Speaker 1: to episode eight of our reruns of the Last of

4
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: Us the TV show. This was the pin ultimate episode.

5
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: It was a very intense one. I was discussed in

6
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: this episode. This is, in my opinion, the scariest part

7
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: of the game. It's when you're playing as Ellie and

8
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: you don't really have any weapons, and it's just it's

9
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: a grim It's a grim episode. It's a grim part

10
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: of the game. By the way, I just beat the

11
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,319
Speaker 1: Last of Us to again Surprise. After we got back

12
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: from Seattle, I replayed it and it was it was

13
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: very I'm just I know I say it all the time,

14
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: but I'm very good at that game. I did it

15
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: pretty quickly. But now I'm replaying well for the first time.

16
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: I'm playing Silent Hell to the remake, and I'm horrible

17
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 1: at it because I'm so used.

18
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,199
Speaker 2: I can't learn the new buttons.

19
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: I am dying like all the time, like I'm on

20
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 1: the verge of I've been on the verge of death

21
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: for at least three hours, and that's the entirety of

22
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: the time I played I'm gonna try again tonight and

23
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: see if.

24
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 2: I can improve some things. I'm gonna like practice or something.

25
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 2: You got good.

26
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: It's not good, but yes, this is one of my

27
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: favorite parts of the game, as brutal as it is,

28
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: so please enjoy. Hey, this is Annie and Samantha. I'm

Speaker 1: That's all right, I understand.

43
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: So as always, there will be spoilers for episode eight,

44
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: called When We Are in Need, the most recent episode

45
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: of the Last of Us and all of the episodes

46
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 1: before that. Samantha was very good, has been very good

47
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: of trying to get me to not spoil anything else.

48
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 2: So I think, I think we can do it.

49
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: This one thing.

50
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 2: We got, this we do, but.

51
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: I oh, I want to be like, let off the leash.

52
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 3: I know I will wait, but we know even with

53
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 3: this finale, you still can't be fully off the leash.

54
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: I know, I know I'm gonna I'm gonna put some

55
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: annoying teaser bag teaser things at the end of this one.

56
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: If you don't want to hear them, you can skip it,

57
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: but I have to put them in, Okay, and if

58
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about, then you know. So

59
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: these are coming out every Saturday after the most recent

60
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: episode has aired on Sunday, uh and they are replacing

61
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: my bi weekly Happy Hours, which you've probably noticed have

62
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: been classics.

63
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 2: That will we'll go.

64
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: Back to our regular schedules scheduling programming once this is over,

65
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: probably probably probably They have announced a season two and three,

66
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: but I think that'll be at least two years from now.

67
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 2: So yeah, well sort of prepping.

68
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, content warning on this one. We're not going to

69
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: get too in depth on these because this sounds really dire,

70
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: and this episode is really dire, but we are going

71
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: to be talking about them. Some pedophilia, sexual assault, attempts, cannibalism,

72
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 1: child abuse, and torture. This is the seconds. There's only

73
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: one more episode left, and I just saw headline that

74
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: it was record breaking with seventy four viewership increase from

75
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: the premiere.

76
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 2: It was a lot.

77
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: It was huge increase, so a lot of people watched it,

78
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: and it was quite disturbing.

79
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 2: I'll say that.

80
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: I got a lot of once again angry text. Well sorry,

81
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: So with that teaser, if you haven't seen it, can

82
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: you give us your excellent recap of the episodes?

83
00:04:58,720 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 3: Man?

84
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 4: Well, before we do that, I need to know.

85
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 3: I need to do a check in because there's one

86
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 3: episode left.

87
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 4: One episode. How are we doing? Annie?

88
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: Well, you saw, I'm like excited. Now it's Tuesday. It

89
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: doesn't come out till next Sunday. I'm very, very excited.

90
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be absolutely bonkers. I did

91
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: get spoiled on one thing. I'm atle mad about that,

92
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 1: but that's okay.

93
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 4: Did I do it?

94
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you did it.

95
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: No, you did it, but it had in conjunction with

96
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: something else that happened together. It spoiled down something. I

97
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: do think it's it's only forty three minute song. I

98
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: think it's going to pack in a lot. I think

99
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: there was a recent article with Bill Ramsey where she

100
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 1: said this is going to really divide the fandom, and

101
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: I think that it will, and that's one of the

102
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: big things I've been wanting to talk about since the beginning. Yeah,

103
00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 1: so I'm like, I'm very very excited. I like that

104
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,359
Speaker 1: kind of like angsty conversation that's gonna come out of it.

105
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: I'm worried there's gonna be a lot of like anger

106
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: and hate, but that's kind of part for the course

107
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: for gaming, so that's unfortunate.

108
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 2: So I'm nervous as well, but I am very excited.

109
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 2: I'm excited.

110
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 4: Oh and are you doing okay?

111
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 3: Knowing that your Sundays are about to be a little

112
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 3: bit emptier with.

113
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 2: I am going to miss them. It's been really fun.

114
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,679
Speaker 1: We hang out, we have like a meal, we drink,

115
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: we talk, and then we watch it together and then

116
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: I watch it again.

117
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 3: It's like you and my partner have a new tradition

118
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 3: where you watch it immediately after and I go to bed.

119
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 1: After everyone has left in Samantha's gun to bed, we

120
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: start again, and I just like picking up on things

121
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 1: that like I don't really watch TV that often. I

122
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: have it on in the background a lot, but I

123
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: don't really like sit and watch, especially in a group,

124
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 1: very often. So it's been fun to do that, be like, oh,

125
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: look at that Easter egg, go look at that thing.

126
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: I am. I'm gonna miss it a lot in two years.

127
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: And like I said, you know, I would say, even

128
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 1: if I have, you know, critiques about it, wish I

129
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: will talk about. And I've heard some from my friends

130
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,559
Speaker 1: about it, like oh it's too short, it's moved too fast,

131
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: or all that stuff. I think it's good, Like undeniably,

132
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: it's very good. And that has been very nice to

133
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: like just watch something and be have this kind of

134
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: feedback of people like oh wow, I'm watching it now

135
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: and I love this and this scared me so much,

136
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: or whatever it is from people in person and from

137
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: people online.

138
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 2: It's been very fun.

139
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 4: Good.

140
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 3: I'm glad now that we've done the check in, let's

141
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 3: do this recap ready, so we open up to watching

142
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 3: a new group of people sitting together reading a verse

143
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 3: from Revelation it seems that they are very churchy, very

144
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 3: religious group of people. They are mourning. At the same

145
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 3: time they're worshiping together. A young woman, young lady probably teens,

146
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 3: is crying and cannot stop from during that time in

147
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 3: which he comes over, he being the pastor or the

148
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 3: leader as we know, find out his name is David,

149
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 3: and if you.

150
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 4: Know, you know warning.

151
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 3: He comes over to talk to her, talking about, you know,

152
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 3: letting the dead russ and knowing that it's hard to

153
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 3: lose people we are together, all these things, and then

154
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 3: she says, can we at least bury him? And it's

155
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 3: talking about her father who had gotten killed, named Alec,

156
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 3: and he said, everybody stops. We look around, and he

157
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 3: looks over at probably the secondhand man.

158
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 4: Who was played by Troy Baker, And if you don't

159
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 4: know who that is, we'll explain in a minute, but

160
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 4: it is.

161
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 3: Important and we've talked about him before, and his name

162
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 3: is James, and they kind of give each other the

163
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 3: face and the David, the leader comes around and he's like,

164
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 3: you know, we knew, we've talked about this.

165
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 4: We can't bury him because the ground is too cold.

166
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 3: It is a wintry, renty wintry mess, ice and cold

167
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 3: and snow. Everywhere you feel it, you feel in the colors,

168
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 3: you feel it in their face as they walk out.

169
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 4: After the meeting, David goes to speak.

170
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 3: With James and there was like, oh, there seems to

171
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 3: be a lot of doubt there, and James's like, people

172
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 3: are just scared. He's like, no, I'm not talking about them,

173
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 3: and ret row not a good sign. Then we hear

174
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 3: him saying, you know, come on, we're going to go

175
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 3: try to find deer, which people have said that have

176
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,439
Speaker 3: been seen out around.

177
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 4: We cut two.

178
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 3: Ellie is in the basement with Joel still who was

179
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 3: still unconscious, as she's freaking out, trying to give him

180
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 3: some water because she's like, are you thirsty? And then

181
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 3: she splits us two bites of food I guess a

182
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 3: jerky and places one on his chest hoping that he

183
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 3: will eat.

184
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 4: Then she takes his rifle decides to go hunt. She hunts,

185
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 4: and he actually gets a deer.

186
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 3: There is a moment that you think she's about to

187
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 3: kill a rabbit, which if you've played.

188
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 4: The game, you know you know beat dubs.

189
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 3: She does not, So we go on to see that

190
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 3: she's following the track into the bloody deer.

191
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 4: Because she did get a shot off.

192
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 3: Then we come back to James and David, who has

193
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 3: discovered this dead deer looking around. They're like, well, they're

194
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 3: not here, so maybe we can grab it. We can

195
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 3: go quickly, which Ellie pounces and she's like, step away

196
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 3: from the deer.

197
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 4: Put down your rifle, and David turns around. He's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

198
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 3: We don't want to rob you. What if we give

199
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 3: you a trade? Let me put down the rifle. Bah

200
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 3: bah them put down the rifle. And he's like, we

201
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 3: got a whole village of people we would need to feed,

202
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 3: and she's like, so do why And then he's like, well,

203
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 3: how about you know, we do a trade. And he's

204
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 3: like we've got food, we've got boots, and she's like

205
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 3: do you have medicine and he's like, well, yes, we do.

206
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 3: And so she's like, okay, well, why don't your buddy

207
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 3: boy go and grab the stuff. You stay with me,

208
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 3: and if he brings it, we can split the deer.

209
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 3: Which I still can't understand how that was going to happen.

210
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 3: How was she even going to drag the deer? How

211
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 3: is she going to cook the deer? There were so

212
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 3: many questions, but I get it. But during this time,

213
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 3: and you know, James's like, oh am, I supposed to

214
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 3: kill her. And he's like, no, this is not code.

215
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 3: Go get Pennis, Go get syringes. Go now, we'll stay

216
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 3: here Ellie and hit them hang out for a minute.

217
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 3: Ellie empties the guns and he's like, why don't we

218
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 3: go into that shelter. I've got supplies to make a fire,

219
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 3: and we'll just hang out until James comes back.

220
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 4: Cool. Cool, Cool.

221
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 3: They go and sit and there's this lot of philosophical

222
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 3: conversation happening in this moment, very important conversation in which

223
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 3: she talks about you know, it's all.

224
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 4: About luck or whatever. He's like, I don't believe in luck.

225
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 3: For instance, let me tell you this. I sent a

226
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 3: bunch of men to a village to go see if

227
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 3: they can find supplies, and turns out they were murdered

228
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 3: by this really crazy man.

229
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 4: And get this, this crazy man had a little girl

230
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 4: with him. Shoot to see. I don't this is what

231
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 4: I mean. This is fate.

232
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 3: And then we see that James has got a gun

233
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 3: on her, in which David says stop giving the syringes.

234
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 4: She can go. Essentially, he's like, what you know, Like yeah, He's.

235
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 3: Like, I can help you. You're not going to survive

236
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 3: here out in the cold alone.

237
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 4: And again she's like, you know, I'm not alone. Be fine.

238
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 4: He's like, we can help you. But whatever, whatnot.

239
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 3: She takes the medicine, runs away, comes to Joel, and

240
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 3: then she gives him a shot of venicella into his wound,

241
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 3: which our friend Marissa, who is in the nursing field

242
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 3: who you have heard from, had a lot of critique

243
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 3: on this, the way that she was putting the medicine in,

244
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 3: but she does it does well, keeps going. This time,

245
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 3: David and James returned to the village. They're like, look,

246
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 3: we got venison. But before they get there, all the

247
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 3: townspeople are eating some kind of yummy meat and everybody

248
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 3: kind of sits there and goes, what are we eating?

249
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 3: And they're like venison And then they're like, wait, but

250
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 3: the venison wasn't there, how hmm. But David comes back

251
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 3: trying to be joyous, like, look we got deer, we

252
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 3: got meat, and they are all somber and quiet, and

253
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 3: he's like, if you've heard this rumor that yes, we

254
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 3: did find that man.

255
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 4: We did.

256
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 3: I did let her go, but we will go back

257
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 3: and track them down. At that point, the same young

258
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 3: teenage girl gets up and says, you should kill them,

259
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 3: you should kill both of them, at which point David

260
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 3: comes over and violently slaps her and says, you know,

261
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 3: you act like you don't have a dad. I'm your daddy,

262
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 3: and that's not in the internet way we were talking about.

263
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 2: I don't know.

264
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 4: So as that goes down, we realize, oh, he's not cool.

265
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 4: This is not cool.

266
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:24,959
Speaker 3: So he does take a group of men and they

267
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 3: go on their way to hunt him down. While she's

268
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 3: singing with Joel, she goes back out trying to look

269
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 3: around to see I guess either maybe get the breath

270
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 3: of fresh air or a situation, and she hears a

271
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 3: noise like, oh, fluttering of birds. Obviously something's disrupted the atmosphere.

272
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 3: Goes and sees that the men have come back, followed

273
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 3: her to the house. So she goes downstairs, gives Joel

274
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 3: a knife and says, I'm gonna try to lead them away,

275
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 3: but if they do come down here, kill them, And

276
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,959
Speaker 3: so she does that. She puts a bookshelf against the door,

277
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 3: runs away, takes the poor horse, choos off at them,

278
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 3: tries to distract them.

279
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 4: As she does, the horse gets shot.

280
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,439
Speaker 3: Very sad I hated that, and she falls off, falls unconscious,

281
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 3: and David and James and another man take her back

282
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 3: to the village, while three others stay behind to hunt

283
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 3: down Joel, in which David says, if you want your vengeance,

284
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 3: go get it, so we'd go too. They go away

285
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 3: and huh, and we see that she is locked up.

286
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 3: She wakes up and she's like, what's going on? Why

287
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 3: am I in a cage? And then he goes through

288
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 3: all of these conversations about how, oh you know, I

289
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 3: can he be here to help you. We're one and

290
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 3: the same. I have a violent way and so do you.

291
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 3: I've always known this and I.

292
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 4: See it in you. We are much alike. We can

293
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 4: do a lot together.

294
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 3: And then does that creepy thing where he touches her

295
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 3: hand and be implying things, not good things, in which

296
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 3: at that point he's like, what's your name?

297
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 4: And she's like, I don't care, like try not to him,

298
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 4: and then she.

299
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 3: Breaks his finger and this ruckus happens, and she tries

300
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 3: to grab the keys and he bangs her head against

301
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 3: the door and she falls back and he's like, I

302
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 3: tried to help you, because at that point he was

303
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 3: bargaining everything from like you'll be helped, you won't be alone.

304
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 4: We'll let Joel go.

305
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell the men to stop hunting them. They

306
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 3: listen to me. I'm a leader, you're a leader.

307
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 4: And at that point, because he's bad, he goes, now,

308
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 4: what you what's going to happen to you?

309
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: Now?

310
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 3: What's going to happen to him? You know this is

311
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 3: on you. Essentially, I'm gonna go take care of things.

312
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 3: So he runs out after calling her media words which

313
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 3: would be bleeped.

314
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 4: On here, so I won't say it. Flash back to

315
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 4: oh No.

316
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 3: The men are hunting Joel down and one of them

317
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 3: discover where he is.

318
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 4: But Joel woke up, realizes he has to.

319
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 3: Get into survival tactic, kills one man real hard and

320
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 3: then tortures another man oh and knocks out both men,

321
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 3: essentially ties him up, put him in the same area,

322
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 3: talks to one man who's tied down, who wakes up

323
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 3: when he was unconscious to see Joel like covering over him,

324
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 3: saying where is she? Where did they take her all

325
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 3: the tricks of the torture. He's like, if you don't

326
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 3: tell me, I'm gonna blow off your kneecaps. He just

327
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 3: goes like, man, man, you don't have to do this,

328
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 3: and then he stabs his knee and we hear him

329
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 3: scream and the buddy boy scream in the background. And

330
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 3: so he says, point to where she is on this map,

331
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 3: and if your partner doesn't agree, y'allre both dead, in

332
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 3: which the dude does, do do, dude, I'll tell her.

333
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 3: I tell you here she is, and then he kills them. Anyway,

334
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 3: the other dude was like, man, what are you doing?

335
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 4: Why did you do that? I'm never going to tell you.

336
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 3: Now he's like, that's fine, I believe him, and then

337
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 3: he kills him too, and then so he goes after Ellie.

338
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 3: At this point in time, we see James and David come.

339
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 4: Back grab her out of the cellar. Oh big key point.

340
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 4: She had seen ears on the floor and.

341
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 3: Realizes they have been eating people and she accuses them

342
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 3: of being monsters and she would never She asks him,

343
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 3: are you going to chop me up in tiny pieces?

344
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 3: And now he comes back and he's like, yeah, I'm

345
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 3: going to chop you up in tiny pieces. So they

346
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 3: grab her, put her on the butcher block, essentially ready

347
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 3: to go to town. She starts screaming, no, don't do this,

348
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 3: don't do this. I'm infected, and they both stop and

349
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 3: they're like what, because he had at this point gotten

350
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 3: bitten by her and had a bloody, bloody nub of

351
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 3: a hand, just getting his bloody hand, and she's like,

352
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 3: roll up my sleeve. Look you'll see, you'll see I'm infected,

353
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 3: and now so are you. So they pull up her

354
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 3: sleeve and James is freaking out and David's trying to

355
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,919
Speaker 3: figure things out. He's like, there's no way, there's no

356
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 3: way you'd have turned by now, you'd turn by now,

357
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 3: And this gives her enough time to grab the axe

358
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 3: and hack James in the neck, which he dies violently,

359
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 3: while she rolls off and runs away and David is

360
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 3: shooting at her and chases her down into a restaurant

361
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 3: of that little area. She throws a burning branch stick

362
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 3: at him, which hits a curtain, sets the place on

363
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 3: fire slowly, and he's like, you know what I am

364
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 3: going to take you.

365
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter.

366
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 3: You are going to live, and so am I all

367
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 3: of these things, and I am good. I decided you

368
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 3: do need a father and I will be your father.

369
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 3: That feels very threatening, and.

370
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 4: Then he does a whisper I'm coming to get you.

371
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,199
Speaker 3: Where are you? Illy does all of that stuff, and

372
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 3: she's hiding in the background.

373
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 4: She jumps on him.

374
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 3: He is able to take her down, and at this

375
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 3: point we know things are getting gross because he is

376
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 3: implying that he's about to rape her at that point,

377
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 3: but she's able to grab a knife jams it in

378
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 3: his neck.

379
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 4: He flips off. She pounces on him.

380
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 3: And repeatedly stabs him, repeatedly stabs him in a very

381
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 3: violent and malicious way, screaming, and then she runs out

382
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 3: the door, traumatized, bloody. When Joel comes around and grabs her,

383
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 3: she's freaking out, thinking to someone else, until he captures

384
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 3: her face and says it's me, It's me, and she

385
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 3: stops to look and he hugs her and says I

386
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 3: got you, baby girl, as she's saying he was about

387
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 3: to and then they leave.

388
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 4: Yeah.

389
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 2: I like how you always ended with it, dude.

390
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 4: I feel like it has to happen.

391
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, excellent as always, Thank you, Samantha. I do want

392
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: to a couple of like housekeeping at the top. Number

393
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: one is in the last episode we kind of made

394
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: a very vague, weird dimension of the rabbit scene. Yes,

395
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 1: if you've been like turning over your head, what could

396
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: they have meant about that? So there's an infamous scene

397
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 1: in the game where Ellie there's like a pretty rabbit.

398
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:57,719
Speaker 1: It like literally goes to the serene. It goes from

399
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:03,199
Speaker 1: like you think Joel has done hard cut. You are

400
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 1: now Ellie and you're hunting, and that there's no other explanation.

401
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: You were playing as Ellie now, which I'm going to

402
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: talk about more in a second. And you see this

403
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: rabbit and it's so pretty, it's like snow is glistening

404
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: in the light. You're like, oh, rabbit, and then an

405
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: arrow comes from right through the neck, blood everywhere. And

406
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: the reason why it's kind of infamous is because a

407
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: lot of those like YouTube videos where a guy is

408
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:34,679
Speaker 1: usually a guy is like, hey, girlfriend, come watch me

409
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 1: play this, or come play this. Look how cute, and

410
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: then they're shocked and horrified at what happens. And so

411
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: that's what we were talking about that and that's why

412
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't think with the effects, it

413
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: would have been worse the cost of what would have taken.

414
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 2: They had a nod at it.

415
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 3: They had a little like that, and they did switch

416
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 3: up her lessons. So in the game she has a

417
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 3: bow and arrow, but they gave her for the show,

418
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 3: and I'm assuming they'll never have her using a bow

419
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 3: and arrow in especially in season one, because that's not

420
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 3: being introduced at all.

421
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 1: Yes, and I think that is because what I'm going

422
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 1: to talk about more in a second, But because these

423
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: are video games, I've seen a lot of arguments about

424
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: like why did they cut this?

425
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 2: Why did they cut this?

426
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 1: There is a whole scene where you're playing as Ellie

427
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 1: where you have to work with David when you first

428
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 1: meet him, and there are clickers, there are bloaters.

429
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 2: You have to fight all of them.

430
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: And in the game that's meant to endear you to him,

431
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 1: like you have to work together.

432
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 2: He does.

433
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 1: Protect her, he gives her weapons like you know you

434
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: do you have to work with him, And part of

435
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: that is she only has the bow and arrow and

436
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: he gives.

437
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 2: Her the rifle.

438
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 1: It's not Joel's rifle because she leaves that with him

439
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: thinking something maybe he'll need it. But it's also because

440
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: you have a whole scene. As I said in the

441
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,400
Speaker 1: last one, this is the scariest section of the game

442
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 1: in my opinion, because suddenly you're playing is Ellie. Ellie

443
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:05,719
Speaker 1: is much smaller, She has like no weaponry other than

444
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: a couple of things, and is like where's Joel can

445
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 1: take a lot of good hits. She can't, but she's stealthier, Like,

446
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: she has things that she's better at than Joel, and

447
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: like I said, one of them is she can kill

448
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: it clicker in one hit.

449
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 2: Joel can't do that generally.

450
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,719
Speaker 1: But the bow and arrow is like the compromise because

451
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: they can't hear you use the bow and arrow, So

452
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: if you're.

453
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 2: Really good at it, it's like my favorite weapon.

454
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: Then you can take out a lot of people and

455
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 1: they'll never hear it, so you're still kind of being

456
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: stealthy but taking people out.

457
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't think they'll introduce it at all

458
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 2: in this season.

459
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, I have so much to say about this one,

460
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: but I do want to start with Also, yes, Troy Baker.

461
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 2: Who's on the podcast.

462
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: Is the voice actor of Joel and also a lot

463
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,959
Speaker 1: of other like if you've played any video game, in

464
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: this realm. You've probably heard him. He does do a

465
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: lot of these kind of griff fatherly figures. It turns

466
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 1: out I'm telling you about that TikTok. People have been

467
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: sent to me about people cosplaying his quote try Baker's daughter,

468
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: because in so many video games he plays that role.

469
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: He was James who is the Creeper number two And

470
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 1: you can watch the you know, behind the show afterwards

471
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,239
Speaker 1: where he talks about like how amazing this was, how

472
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,479
Speaker 1: rewarding it was for him. He never thought he'd do this.

473
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: He thought maybe he'd be a clicker at most. It

474
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: was cool to it's like we talked about Samantha. It's

475
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: cool to see that they're including the voice actors in it,

476
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: at least some of them. And it was kind of

477
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: a bit. It kind of messed with my mind about

478
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 1: because in the game he's Joel, yeah, and he's protecting

479
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 1: Ellie and he looks like Joel.

480
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:43,959
Speaker 2: And then.

481
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 3: We all had a bet about who was gonna end

482
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 3: up killing James, and so many people was like, it's

483
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 3: gonna be Joel on Joel, but it was Ellie on Joel,

484
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 3: which was almost the worst.

485
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 4: I know.

486
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: I was like, and then he's the one that shoots

487
00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: the horse and puts her in this like really dangerous situation.

488
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 2: So that was a really interesting right.

489
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 4: And he also knew about the cannibalism.

490
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 3: Oh I forgot that part where Joel sees the dead

491
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 3: bodies without their heads hanging upside down.

492
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 4: We'll creep this.

493
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're like like curing like meat in their plastic acts.

494
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,400
Speaker 3: And oh they're the dead, including the father. Yes, they

495
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 3: did not bury.

496
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 1: Yes, And so David is sitting in front of this

497
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 1: poor girl who he just slept and she's eating and

498
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: she is eating her father, who she's so worried about

499
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,199
Speaker 1: it wants to bury and she does it though, and

500
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 1: it's like one of the most.

501
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 3: Disturbing and disturbing and BT doves. We did not mean to,

502
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 3: but we do have food during our before us, and

503
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 3: we ended up having like a meat stew. And I

504
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 3: did not think about it until my partner's sister because

505
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 3: she knows we have these themed things and typically it's

506
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 3: not just themed on Last of Us. It could be

507
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 3: like something's happening that week, but we're just going to

508
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 3: make this thing.

509
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 4: And she asked, did you have be stew?

510
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 3: We were like, oh, my God, we did, and I

511
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 3: did not even think about it until then.

512
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: I thought about it, and then I was like, I'm

513
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 1: not going to mention it because I don't want anybody

514
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: to feel like nauseous.

515
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 2: It's nauseating, but I thank.

516
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 4: You for that. It wasn't.

517
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 3: After I thought, I was like, oh, shoot, we did well.

518
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 2: They don't really.

519
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 1: Show that in the game, like you know it's happening,

520
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 1: but you don't have like such a visceral graphic scene

521
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,439
Speaker 1: of everybody eating it and not knowing.

522
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 4: Yeah.

523
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: But also our lovely friend aforementioned versa, she made this

524
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: wonderful meal, but I did not know there was going

525
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 1: to be a beef stew.

526
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have told her no, but I didn't know

527
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 2: that was going to be part of it.

528
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was so delicious. She slept overs and I'm

529
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 3: eating it still. It's one of my favorite things. We

530
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 3: were telling her. It feels like just a homy hug

531
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 3: the soup does.

532
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:48,919
Speaker 4: But then you think about in that context, you're like, oh,

533
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 4: never mind.

534
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, there's something about all of them because they're

535
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: so hungry, and there's like the clanking of the spoons

536
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 1: against them silently. If to know this is human and

537
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,719
Speaker 1: it's their friend that they're all crying about.

538
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 4: So that this morning, Oh my gosh. Anyway, moving okay.

539
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 1: Anyway, Yes, So I did want to go back to

540
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: the point of playing Ali during the game. So, as

541
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 1: I said in the previous episodes, the first game is

542
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: divided by seasons h and they get progressively shorter hints.

543
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: Why there's only one episode left, and you do play

544
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: as Ali during the winter section, and I think it

545
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,120
Speaker 1: is the serious section. As I've said, you don't know

546
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: that Joel has survived the first hint. You get that

547
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: he has survived when she's like medicine, medicine and they're like, oh,

548
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: maybe he's still He's still there. But if you've listened

549
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: or watched the behind the show thing, if you've read

550
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: some of the articles about this game, this whole section

551
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 1: is what inspired the game. What Neil Druckman, the creator,

552
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: inspired him to do. It was because he writes about

553
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 1: this game he played where wherein it's a very traditional

554
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 1: game where you're playing the kind of like I got

555
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: to rescue the incess in the castle situation as a

556
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 1: male protagonist, and then it turns out not only does

557
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 1: she not need rescuing, she rescues you, so it really

558
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 1: flips and then you're playing as her. So this was

559
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: what he really wanted to explore. And it kind of

560
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: like I was thinking about this last night when I

561
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: was trying to get over the nightmare I had about

562
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 1: a spider.

563
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 2: Long story.

564
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,120
Speaker 1: But whatever, it's unfortunate, but I don't know too many

565
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: games we have done that, Like a lot of times

566
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: you do just play, you know, your traditional hero character,

567
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 1: and he saves your younger, innocent character, usually a woman

568
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 1: or a girl. And we're going to talk about that

569
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 1: more in the finale episode, and we have talked about

570
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: it in our episode on survival gaming, because.

571
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 2: That's still there in this as well.

572
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: But it was like a new thing, like suddenly you

573
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 1: are playing as Ellie, this young girl, and it's like

574
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,400
Speaker 1: totally up to her to save. And in fact it's

575
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:06,120
Speaker 1: interspersed with Joel waking up. He does do this torture scene.

576
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:07,919
Speaker 1: Like I said in the last one. I know this

577
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 1: sounds strange, but it's a really cool game mechanic because

578
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,159
Speaker 1: he's still sick, so he can't like aim as well.

579
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,679
Speaker 1: He'll fall over like he's not doing well, but you

580
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 1: still think he's gonna save her and then.

581
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 2: He doesn't.

582
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: It's just like the timing of it, but the way

583
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:26,919
Speaker 1: it's cut, you still think, oh, okay, but that's not

584
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 1: what happens. And that's what they said in the behind

585
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: the show things that that was like the opposite of

586
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: what they wanted was for him to come in and

587
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 1: save her, but that you're still expecting it because that's

588
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: the story we see all of the time, and even

589
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: you know, to an extent, you want it to happen,

590
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: like you don't want Ellie to have to deal with

591
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: this this horrific thing. And one of the things I

592
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,959
Speaker 1: love about this game, which I'm gonna have a lot

593
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: more to say about this in the final episode, but

594
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: one of the things I do love about it is

595
00:28:55,560 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: this event does not leave Ellie. She is traumatized after this,

596
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: like she It changes the way she interacts with you

597
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: and with the world. She is notably despondent and like

598
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: just gets distracted, kind of doesn't listen, Like I really

599
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: like that they didn't just put under the rug, like, oh,

600
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: she she went through this horrible thing and.

601
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 2: Killed this guy. No, it stays with her.

602
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: For a long time in the game, and there are

603
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 1: kind of big cuts in the game, which has been

604
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 1: I think the source of some people is like wait

605
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: a minute, because it just it'll just cut to spring,

606
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: I'll just cut to winter or whatever, and you miss

607
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: kind of a section of them traveling. But and that's

608
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: also like it's unclear how long Joel has been very

609
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: sick in the game, but it's it's not like days,

610
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: it's longer than that. And she the whole, like DLC

611
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: left behind, she had all already kind of exhausted these

612
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 1: efforts of healing him. So it's not like a couple

613
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: of days. But you know, it's not clear either. All right,

614
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 1: But we got to talk about this cannibal group, Okay,

615
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: so they really leaned into the religious aspect, which I'm

616
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: going to come back to in this. In the game,

617
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: there is that, but it's like not nearly as prevalent,

618
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: but it is another example that we've talked about throughout

619
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: this of like humans are the worst, Like you've got

620
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: your infected, but what's the.

621
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 2: Real horror here is humans? And so the big.

622
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: Gosh, the big thing with David he is so creepy,

623
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, because you do work with him.

624
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 4: He identifies with those zombies.

625
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: He does he has a whole speech where he's like,

626
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: they're fruitful, they multiply, they provide, and they protect using

627
00:30:54,560 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: violence when necessary. He does have this strange They kind

628
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: of played it up, especially between him and James. People

629
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: were starting to doubt him because there was no food,

630
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: they were being deprived of food. They were starting to

631
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: doubt his leadership, and he was getting more and more

632
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 1: angry at his own group and especially around Ellie. Ellie

633
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: was kind of like this blowing up of like, no,

634
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: I think we need her, and they were like, what

635
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: are you talking about. We can't even provide for the

636
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: people that we have. But that whole like his big

637
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 1: line is everything exists for a reason. When I tell

638
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: you that gives me chills. I was so annoying when

639
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: we were watching. I was like, here it comes. He's

640
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: gonna say it because in the game, that's when you're like, oh, no,

641
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: they know that we killed those people.

642
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

643
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 1: But him kind of like he says he turned to

644
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 1: religion after the apocalypse and in part because the cordeous ups.

645
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: He almost makes it sound like that's his God is

646
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 1: not God, but like cordioships showed him the way you

647
00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: see all these like signs he shall provide hanging around

648
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: and I think, you know, his constant discussion around fatherhood

649
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: and oh you need a father, I'm your father.

650
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 2: In his head, he's taking.

651
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: Up this role and it's like a real power trip

652
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 1: for him, absolutely, And he has so many like petty

653
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 1: lines that we can you know, we're not talking about cannibals,

654
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: but we can connect to of like, oh, you know

655
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: how it hurts me embarrassed, Ellie, Like you've really humiliated me,

656
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 1: Like all of these kind of like petty Oh you're

657
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: a guy who's not used to being rejected or any

658
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 1: kind of like.

659
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 2: Somebody questioning your authority.

660
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 1: And then he has also like this whole thing where

661
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 1: he's like, I'm only the leader because they want me

662
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 1: to be the leader. They need a god, they need

663
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 1: a father, they need heaven. They're just basically sheep. Well

664
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: he says sheep, but you know, and he's like, I

665
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: want an equal But he's just very condescending of to

666
00:32:55,040 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: the people that he's supposedly supposed to look after, which

667
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: I do think is a lot of commentary on religion.

668
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 1: There's also a lot of commentary of daughters with missing fathers,

669
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: and this was interesting in the behind the show thing

670
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 1: where they were talking about like, Oh, you think he's

671
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 1: going to be like a good person and a good

672
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: father and he turns out like the worst, which I

673
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 1: guess I don't know. I don't think I ever put

674
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: it in my mind like that, but I suppose it's

675
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: supposed to be some kind of Oh. I think he

676
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: is meant to look like he could be a good guy,

677
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: but he's so creepy.

678
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 3: Oh anyway, I feel like he's a lot creepier in

679
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 3: the game from John.

680
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: He's creepier immediately in the game, whereas in the show

681
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 1: he's like not as creepy, and then oh god, worse. Yeah,

682
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 1: So this is speaking of This has caused a lot

683
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: of conversation because some people are like, David was never

684
00:33:54,960 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 1: pedophilic in the game, and I told you the voice

685
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: actor who played him always intended for him to be

686
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: read that way, and it certainly can be read that way.

687
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 1: I think it was more overt in the show, but

688
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: it's not like.

689
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,879
Speaker 2: It's there. It's there in the game as well.

690
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: Like he does the whole like holding of the hand scene,

691
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: he does the whole like basically become my wife thing

692
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: with Ellie in the game as well. I think what

693
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: really like watching it again, really like struck me is

694
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: I hate he has this line where he was a

695
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: teacher and he taught kids about your age.

696
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 2: So upsetting.

697
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: But he also has a lot of clients like I'm

698
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,879
Speaker 1: a decent man. You don't know how good I am.

699
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: You do need a father, Like you said, I can

700
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 1: protect you. It's mercy to protect her. Like he's very

701
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: much painting himself, like, you need me to protect you.

702
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: But if you do anything wrong, anything that is not

703
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:52,839
Speaker 1: like in my favor, what I think you should do,

704
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 1: then I'm going to do like the very worst things,

705
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,400
Speaker 1: calling you the very worse things like And there's definitely

706
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: like again commentary, I think about the whole like preacher father.

707
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 2: Thing happening here. But he, I mean, he's terrified. Like

708
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 2: this scene.

709
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: Where you're in the restaurant in the game is one

710
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 1: of the scariest things I've ever played, because you it's

711
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:22,879
Speaker 1: burning down. He can hear you stepping on glass. He's

712
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 1: so much bigger than you. He's got like this huge

713
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: cleaver and you have to sneak up on him and

714
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 1: he's saying like these horrible things. It's just like a

715
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: really upsetting, upsetting scene.

716
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 4: Well, if you're saying all this and we're all like, yeah,

717
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:40,760
Speaker 4: this is our favorite game, y'all.

718
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: I know, we have a really fun idea to maybe

719
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: compare us playing our favorite games, which I think would

720
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 1: be great.

721
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 2: Well, so.

722
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 1: All of this is juxaphose with Yes, Scholl is waking up.

723
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:15,399
Speaker 1: He's realizing like, oh no, Ellie is in trouble, and

724
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: so he uses the old map trick which we talked

725
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: about in episode six. He does that a couple times

726
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: where he has somebody point to a spot on the

727
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 1: map and then the other person has to confirm it

728
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 1: to make sure that they're not lying. This like really

729
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 1: horrendous torture scene, and then him you know, struggling through

730
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,879
Speaker 1: to find her and seeing those dead bodies, seeing her

731
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: backpack away. And I do think it's interesting that the

732
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 1: previous episode no. Episode six set up his like anxiety

733
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 1: and so much worry of failure, whereas they didn't do

734
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: that in the game, Like he was definitely desperate, and

735
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,919
Speaker 1: you could tell by like how he tortured these men

736
00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 1: and killed them that he was definitely desperate, but it

737
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: didn't set up kind of that like which I felt

738
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 1: you could feel in his performance of the oh God,

739
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:06,839
Speaker 1: I'm failing again and here it is.

740
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 2: But as all this is happening, we see Ellie.

741
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, she gets he threatened, David threatens her with sexual assaults.

742
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 2: She gets the cleaver and just.

743
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: Like completely is screaming, stabbing him over and over and

744
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: over again, which does happen in the game. And I

745
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: saw the next day a lot of people were like,

746
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 1: this is she should get an Emmy for this, this performance,

747
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: and it was very you know, I think the first

748
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 1: time I watch it, I was like, oh, so caught

749
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: up in it, but I have cried at other watches

750
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 1: because it's so upsetting, like it's so like seeing her so.

751
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 2: Visceral about it and it's so hurt. And he did

752
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 2: have that.

753
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,319
Speaker 1: David did have that conversation with her where he's like,

754
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 1: you've got a violent heart. I have one too, I

755
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 1: see you you in me like I see me and

756
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: you and all of this really upsetting stuff that you

757
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 1: can tell is like, oh getting in her head. And

758
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 1: does he say there's no fear in love, which is

759
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:22,320
Speaker 1: such an upsetting, upsetting line, But this was like, you know, again,

760
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 1: Ellie didn't need saving. They did say in after the

761
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 1: show thing like you know, she it was like an

762
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: emotional saving but not like this, and I do love

763
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 1: she uses that infected trick.

764
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 2: Is so smart like that she was.

765
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,439
Speaker 1: It was a very show of intelligence during a very

766
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 1: horrific time when they're about to chop her up into

767
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:47,879
Speaker 1: pieces and eat her.

768
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 2: I love the guy and Ellie is. Ellie is the

769
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 2: girl who broke your finger.

770
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: That's one of my favorite lines, the little girl who

771
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 1: broke your finger, because he was so embarrassed.

772
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 2: Like what am I going to tell the others?

773
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 1: What will I say? She's like, oh, tell them? But

774
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 1: then you know, you have the line from the showrunner Cognizon,

775
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 1: who was like, you know, as much as we love her,

776
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 1: we have to be a little scared of her. And

777
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 1: that is something I've said a million times. Ellie is

778
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: so she's got a lot of like curiosity and innocence,

779
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: and she's a child, and I think it's important people

780
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 1: remember she's a child, because I think they forget. And

781
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 1: I'll have more to say about that as well. But

782
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 1: she's terrifying, like I wouldn't mess with her. She will

783
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 1: kill you. She will kill you. And then yeah, you

784
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,720
Speaker 1: do see kind of this is another example of trauma.

785
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 1: What does it take to survive in this world? And it,

786
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: as they said in that like after shifting, it scars

787
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:43,399
Speaker 1: her in a way that forever changes her. It's kind

788
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 1: of like Riley when Riley died. This is the thing

789
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 1: that say with her and this whole idea that they

790
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 1: are very very much hammering home of like Ellie having

791
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: this violent heart of being turning to violence or that's

792
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,839
Speaker 1: the only way she can survive or things like that.

793
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:04,359
Speaker 1: And again, just like Joel, and the big thing that

794
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,839
Speaker 1: happens here is, you know, finally Joel calls her baby girl,

795
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 1: which is something that he called his daughter. He hasn't

796
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 1: used it for twenty years. This is the first time,

797
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: and that's just like the turning point of oh, he's

798
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 1: finally okay. This is like a daughter figure to me.

799
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 1: She clings to him. It's like I need some kind

800
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 1: of comfort. It's it's one of my favorite scenes in

801
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: the game. It's very upsetting, but it's very well done.

802
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: And you know, after again the kind of whole talk

803
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: about what can't fail and seeing this that's definitely definitely

804
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: setting some things up. I also want to just call

805
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 1: out the sets. This was really on point with the game.

806
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:52,799
Speaker 1: It was very beautiful, slash terrifying, kind of wintry landscape

807
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 1: was really good. But yeah, that's it's so funny because

808
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 1: it's like only sixty minutes, but they packed so much

809
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:01,800
Speaker 1: into the sixty minutes.

810
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 4: It was full of action, very quick.

811
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:05,399
Speaker 2: It was.

812
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 1: It was and so many like there was a lot

813
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 1: of like exclamations of disgust.

814
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:15,439
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh yeah.

815
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: It costs a lot of conversation. I do have a

816
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 1: couple of random things.

817
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 2: One is, did she lose her pun book in the game.

818
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 1: She doesn't lose her pun book, but he did not

819
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:26,319
Speaker 1: pick up her backpack, so I don't know about that.

820
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:27,879
Speaker 4: I'm sure they grabbed it.

821
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 2: I hope so.

822
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 1: And also, Samantha and I took a BuzzFeed quiz, very legitimate, yes,

823
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 1: BuzzFeed quiz about what character we would be, and.

824
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 4: I got Frank oh, and I was Tess.

825
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,720
Speaker 2: Oh who Okay? All excellent.

826
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 1: Actually, everyone I've talked to about this has gotten a

827
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 1: different character.

828
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:48,360
Speaker 2: That's interesting.

829
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: I didn't mention in the previous episode how important that

830
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 1: Aha song is take on me to the series, but

831
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 1: just to mention that in there, here's my up next

832
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 1: if you don't want anything. I'm not going to spoil anything,

833
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 1: but if you don't want anything, you can you can

834
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:07,320
Speaker 1: click off and return.

835
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 2: Next time there will be.

836
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: A certain animal appearance, perhaps maybe Ashley Johnson, who I

837
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 1: realized in the previous episode. I just said her name

838
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 1: and didn't say anything else about her. She's the voice

839
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: actor of Ellie.

840
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 3: Just Ashley Johnson, and she's somewhat infamoused. She is a

841
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:29,400
Speaker 3: child actor that's been around for a very very long time.

842
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:35,359
Speaker 3: She was in very quickly for the original Avengers as

843
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 3: the waitress. But she is a very distinctive voice. Yes so,

844
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 3: and it's never like she's had since childhood. Like there's

845
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,799
Speaker 3: a very distinct way that you when you watch these

846
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 3: family sitcoms, you know you've heard this voice.

847
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, and if you know after this ends and

848
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,399
Speaker 1: you're looking for more content, I know I've mentioned it before,

849
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 1: but you can see a lot of like them filming,

850
00:42:57,160 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 1: and she does the filming the games, and she does

851
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 1: the like acting and body movements and everything.

852
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 2: But it's really cool to see her do it. And

853
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:07,399
Speaker 2: she's great. She's great.

854
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, apparently she's some huge D and D yes I.

855
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 2: Know, yes, I do.

856
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:17,400
Speaker 1: Also look This was my vague anti promise that they

857
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 1: are setting some things up.

858
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 2: Okay, like they are really but yeah, it's the end

859
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:27,879
Speaker 2: of the next episode. That's it.

860
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 3: I know, I know we will have another clip of that.

861
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 2: That's what you're in. No, it's gonna be oh my gosh,

862
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 2: it's gonna be great.

863
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,520

864
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 1: you've watched the show, played the game, none of the above,

865
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:46,319
Speaker 1: because we have.

00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 2: I have, definitely. I hope we have loved doing that.

867
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,720
Speaker 2: Yes we have, and I'll miss them. I'll miss them greatly.
