And it was a 15 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 3: very moving episode. 16 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:10,039 Speaker 2: It did have a lot. 17 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 3: Of the that that content that like playing that was 18 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,199 Speaker 3: very different than a lot of stuff in the Last 19 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 3: of Us, but also that I've just ever played because 20 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 3: it had so many like let's take pictures together, or 21 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 3: let's play this water gun game, or it was just 22 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 3: a kind of very sweet mini game thing that was 23 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 3: happening within the Zombie Apocalypse world, but within the backdrop 24 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 3: is how Ellie is dealing with Joel dying, and so 25 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 3: it's seeing her, seeing her trying to save him, trying 26 00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 3: to get him this medicine, and having these flashbacks of 27 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:04,919 Speaker 3: her first love Riley, and they share a very sweet, 28 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 3: messy kiss and it's cute. 29 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:11,399 Speaker 1: I describe that. 30 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 3: I think it's cute because it's clear they're not experienced, 31 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,559 Speaker 3: like it's a very awkward kiss. 32 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:25,399 Speaker 2: But of course zombies come in and a ruin of thee. 33 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 3: But she's having these flashbacks in part because she feels 34 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 3: like she's always she says throughout the first game, like 35 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 3: I'm afraid of ending up alone. Everyone's always left me 36 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 3: all of this stuff. Joel is telling her to leave 37 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 3: and she's like at the door, having these flashbacks of 38 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 3: like should I leave or should I stay?

She has too much knowledge I do, 69 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 3: and I forget. I forget sometimes. But I feel like 70 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 3: we've done it pretty good.

We're releasing on 72 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 3: Saturdays the week after the most recent episode, and it 73 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 3: is replacing my Happy Hours. But we will return to 74 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 3: regular program maybe. I think at some point this one 75 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 3: content warning for I guess general sadness, violence, trauma, trauma, yeah, 76 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 3: I guess alcohol use. 77 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 2: Potentially, especially among younger people. 78 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: But suicide. 79 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 2: It's suicide. Yeah, So yes, this is. 80 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 3: Based on the DLC, the downloadable content called Left Behind, 81 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 3: which I will talk about more briefly in a second. 82 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 3: But if you want to know more about that, you 83 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 3: can see our recent Fictional Women episode on Riley for 84 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 3: more information on her portrayal in the games and comics, 85 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 3: which is pretty much the same but a lot more backstory, 86 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 3: I would say in that if you want it, you 87 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 3: can also see our Happy Hour on the remake that 88 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 3: we did kind of recently, the Last of Us Part 89 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 3: one remake, and I'll talk about why that matters in 90 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 3: a second. But in the meantime, Samantha, do you want 91 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 3: to do your wonderful recap? 92 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:01,119 Speaker 2: Yes? 93 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: I can do this all right. So we are opening 94 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: scene of seeing bloody I guess tracks essentially going into 95 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: an abandoned home and where we go to all the 96 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: way down to the basement and realize that Joel is 97 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: lying there still at this time alive but barely, and 98 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 1: then in a lot of pain, bleeding out. For some 99 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,559 Speaker 1: odd reason, Ellie keeps trying to make him press against 100 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: his own wounds, like he's not bleeding out, but okay, sure, 101 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: why not. At this point, they go back and forth 102 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 1: about how to do this. He finally grabs her and says, 103 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: you've got to go back. You gotta go north and 104 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: find Tommy. You've got to leave, save yourself. She's like, no, 105 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: I don't want to, and then he has the strength 106 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 1: to push her back, so I'm sure that gushed out 107 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 1: more blood there that is. And she kind of looks 108 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: at him in the shock and looks back up, and 109 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: then she runs up the door, hand on the door 110 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: to get out, and then we go to flashback. We're 111 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: in a flashback where she is at the QZ listening 112 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: to her Sony Walkman, which apparently was a thing in 113 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 1: the comics, because if you have listened to that episode 114 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: you will find this out as I did. And she 115 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 1: is running around in the gym. A girl comes and 116 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 1: bullies her and says, you know, oh, your protector's not here. 117 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: What are you going to do about it? They end 118 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: up fighting. She ends up getting that girl enough injury 119 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: that that girl has to have seventeen stitches, while you 120 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: know Ellie has a black guy. She sits in front 121 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: of an officer who pretty much tells her, Hey, we're 122 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: trying to make you an officer. You're so good at this. 123 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: We want you to live the life because apparently it's not. 124 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: There's like a hierarchy and if you're an officer, you 125 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: get all the good things while everybody else doesn't get 126 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: the good things. And so she's like, okay, I choose 127 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: to be an officer. Flashed forward to her going to 128 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: her room where she's in the dark room with all 129 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: of her posters. In her room, she pulls out a book. 130 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: It turns out to be the first pun book. And 131 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: Annie does not have this copy. And it's a shame 132 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: and I'm disappointed in you just a little bit. Yeah, 133 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: but it's okay, but it's okay. We turn to look 134 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: that the roommate is not there. Her side of the 135 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: room is completely empty. We have some moments of oh sad, 136 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: and then she goes to sleep. We know someone's crawling 137 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: through the window. Who could it be? And she tries 138 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: to cover Ellie's mouth. Ellie like jumps up, pushes her, 139 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: kicks her, and ready to stab her. Turns out it's Riley, 140 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: the roommate that has left, and she's been gone for 141 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: three weeks and for all that Ellie knew was that 142 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: she was dead at this point, but she's not. She's back, 143 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: and she's like, where the hell did you come from? 144 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: Where have you been? A little argument ensues because you know, 145 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: they argue apparently all the time, and then it turns 146 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: out Riley has joined the Fireflies, which Ellie thinks is 147 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: a joke until Riley shows off her handgun and she's like, 148 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 1: oh my god, you really have a little small argument 149 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 1: ensues because you know, Ellie's at now right now like 150 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 1: she's not pro pro fedra, but she is more towards 151 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,319 Speaker 1: Fedra than fireflies. So we have a moment or in 152 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: exchange and all of these arguing. Riley's like, if you 153 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: will shut up, I've got a surprise for you. Come 154 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: with me. Throws pants on, makes Riley turn around to 155 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: put pants on. Right. I was like, this is so weird. 156 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: Why do you have to always do this? 157 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 2: She's like to turn around. 158 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,079 Speaker 1: They get all their stuff, they go down the stairs. 159 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: They're like, you know, the Federal don't know anything. And 160 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: then I said, they're about to go exit, a Federick 161 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,079 Speaker 1: comes by. She's like, Ellie's like, haha, see there, they 162 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: don't know anything, huh whatever. So they continue on. They 163 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,680 Speaker 1: escape through a building which is so many stairs, and 164 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: she does the things that many of my friends too 165 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 1: that I'm very upset about. When they're like, it's not 166 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: far and then like twenty minutes later, you're like, where 167 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 1: the hell am I? You're like, you lied to me. 168 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: But they finally go up all the stairs, come up 169 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: to a body and they go to investigate a dead body. 170 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 1: They have a conversation about seeing dead bodies before. It 171 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: turned out that Riley had because of her parents. There 172 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 1: we find that the dude has a very expensive bottle 173 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: of whiskey that he had to exchange a lot of cards. 174 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: I'm guessing that's the currency. And then this assumption is 175 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: that he had taken pills and drank that did this 176 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: on purpose, so it's now deceased. During this time, he 177 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: falls to the floors. Very scary. It was a jump. 178 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 2: Scary, y'all. 179 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: We all we all went what I had a moment. 180 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: They grabbed the whiskey, which is still fine. These young 181 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: underage drinking is a no no, but they drank and 182 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: we're like, okay, haa, let's move on. So they move 183 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: on and they come to the roof and they have 184 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: more conversations about how she got discovered. Turns out Marlene 185 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: is mentioned at this point and she was impressed with 186 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 1: how Riley was able to sneak around in the in 187 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 1: the show, and so she was then asked to join. 188 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: Then they go hopping across roofs, which was like I 189 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 1: would die because I would fall down off every immediately. Yeah, 190 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: then none of I'm like, these kids are courageous because 191 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 1: I'm like I would have died. 192 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 2: It would have been over. 193 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: As they continue on, they finally make it to their place, 194 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,319 Speaker 1: which is the mall, which apparently this whole area was 195 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: supposed to be quarantined and shut off, but it's not. 196 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,680 Speaker 1: And she's like, you know, there's all these infected but like, 197 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: really is there though? Hmm. And turns out that the 198 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: feder had turned power on over there to extend their 199 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 1: territories for more people to have apartments and such, so 200 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 1: this area has power. What rauh? So they go into 201 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,679 Speaker 1: the area, they don't know where they're at, and then 202 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: Riley's like, shut up. I got a surprise for you. 203 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: If you'll go this way, go take a right, go 204 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: through the door. Stand there, tell me when you get there. 205 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: All this ensus Finally Ellie's like, I'm here, and then 206 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: she turns the lights on it. Oh my god, it's 207 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,959 Speaker 1: the mall. Yeah, it's the mall. She's like, oh my god, 208 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: we're at them all. Where's that infected? All these things? 209 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: Won't they see? And apparently they're in a bunker essentially, 210 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,559 Speaker 1: so they can't see underground. I guess they're low enough 211 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: that no one can catch the lights. So she says, 212 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: I have all these wonders for you, and we're gonna 213 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 1: call them the Five Wonders. It took me a minute. 214 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 1: I had to re like, we remember where all these were, 215 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 1: and we're gonna start off with the electric stairs or 216 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 1: the escalators, which is a cute little scene of her 217 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: trying to figure out what they do and going She's like, 218 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: I'm not moving, look at me as she goes up 219 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 1: a down escalator and then they have fun. She almost 220 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: does die because she almost fell off of it, and 221 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 1: that's the thing. So they finally come to that and 222 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: she's like, that's fine, Yep, I've got to four other wonders. 223 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 1: Let's go so they can walk down. They talk about 224 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: how it was looted at one point in time, and 225 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: of course the most important things were taken first, and 226 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: the unimportant things like lingerie from Victoria's Secrets. There's a 227 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: lot of product placement here, y'all, a lot of product placement, 228 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: including a spirit which does that? Is that still around? 229 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 3: As I was, it would have been in like two 230 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,559 Speaker 3: thousand and three, right, which is when that hand. 231 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: I guess, So I guess, so I guess. So you're right. 232 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: There was targeting spot which I think is still. There's 233 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: no b Dalton. Oh were they? Okay? 234 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay. 235 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,839 Speaker 1: We We have a cute little scene about lingerie and 236 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,319 Speaker 1: having eliewhere and being laughing about that because there's this 237 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: song which really looked uncomfortable to me as well. It's 238 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: like why. But then the whole time we're seeing Ellie 239 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: kind of trying to primp herself and look cute because 240 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,679 Speaker 1: she'd planned all these things, and it's like, are we 241 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: on a date? What? And she's like, close your eyes 242 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: and they hold. She takes he to the next part 243 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: the carousel, which they have a cute moment and have 244 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: a conversation, and then they get a little deeper into 245 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 1: the conversation. They're not happy about it, like things are 246 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: happening about the fireflies, conversation, QZ trying to be an officer, 247 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: all these things. What are you doing? Why are you 248 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 1: doing this? It's still sweet. They move on to the 249 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,839 Speaker 1: next thing, which is the photo booth, and she has 250 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,959 Speaker 1: a five dollar bill, which is worthless because we see 251 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: money everywhere. They take very faded pictures with several different poses, 252 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: which you have said in our previous episode that you 253 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: can play. Yeah, these things and all the poses are 254 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: actually in the game. So we have that moment and 255 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: they come out and they go to the next big thing, 256 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 1: which is the arcade Holy and she's come prepared. She's 257 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: been working on hours to break the coin machines so 258 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,319 Speaker 1: they can play. They play their favorite game, Mortal Kombat. 259 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:04,680 Speaker 1: Is very loud, he's getting loud. They're having fun, and 260 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: then they go down to where she has a present 261 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: for her, and they come down and they find out 262 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: that that's where Riley has been sleeping. She's kind of 263 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: hanging out there. That's where Riley gives Ellie her the 264 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: second pun Book. 265 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 2: YEP Volume two, Volume two to you. 266 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: Oh, and so they start reading that off a little bit. 267 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: They don't understand one of them because they have no 268 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: screensheps like, what's that really? And then you find that 269 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: there was bombs there, that there's homemade explosives. Riley has 270 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: been stationed there, and they get into another big argument 271 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: about you know, blowing up people. Would you do this 272 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 1: to me? This is you know, terrorism, all these things, 273 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 1: talking about how bad these things could be. Why would 274 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 1: you do this? Blah blah blah. So she's about to leave, 275 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: so she finally admits that this is the last time 276 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 1: she's going to see her. They're not going to see 277 00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 1: each other because she's been reassigned to Atlanta, and so 278 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: she wanted to do this big thing for her, and 279 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 1: she's asked if Ellie could go, but they said no. 280 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: So all this heartbreak is happening. This was the big goodbye. 281 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: Ellie's mad, and she's like, you know what, go fine, 282 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: and she leaves, and then of course she comes back. 283 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: They have a more conversation. She's like, I do have 284 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 1: one more surprise for you. She leaves, but we do 285 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: see a second shot of one of the I guess 286 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: the communicator zombies, which are they're stuck to the wall, 287 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: but I guess they're able to communicate to other zombies 288 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: to let them know that there are people here. Oh 289 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 1: my god, there's here. So that's what we see. So 290 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 1: we're all on the edge of our seats thinking, oh, 291 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: they're coming, They're coming. But then we also hear all 292 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 1: of a sudden screaming woman and Ellie, here's a screaming woman. 293 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: She runs screaming Riley Riley, and she comes to a 294 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: halloween store with one of those prop graveyards, and Riley says, surprise, 295 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 1: this is your finale.

It's really beautiful moment. And then we 316 00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 1: hear some noises. We hear those noises, and then we 317 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: find one clicker who was very damn fast, goes after 318 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,160 Speaker 1: both of them. One shoots at them, one throws things 319 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 1: at them. They do the knife where and all these things. 320 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 1: They finally kill them, and then we see Riley looking 321 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: at Ellie and Ellie going holy, that was amazing, like 322 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 1: really excited for that moment until she looks down to 323 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 1: where Riley's looking down and sees that she's been bitten 324 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 1: on the arm and she has a panic attack. She's like, no, no, no, no, 325 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:27,639 Speaker 1: And then we look up at Riley and realize that 326 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,879 Speaker 1: Riley has been bitten on the hand. So both of 327 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: them are like, ohh and then Ellie loses it and 328 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: start busting at all the glass, screaming, angry all these things, 329 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: knowing that this is the end. And you see Riley 330 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 1: just sitting against the counter, and then Ellie comes over 331 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 1: his heads and she's like, oh my god, what are 332 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 1: we gonna do?

We can a kill ourselves, 334 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 1: b we could just be real poetic. And then she 335 00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 1: was like, well, what's the third option. She's like, there's 336 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: not one. So but I choose to different people take 337 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: different times. I've seen it. It could be two hours, 338 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 1: it could be two days, and I choose to make 339 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 1: the best of that time. So essentially, I think and 340 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 1: I think it'd be poetic to lose our minds together 341 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 1: quote unquote, and you see them just hold on each other. 342 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 1: Coming back to the current moment where Ellie was about 343 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 1: to walk out the basement, she looks down, runs out 344 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,919 Speaker 1: the door to look for supplies, scrambles everywhere, looks for things, 345 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,400 Speaker 1: only comes back and has a needle and thread essentially 346 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,679 Speaker 1: and is sewing him up. She gives a nod, he 347 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: nods back, and we see them sewing each other up 348 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,640 Speaker 1: and it was super gross. They hold each other's hands 349 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 1: and still super gross. 350 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 3: Oh I am well, thanks again, excellent recap. 351 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,639 Speaker 2: Episode has a lot to tack about it. I just 352 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 2: recommended I think you haven't seen you should watch it. 353 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 3: But whatever, it does have a lot of Easter eggs, 354 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 3: I will say, especially like in Ellie's room and then 355 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 3: things in them all. 356 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 2: They have a lot of call forwards, which is what 357 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:16,640 Speaker 2: I'm calling them. 358 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 3: It's not a callback, it's call forward to what's to come. 359 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 2: So that's very fun. 360 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 3: And in the like post show thing, they talk about 361 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 3: how this is a you know, what was it like 362 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:29,639 Speaker 3: to be a kid in this world and what was 363 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 3: it like to skip school? So before we get into it, 364 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 3: just very quickly again, see our recent episode we did 365 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 3: on Riley for Fictional Women around the World for more information. 366 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 3: But this episode is based on the DLC Left Behind 367 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 3: plus the comic book American Dreams. DLC stands for downloadable content, 368 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 3: so basically the game came out in twenty thirteen on 369 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 3: Valentine's Day, in twenty fourteen, they released this thing that 370 00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,199 Speaker 3: you could download that was, like i'd say too, our 371 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 3: gameplay that. 372 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 2: You could add on, and it was more to the story. 373 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,440 Speaker 3: And I know the next day I told you, Samantha, 374 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,159 Speaker 3: but I was kind of laughing because a lot of 375 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 3: people were arguing about where this came from. They were like, 376 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,159 Speaker 3: what was this? This wasn't in there, Yes it was. 377 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 3: It certainly was more on that a second too. I 378 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 3: do want to say the gay mechanics of it are 379 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:31,160 Speaker 3: very different. As I said in that Riley episode, it 380 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 3: is interspersed, it's different. The main difference I would say 381 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 3: is that it's interspersed with Ellie. 382 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 2: At an abandoned mall trying to find medical supplies to 383 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 2: save Joel. 384 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 3: It also kind of shows you how she got him 385 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 3: to that house, and she's having these flashbacks to what 386 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 3: happened with Riley innerspurs between that. But the game mechanics, 387 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 3: as I said in that Riley episode, are very different. 388 00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 3: They're very sweet, like you're literally playing you have like 389 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,479 Speaker 3: a water gun fights, and you choose which pose you 390 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 3: want to do in the photo booth, and you are 391 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 3: reading puns to each other and you can do that 392 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 3: at kind of any time until you run out of puns, 393 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 3: which I definitely did. So it's kind of like a 394 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 3: very sweet thing, but over the whole of it is 395 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 3: you know how it ends, So there's the anxiety throughout. 396 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,439 Speaker 3: So I think the way they did that in this, 397 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 3: even though, like if you've been paying attention, they've mentioned 398 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 3: Riley several times already, is that when they show you 399 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,880 Speaker 3: the zombie in the basement against the wall, is when 400 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 3: you're like, oh gosh, this is not good. This is 401 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:47,959 Speaker 3: not going to end well. So that kind of that 402 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:53,719 Speaker 3: anxiety hanging over. If you want more of Riley's backstory, 403 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 3: the comic The Last of Us American Dreams has a 404 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 3: lot of it. As I said, there was a big 405 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 3: backlash to this when it came out, so that was 406 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,439 Speaker 3: one of the reasons I kind of chuckled to myself 407 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,159 Speaker 3: even though it's not really funny the next day when 408 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,880 Speaker 3: people were arguing about, like where did this come from? 409 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,199 Speaker 3: Because I think a lot of those people would be 410 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 3: like the so called fans who were just so mad 411 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 3: at that they didn't even play it or either ignored it. 412 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 3: But people were mad. People were mad. Not everybody, but 413 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 3: there was a pretty loud, small group of people, but 414 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 3: very loud who were angry about it. But yeah, let's 415 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 3: talk about Riley, who this was kind of her big story. 416 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,679 Speaker 3: She has been mentioned several times in the show, in 417 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 3: the first episode, second, one, third, one, I think the 418 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,399 Speaker 3: sixth one. Arguably, I don't think like directly, but if 419 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:54,880 Speaker 3: you know who Ellie's talking about, then you're like, oh, okay, yeah. 420 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 2: She is somebody who can stand up to Ellie. 421 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 3: As you said, they argue a lot, and like that 422 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 3: scene where she's like telling Ellie what to do, like 423 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,399 Speaker 3: you go up the stairs, taker right and out the 424 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 3: door and tell me when you're there, Like very strong personality, 425 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 3: but it's it's very sweet. It's like the game is 426 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 3: very sweet, and this was very sweet because it's sort 427 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 3: of a innocent young love like the mall date, you know. 428 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:24,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, And so when. 429 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 3: You see especially as you know us who I don't know, 430 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 3: I grew up with that, when you see like Ellie's 431 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 3: face when the lights come on, she's like teary eyed 432 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 3: because they've never seen anything like that. 433 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 2: She had never seen anything like that. 434 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 3: And Riley having this like date planned even though it's 435 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 3: like not really a date, but it's pretty much a date, 436 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 3: like I'm going to show you like the best parts 437 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 3: of the mall, and I've planned it out. 438 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:51,360 Speaker 2: I love that part. 439 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:57,120 Speaker 3: What Ellie's like, you planned things and Riley's like, it's 440 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:58,120 Speaker 3: just very sweet. 441 00:23:58,280 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 2: It's very sweet. 442 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 3: Like their first kiss is very very sweet, Like you 443 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 3: can tell it's kind of their first kiss.

I did notice 468 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,400 Speaker 3: and one of my multiple rewatches that went into kind 469 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:20,159 Speaker 3: of like zooming into the zombie. Oh they infected in 470 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:24,119 Speaker 3: the basement. It's like an American girl doll store or something. 471 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 2: Oh, it's not. 472 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,719 Speaker 3: I don't think it's that, but it's essentially that, okay, 473 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 3: And it says every story has the beginning over the 474 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 3: cross of it, like, oh, yep, okay, and then I 475 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 3: do I did want to say I have the I 476 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 3: didn't buy this, but it came with something else I 477 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 3: bought that was last of us related. 478 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 2: But I have the polaroid of Ellie and Riley on 479 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,399 Speaker 2: my fridge. Very very cute. 480 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 3: One thing that they did differently that I don't know 481 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:57,639 Speaker 3: that I necessarily like it better in the game, but 482 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 3: it's a very cool thing in the game. It's a 483 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:04,640 Speaker 3: big difference is in the arcade because, as I said 484 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,439 Speaker 3: in that Riley episode, Warner Brothers owns the rights to 485 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 3: Mortal Kombat, so they played Mortal Kombat. But in the game, 486 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,959 Speaker 3: it's this game called Turn the Turning and when they 487 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:19,159 Speaker 3: get to the arcade, it doesn't work, and Ellie is 488 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 3: so disappointed, and Riley tells her to like close your eyes, 489 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 3: and it's a very beautiful sequence of Riley just describing like. 490 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 2: He and sheees his knives, what are you gonna do? 491 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,640 Speaker 3: And Ellie's like kick like and it you can hear 492 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 3: like the sounds in her head of what it sounds like, 493 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 3: and the the lights are kind of on her on 494 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 3: her face, and I think they're gonna do that. There's 495 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 3: another sequence when they do that, so I think they're 496 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 3: saving it for that, but I do. I do love 497 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 3: that part and the lighting. I thought the whole set 498 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 3: was really cool, and like the lighting of it was 499 00:26:55,920 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 3: really really cool. The mask that they wear, the Halloween 500 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 3: masks are exactly from the game. 501 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 2: Exactly. 502 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, and this is actually Ellie hates Halloween stuff, 503 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,919 Speaker 3: by the way, because of this, because she associates it 504 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:19,159 Speaker 3: with this and you do encounter it in the games 505 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 3: a lot, because you know, Outbreak Day was the end 506 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 3: of September and so they already had their Halloween stuff out, 507 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 3: but she hates it. But one of the other things 508 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 3: I wanted to talk about was this whole idea of goodbye, 509 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 3: because you see Ellie really not wanting Riley to leave, 510 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 3: but sort of struggling with like, well, what how do 511 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,119 Speaker 3: I get her to stay? Or should I let her go? 512 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 3: Or what does she want and a lot of internal thoughts. 513 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,399 Speaker 3: There's one scene on the carousel that I think is 514 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 3: super cute where you could tell she like almost reached 515 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,640 Speaker 3: out to hold her hand and then didn't, but she's 516 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 3: trying to hold her there, and so she let's. 517 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:00,080 Speaker 2: She kind of. 518 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 3: Has this fight like, oh, you don't care about me, 519 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,880 Speaker 3: like leave whatever, I don't care I'm leaving, and then 520 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,480 Speaker 3: she says like, I'm your best friend. 521 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 2: If this is what you want, I'm gonna let you 522 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:12,920 Speaker 2: do it, like I let you go, you should. 523 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 3: Go, And then has this moment after they're dancing of 524 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,879 Speaker 3: like no, please stay, I ask you to stay, and 525 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,160 Speaker 3: Riley says yes, and then they say like, oh, we'll 526 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 3: figure it out together what it is, and it kind 527 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 3: of goes back to her fear of being alone, as 528 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:32,399 Speaker 3: she said. 529 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:33,880 Speaker 2: But one thing I also want to mention. 530 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 3: As I've told Smith, I've recently learned in the last episode, 531 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 3: they were watching this movie right and we didn't know 532 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:43,239 Speaker 3: what it was. 533 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 2: We were just were like whatever. 534 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 3: But it's called The Goodbye Girl and she leaves before 535 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,959 Speaker 3: the ending. And I haven't seen The Goodbye Girl, but 536 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 3: basically the plot is Richard Dreyfus's character comes into the 537 00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 3: lives of this woman and her daughter, and the woman 538 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 3: has had a lot of men come and go in 539 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 3: her life, and so the girl, the Goodbye Girl, has 540 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 3: really gotten used to people not staying around and is 541 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 3: expecting this guy to leave all the time. 542 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 2: And she. 543 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 3: In the end sort of learns like that goodbye doesn't 544 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 3: mean that's the end, or that that's it doesn't have 545 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 3: to be this horrible thing, and she leaves before she 546 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 3: sees the ending of it, so that I. 547 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:34,959 Speaker 2: Feel like that was very purposeful. 548 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 3: And this is one of the times where you kind 549 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 3: of see Ellie trying to say goodbye but then having 550 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 3: that fear of being alone. And then also this is 551 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 3: like her first crush, like this is the one person 552 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 3: she has. She's very isolated, and she doesn't want to 553 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 3: let this person go, and she asked her to stay, 554 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 3: and Rally. 555 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 2: Says yes, and then of course, because it's the. 556 00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: Last of us, I can't have nice things. 557 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 2: You can't, you can't. 558 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 3: They both get bitten, and then we get to see 559 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 3: the difference between how Ellie reacts, which, in the words 560 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 3: of Craignizing, the showrunner, is very dark and violent and angry, 561 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 3: versus how Riley reacts. And he says, that's because you know, 562 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 3: Riley has experienced loss and Ellie hasn't at this point, 563 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 3: or at least not to a degree where she can 564 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 3: really remember. 565 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 2: And so because really, I mean, she talked. 566 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 3: About like what happened with her parents and this feeling 567 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 3: of belonging wanting that back, and then you know, you 568 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 3: see them talk it through and like every second counts 569 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 3: and if I can be with you, I want to 570 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 3: be with you as long as I can be, Because 571 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 3: if you think about it, that was a big question 572 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 3: people had when we knew we had like Riley's name, 573 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 3: and we knew they got bitten at the same time 574 00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 3: in the first game. But they were like, well, so 575 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 3: why didn't they die or like why. 576 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 2: What how would this come about? Right? 577 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 3: And so the answer is that they have this like 578 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 3: packed where we're going to stay together as long as possible, 579 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 3: but that they both thought they were going to die, 580 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 3: like when they would have no reason not to think that. 581 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 3: And I guess that's another thing where I almost asked you. 582 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 2: About this before. 583 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 3: But apparently some people are arguing about whether or not 584 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 3: Riley dies. 585 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 2: Really she did? 586 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well she says it. 587 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 2: Yes, she said it in the first episode. 588 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, the very first episode. 589 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 2: Yes, But I guess some people don't pick up on it, but. 590 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,720 Speaker 1: I know I was. 591 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 2: I was like, literally like, well now do I what 592 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 2: do I do? But no, she dies, She's dead? 593 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 1: She did, Like, sorry, she really did. 594 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 2: They said it in the first episode. 595 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure they like when she in six when 596 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 3: Ellie's like, I've lost people too, that's she was talking 597 00:31:55,880 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 3: about Riley. And Riley does hangover all of the show, 598 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 3: so's not that's not the end of her. But it 599 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 3: is certainly, like I said, that building of tension, because 600 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 3: when you're playing it, you know. 601 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 2: That that's how it ends. It was very very moving. 602 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 3: It was very very sad Samantha had to get us tissues, 603 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 3: me and my friend Katie. I think it was sadder 604 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 3: than the game because in the game, it's less it's 605 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 3: the same conversation, but they're more like tired. They're kind 606 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 3: of more like, well, here's what we do. And it 607 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 3: does cut away before you see them die, which it 608 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 3: did in the show, but in the show it was 609 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 3: just kind of I think they they made it more emotional. 610 00:32:55,440 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 3: So Riley's death does hang over Elliott. It has shaped 611 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 3: her worldview. It is this treumatic event or somebody she 612 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 3: cared for, had this crush on, maybe loved died and 613 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,040 Speaker 3: they thought they were going to die together and she 614 00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:20,880 Speaker 3: they didn't. Because Ellie survives this whole thing, and so 615 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 3: this is part of her survivor's guilt where every time 616 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 3: someone she loves dies, and even not even someone she loves, 617 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 3: every time somebody dies, she has a guilt about it 618 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 3: because she didn't. So you see that with Joel after 619 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,400 Speaker 3: she flashes back to what is going on because she 620 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 3: is opening door and she's thinking about leaving it, and 621 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 3: she's remembering what Riley did for her and how Riley 622 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:47,240 Speaker 3: stayed there and didn't let her die or kill herself, 623 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 3: like held her hand, and so she's remembering all of that. 624 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:53,760 Speaker 2: But it is like one of the. 625 00:33:53,600 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 3: Biggest shaping events for Ellie something that she just just 626 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,160 Speaker 3: hangs over and like, like I said, when you plays her, 627 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 3: you look in the backpack and she just has all 628 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,480 Speaker 3: of these like she still has the Firefight London, she 629 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,759 Speaker 3: has the pun Book, she has all these things. You know, 630 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 3: it hasn't been that long at this point, like maybe 631 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,360 Speaker 3: a couple of months, but I did want to shout 632 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 3: out storm Read who nailed that performance amazing. 633 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:21,480 Speaker 2: Was so good. 634 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:27,040 Speaker 3: Yes, and like honestly like she made it her own, 635 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 3: but was exactly like the characterization in the game, so good. 636 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 3: And she's already spoken out about like the review bombing 637 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 3: the response, and it's been like, I back up what 638 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 3: Bella Ramsey said. If that's what you're worried about, you 639 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 3: need to straighten up your priorities. Yes, agreed, Yeah, uh huh. 640 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:50,279 Speaker 3: Something else I wanted to touch on briefly is I 641 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,160 Speaker 3: think and I'm gonna have a lot of thoughts about 642 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 3: this in the last episode that we do, but they 643 00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,440 Speaker 3: are they're definitely setting up fedro versus Five Flies in 644 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:01,960 Speaker 3: a way that they did it in the game, or 645 00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 3: at least not as in depth because that was always there, 646 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 3: but they've they've really built it up and that's all 647 00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:14,960 Speaker 3: we'll say. And also, I did I think they had 648 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 3: that kind of chilling comparison to Kansas City when Riley's like, 649 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,480 Speaker 3: when if we, you know, free this place and we 650 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:24,279 Speaker 3: take over, it'd be so much better. And then we 651 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:28,200 Speaker 3: saw what happened in Kansas City when that happened, and 652 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,880 Speaker 3: that that you know, that's not necessarily to say that 653 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,440 Speaker 3: would have happened here, but it was kind of I 654 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:38,400 Speaker 3: think a chilling pointed comparison. Something else I wanted to 655 00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,080 Speaker 3: talk about, and I'm going to talk about very briefly 656 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:43,719 Speaker 3: too because no spoilers, but I will say I didn't 657 00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 3: mention this in the last one, but Joel's injury. He 658 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:53,920 Speaker 3: falls on a pipe and gets stamped through, and it's 659 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:55,680 Speaker 3: a really cool scene where. 660 00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,280 Speaker 2: I mean, it's very upsetting, but it's. 661 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 3: Very cool where Ellie's like taking charge and having to 662 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,520 Speaker 3: lead him out and he's kind of passing out, so 663 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:08,920 Speaker 3: it's a different injury. Also, Joel's anxiety medication. I didn't 664 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,239 Speaker 3: know this, but they added that into the remake so 665 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 3: you can see it before the pandemic, before the outbreak. 666 00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:18,359 Speaker 3: It's on his bedside table, So I guess they kind 667 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,799 Speaker 3: of did that as a nod as to. 668 00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:21,400 Speaker 2: What was coming. 669 00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:25,120 Speaker 3: But there's been a lot of articles about it about like, oh, 670 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,759 Speaker 3: this is exactly like that's how anxiety feels to me, 671 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 3: kind of like your heart stopping, it hit suddenly whenever, 672 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,080 Speaker 3: and all this stuff. So that's interesting. As I mentioned 673 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,600 Speaker 3: in our recent Daddy episode, there's also been a lot 674 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:40,080 Speaker 3: of articles about single parent based on this and something 675 00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,399 Speaker 3: we'll have to come back to that. I have seen 676 00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,200 Speaker 3: a lot of stuff written lately about Bella Ramsay's comments 677 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,640 Speaker 3: about chest binding, because I think she said she spent 678 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:53,000 Speaker 3: ninety percent of this with chest binding filming, and she 679 00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:54,399 Speaker 3: was talking about like how you need to do. 680 00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:55,960 Speaker 2: That safely and all that stuff. But there's been a 681 00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:57,600 Speaker 2: lot of conversation about that. 682 00:36:58,360 --> 00:36:58,920 Speaker 1: Interesting. 683 00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:03,880 Speaker 3: Yes, so what is to com And honestly, this one's 684 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,640 Speaker 3: I'm no spoilers here, even if you've seen the trailer, 685 00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,920 Speaker 3: I want to tell you scary stuff is coming. I 686 00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:13,560 Speaker 3: think it's the scariest part of the game, but that's 687 00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:17,280 Speaker 3: up for interpretation as always and debates. I was wondering 688 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,560 Speaker 3: if they're going to put the infamous rabbit scene in there, 689 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:20,520 Speaker 3: and I don't think they are. 690 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:21,680 Speaker 2: I don't think they are. 691 00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:22,440 Speaker 1: We were waiting. 692 00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,560 Speaker 2: I don't think they can. I've thought about it, of 693 00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:26,080 Speaker 2: course I have. 694 00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:30,239 Speaker 3: Well, technically I'm trying to figure out how they would 695 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:30,560 Speaker 3: do it. 696 00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,680 Speaker 2: Everyone who doesn't know it's like what you're talking about. 697 00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:38,919 Speaker 1: This as an insight, yes between us, not not y'all 698 00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,520 Speaker 1: who have not seen what's going on. I don't know. 699 00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:43,319 Speaker 1: I think they still have time. That's technically we don't 700 00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,160 Speaker 1: know how Joel is doing and they're going to be 701 00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:45,440 Speaker 1: in that. 702 00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:49,960 Speaker 3: Uh no, I mean stuck for a while. I agree, 703 00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:53,120 Speaker 3: but I don't know.
