11
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 3: Apple TV Plus series murder Bot, which is rather charming

12
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 3: but bust. We are gonna talk about the most anticipated

13
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 3: TV series of the summer and how we are feeling

14
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 3: about them.

15
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: Let's get into it. Okay, television ever heard of it?

16
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: Ever heard of it? Peak TV? Listen. We might be

17
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: towards the end, if not at the end of the

18
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 1: peak TV era, transitioning to a different era. What that

19
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 1: era will be remains to be seen. But stress tag,

20
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 1: lots of stress TV TEVE, lots of great TV coming

21
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: down the pipe, lots of TV has just left us.

22
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: We're going to be rating our excitement levels for some

23
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: upcoming television properties, as well as talking about some of

24
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: our personal favorites that maybe don't fit into the cookie

25
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: cutter or a general frame of nerd stuff. But first,

26
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: let's talk about some of the TV that we've just

27
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: finished watching that led us to this season, that has

28
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: led us to this moment of twenty twenty five upcoming television.

29
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: Let's start with andor, which is great. Guys, it's hey,

30
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: spoiler alert, it's I think we're both in agreement that

31
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: this is some of the best Star Wars we've ever seen.

32
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: No Ques, do you think it enters the conversation of

33
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: like all time great television? Would you put it in

34
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:13,519
Speaker 1: that conversation?

35
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 3: I think as a whole series, season one, season two together.

36
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 3: I think you could hand that off and recommend that

37
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 3: to most TV viewers who are not necessarily into specifically

38
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 3: sci fi or star wars and say to them, Hey,

39
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 3: do you like sopranos, Do you like mad Men? Do

40
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 3: you like stories that are about like one person in

41
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 3: an unusual situation that you will, you know, follow them

42
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 3: on this journey? And do you like political thrillers? Do

43
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 3: you like sixties French cinema? I think that you could

44
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 3: sell it as a great example of prestige TV. I

45
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 3: think it's a little bit of a harder sell because

46
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 3: for some people they feel like Star Wars is homework.

47
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 3: I don't feel like and or makes you do that.

48
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 3: And I do think it can. I do think it

49
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 3: will continue to be in the conversations of the best

50
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 3: TV shows ever made.

51
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think if you listen, Star Wars nineteen seventy

52
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: seven is a New Hope. Is a movie that I

53
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 1: feel like, legitimately everyone has seen. I think we all

54
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: assume that people have seen Star Wars.

55
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 2: And I think to talk about.

56
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 1: And I think if you've only seen nineteen seventy seven's

57
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: a New Hope, or you know the updated the various

58
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: updated versions, then I think you can go into and

59
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: or knowing pretty much all you need to know. But

60
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I think that it's I don't

61
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: think it's like a best TV ever conversation show, but

62
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: I think it's in that second tier of shows where

63
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: it's an excellent show, like a really excellent show that

64
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: has a chance to meet a wider audience. Yeah, I

65
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: agree with you. I think if you put this in

66
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: front of somebody who's only who only knows Star Wars

67
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: or even the original trilogy, they'd be like, oh, wow,

68
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: this is really good, much in the same way that

69
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: The Penguin is a show that you don't have to

70
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: be a Batman Family great show to love truly.

71
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 3: I do think as well that there's an interesting this

72
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 3: is the kind of interesting crossover point that we're in

73
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 3: now where a lot of the greatest TV shows of

74
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 3: all time that you'd see on your Rolling Stone list

75
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 3: or your Vultualist have for a long time not necessarily

76
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 3: been adapting another IP or expanding it. But we are

77
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 3: now in a situation where a lot of the TV

78
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 3: where the money is going is coming from adapting or

79
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 3: expanding a IP world like comic books or Star Wars

80
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 3: or something like that. So I also think that that

81
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 3: is a shift. Do people want to be in these

82
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 3: worlds or do people want you know, original TV like

83
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 3: Mad Men, like The Sopranos that kind of expand on

84
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 3: a world in a different way, because you know, nowadays,

85
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 3: if they made the Sopranos, it would be a Godfather

86
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 3: spin off, which we actually did get, but it was

87
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 3: about to make of Godfather. So I think that is

88
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 3: an interesting cultural crossroads that we're at and I think

89
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 3: for some people it works, for some people it doesn't.

90
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 3: But I do think that and Or is one of

91
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 3: the best examples of a show like that that we have,

92
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 3: and I think it will end up in that If

93
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 3: you're doing one hundred best TV shows of all time,

94
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 3: I think the next I think it's going to be

95
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 3: in that top fifty at the higher end.

96
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, because I'm a big like

97
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: format and structuring nerd in terms of how we make

98
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: these decisions, how do you classify a show like and Or,

99
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: or even The Penguin that is more of a limited

100
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: It's different than Breaking Bad, which was an ongoing show.

101
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: It's different than Game of Rounds was an ongoing show.

102
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 1: It's more like Chernobyl in that it was a limited series.

103
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 1: So how do you do you judge something like and

104
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: Or The Penguin differently? Do you put it in a

105
00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 1: different category?

106
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 3: I think that is a conversation that we're going to

107
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 3: have to keep having. And I do think that the

108
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 3: fact that award shows already specify and award those shows

109
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 3: differently hints that structurally there is something there. But I

110
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 3: would also say I do think that it serves those

111
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 3: shows well, because say something like The Penguin, where we

112
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 3: will likely never get a second season and instead we

113
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 3: will get other spinoffs. That is basically a perfect season,

114
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 3: Like they don't really make any mistakes. Emotionally, we might

115
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 3: have disagreed with some of the choices they make, but

116
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 3: then something like Game of Thrones you have to take

117
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 3: into consideration the entirety of the show, and then your

118
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 3: odds and the kind of consistency of the show, it

119
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 3: becomes more questionable. So I think that there is an

120
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 3: interesting conversation, and I think that in the era that

121
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 3: we're in now, I wouldn't be surprised if we start

122
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 3: seeing those lists where it's like best fifty mini series

123
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 3: of all time, you know, best limited series.

124
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: Ye Rosie off the Dome, your top four television shows

125
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 1: all time, best hour long prestige TV top four. Okay,

126
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: don't mean it, Okay, I would mind fucking boring as shit.

127
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: I mean it's like in no order, here's the ones

128
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: I watch all the time exactly that. I mean, it's

129
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: like Succession, dead Wood. Oh, I love that show, Breaking Bad,

130
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: you know The Wire. That's a very very boring list.

131
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 3: I think, No, no, no, I think that's really good. I'm

132
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 3: definitely I would agree with you. I'm coming in with

133
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 3: the Wire is there. I love that show so much.

134
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 3: I can go back and rewatch any episodes. I love

135
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 3: to tell people to rewatch it.

136
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: I think it is what a mad Men also on

137
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: the list, I know.

138
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I will add for me, I think Better Cool

139
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,119
Speaker 3: Soul is on there. I think that show is like unbelievable,

140
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 3: and I think it shouldn't be good and it's great.

141
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 3: It's it's it's so much bad than it should It's

142
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 3: got unblievable cast.

143
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: I also Hannibal is on there.

144
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 3: For me, I think it's kind of unbelievable that that

145
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 3: show was made for broadcast TV. And I will say

146
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 3: that I do have a newer addition that I think

147
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 3: in the future will kind of looked back on as

148
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 3: like a contemporary X Files. I'm putting Evil on there.

149
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 3: I think the show is like so fucking good, and

150
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 3: if you watch it from the beginning, you get from

151
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 3: the beginning to the end of that first to the

152
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 3: four seasons that they made. It is such a satisfying show.

153
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 3: It has a puzzle box mystery that gets solved, it

154
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 3: has humor, it has horror. It has like devastating emotional

155
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 3: lows and incredible emotional highs. The cast is funny, it's

156
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 3: super weird, and it's kind of I think in that

157
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 3: Hannibal Slash X Files space, where like it shouldn't have

158
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 3: been able to have a crossover like it did, but

159
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 3: it did. And if CBS had not moved it to

160
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 3: their streaming channel because they wanted to add more people there,

161
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,719
Speaker 3: it would have continued to be the biggest show on

162
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 3: network television, which is what the first season was. And

163
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 3: also I think this doesn't even touch on another conversation,

164
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 3: which is like streaming, because like some people their favorite

165
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 3: show ever is Queen's Gambit, you know, And I think,

166
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 3: like for me, if we're talking about and this is

167
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 3: kind of recency bias, but like currently I love House

168
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 3: of the Dragons so much that that might be like

169
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 3: edging out Game of Thrones for me, Like there's so

170
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,719
Speaker 3: many different conversations to be had, and also what then

171
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,319
Speaker 3: do you do about show like House of the Dragon

172
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 3: which doesn't exist without Game of Thrones?

173
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: So can it really be the better show?

174
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 3: But I love the version of it that they did,

175
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 3: so yeah, I think it's very interesting because Also, we

176
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 3: are in an era of high quality, highs capacity, Like

177
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 3: there's a lot of TV coming out, a lot of

178
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 3: content like for example, Severance.

179
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 2: I think for a lot of people, it's in the

180
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 2: top ten right now, you know.

181
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: I think that it I think it's it's revitalized the

182
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 1: puzzle box genre, which I think was kind of moribund recently,

183
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: or at least a lot it.

184
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 3: Had been struggling to contain a lot of small season Yes,

185
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 3: it was certainly a lot smaller.

186
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 1: You know, It's like there's been other shows like Dark

187
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 1: for instance, that have gone there.

188
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 3: Yellow Jackets, but also like didn't necessarily deliver or have

189
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 3: the same reach.

190
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: Severance has a I mean, it captured the zeitgeist in

191
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: a way that we haven't seen a show do in

192
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: a while, and it did it pretty organically.

193
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 2: It's a huge hit too.

194
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, as a huge hit on a you know, shouts

195
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: to them, they're spending oodles and oodles of money. But

196
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: really in the in the landscape, a minor streamer, like,

197
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 1: not a big platform. So one of the coolest things

198
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: to watch happened. It was the rise in sudden popular

199
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,319
Speaker 1: of Severance in the way it took over the conversation

200
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: is unique. We haven't seen shit like that a little while.

201
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 3: And also I'm very interested because I can't wait in

202
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 3: five years, you know, when I'm brewing, We'll all still be.

203
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: Here, guys.

204
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 3: But like, does Severance still have that emotional connection to people?

205
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 2: Do people still see it as one of the best

206
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 2: shows of all time? Or was it like uniquely.

207
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 3: Perfectly made for this moment when everyone's feeling isolated, when

208
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 3: everyone's feeling the pressures of capitalism. Like, I'm very interested

209
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 3: to kind of see how that goes. But it is

210
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 3: interesting to compare something like Severance, which has these two

211
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 3: really solid seasons that are very very you know, feels

212
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 3: very consistent, feels like quality wise. By the end of it,

213
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 3: most people were feeling like, yeah, this is like I'm

214
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 3: still in Let's go then to something like Last of Us,

215
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 3: where we had first season generally seen as one of

216
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 3: I would say, like one of the best TV shows

217
00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 3: over the last ten years. Season two definitely more in consistent,

218
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 3: definitely kind of I would say, there is a lot

219
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 3: of annoying this course about it that we've kind of

220
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 3: tried to not even take into consideration, but there's also

221
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 3: a lot of real conversation.

222
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: About the way it is and isn't working for people.

223
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 1: The thing that's fascinating to me about the second season

224
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 1: of The Last of Us is this is unquestionably like, objectively,

225
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: this show is good. It's well made, it's well written,

226
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: it's well acted, great great costs. But I also think

227
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 1: to your point, almost everyone you talk to about it

228
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: has some level of critique about yeah, the length, the pacing,

229
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: whatever it may be. And I think that leads to

230
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 1: an overall feeling of a show that is was panned

231
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: more than it really was. Like, again, this is a

232
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 1: very good show.

233
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 3: It's the you've set the bar so high for the

234
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,199
Speaker 3: first season that it's kind of hard to follow it up.

235
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 1: It's the it's the.

236
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 3: Iconic kind of idea of a sophomore slamp or the

237
00:12:58,760 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 3: fear of adapting.

238
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 2: I also think for our.

239
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 3: Next TV episode, because I'm realizing we have so many

240
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 3: great things to talk about here.

241
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: You both watched we watch too much.

242
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I'm also thinking like about the fact that

243
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 3: there is an interesting argument about the time that we

244
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 3: are in right now, where fifteen years ago, if you

245
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 3: made like a perfect first season of TV, they.

246
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: Might just leave it.

247
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 2: They might just be like, guys, you adapted the game.

248
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: The game was a massive hit. They might not immediately

249
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: be like.

250
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 2: When is season two? When's the adaptation of the game.

251
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 3: And I think that because of the nature of the

252
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 3: way that corporations see R and TV and films and

253
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 3: everything under this kind of broad banner of like content,

254
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 3: that can sometimes push out these ideas and force a

255
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 3: quicker turnaround or a turnaround at all. And I think

256
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 3: there's an interesting conversation to talk about there as well,

257
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 3: because I also am a fan of like again another

258
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 3: thing that we could definitely put us it's own segment.

259
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 3: But I love like a perfect season of TV, just

260
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 3: one who doesn't know the Watchmen.

261
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 4: Like, uh, that's one of the biggest the BBC Office,

262
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 4: Oh my god, the BBC Office when it like, I

263
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 4: agree with you, Watchman is another one perfect season of television.

264
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: Don't do anything else. Those two for me are like,

265
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: you know, I remember when I first you know on

266
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: BBC America watch the original BBC Office. I was like, wow, Well.

267
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 3: Also in England, we didn't know any of the people

268
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 3: when it came out, even Rickey Gerbay's was not known,

269
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 3: so like it had that great pre internet early Internet

270
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 3: kind of Blair Witch almost feeling of like is it real?

271
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: Like is this could this guy be that person? You know?

272
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 3: And I love like a perfect one season of TV

273
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 3: and like, you know, Freaks and Geeks.

274
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 2: That's another one where I'm just like, I.

275
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 3: Love that show hy Fidelity. I fucking love that show

276
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 3: with Zoe Kravitz. I'm like, Hulu, actually, please do bring

277
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 3: that one back, like I've been asking for a long time.

278
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 3: But I think it's interesting because I will tell you

279
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 3: a show for me that if it didn't have another

280
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 3: season that just came out. I think what I would

281
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 3: say is a perfect TV season of TV is The

282
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 3: Studio and they already announced season two, and I'm like,

283
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 3: maybe don't do it, guys, Like this.

284
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: Is so perfect. Folks, if you have not watched The Studio,

285
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: maybe you don't have Apple TV. Plus, we've talked about

286
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: how easy it is to get up, very easy. You

287
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: can get it for free right now, right now. The

288
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: subscriptions are falling off the back of trucks christ like

289
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: old school newspaper delivery. It is. It was such a

290
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: wonderful joy in my weekly television watching schedule. It had

291
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: been a little while since I had a show that

292
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: hit that sweet spot for me where I know I

293
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna be stressed. Yeah, then a real in a

294
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: significant way watching I was gonna enjoy it and I

295
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: was gonna uh laugh and see things that I wasn't

296
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: gonna see anywhere else. And the studio is like that

297
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: for me. I at first, I was worried. You know,

298
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: we live in la we know. You know, I just

299
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: had a conversation with our mutual friend Kenny, who is

300
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: you know, a former agent of the businesses like I can't.

301
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: I was talking to him yesterday and he's like Jason,

302
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: everybody in the studio, those are like real people. That's

303
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: what these conversations were us. I was worried, like it

304
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: was going to be too niche. It's it's just so

305
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: much fun, and it's fun in a curb your enthusiasm

306
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: way where you're watching a guy and a bunch of

307
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: people just like step On Rakes in the most entertaining way.

308
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: It doesn't take itself too seriously, which I think is necessary.

309
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: And it's got some of the greatest cameos maybe in

310
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: the history of television already.

311
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 3: Just the first episode. If you watch that and you

312
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 3: see who the big cameo is, who is part of

313
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 3: the major plotline of the show. You will go, oh,

314
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 3: I understand, like this is a different level of there

315
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 3: is a conversation clearly that was had when they were

316
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 3: making this show.

317
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 2: This is Rosie's fan pic.

318
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 3: But my general idea, I know people who've sold shows,

319
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,479
Speaker 3: I know people who have bought shows. I feel like

320
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 3: this script was probably going around with you know then

321
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 3: that made by Seth Rogan, and I feel like everyone's

322
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,479
Speaker 3: agent was probably hearing about the show and being like,

323
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 3: this is the show you want to get your person into.

324
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 3: Because the car, the cameos are amazing. The writing is

325
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 3: so good, it's so funny. It is definitely very relatable

326
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:40,959
Speaker 3: if you are in LA, but if you're not, it

327
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 3: basically is all your expectations of how you think LA is.

328
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 3: So I like that it appeals to people there in

329
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 3: a way that feels recognizable.

330
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,679
Speaker 2: Our Discord loves it. It is so funny.

331
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 3: And the way that they build in unbelievable cinematography. Every

332
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 3: single shot in the show is a wanner. And there

333
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 3: is an episode where the whole episode is Wona and

334
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 3: it's called the Wanner and it's about them trying to

335
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 3: make a wanna in a film on the same day.

336
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 2: It's some of the most.

337
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 3: Technically incredible TV making that you will ever see.

338
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: And it's also a lot of.

339
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 3: It is done very simply, which I love. I just

340
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 3: I was blown away by it. I thought that the

341
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 3: final two episodes where they go to cinema kon to bond,

342
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 3: it's some of the funniest shit you've ever seen.

343
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 2: And it's also like Babylon and it's like cub your.

344
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 3: Enthusiasm and it's just so funny, and the costing is incredible,

345
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 3: and yeah, I think that.

346
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 2: To me, I would be like, never do a second season.

347
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: But if you can keep up that quality, please do

348
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 1: it well, please do it. They are keep proved it,

349
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: it's happening. Keep throwing money. It's it's good creators, creators

350
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: like like Rogan, who I think will go down. We've

351
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: talked about it before, but it's underrated. Actually, the project,

352
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 1: the amount of pressure. Okay, do you have any with

353
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: fames that maybe don't fit into like any of the

354
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: easy boxes stuff that you've can watch it.

355
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 3: The really we touched about, We touched on it, We

356
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 3: talked about it before the pit I think again That's

357
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 3: another show where it's like perfectly mas stress stress that. Honestly,

358
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 3: there's episodes of the Studio where I was stressed, but

359
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 3: only because I'd been on set.

360
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, please don't do this.

361
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: I mean. The Pit is a show that we had

362
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: a rule in the household that like, it's you can't

363
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: watch it in the hour before bed.

364
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 3: No, it's you can't, it's.

365
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: The sunlight has to still be in the sky. One

366
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: we haven't gotten to talk about a.

367
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 3: Lot that I have been loving and hopefully we'll be

368
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 3: doing some cool stuff with then they lead up to

369
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 3: San Diego Comic Con, and stuff is Sakamoto Days, which

370
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 3: is a Netflix anime about an assassin who falls in

371
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 3: love and then becomes like a chubby seven eleven like

372
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 3: convenience store owner. It's like a food anime. It's an

373
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 3: action anime. The manga is really good, and I just

374
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 3: think it's so much fun. Everyone I've recommended it to

375
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 3: has loved it, and I think that that it will

376
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 3: end up on a few of the best of lists

377
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 3: at the end of the year. How about you, Is

378
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 3: there any shows we haven't talked about that you've really

379
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 3: loved this year?

380
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: You know, I'm a big fan of For me TV,

381
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,719
Speaker 1: everything doesn't need to be the best thing ever. I

382
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: like I like a I like a well made, watchable

383
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:31,439
Speaker 1: show with people I like in it. I really enjoyed

384
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 1: Your Friends and Neighbors. It's very much it's very much

385
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: TV plus Apple TV plus. It's very where Jon Hamm

386
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: seems to live now. Uh you know, catch him on

387
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 1: The Morning Show and other crazy soapy But Your Friends

388
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 1: and Neighbors is like a very elevated soap with a

389
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 1: hard crime twist towards the end. John ham is wonderful

390
00:20:55,760 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 1: playing with your preconceived notions of him through Madmen and

391
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 1: as a pitchman for luxury items like his work with Mercedes,

392
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: And he's playing with all those those things, and the

393
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: show is playing with those things too, I think wonderful effect.

394
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: It's just like a very watchable.

395
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 3: I love a good well one of the most. I'm

396
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 3: a big rewatcher. That's the funniest thing about me doing

397
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,880
Speaker 3: this job. That's why my first answer to best TV

398
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 3: show was fucking Colombo or Annibal, shows that have not

399
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 3: been on air for like twenty years at this point.

400
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 3: But yeah, I love that pick. I think it's great.

401
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 3: I'm a big.

402
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 2: I think it fits into that kind of like it's

403
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 2: not cozy crime, but it's not.

404
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 1: Stressed t TV.

405
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 3: If you can enjoy being in this fancy, rich people world,

406
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 3: but there's a twist to it that you wouldn't necessarily expect.

407
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 1: It's like more engaging and smarter than second screen level viewing,

408
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: but it's not like challenging you in the way that like,

409
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 1: you know, a succession or a really high you know,

410
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:04,479
Speaker 1: like a high level hour long drama. Is this is

411
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 1: streaming's version of an ABC show on a like Thursday

412
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: night or yeah, yeah, exactly, and it's honestly, yeah, it's

413
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: really good.

414
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 3: Again, that great cast, great money from Apple is paying

415
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,919
Speaker 3: for a quality level that we weren't always getting, and

416
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 3: I thought that one was really fun.

417
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 2: Our Discord also big fan of that show.

418
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 3: Also, there's tons of great shows on Netflix that fit

419
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:32,640
Speaker 3: into that that are kind of like British crime adaptations

420
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 3: that they bring over or co productions between the BBC

421
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 3: and Netflix where they exist not on Netflix in England,

422
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 3: and then they exist things like you know Bodyguard that

423
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 3: was an older one.

424
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 2: But I thought that was really really good.

425
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 3: I recently watched a great British Oh Obviously we talked

426
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 3: about adolescents that is stressed to TV. But what I

427
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 3: have been really enjoying is they have been doing co

428
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 3: productions with the BBC that are Harlan Coben, the mystery author.

429
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 3: They have been adapting his books into mini series and

430
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 3: there was a great one I watched called for Me Once,

431
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,199
Speaker 3: another one called Missing You, and one called Safe and

432
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 3: those are very much in that kind of space of

433
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,479
Speaker 3: like it's gonna hook you, You're gonna want to watch it,

434
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 3: but it's not gonna challenge you like Succession the wit

435
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,199
Speaker 3: and banter is not necessarily gonna be that dense, but

436
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 3: you're still gonna be really engaged. And I think that

437
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 3: is one of the things I do love about the

438
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 3: way streaming is right now is we are getting access.

439
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,919
Speaker 2: To more TV from around the world, more different.

440
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 3: Kinds of TV, these sub genres and spaces that we

441
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 3: would align stuff as happened to us when we were

442
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 3: talking about our favorite TV of the year. It's kind

443
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 3: of consistently fracturing and growing as like a web. So

444
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 3: there's just so many kind of great shows that you

445
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,360
Speaker 3: can just put on. But honestly, the show I watch

446
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,959
Speaker 3: most of just murder, she wrote, which is like the funny,

447
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 3: but she is so good. It looks good. It's funny,

448
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 3: it's not Colombo. I will get too hooked. I can't

449
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 3: have that on while I work. Murder, she wrote, I

450
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:13,360
Speaker 3: know what Jessica's doing, going somewhere being nosy, causing some murders.

451
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: It looks good.

452
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 3: She's wearing a cool jumper. I can work while I

453
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 3: do it. But even Colombo like it's too eye quality.

454
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 1: I can't put it.

455
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 3: On while I work because you just start watching it

456
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 3: like to engage.

457
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: Okay, let's take a quick break and we'll come back

458
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: and talk about our the upcoming shows that we're excited about,

459
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: which we will rank out of five remote controls. And

460
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 1: we're right. Okay, let's start rankings for upcoming television shows.

461
00:24:55,920 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: One remote control being completely lacking in any kind of

462
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 1: excitement for us. We are not reaching for that remote control.

463
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: Five remote controls being the maximum excitement. You were going

464
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 1: to have to hold me back to keep me from

465
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: that remote.

466
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 3: Every single you got the remote for the good speakers,

467
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,560

471
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 1: the actual historical Gilded Age, when capitalism is booming, the

Speaker 1: late Industrial ages booming, and massive amounts of money are

Speaker 1: Kerrie Coon, Mortgan Spector, Luisa Jacobson, Christiansky, The Wonderful Christine Baranski.

476
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 1: Season three coming up soon. Following the crescendo of the

477
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 1: Opera War Ins the season two finale, the old guard

478
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,199
Speaker 1: of old money New Yorkers, like Christine Baranski's Agnes van

479
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: Rin and Donna Murphy's Missus Astor, has been weakened, and

480
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 1: the Russells carry Coons in Domino, Bertha and Morgan, Spectors,

481
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: Stowett George standpoise to take their place at the top

482
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: of society. You're ranking solid.

483
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 3: This is a solid three out of five for me,

484
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,640
Speaker 3: not because for me, not because I don't really enjoy

485
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 3: the show, which I do, But like we said, we're

486
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 3: in so many great there, We're in an era of

487
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 3: so much great TV that this is like definitely in

488
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,439
Speaker 3: the middle. But The quality is great if you really

489
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 3: enjoyed Netflix's Bridgeton, but you want a version that is

490
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 3: more steeped in like a real historical era and has

491
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 3: a little bit more to say, but it's still really

492
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 3: soapy and doesn't have as much anachronistic like musical choices

493
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 3: and stuff like that. This is a great next step

494
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 3: post Bridgington. Not that romance based, but there are little

495
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 3: bits of romance. The thing I'm actually most excited about

496
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 3: with this is very underrated actor who is a hilarious,

497
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 3: hilarious comedic star of the MCU, Leslie Ugghams, who plays

498
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:21,919
Speaker 3: Deadpool's blind best friend and roommate blind Out. She is

499
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 3: coming in as like a friend of Felicia Richard's character,

500
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:29,199
Speaker 3: Elizabeth Kirklin. She's gonna be called missus Ernestine Brown. I

501
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 3: am so interested to see her playlist because I think

502
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 3: she is a I don't think those dead Pool movies

503
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 3: are as popular without her because she's so good. She's

504
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 3: so funny, she drops some of the most outrageous lines,

505
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 3: and I really want to see her in this kind

506
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 3: of prestige TV period peace World, and obviously, who doesn't

507
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 3: love Felicia Richard. I want her to have a new friend.

508
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 3: But yeah, I'm interested. I mean, what a cast.

509
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: And I would say.

510
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 3: Also that you know what this is great for if

511
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 3: you have like your mom over or your parents over the.

512
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: Family members, this is a great.

513
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 3: We should watch this while we you know, snack or

514
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 3: wait to go out or whatever, you want to watch

515
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 3: something in the evening. This is a great family acceptable

516
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 3: TV watch.

517
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 1: I am also going to go with three out of

518
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: five I agree with you. This is my mom loves things,

519
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 1: in her words, that are real stories, which by which

520
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: she means, you know, set in an actual historical period

521
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: that aren't things like bridgershin Or They're great, which are

522
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: kind of only softly set in those esthetically modern set

523
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: in those periods, but with a lot of more kind

524
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: of modern speech and production kind of approaches. Yeah, I'm

525
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: this is a very soapy show, but wonderfully so. And

526
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: I've just started season one about halfway through, and I'm

527
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: enjoying it. It's a great show to have on and

528
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: it's really well done. I'm going to put it at

529
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: three remote controls up next June twenty fourth on Disney Plus.

530
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: Iron Heart, the somewhat surprisingly dropping on us in only

531
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: a few weeks. Iron Heart, set after the events of

532
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: Black Panther were kind of forever, Marvel Television's Iron Heart

533
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: pits technology against magic when Rary Williams played by Dominic Thorne,

534
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: a young genius inventor determined to make her mark on

535
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: the world, returns to her hometown of Chicago. Her unique

536
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: take on building iron suits is brilliant, but in pursuit

537
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: of hair ambitions, she finds herself wrapped up with the

538
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: mysterious yet charming Parkerk Robbins Ak eight The Hood played

539
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: by Tomy Ramos. Your remote control rating, I'm giving it

540
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: a four, hoping.

541
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 3: I'm hoping that it could be a hopeful, hopeful for

542
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 3: We had a great chat with Sam Bailey, one of

543
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 3: the directors. I felt like she was just very much

544
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 3: on our level, enjoyed the same things that we love

545
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 3: about this Ebewing obviously a friend of the pod. We

546
00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 3: think she's amazing, definitely very heavily influent on this show

547
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 3: and her run of the comics are I'm interested to

548
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 3: see this version of the Hood played by Anthony Raymos, Like,

549
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 3: are they really bringing magic in?

550
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 2: Is it going to be more that he uses Teka's magic?

551
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 3: Kind of like we saw with Mysterio in the Sony

552
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 3: Spider Man movies. I think there's a lot here that

553
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 3: could be really interesting. It's promising to be a little

554
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 3: bit darker. It's promising to be a little bit more

555
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 3: of that kind of you know, teen to early twenties

556
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 3: coming of age, which has been a big critique of

557
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 3: the MCU with characters like America Chavez. Yeah, making them

558
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 3: a little bit younger, giving them that more classic coming

559
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 3: of age. It's gonna be interesting and nice to maybe

560
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 3: see a little bit of that messiness. And also, if

561
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 3: it's done well, could set us up for where we

562
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 3: could see I think that the Tom Holland Spider Man

563
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 3: now living on his own in his own apartment in

564
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 3: his early twenties, we are going to get more of

565
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 3: that messy kind of young adulthood in the MCU going forward.

566
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 3: So I think this could be a great spot. I

567
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 3: think to Dominique Thorn is amazing. I think she absolutely

568
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 3: deserves this show.

569
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: And yeah, I'm giving it. I'm giving it a solid

570
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: four because I'm.

571
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 3: Feeling hopeful and I really do love the character of

572
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 3: Iron Hawk.

573
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: I am gonna give it a solid three. I'm like

574
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: you in my heart I'm a hopeful four. The rollout

575
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 1: has me concerned. It's not that not that Disney is

576
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: trying to necessarily bury the show, but theyre appear to

577
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: be throwing it out there, kind of like saying, hey, fight,

578
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: good luck, and I hope you find your audience, but

579
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: we're not gonna throw a bunch of stuff behind this.

580
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 1: So that could either mean that A one, they're trying

581
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 1: to avoid all conversations about it. I think that. I

582
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 1: think they're trying to avoid early conversations about it, and

583
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 1: that either means they are not proud of it or

584
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 1: they just don't want to deal with the conversations around it.

585
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: I'm going to give it a three, but I'm a

586
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: hopeful four in my heart. Let me quick stop. I

587
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 1: realized I should have been reading these the little synopsies,

588
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna read this and put this in my

589
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: preamble before Rosie starts talking. All right. Up next June

590
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: twenty fifth, on Hulu, it's season four of The Bear.

591
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: How are they making it so quickly? I gotta say,

592
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: it feels to me. I was about to say, it

593
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 1: feels like The Bear is legitimately always on television. Here's

594
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: the synopsis. With new challenges around every corner, the team

595
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: must adapt, adjust, and overcome. Yes, Yes, this season the

596
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: pursuit of excellence is it just about getting better, It's

597
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 1: about deciding what's worth holding on to. Rosie your excitement

598
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: level for season four The Bear.

599
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 2: Okay, so my honest ANSA is a two and a half.

600
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 3: Okay, but I'm pushing it to a three because I

601
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 3: love this cost.

602
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 2: I love these characters. I love spending time with them.

603
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 3: This is very peak stressed these TV for me, because

604
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 3: I did used to walk in fancy restaurants and as

605
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 3: a waita and and it sucks. And this the first

606
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 3: season of this show, I think is a masterpiece.

607
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 1: I think it.

608
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 3: Sums up a lot of the realities and feelings of

609
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 3: working in an environment like that. But I also loved

610
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 3: seeing them as like a working class kind of kitchen,

611
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 3: and a kitchen where Kami was more learning about like

612
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 3: the importance of being a good member of the team.

613
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 3: I find this stuff a little bit harder now that

614
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 3: they're moving into making you know this fancier restaurant and stuff,

615
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 3: but I will still be watching. I think the cost

616
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 3: is great. I think they're probably gonna win a ton

617
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 3: more Emmys, and I'm excited to see where this goes.

618
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 3: And I hope we get more time just with the

619
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 3: crew and the kitchen together. That's what I missed from

620
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 3: season three.

621
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 1: I'm going to give it too remote. I agree with you.

622
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: It's a very high quality, well acted, well written. It

623
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: has a kind of panache about the way it moves

624
00:33:55,240 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: through its various episodes. Lets you know that this is

625
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 1: a very confident production team that knows they're doing something great.

626
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: That said, for me, season three was a little bit

627
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 1: of a downer season. It lost some of the propulsion

628
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:17,800
Speaker 1: perhaps in success as they've opened the restaurant. And also

629
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 1: it does feel to me, maybe you know what, I think,

630
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 1: we've been Last of Us and House of the Dragon

631
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 1: peeled with some of the weight times for seasons, so

632
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: that it genuinely feels shocking that the Bear just is

633
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: pumping out seasons that come out on time. And I

634
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 1: think that's why.

635
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 3: I think that's why for some folks, some just average

636
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 3: TV watches, this is one of the best shows on

637
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,439
Speaker 3: TV because they don't have to wait two years.

638
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,800
Speaker 2: And then like rewatch the show to understand it.

639
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 1: Or like Severns. So I don't want to ding it

640
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,839
Speaker 1: fully for that, but I will admit that I am

641
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:02,399
Speaker 1: feeling a little bit bit of Bear fatigue.

642
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 2: Jason said, take longer to make the show, don't just.

643
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 1: It is like you want to talk about stress teage.

644
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: This is a stress teuge show. On occasion, not every episode.

645
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 3: Fast episode of this is one of the most stressful

646
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 3: episodes you will ever watch.

647
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 1: If you've watched in a restaurant, but there are stress

648
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 1: I would say anywhere from twenty to sixty percent of

649
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: the episodes in any given season of The Bear are

650
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 1: extremely stressful. I'm I'm looking at you. The the Family Dinner

651
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 1: episode of The Bear, the cameo Layden Family Dinner episode

652
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: of The Bear that is just like goes from a

653
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: like an eleven on the anxiety scale and then reaches

654
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: like a twenty by the time the episode is on verifying.

655
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 1: Up next, Squid Game talk about pumping them out and

656
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 1: coming out the times. Squid Games season three, June twenty

657
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 1: seventh on Netflix. Here's the snops, picking up from season two,

658
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: devis stating Cliffhanger. Season three throw us geehun back into

659
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 1: the brutal heart of the Games, determined to dismantle them

660
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 1: once and for all. Still haunted by the betrayal and

661
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: loss of his closest ally, gehun faces new perils, including

662
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 1: the front Man, who shockingly infiltrated the rebellion disguise as

663
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 1: player double O one.

664
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 3: Yes, I am gonna say, guys, cheeky, I think to

665
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 3: promote this on having a cliffhanger when it was just

666
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 3: clearly that this is one season split into two. But

667
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 3: you know what, good for them? Everyone loves Squid Games.

668
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 3: Was season two as good as squ season one? No,

669
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 3: because once again, you can't capture lightning in a battle

670
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 3: in that way. I do like these characters though, I

671
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 3: do like this world. I love a dystopian story. It's

672
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 3: a solid three for me. I'm hoping they're gonna do

673
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 3: something that's gonna surprise me, but this currently I've got

674
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 3: my three remotes out of five for Squid Games season three.

675
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:54,919
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give it two and a half remotes. I'm

676
00:36:54,960 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 1: with you. I it's interesting for show that is really

677
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: so full of twists and surprises that you don't feel surprised. Yes,

678
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 1: and because so many of those twists feel like they

679
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: are in service of keeping our hero from really making

680
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 1: any headway. And bringing down this criminal empire that said,

681
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:25,399
Speaker 1: or capitalist criminal empire that said. I love closure. I'm

682
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 1: a return of the Jedi person for that reason. So

683
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 1: you know what, maybe I'll bump it up to three

684
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bump it up to three remotes because I'm

685
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: hopeful that we get some yes up next. Listen, we

686
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 1: both love a serial killer. We do. We saw a problem.

687
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,839
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Dexter resurrection. You want to talk about resurrections.

688
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: How many time can this show get resurrected? Dude?

689
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:53,719

00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 1: the the true beleagueredness of Paramount, which is trying to

694
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 1: go through a sale but is being actively extorted by

695
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 1: the President of the United States. Anyway, here's the synopsis.

696
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 1: Weeks after Dexter takes a bullet to the chest from

697

Speaker 1: sets out for New York City, determined to find him

701
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 1: and make things right, but closure won't come easily. When

702
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 1: Angel arrives with questions, Dexter realizes his past is catching

703
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 1: up with him fast and just gonna sprinkle a little

704
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 1: spice on this for your future ratings formulation, Rosie, We're

705
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 1: introduced to a band of serial killers seemingly recruited by

00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:04,320
Speaker 1: Peter Dinklich's new character, Leon Prater, a billionaire venture capitalist.

707
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 3: Well, guess what I have to tell you something, guys.

708
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,040

Speaker 3: like a wild serial killer thing. This is like a

710
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 3: first paragraph, solid one. It's a solid one star. Like

711
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 3: I'm not that interested about it. I'm gonna give I'm

00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 3: I have watched all of the original season. I did

714
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,640

719
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 3: about a band of interesting serial killers recruited by Peter

720
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 3: Dinklitch who is a billionaire like one of my favorite

721
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 3: on the three season shows of all time, that I

722
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 3: think does not get enough love. Is this really weird

723
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 3: Kevin Bacon show called The Following, which is about Kevin

724
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 3: Bacon and his nemesis. And his nemesis is a professor

725
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 3: of get Alan Poe and he does murders in Edgar

726
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:07,320
Speaker 3: Allan Poe themed style. But then when he is jailed

727
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 3: and all of this happens in like the first five

728
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 3: minutes of the first episode.

729
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,360
Speaker 2: When he is jailed, he manages to use.

730
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 3: The Internet to create a cult of serial killers who

731
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 3: then start doing like outrageous serial killings on his behalf.

732
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 3: It's so good, it's so trashy, it's so enjoyable, and

733
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 3: this is giving that energy. So I'm going for a three.

734
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:27,800
Speaker 3: I want to see Peter Dinklage. I want to see

735
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:31,359
Speaker 3: these serial killers better have inventive, weird vibes, like I

736
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:35,240
Speaker 3: want to see something strange, and I want to know obviously,

737
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 3: like I'm guessing Dexter and his son are gonna have

738
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 3: to team up to take down these serial killers.

739
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 1: I'm going to give it a three and a half

740
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 1: for the same reason as you. This band of this

741
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 1: super serial killer team recruited by Sounds Greater Dnkledge that said,

742
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a three and a half remotes with

743
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 1: a quick off trigger. I'm gonna give it. I'm very

744
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 1: excited for this first episode July eleventh on the Bleaker

745
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: Showtime Paramount. But if it doesn't do it for me,

746
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna go to the Backe introduced Leon straight away,

747
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 1: like I don't want to. I don't care about that

748
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 1: strain of son.

749
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:14,839
Speaker 3: I need to be pinkadic glitch at his serial killer Avengas.

750
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 1: Up next Season three of Foundation on Apple TV plus

751
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:23,919
Speaker 1: full Disclosure. I am the official podcast the first two

752
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 1: the official Foundation pod on it. Yes. Here is the synopsis.

753
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 1: The Foundation has become increasingly established, far beyond its humble beginnings,

754
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 1: while the Kleonic Dynasties Empire has dwindled. As both of

755
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 1: these galactic powers forge an uneasy alliance, a threat to

756
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: the entire galaxy appears in the fearsome form of a

757
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:51,760
Speaker 1: warlord known as the Mule, which readers of the Foundation

758
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: book series will recognize. Your remote contul writing.

759
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 3: This is one of the most insane ambitious TV shows

760
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 3: on TV. It's based on unfinished works. This, by the way,

761
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:07,240
Speaker 3: Season three is going to be one hundred and fifty

762
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 3: two years after season two, which is one of my

763
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 3: favorite things about this show.

764
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 1: Also, I lovely.

765
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 3: Pace, and this year they are adding Troy kotzew Oscar

766
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 3: Winner deaf Oscar Winner, who I love. So I'm very

767
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 3: excited to see how that we often don't get like

768
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 3: deafness and disability in futuristic shows, whether dystopian or utopian.

769
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 3: So I'm interested to see how they play that. I'm

770
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 3: gonna give it a solid four because I do think

771
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 3: that we need to support weird TV shows and this

772
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 3: is one of the weirdest. And if you want to

773
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 3: know where Apple TV Plus is throwing lots of money,

774
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 3: it is at this show right and it is a

775
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 3: crazy sci fi escapade.

776
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,320
Speaker 1: For remotes for me, listen. If you love sci fi,

777
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 1: you're probably a lover of sci fi. If you're listening

778
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 1: to this podcast, you should be watching a foundation because

779
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:55,279
Speaker 1: it's great. It's great sci fi.

780
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 3: It has weird sci fi that we don't really get anymore.

781
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 3: And also our listeners love sci fi. We know that

782
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 3: you guys have told us, so give this a chance.

783
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 3: If you're looking for that sci fi that isn't Star Wars,

784
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 3: that sci fi that maybe you haven't heard of that

785
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:11,840
Speaker 3: sci fi that maybe you read part of when you

786
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 3: were a kid but never checked back in on that's

787
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 3: foundation and I'm very interested to see what season happens

788
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 3: with Season three.

789
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,359
Speaker 1: As Abu says in the chat, one of the most

790
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:24,720
Speaker 1: visually stunning shows and recenters. It looks like a million zero.

791
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 1: It looks like a movie. Every door level like looks great.

792
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 3: It's also if you're in that Prestige TV mindset of

793
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:35,840
Speaker 3: Game of Thrones, if you want to see people fucking

794
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 3: and killing and fighting.

795
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:39,840
Speaker 1: Against baby fucking baby fucking, and they also be fighting,

796
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 1: sometimes at the same time, sometimes at the same time.

797
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 3: So I'm saying, just like, give it a try, and

798
00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 3: I'm very excited to see where it goes next.

799
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 1: Up next, Oh, on disney Pluse, the Disney Pluse Network.

800
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 1: Eyes of Wakanda August six. Wow. There is no true synopsis,

801
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 1: but here is storyboard artist Todd Harris quote. The story

802
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:08,320
Speaker 1: starts off during the end of the Western Bronze Age. Oh,

803
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:11,840
Speaker 1: and that sparks off this giant spy espionage story that

804
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 1: roberates through time. You get Wakanda grade James Bond and

805
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 1: sometimes a James Bond with the backdrop of all the

806
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 1: awesomeness that is Wakanda. Sounds good, Rosie your remote control rating.

807
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:28,240
Speaker 3: I'm giving it three and a half with a hopeful

808
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 3: four because I do no you know what, I'm going

809
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:34,919
Speaker 3: to reframe this because this is not about how good

810
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:36,840
Speaker 3: I think the show is going to be. This is

811
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 3: a Black Panther animated series that is produced by Ryan Coogla,

812
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 3: and that at d twenty three revealed a very key

813
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 3: connection spoiler mfs on if you don't want it that

814
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 3: will probably get an imfist in this show that will

815
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 3: probably kind of see different warriors from around the world.

816
00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 3: I'm guessing this is maybe gonna lean into the cosmic side.

817
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:03,839
Speaker 3: So actually, my true, my true excitement as somebody who

818
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:05,759
Speaker 3: grew up with this stuff, there are a five star

819
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,280
Speaker 3: excitement for me. I'm giving it five remotes of excitement

820
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 3: because it's an animated Black Panther show produced by Ryan Coogler.

821
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 2: Look are we in MCU fatigue?

822
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 1: Yes?

823
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 2: But is Black Panther one of the coolest characters ever made?

824
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 2: Is Wakanda one of the best worlds that Jack Kirby

825
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 2: ever visualized.

826
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:28,840
Speaker 3: Is Black Panther still a character no matter who is

827
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,799
Speaker 3: holding the mantle that makes people excited. So look, this

828
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 3: is not a prediction of the quality of the show.

829
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 3: I'm hoping for the best, but my actual excitement, Like,

830
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:39,319
Speaker 3: will I be stoked and counting down to the day

831
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 3: that I see this?

832
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 1: Yes?

833
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:43,760
Speaker 3: Am I worried there isn't like a full trailer or anything. Also, Yes,

834
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 3: but I'm letting the I'm letting the childhood excitement go.

835
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 3: And I'm saying five remotes of excitement for me.

836
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:53,400
Speaker 1: I am a four remote until I see that trailer.

837
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 1: Here's passed me at a solid four right now before

838
00:45:57,120 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 1: I see the trailer. We just got done watching the

839
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:04,799
Speaker 1: second season of Andor, which is a fantastic show that

840
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 1: builds on the early era and formation of the Rebellion

841
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 1: and delivers that as high level espionage thrills. I think

842
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 1: they could do the same thing with Eyes of Wakanda.

843
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 1: You're talking about great a nation that has been secret

844
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:30,800
Speaker 1: up until you know, twenty fourteen in the fictional fictional

845
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 1: year of twenty fourteen in the MCU something like that.

846
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 1: And so how did they keep it secret all those years?

847
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:38,799
Speaker 1: What were the lengths they would have to go to?

848
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:42,879
Speaker 1: Where did anybody ever discover Wakanda and have to be

849
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 1: silenced or bought off or what. I think that there

850
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 1: is tremendous potential for this to be like an and

851
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:55,360
Speaker 1: or level of thrills in terms of a spy story

852
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 1: built around the history of this fictional place. So I

853
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 1: am really really excited, and I think that depending on

854
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:07,800
Speaker 1: the trailer, Yes, my excitement could go up, could rise

855
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 1: all the way to the limit of five remotes, or

856
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 1: even drop, which I hope doesn't happen, depending on what

857
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 1: we see in that trailer. So I'm gonna give it

858
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 1: a solid four right now. Trailer TVD up next August

859
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 1: sixth on Netflix. It is season two of Wednesday starring

860
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:31,320
Speaker 1: Jenny Or starring Jenny Oega. Here is the synopsis. Wednesday

861
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:35,360
Speaker 1: Adams returns to prowl the gothic halls of Nevermore Academy.

862
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 1: We're fresh foes and woes. Oh wait. This season, Wednesday

863
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:43,439
Speaker 1: must navigate family, friends and old adversaries, propelling her into

864
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:47,279
Speaker 1: another year of delightfully dark and cookie mayhem. Armed with

865
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:50,920
Speaker 1: her signature razor sharp wit and deadpan charm, Wednesday is

866
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 1: also plunged into a new bone chilling supernatural mystery. Yeah.

867
00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 3: I like the best season of Wednesday just fine, I think,

868
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 3: Jen I'll take it as fantastic casting. I love Catherine

869
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:06,879
Speaker 3: Zea Jones as Mortsha, but it was very ya Netflix show.

870
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:08,239
Speaker 3: If you watch a lot of those, you know what

871
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 3: I mean. I would say I would be about a

872
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 3: two for this, though I do hope. I think I

873
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:16,400
Speaker 3: wrote an article for IGN about how I thought the

874
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:18,799
Speaker 3: first season was good, but it has the potential to

875
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:19,760
Speaker 3: be really great.

876
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 1: If it's weirder, I hope they lean into that.

877
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 3: But I'm pushing mine up to three remotes because they

878
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 3: are adding this year Steve Bushemi, which I love, and

879
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:34,800
Speaker 3: apparently the rumors are that he is gonna maybe play

880
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,719
Speaker 3: the head teacher who was before played by our fave

881
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:40,839
Speaker 3: Gwendolyn from A Game of Ferns. But also as well,

882
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:42,400
Speaker 3: I will say that is somewhere.

883
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 2: Where this show never fails. Like the level of casting.

884
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:51,760
Speaker 3: I mean, Louis Guzman as the patriarch of the Adams family.

885
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:55,800
Speaker 3: Gomez is like iconic casting, looks identical to the cartoon.

886
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:56,719
Speaker 1: The original cartoon.

887
00:48:57,239 --> 00:49:00,799
Speaker 3: This year they're adding Oh the Wandawayne Newton as well.

888
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 3: You may know her Sandy, but she recently introduced herself

889
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:07,799
Speaker 3: with her full name. I mean, she's amazing obviously, you

890
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 3: know I love Mission Impossible too, so I love her.

891
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:14,320
Speaker 3: Lady Gaga is gonna be in this season, Christopher Lloyd

892
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 3: from Back to the Future, Haley Joel Osmond from The

893
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 3: Sixth Sense, who has had a resurgence in many comedic roles,

894
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 3: and Heaven Matzarro from Welcome to the Doll's House. So like,

895
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:27,360
Speaker 3: the cost is giving weird. So I'm pushing up to

896
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:28,560
Speaker 3: a three from.

897
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:31,359
Speaker 2: A two where it would have been gosh.

898
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:36,759
Speaker 1: I am gonna go a two just because listen, the

899
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 1: trailer was good that said, this is one of those

900
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:46,240
Speaker 1: shows where it's been three it's like quietly been three years.

901
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:52,359
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, And for some reason with this show, I'm

902
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 1: a little I'm concerned that it took that long because

903
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 1: it kind of feels like it.

904
00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:00,840
Speaker 2: You had all the sets, you had the cattle, the sets, had.

905
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:05,520
Speaker 1: All the stuff. You know. Tim Burton obviously deeply involved,

906
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:09,080
Speaker 1: but it's not like he's doing other stuff. And so

907
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:11,959
Speaker 1: I'm a little confused, is what took so long? That said,

908
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I think that it was Tim Burton weird,

909
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:19,440
Speaker 1: which is to say, a style of weird that we've

910
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:24,399
Speaker 1: that is not that we've that we're not surprised by.

911
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 1: I do think a little bit more weirdness would increase

912
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:34,440
Speaker 1: my excitement level bit of a solid two. But you know, uh,

913
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 1: I'm going to give it much like Dexter Resurrection. I'm

914
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:44,839
Speaker 1: gonna give it two episodes and let's see where my

915
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:47,560
Speaker 1: my excitement level goes from there. So I'm gonna give

916
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 1: it a solitude. Let's go to a cook break and

917
00:50:50,040 --> 00:51:08,320
Speaker 1: with you're at and we're back up next. Oh, folks,

918
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:11,240
Speaker 1: this might be I'm gonna make a prediction in terms

919
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:16,520
Speaker 1: of excitement level, this might be our most rolled show.

920
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:19,320
Speaker 1: I think this is gonna have the most remote controls guys.

921
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 1: August twelfth on FX Hulu Alien Earth from You Know

Speaker 1: face with the planet's greatest threat. I'm excited. I need

930
00:51:58,160 --> 00:51:59,360
Speaker 1: to know nothing else.

931
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:03,320
Speaker 3: Timothy Oliphant, isn't it So I'm like, okay, that's a

932
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:04,120
Speaker 3: five anyway.

933
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:05,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, Aliens, we're.

934
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:08,960
Speaker 2: Gonna see Cymbia on Earth. It's pre Nostromo. I'm very excited.

935
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:11,480
Speaker 1: That's fascinating. And also, let's.

936
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:13,640
Speaker 3: Remember now a Holly made legion, which is like a

937
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:17,760
Speaker 3: deeply conflicted show for me, but also a fantastic fucking show,

938
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:21,280
Speaker 3: and it's in a genre space and it was totally unexpected.

939
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:25,080
Speaker 3: So I'm very ready for this to be incredible. And

940
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 3: I am hoping that Disney, Hulu, Effects, the corporations that

941
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:32,360
Speaker 3: are putting this one throw that money out the screen.

942
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:34,080
Speaker 3: I want this shit to look like and or I

943
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:36,719
Speaker 3: want to see the xenomorph. I need to know that

944
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 3: you have a practical xenomorph. I want to see the

945
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:42,920
Speaker 3: weird hybrid law. And obviously we're very excited to have

946
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:45,239
Speaker 3: camm And come on and explain it all to us

947
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:46,920
Speaker 3: as the alien lover that she is.

948
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:50,040
Speaker 1: It's a period piece. I think Noah Holly thrives in

949
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:53,440
Speaker 1: that kind of setting. I love his anthology work with

950
00:52:53,520 --> 00:53:01,759
Speaker 1: the Fargo television series, and I am extremely curious as

951
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 1: to how a late seventies alien television show, because you

952
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 1: have going.

953
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:09,160
Speaker 3: To quickly make it look that way, even though at

954
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:15,359
Speaker 3: second it has to look like how we recognize the

955
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:19,399
Speaker 3: original Fantastic Yeah Alien movie.

956
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 1: Adapting a late seventies movie set in twenty two. I

957
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:25,680
Speaker 1: can't wait to see. It's gonna be the show. I'm

958
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:28,359
Speaker 1: gonna give it. I'm gonna give it the full five

959
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:30,959
Speaker 1: remote control. I'm giving it five. We're giving it ten.

960
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:31,600
Speaker 1: This is all.

961
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:36,239
Speaker 2: This is all ten exciting remote controls.

962
00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:41,439
Speaker 1: Up next Peacemaker Season two, August twenty first, on HBO Max.

963
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:44,919
Speaker 1: We've been waiting for this one. The official log line

964
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:47,720
Speaker 1: does not tell us much, but here it is quote.

965
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:51,880
Speaker 1: The new season follows Christopher Chris Smith aka Peacemaker, the

966
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:55,640
Speaker 1: vigilante superheroes. He struggles to reconcile his past with his

967
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:59,360
Speaker 1: new found sense of purpose while continuing to kick righteous

968
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:03,160
Speaker 1: evil do but in his misguided quest for peace at

969
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:08,440
Speaker 1: any cost. Gunn, who I'm beginning to worry is over

970
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:13,320
Speaker 1: over shaming himself. Maybe he has wrote all eight episodes

971
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:18,080
Speaker 1: of season two and is directing three. Your excitement level, Rosie,

972
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:20,840
Speaker 1: I'm giving it a three. I am.

973
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:23,839
Speaker 3: I am a lover in case you didn't know, if

974
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:25,799
Speaker 3: you've listened to the podcast, I'm a lover of the

975
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:29,319
Speaker 3: James Gun Suicide Squad movie. I think it's a masterpiece.

976
00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:32,680
Speaker 3: This show, for me, did not continue the threads that

977
00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 3: I loved from that, but I do think the first

978
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:40,880
Speaker 3: season was interested in reckoning with the idea of American patriotism,

979
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:45,319
Speaker 3: with racism, with like Clan villains, like there was a

980
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 3: lot of interesting stuff there. I think the cost is great. Obviously,

981
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:51,680
Speaker 3: John Cena is amazing in this role. I'm hoping that

982
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:57,160
Speaker 3: as the show grows in this season and we get

983
00:54:57,200 --> 00:55:00,120
Speaker 3: to see you know, it's been revealed that like Guy

984
00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:03,719
Speaker 3: God in Greenland and will be in here, and I'm

985
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:06,759
Speaker 3: interested to see how this connects with Superman.

986
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:09,839
Speaker 2: This is going to be our first post Superman project, so.

987
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 1: That is pushing me.

988
00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:13,640
Speaker 3: I think it's a It's an excited three with hopes

989
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 3: for more.

990
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:20,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go I'm going to go excited three, but

991
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:26,240
Speaker 1: I'm equally concerned. I do think that the the inclusion

992
00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:28,439
Speaker 1: of Guy Gardner tells us that we're going to be

993
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:32,320
Speaker 1: picking up I think the baton from the events of Superman,

994
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:39,720
Speaker 1: which is awesome. I am worried. Creature Commandos was fun

995
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:42,920
Speaker 1: but also felt kind of sparse, and it was really

996
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:46,839
Speaker 1: the place where I began to think, God, Gun's doing

997
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:49,360
Speaker 1: a lot, It's doing a lot, a lot, a lot,

998
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:53,480
Speaker 1: and obviously so much riding on Superman. So I do.

999
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:59,719
Speaker 1: I just hope that it leaves me feeling more full

1000
00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:03,280
Speaker 1: than Creature Commando's left me feeling I did. I loved

1001
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:05,719
Speaker 1: season one. I enjoyed it quite a bit, but I

1002
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:10,239
Speaker 1: worry that guns being yeah overstretched, so an excited and

1003
00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:16,440
Speaker 1: concerned three remote controls for me, but the excitement primarily

1004
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:19,600
Speaker 1: comes from the fact that we're gonna be really expanding DC.

1005
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:22,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and also we see you with this. Your mention

1006
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:24,200
Speaker 2: of Creature Commando's did remind me.

1007
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:27,160
Speaker 3: Something I really didn't like from the first season was

1008
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:31,440
Speaker 3: like that we see Rick Flagg Junior get killed in

1009
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:34,240
Speaker 3: Suicide Squad spoiler alert for like a five year old movie.

1010
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:37,239
Speaker 3: But it is this really huge moment where he is

1011
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:40,239
Speaker 3: finally choosing not to be the Patriot, and obviously it's

1012
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:42,960
Speaker 3: revealed that Peacemaker was there as Amanda Wallace kind.

1013
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:44,240
Speaker 1: Of fail safe.

1014
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:48,200
Speaker 3: But this season we will see Frank Grio reprise his

1015
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:50,600
Speaker 3: role from Creature Commandos, where he was loving to fuck

1016
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:53,680
Speaker 3: and now he's come into this role and he is

1017
00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:55,879
Speaker 3: apparently going to be trying to like hunt down peace

1018
00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:58,319
Speaker 3: Maker cause he killed this son. So that's interesting to me,

1019
00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:01,840
Speaker 3: but again feels like a lot. Also, I do think that,

1020
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:04,920
Speaker 3: you know, we talked in the discord about this, because

1021
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:06,960
Speaker 3: like I do think it says a lot about the

1022
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:10,160
Speaker 3: trust that Warner Brothers hasing gone that they're allowing a

1023
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:13,200
Speaker 3: TV show that honestly, like five percent of the people

1024
00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:15,120
Speaker 3: who probably watch the movie are going to watch to

1025
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:15,799
Speaker 3: continue it.

1026
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:17,320
Speaker 1: So hopefully it's that good.

1027
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:19,560
Speaker 3: But we could also be having a very different conversation

1028
00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:22,080
Speaker 3: if Superman doesn't hit in the way they're expecting.

1029
00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:24,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then this show comes out afterwards.

1030
00:57:25,080 --> 00:57:27,040
Speaker 1: So I'm intrigued. Intrigued.

1031
00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 3: Three, this is going to be a big summer for

1032
00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:32,480
Speaker 3: where does the superhero story stand right now?

1033
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:35,600
Speaker 1: I think that Superman this isn't aside, but I here's

1034
00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:38,160
Speaker 1: my prediction. I think Superman is going to hit. The

1035
00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:43,840
Speaker 1: question for me is the critical reception. And I'm hopeful

1036
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:46,880
Speaker 1: about that because I think that I think it's going

1037
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:50,200
Speaker 1: to make in the neighborhood of a billion dollars.

1038
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:53,200
Speaker 3: Yes, it's definitely five hundred to eight hundred. I think

1039
00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 3: is a set.

1040
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:57,840
Speaker 1: The question is, and this was the issue with the

1041
00:57:57,840 --> 00:58:01,760
Speaker 1: Snyder verse, is do thes hated to the fans kind of?

1042
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:06,280
Speaker 1: There needs to be in a lignement between criticism and

1043
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:11,840
Speaker 1: the fan reaction as well in the box office. Okay, Finally,

1044
00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:16,480
Speaker 1: long story short August twenty second on Netflix from the

1045
00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:20,440
Speaker 1: creator of BoJack Horseman, Rafael Bob Waksburg is back with

1046
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:28,680
Speaker 1: another animated family drama. This follows one family through apparently

1047
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:33,520
Speaker 1: multiple time streams as it jumps in the future, to

1048
00:58:33,600 --> 00:58:36,560
Speaker 1: the past, to the future again to the present as

1049
00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:40,160
Speaker 1: we follow the Swooper siblings from childhood to adulthood and

1050
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:46,919
Speaker 1: back again, chronicling their triumphs, disappointments, joys, and compromises your

1051
00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:48,040
Speaker 1: level of excitement.

1052
00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:51,600
Speaker 3: I'm giving it for remote controls because I love BoJack

1053
00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 3: Horseman and also Lisa Hanawal is one of my favorite cartoonists.

1054
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:57,480
Speaker 3: She worked on BoJack Horsemen, she worked to Karimba. It

1055
00:58:57,600 --> 00:59:00,600
Speaker 3: was her show. She's back as a supervising producer. I

1056
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:03,920
Speaker 3: think this is going to be hella depressing and really

1057
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:06,160
Speaker 3: hard to watch, just like BoJack Horseman is, but I'm

1058
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:09,080
Speaker 3: hoping it will also be incredibly life affirming and fun

1059
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:10,200
Speaker 3: and beautifully animated.

1060
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:11,120
Speaker 2: The cost is great.

1061
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:14,640
Speaker 3: Dave Franco, who just came off for absolutely fucking Killer

1062
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:20,800
Speaker 3: Studio cameo. Nicole Bayer obviously legendary podcasts, super fun legend

1063
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:23,560
Speaker 3: and super fun nail that start. Abby Jacobson from Board

1064
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:26,840
Speaker 3: CEA Like, I think that's really interesting stuff here. How

1065
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:27,840
Speaker 3: are you feeling about it?

1066
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:33,280
Speaker 1: Gosh, I'm like you. I think BoJack has some of

1067
00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:38,920
Speaker 1: the highest highs, certainly in recent animated shows. There are

1068
00:59:38,920 --> 00:59:45,720
Speaker 1: episodes that I still think about in the heartbreaking they are,

1069
00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:54,880
Speaker 1: how well they depict depression and just an aimlessness that

1070
00:59:55,280 --> 01:00:00,080
Speaker 1: is something I think people just experience and don't know

1071
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:02,640
Speaker 1: how to really verbalize, and I think that show really

1072
01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:05,800
Speaker 1: presents it in a way that is both life affirming

1073
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:10,320
Speaker 1: but also like really really heartbreaking. I'm gonna give it.

1074
01:00:13,080 --> 01:00:15,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give it a three. It's a little bit

1075
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:20,000
Speaker 1: of a hopeful three. I'm but I have I'm worried

1076
01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 1: like you, I I think I have a limited bandwidth

1077
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:29,080
Speaker 1: right now for truly like the BoJack level heartbreak.

1078
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:31,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think right now, it's tough to watch

1079
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:32,320
Speaker 2: that stuff.

1080
01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:35,840
Speaker 1: It's very tough. And I also think there's a little

1081
01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:40,600
Speaker 1: this is not fair to long story short, but it's

1082
01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:43,920
Speaker 1: giving me. I don't know how many people watch the

1083
01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:47,720
Speaker 1: Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, Robert Oh.

1084
01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:56,120
Speaker 3: It has it also has like fucking like, uh, what

1085
01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:59,520
Speaker 3: the the was it like Tree of Life or what mean?

1086
01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:04,840
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, I think that's yeah, So it's giving me

1087
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:08,640
Speaker 1: some Again, I don't know how many people watch that movie,

1088
01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:10,760
Speaker 1: but I did, and it's been giving me a little

1089
01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:16,000
Speaker 1: bit of here vibes. So I'm concerned that I won't

1090
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:17,920
Speaker 1: have the emotional bandwidth to deal with it. But I'm

1091
01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:21,360
Speaker 1: gonna give it a three because you know, it comes

1092
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:24,760
Speaker 1: with a tremendous legacy coming out of BoJack, which I

1093
01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:28,120
Speaker 1: think is one of the most unique and heartbreaking to

1094
01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:30,880
Speaker 1: animated shows in recent memory. Okay, let's take a quick

1095
01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:33,120
Speaker 1: break and we're gonna come back with our quick thoughts

1096
01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:50,480
Speaker 1: on murder Bots, which just talked. Okay, murder Bot on

1097
01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:55,160
Speaker 1: Apple TV Plus is the adaptation of the best selling

1098
01:01:55,200 --> 01:01:57,760
Speaker 1: novella for Martha wells Now on Apple TV Plus. I

1099
01:01:57,840 --> 01:02:00,520
Speaker 1: believe it's on its fifth or sixth episode as we

1100
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:05,240
Speaker 1: record this right now. Interesting tone for show, and I

1101
01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:08,560
Speaker 1: think also a slow starting show. But your your thoughts.

1102
01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:12,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've read the book. I'm rereading the first book

1103
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:16,000
Speaker 3: right now. I do think it has an interesting tone.

1104
01:02:16,040 --> 01:02:18,960
Speaker 3: I also think that the first couple of episodes it's

1105
01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:21,520
Speaker 3: been a big conversation start in our discord and.

1106
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:23,240
Speaker 1: At the escape, very slow start. For me.

1107
01:02:23,360 --> 01:02:26,840
Speaker 3: I think it's You've got to establish a lot about

1108
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:30,880
Speaker 3: the show, which is like, you have this world where

1109
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:34,760
Speaker 3: these killer robots exist, and this one has hacked its

1110
01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:37,680
Speaker 3: programming and now it just wants to sit around and

1111
01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:40,600
Speaker 3: watch TV instead of take over the world. And the

1112
01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:42,640
Speaker 3: first two episodes do a lot of heavy lifting, a

1113
01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:46,400
Speaker 3: lot of exposition. Luckily, Alexander Scarsguard is the murder bot,

1114
01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:48,520
Speaker 3: or as they call them as SEC units, and he

1115
01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:50,720
Speaker 3: has the narration, which is a major part of the book,

1116
01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:52,640
Speaker 3: and at first I think it feels a bit clunky,

1117
01:02:52,720 --> 01:02:54,960
Speaker 3: but by the time I was into episode three, I

1118
01:02:55,120 --> 01:02:56,640
Speaker 3: was like, Okay, I think this is going to be

1119
01:02:56,680 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 3: something special. And now halfway through the season, I love

1120
01:03:01,120 --> 01:03:05,120
Speaker 3: I love the kind of retro futuristic version they have

1121
01:03:05,240 --> 01:03:08,720
Speaker 3: of a utopia. I spoke to Alex about this on

1122
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:12,040
Speaker 3: our interview that we did for the for Denogi Pod

1123
01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:16,160
Speaker 3: kind of collab, and that was like something that really

1124
01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:17,840
Speaker 3: appealed to him was the fact that this is a

1125
01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:21,960
Speaker 3: show about TV and watching TV and the joy that

1126
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:24,120
Speaker 3: TV can bring you, because that is what murder Boch

1127
01:03:24,160 --> 01:03:29,280
Speaker 3: chooses to do. I really love the other cast members.

1128
01:03:29,320 --> 01:03:32,680
Speaker 3: I think that's what I'm most kind of interested in

1129
01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:34,720
Speaker 3: right now because murder Bot's fun, but if you've read

1130
01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:37,080
Speaker 3: the books, you kind of really know murder Bot. Here

1131
01:03:37,120 --> 01:03:39,960
Speaker 3: we really get to expand on the relationships, the way

1132
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:42,520
Speaker 3: that people would love in the future, or the way

1133
01:03:42,560 --> 01:03:44,800
Speaker 3: that people would have kids in the future. I also

1134
01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:48,920
Speaker 3: think that, yeah, by this point I've seen the whole season,

1135
01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:51,240
Speaker 3: But by this point in the season, like episode five,

1136
01:03:51,440 --> 01:03:53,959
Speaker 3: that was when I started texting everyone and I was like, guys,

1137
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:56,320
Speaker 3: you have to watch the show like it's actually something

1138
01:03:56,360 --> 01:04:00,200
Speaker 3: really special. It's just how do you establish this world

1139
01:04:00,240 --> 01:04:02,440
Speaker 3: and world buildings so quickly so you can get to

1140
01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:04,560
Speaker 3: the fun stuff. But I've been very happy to see

1141
01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:07,520
Speaker 3: in the Escape Patch discord in our discord that people

1142
01:04:07,560 --> 01:04:09,560
Speaker 3: who have stuck with it are really enjoying it and

1143
01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:12,760
Speaker 3: I do think it is a great adaptation of these

1144
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:16,360
Speaker 3: Martha World's novels, which are like very funny, very silly,

1145
01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:20,800
Speaker 3: like satirical sci fi that do play with these ideas

1146
01:04:20,840 --> 01:04:26,200
Speaker 3: of like AI and the idea of what dissentients mean,

1147
01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:29,240
Speaker 3: and it's you know, I'm also has no surprise, everyone knows.

1148
01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:31,360
Speaker 3: I'm also like I'm a little lover girl, you know,

1149
01:04:31,480 --> 01:04:33,240
Speaker 3: so like I love that this is kind of this

1150
01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:37,439
Speaker 3: idealistic vision of what the future could be, even when

1151
01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:40,560
Speaker 3: we're in a dystopia as this is so yeah, I

1152
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:41,640
Speaker 3: am loving it.

1153
01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:43,200
Speaker 2: I'm a murder Bot supporter.

1154
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:45,360
Speaker 3: Sabrina Woo's in it, who I just think is so

1155
01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:46,760
Speaker 3: great and so funny.

1156
01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:49,320
Speaker 2: No, it's just a great cast. It's a great clast.

1157
01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:53,760
Speaker 1: Jason, what are your thoughts. I, now that I've kind

1158
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:56,160
Speaker 1: of digested I did not read the book. Now that

1159
01:04:56,200 --> 01:04:59,479
Speaker 1: I've kind of digested with the tone of the show

1160
01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:02,840
Speaker 1: is because it opens up like a you know, like

1161
01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:04,200
Speaker 1: a like a sitcom, like.

1162
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:07,960
Speaker 3: A sitcom, which I don't think even book readers were expecting.

1163
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:11,640
Speaker 1: And so that took a little while to get used to.

1164
01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:18,360
Speaker 1: And then with that kind of processing of the tone

1165
01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:21,200
Speaker 1: of it, the first two episodes are tough because to

1166
01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:23,960
Speaker 1: your point, it does drop us in the world, and

1167
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:28,840
Speaker 1: it it's not really until the end of the second

1168
01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:32,120
Speaker 1: episode that the story of the season really starts rolling

1169
01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:36,280
Speaker 1: with the introduction of the of the science team, and

1170
01:05:36,360 --> 01:05:41,320
Speaker 1: as you begin to understand their working relationship, their personal relationships,

1171
01:05:41,360 --> 01:05:43,959
Speaker 1: and the way they relate to the to the second unit,

1172
01:05:44,520 --> 01:05:49,880
Speaker 1: and then it isn't really until episode three four that

1173
01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:53,360
Speaker 1: you begin to feel like, ah, I understand what this

1174
01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:57,920
Speaker 1: season is about. I'm glad that I stuck with it.

1175
01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:01,240
Speaker 1: And that's what I would say. Definitely, yeah, stick with

1176
01:06:01,320 --> 01:06:04,439
Speaker 1: it because it's with it. It's only a half hour. Also, yeah,

1177
01:06:04,440 --> 01:06:06,680
Speaker 1: it's not like you're there for an hour each time.

1178
01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:08,720
Speaker 1: Trying to be like, when does the story start.

1179
01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:11,600
Speaker 3: Five years ago, before we were in the peak, you know,

1180
01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:13,160
Speaker 3: consumption era of TV.

1181
01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:15,600
Speaker 1: Maybe that's what er we're.

1182
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:19,400
Speaker 3: In, but yeah, it five years ago. We were telling people, hey.

1183
01:06:19,400 --> 01:06:20,280
Speaker 2: Just watch the show.

1184
01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:23,440
Speaker 3: The first series isn't that great, but it gets really great.

1185
01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:25,360
Speaker 3: So I think having a show where it's like, hey,

1186
01:06:25,400 --> 01:06:28,000
Speaker 3: it's two episodes, you have to and they're still fun

1187
01:06:28,040 --> 01:06:31,600
Speaker 3: and it's still Alexander Skarska, but like two episodes, it's

1188
01:06:31,640 --> 01:06:34,200
Speaker 3: an hour of your time commit because I do think

1189
01:06:34,720 --> 01:06:36,840
Speaker 3: that once you get in there, this is a very

1190
01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:40,400
Speaker 3: unique vision of the future and it is a very

1191
01:06:40,440 --> 01:06:42,600
Speaker 3: different style of sci fi.

1192
01:06:42,800 --> 01:06:44,120
Speaker 1: I Will also says.

1193
01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:45,920
Speaker 3: It's kind of hopeful in a way a lot of

1194
01:06:46,080 --> 01:06:49,520
Speaker 3: dystopian sci fi we get isn't and it is a

1195
01:06:49,560 --> 01:06:53,280
Speaker 3: faithful adaptation of Welles's work, which, by the way, if

1196
01:06:53,280 --> 01:06:55,920
Speaker 3: you want to read All Systems, read which is the

1197
01:06:55,920 --> 01:06:59,760
Speaker 3: first novella from the murder Bot series, also known as

1198
01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:02,440
Speaker 3: About Diaries. It's one hundred and twenty eight pages, so

1199
01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:04,200
Speaker 3: you can even read it while you're watching those first

1200
01:07:04,200 --> 01:07:06,439
Speaker 3: two episodes. Get a kind of lock on it. But yeah,

1201
01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:10,120
Speaker 3: I think this is really fun. I hope again Apple

1202
01:07:10,160 --> 01:07:12,840
Speaker 3: plus TV, we're back at it. Not even sponsored by

1203
01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:15,840
Speaker 3: Apple plus TV, but they are making really interesting, weird

1204
01:07:15,880 --> 01:07:16,680
Speaker 3: shows and they are.

1205
01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:17,280
Speaker 1: Committing to them.

1206
01:07:17,360 --> 01:07:19,640
Speaker 3: Also, another thing I love about this is if you

1207
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:23,640
Speaker 3: go to Alexander Scarsguard's page, and I couldn't believe this

1208
01:07:23,720 --> 01:07:27,720
Speaker 3: because I watched the show pretty closely, he shows himself

1209
01:07:27,800 --> 01:07:31,080
Speaker 3: getting into the practical murder Bot suit, which is essentially

1210
01:07:31,120 --> 01:07:32,120
Speaker 3: a pull on suit.

1211
01:07:32,440 --> 01:07:33,440
Speaker 2: When you watch.

1212
01:07:33,240 --> 01:07:37,160
Speaker 3: That on TV, you will believe you are watching like

1213
01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:42,160
Speaker 3: a highly animated CGI robot like Marvel style, but it's

1214
01:07:42,200 --> 01:07:45,080
Speaker 3: actually just a really incredible practical suit and I am

1215
01:07:45,120 --> 01:07:47,520
Speaker 3: a big fan of that. I'm excited for people to

1216
01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:48,800
Speaker 3: see the rest of the season too.

1217
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:51,280
Speaker 1: I love that. I do love the look of it,

1218
01:07:51,440 --> 01:07:55,480
Speaker 1: look and feel of it. It reminds me of Star

1219
01:07:55,520 --> 01:08:00,200
Speaker 1: Wars in it has a kind of seventies feeling trou

1220
01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:05,560
Speaker 1: future design. Like the spaceships are all rounded off. They're

1221
01:08:05,600 --> 01:08:09,040
Speaker 1: not like these kind of militaristic looking they look. It

1222
01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:12,000
Speaker 1: looks like a you know, like a flying like mood

1223
01:08:12,080 --> 01:08:13,480
Speaker 1: ring or something. Yeah, exactly.

1224
01:08:13,520 --> 01:08:15,960
Speaker 2: And it's like and everything's like rounded.

1225
01:08:16,080 --> 01:08:20,599
Speaker 3: There's lots like round boulders and tan colors and yeah,

1226
01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:22,439
Speaker 3: very Star Wars.

1227
01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:26,080
Speaker 1: And I really like that part of it. David as

1228
01:08:26,160 --> 01:08:31,479
Speaker 1: Mulchin as Graffin, who's kind of the early foil for

1229
01:08:32,479 --> 01:08:36,920
Speaker 1: a murder bot, is really wonderful and eerie as this

1230
01:08:37,080 --> 01:08:42,200
Speaker 1: more as the human who knows too much about technology

1231
01:08:42,439 --> 01:08:44,679
Speaker 1: for murder bots.

1232
01:08:44,520 --> 01:08:50,120
Speaker 3: Liking you know, and they're so good together, Alexanda and David,

1233
01:08:50,240 --> 01:08:51,200
Speaker 3: it's incredible.

1234
01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:52,800
Speaker 1: I love that you picked up on that.

1235
01:08:52,880 --> 01:08:55,760
Speaker 3: I think des Mulchin is really doing something special with

1236
01:08:55,880 --> 01:08:59,960
Speaker 3: that role. Also, you know, Aboo and Joel who I

1237
01:09:00,360 --> 01:09:02,360
Speaker 3: were both people that I was like, keep watching it,

1238
01:09:02,439 --> 01:09:05,599
Speaker 3: keep watching it. Abu said, you know, he did greatly

1239
01:09:05,800 --> 01:09:08,120
Speaker 3: dislikes a binge drop, but this show needed to be

1240
01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:11,240
Speaker 3: a binge drop. And I do agree that if this

1241
01:09:11,360 --> 01:09:14,240
Speaker 3: show had been a ten episode binge watch, I think

1242
01:09:14,320 --> 01:09:17,439
Speaker 3: the conversation and excitement around it right now would be

1243
01:09:17,560 --> 01:09:20,360
Speaker 3: like really big can I.

1244
01:09:20,080 --> 01:09:24,160
Speaker 1: Like, it's interesting to me the decision to like do

1245
01:09:24,280 --> 01:09:27,160
Speaker 1: the heavy exposition over two episodes because I don't know,

1246
01:09:29,200 --> 01:09:34,840
Speaker 1: do we really need this robot reprogrammed itself and now

1247
01:09:35,400 --> 01:09:38,160
Speaker 1: thinks for itself? Do we really need a heavy lift

1248
01:09:38,200 --> 01:09:41,439
Speaker 1: on that. I feel like that as a concept is

1249
01:09:41,560 --> 01:09:44,479
Speaker 1: so in the popular so in.

1250
01:09:44,439 --> 01:09:46,760
Speaker 2: The main Yeah, that understanding.

1251
01:09:47,840 --> 01:09:52,240
Speaker 1: Really know that all of that was super necessary. To me.

1252
01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:54,040
Speaker 1: It feels like we could have opened up with the

1253
01:09:54,080 --> 01:09:56,880
Speaker 1: science team arriving. I do love the science team.

1254
01:09:56,920 --> 01:09:59,280
Speaker 3: I'm not anything to bring them in soon now, but

1255
01:09:59,400 --> 01:10:01,800
Speaker 3: I yeah, I'm glad that half the season is out.

1256
01:10:01,840 --> 01:10:04,120
Speaker 2: I feel like people are really starting to vibe with ye.

1257
01:10:04,280 --> 01:10:07,040
Speaker 3: I think I do think it's funny because I do

1258
01:10:07,080 --> 01:10:10,080
Speaker 3: think this is an example where like when the first

1259
01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:12,720
Speaker 3: season of You, which had which by the way, we

1260
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:15,479
Speaker 3: didn't even, you know, talk about just ended. But that

1261
01:10:15,520 --> 01:10:18,880
Speaker 3: show had already aired weekly on Lifetime and had kind

1262
01:10:18,920 --> 01:10:21,280
Speaker 3: of been a flop. Crazy to say that that was

1263
01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:25,640
Speaker 3: a Lifetime show. But on New Year's Day, maybe like

1264
01:10:26,439 --> 01:10:29,840
Speaker 3: six seven years ago, Netflix bought the rights. They put

1265
01:10:29,880 --> 01:10:33,679
Speaker 3: the whole show Binge season on Netflix and it became

1266
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:37,479
Speaker 3: the biggest water cooler moment. And I think that something

1267
01:10:37,520 --> 01:10:40,360
Speaker 3: that the streamers are going to have to navigate is

1268
01:10:41,120 --> 01:10:44,439
Speaker 3: we have started to see if somebody like that usually

1269
01:10:44,439 --> 01:10:47,360
Speaker 3: does weekly, like Disney, puts a whole season out, we

1270
01:10:47,439 --> 01:10:49,720
Speaker 3: feel like maybe they're trying to bury it. But I

1271
01:10:49,720 --> 01:10:53,840
Speaker 3: think there needs to be a conversation and an understanding

1272
01:10:53,880 --> 01:10:58,040
Speaker 3: with execs, with producers whatever that Sometimes you got to

1273
01:10:58,240 --> 01:11:00,839
Speaker 3: show the show to people first, and your test audience

1274
01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:02,760
Speaker 3: has to say, like, would you rather would you have

1275
01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:04,400
Speaker 3: stopped watching this if you didn't get here?

1276
01:11:04,640 --> 01:11:06,559
Speaker 2: Does it need to be a binge watch? I think

1277
01:11:06,560 --> 01:11:10,800
Speaker 2: this show would have been really supported by that. But

1278
01:11:10,960 --> 01:11:13,080
Speaker 2: also the show still exists.

1279
01:11:13,080 --> 01:11:16,880
Speaker 3: There's still ten great episodes, and you know you're gonna

1280
01:11:16,920 --> 01:11:19,120
Speaker 3: be able to Now you can watch half the show

1281
01:11:19,160 --> 01:11:21,120
Speaker 3: and really get a feeling for it. And I think

1282
01:11:21,560 --> 01:11:23,679
Speaker 3: I've seen a lot of people who are really happy

1283
01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:25,600
Speaker 3: they stuck with it, so I'm gonna keep encouraging. I

1284
01:11:25,640 --> 01:11:28,639
Speaker 3: think this is gonna be a secret slow burn hit

1285
01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:31,680
Speaker 3: of twenty twenty five, and I think by the end

1286
01:11:31,720 --> 01:11:33,920
Speaker 3: of the season it really starts to feel like one

1287
01:11:33,960 --> 01:11:35,760
Speaker 3: of those shows where you're like, shit, this could be

1288
01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:38,960
Speaker 3: like there could be twenty seasons of this, like Star Trek,

1289
01:11:39,040 --> 01:11:40,799
Speaker 3: like you really get into the world.

1290
01:11:41,040 --> 01:11:42,320
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm rooting for it.

1291
01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:45,080

1302
01:12:08,560 --> 01:12:09,880

Speaker 3: fifteen Cinderella movie, which by the way, is now looked

1306
01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:25,960
Speaker 3: upon as the best of the Disney Live action remakes,

1315
01:12:47,600 --> 01:12:54,200
Speaker 3: his absolute uh what's the word his accent era? I

1316
01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:57,200
Speaker 3: would put it where he was doing a lot of accents.

1317
01:12:57,280 --> 01:13:00,640
Speaker 3: Same around the same time as Elvis, one of the

1318
01:13:00,680 --> 01:13:04,479
Speaker 3: most crazy movies I've ever seen and criminally underrated. Correctly

1319
01:13:04,479 --> 01:13:05,719
Speaker 3: put Mozart in the Jungle.

1320

1322
01:13:14,880 --> 01:13:18,439
Speaker 1: it had gone two seasons before people realized that it

1323
