This Show Needs To Be Cancelled... · The conspiracy

0:00
Speaker 1: All's Fair, a Ryan Murphy seventy million dollars vanity project
0:05
Speaker 1: that somehow convinced Glenn Close, Sarah Paulsen, Nisi Nash, and
0:09
Speaker 1: Naomi Watts to deliver career worst performances while Kim Kardashian
0:15
Speaker 1: redlines like a hostage And this show debuted with zero
0:20
Speaker 1: percent on Rotten Tomatoes and received The Guardian's eighteenth zero
0:25
Speaker 1: star review in their two hundred and four year history,
0:30
Speaker 1: yet became Hulu's biggest scripted series premiere in three years
0:35
Speaker 1: with three point two million views. So naturally I had
0:40
Speaker 1: to take the time to watch it for myself, and
0:43
Speaker 1: by god, I want that time back. Okay, hello everybody,
0:54
Speaker 1: and welcome back into my YouTube channel.
0:56
Speaker 2: And welcome to my YouTube channel. I'm Commic Grisson and
0:58
Speaker 2: Comick Grisson.
0:58
Speaker 1: Today we're talking about maybe the best show ever, and
1:02
Speaker 1: by the best show, I mean not the best show.
1:05
Speaker 1: And I wanted to do a service today, Okay, I
1:08
Speaker 1: wanted to save you, save your time, and I want
1:11
Speaker 1: I put myself through watching this and if you've watched it,
1:16
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, or maybe you had fun.
1:19
Speaker 1: You know, we'll talk about it, we'll get into it.
1:21
Speaker 1: It was an otherworldly experience. But before we get into
1:25
Speaker 1: this ugliness, I just want you to know you look
1:27
Speaker 1: beautiful today, very beautiful, gorgeous, stunning, handsome even. Okay, now
1:33
Speaker 1: that we got that out of the way, let's get
1:34
Speaker 1: into the video.
1:35
Speaker 2: Okay, that's what we want our own boutine.
1:38
Speaker 1: So Ryan Murphy, my arch nemesis, watch this video.
1:45
Speaker 2: You know what I mean. Okay, go watch that video after.
1:49
Speaker 1: This when you can go watch it for reference later.
1:51
Speaker 1: I don't like Ryan Murphy, okay, but he is the
1:55
Speaker 1: man behind Glee. It's a good show, you know. I
1:57
Speaker 1: didn't watch it, but I've heard it's good. I don't know.
1:59
Speaker 1: And American horror story has some good elements. I watched
2:03
Speaker 1: like four or five seasons. It was pretty good in
2:05
Speaker 1: the lift well step in some areas where I was like, wow,
2:08
Speaker 1: red flags. Okay.
2:10
Speaker 2: But that's just Ryan Murphy.
2:11
Speaker 1: And right now you could say that he's one of
2:13
Speaker 1: Hollywood's most powerful producers who consistently makes tone deaf decisions.
2:18
Speaker 1: For instance, Murphy's in Netflix series Monster, which we talked
2:21
Speaker 1: about here, perfectly encapsulates his approach to storytelling, which is
2:26
Speaker 1: exploit real tragedy for entertainment and again, if you want
2:31
Speaker 1: to know more about all that, you can go to
2:32
Speaker 1: that video, but I won't dwell on it. And Kim Kardashian,
2:36
Speaker 1: the main character of Today, had already appeared in Murphy's
2:41
Speaker 1: American horror story Delicate, and one Reddit critic described her
2:44
Speaker 1: performance as quote, her delivery is a little flat. She
2:48
Speaker 1: doesn't have a huge range of emotion with her face, unquote,
2:51
Speaker 1: and I think that has a lot to do with
2:54
Speaker 1: the fact that she well, she's not an actress. Well
2:56
Speaker 1: she technically she is, you know, if she's acting, she's
2:58
Speaker 1: an actress, but she's not a seasoned actress. And second
3:02
Speaker 1: is because she can't move her face because of what's
3:05
Speaker 1: in her face. And you know, I'm all for whatever
3:08
Speaker 1: you want to do, but might it's my problem with
3:12
Speaker 1: a lot of actors today. It's like, you know, I
3:14
Speaker 1: get that there's a beauty standard and then you're on TV.
3:17
Speaker 1: But if you have to move your face for a
3:21
Speaker 1: living and be on screen and show emotions.
3:24
Speaker 2: I don't think you should be doing.
3:26
Speaker 1: All that too much. You know, otherwise you're gonna get this,
3:29
Speaker 1: You're gonna get all's fair. Okay, we'll get into it.
3:32
Speaker 1: But Sarah Paulson came to her defense at that comment
3:35
Speaker 1: and said, quote, I think it is absolutely time for
3:38
Speaker 1: people to take Kim Kardashian seriously as an actress. And
3:41
Speaker 1: you know what, I freaking love Sarah Paulson. Also side note,
3:46
Speaker 1: best part of this whole show was Sarah Paulson. If
3:49
Speaker 1: you're gonna watch it for any reason, it's that all right.
3:51
Speaker 1: But in my humble opinion, she was not excellent.
3:55
Speaker 2: Sarah.
3:56
Speaker 1: I know you're promoting a show, but don't all got
4:00
Speaker 1: saying that she was Kim Kardashian. She played herself basically,
4:04
Speaker 1: or actually the dream version of herself, which we'll also
4:08
Speaker 1: get into.
4:09
Speaker 2: The irony is rich.
4:12
Speaker 1: But this whole thing began when Disney executive Dana Wolden
4:16
Speaker 1: introduced Murphy to the Kardashian Jenner Klant and Murphy brought
4:20
Speaker 1: a reality.
4:20
Speaker 2: Show pitch to Kim, and Kim.
4:23
Speaker 1: Actually reportedly started texting during the presentation.
4:27
Speaker 2: Oh she got bored.
4:29
Speaker 1: And after Murphy nervously finished, Mama, dear, Chris Jenner delivered
4:33
Speaker 1: the line that would birth this catastrophe, and mother said, quote,
4:38
Speaker 1: that was really good, sweetie, but you should.
4:41
Speaker 2: Write a role for Kim unquote.
4:43
Speaker 1: I also want to preface this by saying, I grew
4:45
Speaker 1: up watching Keeping Up with our Kardashians. I don't watch
4:48
Speaker 1: it anymore, but even recently likes. As close as two
4:52
Speaker 1: years ago, I was watching it with my mom and
4:54
Speaker 1: my sisters.
4:55
Speaker 2: It was our guilty pleasure. So I just want to
4:57
Speaker 2: bake that into this.
4:58
Speaker 1: I know reality Kim Kardashian and her family and all that,
5:02
Speaker 1: so I feel like I can I can gather some
5:06
Speaker 1: info and give some constructive criticism, but also appreciate where
5:11
Speaker 1: she's come from, all her quarrels, all her privilege, you know,
5:16
Speaker 1: all that stuff. So this isn't just like a shit
5:19
Speaker 1: on Titan video. I'm I definitely take some guilty pleasure
5:23
Speaker 1: in watching shows like this, all right. So when Murphy
5:25
Speaker 1: had to go back to the drag board and pitch
5:27
Speaker 1: the legal drama, Kim agreed immediately, and her reasoning, as
5:32
Speaker 1: Murphy quoted, was quote because it's iconic, and I like
5:36
Speaker 1: iconic shit, which like, I have no notes for that.
5:42
Speaker 2: I think, I think that's fine.
5:43
Speaker 1: And the concept was supposedly inspired by Laura Wasser Weser Wasser,
5:48
Speaker 1: I don't know, don't sue me, you know, because she's
5:50
Speaker 1: one of Hollywood's ultimate divorce lawyers and Kim's own attorney
5:55
Speaker 1: who became a consulting producer on the show, which makes
5:58
Speaker 1: me think she's not real. Okay, she's not a real lawyer.
6:01
Speaker 1: Don't sue me.
6:02
Speaker 2: I'm joking. This is a joke.
6:04
Speaker 1: This is a joke, Okay, but I'm just saying that
6:07
Speaker 1: because there's like no real law in the I don't
6:13
Speaker 1: think there's no moment where there was a courtroom. There
6:18
Speaker 1: was like a two, like a second. I don't might
6:21
Speaker 1: have to fact check me on that, but I don't
6:22
Speaker 1: think that we ever got to a courtroom.
6:24
Speaker 2: Or anything like.
6:25
Speaker 1: They just always sit around the table and like talk
6:28
Speaker 1: and finish each other's sentences like it's Hannah Montana, like
6:31
Speaker 1: it's a kid's Disney show, Like you know what, we
6:36
Speaker 1: don't like the way you're talking to us, So we're
6:39
Speaker 1: gonna sue your ass.
6:41
Speaker 3: Your favorite case of the past ten years.
6:44
Speaker 2: I kid you not, and I'll get more into it.
6:45
Speaker 2: I keep bouncing around.
6:47
Speaker 1: But anyway, so in December of twenty twenty three, Hulu
6:50
Speaker 1: bought it and they had a straight to series order,
6:52
Speaker 1: so that means no pilot, no testing. They were just
6:56
Speaker 1: like Kim Kardashian and Ryan Murphy. Here's seventy million dollars,
7:03
Speaker 1: give me a few episodes, Let's go, and Kim earning
7:06
Speaker 1: over ten million for her dual role as lead actress
7:10
Speaker 1: and executive producer. Nice pay day, Kim, I just know
7:13
Speaker 1: Chris Jenner locked that in for her.
7:15
Speaker 2: I just know it.
7:16
Speaker 1: But Kim plays a successful lawyer who presumably attended law
7:20
Speaker 1: school and passed the bar meanwhile in reality, and this
7:24
Speaker 1: is kind of the irony in it is that Kim
7:26
Speaker 1: began studying actual law in twenty eighteen through California's Law
7:30
Speaker 1: Office Study Program, which is an apprenticeship available only in
7:33
Speaker 1: four states, and she has no actual college degree, being
7:37
Speaker 1: fifteen credits shy of graduating, but props to her for
7:41
Speaker 1: taking on law. Nonetheless, before taking the actual California bar,
7:44
Speaker 1: apprentices must pass the baby Bar, which is notoriously difficult
7:49
Speaker 1: with a twenty seven percent pass rate, and after three
7:52
Speaker 1: failed attempts, she actually passed in December of twenty twenty one, which,
7:57
Speaker 1: like props, I have nothing to diss there, Like, good
8:00
Speaker 1: for her for keep going, keep on going on that,
8:02
Speaker 1: you know, good for her for continuing that that journey
8:05
Speaker 1: and allegedly, she studied over five thousand hours over six years,
8:08
Speaker 1: completing her apprenticeship in May twenty twenty five prompts not
8:13
Speaker 1: for me okay, And on November third and twenty twenty five,
8:16
Speaker 1: one day before All's Fair premiered, Kim appeared in Vanity Fairs.
8:20
Speaker 2: I detect her test series and this this made me
8:25
Speaker 2: laugh a little bit. I'm not gonna lie.
8:26
Speaker 1: She admitted using chat gpt for legal advice during her
8:31
Speaker 1: studies and tests.
8:32
Speaker 3: I use it for legal advice, so when I am
8:35
Speaker 3: needing to know the answer to a question, I'll take
8:38
Speaker 3: a picture and snap it and like put it in there.
8:41
Speaker 3: They're always wrong. It has made me fail tests series
8:46
Speaker 3: all the time, and she.
8:47
Speaker 1: Called chat GPT in this interview her toxic friend, while
8:51
Speaker 1: a polygraph confirmed she was telling the truth. So the
8:55
Speaker 1: timing couldn't be more perfect. I don't know why that's
8:59
Speaker 1: something you'd want to but this worries me for the
9:02
Speaker 1: lawyers of the future, or just any job for the future.
9:06
Speaker 1: Are they like doctors using chatchipet for their tests? Like
9:10
Speaker 1: I I swear to God if I go to a
9:12
Speaker 1: hospital and I see my doctor when I'm getting emergency
9:15
Speaker 1: surgery on my insides or something. Go to his phone
9:18
Speaker 1: and talk into it, like how to perform it. Just
9:22
Speaker 1: leave me, Just leave me, okay. But in July twenty
9:26
Speaker 1: twenty five, Kim would take the California bar exam, and
9:29
Speaker 1: on October twenty fourth, on Graham Norton, she confidently states
9:32
Speaker 1: I will be qualified in two weeks. And on November fourth,
9:36
Speaker 1: All's Fair premieres, and on November seventh, Kim posts glamorous
9:40
Speaker 1: beach photos, looking confident as ever as sho should, and
9:43
Speaker 1: on November eighth, she says, well, I'm not a lawyer yet.
9:46
Speaker 1: I just play a very well dressed one on TV.
9:50
Speaker 1: That you do, Kim, that you do. And then November
9:52
Speaker 1: tenth comes and Kim rants on TikTok that maybe four
9:56
Speaker 1: psychics told her she'd pass.
10:00
Speaker 2: I can't make this up.
10:01
Speaker 1: I have the receipts, all right, and she says, quote,
10:04
Speaker 1: they're all full of shit, But you would do this
10:06
Speaker 1: at her mother's seventieth birthday party and would also call
10:09
Speaker 1: them pathological liars. I'd say it's probably about ninety percent
10:15
Speaker 1: of psychics, it seems, it seems. But to blame failing
10:20
Speaker 1: your bar exam on psychics, Kim, we need to take
10:25
Speaker 1: some responsibility. Okay, we need to take a little responsibility,
10:28
Speaker 1: all right, ask chat Chept about responsibility. I'll come up
10:32
Speaker 1: with some with some good stuff for you. But let's
10:34
Speaker 1: get into the production. Okay, let's get into the show.
10:36
Speaker 1: We have Kim Kardashian as a Laura Grant. I just
10:41
Speaker 1: know she picked her own name a Laura, and I
10:44
Speaker 1: know she asked chat Cheapt. And then we have Glenn Close,
10:48
Speaker 1: love Glenn Close by the way as Dina Standish and
10:52
Speaker 1: she has three Oscar dominations, by the way, and the
10:55
Speaker 1: lovely Sarah Paulson as Carrington Lane she's also an Emmy winner.
10:59
Speaker 1: And now Watts who's amazing as well as Liberty Ronson
11:03
Speaker 1: and has had two Oscar nominations, and Nissi nash Bets
11:07
Speaker 1: as Emerald Green who's also an Emmy winner and also fantastic.
11:11
Speaker 1: This cast is amazing, like the cast's amazing, and even
11:14
Speaker 1: the guest stars and stuff.
11:16
Speaker 2: Like it's there.
11:17
Speaker 1: But then there's Kim in the center and she just
11:20
Speaker 1: kind of takes a hold of everybody and just kind
11:23
Speaker 1: of brings them all down to her level and say
11:29
Speaker 1: and not to mention, and let's not blame Kim for
11:31
Speaker 1: all of this. Okay, she's trying her best and there
11:34
Speaker 1: are some moments where she does an okay job. The script, Ryan,
11:40
Speaker 1: what what was that?
11:43
Speaker 2: The writing?
11:46
Speaker 1: Like?
11:47
Speaker 2: Literally, Disney Channel shows have better writing.
11:50
Speaker 1: And what's even more slightly embarrassing is that there were
11:53
Speaker 1: seventeen executive producers, including which now looking back, just makes
11:57
Speaker 1: more sense Chris Jenner, she was an exact a producer
12:00
Speaker 1: and Laura Wasser herself the lawyer. So let's get into
12:04
Speaker 1: the episodes. Okay, let's walk through. Why was this?
12:07
Speaker 2: Why do you have such a undebt against a show?
12:09
Speaker 2: What was it about? What happened? How could how could
12:11
Speaker 2: it be that bad? I'll tell you.
12:14
Speaker 1: Come close and listen, okay, because the show opens with
12:18
Speaker 1: a flashback to ten years ago immediately where we needs
12:22
Speaker 1: we just discussed Laura Grant, Liberty ronson Emerald Green and
12:25
Speaker 1: Carrington Lane. And also the way the show opens, and
12:29
Speaker 1: the way every single episode opens is like a trailer
12:33
Speaker 1: of itself, if that makes sense. It's like I thought
12:36
Speaker 1: I was just watching the trailer for the show when
12:38
Speaker 1: the show opened, because it was so like disjointed, and
12:43
Speaker 1: I thought I was getting more an I can't even
12:46
Speaker 1: explain it. And the way it was shot, it was
12:48
Speaker 1: like it was shot on a glambot, like the angles
12:51
Speaker 1: are crazy and the zoom ins and the anyway, so
12:57
Speaker 1: a Laura and Liberty are breaking free from their tradition
13:00
Speaker 1: patriarchal law firm with the blessing of their mentor Dita Standish,
13:04
Speaker 1: which is Glenn Close. And it's like two seconds, it's
13:08
Speaker 1: that's four that's probably about four seconds. They're like, I
13:11
Speaker 1: hate working with men. I know, I hate working with men.
13:14
Speaker 1: We should make our own Glenn Close comes in. I
13:17
Speaker 1: knew you guys wanted to make your own law firm.
13:19
Speaker 2: That's it. That's it. I'm like, who is what is
13:22
Speaker 2: going on? What is happening? And then you get to
13:24
Speaker 2: just get some old men that are laughing.
13:26
Speaker 1: Like, aha, were men We like food and hate women
13:29
Speaker 1: and like beer and hate that women have to work
13:33
Speaker 1: it out. It's kind of it's realistic though. It's realistic,
13:38
Speaker 1: and I don't hate on the fact that they want
13:39
Speaker 1: their own women law firm.
13:41
Speaker 2: I like, that's fine, I'm but it's just the way
13:44
Speaker 2: they go about it.
13:45
Speaker 1: It's just so campy, ridiculous that it's like this could
13:50
Speaker 1: have been serious and it could have been really cool
13:53
Speaker 1: like a criminal minds CSI, which, by the way, Anthony
13:56
Speaker 1: Hemingway directed some of the episodes, and he also directed
14:00
Speaker 1: CSI and True Blood, which makes sense because this show
14:04
Speaker 1: is shot like CSI meets keeping up with their Kardashians,
14:10
Speaker 1: shot on a glambot. That's what it is, okay, But anyway,
14:13
Speaker 1: the themes are like kind of there, but it all
14:17
Speaker 1: just feels like it's it's it's leaning so much into
14:22
Speaker 1: camp and parody but it's not. But it's not like
14:25
Speaker 1: you think this is the longest SNL skitch you've ever watched,
14:28
Speaker 1: but you realize, oh no, they're serious. So all three
14:31
Speaker 1: women get together and they're starting and all female boutique
14:34
Speaker 1: divorce firm. Okay, and Dina lets them poach one more
14:39
Speaker 1: lawyer and they choose Emerald over the homely Carrington, which
14:43
Speaker 1: is Sarah Paulson. And she did a fantastic job with
14:47
Speaker 1: the horrific script that she had all right, but feeling
14:51
Speaker 1: rejected and humiliated, Carrington vows revenge that will fuel the
14:55
Speaker 1: entire series, but not really like she just shows up.
15:00
Speaker 1: Sometimes I feel like we should have had a lot
15:02
Speaker 1: more of her.
15:03
Speaker 2: But we don't get enough of Sarah.
15:05
Speaker 1: But now flash forward after about ten seconds two present day,
15:09
Speaker 1: and the show immediately establishes its priorities, and that is
15:13
Speaker 1: fashion over function. These people change their outfits eighty sixty
15:21
Speaker 1: thousand times per episode, and it's just it's mad, it's crazy.
15:25
Speaker 1: It's madness. Are they serving on a silver platter? Yes,
15:28
Speaker 1: But we're in a law firm.
15:31
Speaker 2: What's happening right now? It really makes sense.
15:33
Speaker 1: And the lawyers sit around in like furs, having classist
15:37
Speaker 1: chats where they literally disparage people who start out working
15:41
Speaker 1: at gas stations.
15:42
Speaker 2: Nice, Ryan, Nice.
15:45
Speaker 1: And every episode has like a case or two cases,
15:48
Speaker 1: so it kind of plays like a criminal Mind CSI
15:51
Speaker 1: Gray's Anatomy type episode, where every episode's the same, where
15:55
Speaker 1: there's like a patient or there's a case and they
15:58
Speaker 1: solve the case. But where it doesn't make sense is
16:02
Speaker 1: that these cases are solved in like a day or
16:07
Speaker 1: like less than a week. Law doesn't work like that.
16:10
Speaker 1: I'm not a lawyer, didn't go to law school and
16:13
Speaker 1: I didn't pass the bar, you know, especially divorces, especially
16:17
Speaker 1: the messy rich divorces.
16:19
Speaker 2: It's just it's anyway, it's just so bad.
16:22
Speaker 1: And the fact that a lawyer was working on this,
16:24
Speaker 1: a divorce lawyer was working on the show consulting.
16:27
Speaker 2: I'm just like, what the is going on?
16:29
Speaker 1: And all the would you know? But the first case
16:31
Speaker 1: involves Grace Lee played by Grace Gummer. They couldn't even
16:35
Speaker 1: come up with a different name for this actress. And
16:37
Speaker 1: she's a kept woman divorcing her tech billionaire husband despite
16:41
Speaker 1: a prenup that will leave her with nothing. And when
16:44
Speaker 1: she shows up crying and head to toe couture, Emerald
16:48
Speaker 1: looks at her tearful client and delivers the line that
16:50
Speaker 1: becomes the show's entire thesis.
16:52
Speaker 2: Which is gloves. I'm just be honest.
16:55
Speaker 1: Her line deliveries are fantastic. I really, I really appreciate
17:00
Speaker 1: her in the show. Okay, Ni's she's amazing. But the
17:03
Speaker 1: show just like prioritizes high glam, expensive fashion over any
17:09
Speaker 1: sort of emotional reality. So don't expect to get attached
17:13
Speaker 1: to any of these characters because you won't, but you
17:16
Speaker 1: will probably appreciate the outfits. But Grace, the divorce reveals
17:20
Speaker 1: she's leaving her husband for another woman. Gasp, it's called karma,
17:25
Speaker 1: specifically the woman that he brought into their marriage.
17:27
Speaker 2: For threesomes a gasp gasp in. The firm needs dirt.
17:31
Speaker 1: So Emerald trails the husband first, he frequents a dominatrix,
17:36
Speaker 1: and the back and forth between the dominatrix and the
17:39
Speaker 1: girls when they first meet is crazy. She's like, Hey, let.
17:44
Speaker 2: Me guess you can't be wives.
17:46
Speaker 1: Because they often never come in twos and you don't
17:51
Speaker 1: seem like you'd like dominatrixes.
17:53
Speaker 2: So you must be lawyers. Jella's wives rarely coming pairs.
17:57
Speaker 2: You must be lawyers. It's like nobody talks that. Also,
18:00
Speaker 2: how did you come to that conclusion?
18:03
Speaker 1: They could be asking for directions for all you know,
18:05
Speaker 1: but they use this information that he goes to a
18:07
Speaker 1: dominatrix to force a settlement, and case closed in roughly
18:11
Speaker 1: eight minutes of screen time.
18:13
Speaker 2: I shit you not, It's done and done like.
18:17
Speaker 1: Basically same day, NBD, dude, next case, let's go. And
18:22
Speaker 1: the second case is even more absurd because Judith Light
18:26
Speaker 1: plays Sheila Baskin, who calls Liberty in a panic from
18:30
Speaker 1: New York and at the moment, she's locked herself in
18:32
Speaker 1: her bedroom after her husband caught her cheating, so Liberty
18:36
Speaker 1: naturally hops on a private jet because she's rich. Everyone's
18:41
Speaker 1: rich here, everyone's disgustingly filthy. Got rich right, and flies
18:45
Speaker 1: across the country and tells Sheila that the forty million
18:50
Speaker 1: dollars in jewelry her husband gave her is all she
18:53
Speaker 1: needs because it was gifted in California, where she was married,
18:58
Speaker 1: making it legally hers. If they divorce, she's got money
19:01
Speaker 1: still because he gifted her jewelry worth.
19:03
Speaker 2: Forty million dollars. Same not same.
19:08
Speaker 1: So they jointly pack up the jewels from the apartment
19:11
Speaker 1: and that's it. It's just an entire cross country trip
19:14
Speaker 1: that literally could have just been an email. She could
19:17
Speaker 1: have been like, girl, just grab all the jewelry he
19:20
Speaker 1: gifted you in California and get the out of there, xoxo.
19:25
Speaker 1: Gossip girl, you know, and then you save yourself like
19:29
Speaker 1: a twenty thousand dollars flight or whatever. But meanwhile, a
19:32
Speaker 1: Laura kim Kay seems happily married to Chase, who's obviously
19:38
Speaker 1: a younger NFL player. I feel like she also got
19:40
Speaker 1: to choose who she was married to, and he gives
19:43
Speaker 1: her a ring that belonged to Elizabeth Taylor for their
19:46
Speaker 1: five year anniversary, but then completely out of nowhere. Later
19:50
Speaker 1: in the episode, he announces he wants a divorce, saying, quote,
19:55
Speaker 1: your success makes me feel small. The NFL player whose
20:03
Speaker 1: mega rich feels small because his mega rich lawyer wife
20:08
Speaker 1: makes a lot of money to the patriarch, but with
20:13
Speaker 1: just a little cherry on the cake. He also reveals
20:16
Speaker 1: he's seeing someone else gut punch you know that guy.
20:21
Speaker 1: And meanwhile, this whole interaction watching Kim act in like
20:26
Speaker 1: a serious moment, is I feel like something everyone should experience.
20:32
Speaker 2: You want a divorce? What are you talking about? She
20:36
Speaker 2: can only really do one or two facial expressions.
20:39
Speaker 3: Big life is just too rich for that little Philly kid.
20:43
Speaker 1: And the episode ends with the shocking reveal that his
20:46
Speaker 1: affair is with Milan, who is which I forgot to mention,
20:51
Speaker 1: is a Laura's own receptionist. Gasp, gasp, He's sleeping with
20:56
Speaker 1: her receptionist, Chris Cross. What's happening? But basically I didn't
21:02
Speaker 1: care about anyone in this first episode. I was like, Okay,
21:06
Speaker 1: I was too busy giggling. And maybe that's a good
21:10
Speaker 1: reason to watch the show if you want a good giggle,
21:12
Speaker 1: if you want like a drinking game kind of show
21:14
Speaker 1: with how many times Kim doesn't move her face, you.
21:18
Speaker 2: Get black, you might die. Actually, maybe don't do that.
21:20
Speaker 2: But yeah, there's just not a lot of substance.
21:22
Speaker 1: And then the cases resolve so easily they might as
21:25
Speaker 1: well not even exist.
21:26
Speaker 2: So don't watch it.
21:27
Speaker 1: If you're like really into law and you're like cool
21:30
Speaker 1: a law show, don't go watch Law and Order or something. Okay,
21:33
Speaker 1: But if you like keeping up with the Kardashians and
21:36
Speaker 1: you like Troll two, I think this might be the
21:38
Speaker 1: show for you. But that brings us to our second episode.
21:41
Speaker 1: So this episode opens with a Laura trying to conflict
21:45
Speaker 1: out all the best lawyers by booking consultations so chase
21:49
Speaker 1: her NFL soon to be ex husband can't hire them.
21:54
Speaker 1: But of course a Laura forgets one lawyer and that
21:57
Speaker 1: is her arch nemesist Carrington. That Lane Sarah Poulson, and
22:02
Speaker 1: when she finally calls Carrington, Carrington answers with it. She
22:06
Speaker 1: has all the best lines, and by the best lines,
22:07
Speaker 1: I mean the worst lines, but she somehow finds a
22:10
Speaker 1: way to deliver them in the best way.
22:13
Speaker 2: She says, how are you holding up, you poor discarded crag?
22:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ryan Murphy, fantastic vocabulary.
22:22
Speaker 2: But anyway, a.
22:23
Speaker 1: Laura's too late because Chase already hired Carrington, dang it.
22:28
Speaker 1: And then we moved to this week's client or this
22:31
Speaker 1: today's client, because the cases get solved in a day,
22:34
Speaker 1: and that is Deandrew Barber, an inventor whose husband put
22:38
Speaker 1: failing companies in her name while she created products and
22:43
Speaker 1: now she's drowning in debt from his secret business failures.
22:47
Speaker 1: And the firm the three women who finish each other's sentences,
22:52
Speaker 1: by the way, which is so it takes any sort
22:54
Speaker 1: of serious moment, which this moment is very serious, by
22:58
Speaker 1: the way, because something's about to happen that's horrific. It
23:01
Speaker 1: just takes away any sort of seriousness if adults are
23:05
Speaker 1: finishing each other's sentences, like we can't help you, but
23:09
Speaker 1: we wish we could, but you are freaked.
23:12
Speaker 2: So the firm, the three.
23:14
Speaker 1: Girls tell her that even if they win, she'll still
23:17
Speaker 1: look complicit in his con end quote this hell will
23:21
Speaker 1: never be over unquote. So that's when Deandra calmly steps
23:25
Speaker 1: out onto the balcony behind the three lawyers for a smoke.
23:31
Speaker 1: Can im go, babe, But then without warning, just jumps
23:37
Speaker 1: and she's on a very tall building. I have to
23:39
Speaker 1: be careful with what I say because YouTube doesn't like this,
23:42
Speaker 1: but I'm talking about a fake show by the way YouTube,
23:45
Speaker 1: But you know, very serious thing. The way the three
23:52
Speaker 1: lawyers react is not how a human being would react.
24:00
Speaker 1: Mostly Kim. Mostly Kim. She's in the middle, and she's like.
24:07
Speaker 2: Oh my god, what she just jumped? And then the
24:14
Speaker 2: next scene cuts to all of them drinking champagne in
24:17
Speaker 2: a private jet, which you know, knowing Ryan Murphy, he's
24:22
Speaker 2: probably like just one of the parallels.
24:25
Speaker 1: Of you know, somebody doing the worst thing they could
24:28
Speaker 1: ever do to themselves and then rich people just not caring.
24:31
Speaker 2: It's like, and he.
24:33
Speaker 1: Never said that, but I just I just know he'd
24:34
Speaker 1: come up with some bullshit way to be like when
24:37
Speaker 1: somebody actually says, hey probably should have taken that a
24:40
Speaker 1: little more seriously, and he'd be like, ahh, that's the parallels.
24:43
Speaker 1: Probablah shut up. It's like Ryan Murphy like Quentin Tarantina
24:46
Speaker 1: with feet. He just needs there to be just ridiculous
24:50
Speaker 1: drama that doesn't even make sense. But like I said,
24:53
Speaker 1: it switches to them on a private jet. I'll be
24:55
Speaker 1: it talking about what just happened, but also just like
24:58
Speaker 1: moving on and being like, let's go to an auction
25:01
Speaker 1: for jewelry. And this was from the last episode's case
25:04
Speaker 1: with the older lady who was cheating on her husband,
25:06
Speaker 1: who were supposed to like like, even though she cheated
25:08
Speaker 1: on her husband, it's just about like women getting money
25:12
Speaker 1: from their husbands even though they are sometimes in the wrong,
25:14
Speaker 1: and it's like.
25:15
Speaker 2: What is it, Like, who's relating to this?
25:18
Speaker 1: People with like over eight zeros in their in their
25:23
Speaker 1: bank account can like look at this and be like,
25:25
Speaker 1: oh same, you know who's this four? But anyway, at
25:30
Speaker 1: the auction, they encounter Carrington Sarah Paulson, who greets them
25:33
Speaker 1: with a barrage of offensive nicknames, calling Alora mayor mcckhead jeeves,
25:38
Speaker 1: which is kind of funny, I'm not gonna lie, and
25:40
Speaker 1: Liberty as Diane Sawyer and Emerald as Lola Falana and
25:45
Speaker 1: Dana as George Washington low dig and then back in
25:49
Speaker 1: La Emerald investigates Chase and discovers the Milan affair, the
25:52
Speaker 1: one with a Laura's assistant, and during the scene, the
25:56
Speaker 1: costume department reached new heights of absurdity because a Laura
26:01
Speaker 1: literally looks.
26:02
Speaker 2: Like she's starring in the Dune movie.
26:04
Speaker 1: I believe more than half the budget, probably two thirds
26:07
Speaker 1: of the budget went to the costume department. I think,
26:10
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure. And this is when they deliver the
26:13
Speaker 1: bombshell about Milan, whose car naturally has a license plate
26:17
Speaker 1: that says Milan just in case you didn't know it
26:21
Speaker 1: was her car, and Dina, channeling her maternal energy, instructs
26:25
Speaker 1: A Laura to get mad and seek revenge, and A
26:28
Speaker 1: Laura's response is yes, mother, I just.
26:31
Speaker 2: Really knows how to make a meme. You know.
26:33
Speaker 1: It's like the entire show exists to be clipped for TikTok.
26:38
Speaker 2: I believe it is.
26:39
Speaker 1: And in one of the episode's most bizarre sequences, A
26:42
Speaker 1: Laura fantasizes about destroying Milan's car with a baseball bat
26:46
Speaker 1: while wearing a flowing yellow dress, recreating Beyonce's hold up
26:50
Speaker 1: video shot for shot, which is so weird. Why I
26:56
Speaker 1: really feel like this entire show was made primarily for
26:59
Speaker 1: the purpose of letting Kim wear all the stuff in
27:02
Speaker 1: her closet. She hasn't had an occasion to wear it
27:04
Speaker 1: for yet, you know what I mean, dress in your
27:06
Speaker 1: closet You're like, I don't even know where I'm gonna wear that.
27:08
Speaker 1: She just made a show, and she's like, I'll just
27:09
Speaker 1: wear all those outfits on the show.
27:11
Speaker 2: Yeh she does.
27:12
Speaker 1: But anyway, this lemonade homage turns out to just be
27:16
Speaker 1: a daydream, of course, and in reality, she confronts Milan peacefully,
27:20
Speaker 1: and Milan delivers an absolutely unhinged explanation for why she's
27:24
Speaker 1: sleeping with Kim's or a Laura's husband, and she says
27:28
Speaker 1: she slept with Chase because she wanted to be a Laura, saying, quote.
27:33
Speaker 2: I got to be the star rather than the moth
27:36
Speaker 2: circling your flame. Ryan, What the fuck is that?
27:40
Speaker 1: But I also just think like Kim is really living
27:42
Speaker 1: her fantasy, like she's not a lawyer yet, but she's like,
27:45
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play the best lawyer ever and everyone wants
27:49
Speaker 1: to be me. She's just living what she wants to live,
27:51
Speaker 1: and you know what, if she can, she can whatever
27:54
Speaker 1: I would want to say. But then comes the predictable
27:57
Speaker 1: soap oper twist at the very end of the episode,
28:00
Speaker 1: and that is Milan holding her belly like this.
28:08
Speaker 2: And saying she's pregnant with Chase's baby.
28:11
Speaker 3: What gas.
28:13
Speaker 2: Wait, never saw that coming.
28:14
Speaker 1: And that brings us to episode three, And this episode
28:17
Speaker 1: opens with peak Kim Kardashian territory, and again it just
28:21
Speaker 1: opens on the weirdest thing. It's like we're halfway through
28:24
Speaker 1: an episode and you just you just bump, you just
28:26
Speaker 1: bump into the episode where you're like, what the fuck.
28:28
Speaker 2: Is going on? What the fuck is going on?
28:31
Speaker 1: Like they're just having a conversation, but it's not like
28:33
Speaker 1: at the beginning of any episode, you know, like have
28:36
Speaker 1: some b roll, have some music, but it's just like
28:39
Speaker 1: boom talking about our medical procedures to stay hot. You know,
28:44
Speaker 1: it was like, what the fuck are what is this?
28:47
Speaker 1: But anyway, the lawyers are sitting around trading their favorite
28:50
Speaker 1: cosmetic procedures and anti aging secrets, discussing aging and gravity
28:55
Speaker 1: and public opinion, and to be honest, Kim's in her
29:00
Speaker 1: element here and I feel like she was not acting
29:04
Speaker 1: here and it actually felt genuine from the years I've
29:06
Speaker 1: watched her on reality television, which I know she's acting
29:09
Speaker 1: to a certain degree on there, but like it felt
29:11
Speaker 1: like that. I was like, oh, this actually feels like
29:14
Speaker 1: the most natural and I do believe she was just
29:16
Speaker 1: actually talking about procedures she's actually done. So she was
29:20
Speaker 1: just like, I'll improvvis Ryan, I get sam and sperm
29:23
Speaker 1: shot into my vase. I get my ass vibrated for
29:27
Speaker 1: eight hours every three days, and then everybody else kind
29:29
Speaker 1: of talks about what procedures they get, and at the
29:32
Speaker 1: end they kind.
29:33
Speaker 2: Of do this little thing where it's.
29:35
Speaker 1: Like, well, you know, it's about doing what you want
29:38
Speaker 1: for yourself and just doing what makes you happy and
29:41
Speaker 1: just keeping the public happy. Looks at camera, breaks fourth wall.
29:45
Speaker 1: They didn't actually do that, but you know, it's just
29:46
Speaker 1: like a little shade to the people that judge her.
29:49
Speaker 1: I'm assuming mostly her forgetting those procedures, and you know,
29:53
Speaker 1: I'm impartial. Get whatever you want, you know. But again,
29:56
Speaker 1: like when you're an actor, it's hard to watch an
29:58
Speaker 1: actor when they their face. You know, you got to
30:02
Speaker 1: mention her ass.
30:03
Speaker 2: Dude.
30:04
Speaker 1: Half the shots off every episode are just like her ass.
30:08
Speaker 1: I think at least that's what I was focused on.
30:10
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm no better than a man, all right. In
30:12
Speaker 1: even one of the episodes, and I can't remember if
30:14
Speaker 1: it was this episode or the next one, she's in
30:16
Speaker 1: a suit with a thong hanging out of her back.
30:20
Speaker 2: Of the suit.
30:20
Speaker 1: It's crazy, but I know she's just relishing in it,
30:24
Speaker 1: and I was kind of like, she didn't give a
30:26
Speaker 1: back and it's.
30:27
Speaker 2: Kind I'm kind of for it. Whatever.
30:29
Speaker 1: But anyway, in this moment, most genuine acting in the show,
30:33
Speaker 1: and we find out there's an obvious purpose to this
30:36
Speaker 1: just weird conversation, and that's because it's a bit about
30:41
Speaker 1: the episode's case. Because the episode's case is about client
30:45
Speaker 1: Leanne played by Jessica Simpson, in what clearly is meant
30:50
Speaker 1: to be a Pamela Anderson story, because Leanne married rockstar
30:55
Speaker 1: Tommy Keith, which is Rick Springfield. And if you're not
30:58
Speaker 1: getting Pamela Anderson Tommy Lee from Leanne and Tommy, you're
31:02
Speaker 1: not You're not in the pop culture. Man, it'd be
31:06
Speaker 1: hard to miss. I don't really know the purpose of
31:08
Speaker 1: this either, but when Leanne was about to turn forty
31:11
Speaker 1: years old, Tommy began berating her appearance after getting a
31:16
Speaker 1: you know what, she went downstairs for him, if you
31:18
Speaker 1: know what I mean, which I never wanted to see.
31:21
Speaker 1: Thanks Ryan, you've been sick. And also, I'm sorry, but
31:25
Speaker 1: Jessica's resting face during the scene after the you know
31:28
Speaker 1: What is just like, and this is supposed to be
31:30
Speaker 1: like before her surgery, but she Jessica Simpson has clearly
31:33
Speaker 1: had surgery too, so it's again, it's just another botox
31:36
Speaker 1: face where.
31:37
Speaker 2: She's like and I'm like, oh, and that's hard. That's hard, man.
31:44
Speaker 1: But after this, her husband forces her to undergo twenty
31:47
Speaker 1: seven plastic surgeries from a doctor known as the Butcher
31:52
Speaker 1: of Beverly Hills, which, like, this guy's a rich rock start,
31:56
Speaker 1: why would he go to budget Butcher of Beverly Hills
31:59
Speaker 1: if he wants as well to look mega hot or whatever.
32:02
Speaker 1: It's just weird, but can cradactions like the Butcher of
32:05
Speaker 1: beverla hell, I thought he lost.
32:07
Speaker 2: His life out.
32:08
Speaker 1: You know when kids have like a sleepover, like with
32:11
Speaker 1: your cousins or your best friends or whatever, and they
32:13
Speaker 1: get together and they make like a dance routine together
32:16
Speaker 1: or like a little sketch together.
32:17
Speaker 2: I used to do that all the time. That's what
32:19
Speaker 2: the show feels like.
32:21
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm watching kids just what they think
32:24
Speaker 1: adults are like, and what they think being a lawyer
32:28
Speaker 1: would be like, and like just a woman in general,
32:31
Speaker 1: and I'm just like, what is it?
32:34
Speaker 2: Good job, sweetie, Yay? Yeah, okay, let's go.
32:39
Speaker 1: Get some kids happy meals after this. But meanwhile, after
32:42
Speaker 1: all this, Emerald discovers another layer to Chases in fidelity,
32:46
Speaker 1: and that is that he was also sleeping with Maria Transwoman,
32:50
Speaker 1: a lady of the night, if you know what I.
32:51
Speaker 2: Mean, played by Harry Neff.
32:54
Speaker 1: And here's where the show kind of becomes a bit offensive, okay,
32:59
Speaker 1: and that is because a Laura Kim Kardashian already knew Chase,
33:03
Speaker 1: her soon to be ex husband, cheated with multiple CIS women.
33:07
Speaker 1: But it's only upon learning about the trans woman, albeit
33:11
Speaker 1: she is a lady at the night or whatever, but
33:14
Speaker 1: she doesn't know what's going on with the other SIS
33:15
Speaker 1: women that she feels the need to get an STI test.
33:19
Speaker 1: So it's like you didn't get one after you knew
33:21
Speaker 1: he was cheating Onney with other people.
33:23
Speaker 2: It's just like, what is the need that? Like, Ryan,
33:25
Speaker 2: are you living under that boulder? What the what?
33:28
Speaker 1: So the show just overall has kind of zero self
33:31
Speaker 1: awareness because it's just rich people being.
33:34
Speaker 2: Like Nana anamoo boo. We're all rich.
33:36
Speaker 1: We have private jazz, you know. And in the most
33:41
Speaker 1: inexplicable plot development yet, a Laura and Milan, her assistant
33:46
Speaker 1: who's sleeping with her husband, go to get tested together
33:50
Speaker 1: for sdis And why you ask because the doctor supposedly
33:55
Speaker 1: has no appointments for new patients until twenty four Kim
34:01
Speaker 1: Kardashian says, or A Laura says, twenty forty what what? Like?
34:07
Speaker 1: You know that Kim has never waited for an appointment
34:09
Speaker 1: in her life for anything, So she's like, it takes
34:11
Speaker 1: like fifteen years for normal people that get appointments right anyway,
34:17
Speaker 1: but the show needs this bizarre bonding moment where Milan
34:21
Speaker 1: reveals that Chase likes to use strap ons, you know,
34:28
Speaker 1: and then and then Kim A Laura's like what? And
34:32
Speaker 1: then we get a Glenn bought zoom in. And then
34:36
Speaker 1: during divorce negotiations, Dina tries to weaponize Chase's relationship with
34:40
Speaker 1: Maria as blackmail material. And then Dina goes back and
34:44
Speaker 1: forth with Carrington about A Laura's divorce and everything, and
34:49
Speaker 1: then Carrington threatens to eat A Laura's frozen embryos with
34:53
Speaker 1: a one steak sauce unless A Laura gives Chase everything
34:57
Speaker 1: he wants before calling herself a greedy little pig bottom.
35:01
Speaker 1: They just give Sarah Paulson the most vile things to
35:03
Speaker 1: say in this show, and I think she should be
35:06
Speaker 1: the pregnant one in the show because she delivers. And
35:09
Speaker 1: then we cut to the firm winning LeeAnne a forty
35:11
Speaker 1: two million dollar settlement, you know, in a day or two,
35:15
Speaker 1: as you do, but that's not enough for her, and
35:17
Speaker 1: she actually follows Tommy and his twenty two year old
35:20
Speaker 1: date to a restaurant and throws sulfuric acid on his
35:24
Speaker 1: face while screaming, now you need the surgeon, and Jessica
35:29
Speaker 1: Simpson gets to do a fantastic maniacal cackle and then
35:36
Speaker 1: it is dragged away by the police seemingly probably goes
35:39
Speaker 1: to jail for a long time.
35:40
Speaker 2: I hope it was.
35:41
Speaker 1: Worth it, but I mean, you know, I feel bad
35:42
Speaker 1: for the character. It's like she was meant to get
35:44
Speaker 1: all the surgery. And then there's parallels with just women
35:46
Speaker 1: in general and how we all feel we need to never.
35:49
Speaker 2: Age and all that.
35:50
Speaker 1: I get it, I get it, I get it, you know,
35:52
Speaker 1: but it's just so over the top where it's like
35:55
Speaker 1: you're kind of making fun of it at that point, Ryan, Ryan.
35:58
Speaker 2: Do you know who women are? Do you know how
35:59
Speaker 2: we work.
36:01
Speaker 1: You know, we think about throwing the sulfuric acid, but
36:04
Speaker 1: most most of us wouldn't, especially if you had forty
36:07
Speaker 1: two million.
36:08
Speaker 2: Dollars in the bank. Why would you throw that away?
36:12
Speaker 1: Well?
36:12
Speaker 2: What do I now?
36:13
Speaker 1: But inspired by this act of violence, a Laura decides
36:16
Speaker 1: on her own revenge and she goes to the fertility
36:21
Speaker 1: clinic and Ford just chases signature on consent documents and
36:25
Speaker 1: has two of their frozen embryos implanted without his knowledge
36:29
Speaker 1: or permission. Hey, I'm no lawyer and you're supposed to be, Kim,
36:32
Speaker 1: but that's illegal. And the show presents this medical fraud
36:36
Speaker 1: and reproductive coercion as an empowering girl boss moment. I
36:41
Speaker 1: was just like the whole episode, I'm.
36:43
Speaker 2: Like, I who wrote this?
36:47
Speaker 1: A fourteen year old boy with chetchipt I forgot. But
36:50
Speaker 1: there actually were moments where I was surprised by the
36:53
Speaker 1: acting and the performances. But then I realized that I
36:56
Speaker 1: was actually watching an add commercial.
36:59
Speaker 2: Break on Hulu. There is two instances while watching the show.
37:03
Speaker 1: Where it was like weird because it like cuts in
37:05
Speaker 1: between the show and it'll cut at a scene and
37:07
Speaker 1: then move on, and then I'm like, oh, who's this,
37:09
Speaker 1: this is okay, this actor is really good, and then
37:11
Speaker 1: it just ends up being like a sialis ad or some.
37:14
Speaker 2: Shit oh shit, you not.
37:18
Speaker 1: And that brings us to the final episode so far,
37:21
Speaker 1: and that is episode four, and this is finally an
37:24
Speaker 1: episode that intelligently sidelines Kim Kardashian to focus on actual
37:29
Speaker 1: acting and some other side stories that are going on
37:31
Speaker 1: that are definitely more serious. But the episode starts with
37:34
Speaker 1: Emerald living her best to solo life with caviare and
37:39
Speaker 1: vibrators as rich people do, where everyone just keeps pressuring
37:42
Speaker 1: her to date, from her coworkers to her three weirdly
37:46
Speaker 1: twenty five to thirty year old high school sons who
37:50
Speaker 1: tell their mother she looks bangable before she heads to
37:54
Speaker 1: a singles mixer.
37:55
Speaker 2: Why Ryan, Why?
37:56
Speaker 1: And Kim Kardashian shows one acting strength here, and that
38:00
Speaker 1: is her laugh or her fake laugh.
38:02
Speaker 2: Because she's acting.
38:03
Speaker 1: And I know this because I watch Keeping Up with
38:05
Speaker 1: the Kardashians and I know that laugh because she has
38:07
Speaker 1: this like weird honk like laugh from the reality TV
38:11
Speaker 1: years and she does it here and I'm like, oh, this.
38:13
Speaker 2: Feels natural, this is nice.
38:15
Speaker 1: So at this mixer, Emerald spots a man across the
38:18
Speaker 1: room and they start having a nice evening and then
38:22
Speaker 1: Everybody Dance Now comes on?
38:26
Speaker 2: Great song?
38:27
Speaker 1: Am I right? But that's when everything goes dark because
38:30
Speaker 1: Emerald has been drugged with the GHB and benzo diazepines.
38:35
Speaker 1: And then she wakes up the next morning with torn,
38:37
Speaker 1: bloodied stockings and fragmented memories of fighting off in a
38:42
Speaker 1: night previous. It gets very serious. But here's where the
38:46
Speaker 1: show makes an absolutely insane creative choice to me personally,
38:52
Speaker 1: and that is that during the flashbacks that she's having
38:56
Speaker 1: of the s E, they keep playing I, albeit like
39:00
Speaker 1: a disjointed version, but they keep playing Everybody Dance Now
39:06
Speaker 1: while she's.
39:08
Speaker 2: Getting taken advantage of.
39:10
Speaker 1: And it's just like, I don't know, like I don't
39:14
Speaker 1: always want to like I always want to watch a
39:16
Speaker 1: show and just like take it how it is, but
39:18
Speaker 1: it just makes me And it's just I just know
39:20
Speaker 1: Ryan Murphy, it's just a part of this and I
39:22
Speaker 1: know he's just like a freak, and you know, it
39:26
Speaker 1: just makes me.
39:27
Speaker 2: I don't just made me icky because I know.
39:29
Speaker 1: The actors like don't have anything to do with post,
39:31
Speaker 1: but it's just like, really that was a choice. Also,
39:33
Speaker 1: they named the title of this episode, everybody dance. Now
39:38
Speaker 1: that was a choice, just saying anyway. Meanwhile, this week's
39:42
Speaker 1: divorce case involves Cheryl good Fader. Mister Goodfader wanted children
39:49
Speaker 1: and he's trying to destroy her in the divorce because
39:51
Speaker 1: she refused to give him a baby, and Carrington represents
39:55
Speaker 1: him and arrives to greet Alura and Emerald as beef
39:58
Speaker 1: Curtains and black May West. They just they just give
40:03
Speaker 1: Sarah all the worst things and she reveals her leverage,
40:06
Speaker 1: and that is that Cheryl had a secret abortion ten
40:08
Speaker 1: years ago. But the case wraps up instantly when mister
40:13
Speaker 1: Goodfader's new girlfriend gets pregnant dream fulfilled elsewhere and he
40:18
Speaker 1: drops everything. So again another case that just never saw
40:22
Speaker 1: a courtroom, even if it was not solved or but
40:24
Speaker 1: I just no courtrooms in this law drama. But we
40:29
Speaker 1: come back to the storyline and it escalates when Emerald
40:32
Speaker 1: receives texts with photos of herself bound and get and
40:36
Speaker 1: a Laura cleans up the images and finds an address
40:39
Speaker 1: and they identify the attacker and he's the son of
40:42
Speaker 1: a Ponzi schemer Dina prosecuted years ago. And this was
40:46
Speaker 1: revenge for his father's he is he's no longer living,
40:54
Speaker 1: and you know somebody else didn't do it.
40:57
Speaker 2: If you know what I mean. She gotta be real
40:59
Speaker 2: careful on YouTube.
41:00
Speaker 1: So Emerald meets with her old police partner from Reno
41:03
Speaker 1: nine to one one actually naturally parking driver's side windows
41:07
Speaker 1: to driver side windows in an empty lot like classic
41:11
Speaker 1: TV detectives, but he's playing just as a bad cop
41:15
Speaker 1: as he did on Reno and says there's no evidence
41:18
Speaker 1: for prosecution. And then the twist, the attacker is found
41:22
Speaker 1: dead from a single gunshot wound to the head and
41:25
Speaker 1: Emerald is like, bol did someone kill him? But they
41:29
Speaker 1: don't know at that point. So Emerald snaps at Dina,
41:32
Speaker 1: blaming her for putting her in danger, and then she
41:36
Speaker 1: goes home to confront her triplet sons, all of whom
41:39
Speaker 1: deny involvement because one was with a girlfriend, one was
41:42
Speaker 1: at a party, and one was home alone watching YouTube
41:44
Speaker 1: because she thinks that maybe her son's had something to
41:47
Speaker 1: do with the death of her, and the episode ends
41:51
Speaker 1: with Emerald wondering if one of her boys murdered the attacker,
41:55
Speaker 1: and that is it for the end of the episode.
41:58
Speaker 1: So the fourth one kind of ended on like it's
42:00
Speaker 1: got more serious, so the rest was like very laughable.
42:02
Speaker 1: And then this was like, WHOA written, It's some actual
42:05
Speaker 1: serious tones here. You know, it's actually feeling like a
42:08
Speaker 1: law drama, like a like a Criminal Minds type thing.
42:11
Speaker 1: But all in all, just not good, not very good.
42:18
Speaker 1: But it's kind of like one of those things. It's
42:20
Speaker 1: it is a car crash. It's a car crash. You
42:22
Speaker 1: get mad at everybody else who's watching it, but then
42:25
Speaker 1: you pull up and you're just like, oh, shut up.
42:30
Speaker 1: And obviously the show got horrible reviews, and now I
42:34
Speaker 1: think I think it's sitting around like five or six
42:36
Speaker 1: percent on Rotten Tomatoes and other other places that have
42:40
Speaker 1: reviewed it. But everybody involved, all the actors, Kim Kardashian,
42:43
Speaker 1: Glenn Cose. Glenn Colose made this Instagram post about a
42:47
Speaker 1: bunny stew, which is a callback to her movie that
42:50
Speaker 1: she did which I love, called Fatal Attraction, where she
42:53
Speaker 1: put a bunny in a stew, a pet bunny and
42:56
Speaker 1: a stew with somebody she was obsessed.
42:57
Speaker 2: But anyway, it was a good little callback. They're all
43:00
Speaker 2: taking it in stride.
43:01
Speaker 1: They're just like, I don't care it's not for everybody,
43:04
Speaker 1: you know, no big deal, And I'm you know, I'm
43:06
Speaker 1: fine with that. I mean, like, as someone that has
43:09
Speaker 1: had a movie come out and be you know, reviewed
43:13
Speaker 1: in a positive way and reviewed in a horrible way,
43:16
Speaker 1: it's just like, yeah, not everybody's gonna like it. But
43:20
Speaker 1: there is just an overload of tone deaf themes in
43:26
Speaker 1: this show that it kind of even that I can't
43:30
Speaker 1: even argue for. I'm just like, yeah, okay, it's not
43:33
Speaker 1: for everyone, but it's it's I don't know who it's for.
43:36
Speaker 2: I don't know who this is. I think it's for Kim.
43:39
Speaker 1: I literally think when Chris Jenner said you need to
43:41
Speaker 1: write a role for Kim, I think she just meant
43:43
Speaker 1: you need to write a show for Kim. And Kim's
43:46
Speaker 1: just living like in this fantasy world and this show
43:49
Speaker 1: is her fantasy world. And then these A listers just
43:52
Speaker 1: kind of tagged along because it's probably really good publicity
43:55
Speaker 1: to be in a show like that, and maybe it
43:57
Speaker 1: was fun. Maybe it was fun for them to just
43:58
Speaker 1: kind of kick back and do something that's serious, but
44:01
Speaker 1: they were kind of unserious in it.
44:03
Speaker 2: That's the thing is, I don't know what the.
44:05
Speaker 1: Tone is if this was a parody or like a
44:08
Speaker 1: camp show, it'd actually be really good if they really
44:11
Speaker 1: leaned into the absurdity. I think it would actually be
44:14
Speaker 1: pretty funny and pretty good. But it's it's not it's
44:18
Speaker 1: a serious show. Then that makes it funny, which isn't good.
44:22
Speaker 1: But I think, but you know, watch it if you want.
44:25
Speaker 1: I don't think you have to now, really I wouldn't.
44:27
Speaker 1: There's some shows that I watch, like I.
44:30
Speaker 2: Don't know, more reality.
44:31
Speaker 1: TV, like the Mormon Wives Show or Keeping Up with
44:34
Speaker 1: the Kardashians. You kind of can just turn your brain
44:36
Speaker 1: off and watch.
44:37
Speaker 2: It kind of thing. But this you need to.
44:40
Speaker 1: You kind of need to take your brain out and
44:42
Speaker 1: throw it down the street, forget about it a little
44:44
Speaker 1: bit because there's.
44:45
Speaker 2: Nothing to absorb here.
44:46
Speaker 1: It's just kind of confusing, upsetting, a little funny, and
44:50
Speaker 1: that's mostly it. But I love Sarah Poulson. She was good,
44:54
Speaker 1: and Nisi had some really good one liners too. Glenn
44:57
Speaker 1: Close had some moments as well, and Naomi Wats has
44:59
Speaker 1: always beenastic. But it really is it's like when a
45:02
Speaker 1: bad script is there, it really knocks you down. My goodness, said,
45:06
Speaker 1: do I appreciate writers? After watching this show my goodness,
45:09
Speaker 1: but uh yeah, do with that with you will. I'm tired,
45:12
Speaker 1: i'm done. I'm gonna go stare at a wall because
45:16
Speaker 1: I think that would be better than.
45:19
Speaker 2: Watching this show.
45:24
Speaker 1: Yeah,
