  Speaker 3: Clay, say hi, hello everybody. I am tweeting currently, so
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: I can't do two things at once, so now I
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: have to pause tweeting to say hi.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: We are slackers. We are terrible at posting the podcast
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: episodes and when they go on to feeds, but we're
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: really good at the live tweets, so somewhat positive, just
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: terrible at promoting our shit.
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: And with us.

• 1:08

• 1:11
  Speaker 5: we will be right back in three two one, hy do.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: Good, big chilling, Excited to be here, Thanks for letting
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: me come back.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So we don't have much to talk about this
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: week other than Skeleton Crew episode four. Uh so that's
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: what we're gonna do. We're gonna dive on into it.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: This episode, we get to the coordinates that Kim has
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: provided our skeleton crew, and it is a Neal focused episode,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: and I want to highlight that because that's probably my
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: biggest issue with the episode. That okay, and I just
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: have to get this out of the way. So this
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: episode is directed by the Daniels. Yeah, and I guess
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: because it was a Neil centric episode. I don't know.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: The the biggest thing that blugged me in this episode
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: is the way they focused on his face and the
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: way I could only see everything everywhere all it wants rock.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: There's literally every time I looked at him and his
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: eyes are moving around and you see the lights because
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: you haven't really seen the lights of his eyes so far,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: or like if they're not highlighted a bunch of bit.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Because he's the focused character of this episode, I just
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: look at him and I see the rock Like it's
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: really bad.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: What y'all think? I mean, I guess I didn't really
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: think too much about like what he looked like. I thought.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: I thought He's looked fine throughout the the entirety of
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: the season. I'm more annoyed about, like how he talks
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: to underprivileged and disenfranchised people more than anything than how
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: we're just like he's cute, though it's kind of messed
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: up that I'm sure that we can get you, like
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: like once we get a little bit further further on.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: But yeah, all that stuff is fine. I was so
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: because you mentioned like the Daniels, and I was excited
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: because everything all at once. I was like, oh, co're
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: this this is going to be the deep episode, you know,
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: like when the directors pop up, you know, like when
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: Bryce Statles Howard pops up, you know that you're gonna
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: get a Bryce Styllis Howard episode. And I thought like
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: that was going to be like this, but they didn't
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: go They just didn't go deep enough for me. It's
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: like my to the episode. But I thought it was
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: fun overall. I liked that they just went to the
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: next planet. There wasn't into like a space thing. We
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: got hyperspace guys. We can just go to the next planet. Yeah,
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: so like teleporting and Outlaws, it's like, all right, cool,
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: we picked up the thing when you finished that quest, Boom,
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: let's go to the next quest and keep on going.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I really enjoyed how like I know, Jude
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Law is like our main adult character here, and he's like,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: why most people are probably watching this because Jude law.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: But I liked how the kids stayed in focus and
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: we just found out what happened to Yes, but I
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: just wanted to get the googly eyes out of the
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: way because that just it was so distracting.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: I'll look at it, Yeah, I look at it. I'll
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: look at it on the next the next watch, because
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: it was too focused on the other stuff. Yeah, yeah,
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: I'll look at it for sure.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: I get distracted by these random visual cues, and especially
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: since I knew the Daniels were directing this, I just
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: it just it. I was like, so, yeah, but we,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: like you said, we hit the next planet, which is
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: it looks like it's one of the Lost Planets of nine,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: so very similar to it's yep, and that's the name
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: of the episode.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: The the planet that they are on is called Autumn.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: I think that's like the the because that was like
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: the big reveal, one of the big reveals of this episode.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: They played it really well. I thought I thought they
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: fucking got there. They got me, so they got me.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: I thought it was.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: I I thought we were watching freaking back in the
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: future too.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: Dude, like because I yeah, so so for me, this
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: is like the first episode that I've watched by myself.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: The other episodes I've watched with people, So I had
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: like people to be like, am I crazy? Did that
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: really happen? But I legit thought that they had gone
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: on the future, either they gone in the future or
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: we were we were living, Like they got out, somebody
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: found their trail, went back and then like merked the
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: planet or something like that, like completely in line with
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: so many things that have happened in like this franchise, right,
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: or that they would in feature in time, which would
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: be like mind blowing, but I think that the true
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: thing is cooler.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: And I was definitely like, oh, are they just something
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: the other side of the planet and they've only been
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: like segregated?
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that the that was of mine as well as
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: like maybe this whole barrier was actually more like the dome,
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: you know, like yeah, yeah, kN Kong they were kng
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: yeah yeah. So I was like, Okay, what's exactly happening
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: here because there was so many similarities to the point
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: where Neil and Fern and everybody else was like, oh,
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: this is just like home, but it's not. Look these
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: are the same houses. These are the same building. See that.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: How are there my mom works there? Like there's so
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: many like similarities to the point of like why are
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: there so many similarities, because there's just so many questions
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: with with all of that, you know.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: I'm feeling very divergent about this. Where they created I
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: don't know if y'all read divertit, but they basically created
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: cities trying to like breathe the perfect person who could
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: like stop genetic h degradation basically, and so they created
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: like similar cities and then introduced different problems into each one,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: so like they have this is the city and then.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, so that's what I was thinking too. Yeah yeah,
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: same same, same, but same, same but different. That's what
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: I was thinking. That this could have been just like
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: something didn't stay right some thing, and then you have
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: like the giant statue satellite.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Or not like the yeah, the satellites around the planet.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: From operations that look very similar to the ones for
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: Operations Center, which you've seen annihilate things in planets. That's good,
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: Like there there's so many there's so many possibilities because
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: then you have the I'm sorry, I get a little lad.
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: Sorry sorry sorry, and like the yeah imperial looking maybe helmets,
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: but everyone here has that, but it they just build
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: it up so well, and like that's I think where
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: the Daniels really do really well is the build was
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: so good up until like the very end. And I
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: don't think like the I think the episode is short
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: and like the pacing sucks for other reasons, but in
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: terms of like moving the story along, like getting us
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: to the next planet, I thought they killed it. It was
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: it was such a good like yeah, man, what wait
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: what huh? What?
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Real quick? I'm gonna give you context. Operations Center is
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Alphabet Squadron you have not?
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Yes, still a book I haven't read yet, so.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's basically part of Palpatine's plan where he destroyed
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: certain planets. So like Naboo was one of the planets
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: that was set up to be destroyed by the satellites
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: and they have to stop the plot. So it ties
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: into race, loan and everything. So that's your context.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: One of one of my big things Also when these
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: kids show up out of nowhere and are telling our
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: kids the protagonists, like, hey, we need to get going,
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: we need to hide. I think that Skeleton Crew is
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: doing this on purpose. I think Luca's film is doing
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: this on purpose. I saw those helmets and I was
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: like nil. I immediately I thought nihil, and I was
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: like this, this can't be a coincidence. What's going on?
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: But then when you actually look at the helmets, I
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: understand like, Okay, these look a little bit more like
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: like you said, Adrian, you compared them to uh.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they look like the Imperial and Solo in Solo,
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: like when he's doing like his grunt work, he kind
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: of look like those helmets to me.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I definitely thought, oh gosh, it's just terrible. Remembering
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: the infus Nest, like I felt like.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: It was a little of everything that's like like the
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: cool thing. So this so whatever happened here, I definitely
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: think that was like I don't know if it was
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: like an experiment or what it is, but the race
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: diversity is clear that like this created some even like
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: weird dialect. Because my wife when she was watching and
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: was watching her watch it after I had watched it
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: maybe a couple hours before, it was like what dialect
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: are this? Because like I didn't even really think of
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: that because I was just like, yeah, this is just
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: a dialect they speak like Ryl. I was like, that
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: sounds like Ryloff to me, very similar circumstances of genetic.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: I just want to say this before we move on
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: at all, uh Adrian, I think you have some new fans.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: I shared your tweet from last week on your huge
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: deep dive on the arabag.
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that was a lot of fun, and I think
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: I was like four am, like, like, I think some
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: people would like.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: One of the comments that I saw from a friend
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: of mine said that you need to get with him
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: in trying to find some of his ancestors if you're
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: going to take that much of a deep dive. So
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: I love this. You know you're talking about dialect. I
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: will be completely, completely honest watching it. I unfortunately didn't
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: have time to watch it the day it released. I
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: had to watch it literally before this recording.
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: We're going to go into our second ad break and
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: we'll be right back.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: My wife was cooking, Amberlyn was running around with the
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: iPad and the first time the kid speaks. I can't
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: remember her name at the top of my head right now,
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: but the first time she is telling them about the
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: hatan and all this other stuff. She is speaking so
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: fast and with the different dialect that I had heard before.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: I told everybody, I was like quiet every round for
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: just a split second heard it, and thankfully I had
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: the actual close captions on, so I was like, Okay,
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: now I understand what she said, let's move on, but I.
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: Really almost it's not galactic basic. Yeah, yeah, it's so cool.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: It's so cool. I love it, and.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: The like the planet seems to be so old that
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: they don't understand operash, like they've been in the sanctum,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: but they don't understand what is on the wall at all.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: It's crazy.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: So that like makes me feel like, Okay, maybe it
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: is more old republic versus like high republic and stuff.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: There's definitely old republic. I think it's I think it
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: might be the the A lot of the separatist stuff
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: makes me think that this was like a separatist way
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: to like separate. I mean I don't. I mean, see,
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: this is like where I get, where I get excited,
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: where I want to go deep dive A little bit.
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: More is like where were the authoritians like at this time,
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: and like where were they more separatist leaning, like at
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: some point like in the in the timeline where they
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: would side it and would have you know, wanted because
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: like if you because think about like what this is,
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: it's just like separation like the Nihill did, right, It's yeah,
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: it's a it's a very similar thing that they just
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: want to be left alone. And I mean, but the
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: way that the n I will do it is is bad.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: The way the separatists do it is obviously bad. But
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: this could have been a way for them to be like, hey,
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: we're going to separate ourselves like legit, like where no
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: one's going to be able to mess with us, and
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: I was gonna be able to talk to us other
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: than the overseers of our people. I'm gonna sure everyone
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: else like robots and it right like that.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: You know again with everybody's ten foil hats. I just
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: love that phrase, by the way. I this kind of
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: feeds into you know, Katie, you're talking about this thing
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: about uh, you know, possibly experimenting and everything else. This
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: feeds into the very early theories that we had in
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: the idea that like, is all of this a like
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: ploy of what you know, Palpatine and his predecessors.
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: I don't think so. There's too many aliens for it
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: to be Palpatine.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: That's true.
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: Aliens involved that dude was racist as hell, dude, but it's.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Only been like specific aliens. So we've seen Roady. No,
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: I guess the school scene he's not.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: I don't. I do Thorians. You think he'd be nice
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: to some authorians. No one was nice of the authorians.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: Go back to the nice and old Republic game where
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: they're the first thing is like them getting bullied. Yeah,
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: they're never nice of those people. Man, I just.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: Don't have the episode playing right now.
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: I never know.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: I didn't notice this before. Did you guys notice that
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: when Neil is like scared and hyperventilating, his trunk shakes.
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I did not know articulated cool dude. I think
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: I think he looks cool. Like maybe maybe I'm so
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: focused on the trunk. I don't look at the eyes ever.
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: I like, I think it's so cool. I was like,
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: his trunks up and his mouth moves the bottom yeah, yeah,
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: mouth under there.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: I think they they did excellent with him. He and
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: again props to the actor. He did very well this episode.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: I will say I agree with Katie and the idea
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: that like this because the entire time I was watching,
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: I was like, isn't this supposed to be the Neil
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: like focused episode, Like or is.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: That the next he said that though, like who says that,
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: you know what I mean?
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: From what I remember, I believe it was. Of course
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: it was outlets and stuff like I would have to
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: go back to see that. But I it became such
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: a like talk about focus of like, oh, this will
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: be the Neil episode, this will be the Neil episode.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: And it might have been just the fact that people
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: were over hyping it and just like, oh, you know,
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: he's so cute, he needs his own episode, you know,
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: and just throwing that out there. I hope that's not
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: the case. But I also hope that it's not the
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: case that this was supposed to be the Neil focused episode, because.
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: No, this is the episode. And I think I think
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: the really interesting thing here clays that you haven't been
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: on the internet yet, dude, Like people are loving this.
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: You You are the minority here, sir. People are going
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: to hate that you're saying this. Neil Nation's coming after you,
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: after you, because this was an amazing episode for Neil.
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: It was an amazing episode for Neil. I think it
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: did a lot of great things for his character. He
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: did learn a lot. I just don't think that he
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: learned enough. Yeah, I think it is how I feel
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: he learned didn't learn enough, and he learned at the
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: expanse of other characters, which I always hate, like he
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: shouldn't have to learn something because someone else is getting
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: like hello, oppressed and he needs to like see that.
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: And this is like more like on a personal note,
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: it it reminds me a lot like and I posted
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: about this that it felt like watching a little kid
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: from the suburbs here go to Gaza and like talk
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: to anybody on either side, I don't care what side
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: you're on, and then ask them to and be like wow,
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: this is kind of like silly. We shouldn't be fighting.
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: Like if it was me, I would just say I'm sorry.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: Just come to America.
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: Like yeah, it's like yeah, just me, just come to America.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: It's very very like pretension and obviously he's a child
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: and he's not supposed to get it. But also no
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: one's telling him like yeah, dude, like that's that's cool.
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: I'm like that is how it should be. But this
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: people don't even understand galactic basic. We can't teach you
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: centuries of oppression because you were quote unquote like safe.
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: We don't even know what's going on with them. They
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: could like they have like another love of oppression and
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: protection for kids that I think is also like and
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: that's like kind of what this whole episode is, right,
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: It's a it's a look at like how do we
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: protect kids? The Jedi protect kids a certain way. The
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: Empire conscripts kids. The first order of conscripts kids. They
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: these peoples give them, these kids a whole bunch of power.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: The at in kids are like super protected. So like
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: what is the right way? I don't know. And we
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: were just talking about like parents stuff before we went
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: live today. Who knows, dude, who knows. But like some
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: of these people I think are not making the rights
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: with their kids.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's crazy, But I also feel like maybe, like
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: and maybe it's just the point where we're at in
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: the season, but I feel like Whim would have been
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: a more interesting focused character here because he's all excited
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: with the blasters and stuff, and he's like, oh, Neil,
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: watch this and shoots like the heavy blaster cannon like
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: and gets knocked back by the record or whatever it's
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: called recoil. I was close, and so I feel like
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: maybe he would have learned a deeper lesson, like, hey.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: I mean I think later, I think he's I think
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: like the main right, I think like he's going to
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: have the bigger, the bigger arc in the second half
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: the season. I think this is just like for me,
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: the whole thing is this is for him to throw
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: the rock at the end of the episode. I know
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: we aren't there yet, so I won't believe, but like
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: he's there to throw the rock at the end of
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: the episode. Now that's the whole thing, which is fine,
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: like that should happen, But the way that we get
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: there I don't, I think is it doesn't feel theistic
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: way to look at something that you're really it's a
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: plistic way to look at something that you're trying to
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: like really touch at. Right, Because you open up this
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: episode with child soldiers. Oh shit, child soldiers. Wait, we've
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: never seen child soldiers. I was like, yes, you have.
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: You've seen child soldiers everywhere and it's been bad every
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: time it's happened, so like it's cool, cool, cool, And
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: then like the answer being like if it was me,
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: I would just say I'm sorry. The braver thing is
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: the braver thing to do would be to make peace,
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: is another one of his lines from It's like, yeah,
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: that's cool, but it's like an empty platitude that really
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: doesn't harken to the fact that, like, this whole thing
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: started because George Lucas was inspired by the Vietnam War
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: and wanted to speak to that. Right, So if we're
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: already going to go that deep, you can be like, oh,
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: this is for kids, Why are you going that deep.
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: He's a child, he should understand those things of repression
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: and blah blah blah blah blah. Star Wars is for kids,
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: and it was also inspired by the Vietnam War. Both
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: those things are true. So if you're gonna hark on it,
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: if you're gonna go for it, then just go for it. Man,
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: it's twenty twenty four. Go for it. Call everybody out
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: because you just had them in the last episode shooting
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: at the literal good guys on not national TV, but
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: like on TV for everybody to see, Like, that's something
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: you only do in video games. You don't do that
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: in real life. The main characters don't shoot at the
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: you know, the good guys in real life. So if
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: you're gonna go for it, Go for it. I think
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: the message is good. I think the way they get
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: there is just murky. And my wife felt the same way,
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: and I didn't influence her at all. All I said is, yeah,
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: we can watch it and then we can talk about
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: it after we didn't posit. I didn't pose it. I
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: didn't do anything. But even she posited, she was just like, yeah,
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: and if you come with me, everything will be okay.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: And I was like, yeah, dude, that's exactly how I felt.
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: So it's like, maybe it's like, I don't know if
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: it's like I don't want to make it like a
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: race thing, but it feels like maybe it's like a
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: minority privileged thing, because I know that everyone and their
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: mother is all about like how cute he was in
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: this episode, how adorable he was in this episode. But
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: for me, it just rings super hollow. And if you
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: look at real world events, if you if you take
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: out Neil and put a just a blonde hair, white kid,
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: we would be fucking pissed. And literally, what I was.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: About to say is because you have the minorities in
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: our group, you have of course Neil is the.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: Alien you have.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: Uh, uh, Whim is the is the black kid? You
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: have KB, is.
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: The the the Mexican kid? Were myself?
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: We say, yeah exactly, but it wasn't Fern And and
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: I think that was the best option they could have done,
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: is like, Okay, Burn's not going to learn this lesson
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: right now. And I think, you know, we were talking
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: very briefly about, you know, could it have been Whim's
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: episode to learn that lesson? We're getting there because even
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: the conversation that him and Fern were having end of
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: the episode of like, great thing you should have been captain.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: Oh well, actually, you know, I think you would have
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: been good as captains, like, oh well, I wouldn't have
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: gotten this this far, Like you can already see it brewing,
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: like that is going to get to a certain point where.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's building. I'm like that, that's building, like you know,
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: we're building, because that's him caving like a little bit
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: and then realizing that like oh like and I do
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: like it because you know, you can get fucking pissy
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: and you can cry or you can say gay witches,
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: whatever the hell, but like power of one, power of mine.
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: He's like the whole thing for Star Wars, you know,
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: we're better together, doing things together, the whole thing. So
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: like them realizing like, oh yeah, she might be like
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: leading the team quote unquote, but doesn't mean like I
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: can't do stuff. Doesn't mean that I don't have to
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: be just the PP guy, which he has been now
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: for you know, four episodes, which I think is going
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: to make that bigger, which is which I think is great,
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: which is what we don't get. If like this is
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: the only like neal thing that we get, then he
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: should have gotten more things other than just saying like
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: this is where you live. You live on the for
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: the school, dude, imagine if someone said that about your hometown,
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: like how like how much are you want to educate
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: that little boy on like don't say stuff like that.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: And maybe this, maybe this is because I just work
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: with kids every day, and I work and sometimes I
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: work with really privileged kids who just don't know that
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: like the stuff they like bliss, but someone's got to educate.
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: And I just don't think that the education he needed
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: there to like really understand why she was able to
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: cave to, like not cave, but understand where he was
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: coming from. I don't think that she got to see
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: that he understood where she was coming from because they separate.
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: He's gone, he has the big moment, but then she
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: goes off thinking that like, oh, that guy would never
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: do this ever, you know what I mean in my head,
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: because she's like because people are telling me online when
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: I'm like, when I posted this, because I knew that
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: people were going to we're gonna like this, Like I
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: just feel like that's like the case. And you're like, oh, well,
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: she's gonna take the lessons off to go learn them
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: when she's leader and it's going to change everything. Dope,
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: that is exactly what Sagarera's sister thought. Like, that's exactly
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: what so many of like great leaders thought, and then
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: they all died. So you're we're assuming that she's going
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: to live. We're assuming like this lady who's cut off
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: from the galaxy is going to get the help somewhere
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: that that that that she's going to live. So in
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: my ham's like the the cost benefit, Like who got
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: the better deal out of this this cultural exchange that's
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: happening here. And you know, Neil gets to go off
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: and faint and you know, go hunky dory, get on
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: the ship and go continue his adventure while she goes
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: to go literally fight for her life. And I just
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: don't think that it's a I just don't think it's
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: as cute as as everyone's making as everybody else, not
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: that it isn't cute, like it's a good it's a
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: good arc. I can't like express that enough. Like I
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: don't hate Neil, I don't hate Neil, I love Neil.
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: I think you know, Robert Robert Timothy Smith like is
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: killing it, Like these kids are killing it, but some
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: of the best kid voiced like this. This is like
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: these kids are better, not better, or like this feels
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: like I'm watching The Stranger Things level of like child
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: actors like out here just murdering it, right, So I
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: just want them to do better. I think that the
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: The Wall scene where they kind of have that thing
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: where he's like, uh, you're you know that building over there,
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: like you guys shouldn't be fighting, Like fighting is dumb.
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: Basically that building over there, Well, when uh my planet,
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: my mom lives there and or my mom works there,
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: and then when I get out of school, I'm gonna
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: go work there. Like that's like the nethotism shit that
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: I hear and hear when I was a college student,
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: when I had to like crawl and grime to get there, right,
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: I think it undervalues for all of his cuteness, it
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: undervalues like who he's talking to and like who this
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: message is supposed to be talking to. And I just
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: don't think that at all. I think it's the weakest episode.
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: I still gave it an eight, and I think people
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: are gonna call it filler. I don't think it's filler
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: because it facilitates conversations like this.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: Well, I think it definitely like it. It pushes the needle.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: Also as far as like the actual story line goes,
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: there's a huge drop at the very end of the episode.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah on the game is in the chat here and
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: he says, thought I was the only one who thought
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: it was the weakest episode so far.
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: And we're about to jump into our third ad.
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: Y'all.
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: We promise, we'll be right back.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: We promise, and no you're not alone. I think that
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: that overall, I think this was a good episode, not great.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: It did drop a bomb at the very end to
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: help progress the story, which I think is very very
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: good as a series as a whole, because every episode
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: does have an important point, and I think that is
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: very good for any and all series I want to
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: talk about I always forget his name.
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: Juda's characters, John George, Crimson Jack.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Crimson Jack exactly, Crimson Jack and me. I really
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: liked their first interaction going into the planet you know
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: fur and is like, hey to me, you know babysit
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: the you know this guy. I love entering babysitter mode,
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: come here.
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: They bullied that man at the beginning of this episode.
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: I loved it.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: It man, it was so good.
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: He just took it. But I love that he's like,
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: you bad asking He could like just leave if he
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: wanted maybe. Yeah, it was like a nice guy, which
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: is which I hope is happening here, that he's really
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: just a nice guy and he's not just taking the
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: ship just to take the ship. But he's adorable. I
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: love him.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: I I'm getting mixed signals, and I love the mixed
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: signals because it it's because it's what keeps me drawn in,
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: because you have these moments where he's in the ship
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: and he's snooping around. You know, he's not supposed to
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: be stoopid around, stoopid around, super around. He finds the credits.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: He finds the Old Republic credits and Me is like, oh,
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: we have a three phone on the ship and he's like, oh,
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: it's me, it's me, it's me.
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: He's like, oh.
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, yeah whatever they.
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: And that's the thing. That's what I love the subtlety
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: in this episode. Again, Adrian, you said like, oh, it
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: was so off the tongue that it sounds like at
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: aton and you think that they're there, but then you
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: actually hear what Me is saying. You're like, oh, wait
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: a second, that's that's not where, Like he actually knows
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: where they are. This is wild. And then when he's like, oh, yeah,
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: you know, there was a lot of soldiers like this
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: last time, and then the fog goes away. I love
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: that visual, by the way, Yeah, absolutely love.
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: It keeps undercutting the biggest moments. Manike is watching and
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: she's she's panicked. She's panicked, like these kids are really
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: going to go to war. Oh no, no, just kidding, No,
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: it's just crimson Jack, that that scoundrel.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no no. The the first time when they
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: are leaving the ship and you see, yeah, the other scene.
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: It separates away when he yeah, I thought yeah, yeah, sorry, Sorry, Sorry,
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: I was getting ahead of myself, but I was like,
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: yeah for that, say no, yeah that that that was
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: cool because I thought that he was gonna go crazy
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: and we're going to see it.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: But he's just like, nah, just shoot me, Like when
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: he said that, Oh God, what's what's gonna Yeah, He's.
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: Either he's either like the best actor on the planet
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: or he's really like this, and I just don't know
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: which one. It is. Like, that's a mystery of itself.
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: It's like a mystery within the mystery for him.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: I feel like it's very parallel to his character Captain Marble,
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: so maybe that is real life.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's I think there's a small little subtlety of
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: like Captain Jack Sparrow in him in a sense like
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: where I think if you because I bet you anything.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: They said, Hey, Jude Law, do you want to do
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: this Star Wars thing where you're a pirate? Hey you
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: can be like this silly kind of nuanced character and
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: and you are very serious, but you know, you get
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: away with things. He's like, oh, Jack Sparrow, you know,
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: so I could see that happening. I could see him
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: possibly trying to work that out. I want to know
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: because again there's this question is he actually for sensitive
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: or not? Is this all tricks? Like what's going on?
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: How did he get away from them?
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean he kind of tells.
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: Them, yeah that he's just isn't the truth? We don't know.
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: That's the point. Like that's the part that like I
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: think is good storytelling, because again you want to believe
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: him because it's just like, Okay, you know he got lucky,
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: blah blah. But at the same time, did he just
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: go murder everybody like he said, like good old Rosamon?
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: So yeah, it really just changs away. I looked at
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: any of these stories because like Star Wars from anything,
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: unless like I'm watching the specifics character by themself, like
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: in a room. Everything is like from a certain point
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: of view in my being able to come to Star Wars,
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: which makes it so great, it's the whole thing. But
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: I think I saw a video by Element Diad in
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: The Force and he did like a whole thing on
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: like Rochamon and like why people have such an issue
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: with like the the Luke scene in the Last Jedi.
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: Not that I'm one of them, but like, you know,
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: why we want to believe a certain thing. So like
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: when we watch this guy, he's like a perfect example
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: of that because we have no idea what this guy's
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: true intentions are, and we don't know him enough to
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: like want him to act any certain way because we
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: don't know him. It's just it. It's like the best
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: really representation of like us interacting in whatever thing is
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: going on, because some of us want to be like, yeah,
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: like whip out the lightsaber, do the thing, shoot them
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: all up. Some people in reaction to this and just like, yeah, dude,
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: he's so me. I would just be like, yeah, shoot me,
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: get it over with. So it's a wide variety of
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: like playing this character, he's killing it and I don't
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: even think he's doing that much. He's doing like, not
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: a whole lot, but so much at the same time. Yeah,
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: characters written really well and do laws killing it, for sure.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: I agree. But that really takes us to the forbidden
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: what they call it, the fallen sanctum, the fallen sanctum.
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: I was gonna say forbidden sanctum, but the fallen sanctum.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: Which is I hadn't get this out of the way, yea.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: It parallels what we've seen in the trailers for what
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: has been assumed to be the Supervisor's Tower, and the
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: kids talk about it as like, oh, like I've never
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: been inside this, but like it looks exactly like the tower,
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: which is where like I'm like, okay, maybe it's experimental,
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: and they design all these planets the same, but then
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: like through things into it. Anyways, So they get to
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: the Fallen Sanctum and they start finding all these coordinates
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: for all the other planets assumedly in this lost nine
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: that all had like some sort of treasure. But then
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: they find Autumn's Tower and the coordinates have been scratched
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: out of the tower.
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: And it is revealed immediately when they find it, because
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: it's really cool, you know. They see the Autumn, the
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: one that they're in, then they see all these other
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: ones and they start yelling them out and they're like, oh,
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: these are all sounding very similar. What is this all about?
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: And that's when Neil finds at Atton it's blasted away,
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: and that's when Smee says, Oh, that was me. I
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: did that, you know.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: And I knew he was programmed. I knew it. Like
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: the second episode where he was like, oh, I don't
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: know if I've ever heard of no at atten.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: I like this because again, unfortunately Katie, you have never
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: seen this movie, even though you need to see it.
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: Treasure Planet this.
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: Is watch it after this because you're you're experiencing all
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: the cool things that make like Treasure Planet cool.
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: I mean that is also true. Like this, this is
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: this is kind of like Treasure Planet. And that's why I.
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: Love it more. It's more like Treasure Planet is the Goonies.
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: I hate. I'm so over the Goonies reference to this, Like,
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: this is not the Goodies. This is a treasure Planet.
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: Like it's much deeper than like.
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: Well and that was the thing.
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: People.
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: I'm surprised that you're seeing a lot of people say
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: goonies because for me.
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: Well, like the first like two episodes they did yeah yeah,
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: it was very much.
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah sure. But this I one hundred percent agree.
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: It is one hundred percent Treasure Planet. But there is
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: a uh, there's an android, and I will say I
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: will say this small spoiler. There's an android named Ben
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: in Treasure Planet, and he hides some secrets and then
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: you get to learn why and how and all this
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: other stuff and it's boom. It happens to me and
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: I love the way Fern like it. There's a light
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: bulb in Fern's head where she's like, you know, she
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: asked him the question. He immediately responds back and she's like, Oh,
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: I used to do this to my droid all the time,
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: and we've even seen it happen because it happened in.
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: The first episode.
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: So it gives you reference as an audience member as
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: like not just a throwaway line like no, she actually
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: did this before. And when there's an override, you see
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: the complete change of sme and.
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: This should be our final ad break, So y'all, thanks
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: for bearing with us.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: We appreciate y'all. We'll be right back.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: And it turns into like a very dark horror like
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: the way the camera moved.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: This was probably my favorite part of the episode, Like cinematography,
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: direction wise, I love this.
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Remind me of like how scary the the Dark
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: Trooper droids were, Yeah, Manday when they came out for
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: the first time. All those missing was just like that
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: Scrillix esque thing from Ludwig and it would just been
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: been so sick us. So I just tragic for me, man,
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: because like at that point in the episode, I was
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: really like, Man, I was really feeling for for for
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: me man like he's a droid, Like he's a droid
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: the but he's like, just because he's a droid doesn't
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: mean that this dude, Like I hate the way Fern
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: talks about droids. It feels he feels like like when
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: like when Captain Jack cos it's racist. It feels racist
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: whenever they do it. And I know a species, but
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: I hate when people are mean to droids. I hate
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: when people are mean to droids. It just makes no
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: sense to me. But like it's tragic because because you
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: because he's trying to like play on the the empathetic
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: side of a droid when he's talking to him right
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: when he's trying to get him and be like tell
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: me more about like or whatever, try to remember, try
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: to remember, and he's trying to like this empathetic approach
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: of like we'll fix you, buddy, but no, all he
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: really wants is like the treasure. So everyone's disrespecting this man.
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: And then the last episode they were so like ready
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: to go risk it all to go save him, and
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: then to have him like against his will, try to
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: go kill these kids is really really rough, especially if
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: you love droids. In the in the series. You know,
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: I love K two s O, I love N D
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: five and Outlaws, I love the the Human A time
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: of time to like a droid dude. I love those guys.
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: And yeah, it's so tragic. I just hope that he's
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: not like gone. I don't I didn't want the trailer ringers.
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: I don't know like what they turned. I thought I
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: thought someone was getting there chopping his head off and
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: he was gone or something.
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: I hope that he's not gone, because, like I said,
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: he's been my favorite part of the entire series so far.
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: I love Neil, I love all the characters so far,
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: but me has been a staple from me since the beginning,
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: and he's.
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: Not even even yeah.
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and so I really hope that like they get
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: to somehow turn it around for him to be on
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: the good side.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: I don't think he's gone because I think they're going
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: to try to.
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they just always always find the off switch or something.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So I think they're gonna like dismantle his arms
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: probably and try to like modifie.
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because what would it n be saying Like in
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: the episode, she's like she's like, there's only like ten
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: million circuits and I was like, like ten million circuits break line.
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: She was just like, oh yeah, no, no worries, I
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: can do that. Yeah, So I'm sure she'll fix them up.
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: And I would love to see like a full on
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: n B episode or like something focus on her trying
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: to fix this dude up so she can see the
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: humanity and the droid. I would love an episode that's
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: just me thinking out loud, but I would love an
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: episode of them like really bonding and.
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: Because she's she's I feel like she's the character that
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: is really to herself, you know, compared to everybody else,
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: So you know they could bond in that way.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, do you guys think that we're going to go
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: to one of the other nine planets.
• 38:34
  Speaker 6: And like maybe, yeah, we're gonna get the coordinates, but
• 38:41
  Speaker 6: could be a thing that that planet is also jacked,
• 38:43
  Speaker 6: Like we have no idea.
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: This is what two of two of two of nine. Now.
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know if I would absolutely hate or
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: love the fact that this would become like a Planet
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: of the Week type like series.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: Well, they're not going to hit every planet because there's
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: only four up left.
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: True, but like that's what I mean, Like, are the
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: next four episodes going to be four new planets, you know,
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: besides the last episode, because you assume, of course they
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: get back home.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it'd be interesting to see how they figure it out.
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: I wonder if it's going to be a thing if
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: they like because they have they have coordinates. They've they've
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: been really big on coordinates this year. There's somebody on
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: threads a god can't remember his handle off the top
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: of my head, but he went harder on the r
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: best than I did on the scroll, and it was
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: like looking at the coordinates and was looking at all
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: all the things, and some of these coordinates were he says,
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna look at the coordinates to see these like
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: match up and stuff. So I think that then mentioned
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: accordances this much and showing us this much because we've
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: never really seen this kind of thing. How often are
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: coates mentioned in Star Wars. So I wonder if they're
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: going to try and figure it out and like really
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: try to piece it together like an old school kind
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: of scene where they try and figure out and pinpoint it.
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: And if they pinpoint it that way, I'd be down
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: for them just to go to at in next episode.
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: If like that's how they do it, or they can
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: go another episode, have another adventure. I'm cool. So I
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: keep seeing flashes of like some big monster thing or something.
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: Now, so is is next episode the Bryce Dallis Howard episode?
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: No. Next week is Jake Schreier? Then episode six is
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: the bry Styles Howard episode.
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: All right, so remind me again who is Schreier? And
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: do I know any of his bolts?
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: I think is what he's doing?
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: Oh, okay, he's so he's he's Has he done anything else? Though?
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: He did beef?
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: Oh beef? Yeah?
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's directing Thunderbolts. That's really the biggest things that I.
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: Directed to Kanye West music videos and the Justin Bieber
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: and Benny Blanco music video.
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: Huh oh.
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: He's also directed an episode of Dave. He's probably the
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: one with any Blanco that's interesting. A musical episode maybe
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: late Oh.
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: He's done Robot and Frank Papertowns is another one that
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: he's done.
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: I don't know nothing about them shows.
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I am not familiar with a lot of his stuff,
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: so we'll see.
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: How how you know I'm down. I'm down because those
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: directors usually swing big dude, they always I haven't seen
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: Beef either. Everyone says it's good, but I remember.
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: That Beef is the one with the with Stephen Ewing.
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, I heard about like the real life drama
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: with that when of the actors was like, I don't
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: want to watch that. Yeah, the story, the story was good,
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: so I I'm expecting some cool stuff, but I spent
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: itself with with the Daniels and I got let down there.
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: So yeah, very very true. Well, I think that's it.
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: We covered the episode fairly quickly. Again, this was very short.
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: I think it was twenty eight twenty eight minutes un total,
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: I think, But I think overall, like without the credits rolling,
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: this episode is like I think twenty five.
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: Give them an hour, give them an hour. All of
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: the issues I have with it? What could be feeled
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: if you just had longer episodes?
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure. No, And maybe that comes with the
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: fact that, like you know, we everybody again compares this
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: to like, oh well, at least the pitch was Stranger
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: Things in Space. If this does end up getting the
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: seasons of Stranger Things, maybe we'll get that extension on
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: run time as well. But we'll see for sure. But again,
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: I think that is it for the episode aging, is
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: there anything that you would like to pimp out as
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: far as your works, your videos and all that tell
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: people where they are.
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: I mean you can follow. My coverage is a little
• 42:53
  Speaker 4: bit more in depth and you know, thought out and
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: edited and all those things that, but why they're not
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: net as always And then for everything else just at
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: superuse ninety three kind of really where we're at. I'm
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: not on Blue Sky because I feel like Blue s
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: guy's like just like another one to get on there.
• 43:07
  Speaker 4: I don't want to get on another one. So mostly
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: threads and Instagram these days, lots of TikTok and yeah,
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: just posting things that make me feel good. Go see
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: these episodes, and please just think about like this more
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: than just cutes and think about it as like the
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: sandbox it is to tell really cool stories, and they
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: can tell these stories, and kids can handle these stories.
• 43:33

• 43:35

• 44:01
  Speaker 4: about me saying.

  Speaker 3: Yes, next week is Christmas. There is going to be
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: an episode, but we will talk very minor thoughts on
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: it when we also cover episode six, so we'll be
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: crunching into that. We don't want to make the episode
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: too long and cover them completely. We'll hit the highlights
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: of that episode for sure. If they drop any big bombs,
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: we will definitely talk about those, So don't worry about that.
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: But just don't expect an extravagant three hour episode just
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: because we're covering two episodes.
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: Correct and next week y'all, we will be going into
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: completely non spoiler thoughts on the Mask of Fear, the
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: first book in the new trilogy that Random House World
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: is doing, Reign of the Empire. I think it is
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: the name of the trilogy. I'm so like, y'all, I'm
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: so tired. I'm sorry, but we will, Clay, I will
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: be talking completely nonspoiler thoughts because that book is not
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: out until the end of February, but we did get
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: an early copy and there's no embargo, so we want
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: to go ahead and kind of like I do too.
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: I'm on chapter fifteen.
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: See, I did the thing where I'm just putting in
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: my headphones pressing read aloud on our app and it
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: sounds disgustingly robotic, but at least I'm getting all the
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: information while I'm doing chores and everything else.
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I should probably do that, even though it's
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: also of books, and I was like, I like the
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: audio books more agent.

  Speaker 3: I always go for the audio books, which is why,
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: like Adrian, I don't know if you've ever attempted to
