• 1:08
  Speaker 1: chat let me know what y'all thought about it entitled
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: outcast this episode was written by vanessa baden kelly she
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: is they are one of the producers on lanterns and
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: one of the writers obviously one of the big writers
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: you know when you get to that higher level that's
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: when you start writing whole episodes and you executive produce
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: episodes and that's what they did on this one Off top,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: this joint was incredible. You know what I mean? Like,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: black excellence in all its levels. That's, you know, it
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: was the theme of the episode, and it was exemplified
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: through the episode in the writing, in the directing, in
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: the acting, in everything. This was probably my favorite episode
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: of the series so far. I mean, the series has
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: been incredible straight through, but this joint right here, lit.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Super lit. Chat, what did y'all think? Let me see.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: All right, we got The Jug, Zion Artist, Joseph, Toya Johnson,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: White People Gonna Be Mad Tonight, Stay Mad, Word Up.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I think somebody already said that. Yeah, Zion Artist said
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: they're glad to catch it. Oh, yeah, Daniel Jones. Daniel
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: was saying that, I love her for myself, but I
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: know based on this episode, some white folks are that anti-woke.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Ain't gonna like what his mama was saying in this episode,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: True indeed. We've already distrust this on our lanterns reviews
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: because some people have said, you know, they don't like
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: to see politics or that type of thing in their entertainment,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: which I tell people again and again is pure bullshit.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Basically what it is, you don't like it when you
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: disagree with it. You know what I mean?
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: When you agree with the politics in episodes or in art, whatever,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: you don't even care about it.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: You don't even notice it for the most part.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: And usually most politics are upholding the status quo, so
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: of course you don't disagree with it because you agree
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: with the status quo, you know? People like me and
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: others don't, and so I love to see things like this.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I thought this episode, and, you know, as we are
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: shouting people out, let me shout out Jasmine Cephas Jones,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: who portrayed the mother of John in this episode and
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: did God's work.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? I mean, just.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Absolutely incredible work. We'd already seen, you know, John Sr. And,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: you know, of course, I don't have the actor's name
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: on top. If somebody can drop it in the chat
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: for me, because I don't want to stop to look.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: It up right now.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: But, you know, we already know that man puts in
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: the work. And then we got to see Jasmine, Miss Jones,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: you know. I mean, she owned this episode. They owned
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: this episode from beginning to end. It was incredible work.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Also got to shout out Laura Linney. who always, you
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: know what I mean, Laura always comes through, but I didn't,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I've never seen Jasmine up to my knowledge, and.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: They did that thing, man, they did.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: It, all right, so, chat, once again, everybody is saying,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Jameson says this episode was pure fire, Daniel Jones says,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: fun fact, she's also the daughter from Gullah Gullah Island,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: I did not know that, People are really going to
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: be mad at this episode. I haven't been this invested
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: in a show since Stand-Up. Comics are dope. Let's do it, fam. Yo,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: we're going to have to get you on this next
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: live joint. I wanted to get you on this one,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: but we'll definitely get you on the next week one.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Shout out to everybody in
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: the chat. Boogie, you're J. Alphonse. Thank you, Zion and
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: all this. Yes, J.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Alphonse did the thing. I mean, yo, everyone in this episode,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, we already know Aaron Pierre, you know, obviously
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: has been killing it, John. There's so much I want
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: to talk about, but first of all, like the whole
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: family being in on it was something that I thought
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: about and it's wild to see. Like this episode is
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: so crazy because it really hits home for so much
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: that I know a lot of black people grew up with,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: where it was like you had to, I mean, go
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: above and beyond isn't even the word, but it's just,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Having to live up to standards that are impossible to
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: live up to. And like they said in the end
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: of it, you know, even if you don't reach that excellence,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: good is still good enough. But it's tough for us
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: to even live with that. I mean, man, you know,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: there's so much like I was sitting there watching it.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: And one thing that I was really struck by was
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: I was wondering, do black people have to live in fear?
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Like, is that really our state of being, at least
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: in America? I know that's not the state of being
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: everywhere in the world because I've been other places in
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: the world and I did not feel like the constant fear.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: But I have to say that, yeah, man, like at
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: least for me, living in America, I feel like we
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: do live in a state of constant fear. And that's
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: something that is tough to accept, to think about, to
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: talk about.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Whew. Yo.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Yo, shout out to Jameson Childress with the $ 10 drop.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Thank you for that, yo.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Showing love from Scepter 202. It's the Green Lantern of
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Howard University.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: H-U.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Appreciate you doing a live review. Appreciate you doing a
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: live review, bro.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Thank you.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I do too, man. You know, I am like, I'm
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: in on it. Like someone else said, I ain't been
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: in this. I didn't watch the end all like this.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: But I haven't been this invested in a show since Watchmen.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: I can say that. I'm really loving that it's week
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: to week so that we get to talk about it
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: like this. Let me see what the chat's talking about
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: real quick.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Let's see. I'm in fear that they'll take this show
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: away after this episode. You know what I mean?
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Like, it feels like Wonder Man once again, right?
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: You know, you get something so beautiful and so great, and,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: you know, how can they keep giving it to us?
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: I have no idea.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: As Shay Black says, if DC keeps up with this,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: then they're about to blow Marvel out of the water.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: That is... I mean, this... Yeah, fam. Like, this episode was... It's...
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: There's so much, like... People were talking about that.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: You know, we had this discussion on the show when
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: people were saying they didn't want to see how race,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: someone actually said race derailed Watchmen.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: And for me to.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: See blackness like this on a show, to see blackness
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: portrayed like this on a show, because it's so rare
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: that you get to see purity like that on something.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't know how you can say it
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: could ever derail something. I can only say that it
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: only brings greatness to the table. It's just like when
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: we got to see Sinners, you know, we'd never seen
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: something like that. It's just like when we get to
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: see Get Out and any other Jordan Peele production. It's
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: like you don't get to see these type of things.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: And so when you get to see them, it's such
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: a rarity and it's so crazy to see because it
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: just brings so much character and so much flavor to
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: what could otherwise.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Be a bland show about Green Lanterns. Yeah, this is stupid.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Danny Joy, I love seeing both parents are still alive.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: All episode, I was sitting there thinking that at some point,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: John is going to shoot the mom, and I was not.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I'm so happy the restraint that they did not go there. Yeah,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: and like you said, I'm so happy that the parents
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: are both still alive because even though this family is
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: filled with so much trauma, it's amazing to see that
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: we'll get to see them grow and hopefully recover from
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: some of the trauma that that their lives have been
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: so far. Jameson said, I even appreciate how they brought
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: up race from the perspective versus the Guardians and humans.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: And let's talk about that because I thought that was
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: really ill as well. The name of the Guardian was
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Lianys and that was portrayed by Laura Linney. And I
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: thought that was really dope because It just showed like
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: you can give this woman this giant ass diamond. And
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: what could a black woman do like do with a
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: diamond like that? Nothing for real. You know, the cops
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: are going to come investigate you. They eventually did get
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: to sell it and use the money for, you know,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: all the training and the path that they were on.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: But just that just the idea that when John is approached,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: of course, he's going to be in fear because he's
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: in fear for his family. You know, and that would
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: have made him the perfect Green Lantern, like they said
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: in the after show. But that fear and immediately, you know,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: X's him out. And the Guardians are aware that their
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: recruitment process isn't the best. So that's why when they
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: come to. John Jr., it's much better with him. Trauma
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: bonds people, Toya. Yeah, true indeed. That is truth because
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: I've been through some traumatic situations in my life and
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: it's definitely bonded me. with people who I didn't know
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: before those instances, and it's bonded me for life with them.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: So I feel that 100%. One thing I want to
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: touch on is, I mean, there were so many bars
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: from Bernadette. That was John's mom. She dropped so many
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: bars in this episode. But one of the most beautiful
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: ones was courage is fear that has said its prayers.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: I thought that was such a.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Incredible line man you know i mean i had to
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: sit there and you know it just hit me like
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: chills up the spine talking about like courage is fear
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: that has said his prayers was absolutely incredible and just
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: again so much blackness you know to see a black
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: mom and a black dad raising their black son and
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: the you know knowing the things that he has to
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: face to put him out into the world I mean,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: we talk about the shooting, the apple off the head
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: and how traumatic that is. But also, you know, in
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: this episode, we see John being abandoned. You know, we
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: see him being an outcast. We see his own family
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: not understanding him. Once again, all those levels of blackness
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: when his own little brothers are saying, oh, you talk
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: like a white guy named Henry. You know, it's all
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: these things that we as a people, we experience it.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: And all of us, especially a lot of nerds out there,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: have probably experienced it themselves where they felt like the outcast,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: where they felt like the one who, you know, couldn't
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: relate to other people of their, you know, other black people.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Whew, man. man man man.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: What an episode right uh xylan artist says when she
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: sent john this art school i felt emotional as f
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: man like it was that was very beautiful for me
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: because we get to see that side of john that
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: we know from the comics you know the architect the
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: artist when he put that watch together when he made
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: that construct that was the emotional moment for me Because, like,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: we saw it being created from the inside out. You know,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: how John does things. I almost jumped out of my
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: seat right there, yo. Like, there was that. You know,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: just absolutely incredible. Available now at ForAllNerds.com. The Gucci Mandalorian.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: The Variants. The Dunkin' A. The Lion-O-Richie. New designs coming soon.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: But yeah, all right. So, oh, shout out to Daniel
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Jones with the 20 bomb. Wow. It's crazy in here
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: right now. Hold up.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: This is why it's important to have black writers and
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: artists and comics to explore these backgrounds for these characters.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: While you may have good white writers and comics, shout
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: out to the one and only Jonathan Hittman, but that
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: doesn't have our experiences for it to be explored.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Word up.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Like, hey, you know, as a black comic writer myself,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: I feel that a thousand percent. As a black writer
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: in Hollywood, I feel that a thousand percent. Thank you
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: for that love, you know, once again on that.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: But for real, like.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Vanessa was talking about in the after show when she
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: was saying, when they were saying that there isn't a
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: real origin story for John. And I didn't really know that.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: I know, you know, John, you know, he gets the ring,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: et cetera. Sometimes he's a sniper. Sometimes he's an architect.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: but I didn't know that we never got into John's
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: family like that. I did not know that into an
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: actual origin story. And now this is where I'm actually like, yo,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: I love this episode, but it's also one of those things.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: It's like, damn, you know, the black man gets the
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: harsh ass origin story, doesn't he? But again, I love
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: the realism that that brings to the table.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Because once again, that is how we are trained and it's,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Sad to say that we have to say train, but
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: that is how we are raised in this country. You know,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: you have to have no fear, but you also have
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: to know, you know, all these things are always out
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: to get you as a black person in America.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: It's crazy. The levels, man, crazy levels.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: James said, when John said, I've lived in the same
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: house with my family for 18 years, I grew up
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: missing them.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, Lord have mercy. You are never lying, fam. No,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: there was a lot. There's a lot to unpack.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: We're going to have our full review, of course, dropping Tuesday.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: But I just wanted to do this live. We're going
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: to be doing these lives every Sunday night. I'm not
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: sure if I'll be here next week. We'll see who's
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: going to be doing it. But we'll figure that out.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: But yeah, every Sunday night, we're going to be having
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: these lives to discuss it. because Lanterns has just been
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: an incredible show so far, and I just have so
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: much to talk about. Another thing that we need to
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: talk about is Hal Jordan in this episode, because Midwest
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Hudstables is some of the wildest-ish, and once again, some
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: of the most realistic, All right, like I grew up,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: you know, my best friend, literally my best friend growing
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: up is a Jewish kid, Zev.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: I'm still super tight with Zev to this day.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: And we've discussed this, like, you know, I grew up
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: around a lot of white people, just like I grew
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: up black people. Like I grew up in Houston, Texas,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: where Third Ward, which is historically black neighborhood, and I
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: was bused to a school full of everyone. So I
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: just grew up with everyone around me. And stuff like
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Midwest Huxtables is the type of, What do they say?
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Microaggressions that you would just hear from white people all
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: of the time. Like I'll never forget. We were watching
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Terminator as a kid with Zev's parents. And when the
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: black cop showed up on screen, they're like, Oh Ben,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: there you go. And then, you know, 10 minutes later
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: when the black cop did shot, they're like, Oh Ben,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: you know, and I'm sitting there like.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: I do nothing like this Negro and fuck cops. You
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: know what I mean?
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: So, Yeah, that was one of them ones, yo. Midwest
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Huxtables was one of them ones where I'm just sitting
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: there like, what are you talking about, Hal? You are,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: just like we said last week, the arrogance, the privilege
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: that Hal Jordan exemplifies. I mean, he is a white
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: man who is a test pilot. You know, pilots in
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: general have to be a bit fearless, a bit arrogant,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: and to be a test pilot to fly planes... that
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: might crash every time you go out into them. It's
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: pure arrogance. So we see it all the way through. Chad,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: let me see what y'all talking about real quick. The
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: way Lil Jon rapped AT Aliens broke my heart. He
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: knew the words, but not how to say them. It's
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: not just because he was listening through a wall. It's
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: also because he was raised, you know, as different, where
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: he's not raised to be in the blackness.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: You know, he's raised to be.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Like they said, classical music and stuff he's listening to,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: so he's not, you know, he's not saying, oh, yeah,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: you know, he's not getting it, like, man, couldn't be
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: easy for John, because now we love him even more,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: word up, like, word up, got Hal's straight ass on
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: his old age, but Hal has always been an asshole,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: that's the Hal Jordan that I knew in the comics, like, Spoilers,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Hal Jordan does a lot of wild out stuff, and
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: I mean wild out stuff in the comics, so that
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: was nothing. Hal gave me pure veteran QB feeling threatened
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: by that rookie energy word up. What was that joint
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: with Marlon Wayans? Oh my God, what's the name of
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: that wild out ass movie that I saw? Reviews on
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: For All Nerds, I cannot remember the name of it,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: but Marlon Wayans did do an excellent job in that
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: crazy ass movie. All right, let me see what I
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: got else for y'all. What else do we want to
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: talk about before we get up out of here? Okay,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: there was a few things that were solved this episode
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: because I know a lot of people have been going
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: all over with the theories. And especially that one shot
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: of the Guardian revealing themselves to Bernadette had people, you know...
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: I'm imagining everything in the world about that. I know
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: people thought that that might be the Martian Manhunter because
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: of the cross on the back.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: All kind of things. I know the Martians in general
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: have been brought up a lot. I feel like this
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: episode is.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Really narrowing things down for what, you know, is going
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: to be in this season at least. And I'm happy
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: for that. You know, I mean, I'm really happy for that.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: So we have confirmed that was a Guardian that was
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: not a Manhunter. That was not the Martian Manhunter. And
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: I do not think we will be seeing the white
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: or green Martians in this series, perhaps. But I'm going to,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: you know, probably get that. I don't think so.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not sure. Him.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Toya, thank you. That was the name of that joint.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: And yeah, definitely giving more any given Sunday. Shout out
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: to the.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: Legend, Steeming. Willie, wait, Steeming. Yes, Willie Beamon. Yeah, Steeming
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Willie Beamon. Oh, like.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: It down shout out to you in the house just
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: finished watching it yeah definitely so good one of the
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: best episodes for me of the season incredible um yeah
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: like i said i mentioned everything about that I really
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: want to know where his brothers, Marcus and Aaron, are
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: at right now, what is going on with them, and
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: I really hope, and I don't even have to hope,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: I know we're going to see more from them, because
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: I really trust the writing and everything else that's been
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: going on on this show right now, so I'm not
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: even worried about that, but it will be interesting to
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: see what is going on with them, because like I say,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: it was interesting to see how the whole family was
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: in on it, how Marcus and Aaron have the alienation,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: just like john has in a different way you know
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: from his family everyone in this family has a lot
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: of trauma i mean we see john shooting out tvs
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: and barking on the mom in front of the boys
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: when they're very young so they see all this they
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: grow up with hearing the gunshots of john getting apple
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: shot off his head so i'd love.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: To see what's going on with them.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: And i did want to mention a couple things it
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: was dope scene the little boom tube i think that's
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: what there was when john stepped through it because it
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: made the booming noise so i figure boom tube whenever
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: i see the booming.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: Noise and uh.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: What john talking to the guardian and saying you can't
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: explain family to someone.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: Who doesn't have one was a reed And.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Also interesting because John's family is so effed up that
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: it's really interesting that he still considers it family, you know, when.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: But I guess we all do, you know, and it
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: boils down to it.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: We all got effed up families and we still are
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: all going to consider them, you know, our families.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: So, yeah. All right.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Let me see chat before we get out of here.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Like I said, you know, we'll be back on Tuesday
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: with the full review. We got a very special guest
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: this week, you know, for all nerds family.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: But let me show.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Daniel Jones said when they showed the Guardian transformation had
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: my hands up like I wasn't expecting that. Now I
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: was waiting for that. It'll be interesting to see if
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: they keep how in the DCU moving forward. He and
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: John got nowhere to go from here.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Right now, the Howes, we know, you know, got a
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: bullet in their head, so it will be interesting to
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: see if they keep down the DCU moving forward.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: We shall see about that.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: The Way of Chun-Li says white people on Reddit are
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: mad already?
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Already? Like, they mad already? Already?
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Oh my god i love it actually i can't i
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: can't lie i love it i mean stay mad like
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: this is nothing but truth in this episode that's why
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: it's i think that's what makes people upset you know
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: because like you know tom cruise told him you can't
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: handle the truth right it's you know i mean not
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: tom jack nicholson told tom you can't handle the truth
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: you know i mean it's a lot of people can't
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: and that's why they say they don't like their you
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: know to hear about politics and art etc like I
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: posted this on thread today. Someone brought it up again,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: how zombie mythology comes from Haiti and it comes, the
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: original zombie stories were black slaves worrying that they'd be
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: worked so much to death that they would still have
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: to work after they died as slaves. So that's the
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: original zombie mythology. And then, you know, people like George
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Romero heard these stories and took it back to America
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: and And made zombie movies and billions of dollars off
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: of it. And took all the blackness and all the
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: history out of it. But that's most of our art.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: A large percentage of it traces back to black people
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: and black people's trauma. Especially in America. And it's hard
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: for people to accept that. That's just the way it is. Yeah,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: that is just.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: The way it is.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: I hope Kyle Raynor doesn't get hazed. I was already
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: saying that people are going to say that was Kyle
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Rayner walking out of the door, even though he looked
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: like he was as old as.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: John when John was getting interviewed.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: But the way that people are trying to make every
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: connection on this show happen, I'm already saying that they're
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: going to call that Kyle Rayner, if not that some
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: other white Green Lantern that I don't know about. It's
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: like Chun-Li said, people have no idea what we've created,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: like rock music, for example. As the author of Jimi Hendrix,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Purple Haze, in stores now, you can see the copies
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: behind me.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Make sure you pick that up if you haven't already.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Black people created every form of music in America other
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: than what is it? Polka, I think, and bluegrass, right?
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: I think that's it. Other than that, we created every
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: form of music in America. Every single last one of
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: them in the story. No contest. Do your knowledge if
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: you don't know about it. Kyle's my guy. I hope
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: one day we get to see him. Yeah, I do too.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: I love Kyle Rayner, but I'm not really worried about
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Kyle Rayner right now. Maybe for a season two, but
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: this is John's story, and I'm happy with that.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: I'm really happy with that. Yeah. No, trust me. Everyone's
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: going to say that was Kyle Rayner. Everyone.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: It was a white dude, you know, who was auditioning
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: to be Green Lantern. Of course they're going to say
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: it's Kyle Rayner. And I don't know any other prominent
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: white Green Lanterns. you know, dark black hair either. So
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: it's how it goes.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: All right, y'all.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Once again, thank you for joining me. Thank you for
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: joining me chat. This has been awesome. We will definitely
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: be back again that Sunday. We will be here Tuesday,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: early Tuesday, 10 a.m. Eastern time for the full review
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: of lanterns.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: Episode three outcast. This has been so much fun.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Um, anything else before we get out of here, any
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: thoughts y'all have, let me know. And I'll, you know,
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: anything in the chat, drop it in there, and I'll,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: you know, mention it real quick, other than that, you know,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: like I say, we'll be back Tuesday, but, you know,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: for real, thank you, thank you, Joseph, thank you, Zion
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: and Artists, The Way of Chun-Li, everybody else, had a
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: bunch of people in here, Daniel Jones, Amar Bird, Jameson Childress, of.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: Course, Tapwater, Oh, Tapwater86 asked this.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Do you think because of the way he was raised
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: that Jon Stewart cares about other black people?
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't think so. No, not in that like, you know,
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: where he is worried.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: About the overall blackness of things. You know, I don't
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: think that's Jon's thing. Jon is very much about Jon.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Like his mom tells him, you can't care about anybody else.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: You know, so you can't even care about your family.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: you know, I seriously doubt you can worry about, you know,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: other black people or the world in general. So no,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: I do not think John cares about other black people
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: in that, you know, sense. And that's a very great question.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Very great observation. Toya Johnson, thank you for stepping through
• 27:08
