  Hello, and this is your PCJ pop, I'm Olivia, and I'm Shana.
• 0:12
  So Shana, what do you recommend our listeners pop this time?
• 0:18
  I am going to pop Dexter or Original Sin.
• 0:22
  So this is the prequel series that stars a younger Dexter and lots of the people that
• 0:29
  we know recast for the roles as their younger selves and is going to be your perfect lead
• 0:36
  in for Dexter Resurrection, which comes out, I believe, before the end of the year.
• 0:42
  It might even be this summer.
• 0:44
  And that is going to be the sequel to Dexter New Blood.
• 0:49
  So I am all in on the Dexter verse.
• 0:52
  I've seen every episode of everything.
• 0:55
  Dexter Original Sin stars Patrick Gibson as Dexter Morgan.
• 0:58
  He does an incredible job.
• 1:01
  It's you are totally from the first time you see him on screen.
• 1:04
  Like this is Dexter, 100%.
• 1:07
  Molly Brown plays Debra Morgan, Christina Million plays Maria LaGuerreca, do you remember
• 1:12
  Christina Million?
• 1:13
  Yes.
• 1:14
  A.M. to P.M. she's so good in this.
• 1:18
  Chris Slater plays Harry Morgan.
• 1:21
  This is Stacked as L.
• 1:23
  Oh wow.
• 1:24
  Yes.
• 1:25
  Patrick Dempsey is in it.
• 1:26
  The last but not least, our girl Sarah Michelle Geller plays Tanya Martin, who is Dexter's
• 1:32
  new boss.
• 1:33
  Michael C. Hall, the original Dexter is plays like the voice over for the entire thing.
• 1:39
  Like Dexter's internal monologue is voiced by him.
• 1:43
  So it's incredible.
• 1:45
  They redo the original intro in it with him slapping the mosquito with all of the song.
• 1:51
  And I don't know.
• 1:53
  But for a second was I bored or taken out.
• 1:55
  It's funny like the original Dexter series was rotes and you really get to see more of
• 2:03
  what made Dexter into the man that he is today for better words.
• 2:07
  And a lot more about Harry to in his relationship with Dexter's birth mom, the one that he was
• 2:14
  chopped up in that shipping container.
• 2:16
  That he was banging.
• 2:18
  Yeah.
• 2:19
  Maybe.
• 2:20
  So, don't they talk about them the first one?
• 2:23
  Do they talk about it?
• 2:24
  Yeah.
• 2:25
  Do they really?
• 2:26
  Oh, yeah.
• 2:27
  Well, then yeah, they talk about how they're banging it.
• 2:29
  I didn't remember the base that that in the original show.
• 2:32
  But yes, they were having white, the little scandalous affair.
• 2:37
  They were coitising.
• 2:38
  They're coitising hard.
• 2:41
  This show is great.
• 2:42
  I will absolutely pop this.
• 2:43
  Give it a watch before Dexter's resurrection comes out.
• 2:47
  This is essentially Dexter looking back at his life after the abits of Dexter new blood.
• 2:53
  So I'm going to get that a hard pop if you were into the show.
• 2:56
  I love it.
• 2:57
  And what about you, darling?
• 3:00
  My pop is a movie that I know that you actually really liked and actually recommended that I should
• 3:05
  watch.
• 3:06
  And that is companion with your one and only.
• 3:11
  It's so good.
• 3:12
  Yeah.
• 3:13
  So with Sean is one and only Jack Quaid.
• 3:15
  It also stars Sophie Thatcher.
• 3:18
  We have Lucas Gage who is on a freaking tear.
• 3:21
  He is in everything we do.
• 3:23
  Yeah.
• 3:24
  And his agent deserves a bonus.
• 3:28
  I know they work on commission, but he is keeping him booked and busy.
• 3:33
  But if you've never heard of the movie, it is a science fiction thriller.
• 3:38
  And it really focuses on these AI companions.
• 3:43
  So it's like a sex bot that is also focused on a relationship, I guess, is the best way
• 3:49
  to do it.
• 3:50
  Like a robot girlfriend.
• 3:51
  Yeah, a robot girlfriend.
• 3:52
  Or boyfriend, they have boys too.
• 3:54
  Yeah, they have boyfriends too.
• 3:56
  But it is a weekend getaway that turns into chaos when Sophie Thatcher, the robot, becomes
• 4:05
  sentient and things ultimately go, hey, why are you?
• 4:09
  It is so good.
• 4:11
  It's so feminist too.
• 4:13
  It's so feminist.
• 4:14
  Jack Quaid plays such a good, like, nice guy douche.
• 4:20
  And yeah, I really, really loved the movie so much.
• 4:26
  I thought that it was such an interesting take on it.
• 4:28
  I think that as time goes on, we're going to get more and more of these AI commentaries,
• 4:33
  both good and bad.
• 4:35
  I think the first kind of couple AI movies, there was one on Netflix that I saw that was
• 4:39
  so horribly bad.
• 4:41
  There was a lot of AI like years ago with what Haley Joel Osman, I want to say.
• 4:48
  Maybe.
• 4:49
  I don't know.
• 4:50
  But there are some really bad ones out there.
• 4:51
  I liked the Megan Fox one as well.
• 4:53
  It was still bad, but it wasn't that one as bad.
• 4:55
  But yeah, I think that they have a lot of interesting things to say and questions to ask
• 5:00
  us, but all around great, great movie.
• 5:04
  So I want to know before you watch the movie, did you know that she was a robot?
• 5:09
  The trailer kind of gives you the vibe.
• 5:14
  I didn't know.
• 5:16
  I was surprised.
• 5:17
  Oh, you just went in blind.
• 5:18
  Yeah, I went in totally blind because I knew Jack Quaid was in it.
• 5:21
  And I do like Sophie Thatcher too.
• 5:23
  I like her yellow jackets.
• 5:25
  And you start to pick up little hint in the beginning of the movie, like kind of just
• 5:28
  the way he's talking to her.
• 5:30
  And you're like, wow, he's really fucking rude to her.
• 5:33
  And you realize you really went grow up.
• 5:36
  Get a backbone girl.
• 5:37
  And it's a, well, it's your whole purpose.
• 5:39
  Exactly.
• 5:40
  And you're like, why is she with him?
• 5:41
  Oh, okay, that makes sense.
• 5:42
  So yeah, I love that movie too.
• 5:44
  And I'm glad you liked it.
• 5:45
  Yeah, it was really, really great.
• 5:47
  So watch Dexter original sin on a showtime and companion on HBO Max.
• 5:55
  Because now it's HBO Max, baby.
• 5:57
  Yes, it is.
• 5:58
  Bullying does work.
• 5:59
  That's the last thing you're going to say.
• 6:05
  We bullied Max and to bring you back HBO.
• 6:08
  We bullied Sonic into fixing the entire character design.
• 6:11
  Sometimes it's ultra-bullying.
• 6:13
  It's ultra-bullying.
• 6:14
