- 1:08Speaker 1: here for the collapse. We're here for it. So yeah,
- 1:12Speaker 1: we're watching a show that's talking about the collapse of humanity.
- 1:18Speaker 1: The Last of Us Season two, episode two, Uh, it's okay.
- 1:25Speaker 1: It jumped right off, like like from what we went
- 1:28Speaker 1: from episode one to episode two. It's like, you know,
- 1:32Speaker 1: somebody just dropped a brick on the accelerator pedal and
- 1:35Speaker 1: drove us right out into the ocean, you know, to
- 1:37Speaker 1: drown and die. I was like, dude, I mean it
- 1:42Speaker 1: took right off, didn't it. I mean, they did.
- 1:47Speaker 2: It, and they're definitely it definitely felt super rushed. But man,
- 1:51Speaker 2: this episode was really good. It was a really good
- 1:54Speaker 2: like cinematically, it was incredible. I thought the SUTs were great.
- 1:59Speaker 2: The I mean there were some cgi things that was
- 2:02Speaker 2: kind of weird in there, but I mean you can
- 2:04Speaker 2: pass it because like the episode, but it was just
- 2:07Speaker 2: chalkeed full of just like NonStop stuff. It was kind
- 2:10Speaker 2: of like did you watch a Game of Thrones? Did
- 2:12Speaker 2: you watch all the Game of Thrones?
- 2:15Speaker 1: See, I actually haven't seen Game of Thrones any of it,
- 2:19Speaker 1: and I know and I know it's peak. I know
- 2:21Speaker 1: it's peak, but I haven't seen any of it. Now
- 2:25Speaker 1: I haven't really been spoiled. The only thing that this
- 2:28Speaker 1: I've really been spoiled on is the is the Red
- 2:30Speaker 1: Wedding because it's so so iconic of a of an
- 2:34Speaker 1: episode where they slaughter the whole family, so that, I mean,
- 2:38Speaker 1: that's kind of been everywhere. But other than that, I
- 2:41Speaker 1: don't have a whole lot of insight on it. I
- 2:42Speaker 1: actually haven't watched The House of the Dragon either, but
- 2:45Speaker 1: there's a lot of stuff. But there's so much stuff
- 2:47Speaker 1: to watch now. It's like, you know, if you actually
- 2:50Speaker 1: got like a like a real life, then it's tough.
- 2:56Speaker 2: What are you trying to say, dude, what are you
- 2:58Speaker 2: trying to say?
- 2:59Speaker 1: Bron Well, I mean, if it's not your job, you
- 3:02Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. If it's not your job to
- 3:04Speaker 1: watch stuff and review it, and that's how you make
- 3:07Speaker 1: your make your living. Like I mean, I'm I'm you know,
- 3:10Speaker 1: six thirty to five thirty Monday through Friday.
- 3:13Speaker 2: You're a hard working man.
- 3:15Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel that matwork.
- 3:18Speaker 2: But that kind of but it kind of sucks though,
- 3:19Speaker 2: because there there are some relation that you can kind
- 3:24Speaker 2: of put on Game of Thrones in this episode of
- 3:28Speaker 2: the Last of Us, Like there's a lot of different
- 3:32Speaker 2: parallels between the first season of Game of Thrones and
- 3:37Speaker 2: this episode of the Last of Us including Pedro Pascal.
- 3:43Speaker 2: Pedro Pascal was also in Thrones. He wasn't in the
- 3:47Speaker 2: first season, is he?
- 3:49Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean now I think we're wearing Pedro Pascal out.
- 3:55Speaker 1: Now we hold him out. Now we need to calm down. Okay,
- 3:59Speaker 1: I mean, damn, the man has made some money over
- 4:01Speaker 1: the past ten years. Dude. He's in everything.
- 4:05Speaker 2: He is.
- 4:06Speaker 1: I mean, that's kind of franchises he's in.
- 4:09Speaker 2: Yeah, he's gonna be in Fantastic for he's playing Mister
- 4:11Speaker 2: Fantastic and Fantastic four. He was in Game of Thrones, Narcos,
- 4:15Speaker 2: The Last.
- 4:16Speaker 1: Of Us, all Wars is the Mandalorian. It's like it's like, hey,
- 4:23Speaker 1: we got a big role, so where's Pedro at.
- 4:27Speaker 2: That's kind of how it feels. That's how it feels
- 4:29Speaker 2: about it. They seem to get on like one person
- 4:32Speaker 2: and they kind of like blow them up and then
- 4:33Speaker 2: they fizzle out over the last the next five years,
- 4:36Speaker 2: Like for a really long time, it was the Rock
- 4:38Speaker 2: and the Rock was in freaking everything. Dude. No, he's
- 4:42Speaker 2: kind of like fell off, So it's not now time
- 4:44Speaker 2: for them to build up the next person that's going
- 4:46Speaker 2: to be in everything, and that seems to be Pedro Pascal,
- 4:49Speaker 2: which I don't mind. I think I love Pedro Pascal.
- 4:52Speaker 2: I think he's a great, phenomenal actor. Phenomenal actor.
- 4:56Speaker 1: I think. Yeah, I think we have a lack of
- 5:00Speaker 1: Kahm movie stars. All our movie stars, like true movie stars,
- 5:03Speaker 1: are aging or old. You think about young movie because
- 5:08Speaker 1: Patriot's not young like you think about your up and
- 5:11Speaker 1: coming young movie stars. Who is it like Tom Holland, Uh,
- 5:16Speaker 1: it was it Timothy Shallow may catch you could say
- 5:20Speaker 1: Michael B. Jordan's, But they they, I don't know, it's
- 5:27Speaker 1: not the same. They're not like a name name like
- 5:30Speaker 1: you like you know, they used to back in the
- 5:32Speaker 1: day when they had a movie come out, they didn't
- 5:35Speaker 1: put the name of the movie up there, and they
- 5:36Speaker 1: put Stalloon Schwartzenegger. You know what I'm saying, Tom Cruise,
- 5:42Speaker 1: Bruce Willis. I mean, that's what that's what would be
- 5:44Speaker 1: on the poster, be just as big as the name
- 5:47Speaker 1: of the movie might be bigger.
- 5:48Speaker 2: No, it's Sydney Sweeney is like the next Yeah, well
- 5:57Speaker 2: that's really a big titties. So that's all she's what
- 6:00Speaker 2: she does.
- 6:02Speaker 1: Some people were saying she was me, And I'm like,
- 6:04Speaker 1: because they've seen her in her backyard and she didn't
- 6:06Speaker 1: have like makeup on. I'm like, obviously y'all haven't been
- 6:09Speaker 1: around like real women without makeup. Like like, if you've
- 6:13Speaker 1: actually dated a woman like you understand what they look
- 6:15Speaker 1: like ninety percent of the time. You know, I don't
- 6:19Speaker 1: look like what you see uh in bublic when they're
- 6:21Speaker 1: going out to the club, all right, it's gone a
- 6:24Speaker 1: and hey. And every time they hit you with this line,
- 6:26Speaker 1: they hit you with this line says oh, oh, I'm oh,
- 6:31Speaker 1: I dressed like this because you know it's comfortable. I said, no,
- 6:34Speaker 1: it's not. Just see what they look like at the
- 6:36Speaker 1: grib with they man to be out there, baggy joggers,
- 6:40Speaker 1: oversized shirt. You'd be like, damn cuh. But you're fine
- 6:44Speaker 1: with it because you're getting the pen any So I mean, yeah,
- 6:48Speaker 1: that's all the Yeah, that's the that's the big thing.
- 6:52Speaker 1: So last of Us episode two, we kick right off
- 6:57Speaker 1: of course, where we ended with the last one is
- 7:00Speaker 1: Abby overlooking the town, all right. She found where Jackson
- 7:03Speaker 1: is at and they're trying to devise a plan and
- 7:07Speaker 1: her friend was like, look, I'm gonna get her to
- 7:10Speaker 1: go out there and freeze her ass off, and then
- 7:12Speaker 1: when she gets back here, I'm gonna try to convince
- 7:15Speaker 1: her like, we ain't got a shot in hell, you know,
- 7:17Speaker 1: so let's take our ass back home. They got the numbers.
- 7:22Speaker 1: If we roll up in there, they're gonna fuck us up. Okay,
- 7:25Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it. But in a stroke of luck, Okay,
- 7:29Speaker 1: in a stroke of luck, the town of Jackson awakens
- 7:36Speaker 1: the Horde, and we've seen the the the beginnings of
- 7:41Speaker 1: that in episode one when at the end of the
- 7:43Speaker 1: episode you've seen the little sparkle go off and the
- 7:46Speaker 1: courtercepts kind of you know, up here through the pipes.
- 7:51Speaker 1: So the quartercets have been growing through the pipes. And
- 7:53Speaker 1: I don't from what I'm understanding, I don't think it
- 7:56Speaker 1: was like this in the game, but they've made it.
- 7:58Speaker 1: They've translated to the TV series. If you step on
- 8:03Speaker 1: any of the fun guy Corda seips, then it alerts
- 8:07Speaker 1: any hoard within you know, I'm guessing the two or
- 8:11Speaker 1: three mile radius from what it looks like.
- 8:14Speaker 2: Well, I really liked it in the beginning because they
- 8:17Speaker 2: they did what my biggest complaint was in the first episode,
- 8:22Speaker 2: which is that they didn't give any backstory to anything
- 8:25Speaker 2: that was going on, and they just kind of threw
- 8:28Speaker 2: you in the middle of it. But it actually turns
- 8:31Speaker 2: out that the second game is essentially like that. But
- 8:38Speaker 2: that's a disadvantage that I have in that you have
- 8:41Speaker 2: is like, we didn't play the games, so we don't
- 8:45Speaker 2: really know exactly what the deal is. But apparently in
- 8:49Speaker 2: the second game, you pretty much play through fifty to
- 8:53Speaker 2: sixty hours of gameplay and have no idea the motivation
- 8:58Speaker 2: behind the character. You don't know the backstory. You don't
- 9:02Speaker 2: know who Abby is, where she came from, why she
- 9:05Speaker 2: did what she did, until like near the end of
- 9:08Speaker 2: the game. So it makes more sense now that I
- 9:13Speaker 2: know that that that's kind of how they set it
- 9:16Speaker 2: up in the in the first episode. They're trying to
- 9:18Speaker 2: stay true to the game, which I actually do. I
- 9:21Speaker 2: respect that even though I didn't play the game. I
- 9:23Speaker 2: wasn't a fan of the games. I'm looking at as
- 9:25Speaker 2: a pure watching it on TV, you know, and but
- 9:29Speaker 2: I respect that. I respect the fact that they are
- 9:32Speaker 2: trying to do their best to stay as close to
- 9:35Speaker 2: the game as they possibly can. But that's why I
- 9:38Speaker 2: didn't think that it was going to go down the
- 9:40Speaker 2: way that it was going to go down, and was like, Okay,
- 9:41Speaker 2: they're gonna have They're gonna wait because remember last week,
- 9:44Speaker 2: I was like, they're gonna wait for the event because
- 9:46Speaker 2: everyone's talking about the event. Well this episode was the event.
- 9:50Speaker 1: Okay, but yeah, I'm surprised by that the quickness of it.
- 9:56Speaker 1: Like I think Meet and you both were thinking either
- 9:58Speaker 1: the either new the end of probably the end of
- 10:01Speaker 1: the season. I think that's what I was thinking, because
- 10:05Speaker 1: we were going to split, you know, part two of
- 10:08Speaker 1: the video game into into the last two seasons, so
- 10:13Speaker 1: we were thinking at the end of the season where
- 10:15Speaker 1: we see this and no, yes, hey, and spoiler alert, guys,
- 10:22Speaker 1: uh this is this is the episode Joel dies. Spoiler
- 10:28Speaker 1: alert Okay, did I did I do that quick enough?
- 10:33Speaker 2: You did it right out the game? Perfect? And I
- 10:36Speaker 2: want to explain my theory on why they chose the
- 10:40Speaker 2: second episode the further we get into the discussion and
- 10:44Speaker 2: further we get down down the road, because I actually
- 10:47Speaker 2: think that it's perfect timing. There isn't any other way
- 10:51Speaker 2: that they could have done this and not had a
- 10:57Speaker 2: super dramatic drop off of viewership, which we're going to
- 11:00Speaker 2: obviously get into in the rest of the discussion, but
- 11:03Speaker 2: I just liked the The atmosphere of this episode was
- 11:07Speaker 2: really great. It's in the middle of a snowstorm, which
- 11:10Speaker 2: is kind of weird though too, because there was one
- 11:12Speaker 2: shot where it was really heavy snow and then it
- 11:14Speaker 2: just the next shot there was no snow. I was like, okay, whatever,
- 11:18Speaker 2: I can give him a pass on that. I can
- 11:19Speaker 2: give him a break on that.
- 11:20Speaker 1: Corey not Corey, I mean Rider. It's because they shot
- 11:25Speaker 1: this actually during the snowstorm. Yeah, like it like if
- 11:29Speaker 1: you look at the like I looked at the always
- 11:31Speaker 1: try to stick around and see what the the writers
- 11:35Speaker 1: and producers and stuff we're thinking. But yeah, they actually
- 11:40Speaker 1: shot it in the snowstorm.
- 11:42Speaker 2: Like.
- 11:44Speaker 1: When they when they were out there cold, like they
- 11:46Speaker 1: were cold, straight up cold. Yeah, and I like that.
- 11:52Speaker 2: I like that.
- 11:54Speaker 1: Yeah, that's probably that's probably why why it looked like that,
- 11:57Speaker 1: because you know, sometimes it's snow and heavy and sometimes
- 11:59Speaker 1: it's not, So that's probably that's probably why it looked
- 12:02Speaker 1: like that.
- 12:03Speaker 2: But they set it up really amazing. They from the
- 12:08Speaker 2: very beginning, Joel's brother was like, Hey, we're gonna take
- 12:12Speaker 2: some precautions here. We think that there might be a
- 12:15Speaker 2: hord that's nearby. They're they're barrow barrowing themselves underneath other
- 12:21Speaker 2: dud horde infructed zombies.
- 12:24Speaker 1: Which is which is weird?
- 12:25Speaker 2: Dude?
- 12:26Speaker 1: How far away did they do that from? And like
- 12:31Speaker 1: and like look, that's like the fun guy knows. I mean,
- 12:36Speaker 1: that's like super scary dude. You know what I'm saying,
- 12:39Speaker 1: The fun guy creeping on you.
- 12:42Speaker 2: It's just like covid, Bro, Covid knows. Covid knows where
- 12:45Speaker 2: you are, what time of the day it is, what
- 12:48Speaker 2: the arrows are in the grocery store, it knows, bro.
- 12:52Speaker 1: Yeah, whether you're eating eating in the at the restaurant
- 12:55Speaker 1: at your table or not. If you're eating in the
- 12:57Speaker 1: restaurant at your table, you get the minute you stay,
- 13:00Speaker 1: end up and walk away from the table day ready
- 13:03Speaker 1: for you to bounce and ceased. O man, I think
- 13:14Speaker 1: I think the Convy was like that. It's just it's
- 13:16Speaker 1: just like these quartersteps. Soon didn't realize that that ship
- 13:22Speaker 1: burn burrowing through the winter, through the winter air to
- 13:25Speaker 1: get to you. You know what I'm saying, burrowed down, bro,
- 13:30Speaker 1: burrowed down for a minute. Oh man, So when Abby
- 13:37Speaker 1: slides down the mountain when she loses her footing. Look,
- 13:40Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest with you, Like, if somebody told
- 13:45Speaker 1: me that Abby was a it was an actual like
- 13:52Speaker 1: Melitia like this Abby, I'd be like, No, she's not.
- 13:55Speaker 1: She seems clumsy and like weird with a weapon. Maybe
- 14:03Speaker 1: it won't the best pick as far as uh, you know,
- 14:08Speaker 1: uh the person to play Abby, and you know, there's
- 14:14Speaker 1: been a lot of criticism on that, uh, and it's
- 14:17Speaker 1: been criticism with Allie as well as far as uh
- 14:22Speaker 1: the young lady that they picked to play Allie. But
- 14:26Speaker 1: I don't know Abby, seeing when whenever I picked some
- 14:28Speaker 1: stuff from the game, you know, the Abby's like ripped up.
- 14:31Speaker 1: She's been training for this moment to confront Joel. Uh.
- 14:36Speaker 1: She seems really well versed with weaponry. I said, It's
- 14:40Speaker 1: just like I don't know something about Abby and this
- 14:43Speaker 1: she just seems like she seems like an actual girl,
- 14:47Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like, not like g I
- 14:50Speaker 1: Jane type uh had Do you have you gotten that
- 14:53Speaker 1: feeling from from seeing Abby and the ways like she's
- 14:57Speaker 1: approached things.
- 14:58Speaker 2: Yes, I do see that a little bit, But I
- 15:01Speaker 2: actually believe her more than I believed that one lady
- 15:06Speaker 2: that ran the city in the in season one, what
- 15:09Speaker 2: was her name, Kathleen? Okay, I believe Abby more than
- 15:15Speaker 2: I believe that freaking Kathleen woman that was running what
- 15:19Speaker 2: was the Chicago or whatever it was, It was running
- 15:22Speaker 2: that big band of like raiders and all that. Like
- 15:25Speaker 2: she was gone, awful, dude, I did not believe that
- 15:28Speaker 2: she was in control of anything, at least the actor
- 15:31Speaker 2: that plays Abbey. Yeah, she's kind of scrawny and not
- 15:34Speaker 2: really big and bulky, but at least she's a good actor,
- 15:39Speaker 2: well good actress halfway, And like, I believe her more
- 15:44Speaker 2: than I believe that freaking I think that lady was
- 15:48Speaker 2: also in Yellow Jackets, Baleen Lozinski I think is her
- 15:53Speaker 2: name and whatever, But yeah, she's just not a good
- 15:56Speaker 2: actor in that role did not fit her in the
- 15:58Speaker 2: first season, what was it like episode five or six
- 16:01Speaker 2: or something like that where that whole thing.
- 16:03Speaker 1: Went down, Yeah, yeah, where they were trying to.
- 16:05Speaker 2: Get through the city. But yeah, I mean, they could
- 16:09Speaker 2: have done a little bit better of an actress for Abby,
- 16:15Speaker 2: But I can I can overlook it because it's at
- 16:18Speaker 2: least more believable than the first season with Kathleen because
- 16:22Speaker 2: I was just gone off.
- 16:23Speaker 1: Okay, well I was looking. I was looking for Abby's
- 16:26Speaker 1: pure hatred to keep her warm out there, you know
- 16:29Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But what was she even thinking?
- 16:33Speaker 2: Bro, you think you're gonna scale down a freaking giant
- 16:36Speaker 2: mountain in Wyoming, a snowfalled mountain, Like, what were you
- 16:39Speaker 2: even thinking?
- 16:40Speaker 1: Like she was trying to dig that she didn't like
- 16:44Speaker 1: she had spikes in her in her shoes day, so
- 16:46Speaker 1: like it's not gonna make a lot. You see when
- 16:50Speaker 1: people do that, they got their shoes with the spikes
- 16:52Speaker 1: in them, they dig in. So, I mean, you know,
- 16:58Speaker 1: but she ate she's seen the opportunity she seesed of course,
- 17:01Speaker 1: you know, it's always and this happened in the game. Now,
- 17:04Speaker 1: in the game, it was Tommy and Joel that was
- 17:09Speaker 1: out on patrol, so so Tommy, h it's not Dina
- 17:13Speaker 1: and Joel. So that's that's one of the things that
- 17:15Speaker 1: they switched from the game, sending Dina out on patrol.
- 17:20Speaker 1: And it was kind of weird because when my other
- 17:24Speaker 1: guy went and got Allie, she seemed almost disappointed that
- 17:30Speaker 1: she wasn't nowt on patrol Joel, even though the previous episode,
- 17:35Speaker 1: she hated his guts and it didn't want to talk
- 17:37Speaker 1: to him. So I was like, that kind of threw
- 17:39Speaker 1: me off a little bit. I was like, hold on
- 17:40Speaker 1: a second. It's almost like I missed something again, you
- 17:46Speaker 1: know at the time where I was like, hold on,
- 17:47Speaker 1: I miss something? Did we miss something? How many days
- 17:50Speaker 1: has passed? You know what I'm saying? Did we miss
- 17:52Speaker 1: ten days worth?
- 17:54Speaker 2: And that's what that guy was asking her. He was like, Oh,
- 17:56Speaker 2: so you guys like made up, you guys like talked
- 17:58Speaker 2: about it.
- 18:01Speaker 1: Yeah. He was confused to He's like, did I be
- 18:06Speaker 1: a something? Didn't you just say to here with you
- 18:09Speaker 1: last night?
- 18:10Speaker 2: Or did?
- 18:10Speaker 1: Or do we time travel that? You see what I'm saying.
- 18:13Speaker 1: So I think I don't know if that was a
- 18:16Speaker 1: writer full of up or not, or if we or
- 18:18Speaker 1: if we fast forward at multiple days and there's some
- 18:22Speaker 1: stuff that we missed, uh that we're gonna be shown later.
- 18:26Speaker 1: I'm not sure because I got a feeling flashback cities
- 18:29Speaker 1: on the way. Yeah, so their back city is on
- 18:33Speaker 1: the way.
- 18:34Speaker 2: They're definitely gonna be flashbacking, bro, because you're not just
- 18:37Speaker 2: gonna have Pedro Pascal. In the first two episodes of
- 18:40Speaker 2: your show and not have him do absolutely anything. They're
- 18:43Speaker 2: gonna be going, They're gonna be flashedback in all the way.
- 18:50Speaker 2: It's gonna be a flashback every freaking couple of minutes
- 18:53Speaker 2: in these coming episodes, because I mean, what are they
- 18:56Speaker 2: gonna do? I mean, really, all that they can do
- 18:59Speaker 2: is like have like, you know, Ellie back at camp,
- 19:03Speaker 2: back at you know, long Hole or whatever they call
- 19:06Speaker 2: her their wyoming hole.
- 19:08Speaker 1: Yeah, and go.
- 19:12Speaker 2: Long Hole. She's back in the long Hole. But what
- 19:17Speaker 2: are they going to do with that? I mean, it's
- 19:18Speaker 2: gonna be like a bunch of rebuilding. They're gonna be
- 19:20Speaker 2: rebuilding the whole thing. And of course Ellie's friends is
- 19:24Speaker 2: gonna tell her because we already saw in the preview
- 19:26Speaker 2: that she's She's like I know who they are, I
- 19:28Speaker 2: know where they're from, blah blah blah blah blah, and
- 19:30Speaker 2: like they you know, they stuck her with a needle
- 19:32Speaker 2: and knocked her out or whatever, but she still knows.
- 19:36Speaker 2: So she's gonna tell Ellie all this stuff, and then
- 19:39Speaker 2: what what are they going to do for three or
- 19:42Speaker 2: four episodes? I mean, she just can't go to like
- 19:46Speaker 2: I mean, I guess she could go on on the
- 19:48Speaker 2: trip to try and get to Washington, but like she's
- 19:51Speaker 2: just gonna go by herself, Like.
- 19:54Speaker 1: No, Dane's gonna go with her. What you see in
- 19:57Speaker 1: the in the game, Ali and Tommy going to killing Spury.
- 20:05Speaker 2: I would like to see that. I would like to
- 20:06Speaker 2: see that. I would like to see another Joel type
- 20:09Speaker 2: of character joining up with Ellie, because that's what made
- 20:15Speaker 2: the first season so good. Was this like this father
- 20:20Speaker 2: daughter type of team up apocalyptic into the world, fighting zombies,
- 20:24Speaker 2: fighting people, killing people, killing zombies or infected, whatever you
- 20:28Speaker 2: want to call them. And that's what made that first
- 20:31Speaker 2: season so enjoyable. You know, you got to see Joel
- 20:33Speaker 2: be super badass, and we didn't get to see any
- 20:37Speaker 2: of that this this season. You know he had been
- 20:40Speaker 2: tamed down. But I'm just interested to see what they're
- 20:46Speaker 2: going to because there's going to be there has to
- 20:49Speaker 2: be an audience drop off. Now this is where you
- 20:52Speaker 2: know the Game of Thrones analogy really comes in, because
- 20:56Speaker 2: that's what people thought after the first season. Because I
- 20:59Speaker 2: would like that too. Once you watched the first season,
- 21:03Speaker 2: you're gonna be like, if all the other seasons wasn't
- 21:07Speaker 2: out already, let's just say the first season of a
- 21:10Speaker 2: Game of Thrones drops, like right now, none of the
- 21:12Speaker 2: other seasons were out, You're gonna be like, I'm not
- 21:16Speaker 2: gonna watch the show anymore. I'm done with this show.
- 21:20Speaker 2: Show's over. Okay, I'm not gonna watch it anymore after this.
- 21:24Speaker 2: But it didn't it. Game of Thrones just grew and
- 21:28Speaker 2: grew and grew and grew and got bigger and bigger
- 21:30Speaker 2: and bigger every single season. And then of course the
- 21:34Speaker 2: last season people freaking hated and they were basically boycotting
- 21:37Speaker 2: it because they rushed it right.
- 21:39Speaker 1: They rushed it well, they rushed it, and there wasn't
- 21:42Speaker 1: a book right for it yet, so they tried to
- 21:44Speaker 1: make it ending when there was no ending that was.
- 21:47Speaker 2: Well, they crammed too much into one season, dude, like
- 21:49Speaker 2: it was. It was honestly a shame. But I recently
- 21:52Speaker 2: rewatched all of it for the second time and I
- 21:56Speaker 2: grew to appreciate the last season more. But it was
- 21:58Speaker 2: definitely rushed and it was only six episodes, okay, so
- 22:02Speaker 2: they could have literally have said that, they could have
- 22:06Speaker 2: extended out that last season into like two more seasons
- 22:10Speaker 2: at least, but the actors were done with it. The
- 22:12Speaker 2: directors were done with it. They were like, we want
- 22:14Speaker 2: this over. We got to move on to other things.
- 22:17Speaker 2: And that's when David binnioffen Weiss got the contract with
- 22:20Speaker 2: Netflix and made three Body Problems. But the the thing
- 22:26Speaker 2: that that's the parallel here and what I'm not too
- 22:29Speaker 2: sure is going to go on because obviously there's people
- 22:32Speaker 2: that are upset about this, and I'm kind of upset
- 22:36Speaker 2: about it too, and I would be more upset if
- 22:40Speaker 2: the episode wasn't as good as it was. It was
- 22:44Speaker 2: just a really solid episode. It was probably one of
- 22:49Speaker 2: the best ones, at least in the top two or
- 22:51Speaker 2: top three of the last of us in in episodes,
- 22:56Speaker 2: So there's.
- 22:57Speaker 1: Gonna be The episode was full throttle, like the the
- 23:02Speaker 1: entirety of it for the most part. You did you
- 23:07Speaker 1: did uh see where uh Eugene had a hideout which
- 23:14Speaker 1: is Gil's former husband that Joel had to put down,
- 23:18Speaker 1: and he was growing weed in the hideout, which she
- 23:21Speaker 1: has shown Jess, So I mean even in UH.
- 23:25Speaker 2: But that's what that's what Joel paid her with. Do
- 23:29Speaker 2: you remember whenever he came in for the therapy session, he
- 23:31Speaker 2: handed her by a weed mm hmm.
- 23:35Speaker 1: Even in the post apocalyptic world. Folks still want to
- 23:38Speaker 1: burn it down. I got to burn one down. You
- 23:46Speaker 1: got some pills, you got some you got some drugs,
- 23:49Speaker 1: you got some liquor. I need I need to get right.
- 23:54Speaker 1: Folks are risk the risk their life going to get
- 23:56Speaker 1: some liquor and some weed to get right. It's like
- 23:59Speaker 1: Man's ship might might be in there to eat. You
- 24:02Speaker 1: said I needed to. I don't think you would understand.
- 24:07Speaker 1: So that was that was Eugenie stockpile. Jesse and Ali
- 24:10Speaker 1: came across it when they were trying to hide out
- 24:12Speaker 1: from the actual storm itself. Uh so we're gonna I'm
- 24:18Speaker 1: assuming because but they didn't say Eugenie's name, like you know,
- 24:22Speaker 1: five times. So they got to show us the Eugene deal. Okay,
- 24:27Speaker 1: that might be a whole episode.
- 24:30Speaker 2: One of these episodes are going to be a complete
- 24:32Speaker 2: flashback episode, the entire thing.
- 24:36Speaker 1: It might be the next one, it might be, but
- 24:41Speaker 1: seven episodes, I think, yeah, there's only seven episodes.
- 24:45Speaker 2: They're gonna do a whole entire flashback episode.
- 24:49Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, because Eugene seems to be a very pivotal character.
- 24:54Speaker 1: Uh that, and maybe he wouldn't as pivotal in the
- 24:58Speaker 1: actual game. Itself, but they kind of put him at
- 25:01Speaker 1: the forefront in this particular season, uh and retelling of
- 25:08Speaker 1: the story. So Joel had to kill him.
- 25:13Speaker 2: Joel had to kill him because he was infected, right,
- 25:15Speaker 2: It wasn't because he was in an argument.
- 25:17Speaker 1: I guess. I guess we don't really know, but that's
- 25:22Speaker 1: what I'm assuming. I don't know if they got in
- 25:24Speaker 1: a situation that if they were like, hey, maybe we
- 25:27Speaker 1: shouldn't go there. Maybe it was the the headstrongness of Joel,
- 25:31Speaker 1: because you know, when Tommy was talking to Ellie, she
- 25:36Speaker 1: was like, well, you and Joel would have went in there.
- 25:38Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, but that's me and Joel, you know
- 25:40Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And I think I think he's saying
- 25:43Speaker 1: it like that because, uh, they take it a little
- 25:46Speaker 1: bit more seriously. Let's just say that Ellie sometimes didn't
- 25:51Speaker 1: take those situations as serious because she knows she's I mean,
- 25:57Speaker 1: and so we've seen that in episode one where she
- 25:59Speaker 1: had uh Diana out there with her and they just
- 26:03Speaker 1: kind of like, you know, yeah, just like you know,
- 26:08Speaker 1: like this is a Jake man. This ain't a Jake man.
- 26:10Speaker 1: He's I mean, he might not be able to get infected.
- 26:14Speaker 1: But they could rip your head off. You know what
- 26:17Speaker 1: I'm saying. They can't. They could rip your head off,
- 26:20Speaker 1: So I mean, what about that?
- 26:24Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I was kind of uh looking at you.
- 26:28Speaker 2: But I mean, I guess you would be more bolden
- 26:30Speaker 2: and more brazen if you knew that that you couldn't
- 26:33Speaker 2: get infected. But I still have the theory that that
- 26:37Speaker 2: bye By the Stalker infected zombie is different than a
- 26:46Speaker 2: normal infected by. That's just my personal theory. I think
- 26:49Speaker 2: it's going to do something to her. I don't know
- 26:50Speaker 2: what it's going to do, but it's going to be something.
- 26:54Speaker 1: I think it might give her superpowers.
- 26:56Speaker 2: Man, it might be it might be like.
- 26:57Speaker 1: The control control of the Hoard, Nea the Hoard.
- 27:03Speaker 2: Neo the Hoard, like Resident Evil Molina and jo Janovic. Yeah,
- 27:09Speaker 2: she got injected with the t virus and then she
- 27:11Speaker 2: turns into a freaking super immortal character.
- 27:15Speaker 1: Super soldier. Yeh, super soldier pretty much, that's pretty much
- 27:19Speaker 1: all that stuff.
- 27:20Speaker 2: He is the super.
- 27:22Speaker 1: Dude. I can't remember. From season one, we don't know.
- 27:27Speaker 1: It was a government experience experiment. Is the reason why
- 27:30Speaker 1: this happened? Was it? I think this was a random event.
- 27:36Speaker 1: I can't wait. Is that correct? Well, we we don't
- 27:40Speaker 1: know one hundred percent, said.
- 27:42Speaker 2: I don't think they flushed it out because the first
- 27:44Speaker 2: episode was with him and his daughter and he was
- 27:48Speaker 2: like working like a construction job or whatever, and he
- 27:51Speaker 2: came home and then like shit kind of hits the
- 27:55Speaker 2: fan from there, mm hmm. I don't think they gave
- 27:59Speaker 2: it too much about story on how it started. That
- 28:03Speaker 2: might have been what the fireflyes was trying to figure
- 28:06Speaker 2: out in the beginning is how it started, But I
- 28:09Speaker 2: don't think that we have that information.
- 28:12Speaker 1: Right right one hundred percent. It's used to some type
- 28:14Speaker 1: of government tampering, and that the way it is in
- 28:16Speaker 1: all zombie stuff, they trying that, you know what they used.
- 28:20Speaker 2: Apparently in real life. Also in real life.
- 28:23Speaker 1: Yeah, he a little convey and maybe h one in
- 28:28Speaker 1: one in one in one, Berkeley.
- 28:33Speaker 2: In one in one.
- 28:35Speaker 1: Yeah, you get some of that in one in one.
- 28:37Speaker 1: You don't want that, all right, that shit to creep
- 28:40Speaker 1: up on you and take you away from here. Now,
- 28:45Speaker 1: So we're gonna, I gonnat suspect some type of foul
- 28:48Speaker 1: played by the government, because you know that's what they do.
- 28:52Speaker 1: You know, we're always trying to play god out here
- 28:56Speaker 1: as opposed to just letting things naturally live and die
- 29:00Speaker 1: and it be okay. You know, we got the what's
- 29:03Speaker 1: the guy's name is it? I think his name is
- 29:05Speaker 1: Brian Johnson. He's spending like two million dollars a year
- 29:10Speaker 1: to stay young. Like he's like, is that the.
- 29:15Speaker 2: Guy that's tsferring his blood from his Yeah, it's.
- 29:19Speaker 1: All kind of crazy ship shocking his balls and all
- 29:23Speaker 1: kind of stuff. Man out here, shock therapy on your nuts.
- 29:27Speaker 1: I'm like, it's going a little bit too far, isn't it.
- 29:30Speaker 1: I mean, when when can we shut this thing down?
- 29:33Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. It's like it does hurt.
- 29:36Speaker 1: I'm like, well, yeah, you're shocking your nuts. Man. It's like,
- 29:40Speaker 1: well it keep it, keeps it youthful down there. I
- 29:43Speaker 1: thought using it kept it youthful, you know what I'm saying.
- 29:47Speaker 1: That's what I thought, like using the thing, you know,
- 29:51Speaker 1: working out maybe a decent diet, good blow blood flow.
- 29:55Speaker 1: I thought it was. But you know, little I have
- 30:01Speaker 1: a little government intervention. Uh now, writer on this one.
- 30:06Speaker 1: What was different from the game. Uh, the Horde never
- 30:09Speaker 1: attacked Jackson in the game, if I'm correct from what
- 30:11Speaker 1: they're telling me. So this is one of the things
- 30:15Speaker 1: that they switched up completely. And I actually I think
- 30:19Speaker 1: that's uh. The duke out that we had there was
- 30:25Speaker 1: an incredible scene. It was I mean like it was,
- 30:30Speaker 1: it was well done.
- 30:32Speaker 2: It was really washing. It reminded me of like freaking
- 30:34Speaker 2: Lord of the Rings in the Two Towers mixed with
- 30:37Speaker 2: like Game of Throw freaking zombies. Dude, this is fucking bad.
- 30:43Speaker 2: Fuck Like I was literally like getting you know how,
- 30:46Speaker 2: like when you're watching something sometimes like you get kind
- 30:49Speaker 2: of like emotional, just like you feel it, you know
- 30:51Speaker 2: what I mean, if you were in that situation, you're like, oh,
- 30:55Speaker 2: that's how I was feeling while I was watching it.
- 30:56Speaker 2: And I know when something is good when it makes.
- 30:59Speaker 1: Me feel like you know, yeah. And this is a
- 31:03Speaker 1: complete rush because these are not godly. These are the
- 31:08Speaker 1: worst type of zombies. These are the full stain ahead sprinting,
- 31:14Speaker 1: I'm getting up in your face zombies, you know, kind
- 31:17Speaker 1: of like the rage virus from twenty eight days later.
- 31:19Speaker 1: This is the worst kind of zombies. You know what
- 31:21Speaker 1: I'm saying. I mean, this is all you like, damn
- 31:24Speaker 1: Cuz you know what I'm saying. Because they got more
- 31:26Speaker 1: wing than what you got you go run out of wind.
- 31:29Speaker 1: They ain't, you know what I'm saying.
- 31:31Speaker 2: Yeah, they feel like they can go on for days.
- 31:33Speaker 2: But I really like they were really prepared and that's
- 31:36Speaker 2: something that I really liked about it.
- 31:37Speaker 1: Again, extremely they knew what they were doing. Bro.
- 31:41Speaker 2: They threw the barrels down outside of the thing that
- 31:44Speaker 2: they were shooting, mow down all the zombies. While they
- 31:46Speaker 2: were shooting and mowing down the zombies was also hitting
- 31:49Speaker 2: the barrels. It was spreading the gasoline. Once they had
- 31:52Speaker 2: taken you know, spread enough ammo to hit the barrels
- 31:54Speaker 2: and the zombies at the same time, then they threw
- 31:56Speaker 2: the torches down and let everything on fire. I'm like,
- 31:59Speaker 2: that's freaking.
- 32:01Speaker 1: Also, also, you had to you had to plan out
- 32:03Speaker 1: the trajectory of those barrels so there would be far
- 32:06Speaker 1: enough away from your wall to not blow it up.
- 32:10Speaker 1: Like they had this thing to a t like this
- 32:13Speaker 1: ain't something that they that you know, they ain't run
- 32:16Speaker 1: a drill one time and said all right, cool, we
- 32:18Speaker 1: get they've ran this drill multiple times. You know what
- 32:21Speaker 1: I'm saying, It's like, okay, if we make if we
- 32:24Speaker 1: make the plank this far and we roll it out.
- 32:26Speaker 1: How far does that run away? Okay, let's go out
- 32:28Speaker 1: here and let's try an explosion. Okay, this is how
- 32:30Speaker 1: far the explosion needs to be away from from our
- 32:33Speaker 1: actual wall so it don't blow it up and damage it.
- 32:35Speaker 1: I was like, dude, because whenever I seen it, I
- 32:38Speaker 1: was like, Okay, they're gonna blow those up. But is
- 32:40Speaker 1: it is it too close to the to the walls
- 32:42Speaker 1: where to catch it on fire? I'll be damn it wouldn't.
- 32:46Speaker 1: I was like, oh okay, and everything was was seemingly okay.
- 32:52Speaker 1: They had to uncontrolled until a big boy came up
- 32:55Speaker 1: the blow it or dude, yeah, pretty cool. Fat Fat
- 33:03Speaker 1: Fat Ninja when he seen when he seen Old Fat Ninja,
- 33:06Speaker 1: he was like, they're gonna bust through. Tommy's like, hey,
- 33:12Speaker 1: they're gonna bust through, man, And at that point in time,
- 33:15Speaker 1: I was like, damn, everybody's everybody's on the on the wall.
- 33:18Speaker 1: When they bust through. What they're gonna do? No, they
- 33:20Speaker 1: had people in position on top of the buildings. I
- 33:23Speaker 1: was like wow because I just seen the three of
- 33:26Speaker 1: them with flame throwers, had the flame throwers ready, and
- 33:29Speaker 1: I was like, damn, Bud, they're gonna be in a
- 33:31Speaker 1: world of trouble now. I look up there and everybody
- 33:33Speaker 1: got any guns up there. I was like, where y'all
- 33:36Speaker 1: find all his? Am? Now you am about gone. Now
- 33:40Speaker 1: y'all gonna have to pill it for someone. I don't
- 33:42Speaker 1: know if y'all make it there they're at Jackson or not,
- 33:45Speaker 1: but somebody gonna have to work overtime because y'all used
- 33:47Speaker 1: up a bunch of bullets. I mean a whole bunch.
- 33:51Speaker 2: And they were just firing into that bloater and he
- 33:53Speaker 2: wasn't budgeting it. Did you see those other two guys
- 33:55Speaker 2: with flame throwers? Whenever Joel's brother was standing in the
- 33:58Speaker 2: in the middle on the floaters, coming at him, and
- 34:01Speaker 2: the two just turned around and ran away.
- 34:07Speaker 1: I was like, we all going? They rand? I was
- 34:14Speaker 1: like what? I was like, where are they going? And
- 34:17Speaker 1: that's what Tommy was like too. He's like, you sorry, motherfuckers?
- 34:24Speaker 1: This an now's the time to make our stand. Yeah, bro,
- 34:27Speaker 1: what are you doing?
- 34:28Speaker 2: This is the fucking they're they're here, they're attacking, They're
- 34:31Speaker 2: they're breaching the gate, bro, Like, you gotta protect the
- 34:34Speaker 2: fucking town. Do whatever it fucking takes, dude, You can't
- 34:38Speaker 2: you got a damn flame thrower? Dude, what are you
- 34:41Speaker 2: scared of? Bro?
- 34:44Speaker 1: He said he won't sure they won't share about the
- 34:46Speaker 1: flame thrower. Let's just say that. It's like, man, I
- 34:49Speaker 1: know I got this thing, but my god, dude, they
- 34:52Speaker 1: seen the Big Boy. When they seen Big Boy. They
- 34:54Speaker 1: were like, I've seen big Boy. The last time we
- 34:59Speaker 1: seen Big Boy, he damn uh busted Kathleen in the
- 35:03Speaker 1: in the multiple pieces.
- 35:04Speaker 2: Think you're rid of that woman.
- 35:10Speaker 1: Last time we seen Big Boy. So the bloaters ain't
- 35:14Speaker 1: no joke man, and uh, Tommy ended up getting it,
- 35:17Speaker 1: but I didn't think he was gonna get it, but
- 35:19Speaker 1: he ended up he had to use all the gas.
- 35:21Speaker 1: He had to use all the gas he had to
- 35:23Speaker 1: burn her down. I was like, Tommy, I think you.
- 35:26Speaker 1: I think you're gonna draw nigh because I want you.
- 35:28Speaker 1: If they're gonna kill Tommy, I said, damn, Tommy gonna
- 35:31Speaker 1: die t because they want nobody in the vicinity. I
- 35:34Speaker 1: was like. And then as he's sitting there and because
- 35:38Speaker 1: I was like, man, okay, so the blotter as strong,
- 35:41Speaker 1: but I'm wondering if it's quick. You know what I'm saying.
- 35:43Speaker 1: If it's got the catlight quick, it's can I can
- 35:45Speaker 1: I duck and roll away from it? But uh, I
- 35:48Speaker 1: guess obviously that that one in the cars, he was
- 35:50Speaker 1: just about to sit there and he said, I'm about
- 35:52Speaker 1: to take this beat.
- 35:56Speaker 2: Enough you that moment thought that he was going to
- 36:01Speaker 2: die easily in there, and he was like, this is it.
- 36:06Speaker 2: It's done, which is also sort of like what Joel
- 36:10Speaker 2: was doing as well. He knew that he was going
- 36:13Speaker 2: to die, you know, he knew that there was no
- 36:15Speaker 2: way around that. That's why he didn't explain himself at all,
- 36:19Speaker 2: because he could have just as easily explained to Abby
- 36:21Speaker 2: like because Abby thinks he was just he was just
- 36:25Speaker 2: this rogue criminal that went in there and killed all
- 36:27Speaker 2: of these people for absolutely no reason. She doesn't understand
- 36:30Speaker 2: the contacts. If he probably could have just explained it
- 36:34Speaker 2: to her, he probably could have lived. But I guarantee
- 36:39Speaker 2: in his mind and in the writer's mind, they're like, oh, well,
- 36:45Speaker 2: Joel already thinks that Ellie like hates him and doesn't
- 36:49Speaker 2: want anything to do with him anymore, right, so so
- 36:53Speaker 2: he's like, there's no point in me in explaining all
- 36:55Speaker 2: this to me. I've already if I'm going to die.
- 36:58Speaker 2: Then I'm going to die. And that's like the point
- 37:01Speaker 2: that he was like making to her. He was like,
- 37:04Speaker 2: can you just shut the hell up and do it already,
- 37:06Speaker 2: or my damn Joel. I mean, he knew that he
- 37:10Speaker 2: that he was cut.
- 37:14Speaker 1: But if he would have just explained it.
- 37:18Speaker 2: But then there's another thing too as the reason that
- 37:21Speaker 2: he might not have explained it to them as well,
- 37:25Speaker 2: because if he would have explained the entire situation, like
- 37:30Speaker 2: they were going to kill her to try and find
- 37:32Speaker 2: a cure for the infected, then they would have grabbed her.
- 37:37Speaker 2: If they would have known who she was, they would
- 37:39Speaker 2: have grabbed her and took her to Washington. But what
- 37:42Speaker 2: I was thinking that maybe that they could have done
- 37:46Speaker 2: instead of killing Joel was to capture Ellie. Like Ellie
- 37:53Speaker 2: comes in, takes a few of them out, or makes
- 37:55Speaker 2: a big ruckus some of the infect that coming into
- 38:00Speaker 2: to follow them, or whatever, and then they capture Ali
- 38:03Speaker 2: and take Eli to Washington. But Joel survives. Joel has
- 38:07Speaker 2: to heal up, get a few people together, travel to
- 38:10Speaker 2: Washington to rescue Allie, and then he dies in Washington.
- 38:15Speaker 2: That's what I was kind of hoping that they were
- 38:17Speaker 2: going to go for.
- 38:18Speaker 1: Or that they were going to do like a complete retailing,
- 38:20Speaker 1: like a like a complete to go away from the
- 38:24Speaker 1: video game, like totally.
- 38:27Speaker 2: I mean it could have been good like that. I
- 38:29Speaker 2: think that it would have been good.
- 38:32Speaker 1: Yeah, because from the from the video game, uh, he
- 38:35Speaker 1: does save Abby in the similar nature like you get
- 38:38Speaker 1: that exact same scene where Abby's pinned up against the
- 38:41Speaker 1: uh the side of the fence in the and that
- 38:44Speaker 1: uh and that born she was at and.
- 38:48Speaker 2: Which was an incredible scene by the way, that was
- 38:50Speaker 2: freaking incredible, like hers.
- 38:52Speaker 1: And that's all that's all practical effects. That's the people
- 38:57Speaker 1: like on that fence, the people that was people. Yeah,
- 39:02Speaker 1: that they put makeup on, Like you're gonna talk about
- 39:05Speaker 1: like having your ship together, HB. HBO's got this ship together. Man.
- 39:11Speaker 1: When they make a show like like, dude, like there's
- 39:17Speaker 1: been some shows that came out on some other networks
- 39:19Speaker 1: that's been damn good, but HBO kind of takes the
- 39:25Speaker 1: cake as far as with with their well well you
- 39:30Speaker 1: could say quote unquote original content and how they approach it, dude,
- 39:35Speaker 1: like like it's on point. I mean you I just
- 39:40Speaker 1: just everything everything, you just go through all of them.
- 39:44Speaker 1: You just like, dude, I mean, this is the pinnacle,
- 39:47Speaker 1: you know, And so that that scene is like you
- 39:51Speaker 1: feel that scene where Abby's trapped against the fence and
- 39:55Speaker 1: the and the horse just like knocking this fence over
- 39:58Speaker 1: and like right up in her ass. You know what
- 40:00Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like you feel the same, You're like, damn,
- 40:04Speaker 1: because I want sure. I was like, I was like,
- 40:08Speaker 1: won't won't Anny be supposed to kill Joel? I said
- 40:10Speaker 1: she got to get eight from the looks of it,
- 40:15Speaker 1: That's what I was thinking. I was like, man, she
- 40:16Speaker 1: got to get eight right now. And I was like, okay,
- 40:19Speaker 1: Joel saved her. And I was like, dang. And then
- 40:22Speaker 1: her eyes kind of lit up when it's like Joel,
- 40:24Speaker 1: it's like he said, he ain't no way that that
- 40:27Speaker 1: I got laid right too. I laying it right in
- 40:30Speaker 1: my lap, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, that was God.
- 40:36Speaker 2: Yeah, that was the whole thing. And I think that
- 40:38Speaker 2: they were also shocked when they got back to the
- 40:40Speaker 2: freaking cabin or whatever too. And then she was like,
- 40:42Speaker 2: oh and this is Joel. They're like, what what do
- 40:47Speaker 2: you mean? How get him up here?
- 40:51Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 40:52Speaker 2: Yeah, So I mean if a few people would have
- 40:55Speaker 2: just made a few different decisions in the entire episode. Dude,
- 40:57Speaker 2: things could have turned out completely different. Right If Ibby
- 41:02Speaker 2: wouldn't have decided to go down the freaking frozen hell
- 41:06Speaker 2: try to scow down the hell, that wouldn't have happened because.
- 41:10Speaker 1: Joel, Because Joel and Dina would have been heading back
- 41:13Speaker 1: to UH to Jackson to help out, because that's where
- 41:16Speaker 1: Joel's kind of focus was. Like he's like, he's seeing
- 41:20Speaker 1: the fire and stuff, and he's like, so he wasn't
- 41:23Speaker 1: even thinking about the person he had saved, and oh, yeah,
- 41:26Speaker 1: we got some friends up here in the cabin. Not
- 41:28Speaker 1: like it wasn't going through his mind, Like, hold on
- 41:30Speaker 1: a second, the fuck you're doing with friends up here
- 41:32Speaker 1: in the cabin? Yeah, you know what I'm saying. It
- 41:36Speaker 1: wasn't even going through his head. He's like, man, Jackson's burning,
- 41:39Speaker 1: What the fuck? You know what I'm saying. So, of
- 41:43Speaker 1: course you got you got to have that that particular
- 41:46Speaker 1: UH plot point to keep stuff going, as far as
- 41:51Speaker 1: getting Joel to that location where he met his demise. Okay,
- 41:56Speaker 1: and they did the whole they didn't show the whole
- 41:59Speaker 1: ul with the actual golf club. Yeah, it was. It
- 42:10Speaker 1: was kind of foreshadowed because the golf club was broken,
- 42:13Speaker 1: and that's what she eventually shoves into his neck to
- 42:16Speaker 1: kill him, to finish him off the broken end of
- 42:19Speaker 1: the golf club. So yeah, that's it for Joe. Okay,
- 42:26Speaker 1: Ellie walks in at that point in time, she scuffles,
- 42:30Speaker 1: but you know it's no use because Joel's gone and
- 42:37Speaker 1: they drag his body.
- 42:38Speaker 2: Back to Joe Horn.
- 42:42Speaker 1: So yeah, so this is a The third episode is
- 42:48Speaker 1: gonna be kind of a I think it's gonna be
- 42:51Speaker 1: a kind of a crying fast for the first probably
- 42:53Speaker 1: at least ten to fifteen minutes if we If we
- 42:57Speaker 1: stick with them and not go to a straight flashback, this.
- 43:02Speaker 2: One might be present day mixed with a bunch of flashbacks,
- 43:07Speaker 2: or it might just be one giant flashback. I wouldn't
- 43:10Speaker 2: put it past them to do one giant flashback. But
- 43:12Speaker 2: if we're following around the trend of the first season,
- 43:16Speaker 2: I think that it was the fifth episode was a
- 43:19Speaker 2: gay episode, and that was an entire giant flashbacks.
- 43:25Speaker 1: Now it was early. It was like the sakend of
- 43:28Speaker 1: thirty episode. Was it? Oh my god, dude, yeah, it was.
- 43:34Speaker 1: There was the butt brothers. Man, they were out there
- 43:38Speaker 1: and they're showing a little brotherly love, you know, that's
- 43:41Speaker 1: what they were doing.
- 43:44Speaker 2: Well, this one might be a giant flashback, Dude. I
- 43:46Speaker 2: don't know, bro, it might be, but I'm interested to
- 43:49Speaker 2: see where it's going to go, and I'm not gonna
- 43:50Speaker 2: stop watching it. Like, but this is the whole thing,
- 43:53Speaker 2: right that I was mentioning earlier as the reason why
- 43:56Speaker 2: they had to do it now. They couldn't do at
- 44:00Speaker 2: the end of the first season, okay, because if they
- 44:03Speaker 2: did it at the end of the first season, nobody
- 44:07Speaker 2: is going to watch the second season, right right, No
- 44:12Speaker 2: one's going to watch it. It's going to fall off
- 44:14Speaker 2: like a ton of fucking bricks, bro, Like you're dropping
- 44:17Speaker 2: a giant bowling ball from a fucking airplane. It's going
- 44:20Speaker 2: to drop off because not only you have to wait
- 44:22Speaker 2: two years, people already don't want to watch it because
- 44:26Speaker 2: Joel's dead. And that's the main reason why they're watching
- 44:29Speaker 2: the entire show is because of Joel. Okay, they couldn't
- 44:33Speaker 2: do it at the end of the season because no
- 44:37Speaker 2: one would watch the third season, Okay, because they're splitting
- 44:42Speaker 2: the second game into two seasons, so the second game
- 44:46Speaker 2: is going to be the second season and the third season, okay,
- 44:51Speaker 2: So they had to do it in the beginning of
- 44:53Speaker 2: this season in order to try and recoup some of
- 44:58Speaker 2: the people that is going to be pissed off about
- 45:01Speaker 2: it because they're already invested. The show is already out,
- 45:04Speaker 2: the season has already started, where in the second episode,
- 45:08Speaker 2: the chances are they're not going to stop watching it.
- 45:12Speaker 2: They're going to continue to watch it through the rest
- 45:14Speaker 2: of the season at least, right, but that is dependent
- 45:20Speaker 2: upon how good the rest of the season is. So
- 45:25Speaker 2: if the rest of the season is really freaking good,
- 45:28Speaker 2: and it's duller because I believe that it doesn't matter
- 45:33Speaker 2: what happens within the show as long as the show
- 45:36Speaker 2: is good. Like you can essentially do whatever you want
- 45:40Speaker 2: in any movie or any show, it just has to
- 45:42Speaker 2: be good. And if it's good, then people are going
- 45:46Speaker 2: to stick around. So the way that the rest of
- 45:48Speaker 2: the season pans out is going to determine how this
- 45:56Speaker 2: show is going to stick in the legacy of like
- 45:59Speaker 2: television and if people are going to return in another
- 46:03Speaker 2: fucking two years to watch the third season all three yep.
- 46:12Speaker 2: So they had to do it here. This was the
- 46:13Speaker 2: most logical place, and I think that I caught a
- 46:16Speaker 2: lot of people off guard. I think it even caught
- 46:18Speaker 2: people off guard that even like played the games, because
- 46:20Speaker 2: I think that people that even played the games were like,
- 46:22Speaker 2: there's no way that they're going to do it so
- 46:25Speaker 2: soon and like so quick they want to because Joel
- 46:28Speaker 2: is the star of the freaking show, Like you're gonna
- 46:31Speaker 2: off him at the in the beginning. So I think
- 46:34Speaker 2: a lot of people were shocked by it. And I
- 46:36Speaker 2: was even shocked by it, and I was like, I was
- 46:38Speaker 2: telling my girlfriend as we were watching it, I was like,
- 46:42Speaker 2: there's no way they're gonna kill Joel this soon. I
- 46:44Speaker 2: was pretty confident too. I was like, there's no way
- 46:46Speaker 2: they're gonna off him this soon.
- 46:47Speaker 1: And then I didn't Yeah yeah, And when she shot
- 46:54Speaker 1: him in the knee, I was like, yeah, this is it.
- 46:58Speaker 1: I was like, oh, okay, yeah, this is this is
- 47:02Speaker 1: this would be the scene right here. I'm like, all right, so, uh,
- 47:11Speaker 1: we're doing this today. Huh. So we're doing this today.
- 47:17Speaker 1: Jackson is gonna have a lot of it's gonna be
- 47:22Speaker 1: some issues in Jackson for a little while. There's gonna
- 47:25Speaker 1: be some people shook up about this, because I don't
- 47:28Speaker 1: know if you've seen this, but we've seen one person
- 47:35Speaker 1: that like showed the person the bite mark and gave
- 47:37Speaker 1: him the gun and he shot him in the head. Uh.
- 47:40Speaker 1: So there's probably a lot of people that had to
- 47:42Speaker 1: get put down by people that they knew in the city.
- 47:47Speaker 1: So this is like this, this is gonna be a
- 47:50Speaker 1: it's gonna be a rough moment for Jackson, and it's
- 47:52Speaker 1: gonna be interesting to see how the actual town recovered
- 47:55Speaker 1: from uh this catastrophic event, not only losing must with
- 48:00Speaker 1: people in the city having part of the their border
- 48:04Speaker 1: wall destroyed, having to use all that ammunition and gas,
- 48:08Speaker 1: but also losing uh somebody who was so pivotal to
- 48:12Speaker 1: the city and uh building a building of structures uh
- 48:16Speaker 1: in Joel as well, and of course the leadership with Tommy,
- 48:21Speaker 1: his his focus is going to be uh now kind
- 48:24Speaker 1: of taking away from the city. So it's gonna be
- 48:27Speaker 1: interesting to see how they how they say that the
- 48:30Speaker 1: city is kind of dealing with the death and the
- 48:33Speaker 1: most recent events of what just happened to everybody there. Uh,
- 48:39Speaker 1: that could be that could be something they could key on.
- 48:41Speaker 1: But it's only seven episodes, so I don't know if
- 48:43Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna be, but if it was like
- 48:47Speaker 1: twelve episodes, then they would have some time, which is what.
- 48:51Speaker 2: I wish that it was. I wish it was at
- 48:53Speaker 2: least ten episodes, bro, like just stop of the ship
- 48:56Speaker 2: with like such short seasons, bro, which we talked about
- 49:01Speaker 2: last week too. But it's just like, come on, bro,
- 49:04Speaker 2: people are waiting a long time for this stuff, Like
- 49:07Speaker 2: at least give them like the proper amount of episodes
- 49:11Speaker 2: for a season, dude, they come on.
- 49:15Speaker 1: You should get you should get three months. You should
- 49:18Speaker 1: get at least three three to four months of episodes, yeah.
- 49:22Speaker 2: Or at least two, like yeah, at least three months,
- 49:24Speaker 2: three months, that's the standard, is like at least like
- 49:28Speaker 2: close to three months.
- 49:31Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. So sometimes you feel like they can flesh
- 49:35Speaker 1: out more of this stuff if they slowed down just
- 49:37Speaker 1: a little bit. But you know, with with the way
- 49:41Speaker 1: streaming services is, people got so many contracts they're trying
- 49:44Speaker 1: to fulfill, you know, when schedules and all that, and
- 49:46Speaker 1: then they have to be all over the place. So
- 49:47Speaker 1: I think that's that's hindered a whole lot of this
- 49:50Speaker 1: stuff where people have been able to go and do
- 49:55Speaker 1: these particular shows and do them well and do them
- 49:58Speaker 1: for multiple seasons. Uh, just because they got so many obligations. Now,
- 50:03Speaker 1: so what's the.
- 50:05Speaker 2: Uh could they just could they put more gay shit
- 50:08Speaker 2: in there and then just expand the episodes for l
- 50:11Speaker 2: g b t Q awareness or something like can they
- 50:14Speaker 2: get more money for that? Like just make the episodes,
- 50:17Speaker 2: make more episodes, put more gay stuff in it. Like
- 50:21Speaker 2: come on, I'd be okay with that. I'd be okay
- 50:24Speaker 2: with that.
- 50:26Speaker 1: You think, okay, okay, so you say you say you
- 50:29Speaker 1: feel that, Yeah.
- 50:30Speaker 2: Man, just put a bunch of gay shit in there.
- 50:32Speaker 2: Everyone loves gay ship. So if we have more gay ship,
- 50:35Speaker 2: we that should you know, flush out the episodes and
- 50:39Speaker 2: make the episodes longer and in more episodes, right.
- 50:43Speaker 1: Mm hmm, yeah, I know. One thing? What was it? Uh?
- 50:48Speaker 1: Ive seen today when they were talking about the pipe
- 50:52Speaker 1: the pipe DNE It was like a it was like, Uh,
- 50:57Speaker 1: We're gonna see what the algbt Q plus community thinks
- 51:01Speaker 1: of it. I'm like, of the is that who y'all
- 51:07Speaker 1: want to really ask? I say something sings weird about that.
- 51:13Speaker 1: I'm just saying something seemed really weird.
- 51:19Speaker 2: Let's greta Thumburg, what she thinks of the pope ion too.
- 51:23Speaker 2: We need to get her.
- 51:24Speaker 1: This is exactly who we need to know. That's who
- 51:26Speaker 1: we need to hear from.
- 51:27Speaker 2: They should have got Greta Thumburg to play Ali. That
- 51:30Speaker 2: would have been a perfect match.
- 51:31Speaker 1: I think, uh, she'd have got it there and said,
- 51:37Speaker 1: how dare you know? I'm saying that's what she would
- 51:41Speaker 1: have done.
- 51:42Speaker 2: Doesn't she look? She looks similar to doesn't she? They
- 51:48Speaker 2: look they look pretty similar.
- 51:51Speaker 1: A little bit, a little bit. So that's uh, this
- 51:55Speaker 1: episode two of the Last of us. Uh, let us
- 51:58Speaker 1: know your thoughts on it and the comment session below.
- 52:02Speaker 1: Did you enjoy it? And let us know what direction
- 52:04Speaker 1: you think is gonna take from here. Things are gonna
- 52:09Speaker 1: things are gonna have to heat up. You know, it's
- 52:11Speaker 1: gonna be a revenge tour for Ellie that's on the way.
- 52:17Speaker 1: So we'll see how they unfold that and how they
- 52:22Speaker 1: get her to Seattle, which is where the fireflies are at. Uh. So, writer,
- 52:31Speaker 1: you got anything for the people out there that you're
- 52:33Speaker 1: working on.
- 52:35Speaker 2: Look at this image and tell me that perfect.
- 52:45Speaker 1: Dear God Almighty got a podcast people, writers got Gretta
- 52:51Speaker 1: up here on the on the screen, and she's giving
- 52:54Speaker 1: you the how dare you look? She's part she's partly autistic. Okay,
- 53:02Speaker 1: so we probably shouldn't be laughing at her that much.
- 53:05Speaker 1: I didn't say that we shouldn't be laughing at her.
- 53:06Speaker 1: I'd say just that much. So wherever she's had on
- 53:10Speaker 1: the spectrum, we need to bring our laughter down to
- 53:13Speaker 1: like at least that level.
- 53:14Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we're not making fun of her. We're just
- 53:16Speaker 2: saying that that she I think that they. I mean,
- 53:21Speaker 2: come on, I wish I could do like a side
- 53:22Speaker 2: by side here, but I'll just bring up the other
- 53:26Speaker 2: photo of the actor that plays Ali from the Last
- 53:30Speaker 2: of Us here right next to it, well not next
- 53:33Speaker 2: to it, but in the on the screen as well,
- 53:37Speaker 2: so you can get a good comparison. They look very similarity.
- 53:45Speaker 1: Yeah they did, don't they? They look very shinking. It
- 53:51Speaker 1: may be because she's on the spectrum as well.
- 53:55Speaker 2: So I think that's what we need to do. I
- 53:58Speaker 2: think we need to cancel this actor that's playing Ali
- 54:01Speaker 2: and The Last of Us and replace her with Credit Thunberg.
- 54:08Speaker 1: Yeah, let's not do they.
- 54:10Speaker 2: Let's get a petition.
- 54:13Speaker 1: Yeah. I can't say that Greta has any type of
- 54:15Speaker 1: actual was it uh acting chops. Let's just say that. Yeah,
- 54:23Speaker 1: I don't know she has any acting chops, So I
- 54:27Speaker 1: don't know as far as that. Yeah, I won't go
- 54:30Speaker 1: as far as they start a petition.
- 54:34Speaker 2: We need to make a petition. When you don't have
- 54:36Speaker 2: everyone sign it, send it into Warner Brothers. And because
- 54:40Speaker 2: Warner Brothers owns HBO, so send it in to Warner Brothers.
- 54:43Speaker 2: Get get them to cancel, cancel this lady to scroll
- 54:49Speaker 2: the place Ali replace her, Greta Thunberg. No one would
- 54:53Speaker 2: know the difference, just the same.
- 54:58Speaker 1: It's it's just the same thing. Is that we get
- 55:00Speaker 1: we get in similar results, you know what I'm saying.
- 55:05Speaker 1: All Right, guys, so let us know your thoughts on
- 55:06Speaker 1: this rider. You got anything that you that you're working on,
- 55:09Speaker 1: you will let people know about.
