2:04
Yes, I was getting ready to shake an employee.
2:07
I like, what, where is he? I need a picture.
2:10
That'll get you thrown in Disney gel.
2:12
Spencer. I mean, everyone has experienced
2:15
Disney jail once in their life. I think you, you don't know.
2:19
So it's probably nice when you think about it.
2:22
Oh my gosh, did you see the proposal that Disney employee
2:26
totally ruined? I saw that.
2:28
That was very cringe. It's like that is tragic.
2:33
I don't read into it. I just didn't want to know I'm
2:36
like this is just gonna ruin my afternoon.
2:38
So I'm just going to skip over this video.
2:40
I mean it sounds like Disney like apologize to them.
2:45
Yeah. No I thought like okay cool.
2:49
On with our day I was just shocked.
2:51
I was like oh yeah. Does he really kicked my ass
2:55
though? I am sitting on a couch right
2:57
now. I basically am I can't move.
3:01
I'm very sore. My feet hurt.
3:05
Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!
3:06
We should go to Disney the two of us because we both know of
3:10
Isha is not gonna come with us and we'll go over to and from
3:18
will get there right when it opens.
3:20
And let's just leave right when I close it.
3:22
Yeah. Wait, why do we have to go over?
3:24
Are we planning on having a couple drinks?
3:26
Yeah, whatever that that That pin.
3:31
Tim drink looks good. Yeah.
3:33
The Ant-Man a little restaurant. They have their drinks are out
3:36
of this world is so good pricey. You know, it's like $17 a drink
3:41
but like Disney in California. That's what you pay for so good.
3:48
I'm becoming a Disney adult. It's really sad.
3:50
I mean, all I can think about now is going to Disneyland.
3:53
I know but like there are worse things right, we could be sports
3:58
fans. Sorry, Daniel, cut that out.
4:04
I'm sorry if you like sports. I'm very happy for you.
4:09
I'm just having a quarter life crisis and it's, it can be
4:13
worse. I can buy like a stupid car or
4:15
something or I could become a pirate.
4:18
I know because Spencer what did we watch this week this week?
4:24
Elizabeth got me to finish our flag, beans death and I'm so
4:28
glad she did. Yes, I'm so excited to talk
4:33
about this. Spencer, would you like a
4:36
summary? I thought the summary was
4:38
hilarious. It just came from IMDb but I
4:41
thought was so full of humor that I was like, I'm going to
4:43
keep it the year is 1717 wealthy landowner.
4:49
Stede Bonnet has a midlife crisis and decides to blow up
4:52
his cushy life to become a pirate.
4:55
It does not go well, and that is the first That's literally it.
5:04
So let's go behind the Wardrobe. We have series Creator, David
5:08
Jenkins and costume designer, Christine whadda, ya favorite
5:16
girl, you'll know her from Bridesmaids pixels.
5:22
Zombieland double tap and Loki Loki.
5:26
We loved her costumes on Loki, that was yeah.
5:29
Way back in season one when we talked about that show and that
5:32
was one of my favorite episodes. So that is one of my favorite
5:35
episodes to because we just had so many good like interviews,
5:41
she like really talked about it, unlike this show.
5:46
So there are zero behind the Wardrobe facts.
5:53
I don't know. I love to interview her about
5:57
this series, but we're just going to talk about each of Each
6:00
episode. What do you think?
6:01
Spencer, I think one. This is a call out to Christine
6:05
whadda. We want to bring you on the
6:07
podcast and talk about this low-key.
6:09
Everything were obsessed with you and to I'm ready to jump
6:12
into this. I freaking love Pirates.
6:15
I love Taiko TV. This is everything.
6:18
Yes, it's pride month. Yeah.
6:22
That was like the last thing I like I did not expect that from
6:27
this series, then I was just like, Steven Blackbeard who I
6:32
love it. I love it, very upset by the end
6:35
of this. Yes, let's take a break and get

7:49
Cancer. Are you ready to talk Pirates?
7:52
I'm always ready to talk Pirates.
7:54
You know, I have talked about this before but I used to always
7:57
want to be a pirate and honestly, I still do this show.
7:59
Didn't help. Yeah.
8:01
I'm like this is the kind of pirate I would want to be.
8:04
I would want to be part of Stede Bonnet, screw everybody.
8:08
We're talking about episode 1, the It an aristocrat turned
8:13
pirate. Steed is put to the test when
8:16
his crew it threatens to Mutiny and they encounter his old
8:21
schoolmate, it's such a good first episode.
8:27
I was dying when they were doing like the arts and crafts little
8:31
flag crafting session so funny my gosh it's so amazing and it's
8:36
like steeds wardrobe though you're like Leslie.
8:41
This man is not like a professional pirate.
8:45
It's like so 18th century early 1700s like to a tee and just the
8:53
most like, obnoxious color their right to me.
8:58
It's like, you know, because Steed reads a lot, you know,
9:02
like he, he's always had this like idea what pirating is like,
9:05
and this is probably how he imagined their costumes to be
9:08
like very freely. Hmm.
9:11
Very extravagant and of course, that's not the case.
9:14
So this is like his impression of what a pirate would look like
9:18
and it doesn't match well, absolutely like this first teal
9:23
number he has on, I'm like Steed, you're gorgeous.
9:27
However, it's a beautiful costume, it's beautiful.
9:32
And raised our be. He knows how to use the costume
9:37
in this series. Like it is really funny.
9:41
It's all about like the hand movements with those big ol like
9:44
frilly cuffs. He just really wears it so well
9:48
he does he does his crew though. Hilarious.
9:53
Oh my gosh, Toca a, they all look so filthy compared to him.
9:57
Right? All look so filthy but they're
10:00
also like such recognizable. Like a pirate costumes, though,
10:04
you know, like it. Yeah, I knew exactly what kind
10:07
of crew this was or like, not that.
10:11
Serious of pirates. They're like okay Pirates.
10:13
They're just kind of like they remind me a little bit of Peter
10:17
Pan. Type Pirates.
10:18
A little bit. Yes absolutely.
10:22
Yeah. Very traditional very just like
10:26
run-of-the-mill Pirates. I do feel like Christy and she
10:30
has like like giving it that this whole series has a like
10:36
rock and roll vibe to it. Yeah, which he definitely.
10:41
Infused into their wardrobe to a lot of them have like the cutoff
10:44
sleeves. Yeah.
10:46
Or like necked. Like, very loose neckties and
10:50
like little Frills which I love that she did and to that point
10:54
especially when we get to Blackbeard's crew, like they're
10:56
very rock and roll. I mean very Rock and restaurants
11:00
like goth Pirates, but there's so many like fun characters.
11:04
First of all, this was like a Game of Thrones reunions, right?
11:07
We have Weeds on, who is played by One of our favorites Hodor.
11:13
A Christian, they earn such a cool guy and then Joel Fry who
11:19
plays a Frenchie who is also from Game of Thrones.
11:23
Yes, yes, I saw him and I was like, what are you doing here?
11:29
It was nice actually, because I've had such a like we we hated
11:33
his character in Game of Thrones.
11:34
Yeah, we did. I still see him in a role that I
11:37
didn't absolutely hate, you know, he's also in, he's in
11:40
cruel. To right.
11:43
Right. Right.
11:43
Forgot that? Yeah?
11:46
Uh-huh. Wow, I love his performance.
11:49
It's made no impression there. I guess, you know, my favorite
11:52
character was the dog. That's true.
11:55
Well, okay. Do you want to know who I
11:57
thought your favorite character would be?
11:59
Who the bird? I love this bird.
12:04
The bird. When the bird was speaking to,
12:07
oh gosh, I we know that character's name when that
12:10
character was speaking. My birth buttons.
12:12
Yeah, those so funny funds was one of my favorite crew members.
12:19
Do you want to know who my favorite crew?
12:21
Member was though? I do.
12:23
Who like, you don't even notice them at first.
12:27
Jim, Jim is hilarious. Like, Jim's get up, especially
12:34
like it never changes, it never changes.
12:38
Even after you find out like he's a woman doesn't change.
12:42
But like the the Hat with the false beard and knows, it's just
12:46
like it's so bad, it's so crazy. So the first I watched a show
12:54
Once like a couple months ago, I watched through like five
12:58
episodes but I was doing other things at the same time and like
13:02
I wasn't paying attention Elizabeth want to do the show
13:04
and I was like, oh I didn't think it was that funny.
13:06
I wasn't paying attention and so we went back.
13:09
I just re-watched the whole thing and I love and it and the
13:11
first time around, I didn't notice Jim's disguise.
13:16
So obvious when he actually pay attention like, yeah.
13:19
It's essentially like those glasses with the fake nose and
13:22
mustache. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
13:26
And we were literally just talking about it, but vika
13:30
Ortez, who, they play Jim, and I like, I'm obsessed with them
13:34
now. They are amazing.
13:37
I've never heard of them before, but I just want to know
13:40
everything. Now, they must have an
13:42
Instagram, their Instagrams. Amazing.
13:45
And I believe they are on, oh gosh, what show?
13:55
Hold on. Give me a second.
13:58
Oh sex. The sex lives of college girls,
14:01
which I had zero interest in watching before.
14:04
Anyways, vika did an amazing job and I'm excited to see the rest
14:10
of Jim's role in this show. I know I know who I wasn't
14:16
excited to see was Admiral Chauncey badminton?
14:24
At least I think that's who are was it.
14:25
Is that his brother or? I don't know.
14:28
I think by the same actor, it's Roy.
14:32
Kenny, ER right I love like how the English are portrayed in
14:38
this eye. Has that very like Hamilton
14:40
State of Mind or It's like yes. All the you know British
14:43
characters are just inherently evil.
14:46
Yeah they suck. Well considering the time.
14:51
Yeah. Yeah.
14:54
No. And I love cuz I'm like the
14:57
British Navy. I feel like just from what I the
15:01
little I know is very accurate. It's just like a little like
15:06
cartoon. Like I feel like she cartoon if
15:09
I did a little bit. Little bit but like all the
15:12
essential elements are like true to the period.
15:16
Right? Which I find so funny because
15:18
everything else is like outrageous.
15:21
I'm like not really true to the period.
15:25
It's just like a storybook version of the period, which is
15:29
really fun. Costuming.
15:31
Brilliant. I love the military uniforms and
15:33
I loved when our crew had to pretend that they're like of the
15:37
aristocracy which man, like this is not gonna work.
15:42
And I have wasn't saying because they're all like dressed up in
15:45
steeds and Lis wardrobe, right? Like, trying to look like they
15:52
know what they're doing, and just like, I feel like buttons
15:55
is the only one that like almost gets away with it, but that's
15:58
because he just like, doesn't really care but it's so funny.
16:03
Even the actor who plays him is just brilliant, I will never get
16:07
over that strong. Strong accent that he He does.
16:12
It's so funny. It makes me laugh.
16:14
Every time he opens his mouth, it's hilarious.
16:19
What wasn't. So, hilarious was, when we get
16:21
flashbacks to steeds life before I'm tired, he was a pirate.
16:27
It's so dramatic, it's so dramatic and just like grim and
16:32
I'm like, dude, like it's so Grim, it's sad but like, even
16:38
like the young Steed costumes are still So, very cute.
16:42
I love the little stockings and it's just adorable.
16:46
And it's like, I love. He always has like the sleeves.
16:49
Like the sleeves are always like he loves a frill, he loves it
16:52
for real. Oh gosh, when his dad was
16:58
butchering the animal that was. Ah, anyway, we're on to episode
17:04
2 a Dead Man. Steve Steed, battles.
17:10
His feelings of guilt while hunting for their missing
17:14
hostages while on an island staycation Lucille's makes a
17:21
surprising discovery. I loved the opening with the
17:28
pretend french navy men. It's so stupid.
17:33
I hate it, but I love it so much, like they're just so
17:37
typical like French cartoon is holding a bag.
17:41
At are literally talking about for red.
17:44
One of them has a variety in a striped shirt on with a red
17:48
necktie. I'm like, wow, there's this
17:50
really going after all the imperialist nations during this
17:54
time. Period, it's so dumb.
17:56
I love it. Yeah, we start to slowly
18:00
introduce Blackbeard, which I personally was just dying for
18:05
because I just love Tyga so much and I love black Petes, like
18:09
just his Is real life time with Blackbeard.
18:13
It's like, dude, you did not ever look that cool the red
18:19
bandana and the leather vest. I'm like, come on.
18:24
Yeah it's so bad and we get introduced to some of
18:32
Blackbeard's crew. It's once again they're very
18:35
like rock and roll like you said but also I love the use of
18:40
stripes and So they're just so yes, so ridiculous because it's
18:44
so like when you think of pirates for some reason, we
18:48
think of stripes and Christine water uses it so perfectly.
18:53
Be like, oh this is a pirate. This is another pirate, here's a
18:56
pirate right here as well. I also gosh, I just I love
19:05
Blackbeard's pirate, especially Fang.
19:08
I feel like they're almost like Hot Topic Pirates.
19:10
Yeah. Yes, their golf Pirates.
19:15
They're definitely got Pirates. I'm like I feel like I could
19:18
walk into a Hot Topic and walk out with one of their outfits.
19:23
Yes, I love con O'Neill. Who plays Izzy, he is hilarious.
19:30
Yes, this is the same man who is in the new Batman, right?
19:33
Yes he is. I just confirmed it.
19:35
That voice is hilariously gosh, it's so funny and it's like, I
19:40
love cuz It kind of the straight man through like most of this
19:45
show like he's not making a lot of jokes.
19:48
He's like seriously reacting to everything and it's like the way
19:52
he does. It is hilarious.
19:55
He's more black beard than Black Beard like he's yeah.
19:57
Very serious about this. Someone who is not serious.
20:01
Lucy. This is staycation.
20:03
Outfit made me a LOL. So stupid.
20:07
It's raining like this purple. Striped shirt.
20:10
Of course. But Like off the shoulder
20:12
because there's no laundry machine.
20:14
So everything's just like wrinkly and doesn't fit on
20:17
anyone. Yes, it's so funny he's great
20:21
because he has like the second best wardrobe after Steed.
20:25
He like changes it up the most right?
20:28
Maybe because he's the only one who can read and write but yeah,
20:32
I know I love the the changeup especially because he's just
20:35
like wandering around the island and then he finds Jim and he's
20:39
just like running for his life after Yeah, cuz Jim will kill
20:43
you. I didn't realize I didn't
20:46
realize it too much then it just now.
20:47
But like the crew members really don't change because they don't
20:50
have clothes like that, that's their outfit.
20:54
That is their outfit. So good also who doesn't get an
21:00
outfit change. Are the people who live on the
21:02
Iowa and they're just like what are you doing here?
21:06
Please leave. Yeah, I you love, I love how you
21:09
expect on the be like Super serious, but they're just like
21:12
can you just leave? Yeah we don't want to kill you
21:15
but we do want you to leave. So we will if we have to just go
21:18
there like if you're not part of the British army or navy you can
21:21
go. If you are your dad that's a
21:27
good episodes. Episode 2 is definitely one of
21:30
my favorites. It was so funny.
21:32
Also funny episode 3, a gentleman pirate Steed, now
21:39
known as the gentleman pirate. Tries to sell his hostage in the
21:45
Republic of pirates while oh Juan de and Jim face their past.
21:53
Yeah, this is another Stellar episode like Peak top-tier
21:59
costuming? Yes the all-white ensembles
22:05
Steed and lucious. That's deed makes like except
22:11
for the two of them. I'm like this is ridiculous.
22:13
Like what does he think he's doing?
22:17
He's Steve is a marketing genius, you know, he knows that
22:21
yes the brand himself. He's like what would look good
22:24
on Instagram as you know at the gentleman pirate.
22:27
Like okay, I'm going to wear really nice clothes, all white
22:30
matching with my crew, makes a lot of sense.
22:33
But what I was really excited for was seeing Fred Armisen and
22:39
Leslie Jones just So exciting, like they're the first taste of
22:46
that real rock and roll pirate, like Fred who plays Geraldo,
22:53
he's just got like the vest and the cutouts leaves that his
22:57
necktie and it's just like, oh yes, you do?
23:02
Kind of look scary, even though like I've never considered Fred
23:06
Armisen ass like scary scary looking actor.
23:11
But then we got her name, just Spanish, Jackie Spanish.
23:16
Jackie, thank you. This velvet number.
23:18
She's wearing, it's so good. I almost died.
23:23
I was like, you look incredible. Like this is what?
23:28
All women. Pirate like need to wear.
23:30
I love it. She is like this is the rock
23:34
star pirate that were talking about Spanish.
23:36
Jackie has all together and I love that.
23:38
It's like so elevated to me. It's like giving Little bit of
23:41
like a prince Vibe. Yeah, like pop star, rock star
23:45
Prince and like Spanish. Jackie Leslie, Jones plays with
23:50
so perfectly. It's, she's very hip trendy.
23:52
She's the boss. You know, sexy.
23:55
Everyone's obsessed with her. How many husbands has she had?
23:58
Like 14 or something. So, it was like 20.
24:03
It's so good. It's so good.
24:05
Definitely, one of my favorite costumes of the entire show
24:08
hands down. It's hilarious.
24:10
And it's like It's so like perfect especially because like
24:14
I've because to Deeds you know all in white and so you can tell
24:20
she really thought about like okay he needs to stand out
24:23
because her like neckties are this like very pale pink and
24:29
like very dirty lace. So it's like nothing's taken
24:33
away from Steed. Except for when he's with
24:36
Geraldo and geraldo's kind of has his like white vest Be like,
24:41
yeah, Steed, I'm like you as I deliver you to the Spanish Navy,
24:47
that's pretty good. Which again, I'm like they're
24:49
just taking all the like imperialists nations of the time
24:54
and just making them into cartoons.
24:57
Seriously. It's like a very awful game of
24:59
civilization. Yeah.
25:01
Computer. Which is really fun by the way.
25:04
Yeah, definitely Spanish. Jackie.
25:06
One of my favorite costumes of the entire series, its top tier
25:11
Here. Yeah, I mean so much.
25:12
So when they were promoting a show, they kept posting pictures
25:15
of Leslie, Jones of Fred Armisen, you would have thought
25:17
they were two main characters. When this show was first
25:20
announced. Honestly, I thought they were
25:22
going to be in it a lot more. You're right.
25:25
Then they actually were, but this brings us to episode for
25:30
discomfort in a married State. We see Steve's past and his
25:37
doomed marriage and we finally get to meet The infamous,
25:42
Blackbeard the pirate by no lie, but before we talk about
25:48
Blackbeard, we do have to mention Steed.
25:51
See, nope, married life. That we got a little window and
25:54
to, just like, top to your period costuming.
25:58
I love that. Christine wada, was like, oh
26:00
pirate, showed great. And the directors, like not so
26:03
fast. It's not all Pirates.
26:06
Yes, like this is a full project so much research went into this.
26:11
And all the costumes were beautiful.
26:13
Yeah, it must of any time. He has a flashback.
26:16
It's a very period-appropriate. Kind of, I always feel like it's
26:20
period simplified right? But very true to the period
26:26
every single time from their very awkward portrait sitting to
26:32
her wedding. Gown, their kids, like
26:35
everything is period-appropriate, just
26:38
simplified. And it's also, That there's it's
26:42
like the colors are beautiful. The Silhouettes.
26:45
Everything. I bet you this probably took the
26:47
majority of the show. Actually, I bet.
26:50
Yeah. Because the crew members wearing
26:52
all the same things entire show. So yeah.
26:55
Oh man. Like I would love to know if a,
26:58
like made it or like, rented it. I want to know.
27:02
Where can I find out? Christine?
27:04
Wada. We're reaching out right after
27:06
this. We're reaching out.
27:08
However, Spencer, as soon as I saw steeds night get up.
27:12
I was like this is what Spencer's been waiting for his
27:15
entire life. Like this is the perfect night
27:19
down and hat for Spencer. I want a good night gown.
27:25
Damn it. I want to wear nightgowns
27:30
speaking of that. There's a nightgown in episode
27:34
10. I think we'll get there when I
27:37
get there, but we'll get there. Oh, we'll get there.
27:39
Oh man, that We will get there, but we have the introduction of
27:48
Blackbeard title YTD. Oh my gosh, tiger looks so good.
27:56
I am obsessive this, look with the up.
27:59
Do the tattoos, the black leather, the shoulder piece.
28:03
It's perfect from head to toe, it's so good.
28:06
Like, okay, I'm going to be honest, I didn't think this man
28:09
could become anymore. More of a silver fox and then he
28:13
did, he is strong in this show is so good and like I want I
28:22
want like long hair. Now I want a beard, I want
28:24
everything. I just this is what I want to
28:26
be. I want to be Blackbeard Tycho
28:29
version. The leather vest leather pants
28:33
with the like low-slung Bell and just like all the studies.
28:38
I was like yes thank you. This is what I Needed.
28:41
Let's just say it. How it is.
28:43
He looks fucking sexy. So sexy, like so good.
28:53
So good until Steve puts it on and then it ruins a like now,
28:59
gentlemen, pirate like, no, you are no black Bierce Blackbeard
29:04
Steed. This is this is not the look for
29:06
you however, Taiga Blackbeard can also Applause Deeds look and
29:13
it works perfectly. It works perfectly.
29:16
We've contained no wrong. He cannot the like Reds, I don't
29:22
know. That's red leather are satin
29:24
like breeches with like the open like blouse.
29:27
I'm like, yes, it's Flawless from head to toe where
29:33
Blackbeard plans. If you haven't figured that out,
29:37
we're gonna have a taika waititi appreciation day one.
29:41
Are promoting this episode was all pictures of him.
29:44
In this very, very fine, pirate outfit, you're already know.
29:49
You already know this. Also brings us doubt the sewed.
29:55
Five, the best revenge is dressing.
29:58
Well up, black beard and Steed. Attend a very fancy dress party.
30:05
Oh my gosh. Well, all on day and Frenchy
30:09
embrace. Very false identities.
30:13
This episode is just amazing. I laughed entire time and that
30:19
could only be done by like one certain person.
30:23
Nick Kroll, I mean, that come on is just so good.
30:28
But before we get into it, we have an appearance from King,
30:33
George. It's make me die.
30:36
It's so funny. He shows up twice in this series
30:40
and He'll they each time he looks insane.
30:44
He looks insane, it's so funny. But I just, I'm loving like this
30:50
world perception of what king like all these British Kings.
30:53
Look, like they all just look idiotic.
30:56
Yes, and I love cuz, like I said, I feel like she's been
31:00
taking period. And then like really simplifying
31:03
it to kind of fit the overall aesthetic.
31:06
Yeah, but with King George, she goes all out there a little
31:10
pearls. Is on his neck.
31:11
Rough, like, just like all the like, clearly all the embroidery
31:17
and just everything is on King George.
31:21
I also love we get to see Blackbeard's crew and Steve's
31:25
crew in the same little boat, while Blackbeard's, giving them
31:30
a pirating lesson and the contrast is hilarious, it is so
31:36
funny. It's just like how how did Steve
31:39
find all these crew members Is honestly is what I want to know
31:42
because it's just a greatest band of Misfits.
31:46
It's all over the place. I feel like he interviewed.
31:50
Each one was like, I could teach him something.
31:53
Exactly. That's what he thought every
31:55
single time not. It's not making the best crew,
31:58
but it's a funny crew. But they steal an invitation to
32:03
a fancy French dress party on a boat, right?
32:09
I'm like this, this happen. And just like in the middle of
32:13
the ocean like I'm sure like people had fancy dress like boat
32:17
parties back in the day but like this far out into the ocean.
32:20
I know. Now I just want to be on a fancy
32:23
dress boat party, right right. Especially if Blackbeard is
32:30
walking around and purple velvet with little purple bows in his
32:33
beard. I mean, stop it like costume.
32:39
It's I feel like you're getting an Emmy.
32:43
At least the nomination, like, come on, if not we won't do
32:47
anything but will be mad about. Yeah, I'll speak to someone's
32:50
manager. I'll tell you that right now.
32:53
Yeah, but I love black beer because I feel like it was
33:00
really supposed to make. Like I feel like they were
33:02
trying to make him look a little bit ridiculous but he looks like
33:06
such a gentleman. What?
33:07
Yeah, it's just Look, smooth and like, they just like his hair
33:12
back a little bit. And you're like, wow, yeah.
33:14
That, that really does it. It doesn't.
33:16
It does it. And I must say, Steve, looks
33:19
quite fine and like, he is like a master stylist mixing that
33:25
like beachy print with that? Checkered vest.
33:29
Yeah, I'm very nice. Steed is a costume as iron.
33:33
That's really what this show is essentially about a costume
33:38
designer, who That costume designer Myers absolutely
33:43
absolute. With all the production's they
33:45
put on on that ship. Absolutely.
33:50
I have to say though Frenchy and oh one day pretending to be an
33:56
African prince. Yeah.
33:59
And his advisor, I like that was my favorite part of the show.
34:03
Really are not off the show of this episode.
34:06
That was my favorite part of this episode of it.
34:09
They like phrase almost like it's like the beginning of like
34:11
periods games. Like this was the first pyramid
34:14
scheme in history. We absolutely, it's just like
34:20
every time they talked it was just like, you know, like Hugh.
34:24
He will especially back in the day would just get those random,
34:27
like scam emails. Oh, yeah, like, that's what each
34:31
of everything they said. Sound like a scam email, well,
34:37
good, so good. Bye.
34:40
Spencer I don't know about you but I was so excited.
34:45
It's Christian Shaw and Nick Kroll.
34:48
When they showed up on the screen I died.
34:52
I remember like at the time I was like on my phone or
34:55
something and I heard Nick Kroll's French accent and I
35:01
immediately stopped everything I was doing and I was like, well
35:04
it is him, it is the comedy King, he is hilarious, Nick
35:08
Kroll could Play any character. He's so funny.
35:12
Any character? And he character and Kristen's
35:15
Shaw. I was like she was so funny.
35:18
But then like her hair I was like, oh my gosh.
35:24
Like that hair. Suited her perfectly, but was so
35:29
outrageous. It was so outrageous.
35:32
It's so good. Like I was like this can't get
35:35
better than that hair. And then you see her sitting
35:38
down. And each side of her, her skirt,
35:42
the pan. Yeas must be 3 feet on each
35:44
side. She literally looks like she has
35:46
a coffee table underneath there. So good.
35:51
She does. It was so funny.
35:53
And just like the front of her dress.
35:55
Looks like it's covered in brooches, right?
35:58
I mean, this needs to be the episode that's like sent to the
36:02
television Academy for the Emmy nomination.
36:04
The costumes are just outrageous.
36:07
There are so many, but Um, just watching the entire episode.
36:10
You're looking around to each of like the party guests costumes,
36:14
all flawless flawless. I especially liked the chicken.
36:18
The guy dressed up as a chicken that was a personal favorite of
36:24
mine. I'll just never get this image
36:28
of Nick Kroll of that white makeup out of my head.
36:31
That's gonna live with me. It's good as it should.
36:36
Oh, but Spencer, are you For a little, a little rest time on
36:41

38:28
Steal his crew decide to put on a little bit of a spectacle for
38:35
the Swedish crew. They are aiming to terrify
38:44
episode made. No sense.
38:46
It's just one big production. I was a little confusing.
38:51
What was going on honestly. Yeah but I loved it.
38:55
Like, I don't know what's happening.
38:56
I suddenly feel very bad for Black Beard.
38:59
Yeah, and Steve is just ridiculous.
39:02
He looks like as like a high school Drama teacher.
39:07
That is just like, way too into drama.
39:12
Like, that's what the turtleneck.
39:16
That's the best way to explain. He is like a high school, Drama,
39:18
teacher, who became a pirate? Yes.
39:22
Yes, oh my God, Steve bonnet. Is a High School Drama teacher,
39:27
who became a pirate, absolutely buddy just that turtleneck and
39:35
then him like reciting Hamlet throughout the rest of it.
39:38
I was like oh my gosh and then we have um Frenchy in that weird
39:45
witches. I'm like this is not the Wizard
39:48
of Oz like you look like the wicked witch and then I love The
39:55
like the theme of like cats being the most terrifying thing.
39:59
Oh, yeah. We have.
40:02
We John dressed up as a cat. I think what his part and I'm
40:10
just like, this is ridiculous. It's so funny.
40:14
And everyone yet. Everyone is terrified of cats.
40:16
It's ridiculous. Everyone is terrified.
40:19
And then the poor I think they're Swedish Sailors.
40:24
I'm just like All their dresses like pilgrims perhaps, I don't
40:28
know what what that is. They're trying to remember where
40:34
the pilgrims came from, like Sweden or Germany or something.
40:38
One of those countries, they're just like, they're not having
40:46
it, they're not having it. They're so confused, they're
40:51
confused. I was confused.
40:53
I was just like what's going on. On but just of course it's a big
40:57
production. So all the costumes are insane
41:00
because this is what I was going to come.
41:03
Steve Steve Bonnet lives for he does.
41:08
He does. But episode 7, this is happening
41:14
a little trip to st. Augustine for some orange or red
41:18
oranges. Reveals more about Jim's past
41:22
and sends Steed and Blackbeard Onto a little treasure hunt.
41:29
So, this is where we're starting to pick up on a little bit of
41:31
like a steed Blackbeard kind of romance here.
41:37
I was expected to either, but then once it was happening, I
41:40
was like, oh, wow, this is happening.
41:42
I yeah, I love this. It was so adorable.
41:46
And it's like, Stephen Blackbeard there, just like, so
41:49
classy with their tea, like I was like, Blackbeard can't get
41:54
much sexier. Juror, and then he's drinking
41:56
his teeth. Yes, sir.
42:00
He could do no wrong. He can do no wrong.
42:05
And they're like, okay. Gotta get some oranges.
42:06
Let's go to st. Augustine and Steve's, like, I
42:10
bought a treasure map and everyone's like, okay, steep,
42:14
like, why would you buy a treasure man?
42:17
Yeah, everyone's like, that's not how it works.
42:20
But black them blacker's just like, let's just let's fine.
42:24
That's Out and Steve puts on this like ridiculous, like
42:28
Safari outfit, right? He looks like he's going on the
42:33
jungle cruise at Disneyland. Like the jungle cruise are like
42:37
about to go like hike the Outback or something.
42:42
I was like, what are you doing, man?
42:46
We love to like doing. We love to make fun of Steve,
42:49
honestly, I'm just really jealous.
42:52
Yeah. The most ridiculous part was
42:59
mother teach terrifying. I've never been more afraid of a
43:05
none except maybe the none valek.
43:13
Yes, he was great, especially throughout times there's like a
43:18
million different kinds of nuns habits but I love that this one.
43:23
It's just all black. Just it makes her look all that
43:27
more intimidating. When she's throwing her knives,
43:30
around the nun. Scariness the side, we get to a
43:35
very interesting episode episode 8.
43:39
We go way back, I love this episode, it is so funny, it's so
43:46
good. Blackbeard's old friend shows up
43:51
to create some chaos and Jim decides to go visit Spanish,
43:57
Jackie Will Arnett plays like that trashy friends.
44:06
Well this so funny and he looks ridiculous of that mustache,
44:10
everything's great. And it's costume just says like
44:14
American Hockey, Frontiers American who loves to just drink
44:23
and break things. All day long.
44:26
Yeah, so good in Black Beard kind of knows that he's like, oh
44:29
no. My friend kind of suck.
44:32
He knows it, but that he like he's like falling back into his
44:34
old bad habits, right. But then I also love Jim and
44:40
Spanish Jackie's like heart-to-heart right?
44:44
Which was very surprising to me like okay I guess they're
44:47
besties like it didn't take yeah.
44:49
Much to just get her back on your side.
44:51
No I feel like Spanish Jack. He's like kind of almost like Oh
44:55
yeah, I guess he did brutally murder your father in front of
45:00
you. That was like the vibe.
45:01
I got, she's like, okay, this makes sense, I was so shocked
45:05
when Spanish Jackie shot, Fred Armisen his character to, like,
45:09
without you. It's blinking.
45:10
I was like, okay, right? She has husband's to spare.
45:14
So, I mean, the right, just like, and that's a series wrap
45:18
for Fred Armisen. Congratulations.
45:21
Just like that, just like that. Um, I also love her Spanish
45:27
Jackie's. Beautiful silk blouse.
45:30
Hey in the scene catching all the light seriously very chic
45:35
like Spanish Jackie has a very fashionable taste to her.
45:39
Yeah. So fashionable but things get a
45:43
little less fashionable for a steed.
45:46
A when facing a hanging he and Blackbeard make the tough
45:54
decision. Ian to leave their life of
45:57
piracy all those. It's so romantic and so
46:01
beautiful. I know they're like Snot
46:06
beautiful though. Was when Blackbeard had to shave
46:09
his beard. I know, I was like, you still
46:14
look so handsome but just like, something's missing.
46:17
Yeah, it's so frustrating and it's like Steed is like a,
46:24
right? Really shocked when he just like
46:27
pops like his head under the bunk and it's like oh hey what's
46:31
going on? It's like yeah.
46:32
You look like an entirely different person Blackbeard even
46:36
though we're so used to seeing this taika waititi and like real
46:39
life. Yeah it was just stuck to like
46:42
boys in real life Tycho itd. He like has a little bit of
46:45
stubble. Most of the time, I feel like
46:48
yeah, yeah for sure but they get put in these terribly like dull
46:53
white green. Greenish, beige outfits.
46:57
Yeah, so mean it's so me. It's like, of all the things you
47:01
could have done British Navy, you couldn't like that.
47:03
You had to put them in those ugly outfits.
47:06
Let's kind of like, one of the ultimate punishment, so take
47:08
like, steeds like fashion away from him.
47:11
His entire wardrobe. Nice.
47:13
They found his secret wardrobe, probably probably they pay
47:18
auction it off and made a lot of money.
47:21
That was one of my favorite parts of the show when he showed
47:23
Blackbeard his Back up wardrobe. I was like oh yes, you are my
47:30
kind of man, Stede Bonnet, a backup wardrobe.
47:34
It's like this is nice. Oh but this also leads us to
47:42
episode 10 wherever you go. There you are.
47:47
Steve tries to get his old life back.
47:52
Meanwhile, a broken heart. Headed for Blackbeard sulks.
47:59
It's so sad. I was feeling unwell watching,
48:03
like, this is just so sad. I think it was so sad.
48:07
I also felt unwell, though, when Steed walks into his wife's will
48:13
party and just ruins the mood, I was feeling unwell until I saw
48:18
Kristen Johnston ohm, and I should read a number with the
48:23
iPad for my cigarette. Oh my gosh.
48:29
She was perfect. She was perfect.
48:33
Has she ever looked as good as she did?
48:35
And this, like moment right here.
48:37
I mean, I know that costume is sickening.
48:41
I'm obsessed with it. I loved the the Widow Bonnet her
48:46
whole get up. Because it's very like, like
48:49
Rebel. It's like I feel like it's very
48:51
Rebel E4 at the time. Yeah.
48:53
She's almost like, I'm the cool. Schoolmistress.
48:57
Yeah, she's stoked. She's a widow now.
48:59
She has like a new boyfriend. She's a painter.
49:02
Like she's like that. Like your best life.
49:05
Yeah. Says that hard Edge like painter
49:06
Vibe at this moment. Yeah she's like I got all his
49:10
money and none of the responsibility I just realized
49:15
who have like Kristen Johnston's character for a pirate show.
49:19
We only saw like what one eye patch which I thought was quite
49:23
genius also like Justine was like, I'm not gonna go for like
49:27
the typical pirate look, but she used it.
49:30
As more like a fashion piece for this one character.
49:33
And it like, really landed, it really landed.
49:36
It really did especially considering how sketchy her
49:39
character if you're a black beard.
49:46
He's so sad and he's, he's emo black beard, and he's going
49:51
through the motions. And then we see him kind of
49:55
Emerge out of it. A little bit from his like
49:57
depression nap. He's rain, this stunning purple
50:02
raspberry like night raspberry. Yeah, it's it's amazing.
50:08
It's beautiful. I want to I almost think it's
50:11
either an embroidered or I feel like, it's a velvet burnout with
50:15
those designs. Yeah, that's kind of what I
50:19
think it is and it's just so beautiful and he's just like
50:22
wants to be wrapped and one of steeds, Like nightgowns.
50:26
And he's just like wandering around the ship because he
50:29
doesn't know what to do now. That's all I was so sad.
50:33
So sad I actually want to cry. It's like they took this
50:38
ridiculous like pirate comedy and they like put so much like
50:42
love and like attention into it. It's just, I don't know.
50:45
It was really beautiful and it really landed with me, but I'm
50:49
glad that the same time this was happening Steed was planning.
50:53
This elaborate Scheme where he gets massacred by.
50:58
Did I say a jungle cat, which was then?
51:01
Yeah, he was then hit by a carriage and crushed by Falling
51:06
piano. I was laughing so hard of us so
51:12
good. Oh my gosh.
51:13
And they just immediately, like, raise a toast to him like yeah,
51:16
he's dead. We didn't plan this.
51:19
Whoo, it's over. Meanwhile, is he hands is taking
51:24
advantage. Image of Blackbeard's feelings
51:27
and turns him back into the black beard.
51:29
He wants him to be so rude, he turned him into.
51:32
Robert Pattinson has version of the Batman Blackbeard.
51:36
We have the black eye makeup. Blackbeard's listening to some
51:40
Nirvana. Something's in the way he like
51:45
he, like he like eyebrowed stenciled in his beard.
51:52
He's looking for vengeance. He is Is looking for vengeance.
51:57
He tricks the the crew. I love like that.
52:01
He's like, okay, Arwen, I am busy.
52:05
Oh, no. Are when we're almost done.
52:10
I love that. He's like, okay, Frenchy gym and
52:13
all wand you three. Yes, everybody else.
52:17
Get off. Yeah, you're staying on this
52:19
island and he just ditches them and like things on the island
52:22
goes south like, very fast like They're very quickly, they're
52:26
trying to eat each other probably within, like, two hours
52:29
because that one pirate like desperately wants to be a
52:31
cannibal. He'll never admit it, but he
52:34
brings it up all the time. If you have to be a cannibal,
52:38
you have to be a cannibal. That's just how it is stupid.
52:44
Like I get it. I'd be hungry.
52:48
I get it. And I just can't wait for season
52:52
2. I'm so glad they announced it
52:54
there. Justin What's it like not too
52:56
long ago. There's more coming and I'm very
52:59
happy. I am so happy.
53:02
Your cat is freaking out. Yeah I think we're about to
53:06
leave our win on the abandoned Island.
53:08
I know Arwen I wish I knew a pirate song, the saying.
53:14
Well Elizabeth's gone. Yeah, she's back.
53:20
All right. Are you just gonna sing from now
53:22
on whenever I leave to take care of my cats?
53:24
Yeah. What's the sounds like we're
53:25
gonna have to start preparing for since it's happening?
53:27
Every episode at this point, my gosh, it's I told you aren't has
53:31
just decided. My room is the room for naps
53:34
whether or not, I like it, you know, Aaron's excited for what
53:39
for us to play one costume, that rule them all, hit it Daniel.
53:45
The one costume to rule them all.
53:52
Elizabeth. Why don't you go first this
53:55
time? I think this is no surprise.
53:57
My one costume to rule them all is back, Blackbeard's classic
54:01
rock and roll pirate. Look it's so good.
54:04
It's tough to hear. It's so good like okay because I
54:08
didn't talk about it enough before a the tailoring
54:15
impeccable the design because that has a lot going on.
54:20
There's a lot happening. It is Perfect the actor, the
54:25
Ultimate Silver Fox. Mmm-hmm the shoulder piece like
54:32
it really does it for me. Yeah.
54:35
And yet the like fingerless gloves just like everything
54:39
about tattoos. We're just like over here.
54:44
Like nice Blackbeard has never looked so good has never looked
54:51
so good. I think that he didn't look that
54:53
good or real life. He definitely probably did not
54:55
look that good in real life. No way.
54:57
Absolutely no. Good choice.
55:00
Elizabeth honestly, thank we have the same choice.
55:02
I knew that you were going to pick this because I was also
55:05
going to pick it, so I picked another Blackbeard look.
55:09
It was that purple velvet number from the French party when he
55:13
had the little the little bows and his beard.
55:16
It just brought me so much joy. I'm like Blackbeard Co are
55:20
literally everything and he looks This little look out, the
55:24
Bose is really did it for me like I was laughing, it's just
55:29
so good, I don't know. Taika waititi deserves a little
55:32
bit of a Emmy nomination for the show.
55:35
I agree. I agree.
55:38
It's so good. He's underrated as an actor
55:41
somehow somehow. And I don't understand this
55:44
Splash with his directing that people forget.
55:47
He's equally as amazing an actor.
55:50
Yeah, I mean, Thor Ragnarok. The what we do in the Shadows
55:54
movie. Oh my gosh.
55:56
JoJo rabbit, where you play as Hitler and it's not, yeah, I
56:00
need to see that we have two. That is a great taika waititi
56:04
film and he plays Hitler and he's still like somehow it's
56:08
just something about this, man. He could do no wrong.
56:13
He has like pure energy, so I follow him on Instagram,
56:16
obviously. And he took his kids to hobbiton
56:20
because he's from New Zealand. So of course, so he took them to
56:23
hobbiton and he's like, you know, something like Dad,
56:26
vacation Chronicles or something.
56:29
He was just like, instagramming himself at hobbiton.
56:32
I was like, this is so pure, like, why are you such an
56:35
adorable human being. I love how this episode that's
56:40
