Greetings nerds! Sarah Belmont and Will Polk are back on Scene N Nerd, wrapping up 2024 with a bang and a lot of geeky goodness. They're diving into the chaos caused by the writer and actor strikes of 2023, which impacted shows like Dune Prophecy with its shorter season. Our dynamic duo dissects the season finale, exploring juicy themes like sacrifice and a fear-eating virus. 

Things lighten up as they break down the new Superman trailer that's breaking the internet with over 250 million views. They're debating whether the Man of Steel can outmuscle the Fantastic Four at the box office, especially with the charismatic Pedro Pascal joining the party. And just imagine – could there be a dance-off in the Superman flick? 

As they wrap things up, Sarah and Will are buzzing about how the Dune: Prophecy is expanding the Dune lore. 

Thanks for joining us in 2024. Look for our new season starting on January 7, 2025!

1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,544
>> Sarah : Greetings, nerds. This is Scene N Nerd. I'm your host, Sarah Belmont, and

2
00:00:03,552 --> 00:00:06,360
with me, as always, is our Mr. Producer, Will Polk. How are you doing

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:07,128
tonight, Will?

4
00:00:07,264 --> 00:00:09,560
>> Will: Doing very well, Sarah. Merry Christmas Eve

5
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:10,328
Eve.

6
00:00:10,504 --> 00:00:13,064
>> Sarah : Merry Christmas Eve Eve. And

7
00:00:13,152 --> 00:00:15,140
Happy Almost

8
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:16,856
New Year.

9
00:00:17,008 --> 00:00:19,928
>> Will: Yeah, I know, I know. 2024 coming

10
00:00:19,984 --> 00:00:21,140
to a quick close.

11
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,530
>> Sarah : A, quick close. I mean, we

12
00:00:24,570 --> 00:00:27,266
did our 2024 in review last

13
00:00:27,338 --> 00:00:30,296
week, and I know you have a note

14
00:00:30,408 --> 00:00:32,984
because you've thought about it a while. I have not.

15
00:00:33,152 --> 00:00:35,752
>> Will: No, no. Well, it was really a note from our

16
00:00:35,776 --> 00:00:37,944
discussion tonight about Dune

17
00:00:37,992 --> 00:00:40,952
prophecy. And that's why I put that on there,

18
00:00:40,976 --> 00:00:43,960
because I was, I was thinking about the list, and I

19
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,888
was thinking about how we. We did our. Our list

20
00:00:46,944 --> 00:00:49,928
last. For last year. For the year. And I was thinking

21
00:00:49,944 --> 00:00:52,888
about last year with the strike and like, thinking

22
00:00:52,904 --> 00:00:54,820
about House of the Dragon and

23
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,432
how the strike, you know, impacted this season as

24
00:00:58,456 --> 00:01:01,408
far as the shows and thinking about some other things as well. And

25
00:01:01,464 --> 00:01:04,440
one of the things, I was wondering when I wrote

26
00:01:04,456 --> 00:01:07,016
this note last night was I wonder if the strike

27
00:01:07,064 --> 00:01:10,024
impacted Dune. And sure enough, I

28
00:01:10,048 --> 00:01:12,612
was listening to the official podcast today, and,

29
00:01:12,732 --> 00:01:15,584
the, showrunner was talking about how the reason why

30
00:01:15,608 --> 00:01:18,240
they only had six episodes was because it was

31
00:01:18,296 --> 00:01:21,066
impacted by the writers in actor strike. So I was like, ah,

32
00:01:21,184 --> 00:01:23,814
so that, that really, you know, and it was what, what

33
00:01:23,838 --> 00:01:26,748
spurred it was our text exchange last night, whenever,

34
00:01:26,812 --> 00:01:29,740
after we both watched the episode and, and. And that's what kind of

35
00:01:29,748 --> 00:01:32,614
got my. Got the gears turning after, after.

36
00:01:32,734 --> 00:01:35,554
After we. We talked. So, OB attack. So that's what.

37
00:01:35,594 --> 00:01:37,538
That's, that's where that note came from.

38
00:01:37,706 --> 00:01:40,434
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah, I mean, I know I recalled

39
00:01:40,594 --> 00:01:43,294
you mentioning that throughout the year,

40
00:01:43,464 --> 00:01:46,272
you kept bringing up the writer strikes when we were talking about

41
00:01:46,328 --> 00:01:48,694
various, TV shows.

42
00:01:49,294 --> 00:01:52,166
and sure, they get. I, I get

43
00:01:52,190 --> 00:01:54,274
it. Shortened seasons and

44
00:01:55,374 --> 00:01:57,990
it screws up with pacing and they can't fully

45
00:01:58,022 --> 00:02:00,886
execute what they can do. But at

46
00:02:00,910 --> 00:02:03,894
the same time I'm like, okay, sure, use that

47
00:02:03,934 --> 00:02:06,822
excuse. You got it this season. We'll see what you say next

48
00:02:06,878 --> 00:02:08,354
season when you screw something.

49
00:02:10,494 --> 00:02:13,478
>> Will: For sure. For sure. Yeah, everybody's. Everybody's got one Mulligan for

50
00:02:13,486 --> 00:02:14,374
20, 23.

51
00:02:14,494 --> 00:02:17,238
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah, yeah, you got one legit

52
00:02:17,286 --> 00:02:20,226
excuse. A strike won't happen again for another 10

53
00:02:20,250 --> 00:02:21,974
years. So, yeah, yeah,

54
00:02:23,514 --> 00:02:25,922
just, like, keep in mind, then you got to

55
00:02:25,962 --> 00:02:28,882
deliver the following year even more because

56
00:02:28,922 --> 00:02:31,650
you don't got that excuse. And then if you

57
00:02:31,706 --> 00:02:34,648
don't deliver, then it's kind of like, well, I

58
00:02:34,672 --> 00:02:37,528
wonder how Much that did affect the previous

59
00:02:37,632 --> 00:02:38,276
year.

60
00:02:41,966 --> 00:02:44,630
yeah. But before we get fully into Dune

61
00:02:44,678 --> 00:02:47,598
prophecy, we do have

62
00:02:47,702 --> 00:02:50,142
a very small trailer that nobody's

63
00:02:50,174 --> 00:02:53,036
watching, has seen at all. I mean, I

64
00:02:53,076 --> 00:02:55,884
feel like we're the only people who are gonna ever

65
00:02:55,940 --> 00:02:58,796
talk about this trailer. But the, the

66
00:02:58,836 --> 00:03:01,228
little Superman trailer dropped

67
00:03:01,372 --> 00:03:03,910
and Well, it looks like a Superman

68
00:03:03,958 --> 00:03:04,646
movie.

69
00:03:04,806 --> 00:03:07,254
>> Will: Yeah, it looks like a good Superman movie.

70
00:03:07,350 --> 00:03:10,230
And I know, I mean plenty

71
00:03:10,278 --> 00:03:13,206
of reactors out there have shared their thoughts and I won't get

72
00:03:13,246 --> 00:03:16,230
into like all the scenes. Everybody's seen it.

73
00:03:16,238 --> 00:03:18,854
I mean, hell, it's like I think at least

74
00:03:18,910 --> 00:03:21,750
250 million views over as

75
00:03:21,838 --> 00:03:24,726
I think the first 24 hours alone think is that a new record

76
00:03:24,766 --> 00:03:27,548
for WB and and also DC

77
00:03:27,612 --> 00:03:30,540
as far as their films break thing? I broke the minus. I

78
00:03:30,548 --> 00:03:32,296
think it actually broke man of Steel's record.

79
00:03:32,836 --> 00:03:33,596
>> Sarah : Yeah.

80
00:03:33,756 --> 00:03:36,554
>> Will: And and then of course I think it was over a million social

81
00:03:36,610 --> 00:03:39,466
posts in that same time period. So no,

82
00:03:39,506 --> 00:03:42,454
nobody's talking about this at all. But but well,

83
00:03:42,510 --> 00:03:45,498
at least for, I will say that, you

84
00:03:45,522 --> 00:03:48,490
know, I did my, my raw

85
00:03:48,538 --> 00:03:50,806
reaction when I first watched it was like

86
00:03:51,106 --> 00:03:53,994
James Gunn, you know, you,

87
00:03:54,050 --> 00:03:56,842
I, I, I love, I, I'm

88
00:03:56,874 --> 00:03:59,722
looking forward to July. And my second

89
00:03:59,794 --> 00:04:02,618
thought was I wonder if Marvel's gonna like push back

90
00:04:02,646 --> 00:04:05,472
Fantastic Four after this because it comes

91
00:04:05,544 --> 00:04:07,952
out two weeks after the Superman

92
00:04:08,064 --> 00:04:11,001
premieres on July 11th. So that's

93
00:04:11,033 --> 00:04:13,947
my, that's the only other thing. those are the two things that like popped out of my

94
00:04:13,971 --> 00:04:15,695
head when I first watched the trailer.

95
00:04:19,475 --> 00:04:22,215
>> Sarah : Yeah. Trying to think.

96
00:04:25,075 --> 00:04:27,515
No, no, that did move because I

97
00:04:27,555 --> 00:04:30,215
remember Civil War and Batman V

98
00:04:30,515 --> 00:04:33,355
Superman, ah, were originally slated to come out like

99
00:04:33,395 --> 00:04:35,915
within a two week period of each other. And then

100
00:04:35,955 --> 00:04:38,912
Superman v Batman, Batman V Superman got pushed

101
00:04:38,944 --> 00:04:41,568
to March of that year. Yeah, yeah,

102
00:04:41,616 --> 00:04:44,464
yeah, yeah. I don't think anyone is

103
00:04:44,504 --> 00:04:47,338
gonna blink in this. I don't,

104
00:04:47,386 --> 00:04:50,234
I don't think so because I

105
00:04:50,274 --> 00:04:53,114
mean people have pointed out, but

106
00:04:53,154 --> 00:04:55,930
this is more like counter programming. But the whole

107
00:04:55,962 --> 00:04:58,602
Barbenheimer thing that happened last

108
00:04:58,658 --> 00:04:59,114
year.

109
00:04:59,234 --> 00:05:00,234
>> Will: That's a good point.

110
00:05:00,354 --> 00:05:02,986
>> Sarah : That could very well happen again here. I

111
00:05:03,010 --> 00:05:04,974
mean the same people

112
00:05:05,914 --> 00:05:08,370
are going to go and see both movies,

113
00:05:08,482 --> 00:05:11,122
arguably. And then Fantastic Four

114
00:05:11,178 --> 00:05:14,114
also has this little known actor who's barely

115
00:05:14,194 --> 00:05:16,694
in anything called Pedro Pascal.

116
00:05:19,994 --> 00:05:22,946
And then Johnny Storm. I

117
00:05:22,970 --> 00:05:25,938
swear I keep seeing new trailers for movies

118
00:05:25,986 --> 00:05:28,174
coming out and he's in everything

119
00:05:28,714 --> 00:05:31,586
these days. Like, who'd have thought that guy

120
00:05:31,650 --> 00:05:34,330
from, from Stranger Things would,

121
00:05:34,482 --> 00:05:37,434
would just, just, just soar? I mean, and,

122
00:05:37,474 --> 00:05:40,250
and now, now did you hear the rumor Sadie

123
00:05:40,282 --> 00:05:42,970
Singh from Stranger Things is rumored to be Jean

124
00:05:43,002 --> 00:05:43,610
Grey.

125
00:05:43,722 --> 00:05:46,044
>> Will: I heard that. Yes. Actually, I saw, I was watching

126
00:05:46,124 --> 00:05:49,046
Snyder's, and Rocha talk about it live on the show

127
00:05:49,070 --> 00:05:51,048
last week, and I was just like, All right.

128
00:05:51,508 --> 00:05:54,460
>> Sarah : I was just like, you know what?

129
00:05:54,644 --> 00:05:57,534
Perfect. Because, the way she, like,

130
00:05:57,606 --> 00:06:00,296
held together the. The first half

131
00:06:00,352 --> 00:06:02,840
of season four, like,

132
00:06:02,944 --> 00:06:05,672
she. She was the reason why I was, like,

133
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,664
suddenly interested. And then I would just fast

134
00:06:08,696 --> 00:06:11,240
forward through every Millie Bobby Brown scene.

135
00:06:11,304 --> 00:06:13,738
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which is. Yeah. Ah,

136
00:06:13,992 --> 00:06:16,954
same. I mean, yeah, I mean, she really was the glue to hell.

137
00:06:16,986 --> 00:06:19,494
See that? And also, And, what was the character's

138
00:06:19,526 --> 00:06:22,028
name, in Stranger Things.

139
00:06:22,328 --> 00:06:25,154
>> Sarah : Oh, gosh, it's been a while. It's been a while. I'm

140
00:06:25,186 --> 00:06:25,798
sorry.

141
00:06:27,498 --> 00:06:30,478
Storyline, like, did a lot.

142
00:06:30,918 --> 00:06:33,458
but, yeah, and. And we should be talking.

143
00:06:33,878 --> 00:06:36,814
We should be able to recall their not

144
00:06:36,886 --> 00:06:39,678
names much better next year. Right? That's when

145
00:06:39,718 --> 00:06:41,470
the final season will come out.

146
00:06:41,574 --> 00:06:44,078
>> Will: That's when it drops. Yep. So. Yeah,

147
00:06:44,158 --> 00:06:47,048
so, yeah. But, yeah, like I said, you know, getting

148
00:06:47,088 --> 00:06:50,040
back to the Superman trailer and, and all. I mean, I really did

149
00:06:50,064 --> 00:06:52,664
enjoy it. I am really looking forward to it probably.

150
00:06:52,776 --> 00:06:55,662
And I think, you know, it,

151
00:06:55,618 --> 00:06:57,884
The. The whole, you know, they had the whole

152
00:06:58,076 --> 00:07:00,844
marketing push. You know, they had the poster

153
00:07:00,876 --> 00:07:03,740
dropped and they had the teaser of the teaser, and then we actually had a

154
00:07:03,764 --> 00:07:06,572
teaser. And you know, I just. I just keep thinking,

155
00:07:06,700 --> 00:07:09,244
look up and. And I like the music

156
00:07:09,316 --> 00:07:12,300
that they did it in more of a D

157
00:07:12,404 --> 00:07:14,952
minor, I believe, as far as the, John Williams

158
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,800
theme and sort instead of C major. So I was just like,

159
00:07:17,824 --> 00:07:20,488
okay, I'm. I'm rocking with this. And,

160
00:07:20,488 --> 00:07:23,466
yeah, I'm. It's. It's, I'm excited for it.

161
00:07:23,522 --> 00:07:26,442
I really am. And maybe, maybe this will get

162
00:07:26,450 --> 00:07:29,198
you back on the DC train. Other than Peacemaker.

163
00:07:31,298 --> 00:07:33,386
>> Sarah : I'm off the DC train.

164
00:07:33,562 --> 00:07:36,042
>> Will: I thought you were. I thought you were done with DC or just

165
00:07:36,050 --> 00:07:37,114
dceu.

166
00:07:37,306 --> 00:07:39,914
>> Sarah : I'm just. I'm just kind of over

167
00:07:40,066 --> 00:07:42,794
studios in general promising things,

168
00:07:42,866 --> 00:07:45,866
never delivering or then delivering them. Half

169
00:07:45,922 --> 00:07:46,558
ass.

170
00:07:46,738 --> 00:07:48,578
>> Will: Got it. Got it. I don't think this.

171
00:07:49,198 --> 00:07:51,990
>> Sarah : I. I call a spade a spade. I call a

172
00:07:52,014 --> 00:07:53,078
dud a dud.

173
00:07:53,238 --> 00:07:53,958
>> Will: True.

174
00:07:53,968 --> 00:07:56,720
>> Sarah : you do. Except for like. Like Love and

175
00:07:56,744 --> 00:07:57,536
Thunder.

176
00:07:57,712 --> 00:07:58,468
>> Will: Yes.

177
00:07:59,528 --> 00:08:02,480
>> Sarah : Which I still had a good time. Have I watched it

178
00:08:02,504 --> 00:08:03,296
again? No.

179
00:08:03,432 --> 00:08:06,240
>> Will: Oh, I never will. I will never watch that

180
00:08:06,264 --> 00:08:06,736
movie again.

181
00:08:06,792 --> 00:08:09,696
>> Sarah : So. So. So before you we jump into

182
00:08:09,752 --> 00:08:12,710
Dune, I would like to say my thoughts because this is a trailer I

183
00:08:12,734 --> 00:08:15,648
actually watched, because it is a legit teaser.

184
00:08:15,728 --> 00:08:18,576
I still don't really know what is happening.

185
00:08:18,672 --> 00:08:21,440
I see the montage and I

186
00:08:21,464 --> 00:08:24,288
see clips. I feel like they gave away too

187
00:08:24,328 --> 00:08:27,040
many of the Lois and Clark kissing scenes,

188
00:08:27,104 --> 00:08:29,788
especially one in particular, which I'm like,

189
00:08:30,168 --> 00:08:33,148
that would have been better, but. But we'll see.

190
00:08:34,018 --> 00:08:37,018
and. And I. I am mainly

191
00:08:37,098 --> 00:08:39,538
looking forward to this because

192
00:08:40,238 --> 00:08:42,662
of the actress who plays Lois

193
00:08:42,710 --> 00:08:45,126
Lane, formally played

194
00:08:45,262 --> 00:08:48,070
Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Everyone knows how much I

195
00:08:48,094 --> 00:08:50,774
adored that show and performance in it.

196
00:08:50,846 --> 00:08:53,526
So I really am excited to see that,

197
00:08:53,582 --> 00:08:56,310
especially coming off of the final season of

198
00:08:56,334 --> 00:08:58,662
Superman and Lois, which we always talked

199
00:08:58,790 --> 00:09:00,998
about Lois and that

200
00:09:01,038 --> 00:09:03,606
character. So to now go into

201
00:09:03,662 --> 00:09:06,304
the. The theatrical realm

202
00:09:06,416 --> 00:09:09,188
with that character in this relationship,

203
00:09:10,398 --> 00:09:13,190
I'm excited for all of that. And yes, James

204
00:09:13,254 --> 00:09:16,060
Gunn, he's really good.

205
00:09:16,164 --> 00:09:18,796
He has delivered some stuff, but

206
00:09:18,852 --> 00:09:21,580
he. He. He's not. I

207
00:09:21,604 --> 00:09:24,540
just. Everyone keep in mind, all filmmakers,

208
00:09:24,604 --> 00:09:27,388
like, look at their discography or

209
00:09:27,428 --> 00:09:30,052
their. Their. Their filmography because

210
00:09:30,140 --> 00:09:33,060
they're never without their duds. And

211
00:09:33,084 --> 00:09:36,004
I'm not saying that this will be one. I don't

212
00:09:36,036 --> 00:09:38,948
think it will. But what I am saying is the man

213
00:09:38,988 --> 00:09:41,848
doesn't walk on water. Okay.

214
00:09:43,068 --> 00:09:46,068
Even if he delivers here, it's not

215
00:09:46,108 --> 00:09:48,724
gonna, like just the

216
00:09:48,796 --> 00:09:51,684
Guardians of Galaxy. It's a good trilogy.

217
00:09:51,876 --> 00:09:54,740
I don't think it's the best trilogy out there by any

218
00:09:54,844 --> 00:09:57,308
means. I think that,

219
00:09:57,688 --> 00:10:00,600
like, there, especially the sequel is

220
00:10:00,624 --> 00:10:03,496
very controversial. Like, you find a lot of

221
00:10:03,552 --> 00:10:06,440
people, either you love it or you hate it. There's no in

222
00:10:06,464 --> 00:10:09,256
between. And. And for anyone who

223
00:10:09,312 --> 00:10:12,248
might be on the in between, they usually. They

224
00:10:12,288 --> 00:10:15,272
usually then even find more weirdness

225
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,548
with the third one. So it's,

226
00:10:18,518 --> 00:10:21,256
And. And I'm also also

227
00:10:21,312 --> 00:10:24,168
looking forward to Peacemaker, too, right now. So.

228
00:10:24,288 --> 00:10:27,048
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, it's come out. I think it's coming out later

229
00:10:27,168 --> 00:10:28,278
next year. Yeah.

230
00:10:28,924 --> 00:10:31,884
>> Sarah : yeah, yeah. Because. Because if. If he's

231
00:10:31,916 --> 00:10:34,556
able to, like, just sneak in a John

232
00:10:34,612 --> 00:10:37,308
Scene N headshot at some point in

233
00:10:37,348 --> 00:10:39,708
Superman, be

234
00:10:39,748 --> 00:10:40,668
hilarious.

235
00:10:40,828 --> 00:10:43,548
>> Will: That would be. That would be. I mean,

236
00:10:43,668 --> 00:10:45,128
I would have put it past him.

237
00:10:45,668 --> 00:10:47,868
>> Sarah : Like, I don't know, while they're rolling

238
00:10:47,948 --> 00:10:50,586
credits, just John Scene N coming

239
00:10:50,642 --> 00:10:53,546
over and him and corn sweat.

240
00:10:53,642 --> 00:10:56,458
Just like John Scene N teaching corn set. The

241
00:10:56,498 --> 00:10:59,118
Peacemaker opening dance sequence.

242
00:11:00,178 --> 00:11:01,818
That's what the people would want.

243
00:11:01,938 --> 00:11:03,466
>> Will: That's what. Yes. Yes.

244
00:11:03,562 --> 00:11:04,442
>> Sarah : Come on.

245
00:11:04,610 --> 00:11:07,578
>> Will: Yes. If that happens. If that

246
00:11:07,618 --> 00:11:10,426
happens. Wow. That would just

247
00:11:10,562 --> 00:11:12,970
make my movie go in year.

248
00:11:13,154 --> 00:11:15,962
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah. Or if there's an opening

249
00:11:16,010 --> 00:11:18,234
dance sequence in Superman.

250
00:11:18,426 --> 00:11:21,334
>> Will: Yeah, yeah. Don't think that's going to be the case, but it's

251
00:11:21,366 --> 00:11:23,758
very likely it's very likely to have that. That,

252
00:11:24,308 --> 00:11:26,968
Scene N showing up, showing Clark the,

253
00:11:27,318 --> 00:11:29,278
the moves there with Peacemaker.

254
00:11:31,698 --> 00:11:34,618
And it's within the realm of possibility because we know

255
00:11:34,658 --> 00:11:36,558
superheroes exist in this universe.

256
00:11:37,378 --> 00:11:40,042
>> Sarah : Okay, okay, like, slow your roll,

257
00:11:40,090 --> 00:11:43,082
because I think. Let's go back to

258
00:11:43,090 --> 00:11:46,074
this opening dance sequence. And, yeah, we're going to get to Dune

259
00:11:46,106 --> 00:11:49,012
prophecy, but we'll want to talk Superman. so here we are,

260
00:11:50,742 --> 00:11:53,282
Guardians of Galaxy One. Technically,

261
00:11:54,342 --> 00:11:56,562
the opening was a dance sequence.

262
00:11:57,142 --> 00:11:58,046
>> Will: It was.

263
00:11:58,214 --> 00:11:59,502
>> Sarah : It was. It was.

264
00:11:59,622 --> 00:12:00,238
>> Will: Yeah.

265
00:12:00,350 --> 00:12:03,326
>> Sarah : So that makes me think,

266
00:12:03,414 --> 00:12:05,950
actually, now that I. I look at it,

267
00:12:06,006 --> 00:12:07,962
more of his history,

268
00:12:08,902 --> 00:12:11,710
we might be getting a dance sequence. I don't know. I don't

269
00:12:11,726 --> 00:12:12,190
know.

270
00:12:12,326 --> 00:12:13,962
>> Will: Yeah, we might. We might.

271
00:12:14,902 --> 00:12:17,816
>> Sarah : I'm trying to remember if, Suicide Squad opened with a

272
00:12:17,824 --> 00:12:18,892
dance sequence,

273
00:12:20,942 --> 00:12:22,166
or the Suicide.

274
00:12:22,214 --> 00:12:24,966
>> Will: The Suicide Squad. Yeah. I don't think so. I think they just had the

275
00:12:24,974 --> 00:12:27,522
first. Spoiler alert. You haven't watched it?

276
00:12:27,902 --> 00:12:30,854
I think the first few minutes was just everybody, you know, they had to

277
00:12:30,878 --> 00:12:33,494
pull everybody together, and then they all got killed.

278
00:12:33,558 --> 00:12:34,202
Yeah.

279
00:12:34,622 --> 00:12:37,362
>> Sarah : Right. Well. Well, we'll see.

280
00:12:38,302 --> 00:12:40,774
>> Will: Yeah. You know, was very

281
00:12:40,798 --> 00:12:43,644
prominently, displayed in the. In the

282
00:12:43,668 --> 00:12:46,568
first few minutes of that film, too. So maybe

283
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,136
we'll get it here as well.

284
00:12:48,304 --> 00:12:51,144
>> Sarah : I don't know why, but, like, all

285
00:12:51,248 --> 00:12:53,656
I can think about when I think the Suicide

286
00:12:53,704 --> 00:12:56,584
Squad is, like, the giant starfish at the

287
00:12:56,608 --> 00:12:58,872
end and. And just the

288
00:12:58,912 --> 00:12:59,640
rat.

289
00:12:59,816 --> 00:13:02,612
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I do need to.

290
00:13:04,192 --> 00:13:04,568
Yeah.

291
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,424
>> Sarah : Weasel didn't know that movie.

292
00:13:06,568 --> 00:13:09,128
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, I do need to watch Creature

293
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,432
Comfort. Creature Commandos. I did it again.

294
00:13:11,552 --> 00:13:14,168
>> Sarah : Oh, my God. Will, the. Will

295
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,176
you just. You need to stop saying the title

296
00:13:17,224 --> 00:13:18,372
of that show.

297
00:13:18,672 --> 00:13:21,242
>> Will: That shirt is currently on right now, in the

298
00:13:21,282 --> 00:13:24,122
DC Studios universe. Yeah, that one

299
00:13:24,162 --> 00:13:27,034
command creature with the c. yeah, I need

300
00:13:27,058 --> 00:13:29,994
to watch that. I keep. Yeah, Yeah. I guess the other

301
00:13:30,018 --> 00:13:32,682
thing that's coming out, too, in. In January

302
00:13:32,802 --> 00:13:35,770
is the. I said the other thing that's coming out in January, too. That's part of the whole

303
00:13:35,786 --> 00:13:38,634
Nic park universe, is another Wallace and Gromit. So that's why I

304
00:13:38,658 --> 00:13:40,262
was, like, thinking that again.

305
00:13:41,082 --> 00:13:42,222
>> Sarah : Oh, my God.

306
00:13:42,222 --> 00:13:44,128
>> Will: we're off the rails. Give me back on track.

307
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,250
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah. Don't. Don't worry. yeah, while you

308
00:13:47,386 --> 00:13:50,354
go and handle these three creatures, we

309
00:13:50,378 --> 00:13:53,312
will also be watching what if. And,

310
00:13:53,262 --> 00:13:56,102
in 2025, we will break down our

311
00:13:56,142 --> 00:13:58,482
thoughts on the final season of what if.

312
00:13:59,182 --> 00:14:02,118
And. And, you know, you know, we'll. We'll figure

313
00:14:02,150 --> 00:14:04,934
out a way this. This time of the

314
00:14:04,958 --> 00:14:07,798
year. We are just wrapping things up

315
00:14:07,870 --> 00:14:10,810
and. And a new path Forward

316
00:14:10,946 --> 00:14:13,022
will be, set.

317
00:14:13,502 --> 00:14:16,198
but. All right, let's wrap up Doom

318
00:14:16,230 --> 00:14:16,726
prophecy.

319
00:14:16,774 --> 00:14:17,670
>> Will: Yeah, let's do that.

320
00:14:17,806 --> 00:14:20,646
>> Sarah : As mentioned earlier, there was a text

321
00:14:20,694 --> 00:14:23,462
message exchange that mainly consisted of

322
00:14:23,502 --> 00:14:25,782
me saying, well, I

323
00:14:25,822 --> 00:14:28,522
enjoyed the pilot episode

324
00:14:30,542 --> 00:14:33,350
of the show. Not

325
00:14:33,406 --> 00:14:36,198
that the final hour was the pilot episode, but more

326
00:14:36,270 --> 00:14:39,042
so that by the conclusion you can

327
00:14:39,082 --> 00:14:42,082
really. There's a sense of, oh, this

328
00:14:42,122 --> 00:14:44,962
is only the beginning. The

329
00:14:45,002 --> 00:14:47,890
pieces are now in place for the full story

330
00:14:47,946 --> 00:14:50,818
to be told. They just had to set

331
00:14:50,890 --> 00:14:53,302
a ton of groundwork.

332
00:14:53,802 --> 00:14:56,668
And that was like the first six

333
00:14:56,740 --> 00:14:59,436
episodes or these six episodes are really

334
00:14:59,524 --> 00:15:02,364
the entire pilot of the

335
00:15:02,388 --> 00:15:05,340
show itself self. And and,

336
00:15:05,396 --> 00:15:07,592
and I, and I like it. I, I really.

337
00:15:08,052 --> 00:15:10,700
The word I would just. I am

338
00:15:10,756 --> 00:15:13,532
constantly going to be using when I'm talking about the show

339
00:15:13,572 --> 00:15:16,220
is consistent. They are very

340
00:15:16,276 --> 00:15:18,812
consistent. I'm neither blown away by

341
00:15:18,852 --> 00:15:21,644
anything, but I'm not underwhelmed

342
00:15:21,708 --> 00:15:23,962
either. I'm not like, and.

343
00:15:24,342 --> 00:15:27,262
And I'm just. They. They got a lot of good

344
00:15:27,302 --> 00:15:29,742
mechanics. I still though

345
00:15:31,082 --> 00:15:33,874
the one thing that I'm still just

346
00:15:33,978 --> 00:15:36,770
like, I don't know how to

347
00:15:36,826 --> 00:15:39,538
feel is I

348
00:15:39,610 --> 00:15:42,322
don't know. I don't find myself

349
00:15:42,402 --> 00:15:44,914
necessarily rooting for anyone. The

350
00:15:45,018 --> 00:15:47,622
closest person I'm rooting for is Tula.

351
00:15:48,972 --> 00:15:51,908
but everyone else, I'm just like, I

352
00:15:51,980 --> 00:15:54,692
don't really know because either they didn't go

353
00:15:54,732 --> 00:15:57,398
into the backstory, like we didn't spend

354
00:15:57,430 --> 00:15:59,734
enough time with Dorada

355
00:15:59,878 --> 00:16:02,614
to, to really understand

356
00:16:02,718 --> 00:16:05,462
her plea. And I think that they did that

357
00:16:05,502 --> 00:16:08,312
purposeful because she really is a villain, and a

358
00:16:08,352 --> 00:16:11,192
nemesis for Viola.

359
00:16:11,352 --> 00:16:14,248
But we also don't really like Viola

360
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,856
either because she's, she's

361
00:16:16,904 --> 00:16:19,720
just, she's very Viola about things

362
00:16:19,776 --> 00:16:22,774
and it's annoying. and, and then you

363
00:16:22,798 --> 00:16:25,734
got the whole Inez and Kieran situation

364
00:16:25,798 --> 00:16:28,000
of it all. but before we get into

365
00:16:28,072 --> 00:16:30,924
Will's, thoughts, I just want to go through the

366
00:16:30,964 --> 00:16:33,740
IMDb summary real quick for

367
00:16:33,812 --> 00:16:36,276
episode six. The higher handed

368
00:16:36,398 --> 00:16:38,784
enemy. IMDb

369
00:16:39,524 --> 00:16:42,134
summarizes, this episode. As

370
00:16:42,254 --> 00:16:44,726
Tula contends with the stunning reveal of

371
00:16:44,750 --> 00:16:47,330
Desmond's true identity, the acolytes under

372
00:16:47,502 --> 00:16:50,346
uncover a devastating long held secret about the

373
00:16:50,370 --> 00:16:53,322
sisterhood. Meanwhile, Violet executes her plan

374
00:16:53,378 --> 00:16:56,138
for Inez's escape, which leads to an epic

375
00:16:56,186 --> 00:16:58,094
confrontation with an increasing,

376
00:16:58,594 --> 00:17:01,134
increasingly powerful Desmond.

377
00:17:03,314 --> 00:17:04,974
Will, what are your thoughts?

378
00:17:05,474 --> 00:17:08,304
>> Will: Very similar to yours. that I did feel like this.

379
00:17:08,344 --> 00:17:11,136
The pilot. Well, the

380
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,000
episode one, episode six were truly bookends

381
00:17:14,032 --> 00:17:16,986
of each other in the sense that we, you know,

382
00:17:17,010 --> 00:17:19,866
we. We get the story of what

383
00:17:19,890 --> 00:17:22,394
happened that night when ah,

384
00:17:22,394 --> 00:17:25,024
Viola uses the voice

385
00:17:25,104 --> 00:17:27,374
on Doretta to, to,

386
00:17:28,834 --> 00:17:31,706
have her kill herself. And then we. But we see it from

387
00:17:31,730 --> 00:17:34,730
Tula's perspective, so. Because, you know, whenever we first. Whenever

388
00:17:34,762 --> 00:17:37,674
we saw an episode one, you know, we didn't really

389
00:17:37,714 --> 00:17:40,506
have any idea if there were any witnesses to it or

390
00:17:40,530 --> 00:17:43,434
not. I can. Yeah. And I can't remember if we speculated about whether

391
00:17:43,474 --> 00:17:45,990
or not there were any. But.

392
00:17:46,162 --> 00:17:49,000
But, But, yeah, but we. But we, you know, we did

393
00:17:49,072 --> 00:17:51,480
get Tula's perspective as well as the other

394
00:17:51,552 --> 00:17:54,254
two sisters, as part of their little

395
00:17:54,294 --> 00:17:57,214
group. And so I thought that, you know,

396
00:17:57,254 --> 00:17:58,314
so to get.

397
00:17:59,654 --> 00:18:02,526
>> Sarah : Sorry, I just want to point out who were also.

398
00:18:02,710 --> 00:18:05,486
They. That was Kasha and Francesca.

399
00:18:05,550 --> 00:18:05,822
Right?

400
00:18:05,878 --> 00:18:07,310
>> Will: That's right. Right.

401
00:18:07,382 --> 00:18:10,318
>> Sarah : Yeah. Which is very important because I didn't

402
00:18:10,366 --> 00:18:13,102
even think about that and why those two

403
00:18:13,158 --> 00:18:15,960
sisters, were

404
00:18:16,032 --> 00:18:18,744
so key in terms of the events of this

405
00:18:18,784 --> 00:18:19,364
season.

406
00:18:19,664 --> 00:18:22,584
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, because. Yeah, because as we later get into

407
00:18:22,624 --> 00:18:25,204
the episode, we, you know, we. We get the,

408
00:18:25,414 --> 00:18:28,344
confirmation about the imprinting, Francesca with,

409
00:18:28,344 --> 00:18:31,248
Habakko. And of course. And

410
00:18:31,288 --> 00:18:33,616
again, there were just. Just the whole plan

411
00:18:33,752 --> 00:18:36,428
and. And. And really just

412
00:18:37,288 --> 00:18:40,166
really set, set up a lot in the. In

413
00:18:40,174 --> 00:18:43,094
the opening minutes, actually, when I first started watching, and I was just like,

414
00:18:43,118 --> 00:18:46,002
am I. Did I make mis. Did I, like, fast forward

415
00:18:46,042 --> 00:18:48,914
by mistake to. To another thing? But then I realized I was like, oh, no, this

416
00:18:48,938 --> 00:18:51,874
is. This is getting other. Other folks perspectives. And I thought

417
00:18:51,898 --> 00:18:54,770
that was a very solid way to start the episode, to just sort

418
00:18:54,786 --> 00:18:57,778
of, again, given that this was the finale

419
00:18:57,890 --> 00:19:00,754
and it. And it truly was a finale. I mean,

420
00:19:00,778 --> 00:19:03,744
it had, It

421
00:19:03,768 --> 00:19:06,688
definitely, like, ended a lot of many.

422
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,664
Many of the pieces that were set up throughout this

423
00:19:09,768 --> 00:19:12,334
season, but also by either

424
00:19:12,398 --> 00:19:15,358
design or. Or by just running

425
00:19:15,390 --> 00:19:17,922
out of time, let

426
00:19:19,102 --> 00:19:22,012
things, on the table for. To be explored in a future

427
00:19:22,052 --> 00:19:24,924
season, which we did get confirmation this week. Just before we get

428
00:19:24,948 --> 00:19:27,910
deeper into our discussion here, that the show was renewed

429
00:19:27,926 --> 00:19:30,774
for a second season. So thankfully, we didn't get a

430
00:19:30,798 --> 00:19:33,510
situation where we. We get an ending where they're

431
00:19:33,526 --> 00:19:36,134
on that we got. And then we were like, okay, what

432
00:19:36,158 --> 00:19:38,776
happens? Because, you know, because like you said, I

433
00:19:38,784 --> 00:19:41,624
mean, this show was very consistent and. And it

434
00:19:41,648 --> 00:19:44,472
reached a point as. As the more I watched it, the more.

435
00:19:44,592 --> 00:19:47,336
The more I appreciated what they were doing. I

436
00:19:47,344 --> 00:19:49,982
mean, and you're right, there were

437
00:19:50,022 --> 00:19:52,766
certain. I mean, there were consistency

438
00:19:52,814 --> 00:19:55,582
about how they were going about this story there. And then they were like,

439
00:19:55,622 --> 00:19:58,382
multiple what the moments throughout this

440
00:19:58,422 --> 00:20:00,638
episode, you know, since it was a season

441
00:20:00,710 --> 00:20:01,522
finale.

442
00:20:03,922 --> 00:20:06,842
>> Sarah : Yeah. So, like, let's Just stick on the

443
00:20:06,882 --> 00:20:09,754
flashbacks because. So.

444
00:20:09,938 --> 00:20:12,842
Because they. They run these throughout, not just

445
00:20:12,882 --> 00:20:15,402
the opening sequence, but throughout the episode.

446
00:20:15,482 --> 00:20:18,282
And. And I did notice the editing

447
00:20:18,362 --> 00:20:21,242
tricks that they used were very good. Very

448
00:20:21,282 --> 00:20:24,276
good. And they tell, arguably two different

449
00:20:24,364 --> 00:20:27,172
sets of flashbacks

450
00:20:27,252 --> 00:20:29,998
that are kind of throughout the

451
00:20:30,070 --> 00:20:32,702
same. They are throughout the same timeline

452
00:20:32,782 --> 00:20:35,470
because not only did we not

453
00:20:35,526 --> 00:20:37,482
realize that,

454
00:20:37,492 --> 00:20:40,212
Tula watched her sister

455
00:20:40,292 --> 00:20:42,500
commit this act of murder,

456
00:20:42,596 --> 00:20:45,172
essentially, but she also

457
00:20:45,292 --> 00:20:48,068
then very quickly admitted that

458
00:20:48,140 --> 00:20:50,820
she was pregnant with. With a

459
00:20:50,876 --> 00:20:53,124
part Atreides. And

460
00:20:53,228 --> 00:20:56,212
surprisingly, in that moment when you think

461
00:20:56,252 --> 00:20:59,244
you understand Viola, she says, oh, we

462
00:20:59,268 --> 00:21:01,872
can raise it together. Yeah.

463
00:21:03,572 --> 00:21:05,472
>> Will: Yeah. I was like, oh, okay.

464
00:21:07,892 --> 00:21:10,152
>> Sarah : I don't know how to feel about that.

465
00:21:10,932 --> 00:21:13,874
And then fast forward. Tula, did not know how to

466
00:21:13,898 --> 00:21:16,610
feel about that either. She's like,

467
00:21:16,746 --> 00:21:19,570
nope, not gonna let my sister near this

468
00:21:19,626 --> 00:21:22,466
kid. And

469
00:21:22,634 --> 00:21:25,406
it's a very heartbreaking scene

470
00:21:25,554 --> 00:21:28,322
to watch Tula hold her child.

471
00:21:28,862 --> 00:21:31,694
And then for, Was it Kasha or

472
00:21:31,718 --> 00:21:34,366
was it Francesca? I think it was Francesca who

473
00:21:34,374 --> 00:21:37,294
comes and says, okay, we

474
00:21:37,318 --> 00:21:40,222
have the stillborn M. And then the

475
00:21:40,262 --> 00:21:43,214
exchange. Because. And.

476
00:21:43,318 --> 00:21:45,562
And you're just. You're like.

477
00:21:46,182 --> 00:21:48,878
It just reminds me about

478
00:21:49,030 --> 00:21:51,742
all the times throughout this. The show

479
00:21:52,522 --> 00:21:55,022
when there are

480
00:21:55,802 --> 00:21:58,744
moments, of between Tula and

481
00:21:58,768 --> 00:22:01,448
the other sisters of, like, about

482
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,812
sacrifice and,

483
00:22:04,052 --> 00:22:06,940
giving things up. And.

484
00:22:07,076 --> 00:22:09,452
And it's. She gave it

485
00:22:09,492 --> 00:22:12,332
up because she couldn't

486
00:22:12,412 --> 00:22:14,876
let. And I thought it was a very

487
00:22:15,044 --> 00:22:17,274
well done, monologue that

488
00:22:17,378 --> 00:22:19,702
Tula delivers about

489
00:22:20,162 --> 00:22:22,890
how she wanted to

490
00:22:22,946 --> 00:22:24,954
gift her son freedom.

491
00:22:25,098 --> 00:22:25,610
>> Will: Yeah.

492
00:22:25,706 --> 00:22:28,682
>> Sarah : And the only way to do that would be

493
00:22:28,722 --> 00:22:31,594
by giving him up. Unfortunately,

494
00:22:31,738 --> 00:22:34,602
simultaneously in present day, she is trying

495
00:22:34,642 --> 00:22:37,450
to reconcile with the fact that why

496
00:22:37,506 --> 00:22:39,610
giving him freedom, she

497
00:22:39,666 --> 00:22:42,560
allowed a bigger enemy

498
00:22:42,656 --> 00:22:44,992
to obtain him and

499
00:22:45,112 --> 00:22:47,808
manipulate and reconfigure him

500
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:49,572
into this weapon.

501
00:22:50,232 --> 00:22:52,612
And it's just. Oh,

502
00:22:53,132 --> 00:22:56,052
I was like, wow. Wow, that's. That's

503
00:22:56,132 --> 00:22:58,308
pretty. Pretty intense.

504
00:22:58,500 --> 00:22:58,916
>> Will: Yeah.

505
00:22:58,964 --> 00:23:01,396
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah, yeah.

506
00:23:01,444 --> 00:23:04,260
>> Will: That. That scene was pretty intense and. And

507
00:23:04,316 --> 00:23:07,076
very powerful moment. I mean, I think the. You know,

508
00:23:07,164 --> 00:23:09,524
they did a solid job of getting.

509
00:23:09,708 --> 00:23:12,304
Casting the younger actress to play

510
00:23:12,328 --> 00:23:15,104
these Tula and. And Viola,

511
00:23:15,248 --> 00:23:17,520
and. And. And it really just

512
00:23:17,576 --> 00:23:20,528
frames why Tula,

513
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,552
when she's older, why she was so. Like you said, you know, why

514
00:23:23,592 --> 00:23:26,176
she had, you know, these maternal

515
00:23:26,224 --> 00:23:29,120
feelings as far as protection with Lila. so, I mean, it

516
00:23:29,128 --> 00:23:32,080
did, you know, so, yeah. So, like. Yeah, so

517
00:23:32,248 --> 00:23:35,056
it. It really. I think for me, it was just

518
00:23:35,096 --> 00:23:38,076
like watching that,

519
00:23:38,366 --> 00:23:40,972
it just. It just contextualizes so much

520
00:23:41,044 --> 00:23:43,900
about what was going on this season. So, yes,

521
00:23:43,948 --> 00:23:46,588
there were some places where they could have gone a little bit deeper,

522
00:23:46,732 --> 00:23:48,856
but at the same time they had enough

523
00:23:49,156 --> 00:23:51,964
depth as far as things as. As the season went

524
00:23:52,020 --> 00:23:54,988
through that whenever we got these moments here in the finale, it's just like,

525
00:23:55,012 --> 00:23:57,516
okay, yeah, that. That makes total sense now.

526
00:23:57,636 --> 00:24:00,124
Why. Why decisions and

527
00:24:00,260 --> 00:24:03,036
motivations and actions were. Were made by

528
00:24:03,076 --> 00:24:05,396
these characters in the prior five

529
00:24:05,436 --> 00:24:06,244
episodes.

530
00:24:06,420 --> 00:24:08,906
>> Sarah : Oh, I think. I think with Tula,

531
00:24:09,726 --> 00:24:12,566
they went the deepest, arguably with

532
00:24:12,606 --> 00:24:15,222
her character, for sure. I think

533
00:24:15,374 --> 00:24:18,086
that. So we have

534
00:24:18,126 --> 00:24:21,078
Tula in the present. And one of

535
00:24:21,102 --> 00:24:23,844
the best, scenes in this episode for me is

536
00:24:23,900 --> 00:24:26,548
when they

537
00:24:26,572 --> 00:24:29,516
realize what they have to do, in terms of

538
00:24:29,556 --> 00:24:32,416
trying to figure out and understand this virus.

539
00:24:32,916 --> 00:24:35,176
And I just. There was something

540
00:24:35,476 --> 00:24:38,172
so cool

541
00:24:38,364 --> 00:24:41,052
about how they

542
00:24:41,124 --> 00:24:42,616
managed to,

543
00:24:44,796 --> 00:24:47,444
Because we've seen now this virus attack

544
00:24:47,580 --> 00:24:50,382
in a few different ways. but we've

545
00:24:50,414 --> 00:24:53,086
never seen it in this way where they had the

546
00:24:53,126 --> 00:24:55,834
DNA and the particles via

547
00:24:55,930 --> 00:24:58,634
screen and then you're watching

548
00:24:58,730 --> 00:25:01,720
the currents and, the whole sequence. I

549
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,584
just. I was riveted by. For some reason,

550
00:25:04,672 --> 00:25:07,528
I was like, they're not doing that

551
00:25:07,584 --> 00:25:10,408
much. But. But for some reason, between the

552
00:25:10,464 --> 00:25:13,240
acting and the visuals,

553
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,216
you. You really do. You're like them

554
00:25:16,288 --> 00:25:19,208
and you understand what this is

555
00:25:19,264 --> 00:25:22,148
doing. When we say it feeds off

556
00:25:22,204 --> 00:25:24,676
fear. And then you see it

557
00:25:24,748 --> 00:25:27,732
more personified at the

558
00:25:27,756 --> 00:25:30,692
end with. With Viola. So. And I think. And I think they

559
00:25:30,716 --> 00:25:33,140
did that purposely because I don't think you would

560
00:25:33,180 --> 00:25:35,440
understand as much

561
00:25:36,220 --> 00:25:38,868
as when you go through the experience with

562
00:25:38,924 --> 00:25:41,540
Thyla then without

563
00:25:41,660 --> 00:25:44,372
understanding the science behind it or

564
00:25:44,396 --> 00:25:46,558
the mythology behind it.

565
00:25:46,644 --> 00:25:49,578
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, exactly. I mean, that. That was thinking that total

566
00:25:49,634 --> 00:25:52,602
thing whenever. Yeah, again, they did. As you said,

567
00:25:52,626 --> 00:25:55,562
they're very consistent and they were. The way they structured

568
00:25:55,626 --> 00:25:58,362
these things, they do build on each

569
00:25:58,386 --> 00:25:59,242
other, so.

570
00:25:59,346 --> 00:25:59,658
>> Sarah : Right.

571
00:25:59,714 --> 00:26:02,394
>> Will: So, yeah, so, you know, so, yes, the show didn't have a lot

572
00:26:02,402 --> 00:26:05,194
of. It was very talky. You know, there were some

573
00:26:05,202 --> 00:26:07,770
pacing issues at times. But at the end of the

574
00:26:07,810 --> 00:26:10,800
day, to your point, whenever they have

575
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,600
these set pieces like they did in this episode,

576
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,496
the payoff was. Was clearly there with. With Viola.

577
00:26:16,528 --> 00:26:19,022
Especially when, we saw the external

578
00:26:19,086 --> 00:26:22,066
manifestation of the, The, I think it was the Omnicron

579
00:26:22,146 --> 00:26:25,032
virus. but. Omnibus virus

580
00:26:25,064 --> 00:26:27,716
or whatever it's called. But yeah, whatever, you know.

581
00:26:29,376 --> 00:26:30,072
>> Sarah : Well.

582
00:26:30,224 --> 00:26:33,160
>> Will: Well, yeah, well, you know, whenever. Well, the

583
00:26:33,168 --> 00:26:36,088
middle of the episode when Tula and the other sister

584
00:26:36,152 --> 00:26:37,832
was. Were. Were.

585
00:26:37,904 --> 00:26:40,040
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah. It wasn't Lila who was with.

586
00:26:40,128 --> 00:26:41,756
>> Will: No. Viola.

587
00:26:42,426 --> 00:26:45,234
>> Sarah : Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I wanna.

588
00:26:45,330 --> 00:26:48,204
I just. I just wanna, go

589
00:26:48,260 --> 00:26:50,924
through the. The acolyte

590
00:26:51,020 --> 00:26:53,724
situation because I found it

591
00:26:53,780 --> 00:26:56,696
funny. Like, we know why Tula left,

592
00:26:57,076 --> 00:26:59,804
but I. I Think. I think it was very

593
00:26:59,860 --> 00:27:01,976
important for it to be,

594
00:27:02,276 --> 00:27:05,068
like, building up to this

595
00:27:05,092 --> 00:27:08,064
point of, clearly, the acolytes are.

596
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,992
Are riling up. They're

597
00:27:11,024 --> 00:27:13,888
about to start a rebellion. And Tula

598
00:27:13,952 --> 00:27:16,796
is just. Is just in her own world,

599
00:27:17,096 --> 00:27:19,716
realizes her son is alive

600
00:27:20,136 --> 00:27:23,008
being used against her and her sister

601
00:27:23,152 --> 00:27:25,696
and all of this stuff and all of this

602
00:27:25,736 --> 00:27:27,826
guilt and, it just

603
00:27:28,366 --> 00:27:31,142
that whole. The whole line. Sisterhood above

604
00:27:31,174 --> 00:27:34,144
all. Well. Well,

605
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,832
Viola, in the past, we do see a scene where it's

606
00:27:36,864 --> 00:27:38,096
sisters above all.

607
00:27:38,216 --> 00:27:38,976
>> Will: Yep.

608
00:27:39,136 --> 00:27:41,552
>> Sarah : And I think in this episode, it's very

609
00:27:41,624 --> 00:27:44,560
clear for Tula, it's motherhood above

610
00:27:44,608 --> 00:27:47,456
all. And. And so

611
00:27:47,496 --> 00:27:50,336
she. She abandons her flock. And

612
00:27:50,376 --> 00:27:53,280
that's when Doretta just goes full.

613
00:27:53,448 --> 00:27:56,352
Like. Is like, okay, Raquela, you can step

614
00:27:56,424 --> 00:27:58,408
aside. Let me fully,

615
00:27:58,592 --> 00:28:01,306
fully, come to life and rile my

616
00:28:01,346 --> 00:28:03,914
troops. The one thing that I

617
00:28:03,970 --> 00:28:06,938
still. I hope they. I

618
00:28:06,962 --> 00:28:09,286
hope they flesh out and make clear

619
00:28:09,826 --> 00:28:12,526
in. In the next season is Sister Jen.

620
00:28:13,266 --> 00:28:16,058
The only. The only sister that

621
00:28:16,082 --> 00:28:18,538
we're aware of who has not been affected by the

622
00:28:18,562 --> 00:28:21,526
virus. M. We don't know why.

623
00:28:22,226 --> 00:28:24,326
And. And for some reason,

624
00:28:25,496 --> 00:28:27,872
Doretta allows her to live.

625
00:28:28,024 --> 00:28:29,248
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah.

626
00:28:29,392 --> 00:28:32,290
>> Sarah : Like. Like, yeah. she's. She's clearly

627
00:28:32,418 --> 00:28:35,410
not on Team Doretta. I don't think she's

628
00:28:35,458 --> 00:28:38,086
necessarily on Team Violet either,

629
00:28:38,426 --> 00:28:41,202
but she's definitely, like, my

630
00:28:41,274 --> 00:28:43,986
friend is still in there and being

631
00:28:44,106 --> 00:28:47,074
like, her body is being used against

632
00:28:47,130 --> 00:28:50,122
her own free will. So I think she's more like, set

633
00:28:50,234 --> 00:28:52,154
Lila free. This is it.

634
00:28:52,210 --> 00:28:55,162
>> Will: Yeah. And maybe. And maybe Lila is the one that's

635
00:28:55,194 --> 00:28:57,642
keeping her. Keeping either

636
00:28:57,674 --> 00:29:00,426
Raquela or Doretta from. From

637
00:29:00,466 --> 00:29:03,322
killing her. Because whenever, whatever. Because, you know, that was.

638
00:29:03,394 --> 00:29:06,394
I mean, that was one of those pieces where I was just like, oh, gosh, they're

639
00:29:06,410 --> 00:29:09,386
going to, You know, it was. It was telegraphed.

640
00:29:10,766 --> 00:29:13,306
>> Sarah : Yeah. Well, I didn't realize.

641
00:29:13,726 --> 00:29:16,534
Well, it goes back to this thing. I did not

642
00:29:16,590 --> 00:29:19,326
realize. I knew that

643
00:29:19,366 --> 00:29:20,958
Doretta had followers.

644
00:29:21,102 --> 00:29:21,550
>> Will: Yeah.

645
00:29:21,598 --> 00:29:24,106
>> Sarah : But I didn't. I didn't understand

646
00:29:24,566 --> 00:29:27,518
exactly or question where did the followers

647
00:29:27,582 --> 00:29:30,318
go? M. And then when it was

648
00:29:30,342 --> 00:29:32,926
also revealed, it was at the bottom of that.

649
00:29:33,046 --> 00:29:35,806
That. Well, I was like, oh, that's why they

650
00:29:35,846 --> 00:29:37,946
keep looking over here.

651
00:29:39,446 --> 00:29:42,398
I was like, is there a monster in there? I

652
00:29:42,422 --> 00:29:44,346
don't. I don't understand. But no.

653
00:29:44,756 --> 00:29:47,692
Dororotta reveals all of the skeletons.

654
00:29:47,804 --> 00:29:49,856
>> Will: That's where the bodies really are buried.

655
00:29:50,196 --> 00:29:53,116
>> Sarah : I was. I was also like, okay, they're not

656
00:29:53,156 --> 00:29:56,046
that old. they're already in

657
00:29:56,086 --> 00:29:59,086
skeleton forms. Like, that's it. That's. I don't think

658
00:29:59,126 --> 00:30:01,026
that, but whatever.

659
00:30:01,686 --> 00:30:03,022
>> Will: I mean, that's long enough.

660
00:30:03,174 --> 00:30:06,174
>> Sarah : Yeah. Okay. Okay. I don't know much. I don't

661
00:30:06,190 --> 00:30:09,022
know much about decomposing bodies, so.

662
00:30:09,094 --> 00:30:11,946
So if you tell me. Okay, so that

663
00:30:11,986 --> 00:30:14,868
all made sense. I just wish I

664
00:30:14,892 --> 00:30:16,736
would have understood more,

665
00:30:17,586 --> 00:30:20,410
about the gen of it all, because she

666
00:30:20,498 --> 00:30:22,086
a not

667
00:30:23,586 --> 00:30:25,246
affected by the virus.

668
00:30:26,496 --> 00:30:29,448
and there has to be a reason for that. And we

669
00:30:29,472 --> 00:30:32,196
learn more about the virus because we learned that

670
00:30:32,656 --> 00:30:35,436
it's essentially nano

671
00:30:36,106 --> 00:30:38,114
thinking machines. Right.

672
00:30:38,250 --> 00:30:38,834
>> Will: Yep.

673
00:30:38,930 --> 00:30:41,874
>> Sarah : Okay, so I'm just gonna. I'm just gonna

674
00:30:41,890 --> 00:30:44,738
throw this out there because towards the end of

675
00:30:44,762 --> 00:30:47,666
this episode that we're not at, because

676
00:30:47,706 --> 00:30:50,642
it's also a heck of a long episode,

677
00:30:50,834 --> 00:30:53,016
but, there's a nephew

678
00:30:53,676 --> 00:30:56,484
who returns home, and

679
00:30:56,620 --> 00:30:59,332
I've seen enough episodes of Flash to understand

680
00:30:59,404 --> 00:31:02,106
what nano means, nanotechnology means.

681
00:31:02,276 --> 00:31:05,102
And he. He, like, gathers all of these

682
00:31:05,174 --> 00:31:08,142
nanobots in his. In his house and then

683
00:31:08,214 --> 00:31:10,782
watches, like, surveillance footage of his

684
00:31:10,854 --> 00:31:11,438
aunt.

685
00:31:11,582 --> 00:31:12,386
>> Will: Yep.

686
00:31:13,186 --> 00:31:15,796
>> Sarah : to me, that's a hint that the

687
00:31:15,836 --> 00:31:18,576
Harkonnens are behind this technology.

688
00:31:20,556 --> 00:31:23,460
>> Will: That's. That's a very strong possibility. I

689
00:31:23,468 --> 00:31:25,780
mean, they, they definitely plan. There's

690
00:31:25,908 --> 00:31:28,434
two, There's nothing that they put in a show that

691
00:31:28,490 --> 00:31:31,452
doesn't have a meaning about. For,

692
00:31:31,524 --> 00:31:32,856
for the larger story.

693
00:31:33,716 --> 00:31:36,716
>> Sarah : Right. Especially because it's the

694
00:31:36,756 --> 00:31:39,564
final episode. We, We. I.

695
00:31:39,700 --> 00:31:42,668
I don't. Did we see him in last week? Yeah, we saw

696
00:31:42,692 --> 00:31:42,972
him.

697
00:31:43,044 --> 00:31:45,366
>> Will: Yeah. We saw him briefly with Desmond at the very beginning. Yeah.

698
00:31:45,366 --> 00:31:48,266
>> Sarah : but haven't really seen him. And then they

699
00:31:48,306 --> 00:31:51,226
just show one random, random

700
00:31:51,306 --> 00:31:54,234
scene with him that, arguably, to save on time,

701
00:31:54,290 --> 00:31:57,190
they could have cut unless it had a purpose.

702
00:31:57,318 --> 00:31:57,750
>> Will: Right.

703
00:31:57,838 --> 00:32:00,374
>> Sarah : And so I, I

704
00:32:00,430 --> 00:32:03,142
think that they're either alluding that

705
00:32:03,214 --> 00:32:06,102
he's behind it or he's

706
00:32:06,134 --> 00:32:08,566
in cahoots with someone because the

707
00:32:08,606 --> 00:32:11,174
Harkonnens don't fall too far from the tree. Come on.

708
00:32:11,230 --> 00:32:14,166
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think he. He definitely is an

709
00:32:14,206 --> 00:32:17,142
agent for whoever's behind this. I don't think he doesn't strike

710
00:32:17,174 --> 00:32:20,166
me as a type that would be smart enough to, like,

711
00:32:20,206 --> 00:32:23,024
come up with this on his own, but he, but he definitely be.

712
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,858
Can be the. Be, the foot soldier for

713
00:32:25,914 --> 00:32:27,026
who did.

714
00:32:27,178 --> 00:32:29,874
>> Sarah : Yeah, he. He's a havoco. Okay. He's

715
00:32:29,922 --> 00:32:32,710
havoco. Which havoco? Arguably,

716
00:32:33,690 --> 00:32:36,306
like, one of my least favorite characters.

717
00:32:36,498 --> 00:32:39,058
However he delivers, he. He

718
00:32:39,114 --> 00:32:41,390
delivers one hell of a line

719
00:32:41,850 --> 00:32:43,314
and then kills himself.

720
00:32:43,442 --> 00:32:45,202
>> Will: Yeah. The one time he finally grew a.

721
00:32:45,226 --> 00:32:48,018
>> Sarah : Backbone, I had the same thought. I was like,

722
00:32:48,074 --> 00:32:50,722
you're finally seeing the world.

723
00:32:50,826 --> 00:32:53,060
Because he says, like,

724
00:32:53,990 --> 00:32:56,958
it's a strange thing when you realize you

725
00:32:57,014 --> 00:32:59,490
never learned one moment of freedom

726
00:32:59,830 --> 00:33:02,670
and then just kills himself. And you think.

727
00:33:02,710 --> 00:33:04,766
I was like. I was like, wow.

728
00:33:04,958 --> 00:33:05,422
>> Will: Yeah.

729
00:33:05,486 --> 00:33:07,770
>> Sarah : I was like, wow. And then only for

730
00:33:08,070 --> 00:33:10,250
Francesca to bend down

731
00:33:11,590 --> 00:33:14,542
and for Natalie to just

732
00:33:14,726 --> 00:33:17,006
casually walk in and slip.

733
00:33:17,118 --> 00:33:20,062
>> Will: Yeah. Natalia gets the poison pen and just sticks it

734
00:33:20,086 --> 00:33:20,810
in her.

735
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,416
>> Sarah : And then. And then does this. And like, it's

736
00:33:25,448 --> 00:33:28,040
a. I feel as though it

737
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,994
was, very symbolic and paid a little bit of

738
00:33:31,002 --> 00:33:33,730
an homage to Romeo and Juliet for some

739
00:33:33,770 --> 00:33:36,466
reason. Not. Not to say that I fully

740
00:33:36,498 --> 00:33:39,202
understand the imprinting and their love

741
00:33:39,226 --> 00:33:41,970
affair or anything, but I felt like the

742
00:33:42,010 --> 00:33:45,010
way they played it out, it felt like a very

743
00:33:45,130 --> 00:33:47,765
tragic moment between these two people

744
00:33:47,917 --> 00:33:50,709
because I could. I could tell, like

745
00:33:50,749 --> 00:33:53,603
imprinting or not, Francesca, did seem to have true

746
00:33:53,651 --> 00:33:54,291
feelings.

747
00:33:54,435 --> 00:33:55,667
>> Will: She did. She did.

748
00:33:55,723 --> 00:33:58,035
>> Sarah : But sisterhood above all. So.

749
00:33:58,187 --> 00:34:00,995
So what the sister to do? And.

750
00:34:01,067 --> 00:34:03,810
And I just. I just. Empress,

751
00:34:04,175 --> 00:34:06,639
Natalia, throughout the entire

752
00:34:06,719 --> 00:34:09,631
season, I've always been like. I've been like, what

753
00:34:09,655 --> 00:34:12,586
is your game? And.

754
00:34:12,658 --> 00:34:14,550
And they. They did not,

755
00:34:15,900 --> 00:34:18,678
They did not misuse her. they didn't make her

756
00:34:18,734 --> 00:34:21,734
feel seem stupid or anything. They.

757
00:34:21,822 --> 00:34:24,530
I think they did a very interesting job

758
00:34:24,910 --> 00:34:27,854
of, of taking these characters

759
00:34:27,902 --> 00:34:30,638
and putting them into a stereotype.

760
00:34:30,814 --> 00:34:33,486
And then for us to watch how.

761
00:34:33,638 --> 00:34:36,210
Okay, we told you that this character

762
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,576
is the empress and knows her husband

763
00:34:39,608 --> 00:34:40,980
is cheating on her.

764
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,240
Okay, well, we did

765
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,200
not tell you that she is not

766
00:34:48,240 --> 00:34:50,792
going down without a fight and she's going to go and hook up with

767
00:34:50,816 --> 00:34:51,740
Desmond

768
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,312
person on her side. And

769
00:34:56,416 --> 00:34:59,208
that scene where she puts Havoco in his

770
00:34:59,264 --> 00:35:01,768
place. I mean, will. We should have seen

771
00:35:01,824 --> 00:35:04,378
Havoco killing himself. coming.

772
00:35:04,514 --> 00:35:05,630
Considering.

773
00:35:06,850 --> 00:35:09,706
Considering he. He. His daughter

774
00:35:09,818 --> 00:35:12,474
ends up in jail. He. He

775
00:35:12,562 --> 00:35:15,018
begs for mercy with

776
00:35:15,074 --> 00:35:17,482
Viola, only for Viola

777
00:35:17,626 --> 00:35:20,570
to. To just. Just be like, oh, you're such

778
00:35:20,610 --> 00:35:23,594
a fool. I don't need you. You.

779
00:35:23,682 --> 00:35:26,666
You may need me in this instance, but, dude, I don't need you.

780
00:35:26,738 --> 00:35:29,178
And, oh, yeah, nothing you do right

781
00:35:29,234 --> 00:35:31,824
now is of your own free will.

782
00:35:31,992 --> 00:35:33,220
So goodbye.

783
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,542
>> Will: Yeah, speaking of it, before we move from that point, as far as the free

784
00:35:36,566 --> 00:35:39,422
will, I. I did like. I

785
00:35:39,446 --> 00:35:42,030
did like how they really played into the

786
00:35:42,070 --> 00:35:44,942
whole. I guess. And I guess later to

787
00:35:44,966 --> 00:35:47,870
Ben and Gessera get into this with our manufacturer, Will Polk

788
00:35:47,950 --> 00:35:50,812
Atreides. But, you know, the bigger, You know,

789
00:35:50,836 --> 00:35:53,532
they were showing those early seeds of how the. The

790
00:35:53,556 --> 00:35:56,262
sisterhood with, you know, with

791
00:35:56,286 --> 00:35:59,192
Desmond's lineage, as far as, you know, figuring out that

792
00:35:59,216 --> 00:36:01,624
he's destined for great things, but also how they matched

793
00:36:01,672 --> 00:36:04,600
Habakko and Natalia. I really. I'm glad they

794
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,320
Added that element to it as well. To really. So that.

795
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,152
Whenever. To that point, getting back to the scene in

796
00:36:10,176 --> 00:36:12,792
question here, when she points that out, that, you

797
00:36:12,816 --> 00:36:15,736
know, we, we, we, we. We planned

798
00:36:15,768 --> 00:36:18,642
this and just. Yeah. it

799
00:36:18,666 --> 00:36:21,500
just really, like, adds just an

800
00:36:21,540 --> 00:36:24,540
extra level of depth and like, you know,

801
00:36:24,580 --> 00:36:27,468
kicking a man when, you know, I won't say kick him when he's

802
00:36:27,484 --> 00:36:29,852
down, but, like, just like, you know, we've been

803
00:36:29,876 --> 00:36:32,748
pulling. We're puppet masters. You've

804
00:36:32,764 --> 00:36:34,200
been a puppet all this time.

805
00:36:34,660 --> 00:36:37,600
>> Sarah : I feel like in that scene,

806
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,712
Viola actually does serve

807
00:36:41,776 --> 00:36:44,720
as a true sayer. And I can't see

808
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,592
that for a lot of scenes. Yeah, I. But

809
00:36:47,616 --> 00:36:50,568
in that moment, it was. No, it was no.

810
00:36:50,624 --> 00:36:53,560
Are they telling the truth? No, it's like I'm telling you the

811
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,232
actual truth verbatim, and the

812
00:36:56,256 --> 00:36:58,968
viewers know it. I, as the viewers are, are

813
00:36:59,024 --> 00:37:01,944
totally on board with the lying

814
00:37:02,072 --> 00:37:04,280
that the truth sayers do, the

815
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,064
manipulation tactics that occur with them.

816
00:37:07,152 --> 00:37:09,976
So. So I think that's why it was like,

817
00:37:10,048 --> 00:37:12,966
oh, dude, she's actually telling you the truth.

818
00:37:13,088 --> 00:37:15,706
And he believes it, too, to some extent. It's

819
00:37:15,738 --> 00:37:18,218
just. It's just the. The

820
00:37:18,274 --> 00:37:20,954
wool got removed, the curtain got

821
00:37:21,042 --> 00:37:23,882
removed from his eyes, and then he's like, I don't know how to live in

822
00:37:23,906 --> 00:37:25,450
this world now, knowing this.

823
00:37:25,570 --> 00:37:28,074
>> Will: Yeah, exactly. Exactly. And,

824
00:37:28,242 --> 00:37:31,050
yeah, so, I mean, you're right. I mean, from that moment,

825
00:37:31,210 --> 00:37:34,122
it was. I. I didn't know how he was going

826
00:37:34,146 --> 00:37:37,130
to go out, but at that moment I was like, he ain't gonna make it out of this

827
00:37:37,170 --> 00:37:37,750
season.

828
00:37:38,530 --> 00:37:41,328
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I mean, once

829
00:37:41,384 --> 00:37:43,740
Viola says he got to go.

830
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,540
Bye. Bye. Yep.

831
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:51,328
Here your. Your time has come to an

832
00:37:51,384 --> 00:37:51,980
end.

833
00:37:53,720 --> 00:37:56,352
But. And. And then

834
00:37:56,456 --> 00:37:59,456
this. This leads into. So by

835
00:37:59,528 --> 00:38:01,920
saying that she gets thrown in jail, which was

836
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,912
purpose, because she. Because she wants to

837
00:38:04,936 --> 00:38:06,020
free Inez.

838
00:38:07,670 --> 00:38:08,610
Okay,

839
00:38:10,150 --> 00:38:11,690
okay. You know,

840
00:38:13,220 --> 00:38:16,172
and. And Inez puts up a fight and

841
00:38:16,196 --> 00:38:19,068
says, kieran, too. Which. And

842
00:38:19,124 --> 00:38:21,980
there is a little bit of, like, Kieran

843
00:38:22,060 --> 00:38:24,974
at the beginning when we see him. no Australian

844
00:38:25,022 --> 00:38:27,710
accent. I was very. I was very

845
00:38:27,750 --> 00:38:30,702
mindful of this episode of tracking an Australian

846
00:38:30,766 --> 00:38:33,502
or a British accent. No, but I swear

847
00:38:33,566 --> 00:38:36,190
last week he had one. Yeah, very

848
00:38:36,230 --> 00:38:38,982
annoying. I wonder if it'll return in

849
00:38:39,006 --> 00:38:41,010
season two. But.

850
00:38:42,270 --> 00:38:45,062
So. So there was foreshadowing about how

851
00:38:45,166 --> 00:38:47,574
he, being an Atreides, would never trust a

852
00:38:47,582 --> 00:38:50,550
Harkonnen. Well, unbeknownst him,

853
00:38:50,590 --> 00:38:53,062
by the end of this episode, him,

854
00:38:53,166 --> 00:38:55,606
Inez and a Harkonnen end up on

855
00:38:55,678 --> 00:38:58,672
Atrakis. So. So what you

856
00:38:58,696 --> 00:38:59,580
gonna do?

857
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,344
>> Will: Yeah, but he made it Very clear. I'm not doing it for you, Valia

858
00:39:03,392 --> 00:39:05,340
Harko, and I'm doing it for her.

859
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,794
>> Sarah : Yeah. but. But at the same time, Valia is

860
00:39:08,802 --> 00:39:11,578
just like, I'm not doing this for you either. I'm

861
00:39:11,594 --> 00:39:14,090
doing this for me.

862
00:39:14,130 --> 00:39:16,650
>> Will: Yeah, we're gonna go to Racus for, like.

863
00:39:16,690 --> 00:39:19,350
>> Sarah : Yeah, I don't know if it's for me

864
00:39:20,210 --> 00:39:22,970
because. Because despite what the Ines

865
00:39:23,050 --> 00:39:25,820
may think she understands, she's still

866
00:39:25,860 --> 00:39:27,068
upon, too.

867
00:39:27,204 --> 00:39:30,060
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah. And. Yeah, and another thing, too,

868
00:39:30,100 --> 00:39:32,412
is, you know who was very conspicuously absent this

869
00:39:32,436 --> 00:39:33,120
episode?

870
00:39:33,460 --> 00:39:33,650
>> Sarah : Who?

871
00:39:34,212 --> 00:39:35,280
>> Will: Constantine.

872
00:39:35,940 --> 00:39:38,508
>> Sarah : Oh, yeah. Yeah. I had that

873
00:39:38,564 --> 00:39:41,356
thought, and then I was like, did they already send him to

874
00:39:41,428 --> 00:39:43,916
attract us? And that's why they ended up there,

875
00:39:43,988 --> 00:39:45,452
because he.

876
00:39:45,636 --> 00:39:48,600
>> Will: He was. He was named head of the fleet. So.

877
00:39:49,060 --> 00:39:51,932
Yeah. Yeah. So I guess the fleet's already. Yeah, so I guess the fleet's already at

878
00:39:51,956 --> 00:39:54,792
Arrakis, or. Or was that. I guess. Yeah, I guess

879
00:39:54,816 --> 00:39:56,520
that's where the conflict was going on. Yeah.

880
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:59,560
>> Sarah : Yeah, because. Because he wasn't around for any of

881
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,200
this, so. And he wouldn't have let

882
00:40:02,240 --> 00:40:05,224
Yanez get thrown into jail, so

883
00:40:05,232 --> 00:40:08,024
I think. Yeah. And that's.

884
00:40:08,072 --> 00:40:10,936
Natalia isn't his mom, so. Yeah,

885
00:40:11,048 --> 00:40:13,800
I think he was like, they had the dinner party, and then he

886
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:15,128
immediately left.

887
00:40:15,264 --> 00:40:18,104
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cassava co found. Yeah,

888
00:40:18,152 --> 00:40:20,596
yeah. They put that in motions, which, you know, with

889
00:40:20,688 --> 00:40:23,516
Francesca and. And he. You know, he

890
00:40:23,588 --> 00:40:26,412
turned in. Yeah, because he was the one that turned in Kieran, so that

891
00:40:26,436 --> 00:40:29,036
was how he was able to get his father's favor. So. Yeah.

892
00:40:29,068 --> 00:40:29,692
>> Sarah : Right.

893
00:40:29,876 --> 00:40:32,640
>> Will: Yeah. and also with this

894
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,632
whole. The whole sequence there, as far as Theodosia,

895
00:40:35,696 --> 00:40:38,560
you know, Pavala, basically leaving her behind

896
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:41,472
to do. Be a distraction. And then, you know, and then, of course,

897
00:40:41,496 --> 00:40:44,382
Theodosia also, you know, shape shifts again to

898
00:40:44,406 --> 00:40:47,396
be one of the soldiers there to. When Desmond shows

899
00:40:47,428 --> 00:40:50,162
up, slow him. You know, not only

900
00:40:50,186 --> 00:40:52,962
is. Slowed him down, not maybe the way Valia

901
00:40:53,026 --> 00:40:54,830
thought she was going to slow him down.

902
00:40:55,770 --> 00:40:58,514
>> Sarah : Well, she. She did what? But, Theodore,

903
00:40:58,562 --> 00:41:01,320
is Theodosia dead or just captured?

904
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:05,560
>> Will: you know, I couldn't tell. I could not

905
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:08,494
tell, because she was. Because the first time, obviously, she

906
00:41:08,502 --> 00:41:11,502
was Inez, but then she changed it into one of the soldiers there

907
00:41:11,526 --> 00:41:12,786
on the floor that was.

908
00:41:12,858 --> 00:41:15,522
>> Sarah : Yeah, I'm talking about the last time, though, because.

909
00:41:15,626 --> 00:41:18,578
Because Desmond. I can't. He

910
00:41:18,714 --> 00:41:21,474
calls her an abomination because she partly

911
00:41:21,522 --> 00:41:24,322
shape ships back, and he's like, what is

912
00:41:24,346 --> 00:41:25,970
this? Which is ironic.

913
00:41:26,130 --> 00:41:26,800
>> Will: Yeah.

914
00:41:27,100 --> 00:41:30,100
>> Sarah : but. But I couldn't tell if it was like,

915
00:41:30,140 --> 00:41:32,490
lock this up or get rid of this

916
00:41:32,530 --> 00:41:35,146
abomination. Meaning, like, she's dead.

917
00:41:35,258 --> 00:41:35,580
>> Will: Yeah.

918
00:41:35,580 --> 00:41:37,672
>> Sarah : but we'll see. We'll see next season.

919
00:41:38,552 --> 00:41:41,344
Or maybe we won't. Or maybe there's a reason why

920
00:41:41,368 --> 00:41:44,336
it's ambiguous. Ambiguous because she can technically

921
00:41:44,384 --> 00:41:46,412
turn into all these characters who

922
00:41:47,752 --> 00:41:50,704
randomly. They're gonna play a card. Oh, that wasn't that. That. Was

923
00:41:50,728 --> 00:41:51,616
she a Doge?

924
00:41:51,744 --> 00:41:52,452
>> Will: Yeah.

925
00:41:54,102 --> 00:41:56,362
>> Sarah : so this. It all escalates until.

926
00:41:56,982 --> 00:41:59,862
To, them running away from the

927
00:41:59,902 --> 00:42:02,464
castle and, trying to get on a flight

928
00:42:02,528 --> 00:42:05,352
out. And Desmond. Violet

929
00:42:05,432 --> 00:42:08,052
finally stops and says, like,

930
00:42:08,592 --> 00:42:11,472
she'll battle, Desmond.

931
00:42:11,892 --> 00:42:14,346
And, she gets infected by the virus.

932
00:42:14,474 --> 00:42:17,224
And, they

933
00:42:17,248 --> 00:42:20,132
did something very unexpected, which was

934
00:42:21,552 --> 00:42:23,944
they put us. They did a

935
00:42:23,968 --> 00:42:26,372
flashback to.

936
00:42:26,832 --> 00:42:29,642
We heard the story about the first

937
00:42:29,682 --> 00:42:32,410
time she ever used the voice, which

938
00:42:32,466 --> 00:42:35,386
was to save her brother Griffin

939
00:42:35,434 --> 00:42:38,202
from drowning. And we

940
00:42:38,242 --> 00:42:39,702
experienced that.

941
00:42:40,642 --> 00:42:43,162
And the whole time I'm like, this is your

942
00:42:43,202 --> 00:42:45,942
fear. But you saved him.

943
00:42:47,362 --> 00:42:50,042
Which does occur. But then upon

944
00:42:50,122 --> 00:42:52,906
saving him, he then

945
00:42:53,074 --> 00:42:55,896
turns and says, you did this. You killed.

946
00:42:55,944 --> 00:42:58,872
And it's. It's more of that fear that his ultimate

947
00:42:58,952 --> 00:43:01,784
death was fault because of

948
00:43:01,808 --> 00:43:02,088
what.

949
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:03,688
>> Will: Yeah. Happened at the dinner table.

950
00:43:03,720 --> 00:43:06,232
>> Sarah : Yeah, exact. Yeah,

951
00:43:06,312 --> 00:43:09,288
yeah. And that's really the

952
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:11,992
fear. And then we

953
00:43:12,032 --> 00:43:14,610
get the, The rippling

954
00:43:14,786 --> 00:43:16,222
and. And the.

955
00:43:17,722 --> 00:43:20,572
And then the fear escalates the

956
00:43:20,612 --> 00:43:23,452
same way. Like, everyone's fear is different with all

957
00:43:23,492 --> 00:43:26,364
of these characters. So you see the

958
00:43:26,388 --> 00:43:29,228
part that's different, but then it culminates into

959
00:43:29,300 --> 00:43:31,852
the reveal of the worm, which. The

960
00:43:31,892 --> 00:43:34,652
galaxy. Galaxy itself is fearful

961
00:43:34,732 --> 00:43:37,552
of the monsters on that planet,

962
00:43:38,102 --> 00:43:40,782
because there are beasts that can't be controlled. But

963
00:43:40,822 --> 00:43:43,550
even I pointed out to you, I want to say very

964
00:43:43,606 --> 00:43:46,174
early on, when we first saw the blue eyes, I was

965
00:43:46,198 --> 00:43:48,502
like, why does it look like there's a

966
00:43:48,542 --> 00:43:51,132
thinking, Like a

967
00:43:51,172 --> 00:43:54,012
thinking bot within the worm? Like, that doesn't make

968
00:43:54,052 --> 00:43:55,272
any sense to me.

969
00:43:57,332 --> 00:43:59,948
Yeah, it's because. More so

970
00:44:00,100 --> 00:44:02,912
the virus is a thinking machine

971
00:44:03,252 --> 00:44:05,804
and the worm is just an illusion of

972
00:44:05,828 --> 00:44:08,610
it. and this goes back

973
00:44:08,666 --> 00:44:11,298
to, I think, something that we've touched

974
00:44:11,330 --> 00:44:13,412
on throughout the season about.

975
00:44:14,032 --> 00:44:16,878
They did a, very good job

976
00:44:16,950 --> 00:44:19,242
of this whole balance between

977
00:44:20,182 --> 00:44:23,182
the. The. The. The

978
00:44:23,222 --> 00:44:25,944
thinking machinery and then the, the

979
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:28,968
mythology. Religious aspects of

980
00:44:28,992 --> 00:44:31,640
this. This world. And

981
00:44:31,808 --> 00:44:34,520
because, like,

982
00:44:34,688 --> 00:44:37,676
obviously we understand, like, AI.

983
00:44:38,096 --> 00:44:38,916
>> Will: Yeah.

984
00:44:38,946 --> 00:44:41,792
>> Sarah : And why. And why. Yeah, that's cool. Advancement

985
00:44:41,824 --> 00:44:44,688
of technology, while at the same time you're like, okay, that can

986
00:44:44,712 --> 00:44:47,408
go a bit too far. Bit too far.

987
00:44:47,512 --> 00:44:49,876
Have you seen Westworld? Okay.

988
00:44:51,276 --> 00:44:53,716
but. But then you have like, a legit

989
00:44:53,796 --> 00:44:56,308
monster on a planet with a

990
00:44:56,332 --> 00:44:57,896
valuable resource,

991
00:44:59,036 --> 00:45:02,020
and. And there's like. Like,

992
00:45:02,108 --> 00:45:04,484
you can equate it in real world

993
00:45:04,540 --> 00:45:07,276
to, tornadoes to.

994
00:45:07,396 --> 00:45:10,148
To hurricanes, And.

995
00:45:10,332 --> 00:45:12,256
And earthquakes and,

996
00:45:12,716 --> 00:45:15,124
like. I don't know. There's something

997
00:45:15,260 --> 00:45:17,812
very fascinating about that,

998
00:45:17,884 --> 00:45:20,868
that I feel like I got more out of

999
00:45:20,892 --> 00:45:23,284
this show than I did out of the two

1000
00:45:23,340 --> 00:45:24,056
movies.

1001
00:45:24,936 --> 00:45:26,256
>> Will: M. Really?

1002
00:45:26,556 --> 00:45:29,060
>> Sarah : Yeah. I. I think there were enough

1003
00:45:29,148 --> 00:45:31,776
touches, especially in Dune 2,

1004
00:45:32,106 --> 00:45:35,026
that made me really, like, okay, I could get on

1005
00:45:35,066 --> 00:45:37,954
board with this. And then I heard some discussions about

1006
00:45:38,010 --> 00:45:40,736
Dune too, and I was like, okay, As people are starting

1007
00:45:40,816 --> 00:45:43,760
to color in the boxes

1008
00:45:43,808 --> 00:45:46,320
a bit more about what's cool and why

1009
00:45:46,408 --> 00:45:49,022
Dune has, been talked

1010
00:45:49,054 --> 00:45:51,678
about for a few decades

1011
00:45:51,742 --> 00:45:52,346
now,

1012
00:45:54,556 --> 00:45:56,594
that. It made me curious.

1013
00:45:56,780 --> 00:45:57,266
>> Will: Yeah.

1014
00:45:57,266 --> 00:46:00,216
>> Sarah : And. And. And mainly the. The

1015
00:46:00,336 --> 00:46:02,916
Jesuits side of it all. Like.

1016
00:46:03,216 --> 00:46:03,736
>> Will: Yeah.

1017
00:46:03,816 --> 00:46:06,696
>> Sarah : Like the. It's like, okay, what's going on

1018
00:46:06,736 --> 00:46:09,336
there? What's with these

1019
00:46:09,376 --> 00:46:10,088
witches?

1020
00:46:10,232 --> 00:46:13,208
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah, for

1021
00:46:13,232 --> 00:46:16,168
sure. For sure. Yeah. Yeah. I think that, you know, with the whole. The

1022
00:46:16,192 --> 00:46:19,140
whole thinking machines, everything you just said, cosine.

1023
00:46:19,188 --> 00:46:22,006
Because I. I feel the same way. This. This, you know,

1024
00:46:22,046 --> 00:46:24,914
was, you know, because it took me a while just to get through part

1025
00:46:24,970 --> 00:46:27,876
one of, of Dune. but I, still have

1026
00:46:27,900 --> 00:46:30,740
to watch Part two. But I, you know. But.

1027
00:46:30,812 --> 00:46:33,716
But now I'm looking forward to, like. I think when

1028
00:46:33,740 --> 00:46:36,196
I watch part two now, I think I will be able

1029
00:46:36,300 --> 00:46:39,126
to, appreciate it more than I

1030
00:46:39,150 --> 00:46:41,894
would have if I had, you know, prior to

1031
00:46:41,934 --> 00:46:44,918
watching this show. Because you're right. I mean, I think it does feel,

1032
00:46:45,006 --> 00:46:47,834
you know, they do a good job of filling in the lore,

1033
00:46:48,384 --> 00:46:51,034
make, you know, giving some again.

1034
00:46:51,334 --> 00:46:54,286
I. I know we'll use it or contextualize tonight, but

1035
00:46:54,310 --> 00:46:57,118
I mean, it really does contextualize things in so many ways.

1036
00:46:57,166 --> 00:47:00,046
Especially like when we see, for example, when Desmond

1037
00:47:00,110 --> 00:47:02,786
is, When

1038
00:47:02,810 --> 00:47:05,666
they do put the thinking machine in his eye.

1039
00:47:05,810 --> 00:47:06,418
>> Sarah : Yeah.

1040
00:47:06,546 --> 00:47:09,378
>> Will: Yeah. And. And we. And

1041
00:47:09,386 --> 00:47:12,258
we. And. And. But they also, you know, have that figure

1042
00:47:12,306 --> 00:47:14,998
off in the distance and. And. And

1043
00:47:15,086 --> 00:47:17,814
we, like, as we were just trying to disfigure if it was

1044
00:47:17,934 --> 00:47:20,918
this Haro working with them or, you know, who, you

1045
00:47:20,926 --> 00:47:23,206
know, is this another thinking machine? Is this just, you know,

1046
00:47:23,230 --> 00:47:26,006
assistant? Is it

1047
00:47:26,030 --> 00:47:28,598
another. Another sister? I mean, you know.

1048
00:47:28,766 --> 00:47:29,110
>> Sarah : Yeah.

1049
00:47:29,142 --> 00:47:31,030
>> Will: As far as the Sisterhood, is it Raquela.

1050
00:47:31,062 --> 00:47:33,700
>> Sarah : I mean, Sister. it might be another

1051
00:47:33,772 --> 00:47:35,668
Harkonnen. I don't think it's a sister.

1052
00:47:35,796 --> 00:47:38,756
>> Will: Yes. Yeah. Well. Yeah, well, I was thinking if it were a

1053
00:47:38,780 --> 00:47:41,542
sister, I was thinking, like, maybe. Maybe Raquela,

1054
00:47:41,628 --> 00:47:44,512
you know, because of the, Because, you know, she was

1055
00:47:44,568 --> 00:47:47,520
very sympathetic, obviously, towards the thinking

1056
00:47:47,552 --> 00:47:50,032
machines. With, you know, given that she did have the

1057
00:47:50,088 --> 00:47:52,794
honorable, machine there in.

1058
00:47:53,494 --> 00:47:55,054
On Wallet nine.

1059
00:47:55,174 --> 00:47:57,294
>> Sarah : So I don't know if that was

1060
00:47:57,414 --> 00:48:00,142
sympathetic or. I

1061
00:48:00,198 --> 00:48:02,734
need this for. To do my

1062
00:48:02,774 --> 00:48:03,310
work.

1063
00:48:03,462 --> 00:48:06,226
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I guess that's me. Yeah, I guess

1064
00:48:06,310 --> 00:48:06,934
hour.

1065
00:48:07,234 --> 00:48:09,322
>> Sarah : So. Yeah. Yeah.

1066
00:48:09,338 --> 00:48:11,834
>> Will: But I mean, yeah, just. It's just so many mysteries

1067
00:48:11,914 --> 00:48:14,906
that. And threads today that we. Like

1068
00:48:14,930 --> 00:48:17,882
I said they answered a lot of questions, but they,

1069
00:48:18,018 --> 00:48:20,778
they put a bunch. They put a big one out that.

1070
00:48:20,866 --> 00:48:23,466
With that reveal of how

1071
00:48:23,570 --> 00:48:26,134
Desmond became the

1072
00:48:26,294 --> 00:48:27,840
transmitter of the virus.

1073
00:48:28,032 --> 00:48:30,976
>> Sarah : Yeah, no, I, I think. I think

1074
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,888
you will have a very good time

1075
00:48:33,976 --> 00:48:36,608
if you watch Dune to Overbreak

1076
00:48:36,656 --> 00:48:39,442
or future, coming

1077
00:48:39,498 --> 00:48:42,146
off of this show. Because I even had a

1078
00:48:42,170 --> 00:48:45,122
moment when Valia was just taking out guards

1079
00:48:45,218 --> 00:48:47,986
left and right with the Voice thinking self

1080
00:48:48,050 --> 00:48:50,546
like, oh, I

1081
00:48:50,650 --> 00:48:53,586
forgot nobody knows about the

1082
00:48:53,610 --> 00:48:54,194
Voice.

1083
00:48:54,354 --> 00:48:55,054
>> Will: Right.

1084
00:48:55,594 --> 00:48:58,434
>> Sarah : Which. So. So we saw the origin story,

1085
00:48:58,554 --> 00:49:01,186
which is so not

1086
00:49:01,290 --> 00:49:04,114
like, wasn't in my consciousness just

1087
00:49:04,154 --> 00:49:06,726
because it was used so much in

1088
00:49:06,830 --> 00:49:09,766
the. The movies and

1089
00:49:09,870 --> 00:49:12,552
talked about and to the point where

1090
00:49:12,688 --> 00:49:15,576
when Will Polk and his mom get captured in

1091
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:18,168
the first one, like, the guards are very

1092
00:49:18,256 --> 00:49:21,000
adamant about covering their mouths.

1093
00:49:21,192 --> 00:49:24,040
Like they can't use the Voice because. And then

1094
00:49:24,112 --> 00:49:27,112
we see them escape by.

1095
00:49:27,248 --> 00:49:30,056
Because they. They were able to manipulate the situation

1096
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:32,854
and everything and. And get those. And

1097
00:49:33,634 --> 00:49:36,458
like, that's a powerful tool tool

1098
00:49:36,546 --> 00:49:39,546
that. That started 10,000 years ahead of

1099
00:49:39,570 --> 00:49:42,330
that. And that's. That's really where I also want to leave

1100
00:49:42,362 --> 00:49:45,212
it is. this show is. Is this

1101
00:49:45,268 --> 00:49:47,784
idea that I still have

1102
00:49:48,084 --> 00:49:50,924
a problem. And I think it'll. I think it

1103
00:49:50,964 --> 00:49:53,660
could become more inflamed in the second

1104
00:49:53,732 --> 00:49:56,520
season. because I watched this happen

1105
00:49:56,592 --> 00:49:59,492
with House of Dragon, because

1106
00:49:59,548 --> 00:50:01,064
with House of Dragon,

1107
00:50:02,364 --> 00:50:05,092
we. Throughout especially the second

1108
00:50:05,148 --> 00:50:08,020
season, the Song of Ice and Fire. Song

1109
00:50:08,052 --> 00:50:10,356
of Ice and fire happened

1110
00:50:10,500 --> 00:50:13,476
200 years later. And we all,

1111
00:50:13,580 --> 00:50:16,404
like a lot of us watched Game of Thrones and

1112
00:50:16,444 --> 00:50:19,220
that was the Song of Ice and Fire. So

1113
00:50:19,292 --> 00:50:21,860
to. To watch characters be

1114
00:50:21,932 --> 00:50:24,656
fearful about stuff that the

1115
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:27,404
viewer already knows will happen

1116
00:50:27,784 --> 00:50:29,644
not in present time,

1117
00:50:30,984 --> 00:50:33,840
that gets the. The stakes. I don't

1118
00:50:33,872 --> 00:50:36,864
know if it's. It just weakens the stakes

1119
00:50:36,944 --> 00:50:39,680
because you're, as a viewer, you're just like, you.

1120
00:50:39,832 --> 00:50:42,624
You feel like people are talking about the end of a story, but

1121
00:50:42,664 --> 00:50:45,392
you've already watched that play out and it has

1122
00:50:45,448 --> 00:50:48,032
nothing to like. It's just weird. And

1123
00:50:48,088 --> 00:50:50,794
so I know that they're not

1124
00:50:50,834 --> 00:50:53,626
necessarily talking about the Messiah, AKA

1125
00:50:53,690 --> 00:50:56,218
Will Polk, but they.

1126
00:50:56,306 --> 00:50:58,426
They do keep referencing the

1127
00:50:58,450 --> 00:51:01,014
Reckoning. And

1128
00:51:02,034 --> 00:51:04,746
I don't know how many seasons you can get

1129
00:51:04,770 --> 00:51:07,610
out, get out with like this

1130
00:51:07,682 --> 00:51:10,454
fear of the reckoning coming

1131
00:51:11,634 --> 00:51:14,330
and, and, and. And not

1132
00:51:14,402 --> 00:51:17,144
tie it somewhat to something that will

1133
00:51:17,184 --> 00:51:19,768
happen 10,000 years later. I don't know.

1134
00:51:19,856 --> 00:51:22,416
But, they somewhat

1135
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:24,464
do to an extent. And

1136
00:51:25,254 --> 00:51:28,030
I'll let you watch Dune too and then you can.

1137
00:51:28,182 --> 00:51:30,876
And we might have a sidebar conversation

1138
00:51:30,940 --> 00:51:33,612
about what I'm alluding to about.

1139
00:51:33,748 --> 00:51:34,664
They do,

1140
00:51:36,414 --> 00:51:38,354
somewhat talk about.

1141
00:51:39,534 --> 00:51:42,320
I can see how this

1142
00:51:42,392 --> 00:51:45,184
plan of theirs essentially

1143
00:51:45,264 --> 00:51:47,604
does come fulfilled

1144
00:51:49,304 --> 00:51:50,384
with Will Polk.

1145
00:51:50,544 --> 00:51:51,136
>> Will: Okay.

1146
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:53,664
>> Sarah : Essentially. So, so

1147
00:51:53,704 --> 00:51:56,496
it's. Maybe that's why I always give you Nez

1148
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:59,184
the side eye because I'm like, I don't think she's the one

1149
00:51:59,224 --> 00:51:59,844
guy.

1150
00:52:02,914 --> 00:52:05,540
but anyway, Well, it was a good

1151
00:52:05,612 --> 00:52:06,198
show.

1152
00:52:06,356 --> 00:52:07,014
>> Will: It was.

1153
00:52:07,514 --> 00:52:10,386
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, like I said last week, I, I'm glad that

1154
00:52:10,410 --> 00:52:13,386
you. Glad that you like picked this one

1155
00:52:13,410 --> 00:52:16,320
for us to to, to be the show to wrap

1156
00:52:16,352 --> 00:52:19,098
up the year with, along as a

1157
00:52:19,106 --> 00:52:22,004
companion to our Superman and Lois discussions earlier. But yeah,

1158
00:52:22,004 --> 00:52:24,826
ah, this is a strong show. I think it was overall, like I said, I think it

1159
00:52:24,850 --> 00:52:27,584
was. I really

1160
00:52:27,624 --> 00:52:30,272
enjoyed it. And I'm glad I got renewed for a second

1161
00:52:30,328 --> 00:52:33,296
season because as I said last week and even more so

1162
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:35,914
after this finale, I'm definitely vested now.

1163
00:52:36,224 --> 00:52:39,084
and it's got me M a, ah, new appreciation of the Dune,

1164
00:52:40,354 --> 00:52:41,374
franchise.

1165
00:52:42,674 --> 00:52:45,210
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah, I'm, I'm more

1166
00:52:45,282 --> 00:52:48,206
invested now than I was, after watching

1167
00:52:48,270 --> 00:52:51,098
both movies. both movies

1168
00:52:51,146 --> 00:52:54,042
though do have points like you watch the first

1169
00:52:54,098 --> 00:52:55,882
one for Oscar Isaac. Okay.

1170
00:52:55,978 --> 00:52:56,442
>> Will: Yeah.

1171
00:52:56,538 --> 00:52:59,194
>> Sarah : There's still scenes from that first one I can

1172
00:52:59,234 --> 00:53:02,138
visualize in my mind and I've only ever seen, seen that movie

1173
00:53:02,186 --> 00:53:04,926
once. Dune too similar.

1174
00:53:05,030 --> 00:53:07,154
There are scenes I can visualize.

1175
00:53:07,874 --> 00:53:10,284
there it's, it moves a lot

1176
00:53:10,324 --> 00:53:12,902
quicker. but at the same

1177
00:53:12,958 --> 00:53:14,834
time I think I have more

1178
00:53:15,614 --> 00:53:18,518
respect for it and more appreciation for it

1179
00:53:18,606 --> 00:53:21,314
now than I did when I first watched it.

1180
00:53:22,094 --> 00:53:24,854
Yeah. Yeah. On

1181
00:53:24,894 --> 00:53:27,814
that note, Will, why don't you tell our listeners where they

1182

can find you?

1183
00:53:29,126 --> 00:53:31,950
