1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,032
>> Sarah : Greetings nerds. This is Scene N Nerd. I'm your host Sarah Belmont and
2
00:00:03,056 --> 00:00:05,912
with me as always, is our Mr. Producer, Will Polk How are you doing
3
00:00:05,936 --> 00:00:06,680
tonight, Will?
4
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,128
>> Will: Doing very well, Sarah How are you doing this evening?
5
00:00:09,224 --> 00:00:10,500
>> Sarah : I'm doing good.
6
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,448
So we got confirmation that the last of us is
7
00:00:15,504 --> 00:00:17,723
returning on April 14.
8
00:00:17,904 --> 00:00:18,625
>> Will: 13Th.
9
00:00:18,806 --> 00:00:21,192
>> Sarah : 13Th. 13th. Got it.
10
00:00:21,296 --> 00:00:24,296
>> Will: Yeah. That Sunday, which we, you know, we anticipate, that was our
11
00:00:24,368 --> 00:00:27,134
bet as well that they would do it the week after
12
00:00:27,222 --> 00:00:29,870
the White Lotus season three ends.
13
00:00:29,950 --> 00:00:32,132
So so yeah, we, we got.
14
00:00:32,156 --> 00:00:35,076
>> Sarah : That news today and they're having seven
15
00:00:35,148 --> 00:00:36,040
episodes.
16
00:00:36,860 --> 00:00:39,842
>> Will: I don't recall how many episodes. That sounds about
17
00:00:39,882 --> 00:00:41,982
right though, I think. Let me just check the.
18
00:00:42,442 --> 00:00:45,394
>> Sarah : I, I was looking at IMDb earlier and
19
00:00:45,418 --> 00:00:47,842
it looked like. Which is a weird
20
00:00:47,922 --> 00:00:50,914
number. I don't, I
21
00:00:50,938 --> 00:00:53,474
don't know how to feel about an odd number
22
00:00:53,578 --> 00:00:56,058
of tele. Of episodes in a
23
00:00:56,170 --> 00:00:58,342
season. It's just a
24
00:00:58,642 --> 00:01:01,514
strange thing. I don't know how
25
00:01:01,538 --> 00:01:04,426
to feel about it. But we always complain
26
00:01:04,474 --> 00:01:06,890
when they stretch out things too long anyway
27
00:01:06,986 --> 00:01:09,930
so they can tell the
28
00:01:09,986 --> 00:01:12,762
story or whatever part of the
29
00:01:12,802 --> 00:01:15,462
story because it's not going to tell the
30
00:01:15,922 --> 00:01:18,832
full story of the second game.
31
00:01:19,212 --> 00:01:22,054
But they're gonna, they
32
00:01:22,078 --> 00:01:25,014
have it designed to tell the portion that they
33
00:01:25,038 --> 00:01:27,782
want to tell with these seven episodes.
34
00:01:27,862 --> 00:01:28,150
So.
35
00:01:28,206 --> 00:01:30,998
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah. And to that point I know the showrunner
36
00:01:31,030 --> 00:01:33,852
did tell, it's detail a
37
00:01:33,802 --> 00:01:36,210
deadline that they were possibly gonna
38
00:01:36,242 --> 00:01:38,664
have four, seasons. Totally.
39
00:01:38,744 --> 00:01:41,208
>> Sarah : So interesting.
40
00:01:41,336 --> 00:01:42,152
Okay.
41
00:01:42,328 --> 00:01:44,808
>> Will: Okay. Yeah. So, yeah.
42
00:01:44,856 --> 00:01:47,692
>> Sarah : So that makes m. Sense really
43
00:01:47,748 --> 00:01:49,132
milking it are we?
44
00:01:49,268 --> 00:01:52,252
>> Will: Oh yeah. Oh yeah, I know like whenever the sec.
45
00:01:52,308 --> 00:01:55,308
The first season ended they. Truck
46
00:01:55,356 --> 00:01:57,724
Ridge and the other Craig,
47
00:01:58,524 --> 00:02:01,204
I'm blanking on his last name right now. Did mention that they
48
00:02:01,244 --> 00:02:03,924
were, you know, they were going to probably stretch out the part
49
00:02:03,964 --> 00:02:06,646
two, for, for some time. So.
50
00:02:06,750 --> 00:02:09,174
Yeah. But I guess season two is going to take place
51
00:02:09,294 --> 00:02:12,134
five at least in, in within the universe five
52
00:02:12,174 --> 00:02:14,988
years after season, one. So.
53
00:02:15,156 --> 00:02:18,012
Yeah, yeah. And, and, and,
54
00:02:18,068 --> 00:02:21,020
and to their credit they're not like dropping too many
55
00:02:21,092 --> 00:02:24,028
spoilers or if they are, I'm just like doing a
56
00:02:24,036 --> 00:02:26,544
good job of avoiding them on social media or whatever.
57
00:02:27,124 --> 00:02:29,804
>> Sarah : Yeah, well, I, I feel like there's a
58
00:02:29,844 --> 00:02:32,704
code at this point, with this
59
00:02:32,744 --> 00:02:35,568
show because it, it really, it's all, all of the
60
00:02:35,576 --> 00:02:36,944
spoilers are out there.
61
00:02:37,064 --> 00:02:38,304
>> Will: Yeah, true, true.
62
00:02:38,384 --> 00:02:41,264
>> Sarah : It's not an original thing, so it's based off
63
00:02:41,304 --> 00:02:43,684
of something that has already occurred.
64
00:02:44,114 --> 00:02:47,066
And so I, but I
65
00:02:47,090 --> 00:02:49,898
just feel like the way season
66
00:02:49,986 --> 00:02:52,842
one was pulled off, there's kind of
67
00:02:52,978 --> 00:02:55,786
like you're not, you're not gonna. If
68
00:02:55,810 --> 00:02:58,618
you do know what happens, you don't
69
00:02:58,666 --> 00:03:01,610
want to be chit chatting with somebody who doesn't
70
00:03:01,642 --> 00:03:04,378
know because you want them to experience the
71
00:03:04,386 --> 00:03:07,386
story. It's kind of like you don't
72
00:03:07,410 --> 00:03:09,454
want to ruin that for anyone.
73
00:03:10,374 --> 00:03:13,262
And I think people who, who do know what's
74
00:03:13,278 --> 00:03:15,886
going to happen and enjoyed season one
75
00:03:16,070 --> 00:03:19,038
are going into season two just like. Okay, so
76
00:03:19,046 --> 00:03:21,454
I have my expectations. I'm
77
00:03:21,404 --> 00:03:24,224
curious how they're going to.
78
00:03:26,764 --> 00:03:29,620
The changes, you know, the deviations
79
00:03:29,732 --> 00:03:32,612
and the surprises. Because they, they did.
80
00:03:32,668 --> 00:03:35,492
They made a lot of changes that first
81
00:03:35,548 --> 00:03:38,396
season. Not to a
82
00:03:38,420 --> 00:03:40,924
detriment though, but to a
83
00:03:40,964 --> 00:03:43,430
strength. they made the right
84
00:03:43,502 --> 00:03:45,996
changes. and I
85
00:03:46,020 --> 00:03:48,584
think why we got that,
86
00:03:48,814 --> 00:03:50,934
especially in comparison to other
87
00:03:51,314 --> 00:03:54,306
adapted works, whether it be from
88
00:03:54,330 --> 00:03:56,770
a game or a book, is that you
89
00:03:56,842 --> 00:03:59,538
have as ah, showrunners, you have
90
00:03:59,626 --> 00:04:02,380
a. The creator of the game
91
00:04:02,532 --> 00:04:05,500
and then you also have a
92
00:04:05,652 --> 00:04:08,224
really well rounded
93
00:04:08,644 --> 00:04:11,224
TV show
94
00:04:11,764 --> 00:04:14,380
who's like, it's like the perfect
95
00:04:14,492 --> 00:04:17,344
melding, who in both, in their own
96
00:04:17,384 --> 00:04:20,204
ways care about the story and
97
00:04:20,494 --> 00:04:23,458
And at the end of the day that's. That's what it comes down to.
98
00:04:23,546 --> 00:04:26,410
So, yeah, looking forward to that
99
00:04:26,602 --> 00:04:29,338
come April because April, we're.
100
00:04:29,386 --> 00:04:31,786
We're as we. As we round out
101
00:04:31,890 --> 00:04:34,570
February and head into March. March, we're
102
00:04:34,602 --> 00:04:37,418
gonna. We're. It's not gonna be a dull March.
103
00:04:37,506 --> 00:04:39,814
I mean we got Daredevil born again.
104
00:04:40,464 --> 00:04:43,364
and. But. But come April, it's just
105
00:04:43,664 --> 00:04:46,328
not. Luckily there's still a break. It's
106
00:04:46,376 --> 00:04:48,824
really the end of April where it's just like,
107
00:04:48,864 --> 00:04:51,112
okay, okay. And then, and then.
108
00:04:51,168 --> 00:04:53,128
Okay, yeah, yeah, we're.
109
00:04:53,176 --> 00:04:55,844
>> Will: We're gonna, we're gonna do some scheduling blocks. Y.
110
00:04:57,724 --> 00:05:00,642
Yeah. where. No, Last of us.
111
00:05:00,698 --> 00:05:03,586
Definitely. We'll probably move back to Tuesday night. Just go ahead and let
112
00:05:03,610 --> 00:05:04,654
you know now
113
00:05:06,394 --> 00:05:09,154
when we record. So expect the podcast to drop late
114
00:05:09,194 --> 00:05:12,140
Tuesday or Wednesday depending on your time zone. and
115
00:05:12,212 --> 00:05:14,970
then also, yeah, and then
116
00:05:15,122 --> 00:05:17,946
of course there's Andor. And. And of course we'll have
117
00:05:17,970 --> 00:05:20,858
to factor in Daredevil. So. Yeah, we. We have a
118
00:05:20,866 --> 00:05:22,854
lot to. We'll have a lot to talk about.
119
00:05:24,004 --> 00:05:26,428
>> Sarah : but before we get into what we're talking about
120
00:05:26,516 --> 00:05:29,326
tonight, you, Why
121
00:05:29,350 --> 00:05:31,806
don't we do the Black History Month?
122
00:05:31,990 --> 00:05:34,862
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah. So actually. And this one
123
00:05:34,918 --> 00:05:37,806
actually ties into one of the topics that
124
00:05:37,830 --> 00:05:40,826
we're going to be, well, discussed tonight. Well, maybe not
125
00:05:40,850 --> 00:05:43,770
the topic, but one of the actors. The movie that we're covering
126
00:05:43,802 --> 00:05:46,776
tonight, of course, which is Captain, America,
127
00:05:46,970 --> 00:05:49,874
Brave, New World. And the show that
128
00:05:49,914 --> 00:05:52,634
I'm going to talk about that
129
00:05:52,584 --> 00:05:55,506
features actor Carl Lumbly is a
130
00:05:55,530 --> 00:05:58,306
show that was it that premiered on the Fox
131
00:05:58,370 --> 00:06:01,274
network in the early 90s. m. Mid. Early to mid
132
00:06:01,314 --> 00:06:03,754
90s called Mantis. That
133
00:06:03,794 --> 00:06:06,794
was a show that was. Was originally
134
00:06:06,874 --> 00:06:09,168
a two hour pilot that was produced by Sam
135
00:06:09,216 --> 00:06:11,876
Raimi. And The
136
00:06:11,900 --> 00:06:14,762
character in the show that Carl Lumbley was
137
00:06:14,818 --> 00:06:17,578
only. It was only on for one season and aired in
138
00:06:17,586 --> 00:06:20,366
1994 and then got canceled on
139
00:06:20,390 --> 00:06:22,574
Fox and then the final two episodes aired in
140
00:06:22,614 --> 00:06:25,074
1997 on the Sci Fi Channel.
141
00:06:25,574 --> 00:06:28,486
But The. The character the show was called
142
00:06:28,510 --> 00:06:31,430
Mantis and it was an African American scientist who.
143
00:06:31,582 --> 00:06:34,520
His name was Dr. Mels Hawkins. And this is actually a show I watched
144
00:06:34,552 --> 00:06:37,532
real time whenever when it first aired and
145
00:06:37,572 --> 00:06:40,384
really really enjoyed it. and he He was a
146
00:06:40,408 --> 00:06:42,752
scientist who was injured
147
00:06:43,158 --> 00:06:45,830
by bullet. he was paralyzed.
148
00:06:45,926 --> 00:06:48,662
And. And so he
149
00:06:48,702 --> 00:06:51,502
develops a. An exoskeleton that
150
00:06:51,452 --> 00:06:54,370
Which was called the Mantis, which is a mechanically augmented
151
00:06:54,418 --> 00:06:56,802
neurotransmitter interception
152
00:06:56,834 --> 00:06:59,648
system. And it basically allowed him to you know
153
00:06:59,672 --> 00:07:02,608
obviously walk and of course he became a crime fighter. And
154
00:07:02,632 --> 00:07:05,456
the show in its early stages really like
155
00:07:05,496 --> 00:07:08,304
the pilot really you know touched on a lot of just issues
156
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,196
as far as police brutality. Had a pretty you know a.
157
00:07:11,816 --> 00:07:14,754
Many African American actors also were
158
00:07:14,810 --> 00:07:17,786
part of the show in that. Well part of the.
159
00:07:17,826 --> 00:07:20,366
At least what in the initial pilot movie.
160
00:07:20,706 --> 00:07:23,626
But then when it went to series, a lot of those folks
161
00:07:23,576 --> 00:07:26,122
were not kept on when it went to series.
162
00:07:26,274 --> 00:07:28,790
Show was pretty grounded at first with a lot of
163
00:07:28,878 --> 00:07:31,672
topical issues that Dr.
164
00:07:31,704 --> 00:07:34,306
Hawkins would face as far as You know
165
00:07:34,346 --> 00:07:37,346
obviously issues with. And social issues during
166
00:07:37,386 --> 00:07:39,540
the time. But As the season
167
00:07:39,628 --> 00:07:42,548
progressed the. The tone of the show shifted. And
168
00:07:42,572 --> 00:07:45,476
I remember this too because I was like man, it went from being very like
169
00:07:45,516 --> 00:07:48,420
and grounded and. And to
170
00:07:48,508 --> 00:07:51,016
more true sci fi
171
00:07:51,356 --> 00:07:54,296
fantasy time travel elements.
172
00:07:55,316 --> 00:07:58,124
yeah. And of course it was. They did that retooling of course
173
00:07:58,180 --> 00:08:01,098
because you know it was a ratings thing. And And then of course
174
00:08:01,122 --> 00:08:03,752
like I said it only lasted for one season. But But yeah, but Carl
175
00:08:03,784 --> 00:08:06,590
Lindley was The play Dr. Miles Hawkins.
176
00:08:06,638 --> 00:08:09,546
And you know you may be able to find it on YouTube or
177
00:08:09,666 --> 00:08:12,648
clips or something like that out there. But you know as far as
178
00:08:12,672 --> 00:08:15,352
like on streaming services. I don't know if it's
179
00:08:15,384 --> 00:08:17,556
like currently on any right now.
180
00:08:17,946 --> 00:08:20,848
But But yeah, but if you do search it
181
00:08:20,872 --> 00:08:23,778
out. I mean, it's overall, as I said, it was
182
00:08:23,802 --> 00:08:26,674
a very. I do remember it. Very enjoyable show,
183
00:08:26,810 --> 00:08:29,762
especially the first half of it. Second half was a little more wonky.
184
00:08:29,794 --> 00:08:32,552
But, But yeah, is that. That was
185
00:08:32,624 --> 00:08:35,288
something I wanted to highlight tonight,
186
00:08:35,352 --> 00:08:38,098
especially given the role that, you know, Carl
187
00:08:38,130 --> 00:08:40,768
Lindley plays now in the MCU as, Isaiah
188
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:41,572
Ratley.
189
00:08:42,202 --> 00:08:42,982
>> Sarah : Yeah.
190
00:08:45,672 --> 00:08:48,592
so. So basically you're recommending something that. But
191
00:08:48,632 --> 00:08:51,612
you don't know where it is, where people can find it.
192
00:08:51,992 --> 00:08:54,896
>> Will: Well, you could probably find it on, like, digital, like, you know, physical
193
00:08:54,944 --> 00:08:56,144
media, right?
194
00:08:56,248 --> 00:08:57,248
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah, for sure.
195
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,532
>> Will: Yeah. But not necessarily on digital media.
196
00:08:59,912 --> 00:09:02,864
>> Sarah : Yeah, I just. I found that to
197
00:09:02,888 --> 00:09:03,712
be funny.
198
00:09:03,872 --> 00:09:06,704
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah. Well, you know, there's a lot of things that are out there like that.
199
00:09:06,728 --> 00:09:09,376
That's why physical media. Don't give me on a soapbox about
200
00:09:09,464 --> 00:09:12,384
pay physical media and why, you know, get your
201
00:09:12,408 --> 00:09:14,748
DVD and, you know, Blu Rays when you can,
202
00:09:14,820 --> 00:09:17,676
because otherwise you're at the whims of a streaming
203
00:09:17,724 --> 00:09:18,312
service.
204
00:09:18,692 --> 00:09:21,628
>> Sarah : Yeah. Yeah, you really are. It's.
205
00:09:21,740 --> 00:09:24,572
I. I still have, like, all
206
00:09:24,612 --> 00:09:27,484
of my DVDs. Like, at one point, I have
207
00:09:27,508 --> 00:09:30,460
the entire Friends series on dvd.
208
00:09:30,556 --> 00:09:33,372
I mean, or I have not the
209
00:09:33,412 --> 00:09:36,300
entire. I have the good early seasons
210
00:09:36,316 --> 00:09:39,104
of Grey's Anatomy on dvd. I
211
00:09:39,128 --> 00:09:42,080
have. I think I have a few Vampire Diaries. Yeah.
212
00:09:42,176 --> 00:09:45,152
Yeah. When I went into
213
00:09:45,192 --> 00:09:47,960
the CW world. but
214
00:09:48,016 --> 00:09:50,696
I think. I think then I switched to.
215
00:09:50,864 --> 00:09:53,768
I didn't go too far down there before
216
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,424
switching to more digital media and buying
217
00:09:56,488 --> 00:09:57,852
seasons of tv.
218
00:09:58,842 --> 00:10:00,738
but anyway.
219
00:10:00,850 --> 00:10:03,794
>> Will: Well, yeah, before we jump, you can't find it on. It is on
220
00:10:03,818 --> 00:10:04,636
Apple tv.
221
00:10:04,794 --> 00:10:07,372
>> Sarah : Okay. Okay, that's.
222
00:10:07,872 --> 00:10:10,744
Yeah, that's good to know.
223
00:10:10,848 --> 00:10:13,736
All right, well. Well, yeah, but I mean,
224
00:10:13,824 --> 00:10:16,632
let's. We don't have to jump too far because you already
225
00:10:16,672 --> 00:10:19,092
brought him up and he does play a
226
00:10:20,352 --> 00:10:23,176
critical part in Captain America 4
227
00:10:23,264 --> 00:10:26,024
Brave New World. The. The IMDb
228
00:10:26,088 --> 00:10:29,016
summary is Sam Wilson, the new Captain America,
229
00:10:29,064 --> 00:10:32,024
finds himself in the middle of an international incident
230
00:10:32,088 --> 00:10:34,792
and must discover the motive behind a nefarious
231
00:10:34,872 --> 00:10:37,782
global plan. That's not really
232
00:10:37,822 --> 00:10:38,682
what it's.
233
00:10:41,342 --> 00:10:42,134
>> Will: One version of.
234
00:10:42,158 --> 00:10:45,126
>> Sarah : It was kind of. Kind of.
235
00:10:45,214 --> 00:10:45,478
>> Will: Yeah.
236
00:10:45,510 --> 00:10:48,256
>> Sarah : I wonder what the Hulk. The Incredible
237
00:10:48,304 --> 00:10:50,864
Hulk 2 summary will be.
238
00:10:51,048 --> 00:10:54,032
Would be. All right, Will, do you
239
00:10:54,072 --> 00:10:56,092
want to go like,
240
00:10:56,552 --> 00:10:59,360
points or do you want to share your overall
241
00:10:59,456 --> 00:11:01,732
thoughts? How do you want to. This.
242
00:11:02,032 --> 00:11:04,792
>> Will: Yeah, I mean, I guess we could just go overall faults
243
00:11:04,872 --> 00:11:07,768
maybe. I like the. You know, we can just
244
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,696
go through how you. How you broke it down on your rundown because I
245
00:11:10,704 --> 00:11:13,322
think, you know, overall thoughts
246
00:11:13,662 --> 00:11:16,406
of the film is in. I
247
00:11:16,494 --> 00:11:19,478
liked it. I mean, I really did. I. I thought it was. It. I. I shared
248
00:11:19,510 --> 00:11:22,334
this, on my. Out of theater that I
249
00:11:22,358 --> 00:11:25,264
posted on our channel, that I thought it
250
00:11:25,288 --> 00:11:28,224
was an entertaining film. Thought it was a good film. I mean.
251
00:11:28,328 --> 00:11:31,172
Yeah, I mean, there. There were definitely elements of it
252
00:11:31,212 --> 00:11:33,072
that had its problems, but,
253
00:11:34,162 --> 00:11:36,826
But overall, I mean, I don't think it's
254
00:11:36,874 --> 00:11:39,594
as bad as some people out there are
255
00:11:39,618 --> 00:11:42,442
saying it is, but, you know, is it a home
256
00:11:42,482 --> 00:11:45,466
run? No, it's not either. But, you know, it's a. This is a
257
00:11:45,474 --> 00:11:48,186
good, solid film. And that's sort of my overall
258
00:11:48,234 --> 00:11:51,228
thoughts, about the film itself. And we can then. Yeah,
259
00:11:51,260 --> 00:11:54,204
we can. I like to. Yeah, then we can just get
260
00:11:54,228 --> 00:11:56,952
into some of the sort of bigger themes of the film.
261
00:11:58,282 --> 00:12:01,040
>> Sarah : Yeah. this isn't a bad movie. It's not a great
262
00:12:01,096 --> 00:12:03,852
movie. I don't think it's worth going to the theater for.
263
00:12:04,712 --> 00:12:07,616
>> Will: Yes, I disagree. I think it's actually worth going to the theater
264
00:12:07,664 --> 00:12:08,252
for.
265
00:12:08,872 --> 00:12:11,696
>> Sarah : No, because of the cherry blossom scene.
266
00:12:11,824 --> 00:12:13,412
That CGI was awful.
267
00:12:15,112 --> 00:12:17,440
That piece was just so bad.
268
00:12:17,496 --> 00:12:20,496
>> Will: Yeah. Now if you
269
00:12:20,504 --> 00:12:23,456
want to say it's not worth going to the theater because basically the.
270
00:12:23,544 --> 00:12:26,272
The finale was just, like, revealed, which is, like, one of my
271
00:12:26,312 --> 00:12:28,972
biggest problems. One of the biggest problems with the film
272
00:12:30,232 --> 00:12:33,072
was revealed pretty much like from
273
00:12:33,112 --> 00:12:35,104
the trailer and then like, every single
274
00:12:35,168 --> 00:12:37,942
promo through, that. That.
275
00:12:37,982 --> 00:12:38,470
>> Sarah : That's.
276
00:12:38,566 --> 00:12:41,494
>> Will: That's one of the biggest problems I have with it because I think it
277
00:12:41,518 --> 00:12:44,482
just undercut what could have been a,
278
00:12:45,192 --> 00:12:47,282
you know, better
279
00:12:48,312 --> 00:12:51,296
reveal. One and. And two. Just, you
280
00:12:51,304 --> 00:12:54,224
know, also just decimated the stakes. Because every
281
00:12:54,248 --> 00:12:57,088
time, you know, I was just like, I. I guess
282
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,092
while I was enjoying the film, I'm like, okay, now
283
00:13:00,472 --> 00:13:03,408
when is, you know, when is Hulk coming? Because they,
284
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,432
you know, is it going to be. Well, you know, I thought
285
00:13:06,472 --> 00:13:09,132
maybe. Okay, that was like, you know, clearly the.
286
00:13:09,512 --> 00:13:12,064
I thought maybe we'll get more than just one grand
287
00:13:12,128 --> 00:13:14,754
finale of Hulk and. And the.
288
00:13:14,928 --> 00:13:17,756
And the, third act there. But, you know, I was like, thinking maybe,
289
00:13:17,804 --> 00:13:20,764
you know, maybe one of those other two moments when. When
290
00:13:20,788 --> 00:13:23,644
Ross was, like, trying
291
00:13:23,668 --> 00:13:26,604
to keep it together. You know, maybe we would get it. Get
292
00:13:26,628 --> 00:13:29,472
a Hulk sighting then, but nope, we didn't.
293
00:13:30,132 --> 00:13:32,972
>> Sarah : Yeah. I. After maybe the
294
00:13:33,012 --> 00:13:35,884
first time they tried to paint the
295
00:13:35,908 --> 00:13:38,844
picture that he was about to burst, I was like,
296
00:13:38,868 --> 00:13:41,772
oh, that's going to be the final act. Okay,
297
00:13:41,932 --> 00:13:42,606
got it.
298
00:13:42,684 --> 00:13:43,130
>> Will: Yeah.
299
00:13:43,226 --> 00:13:46,106
>> Sarah : Interesting. Interesting
300
00:13:46,154 --> 00:13:48,902
choice. All of this drama, especially
301
00:13:49,362 --> 00:13:51,850
during the second act,
302
00:13:51,906 --> 00:13:54,362
or I don't know what you would call it.
303
00:13:54,482 --> 00:13:57,402
The, because it's not the ending act. The ending act
304
00:13:57,442 --> 00:14:00,058
is called Versus Captain America. The,
305
00:14:00,210 --> 00:14:02,954
the precluding ending act
306
00:14:03,058 --> 00:14:05,996
is, the, the whole trying
307
00:14:06,084 --> 00:14:08,722
to get fight, at
308
00:14:09,182 --> 00:14:10,550
Celestial Island.
309
00:14:10,646 --> 00:14:11,322
>> Will: Yes.
310
00:14:11,742 --> 00:14:14,142
>> Sarah : So no, I, My,
311
00:14:14,648 --> 00:14:16,492
my whole thing is
312
00:14:18,072 --> 00:14:20,672
when I say I don't recommend, like,
313
00:14:20,712 --> 00:14:23,536
I don't think you need to go to the theater. It's
314
00:14:23,584 --> 00:14:26,432
like, I only went to the theater to watch this
315
00:14:26,472 --> 00:14:29,212
movie because
316
00:14:30,232 --> 00:14:32,912
we're covering it at the same
317
00:14:32,952 --> 00:14:35,632
time, walking out of it. It's like, okay, would I have
318
00:14:35,672 --> 00:14:38,622
actually gone out of my way, to go
319
00:14:38,662 --> 00:14:41,534
see this? No. No, I wouldn't have. And
320
00:14:41,558 --> 00:14:44,430
I, and I don't. And it's
321
00:14:44,446 --> 00:14:47,246
just, it's just my feeling like I don't, I don't feel
322
00:14:47,334 --> 00:14:50,282
like. And I watched this in imax, by the way.
323
00:14:50,662 --> 00:14:53,534
Maybe that's also why I, it was the
324
00:14:53,558 --> 00:14:54,734
earliest showing.
325
00:14:54,878 --> 00:14:55,762
>> Will: Okay.
326
00:14:56,902 --> 00:14:59,688
>> Sarah : So I was like, it might as well. so maybe that's
327
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,398
why the design of it. and
328
00:15:02,470 --> 00:15:05,184
everyone's. All the criticism that's out there about the
329
00:15:05,208 --> 00:15:07,552
CGI and some of the editing
330
00:15:07,632 --> 00:15:10,320
choices, like, I saw very
331
00:15:10,376 --> 00:15:13,332
clearly, too clearly.
332
00:15:13,742 --> 00:15:16,470
so, so maybe, maybe that's also why
333
00:15:16,526 --> 00:15:19,030
it's just like, I don't know. Now, that being
334
00:15:19,086 --> 00:15:21,414
said, like, in my
335
00:15:21,438 --> 00:15:24,404
opinion, arguably, and I don't
336
00:15:24,436 --> 00:15:27,188
mean to offend Will or anything. I
337
00:15:27,228 --> 00:15:29,850
think if you like, this is a kid
338
00:15:29,914 --> 00:15:32,826
friendly movie, this is a perfect family movie.
339
00:15:33,002 --> 00:15:35,978
Go, take your kids. Like young boys would love
340
00:15:36,018 --> 00:15:38,838
this movie. So would girls. But
341
00:15:39,138 --> 00:15:42,026
I, for, for an, for me,
342
00:15:42,162 --> 00:15:44,678
my age range, I don't think this is
343
00:15:44,978 --> 00:15:47,818
any, that anything
344
00:15:47,898 --> 00:15:49,690
special to that point.
345
00:15:49,714 --> 00:15:52,678
>> Will: I mean, you have a point there. I mean, I think the,
346
00:15:52,628 --> 00:15:55,410
one of the metrics for that's been tracking this
347
00:15:55,434 --> 00:15:58,290
film has shown that younger audiences did like
348
00:15:58,314 --> 00:16:01,248
this film more than older audiences. And I think, yeah,
349
00:16:01,198 --> 00:16:04,062
so I mean that's, that's a fair thing to say because it
350
00:16:04,086 --> 00:16:06,958
really was a very, you know, when you think
351
00:16:07,014 --> 00:16:09,820
it was very cartoonish in a lot of ways. as far as with
352
00:16:09,860 --> 00:16:12,360
the, the action sets, points.
353
00:16:13,060 --> 00:16:15,964
and you know, and, and another thing
354
00:16:16,052 --> 00:16:18,954
that like I said, it was entertaining, but it
355
00:16:18,962 --> 00:16:20,310
was also very,
356
00:16:23,770 --> 00:16:26,110
And maybe this is just where we are as just
357
00:16:27,210 --> 00:16:29,650
viewers of this franchise at this
358
00:16:29,690 --> 00:16:32,620
point. where it's just like we want more
359
00:16:32,660 --> 00:16:35,660
because we are older as far as viewers
360
00:16:35,740 --> 00:16:38,620
and more depth, more depth of story
361
00:16:38,740 --> 00:16:41,612
because like they would like, you know, they were
362
00:16:41,636 --> 00:16:44,572
trying to touch on like the political thriller themes. They were
363
00:16:44,596 --> 00:16:47,230
trying to pick up on the, you know,
364
00:16:47,270 --> 00:16:49,822
Sam's struggle. You
365
00:16:49,846 --> 00:16:52,782
know, we did we saw the struggle with him in the story, you
366
00:16:52,806 --> 00:16:55,678
know, becoming the, the black captain in America.
367
00:16:55,774 --> 00:16:58,494
We saw that in Falcon and Winter Soldier. So, yeah,
368
00:16:58,622 --> 00:17:01,230
so, you know, when we get to this film, he's clearly like,
369
00:17:01,270 --> 00:17:04,142
accepted. I mean, the man's got like, you know, headquarters.
370
00:17:04,206 --> 00:17:07,134
He's not like getting denied for bank loans anymore. So.
371
00:17:07,222 --> 00:17:10,142
So, so, you know, so
372
00:17:10,166 --> 00:17:12,450
all that kind of stuff, we,
373
00:17:13,470 --> 00:17:16,182
people, he's quote unquote, made
374
00:17:16,206 --> 00:17:19,020
it. but whenever they were
375
00:17:19,060 --> 00:17:21,596
trying to dig into the stories
376
00:17:21,788 --> 00:17:24,412
of whenever he and Isaiah were having the
377
00:17:24,436 --> 00:17:27,276
philosophical discussion again that was brought up in Falcon
378
00:17:27,308 --> 00:17:30,040
and Winter Soldier was doing much better in that one.
379
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,990
as far as the,
380
00:17:33,870 --> 00:17:36,812
you know, whatever.
381
00:17:36,956 --> 00:17:39,628
Now Sam is like, is he working for Ross? You know, a country
382
00:17:39,684 --> 00:17:42,636
that. And in all the things that Ross represents
383
00:17:42,748 --> 00:17:45,640
or, or
384
00:17:46,030 --> 00:17:48,822
are you your own, are you on your own person? You
385
00:17:48,846 --> 00:17:51,638
know, they just, they like, they dance around
386
00:17:51,694 --> 00:17:54,614
it, but they don't like really do anything
387
00:17:54,662 --> 00:17:57,548
with it. To me. And it was, you know, I was sitting
388
00:17:57,564 --> 00:18:00,492
there and I was just like, give me a little bit more. Because I was just
389
00:18:00,516 --> 00:18:03,452
like, I want more. Go into that more. And it's just like
390
00:18:03,476 --> 00:18:06,362
this, this film just sort of. Whether it was that
391
00:18:06,386 --> 00:18:09,338
or just the political thriller aspect that they were trying to get to,
392
00:18:09,394 --> 00:18:12,170
it was just sort of, you know, dancing at the top of the
393
00:18:12,210 --> 00:18:14,830
levels and didn't. And it wasn't surface deep.
394
00:18:15,490 --> 00:18:18,394
>> Sarah : Right, right. They had the kid friendly
395
00:18:18,442 --> 00:18:19,162
gloves on.
396
00:18:19,266 --> 00:18:19,810
>> Will: Yeah.
397
00:18:20,650 --> 00:18:23,330
>> Sarah : and that's, that's like
398
00:18:23,450 --> 00:18:26,098
a big problem with this film is
399
00:18:26,154 --> 00:18:28,258
that when you say
400
00:18:28,314 --> 00:18:31,282
entertained for me, I was like. I
401
00:18:31,306 --> 00:18:34,098
don't know if I can truly say I was entertained.
402
00:18:34,194 --> 00:18:36,870
Like I said, I don't think it's a bad mov.
403
00:18:37,190 --> 00:18:39,770
I definitely don't know.
404
00:18:40,550 --> 00:18:42,130
I can't.
405
00:18:44,150 --> 00:18:46,542
I keep comparing it to Love and
406
00:18:46,566 --> 00:18:48,160
Thunder just because,
407
00:18:51,730 --> 00:18:52,590
>> Will: Okay.
408
00:18:54,050 --> 00:18:56,906
>> Sarah : I mean, no matter what you think about
409
00:18:56,978 --> 00:18:59,882
that movie, my experience as
410
00:18:59,906 --> 00:19:02,860
an audience member was just
411
00:19:02,900 --> 00:19:05,500
having a big smile on my face because for some
412
00:19:05,540 --> 00:19:08,188
reason Chris Hemsworth's comedy
413
00:19:08,364 --> 00:19:11,356
like, like just does it for me and
414
00:19:11,428 --> 00:19:14,332
Tyco Waiki's comedy. So
415
00:19:14,436 --> 00:19:17,132
the dramatic plot points
416
00:19:17,236 --> 00:19:20,076
and the, the villain, horrible.
417
00:19:20,188 --> 00:19:23,052
Like on the same level as, in my opinion, the
418
00:19:23,076 --> 00:19:25,400
villain in this movie. But
419
00:19:25,780 --> 00:19:28,674
it was the comedy where I was like, oh, yeah, it's not a
420
00:19:28,682 --> 00:19:31,030
great movie, but I was entertained
421
00:19:31,690 --> 00:19:34,450
this movie. Okay. I didn't laugh
422
00:19:34,530 --> 00:19:37,330
one single time. Nobody in my audience
423
00:19:37,410 --> 00:19:39,870
laughed a single time. And
424
00:19:40,330 --> 00:19:43,186
I just, I was not. I can't
425
00:19:43,218 --> 00:19:46,066
really full heartedly say I was entertained
426
00:19:46,178 --> 00:19:49,150
because I kept getting distracted by things.
427
00:19:49,530 --> 00:19:52,530
Mainly the fact That I wasn't laughing at jokes and
428
00:19:52,570 --> 00:19:54,940
thinking in my head that, like,
429
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,448
I don't know why that didn't work for me, but
430
00:19:58,504 --> 00:20:01,408
I see you marvel humor, and I don't know what you're
431
00:20:01,424 --> 00:20:04,018
doing right now. but. But it was
432
00:20:04,074 --> 00:20:06,418
just. It was mainly distracting
433
00:20:06,514 --> 00:20:09,170
because I
434
00:20:09,210 --> 00:20:12,128
felt like, Joaquin Torres was in a different
435
00:20:12,184 --> 00:20:14,688
movie. And then I kept getting
436
00:20:14,744 --> 00:20:16,460
distracted by
437
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,602
Ruth. because I'm a
438
00:20:20,626 --> 00:20:23,482
short person. Okay? I'm. I'm five, six.
439
00:20:23,586 --> 00:20:26,472
I'm short. Okay. I'm, average
440
00:20:26,536 --> 00:20:29,320
for female or borderline. I don't know, but
441
00:20:29,360 --> 00:20:32,168
I know I'm short. So the whole time I'm thinking, I'm
442
00:20:32,184 --> 00:20:35,160
like, I need to figure out how short she is
443
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,180
because I need to make sure she's shorter than me.
444
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,220
You're distractingly small,
445
00:20:43,900 --> 00:20:46,516
Harrison. Like, they didn't even try to hide
446
00:20:46,548 --> 00:20:49,396
it. Like, she's five two. But
447
00:20:49,548 --> 00:20:52,284
she, like you. I mean, I know
448
00:20:52,308 --> 00:20:55,004
Scarlett Johansson is short, but
449
00:20:55,188 --> 00:20:57,868
she doesn't appear that short on
450
00:20:57,940 --> 00:21:00,780
screen. So, like, whether they
451
00:21:00,836 --> 00:21:03,196
use, like, what they do with Tom Cruise apple
452
00:21:03,244 --> 00:21:06,124
boxes. But. But she. They did not
453
00:21:06,148 --> 00:21:08,844
try to hide it. And it was just very distracting to
454
00:21:08,868 --> 00:21:11,574
me. On top of, like,
455
00:21:11,758 --> 00:21:13,878
so you're just gonna throw out there that
456
00:21:13,950 --> 00:21:16,278
she's like, red room
457
00:21:16,350 --> 00:21:19,126
trained, former black widow, but also
458
00:21:19,214 --> 00:21:22,134
the head of the security, which was just
459
00:21:22,158 --> 00:21:24,742
an awkward scene of like, I just had an
460
00:21:24,782 --> 00:21:27,462
assassination temp on me. I'm in a room
461
00:21:27,502 --> 00:21:30,224
with all of these. All of my, cabinet
462
00:21:30,288 --> 00:21:33,216
members. And then Captain America comes in. Everyone
463
00:21:33,304 --> 00:21:36,006
out. He stays. She comes in. Nope,
464
00:21:36,054 --> 00:21:38,242
she's staying too. It's like, what? What?
465
00:21:38,622 --> 00:21:40,486
>> Will: Yeah, man. Yeah.
466
00:21:40,534 --> 00:21:42,678
>> Sarah : I mean, weird and clunky.
467
00:21:42,790 --> 00:21:45,602
>> Will: Yeah, it was clunky. Well, also, I think, too, it's just
468
00:21:46,142 --> 00:21:47,602
the. To me
469
00:21:48,942 --> 00:21:51,482
that her edits
470
00:21:51,822 --> 00:21:53,282
were actually, to me,
471
00:21:54,142 --> 00:21:56,842
more distracting.
472
00:21:58,422 --> 00:22:01,222
and of. Of like, where then
473
00:22:01,262 --> 00:22:03,702
the Giancarlo Esposito
474
00:22:03,862 --> 00:22:06,614
reshoots. Because to your point, you know,
475
00:22:06,638 --> 00:22:09,574
they. Because of the nature of this character, one, they were
476
00:22:09,598 --> 00:22:12,326
like, okay, we can't piss anybody. You know, it's just like, you
477
00:22:12,334 --> 00:22:15,122
know, I think they were allowing real world
478
00:22:16,062 --> 00:22:19,030
geopolitical things going on with Israel, Gaza,
479
00:22:19,046 --> 00:22:19,830
and other stuff.
480
00:22:19,926 --> 00:22:20,486
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah.
481
00:22:20,534 --> 00:22:23,478
>> Will: To like, you know, influence, like,
482
00:22:23,550 --> 00:22:26,502
oh, okay, so we can't piss off. We can't piss off X
483
00:22:26,542 --> 00:22:29,338
number of crowd by making Sam too blacky black. We can't
484
00:22:29,370 --> 00:22:32,026
piss off Israel, you know, Israelis or
485
00:22:32,114 --> 00:22:34,746
God or Palestinians because of the, you know, conflict
486
00:22:34,794 --> 00:22:37,594
there. So, I mean, it was, you know, so those kind of
487
00:22:37,618 --> 00:22:40,602
mish. Those kind of things that were, you know, done
488
00:22:40,642 --> 00:22:43,466
to this Film, especially given how long it's like
489
00:22:43,634 --> 00:22:46,512
going. Taking. it. You know, those are. Those.
490
00:22:46,632 --> 00:22:49,392
That was for me, like even more
491
00:22:49,432 --> 00:22:52,378
apparent, given no one's. No one
492
00:22:52,450 --> 00:22:54,462
Cyrus backstory,
493
00:22:55,122 --> 00:22:57,978
why they went there. I was like, oh, gosh, yeah,
494
00:22:58,090 --> 00:23:01,034
that, that kind of stuff was just like, yeah, that.
495
00:23:01,138 --> 00:23:03,882
Come on, y'all just, just grow up here. We're. We.
496
00:23:03,922 --> 00:23:06,666
We're adults in the room. You don't. You know,
497
00:23:06,754 --> 00:23:08,074
if you can handle this.
498
00:23:08,178 --> 00:23:11,178
>> Sarah : If you're gonna bring it to the table, then do it.
499
00:23:11,250 --> 00:23:14,042
Don't. You can't. You can't do. Go halfway with this
500
00:23:14,082 --> 00:23:16,874
stuff. Like, either she's that character or she's not.
501
00:23:16,978 --> 00:23:17,338
>> Will: Right?
502
00:23:17,410 --> 00:23:19,302
>> Sarah : And, and, and by.
503
00:23:21,282 --> 00:23:24,218
That's where the whole commentary that this is a watered
504
00:23:24,250 --> 00:23:27,222
down version of, whether it be
505
00:23:27,522 --> 00:23:30,090
Captain America, Civil War, or even
506
00:23:30,226 --> 00:23:31,902
Winter Soldier itself
507
00:23:35,202 --> 00:23:38,154
because you're afraid to bring in the
508
00:23:38,178 --> 00:23:39,582
original ideas,
509
00:23:40,782 --> 00:23:42,928
you are therefore
510
00:23:43,120 --> 00:23:46,102
reverting inadvertently back to
511
00:23:46,272 --> 00:23:49,242
things we've Scene before. Yeah, and. And
512
00:23:49,282 --> 00:23:52,154
I mean that like, like that was
513
00:23:52,178 --> 00:23:55,162
also disappointing is to watch it and just be like,
514
00:23:55,202 --> 00:23:58,026
okay, so, yeah, it's a new Captain
515
00:23:58,074 --> 00:24:00,842
America. But we're going through the same
516
00:24:00,882 --> 00:24:02,742
beats here, like
517
00:24:04,242 --> 00:24:06,634
in the last two movies. And,
518
00:24:06,818 --> 00:24:09,626
and they, they were more entertaining
519
00:24:09,754 --> 00:24:12,482
because, not, not because they
520
00:24:12,522 --> 00:24:15,506
didn't go there with some of the stuff, but just because
521
00:24:15,594 --> 00:24:18,050
of the. It was, it felt more
522
00:24:18,106 --> 00:24:20,622
fresh too at the time.
523
00:24:21,112 --> 00:24:23,984
but. And I also think it's. I like
524
00:24:24,008 --> 00:24:26,624
how you brought up the impact of
525
00:24:26,728 --> 00:24:29,408
current political issues on
526
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,968
this movie because of
527
00:24:32,120 --> 00:24:35,120
the, the wanting it to be more
528
00:24:35,176 --> 00:24:36,872
grounded and,
529
00:24:38,442 --> 00:24:40,690
and tap into that political filler
530
00:24:40,786 --> 00:24:43,478
thriller. it almost worked
531
00:24:43,670 --> 00:24:46,162
itself into a detriment because.
532
00:24:46,702 --> 00:24:49,622
Because, I mean, you have that impact. And
533
00:24:49,662 --> 00:24:52,562
at the same time, like,
534
00:24:53,982 --> 00:24:56,582
we're talking Winter
535
00:24:56,662 --> 00:24:59,430
Soldier and Civil War were like in stage
536
00:24:59,526 --> 00:25:01,962
four, phase two, Marvel
537
00:25:02,382 --> 00:25:04,500
2. And yeah, yeah, they were
538
00:25:04,556 --> 00:25:07,332
sequels of like the
539
00:25:07,372 --> 00:25:10,004
first Avenger movie. And we've already had the
540
00:25:10,028 --> 00:25:12,522
Avengers. And so what I'm getting at,
541
00:25:13,412 --> 00:25:15,512
you're going to present this during
542
00:25:15,972 --> 00:25:18,924
Phase four or whatever phase we're in.
543
00:25:18,948 --> 00:25:19,180
Right.
544
00:25:19,236 --> 00:25:20,382
>> Will: I don't even know what phase we're in.
545
00:25:20,382 --> 00:25:23,148
>> Sarah : M. Yeah, yeah. Like phase four and a half.
546
00:25:23,300 --> 00:25:24,572
>> Will: Five. I mean, six.
547
00:25:24,692 --> 00:25:27,628
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah. And at this point, we've
548
00:25:27,660 --> 00:25:30,634
gone to space so many times. Like, how many times have we
549
00:25:30,658 --> 00:25:33,382
been to space? How many times? Like,
550
00:25:34,322 --> 00:25:37,146
it's. It's interesting if you follow
551
00:25:37,314 --> 00:25:40,090
following this franchise and really look at it,
552
00:25:40,226 --> 00:25:43,146
to see how a movie
553
00:25:43,194 --> 00:25:45,578
like this and a movie like Black
554
00:25:45,650 --> 00:25:48,630
Widow have, that are
555
00:25:48,686 --> 00:25:51,558
meant to be more grounded and meant. It's
556
00:25:51,590 --> 00:25:54,420
like, yeah, but they're in, phases
557
00:25:54,616 --> 00:25:57,324
where all of this, like, larger
558
00:25:57,388 --> 00:26:00,172
than life spectacle stuff. And so
559
00:26:00,292 --> 00:26:01,672
I feel like,
560
00:26:04,072 --> 00:26:06,240
as a fan or a viewer of this
561
00:26:06,296 --> 00:26:08,224
franchise, it's kind of
562
00:26:08,248 --> 00:26:10,816
disorienting to go from
563
00:26:10,904 --> 00:26:13,600
space to home and
564
00:26:13,656 --> 00:26:16,224
also at a period where
565
00:26:16,408 --> 00:26:18,416
Endgame has already, like, post
566
00:26:18,504 --> 00:26:20,938
endgame, and you're just like,
567
00:26:21,010 --> 00:26:23,402
okay, so when's the last time we've been on
568
00:26:23,442 --> 00:26:26,362
Earth? And also when
569
00:26:26,402 --> 00:26:29,050
is the last time where we,
570
00:26:29,186 --> 00:26:32,154
like for this movie, what's going on with
571
00:26:32,178 --> 00:26:34,650
America? Who are our
572
00:26:34,706 --> 00:26:37,642
people and how are
573
00:26:37,682 --> 00:26:40,426
the superhero people being treated?
574
00:26:40,554 --> 00:26:42,942
I think a big misstep,
575
00:26:43,562 --> 00:26:46,522
that we have yet to talk about is
576
00:26:47,462 --> 00:26:50,446
by bringing in back Thunderbolt
577
00:26:50,494 --> 00:26:52,526
Ross and doing the Red Hulk
578
00:26:52,574 --> 00:26:55,406
storyline, they really made it
579
00:26:55,494 --> 00:26:57,886
into the sequel to the
580
00:26:57,894 --> 00:26:59,966
Incredible Hulk. Like, that whole
581
00:27:00,014 --> 00:27:02,878
storyline. I've never watched the Incredible
582
00:27:02,910 --> 00:27:05,812
Hulk. but I know
583
00:27:05,852 --> 00:27:08,372
Liv Tyler's in it. I do know that
584
00:27:08,412 --> 00:27:10,986
much. and
585
00:27:11,154 --> 00:27:14,074
I know other characters who are in it who are different in
586
00:27:14,098 --> 00:27:16,890
this movie. But I
587
00:27:16,946 --> 00:27:19,462
think that the misstep is
588
00:27:20,162 --> 00:27:22,742
doing that and not
589
00:27:23,042 --> 00:27:24,902
really making it about
590
00:27:25,682 --> 00:27:28,522
his involvement with the Sokovia
591
00:27:28,602 --> 00:27:31,290
Accords and what that
592
00:27:31,346 --> 00:27:33,594
means post endgame.
593
00:27:33,738 --> 00:27:36,674
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, that's a good point. Because they did.
594
00:27:36,698 --> 00:27:39,570
They dropped the Sokovia Accords in there, you know,
595
00:27:39,626 --> 00:27:42,222
and, and, and so
596
00:27:42,522 --> 00:27:45,442
whenever Sam, Whenever they had the whole, you're not
597
00:27:45,482 --> 00:27:48,450
Steve Rogers, you know, blah, blah, blah. So. Yeah, so
598
00:27:48,586 --> 00:27:51,234
that. That is a very good point.
599
00:27:51,338 --> 00:27:54,204
Beyond just that, it's a sequel to the Incredible Hulk. It's. It's more
600
00:27:54,228 --> 00:27:57,132
than that because the Sokovia Accords was a very,
601
00:27:57,172 --> 00:27:59,740
you know, to our point about things being
602
00:27:59,796 --> 00:28:02,442
grounded. I mean, that was the whole
603
00:28:02,862 --> 00:28:05,814
theme and thrust of like the big philosophical is
604
00:28:05,838 --> 00:28:08,726
this blow up between Tony and
605
00:28:08,894 --> 00:28:09,558
Steve.
606
00:28:09,670 --> 00:28:12,582
>> Sarah : Yep, yep. And. And
607
00:28:12,702 --> 00:28:15,622
it also impacted Sam. And that
608
00:28:15,662 --> 00:28:18,534
was what. It was also mentioned in
609
00:28:18,558 --> 00:28:21,542
this movie that. That was like they
610
00:28:21,582 --> 00:28:24,438
locked us up during, like, he's the one responsible
611
00:28:24,470 --> 00:28:27,414
for locking me up during that time period.
612
00:28:27,598 --> 00:28:30,436
So. So I don't know why they didn't
613
00:28:30,484 --> 00:28:32,836
focus so much more attention on that.
614
00:28:32,924 --> 00:28:35,780
Like, and the fact
615
00:28:35,836 --> 00:28:38,182
that, granted, he didn't know
616
00:28:38,642 --> 00:28:41,222
throughout the movie that he was
617
00:28:41,762 --> 00:28:44,566
becoming, a person with
618
00:28:44,654 --> 00:28:47,602
powers, but he.
619
00:28:49,102 --> 00:28:52,006
They could have done so much more with that. And it
620
00:28:52,014 --> 00:28:54,166
was such a glaring missed
621
00:28:54,214 --> 00:28:57,102
opportunity that on the one
622
00:28:57,142 --> 00:29:00,014
hand you have that, and on the other hand, it's.
623
00:29:00,078 --> 00:29:02,494
They invested so much time
624
00:29:02,678 --> 00:29:05,118
into us really understanding
625
00:29:05,230 --> 00:29:07,774
or knowing about knowing
626
00:29:07,838 --> 00:29:10,606
Thunderbolt Ross and, And
627
00:29:10,694 --> 00:29:13,294
like, why he's changed or
628
00:29:13,398 --> 00:29:16,366
hasn't changed and all of this that I felt
629
00:29:16,414 --> 00:29:19,310
like the whole time I'm like, yeah, okay, but
630
00:29:19,366 --> 00:29:20,802
what's going on with Sam?
631
00:29:21,502 --> 00:29:24,486
>> Will: Yeah, because they could have used. They could easily
632
00:29:24,614 --> 00:29:27,078
link the two with this. You know, especially
633
00:29:27,150 --> 00:29:29,252
with Isaiah's, story,
634
00:29:30,112 --> 00:29:31,892
all the, the
635
00:29:32,752 --> 00:29:35,368
Ross's story and, And Sam
636
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,456
really, you know, having that philosophical debate
637
00:29:38,504 --> 00:29:40,932
with the. With himself about
638
00:29:41,312 --> 00:29:44,056
what's going on here beyond him. Like, should I take the
639
00:29:44,064 --> 00:29:47,064
serum or not take the serum? I mean, that. That was like this. That was just
640
00:29:47,088 --> 00:29:48,132
a surface level.
641
00:29:49,372 --> 00:29:51,844
>> Sarah : Yeah, well, I think even the
642
00:29:51,868 --> 00:29:54,692
serum discussion is interesting
643
00:29:54,772 --> 00:29:57,668
like, like going more into that
644
00:29:57,740 --> 00:30:00,244
because. Because it is a.
645
00:30:00,348 --> 00:30:03,204
Especially after the series Falcon and
646
00:30:03,228 --> 00:30:05,972
Winter Soldier and to. To find
647
00:30:06,012 --> 00:30:08,596
himself now taking on Captain
648
00:30:08,644 --> 00:30:10,912
America, that role.
649
00:30:11,372 --> 00:30:14,032
He doesn't have powers. He.
650
00:30:14,722 --> 00:30:17,386
I, mean, I know. And my mind immediately goes like
651
00:30:17,426 --> 00:30:18,874
Batman doesn't either.
652
00:30:19,050 --> 00:30:20,170
>> Will: Right, right. Exactly.
653
00:30:20,218 --> 00:30:23,018
>> Sarah : Yeah, right. Right. And we saw that. We saw the
654
00:30:23,042 --> 00:30:25,766
Wakanda technology and all of that,
655
00:30:26,146 --> 00:30:28,874
but really what
656
00:30:28,930 --> 00:30:31,818
this movie should have done and
657
00:30:31,842 --> 00:30:34,810
should have focused on is
658
00:30:34,978 --> 00:30:37,866
really hammering it home as
659
00:30:37,906 --> 00:30:40,286
to why not just Sam Wilson,
660
00:30:40,606 --> 00:30:43,542
but anyone who doesn't have
661
00:30:43,614 --> 00:30:46,246
powers, like, or
662
00:30:46,286 --> 00:30:48,456
maybe m.
663
00:30:49,886 --> 00:30:52,662
Hammering, home. Why specifically
664
00:30:52,854 --> 00:30:55,494
Sam Wilson, someone who doesn't have
665
00:30:55,550 --> 00:30:58,166
powers but who had a very unique
666
00:30:58,246 --> 00:31:00,966
relationship with Steve Rogers is
667
00:31:01,006 --> 00:31:03,574
the only one who can take on that
668
00:31:03,630 --> 00:31:06,546
mantle. Like, they,
669
00:31:07,166 --> 00:31:10,022
I still don't really
670
00:31:10,094 --> 00:31:12,790
understand why. Why it.
671
00:31:12,878 --> 00:31:15,558
Why. Why Sam is the right person. Like, they
672
00:31:15,582 --> 00:31:18,374
haven't proven that to me. Like, I haven't Scene
673
00:31:18,430 --> 00:31:20,786
anything unique. And I also.
674
00:31:21,246 --> 00:31:23,862
And I think. And I know we've talked about this for.
675
00:31:23,934 --> 00:31:26,374
I struggle especially in this
676
00:31:26,430 --> 00:31:29,414
genre when, when it's like,
677
00:31:29,470 --> 00:31:32,150
okay, so, so what's
678
00:31:32,198 --> 00:31:35,196
the, what's the trade off here? Like, what
679
00:31:35,236 --> 00:31:38,108
is Sam giving up
680
00:31:38,292 --> 00:31:41,276
by assuming this, this position or this
681
00:31:41,316 --> 00:31:43,596
role? Like, like, what's the
682
00:31:43,636 --> 00:31:46,460
flaw in armor? And,
683
00:31:46,548 --> 00:31:49,372
and, and maybe. And yes, you can say, well,
684
00:31:49,444 --> 00:31:52,412
well, he's black and it's Captain America and there's
685
00:31:52,444 --> 00:31:55,084
all that meaning. But because they don't go into.
686
00:31:57,156 --> 00:32:00,088
Doesn't, it doesn't carry that substance.
687
00:32:00,242 --> 00:32:00,844
So.
688
00:32:00,980 --> 00:32:03,692
>> Will: Yeah, and yeah, and yeah, it's
689
00:32:03,724 --> 00:32:05,296
like it's.
690
00:32:06,596 --> 00:32:09,596
They don't. They're some of the good. Less things that they
691
00:32:09,636 --> 00:32:12,588
did well in Falcon and Winter Soldier to that point as
692
00:32:12,612 --> 00:32:15,292
far as exploring to. To
693
00:32:15,444 --> 00:32:18,268
him, you know, struggling with just
694
00:32:18,292 --> 00:32:21,212
taking on this mantle of Captain America
695
00:32:21,244 --> 00:32:23,336
and what it all means. And,
696
00:32:24,276 --> 00:32:27,132
and then, you know, using this film as a vehicle
697
00:32:27,244 --> 00:32:30,236
to, to really go even deeper into that.
698
00:32:30,276 --> 00:32:31,736
It was definitely a missed opportun.
699
00:32:32,316 --> 00:32:35,056
>> Sarah : Yeah. Yeah. Because I,
700
00:32:35,036 --> 00:32:38,006
So how many, how many years have gone by, like
701
00:32:38,046 --> 00:32:40,630
the events of this movie? Three years?
702
00:32:40,798 --> 00:32:43,654
Two years? So, so that.
703
00:32:43,710 --> 00:32:46,278
That wasn't very clear to me while watching the
704
00:32:46,302 --> 00:32:49,076
movie. And, and, you were saying
705
00:32:49,116 --> 00:32:51,924
before, like, he's clearly doing good
706
00:32:51,980 --> 00:32:54,900
things. He's. He's getting paid. And I'm like, okay, so
707
00:32:54,908 --> 00:32:57,416
who's paying him? Is he still a governant
708
00:32:57,876 --> 00:32:58,748
Contractor?
709
00:32:58,812 --> 00:32:59,228
>> Will: Right.
710
00:32:59,332 --> 00:33:02,236
>> Sarah : So then, then why is it a big deal that
711
00:33:02,276 --> 00:33:05,158
he would report to, President Ross?
712
00:33:05,222 --> 00:33:07,782
Like, doesn't he already. I'm confused.
713
00:33:07,894 --> 00:33:10,886
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah. And, you know, and then you make a big deal for him saying,
714
00:33:10,926 --> 00:33:11,974
no, I don't work for Ross.
715
00:33:12,070 --> 00:33:12,726
>> Sarah : Yeah, but.
716
00:33:12,766 --> 00:33:15,638
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, yeah, but then, but then they
717
00:33:15,662 --> 00:33:17,266
don't like. But then of course,
718
00:33:17,886 --> 00:33:20,866
somehow, you know, but they don't like. They.
719
00:33:21,166 --> 00:33:23,506
Again, they show but don't tell. Like,
720
00:33:25,676 --> 00:33:28,612
like whenever Ross pulls him over and uses. Uses
721
00:33:28,644 --> 00:33:31,588
him as a useful political prop to, like, take
722
00:33:31,612 --> 00:33:34,186
that photo in the White House. Yeah, but,
723
00:33:34,584 --> 00:33:37,408
yeah, there's so many. You know, there was this. I
724
00:33:37,432 --> 00:33:40,396
guess that's, you know, again, it was
725
00:33:41,416 --> 00:33:43,888
as far as overall, in the grand scheme of the
726
00:33:43,912 --> 00:33:46,880
35 feature films of the MCU. Yeah, it's middle of the
727
00:33:46,888 --> 00:33:48,316
pack for sure.
728
00:33:50,276 --> 00:33:53,212
I, guess, you know, but it just took a.
729
00:33:53,316 --> 00:33:55,900
These. The things that we're discussing are what would have
730
00:33:55,940 --> 00:33:58,508
made this a decent film to a great
731
00:33:58,564 --> 00:34:01,080
film. Right. And, and so,
732
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,312
you know, and when you judge it against the other, other,
733
00:34:04,416 --> 00:34:07,350
you know, other outings in this, in this
734
00:34:07,390 --> 00:34:10,342
franchise. So I do agree with you, though, to something you said
735
00:34:10,366 --> 00:34:12,890
earlier, that there are a lot of those Marvel beats,
736
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,722
that they just got to like, if
737
00:34:16,746 --> 00:34:19,250
they want this, if they want to set this franchise
738
00:34:19,330 --> 00:34:22,160
to sustain itself. not
739
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,432
only for older
740
00:34:24,576 --> 00:34:27,264
viewers like us, who've been on the ride for
741
00:34:27,352 --> 00:34:30,032
all 35 films and 40 plus
742
00:34:30,096 --> 00:34:32,976
stuff. When you factor into TV shows and also newer
743
00:34:33,008 --> 00:34:36,000
viewers, they're, they're gonna have to change some
744
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:38,992
stuff up because, and
745
00:34:39,016 --> 00:34:41,904
be, be willing to take chances again, because I
746
00:34:41,912 --> 00:34:44,780
think that's what made, you know, meeting
747
00:34:44,820 --> 00:34:47,596
the audience where they are now versus where we were,
748
00:34:47,748 --> 00:34:50,188
you know, when In Game happened.
749
00:34:50,364 --> 00:34:53,308
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah. Which has been a struggle
750
00:34:53,404 --> 00:34:55,116
during this entire phase.
751
00:34:55,228 --> 00:34:55,910
>> Will: Yeah.
752
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,688
>> Sarah : like there. Don't get me wrong, there's been some
753
00:34:58,744 --> 00:35:01,340
highlights in this phase for sure,
754
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,060
and I. But
755
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,104
it's, it's recency bias.
756
00:35:07,232 --> 00:35:10,032
Like you're always going to be compared to what's,
757
00:35:10,096 --> 00:35:12,700
what's coming out right now. And
758
00:35:13,780 --> 00:35:16,316
and it's just, it's, it's,
759
00:35:16,508 --> 00:35:19,052
it's got to feel fresh and it
760
00:35:19,076 --> 00:35:21,632
didn't, and it felt too
761
00:35:21,656 --> 00:35:24,368
derivative. And I mean, my final point
762
00:35:24,424 --> 00:35:27,216
is, like, these movies, I can
763
00:35:27,288 --> 00:35:30,000
always tell how much Time they
764
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,020
invest in their bad guys
765
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:34,540
developing. Because
766
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,314
Thanos. Thanos is one
767
00:35:38,322 --> 00:35:41,226
of the most talked about villains for a reason.
768
00:35:41,378 --> 00:35:42,810
>> Will: Yes, yes.
769
00:35:42,970 --> 00:35:45,590
>> Sarah : He took up so much time
770
00:35:46,050 --> 00:35:48,890
in. And yeah, he was teased, but
771
00:35:48,930 --> 00:35:51,630
really, Infinity War is his movie.
772
00:35:52,290 --> 00:35:54,490
His movie. It's not about the
773
00:35:54,530 --> 00:35:57,226
Avengers because we already know them. It's
774
00:35:57,258 --> 00:36:00,186
about Thanos and us understanding. And that's
775
00:36:00,218 --> 00:36:02,620
why. And then you have,
776
00:36:02,570 --> 00:36:05,188
Killmonger is another example.
777
00:36:05,284 --> 00:36:08,212
He's also talked about up there as one of the
778
00:36:08,236 --> 00:36:10,836
great villains, not because he
779
00:36:10,908 --> 00:36:13,908
overtakes the movie Black
780
00:36:13,964 --> 00:36:16,580
Panther, but because they give enough
781
00:36:16,700 --> 00:36:18,724
time where there's clear
782
00:36:18,812 --> 00:36:21,520
motivation, there's a clear,
783
00:36:22,670 --> 00:36:25,350
foil working between
784
00:36:25,970 --> 00:36:28,500
him and Chala.
785
00:36:30,650 --> 00:36:31,430
>> Will: yeah.
786
00:36:31,850 --> 00:36:34,498
>> Sarah : Yeah, I was like. I'm. No, I'm gonna say this wrong because
787
00:36:34,634 --> 00:36:37,394
I'm trying to visualize the spelling and like,
788
00:36:37,482 --> 00:36:38,386
no, don't do that.
789
00:36:38,458 --> 00:36:40,754
>> Will: Yeah, I think Tchaka, the father.
790
00:36:40,802 --> 00:36:43,362
>> Sarah : Yeah, Yeah, I was like. And then.
791
00:36:43,466 --> 00:36:46,190
Yeah, so. So again,
792
00:36:46,490 --> 00:36:49,362
like. But there was balance. And you understood
793
00:36:49,426 --> 00:36:51,150
both because it also,
794
00:36:52,250 --> 00:36:55,042
when the villain, what they're going through
795
00:36:55,226 --> 00:36:57,986
mirrors what your main
796
00:36:58,058 --> 00:37:00,280
protagonist is going through.
797
00:37:00,580 --> 00:37:03,240
Like, it just comes together
798
00:37:03,620 --> 00:37:06,200
really well. And.
799
00:37:06,500 --> 00:37:09,340
Yeah, I, I just. I. That's all.
800
00:37:09,380 --> 00:37:12,120
I really. I don't want to spend a lot of time on the Leader,
801
00:37:12,900 --> 00:37:15,788
which. Which I didn't even know he was leader
802
00:37:15,844 --> 00:37:18,076
until I listened to some, discussions about.
803
00:37:18,856 --> 00:37:21,488
>> Will: I remember vaguely that he was. That the leader was
804
00:37:21,512 --> 00:37:24,160
the villain in this. In the. In the movie.
805
00:37:24,208 --> 00:37:27,156
But, yeah, I mean, it was definitely underdeveloped.
806
00:37:27,106 --> 00:37:29,888
he was almost like. It reminded me a lot
807
00:37:29,912 --> 00:37:32,510
of Psycho Pirate, from the Arrowverse
808
00:37:32,558 --> 00:37:34,706
version of Crisis on Infinite Earth.
809
00:37:35,606 --> 00:37:38,196
It's kind of there, but not doing much.
810
00:37:39,936 --> 00:37:42,872
>> Sarah : And what he does do, you're just like, really? That's
811
00:37:42,904 --> 00:37:44,796
the best dialogue. Okay.
812
00:37:45,696 --> 00:37:48,676
Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, well,
813
00:37:49,056 --> 00:37:51,960
those are our thoughts about Captain America four
814
00:37:52,048 --> 00:37:55,006
Brave New World. And now we will
815
00:37:55,046 --> 00:37:57,646
head over to talk about Paradise.
816
00:37:57,726 --> 00:37:59,982
Episode six, you asked for
817
00:38:00,054 --> 00:38:02,638
Miracles. Xavier and Robinson
818
00:38:02,702 --> 00:38:05,566
execute their plans as to Nacho strives to maintain
819
00:38:05,646 --> 00:38:07,466
Paradise's current state.
820
00:38:08,726 --> 00:38:11,726
I'm going to say I really like this episode.
821
00:38:11,886 --> 00:38:12,626
>> Will: Yes.
822
00:38:14,566 --> 00:38:17,134
>> Sarah : Not as much as the pilot. No.
823
00:38:17,190 --> 00:38:20,002
>> Will: But it was. I. You know,
824
00:38:20,074 --> 00:38:23,042
I was like this. I will say this episode reminded
825
00:38:23,074 --> 00:38:26,050
me of, like, why I really like this, this. This series
826
00:38:26,138 --> 00:38:28,482
and the whole cat and mouse game between
827
00:38:28,554 --> 00:38:31,246
Xavier and Sam there.
828
00:38:32,246 --> 00:38:34,668
with, you know, with the events that
829
00:38:34,692 --> 00:38:37,580
transpired in this episode, I. Yeah, that.
830
00:38:37,748 --> 00:38:40,604
Yeah, that the pilot still was like chef's
831
00:38:40,620 --> 00:38:43,612
kiss, but this was. This was. You know, this is probably
832
00:38:43,644 --> 00:38:46,596
one. This is like, you know, one. A.
833
00:38:48,656 --> 00:38:49,208
Maybe.
834
00:38:49,272 --> 00:38:50,956
>> Sarah : Maybe, maybe.
835
00:38:51,846 --> 00:38:52,626
>> Will: Yeah.
836
00:38:53,686 --> 00:38:56,304
>> Sarah : Yeah, like, between the
837
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:59,056
editing that they did with the flashbacks
838
00:38:59,136 --> 00:39:01,936
and. And I really think out of all the episodes,
839
00:39:02,016 --> 00:39:04,624
I will say I.
840
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,008
Out, other than the
841
00:39:07,032 --> 00:39:09,712
flashbacks, we get specifically with him
842
00:39:09,784 --> 00:39:12,680
and his wife, because we
843
00:39:12,768 --> 00:39:15,608
finally introduced to Terry, finally
844
00:39:15,672 --> 00:39:18,392
see her, and it's very
845
00:39:18,464 --> 00:39:21,288
telling. Yep.
846
00:39:21,352 --> 00:39:24,344
Got it. Understood how this dynamic works.
847
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:25,272
Very cool.
848
00:39:25,384 --> 00:39:26,232
>> Will: Yeah.
849
00:39:26,424 --> 00:39:29,222
>> Sarah : On board for that. it was.
850
00:39:29,294 --> 00:39:31,186
It was interesting that
851
00:39:32,686 --> 00:39:35,654
in my opinion, as much as I
852
00:39:35,710 --> 00:39:38,258
love James Marsden as Cal
853
00:39:38,442 --> 00:39:40,286
and Cal and
854
00:39:40,586 --> 00:39:43,458
Xavier, because of what was
855
00:39:43,482 --> 00:39:46,286
going on in the present day, I felt like
856
00:39:47,066 --> 00:39:50,046
the flashbacks, I was like, we're in and we're out.
857
00:39:52,366 --> 00:39:54,996
I understood what they were doing and why they were doing
858
00:39:55,036 --> 00:39:57,696
that. And of course, there is
859
00:39:58,316 --> 00:40:01,140
some lines specifically about the Die Hard,
860
00:40:01,228 --> 00:40:04,100
which plays into present day events beautifully.
861
00:40:04,228 --> 00:40:07,048
And then I wrote down, what
862
00:40:07,072 --> 00:40:09,688
I thought was just a beautiful moment when he
863
00:40:09,712 --> 00:40:12,616
notices the painting, when Cal points out the
864
00:40:12,656 --> 00:40:15,448
portrait and he's like,
865
00:40:15,552 --> 00:40:18,408
I thought it was so weird that somebody would
866
00:40:18,432 --> 00:40:21,224
gift this to the White House. And I keep
867
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,356
looking at it, and then I realize
868
00:40:26,576 --> 00:40:29,352
these women are reading and they have mosquito
869
00:40:29,384 --> 00:40:32,136
nets over their faces. And it's like,
870
00:40:32,176 --> 00:40:34,996
why? But they're fooling themselves
871
00:40:35,076 --> 00:40:38,020
to think that they have any way
872
00:40:38,108 --> 00:40:40,176
to prevent the,
873
00:40:40,416 --> 00:40:42,156
cruelness of nature.
874
00:40:43,306 --> 00:40:46,210
and I was just like, between that
875
00:40:46,298 --> 00:40:49,090
and the whole cow metaphor in the present
876
00:40:49,178 --> 00:40:49,806
day,
877
00:40:53,786 --> 00:40:56,006
I can't say that they were throwaway,
878
00:40:56,426 --> 00:40:58,774
but it's just that I
879
00:40:58,830 --> 00:41:01,606
was so much more engaged
880
00:41:01,686 --> 00:41:04,182
into what was going on in present day
881
00:41:04,254 --> 00:41:07,142
throughout this that I was like, okay,
882
00:41:07,174 --> 00:41:10,106
okay, let's. We'll dip back into this whole,
883
00:41:10,526 --> 00:41:13,098
like, rundown, about the
884
00:41:13,122 --> 00:41:16,010
escape plan for when shit hits the fan.
885
00:41:16,138 --> 00:41:18,566
But, but. But let's get back to present day.
886
00:41:19,666 --> 00:41:22,086
Let's get back to what's going on here.
887
00:41:22,406 --> 00:41:25,304
and it was. It felt very. It was one of
888
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:28,312
the. A very well paced
889
00:41:28,424 --> 00:41:31,160
episode. Very well paced.
890
00:41:31,288 --> 00:41:33,384
I didn't feel like we lingered
891
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:36,440
anywhere too much. And I
892
00:41:36,448 --> 00:41:39,080
think that's why. One of the reasons why, when I
893
00:41:39,168 --> 00:41:42,152
stopped, when it ended, I was like, oh, oh, it's
894
00:41:42,184 --> 00:41:44,536
ended. Okay. Wow. Well, that
895
00:41:44,576 --> 00:41:46,984
happened. That
896
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:48,104
escalated.
897
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:51,032
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that escalated
898
00:41:51,144 --> 00:41:53,886
very, very much. So that like many of our.
899
00:41:53,926 --> 00:41:56,574
Many viewers and listeners of our show and
900
00:41:56,630 --> 00:41:59,054
others have speculated, which
901
00:41:59,110 --> 00:42:01,716
is, Terry's probably alive out there
902
00:42:01,756 --> 00:42:04,628
somewhere. But it wasn't the way that we thought, you
903
00:42:04,652 --> 00:42:07,348
know, it was. It was the way that they
904
00:42:07,452 --> 00:42:10,404
tease it, with Samantha
905
00:42:10,420 --> 00:42:12,628
using it as a. As a bargaining chip. I was like,
906
00:42:12,602 --> 00:42:15,578
okay. Because, you know, I
907
00:42:15,586 --> 00:42:17,564
was like, all right, I. I can,
908
00:42:19,514 --> 00:42:22,498
That. That begs more questions, especially some of the. Some
909
00:42:22,506 --> 00:42:25,134
of the things that we saw, you know, as
910
00:42:25,594 --> 00:42:28,578
in this episode. And also I started theory spiraling and I was like,
911
00:42:28,586 --> 00:42:30,962
okay, now, you know, going back to the Versailles
912
00:42:31,058 --> 00:42:33,362
Protocol and, And the discussions about
913
00:42:33,498 --> 00:42:36,468
Terry and Cal and, you
914
00:42:36,476 --> 00:42:39,428
know, whenever having this, you know, when Marston
915
00:42:39,476 --> 00:42:42,180
was like. When Cal was like, telling
916
00:42:42,292 --> 00:42:45,286
Xavier, look, you know, maybe she should stop going to
917
00:42:45,310 --> 00:42:46,674
Atlanta so much.
918
00:42:46,974 --> 00:42:47,446
>> Sarah : Yeah.
919
00:42:47,510 --> 00:42:50,478
>> Will: During that discussion. so I think it was one. It
920
00:42:50,486 --> 00:42:53,034
was, you know, clearly he knew something
921
00:42:53,894 --> 00:42:56,888
was going down. and, you
922
00:42:56,896 --> 00:42:59,752
know, has it been said what Terry. I can't
923
00:42:59,768 --> 00:43:02,520
recall what she. Because I was trying to think like, okay,
924
00:43:02,552 --> 00:43:04,884
Atlanta, you know, big federal president,
925
00:43:05,264 --> 00:43:08,264
just a scientist. She's a scientist. So my immediate thought
926
00:43:08,304 --> 00:43:11,230
was, okay, you know, CDC's
927
00:43:11,262 --> 00:43:14,206
there. You know, I was thinking, you know, she's, you know, she's, you know,
928
00:43:14,230 --> 00:43:16,958
she was talking about how her projects grow in and stuff.
929
00:43:17,086 --> 00:43:20,014
So I was thinking, first I thought cdc, but then I was starting to think
930
00:43:20,054 --> 00:43:22,954
more about, like, okay, if she, if, if, if
931
00:43:23,654 --> 00:43:26,606
he was still. If he did say, you know, they
932
00:43:26,630 --> 00:43:29,534
could pick her up from a, you know, pick the plane, could go pick her
933
00:43:29,574 --> 00:43:32,074
up from Atlanta. Cal saying that,
934
00:43:33,014 --> 00:43:35,920
you know, is she working with his dad
935
00:43:36,032 --> 00:43:38,752
with this Paradise Project and there. Are they. Are they
936
00:43:38,808 --> 00:43:41,164
building another, you know,
937
00:43:42,584 --> 00:43:45,520
site there? Especially when we learned that two nuclear warheads
938
00:43:45,552 --> 00:43:47,360
were like, city.
939
00:43:47,512 --> 00:43:50,208
>> Sarah : You know, I don't. I had that
940
00:43:50,296 --> 00:43:53,134
idea crossed my mind, back in, like,
941
00:43:53,174 --> 00:43:55,982
episode two or something very early
942
00:43:56,038 --> 00:43:58,794
on in this. In the show, but
943
00:43:59,674 --> 00:44:02,594
because of how he talked about, like, she
944
00:44:02,634 --> 00:44:05,394
should stop going there. I don't think they were building
945
00:44:05,514 --> 00:44:06,654
another site.
946
00:44:08,154 --> 00:44:10,802
I did what I did wonder if
947
00:44:10,858 --> 00:44:13,794
maybe her work has to do with what
948
00:44:13,834 --> 00:44:16,644
eventually happens. But,
949
00:44:17,062 --> 00:44:19,822
but from the way it was portrayed on
950
00:44:19,878 --> 00:44:22,366
screen, it seemed more like Cal
951
00:44:22,470 --> 00:44:25,166
was. No, no, she needs to
952
00:44:25,190 --> 00:44:28,028
be like. Like, it's
953
00:44:28,076 --> 00:44:30,620
imminent. The danger is imminent,
954
00:44:30,732 --> 00:44:33,324
and I think we can go get
955
00:44:33,364 --> 00:44:35,916
her, but I
956
00:44:35,940 --> 00:44:36,524
don't.
957
00:44:36,684 --> 00:44:39,644
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah. And to that point, too, that's why,
958
00:44:39,684 --> 00:44:42,456
you know, I, did think also as I, You know, so I was running down
959
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:43,944
the theory spiral.
960
00:44:44,024 --> 00:44:44,280
>> Sarah : Yeah.
961
00:44:44,312 --> 00:44:47,272
>> Will: And another. Other thing was like, okay. He was also
962
00:44:47,328 --> 00:44:50,184
telling, you know, he was given Xavier a
963
00:44:50,224 --> 00:44:53,068
notes, like, you know, I can't tell you that the end of the world is
964
00:44:53,076 --> 00:44:53,884
about to happen.
965
00:44:54,004 --> 00:44:54,668
>> Sarah : Right.
966
00:44:54,836 --> 00:44:57,564
>> Will: But, you know, but Atlanta's,
967
00:44:57,724 --> 00:45:00,700
you know, clearly whoever attacks the United
968
00:45:00,772 --> 00:45:03,676
States, they're going to, you know, it is a prime target that
969
00:45:03,700 --> 00:45:05,384
they're going to want to wipe out.
970
00:45:05,684 --> 00:45:08,588
>> Sarah : Yeah. Yeah. Well, we found out, like, two bombs
971
00:45:08,636 --> 00:45:11,052
were dropped specifically on
972
00:45:11,108 --> 00:45:13,574
Atlanta. Ah. I.
973
00:45:14,194 --> 00:45:17,066
It's going to Connect to the number on the
974
00:45:17,090 --> 00:45:19,776
cigarette. Like. Like, that's the.
975
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:22,672
That's the. There's really a reason why he
976
00:45:22,728 --> 00:45:25,712
specifically wrote that number on the cigarette. I think it
977
00:45:25,768 --> 00:45:28,704
has to do with the flight number. And.
978
00:45:28,824 --> 00:45:31,568
And I think Cal did uphold
979
00:45:31,616 --> 00:45:34,032
his promise to get her on a plane,
980
00:45:34,208 --> 00:45:36,816
but plane ended up someplace
981
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:38,924
else. Now, I will say
982
00:45:40,904 --> 00:45:43,590
I forget what point in the episode,
983
00:45:43,752 --> 00:45:46,474
but when it was brought up that Terry was
984
00:45:46,514 --> 00:45:49,434
alive, I was like, oh, so. So
985
00:45:49,474 --> 00:45:52,218
she was the girl they found the woods. So.
986
00:45:52,306 --> 00:45:54,414
So she. She was alive.
987
00:45:55,704 --> 00:45:58,392
Pace killed her. Or
988
00:45:58,528 --> 00:45:59,640
I was like, what?
989
00:45:59,712 --> 00:46:01,112
>> Will: Yeah, that's. Yeah.
990
00:46:01,208 --> 00:46:04,024
>> Sarah : But then Samantha said, and I'll help you find
991
00:46:04,064 --> 00:46:06,584
her. And like. Okay, so Samantha
992
00:46:06,664 --> 00:46:09,592
knows the plane she eventually got
993
00:46:09,648 --> 00:46:12,376
onto and willing to help.
994
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:15,304
Now. Now that's. That's the
995
00:46:15,344 --> 00:46:18,248
whole. Like, I don't
996
00:46:18,296 --> 00:46:21,064
know how much Samantha is going to be willing to help once
997
00:46:21,104 --> 00:46:23,512
she realizes that Jane has.
998
00:46:23,648 --> 00:46:26,542
Has, is going to hold Presley's
999
00:46:26,638 --> 00:46:29,454
hostage. So. So the
1000
00:46:29,494 --> 00:46:31,854
leverage is going to shift as soon as
1001
00:46:31,974 --> 00:46:34,350
Samantha realizes that. But.
1002
00:46:34,502 --> 00:46:35,214
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah.
1003
00:46:35,466 --> 00:46:37,914
>> Sarah : but I will. Can. Can we just point out.
1004
00:46:38,034 --> 00:46:40,874
Okay, can we. Can we stop
1005
00:46:40,914 --> 00:46:43,882
the discussion? Samantha did not kill
1006
00:46:43,938 --> 00:46:44,602
a cow.
1007
00:46:44,698 --> 00:46:45,402
>> Will: No, she did not.
1008
00:46:45,458 --> 00:46:46,970
>> Sarah : And I've been saying that.
1009
00:46:47,042 --> 00:46:49,946
>> Will: You were right. You were right. I was. I was
1010
00:46:49,970 --> 00:46:52,952
wrong on that one. I. I, And I was. I think I'm
1011
00:46:52,968 --> 00:46:55,848
also wrong in the sense that I'm. I'm willing to admit what I'm wrong,
1012
00:46:55,896 --> 00:46:58,586
but, you know, was she behind his death?
1013
00:46:58,754 --> 00:47:01,562
No, I don't think that is that either. So I'm putting.
1014
00:47:01,642 --> 00:47:04,194
Yeah, we can put back. We can put that one to bed.
1015
00:47:04,298 --> 00:47:07,250
>> Sarah : Yeah. Yeah. Thank God. Because I. I was tired.
1016
00:47:07,346 --> 00:47:10,018
Now can more people get on my train?
1017
00:47:10,130 --> 00:47:12,914
Okay. Because we see a sweatshirt with the flower
1018
00:47:12,978 --> 00:47:15,322
emblem, and I know that's connected to,
1019
00:47:15,962 --> 00:47:17,622
to Kane.
1020
00:47:19,002 --> 00:47:21,842
Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So can we.
1021
00:47:21,882 --> 00:47:24,722
Can we all hypothesize together? Tell me
1022
00:47:24,762 --> 00:47:26,182
that wasn't Terry.
1023
00:47:26,682 --> 00:47:29,138
>> Will: That's my first. That was my first thought.
1024
00:47:29,210 --> 00:47:32,082
Whatever. Whenever Presley mentioned.
1025
00:47:32,162 --> 00:47:35,154
And I thought about the opening scene with. Where Terry
1026
00:47:35,218 --> 00:47:37,954
and Xavier were talking about that blue.
1027
00:47:38,098 --> 00:47:41,058
Her blue jacket. M. I was just like, oh.
1028
00:47:41,090 --> 00:47:43,782
And then there's also, you know, I,
1029
00:47:44,302 --> 00:47:47,174
I was. I did see someone, like, online. Someone pointed out the
1030
00:47:47,198 --> 00:47:47,842
fact that,
1031
00:47:49,532 --> 00:47:51,472
that Kane,
1032
00:47:52,282 --> 00:47:55,066
mentioned all the secrets
1033
00:47:55,114 --> 00:47:56,176
have flowers.
1034
00:47:56,354 --> 00:47:58,632
>> Sarah : Yeah. Yes. Yes.
1035
00:47:58,972 --> 00:48:01,876
>> Will: So I'm not. Yeah, I'm not gonna take credit for it. I
1036
00:48:01,884 --> 00:48:04,884
saw someone. Internet. I can't remember who said it, but they made the point of
1037
00:48:04,908 --> 00:48:07,876
that. And, you know, and whenever they. And even like, whenever
1038
00:48:07,924 --> 00:48:10,916
the. The pad. IPad, you
1039
00:48:10,924 --> 00:48:13,446
know, we Saw the flower, the jacket. We saw the flower
1040
00:48:13,574 --> 00:48:16,374
earlier in the season whenever they went to flashback who went
1041
00:48:16,398 --> 00:48:19,286
over Building Paradise. We saw people wearing the blue jackets
1042
00:48:19,334 --> 00:48:22,248
with the flower. Yeah, so. So it's
1043
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:25,252
either, you know, so either Terry has something to do with it
1044
00:48:25,552 --> 00:48:28,504
they're killing or someone on the
1045
00:48:28,528 --> 00:48:29,772
project. But yeah.
1046
00:48:30,112 --> 00:48:32,618
>> Sarah : Yeah. so. So. So we're gonna
1047
00:48:32,650 --> 00:48:35,402
rewind back to the
1048
00:48:35,442 --> 00:48:38,282
days when Will thought I was crazy. So my
1049
00:48:38,322 --> 00:48:41,050
two theories were that I've put out there,
1050
00:48:41,186 --> 00:48:44,058
like episode one and episode two, Terry killed
1051
00:48:44,090 --> 00:48:48,540
California.
1052
00:48:48,666 --> 00:48:51,512
My other theory, though, I. I think in
1053
00:48:51,552 --> 00:48:54,344
episode two, I said this. I said, I don't think we've
1054
00:48:54,408 --> 00:48:56,680
met the person who killed Cal.
1055
00:48:56,816 --> 00:48:57,944
>> Will: Yeah, you did say that.
1056
00:48:58,048 --> 00:49:00,920
>> Sarah : Which, based on the scene
1057
00:49:01,016 --> 00:49:03,848
and. And we were kind pretty much right
1058
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:06,312
about how Presley obtained
1059
00:49:06,472 --> 00:49:09,418
the, It's still weird how
1060
00:49:09,490 --> 00:49:12,378
she. It's still weird
1061
00:49:12,410 --> 00:49:15,106
to me a little bit how they explain this.
1062
00:49:15,234 --> 00:49:17,922
So she shows up to play Wii,
1063
00:49:18,082 --> 00:49:20,930
but because she finds an iPad, she
1064
00:49:20,986 --> 00:49:23,874
leaves and takes the iPad,
1065
00:49:24,018 --> 00:49:26,902
thinking it'll have to do with her mother's
1066
00:49:27,562 --> 00:49:30,482
death. But why she
1067
00:49:30,522 --> 00:49:33,490
would think that about just a random iPad,
1068
00:49:33,586 --> 00:49:36,242
I don't know. Unless she's
1069
00:49:36,322 --> 00:49:38,622
been told. I don't know. Because
1070
00:49:39,322 --> 00:49:42,066
we know that Xavier is aware about the iPad.
1071
00:49:42,114 --> 00:49:43,812
But. Yeah,
1072
00:49:44,712 --> 00:49:47,632
Yeah, I. I felt. I think that's another reason
1073
00:49:47,672 --> 00:49:50,672
why I like this episode is I'm like, yep, not crazy.
1074
00:49:50,752 --> 00:49:52,772
Will was wrong. Finals
1075
00:49:53,592 --> 00:49:56,480
over way too many shows where he's right and
1076
00:49:56,536 --> 00:49:58,132
my theories are wrong.
1077
00:50:00,312 --> 00:50:03,296
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you know, to my credit, I
1078
00:50:03,304 --> 00:50:06,144
did say that was just too obvious that Sammy. He did
1079
00:50:06,168 --> 00:50:09,002
too, that. That she would be the killer. But I,
1080
00:50:09,308 --> 00:50:12,244
was just like. But I. I was really thinking just because of
1081
00:50:12,268 --> 00:50:15,054
her. Her, motivations and especially as we. As
1082
00:50:15,078 --> 00:50:17,758
we, you know, trying to uphold this
1083
00:50:17,910 --> 00:50:20,904
society, as we saw it, even in this episode, as
1084
00:50:20,928 --> 00:50:23,652
I alluded to with the cat and mouse game between the two of them,
1085
00:50:23,852 --> 00:50:25,872
trying to hurt. Trying to protect the secret,
1086
00:50:27,212 --> 00:50:29,988
you know, that. That was sort of where I was sort of going with that.
1087
00:50:30,060 --> 00:50:32,682
But. Yeah, I mean, but, you know, she was, you know,
1088
00:50:32,852 --> 00:50:35,774
she definitely. You know, that was one of the things I did like
1089
00:50:35,798 --> 00:50:38,606
about this episode too. You know, obviously, clearly
1090
00:50:38,734 --> 00:50:40,910
the. The Die Hard references,
1091
00:50:41,012 --> 00:50:43,346
galore. But, But also
1092
00:50:43,450 --> 00:50:45,694
just, you know, with
1093
00:50:45,994 --> 00:50:48,738
Xavier, you know, being true to. You
1094
00:50:48,746 --> 00:50:51,746
know, as Terry pointed out, with the whole. You know, I
1095
00:50:51,770 --> 00:50:54,370
love how they used to see there in the. At the principal's
1096
00:50:54,402 --> 00:50:56,784
office. you know, how, you know that his
1097
00:50:56,824 --> 00:50:59,674
temperament and him
1098
00:50:59,714 --> 00:51:02,186
knowing Sinatra, but also Sinatra, I think
1099
00:51:02,290 --> 00:51:04,906
underestimated him a Little bit as well. Thinking back to,
1100
00:51:04,930 --> 00:51:07,338
like, to the palette.
1101
00:51:07,466 --> 00:51:10,218
>> Sarah : She'S been estimating a lot of people.
1102
00:51:10,386 --> 00:51:12,906
Can I just point out one thing about that opening
1103
00:51:12,970 --> 00:51:15,146
scene, the student teacher
1104
00:51:15,210 --> 00:51:17,852
conference. what I
1105
00:51:17,908 --> 00:51:20,504
really liked about it is
1106
00:51:21,284 --> 00:51:24,124
not just that Terry with all of the
1107
00:51:24,164 --> 00:51:26,484
attitude and grace,
1108
00:51:28,024 --> 00:51:30,394
really calling things out and,
1109
00:51:32,774 --> 00:51:35,514
just being a character. But
1110
00:51:35,974 --> 00:51:38,394
typically when you see, like
1111
00:51:39,494 --> 00:51:42,142
when someone is clearly obsessed with their
1112
00:51:42,198 --> 00:51:45,054
job, it's often portrayed
1113
00:51:45,214 --> 00:51:47,924
in, TV and film
1114
00:51:48,384 --> 00:51:51,256
that because they're so intelligent and
1115
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:53,944
obsessed with their work, they neglect their
1116
00:51:53,984 --> 00:51:56,560
children. I loved that
1117
00:51:56,632 --> 00:51:59,248
little line and moment walking
1118
00:51:59,296 --> 00:52:02,048
out where Terry knew more
1119
00:52:02,136 --> 00:52:04,592
about the project because she
1120
00:52:04,648 --> 00:52:07,056
knew that. Yeah, it was a
1121
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:09,632
revenge. This was done on purpose.
1122
00:52:09,728 --> 00:52:11,104
Xavier had no idea.
1123
00:52:11,184 --> 00:52:12,164
>> Will: Yep, yep.
1124
00:52:12,904 --> 00:52:14,284
>> Sarah : I was just like,
1125
00:52:15,464 --> 00:52:17,564
that's great because you're taking.
1126
00:52:18,744 --> 00:52:21,244
We have this idea of who she is,
1127
00:52:21,644 --> 00:52:24,084
and then we're presented with a
1128
00:52:24,124 --> 00:52:26,612
character still not knowing.
1129
00:52:26,788 --> 00:52:29,636
But because of that one little line, I was
1130
00:52:29,660 --> 00:52:32,228
like, okay, okay. So. So
1131
00:52:32,316 --> 00:52:35,284
it's not. She may put. Arguably
1132
00:52:35,364 --> 00:52:38,276
put her marriage second, but she ain't putting her
1133
00:52:38,300 --> 00:52:41,300
kids second to her work. So not falling
1134
00:52:41,332 --> 00:52:43,732
into that. Like, she's not a mother who
1135
00:52:43,788 --> 00:52:46,446
abandoned them. like her
1136
00:52:46,550 --> 00:52:49,456
issue, like. And the fact that
1137
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:52,416
they're not a perfect couple either because of the
1138
00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:54,604
strain. Because there's a clear
1139
00:52:54,904 --> 00:52:57,754
strain. And But. But that. Because
1140
00:52:57,794 --> 00:53:00,682
they've been together for so long, I'm sure that
1141
00:53:00,738 --> 00:53:02,134
has kind of just.
1142
00:53:03,954 --> 00:53:05,214
Just, scar.
1143
00:53:05,214 --> 00:53:05,254
>> Will: Ah.
1144
00:53:05,666 --> 00:53:08,548
>> Sarah : Tissue covered itself up. but,
1145
00:53:08,716 --> 00:53:11,572
yeah, I. I just wanted to point out that. Hold on.
1146
00:53:11,628 --> 00:53:12,324
>> Will: That's a great point.
1147
00:53:12,364 --> 00:53:14,256
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1148
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:17,296
>> Will: Especially when you juxtapose it against Sam, Samantha and
1149
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:20,048
Sinatra as far as her, you know, especially when we see her sort of
1150
00:53:20,056 --> 00:53:22,044
backstory with her family and.
1151
00:53:22,824 --> 00:53:25,696
And as well. But. But really to your
1152
00:53:25,720 --> 00:53:28,546
point, really just, you know, really flipping the.
1153
00:53:28,682 --> 00:53:31,598
Also sort of flipping the switch too, that,
1154
00:53:32,368 --> 00:53:35,016
>> Sarah : So wait, are you saying that Sinatra
1155
00:53:35,112 --> 00:53:36,748
was job obsessed?
1156
00:53:37,178 --> 00:53:38,210
>> Will: Just a little.
1157
00:53:38,394 --> 00:53:40,882
>> Sarah : Okay, see, I don't know.
1158
00:53:41,050 --> 00:53:41,758
Because.
1159
00:53:42,138 --> 00:53:43,202
>> Will: Well, maybe. Maybe.
1160
00:53:43,250 --> 00:53:44,770
>> Sarah : Maybe grief.
1161
00:53:44,914 --> 00:53:47,810
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah. Actually, no, I think maybe. I
1162
00:53:47,834 --> 00:53:49,438
mean, maybe it's more
1163
00:53:50,298 --> 00:53:53,058
how. Yeah,
1164
00:53:53,138 --> 00:53:55,814
maybe it's, Yeah, let me. Let me rephrase that. I
1165
00:53:55,838 --> 00:53:58,742
think maybe it's more just
1166
00:53:58,782 --> 00:54:01,734
seeing how pe. How. To your point
1167
00:54:01,758 --> 00:54:04,512
about this, these character moments, as far as how people
1168
00:54:04,552 --> 00:54:07,456
react to situations even. Because all of
1169
00:54:07,464 --> 00:54:10,172
these people in paradise, for the most part,
1170
00:54:10,582 --> 00:54:13,524
are very successful people in
1171
00:54:13,548 --> 00:54:16,534
some form or fashion. you know, Cal was a little. You know, even though he
1172
00:54:16,558 --> 00:54:19,414
found his agency late in life, he, you know, he still. He
1173
00:54:19,438 --> 00:54:22,338
still was president even, though if it was manufactured by his
1174
00:54:22,362 --> 00:54:25,320
dad. But it did happen. but
1175
00:54:25,488 --> 00:54:28,256
it. Yeah, I mean, I think, you know,
1176
00:54:28,296 --> 00:54:30,636
those, those, those moments really
1177
00:54:31,096 --> 00:54:33,648
show how deep the
1178
00:54:33,832 --> 00:54:36,518
deep these characters are. you
1179
00:54:36,542 --> 00:54:38,866
know, and to your point,
1180
00:54:39,366 --> 00:54:41,566
how she, you know, how
1181
00:54:41,606 --> 00:54:44,590
Terry, you know, we've, you know, given that we've,
1182
00:54:44,638 --> 00:54:47,630
We've been told a lot about Terry but we haven't been shown a lot
1183
00:54:47,638 --> 00:54:50,526
about Terry. And I think when they did finally have the moment to show
1184
00:54:50,566 --> 00:54:53,262
her, they, they used it to its maximum
1185
00:54:53,294 --> 00:54:53,866
effect.
1186
00:54:54,246 --> 00:54:57,048
>> Sarah : Yeah. Yeah, they, We didn't get too
1187
00:54:57,072 --> 00:54:59,944
much. We got just the right amount of Terry.
1188
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:02,676
Even though we saw her in the hoodie too.
1189
00:55:05,936 --> 00:55:07,272
No, I don't know.
1190
00:55:07,344 --> 00:55:07,816
>> Will: I don't know.
1191
00:55:07,856 --> 00:55:10,648
>> Sarah : Yeah, because the one. There is a
1192
00:55:10,672 --> 00:55:13,096
flaw in this whole idea and that's just like.
1193
00:55:13,136 --> 00:55:15,636
Well, so, so she ran away.
1194
00:55:15,936 --> 00:55:18,712
She didn't at one point see Presley.
1195
00:55:18,904 --> 00:55:21,626
So. Yeah, that, That's a bit weird.
1196
00:55:21,706 --> 00:55:24,496
But I also want to point out, and we talked about
1197
00:55:24,536 --> 00:55:26,928
this last week, but I just want to bring it up again
1198
00:55:27,032 --> 00:55:29,664
because he was, he was
1199
00:55:29,720 --> 00:55:32,128
not as prominent in
1200
00:55:32,232 --> 00:55:34,686
this, in this episode.
1201
00:55:34,846 --> 00:55:37,732
But Jeremy, again, Jeremy
1202
00:55:37,764 --> 00:55:40,484
and Presley continue not to
1203
00:55:40,540 --> 00:55:42,964
behave and be written
1204
00:55:43,140 --> 00:55:46,098
as 10 year olds. Like
1205
00:55:46,282 --> 00:55:49,138
they're also. And also arguably in
1206
00:55:49,162 --> 00:55:51,474
this episode, they're, they're maybe
1207
00:55:51,570 --> 00:55:54,546
two written too maturely
1208
00:55:54,706 --> 00:55:57,554
because the fact that she admits that she was there and
1209
00:55:57,610 --> 00:56:00,018
shows him the ipod and he just accepts
1210
00:56:00,082 --> 00:56:02,722
everything like okay,
1211
00:56:02,914 --> 00:56:05,650
but. But I'm glad we don't have to spend like
1212
00:56:05,738 --> 00:56:08,658
five minutes on like what. Why did
1213
00:56:08,682 --> 00:56:11,568
you online. No, no, there was just acceptance.
1214
00:56:11,632 --> 00:56:14,016
And then she even showed him the
1215
00:56:14,056 --> 00:56:17,056
recordings that he then started to share with
1216
00:56:17,096 --> 00:56:20,016
everyone else at the end only for her then to
1217
00:56:20,056 --> 00:56:21,876
go and leave with Jane.
1218
00:56:23,266 --> 00:56:25,962
there are parts like those few beats.
1219
00:56:26,074 --> 00:56:28,938
There were a handful of
1220
00:56:28,962 --> 00:56:31,946
just parts of like we need to get this
1221
00:56:31,986 --> 00:56:34,810
character here conveniently and quickly.
1222
00:56:34,858 --> 00:56:36,686
We can't spend too much time on it.
1223
00:56:36,786 --> 00:56:39,670
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, that. That would be that if that were to flaw
1224
00:56:39,718 --> 00:56:41,974
for this episode. For me that was. That was it those
1225
00:56:42,030 --> 00:56:44,994
conveniences. because that, you know,
1226
00:56:45,050 --> 00:56:47,442
one, her Jake
1227
00:56:47,474 --> 00:56:50,306
Presley, disobeyed her father.
1228
00:56:50,466 --> 00:56:53,070
Yeah. and then, and then. But you know,
1229
00:56:53,158 --> 00:56:55,678
just. But you know, but something's got it, you know.
1230
00:56:55,702 --> 00:56:58,414
But at the same time, if that doesn't
1231
00:56:58,430 --> 00:57:01,380
happen, then you know, Jeremy doesn't get the
1232
00:57:01,518 --> 00:57:04,248
iPad and, and they don't open it up and,
1233
00:57:04,352 --> 00:57:06,516
and really, you know,
1234
00:57:07,296 --> 00:57:09,864
open this. This whole story up even
1235
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:12,088
more about what the truth of
1236
00:57:12,112 --> 00:57:14,916
paradise. you know, for. For the rest of the residents.
1237
00:57:15,416 --> 00:57:16,016
>> Sarah : Right.
1238
00:57:16,136 --> 00:57:19,056
>> Will: Yeah. So. So yeah, so yeah, I'll, you know, given
1239
00:57:19,096 --> 00:57:22,064
that the Whole. The rest of the episode was so that damn good. I. I'll.
1240
00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:23,280
I'll give him that one.
1241
00:57:23,448 --> 00:57:25,716
>> Sarah : Yeah. The,
1242
00:57:26,566 --> 00:57:29,470
To just go back to the
1243
00:57:29,638 --> 00:57:31,906
flower sweatshirt for a quick moment.
1244
00:57:32,406 --> 00:57:35,150
I did. I was thinking about it last night,
1245
00:57:35,318 --> 00:57:38,174
and I was thinking, you know who we
1246
00:57:38,230 --> 00:57:41,038
haven't Scene in a hot, hot
1247
00:57:41,142 --> 00:57:43,774
minute? We haven't Scene
1248
00:57:43,830 --> 00:57:45,026
Cal's wife.
1249
00:57:45,526 --> 00:57:47,466
>> Will: No, that's a good point.
1250
00:57:47,846 --> 00:57:50,638
>> Sarah : And based on. Now we
1251
00:57:50,662 --> 00:57:52,926
don't see a face, but based on the
1252
00:57:52,966 --> 00:57:55,786
physique, there's a part of me
1253
00:57:55,826 --> 00:57:57,722
who's like, okay, was it Cow's wife?
1254
00:57:57,834 --> 00:57:59,006
>> Will: It's a possibility.
1255
00:57:59,716 --> 00:58:01,932
>> Sarah : really? Because. Because
1256
00:58:02,084 --> 00:58:04,732
we. We. We see her this one
1257
00:58:04,804 --> 00:58:07,676
time or like, we see her like
1258
00:58:07,716 --> 00:58:08,816
twice, maybe.
1259
00:58:09,476 --> 00:58:09,932
>> Will: Yep.
1260
00:58:09,964 --> 00:58:12,844
>> Sarah : And they have. It's. She's arguably one of the few
1261
00:58:12,900 --> 00:58:15,740
characters we haven't delved into at all.
1262
00:58:15,908 --> 00:58:16,576
>> Will: Yeah.
1263
00:58:16,894 --> 00:58:19,790
>> Sarah : And. And Jeremy's just roaming around town.
1264
00:58:19,958 --> 00:58:20,500
>> Will: Yeah.
1265
00:58:20,598 --> 00:58:22,840
>> Sarah : Yeah, that's.
1266
00:58:22,888 --> 00:58:25,720
>> Will: That's. That's a good. That's a good flag as far as characters
1267
00:58:25,768 --> 00:58:28,728
that we. You know that. Because, you know, again, there is
1268
00:58:28,752 --> 00:58:30,226
motive, with the affair.
1269
00:58:30,806 --> 00:58:33,646
>> Sarah : Yeah. Well, I. I
1270
00:58:33,686 --> 00:58:36,306
got the sense when she, like that. That's.
1271
00:58:37,686 --> 00:58:40,638
I get this sense that. That, like, she was
1272
00:58:40,662 --> 00:58:43,662
living in a separate house. They. They had already
1273
00:58:43,814 --> 00:58:45,636
in their minds divorced.
1274
00:58:45,766 --> 00:58:46,456
>> Will: Yeah.
1275
00:58:46,616 --> 00:58:49,384
>> Sarah : So. So I don't think it would have anything to do with
1276
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:52,036
Robinson. It might.
1277
00:58:54,736 --> 00:58:57,256
I. It might have more to do
1278
00:58:57,296 --> 00:59:00,280
with the same similar reasons
1279
00:59:00,328 --> 00:59:03,128
to why Xavier is blowing
1280
00:59:03,192 --> 00:59:05,592
stuff up. Like. Like.
1281
00:59:05,744 --> 00:59:07,716
And. And because
1282
00:59:09,776 --> 00:59:12,196
I wonder how.
1283
00:59:13,536 --> 00:59:16,344
Like. And maybe that's why season two has already
1284
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:19,112
been written because if it. If it was her, we're
1285
00:59:19,144 --> 00:59:22,120
gonna get the full backstory between her
1286
00:59:22,208 --> 00:59:24,888
and Cal and. And the falling
1287
00:59:24,952 --> 00:59:27,858
out, in the second season.
1288
00:59:27,962 --> 00:59:30,850
But. But it's definitely something.
1289
00:59:30,938 --> 00:59:33,690
An avenue that, The more I think
1290
00:59:33,698 --> 00:59:36,554
about it has not been explored. but was
1291
00:59:36,610 --> 00:59:39,498
definitely mentioned and should be a big part of
1292
00:59:39,522 --> 00:59:42,240
this. But clearly is it at the moment for
1293
00:59:42,378 --> 00:59:44,308
I. Which I think is purposeful.
1294
00:59:44,452 --> 00:59:47,364
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah. I mean. Yeah. The one thing I do. Yeah. This series
1295
00:59:47,420 --> 00:59:50,420
has done a good job of is they don't drop things out there and
1296
00:59:50,428 --> 00:59:53,300
just leave them. Leave them hanging. It's all there for a
1297
00:59:53,308 --> 00:59:56,196
purpose. Either red hair. Yeah. Either. Either red herring
1298
00:59:56,276 --> 00:59:59,124
or for the overall. The bigger
1299
00:59:59,140 --> 01:00:01,380
mystery here.
1300
01:00:01,548 --> 01:00:04,484
>> Sarah : Yeah. The. The last
1301
01:00:04,540 --> 01:00:07,466
character I want to bring up, which I don't really
1302
01:00:07,506 --> 01:00:10,154
want to. I just have to mention to it, is
1303
01:00:10,210 --> 01:00:12,260
that, Okay. Dr.
1304
01:00:12,388 --> 01:00:14,772
Tharabi Gabriella
1305
01:00:14,964 --> 01:00:17,204
continues to be my most
1306
01:00:17,260 --> 01:00:20,096
annoying character in this show.
1307
01:00:21,516 --> 01:00:24,468
Just ever since we had that conversation when
1308
01:00:24,492 --> 01:00:27,476
I called her a pickpie girl. That's all I see when she's on
1309
01:00:27,516 --> 01:00:30,212
screen in this episode. She just delved more
1310
01:00:30,284 --> 01:00:31,376
into that
1311
01:00:33,436 --> 01:00:36,356
and then also like, what. What was that
1312
01:00:36,396 --> 01:00:39,274
all about? So you're telling me Sam
1313
01:00:39,370 --> 01:00:42,340
not only is, spying on people,
1314
01:00:42,508 --> 01:00:45,476
but has the cameras in
1315
01:00:45,516 --> 01:00:46,740
people's bathrooms?
1316
01:00:46,868 --> 01:00:47,656
>> Will: Yeah.
1317
01:00:48,316 --> 01:00:51,140
>> Sarah : Great. Samantha. M. You're dirty, dirty, dirty
1318
01:00:51,188 --> 01:00:53,972
girl. Like, what are you doing peeping on people
1319
01:00:54,044 --> 01:00:55,604
while they're in shower?
1320
01:00:55,780 --> 01:00:58,564
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah. She is the
1321
01:00:58,620 --> 01:01:01,380
ultimate control freak. I mean, yeah, I
1322
01:01:01,388 --> 01:01:04,114
mean. Yeah, I mean, yeah. The.
1323
01:01:04,170 --> 01:01:06,978
The funny thing with, you know, we talked about, you
1324
01:01:07,002 --> 01:01:09,618
know, Gabriella and whether or not she, you
1325
01:01:09,642 --> 01:01:11,686
know, her wild card factor.
1326
01:01:12,246 --> 01:01:15,086
and you know, and it's interesting as. As
1327
01:01:15,126 --> 01:01:17,982
things were just sort of falling apart, there
1328
01:01:18,134 --> 01:01:20,900
it was. Xavier's plan was just, you
1329
01:01:20,908 --> 01:01:23,618
know, M. With the, you
1330
01:01:23,642 --> 01:01:26,370
know, the three body problem, teasing her in the
1331
01:01:26,378 --> 01:01:28,006
sky messaging.
1332
01:01:28,936 --> 01:01:31,854
I I really was really struck by
1333
01:01:31,910 --> 01:01:34,638
their. Their motivations as far as why they want to keep
1334
01:01:34,742 --> 01:01:35,746
paradise,
1335
01:01:37,306 --> 01:01:40,146
going as far as, you know, you know, Sam for her
1336
01:01:40,186 --> 01:01:43,026
obvious reasons. But then the Robbie, you know, she, you know,
1337
01:01:43,066 --> 01:01:45,650
her whole thing was like this, this was her experiment.
1338
01:01:45,698 --> 01:01:48,206
And, and you know, whenever she was like
1339
01:01:48,826 --> 01:01:51,362
motivating Sam not to like, shut this guy
1340
01:01:51,394 --> 01:01:54,046
off to, you know, to reboot the system,
1341
01:01:54,376 --> 01:01:55,648
you know, so.
1342
01:01:55,832 --> 01:01:58,768
>> Sarah : I don't think that's like. I. I think they have
1343
01:01:58,792 --> 01:02:01,504
the same reasons for wanting to keep paradise
1344
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:04,480
going, but she was the voice
1345
01:02:04,528 --> 01:02:06,976
of reason and saying if you do
1346
01:02:07,016 --> 01:02:09,356
this, this is what will happen.
1347
01:02:09,736 --> 01:02:12,606
>> Will: Yeah, I mean, I mean. Yeah, I mean, I think they both. They
1348
01:02:12,630 --> 01:02:15,086
both wanted to keep going, but I think. I think their
1349
01:02:15,110 --> 01:02:17,274
motivations are. Are
1350
01:02:17,894 --> 01:02:19,194
similar but different.
1351
01:02:20,594 --> 01:02:23,578
I mean, yeah, I mean, you know, well, Sam I think just wants to keep it
1352
01:02:23,586 --> 01:02:26,282
going just because she just doesn't want all the truth to come out
1353
01:02:26,338 --> 01:02:29,254
that you know, that
1354
01:02:29,294 --> 01:02:32,278
people are alive on the outside because that was the big lie
1355
01:02:32,326 --> 01:02:35,238
that they had to tell everyone to like, just to. To,
1356
01:02:35,326 --> 01:02:38,166
you know, to then go to the
1357
01:02:38,190 --> 01:02:41,142
Robbie's plan of like, we just gotta accept
1358
01:02:41,198 --> 01:02:44,184
this, and make a new. And make a new world. So
1359
01:02:44,224 --> 01:02:46,966
I think. So the motivations. I think the Robbie could, you know,
1360
01:02:47,080 --> 01:02:49,786
whether or not people are alive on the surface or not. I don't know if
1361
01:02:49,810 --> 01:02:52,794
that mama. It does play into her like, you know,
1362
01:02:52,834 --> 01:02:55,306
keeping this, you know, keeping this, you
1363
01:02:55,330 --> 01:02:55,894
know,
1364
01:02:58,034 --> 01:03:00,214
this program going forward. But
1365
01:03:00,824 --> 01:03:03,648
But, you know, yeah.
1366
01:03:03,654 --> 01:03:06,496
Ah, you know, so I think they still have
1367
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:09,456
different motivations for, you know, for. For doing it because I mean, at the
1368
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:11,644
end of the day, yeah, she is the voice to reason
1369
01:03:13,074 --> 01:03:15,786
But I think it was just for, you know, but her motivations were
1370
01:03:15,810 --> 01:03:18,794
different. And, you know, but also, she also sort of got to the. She also
1371
01:03:18,834 --> 01:03:21,738
figured out what Xavier was trying to tell her as far as the story about, you
1372
01:03:21,746 --> 01:03:24,554
know, pigs. Pigs. And, you know, being led to.
1373
01:03:24,594 --> 01:03:27,228
Via, What was it? The led. To the slaughter?
1374
01:03:27,340 --> 01:03:27,868
Yeah.
1375
01:03:27,980 --> 01:03:28,908
>> Sarah : To the slaughter.
1376
01:03:29,020 --> 01:03:29,404
>> Will: Yeah.
1377
01:03:29,468 --> 01:03:31,564
>> Sarah : Yeah. I. I don't know if I can get
1378
01:03:31,588 --> 01:03:34,406
100% sure or, on board with the
1379
01:03:34,478 --> 01:03:37,158
motivation thing, but maybe it's just because I'm
1380
01:03:37,254 --> 01:03:39,270
dealing with semantics. But,
1381
01:03:40,730 --> 01:03:43,410
Yeah, I. I
1382
01:03:43,450 --> 01:03:45,430
just. She's the worst.
1383
01:03:46,970 --> 01:03:49,730
Like, I love how will continues. You
1384
01:03:49,770 --> 01:03:52,722
continue to, like, want to make Sam
1385
01:03:52,786 --> 01:03:55,570
out to be this awful person. And
1386
01:03:55,610 --> 01:03:58,162
then. And I'm like, no, she's not that bad. And
1387
01:03:58,186 --> 01:04:01,026
then comes to doctor therapy.
1388
01:04:01,058 --> 01:04:02,390
I'm like, the worst.
1389
01:04:03,450 --> 01:04:06,208
>> Will: Yeah, no, yeah, they're both. They're both bad for different
1390
01:04:06,264 --> 01:04:09,194
reasons. I mean, I
1391
01:04:09,202 --> 01:04:11,994
will say that, you know, they do. You know, I think
1392
01:04:12,162 --> 01:04:14,880
to. To your point, though, you know, they are. They do.
1393
01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:17,568
Even through all the bad things that
1394
01:04:17,704 --> 01:04:20,256
Sam does, I mean, they're still trying to retain her
1395
01:04:20,328 --> 01:04:21,220
humanity.
1396
01:04:22,840 --> 01:04:25,664
>> Sarah : I understand why she's doing it. I
1397
01:04:25,752 --> 01:04:26,940
don't understand
1398
01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:30,368
Gabriella. And if I
1399
01:04:30,424 --> 01:04:33,216
did, I would not be
1400
01:04:33,288 --> 01:04:36,232
as. Arguably, I would not be as
1401
01:04:36,256 --> 01:04:39,080
annoyed. But it's when I'm like. I don't.
1402
01:04:39,240 --> 01:04:41,928
Like. Like you were saying before, her motivation.
1403
01:04:42,024 --> 01:04:44,888
Why? So she can keep. Like, she
1404
01:04:44,944 --> 01:04:47,432
doesn't know that people are alive on the
1405
01:04:47,456 --> 01:04:50,248
outside. So she's still, like.
1406
01:04:50,304 --> 01:04:52,744
She's still under this guise
1407
01:04:52,872 --> 01:04:55,672
that like this world. So
1408
01:04:55,696 --> 01:04:58,360
her motivations are not necessarily
1409
01:04:58,440 --> 01:05:00,736
to, like. She doesn't have a
1410
01:05:00,848 --> 01:05:02,928
devious motivation there.
1411
01:05:03,064 --> 01:05:06,012
>> Will: And that's, Yeah, I mean, that's. That's where I was getting at. I mean,
1412
01:05:06,036 --> 01:05:08,636
I think that's where Sam and the Robbie's
1413
01:05:08,668 --> 01:05:11,612
motivations diverge. Because I think back to the
1414
01:05:11,636 --> 01:05:12,560
conversation
1415
01:05:14,020 --> 01:05:16,636
and whenever, you know, when Xavier
1416
01:05:16,748 --> 01:05:18,652
and. And the Robbie.
1417
01:05:18,796 --> 01:05:20,492
>> Sarah : Social architect. Yep.
1418
01:05:20,556 --> 01:05:23,388
>> Will: Social architect. Yeah. I mean, that. That's her life's work. I mean,
1419
01:05:23,444 --> 01:05:26,328
it's. It's a. It's an academic exercise for her
1420
01:05:26,404 --> 01:05:28,848
to see if we can make this thing work,
1421
01:05:28,904 --> 01:05:31,536
whereas Sam's
1422
01:05:31,648 --> 01:05:34,624
motivations are, you
1423
01:05:34,632 --> 01:05:37,312
know. You know. You know, different from
1424
01:05:37,336 --> 01:05:39,728
that. It's not about social architecture. It's just.
1425
01:05:39,784 --> 01:05:42,720
It's. It's to keep this, you know, this
1426
01:05:42,760 --> 01:05:45,232
dream that she had come up with, you know, as sort of
1427
01:05:45,256 --> 01:05:48,240
memorial and to her. To her. Her
1428
01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:51,152
son, in some regards, alive. Because when
1429
01:05:51,176 --> 01:05:54,002
you think about everything that's planned in that, you know, when
1430
01:05:54,026 --> 01:05:56,690
we think back to the Horse and all the other
1431
01:05:56,730 --> 01:05:59,634
architecture around the city. I mean, it's, you know, it's
1432
01:05:59,682 --> 01:06:01,590
reminders for her about her son.
1433
01:06:04,250 --> 01:06:04,866
>> Sarah : Yeah.
1434
01:06:04,978 --> 01:06:07,684
>> Will: Yeah, but I, You know, I mean, there's many ways you can
1435
01:06:07,692 --> 01:06:10,676
interpret it. I mean, I'm saying. I'm not saying I'm right. I'm just. It's just. I think there's
1436
01:06:10,708 --> 01:06:12,244
many ways you can look at it.
1437
01:06:12,412 --> 01:06:13,160
>> Sarah : Yeah.
1438
01:06:16,380 --> 01:06:18,918
>> Will: But, But, yeah, it's like. Yeah, but I'm, trying to think there's any
1439
01:06:18,942 --> 01:06:21,610
other major points. I mean,
1440
01:06:21,698 --> 01:06:22,886
Kane was just
1441
01:06:24,546 --> 01:06:27,338
served as. Yeah, yeah, he just
1442
01:06:27,362 --> 01:06:30,298
served. He basically was the iPad opener. And then, you know,
1443
01:06:30,322 --> 01:06:33,146
and it's, you know, all the billionaires got off to their, you know, got
1444
01:06:33,186 --> 01:06:36,138
to their. To their bunkers and. And, you know,
1445
01:06:36,162 --> 01:06:39,130
it was also just really cool to sort of seeing, like, you
1446
01:06:39,138 --> 01:06:41,946
know, Xavier's. How many people have Xavier's back.
1447
01:06:41,986 --> 01:06:44,730
And as far as pulling the team together, because I was also worried
1448
01:06:44,778 --> 01:06:47,405
throughout the episode was one of those agents gonna, like, you know,
1449
01:06:47,445 --> 01:06:50,012
turn, turn on. Turn on
1450
01:06:50,084 --> 01:06:52,982
them, and. And. And spill to tip
1451
01:06:53,014 --> 01:06:55,666
off Jane as far as where. Where they are and what they were doing.
1452
01:06:56,446 --> 01:06:59,206
>> Sarah : For some reason, I didn't have that worry. I
1453
01:06:59,246 --> 01:07:02,072
liked the reason. I like the explanation for
1454
01:07:02,144 --> 01:07:05,096
why Robinson didn't bring Jane, and I thought
1455
01:07:05,136 --> 01:07:06,200
that was clever.
1456
01:07:06,328 --> 01:07:06,952
>> Will: Yeah.
1457
01:07:07,064 --> 01:07:09,704
>> Sarah : Not convenient, but, like, okay, that makes
1458
01:07:09,760 --> 01:07:12,713
sense of why she wouldn't. I was mainly
1459
01:07:12,745 --> 01:07:15,097
worried Xavier was gonna call in
1460
01:07:15,137 --> 01:07:18,105
Jane. Like, that's
1461
01:07:18,121 --> 01:07:19,837
the only. Nobody else.
1462
01:07:22,337 --> 01:07:25,193
Yeah, he was clearly focused on.
1463
01:07:25,265 --> 01:07:27,915
On other. Other things. and
1464
01:07:27,987 --> 01:07:30,907
after Robinson said what she said, he was like, okay, that's
1465
01:07:30,923 --> 01:07:33,469
fine. but. But
1466
01:07:33,509 --> 01:07:36,061
yeah, I. Yeah, we'll. We'll
1467
01:07:36,125 --> 01:07:38,467
see. we got two more episodes
1468
01:07:38,563 --> 01:07:40,913
left. Is that right? Yeah, Seven.
1469
01:07:41,001 --> 01:07:42,417
>> Will: Yeah. Seven. Eight. Yeah.
1470
01:07:42,513 --> 01:07:45,035
>> Sarah : All right. and on that note,
1471
01:07:45,227 --> 01:07:48,187
Will, why don't you tell our listeners where they can find you?
1472
01:07:48,323 --> 01:07:51,229
>> Will: Yes, you can find me on all the socials at Will and,
1473
01:07:51,179 --> 01:07:53,171
Polk W, I L, L, M, M P.
