>> Sarah : Greetings nerds. This is Scene N Nerd. I'm your host, Sarah Belmont,
2
00:00:03,352 --> 00:00:06,184

Month.
8
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,966
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah. We, It is Women's History
9
00:00:18,022 --> 00:00:20,664
Month and I, look forward to
10
00:00:20,848 --> 00:00:23,692
something we started during Black History Month was we
11
00:00:24,762 --> 00:00:27,702
started doing some profiles and with notable
12
00:00:28,022 --> 00:00:30,796
folks in the entertainment industry and
13
00:00:30,832 --> 00:00:33,804
also with the
14
00:00:33,828 --> 00:00:36,524
way I was acting, directing in front of the camera, behind the
15
00:00:36,548 --> 00:00:39,152
camera. So I found a couple,
16
00:00:39,742 --> 00:00:42,566
to start off this month. I found some of
17
00:00:42,574 --> 00:00:44,882
the early days of filmmaking, some
18
00:00:45,582 --> 00:00:48,366
filmmakers, who wanted to profile
19
00:00:48,414 --> 00:00:51,382
this week. And the first one is Alice Key
20
00:00:51,438 --> 00:00:54,196
Block. she was a fridge. the
21
00:00:54,220 --> 00:00:56,980
world's. The world's first female
22
00:00:57,012 --> 00:00:58,836
director. She was actually born in Paris in
23
00:00:58,860 --> 00:01:01,524
1873. And she
24
00:01:01,564 --> 00:01:04,526
was She started in the film business as a secretary
25
00:01:04,590 --> 00:01:06,914
to the Gamon Film Company. But
26
00:01:07,974 --> 00:01:10,794
over just being a part of the
27
00:01:10,944 --> 00:01:13,754
around the business and stuff, she was
28
00:01:14,374 --> 00:01:17,094
very interested in. And it got inspiration
29
00:01:17,174 --> 00:01:20,070
from a cinema graph from the Lumiere
30
00:01:20,102 --> 00:01:22,966
Brothers. And she urged a boss of her company
31
00:01:23,070 --> 00:01:26,006
to let her use a camera
32
00:01:26,070 --> 00:01:28,870
to make a movie of her own. And so she
33
00:01:28,942 --> 00:01:31,862
actually created one of the first narrative films called
34
00:01:31,998 --> 00:01:34,732
La Fe, which was
35
00:01:34,868 --> 00:01:37,852
translated to cabbage fairy in 1896. And
36
00:01:37,908 --> 00:01:40,796
it was one of 700 films made under that,
37
00:01:40,900 --> 00:01:43,600
the studio Gamond's name. But she also
38
00:01:43,656 --> 00:01:46,352
developed techniques like split screen matching sound to
39
00:01:46,392 --> 00:01:49,328
film. And eventually And she also
40
00:01:49,364 --> 00:01:52,250
created the Close Up. So she eventually moved
41
00:01:52,282 --> 00:01:55,234
to New York and created her own studios,
42
00:01:55,514 --> 00:01:58,492
that was called Select Studios and it was
43
00:01:58,516 --> 00:02:01,164
one of the largest ones before Hollywood
44
00:02:01,212 --> 00:02:04,202
really, you know, really took
45
00:02:04,226 --> 00:02:07,016
over the industry and stuff. So But, yeah,
46
00:02:07,048 --> 00:02:09,832
that was. That was one filmmaker I wanted to
47
00:02:09,856 --> 00:02:12,310
profile. And then a second one was Margaret,
48
00:02:12,638 --> 00:02:15,408
Booth. And she was was one of the first
49
00:02:15,464 --> 00:02:18,328
film editors. And she
50
00:02:18,464 --> 00:02:21,400
worked on the film Birth of a Nation, which I think many people
51
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,392
are familiar with about from D.W. griffith. That was
52
00:02:24,416 --> 00:02:27,338
in 1915. and then she just continued
53
00:02:27,354 --> 00:02:30,122
to work her way up in the studio system and she did
54
00:02:30,146 --> 00:02:32,862
receive an Oscar nomination for Mutiny M on the
55
00:02:32,886 --> 00:02:35,790
Bounty, the 1935 film. So those
56
00:02:35,830 --> 00:02:38,478
are just a couple profiles wanted to share this week before we
57
00:02:38,534 --> 00:02:40,650
dive into paradise and.
58
00:02:41,190 --> 00:02:42,530
And Daredevil.
59
00:02:43,990 --> 00:02:46,890
>> Sarah : Awesome. very cool. what did
60
00:02:46,930 --> 00:02:48,990
you have any takeaways from the Oscars?
61
00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:52,632
>> Will: honestly, you know, I. Honestly not really. I
62
00:02:52,656 --> 00:02:55,080
Didn't, watch Charlie, the films this year
63
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,134
or this past? This past year. I, I
64
00:02:58,142 --> 00:03:01,012
know a lot of folks are disappointed that, to me, Moore did not
65
00:03:01,036 --> 00:03:03,940
win for the, the Substance. I know you watched that one, but.
66
00:03:04,060 --> 00:03:06,772
>> Sarah : Honestly, I haven't seen the
67
00:03:06,796 --> 00:03:07,348
Substance.
68
00:03:07,444 --> 00:03:08,740
>> Will: Oh, I thought you did.
69
00:03:08,860 --> 00:03:09,892
>> Sarah : Oh, no, no.
70
00:03:09,996 --> 00:03:12,932
>> Will: Oh, I thought. Oh, was it a Nora that you watched? Which one was
71
00:03:12,956 --> 00:03:13,140
it?
72
00:03:13,180 --> 00:03:16,116
>> Sarah : No, I didn't watch either of those. I watched
73
00:03:16,148 --> 00:03:19,012
the Timothy Chalamet one. That's, oh, that's My
74
00:03:19,036 --> 00:03:20,468
mom dragged me to.
75
00:03:20,604 --> 00:03:23,480
>> Will: Oh, yeah, yeah, I was working my way to that one. Yeah.
76
00:03:23,500 --> 00:03:26,382
yeah, I knew you watched one of the films. yeah. But, I thought for
77
00:03:26,406 --> 00:03:29,342
what some reason, I know we talked about the Substance, so maybe that's why
78
00:03:29,366 --> 00:03:30,590
I thought you'll watch that one too.
79
00:03:30,630 --> 00:03:31,278
>> Sarah : Yeah.
80
00:03:31,454 --> 00:03:32,894
>> Will: Big into body horror.
81
00:03:33,022 --> 00:03:35,854
>> Sarah : I, I, I was, I was questioning
82
00:03:35,902 --> 00:03:38,734
why it was for Golden Globes nominated
83
00:03:38,782 --> 00:03:41,470
under comedy. and musical.
84
00:03:43,970 --> 00:03:46,906
Interesting. We're stretching dark humor. I mean, we've
85
00:03:46,938 --> 00:03:49,880
always stretched dark humor, but still, still, it's just
86
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,472
like. Yeah, yeah, I,
87
00:03:52,576 --> 00:03:55,160
it's because I, I,
88
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,976
I tend not to watch movies as much
89
00:03:58,048 --> 00:04:00,890
these days. Amora is on my list, though, of
90
00:04:00,930 --> 00:04:03,866
something once it becomes reasonably priced
91
00:04:03,898 --> 00:04:06,634
to rent or it goes on a streaming service I'm
92
00:04:06,762 --> 00:04:09,658
about to put on and just check it out because I
93
00:04:09,714 --> 00:04:12,544
have heard good things. I think it's,
94
00:04:12,672 --> 00:04:15,574
it's the curse of. Well, once you're a
95
00:04:15,582 --> 00:04:18,294
winner and the fact that you won, like, the major
96
00:04:18,382 --> 00:04:21,334
categories, you swept them, suddenly
97
00:04:21,382 --> 00:04:23,606
everyone starts to not like you.
98
00:04:23,758 --> 00:04:24,490
>> Will: Yeah.
99
00:04:24,830 --> 00:04:27,750
>> Sarah : You're no longer. Yeah, you're no longer the
100
00:04:27,790 --> 00:04:29,970
under the dog that you once were.
101
00:04:30,430 --> 00:04:31,610
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah.
102
00:04:31,950 --> 00:04:34,950
>> Sarah : My God. But, but also
103
00:04:35,070 --> 00:04:37,126
all of the controversy
104
00:04:37,318 --> 00:04:39,690
surrounding the competitors,
105
00:04:40,630 --> 00:04:43,598
I, I kind of figured it was gonna go that way, and
106
00:04:43,654 --> 00:04:46,558
I kind of, I kind of figured. For
107
00:04:46,614 --> 00:04:49,086
some reason I
108
00:04:49,158 --> 00:04:51,694
knew, I, I had a feeling that
109
00:04:51,782 --> 00:04:54,640
Timothy, Timothy wasn't gonna win. and
110
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,458
Adrian was gonna take it. and,
111
00:04:57,594 --> 00:05:00,050
and, and that's, that's what happened.
112
00:05:00,210 --> 00:05:03,106
Just. And, and having seen a complete
113
00:05:03,138 --> 00:05:06,132
unknown, I, he's
114
00:05:06,196 --> 00:05:08,640
good. He's not great.
115
00:05:09,820 --> 00:05:12,452
I know in, his, I think it was the SAG
116
00:05:12,500 --> 00:05:15,460
Actor award he won. He mentioned in a speech how
117
00:05:15,484 --> 00:05:18,308
he's on the path for greatness. And I, I
118
00:05:18,348 --> 00:05:21,284
understand that, and I can see that in the works, that
119
00:05:21,356 --> 00:05:23,860
the projects he's choosing to do and all of
120
00:05:23,884 --> 00:05:26,740
that, but that was
121
00:05:26,764 --> 00:05:27,728
not the role.
122
00:05:30,188 --> 00:05:33,188
That was not. Because all anyone will compare you
123
00:05:33,228 --> 00:05:36,018
to is Joaquin Phoenix in.
124
00:05:36,478 --> 00:05:39,238
And that's a very hard act to
125
00:05:39,278 --> 00:05:42,036
follow. and it's Arguably a much more interesting story
126
00:05:42,092 --> 00:05:45,088
than a complete unknown. So.
127
00:05:45,388 --> 00:05:48,182
Yeah, it, I, I again
128
00:05:48,270 --> 00:05:51,094
did not follow as much. I did. I did.
129
00:05:51,166 --> 00:05:53,904
I always, watch Kieran
130
00:05:53,936 --> 00:05:56,928
Culkin's speeches because they're hilarious. And I
131
00:05:56,968 --> 00:05:59,814
love how, his wife really told. Said that
132
00:05:59,886 --> 00:06:02,642
out loud. And he has witnesses that if, they'd
133
00:06:02,690 --> 00:06:05,490
try for four, as long as he won an
134
00:06:05,514 --> 00:06:06,358
Oscar.
135
00:06:07,018 --> 00:06:08,322
>> Will: Well, there you go.
136
00:06:08,490 --> 00:06:11,442
>> Sarah : Yeah, he won the Emmy. And he was like, well, now.
137
00:06:11,530 --> 00:06:14,242
Now we're gonna try for three. And apparently
138
00:06:14,370 --> 00:06:17,026
that same night she said, well, we'll go for
139
00:06:17,082 --> 00:06:20,050
four if you win an Oscar. And then the next year he
140
00:06:20,074 --> 00:06:21,666
did, so. Wow.
141
00:06:21,842 --> 00:06:24,642
>> Will: Wow. Well, that's awesome. Yeah. Yeah, really, I
142
00:06:24,650 --> 00:06:27,410
guess, really the only thing I did watch as
143
00:06:27,434 --> 00:06:30,384
far as far as nominated films,
144
00:06:30,416 --> 00:06:33,208
I did watch Wallace. I finally did watch Wallace and Gromit,
145
00:06:33,498 --> 00:06:36,448
Avengers, Most Foul, which was nominated in the,
146
00:06:37,028 --> 00:06:39,922
animated, category, which I did see that, flow.
147
00:06:40,050 --> 00:06:42,658
Won that one. But. But
148
00:06:42,698 --> 00:06:45,570
beyond. Yeah, so beyond that, you
149
00:06:45,594 --> 00:06:48,398
know, I was going to try to watch Wicked, but like, you,
150
00:06:48,468 --> 00:06:51,466
when I, When I went to Amazon to, to rent it, it
151
00:06:51,474 --> 00:06:54,020
was still, you know, know, very,
152
00:06:54,076 --> 00:06:56,900
very like, I'll just wait. I'll just wait
153
00:06:56,916 --> 00:06:59,764
till it comes down or goes to get on
154
00:06:59,788 --> 00:07:02,724
the normal. Get to a normal stream, you
155
00:07:02,748 --> 00:07:04,592
know, or there's a.
156
00:07:05,452 --> 00:07:08,436
>> Sarah : Something. Because those, those
157
00:07:08,524 --> 00:07:11,524
renting prices, you're just like, might as well
158
00:07:11,548 --> 00:07:14,372
buy it. M. I could. I could have gone to the
159
00:07:14,412 --> 00:07:17,012
theater. I don't understand here,
160
00:07:17,132 --> 00:07:19,992
like, exactly. It's so
161
00:07:20,032 --> 00:07:22,872
bizarre. But. But I think they want you
162
00:07:22,912 --> 00:07:25,880
to buy it. So they're gonna have high. And the fact
163
00:07:25,936 --> 00:07:28,930
that they're being released, being available
164
00:07:29,066 --> 00:07:31,896
on those services, granted
165
00:07:31,944 --> 00:07:34,840
for a fee, like such a short
166
00:07:34,896 --> 00:07:37,412
time after they were in theaters. I mean,
167
00:07:37,712 --> 00:07:40,664
remember in the years of Blockbuster, you had
168
00:07:40,688 --> 00:07:43,442
to wait a good six, four months
169
00:07:43,562 --> 00:07:46,194
until you could. And. And all of that.
170
00:07:46,298 --> 00:07:47,502
So. But,
171
00:07:48,882 --> 00:07:51,722
I, I keep. I can't. For the last few
172
00:07:51,762 --> 00:07:54,250
weeks, I kept wanting to bring up this show,
173
00:07:54,306 --> 00:07:57,114
but kept forgetting until right after we
174
00:07:57,138 --> 00:07:59,690
stopped recording. But I did
175
00:07:59,746 --> 00:08:02,634
recently get into the show on Paramount plus
176
00:08:02,698 --> 00:08:04,342
called School, Spirits.
177
00:08:05,722 --> 00:08:08,718
>> Will: Yeah, I've heard about the show. Haven't watched it, but
178
00:08:08,890 --> 00:08:10,310
yeah, I don't.
179
00:08:10,326 --> 00:08:11,682
>> Sarah : Think it's your type of show.
180
00:08:13,742 --> 00:08:16,402
And, And I just say that knowing. Well,
181
00:08:17,902 --> 00:08:20,774
I, I think it's a good show. I mean, it kept
182
00:08:20,838 --> 00:08:23,442
me on. I binged the first season.
183
00:08:24,052 --> 00:08:26,984
the second season at that time had already started and then
184
00:08:27,008 --> 00:08:29,688
I got caught up and it just wrapped its second
185
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,584
season yesterday. And it's funny,
186
00:08:32,648 --> 00:08:35,464
When I was watching the finale this morning, I was thinking to
187
00:08:35,488 --> 00:08:37,932
myself, I'm like this is the last episode.
188
00:08:38,272 --> 00:08:41,144
How are they gonna go to season three? I'm not sure.
189
00:08:41,168 --> 00:08:43,608
But they, they figured out a way very
190
00:08:43,680 --> 00:08:46,504
cleverly, albeit I kind of figured that was
191
00:08:46,528 --> 00:08:47,412
gonna happen.
192
00:08:49,702 --> 00:08:52,542
and, and it's surpr. I think why
193
00:08:52,582 --> 00:08:55,310
I got hooked is because I started
194
00:08:55,446 --> 00:08:57,726
watching it by just having it on in the
195
00:08:57,734 --> 00:09:00,652
background. because to get through those first
196
00:09:00,692 --> 00:09:03,340
two episodes of studying the premise of this
197
00:09:03,396 --> 00:09:06,306
girl who's dead and, and
198
00:09:06,394 --> 00:09:09,250
finds herself kind of in a limbo
199
00:09:09,426 --> 00:09:11,906
at her school where she died among
200
00:09:11,994 --> 00:09:14,822
other ghosts who have died
201
00:09:14,902 --> 00:09:16,322
at that same school.
202
00:09:17,422 --> 00:09:20,246
There's there that's just this
203
00:09:20,414 --> 00:09:22,282
surface iceberg
204
00:09:23,342 --> 00:09:25,872
plot explanation, about the
205
00:09:25,912 --> 00:09:28,754
show not going into so many details. and
206
00:09:28,794 --> 00:09:31,694
then I started finding myself paying
207
00:09:31,644 --> 00:09:34,376
gradually as episodes went on more and more
208
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,112
attention to things because they did a very good
209
00:09:37,168 --> 00:09:40,084
job about. Because
210
00:09:40,544 --> 00:09:43,352
her best friend who's still alive can see
211
00:09:43,408 --> 00:09:46,204
her. There's kind of a link
212
00:09:46,704 --> 00:09:49,400
and you see through her
213
00:09:49,552 --> 00:09:52,552
and these other ghosts the
214
00:09:52,608 --> 00:09:55,416
morning of the. The loss
215
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,184
of, of youth and And also
216
00:09:58,304 --> 00:10:01,096
like that grief of their own like un
217
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,444
unfulfilled life
218
00:10:03,984 --> 00:10:06,680
versus also the grief of
219
00:10:06,752 --> 00:10:09,694
those they leave behind. and
220
00:10:09,734 --> 00:10:12,606
so when they started tapping into that I, I
221
00:10:12,630 --> 00:10:15,550
got it piqued my interest and they did some very
222
00:10:15,622 --> 00:10:18,616
good through the, the people who
223
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,522
are alive versus dead. Very good
224
00:10:21,578 --> 00:10:23,694
parallels that were going on.
225
00:10:24,834 --> 00:10:27,684
So Yeah, I would. I was surprised
226
00:10:27,844 --> 00:10:30,184
that I, I found myself
227
00:10:30,604 --> 00:10:32,804
as engaged in that.
228
00:10:33,554 --> 00:10:36,506
And. And arguably season two is just as good
229
00:10:36,530 --> 00:10:39,498
as season one. So there wasn't like a drop
230
00:10:39,546 --> 00:10:42,266
off or anything or it didn't get significantly
231
00:10:42,330 --> 00:10:45,328
better. But, but yeah,
232
00:10:45,376 --> 00:10:47,824
I, I think it's a, it's a decent
233
00:10:47,904 --> 00:10:50,896
show to, to binge get caught up
234
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,920
on or even to wait until it's over and then binge
235
00:10:53,952 --> 00:10:56,544
the whole thing because I really don't know how many
236
00:10:56,584 --> 00:10:59,484
seasons it's got in it. I don't know.
237
00:11:01,064 --> 00:11:03,936
>> Will: Fair enough, fair enough. I Yeah. As far
238
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,576
as other shows that I, I finally did start
239
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,444
Reacher season three and And
240
00:11:09,564 --> 00:11:12,532
it's like. It's very good. It's very good. I'm about. I'm
241
00:11:12,628 --> 00:11:15,332
a still. Still gotta watch week
242
00:11:15,388 --> 00:11:18,012
five. But I've watched up to week four and really
243
00:11:18,068 --> 00:11:21,034
have enjoyed it. you know it's, it is what
244
00:11:21,090 --> 00:11:23,994
it is. I mean you know that definitely, you know we jokingly
245
00:11:24,090 --> 00:11:26,730
call it dad TV and it's definitely not.
246
00:11:26,898 --> 00:11:28,864
But but the, the
247
00:11:29,404 --> 00:11:32,258
overall storyline, and the issues
248
00:11:32,346 --> 00:11:35,054
that he is getting into, this
249
00:11:35,094 --> 00:11:37,900
season. Is. It is. It's good.
250
00:11:38,052 --> 00:11:41,004
It really is good. And I swear, Alan Richton, each. Each
251
00:11:41,044 --> 00:11:42,544
season, he gets larger.
252
00:11:44,244 --> 00:11:44,812
Yeah.
253
00:11:44,908 --> 00:11:47,420
>> Sarah : Yeah, that. I. I did see
254
00:11:47,492 --> 00:11:50,460
some. Some interviews with him and. And stuff,
255
00:11:50,492 --> 00:11:52,264
and I would agree with that.
256
00:11:54,884 --> 00:11:57,772
>> Will: And there's a dude in the show this season that's even bigger
257
00:11:57,788 --> 00:12:00,508
than him, and it's just like, okay, yeah, yeah.
258
00:12:00,556 --> 00:12:03,262
But, But yeah, it's great. I mean, if you're a fan
259
00:12:03,278 --> 00:12:05,762
of. Fan of Reacher, I would
260
00:12:05,818 --> 00:12:08,138
say, you'll enjoy this
261
00:12:08,306 --> 00:12:11,226
season. And. And I think over. Actually, I
262
00:12:11,250 --> 00:12:14,154
think it's off to a better start than. Than
263
00:12:14,194 --> 00:12:16,926
last season's, to be honest. But, But yeah,
264
00:12:16,990 --> 00:12:19,820
but, it is good. And, continue. We'll continue
265
00:12:19,892 --> 00:12:22,858
to stay on that, dad. Tv. Bob. there.
266
00:12:23,318 --> 00:12:25,916
>> Sarah : Yeah. Yeah. Alan, Richter
267
00:12:26,028 --> 00:12:29,020
apparently would enjoy hearing you say it's better than
268
00:12:29,060 --> 00:12:31,904
season two because he was not happy with season.
269
00:12:32,052 --> 00:12:34,872
What. I understand. And I'm like.
270
00:12:34,976 --> 00:12:37,576
I'm like, thank you for being honest.
271
00:12:37,768 --> 00:12:38,540
Yeah.
272
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,456
>> Will: That's one thing I do appreciate about him. He is all.
273
00:12:42,528 --> 00:12:45,502
He is very candid and very honest. whenever you see him
274
00:12:45,526 --> 00:12:47,406
on interviews and podcasts and stuff.
275
00:12:47,598 --> 00:12:50,574
>> Sarah : Yeah. Ah, that one with Michael Rosenbom, like,
276
00:12:50,662 --> 00:12:53,460
wow. Y. All right, well, that
277
00:12:53,500 --> 00:12:56,040
brings us to the big topic tonight.
278
00:12:56,140 --> 00:12:58,548
the Paradise Season one
279
00:12:58,604 --> 00:13:01,588
finale. The man who Kept the
280
00:13:01,644 --> 00:13:04,484
Secrets. Xavier and Robinson race
281
00:13:04,532 --> 00:13:07,428
to find President Bradford's m. Murderer
282
00:13:07,524 --> 00:13:09,280
before it's too late.
283
00:13:10,700 --> 00:13:13,320
All right, well, what did you think about this finale?
284
00:13:13,980 --> 00:13:16,890
>> Will: I loved it. I. I really did it.
285
00:13:17,100 --> 00:13:20,036
this show, really, it.
286
00:13:20,188 --> 00:13:22,580
All the. All the clues, all the
287
00:13:22,620 --> 00:13:25,508
breadcrumbs, even down to the cheesy fries. I've
288
00:13:25,524 --> 00:13:28,372
shared it before that there's nothing that
289
00:13:28,396 --> 00:13:30,818
is like a throwaway in this, In this
290
00:13:30,954 --> 00:13:33,922
show. And to
291
00:13:33,946 --> 00:13:35,870
me, it delivered. Even.
292
00:13:36,570 --> 00:13:39,410
Even with. When we do find out the
293
00:13:39,450 --> 00:13:42,350
one mystery as far as who murdered Cal,
294
00:13:42,730 --> 00:13:45,404
the other part, I felt, But part of me felt like
295
00:13:45,492 --> 00:13:47,800
that was by the end of the season.
296
00:13:48,500 --> 00:13:51,340
That was sort of a secondary mystery to the. To the
297
00:13:51,380 --> 00:13:54,268
primary one, in my opinion, as far as, like, what
298
00:13:54,324 --> 00:13:57,212
was. What. What. What. When. Especially after we get
299
00:13:57,236 --> 00:13:59,806
the episode with whenever, President
300
00:13:59,878 --> 00:14:02,734
Bradford does find a tablet and starts, you know,
301
00:14:02,742 --> 00:14:05,134
keeping the journals and putting all the pieces together.
302
00:14:05,302 --> 00:14:07,870
That. That was, to me, like the bigger.
303
00:14:07,950 --> 00:14:10,792
Bigger thing that was going on here. But, But
304
00:14:10,816 --> 00:14:13,608
yeah, I really. Yes, it was. You know, it was definitely a
305
00:14:13,664 --> 00:14:15,720
different change of pace with,
306
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,336
you know, given how how intense and everything
307
00:14:19,408 --> 00:14:21,870
episode seven was. But
308
00:14:22,250 --> 00:14:25,250
I. I was fine with how
309
00:14:25,370 --> 00:14:28,082
this episode ended
310
00:14:28,146 --> 00:14:31,010
and And I'm glad that, you know, of course, we do
311
00:14:31,034 --> 00:14:33,634
know that there is a season two that's
312
00:14:33,666 --> 00:14:36,656
coming. And, so I'm glad that we don't end,
313
00:14:36,712 --> 00:14:39,120
you know, with the cliffhanger, with. With an
314
00:14:39,144 --> 00:14:40,508
unresolved story.
315
00:14:41,208 --> 00:14:42,788
>> Sarah : Yeah. Yeah.
316
00:14:46,478 --> 00:14:49,398
Yeah, I. I have to be
317
00:14:49,438 --> 00:14:52,358
very careful with how I say this
318
00:14:52,478 --> 00:14:55,270
and articulate this because I don't want there to be
319
00:14:55,294 --> 00:14:58,038
confusion because I have seen a lot of reactions to this
320
00:14:58,078 --> 00:15:00,836
season finale. I am
321
00:15:00,892 --> 00:15:03,796
not mad that it was the Librarian. I have
322
00:15:03,852 --> 00:15:06,660
no, like, the motivation. It makes sense.
323
00:15:06,804 --> 00:15:09,460
I can tell you the exact scene,
324
00:15:09,604 --> 00:15:12,358
the exact moment where
325
00:15:12,978 --> 00:15:15,598
I suddenly was like, oh,
326
00:15:16,018 --> 00:15:18,970
I don't like this. And
327
00:15:18,994 --> 00:15:21,770
it came where it started to
328
00:15:21,794 --> 00:15:24,378
become too contrite, and the.
329
00:15:24,498 --> 00:15:27,216
The episode lost me. and it
330
00:15:27,272 --> 00:15:30,256
was the moment when he had
331
00:15:30,312 --> 00:15:33,248
already knocked out Xavier and was
332
00:15:33,288 --> 00:15:36,238
telling him the story. the story that just
333
00:15:36,278 --> 00:15:38,900
went on and on and on. And as it went
334
00:15:38,924 --> 00:15:41,636
on, it started to lose me more and
335
00:15:41,692 --> 00:15:44,448
more and more. Not because,
336
00:15:45,068 --> 00:15:47,444
like, well, if we were paying
337
00:15:47,476 --> 00:15:50,468
attention, we would have recognized.
338
00:15:50,548 --> 00:15:53,508
We could have potentially recognized him because we
339
00:15:53,548 --> 00:15:56,408
had seen the shooter in the first episode,
340
00:15:56,748 --> 00:15:59,620
but it was more like, as soon as
341
00:15:59,644 --> 00:16:02,116
he started, I was like, why didn't it take you three
342
00:16:02,172 --> 00:16:05,128
years? And so the
343
00:16:05,168 --> 00:16:07,992
exact moment when it really. I was like, I.
344
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,064
I don't. I don't think this was the right move
345
00:16:11,216 --> 00:16:13,464
is the moment when he explained
346
00:16:13,576 --> 00:16:16,568
why, Like, I appreciated the
347
00:16:16,608 --> 00:16:19,410
explanation of why he, How he got comfortable
348
00:16:19,910 --> 00:16:22,718
and how he felt like he deserved. Like, that made
349
00:16:22,774 --> 00:16:25,630
sense. But the moment he said. And
350
00:16:25,670 --> 00:16:28,030
then. And they show the
351
00:16:28,070 --> 00:16:30,552
flashback where Cal's in his robe
352
00:16:30,726 --> 00:16:33,476
walking into the library and
353
00:16:33,548 --> 00:16:35,956
just asking him where the music stuff,
354
00:16:36,068 --> 00:16:38,916
suddenly that triggered some ptsd.
355
00:16:39,028 --> 00:16:41,920
It just. That just
356
00:16:42,220 --> 00:16:45,042
that bothered me. and.
357
00:16:45,146 --> 00:16:47,950
And it didn't get any better because
358
00:16:48,250 --> 00:16:51,074
even, like, it just.
359
00:16:51,162 --> 00:16:54,162
It just annoyed me that all we
360
00:16:54,186 --> 00:16:56,886
got for the explanation why, at
361
00:16:56,958 --> 00:16:59,702
that random night when it just so
362
00:16:59,726 --> 00:17:02,694
happened that the cameras were off and
363
00:17:02,782 --> 00:17:05,254
that all, like, everything started
364
00:17:05,342 --> 00:17:08,294
becoming way too. Oh, well,
365
00:17:08,382 --> 00:17:11,362
that's. That's a, a
366
00:17:11,386 --> 00:17:14,018
MacGuffin or a shortcut or
367
00:17:14,154 --> 00:17:16,626
just a simplistic way to explain,
368
00:17:16,738 --> 00:17:18,790
like. And the scene,
369
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,160
this. The way that the scene of the
370
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,942
attack, the piano music, it just
371
00:17:24,966 --> 00:17:27,630
didn't hit for me. And then at the end with
372
00:17:27,670 --> 00:17:30,590
Xavier and Samantha, at no point
373
00:17:30,710 --> 00:17:33,518
did I think Presley was dead. At no
374
00:17:33,574 --> 00:17:36,494
point was I like, oh, I
375
00:17:36,662 --> 00:17:39,210
like, the stakes weren't there for me,
376
00:17:39,750 --> 00:17:42,730
probably because I knew there was going to be a Season two.
377
00:17:43,110 --> 00:17:45,790
There was. So I
378
00:17:45,830 --> 00:17:48,702
just. I. I understand. And I'm Glad it
379
00:17:48,726 --> 00:17:49,872
worked for you.
380
00:17:50,046 --> 00:17:50,492
>> Will: Yeah.
381
00:17:50,556 --> 00:17:53,000
>> Sarah : But from that point forward
382
00:17:53,540 --> 00:17:56,268
I was just like okay. And I'm not
383
00:17:56,324 --> 00:17:58,640
saying it was a bad finale.
384
00:17:59,060 --> 00:18:01,480
I have critiques and
385
00:18:01,780 --> 00:18:04,476
it's more, I didn't like the pacing.
386
00:18:04,588 --> 00:18:07,532
I've seen worse. Let's be honest, we've seen
387
00:18:07,556 --> 00:18:10,540
a lot worse. But it, it
388
00:18:10,580 --> 00:18:13,004
also just there were things
389
00:18:13,092 --> 00:18:15,692
that like I just, it
390
00:18:15,716 --> 00:18:18,180
didn't, it felt too contrite.
391
00:18:18,830 --> 00:18:21,702
I have more complaints but I'll let you
392
00:18:21,886 --> 00:18:23,850
add in some good thoughts.
393
00:18:24,590 --> 00:18:27,366
>> Will: Yeah, no, I, I, I mean you know I've
394
00:18:27,398 --> 00:18:30,278
seen the complaints about
395
00:18:30,262 --> 00:18:33,152
being a librarian or anti climatic or
396
00:18:33,512 --> 00:18:36,382
And so, so
397
00:18:36,502 --> 00:18:38,602
what, what made it work for me
398
00:18:39,382 --> 00:18:42,074
was again the setup.
399
00:18:42,238 --> 00:18:42,722
>> Sarah : Yeah.
400
00:18:42,802 --> 00:18:45,662
>> Will: And, and especially because
401
00:18:47,242 --> 00:18:49,902
it ah was really. I ah guess it just really
402
00:18:51,162 --> 00:18:52,822
got into the larger
403
00:18:53,802 --> 00:18:56,610
theme. Some of the larger themes that we've seen
404
00:18:56,666 --> 00:18:58,622
throughout this season.
405
00:18:58,882 --> 00:19:01,512
>> Will: With, with you know again and
406
00:19:01,812 --> 00:19:04,680
you know with you know these workers who will
407
00:19:04,704 --> 00:19:07,348
never get the benefit of being able to
408
00:19:08,028 --> 00:19:10,948
but you know get the benefit of if and when this incident
409
00:19:11,028 --> 00:19:13,588
does occur, which obviously it found it
410
00:19:13,628 --> 00:19:16,404
does, they will be left out.
411
00:19:16,556 --> 00:19:19,284
And, and, and, and and it gets
412
00:19:19,316 --> 00:19:22,068
to like for example but
413
00:19:22,108 --> 00:19:25,028
for Xavier being on the President's detail,
414
00:19:25,148 --> 00:19:28,116
he wouldn't have got in and, and,
415
00:19:28,252 --> 00:19:31,140
and, and what's so special about you know obviously you know you
416
00:19:31,164 --> 00:19:33,826
got the the billionaire. So for me it was just
417
00:19:33,882 --> 00:19:36,358
overall larger themes that like
418
00:19:36,538 --> 00:19:39,246
really made the motivation and then also just
419
00:19:39,302 --> 00:19:42,174
the relationship that Trent built
420
00:19:42,206 --> 00:19:44,688
with all the other workers so that such
421
00:19:44,728 --> 00:19:47,600
that whenever they do discover the
422
00:19:47,624 --> 00:19:50,032
toxin and and,
423
00:19:50,120 --> 00:19:52,848
and and everything it
424
00:19:52,888 --> 00:19:55,248
just, it was very
425
00:19:55,288 --> 00:19:58,176
believable for him to, to do,
426
00:19:58,232 --> 00:20:01,072
to, to be the, the killer. And, and it
427
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,070
made sense too. Just I think overall I
428
00:20:04,094 --> 00:20:07,078
like the fact that they went, they zigged instead of zagged
429
00:20:07,028 --> 00:20:09,812
because you know all along you know we both were like
430
00:20:09,884 --> 00:20:12,660
very spiraling. I had the crazy, you know I had to, I
431
00:20:12,668 --> 00:20:15,396
was on, on the train of it was a power play by
432
00:20:15,436 --> 00:20:18,068
Sinatra. That's why she was trying to like
433
00:20:18,252 --> 00:20:21,220
you know she was the motivation behind it and
434
00:20:21,228 --> 00:20:24,212
stuff. So I appreciated the fact that they went in the direction
435
00:20:24,244 --> 00:20:27,126
that they did tying it to the some of the
436
00:20:27,166 --> 00:20:29,938
more larger themes that that the show was, was
437
00:20:29,962 --> 00:20:32,738
exploring throughout you know, throughout the
438
00:20:32,762 --> 00:20:33,326
season.
439
00:20:33,866 --> 00:20:36,738
>> Sarah : Yeah, I, I, I, I agree to an
440
00:20:36,762 --> 00:20:39,634
extent. Like the, the, the setup
441
00:20:39,650 --> 00:20:41,938
of Trent makes sense and I
442
00:20:42,122 --> 00:20:44,926
completely enjoyed the
443
00:20:45,306 --> 00:20:48,002
how it connected to the have and the have
444
00:20:48,074 --> 00:20:50,914
nots. And it just goes back to last
445
00:20:50,970 --> 00:20:53,954
week and the FBI or
446
00:20:54,010 --> 00:20:56,946
the Secret Service agent who Xavier is like saying
447
00:20:56,986 --> 00:20:59,828
Go here, do this, do that. As soon as they are
448
00:20:59,852 --> 00:21:02,836
about to get on the helicopter, he's like, oh, no, no, you
449
00:21:02,876 --> 00:21:05,396
stay here. And it's just,
450
00:21:05,516 --> 00:21:08,148
it's that same idea of m. Like, well, why do you
451
00:21:08,172 --> 00:21:11,076
get. Why am I. I'm supposed to.
452
00:21:11,196 --> 00:21:13,988
Like, this is my job too. It's,
453
00:21:14,052 --> 00:21:17,044
it's a very uncomfortable and unsettling
454
00:21:17,140 --> 00:21:19,536
thing. However,
455
00:21:20,476 --> 00:21:22,976
and, and maybe this is just because
456
00:21:23,676 --> 00:21:26,516
with the difference of, of our history with
457
00:21:26,556 --> 00:21:29,438
the showrunner, they, they
458
00:21:29,462 --> 00:21:32,174
use the same composer from this as us. And
459
00:21:32,230 --> 00:21:34,974
it's very clear because I was distracted during that
460
00:21:35,030 --> 00:21:36,386
whole opening,
461
00:21:37,206 --> 00:21:39,678
opening stuff because that
462
00:21:39,782 --> 00:21:42,766
score is so reminiscent of. This
463
00:21:42,806 --> 00:21:45,262
is a score. Oh, my God, it's
464
00:21:45,294 --> 00:21:48,014
uncanny. And I was just like,
465
00:21:48,070 --> 00:21:50,958
why, why, why, why are you, why are
466
00:21:50,982 --> 00:21:53,740
you choosing this, to
467
00:21:53,780 --> 00:21:56,748
go? Like, I. It's a very, It's a very
468
00:21:56,804 --> 00:21:59,640
interesting association that I've never
469
00:22:00,020 --> 00:22:03,020
really had it. It would be like if
470
00:22:03,060 --> 00:22:05,920
they took a score from Star wars
471
00:22:06,580 --> 00:22:09,100
and, like, played it over top, and you're just
472
00:22:09,140 --> 00:22:11,960
like, this isn't the same world.
473
00:22:13,380 --> 00:22:16,188
It's not. Why are you. This is
474
00:22:16,244 --> 00:22:18,860
weird. Or, or even Star Trek. Like,
475
00:22:18,900 --> 00:22:21,808
suddenly you're watching something and, and you hear.
476
00:22:21,864 --> 00:22:24,140
And you're just like, wait a second. What?
477
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,290
So I, I, I, know it's the same
478
00:22:28,330 --> 00:22:31,186
composer, but I'm like, dude, you're good.
479
00:22:31,338 --> 00:22:33,710
Why are you pulling from that?
480
00:22:34,150 --> 00:22:36,944
that, that case, that box is closed.
481
00:22:37,072 --> 00:22:39,664
Okay, so,
482
00:22:39,752 --> 00:22:42,608
so, and, and I
483
00:22:42,664 --> 00:22:45,392
completely. Like, again, I'm not mad it was
484
00:22:45,416 --> 00:22:48,240
the librarian, because I wanted it
485
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,978
to. They were
486
00:22:51,034 --> 00:22:53,474
not. Like, nobody could predict. Nobody
487
00:22:53,522 --> 00:22:56,370
could really. You had
488
00:22:56,410 --> 00:22:59,218
to be really looking in order
489
00:22:59,274 --> 00:23:02,194
to see it. You really had to, like, go frame
490
00:23:02,242 --> 00:23:05,090
by frame. And so I applaud them for all
491
00:23:05,130 --> 00:23:07,906
that. I just don't appreciate
492
00:23:08,018 --> 00:23:11,010
the lack of motivation for why it took
493
00:23:11,050 --> 00:23:13,150
three years for him to finish the job.
494
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,690
M. That's it. That's like, like the one
495
00:23:16,730 --> 00:23:19,210
thing. Yeah.
496
00:23:20,430 --> 00:23:23,110
Like, that day, like, there was.
497
00:23:23,230 --> 00:23:26,182
There. There just seemed to be it. So
498
00:23:26,206 --> 00:23:28,982
it was so. It felt so random. It was like,
499
00:23:29,006 --> 00:23:31,814
okay, so then one day you just woke up on the wrong
500
00:23:31,862 --> 00:23:34,854
side of the bed and went and murdered someone. Cool. Cool.
501
00:23:34,902 --> 00:23:35,414
Cool.
502
00:23:35,542 --> 00:23:38,310
>> Will: Yeah. Well, I mean, that, that,
503
00:23:38,350 --> 00:23:41,222
that, yeah. And I, I get. I can totally see
504
00:23:41,246 --> 00:23:44,120
that. And I, I, and I. And I think that's a fair, fair
505
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,102
criticism. that. But, But I think that. I think that's the
506
00:23:47,126 --> 00:23:49,982
whole. I think that's the, the point, though. I think
507
00:23:50,006 --> 00:23:52,782
it is the random, the randomness of it that,
508
00:23:52,966 --> 00:23:55,966
you know, he's gotten very comfortable here and
509
00:23:56,038 --> 00:23:58,570
then just you know, but just one day,
510
00:23:59,590 --> 00:24:01,998
it, it just, you know, that, that.
511
00:24:02,134 --> 00:24:05,118
That feeling of just thinking about
512
00:24:05,254 --> 00:24:08,142
Adam and, and, and everything,
513
00:24:08,246 --> 00:24:11,032
and it just. He just snapped
514
00:24:11,096 --> 00:24:13,976
and. And he, decided that was the
515
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,000
data. I'm going to finish the job that I didn't
516
00:24:17,032 --> 00:24:19,512
do years, you know, years
517
00:24:19,568 --> 00:24:20,216
earlier.
518
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,150
>> Sarah : Yeah, because, I mean, if he had, also really
519
00:24:23,222 --> 00:24:26,046
been studying this world, he
520
00:24:26,070 --> 00:24:29,038
would have figured out that Sinatra is actually the one he should have
521
00:24:29,046 --> 00:24:30,634
gone and killed, not Cal.
522
00:24:31,014 --> 00:24:32,334
>> Will: Yeah, well, there's that too.
523
00:24:32,374 --> 00:24:35,246
>> Sarah : Yeah. Yeah. That, that wasn't. That's another thing where
524
00:24:35,270 --> 00:24:38,004
it's just like, again, it's just that
525
00:24:38,044 --> 00:24:40,820
length of time. That length of time. That's a very
526
00:24:40,892 --> 00:24:43,024
long time, arguably. So.
527
00:24:44,124 --> 00:24:46,948
>> Will: Yeah, yeah. And, yeah,
528
00:24:46,996 --> 00:24:49,344
and, you know, you know, I felt too just like
529
00:24:49,724 --> 00:24:52,584
with the, with the play, on
530
00:24:52,624 --> 00:24:55,480
the, the title and, and also just
531
00:24:55,632 --> 00:24:58,474
in the fact that Peter Lawford, was.
532
00:24:58,514 --> 00:25:01,300
Was married to a Kennedy, you know, he was Bobby Kennedy's
533
00:25:01,332 --> 00:25:03,780
and JFK's, brother in law.
534
00:25:03,932 --> 00:25:06,788
So, you know, so I, you know, so I was trying, you
535
00:25:06,796 --> 00:25:09,684
know, so whenever, When I saw
536
00:25:09,724 --> 00:25:12,682
that title and, and thinking about, you know, the book
537
00:25:12,738 --> 00:25:15,014
in the library and stuff, and of course he,
538
00:25:16,514 --> 00:25:19,386
Whenever Bradford was trying
539
00:25:19,410 --> 00:25:22,346
to, you know, make the mixtape and stuff, you know, it, it
540
00:25:22,370 --> 00:25:25,146
just, I think that's, you know, again, it's just the
541
00:25:25,170 --> 00:25:28,058
randomness of Assassin, you know, Assassins, because, you know,
542
00:25:28,066 --> 00:25:30,834
you do have, you know, you have that Kennedy tie
543
00:25:30,914 --> 00:25:33,906
there too. And I may be reaching there, but it was just something that was
544
00:25:33,930 --> 00:25:36,654
just, you know, just kind of daunt. It just kind of struck me,
545
00:25:37,684 --> 00:25:40,498
that, you know, that we, that we. We had
546
00:25:40,586 --> 00:25:43,506
had those, Those themes in there as well.
547
00:25:43,610 --> 00:25:46,596
And also Kane, you know, you know, pulling out
548
00:25:46,620 --> 00:25:49,498
the Rat Pack reference to, to, you know, with
549
00:25:49,586 --> 00:25:52,586
nicknaming everyone way back in the, you know, episode one or
550
00:25:52,610 --> 00:25:55,370
two. So, you know, that was, you know, it was just. It was
551
00:25:55,442 --> 00:25:58,106
all those, like I said, all, all those little things throughout
552
00:25:58,170 --> 00:26:01,094
each. To this point is
553
00:26:01,134 --> 00:26:03,910
what for me, I think, to your fair,
554
00:26:03,982 --> 00:26:06,614
fair points there, I think it was just the
555
00:26:06,654 --> 00:26:09,414
payoff, I think, because it's just so. It's not
556
00:26:09,454 --> 00:26:11,878
every day you get a series that just pays
557
00:26:11,926 --> 00:26:14,514
off those types of
558
00:26:14,814 --> 00:26:17,638
breadcrumbs that they, they sprinkle throughout the season
559
00:26:17,726 --> 00:26:20,630
and, and not only where they're
560
00:26:20,662 --> 00:26:23,606
used, but they're used so well. So I thought it was just the
561
00:26:23,630 --> 00:26:26,604
execution of it that was really, just really,
562
00:26:27,406 --> 00:26:29,954
got me. And then even to the point where
563
00:26:30,814 --> 00:26:33,814
whenever Sinatra and Jane were having
564
00:26:33,854 --> 00:26:36,668
a text conversation about, about Presley
565
00:26:36,796 --> 00:26:39,564
Yeah. You know, because Jane is. You know, they did such
566
00:26:39,604 --> 00:26:42,284
a. Such a good job of just,
567
00:26:42,324 --> 00:26:44,864
like, creating this, like, psychopath
568
00:26:45,204 --> 00:26:47,564
with. With Jane and. And being the
569
00:26:47,604 --> 00:26:50,492
enforcer that I,
570
00:26:50,548 --> 00:26:53,260
you know, I, like, I was. I was react. I reacted
571
00:26:53,292 --> 00:26:55,868
so. So much when the text messages are going so much my
572
00:26:55,876 --> 00:26:58,856
w. She like, she had gone upstairs and she, like,
573
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,240
checked on me just like, are you okay? I'm like, oh, yeah, yeah. I'm just watching
574
00:27:01,272 --> 00:27:04,244
paradise, so.
575
00:27:04,624 --> 00:27:05,048
Yeah.
576
00:27:05,096 --> 00:27:07,464
>> Sarah : So they got you hook, line and sinker.
577
00:27:07,544 --> 00:27:10,024
>> Will: Yeah, they were. Yeah, I was just. I was just
578
00:27:10,064 --> 00:27:12,152
completely, like, bought into this.
579
00:27:12,208 --> 00:27:15,064
>> Sarah : We would have seen stuff. We would have
580
00:27:15,104 --> 00:27:17,864
seen stuff. There's no way, like, it
581
00:27:17,904 --> 00:27:20,820
just, Yeah, they. The way that
582
00:27:20,892 --> 00:27:23,786
whole exchange went down, I. I
583
00:27:23,810 --> 00:27:26,374
couldn't believe. I was like, no, this.
584
00:27:26,754 --> 00:27:29,706
She ain't gonna do anything for Presley because she's not gonna get the
585
00:27:29,730 --> 00:27:32,362
Wii. So she. She, like, she's
586
00:27:32,378 --> 00:27:35,210
smart. I don't think. I.
587
00:27:35,282 --> 00:27:38,090
I wouldn't say necessarily that they did a great
588
00:27:38,162 --> 00:27:40,266
job about building Jane as an
589
00:27:40,290 --> 00:27:42,134
enforcer. They.
590
00:27:42,944 --> 00:27:45,704
My whole thought while watching the
591
00:27:45,744 --> 00:27:48,350
Jane part of this episode unfolding
592
00:27:48,412 --> 00:27:51,098
is just thinking back at all the times
593
00:27:51,186 --> 00:27:53,642
Will brought up on the podcast about how
594
00:27:53,698 --> 00:27:56,534
Gabriella is the wild card. And I'm like,
595
00:27:57,314 --> 00:27:59,614
she. He should have been talking about Jane.
596
00:28:01,394 --> 00:28:04,014
Nothing. Jane's wild card.
597
00:28:04,434 --> 00:28:07,322
>> Will: Yeah, but. Yeah, now, I mean, it would benefit
598
00:28:07,338 --> 00:28:10,220
a hindsight, but also, Well, because.
599
00:28:10,292 --> 00:28:13,260
Yeah, because of what happened in this episode. Janie's clearly the wild card,
600
00:28:13,292 --> 00:28:13,580
but.
601
00:28:13,652 --> 00:28:16,184
>> Sarah : Well, but he also killed Billy.
602
00:28:16,364 --> 00:28:19,120
Yeah, she. That.
603
00:28:19,192 --> 00:28:21,568
That is. That's my point. I think
604
00:28:21,656 --> 00:28:24,032
that. I don't think it's
605
00:28:24,048 --> 00:28:26,976
necessarily that they did a good job building her as an
606
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,536
enforcer. They did a good job
607
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,724
about utilizing her
608
00:28:32,584 --> 00:28:35,392
early enough. So you have that
609
00:28:35,448 --> 00:28:38,368
notation that she's working for Sinatra,
610
00:28:38,496 --> 00:28:41,264
then putting her on the sidelines and then
611
00:28:41,304 --> 00:28:44,114
circling back to her while at the
612
00:28:44,154 --> 00:28:46,706
same time leaving a
613
00:28:46,730 --> 00:28:49,586
character to further flesh out in a
614
00:28:49,610 --> 00:28:52,546
later season. Yeah, yeah,
615
00:28:52,610 --> 00:28:55,314
because. And. And that's the
616
00:28:55,434 --> 00:28:58,414
kind of leads into why,
617
00:28:58,494 --> 00:29:01,400
part of this whole Sinatra, Jane
618
00:29:01,432 --> 00:29:04,360
and Xavier and Presley,
619
00:29:04,552 --> 00:29:07,336
that didn't. The stakes weren't there for
620
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,194
me just because they had spent this
621
00:29:10,234 --> 00:29:12,754
whole season and even in this
622
00:29:12,794 --> 00:29:15,698
episode, it's like Sinatra being a monster
623
00:29:15,746 --> 00:29:18,694
and this and that. And I've been on the defendant,
624
00:29:20,874 --> 00:29:21,544
Samantha.
625
00:29:21,950 --> 00:29:24,574
>> Will: okay, you've been the Matt Burdock
626
00:29:24,734 --> 00:29:25,310
for sure.
627
00:29:25,382 --> 00:29:28,340
>> Sarah : Like it was. It's interesting. She, She did.
628
00:29:28,412 --> 00:29:31,024
She. It was clear to me
629
00:29:31,324 --> 00:29:34,252
that she didn't want something bad
630
00:29:34,308 --> 00:29:37,276
happened to Presley. She didn't. She didn't want that.
631
00:29:37,380 --> 00:29:39,964
She needed the leverage to get what she
632
00:29:40,004 --> 00:29:42,924
wanted. But she's a mother of her
633
00:29:42,964 --> 00:29:45,596
own, so it wouldn't
634
00:29:45,660 --> 00:29:48,540
seem right, considering what we're
635
00:29:48,572 --> 00:29:51,548
led to believe about this idea of paradise stemming
636
00:29:51,596 --> 00:29:54,364
from the death of her own son. Like. Like,
637
00:29:54,404 --> 00:29:57,116
there's something. And. And it just left me
638
00:29:57,140 --> 00:30:00,134
with this question, especially with her interactions with,
639
00:30:00,384 --> 00:30:03,224
Gabriella at the beginning and towards the end of this
640
00:30:03,264 --> 00:30:05,976
episode is. There's this,
641
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,952
like, this constant. Like, you don't know what I've done. I've
642
00:30:08,968 --> 00:30:11,688
done horrible things, and I'm a monster and all this stuff.
643
00:30:11,736 --> 00:30:14,664
And I'm thinking to myself, okay, so, yeah,
644
00:30:14,824 --> 00:30:17,704
technically, you sent Jane to kill Billy, but
645
00:30:17,744 --> 00:30:20,136
we understand why. I don't know if that makes you a
646
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:21,874
monster. Technically.
647
00:30:23,724 --> 00:30:26,514
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah. You, You. You had
648
00:30:26,554 --> 00:30:29,458
Billy kill those. Those other people.
649
00:30:29,626 --> 00:30:32,306
Is that the only thing? Like,
650
00:30:32,490 --> 00:30:35,122
I. That's where I'm kind of,
651
00:30:35,178 --> 00:30:37,986
like, from what we've
652
00:30:38,050 --> 00:30:40,738
learned, those are the two things
653
00:30:40,826 --> 00:30:43,666
that she's done. I mean, yes, she was a part of the
654
00:30:43,690 --> 00:30:46,178
creation of paradise. So to Trent's
655
00:30:46,226 --> 00:30:48,994
point, paradise was built on the
656
00:30:49,034 --> 00:30:50,894
graves of people,
657
00:30:51,604 --> 00:30:54,316
but she. She was one of many. I
658
00:30:54,340 --> 00:30:57,328
mean, Cal's dad is also at, fault there, and so
659
00:30:57,368 --> 00:31:00,000
is that the architect, and so is
660
00:31:00,024 --> 00:31:00,944
Gabriella.
661
00:31:01,056 --> 00:31:01,376
>> Will: So.
662
00:31:01,432 --> 00:31:03,628
>> Sarah : But. But my point being,
663
00:31:05,208 --> 00:31:07,824
I just. Towards the end, they kept saying
664
00:31:07,896 --> 00:31:10,714
that to, where I'm just thinking, the math ain't
665
00:31:10,746 --> 00:31:13,338
math. Then for me, I need to
666
00:31:13,378 --> 00:31:15,930
understand. I feel like there should be something
667
00:31:16,034 --> 00:31:19,018
more, and yet I don't know if there is.
668
00:31:19,398 --> 00:31:22,126
>> Will: Yeah, well, I. I agree with you that you were
669
00:31:22,182 --> 00:31:24,814
vindicated in the. In the. That she's not a complete
670
00:31:24,846 --> 00:31:27,678
monster when, you know. Yeah, she was trying
671
00:31:27,718 --> 00:31:30,622
to use Presley as. As leverage. But at
672
00:31:30,630 --> 00:31:33,550
the end of the day, she, you know, she. She did try
673
00:31:33,574 --> 00:31:36,158
to. She did text Jane and be like, look, you know,
674
00:31:36,198 --> 00:31:39,198
stop. You know, stand down, you know,
675
00:31:39,238 --> 00:31:42,110
but. And then. And then with the whole. Over the whole thing with
676
00:31:42,134 --> 00:31:45,070
the Wii and, you know, you know, call
677
00:31:45,094 --> 00:31:47,778
it. Are you crazy? You know, you don't call a crazy
678
00:31:48,578 --> 00:31:49,318
because.
679
00:31:49,938 --> 00:31:52,522
>> Sarah : So, yeah, yeah. I mean, as soon as
680
00:31:52,610 --> 00:31:55,410
Jane fired, and stepped into focus,
681
00:31:55,514 --> 00:31:58,306
I even said her line out loud.
682
00:31:58,402 --> 00:32:01,378
Like, two minutes before she said it. I was like, I should have given
683
00:32:01,418 --> 00:32:04,226
her the weight like
684
00:32:04,282 --> 00:32:06,962
you should have. And. And I will say,
685
00:32:07,130 --> 00:32:10,018
because I always have to call it out like, this
686
00:32:10,058 --> 00:32:12,850
has nothing to do. My criticism about the
687
00:32:12,874 --> 00:32:15,446
stakes in that. That scene between
688
00:32:15,502 --> 00:32:18,438
Sinatra and Xavier has nothing to do with the performances because
689
00:32:18,478 --> 00:32:21,338
the performance is spot on. Yeah.
690
00:32:21,678 --> 00:32:24,150
>> Will: Yeah. And honestly, the performances, actually,
691
00:32:24,334 --> 00:32:27,286
they're so spot on and is so well acted. And
692
00:32:27,422 --> 00:32:30,078
that I think it covers
693
00:32:30,496 --> 00:32:33,200
over some of the things that we're, that
694
00:32:33,224 --> 00:32:35,268
we're discussing tonight, quite frankly.
695
00:32:35,688 --> 00:32:38,272
>> Sarah : For Will, not for me because they stuck out like a
696
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,068
Thor. Yeah.
697
00:32:42,948 --> 00:32:45,916
>> Will: Yeah. I mean, yeah. I mean, yeah, I mean, yeah, I agree.
698
00:32:45,972 --> 00:32:48,780
I mean, yeah, there are. If you, if you do stop. I mean,
699
00:32:48,804 --> 00:32:51,654
hell, I was just thinking last week with the with, with Xavier
700
00:32:51,686 --> 00:32:54,518
and not with the cell phone. I was just like,
701
00:32:54,558 --> 00:32:57,558
wait a minute, you know this, you're. You're a secret Service agent. There's thing.
702
00:32:57,598 --> 00:33:00,230
You know, there's a thing called a gets card that will
703
00:33:00,334 --> 00:33:03,078
allow for you to like get over. You know, get
704
00:33:03,118 --> 00:33:05,990
a, get a telephone line. So. Yeah, so I mean
705
00:33:06,014 --> 00:33:08,597
I could like nitpick like that kind of stuff for sure.
706
00:33:08,637 --> 00:33:11,447
>> Sarah : But yeah, I had about
707
00:33:11,487 --> 00:33:13,027
those kind of things. So.
708
00:33:13,807 --> 00:33:16,712
>> Will: Yeah, so I mean, but, yeah, but But that being
709
00:33:16,768 --> 00:33:19,768
said, yeah, speaking
710
00:33:19,816 --> 00:33:22,701
of, this just with this episode and Trent
711
00:33:22,733 --> 00:33:25,247
and also Maggie with the I did like the. I did like
712
00:33:25,271 --> 00:33:28,169
how when the and
713
00:33:28,257 --> 00:33:30,977
Robinson were, you know, what Rob.
714
00:33:31,161 --> 00:33:33,985
The. You know, obviously the Robbie was day
715
00:33:34,025 --> 00:33:36,865
drinking and the Robinson went over to like help
716
00:33:36,905 --> 00:33:39,585
out and stuff. So I did like the way that they
717
00:33:39,705 --> 00:33:42,657
figured out that, that she persuaded her
718
00:33:42,681 --> 00:33:45,325
to like look at the files and, and they figured out
719
00:33:45,705 --> 00:33:48,657
that at least while the Trent was
720
00:33:48,681 --> 00:33:51,657
being expository on with Xavier, they just used good
721
00:33:51,681 --> 00:33:54,521
old fashioned storytelling and sleuthing to figure out that Maggie
722
00:33:54,633 --> 00:33:57,561
was. Shouldn't have been in there either. With, with the.
723
00:33:57,633 --> 00:33:59,845
When they looked at the records and realized that
724
00:34:00,366 --> 00:34:02,870
the person who should have been there had a peanut
725
00:34:02,918 --> 00:34:05,860
allergy. which again was this a great use to like pulling the
726
00:34:05,868 --> 00:34:08,356
cheese fries back into like what, what, what?
727
00:34:08,396 --> 00:34:10,404
>> Sarah : You know what was
728
00:34:10,460 --> 00:34:13,444
crazy was there was a scene
729
00:34:13,620 --> 00:34:16,452
like five, five to ten minutes before that
730
00:34:16,524 --> 00:34:19,362
whole thing unfolded where
731
00:34:19,434 --> 00:34:22,322
they, it was like they were speaking to the public,
732
00:34:22,394 --> 00:34:25,310
like, stay in your houses or something like that. And there was a
733
00:34:25,318 --> 00:34:27,822
shot of the diner and the girls there eating cheese
734
00:34:27,854 --> 00:34:30,494
fries. I swear, I swear to
735
00:34:30,550 --> 00:34:32,958
God, I thought in my
736
00:34:32,982 --> 00:34:35,854
head while watching that moment and looking
737
00:34:35,910 --> 00:34:38,382
at that actress eat those cheese fries. I'm
738
00:34:38,414 --> 00:34:41,106
like, how did you get into paradise?
739
00:34:42,726 --> 00:34:45,726
Randomly thought. And it was
740
00:34:45,766 --> 00:34:48,686
nothing. I was just like, how, how. What was
741
00:34:48,726 --> 00:34:51,306
the selection process for some of these people?
742
00:34:51,606 --> 00:34:52,706
>> Will: Yeah, yeah.
743
00:34:53,156 --> 00:34:55,564
>> Sarah : See it's, it's funny you bring that up
744
00:34:55,620 --> 00:34:58,476
because as much as I did appreciate
745
00:34:58,556 --> 00:35:01,548
the whole like girl tag team and the
746
00:35:01,572 --> 00:35:03,736
day drinking all that. What.
747
00:35:04,596 --> 00:35:07,404
And this is where the episode like, would I
748
00:35:07,460 --> 00:35:10,220
say it, it's contrary. Like,
749
00:35:10,388 --> 00:35:13,084
like they, they figure that out at the same
750
00:35:13,140 --> 00:35:15,996
amount of time while Xavier is,
751
00:35:16,116 --> 00:35:18,798
like, at the. Going back to the.
752
00:35:18,972 --> 00:35:21,796
The, bedroom and retracing all the
753
00:35:21,836 --> 00:35:24,676
steps and finding the mixtape that. I
754
00:35:24,716 --> 00:35:27,316
want to know how long Cal's been dead because,
755
00:35:27,436 --> 00:35:30,340
man, poor Jeremy, he could have had that mixtape the
756
00:35:30,348 --> 00:35:32,836
whole time. Whatever. It's a side
757
00:35:32,876 --> 00:35:35,852
note, but. And then it takes them, what. I
758
00:35:35,892 --> 00:35:38,476
want to know how long exactly to find,
759
00:35:38,644 --> 00:35:41,356
like, the. That nut allergy
760
00:35:41,484 --> 00:35:44,470
within, like, 25,000. Is it
761
00:35:44,526 --> 00:35:47,430
25, 000 files? Like, there's some
762
00:35:47,486 --> 00:35:50,438
conveniences where I'm just like, oh,
763
00:35:50,470 --> 00:35:51,322
my God.
764
00:35:53,182 --> 00:35:56,148
So. But, my
765
00:35:56,220 --> 00:35:58,842
favorite part of this episode, and my
766
00:35:58,882 --> 00:36:01,882
favorite line of this episode, of course it comes from
767
00:36:01,922 --> 00:36:04,762
Cal, is you are the things you
768
00:36:04,802 --> 00:36:07,690
love. And if that's the case, then you are
769
00:36:07,746 --> 00:36:10,744
me. Jeremy, if you don't like this world that
770
00:36:10,768 --> 00:36:12,692
I built, that fixed it.
771
00:36:13,232 --> 00:36:15,832
I really appreciate that
772
00:36:15,872 --> 00:36:18,132
ending because of
773
00:36:18,512 --> 00:36:21,512
the. The. Another iconic moment
774
00:36:21,592 --> 00:36:24,472
that happens earlier in the season between the
775
00:36:24,512 --> 00:36:27,032
grandfather, the grandson, and the
776
00:36:27,152 --> 00:36:30,072
dead father. Like, the
777
00:36:30,112 --> 00:36:33,062
way they have, subtly
778
00:36:34,372 --> 00:36:37,308
dealt with grief in that
779
00:36:37,380 --> 00:36:39,952
complicated dynamic.
780
00:36:40,822 --> 00:36:43,722
and. And you've seen the parallels between
781
00:36:44,102 --> 00:36:46,766
father and son and father and son.
782
00:36:46,814 --> 00:36:49,022
Again, like. Like, the. The
783
00:36:49,062 --> 00:36:52,014
execution of that was so good. And I
784
00:36:52,038 --> 00:36:54,974
didn't really see that coming until at
785
00:36:54,998 --> 00:36:57,838
the end. And then he looks up and he sees all these people
786
00:36:57,910 --> 00:37:00,864
walking towards him that, like, yeah, Jeremy,
787
00:37:00,928 --> 00:37:03,888
whether he likes it or not, he is his father's
788
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,640
son. And so a lot of the
789
00:37:06,696 --> 00:37:09,264
reason why Cal was able
790
00:37:09,368 --> 00:37:11,952
to go as far as he did in
791
00:37:11,992 --> 00:37:14,976
politics. Yeah. Yeah, he has a rich daddy,
792
00:37:15,104 --> 00:37:18,016
but it's because of that charm that he explains
793
00:37:18,064 --> 00:37:20,752
to Xavier in the pilot episode. And I think
794
00:37:20,792 --> 00:37:23,552
Jeremy has some of that. And I'll be at
795
00:37:23,672 --> 00:37:26,552
probably a better head on his shoulders, so.
796
00:37:27,092 --> 00:37:29,948
So. And a better moral compass. So I like
797
00:37:30,020 --> 00:37:32,072
how. I can appreciate how
798
00:37:32,852 --> 00:37:35,628
we knew Xavier was gonna eventually leave
799
00:37:35,660 --> 00:37:38,652
and go and find Terry, but I like how
800
00:37:38,692 --> 00:37:41,192
they still opened some.
801
00:37:41,892 --> 00:37:44,700
Some doors for stories to still be
802
00:37:44,756 --> 00:37:47,580
told at paradise as well. While.
803
00:37:47,716 --> 00:37:50,254
While, For some reason Xavier has to go
804
00:37:50,278 --> 00:37:52,928
alone. I don't. I. I don't understand that part,
805
00:37:53,070 --> 00:37:56,014
but he has to go alone. And, I'm not saying he
806
00:37:56,038 --> 00:37:58,942
should take the kids. That's not what I'm saying at all. But he does
807
00:37:58,982 --> 00:38:00,042
have other friends.
808
00:38:00,582 --> 00:38:01,362
>> Will: Yeah.
809
00:38:02,582 --> 00:38:05,374
>> Sarah : So. So I. I just.
810
00:38:05,478 --> 00:38:08,222
That sets up a season where you're gonna be
811
00:38:08,262 --> 00:38:10,910
getting Xavier on his journey while
812
00:38:10,966 --> 00:38:13,374
paradise is.
813
00:38:13,558 --> 00:38:15,962
Is figuring out things
814
00:38:16,262 --> 00:38:18,892
on their own and. And leaves more,
815
00:38:18,842 --> 00:38:19,702
doors.
816
00:38:20,202 --> 00:38:23,202
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
817
00:38:23,242 --> 00:38:25,662
For sure. Yeah. I did like. I did, like,
818
00:38:26,562 --> 00:38:29,016
with. With Xavier, You know,
819
00:38:29,184 --> 00:38:31,736
bringing back the whole hard
820
00:38:31,904 --> 00:38:34,452
decision that he made with his father to
821
00:38:34,992 --> 00:38:37,334
have, Him you mandatorily,
822
00:38:37,412 --> 00:38:39,830
retired. and. And also
823
00:38:39,886 --> 00:38:42,722
to bringing up the fact that again,
824
00:38:43,052 --> 00:38:46,032
Xavier, is a palate himself. And as you know, it was that tension between
825
00:38:46,072 --> 00:38:49,024
him and his father. Like why, you know. You know, his dad wanted him to sort of, you
826
00:38:49,048 --> 00:38:51,692
know, be it. Be a good outline. But
827
00:38:52,472 --> 00:38:55,168
Xavier, I think is. I think his eyesight was.
828
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:58,134
Was bad if I recall. Which, Why he
829
00:38:58,158 --> 00:39:01,016
couldn't. Why he couldn't be, Couldn't. Couldn't go that route. But
830
00:39:01,104 --> 00:39:03,544
I mean, but he still was able to get his pilot's license.
831
00:39:03,688 --> 00:39:06,562
But But yeah, I just really
832
00:39:06,602 --> 00:39:09,486
liked how they pull that back again from earlier in
833
00:39:09,494 --> 00:39:12,478
the season. And. And of course, you know, I
834
00:39:12,502 --> 00:39:13,066
think
835
00:39:15,046 --> 00:39:17,742
Xavier's still, you know, feeling that he
836
00:39:17,814 --> 00:39:20,768
feels comfortable going alone. and I
837
00:39:20,792 --> 00:39:23,776
agree he probably should have had someone go with him, but. But at the same time
838
00:39:23,816 --> 00:39:26,746
also feels comfortable leaving the kids back. And. And
839
00:39:26,974 --> 00:39:29,878
Because you know, at least from his sense of. Of
840
00:39:29,902 --> 00:39:32,710
things, everything is in paradise. It's the
841
00:39:32,718 --> 00:39:35,438
safest place for him to be right now. and. And
842
00:39:35,462 --> 00:39:38,110
also just he, you know, I think he.
843
00:39:38,198 --> 00:39:41,198
Presley that. I thought that was a good moment between the two
844
00:39:41,222 --> 00:39:44,174
of them whenever he was looking. Sitting there at the table, looking at the book
845
00:39:44,230 --> 00:39:46,974
and you know, seeing that all the notes that
846
00:39:47,030 --> 00:39:49,336
Kyle left behind, as far as the
847
00:39:50,356 --> 00:39:52,972
>> Will: With the map and. And shout out to the Dewey Decimal
848
00:39:53,004 --> 00:39:55,948
System. Yeah, because I know we
849
00:39:55,972 --> 00:39:58,508
were all like thinking, you know, we. We thought it was like a.
850
00:39:58,612 --> 00:40:01,372
Probably registration for a plane or something like that. Never,
851
00:40:01,444 --> 00:40:04,218
never thought that it was like. It was like,
852
00:40:04,402 --> 00:40:07,258
you know, the Dewey. The Dewey decimal card
853
00:40:07,322 --> 00:40:10,218
for the For the, you know, code for the For the book there in the
854
00:40:10,242 --> 00:40:12,846
library. Which I thought was another great touch.
855
00:40:12,836 --> 00:40:15,828
But But yeah, like I said, I mean, I think you're right. It
856
00:40:15,852 --> 00:40:18,724
definitely with Jeremy's story, you know,
857
00:40:18,780 --> 00:40:21,730
given that Sinatra is still alive, there
858
00:40:21,898 --> 00:40:24,716
and And also the other characters
859
00:40:24,796 --> 00:40:27,266
that Are still there in paradise,
860
00:40:27,816 --> 00:40:30,576
you know, in the bunker will you know, definitely will
861
00:40:30,696 --> 00:40:33,116
next season. We'll, you know, get to
862
00:40:33,706 --> 00:40:36,626
To. To two parallel stories maybe and
863
00:40:36,666 --> 00:40:39,506
hope hopefully they'll figure out some ways too to have some
864
00:40:39,546 --> 00:40:42,326
flashbacks to To. To Cal and
865
00:40:42,350 --> 00:40:45,146
Billy too. Because I mean James Marston was
866
00:40:45,170 --> 00:40:48,090
just. Just great in this. In this show and hopefully
867
00:40:48,122 --> 00:40:51,024
we can see some more of him and Maybe you know, especially
868
00:40:51,064 --> 00:40:54,000
if Kane is still there. So maybe it may be some things with his dad.
869
00:40:54,032 --> 00:40:56,854
As far as we just learn more about. Especially, since
870
00:40:56,894 --> 00:40:59,558
they introduced, you
871
00:40:59,566 --> 00:41:01,942
know, the. The making of this
872
00:41:01,998 --> 00:41:04,950
bunker, and there's still some stories and stuff
873
00:41:04,982 --> 00:41:06,594
that. That they can, you know.
874
00:41:07,214 --> 00:41:10,182
>> Sarah : Yeah, there are a lot of stories to be
875
00:41:10,238 --> 00:41:10,984
mined.
876
00:41:10,984 --> 00:41:12,654
>> Will: yeah, so. So,
877
00:41:14,314 --> 00:41:16,844
yeah, we know there's three seasons. Fogelman,
878
00:41:17,272 --> 00:41:19,444
did say that, you know, season two has been.
879
00:41:19,904 --> 00:41:20,904
Is done.
880
00:41:21,024 --> 00:41:22,392
>> Sarah : It's been confirmed. And.
881
00:41:22,448 --> 00:41:25,418
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, it's confirmed, though the show is
882
00:41:25,426 --> 00:41:28,282
that it's written because he actually. He's like. He's like us
883
00:41:28,338 --> 00:41:31,210
where we. He's like, I'm a TV viewer
884
00:41:31,242 --> 00:41:33,770
too, and I don't want long breaks in between
885
00:41:33,842 --> 00:41:36,540
seasons. So, I think he mentioned an article
886
00:41:36,612 --> 00:41:39,460
deadline that they're planning, on starting
887
00:41:39,492 --> 00:41:42,068
production in about. About a month or so.
888
00:41:42,236 --> 00:41:44,980
So it's very, you know, so with the goals having
889
00:41:45,052 --> 00:41:47,904
season two come back in early 2026. So,
890
00:41:48,704 --> 00:41:51,564
so hopefully they will be able to stay on that schedule.
891
00:41:53,424 --> 00:41:55,768
>> Sarah : All right, well, that brings us to
892
00:41:55,856 --> 00:41:58,536
Daredevil. Born Again,
893
00:41:58,720 --> 00:42:01,432
season one, Heaven's Half
894
00:42:01,488 --> 00:42:04,168
Hour. Long time ravels. Matt Murdock on Wilson
895
00:42:04,216 --> 00:42:06,840
Fisk attempt to move past their darker
896
00:42:07,032 --> 00:42:09,560
Personas to serve New York, but their
897
00:42:09,632 --> 00:42:12,472
past resurface, reintroducing the world of
898
00:42:12,528 --> 00:42:15,184
Daredevil, which. And actually, this
899
00:42:15,224 --> 00:42:18,086
episode can easily be summed up, in a toast that
900
00:42:18,110 --> 00:42:20,874
is made during the opening scene,
901
00:42:20,824 --> 00:42:23,654
which says to Cherry, may
902
00:42:23,694 --> 00:42:26,470
you be in heaven a full half hour before the devil knows
903
00:42:26,502 --> 00:42:27,354
you're dead.
904
00:42:30,334 --> 00:42:33,034
Will, what did you think about this episode?
905
00:42:34,334 --> 00:42:36,694
>> Will: So what did I think about this
906
00:42:36,734 --> 00:42:39,318
episode? So I will. You know, it's
907
00:42:39,446 --> 00:42:42,024
well known that I, was. I did
908
00:42:42,064 --> 00:42:44,894
not watch the, They
909
00:42:44,934 --> 00:42:47,888
only watched a handful of the Netflix shows. but it
910
00:42:47,896 --> 00:42:50,896
was very accessible for me, and I really. I
911
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:53,704
have to say, I really, really liked it. I really did.
912
00:42:54,044 --> 00:42:57,012
I, you know, we. We. We've seen. Even though,
913
00:42:57,068 --> 00:42:59,876
you know, the show has been. It's a continuation of the
914
00:42:59,900 --> 00:43:02,288
Netflix series, not. Not a reboot or
915
00:43:02,296 --> 00:43:04,990
anything. And. And we've
916
00:43:05,022 --> 00:43:07,876
seen both Fisk and. And Matt, in
917
00:43:07,900 --> 00:43:10,420
the mcu. I mean, you know, we've got them in Spider man
918
00:43:10,492 --> 00:43:13,342
and. And, King and, Echo.
919
00:43:13,842 --> 00:43:16,410
She, Hulk. Yep. Hawkeye.
920
00:43:16,586 --> 00:43:18,954
So we've. We've seen, you know, we've seen the
921
00:43:18,978 --> 00:43:21,978
characters. And so I, you know,
922
00:43:22,050 --> 00:43:24,782
so I went into it like, okay,
923
00:43:26,162 --> 00:43:28,842
I. I appreciated the fact that
924
00:43:29,142 --> 00:43:32,062
even though I didn't. I'm not like you who has the,
925
00:43:32,102 --> 00:43:34,878
you know, deep ties with this show from.
926
00:43:34,950 --> 00:43:37,806
You know, I. I was able. I was like, okay,
927
00:43:37,854 --> 00:43:40,670
I could fill in And I was, I was able
928
00:43:40,726 --> 00:43:43,534
to, I enjoyed it. You know, they set things
929
00:43:43,558 --> 00:43:46,126
up and, and it did it in a, in a way
930
00:43:46,214 --> 00:43:48,520
that was interesting
931
00:43:48,696 --> 00:43:51,466
and and I really, really
932
00:43:51,554 --> 00:43:53,782
got, you know, at the end of episode one,
933
00:43:54,222 --> 00:43:56,902
the, the scene there in a diner. But Fisk and
934
00:43:56,942 --> 00:43:59,734
Murdoch was everything I needed. Okay. I'm like, I'm on
935
00:43:59,758 --> 00:44:00,322
board.
936
00:44:00,862 --> 00:44:03,552
>> Sarah : Yeah. Yeah. The I
937
00:44:03,592 --> 00:44:06,144
mean the, this first episode,
938
00:44:06,208 --> 00:44:08,960
really the best parts is it's, it's
939
00:44:09,136 --> 00:44:12,048
their book ended perfectly because you have
940
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:15,088
the opening, I think people have said it's
941
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:16,992
a 15 minute long scene.
942
00:44:17,152 --> 00:44:17,776
>> Will: Yeah.
943
00:44:17,904 --> 00:44:20,600
>> Sarah : Open where you have, you're re
944
00:44:20,736 --> 00:44:23,544
introduced and it is fully a continuation. I mean
945
00:44:23,568 --> 00:44:26,424
you have, you have Foggy, you
946
00:44:26,448 --> 00:44:28,362
have Karen and you have
947
00:44:29,002 --> 00:44:31,622
Matt hanging out at Josie's
948
00:44:32,122 --> 00:44:34,914
and, and life is normal until
949
00:44:35,018 --> 00:44:37,182
next thing you know it's not.
950
00:44:37,722 --> 00:44:40,146
And it turned out to be a setup
951
00:44:40,274 --> 00:44:43,204
and, and Bullseye kills kills
952
00:44:43,252 --> 00:44:46,190
Foggy. And you, you go
953
00:44:46,230 --> 00:44:47,850
through and it has the,
954
00:44:49,430 --> 00:44:52,414
I can appreciate how they were like, oh, we're,
955
00:44:52,462 --> 00:44:55,278
we're making sure people know this is a continuation. So we're
956
00:44:55,294 --> 00:44:58,046
gonna do a lot of one like
957
00:44:58,118 --> 00:45:01,086
long shots, a lot of fighting
958
00:45:01,198 --> 00:45:04,190
in narrow spaces and, and
959
00:45:04,230 --> 00:45:07,022
going up stairways. And back
960
00:45:07,126 --> 00:45:09,860
when the show was on Netflix,
961
00:45:09,810 --> 00:45:12,810
and I was covering it up, it was
962
00:45:12,850 --> 00:45:15,594
funny to me I guess when they, when they got to the
963
00:45:15,602 --> 00:45:18,490
roof because about half, like
964
00:45:18,530 --> 00:45:21,470
when season two of Daredevil starts,
965
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:24,060
there's, there's a pretty iconic moment with
966
00:45:24,100 --> 00:45:27,030
Punisher and which led to some
967
00:45:27,070 --> 00:45:29,766
comments about how like, well, they're
968
00:45:29,798 --> 00:45:32,790
talking Daredevil because they're always talking about people being on
969
00:45:32,830 --> 00:45:35,750
roofs. I swear to
970
00:45:35,790 --> 00:45:38,092
God, in the Netflix Netflix
971
00:45:38,156 --> 00:45:40,780
Defender universe, I
972
00:45:40,820 --> 00:45:43,660
mean the amount of times you will, you will
973
00:45:43,700 --> 00:45:46,620
spend on rooftops, whether it's your heroes or
974
00:45:46,660 --> 00:45:49,500
your bad guys. And it's just like if you ever go to New York
975
00:45:49,540 --> 00:45:51,660
City, just always be looking up.
976
00:45:51,780 --> 00:45:54,604
Okay. Always
977
00:45:54,692 --> 00:45:57,418
look up. but, but yeah, I,
978
00:45:57,554 --> 00:46:00,314
I, I think the, just the
979
00:46:00,402 --> 00:46:02,390
execution of that
980
00:46:02,950 --> 00:46:05,550
and, and, and no need
981
00:46:05,670 --> 00:46:08,590
to explain to anyone or feel like
982
00:46:08,630 --> 00:46:11,130
you have to explain why
983
00:46:12,790 --> 00:46:15,130
that death is so,
984
00:46:15,930 --> 00:46:18,434
so harmful for the psyche of Matt
985
00:46:18,482 --> 00:46:21,444
Murdock. And and the,
986
00:46:21,612 --> 00:46:23,716
and it sparks, it has
987
00:46:25,004 --> 00:46:27,660
for it pushes him to
988
00:46:27,700 --> 00:46:30,700
retreat unlike anything else that could
989
00:46:30,740 --> 00:46:33,424
happen. and, and
990
00:46:33,512 --> 00:46:36,350
he does hang it up and we
991
00:46:36,300 --> 00:46:39,254
one year later we get re endorsed
992
00:46:39,382 --> 00:46:41,450
reintroduced to Matt Murdock
993
00:46:41,870 --> 00:46:44,246
and, and things are going fine
994
00:46:44,358 --> 00:46:46,696
until, until somebody else
995
00:46:46,808 --> 00:46:49,752
returns from the shadows. And that would
996
00:46:49,776 --> 00:46:52,514
be Fisk. But yeah, that scene, the,
997
00:46:52,602 --> 00:46:55,378
the diner scene, it's just because
998
00:46:55,434 --> 00:46:58,418
I'm Glad we got them speaking
999
00:46:58,514 --> 00:47:00,178
within the first episode.
1000
00:47:00,354 --> 00:47:01,026
>> Will: Y.
1001
00:47:01,178 --> 00:47:03,970
>> Sarah : And then to have a full blown one on
1002
00:47:04,010 --> 00:47:06,498
one conversation. And also just
1003
00:47:06,554 --> 00:47:09,346
perfect representation for why these
1004
00:47:09,418 --> 00:47:12,402
two are ideal foils for one
1005
00:47:12,426 --> 00:47:15,170
another in terms of. And
1006
00:47:15,210 --> 00:47:18,146
just the, the. You know, I love.
1007
00:47:18,218 --> 00:47:21,042
I prefer more of a verbal sparring than a
1008
00:47:21,066 --> 00:47:23,738
physical sparring. Sparring. Like the
1009
00:47:23,794 --> 00:47:26,554
verbal sparring just was
1010
00:47:26,642 --> 00:47:29,258
so great. I couldn't keep up with all of the
1011
00:47:29,314 --> 00:47:32,202
lines. I mean. And then at the end you
1012
00:47:32,226 --> 00:47:35,210
have. Fisk is like, I will not
1013
00:47:35,250 --> 00:47:37,434
tolerate men running around in silly
1014
00:47:37,482 --> 00:47:40,410
costumes. And then he's like, I love a man who can
1015
00:47:40,450 --> 00:47:42,790
rise above their nature. Good luck with that.
1016
00:47:45,410 --> 00:47:48,252
>> Will: And also throughout the red meat too, that you know, you know,
1017
00:47:48,276 --> 00:47:50,844
call. What to call out the Spider man too. Because again, just the
1018
00:47:50,852 --> 00:47:53,780
acknowledgment meant that, you know, with the historic
1019
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:56,580
other foil of Wilson Fisk
1020
00:47:57,080 --> 00:47:59,952
with Spider man too. So yeah, that was, that
1021
00:47:59,976 --> 00:48:02,912
was Chef's kiss as far as that moment and for me
1022
00:48:02,936 --> 00:48:05,824
as well. And you know, another thing too, like I said, I don't have the
1023
00:48:05,832 --> 00:48:08,832
history with the show like you do and the relationships with
1024
00:48:08,856 --> 00:48:11,260
Karen and Foggy and Matt, but
1025
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:14,328
yeah, it was. I'm glad
1026
00:48:14,424 --> 00:48:17,400
just to get back, just take it out of universe and get into
1027
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:20,384
production universe for a moment. You know, there was a
1028
00:48:20,392 --> 00:48:23,152
lot of discussions about this show and, and
1029
00:48:23,176 --> 00:48:26,144
Feige and a team realizing that, you know, and a
1030
00:48:26,152 --> 00:48:29,104
lot of fans were worried that when it was going to go into Disney plus that it
1031
00:48:29,112 --> 00:48:32,112
was going to lose its edge. And. And I would like
1032
00:48:32,136 --> 00:48:34,960
to hear your thoughts of whether or not it is lost
1033
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,020
as edge and there's only two episodes. But,
1034
00:48:37,830 --> 00:48:40,702
but your familiarity with it I would like to hear.
1035
00:48:40,806 --> 00:48:43,550
But I'm glad that they went the route that they did.
1036
00:48:43,670 --> 00:48:46,468
Scrapped whatever they had originally shot use
1037
00:48:46,524 --> 00:48:48,996
recycled what they could have and then brought back
1038
00:48:49,068 --> 00:48:52,050
Karen and Deborah annual. And. And
1039
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:54,888
the actor plays Foggy because that
1040
00:48:55,072 --> 00:48:57,976
all that was the right creative decision to go
1041
00:48:58,016 --> 00:49:00,616
to make this show work for. For people like
1042
00:49:00,656 --> 00:49:03,336
me who, who are probably, you know,
1043
00:49:03,376 --> 00:49:06,104
familiar with Daredevil Matt more so from
1044
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:09,048
seeing them m. In the mcu and also just. And people.
1045
00:49:09,152 --> 00:49:11,876
And you're listening to people like you talk about it,
1046
00:49:12,116 --> 00:49:14,628
the, The Netflix show. I mean I watched some of the. I did
1047
00:49:14,652 --> 00:49:17,436
watch some of the other Netflix shows as far as,
1048
00:49:17,386 --> 00:49:20,134
Jessica Jones and, And Luke Cage.
1049
00:49:20,310 --> 00:49:23,216
But but yeah, I, I thought that was definitely from
1050
00:49:23,256 --> 00:49:26,208
a. From a storytelling standpoint and I. As
1051
00:49:26,232 --> 00:49:29,054
soon as Foggy, when he, you know, whenever he had the little
1052
00:49:29,094 --> 00:49:31,986
nod, what was the Line. I'm paraphrasing here,
1053
00:49:32,010 --> 00:49:34,818
but, you know, acknowledge the, the, you know,
1054
00:49:34,906 --> 00:49:37,858
the past. But, looking for. Looking, you know, look to the future or, you
1055
00:49:37,866 --> 00:49:39,346
know, that's a scent it was right.
1056
00:49:39,370 --> 00:49:41,134
>> Sarah : Whenever they were talking about.
1057
00:49:42,214 --> 00:49:43,634
>> Will: Yeah. Nostalgia.
1058
00:49:44,134 --> 00:49:46,766
>> Sarah : Nostalgia is a reference to the past and hope for the
1059
00:49:46,790 --> 00:49:47,262
future.
1060
00:49:47,398 --> 00:49:50,398
>> Will: Future. Yeah. When you said that, I was like, I was like, oh,
1061
00:49:50,406 --> 00:49:51,234
he's dead.
1062
00:49:53,734 --> 00:49:56,360
>> Sarah : So, I didn't expect
1063
00:49:56,432 --> 00:49:58,936
anyone to die in that scene. But as it went
1064
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:01,464
on and, and clearly when he got
1065
00:50:01,504 --> 00:50:04,480
shot, so. And I'm sure
1066
00:50:04,552 --> 00:50:07,072
comic book nerds are going to come after me for saying this,
1067
00:50:07,128 --> 00:50:09,960
but. And I, and I'm not a comic book nerd. I've
1068
00:50:09,992 --> 00:50:12,904
never read the books. But from what I understand, because
1069
00:50:12,944 --> 00:50:15,160
this was brought up back when
1070
00:50:15,312 --> 00:50:17,992
Daredevil first premiered on Netflix
1071
00:50:18,168 --> 00:50:21,096
about this run this series, and
1072
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:24,104
I believe it's called Born Again. And the
1073
00:50:24,144 --> 00:50:26,488
whole premise is that
1074
00:50:26,576 --> 00:50:29,352
Bullseye was given an order from
1075
00:50:29,408 --> 00:50:31,324
Fisk to kill Karen.
1076
00:50:32,704 --> 00:50:35,650
So, so when, when, When Foggy
1077
00:50:35,682 --> 00:50:38,226
went down, I actually was like, oh, God,
1078
00:50:38,290 --> 00:50:40,898
Karen, they're gonna do it. This is why,
1079
00:50:41,066 --> 00:50:43,094
this is why at the beginning,
1080
00:50:44,214 --> 00:50:47,102
when casting announcements, like I remember you telling
1081
00:50:47,118 --> 00:50:50,062
me, yeah, Foggy's. Foggy's gonna return for Daredevil.
1082
00:50:50,078 --> 00:50:52,794
And I'm like, well, Karen has to come.
1083
00:50:53,254 --> 00:50:56,078
Yeah. And then. Yeah,
1084
00:50:56,206 --> 00:50:58,926
yeah. And then. Well, no, there was a delay. I
1085
00:50:58,950 --> 00:51:01,374
remember this. Like, I feel like even
1086
00:51:01,494 --> 00:51:04,488
Bernthal was announced before Karen was. There
1087
00:51:04,496 --> 00:51:07,272
was a delay, but now I'm starting to figure out,
1088
00:51:07,328 --> 00:51:10,136
like, Karen's gonna have a bigger part and they could still do
1089
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:13,112
this. They could very well. I mean, seasons two already
1090
00:51:13,168 --> 00:51:16,104
been greenlit that, that they actually
1091
00:51:16,224 --> 00:51:18,872
reserve that Karen's death to the end
1092
00:51:18,928 --> 00:51:20,804
because we all know
1093
00:51:21,584 --> 00:51:24,424
I'm all, I'm not, I'm not a Matt. Karen person. I
1094
00:51:24,464 --> 00:51:27,432
may. I met Karen and Frank person,
1095
00:51:27,568 --> 00:51:30,498
so, so do not Disney
1096
00:51:30,546 --> 00:51:33,506
plus Feige, if you
1097
00:51:33,610 --> 00:51:36,562
do not allow me some sort of closure for
1098
00:51:36,618 --> 00:51:38,694
this romantic entanglement,
1099
00:51:39,514 --> 00:51:41,774
this thing that never was,
1100
00:51:43,114 --> 00:51:45,874
I will turn off my subscription or at least
1101
00:51:45,914 --> 00:51:47,214
suspend it for a month.
1102
00:51:48,954 --> 00:51:51,842
Okay. Okay. But
1103
00:51:51,898 --> 00:51:54,680
anyways, so, so going
1104
00:51:54,752 --> 00:51:57,576
into it, especially when I figured out it was
1105
00:51:57,600 --> 00:51:59,992
Bullseye who was attacking, I was like,
1106
00:52:00,048 --> 00:52:02,644
okay, okay, I,
1107
00:52:02,944 --> 00:52:05,786
I, I get it. to
1108
00:52:05,810 --> 00:52:08,202
go back to your original question about the
1109
00:52:08,258 --> 00:52:11,246
whole, does it still retain an edge?
1110
00:52:11,390 --> 00:52:14,366
Not fully. Not fully. I
1111
00:52:14,390 --> 00:52:16,474
could, I could definitely tell,
1112
00:52:16,774 --> 00:52:19,678
especially the Korri there. There was some weird
1113
00:52:19,726 --> 00:52:22,284
CGI happening at moments during that
1114
00:52:22,324 --> 00:52:25,144
opening sequence there.
1115
00:52:26,164 --> 00:52:28,492
There's some interesting editing
1116
00:52:28,588 --> 00:52:31,436
choices just because, I mean, we're two
1117
00:52:31,460 --> 00:52:34,380
episodes in. It's Hard for me to tell if I'm
1118
00:52:34,412 --> 00:52:37,308
okay with it or not. I don't like the long
1119
00:52:37,396 --> 00:52:40,316
shots. It felt like there were a lot of long shots. It
1120
00:52:40,340 --> 00:52:43,180
felt like there were a few very
1121
00:52:43,252 --> 00:52:46,114
extended, montages
1122
00:52:46,694 --> 00:52:49,374
and just a lot of time of like us
1123
00:52:49,494 --> 00:52:52,350
standing on a roof with, with Fisk
1124
00:52:52,462 --> 00:52:55,454
looking down. And I'm like, when will
1125
00:52:55,494 --> 00:52:58,014
this sequence end? We get
1126
00:52:58,054 --> 00:52:58,634
it.
1127
00:53:01,894 --> 00:53:04,884
Like, I'm like. I'm like. It went on long enough. I could think
1128
00:53:04,924 --> 00:53:07,908
to myself, okay, so are we gonna get
1129
00:53:07,916 --> 00:53:10,628
a wide shot where he clearly is looking
1130
00:53:10,716 --> 00:53:13,700
at Matt? Because Matt's looking
1131
00:53:13,772 --> 00:53:16,596
up. So bizarre. I
1132
00:53:16,620 --> 00:53:18,784
just. So I,
1133
00:53:19,484 --> 00:53:22,324
and I. And I think it will never have that
1134
00:53:22,364 --> 00:53:24,884
same edge because part of the reason why
1135
00:53:25,004 --> 00:53:27,994
Daredevil season one, the
1136
00:53:28,034 --> 00:53:30,522
reaction was, is because it was
1137
00:53:30,658 --> 00:53:33,242
very fresh. And
1138
00:53:33,378 --> 00:53:36,042
albeit this is. I mean it's been 10
1139
00:53:36,098 --> 00:53:38,810
years and based on
1140
00:53:38,962 --> 00:53:41,214
recent Mar. MCU
1141
00:53:41,944 --> 00:53:44,672
television Ah, series, this is fresh and
1142
00:53:44,728 --> 00:53:47,248
different. But it's
1143
00:53:47,296 --> 00:53:50,064
also. It's in because of where it
1144
00:53:50,104 --> 00:53:53,088
comes from. It's never going to be like as fresh.
1145
00:53:53,136 --> 00:53:54,400
If that makes sense.
1146
00:53:54,512 --> 00:53:56,016
>> Will: Yeah, that makes sense.
1147
00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:58,894
>> Sarah : Yeah. Yeah. I, I don't, I don't.
1148
00:54:00,274 --> 00:54:03,050
As long as you have Charlie Cox as Matt
1149
00:54:03,082 --> 00:54:05,930
Murdock and Vincent D'Onofaro
1150
00:54:06,042 --> 00:54:08,494
as Fisk. Like,
1151
00:54:08,954 --> 00:54:11,906
that's, that's, that's. That's what you need. Okay. And then you
1152
00:54:11,930 --> 00:54:14,914
got Bernthal come in as, as
1153
00:54:14,954 --> 00:54:17,602
Punisher. Like the casting
1154
00:54:17,778 --> 00:54:19,954
is really on point with this.
1155
00:54:21,384 --> 00:54:24,374
And, Yeah.
1156
00:54:24,454 --> 00:54:27,158
And, and. And so as we talked about,
1157
00:54:27,326 --> 00:54:29,794
or I think we mentioned that one point,
1158
00:54:30,134 --> 00:54:32,848
Fisk. M. Fisk's whole
1159
00:54:32,896 --> 00:54:35,824
part is. Is very similar where.
1160
00:54:35,944 --> 00:54:38,896
Because we watched Echo, albeit we forgot about
1161
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:41,744
Echo, but we did watch it at one point in time.
1162
00:54:41,864 --> 00:54:44,736
We do know that Fisk has been out of commission
1163
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:47,616
for a while because Echo put him in
1164
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:50,112
his place. Children these
1165
00:54:50,168 --> 00:54:50,764
days.
1166
00:54:53,544 --> 00:54:56,416
Yeah. And. And so he comes back
1167
00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:58,804
only for. For Vanessa
1168
00:54:59,234 --> 00:55:02,186
to. To be Queen Bee and. And there be
1169
00:55:02,210 --> 00:55:04,374
some trouble in paradise for them.
1170
00:55:05,624 --> 00:55:08,000
and. And then we. And he.
1171
00:55:08,072 --> 00:55:10,672
He. Because he found
1172
00:55:10,808 --> 00:55:13,600
peace or something, clarity, he wants
1173
00:55:13,632 --> 00:55:16,522
to go legit. I. So to
1174
00:55:16,578 --> 00:55:19,370
move along to episode two optics.
1175
00:55:19,562 --> 00:55:22,218
Yeah, I, I find it
1176
00:55:22,386 --> 00:55:25,218
while watching it. I found both episodes
1177
00:55:25,266 --> 00:55:28,098
because I watched them both back to back same.
1178
00:55:28,266 --> 00:55:31,080
I, I found the second
1179
00:55:31,152 --> 00:55:33,924
episode to be interesting how
1180
00:55:35,104 --> 00:55:38,084
both of these characters are.
1181
00:55:38,704 --> 00:55:41,484
They are trying to maintain
1182
00:55:42,224 --> 00:55:44,808
that Persona who they presented
1183
00:55:44,856 --> 00:55:47,704
themselves as in the diner. Right. And you
1184
00:55:47,744 --> 00:55:50,632
see the, you see especially with Matt because he's
1185
00:55:50,648 --> 00:55:53,254
our main character. The build up and the
1186
00:55:53,294 --> 00:55:55,910
clear like, oh, you're going a bit sideways.
1187
00:55:56,022 --> 00:55:58,534
Okay. And Just it's, it's like a
1188
00:55:58,574 --> 00:56:01,554
tea teapot kettle during the final,
1189
00:56:01,574 --> 00:56:03,644
sequence, which we will get there.
1190
00:56:04,104 --> 00:56:06,990
But, I really appreciated
1191
00:56:07,022 --> 00:56:08,754
the subtlety with Fisk
1192
00:56:09,494 --> 00:56:12,222
because throughout the episode
1193
00:56:12,318 --> 00:56:14,734
you, you're like, yeah, yeah, fill that hole.
1194
00:56:14,814 --> 00:56:17,534
Okay. Yeah, yeah, they
1195
00:56:17,574 --> 00:56:20,522
elected you mayor, not governor. So I don't
1196
00:56:20,538 --> 00:56:23,322
know if you have as much power as you think you do, but
1197
00:56:23,378 --> 00:56:26,204
you fill that hole, sir. and then
1198
00:56:26,244 --> 00:56:28,684
leading up to this weird random
1199
00:56:28,764 --> 00:56:31,708
venting about, about a sandwich and,
1200
00:56:31,796 --> 00:56:34,652
and then, and then you see him lift the paper and it's like,
1201
00:56:34,708 --> 00:56:37,228
oh, you're blackmailing. Okay, yeah,
1202
00:56:37,276 --> 00:56:39,184
Fisk. Okay.
1203
00:56:41,044 --> 00:56:43,852
>> Will: Yeah. I like that whole sequence there because, especially
1204
00:56:43,908 --> 00:56:46,862
because you set, you know, you have everything set up with, with the police
1205
00:56:46,918 --> 00:56:49,806
chief and, you know, with the funeral and with,
1206
00:56:49,910 --> 00:56:52,454
you know, with the tiger, white,
1207
00:56:52,404 --> 00:56:55,062
tiger, being wrongfully accused.
1208
00:56:55,158 --> 00:56:57,286
But, you know, obviously, you know, you know,
1209
00:56:57,310 --> 00:56:59,514
NYPD B is
1210
00:57:01,124 --> 00:57:03,740
you know, thinking that, you know, he's a cop
1211
00:57:03,772 --> 00:57:06,494
killer. And and
1212
00:57:06,874 --> 00:57:09,746
so, yeah, so we get that. And then, but, but
1213
00:57:09,770 --> 00:57:12,328
also even I guess maybe going further back too, just
1214
00:57:12,466 --> 00:57:15,404
him just learning the trappings of being a mayor because
1215
00:57:15,444 --> 00:57:18,384
like the conversation he had with his campaign consultant,
1216
00:57:18,624 --> 00:57:21,306
and the chief of staff and just, you know, they
1217
00:57:21,330 --> 00:57:23,850
were, you know, the whole
1218
00:57:23,882 --> 00:57:26,666
optics and, and of it all and just
1219
00:57:26,690 --> 00:57:29,686
thinking, you know, as far as, him trying
1220
00:57:29,710 --> 00:57:32,434
to go straight and, and, and,
1221
00:57:32,814 --> 00:57:33,874
and just
1222
00:57:35,214 --> 00:57:37,514
figuring, you know, and the whole conversation.
1223
00:57:38,544 --> 00:57:39,288
Yeah.
1224
00:57:39,416 --> 00:57:42,408
>> Sarah : You know who he reminded me of? Especially
1225
00:57:42,496 --> 00:57:45,336
in the second episode? He reminded me of
1226
00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:47,404
our good old friend Oswald.
1227
00:57:47,824 --> 00:57:50,724
>> Will: Yes, yes, yes. I was getting
1228
00:57:51,024 --> 00:57:52,184
the whole time.
1229
00:57:52,304 --> 00:57:55,112
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah. I was just thinking about how
1230
00:57:55,168 --> 00:57:57,848
the fact that at the end of Penguin,
1231
00:57:57,976 --> 00:58:00,376
it's about Oswald getting into political
1232
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:03,288
power and how Fisk is
1233
00:58:03,376 --> 00:58:06,248
like, Fisk is the MCU version
1234
00:58:06,296 --> 00:58:09,288
of that. I mean, granted, Oswald has an
1235
00:58:09,376 --> 00:58:12,084
Oedipus complex and short syndrome,
1236
00:58:14,024 --> 00:58:16,672
and then Kingpin is like a huge
1237
00:58:16,768 --> 00:58:19,648
monster beast. but,
1238
00:58:19,736 --> 00:58:22,592
but it was, it, it was interesting that both
1239
00:58:22,648 --> 00:58:25,104
of them have this
1240
00:58:25,224 --> 00:58:27,484
parallel journey of
1241
00:58:27,784 --> 00:58:30,704
rising from the up the
1242
00:58:30,744 --> 00:58:33,600
ranks in the criminal world and then setting their
1243
00:58:33,672 --> 00:58:35,894
sights on so much more.
1244
00:58:36,544 --> 00:58:38,984
the, the bigger political game. Like,
1245
00:58:39,104 --> 00:58:41,832
like politics is very similar to
1246
00:58:41,888 --> 00:58:44,808
crime, let's just be honest. And, and I
1247
00:58:44,816 --> 00:58:47,800
think that's why the, the, the comic
1248
00:58:47,832 --> 00:58:50,120
book writers were able to set that
1249
00:58:50,272 --> 00:58:53,244
trajectory for some of these iconic villains.
1250
00:58:55,664 --> 00:58:58,536
>> Will: For sure. Yeah, yeah, that's a, that, that
1251
00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:01,480
the. I, I, I was as I was watching the episode. I'm glad you m. Brought
1252
00:59:01,512 --> 00:59:04,062
up Penguin because I was getting that same vibe as
1253
00:59:04,118 --> 00:59:06,624
well, with, with the
1254
00:59:06,664 --> 00:59:09,338
aesthetic and also just the the Fisk in
1255
00:59:09,346 --> 00:59:12,274
particular. you know, and also just a real, particular real
1256
00:59:12,314 --> 00:59:14,424
world person too. But won't go there. But,
1257
00:59:14,984 --> 00:59:17,258
Yeah, but yeah, you're not shy.
1258
00:59:17,306 --> 00:59:18,618
>> Sarah : About that at all.
1259
00:59:18,786 --> 00:59:21,464
>> Will: Not at all. Not at all. But, yeah,
1260
00:59:21,544 --> 00:59:22,470
but can we.
1261
00:59:22,542 --> 00:59:25,168
>> Sarah : Well, let's, let's go back to, to what you've
1262
00:59:25,216 --> 00:59:28,094
mentioned before about the the framing of
1263
00:59:28,134 --> 00:59:30,686
White Tiger. Because what,
1264
00:59:30,870 --> 00:59:33,728
What I really enjoyed was that there was
1265
00:59:33,768 --> 00:59:36,720
a mention. Not only a mention, because
1266
00:59:36,744 --> 00:59:38,896
they mentioned a lot of other New York
1267
00:59:38,952 --> 00:59:41,856
vigilantes crime fighters
1268
00:59:42,032 --> 00:59:44,928
in the first episode, but they more.
1269
00:59:45,048 --> 00:59:47,696
More specifically showed an image of White
1270
00:59:47,752 --> 00:59:50,496
Tiger and then never spoken about
1271
00:59:50,552 --> 00:59:51,420
again. Right?
1272
00:59:51,544 --> 00:59:52,324
>> Will: Nope. Right.
1273
00:59:52,396 --> 00:59:54,820
>> Sarah : Fast forward into episode
1274
00:59:54,884 --> 00:59:57,348
two and, and we see this
1275
00:59:57,388 --> 01:00:00,132
guy who's trying to separate
1276
01:00:00,180 --> 01:00:03,008
these two and then next thing you know,
1277
01:00:03,388 --> 01:00:06,164
he throws someone in front of a train. Okay.
1278
01:00:06,356 --> 01:00:09,252
It just happens. Okay. It happens to the best of
1279
01:00:09,260 --> 01:00:12,052
us. And then, and then we. Cherry
1280
01:00:12,100 --> 01:00:14,788
discovers the White Tiger outfit. I can
1281
01:00:14,828 --> 01:00:17,332
appreciate, like we didn't
1282
01:00:17,380 --> 01:00:19,938
need. There. There
1283
01:00:19,978 --> 01:00:22,818
was. There was either you got it
1284
01:00:22,858 --> 01:00:25,778
or. And you understood it just like Cherry did or
1285
01:00:25,818 --> 01:00:28,594
you didn't like there. And
1286
01:00:28,666 --> 01:00:31,106
I appreciate that. I don't. I don't feel
1287
01:00:31,162 --> 01:00:33,826
like they dumbed any of that
1288
01:00:33,882 --> 01:00:36,566
down. and I also like the fact
1289
01:00:36,622 --> 01:00:39,574
that Cherry is introduced in the very
1290
01:00:39,646 --> 01:00:42,178
first episode in the bar
1291
01:00:42,478 --> 01:00:45,250
and he's talking about the vigilantes because
1292
01:00:45,274 --> 01:00:48,098
he's a cop. And he at the
1293
01:00:48,138 --> 01:00:51,026
end of that sequence discovers Matt
1294
01:00:51,202 --> 01:00:53,938
being Daredevil and
1295
01:00:54,058 --> 01:00:56,466
one year later, just who he has
1296
01:00:56,522 --> 01:00:58,786
become to Matt.
1297
01:00:58,962 --> 01:00:59,778
>> Will: Yeah.
1298
01:01:00,168 --> 01:01:02,784
>> Sarah : and as the investigator
1299
01:01:02,976 --> 01:01:05,744
as it just. I, I really
1300
01:01:05,816 --> 01:01:08,224
appreciate that quick and
1301
01:01:08,296 --> 01:01:11,008
seamless relationship
1302
01:01:11,088 --> 01:01:13,404
development for the viewer.
1303
01:01:13,596 --> 01:01:15,860
Yeah, especially a new
1304
01:01:15,916 --> 01:01:18,788
relationship and even ah, what's
1305
01:01:18,820 --> 01:01:21,360
her name? Chris. Christine.
1306
01:01:21,536 --> 01:01:22,576
>> Will: Yeah, the other lawyer.
1307
01:01:22,624 --> 01:01:24,772
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah, yeah,
1308
01:01:25,112 --> 01:01:27,444
yeah. yeah. And. And even the
1309
01:01:27,468 --> 01:01:30,402
girlfriend, who. Who is now doing
1310
01:01:30,442 --> 01:01:33,282
marriage counseling for the fist. I mean, God help
1311
01:01:33,322 --> 01:01:35,762
her. God help
1312
01:01:35,802 --> 01:01:36,362
her.
1313
01:01:37,092 --> 01:01:39,884
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, that's the other part. So I did like
1314
01:01:39,908 --> 01:01:42,892
too, especially like in episode. Episode two with
1315
01:01:42,932 --> 01:01:45,622
the With When Matt was defending,
1316
01:01:46,592 --> 01:01:49,424
White, Tiger and And just the, the
1317
01:01:49,448 --> 01:01:52,320
legal tactics that were going on as far as.
1318
01:01:52,456 --> 01:01:55,152
Because I know that was one of the things too that they were. They
1319
01:01:55,192 --> 01:01:57,860
were said they were going to highlight in, in
1320
01:01:57,916 --> 01:02:00,900
this continuation of the, of the show,
1321
01:02:00,956 --> 01:02:03,722
which is, you know, what, what is, you know,
1322
01:02:03,762 --> 01:02:06,714
Matt, you know, Matt is an attorney and, and you know,
1323
01:02:06,738 --> 01:02:09,722
and also, you know, whereas before, you
1324
01:02:09,762 --> 01:02:12,554
know, he, you know, one year prior
1325
01:02:12,618 --> 01:02:15,434
to all this, he was, you know, fighting with his fist. Now
1326
01:02:15,458 --> 01:02:18,092
he's, he is fighting a system
1327
01:02:18,472 --> 01:02:21,184
and protecting people, you know, with his. With
1328
01:02:21,208 --> 01:02:23,664
his legal skills and other things like that.
1329
01:02:23,768 --> 01:02:26,768
So I really liked. I like to sort of the pivot
1330
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:29,792
that they made there as. As well with, you know, showing,
1331
01:02:29,872 --> 01:02:32,672
you know, showing Matt defend. You know, now
1332
01:02:32,712 --> 01:02:35,360
defending the potential, you know, another
1333
01:02:35,416 --> 01:02:37,532
vigilante, you know, given that he is
1334
01:02:38,232 --> 01:02:39,492
hung up. The cow.
1335
01:02:40,312 --> 01:02:41,984
>> Sarah : Well, yeah. And that.
1336
01:02:42,088 --> 01:02:44,960
>> Will: Well, and he says, you know, he suspected something more
1337
01:02:45,016 --> 01:02:47,212
was going on. So, you know, to your point,
1338
01:02:48,102 --> 01:02:50,894
you know. Yeah, I think whenever Cherry was looking around the
1339
01:02:50,918 --> 01:02:51,984
house, you know, it.
1340
01:02:52,008 --> 01:02:54,800
>> Sarah : Just, you know, it didn't add up. Yeah. Like,
1341
01:02:54,856 --> 01:02:57,152
Matt has very good instincts,
1342
01:02:57,802 --> 01:03:00,116
and a sense of, hearing.
1343
01:03:00,276 --> 01:03:03,220
But I like that idea about
1344
01:03:03,308 --> 01:03:05,956
justice. And that's really what they're delving
1345
01:03:06,036 --> 01:03:08,976
into this season is,
1346
01:03:09,366 --> 01:03:11,982
Because now he's a.
1347
01:03:12,134 --> 01:03:14,478
Arguably a victim of
1348
01:03:14,662 --> 01:03:16,826
injustice. I mean, he was.
1349
01:03:17,526 --> 01:03:20,302
That's where the statement was going. And then Karen walked
1350
01:03:20,334 --> 01:03:23,028
in. But this. What I found
1351
01:03:23,132 --> 01:03:26,118
amusing about the, the Hector
1352
01:03:26,182 --> 01:03:29,142
of it all and the conversation,
1353
01:03:29,254 --> 01:03:32,150
the legal conversation, where
1354
01:03:32,238 --> 01:03:35,174
Matt gets his first quote, unquote victory of the.
1355
01:03:35,230 --> 01:03:37,416
Of the series and, and
1356
01:03:37,456 --> 01:03:40,216
manages that, like, says,
1357
01:03:40,336 --> 01:03:42,776
okay, we can. We can't talk about him being White
1358
01:03:42,816 --> 01:03:45,704
Tiger. It's just prejudice. I.
1359
01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:48,738
I just like. And I think at one point,
1360
01:03:48,872 --> 01:03:51,614
he. He wasn't holding the mystical
1361
01:03:51,710 --> 01:03:54,702
stone. We'll
1362
01:03:54,734 --> 01:03:57,726
say that for us. To us. Not only does
1363
01:03:57,766 --> 01:04:00,766
he say it with a straight face, everyone
1364
01:04:00,886 --> 01:04:03,422
reacts like, oh, well. Well,
1365
01:04:03,494 --> 01:04:05,706
yeah, it's like
1366
01:04:07,286 --> 01:04:10,164
just the. Yeah. We are in, We are in this
1367
01:04:10,220 --> 01:04:12,788
world. This is an MCU world. These things have
1368
01:04:12,812 --> 01:04:15,608
happened. Aliens have hit this earth. Yeah. It's New
1369
01:04:15,632 --> 01:04:18,344
York City. Aliens has been there, like,
1370
01:04:18,400 --> 01:04:21,312
forever. but it's just. It's
1371
01:04:21,344 --> 01:04:24,160
so funny. But I also just this.
1372
01:04:24,248 --> 01:04:26,476
This theme which
1373
01:04:27,016 --> 01:04:29,712
has led over from the original three
1374
01:04:29,784 --> 01:04:32,576
seasons about that the
1375
01:04:32,616 --> 01:04:35,296
difference between not only a
1376
01:04:35,336 --> 01:04:38,038
hero and, or superhero and a
1377
01:04:38,062 --> 01:04:40,550
vigilante, but also an anti
1378
01:04:40,598 --> 01:04:41,306
hero.
1379
01:04:41,636 --> 01:04:42,444
>> Will: Yeah.
1380
01:04:42,620 --> 01:04:45,212
>> Sarah : Because in an anti hero, we get more
1381
01:04:45,284 --> 01:04:47,436
from when. Once Punisher
1382
01:04:47,516 --> 01:04:50,478
arrives. which, I'm sorry, Disney plus work on
1383
01:04:50,502 --> 01:04:53,146
your freaking marketing. I don't want to hear
1384
01:04:53,606 --> 01:04:56,014
any monologues from John
1385
01:04:56,070 --> 01:04:58,702
Barnthal until I watch the show.
1386
01:04:58,774 --> 01:05:00,586
Okay, stop playing
1387
01:05:01,446 --> 01:05:04,046
these. I. I swear to God, I'm so
1388
01:05:04,166 --> 01:05:07,136
angry at them. And then I like how I have the. The
1389
01:05:07,176 --> 01:05:10,144
subscription where ads play
1390
01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:13,024
and they're playing ads for Daredevil. I'm like, I'm. I'm
1391
01:05:13,040 --> 01:05:15,776
watching it. Like, why are you telling.
1392
01:05:15,856 --> 01:05:18,576
Trying to sell me on a show I'm watching. It makes no
1393
01:05:18,616 --> 01:05:19,216
sense.
1394
01:05:19,376 --> 01:05:22,352
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah. Speaking of. Speaking of Punisher, did you did you notice the
1395
01:05:22,356 --> 01:05:25,002
punisher tattoo on the cop that at the end episode
1396
01:05:25,034 --> 01:05:25,562
two?
1397
01:05:25,714 --> 01:05:28,698
>> Sarah : Yes. And from what I understand that means he is a dirty
1398
01:05:28,762 --> 01:05:31,194
cop. Yeah, yeah,
1399
01:05:31,290 --> 01:05:34,246
yeah, he's a dirty cop. And
1400
01:05:35,276 --> 01:05:37,866
like they're, they're. I I.
1401
01:05:38,406 --> 01:05:41,262
Okay, let's get into the final scene. So the final
1402
01:05:41,334 --> 01:05:43,726
scene is, is
1403
01:05:43,846 --> 01:05:46,670
Matt chasing down Nikki
1404
01:05:46,718 --> 01:05:48,946
who is the only witness
1405
01:05:49,846 --> 01:05:52,414
to prove that Hector did not
1406
01:05:52,470 --> 01:05:54,644
actually kill this
1407
01:05:54,700 --> 01:05:57,106
detective, this police officer who was
1408
01:05:57,146 --> 01:05:59,878
undercover. and, and
1409
01:06:00,072 --> 01:06:02,858
quickly after he finds Nikki. So do
1410
01:06:02,962 --> 01:06:05,898
the, the NYPD who are out to,
1411
01:06:06,002 --> 01:06:08,848
to get them and then, This is the
1412
01:06:08,872 --> 01:06:11,504
best fight sequence we've gotten. Oh
1413
01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:14,320
yeah, this, this was
1414
01:06:14,408 --> 01:06:17,184
so good. And this was really like. Yes.
1415
01:06:17,280 --> 01:06:20,112
The, like this scene. If
1416
01:06:20,184 --> 01:06:23,056
we can go back to that original question about the edge.
1417
01:06:23,136 --> 01:06:26,036
Did they retain the edge at. And
1418
01:06:26,076 --> 01:06:29,012
the violence. And it wasn't violent for the sake
1419
01:06:29,044 --> 01:06:31,896
of being violence. There's a clear difference.
1420
01:06:32,396 --> 01:06:35,316
Go watch an episode of the Boys and then come
1421
01:06:35,356 --> 01:06:38,100
back very
1422
01:06:38,188 --> 01:06:41,044
different. And, and I love the boys, but
1423
01:06:41,100 --> 01:06:44,036
sometimes they go too far. But the
1424
01:06:44,156 --> 01:06:46,660
edit just, it was so
1425
01:06:46,748 --> 01:06:49,412
well choreographed. I remember
1426
01:06:49,604 --> 01:06:52,004
when we were watching Echo and we
1427
01:06:52,060 --> 01:06:55,036
saw we, we Daredevil
1428
01:06:55,116 --> 01:06:57,916
scene and I told you like this
1429
01:06:57,956 --> 01:07:00,776
choreo is Daredevil Choreo. Like
1430
01:07:01,476 --> 01:07:04,044
I don't know who they have on it,
1431
01:07:04,180 --> 01:07:06,972
but the, the hand to hand combat is
1432
01:07:07,044 --> 01:07:09,676
just so well choreographed.
1433
01:07:09,756 --> 01:07:12,296
It's, it's great. And,
1434
01:07:12,996 --> 01:07:15,804
and also, and I want to hear your thoughts on
1435
01:07:15,860 --> 01:07:18,668
this because I've, I, I found it very. And a
1436
01:07:18,692 --> 01:07:20,496
very interesting observation.
1437
01:07:20,876 --> 01:07:21,386
>> Will: Sure.
1438
01:07:21,386 --> 01:07:24,166
>> Sarah : when he, when Matt is on the floor
1439
01:07:24,506 --> 01:07:27,326
and the gun is pointed to his head,
1440
01:07:28,026 --> 01:07:30,706
who is he saying don't do
1441
01:07:30,746 --> 01:07:33,586
this to? Is he saying don't do
1442
01:07:33,626 --> 01:07:36,514
this to the, the
1443
01:07:36,570 --> 01:07:39,442
police officer or is he saying don't do this
1444
01:07:39,514 --> 01:07:40,726
to himself?
1445
01:07:41,066 --> 01:07:43,606
>> Will: He's talking. I took it as he was talking to himself.
1446
01:07:43,946 --> 01:07:46,860
>> Sarah : Okay. Interesting. Okay.
1447
01:07:47,018 --> 01:07:49,944
That. Wow. I, I should have. For
1448
01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:52,872
some reason I was thinking it was the other
1449
01:07:52,944 --> 01:07:53,596
guy.
1450
01:07:56,816 --> 01:07:58,236
>> Will: Yeah. And I guess.
1451
01:07:59,856 --> 01:08:02,840
Yeah, yeah. No, I, I guess the reason why I fault
1452
01:08:02,888 --> 01:08:05,316
that was just thinking back to the first episode.
1453
01:08:05,886 --> 01:08:08,796
>> Will: And, and, and, and, and you know,
1454
01:08:08,836 --> 01:08:10,936
trying to turn over a new leaf and
1455
01:08:11,556 --> 01:08:14,016
he, you know, he just,
1456
01:08:14,556 --> 01:08:17,428
you know, he really, he's really trying to get past that life. And
1457
01:08:17,452 --> 01:08:19,936
then especially when his reaction at the end
1458
01:08:20,236 --> 01:08:23,188
really just doubled down. Doubled down for me that he
1459
01:08:23,212 --> 01:08:25,906
was just like. I got, I'm you know, I'm trying
1460
01:08:25,946 --> 01:08:28,674
to not go down his path again and,
1461
01:08:28,730 --> 01:08:30,338
and, and here we are.
1462
01:08:30,522 --> 01:08:32,994
>> Sarah : Well, it's more fix was
1463
01:08:33,050 --> 01:08:33,646
right.
1464
01:08:34,026 --> 01:08:36,386
>> Will: Yeah. That, well, that's yeah, yeah, thanks. To
1465
01:08:36,426 --> 01:08:37,224
clarify.
1466
01:08:37,370 --> 01:08:40,220
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah, it's that I, I, that
1467
01:08:40,308 --> 01:08:43,308
moment of him screaming. I was like,
1468
01:08:43,332 --> 01:08:46,044
yes. End scene moving, like,
1469
01:08:46,100 --> 01:08:48,988
that's it. We don't need anything else. We don't need a
1470
01:08:49,012 --> 01:08:51,576
montage or anything because
1471
01:08:52,436 --> 01:08:55,176
I, I don't know.
1472
01:08:57,156 --> 01:08:59,452
His fingerprints are all over the place.
1473
01:08:59,604 --> 01:09:00,172
>> Will: Yeah.
1474
01:09:00,284 --> 01:09:02,816
>> Sarah : Blood. He clearly killed those guys.
1475
01:09:03,166 --> 01:09:05,506
Like, I,
1476
01:09:05,886 --> 01:09:08,422
it's, and, and the fact he's already
1477
01:09:08,494 --> 01:09:11,286
rep, he's representing a,
1478
01:09:11,406 --> 01:09:14,108
A, an accused cop
1479
01:09:14,172 --> 01:09:16,764
killer. Only for him to have just killed two
1480
01:09:16,820 --> 01:09:19,596
cops. I get it, I get it.
1481
01:09:19,636 --> 01:09:22,524
Self defense, arguably. But, but at the same
1482
01:09:22,580 --> 01:09:24,844
time, like, it. I do
1483
01:09:24,900 --> 01:09:27,610
appreciate, an ending
1484
01:09:27,738 --> 01:09:30,576
of, of an episode of television in this
1485
01:09:30,616 --> 01:09:33,488
genre where I'm like, okay, well, how do they
1486
01:09:33,512 --> 01:09:36,272
get out of that? They, they better have a good way.
1487
01:09:36,344 --> 01:09:39,168
I know they're going to. But, but how do
1488
01:09:39,192 --> 01:09:42,080
you, how do you clean that up? You get Cherry on the phone
1489
01:09:42,128 --> 01:09:43,008
right away.
1490
01:09:43,192 --> 01:09:45,952
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, Jerry, you're, yeah,
1491
01:09:46,064 --> 01:09:47,516
get here now.
1492
01:09:47,896 --> 01:09:50,480
>> Sarah : Get here now and bring some. I don't know.
1493
01:09:50,568 --> 01:09:53,392
So we, we got, we got some bodies to get rid of.
1494
01:09:53,464 --> 01:09:56,260
>> Will: We got, yeah, we got, we got, we got some
1495
01:09:56,268 --> 01:09:59,140
bodies to get rid of. We got some fingerprints to, like, clean
1496
01:09:59,188 --> 01:10:01,956
up. Yeah, we got, we got, we gotta, we gotta make this place
1497
01:10:01,996 --> 01:10:02,772
clean.
1498
01:10:02,964 --> 01:10:05,756
>> Sarah : Yeah, but, and, and,
1499
01:10:07,166 --> 01:10:09,702
yeah, it just, I, I really
1500
01:10:09,774 --> 01:10:11,346
like how,
1501
01:10:12,926 --> 01:10:15,798
I mean, let's, okay. To kind of
1502
01:10:15,822 --> 01:10:18,710
close it out. You have the opening
1503
01:10:18,758 --> 01:10:20,346
of the first episode
1504
01:10:21,166 --> 01:10:23,734
with. And him. In that moment, right
1505
01:10:23,790 --> 01:10:26,374
after, like, Foggy dies, he
1506
01:10:26,430 --> 01:10:29,158
tosses Bullseye off the
1507
01:10:29,182 --> 01:10:29,990
roof, Right?
1508
01:10:30,078 --> 01:10:31,062
>> Will: Yep, Yep.
1509
01:10:31,174 --> 01:10:33,478
>> Sarah : FYI, I still don't know why Bullseye's alive, but
1510
01:10:33,502 --> 01:10:36,388
whatever. and, and in
1511
01:10:36,412 --> 01:10:38,980
that moment, like, that was out of pain,
1512
01:10:39,108 --> 01:10:41,256
grief and sadness.
1513
01:10:41,916 --> 01:10:44,016
And so it'll be
1514
01:10:44,556 --> 01:10:47,416
interesting to kind of
1515
01:10:47,456 --> 01:10:50,056
understand. Okay,
1516
01:10:50,136 --> 01:10:52,280
so, so what's the self
1517
01:10:52,328 --> 01:10:54,946
justification at the end of episode,
1518
01:10:55,492 --> 01:10:58,400
two, you just killed two people.
1519
01:10:59,980 --> 01:11:02,842
so, so, and I get it. Like, they're the
1520
01:11:02,866 --> 01:11:05,818
bad guys, but at the same time, they are people and
1521
01:11:05,874 --> 01:11:08,230
you're supposedly a hero. So,
1522
01:11:08,930 --> 01:11:11,790
like, like, I, I, I think, think why
1523
01:11:11,830 --> 01:11:14,414
it works so well. On top of everything
1524
01:11:14,502 --> 01:11:17,486
we've, we've just gone through with that scene
1525
01:11:17,598 --> 01:11:20,030
is the, the fact that they are also
1526
01:11:20,150 --> 01:11:22,558
proving Fisk is not
1527
01:11:22,614 --> 01:11:25,070
entirely wrong about his assessment of
1528
01:11:25,110 --> 01:11:27,726
Daredevil and Matt
1529
01:11:27,758 --> 01:11:28,638
Murdock.
1530
01:11:28,814 --> 01:11:29,650
>> Will: Yep.
1531
01:11:30,310 --> 01:11:33,230
>> Sarah : Which, which we love a villain who
1532
01:11:33,270 --> 01:11:35,210
can be right some of the time
1533
01:11:36,310 --> 01:11:39,208
because that makes them more menacing. Missing. We don't
1534
01:11:39,224 --> 01:11:40,856
want a stupid villain.
1535
01:11:41,048 --> 01:11:44,008
>> Will: No, no, not at all. Yeah,
1536
01:11:44,104 --> 01:11:46,820
so, yeah, that's, that's a very good point. And
1537
01:11:47,360 --> 01:11:50,200
yeah, you know, I I. Whenever this
1538
01:11:50,240 --> 01:11:53,240
episode ended, I was like, okay, I'm ready. I. I
1539
01:11:53,280 --> 01:11:55,880
am, I am ready for. For the next
1540
01:11:55,920 --> 01:11:58,880
episode because, and
1541
01:11:59,420 --> 01:12:02,020
because of what you just shared there and. And
1542
01:12:02,060 --> 01:12:04,640
also, you know, it also, you know,
1543
01:12:04,680 --> 01:12:07,680
Matt's, you know, he's, you know, he's also very religious and everything else too.
1544
01:12:07,720 --> 01:12:10,528
So there's so many things that in that
1545
01:12:10,584 --> 01:12:13,392
moment, whenever he was, you know, at that point, he was just trying to fight
1546
01:12:13,416 --> 01:12:16,302
for survival. But, But you're right. You know
1547
01:12:16,326 --> 01:12:18,862
what. Yeah, part of it was just, you
1548
01:12:18,886 --> 01:12:21,358
know, part of that motivation was to fight.
1549
01:12:21,414 --> 01:12:23,790
Just, you know, I gotta live. And.
1550
01:12:23,830 --> 01:12:24,798
>> Sarah : Yeah, and.
1551
01:12:24,934 --> 01:12:27,646
>> Will: But. But then at the same time, you know, he.
1552
01:12:27,718 --> 01:12:30,482
He like, went over that line, and, you
1553
01:12:30,506 --> 01:12:33,426
know, definitely kill one, maybe two people
1554
01:12:33,498 --> 01:12:36,386
there and then, like. Yeah. So it.
1555
01:12:36,458 --> 01:12:39,362
It's gonna be. As
