00:00:00.350 --> 00:00:03.350
>> Sarah : Greetings, nerds. This is Scene N Nerd. I'm your host, Sarah Belmont. And

1
00:00:03.358 --> 00:00:06.102
with me, as always, is our mister producer, Will polk. How are you doing

2
00:00:06.134 --> 00:00:06.870
tonight, Will?

3
00:00:06.998 --> 00:00:09.238
>> Will: Doing very well, Sarah. How you doing this evening?

4
00:00:09.422 --> 00:00:12.398
>> Sarah : Good. It's our last recording of May.

5
00:00:12.582 --> 00:00:15.398
>> Will: It is. I know this month is,

6
00:00:15.422 --> 00:00:16.626
like, zip by.

7
00:00:17.286 --> 00:00:19.830
>> Sarah : Yeah. I don't know. It's been a weird month.

8
00:00:19.998 --> 00:00:22.814
Yeah. April just happened,

9
00:00:22.910 --> 00:00:25.766
and then the. I almost can break

10
00:00:25.806 --> 00:00:28.542
up this month into two sections because I had that

11
00:00:28.574 --> 00:00:31.346
whole jury duty fiasco go on

12
00:00:32.286 --> 00:00:35.214
top of other things. So I'm just

13
00:00:35.270 --> 00:00:38.164
like. I'm like, well, we've made it to the finish line.

14
00:00:38.300 --> 00:00:39.948
Who knows what June, Will.

15
00:00:40.092 --> 00:00:43.068
>> Will: Yeah, true, true. Yeah, I guess I

16
00:00:43.092 --> 00:00:45.868
had. I had some work travel this month,

17
00:00:45.932 --> 00:00:48.804
so, which, you know, it was only like a week or so ago,

18
00:00:48.860 --> 00:00:50.736
but it seems like it was much.

19
00:00:51.636 --> 00:00:54.620
It was further back. But the cool thing about it when,

20
00:00:54.748 --> 00:00:57.646
for our walking dead fans, I was.

21
00:00:57.766 --> 00:01:00.052
I was in Lexington, Kentucky, and normaritus,

22
00:01:00.834 --> 00:01:03.810
has a restaurant there. And, so

23
00:01:03.858 --> 00:01:05.982
I was actually, I think I sent you some pictures of it.

24
00:01:06.626 --> 00:01:09.470
yes. and, so, yeah, if you're

25
00:01:09.486 --> 00:01:12.132
ever like Kentucky, go. Go check out his, his

26
00:01:12.172 --> 00:01:15.084
restaurant. It's like norm. Oh, gosh. I'm blank on the name now,

27
00:01:15.148 --> 00:01:18.032
but, but he and another co partner,

28
00:01:17.998 --> 00:01:20.134
their names are part of it. And,

29
00:01:20.938 --> 00:01:23.810
yeah, you should go check it out. It's

30
00:01:23.834 --> 00:01:26.520
got all kind of walking dead, like, memorabilia and

31
00:01:26.544 --> 00:01:29.450
stuff and all throughout, all throughout the

32
00:01:29.474 --> 00:01:29.658
place.

33
00:01:29.698 --> 00:01:32.354
>> Sarah : So now, okay, correct me if I'm

34
00:01:32.386 --> 00:01:35.250
wrong. You have you. Did you watch the

35
00:01:35.274 --> 00:01:36.722
walking dead or did you not?

36
00:01:36.850 --> 00:01:39.810
>> Will: I did not. I just. But, you know, but it's sort of

37
00:01:39.834 --> 00:01:42.770
like, you know, like one of the topics on our, on our run sheet

38
00:01:42.794 --> 00:01:45.512
tonight, it was one of those things that due,

39
00:01:45.728 --> 00:01:48.696
to, like, black Twitter. I didn't have to

40
00:01:48.736 --> 00:01:51.568
watch it because I was like, oh, I kind of was able to,

41
00:01:51.592 --> 00:01:53.686
like, follow it, sort of like them thrones.

42
00:01:55.616 --> 00:01:58.528
So kind of like, I was kind of familiar with it without actually watching

43
00:01:58.552 --> 00:01:59.116
it.

44
00:01:59.616 --> 00:02:02.384
>> Sarah : Right, right. I mean.

45
00:02:02.520 --> 00:02:05.368
I mean, when it first came out,

46
00:02:05.432 --> 00:02:08.376
there was like, everyone was talking about it every,

47
00:02:08.456 --> 00:02:11.424
those first three to four seasons, and I

48
00:02:11.440 --> 00:02:13.796
was late. I think I came on board

49
00:02:14.136 --> 00:02:16.688
right before the fourth season started

50
00:02:16.872 --> 00:02:19.720
airing, and then I think I dropped off

51
00:02:19.768 --> 00:02:21.156
around the 7th.

52
00:02:22.986 --> 00:02:25.946
and then everyone talks about how, like, oh, if you had just

53
00:02:25.986 --> 00:02:28.938
waited, there were a few seasons later when it

54
00:02:28.962 --> 00:02:31.844
got, like, better again. and

55
00:02:31.868 --> 00:02:34.796
I never. And I always had it in back of my mind. Oh, I should return.

56
00:02:34.884 --> 00:02:37.820
Never did. But I swear, when I first

57
00:02:37.876 --> 00:02:40.436
got into that, I

58
00:02:40.524 --> 00:02:43.444
rewatched the first three seasons, three

59
00:02:43.468 --> 00:02:46.276
to four seasons, over and over and

60
00:02:46.324 --> 00:02:49.212
over again, to the point where, like, I knew lines and

61
00:02:49.252 --> 00:02:51.982
all this stuff. It was. It was pretty bad.

62
00:02:53.022 --> 00:02:55.990
but. But I don't know. There was just.

63
00:02:56.046 --> 00:02:58.942
It was a moment, and I think it just lasted

64
00:02:58.982 --> 00:03:01.774
way too long. Yeah. Despite

65
00:03:01.838 --> 00:03:04.782
it, people saying it gets better at the end. It's just like. Yeah,

66
00:03:04.822 --> 00:03:07.806
but still there. There's

67
00:03:07.854 --> 00:03:10.798
so much other stuff going on that it's.

68
00:03:10.910 --> 00:03:13.870
It's really hard to maintain a long running show

69
00:03:13.966 --> 00:03:15.328
like that these days.

70
00:03:15.470 --> 00:03:18.300
>> Will: It really is. Yeah. And the

71
00:03:18.316 --> 00:03:21.200
restaurants, called Nic and Norman's, his business partners, Nic And

72
00:03:21.216 --> 00:03:22.738
then, of course, Norman is the.

73
00:03:23.462 --> 00:03:25.722
>> Sarah : Nic and Norman. That sounds.

74
00:03:26.182 --> 00:03:26.962
>> Will: Yeah.

75
00:03:27.942 --> 00:03:28.922
>> Sarah : Such a

76
00:03:30.182 --> 00:03:32.182
1960s show, Nic

77
00:03:32.222 --> 00:03:32.802
>> Will: Yeah.

78
00:03:33.422 --> 00:03:33.734
>> Sarah : Yeah.

79
00:03:33.758 --> 00:03:36.720
>> Will: I guess they have. I guess it's a little franchise. And, Yeah.

80
00:03:36.768 --> 00:03:39.290
So, Yeah, so the. One of the, like I said, if you're ever likes to

81
00:03:39.314 --> 00:03:41.804
Kentucky, just right down the street from Rep

82
00:03:41.836 --> 00:03:44.140
arena, for Kentucky Wildcat fans.

83
00:03:44.720 --> 00:03:47.560
>> Sarah : So, I mean, then let's just use this

84
00:03:47.600 --> 00:03:49.506
topic to lead into that topic of,

85
00:03:50.234 --> 00:03:52.882
you've written on here, and I know nothing about

86
00:03:52.938 --> 00:03:55.780
this. they are releasing on Hulu, a

87
00:03:55.812 --> 00:03:58.020
documentary on Black Twitter.

88
00:03:58.172 --> 00:04:01.004
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah. It's actually was. It was first premiered at south

89
00:04:01.044 --> 00:04:04.026
by Southwest, and then it, dropped on

90
00:04:04.050 --> 00:04:06.652
Hulu this month, may 9, I want to

91
00:04:06.668 --> 00:04:09.310
say. And I had heard about it, but,

92
00:04:09.584 --> 00:04:11.304
I was listening to a podcast

93
00:04:11.424 --> 00:04:14.224
yesterday, and they were talking

94
00:04:14.264 --> 00:04:17.088
about it on that show, actually, they were interviewing

95
00:04:17.136 --> 00:04:19.390
the, princess,

96
00:04:19.712 --> 00:04:22.674
Perry, Penny, who also, did

97
00:04:23.134 --> 00:04:24.470
girlfriends, and,

98
00:04:25.924 --> 00:04:28.320
also the,

99
00:04:32.354 --> 00:04:34.494
And sure, I'm tired. Sorry, I'm tired a little bit.

100
00:04:37.124 --> 00:04:39.926
but, he was a showrunner of a couple shows, girlfriends one,

101
00:04:39.990 --> 00:04:42.842
and then, another one just dropped. Just finished on

102
00:04:42.874 --> 00:04:45.842
HBO. But, it's insecure.

103
00:04:45.962 --> 00:04:48.962
And, Yeah, so it was on

104
00:04:49.002 --> 00:04:51.970
there, and I was watching it. And that's part of reason

105
00:04:51.986 --> 00:04:54.954
why I'm tired this evening is because I got. I got sucked into the

106
00:04:54.978 --> 00:04:57.720
vortex of, like, watching. It's a three part series, and of

107
00:04:57.736 --> 00:05:00.176
course, you know, so many things like dim

108
00:05:00.224 --> 00:05:01.572
thrones and,

109
00:05:02.972 --> 00:05:05.676
you know, just sort of went through the evolution of

110
00:05:05.764 --> 00:05:07.868
how black culture.

111
00:05:08.020 --> 00:05:11.004
Culture and just american culture

112
00:05:11.028 --> 00:05:13.672
in general and how Twitter grew

113
00:05:14.412 --> 00:05:16.684
with a lot of things that

114
00:05:16.788 --> 00:05:19.644
originated in black Twitter. And so, of course, black Twitter

115
00:05:19.708 --> 00:05:22.382
covers a lot of range of things from the, you know, funny

116
00:05:22.422 --> 00:05:25.062
memes to like, you know, the crying Jordan, which I

117
00:05:25.102 --> 00:05:27.842
used quite a bit back in the day to,

118
00:05:28.682 --> 00:05:31.338
you know, of course, the hashtags, you know, like the

119
00:05:31.370 --> 00:05:34.290
various, you know, black, black girl magic and

120
00:05:34.346 --> 00:05:37.138
oscars, so white and, and so,

121
00:05:37.210 --> 00:05:40.034
so the first part was that the second part really gets us some of the

122
00:05:40.058 --> 00:05:43.010
more political things as far as, you know, Black lives

123
00:05:43.066 --> 00:05:45.946
Matter and the George Floyd, issue from

124
00:05:45.994 --> 00:05:48.938
2020 and other things like that. So

125
00:05:48.970 --> 00:05:51.922
it was just a really, really cool documentary. And like I said, I got,

126
00:05:51.962 --> 00:05:54.944
I got sucked in because it was just, ah, you know, it's

127
00:05:54.968 --> 00:05:57.888
very, it's on Hulu now. Go check it out.

128
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:00.944
You'll, you'll definitely enjoy it, especially when you see

129
00:06:01.008 --> 00:06:03.848
we, when you watch it, it's sort of like, it's a truly

130
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:06.568
a cool time capsule of, like, when Twitter was

131
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:09.544
fun, right, versus the dumpster

132
00:06:09.568 --> 00:06:12.272
fire that it is now. but, but also,

133
00:06:12.400 --> 00:06:15.240
but the documentary was also inspired by an

134
00:06:15.264 --> 00:06:17.924
article written by, Jason Parham, who is m,

135
00:06:18.166 --> 00:06:21.040
who wrote a story for wired a few years ago

136
00:06:21.144 --> 00:06:23.916
about Black Twitter. And, so it's

137
00:06:23.940 --> 00:06:26.924
just taking that. And a lot of the people who originated

138
00:06:26.964 --> 00:06:29.890
some of the hashtags and various memes and things that,

139
00:06:31.554 --> 00:06:34.544
people use all the time, were interviewed, in this

140
00:06:34.576 --> 00:06:37.152
documentary as well. So it's pretty cool. Go check it out.

141
00:06:37.320 --> 00:06:39.688
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah. Sounds pretty

142
00:06:39.728 --> 00:06:42.684
cool. especially if it can get you sucked

143
00:06:42.724 --> 00:06:45.424
in. Yeah,

144
00:06:46.284 --> 00:06:48.924
I'm missing out on those kind of things these days.

145
00:06:49.004 --> 00:06:51.940
But to, go from black Twitter to

146
00:06:52.004 --> 00:06:53.008
white boy.

147
00:06:56.468 --> 00:06:57.488
Oh, man.

148
00:06:58.028 --> 00:07:00.692
my first question though, before I deep dive into

149
00:07:00.740 --> 00:07:03.556
this, project or this piece of news,

150
00:07:03.644 --> 00:07:06.332
is that the

151
00:07:06.372 --> 00:07:09.204
live action masters of the universe movie, is this

152
00:07:09.228 --> 00:07:12.092
the same movie that a few years ago it was going out

153
00:07:12.132 --> 00:07:15.006
that Noah Centineo was, was cast as

154
00:07:15.054 --> 00:07:15.598
lead?

155
00:07:15.750 --> 00:07:17.158
>> Will: Yep, same one.

156
00:07:17.310 --> 00:07:19.782
>> Sarah : So it's the same. So it's not, he's not

157
00:07:19.822 --> 00:07:22.412
replacing, Nicholas Galat.

158
00:07:22.532 --> 00:07:24.724
Galateens. Galazine.

159
00:07:24.868 --> 00:07:27.836
Galazine. I always have to remember how to pronounce it

160
00:07:27.884 --> 00:07:30.690
because Ann Hathaway Press, during press

161
00:07:30.746 --> 00:07:33.434
with the idea of, you came up with a

162
00:07:33.458 --> 00:07:36.210
jingle that she talked about and she rhymed

163
00:07:36.266 --> 00:07:39.156
his last name with magazine. Ah,

164
00:07:39.354 --> 00:07:41.960
yeah. And she, she

165
00:07:42.096 --> 00:07:45.040
also included the anecdote that she, she

166
00:07:45.096 --> 00:07:47.760
sang it to him one day and he's like, I never thought about

167
00:07:47.816 --> 00:07:50.760
that because he's always

168
00:07:50.816 --> 00:07:53.720
had to correct people. So, so, yeah, you

169
00:07:53.736 --> 00:07:56.688
just think about how it rhymes with

170
00:07:56.760 --> 00:07:59.632
magazine. So, gal. Galazine. Gaussian. but

171
00:07:59.648 --> 00:08:02.560
I remember that this on a t, but I don't

172
00:08:02.592 --> 00:08:05.021
know, I don't know, because he. He

173
00:08:05.117 --> 00:08:07.957
is like, if you had told me

174
00:08:08.085 --> 00:08:10.669
Noah dropped out and they replaced him with

175
00:08:10.701 --> 00:08:13.365
Nicholas, I would be like, that makes perfect sense

176
00:08:13.429 --> 00:08:15.805
because at this rate, the number of

177
00:08:15.949 --> 00:08:18.949
movies, like, straight to streaming movies too, that

178
00:08:18.981 --> 00:08:21.789
this man has been in over the

179
00:08:21.821 --> 00:08:24.541
last year or two. And I guess

180
00:08:24.637 --> 00:08:27.491
not all straight to see, streaming because he was in the movie

181
00:08:27.547 --> 00:08:29.915
bottoms as well, that came out last year in

182
00:08:29.939 --> 00:08:30.703
theaters.

183
00:08:32.714 --> 00:08:35.698
he just is all over the place and he's getting that

184
00:08:35.746 --> 00:08:38.570
burst that Noah got a few

185
00:08:38.642 --> 00:08:41.386
years back when everyone was diehard

186
00:08:41.450 --> 00:08:43.934
over the. All the boys. I loved,

187
00:08:44.210 --> 00:08:46.844
series on Netflix, and then he suddenly

188
00:08:46.884 --> 00:08:49.424
became Netflix's it boy.

189
00:08:50.484 --> 00:08:53.364
And then all of a sudden, those projects were

190
00:08:53.404 --> 00:08:55.944
not to all the boys I love.

191
00:08:57.484 --> 00:09:00.188
And Netflix was like, oh, we see how it

192
00:09:00.236 --> 00:09:02.892
works. But. But Nicholas, he

193
00:09:02.948 --> 00:09:05.708
also. I don't know if he's gonna have that

194
00:09:05.876 --> 00:09:08.292
same path because he's not

195
00:09:08.348 --> 00:09:11.276
doing, like, his roles

196
00:09:11.300 --> 00:09:13.732
are very different all over the

197
00:09:13.748 --> 00:09:16.464
place. Cause he's also on.

198
00:09:17.484 --> 00:09:20.428
He's also on. I wanna say it's a star series

199
00:09:20.516 --> 00:09:23.284
right now with, Julianne Moore.

200
00:09:24.050 --> 00:09:26.316
>> Sarah : and it's. And it's, victorian,

201
00:09:26.896 --> 00:09:29.184
I think, like Henry. And it's very

202
00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:29.952
gay.

203
00:09:30.144 --> 00:09:30.592
>> Will: Okay.

204
00:09:30.624 --> 00:09:33.608
>> Sarah : I just know that. I just know that's very. And. And

205
00:09:33.672 --> 00:09:36.672
there's this whole relationship, but, but, yeah, so.

206
00:09:36.744 --> 00:09:39.200
So the bit of news that I, like,

207
00:09:39.248 --> 00:09:42.240
divulge, all of Nicholas is like his

208
00:09:42.288 --> 00:09:45.088
IMDb. I am not on that page

209
00:09:45.152 --> 00:09:48.088
all the time. I just. He just came out

210
00:09:48.112 --> 00:09:50.936
of nowhere for me. And suddenly there's all

211
00:09:50.976 --> 00:09:53.956
this stuff. but he, has recently

212
00:09:54.044 --> 00:09:56.452
been cast, I guess, to join Noah

213
00:09:56.612 --> 00:09:59.604
in the live action movie masters of

214
00:09:59.628 --> 00:10:00.444
the universe.

215
00:10:00.548 --> 00:10:03.260
>> Will: Yes. Yeah. So. And this live

216
00:10:03.316 --> 00:10:05.988
action film. So the Netflix version

217
00:10:06.140 --> 00:10:08.992
died away. So Noah is no longer

218
00:10:09.612 --> 00:10:12.268
happening. So Nicholas will

219
00:10:12.300 --> 00:10:15.226
be. Is, going to be he man slash prince

220
00:10:15.274 --> 00:10:16.786
item in this?

221
00:10:16.954 --> 00:10:19.518
>> Sarah : Just told me that Noah was part of

222
00:10:19.550 --> 00:10:20.054
this.

223
00:10:20.198 --> 00:10:23.038
>> Will: No, no, you just asked if that was the same one. And I was

224
00:10:23.070 --> 00:10:25.942
like, it was the same. It was

225
00:10:26.062 --> 00:10:28.918
a live action version that was going to be produced

226
00:10:28.950 --> 00:10:31.862
by Netflix, but this one is going to be produced

227
00:10:31.902 --> 00:10:34.642
by Amazon, and it's going to be,

228
00:10:36.822 --> 00:10:39.110
released theatrically in 20. They're aiming for

229
00:10:39.126 --> 00:10:40.022
2026.

230
00:10:40.142 --> 00:10:43.134
>> Sarah : Okay, so listeners, like, after

231
00:10:43.238 --> 00:10:45.482
you're done listening to this episode,

232
00:10:46.272 --> 00:10:49.072
just tweet at ah will or

233
00:10:49.112 --> 00:10:51.212
me, who,

234
00:10:52.072 --> 00:10:54.880
like, are you on my side of this debate or are

235
00:10:54.896 --> 00:10:57.648
you his? Because I. I

236
00:10:57.680 --> 00:11:00.584
don't think I asked the question wrong, but I don't

237
00:11:00.608 --> 00:11:02.384
know if I was given the right answer.

238
00:11:02.568 --> 00:11:05.292
>> Will: No, no. I just assumed that you thought

239
00:11:05.832 --> 00:11:08.520
maybe I should have clarified at that point that it was the

240
00:11:08.536 --> 00:11:10.536
Netflix one, but I didn't want to interrupt you.

241
00:11:10.704 --> 00:11:13.224
>> Sarah : Yeah, but. Okay, so. But the

242
00:11:13.248 --> 00:11:16.216
net. Okay, so are there

243
00:11:16.304 --> 00:11:18.310
are, there two movies or one movie?

244
00:11:18.406 --> 00:11:20.918
>> Will: It's just the one movie. The Netflix project is

245
00:11:20.950 --> 00:11:21.470
gone.

246
00:11:21.606 --> 00:11:24.550
>> Sarah : So. So there was a movie there.

247
00:11:24.606 --> 00:11:27.510
There they were doing a live action with Netflix and

248
00:11:27.526 --> 00:11:30.358
with Noah that is now died, and

249
00:11:30.390 --> 00:11:33.110
now MGM, which go

250
00:11:33.166 --> 00:11:35.562
figure, because Nicholas is now,

251
00:11:35.728 --> 00:11:37.428
Amazon's it boy.

252
00:11:38.168 --> 00:11:40.994
He. He is, He is doing

253
00:11:41.146 --> 00:11:43.962
been cast as he man for the masters of the universe.

254
00:11:44.010 --> 00:11:45.538
Okay, well.

255
00:11:50.238 --> 00:11:53.166
>> Will: And the reason why I thought I. The only reason why I put this on here

256
00:11:53.182 --> 00:11:55.418
is because you mentioned the idea of you,

257
00:11:55.384 --> 00:11:58.288
>> Sarah : Oh, I know you put it on here. I'm not. I'm not

258
00:11:58.336 --> 00:12:00.864
questioning it being on here. I'm

259
00:12:00.904 --> 00:12:03.760
just. I'm like, I love how you let

260
00:12:03.792 --> 00:12:06.444
me go on, like, this four minute tirade

261
00:12:06.864 --> 00:12:09.072
and. And it turned out I completely

262
00:12:09.128 --> 00:12:11.880
misunderstood what was happening and

263
00:12:11.912 --> 00:12:13.768
then. And I was enjoying it.

264
00:12:13.896 --> 00:12:14.936
>> Will: I was enjoying it.

265
00:12:15.040 --> 00:12:17.928
>> Sarah : Well, I know, because this is what you want.

266
00:12:17.976 --> 00:12:20.912
You want me to, like, read these things and it's clearly, I

267
00:12:20.928 --> 00:12:22.844
don't know anything these days.

268
00:12:24.304 --> 00:12:26.084
But, man,

269
00:12:26.924 --> 00:12:29.116
Oh, so I did.

270
00:12:29.220 --> 00:12:32.002
I did finish one thing this week, which

271
00:12:32.098 --> 00:12:34.938
shouldn't be a shocker to anybody, but it was vanderpump

272
00:12:34.986 --> 00:12:37.924
rules. Season eleven. Oh. Aired

273
00:12:38.044 --> 00:12:40.820
its, ah, third part of the

274
00:12:40.852 --> 00:12:42.984
reunion last night.

275
00:12:43.340 --> 00:12:43.914
and

276
00:12:47.334 --> 00:12:50.040
it's just so funny to me how,

277
00:12:51.314 --> 00:12:54.174
public opinion changes so quickly.

278
00:12:55.994 --> 00:12:58.946
and it's just interesting. The favorites

279
00:12:58.970 --> 00:13:01.770
of last year are not necessarily the favorites of

280
00:13:01.802 --> 00:13:04.764
this year. But. No, I'm not. I'm not also

281
00:13:04.844 --> 00:13:07.700
not suggesting that Tom Sandoval

282
00:13:07.772 --> 00:13:10.100
is. Is the favorite. No, no, no.

283
00:13:10.212 --> 00:13:12.424
>> Will: Okay. Yeah. So did he rehabilitate himself?

284
00:13:13.084 --> 00:13:14.588
>> Sarah : Okay, they tried.

285
00:13:14.756 --> 00:13:15.452
>> Will: Okay.

286
00:13:15.588 --> 00:13:18.268
>> Sarah : But the big thing was Ariana is

287
00:13:18.316 --> 00:13:21.020
smart and she knew what. What

288
00:13:21.132 --> 00:13:23.930
was going on. and so she

289
00:13:23.970 --> 00:13:26.754
didn't play ball. But what she

290
00:13:26.802 --> 00:13:29.328
did not calculate was

291
00:13:29.384 --> 00:13:32.328
that her friends from last year,

292
00:13:32.384 --> 00:13:35.226
her like. Or the people who, were supporting her

293
00:13:35.258 --> 00:13:37.950
during the breakup and everything, all of the girls

294
00:13:38.450 --> 00:13:41.386
will suddenly would look at her with

295
00:13:41.458 --> 00:13:44.218
jealousy and annoyance

296
00:13:44.274 --> 00:13:46.834
and just be like, no, no, no, we do

297
00:13:46.882 --> 00:13:49.150
this. We talk to our exes,

298
00:13:49.690 --> 00:13:52.338
we put our air, our dirty laundry. You have

299
00:13:52.354 --> 00:13:54.470
to. But.

300
00:13:55.180 --> 00:13:58.148
And maybe it's just because social media,

301
00:13:58.324 --> 00:14:00.580
like it is an Al. It is

302
00:14:00.660 --> 00:14:03.556
algorithm driven. So I'm

303
00:14:03.588 --> 00:14:06.508
already a fan on Team Ariana, so

304
00:14:06.564 --> 00:14:09.444
my algorithm will only send me stuff

305
00:14:09.492 --> 00:14:11.520
like that is in support of her.

306
00:14:11.900 --> 00:14:14.708
But I have yet to see anything

307
00:14:14.764 --> 00:14:16.680
where people disagree.

308
00:14:18.500 --> 00:14:21.420
I mean, they disagree to some things. Like,

309
00:14:21.460 --> 00:14:24.164
she should have watched the season, but I also

310
00:14:24.212 --> 00:14:27.076
understand why she didn't. So, like, it is

311
00:14:27.108 --> 00:14:27.868
what it is.

312
00:14:28.004 --> 00:14:28.460
>> Will: Yeah.

313
00:14:28.540 --> 00:14:30.800
>> Sarah : So. But. But I'm also.

314
00:14:31.140 --> 00:14:33.836
But majority of the people are, like, with

315
00:14:33.868 --> 00:14:36.660
how all of her. Her actions

316
00:14:36.700 --> 00:14:39.612
over the course of the season, from what I can

317
00:14:39.636 --> 00:14:42.548
tell, majority of the audience are on her side

318
00:14:42.724 --> 00:14:45.532
and which. Which is just interesting

319
00:14:45.636 --> 00:14:48.400
how that

320
00:14:48.560 --> 00:14:50.966
alienates her from majority,

321
00:14:51.596 --> 00:14:54.220
of her cast. So. So.

322
00:14:54.300 --> 00:14:57.044
But the word on the street now is because

323
00:14:57.092 --> 00:14:59.700
they're not picking up cameras anytime soon, they

324
00:14:59.740 --> 00:15:02.200
typically would starting in June.

325
00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:06.304
that. That. And the way it

326
00:15:06.352 --> 00:15:09.096
ends, it's kind of like, okay, so is this the

327
00:15:09.128 --> 00:15:11.136
last, like, is this really the series

328
00:15:11.208 --> 00:15:12.148
finale?

329
00:15:13.114 --> 00:15:15.986
>> Sarah : and. And. But I don't. I

330
00:15:16.002 --> 00:15:18.906
don't think so. I think. I think they would have

331
00:15:18.962 --> 00:15:21.954
made it much more clearer that it

332
00:15:21.986 --> 00:15:22.538
was.

333
00:15:22.698 --> 00:15:23.314
>> Will: Oh, yeah.

334
00:15:23.386 --> 00:15:25.786
>> Sarah : I think they are just letting. Because.

335
00:15:25.922 --> 00:15:28.346
Because Ariana has some

336
00:15:28.402 --> 00:15:31.378
projects in the works right now because she's doing

337
00:15:31.418 --> 00:15:34.210
Love island, and then she's going back to Broadway

338
00:15:34.314 --> 00:15:36.946
to do another stint on Chicago.

339
00:15:37.082 --> 00:15:37.930
>> Will: Okay.

340
00:15:37.974 --> 00:15:40.742
>> Sarah : because earlier this year she was there, and she

341
00:15:40.790 --> 00:15:42.582
did, like, record breaking

342
00:15:42.710 --> 00:15:45.398
performances for, like, a

343
00:15:45.438 --> 00:15:48.374
long running Broadway play to suddenly be brought

344
00:15:48.406 --> 00:15:50.926
in as lead and then, like,

345
00:15:51.062 --> 00:15:53.098
break records. It's like, whoa.

346
00:15:54.198 --> 00:15:56.942
So I think they're waiting for

347
00:15:56.990 --> 00:15:59.990
that stuff to calm down. And then we're

348
00:16:00.014 --> 00:16:02.982
gonna do, You haven't seen these guys

349
00:16:03.030 --> 00:16:05.958
in a while, but here's what they're up

350
00:16:05.998 --> 00:16:08.902
to. But I don't. And then

351
00:16:08.950 --> 00:16:11.538
kind of get a feel as if, like,

352
00:16:12.798 --> 00:16:15.678
is the audience willing to continue with

353
00:16:15.718 --> 00:16:18.718
this group of quote unquote friends? Or. It's like,

354
00:16:18.758 --> 00:16:21.478
no, it's too obvious these days that these

355
00:16:21.518 --> 00:16:24.302
people, they may know each other, they may pop

356
00:16:24.350 --> 00:16:26.902
into each other's lives, but they are

357
00:16:26.990 --> 00:16:29.894
definitely not the group of friends we were

358
00:16:29.926 --> 00:16:32.654
introduced to, like, back in season

359
00:16:32.726 --> 00:16:33.221
one.

360
00:16:33.349 --> 00:16:34.349
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah.

361
00:16:34.493 --> 00:16:37.229
>> Sarah : And it's not just because of

362
00:16:37.373 --> 00:16:39.617
the. The drama,

363
00:16:40.314 --> 00:16:43.210
and the deceit and all of that. I think it's honestly

364
00:16:43.242 --> 00:16:46.026
because the premise of the show

365
00:16:46.090 --> 00:16:48.266
started as these people all work in a

366
00:16:48.290 --> 00:16:50.962
restaurant. Well, you work together,

367
00:16:51.098 --> 00:16:53.986
of course you're gonna spend so much time together.

368
00:16:54.170 --> 00:16:54.818
>> Will: Yeah.

369
00:16:54.946 --> 00:16:57.506
>> Sarah : They don't all work in the same place anymore,

370
00:16:57.690 --> 00:16:59.434
so you really have to.

371
00:16:59.514 --> 00:17:01.935
You are really having

372
00:17:02.275 --> 00:17:05.057
to suddenly, become real

373
00:17:05.121 --> 00:17:06.005
life friends.

374
00:17:06.505 --> 00:17:07.761
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah.

375
00:17:07.953 --> 00:17:10.777
>> Sarah : So I just. I think. I think it'll

376
00:17:10.801 --> 00:17:13.673
be interesting because Bravo's never

377
00:17:13.729 --> 00:17:16.329
one to, like, kill a revenue

378
00:17:16.377 --> 00:17:19.377
stream. But then again, has been

379
00:17:19.401 --> 00:17:22.125
a lot of, this dislike for how this

380
00:17:22.173 --> 00:17:23.947
season unfolded. And,

381
00:17:24.601 --> 00:17:27.147
just. Just the. The

382
00:17:27.219 --> 00:17:29.351
obvious. The. The.

383
00:17:30.371 --> 00:17:33.243
The obvious tv making that

384
00:17:33.267 --> 00:17:35.939
was occurring that we hadn't seen in previous

385
00:17:36.035 --> 00:17:36.871
seasons.

386
00:17:37.027 --> 00:17:39.883
>> Will: M. Yeah. I will say I did fall off

387
00:17:39.907 --> 00:17:42.827
this season because I started out watching it,

388
00:17:42.859 --> 00:17:45.659
and then I think, to your point, it did

389
00:17:45.755 --> 00:17:48.659
get that script. It did. Even though

390
00:17:48.675 --> 00:17:51.539
it's supposed to be unscripted and everything, it did start to

391
00:17:51.555 --> 00:17:53.901
feel a little, I don't know, still.

392
00:17:54.321 --> 00:17:57.289
And I just. Yeah, I never. I never got back on the

393
00:17:57.305 --> 00:17:57.769
track.

394
00:17:57.905 --> 00:18:00.601
>> Sarah : Oh, yeah. Yeah. It was. It's. Which I

395
00:18:00.641 --> 00:18:03.561
knew. I knew going into it. It's never gonna be what,

396
00:18:03.601 --> 00:18:06.577
season ₩10. Because season ten was

397
00:18:06.649 --> 00:18:09.499
just a, very rare

398
00:18:09.651 --> 00:18:12.187
lightning in the bottle moment for reality

399
00:18:12.235 --> 00:18:12.859
television.

400
00:18:12.971 --> 00:18:13.907
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah.

401
00:18:14.035 --> 00:18:16.463
>> Sarah : Where you're rewatching something,

402
00:18:16.763 --> 00:18:19.663
knowing something that occurs months later,

403
00:18:20.653 --> 00:18:23.013
and then trying to find the

404
00:18:23.053 --> 00:18:25.493
pieces that's like, oh,

405
00:18:25.613 --> 00:18:28.485
well, why wasn't like. It

406
00:18:28.509 --> 00:18:30.313
was. It was a version of clue.

407
00:18:31.773 --> 00:18:34.669
It was. It was like, who did

408
00:18:34.701 --> 00:18:37.437
it? How did this happen? And. And they

409
00:18:37.485 --> 00:18:40.469
had all of the pieces because they had all this

410
00:18:40.501 --> 00:18:43.293
footage. So. So it's

411
00:18:43.333 --> 00:18:44.993
never going to be that again.

412
00:18:46.143 --> 00:18:48.679
but anyways, so

413
00:18:48.871 --> 00:18:51.727
I just wanted to put that out there in case anybody

414
00:18:51.775 --> 00:18:54.519
who was wondering, because, you know, our

415
00:18:54.551 --> 00:18:57.255
previous discussions about the show. What? I'm a long

416
00:18:57.359 --> 00:18:58.999
die hard fan. I've been.

417
00:18:59.151 --> 00:19:01.871
>> Will: Yeah, yeah. I mean, this time last year, yeah, we were. We

418
00:19:01.887 --> 00:19:04.273
were deep and, deep in Vanderpump.

419
00:19:04.813 --> 00:19:07.725
>> Sarah : And I just want to make sure listeners realize, like,

420
00:19:07.829 --> 00:19:10.509
I do not. When will suddenly

421
00:19:10.581 --> 00:19:13.433
watches something that I say I'm watching.

422
00:19:13.903 --> 00:19:16.751
He. He just. I never ask

423
00:19:16.807 --> 00:19:19.599
him, okay. He just wants

424
00:19:19.631 --> 00:19:22.295
to be included. He gets Fomo

425
00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:23.523
so easily.

426
00:19:24.423 --> 00:19:25.963
>> Will: I. I do.

427
00:19:27.943 --> 00:19:30.849
Well, see, yeah. you know, you know, to. Our earlier conversation is even.

428
00:19:30.881 --> 00:19:33.761
It's like you see things kind of trending and, you know, but the

429
00:19:33.777 --> 00:19:36.521
water cooler talk, and it's just like, I feel like I've been

430
00:19:36.537 --> 00:19:37.973
missing the party, so.

431
00:19:38.353 --> 00:19:41.139
>> Sarah : Yeah, but it's so funny to me

432
00:19:41.251 --> 00:19:44.131
because you remind me of my dad, except my dad,

433
00:19:44.267 --> 00:19:46.947
he never. He'll never

434
00:19:46.995 --> 00:19:49.843
actually watch the things. And nine times out of ten,

435
00:19:49.883 --> 00:19:52.673
I'll actually preface when I bring up, something I'm

436
00:19:52.713 --> 00:19:55.489
watching Tim, and say, I know you're never going to watch

437
00:19:55.521 --> 00:19:58.385
this. Actually, I don't want you to watch it, but I have to just explain

438
00:19:58.449 --> 00:20:01.049
to you what is happening,

439
00:20:01.201 --> 00:20:03.813
and then he'll be all interested,

440
00:20:04.453 --> 00:20:07.333
and he may or may not go and watch it again. Nine

441
00:20:07.373 --> 00:20:10.269
times out of ten, he will not watch it. And,

442
00:20:10.813 --> 00:20:13.621
the rare case that he does, he'll come back to me and

443
00:20:13.637 --> 00:20:16.245
say, it was just more interesting when you were

444
00:20:16.269 --> 00:20:19.029
explaining. And I'm like,

445
00:20:19.061 --> 00:20:21.913
well, technically, yes, because I also

446
00:20:22.373 --> 00:20:24.273
like, no show

447
00:20:25.013 --> 00:20:27.753
goes through extended periods of time

448
00:20:28.293 --> 00:20:31.285
at high intensity. It's really

449
00:20:31.349 --> 00:20:34.109
hard to maintain that. So there's peaks and

450
00:20:34.141 --> 00:20:36.883
valleys. So. But when you're

451
00:20:36.923 --> 00:20:39.703
explaining and trying to get somebody to understand,

452
00:20:40.243 --> 00:20:42.723
like, something that was mind blowing, you're gonna

453
00:20:42.763 --> 00:20:45.747
only pick the. The peaks to

454
00:20:45.795 --> 00:20:47.023
tell them about.

455
00:20:47.323 --> 00:20:49.383
>> Will: Exactly. Exactly. Yeah.

456
00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:51.607
yeah.

457
00:20:51.703 --> 00:20:54.391
I know we're gonna talk about X Men here, but it's sort of like our

458
00:20:54.415 --> 00:20:56.939
discussion about it last week with episode five.

459
00:20:58.399 --> 00:21:01.215
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah, that was a

460
00:21:01.247 --> 00:21:04.025
really good discussion. And I think it's very,

461
00:21:04.347 --> 00:21:06.931
relevant as we start to get into

462
00:21:07.075 --> 00:21:09.883
the list, the last three

463
00:21:09.971 --> 00:21:12.199
episodes of X Men 97,

464
00:21:12.985 --> 00:21:15.489
which are the final episodes of this season.

465
00:21:15.915 --> 00:21:18.907
but I

466
00:21:18.931 --> 00:21:21.803
just. You know, it's a curse and blessing

467
00:21:21.939 --> 00:21:23.975
to have an episode

468
00:21:24.635 --> 00:21:27.075
where it just sticks out

469
00:21:27.155 --> 00:21:29.579
and later episodes reference

470
00:21:29.627 --> 00:21:32.457
it. You just. You're like. And I

471
00:21:32.481 --> 00:21:35.335
think I explained this, talked, about

472
00:21:35.375 --> 00:21:38.287
this during our top ten last year when I was talking about

473
00:21:38.391 --> 00:21:41.359
our top five tv shows where I brought up succession.

474
00:21:41.447 --> 00:21:44.235
I'm like, succession is number three on my list.

475
00:21:44.815 --> 00:21:47.543
I'm pretty sure it was number three. It could have been number two, but

476
00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:50.463
I'm. No, I think last of us was number two.

477
00:21:50.599 --> 00:21:53.455
>> Will: Yeah, last of us number two. And the bear was number one.

478
00:21:53.575 --> 00:21:56.255
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah. And. And you were

479
00:21:56.295 --> 00:21:59.117
surprised by it and I. Well, a. You were

480
00:21:59.141 --> 00:22:01.941
surprised because you had no idea what my number one was.

481
00:22:02.053 --> 00:22:04.893
But also I explained,

482
00:22:04.989 --> 00:22:07.981
like, I had to put it at number three because. Was it a good

483
00:22:08.013 --> 00:22:10.853
season? Yes. Was

484
00:22:11.029 --> 00:22:13.645
there. There was one

485
00:22:13.685 --> 00:22:15.905
episode, though, that stuck out

486
00:22:16.445 --> 00:22:19.069
to the point where, yeah, all the other

487
00:22:19.117 --> 00:22:21.909
episodes can be good, but they're not. Like, that

488
00:22:21.957 --> 00:22:24.895
one peaked so high that you

489
00:22:24.935 --> 00:22:27.695
can't say that the overall season was,

490
00:22:27.775 --> 00:22:30.599
like, consistent because it's like, no, you

491
00:22:30.647 --> 00:22:33.439
had. You went from good to, oh,

492
00:22:33.487 --> 00:22:36.487
my God, that. That should be shown

493
00:22:36.591 --> 00:22:38.595
in. In film school

494
00:22:39.335 --> 00:22:41.491
to. To good. Which,

495
00:22:42.311 --> 00:22:45.279
It's not like there was a bad episode, which a

496
00:22:45.287 --> 00:22:47.715
lot of seasons have, where it's like,

497
00:22:48.215 --> 00:22:50.831
what was episode four that I strongly like?

498
00:22:50.863 --> 00:22:53.007
Jubilee birthday episode of X Men.

499
00:22:53.151 --> 00:22:54.235
>> Will: Yeah, yeah.

500
00:22:55.255 --> 00:22:58.253
>> Sarah : I'm like, no, more commonly, you have a

501
00:22:58.269 --> 00:23:01.229
really bad episode that kind of weighs down

502
00:23:01.277 --> 00:23:03.925
your average. And I think for X Men

503
00:23:03.965 --> 00:23:06.861
97, because of

504
00:23:06.893 --> 00:23:09.277
the repercussions, but also because

505
00:23:09.381 --> 00:23:12.317
of just the overall

506
00:23:12.381 --> 00:23:15.213
storytelling that occurred in episode five, it

507
00:23:15.229 --> 00:23:17.825
is such a peak that.

508
00:23:18.365 --> 00:23:21.181
That it's really hard to go

509
00:23:21.213 --> 00:23:23.549
into these last three episodes and not

510
00:23:23.597 --> 00:23:26.411
compare and also not just be

511
00:23:26.443 --> 00:23:29.419
like, I wish this would hit a little bit harder

512
00:23:29.467 --> 00:23:32.027
for me. Like it did in episode five.

513
00:23:32.171 --> 00:23:35.027
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I would

514
00:23:35.051 --> 00:23:37.931
agree with that, I mean, these. And, I'm glad we

515
00:23:38.003 --> 00:23:40.883
structured our watch the way

516
00:23:40.899 --> 00:23:43.779
that we did to have these to go ahead since it was

517
00:23:43.827 --> 00:23:45.655
designed to be a three part finale.

518
00:23:46.605 --> 00:23:49.245
and, and I'm glad we stuck to

519
00:23:49.285 --> 00:23:52.175
that, as far as watching them in a bunch.

520
00:23:52.461 --> 00:23:55.403
but you're right. I mean, I think episode ten, just to

521
00:23:55.419 --> 00:23:58.011
jump to, just to further your

522
00:23:58.043 --> 00:23:59.735
point, did.

523
00:24:00.515 --> 00:24:03.347
Yeah, I mean, it was solid. I mean, this was

524
00:24:03.371 --> 00:24:05.923
a solid season overall. I mean,

525
00:24:06.059 --> 00:24:08.789
but, I can't, you know,

526
00:24:08.877 --> 00:24:11.869
we've watched lots of shows and over the

527
00:24:11.917 --> 00:24:14.605
years, and I will say I

528
00:24:14.725 --> 00:24:17.365
leave season one of X Men 97 feeling

529
00:24:17.445 --> 00:24:20.003
very satisfied. it, it

530
00:24:20.195 --> 00:24:21.967
met expectations

531
00:24:23.067 --> 00:24:25.915
and in some ways it exceeded expectations because I

532
00:24:25.931 --> 00:24:28.923
was watching it from, you know,

533
00:24:28.955 --> 00:24:31.459
whenever we first started talking about the show, you know, I

534
00:24:31.483 --> 00:24:34.405
definitely had the bits of nostalgia, and

535
00:24:34.469 --> 00:24:37.273
thinking about this show, but it took the

536
00:24:38.173 --> 00:24:41.109
nostalgia and then added to it,

537
00:24:41.221 --> 00:24:43.973
you know, being something with something fresh and

538
00:24:44.013 --> 00:24:46.785
different. And, and I, and I think

539
00:24:46.969 --> 00:24:49.537
these last three episodes really

540
00:24:49.625 --> 00:24:52.601
captured not only the fallout of,

541
00:24:52.579 --> 00:24:55.043
what happened in episode five with Genosha,

542
00:24:55.543 --> 00:24:58.455
but, it did do

543
00:24:58.479 --> 00:25:01.127
the job of hitting the landing, but

544
00:25:01.175 --> 00:25:03.871
also doing a good springboard to things for season

545
00:25:03.927 --> 00:25:04.523
two.

546
00:25:06.343 --> 00:25:08.927
>> Sarah : Right, right. And it all goes back to

547
00:25:08.975 --> 00:25:11.757
episode eight. It just starts off

548
00:25:11.845 --> 00:25:14.325
tolerances, extinction part one,

549
00:25:14.429 --> 00:25:17.253
which the next three episodes, you get part one, part

550
00:25:17.293 --> 00:25:19.917
two, part three. And I agree, like, the

551
00:25:20.045 --> 00:25:22.717
overall, how we ended up viewing this

552
00:25:22.765 --> 00:25:25.509
entire season, I think was only to our

553
00:25:25.541 --> 00:25:28.509
benefit as much as we were talking last week

554
00:25:28.541 --> 00:25:31.261
about how those four episodes, it was a roller

555
00:25:31.317 --> 00:25:34.069
coaster. It

556
00:25:34.221 --> 00:25:36.819
helped us get to though the,

557
00:25:37.413 --> 00:25:40.273
the smooth ending, so to speak.

558
00:25:41.593 --> 00:25:44.585
I'm just trying to figure out what happens in the

559
00:25:44.609 --> 00:25:45.573
first part.

560
00:25:46.193 --> 00:25:49.177
>> Will: Yeah, yeah. I mean, basically we, you know, one of

561
00:25:49.185 --> 00:25:52.121
the things that whenever we were, we were what? We

562
00:25:52.137 --> 00:25:54.173
got a question answered. Who was Bastion?

563
00:25:54.833 --> 00:25:57.707
Yeah, because I wasn't familiar with it, but

564
00:25:57.755 --> 00:26:00.283
I will say, you know, so we do get

565
00:26:00.323 --> 00:26:02.473
the, we get the

566
00:26:03.383 --> 00:26:06.303
grand plan. We get as far as who the true

567
00:26:06.343 --> 00:26:08.743
big bad is. It wasn't Mister sinister,

568
00:26:08.823 --> 00:26:11.723
but it was Batman. Bastian

569
00:26:12.063 --> 00:26:14.243
Sebastian, is real name.

570
00:26:14.583 --> 00:26:17.551
And we learned that what I

571
00:26:17.567 --> 00:26:20.319
liked about his origin story, it was like,

572
00:26:20.351 --> 00:26:22.443
yes, he's a mutant himself,

573
00:26:24.983 --> 00:26:26.403
but he also,

574
00:26:28.563 --> 00:26:31.091
also is, you know, create some prime

575
00:26:31.147 --> 00:26:33.595
sentinels who, and affect them with

576
00:26:33.779 --> 00:26:36.303
the, you know, the virus that sentinel,

577
00:26:36.723 --> 00:26:39.459
Mister Sentinel came up with. Mister sinister came up

578
00:26:39.491 --> 00:26:42.379
with, and, you know, to create these ultimate,

579
00:26:42.491 --> 00:26:45.211
these ultimate weapons that the X Men can't, you

580
00:26:45.227 --> 00:26:47.663
know, can't defeat because,

581
00:26:48.803 --> 00:26:51.683
you know, they're, they're you know, they're not the mental

582
00:26:51.723 --> 00:26:54.675
mute mental sentinels that we're so used to seeing, but

583
00:26:54.699 --> 00:26:57.401
these are, you know, people who, some who

584
00:26:57.417 --> 00:26:59.945
volunteered and some who were unwittingly,

585
00:26:59.939 --> 00:27:02.809
created, you know, in his hometown. and his own

586
00:27:02.841 --> 00:27:03.413
mother.

587
00:27:05.633 --> 00:27:08.633
>> Sarah : Basically created human sentinels.

588
00:27:08.753 --> 00:27:09.337
>> Will: Yeah.

589
00:27:09.465 --> 00:27:12.273
>> Sarah : Because he infected the same virus that gets

590
00:27:12.313 --> 00:27:15.033
infected. That Nathan gets infected with.

591
00:27:15.153 --> 00:27:17.825
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And

592
00:27:17.929 --> 00:27:20.505
he. And you're right. Like, it was

593
00:27:20.569 --> 00:27:23.201
interesting, the further it went on, to

594
00:27:23.257 --> 00:27:25.947
realize that he was mutant, too,

595
00:27:25.995 --> 00:27:28.373
because he can, basically control

596
00:27:29.113 --> 00:27:31.773
electronics, computers,

597
00:27:32.329 --> 00:27:34.841
but he's not Magneto. But it's kind of

598
00:27:34.985 --> 00:27:37.509
another version of Magneto, if you think about it,

599
00:27:38.609 --> 00:27:39.349
which

600
00:27:41.609 --> 00:27:44.505
I keep thinking about that tweet you sent me earlier

601
00:27:44.577 --> 00:27:47.457
this week about someone pointing out the

602
00:27:47.513 --> 00:27:50.435
ten or the five, like,

603
00:27:50.435 --> 00:27:52.455
m almost always storylines.

604
00:27:53.261 --> 00:27:55.633
of. And it's just like,

605
00:27:56.013 --> 00:27:58.997
yeah. And, and I think maybe

606
00:27:59.045 --> 00:28:01.797
that's where. I don't know

607
00:28:01.845 --> 00:28:04.693
why, but, and I've listened

608
00:28:04.733 --> 00:28:07.709
to people talk about this show, like, do full reviews

609
00:28:07.741 --> 00:28:09.917
now that I've seen the final three

610
00:28:09.965 --> 00:28:12.797
episodes. And a lot of people are on your

611
00:28:12.845 --> 00:28:15.597
side, will, and. Which I'm not

612
00:28:15.645 --> 00:28:18.555
surprised by because, I don't know, I still have

613
00:28:18.579 --> 00:28:21.507
yet to articulate or pinpoint exactly

614
00:28:21.595 --> 00:28:24.475
why. As much as I

615
00:28:24.499 --> 00:28:27.337
like the nostalgia, and can

616
00:28:27.385 --> 00:28:30.193
appreciate things and aspects about this

617
00:28:30.233 --> 00:28:33.009
show, I still have to be honest. And it.

618
00:28:33.161 --> 00:28:35.665
And nothing hit me the same

619
00:28:35.729 --> 00:28:38.577
way where. Where

620
00:28:38.625 --> 00:28:41.505
I'm finding, like, I have to have people talk about it

621
00:28:41.529 --> 00:28:44.321
and be like, oh, I never thought about it that way.

622
00:28:44.377 --> 00:28:47.373
Or, I don't know, it just. It just

623
00:28:47.453 --> 00:28:50.205
didn't. I guess, in a

624
00:28:50.229 --> 00:28:53.189
weird way, I'm kind of reluctant to say this,

625
00:28:53.221 --> 00:28:56.093
but in a weird way, I'm just like, for whatever reason, I did

626
00:28:56.133 --> 00:28:58.993
not find that watching this show to be fun.

627
00:29:00.013 --> 00:29:01.193
No. Why?

628
00:29:02.533 --> 00:29:04.557
>> Will: Yeah, go ahead. Go ahead.

629
00:29:04.605 --> 00:29:07.383
>> Sarah : I, don't know. I think a part of it is just because

630
00:29:07.471 --> 00:29:10.335
even though this is the original

631
00:29:10.407 --> 00:29:12.539
series aired in 97,

632
00:29:13.219 --> 00:29:15.763
there has been so much x Men content

633
00:29:15.891 --> 00:29:18.279
since then. That's been live action.

634
00:29:18.859 --> 00:29:21.835
And, and for the most part, I mean,

635
00:29:21.947 --> 00:29:24.839
up until, like, the Phoenix saga,

636
00:29:26.139 --> 00:29:29.083
I definitely stopped after that. I

637
00:29:29.091 --> 00:29:31.995
was like, no, there's no way I'm doing that. I know that's just going to

638
00:29:32.011 --> 00:29:34.987
be bad, but. So, so maybe it's just

639
00:29:35.027 --> 00:29:37.739
a little bit of burnt out on these

640
00:29:37.803 --> 00:29:39.999
characters and also just the

641
00:29:40.183 --> 00:29:41.623
storylines.

642
00:29:41.815 --> 00:29:44.583
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, well, yeah, I mean,

643
00:29:44.775 --> 00:29:47.547
that's a very fair point. And two, I mean,

644
00:29:48.087 --> 00:29:51.055
the X Men, it is an allegory.

645
00:29:51.111 --> 00:29:53.799
I mean, with some of the things that they're dealing with, you know,

646
00:29:53.823 --> 00:29:56.543
within the prejudice. Because, I mean, for example, in

647
00:29:56.615 --> 00:29:58.787
episode eight, I mean, we're seeing it. You know, we see,

648
00:29:59.383 --> 00:30:01.083
when Magneto is,

649
00:30:02.143 --> 00:30:04.437
captured there and, you know, they.

650
00:30:04.615 --> 00:30:07.433
They. It is. They do like, show

651
00:30:07.473 --> 00:30:10.377
us his n*** tattoo from when he was in

652
00:30:10.385 --> 00:30:12.693
the concentration camp. So to get to his background

653
00:30:13.673 --> 00:30:16.505
and the whole genocide thing, I mean,

654
00:30:16.529 --> 00:30:19.209
it's, you know, this is not. This is not your kid's X

655
00:30:19.241 --> 00:30:21.001
Men as far as you know.

656
00:30:21.057 --> 00:30:23.977
>> Sarah : Well, no, but there was so much of that in

657
00:30:24.025 --> 00:30:25.521
X Men first class.

658
00:30:25.697 --> 00:30:26.673
>> Will: True that.

659
00:30:26.713 --> 00:30:29.503
>> Sarah : When I, When I was watching those scenes, my

660
00:30:29.543 --> 00:30:31.183
mind went back to that movie.

661
00:30:31.303 --> 00:30:32.711
>> Will: Yeah, and maybe that's your.

662
00:30:32.767 --> 00:30:35.631
That's a good point that you raised there earlier about being

663
00:30:35.687 --> 00:30:38.313
burnt out, man. I think. But

664
00:30:38.613 --> 00:30:41.573
because I was too. I mean, I haven't. I mean, I did get

665
00:30:41.613 --> 00:30:44.309
burnout with X men myself

666
00:30:44.421 --> 00:30:45.993
and sort. And,

667
00:30:47.143 --> 00:30:49.839
you know, so even though whenever we saw that

668
00:30:49.871 --> 00:30:51.563
this series was coming,

669
00:30:52.693 --> 00:30:55.679
you know, I was excited for it. But at the same time,

670
00:30:55.751 --> 00:30:58.695
you know, I think we both collectively decided to, like, let's just stick

671
00:30:58.719 --> 00:31:01.719
the plan. We don't need to, like, shift. Course, we'll get to it after we get

672
00:31:01.751 --> 00:31:04.695
through, you know, the things that we were watching earlier this year.

673
00:31:04.839 --> 00:31:07.589
So, not because

674
00:31:07.661 --> 00:31:10.397
we didn't want, you know, for. For, you know, like. Yeah. And.

675
00:31:10.445 --> 00:31:12.653
And so. But I think this

676
00:31:12.693 --> 00:31:15.645
episode, you know, I did like. I did

677
00:31:15.669 --> 00:31:18.637
like the way episode eight sort of, just sort of started to pull some of

678
00:31:18.645 --> 00:31:21.619
the threads together, you know, especially how I,

679
00:31:21.571 --> 00:31:24.273
can't remember her name, but the. The,

680
00:31:26.057 --> 00:31:29.043
woman, who, was supposedly the ally. But then, of

681
00:31:29.067 --> 00:31:31.595
course, she was like the, you know, the

682
00:31:31.723 --> 00:31:33.751
unwitting collaborator to.

683
00:31:34.411 --> 00:31:36.987
>> Sarah : There was her. And then there was the news

684
00:31:37.059 --> 00:31:40.043
person who was flirting with Beast, who turned

685
00:31:40.067 --> 00:31:42.651
out to be one of them. So, I mean,

686
00:31:42.811 --> 00:31:45.747
I know who you're talking about, and I'm sure our listeners who

687
00:31:45.779 --> 00:31:48.299
watch the show do, too. about the

688
00:31:48.363 --> 00:31:51.215
unwilling, Ally, who

689
00:31:51.231 --> 00:31:53.427
we've seen throughout the season, too.

690
00:31:54.867 --> 00:31:57.843
yeah, I like all of that. I did get

691
00:31:57.875 --> 00:32:00.687
a little bit, and it was weird.

692
00:32:00.643 --> 00:32:03.643
and you're going to hate this because it's one of your least

693
00:32:03.683 --> 00:32:06.235
favorite episodes we've ever covered on this show.

694
00:32:06.379 --> 00:32:08.971
But I had a weird flashback to that zombie

695
00:32:09.027 --> 00:32:10.703
episode in the flash

696
00:32:11.773 --> 00:32:13.893
when everyone started turning into

697
00:32:13.973 --> 00:32:15.109
sentinels.

698
00:32:15.301 --> 00:32:16.229
>> Will: Oh, yeah.

699
00:32:16.381 --> 00:32:18.773
>> Sarah : I just had this, like, weird, like, oh, my

700
00:32:18.813 --> 00:32:19.473
God,

701
00:32:23.573 --> 00:32:26.301
my mind went there for some reason and I

702
00:32:26.357 --> 00:32:28.989
barely watched that episode. And you turned it off.

703
00:32:29.141 --> 00:32:30.563
>> Will: I did. I, did.

704
00:32:30.863 --> 00:32:33.279
>> Sarah : Yeah. So.

705
00:32:33.471 --> 00:32:36.159
But it was. It was a

706
00:32:36.191 --> 00:32:39.043
very well structured, like,

707
00:32:40.263 --> 00:32:42.791
real dedicated episode

708
00:32:42.887 --> 00:32:43.523
to,

709
00:32:45.343 --> 00:32:47.683
breaking down the villain

710
00:32:48.023 --> 00:32:50.839
only for him to. I

711
00:32:50.871 --> 00:32:53.551
felt like, because

712
00:32:53.687 --> 00:32:56.063
there's always two villains. Because if

713
00:32:56.103 --> 00:32:59.015
Magneto's there, he'll always be a

714
00:32:59.039 --> 00:32:59.683
villain.

715
00:33:00.023 --> 00:33:01.103
>> Will: Right, right.

716
00:33:01.263 --> 00:33:04.095
>> Sarah : A frenemy, if you will. It's

717
00:33:04.119 --> 00:33:06.624
just. It's just Magneto.

718
00:33:06.808 --> 00:33:09.648
So. So then they were able to

719
00:33:09.680 --> 00:33:12.424
really turn their attention in episode nine

720
00:33:12.568 --> 00:33:15.136
to making sure we.

721
00:33:15.304 --> 00:33:17.960
We realize how much of a threat still

722
00:33:18.016 --> 00:33:20.408
Magneto is and how all of these

723
00:33:20.440 --> 00:33:22.812
events are making him

724
00:33:23.552 --> 00:33:26.488
turn against what he originally

725
00:33:26.560 --> 00:33:29.208
came to the X Men, to

726
00:33:29.240 --> 00:33:30.885
be, essentially.

727
00:33:31.029 --> 00:33:33.869
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And to your

728
00:33:33.901 --> 00:33:35.873
point, I mean, they do set. You know, they do.

729
00:33:37.213 --> 00:33:39.861
Well, it was one of those, like, he was like that. He was a hero. He

730
00:33:39.877 --> 00:33:42.757
was. He's truly. He's a villain, but also,

731
00:33:42.805 --> 00:33:45.805
in some regards, some weird anti hero, too, because it's like

732
00:33:45.829 --> 00:33:48.709
Magneto was right. And, you know, he gets into, again, the whole

733
00:33:48.741 --> 00:33:51.725
philosophical debate between, you know, Charles

734
00:33:51.789 --> 00:33:54.229
and Eric as far as which path to

735
00:33:54.261 --> 00:33:57.029
go and and and

736
00:33:57.181 --> 00:34:00.109
as the way they set this thing up.

737
00:34:00.141 --> 00:34:03.141
Yeah. You know, it's like. And I

738
00:34:03.157 --> 00:34:05.913
have to say, I have to admit, I was kind of like, you know,

739
00:34:06.533 --> 00:34:08.877
Eric wasn't wrong about what he was thinking

740
00:34:08.925 --> 00:34:09.589
here.

741
00:34:09.781 --> 00:34:12.717
>> Sarah : No. No. And and I think that's always

742
00:34:12.805 --> 00:34:15.445
why, despite how it's

743
00:34:15.509 --> 00:34:18.365
overplayed, been overdone. And

744
00:34:18.389 --> 00:34:20.353
we've seen it so many times before,

745
00:34:21.013 --> 00:34:24.013
the core. At the

746
00:34:24.053 --> 00:34:26.621
core of the X Men is

747
00:34:26.717 --> 00:34:29.613
the philosophical differences between

748
00:34:29.693 --> 00:34:31.313
Charles and Magneto.

749
00:34:33.573 --> 00:34:36.551
And you can't deny it. and the more you understand

750
00:34:36.647 --> 00:34:38.803
their friendship, the more you understand

751
00:34:39.503 --> 00:34:42.391
how they become enemies. And then also, at

752
00:34:42.407 --> 00:34:45.343
the end of the day, how they will

753
00:34:45.383 --> 00:34:47.935
always be each other's biggest adversaries.

754
00:34:47.999 --> 00:34:49.583
Because, like,

755
00:34:50.643 --> 00:34:53.139
as much hate and

756
00:34:53.211 --> 00:34:56.091
annoyance there is, there's also also this love.

757
00:34:56.147 --> 00:34:58.203
Because they were friends first.

758
00:34:58.363 --> 00:34:58.839
>> Will: Yeah.

759
00:34:58.839 --> 00:35:01.255
>> Sarah : and I'm sure, like, there's fan fiction.

760
00:35:01.375 --> 00:35:04.087
Okay. They were friends first.

761
00:35:04.151 --> 00:35:07.127
Yeah. I know. I can read between the lines. I

762
00:35:07.191 --> 00:35:07.995
get it.

763
00:35:09.675 --> 00:35:11.651
but so, so.

764
00:35:11.723 --> 00:35:14.685
And I think. I think they did a good. Well

765
00:35:14.875 --> 00:35:17.841
or a good job. Man, I can't talk right now.

766
00:35:17.953 --> 00:35:20.321
They did a good job in,

767
00:35:21.255 --> 00:35:23.935
making the viewers see

768
00:35:23.975 --> 00:35:26.927
that because they purposely didn't

769
00:35:26.991 --> 00:35:29.759
have Professor X in, like, the

770
00:35:29.807 --> 00:35:32.143
first six episodes.

771
00:35:32.239 --> 00:35:33.023
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah.

772
00:35:33.079 --> 00:35:35.951
>> Sarah : So you really got to

773
00:35:36.103 --> 00:35:37.555
see a different side,

774
00:35:39.081 --> 00:35:40.661
to Magneto,

775
00:35:44.271 --> 00:35:46.847
much like the X Men themselves did.

776
00:35:46.999 --> 00:35:47.759
>> Will: Yeah.

777
00:35:47.935 --> 00:35:50.783
>> Sarah : Which. And maybe it would be. Maybe it would have

778
00:35:50.807 --> 00:35:53.719
been a little bit more interesting had it not just been

779
00:35:53.775 --> 00:35:56.257
rogue and starboy.

780
00:35:57.405 --> 00:35:58.561
yeah, yeah.

781
00:36:01.821 --> 00:36:04.811
Side with Magneto, when he

782
00:36:04.851 --> 00:36:07.581
decides that. Well, and

783
00:36:07.741 --> 00:36:10.641
make Nino's defense like, he also,

784
00:36:11.287 --> 00:36:13.471
like, what other choice was there?

785
00:36:13.931 --> 00:36:16.787
Okay? Like, they were. They

786
00:36:16.819 --> 00:36:19.699
were going down. Going down pretty quickly. So he pulled

787
00:36:19.715 --> 00:36:22.551
the plug. Okay? He had to. He had to pull the plug.

788
00:36:23.171 --> 00:36:25.987
And. And so. And so I get it. He could have

789
00:36:26.019 --> 00:36:28.835
turned it back on, but he. A bit

790
00:36:28.883 --> 00:36:29.671
stubborn.

791
00:36:30.131 --> 00:36:31.991
>> Will: Just a little bit. Just a little bit.

792
00:36:32.661 --> 00:36:34.077
>> Sarah : I mean, he was right.

793
00:36:34.229 --> 00:36:36.933
>> Will: Yeah. He was right. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, yes.

794
00:36:37.037 --> 00:36:39.989
Yeah. Been more telling y'all for years.

795
00:36:40.045 --> 00:36:42.749
And then finally he was like, y'all f***** around.

796
00:36:42.845 --> 00:36:43.921
You found out.

797
00:36:45.181 --> 00:36:47.633
>> Sarah : Right? Right. and. And

798
00:36:47.673 --> 00:36:50.585
it's. And I mean,

799
00:36:50.609 --> 00:36:53.529
you have Magneto, who. Who

800
00:36:53.601 --> 00:36:56.273
basically wants to

801
00:36:56.353 --> 00:36:58.873
uplift the mutants,

802
00:36:59.109 --> 00:37:01.813
despite humans,

803
00:37:02.109 --> 00:37:05.073
and views humans as lesser. But that's

804
00:37:05.113 --> 00:37:07.809
not. And as similar as it may seem,

805
00:37:07.961 --> 00:37:10.921
that's not necessarily the same philosophy that is going

806
00:37:10.977 --> 00:37:13.613
on with Bastia. As he himself.

807
00:37:14.393 --> 00:37:16.893
He's more like, no,

808
00:37:17.553 --> 00:37:19.753
how do I make humans the

809
00:37:19.793 --> 00:37:22.689
superior race? Like, how

810
00:37:22.721 --> 00:37:25.529
do. And in a way, he just built

811
00:37:25.601 --> 00:37:27.173
an army of himself.

812
00:37:28.243 --> 00:37:30.915
So. So in a way, he pulled a

813
00:37:30.939 --> 00:37:31.783
fallout.

814
00:37:34.163 --> 00:37:37.015
Pulled a fallout, if you will. and

815
00:37:37.047 --> 00:37:39.887
just. And just wanted to create more like him.

816
00:37:39.983 --> 00:37:42.375
So it was. It was a

817
00:37:42.407 --> 00:37:45.287
similar ideology. But that

818
00:37:45.343 --> 00:37:47.955
one difference between, how.

819
00:37:48.067 --> 00:37:50.459
How, quote unquote whatever

820
00:37:50.539 --> 00:37:53.175
coexistence means in

821
00:37:53.207 --> 00:37:56.177
these, but he just wanted to make

822
00:37:56.233 --> 00:37:58.889
everyone like him so that.

823
00:37:59.049 --> 00:38:01.793
So that, like, quote unquote humans,

824
00:38:01.841 --> 00:38:04.737
which would really be turned into sentinels, would be

825
00:38:04.793 --> 00:38:07.229
superior than even mutants.

826
00:38:07.865 --> 00:38:10.463
because at this rate, mutants are out.

827
00:38:10.591 --> 00:38:12.339
Gonna start outnumbering,

828
00:38:12.935 --> 00:38:13.829
humans.

829
00:38:14.529 --> 00:38:15.309
>> Will: Yeah.

830
00:38:15.609 --> 00:38:18.379
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah, yeah.

831
00:38:18.615 --> 00:38:21.169
>> Will: yeah. I mean, I think that's a really good summation of, like,

832
00:38:21.329 --> 00:38:23.109
episode nine.

833
00:38:23.125 --> 00:38:26.085
you know, of course, we do get some other things that did

834
00:38:26.125 --> 00:38:29.021
happen in the episode, of course, and sprinkled all

835
00:38:29.053 --> 00:38:31.551
throughout all three of these. We were getting some,

836
00:38:32.745 --> 00:38:35.353
you know, cameos and easter, you know, of

837
00:38:35.449 --> 00:38:38.321
various other, you know, various marvel characters,

838
00:38:38.393 --> 00:38:39.971
which, again, also helped to,

839
00:38:42.465 --> 00:38:45.405
sure, how big this world is.

840
00:38:47.475 --> 00:38:50.341
but also, we do

841
00:38:50.373 --> 00:38:53.285
get two critical things happen, of course, storm

842
00:38:53.325 --> 00:38:55.265
is back. She gets reunited with the team.

843
00:38:57.561 --> 00:39:00.491
and of course, at the end there, we do see

844
00:39:00.831 --> 00:39:01.851
magneto,

845
00:39:03.661 --> 00:39:05.357
rip in the. At the,

846
00:39:05.861 --> 00:39:08.769
wolverines. Ah. At the. At the knee. I

847
00:39:08.785 --> 00:39:11.721
can't. I always get that. I can never pronounce that word.

848
00:39:11.881 --> 00:39:14.783
But, this is skeleton out of him. And,

849
00:39:14.777 --> 00:39:17.703
putting him in a critical condition. So, which was.

850
00:39:17.895 --> 00:39:20.809
Which was, you know, inspired by one of the events

851
00:39:20.833 --> 00:39:23.721
in the comics. And then, of course, also, we just got to just very

852
00:39:23.769 --> 00:39:26.375
cool the OG costumes. that.

853
00:39:26.471 --> 00:39:29.161
That the, I just thought that was a pretty cool touch that they

854
00:39:29.185 --> 00:39:30.789
added in the, in the show.

855
00:39:31.289 --> 00:39:34.057
>> Sarah : Not gonna lie, I hated the OG costumes.

856
00:39:34.153 --> 00:39:34.829
>> Will: Yeah.

857
00:39:36.129 --> 00:39:38.681
>> Sarah : Because I kept, because those, those

858
00:39:38.745 --> 00:39:41.473
costumes are not the costumes that I remember.

859
00:39:41.561 --> 00:39:44.273
So the whole time, I'm m like, what the

860
00:39:44.321 --> 00:39:45.709
heck are they with?

861
00:39:47.329 --> 00:39:50.025
>> Will: I remember some of those from, like, the Chris

862
00:39:50.057 --> 00:39:52.403
Garmont days, whenever, he was,

863
00:39:52.813 --> 00:39:55.405
whenever he was on the, on the, in the comic book. So.

864
00:39:55.549 --> 00:39:57.633
So he's John Byrne. Yeah.

865
00:39:58.493 --> 00:40:01.397
>> Sarah : Rewind a little bit to go back to cameos,

866
00:40:01.445 --> 00:40:04.309
because I just want to point this out, because it was the one that stuck

867
00:40:04.341 --> 00:40:07.085
out the most to me. They even incorporated

868
00:40:07.149 --> 00:40:08.317
cloak and dagger.

869
00:40:08.445 --> 00:40:11.429
>> Will: I saw that. I thought about, as soon as I saw them, I was like,

870
00:40:11.461 --> 00:40:13.393
hey, yeah.

871
00:40:14.093 --> 00:40:16.933
>> Sarah : Tyrone, which man, we

872
00:40:16.973 --> 00:40:19.967
were, we were getting into that series,

873
00:40:20.055 --> 00:40:22.727
and then they, they just canceled it. I

874
00:40:22.735 --> 00:40:25.645
understand ratings were low, but, But,

875
00:40:25.709 --> 00:40:28.593
yeah, like, I saw that and I was like, yeah.

876
00:40:33.729 --> 00:40:36.703
so, yeah, that, that was, I like that.

877
00:40:36.743 --> 00:40:39.287
I like how, yeah, we saw the, the big

878
00:40:39.335 --> 00:40:42.035
guys, guys we all know in Marvel,

879
00:40:42.199 --> 00:40:45.175
but we also saw glimpses, at, some of

880
00:40:45.199 --> 00:40:48.127
the, some of the understories. I mean, there, there was

881
00:40:48.175 --> 00:40:51.135
a lot more daredevil than I thought. But

882
00:40:51.159 --> 00:40:53.959
then again, knowing daredevil is coming

883
00:40:54.031 --> 00:40:56.911
back in March, it kind of makes sense why there was so

884
00:40:56.967 --> 00:40:57.375
much.

885
00:40:57.479 --> 00:40:59.735
>> Will: Yeah, so

886
00:40:59.919 --> 00:41:02.735
Spider saw Spider man from the, you know, from

887
00:41:02.759 --> 00:41:05.487
that animated. From the, that also ran

888
00:41:05.535 --> 00:41:08.189
contemporaneous with the, original X Men animated

889
00:41:08.221 --> 00:41:10.575
series. and they were the same universe.

890
00:41:10.639 --> 00:41:13.239
>> Sarah : So of course they are.

891
00:41:13.391 --> 00:41:16.263
>> Will: Yeah, yeah. Because they had it all crossover back in the day on it with those,

892
00:41:16.303 --> 00:41:19.199
with that, with two, two cartoons. So, yeah,

893
00:41:19.271 --> 00:41:22.095
it was just, it was. Even Doctor Doom showed up. I was like,

894
00:41:22.119 --> 00:41:24.031
oh, yeah, all right.

895
00:41:24.087 --> 00:41:26.887
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah. Feige

896
00:41:26.935 --> 00:41:28.703
had a heyday with that.

897
00:41:28.863 --> 00:41:29.679
>> Will: He did.

898
00:41:29.831 --> 00:41:32.591
>> Sarah : It is cool to see him, his name in the

899
00:41:32.607 --> 00:41:35.247
credits because I'm m just like, okay. Even

900
00:41:35.295 --> 00:41:38.263
though I know this show is not working the way it should

901
00:41:38.303 --> 00:41:41.113
be and the way it is for others, I

902
00:41:41.153 --> 00:41:43.969
still like seeing his name. I'm like,

903
00:41:44.001 --> 00:41:46.733
okay, just have, like, he's still there.

904
00:41:48.793 --> 00:41:51.505
>> Will: He can bring it. He can still bring it. I don't

905
00:41:51.529 --> 00:41:52.093
know.

906
00:41:52.513 --> 00:41:55.425
>> Sarah : Comfort, like, I understand these days, the

907
00:41:55.449 --> 00:41:57.933
MCU does not have the track record

908
00:41:58.273 --> 00:42:01.073
in its heyday. Totally agree with that

909
00:42:01.233 --> 00:42:03.929
and understand that. But at the same time, for

910
00:42:03.961 --> 00:42:06.481
whatever reason, I, there's

911
00:42:06.537 --> 00:42:09.257
still something where I'm just like, there's a bit of

912
00:42:09.305 --> 00:42:11.373
comfort that I see.

913
00:42:11.949 --> 00:42:14.895
where, when I see a bad MCU movie, I'm

914
00:42:14.919 --> 00:42:17.087
just, I also probably tell myself

915
00:42:17.135 --> 00:42:20.087
subsciously, Feige had nothing to do with that he took a

916
00:42:20.095 --> 00:42:23.039
vacation time. They did not see the

917
00:42:23.071 --> 00:42:25.911
script that went to like number two guy who

918
00:42:25.927 --> 00:42:27.023
then got fired.

919
00:42:27.143 --> 00:42:30.023
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I was there in a bob chapera

920
00:42:30.063 --> 00:42:32.523
where every, you know, poor Kevin was like,

921
00:42:34.343 --> 00:42:37.103
too many things going on at once. So he couldn't, he could.

922
00:42:37.143 --> 00:42:40.119
Yeah. He delegated. He delegated to middle

923
00:42:40.151 --> 00:42:41.803
management. They screwed it up.

924
00:42:43.413 --> 00:42:46.381
Can't do everything. But, yeah, but you're right. It was like, it was a comfort

925
00:42:46.397 --> 00:42:48.349
because even I did.

926
00:42:48.541 --> 00:42:51.309
Speaking of the heyday of MCU,

927
00:42:51.421 --> 00:42:54.397
for example, even though it was very predictable in some

928
00:42:54.445 --> 00:42:56.973
regards, that rogue would be one of the ones who would

929
00:42:57.013 --> 00:43:00.005
go side with Magneto because of all

930
00:43:00.069 --> 00:43:02.495
what had transpired. you know, the

931
00:43:02.527 --> 00:43:05.501
whole people choose the sides of stuff. I did, as

932
00:43:05.525 --> 00:43:08.415
I was watching it, I did kind of smile a little bit thinking back

933
00:43:08.447 --> 00:43:09.511
to civil war.

934
00:43:09.695 --> 00:43:10.479
>> Sarah : Oh, yeah.

935
00:43:10.599 --> 00:43:11.299
>> Will: Yeah.

936
00:43:11.639 --> 00:43:14.575
>> Sarah : Because there was even that moment with Captain America

937
00:43:14.727 --> 00:43:17.407
in one of these episodes where I immediately had a

938
00:43:17.423 --> 00:43:19.215
flashback to civil war.

939
00:43:19.327 --> 00:43:19.925
>> Will: Yeah.

940
00:43:19.925 --> 00:43:22.773
>> Sarah : and so again, it's, it's

941
00:43:22.829 --> 00:43:25.705
almost that it's not just that they leaned on,

942
00:43:26.631 --> 00:43:29.485
the original series nostalgia, but

943
00:43:29.525 --> 00:43:32.405
just the MCU as a whole, which has built

944
00:43:32.445 --> 00:43:35.079
up its own nostalgia over the

945
00:43:35.127 --> 00:43:37.295
decades that it's been building this

946
00:43:37.335 --> 00:43:38.135
universe.

947
00:43:38.255 --> 00:43:38.759
>> Will: Yeah.

948
00:43:38.847 --> 00:43:41.757
>> Sarah : And, and the one thing I want to bring up, that

949
00:43:41.781 --> 00:43:44.733
I don't even think I put in my notes. But, man,

950
00:43:44.789 --> 00:43:47.701
if you don't think I'm going to bring this up, then nobody, you didn't

951
00:43:47.733 --> 00:43:50.581
listen last week. But who was right or who was

952
00:43:50.613 --> 00:43:53.613
wrong? I told you they were not going to address

953
00:43:53.669 --> 00:43:55.585
the fact that rogue killed someone.

954
00:43:56.365 --> 00:43:58.299
>> Will: Yeah, you're right. You're right.

955
00:43:58.437 --> 00:44:01.199
>> Sarah : Yeah. Will was telling me, no, no, no.

956
00:44:01.287 --> 00:44:04.195
There's going to be consequences, repercussions

957
00:44:04.575 --> 00:44:07.543
based on. And I'm like, no, no, they're not going

958
00:44:07.559 --> 00:44:10.255
to address it. And I know they

959
00:44:10.295 --> 00:44:13.071
could, but as of right now, they

960
00:44:13.103 --> 00:44:15.719
have not, which I'm not surprised.

961
00:44:15.887 --> 00:44:16.447
>> Will: Yeah.

962
00:44:16.551 --> 00:44:17.235
>> Sarah : Yeah.

963
00:44:18.415 --> 00:44:21.383
>> Will: I was wrong. I was wrong. I thought, I thought we would get resolution to it

964
00:44:21.399 --> 00:44:24.387
sooner. But, you're right. It'll, it'll most likely be season two

965
00:44:24.411 --> 00:44:25.135
or three.

966
00:44:25.905 --> 00:44:28.729
>> Sarah : Yeah. If it's season three. I

967
00:44:28.777 --> 00:44:30.165
still think I'm right.

968
00:44:30.625 --> 00:44:32.449
>> Will: Yeah, you're right. I mean, yeah.

969
00:44:32.617 --> 00:44:35.105
>> Sarah : The statue of limitations for

970
00:44:35.145 --> 00:44:37.525
addressing something like that.

971
00:44:39.225 --> 00:44:42.045
>> Will: Yeah. We're still waiting for, we're still waiting for WandaVision. So,

972
00:44:43.105 --> 00:44:43.885
yeah.

973
00:44:45.345 --> 00:44:46.325
>> Sarah : It's just

974
00:44:48.185 --> 00:44:51.065
when things happen and nobody goes

975
00:44:51.105 --> 00:44:54.005
back to it, man, it sticks out like a sore

976
00:44:54.165 --> 00:44:54.865
thor.

977
00:44:55.325 --> 00:44:56.625
My goodness.

978
00:44:58.895 --> 00:45:01.761
I, you know, the,

979
00:45:02.755 --> 00:45:04.055
episode ten,

980
00:45:05.795 --> 00:45:08.769
I fell asleep a little bit, because I'm just, I'm just

981
00:45:08.817 --> 00:45:11.731
not an action person. And, it's

982
00:45:11.763 --> 00:45:14.135
very hard for me to

983
00:45:14.475 --> 00:45:17.131
at this point, really be

984
00:45:17.163 --> 00:45:19.649
engaged in a third

985
00:45:19.777 --> 00:45:22.761
party, end of the world, blah,

986
00:45:22.793 --> 00:45:25.405
blah, blah. But I have to be honest,

987
00:45:26.705 --> 00:45:29.547
while watching it, just because there

988
00:45:29.571 --> 00:45:32.419
was an asteroid for some reason,

989
00:45:32.467 --> 00:45:35.267
and I think somebody talked about the dinosaurs at one

990
00:45:35.291 --> 00:45:38.251
time, my mind went straight to Batman and

991
00:45:38.283 --> 00:45:38.975
Robin

992
00:45:42.475 --> 00:45:45.475
because there's a line where Arnold's fortunate

993
00:45:45.515 --> 00:45:48.379
or says something about the ice age, like,

994
00:45:48.467 --> 00:45:51.345
and all of the freaking puns and that. And I'm just

995
00:45:51.385 --> 00:45:53.445
like, no, no,

996
00:45:56.625 --> 00:45:59.489
because there was, there was a point in this episode where there were

997
00:45:59.537 --> 00:46:02.225
so many different puns that I'm like, no, these

998
00:46:02.265 --> 00:46:04.817
are, these are not. No,

999
00:46:05.001 --> 00:46:06.245
don't do it.

1000
00:46:09.825 --> 00:46:12.783
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, I agree. it

1001
00:46:12.799 --> 00:46:15.567
was the episode ten. Well, I

1002
00:46:15.671 --> 00:46:18.087
really, really did enjoy, I didn't fall asleep on it or

1003
00:46:18.111 --> 00:46:20.935
anything. And there was a lot of

1004
00:46:20.975 --> 00:46:23.741
action. And of course, we already talked about the, all the,

1005
00:46:23.893 --> 00:46:26.879
all the cameos that we saw. But, at

1006
00:46:26.887 --> 00:46:29.887
the end, I like the way that it started because as

1007
00:46:29.911 --> 00:46:32.335
we were discussing earlier about Charles

1008
00:46:32.495 --> 00:46:35.487
and, Magneto's friendship. I did.

1009
00:46:35.639 --> 00:46:38.211
I did like that. I did like the,

1010
00:46:41.111 --> 00:46:42.891
how it challenged

1011
00:46:44.431 --> 00:46:46.531
our view of Charles because,

1012
00:46:47.321 --> 00:46:50.297
you know, at the end of the day, he was like,

1013
00:46:50.329 --> 00:46:52.937
look, I don't want to have to force myself

1014
00:46:53.049 --> 00:46:55.873
on you, but in order to

1015
00:46:55.897 --> 00:46:58.625
save the day, he had to compromise his ethics and

1016
00:46:58.673 --> 00:47:01.649
his moral compass to do the very thing he

1017
00:47:01.665 --> 00:47:04.321
said he wasn't going to do. And

1018
00:47:04.481 --> 00:47:06.889
I did like them going into

1019
00:47:06.945 --> 00:47:09.763
that. you know, especially knowing

1020
00:47:09.787 --> 00:47:12.551
their friendship, knowing how they had it fallen out

1021
00:47:16.661 --> 00:47:19.541
and the sheer power

1022
00:47:19.621 --> 00:47:22.157
of these two omega level mutants,

1023
00:47:22.229 --> 00:47:24.959
like merging like this, which I think

1024
00:47:25.055 --> 00:47:27.491
comic readers will know that,

1025
00:47:28.087 --> 00:47:31.081
onslaught was a character in the comic

1026
00:47:31.121 --> 00:47:33.697
books that whenever Charles and Magneto

1027
00:47:33.729 --> 00:47:36.141
combined, that was a villain

1028
00:47:37.541 --> 00:47:40.485
part of the X Men's comic book series. So, you

1029
00:47:40.493 --> 00:47:43.223
know, so all of that together, that was

1030
00:47:43.407 --> 00:47:46.271
really the underlying ethical issues that were sort of at play.

1031
00:47:46.311 --> 00:47:48.785
There were really something that I was just like, All right.

1032
00:47:49.325 --> 00:47:49.761
>> Sarah : Yeah.

1033
00:47:50.139 --> 00:47:52.883
>> Will: yeah, that was, you know, and, you know, because

1034
00:47:52.979 --> 00:47:55.979
everybody, this line is this Charles. And you know, he's always trying to

1035
00:47:55.987 --> 00:47:58.915
do the right thing, but even he, it reaches a point where

1036
00:47:58.955 --> 00:48:01.923
he has to like, bend the rules, recognizes that

1037
00:48:01.939 --> 00:48:03.015
he has to do it.

1038
00:48:03.365 --> 00:48:04.105
>> Sarah : Right.

1039
00:48:05.885 --> 00:48:08.453
Yeah. so,

1040
00:48:08.549 --> 00:48:11.365
yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, that was

1041
00:48:11.405 --> 00:48:14.277
good. I, again, it's hard for

1042
00:48:14.301 --> 00:48:17.269
me for some reason. I didn't. It's,

1043
00:48:17.357 --> 00:48:20.235
I don't know, I'm just, I'm just, even though

1044
00:48:20.315 --> 00:48:23.123
it's an interesting dynamic

1045
00:48:23.179 --> 00:48:25.891
and everything. I'm just always like, Charles a good

1046
00:48:25.923 --> 00:48:26.495
guy.

1047
00:48:26.875 --> 00:48:27.655
>> Will: Yeah.

1048
00:48:28.475 --> 00:48:31.123
>> Sarah : Like, at the end of the day, yeah, he can do,

1049
00:48:31.219 --> 00:48:34.107
like, a bad thing, but he also did it

1050
00:48:34.131 --> 00:48:36.547
to quote unquote semi villain.

1051
00:48:36.691 --> 00:48:39.403
So. So, yeah, yeah, he's right.

1052
00:48:39.539 --> 00:48:42.491
This is so weird. It's so weird. But what I

1053
00:48:42.523 --> 00:48:45.259
liked was there was that whole moment

1054
00:48:45.387 --> 00:48:48.051
where Charles was trying to convince him about

1055
00:48:48.123 --> 00:48:51.091
people and stuff. And, like, they

1056
00:48:51.203 --> 00:48:53.731
flashed that image of rogue in a

1057
00:48:53.763 --> 00:48:54.355
boat.

1058
00:48:54.515 --> 00:48:55.547
>> Will: Oh, yeah. yeah.

1059
00:48:55.641 --> 00:48:58.455
>> Sarah : Which did make me think of three body, one problem

1060
00:48:58.535 --> 00:49:01.343
because of that whole. Yeah, you know what I'm talking about.

1061
00:49:01.439 --> 00:49:01.887
>> Will: I do.

1062
00:49:01.951 --> 00:49:04.849
>> Sarah : And, And. But, like, in an instant when he's

1063
00:49:04.881 --> 00:49:07.705
like, oh, like, ro can be that person. And then I

1064
00:49:07.729 --> 00:49:10.705
love how, like, within the span of a second, he just was like,

1065
00:49:10.769 --> 00:49:12.133
but she left me.

1066
00:49:14.593 --> 00:49:17.169
No, you're not

1067
00:49:17.241 --> 00:49:20.017
wrong. It's

1068
00:49:20.065 --> 00:49:23.033
very funny to me the way you just like,

1069
00:49:23.073 --> 00:49:26.035
oh, rogue, but she left me. And I'm like,

1070
00:49:26.099 --> 00:49:28.851
yeah, she left you in genocide and then you

1071
00:49:28.907 --> 00:49:31.699
self sacrificed yourself for her.

1072
00:49:31.771 --> 00:49:34.443
So I just. Where are you at with

1073
00:49:34.483 --> 00:49:37.291
this? Where

1074
00:49:37.347 --> 00:49:39.463
are you at with this? And,

1075
00:49:39.439 --> 00:49:42.117
So let's. Let's talk about the after

1076
00:49:42.165 --> 00:49:42.853
credit scene.

1077
00:49:42.933 --> 00:49:43.213
>> Will: Yeah.

1078
00:49:43.253 --> 00:49:46.197
>> Sarah : Because I was smart and I checked

1079
00:49:46.285 --> 00:49:49.139
and I was like, oh, I see, I see. They're doing.

1080
00:49:49.261 --> 00:49:52.245
They're doing that. and there isn't a

1081
00:49:52.309 --> 00:49:55.293
mid or an after credit scene, whatever you would call

1082
00:49:55.333 --> 00:49:57.733
it. which basically

1083
00:49:58.753 --> 00:50:01.697
we get a fast forward to six months since quote unquote

1084
00:50:01.745 --> 00:50:04.137
e day happened and rumors

1085
00:50:04.225 --> 00:50:06.777
were still swirling about the fate of the X

1086
00:50:06.825 --> 00:50:09.153
Men. Bishop, is back

1087
00:50:09.533 --> 00:50:12.261
and he greets forge, who was on

1088
00:50:12.317 --> 00:50:15.205
earth. And so he's still one of the survivors

1089
00:50:15.269 --> 00:50:18.051
and trying to find his goddess. A

1090
00:50:18.067 --> 00:50:20.657
case storm. And, And.

1091
00:50:20.785 --> 00:50:23.473
And Bishop and. And him are

1092
00:50:23.513 --> 00:50:26.113
gonna. Are gonna go out and try to find the X Men

1093
00:50:26.153 --> 00:50:28.809
because in the future, they are

1094
00:50:28.841 --> 00:50:31.673
BFF's forever. So apparently

1095
00:50:31.753 --> 00:50:34.089
or something, they're at least more than

1096
00:50:34.121 --> 00:50:34.817
acquaintances.

1097
00:50:34.945 --> 00:50:37.769
>> Will: They know they are. Yeah, they know each other. And

1098
00:50:37.801 --> 00:50:40.645
also, cable, is still there in

1099
00:50:40.669 --> 00:50:43.285
present day. So, you know, so I know cable and

1100
00:50:43.309 --> 00:50:45.743
forge, you know, form x force. So.

1101
00:50:45.853 --> 00:50:48.623
>> Sarah : Yes. And then we get.

1102
00:50:49.883 --> 00:50:52.635
We get to see where the X Men are and

1103
00:50:52.659 --> 00:50:55.303
there. And everyone's a bit spread out

1104
00:50:55.923 --> 00:50:58.403
in different places, but there is one

1105
00:50:58.483 --> 00:51:01.383
common figure in these places.

1106
00:51:02.513 --> 00:51:05.417
and I'm not going to say that first name, so I'm just going to go straight

1107
00:51:05.465 --> 00:51:07.653
to and Sabano

1108
00:51:09.073 --> 00:51:11.979
and Sabineur. and I'm not ashamed to

1109
00:51:12.011 --> 00:51:14.639
admit I was like, that name sounds awfully

1110
00:51:14.671 --> 00:51:17.567
familiar. Cut to 5 seconds later when it's clearly

1111
00:51:17.615 --> 00:51:20.615
apocalypse and genocide ever dead. I'm

1112
00:51:20.639 --> 00:51:23.471
like, yep. I knew it sounded familiar. I just couldn't place it.

1113
00:51:23.567 --> 00:51:26.423
>> Will: Yep, yep, yep.

1114
00:51:26.543 --> 00:51:28.127
Got past, present and future.

1115
00:51:28.255 --> 00:51:30.919
>> Sarah : Yeah. Yep. And then we have mother

1116
00:51:31.031 --> 00:51:32.163
Azogne.

1117
00:51:33.743 --> 00:51:34.695
>> Will: Asconny.

1118
00:51:34.839 --> 00:51:35.831
>> Sarah : Asconi.

1119
00:51:35.967 --> 00:51:36.519
>> Will: Yeah.

1120
00:51:36.631 --> 00:51:38.323
>> Sarah : And now. Now, who is she?

1121
00:51:39.203 --> 00:51:41.883
>> Will: So, spoiler alert for

1122
00:51:41.923 --> 00:51:44.575
folks, if you don't want to

1123
00:51:44.599 --> 00:51:47.199
know, but

1124
00:51:47.311 --> 00:51:48.643
she is a summers.

1125
00:51:51.823 --> 00:51:53.633
She's, Scott Summers daughter.

1126
00:51:55.773 --> 00:51:56.581
>> Sarah : Interesting.

1127
00:51:56.677 --> 00:51:57.621
>> Will: Cables, brother.

1128
00:51:57.757 --> 00:51:57.759
>> Sarah : Cables.

1129
00:51:57.759 --> 00:51:59.993
>> Will: Ah, yeah. Cables. Her brother. Yeah.

1130
00:52:03.473 --> 00:52:06.009
So, yeah, that's who she is.

1131
00:52:06.201 --> 00:52:09.017
>> Sarah : That's who she is. Okay,

1132
00:52:09.145 --> 00:52:12.133
interesting. So. So they're in the future

1133
00:52:12.593 --> 00:52:15.377
because that is that who Scott and Gene

1134
00:52:15.425 --> 00:52:18.265
encounter? Yeah, because. And then.

1135
00:52:18.369 --> 00:52:21.249
And then it's who encounters and

1136
00:52:21.281 --> 00:52:23.013
salmon here in the past.

1137
00:52:23.289 --> 00:52:25.583
>> Will: that is storm.

1138
00:52:28.443 --> 00:52:29.239
Yeah.

1139
00:52:29.411 --> 00:52:30.763
>> Sarah : Where's Rogue?

1140
00:52:31.143 --> 00:52:32.703
>> Will: Rogue is still in present day.

1141
00:52:32.863 --> 00:52:34.643
>> Sarah : Rogue is still in present day.

1142
00:52:35.823 --> 00:52:38.487
Okay. Okay. Okay.

1143
00:52:38.535 --> 00:52:41.421
So, so we have. We have a team

1144
00:52:41.477 --> 00:52:42.765
in the past. Oh, yeah.

1145
00:52:42.789 --> 00:52:44.473
>> Will: Nightcrawlers also in the past.

1146
00:52:44.933 --> 00:52:47.805
>> Sarah : Nightclub callers in the past. And then we have

1147
00:52:47.869 --> 00:52:49.473
team summers in the future.

1148
00:52:49.813 --> 00:52:50.533
>> Will: Right.

1149
00:52:50.693 --> 00:52:53.173
>> Sarah : We have. Okay, we have. We have

1150
00:52:53.293 --> 00:52:56.085
Xavier team in the past. Summers in the

1151
00:52:56.109 --> 00:52:58.861
future. Is it just gene and cyclops in the

1152
00:52:58.877 --> 00:52:59.509
future?

1153
00:53:00.331 --> 00:53:03.211
>> Will: now, trying to remember if rogue

1154
00:53:03.243 --> 00:53:06.123
was a part of them or not. With them or not. I

1155
00:53:06.139 --> 00:53:08.055
think Rogue was still in present day

1156
00:53:09.035 --> 00:53:11.149
with, with Roberto. Did they

1157
00:53:11.649 --> 00:53:14.017
or did she go with them too? I can't remember.

1158
00:53:14.153 --> 00:53:16.349
>> Sarah : See for, ah, summary. Well,

1159
00:53:16.969 --> 00:53:18.989
I don't know, because at one point,

1160
00:53:20.469 --> 00:53:23.033
for, some reason, I feel like she's in.

1161
00:53:23.161 --> 00:53:25.709
In one of, like she's not in present day.

1162
00:53:26.729 --> 00:53:29.601
But. But viewers or listeners let

1163
00:53:29.625 --> 00:53:32.583
us know and, we're gonna go back and.

1164
00:53:32.639 --> 00:53:33.327
And probably.

1165
00:53:33.431 --> 00:53:35.865
>> Will: Oh, actually, rogue actually, look,

1166
00:53:35.929 --> 00:53:38.801
Rogue. So Magneto, Rogue, Nightcrawler,

1167
00:53:38.857 --> 00:53:41.373
Beast and Xavier are all sit back in time.

1168
00:53:41.673 --> 00:53:44.545
>> Sarah : Okay. That makes more sense because I don't know why

1169
00:53:44.569 --> 00:53:47.209
the writers would separate Magneto and Rogue at this

1170
00:53:47.241 --> 00:53:49.935
point. Right. And so it's really

1171
00:53:49.999 --> 00:53:52.007
just Scott and Gene in the future.

1172
00:53:52.175 --> 00:53:55.007
>> Will: Scott Jean. Yeah. Because cable still.

1173
00:53:55.135 --> 00:53:57.323
Cable still at present day.

1174
00:53:57.743 --> 00:53:59.683
>> Sarah : Yeah. Where's Jubilee?

1175
00:54:03.727 --> 00:54:05.199
>> Will: I don't know. I can't recall.

1176
00:54:05.263 --> 00:54:07.495
>> Sarah : Well. Well. Don't know. Don't care.

1177
00:54:07.551 --> 00:54:08.307
Okay.

1178
00:54:12.047 --> 00:54:14.903
Okay. Well, the team is

1179
00:54:14.935 --> 00:54:15.743
divided.

1180
00:54:15.935 --> 00:54:16.735
>> Will: Yeah.

1181
00:54:16.911 --> 00:54:19.847
>> Sarah : And it makes sense, considering if you look back at,

1182
00:54:19.887 --> 00:54:22.591
like, at this, the overall a

1183
00:54:22.639 --> 00:54:25.463
storyline and b storyline, to

1184
00:54:25.495 --> 00:54:28.495
have these. These two groups to

1185
00:54:28.511 --> 00:54:31.399
be where they are, it makes sense. And

1186
00:54:31.423 --> 00:54:34.151
when we got our. Got our, like,

1187
00:54:34.279 --> 00:54:37.269
cable. Cable, bishop story

1188
00:54:37.453 --> 00:54:40.403
right in the middle. So. So it's a

1189
00:54:40.435 --> 00:54:42.851
very good setup for a season two.

1190
00:54:42.979 --> 00:54:44.163
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah.

1191
00:54:44.355 --> 00:54:47.259
>> Sarah : And. And also taking

1192
00:54:47.323 --> 00:54:49.507
the conflicts from the season or the

1193
00:54:49.547 --> 00:54:51.727
unresolved items,

1194
00:54:52.503 --> 00:54:55.137
and allowing them to be brought forward

1195
00:54:55.957 --> 00:54:58.445
while at the same time kind of starting the next

1196
00:54:58.501 --> 00:55:01.017
chapter with everything and everyone.

1197
00:55:01.743 --> 00:55:04.527
but I will say, I don't know if I'm ready for

1198
00:55:04.567 --> 00:55:07.429
apocalypse. I

1199
00:55:07.453 --> 00:55:10.061
just, I mean, that was,

1200
00:55:10.229 --> 00:55:13.109
I know it's probably like, what was

1201
00:55:13.133 --> 00:55:16.061
it, 2015? So it's been almost a decade

1202
00:55:16.189 --> 00:55:18.573
since the, the live action

1203
00:55:18.725 --> 00:55:21.725
apocalypse movie came out. Correct me if I'm wrong,

1204
00:55:21.781 --> 00:55:23.005
2016 maybe.

1205
00:55:23.061 --> 00:55:24.337
>> Will: That's about right. Yeah.

1206
00:55:25.237 --> 00:55:28.053
>> Sarah : So it's just, it just feels soon, very

1207
00:55:28.125 --> 00:55:30.737
soon, because that did not go well.

1208
00:55:32.077 --> 00:55:34.269
That was not in the upper

1209
00:55:34.413 --> 00:55:35.541
echelon.

1210
00:55:35.709 --> 00:55:38.645
>> Will: Yeah. But I think by that, one I had already, I had already built

1211
00:55:38.691 --> 00:55:39.865
all the series. So.

1212
00:55:40.001 --> 00:55:42.817
>> Sarah : Yeah, it was, I mean, and, and they even

1213
00:55:42.857 --> 00:55:44.681
had Oscar Isaac do it.

1214
00:55:44.769 --> 00:55:47.673
>> Will: Like, oh, yeah, that's right, that's

1215
00:55:47.705 --> 00:55:47.921
right.

1216
00:55:47.969 --> 00:55:50.693
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah. Like, it's

1217
00:55:50.959 --> 00:55:53.255
so interesting to me, the movie

1218
00:55:53.303 --> 00:55:54.851
stars who,

1219
00:55:55.591 --> 00:55:58.479
you see them

1220
00:55:58.615 --> 00:56:01.207
in these roles and you're like, man, he can play

1221
00:56:01.279 --> 00:56:04.159
everything. And then you pull out the book and he's like, well,

1222
00:56:04.215 --> 00:56:06.725
he tried. Do you not recall this

1223
00:56:06.773 --> 00:56:09.717
movie? I mean, he was in Apocalypse and then

1224
00:56:09.869 --> 00:56:12.703
he did, the beloved MCU series that

1225
00:56:12.727 --> 00:56:13.931
I'm blanking on.

1226
00:56:16.391 --> 00:56:17.171
Yeah.

1227
00:56:18.031 --> 00:56:20.411
Which is another one that

1228
00:56:20.791 --> 00:56:23.631
I don't know that I guess everybody was

1229
00:56:23.671 --> 00:56:26.591
mixed on but you. And you were really,

1230
00:56:26.751 --> 00:56:28.599
really not feeling that show.

1231
00:56:28.695 --> 00:56:30.279
>> Will: We weren't feeling it at all. We.

1232
00:56:30.335 --> 00:56:30.387
>> Sarah : Yeah.

1233
00:56:30.387 --> 00:56:33.331
>> Will: and I guess, I think, I think moving forward, I think they're going to read

1234
00:56:33.441 --> 00:56:35.383
christen that one under the whole spotlight.

1235
00:56:35.831 --> 00:56:36.511
bama.

1236
00:56:36.671 --> 00:56:39.615
>> Sarah : I'm, I'm sure because I

1237
00:56:39.703 --> 00:56:42.087
don't, I can only imagine Oscar

1238
00:56:42.119 --> 00:56:44.919
Isaac's rate continues to just grow up.

1239
00:56:44.975 --> 00:56:45.571
Like.

1240
00:56:47.671 --> 00:56:50.615
>> Will: There'S not going to be a season two of that one. I may eat my words,

1241
00:56:50.663 --> 00:56:51.743
but, but.

1242
00:56:51.807 --> 00:56:54.231
>> Sarah : Yeah, m with m Nicholas

1243
00:56:54.271 --> 00:56:55.399
Gaussian. So.

1244
00:56:55.455 --> 00:56:56.091
>> Will: Yeah,

1245
00:56:59.031 --> 00:57:01.615
yeah. But you're right about Apocalypse and just, you

1246
00:57:01.623 --> 00:57:04.607
know, whether or not it's too soon, but

1247
00:57:04.639 --> 00:57:07.599
also just sort of setting things up. Especially as,

1248
00:57:07.615 --> 00:57:10.399
you know, we got the mid credit and then of course the,

1249
00:57:10.535 --> 00:57:12.331
I guess in credit there,

1250
00:57:13.531 --> 00:57:16.441
was the, with you know, seeing the gambit card and

1251
00:57:17.301 --> 00:57:18.441
everything there.

1252
00:57:19.341 --> 00:57:21.801
>> Sarah : That's it. That's another thing that

1253
00:57:23.781 --> 00:57:26.005
I don't know how to feel about that.

1254
00:57:26.173 --> 00:57:29.125
Because if they do bring him back next

1255
00:57:29.173 --> 00:57:31.781
season, I guess it'll all

1256
00:57:31.821 --> 00:57:34.333
depend on how, like in season

1257
00:57:34.397 --> 00:57:37.293
two, if they bring him back, how they bring him back

1258
00:57:37.317 --> 00:57:40.275
and everything to see, to

1259
00:57:40.363 --> 00:57:42.751
try to figure out how I feel about that because

1260
00:57:43.851 --> 00:57:46.667
I was already like, I don't know about the stakes of this

1261
00:57:46.699 --> 00:57:49.491
show, but they really kill them. Yeah, but

1262
00:57:49.531 --> 00:57:52.503
now they're kind of teasing that, they're gonna bring them back. And it's like,

1263
00:57:52.527 --> 00:57:55.283
okay, well, if you're gonna bring them back, then, I don't know.

1264
00:57:55.447 --> 00:57:58.347
>> Will: Yeah, if you can bring it back, then, you know, then

1265
00:57:58.419 --> 00:58:01.419
the whole cable can use his

1266
00:58:01.435 --> 00:58:04.363
time travel magic to, like, save Janosha. I mean, and,

1267
00:58:04.387 --> 00:58:05.203
you know, so it's.

1268
00:58:05.227 --> 00:58:07.627
>> Sarah : Just like, no, no, I

1269
00:58:07.819 --> 00:58:10.323
see there's a line at one point,

1270
00:58:10.387 --> 00:58:10.899
though.

1271
00:58:11.035 --> 00:58:11.467
>> Will: Yeah.

1272
00:58:11.735 --> 00:58:14.703
>> Sarah : that alludes to what they were alluding to in

1273
00:58:14.727 --> 00:58:17.701
WandaVision. and I forget

1274
00:58:17.741 --> 00:58:20.659
what they called it. Called it in WandaVision, but there's.

1275
00:58:20.765 --> 00:58:22.423
There is a certain event.

1276
00:58:22.607 --> 00:58:23.863
>> Will: Oh, the Nexus events.

1277
00:58:23.927 --> 00:58:26.599
>> Sarah : A Nexus. Yeah, I think it's a Nexus event.

1278
00:58:26.735 --> 00:58:27.239
>> Will: Yeah.

1279
00:58:27.335 --> 00:58:29.959
>> Sarah : The way they talked about it just

1280
00:58:30.015 --> 00:58:32.719
reminded me of the way they were talking about Nexus

1281
00:58:32.775 --> 00:58:34.367
events in WandaVision.

1282
00:58:34.519 --> 00:58:37.311
>> Will: Yeah, true,

1283
00:58:37.391 --> 00:58:40.167
true. Yeah. And I know they also have that

1284
00:58:40.199 --> 00:58:41.291
Loki as well.

1285
00:58:41.631 --> 00:58:44.527
>> Sarah : Right, right. Yeah. So. So

1286
00:58:44.599 --> 00:58:46.811
I think. I think that,

1287
00:58:48.761 --> 00:58:51.489
again, could go back a few minutes, like,

1288
00:58:51.545 --> 00:58:54.537
Feige is here. And I don't though,

1289
00:58:54.609 --> 00:58:57.461
just the way they talked about it.

1290
00:58:58.041 --> 00:59:00.561
There were some words used where I'm just like,

1291
00:59:00.851 --> 00:59:03.755
I. Hm. Feel like I know what kind of thing you're

1292
00:59:03.803 --> 00:59:06.275
referring to, which makes me accept

1293
00:59:06.363 --> 00:59:08.891
this as.

1294
00:59:09.011 --> 00:59:11.771
Because. And I don't

1295
00:59:11.811 --> 00:59:14.475
think. I don't think it would be a smart move to play that

1296
00:59:14.563 --> 00:59:17.035
card because that doesn't make

1297
00:59:17.083 --> 00:59:20.075
cable as tragic of a character as he could

1298
00:59:20.123 --> 00:59:22.227
be, given his abilities.

1299
00:59:22.419 --> 00:59:22.979
>> Will: Yeah.

1300
00:59:23.075 --> 00:59:25.891
>> Sarah : Like, if you can travel back in

1301
00:59:25.931 --> 00:59:28.311
time, well, you could fix so much.

1302
00:59:28.877 --> 00:59:31.641
but. But if, like, it

1303
00:59:31.681 --> 00:59:34.625
suddenly becomes more of a curse, like. But I

1304
00:59:34.673 --> 00:59:37.297
can't fix this one

1305
00:59:37.369 --> 00:59:40.163
thing. despite my ability,

1306
00:59:40.267 --> 00:59:43.179
like, I could save all these others, but the one person I really

1307
00:59:43.235 --> 00:59:44.447
want to save, I can.

1308
00:59:44.579 --> 00:59:45.531
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah.

1309
00:59:46.511 --> 00:59:49.079
>> Sarah : That reminds me of what if with Doctor

1310
00:59:49.135 --> 00:59:51.855
Strange, like, him trying to. To

1311
00:59:51.943 --> 00:59:54.547
use his powers to change,

1312
00:59:56.931 --> 00:59:59.071
his own fate, and it's just.

1313
00:59:59.771 --> 01:00:02.611
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, and I guess that makes sense too,

1314
01:00:02.651 --> 01:00:05.587
because the watcher was overseeing things when that whole thing went

1315
01:00:05.619 --> 01:00:07.107
down in Judosha, so.

1316
01:00:07.299 --> 01:00:10.299
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's another

1317
01:00:10.395 --> 01:00:13.349
reason why it's definitely is more likely to

1318
01:00:13.365 --> 01:00:14.445
be a nexus event.

1319
01:00:14.573 --> 01:00:15.333
>> Will: Yeah.

1320
01:00:15.517 --> 01:00:16.321
>> Sarah : Yeah.

1321
01:00:17.081 --> 01:00:19.821
all right, well, on that note,

1322
01:00:20.461 --> 01:00:23.133
will, why don't you tell our listeners where they can find you?

1323
01:00:23.277 --> 01:00:26.165
