I'm your host, Malsain, joined as always by the 3 00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:43.759 one, the only super ie Patch Wolf More. It's fantastic to be here 4 00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:51.280 to talk about a top five, maybe top three, maybe top two episode 5 00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:55.600 of Cowboy Bebop. Yes, it's my favorite episode of the entire series, 6 00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:00.439 and then one of my least favorite episodes of the insane. I hope we're 7 00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:03.399 talking about the same one. Oh, we gotta be. There's no way 8 00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:07.400 we've got this backwards. Yeah, boogie woogie fing sway baby. We are 9 00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:14.239 also joined by the anime queen Lucy James Games. You've been dubbed the queen 10 00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:19.079 now that's what they call me, just like the British monarchy, a position 11 00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:25.799 I'm unqualified for but was born into. And Jeff Becklasso. Yeah, I'm 12 00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:30.640 most certainly here. I'm rested, I'm relaxed, and I'm ready to talk 13 00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:38.439 about what I do think is one of my favorite Cowboy Bebop episodes. Before 14 00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:41.719 we begin, Lucy has a question for Jeff. Yeah, so just before 15 00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:46.079 we were recording, having a nice little catch up and Jeff just goes, 16 00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:49.560 I'm cooking, but he turns out he was talking about something else. He 17 00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:53.280 went on this big spiel about hey had this amazing like story about this thing 18 00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:56.599 he likes to cook, and that it's really funny but like the inspirational and 19 00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:00.280 like there's some like sade bits in there as well. So I've been be 20 00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:05.560 curious to hear it. Oh that feels bad. That feels That feels bad 21 00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:09.639 when someone just talks up a story that never happened and then you have to 22 00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:15.280 follow it up with nothing really that interesting. You were asking me what I 23 00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:21.120 like to cook. I'm kind of a grill boy. I like barbecuing. 24 00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:24.840 I can do that. Okay, what's the secret this grill? S m 25 00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:34.840 p that's it, s m peper, that's the secret all grilling. Baby. 26 00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:38.919 Yeah, I'm fine. I'm fine. But I like to just just 27 00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:46.879 salt. That's it. That's fair. Garlic, and maybe maybe maybe if 28 00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:51.840 you want to like marinate chicken for a couple of hours before it gets tken 29 00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:57.919 different, different, doesn't need it, doesn't need it. If you know 30 00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:00.199 what you're doing, I think you need if you need to see. Okay, 31 00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:02.719 I'm gonna say something controversial. Here, Okay, if you need to 32 00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:07.159 season a steak, you bought the wrong steak. I'm not saying. I'm 33 00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:08.439 not saying something dry, rub on it. I'm just saying, like, 34 00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:13.400 you don't cook it butter or something. Oh that if you? I mean, 35 00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:19.719 looks most restaurants cook their steaks and butter is Yeah, if you just 36 00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:23.520 drink steak and garlic butter at a fancy restaurant. But if it's just me 37 00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:30.680 having having some John time, that steak is a little salty and delicious in 38 00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:34.840 its own juices. Can we can we go back to what? What? 39 00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:38.400 What else is happening in John Time?

I get the lights a little low. You've 42 00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:53.199 probably listened to some at least a third of the Silent Hill two soundtrack. 43 00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:57.759 You might have a French fancy off to the side, waiting for you and 44 00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:03.719 my fancy, Jeff, A French fancy, a French butler that stands there 45 00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:10.080 and does everything you never had a French fancy.

Leave it out. 72 00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:26.639 Today we are going to be talking about two episodes, Pierre Lafou and 73 00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:33.920 Boogie Woogie Feng Shui. Unfortunately, I was watching Pierre Lafou this morning and 74 00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:43.279 legit getting like physically excited to talk about like a John. No, there's 75 00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:46.639 excitement, holding in his hand and shaking no, no, no, no, 76 00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:51.240 you guys, crumbling John evenings are very mellow affairs. They're very just. 77 00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:55.319 You might have a little glass of whiskey off to the side, John 78 00:06:55.800 --> 00:07:00.800 John Evening. That's that's That's what I say it throughout the entire thing, 79 00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:03.360 Jeff, it's sitting on my bond. It's me sitting on my couch showing 80 00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:06.439 I'm not going to do the voice you're trying to do, Jeff, I'm 81 00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:10.360 going to do the voice you're doing. And so it's me sitting there going 82 00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:18.639 John John Evening Evening for John mister Kipling Whiskey Silent Till two soundtrack. Wait, 83 00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:23.959 so like my French fancy Yeah, but I imagine you're doing it like 84 00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:30.360 the Girl Dinner, Girl Dinner, John even Jove, that is closer to 85 00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:35.120 the tone. How do we feel about this episode? Let's start with the 86 00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:41.240 one, the only John Evening. I mean, there's an arguments to be 87 00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:46.920 made that this might be the best Cowboy Bebop episode. I wouldn't make it, 88 00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:51.319 but I wouldn't hold it against someone for making it. It's definitely the 89 00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:58.279 coolest, Yeah, like the most unexpected. Yeah, that's that's the thing. 90 00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:01.360 I think. Like the other My other two Faceavorite episodes are both to 91 00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:05.600 do with Vicious and one of which we have seen, one of which we 92 00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:13.319 have now, But this episode just comes out of nowhere and is one of 93 00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:18.399 the most incredibly stylish and like like such a tone switch for the entire this 94 00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:22.759 is a horror episode, just weird. It's just weird. It's all over 95 00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:28.800 the place, but like somehow sticks the landing perfectly. Yep uh in you 96 00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:31.240 know, every episode you're like meant to believe the like Spike is just such 97 00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:35.559 a badass that he's never gonna have a problem facing any potential bounty. He's 98 00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:39.279 always just gonna be one step ahead of them, And like you just are 99 00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:43.639 thrown into the idea that like mister Spiegel has met his match and it's a 100 00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:48.559 fucking bullet proof penguin. Just like you're like, all right, well, 101 00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:54.320 let's see what happens here during this fucking carnival of horrors. It's great. 102 00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:01.399 It sort of reminds me of and maybe it's on my mind because it's the 103 00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:03.799 twentieth anniversary of battlestog Actica, and I'm pretty sure I've made this comparison before. 104 00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:09.159 But then there are these some episodes of Beabup where there's just like so 105 00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:15.120 much more money been spent on animation and shit, every single frame of it 106 00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:18.399 looks cool as shit. And this is definitely one of those episodes in Battlestar 107 00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:22.639 they'll be like these bottle episodes where nothing happens, and then the next episode 108 00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:26.440 you will have Cylon fight the whole thing, all of the effects of everything. 109 00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:31.600 You feel like it is very clear they brought someone in specifically to do 110 00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:43.320 the animation on Pierre Lafu, Like the way he moves is insane. He 111 00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:48.960 floats like I don't know why he floats, but he does. He's he's 112 00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:52.879 nearly supernatural. Yeah, definitely is like it's so weird. It reminds me 113 00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:58.279 of a There's mission for E three. I think it is just called Shining 114 00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:01.919 Lights, even in death where for some reason, like randomly, it pivots 115 00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:05.960 into survival horror in this one mission whey, or like in a a wing 116 00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:11.600 of Mother Base where like it's been infected by a virus and all your soldiers 117 00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:15.480 are like dying and screaming and you have to kill them one by that's my 118 00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:18.519 favorite bit of Yeah, yeah, it's one of my favorites. And it's 119 00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:20.200 just like why is this happening? And then you go back to normal and 120 00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:24.919 it's fine. That was weird. Yeah, you're like, okay, I 121 00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:30.519 guess weird. Go on. I feel like the episode has some like interesting 122 00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:35.120 things going on as well, Like I think the little subtle bits between Fay 123 00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:41.960 and Spike are very telling. Yes, this is Yeah, it's laying some 124 00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:48.240 groundwork in a way that is really interesting for la. Yeah. The episode 125 00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:52.799 begins with someone's gonna say something there, Who's gonna say something there? No, 126 00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:58.480 I just sort of realized I was being dropped a hint about something, 127 00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:01.120 and my ears perked up. And sometimes when that happens, I make a 128 00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:09.279 noise like, oh, okay, the episode begins. Uh. This recap 129 00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:11.519 is taken from the Cowboy Bebop fandom wiki. Thank you to everyone who has 130 00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:18.960 contributed and maintains that wiki. It makes my life considerably easier. Episode begins. 131 00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:24.639 We have a mysterious figure on Mars is like lingering in the night sky, 132 00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:28.480 and it descends on a group of very unsuspected men and kills them. 133 00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:35.320 This strange man guns down a bunch of the gods and kills the leading man, 134 00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:43.080 and it's a rather brutal attack and he's very very creepy. Meanwhile, 135 00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:48.360 I love the design of him, he's so unsettling, Like you know that 136 00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:52.759 one bit right here where it just goes does a close up of a smile, 137 00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:58.240 and he just grinds his teeth. If he was such a grinder, 138 00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:05.000 they wouldn't be so perfectly straight, right. No, in fairness to Jeff, 139 00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:09.799 he I think he does do a full on front teeth grind, which 140 00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:16.159 is unhinged. It depends if you have like an over bite, because like 141 00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:18.120 my teeth, when I close them, they don't like naturally come together. 142 00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:22.399 My top ones go over the bottom ones, and I can grind my teeth 143 00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:28.600 while having the teeth properly like interlocked into linked. Yeah, I'm going to 144 00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:33.120 see my agentis later this week to help. For help, we should clarify 145 00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:37.440 that audentist is called Jen. We don't, yeah, we don't, just 146 00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:41.200 refer to dentists as gentists in like a weird way. Yeah. Meanwhile, 147 00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:46.919 Spike is playing pool at cel A V and I even love this little scene 148 00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:50.960 in the pool hall. It's just I really like it. It's it's just 149 00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:54.200 such a nothing even gets said, and Spike beats someone and the guy has 150 00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:58.679 a real li like well that's enough for me, And Spike's like cool, 151 00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:03.080 yeah, and he's like, uh winning uh kind of the poor game looks 152 00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:07.080 like he's almost hustling, right, and then he wins very easily and kind 153 00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:11.919 of like nods and then it says leve and, which translates in French like 154 00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:18.360 that's what it is or that's how life is. So you will you won't. 155 00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:26.639 That's how just a lot of satisfying little pool sounds too bewitched? Is 156 00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:33.399 the song called that's you? Do you know that they went on to do 157 00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:39.799 the soundtrack for deador Alive Extreme Beach Volleyball What, Yeah, that's crazy. 158 00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:43.879 No, I'm thinking of the movie that's the one that Holly Violins was in. 159 00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:45.879 It doesn't matter how I know that. By the way, it's just 160 00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:48.440 yeah, I'm okay, you've never never touched an AVE game in your life, 161 00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:56.159 John, John Evening are coming to light here that are not meant to 162 00:13:56.799 --> 00:14:03.440 Oh boy, watch whole video of John Evening explaining himself. No, no, 163 00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:11.240 I like having a career. So as Spike is leaving this bar where 164 00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:16.080 he's playing pool, the man who's just weirdly killed, everyone sees him and 165 00:14:16.200 --> 00:14:20.840 it just seems to be a chance encounter. But he's I feel like the 166 00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:26.080 weird freak seems to mistake Spike for someone being part of this or at the 167 00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:30.320 very least, he's killing everyone that I've seen him. Yeah. I think 168 00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:33.840 there's a line later on where he said when they say, like he kills 169 00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:37.600 anyone who sees his face. Yeah, So he immediately starts firing shots at 170 00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:43.240 Spike with his gun, which is a cane gun. Badass, Spike, 171 00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:48.159 Like, where are the bullets go at the top? Yeah, but like, 172 00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:52.919 oh, come on, don't love it. I loved it. You 173 00:14:52.039 --> 00:15:00.720 love this episode myself. Let me let me, let me handle him, 174 00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:03.320 let me handle them. Okay, it's not handling me. This is just 175 00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:07.559 who I am. Yes, John, Okay, handle me, mister evening. 176 00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:13.559 Jeff, what's wrong, buddy? Nothing's wrong. Sometimes my brain, 177 00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:18.679 let's see's like a let's see like a candy cane Evening. I think I 178 00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:24.159 do I need a Jeff Saturday? Is what I Those are very different things, 179 00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:28.039 disgusting. I don't need what. You don't know what's involved in a 180 00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:31.759 Jeffrey Saturday. I know you, and I know the kind I get. 181 00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:33.759 Jeff. Look, I am sending you my copy of Debt or Live Extreme 182 00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:41.600 Beach Body. Okay, all right, that'll probably a mistake. Bewitched albums. 183 00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:46.960 Mystiq is coming. I'm okay. Spike rehacts super quickly and dodges the 184 00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:54.919 shots come in his way and hides nearby behind a garbage can and he's firing. 185 00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:58.720 This is where the moment you realize, oh, they spend some money 186 00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:02.200 on this animation because he's like diving and firing at the same time, and 187 00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:04.519 like, oh, there was also like hello frames in there, bro, 188 00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:08.200 And there was also like we didn't even touch on this. There were like 189 00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:11.879 like three D fly throughs at the start of this, right, there was 190 00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:18.159 like some there's some extra juge going on in this budget, right. I 191 00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:25.279 really love how the scenery like just melts around the mad pro like when he 192 00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:29.759 when he shoots something, it gets chewed the fuck up and it makes him 193 00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:34.480 feel so dangerous, satisfying real. Yeah, I love it. All The 194 00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:40.080 bullets have no effect on this mysterious man's They just like stop several feet in 195 00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:45.159 front of him and as if like there's like this weird like wave of energy 196 00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:51.879 effect. Yeah, because it's hitting a force field and then just like negating 197 00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:57.399 the bullets. Then he like floats towards Spike and engages in hand to hand 198 00:16:57.399 --> 00:17:03.120 combat, which is a very very very clever thing to do because by this 199 00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:08.200 point they've properly established through through the kind of like his backstory and also what 200 00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:11.640 we've seen that Spike is an expert in hand to hand combat. So to 201 00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:15.839 see a character directly engage him, you're like, oh, no, this 202 00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:19.039 is this is this is gonna be rough. And like the way this dude 203 00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:26.640 fights is so weird and otherworldly. He throws, he knocks Spike into the 204 00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:32.759 air and starts like guile flush kicking him this over and over. This is 205 00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:37.480 law from Tech and free Law has this exact combo with the flips, Like, 206 00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:40.039 Jeff, what would you do if someone did that to you? How 207 00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:44.119 do you get out of it? Being like juggled in the air the way 208 00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:48.000 this freaking penguin, I don't know why I'm calling him the penguin because it 209 00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:51.480 just reminds me of like the Batman penguin. Little. Yeah, he has 210 00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:55.039 a little DeVito to him, don't we all? Yeah, he's got a 211 00:17:55.400 --> 00:18:00.960 he's got a I don't I don't know. I would just like I would 212 00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:07.759 just to be like, I hope is this over soon? That's all I 213 00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:17.920 can think of, I get thinking like, oh, I hope Spike's okay. 214 00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:22.559 So Spike like throws some kicks and punches at him, and this dude 215 00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:26.680 just like very casually dodges them, then uses a launcher kick and then basically 216 00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:32.039 does laws kicks from teking. The flips over and over while he's mid air 217 00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:36.960 and like juggles him and then lands on. Spike lands on the ground on 218 00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:42.519 his back and looks just cooked so badly. And then this dude he pulls 219 00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:45.480 out is a cane gun and points at a Spike, and there's this like 220 00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:51.640 lingering moment of tension where Spike is looking down the barrel of this very long 221 00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:55.559 gun and you can see they do it in such a right way where he 222 00:18:55.640 --> 00:19:00.279 thinks this is it for a moment he thinks like he doesn't say, well, 223 00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:04.920 it's just it's staged and timed so well that that feeling just hits you 224 00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:08.720 because I felt the exact same tomorrow and it's yeah, it's yeah, it's 225 00:19:08.759 --> 00:19:11.640 so good, And I fucking love this bit. I love this whole episode 226 00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:17.680 though, it's amazing they reinforced this moment and also give you insight into a 227 00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:21.400 Spike as a whole later on when he says like, maybe this is the 228 00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:23.319 one I won't come back for, which kind of hints that, oh, 229 00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:30.480 this guy is trying to die, like yeah, suicidal like edge and I 230 00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:34.559 love a sad well, but yeah, bad boys are the best. I 231 00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:38.440 like a sad boy when it takes a minute to get to it. He 232 00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:41.839 having a sad boy straight away. He has to. He has to have 233 00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:48.680 the appearance of being happy but then deeply be very unhappy. Although after having 234 00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:52.400 dated numerous men who do that not in real life can confirm, oh yeah, 235 00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:59.079 anime fantastic, Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, except for sake, 236 00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:04.759 he sucks. So then so he's looking down the barrow of this gun, 237 00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:11.440 and then nearby a cat makes a very cat like noise and it scares the 238 00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:15.960 shit out of this man and he just like panics, He like he's he's 239 00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:21.319 He stumbles back and just like frantically shoots in the direction of the cat noise. 240 00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:26.079 Cat is like get fucked and runs away, And during this distraction, 241 00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:30.559 Spike springs up off screen, and when it cuts back to him, he's 242 00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:34.759 like rolling this explosive barrow towards the guy. That's so clever, Like of 243 00:20:34.839 --> 00:20:38.640 course, that's like something. Well, I wouldn't try it because I'm very 244 00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:44.559 slow. But that's something that someone like Spike would figure out. Yeah, 245 00:20:44.920 --> 00:20:48.079 what that the red barrels explode. Not that he could do it quickly. 246 00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:52.119 You'd have to have like situational awareness to know that was there already. So 247 00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:57.119 no time, don't don't engage him. Okay, cool, No, No, 248 00:20:57.279 --> 00:21:00.160 I was having a conversation John, but were you doing? Okay, 249 00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:04.519 you're about is. I was like, that's so clever. I'd never think 250 00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:08.400 to do that. And then Jeff comes in and he's like, walka walker, 251 00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:12.720 Oh, super red barrelstone explode like in every video game, and like 252 00:21:12.839 --> 00:21:17.039 just very insulting to my intelligence. Honestly, I don't. Well, look, 253 00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:22.799 you interpreted that the way maybe you organically interpreted interpreted that. I think 254 00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:29.839 you can't outrun an explosion in the way that they implied in this, like 255 00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:37.119 they zoom out from like space and you see a city block fucking get obliterated. 256 00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:42.079 And to be fair, the insert shout of Spike running away from the 257 00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:47.359 explosion is pretty awesome too, because it's like just nipping at his butt. 258 00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:51.839 I'm speaking to the audience, do you guys know that John Luke has to 259 00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:56.440 constantly cut out these intersections where Jeff just goes you guys know, we're looking 260 00:21:56.440 --> 00:22:02.880 at drawings right like nothing's actually happening, and it's like every episode and we're 261 00:22:02.880 --> 00:22:07.400 like, yeah, Jeff, yep, we know it's less, it's less. 262 00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:11.440 Uh. The fact that I can't process that this is fiction and I 263 00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:29.960 like is the Neil Degrass Tyson of anime. Everything stufforious, getting them, 264 00:22:29.960 --> 00:22:33.119 getting getting You didn't have to ruin gravity though that movie was already not that 265 00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:40.039 good. But I know I'm okay with suspending my disbelief. In fact, 266 00:22:40.119 --> 00:22:45.039 I love doing nothing else more than suspending my disbelief. It's totally fun this, 267 00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:48.880 I think. I think, Uh, the root of this is that 268 00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:53.759 the way I like to have fun with anime is by speaking like that. 269 00:22:55.319 --> 00:22:59.039 If that makes If that's fair, we can all do that. That's fair. 270 00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:03.079 Conversation at dinner the other night about your you'll go to dinner, what 271 00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:06.240 are you talking about? Shut up? We hung out for a whole week. 272 00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:10.559 We literally had dinner the other night where you were talking where you were 273 00:23:10.599 --> 00:23:14.640 talking about the fact that your son knows Santa doesn't exist anymore. And now 274 00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:19.400 a lot is really coming into place with that je other people. Oh my 275 00:23:19.519 --> 00:23:23.119 god, that's actually no, it's way more the latter than the former. 276 00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:29.960 Yeah, Jeffy, you better be pausing Alan wake to every like twenty minutes 277 00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:36.079 and being like, well, now wait a minute, I cannot do that. 278 00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:40.240 It's funny because I have no problem with the all factual events that transpire 279 00:23:40.359 --> 00:23:42.920 that video game. No, but you just made me have a bit of 280 00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:48.160 an aha moment with this san Oh no, I'm so far from the tree 281 00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:52.319 at all. I'm sorry, like I don't know what. No, God, 282 00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:56.119 oh god, all right, Wednesday, I can talk about this. 283 00:23:56.200 --> 00:24:03.720 Okay, very good, Okay. Cool. So he rolls up this propane 284 00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:06.640 tank right in front of the man, shoots it, and it causes a 285 00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:11.839 massive explosion, which gives Spike enough time to disappear, But it doesn't look 286 00:24:11.880 --> 00:24:14.519 like he's like. They don't show him like being like, ha I got 287 00:24:14.559 --> 00:24:18.759 away. They just show a massive explosion and then you presume that he he 288 00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:26.160 survived, but it's not one hundred percent clear. Spike makes it out, 289 00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:30.799 and so does the weird dude who he gets like smashed up against the walls, 290 00:24:32.039 --> 00:24:36.680 which is pretty funny. The dude is like just seems like he's untouched, 291 00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:41.640 so wait is this no? And then he gets like a knife at 292 00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:45.759 him, like a dagger at he's untouched, and he appears he throws this 293 00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:51.079 dagger at him and then he like does his the merchant resident evil, what 294 00:24:51.279 --> 00:24:55.039 you're buying or got a collection of good things? And say stranger, it's 295 00:24:55.039 --> 00:25:00.440 just like opens his coat and it's just full of crazy weaponry and again, 296 00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:06.440 we could dance all night, baby, let's go. Yeah, so that's 297 00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:08.640 when you learn that, oh, this guy is a super freak. He's 298 00:25:08.839 --> 00:25:18.000 a killing machine. So Spike begins to escape towards the river and and the 299 00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:22.680 mysterious man just starts lobbing grenades at him through using a grenade launch at there's 300 00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:27.680 a huge explosion and then we don't see what happens. The man disappears into 301 00:25:27.839 --> 00:25:33.440 the night, and the next day we cut to Jet and his friend Bob. 302 00:25:34.480 --> 00:25:41.000 Even the way the mad Piro like his shadow doesn't like slip off. 303 00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:45.519 It just fades screen and yeah, I love that. Yeah, that's a 304 00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:53.920 really nice moment. So Jet is talking to Bob and the chatting about the 305 00:25:53.960 --> 00:26:00.000 incident that happened involving Spike, and he's like, your friend got himself. 306 00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:03.799 Your partner got himself into some real bad trouble and you need to get away 307 00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:07.119 from this. Don't get involved because you might end up getting me in trouble. 308 00:26:08.039 --> 00:26:11.319 So if you could just back over one second, this is I I 309 00:26:11.599 --> 00:26:17.359 thought this when I was watching this episode. Spike only comes into contact with 310 00:26:17.440 --> 00:26:21.599 this guy by chance, Like that's it, just because he left the pool 311 00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:25.400 hall just like place, wrong time. Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally. 312 00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:29.960 I can see why you were thinking about it that it might be like 313 00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:36.799 something scripted as well. Though. But Bob tells uh Jet that the man 314 00:26:36.839 --> 00:26:44.039 that count was called mad Piero and he's basically hunting down high level ISSP directors. 315 00:26:44.759 --> 00:26:52.599 Obviously is sp is a organization that Jet belonged to law enforcement? That's 316 00:26:52.599 --> 00:26:59.079 the right one, isn't it, ye judge the copy a cop. Yeah, 317 00:26:59.359 --> 00:27:03.400 so, and they don't want the ice. Peed doesn't want to know 318 00:27:03.559 --> 00:27:07.480 that these people are being off. So that's the background on what's going on. 319 00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:11.599 Cut to the Bebop and Spiker is on the couch covered in bandages and 320 00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:15.920 the face like, oh, we've got a mummy on board. She's been 321 00:27:15.960 --> 00:27:21.400 real shitty to him. He's like she's just a knee slapper. She's eating 322 00:27:21.839 --> 00:27:26.480 orange. Yeah, so orange is something. Yeah, oranges are like whenever 323 00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:29.240 you go when you think it happens like an animes, I'm sure it's It's 324 00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:32.079 a kind of like thing in other kind of fiction as well. But like 325 00:27:32.319 --> 00:27:34.880 whenever you see a character going to hospital, they usually bringing him an orange, 326 00:27:36.000 --> 00:27:37.880 So the expectation is like she's taking care of him, but then she 327 00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:42.279 starts peeling the orange and eating him, so it's like she's just being shitty 328 00:27:42.319 --> 00:27:52.079 to him. That would look would okay? John? Wait? I look, 329 00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:56.079 I just forgot. It's not John.

I'm sorry. So Spike is talking away but you 340 00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:52.039 can't hear him, just kind of like mumbling through it and face. Yeah, 341 00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:56.680 exactly like a grown up in Peanuts. Yeah, and the phase like, 342 00:28:56.759 --> 00:29:00.200 well, you keep getting some trouble, nobody can to help you. 343 00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:07.319 She also calls she also is like taking the piss out of the way. 344 00:29:07.319 --> 00:29:10.920 He looks a little bit as well, which is, yeah, she's she's 345 00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:12.920 you know, she's kind of look, she's a shitty person right now. 346 00:29:14.559 --> 00:29:17.599 Hot, but she's hot. Yeah, that's she's hot. But that doesn't 347 00:29:17.599 --> 00:29:19.559 give you an excuse to be shitty. I mean, look, sometimes it 348 00:29:19.559 --> 00:29:22.599 does. I mean I feel like a lot of how people get away with 349 00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:25.400 being pretty shitty. Jeff, Yeah, they're in the bubble. Yeah. 350 00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:33.519 Bob is explaining again that Mad Pierro was the seventh person to be involved in 351 00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:41.240 experiments in order to create the ultimate killing machine, and yeah, they they 352 00:29:41.319 --> 00:29:45.279 and he. Bob also reveals that Spike is currently the only known person to 353 00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:55.359 survive and encounter with Mad Pierro. Bob Live, Bob Live, No, 354 00:29:55.440 --> 00:29:59.200 I mean we can. When we were owned by CBS. What was his 355 00:29:59.519 --> 00:30:04.920 name. You used to have these like monthly town halls, but instead of 356 00:30:04.920 --> 00:30:14.319 just being like CBS interactive town hall, it was called Bob Live or caps 357 00:30:12.519 --> 00:30:22.319 see him Live, hanging on. I went to one of those, and 358 00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:26.839 it'll say, fucking cluster. I'm never coming to see Bob Live again. 359 00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:30.519 I preferred our the one, the town hall that we went to where the 360 00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:37.880 guy was drunk. He got fire directly after the thing. Whoa, this 361 00:30:38.839 --> 00:30:44.160 was years ago. This is not a random who was that. He was 362 00:30:44.599 --> 00:30:48.240 the guy from I T who was like setting up in the auditorium. He 363 00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:53.160 tried to do his time and it was catastrophic. It was like Crown. 364 00:30:53.880 --> 00:31:00.119 It was sexist, everything possible, and like we found out about it. 365 00:31:00.240 --> 00:31:03.599 By the time we got like enough information on what had happened, he was 366 00:31:03.599 --> 00:31:08.000 already gone. He was like deactivated slack. He was just gone. He 367 00:31:08.119 --> 00:31:18.279 got back and that man was Matt Rife. Oh nice that, I'm yeah, 368 00:31:18.440 --> 00:31:21.480 yeah, nice job, John, Thank you, Jim, thanks for 369 00:31:21.519 --> 00:31:29.039 congratulating my joke. Mister Evening, well played. Matt Pierrot is shown like 370 00:31:29.519 --> 00:31:34.680 he's like leaving and he's got that smile of that creepy smile that he does 371 00:31:34.839 --> 00:31:40.440 with his teeth bearing, and we also learned that his name is tongue Poo, 372 00:31:41.759 --> 00:31:44.720 which when you say it out like tongue Poo, it doesn't sound very 373 00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:48.599 like threatening Gary, but when they say it, it's really it is kind 374 00:31:48.599 --> 00:31:55.960 of they give it a real like tongue oh ship. Yeah. Edward meanwhile, 375 00:31:56.039 --> 00:32:00.279 receives an email saying that Spike is invited to a party and that's being 376 00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:04.400 held in the theme park Spaceland phase the one that finds it, and she's 377 00:32:04.519 --> 00:32:10.880 like to Edward, don't tell Spike about this, but Spike is behind them, 378 00:32:10.880 --> 00:32:14.480 and he's like, because Spike will just run straight into it, right, 379 00:32:15.480 --> 00:32:20.119 So that's why they were I kind of got the feeling that it seemed 380 00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:23.759 like Fay was trying to go herself. Yeah, but I heard the word 381 00:32:23.839 --> 00:32:28.680 lunkhead used so many times in such a short period of time. Yeah, 382 00:32:28.720 --> 00:32:34.440 everyone calls him the lunkhead. Fay finds out that. Yeah, so they 383 00:32:34.480 --> 00:32:38.039 find he finds out from Fay and he kind of jokes like this is the 384 00:32:38.039 --> 00:32:42.400 one I may not come back from. And then he says, like, 385 00:32:42.559 --> 00:32:45.319 just kidding, and then she's and he's like, if I got into trouble, 386 00:32:45.359 --> 00:32:49.400 would you come rescue me? To Faye, and Faye doesn't really say 387 00:32:49.440 --> 00:32:52.640 anything, just calls him a lunkhead. It's pretty rare. Faye is like 388 00:32:53.359 --> 00:32:59.039 left without an answer. Yeah, yeah, it's true. Also a rare 389 00:32:59.079 --> 00:33:02.720 showing of emotion seems genuine from her as well. Yeah, that's but that's 390 00:33:02.759 --> 00:33:05.759 kind of what I was saying earlier. Like one of the things I like 391 00:33:05.759 --> 00:33:08.599 about this episode is I think like it's the first time you really see Fay 392 00:33:08.680 --> 00:33:15.799 show like genuine concern towards Spike except for the Orange. Yeah exactly. Yeah, 393 00:33:15.839 --> 00:33:21.200 She's like, I'm gonna put garbage on your head, but also I 394 00:33:21.319 --> 00:33:25.759 care if you die or not. That's that's just the perfect partner. Yeah, 395 00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:30.799 it's like they're they're gonna be there for the big ship. Orange is 396 00:33:30.920 --> 00:33:37.680 who cares insane clown men. That's where it matters. After that, jet 397 00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:42.000 Jet pops up and asks Ed to do him a favor. Spike arrives at 398 00:33:42.000 --> 00:33:45.960 Spaceland and tries to you know, get around, and he's clearly still wounded, 399 00:33:45.359 --> 00:33:51.839 but he encounters Tong Pu, who lights up the park and declares that 400 00:33:51.920 --> 00:33:55.960 the party then immediately starts the firefight, and he's like firing at Spike. 401 00:33:57.480 --> 00:34:01.359 Can can we talk about how fucking amaze in spacelanders, Yeah, like, 402 00:34:01.839 --> 00:34:08.000 what is happening like out of where? Out of fictional theme parks? This 403 00:34:08.159 --> 00:34:15.679 place is incredible. Yeah, it looks awesome. Where is it is Mars? 404 00:34:16.199 --> 00:34:19.360 Is it? Well? Is it Mars? Or is it space? 405 00:34:21.880 --> 00:34:27.400 Well it's a space theme? Where is Where is Mars? Jeff? Uh? 406 00:34:27.760 --> 00:34:31.519 Many millions of years? Or where where is? Different? We're in 407 00:34:31.559 --> 00:34:37.480 outer space right now, I'm aware we're I'm playing a little more, a 408 00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:45.519 little more locally. We're on the planet Earth. So you can't say if 409 00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:49.280 you can't say if Spaceland is on Mars, you can't just say it's in 410 00:34:49.360 --> 00:34:52.280 space. My foot down once again about technically. Have you ever been on 411 00:34:52.320 --> 00:34:57.719 the right space mountain? Yes, very recently. I bet you you were 412 00:34:57.760 --> 00:35:07.039 great to be on that with you know, you know you could you imagine 413 00:35:07.400 --> 00:35:09.079 things like clicking up the chains all the way up and I'm just like, 414 00:35:09.079 --> 00:35:17.480 well, this is It's gonna take a lot longer to get space. How 415 00:35:17.519 --> 00:35:22.480 it's still Earth's gravity. That's how this whole right works. In fact, 416 00:35:27.199 --> 00:35:30.159 that's not who I am. Come on, you and your son the same 417 00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:35.000 person. Wait a minute, Wait a minute, you tam Lucy, you're 418 00:35:35.039 --> 00:35:39.119 telling me this whole week we spent together, you have fun, have fun, 419 00:35:42.719 --> 00:35:45.480 have any fun. But I don't pick anything apart and right, John, 420 00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:47.679 a year ago, you and me, we have fun. Right, 421 00:35:49.840 --> 00:35:52.679 we had a lot of fun, had fun. Jeff is asking that with 422 00:35:52.760 --> 00:35:58.920 the tone of I need this please, yeah, maybe not. Look, 423 00:35:59.159 --> 00:36:00.440 I'll say a lot of things with Jeff. I'm not going to pretend isn't 424 00:36:00.480 --> 00:36:07.000 a delight to be around it? Likewise Likewise, So the fight is happening, 425 00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:12.639 and there's like a chase happening between them and the amusement park. Masp 426 00:36:12.719 --> 00:36:16.440 Scots are like just stomping around in the background, which is awesome. Tong 427 00:36:16.519 --> 00:36:20.760 Poo clearly knows how the park is laid out, and he arrives on a 428 00:36:20.760 --> 00:36:25.400 penguin car, which I guess justifies Jeff's comparison to the penguin. Those penguin 429 00:36:25.480 --> 00:36:32.440 carts horrifying. Oh yeah, awful, enjoy they move so fast. He's 430 00:36:32.440 --> 00:36:37.599 firing rockets at Spike. Meanwhile, Jet is telling Ed to hack the mainframe 431 00:36:37.639 --> 00:36:44.679 of the ISSP, specifically section thirteen, which is not in public knowledge, 432 00:36:45.039 --> 00:36:50.239 and Ed gets the work. Spike is continuing to be chased by Tong Pou 433 00:36:50.360 --> 00:36:57.880 and he's shooting at him and he's hoping that basically can draw the power out 434 00:36:57.920 --> 00:37:02.280 of the force field and like where it down. Along the way, Spike 435 00:37:02.400 --> 00:37:08.559 finds another mascot and it's like constantly shoving these weird creatures in the into his 436 00:37:08.639 --> 00:37:13.639 face. It's really funny. He like beats it up for some reason. 437 00:37:13.760 --> 00:37:17.119 I love. I love just how he spends a little too long beating this 438 00:37:17.199 --> 00:37:20.920 thing. Oh yeah, yeah, that's pretty good. Like he fucks it 439 00:37:21.039 --> 00:37:23.880 up. Yeah, And it's just long enough to for like a Peter to 440 00:37:23.960 --> 00:37:30.079 be to catch up and it falls into a roller coaster I think. Tong 441 00:37:30.159 --> 00:37:36.280 pu then intercepts him via another roller coaster, grabs him by the neck with 442 00:37:36.400 --> 00:37:38.440 a like a whip thing, and then tosses him back onto the track, 443 00:37:38.719 --> 00:37:43.000 which it's like, yo, he does that too. He's a master whipsman. 444 00:37:43.719 --> 00:37:47.079 He's a killing machine. He's trained to it. He then throws a 445 00:37:47.119 --> 00:37:52.119 bomb at him in the cart and and then Spike falls into the river below. 446 00:37:52.400 --> 00:37:59.480 Ed then accesses the information and they learn about an assassination skills enhancement experiment 447 00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:02.440 in which an individual named Tong Poo, which is his code name, was 448 00:38:02.480 --> 00:38:07.199 experimented on both genetically and physically. This is a really unsettling moment. It 449 00:38:07.280 --> 00:38:14.440 kind of reminds me of like the testing sections from Akira. It's really cool, 450 00:38:14.440 --> 00:38:17.679 though. I think this moment, like to me, kind of just 451 00:38:17.800 --> 00:38:22.599 ties the whole episode together. Sure, Like I like, I love the 452 00:38:22.679 --> 00:38:29.559 weird shift in tone and like the kind of context that gives tongue pou this 453 00:38:29.599 --> 00:38:34.199 is. I think this was like my first time ever hearing like weird ambient 454 00:38:34.480 --> 00:38:38.000 techno when I was a kid, and that would go on to become my 455 00:38:38.039 --> 00:38:45.440 favorite kind of music. The music in this flashback is fucking awesome. It's 456 00:38:45.880 --> 00:38:47.519 like since, like Jeff, since I was a kid, I have, 457 00:38:47.880 --> 00:38:52.239 like, I would have always looked for music like this because it's so good. 458 00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:58.360 There's something about it. Did I ever tell you guys? I'm filled 459 00:38:58.360 --> 00:39:04.639 with regret now I having seen this five years ago that it's true it's like 460 00:39:04.719 --> 00:39:07.119 this. I know it's never mentioned it I will hear for the first time 461 00:39:07.320 --> 00:39:12.800 no, oh my god. Like and I also think, like, man, 462 00:39:13.239 --> 00:39:20.480 you could have a real tough time inserting that very specific exposition in most 463 00:39:20.480 --> 00:39:23.280 other sort of shows where you like can't always get away with like doing something 464 00:39:23.320 --> 00:39:30.000 like that, but it is like the surgically perfect moment and started in and 465 00:39:30.039 --> 00:39:34.280 it is like, oh the way it all ties together, and especially at 466 00:39:34.320 --> 00:39:37.079 the end of this oh a bit, where like the music is like building, 467 00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:40.400 building, building, building, building, building, building, and then 468 00:39:40.440 --> 00:39:46.320 they're leading him down the hallway and he's completely brain dead and next thing he 469 00:39:46.599 --> 00:39:53.000 just stops and that's where the just little the little music drops an It's so 470 00:39:54.079 --> 00:39:59.000 it's perfect. I don't know how I'll describe it. It's it's fucking incredible. 471 00:39:59.360 --> 00:40:02.199 I also really really appreciate the framing of it at that point and the 472 00:40:02.199 --> 00:40:07.480 perspective, especially because they have Tong Pu or his whatever you want to call 473 00:40:07.559 --> 00:40:13.119 him, Pierre. He's always like on his knees or sitting down and there 474 00:40:12.920 --> 00:40:16.280 the perspective when they show him is always from above looking down, so he 475 00:40:16.360 --> 00:40:22.119 looks like he's subservient. And then when when they cut behind him, these 476 00:40:22.199 --> 00:40:25.960 scientists are always like leering over him, so it creates this sense of sympathy 477 00:40:25.960 --> 00:40:30.159 for him. He looks kind of like he's like being You can tell he's 478 00:40:30.199 --> 00:40:35.239 there against his will. We don't know what he did to get to that 479 00:40:35.320 --> 00:40:37.320 point. Is he just a random that they grabbed or is he someone like 480 00:40:37.400 --> 00:40:40.400 they got out of like a prison colony or something like that. But I 481 00:40:40.440 --> 00:40:44.400 remember the first time, and it happened when I rewatched it. When I 482 00:40:44.400 --> 00:40:46.679 saw him, I was like there was like a pang of like sympathy for 483 00:40:46.800 --> 00:40:50.639 him in that moment. Yeah, it's And it's the same when they're leading 484 00:40:50.679 --> 00:40:52.440 him by the handcuffs and you're like, oh man, they're just going to 485 00:40:52.599 --> 00:40:58.039 lock him away forever. So when that and then it completely shifts when the 486 00:40:58.119 --> 00:41:01.599 smile slowly appears on his face and you realize, oh, this is they're 487 00:41:01.639 --> 00:41:05.719 about to, you know, reap what they saw because this is what they 488 00:41:05.760 --> 00:41:08.920 created now they have to suffer for it. Such a good moment. Perfect 489 00:41:08.960 --> 00:41:13.639 And it's so short as well. Yeah yeah, I mean I feel that 490 00:41:13.679 --> 00:41:15.800 way about this whole episode. I felt like this this episode is like five 491 00:41:15.840 --> 00:41:21.119 minutes long. Yeah. Yeah, I've probably seen it at this point, 492 00:41:21.199 --> 00:41:23.320 I'd say, like a dozen times, because this is this is the one 493 00:41:23.360 --> 00:41:27.679 I rewatched the most. Yeah. Same, I think it's a perfect episode. 494 00:41:28.440 --> 00:41:31.880 The experiment is so while this is happening and he's like being experimented on, 495 00:41:32.000 --> 00:41:36.599 there's this cat nearby that has got like two different color eyes. One 496 00:41:36.599 --> 00:41:40.400 of them is like blackish and like looks almost infected. But like this cat 497 00:41:40.480 --> 00:41:45.880 is just staring at Tong Poo the entire time. It's happening like in a 498 00:41:45.920 --> 00:41:50.800 weird way, and it almost looks like the cat's been experimented on it as 499 00:41:50.840 --> 00:41:57.440 well. The experiment is then canceled because Tong Poo is like his mind is 500 00:41:57.519 --> 00:42:01.440 regressing constantly, and they decided to put him in isolation and quarantine him forever. 501 00:42:02.599 --> 00:42:07.119 They call him insane, and as they're leading him towards like the cell, 502 00:42:07.000 --> 00:42:10.400 the smile appears and he just goes on a rampage where he kills everyone 503 00:42:10.440 --> 00:42:15.320 for revenge. But it doesn't stop there, and they point out that once 504 00:42:15.360 --> 00:42:20.480 he had had revenge, he had regressed to the point where he was just 505 00:42:20.679 --> 00:42:24.679 enjoying killing, so he carried on he had the hunger. Yeah, so 506 00:42:24.800 --> 00:42:30.079 Jack reads Jet says that the experiment caused him to regress into the personality of 507 00:42:30.119 --> 00:42:37.320 a child, and he's a child with essentially superpowers, and then he says 508 00:42:37.440 --> 00:42:42.760 like this, there's nothing as cruel and purely cruel as a child that that 509 00:42:42.760 --> 00:42:45.800 that line has been in my brain for years. Yeah, yeah, and 510 00:42:45.800 --> 00:42:50.440 it's so true. Like if you're imagine, well, imagine like there's a 511 00:42:50.519 --> 00:42:53.079 kid out there and you they don't get told this is bad the first time 512 00:42:53.119 --> 00:43:00.199 they do something bad like it. It's that crazy. It's the paradoxical argument. 513 00:43:01.920 --> 00:43:07.039 Yes, in our people inherently evil. I think children have it in 514 00:43:07.079 --> 00:43:14.400 them to be very very cruel a dickheads, man, they can, but 515 00:43:14.440 --> 00:43:19.360 it's they're not dickheads I think until like a little later, unless unless you 516 00:43:19.440 --> 00:43:24.679 get like one who thinks Christmas is not real. No, no, like 517 00:43:24.760 --> 00:43:29.840 genuinely, if you you think about, like in history, there have been 518 00:43:30.159 --> 00:43:36.719 children who have been legitimately evil. Of course they're not just because they're too 519 00:43:36.840 --> 00:43:39.079 young. Of course, for a period of time, I was a teacher's 520 00:43:39.079 --> 00:43:45.280 assistant, and like there were some kids in the class that I had charge 521 00:43:45.360 --> 00:43:47.519 of that I saw them. There was one in particular that I remember, 522 00:43:47.599 --> 00:43:52.000 and I was like, this kid is going to be a maniac when he 523 00:43:52.039 --> 00:43:55.320 grows up. I know it. And he had like a a spiteful edge 524 00:43:55.360 --> 00:44:00.400 to him, like and he would like literally like that everyone's sitting down and 525 00:44:00.440 --> 00:44:05.039 he's like just tipping tables over and like screaming. And I was like, 526 00:44:05.119 --> 00:44:07.639 this, this kid is doomed. There were kids in my school that would 527 00:44:07.679 --> 00:44:12.960 like stab you with compasses and whatever and like do that whole ship. So 528 00:44:13.119 --> 00:44:15.840 I think that happens later. I think I think every one and a half 529 00:44:15.960 --> 00:44:22.480 year old on the planet is organically uh no good. I think they just 530 00:44:22.719 --> 00:44:29.320 they just don't have the physical capability to commit evil. Yeah, Jeff, 531 00:44:29.360 --> 00:44:31.559 they're thinking about it. Yeah. No. Look, look, I will 532 00:44:31.599 --> 00:44:35.199 be the first to admit that we should, you know, just put all 533 00:44:35.519 --> 00:44:39.079 all babies in jail. Yeah, I mean a crib essentially is a jail. 534 00:44:39.400 --> 00:44:44.599 Jail already did jail? Let them let him out when they're thirty, 535 00:44:44.679 --> 00:44:49.159 and then we can start educating them, and then finally, aside a decent 536 00:44:49.199 --> 00:44:52.440 society we will have. I don't give them a Twitter account, you know, 537 00:44:52.639 --> 00:44:54.639 No, don't even tell them about Twitter. Don't show them the Internet. 538 00:44:55.559 --> 00:45:00.840 There was something like, in all seriousness, like much as I am 539 00:45:00.880 --> 00:45:05.760 the pessimist, there was something like wildly dark about that phrase too, where 540 00:45:05.760 --> 00:45:10.079 it was like said so definitively, like you know, because all children are 541 00:45:10.119 --> 00:45:15.039 the worst. Like I thought, that was just very interesting. I'm not 542 00:45:15.159 --> 00:45:20.239 mad at it when I heard I feel what it's saying, man, Jeff, 543 00:45:20.360 --> 00:45:22.880 No, no, I think that's such. I think it's a genuinely 544 00:45:22.920 --> 00:45:27.559 like powerful But I also think it's not about shallow. It's not about the 545 00:45:27.719 --> 00:45:30.880 evil of children. I think it's about the innocence of children, and that 546 00:45:31.000 --> 00:45:37.119 innocence lets them be cruel because they don't know what they're doing. Yeah, 547 00:45:37.280 --> 00:45:40.679 maybe we're just like we're at an imbalance when we're just like me, I'm 548 00:45:40.719 --> 00:45:44.440 like thinking, like, Okay, what age are we talking? Because I 549 00:45:44.480 --> 00:45:49.280 agree that you as a person, I think all humans from the age of 550 00:45:49.360 --> 00:45:53.119 like, I'm gonna go ahead and say ten to twenty three are the worst 551 00:45:53.280 --> 00:45:59.400 people on earth. Like, empirically, I've never met a good seventeen year 552 00:45:59.400 --> 00:46:05.559 old because they're all evil and selfish and shitty. H So that's that's where 553 00:46:05.559 --> 00:46:09.679 I'm coming from. I think a child I was, I was just like 554 00:46:10.800 --> 00:46:15.480 the quiet seventeen year old said, Okay, oh I sucked. I sucked. 555 00:46:15.559 --> 00:46:21.480 If John knows it, I was abhorrent. I just think, like, 556 00:46:22.320 --> 00:46:24.800 you know, that's where I'm coming from. I don't disagree with the 557 00:46:24.880 --> 00:46:29.360 spirit of the statement. I laughed because I think it is just like a 558 00:46:29.400 --> 00:46:32.920 funny sentence on its face of like, because as you know, all toddlers 559 00:46:32.960 --> 00:46:37.519 are serial killers that can't lift a gun because it's too heavy. That is 560 00:46:37.559 --> 00:46:43.840 what he said. All right, then we have it. Jack back laws 561 00:46:43.920 --> 00:46:46.679 suck the fun out of another anime moment. No come, you know, 562 00:46:47.119 --> 00:46:50.079 at the end of it, it really is more like a six out of 563 00:46:50.079 --> 00:46:52.800 ten, isn't it. No, it's a it's a fucking banger. It's 564 00:46:52.960 --> 00:46:58.639 five out of five, a plus plus. And I love the fact that 565 00:46:58.679 --> 00:47:02.400 they just fucking kill this guy with a big old like parade, like what 566 00:47:04.440 --> 00:47:07.760 get ahead of the gun here the cane gun. Spike swims the shore where 567 00:47:07.800 --> 00:47:10.840 he's a great whare. He's greeted by Tongpoo is like his showtime, and 568 00:47:10.880 --> 00:47:16.719 shoots him with rockets. Spike escapes when a couple of rockets strike near Tompoo, 569 00:47:16.840 --> 00:47:20.480 and that is kind of the sign that phase arrived in the Redtail, 570 00:47:20.920 --> 00:47:22.440 and Spike's like, oh god, damn it. Now I've got a fade 571 00:47:22.599 --> 00:47:28.400 randomly shooting in my direction as well. Tong Poo is dodging and like he 572 00:47:28.400 --> 00:47:31.719 shoots the ship down. The explosion sends a Spike crashing into like a gift 573 00:47:31.719 --> 00:47:37.199 shop, but Fey lands pretty safely, but it's knocked out Tong Pu. 574 00:47:37.440 --> 00:47:40.960 Tong Poo approaches Spike and tells him to prepare to die, and then a 575 00:47:42.039 --> 00:47:45.960 toy cat falls from a shelf and starts meowing, and once again a cat 576 00:47:45.280 --> 00:47:50.480 freaks out Tong Poo. He shoots it to pieces, but a Spike again 577 00:47:50.679 --> 00:47:54.880 escapes and fires at Tong Poo, but Tong Poo is like a sharp shooter 578 00:47:54.960 --> 00:47:59.480 and just shoots the gun out of his hand, and at moment we have 579 00:47:59.559 --> 00:48:04.719 that same moment again where their Spike is staring at Tong Poo. Tong Poo's 580 00:48:05.280 --> 00:48:08.320 his gone prime to kill Spike, Spike is reaching behind his belt to grab 581 00:48:08.400 --> 00:48:15.039 a knife, and in between them, the parade is slowly approaching. As 582 00:48:15.079 --> 00:48:19.760 the parade is approaching, a light from the kind of like fair ground area 583 00:48:19.880 --> 00:48:24.480 or even the parade itself flashes and it hits Spike's eye in a way that 584 00:48:24.559 --> 00:48:29.519 it like lights one up so the other one is dark, and it causes 585 00:48:29.559 --> 00:48:31.599 Tong Poo to remember the eyes of the cat in the lab that was watching 586 00:48:31.679 --> 00:48:37.239 him being experimented on. Oh I never picked that up. Yes, that's 587 00:48:37.239 --> 00:48:40.360 why it seems to happen. Oh yeah, that's really interesting. It's crazy. 588 00:48:40.599 --> 00:48:45.199 It's just yeah, I'm sorry. I just really love that. I 589 00:48:45.239 --> 00:48:49.599 thought, like they just they they did everything so quickly too, like do 590 00:48:49.639 --> 00:48:52.599 you know what I mean? And I think that is very impressive. Yeah, 591 00:48:52.599 --> 00:48:55.159 it's a really cool moment, and it causes him to like freak out 592 00:48:55.679 --> 00:49:00.360 just long enough for Spike to quickly grab the knife, throw it and dive. 593 00:49:00.960 --> 00:49:04.199 Tong Poo is shooting at the same time, and it hits Spike, 594 00:49:04.280 --> 00:49:06.320 so he gets a bullet in the leg. I think, oh no, 595 00:49:06.400 --> 00:49:09.239 he gets hit in the chest, whereas the knife hits Tong Pou in the 596 00:49:09.320 --> 00:49:15.280 leg. It's not a serious injury at all. But that's the moment where 597 00:49:15.320 --> 00:49:17.880 you realize, oh, he really is just a child. He like takes 598 00:49:17.880 --> 00:49:22.159 a small hit, falls over and just starts crying and calling for his mum. 599 00:49:23.320 --> 00:49:29.079 It's really pathetic in a way that makes me feel for the character a 600 00:49:29.119 --> 00:49:32.360 little bit. I think at that moment it kind of pays off the flashback 601 00:49:32.440 --> 00:49:37.679 where you're you know, constantly looking down on him and he's sympathetic, and 602 00:49:37.719 --> 00:49:39.639 you realize, oh shit, this is this is evoking that again to be 603 00:49:39.719 --> 00:49:44.159 like this sucks, man, I don't this is something that happened against his 604 00:49:44.199 --> 00:49:47.400 will and now he's gonna pay the price for it and traumatized by cats. 605 00:49:47.400 --> 00:49:52.599 Who can't relate with that. Shut up, Well all of us can't relate 606 00:49:52.639 --> 00:49:57.800 with that. What are you talking about here? I'm saying, if you 607 00:49:57.800 --> 00:50:00.800 were as allergic as I am, you'd sympathetze. Now you're allergic to cats, 608 00:50:00.880 --> 00:50:07.599 Jeff? Oh fuck? Hang on? Do you mean like emotionally allergic? 609 00:50:07.679 --> 00:50:13.239 Jeff? Both everything? Uh, it just makes they make Yeah, 610 00:50:13.400 --> 00:50:17.320 I sneeze a lot around them and therefore hate them. I thought this was 611 00:50:17.400 --> 00:50:22.559 like an intellectual thing. No, it's that too. It's it's everything. 612 00:50:22.719 --> 00:50:27.119 The allergies are just the icing on the cake. Does not add up to 613 00:50:27.199 --> 00:50:30.840 me. I feel like I feel like I feel like cats make you sneeze, 614 00:50:30.840 --> 00:50:32.320 so you can't get close to them, and so you see their rad 615 00:50:32.719 --> 00:50:36.559 you see how cool they are, and now you're just like, Okay, 616 00:50:36.559 --> 00:50:39.639 I'm gonna pretend not to like them. Yeah, I'm just saying. A 617 00:50:39.760 --> 00:50:46.239 Giant Bomb's Game of the Year, someone brought their pet dog who was friendly, 618 00:50:46.599 --> 00:50:52.360 loving and just an all around team member. Not sure you could bring 619 00:50:52.400 --> 00:50:55.599 a cat. Cat would stay in a corner and fall asleep immediately and would 620 00:50:55.679 --> 00:51:00.400 just chill. But you know the dog was helping, Like the dog made 621 00:51:00.400 --> 00:51:06.000 the show better. Okay, okay, okay, all right, No, 622 00:51:06.079 --> 00:51:08.800 look you're your silence proves my point. Now we're just letting you talk yourself 623 00:51:08.800 --> 00:51:14.159 into you just never forget. You just make tired Jeff. As always, 624 00:51:14.920 --> 00:51:17.840 that was the worst thing anyone's ever said to me. Wait what did you 625 00:51:17.840 --> 00:51:22.719 say? John? That was the worst? You just make me tired, 626 00:51:22.840 --> 00:51:30.239 Jeff? Like I could not especially coming from you. It's just like John, 627 00:51:30.239 --> 00:51:34.039 he likes you the most. Okay, so you say that to him? 628 00:51:34.159 --> 00:51:37.960 Is that one's stung? How am I going to earn back his respect? 629 00:51:38.400 --> 00:51:40.880 All right? Sorry? Next episode will try. As tong Poo is 630 00:51:40.960 --> 00:51:45.840 lying on the ground calling for his mom, the parade approaches and one of 631 00:51:45.880 --> 00:51:52.800 the bigger animals in the parade steps on tongue Pou, killing him. Jet 632 00:51:52.840 --> 00:51:57.320 calls Spike at that moment. He's like, Jet, we figured out what 633 00:51:57.400 --> 00:52:00.079 this guy is. And Spike's like, I don't need to know. I 634 00:52:00.079 --> 00:52:04.719 don't need the information anymore, and then he's like, I hate I don't 635 00:52:04.719 --> 00:52:12.239 need to know. A big old boos like a dog stepped on story tall 636 00:52:12.360 --> 00:52:16.239 dog stepped on him. Yeah, he's which is? Which is? Crazy 637 00:52:16.280 --> 00:52:22.880 that, like, that's the kind of parade at Spaceland, right, Like 638 00:52:22.719 --> 00:52:25.599 it's possible you just get in the way of that parade and get flatted to 639 00:52:25.679 --> 00:52:29.360 death. Don't don't get in the way. I guess. So. I 640 00:52:30.199 --> 00:52:31.880 feel like if you got in the way of any parade at Disneyland, you'll 641 00:52:31.880 --> 00:52:36.559 probably get hurt pretty bad. Yeah, I guess you're right. You don't 642 00:52:36.559 --> 00:52:37.280 think they would stop. You don't think they would be like, oh, 643 00:52:37.320 --> 00:52:40.159 there's there's like a penguin on the ground that. I don't think they cook 644 00:52:40.159 --> 00:52:43.320 around and Disney. I think they're like, you knew what you were getting 645 00:52:43.360 --> 00:52:49.719 into. Motherfucker, you crossed the barrier. Next thing, Pluto's fucking boot 646 00:52:49.840 --> 00:52:53.719 is going up your ass. Wow, Okay, and then you die. 647 00:52:53.920 --> 00:53:00.320 Yeah, I'm sorry, Goofy's boot. Pluto doesn't wear boots. No, 648 00:53:00.519 --> 00:53:02.039 Yeah, come on, let's let's get it right here. I suspended my 649 00:53:02.079 --> 00:53:15.440 disbelief for that. Don't worry about The next episode is Bogi feng Shui, 650 00:53:15.599 --> 00:53:22.599 which I didn't hate. This didn't like we have spent an hour talking about 651 00:53:22.599 --> 00:53:27.840 what episodes, so we should you know, Look, I think this episode 652 00:53:28.000 --> 00:53:30.880 is like most I don't know. I thought that like Sun Dial thing was 653 00:53:30.960 --> 00:53:37.480 kind of cool. But yeah, okay, blas, Okay, I have 654 00:53:37.519 --> 00:53:40.840 one thing to say. It's this episode. I feel like this episode is 655 00:53:40.840 --> 00:53:45.920 probably my least favorite episode in the entire show yep, and I think that 656 00:53:46.199 --> 00:53:50.000 it would be more. I don't think it's bad, Like there's not there 657 00:53:50.039 --> 00:53:52.320 are no bad episodes of Caboy beab Up. I think this is just this 658 00:53:52.360 --> 00:53:57.199 is the bottom of the weeks, and to me, a part of it 659 00:53:57.239 --> 00:54:02.039 is it's because it comes way too late in the series. I feel like 660 00:54:02.159 --> 00:54:06.920 for Jet. Yeah, because because it's like, if you think of Jets 661 00:54:06.960 --> 00:54:09.320 two other episodes, the one with with his ex and then the one with 662 00:54:09.360 --> 00:54:15.519 his ex partner, and on both those we learned things about Jet, like 663 00:54:15.599 --> 00:54:19.280 on a really like deep emotional level, about who the guy is and how 664 00:54:19.280 --> 00:54:23.199 he ticks. And this is just him kind of pissing around with a teenage 665 00:54:23.199 --> 00:54:27.800 girl or something. Yeah, yeah, that's the part of it. I 666 00:54:27.880 --> 00:54:30.239 also don't I didn't like, I didn't like any of that, Like, 667 00:54:30.440 --> 00:54:34.599 no, really, we're not digging into the age and love thing like so 668 00:54:34.840 --> 00:54:37.840 much, where I was just like, all right, maybe once I could 669 00:54:37.920 --> 00:54:40.360 like look the other way at your twenty five year old joke, but then 670 00:54:42.079 --> 00:54:45.039 I don't know. I'm with you. That part was strange. They didn't 671 00:54:45.039 --> 00:54:49.719 need to make a meal out of that, and they did up Agains on 672 00:54:49.760 --> 00:54:53.239 Mars, where Jet is trying to track down an old acquaintance called Poo poos 673 00:54:53.400 --> 00:55:00.760 poosy Poose. I can't remember how who had sent him a message that said 674 00:55:01.199 --> 00:55:07.360 seek the Holy Beast of anzan i Am where the four gods meet. Power 675 00:55:07.400 --> 00:55:10.039 has this reputation for being one of the greatest feng shuai masters on Mars, 676 00:55:10.119 --> 00:55:14.599 so he was like, oh, go check all this shit out. Jet 677 00:55:14.679 --> 00:55:17.599 search, however, reveals that Power is dead. He finds his tombstone instead 678 00:55:17.960 --> 00:55:23.239 and Israel and he had died that year. As Jet is pondering who could 679 00:55:23.239 --> 00:55:29.519 have sent that message of Poo's dead, he suddenly appears. Suddenly a woman 680 00:55:29.559 --> 00:55:35.440 appears, and her name is Pau Mefa, who is the daughter of Poo, 681 00:55:35.880 --> 00:55:38.920 except he doesn't really know that right now. She kind of dives saves 682 00:55:39.000 --> 00:55:43.400 him and uh, and these two assassins are trying to kill them both. 683 00:55:45.719 --> 00:55:49.639 He gets his gun ready, but she looks down at this device she's got 684 00:55:49.639 --> 00:55:52.719 in her hand, and then she's like, I figured out an escape route 685 00:55:52.719 --> 00:55:54.320 and they get to go and they jump on like a nearby bus and then 686 00:55:54.360 --> 00:56:00.199 into the canal and then they're off. Jet takes me for a boar or 687 00:56:00.360 --> 00:56:02.440 the cowboy bebup the bebup, Sorry, not the cowboy people. Well, 688 00:56:02.480 --> 00:56:07.639 he explains that Meifa to Mayfa that like he hadn't heard from Power in ten 689 00:56:07.719 --> 00:56:12.039 years, and that Power had uh. Mayfa says that he died in a 690 00:56:12.119 --> 00:56:19.760 transport accident on the way to Jupiter because of a hyperspace fluctuation, and then 691 00:56:19.800 --> 00:56:24.079 she's asking like, how do you know uh uh pow, and he's like, 692 00:56:24.119 --> 00:56:27.199 oh, you know, he sent me this message and also reveals like, 693 00:56:27.199 --> 00:56:30.119 you know, I was I came and met you one time when you 694 00:56:30.159 --> 00:56:34.800 were a little girl. And so she's like, can you help me find 695 00:56:34.840 --> 00:56:38.599 my dad? I think he might still be alive, And she says that 696 00:56:38.719 --> 00:56:45.880 jets Arrival is kind of perfect Feng Shwei so and and that the disappearance of 697 00:56:45.880 --> 00:56:49.599 her dad has something to do with the Sunstone. By the time this is 698 00:56:49.639 --> 00:56:52.000 all laid out, even the first time I watched it, I was like, 699 00:56:52.599 --> 00:56:53.280 I don't care about any of this. This is going to be a 700 00:56:53.559 --> 00:56:55.880 yeah, and you know, whenever I'm doing a rewatched Bebop. I get 701 00:56:55.920 --> 00:57:00.639 to this episode and I'm like, let's give it. Oh really, it's 702 00:57:00.719 --> 00:57:06.599 like that. It's not that I hate it or anything. I just I 703 00:57:06.719 --> 00:57:08.920 just don't think there's a lot of meat on these bones, you know. 704 00:57:10.519 --> 00:57:15.400 You know, I feel like I noticed something new about that episode every time 705 00:57:15.440 --> 00:57:19.920 I watch it. With this episode, I'm like, did you say he 706 00:57:20.039 --> 00:57:22.639 kills a man to more? No, actually, that kills the momentum. 707 00:57:22.840 --> 00:57:28.480 Yeah, they killed the man, and he killed a man's momentum. Jet 708 00:57:28.880 --> 00:57:34.119 kills a dude in this episode, like yeah, yeah, really, and 709 00:57:34.159 --> 00:57:37.800 then leaves his dead body in the street and they both just walk away. 710 00:57:38.320 --> 00:57:42.480 Doesn't she take like something off of him? No, that was like a 711 00:57:42.599 --> 00:57:44.760 kid comes up and does it. Oh okay, yeah, just kids, 712 00:57:44.800 --> 00:57:47.119 Like I'll take these. See all kids are evil, my bad? See 713 00:57:49.840 --> 00:57:54.719 its true? I stand corrected. Uh yeah, so that happens, and 714 00:57:54.760 --> 00:58:00.280 then Jets like, meanwhile, the others are like trying to They seem to 715 00:58:00.280 --> 00:58:07.440 insinuate that they might be like a couple or something like that, and Jess 716 00:58:07.480 --> 00:58:10.239 interested her, which is not great. She's clear. He says something like 717 00:58:10.400 --> 00:58:16.519 I'm old enough to be your dad. Gorge. He does he does kind 718 00:58:16.519 --> 00:58:25.639 of a bit of that coming again. Look, sometimes my impressions are a 719 00:58:25.679 --> 00:58:32.320 bit of a caricature, right the impression last week, by god, what 720 00:58:34.280 --> 00:58:37.880 impression did they not play because of that? Who is he doing an impression 721 00:58:37.920 --> 00:58:43.920 of Was it me? Again? No? Yours? Is? He didn't 722 00:58:43.920 --> 00:58:46.039 do an impression of you? And people told me it's good. People like 723 00:58:46.079 --> 00:58:52.559 it, just saying to you that maybe I made it up. So people 724 00:58:52.000 --> 00:59:01.360 people are telling me that my impression. Everybody is saying, you can't even 725 00:59:01.440 --> 00:59:06.039 pretend to be mad, that I'm mad. I'm not mad, I'm never 726 00:59:06.079 --> 00:59:12.199 mad, I'm never met Uh yeah, Jet was He was like, Ohm, 727 00:59:12.840 --> 00:59:15.079 you're how old? Again? Well shit, I could be your boyfriend, 728 00:59:15.199 --> 00:59:22.199 I mean older brother. That's later on and it's like enough enough, 729 00:59:22.360 --> 00:59:27.639 Jet enough. Like in this moment, Ed comes out and is like are 730 00:59:27.679 --> 00:59:34.880 you his girlfriend? And Jet is embarrassed, and it's like fucking hem so 731 00:59:35.360 --> 00:59:37.400 uh. I think they're trying to do like an age thing, but it 732 00:59:37.480 --> 00:59:42.440 comes off really poorly where they're trying to be like, oh, he's off 733 00:59:42.480 --> 00:59:45.159 that being told that he's trying to act like he's young and you know, 734 00:59:45.320 --> 00:59:47.760 still with it, but it's just fucking like Adam is always a bit weird 735 00:59:47.760 --> 00:59:51.719 with this stuff, but I think there was This was definitely from an era 736 00:59:51.960 --> 00:59:57.840 where that kind of thing was seen as more cutesy than it is now, 737 00:59:58.000 --> 01:00:00.840 and I think that's what they were going for. I don't know, doesn't 738 01:00:01.440 --> 01:00:05.320 doesn't do a whole up now, it just doesn't work. Top the bottom, 739 01:00:06.760 --> 01:00:10.159 Ja agrees to help Meifa search the city for clues for power to find 740 01:00:10.199 --> 01:00:15.679 power, and then Mayfha's teaching him feng Shui and the Three Cheese, the 741 01:00:15.800 --> 01:00:20.119 chi of Heaven which comes from the sun, chi of Earth, which comes 742 01:00:20.119 --> 01:00:22.559 from the planet and the people that live on it, and the magnetic chi 743 01:00:22.679 --> 01:00:27.519 that comes from living organisms. I think, and then part of my dislike 744 01:00:27.559 --> 01:00:34.480 of this episode is I also hate this ship. Yeah, I just look, 745 01:00:36.039 --> 01:00:43.599 I think it's cool when people believe what they want to believe, for 746 01:00:44.280 --> 01:00:49.679 at some point when we start talking about magnetic fields and how you can improve 747 01:00:49.719 --> 01:00:54.840 your life, but just like I just can't. Yeah. Also like it 748 01:00:54.840 --> 01:01:00.119 feels very like unexplored in this episode, like, oh, is there anything 749 01:01:00.159 --> 01:01:04.599 more than it feels like they came up with a conceit to help them run 750 01:01:04.639 --> 01:01:07.800 in different directions, and I don't really like it. Well, I was 751 01:01:07.880 --> 01:01:15.880 just curious. I like didn't know where everyone stood on you know, funk 752 01:01:15.880 --> 01:01:20.679 shue and stuff like that, like like who tells you where to put your 753 01:01:20.840 --> 01:01:22.639 beds and stuff? Dude? I was That was the one. I was 754 01:01:22.760 --> 01:01:27.360 just about to say. There's a guy on TikTok where people post videos of 755 01:01:27.400 --> 01:01:31.800 their room layouts and then he draws a little picture and he three D prints 756 01:01:32.000 --> 01:01:36.960 or furniture and he made he does the room set up for you and it's 757 01:01:37.000 --> 01:01:40.840 kind of it's fun sh as opposed to interior design. Yes, yes, 758 01:01:42.239 --> 01:01:45.480 because like you can't have you know, he always talks about the energy and 759 01:01:45.519 --> 01:01:49.840 the flow of stuff in the room. He goes from funk shway Yeah. 760 01:01:49.920 --> 01:01:53.320 Yeah, So it's it's a sttle bit. It's ikea astrology is what it 761 01:01:53.360 --> 01:01:58.559 is. It's but also is like it is kind of you could strip out 762 01:01:58.559 --> 01:02:00.360 the func shuey part of it and be like that makes sense from an interior 763 01:02:00.400 --> 01:02:05.440 design perspective, like don't put this hair because your back's against you know, 764 01:02:05.599 --> 01:02:07.920 the wall, and that's weird and don't you know, alignment of this TV 765 01:02:08.039 --> 01:02:13.280 could be fucking up everything? Okay, cool. My favorite is when people 766 01:02:13.320 --> 01:02:16.440 ask for his advice and then he makes the video and then people actually do 767 01:02:16.519 --> 01:02:20.920 it and you just see how much better it is. Yeah, so good. 768 01:02:20.960 --> 01:02:24.840 That's good for him. So functuey is the science of studying these cheese 769 01:02:24.880 --> 01:02:30.599 and how they interact with one another. And Mayfa says that a functuary master 770 01:02:30.719 --> 01:02:36.760 like her dad can use this understanding of the chi to change their destiny, 771 01:02:36.960 --> 01:02:40.519 which is the way well. After searching the city, Mefa leads them to 772 01:02:40.599 --> 01:02:45.360 this building, the Mountain Hotel, which she believes is the Anson from her 773 01:02:45.400 --> 01:02:50.320 father's note. At the top of the hotel, she points out like a 774 01:02:50.360 --> 01:02:54.440 bunch of different buildings that are representatives representations of the Blue Dragon, the White 775 01:02:54.440 --> 01:02:58.880 Tiger, and the snake and the tortoise, as well as the Red Phoenix, 776 01:02:58.880 --> 01:03:02.159 which are the four gods from her father's note. She uses this device 777 01:03:02.199 --> 01:03:08.920 which she calls a loopan It's kind of like a feng shuway detector or a 778 01:03:08.920 --> 01:03:15.039 compass, and she uses that to confirm that the representative the four gods are 779 01:03:15.079 --> 01:03:21.039 in alignment with where they are on top of the Anzan Jet. Then she 780 01:03:21.039 --> 01:03:24.000 didn't tells Jet that her father's note is pointing them in a direction of the 781 01:03:24.079 --> 01:03:29.559 Sunstone. They leave the hotel and use the loop and to locate the Sunstone, 782 01:03:29.559 --> 01:03:30.840 which is hidden in the mouth of a statue at the base of the 783 01:03:30.880 --> 01:03:35.320 hotel. Again, this is just like all just make it up as you 784 01:03:35.360 --> 01:03:37.760 go along shit, and just don't do anything that breaks that can continuity, 785 01:03:37.840 --> 01:03:42.679 which is like it's a boring process to watch. Yeah, you know, 786 01:03:42.760 --> 01:03:45.679 I was going into this episode hope and like, maybe it'll win me over 787 01:03:45.760 --> 01:03:47.079 this time because it's been a couple of years since I watched it. Maybe 788 01:03:47.119 --> 01:03:53.280 I'll see a shot yeah, and it's just like chain, yeah, yeah, 789 01:03:53.519 --> 01:03:57.679 Jet is jet is, Like what's going on? What's happening? What 790 01:03:57.719 --> 01:04:00.960 are we doing? You know, I'll be honestn't think you all would have 791 01:04:00.079 --> 01:04:03.360 this kind of reaction to this episode. I will admit, like I thought 792 01:04:03.360 --> 01:04:08.000 it was fine, Like I don't hate Yeah, it's I'm only saying this 793 01:04:08.119 --> 01:04:12.920 in comparison episodes. Yeah, it was such. It was such a distinct, 794 01:04:12.920 --> 01:04:16.599 polarizing tandem, right, I get it, even like the other Bottle 795 01:04:16.639 --> 01:04:19.599 episodes as Lucy called them earlier, that you know, in comparison to like 796 01:04:19.599 --> 01:04:24.000 the Bottle Star stuff, Like even the others are interesting in some way. 797 01:04:24.079 --> 01:04:27.360 I just find this one completely uninteresting other than to be like Jet had a 798 01:04:27.400 --> 01:04:30.800 friend once and yeah, no, I thought I think the sun dial thing 799 01:04:30.880 --> 01:04:32.440 was kind of cool. I thought that was fine. When like the moon 800 01:04:32.559 --> 01:04:35.519 rock they yeah, I was like, okay, that's all right, And 801 01:04:35.559 --> 01:04:39.880 then like the temporary portal thing I thought was interesting. Yeah, I'm cool. 802 01:04:39.960 --> 01:04:45.760 That's the one moment where yeah. So then what happens is Jet is 803 01:04:45.800 --> 01:04:49.360 like, all right, whatever this is makes sense, I'll just run with 804 01:04:49.400 --> 01:04:55.039 it. And then the two assassins he notices them, uh, and then 805 01:04:55.360 --> 01:04:58.280 goes into a bar, and this is the one cool bit for for Jet. 806 01:04:58.320 --> 01:05:00.760 He orders a bottle a drink and says he wants the bottle but no 807 01:05:00.920 --> 01:05:06.599 glass. This pictures so fucking cool, and it's a callback to the last 808 01:05:06.599 --> 01:05:10.239 time he's shown in a bar where he beats a bunch of people over the 809 01:05:10.280 --> 01:05:13.800 head with a bottle. So this is his weapon of choice in a bar. 810 01:05:13.920 --> 01:05:16.599 When he gets he has done this enough that he has established the bottle 811 01:05:16.719 --> 01:05:21.800 with the perfect amount of density. Yeah, people to knock people out, 812 01:05:21.920 --> 01:05:26.840 not kill them, which is a nice moment. It's the most meaningful Jet 813 01:05:27.039 --> 01:05:32.599 like character progression in the entire episode. So Jet ambushes them and knocks them 814 01:05:32.599 --> 01:05:36.559 out, and then they confirmed that their agents of the Blue Snake crime Syndicate, 815 01:05:38.119 --> 01:05:43.320 who were just following Powell before he disappeared, and they're following MafA instead 816 01:05:43.400 --> 01:05:47.039 now and they're hoping that she would lead them to her dad, but they 817 01:05:47.079 --> 01:05:54.400 have no information on what the Blue Snake wants with Powell. The jet and 818 01:05:54.440 --> 01:05:57.679 Mayfa returned to the Bebop to look at the stone and it reveals us a 819 01:05:57.719 --> 01:06:01.320 piece of the Moon which was destroyed in the ass Through Gate accident years before. 820 01:06:01.960 --> 01:06:06.480 Mayfa says that the accident caused space time fluctuations to be absorbed into the 821 01:06:06.480 --> 01:06:11.280 debris from the accident, and these stones have like a crazy amount of power 822 01:06:11.320 --> 01:06:14.960 inside of them which can be amplified by the sun, which is why they're 823 01:06:14.960 --> 01:06:18.920 called sunstones. Name, yeah, that's cool. J asks Mayfa what the 824 01:06:18.920 --> 01:06:21.880 purpose of the sunstones is and she's like, I don't know. I don't 825 01:06:21.880 --> 01:06:25.800 know what my dad was going to do with it. Then Iron grabs the 826 01:06:25.800 --> 01:06:31.199 Sunstone and brings it over to the loopan, which then begins to spin even 827 01:06:31.239 --> 01:06:38.079 though the magnet has been removed. Mayfa realizes that the sunstone has a twin, 828 01:06:38.559 --> 01:06:41.880 which is with her dad, So her dad has the other part of 829 01:06:41.920 --> 01:06:45.480 this stone, and she realizes that if Je replaces it, how did they 830 01:06:45.519 --> 01:06:48.079 realize that? I forget? She just kind of says that she's like, 831 01:06:48.599 --> 01:06:53.039 my gut tells me my dad's got the other part of this. Yeah, 832 01:06:53.039 --> 01:06:56.159 that's another point in this episode where I was like, we're just We're just 833 01:06:56.239 --> 01:07:00.360 kind of like, there's another moment that I'm very confused about. But yeah, 834 01:07:00.400 --> 01:07:04.760 this is what it's like, wishy washy bullshit. She tells Jet that 835 01:07:04.880 --> 01:07:09.599 if he she replaces the Lupin's magnet with the sunstone, it should lead them 836 01:07:09.599 --> 01:07:13.239 to the to her dad. But they do that. They follow the coordinates 837 01:07:13.800 --> 01:07:17.440 leave Mars, and during the journey, may For reveals to Jet that she 838 01:07:17.599 --> 01:07:21.760 wasn't really close to her dad and she's a bit upset that. Oh, 839 01:07:21.800 --> 01:07:28.760 she's sad that Powell contacted Jet instead of her, And then she reveals that 840 01:07:28.840 --> 01:07:33.000 Powell believed in pretty much in function only and that was to the neglect of 841 01:07:33.079 --> 01:07:38.599 his wife and his kid, and she was like, she and her mom 842 01:07:38.719 --> 01:07:44.599 left and she's not seen him in years since. She also like she's asking 843 01:07:45.000 --> 01:07:50.000 out loud why Powell never tried to track her down and because they weren't really 844 01:07:50.039 --> 01:07:55.079 trying to hide from him, and then Jet does the nice guy thing where 845 01:07:55.079 --> 01:07:58.880 it's like Powell probably had a good reason, but she's not having it, 846 01:08:00.159 --> 01:08:02.119 and she's like, I know you know something about my dad that you're not 847 01:08:02.119 --> 01:08:05.760 telling me Jet, and then he reveals that Powell was a consultant for the 848 01:08:05.800 --> 01:08:11.039 Blue Snake Syndicate and leads some information to Jet when he was a detective with 849 01:08:11.079 --> 01:08:15.880 the ISSP and Powell helped Jet in the hopes that he would return the favor 850 01:08:15.960 --> 01:08:19.439 and help him escape from the syndicate's control, and Jet tried, but Power 851 01:08:19.479 --> 01:08:24.279 knew so much about the syndicates inner workings that escape was pretty much impossible, 852 01:08:25.000 --> 01:08:28.960 and so he kind of theorizes that Powell was worried that Mayfair might be hurt 853 01:08:28.960 --> 01:08:30.880 by the Syndicate if you resume contact with her. So he just goes on 854 01:08:30.920 --> 01:08:36.560 the run. This is the point in the episode where I zoned out by 855 01:08:36.560 --> 01:08:42.600 the way, Yeah, yeah, it's not great. After entering the astral 856 01:08:42.640 --> 01:08:47.640 gate near Mars into hyperspace, the Loupan kind of centers itself and then it 857 01:08:47.680 --> 01:08:53.399 appears that Powell is somewhere in the hyper space stream with them, but the 858 01:08:53.479 --> 01:08:57.439 radar doesn't show anyone there, so they carry on searching. But a ship 859 01:08:57.640 --> 01:09:00.920 shows up and it's an attack ship sent by the Blue Snake, spikes in 860 01:09:00.920 --> 01:09:04.520 the Swordfish too and phasing the Red Tail, and they engage the Sindericut craft, 861 01:09:04.560 --> 01:09:09.119 which is just like robot ships sent to shoot down the Bebop. This 862 01:09:09.159 --> 01:09:13.000 is another thing where I was like, this is a very coincidental thing to 863 01:09:13.159 --> 01:09:15.439 suddenly have ships of robots instead of like, all of a sudden, I'm 864 01:09:15.479 --> 01:09:19.520 the skeptic. Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, I know. This is 865 01:09:19.760 --> 01:09:24.800 a weird continuity thing. You're like, they're in space, what's going on? 866 01:09:24.920 --> 01:09:27.880 And when when you say all of a sudden, I'm the skeptic, 867 01:09:28.319 --> 01:09:32.479 I think what you mean is after nearly two years of recording podcasts and you 868 01:09:32.600 --> 01:09:43.079 being the skeptic, you were the skeptic exactly. Okay. Jack comes up 869 01:09:43.079 --> 01:09:46.039 with a plan and he's like, if we apply enough energy to the sandstone, 870 01:09:46.079 --> 01:09:49.760 that should be able to draw the forces out trapped inside the edward just 871 01:09:49.800 --> 01:09:55.199 like choves this stone down the toilet. Look that bit's great, that's so 872 01:09:55.359 --> 01:09:58.680 great, funny. Yeah, And then it comes out the other end and 873 01:09:58.720 --> 01:10:01.039 it's like floating in space and and Jet tells a spike to shoot it with 874 01:10:01.079 --> 01:10:06.359 a plasma cannon. It hits the stone and it sends us like electric waves 875 01:10:06.399 --> 01:10:15.000 out out into the space and it kills the robot ships perfectly, and it 876 01:10:15.079 --> 01:10:21.000 also opens a vortex within the hyperspace stream. And as their Mayfa and Jet 877 01:10:21.000 --> 01:10:27.359 look into the vortex, they see a ship on the other side, and 878 01:10:27.399 --> 01:10:30.800 the ship hails the beab up and the pilot is Power. Jet tells Power 879 01:10:30.800 --> 01:10:33.439 that he's in an unstable force field and they need to get him out. 880 01:10:33.720 --> 01:10:38.119 But Pal's like, I'm not leaving this place. It's impossible, and I'm 881 01:10:38.199 --> 01:10:42.600 running out of oxygen. It's almost gone. So he says that he sent 882 01:10:42.600 --> 01:10:45.119 the message to Jet so he could reunite with his daughter. Actually he could 883 01:10:45.119 --> 01:10:49.840 be renated with his daughter. And his implication is like I knew that you 884 01:10:49.840 --> 01:10:55.000 would find her and then bring her hair. He tries to talk with Mayfa, 885 01:10:55.039 --> 01:10:59.039 but she's like, I hated you and you manipulate us into coming. 886 01:11:00.359 --> 01:11:03.359 Jet tells Power that Mafo didn't come on account of feng shui. She can't 887 01:11:03.359 --> 01:11:08.479 be because of her own free will, and then Powe was like, all 888 01:11:08.600 --> 01:11:12.439 right, man, I'm sorry, and Mayfa was like, I hate you 889 01:11:12.479 --> 01:11:15.279 for a really long time, but I can't really hate you now, and 890 01:11:15.319 --> 01:11:18.640 he's like, thank you, and then he just dies and then just go 891 01:11:18.800 --> 01:11:26.640 bye into static yet a little bit. And then Jack concludes the episode by 892 01:11:26.720 --> 01:11:31.640 telling everyone that Mayfa returns to Mars and that everything turned to normal and he 893 01:11:31.760 --> 01:11:35.359 has no interest in horoscopes anymore. He's like, and that's the end of 894 01:11:35.359 --> 01:11:42.399 the story. Like all good stories, someone has to tell you it's over. 895 01:11:43.000 --> 01:11:46.319 Yeah, it's jo. Yeah. It was really weird that they showed 896 01:11:46.319 --> 01:11:48.720 the girl and the girl's just like, yeah, life's great. Now. 897 01:11:48.880 --> 01:11:55.560 I got weird, horrific closure with my father and I just you know, 898 01:11:55.760 --> 01:12:00.800 visit his bullet rooting tombstone. Now, closure is closure, all right? 899 01:12:01.279 --> 01:12:04.840 Jeff, you seem like I guess more high on this episode than the rest 900 01:12:04.840 --> 01:12:11.920 of us. I'm not high on it by any stretch. I'm just I'm 901 01:12:12.000 --> 01:12:16.680 maybe more forgiving as all. I like, this is not when I think 902 01:12:16.680 --> 01:12:20.640 of Cowboy Bebop. From here on out, I will not be thinking of 903 01:12:20.680 --> 01:12:26.880 this episode. I agree, it is the weakest amongst the ones we have 904 01:12:27.079 --> 01:12:30.279 screened so far, and I would not be surprised to say the same thing 905 01:12:30.319 --> 01:12:35.439 once we're done with the entire series. I think some cool things happened in 906 01:12:35.520 --> 01:12:42.279 it, and I still think we should shout out cool things. But Functu 907 01:12:42.520 --> 01:12:47.359 is a decidedly not cool thing, and having that be the cornerstone plot device 908 01:12:47.439 --> 01:12:53.279 of your episode, I cannot give it a ringing endorsement. Yeah, I 909 01:12:53.319 --> 01:12:58.039 would stress Again, I don't think it's like like I wasn't bored watching it. 910 01:12:58.039 --> 01:13:01.119 It's just I think, if you're coming to Kewboy Bebop, it has 911 01:13:01.279 --> 01:13:05.119 so many better hits than this episode. Sure, sure. Yeah. I 912 01:13:05.159 --> 01:13:11.439 also feel like conceptually it's more interesting than the execution. I like the idea 913 01:13:11.560 --> 01:13:15.399 of taking something like, you know, an energy based kind of system like 914 01:13:15.479 --> 01:13:20.039 func Shue and Try which just sit into a lot of like kwboy stuff, 915 01:13:20.159 --> 01:13:24.600 Yeah yeah, and trying to use that as a way to tell the story 916 01:13:24.680 --> 01:13:28.840 about destiny and how you can take control of it yourself. And there was 917 01:13:28.920 --> 01:13:32.760 also like, you know, that kind of functuy style thing where Spike seems 918 01:13:32.800 --> 01:13:36.640 like the character who would be better attached to it than Jet if you know 919 01:13:36.680 --> 01:13:41.159 what I mean. We should we see him like trying to find internal peace 920 01:13:41.199 --> 01:13:45.159 a bunch of times onlike the the deck of the Bebop where he's like just 921 01:13:45.600 --> 01:13:48.359 you know, practicing his cut or whatever it may be. But like Jet 922 01:13:48.399 --> 01:13:53.840 feels like the wrong character for this to be done with, even though it 923 01:13:53.960 --> 01:13:57.199 is like based on his backstory. If you know what, the fung shui 924 01:13:57.279 --> 01:14:01.680 stuff is kind of interesting because have any have you seen Outlaws Star? No? 925 01:14:01.680 --> 01:14:08.279 No, no, So outlasst Star is like a hornier Cowboy Bebop for 926 01:14:08.359 --> 01:14:14.800 Team Hornier. Yes, okay, Jeff got activated. Yeah, but it 927 01:14:14.840 --> 01:14:16.279 can't be as cool, right, It's not as cool. It's not as 928 01:14:16.319 --> 01:14:19.119 cool, it's not as cool, it's not as good, but it's still 929 01:14:19.159 --> 01:14:25.600 great. I love it. It's it's cool. But the entire like magic 930 01:14:25.720 --> 01:14:30.720 system in Outlast Star is like based on kind of sort of Chinese ancient magic 931 01:14:30.760 --> 01:14:33.840 and like a lot of fung Shui stuff, and it's really like some of 932 01:14:33.840 --> 01:14:40.159 the designs in it are so fucking cool and it's they pushed that idea a 933 01:14:40.199 --> 01:14:43.079 lot further and it's not a lot of ways I'd say out Lost Star is 934 01:14:43.119 --> 01:14:45.800 better than Cowboy Bebop, but I think in how it kind of treats this 935 01:14:45.840 --> 01:14:48.720 stuff as one of them. Also, just say, I am definitely no 936 01:14:48.800 --> 01:14:53.760 expert on any of this stuff and there was a chance that I just completely 937 01:14:53.840 --> 01:14:57.199 mistook it for something else. Well, I guess I think it's we're only 938 01:14:57.239 --> 01:15:00.199 talking about it as a narrative device. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I 939 01:15:00.199 --> 01:15:03.399 guess The Outlaws star of draws a lot on like Taoism and stuff like that 940 01:15:03.479 --> 01:15:08.520 as well, so none of which I am very knowledgeable of it. Yeah, 941 01:15:08.560 --> 01:15:13.279 So I think we had an interesting dichotomy of like the strongest episode, 942 01:15:13.359 --> 01:15:18.119 one of the strongest episodes of of Cowboy Bebop, and also one of the 943 01:15:18.119 --> 01:15:24.399 weakest, which is unfortunate. But overall, I'm glad that we got to 944 01:15:24.600 --> 01:15:28.319 I think we were super positive on the first one, so like, on 945 01:15:28.520 --> 01:15:32.840 balance, we're fine. I mean, I am infinitely more positive on mad 946 01:15:32.880 --> 01:15:39.359 Puro than I am negative about But you will go yes, like oh yeah, 947 01:15:39.479 --> 01:15:43.720 oh yeah, yeah for sure. That brings to close another episode of 948 01:15:44.479 --> 01:15:47.680 Jeff jeff Bizarre Adventure. We are rapidly approaching the end of Cowboy Bebop, 949 01:15:47.720 --> 01:15:55.600 which means we are rapidly start of worry. I'm sure it all ends well 950 01:15:56.239 --> 01:16:00.199 yeah, yeah, fine, I'm getting that vibe. Yeah, John, 951 01:16:00.880 --> 01:16:04.760 were up? People find you what you're up to, you know what. 952 01:16:05.119 --> 01:16:10.199 Keep an eye on the old eyepatches dot com.
