00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:14.560
Hello, and welcome to see you
at the Body RICTA. I am Joseph

2
00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:21.320
bet Castro with me as always is
Chris Chapman, Guden Dog and Aaron Frescas.

3
00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:26.600
Hello. All right, we're multi
language here for this episode. We're

4
00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:30.480
gonna be doing something special in something
we haven't done before, because nothing like

5
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:36.280
this has existed before. We're gonna
be covering Arnold's Netflix show Fubar, but

6
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:41.200
for this episode to be the first
four episodes. So this episode of the

7
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:45.719
podcast me first four episodes of the
show. It's eight episodes long, and

8
00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:48.399
uh yeah, I mean, if
you want to know, it's a twenty

9
00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:54.679
twenty three action comedy vehicle with Arnold. Chris has been kind enough to write

10
00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:58.840
us an outline summary and we're gonna
go over it. So okay, So

11
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:02.520
yeah, before Chris gets in to
the like the summary part of it,

12
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:06.359
I have just got a tiny bit
of quick production in Foe. So.

13
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:11.439
The first episode was directed by Phil
Abraham, but the episode was written by

14
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:17.000
Nick Santorre, who is also credited
as the show's creator. So he also

15
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:21.359
wrote a handful of episodes of the
show prison Break, as well as the

16
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:25.599
two thousand and eight movie Punisher war
Zones starring Rave Stevenson, which, like

17
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:30.760
I said, is actually quite enjoyable. It's like a nice a middle ground

18
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:37.000
between like the Thomas Jane one and
then the way more serious you're talking about,

19
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:41.680
the serious the Netflix show. Yeah, the Netflix one more comic Bookie

20
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:44.280
than both of them. Okay,
gotcha. And then the first four episodes

21
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:49.400
also have Lillian Wang, Michael J. Gutierrez, and Kate Duffy listed as

22
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:53.640
staff writers. So yeah, the
show was produced by sky Dants, which

23
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:57.280
is the same production company that made
the last two Terminator movies. And I

24
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:02.159
only mentioned that because I was curious
how exactly Nick Santorra became involved with the

25
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:07.519
show, Like I was curious if
maybe Arnold Ham picked him or something like

26
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:09.680
that. But apparently, according to
Variety, like a Variety article that I

27
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:13.319
found, it seems like part of
the reason he was chosen was because he

28
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:17.159
actually already had a development deal in
place with Guy Dance. Huh interesting.

29
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:23.439
So yeah, I believe he's is
sky Dance like somebody's production company, the

30
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:27.159
way like Scott Free is like Ridley
Scott's production company. I think it's I

31
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:30.360
think a guy's names like David Ellison
or something like that. Oh okay,

32
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:35.240
like, I'm pretty sure that's who
by David Ellison in twenty ten. Oh

33
00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:37.800
yeah, it's not very old.
Yeah, it's newer than I thought it

34
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:42.560
was. Yeah, it's weird because
on my Google search, the first thing

35
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:45.879
that pulls up is it's founded in
twenty ten, and then kind of on

36
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:51.840
the side here it says Skydance Media
is an American production company founded by David

37
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:54.800
Elson two thousand and six. What
was he doing before? I don't know.

38
00:02:55.319 --> 00:03:00.240
Okay, yeah, weird anyway,
so, uh yeah, I believe

39
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:05.000
he's actually he actually, I'm pretty
sure is the showrunner for Reacher on Amazon

40
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:08.120
Prime, which was part of his
deal with sky Dance. I've heard good

41
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:10.960
things, but I've only seen like
one episode. Was it any good?

42
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:15.439
It was decent, it was fine. Okay, I've only seen the movie.

43
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:17.919
The movie was kind of fun.
Yeah, it was fine. Yeah.

44
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:22.080
So yeah, that's it for the
credits, I guess for this episode.

45
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:24.960
All right, So, in case
you've never heard of this show,

46
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:30.080
fu Bar is starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.
I'm gonna run through the cast real quick

47
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:37.159
because character names get a little confusing
later. But the main characters are Arnold

48
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:43.919
as Luke Brunner. We have Monica
Barbaro as Emma Brunner. I have no

49
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:46.360
idea. I don't think I've ever
seen her in anything, but she I'm

50
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:50.759
pretty sure. Like a lot of
the reviews mentioned that she was in a

51
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:53.719
the New Top Gun movie. Oh
okay, apparently she's really good in it,

52
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:57.080
but I've never haven't seen Oh she
she might be one of the pilots.

53
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:00.639
Was Lieutenant Natasha. Yeah, if
she's one of the pilots, I

54
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:03.919
vaguely remember. I saw the movie
once. Okay, but anyway, let's

55
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:08.800
see. Barry, who is Arnold's
best friend in the show, is played

56
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:12.680
by Milan Carter, which, again
I've never heard of him. I don't

57
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:14.840
think I've seen him in anything,
but I really like him. I think

58
00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:17.839
he's pretty funny in the show.
Yeah, apparently he's in Dolomite is my

59
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:20.639
Name, And I know he doesn't
have very many credits, but he's in.

60
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:24.079
To watch that movie and I never
got around to it. I don't

61
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:27.040
remember him in that, but I
haven't seen it in a while. Then

62
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:31.399
we have the rest of Arnold's team
Fortune Feimster Feimster, right, Yeah,

63
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:36.680
I think so Fortune Feiinster is Rue
who is one of the field agents and

64
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:40.560
she's like a super genius in the
show. I guess, oh is she?

65
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:44.360
Yeah, like they have her do
sciencey stuff every once in a while.

66
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:50.040
And then there's Alden who is played
by Travis van Winkle, who I

67
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:54.120
don't know anything about him. He
was in the only thing I know him

68
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:57.160
from is he is in I think
it was like two thousand and nine or

69
00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:00.839
something like that, The Friday the
thirteenth, like reboot the okay, gotcha,

70
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:02.360
the only thing I know him from. So that covers the main spy

71
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:09.680
team. And then the main villain
is Gabriel Luna as Boro Polonia and Gabriel

72
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:15.720
Luna you will remember is the Polite
Terminator from Terminator Dark Fate. Yeah,

73
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:19.040
he's also in the Last of Us. Yeah, he plays Tommy and The

74
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:24.000
Last of Us very recently. And
that is that's the main cast. Like

75
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:28.000
there's some supporting people, but I
really don't recognize like a lot of people.

76
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:31.439
They're not important. Yeah anyway,
all right, let's see. So

77
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:38.639
episode one we begin in Belgium meeting
Luke Brunner, a season CIA operative,

78
00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:43.079
finishing up his last job before retirement, We see him kicking all sorts of

79
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:46.000
ass and also meet Barry, who
acts as his handler and is his best

80
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:49.079
friend. Sorry, real, real
quick, real quick. The summary is

81
00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:53.959
are going to be super brief on
Chris's part. We're going through every scene.

82
00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:56.879
We're doing four episodes, so there's
no way I'm going through every scene.

83
00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:00.839
Okay, cool. So I have
like a couple things about the like

84
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:03.800
the opening scene. Yeah, first
of all, like six five years old

85
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:06.920
and he's actually seventy six, which
I thought was interesting. They just aged

86
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:10.519
down a little bit. Secondly,
the beating on the diamonds confused me when

87
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:13.040
I watched it, because so he
goes in and eas like I had to

88
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:15.720
turn the subtitles on because I was
very confused about that. Oh really,

89
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:19.519
yeah, well I looked it up. According according to the WP Diamonds dot

90
00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:26.519
Com quote, diamonds are not wettable, So like beads of water on a

91
00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:29.959
candle, these gems like to resist
water, which why does it happen on

92
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:33.360
bonded carbon atoms on the surface like
to bind to grease based things. This

93
00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:38.079
is why diamonds get dirty, the
little greasy things, so be sure to

94
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:41.759
clean them. Therefore, there are
a few there are a few bonds left

95
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:46.560
for water to attract. Gotcha.
So wait, so so a cut diamond

96
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:51.319
would like get wet, like the
water wouldn't bead. Okay, so basically

97
00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:56.560
like oil and water, you know, they don't mix. Yeah exactly.

98
00:06:57.079 --> 00:06:59.079
I was just confused by the scene
because I was like, okay, so

99
00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:01.519
first I thought, like the diamonds, he thought the diamonds were fake because

100
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:04.959
there were beads of water on them. Yeah, but he doesn't think they're

101
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:09.959
fake. It's just well I think
he noticed the beads, which that's some

102
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:13.920
good diamonding right there, dealing with
a lot of diamonds. Sorry, this

103
00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:15.519
was bog bugging me because I was
like, wait, what the fuck?

104
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:20.279
And then he noticed it when he
smelled him because he smelled like resident Yeah

105
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:25.319
exactly, he smelled the whatever he
used to blow the voult. Yeah.

106
00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:29.920
I'd like that scene. I think
that the cyanide stuff is fun where he's

107
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:32.680
like he has a cyanide capsule and
he's like, basically he tells the guy,

108
00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:35.160
well, this is cyanide, so
I kill myself. He takes it

109
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:38.439
and then he's like, oh wait, I took the antidote. And then

110
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:41.720
he just kicks everybody's ass and shoots
everybody. Yeah. But anyway, they

111
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:46.319
go home and meet Emma, his
daughter. We learned that Emma is practically

112
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:49.360
perfect in basically every way. She's
a straight a overachiever and went on to

113
00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:55.759
become a globe trotting philanthropist. Luke's
only problem with Emma is her choice in

114
00:07:55.879 --> 00:08:01.839
men, specifically J. Barshell.
Also Luke's shitty disappointment of a son is

115
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:05.879
there anyway? Luke is clearly still
in love with his ex wife Tally and

116
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:09.360
plans to get her back with a
yacht from the CIA now that he's retiring.

117
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:11.959
So we real cook At the birthday
party, his wife looked familiar.

118
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:15.040
I don't recognize her from anything.
I looked it up and that's a lot

119
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:18.240
of vagina from Austin powers is by
who shagged me? Really? Yeah,

120
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:22.360
holy shit? And then J.
Burshell pretty much played the same role as

121
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:26.720
usual. But yeah, he's playing
J Barshell, Yeah exactly. And then

122
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:31.839
there was one of the one of
the lines that I liked in this that

123
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:37.279
scene was those paintings don't finger themselves. Yeah, because he's a kindergarten teacher.

124
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:41.440
Yeah. And then that like father
daughter interest scene is like upon the

125
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:46.799
like the third rewatch is just corny. I don't think that's so bad,

126
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:48.799
and I think she's doing a decent
job in that, Like, yeah,

127
00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:52.120
it's the problem is that you know
she's a spy, so it seems like

128
00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:56.240
she's being fake. If that was
an actual reveal, I think that scene

129
00:08:56.279 --> 00:09:01.000
would come off a lot better.
But it just becomes obvious that the dialogue's

130
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:05.240
forced because like he somehow thinks like
his dialogue on there is forced because he's

131
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:07.919
like naming up. I think all
the dialogues forced. Yeah, I mean

132
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:13.039
that's what acting is, I know, but like there's subtle ways to do

133
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:15.840
it, and this show's not great
at it. Yeah, I don't.

134
00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:18.600
I don't like most of the dialogue
in the show. But yeah, so

135
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:22.480
I had no idea what the show
was about when I started watching. Really

136
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:26.679
yeah, I didn't watch anything on
it, and I probably wouldn't have picked

137
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:30.679
up that she was a spy except
for the name of the fucking episode,

138
00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:33.200
take Her Down a Workday, which
you pointed out when we were watching it.

139
00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:37.879
Yeah, as soon as they get
to the camp where the other terminator

140
00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:46.200
is running the t or T,
the polite terminator, that's what I And

141
00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:50.600
they're like, oh, you know, he's the best or whatever. I'm

142
00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:54.320
like, oh, that's his fucking
yeah. So Luke is clearly still in

143
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:56.879
love with his ex wife. He's
gonna get her back now that he got

144
00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:01.519
a yacht from the CIA, just
despite the fact that she is in a

145
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:07.039
relationship with one of the Ninja turtles
at his retirement party, is it a

146
00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:13.000
ninja turtle as his name is Don
Tello? Oh okay, jesus. So

147
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:16.840
we're at his retirement party and we
are introduced to the rest of Luke's team.

148
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:22.080
I have no idea. I'm pretty
sure he's even a little old to

149
00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:28.480
be even one of the originals.
We meet the rest of Luke's team,

150
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:31.840
Alden and Rue, before Luke gets
pulled into one last job, which is

151
00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:37.120
saving an embedded agent from an international
terrorist named Boro that he helped to create

152
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:43.679
while also stealing Borough's w MD,
which is like a handheld nuke Fortune Fortune

153
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:46.879
Fine Star. Yeah. Yeah.
And then Travis von Winkel. They're pretty

154
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:52.879
much, if this is a unofficial
true life sequel, which sort is,

155
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:58.960
they're pretty much filling the Tom Arnold
role basically. Unfortunately, they doubled the

156
00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:01.120
Tom Manold trip, the Tom Arnold
roll, so like, yeah, I

157
00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:05.759
don't know, I mean, I
still it's it's I don't mind it.

158
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:07.360
I mean, I'll talk about it
later. I like all of them individually,

159
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:11.519
it's just too much for me.
And then another line that I liked

160
00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:13.279
his I even waited him for or
even waited for him to get off the

161
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:20.639
compound before I threw his dad off
a cliff. That is funny. Let's

162
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:26.720
see. So Luke heads down to
Boro's base in Guiana, where compound is

163
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:31.480
compound, sorry, I want to
compound, where he is greeted as an

164
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:37.360
old friend because he basically one of
his undercover aliases was a friend of Boro's

165
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:41.320
dad and so he's known of his
whole life. While they tour the Bass,

166
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:45.799
Luke is introduced to the embedded agent, who turns out to be Emma,

167
00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:48.480
his daughter, revealed to be pretty
much the opposite of how her father

168
00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:52.080
sees her. He is introduced to
her in the middle of a fucking like

169
00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:58.600
prize fight as she is smoking and
beating the shit out of somebody and cursing

170
00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:03.000
and smoking, which again I told
Joe and I told Erica this again when

171
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:05.759
we rewatched it. But that revealed
that it was his daughter who would have

172
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:09.720
had no impact if I hadn't known
what the show is about, because like,

173
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:11.879
I wouldn't have known the same actress. I would have been like,

174
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:15.320
you wouldn't have recognized her? No, I was like, who is that?

175
00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:18.080
That's like, that's fair. She's
only been in one scene for like

176
00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:22.440
three minutes so exactly, and it
does doesn't maybe have any like distinctive.

177
00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:24.600
Yeah, she does look different,
like she's got her hair up and stuff

178
00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:30.840
and yeah, yeah. So Barry
then reveals that he knew about Emma and

179
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:35.279
that Cia has been keeping the Bruners
totally separate for the whole for her whole

180
00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:39.600
career. Later, Boro holds a
big party to honor Luke and also to

181
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:45.039
murder his accountant. Even later that
night, Luke and Emma kill some of

182
00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:48.639
Borough's men. Emma does so as
a complete fucking maniac. She like hides

183
00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:52.919
inside a cow and then and then
stabs a dude who comes up to look

184
00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:56.200
at it. But anyway, they
do that so that they can intercept the

185
00:12:56.240 --> 00:13:01.720
guy who's gonna rat out Emma.
And there are fighting and arguing the entire

186
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:05.360
time as the Bruners plan to steal
the nuke the next morning and continue to

187
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:09.879
fight. Boro shows up furious and
his dead men are found, proving that

188
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:13.879
Luke and m R traders, so
they make a run for it. The

189
00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:18.399
Bruners steal the nuke and helps smuggle
a family out of Borough's operation. After

190
00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:24.399
surviving an absolutely insane car crash,
the Bruners arrived to the airstrip to find

191
00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:28.600
that their ride is late, but
Boro is not, and he surrounds them

192
00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:33.159
with his with all his gunmen.
And that's where episode one ends. The

193
00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:39.679
line that caught me in that was
Barry's a Lilo and Stitch line, just

194
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:45.919
steck me up, stupid. I
like what fortune Fibster says right after that,

195
00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:50.960
I didn't write down the line.
Yeah, she says something Lewde and

196
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:52.799
says, I think that's from Frozen. Yeah, I think he says kiss

197
00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:58.240
my eyes and then yeah, yeah, all right. Episode two. Okay,

198
00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:01.480
before we get into episode two,
just a credits again, like the

199
00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:05.679
production credits. So this episode was
directed by Holly Dale, who was looking

200
00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:11.159
up. Has a ton of television
directing credits, like mostly primetime shows though,

201
00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:15.600
but she's directed everything from Law and
Order to NCIS to Agents of Shield

202
00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:18.759
to Castle, just a lot of
cop procedural shows. Yeah, and then

203
00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:22.279
it was written by Scott Sullivan,
who it looks like Nick Santorra brought over

204
00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:28.639
from Reacher because he's he's also wrote
like a few episodes of that. But

205
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:33.440
he wrote a bunch of episodes of
a show called Scorpion, which I believe

206
00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:37.399
was also developed by Nick Santorro.
And I've never heard of it before.

207
00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:39.799
I've heard of it, I never
watched it. It's it's very much like

208
00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:43.919
it had a ton of episodes.
I think there was like ninety or something

209
00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:46.559
on ninety episodes, Yeah, I
think so. Like, I've never heard

210
00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:50.519
of that show before. I think
it was all these all these network shows

211
00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:54.039
get made and they have so many
more seasons than I think they do.

212
00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:58.480
Centrist Genius forms an international network of
super geniuses to act Okay, never mind

213
00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:05.240
this, that's just a funny eccentric
Genius forms an international network of super geniuses

214
00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:09.039
to act as a last line of
defense against the complicated threats of the modern

215
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:13.039
world. There's a lot of subcategories
of genius. Yeah, so it's that

216
00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:16.879
one has ninety three episode. It
was on Front twenty fourteeny eighteen. Wow,

217
00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:20.080
I've never heard of this show before. Okay anyway, so yeah,

218
00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:26.279
so he was like wrote a bunch
of episodes of that. But uh yeah,

219
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:31.840
that's it for the episode two production
stuff. Episode two yeah for director

220
00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:37.799
rider credits. So let's get into
this business. Episode two picks up exactly

221
00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:41.000
the same moment, so as Borrow's
men held everyone at gunpoint, Luke tells

222
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:46.799
Borrow the story of how he killed
Borough's father to buy some time until the

223
00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:50.240
cavalry arrives in the form of Barry
Alden and Rue in a helicopter. I

224
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:52.840
kind of did Gabriel lun in the
role, like even tho if it's a

225
00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:56.320
bit oh, he's still good.
Yeah, but it's like, I don't

226
00:15:56.360 --> 00:16:00.559
know, he's playing a good like
megalomaniac. Yeah, like it for sure.

227
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:03.320
Yeah, and especially because I've only
seen him in Terminator movie, which

228
00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:08.039
he's a Terminator so actually yeah,
and then Last of Us which he's Tommy,

229
00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:11.879
so he's very like low key and
he's not really in it too much.

230
00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:15.080
Yeah, he's not in it a
ton so yeah, so yeah,

231
00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:19.120
this is a different thing than I've
seen him in it. I like it,

232
00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:22.240
you know, it is over the
top but it's supposed to be over

233
00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:26.039
the top, so yeah, yeah. Back at HQ, the CIA informs

234
00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:30.200
Luke and Emma that they have to
finish the Bool case together, to the

235
00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:34.799
sgrin of both father and daughter.
Uh, Luke forces Barry to begin surveillance

236
00:16:34.879 --> 00:16:40.240
on Donnie the Dude bing and his
ex wife. We see Emma hanging out

237
00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:44.799
with Jay Barrowshell to drive home that
he's a lovable dork and that being a

238
00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:51.200
spy makes relationships hard so real quick
that the director's big as scar across her

239
00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:55.519
face just kind of makes like fills
like a callback to Charlton Heston's eyepatch.

240
00:16:55.919 --> 00:16:59.200
I don't want to look dumb,
but I literally did not know she had

241
00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:03.000
a scary She has a big s
car like a joker scar, like really

242
00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:07.039
like yeah, like on the left
side of her face. It looks like

243
00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:10.680
if you have a gaming headset.
It looks like, yes, it does

244
00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:12.759
look like the mic So maybe you
didn't notice that because he thought she had

245
00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:19.279
like a microphone. Oh man,
I feel really stupid. She has a

246
00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:23.119
big scar and just yeah, it
may like Charlton Hestin just because he has

247
00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:26.000
the eye passion true lies. Yeah, but I feel like Charlton Heston would

248
00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:30.559
just supposed to be Nick Fury in
the movie. So true. Then the

249
00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:33.319
uh, first of all, with
the Donny thing, you think they would

250
00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:37.400
avoid the whole spye in the ex
wife plot because or spying on the wife

251
00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:41.680
plot, considering it's a pretty big
plot point. Four true lies, I

252
00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:45.319
guess, but they like, yeah, I mean, you're not wrong,

253
00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:48.519
but they are. They are specifically
spying on Like, he's not spying on

254
00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:52.279
Tally, He's only spying on Donald. Yeah, it's it's just like it

255
00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:56.480
is the same thing. It's it's
basically just Bill Paxson. But yeah,

256
00:17:56.640 --> 00:17:59.599
yes, this is already gonna get
like compared to it. Yeah. And

257
00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:03.160
then like the couple of lines that
I liked where he's paying for Cinemax.

258
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:06.119
I knew he was a pool.
I have that as one of my favorite

259
00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:10.160
lines. That's just it's a good
line and it's a good delivery. I

260
00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:14.720
knew he was a purvot. And
then he's holding the whole family. That's

261
00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:18.440
that is. That is number two
on things I like about this series,

262
00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:23.839
which is just hearing Arnold repeatedly pronounced
cuckolding as cock holding. And then I

263
00:18:23.880 --> 00:18:27.880
was looking to Donnie's IMDb, and
I wasn't sure what I knew. Somebody

264
00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:32.680
apparently was in Jurassic World, which
I don't remember him in, Like was

265
00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:34.680
he the dad? At first one
you can think, yeah, I don't

266
00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:38.079
know. I know I've seen him
in a bunch of stuff, but yeah.

267
00:18:38.279 --> 00:18:42.319
Next we go to a briefing room
scene to show us that it actually

268
00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:45.880
is a good idea to force the
Brunners to work together. We also introduced

269
00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:52.359
Barry's romantic interest Tina, and we
also introduce a wacky but surprisingly effective psychologist

270
00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:56.640
to solve all the daddy daughter issues. Luke and Barry crashed Tally's family dinner

271
00:18:56.680 --> 00:19:02.000
to put a tracker on Donnie's car. Also, Luke's good for nothing ship

272
00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:04.240
back of his son is there.
Next day, we find out Boro is

273
00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:07.599
going to steal some radioactive waste from
a bullet train to make a new bomb,

274
00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:11.200
so the Bruners will be on board
to stop him. Sorry, I

275
00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:15.640
just really like that we don't pay
any attention to his son, Like the

276
00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:18.960
entire story is about Emma, and
even though his life was probably also irreparably

277
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:22.160
fucked up by Arnold being a spy, they're just like, yeah, but

278
00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:26.400
he turned out to be a piece
of shit, so like, we don't

279
00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:27.799
care. He's trying to get you
to Yeah, yeah, he's trying to

280
00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:33.880
borrow money. Come on, now, he's trying to get investments for that's

281
00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:37.680
gonna fail, Yeah exactly. That
scene also has one of the weaker like

282
00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:42.319
right writing writing tropes that I'm not
a fan of, when Arnold can't admit

283
00:19:42.359 --> 00:19:48.240
that he's like there because he wants
his to see his X because he's stubborn

284
00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:52.519
or like a man or whatever.
Like I fully agree that it's a trope.

285
00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:56.640
I just think that my in my
opinion, the best acted scenes by

286
00:19:56.720 --> 00:20:00.160
Arnold are the ones where he actually
gets to be sincere with either Tally or

287
00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:04.480
Emma. So I kind of like
that scene, especially since it sets up

288
00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:07.559
a slightly better scene later on.
It does. It does set up the

289
00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:11.640
better scene, that's true, and
just the whole Like I I'd rather do

290
00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:15.680
the opposite of what I want than
admit my feelings. It's just yeah,

291
00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:19.200
anyway, it's it's a little played
out. But yeah, uh so now

292
00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:26.200
we are going to the train.
So instead of stopping the train, Borrow's

293
00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:30.680
men actually try to perform a daring
helicopter heist while the train is moving,

294
00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:36.680
made possible mostly by Luke not fully
trusting Emma's instincts. He he doesn't trust

295
00:20:36.680 --> 00:20:40.759
her instincts because she calls out,
specifically the guy who she thinks is working

296
00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:44.079
for Borow, and he like he
kind of agrees with her, but he

297
00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:47.519
still is like, no, you
gotta wait, like you gotta let's let's

298
00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:49.839
let's play it cool. Her her
instinct is to go, let let's go

299
00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:52.960
fuck him up. I'm like,
you're here in the middle of a train,

300
00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:56.359
like, there's a bunch of people
around, Like, no, like

301
00:20:56.559 --> 00:21:00.759
seriously the worst secret agents. Yeah, I mean they they definitely should not

302
00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:04.000
have done it immediately, but I
think Arnold also should have. Like I

303
00:21:04.039 --> 00:21:07.359
don't know, I think it was
the right thing to do to eventually go

304
00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:10.079
over there and stop him, or
to keep an eye on him. Yeah,

305
00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:14.240
yes, like Arnold sitting there like
distracting her by trying to talk to

306
00:21:14.319 --> 00:21:19.640
her about their relationship. But anyway, so Luke and Emma speed up the

307
00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:25.839
train to stop the heist by forcing
the helicopter to disconnect, but then they

308
00:21:25.839 --> 00:21:29.559
can't slow it down normally because Luke
screwed up when he was trying to do

309
00:21:29.599 --> 00:21:33.599
a little Donnie surveillance. So now
the train is going to crash into the

310
00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:37.279
station and basically irradiate the whole town. And that is the end of episode

311
00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:41.640
two. So her boyfriend calls her
mom in the middle of this to complain.

312
00:21:41.119 --> 00:21:45.000
Yeah, basically what happens is j
Barrowshell. They were supposed to go

313
00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:49.839
to Antique's road show together and she
has to not go because of the mission.

314
00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:53.839
He is kind of bummed out about
it, especially since it doesn't go

315
00:21:53.960 --> 00:22:00.480
his way when he's there. And
then her mom basically texts them and says

316
00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:03.759
like urgent, urgent, please call
me, yes, And then she calls

317
00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:07.960
her and she's like, man,
Jay Bearshell is really down in the dumps,

318
00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:11.200
and she's like, you call this
a fucking emergency. So because it's

319
00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:14.599
right in the middle of when the
train's gonna crash, so on top of

320
00:22:14.599 --> 00:22:17.599
that, it was just like sorry, it was just like her you called

321
00:22:17.640 --> 00:22:22.279
her mom? Come on, man, uh yeah, I mean I don't

322
00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:25.839
know. They didn't. I mean
he must have, but they didn't show.

323
00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:27.880
They didn't they didn't show what he
knowed. They didn't show what he

324
00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:32.519
did. But he definitely called her, especially because like he later we see

325
00:22:32.559 --> 00:22:36.519
what happens when he proposes to so
he definitely called her, which is just

326
00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:42.960
we I don't know. I'm also
not close to anybody, so maybe that's

327
00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:52.400
it was like trying to be close
to their parents' Chris, Yeah, like

328
00:22:52.440 --> 00:23:00.759
what a pussy. I'm just like, sorry, I probably shouldn't laugh that

329
00:23:00.839 --> 00:23:06.720
loud at my brother's emotional isolation,
but that was hilarious. Oh my god.

330
00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:11.559
The one thing I'll say is I
agree that they are clearly writing him

331
00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:15.200
in a way that doesn't always make
sense, because they clearly need her to

332
00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:18.680
break up with him by the end
of the series. Yes, so that

333
00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:23.480
kind of bothers me. However,
I don't really I think what he is

334
00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:29.680
is just a nice counterpoint to their
family. Yes, in that he communicates

335
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:33.799
is like a sweet person say about
me. I'm like, that's why I

336
00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:37.880
was laughing so harder. Show again, That's why I was laughing so harder.

337
00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:41.839
We're just trying to talk to your
family. Yeah, you recognize the

338
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:45.400
differences, but you clearly are like
on the rock side of it. I'm

339
00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:51.079
just pretty much being on Schwarzenegger.
Yeah exactly, which again just reminds me

340
00:23:51.160 --> 00:23:55.119
of like when we were talking about
uh, I think you were there when

341
00:23:55.160 --> 00:24:00.920
we were talking about a family member
who's close to their family, uh huh,

342
00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:03.960
And we were like, my sister
was there who lives across the country,

343
00:24:04.319 --> 00:24:11.440
so she's visiting and one of our
family members is there and her family's

344
00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:17.640
very close. H And after they
leave, we're all at my mom's house

345
00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:22.400
and we just start ripping on the
family for being close, like all three

346
00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:27.279
of us, like what a bunch
of fucking freaks, Like what are they

347
00:24:27.319 --> 00:24:30.400
talking and hugging and stuff like that, Like did you see one of them

348
00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:37.200
sitting neither there's lap that's fucking weird, Like what a bunch And then I

349
00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:41.039
think I pointed out like how sad
is this that we're like I don't know

350
00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:42.200
if my mom was sitting there,
but I know it was the three of

351
00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:47.039
us just like being like, oh, a bunch of fucking weirdos. Like

352
00:24:47.680 --> 00:24:51.359
just like, while I do think
you are slightly emotionally stunted, also that

353
00:24:51.359 --> 00:24:55.200
family, that family, that part
of the family is fucking weird. Yes,

354
00:24:55.839 --> 00:24:59.279
so you're not still, but still
it was. It was just funny

355
00:24:59.279 --> 00:25:02.960
because like just had a moment of
like how sad is this? And we

356
00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:07.480
like what we can't handle like love
any sort of. It was like,

357
00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:15.079
yeah, God, it's fucking weirdos. Also the line when they're spitting up

358
00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:18.720
the train and uh, fortune pretty
much has all the good lines. Yeah,

359
00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:22.599
but when she says sounds like Donny
Donny Boy's going on a tally rally

360
00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:29.119
just yeah, that's right after they
find out he took four VIAGRAA that's what

361
00:25:29.160 --> 00:25:33.960
she says, and it's and then
something about his pants too, like they

362
00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:37.039
said something and he's like she's kind
of like Johnny's Chino's or something like that.

363
00:25:38.200 --> 00:25:41.359
Yeah, she has a few good
lines. Yeah, when they're talking

364
00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:47.160
about Donnie Bingen his ex wife.
But yeah, that's that's my uh anyway.

365
00:25:47.279 --> 00:25:49.799
Yeah, before we get going with
episode three, a little more production

366
00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:53.359
stuff. This episode was also directed
by Hollydale, who directed the last one,

367
00:25:55.119 --> 00:25:57.839
and then it was written by Adam
Higgs, who is actually also credited

368
00:25:57.839 --> 00:26:03.119
with helping develop or from Black,
which I've never seen but heard was good.

369
00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:07.240
Yeah. Same, I know,
I know that's supposed to be like

370
00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:15.359
Lost. That's the one where what's
her name from chi Hulk tatianas Maslani.

371
00:26:15.759 --> 00:26:19.240
That's that's like her breakout role where
she plays like thirteen different people or something.

372
00:26:19.720 --> 00:26:22.759
Is it? Is it? Is
it the one that's supposed to be

373
00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:26.240
like a like a non anthology,
but like, no, no, it's

374
00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:30.640
it's like a it's like a I
think a sci fi premise where she's got

375
00:26:30.720 --> 00:26:33.480
like multiple personalities. Okay, yeah, okay, I've never seen hearty was

376
00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:37.559
good. I heard I've only heard
good things. But yeah, that's it

377
00:26:37.640 --> 00:26:41.240
for the writing direct credits. So
go ahead with with that episode cool or

378
00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:48.160
with this episode? I guess episode
three? Go got it right? Uh

379
00:26:48.359 --> 00:26:52.640
So, now we're onto episode three, We're still on the train. Everything

380
00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:56.079
is gonna crash. Basically, they
solve it, so now they have to

381
00:26:56.079 --> 00:27:00.720
pump nuclear waste into the trains drive
system for science, which if you just

382
00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:03.119
if you just pump some hot in
air, that's what Donnie was thinking.

383
00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:07.920
Yeah, that's probably where that kind
of uh So, Luke helps Emma climb

384
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:11.680
out on top of the train using
the magnetic vests that they got from their

385
00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:15.400
therapists. They have a little fight
and she can finally convinces him to let

386
00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:19.519
her go. She grabs the tube
to transfer the waist, slow down the

387
00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:23.119
train, and save the day.
Okay, the writing for this scene makes

388
00:27:23.119 --> 00:27:27.240
me appreciate the subtletya and I used
that with quotes subtlety of James James Cammon's

389
00:27:27.240 --> 00:27:32.440
writing. Yeah, Like it's very
like you gotta let me go. Yeah,

390
00:27:32.559 --> 00:27:33.960
but I don't want to let you
go, but you gotta. Eventually,

391
00:27:34.000 --> 00:27:38.559
I'm like, oh my god,
like literally and metaphorically, you must

392
00:27:38.640 --> 00:27:42.920
let it, don't. Yeah,
that's yeah anyway, So, yeah,

393
00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:48.599
they save the day. Emma makes
Luke stop the surveillance of Donnie and then

394
00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:52.160
tries to smooth over some relationship issues
with Jay Burshell. Then the show begins

395
00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:56.240
to set up a romance between Emma
and Alden Yeah, which was weird.

396
00:27:56.440 --> 00:28:00.160
Yeah, Luke has a little heart
to heart with tallyasically he shows up at

397
00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:03.400
the house again when it's just the
two of them and they kind of have

398
00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:07.920
a nice conversation. We see Boro
torturing the man that Luke smuggled out of

399
00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:11.880
Guiana for some very vague details about
Emma, including her first name and the

400
00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:17.160
fact that she plays violin. I
love how Gabriel Luna is putting his like

401
00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:19.839
the characters, putting his PowerPoint skills
the use when he's like clicks on the

402
00:28:19.880 --> 00:28:26.160
next slide and adds two boxes next
to his very basic PowerPoint. It's like

403
00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:30.000
just the word Emma and then a
picture of a violin. It's literally just

404
00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:33.599
like it's just white font on a
back black background. It says Emma,

405
00:28:33.680 --> 00:28:37.079
and he's like, this is all
we have to come. Just can imagine

406
00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:42.519
him like doing the PowerPoint like he's
like that looks He's like, I don't

407
00:28:42.519 --> 00:28:45.240
know what she looks like and putting
image like playing with the fonts for like

408
00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:48.799
half an hour, like I would
could get a star fade in on that

409
00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:53.279
violin shot. No, not star, it's god of slow fade. I

410
00:28:53.279 --> 00:29:00.559
don't know what you got them.
Seriously, come on, I was wonderfully

411
00:29:00.680 --> 00:29:03.720
like should I put a strata aris
in there? Like will they will?

412
00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:07.720
They will? These fuckers even recognize
that there's stars in there, like or

413
00:29:10.599 --> 00:29:12.960
fiddle in there, and they wouldn't
know it. Also, the picture of

414
00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:17.440
young Arnold with the kid, like
young it was obviously like nineties, Yeah

415
00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:19.039
it was. It was nineties Arnold
with a kid. I was gonna say,

416
00:29:19.039 --> 00:29:22.640
they should have used the picture of
Arnold's real kid with like that he

417
00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:23.720
had with the nanny. But that
was just what it looked like, like

418
00:29:23.799 --> 00:29:29.519
miniature Arnold Georgiana because that kid looks
exactly like it. Oh yeah, I

419
00:29:29.920 --> 00:29:32.640
was kind of wondering, like,
is that just photoshopped or is that like

420
00:29:32.680 --> 00:29:36.039
a picture of a real fan.
I don't know, it's probably photoshoped.

421
00:29:36.920 --> 00:29:38.079
Yeah, yeah, that's what I
figured. But they showed a picture of

422
00:29:38.359 --> 00:29:42.680
uh, like, uh, Gabriel. I keep wanting to say Diego Luna

423
00:29:42.920 --> 00:29:45.079
because they have the same last name, and I wrote it once and I

424
00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:48.640
was like, that's not I don't
think that's the right thing. But uh,

425
00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:51.440
of Gabriel Luna when he was a
kid early. I was curious if

426
00:29:51.440 --> 00:29:53.519
that was actually a picture of him
photoshopped with a different actor. But I

427
00:29:53.640 --> 00:29:57.839
actually look anyway. Anyway, let's
see. Then he sets a room full

428
00:29:57.880 --> 00:30:00.720
of as Aaron was saying, he
sets a room full of hackers to find

429
00:30:00.720 --> 00:30:06.640
the real identity of both Luke and
Emma. Luke and his crew celebrate their

430
00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:10.319
victory on his new yacht, where
Rue starts trying to help Barry hook up

431
00:30:10.359 --> 00:30:14.640
with Tina the tally Ho. Yeah, the tally Ho, which they inform

432
00:30:14.759 --> 00:30:17.319
him is probably a bad name if
he's trying to get back with Tally.

433
00:30:18.160 --> 00:30:22.119
Tina gets a lead on Borow's next
move, so the celebration is cut short

434
00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:26.319
to go find a missing nuclear scientist. Just a reminder, Tina is an

435
00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:30.240
NSA agent who is again the only
reason I care is that she's Barry's love

436
00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:33.559
interest, because that's a storyline.
Yeah, she got introduced in the Before

437
00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:37.279
They went I mentioned earlier, I
just didn't mention the name. Yeah,

438
00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:41.319
and how timid the Tina. The
girls also sort of about me, just

439
00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:47.640
because it's another trope to like it's
the timid smart girl. They constantly bring

440
00:30:47.680 --> 00:30:48.839
it to attention. Ye, Like, yeah, definitely. Just the way

441
00:30:48.880 --> 00:30:52.240
they write the characters is very Yeah. I mean she's got one character.

442
00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:56.839
Yeah, but it's also one dimensional. She's got one characteristic. That's that's

443
00:30:56.880 --> 00:31:00.160
it. Yeah, She's she's shy. Yeah, that's so they're looking for

444
00:31:00.240 --> 00:31:04.359
it. They're trying to find a
missing nuclear scientist. Then we see Emma

445
00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:10.880
talking to Ja Barshell about the future
and having kids, during which Barshell turns

446
00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:14.400
weirdly old fashioned so that Emma will
have an excuse to dump him and go

447
00:31:14.440 --> 00:31:18.480
out with the hot spy let's see. Then we get another briefing for the

448
00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:23.079
next mission, which is to break
into a facility to steal the missing scientists

449
00:31:23.240 --> 00:31:29.440
research so that they can find out
what else Boro needs for his bomb.

450
00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:33.119
And I didn't realize how overcomplicated this
part of the plot was until I had

451
00:31:33.119 --> 00:31:37.279
to write it down, and I
was like, oh Jesus Christ. Well,

452
00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:41.640
first off, you see that Arnold
was spying on on so he knows

453
00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:45.799
about the kid thing. Oh,
he was going to pick up Emma,

454
00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:48.599
and he like eavesdropped on them as
they were having a conversation. Yeah.

455
00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:52.960
Also, I only mention that because
Arnold saying nude was great. Yeah,

456
00:31:52.680 --> 00:31:59.279
what do you want to do with
that nude it? Yeah? Exactly.

457
00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:07.440
Okay, so you guys arh complaining
about how simple, simplistic so much stuff

458
00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:13.039
is, and then you're also complaining
about how overcomplicated this plot is. To

459
00:32:13.240 --> 00:32:16.079
again, no, no simplistic.
Yeah, characters need to be multi dimensional

460
00:32:16.160 --> 00:32:22.079
to be interesting. That part of
the plot is really complicated. What is

461
00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:27.480
it? I actually, I'm super
enjoying the show, so I didn't notice

462
00:32:27.480 --> 00:32:30.039
this stuff. I didn't notice this
stuff until the second time watching it,

463
00:32:30.240 --> 00:32:32.759
Like every the first time watching it, I've been watching with Erica. The

464
00:32:32.759 --> 00:32:36.839
first time watching this has been super
fun. Like i've been watching it,

465
00:32:36.880 --> 00:32:40.119
I've been super interested in like I
enjoy all the characters. I'm starting to

466
00:32:40.160 --> 00:32:44.599
notice a little bit of stuff about
Arnold, like just like complaining about the

467
00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:49.519
daughter stuff a lot is getting a
little like a tired joke. But otherwise

468
00:32:49.519 --> 00:32:52.720
I'm enjoying the show so far.
It's just like the second time through,

469
00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:55.599
I was like noticing like stuff as
far as character development, and it's only

470
00:32:55.680 --> 00:32:59.839
character development, Like I'm enjoying the
rest of stuff. And I would say

471
00:32:59.839 --> 00:33:02.839
that this is the only part of
the plot that I felt was over complicated,

472
00:33:04.920 --> 00:33:07.720
this particular mission, which not not
that they do a bad job explaining

473
00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:12.039
it, but it is a lot
of Like the first time I watched this,

474
00:33:12.839 --> 00:33:15.519
I didn't really understand what the point
of the mission was. I was

475
00:33:15.599 --> 00:33:17.759
just like, Okay, they're going
and they need to steal some data from

476
00:33:17.799 --> 00:33:22.160
this guy, and that's that's good
enough for me. But when I actually

477
00:33:22.200 --> 00:33:24.480
try to parse out, like exactly
what they're doing, I was like,

478
00:33:24.519 --> 00:33:29.680
Oh, they crammed a lot into
this one episode as far as the plot

479
00:33:29.720 --> 00:33:35.160
goes. They have a ton of
briefing scenes like like the fifth or sixth

480
00:33:35.200 --> 00:33:37.720
one in the three episodes, and
it's a super effective way to do it,

481
00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:44.000
Like an exposition exposition dump. Yeah, but that's one of my notes.

482
00:33:44.039 --> 00:33:45.960
But then also that poob beer scene
with Travis man Winkel, Like I

483
00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:51.200
was telling Chris before, he plays
just like a great charming douchebag. He's

484
00:33:51.279 --> 00:33:52.599
so good at it. Yea,
I love those two. The two uh

485
00:33:53.039 --> 00:34:00.279
Tom rrole split sec Well, that's
what office jobs are, like a lot

486
00:34:00.279 --> 00:34:06.440
of fucking meetings. So yeah,
So the plan to get this information that

487
00:34:06.440 --> 00:34:12.320
they need is that Alden will seduce
a Moldovan bureaucrat to get access to the

488
00:34:13.079 --> 00:34:16.960
research files. Emma is kind of
grossed out by the honeypot concept and debates

489
00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:21.440
Alden about it a little bit,
which is weird considering she's done it before.

490
00:34:22.280 --> 00:34:23.800
Should we find out later? Yes, we find out, she says

491
00:34:23.880 --> 00:34:28.280
later that she's done it before.
She says that she's had to get close

492
00:34:28.320 --> 00:34:31.239
to people, but she has never
so much just kissed anybody in order to

493
00:34:31.400 --> 00:34:36.400
do her job. Are you sure? She says? She says to him,

494
00:34:36.800 --> 00:34:39.599
she has never so much just kissed
anybody while since she's been with Carter,

495
00:34:39.800 --> 00:34:44.320
Yes, since she's been, but
she's done that before. She kind

496
00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:46.559
of she's okay, yeah, okay, fine, So so like that's why

497
00:34:46.559 --> 00:34:50.199
it was weird that she's giving him
or she was like, wait, what's

498
00:34:50.239 --> 00:34:52.719
going on? But a lot of
this would work better if she was a

499
00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:58.400
new agent, because you're explaining stuff
and explaining stuff and explaining stuff to where

500
00:34:58.599 --> 00:35:00.559
she should know all this shit already. There's another scene that's coming up to

501
00:35:00.559 --> 00:35:04.519
where you're like, why are they
explaining it to her? Which I know

502
00:35:04.559 --> 00:35:07.519
because they're explaining to us. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but that would

503
00:35:07.599 --> 00:35:09.960
make a little more sense. This
works a lot better if it's a new

504
00:35:10.000 --> 00:35:13.519
agent. This isn't something you need
to explain to someone that's been there for

505
00:35:13.519 --> 00:35:15.840
what eight years? Yeah? So
yeah, anyway, go ahead, Yeah,

506
00:35:15.880 --> 00:35:20.199
no, that makes sense. Let's
see. Oh yeah. So later

507
00:35:20.239 --> 00:35:23.000
that night, when they arrive,
as Alden and Emma wait in a bar

508
00:35:23.159 --> 00:35:28.159
for the target, it becomes apparent
the target is in fact a straight man,

509
00:35:28.320 --> 00:35:30.880
and it's Emma who will have to
pull off the honeypot. Despite Luke's

510
00:35:30.880 --> 00:35:37.480
objections. Alden helps Emma get ready
to seduce and eases her guilt kind of

511
00:35:37.559 --> 00:35:42.599
about possibly cheating on Jay Burrowshell,
further laying the groundwork for a possible partner

512
00:35:42.639 --> 00:35:45.039
swap with her giving him shit.
When they were on the plane about being

513
00:35:45.079 --> 00:35:49.840
like a chauvinistic d bag. The
scene is just written to where it's always

514
00:35:49.880 --> 00:35:52.039
like those two characters that I'm hooking
up, so like, yeah, it's

515
00:35:52.119 --> 00:35:54.480
usually like while they're yelling at each
other before saying are you as turn on

516
00:35:54.559 --> 00:35:58.400
as I am? More? And
then they start like making out. It's

517
00:35:58.400 --> 00:36:00.159
the rum com thing. They have
to start out disliking each other, and

518
00:36:00.320 --> 00:36:02.960
that's how you know they're going to
end up together. But what if they

519
00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:07.719
don't. It's a possibility. We
haven't finished the series. I would be

520
00:36:07.800 --> 00:36:10.360
interested in that. I hope it
makes that turn, But yes, so

521
00:36:10.440 --> 00:36:14.440
do I Like I kind of hope
that they figure stuff out with Jay Bershew,

522
00:36:14.519 --> 00:36:19.599
but it's not looking so great.
It's great. So Emma successfully gets

523
00:36:19.599 --> 00:36:22.679
the invite back to the target's room, so Rue and Luke head there to

524
00:36:22.719 --> 00:36:28.599
do some recon and plan the exit
strategy. We go to Borrow to see

525
00:36:28.599 --> 00:36:32.679
that he has abducted the missing scientist
as suspected. Luke has to listen to

526
00:36:32.719 --> 00:36:37.239
his daughter do some further seduction as
the team tries to access the data that

527
00:36:37.280 --> 00:36:42.280
she is mining, but eventually they
find that the files aren't there, so

528
00:36:43.000 --> 00:36:45.559
Emma has to break into a physical
safe to get the hard copy of the

529
00:36:45.559 --> 00:36:53.360
research. When Alden is trying to
figure out if Nick's gay was that that

530
00:36:53.400 --> 00:36:57.599
was a very good scene. He
liked very quickly he turns around, He's

531
00:36:57.639 --> 00:36:59.639
like, maybe I still have a
shot at this. He turns around,

532
00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:01.360
he like makes eyes at the guy, and the guy ignores him, and

533
00:37:01.360 --> 00:37:06.039
he's like, Nope, it's a
lost cause he's straight. And they're like

534
00:37:06.559 --> 00:37:07.599
and they're like, how do you
know he's straight just by looking at it?

535
00:37:07.679 --> 00:37:13.239
He's like, because he didn't want
any of this come on the chakan

536
00:37:13.280 --> 00:37:17.760
a line I thought was really funny
too. Emma pulls the full honeypot and

537
00:37:17.920 --> 00:37:22.239
breaks into the safe, but as
soon as she gets the research, the

538
00:37:22.280 --> 00:37:23.760
target wakes up and points a gun
at her head, and that is the

539
00:37:23.880 --> 00:37:27.880
end of episode three. Any idea
what that emo rock song was, because

540
00:37:27.880 --> 00:37:30.119
that was curious about don't have time
to look it up because it sounded like

541
00:37:30.239 --> 00:37:32.719
nineties, Like, yeah, that
was God, who was that? It's

542
00:37:32.760 --> 00:37:37.639
not Bush, It's it's a song
I've heard a bunch ye sound like Stone

543
00:37:37.639 --> 00:37:40.519
Teable Pilots or Bush or something.
Yeah, it's more more Bush into like

544
00:37:42.239 --> 00:37:49.239
fuck not Oasis, but like yeah, something more like bush or like or

545
00:37:49.320 --> 00:37:52.400
like that space hog song that was
in the Guardians trailer, uh fox space

546
00:37:53.199 --> 00:38:00.400
It wasn't a remember okay anyway,
and then she breaks into the safe mm

547
00:38:00.440 --> 00:38:07.960
hmm by using her lipstick thing.
But they just said that they can't leave

548
00:38:07.000 --> 00:38:13.039
any evidence behind. So that's that's
what I didn't get. That's so she

549
00:38:13.199 --> 00:38:16.960
cons basically into that, like the
safe' is fucking done because she breaks a

550
00:38:17.039 --> 00:38:21.599
huge hole into it. Yeah,
yeah, that's true. I did not

551
00:38:21.639 --> 00:38:23.679
care to believe they didn't They didn't
want to go in there all gung ho

552
00:38:23.800 --> 00:38:28.800
because then you would immediately let Len
know and everybody would immediately know, and

553
00:38:28.840 --> 00:38:31.679
then they would get the word out
and then you know, uh Bolo or

554
00:38:31.719 --> 00:38:36.199
whatever his name is, Yeah,
oh, get word of it and change

555
00:38:36.239 --> 00:38:39.480
stuff. So if they just did
that for the safe and took the stuff

556
00:38:39.480 --> 00:38:43.239
and like put it back on there
and close the door, who knows when

557
00:38:43.280 --> 00:38:45.079
he's going to go in there.
I guess that's there in the morning.

558
00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:49.280
Yeah, it could be a few
weeks. The only thing. The only

559
00:38:49.280 --> 00:38:52.000
thing is they make a big deal
about how they can't just knock him out.

560
00:38:52.920 --> 00:38:55.280
Yeah, And I'm like, I
don't see a huge like, if

561
00:38:55.280 --> 00:38:58.559
you knock him out, you can
just tell him he fell asleep. I

562
00:38:58.559 --> 00:39:00.360
don't know, they were both drunk. I'm sure. I don't know.

563
00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:02.639
Yah, but I don't know,
But yeah, I get. I guess

564
00:39:02.639 --> 00:39:06.320
that kind of makes sense, is
that that if you if you put the

565
00:39:06.400 --> 00:39:08.119
fake if you put the fake wall
back, it's like, how long until

566
00:39:08.119 --> 00:39:10.440
he actually goes into that safe?
It's at least a few days. And

567
00:39:10.440 --> 00:39:15.119
if it if it even was a
fake wall, it just like she not

568
00:39:15.280 --> 00:39:17.440
yeah she said it was like a
false Oh did you call it? Yeah,

569
00:39:17.639 --> 00:39:20.599
it was like a false wall.
It's how she found the safe.

570
00:39:20.719 --> 00:39:23.159
Oh no, no, I'm talking
about the hole she cuts in the safe.

571
00:39:23.239 --> 00:39:24.559
No, no, no, I
know, but I'm just saying,

572
00:39:24.599 --> 00:39:28.400
if, like, when you close
the safe and put the wall back,

573
00:39:28.440 --> 00:39:30.280
it's like, when's the next time
he's going to use the safe? So

574
00:39:30.360 --> 00:39:32.760
yeah, that makes enough sense before
we uh yeah, before we get going

575
00:39:32.800 --> 00:39:37.800
with episode four. So this one
credits again. This one was directed by

576
00:39:37.880 --> 00:39:40.639
Stephen A. Addelson, who has
a bunch of director credits for shows that

577
00:39:40.679 --> 00:39:45.519
are based on movies, like he
has Twelve Monkeys, The Exorcist, Training

578
00:39:45.639 --> 00:39:49.760
Day Limitless. Uh so yeah,
that's the director of this episode, stephen

579
00:39:49.760 --> 00:39:52.239
A addleson, and then it was
written by Penny Cox, who wrote a

580
00:39:52.239 --> 00:39:55.199
couple episodes of Reacher, as well
as wrote episodes of the Scream TV show

581
00:39:55.760 --> 00:40:00.239
that was on HIMTV, and then
a couple episodes of Vampire Daries. Yep,

582
00:40:00.320 --> 00:40:06.039
that's it. Okay, let's uh
get into four now, let's see.

583
00:40:06.320 --> 00:40:08.480
Yeah, so we're into episode four. She's got a gun to her

584
00:40:08.519 --> 00:40:14.079
head. Emma very skillfully talks her
way out of getting shot and casually walks

585
00:40:14.079 --> 00:40:16.519
out the front door. As Luke
rampages onto the scene to try to save

586
00:40:16.559 --> 00:40:22.639
her, he feels a little run
down. Yep, that's an arnold line

587
00:40:22.840 --> 00:40:28.119
after running the security guard over.
There was a good one in episode one,

588
00:40:28.119 --> 00:40:30.119
and I forgot to write it down. I don't know. Alden flirts

589
00:40:30.119 --> 00:40:35.119
with Emma some more on the way
home as Rue gives Barry more romantic advice

590
00:40:35.119 --> 00:40:39.079
about Tina. Luke has a heart
to heart with Emma regarding mutual respect moving

591
00:40:39.159 --> 00:40:44.320
forward between the two of them,
and kind of regarding guilt over cheating on

592
00:40:44.360 --> 00:40:49.320
their partners, ending with basically the
conversation ends with Emma deciding that she may

593
00:40:49.360 --> 00:40:52.000
have to break up with Jay Barroshell. Anyway, when the two of them

594
00:40:52.039 --> 00:40:55.199
get home, Jay Barroshell proposes to
Emma and she immediately says, yes.

595
00:40:55.400 --> 00:40:59.840
I wonder if those rules that he
told Emma about cheating on his wife for

596
00:40:59.880 --> 00:41:02.880
like Arnold's personal rules. Of course
they were. Of course they were that

597
00:41:04.039 --> 00:41:07.079
he brought to the to the production. He's like okay, he's like,

598
00:41:07.119 --> 00:41:08.440
what is this? No, no, you can's why the presence, that's

599
00:41:08.480 --> 00:41:13.800
why that's so much better written than
the rest of the show. So anyway,

600
00:41:14.159 --> 00:41:16.920
yeah, they go home. He
proposes to Emma and she says yes.

601
00:41:17.199 --> 00:41:21.000
I seriously thought he might be a
secret agent after this, just because

602
00:41:21.039 --> 00:41:23.639
I was like, just because the
characters trying so fucking hard, I was

603
00:41:23.679 --> 00:41:27.239
like, okay, wait is yeah, I kind of thought, like I

604
00:41:27.280 --> 00:41:30.679
was like, because I'm waiting for
it like a twist. Yeah, I

605
00:41:30.719 --> 00:41:32.440
am also waiting for a twist,
so it's possible. But so I was

606
00:41:32.440 --> 00:41:36.280
trying to figure out who it is, and I was like, okay,

607
00:41:36.400 --> 00:41:38.800
like, I feel like it might
be jaj Burshall just because he's not connected

608
00:41:38.800 --> 00:41:44.960
to anything else. I have a
suspicion it might be Tina. Tina Okay,

609
00:41:45.079 --> 00:41:47.280
yeah, I could be you know, I'm less convinced of that after

610
00:41:47.280 --> 00:41:52.400
the first two episodes, but I
still it might be who's Tina agent the

611
00:41:52.440 --> 00:41:55.760
guy the lady Barry wants to go
out? Is this going to turn into

612
00:41:55.880 --> 00:42:00.000
a what's that fucking raw deal?
Where you're like, I don't know anybody

613
00:42:00.440 --> 00:42:04.039
name, which I didn't until I
looked it up, Like I didn't know

614
00:42:04.079 --> 00:42:07.800
her name is Tina. I had
to look up Alden's name. And I

615
00:42:07.800 --> 00:42:09.599
did have to look up Alden's name. They say way more than they say

616
00:42:09.639 --> 00:42:13.599
Alden. Yeah, yeah, Okay, So that's why I guess I was

617
00:42:13.639 --> 00:42:16.400
confused by his own outfit there for
a second. So you're you're saying Tina

618
00:42:16.480 --> 00:42:21.000
might be a secret CIA agent,
but no, no, like like it's

619
00:42:21.119 --> 00:42:24.519
double agent. Aaron specifically said he
suspected j Barshell might be a spy because

620
00:42:24.760 --> 00:42:29.639
I got that suspects a twist,
I said, I the first two episodes,

621
00:42:29.679 --> 00:42:31.760
I kind of thought Tina was going
to be the plant and that she

622
00:42:31.920 --> 00:42:35.559
was going to betray them in the
end, and she was getting at them

623
00:42:35.639 --> 00:42:38.719
through Berry. I'm less convinced of
that after episode three and four, but

624
00:42:38.800 --> 00:42:42.679
it's still a possibility in my bat
shit, Okay, I thought you were

625
00:42:42.719 --> 00:42:45.199
saying like she's going to secretly work
for the CIA. I'm like, okay,

626
00:42:46.119 --> 00:42:52.519
twist is that the NSA. I
went for the CIS. She's just

627
00:42:52.519 --> 00:42:53.679
like, she doesn't work for the
NSA. She works for the FBI.

628
00:42:54.039 --> 00:43:01.079
Worst twist ever. And they're like, all right, is that? Okay?

629
00:43:00.480 --> 00:43:05.960
Said that I actually worked for the
FBI, and like and then the

630
00:43:06.360 --> 00:43:10.559
season ends. That's the cliff season
cliffhanger. Yeah that what does that mean?

631
00:43:12.280 --> 00:43:15.480
There's gonna be a lot of paperwork
now, so no one, Joe

632
00:43:15.599 --> 00:43:21.679
like, you're like, everyone's straightforward. I didn't even I haven't thought about

633
00:43:21.679 --> 00:43:24.760
it. He just respects. I
was just now, now, when now

634
00:43:24.800 --> 00:43:27.960
I'm going to be expecting a twist? And then when it happens, is

635
00:43:28.039 --> 00:43:30.000
that gonna be like, oh,
you fucking assholes? I mean, we

636
00:43:30.079 --> 00:43:32.920
will be wrong. The only other
person I'm expecting was Donnie, but I

637
00:43:34.320 --> 00:43:38.199
was it kind of like went away
like after yeah, he's too uh,

638
00:43:38.960 --> 00:43:45.280
yeah, he's too much of a
goober. We cut to Luke and j

639
00:43:45.440 --> 00:43:50.280
Barshell out at sea on Luke's yacht, debating the idea of asking for a

640
00:43:50.360 --> 00:43:54.960
father's blessing, which the conversation essentially
concludes with Luke having a sort of begrudging

641
00:43:55.039 --> 00:44:00.920
respect for Bearshell, okay, so
Joe, did you ask for uh Laura's

642
00:44:00.000 --> 00:44:05.920
dad's blessing when you when you got
married? No? And also blessing is

643
00:44:06.000 --> 00:44:09.840
different than permission. But no,
they wait, what did he say?

644
00:44:09.880 --> 00:44:13.960
Do you say permission or blessing?
No? I think he said blessing.

645
00:44:14.079 --> 00:44:16.480
Blessing. It's usually implied that that
means permission. Okay, yeah, that's

646
00:44:16.480 --> 00:44:21.519
part. And yeah, I asked
the mom and dad. You figure to

647
00:44:21.559 --> 00:44:23.920
ask both of them. That's true. That's true if you're gonna ask for

648
00:44:24.000 --> 00:44:29.079
blessing the women like your wife's thing, what what's up one asking the other

649
00:44:29.159 --> 00:44:32.119
woman's then like you know, sorry, this is me joking. By the

650
00:44:32.159 --> 00:44:37.599
way, this is serious. This
is me joking. I can see her

651
00:44:37.639 --> 00:44:42.159
fingers crossed. I respect Erica so
much that I didn't ask anybody. But

652
00:44:42.320 --> 00:44:46.519
no, they should. I got
the ring from her mom, like you

653
00:44:46.639 --> 00:44:52.519
stole it? Yes, yeah,
off her finger after right fucking elbowed her

654
00:44:52.639 --> 00:44:54.840
back of the head. Good things
she didn't listen to this podcast is she

655
00:44:54.960 --> 00:45:00.519
doesn't know who did that. Also, she has brain damage now, so

656
00:45:00.599 --> 00:45:05.000
should we gets easy? But no, you didn't ask. No, I

657
00:45:05.079 --> 00:45:08.039
mean, obviously they knew and they
were cool with it. Elsie wouldn't have

658
00:45:08.079 --> 00:45:12.360
given me a ring to give to
Laura. Wait, so did you ask

659
00:45:12.440 --> 00:45:16.159
for the ring? I don't exactly
remember how the whole thing came up.

660
00:45:19.840 --> 00:45:22.960
This was nine years ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so I don't

661
00:45:23.000 --> 00:45:27.760
know how it came up. But
yeah, it was Laura's grandma or great

662
00:45:27.800 --> 00:45:34.519
grandma or somebody's ring that. Yeah, but her mom gave it to me

663
00:45:35.199 --> 00:45:38.199
to give to her. So okay, yeah, don't It's like you don't

664
00:45:38.239 --> 00:45:42.280
have to ask for fucking permission or
anything. You know, it's not like

665
00:45:42.280 --> 00:45:45.719
you're gonna get a fucking dowry.
And also, if you were going to

666
00:45:45.760 --> 00:45:49.079
get a dowry, would you then
be into asking permission? Wait? What's

667
00:45:49.079 --> 00:45:52.800
a dowry? It's it's the thing
you get when you marry a lady.

668
00:45:52.239 --> 00:45:59.760
Yeah wait, like it's a medieval
what's a dowry? And in medieval times,

669
00:46:00.519 --> 00:46:05.320
if you we're gonna marry a lady, you got stuff with it.

670
00:46:05.440 --> 00:46:07.840
You got like presents, yeah,
like a couple of cows. Well,

671
00:46:07.920 --> 00:46:10.000
I mean I guess you get that. Now you got you got a pig

672
00:46:10.159 --> 00:46:14.920
and some money, or like some
land or something from her parents. Yeah,

673
00:46:15.079 --> 00:46:17.320
damn, that would be sweet.
Would you rather have the presence that

674
00:46:17.400 --> 00:46:22.159
you got Joe or some land?
Some land? I don't care if we

675
00:46:22.239 --> 00:46:24.880
got presents? Okay, but how
much livestock did you get at the wedding?

676
00:46:25.960 --> 00:46:30.760
Zero? It's bullshit. Yeah,
No, My dowry is supposed to

677
00:46:30.840 --> 00:46:36.760
be a signed bo Jackson baseball that
Laura got when she was like six.

678
00:46:37.360 --> 00:46:42.159
I still haven't gotten it. Yo, you better start getting your her parents

679
00:46:42.199 --> 00:46:45.280
to listen to the podcast that way
that you remember to give you that bo

680
00:46:45.440 --> 00:46:50.320
Jackson. God, I hope they
don't listen to this completely different of me,

681
00:46:51.119 --> 00:46:55.079
but yeah, Also, whoever walks
them down the aisle that gives them

682
00:46:55.079 --> 00:47:02.000
away? Because that's another like old
yuh are patriotic whatever that word is.

683
00:47:04.599 --> 00:47:08.280
Yeah, it's both. It's misogynistic
and patriarchal. Yeah, I mean obviously

684
00:47:08.360 --> 00:47:13.360
you want parents to be cool with
it, but you don't like their permission.

685
00:47:13.440 --> 00:47:16.639
Basically you handle it like uh J
Bearshell did exactly. Okay, yep,

686
00:47:17.400 --> 00:47:20.519
marry here regardless. Hey, Erica, do you think i'd have to

687
00:47:20.519 --> 00:47:23.360
ask your dad for permission? If? I think? Her response was,

688
00:47:23.400 --> 00:47:30.480
I don't know if my dad's old
Okay wait yes, so yeah that would

689
00:47:30.480 --> 00:47:34.360
be a yes right, Like yeah, see, like I wouldn't even think

690
00:47:34.519 --> 00:47:37.639
it wouldn't have been something that I
would have thought about and tell like stuff

691
00:47:37.679 --> 00:47:39.079
like this pops up dru. I'm
like, okay, well maybe I should

692
00:47:39.159 --> 00:47:43.400
ask. The only time I've ever
heard of it is in fucking TV and

693
00:47:43.480 --> 00:47:46.880
movies, Like, real people don't
do this shit. But also, it's

694
00:47:47.159 --> 00:47:52.280
whatever the girl wants. You know, your girl wants. That's true if

695
00:47:52.440 --> 00:47:55.559
if she wants that, but she
would probably tell you that. Yeah.

696
00:47:57.159 --> 00:48:01.760
Anyway, anyway, next we see
Boro wooing the missing scientists to get a

697
00:48:01.840 --> 00:48:07.440
new bomb out of him. Uh
and the scientist tells him that a mini

698
00:48:07.559 --> 00:48:10.360
nuclear reactor is needed, so Boro
sets out to find one, but he

699
00:48:10.480 --> 00:48:14.000
says it's it's not something you can
just find on the street. It's like,

700
00:48:14.039 --> 00:48:15.440
dude, you're talking to a terrorist. Yeah. Also, he had

701
00:48:15.719 --> 00:48:19.360
that's a pretty good comeback. He's
like, I found you on the exactly.

702
00:48:19.440 --> 00:48:22.119
He's like, he's like he's just
been like you realize I'm a terrorist,

703
00:48:22.199 --> 00:48:27.800
right, Like that's what I do. Yeah, I had a thing

704
00:48:27.920 --> 00:48:30.719
that I was supposed to mention.
Wait wait okay, oh yeah, so

705
00:48:31.039 --> 00:48:35.480
uh it was when sorry, it
was when he was talking to Carter on

706
00:48:35.559 --> 00:48:37.679
the boat. I was like,
okay when he's like, it's not a

707
00:48:37.719 --> 00:48:38.599
boat, it's a ship. By
the way, it's not about it's a

708
00:48:38.639 --> 00:48:42.519
ship. Yeah, well you said
that like eighty times exactly. Okay.

709
00:48:42.559 --> 00:48:44.599
By the way, I haven't called
it a boat, I've called it a

710
00:48:44.679 --> 00:48:47.159
yat. True. There should be
a drinking game for the show, can

711
00:48:47.280 --> 00:48:51.679
sting of the lines it's not about
as a ship and that's it, and

712
00:48:51.760 --> 00:48:54.199
that's all. Yeah, that's it
and that's all and then the okay,

713
00:48:54.280 --> 00:48:57.920
so the next one is uh,
no, I got him written down.

714
00:48:58.119 --> 00:49:02.039
Oh okay. Uh the briefing scene. Anytime there's a briefing scene, you

715
00:49:02.119 --> 00:49:06.840
take a drink. True, anytime
Barry makes a nerdy reference, take a

716
00:49:06.920 --> 00:49:10.159
drink there. Oh god, you'd
be smashed by the end of episode one.

717
00:49:12.599 --> 00:49:15.679
But the briefing scene, you're like
a drink, drink until a brief

718
00:49:15.760 --> 00:49:19.960
scen ends. That's like a chug. Yeah. Anyway, we go back

719
00:49:20.000 --> 00:49:24.719
to Emma's engagement party with the whole
team undercover. Bearroschelle meets the team,

720
00:49:24.920 --> 00:49:30.159
including a very aggressive Alden, tally
reveals that she quit her job, so

721
00:49:30.320 --> 00:49:34.719
Luke jumps on the opportunity and hires
her to work at his fitness equipment business,

722
00:49:35.119 --> 00:49:38.480
which is like his cover story.
Rude tries to help Barry cozy up

723
00:49:38.519 --> 00:49:44.079
to Tina by basically giving him pick
up artist advice. Meanwhile, Emma tries

724
00:49:44.119 --> 00:49:46.679
to jump Jay Barrowshell, partially to
keep him away from all the spies,

725
00:49:46.719 --> 00:49:51.199
but also to try desperately to find
something she likes. And she tells him

726
00:49:51.280 --> 00:49:58.079
the line which line like in uh, I can't yes that line, but

727
00:49:58.280 --> 00:50:04.880
in the line that Alden tells her
in oh yes HELI or something like that,

728
00:50:05.079 --> 00:50:07.480
Yeah, but she says the same
line, which he says that he

729
00:50:07.679 --> 00:50:12.199
doesn't ever mean. Yeah, So
she says it to him, which I

730
00:50:12.239 --> 00:50:14.639
didn't catch until the second time I
watched this, and I was like,

731
00:50:14.760 --> 00:50:17.199
oh, I'm assuming that, which
I'm like, I'm still rooting for Jabers.

732
00:50:17.239 --> 00:50:20.559
So just because I wanted to like
not turn out the weight, like

733
00:50:20.679 --> 00:50:23.159
I just wanted to surprise me in
some way. But like it's they're pushed.

734
00:50:23.159 --> 00:50:25.320
They're pushing it to where it just
kind of seems like she's not into

735
00:50:25.400 --> 00:50:29.639
them. Yeah, she clearly,
let's see. Then we cut to a

736
00:50:29.719 --> 00:50:32.440
therapy session where Luke and Emma Roll
play each other as puppets, and despite

737
00:50:32.480 --> 00:50:36.400
how stupid it is, I fucking
love it every single time. Like I

738
00:50:36.599 --> 00:50:39.360
love puppets for some reason, Like
puppet humor is just funny to me.

739
00:50:39.440 --> 00:50:45.000
As far as puppets are funny,
the Arnold puppet is especially funny. He's

740
00:50:45.039 --> 00:50:49.400
got the gigantic chin and forehead.
Yeah, she's doing the voice too,

741
00:50:49.559 --> 00:50:51.800
but like, I don't know,
the chin gets me. I don't know

742
00:50:51.840 --> 00:51:00.199
what. Yeah, he Arnold doing
her voice and also doing Arnold's voice in

743
00:51:00.320 --> 00:51:06.119
her voice. There's just And the
great thing is how it starts off to

744
00:51:06.199 --> 00:51:10.079
where the therapist, who is Scott
Thompson. I think the therapist introduces it

745
00:51:10.280 --> 00:51:13.840
and Emma's like, we're not going
to do this is stupid, and then

746
00:51:13.880 --> 00:51:16.599
you see here Art like breaking with
with her. Ernold immediately does it.

747
00:51:16.760 --> 00:51:22.159
Yeah, it's great. He has
been desperate to do this, Yeah,

748
00:51:22.280 --> 00:51:25.760
exactly. Like, by the way, this is which we're gonna end up

749
00:51:25.760 --> 00:51:30.360
talking about in the next episode.
But this is uh. One of the

750
00:51:30.480 --> 00:51:34.400
things that some of the reviews had
a problem with, which was this puppet

751
00:51:34.400 --> 00:51:35.719
scene, which I was like,
what are you talking about? This is

752
00:51:36.159 --> 00:51:38.960
this is great? Are you talking
about of all the therapy scenes, this

753
00:51:39.119 --> 00:51:43.480
is my favorite one and the only
one that like played its actually funny.

754
00:51:44.119 --> 00:51:45.639
Yeah oh yeah. So in the
next sorry, the next episode, we're

755
00:51:45.639 --> 00:51:47.320
going to look back at, like
I want to look back at some of

756
00:51:47.360 --> 00:51:52.480
the reviews and like see what the
critics have problems with as opposed to like

757
00:51:52.559 --> 00:51:55.440
what we after after we finished the
series. Yeah, the therapy session ends

758
00:51:55.519 --> 00:52:00.280
because there's another mission briefing where the
team plans to set up a fake sale

759
00:52:00.480 --> 00:52:05.800
of the mini reactor that Boro needs
to trap him. Uh. They decide

760
00:52:05.840 --> 00:52:09.639
to use a black market dealer named
nicknamed the Great Dane, who Rue hates

761
00:52:09.719 --> 00:52:14.320
because he accidentally shot off her toe, which was a good call not showing

762
00:52:14.360 --> 00:52:16.960
the toe, I think, yeah, But also I don't know that joke

763
00:52:17.000 --> 00:52:21.320
didn't really land for me because it's
like, I don't know, it's it's

764
00:52:21.360 --> 00:52:23.039
a missing toe. How gross could
it be? And everybody's playing it up.

765
00:52:23.079 --> 00:52:25.239
It's like it's the most disgusting thing. I don't know, look up

766
00:52:25.280 --> 00:52:28.960
gross toe and google. No,
no, no, no no. There's

767
00:52:29.000 --> 00:52:32.800
a difference between a fucking a toe
with necrotizing fasci itis and fucking just a

768
00:52:32.960 --> 00:52:37.039
missing toe. That's not the same
fucking thing. True, well, no,

769
00:52:37.199 --> 00:52:39.599
it wasn't that. It was there
was a nail growing out of the

770
00:52:39.760 --> 00:52:44.199
stump. Sure, how is that
different than a toe? What is a

771
00:52:44.280 --> 00:52:46.079
toe but a stump? Maybe?
No, it's supposed to be like a

772
00:52:46.159 --> 00:52:51.880
big nail, right, yeah,
yeah, but it was like a nail

773
00:52:52.039 --> 00:52:54.079
just coming Like if you had like
a nail coming out of the side of

774
00:52:54.119 --> 00:52:58.000
your hand or something, that'd be
pretty gross. That's kind of what I

775
00:52:58.039 --> 00:53:00.679
look like. Yeah, all right, that's just in the land for me.

776
00:53:00.880 --> 00:53:05.440
But anyway, back at Luke's fitness
store front, Tally meets two dickheads

777
00:53:05.480 --> 00:53:10.400
who raised suspicions about Arnold's legitimacy in
the fitness world. We are at cia

778
00:53:10.719 --> 00:53:15.599
HQ. We find out that the
Dane is in the middle of a prison

779
00:53:15.719 --> 00:53:17.639
sentence, so somebody will have to
take his place for a night while the

780
00:53:17.639 --> 00:53:23.840
fake deal takes place. Barry volunteers
to impress Tina. At the end of

781
00:53:23.920 --> 00:53:28.519
the meeting, Luke confronts al Din
about how he acted at the engagement party

782
00:53:28.599 --> 00:53:30.519
and kind of accuses him of trying
to get with Emma. On the way

783
00:53:30.639 --> 00:53:35.599
to the prison, Tally calls Luke
to talk about her suspicions, and he

784
00:53:35.719 --> 00:53:37.920
does not do a great job of
reassuring her. Oh that the team is

785
00:53:37.960 --> 00:53:43.840
on a plane another drink, Yeah, that plane ride? Does a plane

786
00:53:43.920 --> 00:53:46.039
ride? Take a drink? Barry
gets cold feet, but is forced to

787
00:53:46.079 --> 00:53:50.840
go anyway, and the Dane is
successfully broken out of his cell. And

788
00:53:51.679 --> 00:53:53.360
this is like one of the few
notes I took like I bothered to take

789
00:53:53.440 --> 00:53:59.280
on the during my summary, which
is I just want to note that when

790
00:53:59.400 --> 00:54:05.119
Barry breaks into the cell, he
like uses his like secret spy acid to

791
00:54:05.199 --> 00:54:08.599
dissolve the molding around a particular brick
to break to the cell. He pushes

792
00:54:08.719 --> 00:54:15.719
the brick out of the wall onto
the Dane's pillow on his bed, without

793
00:54:15.800 --> 00:54:21.199
having any idea that the Dane's head
would not be there. For all he

794
00:54:21.320 --> 00:54:23.079
know, he was pushing that brick
like he didn't know where he was pushing

795
00:54:23.119 --> 00:54:27.239
the brick, but that brick absolutely
could have landed right on his fucking head

796
00:54:27.920 --> 00:54:30.079
killed him. It might not have, but it probably wouldn't make for a

797
00:54:30.119 --> 00:54:34.360
great mission. H I just think
that was That's the thing I noticed that

798
00:54:34.400 --> 00:54:37.280
I thought was funny. One of
the reviews I was reading was basically saying

799
00:54:37.320 --> 00:54:39.079
that this dude who plays the Dane
did a cameo? Do ever you know

800
00:54:39.119 --> 00:54:42.880
who he is? I don't know
who he is. I like him.

801
00:54:42.960 --> 00:54:45.119
He's funny, Yeah, he's funny. Like I don't have a problem with

802
00:54:45.199 --> 00:54:46.920
him. I was just curious,
like I was like, wait, because

803
00:54:47.119 --> 00:54:51.960
they I think it was like the
whoever does the reviews on Roger Ebert's website

804
00:54:52.000 --> 00:54:58.360
now said that it was like a
cameo or a guest appearance or something like

805
00:54:58.400 --> 00:55:01.320
that. I'm like, wait,
who what's his name? His name is

806
00:55:01.719 --> 00:55:07.960
Adam Pally or Polly. Oh,
I've heard of it. Why I've heard

807
00:55:07.960 --> 00:55:09.719
of Adam Pally? He is like
a comedian. He might have a podcast.

808
00:55:09.800 --> 00:55:14.440
I don't know. Yeah, he's
like Gary the cameraman in arm Man

809
00:55:14.519 --> 00:55:19.960
three. Oh is he? Yeah? But I yeah, I was just

810
00:55:20.119 --> 00:55:22.079
it was because I was like,
wait, I've never heard Maybe he's a

811
00:55:22.119 --> 00:55:24.239
writer. I don't remember anyway,
Like I've heard the name before. But

812
00:55:24.519 --> 00:55:28.480
I just I don't know why that's
a cameo. Oh yeah, he was

813
00:55:28.559 --> 00:55:32.719
in Sonic. Yeah. But was
he the deputy Wade? He says Wade.

814
00:55:34.159 --> 00:55:37.679
Yeah, he was the other the
other cop that worked with Chiles Carston.

815
00:55:37.039 --> 00:55:40.679
Okay, so they break the Dane
out of his cell. Luke and

816
00:55:40.800 --> 00:55:45.079
the Dane get dark knighted off the
prison roof as Barry does his job by

817
00:55:45.199 --> 00:55:50.760
pushing a meal tray through a door
and has a nice conversation with Tino Uh.

818
00:55:51.239 --> 00:55:53.119
Luke promises to keep the Dane out
of prison if he helps him with

819
00:55:53.199 --> 00:55:57.159
Borow, which he gladly agrees to
so that he can see his wife and

820
00:55:57.239 --> 00:56:02.119
child back in America. Tallygins looking
into Luke's past fitness sales, which kind

821
00:56:02.159 --> 00:56:07.320
of alerts the CIA that Luke is
making terrible decisions by hiring his ex wife.

822
00:56:07.559 --> 00:56:13.559
Boro takes the bait, sets up
a meeting with the Dane as Barry

823
00:56:13.679 --> 00:56:17.519
con As Barry continues to connect with
Tina, Luke and Emma argue a little

824
00:56:17.559 --> 00:56:22.920
bit more about Jay Barroshell while loading
up the reactor, when suddenly their car

825
00:56:22.199 --> 00:56:28.440
and the reactor is stolen. Luke
forces the Dane to call Borrow and postpone

826
00:56:28.480 --> 00:56:30.800
the meeting, but he only gets
some. He only gets them thirty extra

827
00:56:30.920 --> 00:56:36.800
minutes, so Luke decides to scrub
the mission and put the Dane back in

828
00:56:36.880 --> 00:56:40.039
prison, but the Dane runs for
it after hearing this, leaving Barry and

829
00:56:40.159 --> 00:56:44.800
the mission screwed. And that is
where episode four ends, and that is

830
00:56:44.880 --> 00:56:49.159
where the summary for today ends.
Okay, which I already mentioned it Chris

831
00:56:49.199 --> 00:56:51.920
again because he pretty much had to
explain the last part of it to me

832
00:56:52.000 --> 00:56:53.559
because I didn't watch the last fifteen
minutes. I mean I did, I

833
00:56:53.679 --> 00:56:55.920
did last night, but I was
trying to write I didn't do it the

834
00:56:55.960 --> 00:57:01.360
second time. Yeah. So scene
ends, and like he writes on the

835
00:57:01.440 --> 00:57:05.880
mirror, Basically, he's in the
bathroom and when they go to tell him

836
00:57:05.920 --> 00:57:07.599
that they have to take him back
to prison, he's already gone and out

837
00:57:07.639 --> 00:57:10.760
the window, and on the mirror
he leaves a message, which is you

838
00:57:12.000 --> 00:57:15.679
changed the deal, he writes on
the mirror, because apparently the audience is

839
00:57:15.719 --> 00:57:20.760
too stupid to figure out what happened. Yeah. Again, it's the problems

840
00:57:20.800 --> 00:57:22.400
that I have with the show.
It treats the audience like a little kid.

841
00:57:23.239 --> 00:57:27.320
Anything to mention before I have like
two notes. All right, I

842
00:57:27.360 --> 00:57:30.800
guess I'll start. As far as
this show goes, I am enjoying it

843
00:57:30.960 --> 00:57:37.920
very much. Like I think the
comedic acting is done well. I think

844
00:57:37.840 --> 00:57:42.719
like the story and everything and just
kind of the absurdist I guess, almost

845
00:57:42.920 --> 00:57:46.480
satire of kind of my stuff is
very well. I think the people are

846
00:57:46.559 --> 00:57:52.119
funny. I don't think a lot
of what they're saying is funny, but

847
00:57:52.360 --> 00:57:54.679
that doesn't like the dad jokes are
no, No, the dad jokes are

848
00:57:54.719 --> 00:57:58.519
great. So like, what do
you mean as far as like what they're

849
00:57:58.519 --> 00:58:02.760
saying. I totally agree with that. No, they say stuff in funny

850
00:58:02.800 --> 00:58:07.480
ways, but there's no like joke
to it, you know, and it's

851
00:58:07.480 --> 00:58:09.280
supposed to be a joke, but
there's not a joke, but it's said

852
00:58:09.360 --> 00:58:13.719
like a joke. Okay, it
like the is it? Sorry, I'm

853
00:58:13.760 --> 00:58:17.199
curious, I'm being I'm not playing
stupid, I'm actually being stupid, Like

854
00:58:17.559 --> 00:58:20.920
is it like that stuff? Because
like, the only stuff that I don't

855
00:58:21.000 --> 00:58:23.320
find super funny, Like I really
I'm enjoying the show so far. Like

856
00:58:23.400 --> 00:58:25.920
I said, the only stuff that
I don't find super funny is the references

857
00:58:25.960 --> 00:58:30.679
from Barry about like just references to
old movies from like Okay, that's not

858
00:58:30.840 --> 00:58:34.519
really funny anymore. Just that's the
stuff I don't find funny. But I

859
00:58:35.280 --> 00:58:37.920
tend to agree with Joe. I
think the show is trying to be funny,

860
00:58:37.079 --> 00:58:43.599
Like the show thinks seventy five to
eighty five percent of its lines are

861
00:58:43.840 --> 00:58:49.239
funny, okay, and I think
that the performances make about sixty percent of

862
00:58:49.320 --> 00:58:53.480
the lines funny. And it's just
like the thing, like like he said,

863
00:58:53.519 --> 00:58:58.679
the things that it's presenting, our
jokes are not either they're not jokes

864
00:58:58.800 --> 00:59:00.840
or they're just not as funny is
they think they are. And it's really

865
00:59:00.920 --> 00:59:05.679
the performance is selling it more than
anything else. Okay, I'm gonna have

866
00:59:05.679 --> 00:59:08.559
to get it. Try to think
of examples for the next episode this because

867
00:59:08.559 --> 00:59:13.039
I'm I will I will write down
actual examples. Okay, cool, Yeah,

868
00:59:13.719 --> 00:59:16.239
okay, yeah, that's my homework. Okay, I'm just curious.

869
00:59:16.239 --> 00:59:21.239
Sorry, I'm not trying to I'm
just actually I'm actually curious just because like

870
00:59:21.840 --> 00:59:24.199
I'm curious, what like what instant
instances you guys mean, because like I'm

871
00:59:24.280 --> 00:59:29.119
sure I might have noticed it,
but I can't think of stuff like specific

872
00:59:29.440 --> 00:59:35.039
examples. I feel like Rue says
a lot of that, and she does

873
00:59:35.119 --> 00:59:39.079
a lot of that. Yeah,
so she was like some toe stuff just

874
00:59:39.159 --> 00:59:42.960
off the top of my head,
But that stuff I didn't really find funny,

875
00:59:42.960 --> 00:59:45.960
but a lot of her jokes I'm
like, like, well, I

876
00:59:45.000 --> 00:59:46.960
don't know, Yeah, I mean
she has a lot of jokes, but

877
00:59:47.199 --> 00:59:51.800
there's just especially with her and Alden, a lot of the stuff that they

878
00:59:51.880 --> 00:59:53.320
say is set up like it's a
joke, but yeah, there's not a

879
00:59:53.440 --> 00:59:58.599
joke there, which I'm not saying
is the problem, but like, you

880
00:59:58.679 --> 01:00:01.960
know, the show would be in
the next stratosphere if you know they those

881
01:00:02.039 --> 01:00:06.760
jokes were actually funny, and you
know, you guys mentioned the dialogue and

882
01:00:06.840 --> 01:00:08.519
I guess some of its force,
like I'm not you know, it's not

883
01:00:08.639 --> 01:00:14.639
the fucking wire or some shit.
But overall, like I'm just really enjoying

884
01:00:14.679 --> 01:00:17.360
the show, Like it's glad to
see Arnold, Like this is the best

885
01:00:17.400 --> 01:00:22.000
thing he's had to work with.
And what like twenty years, I can't

886
01:00:22.000 --> 01:00:25.519
think of anything that's I remember not
minding the Last Stand, but we again

887
01:00:25.559 --> 01:00:29.280
on rewatch. Also, yeah,
there's some other stuff I haven't watched,

888
01:00:29.320 --> 01:00:31.360
Like I haven't watched the Last Stand. I heard Killing Gun through as good

889
01:00:31.639 --> 01:00:35.320
and I haven't seen it, but
still like, well from what we've seen,

890
01:00:35.360 --> 01:00:37.840
yes, the last Yeah, yeah, this is probably the best thing

891
01:00:37.840 --> 01:00:42.440
he's done with ten twenty years.
Yeah, it's and you know, like

892
01:00:42.599 --> 01:00:46.519
he's he's still got it. He's
not like the super charismatic. Yeah,

893
01:00:46.719 --> 01:00:51.880
ripped action star like he was in
the eighties and nineties, but like he

894
01:00:52.039 --> 01:00:57.320
still can lead a project and be
entertaining and funny and you know, just

895
01:00:57.440 --> 01:01:00.840
be fucking Arnold. So I'm enjoying
that. It makes me very happy that

896
01:01:01.840 --> 01:01:06.679
this show is not a complete disaster. Some people might disagree, but you

897
01:01:06.760 --> 01:01:10.239
know what, I have a podcast
about Arnold stuff, and uh, I'm

898
01:01:10.280 --> 01:01:14.559
watching this and I'm not like getting
mad like I do with some of the

899
01:01:14.639 --> 01:01:16.800
other ship that he's in, or
just being like like, I'm enjoying it.

900
01:01:16.960 --> 01:01:21.960
So you know what, fuck off
critics you can. Oh, I

901
01:01:21.960 --> 01:01:23.719
thought he was going to say my
name, my balls. Well yeah,

902
01:01:23.840 --> 01:01:27.199
like, uh with what you were
saying. I can't remember what it was,

903
01:01:27.280 --> 01:01:30.119
but I had a point. Oh
sorry, yes, I know what

904
01:01:30.199 --> 01:01:32.760
it was. It's you said like
he was trying to like he was doing

905
01:01:32.800 --> 01:01:37.360
the same thing that he used to
do, but he updated I wouldn't say

906
01:01:37.400 --> 01:01:40.039
updated it. But he's playing he's
not trying to play the same type of

907
01:01:42.800 --> 01:01:45.760
role that he was in the early
nineties when he was younger. He realizes

908
01:01:45.800 --> 01:01:49.679
that he's older now, which I
know here he did with Terminator on Lot,

909
01:01:49.800 --> 01:01:52.760
so he's okay with the aging thing, which is nice, like he's

910
01:01:52.800 --> 01:01:57.159
not trying to still play the same
like consummate good guy like you knows everything

911
01:01:57.199 --> 01:02:00.159
and great all the time. We'll
never fus he still is in this,

912
01:02:00.320 --> 01:02:06.880
but like he's he's aged with it
to where it's like it's still making fun

913
01:02:06.920 --> 01:02:09.280
of his age with it, like
he's I think he's he's doing all this

914
01:02:09.519 --> 01:02:14.000
quite gracefully. And yes, he
knows when to make fun of himself.

915
01:02:14.519 --> 01:02:17.159
He knows, Yeah, it's he
knows what is funny about him being an

916
01:02:17.199 --> 01:02:21.679
old guy in an action thing.
Yes, thank you. Yeah, And

917
01:02:22.000 --> 01:02:24.760
I think to add on to your
point, there we go, that's a

918
01:02:24.880 --> 01:02:30.360
smaller word I can. Like he's
especially in like his prime, you know,

919
01:02:30.519 --> 01:02:34.679
his character was like always right.
Yes, you're like even if stuff

920
01:02:34.679 --> 01:02:37.199
didn't work out, which is always
like you know, the indact or whatever,

921
01:02:37.320 --> 01:02:42.159
like he was always right and righteous
and like doing what the audience like

922
01:02:42.239 --> 01:02:44.880
we wanted him to do. You
know, we're like, yeah, he's

923
01:02:44.920 --> 01:02:46.679
doing he's doing the right thing.
And then this he's you know, he's

924
01:02:47.360 --> 01:02:52.280
kind of not like obviously stopping like
terrorists and you know, nuclear bombs and

925
01:02:52.280 --> 01:02:53.199
shit is right, but you know, like when it comes to the fan,

926
01:02:53.320 --> 01:02:55.400
like you know, spying on well, I guess, and he did

927
01:02:55.480 --> 01:02:58.760
that in True Life too. That
was bad. Yeah, but they they

928
01:02:58.840 --> 01:03:01.280
do establish in the first episode,
like like, yes, he tried to

929
01:03:01.360 --> 01:03:06.119
help Borrow after he killed his dad, but he also created one of the

930
01:03:06.159 --> 01:03:08.920
most dangerous terrorists on the planet by
doing so, like he paid for all

931
01:03:08.960 --> 01:03:14.400
his schooling and shit, and like
gave him an origin story basically yeah,

932
01:03:14.559 --> 01:03:16.079
and so it's like, yeah,
that shit comes back to haunt you sometimes.

933
01:03:16.119 --> 01:03:20.199
And he's not always right with Emma
either, like he he has to

934
01:03:20.440 --> 01:03:22.719
like every other episode he has to
admit, like, yeah, I was

935
01:03:22.800 --> 01:03:25.960
wrong about that. So this showed
me kind of made me wish that I

936
01:03:27.159 --> 01:03:29.320
was close to James Cameron, so
I get his thoughts on it. But

937
01:03:29.960 --> 01:03:34.760
basically because this is basically like a
True Lives remake without being a remake,

938
01:03:34.960 --> 01:03:38.079
like not a remake, but like
a soft sequel. Yeah, mostly because

939
01:03:38.079 --> 01:03:42.760
we've kind of already seen how protective
he is about his IP, even though

940
01:03:42.760 --> 01:03:45.039
he pretends not to be so,
Like, I'm curious his thoughts on this

941
01:03:45.280 --> 01:03:49.840
just because he is, so I
wonder how protective he is of True Lives,

942
01:03:50.039 --> 01:03:52.960
Like, do you know I don't
I feel like he's like that with

943
01:03:52.079 --> 01:03:57.760
anything he does. I totally agree, except the only maybe aliens. The

944
01:03:58.239 --> 01:04:01.280
only thing reason I don't feel like
he's that protected for true lies because that's

945
01:04:01.320 --> 01:04:05.480
already kind of a spy parody.
Yeah, it's a it's a well done

946
01:04:05.519 --> 01:04:11.000
spy parody, but I don't think
he it does not reak to me of

947
01:04:11.159 --> 01:04:14.199
like a super original idea, And
so yeah, I don't. I don't

948
01:04:14.239 --> 01:04:17.079
know how you know, protective he
is over that the basic idea of a

949
01:04:17.119 --> 01:04:21.559
spy parody this show Fubar is to
true lies or true lies is the raw

950
01:04:21.639 --> 01:04:29.880
deal? He just took that that
idea raw deal undercover? Oh yeah,

951
01:04:30.039 --> 01:04:33.960
Arnold or some alphabet. I guess
he was just in the police or whatever

952
01:04:34.599 --> 01:04:42.199
undercover. I think he wouldn't be
except for it's really close, Like it

953
01:04:42.360 --> 01:04:45.199
is super close. I totally get. But I think the only reason for

954
01:04:45.639 --> 01:04:47.800
like I think he might not be
I don't know that. Like I'm I'm

955
01:04:47.840 --> 01:04:51.679
assuming the guy also can't keep his
mouth shut, so I'm assuming eventually we're

956
01:04:51.679 --> 01:04:55.800
gonna hear what he thinks about the
show. Also, I'm guessing, I

957
01:04:55.840 --> 01:04:59.840
don't know. I assume Arnold is
like, oh, he's I know,

958
01:05:00.079 --> 01:05:01.920
they're they're cool. Yeah, right, they are close. Like, so

959
01:05:02.239 --> 01:05:05.719
I assume Arnold would have at least
mentioned it to him, and like,

960
01:05:06.039 --> 01:05:09.599
yeah, he probably was. He
probably wasn't super pissed about it. No,

961
01:05:09.679 --> 01:05:11.840
he probably pulled the same thing to
a terminator. Yeah, go ahead,

962
01:05:11.880 --> 01:05:14.679
do what you want to do,
like yeah, yeah, like until

963
01:05:14.719 --> 01:05:16.559
he sees it and he's like,
what the fuck is this? Like me

964
01:05:16.760 --> 01:05:19.639
with Genesis to where he's like he's
like, no, Like I when I

965
01:05:19.719 --> 01:05:23.039
when I meant go for it,
I meant like, do it the way

966
01:05:23.079 --> 01:05:25.079
that I want to do it.
I didn't I want to do it,

967
01:05:25.559 --> 01:05:28.039
but I meant to do it the
way I want to do it. But

968
01:05:28.119 --> 01:05:31.320
anyway, so just say what you
mean, James Cameron. No, I

969
01:05:31.400 --> 01:05:34.760
mean, we might hear from him
once he like swims his way up out

970
01:05:34.800 --> 01:05:40.320
of his giant pile of money he
has screws my duck, Like, he

971
01:05:40.400 --> 01:05:43.199
gets lost in that ship pretty fast. So yeah, it takes a while

972
01:05:43.239 --> 01:05:46.559
to swim back up. There's no
way that someone's not gonna eventually ask him

973
01:05:46.559 --> 01:05:48.960
about that. But so I'm curious
to hear what he thinks about it.

974
01:05:49.000 --> 01:05:54.119
But also my biggest problem with to
show that like this far is that pretty

975
01:05:54.199 --> 01:05:57.559
much everything is explained through dialogue instead
of shown. Yeah, like there's a

976
01:05:57.599 --> 01:06:00.760
big there's a big lot of dialogue
and a lot of it exposition, the

977
01:06:00.800 --> 01:06:04.159
biggest example probably being that barstying with
Emma's attempt to seduce the dude, Like

978
01:06:04.239 --> 01:06:06.800
you pretty much have the team in
your ear pretty much explaining what's going on,

979
01:06:08.400 --> 01:06:11.719
as well as Alden reminding Emma,
like which I kind of mentioned before,

980
01:06:11.880 --> 01:06:14.840
that she has to be invited back
to the guy's place after and ask

981
01:06:15.320 --> 01:06:18.639
her asking why she has to for
some like like I said, this would

982
01:06:18.679 --> 01:06:21.519
have been better if she was a
new agent that would explain that. That

983
01:06:21.559 --> 01:06:26.559
would make sense for all the like
explanation, explanation, explanation for all the

984
01:06:26.559 --> 01:06:30.119
stuff that's going on. But that's
pretty much only problem otherwise. I really

985
01:06:30.320 --> 01:06:32.559
like, I'm enjoying the show a
lot. Like I It's it's super fun.

986
01:06:32.760 --> 01:06:36.280
It's the cliffhanger thing is also fun
because you're like, oh, crap,

987
01:06:36.320 --> 01:06:39.679
now I gotta watch that next episode. It's not like it's not like

988
01:06:39.760 --> 01:06:42.159
a crap, I gotta watch the
next episode, Like you're like a crap.

989
01:06:42.239 --> 01:06:44.079
I wanted to go to bed.
I gotta watch the next episode,

990
01:06:44.880 --> 01:06:48.880
so and and yeah, it's not
like loss, where it's like Cliffanger Loss

991
01:06:49.079 --> 01:06:53.199
and then like three episodes later they
finally get to it, yes, or

992
01:06:53.760 --> 01:06:56.719
just you have to wait another fucking
week if it's you know, yeah,

993
01:06:56.960 --> 01:06:59.519
this shit all came out at once. So yeah, that's that's nice.

994
01:06:59.800 --> 01:07:03.840
But I'm actually really enjoying the episode. I like all the characters so far,

995
01:07:03.880 --> 01:07:10.320
and I actually noticed anything that I
was like, not even not liking.

996
01:07:10.400 --> 01:07:14.559
It's just like stuff that I noticed
that's writing, stuff that could have

997
01:07:14.639 --> 01:07:17.599
been fixed changed a little bit,
which is the second time watching it,

998
01:07:17.679 --> 01:07:23.000
and it's just like little like nitpicky
things with like I mentioned, like the

999
01:07:23.280 --> 01:07:26.639
very character and like making so many
references and stuff, which I get,

1000
01:07:26.840 --> 01:07:30.079
Yes, I get it, he's
a nerd. The it's all again trope

1001
01:07:30.119 --> 01:07:32.559
stuff to where it's like the Tina
character which I didn't even know her name,

1002
01:07:32.639 --> 01:07:35.360
and a SA girl which I didn't
know her name, and just her

1003
01:07:35.800 --> 01:07:41.639
quiet like it's again just that stuff
towards like little fixes. But also it

1004
01:07:41.719 --> 01:07:46.000
doesn't really matter. It's fine.
So I'm actually enjoying the show for now.

1005
01:07:46.199 --> 01:07:51.119
Chris, how do you enjoying the
show so I'm just like up Top.

1006
01:07:51.960 --> 01:07:56.719
I definitely got some biases against this
show. I am a bigger fan

1007
01:07:56.800 --> 01:08:00.639
of movies than TV. I don't
do well with TV. It it always

1008
01:08:00.719 --> 01:08:03.360
feels overly drawn out to me,
or pretty much always except for like the

1009
01:08:03.480 --> 01:08:08.159
very best TV shows? Uh on
what You've never even seen the wires?

1010
01:08:08.199 --> 01:08:10.760
So how do you know what the
very best TV shows are? Wait?

1011
01:08:10.800 --> 01:08:13.920
Wait? Wait wait? What would
you say V shows plural? What would

1012
01:08:13.960 --> 01:08:15.520
you say you're as far as what
are you talking about? As far as

1013
01:08:15.600 --> 01:08:18.880
like the best TV shows? I
don't even know. Man, I watched

1014
01:08:18.920 --> 01:08:23.880
so little TV that I like,
I'm talking about, like Night Court.

1015
01:08:25.960 --> 01:08:30.039
I prefer sitcoms because I just you
know, you can watch and pick them

1016
01:08:30.119 --> 01:08:32.239
up and drop them exactly. I
can. I can just tune in or

1017
01:08:32.279 --> 01:08:36.520
out whenever I want to. It's
you know, I watch a lot of

1018
01:08:36.560 --> 01:08:42.319
animation. You know, it's it's
kids shows technically, but like well written

1019
01:08:42.399 --> 01:08:45.760
kids shows like Avatar, Airvender,
Yeah, and stuff like that, Simpsons

1020
01:08:45.800 --> 01:08:50.079
obviously, but stuff like that.
I know that there are better shows out

1021
01:08:50.119 --> 01:08:54.199
there, that there are good dramas
out there. I just am not hour

1022
01:08:54.279 --> 01:08:56.520
long dramas are hard for me to
sit through. A lot of the time.

1023
01:08:57.119 --> 01:09:00.039
Okay, just it's just a preference
thing. It's not even like it's

1024
01:09:00.079 --> 01:09:02.760
not like they're bad. Every time
I sit down and watch an episode of

1025
01:09:02.800 --> 01:09:08.039
Breaking Bad, I get thoroughly sucked
in and I know how good it is.

1026
01:09:08.199 --> 01:09:10.560
But like, I've never sat down
and watched the whole show. I

1027
01:09:10.720 --> 01:09:14.359
just I won't make it through.
But anyway, the point is, I

1028
01:09:14.760 --> 01:09:17.880
know I have a bias going into
the show. I don't prefer TV shows.

1029
01:09:18.239 --> 01:09:24.359
I also really hate the binge model
of TV shows, where they expect

1030
01:09:24.439 --> 01:09:29.039
you to watch everything one right after
the other. I think that binge TV

1031
01:09:29.159 --> 01:09:32.119
shows are manipulative. I think the
cliffhanger thing that they do at the end

1032
01:09:32.159 --> 01:09:35.920
of every episode is manipulative. I
think it's bullshit. I think the episode

1033
01:09:35.960 --> 01:09:44.199
should end basically five minutes later every
episode. The beginning of every episode should

1034
01:09:44.239 --> 01:09:46.640
be the end of the last episode. They're doing that just to qual the

1035
01:09:46.680 --> 01:09:49.920
payoffs. Never yeah, the payoffs
not that interesting. So like, so,

1036
01:09:50.039 --> 01:09:57.039
yeah, you're talking prequel a Ridge
Trige and not like sequel trilogy and

1037
01:09:58.439 --> 01:10:00.960
the forest awakens, Yes, than
a cliffhanger. It's not how Star Wars

1038
01:10:01.039 --> 01:10:05.319
works. J. J. Abrams. It's where Yeah, it's where Luke

1039
01:10:05.359 --> 01:10:09.359
throws the white super Oh yeah,
yeah, that's that's where the second one

1040
01:10:09.399 --> 01:10:11.439
starts. The first one, she
gets to the island, it's like,

1041
01:10:11.560 --> 01:10:13.800
well, she hands it to Oh, that's right. She just hands it

1042
01:10:13.840 --> 01:10:15.159
to him, or she tries to
hand I don't even know if she hands

1043
01:10:15.199 --> 01:10:17.680
it to him. I think she
just stands there. She just holds it

1044
01:10:17.720 --> 01:10:21.359
out and he turned around. He
just turn and like the camera goes around

1045
01:10:21.399 --> 01:10:26.720
and it's like Star Wars. But
anyway, I think the drop everything at

1046
01:10:26.760 --> 01:10:31.079
once and expect you to binge the
entire thing. The way they structure things

1047
01:10:31.159 --> 01:10:36.239
when they do that makes actively makes
shows worse. So it's there's a structural

1048
01:10:36.279 --> 01:10:41.399
problem that I have with the show
anyway. But for the most part,

1049
01:10:41.680 --> 01:10:45.199
I'm pretty bored by the show.
I think it's super paint by numbers,

1050
01:10:45.399 --> 01:10:49.159
and I feel like I'm calling a
lot of the stuff that's gonna happen.

1051
01:10:50.199 --> 01:10:54.760
I really I hope to be surprised. I really do. I'm the same.

1052
01:10:54.800 --> 01:10:57.760
I'm the same way as far as
the calling everything that's happening. But

1053
01:10:57.800 --> 01:11:01.159
I'm still enjoying it, Like it's
still like it's yeah, yeah, parts

1054
01:11:01.199 --> 01:11:04.479
of it are fun. Other parts
I find pretty boring. I don't find

1055
01:11:04.720 --> 01:11:08.680
like the scene on the train with
the magnet vests, I don't find that

1056
01:11:08.800 --> 01:11:12.760
interesting. I just don't like shit. I've seen shit like that before,

1057
01:11:13.720 --> 01:11:15.279
and you're like, I've seen a
better movie. This is why I watched

1058
01:11:15.319 --> 01:11:18.359
movies. I mean, yes,
basically, but let's start off with the

1059
01:11:18.439 --> 01:11:23.199
things. I like. Good performances
all around, Like every character. I

1060
01:11:23.439 --> 01:11:26.960
enjoy the performances even when I don't
like the writing. All the performances are

1061
01:11:26.960 --> 01:11:30.239
really good. It makes me like
the characters even when I don't think they're

1062
01:11:30.279 --> 01:11:35.359
particularly well written. Arnold getting to
be funny again and like very consistently being

1063
01:11:35.439 --> 01:11:40.359
funny, I enjoy that. Yes, sorry, real quick, I just

1064
01:11:40.439 --> 01:11:43.239
realized, like, yeah, you're
right there. Like the characters are interesting,

1065
01:11:43.359 --> 01:11:45.760
but they have there's no real like
depth to any of the characters.

1066
01:11:46.319 --> 01:11:50.159
No, I don't, none of
them. I wouldn't care except for Arnold's

1067
01:11:50.199 --> 01:11:55.840
characters yet exactly like and his wife
and his daughter meet. I don't even

1068
01:11:55.880 --> 01:11:59.960
think Tally is that deep. It's
the relationship with Arnold that makes her interesting.

1069
01:12:00.680 --> 01:12:08.000
That's it. Arnold Emma, that's
pretty much the only really complex Like

1070
01:12:08.079 --> 01:12:11.359
thredtgmental characters in the show. But
again, I'm not talking about the bad

1071
01:12:11.399 --> 01:12:15.760
stuff. I like the good performances
of everybody. Arnold gets to be funny.

1072
01:12:15.560 --> 01:12:20.239
Like I said earlier, Arnold repeatedly
pronouncing cut holding is cock holding.

1073
01:12:21.399 --> 01:12:24.760
He does it for like two episodes
in a row. He does it like

1074
01:12:24.880 --> 01:12:29.119
eighteen times, and it's hilarious every
time, and that alone has made the

1075
01:12:29.159 --> 01:12:32.640
show worth it for me. I
do think that it's shot interestingly, Like,

1076
01:12:33.239 --> 01:12:35.600
not all of it. A lot
of it is shot, you know,

1077
01:12:35.760 --> 01:12:41.399
pretty normally, but I think it's
shot quite interestingly in certain parts.

1078
01:12:41.439 --> 01:12:44.439
If you look at the opening scene, there's a lot of really good shooting

1079
01:12:44.479 --> 01:12:48.840
in that, and some of the
action stuff is pretty competent. It's not

1080
01:12:49.079 --> 01:12:53.000
like the most unique action in the
world, but it is competently shot.

1081
01:12:53.039 --> 01:12:56.960
I know what's going on, and
it's interesting some of the time. The

1082
01:12:57.479 --> 01:13:00.520
other two lines that I really the
other two things I really fucking love is,

1083
01:13:01.319 --> 01:13:04.800
first of all, just the puppet
scene. Puppet Arnold hitting himself right

1084
01:13:04.880 --> 01:13:10.439
after Emma was strangling the puppet is
fucking that's that's maybe my favorite thing in

1085
01:13:10.520 --> 01:13:15.319
this entire fu. Yeah. Yeah, she is strangling the puppet and then

1086
01:13:15.399 --> 01:13:18.680
she starts making him hit himself in
the head and it's really fucking funny.

1087
01:13:18.680 --> 01:13:23.000
I don't know why. And then
the last line my one of my favorite

1088
01:13:23.039 --> 01:13:26.479
lines, just because of the way
Arnold says it is your skinny Maldus's body

1089
01:13:26.479 --> 01:13:32.319
will squeeze through it like a kookie
dough. Barry was afraid of jumping down

1090
01:13:32.399 --> 01:13:35.720
the tube into the prison, and
he goes, why do I have to

1091
01:13:35.760 --> 01:13:38.720
go instead of you? Why can't
you go? And he's like, because

1092
01:13:38.760 --> 01:13:43.239
your skinny maldeus body will squeezed through
it like a cookie dough. I love

1093
01:13:43.319 --> 01:13:47.479
it. The things I don't like. Everyone is way too quippi. There's

1094
01:13:47.560 --> 01:13:50.520
no straight man in this show.
There's there's just no straight man in the

1095
01:13:50.560 --> 01:13:55.359
show. If you count Dot the
head of the CIA, as the straight

1096
01:13:55.439 --> 01:13:58.680
man, you're wrong because she's barely
in any scenes, like she's in the

1097
01:13:58.720 --> 01:14:00.800
missing briefing scenes and that I'm gonna
say, you're wrong because she's a woman.

1098
01:14:03.800 --> 01:14:10.640
Okay. It's got mediocre writing,
like not terrible writing, but it's

1099
01:14:10.680 --> 01:14:15.359
just mediocre. It's just like fine, average basic writing. It feels like

1100
01:14:15.399 --> 01:14:17.600
they wrote the script and then had
like it. It kind of feels like

1101
01:14:17.680 --> 01:14:21.439
which I'm I'm kind of okay because
I'm digging the jokes, but it feels

1102
01:14:21.439 --> 01:14:25.159
more like a comedy. But it
feels like they had fortune, like Fortune

1103
01:14:25.239 --> 01:14:29.479
Finster and somebody else go in there
and punch it up, definitely with jokes,

1104
01:14:29.560 --> 01:14:31.479
jokes, punch the shit out of
it because they were like, I

1105
01:14:31.600 --> 01:14:34.479
think somebody was handed the script and
was like, oh, this is not

1106
01:14:34.800 --> 01:14:40.000
interesting enough. Let's let's just throw
jokes in there. Yeah the time,

1107
01:14:40.039 --> 01:14:42.399
which I'm enjoying. So I like
that part of it. But yes,

1108
01:14:42.479 --> 01:14:45.119
I get it, Yes it is. It is very Quippi. But yeah,

1109
01:14:45.159 --> 01:14:48.079
that's what I was telling Laura.
I was like, it's a comedy

1110
01:14:48.439 --> 01:14:53.600
action. It's like a comedy and
I'm like, no, no, it's

1111
01:14:53.680 --> 01:14:59.279
a comedy action yeah, which is
which is fine. I yeah, I

1112
01:14:59.439 --> 01:15:01.800
am not a fan of like the
procedural structure. It got old to me

1113
01:15:01.880 --> 01:15:04.479
after like the second episode. It's
like where they keep going back to the

1114
01:15:04.479 --> 01:15:10.119
briefing ring exactly. It's every episode
they come back from the mission. Yeah,

1115
01:15:10.239 --> 01:15:13.560
they spend a little time character with
character stuff, they go do a

1116
01:15:13.640 --> 01:15:15.880
mission briefing, they spend a little
more time with the characters, then they

1117
01:15:15.960 --> 01:15:19.039
go to a different country to do
the action. Stuff. It ends on

1118
01:15:19.039 --> 01:15:24.520
a cliffhanger. Yeah, yeah,
it gets very old to me very fast.

1119
01:15:25.199 --> 01:15:28.520
It's weird because it's like, uh, it's kind of mixed up a

1120
01:15:28.560 --> 01:15:30.479
little bit to where it's not exactly
like procedural it to where it starts off

1121
01:15:30.560 --> 01:15:33.960
like resetting. It's because it starts
off on the cliffhanger. You get a

1122
01:15:33.960 --> 01:15:36.840
little bit of the cliffhanger, and
then it goes into the procedural part,

1123
01:15:36.960 --> 01:15:41.720
like maybe like fifteen minutes into the
episode, you go, it resets.

1124
01:15:42.159 --> 01:15:44.680
Yeah, so yeah, you're right, it resets and it goes back to

1125
01:15:44.840 --> 01:15:47.760
Yeah. Yeah, it's just but
it's it's still falling like a storyline,

1126
01:15:47.800 --> 01:15:51.640
but it's still like resetting every time
exactly. I understand that procedurals have their

1127
01:15:51.680 --> 01:15:57.560
place, but they are not telling
a procedural type story. They are trying

1128
01:15:57.600 --> 01:16:00.079
to tell a bigger, overarching story, the kind of story you would tell

1129
01:16:00.119 --> 01:16:04.399
in a movie. Yeah, they're
not doing CSI. They're doing one plot

1130
01:16:04.479 --> 01:16:09.359
line. They're doing father and daughter
fight while trying to stop a terrorist.

1131
01:16:09.640 --> 01:16:12.920
That's a log line for a movie. That's not a fucking procedural TV show.

1132
01:16:13.319 --> 01:16:15.920
And it gets fucking old, And
that's I mean that's pretty much it.

1133
01:16:16.199 --> 01:16:20.239
Most of what most of my problem
is the writing. And yeah,

1134
01:16:20.279 --> 01:16:26.479
I hope it surprises me. It's
not that I'm completely not enjoying the show,

1135
01:16:26.640 --> 01:16:28.960
but I think I'm enjoying it a
lot less than you guys are.

1136
01:16:29.159 --> 01:16:32.680
Okay, well, that's just like
your opinion. That's true. It is

1137
01:16:32.880 --> 01:16:36.239
entirely preference. It's not that this
is not a fun show. I'm sure

1138
01:16:36.279 --> 01:16:40.800
it's fine, and if you like
TV, you'll probably enjoy this quite a

1139
01:16:40.840 --> 01:16:43.680
bit. And still now I just
want to question you on the TV shows

1140
01:16:43.720 --> 01:16:47.880
you've seen all the way through and
haven't like very few, extremely few.

1141
01:16:48.079 --> 01:16:53.359
Actually, I do agree with your
with I don't like that this was dropped

1142
01:16:53.399 --> 01:16:58.439
all at once because it yeah,
I wouldn't say yeah, it takes away

1143
01:16:58.479 --> 01:17:02.439
from watching part The best thing about
watching Lost, like Erica watched it different

1144
01:17:02.439 --> 01:17:05.800
than I did watching Lost, the
best thing about it was watching from week

1145
01:17:05.840 --> 01:17:09.119
tweek because you're like, what the
fuck and then you have a whole to

1146
01:17:09.159 --> 01:17:14.039
think about it, and then you
have like That's why I really really really

1147
01:17:14.279 --> 01:17:17.640
liked WandaVision because it was the same
exact way. That is the only reason

1148
01:17:17.680 --> 01:17:21.239
that Disney Plus shows can keep my
attention is because I have a week between

1149
01:17:21.279 --> 01:17:25.520
each episode to like, I will
think about it for a day or two.

1150
01:17:26.039 --> 01:17:29.479
I can go do other stuff and
I'm not just bombarded with it completely,

1151
01:17:29.600 --> 01:17:31.119
and then I come back to it
and I'm excited to watch it again.

1152
01:17:31.319 --> 01:17:36.560
Yes, it's like you know so, and they're structured better. They

1153
01:17:36.600 --> 01:17:40.840
are still cliffhangers, but they are
not the same kind of cliffhangers. You're

1154
01:17:40.840 --> 01:17:45.399
getting them the show and it is. It's it's just better for me.

1155
01:17:45.640 --> 01:17:47.279
I think that's the problem that I
had with the Hawkeye show. Was it

1156
01:17:47.439 --> 01:17:53.319
ended like this show so if the
first time, the first time I watched

1157
01:17:53.319 --> 01:17:54.960
it, I was like, Okay, I don't really care about watching the

1158
01:17:55.000 --> 01:17:57.880
next episode. I think if the
show is week tweek, I would have

1159
01:17:57.920 --> 01:18:00.199
been like, it's okay to wait, Like okay, well whatever, Like

1160
01:18:00.399 --> 01:18:03.159
I we wait an extra week.
I can watch two episodes at once.

1161
01:18:03.520 --> 01:18:06.800
It wasn't a show like like how
WandaVision was. I'm trying to think of

1162
01:18:06.840 --> 01:18:10.039
what else was like that. I
think low Key was kind of like that,

1163
01:18:10.239 --> 01:18:13.680
or I'm trying to there's not really
any week tweek shows anymore. No

1164
01:18:14.000 --> 01:18:17.720
like WandaVision definitely did it the best. I like, well, I say

1165
01:18:17.800 --> 01:18:20.479
this, but I still haven't watched
the newest episode of the or the newest

1166
01:18:20.479 --> 01:18:25.600
season of Mandalorian. I mean I
did that for the first two seasons of

1167
01:18:25.640 --> 01:18:28.840
Mandalorian, where I was watching it
every single week and I was excited for

1168
01:18:29.000 --> 01:18:32.800
it. There's another show that we
were watching, Oh the only Murderson Building

1169
01:18:32.880 --> 01:18:36.560
with only murders in the building.
Was like, is like that, that's

1170
01:18:36.600 --> 01:18:39.760
a good show. Yes, it
is a good show. And that's week

1171
01:18:39.800 --> 01:18:42.960
tweak two. And that's another one, like shit, especially because it's only

1172
01:18:43.000 --> 01:18:45.319
half hour, but like it's another
show to where you're like, oh,

1173
01:18:45.319 --> 01:18:46.680
man, I gotta watch that next
episode. And it is weekly, so

1174
01:18:46.840 --> 01:18:49.399
that's another one that's good. That's
good like that, But like, I

1175
01:18:49.520 --> 01:18:53.319
don't think that you're right, Like, I don't think that this show would

1176
01:18:53.319 --> 01:18:56.000
have been like that if it was
week to week, just because I would

1177
01:18:56.000 --> 01:18:58.600
have been like, oh, that's
well, she's fucked, but she's gonna

1178
01:18:58.600 --> 01:19:00.079
get out of it. Yes,
you are. The way that they end

1179
01:19:00.159 --> 01:19:05.439
the show with the cliffhangers, it
like, especially with that honeypot cliffhanger to

1180
01:19:05.439 --> 01:19:09.960
where it ends, like to where
she's she's got the gun aimed at her.

1181
01:19:10.000 --> 01:19:12.880
I'm like, dude, like,
you know, she's gonna get out

1182
01:19:12.880 --> 01:19:15.039
of it right away, exactly.
You think that I think that our main

1183
01:19:15.159 --> 01:19:18.199
character is gonna die in the middle
of the fucking season. Yes, you

1184
01:19:18.279 --> 01:19:20.239
think that. I think that that's
how this show is going to go.

1185
01:19:20.520 --> 01:19:24.359
Just yes, just play the scene
out. Structure is different, but yeah,

1186
01:19:24.720 --> 01:19:27.680
that's anyway what I don't like about
it anyway. Okay, thank you

1187
01:19:27.760 --> 01:19:30.680
for listening to this episode of You
at the Body Richta. On the first

1188
01:19:30.720 --> 01:19:35.000
four episodes of the show fubar tune
in, I guess you don't tune in.

1189
01:19:35.079 --> 01:19:43.680
I don't know podcast download or keep
refreshing that feed. Cuse the last

1190
01:19:43.720 --> 01:19:47.319
four episode episodes or the next episode
for the last four episodes of the show.

1191
01:19:47.359 --> 01:19:50.039
Far is gonna be coming out soon, so we're trying to pump these

1192
01:19:50.039 --> 01:19:56.359
out to get them to you and
not take the usual, like six month

1193
01:19:56.479 --> 01:20:00.520
process it takes to do this show. But yeah, other than that,

1194
01:20:00.760 --> 01:20:05.680
I guess there's only really one thing
left to say there the party up. H
