00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Penguin Series review.

2
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:08,800
I guess it'd be serious review because this is this

3
00:00:08,839 --> 00:00:11,320
is a mini series. There's not gonna be no season

4
00:00:11,359 --> 00:00:14,240
two or whatnot. I am going back to the og

5
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,879
the Clown principal podcast trust now, and I'm joined by

6
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:20,440

00:00:20,199 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 2: Compatzer uh Vic taylor Field.

8
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, it took me a second lot of stuff

9
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,679
going on, so like Vic, but yes, we are here

10
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,439
to talk about something that's been long. I guess I

11
00:00:34,439 --> 00:00:36,320
could say long. Wait. I don't know. I think it's

12
00:00:36,359 --> 00:00:39,119
just been me long waited to get back into this world. True,

13
00:00:39,119 --> 00:00:41,479
it's not the sequel that happened, you know, the first

14
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,960
movie happened two years ago now. But here we are.

15
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,560
We getting a little piece of the Batman universe. We're

16
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,880
back with the Penguin. We'll be here every week when

17
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,479
that happens. So if you you know you are new

18
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,759
and you're wondering, hey, what did these fine folks think

19
00:00:56,799 --> 00:00:58,960
of the Batman? We just put that back in the

20
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,600
feed so you can check that out out. And we did.

21
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,200
Me and Kirkland did Cape Crusader a couple of weeks ago,

22
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,359
So that was tons of fun and pretty much every

23
00:01:06,439 --> 00:01:08,959
Batman DC. We'll be doing Joker Jokers in two weeks

24
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,359
two Like lots of bat related stuff the past couple

25
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,640
months here, so anything DC or Batman related we're usually

26
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,560
covering it one way or the other. Saying that with

27
00:01:16,599 --> 00:01:18,840

We're covering Agatha, lots of stuff going on. It's gonna

31
00:01:27,439 --> 00:01:29,280
be a busy fall, but it should be a fun fall.

32
00:01:29,519 --> 00:01:31,920
Is Penguin fun? I don't know. So I'm gonna give

33
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,840
it to the raw dog in himself, Taylor Field, to

34
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,560
start us off, what did you think of this first

35
00:01:36,599 --> 00:01:39,560
episode of Penguin non spoilers, of course.

36
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 3: I liked it a lot more than I thought I

37
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,079
was going to like it. I was going, you know,

38
00:01:45,079 --> 00:01:47,000
when the show was first announced and we're seeing a

39
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,200
little bits here and there, I wasn't sure where I

40
00:01:49,319 --> 00:01:52,000
was on it. Seeing some trailers, I got more.

41
00:01:51,799 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 2: Engaged with it.

42
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:57,359
Speaker 3: But then actually watching this first episode, it's dark, it's gritty,

43
00:01:57,719 --> 00:02:02,120
but it has this weird underline, just addicting kind of

44
00:02:02,159 --> 00:02:05,000
aesthetic to it where I've really just I could not

45
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,599
turn my head for a second. I had to see

46
00:02:07,599 --> 00:02:10,280
what was going on, and it's just for the most time,

47
00:02:10,319 --> 00:02:12,759
it's a lot not a spoiler, but it's a lot

48
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,879
of just you know, cobble Pot just you know, moving

49
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:20,159
around doing his thing, and it's interesting walling around. Yeah,

50
00:02:20,199 --> 00:02:23,680
it's interesting seeing that with also just how disgusting and

51
00:02:23,759 --> 00:02:26,919
just shitty Gotham looks. It's how like, well, this world

52
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,199
that they set up here with feature in Gotham. It's

53
00:02:29,319 --> 00:02:32,599
really engaging and you can appreciate the level of detail

54
00:02:32,599 --> 00:02:36,960
they've added in. It's just it's a it's an addictive

55
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,199
set piece in world that I just really want to

56
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,280
see more of. And I really like the story that

57
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,199
they're setting up here a lot more than I thought

58
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,919
I would. I wasn't sure how, you know, a show

59
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:53,199
obviously devoid of Batman. It's focusing on crime syndicates and

60
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:54,960
underworld stuff like that.

61
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:56,599
Speaker 2: It just had a lot.

62
00:02:56,479 --> 00:02:59,599
Speaker 3: Going on and there was just some very tense moments

63
00:02:59,599 --> 00:03:03,039
that I can really appreciating this show so far. And yeah,

64
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,639
I think that they did a really really good job,

65
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,520
and I'm really looking forward to the second episode, which sorry,

66
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,240
is that this Sunday or next Sunday?

67
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: Okay, so this is the week's episode. Okay, cool, patser me.

68
00:03:20,039 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, this was this was what the fuck am I doing?

69
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:24,199
Speaker 1: Moment? There?

70
00:03:25,039 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 2: The funk am I doing here? I know what I'm

71
00:03:27,039 --> 00:03:27,439
doing here?

72
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,319
Speaker 4: This was probably like definitely up there for my most

73
00:03:31,319 --> 00:03:34,919
anticipating Yeah, that was me watching this show. That That's

74
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,879
how excited it was. I threw my glasses on. I

75
00:03:37,919 --> 00:03:42,080
had to get totally into it. Yeah, much much anticipated.

76
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,840
I I did have really I don't want to say

77
00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:47,560
like super high expectations, but like I feel like.

78
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,199
Speaker 2: I had up there expectations.

79
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 4: I was expecting caliber of of just to be taken

80
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,879
into that that Gotham world that you know we visited

81
00:03:56,879 --> 00:04:00,439
from Matt Reeves Batman, and I I just wanted world

82
00:04:00,439 --> 00:04:02,479
and like some more great Colin Ferrell st I feel like,

83
00:04:02,479 --> 00:04:04,719
at the very least, I just I wanted that stuff

84
00:04:04,719 --> 00:04:07,199
to be really good of the feel of Gotham and

85
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,800
Colin Farrell's Penguin because I just adored him in the

86
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,360
bat you know, we we love his his gift usage

87
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,080
here on that I don't even know that if it's

88
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,519
a gift, but it's it's just a little video clip

89
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,959
that we like to pull up. I don't have it ready,

90
00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:22,920
but I'm sure someone come on.

91
00:04:24,079 --> 00:04:25,319
Speaker 2: It's just so fantastic.

92
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,759
Speaker 1: I feel like we the discord was definitely round before

93
00:04:27,759 --> 00:04:29,680
the Batman, but that became one of the first like

94
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,079
geek first discord means was people dropping that one because

95
00:04:33,079 --> 00:04:35,439
that's yeah, and that's led to lots of laughter over

96
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:35,920
the years.

97
00:04:35,959 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 4: So absolutely and man like like throwing the show on

98
00:04:39,639 --> 00:04:42,399
and like from starting to finish, it's an hour six minutes,

99
00:04:42,399 --> 00:04:44,079
which which was a nice puzzant surprise.

100
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 2: I was worried it's gonna be like thirty five minutes

101
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:46,800
or something.

102
00:04:46,879 --> 00:04:49,439
Speaker 1: When I saw an hour and I'm like, oh my god,

103
00:04:49,519 --> 00:04:51,680
that just feels so good. It's so funny because sometimes

104
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,439
the movies by like, oh, three hours something like that,

105
00:04:53,439 --> 00:04:55,120
but just like with com book shows, we've been so

106
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,680
accustomed to like, oh, thirty two minutes or start like oh,

107
00:04:57,759 --> 00:04:59,920
three two minutes. It was so nice, like a full

108
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:01,759
like thank god.

109
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 4: You know, and and like watching the like this episode,

110
00:05:05,519 --> 00:05:06,879
I don't know if it's like I don't know if

111
00:05:06,879 --> 00:05:09,399
it's gonna sound hyperbolezed, I I really feel like this

112
00:05:09,519 --> 00:05:12,879
is accurate. This show made me realize of just maybe

113
00:05:13,199 --> 00:05:16,160
how much lesser shows have been in in the in

114
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,120
in in the last little while. Like I feel like

115
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,279
going through I don't know whether it be like season

116
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:23,839
two of House the Dragon, like I did like some

117
00:05:23,879 --> 00:05:26,040
stuff in there, but like to the most part, like

118
00:05:26,079 --> 00:05:28,759
it was nowhere near like peak moments that I think

119
00:05:28,959 --> 00:05:32,079
that show has been, like just just the season.

120
00:05:31,759 --> 00:05:34,199
Speaker 2: Overall, uh, some other shows for sure.

121
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,319
Speaker 4: And and I just think this one episode did such

122
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,000
a great job at like you know, world building, like

123
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,920
the world was built in the Batman movie. But I

124
00:05:42,959 --> 00:05:47,639
think just expanding upon it further the relationships that that

125
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,639
Oswald has in here with with just the characters that

126
00:05:50,639 --> 00:05:52,720
were interested, like brand new characters that were introduced in

127
00:05:52,759 --> 00:05:57,120
this episode. I'm just so much more intrigued in, like

128
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,800
like another show comparison, that's right, not like Aggtu for example,

129
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:01,600
Like I I did really like those first two episodes,

130
00:06:01,639 --> 00:06:04,040
but I still feel like watching this right here, it's like, man,

131
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,160
this is already getting me so much more intrigued in

132
00:06:07,439 --> 00:06:09,720
all these characters that were introduced like in this one

133
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,600
episode as opposed to just just how other shows have

134
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,279
done in the past, and like, what a fucking stellar

135
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,199
episode one. It took me a little while to say that,

136
00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:19,439
but like this was this is fucking ten out of

137
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,560
ten first episode for me. I oh wait, calm down,

138
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,839
I'm ranking the whole fucking series right now, even if

139
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,959
it goes multiple seasons. No, I I love his so much.

140
00:06:29,079 --> 00:06:31,839
Colin Ferrell is firing on all cylinders. He seems like

141
00:06:31,879 --> 00:06:34,720
he is just Cobblepot from that movie. Like it doesn't

142
00:06:34,759 --> 00:06:37,920
seem like it's it's an actor that like came back

143
00:06:37,959 --> 00:06:40,040
to portray the role and he's like slightly different. Like

144
00:06:40,079 --> 00:06:42,560
it just feels it's still hard for me to see

145
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,160
Colin Farrell, uh you know, behind the prosthetics that they

146
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,759
have on him, but like like he just feels like

147
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,720
Penguin and I they're doing such a great job at

148
00:06:52,759 --> 00:06:55,959
making him more than just like an asshole criminal boss.

149
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,399
Speaker 2: I do like the little.

150
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 4: Humanizing aspect that they are doing for him. But it's

151
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,560
not like they're just trying to make him like the

152
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,519
hero of the story. Like he is still grimy, he

153
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,920
is still doing bad guy things, and oh, I just

154
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,600
I love all like the just the crime syndicate things

155
00:07:10,639 --> 00:07:14,759
that are going on of just like playing the like

156
00:07:14,839 --> 00:07:17,519
other bad guys or just like the system in general,

157
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,279
like like like Penguin is just I love the way

158
00:07:21,279 --> 00:07:23,920
that he's able to play character and think on his feet,

159
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,199
Like multiple times in this episode, he really just has

160
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,160
to like lie out of his ass in the moment,

161
00:07:28,199 --> 00:07:32,199
and I just feel like he's always performing to be

162
00:07:32,279 --> 00:07:35,079
playing people and he's doing such a good job for that.

163
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,399
I yeah, I'm really intrigued what's going on. This is

164
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,800
like I'm so hyped for next week, you know, I

165
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,639
wish that we're gonna episode two this Sunday already. I'm

166
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,319
just so hyped on the show. And I didn't rewatch

167
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,639
Batman going into it. I feel like it's been I

168
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,279
don't know a year or so since since I rewatched it,

169
00:07:54,319 --> 00:07:54,879
But just watch it.

170
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:55,839
Speaker 2: I'm like, fuck, I got it.

171
00:07:55,839 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 4: I gotta get back in there, and I there is

172
00:07:58,399 --> 00:08:00,480
some things I feel like I'll have to because you

173
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,000
must have just watched this, Travis the Batman. Yeah, I

174
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:07,759
feel like I'll have some questions on maybe just what

175
00:08:07,879 --> 00:08:10,439
happened between like like certain characters, because I can't quite

176
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:11,920
remember everything that was going on there.

177
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: But not twice a year. Watch currently right now, I

178
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,800
think Maddie still has me beat for overall views because

179
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,160
I think he saw in the theater more than me.

180
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,040
But it's always I leave it for It's tough. I

181
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,800
either leave it for the fall or July because I

182
00:08:23,879 --> 00:08:26,000
like to watch the Nolan Batman movies in the summer,

183
00:08:26,279 --> 00:08:28,079
and then there's just the odd time that there's It's

184
00:08:28,079 --> 00:08:31,480
just it's a vibe movie, especially those days where it's raining.

185
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,200
You got that munky weather, like, oh, I think Passing's

186
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:35,440
out there somewhere.

187
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:36,399
Speaker 2: You going on?

188
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, anytime something in the way he hits on

189
00:08:38,639 --> 00:08:40,759
the gym places like, oh, man, I want to be

190
00:08:40,799 --> 00:08:43,120
here in Passing. It's October thirty first.

191
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, so fuck. I love this show right now. And

192
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,120
uh really hope it doesn't dive down from that because

193
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,720
that'll that'll hurt. That'll hurt if the quality goes way

194
00:08:53,759 --> 00:08:55,600
out the window. But I believe that it will stay

195
00:08:55,639 --> 00:08:57,840
on par like they're doing such a good job with it.

196
00:08:57,919 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 2: I'm loving paul I forget her name, but.

197
00:09:03,639 --> 00:09:07,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's Christy something ye Falcons or are you talking

198
00:09:07,799 --> 00:09:12,679
about real daughter or her character's name? Character name Sophia Falcon.

199
00:09:13,039 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

200
00:09:13,399 --> 00:09:15,519
Speaker 4: So whatever the actress is, I've seen her in a

201
00:09:15,519 --> 00:09:20,960
handful of things like Palm Springs with Yeah, it wasn't bad,

202
00:09:21,399 --> 00:09:23,279
and then She's how I Met your Mother. I didn't

203
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,759
really like love the character, so like unfortunately I didn't

204
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,320
get to really see layers of her acting.

205
00:09:28,399 --> 00:09:30,279
Speaker 1: But she killed her.

206
00:09:32,639 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 2: What a way to end that show. Let's not talk

207
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:34,960
about that.

208
00:09:35,759 --> 00:09:39,399
Speaker 4: But I I just I'm so like like chilling performance,

209
00:09:39,519 --> 00:09:43,000
Like like she is able to totally instill fear I

210
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:44,279
think with with.

211
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,399
Speaker 2: Just her ambulance on screen, and she.

212
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 4: Feels like a psycho bitch killer, like I'm killing you know.

213
00:09:50,159 --> 00:09:52,159
I don't know exactly what she did to get into Arkham,

214
00:09:52,159 --> 00:09:54,080
but I'm sure she deserves.

215
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, The Hangman, but two thumbs off. God damn, it's good.

216
00:10:00,279 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I echo all the things as people if

217
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,480
they don't know, if you're just tuning in, yeah, the Batman.

218
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,639
I need to give it some time. But on the review,

219
00:10:06,639 --> 00:10:08,320
I said, oh, it's could be my favorite movie all time.

220
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,840
That's The Dark Knight. But it's it's up there, and

221
00:10:10,879 --> 00:10:12,720
I have a moral dilemma for the rest of my

222
00:10:12,759 --> 00:10:15,120
life because I love those movies kind of equally but

223
00:10:15,159 --> 00:10:18,000
for different reasons. And but what I love is the

224
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,159
world and luckily they've carried that over and for the

225
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,480
most part, I'd say like eighty five percent of it,

226
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,919
it looks very similar to the film, has that vibe.

227
00:10:28,039 --> 00:10:30,440
There's the odd time, like there's this mansion they go

228
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,159
to and they just drove by like almost like some farms,

229
00:10:33,159 --> 00:10:34,679
and I was like, well, that doesn't feel like Gotham,

230
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,240
Like there's just like a there's a few times whereas

231
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,480
a few areas just because it's TV or just they

232
00:10:39,519 --> 00:10:41,639
don't have the exact same cameras. It was like, okay,

233
00:10:41,639 --> 00:10:45,960
it's not as like completely fine tuned, but it has

234
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,120
the majority of the aura. And it's funny, we just

235
00:10:49,159 --> 00:10:51,440
did a Guessa and it's to a different degree because

236
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:52,679
he has to do a lot more because just the

237
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,200
episodes are longer. But same thing of like, even if

238
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,840
this show ends up being like going down in quality,

239
00:10:57,879 --> 00:11:00,279
which I really don't think, so I'm not worried because

240
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,600
this thing was made as like a mini series, right

241
00:11:03,639 --> 00:11:05,960
where sometimes the MCU stuff does that, but and evens

242
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:07,799
Star Wars. But it's like in this weird in between

243
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,120
where it's like, well, we could do another obi Wan,

244
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:11,879
but this is where it is. But we could like,

245
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,759
I think this is distinctly made for Okay, we're gonna

246
00:11:14,759 --> 00:11:17,240
give him eight episodes, We're gonna give him a little arc,

247
00:11:17,279 --> 00:11:18,720
and this is how he's gonna get from point A

248
00:11:18,759 --> 00:11:22,720
to point B. Two the Batman too, and this is

249
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,000
where he is. And I think it's gonna be the

250
00:11:24,039 --> 00:11:26,039
same thing like we talked about in Agatha, where you

251
00:11:26,039 --> 00:11:28,519
don't really need to watch Falcon and the Winter Soldier

252
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,159
to realize, Oh, Sam's gonna be cap same thing. Like

253
00:11:31,159 --> 00:11:33,080
I don't think you're gonna have to watch just to

254
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,440
be like, oh, like, how did penguin get so much

255
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,039
more powerful? It's just like, well, no, he made some

256
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,399
moves on the side, right. But I think what I

257
00:11:39,519 --> 00:11:41,799
like is there's at times I was worried and I've

258
00:11:41,799 --> 00:11:44,639
still got some questions about the vic character, but there's

259
00:11:44,799 --> 00:11:47,000
I don't want them to humanize him too much. I

260
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,840
think there should be aspects that he is humanized. But

261
00:11:50,039 --> 00:11:54,399
I think there's great potential, like and people compared to sopranos,

262
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,639
like in that vein of being HBO and everything, but

263
00:11:57,639 --> 00:12:01,000
the more vein of you can follow a bad character

264
00:12:01,039 --> 00:12:03,200
and still have a good show. That to me, that's

265
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:04,600
like and I don't think everyone believes it, but some

266
00:12:04,639 --> 00:12:07,039
people have that sentiment of like, you have to your

267
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,279
main character it has to be a good person. There

268
00:12:09,279 --> 00:12:11,480
has to be I can't remember what the the book

269
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,320
is that there's some book in screenwriting that was very

270
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,000
popular about a decade ago, and it's like it's something

271
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,840
something Dog, and it's like, you have to do have

272
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,879
your main character do something in the first act to

273
00:12:21,919 --> 00:12:24,000
really like show the viewers why they're a good person.

274
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,320
I don't need that. From the show called The Penguin,

275
00:12:26,399 --> 00:12:29,000
I can see like motivations and why he might feel

276
00:12:29,039 --> 00:12:31,399
he's better than other people. And there's even some things

277
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,679
he does in this show where it's like, Okay, he's

278
00:12:33,799 --> 00:12:37,759
trying to, you know, maybe not be as bad as

279
00:12:37,759 --> 00:12:40,240
somebody else, but not in the sense of like he's

280
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,519
still murdering people. He's still hurting people, just like in

281
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,480
his like distorted point of view of well, I'm not

282
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,120
as bad as that guy, or you know, I'm not

283
00:12:48,159 --> 00:12:49,960
as bad as a falcon, but it's like, no, you are.

284
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,399
You're just like a different layer. And he still knows

285
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,600
he's selfish. So that's I mean, like the good guy

286
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,519
is and are very minor, and that's what I like.

287
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:57,960
You still gonna have it like a little bit because

288
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:02,159
he's your main character. But yeah, the actress playing Sophia,

289
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,240
she's doing a great job. I'm very, very curious what

290
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,679
they're gonna do with her character. I think so far

291
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,960
they got like a lot of fun allusions to Batman

292
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,000
lore and even just the Batman and maybe the Batman two.

293
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,159
But at the same time, it doesn't feel like it's

294
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:16,879
like beating over the head. It didn't feel like it's

295
00:13:16,919 --> 00:13:18,559
like you're gonna have to fall X, Y and Z

296
00:13:18,759 --> 00:13:23,399
and good soundtracks so far, lots of good cineatography going on.

297
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,559
I hope it feels like they have like a kind

298
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,759
of a score theme for the Penguin. I don't know

299
00:13:28,799 --> 00:13:31,480
what instrument is. It kind of felt like a cello

300
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,799
or something. I don't know. I'm not an instrument I'm

301
00:13:33,799 --> 00:13:36,200
not a music guy, so I don't know what sound

302
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,720
makes everything for the most part, but I hope that

303
00:13:38,759 --> 00:13:41,519
theme carries over into the movie. So yeah, as of

304
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,919
right now, for a first start, i'm happy it's week

305
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,159
to week. I'm especially happy for the podcasting. A little

306
00:13:46,159 --> 00:13:48,360
great fun discussion. But this was a show where I

307
00:13:48,399 --> 00:13:50,600
was like, oh I could. I'm jealous of the people

308
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,879
that have because there's reviewers that have all these episodes

309
00:13:52,879 --> 00:13:55,440
like man I am jel Zach, because I like, I

310
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,639
want to see this start to finish. I think they

311
00:13:57,639 --> 00:14:00,559
got the The best thing is other than Callan Farrow

312
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,639
is they got like what terrors about the vibe of

313
00:14:02,639 --> 00:14:07,039
Matt Reeves Gotham Because Matt Reeves Gotham's like very different.

314
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,320
It's like like they're all, you know, broken in a sense,

315
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:14,200
but his is like a very grimy, gross type of

316
00:14:14,399 --> 00:14:17,919
just it feels like most Gothams so this way, but

317
00:14:17,919 --> 00:14:19,519
you don't want to be there, Like no One's Gotham

318
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,840
is just it's just Chicago. It's a big city, right.

319
00:14:22,159 --> 00:14:24,080
I don't think we've ever gotten to spend enough time

320
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,000
in Affleck's Gotham to get a sense from it. The

321
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,960
Burden era. It's like a very comic bookie art deco,

322
00:14:31,159 --> 00:14:33,720
Like it's very over the top. It doesn't look like

323
00:14:33,759 --> 00:14:36,639
this world and Jokers is like a crime written one

324
00:14:36,639 --> 00:14:40,240
that that's something where it Jokers Gotham is a character itself,

325
00:14:40,279 --> 00:14:42,279
but it doesn't feel like Matt Reeves Gotham, which is

326
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,879
good as it's such a distinct characteration of that city.

327
00:14:45,919 --> 00:14:49,159
So yeah, no, I've I'm very I'm not surprised, really,

328
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:50,840
like I think I would have been more surprised if

329
00:14:50,919 --> 00:14:53,159
can this view, Like, man, what did they do? They

330
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,240
really dropped the ball here, But I think all the

331
00:14:55,279 --> 00:14:57,679
pieces they set up, I'm very excited to see where

332
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,399
we go forward. And yeah, Colin Farrow is just he's killed, man.

333
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,279
He is this character. It's just like not even just

334
00:15:03,279 --> 00:15:05,440
the makeup, even if he had the makeup off, the

335
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,320
way he moves, the little mannerisms like one time he's

336
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,320
talking like uh a South term Maroni and he's just

337
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,480
like he's like moving his eyes while he talks. And

338
00:15:13,519 --> 00:15:16,080
it's just like little ticks that he gives, whether it's

339
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,000
his idea Reeves or the other crew, just little ticks

340
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:23,879
they give. Oswald is just great. It's distinguished him. So

341
00:15:23,919 --> 00:15:26,679
I'm I'm I think this is gonna had a lot

342
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,279
of fun, but it's going to be a very great

343
00:15:29,559 --> 00:15:31,639
uh eight seven weeks here.

344
00:15:31,799 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 4: So yeah, I feel like, you know, we've been we've

345
00:15:35,039 --> 00:15:37,159
been doing this podcast thing for a long time now,

346
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,960
and just just now, like I feel like it still

347
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:44,240
surprises me when I see like great acting just stand

348
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,120
out amongst like like we watch a lot of content.

349
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,919
We've seen a lot of actors perform great and not great.

350
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:54,120
And even just like watching the show when like like

351
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,360
minor spoilers Clancy Brown, like the conversation that Clancy Brown

352
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,399
has with the penguin here, I'm just thinking, like, man,

353
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:02,360
Clancy Brown, Like.

354
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 2: He I love Klans Brown.

355
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 4: He's fantastic, but like he's just he's looking like Clancy

356
00:16:06,399 --> 00:16:09,240
Brown in the scene and then he's just like across

357
00:16:09,279 --> 00:16:12,399
the table from fucking Colin Farrell, wearing all.

358
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:13,799
Speaker 2: This like heavy jewelry.

359
00:16:13,919 --> 00:16:16,639
Speaker 4: He's got gold teeth, a fake scar, like this big chin,

360
00:16:16,799 --> 00:16:20,840
and like he's just he feels like a different creature.

361
00:16:20,879 --> 00:16:24,200
Like he feels like a completely different human being. Uh

362
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:25,559
that is Oswald Cobb.

363
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 2: And uh you know like like like like.

364
00:16:27,919 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 4: Clanson Brown is fantastic, but it's like, okay, Clancy Brown

365
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:34,000
is playing this character so and and yeah, as you

366
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,000
shouted out, like just the little manner is like like

367
00:16:36,039 --> 00:16:38,480
the way that he does a little cough for like

368
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,240
like just just everything, like the way he's grunting waddling

369
00:16:41,279 --> 00:16:44,279
around like he just I don't know, he's just living, breathing,

370
00:16:44,519 --> 00:16:49,840
uh as cob here and and he's just yeah, like.

371
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:56,559
Speaker 3: Certain predictions episode.

372
00:16:56,639 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 2: It's true. Yeah.

373
00:17:00,559 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 4: Oh last thing I wanted to say too before we

374
00:17:02,399 --> 00:17:04,599
jump in spoilers, But I feel like they also did

375
00:17:04,599 --> 00:17:07,480
a really good job of just feeling like this is

376
00:17:07,759 --> 00:17:09,799
this is like right after the events of The Batman,

377
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,440
like like the effects literally literally.

378
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: Like the first shot is of Penguin, Like the movie

379
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,519
ends with Penguins standing in his office watching over Gotham,

380
00:17:17,519 --> 00:17:19,119
and that's the first shot of this show. Is yeah,

381
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,519
Penguin in that exact same spot, you.

382
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 4: Know, and like the effect of the Riddler's still out

383
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,039
there like like like that is really clear, and I

384
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,160
I love it, you know, it's it's it's not like

385
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:33,319
this feels like a completely like different journey that's not

386
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,839
attached to the regular canon or something like that.

387
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: M hm. So we're gonna get into spoilers and uh yeah,

388
00:17:41,039 --> 00:17:43,200
so you haven't seen the episode, come back later on

389
00:17:43,319 --> 00:17:45,200
if not, we're gonna break it all down. So we'll

390
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:49,079
be right back. We're back, Taylor, where did you want

391
00:17:49,079 --> 00:17:50,160
to go first?

392
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,319
Speaker 3: You know, I would like to start with him probably

393
00:17:55,359 --> 00:18:01,599
getting probably getting Vic actually a part of his little crew,

394
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:05,640
because I was not expecting that. We can probably no,

395
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:06,279
like you.

396
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: Definitely talked about on the podcast That's Okay about.

397
00:18:09,039 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 3: Him getting like his little like Vic Apprentice and the way.

398
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, because that was one of my worries. I was like,

399
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,200
I don't know if I need a kid criminal character.

400
00:18:15,279 --> 00:18:18,279
And I'm I'm liking it so far, but I you know,

401
00:18:18,839 --> 00:18:21,200
my worries I think are gone because I think I

402
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,200
saw how much screen time he got. But I was worried,

403
00:18:23,319 --> 00:18:26,160
especially in the first fifteen minutes of this episode, like

404
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,799
when they're sitting by the fire and and I'm like, man,

405
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,680
is this whole episode gonna be like Oswald and Vic?

406
00:18:31,759 --> 00:18:34,000
And like I don't need that, but if it's this

407
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,160
type of screen time, But yeah, we definitely talked about this.

408
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 3: So I am loving the big character. I could only

409
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,599
imagine how terrifying that would be because you're already breaking

410
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,680
the law and stealing this guy's rims and then he

411
00:18:46,759 --> 00:18:50,400
comes out in a purple plum suit that matches his

412
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,359
car and he's shooting guns off at you, like it's

413
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,000
it's absolutely terrifying. Drops a body too, mind you while

414
00:18:56,039 --> 00:18:58,559
he's chasing you down with his gun and now you're

415
00:18:58,599 --> 00:19:01,680
working for him. But the whole dynamic of a Vic

416
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,920
just kind of being very cautious but still smiling. Like

417
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,279
I enjoyed it when the Dolly parton nine to five

418
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:11,880
came on in Penguin's car and Vic starts to smile

419
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,440
to himself. So there's a few just little things like

420
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:18,559
that that I can really appreciate. But yeah, I'm I

421
00:19:18,599 --> 00:19:21,319
have a hunch that Vic is gonna get killed at

422
00:19:21,319 --> 00:19:25,200
the end of this season. No you do, Yeah, how

423
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,559
does he die? I think he'll get murdered as an example.

424
00:19:28,599 --> 00:19:30,559
I don't think Cobbo Pot will kill him. I think

425
00:19:30,599 --> 00:19:32,319
that'll be really the case.

426
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: I think I'm not upset. I think cal Pot's gonna

427
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:35,480
be one.

428
00:19:35,519 --> 00:19:39,039
Speaker 3: Does it really because Vick will betray him or.

429
00:19:39,279 --> 00:19:42,079
Speaker 1: Some reason, just because I just feel like it's gonna

430
00:19:42,079 --> 00:19:44,920
be the full circle moment where he Penguin was gonna

431
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,000
kill him and he decided against it. But I love that, like,

432
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,440
oh I love that sunset and Victor he's like, oh no, no,

433
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,400
look it's really nice, look at it. Don't do this.

434
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,799
But I I whether it's betrayal, whether it's just he

435
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,720
has to make a moved to be because because at

436
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:03,079
the end of day, he's supposed to be a villain.

437
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,680
So with Sophia saying like, you'll say any story, even

438
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,079
if it costs someone's life, You'll say a story. I

439
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,319
think Vic will meet his demise because of went there

440
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,480
could be a chance that someone kills them as like

441
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,720
a message to Penguin. But then I just worry again,

442
00:20:19,839 --> 00:20:22,400
stay on the fucking streets and get pickles. You know, like,

443
00:20:24,519 --> 00:20:26,920
couldn't imagine that they do the whole movie. You don't

444
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,279
kill a single person, but in the TV shows he's

445
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,000
murdering everybody. But no, I just feel like, because at

446
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,960
the end of the day, if they have Vic get

447
00:20:34,079 --> 00:20:36,160
killed and I'm gonna get revenge from my friend, you

448
00:20:36,279 --> 00:20:40,160
might teeter too much into like a hero type of vibes.

449
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,599
I feel like Oz is gonna something will happen in

450
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,720
Oz will give him the big heave ho sadly for Vic.

451
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,079
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know what's gonna happen. I'm kind of

452
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:55,799
a bill on Vic Victor. Uh like yeah, but like.

453
00:20:56,039 --> 00:20:58,559
Speaker 1: We're not moving on this review to you.

454
00:20:58,759 --> 00:21:00,799
Speaker 2: I do I do like the character of Vic.

455
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 4: I I like I like when Cobb is like getting

456
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,279
one on one with him of like like lived in that.

457
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 2: Like I don't know, he's just he's just getting personal

458
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:09,799
with him.

459
00:21:09,799 --> 00:21:12,799
Speaker 4: It's very much like he is that old style gangster,

460
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:14,400
you know that he told in that in that story

461
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:18,079
that he's trying to be that that big brother type

462
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,519
guy for him, especially that they kind of came from

463
00:21:20,519 --> 00:21:23,160
the same neighborhood. Like just getting that one on one.

464
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,839
I didn't love how they like met of just this

465
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,720
guy like has his like buddies that that they're like

466
00:21:29,759 --> 00:21:31,640
doing missions with and then he just gets like captured

467
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,279
by cobble Putt and like does he just never talk

468
00:21:33,279 --> 00:21:35,119
to those guys ever again? Of like dude, what the

469
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,839
fuck happened? Like Buddy died, you know.

470
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 2: Because he was looking for you, and like like even

471
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:41,359
one of his.

472
00:21:41,279 --> 00:21:42,839
Speaker 1: Friends is dead later on the episode.

473
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 2: Well I don't know if that's what I mean.

474
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: Colleagues is dead, you know, So.

475
00:21:46,319 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, and like I would imagine that they were at

476
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,559
least somewhat friends. Like even if Vic did lose his

477
00:21:50,559 --> 00:21:53,279
family and like was on his own, it still seems

478
00:21:53,279 --> 00:21:55,359
like he had at least a crew that he's running with.

479
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,319
So I just feel like there it would be a

480
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,119
tie to them, like uh, and maybe next episod So

481
00:22:00,279 --> 00:22:02,240
like he does interact with those guys and they are

482
00:22:02,319 --> 00:22:04,720
asking kind of what's going on, but like as of

483
00:22:04,799 --> 00:22:07,880
right now, it yeah, like like it seems it seems

484
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,440
like right now he just is not gonna have any

485
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,559
ties with them, and he's just like completely with with

486
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,880
uh with Osle Ray and so like that felt a

487
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,160
little bit clunky to me, but after that point, like

488
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:21,920
I still like them together. So yeah, I just think

489
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:23,839
it could have been I don't know, like like you

490
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,240
don't like, I think you could have just done the

491
00:22:26,279 --> 00:22:28,880
stealing of the rims scene differently, Like.

492
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's being nitpicky. Like I still loved it overall.

493
00:22:33,799 --> 00:22:35,559
Speaker 1: I agree to a point where it's just, you know,

494
00:22:35,839 --> 00:22:39,359
big moment with Alberto Falcone kills him dragging his body

495
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,200
out shoots. He goes, hey, you don't want to come

496
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,279
with me? Like I yeah, that he needs help, but

497
00:22:43,279 --> 00:22:46,160
it's also like a very sense of situation, and I

498
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,480
also get that he's still gonna kill him after. But

499
00:22:48,519 --> 00:22:51,039
I just think that it felt like, how do we

500
00:22:51,039 --> 00:22:53,160
get these characters connected? Well, it's just gonna be happening

501
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:54,759
while he takes his body to the trunk and like

502
00:22:54,839 --> 00:22:57,400
it works well enough, but it just feels for such

503
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,559
a big steaks thing. I just feel like Oz would

504
00:22:59,599 --> 00:23:02,759
maybe just want to keep that a bit quieter or

505
00:23:02,839 --> 00:23:04,519
maybe I don't know, Like I just feel like at

506
00:23:04,519 --> 00:23:06,240
that point, like I'm just doing this myself. I don't

507
00:23:06,279 --> 00:23:09,119
want to risk anything this guy because what happens for

508
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,960
some reason, this guy like fucking Penguin can't run as

509
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,759
we saw in this episode, his foot fuck is fucked up, man,

510
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,599
his toes and everything and all looking good. So like

511
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,559
I just think, like, if there's a chance, if it

512
00:23:21,599 --> 00:23:24,400
gets away and he ties you, uh, Like, I just

513
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:28,960
think there it was odd in that moment to take

514
00:23:29,039 --> 00:23:31,480
out the new like King of Gotham and then also

515
00:23:31,559 --> 00:23:33,960
just bring someone new to the crew. I thought it's

516
00:23:34,079 --> 00:23:37,079
like maybe uncharacteristic. And I guess I kind of same

517
00:23:37,079 --> 00:23:40,680
thing I was wondering too, like would this penguin keep

518
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,920
a young guy, you know as this kind of lackey

519
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,400
you know, buddy whatever. And I guess it's just he

520
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,440
sees a bit of himself in him because he also

521
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,400
came from nothing. So I liked I think that stuff

522
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,440
with the mother reinforced later on why he would do that.

523
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:55,960
But at first I was like, I don't know if

524
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,519
I even buy Penguin having a proje. This just feels

525
00:23:59,519 --> 00:24:02,039
like we need a character that's the eyes of the world.

526
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,640
But then I think they they did strain a law

527
00:24:04,799 --> 00:24:06,039
or they did so together.

528
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,599
Speaker 4: Would you preferred him just like being on his own though,

529
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,440
and like just having an inner dialogue with it, Like

530
00:24:10,559 --> 00:24:12,599
I still feel like you need someone in those scene

531
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,640
like when they're in the car going places, Like I

532
00:24:14,799 --> 00:24:17,039
like that he was able to at least dialogue off

533
00:24:17,079 --> 00:24:20,319
of him, even though you know, Vick's just like stuttering

534
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,680
and isn't really saying a lot, like you just still

535
00:24:22,759 --> 00:24:24,400
have I don't know it just it.

536
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 2: Just seems cleaner, I think to.

537
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,079
Speaker 4: Have cot like like to be able to have Colin

538
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,799
Ferrell just act in the car like bouncing off of someone,

539
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:33,640
Like I like that more than him just in his

540
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:34,880
head like what the fuck.

541
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:35,519
Speaker 2: Am I gonna do now?

542
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 4: Like like thinking about these things I do, like the

543
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,160
one on one and yeah, I just also like the

544
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,240
little moments of when he is just like, yeah, let's

545
00:24:43,279 --> 00:24:46,160
just enjoy this this sunrise, like you ever had a cigar?

546
00:24:46,519 --> 00:24:48,799
I am completely convinced that he actually was gonna kill him,

547
00:24:48,839 --> 00:24:51,000
and I think someone that's in that moment until he

548
00:24:51,039 --> 00:24:55,799
did say something. But yeah, the pickles. The pickles line. Fuck,

549
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,319
he's like, I asked for more pickles, they gave me two.

550
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,680
What the fuck does that me? He's just so good.

551
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 1: God, damn, can't believe your chat CHIVT pickles, like got

552
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:07,200
tied into this.

553
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 2: You know they've seen all the episodes.

554
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 1: Clear, Yeah, everyone go check out their predictions and everything.

555
00:25:11,799 --> 00:25:15,240
So to answer the like, would I prefer it? I

556
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,039
have to see the whole show, because one, I just

557
00:25:17,079 --> 00:25:19,920
gotta hopefully like VIC is used well and everybody comes

558
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,920
like overbearing because sometimes the younger characters, I don't know

559
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,519
you can go that way. And then to two, I also

560
00:25:25,559 --> 00:25:27,960
just have to see that is there not a version

561
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:29,759
of this movie or the show that it couldn't have

562
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,680
just been like a bodyguard that he already has, right,

563
00:25:33,759 --> 00:25:36,720
Like he kills Falcone and then he shoots him, says, hey,

564
00:25:36,799 --> 00:25:38,960
I need your help, and that's it. So that's what we'll.

565
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,920
I'll I can't judge until I've seen all the episodes

566
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:43,839
because you could still have him in the car, which

567
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:45,400
I like when he got all this stuff of the phony.

568
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,519
He just takes his gun and he's like breaking the

569
00:25:47,559 --> 00:25:50,200
phone beside me. He's like, look at that. He's like.

570
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,799
It's just like it's like what an odd little you know,

571
00:25:53,839 --> 00:25:55,720
a little man. He's actually big. The makeup and the

572
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,279
prost texts they put on him, the make or the body.

573
00:25:58,279 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 2: Has no shirt on. At the end, it's like.

574
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I have to wait and see till it's

575
00:26:04,279 --> 00:26:06,440
all done. Uh if I would have preferred just like

576
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,440
a bodyguard, because I think you're right that you need

577
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,920
you probably need somebody there with him to bounce off.

578
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:16,279
Speaker 2: I like, yeah, I like, I'm.

579
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 4: Not going to disagree with anything you said there, but

580
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,680
I just feel like to defend Vic's like the importance

581
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:21,400
of having that.

582
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 2: Character as opposed to a bodyguard is.

583
00:26:24,319 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 4: I just feel like it's so much more interesting having

584
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,440
someone that could have been in a similar position that

585
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,680
that penguin was as a wee young lad, maybe ripping

586
00:26:32,759 --> 00:26:35,680
rims off of you know, gangsters as a little kid.

587
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:39,759
And like he's also showing like use right, Like like

588
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,960
he he runs like I'm assuming, yeah, he lays the

589
00:26:44,839 --> 00:26:46,519
what the fuck are they called it? Like the brick

590
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,599
on the gas pedal to go to the the family's

591
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,200
house there to like actually get the reveal that Alberto

592
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,759
is dead, like like like he did do that play

593
00:26:55,799 --> 00:26:58,799
for it, Like I don't know, it's just like it's

594
00:26:58,839 --> 00:27:01,640
one thing to just have it's funny. I'm just thinking

595
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:02,759
a Bagatha netlight like to.

596
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 2: Have a new young character like coming to the show.

597
00:27:05,279 --> 00:27:08,079
Speaker 1: To interact with similar actually to.

598
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 2: Like interact with our character.

599
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 4: But it just seems like already Vic is like a

600
00:27:11,759 --> 00:27:15,000
real key player to like helping out Penguin more so

601
00:27:15,079 --> 00:27:17,119
than just what a bodyguard would be to actually just

602
00:27:17,559 --> 00:27:19,759
remove a body or something like that. Like I'm just

603
00:27:19,799 --> 00:27:22,640
more intrigued to see how far he's gonna go maybe

604
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,119
and how evil he becomes as like a bad guy.

605
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, And it gives more of a reason to be invested,

606
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,119
right because it's not just like another guy, because like

607
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,559
it's not just another bodyguard that could flip and be

608
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,519
with a different crime organization. This is gonna be the

609
00:27:36,599 --> 00:27:39,400
guy that gave him a chance. You know, Penguin gave

610
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,720
Vick a chance could have killed them, so there could

611
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,680
be And again, I think it will hurt more when

612
00:27:43,759 --> 00:27:47,880
Vic does I imagine turn or do something. I'm not

613
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,160
sure what they'll string along, but I don't think he's

614
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,160
gonna make it to The Batman Part two, unfortunately for Vic.

615
00:27:53,279 --> 00:27:55,480
But who knows. You never know. Maybe he'll just have

616
00:27:55,519 --> 00:27:57,160
to be his lack on the side, but I don't

617
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:57,400
think so.

618
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,079
Speaker 2: He's the main villain of The Batman too.

619
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 4: I was gonna ask, this isn't like a comic book

620
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,880
character or anything like like no big ties.

621
00:28:06,599 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 1: To not as of yet, like Penguin doesn't have like

622
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,039
some kid mentor. But because I know I saw people

623
00:28:12,039 --> 00:28:14,920
meming about that it's gonna be mister Freeze because Victor Freeze.

624
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,279
So I don't think that's gonna be the case. But uh,

625
00:28:18,759 --> 00:28:21,039
as of right now, with the information we have, it's

626
00:28:21,039 --> 00:28:23,200
not like an Agatha situation where it's like, oh, look

627
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,519
out this young person. It's somebody you know.

628
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,039
Speaker 2: I got spoiled on that today. I know all about Oh.

629
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:30,839
Speaker 1: Go ahead, we're all spoiled that because I spoil out

630
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,000
for Dylan Taylor a couple of nights ago on Agatha,

631
00:28:33,079 --> 00:28:36,160
who teen is So yeah, I didn't think that would last.

632
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,599
It would last too long on the Wanda Vision era.

633
00:28:38,759 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 4: So's so funny because like I won't spoil it now,

634
00:28:42,279 --> 00:28:44,480
hopefully not. But like, like the little thing that I

635
00:28:44,519 --> 00:28:47,359
saw too, it's like teen is not this character, it's

636
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:48,720
this character, and I'm like.

637
00:28:49,039 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 2: What the kind of article is that? Like, why would

638
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:52,759
I ever want to know that information?

639
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: Fuck sakes bum that's gonna next week? Vic is this character,

640
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,279
but he's really this character is mister Freeze. He's there,

641
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:05,839
he's saying in there, Yeah, are you happy with the

642
00:29:06,039 --> 00:29:08,839
al so you think he's you said, he's probably gonna

643
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:10,839
die by somebody else, But are you happy with just

644
00:29:10,839 --> 00:29:14,400
the Vicky character right now?

645
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 5: The Vicky character Vicky Vic Okay, I I was thinking

646
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:25,480
of like Vicky from what's her name first Batman, Vicky Veil,

647
00:29:25,799 --> 00:29:26,279
Vicky Veil.

648
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was like, I don't know Vicky Vale in here?

649
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,559
Speaker 2: Uh, But no, I think the Vic.

650
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:36,319
Speaker 3: Character, like he's he's more engaging and intriguing than.

651
00:29:36,279 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 2: I was expecting him to be.

652
00:29:37,279 --> 00:29:38,799
Speaker 3: And I think, like you said, you worry, like, oh,

653
00:29:38,839 --> 00:29:40,559
it's just gonna be kind of like a pylon tag

654
00:29:40,599 --> 00:29:43,359
and along and be kind of boring or bland, but

655
00:29:44,119 --> 00:29:46,599
a pylon. He's he's doing a good job of being

656
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,319
that gateway into this world and show for the viewer

657
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,200
because he keeps asking, like like Oswald.

658
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 2: Like where are we going, what's next? What are you doing?

659
00:29:55,039 --> 00:29:56,839
Speaker 3: And he's asking questions and these are the kind of

660
00:29:56,839 --> 00:29:58,440
things that you as the viewer, you're going to be

661
00:29:58,839 --> 00:30:01,599
wondering and you're gonna be pitch and so it's nice

662
00:30:01,599 --> 00:30:04,119
that they kind of have this character learning the world

663
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:05,680
as he goes along.

664
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 2: Like we are.

665
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:11,279
Speaker 3: So I like that. And yeah, he's just his quick involvement.

666
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,839
Like you already said that, there's probably little bits of

667
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:21,039
history and in that cobble Pot probably sees and sees

668
00:30:21,079 --> 00:30:24,160
in himself a little bit, So it makes sense why

669
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,119
he would kind of recruit him and pull him in.

670
00:30:27,079 --> 00:30:29,799
But at the same time, it was definitely rushed, But

671
00:30:29,839 --> 00:30:32,119
I like seeing how he was being able to be

672
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,799
a part of cobble Pot's kind of history and past

673
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,000
here where he goes to his apartment, sees like some

674
00:30:37,079 --> 00:30:39,640
photos and then he gets to go to his actual

675
00:30:39,759 --> 00:30:44,000
mum's house and see see that dynamic. So he he

676
00:30:44,039 --> 00:30:46,400
seems like a nice kid. But then at the same time,

677
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:50,000
like for doing these things, it's probably gonna like transition

678
00:30:50,119 --> 00:30:52,519
and change. I loved when he was actually the architect

679
00:30:52,559 --> 00:30:55,039
of that plan, and he ended up just cutting the

680
00:30:55,079 --> 00:30:58,240
finger off. He couldn't do it, couldn't cut the neck off, and.

681
00:30:58,359 --> 00:31:00,519
Speaker 2: Couldn't I tried doing it for the gonna do from

682
00:31:00,519 --> 00:31:01,319
the back, It's.

683
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:07,039
Speaker 3: Like, okay, yeah, so I'm I'm liking a character a lot.

684
00:31:07,599 --> 00:31:10,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, super Bank points out could be a better chance

685
00:31:10,279 --> 00:31:12,400
of being Victor says that my mind went to that

686
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,240
when he said Victor. But then I realized, like, okay, right,

687
00:31:15,279 --> 00:31:18,319
they have this those scars. Yeah, every time he kills

688
00:31:18,319 --> 00:31:23,519
somebody cuts a cuts himself, but only in city. Yeah,

689
00:31:23,759 --> 00:31:26,160
maybe that'll be the moment Vick will take off his

690
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,519
shirt and he has all these scars and Fenglin's like,

691
00:31:28,559 --> 00:31:31,599
wha god, what do you show me? And then here

692
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:32,400
for you Osle.

693
00:31:32,559 --> 00:31:34,519
Speaker 2: Then he shows his tone and then Victory's.

694
00:31:34,119 --> 00:31:40,279
Speaker 1: Like, oh yeah, yeah, so we got that. Uh so Albert.

695
00:31:40,359 --> 00:31:43,160
It's so funny because a couple a couple of I'm

696
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,000
losing track of time, but last week I can't remember

697
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,920
if it's a writer Matt reeves where they asked him,

698
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:49,920
because so few have al cones in this and they have.

699
00:31:50,279 --> 00:31:52,799
The falcones have big ties to the long Halloween story

700
00:31:52,839 --> 00:31:56,920
and dark Victory at sequel and Alberto big big character

701
00:31:57,079 --> 00:31:59,759
in Long Halloween. So I'm sure some interviewer asked, I'm like, oh,

702
00:31:59,799 --> 00:32:01,640
you appening them, and so oh yeah, no, we're not

703
00:32:02,039 --> 00:32:04,519
adapting that. There's some elements, but we're not adapting that.

704
00:32:04,839 --> 00:32:07,359
And I definitely aren't. As Alberto had one scene and

705
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,160
fucking he's gone. So I not that I thought they're

706
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,839
gonna go I'm not gonna spoil it because one day

707
00:32:12,839 --> 00:32:14,720
we will read that combook, but not that I thought

708
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:19,000
they're gonna go the route of what happens with Alberto

709
00:32:19,079 --> 00:32:21,119
and Long Halloween. But it was funny that they're setting

710
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:22,680
him up to be this new big king. And I

711
00:32:22,839 --> 00:32:28,759
this is again where having Ozby very manipulative, that this guy,

712
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,559
you know, former or recovering addict, you know, trying his

713
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:34,880
trying his best to say off the sauce. They have

714
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:38,400
to drops he right away to try to get his way,

715
00:32:38,519 --> 00:32:40,640
is trying to get him liquored up, and he takes

716
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,759
the drums say ah, yeah that's good. Like he's just

717
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,759
he's such an enabler. But and even like he I

718
00:32:45,799 --> 00:32:48,160
love the way Pharrell plays it that when he's in

719
00:32:48,319 --> 00:32:50,920
his like the safe and he's getting all the jewels

720
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,839
and the foes and everything like that second like, oh yeah,

721
00:32:53,839 --> 00:32:55,480
I want to stop buying this is for you, and

722
00:32:55,519 --> 00:32:59,319
like he like just be friends Alberto so fast in

723
00:32:59,319 --> 00:33:01,400
a way where we're like okay, like not that we

724
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,759
believe it, but you think he's gonna stick with us

725
00:33:03,759 --> 00:33:06,039
for a little while. And then you know, the conversation

726
00:33:06,079 --> 00:33:08,200
doesn't go good and Penguin shoots him, which at one

727
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,079
moment I thought, all, this is a dream sequence. He

728
00:33:10,079 --> 00:33:12,279
didn't actually shoot him, and then when he like it,

729
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:16,000
just kept playings like oh nice, like it it's actually happening.

730
00:33:16,079 --> 00:33:18,079
We get this great scene where he's gonna take him

731
00:33:18,079 --> 00:33:19,839
down the stairs, but he actually just decides to chuck

732
00:33:19,839 --> 00:33:22,640
his body down the stairs. So I liked everything, and

733
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,519
I liked the whole conversation because we told about the

734
00:33:24,559 --> 00:33:27,319
trailers right of him talking about that parade and oh

735
00:33:27,599 --> 00:33:30,480
like how they respected him and he wants to be

736
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,720
like an old school type of gangster, where Alberto clearly

737
00:33:33,799 --> 00:33:36,440
didn't want that or just thought if Oswald wanted that,

738
00:33:36,559 --> 00:33:38,519
then it's good to kill him. So I liked that

739
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,640
the whole scene and situation. I think they were smart

740
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:45,000
to have that because you're killing a you know, big

741
00:33:45,119 --> 00:33:47,440
character by name, because all they've done so far she say, oh,

742
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,279
he's gonna be the new king of Gotham or crime

743
00:33:49,319 --> 00:33:51,640
syndicates or whatnot. So Penguin killing him right away, you

744
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:53,960
feel like, Okay, the stakes have been raised. So I

745
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:55,279
liked everything they did there.

746
00:33:57,759 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I I love that sequence so much. It

747
00:34:01,079 --> 00:34:04,279
was it was like a like a shock moment for sure,

748
00:34:04,599 --> 00:34:07,720
when he shot him. I was because I don't know,

749
00:34:07,839 --> 00:34:10,199
I I kind of just didn't really think about like

750
00:34:10,559 --> 00:34:13,079
how big of a family like Falcone could have had,

751
00:34:13,159 --> 00:34:15,800
so like when he was strettinged into the the Iceberg

752
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:17,559
lounge there, I'm just like, oh, this is just very

753
00:34:17,599 --> 00:34:22,840
clearly the new kingpin of Gotham here. But they did

754
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:26,159
a good job of just making it like it's a

755
00:34:26,199 --> 00:34:29,480
lot more of an established business, you know that that

756
00:34:30,119 --> 00:34:33,920
is going on, not just because Carmine is dead or sorry,

757
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,800
just because Carmine is dead doesn't mean that like you know,

758
00:34:37,039 --> 00:34:38,760
like it's just an open seat like it like there

759
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,039
is a lot of moving factors at play. It is

760
00:34:41,119 --> 00:34:43,840
a well oiled machine that I just love that moment,

761
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,559
and like, yeah, Alberta's just like laughing in his face

762
00:34:46,639 --> 00:34:49,880
and like demoralizing him, and it already seemed like like

763
00:34:50,199 --> 00:34:53,840
Cobb was like playing him like like a fiddle, just

764
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,920
like fanning the flames of his ego, right like, oh no,

765
00:34:57,119 --> 00:34:59,159
like that's all Like he just seems like he's he's

766
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:03,360
he's every right answer to like what Alberto would be, Uh,

767
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,440
get me off of there. He like you had a

768
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:08,559
ghost find you or something.

769
00:35:10,079 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 1: Check you're like calibrimborm and uh.

770
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:23,360
Speaker 4: Uh like like I don't know, he's just saying everything right,

771
00:35:23,519 --> 00:35:26,480
and then Alberto just said one too many things to

772
00:35:26,599 --> 00:35:28,360
him and he just you just couldn't handle anymore, and

773
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,400
like he's a fucking hard motherfucker and he just pulls

774
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:33,679
out his gun and shoots him right there, and he

775
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,440
just laughs in his face with his like crooked golden

776
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:37,400
teeth and then he's like.

777
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:41,079
Speaker 2: Oh shit, and then he has to get the fucking

778
00:35:41,199 --> 00:35:41,880
bag on him.

779
00:35:42,079 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 1: Well, it was so weird because he like the last

780
00:35:45,079 --> 00:35:47,559
lines before the penguin drop, he's like oh and then

781
00:35:47,599 --> 00:35:49,800
it cut off, so it's like, Okay, they're not gonna

782
00:35:50,119 --> 00:35:52,559
do and then after that the rest of show proceeds

783
00:35:52,599 --> 00:35:54,920
like characters dropping f bombs like the boob in here

784
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:56,559
I missed the boob.

785
00:35:57,039 --> 00:36:02,760
Speaker 2: Oh. Yeah, when they're walking and the ladies comes, Yeah,

786
00:36:03,119 --> 00:36:04,079
he's going for his albi.

787
00:36:04,159 --> 00:36:05,679
Speaker 4: And then there's a couple of ladies of the night

788
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:07,719
on the street and then Vic looks back and then

789
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:09,280
one of them is like like what you see and

790
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:10,320
then gives.

791
00:36:10,079 --> 00:36:12,559
Speaker 1: A little I know, I don't know how I missed

792
00:36:12,599 --> 00:36:16,559
that a repeater. That's what I'm doing right now after this.

793
00:36:16,679 --> 00:36:19,000
I'm gonna pull it up right now. But yeah, I

794
00:36:19,119 --> 00:36:23,199
was surprised actually how hard they went with a R.

795
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,199
And I'm not saying they didn't need to, because like

796
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,199
his HBO, I don't think they need to. I still

797
00:36:27,199 --> 00:36:28,840
think you take all the swear words everything I would

798
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:30,440
have liked to show. But I was like, Okay, they're

799
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,360
not dropping f bombs. But then yeah, lots of f

800
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:37,440
bombs in the show and everything. Soh let's see. We

801
00:36:37,599 --> 00:36:40,280
talked about Vic, we talked about Yeah, they got the albi,

802
00:36:40,599 --> 00:36:45,119
and then I'm curious what this new drug is gonna be.

803
00:36:45,119 --> 00:36:47,679
If it's gonna be anything that is Batman two related,

804
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,159
or is it literally just gonna be like a new

805
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,480
type of drug, because it feels like, you know, with

806
00:36:51,679 --> 00:36:53,800
drops and everything, they got that going well, and I

807
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,239
guess the setup of this is he gets the phone,

808
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,719
he looks at the ship bent and before I'll borrow

809
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:02,199
somehow it's gonna revolution and eyes the drug business. But

810
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,079
the Falcone family does not. They want to pull out

811
00:37:05,079 --> 00:37:09,440
of Gotham because these uh the oh god, what's the

812
00:37:09,519 --> 00:37:14,280
word floods but obviously not really a flood terrorist attack,

813
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:15,199
but sild the floods.

814
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,039
Speaker 4: When he has that meeting too or sorry earlier on,

815
00:37:18,079 --> 00:37:20,760
when when he's at like the actual facility, guys like, yeah,

816
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,280
we like, you know, thirty percent was recovered or like

817
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,280
saved from the for the floods.

818
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:26,360
Speaker 2: And the when he has the meeting later on, he's like,

819
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:27,280
seventy percent was.

820
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:34,079
Speaker 1: Saved millions of dollars. Yeah, he's just such a great liar.

821
00:37:34,159 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 2: But yeah, they bullshitter.

822
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's so good. They tell him that he's gonna

823
00:37:37,639 --> 00:37:40,519
have to shut down the operations, and uh, I like

824
00:37:40,599 --> 00:37:43,360
to when he made them this whole pitch and right

825
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,280
before you're about to leave, he's like, so we're good,

826
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:46,840
we're gonna do what I plan. And then he's like

827
00:37:47,039 --> 00:37:49,320
just shut it down and go like like whatever he

828
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:53,119
said they didn't want, and then we meet Sofia Falcon, who, yeah,

829
00:37:53,199 --> 00:37:55,639
she is in the comics, knowe is the hang Man.

830
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,800
She's uh, there's a murder mystery that obviously not that'd

831
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:00,519
be a big spoil because if were read the combook,

832
00:38:00,559 --> 00:38:03,000
they'd be talking about the Hangman. And so I like

833
00:38:03,079 --> 00:38:08,719
that she went there, she went to Arkham. She's rehabilitated, supposedly,

834
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:10,199
but already I think by the end of this episode

835
00:38:10,199 --> 00:38:11,599
we see not so much. I think it's just the

836
00:38:11,639 --> 00:38:14,159
case of having a rich family that can pull some

837
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:17,679
strings and everything, and she That's why I love that

838
00:38:18,159 --> 00:38:20,719
we have a character like Penguin, who I still consider

839
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:24,159
a villain doing evil things, a bad guy, but we

840
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,320
have someone that might be like an even badder guy

841
00:38:26,519 --> 00:38:31,119
in Sofia Valcone, and I love, absolutely loved that she

842
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:35,199
can almost like and they've almost insinuated that they've known

843
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,599
each other for a long time. They insinuated a lot

844
00:38:37,599 --> 00:38:39,079
of stuff they know in Chad for a long time.

845
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,519
They insinuate that Penguin might have been had a hand

846
00:38:42,559 --> 00:38:45,719
in getting her set up in Arkham, because oh, I'm

847
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:47,559
sorry that I had to tell your dad, Like that's

848
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,320
very intriguing, Like what did Penguin, why did he go

849
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,360
to Carmine, did you just think she was out of control?

850
00:38:52,559 --> 00:38:56,039
Like who knows? I love that she right away could

851
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,679
smell like his kind of bullshit. She set him up

852
00:38:58,679 --> 00:39:01,960
where she made him answer all these questions and then

853
00:39:02,159 --> 00:39:04,159
after the fact gave him the whole Oh well, my

854
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,199
brother said he was going there, and my brother didn't

855
00:39:06,199 --> 00:39:08,199
tell me that you knew about the shipment, so just

856
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,400
made him look like an idiot. And it's just like

857
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,719
the dinner or whatever, lunch is like just a great

858
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,800
like battle of with them trying to outsmart each other

859
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,199
with lies. And I was just like, Sofia, she's like

860
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:22,000
stuffing her face because she's been like locked him arking

861
00:39:22,079 --> 00:39:23,639
for we don't know how long, but I'll say maybe

862
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,519
at least some months, but a couple of years maybe even.

863
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:30,599
So everything about her introduction that character, even that end

864
00:39:30,639 --> 00:39:32,639
scene when they had the fiber wire and Penguin's arm

865
00:39:32,679 --> 00:39:36,199
and they're interrogating him, to the long point of me

866
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:38,239
just saying is like, I cannot wait till she finds

867
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,840
out that Penguin actually killed her brother. And I think

868
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:46,639
she's just gonna she's gonna, she's gonna blow a gasket.

869
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 4: Sos Kristin Miliotis you know, she's fantastic. I love that

870
00:39:54,159 --> 00:39:58,000
whole sequence of the lunch, even the meeting of the

871
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:02,960
family members. Who the chap I think he's I don't know.

872
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,000
I've seen him in so many different roles, the guy

873
00:40:05,079 --> 00:40:07,480
that was like really adamant on shutting down everything.

874
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's it like was he in The Batman?

875
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:13,800
Speaker 1: No? So I think he's just like a Falcone crime

876
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:15,079
family advise.

877
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:16,199
Speaker 2: So those photos that.

878
00:40:18,079 --> 00:40:21,079
Speaker 4: Like Penguin finds they were of him, right, yes? And

879
00:40:21,159 --> 00:40:23,199
then who does he send Like you know, he like

880
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:25,599
makes the envelope and it's like, let's work together or

881
00:40:25,679 --> 00:40:26,440
let's be pals.

882
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:28,800
Speaker 2: Who is he sending that to?

883
00:40:29,599 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 1: Oh, we don't know you. I don't know yet. I

884
00:40:32,079 --> 00:40:35,800
would imagine someone on Maroney's.

885
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 3: Side the photos they were going to counsel them in

886
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:40,760
something or rather, I can't remember his name.

887
00:40:41,079 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 1: Oh so he's trying to buy playing Okay, Yeah, which

888
00:40:45,039 --> 00:40:48,280
is gonna be interesting because I feel like I could

889
00:40:48,559 --> 00:40:50,280
I want to know more of that story. I could

890
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:53,280
be wrong, but I feel like the mob, like someone

891
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,719
in the mob high ranking getting revealed that always like

892
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:57,880
maybe having an affair on his wife's Like I don't

893
00:40:57,880 --> 00:40:59,920
think that's like a big thing, right, Like I feel like,

894
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,760
so I'm curious to see what more there is to

895
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,679
that story. Or maybe he's like high ranking because remember

896
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,599
we had in the Iceberg Lounge and the Batman, we

897
00:41:08,639 --> 00:41:11,360
had a lot of politicians hanging out there, So maybe

898
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:13,880
he is a maybe Michael Kelly, that guy, he's a

899
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,960
political figure himself, like he's not supposed to be with

900
00:41:17,119 --> 00:41:20,480
these mobsters. So I think there's more that's gonna happen,

901
00:41:20,519 --> 00:41:21,960
and good thing is I know it's gonna be falled

902
00:41:22,039 --> 00:41:22,239
up on.

903
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:26,360
Speaker 4: So yeah, no, I'm intrigued to see what because when

904
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,159
I first saw the photos, I thought it was like

905
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,400
a councilman in the full like the actual photo, And

906
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,639
then I was intrigued on because I took it like

907
00:41:35,679 --> 00:41:41,920
Carmen Carmen Carmine like had that as leveraged for like

908
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:44,119
someone like, I don't know, the mayor or someone like

909
00:41:44,199 --> 00:41:45,880
in the office so that he could just do his

910
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:46,639
power plays.

911
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,800
Speaker 2: And then the photo isn't actually of someone like that,

912
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,320
it's another member of the family. So I don't know.

913
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,639
I was just confused on what that was.

914
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 4: But yeah, I don't know where I was going with

915
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:03,039
that so if he has great Sophia, Yeah, oh yeah,

916
00:42:03,559 --> 00:42:05,960
I was gonna just shout out again calin Ferrell's Penguin.

917
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:10,360
I love that scene when she questions him of like interesting,

918
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:12,320
I was meeting with my brother and we were talking

919
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,199
about this plan and like this is between us, and

920
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,599
like he doesn't even like skip a beat or sweat

921
00:42:17,119 --> 00:42:19,480
in the moment or like at least reveals it that

922
00:42:19,559 --> 00:42:22,039
he is nervous just right away. It's like man, like

923
00:42:22,159 --> 00:42:23,760
he kept you in the dark too, Like he told

924
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:25,239
me that it was just me and him, like like

925
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,840
like he's just so smooth of just working on his

926
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:32,440
feet and and just bullshitting his way out of these situations.

927
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:36,639
And just calin Ferrell's performance was just fantastic and that

928
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:37,960
I really really liked it.

929
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:40,079
Speaker 3: Yeah.

930
00:42:40,079 --> 00:42:42,519
Speaker 1: Any thoughts on Sophia and what's gonna happen with her

931
00:42:42,599 --> 00:42:45,039
this season, Well, I.

932
00:42:45,039 --> 00:42:47,400
Speaker 3: Mean, you guys highlighted it just a little bit earlier.

933
00:42:47,559 --> 00:42:49,639
I was trying to figure out exactly why she was

934
00:42:49,679 --> 00:42:52,719
locked up in Arkham, not just I assume it wasn't

935
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:54,719
just like a simple murder, but probably something else a

936
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:55,599
little bit more serious.

937
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:59,039
Speaker 1: No, she's probably like I don't think she operates away

938
00:42:59,039 --> 00:43:01,760
because technically she's a but it would kind of almost

939
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,320
be on the serial killer if they pull from the

940
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,280
com books the hang Man, it's like a serial killer,

941
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:08,679
it's aweso. She's with the mob, so it's more like

942
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,920
mob killings. But still it's that like multiple victims. You know,

943
00:43:12,039 --> 00:43:12,719
ba could jazz.

944
00:43:15,199 --> 00:43:15,320
Speaker 2: Well.

945
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:17,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's just she's an interesting character and I had

946
00:43:17,599 --> 00:43:20,719
no idea what to expect from her in this show.

947
00:43:21,159 --> 00:43:24,239
I don't know a lot about the Falconies and the

948
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:28,960
Maronis so but the names are definitely familiar. I'm pretty uh.

949
00:43:31,159 --> 00:43:32,679
I was gonna say, yeah, they were all mentioned in

950
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:36,480
the Nolan trilogy. So all in all, I think she's

951
00:43:36,519 --> 00:43:39,519
definitely been scary. She has that aesthetic and that vibe

952
00:43:39,559 --> 00:43:42,079
that hey you're you know, we're friends, we're getting lunch

953
00:43:42,119 --> 00:43:44,039
together yet YadA yea. And then she just turns on

954
00:43:44,159 --> 00:43:48,840
a dime. And I thought that that scene where she was.

955
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:51,440
Speaker 2: Basically just with.

956
00:43:51,599 --> 00:43:56,159
Speaker 3: Cobble plot in the restaurant and Oswald just totally takes

957
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:59,440
in what she was accusing him, or not accusing but implying,

958
00:44:00,079 --> 00:44:02,639
and he just turned around into some crazy deal and

959
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:06,039
she's like, excuse me, and it just totally totally works out.

960
00:44:06,079 --> 00:44:10,360
So I really liked how Oswald. Oswald did that. But yeah,

961
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:15,480
she's just she's terrifying and she's powerful, and yeah, she

962
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,639
she won't hesitate to execute you do.

963
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:21,760
Speaker 1: You think he was planning on killing her when he

964
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:24,440
invited her back to the club, because he's like, oh, you, oh,

965
00:44:24,519 --> 00:44:26,840
take a look, see if everything's clean, like that'd be bold.

966
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:29,159
But I just thought like he was inviting her to

967
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:31,400
the club, and it's like, well, you know, that's how

968
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:32,039
I got wrong the thin.

969
00:44:32,199 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 4: So I don't think so, because I think he was

970
00:44:35,559 --> 00:44:38,519
really confident in his cleanup of it, so it's like, yeah,

971
00:44:38,559 --> 00:44:39,559
we'll go there, and then she.

972
00:44:39,639 --> 00:44:41,039
Speaker 2: Can be convinced that that's that.

973
00:44:41,119 --> 00:44:44,599
Speaker 4: Because I also think that she if she's already sus

974
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:47,000
of him, I'm sure she's capable of taking him out

975
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,559
on her own, but I still feel like she would

976
00:44:49,639 --> 00:44:51,400
have back up because.

977
00:44:51,159 --> 00:44:54,280
Speaker 1: She is there by herself, like Alberto.

978
00:44:54,679 --> 00:44:58,320
Speaker 4: But I took it like he was just really trying

979
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,840
to double down on his lie, like well, I know

980
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:02,719
it's clean, so yeah, let's go check it out, like

981
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:05,519
maybe we'll find him there, right, And.

982
00:45:05,599 --> 00:45:07,800
Speaker 1: I did, like just little stuff where they're talking and

983
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:10,320
she's like, oh, the car and the purple like, oh no,

984
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:12,239
it's plump. I like that. It was just a minor

985
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:14,679
conversation and then til later on being like, well, that's

986
00:45:14,679 --> 00:45:16,719
a problem with having a plumb car. Not many people

987
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,000
have that color. And that leads to like, you know,

988
00:45:19,119 --> 00:45:22,199
all this guy says, which a great scene too of Okay,

989
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:26,239
this guy says, you know saw you at the club

990
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:29,400
the same night my brother went missing. You know, is

991
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:31,239
he lying? He's like, yeah, he's lying, and then she

992
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:33,360
just shoots him. We talked about earlier for her to

993
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:35,000
make a point saying like he would just say any

994
00:45:35,039 --> 00:45:38,559
story to a sacrifice or he's willing to sacrifice a

995
00:45:38,639 --> 00:45:41,559
life to just give credence to his story. But I

996
00:45:41,639 --> 00:45:44,320
loved how just like sudden, that was not even like

997
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:46,559
a gunpoint to the guy. Just now, she just killed

998
00:45:46,599 --> 00:45:50,480
that car robber, you know, hijack or whatnot. So again,

999
00:45:50,559 --> 00:45:52,360
she's gonna be just as brutal as him. So I'm

1000
00:45:52,559 --> 00:45:55,119
I'm very she's doing a great job, and I'm interesting

1001
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:59,239
there dynamic moving forward. So let's take her next ad

1002
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:02,920
break and then we'll be right back. All right, we're back,

1003
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:04,360
and then what I want to pull up. Is there

1004
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:06,519
some no kirklanm did you have somewhere you want to go?

1005
00:46:07,159 --> 00:46:08,760
Speaker 2: That's fine, you go ahead, Okay, you.

1006
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:10,159
Speaker 1: Can come back there after. But what I want to

1007
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:14,480
pull up is all during this episode. I was gonna

1008
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:16,559
say this one thing first, but during this episode lots

1009
00:46:16,559 --> 00:46:19,519
of Riddler illusions. They talk about how he's been arrested.

1010
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:20,800
You see him on the news.

1011
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 2: Can the QR code fuck off?

1012
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:26,760
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, you got Penguin I like, And that's I

1013
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:30,760
still like with the criminals versus the weirdos is when

1014
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:33,320
they're driving it's after the first night vicing Penguin in

1015
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:35,599
the car and Penguin's like, I can't believe what this

1016
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:38,360
mad man did this city, you know, And because to them,

1017
00:46:38,679 --> 00:46:41,039
they still think they're running it as a like an

1018
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:44,400
organized way. It's still kind of the legacy of the

1019
00:46:44,519 --> 00:46:46,800
mob and buy the book like, yeah, they're doing bad things.

1020
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:48,400
Was like, well that's how you do and got them

1021
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:50,239
where the way Riddler did. It's like that, it's like

1022
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:53,159
that's a real criminal, Like that's a real bad guy. Yeah,

1023
00:46:53,199 --> 00:46:56,159
so I like that Penguin said that, but this was

1024
00:46:56,199 --> 00:46:59,679
actually the QR code that was skin It does come

1025
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:02,320
with some stuff yeah, it's a full in code. So

1026
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:05,719
this is a clockbreaker. At first, I thought it was

1027
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:11,679
Clockbrock clock cockbro I thought it was cock blocker at first,

1028
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:15,719
Like that's an interesting name. But u's been put in motion,

1029
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:20,079
can't stop Arkham's releasing patients and Blackgate is a mess.

1030
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:23,119
Uh No, one's really a prisoner in there, not even

1031
00:47:23,159 --> 00:47:25,519
our old pal Salamroni, which is kind of like a

1032
00:47:25,559 --> 00:47:28,760
good allusion to like when Penguin gets in there, he

1033
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:30,519
goes to sit down, so I was like, no, no,

1034
00:47:30,679 --> 00:47:32,800
that's not my table, my tails over here. So again

1035
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:35,239
it's like he's in prison, but he can also still

1036
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:39,400
like do drug drop shit bent Like he's running things

1037
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:41,679
from the inside as much as he can, right, And

1038
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,280
that whole this little speech there about like, oh, they're

1039
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:47,039
releasing prisoners for Arkham. That's what makes me wonder about

1040
00:47:47,119 --> 00:47:50,239
Sophia of like was she supposed to be longer? And

1041
00:47:50,559 --> 00:47:53,079
she wasn't, you know, So that's what makes me a

1042
00:47:53,119 --> 00:47:55,280
little curious. Here. I'm trying to get the full thing

1043
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:57,079
here because I don't want to keep pausing. Oh no,

1044
00:47:57,199 --> 00:48:05,400
it scrolls down, My goodness, let's see great on air TV.

1045
00:48:05,519 --> 00:48:08,119
But at least you know Tayo's keeping us busy, right right,

1046
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:15,719
Oh yeah, Dexter, Let's see, we're gonna go to him.

1047
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:17,199
He's just gonna go one. He's not gonna be there.

1048
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:20,039
He's gonna be there. People say they want the truth,

1049
00:48:20,119 --> 00:48:22,760
but they shield their eyes when they shine the light.

1050
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:26,440
Let's make sure they're not blinded again to the corruption,

1051
00:48:26,599 --> 00:48:29,639
the killings, and the Falcone power grab. We start in

1052
00:48:29,679 --> 00:48:32,119
the streets tonight at nine pm. We meet at the

1053
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:36,639
Metro outside Crown Point. Done and done. The revolution is

1054
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:38,920
just getting started, which is interesting. I don't think that's

1055
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:41,039
gonna happen in the show, but I will wonder if

1056
00:48:41,079 --> 00:48:44,519
them being so specific with like a location and a

1057
00:48:44,679 --> 00:48:46,440
date and a time the show. I'm not sure, but

1058
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:49,599
I like that the Riddler's presence has still felt also,

1059
00:48:49,679 --> 00:48:52,320
it's still not that long, but there's multiple things like

1060
00:48:52,679 --> 00:48:56,199
and that fits because like his character was like an

1061
00:48:56,320 --> 00:49:00,480
online person that got people rawled up right, He's you

1062
00:49:00,559 --> 00:49:02,599
know what we see a lot today in our culture.

1063
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:06,079
So really liking those aspects of where they're still being around.

1064
00:49:06,159 --> 00:49:08,599
And I'm not sure I knowing then we could get

1065
00:49:08,599 --> 00:49:11,320
a QR code every episode. I'm I'm always down to

1066
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:12,239
see it they're cooking, you.

1067
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:15,800
Speaker 4: Know, I mean complete agreeance with everything you said. I

1068
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:18,360
kind of alluded in the spoiler free section, but yeah,

1069
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:21,119
I just love that he is felt and I like

1070
00:49:21,199 --> 00:49:24,840
that you how you uh highlighted there just the difference

1071
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:29,280
between the mobsters that like like, yeah, they're evil people,

1072
00:49:29,559 --> 00:49:32,079
but like they have somewhat of a code, whereas like

1073
00:49:32,119 --> 00:49:34,360
what the Riddler was doing, it seemed like I guess

1074
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:36,480
he had his own code for like what he was doing,

1075
00:49:36,559 --> 00:49:38,840
but like it is just breaking down the whole system, right,

1076
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:42,360
like like crumbling the whole kingdom, whereas the mob doesn't

1077
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:43,719
want that to happen because they want they want to

1078
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:45,440
make money. They're in the business and making money and

1079
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:49,280
flooding everything is obviously bad for business. I mean, the

1080
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:52,159
falcones are pulling out right of the whole city.

1081
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:54,119
Speaker 2: So I really really like that.

1082
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:56,159
Speaker 4: And yeah, I just I love that moment on the

1083
00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:59,559
train of like this fucking weirdo going up to out

1084
00:49:59,599 --> 00:50:01,840
of any one like the penguin and you just like

1085
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:04,280
get the fuck out of my face. It's just so

1086
00:50:05,079 --> 00:50:07,599
done with these fucking weirdo's in their masks.

1087
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:12,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good. Any thoughts some Riddler or anything else

1088
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:13,480
on Riddler.

1089
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:15,760
Speaker 3: I mean, I think the QR code was pretty cool.

1090
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:18,000
I did not know, but I speculated that it was

1091
00:50:18,039 --> 00:50:21,519
going to have some kind of larger thing. I almost

1092
00:50:21,599 --> 00:50:23,599
with my phone out to give it a scam, but

1093
00:50:23,639 --> 00:50:26,400
I did not, So thank you for doing the dirty work.

1094
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:28,880
Speaker 1: It's always someone on the internet. Yeah again, I personally

1095
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:31,079
did not. It's always somebody else that did it. So

1096
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:32,840
thank you to whoever that user was.

1097
00:50:34,639 --> 00:50:37,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just it's nice that the show so far

1098
00:50:37,559 --> 00:50:41,719
as paying tribute to these already pre established storylines and characters,

1099
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:43,559
and so I think it was pretty neat the guy

1100
00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:47,239
wearing kind of like a Riddler esque mask. And for

1101
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:52,519
some reason, when like jumping away from Riddler, when Penguin

1102
00:50:52,599 --> 00:50:55,880
went to Blackgate, I for some reason was thinking like.

1103
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:58,679
Speaker 2: Oh, maybe you'd see a fall Dana.

1104
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:01,719
Speaker 3: Well not, I was thinking, like we see like a

1105
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:03,440
Joker episode one.

1106
00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:07,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's not the case. He's like, I'm a

1107
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:10,039
semblated team. You to enjoin me.

1108
00:51:10,519 --> 00:51:12,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he's an arcam. I don't think he

1109
00:51:12,559 --> 00:51:14,239
gets the Black too.

1110
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:18,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, because Black as Black e's like the lesser danger.

1111
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:20,440
Speaker 2: Well comes like a mental asylum, right.

1112
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:23,280
Speaker 1: Yes, technically that's why people get out of it so

1113
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:27,119
easily because it's it's it's a it's not really a prison,

1114
00:51:27,199 --> 00:51:29,400
but yeah it is a mental asylums. Be like, oh,

1115
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:31,199
this guy's six, so send them there, but it doesn't

1116
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:33,559
work on Black eight is more the official prison.

1117
00:51:34,599 --> 00:51:37,360
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, they're familiar.

1118
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:41,400
Speaker 4: Something else I wanted to shout out was, uh, Travis,

1119
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:43,480
he kind of brought it up, just like Penguin has

1120
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:45,719
somewhat of his own score. I thought like the music

1121
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:48,639
and score in general of this whole episode was so good.

1122
00:51:49,159 --> 00:51:51,800
Speaker 2: The very specific.

1123
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:54,679
Speaker 1: Scored by Michael Gacchino's son Mike. There you go.

1124
00:51:55,079 --> 00:51:56,880
Speaker 2: Oh mg, there we go.

1125
00:51:57,440 --> 00:52:01,159
Speaker 1: Nepotism at its finestinos.

1126
00:52:00,559 --> 00:52:02,920
Speaker 2: Four out of ten for this over this whole Yeah

1127
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:04,800
that no.

1128
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:06,199
Speaker 5: I I the.

1129
00:52:08,159 --> 00:52:10,480
Speaker 4: I can't remember which specific moment it was, whether it

1130
00:52:10,599 --> 00:52:14,519
was after the dinner, but Sophia like whispers in a

1131
00:52:14,559 --> 00:52:17,199
penguin's ear, like you know, like like a lot of

1132
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:20,280
people underestimate you, but I I won't do that.

1133
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:23,199
Speaker 2: I know what you're capable. And then they like face

1134
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:25,519
down and there's no like music or anything.

1135
00:52:25,679 --> 00:52:27,840
Speaker 4: And then as soon as I don't know, they like

1136
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:30,679
say something and she just like stares right at him,

1137
00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:34,599
and it has this like tense little like violin or

1138
00:52:34,679 --> 00:52:37,440
something that just hits It's like a it's just so

1139
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:40,639
chilling that like like it like her look alone is

1140
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:42,320
able to just like violin.

1141
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:45,719
Speaker 1: I think you're right, I said, Hillo, violin sounds more correct.

1142
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:49,119
Speaker 4: So like it's just really eerie though, like I think

1143
00:52:49,159 --> 00:52:52,000
her stare alone is like something that would like instill

1144
00:52:52,079 --> 00:52:55,039
fearing him, but like adding on the violin is just

1145
00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:59,920
like oh, like like goosebumps and really really really well placed.

1146
00:53:00,079 --> 00:53:05,280
So yeah, shouts out to Mike. Yeah, nepotism.

1147
00:53:05,679 --> 00:53:07,320
Speaker 1: Ye, shout out to nepotism.

1148
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:09,440
Speaker 2: You know there's not enough on it, and yeah we

1149
00:53:09,559 --> 00:53:10,199
need more of it.

1150
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:11,800
Speaker 1: Let's not let us break into it.

1151
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:14,800
Speaker 2: I don't want to know any unknowns. I only want

1152
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:15,360
big names.

1153
00:53:16,199 --> 00:53:19,239
Speaker 1: Yeah. If there's not one nepotism high in this project,

1154
00:53:19,519 --> 00:53:26,400
it's a fan. I think that's it for me for specifics.

1155
00:53:26,519 --> 00:53:28,920
I think I'm trying to think there's anything else, But

1156
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:30,960
til you get anything, I think I.

1157
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:31,360
Speaker 3: Can think of.

1158
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:35,000
Speaker 4: I loved uh just the end, going back to Dolly

1159
00:53:35,039 --> 00:53:37,639
part in ninety five when it's just like the end

1160
00:53:37,679 --> 00:53:39,639
credits roll like as soon as I played, and like

1161
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:42,079
the episodees are it's like this is such a fucking

1162
00:53:42,159 --> 00:53:44,320
good time, like I cannot wait for next next week's

1163
00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:46,280
episode now, And yeah.

1164
00:53:46,679 --> 00:53:49,239
Speaker 1: Good little moment there when he oz was being chased,

1165
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:52,039
and one when they showed the car with the door open.

1166
00:53:52,159 --> 00:53:53,760
Even for my brain, I didn't know he was in

1167
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:56,280
the trumpet, like that's an odd like it was just

1168
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:58,159
odd of like the car being old. I don't know why,

1169
00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:00,360
but just the most movies, just like the doors clothes,

1170
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:02,679
and when he popped the trunk, I liked that he

1171
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:06,519
had like whatever that knife hidden their device thing stab.

1172
00:54:06,679 --> 00:54:08,800
The guy gets hit by a city school bus and

1173
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:11,000
Penguin just gets like his little like his little wave

1174
00:54:11,079 --> 00:54:14,079
to the kids and everything, like I get you. Some

1175
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:17,800
nice comedic moments, but still a very dark comedy obviously,

1176
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:20,159
or dark Meat goes and say it's a dark comedy,

1177
00:54:20,199 --> 00:54:22,960
but yeah, I like that. And then he just I

1178
00:54:23,159 --> 00:54:25,480
liked that he didn't get away because when I was

1179
00:54:25,519 --> 00:54:28,039
watching this, like Penguin's choking him, he's fighting me stabs,

1180
00:54:28,079 --> 00:54:29,639
I'm like, oh, I guess Pekle's just gonna powers his

1181
00:54:29,639 --> 00:54:31,400
way out of this, but really he just like he

1182
00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:34,239
outsmarted them for a second. And then he beat one guy,

1183
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:35,960
but then he still got caught. You know, like if

1184
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,599
he didn't have his backup plan of VIC and driving

1185
00:54:38,679 --> 00:54:42,000
them everything like that, then it would be a situation

1186
00:54:42,079 --> 00:54:43,000
where he'd be screwed.

1187
00:54:43,079 --> 00:54:43,679
Speaker 2: So I like that.

1188
00:54:44,639 --> 00:54:47,159
Speaker 1: Superman Mike ass thoughts on the relationship with his mom.

1189
00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:49,039
We get the after cooking you need.

1190
00:54:49,079 --> 00:54:53,000
Speaker 4: Something ad there just just super bad Mike's comment. Really

1191
00:54:53,039 --> 00:54:55,960
that's too No, I'm glad. I'm glad he brought that

1192
00:54:56,079 --> 00:54:57,880
up because I like in in the moment, I never

1193
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:00,920
watched The Sopranos. Maybe that's a bucket list show.

1194
00:55:01,199 --> 00:55:01,880
Speaker 1: It is, for sure.

1195
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:05,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, all the time, it's on Crave, like it's on Yeah, okay,

1196
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:08,760
there you go one day. I remember my parents watched

1197
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:11,159
it when it was live, But that seems like, fuck,

1198
00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:13,119
twenty years you gotta be twenty years ago.

1199
00:55:13,119 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 1: One thousand dollars per episode, it's that good, even if

1200
00:55:16,039 --> 00:55:16,679
you have craves.

1201
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:20,639
Speaker 4: Yeah okay, and then oh okay, damn, I would rewatch

1202
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:22,960
fucking Knuckles before that happened, and.

1203
00:55:23,199 --> 00:55:27,159
Speaker 2: Not the show. I kind of forgot about what the

1204
00:55:27,199 --> 00:55:29,440
fuck was it? Just what am I doing here? Oh? Yeah,

1205
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:31,039
there you go? Relationship with his mom?

1206
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:33,400
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, no, I never watched the Sopranos, but I'm

1207
00:55:33,840 --> 00:55:35,960
I really really just love the dynamic there because it's

1208
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:41,400
another I guess, humanizing trait to have him Penguin. It's like, yeah,

1209
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:44,119
everybody has a mom, and even the penguin has a mom.

1210
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:47,800
And I like, how initial Alberto, you know, like you

1211
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:49,199
got a woman in your life, Like he gives him

1212
00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:50,800
that necklace for that purpose, and then the woman in

1213
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:52,679
his life is his mother and he gives it to her.

1214
00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:54,000
Speaker 2: There. I laugh so hard.

1215
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:56,719
Speaker 4: She goes in the kitchen or the liver room whatever

1216
00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:58,480
it is in Fixtious there, it's like, what the fuck

1217
00:55:58,519 --> 00:55:59,440
are you doing in my house?

1218
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:01,679
Speaker 2: Like she just instantly freaking out.

1219
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:05,519
Speaker 1: I thought that was hilarious, but I was thought she

1220
00:56:05,639 --> 00:56:07,519
might be sick or something like that at first, as

1221
00:56:07,519 --> 00:56:09,440
I go, does she have dementia something? Because she was

1222
00:56:09,519 --> 00:56:13,960
acting like pretty oft and everything. But yeah, I like it.

1223
00:56:14,039 --> 00:56:16,559
It's funny because like in Gotham, Penguin had like an

1224
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:19,880
interesting relationship with his mother as well, so it seems

1225
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:21,800
to be a recurring thing with Penguin that he has

1226
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:23,440
like the TV show Gotham.

1227
00:56:24,159 --> 00:56:26,719
Speaker 2: Oh yes, that's like.

1228
00:56:28,559 --> 00:56:30,880
Speaker 1: That's younger, that's not a bucket list one. Now that

1229
00:56:31,079 --> 00:56:34,719
that's only if you're into some hardcore Batman stuff. But

1230
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:37,440
and you gotta watch just like a what if because

1231
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:40,440
it's it's all the villains, it's it's not the greatest.

1232
00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:42,679
But as a Batman fan, ha, you know, scratched it

1233
00:56:42,719 --> 00:56:45,199
in for a while, but yeah, no, I enjoyed it.

1234
00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:47,679
I'm I'm curious the same thing with her status at

1235
00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:49,840
the end of it. If she's a character, that's the

1236
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:52,559
one I could see more her taking the plunge of

1237
00:56:53,079 --> 00:56:56,199
losing character cares about then him killing Vic because there's

1238
00:56:56,199 --> 00:56:57,400
two of them and I just don't think both of

1239
00:56:57,400 --> 00:56:59,440
them are going to make it to the Batman. Maybe

1240
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:01,360
you don't have to, maybe she just would be off screen,

1241
00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:04,000
But no, I like that seems like from his light

1242
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:07,599
maybe just from the beginning as well, because it seems

1243
00:57:07,639 --> 00:57:09,599
like he has a couple of deformities that maybe she's

1244
00:57:09,639 --> 00:57:11,639
always had to talk him up and drama, but maybe

1245
00:57:11,679 --> 00:57:13,159
she does it too much, you know, to the point

1246
00:57:13,199 --> 00:57:14,920
where she probably should be egging him on to like

1247
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:17,599
take over golf and like just he wants to get

1248
00:57:17,599 --> 00:57:18,840
out of there and be alive, but she say, no,

1249
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:20,519
this is your city. It's like, well, he really has

1250
00:57:20,599 --> 00:57:22,840
no stake to it right now, but he could make

1251
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:25,480
the play for it, but that leads to some dangerous decisions.

1252
00:57:25,519 --> 00:57:27,519
So I think there could be some more fun scenes

1253
00:57:27,559 --> 00:57:29,920
with the moum. So I did like that dynamic.

1254
00:57:32,559 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 2: Cool.

1255
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:36,159
Speaker 1: Taya thought it was a cool dynamic. Ta is ready

1256
00:57:36,199 --> 00:57:39,920
to ready to call it anything else for this show,

1257
00:57:41,199 --> 00:57:44,800
not for me. All right, then we'll call it there.

1258
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:48,719
We'll be back in ten days because these are switching

1259
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:52,440
to Sundays now, so back to our Sunday hbo Quave reviews.

1260
00:57:52,519 --> 00:57:55,760
So we will be there reviewing every single episode Penguin,

1261
00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:56,920
and it will not be boring.
