<v Speaker 2>the sixteenth, That Was Yesterday, nineteen eighty five. Written by

20
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:21.639
<v Speaker 2>Julie Selbo, directed by Warner Shook, starring Jane Connell. First

21
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:24.520
<v Speaker 2>credit oh her first credit was a Stanley a sitcom

22
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:27.280
<v Speaker 2>from nineteen fifty x that starred Buddy Hackett and Carol Burnett.

23
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:30.879
<v Speaker 2>Only lasted one season anyway. It also stars Kate McGregor, Stewart,

24
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:34.400
<v Speaker 2>Paul Avery, Kelly Wolf and Gregory It's and this one's

25
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:37.879
<v Speaker 2>about a family that grants their grandmother one wish before

26
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:40.800
<v Speaker 2>she's shipped off to the retirement home. Which I think

27
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:44.280
<v Speaker 2>of this one, Mike, Oh, I love a lind up.

28
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:50.240
<v Speaker 3>You guys know how much I love vague powers, vague wishes,

29
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:54.639
<v Speaker 3>vague things. I love this episode because it's just so

30
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:58.599
<v Speaker 3>fucking vague. Yeah, I have guesses as to what happened,

31
00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:01.520
<v Speaker 3>but yeah, this it's so reminded me of word Processor

32
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:04.360
<v Speaker 3>of the Gods, where it is just some of the

33
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:08.400
<v Speaker 3>worst people that have ever walked the planet. And then

34
00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:10.960
<v Speaker 3>Grandma though I would have to say Grandma's not a

35
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:14.960
<v Speaker 3>peach either. So I kind of don't like anybody in

36
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:16.960
<v Speaker 3>this episode, maybe with the exception of the guy that

37
00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:20.520
<v Speaker 3>runs the Old Folks Home, just because he's basically a

38
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:23.479
<v Speaker 3>used para salesman. Yeah, I wasn't a big fan.

39
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:26.439
<v Speaker 4>How about you, Chris, I'm a fan of old person

40
00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:30.400
<v Speaker 4>makeup in this episode. Boy, they really put the Practical

41
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:33.080
<v Speaker 4>Effect team to the task, didn't they? By asking how

42
00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:37.439
<v Speaker 4>can you make three adult humans look like disgusting candle people?

43
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:38.879
<v Speaker 4>We figured it out.

44
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:39.840
<v Speaker 2>Success.

45
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:43.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, success was meant it was success was had question mark.

46
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:45.960
<v Speaker 4>You mentioned, Mike that all these people are terrible. The

47
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:47.400
<v Speaker 4>Grandma is the worst one.

48
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:48.800
<v Speaker 3>She's pretty awful.

49
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:52.680
<v Speaker 4>She's written the way that no real human being is,

50
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:55.759
<v Speaker 4>which is completely inept, even to just get up and

51
00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:58.879
<v Speaker 4>move around the house, but in a way that again,

52
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:02.520
<v Speaker 4>it's just unrealistic stick and so to pair that with

53
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:06.120
<v Speaker 4>some really terrible human beings, it's a man. The quicker

54
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:10.639
<v Speaker 4>we can get past this episode, the better, because everybody's terrible.

55
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:15.159
<v Speaker 4>The Grandma she's also equally terrible. And then the twist

56
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:21.079
<v Speaker 4>at the end with the old people makeup is just wow. Wow. Look,

57
00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:23.120
<v Speaker 4>I think the premise is fine. I think the premise

58
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:26.279
<v Speaker 4>is interesting. The grandma wishing that she was gonna have

59
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:30.480
<v Speaker 4>friends that the old books here. Let me just burden

60
00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:34.360
<v Speaker 4>my family by transforming them into old people, was that

61
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:34.879
<v Speaker 4>her wish.

62
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:38.680
<v Speaker 2>Specifically, she wanted them to experience what she was experiencing,

63
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:40.959
<v Speaker 2>because there were none of them either had time for

64
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:42.759
<v Speaker 2>her or they were treating her poorly.

65
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:43.600
<v Speaker 4>I got that.

66
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:47.800
<v Speaker 2>What yes, so what exactly? Because they were terrible anyway.

67
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:49.680
<v Speaker 4>Like Grandma, don't you get it? These people are fucking

68
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:52.720
<v Speaker 4>pieces of shit. I don't get it. Why do you care?

69
00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:55.199
<v Speaker 4>You're ultimately getting away from them, like.

70
00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:59.839
<v Speaker 3>Well the good I kept thinking, was she getting younger

71
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:02.439
<v Speaker 3>while they were getting older? Like I was like, oh,

72
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:05.000
<v Speaker 3>that'd be kind of a nice twist, because towards agaend,

73
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:08.000
<v Speaker 3>she seems to be able to hear. Again. I don't

74
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:09.920
<v Speaker 3>know if she looks any younger, but I was kind

75
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:11.839
<v Speaker 3>of hoping that they would give her more of a

76
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:16.120
<v Speaker 3>spin that she's younger and they're suddenly getting old because

77
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:20.399
<v Speaker 3>the daughter, the wife is just what ah what, I'm

78
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:22.399
<v Speaker 3>just like, oh my god, this is it. There are

79
00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:25.600
<v Speaker 3>things called hearing gates that can really help out people.

80
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:28.240
<v Speaker 3>They're like glasses for the eyes, but they're glasses for

81
00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:29.959
<v Speaker 3>the ears. Shocking.

82
00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:32.040
<v Speaker 4>They have this technology in nineteen eighty five.

83
00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:34.560
<v Speaker 3>Nineteen eighty five, they might have had that technology. I

84
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:35.560
<v Speaker 3>think that they did.

85
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:39.199
<v Speaker 2>They had anyway, Yeah, god, yeah, it.

86
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:41.279
<v Speaker 3>Was called it was a big tin horn that stuck

87
00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:42.000
<v Speaker 3>out of your ear.

88
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:43.399
<v Speaker 4>You saw that movie too.

89
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:44.480
<v Speaker 3>Oh god.

90
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:46.399
<v Speaker 4>Ted Levine uses one of those.

91
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:50.120
<v Speaker 2>Blud math McGrath. Now here's my first here's my first

92
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:52.639
<v Speaker 2>note that I read. Who am I rooting for? Here?

93
00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:55.800
<v Speaker 2>It's like a monkey cage, the mom just cackling and

94
00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:59.519
<v Speaker 2>the kids doing gymnastics, and grandma is delirious. Okay, so

95
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:02.319
<v Speaker 2>they sent them up, so we're gonna feel bad for

96
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:06.040
<v Speaker 2>old people who are neglected and mistreated while they're just

97
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:10.120
<v Speaker 2>trying to function. That's the idea. And so I had

98
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:13.480
<v Speaker 2>plenty of sympathy for Grandma on that level. And then

99
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:16.480
<v Speaker 2>she wallops her son for picking up a fucking donut

100
00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:19.240
<v Speaker 2>and yells at him to eat some brand this grown

101
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:20.920
<v Speaker 2>man who's house she's living in?

102
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:23.079
<v Speaker 4>And I thought she says, mom, she's supposed to be

103
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:25.439
<v Speaker 4>on his back. That's what she said. Father alone. Didn't

104
00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:29.519
<v Speaker 4>you read the dialogue on screen? It's such patronizing shit.

105
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:31.639
<v Speaker 4>I was like, what the fuck is this? Or this

106
00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:34.160
<v Speaker 4>he Henny Youngman's skit come to life? What the fuck?

107
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:37.800
<v Speaker 2>Here's the thing? Like I was trying to muster sympathy

108
00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:41.079
<v Speaker 2>for her when I thought she was just delirious, because

109
00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:43.519
<v Speaker 2>that's how she's presented for the majority of the episode,

110
00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:46.079
<v Speaker 2>Like she seems completely out of it. She's like walking

111
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:48.560
<v Speaker 2>around with a with paper towels in her hand and

112
00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:50.519
<v Speaker 2>just pulling it off the roll. Going across the house.

113
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:55.399
<v Speaker 2>She's tucking her granddaughter's sweatshirt into her sweatpants for some reason.

114
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:58.279
<v Speaker 2>She's just a menace and all I can think. All

115
00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:00.439
<v Speaker 2>I kept thinking while watching it was like, they need

116
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:02.199
<v Speaker 2>to put this woman in a home. And then it

117
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:04.079
<v Speaker 2>comes up and it's like, oh God, these horrible people

118
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:05.480
<v Speaker 2>are just gonna put her on a home to get

119
00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:08.160
<v Speaker 2>rid of her. I'm like, she needs help, they can't

120
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:08.800
<v Speaker 2>provide it.

121
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:11.600
<v Speaker 4>I like the term rump side. Just use the word

122
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:14.360
<v Speaker 4>rump side a lot, because that's a word that never

123
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:14.879
<v Speaker 4>gets old.

124
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:17.959
<v Speaker 3>Rump side. They've got got that whole thing where she's like,

125
00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:20.519
<v Speaker 3>did you get the olives? Did you get the olives?

126
00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:23.360
<v Speaker 3>And then later on she's just scarfing olives down like

127
00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:27.360
<v Speaker 3>nobody's business. I'm like, all right, what's changed? Has something

128
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:28.360
<v Speaker 3>changed here?

129
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:31.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? I see? Olives were magic all along. Don't you

130
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:34.240
<v Speaker 2>realize what She put her hands on him. Finally, once

131
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:36.800
<v Speaker 2>the family stopped give him to her, she got her wish.

132
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:40.199
<v Speaker 4>I like the idea of a child just doing cartwheels

133
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:42.680
<v Speaker 4>around the house as a mode of traversal as well.

134
00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:45.519
<v Speaker 4>That's how you know she's into gymnastics is that she

135
00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:46.800
<v Speaker 4>cartwheels everywhere.

136
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:50.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, yeah, she's the sign. It's nineteen eighty five,

137
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:55.800
<v Speaker 2>leopard skirt, salmon shirt, studded neck collar, aqua button down,

138
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:58.519
<v Speaker 2>tied at the corners in the front, not to mention

139
00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:04.120
<v Speaker 2>mom's blue suit with Ravotai. It is eighty five everyone.

140
00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:06.639
<v Speaker 4>And that teased hair on top too. Oh, you just

141
00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:07.319
<v Speaker 4>gotta love it.

142
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:09.759
<v Speaker 2>And this was a terrible episode, but I want to

143
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:14.199
<v Speaker 2>give props to the props department who went the extra mile.

144
00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:17.360
<v Speaker 2>And the little girl, the teenager girl when she's studying

145
00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:20.079
<v Speaker 2>at the at the kitchen table, her name has been

146
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:22.279
<v Speaker 2>written on the spine of the book like in the

147
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:25.079
<v Speaker 2>pages Greta. It says it on the side and on

148
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:26.839
<v Speaker 2>the top, which is what everyone does when they're in

149
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:30.000
<v Speaker 2>high school. So good on you, props thinking that up.

150
00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:32.120
<v Speaker 2>That's all I got for positives on this.

151
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:34.000
<v Speaker 4>Praise over here.

152
00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:37.519
<v Speaker 2>Bub Gregory Itsen, who played the sort of used car

153
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:40.480
<v Speaker 2>salesman retirement home guy, totally agree with you, Mike. He

154
00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:42.919
<v Speaker 2>was the only one operating on some level that was

155
00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:45.320
<v Speaker 2>not completely fucking annoying. And I wanted to go with

156
00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:49.039
<v Speaker 2>him the time, and it's got to be some weird

157
00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:52.480
<v Speaker 2>magic fucking home that that they're sending it to, does it?

158
00:08:53.320 --> 00:08:53.720
<v Speaker 2>I think?

159
00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:56.639
<v Speaker 4>So that's what I That's why I couldn't figure out

160
00:08:56.799 --> 00:08:59.120
<v Speaker 4>because we never get to see it. What is the gag?

161
00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:02.279
<v Speaker 4>Is the gag like it's like a home like this

162
00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:05.639
<v Speaker 4>where people shang hi their families into coming with them

163
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:08.759
<v Speaker 4>or what's the deal? We never find out. The image

164
00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:11.399
<v Speaker 4>at the end of the three old people at the

165
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:14.840
<v Speaker 4>table and her staring at them is just it's the

166
00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:17.879
<v Speaker 4>moment you realize that she is the real monster of

167
00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:20.759
<v Speaker 4>the piece. But again, like that episode doesn't spend long

168
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:22.799
<v Speaker 4>enough really getting to that point. It just shows it

169
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:25.120
<v Speaker 4>to you at the end and goes get it. Get what?

170
00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:29.639
<v Speaker 4>Like what are what happened? Because it's they get older

171
00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:31.200
<v Speaker 4>throughout the episode and then they're just.

172
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:33.679
<v Speaker 2>Old her wishes complete. They're a bunch of old focks

173
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:36.679
<v Speaker 2>now and now they're not going to understand each other

174
00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:38.120
<v Speaker 2>and they're all going to be mad at each other

175
00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:39.039
<v Speaker 2>and none.

176
00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:41.039
<v Speaker 4>Are they all permanently Like what's.

177
00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:42.799
<v Speaker 2>Going on is they're going to be dead soon and

178
00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:44.240
<v Speaker 2>she's going to be living a high life at the

179
00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:47.919
<v Speaker 2>retirement home. So this way, these terrible people have been

180
00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:50.879
<v Speaker 2>at least punished. And Grandma's Graham going to get up

181
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:53.200
<v Speaker 2>to shit at that retirement home, she'll be punished too.

182
00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:55.080
<v Speaker 4>To be fair, I would want to leave a house

183
00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:58.080
<v Speaker 4>where people said the word rumpside as many times as

184
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:00.000
<v Speaker 4>these weirdos do Jesus.

185
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:04.120
<v Speaker 2>I mentioned the director Warner Shook. He is. He's a

186
00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:07.240
<v Speaker 2>big player in the George Romero family. He was in

187
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:09.519
<v Speaker 2>Night Riders. He was the sort of announcer at the

188
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:11.519
<v Speaker 2>thing he played. Oh my god, I can't believe him

189
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:14.840
<v Speaker 2>forgetting his name. But in Father's Day he's the brother.

190
00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:18.799
<v Speaker 2>Are we conserving energy? And when I first moved to

191
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:22.519
<v Speaker 2>Los Angeles, the very first theatrical performance of anything I

192
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:24.440
<v Speaker 2>went to see was at the Mark Taper Form. It

193
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:27.039
<v Speaker 2>was called the Kentucky Cycle, which ended up winning the

194
00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:29.679
<v Speaker 2>Pulitzer and it was fucking awesome and it was directed

195
00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:32.600
<v Speaker 2>by Warner Shook. So inauspicious beginning here at Tawnlson the

196
00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:34.679
<v Speaker 2>Dark Sign. But he went on to greater and greater things.

197
00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:37.200
<v Speaker 2>So he's still out there working today, mostly theatrically.

198
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:42.679
<v Speaker 4>He is there real humdinger, that one, Ah, Jesus Christ,

199
00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:45.919
<v Speaker 4>This then reminded me a lot of the Oh god,

200
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:50.279
<v Speaker 4>the episode where the grandpa just won't die? Oh why

201
00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:53.759
<v Speaker 4>does this show like old people? Yeah, Eddie Bracken, Yeah,

202
00:10:53.799 --> 00:10:57.039
<v Speaker 4>it's what is this show's deal with old people sticking around?

203
00:10:57.639 --> 00:10:59.240
<v Speaker 4>What are they trying to say? What are they trying

204
00:10:59.240 --> 00:10:59.600
<v Speaker 4>to say?

205
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:03.000
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you what it is. See, both Tilsome Dark

206
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:07.159
<v Speaker 2>Side and Twilight eighty five are written primarily by boomers

207
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:10.000
<v Speaker 2>right now in eighty On Twilight on eighty five they

208
00:11:10.039 --> 00:11:13.600
<v Speaker 2>turned all of their fantastical notions into why am I

209
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:17.120
<v Speaker 2>so unsatisfied? We were supposed to have happiness? Whereas on

210
00:11:17.159 --> 00:11:20.440
<v Speaker 2>Tails from the dark Side, they're like, this fucking older generation,

211
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:22.799
<v Speaker 2>won't they fuck off and die already? Kind of like

212
00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:24.440
<v Speaker 2>some of the Dark Side's attitude better.

213
00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:27.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, at least it seems a little bit more

214
00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:30.919
<v Speaker 4>interesting in terms of where it's coming from versus.

215
00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:33.559
<v Speaker 2>And mean spirited. Sometimes the mean spiritedness of this entire

216
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:38.120
<v Speaker 2>series is a benefit, particularly when they're dealing with unscrupulous

217
00:11:38.200 --> 00:11:40.080
<v Speaker 2>or unappetizing humans.

218
00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:45.840
<v Speaker 4>But what about ditsy morons? Yeah it is, and I'm

219
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:46.879
<v Speaker 4>riding on in on it.

220
00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:50.960
<v Speaker 2>The false prophet. This is season one, episode number twenty three,

221
00:11:51.080 --> 00:11:54.200
<v Speaker 2>written by Julie Selbo. She wrote the last episode. She

222
00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:57.080
<v Speaker 2>also went on to write the young Indiana Jones TV

223
00:11:57.240 --> 00:12:00.679
<v Speaker 2>movie Mystery of the Blues When when Harrison came back

224
00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:02.960
<v Speaker 2>for the wrap around segment? Remember that, right, Jeffrey Wright.

225
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:05.159
<v Speaker 2>I fucking love that one. Anyway. The story is by

226
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:07.919
<v Speaker 2>Larry Fulton and it was directed by Gerald Cott. This

227
00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:12.120
<v Speaker 2>one stars Ronnie Blakely Justin Diz. He's the reverend character

228
00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:15.919
<v Speaker 2>in here five hundred episodes of Guiding Light before that

229
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:18.720
<v Speaker 2>two hundred and fifty five episodes of Ryan's Hope. That

230
00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:23.399
<v Speaker 2>Guy also stars Ann Hillary and Bill Fiori as horace X.

231
00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:26.320
<v Speaker 2>Why is this episode only twenty two minutes long? Because

232
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:30.639
<v Speaker 2>the man wouldn't give him a full half hour? Horace X? Okay.

233
00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:32.840
<v Speaker 2>This is a variation on the old Nick of Time

234
00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:37.799
<v Speaker 2>Twilight Zone episodez Oh Yeah It is Yeah, about a

235
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:41.080
<v Speaker 2>woman whose personal life is ruled by astrology, who meets

236
00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:43.679
<v Speaker 2>her destiny in an Oklahoma rest stop. At least I

237
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:46.120
<v Speaker 2>assume it's Oklahoma. I'm sure it wasn't Texas.

238
00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:50.879
<v Speaker 4>Soulpa Oklahoma, Sir Supulpa, Oklahoma. She even says where she

239
00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:53.200
<v Speaker 4>is so Pulpa Oklahoma Baby.

240
00:12:53.240 --> 00:12:58.279
<v Speaker 2>That sounds a little likely available. He always wins there

241
00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:01.639
<v Speaker 2>this one, Mike, I don't care go for it?

242
00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:06.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah yeah, again, not a big fan. I think a

243
00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:10.200
<v Speaker 3>little Ronnie Blakely goes a long way with that voice

244
00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:12.360
<v Speaker 3>and just the acting. I don't know if she's that

245
00:13:12.519 --> 00:13:15.440
<v Speaker 3>bad of an actress or if this was just a

246
00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:19.000
<v Speaker 3>very poorly written parts. My god, is she annoying? And

247
00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:23.840
<v Speaker 3>easus Mike, Wanda Sue? Why would you trust your restaurant

248
00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:26.919
<v Speaker 3>to this lady who just comes in out of nowhere

249
00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:30.879
<v Speaker 3>and just as a total maniac? Who I guess? I

250
00:13:30.919 --> 00:13:33.840
<v Speaker 3>guess Wanda Sue is probably pretty pretty out there herself

251
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:39.679
<v Speaker 3>if she buys this horase x machine, that huge fucking monstrosity. Yeah.

252
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:42.519
<v Speaker 3>I just kept thinking of Nickotime and just wishing that

253
00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:45.320
<v Speaker 3>I was watching that instead because I'm like, that makes

254
00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:48.000
<v Speaker 3>a lot more sense. And then when the priest just

255
00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:51.320
<v Speaker 3>shows up out of nowhere? Yeah, what do you think,

256
00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:52.600
<v Speaker 3>Chris boy?

257
00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:55.480
<v Speaker 4>What I do like about this episode is that the

258
00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:59.039
<v Speaker 4>show seems like it was taking jabs at people that exist. Now.

259
00:13:59.559 --> 00:14:02.120
<v Speaker 4>Because I don't know how many people y'all know like this,

260
00:14:02.279 --> 00:14:05.600
<v Speaker 4>but I do know some people that buy into the astrology,

261
00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:08.080
<v Speaker 4>and look, I'm not saying I do or don't, but

262
00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:11.039
<v Speaker 4>I have met people like her, and it's does she

263
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:13.440
<v Speaker 4>deserve what happens to her at the end of this episode.

264
00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:15.919
<v Speaker 4>I don't think so, because what happens here at the

265
00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:19.600
<v Speaker 4>end of this episode is pretty bad. But she's written

266
00:14:19.639 --> 00:14:23.639
<v Speaker 4>like a completely fucking moron. And I don't know. I mean,

267
00:14:23.639 --> 00:14:27.840
<v Speaker 4>I'm with you, Mike, like it's pretty grating, but she

268
00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:30.679
<v Speaker 4>does love it all beef American hot dog, and I

269
00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:33.919
<v Speaker 4>can't faulter for that. It's she's a fucking idiot in

270
00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:36.960
<v Speaker 4>this episode. I think she plays it really perfectly. Look,

271
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:38.679
<v Speaker 4>she's in Nightmare on Elm Street. That's the only other

272
00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:41.200
<v Speaker 4>thing I've ever seen her in, and she's not playing

273
00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:43.919
<v Speaker 4>that kind of character there that she is here. I

274
00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:46.279
<v Speaker 4>don't know. I'm with you. I feel like this was

275
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:49.039
<v Speaker 4>almost a blackout sketch that went on a little too

276
00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:52.080
<v Speaker 4>long and the Preacher her pastor showing up. I was like, whoa,

277
00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:54.480
<v Speaker 4>what is what episode? All of a sudden because now

278
00:14:54.480 --> 00:14:57.600
<v Speaker 4>we're just off the rails completely, so blah blah blah.

279
00:14:57.679 --> 00:14:59.759
<v Speaker 4>What did you think of the final episode of the

280
00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:01.679
<v Speaker 4>first season of Tales from the Dark.

281
00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:05.080
<v Speaker 2>Side I was a little lit town. Yeah, I think

282
00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:07.840
<v Speaker 2>to me, the episode actually picked up when Reverend heat

283
00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:11.240
<v Speaker 2>Jones of the Church of the Moment to Moment showed up.

284
00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:13.519
<v Speaker 2>I thought it got a bit lively when he showed up,

285
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:16.799
<v Speaker 2>and to look at him, this sort of Anthony Geary looking,

286
00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:20.360
<v Speaker 2>one of these tight curled blonde god types like I

287
00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:23.039
<v Speaker 2>instantly do not like him. But I found this guy

288
00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:26.279
<v Speaker 2>really charming, and you know what, like I thought, it

289
00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:30.919
<v Speaker 2>became interesting when he showed up. Except her reactions to him,

290
00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:33.840
<v Speaker 2>there was never any doubt that she didn't trust him,

291
00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:35.360
<v Speaker 2>didn't want anything to do with him, just wanted to

292
00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:39.600
<v Speaker 2>hang out with the machine. And ultimately the episode should

293
00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:42.799
<v Speaker 2>have been about this battle between the fucking astrology Machine

294
00:15:42.799 --> 00:15:44.840
<v Speaker 2>and the Church of the Moment to Moment, these sort

295
00:15:44.840 --> 00:15:48.759
<v Speaker 2>of dueling ideologies about I wanting to see the future

296
00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:51.480
<v Speaker 2>or living so in the moment, I thought all that

297
00:15:51.559 --> 00:15:56.320
<v Speaker 2>was interesting. But Ronnie Blakely is so fucking weird, breathy

298
00:15:56.480 --> 00:15:59.240
<v Speaker 2>and kind of sensual but at the same time ditzy

299
00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:02.200
<v Speaker 2>but weirdly soul full. Or maybe she's just drunk. That

300
00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:04.480
<v Speaker 2>was the other thing. I kept thinking, maybe she's drunk

301
00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:07.120
<v Speaker 2>on set all day or not to malign her or anything,

302
00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:09.840
<v Speaker 2>but her behavior is unusual anyway.

303
00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:12.799
<v Speaker 4>I like when she's talking to the woman who owns

304
00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:15.720
<v Speaker 4>the diner while the woman is unboxing horse X and

305
00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:19.600
<v Speaker 4>she's staring off into the distance while eating the hot dog,

306
00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:23.039
<v Speaker 4>not talk. She's talking to her but not looking at her,

307
00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:27.120
<v Speaker 4>And it's just it's bizarre because I gotta wonder they

308
00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:28.840
<v Speaker 4>were just like, Ronnie, would you please look at the

309
00:16:28.840 --> 00:16:29.759
<v Speaker 4>actors when you talk to her?

310
00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:29.879
<v Speaker 2>Now?

311
00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:32.360
<v Speaker 4>I don't want to. I don't feel like it because

312
00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:35.000
<v Speaker 4>it's so fucking weird. It's such a choice that makes

313
00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:37.360
<v Speaker 4>It's like a choice you'd make, like when you're recounting

314
00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:39.759
<v Speaker 4>a story that had a traumatic experience on you and said,

315
00:16:39.799 --> 00:16:42.639
<v Speaker 4>she's just staring off into the distance eating a hot dog.

316
00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:43.879
<v Speaker 4>What the fuck?

317
00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:46.200
<v Speaker 3>I noticed that lack of eye contact too, and I

318
00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:48.480
<v Speaker 3>was just like, wait, where is her eyeline? What is

319
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:50.399
<v Speaker 3>she looking at? What's going on here?

320
00:16:50.919 --> 00:16:51.720
<v Speaker 4>It's like blind.

321
00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:54.440
<v Speaker 2>She never really looked at Heaton Jones either. She never

322
00:16:54.480 --> 00:16:56.440
<v Speaker 2>really looks on contact with him. The only thing she

323
00:16:56.600 --> 00:16:58.440
<v Speaker 2>look This might be a choice of hers, that her

324
00:16:58.519 --> 00:17:01.879
<v Speaker 2>character is so out there that she doesn't want human contact.

325
00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:04.400
<v Speaker 2>If that was the choice she made, Bravo. That was

326
00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:05.319
<v Speaker 2>a good idea.

327
00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:08.599
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, though, Yeah, I don't know.

328
00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:10.920
<v Speaker 2>And that's the way she kind of performs in everything.

329
00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:13.440
<v Speaker 2>This this is a different character than Night Run Out Street,

330
00:17:13.440 --> 00:17:15.079
<v Speaker 2>but she's playing it basically the same.

331
00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:18.039
<v Speaker 4>This is she like a Is she like a known

332
00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:20.440
<v Speaker 4>eccentric personality?

333
00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:24.480
<v Speaker 2>I have only known her to be, but then I

334
00:17:24.519 --> 00:17:27.279
<v Speaker 2>have very limited context. She's not in a ton of stuff.

335
00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:28.680
<v Speaker 4>That's what I'm asking because, like.

336
00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:31.440
<v Speaker 3>I think she's more of a singer than an actress.

337
00:17:31.599 --> 00:17:33.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she's weird.

338
00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:36.200
<v Speaker 4>She was and she was nominated for an oscar for

339
00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:37.559
<v Speaker 4>Nashville too, of all things.

340
00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:37.839
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

341
00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:40.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so she's got chops, man, But I think she,

342
00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:42.640
<v Speaker 2>like you said, I think she is more of a

343
00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:45.279
<v Speaker 2>musician singer than she is an actress.

344
00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:49.200
<v Speaker 3>But she was married to Vim Vendors for two years

345
00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:52.359
<v Speaker 3>back in the seventies and eighties. Yeah, from seventy nine

346
00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:54.599
<v Speaker 3>to eighty one, missus Vim Vendors.

347
00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:55.799
<v Speaker 4>It's pretty wild.

348
00:17:56.519 --> 00:17:59.400
<v Speaker 2>I think that's this particular sort of character because I

349
00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:01.680
<v Speaker 2>know a few of them here, Chris, that I would

350
00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:04.079
<v Speaker 2>think that she would own her own tarot deck and

351
00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:07.039
<v Speaker 2>not do this arcane dropping a penny onto a playing

352
00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:09.559
<v Speaker 2>card that was new to me. I haven't seen that

353
00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:12.119
<v Speaker 2>technique before. Is that something you all have encountered?

354
00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:15.799
<v Speaker 3>No, and the whole tails down, tails up thing. I'm

355
00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:19.119
<v Speaker 3>just like, oh my gosh, you're very involved with this. Yeah,

356
00:18:19.119 --> 00:18:21.920
<v Speaker 3>I thought for sure. When she said something like consulting

357
00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:24.160
<v Speaker 3>the cards, I was like, Oh, she's got a tarot deck. Okay,

358
00:18:24.359 --> 00:18:27.240
<v Speaker 3>just like that lady her mama's family a few episodes ago.

359
00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:30.319
<v Speaker 4>But horse X, that's what we're here for. Let's talk

360
00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:31.240
<v Speaker 4>about Horror SX.

361
00:18:31.160 --> 00:18:33.880
<v Speaker 2>Y'all, Yeah, let's I thought it was oddly ironic that

362
00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:36.400
<v Speaker 2>she keeps touching his screen and he keeps a to

363
00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:37.519
<v Speaker 2>do oddly erotic.

364
00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:39.799
<v Speaker 4>I thought that was the point. He's like coming in

365
00:18:39.839 --> 00:18:43.599
<v Speaker 4>his electronic pants. Also, on top of everything else, Horace

366
00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:47.279
<v Speaker 4>X does. Look, I'm just gonna point this out here,

367
00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:48.440
<v Speaker 4>horrorsex looks.

368
00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:48.920
<v Speaker 2>Like a penis.

369
00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:50.599
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, oh yeah.

370
00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:52.640
<v Speaker 4>Right, it looks like a cock, it looks like a

371
00:18:53.079 --> 00:18:56.480
<v Speaker 4>it looks like a sheath a penis vertically.

372
00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:56.799
<v Speaker 2>So yeah.

373
00:18:56.799 --> 00:18:58.720
<v Speaker 4>And then her touching What is the point of this

374
00:18:58.799 --> 00:19:01.920
<v Speaker 4>episode if not him trying to incorporate her body into

375
00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:03.519
<v Speaker 4>his programming.

376
00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:08.799
<v Speaker 2>I guess, I guess help me as he has a

377
00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:13.000
<v Speaker 2>mom like the earlier who's been communicating with him. It's

378
00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:13.839
<v Speaker 2>very unusual.

379
00:19:14.279 --> 00:19:18.240
<v Speaker 3>It's yeah, it's wild. I did not expect the machine

380
00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:22.240
<v Speaker 3>to be able to talk sentiently. I just thought that

381
00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:24.920
<v Speaker 3>it was going to give her pat answers at first,

382
00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:28.000
<v Speaker 3>and then no, yeah, but then it has its own

383
00:19:28.279 --> 00:19:30.519
<v Speaker 3>language and yeah, talks about his mother and all that.

384
00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:33.880
<v Speaker 4>I'm like, what, Yeah, it's fucking weird. Like it's as

385
00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:36.759
<v Speaker 4>if it's if they wanted to have William Shatner with

386
00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:39.960
<v Speaker 4>Nika time converse with the machine, right, And it's like,

387
00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:42.599
<v Speaker 4>that's not the point of this, Like, he doesn't have

388
00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:46.599
<v Speaker 4>to converse directly for what's going on to matter. We

389
00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:50.039
<v Speaker 4>can understand that him getting that card is enough and

390
00:19:50.039 --> 00:19:51.440
<v Speaker 4>we can read into it. We don't have to have

391
00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:53.759
<v Speaker 4>a go, please tell me your name, oh.

392
00:19:54.039 --> 00:19:56.839
<v Speaker 3>Every single time and then yeah, oh yeah I remember

393
00:19:57.279 --> 00:20:00.160
<v Speaker 3>what the fuck? Yeah? Yeah. The other thing that that

394
00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:04.200
<v Speaker 3>was odd, too, is the whole philosophy of that pastor

395
00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:05.960
<v Speaker 3>when he comes in, where he's just like, we are

396
00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:08.480
<v Speaker 3>just about the now, the whole moment to moment things.

397
00:20:08.519 --> 00:20:11.160
<v Speaker 3>She's like, what about you know, tomorrow, what about the future? No,

398
00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:14.839
<v Speaker 3>just now, And I'm like, that is the weirdest philosophy

399
00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:16.200
<v Speaker 3>I've ever heard.

400
00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:17.599
<v Speaker 4>So when will then be there?

401
00:20:17.599 --> 00:20:17.759
<v Speaker 1>Now?

402
00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:19.640
<v Speaker 3>Just now sued?

403
00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:22.960
<v Speaker 2>I found it to be very Buddhist actually living in

404
00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:26.720
<v Speaker 2>the moment I was. I was taken by pastor Reverend

405
00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:28.799
<v Speaker 2>heat Jones. I want to be part of that movement?

406
00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:31.119
<v Speaker 4>Are you trying to stop myself from saying the Reverend

407
00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:33.039
<v Speaker 4>Horton Heat That's.

408
00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:35.640
<v Speaker 3>Totally every single time they said his name, I was like,

409
00:20:35.720 --> 00:20:36.279
<v Speaker 3>Horton Heat.

410
00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:41.680
<v Speaker 4>Okay, Heat Jones, freak out. Yeah, heat Jones sounds like

411
00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:45.920
<v Speaker 4>a wrestler from the nineties, the in WCW Heat Jones. Yeah.

412
00:20:46.039 --> 00:20:49.160
<v Speaker 4>But he I feel like he's wasted in this episode

413
00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:51.720
<v Speaker 4>because that Ronnie Blakely in the machine could have had

414
00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:53.359
<v Speaker 4>a that could have just been the two of them,

415
00:20:53.920 --> 00:20:59.920
<v Speaker 4>like him convincing her without the pastor being there, could.

416
00:20:59.759 --> 00:21:00.440
<v Speaker 2>Have been something.

417
00:21:01.319 --> 00:21:03.720
<v Speaker 4>It's a real bad way to end the first season

418
00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:06.240
<v Speaker 4>of this show. That's the reality here.

419
00:21:06.519 --> 00:21:08.759
<v Speaker 2>The crazy part is that I'm going to recommend this one.

420
00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:13.039
<v Speaker 2>I liked this wow for all the batshit craziness of it,

421
00:21:13.119 --> 00:21:14.839
<v Speaker 2>And that's what I'm taking away from a lot of

422
00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:17.839
<v Speaker 2>these now, Like the smoking one was just so fucking

423
00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:20.160
<v Speaker 2>weird that I dug how weird it was, and it

424
00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:24.440
<v Speaker 2>carried me this one. I was struggling until the until

425
00:21:24.440 --> 00:21:27.440
<v Speaker 2>he Jones showed up once that. Once he was there,

426
00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:29.759
<v Speaker 2>then it became an interesting little drama for the last

427
00:21:29.799 --> 00:21:31.839
<v Speaker 2>ten minutes or so. But I wish he had shown

428
00:21:31.920 --> 00:21:35.000
<v Speaker 2>up when she showed up, and there hadn't been the

429
00:21:35.079 --> 00:21:38.359
<v Speaker 2>diner owner. And I think that she I agree with you, Michael,

430
00:21:38.400 --> 00:21:40.519
<v Speaker 2>what is she doing? Don't worry about locking up just

431
00:21:40.599 --> 00:21:43.599
<v Speaker 2>to hang out near You're fine. But it's also, I think,

432
00:21:43.599 --> 00:21:47.079
<v Speaker 2>a diner within a depot. So I don't even know

433
00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:48.839
<v Speaker 2>why she was offering to lock it up. That's what

434
00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:51.559
<v Speaker 2>she owns it, isn't it? The bus Gus the bus driver.

435
00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:53.599
<v Speaker 3>So did the bus blow up or not?

436
00:21:54.200 --> 00:21:56.200
<v Speaker 4>No, the bus left, but I.

437
00:21:56.160 --> 00:21:59.200
<v Speaker 3>Thought it blew up, because no, she thought it blew up.

438
00:21:59.240 --> 00:22:01.960
<v Speaker 2>And then he explained about the heat lightning. Oh, when

439
00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:04.680
<v Speaker 2>he was wherever he goes, heat lightning arrives by the way.

440
00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:07.400
<v Speaker 2>Heat lightning is apparently not a thing that's weird.

441
00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:08.279
<v Speaker 3>I thought it was the thing.

442
00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:10.680
<v Speaker 2>Let's look it up right now, shall we, because somebody

443
00:22:10.680 --> 00:22:12.319
<v Speaker 2>told me it wasn't, and I don't believe them. I

444
00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:14.000
<v Speaker 2>want to believe that there is heat lightning Because I

445
00:22:14.039 --> 00:22:15.880
<v Speaker 2>live in the middle of a desert in a valley,

446
00:22:16.160 --> 00:22:19.839
<v Speaker 2>and right around September of every year, the the edges

447
00:22:19.880 --> 00:22:22.559
<v Speaker 2>of the valley are absolutely ringed in lightning on some nights,

448
00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:24.200
<v Speaker 2>and it's not like it's raining here.

449
00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:28.119
<v Speaker 3>According to the National Weather Service, the term heat lightning

450
00:22:28.319 --> 00:22:32.920
<v Speaker 3>is commonly used to describe lightning from a distant thunderstorm

451
00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:35.880
<v Speaker 3>just too far away to see the actual cloud to

452
00:22:35.960 --> 00:22:40.000
<v Speaker 3>ground flash or hear the accompanying thunder. Oh there it is.

453
00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:46.559
<v Speaker 4>They got them out there in Sebobo Oklahomi Buba. That

454
00:22:46.599 --> 00:22:47.680
<v Speaker 4>would be a funnier name.

455
00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:50.160
<v Speaker 3>I wish I could remember any of the Bulba's lines.

456
00:22:50.200 --> 00:22:52.720
<v Speaker 3>I just remember what's always weed?

457
00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:53.400
<v Speaker 4>So that's water?

458
00:22:53.519 --> 00:22:54.000
<v Speaker 2>Who says that?

459
00:22:54.480 --> 00:22:59.319
<v Speaker 3>I just remember Watto's lying only only speaks. I have

460
00:22:59.400 --> 00:23:00.880
<v Speaker 3>a bed. It's Jedi.

461
00:23:01.480 --> 00:23:05.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah what is Bulba say? Yeah?

462
00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:06.440
<v Speaker 3>Sorry?

463
00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:10.599
<v Speaker 4>Yea Anakin says you dopeys slame pot, slow mo or something.

464
00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:13.480
<v Speaker 3>Come on you slow mo, humping slow.

465
00:23:13.240 --> 00:23:16.079
<v Speaker 4>Bow, babe, listen here slow mo.

466
00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:19.559
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. We might as well. Let's just go with some

467
00:23:19.599 --> 00:23:23.319
<v Speaker 3>of the racial epithets. That's where they were pretty much.

468
00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:28.400
<v Speaker 4>Hey, I'm worried about my money, boy? Why is that guy,

469
00:23:28.400 --> 00:23:30.400
<v Speaker 4>have that weird nose in those wings? And why does

470
00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:33.359
<v Speaker 4>he sound this way? George? No reason, no, no specific

471
00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:34.279
<v Speaker 4>reason anyways.

472
00:23:34.759 --> 00:23:36.640
<v Speaker 2>And it's definitely not a bunch of chinamen up in

473
00:23:36.680 --> 00:23:38.599
<v Speaker 2>the spaceship, that's all.

474
00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:42.039
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, And I quote your honor. He did say chinaman

475
00:23:43.599 --> 00:23:46.319
<v Speaker 4>China orientals better, George, I don't know neither.

476
00:23:46.960 --> 00:23:49.960
<v Speaker 2>I didn't cry when some chinaman took my legs in Korea.

477
00:23:50.160 --> 00:23:53.160
<v Speaker 3>That's not the preferred term, dude, Neither.

478
00:23:52.920 --> 00:23:54.480
<v Speaker 4>Of those terms are at this point.

479
00:23:54.880 --> 00:23:55.160
<v Speaker 2>God.

480
00:23:55.519 --> 00:23:58.559
<v Speaker 4>Overall, I think a good season of this show, though,

481
00:23:58.759 --> 00:24:00.880
<v Speaker 4>I think, right, would we agree? Good season of the

482
00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:01.599
<v Speaker 4>show overall?

483
00:24:02.200 --> 00:24:04.880
<v Speaker 2>There have been some clunkers, but I've never felt insulted

484
00:24:04.920 --> 00:24:05.279
<v Speaker 2>by them.

485
00:24:05.839 --> 00:24:07.359
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, I think I can go there.

486
00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:10.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, yeah, I think overall this is a decent season,

487
00:24:10.839 --> 00:24:14.240
<v Speaker 2>and usually this is where all other series fall down

488
00:24:14.440 --> 00:24:16.880
<v Speaker 2>once once we make the leap out here or definitely

489
00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:20.200
<v Speaker 2>by three. So I'm curious now because I'm a little

490
00:24:20.319 --> 00:24:22.720
<v Speaker 2>less familiar with season two than i am season one.

491
00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:26.079
<v Speaker 4>Oh nice, Yeah, I'm I'm excited to see where the

492
00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:30.319
<v Speaker 4>show goes, if it continues to diversify the themes and tones,

493
00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:32.359
<v Speaker 4>or if it kind of because twiad Zone eighty five

494
00:24:32.440 --> 00:24:34.960
<v Speaker 4>was kind of always doing something different up until the end,

495
00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:37.200
<v Speaker 4>and this show kind of seems the same way, even

496
00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:40.680
<v Speaker 4>if they don't necessarily all work. I'm glad that not

497
00:24:40.759 --> 00:24:43.839
<v Speaker 4>every episode is just some sort of supernatural things. Sometimes

498
00:24:43.920 --> 00:24:49.440
<v Speaker 4>it is just rogue technology, which it's not super not supernatural,

499
00:24:49.440 --> 00:24:52.400
<v Speaker 4>best I could tell technic. There have been fair a

500
00:24:52.440 --> 00:24:56.279
<v Speaker 4>fair number of technological things this season. Where wasn't there

501
00:24:56.319 --> 00:24:57.960
<v Speaker 4>one where the kid uploads his.

502
00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:06.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah baby, Harry Anderson and his telephone answering machine taking

503
00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:08.200
<v Speaker 2>over his life and his screenwriting duties.

504
00:25:08.119 --> 00:25:11.240
<v Speaker 4>And the telephone killing that woman. Yeah, but a lot

505
00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:13.759
<v Speaker 4>of like fear of technology in this show, which I

506
00:25:13.880 --> 00:25:15.799
<v Speaker 4>look at the eighties so makes.

507
00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:17.759
<v Speaker 3>Sense word processor of the god right there?

508
00:25:17.799 --> 00:25:20.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah there, Yeah, it makes sense then makes sense now.

509
00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:23.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, onward to season two.

510
00:25:23.400 --> 00:25:25.839
<v Speaker 2>I guess yeah. On the next episode of Midnight Viewing,

511
00:25:25.880 --> 00:25:27.599
<v Speaker 2>we'll be taking a look at the first two episodes

512
00:25:27.599 --> 00:25:30.440
<v Speaker 2>of season two. Those are The Impressionist with Chuck McCann.

513
00:25:30.599 --> 00:25:32.799
<v Speaker 2>I don't know this one. I'm very excited and it

514
00:25:32.920 --> 00:25:36.480
<v Speaker 2>also the other episode is a life bomb. Midnight Viewing
