Speaker 1: John wrote a book. I know how we were like, oh,
Speaker 1: we should probably mention it. I just think it's really cool.
Speaker 1: John wrote a book.
Speaker 2: Oh, I think it's People might not know what it's about.
Speaker 3: The book is about fake video games. I did a
Speaker 3: video last year on fake video games, the phenomenon of
Speaker 3: people basically making up games on the Internet and giving
Speaker 3: them visuals so you would look at a screenshot and
Speaker 3: think it's real, but they're not real. And I wrote
Speaker 3: a book about those games. I searched far and wide
Speaker 3: and found the weirdest and most beautiful fake video games
Speaker 3: I could, and then I wrote fake retrospectives, previews, and
Speaker 3: reviews about them, and they all come from this alternate
Speaker 3: universe where things are going wrong and you can figure
Speaker 3: out what's going wrong in the universe by reading the reviews.
Speaker 3: It was really fun. I can't like a magazine of people,
Speaker 3: so the different staff are like writing the reviews. It's
Speaker 3: it's it was a very good Your book.
Speaker 4: Your book seems thick, like real thick, and I love
Speaker 4: how thick it looks. It looks heavy. Sorry, it looks.
Speaker 1: In so much emphasis.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, It's just it looks comfortable, But I'm not
Speaker 3: sure why it looks large and girthy and weighty and
Speaker 3: a thing I'd want to put on my coffee table.
Speaker 1: God damn it, John, is it too late to get
Speaker 1: a blurb quote? Because I feel like that's that's it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's We could print them and manually
Speaker 4: slide them in. Is an option, just throwing that out there.
Speaker 4: That is an option into a book, into the front cover,
Speaker 4: into the front sleep.
Speaker 1: Don't say it. Don't say more about slaves.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, everyone one Jeff Jeff's Bizarre Adventure.
Speaker 3: You can pick up the book a hollow press calm,
Speaker 3: just yes, okayllo press dot ne and I'll be right there.
Speaker 3: Bizarre World of Fake Video Games with my Super I Patchwolf.
Speaker 2: Available in English and Italian.
Speaker 3: English and Italian. Yeah you did it. You got an
Speaker 3: Italian dub an Italian.
Speaker 1: I'm our own.
Speaker 3: We just passed Italian language. So what made you reuse
Speaker 3: the word bizarre. It's just a good word. It's just
Speaker 3: it's not strange. Strange is understated. The strange world of
Speaker 3: fake video games. Oh maybe I'll watch that sometime. Maybe
Speaker 3: maybe there's something not compelling, something curious there, the bizarre world?
Speaker 3: What makes it bizarre. I gotta click on this video
Speaker 3: right now. I got a periorder of this book right now,
Speaker 3: at least three levels higher than strange.
Speaker 1: You asking why John used the word bizarre because we're
Speaker 1: in a podcast and it has your name next to
Speaker 1: the web bizarre.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just feel like we're circling in a litigious
Speaker 4: sort of area, and I just want to make sure
Speaker 4: we call these things out at the frontier so we
Speaker 4: all come out the other end, landing on our feet,
Speaker 4: if you will.
Speaker 2: What you're saying is like you are now like in
Speaker 2: a position where you're considering suing your own friend.
Speaker 1: Am for the web bizarre.
Speaker 4: Well, look that remains to be seen, Lucy, but certainly
Speaker 4: this wouldn't be the first time two friends have sued
Speaker 4: each other, or one against the other. I'll leave you
Speaker 4: to do your own research in that category.
Speaker 2: With an oasis by building hair, so we've gotta be
Speaker 2: careful hair.
Speaker 3: I feel like this is a court case where at
Speaker 3: some point I say into a microphone with tears streaming
Speaker 3: down my face, you wouldn't even watch anime without me?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Right, And wouldn't it be fun if, like, at one
Speaker 4: point we all just go to the judge, and we're like,
Speaker 4: just kidding, We're just kidding.
Speaker 3: Judges. Love that, Judges.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're not suing each other your goofball. We're just
Speaker 4: wasting tax dollars.
Speaker 2: I mean, there's more waste of tack dollars happening right
Speaker 2: now than worse than what we would be doing.
Speaker 3: Well, we're trying to do a little bit cool in America.
Speaker 3: I thought.
Speaker 2: Listen, everything is busted, all right.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Look, as someone who has had to cancel several international
Speaker 3: trips because I don't want to get stopped at a border,
Speaker 3: I get it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, have you started? Uh, John, have you yet provided
Speaker 2: your details to access the website? Yeah? That happening in No.
Speaker 3: No, that is not happening in our own damn hates it.
Speaker 3: You got a good yeah, but it is. Uh. Look,
Speaker 3: here's the only thing that really matters. It's Jeff Chef's
Speaker 3: bizarre Adventure. We're back. We've assembled our own personal band
Speaker 3: of the Hawk to raid through these two episodes. We
Speaker 3: got Lucy James.
Speaker 1: Very good. I like that intro.
Speaker 4: Wow, might strong. We got tamorro Hussein Hello, and Jeff
Speaker 4: A thanks for that enthusiastic intro. John, it's good to
Speaker 4: see you as well, looking healthy and looking just all
Speaker 4: around fantastic, the three of you.
Speaker 3: I must say, someone said I had a dad bod
Speaker 3: recently in a radio.
Speaker 4: That's an insult to Dad's.
Speaker 2: I don't think that person knows what every is.
Speaker 3: I feel like it was maybe a pretty loose.
Speaker 4: They were just Josh and there's just Josh a little bit.
Speaker 3: They were doing. But I was I was like, what,
Speaker 3: you know, what?
Speaker 5: You know?
Speaker 6: What?
Speaker 3: You know? What a comment does that to you? And
Speaker 3: you're like, Eh, people say things all the time.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 3: Yeah, people, no one in real life would dare No,
Speaker 3: no one would talk to you in real life.
Speaker 4: I think people say things all the time and they
Speaker 4: don't know what they mean. You know, that's just the way.
Speaker 4: That's just showbiz, baby, you know, people like focus M. Yes,
Speaker 4: it's true. I get a parade. Don't forget my parade today.
Speaker 3: In these episodes. But look, we'll get to that, uh
Speaker 3: general feeling. Guys, what what what do we think of
Speaker 3: these episodes?
Speaker 4: I I think if I could just interject, firstly, I
Speaker 4: think this is certainly a turning point, A duo of
Speaker 4: turning point episodes that you kind of know, kind of
Speaker 4: know all roads are going to lead to something. Now,
Speaker 4: I think this is a reverse red wedding kind of
Speaker 4: thing happened, Yeah, Lucy, can you keep me honest there?
Speaker 4: You keep me honest there.
Speaker 1: So instead of instead of a bunch of people being
Speaker 1: stabbed murdered in a house after accepting the salt and
Speaker 1: bread or whatever the hell that they did, this is
Speaker 1: what this is, because this is a celebration the red wedding,
Speaker 1: and the thing has really thrown me off.
Speaker 2: Here, Like the closest you get is being murdered outside
Speaker 2: instead of inside.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's kind of it. Yeah, that's sort of where I.
Speaker 1: Was like, right, right, right, right right, an inverse red wedding.
Speaker 4: Maybe an inverse red wedding? Very good?
Speaker 3: I like that. What did you say, Jeff? I said reverse?
Speaker 3: But Lucy's right. The better word is inverse.
Speaker 2: Reverse means it happened when, right, Yeah.
Speaker 4: Which would be cool, to be clear, But that's not
Speaker 4: what happened.
Speaker 3: Not to get on your case here, Jeff, but.
Speaker 2: You could never write a book, not with that kind
Speaker 2: of Jesus Christ, even though you have written a comic.
Speaker 4: But yeah, let's not read too much into that.
Speaker 1: I mean, I will say true, Jeff's Jeffs comic.
Speaker 4: Is really good.
Speaker 3: Lucy here ship talking his comic.
Speaker 1: I know, but it's actually really good.
Speaker 3: Dickhead.
Speaker 4: Yes, it's written by a Dickhead. That's Hound's credited at
Speaker 4: the bottom writer, head writer, dickhead head writer.
Speaker 1: Anyway, inverse Red Wedding.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I love these episodes. Obviously we are setting
Speaker 3: up for stuff, but I think it's a great story
Speaker 3: that can make the setups interesting. And man, there's just
Speaker 3: some fantastic shit here. So we open up on a
Speaker 3: scene of joy and celebration. Rose petals rain from the
Speaker 3: sky as the Band of Hawk return home victorious having
Speaker 3: defeated General Boscon and his super heavy mega whale. Holy
Speaker 3: Infantry nights.
Speaker 4: Just chopping horses, heads off, parade of heroes. Even Corcus
Speaker 4: gets his flowers. Yeah, I love how like the rest
Speaker 4: of the Band of Hawk is sort of just like, hey,
Speaker 4: we kind of didn't do ship, but we're here and
Speaker 4: we're just like sort of sneaking in before the door closes.
Speaker 3: It's pretty sweet. I mean, just you know, just happy
Speaker 3: to be here, right sure.
Speaker 2: Definitely, like because everyone else is just kind of a
Speaker 2: gosp what's happening. But Carcus is really drinking it in.
Speaker 2: He's doing like he dabs at one point, which is
Speaker 2: pretty cool.
Speaker 3: He absolutely dabs. But I think I think this is
Speaker 3: this is why Corcus got into the game, right. Like
Speaker 3: Corky is for the perks, he's not. He's not here
Speaker 3: to like, you know, save people. My man, Corcus is
Speaker 3: here to get fucking paid and.
Speaker 4: Seen it for the lady. That's what I am. In
Speaker 4: it for the women and only the women. As you'll
Speaker 4: see later on in this episode.
Speaker 1: Maybe the gold.
Speaker 4: Let's just say, I get my fill, if you know
Speaker 4: what I mean.
Speaker 3: I think, Lucy, first you get the gold and then
Speaker 3: later you get then.
Speaker 1: Why did you say that? Like the guy in the
Speaker 1: Simpsons are like, first you get the sugar, then I don't.
Speaker 2: Know a.
Speaker 3: Lot of things. Kind of just went into a blender there,
Speaker 3: Lucy and.
Speaker 4: Kind of blender the caucus blender.
Speaker 3: Caucus blender. That sounds like it's finishing move.
Speaker 4: Now on sell.
Speaker 3: But yeah, for for those for those who watch this episode,
Speaker 3: you'll have noted the unbelievably sick Carcus dab pose that
Speaker 3: he hits and it really just just fair play to
Speaker 3: that guy. It's my stand mm hmm. And you know,
Speaker 3: every every everyone seems pretty happy. Goods is a little
Speaker 3: bit like he's more subdued, you know, he's he's the
Speaker 3: opposite of Quirk because he's not in it for the money.
Speaker 3: He's kind of just like, Okay, this is something I guess.
Speaker 3: And then there's a moments where he he pictures Griffith
Speaker 3: naked m Apropos just as.
Speaker 4: As one does.
Speaker 2: There's there's one frame in this where Casco looks like,
Speaker 2: for some reason, she's been drawn by someone who's drawing
Speaker 2: for the first time, and it is a really weird face.
Speaker 2: It's like the weirdest face I've seen in this show
Speaker 2: the entire time. I'll put a picture in.
Speaker 4: This couple of weird faces, I think. I think you're right, Tam,
Speaker 4: I think there's a couple. There's a couple of scenes
Speaker 4: of weirdness.
Speaker 2: And then also they don't like change her expression between
Speaker 2: multiple backgrounds, so there's another shot later on where it's
Speaker 2: just the same show in the background.
Speaker 3: It's weird. It's weird that you bring this frame because
Speaker 3: that frame I'm going to try and find it in
Speaker 3: the manga here. It's actually one of my favorite drawings
Speaker 3: of Kaska, and they really they did not get it.
Speaker 2: This happens to you a lot. I feel like across
Speaker 2: Jojo and you know, this bit is looks really stupid,
Speaker 2: but in the manga it was one of my favorite
Speaker 2: things of all time. I've got a tattooed on my body.
Speaker 3: Oh you're right, and that's frustrating, but no, I'll try
Speaker 3: and find it here. But yeah, in general, like there's
Speaker 3: the sense that that our boys have made it. They
Speaker 3: have finally got to this point and achieved something they've
Speaker 3: always wanted to and the nobles are some of them
Speaker 3: are like, oh this, I suppose they deserve this. Then
Speaker 3: some of them are like, I don't know about any
Speaker 3: of this now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a lot of like, who are these motherfuckers
Speaker 4: energy play?
Speaker 1: They didn't like the game. They feel like they've got
Speaker 1: a cheek card and went straight to the top scheme, And.
Speaker 4: There's a lot of that who are these pieces as ship?
Speaker 2: Is what they say?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we we see the next scene and
Speaker 3: tim are they are they wrong?
Speaker 4: They're flocking?
Speaker 2: They're not right. I don't think wrong at all.
Speaker 3: And so the next scene we basically arrive at like
Speaker 3: a royal ball. Yeah, the band of Hawk are all
Speaker 3: dressed in formal wear and they look uncomfortable, and all.
Speaker 1: Looks so uncomfortable.
Speaker 3: We missed the most pimp and hat.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we missed the important like Egghead having his moment
Speaker 2: where he realizes remember, yeah he gets the Queen is like,
Speaker 2: are you ready for our secret plan? And egg gets yep,
Speaker 2: and then he opens the paper and goes, oh.
Speaker 3: Oh shit.
Speaker 4: Well, so I guess that's something I did want to
Speaker 4: discuss with you all. Maybe now it's not the right time.
Speaker 4: We should let the rest of the events play out.
Speaker 4: But they imply a lot of They imply I feel
Speaker 4: like multiple things with him receiving that letter and the
Speaker 4: way it all shakes out, I guess I don't know.
Speaker 4: It seems kind of like it seems kind of irresponsible
Speaker 4: to communicate with him in that way with all this
Speaker 4: information in there, in that room, with all those people,
Speaker 4: someone could just look over his shoulder and be like, wait,
Speaker 4: what's gonna happen.
Speaker 2: Everyone respected the sanctity of a seal back in the day,
Speaker 2: so if you saw a ceiling anything.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 4: Wax went a long way. Tim You're right, Yep, you're right.
Speaker 3: Okay, So for people curious, it is Chapter forty five
Speaker 3: of Berserk in volume eight. That is one of my
Speaker 3: favorite drawings of Kaska. It's about halfway down and it's
Speaker 3: a bunch of girls losing their shit over Kaska, and
Speaker 3: it's just a great drawing of her.
Speaker 4: That's a of like a Peanuts kind of face. She's got. Yeah,
Speaker 4: good grief is what I'd call this piece.
Speaker 3: But yeah, our boyfouse little egg man is you know
Speaker 3: what I'm just gonna say. He's perturbed.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's sweaty. You know, a lot of sweat this episode,
Speaker 4: a lot of sweat, a lot of droplets.
Speaker 3: Well, he knows he's kind of stuck between a rock
Speaker 3: and a hard place, right mm hm. And so then
Speaker 3: in the following scene is when we begin our ballroom
Speaker 3: excursion and the corcus mhm. That fucking hot? Am I right?
Speaker 4: That hat is?
Speaker 3: It is? Positively the honey is also.
Speaker 1: I will say that I like that every time you
Speaker 1: say Caucus, Jeff goes, he's really embodied.
Speaker 4: Like like I'm actually him, Like that is.
Speaker 3: Could you give this a little bit of Carcus buying
Speaker 3: the hat?
Speaker 4: Yes, that one, no, no, no, the shelf above it.
Speaker 4: Listen to me, listen to my voice, the gray one. Yes,
Speaker 4: with the feather. That's the one.
Speaker 3: Let me see it.
Speaker 4: Put it in my hands right now, Produce me a mirror.
Speaker 2: I really don't like what you said feather had like
Speaker 2: the end.
Speaker 4: I really like to put it in my hands. Yeah,
Speaker 4: there there, I'm pleasing the entire group. Yes, oh oh,
Speaker 4: this is the one. Yes, I like my fit. I'm
Speaker 4: what do you call.
Speaker 3: Rip? Okay, it's walks by the window and kind of
Speaker 3: looks in, Oh, your your hat looks nice, carcus, and
Speaker 3: then walks on.
Speaker 1: I don't know even even worse people walk past and
Speaker 1: just don't even acknowledge that.
Speaker 4: Don't wear it. Guts you too will be wearing a
Speaker 4: hat with a feather of this episode.
Speaker 2: I love he's in an episode.
Speaker 1: Why he got like a like a confession cam, Like
Speaker 1: he's in a fucking.
Speaker 3: Does he look into the viewer.
Speaker 4: I'm looking at you. I'm looking at the camera. Yes,
Speaker 4: giving you the the gym.
Speaker 3: Look, that's what I'm doing, viewer.
Speaker 2: I already like that.
Speaker 3: It's called help it.
Speaker 4: It's called suspending your disbelief, John, look it up.
Speaker 2: I like that Caucus is aware that he's a fictional
Speaker 2: character in a book or a TV series. I think
Speaker 2: that's a good wrinkle to him.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 4: It's called range. Okay, it's called having range as an actor.
Speaker 1: Have you noticed this? Sometimes Coolcus sounds like doctor evil?
Speaker 4: No, what do you mean now? A doctor evil?
Speaker 1: It was a little bit there was like.
Speaker 3: The I think it's a more.
Speaker 4: Multidimensional.
Speaker 3: What can I say?
Speaker 4: Thank you?
Speaker 3: Listen. I don't want to be vulgar here, I really don't.
Speaker 3: But Griffith is drowning and asked the second he walks into.
Speaker 4: This yo, yo, he could not care less. He could
Speaker 4: not be less interested that man. He's up to his
Speaker 4: chin and he's just like, yeah, whatever, Yeah, I got
Speaker 4: another ship cooking.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not on his list of things to do.
Speaker 1: Let's just put it that way.
Speaker 3: He's uh onlike goods say that again.
Speaker 4: I missed that.
Speaker 3: Please, He's the word play there that some people might miss.
Speaker 4: I need to hear it again because I missed it.
Speaker 2: Please say it in inverse for us, Yeah, yeah, do
Speaker 2: it that way.
Speaker 1: John's brain like John's got like the the spinning wheel above.
Speaker 3: The Immediately, Corcus is like this motherfucker looking at Griffith
Speaker 3: getting old girls. And that's when he is approached by ladies.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm, that's when the honeys come for Caucaus.
Speaker 4: Certainly, I didn't like that.
Speaker 1: I said that, and I was like.
Speaker 3: Really sound like something Corcus would say.
Speaker 4: No, I mean I don't know, No, certainly, I'm not
Speaker 4: above it. I'll take the table scraps.
Speaker 2: He's not table scrapping, Like, yeah.
Speaker 3: I think there's some pretty like you know, I didn't,
Speaker 3: And you seem to have some pretty high standards, said
Speaker 3: Jeff if these are the table scraps. But you know, okay, sure, I.
Speaker 1: Mean he's not going to be marrying a duchess, but
Speaker 1: he might get you know, like a lady of the court.
Speaker 4: I think Corcus is down for whatever. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I feel like Carcus somehow ends up in like really
Speaker 2: high nobility by some stroke of luck.
Speaker 3: I mean he's the kind who would right.
Speaker 2: How did he get here? And it's just like Caucaus things.
Speaker 3: Goods is also being approached by women and absolutely no
Speaker 3: idea what to do or how to handle it at all.
Speaker 2: Nope, Yeah, just walks away sleeping immediately.
Speaker 3: It's just like no, not for goots, and he's out
Speaker 3: of here.
Speaker 4: That's it.
Speaker 3: As there's a really great shot of Pippin just looking
Speaker 3: strang surrounded by women as they just down his.
Speaker 1: Giant O give a chest. That man is a tree
Speaker 1: and they want to climb him.
Speaker 4: Absolutely they do, but he also looks as if he
Speaker 4: does not realize he is being molested.
Speaker 2: Them at all.
Speaker 3: He's too high and he's too thick. It's it.
Speaker 4: Barely registering.
Speaker 3: There's also a bunch of nobles in this scene who
Speaker 3: are basically just the just the person equivalents of the noise.
Speaker 2: There's that one guy though, who is like every time
Speaker 2: someone's being something like that fucking griff if he sucks,
Speaker 2: he's the one that comes in he goes, yeah, but
Speaker 2: you gotta hand it to him. He's he's doing all right,
Speaker 2: Like is that one.
Speaker 3: Half the time? He's like half the time he's like
Speaker 3: one of the only one who thinks he's like beautiful,
Speaker 3: like he did all of our fighting for us and.
Speaker 2: Just joined the band of hawk. Finally, well I needed.
Speaker 3: We get a panning shot here, and we see Guts
Speaker 3: sitting in a seat and the seat is too small
Speaker 3: and he's not relaxed into it. He's kind of rigid
Speaker 3: board sitting against it, and it's just a great shot.
Speaker 3: And then Caske is getting pursued by all kinds of
Speaker 3: men and she comes over to him and he's like,
Speaker 3: and she's like, get me the fuck out of here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I gotta go. I love the way she just
Speaker 1: grabs him.
Speaker 2: It's like, come on, yeah, very strong.
Speaker 6: Him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, let's give some credits. Casca looks fantastic in
Speaker 3: her dress.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's uh, we have hopefully we remember to recall
Speaker 4: it at the very last scene too, but yes, it's
Speaker 4: very It's funny how everyone reacts to it. Especially guts
Speaker 4: are just like, ah, hi, Casca.
Speaker 3: You're an attractive lady. Something's happening in my brain right now,
Speaker 3: and why.
Speaker 1: Are you saying it? Like like like Smithers turning on
Speaker 1: his PC. Hello, Smithers me.
Speaker 4: It's well, he's sort of dumb struck, you know, he's
Speaker 4: just he he.
Speaker 3: Gets stumbled even realize it's her first Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: yeah yeah. And then and then she elbows him in
Speaker 3: the chin and it looks extremely painful.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean that's thing because if you get attacked,
Speaker 1: you have to either like go for the eyes, right
Speaker 1: like self defense, go like poking the eyes or heel
Speaker 1: of the hand and then just them in the face. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like underneath like those to break the nose.
Speaker 4: Oh ship, Yeah, yeah, did you know that? John?
Speaker 3: Did I know? Did you know you? I'll try that
Speaker 3: in my next You're a weapon.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean this is I mean it's for self
Speaker 1: defense if you get like attacked on the sty those
Speaker 1: are those that's very different there, quick and cheerful. Well
Speaker 1: that's it. It's yeah, for some reason in my school,
Speaker 1: well not for some reason, it's just the healthcape of
Speaker 1: the world that we live in. When I was a
Speaker 1: teenager at my school, like gave us a self defense
Speaker 1: class like a one off. So yeah, eyes, nose, groin.
Speaker 3: They should, they should teach jus. It's the only it
Speaker 3: is the only way. But that's hard and it takes
Speaker 3: like a year.
Speaker 1: Mmm.
Speaker 2: I feel like a bunch of girls will be like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I do bridish a jujitsu if I have to drop
Speaker 2: fucking I know, econ class or some shit like that.
Speaker 3: You're totally right.
Speaker 1: No, we didn't.
Speaker 2: We didn't.
Speaker 1: We didn't get to drop classes to do that stuff though,
Speaker 1: you know, it was it was like an assembly that we.
Speaker 4: Did, oh you know yeah, mm hmm.
Speaker 3: Anyway, so Kaska drags guts outside and for the first time,
Speaker 3: the entire the entire celebration seems like he's kind of
Speaker 3: having a good time here, seems like, yeah, this kind
Speaker 3: of flummocks. She's sort of like, yeah, he's.
Speaker 2: He's looking directly at the floor of the entire time.
Speaker 2: And then Casko goes.
Speaker 4: I thought he was like no on the phone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's like, okay, Tam, you tell me that this
Speaker 3: man is not chilling. Was a chilling man right there?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess so. Yeah when they first cat out there, Yeah,
Speaker 2: but then he sits down on the wall and it's miserable.
Speaker 1: Again, average nightclub experience.
Speaker 3: He's got, he's got rest as a fellow emotional person,
Speaker 3: you know how it is. We get like, we get
Speaker 3: maybe eight seconds.
Speaker 2: And then then I went to a club one time
Speaker 2: and I lasted one minute. And I walked in there
Speaker 2: and I like, abe since out immediately.
Speaker 4: Yeah sure, oh sure?
Speaker 3: Is that the only time you've been to a club?
Speaker 2: Never been to a club since? Yep?
Speaker 3: Wow, I have for most of it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have been like back to a club for
Speaker 2: like a you know, a work event, like oh we've
Speaker 2: got Duke come in this club coming that actually happened, actually, yeah,
Speaker 2: bother and that I've just never had gone back to it.
Speaker 2: If anyone goes, oh, let's go to a club, I'm like,
Speaker 2: all right, I see, like bye.
Speaker 3: Oh we're not friends anymore. Goodbye. But yeah, so everything
Speaker 3: seems to be going fine, and uh gots is basically
Speaker 3: like I'm just gonna chill out out here, and it
Speaker 3: was like the behind the behind the arms thing and
Speaker 3: just just just just just really relaxing back inside to
Speaker 3: celebrate the festivities. It really does. Man, this is the
Speaker 3: Queen is such a good evil queen.
Speaker 1: Obsessed with her eyebrows, Like those are just flat lines
Speaker 1: that go across her whole brow. And yes, you could
Speaker 1: argue that that's what eyebrow is, let me alone, but
Speaker 1: they're just the size of them. The shaping.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she's got like Queen of Heart's energy too. Yeah
Speaker 4: you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: She's got I mean Queen Elizabeth with the rough and
Speaker 1: the hair.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they've got a very sharp face. She also looks
Speaker 2: like every wife that Henry had.
Speaker 3: Oh yes, the King begins to make a speech in
Speaker 3: front of everyone, and he lets them know that our
Speaker 3: boys in the Band of Hawk are all being elevated
Speaker 3: to nobles.
Speaker 4: Everyone's promoted baby, that's it really great corkiss face for this. Yeah,
Speaker 4: that's that is literally the noise Lucy. Yeah, he's got
Speaker 4: some like goofy ass Adrian Brodie bullshit going on right like.
Speaker 2: Caucus, and his face is like he was like pretending
Speaker 2: to be a mercenary and it's gotten way too far
Speaker 2: and he's realized it. Yeah, that's why his face.
Speaker 4: I'm a noble now.
Speaker 1: It's gonnay.
Speaker 2: It's like.
Speaker 1: One of my favorite jokes is people saying that Michael
Speaker 1: Sierra never meant to be an actor. He was just
Speaker 1: he just walked on set one day it was too
Speaker 1: awkward to leave, and he accidentally has a created pretty
Speaker 1: good I like.
Speaker 2: That amazing shot of it cutting to like the floor
Speaker 2: to ceiling window and on the other side just looking
Speaker 2: through his guts with his hands in his pockets, just
Speaker 2: like but he's kind of like cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah. We then start to toast the celebration, get a
Speaker 3: very cute little shot of Pippin and Ricker like doing
Speaker 3: a little cheers, and everything seems great until Griffith collapses.
Speaker 1: Like how everyone else gets a tray with about five
Speaker 1: glasses on them and he gets a special one. He's
Speaker 1: like hmm.
Speaker 4: Now we do see we do see right before? Right,
Speaker 4: isn't there a cutaway to foss And there does seem
Speaker 4: to be like a gray ball, gray marble enter a cup. Right,
Speaker 4: there's that which implies you can be the poisoning.
Speaker 3: It would be pretty funny, Lucy if like Griffith tries
Speaker 3: to pick one off a tray and the way it
Speaker 3: was like, not that one, princess, the one, the one
Speaker 3: closest to you, the one closest to you, sir, yeah.
Speaker 2: Anyone else, make sure you drink it.
Speaker 3: I actually forgot that's smoking.
Speaker 1: I actually forgot how Griffith got out of this because
Speaker 1: I sort of like vaguely remembered it.
Speaker 4: I was like, it's kind of some JoJo's ship.
Speaker 1: I was like, wait, he didn't he didn't know what.
Speaker 1: He didn't do like a Wesley did. He didn't do
Speaker 1: like a dread Pier Robertson build up a tolerance to
Speaker 1: i kan and powder. And I was like, no, that
Speaker 1: would be dumb. When did he?
Speaker 2: I thought he explained it when he was in Blade
Speaker 2: and he refused to open his eyes, so they painted
Speaker 2: eyes onto his eyelids and he instead.
Speaker 4: We do have to unpack the escape here as it were,
Speaker 4: John as a little.
Speaker 3: Later, But yeah, I actually I feel like there's some
Speaker 3: inconsistencies in Griffith's plan that I don't quite understands for
Speaker 3: as rad as I think parts of it are agreed.
Speaker 3: That's episode seventeen. I think that's a great episode. It's funny,
Speaker 3: like whenever it's been a few weeks from us recording
Speaker 3: Jeff Jeff's like, I a was like, oh, okay, I'm
Speaker 3: going to open up b Zerk again, and then within
Speaker 3: five minutes I'm like, oh, that's right. I love this.
Speaker 3: This is like one of my favorite things ever. And
Speaker 3: I immediately just fell back into this episode. How do
Speaker 3: you guys feel about it?
Speaker 1: Exactly the same. The thing is as well. I always
Speaker 1: kind of like forget which one we're up to, so
Speaker 1: I have to go back into the podcast feed to
Speaker 1: be like, oh, okay, so we're in episode six, which
Speaker 1: means we've done like twelve episodes whatever. So yeah, just
Speaker 1: booting it back up and hearing the music in the oh.
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, they did do sad bastard stuff at the
Speaker 4: end of stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like the so much said bastard stuff in these
Speaker 1: two episodes.
Speaker 4: Sure, Uh yeah, I mean, easily the best cliffhanger.
Speaker 2: But you got a tassie made of the Berserk font
Speaker 2: and it just said sadol.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, pretty good. They easily like the best cliffhanger
Speaker 4: you know, so far. I feel like, oh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, I mean the Kaska scream is so oh yeah,
Speaker 1: that was great.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I really liked when they do like the painted scenes,
Speaker 3: when they'll just take the moments and left background.
Speaker 1: That's good to tell you. When I went to San
Speaker 1: Diego Comic Con, I forget which booth it was, must
Speaker 1: have been like fig Moore or something, because they have
Speaker 1: the new Berserk ones and so they had like a
Speaker 1: whole of like the Guts one and the Casco one,
Speaker 1: Griffith and everything. But on the wall they had like
Speaker 1: replica paintings I think from Mura. I will send you pictures.
Speaker 1: I took pictures of them. They were they're like they
Speaker 1: were kind of like blown up a bit. They were awesome.
Speaker 1: But also and then they had like a big sword
Speaker 1: replica as well, of course, but it was just really
Speaker 1: cool to say, to see so much Berserk on the
Speaker 1: show floor.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 1: We find it.
Speaker 4: I feel like it's always there. But now I would
Speaker 4: like see it quicker.
Speaker 1: Now printed reproduction.
Speaker 3: Over time, it wasn't as big in the West as
Speaker 3: a lot of other stuff, And I think, okay, it
Speaker 3: was in the last like ten years that it really
Speaker 3: started to kind of get its ship. Like the first
Speaker 3: time I did a video about Berserk that was like,
Speaker 3: and that was maybe eight or nine years ago, it
Speaker 3: was still you wouldn't It still had like a reputation
Speaker 3: as being great, but it was a lot more niche
Speaker 3: than it is now. Gotcha.
Speaker 1: I think the video was where I first heard of it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like there you did it. Yeah, oh totally. I
Speaker 3: am responsible for the success of Berserk, like nearly entirely.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's fair.
Speaker 3: Clip that someone like I, I can't wait till that
Speaker 3: hits the right So.
Speaker 4: I mean John says it all the time. John says
Speaker 4: it all the time, so like if it's not here,
Speaker 4: you'll catch it the next time.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, like my first video was explaining
Speaker 3: what berserk is, because it was for the intention of
Speaker 3: being like, I don't think that many people even know
Speaker 3: what berserk is. And now it's one of the biggest
Speaker 3: things ever and now it has like a lot of praise.
Speaker 3: But it's been cool seeing it grow. But I mean
Speaker 3: it was the same with Jojo. When I started talking
Speaker 3: about Jojo, Jojo was like a niche thing still and
Speaker 3: now it's everywhere.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, look, you've done a lot for anime.
Speaker 3: That's okay. Just I was I just caught those waves.
Speaker 3: That's all I'm saying. I was not responsible for nothing.
Speaker 4: However you wish to put that out there, is perfectly fine.
Speaker 3: So good job. As long as people know that I'm important,
Speaker 3: that's all I care about. That I'm in. I've said
Speaker 3: this to you guys privately so many times, but that
Speaker 3: is the most. That is the thing that matters to me.
Speaker 4: Good good to know.
Speaker 3: So I really like how nineties anime does their like
Speaker 3: shit heel Minion, bad guys. And one of the first
Speaker 3: scenes we get here is the poisoner riding away from
Speaker 3: this scene and being yes, I got him. Now I
Speaker 3: will escape with their penalty, and that is when we
Speaker 3: get Guts, and Guts has been fucking taking notes from Corcus.
Speaker 3: He saw the hat in the previous scene and he
Speaker 3: was like, that's please, this is the most unguts piece
Speaker 3: of clothing ever wears.
Speaker 1: That hat, that that hat.
Speaker 5: Is like.
Speaker 1: It's it's I think you should leave hat. Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: still wearing it.
Speaker 4: He's still wearing the stanzos. Yeah.
Speaker 2: There's one freeze frame where they're just passing each other,
Speaker 2: which genuinely looks like a Renaissance painting that I would
Speaker 2: like hang up in my in my home, like I
Speaker 2: put a picture of the head, like perfect.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's funny. I don't Yeah, he like he's like
Speaker 4: fucking Robin Hood. I don't know what the fuck is
Speaker 4: going on. It's looks like, oh yeah, yeah, a little
Speaker 4: bit just weird energy there, you know. I mean, that's
Speaker 4: the strange choice.
Speaker 1: But at the same time he's very unrecognizable, so I
Speaker 1: think it worked.
Speaker 3: He it is that I kind of like to imagine
Speaker 3: Gods is like this is my killing hat, but then
Speaker 3: killing a thing, like he kind of wants it to
Speaker 3: be a thing, but then it just doesn't happen.
Speaker 2: He looks like glasses where even though it's clearly he
Speaker 2: put a hat on it, people were like, where is
Speaker 2: God's gone? But no one knows He's disappeared.
Speaker 1: So that's the thing I haven't I haven't seen the
Speaker 1: New Superman, but I have seen the clip of him
Speaker 1: where he's like talking to Lois Lane and then he's like, oh,
Speaker 1: I just can't get Then he just like sits up
Speaker 1: and he was like alone, it's loon. I'm like, oh god,
Speaker 1: do you know the glass would work on my god?
Speaker 2: Do you know one of the explanations for the glasses
Speaker 2: is hypnosis? Oh?
Speaker 1: I did not.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the glasses have a like hypnotic effect on people,
Speaker 2: so they struggle to perceive and remember clock and it's
Speaker 2: like a magic glass.
Speaker 4: That's fucking stupid.
Speaker 3: Man, Oh my god. And seen the New Superman.
Speaker 4: No, I'd like to see it though.
Speaker 2: I think it was fun, which I really enjoyed it.
Speaker 3: I loved it. It was great yea twice surely. Actually
Speaker 3: great film that kind of made me believe in things
Speaker 3: a little bit. Again.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would like to see it because I've I've
Speaker 4: heard good stuff. I don't love Superman as a character
Speaker 4: in general. I don't give a fuck about Superman. I
Speaker 4: never have, I've I have.
Speaker 3: One of the many times I was canceled online was
Speaker 3: for not liking Superman and this film. Not only do
Speaker 3: I like this Superman, this makes me understand why people
Speaker 3: like all the Superman stuff that never connected.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they made they made Superman do the things that
Speaker 2: Superman became beloved for, and now everyone likes him again.
Speaker 2: I know other people who dislike him are clearly of
Speaker 2: an ill Like Jeff.
Speaker 3: Jeff, he's kind of he's kind of a doof in
Speaker 3: this movie, he's kind of he's kind of dumb.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's fine. Like that's the thing, Like, I don't
Speaker 4: need to like Superman to enjoy this movie. I feel
Speaker 4: like so. I think that's where I'm that's the angle
Speaker 4: on my I'm.
Speaker 3: Telling you, I don't enjoy Superman most of the time. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I still love this movie. Great, that's I'm expecting a
Speaker 3: similar reacity. Oh yeah, quite.
Speaker 2: Nathan Fillion is incredible in it, so good.
Speaker 3: Someone got someone got a photo of me with my
Speaker 3: like hair down after working out once and they said
Speaker 3: I looked like Nathan Fillion, And.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: I just don't I feel zero poll to go see
Speaker 1: this or Fantastic Four or just like I think, I
Speaker 1: think I've just been so burnt by superhero movies in
Speaker 1: general that I just need I need some time away.
Speaker 3: I feel like I hear you. I feel like you
Speaker 3: particularly would really like this movie.
Speaker 1: I probably would. But at the same time, I'm like
Speaker 1: a lot going on. I'll come to one.
Speaker 2: Is Superman Superman version of Guardian basically? And you like God?
Speaker 1: Oh okay, I do like I did like it.
Speaker 2: Do you like the first of God? It is very
Speaker 2: guard Yes, it is dumb as hell.
Speaker 3: It's very silly, very very irreverence, but like very earnest
Speaker 3: as well.
Speaker 2: A lot of good like bad dog jokes, which is fantastic, good,
Speaker 2: good good.
Speaker 4: I yeah, I watch almost zero superhero movies, so I
Speaker 4: feel like when when you pick and choose that way,
Speaker 4: you sort of get pleasant and surprise.
Speaker 3: I feel like this is a superhero movie that ignores
Speaker 3: the last fifteen years.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Actually, nothing's happened.
Speaker 4: I'm into it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it doesn't. It doesn't try to connect anything.
Speaker 2: It's just like I'm gonna make a Superman movie and
Speaker 2: then that's it done.
Speaker 4: Yep, all right, I'm sold. I will see this when
Speaker 4: it comes to some sort of stream. It's got to
Speaker 4: be soon, right, this is like two.
Speaker 2: Weeks of this, Well, I think they'll probably leave it
Speaker 2: there for a bit. That's like four though. I've not
Speaker 2: seen it, but apparently it's just like tanking so hard,
Speaker 2: so I expect.
Speaker 1: That her people the second week drop off was quite intense.
Speaker 1: So Fantastic four theaking gone open to seventeen million, in
Speaker 1: line with projections, and like eleven million. Oh, that's really
Speaker 1: good worldwide, So it's doing.
Speaker 3: I saw a good thing about Superman where someone is like,
Speaker 3: I think you know, it had a budget of like
Speaker 3: two hundred and fifty million, and I think the first
Speaker 3: week was like two hundred and sixty million. That's not someone.
Speaker 3: Someone put out a tweet being like, all that work
Speaker 3: and it barely breaks even someone then and then someone
Speaker 3: quote tweeted it and said, motherfucker forgot about next week.
Speaker 2: I mean, that movie has upset all the correct people,
Speaker 2: and it's.
Speaker 6: Like helping fucking wild my god, not even It's not
Speaker 6: like the only woke shit in the film is hey,
Speaker 6: be nice to people like the like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess you do have likes. You do have
Speaker 3: schmis Reel and Balstine as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but there's a there's a point where like I
Speaker 2: got out and I like read on went on the internet,
Speaker 2: and all the everyone who you'd suspect is like, why
Speaker 2: is this movie attacking us? And the movie never says
Speaker 2: anything about them at all. So it's like one person
Speaker 2: tweeted it and it was like they're going to act
Speaker 2: like if the glove fits, you know, that kind of thing,
Speaker 2: and it's like, oh man, you guys have exposed yourself
Speaker 2: in a really rough way. So funny.
Speaker 3: So I think it's just because a lot of those dudes,
Speaker 3: like they see something like that and it's just dollar signs,
Speaker 3: Like they're not offended. They're just like, oh cool, some content.
Speaker 1: Great.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Speaking of people who would be angry at the new Superman,
Speaker 3: we get the Queen and her order of angry villains here,
Speaker 3: who have successfully plotted the downfall of Griffith.
Speaker 2: I love this, yep.
Speaker 3: Great.
Speaker 1: I mean, I just love I just love how evil
Speaker 1: they all look. They're just it's so good cartoon evil.
Speaker 3: Just I love Fous all the way through. Foust is like,
Speaker 3: oh yeah, guys, I think I think that's yeah, that's
Speaker 3: gonna be okay. That's that's fine.
Speaker 4: He's like, I don't look weird.
Speaker 3: You look weird. What do you mean?
Speaker 4: I'm fine. I'm it's this fucking candle light, that's what
Speaker 4: it is. You know how my complexion gets all wacked
Speaker 4: you under candle light?
Speaker 3: Weird.
Speaker 2: The Queen's eyes are fully closed it closed, cuts down
Speaker 2: her eyes asleep.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's like, anyway, I have to go now,
Speaker 3: right now, and a moment later, goodbye. I'll see you
Speaker 3: all tomorrow because.
Speaker 1: I just mean because I'm busy tomorrow, so I might
Speaker 1: not get a chance to see you guys.
Speaker 2: He was like, what can you hear? Loads of like
Speaker 2: bolts being closed, clicking the place there.
Speaker 4: The lock behind us out it later. What was the
Speaker 4: reason he's like to leave.
Speaker 2: He's like, I've got some stretch.
Speaker 3: He just said he had like matters to attend to.
Speaker 3: He said, I want, I want.
Speaker 4: To It's like I want to make sure everyone's still off.
Speaker 4: He says, I'm going to check on something like that.
Speaker 2: I'm going to check on the state of the uproar,
Speaker 2: is what he said, right right.
Speaker 1: That's me leaving the function is I've got to attend
Speaker 1: to state.
Speaker 3: What's your guys go to line for Like getting out
Speaker 3: of a conversation.
Speaker 1: I'm going to go get another drink.
Speaker 4: Wait in real life around the phone.
Speaker 3: No mine, my life in real life, mine in a.
Speaker 4: But if there's no drinks, locy, what are we doing?
Speaker 1: Water? Just like I'm gonna I'm just gonna get some
Speaker 1: water or I'll be right back. I'm just gonna go
Speaker 1: to the bathroom.
Speaker 4: Do you lie?
Speaker 1: No, because I always need to pay right right more.
Speaker 2: Put on conversations we're in so yeah, but.
Speaker 4: You can't say I'll be right back.
Speaker 1: Just kidding, no, But then you get caught chatting to
Speaker 1: someone else on the way back.
Speaker 4: Thould you just be right back? What happened to the
Speaker 4: piss thing?
Speaker 1: Well, I did got my walk back, I got caught
Speaker 1: up in conversation. It's difficult when you're so popular.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 4: Maybe she sounds like a tangled web of lies.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know, Lucy, this sounds complicated.
Speaker 1: I mean maybe maybe I.
Speaker 3: Go for I go for a good solid like you know,
Speaker 3: like a good hearty eye contact and like a handshake
Speaker 3: and hey, it was great to see you again.
Speaker 2: You have I've seen you do that, and it's very bad.
Speaker 1: I'm actually yeah, because.
Speaker 2: You also do like the very exaggerated handshake motion.
Speaker 3: It's like my way of letting them know I'm leaving.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's disingenuous. It feels disingenuous.
Speaker 1: We can we tell them, should tell.
Speaker 3: Them because I kept oh yeah, because I kept saying
Speaker 3: that to you.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna we're gonna leave our friend's name unnamed.
Speaker 1: But we were walking around with a friend of ours
Speaker 1: who was quite well known, and we realized that we
Speaker 1: couldn't really walk anywhere without them getting stopped. Actually this
Speaker 1: this could be John, I know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it does actually apply to you as well.
Speaker 1: Kind of yeah, And so every time we were trying
Speaker 1: to get somewhere and they kept getting stopped, we had
Speaker 1: to sort of do a thing where it's like, oh guys,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, we've got to go right now.
Speaker 2: We're going to be like we we have to go
Speaker 2: right now, like very.
Speaker 1: Dramatic press the urgency. Yeah, but also it was because
Speaker 1: it took us like an hour to walk twenty meters,
Speaker 1: So you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was Patten, who will do that for me? Like,
Speaker 3: I tell them, listen, if we're walking through a can
Speaker 3: just just just say we've got to go right now,
Speaker 3: so then you can be the bad guy.
Speaker 2: And I asked you when you were after the panel
Speaker 2: and you're like, no, it's fine. And then I looked
Speaker 2: back and the line was insane.
Speaker 1: No, it was very everyone's but we were like do
Speaker 1: we wait for John to get dinner or so?
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: That was that was after a panel, and I did
Speaker 3: really appreciate people showing up for that panel because we had,
Speaker 3: like we had given people like maybe a couple of
Speaker 3: days notice, and so I just I just wanted to,
Speaker 3: you know, say thanks people or whatever. But if I'm
Speaker 3: just walking around, that's different. But as for your friends,
Speaker 3: and I know who you're talking about, because someone was like, yeah,
Speaker 3: Hipatchuwolf's autographed thing, there was like like two and a
Speaker 3: half hours, and then someone else goes, you know, I
Speaker 3: think our friends was actually three hours, and since then
Speaker 3: it was actually fucking beef with your friends.
Speaker 2: Incredible. I'm gonna clip this and send it to our friend.
Speaker 4: Mm hmmm, oh ship, I didn't really know.
Speaker 3: I'm not. Don't don't do that. Don't big dog me
Speaker 3: like that. Okay, don't try in big time.
Speaker 1: The thing is is that I think if if you
Speaker 1: and they combined on it something, I think you'd be unstoppable.
Speaker 2: Do you?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, it would have been nice, would have been
Speaker 3: what what a what a what a beautiful alternate reality
Speaker 3: you're laying out for, Lucy. But they had to go
Speaker 3: and have the larger get together than I did, so
Speaker 3: the fuck them. Sorry, fuck them?
Speaker 4: How I live my life fuck them.
Speaker 2: You know, everyone's on fire.
Speaker 3: Everyone's on fire, the Council of Evils. Yeah, yeah, and
Speaker 3: some smoke starts rising through the floorboards. They get there's
Speaker 3: a really good bit where one of them like cracks
Speaker 3: a hole in the door and the fire just bills
Speaker 3: through it.
Speaker 4: That was insane, was so bunny.
Speaker 1: I think my fit. It's just it's just them. Oh god,
Speaker 1: it's a little bit ahead. But it's when the Queen
Speaker 1: is yelling at Griffith and it's literally the future. I'm
Speaker 1: a joke when they do the Wicked Witch of the East,
Speaker 1: West East, the Wicked Witch from uh West of the West,
Speaker 1: from Wizard of Ours and she's like, who would have
Speaker 1: thought a drop of water would ever fall on me?
Speaker 1: And she's like it's a her exact same kind of
Speaker 1: cadence with how she's yelling.
Speaker 3: There's a reason where she's yeah, like I refuse to
Speaker 3: accept this is happening. He's like, you are my subject
Speaker 3: and I am your queen. And in a burning building.
Speaker 2: And then Griffith crosses his hands, his arms, walks over
Speaker 2: and then Indeeda explains how he's done her while she's
Speaker 2: like burning alive behind Oh god.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she's just yelling down at him. Are you killing me?
Speaker 1: You're killing me?
Speaker 2: He's just quietly going like, yes, I have been killing
Speaker 2: you for many, many weeks now.
Speaker 3: Griffith then walks away from the smoldering pile of dead
Speaker 3: royals and our boyfouse little legg man is just losing
Speaker 3: his ship. He is not able for this at all.
Speaker 3: And this scene really gets me, I think because like
Speaker 3: when Griffith got to court, Faust was like, mmm, I
Speaker 3: ask someone who needs to be removed, And at this
Speaker 3: point he's just he's broken, like Faus is just destroyed.
Speaker 3: And then you find out that Griffith has actually been
Speaker 3: holding Faus's daughter hostage, Yeah.
Speaker 4: Which I kind of like, don't you think that was
Speaker 4: a bit needless?
Speaker 3: No, No, why I did?
Speaker 2: How is he going to manipulate the manipulator?
Speaker 4: I understand. But he also goes in and says, we
Speaker 4: had that moment where we exchanged glances in the hall,
Speaker 4: and he's like, I could feel your fear, and from
Speaker 4: then on I knew I was gonna like poppet your ass.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 1: But then like taking the door to reinforces that fear,
Speaker 1: like because otherwise Fos could have been like, oh it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: And then he correct me if I'm wrong. But I
Speaker 3: think that moment is when I think you have it wrong, Jeff.
Speaker 3: I think that's when decides that Griffith is a problem
Speaker 3: that needs.
Speaker 2: To be removed.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, but.
Speaker 3: Not not that it becomes scared of them. But I think.
Speaker 4: It's bizarre that they like hide, like we didn't know
Speaker 4: about the daughter until now right right?
Speaker 2: No, But but.
Speaker 1: That's get away. It was like Griffith thought of everything.
Speaker 4: Sure, I just wish we knew about the daughter.
Speaker 3: Well, sometimes that would make it very you know, Jeff,
Speaker 3: Sometimes you can't get what you want.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sometimes you don't have to know that, Jeff. Are
Speaker 1: you the type of person who, when you're watching a
Speaker 1: film and a plot point hasn't been fully revealed yet,
Speaker 1: you turn to your beautiful wife and ask, hey, what's
Speaker 1: what's happening?
Speaker 3: What's going on?
Speaker 2: Why can Superman fly?
Speaker 1: Instead of just like waiting for the movie to like
Speaker 1: reveal that plot.
Speaker 4: To you is that, you know, watching watching fiction with
Speaker 4: Stacy's annoying in its own right because she's always just like, well,
Speaker 4: this is what's gonna happen.
Speaker 3: Michelle is exactly like that.
Speaker 4: And she's always right, and it's annoying.
Speaker 3: So sometimes is like sometimes like a twist will happen
Speaker 3: in a movie and I'll be like and I'll kind
Speaker 3: of like look at her, and she'll just be like, yeah, basic,
Speaker 3: like that's what her expression says.
Speaker 1: So the only the only thing that I can do,
Speaker 1: the only show that I can predict with alarming accuracy,
Speaker 1: is the recently canceled HBO special.
Speaker 3: And just like that.
Speaker 2: But I'm just gonna say so bad.
Speaker 1: No, it's just like that and just like that. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: it is the Sex and the City sequel series that they.
Speaker 2: Just canceled, and it is Sex Multiverse.
Speaker 1: It is maybe one of the worst shows I've ever seen,
Speaker 1: But like Carrie Bradshaw, it's Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte.
Speaker 7: Samantha Miranda, No, Samantha No, Well she got she know,
Speaker 7: she got paid a million dollars to shoot a scene
Speaker 7: last season that lasted seventy seconds, and apparently it was
Speaker 7: She was like, I'll do it as long as I
Speaker 7: don't have to interact with Sarah Jessica.
Speaker 3: Parker or.
Speaker 4: The beef is Yeah, there's that's real.
Speaker 1: Also, like this year, this week, when I got canceled,
Speaker 1: she posted like this beautiful nature shot and She's like, wow,
Speaker 1: it's been a long week. I was like, Queen, yes, anyway,
Speaker 1: what's what?
Speaker 4: What is the beef? I don't think I ever understood that.
Speaker 1: The talk about the sex and the city.
Speaker 2: Guy, I'm going to use the bathroom while you guys
Speaker 2: talk about sex and the city.
Speaker 1: Sure, back in the day, they she wanted to push
Speaker 1: for equal pay among the cast, and Sarah Tisica Parker,
Speaker 1: being executive producer, did not want that to happen.
Speaker 5: And then.
Speaker 1: And then the others took Sarah Jessica's side, but Kim
Speaker 1: Cattrall obviously like Samantha carried show. She was that show.
Speaker 1: And then they did the first movie, they did the
Speaker 1: second movie. The second movie is very insensitive, let's put
Speaker 1: it that way. And then there was rumors of a
Speaker 1: third movie. And this is this is rumor. A plot
Speaker 1: point in the third movie would be that Miranda's teenage
Speaker 1: son would send a dick pic to Samantha, and Kim
Speaker 1: Kacha was like, no, I'm not gonna take part in
Speaker 1: that fucking storyline. I don't need to. I have more
Speaker 1: money than I ever need, Like, I don't need to
Speaker 1: do this. So then the narrative became, well, we wanted
Speaker 1: to do the movie, but she didn't want to, so
Speaker 1: like they very much pushed her into a corner and
Speaker 1: then they were doing her that's a shitty yeah, And
Speaker 1: then they were doing and just like that, and just
Speaker 1: like that is I know that Jeff has to go
Speaker 1: very soon, so we could we should finish up a sick.
Speaker 1: There was a plot point in and Just like That
Speaker 1: where in the first season one of the main characters
Speaker 1: says that her dad is dead. In season two, the
Speaker 1: dad comes for dinner. In season three he dies again.
Speaker 1: This show has a thirty this this show has like
Speaker 1: thirty episodes, by the way, so it's not like there
Speaker 1: are hundreds and hundreds of episodes of law on this character,
Speaker 1: because this character is a new one. There was a
Speaker 1: whole plot point.
Speaker 2: About does someone die on like a toilet or something
Speaker 2: like that, or like in a.
Speaker 1: Weird big big big dies on a peloton and it
Speaker 1: actually sank the peloton stocks for a while because everyone
Speaker 1: was like, well, I don't want to use a peloton,
Speaker 1: so I'm going to die. There was a whole plot
Speaker 1: point recently about one a woman named Seema who is
Speaker 1: very much sort of like a little bit of a
Speaker 1: Samantha replacement. She's dating a new guy who only believes
Speaker 1: in natural deodrons, so she rubs basically a crystal under
Speaker 1: her arms and then prandomly last minute gets a meeting
Speaker 1: with a big broker and has to run. And the
Speaker 1: whole plot point is that she stinks at the at
Speaker 1: the lunch and then she goes to the bathroom and
Speaker 1: borrow and has a deodrant in her bag. She puts
Speaker 1: it on and she looks another girl and says, I'm
Speaker 1: not this woman. And that's the end of it. That's
Speaker 1: the end of the plot point.
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 4: I think, uh, I don't think she Stacey was able
Speaker 4: to like make it through. No, because someone who like
Speaker 4: loved it and you know, and whenever it was like
Speaker 4: she was just like this is unwatched.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Sema Seema mm hmmm. So the one
Speaker 2: brown character Patel have a plot point that she's.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no no, there was.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, the thing is that there's the plot point is
Speaker 1: that she is not but she was dating a gardener
Speaker 1: who looks like Tom Hardy. I will say, in terms
Speaker 1: of in terms of representation, they have been much better
Speaker 1: about it. There are more, There are more people of color,
Speaker 1: people of all gender expressions. Oh okay, right, we should
Speaker 1: move on to Berserk, but I will tell you one
Speaker 1: final thing about this fucking show. Stanford Blatch, who was
Speaker 1: one of the best friends. He was in the original
Speaker 1: series of Sex and Sy the actors sadly died. How
Speaker 1: do you think? And just like that, delt with his.
Speaker 3: Death, Uh exploded sensitively.
Speaker 1: Albert he left a letter because he moved to Japan
Speaker 1: to live with monks, and they photoshopped him and in
Speaker 1: a picture of him in some robes and that's it
Speaker 1: and they never talk about him again, bearing in mind
Speaker 1: he was in a long term relationship with one of
Speaker 1: the other characters. Anyway, It's an appalling show and I
Speaker 1: am so sad it got canceled. He's Steve's barely anyway.
Speaker 2: Believe that place has been in some crazy stuff fall out.
Speaker 2: She was in Green Night.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's great, Green Night Rules.
Speaker 1: She is actually like my favorite, she is my favorite
Speaker 1: nice all right.
Speaker 3: Anyway, speaking of favorites, Griffith meets my favorite character in Berserk,
Speaker 3: the man who kidnapped Fauses. I don't bug eye, dude,
Speaker 3: you know I tried I really try. I like how
Speaker 3: so he basically it took these five men to kidnap
Speaker 3: this little girl, and one of them just has the
Speaker 3: face of a skull.
Speaker 2: He looks exactly like Golum. Yeah, exactly. I saw it.
Speaker 2: I was like, that's a Gollumn. Faith, I've seen that before.
Speaker 3: And Griffith gives them their pay and they're like, we
Speaker 3: should extore them if he doesn't hire us again. And
Speaker 3: that's when they meet a behatted guts at their end.
Speaker 3: The word economy.
Speaker 1: I like that a lot.
Speaker 3: And there's like a little exchange between Goods and Griffith here,
Speaker 3: and there's a really weird little bit where what's is
Speaker 3: like anyway time to take the money back? And Griffith's like, no,
Speaker 3: I don't think they care.
Speaker 4: Yeah no, But it's the symbology of the moment, is
Speaker 4: it not symbology?
Speaker 1: Symbology?
Speaker 2: Symbolism is that the.
Speaker 4: Tom what's the Oh no, that's scientology.
Speaker 3: So here's my one kind of problem with the whole
Speaker 3: Griffith plan. Uh you know the way he like basically
Speaker 3: took just enough poison to nearly kill him but not quite. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: but I believe they also mentioned that the doctor was
Speaker 3: in on it. Yeah, why did Griffith need to drink poison?
Speaker 4: Just protect that just yeah, like you can pass out,
Speaker 4: uh believably, you know, Like I don't understand why. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's like that whole thing.
Speaker 1: Again, like a contingency plan, on contingency plan, on.
Speaker 4: Continguous so so so so so so the queen when
Speaker 4: she's like, oh, we had the doctor check you you
Speaker 4: were dead. Uh that doctor was colluding to is what
Speaker 4: we've established, right, I think. So yeah, so there's your answer,
Speaker 4: I guess, but correct. He did not need to ingest
Speaker 4: the poison. He could have just done like one of
Speaker 4: those fake drink spit things if he really wanted to
Speaker 4: do the thing, were you just like close that mouth,
Speaker 4: do a fake swallow and do your best uh you know,
Speaker 4: fainting collapse. But no, he's he's he's a man of
Speaker 4: his word. I guess he's a true actor and he
Speaker 4: was committing to the bit. Yeah he really was. I
Speaker 4: guess you gotta you know, I guess people he was
Speaker 4: worried about people seeing through a fake collapse. I respect that.
Speaker 1: I think.
Speaker 3: They get one of my favorite little scenes, and it's
Speaker 3: Griffith coming back to the bar where the Band of
Speaker 3: the Hawk Are we all think he's dead and everyone
Speaker 3: including Carcus, is in tears at Griffith's return.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's kind of unbelievable that even him, Yeah kinship
Speaker 4: with Caucus didn't want to show it, didn't want to
Speaker 4: show that side, but was forced to in moments of trauma.
Speaker 4: I respect it, Big Sea. It's got a hard after all,
Speaker 4: Big c.
Speaker 3: We see a very brief little scene of the funeral
Speaker 3: of the Queen, and then one snow swept morn, we
Speaker 3: see Guts packing his ship yeah and leaving cascar Season
Speaker 3: leaving and she ain't happy. There's a bit of a
Speaker 3: weird line here where I feel like she's like, I
Speaker 3: know we don't always get along, but it's like I
Speaker 3: feel like, at this point, no, you guys get along,
Speaker 3: Like yeah, yeah, I'm.
Speaker 1: Just like you guys have a lot of sh had experiences.
Speaker 1: Now I think you guys do like each other.
Speaker 4: It does seem silly, Yes, she tries to say, like
Speaker 4: we've been through so much and you're still gonna go.
Speaker 3: He's like, yeah, I told you, But I think.
Speaker 2: He might be a case of like she's not one
Speaker 2: hundred sure, like how good he is at reading the relationship, like,
Speaker 2: that's how I see it, because Guts is a bit
Speaker 2: emotionally dull, right, like he doesn't really get it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: So I think that was her way of being like, hey,
Speaker 2: we survived death together, remember sure that we should be cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, And so she's basically like pleading with Goods
Speaker 3: to stay and he's like, no, I gotta go. God
Speaker 3: damn it, please. That's where leave them.
Speaker 4: At the end of this episode, it does kind of
Speaker 4: suddenly end. I thought, maybe get a little bit more
Speaker 4: of a hint of where next episode.
Speaker 3: Next time on. Griffith very quickly appears in this scene,
Speaker 3: and how is that not the cliffhanger?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, But what do you think of his
Speaker 2: justification for believing?
Speaker 8: Yeah, his like I don't want to be uh in
Speaker 8: the I don't want to be like a shadow, you know,
Speaker 8: sort of pawn in his created world kind.
Speaker 2: Of thing, right, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I don't know, in a way, it
Speaker 4: sort of rubs against the whole idea of like I
Speaker 4: serve this guy. I you know, there is this sort
Speaker 4: of love affair that kind of evaporates where I mean,
Speaker 4: you know, a lot's changed between then and now. But
Speaker 4: I yeah, I'm I guess I'm okay with it. I mean,
Speaker 4: you know, the show's established that it's not afraid of
Speaker 4: doing some sort of like wild twist and turn and
Speaker 4: collision sort of things, so you kind of have to like, uh,
Speaker 4: leave room for that moving forward, Like.
Speaker 2: When Zane left one direction, it was it's exactly like, yeah, exactly,
Speaker 2: you can understand it.
Speaker 4: But yeah, you knew the writing was on the wall.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it just went happy for a long time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know where this goes. I mean, you know,
Speaker 4: I guess in the back of my mind, I do
Speaker 4: have this thing of like something's coming and it feels bad.
Speaker 3: Jeff, let me spoil something for you, please please don't
Speaker 3: something is indeed coming.
Speaker 1: Well, kind of the age of crac more episodes, more Caucus.
Speaker 4: We've got time here. I was looking at how many
Speaker 4: episodes are left. This was what seventeen and eighteen or
Speaker 4: sixteen and seventeen. Yeah, this so we've got we've still
Speaker 4: got a decent way to go, well like yeah, eight
Speaker 4: or so. No, I know, but the key is in
Speaker 4: which we recorded.
Speaker 3: We do have another two years worth of.
Speaker 4: It's I'm excited. This is great. I mean, the show
Speaker 4: is great. These two are are really strong episodes, so
