Speaker 1: Welcome to teen Girl Talk Dean Girl Talk.
Speaker 2: I'm season Kota.
Speaker 1: I'm Freakingkota, and this.
Speaker 2: Week we are talking about Stranger Things season two, episode
Speaker 2: seven through nine.
Speaker 1: Yep. And I was just watching clips from season three
Speaker 1: and I kind of wish we had already gotten there
Speaker 1: because Maya Hawk, yes.
Speaker 2: She, I have watched season three, and she is like
Speaker 2: the highlight of season three. This one. I really enjoyed it.
Speaker 2: But when I like start to think about it, I'm like,
Speaker 2: it's kind of like a rehash of season one. It's
Speaker 2: just a little bit similar.
Speaker 1: It's just it's more of season one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like season one point five.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like you know, it's let's see, I'm trying to think.
Speaker 1: There's definitely horror movies, oh where it's just like in
Speaker 1: the escalation of the Jurassic Park movies where it's just like,
Speaker 1: oh shit, our park's going nuts. Oh no, now the
Speaker 1: park has been nuts for so long. Okay, now it's
Speaker 1: a normal park, but now it's even going more nuts
Speaker 1: because it's chaos. Just he's building on itself, or like how.
Speaker 2: Super Brittain or the continuous what you might call it
Speaker 2: Jurassic Parks, or just like I don't know, they're like real.
Speaker 2: I don't say this lightly because I think this phrase
Speaker 2: is stupid, but like nothing Burger movies, like I've seen
Speaker 2: them all. I saw them in theaters and I was like,
Speaker 2: I hate the humans. I want the dinosaurs to win.
Speaker 2: I would just watch two hours of dinosaurs eating people
Speaker 2: and taking over the earth. And in one of those
Speaker 2: Jurassic Park movies they killed dinosaurs. They had them like
Speaker 2: falling into a fire gulch. I hated that. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: get a letterbox just to say that that part sucked.
Speaker 1: You know what It's like. It's like how they continually
Speaker 1: escalated the villains and the original Spider Man movies, the
Speaker 1: Sam Raimie ones. This one is like just Green Goblin.
Speaker 1: Second one it's like doc oc and also I guess
Speaker 1: Harry Osbourne. Third one is just like we got Green Goblin,
Speaker 1: we got Venom. We got Sandman who justified into crimes
Speaker 1: because he has a daughter that's sick.
Speaker 2: Like I the that last like San Rainy Spider Man
Speaker 2: was such a mess, like such a disaster mess I did.
Speaker 2: It's not that I didn't enjoy it. I did. I
Speaker 2: like that to for grace was Venom that was weird.
Speaker 2: That was a super weird choice. But also those movies
Speaker 2: are just not good.
Speaker 1: Okay, So I don't want to get too far into
Speaker 1: comic nonsense. But like in in the comics, Eddie Brocks
Speaker 1: supposed to be the exact opposite of Peter Parker in
Speaker 1: almost every aspects, in that he is like giant. He's
Speaker 1: like taller than Peter, and he's like muscular, just like.
Speaker 2: Giant arm hard.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like he like he would constantly he kind of
Speaker 1: like cut to him in his apartment, just in his
Speaker 1: boxer's just like lifting dumbbells and whatnot.
Speaker 2: And like was he a loser though, like the Tom
Speaker 2: Hardy Eddie Rook not really.
Speaker 1: He was a hot shot reporter and then he got
Speaker 1: like slung to like the gossip columns. And that's why
Speaker 1: he called himself venom because he had to speak venom
Speaker 1: about like people and he didn't like it.
Speaker 2: But I feel like, I don't know, I only Tom
Speaker 2: Hardy's Eddie Brock is like cannon for me. I don't
Speaker 2: know any other venom. But it kind of seemed like
Speaker 2: he liked being a jerk. Oh yeah, no, he was
Speaker 2: always a jerk, So why didn't he like being a
Speaker 2: gossipy jerk. It kind of seems like right up his alley.
Speaker 1: Because he wanted to be better, Like, he wanted to
Speaker 1: be on important stories, not like the gossip rags.
Speaker 2: Okay, so he was a jerk, but he wanted to
Speaker 2: be an important jerk. I guess that's relatable. I guess
Speaker 2: that mirror's real life.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And before we uh, before we talk about this
Speaker 1: movie a show, let we talk about the show very
Speaker 1: good Bob in it, I want to talk about a
Speaker 1: different very good Bob. His name is Bob Emmett Fletcher,
Speaker 1: and he lived in America during World War Two. And
Speaker 1: he was there, he had several Asian neighbors and they
Speaker 1: were put into one of our great disgraces, into the
Speaker 1: internment camps. And Bob, they were all farmers. Bob ran
Speaker 1: his farm and then their subsequent three farms. Every dime
Speaker 1: that those three farms earned, he paid the mortgage, he
Speaker 1: paid the taxes, and he put aside. So when they
Speaker 1: were finally released, they came right back and everything was
Speaker 1: just as it was when they left it. And he
Speaker 1: received no recognition for this. Oh but well, he did
Speaker 1: get threatened by his community, but eventually he uh. Eventually,
Speaker 1: like in the early two thousands, he was reack nice
Speaker 1: as the hero he was, but he's like, yeah, they
Speaker 1: are my neighbors. I don't care. I wanted to help them.
Speaker 2: Oh that's nice of him.
Speaker 1: So good on that Bob, and good on our Bob,
Speaker 1: who is a true superhero. And I'm so upset I
Speaker 1: had to see him get done so dirty at the
Speaker 1: end of season two.
Speaker 2: Like, okay, I obviously trigger warning for violence and abuse
Speaker 2: and just general spooky situations, but and spoiler alert that
Speaker 2: Bob is going to pass away. In this episode, the
Speaker 2: last couple of shots of him being devoured by demic
Speaker 2: gorgans were so egregious, and it reminded me of when
Speaker 2: mister Muse got eaten by demic gorgan, where I was like,
Speaker 2: I didn't see that. You like, this is one of
Speaker 2: those suations where you can tell and you don't need
Speaker 2: to show. Thank you very much. I don't need to
Speaker 2: see that. I don't want to see. That kind of
Speaker 2: makes me lose respect for the show a little bit. Yeah, Like,
Speaker 2: trust me as a viewer, I will have emotions that
Speaker 2: mister Muse has passed, that Bob has passed. I don't
Speaker 2: need you to show me a graphic scene of them
Speaker 2: being devoured, like, I promise I can get there without that.
Speaker 1: I hate those demo dogs.
Speaker 2: Yes, and also that is a good name, and Dustin
Speaker 2: is right and he should correct people every time they
Speaker 2: don't call them demo dogs.
Speaker 1: What if in season three he's copyrighted the name and
Speaker 1: every time somebody says it, he's just like demansa nickel
Speaker 1: from them.
Speaker 2: I would love to know who's going to keep talking
Speaker 2: about this because, as we learned for this season, they
Speaker 2: can't talk about this stuff. There's a huge cover up. Finally,
Speaker 2: justice for Barb. But the thing is, why is no
Speaker 2: one talking about Bob? Why was there no service for Bob?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Why is why is there not a statue in
Speaker 1: the town square for Bob? Because, like, I don't want
Speaker 1: to deny everybody else's contributions because they were they were many,
Speaker 1: and they were great, but Bob saved most of the
Speaker 1: principal cast.
Speaker 2: Your the other part, all of these faceless soldiers mowed down.
Speaker 2: Are we supposed to assume they're all out of towners?
Speaker 1: I mean I don't think. I don't think Hawkins, Indiana
Speaker 1: has a large standing army. They only have like three cops.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, But then who is copper calling when he's like
Speaker 2: calling in reinforcements and yelling at people?
Speaker 1: I am the police, I think probably the National Guard.
Speaker 2: Sure, but are you telling me in this small town
Speaker 2: with a lot of jobs that none of the people
Speaker 2: in this town have been listed.
Speaker 1: That's a good point that they wouldn't be just.
Speaker 2: Assigned to Hawkins Lab Or did they use that of
Speaker 2: towners so that they're to sort of squashed the gossip mill?
Speaker 1: Hmmm? Interesting? I think they probably used out of towner's probably.
Speaker 2: I mean, like, what kind of skill set do you
Speaker 2: need to guard a hell portal?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: How how would that be marked in your file?
Speaker 1: Hey, my name's my name's Jeff. I Uh, you know
Speaker 1: why I would like to work here? Well, I.
Speaker 2: If you're in the military, you would probably be a
Speaker 2: pirate private or corporal.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I enjoined the military to see the world, and
Speaker 1: they summon Hawkins Indiana. I've seen a lot of this strange,
Speaker 1: upside down world that's full of stuff that we're not
Speaker 1: sure what it's doing to. My body probably doing something,
Speaker 1: But I'm here and I'm ready to fight, to just
Speaker 1: flame throw our things in this weird shadow dimension. I
Speaker 1: think several yugioh characters have been sent here. I'm I'm afraid.
Speaker 2: Anyway, It's like, that's the thing. Can they not write
Speaker 2: their moms or is it like a private Ryan thing
Speaker 2: where they choose people who don't have like siblings or family.
Speaker 1: Probably more, probably more of the latter. Though, here's the
Speaker 1: thing I would like, Okay, this is probably a pretty
Speaker 1: big hunting community. Would you say, you know, a bunch
Speaker 1: of woods rural America. Here's what I'd be like. I'd
Speaker 1: be like, okay, go forth and tell everyone this is
Speaker 1: strange new animal Europe and go hunting.
Speaker 2: I okay, Frank, I don't think you understand. Like squashing
Speaker 2: the rumors, slash the scuttle butt as they call it
Speaker 2: in the military. Telling people there's a strange new animal
Speaker 2: they should go gun down is not going to like
Speaker 2: calm the masses. Remember this is in the midst of
Speaker 2: like the devil worship panic of the eighties.
Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing, Like, well, I just also think
Speaker 1: that to be a very good movie. If like a
Speaker 1: town puts out a like, hey come one, come all hunters,
Speaker 1: just come just shoot things on this plot of lands,
Speaker 1: Like that's how we'll get rid of these aliens.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's similar to the plot of Pottersville. It's a
Speaker 2: movie with Michael Shannon where his wife is Christina Hendricks
Speaker 2: and she steps out on him with Ron, the Ron
Speaker 2: that has the big face, Ron Pearlman, the original Hellboy
Speaker 2: reprised by David Harbor in a movie that I walked
Speaker 2: out of in like ten minutes. It was the sound
Speaker 2: was mixed so poorly and you could like see the
Speaker 2: scene at the back of his costume. It was a
Speaker 2: bad movie. I feel so bad for David Harbor because
Speaker 2: that was supposed to be like his thing. Do you
Speaker 2: want to call David Harbor by like three or four
Speaker 2: incorrect names before I continue?
Speaker 1: Or David Harbringer. That's all I got, Okay.
Speaker 2: So he walks in on Christina Hendricks and Ron Pearlman
Speaker 2: cuddling in fur suits, and she's like, I'm sorry, this
Speaker 2: is me now I'm leaving you. And he spirals out
Speaker 2: and gets drunk and runs around the town in a
Speaker 2: bigfoot suit one night and then everyone thinks that Bigfoot
Speaker 2: is in town and this brings like national acclaim to Pottersville.
Speaker 2: So are you saying, like, do it that way where
Speaker 2: they become like a tourist destination. But the thing is,
Speaker 2: you can't really do that because it's not Michael Shannon
Speaker 2: in a gorilla suit. It's an actual hellmouth.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I'm saying, just turned into a mecca
Speaker 1: of just like like hunting. Just see how many you
Speaker 1: can back.
Speaker 2: But Frank, these are not like skilled dema gorgon hunters.
Speaker 2: They're just gonna get killed. That'll bring more attention to
Speaker 2: the town. Holriser is not gonna like that. Uh, just
Speaker 2: claim the fixer. He's not good at it, but he's there.
Speaker 1: Look, some of them may die, but the ones that's
Speaker 1: that survive will become skilled.
Speaker 2: Okay, so.
Speaker 1: Trial by fires is a trial by fire.
Speaker 2: We're inviting amateur hunters into this town to hunt dema gorgans.
Speaker 2: How are they even gonna find the demo organs? I
Speaker 2: feel like the demic organs are a little bit hard
Speaker 2: to tack down.
Speaker 1: Okay, So that reminds me of one of my favorite
Speaker 1: lines from Portal two, which has the wonderful J. K.
Speaker 1: Simmons in it. Huh, You're going through this abandoned lab
Speaker 1: and he's just doing like recorded announcements. He's like for
Speaker 1: those those who signed out to be injected with praying
Speaker 1: mantis DNA. We have good news and we have some
Speaker 1: bad news. The bad news is we're delaying that a test,
Speaker 1: and definitely the good news is we have a new
Speaker 1: test fighting a race of mantis men. Just grab just
Speaker 1: grab a rifle and follow the out line. You'll know
Speaker 1: when the test begins.
Speaker 2: I mean, Frank, wouldn't you be seduced by a mantis man?
Speaker 1: Oh? Of course?
Speaker 2: I mean, just imagine having a mantis blade lightly graise
Speaker 2: your cheek romance and they could think we are praying
Speaker 2: mantises like grasshoppers. Do they make noise songs with their legs?
Speaker 1: I don't think so.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure that they could play a violin though.
Speaker 1: Oh probably, I would say almost definitely. Why do I
Speaker 1: find praying mantis is so cool but spider's so gross?
Speaker 1: That's a personal failing on my part.
Speaker 2: I mean spiders are pretty cool too. Yeah, they're so creative.
Speaker 1: I found out there's apparently levels of difficulty for different tarantulis.
Speaker 2: What do you mean difficulty?
Speaker 1: So like there's beginner difficulty where it's just like you
Speaker 1: open up the cage, that thing's just like, eh, whatever,
Speaker 1: it's gonna hang out. It's cool. And then like expert
Speaker 1: difficulty is you open the cage and they're.
Speaker 2: Gone, Oh no, they're too fast for you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, or they have a larger large amount of venom
Speaker 1: in there, like in their cheeks.
Speaker 2: Do they get you?
Speaker 1: They can that you some of them do.
Speaker 2: Have you ever been spin at?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: I don't go near my house. My housemate has has spiders.
Speaker 1: I don't go near of them unless unless my housemate's
Speaker 1: on vacation. Then I have to spray stuff so that
Speaker 1: the spider, say, is hydrated.
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you see the spider.
Speaker 1: No, they don't have to eat that much.
Speaker 2: Okay, so you're just hydrating them. Yeah, like they're at
Speaker 2: a festival where you're just sort of like, yeah, sprinting water.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm literally the misting tent.
Speaker 2: Oh that's cool. I'm sure that they appreciate you more
Speaker 2: and it would be less likely to spit venom at you.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Anyway, speaking of things that could be cute if
Speaker 1: we were in a different time, we'll actually go get
Speaker 1: into the plot of these three episodes, and if I
Speaker 1: had our first episode we're going to talk about has
Speaker 1: nothing to do with demic organs. Almost none of them
Speaker 1: may cast appears that it's basically a bottle episode Eleven heads.
Speaker 1: Eleven's aunt shows her a bunch of files that her
Speaker 1: mother had compiled about different kids with similar abilities, and
Speaker 1: she fixates on one of a young black girl and
Speaker 1: she has memories of her in like the in the
Speaker 1: bad Place basically. And she wakes up and her aunt
Speaker 1: is on the phone and she mentions Hopper. She mentions
Speaker 1: Joyce that they had come by, and she's talking to
Speaker 1: somebody and Eleven takes us as she's calling, you know,
Speaker 1: Hawkins Labs. So she steals a bunch of money, hops
Speaker 1: a bus and heads to Chicago, Illinois.
Speaker 2: We get a big city sort of montage.
Speaker 1: She eventually finds our Mary Banditiez from the very first
Speaker 1: scene of the season, Kelly, Dottie, Mick and fun Shine.
Speaker 1: I thank god, all it okay. I I feel like
Speaker 1: fun fun Shine should have been called fun Size.
Speaker 2: I mean that's a much funnier nickname.
Speaker 1: So they are at first like, who's the guy with
Speaker 1: the mohawk. That's not that's not Mick. I know that's
Speaker 1: not his name. But there are a bunch of punks
Speaker 1: and they're like, what are you doing in here are
Speaker 1: you wearing overalls? Like, who's that guy from Who's the
Speaker 1: cool guy from Beverly Hills nine O two one O.
Speaker 2: The cool Guy?
Speaker 1: He was played by Luke Perry. Oh, Dylan, Dylan, Okay,
Speaker 1: we watched the original night in the overall he had
Speaker 1: a leather jacket over overalls and he was the cool guy.
Speaker 1: I'm like, what what what?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 1: Just jeans? Jeans makes that cool, not leather jacket over overalls.
Speaker 1: So they're making fun of her over her overalls. They're
Speaker 1: calling her Shirley as in Shirley Temple and the Mohawks.
Speaker 1: Dude like pulls a knife. He's like, you better get
Speaker 1: out of here, and she suddenly, you know, Telkannese is
Speaker 1: the knife into her hand and then spiders start appearing
Speaker 1: on him and guess what. Calli's just like, oh, you're
Speaker 1: kind of like me. We both have tattoos. Frank once again,
Speaker 1: thanks boil boy. I wish everybody who was responsible for
Speaker 1: this at Hawkins Lab dog oh good. And they start talking,
Speaker 1: they start remembering things. Calli explains her powers that she
Speaker 1: can make people see things that she wants them to see,
Speaker 1: and they decide to use. They decide to use Eleven
Speaker 1: to find ah Papa or that to basically get rid
Speaker 1: of people on Callie's kill list. And the first one
Speaker 1: is this kind of orderly dude who is the one
Speaker 1: who did the electroshock therapy to Eleven's mom.
Speaker 2: I think he's a doctor.
Speaker 1: Okay. They find him at hit Well. First, they get first,
Speaker 1: they give first. They give Eleven a makeover. What did
Speaker 1: you think of her new look?
Speaker 2: I mean it was very sort of eighties. I thought
Speaker 2: it was a good look. She I liked her bandana bracelet,
Speaker 2: and I mean she would fit right into like a
Speaker 2: dance club where they mostly played the Cure.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh. They also Kelly also teaches Eleven to like
Speaker 1: harness her anger into her power. Like Eleven's now able
Speaker 1: to move like something big, like a bust towards her,
Speaker 1: just like just getting so angry. They give her a
Speaker 1: like baby doll mask, and they stop at a convenience
Speaker 1: store where Kelly makes a guy think the toilet's overflowing.
Speaker 1: They start stealing everything when Dottie starts stealing sunglasses and
Speaker 1: for the moment, I am reminisced of law from Logan Oh.
Speaker 2: My gosh, yes, where they're like, hey, you can't see that,
Speaker 2: and she's like, I will claw you.
Speaker 1: In the words of Logan, you gotta stop stealing shit.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's a good dad figure there, right, being like, hey,
Speaker 2: theft is bad. It brings the police.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so they take off. They get to the house,
Speaker 1: Kelly and Eleven like basically start terrorizing this man, and
Speaker 1: Eleven starts killing him but then realizes that he has
Speaker 1: two little girls and.
Speaker 2: Stops, and Kelly says, like, show no mercy. He showed
Speaker 2: no mercy. To a certain degree, she is managing Eleven
Speaker 2: through manipulation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And this this sequence honestly reminds me of season
Speaker 1: three of Avatar the Last Airbender, Okay, where the mother
Speaker 1: figure of the group, Katara, is like, I want to
Speaker 1: go hunt down the man who killed my mom, and Aang,
Speaker 1: being the gentle soul he is, is like, revenge isn't
Speaker 1: going to help you. I don't think that's what you
Speaker 1: should do, And in the end, because it's a kids show,
Speaker 1: she doesn't take revenge. But yeah, but it does lead
Speaker 1: to a larger discussion because Zuko goes on the trip
Speaker 1: with her to get revenge, and so he goes like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's really good, really good that doesn't matter, like never mind. Well,
Speaker 1: it's just like I could keep telling him about Avatar
Speaker 1: till the till the end of time. It's so good.
Speaker 1: But but no, we're here talking about stranger things. So,
Speaker 1: you know, they leave the cops hot on their tail.
Speaker 1: Kelly starts making Eleven. Oh the doctor says, Bremmer is
Speaker 1: still alive, and Eleven is like, that's not possible.
Speaker 2: Papa is dead.
Speaker 1: Papa is gone, and Kelly starts making her see Bremer
Speaker 1: and like Eleven is very angry about all this, the
Speaker 1: cops start storming the place. They are, having protracted shootout
Speaker 1: with the cops as they race to their van.
Speaker 2: The cops must be a terrible shot, like an absolutely
Speaker 2: terrible shot. They are shooting at them non stop.
Speaker 1: It's very much storm triple levels of terrible aim. And well,
Speaker 1: here's the thing. I think the plot armor was around
Speaker 1: these kids because like we, you know, we thought they
Speaker 1: were going to be used again. Turns out the fans
Speaker 1: did not care about this group at all. That's why
Speaker 1: I did not appear later in the series.
Speaker 2: Oh really, you look that up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just one of them. Callie was supposed to appear
Speaker 1: in season four, but because she was so unpopular, and
Speaker 1: like the whole episode this is completely one of the worst,
Speaker 1: the worst episode of season two wow, because it does
Speaker 1: just like it does just kind of feel like we're
Speaker 1: just taking all the momentum out of the last episode
Speaker 1: where it's just like, oh, the demon the Demon Dogs
Speaker 1: are coming, and it's just like, all right, let's go
Speaker 1: hang in Chicago a little while.
Speaker 2: Well, I think it also, if I had to guess,
Speaker 2: I would say I think that the writers struggle a
Speaker 2: little bit with what to do with eleven, because you know,
Speaker 2: they can't keep her in the capen for the entire season.
Speaker 2: She does need to take sort of a hero's journey
Speaker 2: for discovery. She discovers this terrible thing that had happened
Speaker 2: to her mother and sort of was the catalyst of
Speaker 2: her mother's undoing. And like, honestly, I thought it was
Speaker 2: going to be that her aunt was evil because the
Speaker 2: aunt was kind of so disengaged the entire time, But
Speaker 2: then that wasn't anything.
Speaker 1: And so.
Speaker 2: This does seem like sort of a diversion that doesn't
Speaker 2: really pan out. But I was excited, Like when we
Speaker 2: first see Callie use her powers in the first episode
Speaker 2: of the season, I was I was excited. I was like,
Speaker 2: oh cool, what is this? And then it's sort of
Speaker 2: I guess they just didn't really stick the landing, you.
Speaker 1: Know, I think, Yeah, I think. I think it goes
Speaker 1: to a larger portion of what I'm gonna call the
Speaker 1: X Men problem.
Speaker 2: Okay, you can have a.
Speaker 1: Large group of teens with various powers, that's fine, but
Speaker 1: you can't have them be side characters. Like if you
Speaker 1: have Calli and Eleven both of their superpowers, and then
Speaker 1: like there's more people with superpowers, then she just becomes
Speaker 1: the X Men and you're just like, well, why are
Speaker 1: we using the X Men? They're right there, like one
Speaker 1: of the Eleven has telkaness. Callie can make people see
Speaker 1: whatever she wants them to say, just like use that.
Speaker 2: They're an unstoppable duo. And I think the way that
Speaker 2: they solve that problem of there and this is similar
Speaker 2: to Charles and I can't remember Magneto's real name, Eric,
Speaker 2: What is it Eric? Eric? Yes, Bill thought it was Magnets.
Speaker 2: I guess like Magnets. Charles calls him Magnus. Okay, I
Speaker 2: know this conversation is not interesting if you can't hear
Speaker 2: the second half. It is dill, but so Charles and Eric.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Eric is like a weird name for Magneto.
Speaker 2: I would expect it to be something like Magnus or
Speaker 2: like Excelsior or something. But I guess he was just
Speaker 2: like a regular ass guy before he became Magneto, right, well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well he was a survivor and then he's
Speaker 1: just like, yeah, I'm killing everything. Eric Eric Lenschner. Okay,
Speaker 1: so Dil's correct. He is also called uh Okay, his
Speaker 1: birth name is Max Eisenheart, and then he also his
Speaker 1: alis is Eric Leshner and he also goes by Magnus.
Speaker 2: Okay, that makes sense, And so it was more that
Speaker 2: I was just thinking, like, Eric is not an old
Speaker 2: timey name, and for Magneto to be on the timeline
Speaker 2: he's on, it seems like it would be very unlikely
Speaker 2: that he would be named Erek. But it makes sense
Speaker 2: that it's analias. So, you know, the reason that they
Speaker 2: don't get along is that they have a fundamental disagreement
Speaker 2: of how basically what is like morally acceptable for their approach.
Speaker 2: And that's why, even though they both have respect for
Speaker 2: one another, they can't they can't work side by side
Speaker 2: because they want very different outcomes with very different methods,
Speaker 2: and so I feel like Calli and Eleven kind of
Speaker 2: want the same outcome, but Eleven's not comfortable with the methods.
Speaker 2: You know what.
Speaker 1: Earlier this week Sassey and Night we were talking about
Speaker 1: drive Me Crazy, honestly designated Dave and guy from Entourage's
Speaker 1: conversation kind of fits here where I feel like Kelly
Speaker 1: would be like, you want them to like you, Eleven,
Speaker 1: tell them go fuck themselves?
Speaker 2: Yes, guy from Andorraage Adrienne Grainier, star of Entourage, so
Speaker 2: that I don't think anyone talks about it anymore. So
Speaker 2: like I wouldn't be too worried about it.
Speaker 1: But that's the thing, Like I haven't seen Adrian Greneer
Speaker 1: in anything. That's why I can't remember his name. He
Speaker 1: was such a good actor.
Speaker 2: I do want to want to documentary where he seeked
Speaker 2: out his birth parents because he was adopted.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to watch that. It sounds really interesting.
Speaker 1: But Eleven gets a vision that Hopper and Mike are
Speaker 1: in trouble and she heads home and once again another
Speaker 1: person on the bus wants to talk to her. I'm
Speaker 1: just like, this is Here's the thing I love about it.
Speaker 2: I definitely was like, is that lady gonna be a
Speaker 2: secret agent? Because everybody's secret agent in the show.
Speaker 1: I'm so used to the table writing of like, Nope,
Speaker 1: you can't trust anyone. Everyone's a secret agent, excluding this
Speaker 1: older woman who just seems to be trying to go home.
Speaker 2: But really the older lady was just there as a
Speaker 2: plot device, so Elevin could be like, I'm going home
Speaker 2: to my friends so that we see that her heroes are.
Speaker 2: This circle has closed. She has come around to believing
Speaker 2: that Hawkins is her home and these are her friends again,
Speaker 2: and that maybe Mike is not totally in love with
Speaker 2: Max or whatever got her jealous previously.
Speaker 1: That was it. So the next episode, episode eight, is
Speaker 1: just time to get out of Hawkins Lab. The demo
Speaker 1: Demo dogs are running everywhere hoppers like okay, like the
Speaker 1: power goes out. Jonathan and Nancy see this happening from afar.
Speaker 1: The most of the Nerd kids minus MIAs, Mike, and
Speaker 1: Will are walking back. Dustin and Lucas have an argument
Speaker 1: about Max with vine earshot of her. Probably he's not
Speaker 1: making her feel all that great.
Speaker 2: I mean, this season, it feels like Max is poochy
Speaker 2: because at the same time that Dustin and Lucas are
Speaker 2: having an argument about Max. While she's there, Billy and
Speaker 2: his dad are having an argument about Max. And it
Speaker 2: feels like when Omer was like, when Poochi's not in
Speaker 2: the room, people should be asking where is Poochie?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Max is a much better character than Poochie.
Speaker 2: Wow, blasphemy.
Speaker 1: Okay, fine, Max is an equal character to Poocie.
Speaker 2: Posci had to go back to his own planet.
Speaker 1: Frank still one of the greatest Simpson jokes of all time.
Speaker 2: Really, like give an oscar to whoever came up with
Speaker 2: that joke because it's so good.
Speaker 1: But we all, I don't want to talk too much
Speaker 1: about the terrible scene with Billy and his parents and
Speaker 1: his father it's just it's abusive and it's awful and
Speaker 1: hard to watch. And but it does explain why Billy
Speaker 1: is the way he is. It doesn't excuse it. It
Speaker 1: just explains how why he is the way he is.
Speaker 2: I mean, he's mirroring he's mirroring his father's terrible bullying behavior.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I haven't watched season three, so I don't
Speaker 1: know if this pays off. But he goes to the
Speaker 1: Wheeler house looking for Max.
Speaker 2: Oh boy, yeah, it gets weird. Everyone's just like throwing
Speaker 2: it at Billy. I'm not even joking. It's just like
Speaker 2: because the town lifeguard.
Speaker 1: So here's the thing. I get it, But like, spend
Speaker 1: more than ten minutes with Billy and you're just like, oh,
Speaker 1: I mean tryank.
Speaker 2: Think about the Ted. Poor Ted. Ted was just taking
Speaker 2: a nap and then all of a sudden he's being
Speaker 2: potentially cuckolded.
Speaker 1: Susie, I do not give a shit about Ted.
Speaker 2: Wow, Wow, poor Ted. A man can't just nap in
Speaker 2: his recliner and not know where his kids are. Already eighty,
Speaker 2: that's his job. He's just there to neglect and be
Speaker 2: sort of toothless, Susy.
Speaker 1: Ted's already cheating on Missus Wheeler. You know who's cheating
Speaker 1: on her with the American government. He loves the American government.
Speaker 2: Oh, he really does. How did Missus Wheeler had so
Speaker 2: many candles going at the same time. It would be
Speaker 2: impossible to get into a bubble bath that perfect with
Speaker 2: that many candles lit without burning the house.
Speaker 1: She really prepared for this bath. She's like, oh boy,
Speaker 1: my children are all fighting in other world. Like to mention,
Speaker 1: I only get to do this every once in a while. Well,
Speaker 1: I get to set up every candle I own in
Speaker 1: this house.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but then Ted's just sitting in the dark. No
Speaker 2: one lit a candle for Ted, Yeah, because cuss.
Speaker 1: Ted doesn't deserve one, because he loves the government. Where's
Speaker 1: their other child?
Speaker 2: That's true? Ted, Like nobody has asked about Nancy and
Speaker 2: like a dog's here, Susy the other child?
Speaker 1: There's three Wheeler children?
Speaker 2: What? Oh? Yeah, there's like a younger son, right, the
Speaker 2: younger sister.
Speaker 1: Where's she?
Speaker 2: She's gone? That's so weird. I feel like, Okay, who
Speaker 2: knows to the show? I did not remember this character
Speaker 2: at all. I remember like a small blonde child maybe,
Speaker 2: but they were like, why are we paying this child actor?
Speaker 2: We already have so many child actors on payroll. Does
Speaker 2: anyone remember that there's a third wheeler?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: Right round? This is a running joke on mad Men too.
Speaker 2: I mean, like with the viewers of mad Men, is
Speaker 2: that there were six different bobbies, a varying like sort
Speaker 2: of success at acting, and there was only ever one.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I can't remember her name, Sally Draper. Oh,
Speaker 2: it's been so long since I've done a rewatch but
Speaker 2: like I think one season they just switched Bobby's midway
Speaker 2: and like if you put the pictures side by side,
Speaker 2: you notice. But Bobby's such like a nothing character until
Speaker 2: like season six that it's like eugh. And by then
Speaker 2: they're using the same Bobby because he's aged up into
Speaker 2: like an age where he can actually acts.
Speaker 1: What I would have loved to see is a scene
Speaker 1: of John hamp switching out the two Bobby's Indiana Jones style.
Speaker 2: Well, there's a joke when season six Bobby is at
Speaker 2: camp where he waves and says like hi Bob too,
Speaker 2: and Betty asked, well, what happened to Bobby one and
Speaker 2: because he's like Bobby five or something, and he said, oh,
Speaker 2: Bobby one left, and so like viewers were like, ha ha,
Speaker 2: the writers are making a joke about how many Bobby's
Speaker 2: there have been, which may or may not be true.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Yeah, they should make a joke about
Speaker 2: this missing Wheeler child, yeah, and be like maybe she'd
Speaker 2: fall into the hell mat who knows. No one noticed.
Speaker 2: Ted was busy sleeping and Nancy was not Nancy what's
Speaker 2: his wife's name? Was busy cuckolding?
Speaker 1: Not yet, she just.
Speaker 2: She's concepts of a plan to cuckold.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so.
Speaker 2: Bill, but like the vibes, Oh my god, the amount
Speaker 2: of eye contact. This happens in like episode nine and
Speaker 2: the like. It's not even that big of a deal,
Speaker 2: but we spend more time on it than any of
Speaker 2: the other platforms.
Speaker 1: Because it's so weird, Like this strange boy comes comes
Speaker 1: to her door, and it's just like, Hey, I'm looking
Speaker 1: for looking for my sister. But what's happening with you, honey?
Speaker 1: What's going on? Like, yeah, it's so this.
Speaker 2: Is Ted posting on Reddit on the internet that doesn't
Speaker 2: exist yet? Am I overreacting? I woke up and my
Speaker 2: wife was talking to Billy. I can't remember the character's
Speaker 2: last name. Who Hargrove, Who's a horrible person? And everyone
Speaker 2: be like, I don't know, man, Have you checked your phone?
Speaker 1: You mean the rotary phone? We haven't the den.
Speaker 2: Have you checked the phone? Bill? I don't know. She's
Speaker 2: on the phone a lot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's so many numbers.
Speaker 2: I okay, just quick side note. I feel so bad
Speaker 2: when it's someone being like, am I overreacting? My spouse
Speaker 2: of however many years and we have however many kids,
Speaker 2: is on a dating app and everyone's like, no, you're
Speaker 2: not reacting this insane.
Speaker 3: Why are you even asking us If this is not
Speaker 3: a mutual agreement between the two of you to open
Speaker 3: the marriage, then no, you're not reacting. Why are you
Speaker 3: posting on the internet. You should be filing for divorce.
Speaker 2: And they're like, but he said it wasn't him. Someone's
Speaker 2: using his pictures And everyone's like, is your husband that hot?
Speaker 2: The answer is indubitably no. So I mean, what a
Speaker 2: good joke that would be. Though to be like, I'm
Speaker 2: it would be terrible, right, like no one should perform
Speaker 2: identity theft, but like to be like, I'm going to
Speaker 2: pick the most average man in catfish as him.
Speaker 1: I'm here. I'm not here for top level, I'm here
Speaker 1: for mid level.
Speaker 2: But I mean, it would actually be a more effective
Speaker 2: calfish I think, because if you told someone, oh, I
Speaker 2: can't get this guy to meet up. We've just been
Speaker 2: chatting a long time. I'm not sure if I'm getting catfished,
Speaker 2: And then you show your friends a picture of like
Speaker 2: literally the most realistically average man you've ever seen in
Speaker 2: your life, they'd be like, why why would this person
Speaker 2: be calfish? You can.
Speaker 1: You've tried the best. Now try the okayist, try the
Speaker 1: rest anyway, So we cut back to Hawkins Lab. Will
Speaker 1: is like Mike makes a good point that Will is
Speaker 1: probably telling the Demon Dogs where they are. Joyce like
Speaker 1: asks him who he is. Will hesitates to.
Speaker 2: Say, and who am I? And he like waits a
Speaker 2: beat too long?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Joyce's like, give me the syringe.
Speaker 2: She's like, shut it down. He's been hijacked. Yeah, So
Speaker 2: what is that bug that hijacks like yep, like hornets
Speaker 2: and stuff by like clicking into their brains or like
Speaker 2: cocker ranches that and then they steer them.
Speaker 1: Uh over other bugs. See. I'm so nervous to hit
Speaker 1: search because I know I'm going to see a lot
Speaker 1: of gross bugs. They're called hairworms.
Speaker 2: Oh god, that's a bad name. I don't like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm out, I'm out. I do have to see them.
Speaker 1: I don't want to see them.
Speaker 2: Basically, this is what's happening to Will. He's being hair
Speaker 2: wormed by the Shadow Monster.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so they've knocked him out, so the Shadow
Speaker 1: Monster can't tell them what's going on, or can't send
Speaker 1: the demo dogs.
Speaker 2: A monster can't tell them what's going on. So, guys,
Speaker 2: here's the t I'm gonna send some demo dogs to
Speaker 2: kill you. I'm so naughty. They're like, could you not
Speaker 2: murder us?
Speaker 1: No? Did you late?
Speaker 2: They're on their way.
Speaker 1: So they guns have very guns only work on these things.
Speaker 1: When the plot says they work on these things. Sometimes
Speaker 1: Hopper is able to gun them down in two or
Speaker 1: three shots. Other times it takes a bunch and nothing happens.
Speaker 2: It's there like a video game name for that, like
Speaker 2: when you shooted a thing but it like doesn't hit
Speaker 2: even though it should.
Speaker 1: The technical term is plot armor. I think that. I'm
Speaker 1: sure there's a TV trope like thing about it. TV
Speaker 1: Tropes is a if you ever want to just waste
Speaker 1: away in like several hours, just go on TV tropes
Speaker 1: and just keep clicking. You'll you'll get plenty of entertainment.
Speaker 1: And so Hopper says, I'll go down to to turn
Speaker 1: like to flip the breaker and turn the lights back on.
Speaker 1: And Bob's like, yeah, but you still have to open
Speaker 1: up the doors, you know. He's like, okay, and for
Speaker 1: that you need to know basic and hop was like, okay,
Speaker 1: teach me it, and Bob's like, I might as well
Speaker 1: teach you French. He's like, I'm gonna go, and everyone's like, no, Bob,
Speaker 1: you're Sean Aston. You're not made for action. You're not
Speaker 1: a hobbit.
Speaker 2: Yet he is because he's rudy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the number one.
Speaker 2: Guy cry movie. So Bob makes it Donte of Dreams,
Speaker 2: which is more of a guy crime movie.
Speaker 1: I've seen neither of those movies.
Speaker 2: God, Frank, how are we supposed to know? You need
Speaker 2: to weigh in on guy cries.
Speaker 1: You know, when I watch women cry movies, I've seen
Speaker 1: Fried Green Tomatoes and men don't leave. Like we've been
Speaker 1: over us many times, it is true.
Speaker 2: You talk about real men don't leave. Or is it
Speaker 2: real men or just men don't leave? Men don't leave
Speaker 2: like an inordinate amount. Yeah, but have you watched Beaches
Speaker 2: the Ultimate woman cry movie?
Speaker 1: Not yet.
Speaker 2: I will watch the guy cries. Haven't watched the woman Cries.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've watched plenty of cry movies. I saw
Speaker 1: The Wild Robot openly wept during that movie. From about
Speaker 1: the last third of it.
Speaker 2: I feel like, we live in a time is going
Speaker 2: to destroy me.
Speaker 1: Well, you can just focus on that horrifying carousel horse.
Speaker 2: I love that Prousel Horse. Apparently their merchants focused on
Speaker 2: that too.
Speaker 1: In course of this, so Bob turned, Bob opens up
Speaker 1: the doors and then.
Speaker 2: Just the tiniest more diversience. Is Lord of the Rings
Speaker 2: considered a guy crime movie? Yes, I consider it a
Speaker 2: guy crime movie. I consider it in all genders and
Speaker 2: even a non binary crime movie.
Speaker 1: Especially if you watch the If you know about like
Speaker 1: what when Gimley's talking about Galatriel giving him three hairs
Speaker 1: from her head, if you know the lore behind that,
Speaker 1: it's heartbreaking. No not Gimbley, no no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: it's it's good. It's good. It's heartbreaking a good way.
Speaker 1: So yeah, Okay, I'm just gonna real quick because I
Speaker 1: love this so much. So when they're sailing away from from.
Speaker 2: Oh Frank, can I do a thing first? We're going
Speaker 2: to go to the bake sale. And if you want
Speaker 2: to hear the lure of Gimli and the three hairs
Speaker 2: from Gadrielle's head, you have to wait until after the
Speaker 2: bake sale.
Speaker 1: Okay, Lady little Florian Gladriel says like I don't have
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but she gives everybody gifts, but she doesn't
Speaker 1: have one for a dwarf, and he's like, get the
Speaker 1: only gift you could give me to look upon the
Speaker 1: glad the lady of the Lofloian one last time. He
Speaker 1: they're sailing away and he's just like, oh, I've taken
Speaker 1: a wound that will never heal. It's the last time
Speaker 1: I'll probably look upon her face. She was so beautiful,
Speaker 1: and he's like, I did ask her for something, and
Speaker 1: Legs is like, well, what is it. He's like, I
Speaker 1: asked her for a single hair from her, you know,
Speaker 1: beautiful head, and he's like, she gave me three. And
Speaker 1: he's like, oh, I will call nothing fair if it's
Speaker 1: not her gift to me, and Legalis has a smile
Speaker 1: on his face. And because Legolis knows there was this
Speaker 1: one elf, like the elf among elves who like so
Speaker 1: pursue Gladriel, and he wanted to use like he asked
Speaker 1: for three hairs from her head, and he was going
Speaker 1: to model the light of these three uh you know
Speaker 1: when they say like three elves three wings for the elves.
Speaker 1: He was going to model the light in these rings
Speaker 1: on her hair because it's so beautiful. But she could
Speaker 1: see the selfishness and the like the evil in his heart,
Speaker 1: and she refused to give him so like, you know,
Speaker 1: the fact that she could see Gimley was just going
Speaker 1: to treasure this gift and how good he was in
Speaker 1: his heart, and she honored him three times above the
Speaker 1: greatest Elf. That's when Legos is like, maybe we can
Speaker 1: be friends, and that leads that leads to the last
Speaker 1: battle where Gimli and Legolis are waiting to fight this
Speaker 1: in this horrendously outnumbered battle, and Gimbley says to him,
Speaker 1: I never thought I'd die fighting next to an Elf,
Speaker 1: and Legalis supplies what about fighting next to a friend?
Speaker 1: And Gimily looks up and says, I I could do that.
Speaker 1: I do love that part also, of course, the old
Speaker 1: the part where I openly start weeping when the four
Speaker 1: Hobbits see King Eric Gorn for the first time and
Speaker 1: they bow and Aragorn just says, my friends, you bow
Speaker 1: to no one, and then everybody bows to the Hobbits.
Speaker 2: Oh that is really sweet. Who plays Aericorn?
Speaker 1: Thin go Mortonson?
Speaker 2: Oh okay, we're right, Yeah, nothing else the Hobbits, Yeah,
Speaker 2: the Elms are fine. He pay plays an Elf, and
Speaker 2: so does Keith Blanchett.
Speaker 1: I think, yes, she plays like Galadriel Ah.
Speaker 2: The one who understands that Kimily is pretty chill.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but of course, because like Kate Blanchett is beautiful,
Speaker 1: but it's like an other worldly beautiful where you're just
Speaker 1: kind of like, did she come from IRV?
Speaker 2: Yes? I mean you see her as Tar and you're
Speaker 2: like whoa, and then.
Speaker 1: You're like, whoa, look at her conduct the that orchestra
Speaker 1: to before the Monster Hunter soundtrack.
Speaker 2: Spoiler her guitar Frank. When that happened, I went in
Speaker 2: not knowing I lost my mind. I was like, WHOA,
Speaker 2: what's funny is? I feel like people at work now
Speaker 2: know not to ask me for like movie recommendations, because
Speaker 2: I love stuff like Tar, like a three hour takedown
Speaker 2: movie about like a monstrous sort of genius conductor and
Speaker 2: then the movie ends that way. And a woman had
Speaker 2: asked me at work, like a coworker, like, oh what
Speaker 2: did she say? Guitar? And I was like I loved it,
Speaker 2: and she like returned it.
Speaker 1: The next day.
Speaker 2: I was like I couldn't get here this like okay,
Speaker 2: same thing with like every thing everywhere all once. I
Speaker 2: feel like the kind of movies that I really love
Speaker 2: and recommend are very divisive. So I've just started saying
Speaker 2: it's kind of weird. But like like when I was
Speaker 2: on my whole Megalopolis Tip a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 2: where I was like, it's amazing, it's excruciating for an
Speaker 2: hour of it, you're gonna hate everything, but it's so
Speaker 2: good and you have to see in the theater and
Speaker 2: people are like, what, okay, yeah, but now go back
Speaker 2: to the club. Has become a meme, which is amazing
Speaker 2: and I'm so happy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So to get back to another heartbreaking scene because
Speaker 1: it's Sean aston and and once again, this is where
Speaker 1: I thought we were gonna get like Bob's final betrayal
Speaker 1: where he's gonna like try and kill Hopper or something. No,
Speaker 1: Bob is trying to see do that.
Speaker 2: That would be like such terrible writing where all of
Speaker 2: a sudden Bob becomes like a selfish monster and tries
Speaker 2: some murder offer. Can you imagine the message boards because
Speaker 2: we size the hero and Sean Asten gets to do
Speaker 2: his best getting eaten by a monster acting Yeah, I.
Speaker 1: Can only imagine like he's definitely getting like poked by
Speaker 1: tennis balls on long sticks.
Speaker 2: I didn't even think of that. It just makes us
Speaker 2: acting that much better, because like, how how would you
Speaker 2: act while they're like picture a monster here and you're like, well, no,
Speaker 2: it's a tennis ball on a stick.
Speaker 1: Well, okay, sorry, just go quickly back to Lord of
Speaker 1: the Rings. So to give Ian McKellen an understanding where
Speaker 1: the eye line for the ball rog is? You know,
Speaker 1: from the you shall Not Pass scene, they had a
Speaker 1: tennis ball on a stick and they were holding it
Speaker 1: up where like this is where would be yelling at
Speaker 1: and he during one take he just shouts, you shall
Speaker 1: not bounce.
Speaker 2: I love that. I'm not allowed to talk about Megalopolis,
Speaker 2: but you need to talk about Lord of the Rings more.
Speaker 1: Oh, do you want to talk more about Michalis?
Speaker 2: Go ahead, Yeah, Frank, the world cannot take my takes
Speaker 2: on Caesar Catalina.
Speaker 1: We could always do an after credit.
Speaker 2: I would like that.
Speaker 4: The movie ends with a zoom in on a baby,
Speaker 4: and the ending scene is from crotch level of all
Speaker 4: the actors focused on a baby.
Speaker 2: The Jaq Carlo just puts on the stage and then
Speaker 2: they start swooming. It's the baby. And at this point
Speaker 2: I'm crying, why what is happening? Joan Carlo is holding
Speaker 2: this baby, which may or me not being CGI the
Speaker 2: c g I. It explains why he's sold this baby
Speaker 2: so awkwardly. But then he puts it on the stage
Speaker 2: and it's just there. It's not crawling, it's not old
Speaker 2: enough to crawl. So it's just a baby on a
Speaker 2: stage at a New Year's party in Megalopolis, which looks
Speaker 2: like absolute shit. And you know how like the looney
Speaker 2: tune screen zoomed into a point like around like bugs
Speaker 2: or porky. Yeah, that's what it does around this baby.
Speaker 2: And then the movie's just over and I lost my mind.
Speaker 2: I was losing it. This is why everyone needs this film.
Speaker 2: This isn't a spoiler. Becau has nothing to do with
Speaker 2: the rest of the film.
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, so well we get a chance, we'll do
Speaker 1: the extra credit where Susie will just get however long
Speaker 1: she wants just to talk about Michaloppolis. So okay, I didn't. Yeah, Sizzy,
Speaker 1: I would not put a moratory when you're talking about
Speaker 1: that garbage film.
Speaker 2: So genius.
Speaker 1: Okay. So they everybody retreats to the just endlessly battered
Speaker 1: Buyer's residents and they figure they start formulating their final
Speaker 1: plan where they need to get They need to get
Speaker 1: the monster out of Will and then they can have Okay, Well,
Speaker 1: first they want to talk to Will. They know Will
Speaker 1: still inside, so they take Will to the shed and
Speaker 1: basically Joyce and Jonathan start talking to Will, trying to
Speaker 1: get him to remember things, and Mike's there too, and like,
Speaker 1: every story just makes me more upset because I'm just like,
Speaker 1: Will is such a good boy, Like why do these
Speaker 1: terrible things happening to them? Because like one of the
Speaker 1: stories is that Will saw a little girl crying and
Speaker 1: he wanted to give his tongue an trut to a
Speaker 1: little girl because she was sad, and his mom's like,
Speaker 1: we can't afford to get you another talka truck and
Speaker 1: he's like, well it doesn't matter, she's sad, and just
Speaker 1: like like I started crying to this party and so like,
Speaker 1: and another story is like how Will and Mike became
Speaker 1: best friends. They were both on the swings alone and
Speaker 1: it's just eventually like but they realized Will is signaling
Speaker 1: to them in morse code, and he signals to them
Speaker 1: close gate, and there's a giant gate at Hawkins Live
Speaker 1: that's open, and so the plan is that they're going
Speaker 1: to take Will to Hopper's cabin. There they're going to
Speaker 1: try and sweat the monster out, and then once the
Speaker 1: monster's out, they're going to close the gate. But then
Speaker 1: they realize Will or the monster can hear through Will
Speaker 1: the phone call. He knows that they're at the buyer's residence.
Speaker 1: All these all the demo dogs start coming there, and
Speaker 1: Hopper is preparing basically a last stand. He has a
Speaker 1: rifle and he's like trying to give it to Jonathan's
Speaker 1: like can you use this? And He's like no, and
Speaker 1: Nancy's like, I got it. She immediately just goes to
Speaker 1: Nancy like gunner mode, preparing to just shoot things down.
Speaker 1: I just love that. That's just a facet of who
Speaker 1: Nancy is.
Speaker 2: Isn't it amazing to think, Well, Nancy is shooting down
Speaker 2: demo dogs, her mom is flirting with shitty Billy Yeah,
Speaker 2: and cut holding poor Ted Susy.
Speaker 1: Nobody cares about Ted.
Speaker 2: I feel like, and I'm going with me a stranger
Speaker 2: things that I take a random dude from an episode
Speaker 2: and I'm like, but what about this guy?
Speaker 1: Let's see who list of people who don't care about Ted?
Speaker 1: Missus Wheeler, Mike Wheeler, Nancy Wheeler probably Steve so for
Speaker 1: Ted Susie. Ted is in love with the government. He
Speaker 1: doesn't deserve pity, so they they prepared to fight. Then
Speaker 1: they just start hearing these the demo dogs screaming. The
Speaker 1: door unlocks itself and boom, Eleven's back.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: Episode ends. Episode nine. Eleven is saying hi to everybody.
Speaker 1: She's hugging Hopper, She's hugging Mike. She gives the coldest
Speaker 1: of shoulders to Max. Max is like, yo, I was
Speaker 1: just skateboarding around your boyfriend. I have no not interested
Speaker 1: in at all.
Speaker 2: Doesn't say that really does try with eleven two. She says,
Speaker 2: you know, I've heard so much about you. You're like
Speaker 2: something along those lines that Eleven's so cool, and Eleven's like, nah,
Speaker 2: I heard you from a man. Yeah. She's not having it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So Mike is very angry of Hopper that he
Speaker 1: was keeping her away. Hopper just ends up hugging him.
Speaker 1: They start putting the plane into action. Shitty Billy shows up.
Speaker 1: Steve tries to fight him off. Eventually Max brings him
Speaker 1: down and slams the nail beat. She first she sticks
Speaker 1: him with the sedative and then she's just like, you're
Speaker 1: not going to touch him or my friends ever again
Speaker 1: or me, and she like slams the base leffel of
Speaker 1: nails in between his legs and she's just like, let's
Speaker 1: see you trying to douce. Uh, missus will without about this.
Speaker 2: Obviously, Max is thinking about Ted.
Speaker 1: In for Chad, nobody's thinking about Ted.
Speaker 2: Still is where his Ted fan shirt right now?
Speaker 1: That doesn't exist. Nobody cares about Ted fine, so uh, Steve,
Speaker 1: So the demo dogs, they realized the demodogs heading to
Speaker 1: Hawkins Lab. Or they're gonna head to Hawkins Lab. So
Speaker 1: Steve and Lucas and Dustin and Max are going to
Speaker 1: cause a distraction. Steve wakes up in a horrifying situation
Speaker 1: where a twelve year old is speeding down the road
Speaker 1: in a muscle car.
Speaker 2: And he has a clear, leaking cust Yeah, he's hearing
Speaker 2: like echoes. His vision is blurry. He's confused and disoriented.
Speaker 2: Steve should be going to the hospital, not to a
Speaker 2: tunnel to fight demo dogs.
Speaker 1: To inhale once again spores that we don't know what
Speaker 1: they do to you.
Speaker 2: Yeah they good for Steve.
Speaker 1: So, yeah, they set the tunnels on fire. We get
Speaker 1: one last running with Dart. I'm assuming Dark is killed
Speaker 1: along with the rest of the Demon dogs. They also
Speaker 1: stuff one of the Deva dogs into the fridge to
Speaker 1: preserve it, and Steve is just like, you're explaining this
Speaker 1: mess to missus Bayer, so that's where they're found. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: probably once again, the most upsetting scene is happening with Will,
Speaker 1: where they're trying to heat him up with space heaters
Speaker 1: and a fireplace, and we're just watching the two people
Speaker 1: who love him the most watching him suffer, and like,
Speaker 1: Joyce is so angry at this thing for you know,
Speaker 1: possessing her son and killing Bob that she's just turning
Speaker 1: the heat up on it and eventually it leaves his body.
Speaker 1: She signals Hopper they start closing the gate. We get
Speaker 1: a power of love, power of friendship moment with Eleven
Speaker 1: using her anger to close the gate. We also get
Speaker 1: a beautiful scene of Hopper and Eleven driving along to
Speaker 1: Hawkins Lab and he's just like, so, what's with the
Speaker 1: whole new look. He's like, I think it's cool, and
Speaker 1: they apologize to one another and he talks about his
Speaker 1: deceased daughter. I start crying even harder, and eventually the
Speaker 1: day is saved. We jumped forward to Christmas and the snowball,
Speaker 1: and we finally see these kids what they're supposed to
Speaker 1: be doing, which is just being normal as kids. Yea,
Speaker 1: like Joyce's teaching, Will had to dance. Mike is getting
Speaker 1: pictures taken of him by his mom and she's just like, boy,
Speaker 1: oh boy, I can't wait to go make out with
Speaker 1: Billy And you know, cook, hold your father or that.
Speaker 2: That's not even there for the pictures. Want someone please
Speaker 2: think about Ted?
Speaker 1: I want a why he's not there for the picture,
Speaker 1: Susy because he doesn't care? Just care, Susy. If you,
Speaker 1: if you love Ted so much, write some Ted fan fiction.
Speaker 2: I will. Okay, but I find Ted came home from work.
Speaker 2: Ted drink half a beer. Ted took a nap, Ted
Speaker 2: woke up, said, failed to answer the front door.
Speaker 1: Ted called something women's work. It was gender neutral work
Speaker 1: at best.
Speaker 2: Who should we shipped Ted with? He's a mustache cop.
Speaker 1: No, I don't know. He is government so they would
Speaker 1: probably love him. I was gonna say, Paul Reiser scientists, that's.
Speaker 2: Such a better ship. Okay, Frank, you twist in my
Speaker 2: arm right. The Ted fanfic wait to.
Speaker 1: Say I should write the Ted pic.
Speaker 2: You do a better job. I've I've lost after Ted
Speaker 2: fails to answered the door again.
Speaker 1: Ted and Paul Reiser don't know how to make a roast.
Speaker 1: They go hungry, yes, a little.
Speaker 2: Bit, and then they perish. It's so romantic and so tragic.
Speaker 2: It's like a roast.
Speaker 1: It's like a modern day Romeo and Juliet.
Speaker 2: It really is.
Speaker 1: They both now. Yeah, I think Paul Reiser's a bit
Speaker 1: Paul Riiser scientist is a bit more. No, he's still
Speaker 1: a sucky scientist. He probably going I think.
Speaker 2: He fails, like at the most basic level, he does
Speaker 2: not contain the hell now it takes over the town.
Speaker 2: A bunch of people die.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I was gonna say they both they die
Speaker 1: in Phil because the one will clean, because that's men's
Speaker 1: work in their eyes.
Speaker 2: Oh man. So I knew that at the end of
Speaker 2: the episode we were going to get a flash of
Speaker 2: some sort of monster for the next season. And it
Speaker 2: was not as exciting as I thought it would be.
Speaker 2: It was more just like shadow monster still there and
Speaker 2: then it ends. But you know, next next Spookie season,
Speaker 2: I would like to cover this again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just want to continue. We also get like
Speaker 1: Billy's just walking around in the background. Max is basically
Speaker 1: keep stepping and then uh, everybody's at the dance. Lucas
Speaker 1: dances with Max, some rando girl dances with Will Still
Speaker 1: call some zombie boy. Dustin can't find any way to
Speaker 1: dance with. And then Nancy is just like, in your face, nerves,
Speaker 1: I'm going to dance with Dustin.
Speaker 2: He causes quite the stir.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then with Mike is standing off by himself,
Speaker 1: and then who comes through the door but eleven eleven?
Speaker 1: He Mike asks to dance. She says, I don't know how. Oh,
Speaker 1: and we get a paul Rise of scientist finally does
Speaker 1: something right and he gives Hopper a birth certificate with
Speaker 1: you know, for Jane Hopper, and he says congratulations dead Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he's just and like, how long does she have
Speaker 1: to stay hidden? And Paula is like about a year
Speaker 1: and Hoppers just like, oh God, this is gonna be
Speaker 1: so hard to do. He's like, what about can't get
Speaker 1: one night? And he's like, what's so important about one night?
Speaker 1: Because it's the dance and eleven and Mike dance. It's
Speaker 1: very cute. That's when we get the big shot mind
Speaker 1: Flay is still around. He ain't gone, he ain't dead,
Speaker 1: and he'll be back for season three and so will we.
