Speaker 2: You could have done the Pterodactylus the Eye in the sky.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's I really feel like, I really feel
Speaker 1: like I kind of I set you up with gold
Speaker 1: for that bit. I just feel like I got pteradact
Speaker 1: I just feel like I got nothing back.
Speaker 4: This.
Speaker 1: Please Yeah, I used to a dactyl.
Speaker 5: I spell it, spell it.
Speaker 2: P T E R O wrong.
Speaker 4: What I don't know.
Speaker 5: I used to listen to a show called Alan Robson's
Speaker 5: Night Owls Northeast radio show, and the whole catchphrase for
Speaker 5: the show was did not have a pooh between ten
Speaker 5: and two, because those are the hours that he was on,
Speaker 5: and it was a call in show. It's like, didn't
Speaker 5: have a poo between ten and two?
Speaker 2: You know he's doing no.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Do we get him on here?
Speaker 4: We get that guy?
Speaker 2: We get that guy. I think he got like an
Speaker 2: obe or something.
Speaker 4: A terodactyl that would have been good for like the
Speaker 4: Flintstones traffic report. You know.
Speaker 1: I don't know, Jeff, I think like, you know, you
Speaker 1: could have you could have done some squawking. You could
Speaker 1: have been a bit more like the last couple.
Speaker 3: He deserves an I don't know, I don't know why.
Speaker 1: You know what time you're doing? Right? I am no,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna, I'm not going. Can't all knock it out?
Speaker 1: Of the park first time. Take it away to the terodactyl,
Speaker 1: Jeff Beckeler, This is the pterodactyl, pete the pterodactyl. That's
Speaker 1: not an alliteration. Don't worry about it.
Speaker 4: Uh listen, I'm up in the sky, I'm cruising through
Speaker 4: the Northwest, and I'm seeing some shit. I won't I
Speaker 4: can't squad because this terodactyl's got a sore throat. Back
Speaker 4: to you, John in.
Speaker 3: The studio, somehow worse than the first YEA, yeah.
Speaker 1: That's definitely like its kind of moraler energy.
Speaker 4: You know, I think it's messed up that we're all
Speaker 4: assuming pterodactyl's squalled, and I think, hmm, that's like an
Speaker 4: unfair assumption.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you think you think it's the kind of whole
Speaker 1: dinosaur feathers kind of thing happening.
Speaker 4: Oh, I mean the one dinosaur that flew. I don't know,
Speaker 4: maybe you.
Speaker 2: Think it was the only one that flew.
Speaker 4: That's popular, the most popular flying one.
Speaker 5: And you know the kid yesterday, well, the my friend's
Speaker 5: kid was saying, like having her milk before she's going
Speaker 5: to bed and triump. Can you tell me about dinosaurs
Speaker 5: and sharks? And one story and the thing is is
Speaker 5: that it turns out I have a very limited knowledge
Speaker 5: about both. So you could tell me that the t
Speaker 5: rex flies and I'd be like, maybe was it in
Speaker 5: the movie?
Speaker 2: Missed it?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Dinosaurs are neat. They're fun. You know, sharks sharks too,
Speaker 4: but I think dinosaurs are cooler.
Speaker 3: Growl, hiss or click rather than squawk like birds.
Speaker 4: So there you go, there's your click.
Speaker 1: You're not getting a third shot.
Speaker 5: Do you remember when they found that Neanderthal body and
Speaker 5: they recreated what his voice would sound like and it
Speaker 5: sounded hilarious.
Speaker 1: It sounded like, ah, do you guys feel like that
Speaker 1: science is constantly trying to humiliate the dinosaur?
Speaker 4: Ye? No, I don't think that's true.
Speaker 1: You think I think by putting I think that the
Speaker 1: dinosaur had a very noble and frightening air to them
Speaker 1: around Jurassic Park, And I feel like since then, body,
Speaker 1: there's just this group of fucking scientists and they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: guess what. They grew feathers or they had feathers, Oh
Speaker 1: guess they They they sounded like weenies when they said anything,
Speaker 1: Oh guess what. They're really gentle lovers, those one on,
Speaker 1: isn't it?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 4: You made the last one up that I don't think. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I don't think giving a gigantic like two story tall. Uh,
Speaker 4: you know, dragon lizard is like all of a sudden,
Speaker 4: you know, gentle, you know, like, come on, what are
Speaker 4: you talking about?
Speaker 1: That's insane? I mean, okay, are you saying that you would?
Speaker 1: Are you saying you didn't chuckle a little bit when
Speaker 1: you found out the tyrannosaur, king of the no Jungle
Speaker 1: of the prehistoric age actually was Jeff, That's silly, it's
Speaker 1: envision it. It's silly.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you guys are are you're not suspending
Speaker 4: your disbelief enough or whatever it is.
Speaker 2: You're kind of a dragon dinosaur erotica.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like that's irrelevant.
Speaker 1: Triterra tops and bottoms. Yeah, okay, that's the name of
Speaker 1: the book.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know. I look, I don't care. It's fine. No,
Speaker 4: I I get why it's dinosaur tri Sarah toops and bombs.
Speaker 4: I get the joke. I get it. You know, give
Speaker 4: any give anyone the chance to make things fuck, and
Speaker 4: they'll do it. I understand. That's the way the world works.
Speaker 4: It's fine. I'm not taking anything away from dinersas I
Speaker 4: don't care if dinosaurs whenever, whenever they open their mouth,
Speaker 4: it sounded like a clown horn. I don't care, I
Speaker 4: don't care. What the fuck They're still horrifying. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4: You know, do you ever think about that?
Speaker 1: I haven't had a lot of time to think about that, Jeff,
Speaker 1: because what I've been thinking about is the first piece
Speaker 1: of the flashback from this episode where and I just
Speaker 1: had to laugh. I watched it today and it's a
Speaker 1: recap of the conversation with Varius. Yeah, wouldn't it be
Speaker 1: a shame if a stray arrows like a straight arrow?
Speaker 4: Which, yes, poise, do you want me to lay it
Speaker 4: out for you?
Speaker 1: Just why not getting it?
Speaker 4: He's like, I'm saying, hire an archer to kill Griffith,
Speaker 4: you dumb, dense bitch. How hello, Hello? This is what
Speaker 4: is the egghead's name? Like Foulis or something.
Speaker 1: Follow something like that. Yeah, anyway, kill him.
Speaker 4: He draws a picture, he draws like a whole diagram
Speaker 4: of how it will work, you know, and.
Speaker 1: Then and then and then your mind's like, yes, it
Speaker 1: would be good if someone did this. Let's hope that happens.
Speaker 4: Just to be clear, you don't mean me right, Like
Speaker 4: I don't have to be the one to do it right.
Speaker 2: Well, you'm afraid. You signed your name right here. You've
Speaker 2: agreed to do it. This contract is legally binding.
Speaker 1: I thought these were two incredibly strong episodes.
Speaker 4: I agreed, agreed, they were excellent.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think this look. The first episode is good.
Speaker 1: The first episode is like, you know, it's putting the
Speaker 1: piece is in place. We start off it's like the
Speaker 1: kind of hitting party and the band of Hawk are
Speaker 1: escorting the King. But that second episode, man, there is
Speaker 1: so much berserk in that episode. So many like huge
Speaker 1: things happen.
Speaker 4: A couple of things I learned.
Speaker 2: Before we dive in, before we dive in.
Speaker 5: John, Yeah, Pepper pig bag.
Speaker 1: Yes, oh what does it matter?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: No, no, can I see it?
Speaker 2: Can I see it?
Speaker 4: Pepper pig And then and then somehow describe it to
Speaker 4: the people listening.
Speaker 2: Oh it's Percy Pig. I'm sorry.
Speaker 5: Percy is the name of a very nice sweetie that
Speaker 5: you get from Marx and Spencers in the UK.
Speaker 3: I gets from Marx and Spencers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we live, we live fancy around here. Sometimes that's good.
Speaker 4: I'm glad someone who has an attic their fancy now wow. Cool.
Speaker 1: You know, Jeff, list is something I told you in confidence,
Speaker 1: and now people know I have an attic. A matter
Speaker 1: of time before.
Speaker 3: The basement dedicated to pinball machines is getting up with
Speaker 3: you about someone with it.
Speaker 4: They're not.
Speaker 1: They're in my pinball room, tam, not in my basement.
Speaker 4: Please. Number two, Uh, you have a you have an addict,
Speaker 4: and therefore you were doxed. Listen, here are the two
Speaker 4: things that I noticed this week. But everyone definitely I
Speaker 4: had my suspicions that this was just a Game of
Speaker 4: Throne show.
Speaker 3: What didn't we give Jeff homework to write an episode
Speaker 3: or something?
Speaker 4: No, I would agree, damn.
Speaker 3: We definitely think.
Speaker 4: It was more long term. I think I had more time.
Speaker 3: Noway, gave you a week to come up with some
Speaker 3: some reason or something.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we gotta go back. There's no way to know. Listen,
Speaker 4: there's like the all over again. Tell me about that
Speaker 4: ruined a month of my life? So right, very Game
Speaker 4: of Thrones, I get it. That's what Brazik is.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 4: Awesome? Cool? Fine. I accidentally watched this show on one
Speaker 4: point five X speed and didn't realize it, and it
Speaker 4: was fine, Like.
Speaker 1: Jeff show, I will take I will fucking shoot listen.
Speaker 4: It wasn't on Perman, John, it wasn't one of those
Speaker 4: product but you've done it once.
Speaker 1: You did it once, Jeff. When there are people on
Speaker 1: Twitter like productivity gurus, and one of them was like,
Speaker 1: you know what, you can just watch anime on one
Speaker 1: point x five.
Speaker 4: No, no, you.
Speaker 2: Can to yourself help help books at one point.
Speaker 4: I'm not advocating. This is not me advocating. Obviously, everyone
Speaker 4: should consume this show at the proper how God intended
Speaker 4: one x speed right, like do that. I just want
Speaker 4: you to know that it got flipped on by accident,
Speaker 4: and I did not realize that, Like I didn't even.
Speaker 1: Like you're you're bringing this as if it's like some
Speaker 1: kind of discovery to be applauded. This is a I think.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like to me, it's it's just very demonstrative. Like, man,
Speaker 1: this show really makes a meal out of everything, like
Speaker 1: it just and that's fine, that's I get it. That's
Speaker 1: sort of like I think White Lotus does stuff like
Speaker 1: that too, where they just make you where they make
Speaker 1: you like soak in the uh you know, scenery and
Speaker 1: all that, and and I like that I think it's
Speaker 1: a beautiful way of storytelling. Again, this is not a
Speaker 1: dig at berserk. I just think it's one of those
Speaker 1: funny little things that I noticed. And you can watch
Speaker 1: this show, uh and not realize it's being sped up
Speaker 1: by a time and a half, which I thought was
Speaker 1: I'm gonna lose it.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 4: Listen, John, if you shouldn't, you shouldn't show me what
Speaker 4: makes you squirm? Okay, because now I have Now I
Speaker 4: have some leverage here, Bud.
Speaker 2: What a weird way to phrase that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so strange.
Speaker 4: It's okay. Leverage anyway. Friendship is Jeff, Maybe with your friends.
Speaker 2: No get leverage over each other.
Speaker 4: Don't tell me how to be friends with people. Okay,
Speaker 4: this is how I do it. How I do it.
Speaker 2: I treat it like the boardroom.
Speaker 4: Man, it's a constant battle. Success, always success. It's always succession.
Speaker 4: It's always succession.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're not constantly trying to establish a mild
Speaker 1: psychological dominance over your friends, and how do you even
Speaker 1: know that they like you? Exactly agreed speaking, But look
Speaker 1: at my cat.
Speaker 2: Everyone look at her. She's just lying in the sun.
Speaker 2: She's just having the best time. It's so sunny. Even
Speaker 2: see half of her.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I see I see a strip of white with cattiers.
Speaker 2: That's just me. Think it's pretty good anyway.
Speaker 1: Anyway, so the King is like watching watching all his
Speaker 1: dude's hunt, and he's like, in my younger years, why
Speaker 1: I would have done this? And then they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: you're not so young, King, But he's like, well, you know,
Speaker 1: if I if I step in there, the hunt will
Speaker 1: be over instantly. And everyone's like, ah, this guy and
Speaker 1: so powerful, and cork is two point zero is basically
Speaker 1: just taking a moment to like glare at Griffith.
Speaker 3: He wait a second, I think I feel like we've
Speaker 3: mischaracterized the king here. That's not what he said. He said,
Speaker 3: I'm old as fun. If I get involved, I'm going
Speaker 3: to ruin this for everyone. And they're going to be yeah,
Speaker 3: that's kind of okay. Has been like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought, yeah, time is time is completely correct there.
Speaker 3: That's why they say it's very kind of you, your
Speaker 3: majesty mm hmm.
Speaker 4: What are they hunting? Like a little fox?
Speaker 3: They're doing At one point nice to do this suddenly
Speaker 3: transitioned into a bear or boar, and I was like,
Speaker 3: when did that happen.
Speaker 1: Huh, And the fox is like running along and Goods
Speaker 1: steps out and basically goes like to stop the f
Speaker 1: boo boogy. Yeah, and you can tell he didn't want
Speaker 1: to be here. This is silly bollocks and he doesn't
Speaker 1: absolutely great use.
Speaker 2: Of silly bollocks. I haven't heard that in a while.
Speaker 1: Yep. And all right, we get our only Carcus moments
Speaker 1: for the entirety of these two episodes, well nearly the entirety,
Speaker 1: bullshit second one. He's in the second one at the
Speaker 1: very end, but like, it's not enough. It's not it's
Speaker 1: it's not really enough at all.
Speaker 4: Now, it doesn't fill the Corcus quotas what actually were
Speaker 4: true fans of the people in the fan club call
Speaker 4: it the Carcus quota Porcus not being met.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, it's it's it's it's very disappointing. But
Speaker 1: thankfully that's why we have our own professional caucus impersonator.
Speaker 1: And Jeff, I would like to I'd like you to
Speaker 1: bring us into a scene where Corcus Guts has just
Speaker 1: moved in across the road and he is not stowing
Speaker 1: his trash cans correctly, correctly, and Corcus is writing him
Speaker 1: a very angry anonymous letter telling him that he should
Speaker 1: be a better homeowner. Go for it.
Speaker 4: To the brute that moved in down the way. This
Speaker 4: is a note from a concerned citizen. We are part
Speaker 4: of an h o A. I'm not sure you know
Speaker 4: what that means, but it's a homeowners or association. Sometimes
Speaker 4: I struggle reading my own writing. Some call a chicken scratch.
Speaker 4: I think it's fine. We have rules here, sir, and
Speaker 4: part of those rules follow the nights you're supposed to
Speaker 4: put trash out Mondays, Wednesdays and Friday's regular trash Thursdays,
Speaker 4: and repeating every other month, every other month recycling. Please
Speaker 4: sought it. I did this for you the other day,
Speaker 4: and I won't do it again. Listen to me here,
Speaker 4: Listen to me now. This is the last time I
Speaker 4: will sort your recyclables for you, you brute. All the best,
Speaker 4: all the best. Attached is a fifty five dollars gift
Speaker 4: card to bed Beth and beyond. Welcome to the neighborhood,
Speaker 4: yours caucused.
Speaker 1: I gotta say, Jeff, I don't give you a lot
Speaker 1: to work with with them, but you really smash it
Speaker 1: every time.
Speaker 2: Every time it's like he's been taking.
Speaker 1: Unbelievable Yeah, thanks, guys, that means a lot.
Speaker 4: I appreciate that. It's fun to do.
Speaker 1: Do you ever feel like sometimes like you you kind
Speaker 1: of stumble on like an stier talents. I think you're okay,
Speaker 1: we're on the flat relations Jeff. It's just it's what
Speaker 1: you were meant to do, you know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, well, hey I do. I am about
Speaker 4: to have my first it's uncredited, but I did get
Speaker 4: my first voice acting work.
Speaker 1: He did, serious, I did.
Speaker 4: It's for it's for the Netflix show, David Letterman's Netflix
Speaker 4: show for my next guest. I'm sleeping with the producer.
Speaker 4: Let me. But I did get work, and I did
Speaker 4: get paid. No, I have the option. But it's like
Speaker 4: it's been five grand a year to the screen as
Speaker 4: though she gets up.
Speaker 2: That's incredible. You're gonna be a David Lemon thing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just like a voiceover thing that they're like,
Speaker 4: we need someone to sound like a podcaster. Yeah, they're like,
Speaker 4: we need someone to sound like a podcaster who's like
Speaker 4: lazing Caitlin Clark, who's the who's like the she's an
Speaker 4: amazing women's basketball talent.
Speaker 5: Yeah wait, I could just imagine Stacey being in the
Speaker 5: meeting where she's.
Speaker 1: Like, oh, I know a guy.
Speaker 4: She's like, oh, he's the next door and the office
Speaker 4: next to me. But she she gave she gave me direction,
Speaker 4: and you know it was it was a great day
Speaker 4: of work.
Speaker 1: Jeff. If I write and Ipatchole's character for you, will
Speaker 1: you voice them?
Speaker 4: He's already one without come on without.
Speaker 5: The nicest thing that anyone said about that me being
Speaker 5: in that I patchual thing was that they watched it
Speaker 5: three times and couldn't tell which one was me.
Speaker 1: That is actually that's actually really a compliment.
Speaker 2: I was like, thank you so much.
Speaker 1: I showed someone a script recently, and does someone who
Speaker 1: like doesn't work in areas sometimes give you, like just
Speaker 1: a piece of feedback and they don't realize how devastating
Speaker 1: it is. They're like, oh no, why do all the characters,
Speaker 1: why do all the characters talk like you?
Speaker 4: And I was like, that's funny, that's rough.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that hurt. That hurt, baby. And another thing that
Speaker 1: hurts is the feelings of Princess Charlotte when, because she
Speaker 1: doesn't like watching these hunts there enough for her, she
Speaker 1: wonders why men always engage in activities of bloodshed. And
Speaker 1: that's where Griffith's like, I'm not like with her boys,
Speaker 1: and he gets little leaf and he like puts it
Speaker 1: to his lips and oh my god.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, I was laughing. I've not I did
Speaker 4: not think I'd be hysterically laughing. Griff Is just like, yeah,
Speaker 4: you're right, all men are pigs far noise? What about
Speaker 4: this leaf fart? No is this little squeaking duck fart?
Speaker 1: Like, oh my god, what.
Speaker 4: Is this show doing? What is happening? I was laughing
Speaker 4: so hard. I showed Dylan. He's just like, what are
Speaker 4: you what? Why are they doing that?
Speaker 1: I would resist the urge to relatable Dylan much berserk.
Speaker 1: This is the safest scene for him. Yeah, okay, I
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 2: Next time he goes outside, he's gonna be picking up
Speaker 2: leaves and going.
Speaker 1: But just like the way Griffith just just apropos and
Speaker 1: nothing was just like, yeah, you're right, men are gross,
Speaker 1: We're all gross.
Speaker 4: He just it's like two fingers it up against his
Speaker 4: fucking mouth, and it's just like, what is she supposed
Speaker 4: to say to that? She's like, oh, good point, because
Speaker 4: she's like that's awesome. I love it. That's the name
Speaker 4: of this episode. Never tried it. I would give it
Speaker 4: a shot, but without a doubt.
Speaker 3: We'll have to next time we're together, any sort of
Speaker 3: event that's coming up, we're gonna have to get you.
Speaker 4: I hope there's leaves. I hope there's leaves.
Speaker 1: Is it?
Speaker 5: Is it like a not to be crass? Not to
Speaker 5: be crass, but is it like, Hey, if I can
Speaker 5: do this with my mouth with just you.
Speaker 4: Know, imagine what I could do with that fox?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 4: Yeah, you think this was like a horny thing.
Speaker 1: Likes him? Oh yeah, I just thought it was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: to try and a little from column, a little from
Speaker 1: I think I mean showing someone how to do something
Speaker 1: with their lips. You know.
Speaker 4: I think I think both things are true. I agree
Speaker 4: in thinking about it for another second or two, Griffith
Speaker 4: has not done anything that's not sexy, right, so he's
Speaker 4: it's impossible for him to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is the least sexy he can possibly be.
Speaker 4: And it's still quite, and it's still a fart noise,
Speaker 4: and it's still yeah, like I want no ever.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's something that I feel like I'm kind
Speaker 1: of adding my I feel like I say stuff like
Speaker 1: that sometimes and someone will be like, you know, actually,
Speaker 1: ipatch if you're into farts, I actually have a sob
Speaker 1: breada and I'm like, go away.
Speaker 5: A friend of mine once missed a train from a train,
Speaker 5: the last train back to London, and we lived in
Speaker 5: the North of England at the time, because we were watching.
Speaker 1: Cake farts.
Speaker 4: If you've ever seen oh my god, you really brought
Speaker 4: things to a level here.
Speaker 5: I know everyone else what cake farts as he was
Speaker 5: on the internet around twenty ten.
Speaker 4: You know what I love the most? Cake farts.
Speaker 3: Yeah, did any of you pause it when Griffith was
Speaker 3: doing the leaf thing, because if you pause it, it
Speaker 3: looks like he's just got really weird lips and he's
Speaker 3: touching them.
Speaker 1: He looks like he I love my great lips.
Speaker 5: I look it looks like he looks like he went
Speaker 5: down the fucking old isle at Sephora and picked up
Speaker 5: a green lipstick and some blue.
Speaker 1: Contact good fairness colors. Just Jojo character.
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, yeah, oh oh, I know about her. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I have watched it officially. I know we've watched it officially,
Speaker 4: but I know about that character. My favorite Jojo Griffith
Speaker 4: is uh, you know, I mean, come on, like this
Speaker 4: guy and we're about to be introduced to his death stayer,
Speaker 4: which is also pretty sexy, kind of a little bit
Speaker 4: like Paddington's. Don't you think I have never seen a Paddington?
Speaker 4: I know, I know I will, Okay, I know, I
Speaker 4: know you should watch those.
Speaker 1: I have also never seen a Paddington. I think they're
Speaker 1: illegal here.
Speaker 2: Oh although, what was it?
Speaker 5: Like two guys vandalized a Paddington statue in the UK last.
Speaker 3: Week, stolen. There's a video of it, and there was.
Speaker 5: Like a headline where it's like this goes against everything
Speaker 5: Paddington stands for. And I was like, oh, really really upset,
Speaker 5: and like, to be fair, that bear is incredible and
Speaker 5: he's very polite.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I just loved that.
Speaker 5: That's the that's the standard of decency in the UK
Speaker 5: right now, is like, what would this little bear do?
Speaker 2: There's always something with him.
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 1: So Lee fart noises aside, so Lee farting. We get
Speaker 1: a kind of longing look from Kaska kind of watching Griffith,
Speaker 1: but then she kind of a couple of a couple
Speaker 1: of shots later we kind of get she kind of
Speaker 1: smiles and she kind of looks away, and I think
Speaker 1: there's like a kind of sadness to it, and I
Speaker 1: think she's kind of like, well, Griffith ain't mine, but
Speaker 1: at least he's kind of moving up in the world.
Speaker 1: What's happening?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Okay, keep going because I want to speak
Speaker 4: to the next scene here, but I don't want to
Speaker 4: get it in front of you.
Speaker 1: There, Bud. We get a brief scene with Corcus two
Speaker 1: point zero, and I'm just going to say, the most
Speaker 1: assassin looking fucking dude I have ever seen. He has
Speaker 1: little assassin's hat, his skin is like kind of desaturated.
Speaker 1: I don't don't know, It's like he is class in
Speaker 1: a cat. He was, he is every part of this
Speaker 1: person is built for skulking around in like the shadows. Yep,
Speaker 1: that's it. It's typecasted, you know. And then the fox
Speaker 1: turns into a bore, as Tim points out earlier, and
Speaker 1: wait as hell, it's you know, that's some foxes are
Speaker 1: so tricky, tam. I I grew up around foxes, and
Speaker 1: sometimes they do they they sometimes they make really weird noises,
Speaker 1: they go like like that, they turned into their animals.
Speaker 1: It's it's mental.
Speaker 3: Did anyone notice how the backgrounds in this episode look
Speaker 3: absolutely atrocious as well.
Speaker 4: The background.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you go back and watch them in the background,
Speaker 3: it's just a bunch of smears for a long Why.
Speaker 1: Why why did you tell you what's happened in their
Speaker 1: tam they did with this episode is they did like
Speaker 1: I would say, maybe like a dozen a dozen like
Speaker 1: master shots, and they were like, Okay, that's all the
Speaker 1: time we have for every background. We're basically going to
Speaker 1: use a crop section of this shot because everything looks
Speaker 1: really like blown up and really close to the camera.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then later on all the inside areas in
Speaker 3: the cast will look really good for some reason.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, the assassin looks almost like a like an
Speaker 4: evil Disney character.
Speaker 1: He really does, so, I believe. Then the boar scares
Speaker 1: Charlotte's horse and she goes racing off, and our boy
Speaker 1: Griffith goes after our friend Griffith, and we get the
Speaker 1: scene of the two of them by the lake, and
Speaker 1: little Charlotte's she's she's fallen for Griffith hard.
Speaker 4: Yeah, who couldn't.
Speaker 5: Who wouldn't fall for a guy who can make a
Speaker 5: fat noise with the leaf?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 4: She's like, that's the one that put me over the edge.
Speaker 4: I'll do anything, he says, yep.
Speaker 1: And he kind of like wrestles her horse into stopping
Speaker 1: and then, which is pretty good. It's like the Princess,
Speaker 1: this princess Princess.
Speaker 4: I just love that he calms the horse down. He's
Speaker 4: just sort of like, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,
Speaker 4: hey hey hey hey. Is he just saying hey, just
Speaker 4: patting its chest?
Speaker 3: That's pretty Princess Charlotte looks a lot like Princess is older.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, she has the same kind of headdressing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, the same character.
Speaker 1: Good pull to him. And that is when Griffith is
Speaker 1: struck in the chest with a crossbow bolt.
Speaker 4: I laughed, I did, you laughed, Yeah, because like obviously
Speaker 4: this show is not over. Now, you're not going to
Speaker 4: kill Griffith. It's just like they're not going to kill Griffith.
Speaker 4: I just laughed how slowly he fell and how not
Speaker 4: hurt he was, Like, you know, because you knew he's
Speaker 4: not dead. I didn't know how he's gonna super I
Speaker 4: not think bad would ever happen Griffith in this show. No,
Speaker 4: well not in episode nine. And also I just enjoyed
Speaker 4: his slow motion fall. I thought that was funny your
Speaker 4: phone slow motion, Jeff, we talked about this, Yeah, yeah
Speaker 4: did we? But yeah we did. But like even for
Speaker 4: this show it was slow. Yeah, it was pretty sick.
Speaker 2: Wait, and you were watching at one point five speed
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 4: So no, no, that was only for like that was
Speaker 4: only for like four minutes.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, I told you I didn't watch the whole
Speaker 1: you guys, I see. I feel like you employed that
Speaker 1: you had watched the whole. No, no, look, it's fine.
Speaker 4: It started on one point five, so like that means
Speaker 4: I also saw like.
Speaker 2: The Yeah, you watched the opening credit didn't.
Speaker 4: Realize a pen No, I fast forward the song. I
Speaker 4: hate the song. This song is just like it's just
Speaker 4: like butt butt garage Rocket's bad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just like it's.
Speaker 3: Just doing their best to speak English and saying it's whiny.
Speaker 4: To apologize to the nation, the great nation of Japan.
Speaker 4: No I I read on Japan. I enjoy Japan uh
Speaker 4: in a in a big way. I have dreams that
Speaker 4: I get to go there, and then I wake up
Speaker 4: and I'm like, yeah.
Speaker 1: Okay, Jeff, Japan. Maybe maybe if I read you some
Speaker 1: of the lyrics, you'll you'll see the area of your ways.
Speaker 4: I'm sure that will not be the case. Go ahead,
Speaker 4: feel no shame about shape. Whether Chase changes their phrase,
Speaker 4: every mother will show you another way. So put your
Speaker 4: glasses on. Nothing will be wrong. There's no blame, there's
Speaker 4: no flame. It's up to you. The first words should
Speaker 4: be finded. Whatever holds you back? I can get it off,
Speaker 4: can't the first the first couple of songs, the first
Speaker 4: couple of times I watched it. It's fine, okay, but
Speaker 4: I can't do it all the time. I fast forward
Speaker 4: to that, and then there was like a pan that
Speaker 4: went real fast, and I'm like, oh, wait, what's going
Speaker 4: on here?
Speaker 1: So when you said that like you couldn't tell the difference,
Speaker 1: you actually could tell the difference.
Speaker 4: No, I couldn't because I fast forwarded the credits. I
Speaker 4: didn't listen to it. Okay.
Speaker 1: I don't know how I keep ended up on podcasts
Speaker 1: with people who don't like this song.
Speaker 4: I mean, if it was on the radio, I'd leave
Speaker 4: it on. How about that. I'd be like, oh, look,
Speaker 4: it's the berserk song and also the Sad Bastard. I
Speaker 4: like the Sad Bastard score. I think that's good. The
Speaker 4: berserk sad song the the one.
Speaker 1: That's called themes.
Speaker 4: Theme of Guts. I like Theme of Guts.
Speaker 1: I play it on stream whenever something sad happens.
Speaker 4: Oh that makes sense.
Speaker 1: Yep, and we should.
Speaker 4: They should play theme of guts. They should play theme
Speaker 4: of guts when the when the wrong teams score, when
Speaker 4: the visiting team scores at hockey game. That'd be so funny.
Speaker 5: Why don't you suggest that to him?
Speaker 4: I can do I think I can do that.
Speaker 1: Chad Hockey, I'm doctor hockey. It's fine. The bailt actually
Speaker 1: protected him against the arrow shaft. Hit the egg, everyone,
Speaker 1: I'm okay.
Speaker 4: Hit the egg.
Speaker 1: Cast is freaking out, She's like, we need, we need
Speaker 1: to get you checked out. It's okay. Hit maybe my
Speaker 1: weird egg with a face, you know, the egg with
Speaker 1: a face that I had earlier.
Speaker 4: You know, there's big sort of eight ball size weird
Speaker 4: thing that somehow fits under my armor. And it's totally
Speaker 4: fine and normal. It hit that dead on, but.
Speaker 2: It's all right. It's not scrambled or anything. Guys, we're good.
Speaker 1: Is that the thing to talk sometimes? Yeah?
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 4: Guts, It's the king, It's the egg king.
Speaker 1: What is it?
Speaker 4: The King of the egg who cares the egg of
Speaker 4: the king. That implies the king is somehow laying eggs
Speaker 4: across the kingdom. Don't too much about that.
Speaker 2: Hey, do you not know that? Nowhere in Humpty Dumpty
Speaker 2: doesn't mention that he's an egg.
Speaker 1: That's yeah, because of ground but.
Speaker 5: Like, why would well, why is he always portrayed his
Speaker 5: an egg? It never mentions that he's an egg.
Speaker 1: Like, the fact that we gave him an egg form
Speaker 1: is disturbing, and the fact that in the story he's
Speaker 1: not an egg is also separately disturbing. Yeah, well, I
Speaker 1: hear you. Following that, we get a scene between Corcus
Speaker 1: two point zero and this failure of an assassin, and
Speaker 1: he's like, God, damn it, what do I do now?
Speaker 1: And outside there's a handmaiden listening to him, and that
Speaker 1: doesn't come to a lot in these two Well, I
Speaker 1: guess it. I guess that's how you know, that's how
Speaker 1: Griffith knows right in his pocket.
Speaker 4: That leaves it over.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he says it later on in the other episode,
Speaker 3: like I found out by this method.
Speaker 1: And more scenes of this dude just fucking seething over Griffith.
Speaker 1: He hates him so much.
Speaker 4: It is funny how obviously like they're just standing across
Speaker 4: the like.
Speaker 1: Julius, He's just right there.
Speaker 4: He's just right there, Like he's not even like hidden,
Speaker 4: he's you could tell his like he has the hat
Speaker 4: that he wears that like point he kind of hat.
Speaker 4: Griffith is like, also, like I can obviously fucking yeah,
Speaker 4: I could.
Speaker 2: See politically Griffith could not say, oh it was.
Speaker 1: Julius given the crazy eyes. Get to the crazy eyes. Mmm.
Speaker 1: We then get this scene in Griffith's study where Goods
Speaker 1: comes in and look, I'm just gonna say it, Goods
Speaker 1: can wear the shit out of a tank top caddy.
Speaker 1: He really he's he's looking books so good.
Speaker 2: I'm just going to say it. I don't think Griffith
Speaker 2: read all those books.
Speaker 1: No I don't. I don't think he was lying. I
Speaker 1: think I think maybe he read like have to lie
Speaker 1: about it.
Speaker 3: He's just straight up hair in my garage. It's called
Speaker 3: this new Lamborghini hair. Just like, no, mate, you didn't
Speaker 3: read all those.
Speaker 1: Books, no, no way. I watched a book enthusiast, Like
Speaker 1: he's just enthusiastic about the idea of books and their
Speaker 1: bindings and stuff. And then he was explaining before that
Speaker 1: when you see like an old study like this, the
Speaker 1: point wasn't like that someone read all these books. It
Speaker 1: was just as basically as close as you could get
Speaker 1: to an internet search engine back then. Oh, I want
Speaker 1: to know about this thing, I wondered, Do I have
Speaker 1: a book on it in my study? I thought that
Speaker 1: was really interesting. That is really interesting.
Speaker 5: Friend of mine is a bookbinder like repairs books, and
Speaker 5: it makes all videos on his Instagram about all the
Speaker 5: books he repairs. Like, I think, if I wasn't doing
Speaker 5: this whatever you call this is, I would love to
Speaker 5: do something like art restoration and repair. Very difficult, but
Speaker 5: I think it would be very satisfying.
Speaker 1: That would suit your temperaments, Lucy, I think that's a
Speaker 1: good fit.
Speaker 2: Think about how many audiobooks I could smash through.
Speaker 4: The irony there. And it's funny.
Speaker 1: This is a kind of like it's an unusual scene
Speaker 1: because it's kind of like Griffith basically being like Goods
Speaker 1: need you need you to murder someone? And Goods is like, hey,
Speaker 1: whatever you know, ordered me to do it, don't ask
Speaker 1: me to do it, Like it's it's cool for you anything, Yeah, bro?
Speaker 1: And do you think Goods can read, or do you
Speaker 1: think that he's kind of pretending he can read?
Speaker 4: Because I thought about that. I this scene is presented
Speaker 4: in such a way that it made me think that
Speaker 4: he can't read.
Speaker 3: Because he does the classic I can't read move where
Speaker 3: he opens the book to the middle and then just
Speaker 3: stares at it. Because if you were trying it, if
Speaker 3: you had any indicator, if you had any ability to
Speaker 3: read it, open to the first page.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and like where would Goods unless he learned to
Speaker 1: read in the Band of Hawk, which he maybe means.
Speaker 1: There is no way Gambino taught Goots to.
Speaker 4: Read from what I can gather, Carcus, No, all right,
Speaker 4: we need a caucus teaching Guts how to read. Guts, Guts, Guts,
Speaker 4: sound it out. We talked about this, what's what's this letter?
Speaker 4: And what? And that's not a letter? What's what? Sound now?
Speaker 1: To now?
Speaker 4: Together? Good and pat you on your head.
Speaker 1: You're a good boy.
Speaker 2: Did you see that? Because he came into the back
Speaker 2: and you're like, can we Yeah?
Speaker 4: I don't know why. I don't know why he's like
Speaker 4: treating Guts like his little little illiterate pet.
Speaker 3: But I think we need a full like scene of
Speaker 3: guts and carcus reading like the hungry caterpillar or something
Speaker 3: like that.
Speaker 4: All right, well we'll have to add that in as
Speaker 4: a special fee drop. Yeah, we'll do that.
Speaker 1: So Griffith takes out the arrow and he's like, this
Speaker 1: arrow was coated in expensive poison. It could only have
Speaker 1: been a noble and goods. This kind of kind of
Speaker 1: looks like some of this is going over Goots's head,
Speaker 1: but he's like, okay, sure, whatever, who do I kill?
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: We basically end on a shot of Goots just looking
Speaker 1: like the most badass motherfucker. He's got his like assassination
Speaker 1: robe on. Yeah, he looks like Guts batman. I would
Speaker 1: don't know if I'd send Guts to like assassinate someone,
Speaker 1: because I think it's kind of like basically sending like
Speaker 1: a walking talking fridge to be stealthy.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's I don't know how no one goes. He's
Speaker 3: like the assailant had a nine ft sword.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and just the sickest biceps, Like, holy shit, that
Speaker 1: guy works out.
Speaker 3: We haven't seen him wearing this cloak since the first
Speaker 3: episode where he's walking in the rain slutty tank is.
Speaker 4: But he's nimble he's nimble. He got up to the
Speaker 4: top of that roof looking like Batman, Like he's nimble,
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean he's you know, he definitely got
Speaker 1: to that roof. But yeah, should probably be fine. Nothing
Speaker 1: will probably go wrong. I wanted to ask perfect assassination.
Speaker 1: I've gone flawless. So do you guys watch the next time?
Speaker 4: On?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 1: He Sometimes I would encourage you guys to watch it
Speaker 1: just to hear the fucking performance of the narrator. He
Speaker 1: is giving it eight hundred percent and he's not talking
Speaker 1: about the show. It's like like it'll kind of be
Speaker 1: like kind of man sees his own destiny or is
Speaker 1: it ruined that draws him near and it's just him
Speaker 1: soliloquising for for like forty seconds and just in the
Speaker 1: most like the most dramatic of it's almost a.
Speaker 3: Little high coup about destiny or something like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, always yeah, So it's okay.
Speaker 5: So it's like I didn't want to get spoiled. But
Speaker 5: if it's like an arrested development type.
Speaker 3: Thing, you know, well, you know what, I can read
Speaker 3: it out and you can tell me if this relates to.
Speaker 4: Jesus is Lucy's ring also British.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it alps her feel more at home.
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, maybe we just can only.
Speaker 3: Understand my my SERI is East London, British man.
Speaker 1: That's cool.
Speaker 3: It's very specific. So it just makes me feel like
Speaker 3: I'm chaying to someone from home.
Speaker 1: I have nice to get my like, I don't know
Speaker 1: Google Voice assistant to have a nice voice. I can't,
Speaker 1: I can't do it.
Speaker 2: No, No.
Speaker 3: So the next episode is dreams. Each man has a dream.
Speaker 3: Each man longs to pursue his dream. It tortures him,
Speaker 3: but the dream gives meaning to his life. Even if
Speaker 3: he should end up being destroyed by his own dream,
Speaker 3: No man can allow himself to leave it behind. In
Speaker 3: this world, does the man possess anything more solid than
Speaker 3: a dream? What does that mean? What does there any
Speaker 3: of that means? It kind of does relate a little
Speaker 3: bit to I guess what Griffith says towards the end.
Speaker 4: But yeah, but it's kind of gobbledygook.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean when you're watching that, you just be like, so,
Speaker 3: what's happening in the next episode.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this next episode what's called Nobleman. This is an
Speaker 1: incredible episode. I think I feel like so much happens,
Speaker 1: and they established so much of like Guts and Griffith's
Speaker 1: dynamic and like, you know, a potential problem on the
Speaker 1: horizon certainly.
Speaker 2: Hmm.
Speaker 1: We open up and Guts is midway through assassination and
Speaker 1: then he is kind of he's diving from rooftop to rooftop.
Speaker 1: The real real batman vibes from goods here and he
Speaker 1: happens on a he happens on the courtyard and it's Julie.
Speaker 1: Is his name Julius?
Speaker 3: Yep?
Speaker 4: Yeah, now adding an Adonis now the kids. Yes, I
Speaker 4: thought that's what you're talking because that's who he sees
Speaker 4: in the chore. Oh no, they're fighting, you're right, Yeah,
Speaker 4: they're sparring.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's it's a really interesting scene because like
Speaker 1: that it doesn't make any direct mention of it, but
Speaker 1: it's like this is what Guts used to do with Ambino. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like this this like just have the shit beaten out
Speaker 1: of him by an older dude with a sword and
Speaker 1: he's watching like little Adonas try his best against his dad.
Speaker 1: And I think like the amounts that Adonnas and Julius
Speaker 1: both get fleshed out in this little like six minute
Speaker 1: sequence is yeah, fucking crazy, very good.
Speaker 4: Like it's also like the priest guy who's like add
Speaker 4: some collar there too.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. You find out that like Adonnas's mother is
Speaker 1: dead and that Julius has had to raise him by himself.
Speaker 1: He also has big expectations for Adonnas because not only
Speaker 1: is Donna's going to captain the White Dragon Knights who
Speaker 1: up until the Band of Hawk with the strongest knights,
Speaker 1: Adonnas has a chance at becoming the king if he
Speaker 1: gets betrothed, betrothed to a queen princess Charlotte, And it's
Speaker 1: like you can feel all this weight being placed on
Speaker 1: this kid. But then we also meet this priest character
Speaker 1: who's really like a kind of he's really like a
Speaker 1: kind of the actual father fing he tries to cam
Speaker 1: and you can tell he really cares about Adonnas, the
Speaker 1: priest and he's like, oh, I think that's enough, sire,
Speaker 1: and all this kind of stuff, and I think this
Speaker 1: scene really effectively, Like Julius is still an asshole, but
Speaker 1: you see where some of it's coming from, because the
Speaker 1: reason he's being so territorial over the crown is he
Speaker 1: has this child who, in his own way, he is
Speaker 1: trying to protect and it sucks and he's bad at
Speaker 1: it and he injures his kid and then he like
Speaker 1: drops a towel on his head, and the priest dude
Speaker 1: is like, listen, don't hate your dad. He's he's been
Speaker 1: through a lot, and I think it kind of it
Speaker 1: kind of gives you the feeling that maybe, like, you know,
Speaker 1: this dude has been with his family for years, and
Speaker 1: it's just it's there's a lot of like really important,
Speaker 1: subtle character stuff happening here. And I think my favorite
Speaker 1: part is when we get the scene of like the
Speaker 1: priest and Adonas or the priest's you Ulius, and again
Speaker 1: the priest is like, listen, I think you should ease
Speaker 1: up on the kid, and Julius actually has this moment
Speaker 1: where he's kind of like, oh, fuck, you're right, like
Speaker 1: kind of maybe, yeah, maybe I've overdone it. And that
Speaker 1: is like the most human thing we ever get out
Speaker 1: of this character, and I think it kind of it
Speaker 1: softens them and that makes what comes like only more tragic.
Speaker 4: Yes, agreed.
Speaker 3: He there's also like in that scene, there's also like
Speaker 3: some lines that undo that because he talks about him
Speaker 3: being frustrated at not being competent in the court being
Speaker 3: a big reason. So he's taking out his own frustrations
Speaker 3: on the kid.
Speaker 1: So that undoes that. I think, like he's still an asshole,
Speaker 1: but you can tell there is some attempt to come
Speaker 1: to terms with the fact that he is an asshole.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think he just knows and the priest Assan checks him.
Speaker 3: It's like every now and then, just like you've been
Speaker 3: in an ousehole again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then we get we have a little ballroom
Speaker 1: scene and it's basically Griffith hanging out with all the
Speaker 1: nobles again and a lot of the ladies being like, Griffith,
Speaker 1: you're so fucking cool. And then some of the men
Speaker 1: come up and they're like, Griffith, you're so fucking cool,
Speaker 1: and he's like, it's true, I am. And Princess Charlotte
Speaker 1: comes up and everyone's like, oh, she's even even more
Speaker 1: beautiful than normal. It's that's that's the further they have
Speaker 1: Jeff and they they they comment that maybe she's in love.
Speaker 1: And that is when we cut back to Julius's chamber
Speaker 1: and he is attacked by a hooded guts who just
Speaker 1: murders the guy like there is yea. It is immediate
Speaker 1: and Julius recognizes who he is in his final moments,
Speaker 1: and here is I think we get like one of
Speaker 1: the most I guess, shocking parts of Berserk A Donnis.
Speaker 1: Little a Donnis opens the door, little baby bridges Donnis
Speaker 1: opens the door, and God sees him. He looks at
Speaker 1: him and he's like, that's a kid, and that kid's
Speaker 1: about to give him away, give me away. And he
Speaker 1: runs them through the sword and just fucking murks him
Speaker 1: right there.
Speaker 4: Brutal.
Speaker 1: God goes, oh, like.
Speaker 5: What have I done?
Speaker 2: The immediate remorse, but the fact is he clocked him
Speaker 2: and still did it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he like there was he saw him, there was
Speaker 1: a beat and then he did it. Like this wasn't
Speaker 1: a sad accident. This this at some it's it's like
Speaker 1: he ran the numbers and he was like, if I
Speaker 1: don't kill this kid, then everything Griffith and the Band
Speaker 1: of hawk Art is over. And so he runs them through.
Speaker 1: But then yeah, you just have this moment of like
Speaker 1: he realizes what he's done and he takes the kid's
Speaker 1: hand and he just goes, yeah, I'm I'm here, and
Speaker 1: it's fuck, yeah, I didn't like that. Let's not do that.
Speaker 3: Again, it's so weird because when he kills Julius, he
Speaker 3: looks down at him and he looks like like he's
Speaker 3: showing remorse. Oh, he's like shocked at what's happened before
Speaker 3: he kills the kid. And then he does the same
Speaker 3: thing when he's killed the kid, which is kind of
Speaker 3: weird because he's up until this point been portrayed as
Speaker 3: like a killing machine, like he doesn't really think about it,
Speaker 3: he just does it. So even for someone like Julius,
Speaker 3: it's weird that he's taken aback by what's happened.
Speaker 1: So my read on that is, like, you're right, Tamly,
Speaker 1: he totally is a killing machine. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: whenever he kills someone, it's not like this, you know.
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, it's not like in their chambers them
Speaker 1: without a weapon. It's on the battlefield. It's covered in
Speaker 1: suits of armor. And this feels this feels weird.
Speaker 3: You know, yeah, And I think that's partly the point
Speaker 3: where it's I mean, as we go on into the episode,
Speaker 3: there's a realization that happens at the end of the
Speaker 3: moment end of the episode. I think this is the
Speaker 3: beginning of that where God starts to understand the place
Speaker 3: he holds within the world currently and in Griffith's world totally.
Speaker 1: But you can tell, like the moment really shakes up Guts,
Speaker 1: and I think it's it's done really well in the
Speaker 1: in this anime, but like the moment where he takes
Speaker 1: the kid's hands, the panel of that and the manga
Speaker 1: is really beautiful, like really really well done, and it's
Speaker 1: just it's really it's horrible, Like it's it's kind of like,
Speaker 1: oh shit, like this is this ain't right. But before
Speaker 1: we Guts can even like process it, he's you know,
Speaker 1: attacked by the guards and they chase him out, and
Speaker 1: then there's like another really sad moment with the priest
Speaker 1: dude and he's like Little Adonna's who would do this?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's pretty tough, it's pretty rough.
Speaker 1: We then get a kind of, I guess, kind of
Speaker 1: a nightmare hallucinatory scene where Little Guts kills Gambino, but
Speaker 1: then it kind of turns out that it was Zod
Speaker 1: and it's like, what do you guys make this scene?
Speaker 4: I kind of couldn't really place it because I didn't
Speaker 4: understand like what Zod was doing there.
Speaker 3: Well, I think it's I was gonna say, I think
Speaker 3: it's like a representation of something in his life that
Speaker 3: he feels is insurmountable right now because he's I think,
Speaker 3: like not Fortuzard is the first character or combat and
Speaker 3: he's come up against that as like thoroughly destroyed him,
Speaker 3: and I think it kind of makes him feel like
Speaker 3: he were he felt when he was training against Gambino,
Speaker 3: where he felt like, you know, he's been towered down
Speaker 3: on by this undefeatable figure. Sure, and then it kills
Speaker 3: Ambino like Zod kills the Gambino, which I think is
Speaker 3: kind of like shifting the trauma to another character now,
Speaker 3: and that being No s Faratuz.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he gets hit with an arrow and is having
Speaker 1: a lot of trouble, and that is when basically everyone's
Speaker 1: in the We cut to the band of Hawk in
Speaker 1: the pub.
Speaker 3: One thing in that scene, the No Feratud scene, there's
Speaker 3: a moment where his hand he puts like it looks
Speaker 3: like is putting his hand on his own face and
Speaker 3: then it flashes into another face.
Speaker 1: Looks like a little bits.
Speaker 3: It's important. That's an important frame, very very important frame.
Speaker 1: It's like guts, I guess, becoming like that kind of
Speaker 1: be steel Monster, like in there's this team in like
Speaker 1: Berserk and like we'll see it more later, where actually
Speaker 1: we won't see it more later because the character. The
Speaker 1: character is so fucked up they didn't want to put
Speaker 1: him in the anime. But I guess it's this idea
Speaker 1: of like the man becoming the beast and like like
Speaker 1: giving into the worst, most violent, angry parts yourself. And
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of that's kind of what they're
Speaker 1: going going for with this. We cut to a pub
Speaker 1: and the band of hawk or drinking, and I kind
Speaker 1: of maybe I missed something at the start of this.
Speaker 1: They're kind of upset that Guts isn't here, Yeah, and
Speaker 1: somehow that's got them in trouble. I think.
Speaker 5: The fact that they've already lost Griffith to the gentry, right,
Speaker 5: and so I think Guts is like the next best
Speaker 5: in terms of being a capable leader, like who would
Speaker 5: kind of fill that hole. Like Caska has a lot
Speaker 5: of respect from them, don't get me wrong, but like
Speaker 5: the way that they kind of fawn over Guts is Yeah,
Speaker 5: maybe they just feel abandoned by him a bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, and and Okay, I just listened to
Speaker 1: it there, and what Caska says is that Gots slacked
Speaker 1: off the drills today.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why she's mad with him. But I think
Speaker 2: the rest of them just.
Speaker 1: Want to hang out with him. Yeah, totally. And you
Speaker 1: know what, maybe her too a little bit.
Speaker 4: Who knows.
Speaker 1: So she basically she approaches Goods and then is like
Speaker 1: ready to give him hell. And then immediately when she
Speaker 1: sees that like something's wrong and he's a little fucked up,
Speaker 1: she kind of she immediately switches like she's immediately like, wait,
Speaker 1: what is this?
Speaker 4: You're hurt?
Speaker 1: Yeah, And so she follows him and he makes his
Speaker 1: way to like a huge fountain and it's there he
Speaker 1: sees Griffith and Charlotte, And I love everything about like
Speaker 1: the staging of this scene. I think it says so
Speaker 1: much about berserk and so much about like the dynamic
Speaker 1: between them of guts. Like at the bottom of the
Speaker 1: stairs and he's like kind of covered in shadow and
Speaker 1: he's looking up at Griffith and it's kind of it's
Speaker 1: just some really fantastic visual storytelling, and Caska's kind of
Speaker 1: holding him back and she's like that's She's basically like,
Speaker 1: that's not our world. You can't Griffith right now when
Speaker 1: he's with the princess, See, can't you tell? Look how
Speaker 1: high up they are. That's that's above our head. What
Speaker 1: are we meant to do? Go all the way up
Speaker 1: there stairs? Yeah?
Speaker 4: You crazy?
Speaker 1: And there's a really sweet moment where Caska tears the
Speaker 1: arm off her the sleeve of a thing and then
Speaker 1: wraps it around Guts is Yeah, that was cool. How
Speaker 1: you guys feeling about Guts and Caska at this point?
Speaker 4: I think this I think these two episodes has changed
Speaker 4: their dynamic just a smidge. I think Caska now finds
Speaker 4: a little bit more camaraderie with Guts now that Griffith
Speaker 4: is sort of like, is one step away from being
Speaker 4: a straight up, you know, noble person, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, I'm saying.
Speaker 2: And so.
Speaker 1: Griffith basically enters a giant monologue about dreams, and he
Speaker 1: talks about how dreams are the most powerful things on
Speaker 1: the planet. A dream can control the world. But then
Speaker 1: he also goes into the spiel about like no one
Speaker 1: could ever be his friend unless they have their own dream, just.
Speaker 4: Like, okay, buddy, and Griffith, do you want me to
Speaker 4: hate you? By the end, of this episode. What are
Speaker 4: we trying to do here, Bud? I can't be friends
Speaker 4: with people who like can't dream? What's that about?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so unusual for them to be anything dislikable
Speaker 1: a bit Griffith, But I think we found the one spot, one,
Speaker 1: the one thing, the one blemish.
Speaker 4: Beautiful guys, even when you play these when you play
Speaker 4: these games, don't play these games with me. Okay, yeah, look,
Speaker 4: we're just talking about We're just talking about our friend Griffith.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yep, well I will.
Speaker 4: I will continue to suspend my disbelief about our boy
Speaker 4: here and see what happens. I don't think I do.
Speaker 5: I just like.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 4: He's just kind of crucial and uh he's he's a
Speaker 4: sneaky little bitch. We'll see, we'll see what happens here.
Speaker 1: Like I think at the end, He's say, Griffith is compelling, right,
Speaker 1: Like there are no boring scenes with Griffith. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: he's always the present thing, he's always worked, and like
Speaker 1: that's how he's meant to feel in it as well.
Speaker 4: Like he's a slippery, He's a slippery ship. You know,
Speaker 4: he's a slippery you know, he's sort of is doing
Speaker 4: like a fun thing on the fountain where he like
Speaker 4: he like jumps up, but he like effortlessly jumps up
Speaker 4: in a way that he looks like he's sort of covering.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, no, no, no he's not.
Speaker 1: He's wearing just like normal. It's just didn't No, he's
Speaker 1: just in his noble noble.
Speaker 2: And he's just sort of like like his noble like
Speaker 2: light armor, a.
Speaker 4: Lot of frills, Lucy, he's his business casual right now,
Speaker 4: and he just like levitates up on the fountain in
Speaker 4: a funny way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, very regal. He also says that he dreams
Speaker 3: or people dream of ruling the world.
Speaker 1: Which is like do they and also says, like ruling
Speaker 1: the world what a fucking pain?
Speaker 2: The worst I was confusing him with the next scene
Speaker 2: where he is back in his armor.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And also he also says importantly, no one in
Speaker 3: the band of Hawk is his friend.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because his friend would have to have their own dream.
Speaker 1: And yet like a sound cute and quick to goods
Speaker 1: face and he looks devastated, like Jesus Christ.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 4: The thing that is weird here is just the geography
Speaker 4: of the scene where like he's close enough that he
Speaker 4: hears every last thing he's saying, but it's also unseen
Speaker 4: by uh, what's their name in Griffith Charlotte, and I'm like, okay, Charlotte, Charlayne,
Speaker 4: and Charlene call her Charlene for the rest of the whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's fine. You know, he's devastated. And then they literally
Speaker 4: show like a screen grab, like a drawing where he's
Speaker 4: just they like eliminate the stairs and it's just a
Speaker 4: height thing and like Griffith is floating in the in
Speaker 4: the ether and Guts is sort of on the ground level,
Speaker 4: which is pretty on the nose for this scene.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love it. I think it's it's just yeah,
Speaker 1: it's great.
Speaker 4: It's good. Good, it's good stuff. It's a good show.
Speaker 4: You guys, thanks for showing me Berserk great.
Speaker 1: If I can't tell you of how valued the opinion
Speaker 1: that Berserk is good. Yeah, I mean, did you let
Speaker 1: me only really swinging for the fences here?
Speaker 4: Let me ask you, this.
Speaker 3: Is finally confirmed good.
Speaker 4: Did you think I would like it?
Speaker 1: I honestly didn't know, because I feel like I also
Speaker 1: didn't know. Yeah, I thought because.
Speaker 3: It's a change of pace.
Speaker 1: Wow, you're all just all over the place.
Speaker 5: Well, because I think it's very important for you to
Speaker 5: see it and know about it, right, But at the
Speaker 5: end of the day, it's a It's one of those
Speaker 5: things that you recommend to people, but you kind of
Speaker 5: have to say, hey, what are content warnings in here?
Speaker 5: You kind of sometimes have to really be in the
Speaker 5: place to be experiencing this story.
Speaker 3: And I like this.
Speaker 2: I've never seen the animes. I don't know how much
Speaker 2: of it they do.
Speaker 4: It's it's not my favorite genre obviously I hate I
Speaker 4: don't hate it. I just I don't seek out this theme.
Speaker 4: But good storytelling transcends all, you know. Total.
Speaker 1: I think Jeff, like where I was kind of worried
Speaker 1: that maybe you wouldn't get as much out of it
Speaker 1: is that I always felt like I feel like I
Speaker 1: was correct in predicting how much you would like Cowboy Bebup.
Speaker 1: I think what I got wrong was the specific things
Speaker 1: you would like about it, because I think a lot
Speaker 1: of the more kind of slow paced or sorrowful scenes
Speaker 1: seemed to be stuff that didn't really resonate with you
Speaker 1: as much. Yeah, and I was a bit worried going
Speaker 1: into Berserk that that would be the case here as well.
Speaker 4: Oh, interesting Okay, I gotcha. Yeah, well it worked out
Speaker 4: your your four for four.
Speaker 1: Yeah you liked one punch man.
Speaker 4: Come on, who's not liking that? Come on, that's fun
Speaker 4: for the whole family.
Speaker 1: But yeah, you can tell us something about this thing
Speaker 1: that Griffith says is like just punches a whole right
Speaker 1: through goots and after he just.
Speaker 2: Fucking murdered a guy and his kid for him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's it's brutal. And then we get this scene.
Speaker 1: I fucking love this scene. It's the egg Noble and Griffith,
Speaker 1: just the ships their little fucking yep.
Speaker 3: I like calling him noble because means dishonorable, which is
Speaker 3: works for him.
Speaker 1: Hey, I'll take it a sparring match between these two.
Speaker 1: This is like a battle, but just with words. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And it's like it's it's like him trying to pull
Speaker 1: something out of Griffith or get some little reaction because
Speaker 1: he knows that Griffith is the one responsible for Julius's death,
Speaker 1: and so he's he's he's like, hmmm, quite curious to
Speaker 1: death of that Julius.
Speaker 4: And I wouldn't have anything to do with that, would you.
Speaker 1: It's it's really I think it's really well done, because
Speaker 1: one of those things. For like, neither of them are
Speaker 1: talking about the actual thing they both want to know,
Speaker 1: but they're both talking about all these things that are
Speaker 1: adjacent to it. And see who slips up first.
Speaker 2: I mean, this is the most Game of Thrones as scene,
Speaker 2: oh totally.
Speaker 3: You know, also makes it funny for the vast majority
Speaker 3: of it. They're both standing in front of each other
Speaker 3: with their eyes closed, so no one can really tell
Speaker 3: what the other person is doing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Varis always speaks with his eyes closed.
Speaker 3: Eventually, Griffith does open his eyes and look, Butnoble his
Speaker 3: eyes closed the entire time.
Speaker 4: And.
Speaker 1: Like, you know, it's a foot exchange. It's kind of like, Okay,
Speaker 1: these two are really kind of spar and and then
Speaker 1: Griffith walks away and egg Noble kind of gives them
Speaker 1: the like one eye closed. They're like kind of looking
Speaker 1: at him, be.
Speaker 4: Like, m well, because he has a bit of a
Speaker 4: panic exack.
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, because he thinks about what not quite yet, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right. And then a second later he goes and
Speaker 1: Griffith is standing across the hall looking back at him
Speaker 1: with just the most murderous look you could possibly imagine.
Speaker 1: Holy shit, Lucy and hard stare moments.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yep, I'm much Paddington before we next record.
Speaker 4: I love I love that, like they meet and then
Speaker 4: when they show the egg guy, he's just like quivering,
Speaker 4: He's like, you know, partulably, they're like fifty feet apart. Yeah, right,
Speaker 4: and then I just love Griffin's like that'll be all.
Speaker 1: And just like.
Speaker 2: He knows he's one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's it. What a show does? I think that
Speaker 4: means that he's cooked now, right, like he's next on
Speaker 4: the hit list. Yeah, yeah, he's gonna.
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess we'll see. I guess we'll see.
Speaker 2: I didn't realize Oh no, sar, no, no, no, my
Speaker 2: thing is a non sequence, so Karen.
Speaker 1: Oh, I was just gonna say, we get one final
Speaker 1: shot OF's holding his sword and think what Griffith says, put.
Speaker 4: The boner sword just piercing clouds. This thing. I just
Speaker 4: it's so insane. This pan up. It takes fourteen seconds
Speaker 4: for them to pan all the way to the tip
Speaker 4: of the sword here.
Speaker 1: I just feel like, I don't understand how long the
Speaker 1: sword is, Jeff, how long and hard it is. And
Speaker 1: I think we know, I get it.
Speaker 4: I get it. I would use that thing to do.
Speaker 4: I would I would like pierce food from across the
Speaker 4: table with it. It would it would be an extension
Speaker 4: of me. Yeah, you know, what were you going to say, Lucy?
Speaker 2: So I didn't realize they didn't do Puck like at all.
Speaker 4: Uh, Puck.
Speaker 3: Puck wouldn't be Yeah, he would be.
Speaker 5: Like in the very beginning of the whole series, and
Speaker 5: I guess they just don't converge with him later.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think they compressed too much of the first episode too.
Speaker 1: I bet I wouldn't be surprised if there's like a
Speaker 1: moment or two he's in it. But no, they don't
Speaker 1: do the tiny naked flying fairy.
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, because it's this one thing that backlaw,
Speaker 5: I would love to see his reaction.
Speaker 2: It is fucking Puck.
Speaker 1: It's fine. So in the Goots, Gouts is constantly followed
Speaker 1: around by a tiny, little joyous fairy who's all who's
Speaker 1: constantly like everything's great.
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh my god, that's a pretty that's a pretty large.
Speaker 1: We're not getting it in the Golden Age arc. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're watching. But he was in the first episode. He
Speaker 1: was meant to be in the first episode.
Speaker 4: Is Puck is Puck. That's the fairy's name, Puck ye put? Yeah,
Speaker 4: what do you you all slept on that for?
Speaker 2: Like I'm sorry for five episodes?
Speaker 1: Is that is it meant to be his like inner
Speaker 1: monologue or you know, he's an actual fairy who follows
Speaker 1: got surrounds?
Speaker 4: Okay, got it?
Speaker 5: Ye?
Speaker 3: Oh my god?
Speaker 2: Oh times doctor picture like Shrek is as I was.
Speaker 4: Going to say, that's not what I'm aware of.
Speaker 3: This is, Yeah, I like, I don't. I find I
Speaker 3: found annoying until there's going to be another name that
Speaker 3: Jeff is just going to go until like your Cidareo
Speaker 3: Jones and stuff like that, and then there's more of
Speaker 3: a balance between the different people. But I don't believe
Speaker 3: we get that far in the enemy in in like
Speaker 3: actually to talk about this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And for a long time on the Internet, there
Speaker 1: was this kind of idea that Berserk was a masterpiece
Speaker 1: except for Puck and that was the one flaw. But
Speaker 1: I think a lot of that opinion was kind of
Speaker 1: coming from like the edgy boys who like Berserk because
Speaker 1: it was so fucked up, bro, and not people who
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, we're appreciating many of the
Speaker 1: kind of wonderful things about Berserk. Yeah, so yeah, two
Speaker 1: really strong episodes. Yep, very very Ah how many I
Speaker 1: left out another episode? I think fourteen sixteen?
Speaker 3: Maybe, Yeah, we still got a little bit to go.
Speaker 1: We do, we do? And oh boy, are we going
Speaker 1: to go places? Oh?
Speaker 2: The places will go?
Speaker 4: Here we go. It's okay, I'm looking forward. I'm excited.
