00:00:10,890 --> 00:00:11,140
Greetings

3
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,920
nerds. This is Scene N Nerd. I'm your host, Sarah Belmont, and with me, as

4
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,760
always, is our Mr. Producer, Will Polk How are you doing tonight,

5
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:20,080
Will?

6
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,720
>> Will: Doing very well, Sarah How you doing this evening?

7
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:24,000
>> Sarah : I'm doing good.

8
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:25,600
>> Will: That's good.

9
00:00:26,740 --> 00:00:28,940
>> Sarah : Yeah. So.

10
00:00:28,940 --> 00:00:30,180
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah.

11
00:00:31,220 --> 00:00:33,380
>> Sarah : So I'm, like, going through

12
00:00:34,500 --> 00:00:36,660
a, lot of TV show binges right now.

13
00:00:36,980 --> 00:00:37,700
>> Will: Oh, cool.

14
00:00:38,330 --> 00:00:41,289
>> Sarah : so I don't know if you've heard about this show. It's

15
00:00:41,289 --> 00:00:43,770
not a Will show. It's definitely more my lane.

16
00:00:44,330 --> 00:00:47,160
but on Amazon prime, there's a show, this new

17
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:48,690
show called, Motorheads.

18
00:00:49,980 --> 00:00:50,220
>> Will: No.

19
00:00:51,020 --> 00:00:53,900
>> Sarah : Yeah, it's with Ryan Philippe. He's like the notable

20
00:00:53,900 --> 00:00:56,790
actor in it. and it's

21
00:00:56,790 --> 00:00:59,470
kind of a. A teen.

22
00:00:59,630 --> 00:01:02,270
It's. Yes, it is a teen drama.

23
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,560
and. But they, they. It's

24
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,400
about a town and some history, and

25
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,280
a lot of the adults of

26
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,290
these kids, are

27
00:01:15,290 --> 00:01:17,930
wrapped up in a. Somewhat of a mystery

28
00:01:18,170 --> 00:01:21,010
from when they were children. And so you

29
00:01:21,010 --> 00:01:23,890
have. They. They do a good job, I have to

30
00:01:23,890 --> 00:01:26,650
say, of the writers of paralleling the.

31
00:01:26,810 --> 00:01:29,769
The present and like, that idea that history

32
00:01:29,770 --> 00:01:32,750
repeats. and,

33
00:01:33,030 --> 00:01:36,000
I kept, like, this has probably been out for a

34
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,920
month now, if not maybe three weeks. And

35
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,560
it. They released all of the episodes at once. It's 10

36
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,440
episodes, about an hour each episode. So it was.

37
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,280
It was fairly long. And. And I was good. I didn't

38
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,680
binge it. Oh. Like,

39
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,720
Like. Well, you know, I had some stuff come up

40
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,440
last week, so I didn't like straight binge, but

41
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,810
I did, get through it within a week.

42
00:01:58,250 --> 00:02:01,010
because everyone kept saying the ending was

43
00:02:01,010 --> 00:02:03,370
really good. And I'm gonna,

44
00:02:04,239 --> 00:02:05,359
I'm gonna say this.

45
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,719
>> Will: Should I put a spoiler alert warning up or.

46
00:02:12,719 --> 00:02:15,039
>> Sarah : I haven't decided yet. I haven't decided yet.

47
00:02:15,350 --> 00:02:18,269
so I just. I

48
00:02:18,269 --> 00:02:20,950
just. I. I did not see it coming. I did

49
00:02:20,950 --> 00:02:23,881
laugh when it happened. it is a good ending,

50
00:02:23,881 --> 00:02:26,481
but at the same time, I'm just like. That got

51
00:02:26,481 --> 00:02:29,361
dark. That was

52
00:02:29,361 --> 00:02:31,241
a bit excessive.

53
00:02:32,041 --> 00:02:34,682
So I don't know. But.

54
00:02:35,002 --> 00:02:38,002
But yeah, I, I can see why there was a lot of talk about

55
00:02:38,002 --> 00:02:40,362
it, and I'm glad I wasn't spoiled or anything.

56
00:02:40,812 --> 00:02:43,592
it was decent and I, I do hope it. I do

57
00:02:43,592 --> 00:02:46,472
hope, and I think it will be getting a season two

58
00:02:46,472 --> 00:02:49,352
for sure. especially since, Man,

59
00:02:49,352 --> 00:02:51,912
I'm blanking on. The Summer I Turned Pretty

60
00:02:52,472 --> 00:02:54,952
is wrapping up its series

61
00:02:55,352 --> 00:02:58,262
this year. So Motorheads

62
00:02:58,262 --> 00:03:01,222
will be like the Amazon's continued

63
00:03:01,302 --> 00:03:04,262
teen drama. So,

64
00:03:04,422 --> 00:03:07,312
like, as a replacement makes sense. and, I mean,

65
00:03:07,312 --> 00:03:10,112
there are Plenty of female characters in that show,

66
00:03:10,112 --> 00:03:12,992
too. It's not completely a male driven. I

67
00:03:12,992 --> 00:03:15,952
mean, the. The leads are technically two

68
00:03:15,952 --> 00:03:18,952
twins. Even though they look. They arguably

69
00:03:18,952 --> 00:03:21,512
don't look alike. Bother me.

70
00:03:23,032 --> 00:03:24,392
Like, you could get some.

71
00:03:24,472 --> 00:03:27,152
>> Will: So where is. Or are they supposed to be

72
00:03:27,152 --> 00:03:28,632
identical twins or this?

73
00:03:29,192 --> 00:03:32,112
>> Sarah : I mean, once a boy, one's a girl. You can't get too identical with

74
00:03:32,112 --> 00:03:34,872
that, of course. But I was

75
00:03:34,872 --> 00:03:37,592
also just like, can we get like

76
00:03:38,552 --> 00:03:40,872
some sim. Like, there should be some

77
00:03:40,872 --> 00:03:43,592
features that are. Are similar.

78
00:03:43,752 --> 00:03:45,592
And to me, I was just like,

79
00:03:47,592 --> 00:03:50,542
but. But, I can tell

80
00:03:50,542 --> 00:03:53,082
why they got casted in the sense.

81
00:03:53,402 --> 00:03:55,622
So, so I did that and then,

82
00:03:57,592 --> 00:04:00,552
unknowingly, because I was on the fence about

83
00:04:00,632 --> 00:04:03,402
starting it at all. I, I

84
00:04:03,402 --> 00:04:04,762
binged this weekend,

85
00:04:06,262 --> 00:04:07,952
Ginny and Georgia, season three.

86
00:04:08,672 --> 00:04:09,312
>> Will: Okay.

87
00:04:09,392 --> 00:04:12,192
>> Sarah : And I think it was sometime last year

88
00:04:12,192 --> 00:04:15,152
when I binged the first two seasons. I was late to this

89
00:04:15,152 --> 00:04:17,862
show that the. The third

90
00:04:17,862 --> 00:04:19,742
season is the best season so far.

91
00:04:20,562 --> 00:04:22,002
and I,

92
00:04:24,082 --> 00:04:26,482
I just want to say, if anybody watches the show,

93
00:04:27,042 --> 00:04:29,042
what you're hearing about Max is actually

94
00:04:29,442 --> 00:04:32,402
absolutely correct. Maxine deserved better.

95
00:04:35,522 --> 00:04:38,242
I just, I don't. I was thinking, I was

96
00:04:38,242 --> 00:04:41,122
watching this the whole time, and I was just like,

97
00:04:41,122 --> 00:04:44,012
thinking to myself, what did she do something

98
00:04:44,012 --> 00:04:45,332
to piss off the writers?

99
00:04:47,412 --> 00:04:49,332
Because out of nowhere,

100
00:04:50,372 --> 00:04:53,212
like, like she's, quote unquote,

101
00:04:53,212 --> 00:04:56,172
Jenny's best friend. And for the two seasons,

102
00:04:56,172 --> 00:04:58,852
and arguably throughout this, this season,

103
00:04:59,012 --> 00:05:01,972
you see that. You see, like, her undying.

104
00:05:02,052 --> 00:05:04,772
And boy, was Ginny just,

105
00:05:04,772 --> 00:05:07,612
like, basically told her, we're not that close

106
00:05:07,612 --> 00:05:10,282
anymore. It's like, okay, I'm

107
00:05:10,282 --> 00:05:13,162
confused. I. I just. I

108
00:05:13,162 --> 00:05:16,162
think a lot of viewers are leaving this season like

109
00:05:16,162 --> 00:05:19,042
a team Jenny. And

110
00:05:19,522 --> 00:05:22,362
spoiler alert, it's Joe's baby. Okay?

111
00:05:22,362 --> 00:05:25,242
I don't want to hear any of this nonsense about it

112
00:05:25,242 --> 00:05:28,122
being the mayor's baby, okay? It's Joe's

113
00:05:28,122 --> 00:05:30,162
baby. And if they don't do that, then

114
00:05:32,002 --> 00:05:33,922
they want to stretch out the series.

115
00:05:38,002 --> 00:05:40,402
We know Joe's end game, so whatever.

116
00:05:41,112 --> 00:05:44,032
Anyway, so we've been doing that. But on top of this, on top

117
00:05:44,032 --> 00:05:46,912
of all this, Will, like, I. I'm telling

118
00:05:46,912 --> 00:05:48,632
you, I'm going through binges right now.

119
00:05:49,032 --> 00:05:50,482
>> Will: I, hear it sounds like it.

120
00:05:50,802 --> 00:05:51,162
>> Sarah : Yeah.

121
00:05:51,162 --> 00:05:53,122
>> Will: I have nothing. Yeah.

122
00:05:53,122 --> 00:05:56,122
>> Sarah : I finally have found this

123
00:05:56,122 --> 00:05:58,962
seer, a very decent. And

124
00:05:58,962 --> 00:06:01,642
I'm knocking on wood because I don't want to jinx it. K

125
00:06:01,642 --> 00:06:04,092
Drama, called An Unknown

126
00:06:04,412 --> 00:06:07,272
or Our Unknown Soul on

127
00:06:07,272 --> 00:06:10,112
Netflix. And I

128
00:06:10,112 --> 00:06:12,352
like it because it is

129
00:06:12,672 --> 00:06:15,072
basically two twin girls,

130
00:06:15,872 --> 00:06:18,592
women. I mean, they're in their 20s, their

131
00:06:18,592 --> 00:06:20,352
later 20s, so they're women,

132
00:06:21,392 --> 00:06:23,712
the identical, identical twins,

133
00:06:24,062 --> 00:06:26,142
basically played by the same matrix. I mean,

134
00:06:27,342 --> 00:06:30,062
they switch places because, because

135
00:06:30,382 --> 00:06:32,302
both of them have their own different

136
00:06:33,262 --> 00:06:36,102
struggles and it's just following this

137
00:06:36,102 --> 00:06:38,942
year of them switching, having swapped places

138
00:06:38,942 --> 00:06:41,632
and places for, reasons

139
00:06:41,712 --> 00:06:44,632
and, and then it flashes back to their childhood

140
00:06:44,632 --> 00:06:47,632
because there's some drama back then. And so I

141
00:06:47,632 --> 00:06:50,272
just, I'm really enjoying

142
00:06:50,752 --> 00:06:53,612
the, the

143
00:06:53,612 --> 00:06:56,332
parallels between past and present. And

144
00:06:56,332 --> 00:06:58,652
also the actress is doing a pretty good job

145
00:06:58,972 --> 00:07:01,702
because I

146
00:07:01,702 --> 00:07:04,702
can tell who is who. I

147
00:07:04,702 --> 00:07:07,142
mean, I know who switched places, of course,

148
00:07:07,862 --> 00:07:10,462
but in the past it's

149
00:07:10,462 --> 00:07:13,302
harder because they haven't swapped places, but

150
00:07:13,302 --> 00:07:15,782
I can tell who is who

151
00:07:16,102 --> 00:07:19,102
based off of little nuances. And it's not played by

152
00:07:19,102 --> 00:07:21,862
the same actress, thank God they didn't do

153
00:07:21,862 --> 00:07:24,492
that. it's played by a different

154
00:07:24,492 --> 00:07:27,342
actress. And. And

155
00:07:27,422 --> 00:07:29,662
yet I, I do feel like

156
00:07:30,702 --> 00:07:33,702
both present and past, the actresses do

157
00:07:33,702 --> 00:07:36,182
a good job about subtle

158
00:07:36,182 --> 00:07:38,942
nuances between these two

159
00:07:38,942 --> 00:07:41,662
twins because the characters themselves are

160
00:07:41,662 --> 00:07:44,662
different. So it's, it's really

161
00:07:44,662 --> 00:07:47,222
interesting. And, and there are a few

162
00:07:47,222 --> 00:07:50,222
characters who can tell them apart and then there's a

163
00:07:50,222 --> 00:07:52,992
few characters who can't. So it's, Yeah,

164
00:07:52,992 --> 00:07:55,952
I, I don't know. I really like it. And then on top

165
00:07:55,952 --> 00:07:58,872
of that, I'm taking my time with that one.

166
00:07:59,512 --> 00:07:59,992
>> Will: Okay.

167
00:07:59,992 --> 00:08:02,982
>> Sarah : But, I'm. I have it on my back burner because I

168
00:08:02,982 --> 00:08:05,862
keep hearing about it and from what I've seen, it looks really

169
00:08:05,862 --> 00:08:08,742
good. But I'm going to definitely be

170
00:08:08,742 --> 00:08:11,702
checking out, Good Boy, which is another K

171
00:08:11,702 --> 00:08:14,502
drama, but it's on Amazon prime starring

172
00:08:14,502 --> 00:08:16,482
Park Bo Gum who.

173
00:08:17,442 --> 00:08:20,162
And, and so. And I'm looking forward to that because

174
00:08:20,162 --> 00:08:23,042
it's. From what I understand, it's

175
00:08:23,042 --> 00:08:25,282
about some ex athletes

176
00:08:25,682 --> 00:08:28,162
who somewhat

177
00:08:28,322 --> 00:08:30,882
find themselves in the police

178
00:08:33,762 --> 00:08:36,722
and it's just like they're dealing with this

179
00:08:37,282 --> 00:08:39,682
not good enough type mentality.

180
00:08:40,162 --> 00:08:41,682
I don't know. But

181
00:08:43,372 --> 00:08:46,202
I, Like I said, I've yet to watch a single minute of it. I've only

182
00:08:46,202 --> 00:08:49,002
seen a few, few different things that has me

183
00:08:49,002 --> 00:08:51,562
like put it on the list. And hey, for all I know

184
00:08:52,042 --> 00:08:54,882
it could be a no go after the first

185
00:08:54,882 --> 00:08:57,642
episode because we all know how many times that

186
00:08:57,642 --> 00:09:00,122
happens to me specifically with K

187
00:09:00,122 --> 00:09:01,242
dramas. So.

188
00:09:01,802 --> 00:09:02,362
>> Will: Yep.

189
00:09:02,662 --> 00:09:05,582
>> Sarah : so yeah, I've just been going through a lot of

190
00:09:05,582 --> 00:09:08,582
binges about like, I felt

191
00:09:08,582 --> 00:09:11,382
like arguably it was a

192
00:09:11,382 --> 00:09:12,782
slow start of the year.

193
00:09:13,342 --> 00:09:13,902
>> Will: Yeah.

194
00:09:14,062 --> 00:09:16,782
>> Sarah : And June, I wasn't expecting this much

195
00:09:16,782 --> 00:09:19,582
content, but. But

196
00:09:19,582 --> 00:09:22,342
I just like one thing after another after

197
00:09:22,342 --> 00:09:23,422
another, so.

198
00:09:23,981 --> 00:09:26,662
>> Will: That's awesome. Yeah. Yeah, I know, I know you

199
00:09:26,662 --> 00:09:29,432
haven't I know we haven't had. We haven't done the what are we watching

200
00:09:29,432 --> 00:09:32,312
Segment in a while. Because. Yeah, you're right. I mean, you. You.

201
00:09:32,312 --> 00:09:34,732
You really early. You know, we had a

202
00:09:34,892 --> 00:09:37,772
regular rotation, but nothing really was striking your

203
00:09:37,772 --> 00:09:40,642
fancy as far as, the checkout. But now it sounds

204
00:09:40,642 --> 00:09:42,552
like, Sounds like you have like, gotten several.

205
00:09:44,472 --> 00:09:47,352
Finished several things and got. Got a couple things in the

206
00:09:47,352 --> 00:09:50,302
queue that, that will carry you forward for. For

207
00:09:50,302 --> 00:09:52,262
the rest of the month and then some.

208
00:09:52,262 --> 00:09:55,262
>> Sarah : Or. Or I will just. Now that I've spoken it out into

209
00:09:55,262 --> 00:09:57,982
the universe, it. I will just, like, put it off.

210
00:10:05,502 --> 00:10:08,262
do I. Do I want to? So, I

211
00:10:08,262 --> 00:10:11,222
mean, because I could have. I could have started Good Boy this

212
00:10:11,222 --> 00:10:14,062
weekend. I could have continued on. Like,

213
00:10:14,062 --> 00:10:16,702
I'm behind technically with Unknown Soul, but

214
00:10:17,581 --> 00:10:20,262
there's something about the difference

215
00:10:20,262 --> 00:10:21,822
between starting a new show.

216
00:10:22,382 --> 00:10:22,822
>> Will: Yeah.

217
00:10:22,822 --> 00:10:25,182
>> Sarah : And then going on, like, with

218
00:10:25,742 --> 00:10:28,242
Jenny and Georgia. I. I'm in season three,

219
00:10:28,562 --> 00:10:30,242
so I'm like, I know what I'm gonna get,

220
00:10:32,402 --> 00:10:35,282
and. And I can play it on the background. Like, I know how

221
00:10:35,282 --> 00:10:37,602
I am. Like, I know it's gonna be a binge.

222
00:10:38,002 --> 00:10:40,802
It's gonna be plain. I'm gonna be able to do other things.

223
00:10:41,522 --> 00:10:42,002
>> Will: Yeah.

224
00:10:42,002 --> 00:10:45,002
>> Sarah : Me dramas. That's one. Also. Also another thing. Because I

225
00:10:45,002 --> 00:10:47,642
don't speak the language, I have to be paying

226
00:10:47,642 --> 00:10:48,082
attention.

227
00:10:50,402 --> 00:10:51,442
It's very hard.

228
00:10:52,242 --> 00:10:54,402
>> Will: Yeah. There is that little thing. Yeah. Subtitles.

229
00:10:55,122 --> 00:10:57,362
>> Sarah : Yeah. Yeah. And then it's like, o.

230
00:10:58,152 --> 00:11:00,992
Do the, The, the.

231
00:11:01,232 --> 00:11:03,632
The dubbed. And it's like, no, no, no,

232
00:11:04,192 --> 00:11:05,152
I can't do that.

233
00:11:05,392 --> 00:11:07,552
>> Will: I can't do that. No, no, I can't.

234
00:11:09,632 --> 00:11:12,352
No, it just. It just messes it up. I remember I was watching

235
00:11:12,352 --> 00:11:15,342
Lupin and, And I think maybe to see

236
00:11:15,342 --> 00:11:18,102
the first season and. And I was

237
00:11:18,102 --> 00:11:20,382
like, put on. I put on the dub version

238
00:11:21,352 --> 00:11:24,152
and then I was like, oh, hell no. Let's go back to the French. I mean, yeah,

239
00:11:24,152 --> 00:11:27,002
because it's just. And it seemed like, speaking of benches,

240
00:11:27,002 --> 00:11:28,962
finally. We finally got back to. Because

241
00:11:29,762 --> 00:11:32,722
of the studio. I went back and started watching, as I

242
00:11:32,722 --> 00:11:35,152
mentioned it last week, called my agent, the,

243
00:11:35,872 --> 00:11:38,602
French, drama. It's also on Netflix and

244
00:11:38,602 --> 00:11:41,402
has spun off. And so I started watching,

245
00:11:42,392 --> 00:11:45,272
again this past weekend and just like, you know, this is such a good.

246
00:11:45,272 --> 00:11:47,432
This is such a good show. And but to your point,

247
00:11:48,282 --> 00:11:51,082
speaking of languages and stuff, I was like, oh, yeah, but I always just watch it in the

248
00:11:51,082 --> 00:11:53,082
original French and just have the subtitles.

249
00:11:53,802 --> 00:11:56,752
>> Sarah : Yeah. Yeah. the only

250
00:11:56,832 --> 00:11:59,192
show I've ever watched with

251
00:11:59,192 --> 00:12:01,392
dubbed Happened last year

252
00:12:02,112 --> 00:12:05,072
when I randomly, on Amazon, put on

253
00:12:05,072 --> 00:12:07,952
Maxton hall, because I kept hearing about it,

254
00:12:08,432 --> 00:12:10,352
but I didn't know it was foreign language.

255
00:12:11,312 --> 00:12:12,592
So for whatever reason,

256
00:12:14,052 --> 00:12:17,012
completely by accident, my Amazon prime knew

257
00:12:17,012 --> 00:12:20,012
I didn't speak German, or. I'm sorry. I'm sorry if

258
00:12:20,012 --> 00:12:22,852
it's Dutch. I'm not. I'm technically. Not really sure.

259
00:12:22,852 --> 00:12:25,092
I'm pretty sure German, but I could be wrong.

260
00:12:25,552 --> 00:12:28,402
so. Or watch. It's probably some other. It's.

261
00:12:28,402 --> 00:12:31,202
It's definitely. It's definitely not English

262
00:12:32,242 --> 00:12:35,122
and it's not British, but it is over there

263
00:12:35,122 --> 00:12:37,842
in Europe. Okay. Yeah, okay. But

264
00:12:37,842 --> 00:12:40,012
I. For. For whatever reason,

265
00:12:40,732 --> 00:12:43,572
like, I didn't know it was foreign language. So I'm

266
00:12:43,572 --> 00:12:46,252
watching the first episode and I'm hearing these

267
00:12:46,332 --> 00:12:49,212
voices, and I'm like, every now and then I'll be like,

268
00:12:50,332 --> 00:12:53,012
is this. Like, did they screw

269
00:12:53,012 --> 00:12:53,372
up?

270
00:12:56,492 --> 00:12:57,292
Like, I don't.

271
00:12:57,292 --> 00:13:00,212
>> Will: I don't understand. It's my stream. It's my. Is my

272
00:13:00,212 --> 00:13:02,572
Internet like, the stream, like, dragging?

273
00:13:03,532 --> 00:13:06,262
>> Sarah : Exactly. So here's the funny thing.

274
00:13:06,262 --> 00:13:09,262
As soon as I figured it out, I then

275
00:13:09,262 --> 00:13:12,262
turned on subtitles. I think I might

276
00:13:12,262 --> 00:13:15,182
have lasted one episode, maybe not even an

277
00:13:15,182 --> 00:13:18,102
episode. And then I switched it back to dub. Because

278
00:13:19,542 --> 00:13:22,342
here's. Here's my logic. The.

279
00:13:22,342 --> 00:13:25,222
The storyline of Maxton hall, it's.

280
00:13:25,222 --> 00:13:28,142
It's Team Soap. I don't need to be paying

281
00:13:28,142 --> 00:13:28,582
attention.

282
00:13:30,902 --> 00:13:33,902
So I. As much as it, like, is

283
00:13:33,902 --> 00:13:36,762
bothersome, I'm not going to be paying ATT through

284
00:13:36,762 --> 00:13:39,442
most of it anyway. So having

285
00:13:39,522 --> 00:13:42,522
hearing the like, like. And by the

286
00:13:42,522 --> 00:13:45,442
by, midway through, I got used to it. Like,

287
00:13:45,602 --> 00:13:48,442
clearly, I was just like, oh, I've gone through one

288
00:13:48,442 --> 00:13:51,412
episode. Might as well go through this. through the whole thing.

289
00:13:52,522 --> 00:13:55,322
it. It's similar to what I'm finding

290
00:13:55,962 --> 00:13:58,562
when you hear a song in a

291
00:13:58,562 --> 00:14:01,042
language. Right. okay. In a different

292
00:14:01,042 --> 00:14:04,042
language now. And then you hear

293
00:14:04,042 --> 00:14:07,002
that. That song, that same song. There's the

294
00:14:07,002 --> 00:14:10,002
English version or whatever language is

295
00:14:10,002 --> 00:14:12,122
your first language. Right.

296
00:14:12,682 --> 00:14:13,082
>> Will: Right.

297
00:14:13,882 --> 00:14:16,402
>> Sarah : Now, what I'm

298
00:14:16,402 --> 00:14:19,082
finding is that

299
00:14:19,242 --> 00:14:22,042
my preference, and a lot of people have said

300
00:14:22,042 --> 00:14:24,882
this online, is that whatever language you

301
00:14:24,882 --> 00:14:27,852
hear the song in first, that

302
00:14:27,852 --> 00:14:30,612
is the language, that is the version

303
00:14:31,092 --> 00:14:33,812
that is always the true version of the

304
00:14:33,812 --> 00:14:36,612
song. And anything else, it just doesn't

305
00:14:36,612 --> 00:14:39,492
sound right. Yeah, it's so

306
00:14:39,492 --> 00:14:41,812
interesting. It's so interesting.

307
00:14:42,532 --> 00:14:45,492
>> Will: It. It really is. It really. It really is. I. You know, just

308
00:14:45,492 --> 00:14:48,292
to show my genic sensibilities here,

309
00:14:48,292 --> 00:14:51,182
it's like, 99 lift balloons. When I heard the German version, the original, I

310
00:14:51,182 --> 00:14:53,822
was like, yeah. And then I heard the Heard the,

311
00:14:54,512 --> 00:14:57,482
the mtv, dub version. I was like, nah,

312
00:14:57,722 --> 00:15:00,482
nah, gotta, gotta have the original.

313
00:15:00,482 --> 00:15:03,002
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like,

314
00:15:03,322 --> 00:15:06,282
like I, I hear a Korean

315
00:15:06,282 --> 00:15:09,082
version of a song. But

316
00:15:09,162 --> 00:15:12,002
what they don't tell you is a lot of K pop artists

317
00:15:12,002 --> 00:15:14,042
also do Japanese songs.

318
00:15:14,602 --> 00:15:17,322
Oh, original Japanese songs.

319
00:15:17,322 --> 00:15:19,892
And then people, because it's all about the money,

320
00:15:20,292 --> 00:15:22,932
then later they'll do the Korean version.

321
00:15:23,732 --> 00:15:26,452
If I hear the Japanese version

322
00:15:26,692 --> 00:15:29,652
first, that is the correct version.

323
00:15:29,892 --> 00:15:32,732
Regardless of the Korean version. It

324
00:15:32,732 --> 00:15:35,142
always sounds different. And there are actually

325
00:15:36,262 --> 00:15:38,742
my preferred version. And then

326
00:15:38,742 --> 00:15:41,462
sometimes lately we

327
00:15:41,462 --> 00:15:44,262
get the Korean version,

328
00:15:44,422 --> 00:15:47,142
the Japanese version. Oh, and the English version.

329
00:15:47,702 --> 00:15:50,702
I hardly ever listen to the English versions of

330
00:15:50,702 --> 00:15:53,542
these songs unless like,

331
00:15:53,542 --> 00:15:56,302
that is the initial version, like 17's

332
00:15:56,302 --> 00:15:59,172
Darling. I, I'm pretty sure they, they.

333
00:15:59,252 --> 00:16:02,212
I don't think they've ever released that as a Korean version

334
00:16:02,212 --> 00:16:05,082
though. Pretty sure. But it's, it's

335
00:16:05,082 --> 00:16:08,002
just. And then I, I saw on Tick Tock other

336
00:16:08,002 --> 00:16:10,882
people who listen to that kind of music

337
00:16:10,962 --> 00:16:13,722
have also said the same thing, that they never realized

338
00:16:13,722 --> 00:16:16,672
it. But it always goes back to like that

339
00:16:16,672 --> 00:16:18,032
first version you hear

340
00:16:20,752 --> 00:16:23,472
because the words are different suddenly and you're

341
00:16:23,472 --> 00:16:26,472
like, you're probably saying the same thing in a different

342
00:16:26,472 --> 00:16:29,432
language. It just doesn't flow the same. It doesn't flow.

343
00:16:29,432 --> 00:16:32,382
>> Will: Yeah, it's just. Yeah, it's just. Yeah, it just. Yeah. it really

344
00:16:32,382 --> 00:16:35,382
doesn't flow. It's like, yeah, it's the original cut of

345
00:16:35,382 --> 00:16:38,222
anything and then. Or like, or even

346
00:16:38,222 --> 00:16:41,112
like, it's like when someone just. Even in

347
00:16:41,112 --> 00:16:43,472
the same language. But this covers a song

348
00:16:44,032 --> 00:16:46,792
and, and yeah, and the COVID just,

349
00:16:46,792 --> 00:16:49,552
just never like, just never captures that

350
00:16:50,032 --> 00:16:52,192
essence of the, of the original. I mean.

351
00:16:52,352 --> 00:16:52,502
>> Sarah : Yeah.

352
00:16:52,502 --> 00:16:54,272
>> Will: Ah, it's just. I totally get what you're saying.

353
00:16:54,592 --> 00:16:57,552
>> Sarah : Yeah. I mean, and it's ironic considering

354
00:16:57,712 --> 00:17:00,552
we're about to talk about the studio and

355
00:17:00,552 --> 00:17:03,272
we get into that whole idea of original and

356
00:17:03,272 --> 00:17:05,552
art and everything. But

357
00:17:06,422 --> 00:17:09,382
to start like the second episode, the oner

358
00:17:09,462 --> 00:17:12,102
where the filming of an intricate sun

359
00:17:12,342 --> 00:17:15,262
sunset shot becomes complicated by Matt's set

360
00:17:15,262 --> 00:17:15,622
visit.

361
00:17:18,272 --> 00:17:21,072
I kept thinking I was

362
00:17:21,072 --> 00:17:22,752
looking forward to this episode.

363
00:17:23,392 --> 00:17:23,832
>> Will: Yeah.

364
00:17:23,832 --> 00:17:26,832
>> Sarah : And then it started. It's a good

365
00:17:26,832 --> 00:17:29,392
episode. Don't get me wrong. Don't get me wrong,

366
00:17:30,112 --> 00:17:32,912
but it's really hard for me

367
00:17:33,382 --> 00:17:36,302
to watch one, one shot and not

368
00:17:36,302 --> 00:17:38,222
immediately go to adolescence.

369
00:17:39,342 --> 00:17:42,142
>> Will: You know what? I put that in my notes. I totally did the

370
00:17:42,142 --> 00:17:43,822
same. I felt the same thing.

371
00:17:44,462 --> 00:17:47,302
>> Sarah : It, it's just, it's like, it's like you're, you're

372
00:17:47,302 --> 00:17:49,662
watching it and you're like, this is good.

373
00:17:50,462 --> 00:17:53,102
If it had come out before adolescence,

374
00:17:53,342 --> 00:17:56,062
I probably would be responding to it a lot

375
00:17:56,062 --> 00:17:58,822
differently. But when you see

376
00:17:58,822 --> 00:18:01,702
the ad, the workmanship, and not that they did

377
00:18:01,702 --> 00:18:03,942
anything bad, it's just that you

378
00:18:04,432 --> 00:18:07,232
you're starting to understand with this show, like

379
00:18:07,392 --> 00:18:10,032
there's going to be a concept and then

380
00:18:10,272 --> 00:18:13,232
they're going to like really

381
00:18:13,632 --> 00:18:16,472
bring that concept to life. So the fact that this is

382
00:18:16,472 --> 00:18:19,312
called the One or because Matt's obsessed with wanting

383
00:18:19,312 --> 00:18:22,232
to watch this one shot occur for

384
00:18:22,232 --> 00:18:24,592
a movie they're working on and

385
00:18:25,792 --> 00:18:28,672
it's all shot. The irony is that it's all

386
00:18:28,672 --> 00:18:31,672
shot in one take, which, which is

387
00:18:31,672 --> 00:18:34,432
clever. And then especially towards the end when you

388
00:18:34,432 --> 00:18:37,312
start, when the, when the interruptions

389
00:18:37,312 --> 00:18:39,712
really start to escalate between him

390
00:18:39,712 --> 00:18:42,592
interrupting the scene by, by wanting

391
00:18:42,592 --> 00:18:45,392
to talk to Greta, to them finding

392
00:18:45,392 --> 00:18:48,152
out that the car was parked in the wrong

393
00:18:48,152 --> 00:18:51,072
spot. Which was a great callback because I had forgotten about

394
00:18:51,072 --> 00:18:53,832
that by the time we got there. But at the

395
00:18:53,832 --> 00:18:56,822
same time I'm just like, I, can't

396
00:18:56,982 --> 00:18:59,902
because I don't

397
00:18:59,902 --> 00:19:02,722
know if I'll ever look at a one again and

398
00:19:02,882 --> 00:19:04,962
not compare it to adolescence.

399
00:19:06,082 --> 00:19:09,082
>> Will: Yeah. So I, I, I, I thought, like I said

400
00:19:09,082 --> 00:19:12,032
as I thought about adolescence and and I think there was a

401
00:19:12,032 --> 00:19:14,992
couple, maybe it was some other things

402
00:19:14,992 --> 00:19:17,552
that we've talked recently where there's been like the one

403
00:19:17,952 --> 00:19:20,672
shot. But you're right, I mean it definitely

404
00:19:21,072 --> 00:19:23,672
for the, the, the comet. The comedy of

405
00:19:23,672 --> 00:19:26,032
errors and, and Matt just

406
00:19:26,672 --> 00:19:29,672
wanting to, you know, to be there for it and

407
00:19:29,672 --> 00:19:32,392
then, and all, and also like all the other

408
00:19:32,552 --> 00:19:35,112
things around him

409
00:19:35,112 --> 00:19:37,992
showing up as far as like the, you know,

410
00:19:37,992 --> 00:19:40,712
the publicity as far as you and, and,

411
00:19:41,272 --> 00:19:43,432
and everything you with

412
00:19:44,802 --> 00:19:47,682
the, you know, with the car. I mean like as soon as the car, like since

413
00:19:47,682 --> 00:19:50,682
they got like parked there and then when the show ended, the

414
00:19:50,682 --> 00:19:53,682
episode ended, I was like, they're not going to be able to fit. That's

415
00:19:53,682 --> 00:19:55,522
going to be, that's going to be the, the, the, the

416
00:19:56,002 --> 00:19:58,792
crescendo of all the fuck

417
00:19:58,792 --> 00:20:01,792
ups. Because they parked the car right there

418
00:20:01,792 --> 00:20:04,672
because they were already running late and, and,

419
00:20:04,672 --> 00:20:07,552
and just, you know, just from the, from, to get. Everything

420
00:20:07,552 --> 00:20:09,872
was just like just

421
00:20:10,192 --> 00:20:11,912
messing up. Yeah.

422
00:20:11,912 --> 00:20:14,672
>> Sarah : Well, what was the best up

423
00:20:14,912 --> 00:20:16,992
out of all of them in this episode?

424
00:20:17,552 --> 00:20:19,312
>> Will: Oh God. Oh.

425
00:20:22,592 --> 00:20:25,312
>> Will: Man. So the car is definitely one of my tops.

426
00:20:25,492 --> 00:20:27,562
>> Sarah : Really? Even though you had, but, but

427
00:20:28,742 --> 00:20:31,542
>> Will: It'S still the execution of it. This worked beautifully.

428
00:20:31,782 --> 00:20:33,382
It was the execution. Yeah.

429
00:20:33,382 --> 00:20:34,022
>> Sarah : Got it.

430
00:20:34,022 --> 00:20:36,982
>> Will: Because, yeah, because you know, you had all these, you know, because of course

431
00:20:36,982 --> 00:20:39,981
you had, you Know you have Matt. I will say I did like

432
00:20:39,981 --> 00:20:42,942
the one where he, like, you know, crashed and like, busted his

433
00:20:42,942 --> 00:20:43,222
face.

434
00:20:44,182 --> 00:20:44,662
>> Sarah : Yeah.

435
00:20:45,062 --> 00:20:45,542
>> Will: Yeah.

436
00:20:45,542 --> 00:20:48,222
>> Sarah : What I Like what I liked about that

437
00:20:48,222 --> 00:20:51,062
one was that. Was that I,

438
00:20:51,222 --> 00:20:52,742
as an audience member

439
00:20:54,252 --> 00:20:57,052
was like, they did a really good job with that one.

440
00:20:57,052 --> 00:20:59,892
When he comes out of the bathroom or wherever they were

441
00:20:59,892 --> 00:21:02,692
talking and. And. Or

442
00:21:02,692 --> 00:21:05,452
wherever he was talking with Sal and immediately

443
00:21:05,452 --> 00:21:08,452
sees Greta. And I'm, as an audience member still

444
00:21:08,452 --> 00:21:11,292
like, okay, everything's fine. And then so it catches me off

445
00:21:11,292 --> 00:21:13,772
guard too when they're like. He just

446
00:21:13,772 --> 00:21:16,622
interrupted like, That. That execution, I thought.

447
00:21:16,622 --> 00:21:18,382
Because a lot of the other stuff

448
00:21:19,492 --> 00:21:22,462
did seem a bit like. Especially with the, Not

449
00:21:22,462 --> 00:21:25,302
the cigarette, but the blonde. I was just like,

450
00:21:26,502 --> 00:21:27,702
see where that's going?

451
00:21:28,182 --> 00:21:31,182
>> Will: Yeah. I just love that he was just trying to get. You know, he just kept trying

452
00:21:31,182 --> 00:21:34,142
to give Sarah the note, you know, about the blunt.

453
00:21:34,142 --> 00:21:37,102
And then. And then also like early on in

454
00:21:37,102 --> 00:21:39,462
the episode, whenever he. Whenever

455
00:21:40,102 --> 00:21:43,092
they were, trying to set up the,

456
00:21:43,672 --> 00:21:46,312
The, Others. The. His executive

457
00:21:46,392 --> 00:21:49,352
studio, his own special, like, thing. Get her. Get

458
00:21:49,352 --> 00:21:52,152
her. Get him away from her so she can just focus on the shot.

459
00:21:52,152 --> 00:21:54,992
Because I mean, the thing about. About the. The

460
00:21:54,992 --> 00:21:57,432
winner here too was they only. Basically

461
00:21:57,992 --> 00:22:00,512
whenever. As soon as she. And when

462
00:22:00,512 --> 00:22:03,422
Sarah, Poli and the director of photography

463
00:22:03,422 --> 00:22:06,382
started talking about they only have enough light for, you know,

464
00:22:06,382 --> 00:22:09,222
for a couple shots, I was like, oh, boy. Except

465
00:22:09,222 --> 00:22:10,652
as I was like.

466
00:22:12,252 --> 00:22:15,252
I was like, the shots gonna get messed up somehow some

467
00:22:15,252 --> 00:22:18,252
way. They're not gonna. They're gonna run out of light. And it's just like. It just kind of

468
00:22:18,252 --> 00:22:20,732
just spiral. Spiral from there because it was just.

469
00:22:21,132 --> 00:22:24,092
But whenever. But the other. The other one too

470
00:22:24,092 --> 00:22:26,892
was whenever he was. You know, whenever he was with. Trying to

471
00:22:26,892 --> 00:22:29,572
whisper and. And she. And. And

472
00:22:29,572 --> 00:22:32,452
Greta could hear. Hear the whispering and stuff, and it

473
00:22:32,452 --> 00:22:35,332
took her out of the scene. I mean,

474
00:22:35,332 --> 00:22:38,272
it was just so many things about why. And. And I've,

475
00:22:38,262 --> 00:22:40,782
got the little still up here like Catherine o' Hara. Like, you.

476
00:22:41,492 --> 00:22:44,452
You know, Patty looking at. Looking at Matt like, you schmuck. I

477
00:22:44,452 --> 00:22:47,212
mean, just. Just. Just. Just get. Just go

478
00:22:47,212 --> 00:22:50,212
already, because you're just messing everything up. But he just. You know,

479
00:22:50,212 --> 00:22:53,172
he was just so, like. Whenever

480
00:22:53,172 --> 00:22:56,052
Sarah, like, told. You know, agreed with him about

481
00:22:56,052 --> 00:22:58,972
the blunt, and then Greta also agreed with it. You know,

482
00:22:58,972 --> 00:23:01,842
it was just like, oh, he's like, I'm. I'm. I'm helpful here. And it,

483
00:23:01,842 --> 00:23:04,362
Just like. It was just encouraging him to like, just.

484
00:23:05,322 --> 00:23:08,322
Just be just a pest there and just. It just messed

485
00:23:08,322 --> 00:23:09,082
everything up. But.

486
00:23:11,632 --> 00:23:13,952
>> Sarah : The whispering one I thought was the weakest

487
00:23:14,672 --> 00:23:17,522
out of all of them. that and the blunt,

488
00:23:17,522 --> 00:23:20,242
arguably, for everything that you just said about

489
00:23:20,322 --> 00:23:22,922
that, because those were the most

490
00:23:22,922 --> 00:23:25,602
foreshadowed. But looking back on it now,

491
00:23:26,722 --> 00:23:29,572
it's a good, It's a good episode to follow out

492
00:23:29,572 --> 00:23:32,292
the pilot and to also then be

493
00:23:32,292 --> 00:23:35,032
followed up by the note, because what

494
00:23:35,032 --> 00:23:36,912
we're seeing is

495
00:23:37,792 --> 00:23:40,752
between the oner and the note is,

496
00:23:41,642 --> 00:23:44,522
more. They delve more into his ego

497
00:23:45,962 --> 00:23:48,962
and. And you would think coming off of the pilot,

498
00:23:48,962 --> 00:23:51,962
like, he doesn't have that big of an ego or anything

499
00:23:52,842 --> 00:23:55,642
because he seems like, oh, I just want to make really

500
00:23:55,642 --> 00:23:58,042
good movies. But

501
00:23:58,842 --> 00:24:01,082
with the note, he.

502
00:24:01,802 --> 00:24:04,792
He, He finds himself in this position where

503
00:24:04,872 --> 00:24:06,632
he has to do his job well.

504
00:24:08,312 --> 00:24:11,112
He has to do his one job, which

505
00:24:11,112 --> 00:24:14,032
is, to be honest, to a filmmaker. And in

506
00:24:14,032 --> 00:24:16,552
this case, it was Ron Howard about,

507
00:24:16,712 --> 00:24:19,522
About a movie that, went on way

508
00:24:19,522 --> 00:24:22,282
too long and had this extra. This

509
00:24:22,282 --> 00:24:25,282
extra. What was it, like an extra

510
00:24:25,282 --> 00:24:26,882
30 minutes for 40 minutes?

511
00:24:27,762 --> 00:24:30,722
>> Will: Yeah, it was. Yeah. I mean, I loved. Yeah, I

512
00:24:30,722 --> 00:24:32,962
love. That was so great because it's like

513
00:24:33,602 --> 00:24:36,332
one last thing about the. The one or two, which, you know,

514
00:24:36,332 --> 00:24:38,852
which. How meta this show is.

515
00:24:39,832 --> 00:24:42,782
it, You know, so Sarah Poly, she. She,

516
00:24:42,782 --> 00:24:45,662
you know, she directed Women Talking. And it was. No, she was a

517
00:24:45,662 --> 00:24:48,502
writer of Women Talking, if I recall. But this. But she

518
00:24:48,502 --> 00:24:51,352
also was an actor and. But you

519
00:24:51,352 --> 00:24:54,272
know how, like, the thing that I really appreciate about this

520
00:24:54,272 --> 00:24:57,272
show is like, all the things that go into the relationships of Hollywood.

521
00:24:57,932 --> 00:25:00,902
and, and. And so in real life, this was like

522
00:25:00,902 --> 00:25:03,662
her first acting gig in like 17 years. She did it as a

523
00:25:03,662 --> 00:25:06,662
favor to Seth Rogen because they're, you know, they're good friends and stuff.

524
00:25:06,662 --> 00:25:09,502
And, and that's another thing that I think this, that the show

525
00:25:09,502 --> 00:25:11,982
has like, also the.

526
00:25:13,262 --> 00:25:15,862
Really gets into some of the. The. The. The. The

527
00:25:15,862 --> 00:25:18,852
relationships that people have, whether it's good, bad or

528
00:25:18,852 --> 00:25:21,732
in between, and it really, you know, comes to a head. You know, we see

529
00:25:21,732 --> 00:25:24,722
that also with, with the note, as far

530
00:25:24,722 --> 00:25:27,452
as, just, you know, how

531
00:25:27,852 --> 00:25:30,772
good or bad experience can.

532
00:25:30,772 --> 00:25:33,632
Can like basically like color. Color,

533
00:25:34,532 --> 00:25:37,402
your, Your professional, outlook on things

534
00:25:37,402 --> 00:25:40,162
like, and how hard it was for Matt to give Ron Howard this

535
00:25:40,162 --> 00:25:40,522
note.

536
00:25:43,182 --> 00:25:44,942
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah, yeah.

537
00:25:45,352 --> 00:25:45,832
>> Will: Yeah,

538
00:25:48,472 --> 00:25:48,872
yeah.

539
00:25:48,872 --> 00:25:49,272
>> Sarah : I mean.

540
00:25:49,272 --> 00:25:50,632
>> Will: Yeah, yeah.

541
00:25:51,032 --> 00:25:52,312
>> Sarah : Oh, no, you go ahead.

542
00:25:52,952 --> 00:25:55,632
>> Will: No, no, but I was just. Yeah, because I mean, the thing about the

543
00:25:55,632 --> 00:25:57,591
note in particular, so, you know, because.

544
00:25:58,632 --> 00:26:01,512
And I guess Matt was just so

545
00:26:01,512 --> 00:26:04,512
worried about ruining the relationship with

546
00:26:04,512 --> 00:26:07,292
Matt with, with Ron Howard because he, he

547
00:26:07,292 --> 00:26:10,122
thinks Back to like whenever a

548
00:26:10,122 --> 00:26:12,882
beautiful m. He was, he was a lowly PA

549
00:26:12,962 --> 00:26:14,802
or. And he was like first

550
00:26:16,002 --> 00:26:18,912
giving his thoughts at a screening about about

551
00:26:18,912 --> 00:26:21,872
A Beautiful Mind and he was like wanting to give the, the,

552
00:26:21,872 --> 00:26:24,712
the, the this, you know, suggestion about

553
00:26:24,712 --> 00:26:27,622
Will Polk Bettany's character. Right, right. Yeah,

554
00:26:27,622 --> 00:26:30,582
yeah. Imaginary. Yeah, yeah.

555
00:26:32,422 --> 00:26:33,222
Oh, go ahead.

556
00:26:33,702 --> 00:26:36,662
>> Sarah : Oh yeah, it's so, so, yeah, so he,

557
00:26:36,902 --> 00:26:39,862
he gave a note as a young PA to Ron

558
00:26:39,862 --> 00:26:42,572
Howard. And the reaction to that

559
00:26:42,572 --> 00:26:44,872
of Ron Howard cursing him out

560
00:26:45,432 --> 00:26:48,212
prevents him from in his, present

561
00:26:48,292 --> 00:26:50,692
day wanting to give a similar

562
00:26:50,932 --> 00:26:53,572
note, albeit the correct

563
00:26:53,652 --> 00:26:56,502
note ironically, to Ron

564
00:26:56,502 --> 00:26:59,192
Howard about this specific new

565
00:26:59,192 --> 00:27:02,082
movie that he's working on. but again,

566
00:27:02,162 --> 00:27:04,722
like I was saying before, it's all about his ego

567
00:27:05,202 --> 00:27:06,882
because he.

568
00:27:06,962 --> 00:27:09,602
>> Will: Okay, yeah, go ahead, go ahead,

569
00:27:09,922 --> 00:27:12,562
finish your thought. I had a thoughts about the ego too.

570
00:27:14,162 --> 00:27:17,002
>> Sarah : Okay, well now I'm curious about what your thoughts because

571
00:27:17,002 --> 00:27:19,722
I, I thought I'd started, but I'm confused.

572
00:27:19,722 --> 00:27:22,612
>> Will: Yeah, so what I was just going to say. I don't know if it's so

573
00:27:22,612 --> 00:27:25,492
much ego. For me it's, it is a bit of ego, but it's also

574
00:27:25,492 --> 00:27:26,452
a lot of insecurity.

575
00:27:27,582 --> 00:27:30,302
>> Sarah : Right? Yeah, yeah,

576
00:27:31,102 --> 00:27:33,902
yeah, yeah. Insecurity, ego.

577
00:27:35,602 --> 00:27:38,162
he, he. Yeah, yeah.

578
00:27:38,722 --> 00:27:41,522
So, so why do you. I guess. Well,

579
00:27:41,602 --> 00:27:44,442
are we gonna debate about that? I don't know. yeah,

580
00:27:45,482 --> 00:27:46,602
well, he has an ego.

581
00:27:46,602 --> 00:27:49,402
>> Will: Because like, you know, it's, it's like, like for example,

582
00:27:49,402 --> 00:27:52,242
going back to the, the suggestion with the, with the

583
00:27:52,242 --> 00:27:55,242
blunt and the oner. I mean, you know, whenever.

584
00:27:57,802 --> 00:28:00,602
>> Sarah : He'S, he has, ah, he's a bit

585
00:28:00,602 --> 00:28:02,602
naive, I guess. Yeah, so.

586
00:28:05,002 --> 00:28:06,362
Yeah, yeah,

587
00:28:07,882 --> 00:28:10,801
but because he thinks he's doing the right

588
00:28:10,801 --> 00:28:11,162
thing.

589
00:28:12,952 --> 00:28:15,862
>> Sarah : Like, like the irony between this

590
00:28:15,862 --> 00:28:18,662
episode, the note and the oner is

591
00:28:18,662 --> 00:28:21,552
that he was doing all the wrong

592
00:28:21,552 --> 00:28:24,312
things unknowingly. Like,

593
00:28:24,552 --> 00:28:27,512
like I, I feel like with this episode

594
00:28:27,512 --> 00:28:30,192
it's more about ego. Like.

595
00:28:30,192 --> 00:28:33,112
Yeah, it's insecurity. But he

596
00:28:33,192 --> 00:28:35,952
doesn't, you have to remember, he doesn't think

597
00:28:35,952 --> 00:28:38,072
that Ron Howard remembers it.

598
00:28:38,472 --> 00:28:38,872
>> Will: Right.

599
00:28:39,352 --> 00:28:42,312
>> Sarah : He, he honestly. And they set that up

600
00:28:42,312 --> 00:28:45,112
perfectly where he honestly feels like

601
00:28:45,562 --> 00:28:48,482
because everyone else is telling him that, oh, Ron

602
00:28:48,482 --> 00:28:51,322
Howard likes you. Oh, this. And he himself

603
00:28:51,322 --> 00:28:54,202
feels like, oh, I'm in this good spot. I don't have to go

604
00:28:54,202 --> 00:28:56,962
back there. Unfortunately though,

605
00:28:56,962 --> 00:28:59,882
I have to give him this note and I don't want

606
00:28:59,882 --> 00:29:02,602
to because this guy likes me

607
00:29:02,922 --> 00:29:05,562
and I don't want him to then

608
00:29:06,122 --> 00:29:08,962
like. And obviously it

609
00:29:08,962 --> 00:29:11,722
does like to then remember

610
00:29:11,722 --> 00:29:14,702
what I said before because in the past

611
00:29:14,702 --> 00:29:17,382
it was the wrong note in the present.

612
00:29:17,382 --> 00:29:20,342
It's the right note. So, like,

613
00:29:20,342 --> 00:29:23,302
the. The. The. Yeah, it's an

614
00:29:23,302 --> 00:29:26,022
insecurity because he. He.

615
00:29:26,982 --> 00:29:29,702
Well, I don't know. I don't know if he really

616
00:29:29,862 --> 00:29:32,702
thinks that it was the

617
00:29:32,702 --> 00:29:35,542
wrong note to. To give at the,

618
00:29:36,952 --> 00:29:39,512
In this episode, like when he was,

619
00:29:39,472 --> 00:29:42,102
younger. There's too many notes.

620
00:29:43,222 --> 00:29:46,142
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well,

621
00:29:46,142 --> 00:29:48,982
I think it was. I mean, well, what I

622
00:29:48,982 --> 00:29:50,272
say, Because he's trying

623
00:29:51,792 --> 00:29:54,752
to. And it goes back to like the pilot with. With.

624
00:29:54,752 --> 00:29:57,072
With. With the studio president,

625
00:29:58,312 --> 00:30:01,242
the owner. I mean, you know, he's not, you know,

626
00:30:01,242 --> 00:30:04,242
he's trying, you know, he's. He's wanting to, like,

627
00:30:04,402 --> 00:30:07,292
have a blockbuster, you know, and.

628
00:30:07,612 --> 00:30:10,252
And so. And he's, you know, and he's fresh in the job.

629
00:30:10,572 --> 00:30:13,452
All the stuff that happened with Patty, you know, as far as how,

630
00:30:13,452 --> 00:30:16,202
you know, how she got, ceremoniously fired.

631
00:30:16,202 --> 00:30:19,162
And. And so, you know, he's not really, you know, he's.

632
00:30:19,162 --> 00:30:21,962
He's very insecure in his position as

633
00:30:21,962 --> 00:30:24,882
studio head. And, you know, and. And so. And I love

634
00:30:24,882 --> 00:30:27,242
the way they, like, set up. Set up this.

635
00:30:27,642 --> 00:30:30,602
The. The episode because, you know, they go into. There. They're

636
00:30:30,602 --> 00:30:33,472
going into screener, and, you, know, they had

637
00:30:33,472 --> 00:30:36,312
that. That great moment. You know, Antony Mackie, you

638
00:30:36,312 --> 00:30:38,742
got, you know, you know, Franco and.

639
00:30:39,222 --> 00:30:42,142
And they're like, oh, yeah, yeah. And then, you know, and then, like

640
00:30:42,142 --> 00:30:44,982
you said, it's just like it goes into the

641
00:30:44,982 --> 00:30:47,862
ending that never ends. Like, we've. Which again,

642
00:30:47,862 --> 00:30:50,822
is just a great reference on, like, run times and.

643
00:30:51,062 --> 00:30:53,982
And. And you know how movies just. Just don't end

644
00:30:53,982 --> 00:30:56,662
these days. So, you know, and then he.

645
00:30:56,822 --> 00:30:59,062
So whenever it was time to give the note,

646
00:30:59,912 --> 00:31:02,562
like, he. You, know, he was like. You said he was

647
00:31:02,562 --> 00:31:05,322
cute. He was still thinking about the, you know,

648
00:31:05,322 --> 00:31:07,642
the chewing out he got by Ron before

649
00:31:08,682 --> 00:31:11,602
trying to, like, get everybody else to, like, you know, to do the

650
00:31:11,602 --> 00:31:14,562
dirty work for him. But, you know, but at the end of the

651
00:31:14,562 --> 00:31:17,562
day, you know, it was the right call. And even. Even, like, it's funny

652
00:31:17,562 --> 00:31:20,122
when Antony Mackey even came into the room and he was just like

653
00:31:20,842 --> 00:31:23,842
this. This thing sucks. I mean, everybody is in

654
00:31:23,842 --> 00:31:26,762
agreement, but at the end of the day, they were so afraid of

655
00:31:26,762 --> 00:31:28,802
pissing off the filmmaker.

656
00:31:30,282 --> 00:31:33,002
because like you said, I mean, it was just set, you know,

657
00:31:33,002 --> 00:31:33,322
because.

658
00:31:34,282 --> 00:31:37,002
>> Sarah : Because. Yeah,

659
00:31:37,402 --> 00:31:40,242
yeah, yeah. Like, there. There. There's

660
00:31:40,242 --> 00:31:42,402
always an insecurity that's

661
00:31:42,402 --> 00:31:44,282
overcompensated by an ego.

662
00:31:44,682 --> 00:31:45,242
>> Will: Yeah.

663
00:31:45,242 --> 00:31:47,882
>> Sarah : And that power struggle within

664
00:31:48,042 --> 00:31:50,682
Hollywood and all of these different players

665
00:31:50,842 --> 00:31:51,882
of this Game

666
00:31:54,672 --> 00:31:57,632
for Matt. It's interesting that you brought up in the pilot him

667
00:31:57,632 --> 00:32:00,352
being insecure in his job because

668
00:32:00,832 --> 00:32:03,832
there's the other side of that pilot and the other version

669
00:32:03,832 --> 00:32:06,552
of Matt where Matt, like, went, got the meeting

670
00:32:06,552 --> 00:32:08,352
with Scorsese,

671
00:32:09,472 --> 00:32:12,192
managed to get. Try to get on track

672
00:32:12,272 --> 00:32:15,272
the movie he wanted to get. Like, I don't

673
00:32:15,272 --> 00:32:18,272
know if it's insecure. Like, yes, it's

674
00:32:18,652 --> 00:32:21,532
there. There's aspects of insecurity. But

675
00:32:23,292 --> 00:32:26,052
I. I think what they're doing with this

676
00:32:26,052 --> 00:32:28,842
character and this person, with

677
00:32:28,842 --> 00:32:31,162
this character is that

678
00:32:31,642 --> 00:32:34,521
a balance of him being a

679
00:32:35,562 --> 00:32:38,522
very naive. I want to be the one

680
00:32:38,522 --> 00:32:41,482
who determines what films to make.

681
00:32:41,482 --> 00:32:44,362
And then having all of these different.

682
00:32:44,442 --> 00:32:46,492
Whether it be the, The real.

683
00:32:48,392 --> 00:32:50,472
Arguably the real head of the studio

684
00:32:51,112 --> 00:32:53,672
telling him what movies he will

685
00:32:53,752 --> 00:32:56,162
choose to make. or

686
00:32:56,562 --> 00:32:59,452
them. M. Or Maya saying, I can't market this.

687
00:32:59,452 --> 00:33:02,281
You gotta come up with something better. or Sal

688
00:33:02,522 --> 00:33:05,482
being like, you gotta think more in

689
00:33:05,482 --> 00:33:07,852
this lane. or Patty

690
00:33:08,172 --> 00:33:10,852
basically kind of mentoring, but

691
00:33:10,852 --> 00:33:13,731
also just telling him he's a. Every

692
00:33:13,731 --> 00:33:16,731
five seconds. Like, there's all of these

693
00:33:16,731 --> 00:33:19,731
other forces that I think are

694
00:33:19,731 --> 00:33:22,531
building more of the insecurity. Because you also

695
00:33:22,611 --> 00:33:24,291
don't go from being a PA

696
00:33:25,571 --> 00:33:28,451
all the way to the head of a studio without

697
00:33:28,531 --> 00:33:31,291
developing an ego. I mean, that when he

698
00:33:31,291 --> 00:33:34,101
tells, When he comes up with this idea,

699
00:33:34,101 --> 00:33:36,751
like, oh, we, Yeah, I

700
00:33:36,751 --> 00:33:39,682
purchased that script for 5 million or

701
00:33:39,682 --> 00:33:42,442
$10 million because A, he could.

702
00:33:43,082 --> 00:33:46,082
And B, then he masked it with

703
00:33:46,082 --> 00:33:49,042
this lie. Like, I. I think there is

704
00:33:49,042 --> 00:33:51,762
a lot of ego. And I think that that's

705
00:33:51,762 --> 00:33:54,682
why it was a good

706
00:33:55,082 --> 00:33:58,042
scene when, quote, unquote,

707
00:33:58,042 --> 00:34:00,362
the real Ron Howard shows up and

708
00:34:00,362 --> 00:34:03,082
realizes what's going on. And then you get this.

709
00:34:03,572 --> 00:34:06,132
These two forces coming together,

710
00:34:07,002 --> 00:34:09,822
clashing in that way. And. And

711
00:34:09,822 --> 00:34:12,822
you can see Matt. I. I like

712
00:34:12,822 --> 00:34:15,562
the. I like how the, The. The

713
00:34:15,562 --> 00:34:18,042
whole sequence that. That is being

714
00:34:18,042 --> 00:34:20,522
discussed in this entire episode

715
00:34:21,002 --> 00:34:23,692
is, kind of an

716
00:34:23,692 --> 00:34:26,332
homage to. By the end of this episode

717
00:34:26,572 --> 00:34:29,412
with Matt being like, oh, well, I really

718
00:34:29,412 --> 00:34:31,772
lost that one. But he didn't because

719
00:34:32,202 --> 00:34:35,042
Ron eventually takes the sequence out of the

720
00:34:35,042 --> 00:34:37,892
movie, and then threatens Matt

721
00:34:37,892 --> 00:34:40,892
and says, if you ever do this to me again, I will destroy

722
00:34:40,892 --> 00:34:43,572
you. No, take it,

723
00:34:43,972 --> 00:34:46,782
take it. And then. And then we even

724
00:34:46,782 --> 00:34:49,472
get more ego, occurring with the

725
00:34:49,472 --> 00:34:51,432
missing real as. And we,

726
00:34:52,272 --> 00:34:54,592
Another director, Olivia Wild,

727
00:34:55,542 --> 00:34:58,452
Who. Speaking. Steals are real. Did

728
00:34:58,452 --> 00:35:01,092
you figure out that it was Olivia

729
00:35:01,092 --> 00:35:04,012
before or. At what point did he figure out that it was

730
00:35:04,012 --> 00:35:04,692
Olivia?

731
00:35:05,352 --> 00:35:08,312
>> Will: about halfway through. I think I figured

732
00:35:08,312 --> 00:35:09,032
it out. Because,

733
00:35:11,212 --> 00:35:14,172
it was just. I think. Yeah, it was. And

734
00:35:14,172 --> 00:35:17,072
whenever, they. Zach Efron, you know, I

735
00:35:17,072 --> 00:35:19,822
couldn't help but, like, think of, hello, darling.

736
00:35:20,072 --> 00:35:22,792
and also when they were like, you know, given all the. She went full

737
00:35:22,792 --> 00:35:24,942
Fincher whenever they were talking with the, the guy who

738
00:35:25,732 --> 00:35:28,732
earlier about the can. As far as the whole perfectionist

739
00:35:28,732 --> 00:35:31,492
note in the scene and her,

740
00:35:32,052 --> 00:35:34,932
you know, just getting, you know, getting

741
00:35:34,932 --> 00:35:37,932
that her, you know, she did the cameo and it was just excellent.

742
00:35:37,932 --> 00:35:40,932
So, yeah, so I started piecing it together, but I think it was just

743
00:35:40,932 --> 00:35:43,732
a. You know, the cool thing about this

744
00:35:43,732 --> 00:35:46,572
show is whenever they do, like, you

745
00:35:46,572 --> 00:35:49,492
know, set things up, you know, each.

746
00:35:49,812 --> 00:35:52,662
Each episode, this is like. Like in

747
00:35:52,662 --> 00:35:55,342
this one, it was like, playing off the whole, you know, film noir,

748
00:35:55,502 --> 00:35:58,232
you know, detective story kind of thing. you know,

749
00:35:59,522 --> 00:36:02,382
Matt was kind of like. Was stepping in as, like, Bogey, you

750
00:36:02,382 --> 00:36:05,222
know, Humphrey Bogart or something like that. So I.

751
00:36:05,222 --> 00:36:08,062
I just really like the way they. They sort of set this.

752
00:36:08,622 --> 00:36:11,182
Just, you know, set things up,

753
00:36:11,252 --> 00:36:13,742
organically. not only from the story

754
00:36:13,822 --> 00:36:16,782
standpoint, but also from the sets and the.

755
00:36:16,912 --> 00:36:19,552
The wardrobe. I mean, thinking back to, you know, the oner.

756
00:36:20,882 --> 00:36:23,882
you know, just that trying to, like, dress down and ended up

757
00:36:23,882 --> 00:36:26,762
looking like, you know, just like, you know, just a studio hand. And they didn't even

758
00:36:26,762 --> 00:36:29,552
realize he was. Because he got rid of his suit. there

759
00:36:29,552 --> 00:36:32,472
little. Little things like that are just like, the little details that I really

760
00:36:32,472 --> 00:36:33,632
appreciate about this show.

761
00:36:36,592 --> 00:36:37,872
>> Sarah : Yeah, I.

762
00:36:39,872 --> 00:36:42,372
I go back and forth on it. M.

763
00:36:42,592 --> 00:36:45,392
Sometimes it comes off as a bit gimmicky to me.

764
00:36:46,662 --> 00:36:49,422
and I don't know why, but it doesn't

765
00:36:49,422 --> 00:36:52,292
play as original. I do

766
00:36:52,372 --> 00:36:55,112
like how they normalize.

767
00:36:56,172 --> 00:36:59,012
like the idea that, like, you have this

768
00:36:59,012 --> 00:37:01,932
sequence in this episode called the Missing Reel,

769
00:37:01,932 --> 00:37:04,702
where, they cut to Matt

770
00:37:04,702 --> 00:37:07,192
in a trench coat and it's voiceover.

771
00:37:08,152 --> 00:37:10,992
And then about 10 seconds later, Sal calls

772
00:37:10,992 --> 00:37:13,832
him over and he. He

773
00:37:13,832 --> 00:37:16,552
says something like, why are you talking to that

774
00:37:16,552 --> 00:37:19,552
voice recorder? And it's like my therapist says, whenever

775
00:37:19,552 --> 00:37:22,392
I'm going through spinning now, I have to, like,

776
00:37:22,952 --> 00:37:25,852
journal. so. So, like,

777
00:37:25,852 --> 00:37:28,692
I can appreciate when they do things like

778
00:37:28,692 --> 00:37:31,602
that. but sometimes once I

779
00:37:31,602 --> 00:37:34,212
figure out what the. What the

780
00:37:34,212 --> 00:37:37,132
gimmick is, then I'm just, like, looking for

781
00:37:37,132 --> 00:37:40,132
it and it becomes less. Less

782
00:37:40,132 --> 00:37:43,012
obvious. That's why I appreciate with the note

783
00:37:43,012 --> 00:37:45,852
how there really wasn't that much

784
00:37:45,852 --> 00:37:47,932
of a gimmick. And it felt more

785
00:37:48,812 --> 00:37:51,292
like something a studio

786
00:37:51,532 --> 00:37:54,212
would experience on a. On a

787
00:37:54,212 --> 00:37:56,962
regular basis. feedback, whether

788
00:37:56,962 --> 00:37:59,962
it's to A director or. Or. And it's not

789
00:37:59,962 --> 00:38:02,682
like, also, I just want to go back to it and

790
00:38:02,682 --> 00:38:05,602
say, like, arguably. So they

791
00:38:05,602 --> 00:38:08,442
didn't just choose a new director. They. It was about

792
00:38:08,442 --> 00:38:11,442
giving a. A note to a director

793
00:38:11,522 --> 00:38:14,002
who's so well known as Ron Howard.

794
00:38:14,242 --> 00:38:17,002
Yeah, it would. It would be

795
00:38:17,002 --> 00:38:19,962
like if we actually saw them make the Jamestown

796
00:38:19,962 --> 00:38:22,922
movie and he had to give a note up to Martin

797
00:38:22,922 --> 00:38:25,372
Scorsese. I mean, come on. Like,

798
00:38:26,892 --> 00:38:29,892
so. So I. I think that.

799
00:38:29,892 --> 00:38:32,332
That overall, is what I find

800
00:38:32,892 --> 00:38:35,772
so fun about this show is

801
00:38:35,772 --> 00:38:38,492
the cameos and the.

802
00:38:38,732 --> 00:38:41,572
The. They're not. They're not trying to

803
00:38:41,572 --> 00:38:44,012
make this. No, this is clearly Hollywood, and

804
00:38:44,572 --> 00:38:47,572
Seth Rogen has so many friends and that

805
00:38:47,572 --> 00:38:50,572
he's getting all of these cameos. And

806
00:38:50,732 --> 00:38:52,932
the other thing, that

807
00:38:53,572 --> 00:38:55,652
in watching these three episodes

808
00:38:56,452 --> 00:38:59,092
following last week with the pilot is.

809
00:38:59,652 --> 00:39:02,052
I am surprised, pleasantly surprised,

810
00:39:02,452 --> 00:39:05,412
that there has been no mention

811
00:39:05,412 --> 00:39:07,412
of Kool Aid in these three episodes.

812
00:39:08,612 --> 00:39:09,252
>> Will: That's right.

813
00:39:10,452 --> 00:39:12,692
>> Sarah : So. Because from the pilot,

814
00:39:13,172 --> 00:39:16,012
you think to yourself, oh, that's gonna be

815
00:39:16,012 --> 00:39:18,792
like, maybe the first half. Half of this season or

816
00:39:18,792 --> 00:39:21,712
something. But no, we. They, like,

817
00:39:22,192 --> 00:39:25,072
they. They're doing a good job. Like, that was the premise.

818
00:39:25,072 --> 00:39:27,912
And I'm sure we'll get there. I'm sure we'll circle

819
00:39:27,912 --> 00:39:30,192
back around to that. But.

820
00:39:30,592 --> 00:39:33,471
But they have plenty of other projects

821
00:39:33,471 --> 00:39:36,192
in the works at various states of being

822
00:39:36,192 --> 00:39:39,152
filmed and everything, so I,

823
00:39:39,412 --> 00:39:42,362
I really think that, that that was a

824
00:39:42,362 --> 00:39:45,162
good choice as well, which leads the,

825
00:39:45,402 --> 00:39:47,962
like, this is still the first season, so

826
00:39:47,962 --> 00:39:50,762
it's. You're still creating this world

827
00:39:50,762 --> 00:39:52,042
in this dynamic.

828
00:39:53,482 --> 00:39:56,402
now. Now for the big reveal. Did I laugh

829
00:39:56,402 --> 00:39:59,362
at any point? No. I don't know what it

830
00:39:59,362 --> 00:40:02,202
is with me in this show. I'm. For some reason,

831
00:40:02,362 --> 00:40:05,242
I like the humor, but I'm not laughing,

832
00:40:05,242 --> 00:40:07,962
if I'm being honest. I don't know why.

833
00:40:07,962 --> 00:40:10,842
>> Will: Maybe. Do you need a. Do you need a laugh track? I mean, I

834
00:40:11,862 --> 00:40:14,662
definitely find myself laughing out loud with this,

835
00:40:14,862 --> 00:40:17,572
show. You know, obviously, like, whenever. With.

836
00:40:17,812 --> 00:40:20,572
When Opie. Opie,

837
00:40:20,572 --> 00:40:23,172
like, taunted Matt. I mean, it was just like,

838
00:40:23,172 --> 00:40:25,732
damn, Opie. Opie's. Opie's an.

839
00:40:27,892 --> 00:40:30,882
But, But, yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's. I.

840
00:40:30,962 --> 00:40:33,722
There's. There's definitely. You

841
00:40:33,722 --> 00:40:36,602
know, I think it's. For me, it's just really working

842
00:40:36,602 --> 00:40:39,482
as a satire because I guess, you know, we. We both, like,

843
00:40:39,482 --> 00:40:42,282
watch a lot of. You know, we. We

844
00:40:42,362 --> 00:40:45,362
obviously watch a lot of tv, movies and stuff. What. You know, we

845
00:40:45,362 --> 00:40:48,162
both listen, the various podcasts

846
00:40:48,162 --> 00:40:51,162
about entertainment. Entertainment industry and stuff. So I think

847
00:40:51,162 --> 00:40:54,042
for me, it's just, it's just, I think that's why it's just like

848
00:40:54,042 --> 00:40:57,002
working because it's like all the stuff that like you,

849
00:40:57,402 --> 00:41:00,322
you, you, you see like play out on social

850
00:41:00,322 --> 00:41:03,162
media or in these discussions

851
00:41:03,162 --> 00:41:05,702
that you know, whenever, you know, if we're watching like

852
00:41:05,702 --> 00:41:08,622
Rocha and you know, Jeff Snyder, I'm talking a hot mic or some of those

853
00:41:08,622 --> 00:41:11,622
kind of things like that it to me is, I think that's

854
00:41:11,622 --> 00:41:14,622
why it's just, it's a satire is just working so, so well

855
00:41:14,622 --> 00:41:15,102
for me.

856
00:41:15,422 --> 00:41:15,732
>> Sarah : Yeah.

857
00:41:16,122 --> 00:41:19,082
>> Will: and I have those kind of. But I do have those laugh out loud moments.

858
00:41:19,732 --> 00:41:22,652
you know, not saying like I'm like chuckle fest like all 30 or

859
00:41:22,652 --> 00:41:25,492
40 minutes throughout the episode but whenever,

860
00:41:25,492 --> 00:41:28,452
whatever the moments do, whatever they, whenever they hit for me, they,

861
00:41:28,452 --> 00:41:29,572
they, they, they hit.

862
00:41:30,302 --> 00:41:30,582
>> Sarah : Yeah.

863
00:41:30,582 --> 00:41:33,582
>> Will: I'm just saying that they don't hit for you. Like you said. Maybe it's not, you

864
00:41:33,582 --> 00:41:36,582
know, it's just, you know, it's just how we just express ourselves.

865
00:41:36,582 --> 00:41:39,502
I mean because you just said it, you do find, you do find it

866
00:41:39,502 --> 00:41:40,382
humorous. It's just.

867
00:41:40,462 --> 00:41:43,142
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah, I just for

868
00:41:43,142 --> 00:41:45,781
whatever reason, it's like the fact that we all know

869
00:41:45,781 --> 00:41:48,142
you've probably cried at more movies than I have.

870
00:41:48,382 --> 00:41:51,302
>> Will: Yeah, yeah. I'm just more of a. Yeah, I just wear

871
00:41:51,302 --> 00:41:52,542
my emotions on my sleeve.

872
00:41:52,542 --> 00:41:54,462
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah, you're much more,

873
00:41:55,262 --> 00:41:58,102
you're much more easy to cry and

874
00:41:58,102 --> 00:42:01,062
laugh and me, I'm much more stubborn and it's

875
00:42:01,062 --> 00:42:04,002
like you're gonn. Okay, you

876
00:42:04,002 --> 00:42:06,682
don't get this for cheap. But

877
00:42:07,882 --> 00:42:10,642
it's just something that I

878
00:42:10,642 --> 00:42:13,602
put out there because a, we

879
00:42:13,602 --> 00:42:16,602
don't cover comedies as much as we

880
00:42:16,602 --> 00:42:19,482
cover other like dramas and

881
00:42:19,642 --> 00:42:22,562
especially genre science fiction and all

882
00:42:22,562 --> 00:42:25,382
of that kind of fantasy as well.

883
00:42:25,942 --> 00:42:28,702
So. And, and arguably I

884
00:42:28,702 --> 00:42:31,042
think, I think comedy

885
00:42:31,602 --> 00:42:34,442
is so much harder just

886
00:42:34,442 --> 00:42:37,402
because we, we all, a lot of like, we

887
00:42:37,402 --> 00:42:40,242
all grew up with the sitcoms, the 30

888
00:42:40,242 --> 00:42:42,922
minute sitcoms and that is not what this

889
00:42:42,922 --> 00:42:43,682
show is.

890
00:42:45,842 --> 00:42:48,562
It's definitely not. However, there

891
00:42:48,562 --> 00:42:51,482
is like a very, there is a familiar

892
00:42:51,482 --> 00:42:53,602
kind of almost officey,

893
00:42:54,472 --> 00:42:57,122
feel about it, where,

894
00:42:57,202 --> 00:43:00,162
where I'm glad they didn't go full documentary

895
00:43:00,562 --> 00:43:03,442
but it is a workplace comedy

896
00:43:03,682 --> 00:43:06,002
and so they,

897
00:43:06,962 --> 00:43:09,922
there is that somewhat familiarity there

898
00:43:09,922 --> 00:43:12,682
but also much more modern and

899
00:43:12,682 --> 00:43:15,602
current and as you said, satire

900
00:43:15,922 --> 00:43:18,482
about it that brings it all in.

901
00:43:19,042 --> 00:43:21,762
And so it, it's just,

902
00:43:21,762 --> 00:43:24,322
it's. And, and I would say

903
00:43:24,402 --> 00:43:27,362
like we talk about the bear, which the bear is

904
00:43:27,362 --> 00:43:30,162
coming back in just a few weeks and we will get to

905
00:43:30,322 --> 00:43:32,322
season four eventually.

906
00:43:34,952 --> 00:43:37,772
and I. The bear,

907
00:43:38,412 --> 00:43:41,332
which I always make fun of Golden Globes because

908
00:43:41,332 --> 00:43:43,652
I'm like, it's a dark

909
00:43:43,652 --> 00:43:46,572
comedy, but I'm like, it's not a comedy.

910
00:43:47,052 --> 00:43:50,052
It's not. It really? Because, yeah,

911
00:43:50,052 --> 00:43:52,852
cousin is funny, and. And there are a few

912
00:43:52,852 --> 00:43:55,372
other characters, like, funny doesn't mean

913
00:43:55,372 --> 00:43:58,332
comedy. I think the studio is more of

914
00:43:58,332 --> 00:43:59,612
a comedy than bears.

915
00:44:00,172 --> 00:44:01,532
>> Will: Oh, yeah, totally. Totally.

916
00:44:01,532 --> 00:44:03,292
>> Sarah : Yeah. Yeah, it definitely is.

917
00:44:04,012 --> 00:44:06,412
>> Will: Yeah. I mean, what if for. For next

918
00:44:06,892 --> 00:44:09,772
cycle of the Emmys. I mean, this. This show is definitely going

919
00:44:09,772 --> 00:44:12,752
to be, Will

920
00:44:12,832 --> 00:44:15,672
be in the comedy category correctly,

921
00:44:15,672 --> 00:44:18,542
and m. You know, and maybe give, Oh, gosh,

922
00:44:18,542 --> 00:44:20,022
Justin. What? The show with Gene Smart.

923
00:44:23,282 --> 00:44:26,172
yeah. Hex. Yeah. yeah, you know,

924
00:44:26,172 --> 00:44:28,612
this. This will give. Probably get. Finally give Hacks a run for the money.

925
00:44:29,492 --> 00:44:32,212
>> Sarah : Well, I mean, hacks just had it easy.

926
00:44:32,212 --> 00:44:34,772
Hacks hasn't been on air for that long. It's already.

927
00:44:35,092 --> 00:44:37,772
It's. What. How many seasons is Hackson?

928
00:44:37,772 --> 00:44:39,412
>> Will: I think it's second. Third.

929
00:44:39,972 --> 00:44:41,012
>> Sarah : I think it's third.

930
00:44:41,572 --> 00:44:42,052
>> Will: Yeah.

931
00:44:42,372 --> 00:44:45,212
>> Sarah : Which it. It only won last year because

932
00:44:45,212 --> 00:44:48,212
the bear was out of running because it had a horrible third season.

933
00:44:48,742 --> 00:44:51,702
Yeah, yeah, so. So

934
00:44:51,702 --> 00:44:54,582
the. Because it's. It's really the bear that has been

935
00:44:54,582 --> 00:44:57,542
sweeping them for the last, like, two years

936
00:44:57,702 --> 00:45:00,182
in that category. So. So.

937
00:45:02,262 --> 00:45:04,582
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, true. Yeah. I was gonna say that

938
00:45:04,982 --> 00:45:06,422
Abbott elementary is another one.

939
00:45:06,502 --> 00:45:09,302
>> Sarah : Yes. Yeah, Abbott. Abbott elementary

940
00:45:09,622 --> 00:45:11,222
is definitely up there.

941
00:45:12,652 --> 00:45:15,222
so. Which I'm glad. I think,

942
00:45:15,542 --> 00:45:18,502
over saturation, we talk about a lot and.

943
00:45:18,982 --> 00:45:21,942
Which I'm sure the studio is going to reference at some

944
00:45:21,942 --> 00:45:22,262
point,

945
00:45:26,182 --> 00:45:28,862
especially in a genre of film and

946
00:45:28,862 --> 00:45:31,782
TV that we love to talk about, so

947
00:45:32,022 --> 00:45:32,422
I.

948
00:45:32,422 --> 00:45:33,422
>> Will: Can'T wait for that one.

949
00:45:33,422 --> 00:45:36,422
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. And

950
00:45:36,422 --> 00:45:39,302
then Antony Starr shows up. That would be great,

951
00:45:41,702 --> 00:45:44,662
because, you know, I think there really needs

952
00:45:44,662 --> 00:45:47,502
to be a boys cameo. Like, not a

953
00:45:47,502 --> 00:45:50,342
full boys cameo, but just

954
00:45:50,342 --> 00:45:52,342
because of the satire of it all.

955
00:45:52,982 --> 00:45:55,742
>> Will: Yeah, Maybe. Maybe season two. Maybe either

956
00:45:55,742 --> 00:45:58,491
Antony Starr or, Or

957
00:45:58,491 --> 00:46:01,082
Eric Kripke or, Or

958
00:46:01,722 --> 00:46:04,572
even get, you know, Carl Urban, you

959
00:46:04,572 --> 00:46:05,452
know, just show up.

960
00:46:06,012 --> 00:46:07,692
>> Sarah : Right? Yeah. Yeah.

961
00:46:07,692 --> 00:46:09,212
>> Will: Those would be the three I would like to see.

962
00:46:09,752 --> 00:46:11,112
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah, yeah.

963
00:46:11,272 --> 00:46:14,192
>> Will: So Jack Clear would be too. Too easy, too

964
00:46:14,192 --> 00:46:14,632
obvious.

965
00:46:15,272 --> 00:46:17,512
>> Sarah : Yeah. So that. Well, they're probably gonna do it.

966
00:46:18,072 --> 00:46:20,752
>> Will: Yeah, yeah. I mean, the show has been renewed for a second

967
00:46:20,752 --> 00:46:21,592
season, so.

968
00:46:21,592 --> 00:46:24,552
>> Sarah : Yeah. Yeah. So it's. Whether it

969
00:46:24,552 --> 00:46:27,432
wins big awards or not, it's

970
00:46:27,512 --> 00:46:29,512
definitely gonna get a second season.

971
00:46:30,732 --> 00:46:33,652
yeah, but. But yeah, and

972
00:46:33,652 --> 00:46:36,332
we will just next week, continue with the next

973
00:46:36,592 --> 00:46:39,552
three episodes wherever they may take us.

974
00:46:39,552 --> 00:46:42,402
And, Because you wanted to move the news to the

975
00:46:42,402 --> 00:46:45,342
Bottom. you have a last

976
00:46:45,342 --> 00:46:46,942
of us season three update.

977
00:46:47,902 --> 00:46:50,751
>> Will: Yeah, just a. Just a real quick one as we, As we

978
00:46:50,751 --> 00:46:53,242
wrap up here, with news. So,

979
00:46:53,612 --> 00:46:55,832
as we. The

980
00:46:56,312 --> 00:46:59,272
last of us, the. The showrunners, and,

981
00:47:00,262 --> 00:47:02,982
Bella were at a FYC event. Since

982
00:47:02,982 --> 00:47:05,742
we're. Since we were just talking. Talking Emmys and

983
00:47:05,742 --> 00:47:08,532
whatnot. And, So, did give us a

984
00:47:08,532 --> 00:47:11,432
little, update on possible third season.

985
00:47:12,712 --> 00:47:15,592
they did confirm that it will be. Will be

986
00:47:16,232 --> 00:47:17,272
Abby's season.

987
00:47:17,912 --> 00:47:17,952
>> Sarah : yeah.

988
00:47:17,952 --> 00:47:20,812
>> Will: And. Yeah. and, you know, I think Neil

989
00:47:20,812 --> 00:47:23,572
Druckmann just basically said this past season was very hot.

990
00:47:23,572 --> 00:47:26,332
This. And this one, he said it's going to be like a wetter

991
00:47:26,332 --> 00:47:29,232
season. So I don't know what he meant by that, but I guess, you

992
00:47:29,232 --> 00:47:31,872
know, obviously it'll be telling the story from. From. From

993
00:47:31,872 --> 00:47:34,802
Abby's perspective. and he's like, you

994
00:47:34,802 --> 00:47:37,682
know, he's like. It's a more a quote. It's more of a drink

995
00:47:37,682 --> 00:47:39,842
of water season than a fire season.

996
00:47:40,322 --> 00:47:43,202
Mazen backed him up. I'm reading from an article from Vulture.

997
00:47:43,522 --> 00:47:46,402
It's a wetter season than a hotter season, and anyone who plays video

998
00:47:46,402 --> 00:47:49,202
games knows water levels are a pain in the butt. So

999
00:47:49,442 --> 00:47:51,222
I, haven't played the game, but we'll see.

1000
00:47:53,862 --> 00:47:56,702
yeah, I'm trying to see if there's any other. Other notes. I

1001
00:47:56,702 --> 00:47:59,622
mean, basically. Oh, they. Seems like the script hasn't

1002
00:47:59,622 --> 00:48:02,612
been finished yet, from the fyc, from the. From the

1003
00:48:02,612 --> 00:48:04,212
interview that I've written here.

1004
00:48:05,652 --> 00:48:08,402
but, So, yeah, it's going to be a while before. Before we get to

1005
00:48:08,402 --> 00:48:11,362
it, but as

1006
00:48:11,362 --> 00:48:14,202
we suspected. So. But yeah, that. That just.

1007
00:48:14,202 --> 00:48:17,022
That was just a little thing I just happened to see today. it

1008
00:48:17,022 --> 00:48:19,862
was, mentioned. Mentioned

1009
00:48:19,862 --> 00:48:21,222
at their fyc,

1010
00:48:23,472 --> 00:48:26,472
presentation as they are, you know, getting ramping

1011
00:48:26,472 --> 00:48:27,912
up for Emmy, nomination season.

1012
00:48:30,712 --> 00:48:32,952
>> Sarah : Yeah. Pedro's gonna get nominated.

1013
00:48:33,512 --> 00:48:36,512
Oh, probably. Probably. The show will probably get nominated.

1014
00:48:36,512 --> 00:48:39,512
I don't think it'll win. It was so controversial this

1015
00:48:39,512 --> 00:48:42,462
season. nor do I necessarily think

1016
00:48:42,462 --> 00:48:44,902
it should win. but

1017
00:48:45,782 --> 00:48:48,182
Pedro will probably win if.

1018
00:48:48,582 --> 00:48:51,302
Depending on, like, what the competition is.

1019
00:48:51,702 --> 00:48:52,182
>> Will: Yeah.

1020
00:48:52,402 --> 00:48:55,172
>> Sarah : but I. I expect him to be nominated

1021
00:48:55,172 --> 00:48:57,812
and potentially. Potentially win.

1022
00:48:58,432 --> 00:49:01,022
yeah, Mao, that was a massive, like,

1023
00:49:01,342 --> 00:49:04,212
big giveaway. had no idea that it would be

1024
00:49:04,212 --> 00:49:04,892
Abby season.

1025
00:49:05,692 --> 00:49:08,372
>> Will: Like, well, shocking for.

1026
00:49:08,372 --> 00:49:11,242
Shocking. Not shocking for folks who have played the game,

1027
00:49:11,242 --> 00:49:14,202
but for folks who are. Who. Who

1028
00:49:14,442 --> 00:49:15,802
never have played the game.

1029
00:49:16,282 --> 00:49:19,242
>> Sarah : No, you can't. You can't say that because,

1030
00:49:19,242 --> 00:49:22,242
you know. You know that if you haven't Played the game and

1031
00:49:22,242 --> 00:49:24,922
you've watched this show and you're obsessed with this show

1032
00:49:25,162 --> 00:49:27,962
or even if this season you have

1033
00:49:28,042 --> 00:49:30,682
talked to people like Will, you

1034
00:49:30,682 --> 00:49:32,922
yourself spoiled yourself with some stuff.

1035
00:49:35,482 --> 00:49:38,302
I. I just, I'm like no, no, no.

1036
00:49:38,292 --> 00:49:41,172
I. By the end of that anybody. Regardless, it was.

1037
00:49:41,252 --> 00:49:44,252
It's pretty much you have to be

1038
00:49:44,252 --> 00:49:46,772
very low intellect to not

1039
00:49:47,652 --> 00:49:48,452
realize what.

1040
00:49:48,452 --> 00:49:51,172
>> Will: Yeah, true, true. But, but

1041
00:49:51,572 --> 00:49:53,972
the main reason why I brought it up when I saw the article

1042
00:49:54,211 --> 00:49:57,052
today, I, I really brought it up because I just have. I

1043
00:49:57,052 --> 00:49:59,812
thought back to our conversation about the show a few weeks ago

1044
00:50:00,852 --> 00:50:01,252
and.

1045
00:50:01,572 --> 00:50:03,412
>> Sarah : And will hate season two.

1046
00:50:04,502 --> 00:50:07,422
>> Will: Yeah, it's. It's. Well, I was

1047
00:50:07,422 --> 00:50:09,542
thinking more to the point how

1048
00:50:10,982 --> 00:50:13,942
I, I really. Your,

1049
00:50:13,942 --> 00:50:16,942
your, your call I think was going to be correct where that ah,

1050
00:50:16,942 --> 00:50:19,862
they should have done Abby Story Season 2 and then.

1051
00:50:20,662 --> 00:50:23,652
Yeah, and that's why I brought that up today because I was

1052
00:50:23,652 --> 00:50:26,612
just like. When I saw that I was like. I just, I just wanted, I

1053
00:50:26,612 --> 00:50:28,902
just wanted to get it on the record just like

1054
00:50:29,302 --> 00:50:32,042
that. I, think you're right that

1055
00:50:32,282 --> 00:50:35,162
I said it maybe I m even may have said a couple weeks back,

1056
00:50:35,162 --> 00:50:37,802
but definitely just wanted to reiterate that

1057
00:50:37,962 --> 00:50:40,882
you're right. I think they, when they. When all is said and

1058
00:50:40,882 --> 00:50:43,842
done, we'll. Whenever we look back on this, on

1059
00:50:43,842 --> 00:50:46,722
the series, we'll say

1060
00:50:46,722 --> 00:50:49,642
that they made a misstep by not having Abby's story

1061
00:50:49,642 --> 00:50:50,682
first in season two.

1062
00:50:51,482 --> 00:50:54,212
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah. And. And

1063
00:50:54,212 --> 00:50:56,772
that. That's. I think that's

1064
00:50:57,012 --> 00:50:59,652
arguably regardless of how season

1065
00:50:59,652 --> 00:51:02,052
three even goes. But

1066
00:51:03,012 --> 00:51:05,972
I see why they did it. They just. For whatever reason

1067
00:51:05,972 --> 00:51:08,972
they made so many more creative choices in

1068
00:51:08,972 --> 00:51:11,412
season one that

1069
00:51:11,732 --> 00:51:14,612
for what. For some reason they stuck

1070
00:51:14,932 --> 00:51:17,492
way too much to the script in season two

1071
00:51:18,382 --> 00:51:20,782
and there was arguably not as much

1072
00:51:20,862 --> 00:51:23,862
creativity which led to kind

1073
00:51:23,862 --> 00:51:26,702
of a. And. And

1074
00:51:26,942 --> 00:51:29,662
arguably the first

1075
00:51:30,062 --> 00:51:32,902
game had less of

1076
00:51:32,902 --> 00:51:35,622
a controversial opinion. It's more

1077
00:51:35,622 --> 00:51:38,542
beloved than the second game. So you

1078
00:51:38,542 --> 00:51:40,862
would have thought they would have

1079
00:51:41,182 --> 00:51:43,982
made more creative choices with the second game

1080
00:51:43,982 --> 00:51:46,982
considering the feedback that the game players

1081
00:51:47,142 --> 00:51:49,302
had. M. So

1082
00:51:49,782 --> 00:51:52,502
I, I don't know. But then again

1083
00:51:52,502 --> 00:51:54,662
I, I mean at the end of the day

1084
00:51:55,302 --> 00:51:58,062
the creatives behind this show in this

1085
00:51:58,062 --> 00:52:00,982
game, like they are really.

1086
00:52:00,982 --> 00:52:03,902
I'm not saying they are stupid. They are very creative

1087
00:52:03,902 --> 00:52:06,262
and very talented people.

1088
00:52:07,462 --> 00:52:09,942
I just don't know why.

1089
00:52:10,982 --> 00:52:13,722
Why they didn't make sense some choices that they did.

1090
00:52:13,722 --> 00:52:16,562
And once you think about it

1091
00:52:16,562 --> 00:52:19,322
and realize how this could have

1092
00:52:19,322 --> 00:52:21,962
gone if they had just swapped the

1093
00:52:21,962 --> 00:52:22,722
perspectives

1094
00:52:24,882 --> 00:52:27,762
like, like it. Arguably

1095
00:52:28,082 --> 00:52:30,322
it. It could make a better story. But

1096
00:52:30,802 --> 00:52:33,742
we We shall see. We're still on board with

1097
00:52:33,742 --> 00:52:34,462
it. It's just.

1098
00:52:34,462 --> 00:52:34,982
>> Will: Oh, yeah.

1099
00:52:34,982 --> 00:52:37,862
>> Sarah : Oh, yeah, yeah. And who knows? His hiatus,

1100
00:52:37,862 --> 00:52:40,822
the fact that the third season hasn't even been fully

1101
00:52:40,822 --> 00:52:42,542
written. I'm like, what are you guys doing?

1102
00:52:44,362 --> 00:52:47,162
So much time to write seasons two and three.

1103
00:52:47,802 --> 00:52:50,402
>> Will: Yeah. And Kate, Deborah's like, engaged. She's

1104
00:52:50,402 --> 00:52:53,402
filming Godzilla, a Godzilla movie right now. So, you

1105
00:52:53,402 --> 00:52:56,202
know, so it's gonna. Yeah. So again,

1106
00:52:56,282 --> 00:52:59,002
it'll be like, you know, 20, 30 by the time we get the third season.

1107
00:52:59,562 --> 00:53:02,282
>> Sarah : Oh, no, no. That's when the next Spider man

1108
00:53:02,282 --> 00:53:05,242
across the universe or beyond the universe, we're gonna get. We're

1109
00:53:05,242 --> 00:53:07,562
gonna get season three of the Last of Us before that.

1110
00:53:07,882 --> 00:53:08,562
Trust me.

1111
00:53:08,562 --> 00:53:09,002
>> Will: Yeah.

1112
00:53:11,542 --> 00:53:14,462
>> Sarah : All right, well, on that note, Will, why don't you tell our listeners where they

1113
00:53:14,462 --> 00:53:15,222
can find you?

1114
00:53:15,942 --> 00:53:18,742
