Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, My Mom's Basement listeners, you can find our episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube, and Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Hello and welcome to My Mom's Basement, presented by Barstool Sports. It is Robbie, Fox, and Clem back for another Penguin Recap edition of My Mom's Basement. I'm coming to you from Scotland today. First time ever I'm doing My Mom's Basement from here, a little international brogue for you. I can't do a Scottish brogue really, I can't do the's basement from here a little international broke for you. I can't do a Scottish broke really I can't do the accent. It's a little hard to understand people. We just got here today, but Clem how we doing? It's Bob Fox from across the pond. I mean I'm doing like six different accents in one there
Starting point is 00:00:35 I'm kind of lumping Ireland Scotland England putting them all together right there So welcome welcome Robbie to the domestic side of things for the next hour with me here pal Yeah, everyone over here is talking like groundskeeper Willie and it's kind of awesome But I'm here for a little vacation We did London for a few days. We're in Scotland now and then we're gonna go to Italy for my fiance's friend's wedding This has been like planned way in advance way before Joker 2 was announced. So I'm sorry We don't have a Joker 2 review for you. Doesn't seem like we missed much though from the reviews and everything I've read.
Starting point is 00:01:10 It's not even a movie that I'm like dying to see. Everyone that listens to this knows my thoughts on the first one and even the way they were talking about the second one but that will come give us like 10 days I'll go see the movie and I don't know if you're gonna see it or if you just want me to explain it to you like I explained Agatha to you. That is exactly what I'm going to ask you to do. I was going to ask you to do that regardless. And then when I saw the reviews coming and I was like, I definitely need that to happen. And people are saying, I can't wait to hear Robbie
Starting point is 00:01:38 explain the movie or you know, the review to you. We won't spoil the movie obviously. And I was like, ah, I again, I have even seen Joker one. I was going to watch Joker one at some point in the last couple months. And I found out it's kind of like sad or like depressing. Would you say? So depressed, couldn't be more depressing. It doesn't clash well with the Clem brain. I don't think. Yeah. And I was not in the mood for depressing at that point. So I'm definitely not in the mood for it right now. I have fucking Met's baseball in my mind and every day I go between
Starting point is 00:02:10 Ecstasy to depression so I don't need that in my life anymore than it already is here Yeah, I do owe you an apology for that stool scenes clip that was tough But also I didn't know you were in the cave in that clip So I came out of the doing a podcast with Ken Jack and Gooch saw that the Mets had just tied the game and I was like, Oh, it would be funny if they lost just because it's a typical Mets thing. And then I saw you in the cave and I was like, ah, it's tough. I'm a Yankees fan who doesn't like the Mets, but I like you and Clemmer and KFC. I like all the Mets fans at Barstool enough where it's like I kind of do like to see him succeed at this point
Starting point is 00:02:45 I hate but I do you're also a Barstool content guy You know, the best card content is when someone gets their soul ripped from them That was the I I put that as like Dave's influence on you over the years that was the side of you talking there I there was a chance when you sent the link to this podcast. I just wasn't gonna answer it and You're you're overseas and it's not as much fun Cuz then you'd be trying to figure out if it's sad like I it just wasn't worth it So I'm gonna get you back at the moment you least expect it. That's what I'm gonna do. Okay my return sir fair enough I mean you you sort of did get me back with the text you sent me
Starting point is 00:03:22 I almost had to send you the Drake and Josh you take that that back when you said, I sure hope Oasis doesn't break up today. I was like, wow. I hope they don't, Bob. I sure hope Oasis doesn't break up, especially while you're over there. That would be a real shame, Bob. So I really hope what a nice friend I am to hope that they don't break up that, you know, they, you know, one of them, they went to the Jets game and they got in a drunken fight in the third quarter for some, it would be a real shame.
Starting point is 00:03:48 Yeah, you already bought the tickets. You already have like three pockets with the Nate Dogg. It would be a real shame if they were to break. And I promise I will not send every story about any reported tiff between them from now until the show. I promise I won't do that because it would be a real shame. A real shame. Me and Nate got tickets to the MetLife show too, so we're kicking off our summer in Cardiff, Wales, and then we're ending the summer in Jersey with Oasis. It's the summer of Oasis, the summer of the Gallagher Brothers. I can't wait. Does Nate realize that bad things happen to him every time he goes to a concert, he breaks his foot or some girls go somewhere, there's just like crazy shit, like he's trying to
Starting point is 00:04:23 die. This is like watching a final destination movie so the bad thing something bad will happen overseas and then when we come back when you guys come when they cover the states that will be the murder that will be the death of the nate dog and listen i'm apologizing now i should have apologized earlier i know the voice is bad i streamed i think four times in a week last week and it was absolute chaos Anyone who's not doesn't follow baseball the med stuff the meds did like a go-ahead home run in the eighth inning in Philly Or night better than ninth inning and I had no energy to like celebrate Just hug James's head because it's been such a nut and I'm getting sicker every single time
Starting point is 00:05:03 I do this and I was at the point now where I like I think I'm gonna just Eye in my sleep. I don't want to say that don't want to put it out there But i'm starting to get worried so i'm gonna sound like this at least for this episode And if these fuckers just keep winning i'm gonna sound like If you're a borstal fan, I think you get it I think you understand the intensity of the Mets dreams that are going on right now. The snip snap of the last game. It was just, they took the lead. They lost the lead. They took the lead. They lost the lead. It was crazy.
Starting point is 00:05:34 But before we get into the penguin. Oh, that was the other thing. Yeah. Oh, it looks like a guy from the star Wars bar. They said about all the Mets fans at Barstool That was a decent line But then when I heard him going at you a little bit I had to tweak the Inglorious Masters gif where I was like if I need to crack some skulls, I'll crack some skulls They said I was the third boob person from total recall. I'm like idiots. That's different than Star Wars It's not even the same cinematic universe. What kind of idiots don't know that losers fucking lose Before we even get into the penguin and the little Agatha all along recap at the end,
Starting point is 00:06:09 we didn't talk about the Thunderbolts trailer and I did get a couple tweets about that. What did you think of the trailer? We talked about our thoughts kind of in general about the concept and what it seemed like, how it seemed like kind of a Marvel Suicide Squad type deal. Now that we've seen the trailer, how do we feel? I thought it was pretty good. I feel, I feel actually excited for the movie. I think my biggest thought about it going in that we had when we had last talked about it was I am not excited for this movie.
Starting point is 00:06:39 I am going to see it and I'm going to be like, this is one of the projects that was greenlit before they said no more bullshit getting you know sent to the screens and it kind of flipped me up flipped it on its head that being said this is exactly what trailers are made for us to make everything look awesome however we also did think there was you know some good in it and to quote uh Luke Skywalker right so I felt like there was some good in it and if they extracted that goodness and there's more inside then hey maybe we have ourselves a I mean I'm still looking at the ceiling of this movie the ceiling is like 3.5 balls but it's better than really I think
Starting point is 00:07:18 stealing could be a four four I could be yeah the trailer cinematography the way they were using the pixies the Slowed down whereas my mind it was so cool and just even seeing like stuff like Bucky taking his arm out of the dishwasher I was like I'm so fucking in on this people also think Bucky might be brainwashed in this movie because the couple shots we see is using the the metal arm and when he's Bucky He's usually not using the metal. He's like a he's using the metal arm, and when he's bucky, he's usually not using the metal. He's like, he's using his normal arm, lefty or righty. It depends on whether or not he's brainwashed. So that would be very interesting.
Starting point is 00:07:53 We got John Walker back, who Wyatt Russell is fucking incredible. I'd like to see him get a lot of shine in this movie. David Hopper from Stranger Things, back as Yelena's dad, obviously. Florence Pugh, Yelena seems to be like the main character. Also Julia Louis-Dreyfus, we love her. Evil Nick Fury at this point. Yeah, I'm down for Thunderbolts. I think right now I have a four ball ceiling on it.
Starting point is 00:08:16 You know what, I'll give you four ball ceiling because like the, what is it John Walker, what is that his name? Yeah. Like I'm like, oh yeah yeah like if they do that character right they can make that can make this movie really interesting and then some of the action scenes and whose century is uh I think one of the characters and people are sentry ghost from Ant-Man and the Wasp yep ghost some villains that were like why didn't they use these people better right so yeah like maybe they'll use the master from Black Widow and they finally gave her a better mask. Kind of looks more like,
Starting point is 00:08:48 it's not exactly like the comic mask. I would have rather been more of a skull, but I think it is an improvement over the Black Widow mask. So I'm excited for it. The shot of, I think it's Yelena throws a knife at Ghost and she unfazes and phases in to catch it when it goes through her body. Like they did a couple of really creative action sequences in the trailer where I hope they're
Starting point is 00:09:06 not giving away everything. I hope they're not showing us the whole bag of tricks right now, but I'm excited. And also the asterisk at the end, people think they're going to be called the new Avengers by the end of the movie because everyone in the MCU right now is kind of like, hey, where's the Avengers? Where have they been since Endgame? It's just, you got a hero there, you got a hero there, you don't get a team. So that would be kind of cool as well if it's,
Starting point is 00:09:27 you know, we go into Doomsday and it's the new Avengers meet the Avengers, meet the Fantastic Four, mixing some X-Men. You can really start to build towards that culmination here, I think. Yep, yep, I agree. And I did have the same worry about you, where I'm like, I feel like they're showing us
Starting point is 00:09:42 the whole movie right now. And then they're like, whatever, people are gonna go see the movie, we're just gonna show it here and then maybe they're gonna think they're more and we'll get the people in the theater and that's all that matters. So tip of the cap, no matter what it is,
Starting point is 00:09:51 but yeah, it has some legit excitement right now, which is all I could ask. Would you say you're more excited for this or Cap? Ooh, good question. I think Cap, but I think the whole factor of that is Harrison Ford for me. Like I think me seeing Harrison Ford as the Red Hulk has sent it over the edge where I'm like, I gotta see this shit. Yeah, because that is the thing. Like it's not your Cap at this point, right? So it's
Starting point is 00:10:17 it's not going for him. But Harrison Ford, Red Hulk could be cool. But based on trailers, this might have pulled Thunderbolts a little bit ahead for me And again, I'm not really all that excited about cap And so maybe they just pump out their own trailer that fucking has everyone geeking out. So I guess we'll see Now let's get into the penguin episode 3 Continues being Gotham City Sopranos as we've called it the past two weeks. We get more vibes of that What were your general thoughts on episode 3 this weekend? We get more vibes of that. What were your general thoughts on episode three this weekend? Uh, I'm Still still still cranking along man. It's still a standalone show that works
Starting point is 00:10:52 Obviously if you see the batman everything makes a lot more sense, especially the you know first scene Um, but I am very excited. Uh at like 11 o'clock every morning Not every morning on sunday morning. I always go like, oh yeah, there's a Penguin tonight, and I get excited about it. So that is definitely gonna be the case next Sunday because this Sunday was more of the same and the deal with the damn thing, man. It just hits different when it's an HBO show
Starting point is 00:11:18 that nine o'clock Sunday night show you have in your back pocket. And I was getting home after the mainstream basically right at nine and I was like, oh hell yeah, I'm going right into penguin when I get home. So I was stoked. How about you? Oh, I loved it as well. I think it's still keeping that Sunday night HBO quality. Like you said, when you put a Sunday night HBO show out there, we expect big things and they're three for three so far. This was another one where I've been really praising Sophia Falcone, Kristen Miani, whatever her last name is. I've been praising her performance and she is
Starting point is 00:11:49 amazing in this. This episode, I feel like Colin Farrell really shined. He got to show some emotion that he hasn't really showed before. We got some teases of Sofia's backstory maybe not being what we think it is. A lot of stuff with Vic where Vic is getting better as the series goes on, I think. I think he's gotten a lot better from even episode one acting wise. And he's just put in these situations where again, I don't mean to sound like a broken record, but it feels like Sopranos are breaking bad where every week the characters have to dig themselves out of a hole. I mean, this episode, not to spoil, you know, the
Starting point is 00:12:21 ending, it was kind of a breaking bad ending. They kind of redid the run. One of the great endings of the show. Yes. So I absolutely loved it. Like you mentioned, them opening the episode with a flashback of election day, when you see the election Bella Real posters on the floor. Real change.
Starting point is 00:12:41 Which is a sick campaign slogan. That's a sick campaign slogan. It is. And we know what happens on election day when he brings Gabriella up to the roof. It's like, ooh, shit. I think we're about to see the bombs go off and they show it.
Starting point is 00:12:56 I was wondering, are they gonna show us the bombs go off or is it gonna be like, we're just supposed to know that happens and we'll hear it? They show it maybe more than they showed us in the Batman. Like the bridge collapsing and shit was insane. Crazy visuals, the poor kid loses his family who we learned a little bit about. Like his dad was really trying to keep him off the streets,
Starting point is 00:13:17 like into the right hands and just wasn't able to. The flood just looked terrifying from the intro, but another, they're three for three on the way they're starting it like the cold opens for them. The penguin are awesome Yeah, so with Oz we're starting to realize how Oz is a guy who just Closed his way to the top we're also realizing he is no fucking loyalty and it's gonna make us hate him I think when it's all said and done because you can tell with Sophia He has the past with her him and Vic have those back and forth kind of just like I'm just loving this Vic I just he just such he just has soft eyes
Starting point is 00:13:50 I just want everything good to happen him and you just feel like it's not gonna be that way and Sophia She is so fucking cold But then our boy fucking Oz after they kind of like make up he just ditches her after fucking we get our little breaking Bad moment it is nuts but yeah so that opening scene there I was like putting in my notes so I have to I got a little confused because I was kind of like I was just shot from the day and uh I started up and I was like I was like oh they were they're walking over the Real Change things and I'm like oh that must have been from a few days ago so it's still on the streets and then the sisters wearing guy voted today sticker which is telling
Starting point is 00:14:30 you it's election day I'm thinking oh she's still wearing her sticker from the other day and I even wrote I wrote I appreciate how realistic his apartment is it's not this like it's not a poor bird's apartment where it's like there's cockroaches and there's like nothing in the refrigerator but a fucking like baking soda it feels like a poor bird's apartment where it's like there's cockroaches and there's like nothing in the refrigerator But a fucking like baking soda it feels like a family that's struggling but trying and like They have like real conversations and it's like the dad fucking loves cooking and because it's kind of like hey take these little shortcuts and he's like no and like
Starting point is 00:14:59 Raising a kid until he doesn't want him to go once I bring the girl over and I don't know man I just thought it was it was a really cool thing and then I'm thinking like oh well we'll see them again soon and turns out we won't I don't know if this is offensive to the people of Crown Point is it yep I think so yeah that bomb scene was what they call cinema that was it was incredible and they set me up again I was thinking it was like I thought the Riddlers are being thrown in jail. We have all this shit happen and then I said, oh fuck. This is election day and I hook line and sinker. They got me and in the crate, it was crazy
Starting point is 00:15:35 seeing the, like you said, the bridges go down, the cars go down, the people just getting consumed by the water and it's just like, man, you just think about the impact and the fucked up shit the realtor did. It really did a better job hammering home how fucked up that shit was than the movie made it seem. And I don't know if that movie- Yes, neither from his point of view, for sure. Yeah, his was more the grand scale of the plan,
Starting point is 00:15:59 you know, in the movie. Where here, it's like, these are the people that were impacted, right? Vic in particular. And I love that shit in comic book movies. when you show us the perspective of just a normal person in that city It's to a lesser extent but the beginning of Batman versus Superman I'm actually gonna praise the Zack Snyder scene here is awesome because they show you the ending fight for Man of Steel from the ground and it's from Bruce Wayne's perspective and while everyone else is running away
Starting point is 00:16:24 He's running into it, but it just really like puts you in the middle of that chaos and you feel it the same way with this scene. You learn a little bit about Gabriella, his girl that he's been texting or worried about in the previous two episodes, a little Robbie Fox lore for the people out there, a little Robbie Fox history.
Starting point is 00:16:39 If I was a girl, that would have been my name. Mama Fox, Gabriella was the girl name for me. So when I see that name, kind of like, oh, that could have been my name. Mama Fox Gabriella was the girl name for me. So when I see that name kind of like, Oh, that could have been me. I think I knew my girl name at one point. I forgot what it was. My sister, I think was going to be Andrea and she just, when came out, she looked like a Nicole. So I don't think I was going to be an Andrea or Nicole, but I have to think about it. But that is a good fun fact about a boy, Bob. When you started saying Andrea, I thought you're gonna say Oz. I thought you were gonna say your sister's name was gonna be Oz. Hey, hey doll.
Starting point is 00:17:10 So someone texted me, someone DM'd me, like we got a broad right off the bat and we got a doll as well. So like we need to get all the old like 40s slang words for girls and we definitely checked a few off the bingo card today. It's not from Penguin, but we get a honey from Johnny Viti. He calls Sophia honey at one point. I was like, oh, bad move, Johnny Viti. You're going to regret that. Also, Sophia with an F confirmed. Sophia with an F is confirmed.
Starting point is 00:17:36 So, yeah, she's don't fuck with her. She's a bad, bad bitch. She just fumbles the bag. We see a bag fumbler. Oh, my God. Yeah. We see Oz confirm that he is working with Sofia pretty much until the Falcons take her out. He invites Victor over the apartment right away.
Starting point is 00:17:52 And he's like, so are you guys partners now? He's like, yeah, until the Falcons realize what's going on. And then they're going to take her out for us. And we're going to be in a great spot. Like you said, no real loyalty. He's sort of showing it to Sofia. She sees through it a little bit for sure. It's like an interesting dynamic
Starting point is 00:18:08 where he thinks he's getting one over on her and she's like, I'm a lot smarter than you. Like you're definitely not. But he gives Vic a thousand dollars a week and has that nice scene where he's like really being nice to him and being warm to him. And there's like another, there's another huge scene like this in the show show in this episode in particular
Starting point is 00:18:26 Every time I can't even like I can't like it because I know what fucking mobsters are like from watching the Sopranos now They're gonna lull you into this sense of like wow what a good guy He's really looking out for his guy and then when the time comes he's gonna cut him loose like that This was the first episode where I started having those thoughts in my head come out at different moments. And I was just like, fuck, Vic, just get on the train, get the place, you got your little like startup money and just get the fuck out of the life before it kills you. And yeah, it's happening.
Starting point is 00:18:58 I, and I just looked this up too. I looked up are penguins loyal? Thinking maybe penguins are known as like not loyal creatures and it's almost a derogatory name. Apparently they are some of the most loyal creatures on the planet. So that's tough. I knew that actually from March of the Penguins. It was like a movie. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Like an educational kind of thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember that from when I was a kid. Great scene though where Sophia is led in by Vic while Oz is taking a phone call with Moroni
Starting point is 00:19:27 in the other room and Vic is just awkward as ever. All three episodes, he's had a scene where it's just like, oh, this poor motherfucker. He's not built for this Gotham City mobster life. Sophia's giving him shit about not being able to work the lighter, right? He's stuttering and he can't explain that he has a stutter and it's not just nervousness.
Starting point is 00:19:43 That's like such a common theme with him throughout this episode with the cop later on. It's the same exact thing. And Sophia doesn't want him coming. So she's like, oh yeah, like we don't need you Vic. It's just me and Oz. Then he, this motherfucker calls Gabriella invites her over Oz's apartment.
Starting point is 00:20:00 Insane comfortability from just the thousand dollars a week that made him feel comfortable like that. I don't know, but that made from just the thousand dollars a week that made him feel comfortable like that. I don't know but that made me nervous. That was a wild move. I mean, you'd think the penguin would have a ring or something too at his place.
Starting point is 00:20:13 So, it's like he knows some random girl and it is money. That's a great thing. It's a it's a it's a hoochie mama. We'll go with a more more updated term. That's a little crazy. Not knowing that it's like a legit girlfriend it
Starting point is 00:20:24 seems. So, a wild move bar boy vik but like kind of shows a little bit of balls off too right like yeah it does and i like penguin when he left he was like if you do something stupid i'll sense it he slams the door um and then the first couple times you leave them all alone it's like make him nervous right yeah yeah it's like santa's always watching i know it's like if you go on that black box. Yeah It's like Santa's always watching. I Know if you go on that black box and you turn on the board channels, I'll know I'll knock I remember when I was like babysitting people and they'd say like we can look to see what channels have been on I was like, I wasn't gonna look at anything. I swear why the fuck would I want to do that? You know watching your kids, but it was like I'll always remember I'm like, why the fuck would you say to a kid?
Starting point is 00:21:03 I'm not gonna like if anything anything, if wrestling's done, I'll turn on a wrestling pay-per-view. It was nuts. So yeah, good way to scare the kids straight. Well done, Oz. And then we get Sophia given some jewels in exchange for a drug from Arkham. And we don't really know what it is at first.
Starting point is 00:21:18 She brings Oz back and it's mushrooms. It's these weird looking mushrooms with, they said like bleeding mushrooms or something. They have red drops on the top of them. I initially thought they were just like putting drops on top of mushroom caps. And that was the drug. But it's a whole new thing. It's called bliss or that's at least the name that Oz comes up with for it. And they were giving it to Arkham inmates to calm them down and keep them sedated basically. But they're like it's the best drug drug and they gotta find the distributor for it where this is their new kind of venture.
Starting point is 00:21:47 This is the story of the episode. Who can we find to distribute it? Sophia's like, hey Oz, you know everyone in Gotham, right? Why don't you find me a name? And it's interesting because he finds her a name of the Triads. And we heard a little bit about the Triads in the past, but now it feels like they're really like
Starting point is 00:22:03 expanding this Gotham world in a way that we really only see in like video games and comics where you get the different factions and you start to learn their dynamic and their history with each other. I really liked all that shit. Like I'm a nerd for Gotham City mob stories, even like in Spider-Man and the Spider-Man PS4 game, you're dealing with like Kingpin's mob and Mr. Negative's mob, and it's like multiple bad guy factions at war with each other.
Starting point is 00:22:31 I think that shit's great. It's funny you say that too, because when you were mentioning that, I was thinking how, and I think they're in Grand Theft Auto, and I don't even know what the triads are. The triads are real, right? Like there's a triad's gang or something.
Starting point is 00:22:42 I think so. I've heard about it forever. It's like in Grand Theft Auto when a new letter appears on the map And it's like oh, yeah, I said I gotta go deal That's like it's like we've got a couple new letters the last couple episodes here on the map of the penguin universe And the triads are not one of them and like you said if I remember like in the game They're warring with you. They start shooting at your car. We went through their neighborhoods and stuff like that. Yep, pretty funny Oh, it's all gonna probably just flesh out
Starting point is 00:23:05 here in the coming weeks. The Triads are real. A Triad is a Chinese transnational organized crime syndicate based in greater China with outposts all over the world. Interesting. And their logo, I'm looking at their logo right now. It's basically the Mortal Kombat logo. If people is- Whoa!
Starting point is 00:23:23 That's awesome. It's pretty sick to be honest. I don't mean to find out, you basically are bored into a part of like most other Mafia is it's something of a lifestyle. If you're bored in a part of Hong Kong with that is triad heavy once you get to a teenager you pulled into the life. I thought I read something about incense or something like that which felt like a weird thing. You have to be invited to tennis or ceremony performed by an incense master and then pay a joining fee whose amount accords to a mystic goal triad number. If you have good martial arts skills,
Starting point is 00:24:09 you could become a red hall to defend, expand against territory. If your skills are verbal negotiation, you can become a paper fan for the same purposes. If you have no other value, the triads might employ you as a straw sandal messenger slash delivery boy. So I have a chance for the paper fan more than likely.
Starting point is 00:24:26 Yeah. Straw sandal is my future in triads. Unbelievable. You learn a little history here on my mom's basement this week. Every day is a school day. And that was on Purora. So you're listening to everything. You're completely wrong for the record.
Starting point is 00:24:36 Yeah. We have, yeah. We have no idea if any of that was true. Allegedly, allegedly, allegedly. Yes, yes, allegedly. Um, so when Gabriella comes over the apartment, she tells him, I'm going to California. I want you to come.
Starting point is 00:24:47 We don't have families anymore. And he's terrified of what Oz would do. And he's almost saying too much already with Gabriella where he's like, I've seen some things I'm not supposed to see. It's like, maybe don't like bring her into this. Don't make her know things that she's not supposed to know. So then you were putting her in danger.
Starting point is 00:25:06 I thought, um, but he basically tells her, all right, I'll do it. He breaks off a couple of hundreds that Oz gave her. He's like, buy me a train ticket. I'll meet you at the, or the, uh, bus ticket. I'll meet you at the bus station. And at the same time they go to, uh, Johnny Viti. He tells Sophia, take a fucking hint and gives her a plane ticket and like a two-day ultimatum Where he's like either go to italy or i'm gonna tell people that's where you went
Starting point is 00:25:31 johnny veedy, I don't know where this guy's balls come from because he's like he's one of the biggest assholes on the show so far And he's like He's just the under boss. He's the under guy So it's like I don't know where where this guy got his confidence, but it's gonna gonna come crumbling down and already sort of is this episode. Yeah, when we first met him. I thought he was a Falcone. So I'm like, alright, he's carry carries himself like a Falcone. Yeah, he's not a Falcone.
Starting point is 00:25:57 You know what Sophia Falcone is a Falcone. So this Johnny Viti guy can fucking take a long walk off a short pier. I am not a fan and I he were He's gonna be I think the good death we get the one we enjoy. Yeah, you know, I'll be like, I hope so. Yeah, you know, that's what I think is gonna happen. It's gonna be Sophia that does it. I'm starting to also like penguin give me a notice. I noticed this week and it's something that like has been in the back of my mind, but I really thought about this week. Sophia and Selena Kyle, Catwoman or half sisters. That's kind of interesting if they want to go into that at any point, like I would like them to keep her alive at least and see some kind of interaction between those two be very cool. Yeah, I that is something that I after rewatching the Batman, I kind of started putting things together because the choking Carmine was a choker. Yeah, which was he the hangman? That's the thing is this episode makes us think she is not the hangman and she got set up by Oz and Carmine and she took the fall.
Starting point is 00:26:57 Is it Alberto? Is it Luca? Is it Johnny V someone in the Falcone family is the hangman and she took the fall and that's already an interesting theory which I didn't see that coming at all. Like I I believe that she was the hangman for sure. Oh yeah. I prior to this billion percent I would have in the if I was in the jury not a hung jury. Get it. Oh nice. That's pretty good. Vic is rehearsing his speech to Oz which is very funny was in it when he's in the car And he's just saying it over and over again Oz
Starting point is 00:27:29 I think whatever and they Oz brings him to the first potential distributor link tie with the triads gang They tell link they've got the support of Johnny VD. They shit all over Luca and he wants proof He's like you need you need a call from Johnny Viti for me to believe this. I don't believe anything you say Oz. You're a classic bullshitter. You've bullshitted me in the past. You owe me money coming into this.
Starting point is 00:27:53 So, you know, Oz is, they almost treat them like a Han Solo or something. Yes. You're a scumbag, dude. Like you've gotten one over on us. How many times? Um, and in the, in the scene, they tell Link, we have the support, you're gonna get the phone call, trust us.
Starting point is 00:28:10 And he's like, okay. It was a good back and forth with the son too, because they wanna call the father and let him know. And it's like, everyone's almost like going over each other's heads. Like, I'll go to the boss, I'll call your boss. How about that? The fact that, like said they always they treat Penguin like Han Solo I guarantee right now I'm calling it October 7th he'll be called a scoundrel at some point in the next like
Starting point is 00:28:37 three episodes because he has that and you just all these old stories about what he did with slimy movie pulled and it's all Han Solo kind of shit That's a great comparison, Bob. I loved the restaurant scene referenced it before a little bit where Oz is standing up for Vic and his stutter when he can't get The steak freaks out. He's like hey, don't do that. Let him finish and he tells Vic like don't put up with that shit And it's such a fatherly scene. He's asking about his father. He does a toast to his father. He's asking about his family. Like he really cares about him. Like he's really proud of him. You're starting to feel this connection and you're like, Oh fuck,
Starting point is 00:29:12 they're going to have Oz fucking murder this guy at some point. Aren't they? I think they are. You think they are? Yeah, I think they are. I think that would be such a, it'd be such a motherfucker. Like it, you need to remind us by the end of the penguin and going into Batman 2 you need to remind us that he's a bad guy That we shouldn't be rooting for you're talking about Vic I'm talking about Vic getting killed by Oz. Okay, I thought you'd talk about killing the waiter. I was like that
Starting point is 00:29:39 Oh, no, no, not the waiter. No, no. Yeah. No, I'm with you I met before is when I said he's I I'm like, Vic, just run away. This is bad news, man. It's for you right now. Because he really is building it up and he's like, he's taking him under his wing, a little Bangwood joke again. I never know what to do if someone has a stutter.
Starting point is 00:29:56 Like, I never know if I should finish the sentence, just keep nodding till they get it out. I just try to like, just let them do their thing. And I didn't think what the waiter did was that wrong, but I could understand like Penguin does not take kindly that shit man. He was I kind of like this respect. He doesn't put up with it I mean we learned that in the first five minutes of the show and we learned it again this week with Johnny VD in the bed Can you imagine how much? Penguin loved when cheaters nephew did the respect that he must have fucking came
Starting point is 00:30:24 Cheaters nephew did the respect hat he must have fucking games Yeah, he definitely that's right. There's what it's all about kids a little respect for number two He definitely Yankee fan always the biggest Yankee fan ever fucking Oz. Yeah, you fucking mother fuckers I hope the Ft put it on me last week in the game. Fair enough. You guys are gonna run through it. You guys are, you have three teams that beat up on the White Sox this year in the AL. That's all that's left in the playoffs.
Starting point is 00:30:52 A joke. Goddamn joke. I don't know. The Mets do seem like they got the magic going on. We'll see if Dave's magic reverses it, but yeah, we'll see. Oz corners Tina, who is VD's mistress, Luca's wife, girlfriend, whatever. I think she's related to Luca in some way
Starting point is 00:31:12 because that's what the black male has to do with it. Those pictures were in this or the Batman? When we found out about those pictures, they were this, right? This, yes. And they're trying to hold those from the Batman and everything. Because there's a lot of pictures in the Batman
Starting point is 00:31:23 that came out. There's a lot of pictures of the Batman, but those were characters that were actually in the Batman. Yeah. He gets the room key, ambushes them during sex, and that's a funny scene too, where they just walk in mid-sex and trying to feed each other. He's like, Jesus Christ. Sophie is like, hey, don't forget your panties. The way she's talking down to her and everything is great. And as soon as he starts disrespecting Oz and laughing at him and calling him the penguin and we all just laugh keep you around like that I thought there was a chance he was going to pull out the gun just like he did to Alberto and Sofia was going to maybe put two and two together.
Starting point is 00:31:54 No he just shoves a phone down his throat puts a phone to the back of his throat like it's like a bar of soap and he just cursed in a Christmas story it was a crazy move. I first of all his nose pliers is ripping teeth out from him. I didn't know what was going on. And I was thinking the same thing about was like, temper is going to explode. His head's going to explode and we're going to have another Alberto situation. She's going to put them all together. So I wonder if that hot temper is going to be the thing that gets him found out about something down the road by Sophia who hasn't been sus on him since day one.
Starting point is 00:32:28 After that we do get the phone call like Johnny Vee, he does make the call and they make the deal and they start unloading the drops at the nightclub where Vic is the bag man, they've got a bunch of girls distributing drops bringing him back money and Oz tells him like, listen, I'm trusting you to do this. I think you can do it listen I'm trusting you to do this I think you can do it I'm proud of you again he's trying to build his guy up and there was a great line too where Sophia reminds Oz she's like let me just remind you who Zao is here to see it's me not my former driver and the way she throws that former driver in his face was like a dagger. That was
Starting point is 00:33:03 throws that former driver in his face was like a dagger. That was, you can't say she threw a dick on the table. She threw her ovaries on the table. She put the ovaries and it was like boom, or the tits or whatever you wanna put as, you know, good Lord, that was such a fucking line. That was such a thing. And that's also where she implies that Oz maybe did something to put her in jail for the first time.
Starting point is 00:33:23 And he's like, no, I didn't. That was, that was so long ago. I don't even remember. Like he was, yeah, he was, he was snaking his way out of it. Like he snakes his way out of everything. Um, Gabriella is trying to get in touch with Vic the whole night, but he's the bag man. He eventually gets like PTSD to the night of the explosions. The way they shot that very well done in the nightclub. You could kind of imagine like loud noises,
Starting point is 00:33:45 fucking someone up that went through that something like that. And he drops vials everywhere eventually picks them all up and it's okay. Once the triads are in Oz goes into the bathroom to tell Vic, I'm proud of you, you did it. We did it. We're in you know, the partnership is on. And the phone buzzes on the sink. And as soon as it does, Oz is like, let me see it. Gives him the phone. He's like, what are you trying to go somewhere? You're trying to walk out on me. And he gets really emotional as emotional as
Starting point is 00:34:13 we've really seen him in the show so far or in the movie. And he's got tears in his eyes. He feels, it seems like he actually feels so betrayed. Like he really was trying to, like you said, take Vic under his wing. And he felt like he got Disrespected like mobsters do when they feel like they get disrespect. So he tells them like You don't even deserve this get out of here pulls a fucking gun on him. He brings up his father He's like what kind of man dies with nothing left behind They don't give out awards for dying in the projects
Starting point is 00:34:40 Like he was going scorched earth on Vic and Vic played it well, too He was just like he wasn't like hysterical crying but he was welling up and he was getting real emotional storms out of the bathroom. Great scene. Another one where I'm like Colin Farrell. He's definitely getting nominated for an Emmy. I don't know if he's gonna win yet
Starting point is 00:34:56 but he's definitely getting nominated. He was, he just unloaded. He had been saving those up and he just went, he let them all go at the same time. I was like Penguin save some for if he pisses you off again, I guess if he leaves he can't do that So he just emptied the barrel that was fucking I was like stop. Come on. He's just a kid stop. Oh His dad's dead. Why come on? That was I did not enjoy that scene. It was well done I did not enjoy that scene hurt her and it's like at the restaurant was he genuinely asking about
Starting point is 00:35:24 His parents because he cared Or was he trying to get a little dirt on his guy to bring up if he needed it? I would not be surprised. I mean penguins atop of the susseless when all things are where we are They're trying to make us fall in love with a batman villain Which is not a good thing to do because they are very very bad people. Well, is that a knife you're waving around? What is that? It is a it's for my wife's thing called a cricket. You know what a cricket is?
Starting point is 00:35:48 Oh, I know what a cricket is. My sister has a cricket. You make t-shirts and stuff. So this is the little thing they've like peeled the vinyl off or whatever. So this is my tool. This is waving a dagger around like a mob. Like a mob boss. This is my tool that I'm going to use so I don't bang on the desk.
Starting point is 00:36:01 I'm just society diving. Oh nice. I'm sort of a, I don't know, tick that I guess maybe I might have. Like I'm not going to chew a toy like Frank the Tank, so I'm going use so I don't bang on the desk. I'm this is I need to have a little nice sort of a I don't know tick That I guess maybe I might have like I'm not gonna chew a toy like Frank the Tank So I'm gonna have this little knife here and if Robbie keeps talking shit about my meds I'm gonna stab them through the computer with it Fair enough. Listen, I'll lay off. I'll lay off. Hey Robbie, you know, I love you kid, but you know Business isn't for everyone and you only make it to the top for them
Starting point is 00:36:23 You don't care you can't if you don't get a fucking, you don't get a reward for just being a blog, a postal sponsor, right? It's pretty good. The sick voice might make it better. And I like being over the top. I have to say hoites more. I have to like add the stupid accent.
Starting point is 00:36:37 I have to do that a little bit. The line that he says to Victor in the bathroom about, there's no good guys, there's no bad guys, it's just survivors. You just gotta survive and move on. That feels like it's the story of odds is life. The story of the show, everything about the penguin, like you mentioned, it's not really loyal. He's just trying to get to the top, whatever that takes. And then Vicks deals his car. How about Vicks deal in his car? I said, Oh, thank God it's not
Starting point is 00:37:01 a bright purple with gold rims. It's very easily identifiable. Right? Yeah. What a what a fucking move. I didn't again. I was like the kid has it in him. I got to give him credit. He stole my guy. I have that like, again. Oh, and I would have finally forgot to mention the cop scene, too. The cop scene where he pays off the cop for the drugs is pretty fucking smooth by Vic. I like that move.
Starting point is 00:37:23 As line I'm like, I'm like, Vic, we're not talking our well-sells out of this one, mainly because you can't talk. And he somehow talked himself out of it because the Gotham police are so fucking corrupt. And kind of nice to see that even though the Batman is focused on like corrupt police and getting rid of them and finding the rat in the police force and stuff. It's not like Batman solved everything in that movie and everything's good now. It's very much like Gotham is still as seedy and shady as it's always been. Great scene though. And even when he's telling Oz about it and Oz's laugh, he's like, he took the whole grand! Get out of here! Get out of here. And Vic is like, yeah, not knowing he gave half to his girl first.
Starting point is 00:38:02 Yeah. Oz finally kind of apologized to Sophia. Like he does, but she's like, you consider that an apology? Kind of goes off on a mention she's not the hangman. And he is again getting emotional and he's like, I had to do what I had to do. And you know what? It was worth it.
Starting point is 00:38:18 I got the club, I got the drops, I got the position I got. He's like, a guy like me doesn't get that position. So I am sorry, but I wouldn't change a thing I don't regret what I did and it's a good scene and right as it's getting to that like emotional peak Moroni's wife pulls up and she's like you motherfucker. You didn't think we were following you you were double-timing us Then this is where you get the breaking bad thing. Literally like guns drawn, Vic pulling up, Vic sees it. And I was like, oh shit, he's about to do the Walter White, isn't he?
Starting point is 00:38:49 And he kind of does. He rams into the first guy. I was afraid he got shot by the first guy because the first guy gets off a bullet. And then, yeah, like you said, Oz gets in the car. He says, what about Sophia? He says, don't worry about her. Go. And that's pretty much the the ending of the episode. They leave Sophia. We don't know what her, go. And that's pretty much the ending of the episode. They leave Sophia.
Starting point is 00:39:05 We don't know what's gonna happen with her. I do believe next week is the Sophia solo episode that we've been doing rave reviews about. I'm not positive. It could be episode five. I think it's next week though. I think it's episode four. So we got to look forward to it.
Starting point is 00:39:18 That makes sense. If we, that's how we leave her. We get her whole backstory or whatever they're gonna do. And then we're catching up with her and Oz is gonna talk his way out, oh, honey, I thought you were dead, or I thought you got away, and he'll do the odd shit, so.
Starting point is 00:39:32 That was a crazy scene, takes your breath away. As someone that, I mean, I currently do it in Fortnite, love doing it in Grand Theft Auto, just something nice about being able to ram people with a car. Now, that's in video games, I do not, you know, and this is a TV show. Don't I don't support doing that in real life, but it's like almost feel invincible. And I also appreciated how Vic wasn't invincible. He gets hit by the airbag. He's all fucked up. Woozy, you know, he's
Starting point is 00:39:58 bleeding. So definitely a great scene that reminded you of the Breaking Bad, which is, I mean, that show is so good. There's so many, oh, fuck moments scene that reminded you of the Breaking Bad, which is, I mean, that show is so good. There's so many, oh, fuck moments, and that's, I love, top 10, oh, fuck moment. Yeah, definitely. Definitely. Because that's like one of the first Walter White ruthless kills where it's like, oh my God, he just fucking did that.
Starting point is 00:40:18 I think we could get some Carmine next week, and it's not gonna be John Turturro. His schedule couldn't line up. So they recast him as Mark Strong, but it's all gonna be John Turturro his schedule couldn't line up so they recast them as Mark Strong but it's all gonna be flashbacks so he's younger anyway from the pictures I've seen very believable that this is the same guy I also like Mark Strong as an actor in general so I'm excited for that next week I'm excited for more Penguin it's just gonna be fun to have this show expand have the mob life of Gotham City expand and hopefully lead us into the winter of the Batman 2. Yeah, I am very excited now. I'm excited for like everything you said and I didn't realize we're
Starting point is 00:40:52 getting flashback of Carmine there. I mean obviously if he's going to be in it has to be a flashback. So that's cool and hey maybe this there's a chance the Batman could outperform Superman when they launch their movies. We'll have to see what happens. There's a chance, hey, there's a chance it could outperform Joker too as well. I heard Joker too is not a low bar to clear. How about the fact that they got the lowest cinema score in the history of comic book movies, lower than Morbius, lower than Madame Web.
Starting point is 00:41:17 Also worse opening weekend than Morbius. Morbius outperformed them opening weekend. Insanity, that is crazy to me. And you have a superstar in the cast with Lady Gaga too. You figure all the little monsters or whatever they're called, their followers. I don't know if they're still called that. Like if they're not even going to see it, that's time. Well, they didn't do a good job with the messaging. We didn't know if it was a musical, not a musical. Like couldn't really hammer them down even on that. Apparently people that have seen the movie also don't know if it's a musical or not a musical, like couldn't really hammer them down even on that. Apparently people that have seen the movie also don't know if it's a musical or
Starting point is 00:41:47 not. They're like, it was half committed. Ken Jackson is one of the worst sequels he's ever seen. Yeah. I don't want to say Todd Phillips shot himself in the foot by, you know, going out all hoity toity and being all I'm score Sazy, but I don't know. She kind of shot himself in the foot. Let's tell the people that game time before we get into the Agatha all along recap. Game Time, the best in the business, the official ticketing partner of Barstool Sports,

Kevin Durant, who is a Commanders fan, girl. This one Reaper. So Reaper. Yes. Great nickname. So good. He has decided or he calls the Commanders to the Manders for short. Oh, can you dabble with Manders as well? I mean, I like that. Right. I even like the Mandos.
Starting point is 00:44:06 The Mandos, ooh, the Mandos. I've heard the C words, which I think is great. There's a lot, just anything but Commandos. Commies, PFT calls them. Commies, yep, there's so many fun, like they botched the whole naming situation all those years so much. I feel like we have to have fun with it.
Starting point is 00:44:22 They can never just be the Washington Mandos. Agreed. Right, so the Mandos is pretty sweet. The Mandos. I feel like we have to have fun with they can never just be the Washington Tigers. Right? So the Mando's is pretty sweet. I like the Mando's. You saw a fucking uh what was his name? Boba Jett on the way over there. I did. Yeah. I didn't. I had no idea that there's going to be an NFL game in London the weekend that I was there. Very funny walking the streets and seeing the most obscure NFL jerseys you could ever imagine and of all teams like people just will go to the store and they people were wearing like a Jaguars jersey to the Vikings Jets game this weekend very funny just the little like bleeding in of American culture there was in London this
Starting point is 00:44:55 weekend. Little hint to home I'm sure that that's very nice and there was there was a Vikings fan who had a Mandalorian mask as well so So like we have a jet who the guy had his mask. And I'm like, there's like, I was trying to think of like, what would a Viking or Minnesota version of like Mando, or I'm trying to think, I was trying to think of all the different Mandalorians out there. So yeah, it's a, the Mando's is a great name
Starting point is 00:45:19 for the commanders. I like that. Now let me tell you what happened on Agatha all along this week. Episode four we got. I'll be completely transparent. I watched this not too long ago, like right before we did the podcast. I was struggling to stay awake a little bit, but I still did all of my notes and I've got them. So last week, if you remember, we ended with like a kind of a metal meta Hansel and Gretel. They went into the oven to escape and get to the next part of the witch's road with
Starting point is 00:45:49 Sharon's body. I didn't know if she was dead or not. I thought maybe they could revive her. She's dead. So at the beginning of this episode, they're like, Sharon's dead. They bury your body. Teens got to dig the grave for her and everything. And Agatha doesn't seem to care that she's dead. All the other witches do. All the other witches do and the other witches are like, we now need a green witch. That was one of the things
Starting point is 00:46:08 if you go through the witch's road, you need like a red witch, a purple witch, a green witch, all the different kinds. Then you see like a zombie hand come up from the grave and you're like, all right, Sharon's back. Not Sharon. Aubrey Plaza as Rio Vidal, I think it is, is Rio something. She is going to be the Green Witch on this journey now. So an interesting thing where we got her in the beginning, she was clearly an enemy of Agatha, and now they're on the witch's road together. So actually a decent start to this episode in that way.
Starting point is 00:46:38 And Aubrey Plaza is pretty much the best part of it so far. Her and Catherine Hawn are both great together. Okay, that's cool. I was going to say I feel like Sharon's coming back. I'm gonna say now Sharon's probably not coming back because they had their moment to do that. They decided not to. Bob, what is something on this witch,
Starting point is 00:46:55 then you bring up the witch's road and all these different colors. What is something that is known to have all the colors in it? Oh, the stones? No, if you look in the sky, you see, oh, rainbow, rainbow road, which is road. Is there a chance we go back to rainbows road, rainbow road by the end of this? I
Starting point is 00:47:13 don't know, but it does get pretty gay by the end of it. Okay. Yes. Oh, here we go, baby. The rainbow day. I mean, straight up like we'll get to it. We'll I'll I'll save it. I'll save the ending. Um they see another house. They're like as long as we don't have to go into another fucking house and then they look up and there's a house there Okay, I guess we got to go into the house They go in and instead of the kind of real housewives the aesthetic total 60s 70s Woodstock psychedelic aesthetic for everyone. It looks cool. It works again
Starting point is 00:47:41 I kind of appreciate that they're giving us shades of WandaVision and how they would change episode to episode like that and There's some devil shit on the walls so I was thinking maybe some Mephisto stuff going on there and At one point like Rio leans on a microphone button on purpose to try to convince The other members of the coven that Agatha can't be trusted so she's like leaning on the speaker She's like I know you're gonna kill all those other witches in the coven as soon as you get to the end of this thing. And then they play a record backwards,
Starting point is 00:48:12 again, like the satanic thing, where you would hear satanic voices if you played Led Zeppelin backwards or something. And Patti O'LePoe just starts spazzing out on the floor. She's like, we've been cursed. And she just starts like having a seizure on the floor. So you're like, all right, where are we going here? They start going through it till the curse is reversed.
Starting point is 00:48:28 Everyone that got the curse has like a huge mark on their shoulder, like a blade thing. And we learn it's a generational curse from the Hot Topic Witch's mother. So the Hot Topic Witch, I forget what her actual name is. They hate hearing the song Lorna's Ballad. It's a protection spell, but they're like forced into doing it.
Starting point is 00:48:48 They all sit down at this point with instruments, like Aubrey Plaza gets on the drum kit. One of them throws on a guitar, one of them throws on a bass, and Agatha just sings this, I think Lorna's Ballad or whatever it is, for a healing spell, a healing potion, some shit like that. It wasn't great.
Starting point is 00:49:05 It was again, like it felt like you took a little break to turn the show into a Broadway play. It was like very Broadway musical. That feels very bad. I'm very happy I didn't watch that part. I feel like- Yeah, I'll admit the song is still stuck in my head. It was a little earworm.
Starting point is 00:49:21 Like down, down, down the road, down the witch's road. It was kind of rock and roll. Pup Punk could cover it. I could see us doing that, but yeah, it just, this show is, I don't even want, it's not bad. It's just, it's another one that's, we're not the target audience. The target audience for this is for sure girls
Starting point is 00:49:40 who are into like Hocus Pocus and Halloween Town and stuff like that. It gives off the same vibes as the Disney Channel original movies, I think. I feel like they were like, we hit it with Agatha all along song. Let's try to get another hit. Yeah. Although like Agatha was like, funny too. Like there was nothing funny. They was very earnest. They were just like singing it. Aubrey Plaza was doing a very good job miming the drums That's always something that like always like watching the people to see if they're actually trying to play the instruments
Starting point is 00:50:10 She's doing a good job and then this physical curse in the form of a demon appears like an actual like just devilish demon appears and The hot topic which had a typo and like notes meant to wait right hot topic which I wrote hot topic bitch I have a typo in like notes meant to wait right hot topic which I wrote hot topic bitch They so they literally just belt out notes until though the demon like Bursts into flames tenacious D and the pick of destiny style And the teen is badly cut the teen the whole episode They're like asking he's asking about the sigil did you put the sigil on me where he can't tell his backstory or his name anything Agatha says no When he's cut it looks like he's about to die. This is the most interesting part of the episode
Starting point is 00:50:53 Katherine Hahn Agatha looks at Aubrey Plaza and says don't don't and it's very like don't what? There's a lot of theories that Aubrey Plaza's character Rio is actually Death. And if she were Death, the don't would make a lot of sense. The don't was, don't you take him. Not yet. And if she is Death, I could see like, it would be so cool to work Death in, obviously post Infinity Gauntlet Saga so you don't have Thanos trying to impress her and doing all that shit.
Starting point is 00:51:24 But even if you mentioned at one point that her and Thanos were connected like that makes the comic nerd and me a little excited. Lady Death coming to the screen would be cool so that's okay that's one of the things we get out of this show I could live with that over Plaza as Death it's a good and it's like a big enough role to have someone like that. So, okay. All right. And she's playing it like she's playing it very seductive. Her character is constantly trying to like seduce Agatha even. So like by the end of the episode, the team goes up to Agatha asks what happened. She doesn't really respond. She's like, she doesn't want to talk about what happened to her son. She doesn't want to talk about what's happening to him. It's a touchy subject for sure.
Starting point is 00:52:06 And then Lillia, who is Patty Lepone, she's losing it a little like we're, we're telling, she's telling stories and stopping the middle of the sentence and forgetting where she was. And the other witches are like, ah, you're so silly, but you're starting to see like shades of junior soprano in her. This is not going to go great. And Rio says she loved someone a long time ago and did something to her that she didn't want to do.
Starting point is 00:52:30 And that woman, that person is her scar or something. I don't know if this is Agatha herself. Agatha implies she went down the witch's road before and left with only one other witch. I think that could be Aubrey Plaza. But at the end of the episode, they like embrace and then they like almost make out. Like Agatha wants to make out with Rio and Rio just stops her and she's like,
Starting point is 00:52:51 just so you know that boy isn't yours. Confirming the teen is not hers. I think the teen, like I said last week is Wanda's. But that was the episode. I'm sure I forgot some stuff in there because like I said, I was kind of like fading. Today was a travel day and it's Late over here in Scotland, but it was again. It wasn't horrible. I didn't dislike it
Starting point is 00:53:10 It wasn't like a drag to get through it was just it's not completely up my alley Okay, I mean I I've heard Not as bad as I feared has been kind of how it's gone. I'll take, I'll take. I'll take it for someone listening to you having to explain everything. Like I don't want to send you and watch a bad show. So I'm happy it's not bad. It's just not good. Yeah, it's close.
Starting point is 00:53:37 It's close. Yeah, I'm over the musical numbers. I think we've done enough musical numbers. Through three episodes or four episodes, we've already gotten two long ones. And it's like, ooh, yeah. I guess that's a witch thing though, which is like singing. That's true. And you're a musical fan.
Starting point is 00:53:54 So if you're gonna get a musical, you want a good musical. Don't be giving Bob a bad musical. Give me La La Land, you know? Yes. That was Agatha though. That was Agatha. That was The Penguin. That was us talking a little bit about Thunderbolts
Starting point is 00:54:06 That was a fun my mom's basement today from Scotland. I'm on snow air as people have called it. Yeah me mom So I'll tell you man. We're starting to get up there with like the most remote from like random countries I know I've done the initial Wanda vision episodes. We did which aren't on YouTube We didn't even have a YouTube at that point. Those were recorded when I was in Abu Dhabi I believe I've done London before for sure Scotland now or checking a bunch of countries off the list my mom's basement international Go worldwide, baby. Mr. Worldwide and We will be back next week to do the exact same thing We did this week will recap the penguin and I will explain the next episode of Agatha all along to Clem. So make
