Affir.If you're just joining us on Spotify or iTunes, we'll be.We just watched episode six of Agatha All Along.
01:33It was Agatha All Along?Episode 666.I would say this episode should be called It Was Billy Maximoff All Along.John, I know you love this show.I want to hear your thoughts first.I like this episode a lot.This might be one of my faves.I mean, I love having the Coven all together,
01:51but I really enjoyed the sense of mystery,getting at least a brief glimpse of who William was before becoming.coming Billy and and even though yeah like toward the end you know that you're tying togetherthings that we've already seen before I like the perspective shifts and all that stuff likewithout doing too much again of the witch road mumbo jumbo or or any like super overt spellcasting this still had like a very kind of witch movie mystery feel about it that again justquite appeals to me so yeah and I mean all the fun with ralph boner and all that stuff likeI thought this had the
02:29Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,Randall.Uh, yeah, no, I, I thought this was great.This was a nice chance for Joe Locke to kind of take center stage and as such animportant character, it makes a lot of sense for that to happen and, uh, hold the phone.His name's real, the actor's name.What a cool name.Joe Locke.
02:47Yeah.Joe Locke.Oh my God.He should do a movie about it.He's the brother of the guy's such a movie.There was a prison character name and they did Joe Locke and he's locked up.Oh my God.It writes itself.
02:59It's double meaning.He's the guy Tom Hardy's on the phone with in the movie.That accent.It's immaculate.Who knows what it is.Greg.Coy, I know this is not your demographic.You know, you're only got to preface that with each sentence.
03:12Because otherwise, why say?You have to make sure to clear the people.People are going to think that this is the 100% the thing that I am craving at all time.People are like, they made the show for Coy.My name's on it.I weirdly realize the times where I'm not as interested in the show, but for thepart i really like the show it's i'm just going to get my negative out of the way that's whyis the only thing anyone thinks about it's usually when they're not in something else what i mean
03:40by it's like how they're in the flashback and they have that dementia it's the like when they'reon the road at the end the whole scene with like agatha and you don't like the real world of theshow i only like the fictional narratives it wasn't fictional with his flashbacks but there'smaybe there's something about the way it's shot in that sense and andand paste that I'm not the biggest fan of when it comes to the show.It's not like I dislike it.I just am not as interested when that's going on.Like even the dialogue change was like, fine.
04:09But I thought everything before that was way more interesting than the final moments of the show, actually.And the reveal itself of looking for Tommy was a pretty obvious one.However, that is not most of the episode.Most of the episode is this story explaining how Billy Maximum,off came to be. And I thought it had a really great tone to bring Evan Peters back in anepisode that felt a little bit like a Ryan Murphy-esque type of episode. I thought it was veryfitting to reprise Ralph Boner in. And yeah, I thought, I think his performance is reallystrong too. And I find him more interesting than Agatha, honestly. So I really think that this is,
04:52I thought this was a solid episode. I had a lot of fun with this one. Did you not like it again?Are you hated? You hate television?What is wrong with you?I just, I feel like they'reJohn and I aren't 17-year-oldgirls or whatever you thinkthis show is for it.Yeah.
05:04Who's the demo?When you say, I'm not,this is not my demographic.What's the demographic you're speaking up?Not enough explosions and man stuff.What's the demographic that you think it's for?Not me.I feel like this show is aimed.
05:15What is the demographic?I feel like the demo of this showis queer women at the center.And that's what Koi hates.It is like, you know.Coi hates queer women.Whoever I say the demo.Since I said it's not for me, we'll villainize me to them.
05:31And I know better, Craig.Obviously, you have a female ensemble.So, yeah, like a variety of femmes at the center and then the LGBTQ and then the horror, I think, is the third sphere.Anybody who likes horror stuff.And then the fourth sphere is Marvel.I'm sure.And I think it's made just for Scientologists at a certain Satan level.And I'm not there.
05:50I'm just waiting on our level, Koi.Just pay those tributes to go to those audits.Zunu's not here.So I feel it's inappropriate.I'm really surprised you were you weren't I was like really into this one I thought I was fine I thought it was like a cool mystery behind like how he came to be and him uncovering everything the investigation I don't think I I have enough investment and I should at six episodes in in the character like Joe's character of William slash Billy I wasn't really interested in him until this episode I'm more interested now but I just kept being like oh it's a very complicated reason for his name to be the same name why did they do that like theyIt's kind of funny.He's like, William Cap,Willie Will?
06:29And then he's like,my name is the nearest.I'm like,okay,it's kind of the same name.And like,I don't know.It just,
06:36it feels,um,I want to care.I'm really trying hard.And that feels weird to want to try to like a thing.And like,it just feels fine.Like,
06:45it's not bad.Uh,I,I personally did not enjoy the fifth episode.Like,I didn't enjoy it.Like,I had a hard time with the pacing,
06:54the style,the ending.but this one was at least like a fine episode of television like i think this is definitely a step inthe right direction i'm now much more invested in him which is hopefully going to tie me into therest if they really killed those two witches like kind of unceremoniously but they also killedthe the singing one that's the real life world stuff which you're like i just don't findi don't think that stuff is executed anywhere near as well as when they're doing something thatfeels like genre specific in some way which is like the alex murphy stuff or what rimer
07:25Or even this whole episode.There was a genre bit.It was a psychological mystery.Like, that's the approach they took.I liked, like you mentioned, a few moments of revisiting that episode where she was in true detective mode.Like, just from the outside, the, you know, the spell perspective, that was cool to re-contextualize, like, what she went through.A fair of East Town accent back.What is that accent called?
07:49It's so specific.And, like, the squat in the chair was actually funny.It's not a New England accent?It's aggressively, like, minisible.Soda, New England.I don't know what it is.Yeah, it's probably somewhere in that, in that region, but it's not as Boston as New England.It's like as north as Boston, but over.
08:04Because it's like you swallow so many, anyway.They say car too hard.I don't know.I don't have the exact same opinion as us, so.Yeah, so, God, I hate me.I kind of hate your guts.Your opinions are not my demographic.Yeah.
08:18When you talk about your feelings?Yeah.I feel attacked.Your feeling how I feel about it.Feelings are about me.If they don't like itand I do villain.If they like it, I don't villain.
08:33Dude, it's your villain era, Coy.I'm in my art. I'm the witch all along.I hope that it wraps upin three episodes that feel like we've gottento the point where we like this kid.He's going to be, you know, Wiccan in the Young Avengersthat feels inevitable because they've introduced so many children.And I feel like...
08:49They're all going to be adults by the time we get there.It's going to be like stranger things.They're like having kids.Eleven's married.The young, relatively speaking, Avengers.Young Avengers.But I'm excited for the Tommy Mystery.I'm excited for if Scarlet Witch comes back, which I feel like is a thing.
09:04I feel like Mephisto might occur because his name was dropped.But overall, like, it was a fine episode.Ladies and gentlemen, I'm excited to shout out today's sponsor because it is an app that I have been using since before we partnered with them,which just makes my job easy.And I just get to share with you something I really do love.And that is the Acorns app.Because money's involved, I researched them extensively to make sure, like, they've got to be legit, right?You can find so many positive reviews on them.
09:31There's one person here.They themselves gave me a very positive testimony about how it helped get them out of a bind once that they were in.And I can say that, you know, I don't want to actually show my, but I have the app just as evidence.Because one of my favorite things about it is how easy they make it for investing.That's something that I think is really important.It's really hard to get ahead in life.For something like me who doesn't have a 401K, who really does.need to invest money so that way I don't have to just work for money but have money grow for me,
10:00have money work for me. It's an absolutely amazing start. The best part is you don't need a lot ofmoney to do it. You can literally start with your spare change. They make it easy to automaticallystart saving and investing for you, your future, your retirement, your kids, whatever it may bethat you want to invest money for. Like I say, you don't need a lot of money. You don't even reallyneed expertise, which is the best part. Acorns recommends an expert built portfolio that fits you andyour money goals. Then automatically invest the money for you. So it takes a lot of this stressfuldecision-making fatigue out of the process. I just love how I can let it do its thing and then Ican just check it with my half like a month later, a couple months later, see how they're awesome
10:36dollar round up or whatever my money investments I've gone into. Literally it's just awesome tosee it grow. Plus now you can open an acorns later IRA and get up to a 3% match on newcontributions. So it's extra money for your retirement. Cannot stress it enough. It's made investing,especially as a jumping off point,super easy, super stress-free,super straightforward.

11:16AcornsAdLC and SEC,registered investment advisor, view important disclosures at acorns.dot com slash rejects i highly recommend this app so please go ahead download it thank you againyeah i mean we didn't really do anything that new did we no i mean we mostly just did stuffthat fleshed out billy as a character to some degree we had his boyfriend and the whole i love youthing in the car which was nice okay so why was woman cop boy why was she a cop yeah because she waswatching too much true crime so that's the heck show no no no no no oh why was the woman that was theSinger of the cop.
11:50When William Kaplan was killed in the car accident.No idea.Doesn't make any sense.Yeah, why was she a cop?Because, like, that was a flashback.They all appear in, I mean, other, that...I mean, I guess that could have just been a job she was doing,but it seems the way they all appear in the flashback feels a little removed from reality.
12:10Like, even though the tent at the Bar Mitzvah is technically something you could fathom being...A witch doing.Or the ad on the YouTube.was still doing her witchcraft candles.Yeah, those feel a little more naturalistic.That's what they were doing before.Why was she a right and laid a cop?The ringer is that.
12:27And I wonder if it's just like maybe the beatthat they're trying to communicate with that characteris like, oh, she just got a bunch of different jobs.Maybe she was a cop at this point.She's a hot topic later on.That was three years earlier.And maybe there was a line that they did dropthat maybe you guys could clarify for us.
12:42Maybe there was a line that they dropped about how she used to be in lawenforcement or something.Yeah.Either way.As a protector, it makes sense with her character beat.but either way it definitely made me go like what like uh but i think overall it added to the mysterylike our confusion it's definitely there to make you go like oh this is this real like is this is a realflashback is this some kind of fantasy vision are they digging around in his head like i like the
13:05boyfriend too yeah i like that scene with them that was this was written well i remember being likeyoung and in love and not knowing what to say and it's i can't imagine adding the element of likemind reading to that and how it's already like oh no i don't know what to say but having that in yourIt had to be so hard.It's my worst nightmare that that thing of like, oh, I can't stop hearing people's thoughts.Please know.Well, I mean, that's what I liked it.They have the horror aspect of like, not like a horror movie, but the horrific aspect.
13:31If you were able to not turn off your thoughts of hearing other people's thoughts and hearing the judgment and the worry and the pressure of that, then to go into a scene with the boyfriend.I think that's a very, that was a rather effective scene to get invested in the relationship with them because even though he's hearing.his thoughts. It's really sweet.I like that.I like the juxtaposition, the duality.Ah! And I like the show mirrors.Dualities, two mirrors.And that's a scene that I think is nice
14:02because I'm sure they could find a wayto edit it out, but at the same timeit's one of the few times, especiallyin the Marvel wing of Disney, where I've been like,oh, they have like a gay character or somethingand they're actually likeallowing this romance to be a real thinginstead of, like, one kiss that we can easily cut out.
14:19I know, man.Dude, he's a Jewish, gay witch with a black boyfriend.Yeah.How cool is that?The wokenest possible character.That boy's checking box.I mean, yeah.I like it.
14:32And it's, you know, he is representing an entire community of which Jewish gay boys.They got to be out there.They're seen.They got to be out there.There's just something kind of cool to me about that because there is a time in historywhere you would not be able to say that.the fact that we can see that when watching a television show,like, there's something kind of cool to be about that.
14:51And the way those details are interspersed throughout the episode,like they're obvious because they're like a ceremony or whatever,but it doesn't feel like tacky or trite the way that they introduce those details.We don't know if Billy Maximoff is Jewish.That's true.William Kaplan is Jewish.And Billy Maxinoff is appropriate.What if he was like, I'm down for everything in this life, but...
15:12You know, my grandpa is Eric Lyncher.And we'd be like, dude, Billy, we were so on board for you.Everything was fine.Until he became anti-synmatic during this man.A real problematic with your history.Part of me, it wonders if there is some juju like that that hasn't obviously been explained.I don't know what I would say that word.So weird choice of words considering what we just said right now to go juju.
15:34Oh, sorry.You mean Jewish Jewish?Jay-E-W.Dude, come on, man.Ju-J-J-U.I wonder if there's some kind of magical reason why.it would be like somebody who shares the faith of your ancestor and the name of your spirit or something like that and maybe why he found that body i think he's just outside i mean he's outside real close he's really close yeah it certainly feels like a coincidence or whatever like a very happy accidentdid Tommy have to find a body probably i mean they didn't i think the William Kaplan thing could have been effective in a good mislead if they actually use that in the show but they did the whole thing where you can't hear his name right so it
16:15It, like, didn't really matter until this episode.I was like, you might have been better if you just called him William Kaplan, and they could hear that.Right, because then we wouldn't be like, who's he?Or it would have been like, that's close to Billy.Yeah, and he might have been like, I guess he's not Billy Maximoff.Yeah.And then it probably would.They were out of bonerness again.
16:29But it's like, there was no point in calling him William Kaplan.It's just misleading for, like, the first 10 minutes of this episode.Right.But other than that, it does nothing, but be like, that's kind of funny.His name is William, but he was inhabited by Billy.Well, that's kind of what I mean at the show.It's like, why are we over?complicated. There's so many times I'm like, I guess
16:48sure. Well, that's one of those things that Ifeel like could easily just be one of thosecheeky like, ah, it's just a kind of coincidencethey have the same name, whatever, but it islike, you're such a Marvel shit. But it is.But no, I mean, it's right on that razor's edgeof like, or is thisintentional, meaningful? I don't know. And two, there's the
17:05displacement, there's the displacement of eventsin that you havethe Patty Lepone character putting thesigil on him before he's become Billy,correct? So like that to makeme curious about like oh what is it about you that already makes you a good vessel did thatsigil summon bill oh yeah yeah that sidgill nailed it right there yeah she marked himthat's true and yeah i mean i don't know what but why would she do that because yeah it's like
17:32does she have any involvement with wanda at all or anything we don't know about in terms of wanda visionlike like as of now i think this episode there are still questions just in the displacement of eventseven though this is in the guise of like we're going to explain a bunch to youLike, I feel like there could still be mysteries from this episode revealed further down the lineif and when we see those characters again, because especially because she didn't get a deathand, uh, Sashir's a maida didn't get a death, you know, or no, uh, who all's gotten deaths.Who, they're, far only the singer.Only Allian and only, uh, not Padilla Lipon, uh, Deborah Joe Rupp.
18:08Yeah. Uh, Sharon Davis.Thank you.So, yeah, those guys haven't died yet. And I feel like they will, if they don't come back,I will have gripes, but I feel like they'll have some more mystery to dispel when theyreturn.I still feel like episode four is my favorite, but this should be like my second favorite or thirdone of their.So it's high up there.
18:25But yeah, guys, I'm good.I'm good.Bring back Aubrey Plaza as well.I'm done talking.Spring back Aubrey Plaza.If I'm done talking, we should all be done talking.I'm done talking.All right, we're done talking.
18:36Let us know in the comments, but thank you.Thank you.Let us know if you're part of the demographic that enjoys this show.Hey, are you part of the demographic?What is the demographic?I'm going to do my review just from the perspective of that whole...Every five minutes, I'll repeat it and make sure...I find it's funny, and not that you do this,
18:52but people get up in arms about Marvel doing thingsfor not just one demographic, and I'm like, why?Like, there are so many properties, so many stories,so many facets of the universe.Why can't you aim toward multiple demographics?That I know it's not something that is aimed at me,so I'm happy people like it.And all of a sudden, I'm a monster.
19:11I think that's a good distinction to be able to make.be like hey if you like this great that's good that's a good nuance i'm glad people like itand i'm glad it's doing assume that if it's not for you it's just bad that's exactly what i'mtrying to prevent but here i am getting crap all right that's gonna do it leave a commentleave a like leave a subscribe and uh peace be with you leave wellbye oh
