Starting point is 00:02:33 I cover all the reality shows or as much as I can do. But please, please, please go check out my podcast that just dropped. It's available anywhere you get your podcast. Apple, Spotify, it's called The RagePod. Also on Instagram, there's a bunch of cool clips. The RagePod follow us there. We're also on YouTube. Distributed by Our Heart Radio.

Starting point is 00:02:53 Would love your support for four episodes. are up there so go check it out all right now let's talk alien ass who wants to go first i go first okay so it was great i think it did a great job of escalating mistakes we got to see them really in different states of fear the kids you know the the the big one with the mom who was in danger really to see his panic and then his friend wound up in the situation. Also, our poor scientist guy, man. He just, he was such

Starting point is 00:03:31 a good guy from start to finish, and I'm really sad to see him go. You know, I hope that he gets some sort of not redemption. What's the word I'm looking for? Justice. I hope some of the bad people die, so

Starting point is 00:03:47 he didn't die in vain because he deserved better. And yeah, it's interesting seeing Wendy come to this point of you know having to choose between her brother her last remnants of humanity and her newfound love her son for like a better term in this new xenomorph and we're seeing that we're at this crossroads between what was important to her and what is now her future what is important to her now and just the nefariousness of prodigy and the fact that he's now willing to experiment on humans

Starting point is 00:04:22 And so this man needs to be stopped because he has no love for life. And he just cares about his endless, insatiable hunger for knowledge, curiosity, and to find the best thing to make him not feel bored. And that is shitty. So I look forward to seeing what happens next. And, yeah, those are my brief thoughts for the time being until we get into conversation. What was it going to next? Go ahead, Coy.

Starting point is 00:04:50 How about it? I think the next bit of super villainy from our Cavalier is going to be two different plot lines coming together where he is blaming the therapist mother for the escape and he's got to put an eyeball in somebody and I think she's about to get caught. Well, he says you want somebody like dumb so you can compare and contrast. I think the smart one though. I think I think she did because like that was the last scene they had together was like him storming out. And like I remember when Curley was like nurturing. I was like, this is a wholesome moment. She's dead in a minute.

Starting point is 00:05:19 I think she bites it next step. episode. I think she gets eyeballed. Yeah. That's my prediction. But I really loved how, you know, much they endeared us to the one purely wholesome person. Hermit hasn't messed up yet, but this episode we see, like, where his allegiances are. It's very tricky. He, that was his, like, you know, space marine core team that, you know, put him in that spot.

Starting point is 00:05:40 But also he came up with them. And, like, this is his sister, but not all the way. And, like, she's also making decisions that he's clearly uncomfortable with with the xenomorph. um like you know him him stopping her from calling it he's scared of it as he should be it's a xenomorph uh there's a lot of really cool contradictions here of like where she's going to go what decisions she'll make and uh i'll be curious how it all lands i do feel like the very end of the season is going to be pretty much everyone dead and her with a xenomorph going out into the earth i feel like that's gonna last shot wild i think that's my end of eight prediction end of uh end of this episode prediction is in the first 10 minutes

Starting point is 00:06:18 So the next one, therapist gets eyeballed. End of 8. She walks into the earth with the xenomorph render set. Okay. I will say that I think it's not going to be the therapist. I think it's going to be Curly. Because Curly was the one that couldn't answer the... What?

Starting point is 00:06:33 Curly synthetic. She wants a human. He said that? Yeah. He said no wants to put it in a human. Gosh, dang it. Never mind, you're right. Because I was going to say,

Starting point is 00:06:42 because remember how Curly couldn't answer the questions when he asked her? And she was like, not special. Oh, that's funny. His rain automatically went to like, now we can make her worth it. Oh, that's funny. Because she was like the least of the, of the synthetics. Anyway, I really like, I think in this episode, the, like a little bit of the bait and switch with Kersh, like I didn't expect that he had this whole freaking plan. He had a trap set up, probably knew when the chest was going to burst.

Starting point is 00:07:11 And then when he brings it over, it's like, it's all to catch Morrow. And I can't, I'm, I love that he is caught. because I did I did love him two episodes ago like so much fought for him so hard that I convinced them that like he was maybe that he was like a good guy why I can test it immediately I was like no no you got me for like 30 seconds I got him for like a minute yeah I was definitely like well you know he was doing some things yeah he did have a daughter I was so weird rejection at the start of this year I was sitting over 20% body fat 218 pounds of his end of January as of a couple weeks ago finally took the photos I've been talking about it all year I completed the mission six pack abs came in 8% body fat 170 pounds

Starting point is 00:08:01 you could check out all the transformations on Instagram but that's not why I'm here today I'm here today to tell you that a big part of how I accomplished that journey was about staying consistent with my nutrition and the best way to do this is by keeping things simple like having a Hewell Black Edition, ready to drink a complete meal in a bottle. Have these a couple times a week. That first crack. It's always amazing. It's a full meal in a bottle packed with 40 grams of protein.

Starting point is 00:08:25 27 vitamins and minerals, slow release carbs, low sugar, no prep, no cleanup. Just shake it and go. I've got a fridge full of these. We've got three fridges and they're all full of them. I'd like to grab them on shoot days, gym days. Or I'm just too damn tired to cook, which is an often Greg thing. But more importantly, they taste good. Chocolate and vanilla.

Starting point is 00:08:44 Classics are my go-toes. Smooth taste like actual milkshake. But they got a whole bunch of other flavors you can catch on their website. Plus, it's under three bucks a meal, which has helped my gains and my budget.

Starting point is 00:09:08 Skip the stress, not do nutrition. Try Huel today for complete. nutrition well time Greg bottled it was so bad and now I I'm very happy to see that that he is caught and I felt that the the two boys gave such a wonderful performance of like the hurt and you can really hear it in the in his voice of like but what about my mom you know like and that just it tore my heart out but I loved how Kirsch was like you two are both grounded because they both need that sort of parent-esque type of feeling in their life because they're like, they're not busy.

Starting point is 00:09:44 They don't want to be there. It's like, Kersh is really the only one that has their back and is probably nice to them. Like, Cavaliers just, he's cuckoo fricking bananas. I can't believe how fast his side guy was like, I'll get a list together of like the people that we're going to put the eyeball in and kill. He sucks too.

Starting point is 00:10:02 Like, I know, but I'm just like it's freaking, it's Wackadoo Wild. It's insane to me. But this episode was a lot of fun. I think I mainly really like. obviously when she was calling the xenomorph and it kicks them ass, takes out all those freaking people. How cool

Starting point is 00:10:17 is that? Also in the beginning to see the face hugger it was cool seeing that up close. Like the practical effects in this, practical probably mixed with special effects are just amazing. Like there's never a moment where I look at a practical

Starting point is 00:10:33 or special effects in here that takes me out of it. And that happens a lot in a lot of stuff that I think we all watch. And in this one I am fully there and I'm like oh my god that xenomorph's going to kill all of them and I just had a blast formatting wise I also want to point out

Starting point is 00:10:49 usually on TV the penultimate episode is the big ending and then the finale is more of a denouement like more of a conclusion and a feeling right I thought it was interesting this episode was shorter and the next one presumably will be longer and end in a way and I'm thinking like just formatting wise that's really interesting to not

Starting point is 00:11:05 have the last episode be short I like this because now the climax isn't done and then you wait a week right instead it's like we're building action and next week there is a lot of opportunity. And I think that's a cool thing to do. Especially with her maybe kind of turning on her brother. I think that's sad.

Starting point is 00:11:21 What a joke down. What a cliffhanger for a week. How cool. Because, I mean, that's dangerous. If you're her brother and he just killed, like NIMS was literally trying to defend herself against them, but also for you guys. Like, I don't know why he,

Starting point is 00:11:38 I get it that probably now he thinks it, Hermit thinks it was a mistake. But, I mean, the fact that she can call Xenomorph over if she's pissed enough that that could really, like, tear up her brother, man. Like, Hermit might not be around. It sucks because the girl that Nibb was going to kill was also someone he had a fondness for. Yeah, that's the thing. And he was with that much longer than this new old sister. That's true.

Starting point is 00:12:03 Yeah. Yeah. That's just another girl that, you know, that his sister wanted to bring along who was endangering somebody he cared about. And he wanted to just go. And also, like, you know, when you serve with people, I can't imagine the bond that brings you, like, surviving. Like, they're not just, like, they don't just know each other. They're, like, Marines together.

Starting point is 00:12:19 Yeah. So, like, that must be a very hard, like, family, because she's not even the body of his sister. Like, that's theoretically just her mind. But he's been asking that question. And now it's his other family. Like, it's a beautiful spot. I like that that might be the thing that turns her.

Starting point is 00:12:33 Yeah. That's such a big moment. And it sucks because NIMS is the only person, at least within this part of the episode. but all the kids are the only people that can relate to her and her experience. Because one, in a way, she kind of semi-raised them in this new life because she's the one that brought them on and taught them what it's like to be in these new bodies.

Starting point is 00:12:51 But they're the only people that can relate to her experience because, yeah, they were like a select few kids, and that sucks. So I have no idea where the show's going to go. I'm very curious to see what happens to their relationship. But something tells me that I getting on this boat together. It's not going to end happy for them. Well, luckily, like, the brother did get to go behind the scenes with Arthur and get a little bit of the info in seeing, I don't know if a light just went out. Anyway, in seeing, like, what they were doing to them and that they're all tracked and he knows that their synth and all of that.

Starting point is 00:13:23 So he got a little more information to her background that maybe Nibbs is so in Lala freaking land that I don't even know she'd be able to explain anything. So, and remember how sad she was that I'm sort of like, yeah, well, maybe she's in a better place now. Which is really sad, but she was unwell. I don't think this is the last we'll see of her. Even though it looks like she's dead, but we still have the whole thing, but she believes she's pregnant because the thing tried to, like, get on her. But she doesn't now because it got wiped. She doesn't think that, but her body might not know that.

Starting point is 00:13:56 I don't know how that would work, but I don't know. I'm curious because, you know, you don't just bring something like that up, that up repetitively for no reason. Unless they do, but I feel like some are going to come with that. And she didn't bring it up this episode. No, because you're just talking about. Yeah, I know. Oh, yeah.

Starting point is 00:14:12 I still am like, is it that ectotopic, whatever the word is, like where they make it up in their brain? Or is it something else? I guess we'll have to see. Yeah. Well, I love the show. It's such a blast. Do you guys have any final thoughts you want to tell the people? No, I'm just excited.

Starting point is 00:14:30 I think the show's been great from start to finish. And the fact that they were able to pull off an alien-based show around the xenomorphs. and, you know, synthetics and stuff is really impressive. So, you know, bowed out and know. Agreed. Like, I've really enjoyed the payoff of Kersh. Like, I really like that we kept wondering where he was. And we still, one episode left, we think he's team Cavalier because of that trap,

Starting point is 00:14:52 but he could be still Team Kersh. It's true. It's true. Like, his, like, his, my, I think that's my favorite story in this. Yeah, I agree. Because you don't know. We don't know where he lies. And it's, and he's such a commanding performance with so little dialogue.

Starting point is 00:15:04 I really am intrigued by where, you know, Cavalier, lands with the eye and all that stuff. So like I, I love the formatting of this eight episodes where I kept hearing that Noah Hawley wanted to make this season one of however many. It doesn't feel like a limited series. And I love the choice to have the last episode feel like a finale because so often I feel like TV is geared towards the penultimate. So I'm really excited for next week. Yeah, me too. We love you guys. We will see you on the next one.
