Starting point is 00:00:00 When WestJet first took flight in 1996, the vibes were a bit different.

Starting point is 00:03:44 the review portions by asking us questions about the experience we just be held. And speaking of the experience, we just be held. Tadda! Yeah. Season two, how are you feeling so far? I feel pretty good. Pretty good.

Starting point is 00:04:00 This is still, yeah, this is a toughie. The fact that Nate, I don't know what he's going to tell him. I assume that Nate is going to have to lie his dad and say that he still has it but then I'm like how do you do that? Because dad's going to be like okay then give it to me. I don't know how that's going to

Starting point is 00:04:18 go. Um, but Nase is going to give one of his monologues again where he's like here's what's going to happen. I'm going on this tape otherwise you're going to do this and if you do this and I'm taking this tape to the police and I'm going to tell them this and then that's true. That's true. And you know what? That was one of my

Starting point is 00:04:34 my most favorite parts of this episode where I was like, dang, he told him the full on truth and now now dad is fully aware of how effed up this whole situation is because he thought he's just what you're just going to show up and shoot

Starting point is 00:04:50 Fez like bro you're now the reason for all of this yeah uh and I just think it's also wild that Nate that we're getting to Zepso where the writing is is that Nate can be more of himself and open up more to Cassie and that he's almost like more

Starting point is 00:05:07 in love with her of course he's not going to tell Cassie that but like whoa this this is complicated and then of course on top of that cat doesn't even like even even anymore i hate it we didn't get to enjoy that at all not at all we got to enjoy them getting together and now it sucks now it's done now he's just he's boring fine and boring and sweet i hate it done so sad done so very sad although that scene uh where yeah she's being sort of berated by like all the different voices in her head and all the different like societal voices

Starting point is 00:05:41 about self-worth and body positivity and all this shit. Very, very nicely handled scene. Oh, God. This is a lot, man. This is, yeah, I mean, they're full throttle. This is the euphoria you know and love. Yeah, and Ruth's high as fun now.

Starting point is 00:06:00 Yeah, high as kite. Not, not sober, not at all. Carining. Yeah. Homie, what's his name? it's it's uh it's uh her buddy her buddy with the drugs i like their vibes together but i'm very afraid of what his presence is going to do i agree because i think he's not wrong when he's like you think we bring out the worst in each other or at least like i don't know it seems like

Starting point is 00:06:24 whatever she's learning with him is necessary in that you know he allows her to tap into a side of herself that she can't with jules because she has to not be the addict with Jules. And with this guy, she's free to be a part of herself that, like, she says, like, I feel like I can be fully me when I'm high. And that's, that's tough. So I understand what the character represents, but I'm really worried about what that will culminate with, especially because, yeah, like the reunion of Jules and Rue so fraught at first with all this sort of unspoken, just like, oh, you know, like, we're both really defenses up, hackles raised. you left and

Starting point is 00:07:07 when did you relapse you know right when you let all that stuff harsh uh freaking we got the fess deep dive love that that was great hard story but uh but I loved I loved his grandma

Starting point is 00:07:20 it was cool to get to see her in her element cool a role for that actress I'm sure uh yeah freaking Cassie Nate I'm terrified Cassie Maddie I'm terrified

Starting point is 00:07:34 uh I don't know. It's fascinating the way that Nate and Cal are such dominoes for so many things. And then Cal is just sort of this looming ghoul who like juts into the story every once in a while. And then like to watch him go back and forth as Nate also grows and finds himself is fascinating. Because for him to be like, sit out. I am in fucking control. And then Nate's like, I got your tape.

Starting point is 00:08:01 And he's like, I'm sorry. I just want to apologize. I don't know what I'm doing here. Yeah. Like his fragility like as alongside his like hypermasculine stoicism is fascinating. They normally are. When you're hypermasculine like that, you tend to be very fragile in the inside,

Starting point is 00:08:18 which is why you're a bit of, some of them are a bit of a prick to other people who don't match up to what their standards may be. Yeah, it's fascinating to watch him have the same vibe, but then you calibrate your brain. And you're like, oh, he's freaking out. He's just very stoic while he's freaking out. But what he's saying is clearly, oh, shit, I'm not in control anymore. Right. And, yeah, it makes me worried and sick inside. But these questions that we have from our super royal sexy rejects are going to get into the meat of what there is to talk about with this episode.

Starting point is 00:08:52 Let's just jump in right now. Let's do it. Jaden Rhodes. Hold on. Let me blow this shit up so that it's big and easy to read. Here we go. All right. Sorry.

Starting point is 00:09:03 Your clap was good. I was talking. over it. All right, take it away. Jane Rhodes, I think the first episode was one of the best of the entire show. It just really felt captivating. And the ending with Fez and Nate was awesome. I'm curious Fialgree. And do you like the start

Starting point is 00:09:17 of the season? And I'm going to just pull in Pierre right now. Pierre the Rejects also asks, what did you think of the beat down that Fez gave Nate? I don't think that and then we'll jump into Malik right

Starting point is 00:09:33 after this because we can use this as a jump jumping point. But first and foremost, the beat down. I will use this as my happy place. If ever the show gets to be too much. Oh, it will. Every 10 minutes or so. Yeah, 100.

Starting point is 00:09:50 I had to call on it throughout the second episode. I had to be like, you know what? Just imagine that bottle smashing on Nate's face and him going down and nothing. Just fess just freaking like very cathartic, very. very cathartic moment. I'm not a violent person, but I have, you know, be held in this life once or twice.

Starting point is 00:10:14 I have beheld a circumstance wherein I could feel the vibration in Manukes where you want to, you know, just like cave a face. Totally. And what Fez got to do there. The Lord's work. So very cathartic. Love that. The first episode, though, very strong, I would say.

Starting point is 00:10:33 Yeah, I agree. I think the beat down definitely. made it. That whole party was focused on us kind of forming relationships being a little uneasy about obviously Cassie and Nate, but then we get to see Lexi with Fez. But then it all goes to shit. When he takes off his sweater and he's like,

Starting point is 00:10:50 Ashley, go get to car ready, the beat down is what makes that episode. Right at New Year. Yeah. Totally. I love the way that scene played because, yeah, they get up and you're like, what's going on? Some is wrong here. So it was weird. Like, what's the vibe? And then yeah, he walks up to the counter and the way they have that exchange and the way you think is going to be cool.

Starting point is 00:11:09 You got any resolutions? No, what about you? Yeah, I got a few. Like, you know, they're having this double speak convoy that says a lot of stuff. Yeah. And then, yeah, then he, it was a very good punctuation moment.

Starting point is 00:11:22 And as a season starter, I really liked, yeah, starting off with the Fez Deep dive, having that bookend a very significant, I assume they ended the first episode with him beating Nate down because that will be a thread that's going to be hugely significant, and that's probably going to ripple outward greatly. I'm very worried for Fez.

Starting point is 00:11:42 But, yeah, like, transitioning out of his backstory into the party and then the sort of onset of nerves and anxiety that comes from that, seeing the way they handled Rue and Jules getting back together, I thought was really well handled in the way they shot. That made it sort of very dissociative at first and very sort of in the aloofness that they're both feeling and then, you know, kind of opens up as they actually start to communicate with each other. I thought that was nice.

Starting point is 00:12:11 Lexi and Fez love that. So I love what Mon Apoteau has been doing. And she's been kind of like a, a like, she's been here since the start. And it's like not one of the most focal characters, but she is like a really steady character to follow. And she's one of the characters who gives me respite. Yeah. And so I like that they're together. She always has.

Starting point is 00:12:33 I like that they're flirting with being together. And that whole scene in the second episode where the shop was very tense. And I'm sure that her being there was very helpful for him not dying. Right. But, but yeah, I thought that was a very strong first episode, I would say. And, yeah, like, it's hard because to do a reintroduction, a first episode, a, like, sort of pilot and also, you know, to, like, start off with a bang, but also continue and set the, you know, tone and, like, sort of pilot. and also, you know, to like start off with a bang, but also continue and set the, you know, tone and stuff like that. Like, you know, that's a bit of a balancing act.

Starting point is 00:13:06 It's a big call to answer. So, yeah. Love the beat down. Good ass first episode. Malik. Take it away. How bad do you think the aftermath will be after the New Year's Eve party? Well, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 00:13:21 Not bad at all, Tara. We're good. Everyone's resolved. You know, honestly, I kind of think because we're, we already got to watch episode two that the fact that Nate told his dad,

Starting point is 00:13:37 like, listen, we're in the shit because of you and like, she didn't know you're filming her. That now I'm like, now he might not go after Fez at all. Like now I feel like we have a one-up a little bit on the dad. And I feel like Fez, he might not go after Fez because Fez is like he's going to know like we can't I'm a little excited to be like okay

Starting point is 00:14:00 how are we going to use this one up now that dad knows that other people know the information word has been spread yeah uh that I'm like okay there's that's got to make him less powerful and I would like to see how that goes I have so many ideas in my head and I'm fascinated and terrified to entertain any of them because yeah like I think they've done some foreshadowing here of obviously I don't know if freaking cow's going to go murk-fez at some point certainly feels like that

Starting point is 00:14:29 and they leave off with that very paranoid like he's casing the house with a shotgun and so yeah I feel like that's going to be a big ripple throughout the season obviously you're setting back up Jules and Rue you're showing you know the other girls and their

Starting point is 00:14:45 friendships with each other both and their personal struggles and you've got cat and Ethan and all that's everyone's set up nicely um but yeah it's i really uh part of me is like is cow ultimately going to realize he can no longer control Nate try and kill Fez and then pin that on Nate because people would believe that Nate would have the motivation to do that like I I I don't want Fez to die that's that's that's uh that's my worst fear in the aftermath of new years um I think what I would want is feds to kill Cal and go all right. Well, I'm fine with that.

Starting point is 00:15:21 Yeah. I really am. Yeah. You know, we can just have him. If we can just get like, you know, Nate and Cal to, you know, try and stake out Fez's place and then Fez and Astray can take them both out. Right. And we're good. Then we're really good.

Starting point is 00:15:34 Then everyone heals. Then the show gets boring, John. That's true. We can't have that. No, we can't. I can only assume it's going to get a lot harsher before it gets a more fun. J. Dell. After Ruse's intense opening.

Starting point is 00:15:49 monologue about Fez and the chaos of the New Year's party. Do you think Rue genuinely believes she has control over her addiction at this point, or is she just convincing herself? She does. Oh, God. She does not have control over her.

Starting point is 00:16:05 I think she's fully aware of the game that she's playing. And I don't think she has to convince herself of anything. I don't even think she was trying to convince herself. I think she knows exactly where she's at. And when you're at a point where you don't feel like you want to be here anymore, there's not a lot that matters.

Starting point is 00:16:22 So you don't have to convince yourself of anything. You're just going to do or you're going to do anything that makes you feel good, even if it's bad. That's why she's hanging out a lot with Christian. She's not thinking, you know, if you have to think back

Starting point is 00:16:37 about what, you know, her sponsor said is like drugs fundamentally change who you are as a human. She's not thinking on a normal human level. That's not what she's going to be capable. love right now. Yeah. Control costs a lot of energy and resilience

Starting point is 00:16:57 and it takes a lot of motivation and I feel like what Rue really wants at this moment is to let go. You know, I don't, I feel like she's a character who is exhausted of regulating and she's said, you know, I feel the most myself when I'm giving myself over to the addiction. So, uh, so yeah, I mean, I think there's an attempt to sometimes to delude herself for that whole thing

Starting point is 00:17:20 about like, I'm good at my job and like, clearly there are times where I'm like, you're not as good at your job as you think you are. Which I'm sure is true

Starting point is 00:17:26 of many addicts. But yeah. Her job, when she goes, that's how we know how not serious she's taking it. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:17:34 It's like, she's in that meeting. I think she selectively believes that she has control when it like is what she needs to, yeah, it's when she's got a scheme. But I think deep down

Starting point is 00:17:44 she knows she's, she's diluting herself. I agree. Selena, I've been enjoying rewatching this show with you both, been loving your reactions. Thank you so much. My question is, how are you enjoying the cinematography? I think the way they used colors and lighting is amazing.

Starting point is 00:17:58 Also, how satisfying was it to watch a naked, beaten up with the first episode, you think as well deserved, love you both, X OXO, XXO back, Selena, yes. I love that everyone's here for the Nate Veedale party. Yes, who are we? If that's all we watch, I'd be like, the best show on the internet

Starting point is 00:18:15 because I have, vengeance. I always want vengeance and I got it. Dude. Satisfied. Ooh, all right. We're rolling in Latin. I like it. I wonder if GDT saw this episode or saw these couple episodes and was like, oh my God, with that scar on this face? I can't do a Garumo impression. I probably shouldn't try. But yeah, like I like that he got all franked up.

Starting point is 00:18:41 Yeah, yeah, yeah. The cinematography is gorgeous. I think we sit through a lot of these episodes being like, this freaking shot. and that freaking lens flare and this color choice and you were pointing out like the times where in camera they will change the light to yeah like black the whole background out and create a spot on Rue or whatever.

Starting point is 00:18:59 Yeah. In one transition which is phenomenal. Absolutely. And the different like oneers where they're going through the party and changing scenes actively. That's one thing they their oneers are great. Yeah. That's something they teach you is like when you're doing camera movement

Starting point is 00:19:14 over a prolonged period of time, especially what you kind of want to do is weave together a number of different frames. Even if you're moving, you kind of like, this is frame one. And we kind of move on this general idea. And then we move on to frame two. They're really good at doing that stuff. They're really good at doing stuff where, like, they were in the midst of one of those shots. And you're watching, like, with the divide through a wall of like Cassie and McKay or somebody

Starting point is 00:19:40 are over here. And that's the main scene. But then if you care to look, you see Nate over here, just like, lurking. lurking. And so there's, this is a, like, music video directors must do so much of this. But yeah, I, this really feels like crafted and you can feel the, like, playishness about the stuff they do in camera. And again, the way it's like, shit, how much choreography and practice did you do to get this flare absolutely right? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:20:05 And the film grain, they toss over certain things versus other things. You could go on. Like, this show is this cinematography. nerds dream in every sense of the word in terms of like lenses and focus in terms of lighting choices in terms of cool angles in terms of like here's a crane or a dolly or some shit yeah totally and a lot of that has to do with the DP and the team the lighting right but then the second part of it is like he was saying but if you're to look further in the background that's like a first ad's job so it's like obviously the first team that they that they built here to make euphoria is a great team

Starting point is 00:20:44 Because you see it in the details, right? That it's like a DP can't control all of that. You have to have a really good gaffer. And a director has to have a really good first and second AD who's in charge of setting up the extras to go, you're moving here. I need you. I'm in Video Village. I'm looking.

Starting point is 00:21:02 Director is here directing the main part. And sure, he's going to have ideas he or she about what may happen in the background. But that's the first and second AD's job. And like in you saying that, I'm like, oh, the team that they. built here for euphoria specifically phenomenal yeah in terms of craft like tour to force and and two i mean you're also

Starting point is 00:21:23 talking about you have all these it's like yeah it's all the additional hands that you imagine must go on to this and I had a thing i was going to add to what you just said about like the a ds and stuff yeah but it eludes me it'll come back uh but yeah suffice it to say like

Starting point is 00:21:38 incredible work and yeah it's one of those shows where like so little is wasted. Yes. And it's a show where it really feels like the style is super hypnotic and permeating. So it easily feels like style over substance. And yet when you're engrossed in it, you're like, nothing is really wasted here.

Starting point is 00:21:58 And nothing really feels like nobody thought about it or like it was just off the cuff. Yes. You know, every shot feels somebody drew that, thought it out. It was put on a storyboard. And if that one slide on the storyboard. storyboard look like a snooze they're like no yeah it's gonna be backlit the sun's gonna look like it's shining and they're like but we're at a party and you're like it doesn't matter we're gonna have an arm in the background and i'm talking about when when rue and jewels are backlit when they

Starting point is 00:22:28 first have that kiss at the party it's like the the orange lights coming at them and all you see is kind of arms where you're like wait are we still at the party are we in a dream and then you realize no they we're making this a motherfucker moment moment yeah yeah yeah Yeah, I agree. Yeah, absolutely. Every frame, a painting, and they shoot, like, really well for the edits and all that stuff. Like, yeah, can't say enough. And also can't say enough about how satisfying it was to watch Nate get the beat down from Fez.

Starting point is 00:23:00 Jay rushed in. Question. What's up, Jay? What, if any, of the characters, are you most like Tara? Oh, interesting. Yeah. What if I was just like, Roe? Nate.

Starting point is 00:23:14 You're the need of this channel. You're always pushing people in the corners being like, here's what's going to happen, all right? Here's what you didn't know about how I've drawn this whole conspiracy around you to wreck your fucking existence. I can get these people in gear. I will tell you that. You can.

Starting point is 00:23:28 I can. I can wrangle them. I mean, I really do like... Your Fez's grandma. That's the best choice ever because I really do love her character. Like, I love her. In the flashback, right? You're flashback grandma.

Starting point is 00:23:45 Flashback grandma. You're a kiddie car in the, yeah, your big ass, like, cool Pimpmobile. Totally. I'm fucking grandma. Like, I'm going with it because her attitude was so great. She's like, she's not putting up with crap. And she takes the freaking kid as like, she's like, oh, he's here as a, what was it? Like a tradeoff.

Starting point is 00:24:06 But it's funny, the way they shot that specifically is that she's still like a good grandma, even though she's bad. It's like the same thing as Cassie's mom, right? They're bad, but like we're displaying this badness of her smoking. But the kid is in the bath, right? She put the kid there. It's not like Fez is giving the kid a bed. She's still taking care of him.

Starting point is 00:24:27 She still loves Fessiex. She's like, listen, I talk to your dad. Like talking to the dad was like shooting him twice. I love that. I love that. That's everything I want to be. And if you really effed up, I would love to be. Boom, boom.

Starting point is 00:24:40 I would never do it. But like, I want to. Dude, yeah. You were right. Who about you, though? Oh, me? I'm probably like Lexi or somebody like that. Like, I'm probably like one of the more low-key characters.

Starting point is 00:24:53 Totally. You totally are because, and you know what's so funny is because I was, I was literally like maybe Lexi because like I'm not into like, I'm not like doing cocaine and like getting blasted. But he's right. I'm kind of like, you know, I got some level of savvy, but I'm also over here being like, Yeah. So this is a little like a lot over here. I'm gonna, yeah, kind of, I'm not gonna be completely away from the trouble.

Starting point is 00:25:19 I'm gonna, you know, live a little too, but I'm also not trying to, I'm not trying to live in a Grand Theft Auto Fantasy in the way the rest of you are. And he admitted during this episode that he's also deeply shy. So it fits with her in being like, you know, where she's kind of like cute and smiling, like with the compliments, like that vibe there. She got style. And yeah, she's like a little bit shy reserved, but you can tell she kind of wants the adventure too. Yes, yes. So, yeah, I feel like Lexi and me, we vibe.

Starting point is 00:25:49 Yeah, I get that. I get that 100%. And also I'm neat. Anyway. Malique with some trivia, let's go. What do you think of Elliot being in the mix between Roon and Jules? That's a lot of trivia. That's a question.

Starting point is 00:26:02 That's an overflow question. Elliot is his name. We talked a little bit about this. Oh, yeah. I called him. Christian earlier. I don't know why. My bad. Christian Slater. Elliot, I like him as a presence, but I, like we said before, I am a little bit worried that

Starting point is 00:26:20 they're not a great influence on each other. I feel like he represents her shadow that she needs to integrate. And I feel like in ways she can do that with him, but I am very afraid of what this means for her in Jules because even though their love has been rekindled to a degree, like this is still like a kind of intimacy that is going to conflict. Absolutely. I mean, Ellie, coming into the picture to me, especially her being on the bed and him going, we're not good for each other and her saying, I'm okay

Starting point is 00:26:47 with that. That's the beginning of the end of her and Jules. That's the mix. That's what we're adding. We're adding the drama juice. Yeah. Hondo P. J. Dell closing us out with another question when Nate finally confronts Cassie about their situation. Do you think Cassie is more

Starting point is 00:27:05 afraid of losing Nate or more afraid of being alone and judged by everyone else. That's a great question. Well, the way she looked, the way she looked at him when she was in the truck, right then,

Starting point is 00:27:22 I think she was more afraid of losing Nate than judgment from anyone. I think that her addiction to Nate has taken over what her friendship would mean to her. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:27:38 Because she cried when she heard Remember when When Maddie said he just sent me The most beautiful message And she looked at she was about to cry Yeah Because it hurts her because she wants that from Nate I do to think that's still a good question

Starting point is 00:27:51 Jadel like she probably is still Doesn't want to be judged And be alone and all that juice I think Nate is more of an addiction To her now Yeah she's Cassie as a character Is getting more interesting I think Like in the first season I was sort of like

Starting point is 00:28:04 I understand what they're giving us with her But it took a while for them to start really like giving you a window into her feelings and her perspective and her emotional journey. And so, yeah, I think that's all in the soup. I think all of it. It's like when you get caught up in Nate's orbit, I feel like that's a bespoke experience for everyone. And it's probably very intense for everyone. So I think there is some level of like recognizing the energy that Nate's putting towards her. It seems very strong and potent and he has this sort of like, I love you, you know, kind of thing going on. Yeah. So I think there is some fear of losing him. I think,

Starting point is 00:28:38 I think they're good at drawing the nuance of like, you know, she's sitting here going, I'm always in a relationship and I'm thinking about, you know, being celibate for a while and just kind of like, you know, detaching myself from this whole pursuit. And yet there is also a part of her, clearly through this experience with Nate that wants to be wanted and that wants to be had and all of the other stuff. So like, I think there's a little bit of it all. And I know that the peer pressure element of like, you know, because she has her friends around being like, you, you're never going to stay single. Like. Right. Yeah, I think it's all of it. And I feel like she's a character who's very much struggling with her own identity and her place in the world and her sense of value and how to feel and be in touch with that. And also where romance and attraction plays in because those things are always just those programs are always running despite what your motivations might be. So, so yeah, I like that she's gotten more interesting as of, you know, the way the story has been drawn. And I think they're good at again depicting that mess of like. here's my cognitive motivation versus here's what I'm feeling and where my body is telling me to go.

Starting point is 00:29:44 Totally. So I feel for her, it seems like all the situations she winds up in are pretty harsh now. And like that whole bathroom thing was awful. I was actually getting overwhelmed a little bit in a sensory fashion. I saw you. Me too. I was getting agitated by like she just won't stop pounding on the door and won't stop like yelling and yeah. Then hiding in the tub and the whole rag thing and just then they're smoking.

Starting point is 00:30:07 and it's like it's all like Cassie is in a horror movie and then they're in the freaking development play it's just like yeah there's a lot of weird covert overt overt horror movie isms going totally anyway we're having a blast gang do you have anything else to tell people no loving it can't wait for more we're loving it

Starting point is 00:30:25 McDonald's they don't sue the founder of McDonald's for making Fez's dad fat so or whatever the metaphor was so we will sue them on his behalf protect Fez at all costs we love them and we'll see you next week for episodes three and four be good make good choices go to church and confess your sins amen amen
