is back today to cover Hasbin Hotel Season 2. Roxy, how are you feeling?
Really excited. I've been waiting for this moment for a really long time. When did we
watch has been season one i believe it was the early part of 2024 might have been like the very
smacked at beginning it feels like two years ago it's been a minute so i can't wait for this
i fell in love with that show then we just did all of hell of oh which was amazing i feel like if

you're uh still going you wanted to yes and me but then you were like okay what do i do i do
Trying to be nice for now.
Yeah, and I rewatched the whole thing last night.
That's so impressive, Greg.
It's so impressive that I could sit there for hours and do absolutely nothing.
But I'm ready to do this.
Guys, leave your thoughts down below in the comments of what you think about this season premiere of Hasbin Hotel.
As always, the full-length ranch and watch along where you sync up with your own copy.
We have, of course, watching this off the glorious Bezos Prime video.
Called by its name.
Bezos Prime.
Yep, the floor like they're at your watchdog
See, go with your own copy.
And we also cover some of things over there,
so with highlights and watch songs and glue.
It helps offset a lot of weird monetization issues
we are running into time of filming this.
We currently have a copyright strike,
but we will defeat the YouTube overlords at any cost with your help.
Another way you can help become a righteous reject.

See this barcode right here on screen?
You can scan it.
It takes you to the website,
or you can just copy and paste a link yourself.

any purchase and any tea from the she jacked line she gets a 1.5% cut of that pay.
And boy, does that pay the rent.
It adds up over years.
All right, Roxy, you're ready to get into this?
Yeah, baby, because I'm a loser, baby.
Like many of you guys, I love deep sci-fi worlds.
And what I'm about to share with you doesn't let you just watch the story.
It lets you live inside it, where you can command your own flag.
and recruit Harry Seldon himself.
I'm talking about Foundation Galactic Frontier,
where it literally feels like you're stepping inside
Isaac Asimov's universe,
a crumbling empire, rising factions,
and you at the center of it all.
It's the first ever mobile and PC games
based on Asimov's books,
and of course the Apple TV Plus series.
You roam freely across dozens of galaxies.
Trading, fighting, crafting,
commanding your own fleet.
Combat is dual-layered,
Massive ship battles, third-person ground missions.
Your flagship becomes your HQ, build and customized 30-plus rooms, assign crew tasks,
and manage resources strategically.
Like I said earlier, you can recruit legends like Harry Seldon, Hober Mallow, and even Denmersel from season three.
Every decision shapes history.
So are you loyal to the empire, a believer in the foundation, or ready to go completely rogue, Tom Cruise style.
You choose.
The game takes place between season two and three, right before the mules rise.
This is the moment you can change the fate of the galaxy.
Down the mobile version or the PC version free right now on iOS, Android, and PC.
You can click the link below to claim free heroes, battleships, and limited time launch cosmetics before they disappear.
Your foundation fan, you definitely do not want to miss the opportunity to step inside the universe whilst it's unfolding.
Okay, Greg, all right.
I still don't even know
what Vivian Medrano looks like.
Slots and slits.
Slit.
Slit.
Sli.
I'm talking you the latest in hell's hottest news.
What the fuck is going on at the Haspin Hotel?
Huh.
It's been a while since Heaven attacked Hell and Charlie Morningstar and the Hasbin Hotel
brutally slaughtered the invading angel.
I wonder if every season will start off with a news report.
Heaven still hasn't made their next move.
Do you have a caption option?
Unfortunately not.
Morningstar has declined to come on the show to comment.
The world needs to know, Tom.
Will she stop at angels?
Who's at the top of Charlie Morningstar's hit list?
Maybe it's me.
Oh my God.
Trust us with your everything.
Really throwing us in there.
I bet Vox is going to be more of a villain this time.
Wow.
a newly remodeled has been hotel looking good baby
i lost my fucking room
oh dude look at they're so busy my name's uh changing
for now call me baggie have a lovely day here's your key thank you so much for
saying with us really happy for her i know here alister
could you help out please oh this seems like a you
problem machine it's not her name really what happened to the whole host of the hotel
Oh
There is Charlie Morning Star
Is it true she drinks angel blood
To improve her gay power
Whoa, it's Steamboat Willie
Is it true?
This hotel is recruiting a hellishaw
And should I divorce my wife
If you have to ask
I have three torment and tonics
Four virgin sacrifice
Pinacolidas and something called
A harder daddy
Oh that one's for me
Yeah, there you go angel dust
Rewatching the angel dust stuff
was just as sad
How about you help me serve these drinks?
Who wants to come stay at the Hasbin Hotel with me?
Oh, yeah.
Good for you.
Whoa.
Is she gonna be a serious regular now?
I'm hanging at the hotel.
I'm not staying at the hotel.
Has anyone seen Charlie?
I think I saw her in the lounge.
When you see you, can you ask her if she's still up for the therapy session today?
I'm kind of getting into talking about feelings.
No way.
Greg loves therapy.
I love therapy.
This video is sponsored by Huell.com.
And here's when Pensions cried when he first lost a cherry ball.
And here's when Pensions cried after telling me,
I'm the most handsome egg boy he's ever seen.
So cute.
He truly was the best of us.
You could totally cosplays her.
I could?
Yeah, of course.
But now I'm kind of brunette.
He invented the best things.
Even though a lot were scary weapons that hurt people, we were working on that.
Did you maybe want to come down and say hi to the new guests?
Would heavenly serpensius show up in the first episode?
Maybe in heaven, not here, I don't think.
Why wouldn't everything be great?
We beat Adam and the hotel's packs, even though lots of people died.
But it is so great.
Oh, no, she's having trouble processing.
An absolute spiral sush.
Oh, the conflict of like succeeded but traumatized at the same time.
Let's talk to this reporters.
I bet they want to know all about how redemption works just like everyone else are staying here, right?
Right.
Yeah.
First the pressure to try to get it packed.
Now the pressure to maintain the success.
I have five minutes a day to enjoy my smoke break and you're topping up my space.
Oh, there she is.
Hello.
Oh, she's going to become a real character now.
You can't tell me what the fuck this is.
Oh, we just wanted to give it a flashy time.
Why is it so positive?
Why is it so positive?
I'm so sorry, sir.
You can punish me if you want to.
Ew.
Oh my God.
He said, ew.
I have a better angle for this has been hotel.
We just have to find the right spin.
Oh.
Things, you sexy TV man.
No, give it up, girl.
Okay.
So this season will probably deal more with like media manipulation control.
Ready for you, Vox.
Yes, sir.
We sure will.
Shut up, Tom.
Like truly honing in on the control of the narrative.
Howder daddy?
Why'd he do it?
We were rivals.
All I'd ever done was with him.
He probably liked your big bomb.
I like having more of her.
I wish I could see him again.
To punch him in the face for dying shit.
You need the therapy too, Jerry.
Sweet baby demons, Vaughn.
There are a lot of sinners here.
Oh, there she is.
Oh, Charlie.
Wash it over.
Look at me.
Food shifts are wild.
Charlie, how many angels did you kill personally?
Do they scream?
Hey, Charlie, how do angels scream when they die?
Is it like...
Oh, ha, ha, ha, ha.
Look at her.
Charlie's inspired, people.
Ahem.
Hello there.
I'm Charlie.
Welcome to the Hasbin Hotel.
And what is your name?
My name is Baxter.
Hello, Baxter.
Are you checking in with us?
I intend to, yes.
It's a shape of water.
Aw, look your little lab coat.
Then we're going to see something that we don't want to see.
I hope we do this season.
I am not an inventor.
I am a scientist.
Some could classify me as a mad scientist.
Okay.
That's so cool.
I bet you're just like him.
If you're referring to that pompous snake, I'd like it known.
I am nothing like him.
He seems similar enough.
Hey, everyone.
Meet Pensions.
Baxter.
Right.
Baxter.
and you're here to be redeemed pankster
We'll just love how they have a character
It looks just like Steamboat Willie
My hypothesis is that it's impossible
Uh, that's a terrible scientific thesis
Come on in
Here's your keys
Your hotel
Strang
Dual meaning
The validation
That still has been guaranteed
Your feelings
And the car
Yeah, you got it.
You got it, Roxy.
She's a barred
And
She's
She's you, Greg
She's you, Greg.
Yeah, I think I would ever lay more with her.
season.
Checking in.
I'm seeking guidance.
From my reckoning.
I'm reckoning.
I've never turned to violence.
I'm checking in.
I'm seeking guidance.
You stopped.
Because dialogues aren't happening.
Oh, man. The Vs are going to be the ultimate threat.
You think more than anything with heaven relations?
Imagine at least for the first half of this season.
Wow.
We trademark all your whiles. There's no such thing as being.
We trademark all your own.
Okay, 18 much
But we'll do get the kicks from souls who hate you
Ooh
And we can't sell the scandal
Hope you have fun but we are done with you
Your run is canceled
Are you asking
Are you asking me?
Are you asking me?
No, that's what the
the songs are doing right now.
Because sell.
I would gladly sell my soul.
When will you launch your next attack on the angel?
What did that angel smell like?
Are all the sinners here part of your anti-angel army?
I killed my wife.
He actually went through with it.
Are any of you here for redemption?
I thought this hotel was where we came to kill angels.
Yeah, who cares about redemption?
Her design is wild.
Yeah.
We shouldn't kill them.
We need to be better.
than them right oh my god i mean
the adam slayer
will you stab me someone get a picture of her stabbing me
oh yes no
that's some scream territory
wow this whole theme of the episode is about narrative manipulation
is this now officially the angel killer hotel
charlie have all your staff killed angels
Charlie, do you have to be a cannibal
to sign up for the angel killing army
hotel? And I regret killing my
Charlie, are you okay?
Yeah, I'm, I'm fine.
I just...
Oh, man. Charlie ain't looking too good under pressure.
Negative.
Shouldn't you help her?
Should I?
Perhaps.
Will I?
No.
Do I enjoy being difficult?
Most definitely.
Mm-hmm.
Poof.
Here I am.
Hey, first episode.
Hey, don't worry, Charlie.
Someone important is here to help.
Oh, shit, what's that?
That's the rubber ducky.
It wasn't until the rewatch when I understood why people were pointing out the rubber ducky.
So you said it was easy.
Yeah.
I was in a marketing meeting about which trends are worth killing over.
Oh, yeah, he likes to talk.
But you don't have to listen.
You can just focus on me, baby.
Oh, that shape of water.
Aww.
Aww.
What?
Because we need to discuss some of your recent public displays.
All right.
You can't just with Carmilla Carmine in front of other overlord.
And Valentino, you cannot keep hitting angel dust in public.
When have I ever hit him?
Oh, this is really sad.
As we all know, Charlie Morningstar recently proved that angels can be killed.
And not just angels, the big motherfuckers, the big boys.
The big boys.
But I think we can spin that.
I think we can use the hotel's reputation and hell's renewed hope.
Weird.
The hell wide uprising against heaven with us at the top.
Oh wow.
Propaganda machine.
Okay, from the top.
And I'll try to go slow.
Are you going to sing it?
I'm so excited.
Oh, bummer.
It's gearing up.
There's usually two songs.
It's.
Dad.
How do you?
deal with all the stress of being in charge of things.
I have no idea, daughter.
Yeah, I don't know.
I just manage.
Mom would know what to do.
It's called hospital visits.
She was always so good at this.
Staying calm, being the voice of the people, being the...
When are we going to get her?
I think episode three will get a full episode.
Do you miss her?
Oh, yeah.
Every second of every day for the past, what is it, almost eight years?
Hey, Mr. 2.
Oh, I thought it'd be longer.
I'm me too.
She'd be so bright of you.
Aw.
At least I'd hope so.
Oh.
Say you know so.
The show must go on, Charlie.
And you.
Oh, they're doing this song.
More than anything.
The account holder on this line is unavailable.
Or they're avoiding you.
Leave a message.
Hey, Mom.
It's me.
Again.
Just like the first episode.
I'm sorry to bother you, but
I'm so overwhelmed right now.
They want to kill angels, which is the opposite of what I stand for.
And I know you wanted demons to be empowered, but this is the wrong way.
And I'd love some advice.
Yeah, no, episode two, I think.
He's not so bad, and he misses you.
So just give me a call back.
I really need you.
It's like eyes in the sky.
Oh, that's an icon.
Hey, did you hear I killed my wife?
I don't know why that bit's working for me, but it is.
Why are you changing your name again?
Because Adam gave you that name and it's demeaning.
I feel like I got to give myself one, you know?
How about Baggison?
Maybe you should lose the badge.
Yeah.
I'm listening.
Here's a story.
I have an announcement to make.
What is it, babe?
This is the Hasbin Hotel.
We do not kill angels here.
So everyone who isn't here.
to be redeemed, please leave now.
They're all gone.
I believe in every sinner.
You all can change and be redeemed and earn your way to a better life.
If you believe in our dream, then you are welcome to stay.
I knew it.
I'm sad.
Please a couple of you stay.
I suspect this endeavor will end in spectacular failure, which will make a thrilling research.
essay.
Well, it's only a worthy experiment if you actually try.
Welcome to the hotel, Baxter.
So is he like the new Pensions?
No.
I wrote Baxter's Pensions 2.0.
And that's how we'd rule heaven.
Any questions?
Oh, he's the new Pensions. That's what they were saying.
Why do we even need to rule heaven?
How would we like get up there?
Semantics, Val. Let me tell you a story.
Here we go.
I was the leader of a very, very.
influential group you mean the cult you could call it a cult but I'd say it was more of a
movement okay it never felt closer to being a god that's a feeling that I'd give
anything to get back we have the chance to be God oh heavens how'd you
this before? Because I can anticipate.

It's top of growth, let's rule about.
Take total control.
No.
Ah.
Yeah.
One princess

To make those halo
cabronas.
Oh, no.
a whole new problem.
Really cool animation on this song.
Get up there.
Oh boy.
Nice button.
Hey.
What do you think about Vanessa?
Not you.
It's not you at all.
There's too many V names in the show.
Get an I.
I love it.
I don't.
Come up with a good one.
Vanessa means butterfly.
Try to name her.
Vigida.
Viagra.
Violin.
I wish I could just stop the feelings and just do what I need to do.
I just can't.
Charlie, the feelings are important.
You're allowed to feel them.
How about you just let me take on more of the hotel stuff?
So cute.
Until you're ready.
Really?
Lovers.
The hotel is yours.
Hey, what do you think about the name Vazi?
Sounds cool and tough.
Right?
Uh...
Yeah, I'll keep
workshopping.
Vazzy?
Charlie Morningstar
Hell's greatest threat.
That's right, Katie.
Our recent reports
from the Hasbin Hotel
tell us that Morningstar
demanded all demons
seeking retribution
for the exterminations
to get out
on threat of death.
What?
Army for demons
who want to fight back
and instead...
Look at the bottom attacks
was so absurd.
I'm scared and everyone else should be too.
In other news.
A bus tech, the Vs, are now offering sanctuary to all those affected by Charlie Morningstar's action.
Oh my God.
Don't listen to those chuckle fuck.
Crazy.
She saved everyone.
I'm sure this will be all news in a week.
For now, I'm getting you a harder daddy.
Didn't you, uh.
Huh?
For now, I'm getting you a what?
Oh, no, what with the angels back?
Long story short, Pentius was redeemed, and he is in heaven now.
Yay!
Oh.
Yes, your hotel totally works.
Congratulations.
Bye!
Oh, good job letting her know.
It's like the more pressure.
Oh, boy.
Well, well, well.
All right.
We're going to put episode two here together.
It's called Storyteller.
Let's get to it.
Then we'll talk about it.
it is a little tough to go from hell of a boss and hasman hotel with subtitles to pay
close attention i i missed a couple lines and i tried to yeah it's a little bit a little bit tougher
especially with the lyrics yeah the music on the show is just so superior to like anything
well this is quite the warm mediate sir pensions i'm excited what is the meaning of this sir
You commanded an extermination of hell, and you kept it from us?
How long has this been going on?
Oh, no.
What if hell wants vengeance on us now?
Will the morning star return?
What, what, was it?
I don't know, but dead.
He should be, I don't know really.
That's me right now.
How is this possible?
Was this redemption?
You told us, souls were decided that nothing could change that.
I wonder if God's going to come in this time.
You, demon, how did you get here?
I am.
you did you get here you did a selfless act
you had to have forced your way in it was like part of adam's rules
how did you get past the gate peter did you let him in
sarah he didn't force his way in we both saw it don't say it
emily what happens to forgiveness this is the room of the speaker
and i will use my voice with all due respect seraphim i was right about them
this demon filth is not to be trusted heaven is so much more
sinful.
Hi, can I cut in up?
Hi, hello. Abel here.
Son of Adam.
Rest in peace.
Abel!
I really just wanted to say...
Shut up, Abel.
Adam didn't even fucking like you.
I think it might be good
to stay on the subject of this
colorful snake thing.
Have we met Kane?
I don't think so.
This is about Sir Pensions.
Fine.
Tell us.
How did you get here?
Demon.
Sarah, calm yourself.
Whoa.
Who and the what?
My dear child, please, tell us your story.
God?
Is it?
Well, I don't, um, I'm not much of a storyteller, you know, and I don't, uh, I don't know how I got here.
Is this Lilith in different form?
Who are you?
I'm known as the Speaker of God.
Oh.
Okay.
Tell your story.
My story.
Well, I was once an inventor.
in london whoa we're gonna actually see their heaven i was a hermit of sorts out or socialize earth backstory
i didn't have friends i had my work and my machines uh-huh tendency to watch things people in particular
fascinated huh these lives i could see some moments more private than others but still yearn for a connection
a woman wandering past my workshop and then i saw jack the ripper
i knew who did it and i did nothing what if she's cherry i could have i could have done
something brought the man to justice but i i didn't definitely seems like fear that man went on to
kill five more women so it is jack the ripper why are you here now my child
I don't know.
My friends were in danger.
Shelly was in danger.
Oh, he overcame his fear and helped.
The exact opposite of what sent him to hell.
I would do something.
He was redeemed.
You've been enlightened.
At least she admitted it.
I know, right?
No!
You are not really buying this shit.
Oh my God.
He was a spineless coward who let people be murdered.
But then he attempts a murder himself and he wins a time.
What is this perpetual condemnation?
You acted selfless.
You cared more for the lives of others.
It's religious hypocrisy.
Ultimate sacrifice.
You were able to atone.
Able.
You are a cleansed soul.
A free soul.
You have nothing left to fear here.
You're the Speaker of God.
Wouldn't you've already known all this?
Aw, cute.
Good vibes.
Speaker of God should know what sends someone to heaven.
That's what I'm saying.
Wouldn't they know this?
His past.
He comes to us a soul who understands and was willing to overcome.
Maybe she did know she just wanted him to share with everybody.
Heaven welcomes you, Pendleton.
Oh, I don't use that name anymore.
You can call me, sir.
Pinchess.
Your Highness, I know you are wise.
Far beyond me, but this beast came from the dark pit sent by the princess of hell herself.
We cannot fall for his lies.
He was under the command of the morning.
If anyone lied and deceived, it was you exorcists.
Sarah, you know more than anyone here.
Hell has tried to gain power for an uprising.
If she doesn't die, I think she's going to end up residing in hell.
Adam knew it, and now he's dead.
As head of heaven's exorcist army, I...
As what?
Sorry to interrupt, but I think I'm actually the new head of the exorcists.
He's next in line.
Sorry.
What?
Abel is Adam's son. Plus, we felt he'd handle
this situation more
fairly.
I wonder if Kane is in hell.
Yeah, probably.
I have lost so much.
I have endured.
I am willing to give my
life for heaven.
We need to go down and...
Lute, enough.
Yeah, you need to calm down.
Lou is on the last of us right now.
Like...
Yeah, serious.
You will not address the speaker like that.
Your Highness, you know why you allowed the exterminations.
Because you knew hell was a threat.
Now heaven is in very real danger and you...
Lute.
I mean, she's not entirely off.
This changes things.
It changes nothing.
Some slimy fucker tricks fate into allowing him here.
It means nothing.
I'm not that slimy.
This Sir Pensions is here now, and so he is a soul in our care.
Emily, please take him.
Tend to him.
Stand by, Abel.
Stand by, Abel.
Come on, Penny.
I'm going to make sure you have the best for a day.
Well, this isn't really my first I've been here for.
I'm happy for him.
Please, seraphim, I already spoke to Lilith.
Lily?
Yes, please.
I told her to go down and stop her bitch daughter.
You were crossing boundaries.
The decisions are mine and mine alone to make.
Call off any of your plans and report to Abel or it will be seen as treason.
Do you understand?
This is a much more serious episode.
Yeah.
And where are the tunes?
Uh, Lilith, called it. Episode two.
I switched my guest moments later.
Yeah, you did, you did.
You went for three to two.
I want her hair.
She's like a Carmen San Diego.
Are you like sugar?
We have a lot of sugar here.
Well, I'm never really trapped.
Or kittens?
Puppies.
Coalas?
Oh, I'm allergic.
What about penguins?
They are really cute.
Endangered on Earth.
It's so cute.
We have like literally so many here or any animal you want to cuddle with.
They're endangered on Earth, but a lot of here because they died.
At least we know animals go to heaven.
Oh, my name, yes.
There is one thing I really want.
What is it?
I really just want to see my friend.
I want to know that they're okay.
Oh, they are fine.
I help, but don't worry about it.
Can I see them?
Well, no.
Oh, gosh.
I'm sorry.
I just mean...
Oh, my God.
She's such a tryhard.
So I'm alone again.
No.
No, I'm here for you.
Jesus, exactly the Charlie's counterpart.
Wow.
He's going to make so many new friends here.
He's so alone.
Five stars and no one hears that dig to two.
Oh man, no, don't blow this song.
The irony.
Yeah, I forgot to mention you're not able to leave, but look on the bright side.
What?
How miserable is there in this whole song?
song.
Oh, poor pensions.
No, don't do it.
Oh my god.
Maybe that didn't help actually.
Ive.
I have sin.
Speak, my child.
I thought what I was doing was right for our people, but now, now I'm faced with knowing
it was all.
That's so hard.
Oh, whoa.
Back to back.
What kind of leader can't tell good from evil.
Sometimes it's hard.
Oh, the what if?
Wow.
Yesterday is history.
Good question.
Everyone's contending with doubt.
You can't know though time flows on the cross be stowed upon you.
She says that's so positively.
I love the death they're giving her, man.
Forgive yourself is what it's about.
Nobody else is blaming you, but you.
Everyone here is contending with doubt.
Wow, Lou is going through it.
It's like drug withdrawals almost.
A lot of these top dogs in heaven are also contending with the fact that they're,
everything they've stood as for purpose is now.
being completely shattered.
Adam?
You're alive?
Was that Adam?
Oh, now,
now, I'm in your head.
Guess you missed me that much, huh?
The best type of returning character.
Nobody's listening to me.
What?
Lame.
Do they know that I, uh, died?
They don't care.
Well, it's up to you then.
Wolverine.
I have to decide what action will be taken
regarding how much of a threat hell could be now.
They know what they can do to us,
and many of them.
of them will be wanting to take out their pain on us.
You have to have a conversation.
Communications key, Greg.
We are ready and waiting, ma'am.
With our knives and our helmets and some other pointy things.
She needs a stronger inner circle to consult.
See, I don't much like confrontations.
So I don't love the idea going down there for revenge or anything.
Slink.
They did sort of kind of kill my dad a little bit.
So maybe?
I'm pretty okay with either option, to be honest.
Yeah, weak counsel.
I just watched the door.
Of course.
Thank you both.
You may go.
This is my decision to make.
At the very least, where's Emily?
Whatever choice you make, Your Highness, heaven will be behind you.
Nothing beats the sadness away quite like saturated colors and sugar.
Truth.
It's trying to build an egg.
That's about the closest I've come to my little egg boys.
He misses them.
I don't think any of us know how this works, Pentious.
He had a home.
Right, I'm one of a kind.
She's going to try to show him his people of the eggs?
New eggs.
Oh, my God.
Not quite the same as the ones you lost, since you can't see your friends.
That was really nice.
one friend here pin
one super fun silly
very cool friends
me i'm talking about me
yes i figured it was you miss she's like joy from inside out
she is and she's a little annoying
but i like her
in the
the first season he said you can call me
master and i didn't realize that
it's an actual thing he would
want to be called like formally
get out sorry
Get out
Oh, right here
Yes, I'm leaving, sorry
I'm leaving, I'm out
You know, I never like that kid
He's weak
Major, boy
He's nothing like you
Oh, yeah, that fucking sucks
The irony of having
An angel be the demon on your shoulder
Yeah
So, what's you gonna do about it?
I'm going to kill every last one of them
Uh-oh, that ain't good, Greg
Oh, third song
This is a good one
Oh
Oh, shit
Oh, damn
Oh shit, this is my favorite one so far
Yeah, me too
Lute's voice is sick.
And Adam is always good.
Oh, shadow.
Damn.
Oh boy.
Oh, cool shot.
Oh my god
Yeah
Wow
I suddenly care about her character
Because she has a great song
You didn't care about her before that
I mean I thought she was all right
But now I'm like shit
Now I want her stick around
Oh my
This is
A little creepy
But perfect
It's nice to see the nice parts of heaven
Winners
Angels and all who reside
Due to some recent concerns
over hell's rising tensions.
Uh-oh.
It has been decided for everyone's safety
that heaven will be closed off from any other realms.
Oh, and that's when she went down.
This is for the good of heaven,
and we'll protect us all.
Thank you.
How is Emily going to get out right now
to tell Charlie?
Crazy protection shield.
Do you think Charlie should not?
Oh my gosh, Charlie.
I should tell Charlie about you and this and everything.
Be right back.
Put that together nicely.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, we have just watched the first two episodes of season two of Hasbin Hotel.
Storm's coming, Greg.
Storm's coming.
Her name's Lute, right?
Lute.
Luke, got to recommend that.
Who season one didn't care about season two.
I'm all about loot.
Not that I'm on our team, but just invested.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, Roxy, I'll go to you first.
What are your feelings overall with episode one and two of this return?
I'm really glad we dropped two at the same time as dropping one.
Okay.
Because I think it really improved, like the stakes going into one feel so much higher after we watch in one that, that Emily comes
delivers this message and it's kind of like oh okay so heaven shut down and we don't get to really
know why and i was nervous that we were going to just kind of let that be a little bit of a throwaway
and then this they show us the back round of that um and in episode one you would ask me if i thought
we were going to see uh penchis or you said you thought that we would see him in episode two and
i said i thought we're going to see him in heaven and i'm glad we're seeing him in heaven and
he didn't just like immediately jump back yeah because i think we have to earn
a lot of our reunions and this season is doing a really interesting job of setting up where
characters might be and also talking about like what happens when you double down, triple down,
and when you bury your head in the sand and you have your own opinions on things and nothing
else can change your mind. So all the stuff going on is really at my alley and I just love
the show. I missed it. How about you? I think it's a really strong return.
one and two yeah it's a good setup for what's to come like is it meeting the heights of the
latter half of season one uh not quite there yet but we're setting up a new chapter we're
set up a new section but what's cool is they are leading with a lot more heart and a lot more
stakes unlike season one which was more like fun introduction and it takes a while before you
really get like an insurmountable amount of heart and additional
stakes so I like that they are literally not going what's a story we can do and trying to cook
something up this feels like an incredibly natural transgression of what would occur after and I love
this setup with Vox of it plays really close to real life you know of it's interesting to take like a
victory that they've had and now he's going to use
media to control the narrative and weaponize and manipulate.
And we know that's how life can be.
There's a line. We'll still get the clicks from those who hate you.
And it's like almost intentional.
Yeah. Yeah. They show very early on that when they're cutting to them of when they take
someone off the streets or take someone's personality and they completely warp them,
then toss them away, how they can create some type of.
falsity of identity. And that's the thing that people have to accept and who they are underneath
doesn't really matter. And that's the dichotomy and divide between what Vox is doing and versus
what Charlie's doing. Charlie's trying to get to the core of who these souls really are. It's
easy to forget that a lot of these people were souls and earth first. And she wants to get to the
core whereas they are kind of, you know, quadrupling down. And I like how they teased Vox's
earth story with him being something of a cult leader we what's he say it wasn't a cult as a movement yes
yeah every cult always knows how to find the right words to make sure they don't use the word
cult yeah but we are we are privy to a lot of cults out there right now I've been in a couple
of cults and if we're talking about religion it's weird to talk it's weird I don't want it the
cult of the Sheejects?
I don't know if people who are religious watch this show or people who are Christian watch
this show.
I kind of doubt, well, that's not fair, but like...
Can they enjoy it with just, you know, the fun it is, or do they take hyperoff?
I know people, I know there's Christian groups who take hyper offense at this show.
Yeah, you tell me because I think you were much more religious, you grew up much more
religious than I did.
I cannot imagine when I was growing up Catholic for, I would say, more of my life.
life than not there's not a chance in hell that this show would be acceptable there's no way this
would be sacrilegious this would be satanic to watch a show like this and i've i typed in hasman hotel
lore last night and the first couple things i popped up were like christian reacts and this is an
abomination and stuff oh really part of my i don't even look up religious videos but it and i didn't
even i wasn't even looking for that but it was one of the first few things that popped up
Because we've had Adam and Eve, obviously.
Now we have Abel, potentially, Cain.
You have to assume that that will be relevant.
The speaker of God, and I think that one of the things that you correct me if I'm wrong,
but tends to irk religious people is when you use actual, like, biblical terms and people,
and then you besmirch them, which is what this show does a lot.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, what would they turn Adam into?
This one. Adams is the worst. It makes fun of religion and it's pointing out the hypocrisy of it all, like the very hypocrisy of heaven, the very concept of heaven. This is actually this show praise. I don't, I didn't watch any of our reactions back, so I have no idea if I already talked on this. But that was the start of me not believing anymore was the very hypocrisy of what hell stood for in the,
story of Christianity.
There's a personal belief, again,
if you're a Christian, I actually have no
problems with you. I don't try to commit.
I know some people, if they're a Christian,
there's a couple of people I can think they go right away.
If they're a Christian, they've got to stay the fuck away from me.
Who's going to stay away?
The Christian person.
I know some people who are like that.
And I am, I'm the person
who loves to surround myself and take interest
in other people's. I really
weirdly feel
prideful in having that kind of person
because I'm like, I want to learn more about why you believe and hear the good because I had such a dark association. So I like to learn the good. So anyway, my dark association, though, is the fact that they would say, you know, you do some sins on earth, then forever you're condemned to hell. And that seems to be antithetical to the idea of an all loving, all forgiving, benevolent God. Like that made no sense to me once someone pointed out.
doubt that. And that started my
doubt, as you would say. How old were you?
I was in my 20s. It was probably like really early 20s. Like right
smack dab at 20 maybe. So this show is doing that right now. With like what does it
take first? Why does a soul go to having to begin with? They couldn't even answer on the last
one. They don't really seem to really believe in redemption. Like if you're going to
hell, Lute is even criticizing Serpentius, not for what he did in hell.
She's criticizing him for what he did on earth.
And that, to me, is that very hypocrisy that they're pointing out.
I thought it was really cool, actually, though, if we're sticking with religious
elements of the show, I thought it was really cool to show Sarah's character in this
because Sarah is so steadfast in her beliefs and what she's always been told and what she's
always known is that once you are in hell, you cannot redeem yourself. You cannot be redeemed.
That's why you're in hell. That's why she's been okay with killing anybody who's in hell.
And then when the speaker of God comes through and actually get Serpentius to give what happened
and reveal to Sarah what had happened, she changes her mind. Yeah. And I think that that's something that we obviously
see loot is not able to do. Emily does super quickly, but I think Sarah speaks to the best of us
in that moment where it's like, even if you felt positive, you were right. You were sure. You
always need to leave room for the possibility that actually you weren't. And I think that that was
really cool. And obviously there's religious themes to that. But just as a human being,
I really enjoy seeing her character then
suffer from the fact that she realizes
the harm she's caused
knowing that those souls could have been redeemed
when she had told herself that was impossible.
Yeah, that's one of the strengths of this show
is they humanize character.
We saw that with hell of a boss,
especially do that,
where they would take characters in a prior season
who seemed so two-dimensional
and then you further enhance them,
explore their humanity.
and they've done that with several characters in this one episode two when it comes to the heaven characters
Sarah who you are speaking on is a great example of that and the theme of narrative versus reality
even carries on in the second episode when you think about how the belief systems and what the rules are
the narrative spin versus the reality of Pensions is here why are we having a hard time
accepting this reality and you're coming up with a million different concepts like oh well he got here
because he snuck in he got here because he broke in and it's like no no they have to believe the
story that they were told first and it is very cult-like thing so i think the show is deeper than
it might get credit for you know i agree i think that's why i've always even though i loved hell
of a that's why i do prefer has been because i think it has so many layers another one being that
interestingly enough, Sir Pentchus finally guts into heaven, and guess where he's trying to go?
He's trying to go back to the hell, yeah.
Because that's where his friends are and the people that he loves, and this was never about getting into heaven.
And what is heaven?
What is your own heaven, if not being surrounded by people who love you and being with the people you love
in a place that you feel comfortable?
Exactly.
And here, in this heaven, he's here, and everybody's judging him, falsely accusing him of things.
looking at him and there's a whole song about how he's different and weird and and unique.
But I'm sure he's feeling like, I don't really want to be different, unique.
I want to be, can you show me my friends?
We see him in a ball on the floor crying.
And he's so happy just at the mere sight of these eggs that aren't even his eggs coming back
because anything that has familiarity.
So like this is, we call this place heaven, but we don't even know how you get here.
And also what makes this?
plays better than hell right right yeah i think the show has been common especially these last
two episodes too i've been commenting on what is real connection at the end of the day
with with ourselves and with people yes and what the falsehood of connection is i mean the very
like they're talking about the social media side with vox and then when you go to pences's earth
story it kicks off with him being just a person looking at a bunch of souls through a window but
and it gives it this false sense of connection
and that's kind of like
what we do in real life with people
when it comes to social media
so there's some cool themes
here but you know
there's the fun stuff too
besides all the heavies
well that's songs and shit
storms come in you and I both
were like I mean I was sitting here kind of like this
a little mellow and then both of us were like
what's happening? What is this
like kick butt rocker
awesome song
So we've had five songs so far, I think.
Yeah, so we had the Charlie song of the newly reformed has been.
Yeah, and that was like bright and cheery Broadway, ask, you said vaudeville.
Yeah, those first two songs were vaudeville.
And it was reminding everybody who everybody is and getting back into it.
So smart, a lot of exposition.
And then we had the song with the Speaker of God and Sir Pentious is heavenly welcome song.
and but yeah that was the one that I think
like one song
the Storm is coming one is both character
and plot like very happy
I mean a few of them are actually
I don't want to just chalk it up to them not
also Storm is coming just like the most
tune the tune was the sick
I think it's just the personal
it's also a big personal preference perhaps
yeah for sure I just think that that one
I just wrote Storm Coming banger
because like I was just vibing with that
and I think that I love her voice too
and like we were talking about you were like oh now that she has a song i'm interested in
loot and i think that that was what their intention was i think that they realized after season
one we might not care about loot because we were so focused on adam that who even remembered
who loot was after season one yes and now in this one watching her anger take over her storm is
coming um and adam be like you said the angel on her shoulder but really be the devil on her
shoulder, seeing her just
break out and this song was
sick. Sick.
Check out the big stars, big series, and
Blockbuster movies. Streaming on Paramount
Plus. Cue the music.
Like NCIS, Tony
and Ziva. We'd like to make up her own rules.
Tulsa King.
We want to take out the competition.
The substance.
This balance is not working.
And the naked gun.
That was awesome.
Now that's a mountain of entertainment.
Paramount
I wonder if the entire show will spend its runtime going back and forth between heaven and hell than showing the mirroring that both go to.
You know, like, I think there's like a not, no one's exactly a one-to-one parallel.
Some people might go, Charlie and Emily, they are the exact, you know, parallels to each other.
But I think thematically, a lot of them are very, there's a lot of parallels between them.
Do you, when you are speculating that, do you mean how every week two episodes are released and you believe maybe one will be in one place and one will be in another?
Yeah, I don't know if they'll fully do that, but it would be interesting.
It would be really interesting.
I would be really down with that because then it's almost like you're releasing an hour-long episode and splitting it in two.
Yeah.
Well, if you look at Charlie, I love how that last season ends off with success.
It is following up, it seems like, days after the event.
events of season one and it is so complicated for what she's going through because she's got the love
she's got the reverence she's got the customers but it's all again under a false narrative that
she's here to like kill a bunch of angels and shit and so she has to contend with the reality
and have to get them to face it even like oh slaying adam no that's not exactly how it went
down and she's kind of going manic you know like at a breaking point what i do what
do i do and then you go to heaven and while emily is personality wise feels most akin to charlie
and especially with the people pleasing with penches i'm like please fit in we're trying to make you
comfortable probably you you have pen you have um i'll forget her name sarah sarah sarah sarah
sarah who is short for something might be seraph seraphite something something like that seraphina
or something but yes sarah is what they call her but then yeah sarah also contending with the struggles
of the decisions that they made throughout last season two
and what is the right path forward
and it seems like both are dealing with
what is the right path forward
no one really wants war
and you got sides up both sides
where personalities are cracking
and if heaven does decide to attack
that would only make Charlie's mission
of actual redemption harder
because that would just fuel the rage within
of hell wanting their revenge
so I like how complex they
made everything. Yeah, I'm super with you. I also think like the my first initial instinct is
cool, heaven's shutting down and we hear just now like from Emily when Sir Pantius asks,
is this a good thing? And she's like, I don't know. At first you might think maybe that is good.
Let's just keep them separate. Nobody's coming into hell and killing everybody. Nobody's coming
into heaven. But like that's literal segregation. Yeah. And then you clock yourself and you're like,
no, wait, it shouldn't be that the only way for two groups of people in order to coexist
is for them to never once interact. That's crazy. We see that in this planet in this world
all the time. Like, we can't just decide if you guys can't get along, then we're going to build
the wall between you. There's got to be middle ground. So I think it will be cool to see us
working towards that and I would love if they did an episode an episode at least for another like
two weeks that'd be cool how many episodes do we get this soon eight like last time yeah and vox
was doing the same thing with welcoming the people who were felt rejected by has been hotel
reject nation reject nation and it's that again the falsehood it's like the veil of protection
when you disguise salvation as something else
when really it's just another form of manipulation.
Manipulation, yeah.
And like at first you're like, oh, that's nice.
And then it's like, what?
No, it's not.
I am more into the heaven storyline
than I am into the V's right now.
I think that might shift and flip on its head at some point.
But they're just like a bigger threat
and larger than, I don't know about bigger threat
as much as like, yeah, I guess
I'm just more interested in them right now.
Like I'm more interested in the dichotomy of
Sarah and Lute and
fake Adam being there and
what this able situation means
as opposed to the V's, but
I'm still into that enough.
Just right now, my heart is
more with the heaven story.
Well, they got a really big focus, whereas
you know, Vox's
seems, yeah, this
is very similar what they were like last time.
Yeah, and Vox is like,
We're going to take over heaven and run it.
And I'm like, how, what, who, like, that song,
how are we going to get up there and whatever it is?
We're going to get up there and do this.
It's like, dog, don't and no, you won't.
But maybe they will, we'll see.
I imagine they could.
I mean, Alistar is threatened by him in some capacity.
Yeah.
I don't even know the full history behind them.
So I'm excited to unpack that.
Yeah, more Alistair.
We didn't get that much Alistair in this in the first episode.
Not this time around.
No.
No.
in fact it's like I felt like we got so much
even though like one episode is dedicated
to hell and no one's dedicated to heaven
I feel like having got so much more meat
than held it
yeah because hell had to reintroduce stuff
weirdly when I didn't feel like
we needed to but
that's it for this week I thought
it was a really strong start
who knows if the season overall will be
as strong or if it'll end as strong
but songs are still good
also animation
updates i could see it in the movement like particularly the movement feels very like the motion is
more present so i'm excited i'm excited uh any last spring roll thoughts here roxy before we head out
i don't know what that is i was just trying to find a word spring roll baby i was going to question
some word i said this show is not a has-been it is a currently and i'm happy to be here with you
Greg happy to be here too and look we're ending our shoot on time whoa see you soon reject nation
thank you so much for being here we'll see you next week don't forget to subscribe click that bell
peace out
