And hey, without further ado, let's go. Go back to God you.

Five millimeters more. That was all. Now can you make it contagious? Oh, of course. Of course. Man. Jesus. That's going to affect the whole universe.

Yeah, that's going into season four of the boys. Now there's going to be like a, which is a super X-Men thing, like having a virus that takes away your powers. kills you or both yeah uh is very much i wonder if garth that is doesn't like this show i know derrick loves it

i've heard the show is very different sensibly from the book i feel like garthennis hates supers and i think here you there i'm getting a superhero show and like i could see how he can like the boys but i could where this would really bother them like the protagonists are the supers

yeah yeah they're getting all the like positive and negative they're actually getting some like the humans are the bad ones. Yeah. It's such a flip. The humans are totally bad. It were like the boys, the humans, I mean, there's some terrible humans.

Sure. But the humans and they are our our tier. Yeah. But here's like, no, all the humans, the parents suck. The teachers suck. Everybody's going to manipulate it. Yeah. Looking out for themselves.

But we feel sorry for the Supers and the Supers are going to be one who could help save the day. That was brilliant. That was my favorite episode of the season so far. Absolutely. I think that in episode one or. mine, my two favorites. Yeah, this was, because the one just surprised me in nowhere. Visually provocative, mind bending in all accounts, but not just for visual flair.

It was doing it to really help serve a greater narrative overall and a way to do some just solid visual storytelling or diving deep into Kate, Kate's mind going into Kate's mind and understanding her backstory more. It does surprise me how good she is. She's very socially capable I would feel like she'd be a lot shyer. A lot of YouTube. Yeah, there's got to be a way she's like

socialized. She has to a lot of like. Yeah, I mean, probably just learn via media. Yeah. Or maybe it was trained, but it's just she seems so capable of social. It's the one psychological element of it that kind of throws me off a tad bit is this woman's been so caged and then she goes to school and she knows how to flirt. She wants to fix so bad. I think it's just like, how do I blend in? How do I fix myself? How do I get people to like me? Her whole character is how do I get people to like me and her trying to not feel like she's doing the wrong thing while knowing she is.

Yeah, I think it's, I think the answer is there in the show. I don't feel like it's a flaw or criticism, really. It was the one thing that was like, huh, interesting. Well, and there's a pretty solid gap of time between when Shetty comes and takes her to when we join her now. I mean, she's still, like, decently young at that point, right? I mean, nine plus she looked like. Nine years. How old did you think she was when she, her brother did she say?

It was like seven or something? So that'd be 16 And then college is like 19 I think yeah I think you could Partly imagine it is like you're thinking back On yourself you probably imagine yourself A little more articulately or whatever

Than you were at a younger age Oh that's good point too Like her memory of herself is probably like You know social But yeah she might be like feral But yeah maybe through this experience Going away with Shetty That would easily open her up to

You know at least some sociology with other kids Who probably had a similar experience She's like a sophomore or junior So that's what I was saying like 19 She'd have some time because Monica is the only freshman, right? Yeah. It's a good thing her powers went berserk. It's okay.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to come to a point of understanding. Yeah. They would never forgive each other. They would have killed her. Would not have sufficed. We have to legion wipe everyone and then come together. They had to really go all into the memory noggin there. And that is the only way you could really come to a true sense of understanding is allowing them to experience it vicarious.

Tell me and my friends forgive each other. We're talking about. Yeah, he's got to go into the minds. Yeah. All those sound bath parties, I invite you, too. We're just get in a room. We're just five, man. Boom.

I know. Everyone's performance here is so strong, though. And this is a story of, like a lot of superhero stories. A lot of it is about self-acceptance. And everyone here has a journey of self-forgiveness, self-acceptance. And really zeroing in on everyone's flaws. And what makes them human is the, the dual emotions of everyone even right down to marie i love i love dealing with that core memory

of hers of seeing how yeah when she was really young she even there was a part of her that wanted to use her power and that part of her lives on through her sister or like through the iconography of her sister yeah yeah you know like i'm not saying she was like wanted to kill or deep down she's a evil per i'm not like a baby snake thing let's like in that moment you were enraged enough that you directed this energy you didn't understand at them rather than it just happening in explicably. Yeah, yeah, and I like acknowledging

that. That's very human to me. Even if that was only 1% of the moment, that character in her little sister represents the 1% of her that was just angry even if it was 99%. Yeah, I love that moment. Very strong stuff. Again, great use of Schwarzenegger coming back. I thought that was so clever.

They've brought him back like three different episodes and they have all felt natural. Yeah, he's like an actual character. Golden boy. Patrick Schroenegger. When did he come back before? Oh, yeah, and another flashback. Yeah, yeah, but all the flashbacks haven't been like just to have them. They've been like... They're just like, we need him on screen.

They're narratively really functional. He's served a greater narrative in the show than I ever would have expected, considering he died in the pilot. Yeah, no, he feels like he's part of the ensemble, even though he is dead. And his presence looms throughout every episode. It's great. Yeah.

The Jordan stuff with the both characters, both actors that play Jordan getting to actually act opposite each other is so fulfilling because it fits narratively, but it also shows how well cast. It also shows like how well Logan is acting as. I don't know the other person's name, but how well London is acting like their male counterpart, but then when you see them on screen together,

like how they've worked on having each other's little ticks and things. But then when they're facing each other, like you were saying like the guilt and anger versus like in that moment, like the duality of their emotion in that section was genius. Represented their physicality of when they switch in and out. So it kind of makes me want to, it really makes me want to go back, rewatch the episodes and see

the emotional and intentional choices of when it's the male counterpart versus the female counterpart. I don't know that's the correct terminology. I'm dealing with a character who could actually transgender character actually switch in and out. Yeah. All right. The male identifying?

Yeah. Is that the... Male presenting? I don't know. The way to not offend. I'm sorry. So, yeah, but to see that would be really interesting because they were two very different emotions in that moment. Right, right, right. I thought that was fascinating because like you said everyone got their character work but theirs was the visual

representation of what everyone was actually feeling which is the dichotomy of the emotion they were going through i'm surprised it wasn't rushed this episode i know like this normally it's a short episode yeah this was the shortest i think runtime but the most stuff and it was really thick and i think it's because you're just diving straight on into something where you're not relying you're dealing with a lot of things that are going really in your face about it yeah while simultaneously having just enough exposition to deal with it, that you have to face it so head on as an audience member with the characters that you surprisingly don't feel like

they're rushing through arcs. Yeah, that's fair, yeah. It manages to be thoughtful without losing momentum and without losing tension. Because, like, at one point, I was afraid, actually, that we weren't, I think it was with Jordan. They have the start the conversation in the office about, like, you know, the whole complicity of them,

you know, backing up brink and why. And then, you know, that conversation continues sort into the next scene and then transitions into the next character and uh and i don't know i just i thought that was like kind of graceful within this and it's an episode where i didn't really notice the time and then you can like i thought just to add to that like the the jordan's talk is also great because so much of what this show deals with is cycles of pain and cycles of i don't know power dynamics and oppression and stuff like that but also how people can be complicit and lie to themselves about why they do that stuff and also you know the idea that you might know somebody who is you know not

who they seem to be and they're good to you and they're you know a positive presence in your life but meanwhile they're hurting other people that's like such a close to home discussion that so many things have bungled that I thought this handled really nicely within that one character like look where we are we're a TA we could have actually like helped some people not be I mean you know there's a greater system at play we probably would have gotten taken down in the process but we could have done the right thing in the face of this instead of accepting all those lies of oh he's like a father to me oh he's this he's that and yeah it's like in an episode like this i'm surprised that they it's to the writing and the directing and everyone's credit that it feels as graceful as it does because that felt like a really thoughtful and a great example of one of these things that's in the style of such popular media that's often trying to like throw you out a woke idea or something like that but that's like a woke idea or something like that but that's like a like a super thoughtful moment within something that's still moving, still sci-fi, and it's still all the other things that you

want. I agree, and to add to that, I think not only does it do all of those things, but the speed is able to accomplish so much because each of their sections not only builds on the last one, but they share so much trauma that, like, say, Jordan's, like, guilt about the TA thing mirrors the guilt

that Marie feels mirrors the guilt so they can jump into the next scene and ride the emotional wave of whatever that emotion is. You're falling out of one person suddenly spike, and guilt, going to the other person's guilt. So it doesn't need two scenes. It needs one and a half into the next person's half and the next person's half. So the pacing gets to be genius because we've all lived for five episodes, going to this sixth,

building to this climax of you have to actually address this thing that happened to you. And then we know the seven eighths of the setup. Then this one we get like all of that in rapid fire through the emotional connection, which is genius. What is the, okay, what's the dean's name? What's the Dean Brown's name? Shetty and Brink. Shetty is the Dean and Brink is the. What I think this show has really laced throughout this whole season in particular so well is the focus on the parents and how the parents have been pretty abusive and they accepted a deal that would monetize and take advantage of their kids and yet they would also judge and condemn them for not going down certain paths they want like the parents are terrible like are awful sure I mean I feel like I'm blaking on maybe a good one good parent for what I

But for the most part, they're all awful. Or dead. And then what they've done with Shetty and Brink is they have made them both the surrogate father and mother. I totally agree. When you mentioned Prince Brown's like paternal presence, I think John said it's one point. I'm like, oh, wow, that's a really good way to make it like, hey, you need me. You haven't had me. Exactly.

They totally, they like prey on children who it's like, it's such a weird cycle of what Vaught does. Yeah. They persuade these parents, take advantage of the parents, and then they make sure the parents are like terrible fucking people. And then they step in and become the parents to the kids. You know how good this episode was? We haven't mentioned the best cameo. I've seen it in a long time.

I know, yeah. It was about my mind. I was just about to think because all this stuff you're saying, I'm like, all right. And then the first type of the episode does all the stuff with VOT but personifies it in the most ridiculous, like who rock character and allows him to be in an 11, allows him to say all the stuff that clearly Jensen Ackles has been dying to say for years. Like the joy in that performance,

but it personifies what Vought has been doing not only as the, you know, boyfriend, the guy I'm dating in Canada element, but also what that represents in this show and what soups represent in this world. It was cool that he got to play the image of Soldier Boy. Yeah. And not, because we know what Soldier Boys really like.

Right. He got to play like the caricature of... Yeah. But he saw the beard and everything. Oh, it's so good, but like red-blooded, but red-white blue-blooded. Yeah, yeah, that was really fun. I fart spangles. Like, it was just so many great.

I want to re-watch just that scene to experience the dialogue again in real-time because it was masterfully delivered and ridiculous. That was so fun. It seemed like they let them riff. Oh, that definitely was like. The kind of cutting that was happening. It works great because it's like it could be an improv bit, but because of the kind of jarring cutting.

Oh, for the episode itself. It works with the weird types of where your mind moves at a rapid pace. I want the seven-minute cut of just Jen Snackles going to town because I guarantee it's out. There's got to be, like, I hope. You know, they always do the episode, like, on a day. And then four days later, Amazon's like, okay, let's get the other half of the people that didn't watch. And then they just release that. Please, Amazon, release the Jensen Ackles cut.

Yeah, yeah. Man, there's a lot of happening here because that was. Oh, no, no, I was going to say that was terrific. But also, Emma and Sam, like, that whole subplied them together was, like, the sweetest counterpart. I thought that was a really nicely placed counterpoint because that could have happened a lot of places. Yeah, the timing was great. But, yeah, it's like you have a crazy mental intimacy happening. on the one hand as we get to our character.

It's like, this is the character climax's episode before we take it to the streets. So like... Which is weird, because it's usually the penultimate. Yeah, it's usually episode seven, and this was six. Yeah. But the climax had to come early because it's its first time. Sure, sure.

And I thought they made that really sweet whilst also incorporating still, you know, the, like you have that dread of like, is this going to become like a bad trip? And it does become a sort of hallucination, but it doesn't become a bad trip. And it does kind of read, yeah, like this 80s kind of awkward. but super is sweet and endearing kind of moment.

Yeah, I like that it didn't ruin the moment, but it definitely made you, like, worried for her. It built tension and it gave it stakes, but, like, the skexy sex didn't become, like, a negative thing for him too long. Yeah, and it's the kind of thing that in this universe is usually so lurid and so kind of used for shock and humor

that it was nice to see a moment like that treated with tenderness and actual, yeah, just kind of, like, character intimacy. It felt real. It did. Very, very much so. Yeah, that was great. That was beautiful.

I think it might be my favorite episode. This is 1,000% my favorite episode. By, like, there's not even a competition. Oh, episode 1 was just so unique in that. It balanced so many talent. But I think this one wins it. This is just, it accomplished so much in like 30-something minutes. But I got to say, man, Andre seems like an awful person.

He's the only one. He's actually the only one. What was his art exactly? He does not seem humbled by this situation. The second. After he gets caught, the second ever he gets caught, he's like, way to not be accountable. And I was like, you're boning dudes, girl.

Yeah. The second scene. And I liked his plea to her to wake up, and I liked his admission of love. But yeah, of all the characters that had such kind of touching journeys and very clear-line journeys. Well, what I like about him is he seems like he, he's the one who propels him to want to do heroic acts.

Like what I still believed, even though he was criticizing, Jordan in that moment I did believe him when he said I would have done something and I know and I feel like he would have done something and it's a different kind of thing it's a different kind of thing it's a completely different thing and I still think that even though I still feel like he would have tried to like do the right thing in terms of oh this really cruel things happening to Luke right yeah yeah to look real cool cruel thing is happening and Luke he would have tried to do something like as we've seen in prior episodes he will still try to do the heroic path and uh yeah I think a plan at the consequence other actions later. There's still seems to be like there's, yeah, there's just lack of something that we've been talking about is like there's this lack of guilt. Well, there's like accountability.

Everyone else has some accountability for their actions. Every single other character, like good, bad, everything in the middle, human has an accountability and he's just like, you're all fucking up. Like, why? I'm like, dude, you're, you're sleeping with her. But when you, he was alive, you continue to sleep with her. And it's just justified because you love her. Well, and it's also, I think.

I think it makes sense as to why it happens this way, but I think it is maybe the one episode, our aspect of the episode that gets garbled by the fact that that becomes a sort of action moment because he flames out and, you know, it becomes about, you know, not being obliterate. In fact, does that one guy die for real? Yeah. So, yeah, like that guy got smoked, got splattered. So, yeah, it's like instead of having him and Luke have like a scene type resolution, you know.

That was a representation of it. kind of stone skip away from that, I feel like. Yeah, I think we need, I still feel like there needs to be something more developed in that arena. And then now they're controlling, they have a way to control the soups. Yep, they've got a weapon. Hell yeah. Impox, it's coming. It's got to affect Boy season four.

Oh, they can't not. Unless they just burn this all down. Yeah. Or something. No, I feel like it didn't get out. It's a new stakes element, especially with Homelander being as powerful he is and the way episode, season three ended. I mean, because if from the trajectory of Homelander, who has been playing so much by his own rules, like a big part of how VOT has been able to control soups has been them wanting to be liked to put it in the most simplest terms.

You know, especially Homelander on the most like amplified level of really caring what people think about him. And he just wants to be loved. And now he's been doing that by just doing his own thing. He even kills, he even kills someone. In the middle broad daylight on camera. And everyone's like, woo, home later. Just some random guy in a crowd. But he wants to be admired.

And like, once he realizes that's admiration, it's like, well, that's what I've been wanting to do. And then you got these millennials. Yeah. All those Gen Z kids get powers. Yeah, Gen Z who wants to do their own thing. You want to come up and be a real hero, not a selfish one? And now they need to, they need to find a way to control. the thing they created.

Right. And this would be it. And if they have a weapon that could literally murder them. Yeah, that changes the stakes for the rest of the universe. It's crazy. And I wonder if our boys like...

Get involved. Or would want to... Right. Oh, he definitely would. Oh, yeah. But he's also got compound V in his veins now, and so does Jack. Or so does Huey.

So we don't know who's representing Marie, though. Still. Yeah. And I can't put a theory on it. It's her sister. Yeah, there's no... I imagine.

I imagine it's a boy's cameo, but I can't think of any boy that would be like a benefactor for anyone. Everyone's too selfish in the boys. Like, the seven are all like. I feel like there's got a starlight because she thinks that she can like help from inside. I don't know. Like it's such a stretch. Yeah. It's Starlight.

How crazy would be if it mayve. Isn't she dead? Mave's not dead. Wait, Mave's dead? Was Mave dead? Did they fake her death or she actually dead? Oh, I got rid of watch it. because I was I was going to say that

and I had the thought of like wait a minute though did she die or did she or was it a kind of thing where they teased it but then she gets away also I've got a medium issue where I'm like am I remembering reading or watching yeah yeah I feel like you'd be laced

throughout the season if she was dead maybe I'm thinking of print print media Crimson Countess definitely died she did but whatever she handied her last homelander wouldn't do it no no I mean A-Train wouldn't really have a good

reason to do it. Who plays Jim Beaver? What was his character? He's like a politician. I don't know why he would do it. Yeah. Would uh... It'll be Jared Paddleykewarm? Would Carl Ebbis?

Would he like want a soup in the inside? Mother's milk is her uncle. What uh... What happened with John Carlin? Doesn't trust him. Her name is M's too. She's an M. Holy shit though. She is an M. She's Marie Morrow.

Oh, Mother's milk. They could be like distantly related. and what's his real name? I don't remember but that's really funny name like Calvin or something but if she wears any sort of hip-hop t-shirt at one point

we'll know the related because of all of his great Wu-Tang and like what happened with John Carlo again he had the he was in power and then Homelander took over we should rewatch season three

something to do with Head Exploding Girl didn't he like mentor her or something yeah trained her and then she betrayed him she and she and Homelander were like both Yeah, he like was using her Yeah

You know the chat right now Like he has a message board It's like it's obviously this I'm like what was it But if he's out of VOT Maybe he's a benefit You got money Would he would I mean

Would he be trying to like mentor I mean like I'm not sure what again I think it's like an inside job situation I don't think it's mentoring I think it's like someone wants someone In the 7 that's under their thumb I think someone I feel like

Wouldn't wouldn't What was John Carlos character's name again? Edgar Yeah, would he, maybe he would try to use her to go back in? Maybe, but that's why I was thinking like, Because I'm trying to think not just character, but also motivation. Sure. Well, and what would it be about her in particular?

What, what is it about her power? That moment. She could take out Homelander probably. Yeah, I mean, she's got power. Well, especially if she can like percolate his blood and stuff like that. Yeah, that's fair. That is like, it is a uniquely, we see it used to make like blades and things a lot, but I feel like they've made a really cool point over the season.

continuing that she can do, yeah, these other things internally. Also, they should make carnage like that. It's so cool and gross. Yeah. But, you know, yeah, she can heal, but she can also, like, rend you from the inside out. So, I mean, yeah, she would be a pretty powerful seven. Yeah, I think Butcher is a possibility just because the leverage within the seven. I think that Stanley, Edgar is a great idea.

I mean, it feels like a bigger deal. So, wait, is that Butchers, is Butcher literally going to show up in episode eight, like, hey, I need more people on my team. And, like, you know, I thought you had potential. She's on the seven. and then he's like, how do you think you got here? Like, because I think she fully becomes a member of the seven. And then your boy, Jack Quaid, seems to hang out with these guys. That's true.

Uh-oh. Is he coming? Is he going to be Nick Fury? But Huey's got no money. Hewys got a lot of money and he's like, I'm going to help you out of God you. Hughie's out there selling Compound V on the streets. Every time they say God, you too. It's so good.

It's such a great duchy name for people that are trying to go. A hilarious duch name. All right, guys. Well, it's a good one. It was a good one. That was a great episode. It was my favorite one so far. easily so good the show's exceptional thank god for that uh soldier boy cameo this one might get views

Ooh, he's, uh, he, he, he makes inappropriate comments to people online. Inappropriate comments to people online. Uh, and. But overall, a nice guy. Yeah. All right. Make sure to create the trap. Let's do this.

Let's see how creative you can be. Let's see if they can write the next saw installment. Let's do this. Saw X.I. Saw Levin. All right. Take it away. john interior dimly lit room night paul pandemic jones and by uh bryon perry find themselves in a dimly lit

grim room their eyes adjust to the darkness as they both realize they are chained to opposite walls a large electrical panel with tangled wires between them above the panel a monitor flickers on revealing the eerie puppet face of jigsaw hello paul and brian let's play a game paul your online persona has consumed you, making you miss out on the genuine experiences of life. And Brian, despite your service, you've made choices that conflict with your role as a

protector of society. To escape this room, you must literally reconnect with each other. The screen shows a demonstration. There are ten wires, five from Paul's side and five from Brian's. They must match the

right wire to each side to form five correct pairs. A wrong Sends an electrical shock. It's like this video game. This is so light. Paul, your thefts from the real world, represented by the fruits of your labor, will guide Brian.

And Brian, your knowledge of true crime will help Paul. But hurry, you have five minutes before the room becomes your final resting place. The screen goes dark. All right, I'll be Brian. All right. Trying to maintain some composure.

All right, pandemic. Let's put aside our differences and work together. I faced tougher situations in many years. All right, old timer. I must be all... Oh, wow, let's do it again. All right, Ben.

I don't know how old people sound. I don't... All right, pandemic. Let's put our differences in we work together. I face tougher situations in my years. All right, old timer. I might be all about the digital world, but right now we're very much in the real one. Let's do this.

I used to see symbols in my end. A melon, an apple, a banana, reminds me a Mel Gibson movie when you was a thief. Well, I can't recall the name of that movie, but I think it happened once. This is the real trap is to figure out what that movie is. Those are the fruits I stole. Match the melon with the green wire on your side. What symbols do you have? A bloody cop badge, a wedding ring, a Medicare card, a cue symbol,

in an online comment section. Okay, connect the badge with the blue wire. We've got this. Minutes feel like ours as they continue connecting wires, getting minor shocks along the way, but ultimately finding the right connections. You know, for someone who says to the online stuff, you're not half bad in person.

And for a cop with such a twisted past, you're not the worst partner in a tight spot. With the final wire connected, the chain's release, freeing them. We did it, kid. We sure did, old man. That's it. That's all you could create. He's escaped the deadly trap nails.

They learned the value of genuine connection. What a great setup. You totally can't do everything about Paul. I know. You didn't include Dullon. I'm going to criticize you now. We need notes. We need notes.

Rewrites. Yeah. Oh, my God. You didn't include. Jack about Paul's background that we gave you. It was so light.

It was so light. Apologies to the oversight. All right. We're going to redo this. All right. We got the trap. Oh, this is going to get a past secrets. Oh, no.

There's a whole different trap. Oh, my God. It's totally redoing the scene. Oh, it's redoing everything. Paul, pandemic Jones and Brian Perry trapped in a room bound by chains. between them are a series of weights and pulleys attached to Paul's side as a heavy weight marked

virtual world on Bryant's side there's an even heavier weight labeled past secrets above them a tape recorder dangles Paul manages to nudge it and it begins to play I mean you want Jigsaw? Yeah sure Paul

I should I say pandemic is Jigsaw here Simpson you've been lost in the virtual world so consumed by your digital life, that reality alludes you. Brian,

your past is heavy with secrets, weighing you down and preventing you from moving forward. Today, you must face those burdens together. To escape Paul, you must physically lift your weight, symbolizing your online obsessions.

Brian, to help him, reveal the secret of every milestone Paul achieves, making your weight lighter and easier to lift. If neither of you is honest or committed. Neither of you gets out. Remember, sometimes the heaviest burdens we carry

are the ones we hide. The tape clicks off. That's good. All right, there's like two lines of dialogue. Yes. What the hell they do. Okay, struggling to lift the way. I guess I'm Paul now. Okay, all a minute. These glutes, not all natural.

I got implants, but I tell everyone I got there from squats. Confession time. Okay. wife number two it wasn't a mysterious disappearance she left me for a Mel Gibson impersonator

they continue in this vein each revelation lightning the weights bit by bit I might want to cause a pandemic online and I'm terrified of real life confrontations and I've never actually confronted my feelings for well real people

I've scanned Medicare not because I needed the money but because I felt invisible in my old age. I just wanted to feel seen. Fane, finally, finally, after much effort in the revelation, the chance release. You know, for an old cop, you've got quite the story. And you kid, might want to spend a bit more time in the real world. It's not all that bad.

This was a better version, ChatGPT. I like the Chad GPT came up with traps at least. That's true. jigsaw-esque traps, all right? In like 10 seconds, it's not too bad. That's your shout out, guys. We tried. We did it.
