More on them in just a bit.
Yeah.
Thank you, guys.
Let's watch Harry Potter and the Death of Allows, Part 2.
Ladies and gentlemen, we watch Harry Potter 7, Deathly Allos, Part 2.
That's a very misleading cover of the dragon.
makes it look like they're going to ride the dragon in a battle
they ride him for a few minutes
and then they jump off
it looks like
oh they're going to have the castle burning in the background
oh damn like the dragon did that
yeah the dragon's a part of the action
you're right that's a miss you guys I don't know if you guys know what we're talking
it's a mislead it's a mislead for sure so we just watched
Harry Potter in the Deathly Hollows part two
and hallows.
And thank you, Prepper, for editing out these highlights.
You guys have killed it in the department of editing now in these highlights.
And Eric, Nerd Chronic, on the re-editing, punching it up, making us look good.
Appreciate you.
Appreciate you guys big time.
Tara, what did you think?
Hmm.
I loved it.
From beginning to end, the pacing, I mean, we got into it.
like almost immediately.
We wrote a dragon in like the first five minutes, it feels like.
But I also, I really liked that Snape.
Like, wow.
There was always a little thing about him.
Like, why was he always around in the hallway, like with Harry?
And he always had this like attitude that he was always like,
in the back
obviously we see that he's looking out for him
but like what an act
and like at the end
the fact that he names his kid
like Severus you know
like all of that
I just wow
that has like a lot of
a lot of heart in it
and the fact that when I initially saw
the fawn or the elk
or the whatever
the animal that came to Harry
across the lake like three movies
ago, I thought that it was his dad, like his parents. And then we find out it's Snape all along who was
in love with his mom and him and Snape and his mom have the same animal. Like, I love how in this
part two, it like all, there's so many things that it just all comes together. And it's a really
beautiful story. And I think at the end, when they're like, he's like, will you be with me? And
they're like always because that that is that is what it is to that you lose people and you don't
really i mean like they're always there you just i thought it was just really sweet how they
reminded him that we're always here and the picture of the all three of them there at nine
and three quarters at the end was just like yep yep here we are there
old with kids now and like i'm glad to see that obviously hogwards isn't burnt to the ground
because there's kids still going to it um that it's like you know that it's recovered it took
some time i'm sure but it's just nice to see them all there together 20 years later
i think the the irony that they all have kids at the same time is amazing yeah
they all were like wow we really survived like we all almost died and then they probably get together
and they're let's wait until our mid 30s yeah they're all gonna have kids and all gonna be the
exact same age totally i agree no i mean it's it's what happens in real life with people too
that's what i'm saying you would you would time it up with your best friends if you could because
then you guys can all relate about like this kid's being a doucheerama tell me about yours yeah
man that was a
kind of a cold experience for a lot of it till like the last 20 minutes yeah it was dark yeah it was
very bleak because the last one I think is more atmospherically dark and I think this one like plot
wise was insanely dark it's strange because of how how big this one is this is the first one where
they actually go into battle sequences and I even love the handling of that because
It feels as if it's going to be going down a traditional path of,
okay, here's where we get our big action finale and we're going to get a bunch of people doing, you know, questionable spells.
That we don't know what they're doing most of the time.
Right.
Do it stuff.
Like spell magic happening.
Cool.
Let it happen.
And it's rarely like the actual central focus.
It's mainly something that's going on while the main direct missions at hand with the horror cruxes are still continuing through.
because both one and two are pretty much like the
the mission to stop the
to eliminate the horrockses that's what one and two
consist of primarily and even in the midst of the battle
it's still about finding the horror cruxes
and I appreciate that they don't deviate
from their main plot at hand and turn into some generic epic finale
that I thought we'd be getting I really thought that's maybe
what's going to be is some gigantic finale of people doing this
the whole time and then sparks happening
and then people dying.
So what they provided us instead was I feel like something that was a little bit more rich
and with payoffs throughout like the snake payoff.
I feel like they alluded to that, that he had feelings for her.
Did they?
I don't, you know, I'm not going to be the one to remember.
There was the part about the bullying.
And then he said you have your mother's eyes.
It was like, oh, you must have really loved her.
Yeah.
I mean, he said that.
When he said that, that was, yeah.
Otherwise, why else would you say something like that?
Why would he remember that it was so intense, you know, like you have her eyes?
That's a very intimate thing.
Yeah, yeah, which makes sense more of the resentment that he would feel towards James.
And I like how they actually did go back through all the older movies and reveal that it was part of the plan the entire time.
Which is interesting to me because I would mean author J.K. Rowling must have known that from the get-go.
Yeah.
Because she, like one, two, and three were out when this series became really popular.
And then there was four, five, they were following much of up, much later.
And I think like when the movies were getting made, only one through four, the books were out already.
Oh.
So there were still the other ones that hadn't been out.
Okay.
And to me, it's one of those fun facts of, oh, was this something that was always there in her mind when it came to crafting the narrative here?
because from all accounts it looks like it was the case the entire time and yeah i think the
ability to have you pull back that entire layer from the character that seemed villainous and antagonistic
and dark from the get-go and then to be perhaps one of the ultimate villains in the very end of it all
to become the headmaster the one who killed dumbledore but there were clues that were pretty
evident in the last one too that he didn't want drako to kill him and he wanted it to be staying but
anyway the i i do like the peel back of that of how committed they were to it and even the clues they
left about him they weren't super obvious if anything you were kind of back and forth on where his
allegiance really lied yeah and i think that's a the ability to commit like that and not overly
telegraph and still have the plot twist to the point where we were like damn that is it was there
the one about the patroness and the the deer was the wow was my boring part about the past to be
like holy shit and not think that would be snake yeah powerful stuff I agree and then the delivery
of Voldemort like Voldemort is usually just teased little bits little scenes here little
scenes there and you get so much Voldemort here yeah ray finds you can see why it's hailed as
iconic beyond the appearance and there's so much buildup to this character and to finally get him
in the epic finale he gives some great scene work here I love he's he's a phenomenal actor
I love when he's relishing in the in this final speech when he thinks he's won all yeah it's so good
I also just really like that, you know, from the top, when we, when Snape is like, come forward if you know where Harry is, and then Harry steps out and then all of his friends, all of the rest of everyone there basically steps out with him. And then Maggie Smith is the one to like, right? And they like defeat him in that moment to where he like, I just really like that because it's, it's, it's,
Harry in this movie in the very beginning is almost, it's like it's stepping into his role of what we always thought he would be of someone he has to take him down.
He has to take Voldemort down.
But now he has like the backing of everyone there.
And it felt like even though in the midst of such darkness that Harry would have that they would have his back, even though it's wildly dangerous.
Yeah.
so dangerous
and I found that
really moving
I really I really like that
that they continually did it as well
I like what they did with Draco
because they were alluding again
that he didn't that conflict
and then to tie it's put it in together
with Snape too where you do wonder
where Snape's allegiance lies
and with Draco again another character
who you believe is going to amount of like he
really starts off as potter's main antagonist
Yeah. And outside of Voldemort, like the bully at school. Yeah. And to put him in this
position where even his kids, Harry's kids get to go to school with Draco's kids now. Right.
It was, it was, I thought it was delivered in a way that actually felt satisfactory and even
for Harry to see the good in him still to see that Draco is actually not a bad person. He's
being misled and manipulated. It speaks to Harry's leadership strength.
I think this movie shows his leadership strengths a lot.
And a lot of this is him, the journey of Harry is him having to deal with the identity, right?
Of being the boy who lived, having to deal with that, being thrust it into this other world is Mr. Famous.
And a lot of pressure.
A lot of pressure.
It comes with a lot of package, a lot of baggage, a lot of judgment.
And this is him stepping into the ultimate rule.
of responsibility. This is him stepping into the role of even the great sacrifice. He literally
sacrifices himself. Yeah. And I love that reveal coming around. I totally forgot what the hell
you were talking about, honestly, when you said that. That was insane that I said that and then
it came right up. Yeah, the opening close. I'm like, what are you talking to? Y'all think I make a lot of
dumb guesses and that one. Yeah. I didn't know what you were talking about. And then you went
they opened i was like oh shit the resurrection stones and i had no clue when you said what is she
talking to yeah that was that was that was really cool and they give you good payoffs like he gets
to have the reunion with with dumbledore um in purgatory or where that is the train station
to heaven yeah he gets to have that and harmony and ron get together they have the kids the kiss
also the kids was such a payoff and it was right after they killed a horrocks together yeah and like oh my god
that was good yes this is the this is the one that it is definitely a movie that is divided into two
parts and it's a really long film yeah it's like a five near a near five hour movie totally because
i don't feel i feel like this really works best when you do watch part one
relatively close to part two yeah i couldn't imagine how long they had to wait right to get
oh yeah what was the real was it was it a year six months a year yeah i mean hmm right yeah you'd
have to wait some time but i i do really think this is a five hour film because the first half
part one is so character driven it is so character it is just harry ron and herminey prime
merrily dealing with life on the run trying to figure this shit out and figure out their
friendships and the yeah the ups and downs in that too yeah i really love that part one a lot i love
part two as well i think as an isolation experience i would give the edge of my personal
sensibilities to part one i cannot imagine that is the popular opinion i would personally
gravitate towards part one for all that effect and but part two is pretty amazing part two that's
not to diminish part two and i think you really need part one for obviously it's part two so you need
part one but with the journey they give us it does i like how they did commit to they kept
the darkness going i really thought this would be a two towers meets return of the like i really thought
yeah you did think that yeah and then part two would be would be an uplifting yeah
yeah that's why he said i was excited because you said that i was like he's probably right but
no this this stayed relatively
insanely bleak until the last like 15 minutes of this movie where even then they didn't just go
into ura moment it still stayed dark even after harry showed he was still alive and you did start
to get a bit of that hope and triumph and you get this
These payoffs are like Neville Longbottom, the dweeb, being able to, you know, use the sword and be a badass in that moment.
You know, I think they give you some really cool payoffs here with some great tie-arounds to what they've done before.
To even go back to Green Gods after going there in the very first movie.
And I think part one was doing some of that book-ending chapter stuff as well.
And yeah, the flashbacks and all were all spectacular.
stuff this is a little more straightforward surprisingly right yeah yeah except for you know
the twist and turns with snape of like wow you know that that's like i was just in shock and like
oh that just like hit hit my heart because he had to live with that right for a very long time
but the payoff that they give him is like harry names his son after him yeah and like
When we talk about full circle, you know, his kids worried about being in Slytherin, so was Harry.
It's like, it's such a bookend because Harry did not want to be in Slytherin either, right?
He was so happy when he got Gryffindor, but his talk of like I, the two best people that I have known, like, it will be okay.
And also the sorting hat takes, like, what you want into account.
and we remember that took me back to like one where it where they they brought that up I just thought
it was a really good a really nice bookend but as you said yes straightforward it's like from here
we are we're ending Harry is you know he's a part of which I always kind of thought Voldemort
because of his scar and his power right I was like I think I made it get I was like is Voldemort like
his dad like his i i don't i i didn't think that but maybe in the beginning i did because i was like
well why does he have his he has has his power inside of him why is he as strong and now we
finally find out that yeah it's because there's a piece of him inside of there um which i feel
like we felt like for a while i didn't really guess horrocks till 20 minutes before they revealed
I never thought
Horcrocks
I just thought
that's why Harry
is as strong as he is
because he has a piece
of him inside
Oh yeah
I felt
I just kept feeling
like I'm missing
something here
of there has to be
some great tie in here
that there's something
here all along
and I know I have
some people might accuse me
of it
because I
here's the thing
you know
I actually haven't been
as diving into comments
I didn't want spoilers
and I don't want to
convince people of what I remember and what I don't remember because to me it's like life you know
sometimes I'm with family members and they're telling me about something I did 10 years ago or 15
years ago like I have I don't remember like you clearly remember this I have no idea I'm like this sounds
like a brand new thing to me you know something I did I don't know what you're talking about and that's
how I felt with watching these was right I felt like I didn't know so much it was happening here and
part of my brain does start to go but did I guess horror crux because in the back of my mind I knew that
from from like whatever what was it 2011 from 14 years ago um it's a pretty good guess
and i think it's a reasonable good guess watching a lot of movies knowing that oh he has a piece of
him inside there we have to kill that piece well it started the clue started coming together more
whenever he destroyed the horror cruxes and he was in
pain uh harry yeah and then i that's why i started questioning if if harry was a horrocks from the
from the uh from the symbol on his head and to give the symbol an actual physical meaning beyond
just a symbolic one right was uh was a pretty cool maneuver i like though like the flushing out
i love how thought out all that is you mean of of just like the the horrocks is and then him yeah
yeah yeah yeah how it's there the whole time that it's like if you're going to do a complete
of your movie you can't just be something
that you're making up for your final thing. No, it was there from the
beginning. Yeah, it was there from the get-go of Harry Potter's
identity. I think that's really smart. I think is the exact
same with Snape like I was saying from day, from the
first movie you think there's something weird going on. Why is he always
looking around every corner being like, Paula? What are you
doing in this hallway? I'm like, how do you even know? And now we know.
Yeah, no, it's smart. Yeah, to consistently
make it look like he's on the prowl to get him. To get
Harry to catch Harry not but he's really protecting him so smart yeah that is yeah that is pretty
clever damn that is really clever it's awesome I love it like I saw the play in uh in New York which
takes place after this so it's like Harry is an adult and it focuses on their kids okay and
because I didn't remember there's a lot of information that I and and I was also on some oh boy
It's, you know,
New York Gummies.
Okay.
Which made the magic way better.
It's dazzling to the whole, I'll tell you.
Oh, my God.
And I was, I definitely had,
there were times where I couldn't pay attention to two things at once,
meaning I might be looking at magic and like lost.
And then I'd be thinking about what I just saw and not paying attention to what the actors were saying at the time.
And I do that a lot if I do something on my own at home.
It's a lot of rewinding because I know how my brain will get overly fixated on something.
And I'm like, wait, I totally miss this.
I mean, it's like when I read a book, I'm constantly going back like a page or two.
And, and, yeah, I mean, there's like some stuff that I knew Draco would live because
Draco's a character and that.
So I was like, all right, no, Draco's going to live.
Not that his life ever seems like it's on the line.
I knew Harry had to live.
And Ron and Hermione had to live because they're in it.
Yeah.
It didn't tell me, I didn't know, though, how.
they won and that was like such a fun part to unpack here and to still get lost in the
immediate moment of that's how that's how i know the movie so effective because i'm like i know
he's got to live somehow right because i just i saw the play he's got to live somewhere and and
even when he's saying by to the ghosts that you know that that moment with the ghost suddenly gave
the context of the ghost so much more meaning because the ghost abender since the first story yeah and
that really that was the first time it started really affect me emotionally in terms of like
moving me and yeah the like neville's speech and for championing to be on harry's back really
moved me the kids at the end really move me and i think it's really cool like the kids are the
main character or harry's kid is the main character in the play so i'm like yeah i was gonna
have a kid and stuff and then i forgot his name was albus um i think i thought they were seeing
alvis oh alvis those new york gummies yeah and we said albis and we have subtitles so we can read it
yeah i was like whoa that's so powerful yeah right i should i saw this play like four months ago
i should have that one i'm like i should have remembered yeah but it has still hit me pretty hard
and it it shows the effect of how how effective these movies all right i've been told we're in the

Yeah. I agree. I also think like, um,
What a moment it was, very cool effects when everything is on fire and Harry goes back to save Malfoy.
And you're like, what? Okay.
And it was such a cool, cool shot.
He just swoops him up, you know, after all these years of him just being such a doucheerama.
But them setting it up that we see such a turmoil going on.
side of Malfoy that he's just still so unsure and he's dealing with so much peer pressure
that he has to one way or the other. I mean, even at the very end, when his mom is like, come
and he's like, it was kind of slowly goes and then they go off. You can still tell that, you know,
there is, which is why when we see at the end, when we see him there, it's not like, oh man,
there he is, that freaking bully.
It's like, oh, they did a good job of painting it at the end.
As a kid who was struggling through this whole thing,
especially towards the end, very specifically in like getting back Harry Potter
and when killing was in order, he struggled with that, right?
Which is like, eh, it's the same to say and it's good writing that a lot of bullies.
It's just because they have, they got the issues, right?
And they're projecting it onto someone else.
And most of the time, they can grow out of it, right?
We hope.
And that's kind of what we see is that he goes through something.
And I'm glad to see it at the end that he was there old with his kids.
And they're going to Hogwarts as well, which I liked.
Yeah, the broom action too in that.
It was cool to actually get some broom action again.
Some broom action.
To find a way to get the broom action going.
We were waiting for it.
I mean, it's a single, it's a staple of being a witch wizard.
You gotta get the broom stuff.
You gotta get the broom, actually, let us have that.
That was cool.
I agree.
It was cool.
So there are a couple of things, though, that definitely feel trimmed for adaptation purposes.
Yeah.
They mentioned the caros, the brother and sister.
Oh, yeah.
That went out to window.
They were like in the background for a second.
They were dead within 20 seconds.
Yeah.
I'm like, okay, I guess we got some new, new things that you, oh, I guess.
that's not going to be much of anything in this movie characters who die off screen maybe they die off screen in the books i don't know
it's different and who cares if they die off screen in the books it's different in the in the movie medium especially
when you take your opportunities to cut around excuse me take your opportunities to cut around and break
perspective to me i i think if if you don't want to if you're going to cut away from harry's
perspective you're going to go away from other characters perspectives then you could allow us to
scene like that to see when these characters die when they die and then even some after effects of
how these characters are grieving like we lost a weasley and you know you lose a loop in as well it's
like that was the bummer of the mad eye moody moment be of them dying off screen i remember how
convinced i was he wasn't dead yeah yeah so things like that you definitely feel like a little
truncated yeah outside of those things where you go that's weird that's in this movie
movie, but I don't really feel like we had time to live with it. I kind of wish we had more time
with Ginny and Harry's relationship evolving, especially since they end up together. They end up
married. I wish we had a little bit more evolution there. I don't remember which one it was.
It gave us a good amount of Jenny. I think that was part six that gave us a good amount of Harry
and Jenny and that's when Ginny started to step out of her. Out of her shell. Yeah, it was like
really freaking coming on to Harry. Totally. Totally. He's the most famous. She was going after it. I'm
get this guy yeah yeah and yeah so i think i think there's there's definitely it's not flawless
this adaptation but is pretty damn near of flawless like it's pretty it's pretty close like
there's a lot of great things and it's it's pretty cool to watch this franchise evolve i don't know
where we'd rank it what would you rank i mean i'd have to think about that huh i'm pretty sure prisoner
of askeman's still my favorite one of them all yeah that one's a pretty hard one at top yeah that one's
really, really good. I would have to like spend some time. Yeah, me get like a whiteboard.
I think so because like there's just because we get like cards. Especially for me because we've
watched these like back to back. But even if it was only seven weeks ago, like there are going
to be details that all smushed together. And I'm like, I don't know where that was. I really don't.
There's just so much information here. Obviously we didn't read the books or I didn't. You didn't
read the books yeah yeah so um i don't i don't know where this would would sit it's probably
up there but i really do agree with you that i really was loving six but it's really just because
we got to see our three leads that's seven together for that's seven part one oh seven part one
that's what i meant seven part one the last movie because we got to see our three leads be together
and just go through this up and down relationship and like, you know, Ron leaves.
And when he comes back, you know, Hermione's like so angry.
And it's just like we feel all these emotions with them, which was a really great way in part one to lead us here to part two, knowing where they stand now where things are kind of fully out in the open, even though we would have liked to see more with like him and Jenny.
and then obviously Ron and Hermione in the buildup there.
But I thought that part one sets us up with a really good foundation
so that when we get here and we see that it's going to be a lot of Voldemort,
it's okay because we already really spent the time we needed with Hermione, Ron, and Harry.
I like, too, that they let Dumbledore be increasingly flawed, you know.
he's not some perfect
wisdom-filled wizard
that he makes a lot of mistakes that even his family
has stuff against him like to include the family
and again I feel like in the book you probably get
a lot more of that
oh I'm sure to include that in the movie
which I think the casting on whoever played him was great
and leaves an impression
and there's a lot of clues as to what's to come
or what might have happened
but yeah I do I do think
some of that was a little bit glossed over as well
like there's like setups for stuff where you go man it would be cool to explore that but you're not going to have time yeah well just like when snake was the the dark the dark wizard and we didn't get to see him teach a class dark arts dark arts teacher
harry's lightning bolt scar was applied by makeup teams approximately 5800 times by the end of the film franchise he had the scar applied 2,000 times while the rest were applied to stunt doubles and standings wow
Wow.
He reportedly broke 80 wands because he used them as drumsticks.
That's great.
Oh, wow.
Rupert Grint was the only one who never seriously considered leaving the franchise.
Daniel Radcliffe thought about leaving after the third and Emma Watson after the fifth.
What?
Wow.
How would you think that?
Wow.
It's like this is paycheck central.
Who cares?
Interesting.
Suck up the fame everywhere you go.
You don't get a personal life.
you're you're you're sworn by fans and paparazzi for the remainder of your days
uh that's cool okay
uh no no okay uh no that's that's not cool whatever
trying to see try to see the thing
Alan Rickman admitted to feeling awkward during the scene in which Professor Snaven McGonnell
duel, thank God for computer graphics because holding a wand is not throwing the most
threatening thing you can do.
And that's what I mean.
It's like, that's what I thought the world would be with.
I was just like, because we're not saying a bunch of smells most of the time outside of
like the few we hear all the time.
So like I don't know what they're doing.
Right.
Like when, um, when Helena Bonham Carter and Mommy Weasley.
where you go and I'm like I don't know what she's doing but they're doing something they're doing something
not long after Alan Rickman played severus name jaco rally told him some character secrets this is what
I was asking about yeah that would not otherwise be revealed till the la oh he knew okay oh wow wow that's
cool was one of the very few people to know other than rolling so that means like probably
these directors other characters nobody right he had that wow you need to understand i think it does
completely understand and did completely understand where this bitterness towards this boy who's living
proof of lelie's preference for another man a man who had tormented and ridiculed him came from yeah
that's tough man also we it says according to rigman the directors prior to the publication of the last
book were not privy to the information the stape's true character either and he had to ask them
to defer to him on the portrayal of Snape whether or not they understood why that's insane
because you are there as an actor and the directors they are going like well I can we try
this a different way what if you did this and he's going to have to go can't do it and he has to
play it a certain way without letting them know the information that's wild wow before the
final book was published. Daniel asked
J.K. Rowling whether his character Harry
would die at the end after a silence rally gave
him the very cryptic answer. You get
a death scene.
Okay.
All right. There's so many facts
that I'm trying to be selective here.
Oh, fun.
Curtin-Felton, Baltimore. Awkwardly
hugging Draco is not scripted, but an improvisation
by Ray finds.
Oh, my God. His reaction is stopping dead in his tracks, not knowing what to do is
genuine it's so good and so awkward oh man
uh yeah she did have to make out with both them at some point she put no chance it's
not written in my contract what are we looking at uh i don't know i'm just reading random
shit to try to see if there's anything he's just scrolling around i can't even it's making
me dizzy i'm sorry there's so many facts there's like 200
facts here. I know it.
All right.
Here we go. At the train station
with the train of the next generation
of children on board leave Kings Cross Station head
towards Hogwarts at the end of the movie. The song playing
over the scene is the same one
as the last scene in the first Harry Potter
movie where Harry Waves could buy to Haggard.
Oh, I didn't know that. And leaves
on the trade to head home from Hogwarts. The song
is titled Leaving Hogwarts.
Officially ending the franchise besides
Headwig's theme.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
I mean, we got a lot of facts.
Whatever.
We're both a little drain
from the mind right now.
Mm-hmm.
And that was a,
that was like a dementor experience.
Wait a minute.
Maldi Weasley's line,
not my daughter, you bitch is Dame Julie Waters.
Favorite lie throughout her role is Mrs. Weas.
I agree.
That was literally the best.
It reminded me of Alien when
Sigourney Weaver is like,
get away from her.
You, I think she says you, bitch.
Yeah.
Which is so perfect.
So.
good all right yeah well we'll read these on our own time this is
you're scrolling is so fast i don't even know what you're looking at it's so many
every time it's like blown 50 more yeah imdb like we don't got time for this it's insane
all right what are you going to dip all right well fantastic beast takes place like
80 years before the first one focus on a completely different guy a different guy but that
we've seen in Harry or no?
No, no. I mean, eventually.
It's a different character entirely.
Yeah, okay, don't tell me because I don't know.
I know nothing.
It's a buildup to a guy who was mentioned in the last movie.
And it was to the point where when they, I had never heard.
I remember this guy I remember this guy really mentioned when I watch Fantastic Beast.
and then this
guy is
has a little scene
that's like 10 seconds long
and apparently he's like
oh there's a whole thing here
I don't know how to explain
he has a little scene in this
in part one of Deathly
Halas he's got a part one not part two
yeah I don't want to ruin
I'm not going to remember yeah I don't
I honestly don't even really remember what the scene was
I just remember being like
oh he's in this and I
didn't know that so
but apparently is a very important
character oh okay yeah anyway guys where would you rank this one thanks for being on the journey
you want to do a podcast yeah i mean listen y'all can't come at me for not remembering things and
not reading the books i am not in encyclopedia like Andrew Gordon so in a podcast i would love
to do it um i think it would be fun but i also am like they're probably like why
why? Because, I mean, I don't have all the facts, but I think it would be fun.
Well, it would be a Q&A. I'd want to hear.
Oh, Q&A. Would you like to hear my thoughts?
Yeah, I think we would put out of the community post and be like, ask us questions,
and we're only going to answer your guys' questions.
All right. And I would like that. And especially, do I sound like Kaminy?
Like, is it proper? He's over it. He's quite tired. I came in more tired than you.
Listen, just deal with it for a moment.
If it was questions and I got to prepare, that would be excellent.
Prepare.
Prepare, like, look at a question.
