We've got a lot to talk about, and I think it's a good discussion. I mean, of course I would, but I think it's actually good, not just because I like Greg and Coy and I was there too, and you get the point. Anyway, roll the buck. the end of the timeline yeah no more marble canon event it's over that kevin foggy reboots coming sooner than we thought it's great to go to the handheld oh shit god what a shot to end on ended it's darkness the darkness of that oh my god
Starting point is 00:03:16 Aaron and Justin directed that one. Yeah, that's why it felt like the first episode. And they directed the first one, too. That's why it felt perfect, you geniuses. Damn, that was an expertly crafted episode. I'm exhausted. I am so tired. That was ex-perately.
Starting point is 00:03:32 Not only was their mom's spaghetti, my palms are so sweet. That is one of the best episodes of all of MCU television. Period. Heart stop. That stayed taught the whole way. It also fixed my issues with episodes two and some of three. It was so good. it retroactively, like, got me there.
Starting point is 00:03:48 Wow, you have no, like, that was exceptional. But you still have, you still have the ability to go to RejectnationShop. And get yourself some teas to support the chat. Get your own nipple chills. I got nipple chills. I got nipple chills. The Space Babies of the Galaxy. This Loki inspired merch, this other Marvel merch that we got, too.
Starting point is 00:04:15 and then this shirt right here and then that shirt right there and then every single one helps to support the channel in great ways and man there's some sinister credits playing before us right now. This is ominous and new and that monkey was terrifying. Oh yeah monkey shines boy.
Starting point is 00:04:30 Ooh. Oh you get the that Victor timely there at the shot. I'm wondering if there's Easter eggs for future stuff or like references that will catch because now we're back to the beginning of the show because it's an Orboris and the death of Victor I think brings about
Starting point is 00:04:45 another kang oh it must because untethering him from all time I'm curious how that relates but also the idea that he was a good kang and he stayed good and I didn't trust him I love how much of a horror
Starting point is 00:05:01 show this is man like I got spaghettied well and on loki I mean he who remains is obviously dubious but like the kangs we've met directly via loki are like not overtly evil whereas you know quantum mania is pretty clear cut i mean he must have been i don't know if they
Starting point is 00:05:22 mean he was killed then because they were all caught up in that in that final moment so they must have been transferred somewhere there's no way they just killed them but there is that loki who was pruned yeah the one that loki pruned himself right so that loki i think that's how the time messiness happens with him getting yeah because unfortunately there is one trailer shot that I remember that we still haven't yet to see. I think that's what caused Loki to be time displaced.
Starting point is 00:05:53 Yeah. Is him zonking himself. Oh. So we're literally back to now round zero. Boroborous. But time itself imploding. Man, if this leads to an actual
Starting point is 00:06:07 cleansing of canon and timeline for Kang Dynasty and then Marvel can do, I've been saying from the beginning, give Marvel the DeusX Machina to clean up any storylines that didn't work, and this episode could do that. I mean, I don't know if they're going to do that, man.
Starting point is 00:06:21 And then Deadpool just goes out, killing universes that are unwanted, but not on purpose. Deadpool post credits in episode six. I mean, we all thought that the end of Loki season one would lead to a craziness of...
Starting point is 00:06:34 I will stay optimistic until Marvel closes their doors. But in terms of what this episode did alone, like just thinking about what the episode did, this is one like I feel like, I would have to process a little bit just because of how well done it is. Like, they have just brilliant debates all around right from Loki and Sylvie discussion of the power that they hold and what does the TVA ultimately represent. Like, this was a fight for power and choice and what the consequences of that could be despite your intentions.
Starting point is 00:07:09 You know, like that's what was happening with Ravona. That's what was happening with Docs. That's what was happening with Loki and Sylvie. Victor's whole character is about the consequences of actions That's his whole ass character Yeah I loved the it's a big cautionary tale His minutes got murked
Starting point is 00:07:25 Victor got murked Yeah A Loki caused himself to be time distorted And displaced We still have all the ominousness Of when Mobia sees himself on a jet ski I did It just really stands out to me that in episode three
Starting point is 00:07:39 They said in case he died You give this to Victor timely I still feel like we are watching he who remains big plan because the way they frame this show especially when Justin Aaron direct there's constantly this voyeuristic presence as if there's something greater power watching and I'm not saying he who remains is alive
Starting point is 00:07:59 I'm saying I think we are watching something else unfold that was part of he who remains big plan I think we're seeing a Kang watch over I think it was an act of subterfuge of what he was doing when he was saying that oh you i want you loki and sylvie to run the tv a and you guys do whatever you want i don't think that was the reality of the situation why else would he be like if i die give this the war's got to start everything over yeah and i think this is a big part of the clenzing and i definitely think that the shots where they pull back and they show a lens of someone watching something on a tv
Starting point is 00:08:33 someone watching something pull out of another time that's the voyeurism you're describing but i think it's a kang being aware it's not him literally watching tv like the matrix but it's him It's thematically watching over a thing that he is put in place. Yeah, we'll go into the Kang architect room next episode and he'll be like, this is the sixth version of the TVA. I hope we finally meet. If we meet Real Kang next week, I think we meet Real Kang next week. I think we meet a Kang powerful enough to survive ants.
Starting point is 00:09:00 Yeah. And what will he have to say about that? I mean, like I took my name, it wasn't me. God, I hope so. I really thought we were going to watch like something with Victor timely. It is like, like, that I didn't trust him ever. It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:09:13 He's not the major trials. So good. Coming up soon. So we're going to have to ignore that for right now. But it is crazy how he's managed to play three distinct different kings. And if you count quantum mania, like, 46. Oh, yeah. Which I totally do.
Starting point is 00:09:30 The last is quantum. Definitely felt unique and not like a bunch of people watching football game. I'm like an S&L. Those guys were totally. The counselor king scene suddenly becomes a little bit more questionable to me now that when I factor in what they're doing here. I'm like, they're up to something entirely different than what's happening here. I feel like Loki is much like Wanda Vision where it's like someone watched half of something they needed to. Like, this feels like the follow up to Loki, but does not feel like it acknowledges Quantum Mania at all.
Starting point is 00:09:55 And like Quantummania feels like it didn't acknowledge Loki at all. Yes. Which could exist with multiple timelines. And if you destroy a bunch of them in this episode, quantum mania. Yeah, I like ants. And I look at the end of Paul Rudd going like, did that really happen? Maybe not, bro. Carry on to the next Avengers.
Starting point is 00:10:11 don't acknowledge that movie um clenced back to the yep the the the the whole thing with rvona rentslayer i i feel like rising um up in like realizing what she really was before it is cool to see i want i want to see more of that side of her because rvona and depending on what like the only thing i really read was the one thing you recommended that that brilliant game comic yeah where where nathaniel richards does learn about himself his meet about is greeted by a King. It's written by Jackson. And he's like,
Starting point is 00:10:43 I gotta stop myself from becoming this that he ends up just becoming it. He becomes a time machine. The act of trying to stop it is what causes it.
Starting point is 00:10:52 It is an or a boris. And I thought that like maybe that's what was happening with Victor Timely. Same. Oh, is he accidentally going to become himself
Starting point is 00:10:59 but like trying to prevent himself from becoming. Especially that Miss Minutes line. When Miss Minutes is like it's what you want or like you won't get it. Yeah. It's never be him.
Starting point is 00:11:07 There it is. Yeah. Yeah. And then but Ravona is very much featured in that and they do hint at that with he who remains like he did have this sorrowful regret when he says I'm sorry when he's by himself
Starting point is 00:11:19 after you know giving the order to wipe everyone's memory he says I'm sorry in a way that does seem like sorrowful about it like he had to make a hard choice there and I don't know if they're implying that they're lovers you know because like traditionally
Starting point is 00:11:34 there's a romance there's a love but maybe not that king because he who remains was definitely more of an isolated character than a lot of And then there's, like, other Ravonis throughout time that it can be very much, like, fierce warriors. And we're going to meet one because she just got proved. And I want to see that version. I mean, but if you've been proved, you're putting it to the void. And if you're putting it to the void, right, that's what happens.
Starting point is 00:11:54 You're putting it where. At the void at the end of time. Yeah. But I don't think she, oh, she did come back from that once just now. So I guess it's possible. Yeah, she got back because of Miss Minutes. Right. But Miss Minutes when she reboots, might be able to bring it back again.
Starting point is 00:12:06 Perhaps. So, yeah, I mean, I feel like she'd be going to the end of time. And that's probably where that Loki is. Right. And they would, and maybe, I mean, my theory is that our, that Loki who got pruned might be able to, because in that last, up, in last season, they had to enchant Eliath to distract, right? Right. Right. That's what they did. Which one's Eliath?
Starting point is 00:12:29 The big smoke mom. Thank you. Yeah. They had to enchant Eliath. And I think, but he had to team up with Sylvie to do that. Yes. And so maybe, but that was all wasn't strong enough. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:12:41 They did do it because then they had Richard E. Grant distracting with creating the ASGAR. Yeah. So anyway, I don't know what they're going to do. But that Loki still has to exist. Right. Because there is one trailer shot that everyone was screenshoting. I don't want to remind you. Remember enjoying things for the internet?
Starting point is 00:13:03 But that's the only other shot I can think of. That we haven't seen too far. Yeah, that's the only other shot I can think of. There's nothing else that comes to mind. like we haven't seen this we haven't seen this that was the only shot i'm like oh yeah there is one specific shot we haven't seen yet um and it's like there's no way they would kill all these people off so that's why i'm thinking maybe they weren't killed yeah that they were actually displaced somewhere else i wonder what the rules are of the little jailbox thing in that regard
Starting point is 00:13:30 then yeah i think they're smushed i mean it seemed like there was residue there seems like well i think jail box people are dead yeah i'm saying i'm saying at the very end here like what would happen with all them. Yeah. Oh, oh, got you. I think Sylvie.
Starting point is 00:13:42 With the loom burst open. I mean, it's a very, like this is maybe the biggest cliffhanger episode in Marvel TV, right?
Starting point is 00:13:50 Because like that, that could literally go anywhere. Well, not for a finale episode, like for episode four and five. Like, for a singular
Starting point is 00:13:58 episode. Like this feels like a huge gap in anything to come back in episode five. I don't know. Let's not forget before he was Ralph Bona
Starting point is 00:14:06 he was quick. Oh, too shay. For those beautiful 10 seconds. That's fair. That might be the biggest cliffhanger between episodes and that are not a finale. That was bananas. All right. In recent memory, this is quite
Starting point is 00:14:17 the like... Only second to Ralph Bowen. Right right after Boner entrance. I loved how they manipulated our expectations throughout that episode. I really love that I didn't trust Victor and I should have. This is really well crafted though. I think from a directing standpoint, a cinematography standpoint,
Starting point is 00:14:34 the way they clue us in through what these characters are experiencing through their emotionality via lighting choices, when to go handheld, how to make objects and items like feel larger than life and have this sense of wonder and fate, yet with this tinge of like Darren Aronoski fantasy sci-fi qualities to it where it does feel dark and wondrous, but also kind of menacing underneath and unsettling. There's a lot of whatchowski and agree with like the mirrors and the camera tilts and poles. There's also a really interesting element of like the philosophy of like what extends beyond the trolley problem.
Starting point is 00:15:09 like what's the trolley problem for gods and you've got gods discussing the elements of the trolley problem but what's the scope of like mortals to immortals you know what's a king to a god I feel like nicely doing
Starting point is 00:15:25 I feel like Mobius I feel like everyone probably got back I feel like a big reset happened for everyone at the TVA and a lot and whoever was still alive and I think Mobius has probably planted back to who he was. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:15:42 That's what I think happened. Okay. I think we're going to see some really fun, because they keep talking about that. Yeah, no, but I think next episode is definitely some Mobius timeline stuff. And I think it opens under Jetsky. And I think we're going to be relying on,
Starting point is 00:15:54 and I feel like the opening shot of next episode is going to be that one trailer. Do you know what I'm talking about? I don't. I honestly think the opening the next week is going to be Mobius Hunter. Do you know what I don't remember it now? After this episode. I only saw the trailer, I think, the one time.
Starting point is 00:16:09 No, I'm not even kidding. Marvel loves to do big climax and then jump cut to something you don't expect. Very specific shot. Damn, but I won't remind you guys about it. We get to live in bliss. But damn. You guys must know what I'm talking about. Especially with the sheet.
Starting point is 00:16:23 You guys are mentioning right now. I really feel like I know what the opening shot of next one is going to be. Loki is the end of time. Loki in the void. No, I don't want it. I don't know Jetsky sound like. It sounds like up here. What's fun about this is whatever the opening.
Starting point is 00:16:39 shot is next week, I could just be like, that was it. Yeah, I'd like to say a specific thing that everyone can say coercion of you. I can be like called it because I didn't actually say you. That was the trailer shot. No, that was the trailer shot. Actually, that was the Celestials.
Starting point is 00:16:53 And you're like, I knew the Celestius was something totally out of the field. I knew Thanos is coming back. By the way. Man, this is great. Also, I love that 20 minutes in. I was like, this reminds me of the first episode and that's how good there is directors. Aaron and Justin are so
Starting point is 00:17:06 good that like it was so their style, but I didn't assume it was theirs because they just have this tone and pace they mastered. There's a great call. You call that right away of that Loki pruned himself. Yeah, I called episode one, and then I love that they came back before. But great job on the misleading of shots to make it look like Sylvie might have just
Starting point is 00:17:22 one, boop! Right? Yeah. Also love that the auriboris of the season they let Justin Aaron direct both ends of the snake eating its tail. Yeah. I love that they let the style reflect the director's take. I do think that there's that he who remains
Starting point is 00:17:38 there's something very like there's something about Oroboris the character not the not what it means the concept of Oby the character of Oby because there were similarities between him and he who remains of characters who are isolated waiting for visitors and the
Starting point is 00:17:54 first visitor they get it hundreds of years as Loki oh and they have all this knowledge and this passing of information that's why I was like will Oroboris recognize Victor timely in some capacity but he also didn't seem to have his memory wiped entirely. Like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:18:10 There was, like, something there. Like, because he was remembering shit about Mobius and when they had an encounter in that first episode. So he's beyond the wipe. He's above it. But the end of Ant Man implied the nexus level being that means all Kang's look alike. So I don't think he's a Kang,
Starting point is 00:18:27 but what if he's a construct like Miss Minutes that he is something removed from time? So he's the oral... He's the self-reflecting art of Kang's concepts. I mean, why would you name him Orabor? Like, his name is Oraboros. It's a little on the note. You can't spell Robot without OB.
Starting point is 00:18:42 Like, that is not just some name given. Do you know what I mean? You know what I mean? Well, yeah, they're talking to each other is the Oroboros. Like someone had to have named him that. Unless when Kang slash he remains slash timely knew all these events would occur, they knew he was the center of the auriboris and thus named him that because he's the one that has to help them get time solved. So he's the center of this cycle. a plant, a robot, an OB.
Starting point is 00:19:06 He's got to be, yeah. He's the center of the snake. The loop, I think. Or he's can't. And I know they say Tom works differently in the TVA, but he seems like he's been around board for like hundreds of years. 400 or whatever they said, yeah. Yeah, no, yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:20 Living, but I know time works differently in the TVA. I think he's, I think he's something made. That's what I'm saying, yeah. Yeah, I think we're saying the same thing. I feel like he who remains made him. Yeah, I think he's a miss minutes. I mean, we know he can make convincing. animatronics.
Starting point is 00:19:35 Yeah. And what's more narcissistic than a guy that wants to conquer time itself than by making something that would be the thing that solves it? And that it mirrors him greatly. Like the mirror to him, right? Like, let me bounce my ideas off you
Starting point is 00:19:47 off this mirror of my own creation. Who loves me? And then he's Herbie and Fantastic Four confirmed. Hey, yeah. That was so... Easter eggs. I'm so excited by this show again. Yeah, no, I mean, it's fun
Starting point is 00:19:58 to be left in a place where you're like breathless and like overjoyed, but also like, no, no, two more, it's only two more episodes. Yeah. And then I'm going to have to wait another, like, three years for this feeling again, however long it takes them to do more low-key. I do wish we had a little bit more time with docs and all them.
Starting point is 00:20:17 Yeah. That's the one part of the show that I was like, ooh, that would have hit a lot, a lot more, and that choice would have been more felt. Agreed. I'm like, we didn't really, we didn't really spend much that. If episode two was seven minutes longer. Like, episode two, feeling rush really is affected a lot. I feel like that is something that was significantly paired for this because I think there's a lot of interesting stuff you could do and they represent an interesting side of the conversation about all of this in terms of certain people learn the truth and are immediately like, oh my God, what have I done?
Starting point is 00:20:48 But other people take a long time to deprogram or, you know, to build the trust to see past the, you know, paradigms, blah, blah, blah. And so like I appreciated more in this episode that they went swiftly about it because that created a lot of unexpected situations. and a lot of great things to respond to. In isolation, I think the brevity of it here and the directness of it here was good, but at the same time, especially in light of episode two, I think, yeah, you could have experienced a lot of that. Well, that's what I'm saying, putting it there
Starting point is 00:21:16 would allow the wait to be here. I think this episode was appropriately paced, but if that had been earlier, we'd have to be. And I, and I feel like I've been bringing this up every episode since episode two. As much as I love this one,
Starting point is 00:21:30 I put it up there with episode one, for me i put it up there with episode one i still feel like like i love watching tom hittleston because he's tom hitleston sure he is still just kind of straightforward dramatic resigned intense staring guy and i like i get the arc he i want an arc i want it i want the art to stay through i'm not asking for him to go back to being like god of just be mischievous you know but It's just kind of a straightforward dramatic performance now. And I'm missing some personality layers of the things that made me fall in love, that make all of us fall in love with Loki. This does feel.
Starting point is 00:22:13 He is like essentially just a really, really good TVA agent now. And I am missing, I am missing that. Like, I appreciate the arts and the lines and the dialogue. I appreciate all that. That closing shot, so much emotion. I could have two feelings about it. I can appreciate a lot, but I'm like, but I also. feel like we're missing
Starting point is 00:22:33 a lot of, we're missing this complete other layer of the thing that got us on board with Loki to begin. I respect the duality. It feels like Asoka only in so far as this is much more an ensemble than it feels like it's about its title character. Not just that. It's just
Starting point is 00:22:50 a very straightforward, like dramatic character now. You know what I mean? He's not as impish. Yeah, he's not as like rascally. There's no fun with Loki. He's not a It's certainly not the god of mystery. Well, I think there's not, there's no, it's not a, there's no fun with him.
Starting point is 00:23:07 Well, because he's not at odds anymore with like the bottom line of what's happening. But I love the intensity. That's the thing. I love the intensity at the same time. I'm like, with Mobius, they still manage to be, have intensity, but also keep that level of fun. You know, it'd be fun, but impossible to do because everybody needs the namesake of Loki. Imagine if this show was called Kang, and it was a Kang TVA agent trying to stop himself from becoming Kang. so you replace the Tom Hiddleston part
Starting point is 00:23:32 with another Jonathan Majors and it's Jonathan Majors as a TV agent. But imagine if Jonathan Majors is playing a straight-laced TV agent that is a Kang variant that was trying to stop himself from becoming Kang.
Starting point is 00:23:44 So he's trying to stock Victor Timely and he who remains from ever becoming the Oroboris that is Kang and then dealing with OB so all that intensity would build out both characters. I'm kind of questioning what I said because I'm like
Starting point is 00:23:58 it wouldn't make sense that he's a little bit more dramatically resigned after everything he's been through. Like Thor? I mean, he has been significantly changed by the things he has seen. He knows the truth of everything.
Starting point is 00:24:10 It's so little of anything before matters. The whole scene with the pie. You gotta get hope. You gotta believe in something. A heartbreak of Sylvie. I mean, it does character-wise line up. My ridiculous idea just fixed Loki
Starting point is 00:24:22 for you. You're welcome. That's what it was. My thing that had nothing to do with Loki. Here we are. You're welcome. That idea is so bad that I like this show more. It wasn't a bad idea. I'm saying that it did.
Starting point is 00:24:40 No, I think, yeah, no, no, I think both things can still be true. It's like, I'm not upset because the placement of his character and the emotionality of his character tracks. But, you know, that's like a quintessential part of Loki that makes him distinct in the MCU pantheon, as well as the comics pantheon that he is this mischievous figure and there's not as much opportunity for misty-o. I thought when he was able to do magic.
Starting point is 00:25:04 With Brad, yeah. Yeah, like that kind of brought me closer to that place again. So part of me is like, well, you know, the TVA, you can't use powers unless you shut off all the security. So, like, maybe if we could get back out in the field, there's, like, more opportunities for that. But at the same time, I'm like, clearly, like, everything worth happening right now is at the TVA.
Starting point is 00:25:22 So I cannot wait for next week. Yeah, I'm not even asking for it to be, like, mischievous or devious in any way. That's not even what I'm really asking for. It's just more fun. A little bit more personality. Like there's some glimmer of that old Loki charm in there. I guess that's the one simple way to put it. Look, that old charm would be nice.
Starting point is 00:25:40 Yeah, no, totally. Some charm. It's a glimmer in his eye or something like that because he is the most, even Mobius at times, and I think they confronted that nicely in this episode because he's so removed from everything, can have that. Whereas Loki is like so aware of everything going on and his involvement in all that. that, yeah, I think he is burdened. With glorious purpose?
Starting point is 00:26:01 With glorious consequences. All righty, guys, well, what did you think about this episode? Leave your thoughts down below. What would you rate it? I would give this, like, a solid. I mean, I liked that. I loved it. I was like a 10 out of 10.
Starting point is 00:26:17 I loved it. Yeah, I was going 9-7. Like, I was, muw. Big fan. Nothing's perfect. Going 10.3, all right? Just even a little better than perfect. I would really remove from it, man.
Starting point is 00:26:30 I thought that was, like, one of the most, that was, like, genuinely, like, it was exciting and rare as the day I say with anything with Disney Plus shows, especially, like, that was actually not just, a lot of times it's like, oh, exciting, intriguing, I'm gripped, but I rarely say suspenseful. And, like, that was actually, like, this is, this is intense. Yes, this is suspenseful shit. I don't know what's going to happen, and there are surprises that just. kept happening like and and it wasn't like fucking easter egg surprises you know it was it it was
Starting point is 00:27:04 serious and it ended in a way like i just don't expect yeah um and i i thought that was actually actually suspenseful and i i i don't think i've said that for any of the disney plus show episodes yeah not even loki episode one no season one um i don't i don't even think i said that for season one it's got tension it's got suspense and it beautifully uses the disconcertion of all the timey whimey strangeness like it has that eerieness that only this kind of sci-fi can bring you that then like when you have those moments that's like you know rafa going down the hall or whatever like those read as more traditional horror but yeah there's just there's yeah that's 70s paranoia there are all those like subtle stretch and crush zooms that they do like there's so much they do to
Starting point is 00:27:47 to just make you feel like everything is off somehow and i think that is beautifully rendered here and also accentuates every single other emotional flavor they go for. Loki's back on top, my number one MCU show again. Hondo P. I'm just hoping it sticks to sixth. All right, guys. Thank you so much for being here. And, uh, yes, nice with a patron of the day shoutout.

Starting point is 00:32:05 Yes. Yeah, definitely. He doesn't see a doctor. He doesn't believe in medical science. He refuses to see a doctor, doesn't believe in medical science. He's a big conspiracy theorist. huge conspiracy theorist very anti-pirating movies
Starting point is 00:32:31 that's where he draws the line and yeah and then what's another fun fact we can think about him what do we muse about this guy I think that loves to stretch and yeah sure and he's always got rose clutched in his teeth always has a rose clutched in his teeth and he can't bench very much
Starting point is 00:32:57 even though he's he looks fit he'll drive 30 miles away in order to release a fart got to yeah got to have yourself dude the one thing he's embarrassed about oh no um and uh owes a lot of money to his mom. And all, what's he dressed as for Halloween? And on Purge Knight, he's dressed as as, uh, the Johnny Depp Madhatter.
Starting point is 00:33:32 As Johnny Depp Madhap. Okay. Write me a scene. Only dialogue of them encountering each other of them doing purge night together where a huge conflict
Starting point is 00:33:55 arises between them halfway through the scene between them in the middle of the scene that may be the destruction of their friendship oh drama oh this is going to be heavy doc all right let's see what goes down here
Starting point is 00:34:15 let's see what's going on people it's not letting me scroll okay here we go it's just building suspense exterior purged night abandoned alley night street lights flicker and the distant sounds of chaos reverberated through the valley the alley somewhere close we hear the sounds of Geo's engine purring
Starting point is 00:34:34 you gotta do this racist style John okay am I fleaer who's whose race in my obscuring all right Ricardo this is nuts never thought I'd see the day where we'd be teaming up for the purge.
Starting point is 00:34:47 And you as Madhatter, bold choice. Ricardo, with a rose question is Tis smirking. Johnny Debtzda, my friend. You know, you as Dr. Strange, is pretty ironic. Especially given what you're planning tonight, man. Everybody has the advice. A few pirated movies won't hurt anyone. Besides, I need enough movies to last me the year.
Starting point is 00:35:13 Flav. I might be anti-Mexam. medical science and a conspiracy theorist, but pirated movies. That's crossing the line, I say. Come on, Ricardo, it's the purge. And, hey, didn't you just hotwire the Gio? I owe a lot of money, especially to my mom's. Need to save every penny.
Starting point is 00:35:35 But pirating, that's someone's hard work, man. Look, I understand that. And honestly, I didn't want to bring this up. But you're constantly talking about your STD. And yet you won't see a doctor that someone's health we're talking about. Hey, it's my choice. At least I don't keep secrets about having a girlfriend and a boyfriend. What's going to happen that they find out tonight, man?
Starting point is 00:36:01 That's personal. Ricardo, how did you even find out? Am I ways, you're not the only one with tricks up his sleeve, I say. I know. I need to sort it out. I just can't bear the thought of it. losing either of them. And I can't bear the thought of you stealing artists' hard work.
Starting point is 00:36:20 Plus, I must I might love churros and burritos. But I have valued. So what's that you? You heathens out there enjoying your churros. So what now? We go our separate ways tonight.
Starting point is 00:36:40 Look, Cleve, I cherish our friendship. But this, this might be the breaking point. Suddenly, the distant roar of an approaching gang interrupts their confrontation. We need to move now. Agreed. Let's survive the night and deal with our issues tomorrow. The two make a hasty retreat.
Starting point is 00:36:58 Their unresolved conflict looming over them as they navigate the deadly night all gather. Oh, my God. That was brilliant. Yeah, man. I think every script should be written by Chad. If you want good comedy, Chad GPT is unbeatable. It's just terrific stuff. My favorite line is I might look churros and burritos, but I have values.
Starting point is 00:37:22 Yeah, you can't have values if you're chero and burrito eater. That's just the heathen food right there. Oh, that's my favorite. Yeah, I really wish I could ask the machine what it was thinking about when it wrote that line. Let's ask it. What do you mean by I might love? Churros and burritos, but I have values. That sounds like people who generally love churros and burritos usually have a low moral standard.
Starting point is 00:38:08 I apologize for that oversight. The intention was to contrast the lighter humorous aspects of Ricardo's character. character with a more serious stance on movie piracy, but the phrasing was off. It was not meant to imply anything negative about people who enjoy churros or burritos. Let's me rephrase it. They've rephrased it to, look, I might have my quirks, but I stand firm on some things. Piracy is where I draw the line. You're right, Chad, GBT.
Starting point is 00:38:38 This rewrite is just not as funny. Yeah, yeah. Sometimes, you know, you've got to smear a community of, you know, food enjoyers to get the comedy. Okay. I understand. Finding the right balance between humor and clear communication can be a challenge. If you have any other specific directions or ideas for the scene, I'm here to help. Otherwise, thank you for the feedback, and I'm glad to assist it further in any way I can.
Starting point is 00:39:02 Can it end with Ricardo leaving the scene to go fart, but he doesn't want to specify that. absolutely all right let's see let's see what they do all right to pick it up from the end fleb we need to move now agreed let's survive tonight and deal with our issues tomorrow as they prepared to navigate the dangerous street chariotes suddenly looks uncomfortable actually uh flev i need to um take a quick detour you know like personal reasons just giving like even like 30 minutes 30 miles 30 30 miles
Starting point is 00:39:45 really now yes now it's urgent it's urgent with that Ricardo hastily rushes off leaving Flev chucking to himself as he imagines the true reason for Ricardo's hasty much better ending yeah yeah that's true it's an Easter right yeah that's quality well we did it
