You've likely heard about ExpressVPN for online privacy and security, but there's more too than that. However, there was a very very real incident recently with Spectrum showing out my internet and contacted me due to a suspecting hacking attempt. And funny enough, I realized I hadn't actually activated my ExpressVPN on my new laptop that I got a couple of months ago. So I was paying the consequences. Having faced a serious hacking issue on YouTube a couple years ago, that made ExpressVPN my go-to for both security and freedom. I mean it. And yes, which if heard is true, believe me, this channel knows.

Starting point is 00:06:11 That's my favorite one of the season so far. Favorite. It's really brought. It's because we had a returning character from season one. Yeah. I didn't like any of this until Finley showed up. And then I was like, it all makes sense. Now, if you just get Roscoe, oh wow.
Starting point is 00:06:23 Oh, dude, you never know. You never know. Never know what can happen. The endless possibilities of television programs. The couple of endless possibilities. No, even before that, it was dawning on me in the way they bicker in the restaurant at that very opening scene that they're the best ones to cast out in Reacher's mind, you know, because they know him the best. So he feels simultaneously the most comfortable, yet they can poke and prod him the way that could hit a soft spot better than. anyone else whereas you know last season you're exposed to a bunch of characters where you just know
Starting point is 00:06:59 he's in like in control he's in charge and whatever they have to say about him they're probably wrong yeah they probably have no idea whereas these are the other that you got pain richard what is it underneath that pain you know yeah so this is like people who definitely respect and look up to him but also have been with him long enough to to be able to see him in a way most people can't yeah because as much as the leader of the operation he still wants to always always being equal with them. So the way they like jest with each other, I think it's really strong. So yeah, no, I really felt like the core chemistry of the cast really shine the light.
Starting point is 00:07:34 I feel like it finally caught up to my emotions here. Yeah. And that's a really big mystery at hand. Last one was, you know, a small town smuggling or whatever. And I don't really remember the details. Yeah, yeah. And this one's like, we could destroy a country, you know. yeah yeah we could we get any target we won we could win any war this is like much bigger uh much bigger
Starting point is 00:08:02 money at play as well so it's it's cool though and i i like everything uh about this one i thought the chemistry was solid i like watching them out in the field being undercover and then of course getting the down and dirty fight at the end like we a lot of the things that i i'm not been diving into the comments, admittedly, on Reacher 1 and 2, 2 to 1 through 3 reaction, only because I know how these things go, all right. I see the way audiences are loving things. And here we are having like, yeah, we're enjoying it, but we're not as in love with it. I know that equates that we're getting a lot of crap in the comments.
Starting point is 00:08:42 So I'm not going to why would I expose myself to that unnecessarily? And there's one thing to like engage and have a discussion with a discourse or whatever. It's another thing when you're diving in through a plethora of YouTube comments That I'm just going to assume are there And I'll say though that the emotions get people killed Assumptions do get people killed You need all the details Yes or whatever that was the line
Starting point is 00:09:06 Details matter I think And then Richard had a realization that Details do matter an investigation Oh my God guys there are these whole things called clues I've just been assuming of these details Is that what you call that? Explain to me specifically in depth. What is a detail?
Starting point is 00:09:29 What do you mean there's not just one detail? There are many kinds of detail. How many details do I have to keep track of? Is there a finite number of details? Break it down to me at its molecular core. What is a detail? Bring me a definitive detail so I can just understand the basic principle.
Starting point is 00:09:48 You can't just look at anything and say it's a detail. That's the point of detail. Details matter. They do. Everything is the details. Yeah, yeah. That was really, I was, I just like, I don't know, I just really like the style. I felt kind of that New York vibe and it felt like there was a kind of a more unique personality to it.
Starting point is 00:10:08 I wasn't even like thinking about the action until we got to the moment where, oh, I feel like an action scene's coming. Yeah, I think that's, I think in the most simplified way, that is what I often hope for from this show in particular, a show like. this is, yeah, to be engrossed no matter what is happening and to be just as engrossed by the, you know, relationships and the figuring out of the mystery, even if some of that figuring out is, you know, very kind of rapid fire and details are sort of like, oh, you got to grab on. Like, there are certainly moments where, and we joke during the episode, and yes, if we were completely silent throughout the entire thing, it might be easier to catch every little detail, but those moments. In this video would also constantly get blocked in copy. Yes, and there would be very little footage. He got away to. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:10:54 So, you know. But yeah, like those moments where people were clarify. I mean, I really, it dawned on me yesterday. I got to interrupt. And part of the interruptions, what I'm going to say. What's the rest of the interruption? Just this part explaining it? Is that, you know, were you officially diagnosed yet?
Starting point is 00:11:15 ADHD or ADD? Were you actually diagnosed or were you just suspected? I was like, yeah, I've been diagnosed twice. Yes. That's how I know for sure. Yes. After much going around with many, many professionals. Well, what do you have?
Starting point is 00:11:29 ADHD. Okay, I've been diagnosed ADHD. Depression anxiety. Here are all my issues. I wasn't asking for the whole like problem list history, John. I was like about one thing. Jesus. Dial it back.
Starting point is 00:11:41 You were asking about Jesus. It's your victim. Jesus was a savior born in Bethleh. Right around this time of you. year except really in April is that this fast thinking mind is we have a our mind is constantly thinking of things all the time it doesn't stop doesn't turn off we're like creature that way and we're able to utilize that via reaction the things that we often reserve to ourselves out of politeness and knowing that in regular day-to-day viewing experiences for individuals that we would
Starting point is 00:12:12 just get on their nerves with the amount of thoughts that we'd be sharing we now have an excuse to actually get that out of our system. Yes. Because A, that's what is going through our mind and heart. And B, it gives something to cut away to, to feature the reaction to get the requisite eight to ten seconds. You're only allowed for a clip. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:32 And we're also, I mean, you know, these are all happening off to maintain the sanctity of the first reaction. You know, these are all just whatever we got in the moment. So you better hope you got good observations, good. Commentary for Jokers and good rhymes for Jack Reacher in the moment. And sometimes... All I saw was the top comment of the last one, and I said, I am not going through the wormhole of these comments.
Starting point is 00:12:59 Yes, yes, no. And that was all about... They've run out of puns. I even cut out the whole thing about... When you said Jack Crowbar, the whole thing was cut out of... When I was like, Crowbar, John, what is... There's not even a rhyme there. Yes, Jack Reacher and Jack Crowbar aren't that far away.
Starting point is 00:13:17 Because they don't rhyme. They're in the same meter. But we have established, but, but, okay. You must admit, Jack Reacher and Jack Poacher don't rhyme. Just because there's a chur at the end doesn't make those rhymes, though. So like, it's really hard to get, because you always need an E-er rhyme to make it truly rhyme. They rhyme better than crowbar. Agree to disagree.
Starting point is 00:13:42 How does crowbar? Because it still ends in an R, it's still a two. two-syllable word. And so, like... Wow, I didn't realize orange and stories. And it still has Jack. And it still has Jack.
Starting point is 00:13:53 I don't realize I'm reacting with Eminem on camera. I mean, I'm going to employ a little bit of his words for surey because people revere his technical ability and will accept that rhymes can exist where they're not
Starting point is 00:14:08 most obviously presenting themselves. And some of them, yes, are going to be duds. Some of them are just not going to be amazing. and I regret that. I'm saying we have established we have established through a whole season one
Starting point is 00:14:23 that when we are pun rhyming that it's obviously very much like obvious one syllable or a very clear distinctive one syllable rhyme or a two syllable rhyme it's like jack flack slack rack attack
Starting point is 00:14:40 I'm giving you one to hold on to for the future attack is a two syllable word yes but it's act part that the average listener is going to pick up you you know don't say there's more ways to do what you know we're dealing with youtube audience is fair enough i'll keep it we're not anthony fontano we're not this is that's not who i'm drawing my pun game from yeah but i think he can make an argument because he's talking about music and lyrics we're making stupid jokes that ride with jack richard now, independent of my viewership of the needle drop channel, I have ascribed to the theory
Starting point is 00:15:19 that poetry can be poetic without rhyme. So, like, I'm making the effort to at least try and make it, like, relevant to or rhymable in a way. But, like, it doesn't always have to be a rhyme to equate to wordplay or poetry. I agree. So I'm just going to stick to churs. On a fundamental level, I agree with you. I'm going to go for at e.er.
Starting point is 00:15:41 The way it is being conveyed to the. audience sure as the top voted comment yeah no I mean I'll take it after a while you can't just blame everyone else I'm not going to we have to look internally go there's something that we are looking that's the challenge but yes I know I know shouldn't we challenge the audience these joke these stupid silly jokes they're challenging by me by me coming down down on this. I guarantee whoever made it this far will be comments being like, I'm with John on this
Starting point is 00:16:19 one. That's all I do. That's all we've done. We've opened the door, man. But in seriousness, fine. Like, I'll take the note. We needed the conversation though. I'll rein in the attempt to puns and I'll only release the cream of the crop. John, no. I held back on happy sure. We needed to have the content. That would
Starting point is 00:16:35 and that would weirdly work. That would work. That's a good one. It doesn't need to be two syllable. It can be four syllables, but if it ends in a chur, we accomplished it. So the chur is the real key to the rhyme. I really think it is, honestly. For the average listener?
Starting point is 00:16:51 I will accept that that may, that those are the parade. If you were like, oh, I want to, I want to learn how to write a rap. I think people would start with that kind of mentality, right? They would look at the chur. But I agree. I think they will quickly learn that if they only use the chur as the rhyme, they will soon go, well, the first halves of all these. words are like totally different and it's not as impressive because a million words end
Starting point is 00:17:17 in chur just like there's a beseecher well anyone who is doing sure anybody who does an activity is an er of some kind or like weaker yeah bleaker peeker sneaker yeah so those I think I don't anything else to be a chur but you could add er to anything is my point I know I know I made that point last season when you were pulling that shit and I said no John we must challenge the audience. It's an auriborous. Well, I have some positive thoughts on the episode. It doesn't matter anymore.
Starting point is 00:17:55 We're done. I will manage the instinct on the puns. We've definitely talked so much more about it. And I will try and bring my better game to that. All we have to do is bring it up. And then now you have a rise of defenders in your corner. And now we can do both. Way to call engagement for these videos.
Starting point is 00:18:15 No, I really liked this episode, and I agree. I liked. I was happy, sure, with the episode, and I'll find a way to shoehorn that into the next reaction. I didn't mean a Flack Reacher, it's okay, man. I take it back, Reacher. Anything I might have said to, you know, defy. Oh, I just thought of a good one for, oh, okay. I feel I don't forget it, but I thought of a perfect one.
Starting point is 00:18:45 I'll just say it would have been great for when Jack and Dixon were doing it in the bedroom. Ooh. Okay. Come on. Do you know what? I think so. Do you want me to levy my guess? I mean.
Starting point is 00:19:01 Yes. What? Okay. Riddle me this. How clean is it? Because I have a clear idea I think works because they were in the sack reacher. That's it. Okay.
Starting point is 00:19:10 All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. Then we hit. Yes. That is a good. All right. Next do what it's seen. Sack. Reacher. Sack. Come it up. Yes. Call her here. But, but, you know, to get back Reacher to discussing Reacher episode four. No, I, this has been a steady kind of incline of, yeah, it's taken these. Each episode seems to clarify kind of what this season is going for. And I'm getting more and more on board with that
Starting point is 00:19:40 as we go, and this episode had the best, like, calcified ensemble. Like, I was really getting into, like you said, the rhythm of all, of the main four of them. And, yeah, even though there are so many of these details that are, like, a lot to keep track of, and you've got these names of companies and, you know, different incidental characters and then different important characters and things like that, it's not the way that they... Hardened by deposition or conversion into calcium carbonate or another... insoluble calcium compound. Oh, you know, something is made material.
Starting point is 00:20:17 Something is like made. Does that fit? Am I miss using this word? Say it read the definition again? I wasn't trying to correct you. I didn't know what it meant. Well, now I want to see if I used it. Pardoned by deposition or conversion into calcium carbonate or another.
Starting point is 00:20:30 I was going to type it on the computer. Yeah, it's like something becomes solid. Reasonably far away. Solidified. Maybe somebody, a vocab nerd can jump in. But yeah, it's like their chemistry. and their dynamic gets more solid the more time...
Starting point is 00:20:43 It's chemistry, John. The purest chemistry. Johnny. Let the actors cook. Yeah, like all the four main ones. You don't spend that much time with the cop, but I like, again, him. Whenever he busts through,
Starting point is 00:21:00 I'm always pleased to see him, and there's always... I can feel the scene he's having, even though he's off screen. Like, whenever he pops in and he's, like, pissed off at them. I'm like, I can see what you're doing. day is probably like such a new yorker yeah and i love that and i'm really enjoying that as part of
Starting point is 00:21:16 this because like we're not spending that much time like soaking up this city and part of me i waver on that because part of me is like we've done new york in all of cinema of a billion trillion bazillion times and so even though part of me is like let me cool to see like how this world immerses in it i i feel like we still are in a way especially going into like upper crust politics and things like that and then well i think fish out of water is a natural is like i think one of the best audience hooks you can ever do sure you know because even if you're jack ritcher who's mr mystery is yeah mr in control yeah uh because he's still fish out of water there's something where you are on the journey with him yeah because fish out of water
Starting point is 00:22:01 yeah and and um they have completely removed that element yeah yeah yeah Yeah. Outside of what's happening here, guys, you know? Yeah. It's not really a fish out of water. Yeah, he sticks out everywhere, but not in the same way he did back in Margrave. In New York, no one's going to be like, whoa, look at the giant walking. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:22 What beetstock did you fall out of? Yeah. Yeah, he blends in a bit more. And I think it's a nice, fun, kind of subtle choice to, yeah, bring in his peers who can see him and who can foil him in a way we're not used to seeing him foiled so much in an emotional sense more than a, yeah, a physical
Starting point is 00:22:42 or an even like cunning sense at least that we know of so far. Well, I love how much they question him and how much it seemed to really make, you could see in Alan Richen's performance. Yeah. That, what is it?
Starting point is 00:22:58 He doesn't waver in his belief when he believes he's, you know, when he feels like he's right about something. Yeah. I know the content of Swan's character. I don't believe he would go this way no matter what. But he gave enough of a shade of a doubt and his performance. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:14 It's a show and only this team could kind of get to him on that. Yeah. And it shows the that, yeah, it's like that's a well-worn. It's like it's been built up over so much time. So it's not like fragile in that sense, but it is like, yeah, this is a tenuous line, you know, casting doubt on one of our own. Or tempestuous. freaking yeah it's tempestuous man oh fuck it's all right but yeah like and there just the fact like he's so adamant against it but he's also not like flying off the handle but he's still just kind of taking the feedback and not like completely shading the team or making it some kind of melodramatic thing it's like he's clearly steadfast in his belief in his gut instinct about you know the things that are going on in the circumstances.
Starting point is 00:24:06 But yeah, I like the way they handle those shadows of doubt. And especially in this episode, I thought it got pretty engrossing as to just like, yeah, what, okay, so clearly these two companies are together. I want to believe that Swan, you know, sees the risk that this little wing program presents. Right, right. And, you know, is trying to, you know, send messages from the inside the Hendricks thing, you know, and you hope for that. And I have to feel like because he looks so suspicious in that scene where they're at the car with the bricks.
Starting point is 00:24:38 And they're like, hey, where's this extra brick of drugs that just like fell out into the, you know, space below your seat, I guess. Like, yeah, it's, it's, I like the way this episode breathed to, uh, track reacher. Hey, failed to track reach or the drugs under the back seater. This is being used in the review. This is. So it is allowed to be used again in further reaction. Yes, it's a touchstone back to the moment in the episode. Yeah, it makes, yeah, it's, these are, these are appendix puns.
Starting point is 00:25:10 And we will act like we thought of them for the first time there. Yeah, totally, totally, totally. Yeah, if you stick around for the reviews, next reaction, you know, you'll feel a little included on some special shit. But, yeah, I like all that stuff. And I like the AM guy, even though it is the most broad part of this particular story. In a story that, again, not to keep being like the first season, but like they seem to establish that the tone of the show wants things to be pretty tangible, pretty real. And that's part of the fun is that Jack Reacher and his crew, but especially Jack, come off kind of super in some way. Like, oh man, like, yeah, this guy is a big buff Sherlock Holmes of sorts.
Starting point is 00:25:55 But, oh, goodness, I had a train of thought. They were saying that Jack showering in the bathroom is one of like life's greatest cinematic things ever. The broadness. Yeah. Like it even like even though there is still like a magic
Starting point is 00:26:12 and a certain level of height to what the show is doing. It is like kind of beyond the sort of realism that they seem to want to maintain when it is like I'm in I need to do I need to figure my way out of this identity
Starting point is 00:26:28 Pickle bus bench guy. I'm just going to immediately go see him. I'm going to immediately kill him. And then I'm going to take his glasses and I'm going to leave. You've got to think about the timeline of it, guys. We've got a problem. I've got a solution. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:44 I'm going to kill this man, take his identity. I get myself out of this predicament of it. This plan will be delayed by a couple days. I just need enough time to find a good person who looks just like me to assume their identity. And I enjoy, the thing is, luckily, I enjoy it. It's funny, because we were just watching on Patreon, Supernatural, and it almost made me think of that, uh, because there's an episode where there's a scenario that seems like they're going to do a fake twin brother. A nephalum. Um, yeah, fake twin brother. They're going to do nephalum. Uh, and like,
Starting point is 00:27:16 I thought they were going to do a nephalum. Yes. I thought it was going to summon a nephalum. That's right. You're going to rip a hole in, uh, time and space, find an alternate dimension where like Jack Reacher's. It was like this. They have got something else. Oh, boy. Yeah, he's osmodyistic. But no, it's one of those things that's like it's a trope. And especially it's a film noir thing, or at least to me it reminds me of stuff like Dark Passage where it's like, oh, you know, the drifter who's either a PI or a hitman or whatever who got his face changed. Like I appreciate the tradition of noir storytelling that comes from.
Starting point is 00:27:52 But at the same time, it is very much like it kind of undercuts. I'm not sure, actually. I don't know. It gives this mystique to AM. And so, like, it's kind of broad, and he's so good at what he does. And he's always cool and calm. And he's got the comic books and stuff like that. So, like, there's a lot of details and flavors around that character.
Starting point is 00:28:13 But it is still, like, the most kind of broad element. And I think it's still, it's not taking me out too much because it's not the majority of what we're watching. Right now, the only thing that I would say is, you know, I think expect. to fear for Jack Reacher's life is a ridiculous ask of the audience. I would never impose that feeling onto myself or anyone else. Fear for who he loves. Yes, or who he's concerned about cares about. And right now, if any of them died on the team, I'd be like, that's sad.
Starting point is 00:28:52 But if someone came up and shot Finley, I'd be so... I hate crime. is this stop everything you'll kill that guy uh i would i i would i i wouldn't like new he's one but the others actually you know that i'm breaking it down i'm pretty bummed of dixon died honestly i'm getting at the point where i'd be bummed of dixon or o'Donnell die yeah and donald with the dad qualities i think really and o'Donnell in this episode was was particularly fun but also showed his worth as i started saying it i was imagining and i was like hey i actually know, I guess I'm out of, none of them to the degree.
Starting point is 00:29:31 I guess that is the one thing. Because I was there really early on for Neely and Roscoe in first season. Yeah. Where if any of them died or like they, I was so concerned for them. Because you're not concerned for Jack Reacher's life, but they, them I was concerned for. Yeah. And with these guys, like, it's their lives who are on the line. And I'm still nowhere near there.
Starting point is 00:29:57 I won't be devastating. Yeah, I would be bummed. I will care. But it is the thing where I feel like this season has had a more kind of steady build alongside the immediacy of the mystery. And again, the circumstances make sense to why. But I feel like in the first season, you had more pronounced introductions to characters. Whereas here, yeah, everyone's kind of crashing together.
Starting point is 00:30:21 And they're like, we're doing this kind of mid-investigation. So it just moves different. And that's fine. Like, I don't mind that. And I'm liking this increasingly, so I assume that by the end, you know, I might love this at a whole kind of different way from the first. And I like when contrasts like that can happen. And I am happy to give a show like this, that kind of patience to develop that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:42 I would like to be at a point soon where I'm like, no. And when we go to season three, then be like, you know, I think back on Roscoe and Finley and those characters. And I want to think back on these guys if we don't see anybody other. I assume Neely will kind of be a through line until she won't leave the show. I guess I'm just not as super emotionally invested in any of them yet, but I am, this was the, like, I was noticing like, oh, when we're cutting away from Richard, I'm actually really enjoying it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:14 And it was the first time that it was really occurring for me with this cast of characters. So, yeah, no, I'm still, I'm still having a lot of fun and I'm really enjoying. And this to me was fun, engaging. and overall, more of the Jack Reacher show that I was really grew very fond of. But guys, what did you think about it? Leave your thoughts down below.
