Starting point is 00:01:27 Let me know what you think. Okay, guys, we're going to dive right into our questions here from our patrons. Oh, no, thank you to prep for helping to edit down these highlights. We super appreciate you. Okay, let's freaking do this. Jessica Hauser, season four was released in two parts. Episodes 1 through 7 was part 1, released May 27, 2022, and episodes 8 and 9 were part 2 released July 1st, 2022.

Starting point is 00:01:55 During episode 6, each group is making progress in their own way, a little bit at a time. what would you like to see happen in episode seven to close out part one um obviously we've watched uh part seven that's episode seven yeah um some of these questions i think will be a mix of possibly six and seven yeah so um because we had to move up the schedule a little bit so that's cool that um that they were released in separate parts and yes i'm also glad jesska that we don't have to wait for a part two yeah i would if i mean luckily i guess for you guys you only had to wait what like a month and four days because if i would have had to wait even longer than that i would have been like i need to know who feckness or whoever this this orderly is this is killing me so uh

Starting point is 00:02:44 again i'm i'm glad you guys when you were watching it at the time didn't have to wait way too long and i'm and obviously we are spoiled because we just got to go through it right away do you I mean, you were watching it at the time, although I know you say you don't remember, but do you even remember the two parts? No. I actually do not. Okay. It's very sad how much I don't remember. It's wackadown.

Starting point is 00:03:08 Honestly, we've talked about. We go through so much media. I get it. Yeah. All right. Let's do our next question from Hacina Ali. I'll read this one real quick. You take the next one.

Starting point is 00:03:19 So glad to see you guys experience this great show. I can't believe it's almost a decade ago when I started watching. this after hearing this is Wynonna Writers' next new Netflix show. What a great comeback. We both agree. For a show set in the 80s, there's been some great actors who were big in the 80s appear on the show like Wynonna, Sean Astin, Carrie Ells, Robert, England. There's another person from the major 80s film who appeared in season 5. Are there any stars from the 80s you wish would have appeared on the show and I hope that

Starting point is 00:03:45 they will be in season 5? By the way, thank you for not spoiling who isn't ever in season 5 because Tara and I have no clue and we like giving you genuine reactions where we don't know a thing. So thank you. I just wanted to say we appreciate that. I mean, my, again, this person is not obviously the best actor,

Starting point is 00:04:02 but he's my favorite. And I think he's the most entertaining actor I've ever seen. And he's the biggest action star of all time. I'm going to go with Arnold Schwarzenegger. I don't know how he would fit in this show, but he's just like he's the biggest star of the 80s too. So, you know, I think, I think he would,

Starting point is 00:04:19 because this show highlights the 80s in such a way, you know, I think he would be fun to somehow insert into the show. I don't know how, but yeah, and I know he played, I know they're doing the Russians here in this season, but, I mean, he did play a Russian in Red Heat, I think the film was called in 1980, directed by Walter Hill, I think, with James Belushi, I could be wrong on that, but yeah, so I don't know what role Arnold would have, but I would love to see Arnold and Stranger things. I think that'd be fun.

Starting point is 00:04:46 How about you? Since you chose him, I'm just going to go Stallone. Yeah. let's freaking go man put the two of them in the same time in the final season that would be dope do it do with so much it would just be so cool to have him like pop up in here i mean i would adore that and i think that it would be so much fun the terminator and rambo and stranger things exactly that's like a missed opportunity so do it all right from melissa taylor thank you so much for being a royal reject and for asking a question we appreciate it

Starting point is 00:05:19 Hey, Tara. Glad to see you back, Andrew. Thank you. I appreciate it. I hope you and your family are holding up okay. I appreciate that. Thank you so much. My question for this episode is, do you think Vecna is aware that he created more gates? Do you think he is intentionally allowing more access into the upside down? Or are the gates in inadvertent side effect to his attacks that create a weakness our heroes can take advantage of? that's a very fascinating question i mean i'm usually often wrong about predictions and these kinds of things um i feel like he's quite aware of what goes on in the upside down it seems like he is at least so to me like he seems like he's in control of all these different types of facets of his mind and just again what happens in the upside down so i think he's aware well that's just me what about you i don't think he's aware you know i'm kind of with you on that he um i mean his main thing is is that every time he kills he gets stronger um and i'm not sure that he knows that they're onto him in regards to they know where the gates are and where to look

Starting point is 00:06:31 right meaning going back to christie and where she died where she was pulled through um or that they're communicating through the lights the the info that matches what he is saying meaning that he would know is because Nancy's in the pool and then she's on the stairs and he's like, I've been waiting for you, right? He's talking to her as though like, okay, he saw her try to get out, brought her back in, didn't let her go. I'm not sure, but I don't know. I kind of think that there is a bit of weakness because I don't think that he actually

Starting point is 00:07:07 would have allowed Eddie and, well, Steve is still in the upside down, possibly. we haven't cut back to that um i don't think he would have let them go back to the real world i think you would have kept them there to kill them because it gives him strength right so i'm thinking that it is a weakness for him and i'm wondering what happens when he finds out yeah no i that's a i think that's a very fair point i just think also too like we saw him pulling steve from the water gate and then also he pulled nancy from eddy's gate as with the eddie's house gate so that's why i'm also inclined to think he could know about the multiple gates i don't know i guess we'll see we'll see all right chase lee thank you both for reacting to this amazing show i know life has been

Starting point is 00:07:53 lifing and flash my deepest condolences to you thank you chase as this season is about grief and loss i hope you take comfort in the presence and memory of your family and close friends the ones that love us never leave us i love that chase appreciate it and his actual question is seeing how nancy immediately dives in after steve do you think that's due to her now natural badassery or some remaining feelings. I don't know if she'd do that for anyone else in the group except Mike. Yeah, I was talking about that during the reaction. I think she is, well, she's a badass in general.

Starting point is 00:08:25 I mean, I think there's a combination of the both. She clearly has feelings for Steve. I mean, as we saw because we reacted now to episode seven. And we still, before episode seven, we knew she had feelings for Steve. And she's still deep down also loves Jonathan as well. So I don't think it mattered that Steve went into the, water or it was mike or it was jonathan whoever fell into that water she's a good samaritan a good human being and no matter who went into the water if it was an innocent life she would jump in after

Starting point is 00:08:53 them that's just the type of person nancy is so yeah of course she did not hesitate that it was someone that she did love but i feel like she would not hesitate no matter who was in that water yeah i think it's a bit of both like she's a badass and she obviously has some remaining feelings for Steve. We know that simply because the way she looked at him in the last episode before he gets out of that boat, she tells him to be careful. And the way she's wrapping him up, give me a freaking break. We all felt that. She rips off part of her skirt and they're like, sorry. And you're like, you guys are so not sorry to be like that close. You can feel it through the screen. That is through chemistry and I love it. So there is what I think they're trying to show the audience is that

Starting point is 00:09:38 Obviously, I don't think Nancy would ever cross a boundary, but there is still that chemistry, that those unresolved feelings are still there. And I'm very curious how the story is going to resolve that. Where is it going to take us with Jonathan and with Steve and with Nancy? We'll see. I'm excited. All right, Rejugation. We'll be coming off summer. I'm still going to be working out five to six times a week, filming constantly and trying to stay dialed in with my energy.

Starting point is 00:10:07 But honestly, you know, fall hits. And suddenly everything feels a little bit harder to keep up with. Still, I want to take my health seriously. I've dropped nearly 50 pounds this year and dropped down from over 20% body fat to now 8%. And a big part of that has been finding smarter ways to help fuel up. That's why I still use and was already using before we ever partner with them, Liquid IV. We got packages like this all around the office. We got five baskets and each basket has a package of Liquid IV.

Starting point is 00:10:36 and Liquid IV has a new energy multiplier, sugar-free, hydrating energy. I take a hydration pack from them every single day. It hydrates better than water alone and gives me energy with no crash, perfect for before workouts on long shoot days, or even when I just need to snap out of that afternoon fog. Powered by L.I. Hydro Science has got natural caffeine, three times the electrolytes are leading sports drinks, and eight essential vitamins.

Starting point is 00:11:02 No sugar, just one stick in 16 ounces of water, and i'm locked in so reject nation if you really want to support your health and by proxy support the channel it's glitch tear poor live more go to liquid iv.com and get 20% off your first order with code rejects at checkout that's 20% off at liquid iv dot com with code rejects thanks for sponsoring this video all right from rennie hi terra and andrew hi rennie can't believe y'all are almost done with this season of stranger things what did you all think of the vectna Henry, 101, their one backstory, P.S. sending you so much love, Andrew. Rennie, I seriously appreciate it. And I appreciate all you at Reject Nation. You have, as I've mentioned on a few videos,

Starting point is 00:11:48 made the worst week of my life just a little bit better. And I love you and appreciate you all for it. So thank you so much, Rennie. What did you think of the reveal of Vecna, Henry, the backstory? I really liked it. I mean, they're obviously, you know, the fact that Papa starts, of this whole thing to recreate one and he goes through all of these numbers and they're pretty good some stronger than others and then they land on 11 and that's sort of his match um and that's why i think that there i don't know if there was ever if we ever saw a 12 or a 13 if if we ever saw one after her when we're on that that session um but i do love his backstory you know he did go through a lot of pain and sort of torture with pop

Starting point is 00:12:35 so he has all that unresolved rage if you will and the second he made that kill and he he looked at his nose and he like wiped it and he was like with each kill i felt stronger it's almost like an addiction for him so i'm not surprised that he is now where he is because of where 11 has put him he is seeking vengeance absolutely um i thought it was one of the best twists and i'm not saying that because a recency bias i'm saying it because it was awesome i had no idea i didn't see it coming and also you know we saw excuse me also the fact that he's freddie kruger's son because robert england of course is his father in the in the show that's awesome in itself very meta but i think his motivations are very fascinating how he looks at

Starting point is 00:13:32 time is like an actual clock on like what are we living for and like how it all is just like just his silly or not silly his twisted outlook on life it's it's compelling even though it doesn't justify what he does but you understand his motivations i think those are the best villains you don't agree with them or justify what they're doing but you understand their mindset on what they're doing or why they are doing what they are doing and i get it and he's very missing in his mind he's very misunderstood. It's like, what is the point of all this living? We're just all going to die anyway. So, and, you know, humans are just, uh, insults at the end of the day. And like, what is the point of all this? It's a silly little play that we're all doing here. So I,

Starting point is 00:14:16 I really thought his backstory. And then like, again, how we got into when we first saw Victor Creel's backstory when Robert England, uh, Victor Creel rather was explaining it. And we saw his son faint like, what a great way to make us the audience, you know, off the scent of thinking it was Henry because when he fainted there and like I just thought it was Vecna in the upside down like did something to his son and was attacking from the upside down like I would have never thought it was Henry such a great twist and it just it dramatically hit because I understood where he was coming from even though I didn't agree with it was so well handled so well executed again there's still two more episodes this is by far my favorite villain

Starting point is 00:14:58 of the four of the four seasons so far I've been granted like he's actually got a voice in and has a real backstory at all that but also the the um uh just the fact that um it's just it's a very dramatic backstory is one it has such a twist to it so i i loved it it was incredible so bravo well done duffer brothers and writing team love it next one is from tim pork roll thank you so much again for the hellfire club shirts i had to put my sweater on because it's so cold of this studio now that you know vachna's true identity which kudos is Andrew from correctly guessing in the four times five reaction?

Starting point is 00:15:34 I don't even remember. What are your predictions for the last two episodes? Also, hope you guys enjoy the Hellfire Shirts. We did. Thank you, Tim. You are amazing. We're loving them. Guys, this is what we're talking about.

Starting point is 00:15:46 Tara wasn't just lying when she says, I don't even remember. Like, I don't even remember half the crap I have seen some of these reactions. When I see like someone saying the comments, you said this in the video, I'm like, I don't even remember. But yeah, what are our predictions for the last two episodes? I'm just got to go with the obvious stuff. I see the whole team coming together and stopping Vecna as kind of the obvious thing, right?

Starting point is 00:16:11 Will and Mike possibly hooking up. I think they've been slightly hinting at that. We'll see. Trying to think what else. I'm curious how they're going to stop Vecna. Maybe like he's going to meet face to face with Brenner. That's kind of building up now that we see they've got a history. together as well as um you know henry or vectna and and 11 so yeah i don't know and also i'm

Starting point is 00:16:39 so curious to see what we're going to do and to resolve this love triangle between steve nancy and jonathan like i'm so anxious to see that so i just want to see susy and and dusty bun embrace each other and kiss like that's the that's gonna be the biggest thing when you know a good sun's what's it called the not the master shot is it the golden hour shot i want to see a golden hour shot of Susie and Dusty with the never-ending song you know, a never-ending story songs in the background.

Starting point is 00:17:08 That's just all I want. That's my prediction. What about you? I love it. You know, I am a little scared because 11 is obviously one's match. She sent him through that gate. She thought of what she needed to and she put him in his place. But now that he has killed

Starting point is 00:17:25 an army of people, which has only made him strong, you know my thing is is like 11 is our weapon but it's not going to be enough and I'm very curious how we are going to get to Vecna like as a group I hope but how is our group going to help 11 to get past him because he is so strong now with all these dead bodies I I just am very intrigued by it and like man how is Hopper and And Winona coming back into that, like, you know, now that they're, you know, they're embracing, they're in that prison, do we have a way out to get back home? And then what do we do?

Starting point is 00:18:14 I mean, Hopper would definitely be one to help 11. Obviously, Winona would be there for the kids as well. Does that give them enough power to somehow put Vecna in his place so that we can kill him? I don't know. Yeah. And one last thing before we move on the next question. I'm going to say something that Tara said in episode four, which was, I'd say that episode and this episode are probably two of the past episodes I've seen in all four seasons.

Starting point is 00:18:38 And there have been some great ones, may I add as well. So that's some high praise. Tara said in episode four of season four that that was one of the best episodes and 11 wasn't even in that episode. And in this episode, this was also one of the best episodes. And Mike was not in this episode. Will was not in this episode. Jonathan was not in this episode, Nargile was not in this episode.

Starting point is 00:19:00 It's quite a statement to be made when you can have some of the best episodes and so many main characters are not in the episode. That's some impressive freaking writing. So I just want to throw praise again. I know I've been praising the Duffer brothers in the writing team, but they really deserve it. It's incredible what they're able to do without having some of the main characters on these episodes went and still do what they do.

Starting point is 00:19:26 I agree. It's amazing. Yeah. All right. From Chase Lee. Thank you so much. Chase for being a royal reject and frasking in question again, buddy. I don't know if you all guessed the twist beforehand, but I did not. And that cemented this as the best season of an almost perfect show. Speaking of an almost perfect show, would you both be interested in watching Game of Thrones? Antonov's, Enzo's character is famously from that show. And Andrew is, missing so many opportunities to reference. I'm going to have to have a talk with Greg about me doing Game of Thrones. We're going to have to do something about that, right, Tara? Yep. Okay, well, we'll see what I can do.

Starting point is 00:20:07 We'll see what we can do. I'm just going to bother Greg until he lets me do it. Okay, we'll work on it for you guys. We will. All right, last question. Hope you love these. This is from Sarah Thompson Hall. She says, hope you have loved these concluding episodes

Starting point is 00:20:21 to part one of season four. In the Rejects podcast, Greg and Coy, I've talked a few times about shows like Stranger Things airing in theaters as a way to help boost box office since it's so cinematic. I think that this season would be amazing in the theater. Would you watch Stranger Things in the theater? And are there other TV shows you would like to see on the big screen? Hell, yes. Let me say that one more time.

Starting point is 00:20:41 Hell yes. I would watch Stranger. I'd watch whole four seasons. I mean, it would take a long time to get through. But season four in particular, 100% I would see then theaters. I know what season, Taryn, I would love to see in theater season two, the Halloween season. to the Halloween season. That would be fun. Spook season, baby.

Starting point is 00:20:57 That would be super fun? Well, I'll let you answer the, would you see this in theaters, and then we can think of what TV shows we'd like to see on the big screen. I definitely would. I think Chaseley, because you mentioned Game of Thrones. I have seen it.

Starting point is 00:21:09 No, I know, but I'm going back to Chaseley. So, yes, I would watch Ranger things, but Chaseley, since you mentioned Game of Thrones, I have watched it once when it first came out. I don't, obviously, as we know me, it was a long time ago when it came out. So I don't remember much, but that would definitely be a show that I would watch in theaters.

Starting point is 00:21:28 I think that that would be so much fun. And yeah, I mean, I guess shows like really any HBO show, right? Like imagine you got to see like penguin or like severance. I mean, that's an appal show. That too. I mean, he loves entourage. I love entourage a lot. Yeah, shows like that that are really epic.

Starting point is 00:21:54 like imagine seeing um calisi on a dragon like that kind of his vibe would be amazing to see i don't know what she's talking about obviously you know what i would watch in theaters smallville i love smallville a lot if you didn't know you won't shut up about it it's such a good show he's already rewatched all the seasons you know what else over 10 times you know what i would also watch in theaters you know what my actual favorite show is of all you know what my favorite sitcom is a

Starting point is 00:22:24 all time boy meets world i would watch that my god that's a great that's a great show i haven't seen that in so long it's good it's on disney plus if you want to watch it you know what else i would watch in theaters and i'm being really serious i would watch batman the animated series in theaters that's my favorite animated show of all time i'd watch that in theaters i have never seen that you really need to it's amazing that show that would be cool that show i would watch in theaters for sure i know it's an it's an animated it's not a live action TV show but I don't care I'd watch that in theaters I love it yeah yeah even like because I think succession was one of the best TV shows on TV I would watch

Starting point is 00:23:03 succession in a movie theater only because that acting is prime time the drama is just 10 out of 10 I love it um anyway we love season four of stranger things obviously this is one of our favorite episodes as it seems to be one of your guys's favorite episodes too We're so lucky that we don't have to wait for 8.9 and we'll probably wait a week or two. But not as long as y'all had to wait. And yeah, I'm just very excited to continue this journey. Please keep giving us all the love, support, the comments, the likes. And yeah, we will see you on the next one.
