00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:37,840
Hey everybody, welcome back to the Pop Culture Junkie Podcast. I'm Hayley, I am here with my fellow Junkies.

3
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:52,840
I'm Shanua, and I'm Nicole. And this episode is a little bittersweet for me because it is my last episode on the Pop Culture Junkie Podcast.

4
00:00:52,840 --> 00:01:00,840
For now, I'm going to put parentheses for now, hyphen, asterisk, because once a Junkie, always a Junkie.

5
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:16,840
But I have a new job that is very exciting. I'm completely changing careers. And it is going to require a lot more of my time.

6
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:39,840
And most likely relocating my physical self. And it's a big change, a lot going on for me and my family. And so, unfortunately, that means I won't be on the podcast weekend and week out. But I hope that doesn't mean that you guys will forget about me.

7
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:51,840
Oh my God, of course not. It's been so incredible, Hayley. It just feels so natural having you here that it's weird to think about a time before you were on the podcast.

8
00:01:51,840 --> 00:02:01,840
So, I don't know, it's been incredible. You're just such a joy and so kind and funny and smart and such a fucking nerd.

9
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,840
Ah, shucks.

10
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:14,840
I don't know. We're going to miss you a lot, but we're really, really excited for you. Yeah, I cannot even express how much I enjoy having you on the show.

11
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:27,840
Someone in the middle, I feel like between me and Shauna, where you know, half of the things Shauna talks about, you know, half the things I talk about, where's that I could just talk about long order with you. I could talk about a bunch of different stuff. And you would understand.

12
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:41,840
I'm very, very excited for you. I can't wait to hear everything. All the stories. Hopefully you can tell us maybe because what you're going to be doing is so, so cool. And I'm so happy for you because I know you've wanted this for a very long time. And you finally get to pursue it.

13
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,840
And I can't wait to see the things that you do because I know you're going to do great things.

14
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:51,840
Thank you guys. I appreciate it. It's honestly, I was like up in my feels earlier today.

15
00:02:51,840 --> 00:03:20,840
I was like, oh man, this, I'm obviously I'm really excited, but like sucks because this is so fun. And thankfully, like, I really feel like we're friends. So I know it's not going to be like the last time we chat. And I better be getting texts about long order and Mandalorian and last of us season two and all the upcoming things because I'm going to need somebody to talk with about that stuff.

16
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:37,840
You will still be in the Junkie group chat. Yes. Absolutely. Absolutely. Always. Well, I figure since it's my last episode, I just would take it over.

17
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:51,840
You know, we are following your lead this week, Hayley the Brave. Carte Blanche just decided to decide before we get into what I wanted to talk about. Let's do our normal.

18
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,840
For my last thought. Let's do our normal.

19
00:03:54,840 --> 00:04:09,840
Pop it and drop it reviews. What did you guys watch and watch it? Everybody check out or skip. Oh man. Okay, I feel like I watched so much since we last recorded.

20
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:18,840
I'll speed through a couple of them. Definitely started a new season of Demon Slayer, which I'm excited about. It's an anime that my husband and I watch.

21
00:04:18,840 --> 00:04:31,840
We finished the latest season of my hero academia, another anime. God, I mean, I'm such a fan of both of those and it's so frustrating because you have to wait so long in between seasons for a lot of these.

22
00:04:31,840 --> 00:04:44,840
Gosh, I finished only murders in the building season one. And I called it. Oh, I knew it was her. Okay, spoilers for anybody who hasn't finished only murders in the building season one.

23
00:04:44,840 --> 00:05:01,840
It was like a couple episodes before and I said, I don't know. She seems a little iffy. She seems sketched to me. So I called it. And he didn't. He thought it was. He, oh my God, he thought it was tied eye guy again. And I was like, no, we're past that. We're past that.

24
00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:11,840
I thought it was her. Jan, right? That's her name. Yeah. I thought it was her a few episodes before the end. But then they threw in like another red hailing. So it.

25
00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:24,840
Yeah, I couldn't this side. I was kind of going back and forth. But I know I kept in like she's too similar to her character in the office. We have to make her kind of different because she's just too likable. But then she started getting a little.

26
00:05:24,840 --> 00:05:36,840
I don't know. A little suspicious. Just wanting to be in the investigation. So bad and getting kind of like but her that they didn't. Well, you know what? No, the first time that it tingled my.

27
00:05:36,840 --> 00:05:54,840
My true crime senses was when she left the note under Brazos. I don't know. She left the note under his door asking for a date. And I was like, didn't the murder also leave notes it kind of look like the same handwriting. And I was like, maybe I'm just going crazy.

28
00:05:54,840 --> 00:06:08,840
I wasn't. I'm good at this. And then I saw two movies that I'll talk about briefly. So John Wick Chapter Three. No, Four Chapter Four. There's so many of these movies.

29
00:06:08,840 --> 00:06:29,840
John Wick Chapter Four came out and it was really good. I mean, it's exactly what she want from a John Wick movie. The action is incredible. The stunts are amazing. Like I can't you can tell has aged as we all do with the passage of time from the first one where he's maybe not doing.

30
00:06:29,840 --> 00:06:36,840
I don't know. For some of these things. I'm a stunts or. Yeah. For some of them. I'm like somebody could have taken him down. Come on man.

31
00:06:36,840 --> 00:06:49,840
But you know, it kind of leaves it where it's like this seems like it could be the last one. But at the same time it makes so much money that it wouldn't shock me if it's not or they make spin-offs.

32
00:06:49,840 --> 00:07:00,840
So I'm definitely going to pop John Wick chapter four. If you are a John Wick fan, it's definitely worth the watch. And if you're not a John Wick fan, go back and check out our Keanu 101.

33
00:07:00,840 --> 00:07:15,840
About first John Wick. And then you'll be coming. Even if you're not a John Wick fan, I mean, you'll go into this movie and it's definitely deep in the lore at this point. And you won't know why are they chasing who were these people? Why do we care?

34
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:26,840
But it's still just, you know, fun action popcorn flick too. You want to turn your brain off a little bit. But I definitely suggest watching all the first three to know what the hell is going on.

35
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:40,840
And then another franchise that I've been getting into recently are the Creed movies. So I'm definitely, as we've mentioned before, not like an inspirational sports film fan like Miss Nicole.

36
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:51,840
So if it has a 10 about the Creed movies, but Michael Beachwarden is so fine. So twist my arm. I guess I'll give it a watch. The Creed movies are really good.

37
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:59,840
I've never seen the original Rocky movies, but I already know enough just from being a pop culture junkie of who Rocky Balboa is.

38
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:11,840
I knew how Apollo Creed dies and kind of the backstory there just from being a movie fan. But it's really good. All three of them. We watched them maybe within the past like two months. My husband and I.

39
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:30,840
And Michael Beachwarden is amazing. Tessa Thompson is really good and it's too. It pulls at your heartstrings. The one thing I will say about this new one that was a little glaring to me is that it's the first one that Silvestre Stallone is not in.

40
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:43,840
And they never provide an explanation for why he's not there. So on the back in Silvestre Stallone had like a disagreement with the movie. It get the filmmakers and didn't really like where some stuff was going.

41
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:55,840
So he's listed as I think a producer on the movie, but he said that he really didn't have anything to do with it. Like, oh, he loves the Rocky character. He loves the Creed character, but he's just stuck back.

42
00:08:55,840 --> 00:09:13,840
The first two movies, he's like he's Adonis Creed's trainer. He's really heavily involved in his life. And they're like family and shit. And then in this one, he's just not there. Yeah, I'm like, is he dead? Like he had cancer a couple movies ago.

43
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:30,840
But it made it seem like he went into remission. I don't know. It's definitely in the future a little bit from the second movie. Like Creeds and Retirement at this point, or he's about to go into retirement, which you do very young as a boxer.

44
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:36,840
The whole time they're like, you're so old man. And I'm like, fuck you. He's like 34.

45
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:46,840
But yeah, they never mentioned why Rocky's not there. But beyond that, definitely gonna pop all the Creed movies, gonna pop creep three. Michael be joined with his shirt off.

46
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:51,840
It's good stuff. Nice. Racking up those sequels like Infinity Stones.

47
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:59,840
Oh my gosh, right? I'm just I'm getting through all these. My husband's like, we should watch this movie. We should watch these. He's got good taste.

48
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:14,840
I could test right now. What about Unicorn? One of the things I watched was the first couple episodes of full swing on Netflix. Is it about swingers or golf or swingers who play golf?

49
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:26,840
It's about golf. It's about the PGA tour. The first couple episodes I've watched it just kind of goes along with the players and the tournament and follows them.

50
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:34,840
Their home life, how they prepare for tournaments and stuff like that, which me being the sports fanatic like we just said, I am enjoying it.

51
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:43,840
It's cool to see the behind the scenes of the preparation, how hard these guys are on themselves every week for each tournament.

52
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:52,840
And the second episode I think had, well, not I think I know it had the ways open in Scottsdale.

53
00:10:52,840 --> 00:11:00,840
I think they did a cover of that and all the golfers on there were saying how that tournament is their favorite tournament just because of the fans that are there and just the atmosphere.

54
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,840
Because we're all wasted and crazy.

55
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,840
The worst management. No wasted management.

56
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:14,840
They love the 16 pole. That's the crazy hole. The party on the swingers go run down and they're literally.

57
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:24,840
It's just so fun. I was there this year and I was on the 16th hole on Sunday and it's just so funny because if a player misses the green, they get booed.

58
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,840
They get very like happy Gilmore.

59
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:38,840
It really is. God, I haven't been since college and me and this girl I went, ended up getting like kicked out. She got us kicked out.

60
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:45,840
I had to help security carry the limp body out and have not been back since because I don't like golf.

61
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:50,840
I dated a professional golfer. I won't say his name. It's like a hot second in college.

62
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:55,840
But I had to pretend like I thought golf was interesting for a couple of months.

63
00:11:55,840 --> 00:12:00,840
Oh wow. Honestly, I was there for it.

64
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,840
That's really interesting. Go on. Also, I'll have the steak.

65
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:11,840
So what platforms are on Nicole? It's on Netflix.

66
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:23,840
And then I finally seen screen 6. Oh, was it good? It's really good. Actually, I am a fan of the screen franchise.

67
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:31,840
I think every movie that they produce has been good. I know sometimes when there's multiple movies of one franchise,

68
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:37,840
it becomes old and overdone at a certain point. But it was really good.

69
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:43,840
I think it's a really good twist that they do. Spoiler, I guess. I'm not going to say who.

70
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,840
That does say who it is. I won't. I won't. I promise.

71
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:56,840
But instead of the previous years, like at the originals and then screen 5 and stuff like that, there's three killers.

72
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:03,840
It's really good. The action is incredible. Janet Ortega is obviously incredible.

73
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:08,840
She's such a good. She's a really good. She plays a really good part. I would definitely pop it.

74
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:13,840
If you have a chance for like, screen movies, if you like the screen franchise, it's really good.

75
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:18,840
I need to catch up on that franchise. Is that streaming somewhere?

76
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,840
No, I went to the movie theater and paid to watch it. There you go. Nice.

77
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:27,840
You know, I've seen the first one. And for years, I thought I had seen the second one,

78
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:33,840
but then recently my friend and I watched it. And I was like, I have never seen any of this in my life.

79
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:38,840
The whole time I was like, "What? What? They're making a movie about the movie."

80
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:43,840
And she's like, "You've never seen this, have you?" No, I haven't. So apparently I need to watch them all.

81
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:49,840
Yeah, I've only seen the first one. And like, I love it. So I don't know why I've never seen the other ones.

82
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:58,840
Yeah, I give it a whirl. I mean, it was very cheesy, but I'd seen the scene where Sarah Michelle Geller dies,

83
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:03,840
spoiler from a movie from 30 years ago. With Sarah Michelle Geller is in-screen too?

84
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,840
For like a second, she's definitely not the main character.

85
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:11,840
Wasn't she on the way you did last summer? Yes, she was. And I also recently watched that with the same friend.

86
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:22,840
Oh, nice. I'm in like a scary movie rewatch. Like I watched Contagion recently, which I had watched since the before times.

87
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:28,840
Yeah, and it's still the whole time I'm like, "That happened to us. That happened in real life."

88
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:33,840
Except for Gwyneth Paltrow getting her face peeled off. That didn't happen in the life.

89
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,840
I'm gonna probably do. It's part of her beauty and health.

90
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,840
Yeah, exactly. So it's like, probably the other got a new one.

91
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:48,840
Every morning, I do my energy shifting, peeling of my face, and then I sew my-

92
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:49,840
I love it with my-

93
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:50,840
I love it with my-

94
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:51,840
I love it with my-

95
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:52,840
I love it with my-

96
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:53,840
I love it with my-

97
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:54,840
I love it with my-

98
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:55,840
I love it with my-

99
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,840
Oh my god. Yeah, I need to get on that Nicole.

100
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:00,840
What else? What else, Nicole?

101
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,840
The other thing I've been watching is on peacock. It's called Killer Cases.

102
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:11,840
And it's a show about just recaps of real crime that's happened.

103
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,840
People dying. They go-

104
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:19,840
They show real footage from the crime scene. They show real footage from the court scenes of-

105
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:20,840
Bodies to their-

106
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:21,840
Are there dead bodies?

107
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:26,840
I don't think they show bodies, but they show blood splatter and stuff.

108
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:31,840
But you want to see bodies watch homicide for the holidays and peacock?

109
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:33,840
Yeah, that's the other one you talked about.

110
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:34,840
That one's really good.

111
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:35,840
We were like, "Bodies!"

112
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:36,840
Yeah!

113
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:45,840
But Killer Cases is pretty good. I like the true crime stuff and I've seen the real footage

114
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:47,840
and stuff. I know it's kind of gross, but-

115
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:48,840
No, I think it's sick.

116
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:53,840
Yeah, it makes the show more interesting when you can actually see the stuff firsthand, I guess.

117
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:59,840
But if you like true crime, I would pop it. I was kind of hesitant because there's so much true crime stuff out there nowadays.

118
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:00,840
It's like, what do I watch?

119
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:01,840
And what's going to be good?

120
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:02,840
It's all repetitive.

121
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:03,840
That was pretty good.

122
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:04,840
Sorry, I'd pop that one.

123
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:05,840
Nice.

124
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:06,840
Yeah, that's a good little-

125
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:07,840
Is there one thing I know?

126
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:14,840
It's that Nicole likes true crime and sports and Shana likes bodies.

127
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,840
I like looking at dead bodies.

128
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,840
I like bodies in every sense of the word.

129
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:27,840
I like looking at dead bodies and then I like watching bodies like do it.

130
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:32,840
I just like bodies.

131
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:33,840
Oh, goodness.

132
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,840
I love it.

133
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,840
I'll watch it if people have sex or if they die.

134
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:39,840
Rather wise I'm out.

135
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:40,840
I'm out.

136
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:41,840
Obviously.

137
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:42,840
Or have sex till they die.

138
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:47,840
That's going to be a new reality show.

139
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,840
Who can survive?

140
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,840
Wasn't it like so long to the ER?

141
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,840
Oh, yeah, that is a show.

142
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,840
I think that's people like sticking things where they're not supposed to be stuck though.

143
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,840
Benny slipping in the shower.

144
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:03,840
You know what?

145
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaking of sex toys for like two seconds.

146
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:09,840
I promise it's related to pop culture.

147
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:10,840
I swear to God.

148
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:16,840
Okay, so in Only Murders in the Building, my recent A-Binder is because of the bassoon cleaner.

149
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:22,840
And I was wondering if anybody's watching this show and they played the bassoon, do you think

150
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,840
they figured it out just immediately?

151
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:30,840
Because they were going through Tim Kono's like sex toys in maybe the second or third episode.

152
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:34,840
And they pulled that out and they were like, what the hell is this?

153
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:35,840
True.

154
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,840
And I wonder if any bassoonist watching it was like, oh, Jan did it.

155
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:39,840
You know there had to be.

156
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,840
You know someone was like, oh yeah.

157
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:42,840
Yeah, it's her.

158
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:43,840
Oh yeah.

159
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:44,840
Oh yeah.

160
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:45,840
Oh yeah.

161
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:46,840
Oh that is.

162
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:48,840
It makes you wonder if like one of the writers was a bassoonist.

163
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:53,840
Third thing to bring into the show.

164
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:55,840
And it had to be absurd instrument.

165
00:17:55,840 --> 00:18:01,440
Otherwise, if it was just like a cleaning tool that a lot of people would know, it would probably

166
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,840
give it away a lot sooner.

167
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:04,840
So I don't know.

168
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:10,840
If any listeners played the bassoon and you figured out that Jan was the killer right away, please

169
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:11,840
let us know.

170
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,840
Yeah, it's interesting.

171
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,840
All right, I checked out a couple things.

172
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,840
I was sick last week as you guys know.

173
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:24,840
And so I decided to let me backtrack for a second.

174
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,840
So in our Samuel Jackson 101, we watched Pulp Fiction, right?

175
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:33,840
And that was the first time I had watched a Quentin Tarantino film.

176
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:34,840
Oh wow.

177
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:35,840
Start by me.

178
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:36,840
Okay.

179
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:41,840
And I'd seen a couple TV episodes he'd done, but I never watched one of his movies.

180
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:45,840
And as you may remember, I did not love Pulp Fiction.

181
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:47,840
There's not much am.

182
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:55,840
And so I was like, I have to watch another Quentin Tarantino movie to decide if I didn't like Pulp Fiction,

183
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,840
or if I don't like Quentin Tarantino.

184
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:04,840
So on one of my sick days, I watched Reservoir Dogs because it's the shortest I think of all of his movies.

185
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:05,840
Yeah.

186
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:11,840
And I will say I definitively realized that I don't like Quentin Tarantino.

187
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:12,840
Yeah.

188
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:13,840
Okay.

189
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:14,840
Okay.

190
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,840
I'll say I like Reservoir Dogs more than Pulp Fiction.

191
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,840
I think that's partially because it was about half as long.

192
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:24,840
And it also has like one plot.

193
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:31,840
Like the, you know, heist gone wrong is the plot of the whole movie.

194
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:32,840
Yeah.

195
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,840
And I will say that I really like Tim Roth.

196
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,840
I thought he did a really good job in that movie.

197
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:51,840
But I do not love Tarantino's insistence on creating unlikeable characters that I am forced to sit and watch for an extended period of time.

198
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:57,840
Like just the racism and the misogyny and the like beating me over the head with it.

199
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,840
Like I was just like, I don't care about any of these people.

200
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:01,840
Like I want them all to die.

201
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:03,840
So that's really not for me.

202
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:08,840
And then also, you know, he just, it's talking.

203
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:09,840
It's laying on the floor bleeding out.

204
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,840
It's a lot of talking for an hour.

205
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,840
And I am going to pitch a Quentin Tarantino movie to you.

206
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:16,840
Okay.

207
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,840
You should watch Django Unchained.

208
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:20,840
Django Unchained.

209
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:21,840
Okay.

210
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:22,840
Yes.

211
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:30,840
So it's Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Samuel L. Jackson is in it because it's a Quentin Tarantino movie.

212
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,840
And Carrie Washington.

213
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,840
And Django is a freed slave.

214
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:46,840
And him and Christoph Waltz set out to try to save Django's wife, who is being held in slavery by Leonardo Caprio's character.

215
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:51,840
And if you want to root for somebody, you're going to root for Django.

216
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:52,840
Okay.

217
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:53,840
I mean, and Christoph Waltz.

218
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:59,840
He's like the opposite of what he is in Inglourious Basterds, which is a Nazi.

219
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,840
And in this part, it's like Inglourious Basterds.

220
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:03,840
Yeah.

221
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:04,840
So I'm somewhat familiar.

222
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:05,840
That's his scouts.

223
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:10,840
But yeah, Django Unchained, I mean, it is hyper violent because it is a Quentin Tarantino movie.

224
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:16,840
But you actually get to root for the main character because you root for him and his wife reuniting.

225
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:21,840
And, you know, they're in so in love and Christoph Waltz is such a great guy helping them out.

226
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,840
And you want Leonardo Caprio to just fucking eat it.

227
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:26,840
But I know.

228
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:27,840
I know.

229
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:29,840
You're going to have to watch that one and then report back to me.

230
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:30,840
Okay.

231
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:31,840
All right.

232
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:32,840
I'll have to give it a chance.

233
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:33,840
I was going to try Kill Bill.

234
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:34,840
Isn't that Quentin Tarantino?

235
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:35,840
Ooh, yeah.

236
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:36,840
Kill Bill is good too.

237
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,840
I like the Kill Bill movies.

238
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:44,840
I mean, again, hyper violent, hyper sexual, like bad words galore.

239
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:45,840
Yeah.

240
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,840
But it's a kick ass woman.

241
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:53,840
See, yeah, if the plot's good and the action's good, like I'm down for all of that.

242
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:54,840
I just so far.

243
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:55,840
I'm going to root for her.

244
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:56,840
Yeah.

245
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:57,840
I can see that.

246
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:58,840
Yeah.

247
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:00,840
So, Jingle and Change and Kill Bill, I will.

248
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:01,840
Okay.

249
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,840
But I have to report back once you have a more--

250
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,840
You know, once you have a few spare hours, anyway.

251
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:07,840
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

252
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:14,840
The other things that I checked out this week, there's a series on Netflix called Unstable

253
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:19,840
that is Rob Lowe and his son, John Owen Lowe.

254
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,840
And it was actually created by his son.

255
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:27,840
And it's about Rob Lowe plays kind of like an Elon Musk.

256
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:34,000
If Elon Musk was a good guy, kind of role where he's, you know, using his big brain to try

257
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,400
to make the world more green.

258
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,640
But he has just lost his wife.

259
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,240
And she was kind of the stable one in the marriage.

260
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:44,480
She's the one that kept him grounded.

261
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,920
And so now he's kind of losing his mind.

262
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,440
And his son and him have always fought it.

263
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,640
And his son comes to work for him to try to kind of help him.

264
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:59,080
And I think I'm about six episodes in to the season.

265
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:03,000
And I will say if you like Rob Lowe, then you'll probably like the series.

266
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,680
If you don't like Rob Lowe, then you won't, because he's front and center.

267
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,080
But I like it.

268
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:10,680
I will pop it.

269
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:16,760
I will say I like it probably the most out of like new series that I have watched.

270
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:21,640
And I love that I kind of binge it.

271
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,640
And it's kind of nice background.

272
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,240
Like I got to work from home or I got to do the dishes or I got to do, I'm eating dinner

273
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,440
and I kind of just want something on.

274
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,480
It's not like must see TV.

275
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:36,280
But I do think it's entertaining enough that it's worth checking out.

276
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:40,120
I think Rob Lowe seems like, I don't know, I think I've seen him and I've liked him in

277
00:23:40,120 --> 00:23:41,120
the past.

278
00:23:41,120 --> 00:23:43,120
I mean, I love him in parks and rec.

279
00:23:43,120 --> 00:23:44,120
Me too.

280
00:23:44,120 --> 00:23:49,400
And he's, yeah, I mean, he's kind of a similar Chris Trigger-esque in a lot of ways.

281
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:50,400
So.

282
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:56,200
And then the thing that I got to pop all the way is the Super Mario Brothers movie.

283
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:57,200
Oh, good.

284
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:58,960
It was so good.

285
00:23:58,960 --> 00:23:59,960
It was really good.

286
00:23:59,960 --> 00:24:07,560
Like, unironically, you know, as an adult, like obviously I went with my kids and especially

287
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,840
my son, because he's obsessed with all things Mario.

288
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:17,080
But even if I didn't have kids, it would have been enjoyable to watch.

289
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:25,040
And my husband actually realized after it ended that it was written and directed by Aaron

290
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:31,080
Horvath, who is the creator and writer of Teen Titans Go.

291
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:36,760
Which makes a lot of sense because that is like my favorite animated anything that my,

292
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:42,080
it's like a toss up between that and Bluey, but really like Teen Titans Go has moments where

293
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,800
my kids are not paying attention and I'm sitting down and I'm watching it.

294
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:48,920
So it's got humor for adults for sure.

295
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:50,600
It's a perfect blend of nostalgia.

296
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:54,200
They throw in like stuff that you forget about like the Donkey Kong rap and all this kind

297
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:55,720
of stuff.

298
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,360
And the cast, the cast is really great.

299
00:24:58,360 --> 00:24:59,360
Chris Pratt.

300
00:24:59,360 --> 00:25:01,360
He does a good job.

301
00:25:01,360 --> 00:25:02,360
Yeah.

302
00:25:02,360 --> 00:25:05,760
I mean, they opted to go this like, you know, Brooklyn route.

303
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:09,480
So he's not doing kind of this Italian accent.

304
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,400
But Charles Martinette is that his name?

305
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,880
The guy who played the original Mario voice?

306
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,040
I want to say it's Charles Martinette.

307
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:23,360
He is, he plays the voice of Mario's dad in the movie.

308
00:25:23,360 --> 00:25:27,280
So he's there and it's just, it's so good.

309
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:33,160
They established like a whole full plot out of a game that really doesn't have a plot.

310
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:34,160
And it was really cute.

311
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:35,440
Like I would go see it again.

312
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:36,440
It was that cute.

313
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:37,440
I was like, we go again?

314
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:38,440
I'm like, yeah.

315
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:39,440
Like, yes, I'm invested.

316
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,960
I'm so excited to see it.

317
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:43,880
I'm so glad that it's good.

318
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:44,880
Yeah.

319
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:45,880
It was really good.

320
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:46,880
And critics are stupid.

321
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,000
They gave it like a 48% or something on Rotten Tomatoes.

322
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,880
And I was like, what do you want?

323
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:52,880
It's a cartoon.

324
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:53,880
Yeah.

325
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:54,880
It's a Mario movie.

326
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:55,880
Like, I'm not a guy.

327
00:25:55,880 --> 00:26:00,080
Not everything has to be like, Coco, you know, and have like, you know, sometimes you

328
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:01,080
make you weep at the end.

329
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:02,600
Sometimes I don't want to cry.

330
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,400
Sometimes you can just giggle through mushroom kingdom.

331
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:06,400
Yeah.

332
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:07,880
That's all I want to do.

333
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:08,880
It was good.

334
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:09,880
Definitely.

335
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:10,880
Yeah.

336
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:15,880
Pop the Mario movie.

337
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:16,880
All right.

338
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:23,800
So, with it being my swan song, I decided if I could do anything on this episode, it would

339
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:33,600
be to force you guys to watch my favorite thing in the whole world, which is the X-Files.

340
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:39,040
So we binged all 11 seasons at X-Files in February.

341
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:40,680
In both movies.

342
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,200
In one week.

343
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:47,680
No, I had you guys watch the pilot very first episode in hopes that per chance it might

344
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:52,120
plant a seed that you may later watch.

345
00:26:52,120 --> 00:26:55,520
I'll just, I'll get you a list later of episodes to watch.

346
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,960
You don't need to watch all 11 seasons.

347
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:03,560
But I wanted to know, I have so many questions for you guys as first time viewers.

348
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:07,800
So, allow me to like step and put on my interviewer hat.

349
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,440
What were your initial impressions of the X-Files?

350
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:15,680
Now, for anyone who may be unfamiliar, okay, the X-Files stars David DeCovny and Jillian

351
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:16,680
Anderson.

352
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,800
It premiered on Fox September 10th, 1993.

353
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:25,640
So I was six years old when this came out 30 years ago now.

354
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:29,040
Nicole was just a twinkle in someone's eye.

355
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:35,320
Not even thought it was just a bad one.

356
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:36,320
Not even a fetus.

357
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,320
A toddler.

358
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:44,240
So, we were all young or non-existent when it premiered.

359
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:49,320
But I do have early memories of being, I don't think I watched it when I was six, but I do

360
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,440
think I was seven or eight years old.

361
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:55,520
And I have these memories of sitting on the couch with my brother and kind of watching

362
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,640
it like this.

363
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:05,480
But very early on in my life, it became this like formative experience for me so much so I

364
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,520
named my son after the show.

365
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,960
And it's actually the show is actually the reason my husband and I met.

366
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:18,640
He sent me a message on my space because I had the X-Files as my favorite show and it was

367
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:19,880
his favorite show too.

368
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:21,720
So he sent me a message.

369
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:26,680
So we kind of owe I owe the X-Files like my life really.

370
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:31,000
So no pressure on you if you hated it, you can absolutely say so.

371
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:32,000
No, we can't.

372
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,360
But I want to know, I literally will not judge you.

373
00:28:35,360 --> 00:28:39,040
But I want to know, I just want to know what were your initial impressions, initial thoughts

374
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:43,000
watching the X-Files for the first time?

375
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:49,040
I truly deeply, I'm not just saying this because I love you, I really enjoyed it.

376
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,560
That was the first ever episode of the X-Files that I've seen.

377
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:59,720
My mom had some CD growing up, I want to say it was called like pure moods or something.

378
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:04,000
And for some reason the X-Files theme song was on it.

379
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,720
And so I always thought this is the theme song kind of slapped but that's like all I knew

380
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,240
about it.

381
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:10,480
And I really enjoyed it.

382
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:15,240
I mean from the first time that David DeCovny shows up on screen, I texted you guys in

383
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,760
the group chat like, oh, I get it.

384
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:23,720
I've always had he was a good looking guy but I get it.

385
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:27,800
Julian Anderson, I mean in the beginning she seems a little cookie cutter but I think she's

386
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:33,120
supposed to because she's kind of the straight lace like, oh, I'm doing this by the books and

387
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:39,200
I don't believe in this mumbo jumbo but then I'm sure as the show goes on she's gonna loosen

388
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:40,200
up.

389
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:41,280
But I really enjoyed it.

390
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,640
I think I might give it a try.

391
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:48,520
The only thing holding me back is that it's freaking 11 seasons long.

392
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,520
That's one of the reasons I didn't get ever get into super natural.

393
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,880
It's just because I feel like I missed the train.

394
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:55,960
And now like no one has time for that.

395
00:29:55,960 --> 00:30:02,600
I'm not telling you to sit down and watch super natural, lost or I don't know or the X-Files

396
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:03,600
like.

397
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:04,600
Yeah, it is.

398
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,360
But I did really like it.

399
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:07,360
Nice.

400
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:08,360
I really enjoyed it too.

401
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:13,040
It's right up my alley with super natural and crime.

402
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:14,360
I love ghost adventures.

403
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,400
I know that's not what we're talking about but.

404
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,200
Dude, I love ghost adventures.

405
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:19,200
I love ghost adventures.

406
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:20,920
I love true crime.

407
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:21,920
We know that.

408
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,080
So the two put together.

409
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:28,520
I honestly was so oblivious to what the title the X-Files met.

410
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:29,520
I never put it together.

411
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,320
That was like extra to much real.

412
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:35,960
But yeah, I didn't put two and two together and also because I probably put it off to

413
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:42,120
you because one didn't really know about it until you Haley introduced us to it and

414
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,560
two probably because of how old it is.

415
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:51,360
But watching it, I don't think I would have thought it was made in 93 or put out in 93 because

416
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,920
I don't, it doesn't look that old to me.

417
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:58,040
Like the scenes look like it could be over 2000s even.

418
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:05,600
Definitely not modern day type shooting but the acting, the way they put it together is

419
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:06,600
really good.

420
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,840
I really, really enjoyed it and I agree.

421
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,120
I think I'm going to continue to watch it to be honest with you.

422
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,800
At least get through season one and see what happens.

423
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:19,880
But I think I think you might have just introduced me to a new show in the week.

424
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:20,880
Yay.

425
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:27,520
I will say out of, you know, a lot of shows that I have watched of which there are many, I

426
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,920
feel like the X-Files has a really strong pilot.

427
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,360
Like right out the gate.

428
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:33,360
It really did.

429
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:34,360
I was surprised.

430
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:35,360
Yeah.

431
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:42,120
If you're introduced to the dynamic, you're hooked into the story, like the mystery of

432
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:43,120
it all.

433
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:48,760
It's very tight, like the format of the episode is really tight.

434
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,080
I wish I could say that that holds up for 11 seasons.

435
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:52,680
It definitely does not.

436
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,920
But, you know, like Shawnee you mentioned supernatural.

437
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,640
The X-Files really is the blueprint for all these other shows.

438
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:07,840
If you take any other show where you partner up a guy like Castle, Bones, Lucifer, yeah,

439
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:16,120
Lucifer, like you take any fringe, fringe is literally like X-Files rip off, side story.

440
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:21,320
But yeah, you take any of that stuff and it's really, it's based on the X-Files so much

441
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,120
so that supernatural has an X-Files themed episode.

442
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,280
Bones has an X-Files themed episode.

443
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:30,080
Like they pay homage to the story.

444
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:36,800
So it is iconic in that way, I think, where like, you know, even just seeing one episode,

445
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,120
it is worth it.

446
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:44,560
And I'm not joking when I say I could tell you what episodes to watch.

447
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,120
But also the movie.

448
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:50,480
If I would say if there's like one other thing that you ever watched, the X-Files related,

449
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:54,840
a movie that came out in 1997 called Fight the Future.

450
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:56,880
And in 7 or 98.

451
00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:01,040
And it takes place between, I think, season 6 and season 7.

452
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:02,040
And all you can do is.

453
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:03,880
There's two movies.

454
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:05,040
There's two movies, yeah.

455
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:09,640
So one takes place mid show, one takes place after the series ended after season 9.

456
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:10,640
Got it.

457
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:11,640
Okay.

458
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:17,560
And if you ask me as a diehard, that second movie, to me, is kind of where the series ends.

459
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:22,960
The revival seasons, seasons 10 and 11 were a huge disappointment.

460
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,360
Like they go back and they rewrite a lot of the plot.

461
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:27,360
Yeah.

462
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:32,360
It's just really not, I don't think it does any favors to the original story.

463
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:33,360
I hate that.

464
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:34,360
Yeah.

465
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:39,120
So I will watch some of those revival episodes, but I watched them almost like their fanfiction,

466
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:40,920
like this like side story that has no real reason.

467
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:42,440
This is a canon, it's fun.

468
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:43,920
Yeah, it's not canon.

469
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:49,080
But yeah, it's season, season 6 of the X-Files is my all time favorite season.

470
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:53,120
It has the most like bangers one after the other.

471
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:58,720
So for anybody, you guys included, who might watch it, there's basically two different types

472
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:00,480
of episodes.

473
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:05,840
There's one that are called mythology episodes and those are the ones that deal with what

474
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:09,800
you guys were introduced to, which is anything heavy to do with aliens.

475
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:14,200
And I do like, the mythology gets real slippery later on in the series and we're like, what

476
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:15,960
that F is going on.

477
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:21,840
But I do like that it's not just aliens want to kidnap you to probe you for no reason.

478
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:27,960
There is a bigger goal or end game that's going on there.

479
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:31,520
So those are all the mythology stories and those ones you kind of have to like watch in

480
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,160
order because otherwise you're confused.

481
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:39,000
But then there's episodes called Monster of the Week episodes, which are just one off.

482
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:40,000
But it has to.

483
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,280
Yeah, they're just one off like, you know, you don't have to know anything about the show

484
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,960
really to tune in and enjoy them.

485
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:51,920
And those are the ones that I tend to recommend to people like, hey, just watch this one episode

486
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:55,040
or watch a few of these.

487
00:34:55,040 --> 00:35:01,280
And they're really, really funny and some are really scary, not to be like a Cabernet

488
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:02,280
X-Files trivia.

489
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:12,280
But there is this episode called Home that for I think even still it is banned on network

490
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:13,280
TV.

491
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:17,800
So it aired thinking that yesterday, there is an episode of X-Files that's supposed to

492
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:22,120
be so fucking scary that like, it's like banned or something.

493
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:23,120
Yeah.

494
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:26,000
So it aired originally with a disclaimer.

495
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,840
And then after it aired that first time, they took it off it.

496
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:30,320
You couldn't watch it in reruns.

497
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:32,480
You could only watch it on like DVDs.

498
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:37,040
And oddly enough, I think it's the first episode I remember watching like in my youth.

499
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:38,040
That's it.

500
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:41,600
It is the first one that stands out in my head is like, I remember that show.

501
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:45,920
And a lot of times with people with the X-Files, like people who haven't seen it, if you've

502
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:49,200
ever seen the X-Files, they'll be like, no, but I saw this one episode and it was so

503
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:53,200
weft up and it's always home, always.

504
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,400
So I don't want to tell you too much about it because I don't want to give anything away.

505
00:35:56,400 --> 00:36:00,520
But if you like, don't really like messed up stories that you're never going to get out of

506
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:01,520
your head.

507
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:12,680
The only thing that would bother me about this show is if I watch it and for 11 seasons,

508
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:24,760
it's like, no, I still don't think aliens exist.

509
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:28,320
I'm holding what in my hands and she's like, no, I don't.

510
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,320
You know, I hope that at some point, she's like, yes, I believe.

511
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,320
Because if it goes on for too long, I'm going to be like, bitch, come on.

512
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:33,320
I don't think you can see.

513
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,160
I don't think you can see my notes.

514
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:37,880
I'm trying to see if I could get this.

515
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:43,960
But this gribly line right here says new creative way is to not see the truth.

516
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:45,760
Oh my god.

517
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:52,160
That is an unfortunate plot in the X-Files is they find new and creative ways like, okay,

518
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:53,160
slight spoilers.

519
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:56,880
I got to give you slight spoilers because it's just you get in the movie, fight the future

520
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,880
that you are going to go watch because it's amazing.

521
00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:04,880
The end of the movie, Scollie's on a, like an f-ing, like a ship.

522
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:06,960
She's on a UFO, okay?

523
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:08,920
She's on it.

524
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,040
But she's incapacitated.

525
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:12,560
She's passed out.

526
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,040
So Mulder like rescues her.

527
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:23,400
She opens her eyes for all of like two seconds to see the UFO.

528
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,800
But then passes out and has no memory of it.

529
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:26,800
No.

530
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:27,800
No.

531
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,440
I think it gives episode one.

532
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:31,440
I was like aliens.

533
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:32,440
It's aliens.

534
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,440
Like, come on, girl.

535
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:35,440
Yeah.

536
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:36,440
No, not a ship.

537
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:37,440
No, not a ship.

538
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:38,440
No.

539
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:42,120
There has to be a scientific explanation for this for like eight seasons.

540
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,600
But it does start to, okay.

541
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:45,600
Yeah.

542
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:50,440
I mean, that reminds me of Lucifer too where he keeps being like, no, I'm literally the devil.

543
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,000
And she's like, no, no, you're not.

544
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:53,640
He's like, no, I really am.

545
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:55,040
Oh, you.

546
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,440
And then literally, like, you know, you don't have to buy yourself.

547
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:58,440
Yeah.

548
00:37:58,440 --> 00:37:59,440
I don't think you are.

549
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,760
He's like, no, I'm just, it's true though.

550
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,840
And then finally, you know, she gets to the point where she's like, oh, you're the fucking

551
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:05,840
devil.

552
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:07,560
And he's like, yeah, yeah.

553
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:13,040
So it's, it's, it's very much like, okay, what was your favorite part of the episode of

554
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:14,040
the pilot?

555
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:18,440
Because I have a very clear favorite part, but I'm curious to know what yours is.

556
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:22,520
My favorite part is when she's looking in the mirror and she finds the little spots on

557
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:28,120
her back and freaks out and like runs to his room.

558
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:32,400
And it makes sense for her to be in her underwear in that moment because I, I hate that where

559
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:37,600
it's just like, oh, the chick's in her underwear for some of your chewed as dumb reason.

560
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:39,360
But she had to show him like this stuff.

561
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,600
I mean, I guess she could have just left it her shirt anyway.

562
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:43,600
Yeah.

563
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:49,240
And then you see like, he's a little distracted by her like body for like a split second.

564
00:38:49,240 --> 00:38:51,880
And then he focuses and then starts to laugh at her.

565
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:55,440
And it's like, and it's like, candle lit.

566
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:56,440
Yeah.

567
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:57,440
Yeah.

568
00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:59,440
I was like, are they going to kiss in the, there's so many points this episode.

569
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,880
I was like, are they going to kiss in the first episode?

570
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,920
Like that would be ridiculous because I did kind of read ahead.

571
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:10,920
And I think they don't kiss for like many seasons and some of them are under different

572
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:14,480
situations where it's like, that this year's their first real kiss.

573
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:15,480
Yeah.

574
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:16,480
I suppose so.

575
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:17,480
Oh, dude.

576
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:18,480
Anytime anyone's like, it's a slow burn.

577
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:20,280
Like, I can't wait for my ship to get together.

578
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:21,280
I'm like, shut up.

579
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:27,520
Because unless it's Olivia Benson and Elliot Stable, no ship had a longer run than motor

580
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:28,520
and skull.

581
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:29,520
Like for real.

582
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:30,520
Six seasons for the kiss.

583
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:31,520
Yeah.

584
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:32,520
Fuck man.

585
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,520
And they don't even get together after that.

586
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,120
It's a New Year's kiss.

587
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:37,840
I watch that on YouTube.

588
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:42,680
My husband walked in and I'm like on YouTube watching like, scull, I gotta watch it like

589
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:46,080
a skull, yeah, like skullly and moldy like kiss compilations.

590
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:49,040
That's a good use of your time.

591
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:55,040
I watch so many like, buffy and spike kiss compilations that it's just like, God bless

592
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:56,040
YouTube.

593
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:57,040
I don't know.

594
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:58,040
I know.

595
00:39:58,040 --> 00:39:59,040
I'm like, cool.

596
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:04,480
It's when they go to the cemetery and they're pulling out the coffin casket from the ground.

597
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:07,320
Oh, no, I don't.

598
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:11,120
And the autopsy guy comes and he's like, what are you doing?

599
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,120
Blah, blah, blah.

600
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:14,520
And the daughter just goes out the car.

601
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,520
She said, we have to go home.

602
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:18,520
Dad, we have to go home.

603
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:22,120
I was like, I'm like, girl, why are you like so pressed?

604
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:23,520
Like, why are you screaming?

605
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:24,520
Why are you screaming?

606
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:25,520
Just to go home.

607
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:26,520
Just to make sure you stand there.

608
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,640
Just to make sure you stand there.

609
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:31,640
Yeah, so that part right there is my favorite part.

610
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:32,640
Just be comfortable.

611
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,520
I thought you were going to say when they dropped the coffin.

612
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:36,520
I don't know.

613
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,440
It was her getting out of the car being so dramatic.

614
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,840
I'm like, she deserves an obstacle for that.

615
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:42,840
Oh my gosh.

616
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:43,840
That's a love it.

617
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:44,840
That was her big break.

618
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:46,840
She's like, I got a big accident.

619
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:47,840
That was pretty good.

620
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:51,640
I guess it makes sense later because she's going through shit, but yeah.

621
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:52,640
Yeah.

622
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:53,640
It's so fun.

623
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:54,640
That's awesome.

624
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,960
We got to go.

625
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,240
He's like, I'm literally at work.

626
00:41:00,240 --> 00:41:01,240
Why aren't you?

627
00:41:01,240 --> 00:41:02,760
Get back in the car.

628
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:03,760
Yeah.

629
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:04,760
Oh my gosh.

630
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:06,280
That's awesome.

631
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:13,480
My favorite part is when they are in the rain and molder, I think it's when he first

632
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:19,800
makes the connection to Billy Miles and he starts explaining that the woods is calling

633
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:23,040
them and that there's some light and all this.

634
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:31,040
But the reason it's my favorite part is because Scully finds herself joining in on the theory

635
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:34,920
and the mystical nature of it all.

636
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:41,560
And then they both are laughing at how ridiculous they sound.

637
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:47,560
But I think, and I don't care what Chris Carter thinks, he's a creator of the show.

638
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,040
I don't care anything.

639
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:50,040
I'm the real.

640
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,600
I think.

641
00:41:52,600 --> 00:42:01,240
I think that moment is when molder and Scully first fall for each other because they think

642
00:42:01,240 --> 00:42:03,920
they have the tingles and their pants for each other.

643
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:04,920
Yeah.

644
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:05,920
Okay.

645
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:07,920
I was going to say hard, but what about you?

646
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:08,920
Yeah.

647
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:09,920
[laughter]

648
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:10,920
Yeah.

649
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:11,920
It's hard whenever.

650
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:21,000
The difference between me and Haley summed up literally right there.

651
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:25,000
But the tingles and her tingles at the same time.

652
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:26,000
Fair, fair.

653
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:27,000
Oh, yeah.

654
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:28,000
Oh, yeah.

655
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:33,600
But I just think he saw in her someone who was willing to take him seriously even if it's

656
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:38,480
just for a second and go down that path with him and nobody ever took him seriously.

657
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:45,400
And she saw in him someone who was open to this world of possibility that her whole life

658
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:49,320
had been so closed off because she so, you know, I only believe in science.

659
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:52,760
And so he represents this adventure.

660
00:42:52,760 --> 00:43:00,800
And I text you guys this, but it's nostalgic for me to watch it, but also what's the right

661
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:01,800
word?

662
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:06,320
Kind of heart-wrenching because that scene in the motel where he's telling her about his

663
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:07,320
sister's abduction.

664
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:08,320
Oh, yeah.

665
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:10,600
And she's on the bed and he's on the floor.

666
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:14,000
That scene is played again in the finale.

667
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:15,240
And they like flip-bat.

668
00:43:15,240 --> 00:43:19,840
Now, well, she's on the bed.

669
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:24,040
He's on the floor, but this time they're talking about he's basically saying like what was

670
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:25,560
this all for?

671
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:32,640
And she's saying all those years ago, what I saw in you, it made me follow you and I would

672
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:34,480
do it all over again.

673
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:37,960
And then he climbs in the bed and then they snuggle.

674
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:38,960
Oh, snuggle.

675
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:44,280
But it's so nice because it like calls for a circle because like here they are.

676
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:46,840
And then here they end up in it so sweet.

677
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:56,880
And it's just, I mean, I could go on and on, but like it is to me with all of its flaws, it's

678
00:43:56,880 --> 00:44:01,560
still like the greatest TV story ever told.

679
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:03,320
Well, it's my favorite.

680
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:05,320
Well, I think you found two new fans.

681
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:07,600
Are you created two new fans here?

682
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:08,600
Awesome.

683
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:13,280
Well, that's, that was my plan was to just rope you guys into a thing that I like and then

684
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:16,640
that's going to force you to continue to talk to me because you'll text me questions and

685
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:19,320
be like, wait a second, what is going on?

686
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:20,880
That was actually really wise.

687
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:21,880
I like that.

688
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:22,880
I like that.

689
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:23,880
It's what I do.

690
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:25,880
I manipulate my friends, meant to be my friends.

691
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:30,120
They're going to stay my friend because I'm going to answer your questions about the

692
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:31,120
thing.

693
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:32,120
Yeah.

694
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:33,120
All right.

695
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:34,120
I got a day ever.

696
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:36,120
Wait, wait, wait, I have a question.

697
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:37,120
Okay, go.

698
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:41,160
Do they ever do it?

699
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:43,160
Not on camera.

700
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:44,160
What?

701
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:49,000
I mean, I guess is in the heavily implied.

702
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:50,720
Here's why it's significant.

703
00:44:50,720 --> 00:44:56,940
Season seven, episode 17, it's called All Things and the reason I'm telling you is because

704
00:44:56,940 --> 00:45:01,640
a lot of fans on our initial viewing, we like, it's like a blink and you miss it kind

705
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:02,720
of thing.

706
00:45:02,720 --> 00:45:05,360
But that episode was written and directed by Jillian Anderson.

707
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:06,360
Yeah.

708
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:11,600
It is the episode where they hook up.

709
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:16,720
And then again in the revival, revival series again.

710
00:45:16,720 --> 00:45:18,720
But she's seven seasons.

711
00:45:18,720 --> 00:45:20,120
I mean, that's like Lucifer.

712
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:21,120
Yeah.

713
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:22,440
It's a slow burn, too, for real.

714
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:24,840
At least Lucifer gave you like a proper like sexy meal.

715
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:25,840
Yeah, they did.

716
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:26,840
That was good.

717
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:28,840
I'm going to go watch that after this.

718
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:29,840
Shit.

719
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:30,840
It's foul.

720
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:34,160
You just get like a camera kind of pans and you're like, wait, did I just wait?

721
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:35,160
Are they?

722
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:36,160
Are they?

723
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:37,160
Wait, wait, it's like a...

724
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:44,640
Pause, pause, oh goodness.

725
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:45,920
I freaking love you guys.

726
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:47,960
Thank you for letting me do this with you.

727
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:50,760
It's been a lot of fun and I'm going to miss it.

728
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:52,680
Thank you for doing it with us.

729
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:57,880
I mean, it's been such an amazing journey with you here and it's going to, you know, not

730
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:04,080
feel the same without you, but you, you know, you're a pop culture junkie.

731
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:05,280
You're not, you're not going anywhere.

732
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:06,280
You're still a junkie.

733
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:07,280
I have a teacher.

734
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:10,240
Yeah, you're still one of us.

735
00:46:10,240 --> 00:46:15,880
Yeah, you can as a guest and you like to do so much of yesterday doing.

736
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:16,880
Yeah.

737
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:17,880
And mom.

738
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:19,360
I'm kind of changed it for the world.

739
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:24,320
You're an incredible host and friend and person.

740
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:25,820
Yeah.

744
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:31,160
I'm going to try.

745
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:32,160
I learned from the best.

746
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:33,680
As a strong woman in my life.

747
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:35,680
