Speaker 1Okay, now we want to Now we want to bring it, bring it because.
Speaker 4Now now we mute myself and work on it.
Speaker 1Now, Now, what you've done is that you've provided an impossible standard for Jeff to live up to, and we all know that he doesn't have it in them.
Speaker 3Nothing is impossible if you try hard and raise your voice.
As we all know, the true level of authority comes from your diaphragm.
Isn't that right?
And also, John, I want to wish you specifically a very happy I mean.
Speaker 1I'm gonna be real, that's more you guys thing.
Speaker 3But okay, this from what I've told, from what I've learned from.
Speaker 1Irish American Heritage Month or so no one, no one asked me, but none of us.
Speaker 3I understand being look as someone who is oft confused as an irishman, But really, when I have more hair, you, Tim, what the fuck do you know?
Speaker 4Fucking white people was trying to be exotic?
Just shut up, relaxed.
Speaker 3Irish doesn't feel exotic to me.
Number one.
Number two, it's not a stretch for how I present.
You know, I I look Irish sometimes it's not present.
Was a pinball fan and nothing else?
Cool?
Well, this is going well.
I I think.
Speaker 1What do you mean what I mean look Irish?
Yeah?
Speaker 3I really want to say I've been I've been looks an entire nation for by no fault of my own, just by living my life and living where I live in America.
You know, everyone's like, hey, hey, you happy Saint Patrick's Day.
And I'm like, why me specifically, and they go, well, you got like a red beard and you kind of look a little like, you know, a stereotypically Irish.
And I'm like, look, I can't help you.
I don't know what to say to that.
Absolutely in the in the traditional American stereotype of what an Irish person looks like, not in the slightest.
Speaker 1Right.
Speaker 3So as the person who looks the most Irish on this podcast, I would like to wish everyone out there a happy Saint Patrick's Day.
May all of your parades go well, and you know this and that and whatnot.
Take it away John, how.
Speaker 2You expected to take it away from that?
Speaker 1John Like, uh, yeah, I don't know just what no notes appropriate, perfect intro, insulted, and just you know that the potato famine, Jeff was it was a very serious thing to a lot of That's not what I'm talking about here, you know, I mean he kind of kind of, you know, kind of is.
Speaker 2What's your favorite bit of flocking Irish Jeff.
Speaker 4Me, you're gonna say, what's your favorite bit of a potato?
Speaker 1Uh?
Speaker 3Probably drop, gig Murphy's all right, flogging Molly.
Speaker 4You know that's crazy.
Speaker 2Wow did you drop when he said, uh, the favorite part of his potato?
The there's an infamous, infamous fucking story on the internet, like a scan from a magazine about a couple that doesn't want to have sex, and there's a woman.
The woman in the relationship is like, you know, when she gets in the mood but doesn't want to give in to the temptations of the flesh, she reads a book or goes and calms down.
And then there's just an incredible line where it says the husband eats a whole potato raw.
Speaker 3Whenever I want to get onnhorny, I do that.
Speaker 1Just go pound one out, dude, jesus, a whole potato.
Speaker 3Well maybe that's code.
Maybe eat a whole potatoes code for that.
Speaker 1So like you want to, you want too, I'll be right back, eat a whole potato.
So, guys, I'm watching them.
I'm in the middle of watching every installment of the Leprechaun horror series.
Speaker 3To celebrate.
Speaker 1In the first one, and she is.
Speaker 4I cannot believe you.
You just sat there and talked about Irish and then immediately followed up by being the most stereotypical thing that you could be.
Speaker 2Corn.
Speaker 4That's incredible.
Speaker 1Well okay, okay, so first of all, like leprechauns, that's another American thing.
I've never had a conversation with another Irish leprechauns.
Speaker 3Ever where did that come from?
You think?
I have no idea.
Speaker 1It's some like old Celtic like creature.
We have way cooler creatures in Ireland than leprecauns.
But so I've always been curious about this series, mainly just because I love the horror genre of spooky little guy.
You know, you got your critters, you got gremlins, you got your graboids, which is maybe a little maybe a little different langoliers.
I like spooky ligolies.
I like spooky little mischief makers, and this is kind of a genre of horror that falls into that.
And you know what, I will say, it's not really that offensive towards Irish people until the third movie, where the leprechaun develops what I can only describe as vampire likabilities, where if he bites you, you become a leprechaun, and apparently, and so he bites a guy and the guy literally starts going, oh, potato, potato, potato, and it's.
Speaker 2Like, whoa.
Speaker 1Fucking okay, that's that's not the great.
Speaker 4Do they shrink as well?
No, like full man sized leprechns.
Speaker 1He's a man sized leprechaun, which is very unsettling size.
The titles of each Leprechaun film before we.
Speaker 3Move on to preserve please Yeah, I was waiting for you to do that.
Speaker 1Okay, Leprechaun.
That's ninety featuring Jennifer Aniston.
Speaker 3What is she?
Is she the leprechaun.
Speaker 1Battling the Leprechaun.
Speaker 4Where it's like alien aliens lepren leprecorns.
Speaker 1Said that, Tim, That is my favorite naming convention in horror films, Like that's just make it plural.
It's the best anyway.
Leprechaun and Leprechaun two.
That one doesn't have a subtitle, but you could call it Leprechaun two, Leprechaun in New York.
Then uh, Leprechaun three again no subtitle, but you call this one Leprechaun in Las Vegas.
Actually, my favorite one Oh, good to know Leprechaun four in space.
Speaker 3Oh wow, Yeah, No, why do they do that?
Speaker 2Lepreca the one thing we didn't want to happen Spice.
Speaker 3That's weird, huh, I I do indeed, indeed.
Speaker 4It doesn't.
It doesn't.
Speaker 1One has no number in the title, but it's simply called Leprechaun in the Hood.
Speaker 4Oh okay.
I was about to say, say the.
Speaker 1Next one, the next one does not have a title Leprechaun back to the Hood.
Speaker 3They went back.
They went back.
They were like, they're like, oh, we have to ride the high that we achieved the first time in the Hood.
Speaker 1Yeah, because Leprechaun in the Hood was such a smash that they needed to do it again.
We then have the twenty fourteen film, Leprechawn origins, the twenty eighteen film, and I really think this title is a choice.
Leprechaun returns.
Speaker 2Sorry, how many of them are?
Speaker 1Eight?
Lucy?
Speaker 2When was the last one?
Speaker 1Twenty eighteen?
Speaker 3So it's been a minute.
They might be done.
Speaker 2That's much more recent than I expected.
Speaker 3Yeah, but they might be done.
That's that's almost seven years ago, gone on seven years there.
I feel like it might be done there it.
Speaker 2Was like two years ago.
Dude, what are you talking about?
Speaker 3Yeah, I gotta say.
Only cool thing about Leprechaun is that's kind of a cool word if we're just looking at like the sound of words, like the espra Khan is a.
Speaker 1Cool Irish board game convention called lepre Kahn, And I deemed that appropriate.
When I think of Leprekun, I think of Wayne's world, when Mike Myers.
Speaker 3Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, he's like, I'm the lepre Kaan that kind of thing.
Speaker 1He is a freaky looking little fella.
And Warwick Davis does a great job as him.
Speaker 3Oh, I didn't know it's work Davis.
Speaker 4Yeah.
Speaker 1The Leprechaun series is really important to Aric Davis because it helped him get over the tragic passing of his child child.
Speaker 3Oh, I thought it was his wife.
Speaker 1I think I think it was a I think it was a miscarriage kind of deal.
But yeah, he really and him and Jennifer Aniston fell out because he felt that Jennifer Aniston was ashamed of the first Leprechaan movie because she never talked about it.
Speaker 2How often are they coming into contact?
Speaker 3You know, I'm gonna see he's just he's I think he just won an award.
I think he just win like a sag like a Sag Award or something.
Speaker 1But he's he's he's great in the films.
He's he does a really good little Leprechaun.
Mm hmm.
Speaker 3He seems like a really cool dude Leprecaun.
Speaker 1If you guys want to watch one of the movies.
The first Leprecaun is genuinely like, it's just a fun horror movie.
The third one is fucking book Wild.
It's so insane.
That's the one.
In Last Day we're.
Speaker 2Looking we're looking for some like bad films to watch at the moment.
Last night we watched Crave in the Hunter.
Speaker 1Oh wow, that in like a fun way or was it just kind of No?
Speaker 2It was bad in a boring way.
Speaker 1It was boring.
Speaker 2I was sad because I fell asleep during Madam Web when we watched that.
But last year Ben and I watched.
Speaker 3Moon Moonfall, Moonfall.
Speaker 2Where the moon is falling.
But can I John, I'd actually love for you to make a video for it, because do you know the premise of Moonfall, is it that the moon's falling.
It's the moon is falling, but it's also that the moon is a hyperstructure, a mega structure.
Speaker 3Oh come on?
Speaker 2Uh.
And it's so good because it has Sam Tarley from Game of Thrones in it, who pronounces Nasa not one, but two different ways.
Speaker 3Okay, what's the second way Nasa get out of town?
Speaker 2Yeah, at one point he says Nasa.
And my other favorite thing is that because the movie was co financed by like net ease, there are multiple points where they say, thanks to our Chinese friends, we're able to go to the moon.
Like it's kind of insane, it's incredible.
Also, Oscar Winner halle Berry's in it, and so is Patrick Wilson.
Patrick Wilson's to be the only person who is acutely aware that he is in a camp ass movie like this.
Oh and he he doesn't.
Speaker 3Where's Tim Robbins?
Where do you go?
Speaker 4He's in?
Speaker 1Isn't he in?
Speaker 2He's in Silo?
Speaker 3Oh?
There he is.
Speaker 1I didn't know.
Speaker 3I didn't know I was looking for it.
Speaker 2Well, Silo season one is good.
Season one Season two ship.
Speaker 1I've I checked out a few episodes.
We think you should leave and it wasn't really London with me is the kind of thing.
Speaker 3No, No, that's Tim Robinson.
Tim Robbin that's Tim Robinson.
I'm talking about the the prestigious Tim Robbins at the actor Redemption.
Speaker 4You should like.
Speaker 3I think you should leave.
Also, I need you to go back and do your homework.
It's very hit or miss, for sure, but the hits are there are good.
So I'm gonna need you to watch all three seasons again if you could.
Okay, I think the first season is still the best, but two and three have really good ones.
Speaker 2Jeff, do you didn't because I went to that.
Speaker 3Life show.
Speaker 2Yeah, so I've seen some unaired skits.
Speaker 1Do you guys want to hear a Facebook status update for me from fifteen years ago?
Speaker 3More than anything, More than anything.
Speaker 1Sometimes Facebook shows me these.
I still use Facebook to like message some people.
Oh, oh my god, you will.
Speaker 3I have a burner for that.
Speaker 1Okay, here we go an hour and a half into f F thirteen.
I would greatly appreciate if the game would start soon.
Speaker 2Damn got him?
Speaker 1Man, John Savage, Jesus, Damn John.
Speaker 3Have you always been this funny?
Speaker 1Jeff?
I would say, But I feel like the evidence is it's right there.
Speaker 3It's overwhelming, it's overhowling.
How old were you back then?
Speaker 1I'm twenty three.
Speaker 3That's cool getting on Facebook talking about FF thirteen being a wise ass.
Speaker 2If I have one for my Facebook memories.
Speaker 4Mine is usually around watching like latest episodes of TV shows and being like today's episode was good slash bad hey.
Speaker 2Two years ago?
Because it also it also includes your Instagram now two years ago, I was trying to play Diablo for and I couldn't get in.
Speaker 3That's kind of recent and less interesting.
Speaker 2Okay, let me go away back, let me go all the way back.
Um, see, I guess I never posted store like status's.
Speaker 3I get it.
You didn't have a lot going on.
It's okaying.
Speaker 2Pictures of me going out and enjoying time with my friends, Jeff, something that I know you can never relate to.
You definitely have posted because you've You've sent me them, some of them, some of them have deleted.
There's one that I always remember and I always enjoy it.
Coming up every year is the time that my mom is getting some fitted wardrobes done.
And she asked if she could see the bleached ash sample of the wood, but instead she asked him if he could if she could see his bleached ass.
Speaker 1Speaking of bleached grasses, Griffith lies wounded after after the after the battle with Zod and we encounter are we encounter a group of we'll say, troublesome nobles.
We got we got, we got, we got, we got Corcus two point ero, and we also have the little this little eggheaded fella who I'm just gonna say it, trouble.
Speaker 3Yeah, he seems like trouble.
He's just bad virus, bad virus.
Speaker 2What was Oh?
Speaker 3Yeah, it's little spiders, did he not?
Speaker 1Here's little his little birds.
Speaker 3These little birds talk to me and they tell me things about middle Well, what's the place we live in the realm?
Realm?
We're not just general realm general Westerner's gossip.
Speaker 4He was mostly just just he was mostly just ratting on people, shagging, wasn't he.
Speaker 3Yeah, he's ragging on people because he didn't.
Speaker 1Have the B but he also he also had that.
He also had that, he had that wizard in the table.
Speaker 3I'm sorry the.
Speaker 1US has Like he's like, what do you know the one who mutilated me?
And he's talking to whoever he's talking to is like okay, and he's like, would you like to see them?
And then he just like lives up the.
Speaker 2Yeah, man, American weird I just don't have any Game of Thrones knowledge anymore.
Speaker 4The way you presented that was was just like joker, like you want to know how I lost this dick.
Speaker 1That's so sick.
Speaker 3And yeah, so he's he's a general shitster, this little egghead.
Speaker 1He does seem to be a professional shitster, like that's kind of what he does.
Speaker 3What we'll get to the end of the end of the episode.
A really shown his colors there, we'll get there.
Speaker 1Yeah, we sure will.
And that's when our boy Guts shows up and immediately we just get this fucking guy.
There's like, okay, look the timecode is three minutes and thirty two seconds into the episode, but yeah, he just immediately makes this face of guts and it's like, oh my god, this fucking dude, let me see.
Speaker 3Yeah he's what's up face?
Speaker 4What is that guy?
Speaker 3What do you are?
They like paupers, like what would you call them?
They're just like they're like the they're like congress people, like shitty elite congress people, like.
Speaker 1They all have like they're all from rich families and have places in the king's court, and they wreck them.
Speaker 3We have superior blood.
It's obvious, right, that kind of because that's the voice I'm doing for Brazark's on One Trick Pony, and that's what I'm doing.
Speaker 1Okay, Yeah, Jeff's gonna have to ask you to save your Corcus voice for a couple of minutes.
Speaker 3Here, fair enough, no problem, this is my normal voice.
Speaker 1And Guts basically stamps on the dude's toe and he's like, kind of stuff you a weenie, and the dude is like, my blade shall have your blood and our boy Guts just just fucking stares.
Just give me.
Speaker 3He's like, what's that, bitch?
What did you say?
Speaker 4Bitch?
Speaker 3You talking to me?
And yeah, it's pretty sick.
Speaker 1It's it's pretty fucking cool.
Goods catches up with the rest of the band a hawk outside I guess some kind of like Middle Ages infirmary, and they're all kind of looking at big Gloam.
They're all kind of looking looking like a little sad read.
Speaker 2Up on the history of medicine.
You'd be looking glum too, I said it like that.
Speaker 3You'd be gloom too.
Speaker 2If you've been to the Welcome Collection and Welcome Collection, I don't think so.
A few years ago.
I don't know if they still have it.
I don't know if it's the standing exhibits.
The Welcome Collection is a gallery in London, like a museum in London, and they had all of these devices from the history of medicine, and let's just say there are some spiky looking things to go around, so I would love you know, you know what the coolest thing they had was so they had they had like like a slice of ham but of a person from to toe.
I think it was it was so so thin that you could basically like see through and you could see where the lungs were and all the organs and the skin.
Yeah, it was cool.
And then it was like you know when you put stuff on a microscope, like a piece of glass to go under a microscope, it like it was flat.
It was really cool.
I really enjoyed it.
Speaker 3I don't like it.
Speaker 2You can got body Works in Las Vegas and you can see the body parts.
Speaker 1I was actually just in Amsterdam and they had that there as well.
Speaker 4Work.
Speaker 1Yeah, but Michelle's like, I want to see bodies and I'm like, oh, okay, Well.
Speaker 2The problem with Bodyworks is it's the exhibit itself.
It's really old and it's all this really old plastic that's not really been taken care of the best, because when I saw it years ago, there was like bits snapped off and all that.
But it was cool that guy used to do autopsies live on TV, Jeff, and that's what we used to watch in the UK.
Speaker 4They used to show that on like Friday Night, a man doing a live autopsy and like embalming preservation and explaining what he's doing with a live studio audience.
Speaker 3Yeah, I'm good, I'm good.
Speaker 1Speaking of live autopsies, Griffith is being basically swarmed by these nobles who are all kind of like getting behind him and being kind of like, okay, this this guy is the guy, and I want to make sure that I'm at his bedside while he's injured because he can't run away from me.
Yep, yep totally.
And Guts is like, well, let's just go in, and everyone's like you can't do that.
Goods.
All the nobles are in there.
They get Griffith first basically.
Speaker 3And yeah, they get to smell him first.
You have to wake your turn to smell him.
Speaker 1And Goots is basically like nah, and just just proves these two guards to be the most ineffective humans possible.
He basically trips them up, and when he trips them up, both of them are just like, well I had my chance and just stay down.
Speaker 2There's a lot of in this yeah, which I enjoy.
Speaker 4Also, I think the bers universe there's a very noticeable shift in Gutz's demeanor as well, like he's being shitty, Like he's being really like snot nosed to everyone, which is which isn't like what we like.
In the last episode, he's still very broody in this episode, he's like, I'm gonna be an asshole to everyone.
And I think it does come from, you know, that wounded ego where he got his ass kicked by Nozaratuza and then got like admonished by Kaska.
So it feels like his ego has been hurt and now he's just being a bit of a shithead to kind of reassert some of that.
Speaker 1Yeah, And I think maybe there's a sense of it as well, where it's like he senses these nobles closing in on his boy right, Yeah, he doesn't like this boyfriend.
Yes, oh, Jeff, come on, there's no like I.
Speaker 3Want to get in there.
There's my my boyfriend, my leaders in there.
Speaker 1Any boy friend slightly this episode.
Speaker 3No, you're right, John, I could not agree more, except for the twenty minute gay scene that's about to happen because there is a leaf blowing in the wind gay scene that takes up the majority of this episode, where almost nothing is set except for do you want to do you want to go out?
Like for real?
For real?
I don't know, do you want to go out?
For real?
Speaker 1For real?
Speaker 3Let's just sit here and stand.
Speaker 2You know what, we'll get there.
Speaker 4Let's just sit here and stand.
Speaker 3That's what That's what they did.
They sat down while standing only.
Speaker 2In We should have sent him the Garfield hates mondays.
Speaker 3Cut totally yes of that scene because it oh my lord, oh my lord.
Anyway, I'm sorry, Joan.
Yeah, I've seen nothing, okay, John, Oh yes, very very familiar.
Yeah, I know you.
Speaker 1Oh yeah.
Speaker 3But it wasn't a question.
Speaker 1That was that's Vandyke Garfield and Berserk is just me?
Speaker 3That is that is intersecting mm hmm.
Speaker 1But before it gets can get in, Caska lands the meanest fucking right on him, and our boy goes down, stumbles, his knees are wobbling, He's he's down.
Speaker 3Yeah's just like Casco.
Speaker 4What the fuck was that.
Speaker 2Me too?
He just like he just looks he knows what he did.
Speaker 1Corcus's face here is fucking incredible.
I'm gonna looks.
Speaker 3Like he's melting, you know.
Speaker 1Oh I I have the episode open and yeah, I'm.
Speaker 3Scrubbing through it.
Speaker 1Yep.
It just helps.
It's I am really bad at taking notes, and I actually just prefer like looking at it and being like, oh ship, yeah this bit and just again some some real weird drawns of Casket, but some just fucking beautiful drawings of her as well, Like I think she looks so cool in this and that bit with the punch.
It's like, I feel like Casket in these early episodes comes across like maybe a little a little like yeah sometimes, but moments like that make like a little goods like you.
Speaker 3Know, oh sure, like a like a like a sibling kind of thing.
Speaker 1Yeah she could.
She spends a lot of time being angry, guts and complaining when I think like, there's there's a lot more to her than that, but it's like that that side of it we get, but little moments like that I just think characterized her so well.
Speaker 3I can never understand her pants, Like can I understand if like she's wearing pants or not, or if it's just really high boots.
You know, I'm not sure where women can wear pants.
Yeah they can, of course they can't.
I just don't understand them the way they're Hey, a little bit of calment, a little bit of calm beat tam if you might know.
But like that's what I'm saying.
Like anyway, it's just an observation about the way she's drawn, that's all.
Okay.
Speaker 4This is also the part where it becomes as obvious as it will be that she's very jealous of Guts.
Speaker 3Mm hmm.
Yeah.
Speaker 1In the next scene, we find Guts just hanging out on some stairs and he's just swinging his sword over and over and yep, and that is when he has encountered Bike Griffith.
And this sure is a scene.
Speaker 3And why is that?
Why would you describe it as a scene?
Is it because it's forever forever that they It's very long.
Speaker 1It's a long scene.
But I think there's a lot here that is very important to this general relationship and ynamic and sure.
Speaker 2Things breathed, Jeff, you don't have to have you know, you know, we're not making Bersik for the TikTok generation here.
Speaker 3This is Oh, they made a meal out of this scene.
That's definitely what happened.
Uh, you know, it's just a series of like, you know, it's just dudes being dudes.
Let's be honest.
Like he's like, hey, I gotta ask you something, Griffith, just like, why are you always like putting your life out on the line for me?
Like do you need a reason?
You need a reason?
Like He's like, yeah, I don't know reason, but do you want one?
Yeah?
I need it.
Maybe I guess i'd like a reason while I clutch my gigantic penis sword.
Speaker 4What a reason?
Speaker 3Yeah, he's they're both yes, a lot of sword clutching.
Okay, so let me I'll throw it back to you, John, What do you think is like the one sentence takeaway from this scene on this little landing here in the wind, in the blowing leaves.
Speaker 2Hmm.
Speaker 1Okay, So I think the takeaway from this scene is that there is something about guts that makes Griffith act in a way that he would not normally act, and specifically putting another person over his dream.
Speaker 4Hmm.
Speaker 3But do you do you think they're see I think they've established that already before they see.
Speaker 4I think they've established that, and I think, sorry, I think this is what I take away is actually the other way around, Like it's it is an interaction where guts the mercenary, who are traditionally avoided committing to anyone or believing in anyone, as a conversation with someone charismatic that he's connected with that that has an impact on him in a way that he fully commits to someone.
That's why he has that bit where he's like, you know, my life has been one way, but I'm gonna fight for him.
So it's like his he's the person.
Cuts is the person that's changing based on what Griffith says, where it's like do I need a reason for this?
I just I just want to do it.
And I think that's the first time he's had that since ever because he was born you know then it was just Gambino treating him like shit for a really long time being on the run, so you never trusted anyone up until now.
Speaker 1I think that's pretty I would agree with all that.
And that is when the King comes out and he's basically like Griffith, my boy, and it's here you see Griffith kind of he sort of goes right back into like playing the game, playing the noble game, right, He's like trying to appeal to the king, and the king's brother is here, and the king's brother is like Corcus three point ero.
This fucking dude is so angry at Griffith all the time.
Yeah, and.
Speaker 4He's all.
Speaker 3I just I just liked how he was sort of just like standing beside him, and he's like, look, I'm super old, but you make me pretty horny for fighting.
I gotta say, no, one's really I haven't had that feeling in twenty years.
But when I see you fight, it makes me think I could get back on the horse, if you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2It stoked my fires.
Speaker 1Meanwhile, his furious brother is just completely what's what's the opposite of eyes dilating, ice dilating is when they get big right, sneering?
Speaker 2Oh wait, wait, no, no, no, okay.
So I don't know how much smut you guys read, but what I don't know, So there's this thing where a lot of like smut and romanticy whatever his ex bloated in popularity in the last couple years.
No that it wasn't always big, but like through TikTok and whatever.
Speaker 3Even like horny, like horny novels.
Speaker 4Yeah, but there are.
Speaker 2Always these phrases that they use, and there's stuff like his jaw tightened and what John is talking about the phrase is his eyes darkened.
But they were like, what the fuck does that even mean?
What does it even mean?
Speaker 3Yeah, but you know what it means.
But like you, but I know what.
Speaker 2I'm sorry that this is an audio podcast, but Jeff, can you darken your eyes for me?
Speaker 3No?
Exactly, not at all all, but but as a but as a literary device, I know what it means.
It means like blood is flowing, if you catch my meaning.
Speaker 1So I actually I can show you blood flowing.
I agree with Lucy on this one.
This is one of those things where like like, this is the kind of thing where you're using words to describe the feeling you want to convey, as opposed to communicating it in a more visual way.
So like every lead.
Classic example of this is someone being like he jealously turned around, right, that's crazy.
Speaker 2Yeah, but this is the issue with a lot of the smart books these days.
Like I like people, I haven't they always been like I read all of the court Thorns and Roses.
Speaker 3I don't even know what that is.
Speaker 2There was a book that I stopped reading because the this bitch, this girl who is the main character, bit the inside of her cheek six times in one chapter, and I was like, I'm done, Jesus, this bitch has got she's got saws.
Okay, it sounds like it hurts.
Yeah, she's got ulcers.
Now anyway, this is my big pet peeve that we've accidentally started.
Speaker 3That's what's smutters now.
Speaker 2And that's why now I'm reading a book about the history of the home.
Speaker 3Mhm Okay.
Speaker 4There's a lot of dragons smut as well now in those oh dragons happening in those books.
Speaker 3I was on a dragon.
Speaker 1I sent to dinner with some friends recently, and the my friend's wife was very into like spot and stuff, and she was telling me about some of them.
And she told me one about dinosaurs and oh really the trecerah tops and bottoms.
Speaker 2Oh sorry, no, I was thinking of a different one.
There's a there's some about vegetables that went viral recently.
Speaker 1Jesus, Yeah, dude, I mean, hey, look all kinds of people out there, right.
Speaker 3Yeah, all walks of life and you know, get it where you can find it, as long as you're not hurting anyone, right totally.
Speaker 1So then I think we've seen her in one or two scenes before, but this is the scene where we're kind of more introduced to Princess Charlotte.
Yes, that's just this, the shy, retiring little princess who I don't wanna.
I don't wanna, you know, I don't want to speak for the princess, right, but I think might have a little might have a little speak for Griffith here.
Speaker 3Yeah, this sleepy little princess who can barely speak, I guess seems like it seems like she's got the hots for our silver haired boy.
Speaker 4But they say that she's very like.
She doesn't like and doesn't like being around traditionally like military men.
She doesn't like it.
So she sees Griffithan's like this man is a feather blowing in the winds.
I love him.
Speaker 3Mm hmm.
And then let's talk about the slowest trip imaginable.
Speaker 1Well, I mean I think maybe maybe maybe maybe the princess was like a trip slowly.
Maybe she got some game.
Speaker 2You know, he's got a lot of she's got a lot of dresses and stuff.
Maybe that's slows down, that's the thing.
Speaker 4It looked slow.
But I remember when I was in school one time, my friend falling off his chair and it was the slowest thing I had ever all my life.
And I get, I get the various points.
I knew I could stand up and stop him from falling.
He was going that slow, and I just watched it happen.
And at the end he looked at me and went, why did I fall so slowly?
Speaker 1No, there's nothing.
There's nothing like a good slow fall.
And like you know what, it'll happen in like several steps where there will be several failed attempts to write one no one.
Speaker 3Because no one gets hurt in a slow fall.
The impact is just too brief, you know, it's.
Speaker 1Never but the damage to one's aura is so high.
Speaker 2It's like a psychic damage that you carry with you.
Speaker 1Yeah, because like it's it's like your trade in physical damage for mental damage.
Speaker 3Right.
Well, this clumsy little fuck, let's hear it.
What did she do?
Speaker 2I I'm gonna tell a story about my slow fall.
Speaker 3Okay, sure.
Speaker 2I fall.
I had a slow fall.
That was one of those things that no one saw, so you don't have to even believe me, but it was the most incredible thing that ever happened to me.
I kicked a football.
Speaker 3Because wait, you weren't the one holding it.
Speaker 2Hey, damn it.
I was trying to make that joke myself.
Speaker 3Sorry.
Speaker 2I kicked a football and I kind of kept going with the force of my swing of my foot and the ball bounced off the wall, came back, and my butt landed on the on the ball I was falling, so.
Speaker 4It didn't get any air.
It just went forward and back.
Speaker 2Yeah, because I was like right next to a little wall.
Speaker 4That's crazy.
Yeah, no one was around to see it.
Speaker 2And no one was around to see it.
If if a girl lands on her ass in the forest and no one's around to see it, she really happened.
Speaker 1I just find it like, there's she have an anime podcast she can talk about it on because in that case, yeah, I.
Speaker 4Just want to know the backstory of why you're alone just kicking a ball at the wall, because it has very much like.
Speaker 3Charlie Brown and yeah, no, I mean was it a football football or like a European soccer hall.
Speaker 2It was a football football.
Speaker 3That's even a stranger because of the oblong shape.
Speaker 2Yeah.
In the UK, you would play out every night after school and I was waiting for my friend Colleen to come out, and I was playing.
Speaker 3Oh damn, her story is air tight.
Oh I don't know.
Speaker 4I just want to know.
Speaker 2It's a memory.
Yeah, yeah, who lived opposite.
I'm not going to say her surname, but I still remember it.
And she was like the eldest of like five kids, and she loved Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which I had not really seen at that time.
But we used to play outside all the time because I would go to my anti Branda's after school.
Lovely.
Speaker 4Damn Colleen sounds huh, I said, Colleen sounds amazing.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer at that age just locked in.
Speaker 1Well yeah, oh man, I was into Buffy the Vampire Slayer the second that shit came out.
Speaker 2I was a bit later.
Oh, it wasn't there from the.
Speaker 1Beginning, being like eleven and watching Buffy mind blay.
Speaker 4Unfortunately, the first thing I watched of Buffy was the original movie, and I was like, ah, not great, and then when it showed up again, I was like, I'm all right.
I didn't realize it was like, oh damn.
But then I watched it and I was like, this is great.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, no, it's such a good show.
I've been meaning to rewatch forever, much like I rewatched this scene where Griffith catches the princess and immediately corks three point oh fucking backhands the shit out of Griffith.
He is not happy about this mercenary putting his hands on the princess?
Speaker 4What did he want for the fall?
Speaker 2Like?
Speaker 3What are we doing?
Speaker 4I don't think he can see.
Speaker 3He thought he was just groping her.
What do you mean come on?
Yeah, yeah, he's like, my bad.
Speaker 2Because he startn't looking for any excuse.
Speaker 1Yeah, he just hates Griffith so much.
Speaker 3Yeah, because Griffith is so cool.
Speaker 1And to goods lying everything.
I mean that, I mean we we literally get a scene later that's a bunch of girls being.
Speaker 3Like, they really don't they don't mince words there, No, they really don't.
Speaker 2Girls do not.
Yeah, I mean it's group, it's teenage girls.
Speaker 4Mm hm.
Speaker 1And so we then get a scene and it's got the real goods theme playing the real dramatic Oh finally, and look, I'm not saying that the sword isn't a penis.
But I just think the scene has multiple meanings.
Speaker 3M yeah, multiple penis meanings.
I mean, it's I'm not even I'm not even exaggerating.
I'm not even exaggerating, you guys.
My man like tucks that sword back and forth in the most obvious of ways, and he's just pointing it at the moon, being like.
Speaker 1Yeah, griffits the moon, Jeff, and he wants to reach it.
Speaker 3Shot for the moon.
Yeah, sure, it's it's everything's cool, It's all cool.
It's fine, this is yeah, everything's cool.
Speaker 1Look, you know, we can all agree that there is no symbolism in this shot.
Of agree it's holding his sor and thinking of Griffith.
Speaker 3Okay.
Speaker 1It's just sometimes things just are the way they are.
Speaker 2It's I think you're reading into a bit much.
Speaker 4It's like I do too.
It's like that time I was walking back from trade to Joe's and I had just purchased two melons and I was holding it at chest height and walking down the road and people kept looking at me.
It just sometimes it just happens and you don't understand, you know.
Speaker 2It's yeah, it's like it's a It's why I don't really enjoy buying toilet paper because every time I come out of the shop, people see me and they're like, oh that girl shit you know.
Speaker 3Yeah, No, Ever, it was.
Speaker 1Okay, but Lucy, like, I don't like people seeing this ship.
I can't think a way to continue this conversation in a way that I feel comfortable.
Speaker 3Yeah, agreed, Okay.
Speaker 2Minute, we had mood.
Men, we had mood.
I don't know what it is.
Speaker 3That's the best man on him grabbing that handle on that sword man.
Speaker 1I mean, there is one shot and it's it's so gratuitous.
Speaker 3Yep, whatever, Let him have his fun right on that rooftop.
No one's there with your guts, baby, do do your thing?
Speaker 1Oh goots.
We then cut to is it?
But I always forget this guy's name.
Speaker 4It's no the boss.
Speaker 3It's like Cabalowitz or something.
Speaker 4Yeah, it's it's a very weird name.
But you're you're conflating Bosconi and doctor Boskonovic.
Speaker 3His boss.
It's the guy he like fights for.
Speaker 4We've only seen his mouth.
Speaker 1And yeah, so he's basically there and he knows that the band of Hawk has been sent to uh raid his like stronghold, and he he's like listen, dudes, I've got this great fucking plan.
We're gonna put all our strongest soldiers up up front.
Speaker 4And that goes on for so long.
Speaker 3Mm hmm.
What where does castle come from?
Seems uh convenient?
Speaker 1Wait no, hang on, UK.
I feel I feel, I feel like we we we go through this every episode.
Okay, there's the Midland, which is just a big fucking land full of castles and fields.
Okay, full of them.
Speaker 3But what I'm but what I'm saying is if this is the most penetrable fortress, why is that not impenetrable.
Speaker 1It's not impenetrable.
Speaker 2Impenetrable, you said.
Speaker 3Oh, because I almost said in a craig, yeah, that one.
Why not have this one?
Just be the one?
Speaker 1Like?
Speaker 3What are we doing wasting our time with other stronghold.
Speaker 2There is based on the UK.
Speaker 1You know, but there there there is an impenetrable strongholds, but we have not got there yet.
This is.
Speaker 3This is like a mid level ball.
Speaker 4He's the one that says it's impenetrable, and he's saying it while he's explaining how cool.
Then he isn't how good I get.
Speaker 2The guy who made the Titanic said it was unsinkable.
Okay, Like.
Speaker 3He did say unless you hit an iceberg.
He said that specifically.
That part never gets quoted, but.
Speaker 2He did said, unless you hit an iceberg.
Speaker 3I mean yeah, unless something real sharp and icy and burgee hits it, then.
Speaker 1We have a b sharp and icy and Burgie.
I can't think of anything.
But if something like that were to exist, yeah, like you know.
Speaker 2Was another hyperfixation of mine.
And yeah, the fact that the water could just go over the blast.
Speaker 3Doors was why were you obsessed with the Titanic?
That's weird because we.
Speaker 2Grew up in the nineties.
You couldn't escape that ship.
Speaker 3Oh oh, Kate winslet's the Titanic.
Speaker 2No, But then I became obsessed with the actual ship.
Speaker 1Did you ever get ever get into the the Alexander mummy ship on the Titanic?
Speaker 3What?
Speaker 2What puting a mummy?
Speaker 1Yes?
This whole fucking weird thing.
I won't go into it.
It's a big part of the nine to ninety nine game.
It's it's it's one of those things I read about it in a video game and I was like, that's so weird and specific.
It kind of sounds like there's something to it.
And then I looked into it and there was and it was weird.
It was really cool.
Speaker 3Interesting, that's kind of cool.
Speaker 1What else is kind of cool is that we then see the band of Hawk about to attack this castle and we just get this look right at the end of the episode in Griffith's eyes and it's real, like real like narrow pupils.
My dude is fucking locked in his.
Speaker 3Eyes, his eyes darkened, eyes darken, his eyes darkened.
Speaker 2No, it's it's a predator before he this prey like like a cat, like locking in on a mouse.
Speaker 1And oh man, I was thinking about that today, like what what if they did a Leprechaun versus movie?
Speaker 2What would it be?
Speaker 4This?
Speaker 1Yeah, see, he's a very magical little fella, like he's the closest in powers, is like Freddy Krueger in each dream state.
But but that's not what you really want to go for, is it.
You don't want to magic users, you want you want Freddy versus Jason.
Yeah, so maybe maybe a leprechn versus Michael Myers.
Speaker 4Oh yeah, there you go versus ghost face.
Speaker 1Oh mmmm, yeah I could.
I could see that Apricaun doesn't know how many ghost faces there are.
Speaker 4Yeah, I know, so every time he runs into a room, he trips over a couch and.
Speaker 1Like, so there's slender Man.
There's a sequence in the first Screen movie where it's like forty seconds of ghost Face just getting his ass handed to it, yeah, by by the girl and she's like Judo flipping them and he's like crap, and it's like he's not very good at it.
Speaker 4It's it's the movie horror movie equivalent of the Heavy Rain Jason falling over a scene where he's like failing every fucking qut and it's just every yeah, it's every time I see ghost Face and like that's the same thing.
Speaker 1So at the start of this next episode here, Oh, first of all, what did you guys think of Episode seven?
Speaker 3It was it was a little slow, but I thought it was a okay you know, I just as much as I like to make fun of it, I just I like how this show takes its time.
I just do you know.
I like White Lotus and everyone says, oh, White Lotus is taking too long to get going.
I'm like, you know, what, something something about it I think shows I.
Speaker 1Just can't wait to watch those three women to kill each other.
Speaker 3Yeah, that's gonna be fun.
They all must die, by the way, they all must die.
No, I yeah, I'm just like, uh, I think slow boils are fun sometimes, and this show earns it for sure.
Speaker 1Totally.
Speaker 2I think that's the thing where it's like knowing what I know about what's coming.
The fact that it is taking the slow approach and not rushing to any of the stuff is very like it's good.
Speaker 1Yeah, totally, and I think, like, you know, having experienced this story however many times now, there's a lot in that last episode that I'm just like, oh, okay, I see where we're I see where we're going.
Speaker 4Yeah, yeah, it's there.
Is there is payoff for the pacing y Yeah, totally.
Speaker 2I mean, I don't know how they do it in the anime, but after reading the manga.
Speaker 1At the start of this episode, it's kind of interesting.
It's like a three minute, like really intricate sequence of basically getting a bunch of horses across the lake.
Speaker 3Kind of funny looking too, right.
Speaker 1I really enjoyed it, and they like they've built this pulley system so the horses can't run away.
De Yeah, you can tell it's interesting.
You could.
You can tell that this costs a lot of money, because when it pans over the forest, all of that looks like shit, it's just terrible drawings.
Speaker 4It's like, what the fuck happened here?
Like, oh yeah, they use the production budget on the beginning and the end of this episode.
Yep.
Speaker 1And so the band of Hawk gets to the top of the hill and just starts screaming at this castle and our boy.
They really do.
And at first, at first and the night the night dude in charge of the castle is like, well, time to go out there and fight them in the field, and it's like, what the fuck is wrong with you?
First, and the guy's like yeah, yeah, and then it's like, well, I guess we'll just have to go ahead and fight them.
And then he's literally like last second he's like, wait, no, let's not do what I just said.
Speaker 4It's like, yeah, dude, this guy, this guy, this is a reference for people who have watch Dragon ball Z.
This guy has the exact same energy.
I missed a Satan and it is so annoying.
Both characters are exactly the same, and missus Satan behaves just like this.
Speaker 3Wait, there's so named mister Satan.
That sounds cool.
Speaker 4Now, he's not really, He's not any in any way demonic or devilish.
He's just the man who pretends that he can do fighting and gets his ass kicked constantly.
Speaker 1He's like the strongest normal human who is not trained by Masteruoshi, which means he's nice.
Speaker 4Yeah, but he lives in a world where basically superhumans are everywhere.
Speaker 3Yeah, that's funny.
Speaker 1But he's also the person who like ends up taking credit for all the big bad guys being beaten, and so he's like a big celebrity and Goku's kind of like, ow whatever, it's cool.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1So then, and I think maybe the the infiltration of the back end of the castle here is a little weak where they're just like, hey, could you let us in doors open?
I don't see any problem with that, and then Guts just starts murdering people straight away.
Speaker 4There's also that bit where they there's also a bit where Guts and Griffith are murdering people and then they cross paths and synchronize for a single glance.
Lucy, can we get the smart novel description of that glance?
Speaker 1Please?
Speaker 2Their eyes locked and Griffith's jaw tightened, They eyeball wheeled his mighty sword.
Speaker 3They totally have a moment.
Speaker 2Got to wipe the sweat from his brow.
I don't know.
Speaker 3I mean, there's just it's just life and death, death and destruction all around them, and they cross paths and they're just.
Speaker 2Like, so yeah, going back on my psychology degree here, and also most of this stuff was debunked, so you know whatever, but there was we were all taught when we were studying.
Attraction is that you are brought together more in instances of high stress.
So there's this infamous experiment where they had people on a rickety bridge and more people were kind of attracted to each other if they crossed paths on the rickety bridge than they.
Speaker 3Did because they think they're gonna die.
Speaker 2And so that's the thing where it's like I together has has brought them together in such a way.
But the thing is, it's like all of these psychology experiments that you were kind of towards when you're studying psychology at like GCSE and a level whatever, even when I was doing my degree, right, it's like, none of that ship happens in real life.
No.
I mean sometimes, yeah, you might meet someone on a bridge, but you know, it's not.
Speaker 3How did you two meet we were in a bank getting robbed.
Speaker 2Hang on, I always thought, growing up, I thought bank robberies were going to be a much bigger deal.
Speaker 3No, the joke is quicksand the joke is quicksand growing up on cartoons being much less of a problem.
Speaker 4I feared quicksand brees.
I feared quicksand.
But I think, deep down I knew my chances of encounter and quicksand were very low.
Whereas I went to I saw and went to banks fairly frequently, So I was definitely off the school where I thought bank robberies were going to be a much bigger part of my life.
Speaker 1I remember when I was.
Speaker 2When I was a kid, Actually this is quite worrying.
When I was so I worked in a bunch of law firms when I was a teenager.
Right, they would give me the money to take to the bank, like sometimes people were paying cash and I would just go in there with a big fucking envelope of a wadch of cash and take it in.
And I was like, I'm gonna get robbed.
You get robbed, Z it have to do that.
Speaker 1I remember being little and like again also being very concerned about quicksands and deciding that I was just never going to go to a country that had quicksands, and that was my solution.
Speaker 3Yeah, I don't think.
Speaker 2I don't think I was as worried about quicksand because The Princess Bride is my favorite movie, and you know, I just assumed like Wesley would come save me.
Speaker 3That's fair.
Speaker 4There's always a copy of Princess Bride in the quicksand, so there is.
Speaker 2With those rodents.
Speaker 4I still haven't seen quicksand in my life, so I think that means something.
Speaker 3Same never encountered it.
So our boys do great in the fighting year.
Speaker 1They infiltrate the behind the castle, then they swing the front doors open guts and Griffith have their have their little moment of gay longing in the in the battle, and everything's great.
Speaker 4I just want to point something out the Band of Hawk, right, every time they go into a battle, everyone's like, wow, so clever.
They've done the pincer move about eight times now, like every single time they go into any siege, they just use the pincer move and everyone's like, oh, these guys are so clever.
It's like someone else do the pincer move, And you think.
Speaker 1Do you think?
Do you think tam, they're slow or.
Speaker 2Someone else just assumed that the pincer move is coming.
Speaker 1Do you think that the enemy that like enemy guys are like looking at like the battle on a table and they have like the band of hawk here and they go, okay, so if they're gonna attack us from the front, and then they're also gonna do it from no, I don't I don't know, I don't know.
Just just defend the front.
Just defend the front like we always do.
I can't say they never be they would never be so bold as to try the pincer movement a fourth.
Speaker 4Time, exact.
Speaker 3Yeah, and then but but hey, listen, they're undefeated, you know, forty three forty three.
And now from my from my account.
Speaker 1Get this strange little moment right at the end of the battle where everyone's celebrating, and next thing, Judeau whips out a throwing knife and just mrks some guy across the field.
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah, excuse me, what's the context there?
Speaker 4What do you mean?
Speaker 1I think that the purposes of this moment is to show that judeou is a cool motherfucker.
And I think that's it.
Speaker 3Because I thought it was like, oh, there was one more bad guy.
I thought, I thought that's what they were doing.
Was Okay, it's just an odd little detail.
I feel like, how do you guys think?
Yeah, weird?
Speaker 4I think it just reinforces competency and also, like, you know, it's another moment that kind of builds the idea of camaraderie and the group being tight knit now and aware of each other.
Yeah, totally.
Speaker 1So then are the little the kind of crew cut, blonde night guy who's just had his castle taken by the Ganda, by.
Speaker 3Thelowitz from.
Speaker 1Sure, he meets the leader of the Purple Rhino Nights, and you get to feel like Kiborlowitz, he's kind of its kind of a chocolehead.
Speaker 3I mean, yeah, he's a he's a he's a baby.
Speaker 1Yeah, but this, this Purple Rhino Night he ain't nobody fuck around with.
Is the feeling feeling I get from this guy.
And he's basically like, get your fucking castle back.
Speaker 2This is the last time I'm telling you go.
Speaker 3Get it back.
And then I loved how the guards he was with he was talking about like, oh, this raft has been in my family for five hundred years or something, and then they're like, oh, it's five hundred.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure you said two fifty yesterday.
Speaker 1And we then get we basically get the Nighting of Griffith.
Speaker 3He's becoming a count.
Speaker 1His a count now, and is it it?
Speaker 3Maybe it's accounting, do it?
Speaker 1You guys know what he what?
Know what he means him?
Speaker 4It's just jokes.
It's just good to remember that he is a dad.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's a good point.
It's gotta bust them out somehow, like the little little dad jokes.
Speaker 3Someone out there is gonna laugh.
And whoever you are, listener, you will be a father to kind of you're my kind of person.
Speaker 1Another And it's interesting like standing behind the king as Griffith is being made count, is like all these characters who are actually gonna be like pretty important in the next couple episodes.
But it's just kind of cool to see them like planted here.
I guess, hm, that queen sure has a nasty look on her face.
Speaker 2Yeah, she's got a bit of the old RBF.
Speaker 4Yeah, I think so severe looking.
Speaker 2Maybe she just maybe she's just not get any lines.
Speaker 3Yeah, it's kind of very much so very certainly certainly.
Speaker 1Yeah.
We then get a Corcus three point ero and he encounters.
Speaker 2Voice ready to get the voice ready?
Speaker 1Okay, actually know what we have in our Carcus sections episode, Jeff, could you do?
Corcus preparing a meal for the band of Hawk.
But he's he's gonna give Guts like very small portions compared to everyone else on casion.
Speaker 3I've been slaving over this kitchen for four hours, nobody coming in to help me.
Whatsoever a problem?
What like this?
It's not a problem.
Oh is this God's portion?
Maybe maybe a couple of pubes?
Speaker 4And oh good Lord?
Speaker 3Soope, Oh he won't notice.
Not my problem.
Guts your problem?
Now, drink up?
Speaker 1Okay, Guts enters the tents.
Corcus, did you just put pubes in my dinner?
Speaker 3What's that?
Speaker 2How'd you talking?
Speaker 1Yeah?
You were, You were talking really loud.
I was outside the tent and I heard.
I heard you very loud that you put.
Speaker 3Oh not pubes, cubes, ice cubes.
It's too What is an ice cube?
Ah, they've I haven't.
I've invented them.
Have you ever thought water should be hard?
That's what I've done, and I've I've made it chili and over time it'll be water again.
You're welcome.
Speaker 4Cube is in my soup?
Speaker 3It was, and now it's not, and therefore your soup is easier to eat.
But how less hot?
Speaker 4How does that explain the fact that you're not wearing any pants?
Speaker 3Oh that?
Oh?
Whenever I cook, I need I need my undercarriage to flow freely in the wind.
I'll I'll turn it into a pumpkin.
I don't know, don't ask.
Don't ask me that you're not supposed to see it.
You're not supposed to see a chef in their prime, in the in the working environment.
Thank you, Please leave my kitchen.
Speaker 1Incredible, incredible, beautiful, beautiful.
Speaker 3It's true.
I've been working on Corcus all weekend.
I'm glad I was paying off to stay.
Speaker 2How's Stacy finding.
Speaker 3That not a fan, not a fan, does not like it?
Speaker 1I'm sorry, questions.
Speaker 3No, not at all.
I'm I'm protecting her from it for now.
I just don't.
I honestly think she would like it more than JoJo's, but I have to protect her from it.
I don't.
I don't you know, I I I think I know too much about where this will go, and I don't want to.
Speaker 1I will say to this stuff we've kind of we've kind of experienced.
Speaker 3Now, Yeah, yeah, I just I don't know if yeah, I don't, I don't she's you know, she's not a big cartoon person.
Speaker 2I'm not listening, but there was a moment of self recognition.
Speaker 3Then yeah, come on, we're watching Common Side Effects, which is a cartoon and it's extremely good, and you know, let this maybe be like a sort of ice breaking sorry cue breaking thing right where you know, an onboarding two more sophisticated stuff.
Speaker 1So these three young maidens are basically like Griffith is so fucking cool and he is so much and they're literally like, I wish I was as beautiful as Griffith, And I mean, who amongst us has taught that at some point he's luscious?
Speaker 3Hats Yeah, I mean I know why you dye your hair like that, now, John, I get it.
Speaker 1Yeah, you know, I was thinking about this the other day and I think it's one part I like silver haired anime villains and one part of Spike from Buffy.
I just think he's a cool dude put on like kind of trench trench coaty kind of thing.
The other day and I looked myself in the mirror and I was like, this is like a bad Spike cosplay.
Speaker 2Mm hmmm, I think you look great.
Speaker 4Yeah, I think you should try it.
Speaker 1Well, we'll give it a think.
Okay, So this dude basically calls across the courtyard at these women stop that, like yeah, to.
Speaker 2Me, leave me alone.
Speaker 1I'm standing right here hello, and they're just like oh sh sorry loud As Caucus, and then we get the eggheaded Noble once again.
And I love this scene because the egg headed Noble just keeps trying to bring him there, and the guy's like, wait, did you say that he's he's protecting the king and then and the Ediquetta guy is like, yes, well you see the thing about the band of Hawk protecting the king and then he's just like that's bullshit, that's bullshit and I won't stand for him.
And guy's like, yes, but perhaps there's an opportunity here and he's like, fucking Griffith's he can't get to it.
Speaker 4It's just sowhelmed.
Speaker 1This scene is five minutes long of just him being like that's bullshit.
Speaker 4And the best part of it is when he when egghead Man reveals some like cunning suggestion to him, he does the eye opening thing.
But because this idiot doesn't get it.
He has to reveal multiple times, and he keeps having to do the eye opening thing.
Speaker 1He kind of gives it like this, like he keeps one eye close.
Cool.
Speaker 3Yeah, Yeah.
He's like, I'm telling you to kill him.
What what else do I have to say.
Speaker 1When I stamped a wrong arrow?
Speaker 4When I say, what do you think?
He mean?
Sneaky tid?
Speaker 3You're dense.
I act like you've been here before.
Speaker 2Dude, come on.
Speaker 1Like he even gets angry and he like grabs him by the scruff of the shirt and he's like, I hate that this is happening.
Why are you telling me this?
And then several minutes later, the dude's like, shure would be a shame if a stray, poisonous arrow hit Griffith.
Speaker 4While he's in the face.
Speaker 2Yeah, he just stumbled into that.
Speaker 4And the guy was like, well, what do you mean?
Speaker 1And then after another several minutes he's like, wait a minute, there is.
Speaker 3He's an Arrow's Johnny's like, when you say, when you say a straight arrow, I just I want to make sure we're on the same page here.
You mean shoot him in the shoot him in the body within arrow?
Correct?
Speaker 1Yes, And that arrow, that's that's where that's That's where I'm lost.
Where does the poison go on the arrow?
Speaker 4Yeah?
Speaker 3What do I have to buy it?
Speaker 2How does it go on the feather?
Speaker 3Do you know an alchemist who who provides the poison?
Speaker 1Just so clear, it would be us doing this.
We're not just hoping it will happen.
Speaker 2So you know if one of us, if one of us takes the falls with this, we both go down.
Speaker 3One of us has to do this, right?
Is it?
You just making sure?
I feel like you're the idea.
Speaker 2Guy, But I'm the I'm the I'm gonna get stuff done guy.
Speaker 4Now where would I find an arrow?
Speaker 3Those are the pointy things?
Speaker 1Oh and the episode I.
Speaker 4Just want to I just wanted to cut to another scene where he's got the boat and he's trying to put a sword in there and he's like.
Speaker 3What the yeah, and he's like this isn't working.
Speaker 2Someone told me it was point I don't know, And.
Speaker 1That brings this episode again.
I would say, not like, you know, it's a little bit of a slow episode.
But I really like the slow episode.
I think we do a lot of interesting stuff and I think, like, you know, Griffith's momentum going up the noble Ranks is very intriguing and like as that changes his relationship with Guts and Cask.
I think they all feel like they're kind of they're kind of losing their boy a little bit.
And I don't know, I just I was watching this this morning and just being like, man, I fucking love Bersark so much.
Speaker 3Yeah, I'm enjoying it.
I I gotta say, I think, you know, it's so much more linear than JoJo's, Like it's so much more on the rails, Like I can't even be like, I'm I'm surprised by its like competency in narrative competency right like where I'm just like.
Speaker 2It has been referred to as one of the greatest pieces of fiction of all time.
Speaker 3All Right, I mean that that's good to hear.
I think coming from JoJo's it is like, you know, the most grounding of.
Speaker 1Yeah, because I love it is like there's a vampire in Egypt and then forty episodes of high Jinks and then there.
Speaker 2Is and also just like.
Speaker 3Yeah, and the trigonometry that's involved in every like scheme is just you know, you get it's exhausting.
It's like when you where this is like, oh, this is building.
Speaker 4It's like when you write a story as a kid and then carry on rank stories as an adult, and you go back and read your own story when you're a child and you're like, oh, I was just this freestyling here making people fun.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1So, Jeff, I'm curious where right now, where is Berserk standing to you in terms of, like, you know, we would watch One Punch Main, We've watched Cowboy Bebop, We've watched JoJo's.
How's how's Berserk stuck it up to them?
Speaker 3I'm very fond of Cowboy Bebop, So I think that holds a very unique and special place for me, you know, Judge, I think JoJo's is like the nice JoJo's is like the regular, like old, you know, reliable anime.
I can kind of it's it's the comfort food of anime, you know.
Yeah, in many ways, in more ways than one, where I am.
I feel like I'm unlocking a new level of awareness and appreciation with Berserk that I've not been able to achieve with the other shows We've watched.
One Punch Man.
I was it was a great little departure for sure, big fan.
Uh, But this is this is on a different level.
I will I will say that we.
Speaker 1Are going places next next time, so very.
Speaker 4Good.

Speaker 2As many voices?
Speaker 3I'm sorry?
What was that, Lucy?
Speaker 2We haven't had this many?
Like, I don't know, We've got Caucuses recurring character in every episode of our podcasts, Like why have we not had that kind of thing?
Speaker 3Before like, well, I don't know.
Speaker 1I'm sorry, Chefs just reached a level of proficiency with anime that he's unlocked to new ability.
Speaker 2He's just like, by the time we do next season of this, Jeff will be in anime.
Can we make that?
Can we make that a thing where it's like we have to get Jeff in an anime?
Speaker 4Oh?
Speaker 3I mean, that's just I'm getting flustered just thinking about it.
I can't handle it.
It's too much.
It's too many cool words and a phrase.
