Hey, welcome to the Overshare Pamphlet. My name
00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:26.760
is Rob and I'm the host of this one -man show
00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:31.230
coming to you every Monday. 6am UK time, and
00:00:31.230 --> 00:00:35.369
I'm back. I apologise immediately, because I
00:00:35.369 --> 00:00:37.990
did say, to be honest, that I was going to be
00:00:37.990 --> 00:00:42.630
pretty busy this past couple of weekends. I've
00:00:42.630 --> 00:00:45.649
been travelling, so it's been quite the storm
00:00:45.649 --> 00:00:48.829
to keep up with everything, but I'm officially
00:00:48.829 --> 00:00:57.600
back in the zone. So, yeah, like, you know. I'm
00:00:57.600 --> 00:00:59.359
back, I'm back, and I want to discuss, quite
00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:01.859
a lot has happened in the past week or so, so
00:01:01.859 --> 00:01:03.840
I just wanted to, like, draw, like, a little
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:07.000
entertainment roundup, like, because it's all
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:11.120
about, you know, well, Euphoria coming to an
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:15.709
end, and, of course, Backrooms, and... obsession
00:01:15.709 --> 00:01:18.510
still making records left and right and just
00:01:18.510 --> 00:01:21.430
you know changing the industry forever and then
00:01:21.430 --> 00:01:23.750
also of course we're venturing a bit into video
00:01:23.750 --> 00:01:26.829
games with um the traitor for god of war love
00:01:26.829 --> 00:01:31.569
a so that's there's a lot there's a lot to discuss
00:01:31.569 --> 00:01:36.790
there's a lot to think about um and you know
00:01:36.790 --> 00:01:39.790
i will just go over like you know all three stories
00:01:39.790 --> 00:01:44.260
basically as best as i can uh because It is important
00:01:44.260 --> 00:01:47.319
to go through them. I think they're all, in their
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:50.620
own right, quite interesting pieces for entertainment
00:01:50.620 --> 00:01:57.620
purposes in that sense. So, I think we're going
00:01:57.620 --> 00:02:04.040
to start first with the Obsession X Backroom
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:06.980
story in that sense. I did have my previous episode
00:02:06.980 --> 00:02:11.280
on Obsession specifically. So, I think it's fitting
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:18.259
to just continue on with that. So, yeah, let's
00:02:18.259 --> 00:02:20.819
start off with that. Well, I haven't watched
00:02:20.819 --> 00:02:24.539
Obsession yet. I'm going to watch it next weekend,
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:28.740
coming up. I need to watch it. I've wanted to
00:02:28.740 --> 00:02:32.979
watch this for ages. What's very interesting
00:02:32.979 --> 00:02:34.740
about both of these movies, well, apart from
00:02:34.740 --> 00:02:36.479
being, of course, two horror movies, of course,
00:02:36.500 --> 00:02:39.240
that are made with a very small budget, I mean,
00:02:39.610 --> 00:02:41.669
obsession takes the cake because that has like
00:02:41.669 --> 00:02:47.509
what 750k as a budget but also you know even
00:02:47.509 --> 00:02:52.550
back rooms was made just um i think 10 million
00:02:52.550 --> 00:02:55.610
something like that very small budget compared
00:02:55.610 --> 00:02:57.789
to like you know other movies that are made with
00:02:57.789 --> 00:03:00.810
much much more uh but yeah the commonalities
00:03:00.810 --> 00:03:03.449
between these movies are crazy i mean the stories
00:03:03.449 --> 00:03:07.520
themselves on a first glance, they don't even
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:11.120
overlap. But there are, like, threads between
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:12.719
the two movies that are quite similar in terms
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:16.699
of, like, the male protagonist and how he behaves
00:03:16.699 --> 00:03:19.219
towards female characters specifically. Like,
00:03:19.300 --> 00:03:21.960
they're very similar in that tone. They're about
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:23.280
two completely different things, of course, but...
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:29.719
Yeah, so... But there's all... There are quite
00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:31.599
a few commonalities when it comes to that. But
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:35.800
I think apart from that, it's just... the um
00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:39.099
basically the like the performance at the box
00:03:39.099 --> 00:03:41.639
office and the thinking outside of the box of
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:45.219
it all and making very successful movies very
00:03:45.219 --> 00:03:49.300
low budget so that which means also in turn like
00:03:49.300 --> 00:03:52.479
you know great investments for everyone involved
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:54.240
in a movie because they're earning so much money
00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:57.840
out of this um and of course the biggest element
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:01.979
of it all is the age of the directors uh Backroom's
00:04:01.979 --> 00:04:06.439
director is only 20 years old and Obsession's
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:11.539
director is 26. So they're both quite young.
00:04:11.740 --> 00:04:15.419
I think these are both their first full -length
00:04:15.419 --> 00:04:18.740
features in that sense. So it's amazing that
00:04:18.740 --> 00:04:20.800
they both also are not cannibalizing each other
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:26.060
at the screens. They're actually giving a two
00:04:26.060 --> 00:04:28.240
-hander for the box office because the people
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:30.500
are... Going to one and watch the other as well.
00:04:30.620 --> 00:04:32.459
They want to compare. Talk about both of them.
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:37.339
So it's a very healthy. Environment at the moment.
00:04:37.620 --> 00:04:40.639
And they are making so much money. The opening
00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:43.439
for Obsession was. As I refer. Backrooms was
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:46.100
incredible. I think it made over 100 million.
00:04:46.180 --> 00:04:51.639
Which was insane. And on the other hand. While
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:55.399
Obsession started off. With a smaller opening.
00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:59.300
Load full transcript
In that sense. Every weekend it keeps on. earning
00:04:59.300 --> 00:05:01.980
more than the previous weekend, which is unheard
00:05:01.980 --> 00:05:07.500
of for a movie. It's ridiculous. It's crazy.
00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:12.000
And it's just very, very, very, very telling
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:14.480
about what Hollywood needs to do at the moment,
00:05:14.500 --> 00:05:16.980
which is basically, like, you know, stop going
00:05:16.980 --> 00:05:19.560
for formulas that are, like, you know, trite
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:21.740
and they're very, like, you know, predictable
00:05:21.740 --> 00:05:24.500
and go for, like, something a bit more interesting
00:05:24.500 --> 00:05:29.259
and to do trust, you know. the arts to go um
00:05:29.259 --> 00:05:37.959
all out with that um so yeah that that that's
00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:40.079
a great lesson to be learned by hollywood i think
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:42.519
um the movies are a bit different when it comes
00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:44.899
to like the how they were created and who are
00:05:44.899 --> 00:05:48.620
involved in in these movies like uh a24 is backing
00:05:48.620 --> 00:05:53.220
um What helped to produce the movie, the Backrooms
00:05:53.220 --> 00:05:55.139
movie. And there's other screenwriters that are
00:05:55.139 --> 00:05:57.279
very, very famous in this. And very important,
00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:02.220
of course, Oscar nominees in the movie. While
00:06:02.220 --> 00:06:05.480
Obsession is fully made in -house and then was
00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:08.699
acquired for distribution by another studio.
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:11.699
Which makes it even more, in my opinion, more
00:06:11.699 --> 00:06:15.120
outstanding for the way it's having such a big
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:23.209
splash in the box office. So, yeah. that's incredible,
00:06:23.410 --> 00:06:28.069
like, uh, um, I think it's just, like, if you're
00:06:28.069 --> 00:06:30.050
a fan, well, I guess even if you're not a fan
00:06:30.050 --> 00:06:32.209
of horrors, you should just, like, try and give
00:06:32.209 --> 00:06:37.529
it a go, maybe go with friends, um, like, they're,
00:06:37.649 --> 00:06:39.769
I'm sure, I mean, as I said, I haven't watched
00:06:39.769 --> 00:06:41.430
Backrooms, but I'm sure even that's gonna be
00:06:41.430 --> 00:06:44.670
a very pleasant experience, and they are changing
00:06:44.670 --> 00:06:46.930
the game, like, that's just the way it is, I
00:06:46.930 --> 00:06:50.029
think they've already greenlit a sequel for Backrooms,
00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:54.279
and they're planning to do, like, a TV show about
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:57.819
the One Willow Wish Forum obsession as well,
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:00.620
like, these things are generating a lot of interest,
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:04.620
and it's funny to see, specifically, horror movies
00:07:04.620 --> 00:07:07.120
being so successful, because, I mean, usually,
00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:12.959
just by nature, they're quite polarizing movies,
00:07:13.100 --> 00:07:14.860
because they're horror movies, you know, they're
00:07:14.860 --> 00:07:16.920
supposed to be scary and everything else, but
00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:21.199
because, you know, young people, are really enjoying
00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:23.300
this movie these both of these movies they're
00:07:23.300 --> 00:07:26.139
both drawing in like a crowd that is like below
00:07:26.139 --> 00:07:29.459
35 mostly which is also again unheard of and
00:07:29.459 --> 00:07:30.899
the fact that they're making so much money out
00:07:30.899 --> 00:07:33.379
of that means that like practically everyone
00:07:33.379 --> 00:07:36.939
under 35 is going to watch these movies um so
00:07:36.939 --> 00:07:42.480
that's insane i'm i'm just so um so you know
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:46.920
all of this um yeah I mean, again, apart from,
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:49.439
of course, giving a lot of credit to the directors,
00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:51.759
I think this is going to be an incredible opportunity
00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:54.660
for the lesser -known actors in Obsession, of
00:07:54.660 --> 00:07:56.079
course. They're going to have, I think, a lot
00:07:56.079 --> 00:08:03.899
of great feedback from this. And I think, despite
00:08:03.899 --> 00:08:06.319
being able to tell that this is sort of like
00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:10.000
a first timer for both of them, from both the
00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:14.439
directors, the potential here is insane. By any
00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:15.759
stretch of the imagination, these two movies
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:19.040
are not, like, completely new in thought, if
00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:20.779
that makes any sense. Like, some of the tropes
00:08:20.779 --> 00:08:23.639
in these movies are classic horror tropes, like,
00:08:23.740 --> 00:08:28.139
you know, the, um, you know, I don't know if
00:08:28.139 --> 00:08:30.199
I can say that without getting into spoilers,
00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:33.779
but, um, you'll see it. If you see the movies,
00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:35.080
you know what I'm talking about. There's, like,
00:08:35.179 --> 00:08:37.639
some tropes that are quite common in horror movies,
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:40.379
but I think what's really... captivating is the
00:08:40.379 --> 00:08:43.500
acting the directing the the cinematography of
00:08:43.500 --> 00:08:47.740
it all the um the story and the emotional performance
00:08:47.740 --> 00:08:54.659
and i think just smaller cues and um scenes that
00:08:54.659 --> 00:08:58.019
are normally wouldn't be put in like you know
00:08:58.019 --> 00:09:02.179
blockbusters or like even more franchising a
00:09:02.179 --> 00:09:05.500
franchise type of uh movies it's less gimmicky
00:09:05.500 --> 00:09:07.580
and it's more like um you can tell it's an they're
00:09:07.580 --> 00:09:09.919
both like indeed natured the movies they feel
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:12.679
and even though you know background is definitely
00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:16.379
like done on a larger scale but they both come
00:09:16.379 --> 00:09:19.200
across so well from the performances and from
00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:21.539
the directing and everything else they're generally
00:09:21.539 --> 00:09:25.639
like you know gems when it comes to that so i
00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:27.220
definitely recommend going to watch both of them
00:09:27.220 --> 00:09:29.860
i mean hard movies or maybe you know wait for
00:09:29.860 --> 00:09:31.159
digital and you can watch it at home in your
00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:36.500
comfort zone that is um totally fine as well
00:09:36.500 --> 00:09:44.039
um yeah so very good very very good um i'm very
00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:46.539
much looking forward to seeing backrooms as well
00:09:46.539 --> 00:09:50.480
i've heard that out of the two obsession is better
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:52.399
in terms of story or like everything else and
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:55.559
like twists and everything else and acting like
00:09:55.559 --> 00:10:00.240
the the just the concept of it all but i do feel
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:02.370
like it's gonna be a great ride for me either
00:10:02.370 --> 00:10:06.889
way so uh i'm ready renee is in of course a back
00:10:06.889 --> 00:10:10.269
room so i'm gonna be standing up so yes exactly
00:10:10.269 --> 00:10:12.830
exactly so i mean it's gonna be interesting to
00:10:12.830 --> 00:10:15.730
see how it like how long they keep this streak
00:10:15.730 --> 00:10:17.549
going because like obsession is still growing
00:10:17.549 --> 00:10:19.570
at a box office and it's still generating a lot
00:10:19.570 --> 00:10:21.590
of money a lot of revenue and i think they have
00:10:21.590 --> 00:10:25.070
crossed globally the 100 million mark as well
00:10:25.070 --> 00:10:28.830
more than that i think so that's ridiculously
00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:32.139
good and they're getting all the money back and
00:10:32.139 --> 00:10:34.740
you know they should definitely give bonuses
00:10:34.740 --> 00:10:37.899
to everyone involved in obsession and same thing
00:10:37.899 --> 00:10:39.799
goes for back rooms i think they're making quite
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:45.299
uh the revenue out of that so yeah i love when
00:10:45.299 --> 00:10:48.399
like two movies like realistically normal circumstances
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:50.159
these two movies would eat each other up because
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:52.899
they have you know technically the same audience
00:10:52.899 --> 00:10:57.779
and everything else like you know but They're
00:10:57.779 --> 00:10:59.820
coexisting perfectly, which is so good. People
00:10:59.820 --> 00:11:03.480
are taking it as an opportunity to watch both
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:08.039
of them, basically, at the movies. So that's
00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:10.779
amazing. That's just unheard of. They're really,
00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:14.019
really good. And I think also, we were seeing
00:11:14.019 --> 00:11:16.659
online as well, so many headlines about how the
00:11:16.659 --> 00:11:18.279
box office in general has been very healthy this
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:21.200
year. It started off so well that it's matching,
00:11:21.340 --> 00:11:25.600
finally, pre -pandemic levels. i think as of
00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:30.279
now the total box office has made already a billion
00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:35.519
uh dollars um domestically i think which is incredible
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:41.259
so good um i'm very impressed so it seems like
00:11:41.259 --> 00:11:43.759
finally movies are getting back on track they're
00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:45.840
finding ways of getting people in and i think
00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:49.500
that again we should learn lessons from these
00:11:49.500 --> 00:11:51.659
movies like you know to trust more like you know
00:11:51.659 --> 00:11:56.889
more um risky, I guess, ideas, and more interesting
00:11:56.889 --> 00:11:58.870
stories, rather than going for, like, formulas
00:11:58.870 --> 00:12:02.230
that, you know, get the audiences bored, like,
00:12:02.269 --> 00:12:03.870
you finally, we finally, Hollywood has finally
00:12:03.870 --> 00:12:05.330
managed to get the attention of the audiences
00:12:05.330 --> 00:12:07.110
again, like, specifically going to the movies,
00:12:07.129 --> 00:12:09.509
rather than staying at home, and that's also
00:12:09.509 --> 00:12:12.169
because, I think, streaming shows are faltering
00:12:12.169 --> 00:12:14.610
at the moment, there's, the choice has become
00:12:14.610 --> 00:12:17.990
too much that there's literally, you know, an
00:12:17.990 --> 00:12:19.669
immobilization, I think, on that sense, which
00:12:19.669 --> 00:12:21.750
is very interesting, because before this, we
00:12:21.750 --> 00:12:25.700
would have been all in shambles, because of,
00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:27.600
you know, how much easier it was to watch stuff
00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:29.259
at home. But I think because now it's become
00:12:29.259 --> 00:12:32.700
so streamlined, there's just too much stuff coming
00:12:32.700 --> 00:12:34.799
out every two seconds that people are, like,
00:12:34.820 --> 00:12:38.700
waterboarded. And while the movies are a bit
00:12:38.700 --> 00:12:40.279
more predictable in terms of releases, like,
00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:41.960
there's not that much coming out in terms of
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:49.240
movies, you know? So, yeah, that's the very interesting
00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:52.899
thing. Very excited to see how these movies continue
00:12:52.899 --> 00:12:58.740
to perform. And maybe we'll get some interesting
00:12:58.740 --> 00:13:02.539
nominations in the awards season at the end of
00:13:02.539 --> 00:13:04.159
the year. We'll see. They're quite far away usually
00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:06.159
than to forget about these things by the end
00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:09.600
of the year. But never say never. Never say never,
00:13:09.740 --> 00:13:15.519
girl. Yeah, okay. So next I want to talk about
00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:18.529
Euphoria. i
haven't talked probably about euphoria
00:13:18.529 --> 00:13:22.330
the way i wanted to because i'm still very lukewarm
00:13:22.330 --> 00:13:25.570
about it i'm hot and cold about it every now
00:13:25.570 --> 00:13:27.110
and then i change my opinion and i'm not really
00:13:27.110 --> 00:13:29.970
entirely sure how i feel about it but what we
00:13:29.970 --> 00:13:32.690
can say i guess is that the season this season
00:13:32.690 --> 00:13:35.289
finale was actually even the show's finale so
00:13:35.289 --> 00:13:37.090
that the thing is done they're not going to do
00:13:37.090 --> 00:13:39.049
a new season they've confirmed it this is it
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:41.820
And, I mean, I think it's finally time to talk
00:13:41.820 --> 00:13:43.240
about spoilers as well because it's been out
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:45.460
for a while now, the finale, so I can finally
00:13:45.460 --> 00:13:49.340
talk about it in a more spoilery way. And my
00:13:49.340 --> 00:13:51.379
overall, I guess, thought about the season was
00:13:51.379 --> 00:14:00.580
that it was adventurous in terms of, like, a
00:14:00.580 --> 00:14:03.500
new flavor, I guess, brought to the show. Like,
00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:06.320
it doesn't feel... like the euphoria and that's
00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:08.220
both a good thing and a bad thing i guess that's
00:14:08.220 --> 00:14:12.600
my take um the good part is that you know every
00:14:12.600 --> 00:14:14.240
episode as people were saying like feels like
00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:17.299
a completely different story like a it's like
00:14:17.299 --> 00:14:20.220
a movie each each uh episode a different genre
00:14:20.220 --> 00:14:22.879
and everything else which is so cool to see and
00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:24.340
i think that you can tell that there's a lot
00:14:24.340 --> 00:14:27.539
of um tarantino influence in this whole season
00:14:27.539 --> 00:14:31.659
like from the western elements to the, you know,
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:34.139
risque topics and everything else, and the shots
00:14:34.139 --> 00:14:36.100
and everything else, you know, like, the strippers
00:14:36.100 --> 00:14:38.679
and all that, and so that's, take it as you will,
00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:40.539
both a good and a bad thing as well, I would
00:14:40.539 --> 00:14:45.480
say, um, and, you know, some actors this time
00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:48.720
around had a bigger chance, like, a bigger opportunity
00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:50.440
in terms of, like, showcasing their acting, while
00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:54.279
many others were put in the backseat, and, um,
00:14:54.419 --> 00:14:58.789
that was, you know, interesting. i wonder why
00:14:58.789 --> 00:15:02.450
that happened if stuff was caught last minute
00:15:02.450 --> 00:15:05.129
or not there are a lot of questions surrounding
00:15:05.129 --> 00:15:06.850
that we don't even know the answers to that but
00:15:06.850 --> 00:15:10.289
like you know namely you know hunter schieffer
00:15:10.289 --> 00:15:14.190
in the season was quite the ghost like she had
00:15:14.190 --> 00:15:17.889
very few opportunities to like actually do anything
00:15:17.889 --> 00:15:19.889
with her character and we don't know again if
00:15:19.889 --> 00:15:22.269
there's more stuff that has been cut out or if
00:15:22.269 --> 00:15:25.350
it was just you know how we went we don't know
00:15:25.350 --> 00:15:29.200
about that we don't know for sure um but i would
00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:30.580
say that was quite disappointing too because
00:15:30.580 --> 00:15:36.879
um like what the hell so yeah but again like
00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:39.330
the bad the bad aspect of it all is that It also
00:15:39.330 --> 00:15:42.090
doesn't feel like Euphoria in many, many ways.
00:15:42.429 --> 00:15:45.070
Like, in some ways, you know, there's stuff there,
00:15:45.129 --> 00:15:46.769
like, you know, whenever the characters are all
00:15:46.769 --> 00:15:48.490
together, that's where Euphoria starts hitting
00:15:48.490 --> 00:15:50.330
again. Like, there's that scene where they're
00:15:50.330 --> 00:15:52.450
near the pool and they're doing a photo shoot
00:15:52.450 --> 00:15:54.889
for Cassie and Lexi's, like, you know, saying
00:15:54.889 --> 00:15:56.850
stuff to all of them and judging them hard. That
00:15:56.850 --> 00:15:59.710
felt like Euphoria for me, at least. But I feel
00:15:59.710 --> 00:16:01.049
like that's the entire point of the season, that
00:16:01.049 --> 00:16:05.139
there's very few... there are very few chances
00:16:05.139 --> 00:16:07.240
where the characters actually interact between
00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:10.019
them and it's so weird because we started off
00:16:10.019 --> 00:16:13.399
both seasons of euphoria the first two with them
00:16:13.399 --> 00:16:17.179
being interacting all the time and the best part
00:16:17.179 --> 00:16:18.879
about euphoria was actually seeing how they would
00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:20.980
interact with characters and how they would react
00:16:20.980 --> 00:16:24.620
to certain things and certain information well
00:16:24.620 --> 00:16:26.419
here it seems like everyone is just like off
00:16:26.419 --> 00:16:31.500
on their own like side quest and they rarely
00:16:32.090 --> 00:16:35.009
connect together like literally the the only
00:16:35.009 --> 00:16:38.110
thorough line like the only connecting line in
00:16:38.110 --> 00:16:40.610
this sense is just roost leaping on other people's
00:16:40.610 --> 00:16:43.049
couches which is like it's turned into a whole
00:16:43.049 --> 00:16:46.929
meme on the internet but even then it just doesn't
00:16:46.929 --> 00:16:50.009
feel like she's connecting them because at the
00:16:50.009 --> 00:16:51.509
end of the day everyone is living their own fucking
00:16:51.509 --> 00:16:55.009
life and the finale sort of reinforces that because
00:16:55.009 --> 00:16:58.970
so many things are left uh unsaid and in the
00:16:58.970 --> 00:17:03.549
open and everything else and It
was just. You
00:17:03.549 --> 00:17:06.529
know. In a way. I think it was disappointing.
00:17:06.789 --> 00:17:08.890
To be honest. The ending. I would say. Like.
00:17:09.509 --> 00:17:11.130
It could have gone much worse. Of course. But
00:17:11.130 --> 00:17:12.670
it could have gone. Also much. Much better. Like.
00:17:12.730 --> 00:17:15.269
You know. I do. I do think. The episode. Where
00:17:15.269 --> 00:17:19.029
Nate dies. Is. Interesting. It sucks. They didn't
00:17:19.029 --> 00:17:22.529
have much. During the season. Either. But. You
00:17:22.529 --> 00:17:24.589
know. That was. A good twist. I think that. I
00:17:24.589 --> 00:17:26.230
wasn't really expecting. That immediately. To
00:17:26.230 --> 00:17:28.809
happen. In that. In that. Second to last episode.
00:17:29.710 --> 00:17:32.779
And then. The Rue death. Thing was. I guess it
00:17:32.779 --> 00:17:38.220
was coming. But, you know, like, Rue and Jules
00:17:38.220 --> 00:17:40.759
specifically, their relationship was the center
00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:43.180
point, the whole point of Euphoria. Like, they
00:17:43.180 --> 00:17:45.839
were supposed to, like, you know, mirror Romeo
00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:48.839
and Juliet and do all these things. And, like,
00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:51.539
it was, you know, this type of love that returns
00:17:51.539 --> 00:17:55.900
and is, you know... Everlasting and like, you
00:17:55.900 --> 00:17:58.079
know, even if it's toxic, it will come back and
00:17:58.079 --> 00:18:00.099
all that. And we didn't really see it coming
00:18:00.099 --> 00:18:01.700
back this time around. You know what I mean?
00:18:01.740 --> 00:18:05.180
Like there were, there was one hookup situation
00:18:05.180 --> 00:18:08.599
scene there, but everything else was just like
00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:13.220
bland. And I don't know. I craved the interaction
00:18:13.220 --> 00:18:14.700
between the characters the most and we never,
00:18:14.740 --> 00:18:17.200
the main cast at least. And we never really seemed
00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:19.619
to have gotten that. We just went off onto so
00:18:19.619 --> 00:18:21.559
many different things. Like it seems like the
00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:25.839
scale was too big for what you actually, was
00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:28.500
you know like you know that the the cartel situation
00:18:28.500 --> 00:18:31.380
like that was definitely that took the front
00:18:31.380 --> 00:18:34.720
seat most of most of all and uh ended up basically
00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:37.779
being the thing that killed rue and um you know
00:18:37.779 --> 00:18:39.960
new characters coming in and taking more spotlight
00:18:39.960 --> 00:18:41.980
and like you know more they have more lines and
00:18:41.980 --> 00:18:43.440
certain other characters which is ridiculous
00:18:43.440 --> 00:18:46.579
the rosalia character was fun but why does she
00:18:46.579 --> 00:18:51.339
have more Of a, you know, function in the season
00:18:51.339 --> 00:18:53.359
than someone like Jules, for example. I don't
00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:57.799
get that. So, yeah. I mean, the only thing I
00:18:57.799 --> 00:18:59.359
really, really liked about this season was the
00:18:59.359 --> 00:19:02.420
Cassie and Maddie situation. It was so interesting
00:19:02.420 --> 00:19:05.200
to see how they developed their friendship. And
00:19:05.200 --> 00:19:07.480
despite whatever happened between them, they
00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:10.400
somehow found each other again. And, yes, Maddie
00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:12.440
used Cassie to get a lot of money, but then Maddie
00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:15.019
is deep down, I think, a very good person and
00:19:15.019 --> 00:19:20.329
still wanted to save her friend from... the turkish
00:19:20.329 --> 00:19:23.089
mafia or whatever and she did and she literally
00:19:23.089 --> 00:19:25.569
sold herself to almo for one million dollars
00:19:25.569 --> 00:19:27.049
and there were scenes where she like you know
00:19:27.049 --> 00:19:29.490
when he dies at the end and gets killed by ali
00:19:29.490 --> 00:19:33.490
and she's free it's such a you know cathartic
00:19:33.490 --> 00:19:37.670
moment and such a satisfying moment um so i really
00:19:37.670 --> 00:19:39.470
enjoyed their storyline specifically because
00:19:39.470 --> 00:19:41.529
it's the only one that like really developed
00:19:41.529 --> 00:19:43.670
anything from the previous seasons and added
00:19:43.670 --> 00:19:47.859
stuff layers to it um everything else was mid
00:19:47.859 --> 00:19:51.380
like the acting was great the acting was impeccable
00:19:51.380 --> 00:19:55.140
the the shots like the cinematography the cinematography
00:19:55.140 --> 00:19:58.200
was amazing and yes the labyrinth music was missing
00:19:58.200 --> 00:20:00.259
a lot of scenes could have like you know used
00:20:00.259 --> 00:20:02.460
a little bit more of an interesting soundtrack
00:20:02.460 --> 00:20:08.420
and sadly we missed that as well um and you know
00:20:08.420 --> 00:20:11.759
like literally so many missed opportunities even
00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:14.789
the wedding thing could have been so much more
00:20:14.789 --> 00:20:17.029
of a gag if they actually went for something
00:20:17.029 --> 00:20:19.329
concrete there and it turns out like the the
00:20:19.329 --> 00:20:21.269
takeaway from that was more like what happened
00:20:21.269 --> 00:20:22.849
after the wedding rather than what happened at
00:20:22.849 --> 00:20:24.390
the wedding which is ridiculous like that's the
00:20:24.390 --> 00:20:25.809
only time that all the characters are in one
00:20:25.809 --> 00:20:29.730
room and even then who leaves way too early and
00:20:29.730 --> 00:20:31.549
there's just she goes off again on one of her
00:20:31.549 --> 00:20:34.369
side quests it's just it felt very disconnected
00:20:34.369 --> 00:20:37.829
like disconnected in terms of like between the
00:20:37.829 --> 00:20:40.750
characters the thor like the storyline was there
00:20:40.750 --> 00:20:43.299
like the cartel thing but we don't care about
00:20:43.299 --> 00:20:45.099
that like we're not watching euphoria because
00:20:45.099 --> 00:20:50.960
of the cartel drama and ruby now you know a mole
00:20:50.960 --> 00:20:53.980
and uh everything else i i don't care like we
00:20:53.980 --> 00:20:57.519
let you we don't care um so yeah disappointing
00:20:57.519 --> 00:21:01.640
that the the show low uh you know loves i guess
00:21:01.640 --> 00:21:03.920
like i think i guess it lost let's just say that
00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:08.470
it lost its main appeal it just went into a completely
00:21:08.470 --> 00:21:11.049
new dimension that was interesting to see in
00:21:11.049 --> 00:21:13.690
terms of how it was executed it was fine and
00:21:13.690 --> 00:21:15.210
it was interesting to see like different genres
00:21:15.210 --> 00:21:18.230
combined into the the show the season but it
00:21:18.230 --> 00:21:20.589
just didn't really give us what we wanted so
00:21:20.589 --> 00:21:24.450
at least that's what i think but yeah but again
00:21:24.450 --> 00:21:28.430
zendaya amazing actress uh alexa demi please
00:21:28.430 --> 00:21:32.049
book more stuff because you you you're so fierce
00:21:32.049 --> 00:21:34.930
like yeah at least i can say that the fashion
00:21:34.930 --> 00:21:38.730
this season was still amazing maddie carried
00:21:38.730 --> 00:21:41.390
like all of her fits were amazing even even to
00:21:41.390 --> 00:21:43.250
be honest even jewels when she was in the scenes
00:21:43.250 --> 00:21:46.670
in the few scenes that she had she was dressed
00:21:46.670 --> 00:21:48.829
to the gods she was incredible and i actually
00:21:48.829 --> 00:21:51.869
have to be honest i digged the the makeup people
00:21:51.869 --> 00:21:53.269
were saying like it's not a flash it's not whatever
00:21:53.269 --> 00:21:56.470
but that's that's the point like this the the
00:21:56.470 --> 00:22:00.099
the makeup has to match What the current new
00:22:00.099 --> 00:22:01.839
vibe of the season is. And I think it really
00:22:01.839 --> 00:22:05.079
did. It was more mature. More sultry. More dramatic.
00:22:05.259 --> 00:22:11.359
More you know. Like action movie type of makeup.
00:22:11.539 --> 00:22:13.960
Which is very interesting. So I really actually
00:22:13.960 --> 00:22:18.099
enjoyed the makeup quite a lot. But yeah. I'm
00:22:18.099 --> 00:22:19.420
glad at least they finished with this season.
00:22:19.500 --> 00:22:21.359
Because it could have gotten much much worse.
00:22:21.599 --> 00:22:25.779
If we continued. And sad to see Rugo. I think
00:22:25.779 --> 00:22:30.490
she was starting slowly to like. actually wanting
00:22:30.490 --> 00:22:33.430
to be sober and like you know getting into redemption
00:22:33.430 --> 00:22:36.789
arc but she couldn't even do that um but it sucks
00:22:36.789 --> 00:22:40.630
and it's sad but yeah it's it's the end it's
00:22:40.630 --> 00:22:45.069
the end it's the end anyways now let's go to
00:22:45.069 --> 00:22:47.650
the last part which is you know god of war lafayette
00:22:47.650 --> 00:22:50.450
this is you know a bit uh adventurous for me
00:22:50.450 --> 00:22:52.009
because i rarely talk about video games on this
00:22:52.009 --> 00:22:54.569
channel but on this channel this podcast but
00:22:54.569 --> 00:22:58.579
um But yeah, I really want to talk about it because
00:22:58.579 --> 00:23:01.180
I think it generated a lot of conversation that
00:23:01.180 --> 00:23:03.480
was both good and bad. Of course, as usual, the
00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:05.180
internet goes a bit bonkers when it comes to
00:23:05.180 --> 00:23:08.339
these things. And I actually can say this. I've
00:23:08.339 --> 00:23:12.799
played God of War games when I was a kid, specifically
00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:16.140
because of my brother. He loved those games,
00:23:16.259 --> 00:23:18.039
but I also liked them, to be honest, because
00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:22.859
I really like the mythology of it all. I like
00:23:22.859 --> 00:23:24.880
Greek mythology, and I really enjoyed the first
00:23:24.880 --> 00:23:32.559
three games. i did not play the nordic gods god
00:23:32.559 --> 00:23:34.880
of war thing the newest the newer games the 2018
00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:37.960
one whatever um so i don't know too much about
00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:39.759
that but my brother played them and i did see
00:23:39.759 --> 00:23:42.700
some game plays everything else so i'm at least
00:23:42.700 --> 00:23:49.279
versed on the game um and this i when i saw it
00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:51.480
i was like my first thought was immediately oh
00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:54.160
this is a spin -off And people are taking it
00:23:54.160 --> 00:23:56.880
in such a wrong way here. They're like saying,
00:23:56.920 --> 00:23:59.160
oh, you make God of War without... Like, basically,
00:23:59.240 --> 00:24:02.039
God of War Lafayette is about Lafayette, which
00:24:02.039 --> 00:24:07.900
is basically Kratos' love interest who died in
00:24:07.900 --> 00:24:14.680
the newer God of War games, the one about the
00:24:14.680 --> 00:24:18.059
Nordic gods. And he also had a child with her
00:24:18.059 --> 00:24:23.029
who's in the games as well. And she died. in
00:24:23.029 --> 00:24:28.730
the first game i believe of the nordic saga whatever
00:24:28.730 --> 00:24:32.829
either way you follow her basically because after
00:24:32.829 --> 00:24:35.130
she dies she goes into this like i think it's
00:24:35.130 --> 00:24:39.049
called everyone that's what they call it um everyone
00:24:39.049 --> 00:24:42.130
something like that basically it's the afterlife
00:24:42.130 --> 00:24:44.750
of the gods where all the gods who die just like
00:24:44.750 --> 00:24:48.109
hang in this like limbo dimension whatever So
00:24:48.109 --> 00:24:50.450
you follow her. And people were so mad. Like,
00:24:50.470 --> 00:24:51.569
they were saying, like, you know, how you make
00:24:51.569 -->
00:24:55.430
a God of War game without Kratos. It's like,
00:24:55.490 --> 00:24:58.609
that's the point of a fucking, you know, spinoff.
00:24:58.609 --> 00:25:03.650
You, like, expand the, you know, the core storyline
00:25:03.650 --> 00:25:05.730
with different characters. Like, it doesn't really
00:25:05.730 --> 00:25:08.650
impact the main games. This is supposed to be
00:25:08.650 --> 00:25:12.190
a spinoff. Like, God. Like, the story actually
00:25:12.190 --> 00:25:15.369
goes... Hand in hand parallel to what the other
00:25:15.369 --> 00:25:17.710
two games are going through. So nothing is going
00:25:17.710 --> 00:25:21.529
to happen to the actual main games. This is literally
00:25:21.529 --> 00:25:23.329
the definition of a spin -off. I just don't get
00:25:23.329 --> 00:25:25.809
why the internet gets so offended. But I actually
00:25:25.809 --> 00:25:29.829
know why. Because it's a woman being the main
00:25:29.829 --> 00:25:31.930
character this time around. And people cannot
00:25:31.930 --> 00:25:36.930
cope with that. It's just ridiculous. I mean,
00:25:36.990 --> 00:25:39.970
video games have always been usually a very male
00:25:39.970 --> 00:25:42.069
-dominated market in that sense. And God of War
00:25:42.069 --> 00:25:44.119
specifically. Which is very interesting because
00:25:44.119 --> 00:25:47.500
usually mythology is quite queer -coded and has
00:25:47.500 --> 00:25:50.619
a lot of queer fans. But, you know, God of War
00:25:50.619 --> 00:25:54.420
has always had a very strong male, straight male
00:25:54.420 --> 00:25:57.200
presence. And to see, I guess, for them to see
00:25:57.200 --> 00:26:01.619
women and queer fans infiltrating their quote
00:26:01.619 --> 00:26:04.380
-unquote space must be like, you know, throwing
00:26:04.380 --> 00:26:07.059
them completely off. Which, again, I don't fucking
00:26:07.059 --> 00:26:13.690
get. It's literally how... you know, markets
00:26:13.690 --> 00:26:15.750
work. Like, you want to expand your market as
00:26:15.750 --> 00:26:19.390
much as you can. And this is how people do it.
00:26:19.450 --> 00:26:21.769
They just come up with, like, you know, spin
00:26:21.769 --> 00:26:25.230
-offs and, like, bonus content for other people
00:26:25.230 --> 00:26:29.490
to try and get new fans in. And I'm sure the
00:26:29.490 --> 00:26:32.250
queer fans and the female fans and female gamers
00:26:32.250 --> 00:26:36.069
will really like this because this is giving
00:26:36.069 --> 00:26:38.190
all you want. Like, you know, it's a very action
00:26:38.190 --> 00:26:41.910
-packed game where you basically play as... this
00:26:41.910 --> 00:26:45.049
female warrior who's gonna go and out there and
00:26:45.049 --> 00:26:47.289
kill a bunch of gods this is the point of the
00:26:47.289 --> 00:26:48.990
full the full thing but they want to make it
00:26:48.990 --> 00:26:51.809
more they want to expand their market basically
00:26:51.809 --> 00:26:53.329
and i think this is the right way
to go about
00:26:53.329 --> 00:26:58.750
it um i'm a big fan also of the motion uh motion
00:26:58.750 --> 00:27:00.710
picture actress the one who like you know plays
00:27:00.710 --> 00:27:04.680
a lot of phase also same girl who played That
00:27:04.680 --> 00:27:09.160
character in True Blood and also she was in Daredevil,
00:27:09.220 --> 00:27:12.220
the ginger girl. She's so good. So, so good.
00:27:13.539 --> 00:27:17.059
But, you know, like, I mean, another topic that
00:27:17.059 --> 00:27:19.440
was, you know, brought forward apart from that,
00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:21.640
the blatant misogyny, of course, it was also,
00:27:21.799 --> 00:27:23.420
well, I guess it's also this ultimate misogyny,
00:27:23.420 --> 00:27:25.960
but how she didn't, they didn't render her properly.
00:27:26.039 --> 00:27:28.119
She looks ugly. They didn't make the character
00:27:28.119 --> 00:27:30.640
sexy enough or whatever. It's like, who cares?
00:27:31.610 --> 00:27:34.569
Who cares? I saw a very good, good tweet. They
00:27:34.569 --> 00:27:36.549
were saying, like, only male fans, like, straight
00:27:36.549 --> 00:27:39.150
male fans get so obsessed about having a woman
00:27:39.150 --> 00:27:41.670
in their game. Like, they really like men so
00:27:41.670 --> 00:27:45.269
much. They really cannot, you know, that's so,
00:27:45.390 --> 00:27:49.930
that's so gay. They really love, they really
00:27:49.930 --> 00:27:51.809
love the mans. You know, that's what it is. Like,
00:27:51.809 --> 00:27:52.990
whenever there's a woman in their game, they
00:27:52.990 --> 00:27:55.450
just start panicking. Like, stop. You know, I
00:27:55.450 --> 00:27:59.269
thought you guys liked women. Oh my god, I'm
00:27:59.269 --> 00:28:02.549
gonna get it. i lynched for that but my opinion
00:28:02.549 --> 00:28:06.049
of the trailer was it looked good it looked you
00:28:06.049 --> 00:28:08.910
know fine i do think they need to like work a
00:28:08.910 --> 00:28:13.490
bit more on the rendering but more like like
00:28:13.490 --> 00:28:16.390
i think her face looks a bit disjointed from
00:28:16.390 --> 00:28:19.130
the rest of the body of the character i think
00:28:19.130 --> 00:28:20.569
they need to work a bit more on that making it
00:28:20.569 --> 00:28:23.650
a bit smoother uh and making the hair also look
00:28:23.650 --> 00:28:27.859
look a bit more smoother it just looks very like
00:28:27.859 --> 00:28:29.740
it's always in the way and it's not really working
00:28:29.740 --> 00:28:32.259
with the character. But apart from that, it's
00:28:32.259 --> 00:28:34.960
a great premise. They're exploring quite a lot
00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:36.480
of new stuff here as well because it's usually
00:28:36.480 --> 00:28:39.079
just about the Greek gods or the new saga is
00:28:39.079 --> 00:28:42.599
about the Nordic gods. But here you have, we
00:28:42.599 --> 00:28:46.059
encounter in the trailer, two gods of war from
00:28:46.059 --> 00:28:48.200
two different mythologies. I think one is a Mongol
00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:50.299
god of war and the other one is an Egyptian.
00:28:50.809 --> 00:28:53.769
goddess of war so very interesting for the mythology
00:28:53.769 --> 00:28:58.609
fans like i'm with you i'm very pumped and we'll
00:28:58.609 --> 00:29:01.369
see how it goes i think you know it needs to
00:29:01.369 --> 00:29:03.130
perform well in terms of like you know sales
00:29:03.130 --> 00:29:05.150
everything but definitely got a lot of spotlight
00:29:05.150 --> 00:29:07.029
like literally this is what the internet has
00:29:07.029 --> 00:29:08.369
been talking about i don't know if you guys are
00:29:08.369 --> 00:29:10.690
in any any of you are into like video games but
00:29:11.289 --> 00:29:14.390
that took over like it went into my tl like nothing
00:29:14.390 --> 00:29:16.589
like on twitter everywhere else like it's just
00:29:16.589 --> 00:29:19.009
really permeating social media in general because
00:29:19.009 --> 00:29:22.930
the reactions are so mixed um and it's primarily
00:29:22.930 --> 00:29:26.710
of course the male female camp i guess that is
00:29:26.710 --> 00:29:29.329
really vocal about it and against it but who
00:29:29.329 --> 00:29:35.329
cares we're here to stay you know um yeah so
00:29:36.299 --> 00:29:38.400
I mean, you can form your own opinion, I guess.
00:29:38.420 --> 00:29:40.519
Go watch the trailer if you are into video games
00:29:40.519 --> 00:29:45.380
at all. And I am saying this with the most respect
00:29:45.380 --> 00:29:47.400
here. I've been a fan of these games for a long
00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:50.240
time. I've been waiting for something like this
00:29:50.240 --> 00:29:52.200
to happen. And I think it's also very smart to
00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:53.859
make a spin -off about this because you don't
00:29:53.859 --> 00:29:57.559
have to necessarily change the main storyline
00:29:57.559 --> 00:30:00.720
while still trying to tap into a new market and
00:30:00.720 --> 00:30:03.220
appease some of the queer fans that are out there
00:30:03.220 --> 00:30:07.339
for this game. Great job. And again, this is
00:30:07.339 --> 00:30:08.720
a spin -off, guys. Don't get so pressed about
00:30:08.720 --> 00:30:10.839
that. If you don't like it, don't buy it, don't
00:30:10.839 --> 00:30:13.859
do whatever. Just stop. Stop moaning for once.
00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:17.480
For once. My god. What happened to, like, you
00:30:17.480 --> 00:30:21.039
know, being allies? My god. Anyways, word to
00:30:21.039 --> 00:30:23.839
the sponsor, and then songs of the week. Don't
00:30:23.839 --> 00:30:39.069
leave. You know those nights where you literally
00:30:39.069 --> 00:30:41.869
are hungry but you absolutely do not want to
00:30:41.869 --> 00:30:44.529
spend 45 minutes cooking and you still want something
00:30:44.529 --> 00:30:49.549
nice and healthy and good? Well, I have a solution
00:30:49.549 --> 00:30:52.289
for you, which is the Cumin Club. They make authentic
00:30:52.289 --> 00:30:55.289
Indian meal kits that are ready in about 5 minutes.
00:30:55.750 --> 00:30:59.009
Like, not 5 minutes on prep and 30 minutes of
00:30:59.009 --> 00:31:01.869
cooking. Like, they're actually quick. The ingredients

recipes... come from chefs who specialize in
00:31:06.980 --> 00:31:09.920
regional indian cuisine what i like is that it
00:31:09.920 --> 00:31:11.880
gives you access to dishes you probably wouldn't
00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:15.539
want to make usually from scratch on a random

of the Week -June 2026, you'll see all the songs
00:32:26.930 --> 00:32:29.589
for this month. We're starting off with Birthday
00:32:29.589 --> 00:32:34.789
by Fawzia Fawzia Fawzia. Don't know how to pronounce
00:32:34.789 --> 00:32:40.869
her name, I'm so sorry, but she is... So good.
00:32:40.990 --> 00:32:46.150
This song is incredible. It's like... I guess
00:32:46.150 --> 00:32:48.569
it's like a power ballad, but it starts off in
00:32:48.569 --> 00:32:52.569
such an interesting, summery song with a whistling
00:32:52.569 --> 00:32:54.609
thing, and it sounds almost like it's gonna go
00:32:54.609 --> 00:32:58.309
into country, but it's not really country, guys.
00:32:58.410 --> 00:33:01.670
It is acoustic guitar -based, but it sounds like
00:33:01.670 --> 00:33:03.690
it's gonna be, from the intro, it's gonna be
00:33:03.690 --> 00:33:05.390
an uplifting song, but it's actually quite sad.
00:33:06.569 --> 00:33:08.250
It's okay. It's talking basically about like,
00:33:08.269 --> 00:33:12.549
you know birthdays, um What she says about the
00:33:12.549 --> 00:33:13.930
birthday basically, it's not her own birthday,
00:33:14.029 --> 00:33:18.109
but it's the her partner ex -partner She's saying
00:33:18.109 --> 00:33:20.529
basically I gave you all all of my power getting
00:33:20.529 --> 00:33:24.609
like, you know, you know in a gift for you for
00:33:24.609 --> 00:33:28.759
your birthday basically and and you know you
00:33:28.759 --> 00:33:30.240
act so different now that people are saying you're
00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:32.839
famous and all that and like you know they're
00:33:32.839 --> 00:33:34.579
all acting like you're famous and you're too
00:33:34.579 --> 00:33:36.619
precious for this or whatever yada yada such
00:33:36.619 --> 00:33:41.740
a personal song but it's such a like her lyricism
00:33:41.740 --> 00:33:43.519
is really really good in this one it's just such
00:33:43.519 --> 00:33:46.099
an evocative song and also what's best is just
00:33:46.099 --> 00:33:49.079
like the way she sings about it is just chef's
00:33:49.079 --> 00:33:52.720
kiss so good the melodies here are just so good
00:33:52.720 --> 00:33:54.940
such a good power ballad so if you were in a
00:33:54.940 --> 00:33:58.490
mood for that I guess a summery power ballad?
00:33:58.589 --> 00:34:02.369
This is it. Birthday. Then, of course, we have
00:34:02.369 --> 00:34:06.549
the return of the one and only Ryan Beatty? Betty?
00:34:07.029 --> 00:34:09.929
Beatty? I still don't know how to say his surname,
00:34:10.050 --> 00:34:14.010
but I'm assuming it's Beatty? Anyways, Secret
00:34:14.010 --> 00:34:15.570
Language is the first single off of his upcoming
00:34:15.570 --> 00:34:23.070
album, Sweet Fortune. And this is just incredible.
00:34:23.190 --> 00:34:29.260
It came out also with with a music video for
00:34:29.260 --> 00:34:33.699
this really good he's just you know somehow also
00:34:33.699 --> 00:34:35.880
go going towards like the country route here
00:34:35.880 --> 00:34:41.119
as well he is just incredible like producer writer
00:34:41.119 --> 00:34:45.000
vocalist main artist like he's just doing all
00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:49.980
of it in here it's so good such a good good song
00:34:49.980 --> 00:34:53.420
very ryan beattie in nature i don't know if you
00:34:53.420 --> 00:34:56.429
know anything about him but he he likes to you
00:34:56.429 --> 00:34:59.110
know create songs that are quite like on the
00:34:59.110 --> 00:35:05.289
cusp between like you know uh r b vocals and
00:35:05.289 --> 00:35:08.710
all that stuff but very confessional and very
00:35:08.710 --> 00:35:12.869
calm songs basically they're not by any stretch
00:35:12.869 --> 00:35:15.170
of imagination like fast -paced songs pop songs
00:35:15.170 --> 00:35:17.909
or whatever they're like you know confessionals
00:35:17.909 -->
00:35:20.789
and writing type of songs very hard to heart
00:35:20.789 --> 00:35:24.389
and that's you know Lovely. This song is just
00:35:24.389 --> 00:35:26.510
as good as any of these other songs. It's just
00:35:26.510 --> 00:35:27.610
really, really good. I'm very excited to see
00:35:27.610 --> 00:35:29.650
what else it's going to bring to the table with
00:35:29.650 --> 00:35:34.849
the album. So, so good. Then I have a bit of
00:35:34.849 --> 00:35:38.230
a throwback. I mean, this is a very old song,
00:35:38.309 --> 00:35:40.670
I guess. Not very old, but, you know. Like, it's
00:35:40.670 --> 00:35:43.849
one of the first songs made by Kim Petras, and
00:35:43.849 --> 00:35:47.590
it's called Hillside Boys. And when she dropped
00:35:47.590 --> 00:35:51.469
all these singles back in the days, I didn't
00:35:51.469 --> 00:35:54.059
really, like... check them all out because we're
00:35:54.059 --> 00:35:56.920
not including an album at first so I didn't really
00:35:56.920 --> 00:36:00.179
know which ones to focus on and I think because
00:36:00.179 --> 00:36:02.699
I loved I Don't Want It At All so much that was
00:36:02.699 --> 00:36:05.559
the one I really played quite a lot but this
00:36:05.559 --> 00:36:08.579
is it this is like I'm so glad I discovered the
00:36:08.579 --> 00:36:12.239
song again and it's so so good it's very like
00:36:14.430 --> 00:36:18.110
la beachy like but like movie type of like you
00:36:18.110 --> 00:36:22.130
know musical grease type of i don't know number
00:36:22.130 --> 00:36:26.739
very very interesting um it's so so good it's
00:36:26.739 --> 00:36:29.079
so california in vibe as well it's interesting
00:36:29.079 --> 00:36:32.239
but you know it's a it's an ode to the hillside
00:36:32.239 --> 00:36:34.599
boys basically our experiences with wealthy boys
00:36:34.599 --> 00:36:36.300
who broke her heart she mentioned you know the
00:36:36.300 --> 00:36:38.500
first uh three boys were rich kids who ended
00:36:38.500 --> 00:36:40.920
up bringing her heart and when she moved to los
00:36:40.920 --> 00:36:42.440
angeles basically and saw that all the rich kids
00:36:42.440 --> 00:36:44.320
lived in the hills she continued she combined
00:36:44.320 --> 00:36:46.440
his experiences into the song which is very very
00:36:46.440 --> 00:36:50.980
nice such a good like you have to give her flowers
00:36:50.980 --> 00:36:54.300
her vocals in all of her songs but also in this
00:36:54.300 --> 00:36:57.820
one chef's kiss she's so good the ad -libs especially
00:36:57.820 --> 00:37:00.179
like she's a master of making i wish she would
00:37:00.179 --> 00:37:01.800
go back to making these like type of pop songs
00:37:01.800 --> 00:37:05.579
because she really really thrives in this element
00:37:05.579 --> 00:37:09.559
but so so so good then i have american cars by
00:37:09.559 --> 00:37:14.280
noah khan which is very a big vibe shift i guess
00:37:14.280 --> 00:37:16.579
but this is like such a good like road
trip song
00:37:16.579 --> 00:37:19.579
i was in france for a weekend something um for
00:37:19.579 --> 00:37:21.860
a long weekend i guess and it was really really
00:37:21.860 --> 00:37:26.659
good Like, it just fit the vibe so well. The
00:37:26.659 --> 00:37:28.579
song delves into, like, themes of family dynamics
00:37:28.579 --> 00:37:30.599
and personal struggles, with, like, lyrics that
00:37:30.599 --> 00:37:33.239
reflect feelings of being overwhelmed and the
00:37:33.239 --> 00:37:35.199
desire to escape, highlighting the complexities
00:37:35.199 --> 00:37:39.599
of familial relationships. There's also a music
00:37:39.599 --> 00:37:40.840
video for this. I think it was one of the singles
00:37:40.840 --> 00:37:45.300
from the album that he put out recently. Very,
00:37:45.380 --> 00:37:50.039
very good. So, so interesting. Oh, wait, and,
00:37:50.280 --> 00:37:54.119
yeah, I mean... It's a different shift in his
00:37:54.119 --> 00:37:55.539
musical style, to be honest. Like, it's just
00:37:55.539 --> 00:37:57.280
more, like, indie rock elements in this song,
00:37:57.340 --> 00:37:59.719
specifically. Like, through guitars and drum
00:37:59.719 --> 00:38:01.519
patterns, everything else. It's still folky,
00:38:01.539 --> 00:38:03.900
because he's a folk artist, I would say. But
00:38:03.900 --> 00:38:05.900
it's more adventurous, which I really, really
00:38:05.900 --> 00:38:07.980
enjoyed. Very fast -paced, very fun, very catchy
00:38:07.980 --> 00:38:12.599
as well. So, definitely go into that. Now, K
00:38:12.599 --> 00:38:19.360
-pop. K -pop, K -pop, K -pop, K -pop. Where to
00:38:19.360 --> 00:38:24.070
begin? I guess we can begin with Dirty by Meow.
00:38:25.429 --> 00:38:30.250
Dirty is like trap, like drill. Drill, this is
00:38:30.250 --> 00:38:33.750
the genre actually. Specifically like UK drill,
00:38:33.909 --> 00:38:36.510
like British drill. That's the vibe specifically.
00:38:36.730 --> 00:38:38.949
Or I guess if you think about iSpice, there's
00:38:38.949 --> 00:38:41.550
also a bit of that. That's the vibe, like the
00:38:41.550 --> 00:38:43.869
type of production that we are having. But they
00:38:43.869 --> 00:38:47.940
also interpolate. the famous like horror thing
00:38:47.940 --> 00:38:53.039
like that's the hot literally the base of the
00:38:53.039 --> 00:38:55.340
entire song like this the the same the sample
00:38:55.340 --> 00:38:59.320
they use for the song so funny so good but it's
00:38:59.320 --> 00:39:01.280
just like the production the verses to me is
00:39:01.280 --> 00:39:03.639
like what really brings the the song to life
00:39:03.639 --> 00:39:07.000
um the chorus is whatever like it's a typical
00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:09.619
drill chorus like it's just a repetitive one
00:39:09.619 --> 00:39:12.940
um there's a bit of like a caribbean influence
00:39:12.940 --> 00:39:15.199
in the verses and then there's also in the second
00:39:15.199 --> 00:39:17.280
verse specifically a bit of like a mandolin like
00:39:17.280 --> 00:39:22.820
a ukulele's um guitar in the back so good The
00:39:22.820 --> 00:39:25.019
hip -hop elements are so strong, so good, and
00:39:25.019 --> 00:39:28.059
the outro. The outro goes absolute apeshit. It's
00:39:28.059 --> 00:39:32.480
just so, so good. It goes fully, like, you know,
00:39:32.519 --> 00:39:35.940
explosive. So, so, so good. Really love it. Also,
00:39:36.019 --> 00:39:38.019
consider watching the music video, because it's
00:39:38.019 --> 00:39:40.800
such an artistic MV. I've never seen anything
00:39:40.800 --> 00:39:43.380
like this before. Like, it's just so, so good.
00:39:43.579 --> 00:39:47.920
It has a bit of, like, a gothic haunting type
00:39:47.920 --> 00:39:52.179
of video. I think if this came out in... during
00:39:52.179 --> 00:39:55.199
halloween it would have done incredible numbers
00:39:55.199 --> 00:39:58.059
so good and of course like i've been listening
00:39:58.059 --> 00:39:59.440
to this song for quite a long but suddenly by
00:39:59.440 --> 00:40:05.320
ioi the return of ioi so so good that song has
00:40:05.320 --> 00:40:07.659
been stuck in my head for ages now like it's
00:40:07.659 --> 00:40:08.880
been ever since it came out i've been listening
00:40:08.880 --> 00:40:11.920
to it but it's so good to see the song like organically
00:40:11.920 --> 00:40:13.980
raising to charge and i was like it's been number
00:40:13.980 --> 00:40:16.139
one for like what eight weeks on melon charge
00:40:16.139 --> 00:40:20.190
or something like that so so Eight days or eight
00:40:20.190 --> 00:40:22.010
weeks? Sorry, not eight weeks. It's impossible.
00:40:22.289 --> 00:40:26.090
Eight days. So, so cool. Love it. Love the girls.
00:40:26.250 --> 00:40:28.929
They are the nation's group that was formed by
00:40:28.929 --> 00:40:31.630
the nation, basically. So good to see them all.
00:40:31.849 --> 00:40:33.469
Because they all went in their own journeys and
00:40:33.469 --> 00:40:35.829
they never quite succeeded. Much like, you know,
00:40:35.829 --> 00:40:39.570
unlike what happened with IZONE. Where the groups
00:40:39.570 --> 00:40:41.750
after that were very, all of them were very successful.
00:40:41.889 --> 00:40:45.829
Like, you know, IVE, The Seraphim. All these
00:40:45.829 --> 00:40:48.860
groups were like super, super... uh successful
00:40:48.860 --> 00:40:51.820
even the the iana like it's always well successful
00:40:51.820 --> 00:40:54.260
i think here it was a bit of like a mixed bag
00:40:54.260 --> 00:40:56.460
not all of them became successful and even if
00:40:56.460 --> 00:40:58.820
they did they had like a quote -unquote short
00:40:58.820 --> 00:41:01.579
-lived success so to see them come back for a
00:41:01.579 --> 00:41:06.960
10th anniversary and just like go to this like
00:41:06.960 --> 00:41:09.360
route that is a song that has a double meaning
00:41:09.360 --> 00:41:11.880
because it's also about them coming back you
00:41:11.880 --> 00:41:14.659
know after 10 years and it's also a love song
00:41:14.659 --> 00:41:16.880
you know at the same time but it's such a good
