00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:04.200
I don't think I have been this perplexed by a series,
2
00:00:04.280 --> 00:00:05.080
but in a good way.
3
00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:06.320
I told you it was good, right.
4
00:00:06.200 --> 00:00:08.320
I told you, I told you it was good.
5
00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:09.919
Let's talk about it.
6
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:23.600
Hello, dere Clapperheads, and welcome to a brand new edition
7
00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:27.800
of Clappertals. I'm Nick Dorian, and we are going to
8
00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:30.600
be talking about a series that has been I think,
9
00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:35.039
on every cinephile's lips at the moment, everyone is talking
10
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:37.000
about this. I don't know why it took me so
11
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:38.520
long to watch. Well, I do know why it toought
12
00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:39.880
me so long to watch it. This a lot of
13
00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:45.560
things happening, but Pluribus is possibly one of the greatest
14
00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:48.000
shows to end twenty twenty five on.
15
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:52.359
I would say it's the next best thing before No, sorry,
16
00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:53.679
after Severance.
17
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:13.439
Okay, Severance had a season two, but this is like
18
00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:14.680
a brand new series.
19
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:16.480
We're only in episode three now.
20
00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:19.200
No, I think it falls out today.
21
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:21.799
Oh yeah, I think I saw an Apple TV that
22
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:23.599
comes up today, the fourth one.
23
00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:27.840
You've seen all three so far. I've seen the first episode.
24
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:31.400
Safe to say, I think this is a series that
25
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:35.079
is going to keep people questioning, just like how Severance
26
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:38.439
also did, correct it has that same sort of mystery.
27
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:43.319
Basically, it has that Apple TV mystery action thriller vibe
28
00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:43.840
going on.
29
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:44.519
Yeah.
30
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:46.599
Like I will say this, I don't know how much
31
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:48.920
of a reference you will understand of this, but have
32
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:52.319
you ever heard of an old nineteen thirties nineteen forties
33
00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:56.519
film called Invasion of the Body Snatches? Yes, this really
34
00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:58.879
reminds me a little bit of that. Like that was
35
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:01.560
I kept thinking of that every time the people were,
36
00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:04.519
you know, coming towards it. We just want to help.
37
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:08.000
I'm like, this feels like Invasion of the Body Snatches
38
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:11.439
a little bit, but adapted from a modern era.
39
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:12.000
Ye.
40
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:14.240
Would you like to tell what the back of the
41
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:14.919
DVD for this?
42
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:16.479
I was just about to go there. Yes.
43
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:20.319
In the world taken my mysterious way for forced happiness,
44
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:25.120
Carol Struka is the only person immune must uncover what's
45
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:29.120
really going on and save humanity from its own bliss.
46
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:33.120
I think basically a summary of it is right, the
47
00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:39.719
world has been quote unquote taken over by this mind altering.
48
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:41.240
Signal.
49
00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:44.000
Yes, and everyone is.
50
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:48.639
Just happy and they just want to please. Right. But this,
51
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:53.759
this protagonist we have here now is Carol. She wasn't
52
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:54.800
immune to it.
53
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:57.719
Sorry, she was immune to it, and she's not part
54
00:02:57.719 --> 00:02:59.240
of this happiness cult.
55
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:01.639
She's one out of eleven.
56
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:04.400
Thirteen at thirteen, yeah, one out of thirteen, one.
57
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:09.159
Out of thirteen that were immune to these waves from space. Also,
58
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:12.159
another thing I want to add is that the human
59
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:13.960
race now is a collective.
60
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:16.319
There's no such thing as individual people.
61
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:19.840
They are all one entity yep. Correct.
62
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:23.719
So that makes it even creepier. First of all, you've
63
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:24.520
got the smiles.
64
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:28.520
Second of all, you've got the over exert niceness of everything,
65
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:31.319
and then you've got this thing of like, we just
66
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:32.800
want to help, we just want to.
67
00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:35.080
Especially when the kids start saying it, Oh my god,
68
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:38.159
K that got creepy for a bit, Like it's just.
69
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:40.080
So eerie and intense.
70
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:43.039
There's a word that I wrote down, like Carol in
71
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:45.879
the beginning, when she's trying to figure out what's happening,
72
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:50.199
it's like there's normalcy in the absurd, Like there's so
73
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:54.199
much absurdity happening around her, but because she hasn't noticed
74
00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:57.000
it yet, when you're in the viewpoint of her, it's
75
00:03:57.039 --> 00:04:02.639
just normal inabsurd I'm like, this is so damn intriguing.
76
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:04.719
I would say one of the main focus of the
77
00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:08.080
show is just finding out how miserable Carol can actually
78
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:12.360
be and just overally, how can she overcome this?
79
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:14.639
Because I mean, do we spoil it a.
80
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:18.519
Bit, Let's not spoil it too much. But even if
81
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:20.519
we spoil it, I think it still.
82
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:21.240
Would not make sense.
83
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:24.519
It's hard to spoil something that we don't even know
84
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:26.319
what is going to happen, because it's not just like
85
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:27.199
a film review.
86
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:30.920
This is a series introduction, and.
87
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:33.240
I think we're only midway into the season at.
88
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:36.439
This point and looking at shows like this, right, the
89
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:38.879
end is going to be like super mind blowing or
90
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:41.759
it's going to be super underwhelming.
91
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:45.959
Yeah, I mean okay at this point because this comes
92
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:49.800
from the same creator of Breaking Bad and Better Call Sault.
93
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:52.839
So what's his name, Vince Gilligan.
94
00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:56.959
Vine Again, that's his name, So I have absolutely no
95
00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:00.920
doubt he's going to pull off and absolutely fedantastic series.
96
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:04.439
Once again. There's no fault with Breaking Bad, same thing
97
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:05.560
again with Better Call Saul.
98
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:08.160
I think this, but the way that it's starting at
99
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:11.560
the moment, it can only get better from here one percent.
100
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:14.920
And just like Severance, the episode or the series starts
101
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:18.480
off with with with you asking a lot of questions,
102
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:22.240
why is this happening, what is going on? Who is affected?
103
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:27.079
How is it going to be resolved? But I'm episode
104
00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:31.959
three in now right, and none of the answers are none,
105
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:35.199
None of the questions are answered, and I'm just sitting
106
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:39.079
there like I regret starting this because it's something that
107
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:42.920
I would probably like if all episodes are released, I
108
00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:45.480
would probably sit down and just been through the whole
109
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:46.240
thing in one night.
110
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:49.759
Yeah, that I don't want to bring up this conversation
111
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:51.639
about weekly releases versus like.
112
00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:55.240
No, but but that's that's just my personal opinion. No,
113
00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:56.040
I agree with you.
114
00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:59.639
I would love to be able to just binge this
115
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.639
because the waiting, I think is gonna kill me. Like
116
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:04.959
I'm in episode one and I'm already itching to watch
117
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:08.480
episode two. Heaven helped me when I get to your
118
00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:10.639
point where I have to watch on a weekly basis,
119
00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:11.360
I'm gonna go.
120
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:14.279
Man. Yeah, Now, after the.
121
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:17.879
Break, we're gonna talk a little bit about its lead star, Carol,
122
00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:21.720
and also about the world building that Steve Gilligan has created,
123
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:31.360
So stay tuned right after this. Now, I think the
124
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:35.800
lead star of this show definitely is Carol, even though
125
00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:39.160
there's a whole cast of characters. Carol is your main
126
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:41.920
focus and also your point of view, Like it feels
127
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:44.439
like you are following Carol in trying to figure this
128
00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:46.199
out one step at a time.
129
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:49.000
Yeah, and some some parts in the film, I'm just
130
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:51.360
i mean some parts in a in the show.
131
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:53.600
I'm just like, why do you have to be such
132
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:54.519
a bitch?
133
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:54.959
Man?
134
00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:58.720
I mean, like I would be so fucking confused. I
135
00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:01.199
would be a bitch too, because I'm like, what is
136
00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:01.639
going on?
137
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:07.959
I Mean, it really reminded me of the They Knows
138
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:11.720
That when everyone, like like half the population just disappeared.
139
00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:15.079
But then this one is more weird because she starts
140
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:18.759
seeing people spazzing, starts falling down, and then when they
141
00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:22.079
wake up, they're like a completely different person, and then
142
00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:24.759
they become sort of like a quote unquote hive mind
143
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:28.040
as well. So everything about the show is just like
144
00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:31.000
like begging you to ask the question what the hell
145
00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:31.720
is going on?
146
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:36.600
And you're just there sitting and just it feels like
147
00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:41.759
you're you're in the backseat of Carol, and then you're
148
00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:43.800
just trying to ask her to be like, can you
149
00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:50.360
ask the right question, the right thing? Why? Why? Why?
150
00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:52.480
Carol? Why?
151
00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:54.439
Because in episodes two and three.
152
00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:56.959
I mean, once you watch it, you wander then what
153
00:07:57.000 --> 00:08:00.120
I mean, like, it's just like go go kick it that.
154
00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:04.199
Why yeah yourky Carol?
155
00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:05.759
Are you okay? Are you truly okay?
156
00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:08.600
But another thing that I really want to point out,
157
00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:11.680
which I said before the break, which really impressed me
158
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:16.560
specifically because when I see good cinematography and good world building,
159
00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:20.199
that's a major plus in my book, and the way
160
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:26.000
that Vince Gilligan has carefully crafted this sort of alternate world,
161
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:28.800
like yes, it is our world, but at the same time,
162
00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:32.519
it's just something's just a little bit off. It's not
163
00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:37.080
over the top, it's just hey, something's amiss. And I
164
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:41.639
love this sort of like vastness and eeriness of technology
165
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:45.039
as well, Like when she's talking to the President.
166
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:47.120
Defense or whatnot.
167
00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:51.240
When the President address you, it was so like, you know,
168
00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:53.600
you know what I feel about this shit. Like if
169
00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:56.279
I were to just sum it down, it's basically a
170
00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:59.200
happy horror, I.
171
00:08:59.320 --> 00:09:02.879
Would agree to disagree. I would say it's a happy horror.
172
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:08.360
I would say that this is a confusing horror, actually
173
00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:13.120
know and intriguing horror because it asks again, it asks
174
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:15.639
all that questions which might frustrate you to no end,
175
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:19.840
but it keeps you going. So Gilligan is smart in
176
00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:23.519
that sense of letting the world speak for itself and
177
00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:26.320
dragging this out so you don't know the answers, because
178
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:29.000
let's face it, if you know the answer at the beginning,
179
00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:30.480
you're not going to continue watching.
180
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:35.720
And also the fallacy that I have in mind, if
181
00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:39.919
this was a binge able series, no one will talk
182
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:40.679
about it ever.
183
00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:43.600
Yeah, I think the spoilers would come out immediately. This
184
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:44.320
is what happens at the.
185
00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:49.000
End, because that is what I appreciate it from Severance,
186
00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:52.960
the fact that you get a weekly released and the
187
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:56.519
fact that we're talking about it now eager to have more,
188
00:09:56.600 --> 00:09:57.639
like like, give me more.
189
00:09:57.799 --> 00:09:58.679
Yes, right.
190
00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:02.000
I think that's the with Apple TV. Plus wait, sorry,
191
00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:06.519
no Apple TV, because I think we need to do
192
00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:08.919
an episode about how good Apple TV is and how
193
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:12.559
underrated it is. But the shows that they put out, always,
194
00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:15.320
even though it's on a weekly basis, always keeps you
195
00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:19.240
on the edge of your seat. I'm thinking of shows
196
00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:23.559
like you said, Severance, Hijack, the Crowded Room, all of
197
00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:28.600
these shows just keep your mind blown episode after episode.
198
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:33.360
And I think Pluribus is a great addition to that catalog.
199
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:37.039
And if y'all haven't gotten on Apple TV yet, you
200
00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:39.320
are truly missing out. It is one of the most
201
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:42.879
it's my number one streaming service that you have to get.
202
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:46.039
And hopefully Purbusts will be that push for people to
203
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:50.759
finally get this this streaming service and understand why Apple
204
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:53.159
is at the top of their game in terms of
205
00:10:53.240 --> 00:10:53.960
TV shows.
206
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:56.399
Never would have ever thought that I would say, of
207
00:10:56.639 --> 00:11:01.240
all these streaming services out there, we're talking about Netflix, HBO,
208
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:04.600
makes Disney, et cetera, et cetera, Apple is the only
209
00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:08.480
one that I might actually like throw money for a
210
00:11:08.559 --> 00:11:09.600
lifelong subscription.
211
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:10.159
Yeah.
212
00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:12.840
And I think it's one of the cheapest subscription services
213
00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:16.600
as well for us because it doesn't have that huge
214
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:20.480
catalog of Hollywood movies and whatnot. They really do focus
215
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:23.919
on their own stuff, which I agree with. If you
216
00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:26.320
want the bigger blockbuster films or whatnot, you can always
217
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:28.000
rend them on Apple TV.
218
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:30.799
It is twenty nine Riggate ninety cents.
219
00:11:30.919 --> 00:11:31.120
Yeah.
220
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:35.559
Compare that to Netflix's price, which is skyrocketing day after day,
221
00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:39.240
Disney's price, which again increase their pricing. I just got
222
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:42.399
an email saying their three months price has gone from
223
00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:45.399
seventy nine ninety to ninety nine ninety so I'm playing
224
00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:49.840
like one hundred for three months. It's getting crazy, but
225
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:54.519
Apple TV is the clear winner in my eyes. But
226
00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:59.080
back to Pluribus. At this point, we don't know what
227
00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:03.879
is coming the next few episodes. Questions are definitely going
228
00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:06.320
to be answered. It's just a matter of when and
229
00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:09.960
how much that's gonna blow our minds when it actually does.
230
00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:14.399
Like I'm sure he's gonna explain everything and everything is
231
00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:15.279
gonna make sense.
232
00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:18.120
I am just waiting for that moment of.
233
00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:24.600
Yeah, something tells me it happens soon, but you know,
234
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:28.320
we we'll see. So yeah, that has been our little
235
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:31.639
review of Pluribus. I think at this point that's pull
236
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:33.879
up the clapper meter. Where would you put it? I
237
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:34.559
think I can guess.
238
00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:37.600
I would say I would say, we are only at
239
00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:38.279
episode three.
240
00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:43.720
Let's not pull out the the clapper.
241
00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:46.240
Meter, Okay, okay. I would just say this.
242
00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:51.039
Would definitely be hands down one of the most memorable
243
00:12:51.159 --> 00:12:55.320
series out there. And Vince Gilligan is three for three
244
00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:59.480
now with Breaking Back, Better Course All and also this
245
00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:00.440
one Ribs.
246
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:04.000
I want to say, if you want to witness the
247
00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:09.399
beauty of television and good story. Pluribus is the show
248
00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:12.519
for you, correct, So go watch it right now. It's
249
00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:15.480

Okay, thank you bye,
1
00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:04.200
I don't think I have been this perplexed by a series,
2
00:00:04.280 --> 00:00:05.080
but in a good way.
3
00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:06.320
I told you it was good, right.
4
00:00:06.200 --> 00:00:08.320
I told you, I told you it was good.
5
00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:09.919
Let's talk about it.
6
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:23.600
Hello, dere Clapperheads, and welcome to a brand new edition
7
00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:27.800
of Clappertals. I'm Nick Dorian, and we are going to
8
00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:30.600
be talking about a series that has been I think,
9
00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:35.039
on every cinephile's lips at the moment, everyone is talking
10
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:37.000
about this. I don't know why it took me so
11
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:38.520
long to watch. Well, I do know why it toought
12
00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:39.880
me so long to watch it. This a lot of
13
00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:45.560
things happening, but Pluribus is possibly one of the greatest
14
00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:48.000
shows to end twenty twenty five on.
15
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:52.359
I would say it's the next best thing before No, sorry,
16
00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:53.679
after Severance.
17
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:13.439
Okay, Severance had a season two, but this is like
18
00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:14.680
a brand new series.
19
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:16.480
We're only in episode three now.
20
00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:19.200
No, I think it falls out today.
21
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:21.799
Oh yeah, I think I saw an Apple TV that
22
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:23.599
comes up today, the fourth one.
23
00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:27.840
You've seen all three so far. I've seen the first episode.
24
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:31.400
Safe to say, I think this is a series that
25
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:35.079
is going to keep people questioning, just like how Severance
26
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:38.439
also did, correct it has that same sort of mystery.
27
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:43.319
Basically, it has that Apple TV mystery action thriller vibe
28
00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:43.840
going on.
29
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:44.519
Yeah.
30
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:46.599
Like I will say this, I don't know how much
31
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:48.920
of a reference you will understand of this, but have
32
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:52.319
you ever heard of an old nineteen thirties nineteen forties
33
00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:56.519
film called Invasion of the Body Snatches? Yes, this really
34
00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:58.879
reminds me a little bit of that. Like that was
35
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:01.560
I kept thinking of that every time the people were,
36
00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:04.519
you know, coming towards it. We just want to help.
37
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:08.000
I'm like, this feels like Invasion of the Body Snatches
38
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:11.439
a little bit, but adapted from a modern era.
39
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:12.000
Ye.
40
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:14.240
Would you like to tell what the back of the
41
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:14.919
DVD for this?
42
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:16.479
I was just about to go there. Yes.
43
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:20.319
In the world taken my mysterious way for forced happiness,
44
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:25.120
Carol Struka is the only person immune must uncover what's
45
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:29.120
really going on and save humanity from its own bliss.
46
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:33.120
I think basically a summary of it is right, the
47
00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:39.719
world has been quote unquote taken over by this mind altering.
48
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:41.240
Signal.
49
00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:44.000
Yes, and everyone is.
50
00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:48.639
Just happy and they just want to please. Right. But this,
51
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:53.759
this protagonist we have here now is Carol. She wasn't
52
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:54.800
immune to it.
53
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:57.719
Sorry, she was immune to it, and she's not part
54
00:02:57.719 --> 00:02:59.240
of this happiness cult.
55
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:01.639
She's one out of eleven.
56
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:04.400
Thirteen at thirteen, yeah, one out of thirteen, one.
57
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:09.159
Out of thirteen that were immune to these waves from space. Also,
58
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:12.159
another thing I want to add is that the human
59
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:13.960
race now is a collective.
60
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:16.319
There's no such thing as individual people.
61
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:19.840
They are all one entity yep. Correct.
62
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:23.719
So that makes it even creepier. First of all, you've
63
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:24.520
got the smiles.
64
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:28.520
Second of all, you've got the over exert niceness of everything,
65
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:31.319
and then you've got this thing of like, we just
66
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:32.800
want to help, we just want to.
67
00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:35.080
Especially when the kids start saying it, Oh my god,
68
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:38.159
K that got creepy for a bit, Like it's just.
69
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:40.080
So eerie and intense.
70
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:43.039
There's a word that I wrote down, like Carol in
71
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:45.879
the beginning, when she's trying to figure out what's happening,
72
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:50.199
it's like there's normalcy in the absurd, Like there's so
73
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:54.199
much absurdity happening around her, but because she hasn't noticed
74
00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:57.000
it yet, when you're in the viewpoint of her, it's
75
00:03:57.039 --> 00:04:02.639
just normal inabsurd I'm like, this is so damn intriguing.
76
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:04.719
I would say one of the main focus of the
77
00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:08.080
show is just finding out how miserable Carol can actually
78
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:12.360
be and just overally, how can she overcome this?
79
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:14.639
Because I mean, do we spoil it a.
80
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:18.519
Bit, Let's not spoil it too much. But even if
81
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:20.519
we spoil it, I think it still.
82
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:21.240
Would not make sense.
83
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:24.519
It's hard to spoil something that we don't even know
84
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:26.319
what is going to happen, because it's not just like
85
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:27.199
a film review.
86
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:30.920
This is a series introduction, and.
87
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:33.240
I think we're only midway into the season at.
88
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:36.439
This point and looking at shows like this, right, the
89
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:38.879
end is going to be like super mind blowing or
90
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:41.759
it's going to be super underwhelming.
91
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:45.959
Yeah, I mean okay at this point because this comes
92
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:49.800
from the same creator of Breaking Bad and Better Call Sault.
93
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:52.839
So what's his name, Vince Gilligan.
94
00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:56.959
Vine Again, that's his name, So I have absolutely no
95
00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:00.920
doubt he's going to pull off and absolutely fedantastic series.
96
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:04.439
Once again. There's no fault with Breaking Bad, same thing
97
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:05.560
again with Better Call Saul.
98
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:08.160
I think this, but the way that it's starting at
99
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:11.560
the moment, it can only get better from here one percent.
100
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:14.920
And just like Severance, the episode or the series starts
101
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:18.480
off with with with you asking a lot of questions,
102
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:22.240
why is this happening, what is going on? Who is affected?
103
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:27.079
How is it going to be resolved? But I'm episode
104
00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:31.959
three in now right, and none of the answers are none,
105
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:35.199
None of the questions are answered, and I'm just sitting
106
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:39.079
there like I regret starting this because it's something that
107
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:42.920
I would probably like if all episodes are released, I
108
00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:45.480
would probably sit down and just been through the whole
109
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:46.240
thing in one night.
110
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:49.759
Yeah, that I don't want to bring up this conversation
111
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:51.639
about weekly releases versus like.
112
00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:55.240
No, but but that's that's just my personal opinion. No,
113
00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:56.040
I agree with you.
114
00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:59.639
I would love to be able to just binge this
115
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.639
because the waiting, I think is gonna kill me. Like
116
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:04.959
I'm in episode one and I'm already itching to watch
117
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:08.480
episode two. Heaven helped me when I get to your
118
00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:10.639
point where I have to watch on a weekly basis,
119
00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:11.360
I'm gonna go.
120
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:14.279
Man. Yeah, Now, after the.
121
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:17.879
Break, we're gonna talk a little bit about its lead star, Carol,
122
00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:21.720
and also about the world building that Steve Gilligan has created,
123
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:31.360
So stay tuned right after this. Now, I think the
124
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:35.800
lead star of this show definitely is Carol, even though
125
00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:39.160
there's a whole cast of characters. Carol is your main
126
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:41.920
focus and also your point of view, Like it feels
127
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:44.439
like you are following Carol in trying to figure this
128
00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:46.199
out one step at a time.
129
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:49.000
Yeah, and some some parts in the film, I'm just
130
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:51.360
i mean some parts in a in the show.
131
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:53.600
I'm just like, why do you have to be such
132
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:54.519
a bitch?
133
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:54.959
Man?
134
00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:58.720
I mean, like I would be so fucking confused. I
135
00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:01.199
would be a bitch too, because I'm like, what is
136
00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:01.639
going on?
137
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:07.959
I Mean, it really reminded me of the They Knows
138
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:11.720
That when everyone, like like half the population just disappeared.
139
00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:15.079
But then this one is more weird because she starts
140
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:18.759
seeing people spazzing, starts falling down, and then when they
141
00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:22.079
wake up, they're like a completely different person, and then
142
00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:24.759
they become sort of like a quote unquote hive mind
143
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:28.040
as well. So everything about the show is just like
144
00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:31.000
like begging you to ask the question what the hell
145
00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:31.720
is going on?
146
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:36.600
And you're just there sitting and just it feels like
147
00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:41.759
you're you're in the backseat of Carol, and then you're
148
00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:43.800
just trying to ask her to be like, can you
149
00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:50.360
ask the right question, the right thing? Why? Why? Why?
150
00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:52.480
Carol? Why?
151
00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:54.439
Because in episodes two and three.
152
00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:56.959
I mean, once you watch it, you wander then what
153
00:07:57.000 --> 00:08:00.120
I mean, like, it's just like go go kick it that.
154
00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:04.199
Why yeah yourky Carol?
155
00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:05.759
Are you okay? Are you truly okay?
156
00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:08.600
But another thing that I really want to point out,
157
00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:11.680
which I said before the break, which really impressed me
158
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:16.560
specifically because when I see good cinematography and good world building,
159
00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:20.199
that's a major plus in my book, and the way
160
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:26.000
that Vince Gilligan has carefully crafted this sort of alternate world,
161
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:28.800
like yes, it is our world, but at the same time,
162
00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:32.519
it's just something's just a little bit off. It's not
163
00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:37.080
over the top, it's just hey, something's amiss. And I
164
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:41.639
love this sort of like vastness and eeriness of technology
165
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:45.039
as well, Like when she's talking to the President.
166
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:47.120
Defense or whatnot.
167
00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:51.240
When the President address you, it was so like, you know,
168
00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:53.600
you know what I feel about this shit. Like if
169
00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:56.279
I were to just sum it down, it's basically a
170
00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:59.200
happy horror, I.
171
00:08:59.320 --> 00:09:02.879
Would agree to disagree. I would say it's a happy horror.
172
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:08.360
I would say that this is a confusing horror, actually
173
00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:13.120
know and intriguing horror because it asks again, it asks
174
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:15.639
all that questions which might frustrate you to no end,
175
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:19.840
but it keeps you going. So Gilligan is smart in
176
00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:23.519
that sense of letting the world speak for itself and
177
00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:26.320
dragging this out so you don't know the answers, because
178
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:29.000
let's face it, if you know the answer at the beginning,
179
00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:30.480
you're not going to continue watching.
180
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:35.720
And also the fallacy that I have in mind, if
181
00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:39.919
this was a binge able series, no one will talk
182
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:40.679
about it ever.
183
00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:43.600
Yeah, I think the spoilers would come out immediately. This
184
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:44.320
is what happens at the.
185
00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:49.000
End, because that is what I appreciate it from Severance,
186
00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:52.960
the fact that you get a weekly released and the
187
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:56.519
fact that we're talking about it now eager to have more,
188
00:09:56.600 --> 00:09:57.639
like like, give me more.
189
00:09:57.799 --> 00:09:58.679
Yes, right.
190
00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:02.000
I think that's the with Apple TV. Plus wait, sorry,
191
00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:06.519
no Apple TV, because I think we need to do
192
00:10:06.559 --> 00:10:08.919
an episode about how good Apple TV is and how
193
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:12.559
underrated it is. But the shows that they put out, always,
194
00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:15.320
even though it's on a weekly basis, always keeps you
195
00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:19.240
on the edge of your seat. I'm thinking of shows
196
00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:23.559
like you said, Severance, Hijack, the Crowded Room, all of
197
00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:28.600
these shows just keep your mind blown episode after episode.
198
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:33.360
And I think Pluribus is a great addition to that catalog.
199
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:37.039
And if y'all haven't gotten on Apple TV yet, you
200
00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:39.320
are truly missing out. It is one of the most
201
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:42.879
it's my number one streaming service that you have to get.
202
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:46.039
And hopefully Purbusts will be that push for people to
203
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:50.759
finally get this this streaming service and understand why Apple
204
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:53.159
is at the top of their game in terms of
205
00:10:53.240 --> 00:10:53.960
TV shows.
206
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:56.399
Never would have ever thought that I would say, of
207
00:10:56.639 --> 00:11:01.240
all these streaming services out there, we're talking about Netflix, HBO,
208
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:04.600
makes Disney, et cetera, et cetera, Apple is the only
209
00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:08.480
one that I might actually like throw money for a
210
00:11:08.559 --> 00:11:09.600
lifelong subscription.
211
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:10.159
Yeah.
212
00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:12.840
And I think it's one of the cheapest subscription services
213
00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:16.600
as well for us because it doesn't have that huge
214
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:20.480
catalog of Hollywood movies and whatnot. They really do focus
215
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:23.919
on their own stuff, which I agree with. If you
216
00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:26.320
want the bigger blockbuster films or whatnot, you can always
217
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:28.000
rend them on Apple TV.
218
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:30.799
It is twenty nine Riggate ninety cents.
219
00:11:30.919 --> 00:11:31.120
Yeah.
220
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:35.559
Compare that to Netflix's price, which is skyrocketing day after day,
221
00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:39.240
Disney's price, which again increase their pricing. I just got
222
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:42.399
an email saying their three months price has gone from
223
00:11:42.440 --> 00:11:45.399
seventy nine ninety to ninety nine ninety so I'm playing
224
00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:49.840
like one hundred for three months. It's getting crazy, but
225
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:54.519
Apple TV is the clear winner in my eyes. But
226
00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:59.080
back to Pluribus. At this point, we don't know what
227
00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:03.879
is coming the next few episodes. Questions are definitely going
228
00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:06.320
to be answered. It's just a matter of when and
229
00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:09.960
how much that's gonna blow our minds when it actually does.
230
00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:14.399
Like I'm sure he's gonna explain everything and everything is
231
00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:15.279
gonna make sense.
232
00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:18.120
I am just waiting for that moment of.
233
00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:24.600
Yeah, something tells me it happens soon, but you know,
234
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:28.320
we we'll see. So yeah, that has been our little
235
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:31.639
review of Pluribus. I think at this point that's pull
236
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:33.879
up the clapper meter. Where would you put it? I
237
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:34.559
think I can guess.
238
00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:37.600
I would say I would say, we are only at
239
00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:38.279
episode three.
240
00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:43.720
Let's not pull out the the clapper.
241
00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:46.240
Meter, Okay, okay. I would just say this.
242
00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:51.039
Would definitely be hands down one of the most memorable
243
00:12:51.159 --> 00:12:55.320
series out there. And Vince Gilligan is three for three
244
00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:59.480
now with Breaking Back, Better Course All and also this
245
00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:00.440
one Ribs.
246
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:04.000
I want to say, if you want to witness the
247
00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:09.399
beauty of television and good story. Pluribus is the show
248
00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:12.519
for you, correct, So go watch it right now. It's
249
00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:15.480
