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.

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 00:41:16.880 --> 00:41:20.559 song it's so catchy it's like 80s song but it's 00:41:20.559 --> 00:41:22.460 the chorus that really does it it's so so good 00:41:22.460 --> 00:41:25.699 and the choreography is also amazing so yeah 00:41:25.699 --> 00:41:28.300 but anyways these are the songs very quick uh 00:41:28.300 --> 00:41:30.880 you know shout out to all these songs but go 00:41:30.880 --> 00:41:33.460 listen to them they're all fun they're all you 00:41:33.460 --> 00:41:35.139 know getting to the summer vibe a bit all of 00:41:35.139 --> 00:41:37.880 them are technically part of the summer in a 00:41:37.880 --> 00:41:41.869 way so maybe this will be a good june kickstart 00:41:41.869 --> 00:41:44.849 for you guys so yeah see you the next episode
