[00:00:01] [SPEAKER_04]: Psyche
[00:00:08] Psyche
[00:00:08] [SPEAKER_04]: Father Daryl, would you lead us in a prayer of thanks?
[00:00:16] [SPEAKER_00]: You mean like, uh, same grace?
[00:00:18] [SPEAKER_04]: Yes.
[00:00:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. I'm sorry.
[00:00:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Um, Lord?
[00:00:28] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure you have your reasons.
[00:00:31] [SPEAKER_00]: I'll return the whole world upside down.
[00:00:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe we deserve it for being so mean to each other.
[00:00:42] [SPEAKER_00]: We probably do deserve it.
[00:00:48] [SPEAKER_00]: But not tonight.
[00:00:50] [SPEAKER_00]: No.
[00:00:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Tonight is good.
[00:00:55] [SPEAKER_00]: And if this isn't good enough for you,
[00:00:58] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what is.
[00:01:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Amen.
[00:01:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Podcast dedicated to the show.
[00:01:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Bonjour Zed Heads, welcome to the podcast. I'm Jason.
[00:01:43] [SPEAKER_05]: And I'm Lucy.
[00:01:45] [SPEAKER_03]: And this is the Cast of Us episode 538.
[00:01:49] [SPEAKER_05]: And this episode, as you'll read,
[00:01:51] [SPEAKER_05]: we are covering The Walking Dead, Daryl Dixon,
[00:01:54] [SPEAKER_05]: S1E2, Alouette.
[00:01:56] [SPEAKER_05]: Or Alouette.
[00:01:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Alouette.
[00:02:00] [SPEAKER_05]: What are you saying that in school?
[00:02:02] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, apparently it's actually really bleak though.
[00:02:05] [SPEAKER_05]: It's like about taking the word.
[00:02:07] [SPEAKER_05]: I didn't know that.
[00:02:09] [SPEAKER_03]: It's like going body part by body part and saying,
[00:02:11] [SPEAKER_03]: oh, pretty bird, I'm going to pluck all your feathers out.
[00:02:14] [SPEAKER_05]: It's dark, man.
[00:02:16] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, the fuck, man.
[00:02:17] [SPEAKER_03]: But for The Walking Dead, it's kind of interesting because
[00:02:20] [SPEAKER_03]: uh, Isabel and her sister, Lily, you know,
[00:02:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Isabel seeing that to her to help her calm down
[00:02:27] [SPEAKER_03]: because she's freaking out and childbirth and everything.
[00:02:30] [SPEAKER_03]: And it turns out she's singing this really dark,
[00:02:33] [SPEAKER_03]: grim song.
[00:02:34] [SPEAKER_03]: And then Lily's about to become a zombie and want to
[00:02:38] [SPEAKER_03]: pluck the feathers off all the birds.
[00:02:40] [SPEAKER_02]: So bleak.
[00:02:42] [SPEAKER_03]: But all those nursery rhymes and grim fairy tales and stuff
[00:02:45] [SPEAKER_03]: and like Ring Around the Rosie's is about,
[00:02:49] [SPEAKER_03]: isn't that about like radiation and war or something ashes?
[00:02:53] [SPEAKER_03]: The plague in the UK.
[00:02:54] [SPEAKER_03]: The plague, yeah, that's what it was.
[00:02:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Radiation, no, pre-radiation.
[00:02:58] [SPEAKER_05]: You used to hold um,
[00:03:01] [SPEAKER_05]: Poses, flowers up to your nose so you couldn't smell the decay.
[00:03:04] [SPEAKER_05]: Um, so when they say a pocket full of posies, a tissue,
[00:03:07] [SPEAKER_05]: a tissue, it's like sneezing because you've got the plague
[00:03:09] [SPEAKER_05]: even though you were holding up the flowers to your nose,
[00:03:12] [SPEAKER_05]: which is lovely.
[00:03:14] [SPEAKER_03]: It's really interesting to me how,
[00:03:17] [SPEAKER_03]: because I remember my grandma gave me a book of Grimm's fairy tales
[00:03:21] [SPEAKER_03]: and I don't think she read them because they were all
[00:03:24] [SPEAKER_03]: really disturbing.
[00:03:25] [SPEAKER_05]: I did like a module on fairy tales and
[00:03:30] [SPEAKER_05]: they're all dark as hell.
[00:03:32] [SPEAKER_05]: They're all really, really dark.
[00:03:35] [SPEAKER_05]: It's kind of cool.
[00:03:36] [SPEAKER_05]: Like I always dug when I was a kid like
[00:03:38] [SPEAKER_05]: rolled dolls books because they were always quite dark.
[00:03:42] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I was just thinking a rolled doll.
[00:03:44] [SPEAKER_05]: Like Charlie the chocolate factory is actually really fricking sinister.
[00:03:47] [SPEAKER_05]: Like when you think about it,
[00:03:48] [SPEAKER_05]: like all these kids get essentially killed off and punished for like being kids.
[00:03:52] [SPEAKER_03]: People always say, oh, they didn't die.
[00:03:54] [SPEAKER_03]: I think so.
[00:03:55] [SPEAKER_05]: No, absolutely.
[00:03:56] [SPEAKER_05]: And he wrote some amazing adult fiction as well like short fiction
[00:04:00] [SPEAKER_05]: that's very like dark and pointed.
[00:04:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I want to read more of his stuff.
[00:04:05] [SPEAKER_03]: I've heard synopses of some of his stories and they sound really interesting.
[00:04:09] [SPEAKER_05]: For by all accounts, horrible person, but right.
[00:04:11] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh really? Oh yeah.
[00:04:12] [SPEAKER_05]: Apparently so, yeah.
[00:04:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Pretty much everyone has.
[00:04:15] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, actually I wanted to open up this podcast just to say
[00:04:20] [SPEAKER_03]: thank you to all you guys for listening.
[00:04:22] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't really say it and now I mean, we always say it at the end.
[00:04:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Thanks for listening and I do mean it, but I just wanted to say it at the beginning
[00:04:28] [SPEAKER_03]: because man, it's been a long time and I appreciate you guys
[00:04:31] [SPEAKER_03]: and those of you that are still with us and listening
[00:04:36] [SPEAKER_03]: and who have been here for such a long time.
[00:04:38] [SPEAKER_03]: We really appreciate that.
[00:04:39] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, we wouldn't be doing it if you didn't listen.
[00:04:42] [SPEAKER_03]: So thanks.
[00:04:43] [SPEAKER_03]: And then so many people got involved over the years.
[00:04:45] [SPEAKER_03]: It's been awesome.
[00:04:46] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[00:04:46] [SPEAKER_05]: And it felt last week with the feedback like people coming back
[00:04:49] [SPEAKER_05]: from a holiday, which was nice.
[00:04:51] [SPEAKER_05]: Like people popping up who we'd not heard from in a while.
[00:04:54] [SPEAKER_05]: And yeah, I like that.
[00:04:55] [SPEAKER_05]: It felt really nice.
[00:04:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Like Jennifer McGinley.
[00:04:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, Jennifer McGinley.
[00:04:58] [SPEAKER_03]: I was hanging out with Karen last night at this get together
[00:05:02] [SPEAKER_03]: this party.
[00:05:02] [SPEAKER_03]: It was really fun and I was trying to get her interested
[00:05:05] [SPEAKER_03]: in The Daryl Show because she loves Europe and France
[00:05:08] [SPEAKER_03]: in particular and the south of France.
[00:05:11] [SPEAKER_03]: And she seemed interested so I sent her the first two episodes.
[00:05:15] [SPEAKER_03]: She might come and join us for one sometime if she does.
[00:05:17] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, that would be fun.
[00:05:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Hopefully.
[00:05:20] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, that would be sweet.
[00:05:23] [SPEAKER_03]: OK, let's get into this week's episode.
[00:05:25] [SPEAKER_03]: It's season one episode two.
[00:05:28] [SPEAKER_03]: Alouette, what did you think?
[00:05:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Did you dig it or not?
[00:05:31] [SPEAKER_05]: I really liked it.
[00:05:32] [SPEAKER_05]: But then when I was watching at the second time,
[00:05:35] [SPEAKER_05]: I was like, this is an episode of Fear of the Walking Dead.
[00:05:38] [SPEAKER_05]: I would be ripping it.
[00:05:39] [SPEAKER_05]: I'd be like, this is so stupid.
[00:05:41] [SPEAKER_05]: Who are these fucking children?
[00:05:43] [SPEAKER_05]: Blah, blah, blah.
[00:05:43] [SPEAKER_05]: But I actually, I don't know.
[00:05:45] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't know if it's just because the show is
[00:05:47] [SPEAKER_05]: of higher quality or I think I wrote somewhere in my notes.
[00:05:51] [SPEAKER_05]: This is the first group of feral children we've met
[00:05:53] [SPEAKER_05]: that I don't hate, like they seem pretty cool.
[00:05:55] [SPEAKER_05]: But the stand out for me was all the flashbacks.
[00:06:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh yeah, so good.
[00:06:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I know.
[00:06:04] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I feel kind of the same like the ugly American guy,
[00:06:09] [SPEAKER_03]: the bad guy that Daryl had to fight.
[00:06:11] [SPEAKER_03]: That was a pretty pedestrian plot.
[00:06:13] [SPEAKER_03]: And when those kids came up, I thought of Fear of the Walking Dead.
[00:06:16] [SPEAKER_03]: And I'm like, oh, they seem like right out of fear with their masks on and everything.
[00:06:19] [SPEAKER_03]: But it is a better written show as far as just the dialogue.
[00:06:24] [SPEAKER_03]: And I don't know, it's just listeners are like whatever guys, you're hypocrites.
[00:06:31] [SPEAKER_03]: But I just think the show, it kind of has a better understanding of people
[00:06:36] [SPEAKER_03]: and it's funnier and it's just more of a pleasure to watch.
[00:06:40] [SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, I think there's some cliched plot elements happening
[00:06:45] [SPEAKER_03]: but there are so many other things that are working really well that I was fine with it.
[00:06:49] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I think that's where I ended up as well.
[00:06:52] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I think that I have thoughts about the American guy.
[00:06:55] [SPEAKER_05]: But yeah, I know I thought it was a solid episode.
[00:06:57] [SPEAKER_05]: I really liked it.
[00:06:58] [SPEAKER_03]: All right.
[00:06:59] [SPEAKER_03]: What's your first point?
[00:07:01] [SPEAKER_05]: I mean, I just want to talk about the opening, the cold open with the flashback.
[00:07:04] [SPEAKER_05]: It was just great.
[00:07:06] [SPEAKER_05]: So good.
[00:07:07] [SPEAKER_05]: It was like a different world, a different film, a different universe.
[00:07:12] [SPEAKER_05]: I just thought it was great.
[00:07:14] [SPEAKER_05]: There was very little to no dialogue.
[00:07:16] [SPEAKER_05]: I think all you hear is Adam Nagaitis' character saying get in or something like that
[00:07:21] [SPEAKER_05]: but you don't, Isabel doesn't talk.
[00:07:23] [SPEAKER_05]: No dialogue through the whole thing.
[00:07:24] [SPEAKER_03]: And you're like, ah!
[00:07:26] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, and like the soundscape's under that visual of her standing looking over Paris
[00:07:32] [SPEAKER_05]: just as it is was in 2011, 2010.
[00:07:36] [SPEAKER_05]: City of Lights.
[00:07:37] [SPEAKER_05]: So beautiful.
[00:07:38] [SPEAKER_05]: It made me want to go back to Paris as well.
[00:07:40] [SPEAKER_05]: Absolutely.
[00:07:40] [SPEAKER_05]: Go back to Paris.
[00:07:41] [SPEAKER_03]: It made me want to go to a club, a fancy swanky club.
[00:07:44] Yeah.
[00:07:45] [SPEAKER_05]: I think it hit harder after COVID as well because we're all like, oh, yeah,
[00:07:50] [SPEAKER_05]: remember when we couldn't do that shit for two years?
[00:07:52] [SPEAKER_05]: And I say that, I don't mean to say after COVID
[00:07:55] [SPEAKER_05]: because it's obviously still happening and still around
[00:07:57] [SPEAKER_05]: but post lockdown for sure, it felt so liberated.
[00:08:03] [SPEAKER_05]: And just seeing Isabel a completely different version of her
[00:08:06] [SPEAKER_05]: I thought was so interesting and I loved, I've got my notes here.
[00:08:13] [SPEAKER_05]: I love the use of Blue Monday by New Order as well
[00:08:16] [SPEAKER_05]: which is just a great, great tune.
[00:08:18] [SPEAKER_05]: Watching it the second time round, you get more of a sense of Isabel
[00:08:24] [SPEAKER_05]: thieving and pickpocketing like there's some very prominent watches
[00:08:27] [SPEAKER_05]: with the men she's talking to
[00:08:28] [SPEAKER_05]: and she seems to have this move where she'll like put her hand
[00:08:31] [SPEAKER_05]: around their back of their neck and then be in their pocket
[00:08:34] [SPEAKER_05]: or taking their watch or whatever.
[00:08:37] [SPEAKER_05]: The scars on her wrist are quite pronounced.
[00:08:39] [SPEAKER_05]: So you get feeling that things are maybe not good recently.
[00:08:43] [SPEAKER_05]: She's doing a lot of cocaine.
[00:08:45] [SPEAKER_05]: The coolest bit I think was the metro station
[00:08:49] [SPEAKER_05]: and the train going past.
[00:08:51] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, that was my favorite.
[00:08:52] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, that was fucking cool.
[00:08:54] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, because well, yeah, like I love the way it built.
[00:08:59] [SPEAKER_03]: You know, she's outside smoking a cigarette
[00:09:01] [SPEAKER_03]: because it's France and then she hears a woman screaming.
[00:09:08] [SPEAKER_05]: Which sometimes on a night out you hear a group being loud
[00:09:11] [SPEAKER_05]: or fighting but it takes a turn.
[00:09:15] [SPEAKER_03]: And she doesn't know what she's looking at yet.
[00:09:18] [SPEAKER_03]: We know right away look for the zombie in that group
[00:09:21] [SPEAKER_03]: and you can see him trying to bite this guy that she's with
[00:09:25] [SPEAKER_03]: but for her it's just like, oh, rowdy people, you know.
[00:09:28] [SPEAKER_03]: I think sometimes when you hear that you just like,
[00:09:30] [SPEAKER_03]: I need to get away.
[00:09:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Which is what she did.
[00:09:32] [SPEAKER_03]: She kind of backed away and then a car rams into another guy
[00:09:38] [SPEAKER_03]: who's maybe a zombie.
[00:09:39] [SPEAKER_03]: I didn't go back and look and she's like,
[00:09:42] [SPEAKER_03]: what the fuck is going on?
[00:09:42] [SPEAKER_03]: Then she goes down in the subway and then it passes
[00:09:45] [SPEAKER_03]: and everyone's attacking and eating each other
[00:09:47] [SPEAKER_03]: and growling and screaming.
[00:09:49] [SPEAKER_05]: And I was like, oh my God.
[00:09:51] [SPEAKER_05]: The one's driving the train.
[00:09:53] [SPEAKER_05]: I tried to get a good loop but I don't think anyone's
[00:09:54] [SPEAKER_05]: driving the train so it doesn't stop.
[00:09:56] [SPEAKER_03]: And I was like, maybe I'll take the next one.
[00:09:59] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[00:10:02] [SPEAKER_05]: Absolute scenes and you're like, wait.
[00:10:03] [SPEAKER_03]: I've been in situations like that where a train comes along
[00:10:06] [SPEAKER_03]: and it's too packed, you know?
[00:10:08] [SPEAKER_03]: And I'm just like, eh, just wait.
[00:10:10] [SPEAKER_03]: But I'd probably have the same feeling here.
[00:10:13] [SPEAKER_05]: It was great.
[00:10:14] [SPEAKER_05]: I just loved that.
[00:10:15] [SPEAKER_05]: It was so cool.
[00:10:16] [SPEAKER_05]: And it reminded me of in The Walking Dead,
[00:10:21] [SPEAKER_05]: Akron when they're under, is it Philly?
[00:10:23] [SPEAKER_05]: No, they're not in Philly.
[00:10:24] [SPEAKER_05]: They're in DC and they're under.
[00:10:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[00:10:27] [SPEAKER_05]: And so we've seen that 12 years on
[00:10:30] [SPEAKER_05]: but we're seeing it kind of happening there.
[00:10:33] [SPEAKER_05]: Although it's in a different place,
[00:10:34] [SPEAKER_05]: you can imagine those kind of scenes happening somewhere
[00:10:37] [SPEAKER_05]: like DC and I just love that visual of it just.
[00:10:40] [SPEAKER_03]: And all the people were still there in DC.
[00:10:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Like there were zombies in the train still.
[00:10:46] [SPEAKER_03]: So some of these people that she just saw
[00:10:49] [SPEAKER_03]: might still be there too 12 years later on that train.
[00:10:52] [SPEAKER_05]: Because no one on that train can have survived.
[00:10:54] [SPEAKER_05]: Like because they can't have gone off, you know?
[00:10:57] [SPEAKER_05]: So I just thought that was wonderful.
[00:11:00] [SPEAKER_05]: And then she runs up into the plaza outside San George
[00:11:03] [SPEAKER_05]: and she's so disorientated.
[00:11:06] [SPEAKER_05]: Because she's also like on a downer.
[00:11:08] [SPEAKER_05]: She's like coming down from midnight out
[00:11:10] [SPEAKER_05]: and her confusion and numbness is really real.
[00:11:14] [SPEAKER_05]: And then we see a really, I love this actor, Adam the Gaitis.
[00:11:18] [SPEAKER_05]: Did you recognize him, Jason?
[00:11:20] [SPEAKER_03]: The guy that picked her up?
[00:11:22] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[00:11:22] [SPEAKER_03]: No.
[00:11:23] [SPEAKER_05]: He was inter-noble.
[00:11:25] [SPEAKER_05]: He played Vasili inter-noble.
[00:11:27] [SPEAKER_05]: He was also Hickey in The Terror.
[00:11:30] [SPEAKER_05]: He had a lot of HBO roles for a while.
[00:11:32] [SPEAKER_05]: He's a British actor.
[00:11:34] [SPEAKER_05]: I hope it's not the last we've seen of him
[00:11:36] [SPEAKER_05]: because I quite liked him in this.
[00:11:37] [SPEAKER_05]: And there's a lot of ambiguity there of like,
[00:11:40] [SPEAKER_05]: is he your dealer?
[00:11:41] [SPEAKER_05]: Is he a pimp?
[00:11:42] [SPEAKER_05]: Like it's, there's something there that's not straightforward.
[00:11:46] [SPEAKER_05]: It just seems straightforward to me.
[00:11:50] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't know.
[00:11:50] [SPEAKER_05]: I thought there was like him.
[00:11:51] [SPEAKER_03]: And he's getting pretty intimate with her when he's trying
[00:11:53] [SPEAKER_03]: to convince her to leave her sister because she's pregnant.
[00:11:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:11:58] [SPEAKER_03]: And it looked like a boyfriend trying to convince
[00:12:00] [SPEAKER_03]: a girlfriend to me, but I don't know.
[00:12:02] [SPEAKER_05]: Also, I'm going to just put it out there
[00:12:04] [SPEAKER_05]: that baby is totally his.
[00:12:07] [SPEAKER_03]: You think so?
[00:12:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:12:08] [SPEAKER_03]: I really think so.
[00:12:09] [SPEAKER_03]: When she's like, he's the father.
[00:12:10] [SPEAKER_03]: I saw them in the chat two people were saying that.
[00:12:11] [SPEAKER_05]: And they're like, no, what?
[00:12:13] [SPEAKER_05]: No.
[00:12:13] [SPEAKER_05]: And I'm like, that baby is his for sure.
[00:12:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Because she wouldn't, yeah.
[00:12:16] [SPEAKER_03]: I think it's, I think he's her boyfriend.
[00:12:18] [SPEAKER_03]: But I also think you could be right
[00:12:20] [SPEAKER_03]: that the baby could be his.
[00:12:21] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[00:12:22] [SPEAKER_05]: It's, but anyway, I loved the, just the whole thing.
[00:12:25] [SPEAKER_05]: I thought it was one of the strongest cold opens
[00:12:27] [SPEAKER_05]: the show has ever done.
[00:12:28] [SPEAKER_05]: And it was just like everything.
[00:12:30] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[00:12:32] [SPEAKER_05]: I mean, I mean, the walking, I mean,
[00:12:35] [SPEAKER_05]: of the whole Walking Dead series called open also.
[00:12:39] [SPEAKER_05]: Paris is just fucking cool, man.
[00:12:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it is.
[00:12:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh my God.
[00:12:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:12:45] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, we haven't seen a lot of flashbacks in the Walking Dead
[00:12:51] [SPEAKER_03]: pre apocalyptic flashbacks.
[00:12:53] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, it sort of counts as pre.
[00:12:55] [SPEAKER_03]: It's kind of at the beginning, but there was one of Lori
[00:12:58] [SPEAKER_03]: picking up Carl from school and she was telling her friend
[00:13:03] [SPEAKER_03]: she'd been fighting with Rick and then Shane shows up
[00:13:05] [SPEAKER_03]: to tell them that Rick's been shot or something.
[00:13:07] [SPEAKER_03]: I think it was like that.
[00:13:08] [SPEAKER_03]: And there was one of Michonne.
[00:13:10] [SPEAKER_03]: It was kind of a dream slash flashback of her boyfriend
[00:13:13] [SPEAKER_03]: and his friend in their apartment or something.
[00:13:15] [SPEAKER_03]: And then there was Negan cheating on his wife who had cancer.
[00:13:19] [SPEAKER_03]: That was fun.
[00:13:19] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, yeah, that one.
[00:13:20] [SPEAKER_05]: Do you know he loves kids though?
[00:13:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's true.
[00:13:24] [SPEAKER_03]: I can never resist.
[00:13:26] [SPEAKER_03]: I know.
[00:13:27] [SPEAKER_03]: But I always thought that the Walking Dead would be great
[00:13:31] [SPEAKER_03]: with, did you watch Lost?
[00:13:33] [SPEAKER_05]: I did.
[00:13:34] [SPEAKER_05]: And one of the things I liked most about the first season
[00:13:36] [SPEAKER_05]: was the flashbacks.
[00:13:38] [SPEAKER_05]: I thought that was really cool.
[00:13:39] [SPEAKER_05]: I feel like Darabont touched on it a little bit,
[00:13:42] [SPEAKER_05]: but not enough.
[00:13:43] [SPEAKER_05]: And there was, was there not?
[00:13:44] [SPEAKER_05]: We saw the bombing of...
[00:13:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Of Atlanta, but that's kind of during.
[00:13:50] [SPEAKER_03]: But it is.
[00:13:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I guess that counts.
[00:13:51] [SPEAKER_03]: But I mean, I thought Walking Dead would be a great show
[00:13:56] [SPEAKER_03]: to do that with where you see a lot of flashbacks
[00:13:59] [SPEAKER_03]: because A, the contrast of civilization with post-apocalyptic
[00:14:04] [SPEAKER_03]: would be cool to keep seeing.
[00:14:06] [SPEAKER_03]: But B, it would be interesting to see how different people
[00:14:10] [SPEAKER_03]: were before and after the stresses of the zombie,
[00:14:13] [SPEAKER_03]: how it changed them or didn't change some people.
[00:14:15] [SPEAKER_03]: You know?
[00:14:15] [SPEAKER_03]: But I think maybe one reason why they didn't do that
[00:14:18] [SPEAKER_03]: is because Walking Dead started the year,
[00:14:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Lost ended 2010 and Lost was so big
[00:14:24] [SPEAKER_03]: and they were just, were doing that in some fashion
[00:14:27] [SPEAKER_03]: or another.
[00:14:28] [SPEAKER_03]: They were doing flashbacks and other things like that,
[00:14:30] [SPEAKER_03]: the whole series.
[00:14:32] [SPEAKER_03]: So maybe Walking Dead didn't want to just feel
[00:14:34] [SPEAKER_03]: like they were copying them.
[00:14:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Anyway.
[00:14:36] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, that can make sense, I guess.
[00:14:38] [SPEAKER_05]: Well, I'm glad they moved away from that for this
[00:14:42] [SPEAKER_05]: because I thought it was just really, really well done.
[00:14:46] [SPEAKER_05]: I think, I just think Clamence Pozzi is a fantastic actor,
[00:14:50] [SPEAKER_05]: but I just think that whole, it was a brave decision
[00:14:52] [SPEAKER_05]: to have it be all show, no tell.
[00:14:56] [SPEAKER_05]: And yeah, it really paid off and it lights the way it.
[00:15:00] [SPEAKER_05]: So at the start, I noticed this more in the second watch.
[00:15:02] [SPEAKER_05]: The flashbacks were quite evenly spaced.
[00:15:05] [SPEAKER_05]: So it was like, you saw that then there was a little bit of on the road.
[00:15:11] [SPEAKER_05]: Then there was a bigger flashback and then we kind of had a bit
[00:15:13] [SPEAKER_05]: in the middle where it's more in the present timeline.
[00:15:16] [SPEAKER_05]: It's almost like, I don't know, the way they cut it
[00:15:18] [SPEAKER_05]: and the way they balanced it was really cool.
[00:15:20] [SPEAKER_05]: It's like you start in the past.
[00:15:21] [SPEAKER_03]: You came back to it at the end.
[00:15:23] [SPEAKER_05]: It swelled and then quick at the end.
[00:15:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, at the end because she's talking to Lauren
[00:15:29] [SPEAKER_03]: about he doesn't want to be special
[00:15:30] [SPEAKER_03]: and we're seeing Lauren's origin story.
[00:15:33] [SPEAKER_03]: So that was very elegantly told.
[00:15:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's kind of what we mean about a quality show
[00:15:37] [SPEAKER_03]: even though it has some sort of stereotypical plot lines.
[00:15:42] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, Peter leaned over and went, oh my God,
[00:15:44] [SPEAKER_05]: is this going to be how Laurent is born?
[00:15:46] [SPEAKER_05]: And I was like, I'd already watched it once
[00:15:47] [SPEAKER_05]: and I was like, maybe.
[00:15:50] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I didn't get that until,
[00:15:52] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I think it might have kind of occurred to me.
[00:15:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Maybe this is Laurent, but I'm like, I don't know.
[00:15:57] [SPEAKER_03]: And then at the end I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:15:58] [SPEAKER_03]: But a couple more things about before shit starts hitting the fan
[00:16:04] [SPEAKER_03]: is seeing her in this club.
[00:16:08] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm thinking it's a great contrast to the Abbey
[00:16:12] [SPEAKER_03]: that we see her in later and her nuns habit
[00:16:14] [SPEAKER_03]: versus this swanky like cocktail dress or whatever club dress.
[00:16:19] [SPEAKER_03]: And you think, or at least I thought
[00:16:22] [SPEAKER_03]: she's going to be this big heathness
[00:16:24] [SPEAKER_03]: maybe into sex and drugs
[00:16:26] [SPEAKER_03]: and this is in contrast to the life she gave up to become a nun.
[00:16:30] [SPEAKER_03]: It is kind of like that.
[00:16:31] [SPEAKER_03]: She did snort coke, but the thief part is kind of the twist
[00:16:34] [SPEAKER_03]: rather than actually being interested in these guys
[00:16:36] [SPEAKER_03]: that she's kind of get sidling up next to.
[00:16:40] [SPEAKER_03]: And then, yeah, we saw her wrist already had the scars
[00:16:44] [SPEAKER_03]: and when she snorted the coke,
[00:16:45] [SPEAKER_03]: that's the song sort of kicked in
[00:16:48] [SPEAKER_03]: and it goes, makes your heart pump.
[00:16:51] [SPEAKER_03]: Right at that moment.
[00:16:53] [SPEAKER_03]: And then we see that she's pickpocketed the guys
[00:16:56] [SPEAKER_03]: which I thought was actually a bit comic booky.
[00:16:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Like I felt like I was watching a network TV show
[00:17:00] [SPEAKER_03]: all of a sudden.
[00:17:02] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know, it's a little,
[00:17:04] [SPEAKER_03]: I guess it fits into the walking dead pretty well.
[00:17:07] [SPEAKER_03]: It would have been more grounded if she actually just was
[00:17:10] [SPEAKER_03]: like, you know, fooling around with a bunch of guys
[00:17:13] [SPEAKER_03]: and doing drugs.
[00:17:14] [SPEAKER_05]: Maybe she does both on a good night.
[00:17:18] [SPEAKER_03]: And then takes their stuff.
[00:17:21] [SPEAKER_03]: But anyway, I loved it.
[00:17:23] [SPEAKER_03]: I loved the first 10 minutes so much
[00:17:25] [SPEAKER_03]: and I didn't even realize it didn't have dialogue.
[00:17:26] [SPEAKER_03]: So I'm glad you pointed that out.
[00:17:28] [SPEAKER_03]: That makes me like an even more.
[00:17:29] [SPEAKER_05]: No, I didn't tweak it till the second time
[00:17:31] [SPEAKER_05]: and then I was like, oh, she doesn't actually talk.
[00:17:33] [SPEAKER_05]: Like he, because I thought it's going to be fully non-verbal
[00:17:37] [SPEAKER_05]: but then I think his name is Quinton maybe.
[00:17:42] [SPEAKER_05]: I looked at his names on IMDB,
[00:17:44] [SPEAKER_05]: but yeah, Adam the guy to say character comes in
[00:17:46] [SPEAKER_05]: and talks and that, but it's only really brief
[00:17:49] [SPEAKER_05]: and it sounds like background noise.
[00:17:50] [SPEAKER_05]: The way they've dubbed it, it sounds like he's far away.
[00:17:53] [SPEAKER_05]: It's not like he's directly speaking to her.
[00:17:55] [SPEAKER_05]: But I was thinking about it in relation
[00:17:57] [SPEAKER_05]: to how this episode ends
[00:17:59] [SPEAKER_05]: and it's almost like she, we move from that
[00:18:03] [SPEAKER_05]: to her finding religion all in this one episode.
[00:18:06] [SPEAKER_05]: Like that's her journey is like she goes from that night
[00:18:09] [SPEAKER_05]: to these 48 hours where she loses her sister,
[00:18:13] [SPEAKER_05]: gains this baby
[00:18:14] [SPEAKER_05]: and ends up standing in front of the statue of Saint Laurent
[00:18:16] [SPEAKER_05]: and yeah, it's just a really interesting journey.
[00:18:20] [SPEAKER_05]: It's like a lot of character development in 48 hours
[00:18:23] [SPEAKER_05]: but it's very compelling.
[00:18:26] [SPEAKER_03]: It's just, you said this was your favorite part.
[00:18:30] [SPEAKER_03]: It was mine too.
[00:18:31] [SPEAKER_03]: And I think, you know, Robert Kirkman wanted to do the zombie movie
[00:18:35] [SPEAKER_03]: that kept going and we got the walking down out of it
[00:18:38] [SPEAKER_03]: and that's awesome.
[00:18:39] [SPEAKER_03]: It's so awesome.
[00:18:40] [SPEAKER_03]: But it's interesting how you can have this scene
[00:18:43] [SPEAKER_03]: where Isabelle comes upon this guy
[00:18:46] [SPEAKER_03]: who she thinks is maybe hurt or something
[00:18:48] [SPEAKER_03]: and he's, he gets up and he's a zombie, right?
[00:18:51] [SPEAKER_03]: And it seems so terrifying.
[00:18:53] [SPEAKER_03]: And then you can have later Daryl falling into a moat of zombies
[00:18:56] [SPEAKER_03]: which is totally kick ass
[00:18:57] [SPEAKER_03]: but it's not nearly as tense
[00:18:59] [SPEAKER_03]: because you know Daryl already understands the threat
[00:19:02] [SPEAKER_03]: and when you're in Isabelle's shoe
[00:19:05] [SPEAKER_03]: she doesn't know what the fuck is going on
[00:19:07] [SPEAKER_03]: and that's why it's so much scarier at the beginning
[00:19:09] [SPEAKER_03]: when you're like, they just don't know, you know.
[00:19:13] [SPEAKER_03]: And later we'll talk about it with her sister too
[00:19:16] [SPEAKER_03]: but that's like that too
[00:19:17] [SPEAKER_03]: when her sister turns and she's excited about it at first
[00:19:20] [SPEAKER_03]: thinking maybe she's still alive, you know.
[00:19:22] [SPEAKER_03]: It is like, nope.
[00:19:23] [SPEAKER_05]: It reminded me of Amy and Andrea.
[00:19:28] [SPEAKER_05]: But yeah, the same look too, that fresh zombie look.
[00:19:31] [SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, their sisters.
[00:19:32] [SPEAKER_05]: So brutal.
[00:19:34] [SPEAKER_03]: All right.
[00:19:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Anything else about the opener?
[00:19:38] [SPEAKER_05]: Just that it was great.
[00:19:39] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, it was pretty awesome.
[00:19:42] [SPEAKER_03]: I can't imagine if anybody didn't like that
[00:19:44] [SPEAKER_03]: write in and let us know.
[00:19:45] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm so curious about why you wouldn't like that.
[00:19:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, my first one is kind of long.
[00:19:54] [SPEAKER_03]: It's about lying because there's lots of lying in this episode.
[00:19:58] [SPEAKER_03]: And Isabelle for a nun lies a lot.
[00:20:01] [SPEAKER_03]: She's a liar.
[00:20:01] [SPEAKER_03]: She lied to Daryl about the radio
[00:20:05] [SPEAKER_03]: and she's saying to these people that Daryl is father Daryl
[00:20:09] [SPEAKER_03]: which I kind of love.
[00:20:10] [SPEAKER_05]: That Peter laughed out loud at that point.
[00:20:13] [SPEAKER_05]: He's like, nah.
[00:20:14] [SPEAKER_05]: And I was like, yeah.
[00:20:15] [SPEAKER_03]: It's funny and that's why I know the writers are like
[00:20:19] [SPEAKER_03]: people are going to love this, you know, and they're right.
[00:20:22] [SPEAKER_03]: There's this exchange with Daryl and Laurent.
[00:20:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, they come upon this narrow lane
[00:20:27] [SPEAKER_03]: which most are in Europe.
[00:20:29] [SPEAKER_03]: So I kind of love that.
[00:20:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Zeds come out and Daryl fires a gun to spook the meal
[00:20:33] [SPEAKER_03]: so it runs and the Zeds follow.
[00:20:35] [SPEAKER_03]: I thought, wow, you were pretty quick to get rid of your horse there.
[00:20:37] [SPEAKER_03]: Maybe you couldn't turn around because the road's too narrow.
[00:20:41] [SPEAKER_05]: Very disposable donkey or horse or whatever.
[00:20:44] [SPEAKER_05]: I was like, Daryl, come on.
[00:20:47] [SPEAKER_03]: And Laurent's all worried and Sylvie's like,
[00:20:49] [SPEAKER_03]: no, the meal's fast and he'll get away
[00:20:51] [SPEAKER_03]: and Isabelle says she's sure he ran to the apple orchard
[00:20:54] [SPEAKER_03]: and Daryl's like just tell him the truth.
[00:20:56] [SPEAKER_03]: He's got to learn some time
[00:20:57] [SPEAKER_03]: and she goes, you don't have children, do you?
[00:20:59] [SPEAKER_03]: The truth can wait.
[00:21:00] [SPEAKER_03]: And I'm like, I pretty much tell my kids the truth
[00:21:04] [SPEAKER_03]: about anything they ask about.
[00:21:06] [SPEAKER_03]: I really do because hey, if they can handle
[00:21:09] [SPEAKER_03]: these gruesome nursery rhymes, then they can handle the truth
[00:21:11] [SPEAKER_03]: about the world.
[00:21:14] [SPEAKER_05]: Also I freaking hate when people say you don't have children, do you?
[00:21:17] [SPEAKER_05]: And I'm like, doesn't it mean that I don't make decisions?
[00:21:19] [SPEAKER_05]: Like it doesn't mean that I'm an absolute awful person.
[00:21:22] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I don't know anything.
[00:21:23] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I do have children and I would tell them.
[00:21:26] [SPEAKER_03]: But at first I thought it seemed like
[00:21:29] [SPEAKER_03]: they were contrasting Isabelle who's been lying about things
[00:21:33] [SPEAKER_03]: with Daryl, who we think of as a straight shooter.
[00:21:37] [SPEAKER_03]: And there was this amazing scene I thought
[00:21:40] [SPEAKER_03]: where they're all sitting down at the table
[00:21:42] [SPEAKER_03]: and I just love that this long table
[00:21:44] [SPEAKER_03]: and they're all setting their places and everything
[00:21:46] [SPEAKER_03]: and kind of bullying poor Laura.
[00:21:51] [SPEAKER_03]: Then they ask Daryl, that father Daryl
[00:21:54] [SPEAKER_03]: to lead them in a prayer of thanks.
[00:21:56] [SPEAKER_03]: And he's like, you mean like saying grace?
[00:22:00] [SPEAKER_03]: And they're like, yeah.
[00:22:01] [SPEAKER_03]: And then he said this prayer which got me really choked up.
[00:22:07] [SPEAKER_03]: He said, oh Lord, I'm sure you have your reasons
[00:22:10] [SPEAKER_03]: for turning the whole world upside down.
[00:22:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Maybe we deserve it for being so mean to each other.
[00:22:14] [SPEAKER_03]: We probably do deserve it.
[00:22:16] [SPEAKER_03]: But not tonight.
[00:22:17] [SPEAKER_03]: No, tonight is good.
[00:22:18] [SPEAKER_03]: And if that isn't good enough for you,
[00:22:20] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know what is.
[00:22:22] [SPEAKER_03]: And Isabelle smiling at him and I'm thinking
[00:22:26] [SPEAKER_03]: this is really sincere and I don't know if Daryl
[00:22:28] [SPEAKER_03]: ever intentionally bullshits people.
[00:22:31] [SPEAKER_03]: He just, he's sincere.
[00:22:34] [SPEAKER_03]: But then Daryl wants this mule, another mule or a horse
[00:22:38] [SPEAKER_03]: because he says it's too far to walk so they need a horse
[00:22:41] [SPEAKER_03]: and just conveniently some dude's been hoarding
[00:22:45] [SPEAKER_03]: horses and not food and fuel at this castle.
[00:22:48] [SPEAKER_05]: And he's from Texas, Jason God.
[00:22:51] [SPEAKER_05]: You know, they thought about horse hoarding.
[00:22:53] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't know what she was trying to tell us
[00:22:54] [SPEAKER_05]: about people from Texas.
[00:22:57] [SPEAKER_03]: And Daryl, you know, and the kids say it's dangerous
[00:23:00] [SPEAKER_03]: and they tried raiding the place and it's dangerous
[00:23:02] [SPEAKER_03]: and then Daryl convinces them to show him where it is
[00:23:05] [SPEAKER_03]: by saying that there's medicine there
[00:23:07] [SPEAKER_03]: and the teacher will die without it.
[00:23:09] [SPEAKER_03]: And when he said that I'm like, oh,
[00:23:12] [SPEAKER_03]: that seems like bad writing.
[00:23:13] [SPEAKER_03]: How would anyone know what medicine to give this teacher?
[00:23:16] [SPEAKER_03]: But then Isabelle asks that and Daryl says,
[00:23:19] [SPEAKER_03]: it won't, we just need that horse.
[00:23:20] [SPEAKER_03]: And my first reaction was, oh, that's good writing.
[00:23:23] [SPEAKER_03]: He's making it up to get what he wants and it's kind of
[00:23:25] [SPEAKER_03]: flawed and I like it.
[00:23:26] [SPEAKER_03]: But then I'm like, oh wait, Daryl did bullshit
[00:23:28] [SPEAKER_03]: someone intentionally right then.
[00:23:30] [SPEAKER_03]: And he's a liar too.
[00:23:32] [SPEAKER_03]: And he just wants this horse to get home.
[00:23:35] [SPEAKER_03]: And then after that lie, it's like,
[00:23:39] [SPEAKER_03]: okay, I think Isabelle realizes this too
[00:23:41] [SPEAKER_03]: that Daryl is not really interested in getting Laurent
[00:23:44] [SPEAKER_03]: to this other place.
[00:23:45] [SPEAKER_03]: He just wants to go home
[00:23:46] [SPEAKER_03]: and he's using whatever he can to get that.
[00:23:50] [SPEAKER_03]: And even when he talks about the show,
[00:23:53] [SPEAKER_03]: which we'll talk about later,
[00:23:54] [SPEAKER_03]: but Isabelle's like, did you watch that TV show,
[00:23:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Mark and Mindy?
[00:23:57] [SPEAKER_03]: And he's like, yeah, I mean my brother.
[00:23:59] [SPEAKER_03]: And she's like, I understand wanting to escape.
[00:24:02] [SPEAKER_03]: And I think she's realizing he just wants to escape,
[00:24:06] [SPEAKER_03]: you know, and she understands it
[00:24:09] [SPEAKER_03]: because she used to have a lot of escapes too, distractions.
[00:24:11] [SPEAKER_03]: But then later Lou, this girl,
[00:24:17] [SPEAKER_03]: that's the head of the kids,
[00:24:19] [SPEAKER_03]: the oldest kid said, how did you come to France?
[00:24:22] [SPEAKER_03]: And Daryl says it's a long story.
[00:24:25] [SPEAKER_03]: You can get it on Blu-ray 11 seasons.
[00:24:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:24:30] [SPEAKER_03]: But not in the UK for some reason.
[00:24:32] [SPEAKER_03]: They're weird by airing it.
[00:24:33] [SPEAKER_03]: You gotta get a VPN.
[00:24:35] [SPEAKER_03]: He says the only part that matters
[00:24:37] [SPEAKER_03]: is I get home to my people.
[00:24:38] [SPEAKER_03]: So that just,
[00:24:39] [SPEAKER_03]: but in service of getting home,
[00:24:41] [SPEAKER_03]: he's putting this girl Lou in danger,
[00:24:43] [SPEAKER_03]: which is pretty bad.
[00:24:44] [SPEAKER_03]: This is a situation where I think
[00:24:46] [SPEAKER_03]: the writing isn't quite as good.
[00:24:48] [SPEAKER_03]: It's typical walking dead where there's some super questionable.
[00:24:52] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, you got a point.
[00:24:54] [SPEAKER_05]: I would agree with you,
[00:24:55] [SPEAKER_05]: apart from the fact that he locks Lou in that shed
[00:24:58] [SPEAKER_05]: and doesn't like her coming in.
[00:25:00] [SPEAKER_03]: That was nice.
[00:25:01] [SPEAKER_03]: But what if he died?
[00:25:03] [SPEAKER_05]: And she'd have a long time in the shed.
[00:25:07] [SPEAKER_03]: He took her there lying to her
[00:25:10] [SPEAKER_03]: that this medicine was going to help her teacher
[00:25:12] [SPEAKER_03]: and put her in.
[00:25:14] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, yes, he didn't put her as much danger as he could have,
[00:25:17] [SPEAKER_03]: but it was still pretty bad.
[00:25:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Like I think,
[00:25:21] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, she's a child
[00:25:23] [SPEAKER_03]: and he took her into this
[00:25:26] [SPEAKER_03]: a really potentially deadly situation.
[00:25:31] [SPEAKER_03]: And that's pretty fucked up.
[00:25:33] [SPEAKER_05]: No, I agree.
[00:25:35] [SPEAKER_05]: He did get the medicine,
[00:25:36] [SPEAKER_05]: which I thought was interesting.
[00:25:38] [SPEAKER_05]: I was like, I mean, he's okay.
[00:25:39] [SPEAKER_05]: He's going through with it
[00:25:41] [SPEAKER_05]: the full way then that, yes, okay, here's the medicine.
[00:25:44] [SPEAKER_05]: It's not going to do anything.
[00:25:45] [SPEAKER_05]: Like I do think you have a point there
[00:25:47] [SPEAKER_05]: about pulling kids into that situation.
[00:25:50] [SPEAKER_05]: He wouldn't have done that to Judith.
[00:25:51] [SPEAKER_03]: He put her in a really dangerous situation
[00:25:53] [SPEAKER_03]: under false pretenses so we could get what he wanted.
[00:25:56] [SPEAKER_03]: And so he got the medicine
[00:25:58] [SPEAKER_03]: and I was wondering about that because
[00:26:01] [SPEAKER_03]: maybe there was a part of him that thought,
[00:26:03] [SPEAKER_03]: well, maybe this could help.
[00:26:04] [SPEAKER_03]: But I think, I mean, he even told her at the end.
[00:26:07] [SPEAKER_03]: It wouldn't have helped anyway.
[00:26:08] [SPEAKER_03]: So I think he didn't really think it would help.
[00:26:11] [SPEAKER_03]: I think the only reason he got the medicine
[00:26:12] [SPEAKER_03]: was just to keep the lie going
[00:26:14] [SPEAKER_03]: until they could get out of there.
[00:26:16] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[00:26:17] [SPEAKER_03]: You know, otherwise,
[00:26:18] [SPEAKER_03]: when he came out with just a horse,
[00:26:20] [SPEAKER_03]: she'd be like, where's the medicine?
[00:26:22] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh shit.
[00:26:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh yeah, right.
[00:26:24] [SPEAKER_03]: The medicine.
[00:26:26] [SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[00:26:27] [SPEAKER_05]: Wait here.
[00:26:29] [SPEAKER_05]: Just wait here one sec.
[00:26:30] [SPEAKER_05]: This guy's from Texas.
[00:26:31] [SPEAKER_05]: He's really cool.
[00:26:32] [SPEAKER_05]: We'll be back in a minute.
[00:26:33] [SPEAKER_03]: It's actually an apple.
[00:26:34] [SPEAKER_03]: An apple a day.
[00:26:37] [SPEAKER_05]: We'll go and see if the horse has picked some.
[00:26:40] [SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, and then
[00:26:42] [SPEAKER_03]: at the end he comes clean about it with her.
[00:26:45] [SPEAKER_03]: The meds were never going to help her.
[00:26:47] [SPEAKER_03]: I lied to you to get a horse.
[00:26:49] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm sorry.
[00:26:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, good job coming clean,
[00:26:51] [SPEAKER_03]: but fuck you like what?
[00:26:54] [SPEAKER_03]: And she doesn't seem to care,
[00:26:55] [SPEAKER_03]: which is why I think the writing's a little off.
[00:26:57] [SPEAKER_03]: And then she goes,
[00:26:58] [SPEAKER_03]: so what are we going to do without her?
[00:26:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Because her teacher had just died
[00:27:00] [SPEAKER_03]: and Darryl basically says,
[00:27:02] [SPEAKER_03]: nah, you'll be fine.
[00:27:03] [SPEAKER_03]: People are usually fine in the ZA,
[00:27:04] [SPEAKER_03]: especially kids.
[00:27:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Bye.
[00:27:09] [SPEAKER_05]: They got hedgehog back, I guess.
[00:27:11] [SPEAKER_05]: They seem to like hedgehog.
[00:27:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Apparently Darryl's never read Lord of the Flies.
[00:27:15] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I think it was a little morally dubious
[00:27:17] [SPEAKER_03]: to just leave these kids alone,
[00:27:19] [SPEAKER_03]: even though they know how to grow stuff.
[00:27:22] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I was kind of trying to figure out
[00:27:23] [SPEAKER_05]: how old Lou was.
[00:27:25] [SPEAKER_05]: And I was like, she is at most
[00:27:27] [SPEAKER_03]: 16.
[00:27:28] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I would say.
[00:27:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, not 20.
[00:27:30] [SPEAKER_03]: You're right.
[00:27:30] [SPEAKER_05]: So we've established it's 12 years.
[00:27:34] [SPEAKER_05]: It was a preschool.
[00:27:36] [SPEAKER_05]: So logically, the oldest she could have been
[00:27:38] [SPEAKER_05]: is about four.
[00:27:39] [SPEAKER_05]: So yeah, she's kind of 16.
[00:27:41] [SPEAKER_05]: And she's great.
[00:27:42] [SPEAKER_05]: I really liked her character.
[00:27:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh yeah.
[00:27:44] [SPEAKER_05]: But yeah, it was not
[00:27:47] [SPEAKER_05]: the morally nicest thing to have done there.
[00:27:51] [SPEAKER_05]: I definitely agree with that.
[00:27:52] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and I mean,
[00:27:54] [SPEAKER_03]: as soon as they got to the preschool,
[00:27:57] [SPEAKER_03]: I thought, well, they're all going to be dead.
[00:27:59] [SPEAKER_03]: You know?
[00:28:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:28:00] [SPEAKER_03]: So at least they're not yet, you know.
[00:28:02] [SPEAKER_03]: And hopefully we'll never see them again.
[00:28:04] [SPEAKER_03]: We'll just be able to think they're fine.
[00:28:06] [SPEAKER_05]: Well, just like those kids in fear who we never saw again
[00:28:09] [SPEAKER_05]: after they worked in oil refinery.
[00:28:12] [SPEAKER_05]: That's ridiculous.
[00:28:13] [SPEAKER_03]: And this at least makes sense because they're on the move.
[00:28:15] [SPEAKER_03]: They're not supposed to be taking care of these kids.
[00:28:18] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I did laugh at preschool.
[00:28:21] [SPEAKER_05]: There's a show I really like,
[00:28:22] [SPEAKER_05]: crazy ex-girlfriend.
[00:28:23] [SPEAKER_05]: There's a running joke in it that one of the characters
[00:28:25] [SPEAKER_05]: goes off to priest school.
[00:28:27] [SPEAKER_05]: But every time they say it,
[00:28:28] [SPEAKER_05]: they think they say priest school and they're like,
[00:28:30] [SPEAKER_05]: why is he going to preschool?
[00:28:31] [SPEAKER_05]: No, no, priest school.
[00:28:33] [SPEAKER_05]: So I was laughing.
[00:28:34] [SPEAKER_05]: They're just like, is it priest school or preschool?
[00:28:36] [SPEAKER_05]: Both are relevant to the show.
[00:28:40] [SPEAKER_03]: And about lying,
[00:28:42] [SPEAKER_03]: we find out that
[00:28:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Isabel has lied to Laurent about where he came from
[00:28:48] [SPEAKER_03]: and he's telling these kids at the
[00:28:50] [SPEAKER_03]: at the preschool
[00:28:53] [SPEAKER_03]: that after mother went to be with the angels,
[00:28:56] [SPEAKER_03]: my father, he was falsely imprisoned,
[00:28:57] [SPEAKER_03]: joined the foreign legion to fight the hungry ones.
[00:29:00] [SPEAKER_03]: He was a hero who gave his life for a free France.
[00:29:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Even when a medal, they're all laughing at him.
[00:29:06] [SPEAKER_03]: They're like, those penguins tricked you.
[00:29:08] [SPEAKER_05]: Penguins, I love that.
[00:29:10] [SPEAKER_05]: I missed it the first time around then I was like,
[00:29:12] [SPEAKER_05]: yeah, penguins, that's funny.
[00:29:14] [SPEAKER_03]: And I mean, for a smart kid,
[00:29:16] [SPEAKER_03]: he's not too bright,
[00:29:17] [SPEAKER_03]: although there are different kinds of intelligence.
[00:29:19] [SPEAKER_05]: I liked this episode a lot because of that
[00:29:22] [SPEAKER_05]: and it's kind of one of my points is
[00:29:25] [SPEAKER_05]: Laurent is getting his shell broken here
[00:29:29] [SPEAKER_05]: because the nuns have kind of done a number on him
[00:29:32] [SPEAKER_05]: by making him this like blessed child
[00:29:35] [SPEAKER_05]: who can do no wrong and cherishing him,
[00:29:39] [SPEAKER_05]: and lying to him and coddling him.
[00:29:41] [SPEAKER_05]: And he's through the looking glass now
[00:29:44] [SPEAKER_05]: and these kids are like treating him like a normal kid.
[00:29:47] [SPEAKER_05]: Like they're being mean to him.
[00:29:48] [SPEAKER_05]: They're telling him that sounds like bullshit,
[00:29:50] [SPEAKER_05]: but they're also being kind to him within that meanness.
[00:29:53] [SPEAKER_05]: Like there's a bit of kind of bullying
[00:29:56] [SPEAKER_05]: and joshing from some of the kids,
[00:29:57] [SPEAKER_05]: but there's also like let's just play together.
[00:30:00] [SPEAKER_05]: And they're not saying that sounds made up to ruin his life.
[00:30:03] [SPEAKER_05]: They're just being honest that like someone has lied to you.
[00:30:06] [SPEAKER_05]: That sounds made up.
[00:30:07] [SPEAKER_03]: They're kind of mocking, but it's in a way that kids do.
[00:30:10] [SPEAKER_03]: And the kid that didn't want him to take the seat,
[00:30:12] [SPEAKER_03]: it was because he thought his brother was coming back,
[00:30:14] [SPEAKER_03]: which is another lie that girl Lou said
[00:30:19] [SPEAKER_03]: that she went to raid this place with those two kids
[00:30:23] [SPEAKER_03]: and that they went to find more help,
[00:30:25] [SPEAKER_03]: but really well one of them turned out was trapped there
[00:30:27] [SPEAKER_03]: and then this kid's brother was in the moat as a zombie.
[00:30:30] [SPEAKER_03]: But anyway, so that kid, he seemed pretty mean,
[00:30:32] [SPEAKER_03]: but it was just more about his brother
[00:30:34] [SPEAKER_03]: like being protective of his brother's spot.
[00:30:36] [SPEAKER_03]: And yeah, I think the other kids are just like treating kids
[00:30:39] [SPEAKER_03]: like kids do and by the end of it, you know, he was like,
[00:30:42] [SPEAKER_03]: yeah, when you give someone shit like that,
[00:30:44] [SPEAKER_03]: if you do it in a certain way, even as adults,
[00:30:47] [SPEAKER_03]: it kind of means I respect you enough to think that
[00:30:51] [SPEAKER_03]: you can handle this and that we can kind of be real
[00:30:53] [SPEAKER_03]: with each other and that we're buds, you know.
[00:30:56] [SPEAKER_03]: And some people push that too hard where it turns into bullying,
[00:30:59] [SPEAKER_03]: but like you do it to me all the time, Lucy.
[00:31:01] [SPEAKER_03]: So I love it.
[00:31:03] [SPEAKER_05]: I do.
[00:31:04] [SPEAKER_05]: I kick that football out and laugh to myself
[00:31:06] [SPEAKER_05]: and I'm like, so nice to be mean.
[00:31:10] [SPEAKER_03]: Because we're friends.
[00:31:11] [SPEAKER_05]: Because we're friends, but I do like some of my friends
[00:31:14] [SPEAKER_05]: and it's in Scotland and I think Britain generally,
[00:31:19] [SPEAKER_05]: there's a lot of kind of swearing and insult humor and stuff.
[00:31:22] [SPEAKER_05]: But sometimes I hear the way my friends and I talk to each other
[00:31:24] [SPEAKER_05]: and I'm like, you know, if someone walks into this room,
[00:31:26] [SPEAKER_05]: they'd be like, Jesus Christ, you actually like this person?
[00:31:29] [SPEAKER_05]: And I'm like, yeah, I love them.
[00:31:30] [SPEAKER_05]: They're like one of my best friends,
[00:31:31] [SPEAKER_05]: but I'm being completely horrible to them right now.
[00:31:34] [SPEAKER_05]: But the thing I also saw with Laurent as well is like,
[00:31:39] [SPEAKER_05]: when you're...
[00:31:39] [SPEAKER_05]: So Laurent's obviously a really extreme situation
[00:31:42] [SPEAKER_05]: because he's been raised entirely by adults
[00:31:44] [SPEAKER_05]: and has like never been around other children.
[00:31:45] [SPEAKER_05]: But like even as someone who grew up an only child,
[00:31:50] [SPEAKER_05]: you are slightly less well equipped to deal with other kids
[00:31:54] [SPEAKER_05]: because you're just like at home.
[00:31:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, he walks up and he's like,
[00:31:59] [SPEAKER_03]: hi, I walk backwards for three months
[00:32:02] [SPEAKER_03]: even upstairs.
[00:32:03] [SPEAKER_03]: What's your name?
[00:32:04] [SPEAKER_03]: And they're like, dude.
[00:32:05] [SPEAKER_05]: Don't open with that man.
[00:32:07] [SPEAKER_05]: Those kids are going to hit you.
[00:32:09] [SPEAKER_05]: I warmed to Laurent this episode,
[00:32:11] [SPEAKER_05]: but in a way that I was like, oh no,
[00:32:13] [SPEAKER_05]: oh no, no, no, that's the kind of shit I would have done.
[00:32:16] [SPEAKER_05]: I would have thought that really cool and it actually isn't.
[00:32:18] [SPEAKER_05]: But I think him being at that convent,
[00:32:21] [SPEAKER_05]: not convent, that preschool
[00:32:22] [SPEAKER_05]: has been really good for him.
[00:32:25] [SPEAKER_05]: And I think him coming out of that bubble
[00:32:29] [SPEAKER_05]: and realizing...
[00:32:30] [SPEAKER_05]: I think finding the mule and realizing
[00:32:32] [SPEAKER_05]: that he has been lied to
[00:32:33] [SPEAKER_05]: and he has been coddled is really important.
[00:32:36] [SPEAKER_05]: And you see him start to verbalize that towards the end
[00:32:41] [SPEAKER_05]: where he's like, I don't want it to be special.
[00:32:43] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't want to get in the car.
[00:32:45] [SPEAKER_05]: She treats me like a baby.
[00:32:46] [SPEAKER_05]: And for whatever reason, she's not told him.
[00:32:49] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't think that she's his aunt.
[00:32:52] [SPEAKER_03]: No, I don't know.
[00:32:54] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't understand why.
[00:32:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Why not?
[00:32:55] [SPEAKER_05]: I think that's a weird thing not to disclose.
[00:32:58] [SPEAKER_05]: So I'm interested to see if that's about her.
[00:33:01] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, the whole thing, because that's...
[00:33:03] [SPEAKER_05]: I mean, that happens in families
[00:33:04] [SPEAKER_05]: that someone has raised as like the child
[00:33:07] [SPEAKER_05]: or the grandchild when actually you find out
[00:33:10] [SPEAKER_05]: your mom is actually...
[00:33:11] [SPEAKER_05]: You know what I mean?
[00:33:11] [SPEAKER_05]: You're raised by older parents.
[00:33:13] [SPEAKER_05]: And then you're like...
[00:33:14] [SPEAKER_05]: The person you thought was your sibling
[00:33:15] [SPEAKER_05]: is actually your parent.
[00:33:16] [SPEAKER_05]: Like, that does happen.
[00:33:18] [SPEAKER_05]: It fucks you up.
[00:33:19] [SPEAKER_05]: It happens to Ted Monday.
[00:33:20] [SPEAKER_05]: This is where this could go.
[00:33:22] [SPEAKER_03]: And look where...
[00:33:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, Laurent's next.
[00:33:24] [SPEAKER_03]: He's gonna start eating people.
[00:33:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, though, I love the way you put that
[00:33:29] [SPEAKER_03]: because I was just thinking...
[00:33:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he's starting...
[00:33:32] [SPEAKER_03]: I think Laurent's starting to realize
[00:33:34] [SPEAKER_03]: that he's been lied to,
[00:33:36] [SPEAKER_03]: but I didn't put two and two together
[00:33:38] [SPEAKER_03]: that it's kind of being around these kids
[00:33:41] [SPEAKER_03]: that woke him up to that.
[00:33:42] [SPEAKER_03]: They kind of brought him down to reality.
[00:33:45] [SPEAKER_03]: And yeah, he's been coddled before.
[00:33:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I really like that.
[00:33:48] [SPEAKER_03]: So it really was good for him.
[00:33:49] [SPEAKER_03]: And now, I mean, he knows that he's been lied to
[00:33:52] [SPEAKER_03]: about the mule and that just made...
[00:33:54] [SPEAKER_03]: And then that with the kids teasing him
[00:33:57] [SPEAKER_03]: about his story that sounds fake,
[00:33:58] [SPEAKER_03]: he's like, yeah, they lied to me about this.
[00:34:01] [SPEAKER_03]: They're lying to me about everything.
[00:34:02] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, we're the freaking mule mum.
[00:34:04] [SPEAKER_05]: And then he runs out and he's like,
[00:34:06] [SPEAKER_05]: oh man, there was something about him finding the mule.
[00:34:11] [SPEAKER_05]: It reminded me of Carl a little bit
[00:34:13] [SPEAKER_05]: when he sees the deer in season two
[00:34:16] [SPEAKER_05]: and then gets shot in the stomach.
[00:34:19] [SPEAKER_05]: Just this idea of kids in the walking dead
[00:34:20] [SPEAKER_05]: going out into nature
[00:34:22] [SPEAKER_05]: and sort of losing their innocence
[00:34:23] [SPEAKER_05]: or getting like, you know, look at the flowers
[00:34:25] [SPEAKER_05]: going out into the deer.
[00:34:27] [SPEAKER_05]: Seeing this horse getting...
[00:34:28] [SPEAKER_05]: Sophia runs off into the wilderness
[00:34:31] [SPEAKER_05]: and never comes back.
[00:34:32] [SPEAKER_05]: And I thought of Sophia as well with Darrell,
[00:34:36] [SPEAKER_05]: not Darrell, Lou shooting the kid
[00:34:38] [SPEAKER_05]: who was in the moat, the child zombie
[00:34:41] [SPEAKER_05]: because that felt like the moment Darrell stepped up
[00:34:44] [SPEAKER_05]: in season two was when he or Rick rather
[00:34:47] [SPEAKER_05]: shot Sophia when nobody else would.
[00:34:49] [SPEAKER_05]: And I was like, oh, this is kind of like a leadership thing
[00:34:51] [SPEAKER_05]: of like doing the heart thing.
[00:34:52] [SPEAKER_03]: And then Lou, she also killed the teacher.
[00:34:57] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[00:34:57] [SPEAKER_03]: And that was her also asserting her leadership
[00:35:00] [SPEAKER_03]: which it must have been really hard, you know.
[00:35:03] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, so difficult.
[00:35:05] [SPEAKER_05]: But I did, I felt for Ramon,
[00:35:07] [SPEAKER_05]: Ramon Laurent this season, he, you know,
[00:35:10] [SPEAKER_05]: he points out he's playing hide and seek
[00:35:12] [SPEAKER_05]: and he's like, how did you find me?
[00:35:14] [SPEAKER_05]: And the girl's like, that wasn't a good hiding place.
[00:35:16] [SPEAKER_05]: And you realize the nuns always let him win.
[00:35:19] [SPEAKER_05]: So he's never not won something
[00:35:21] [SPEAKER_05]: because the nuns have always been like, oh, Laurent
[00:35:23] [SPEAKER_05]: you were so well hidden, I didn't see you.
[00:35:26] [SPEAKER_05]: He's been fed crappy stories about his dad that aren't true.
[00:35:31] [SPEAKER_05]: He is so like you say, so smart in some ways
[00:35:34] [SPEAKER_05]: and then in other ways like social expertise
[00:35:38] [SPEAKER_05]: and being able to read people he's actually really not.
[00:35:41] [SPEAKER_05]: And it's interesting because these kids
[00:35:44] [SPEAKER_05]: are surprisingly well developed and quite hardened
[00:35:47] [SPEAKER_05]: and still quite educated.
[00:35:50] [SPEAKER_05]: But it's, but then you see in the final scenes
[00:35:53] [SPEAKER_05]: when Hedgehog comes back and Darryl says, you know,
[00:35:56] [SPEAKER_05]: I allow you to get a horse and you see Laurent.
[00:35:58] [SPEAKER_05]: I've written Laurent is playing depression,
[00:36:01] [SPEAKER_05]: pinata because he's just kind of hitting something
[00:36:03] [SPEAKER_05]: with the stick what it's spelled looks like the window.
[00:36:05] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm like, oh no, he's depressed.
[00:36:09] [SPEAKER_05]: He comforts one of the children
[00:36:10] [SPEAKER_05]: and says my teacher is also with the angels.
[00:36:12] [SPEAKER_05]: So he's sort of learning to empathize a bit more
[00:36:15] [SPEAKER_05]: and meet them on their level.
[00:36:17] [SPEAKER_05]: And he's the one who says Nanu Nanu
[00:36:19] [SPEAKER_05]: to kind of lighten the mood.
[00:36:21] [SPEAKER_05]: So yeah, Laurent is growing on me a little bit.
[00:36:25] [SPEAKER_05]: I'd like that he's a wonder kid with layers
[00:36:27] [SPEAKER_05]: and not unlike Ellie in the last of us,
[00:36:30] [SPEAKER_05]: like they're there.
[00:36:32] [SPEAKER_05]: There's more to them than just being a MacGuffin
[00:36:34] [SPEAKER_05]: and Laurent, I think the anger that he's feeling
[00:36:38] [SPEAKER_05]: in the frustration is going to be more interesting
[00:36:40] [SPEAKER_05]: to watch than just.
[00:36:43] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm smart and cute.
[00:36:44] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I am smart and cute.
[00:36:46] [SPEAKER_05]: This special one.
[00:36:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he kind of got his bell wrong.
[00:36:49] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I know.
[00:36:50] [SPEAKER_05]: I was like, he did get movie night though.
[00:36:52] [SPEAKER_05]: So that was good.
[00:36:55] [SPEAKER_05]: I did.
[00:36:55] [SPEAKER_05]: So I looked up Saint Laurent
[00:36:57] [SPEAKER_05]: because that's where Isabel ends up holding him
[00:37:00] [SPEAKER_05]: and names him after.
[00:37:01] [SPEAKER_05]: And I've written what's his paddle waffle
[00:37:03] [SPEAKER_05]: because I didn't know what it was he was holding.
[00:37:05] [SPEAKER_05]: And as with all like Saint stories
[00:37:07] [SPEAKER_05]: it's actually much bleaker than I thought it was.
[00:37:09] [SPEAKER_05]: So he's usually holding a gridiron,
[00:37:11] [SPEAKER_05]: which is the kind of waffle thing.
[00:37:13] [SPEAKER_05]: And that is what he was killed on.
[00:37:16] [SPEAKER_05]: He was burned alive.
[00:37:17] [SPEAKER_05]: So if we see Laurent going near fire or barbecues
[00:37:22] [SPEAKER_05]: I would be worried because that seems to be house
[00:37:25] [SPEAKER_05]: and Laurent's died, which was being roasted to death.
[00:37:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:37:30] [SPEAKER_05]: So that's nice.
[00:37:31] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, you got to watch out for that.
[00:37:33] [SPEAKER_05]: Stay away from terminus.
[00:37:34] [SPEAKER_03]: That would be too on the nose, you guys.
[00:37:36] [SPEAKER_05]: It would a little bit.
[00:37:37] [SPEAKER_05]: It would.
[00:37:38] [SPEAKER_03]: It would be fine.
[00:37:39] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm okay with that.
[00:37:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Whatever.
[00:37:40] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[00:37:43] [SPEAKER_03]: That was great.
[00:37:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[00:37:45] [SPEAKER_03]: So I want to talk about Lily and Laurent's origin.
[00:37:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:37:50] [SPEAKER_03]: So Isabelle asks to go pick up her sister
[00:37:53] [SPEAKER_03]: and her drug dealer or boyfriend or whoever that is.
[00:37:57] [SPEAKER_03]: And I love just seeing the driving around the streets of Paris
[00:38:01] [SPEAKER_03]: just frantically, but it's not so fucked up
[00:38:04] [SPEAKER_03]: that they can't get through yet.
[00:38:06] [SPEAKER_03]: And then and then the gas station it's all backed up
[00:38:09] [SPEAKER_03]: and you can kind of hear people yelling at each other
[00:38:11] [SPEAKER_03]: in the background and Lily throws up on the guy.
[00:38:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:38:15] [SPEAKER_03]: It's funny and tells Isabelle she's pregnant
[00:38:17] [SPEAKER_03]: and then he's like, we can't take her with us.
[00:38:21] [SPEAKER_03]: We're going somewhere secluded.
[00:38:22] [SPEAKER_03]: There's no hospitals and I didn't like the guy after that.
[00:38:26] [SPEAKER_05]: No, awful.
[00:38:28] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[00:38:28] [SPEAKER_05]: Also, if you think that he might be the father
[00:38:30] [SPEAKER_05]: of that takes a different.
[00:38:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, right.
[00:38:33] [SPEAKER_05]: Thing doesn't like, because the first time I was like,
[00:38:34] [SPEAKER_05]: oh, I mean that's incredibly selfish.
[00:38:37] [SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[00:38:37] [SPEAKER_05]: And then I was like, oh, if he's the dad though,
[00:38:40] [SPEAKER_05]: that's him like need her out the way so that you don't
[00:38:42] [SPEAKER_05]: find out what happened.
[00:38:43] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[00:38:44] [SPEAKER_05]: And awful person.
[00:38:46] [SPEAKER_03]: I actually, I'm just thinking of this now,
[00:38:48] [SPEAKER_03]: but we don't have to think of this in the context of
[00:38:50] [SPEAKER_03]: they don't really know what's happening.
[00:38:52] [SPEAKER_03]: And it reminds me of being in Hawaii during these
[00:38:55] [SPEAKER_03]: fires recently where my head just wouldn't let me
[00:38:58] [SPEAKER_03]: believe that it was that serious.
[00:39:00] [SPEAKER_03]: I just kept thinking the Wi-Fi was out and I hope
[00:39:03] [SPEAKER_03]: they hurry up and get it back on until I started
[00:39:05] [SPEAKER_03]: hearing what was really going on.
[00:39:07] [SPEAKER_03]: You know, I just didn't want to believe it.
[00:39:09] [SPEAKER_03]: So if he just thinks this is a temporary thing,
[00:39:12] [SPEAKER_03]: then maybe it does make sense to go to a clinic
[00:39:14] [SPEAKER_03]: and not go to some secluded place.
[00:39:16] [SPEAKER_03]: You know, he doesn't know it's the zombie apocalypse.
[00:39:19] [SPEAKER_05]: I think he says we'll be back in Paris in a few days,
[00:39:21] [SPEAKER_05]: which is like...
[00:39:24] [SPEAKER_03]: So on that, so I'm sort of rethinking that,
[00:39:26] [SPEAKER_03]: but still anyway, if it, but if it's his kid,
[00:39:29] [SPEAKER_03]: then yes, douchebag.
[00:39:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[00:39:32] [SPEAKER_03]: So anyway, she pickpockets him,
[00:39:35] [SPEAKER_03]: which then I did like the pickpocketing because
[00:39:37] [SPEAKER_03]: it came back in a fun way because it looked like
[00:39:39] [SPEAKER_03]: she was going to give in to him and then
[00:39:41] [SPEAKER_03]: we were going to think that maybe she felt guilty
[00:39:43] [SPEAKER_03]: about leaving her sister or something, but
[00:39:44] [SPEAKER_03]: she pickpocketed him.
[00:39:46] [SPEAKER_03]: And then they stopped for this ambulance or something.
[00:39:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Like did they, why did they stop?
[00:39:51] [SPEAKER_05]: They stopped because there was an ambulance
[00:39:53] [SPEAKER_05]: at the side of the road and they thought,
[00:39:54] [SPEAKER_05]: oh, there's paramedics there.
[00:39:55] [SPEAKER_05]: They could give us advice here.
[00:39:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I see. Got it.
[00:39:58] [SPEAKER_05]: But whatever scene had transpired had
[00:40:02] [SPEAKER_05]: happened and people had been bitten
[00:40:04] [SPEAKER_05]: as far as I could tell.
[00:40:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I mean probably the ambulance went
[00:40:09] [SPEAKER_03]: and picked up somebody and then that somebody ate them.
[00:40:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:40:14] [SPEAKER_03]: So then we can only laugh about that on this podcast.
[00:40:19] [SPEAKER_03]: And then so we find out later that
[00:40:23] [SPEAKER_03]: I think that's when Lily got bitten, right?
[00:40:25] [SPEAKER_03]: In the scuffle with those zombies that came out of that ambulance.
[00:40:28] [SPEAKER_05]: Which is surprising because her jacket looked quite hefty.
[00:40:30] [SPEAKER_05]: That did surprise me when she was,
[00:40:32] [SPEAKER_05]: she showed that she'd been bitten.
[00:40:34] [SPEAKER_05]: I was like, oh crap. Okay.
[00:40:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:40:36] [SPEAKER_03]: That happens a lot in these shows.
[00:40:38] [SPEAKER_03]: There's this big old bite underneath her clothes.
[00:40:41] [SPEAKER_03]: And then we see Isabel finding the abbey.
[00:40:44] [SPEAKER_03]: And so like, oh, that's how she got there.
[00:40:45] [SPEAKER_03]: And Perjan is there fully alive and everything.
[00:40:49] [SPEAKER_03]: And then we see Lily has this big bite.
[00:40:52] [SPEAKER_03]: But it's that thing I was talking about earlier
[00:40:55] [SPEAKER_03]: where the characters see that differently
[00:40:58] [SPEAKER_03]: because they don't know what's going on.
[00:40:59] [SPEAKER_03]: So they're just like, oh, that's a bad bite.
[00:41:02] [SPEAKER_03]: And I'm like, you should probably kill her right now.
[00:41:06] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I know.
[00:41:07] [SPEAKER_05]: How cool was it to see Perjan exercising her?
[00:41:13] [SPEAKER_05]: Like he's fully, fully on exercising.
[00:41:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's very much.
[00:41:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Because that's when...
[00:41:17] [SPEAKER_05]: How did they realize, you know?
[00:41:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, let me get to that.
[00:41:21] [SPEAKER_03]: So Lily says she's seven months pregnant
[00:41:24] [SPEAKER_03]: and Isabel asks who the father is.
[00:41:26] [SPEAKER_03]: But I think she's either in labor
[00:41:28] [SPEAKER_03]: or just having pains from being bit by a zombie
[00:41:31] [SPEAKER_03]: and she's just, girl, that's how to grown.
[00:41:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Doesn't say who the father is.
[00:41:35] [SPEAKER_03]: So maybe that's the thing that we'll learn later.
[00:41:37] [SPEAKER_03]: And then that's when Isabel starts singing
[00:41:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Aloe Weta to calm her down,
[00:41:43] [SPEAKER_03]: which is sort of grim.
[00:41:46] [SPEAKER_03]: And then Lily asks Isabel to look after the baby.
[00:41:50] [SPEAKER_03]: I slipped there, Fordy and slip, Ellie.
[00:41:52] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:41:54] [SPEAKER_03]: And maybe that contributed to Isabel deciding
[00:41:57] [SPEAKER_03]: to stay at the Abbey and being none
[00:41:59] [SPEAKER_03]: just because she knew she had to stay there
[00:42:01] [SPEAKER_03]: and look after the kid.
[00:42:03] [SPEAKER_03]: And then Lily's giving birth
[00:42:04] [SPEAKER_03]: and it's of course this dramatic birth scene
[00:42:06] [SPEAKER_03]: and then she just keels over and dies.
[00:42:09] [SPEAKER_03]: And Elizabeth, oh no, but then Elizabeth's still by her side
[00:42:12] [SPEAKER_03]: and is excited that she's moving.
[00:42:14] [SPEAKER_03]: And that's another thing.
[00:42:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Like she's happy, but we're like,
[00:42:17] [SPEAKER_03]: you better take a couple steps back.
[00:42:19] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, you gotta move.
[00:42:20] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and the first one that she witnesses
[00:42:23] [SPEAKER_03]: is reanimated as her sister.
[00:42:25] [SPEAKER_03]: And so it's pretty intense.
[00:42:28] [SPEAKER_03]: And yeah, totally reminding me of Amy.
[00:42:30] [SPEAKER_03]: And now we know that Laurent was born from a zombie.
[00:42:35] [SPEAKER_03]: And we will do, I think we should do a quick
[00:42:38] [SPEAKER_03]: spoilery segment at the very end of this podcast
[00:42:41] [SPEAKER_03]: to talk about how this is similar to another show.
[00:42:44] [SPEAKER_03]: But I don't think we should talk about it too much
[00:42:46] [SPEAKER_03]: right now in case people haven't seen that show.
[00:42:49] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I think that's fair.
[00:42:51] [SPEAKER_03]: So it'll just be really quick though.
[00:42:52] [SPEAKER_03]: But the question that came up for me is if Laurent's mother
[00:42:56] [SPEAKER_03]: was bitten while he was still in the womb,
[00:42:58] [SPEAKER_03]: wouldn't he be infected?
[00:43:00] [SPEAKER_03]: But then I remember the way it works in the walking dead
[00:43:03] [SPEAKER_03]: is everyone is infected and they all turn after they die.
[00:43:05] [SPEAKER_03]: So the bite doesn't actually infect you.
[00:43:08] [SPEAKER_03]: It just makes you sick and kills you and then you turn.
[00:43:11] [SPEAKER_03]: So then the question is whatever a bite does to people
[00:43:13] [SPEAKER_03]: would that also impact a baby in the womb?
[00:43:16] [SPEAKER_03]: And just based on this, because this is the first time
[00:43:18] [SPEAKER_03]: we've seen anything like this in the walking dead,
[00:43:19] [SPEAKER_03]: the answer to that seems to be either no, it doesn't
[00:43:21] [SPEAKER_03]: or Laurent is actually some miracle kid, you know.
[00:43:25] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[00:43:26] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[00:43:27] [SPEAKER_05]: I guess you would need to kill him to find out.
[00:43:30] [SPEAKER_05]: It's terrible.
[00:43:31] [SPEAKER_05]: You need to kill him to know like Laurent.
[00:43:33] [SPEAKER_05]: Going to just hold your breath for a really long time
[00:43:35] [SPEAKER_05]: so we can just figure this out.
[00:43:37] [SPEAKER_03]: Make sure not to get him in the brain
[00:43:38] [SPEAKER_03]: and then we'll see what happens.
[00:43:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Can't do that.
[00:43:41] [SPEAKER_05]: It's the first time we've seen someone bitten
[00:43:45] [SPEAKER_05]: giving birth in walking dead.
[00:43:49] [SPEAKER_05]: Everyone else has been like Lori died from childbirth
[00:43:54] [SPEAKER_05]: essentially.
[00:43:54] [SPEAKER_05]: She always knew that was a risk because Carl had me in a C-section
[00:43:57] [SPEAKER_05]: and she was going to need another one.
[00:43:59] [SPEAKER_05]: So she wasn't actually bitten.
[00:44:01] [SPEAKER_05]: She just had to die.
[00:44:02] [SPEAKER_03]: And then Judith was born and then Judith shot her
[00:44:04] [SPEAKER_03]: in the head, right?
[00:44:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Is that what happened?
[00:44:06] [SPEAKER_05]: She came out with a gun in her hand
[00:44:07] [SPEAKER_05]: and just shot her in the face.
[00:44:09] [SPEAKER_05]: It was brutal but also very moving.
[00:44:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Very, I cry.
[00:44:13] [SPEAKER_05]: I cry.
[00:44:14] [SPEAKER_05]: I cried for days.
[00:44:16] [SPEAKER_03]: And yeah, I'm sure there must have been other birth scenes
[00:44:19] [SPEAKER_03]: that I'm not remembering
[00:44:20] [SPEAKER_03]: but none where the person was infected
[00:44:23] [SPEAKER_03]: as far as I can remember.
[00:44:25] [SPEAKER_05]: No, I don't think so.
[00:44:27] [SPEAKER_05]: Also, I mean, one thing I will say is
[00:44:29] [SPEAKER_05]: Lily didn't look seven months pregnant.
[00:44:31] [SPEAKER_05]: Like that really surprised me.
[00:44:32] [SPEAKER_05]: I thought we were going to see her like in the convent
[00:44:34] [SPEAKER_05]: giving birth and like dying in childbirth
[00:44:36] [SPEAKER_05]: but fair play.
[00:44:38] [SPEAKER_05]: Maybe she just hit it really well.
[00:44:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:44:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:44:41] [SPEAKER_03]: And so that's when I think,
[00:44:44] [SPEAKER_03]: so she's, they've tied her down
[00:44:46] [SPEAKER_03]: and she's thrashing about
[00:44:48] [SPEAKER_03]: and they got the baby out
[00:44:50] [SPEAKER_03]: and Isabelle I think is taking the baby out
[00:44:54] [SPEAKER_03]: and that's when the sister,
[00:44:55] [SPEAKER_03]: the bed, the priest is holding up his cross
[00:44:58] [SPEAKER_03]: and presumably in French saying
[00:45:01] [SPEAKER_03]: religious phrases, biblical phrases.
[00:45:03] [SPEAKER_05]: Obesity image when they turn around
[00:45:06] [SPEAKER_05]: and she's like,
[00:45:08] [SPEAKER_05]: I just like, I don't know.
[00:45:09] [SPEAKER_05]: I think they cleaned it up a bit.
[00:45:11] [SPEAKER_05]: I imagine there would have been a lot more blood
[00:45:12] [SPEAKER_05]: and that her guts would essentially have been like
[00:45:14] [SPEAKER_05]: out on the bed but that image
[00:45:17] [SPEAKER_05]: and when I'm glad they're so cool
[00:45:18] [SPEAKER_05]: when they were holding Laurent
[00:45:20] [SPEAKER_05]: and he was crying and her
[00:45:24] [SPEAKER_05]: zombie noises kind of matched
[00:45:25] [SPEAKER_05]: in pitch, the crying and the growling.
[00:45:28] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, that was brilliant.
[00:45:29] [SPEAKER_05]: I really liked that.
[00:45:31] [SPEAKER_03]: I didn't get that.
[00:45:32] [SPEAKER_03]: I gotta go back again.
[00:45:33] [SPEAKER_05]: It's just hers were quite high for a zombie
[00:45:36] [SPEAKER_05]: and they just, they kind of crossed over
[00:45:38] [SPEAKER_05]: and I was like, oh that's excellent.
[00:45:39] [SPEAKER_05]: Really enjoy.
[00:45:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh my God.
[00:45:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I feel, I'm starting to feel guilty
[00:45:43] [SPEAKER_03]: for laughing at this stuff.
[00:45:45] [SPEAKER_03]: It's pretty gruesome.
[00:45:46] [SPEAKER_05]: I know some of it is,
[00:45:47] [SPEAKER_05]: I mean if you don't laugh you'll cry, you know?
[00:45:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:45:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Just like.
[00:45:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[00:45:53] [SPEAKER_03]: But it was a great, I mean,
[00:45:55] [SPEAKER_03]: sequence as gruesome as it was.
[00:45:58] [SPEAKER_03]: It was pretty crazy.
[00:46:01] [SPEAKER_03]: It does make me wonder why
[00:46:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Isabelle doesn't tell Laurent
[00:46:04] [SPEAKER_03]: at least just that he's,
[00:46:06] [SPEAKER_03]: she's his aunt.
[00:46:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Why keep that a secret?
[00:46:09] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.
[00:46:10] [SPEAKER_05]: It's strange that it's very kind of
[00:46:14] [SPEAKER_05]: children's lit special orphan stuff
[00:46:16] [SPEAKER_05]: like I don't know your Harry Potter
[00:46:19] [SPEAKER_05]: and your Charlie, no Charlie Bucket
[00:46:20] [SPEAKER_05]: wasn't an orphan, he had his family
[00:46:21] [SPEAKER_05]: but it's very that kind of like.
[00:46:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Luke Skywalker even.
[00:46:24] [SPEAKER_05]: Yes, Luke Skywalker that kind of,
[00:46:26] [SPEAKER_05]: I think Frodo Baggins is an orphan
[00:46:27] [SPEAKER_05]: maybe as well.
[00:46:28] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, there's a look,
[00:46:29] [SPEAKER_05]: it's kind of a trope
[00:46:31] [SPEAKER_05]: but it feels weird when she's right there
[00:46:33] [SPEAKER_05]: and yeah, really strange.
[00:46:35] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I can understand not wanting to tell her
[00:46:37] [SPEAKER_03]: about his mother
[00:46:40] [SPEAKER_03]: that you were born from a zombie
[00:46:41] [SPEAKER_03]: but why not just say I'm your aunt
[00:46:43] [SPEAKER_03]: and your mother died
[00:46:45] [SPEAKER_03]: and your father went into the French
[00:46:47] [SPEAKER_03]: foreign legion or whatever.
[00:46:48] [SPEAKER_03]: Your father was asterisk.
[00:46:50] [SPEAKER_05]: The Viking next question.
[00:46:52] [SPEAKER_03]: All right, what's next?
[00:46:55] [SPEAKER_05]: I guess some random
[00:46:58] [SPEAKER_05]: thoughts about the child
[00:47:00] [SPEAKER_05]: colony.
[00:47:02] [SPEAKER_05]: I did wonder if Darryl would be having
[00:47:04] [SPEAKER_05]: like major PTSD about creepy children
[00:47:08] [SPEAKER_05]: torturing him.
[00:47:09] [SPEAKER_05]: Like I was like, we remarkably chill
[00:47:11] [SPEAKER_02]: about walking into this.
[00:47:12] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, he's like, oh, this is nice.
[00:47:14] [SPEAKER_05]: They seem nice.
[00:47:16] [SPEAKER_05]: I thought it was sweet that
[00:47:17] [SPEAKER_05]: Darryl is asking us about like,
[00:47:19] [SPEAKER_05]: what does that say when they get there?
[00:47:21] [SPEAKER_05]: Trying to figure out what kind of
[00:47:22] [SPEAKER_05]: building is that they're going into.
[00:47:24] [SPEAKER_05]: The kids reminded me the most
[00:47:26] [SPEAKER_05]: of the Lost Boys in Hook,
[00:47:28] [SPEAKER_05]: the Robin Williams film from the early 90s
[00:47:30] [SPEAKER_05]: which is ironic because
[00:47:33] [SPEAKER_05]: you know, they watch Mork & Mindy later
[00:47:35] [SPEAKER_05]: but the kind of woofing and howling
[00:47:37] [SPEAKER_05]: was very, I don't know,
[00:47:39] [SPEAKER_05]: I quite liked it.
[00:47:41] [SPEAKER_05]: I also learned that the French word for
[00:47:43] [SPEAKER_05]: none or one of the French words for none
[00:47:45] [SPEAKER_05]: is literally like good sister
[00:47:47] [SPEAKER_05]: Bonsoir, which I was like, oh,
[00:47:48] [SPEAKER_05]: you learn anything every day.
[00:47:51] [SPEAKER_05]: I thought the actress who played,
[00:47:53] [SPEAKER_05]: the actor who played Lou was really cool.
[00:47:55] [SPEAKER_05]: I thought she actually carried scenes
[00:47:56] [SPEAKER_05]: very well.
[00:47:57] [SPEAKER_05]: I think whoever
[00:47:59] [SPEAKER_05]: writes this show
[00:48:01] [SPEAKER_05]: either really hates Americans
[00:48:03] [SPEAKER_05]: or is a very self-conscious American
[00:48:05] [SPEAKER_05]: because I did like the exchange where they're like,
[00:48:07] [SPEAKER_05]: after all this time he has not learned English.
[00:48:09] [SPEAKER_05]: No, he has not learned French and they're like,
[00:48:10] [SPEAKER_05]: oh, Americans.
[00:48:11] [SPEAKER_05]: And I'm like, oh.
[00:48:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, there's a slight anti-American sentiment
[00:48:17] [SPEAKER_03]: but
[00:48:18] [SPEAKER_03]: that is an accurate
[00:48:21] [SPEAKER_03]: in general.
[00:48:22] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason
[00:48:24] [SPEAKER_03]: and it's kind of funny and there is that
[00:48:26] [SPEAKER_03]: sentiment sometimes in Europe and I
[00:48:28] [SPEAKER_03]: didn't take offense to it. I thought it was
[00:48:30] [SPEAKER_03]: really funny and cute.
[00:48:32] [SPEAKER_03]: I did however take offense a little bit,
[00:48:34] [SPEAKER_03]: not quite but that guy
[00:48:36] [SPEAKER_03]: that Texas guy was just like a caricature
[00:48:39] [SPEAKER_03]: to the max.
[00:48:41] [SPEAKER_05]: What the fuck was that about?
[00:48:42] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm like also that actor,
[00:48:44] [SPEAKER_05]: Irish.
[00:48:46] [SPEAKER_05]: I thought his accent was a bit dodged
[00:48:48] [SPEAKER_05]: and I was like, oh.
[00:48:49] [SPEAKER_03]: That kind of makes sense because then you get someone who's not actually an American
[00:48:52] [SPEAKER_03]: and go, oh I can do American.
[00:48:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Just me.
[00:48:54] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, he was doing like I would say 80% acceptable
[00:48:58] [SPEAKER_05]: but then occasionally it went really off course
[00:49:00] [SPEAKER_05]: so I looked him up because he looked familiar.
[00:49:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Well when the zombies start swarming on him
[00:49:03] [SPEAKER_03]: and he goes, I'm an American.
[00:49:05] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm like, really? Come on.
[00:49:06] [SPEAKER_03]: I've been for 12 years too.
[00:49:09] [SPEAKER_03]: You think he would have sort of
[00:49:10] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean he's at 12 years later
[00:49:13] [SPEAKER_03]: he's still thinking that America is fine
[00:49:15] [SPEAKER_03]: and his wife and kids are there
[00:49:16] [SPEAKER_03]: and no one's come to help or anything?
[00:49:18] [SPEAKER_03]: It didn't make any sense.
[00:49:19] [SPEAKER_05]: Does that really confuse me?
[00:49:20] [SPEAKER_05]: If it'd been like two years in, I'd have been like okay.
[00:49:23] [SPEAKER_05]: Maybe but 12 years in
[00:49:25] [SPEAKER_05]: and you think he would have been a bit more
[00:49:29] [SPEAKER_05]: unhinged
[00:49:29] [SPEAKER_05]: than he was? I mean the American stuff was weird
[00:49:32] [SPEAKER_05]: but like you saw what happened to Morgan
[00:49:34] [SPEAKER_05]: after like, I don't know
[00:49:36] [SPEAKER_05]: a year on his own in King County
[00:49:38] [SPEAKER_05]: yeah I mean you know what it is.
[00:49:42] [SPEAKER_05]: Said that the other day in the car
[00:49:44] [SPEAKER_05]: and Peter was like did we ever find out what it was
[00:49:46] [SPEAKER_05]: and I'm like, no really. We don't know what it is.
[00:49:49] [SPEAKER_05]: You know what it is.
[00:49:51] [SPEAKER_05]: Other stuff about the kids
[00:49:52] [SPEAKER_05]: I liked that they were
[00:49:54] [SPEAKER_05]: very polite and well
[00:49:56] [SPEAKER_05]: meaning children who seem to have good
[00:49:58] [SPEAKER_05]: chore charts
[00:50:00] [SPEAKER_05]: and discipline.
[00:50:02] [SPEAKER_05]: The scenery in the dinner table was nice
[00:50:04] [SPEAKER_05]: I think Darryl pitched
[00:50:06] [SPEAKER_05]: what he said really well for kids
[00:50:08] [SPEAKER_05]: and I liked his kind of slurping his soup
[00:50:11] [SPEAKER_05]: to kind of
[00:50:12] [SPEAKER_05]: make them laugh.
[00:50:14] [SPEAKER_05]: The Morgan Mindy stuff was very cute.
[00:50:16] [SPEAKER_05]: I quite like that.
[00:50:17] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't know why they would have a video of
[00:50:18] [SPEAKER_05]: Morgan Mindy but you know fair enough
[00:50:20] [SPEAKER_05]: I've written clearly not big in France
[00:50:22] [SPEAKER_05]: but it is in this school.
[00:50:24] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean they use it to practice their English
[00:50:26] [SPEAKER_03]: so maybe they did that before too.
[00:50:29] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah exactly
[00:50:31] [SPEAKER_05]: and yeah
[00:50:32] [SPEAKER_05]: I just thought I think that's about it.
[00:50:34] [SPEAKER_05]: I liked that they came in and swooped in
[00:50:36] [SPEAKER_05]: and kind of saved Darryl at the end
[00:50:38] [SPEAKER_05]: because I think he deserved that
[00:50:41] [SPEAKER_05]: those moments of
[00:50:42] [SPEAKER_05]: peril for like you say
[00:50:43] [SPEAKER_05]: being a bit reckless
[00:50:46] [SPEAKER_05]: with Lou and the children
[00:50:47] [SPEAKER_05]: and not necessarily doing right by them.
[00:50:50] [SPEAKER_05]: Hedgehog seemed cool
[00:50:51] [SPEAKER_05]: I mean their English was all amazing
[00:50:54] [SPEAKER_05]: so maybe there's a bit of department
[00:50:55] [SPEAKER_05]: suspension of disbelief there
[00:50:58] [SPEAKER_05]: but generally
[00:50:59] [SPEAKER_05]: I thought of all the like I say
[00:51:01] [SPEAKER_05]: of all the feral children colonies we've seen
[00:51:03] [SPEAKER_05]: this one was the best one
[00:51:05] [SPEAKER_05]: and I would probably
[00:51:08] [SPEAKER_05]: go and visit if I was in France in the apocalypse
[00:51:10] [SPEAKER_05]: did they seem nice? The soup sounds good
[00:51:12] [SPEAKER_05]: and I think they're now going to be better stocked
[00:51:14] [SPEAKER_05]: because I assume they're going to pillage the castle
[00:51:16] [SPEAKER_05]: and take stuff from there
[00:51:18] [SPEAKER_03]: and Darryl brought a bunch of supplies
[00:51:20] [SPEAKER_03]: back too but you're right there's probably way more
[00:51:22] [SPEAKER_03]: back there that they can go get.
[00:51:24] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah well there's definitely four tins of sardines
[00:51:26] [SPEAKER_05]: because the guy starts yelling about them
[00:51:28] [SPEAKER_05]: for some reason in one of the scenes
[00:51:29] [SPEAKER_05]: so good luck to them.
[00:51:31] [SPEAKER_03]: I like sardines
[00:51:33] [SPEAKER_03]: but yeah hopefully it's not one of those situations
[00:51:36] [SPEAKER_03]: like when you disrupt
[00:51:40] [SPEAKER_03]: local sort of power
[00:51:41] [SPEAKER_03]: in the area that then
[00:51:43] [SPEAKER_03]: just destabilizes everything maybe the fact that
[00:51:46] [SPEAKER_03]: this guy was there hoarding all this stuff
[00:51:48] [SPEAKER_03]: and it kind of
[00:51:50] [SPEAKER_03]: kept things peaceful around there
[00:51:52] [SPEAKER_03]: because people knew that they didn't want to deal
[00:51:54] [SPEAKER_03]: with him or something but now he's gone
[00:51:55] [SPEAKER_03]: you know so you can come in and
[00:51:57] [SPEAKER_03]: wreak havoc.
[00:51:59] [SPEAKER_05]: I didn't catch the name for him
[00:52:01] [SPEAKER_05]: um
[00:52:02] [SPEAKER_05]: the name like the dragon
[00:52:06] [SPEAKER_03]: it's uh
[00:52:07] [SPEAKER_03]: La Tarrasque
[00:52:09] [SPEAKER_03]: which is a mythical creature
[00:52:11] [SPEAKER_03]: from French folklore that was said
[00:52:13] [SPEAKER_03]: to live near the town of Tarrascon
[00:52:15] [SPEAKER_03]: in Provence according to the legend
[00:52:18] [SPEAKER_03]: that Tarrasque had a lion like head
[00:52:20] [SPEAKER_03]: a turtle like shell
[00:52:21] [SPEAKER_03]: six bear like claws a serpents tail
[00:52:23] [SPEAKER_03]: and could breathe poison
[00:52:25] [SPEAKER_03]: and there was another thing where one of the kids said
[00:52:28] [SPEAKER_03]: let's go hunt the something
[00:52:30] [SPEAKER_03]: and said another creature
[00:52:32] [SPEAKER_03]: and um
[00:52:34] [SPEAKER_03]: that was also some kind of
[00:52:35] [SPEAKER_03]: well it sounds more like an urban legend but
[00:52:38] [SPEAKER_03]: um says let's hunt
[00:52:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Le Bet du Jeveau d'In
[00:52:42] [SPEAKER_03]: which is a beast that reportedly
[00:52:44] [SPEAKER_03]: terrorized people in the south central
[00:52:45] [SPEAKER_03]: France in 1700s
[00:52:48] [SPEAKER_03]: so I guess it's just showing that these
[00:52:50] [SPEAKER_03]: kids have big imaginations.
[00:52:52] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, they it seemed like
[00:52:53] [SPEAKER_05]: a surprisingly healthy environment for
[00:52:56] [SPEAKER_05]: children. I know.
[00:52:57] [SPEAKER_05]: The apocalypse. Madame Dubois did a great job.
[00:53:00] [SPEAKER_05]: Um and it was sad because it did seem like she
[00:53:02] [SPEAKER_05]: was just dying of old age as well
[00:53:04] [SPEAKER_05]: there was something quite tragic about that
[00:53:06] [SPEAKER_05]: that like they describe her as well as
[00:53:08] [SPEAKER_05]: she said something so sweet it's like she is
[00:53:11] [SPEAKER_05]: she is our parents
[00:53:12] [SPEAKER_05]: she is our parents under nurse like
[00:53:15] [SPEAKER_05]: she's everything to them and I was just like
[00:53:17] [SPEAKER_05]: oh that feeling when you're young of losing
[00:53:20] [SPEAKER_05]: that parental
[00:53:23] [SPEAKER_05]: guidance figure is so tried
[00:53:25] [SPEAKER_05]: it's so hard it's so difficult and I
[00:53:27] [SPEAKER_05]: just like I really felt for them at that
[00:53:28] [SPEAKER_05]: point trying to like turn back the clock
[00:53:30] [SPEAKER_05]: and make her okay. I guess having
[00:53:33] [SPEAKER_03]: her having been sick for six months
[00:53:35] [SPEAKER_03]: was
[00:53:37] [SPEAKER_03]: they probably landed on that for a couple
[00:53:39] [SPEAKER_03]: reasons one so we would know that she
[00:53:40] [SPEAKER_03]: wasn't infected or you know she had
[00:53:43] [SPEAKER_03]: been bitten I guess is a better way to put it
[00:53:45] [SPEAKER_03]: um not that it matters because
[00:53:46] [SPEAKER_03]: when you die you become one anyway
[00:53:49] [SPEAKER_03]: so maybe that didn't matter but anyway
[00:53:50] [SPEAKER_03]: that these kids had had a chance to
[00:53:53] [SPEAKER_03]: be on their own for six months and they still
[00:53:55] [SPEAKER_03]: seemed okay so that makes it maybe a
[00:53:57] [SPEAKER_03]: little more okay for Darrell and
[00:53:58] [SPEAKER_03]: company to just leave them there
[00:54:01] [SPEAKER_05]: yeah exactly
[00:54:03] [SPEAKER_05]: exactly um yeah
[00:54:05] [SPEAKER_05]: so just the kids surprisingly
[00:54:07] [SPEAKER_05]: for old listeners I'm sure 10 out of 10
[00:54:09] [SPEAKER_05]: for the kids for me I thought they were great
[00:54:11] [SPEAKER_03]: so I have
[00:54:12] [SPEAKER_03]: a few notes about them
[00:54:15] [SPEAKER_03]: they live at Ecole Matranel
[00:54:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Simone Vale
[00:54:19] [SPEAKER_03]: which is Ecole Matranel just means
[00:54:21] [SPEAKER_03]: kindergarten Simone Vale
[00:54:22] [SPEAKER_03]: was a French magistrate, Holocaust survivor
[00:54:25] [SPEAKER_03]: and politician who served as health
[00:54:26] [SPEAKER_03]: minister in several governments and was
[00:54:28] [SPEAKER_03]: president of the European Parliament from
[00:54:30] [SPEAKER_03]: 1979 to 1982
[00:54:32] [SPEAKER_03]: the first woman to hold that office
[00:54:34] [SPEAKER_03]: as health minister she's best remembered
[00:54:36] [SPEAKER_03]: for advancing women's rights in France
[00:54:38] [SPEAKER_03]: in particular for the 1975 law
[00:54:41] [SPEAKER_03]: that legalized abortion today known as
[00:54:43] [SPEAKER_03]: the Vale Act for whatever
[00:54:44] [SPEAKER_05]: wow what a badass lady
[00:54:47] [SPEAKER_05]: and topical
[00:54:48] [SPEAKER_05]: given the childbirth featured in this episode
[00:54:51] [SPEAKER_03]: I know I know
[00:54:52] [SPEAKER_03]: they really focused on the name so I think
[00:54:54] [SPEAKER_03]: it was intentional
[00:54:56] [SPEAKER_03]: um
[00:54:57] [SPEAKER_03]: I liked that the girl Lou you know Lou
[00:55:00] [SPEAKER_03]: the leader made Isabelle and Sylvie
[00:55:02] [SPEAKER_03]: recite a prayer to prove
[00:55:04] [SPEAKER_03]: there were nuns that was really smart
[00:55:06] [SPEAKER_05]: thinking on the spot and they did it they were like
[00:55:08] [SPEAKER_05]: yes I will do this right now
[00:55:09] [SPEAKER_03]: yep and then they immediately lied and said Darrell was
[00:55:12] [SPEAKER_03]: a priest
[00:55:14] [SPEAKER_05]: the least convincing lie in the world
[00:55:16] [SPEAKER_05]: I mean
[00:55:17] [SPEAKER_03]: to me because Lou later on
[00:55:20] [SPEAKER_03]: as they're walking to the castle
[00:55:21] [SPEAKER_03]: she's like you're not a priest and he goes
[00:55:24] [SPEAKER_03]: what tipped you off and I like that he didn't
[00:55:26] [SPEAKER_03]: try to pretend and they kind of smiled about it
[00:55:30] [SPEAKER_03]: or I don't think that's what he said
[00:55:31] [SPEAKER_03]: he said is it that obvious yeah
[00:55:33] [SPEAKER_03]: and I think
[00:55:35] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean
[00:55:36] [SPEAKER_03]: I guess just looking at him it's probably obvious
[00:55:39] [SPEAKER_03]: but I was thinking that prayer that he gave
[00:55:41] [SPEAKER_03]: it was very
[00:55:43] [SPEAKER_03]: like I said moving and seemed very sincere
[00:55:47] [SPEAKER_03]: but
[00:55:48] [SPEAKER_03]: a real priest would have something
[00:55:51] [SPEAKER_03]: more rote to say you know
[00:55:52] [SPEAKER_05]: I think that gave him a way I did wonder if Lou was
[00:55:56] [SPEAKER_05]: maybe
[00:55:57] [SPEAKER_05]: testing him
[00:55:59] [SPEAKER_03]: right yeah yeah I don't know I was like
[00:56:01] [SPEAKER_03]: but he kind of failed and passed because I think
[00:56:03] [SPEAKER_03]: she was like well you're not a priest but you seem
[00:56:05] [SPEAKER_03]: like a good guy
[00:56:07] [SPEAKER_05]: yeah exactly you seem fine
[00:56:08] [SPEAKER_03]: even though it turns out he was
[00:56:11] [SPEAKER_03]: potentially leading her to her death
[00:56:13] [SPEAKER_03]: but we talked about that already so
[00:56:16] [SPEAKER_03]: I
[00:56:16] [SPEAKER_03]: and then I just learned so there's 18 kids
[00:56:19] [SPEAKER_03]: they were dropped off at school
[00:56:20] [SPEAKER_03]: and their parents never came back to pick them up
[00:56:23] [SPEAKER_03]: which is really sad
[00:56:25] [SPEAKER_03]: and then they brought in orphans over time
[00:56:27] [SPEAKER_03]: which is why there are some younger kids
[00:56:29] [SPEAKER_03]: they hunt they grow food they fix
[00:56:31] [SPEAKER_03]: old clothes and they keep up their lessons
[00:56:34] [SPEAKER_03]: and
[00:56:34] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know I do find it a bit
[00:56:37] [SPEAKER_03]: department of suspension
[00:56:39] [SPEAKER_03]: of disbelief I guess because the teacher
[00:56:41] [SPEAKER_03]: was the one taking care of
[00:56:43] [SPEAKER_03]: them and she was older and said
[00:56:45] [SPEAKER_03]: in her ways maybe I could believe it and they just
[00:56:47] [SPEAKER_03]: wanted to keep up the comfort of a routine
[00:56:49] [SPEAKER_03]: but would they still put so much effort
[00:56:51] [SPEAKER_03]: into keeping up their English
[00:56:53] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know if I believe that you know
[00:56:55] [SPEAKER_05]: hence how much more commending you watch
[00:56:57] [SPEAKER_05]: we don't know what else they're watching
[00:56:59] [SPEAKER_01]: I know
[00:57:01] [SPEAKER_03]: but yeah it gave me
[00:57:03] [SPEAKER_03]: party of five but I don't know if you ever saw that show with
[00:57:05] [SPEAKER_03]: them
[00:57:06] [SPEAKER_05]: I didn't actually that was the guy from lost
[00:57:08] [SPEAKER_03]: was in it right yeah and he was
[00:57:10] [SPEAKER_03]: the older brother of five
[00:57:11] [SPEAKER_03]: and their parents died and he had to take care of them
[00:57:15] [SPEAKER_03]: and I
[00:57:16] [SPEAKER_03]: one last thing I liked when
[00:57:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Isabelle said to Darrell I feel sorry
[00:57:19] [SPEAKER_03]: for them not to know what the world was like
[00:57:21] [SPEAKER_03]: before and he goes you can't miss what you
[00:57:23] [SPEAKER_03]: never had and I'm like yeah that's a very good point
[00:57:26] [SPEAKER_03]: yeah I mean you could see it on more commending
[00:57:27] [SPEAKER_03]: though and wish you had it
[00:57:28] [SPEAKER_05]: I know you watch more commending and be like this is
[00:57:31] [SPEAKER_05]: the life this is what I'm missing
[00:57:33] [SPEAKER_05]: like
[00:57:35] [SPEAKER_03]: so let's see I have
[00:57:39] [SPEAKER_03]: pretty much
[00:57:39] [SPEAKER_03]: one and a half more
[00:57:41] [SPEAKER_03]: points and then some notes do you have any more
[00:57:44] [SPEAKER_05]: I might be mostly no it's let's have a look
[00:57:46] [SPEAKER_05]: um
[00:57:48] [SPEAKER_05]: we can talk about the American guy like
[00:57:50] [SPEAKER_05]: that was that was bad shit
[00:57:51] [SPEAKER_05]: like this just bad shit
[00:57:53] [SPEAKER_05]: like I buddy my power
[00:57:55] [SPEAKER_05]: I literally if you told me
[00:57:57] [SPEAKER_05]: like someone
[00:57:59] [SPEAKER_05]: from Europe who'd never met an American
[00:58:02] [SPEAKER_05]: person and try it and decided to be like yeah
[00:58:04] [SPEAKER_05]: tracks um I don't know if
[00:58:06] [SPEAKER_05]: it was like an in joker's thing but yeah it was
[00:58:08] [SPEAKER_05]: just a bit like
[00:58:09] [SPEAKER_05]: a review I read of this episode was like
[00:58:12] [SPEAKER_05]: oh it's a shame he died because
[00:58:14] [SPEAKER_05]: that would have been a great foil for all these
[00:58:16] [SPEAKER_05]: people who are looking for an American dude
[00:58:19] [SPEAKER_05]: here's one that's not Darrell
[00:58:20] [SPEAKER_05]: but he he had a
[00:58:21] [SPEAKER_05]: fucking excellent death getting pulled
[00:58:24] [SPEAKER_05]: apart like while hanging
[00:58:26] [SPEAKER_05]: but the whole like I'm an American
[00:58:31] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm
[00:58:32] [SPEAKER_03]: and being there for 12 years and not
[00:58:34] [SPEAKER_03]: and still just being like these Europeans
[00:58:36] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm keeping them out but if
[00:58:38] [SPEAKER_03]: I find an American he's my friend
[00:58:40] [SPEAKER_03]: it's just doesn't seem believable
[00:58:42] [SPEAKER_03]: I feel like what they did was
[00:58:44] [SPEAKER_03]: they like okay we have all this stuff going on
[00:58:46] [SPEAKER_03]: with you know
[00:58:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Lawrence waking up to the truth
[00:58:50] [SPEAKER_03]: and learning about him and
[00:58:51] [SPEAKER_03]: showing the fall of Paris
[00:58:54] [SPEAKER_03]: that's so great and we just need a foil
[00:58:56] [SPEAKER_03]: for Darrell that he has to fight to get
[00:58:58] [SPEAKER_03]: this a horse and
[00:59:00] [SPEAKER_03]: so what are we going to do with him let's just make him
[00:59:02] [SPEAKER_03]: the stereotypical ugly American that'll be good
[00:59:04] [SPEAKER_03]: you know just not giving much more depth than that
[00:59:06] [SPEAKER_05]: it's interesting I think they're
[00:59:08] [SPEAKER_05]: being more free and easy with
[00:59:10] [SPEAKER_05]: different nationalities in this show
[00:59:12] [SPEAKER_05]: and I don't know if it's because Europe is
[00:59:14] [SPEAKER_05]: closer together like it wouldn't be unusual
[00:59:16] [SPEAKER_05]: for an English dude to be living in Paris it wouldn't
[00:59:18] [SPEAKER_05]: be unusual for people to be
[00:59:20] [SPEAKER_05]: visiting France on holiday whereas
[00:59:22] [SPEAKER_05]: I guess Georgia pre-walking dead
[00:59:24] [SPEAKER_05]: less likely I don't know
[00:59:26] [SPEAKER_05]: I remember Rick once
[00:59:27] [SPEAKER_05]: meets an Irish woman in the opener
[00:59:29] [SPEAKER_05]: of season four that's right creepy
[00:59:31] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm you McCall is British
[00:59:34] [SPEAKER_05]: but aside from that there's not really
[00:59:35] [SPEAKER_05]: any it makes sense
[00:59:37] [SPEAKER_03]: yeah it makes sense
[00:59:39] [SPEAKER_05]: but to be so aggressively
[00:59:43] [SPEAKER_05]: stereotypically
[00:59:43] [SPEAKER_05]: Texan slash American was
[00:59:45] [SPEAKER_05]: a bold swing and I just
[00:59:47] [SPEAKER_05]: don't know that it paid off just haven't been a creepy
[00:59:49] [SPEAKER_05]: French dude like I don't
[00:59:51] [SPEAKER_05]: like I don't understand what him being American
[00:59:53] [SPEAKER_05]: really added that's what I think
[00:59:56] [SPEAKER_03]: they just wanted to give him some kind of
[00:59:58] [SPEAKER_03]: a and also like
[01:00:00] [SPEAKER_03]: because to make it
[01:00:01] [SPEAKER_03]: he's greedy you know and that's the stereotype
[01:00:04] [SPEAKER_03]: to and he doesn't
[01:00:05] [SPEAKER_03]: trust anybody around him to try
[01:00:08] [SPEAKER_03]: to help them because he only cares about himself
[01:00:10] [SPEAKER_03]: and he's not among his own kind
[01:00:12] [SPEAKER_03]: and all this you know it's all wrapped up
[01:00:14] [SPEAKER_03]: into this stereotypical
[01:00:16] [SPEAKER_03]: package yeah
[01:00:18] [SPEAKER_05]: I am
[01:00:20] [SPEAKER_05]: do think that
[01:00:21] [SPEAKER_05]: the American guy walked the kid
[01:00:24] [SPEAKER_05]: into the moat because
[01:00:26] [SPEAKER_05]: when hedgehog comes out
[01:00:28] [SPEAKER_05]: and
[01:00:29] [SPEAKER_05]: he kind of says he really wants to kill the American
[01:00:32] [SPEAKER_05]: guy the American guys like I didn't put a hand on
[01:00:34] [SPEAKER_05]: you and he's like you told me you would shoot me
[01:00:36] [SPEAKER_05]: then he starts saying push him in the moat push him
[01:00:38] [SPEAKER_05]: in the moat and I'm like why why that and then
[01:00:40] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm like oh I wonder if he pushed
[01:00:42] [SPEAKER_05]: the other guy into the moat and that's why
[01:00:44] [SPEAKER_05]: he's down there having been bitten which is
[01:00:46] [SPEAKER_03]: why would he keep that kid that's what I don't
[01:00:48] [SPEAKER_05]: get I don't know
[01:00:50] [SPEAKER_03]: bargaining power worth thinking
[01:00:52] [SPEAKER_03]: too much about yeah that's the thing where I'm like
[01:00:54] [SPEAKER_03]: slave
[01:00:56] [SPEAKER_03]: but so I did like when
[01:00:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Darrell chained him to the cart
[01:01:00] [SPEAKER_03]: and that he'd packed all this stuff in
[01:01:02] [SPEAKER_03]: and then um and I'm
[01:01:03] [SPEAKER_03]: what was Darrell gonna do with him
[01:01:07] [SPEAKER_03]: like
[01:01:08] [SPEAKER_05]: right I think Darrell just shooting
[01:01:10] [SPEAKER_03]: what is the point of keeping him alive
[01:01:11] [SPEAKER_03]: but then the side of the cart falls off in a bunch of I guess
[01:01:14] [SPEAKER_03]: fuel canisters or something fall over
[01:01:16] [SPEAKER_03]: into the moat and the guy goes ha ha ha
[01:01:19] [SPEAKER_03]: which I thought was hilarious
[01:01:22] [SPEAKER_03]: and then
[01:01:23] [SPEAKER_03]: he and he goes
[01:01:24] [SPEAKER_03]: for the gun and he and Darrell end up falling over
[01:01:27] [SPEAKER_03]: and
[01:01:28] [SPEAKER_03]: Darrell's in the moat and the guy's hanging by his chain
[01:01:31] [SPEAKER_03]: going I'm an American
[01:01:33] [SPEAKER_05]: imagine if the zombies had been like oh
[01:01:35] [SPEAKER_05]: sorry man I didn't realize you're an American
[01:01:37] [SPEAKER_05]: oh my god won't bite you that's cool
[01:01:39] [SPEAKER_05]: we're over this way like
[01:01:40] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean what
[01:01:41] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean I'm glad we got a castle
[01:01:44] [SPEAKER_03]: and a zombie mode and some flail action
[01:01:46] [SPEAKER_05]: in the zombie mode oh the set was great
[01:01:48] [SPEAKER_05]: I loved all that I was like that's really cool
[01:01:50] [SPEAKER_03]: eating into this guy's guts like a Romero
[01:01:53] [SPEAKER_03]: movie which is gross they plucked his feathers
[01:01:55] [SPEAKER_03]: yeah and
[01:01:57] [SPEAKER_03]: and then but then Darrell shoots the fuel
[01:01:59] [SPEAKER_03]: canister and there's an explosion
[01:02:01] [SPEAKER_03]: that somehow stuns the zombies
[01:02:02] [SPEAKER_03]: but doesn't hurt Darrell at all
[01:02:05] [SPEAKER_05]: yeah that's also
[01:02:06] [SPEAKER_03]: the kids throw the rope over and he was
[01:02:08] [SPEAKER_03]: wasn't Darrell shot like last week but he's like
[01:02:11] [SPEAKER_03]: he's holding on to that rope and being pulled up
[01:02:13] [SPEAKER_05]: yeah he's fine he's fine he's fine
[01:02:15] [SPEAKER_03]: like the whole action sequence
[01:02:17] [SPEAKER_03]: there was was fine it was good
[01:02:19] [SPEAKER_03]: it was probably
[01:02:21] [SPEAKER_03]: right up there with most action
[01:02:23] [SPEAKER_03]: sequences on these shows but
[01:02:25] [SPEAKER_03]: it was probably my the least
[01:02:27] [SPEAKER_03]: interesting part of the episode to me even though I liked it
[01:02:29] [SPEAKER_05]: I enjoyed the horse
[01:02:31] [SPEAKER_05]: pooling the rope I thought that was quite cool
[01:02:33] [SPEAKER_05]: I was like a literal horse power but yeah
[01:02:35] [SPEAKER_05]: it was it was not the strongest
[01:02:37] [SPEAKER_05]: point of the episode I did love the
[01:02:39] [SPEAKER_05]: gray color palette with the dark red blood
[01:02:41] [SPEAKER_05]: so the buildings are all quite white
[01:02:43] [SPEAKER_05]: and stone and when they're ripping
[01:02:45] [SPEAKER_05]: the American guy up I don't know if you knew he was American
[01:02:47] [SPEAKER_05]: he didn't mention much and
[01:02:49] [SPEAKER_05]: I liked the dark blood color
[01:02:51] [SPEAKER_05]: against the black and white I thought that was really cool
[01:02:53] [SPEAKER_05]: I like that
[01:02:55] [SPEAKER_03]: yeah yeah yeah the show
[01:02:57] [SPEAKER_03]: looks really good
[01:02:59] [SPEAKER_03]: all right I want to talk about the Morkin Mindy
[01:03:01] [SPEAKER_03]: thing a little bit
[01:03:02] [SPEAKER_05]: okay I don't know much about Morkin Mindy because
[01:03:05] [SPEAKER_05]: honestly not a big thing in Europe so
[01:03:07] [SPEAKER_03]: oh yeah I'm all ears
[01:03:08] [SPEAKER_03]: well they're sitting down to watch a show and Darrell's like what's this
[01:03:11] [SPEAKER_03]: and the kids like you'll see you'll see
[01:03:13] [SPEAKER_03]: and then you hear Nanoo Nanoo
[01:03:14] [SPEAKER_03]: and Darrell and me too
[01:03:16] [SPEAKER_03]: were like no way what
[01:03:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Morkin Mindy because
[01:03:20] [SPEAKER_03]: this is
[01:03:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Robin Williams
[01:03:24] [SPEAKER_03]: he the first time I ever saw him
[01:03:27] [SPEAKER_03]: he had a
[01:03:28] [SPEAKER_03]: guest spot on the show Happy Days
[01:03:30] [SPEAKER_03]: with Ron Howard
[01:03:32] [SPEAKER_03]: oh really? yeah and it was as Mork
[01:03:34] [SPEAKER_03]: this alien character
[01:03:36] [SPEAKER_03]: because it was late enough in that series where they were bringing in aliens
[01:03:40] [SPEAKER_05]: so was Morkin Mindy a spin-off?
[01:03:43] [SPEAKER_03]: yeah kind of
[01:03:44] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean he was only in one episode but yes
[01:03:46] [SPEAKER_03]: he like you know was up against Fonzie
[01:03:49] [SPEAKER_05]: oh that's so funny
[01:03:50] [SPEAKER_03]: and so then Morkin Mindy came out
[01:03:53] [SPEAKER_03]: and it was a huge hit here
[01:03:54] [SPEAKER_03]: and it was because just because Robin Williams
[01:03:56] [SPEAKER_03]: was so crazy you know all he did was improv
[01:03:58] [SPEAKER_03]: his way through that show
[01:04:00] [SPEAKER_05]: oh he was so funny it wasn't me
[01:04:01] [SPEAKER_03]: the show's craziness yeah and I loved it
[01:04:03] [SPEAKER_03]: I've seen every episode of that show so it was a pleasure to see that
[01:04:08] [SPEAKER_03]: no way
[01:04:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Ben Beck who
[01:04:11] [SPEAKER_03]: co-hosted
[01:04:12] [SPEAKER_03]: The Last of Us With Us and hosted Dead City
[01:04:15] [SPEAKER_03]: has his Will Helm podcast
[01:04:17] [SPEAKER_03]: where he covers different pop culture
[01:04:19] [SPEAKER_03]: subjects and he interviews people
[01:04:20] [SPEAKER_03]: and he and I did top 5 Robin Williams
[01:04:23] [SPEAKER_03]: movies just recently
[01:04:25] [SPEAKER_03]: so I would heavily recommend
[01:04:27] [SPEAKER_03]: checking that out it was really fun
[01:04:28] [SPEAKER_03]: Robin Williams is one of Ben's favorites so it was kind of a big deal
[01:04:31] [SPEAKER_03]: I've been planning to do it for a long time
[01:04:33] [SPEAKER_05]: yeah it's ironic because
[01:04:36] [SPEAKER_05]: yeah the kit like
[01:04:37] [SPEAKER_05]: Hoot is one of my favorites and Robin Williams
[01:04:39] [SPEAKER_05]: has the lead role in Hoot
[01:04:41] [SPEAKER_05]: and yeah the whole set up with the kids
[01:04:43] [SPEAKER_05]: really reminded me of that as well
[01:04:45] [SPEAKER_05]: it's a nice kind of Robin Williams link
[01:04:47] [SPEAKER_03]: yeah I was really fun to do that
[01:04:49] [SPEAKER_03]: I went back and watched like 5 or 6
[01:04:52] [SPEAKER_03]: Robin Williams movies again
[01:04:53] [SPEAKER_03]: and that was a pleasure
[01:04:55] [SPEAKER_03]: but so he
[01:04:57] [SPEAKER_03]: says that he used to watch it with Murl
[01:04:59] [SPEAKER_03]: because I would have believed it
[01:05:01] [SPEAKER_03]: if you'd told me that Daryl just didn't have
[01:05:03] [SPEAKER_03]: a TV in his house you know
[01:05:04] [SPEAKER_03]: so it was kind of cool actually
[01:05:06] [SPEAKER_03]: to think of little
[01:05:08] [SPEAKER_03]: kids Murl and Daryl
[01:05:10] [SPEAKER_03]: sitting there watching Mork and Mindy together you know
[01:05:13] [SPEAKER_05]: yeah
[01:05:15] [SPEAKER_03]: that was kind of fun
[01:05:16] [SPEAKER_05]: and he says Murl really liked it doesn't he
[01:05:18] [SPEAKER_05]: it was like his scapeism or something
[01:05:20] [SPEAKER_05]: yeah
[01:05:21] [SPEAKER_05]: and he grew up to play Yondu so
[01:05:24] [SPEAKER_05]: you know aliens
[01:05:26] [SPEAKER_03]: that's right it really had an impact on him
[01:05:29] [SPEAKER_03]: so all I have left
[01:05:31] [SPEAKER_03]: are notes what about you
[01:05:32] [SPEAKER_03]: what are your notes?
[01:05:33] [SPEAKER_05]: I am the same I think
[01:05:35] [SPEAKER_05]: oh actually one thing neither of us have talked about
[01:05:38] [SPEAKER_05]: we had a scene with
[01:05:40] [SPEAKER_05]: the main antagonist wandering
[01:05:42] [SPEAKER_05]: around the abbey
[01:05:43] [SPEAKER_05]: and it really pissed me off because
[01:05:46] [SPEAKER_05]: he finds Daryl's stupid audio
[01:05:48] [SPEAKER_05]: journal which tells him everything he needs to know
[01:05:50] [SPEAKER_05]: there's like journals and journals about
[01:05:52] [SPEAKER_05]: Laurent and there's a little map
[01:05:53] [SPEAKER_05]: on the wall I was just like well that's
[01:05:56] [SPEAKER_05]: them fuck then isn't it
[01:05:58] [SPEAKER_05]: just this like
[01:05:59] [SPEAKER_05]: dumbass
[01:05:59] [SPEAKER_05]: so that made me laugh that that had happened
[01:06:03] [SPEAKER_03]: to be fair I've started many journals and not
[01:06:05] [SPEAKER_03]: you know kept up with it so
[01:06:06] [SPEAKER_05]: I can understand true it might just be the first couple of pages
[01:06:09] [SPEAKER_05]: and then you know they're like
[01:06:11] [SPEAKER_05]: we'll just have to figure out the rest
[01:06:12] [SPEAKER_03]: I would imagine just about everyone who saw
[01:06:15] [SPEAKER_03]: that was like why'd they leave
[01:06:17] [SPEAKER_03]: all that information there
[01:06:19] [SPEAKER_05]: because they didn't leave in a hurry either
[01:06:21] [SPEAKER_05]: like they had a night
[01:06:22] [SPEAKER_05]: they were like yeah that's just hit me
[01:06:25] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm like they couldn't even rush out
[01:06:27] [SPEAKER_05]: they could have packed
[01:06:29] [SPEAKER_03]: like oh my god I guess they had two maps
[01:06:31] [SPEAKER_03]: because they have another map
[01:06:32] [SPEAKER_03]: should we take the big map now nah I gotta
[01:06:34] [SPEAKER_05]: copy and they also don't even think that guy's dead
[01:06:37] [SPEAKER_05]: they're like oh he ran away oh well
[01:06:38] [SPEAKER_05]: let's hit the road like lads
[01:06:41] [SPEAKER_05]: come on
[01:06:41] [SPEAKER_05]: I think that I think we covered everything
[01:06:44] [SPEAKER_05]: it's in the things that we
[01:06:47] [SPEAKER_05]: disgust
[01:06:48] [SPEAKER_05]: oh the castle was no
[01:06:50] [SPEAKER_05]: that's not really an interesting point we're saying
[01:06:52] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm just talking I was gonna say the image of the castle
[01:06:55] [SPEAKER_05]: looked very cool it reminded me of the
[01:06:57] [SPEAKER_05]: wizards house in Stardew valley which is a
[01:06:59] [SPEAKER_05]: video game I play a lot
[01:07:00] [SPEAKER_05]: or the castle from the holy grail and I thought
[01:07:03] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah it's great
[01:07:03] [SPEAKER_05]: the moat of zombies was very cool as well
[01:07:08] [SPEAKER_03]: yeah of course you gotta do it
[01:07:10] [SPEAKER_05]: yeah why not I mean it's a great
[01:07:13] [SPEAKER_05]: protection
[01:07:16] [SPEAKER_05]: that's it for me
[01:07:17] [SPEAKER_03]: alright let's see
[01:07:19] [SPEAKER_03]: I thought it was funny
[01:07:22] [SPEAKER_03]: when Daryl said to Laurent
[01:07:23] [SPEAKER_03]: you know no one ever called me special when I
[01:07:25] [SPEAKER_03]: was a kid not in a good way anyway
[01:07:28] [SPEAKER_05]: also when he's like
[01:07:30] [SPEAKER_05]: talking about like
[01:07:31] [SPEAKER_05]: what kind of death would you like to have
[01:07:33] [SPEAKER_05]: and he's like a quiet one and I'm like this is like
[01:07:35] [SPEAKER_05]: such parent road trip vibes
[01:07:37] [SPEAKER_05]: of like oh cool
[01:07:38] [SPEAKER_03]: yeah so funny it's a great question
[01:07:41] [SPEAKER_03]: from a kid
[01:07:43] [SPEAKER_03]: I want to hear what Daryl would actually
[01:07:46] [SPEAKER_03]: say to that though
[01:07:48] [SPEAKER_03]: so I
[01:07:49] [SPEAKER_03]: there was a scene in the flashback
[01:07:51] [SPEAKER_03]: when Isabel was at
[01:07:53] [SPEAKER_03]: her flat with Lily
[01:07:55] [SPEAKER_03]: and there's this little
[01:07:57] [SPEAKER_03]: neighbor girl and
[01:07:58] [SPEAKER_03]: she tells her to go to her apartment and her mom
[01:08:01] [SPEAKER_03]: will look after her I wondered why they put that
[01:08:03] [SPEAKER_03]: in there just made me feel like
[01:08:05] [SPEAKER_03]: oh I hope that girl is okay
[01:08:06] [SPEAKER_03]: but I guess it was the right thing to say because her mom
[01:08:09] [SPEAKER_03]: was there
[01:08:11] [SPEAKER_05]: it was I think it was just a little bit of a heart
[01:08:13] [SPEAKER_05]: wrenching that kids probably the age
[01:08:15] [SPEAKER_05]: that the kids were seeing now
[01:08:17] [SPEAKER_05]: are and
[01:08:19] [SPEAKER_05]: I think just for the
[01:08:20] [SPEAKER_05]: I think it was one of those things that pleased to the audience
[01:08:22] [SPEAKER_05]: being like no don't
[01:08:24] [SPEAKER_05]: do that that's awful bring her
[01:08:26] [SPEAKER_03]: back like yeah take her
[01:08:28] [SPEAKER_03]: with you take her on as your own
[01:08:30] [SPEAKER_05]: I did laugh that it every time I see
[01:08:32] [SPEAKER_05]: a French apartment in a TV show whether
[01:08:34] [SPEAKER_05]: it's a British show an American show whatever
[01:08:36] [SPEAKER_05]: they're always gorgeous like they're always
[01:08:38] [SPEAKER_05]: these beautiful like
[01:08:41] [SPEAKER_05]: ancient things with
[01:08:42] [SPEAKER_05]: cornicing and things like that and I've never
[01:08:44] [SPEAKER_05]: I will never really stayed in like hotels
[01:08:47] [SPEAKER_05]: when I've been to Paris but I am like is everyone's apartment
[01:08:49] [SPEAKER_05]: like that from what I understand
[01:08:50] [SPEAKER_05]: Paris is like New York like apartments
[01:08:53] [SPEAKER_05]: are tiny and expensive
[01:08:55] [SPEAKER_03]: I've stayed in Airbnb's
[01:08:57] [SPEAKER_03]: apartments and they're not
[01:08:59] [SPEAKER_03]: that nice but they're nicer than
[01:09:01] [SPEAKER_03]: the ones I've stayed in here
[01:09:03] [SPEAKER_03]: just as far as because they're old
[01:09:05] [SPEAKER_03]: buildings so they put more craftsmanship
[01:09:07] [SPEAKER_03]: into them you know taller ceiling
[01:09:09] [SPEAKER_03]: and stuff already yeah yeah
[01:09:10] [SPEAKER_03]: and just that said when I lived in Vienna
[01:09:13] [SPEAKER_05]: like my apartment was pretty
[01:09:15] [SPEAKER_05]: old and nice but yeah it's just one of those things
[01:09:17] [SPEAKER_05]: I was looking at it and I was like oh man
[01:09:18] [SPEAKER_03]: that was great
[01:09:22] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't think we mentioned but I think it's
[01:09:24] [SPEAKER_03]: significant to that Laurent wanted
[01:09:26] [SPEAKER_03]: to stay with the kids at the end
[01:09:28] [SPEAKER_03]: it shows that they did end up getting
[01:09:30] [SPEAKER_03]: along but now that I've talked to you about it
[01:09:32] [SPEAKER_03]: it's also like hey these kids are the only ones
[01:09:34] [SPEAKER_03]: that will tell me the truth I trust them you know
[01:09:36] [SPEAKER_03]: I think that was a part of it too
[01:09:38] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't think he's ever had friends I think
[01:09:40] [SPEAKER_05]: he's had people looking out for him but he's
[01:09:42] [SPEAKER_05]: had a uniquely lonely
[01:09:45] [SPEAKER_05]: experience and to suddenly have
[01:09:46] [SPEAKER_05]: friends and then he told like right we're
[01:09:48] [SPEAKER_05]: going that's like a big loss that must be
[01:09:50] [SPEAKER_03]: like a big wrench and I'm like
[01:09:52] [SPEAKER_03]: okay well Isabel
[01:09:54] [SPEAKER_03]: she could have why would she not
[01:09:56] [SPEAKER_03]: just let him stay there
[01:09:58] [SPEAKER_03]: if it's because it's too dangerous then
[01:10:00] [SPEAKER_03]: what does it say about you just leaving all these other kids
[01:10:02] [SPEAKER_03]: by themselves then
[01:10:05] [SPEAKER_05]: she's just determined that he's
[01:10:06] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't know it's like she wants him to get into the best
[01:10:08] [SPEAKER_05]: school I don't know she's a pushy ant
[01:10:10] [SPEAKER_03]: and she told Sylvie this other one that we've
[01:10:13] [SPEAKER_03]: said is probably a red shirt
[01:10:15] [SPEAKER_03]: that you know they're going to find their purpose
[01:10:18] [SPEAKER_05]: up there that wasn't actually yes thank you
[01:10:21] [SPEAKER_05]: for bringing that up because that was a really
[01:10:22] [SPEAKER_05]: interesting conversation because Sylvie
[01:10:25] [SPEAKER_05]: we find out was waiting
[01:10:26] [SPEAKER_05]: for her parents to pick her up having
[01:10:29] [SPEAKER_05]: had a lesson with one of the sisters
[01:10:30] [SPEAKER_05]: and she's there when
[01:10:32] [SPEAKER_05]: Lily and Isabel sweep in
[01:10:34] [SPEAKER_05]: and clearly her parents never come to pick her up
[01:10:37] [SPEAKER_05]: and
[01:10:38] [SPEAKER_05]: she must be in that scene she looked about five or six
[01:10:41] [SPEAKER_05]: so she must have questions about who she is
[01:10:44] [SPEAKER_05]: and where she came from and I do wonder if she's
[01:10:46] [SPEAKER_05]: going to be the one who maybe
[01:10:47] [SPEAKER_05]: tells Laurent some things about his background
[01:10:50] [SPEAKER_05]: and because she's
[01:10:52] [SPEAKER_05]: looking for that kind of thing herself
[01:10:54] [SPEAKER_03]: but I mean I brought that up just because
[01:10:56] [SPEAKER_03]: yeah they had that conversation too like
[01:10:59] [SPEAKER_03]: maybe we'll we'll find our own
[01:11:00] [SPEAKER_03]: purpose but
[01:11:03] [SPEAKER_03]: if this is about
[01:11:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Isabel finding her purpose
[01:11:08] [SPEAKER_03]: versus
[01:11:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Isabel thinking that this kid is the
[01:11:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Messiah it starts to
[01:11:13] [SPEAKER_03]: have me asking questions like well how much
[01:11:15] [SPEAKER_03]: are you pushing this kid into this dangerous
[01:11:17] [SPEAKER_03]: situation
[01:11:19] [SPEAKER_03]: because it has something more to do
[01:11:21] [SPEAKER_03]: with yourself and your wants
[01:11:23] [SPEAKER_03]: you know yeah I don't know
[01:11:25] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm just always skeptical of
[01:11:27] [SPEAKER_03]: this whole adventure
[01:11:29] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah I think Isabel's done a lot of
[01:11:31] [SPEAKER_05]: um I don't know
[01:11:33] [SPEAKER_05]: it seems yeah it just seems like he's
[01:11:35] [SPEAKER_05]: lost her whole life
[01:11:37] [SPEAKER_05]: and it happened so suddenly and it was
[01:11:39] [SPEAKER_05]: just like
[01:11:40] [SPEAKER_05]: she's so shell shocked in those final scenes
[01:11:43] [SPEAKER_05]: like I love that she didn't like
[01:11:45] [SPEAKER_05]: keel over whaling or anything
[01:11:47] [SPEAKER_05]: she's literally just stunned and it's almost
[01:11:49] [SPEAKER_05]: the same as she was at the start
[01:11:51] [SPEAKER_05]: she's just silent and like
[01:11:53] [SPEAKER_05]: reeling from everything that's happened
[01:11:55] [SPEAKER_05]: and I thought that was so powerful
[01:11:57] [SPEAKER_05]: but just so sad because
[01:11:59] [SPEAKER_05]: she's lost everything and lost it so quickly
[01:12:01] [SPEAKER_05]: and then suddenly has this baby to look after
[01:12:04] [SPEAKER_05]: not just similar to Rick
[01:12:05] [SPEAKER_05]: when he gets presented with Judith in
[01:12:07] [SPEAKER_05]: season 3 where he kind of has lost it
[01:12:10] [SPEAKER_05]: all and then gained something only
[01:12:11] [SPEAKER_05]: she didn't even know there was a baby coming
[01:12:13] [SPEAKER_05]: um yeah
[01:12:16] [SPEAKER_05]: it's just it's a lot for her
[01:12:17] [SPEAKER_05]: it made me understand her character a little better
[01:12:19] [SPEAKER_05]: I think
[01:12:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah and then she really
[01:12:23] [SPEAKER_03]: throws herself into it and becomes
[01:12:25] [SPEAKER_03]: this nun and
[01:12:27] [SPEAKER_03]: starts believing in God
[01:12:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah but she still lies
[01:12:31] [SPEAKER_03]: a lot
[01:12:32] [SPEAKER_03]: I think she's still it's
[01:12:35] [SPEAKER_03]: complicated with her still which is good
[01:12:37] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah
[01:12:39] [SPEAKER_03]: Nottingun
[01:12:41] [SPEAKER_03]: and speaking of that
[01:12:43] [SPEAKER_03]: not really but in the bedroom Darrell offers
[01:12:45] [SPEAKER_03]: to sleep on the floor
[01:12:47] [SPEAKER_03]: and Isabelle says the bed is big enough
[01:12:49] [SPEAKER_03]: it's fine and
[01:12:51] [SPEAKER_03]: I like the bath scene and I like this scene too
[01:12:54] [SPEAKER_03]: because to me they're just
[01:12:55] [SPEAKER_03]: comfortable with each other and I don't think
[01:12:57] [SPEAKER_03]: it's sexual or romantic at all
[01:12:59] [SPEAKER_03]: and Darrell knows how to be friends with a woman
[01:13:01] [SPEAKER_03]: you know
[01:13:02] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah I don't think there's vibes there
[01:13:04] [SPEAKER_05]: it was very there's like a fan fiction
[01:13:07] [SPEAKER_05]: trope of like there was only one bed
[01:13:09] [SPEAKER_05]: that's where a lot of fan fiction goes
[01:13:11] [SPEAKER_05]: and yeah honestly I got no vibes
[01:13:13] [SPEAKER_05]: from that it was more just like shut up it's fine
[01:13:15] [SPEAKER_05]: and I was like okay that's nice that it's not going to
[01:13:17] [SPEAKER_05]: be a will they won't they sort of thing
[01:13:19] [SPEAKER_03]: and then they start having a conversation
[01:13:21] [SPEAKER_03]: you know
[01:13:22] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah it's weirdly
[01:13:25] [SPEAKER_05]: more intimate but in a nice way
[01:13:27] [SPEAKER_05]: because they're talking about stuff that's real which
[01:13:29] [SPEAKER_05]: I quite like
[01:13:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Me too
[01:13:32] [SPEAKER_03]: At one point Darrell said to somebody
[01:13:34] [SPEAKER_03]: we just need to get to the radio
[01:13:36] [SPEAKER_03]: and I was
[01:13:38] [SPEAKER_03]: I didn't know they were going to find a radio
[01:13:41] [SPEAKER_05]: There's a bit at the start
[01:13:41] [SPEAKER_05]: and I meant to go back and figure it out
[01:13:43] [SPEAKER_05]: at the start there's something about like
[01:13:45] [SPEAKER_05]: their off track but if they find this person
[01:13:48] [SPEAKER_05]: with the radio they'll be able to get some kind of help
[01:13:50] [SPEAKER_05]: that will help them get back on track or something
[01:13:52] [SPEAKER_05]: it's something to do with
[01:13:54] [SPEAKER_05]: or radioing before they get into
[01:13:56] [SPEAKER_05]: Paris or something like that so there's
[01:13:57] [SPEAKER_05]: a MacGuffin reason or just a reason
[01:14:00] [SPEAKER_05]: why they need to get to the radio
[01:14:01] [SPEAKER_05]: but it happens
[01:14:04] [SPEAKER_05]: it's in the scene right after
[01:14:06] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah and it happens right after the flashback
[01:14:09] [SPEAKER_05]: when I was like I want to be back in the flashback
[01:14:10] [SPEAKER_05]: so it wasn't really listening
[01:14:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Well he wanted to go to
[01:14:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Paris and she said no and it turns out
[01:14:16] [SPEAKER_03]: it's because
[01:14:17] [SPEAKER_03]: she's got bad memories of
[01:14:20] [SPEAKER_03]: Paris and would go to this other place
[01:14:22] [SPEAKER_03]: but yeah I guess there's a radio there and it's a stop
[01:14:24] [SPEAKER_03]: along the way maybe they can get
[01:14:26] [SPEAKER_03]: fresh supplies or something like that
[01:14:28] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know but their ultimate goal
[01:14:30] [SPEAKER_03]: is up on the north coast
[01:14:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, exactly
[01:14:33] [SPEAKER_03]: That's what he wants. Okay I have two more
[01:14:36] [SPEAKER_03]: notes. One
[01:14:38] [SPEAKER_03]: picturesque place we saw in
[01:14:40] [SPEAKER_03]: the first episode last week
[01:14:42] [SPEAKER_03]: shows him walking
[01:14:44] [SPEAKER_03]: on top of arches
[01:14:46] [SPEAKER_03]: over a river it's like a double decker
[01:14:48] [SPEAKER_03]: arches and I'm that
[01:14:50] [SPEAKER_03]: look familiar and when I
[01:14:51] [SPEAKER_03]: show this episode to Jenny she's like oh yeah
[01:14:54] [SPEAKER_03]: we went there
[01:14:55] [SPEAKER_03]: went to France, yeah it's called
[01:14:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Ponte de Gard it's a Roman aqueduct
[01:15:00] [SPEAKER_03]: from the
[01:15:01] [SPEAKER_03]: 1st century AD
[01:15:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh cool! And it was really cool
[01:15:06] [SPEAKER_05]: That's awesome
[01:15:07] [SPEAKER_03]: I just wanted to say that
[01:15:08] [SPEAKER_03]: and then last
[01:15:10] [SPEAKER_03]: in episode one because when I did rewatch it with
[01:15:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Jenny I noticed this when Codron
[01:15:15] [SPEAKER_03]: went to take Laurent
[01:15:17] [SPEAKER_03]: when he barged into the
[01:15:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Abbey and threatened to take Laurent
[01:15:20] [SPEAKER_03]: he said he'll make
[01:15:22] [SPEAKER_03]: a guerriere for Genet
[01:15:25] [SPEAKER_03]: a warrior for Genet
[01:15:27] [SPEAKER_03]: that Genet is the woman
[01:15:28] [SPEAKER_03]: at the end of the episode
[01:15:30] [SPEAKER_03]: so I think that means that Codron
[01:15:32] [SPEAKER_03]: works for Genet
[01:15:35] [SPEAKER_05]: Ahhhh okay
[01:15:36] [SPEAKER_05]: That makes sense, yeah I didn't
[01:15:39] [SPEAKER_05]: catch that at all. Okay so it's a bigger
[01:15:40] [SPEAKER_05]: she kind of runs the militia
[01:15:43] [SPEAKER_05]: Right, cool
[01:15:48] music
[01:16:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Alright we're back it's time for some news
[01:16:05] [SPEAKER_01]: du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du du
[01:16:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Infected news

[01:16:11] [SPEAKER_03]: I guess Ride with Norman Reed is
[01:16:13] [SPEAKER_03]: still ongoing
[01:16:14] [SPEAKER_03]: I think it's a new season
[01:16:16] [SPEAKER_03]: now they've there are a couple episodes
[01:16:18] [SPEAKER_03]: in or something and this week it's
[01:16:20] [SPEAKER_03]: Norman Reedus and Josh Holloway

[01:16:23] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh no way
[01:16:25] [SPEAKER_05]: Okay I'm going to watch that
[01:16:27] [SPEAKER_03]: I know I might watch it too
[01:16:28] [SPEAKER_03]: I just saw a screen
[01:16:31] [SPEAKER_03]: cap of Josh with a big smile on his face
[01:16:33] [SPEAKER_05]: Fully thought you were going to see
[01:16:35] [SPEAKER_05]: Josh Hamilton but this came there
[01:16:38] [SPEAKER_03]: That would be pretty awesome too
[01:16:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Sorry
[01:16:41] [SPEAKER_03]: I love that
[01:16:42] [SPEAKER_03]: So I have another item here
[01:16:45] [SPEAKER_03]: that's kind of long but
[01:16:47] [SPEAKER_03]: I kind of love it
[01:16:48] [SPEAKER_03]: The Daily Beast had an article
[01:16:50] [SPEAKER_03]: entitled the most annoying children in the
[01:16:52] [SPEAKER_03]: Walking Dead universe colon ataxonomy
[01:16:56] HAHAHAHAHA
[01:16:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Written by Lucy Haney
[01:17:01] HAHAHAHAHA
[01:17:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Congratulations on getting published
[01:17:03] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah that was my PhD thesis
[01:17:05] [SPEAKER_05]: It was Annoying Kids
[01:17:07] [SPEAKER_05]: That was Laura Bradley
[01:17:09] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm just going to read some of it
[01:17:11] [SPEAKER_03]: I might start sort of summarizing
[01:17:13] [SPEAKER_03]: when I get later on but I'm going to read some
[01:17:15] [SPEAKER_03]: In the world of Walking Dead
[01:17:16] [SPEAKER_03]: they're simply everywhere
[01:17:17] [SPEAKER_03]: They reek, they're always moaning and groaning
[01:17:20] [SPEAKER_03]: and more often than not they're deadly
[01:17:22] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm not talking about the zombies
[01:17:23] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm talking about this franchise's endlessly awful kids
[01:17:27] [SPEAKER_03]: HAHAHAHAHA
[01:17:28] [SPEAKER_03]: The legends of the Walking Dead's obnoxious
[01:17:30] [SPEAKER_03]: sometimes truly messed up
[01:17:32] [SPEAKER_03]: children precede them
[01:17:33] [SPEAKER_03]: mostly through ranked lists
[01:17:35] [SPEAKER_03]: like every major kid on the Walking Dead
[01:17:37] [SPEAKER_03]: ranked from terrible to the worst
[01:17:41] HAHAHAHAHA
[01:17:42] [SPEAKER_03]: HAHAHAHAHA
[01:17:43] [SPEAKER_03]: From the very beginning we had Carl Grimes
[01:17:45] [SPEAKER_03]: who wanted nothing more than to be like
[01:17:47] [SPEAKER_03]: his father and spend his first several seasons
[01:17:49] [SPEAKER_03]: messing everything up instead
[01:17:51] [SPEAKER_03]: but as the series trudged on the kids got
[01:17:53] [SPEAKER_03]: more and more despicable
[01:17:54] [SPEAKER_03]: this is pretty harsh and I'm not saying I agree with it
[01:17:57] [SPEAKER_03]: I just think it's funny
[01:17:58] [SPEAKER_03]: At this point we've seen cowardly shriekers,
[01:18:00] [SPEAKER_03]: sullen teens and undead brats galore
[01:18:03] [SPEAKER_03]: enough to fill say a barn
[01:18:06] HAHAHAHAHA
[01:18:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Now the new spin-off
[01:18:09] [SPEAKER_03]: The Walking Dead Darryl Dixon has given us
[01:18:10] [SPEAKER_03]: a new desperately annoying child
[01:18:12] [SPEAKER_03]: quote, protagonist named Laurent
[01:18:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Much like HBO's Zombified hit the last
[01:18:17] [SPEAKER_03]: of us Darryl Dixon follows its
[01:18:18] [SPEAKER_03]: scruffy hero as he escorts a chosen
[01:18:20] [SPEAKER_03]: child to safety
[01:18:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Unfortunately for all of us the Rubik's Cube
[01:18:24] [SPEAKER_03]: toting prodigy Laurent is just as insufferable
[01:18:27] [SPEAKER_03]: as the rest of this universe's young progeny
[01:18:29] [SPEAKER_03]: but where exactly does he fit in
[01:18:31] [SPEAKER_03]: let's break these cantankerous kids into categories
[01:18:33] [SPEAKER_03]: and find out
[01:18:34] [SPEAKER_03]: so she's broken them into categories
[01:18:36] [SPEAKER_03]: The first category is the end time over-achievers
[01:18:39] [SPEAKER_03]: HAHAHA
[01:18:40] [SPEAKER_03]: These endlessly ambitious try-hards are some of
[01:18:43] [SPEAKER_03]: the most common young specimens in the
[01:18:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Walking Dead universe
[01:18:45] [SPEAKER_03]: In a way it's understandable, we all want to do our parts
[01:18:49] [SPEAKER_03]: to help scratch out an existence in the apocalypse
[01:18:51] [SPEAKER_03]: especially if our daddy happens to be like
[01:18:53] [SPEAKER_03]: the sheriff
[01:18:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Unfortunately for these would-be heroes they're usually prone to awful
[01:18:56] [SPEAKER_03]: decision making skills
[01:18:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Looking at you Carl Grimes
[01:18:59] [SPEAKER_03]: and delusions of grandeur
[01:19:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Hi Henry in the Kingdom
[01:19:02] [SPEAKER_03]: and also Iris Bennett of the Walking Dead world beyond
[01:19:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh yeah Iris
[01:19:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Eventually these characters also tend to fall
[01:19:10] [SPEAKER_03]: into some extremely ill advised romances
[01:19:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Henry is definitely guilty of this
[01:19:14] [SPEAKER_03]: being that he did Lydia when doing so
[01:19:16] [SPEAKER_03]: was still a huge risk as is Carl
[01:19:17] [SPEAKER_03]: at least in the comics
[01:19:19] [SPEAKER_03]: So far Laurent feels like a shoe in for this category
[01:19:22] [SPEAKER_03]: A multilingual know-it-all
[01:19:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Laurent is the gravitational center around which Darryl Dixon's
[01:19:28] [SPEAKER_03]: and yet he seems pathologically incapable
[01:19:29] [SPEAKER_03]: of making even one good decision
[01:19:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Eventually he makes a choice so
[01:19:33] [SPEAKER_03]: unbelievably horrendous that Darryl is left
[01:19:35] [SPEAKER_03]: sputtering and shouting in disbelief
[01:19:38] [SPEAKER_03]: demanding to know why he did it
[01:19:39] [SPEAKER_03]: I wonder if-is this-that would be a spoiler
[01:19:41] [SPEAKER_05]: cause we've not seen that yet
[01:19:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Hopefully it's okay with people that I read that
[01:19:45] [SPEAKER_03]: The reason is understandable if I'm being honest
[01:19:48] [SPEAKER_03]: but the action is absolutely not
[01:19:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Send this kid to the post apocalyptic
[01:19:52] [SPEAKER_03]: Hague
[01:19:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Next category
[01:19:56] [SPEAKER_03]: The rebels with the cause
[01:19:57] [SPEAKER_03]: or no
[01:19:59] [SPEAKER_03]: The rebels without a cause
[01:20:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Equally ubiquitous is in this dirty
[01:20:03] [SPEAKER_03]: sweaty world our teenagers whose resentment
[01:20:05] [SPEAKER_03]: can sometimes fester into foolishness
[01:20:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Enid left to break out of Alexandria
[01:20:09] [SPEAKER_03]: to tromp around the woods and seem to enjoy
[01:20:11] [SPEAKER_03]: nothing more than blowing off her friends
[01:20:13] [SPEAKER_03]: to instead just
[01:20:15] [SPEAKER_03]: survive somehow on her own
[01:20:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Ron Anderson played by a young
[01:20:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Austin Abrams tried to kill Carl
[01:20:21] [SPEAKER_03]: to avenge his abusive father after Rick killed him
[01:20:24] [SPEAKER_03]: and if I'm being honest
[01:20:25] [SPEAKER_03]: I was extremely grateful when Michonne
[01:20:27] [SPEAKER_03]: ran him through with her katana
[01:20:29] [SPEAKER_05]: I remember that
[01:20:31] [SPEAKER_05]: I wanted to shush
[01:20:32] [SPEAKER_03]: And let's not forget the ceaselessly grumpy
[01:20:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Chris Manawa who might have been fear
[01:20:37] [SPEAKER_03]: The Walking Dead's worst character of all time
[01:20:39] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh you know what
[01:20:40] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't agree with worst character of all time but he was annoying
[01:20:43] [SPEAKER_05]: Yes he was
[01:20:45] [SPEAKER_03]: He was whiny, he was morose
[01:20:47] [SPEAKER_03]: he was selfish, he was just plain intolerable
[01:20:49] [SPEAKER_03]: how satisfying that ultimately it was his own
[01:20:52] [SPEAKER_03]: awful choices that killed him
[01:20:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Then again it's also a pity because after
[01:20:57] [SPEAKER_03]: another seizure so he could have made a good antagonist
[01:21:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Speaking of which
[01:21:01] [SPEAKER_03]: the pint-sized villains
[01:21:03] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh amazing
[01:21:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Sometimes the kids are worse than not
[01:21:07] [SPEAKER_03]: than not alright
[01:21:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Sometimes they turn out to be some of the most bone chilling
[01:21:11] [SPEAKER_03]: villains
[01:21:12] [SPEAKER_03]: I will never forgive Fear The Walking Dead's Charlie
[01:21:15] [SPEAKER_03]: for killing Nick Clark
[01:21:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes I didn't read this whole thing
[01:21:18] [SPEAKER_03]: I had a time by the way
[01:21:18] [SPEAKER_03]: One of my favorite characters in the entire franchise
[01:21:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Bad Decisions and all
[01:21:23] [SPEAKER_03]: But the real juggernaut of this category is Lizzie Samuels
[01:21:26] [SPEAKER_03]: A kid so messed up that Carol Pella
[01:21:29] [SPEAKER_03]: tearfully shot her in the back of the head
[01:21:31] [SPEAKER_03]: For anyone who's
[01:21:32] [SPEAKER_03]: forgotten season 4 is The Grove
[01:21:34] [SPEAKER_03]: it's worth remembering one of The Walking Dead's most haunting episodes
[01:21:37] [SPEAKER_03]: Lizzie's father charged her
[01:21:39] [SPEAKER_03]: to take care of her little sister Mika
[01:21:41] [SPEAKER_03]: as he died from a zombie
[01:21:42] [SPEAKER_03]: zombie bite
[01:21:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Unfortunately she lost her grip with the reality
[01:21:45] [SPEAKER_03]: and became attached to the undead
[01:21:47] [SPEAKER_03]: whom she believed spoke to her
[01:21:48] [SPEAKER_03]: Carol and Tyrese were horrified one day
[01:21:51] [SPEAKER_03]: to discover her standing over Mika's dead body
[01:21:53] [SPEAKER_03]: waiting for her to come back to life
[01:21:55] [SPEAKER_03]: as a compassionate intelligent zombie
[01:21:57] [SPEAKER_03]: When Lizzie made clear she was coming
[01:21:59] [SPEAKER_03]: for Judith Next Carol did the unthinkable
[01:22:01] [SPEAKER_03]: and killed her ward standing behind
[01:22:03] [SPEAKER_03]: her and whispering look at the flowers
[01:22:04] [SPEAKER_03]: We all remember that we didn't need to read that
[01:22:07] [SPEAKER_05]: Totally justified
[01:22:09] [SPEAKER_05]: Totally justified I think
[01:22:11] [SPEAKER_03]: The Frady Cats
[01:22:13] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh they're the worst
[01:22:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Those are the ones you hate the most
[01:22:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Listen I know that the zombie apocalypse
[01:22:19] [SPEAKER_03]: is a terrifying environment for a young boy
[01:22:21] [SPEAKER_03]: and Sam Anderson also grew up
[01:22:23] [SPEAKER_03]: with a horrible father
[01:22:24] [SPEAKER_03]: and also Carol's terrifying threat
[01:22:26] [SPEAKER_03]: to leave him out in the woods to get eaten by
[01:22:28] [SPEAKER_03]: zombies probably didn't help
[01:22:30] [SPEAKER_03]: So yes I'm probably being way too hard
[01:22:32] [SPEAKER_03]: on little Sam when I say he's one of the most
[01:22:35] [SPEAKER_03]: annoying young characters the franchise ever spawned
[01:22:38] [SPEAKER_03]: His mother didn't help
[01:22:40] [SPEAKER_03]: by refusing to prepare him for a reality
[01:22:42] [SPEAKER_03]: either still he's a deeply
[01:22:44] [SPEAKER_03]: unflattering reflection of how we would all
[01:22:46] [SPEAKER_03]: probably act during the zombie apocalypse
[01:22:47] [SPEAKER_03]: That's true
[01:22:48] [SPEAKER_03]: He grew up sheltered from zombies
[01:22:51] [SPEAKER_03]: and so unlike Rick and his crew
[01:22:53] [SPEAKER_03]: when he sees one he screams and cries
[01:22:55] [SPEAKER_03]: It's relatable but at the end of the day
[01:22:57] [SPEAKER_03]: as Sam finds out it's also no way to stay alive
[01:23:00] [SPEAKER_03]: True
[01:23:00] [SPEAKER_03]: There's two more calories
[01:23:04] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm surprised Gracie didn't get a mention there
[01:23:06] [SPEAKER_03]: Well
[01:23:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh yeah
[01:23:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Wait a minute which one was that
[01:23:11] [SPEAKER_05]: Aaron's daughter
[01:23:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah
[01:23:14] [SPEAKER_03]: That scene in the basement
[01:23:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Yup
[01:23:18] [SPEAKER_03]: The undead menaces
[01:23:20] [SPEAKER_03]: Far be it from me to blame the governor's
[01:23:23] [SPEAKER_03]: villainy on his undead four foot tall child
[01:23:25] [SPEAKER_03]: that man turned Woodbury into a township
[01:23:27] [SPEAKER_03]: of horrors all on his own
[01:23:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Still his motivation was his grotesque
[01:23:32] [SPEAKER_03]: decomposing daughter
[01:23:33] [SPEAKER_03]: Penny Blake
[01:23:35] [SPEAKER_03]: whom he kept fed and clothed
[01:23:37] [SPEAKER_03]: even going so far as to brush her hair
[01:23:39] [SPEAKER_03]: you simply hate to see it
[01:23:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah
[01:23:42] [SPEAKER_05]: It was so gross
[01:23:43] [SPEAKER_03]: It was sad and while it might be unfair to call Carol's
[01:23:47] [SPEAKER_03]: poor daughter Sophia Pelletier
[01:23:49] [SPEAKER_03]: a menace the group's ongoing
[01:23:51] [SPEAKER_03]: search for her did essentially tank the
[01:23:53] [SPEAKER_03]: second season
[01:23:54] [SPEAKER_03]: she was a sweet lovable soul when she was alive
[01:23:57] [SPEAKER_03]: but by the time we found her zombified corpse
[01:23:59] [SPEAKER_03]: in Herschel's barn at the end of the walking
[01:24:01] [SPEAKER_03]: dead sophomore season I was more than
[01:24:03] [SPEAKER_03]: ready to never hear her name again
[01:24:04] [SPEAKER_03]: I know people don't agree
[01:24:07] [SPEAKER_03]: but I kind of agree with
[01:24:09] [SPEAKER_03]: that I know that was an iconic scene when she came
[01:24:11] [SPEAKER_03]: out of the barn that everybody that's when I fell
[01:24:13] [SPEAKER_03]: in love with the walking dead but just the first half
[01:24:15] [SPEAKER_03]: of that season it was just Sophia Sophia
[01:24:17] [SPEAKER_03]: It dragged
[01:24:18] [SPEAKER_03]: And last the exceptions
[01:24:21] [SPEAKER_03]: not every kid on the walking dead
[01:24:23] [SPEAKER_03]: was bad as always we have a few exceptions
[01:24:25] [SPEAKER_03]: to prove the rule Lizzie's poor little sister
[01:24:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Miko was a total sweetheart
[01:24:29] [SPEAKER_03]: as was Beth Green
[01:24:32] [SPEAKER_03]: who started out frustrating but eventually grew into one of the shows
[01:24:35] [SPEAKER_03]: most reliable sources of light
[01:24:37] [SPEAKER_03]: that is until they killed her in a blindingly
[01:24:39] [SPEAKER_03]: ill-conceived midseason quote twist
[01:24:41] [SPEAKER_05]: also I feel like not quite a kid
[01:24:45] [SPEAKER_05]: yeah
[01:24:45] [SPEAKER_05]: but you know I'll take it I'll take it
[01:24:47] [SPEAKER_03]: yeah yeah
[01:24:48] [SPEAKER_03]: Lydia was a smart and resourceful survivor
[01:24:50] [SPEAKER_03]: with a deep well of empathy even in
[01:24:52] [SPEAKER_03]: spite of her cruel upbringing at the hands
[01:24:54] [SPEAKER_03]: of whisper leader alpha
[01:24:55] [SPEAKER_03]: and then of course there's Judith Grimes
[01:24:58] [SPEAKER_03]: a child character so perfect she always
[01:25:00] [SPEAKER_03]: almost delves into Mary Sue territory
[01:25:02] [SPEAKER_03]: then again what else could we have expected
[01:25:04] [SPEAKER_03]: from Rick Grimes baby dubbed
[01:25:06] [SPEAKER_03]: ass kicker by Darrell Dixon himself
[01:25:08] [SPEAKER_03]: the walking dead might be overrun with useless kids
[01:25:10] [SPEAKER_03]: and surely teens
[01:25:12] [SPEAKER_03]: but this one was clearly there to redeem them all
[01:25:16] [SPEAKER_05]: aww
[01:25:16] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm glad that Judith didn't make the annoying list
[01:25:19] [SPEAKER_05]: yeah
[01:25:22] [SPEAKER_03]: well that was a mean article
[01:25:23] [SPEAKER_03]: and I totally I loved every minute of it
[01:25:26] [SPEAKER_05]: yes Laura Bradley
[01:25:27] [SPEAKER_05]: yes
[01:25:29] [SPEAKER_05]: I love it
[01:25:30] [SPEAKER_05]: I actually love it
[01:25:32] [SPEAKER_03]: oh yeah maybe we could
[01:25:35] [SPEAKER_03]: that was delightful maybe we could get Laura
[01:25:37] [SPEAKER_03]: Bradley on for something sometime which reminds me
[01:25:39] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know if we've mentioned it on the podcast
[01:25:41] [SPEAKER_03]: but you always say how much
[01:25:43] [SPEAKER_03]: you like Eric Cain's reviews
[01:25:45] [SPEAKER_03]: of fear the walking dead in Forbes
[01:25:47] [SPEAKER_03]: because he just is
[01:25:50] [SPEAKER_03]: no whole part
[01:25:51] [SPEAKER_03]: out of trashing that show
[01:25:53] [SPEAKER_03]: it makes me want to bow down at his altar
[01:25:56] [SPEAKER_03]: and so we've been in contact with him
[01:25:59] [SPEAKER_03]: and hopefully we're going to be able to have him
[01:26:01] [SPEAKER_03]: on when we talk about
[01:26:03] [SPEAKER_03]: fear at some point
[01:26:04] [SPEAKER_05]: when we want to burn it all to the ground
[01:26:07] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm just like
[01:26:09] [SPEAKER_03]: that's right
[01:26:10] [SPEAKER_05]: you know what
[01:26:12] [SPEAKER_05]: an episode about the kids at the walking dead would be
[01:26:14] [SPEAKER_05]: quite funny I think
[01:26:16] [SPEAKER_05]: but yeah so that was great thank you for sharing that
[01:26:19] [SPEAKER_05]: that's really made my evening I'd forgotten about
[01:26:20] [SPEAKER_05]: I forgot Ron existed until I was watching
[01:26:23] [SPEAKER_05]: me too
[01:26:24] [SPEAKER_05]: when we were researching for the Daryl episode
[01:26:26] [SPEAKER_05]: and I was like what were all the season
[01:26:28] [SPEAKER_05]: finales and things like that and I was like
[01:26:29] [SPEAKER_05]: fucking Ron he sucked
[01:26:34] [SPEAKER_05]: I just remember
[01:26:35] [SPEAKER_05]: the kid that played Sam
[01:26:37] [SPEAKER_05]: I think he ended up being really good friends
[01:26:38] [SPEAKER_05]: with Melissa McBride and he was such
[01:26:40] [SPEAKER_05]: an old soul and I remember watching an interview
[01:26:42] [SPEAKER_05]: with him and he's like oh Melissa
[01:26:44] [SPEAKER_05]: and I we go antiquing at the weekends
[01:26:47] [SPEAKER_05]: I just was like
[01:26:48] [SPEAKER_05]: oh well at least he'll be okay
[01:26:49] [SPEAKER_05]: he goes antiquing he's fine
[01:26:51] [SPEAKER_05]: just loving life
[01:26:53] [SPEAKER_03]: that was like
[01:26:56] [SPEAKER_03]: remember those
[01:26:57] [SPEAKER_03]: episodes that were just the governor's
[01:27:00] [SPEAKER_03]: backstory
[01:27:01] [SPEAKER_03]: that nobody liked
[01:27:02] [SPEAKER_03]: and that girl friend it was when we met Tara
[01:27:06] [SPEAKER_03]: and there was a little girl
[01:27:07] [SPEAKER_03]: yeah and she was
[01:27:10] [SPEAKER_03]: at Walker Stucker
[01:27:11] [SPEAKER_03]: hilarious
[01:27:12] [SPEAKER_03]: super smart and yeah she just stole
[01:27:16] [SPEAKER_03]: the show she was so funny
[01:27:17] [SPEAKER_05]: oh that's awesome I'd forgotten
[01:27:20] [SPEAKER_05]: her yeah she
[01:27:21] [SPEAKER_05]: dies doesn't she she gets bitten or something
[01:27:23] [SPEAKER_03]: yeah yeah I think in the mud
[01:27:26] [SPEAKER_03]: right a zombie popped out of the mud and got her
[01:27:28] [SPEAKER_05]: yeah and then literally
[01:27:30] [SPEAKER_05]: properly loses her shit
[01:27:31] [SPEAKER_05]: yeah yeah it happens
