Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
What's up, y'all? Welcome to another episode of The Fall
Nerds Show. On this episode, we talk about episode six
of iron Heart, in which black girls are making deals
with devils.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Mm hmm, but it all falls down.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
Mephisto, okay, and that leaves us the episode six, the
big fucking finale.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Who was like to start on this? We finally get
to see where the hood.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Let's not let come, let's step to the you know,
to meet it.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
That is to me, that is to me.

Speaker 4 (00:47):
We finally get to see where Parker got the hood from. Ye,
and it's from Borat.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Another person who I'm not the biggest fan of, but
I thought he did a fantastic job. Is Mephisto you?

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Oh yeah, let's talk about it, do y'all? Do you okay?
So you don't like the casting, Ben?

Speaker 1 (01:02):
No, I just I'm not a big fan of him.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Well fine, but do you like the casting? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:06):
I thought he did an incredible job. I love his
flip of absence and it made me I had this
in my notes. Is that like intentional to make the
devil British, you know, to represent like the British Empire
and that type of imperial.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
That's a good question.

Speaker 4 (01:21):
But that's what happens in Star Wars, right, all of
the Empire they have British accents.

Speaker 5 (01:25):
Yeah, and that's kind of like a stage standard type.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
Well that that started as a stage standard, but then
when and Or come along, Gilboay flips that to make
it where it's the fact that the British are main
and mainly white, et cetera. Or there's only a there's
one lightstin British Imperial we see, et cetera. So that
was definitely using and Or Now I'm not sure if it's.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
He didn't want to one accent.

Speaker 4 (01:47):
You talk about Sasha Baron Cohen as the Mefis though himself,
yes he does more than ask if it's Cone.

Speaker 5 (01:53):
It's all that ship. It's intentional because yes, that is true.
He's a master impressionist of Lane all that stuff.

Speaker 4 (02:00):
So what did you think about the revealed genesia of
Mephisto and of being it being being played by Sasha
Baron Cohen.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
I didn't have any thoughts.

Speaker 6 (02:09):
I was like, all right, you know, okay.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
None of y'all feel like finally I wanted to.

Speaker 5 (02:19):
I wanted because I wanted to ask you guys about it.
Because the last time I was on here, we were
talking about the rollout of Ironheart and how it just
seemed kind of lackluster and unceremonious. And it seemed to
me like, do you all think that Disney trojan horses
because everybody because everybody.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
Wants Mephisto, right, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
I'm gonna say yes and no. Yes, because this is
a great Torgon way to do it. No, because they
fucked up, because you could have I'm not saying you
could have revealed Mefisio. You could not have done that,
but they could have done a bad better job of it.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
Really give you something better than what we got.

Speaker 4 (03:03):
And the trailers and not to say Disney ever tells
the truth in the trailers, but they give you some
more meat. I just feel like they give you something
more exciting. And we were always at least I know,
Ben and I would talk a lot about it, like
they're not really giving us much and they're not trying
to overpower the naysayers.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
It just didn't feel like that.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
And and I don't know if it's just me feeling
a way, it just didn't like the energy was there
to really be like, let's push this this is something
y'all have to see. There's some crazy shit happening. No,
you couldn't say in the physical Yes, you have to
read direct. But I don't know that. I don't know
the way the trailers were cut or what like. I
just felt like it could have they could have.

Speaker 6 (03:41):
Gotten So here's my question then, right, So I didn't
necessarily have a heart on for Mephisto coming or going,
I'm not so connected to that or whatever. Did you
feel like what we got with Sasha Baron Cohen did
did that salad?

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Did that like satiate what you were.

Speaker 6 (03:59):
Looking for in the Mephisto appearance? Because sometimes with Marvel
as a movie watcher, sometimes I'll see a character and
I could feel why everybody was hyped for this character.
It could be somebody that's not like my jam, but
I feel the energy, I feel the vibes, and I
get it, and I can you know it's context cluesing shit?

Speaker 5 (04:19):
This?

Speaker 2 (04:20):
You know? I don't.

Speaker 6 (04:21):
That's why I said, I don't know. Did y'all get
what you were looking for from this?

Speaker 4 (04:25):
I don't know if I was looking well, I think
that's the first thing I wasn't looking for. Memphisto I
didn't think that he would be there, and then two
it was. It became a joke because since Wanda Vision,
it was like, oh, Mephisto,
