Episode Transcript

(00:08):
Are the rumours true, Evas? I'm afraid so, Professor.
The good and the bad and the boy.

(00:42):
Welcome to another episode of The Good, the Bad and the Boy.
I am your host Corey, joined by my fellow Co host Trey.
Hello. Are you ready to discuss Part 1
of the end of this review series?

(01:02):
The first part of the end of theseries.
Seven films, right? Seven films. 8 movies.
Seven books, 8 movies. Yeah, seven.
Yeah, that's what I meant 7. Really outside of this I was
just consider Deathly Hallows Part 1 and 2 just one movie.
I I did consider just watching Part 2, but I for the sake of

(01:26):
this podcast, I did it. When I originally bought the
Deathly Hallows Part 1 and Part 2, I literally like found a new
DVD box that had space for two discs and I cut and I took the
cover screen out of Part 1 and 2and like cut them together to
make them one thing and then putthem in that one box.

(01:49):
Yeah, I mean, I, I remember whenthis movie came out and seeing
Part 1 and then having to wait. I don't think it was a full year
for Part 2 to release, but I do.Yeah, it was a couple of months.
I think like 6 or or seven months, something like that.
But I'm sure we'll get to it throughout our our discussion.

(02:12):
But it definitely feels like a Part 1.
It's hard to just stop and and not watch Part 2, but I do I.
Was like, where's the rest of it?
I was like, they split it. They split it into Part 1 and
Part 2, Yeah. Which unfortunately did start a
trend that. Did.

(02:33):
Hunger Games would go on to do, and I believe Twilight, right?
I think Twilight. To be honest, Harry Potter
started a bad trend in general in many bad trends.
Oh yes, the young adult genre ofbooks and movies.
Well, I mean it for one, it kicked off the the young adult

(02:54):
film franchise or attempts. And then let it right downhill.
Exactly. I mean I remember Hunger Games
attempting to follow suit with Harry Potter and and splitting
the last film essentially kill the franchise for a few years.
I know. I only ever saw the 1st 2

(03:14):
movies. Well, and I I've seen them all,
but I I've only seen the first two in theaters because they
split the last one into actuallymade me didn't go see it in in
theaters and I have never seen any of the Twilight films I'm
I'm pretty sure. I only saw the 1st 2:00.
They did the the same. I was trying to date a girl.

(03:37):
The things we do for, for, for love, Yeah.
The things we do for other things.
We could go on and on, but we could.
Let's, let's get into it. Let's discuss Deathly Hallows
Part 1. All right, Deathly Hallows Part
1 released November 19th, 2010, PG 13.

(03:59):
So you know it's hardcore. According to Raw Tomatoes, the
tomato meter was 76% and it was considered fresh and 85% popcorn
meter. Their description of it is.
Without the guidance and protection of their professors,
Harry, Ron, and Hermione begin amission to destroy the
Horcruxes, the sources of Voldemort's immortality.

(04:21):
Though they must rely and one another more than ever, Dark
forces threatened to tear them apart.
Voldemort Death Eaters have seized control of the Ministry
of Magic and Hogwarts, and they are searching for Harry even as
he and his friends prepare for the ultimate showdown.
The ultimate showdown that is not in this movie.
No, no, they failed to mention that part.

(04:43):
And the critics consensus was itcan't help but feel like the
prelude it is. But Deathly Hallows Part 1 is a
beautifully filmed, emotionally satisfying penultimate
installment for the Harry Potterseries.
That's accurate. I do I I will say I don't think,
I don't think it's as beautifully shot as 1/2 Blood

(05:06):
Prince was. I think half Blood Prince maybe
on a smaller scale, but this wasdefinitely heavy like location
shooting. They were just stuck in Hogwarts
the entire time. Which was also jarring.
I mean, obviously I, I knew thatgoing into it, but kind of
looking at it in a different light, the closest you get is

(05:30):
the the Hogwarts Express scene where you have, you know, a
brief glimpse of Neville. Being.
Badass. Yeah, standing up to the Death
Eaters. But that says, yeah, that's as
close as we get to Hogwarts, I guess, outside of Tumbledore's
tomb at the very end. And.
Speaking of looking at this movie in a light, my biggest

(05:54):
complaint for this movie was howdark it was and how I could not
make out half of what was going on.
Really. I don't know if maybe it was my
tvi turned the brightness up OK.There were so many times that
the scene was so dark. It was like watching The Batman
with Robert Pattinson. OK, that's a a good comparison.

(06:14):
I mean, there, there are a lot of night scenes and then I would
say the the end at Malfoy Manor.Is very dark.
Yeah, so I I see where you were coming from.
I didn't quite have the same problem.
So maybe it is ATV thing I'm. Not sure these days.
But I, I don't really do it withfilm so much, but I, I'm certain

(06:36):
video games I do adjust the brightness because I I have that
issue too, so. Oh yeah, I'm that person that
that there's always like, it's like adjust the brightness until
you can barely see the thing. I was like, I don't think I
will. Yeah, No, thank you.
Yeah, yeah, I'm at, I'm at that age.
But let's dive into this Part 1 of the Deathly Hallows.

(06:59):
So we start with the leaving of the Dursleys, which is pretty
basic, nothing special. But there is a deleted scene
that I'm actually glad they deleted it where there's really
yes, because the you know what I'm talking about, right?
Yes, yeah. Conversation between him and
Petunia. Yeah.

(07:19):
And it's it's an argument a lot of people think it should have
been. I don't think it's been, I don't
think it should have been because she's all up.
She's all up in his face. Like, you know, I lost a sister
and I was like, honey, you lost that sister well before she
died, and that was her fault. Agree.
I mean it kind of falls in the same category with with Snape.

(07:41):
It doesn't give them the right or excuse them for acting the
way they've been acting, but I do wish there was some more
closure. Interaction but in.
General Yeah, yeah. But I, I, you know, yeah.
Like I would have loved if they showed it where like I think
Dudley goes and shakes Harry's hand before they leave.

(08:05):
Like I would have loved that. Yeah, from the books.
And then once the Dursleys are gone, we go into the Seven
Potters where they introduce, they reintroduce Fleur Delicor.
Yeah, this is definitely where it kind of came into if I didn't
read the books. Exactly.
Oh. Also, this is our this is our

(08:27):
first image of the mirror that Harry has that if you are not
reading the books you have no idea why he's looking at a
broken mirror most of the movie.Yeah, yeah.
Which also very important. Yeah.
Like why couldn't they have that, like, kept that in from
Order of the Phoenix? Like there's no reason.

(08:48):
All line of exposition of BT dubs.
Here's a wizard's cell phone that you can use to reach me.
Or even adding the scene as likea a flashback at some point
where there was half blood prints or in one of the openings

(09:09):
for Deathly Hallows. Like it could have easily have
been a just a quick, you know. Or they could, or they could
have just thrown a line in thereafter he meets up with Ron and
Hermione when one of them just asked, hey, Harry, what's that
you got there? And he's like, oh, it's a magic
mirror Sirius gave me to contacthim, but it's broken now.
I just look at it to remember him by.

(09:30):
We're deep into the If you're a movie fan, go fuck yourself.
Yeah, if you're a movie and you have no idea what's going on.
So anyway, we get to the 7 Potters.
Fleur de la Cur is reintroduced for whatever reason, because we
don't know. I mean, they they're pretty
quick about establishing that Fleur Delacour and Bill Weasley,

(09:51):
which is also, this is his firstintroduction as well, played by
Dom Hall Gleason, which is Brendan Gleeson.
Nephew. I thought it was her son.
No, You're. Yeah, you might be right.
Might be. Yeah.
Some relation well, I you know they have to because they have
the whole wedding scenes they. Have to.

(10:12):
They have to establish that. You got to bring all these
characters back. Could have just had a wedding
and never say who's getting married.
I mean, they might as well at atthis point.
It I think would have had a a similar effect.
I mean, I do wonder if you if you never read the books, like
would you have recognized some of these characters?

(10:34):
Well, Kingsley Shaka Bolt, you remember from the 5th, from the
5th movie. Well, I mean like more so like
for a delicate or. Like a delicate Yeah, you'd
probably have to be paying attention to recognize.
Her, yeah, you know, I, I, I know she's a pretty big part in
Goblet of Fire, but just from the, the casual movie goers,
yeah, I just, yeah. And who else?

(10:58):
We also introduced Mundungus Fletcher who I got confused for
Daedalus Diggle. Honest mistake.
Honest mistake. Who else showed up in that?
Of course. Ron.
Hermione. Yeah, I mean the weasel twins,
Twins, Tonks and. Lupin, who they still have not

(11:18):
referred to as Tonks. You mean nympho?
Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Just yeah.
Heard her name once. Nymphedora.
But not Tonks. Yeah.
I don't know. I'll have to.
I wonder if I can like look up the script.
And do 9 search. They've yet to call her Tonks.
Yeah. And she a very brief moment

(11:40):
where they try to set up that she wants to, I guess, announce
that her and and Lupin are gonnahave a Prego.
Yeah, kind of pop out a little. Little werewolf baby.
But I do like that moment of MadEye just barging in and being
like, you don't have time for this, like.
And then passing around his flask with Polly juice potion

(12:05):
and everyone becomes Harry Potter.
It's a funny little scene. As Fleur Delacour is like don't
look at me, be a hideous. Thanks Fleur.
And then the, the, you know, Fred and George with their
little, we're identical. I, I do enjoy in that scene,
especially, you know, a little comedic beat before all hell

(12:29):
breaks. Yeah.
Yeah, so then everyone turns into Harry Potter, and then they
try to make their escape from from #4 Privet Dr. which the
deaf leaders are immediately on them as soon as they leave.
Yeah, does not go well. Does not go well.

(12:50):
Hedwig, as much as we want to love Hedwig, was the narc And
the reason it doesn't go well? Yeah, because Hedwig's the one
that gives Harry away as being the real Harry.
Yeah, I feel like there could have been just a better way to
handle that. I mean, I know.
At least she went down fighting.It's written in the book.

(13:10):
I think she's still in her cage.No, because she flies to to take
the spell. I think it's I.
Thought she was still in the cage 'cause she dies in the in
the cart. No, it's it's 'cause she she
dodges the OR not dodges, but she takes the hit for the the
spell. She takes the hit but I'm but

(13:32):
I'm pretty sure she lands in thecart with Harry.
Oh yeah, I don't. I don't.
Remember, Yeah, I just, I remember them describing her
lifeless body. So Harry and Hagrid, who he was
riding with, make it to the Burrows.
Hagrid looked extremely thick onthat bike by the way.
Did enjoy like the size of him on this this the motorbike.

(13:59):
It was seriously motorbike, if you didn't know that from
watching the movies. It was serious as a motorbike,
so you know. Does he mention that in the
movies? Not once.
Oh, I thought he, I thought it's, I know it's mentioned in
the book that he borrows Sirius Black's motorcycle, but for some
reason I thought it was a line in the film.

(14:19):
Not in the movies, not once did they mention it.
OK, I guess it doesn't really matter.
Another another one of Sirius items that goes unnamed.
Yeah. Then everyone else starts to
arrive at the Burroughs, which I'm not sure why the Burroughs
was chosen as like the secret hiding place, especially since

(14:40):
in the Six movie they specifically attacked the
Burroughs. Yep.
I mean, that's not in the books.It's but.
I think probably one of the mosthated scenes in the movie.
People are constantly discussinghow stupid it is and I
completely agree. Well it's mainly because it
happens and then they're just back in the Burrough like it.

(15:04):
It doesn't, It happens for no reason.
You know, the Burrow explodes and there's two scenes later
they're they're back at the Burrow.
They. Have magic to fix everything.
Not true. I mean, you can blame it on on
magic and then, yeah, it's, I mean, Harry has been known to go

(15:25):
back there and has a connection with the Weasleys.
And, and like, they know where it is, obviously.
So it really doesn't make a lot of sense to go back to the
Burroughs. When I thought about this too,
with the scene with the new Minister of Magic, Rufus
Scrimgeor, that he's able to go and then you invite all the

(15:49):
people for the wedding. It in the books Harry is
disguised at the wedding as likean unknown measly relative, so
it makes a little more sense. But in the movie they talk about
how they have all these protections and then.
And then there's clearly ours, like standing guard around.
Us so it's it's an Harry Potter in the film is just Harry Potter

(16:11):
at a wedding. So yeah, it doesn't.
Yeah, try not to think about it.Too much, Don't think about it
or it falls apart. Yeah, yeah.
So they arrive and we find out that George.
George, right? Couldn't tell ya, I always get
him confused. Pretty sure it's George that
loses his ear and comes out witha great joke in my opinion.
Is it? Yes, it is out.

(16:33):
Of all the ear related jokes. All the ear.
Yes, yes, he's a holy. He's holy.
It's like watching. Oh my God, what's that movie
called? Kevin Smith.
Kevin Smith's movie. Dogma.
Dogma. It's like watching Dogma and
he's holy bartender. Oh yeah, yeah, that's a good
lie. But it it small correction, it

(16:54):
is Fred who it's Fred eventuallydies.
George is the one with the year.So George loses the year.
So then Fred's the one who dies.Yes, OK, got it.
And then we find out Madai died,which in the books they say that
he like, died fighting Baltimore, which is something I

(17:15):
would have loved to have seen inthe movie.
Yeah, but we're, I mean, I get it.
We're following Harry's perspective and Harry's
immediately taken away, so it makes sense.
Still. I do agree.
There are other scenes that aren't from Harry's perspective.
They could have shown a duel between the most bad ass wizard

(17:36):
alive and Voldemort. Hey, that's what we have the the
series for, to milk the franchise fingers.
Crossed. I would hope so.
I would hope we get some expanded seeds, yeah.
But in this they just say that he died.
They don't say. Who throwaway line?
Yeah, baddest, baddest Wizard ofall.

(17:57):
And he's just like, yeah, he died BT dubs, which I was sad
about that. Oh yeah, I mean, I remember
reading the books and being like, no, I mean, we had an
episode on on Matt I Moody. You can go back and listen to
it. But at least for me, and I know
you too, one of our favorite characters.
So it, it definitely sucked, butit's kind of you need characters

(18:20):
like that to to you know, and I do like how horror his story
plays out with, you know, his eye being taken by umbrage and
and I like that his there's kindof some continuation of
obviously it's more expanded in the books than it is the film.
Miss that? But he does get a, at least in

(18:44):
the books. Harry, I think, buries the eye
in one of the locations that they're, you know, they go to.
Yeah, I do remember the I do remember the eyes seeing the eye
in the movie now. Yeah, but I didn't make that
connection. OK.
Anyway, so we move on from the sadness of Mad Eye's death to

(19:04):
preparations for the wedding. Harry and Jenny have a make out
session, interrupted by George, who if you'll notice, puts his
toothbrush in his ear hole, which I thought was pretty
funny. Yes.
Yeah, it was funny, but at the same time a little disturbing.
I mean, if I had a new hole to put things in, I'd be I'd be
taking advantage of that too, OK?

(19:27):
Like any time I'd be paying withcash at a register, I'd be like,
hold on. I mean, especially when magic's
involved. Yeah, exactly.
Which there's no spell or potionto regrow an ear.
I mean, you would think. Yeah, you would think.
Maybe there was an illusion spell like similar to worm tail

(19:49):
having a silver hand, but I don't really know.
That's definitely because in this movie alone, there's a lot
of instances where how come somemagic potions work but some
don't. What's the extent of of injury
that can be fixed? It's yeah, the more you think

(20:13):
about it. Yeah, just don't think about it.
Yeah, just enjoy the ride. We go to, so we go to the
wedding of Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour, who there's no
explanation of how they actuallymet, which Bill worked at the
banks, Correct. Bill Charlie worked with Dragons

(20:36):
and Bill worked at Gringotts doing something correct.
Yeah. Yeah, 'cause Charlie was the
cool one. Yeah, who's never?
So I mean, all of that was cut from clearly in the movie, they
made the connection during Goblet of Fire through the
Triwizarding Tournament. But because, you know, all those

(20:59):
minor subplots were were cut from Goblet of Fire, along with
plenty of other stuff. Yeah.
It's it's yeah. Just don't think about it.
Don't think about it. Well, at this wedding we meet
Elfius Doge, who honestly don't even remember who he was at this

(21:21):
point. Who knew?
Yeah, knew Dumbledore. He was, I guess.
Like a long time friend. Or associate.
It's kind of debatable. Yeah, who the The newspaper.
The newspaper has been putting out information about Rita
Skeeter's new book, Dumbledore'sSecrets Exposed.

(21:45):
Should have just called it Fantastic Beasts and the Secrets
of Dumbledore. Didn't quite get there yet.
No, this was Yeah, they should have just watched the movie
They. Should have just watched the
movie and people are upset aboutit.
Altheus Doge is upset about it and they talked to another
person who knew Althea Stojan Dalmador.

(22:08):
I don't remember her her name. We were talking about the snake
lady or just the the other person at the wedding.
Other person at the wedding. Oh yeah, yeah, I don't.
Yeah, the other person at the wedding was talking about who
Rita Skeeter got her informationfrom being befilled a Bagshot
writer of Hogwarts history, correct.

(22:29):
Yes, yeah. And then boom, Patronus charm
appears. Who knew how handy Patronus
charms could be? I mean, I felt the same way in
the book, but it was a little because in the movie it's just
like a ball of glowing light. It's not a because in the books

(22:49):
it's it's Kingsley, right? I think it's the one who sends
it and it's his actual Patronus,which I.
Forgot, I don't remember what itwas, but yeah, in the movie it's
just a big ball of light. Yeah, but I do, I do like the, I
do like this scene. I like the the eerie glow, the

(23:09):
way it's like communicated. Yeah, it's very somber.
Yeah, it's Rufus Scrimger has died.
Who? We met Rufus Scrimger briefly
when he brought the last Will and Testament of Dumbledore to
Harry Ronner Hermione, where Harry got his first first snitch
from a Quidditch game. Hermione got a book, of course,

(23:32):
and Ron got a light putter outer, which will be kind of
important later. So the big ball of light says
that Rufus Scimpture is dead andthat the Death Eaters have taken
the Ministry, the Ministry's fallen and that they are coming
to the wedding because apparently they're mad they
didn't get their invites in the mail.

(23:54):
And so they do. They arrive at the wedding and
chaos ensues, and Harry wants tohelp everyone but Lupin's like,
no dude, you got to go. So Ron, Harry and Hermione
operate away into central London, where Hermione reveals
that she's been preparing for this and has all their stuff

(24:17):
packed in her little moleskin pouch.
Makes sense. Yeah, she's a smart one.
She would. She would be ready for it.
And thus begins the true adventure of the Deathly
Hallows. Ron, Hermione, Harry in the shit
on their own. No backup, no professors, no

(24:37):
teachers. Just them.
Against them, against danger. Yeah, yeah, a lot of traveling,
a lot of. Traveling.
A lot of angst built up. Some point Harry's Harry's wand
gets broken and we start to delve into the rules of wands,

(24:59):
just barely. Again, more fleshed out in the
books, but in fairness all of that is thrown into that book.
We don't really hear anything about wand lore prior to Deathly
Hallows. I would say with the exception
of the wand chooses the wizard. Yes.

(25:21):
But for the sake of storytelling, this is all new
information. There are there are there are
rules where wands are concerned,but so they begin by hiding out
at #12 grimal place Serious's old house, where they discover
that the note left at the Horcrux site that Dumbledore and

(25:46):
Harry left left by Rab, they discovered to be Regulus a
Black, Sirius's brother. So with creatures help the house
elf who technically now belongs to Harry.
So we're a little pro slavery here.
Creature, who now technically belongs to Harry because Sirius
left Harry everything in his will, tells them that there was

(26:11):
a Locket. The Locket was there, but
Mundungus Fletcher came into thehouse and stole things because
that's what Mundungus Fletcher does.
So creature is sent to find Mundungus Fletcher and he does,
and he brings them back with therandom help of Dobby.
Yeah, who we haven't seen since Chamber of Secrets, at least in

(26:35):
the films. Again, in the books he is still
pretty relevant throughout some of the the books.
Semi regular. Yeah, yeah.
So you know, again, I would be intrigued from someone who was
just watching the movies. I'm sure would remember him
hopefully considering you know the the impact and being like

(27:00):
the one and only appearance of ahouse elf for quite a bit.
Yeah, but never seen. Hogwarts house elves.
No. But so Dobby randomly helps
creature bring Mundungus back to#12 Grimwald Place, and
Mundungus reveals that he did have the Locket, but someone

(27:21):
took it from him, a Ministry official took it from him, and
that Ministry official was none other than Dolores Jane on
Bridge, who you'll unfortunatelyremember from Order of the
Phoenix. She's now gone full Death Eater
side, no pretense. I see.

(27:44):
I I don't think I'm trying to remember because she's not a
Death Eater. She's not a Death Eater, but
she's full on board this new fascist regime.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, the death. Eaters are running and
perpetuating the lies that mud, that half or muggle born Wizards

(28:05):
can't be, can't have magic. Yeah, and, you know,
unfortunately, this is one of those moments felt a little too
much too real with everything going on you.
Know if you're watching this movie and you're not getting the
message, you should try harder. Yeah.

(28:27):
Because some people aren't getting the message.
No. But anyway, so they so the trio
comes up with a plan to break into the Ministry with use of
Polyjuice Potion. They get into the ministry and
of course immediately things go awry.
They get separated and Harry andHermione end up tracking Umbrage

(28:52):
down in the courtroom levels of the Ministry where Dolores where
Umbridge is holding court over amuggle born witch and
perpetuating the lie that she stole her wand.

(29:13):
That she didn't receive her wandjust like everyone else did, but
she stole her wand from another witch.
Because obviously if you're muggle born you don't actually
have magic. Oh boy, the comparisons.
And this before all of this shithappened anyway.
Yeah, yeah, and and current opinions of the person who wrote

(29:36):
this story, so. There is one moment where
Hermione is in the elevator withumbrage and they're alone.
And my thought is like, why don't you just evade A cadaver
her right there, right then and there.
So many problems would have beensolved.
Yeah, but I think that, I mean they all needed to to be

(29:56):
together, you know to. I'm just saying.
Yeah, I I get it, you know? I'm just saying it's a war
they're fighting, they need to fight, so they steal.
So they end up stealing the the necklace from Umbridge and then
racing out of the Ministry of Magic.
And as they operate, things go alittle topsy turvy and Ron gets

(30:18):
splintched. Yeah, which I've never, I'm not
really clear on what that actually what actually happens
when you get splenched. There's a couple of scenes in
the books where they're actuallylearning to operate in the
books, and it's expressed the difficulties of performing this

(30:42):
type of magic. And people do lose limbs or can
lose limbs or, you know, if you don't do it properly, bad things
can happen. So the reason it happens is
because in the movie. A death leader grabs on to them

(31:03):
as they as they operate. Yeah, but it's specifically I
think he grabs on to Ron and because they're connected,
essentially the magic is going wrong.
So in in theory like a part of Ron got disconnected through the

(31:25):
transportation. Like a chunk of chopped.
Off exactly. And the movie it's.
It's a pretty big cut on like his.
Yeah, but I think in in the books, I I do think it is like a
chunk of his arm is is missing, which you would assume is the
part that the depth Eater grabbed.

(31:45):
Yeah, but that's, you know, not in the movie because all of
those scenes were, I think in Order of the Phoenix, I want to
say is is when they were learning how to operate and and
things like that. All of that was I do not
remember. Yeah, it is.
It is somewhat set up in in the books themselves.

(32:07):
Yeah, so Ron gets splenched and he's hurt, but they have a
Horcrux. They finally got a Horcrux, or
they found their first Horcrux and now they need to figure out
how to destroy it, which they can't figure out.
So they instead, and I don't know why this was a good idea,
so they decide they're going to take turns wearing the necklace.

(32:30):
Yeah, I didn't get that either. I.
Mean put it in the bag exactly or shove it up your butt but
hide it. In there probably have a a a
greater effect on them, but no II remember reading the book and
being like, it doesn't make sense for them to have to wear

(32:52):
it, especially if it's affectingthem.
It was very, you know, Lord of the Rings if.
Which maybe, maybe the maybe theFellowship of the Ring should
have taken turns wearing the ring.
Well, there's reasons that couldn't be done, but it it

(33:13):
doesn't in the setup with the horror Crocs.
I don't, I don't get it. I don't.
Really understand bad idea but they're 17 year olds, they never
have a good ideas so the Locket starts affecting their morale
and makes them all very pissy with each other.

(33:34):
Mostly Ron. Well, I mean Harry too.
Harry definitely was was in a mood, more so than usual.
Yeah. But when Ron's wearing it, he
does get upset that he feels like they're leaving him out of
things and just ignoring him, and that Hermione actually likes

(33:56):
Harry more than him and has throws A tantrum and then he
leaves. Thus starts the official angst
party for this part for this portion of the film, and Harry
and Hermione do a little awkwarddance.
Yeah, it is an awkward scene. A lot of people like that scene.
An awkward scene, but I understand it like I understand

(34:19):
why they did it. I mean, I, I, I've come around a
little bit. I wouldn't say I I full, I love
it. I just like the song.
Yeah, that's a neat little song.So without any more leads to go
on, they decide that they want to.
Well, Harry decides that he wants to go to Godrick's Hollow
because that's where his parentslived.

(34:44):
That's where Dumbledore lived atone point when he was younger.
So he wants to go to Godrick's Hollow.
He also wants to find Bethilda Bagshot to find out what she
knows about Dumbledore. So they go to Godrick's Hollow
and find out that it's Christmasand they meet Bethilda Bagshot,
who doesn't say a word but brings them to her house and in

(35:07):
very creepy fashion they discover that she's actually
being controlled by New Guinea, the snake, which I never really
understood. I didn't either, to be honest,
even in the book. Even in the book, even in the
book, it was like, why? Why did this happen?
Why was this a thing? Because I think even in the
book, like Nagini is inside of her.

(35:30):
Like essentially she's a meat puppet.
Like if can. Nagini do that.
I mean, is I we can just chalk it up to dark magic?
Yeah, she she is a witch. New Guinea is a witch of.
Course. As as we saw in Fantastic Beasts

(35:52):
and the Crimes of Grundelwald. Let's pretend that.
Pretend that those. Movies.
Yeah, those movies haven't happened yet.
But yeah, so and so New Guinea tries to or attacks them, and
Harry and Hermione end up operating away.
I mean, I do appreciate the scene of Harry Potter beating a

(36:18):
snake over the head with a brick.
That is a, an actual scene in this film because again, you
know, he that fighting a snake, he drops his wand and blah,
blah, blah. But he goes, he's physical.
I I like it. I mean, how else are you going
to attack a snake? Yeah, got to do something, yeah.

(36:42):
So they end up escaping the Guinea and getting back to a new
place to set up their their camp.
And then one night, 1 cold nightin the Forest of Dean.
I remember that they were in theForest of Dean, which I'm pretty
sure is a real place. Yes.

(37:03):
Yeah. One night when Harry is keeping
watch, he sees a doe. A doe, a female deer, a patronus
of a doe, and he follows it to alake, a frozen overlake, where
he looks into the lake and he sees none other than the Sword

(37:26):
of Godry Gryffindor, which was considered lost.
Not suspicious at all. Not suspicious, not suspicious
at all. And can we can we talk about
spoilers for this scene? Sure.
OK, spoiler alert guys, if you have not seen the next movie or

(37:46):
read the books, spoiler alert. I'll give you an account of
3123. OK, so we know that Snape was
the one who sent the Patronus doe to help Harry find the Sword
of Godreick Gryffindor at the bottom of a frozen fucking lake.

(38:07):
Wow, I feel like it's still Snape being Snape.
And being a total Dick. Like I'm going to help you I'm.
Going to help you, but I'm goingto make sure you almost die
doing it. I mean I forget does I can't
remember in the book but even inthe film does he does Harry try
magic first? He tried.
I think he tried Akio's sword. Oh, OK, OK, I couldn't remember.

(38:30):
I just know he dives in but the Locket like once he gets yeah.
You're the sword, I guess. Yeah.
So yeah, Harry dives in to get the sword, but the Locket starts
to strangle him, maybe sensing that the sword is like one of
the few things I could destroy it.
Then Ron arrives and saves Harryand grabs the sword.

(38:55):
And then they quickly make up they bro hug it out.
Yeah. And then they decide to destroy
the the Horcrux together. And Harry for just now thought
of the thought of the plan to use parcel tongue to open the
Locket. And Ron hits.

(39:15):
I don't know, like does the Locket need to be open?
I don't know when. You think about it like does it?
I mean as an as an object, I feel like it would be at its
weakest open, so maybe that was their thinking.
Maybe, yeah. But the use of the sword.
But before he destroys it, he sees a pretty naughty scene

(39:38):
between Harry and Hermione, which if you have a crush on
Emma Watson, this is the best scene of the series for you.
Sorry, Emma. Yeah, her.
CG like it is. Somewhat nude scene.
What nude? Scene.
It's, you know, it's all I mean,same with Daniel Radcliffe, you

(39:59):
know, if you have a crush on him.
He at this point he's done so many like nude or partial nude
scenes and stuff like you can just Google it.
No, I yeah, he was in that Broadway.
Yeah. But I forget the name of the
play. Horns or something?
He was no, he was the Broadway was something about horses.

(40:20):
I don't know, but he yeah go, you know, Google it.
Google it if you want to see him.
If you want to see him naked, Daniel Radcliffe.
Yeah, hanging dog. Finally, finally handling his
wand because he doesn't do it inthis movie.
No. God, we're dirty people.

(40:40):
So they destroy the Horcrux. And then in my particularly
favorite scene of the movie, Ronand Harry make their way back to
the camp, and Hermione's reaction to Ron is hitting him
repeatedly and then asking Harryfor her wand, who Harry was
borrowing her wand at the time, and Harry's back and was like, I
don't know where it is. Yeah, that was my personal
favorite scene. Cute little moment.

(41:02):
Yeah. And then Ron tells the story
that he regretted leaving as soon as he did, and that one
night he heard Hermione's voice in the distance and used the
putter outer that Dumbledore left him, and a ball of light

(41:22):
went into his heart and he knew where to operate to find his
friends. Harry had the thankful.
Thankfully for this movie. Harry had the same exact
reaction to that. I I don't get it.
It doesn't make sense. It's.
I didn't. Get it in the book.
I don't get it in the movie. I don't I cause the putter outer

(41:48):
is an invention that Dumbledore made like it's not a common
magical item from our understanding.
Yeah, it's it's one-of-a-kind. Dumbledore made it as a magical
device and I don't understand. Maybe he made it when he was

(42:09):
dating Grindelwald and so so so so the ball of light would come
to him and tell him where Grindelwald was.
I just like you you talk about Imean, this is and I will say as
a fan of the books and reading the books, I felt the same way.
It just it's so lazy. It's awkward.

(42:30):
It doesn't yeah. It just doesn't make doesn't
make sense. I feel like there's something
that like I'm not against Dumbledore given Ron the putter
outer, but I there could have just been another reason a
better way. Like maybe the last thing Bron

(42:52):
did with it was put out like 1 of Hermione's magic flames and
he, you know, flicked it and theflame led the way back for like
something. That would be better, but that
was better. The whole like heart that I
don't, yeah. It was it it it makes you gag.

(43:15):
But I do appreciate, like you said, Harry reacts from the
story, you know, and makes a quip that Oh yeah, you should
definitely go. Keep telling.
Keep telling that story. Yeah, which is a funny moment,
but oh God. Yeah, Then for some reason, Ron
took a wand from one of the snatchers.
Oh, yeah, just yeah. Well, you got to have the throw

(43:37):
away. Oh, I got this last week from a
snatcher and then he's which doesn't make sense to me, but
he's like don't tell Hermione. But snatchers are a bit dumb or
I don't. Yeah, I don't know.
But this whole like 5 minutes ofthis.
But then but then he tries to use the his the new wand on the
flame and it like goes insane that that was another moment I

(44:01):
really enjoyed. Yeah, yeah.
So the trio are back together somewhat happily, and they start
to discover a symbol in the bookthat Dumbledore left Hermione
the Beetle and the Tales of the Beetle and Bard, which I have

(44:24):
not read. And oh, you haven't.
I haven't, and at this point I don't really want to.
It's just a series of of short stories of.
I know I just literally want to write, want to read anything
else from you know who at this point.
Like the Harry Potter series is fine, like I'll reread that, but
I don't want to read anything else from her.

(44:45):
Oh, he does have new series. Yeah, yeah, I mean, I Tales of
Beetle the Bard was the like next thing that came out after
Harry Potter. So I remember like it was a
super huge deal. I've owned a couple of copies
the. Copies.
I wish I'd read it when it came out because I'd feel differently

(45:06):
than I do now, but. Yeah, I understand it.
I might save it for a future episode because I've I've read
it so. Yeah, you can tell me about it.
Sure. So anyway, they start to notice
a symbol that was left in the book is the same symbol that
Alvis Dumbledore used to sign his letters.
It a triangle with a circle and a line through it, which is the

(45:29):
same symbol that Harry noticed Mr. Lovegood wearing at the
wedding. Luna Lovegood's father,
brilliantly, brilliantly played by an actor who I don't think
gets enough credit for being a good actor.
And I'm Bryce Ivins. Yes.

(45:50):
Rhys Ivins. Rhys Ivins.
Rhys Ivins. I always rice Ivins.
It could be either 1, I don't know.
I've always said Rhys Simons. Yeah, we butcher a lot, but no,
I always. I fell in love with him.
Yeah, he was a good. Little Nicky, I love him from
the Replacements or or even Notting Hill.

(46:15):
Yeah, he's, he's a, he's never, I think like leading man, but
he's always, he's always great. And whenever he pops.
Up well, for the longest time heonly played one character.
He played the comedic relief drunk friend.
OK, then he started playing other roles, which was great.
But anyway, so Rhys Ivins. So they travel to miss the Luna

(46:42):
Lovegood's house, which is apparently only a valley over
from the borough. Yes, they are essentially
neighbors just over the hill. So you know they're hiding from
the Death Eaters and now they'renext door to the borough.
I think that's part of the part of the danger of going to see
him, yeah. And they talked to him and they
asked them ask him about the thesymbol and he explains to them

(47:07):
that it's the sign of the Deathly Hallows, which Ron knows
about but Harry and Hermione don't, which is a big thing for
Ron to have read a book that Hermione hadn't read yet.
I don't think it's so much Oh yeah, 'cause yeah, yeah, yeah,
you're right. The The Tale of the Three

(47:29):
Brothers. Oh, the three brothers.
But I, I like it. I like that it's more of, you
know, it's probably something that's like not super well known
in the wizarding world, but maybe like the older wizarding
families, well known, like. 'Cause it seems like a bedtime
story. I mean, that's essentially what

(47:52):
all of the stories in in that book are, because there's like
four or five stories in the Tales of Beetle the Bard, and
that's one of them. And then Ron mentions another,
the rabbity and the cackling stump.
So yeah, they they are essentially, you know, little

(48:14):
children like childhood fairy tales.
So at this point Hermione startsto read the Tale of the Three
Brothers and in probably the most beautiful, the most
beautiful shot part of the moviein my opinion, the tale of the
three Brothers, how they did it,how they animated it.

(48:35):
Yeah. And it's, it's, I mean, across
the. Yeah, across the films as a
whole, you don't see anything like that.
And it makes sense, you know, you don't want just to have a
scene of Emma Watson reading a story in in real time.
Yeah, but doing it animated likethat is pretty cool.

(48:55):
It was very puppity and I remember at the time everyone
loved it. Very shadow puppity puppet.
Puppet. Puppet.
Yeah, it had a little good. I agree.
So then they discover that Luna is not there because she was
taken by the Death Eaters and the Snatchers because of what

(49:21):
Mr. Lovegood was printing in TheQuibbler, his magazine of
conspiracy theories. Which my understanding no one
takes seriously. So it is kind of surprising
that, yeah, I guess it has Voldemort's attention.
I don't. I mean, I don't find it that
surprising. I mean, you post something bad
about you know who and not not not this you know who, but the

(49:45):
other you know who the orange you know who.
Like there's a lot of you know who's.
There's a lot of you know who's today, but you know, if some
small paper posted something about the orange you know who,
he'd lock it down. He'd be like, true.
He'd be like, no, be be nice to me.
We're keeping that end. Sure.

(50:08):
So they find out that he called the Death Eaters to come get
them to come get Harry, hoping that it'll hoping that in an
exchange they'll give Luna back,which of course they won't.
No, but I mean I get it. Yeah, no, like.
He's pretty desperate. He's desperate.

(50:30):
Like, I'm not saying, you know, he did bad.
He is doing what he feels he needs to do as a father.
Yeah. But they escaped the Death
Eaters and they end up operatingback to their camp, which is
right in the middle of a group of ice.
I'm sorry, Snatchers and slip ofthe tongue.

(50:53):
Slip of the tongue, sorry, Freudian slip.
And then they have to run from the snatchers, which they're not
going to make it so Hermione curses Harry's face so they
don't recognize them, even though it doesn't erase the
scar. So they see the scar.
Well, it it 'cause I thought about that too, but in a few

(51:16):
scenes they do like lift up his hair and the scar is it's not
quite prominent here. But it's.
Still there? Like there's a scar.
Yeah, yeah. So on that suspicion, they take
them not to the Ministry, they take them to Malfoy Manor, which
is apparently the home base for Voldemort these days.

(51:39):
Yeah. And Bellatrix and Lucius and
Malfour are arguing on trying toidentify Harry.
And then they talk. They discover that one of the
snatchers has a sort of Gryffindor and Bellatrix starts
to get really angry and starts demanding to know where they got

(52:01):
it and sends Harry and Ron down into the dungeon so she can
question Hermione about where she got the sword because it's
supposed to be in Bellatrix's vault at Gringotts.
So down in down in the dungeons,Harry and Ron are reunited with
Luna Lovegood and Ollivander of Ollivander's wands and Grip

(52:28):
Hook, a goblin from Gringotts played by by Warrick Davis.
And of course Ian Holm is reprising his role as
Ollivander, but you don't reallysee him much in this scene.
The scenes kind of chaotic in general.

(52:48):
Yeah, yeah. So they come up with a plan.
There's like, we have to go and save Hermione because Bellatrix
is a psychopath and is torturingHermione by carving the word mud
blood into her arm with a knife.Not magic, just pure, pure
brutality. So, yeah, I, it, it's, it's a

(53:09):
pretty intense scene. I, I, it's graphic.
I have to give props to Emma Watson that like that screen she
does is it's it's. I'm a silence after after tense.
Yeah, it's an intense moment. So they come up with this.

(53:30):
So for some reason he's keeping the broken mirror.
That is that was a way to contact Snape.
Sorry, serious in his sock. Yeah, they didn't search them.
They didn't. Search them.

(53:51):
Who still has the put outer too?Who sells the putter outer?
So just just bad at bad at searching things in general,
Yeah, They found the Sword of Gryffindor, Yeah.
Yeah. So he looks into the mirror and
he thinks he sees a face. So he says, please help us, that

(54:13):
we're in mouth, the dungeon, theMouthful Manor.
And then moments later, poof, Dobby appears.
And he's there to save Harry Potter.
So Dobby tells them to, you know, meet them at the top of
the staircase in like, 10 seconds.
Meanwhile, Wormtail comes downstairs into the dungeon and

(54:40):
Dobby appears behind him and zaps him, knocks him
unconscious, which is a huge derailing from the book.
Yeah. 'Cause this is the moment in the
book where Peter Pettigrew actually strangles himself with
his magic hand because he has a life debt to Harry Potter.

(55:03):
And in the film, this is the last time we see Pettigrew.
We don't actually see him in Part 2, I believe.
I don't. Think so, but we also don't see
him die. Yeah.
So in the films it's never really his characters never
really resolved. It doesn't.

(55:24):
Yeah, I. But that would have taken too
much time explaining it in the movie I guess.
Yeah, but you would think for, you know, 'cause they give this
God, I forget his name, his character's name, but the, the
kind of the main snatcher. Yeah, he's the, I don't know,
very Johnny Depp esque. Is very Johnny Depp esque.

(55:48):
Snatcher, you know, they give him a death scene.
He he dies in Part 2. But it it is very strange that
they never really wrap up Peter Pettigrew story in the films.
And it it just, yeah, it's bad. Like they could have just not
had him and had them knock out arandom death eater guard.
Yeah, and save them for. Not even half.

(56:09):
I don't Yeah. For the the person who betrayed
the Potters not really getting tagline in the films.
Yeah, never liked it. Yeah, it, it wasn't great, but
say Levy. So they knock out Pedigrew and
then they're able to get back upstairs where the curse on

(56:29):
Harry's face has started to disappear.
So they can so mouthful. I can definitely tell it's
Harry. And then Harry gets a wand from
somewhere, I don't remember where, and has a duel with Draco
and disarms his wand, which is very important later.
Remember that kids. And then getting all together

(56:54):
and with Dobby's help, they're going to operate away to a place
called Shell Cottage. And as they operate, Belichick
throws a knife towards them and it operates with them.
So they land at they land on thebeach next to a place called
Shell Cottage. And Harry thinks everyone's OK

(57:17):
until he sees Dobby, who the knife stabbed, who was stabbed
by the knife, and he dies in Harry Potter's arms, happily,
because he's with friends. Cue the tears.
It's. Pretty pretty sad scene and sad
well shot. Yeah, great death scene by Toby

(57:38):
Jones. Yeah, yeah.
But hey, you know, we haven't seen Topi for five films, so you
know. And then screen goes black
credits. Does it?
Yeah, you still have the the scene.
Oh, he buries. Dabi, he buries Dabi, and then

(58:01):
you have the scene. Voldemort.
With Voldemort opening. Opening Dumbo's casket and
getting the Elder Wand which waskind of semi important that I
skipped over. But I I do.
Someone did like a meme because you know, the way it's shot is
like Voldemort floating directlyabove Dumbledore.

(58:22):
So someone. Impossible in it.
Yeah, essentially did a beam of like the position that Voldemort
would have to be in for this to make to make sense.
But yeah, so it's kind of sets up the Part 2 and sets up that
Voldemort is unaware of the Horcruxes and he himself going

(58:51):
after the Deathly Hollows. That's the Elder Wand, which is
the most powerful wand in existence.
Supposedly. Yes, thus ends Part 1 of Deathly
Hallows. What do you think?
Well, I'm glad you asked. I mean, it's definitely hard.

(59:15):
I, you know, it's nothing that no one else has said.
It's definitely a Part 1 of an overarching story.
Yeah. So that immediately is tough.
And I think I also think it's unfairly judged because of that.

(59:39):
I at the end of the day, I am glad it was split into two
films. I, I do think the story that
they were trying to tell and, and do tell, I think is more
successful for it above other franchises that did it after.

(01:00:01):
I think it makes sense. I think it needs it.
I think they should have done itfor other films, sure.
Or you know, potentially, you know, do I think this could have
been a 3 1/2 hour movie? It could have maybe yeah.
But I, I am glad that they splitit.

(01:00:22):
So I, I will say I, I would not take points away from that, but
overall, I, I do enjoy the film.I, or I did enjoy the film.
I like the slower pace, but at the same time, there was a lot
happening. I mean, you do have, you know,

(01:00:42):
the, the wedding scene you have,I mean, the opening scene is an
action scene, the wedding scene,the scene at the ministry, the
scenes at Malfoy Manor. So it's definitely not like a
film that I felt like nothing happens, you know, Overall, I'd

(01:01:05):
give it A7 a solid 7II. Going back and watching it, I,
it hasn't really like, my opinion of this, of Part 1
hasn't changed. I think unlike the other films,

(01:01:29):
you know, I, I, it's a Part 1, you know, it is hard to, to
judge the movie as a partial story, but I do think it's well
shot. I I was surprised to see the
budget of this film was $250 million.

(01:01:53):
Most of that I can probably licenses to shoot to different
places. Well, that was my thought was
the amount of locations. I mean, I think it's, it's a
beautifully shot film. I think the story I've, I've
been saying this since Order thePhoenix.
You know, it's, you have to haveread the books at this point.

(01:02:15):
I think if you're just watching the films, you'd be pretty lost,
especially with the Horcruxes, the Deathly Hallows, all of the
wand lore and and stuff like that.
But overall, I think it's an enjoyable film.
There's some things like the Peter Pettigrew, you know, Harry

(01:02:37):
being cursed and not being quiteas recognizable.
Like it could have been done better and, and you know, where
do you end this film? I, I think the death with the,
the death of Dobby makes sense. And I think this is really the

(01:02:58):
point of the film is setting up the theme of the book, which is
Horcruxes or hollows, you know, which one do you go after?
Which we know by the end of thisfilm, Voldemort is going after

(01:03:19):
the death of the Hallows. Harry Potter and company are
just kind of learning about them, but still maintain them as
well. Yeah, that, you know, they still
maintain that they're, they're going after the Horcruxes.
So it's, it's a tricky film, butI, I think from an adaptation
standpoint, it does the best it it can.

(01:03:39):
I think it's better than Prisoner of Azkaban, it's better
than Half blood Prints. But at the same time, you also
have to question why did the other films cut some of the like
the mirror out, Especially with how involved She Who Must Not Be

(01:04:01):
Named is supposedly involved in the storytelling.
So to have things like the mirror cut from the films, Dobby
cut from the films knowing or supposedly knowing that these
things would go on to to play a bigger part.
This film suffers the most from like the sins of the past of the

(01:04:25):
other films. But overall, I, I it's hard not
immediately going into the second movie.
Yeah, but I think it's a good film.
It, it is strange, like not seeing Hogwarts, but that
changes by the next, you know, Part 2, where a good chunk of
the movie strictly takes place in Hogwarts and, and all of

(01:04:49):
that. But I think it's good overall,
you know, so it, it, it's on parwith, I would say the last three
films. You're you're you kind of have
to accept that. You have to read the books to
know what the Hell's going on atthis point.

(01:05:09):
You have to accept the storylines that are cut or the
storylines that suffer because of the other films.
Yeah, I I enjoyed it for what itwas.
What about you? I agree with your statement that
this movie was the best that it could be considering just like

(01:05:32):
you said, you know, bringing things up from the past or
things that were never mentionedand having to bring them up in
this. The locations they shot in were
very pretty. There are a lot of forested
areas and like beach areas and things like that.

(01:05:55):
But I have to say I didn't enjoywatching it.
I I enjoyed it a little more than I did Half Blood Prince,
but not by much. I enjoyed the ministry
escapades. That may have been like my

(01:06:16):
favorite part overall. I felt there because I, I felt
like it turned into like kind ofa fun heist movie.
Yeah. Which I've always enjoyed, which
I've always enjoyed those. I don't know, some people think
they're dumb, but I enjoy them. But there was just also a lot of
scenes that just dragged on and like I said, in half blood

(01:06:38):
prints with just the hormones running amok.
This one was just angst everywhere and I I hated it.
I hated watching it. OK, another thing that just kept
me from really enjoying watchingthis movie was some of the
things that kind of, well, not kind of things that definitely

(01:07:02):
allude to present times and the political and social situations
that we're in. Like whenever, like during the
trial scene, I was fuming in that scene.
Like, I want to reach, I want toreach that screen and punch
umbrage in the face more so thanI've ever want to do before.

(01:07:25):
I don't, I don't like lies. I don't like liars, so that like
that unfortunately kept me from really enjoying it overall.
So if I had to give this movie ascore, I'd have to give it a
6.9. I can't.
I can't justify giving it A7 without giving better Harry

(01:07:47):
Potter movie sevens, and this one just wasn't it for me.
And I'm hoping I'm gonna enjoy the next one more because I feel
like a lot more of what I enjoy about the Harry Potter movies
happens in the next one. This one just wasn't wasn't it
for me. Yeah, I mean, it definitely like

(01:08:08):
especially when you're you're thinking Harry Potter like it's,
there's really, no, it's not very whimsical.
I mean, this, this is definitelythe first film that and and like
you said, you know, comparing itto things that are happening in
the real world, when you you addthat additional layer into it,

(01:08:31):
it does make it tough. But like you said, like you were
saying that you felt this movie was like better than Prisoner of
Azkaban. See, I enjoyed watching Prisoner
of Azkaban. I didn't enjoy watching this
one. Yeah, it's an odd transitional
film. It is, you know, 'cause you, you

(01:08:52):
have, I'm just trying to think of, yeah, a lot of real life
comparisons, but you don't have that, those whimsical moments, I
think to take you out of it thatsome of the other movies have.
You know, when there's those connections you can still point

(01:09:14):
to, you know, whether it's Hogwarts or, you know, Hagrid's
stupid half brother or whatever it may, whatever it may be.
This film lacks a a lot of that.So I, I could see where you're
coming from. I'm not surprised by your
rating. I think you've, you've kind of

(01:09:35):
alluded to your thoughts on on this film.
But yeah, I guess we'll, we'll see what Part 2's inclusion
brings to the table. I do know Part 2 will be our
30th episode I think. We've done 30 episodes.

(01:09:57):
I'll have to because this is 29.I'm almost positive I'll edit
this out if it's it's not correct, but I'm pretty sure
this is our 29th episode. 30 would be Part 2, which is a yeah
is I think would be at least in my thought process would be a

(01:10:22):
nice split into the future of this podcast 'cause you know
right now we're in what's technically logged is as season
1 so you know, I don't I don't know what the difference the.
Next one be our season finale. I think so.
I, I think on, on paper or how everything's logged digitally

(01:10:48):
through Spotify and, and things like that.
I think I'm going to think of some interesting things.
But I think this would be a nicebutton to be the end of season 1
season finale, as you said, of the good, the bad and the boy
after discussing Part 2. And then, you know, we'll, we'll

(01:11:09):
see where we go after this. The Good, the Bad and the Boy is
