tons of other stuff that you can check out. Really
really cool band. I guess you can classify him as

(06:55):
a pop punk band, but they kind of go outside
of those lines. And yeah, really really cool band. And

for some new tunes, maybe some stuff you haven't heard about,
checking out see what you just think. But we're going
to kick off the pop culture talk with now watching Now,
I'd like to see what the guests and I have
been watching, whether it's TV movies in the theaters, at home,
new old. So, Chris, what have you been watching.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
A few things? I just finished the Penguin series.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
Oh okay, hell yeah, really.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
Good, really good. And then I have been I have
a seven year old son, so recently got him in
the dragon Ball Z so oh yeah, I've been. I
was a huge dragon Ball kid and I haven't really
like watched it, you know, in order, in a long time.
But so we're in the Android saga right now and
it's kind of cool going back being older, kind of

(08:00):
taking in stuff that I didn't remember, you know. So
that's been fun. We started watching a lot of kids shows.
Really been watching Knuckles the Sonic.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
So what do you think about that show?

Speaker 2 (08:10):
It's it's I mean, it's good so far. You know,
it's it's more for him than for me. So but yeah,
I've been in that most mostly big in the dragon
Ball and like said, I just finished Penguin, so kind
of looking for like a new emotionally intense, depressing show
to dive into.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
So, boy, do I have a list for you.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
Let's let me hear it.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
Number one. I'll just start off with the show that
probably ever you've heard so many times because it's just
about to end its second season. That's Separence. Yeah, it's
the biggest show in TV right now. It is, like,
there's no it's surpassed. Ted Lasso is the most watched
Apple TV show in only two seasons, and it wasn't
even when the whole second season was out compared to

(08:51):
three seasons of ted Lasso, if that is any barometer
for you. And it's just I truly think it's going
to go down as one of the best of all time.
Like I just don't see. There's been no news of
season three, which for me feels so strange because Ben
Stillers kind of talked about how it won't take as

(09:11):
long for in between season and season two because there
was mostly the big strike happened. Both the big strikes
happened while they were in production of season two, which
obviously put a massive detriment on making that show being
able to be finished, so he's already said that the
wait for season three is going to be less, pretty
much confirming a season three, he said, they've started on

(09:33):
the Raiders room, but Apple TV as an entity has
not gone. Season three is coming, which I don't know
if they're waiting for the finale as we're recording this.
The finale is airing tonight, so I don't know that's
what they're waiting for. But if you want, and do
you know the premise of the show.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
I feel like my brothers told me about it, But
why don't you go ahead and recap it?

Speaker 1 (09:50):
Okay, if you want so? Yeah, yeah. Basically, the main
premise of the show is that there is a procedure
called severance in this world where when you're at work,
what's happening at work. Where you're at home, you only
know what's happening at home. Those two lives are completely
separated from you. But of course, basically the whole show
is a massive commentary on corporations and what they do

(10:15):
to control you as an employee, and not even as
just an employee, just control you and your life. And
as things go along, you know, things get weird. They
start to like figure things out. And it's just one
of the I don't know, like most original feeling because
it's not based on anything. This dude just created it

(10:38):
from other ideas of everything. There's been a lot of
comparisons to like Lost or Twin Peaks, and there's definitely
I think inspirations from that for sure. But and the
main guy, Adam Scott, he plays Mark Scout in the series,
and the reason he goes under the procedure is because
he loses his wife and then so he does that
to kind of escape his grief at least for eight hours,

(11:00):
five days of the week. And then you kind of
realize as the show goes along that all of these
people kind of did that for not similar reason, but
reasons like that it's some sort of form of escape
from something that's too hard to deal with in their
outside life. But it's just a Ben Stiller directs most
of it. He executive produces also, and it's just like
an unbelievable show. And I think season two is only

(11:23):
better than season one, and season one was incredible, So
you don't see that with a lot of shows where
it just progressively gets better. So even in that it's
like I don't know when people are like I need
new show, and I'm like, watch Severence. It's it's been
the One of the things like this podcast has done
which I really appreciate is that people come to me
more to talk about these things. And I have never

(11:46):
had more people come up and talk to me about Severance,
like in real life than like all my friends in
like the town I live in, Like when go to
the coffee shop and stuff like that, Like people are
always talking Semmerce to me, to a point where my
wife is like, I'm never watching the show because you
talk about.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
Those people too much, right.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
That that's how much. But definitely check out Severance because
it is. It definitely can be confusing because it's very
much a show that shows, does not tell, it does
not spoon feed things. Okay, you definitely it's definitely a
pay attention follow the clues to where they're going. But
it is a pretty devastating one in a lot of
different ways than you could probably even even imagine. But yeah,

(12:30):
I would just say just take what I said and
just go in and see where the journey takes you.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
Okay, yeah, yeah, as you recapped it, Yeah, my brother
he definitely told me the same thing to check into it.
I've just been slacking, I guess, so, so it's next
on the list.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
Love to hear that. Also, my wife is just not
good at watching TV shows. She just like does not
enjoy enjoy it. But there is a show that there's
two shows that we've gotten into recently that has like
shocked me. So there's this new show on Max called
The Pit and it's basically yeah, but if HBO made Er,
apparently there's this whole thing you can go look up

(13:06):
where it was supposed to be an Er continuation. They
even cast the same guy from Er, but something got
weird in the creation and they ended up just making
its own thing. And it follows the emergency room of
the Pittsburgh Medical Trauma Center. And the way the show

(13:28):
is structured is that it's fifteen episodes hour episodes and
each episode is an hour during that one shift. Okay, interesting, Yeah,
so it's that framing device is already fucking sick. But yeah,
it is like so good, and I think my wife
likes it because she does have ADHD and so and

(13:49):
this show and The Bear both have this in common
where it's just like anxiety the whole time, because everything
just happens so fast, and it's just like the thing,
the thing, the thing, the thing. There's no real like
reprieve and anything. It's just like go, go, go go.
And I think that's what gets her so engaged because
it's so funny because usually I just watch stuff at night.
She'll be reading and I was like, hey, I'm gonna

(14:10):
put on the show about this your show, and she's like, yeah, okay,
that's cool. And then she started watching it and I
saw her and like her book was down and she
was paying a full attention to it, and she's like,
I hate you for getting me into this show. But
now it's like we're we're caught up and new episodes.
There's only a few episodes left, but new episodes come
out Thursdays, so it's like now we're like Thursday night

(14:31):
the pit.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
Yeah it is it? Like is it graphic? That's so
like my wife, she's she can't watch stuff that's like bloody.
Like I try to get her watching Vince Moore, She's
just like, I can't even a cartoon, is it? Is it?
Like like you know how CSI would have like the
slow mo body ripping apart kind of stuff. Does the
pit go that crazy?

Speaker 1 (14:52):
It's pretty brutal at Puppets. Not all the time, but
there's definitely parts where you're like, oh my god, I
can't believe there's on TV. Whoa, it's real TV. You know,
it's it's HBO. When I said it's like if VR
made HBO, it's like, it's like if you are made HBO.
Even the first episode, I was like, Yeah, lots of
those moments where you're like, because it'll I mean, it's

(15:15):
like being in an er, so it's like things are
kind of fine, you're just monitoring stuff, and the next
thing comes in and it's like this dude's leg is
all messed up, and you're like seeing a bunch of
wild stuff.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
Yeah, okay, I'll keep that if I if I die,
I've seen that one on the homescreen on Max, So
it'll have to be a solo show. I don't think
my wife could handle that.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
Yeah. Yeah, there's the moely been times where my wife
and I were like, ah no, but that stuff doesn't
super bother us. Like we watch like, you know, action,
I watch horror movies, so it's like that stuff. I'm
usually like, yeah, that's whatever. And then the other show
we got into is the show Home Economics, which is
on Hulu because it was an ABC show and it

(15:57):
has to for Grace in it. And it's basically three
siblings who all are at very They live in San Francisco,
but they're all in very like differing financial situations. Like
the one the younger brother is like super rich, like
ungodly rich, Like the whole thing is that he bought
Matt Damon's house, okay, and that's that's his house. And

(16:18):
the other one's kind of just like a normal middle
class family. They have like a normal size house and
they have three kids. And then the other is the
sister and her wife and they live in like a
very small like apartment with their kids. But it's just
like a funny, easy to watch show. I don't even
know how we started watching it. I think it came
on after something and we just kept watching it and

(16:39):
then just didn't stop. And tofah, Grace's character is a
novelist and then he starts writing a novel about his family,
and that's kind of like the plot device that drives
the episodic nature of it. But it's mostly kind of
like a SITCOMI where it's like you don't really need
to pay super close attention, and there's obviously things that
factor in as it goes along, but it's very much

(17:00):
like just like a easy watching thing. But apparently got canceled.
So once we're done with that, we're done. Yeah, nothing
else to look forward to there. I looked that up
the other day and I was like, oh man, I
got canceled. That's a bummer. I guess when we're done,
we're done. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
You know, it's good to have like those the heavy
dramas and then those kind of lighthearted, kind of refresh shows.
You know, it's good that.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
Yeah, it is very It is very good to have
that bounce because there's some shows you just get really
dark and it's it's it's a lot to deal with,
it really is. I did I did start? This happens
to be like I think it's one of the Netflix
shows that just ends up popping throughout the year because
there's really so much stuff. I feel like everything gets
lost in the translation. But this new show Adolescence came out.

(17:48):
It's a limited series. I've only watched the first episode,
but it's every episode is shot in one take, one
continuous take, which is why because it's not like what
the show thrust you into. This like family and their
house gets like busted into by like a police and

(18:10):
swat team and they arrest this thirteen year old boy
for murder, and the whole first episode is him getting arrested,
him getting taken to the station, and then his parents
kind of figuring out what's going on. Kind Of the
end of it is, without like giving too much away,
is kind of revealing how maybe the murder happened. So
I'm already kind of like locked in, but it just

(18:32):
follows the characters as they go around and doesn't cut away,
So if it kind of adds to like the anxiety
and the uneasiness and the uncertainty of the show I
started the second episode but seems to happen. It starts
off in the school where the little boy is from,
and that's been like cool too because you're like going
through classrooms and there's like people playing music and like

(18:55):
a band classroom, and they're like closing the door, and
it's like the world that had to go into this
show YEA to make this happen is insane, Like it's crazy,
and that's how I heard about it because I heard
each episode was shot in one continuous take, and that's
kind of been the main thing that blows it up.
But everyone's been like, it's really good. I tried to
start it like last week, but I don't think I

(19:17):
was in the right mind frame at the point. At
that point. It was the same with like Baby Reindeer
last year, where I started it and I was like, Oh,
this is gonna be really like dark and creepy, and
then when I finally revisited, I was like, Wow, this
is darker than I ever could have imagined. But I
think this is kind of like this year's that okay,
a kind of Baby Baby Raindeer is even more crazy

(19:38):
because it happened in real life and the guy who
plays the character in the show, it happened to him
in real life, and he like wrote and created the series.
That one is like I would highly recommend too, but
it is insanely messed up, especially knowing that it actually happened.
It's brutal, it's not like gruesome or anything, but it's
just like creepy and dark and like severely messed up

(19:59):
to know that it actually happened. Even if it didn't happen.
It's it's a very dark thing. But that added it's
just oh god, this happened in real life. Yeah, yeah,
I'm I'm excited to watch more.

Speaker 2 (20:12):
That's another one I've seen on the Netflix home page too,
but I just haven't haven't taken the dive yet. So
that's like you said, sometimes there's so much there. I'm
just like, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
I feel like I miss so much on Netflix, to
be honest, and I'm a big TV watcher. I write
TV articles for Collider and it's it's all based on
TV stuff. So it's like I watch a lot of TV,
but a lot of Netflix stuff just kind of flies
by me for no reason other than like it's there
and it's gone. It's it's hard because it's like all

(20:40):
these weekly shows are coming out, and it's so easy
to like come up with ideas to write articles about
when it's a weekly thing. But when one thing comes
out at once, it's like you feel like you have
to write about it like right then and there, right,
and it's you know, it's like, oh, I have to
watch this eight to ten episode series like now and

(21:00):
then try to think of ideas like as you're doing it,
It's like, damn, that's it's a lot to try and
at least I'm just maybe I'm not used to that
aspect of it to try and netflix it up. But
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
Yeah, no, I mean, you know, you got to have that, like,
especially with dark stuff. You know, you got to have
that like decompression time to like process what you just
you know, what you went through emotionally too, you know.
So it sounds tough.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
Let's talk to some Invincible though, speaking of dark stuff. Yeah, right,
I wanted before we get into this season as a whole,
I want to know, did you read the comics before
this or was the show your entry into the Invincible universe. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
I haven't read any of the comics yet, so yeah,
yeah it was the show. I had a friend recommend
the show, and I watched it. It's like, wow, this
is really cool. So I'm planning on kind of the
same thing with Walking Dead, Like I watched the show
first and then went into the comics, So I'll probably
do that.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
Yeah. I've read like the comics into maybe parts of
season two at this point. Not that I did a
thing where it's like after season one I read the
comics that pertained to season one basically, and then season
two I just fell off and then randomly I read
some of them. I think I'm at a point now
where I'm okay with reading ahead, because I had that

(22:18):
fight with myself for like all of last year. When
season two is coming out, I'm like, man, don't just
want to read ahead. But now that I'm like, I've
written quite a few articles about Invincible and doing some
of that research, it kind of led me into things
that might be happening in the future and stuff like that,
and I think it doesn't bother me as much anymore

(22:39):
as it kind of used to because things are so
crazy in the show. Now I'm like and everyone's like, oh,
it gets crazier, and I'm like what, yeah, okay, I'm
like kind of now, I'm like, okay, maybe I will
just read it instead of like scrolling on Twitter and
getting something followed from me, because people do that all
the time, and it's kind of rude. I know, the
comics went out for a minute, but everyone's wrote the

(23:00):
comic guy.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yeah, it's like a comic comic elitism, you.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
Know, Yeah, yeah, which I get it.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
I get it.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
I was the same way, Like I got into it
through the show and then kind of went to the
comics after the fact, and they've made a ton of
improvements from the comics to the screen, which is cool
that Robert Kirkman has been able to like And I
interviewed him last year and he even said he's like,
it's been a really cool to be able to like
enhance what he wrote like a decade ago and now

(23:28):
in a new medium and kind of make it better,
you know, or or make certain things different. And it's
I was doing like an invincible after show on that
Agents of Fandom, a YouTube channel, and my co host
he is like an invincible like nerd to the max,
Like he's read the whole comic series like five times

(23:48):
or something like that, maybe more like an insane amount
of times, and he knows everything back and forth, and
like talking about the episodes, he'd be like, Oh, this
is actually a change from the comics. I'm like, oh wow,
what a cool change. It's like, wow, that's so that's
so cool to hear that you can see a creator
have that humility to be like, yeah, I can make
what I did better because I feel like that that

(24:09):
has to be kind of like a rare thing, like
not everyone is like willing to do that kind of thing,
you know, like look back and be like I could
do better than that. So shout out to Robert Kirkman
for yeah doing that.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
It's cool too, because it's like, you know, sometimes you'll
hear where it's like maybe not the original writer and
like just the you know, the video, the team on
the show will make changes and like the fan base
won't like it, but it's it's cool that he's like, no,
I'm doing it, or like I'm a part of this too,
you know, so like it gives you more appreciation.

Speaker 1 (24:38):
I think for sure. Yeah, it's been like a rising thing.
I think in these in like adaptations as a whole,
like even with the Last of Us, like Neil Druckman,
the guy who created the game as a co creator
of the show, and it's very integral and directs and
writs episodes of the show, and it's like I feel
like that's so important and it can get very lost

(24:59):
on some these adaptations of not having that like heart
and soul of like what the thing is supposed to be.
So I'm glad to see like creators be able to
like go into different mediums and be able to do
these things and bring them to new eyes because it's
like like like what I just talked about, like the
comic panel, Like so many more people have seen the

(25:20):
show than read the comics. It's just a fact. And
that comic was a very popular comic for sure, Like
it was a very he wouldn't have been able to
finish it if it wasn't, you know, right, But to
see like how big of a hit it is on
Prime is really cool and I'm I have no doubt
they'll they'll finish the series as they plan to and
like finish up his whole comic run. And I've heard

(25:42):
the ending is really good, and I think we're I
think he said it would end up being like eight
to ten seasons of TV, so we're like a third.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
Wow, that's crazy when you really.

Speaker 1 (25:53):
Think about it, because it's like I've seen people like
hold up the omnibuses and be like, yeah, this is
like where we're at. And I think if the way
season four will end, it'll bring us not even to
the end of the second compendium, which the compendiums are
those big, those big moment flickers, right, And I was
like damn, Okay, yeah, we still have ago cool.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
I can't even imagine, well, how many more bones are
gonna be broken?

Speaker 1 (26:18):
And then so many? I think, Yeah, right, what did
you think when you watched the first episode like that,
with the episode ending with Omni Man killing the Guardians?

Speaker 2 (26:28):
Oh man, I was like, this dude's a badass, I
think was my initial Like, wow, I was definitely surprised.
It's interesting for me because it's like, I don't know
if you have kids or not, but so I have.
I have a seven year old. My wife's Japanese, so
I have like a half Asian child. So I kind
of relate in a weird way to the show in
that sense. Yeah, and then and then also me being

(26:51):
in a band, I'm on tour, so I'm like gone
and I'm not a superhero by any means, but you know,
like I'll be gone from from home and then I
kind of come back and like I'll miss things, you know,
so like in a weird way. Like and then like
I also have my American culture and my wife has
her Japanese culture, you know, which you know, fulture, my
human kind of thing. So like there's these weird points

(27:12):
where I kind of like have a connection to the
characters in that in that way. So so in some ways,
like I'll see Nolan like, you know, do these things
and I'm like, shit, okay, have I have I been
kind of bad? Is that something I need to pay attention?
Like I'm not chopping off heads with my hands, you know,
but you know what I'm saying, Like just right, it's
just like this weird connection. So in some ways, I'm
like I kind of like I kind of root for

(27:35):
Nolan even when he was like the bad guy, Like
I kind of get where he's coming from, if that
makes sense. So like for sure, yeah, yeah, the end
Sorry that went on off tangent, but yeah, the end
of season one was I think that's definitely where I
was hooked. You know, like when I happened, I was like,
oh man, where is this gonna go from here? You know?

Speaker 1 (27:50):
Right?

Speaker 2 (27:50):
And it just it just kept getting crazier, which is great.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
It's funny you brought up Dragon ball Z because TJ
the the head of of Ines of fandom, he was
making a lot of comparisons from Invincible to Dragon ball Z.
He's like, think about it this way, if Goku came
to Earth lived his earth right, But then when when

(28:15):
the sayans came, he was like, yeah, I'm with them,
Like that would be the equivalent of like what invincible is.
And I was like, I never thought of it that way,
but you are so right, Like that is that is
messed up to like a fucking insane degree. You know.
It's it's it's like the worst fear of Superman. You know,
Superman comes as an alien. Everyone knows he's an alien,
but he's just a big hero. But there's still those

(28:36):
people that are like prejudiced against him because he is
an alien and he's all powerful, and they're like, what
if he turns? And it's like Robert Kirkman answered that question,
So what happened if Superman was actually evil? But again,
going to your point, the show has proven that he's
not evil per se. Of course he did some very

(28:58):
bad Yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
Yeah, it's you know, it's a fun question of morality,
I guess, you know, but yes, but yeah, and I
mean I liked I remember even watching season one and
just like you know, there's definitely tie ins to like
superhero culture that existed before that comics, and you know,
kind of I think him Robert Cookman showing his respects
to things that came for him, and I just I
think it's cool how they you know, implemented these other characters.

(29:22):
I'm like, wait, this kind of reminds me of so
and so, you know, and then he gets his head
chopped off, like oh okay, so yeah, I guess he
wasn't that.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
Strong even in season three, like we see that kind
of Rexplode is kind of just Gambit, yeah right, And
I didn't really notice it until season three. You're like, oh, yeah,
I guess he's just kind of like Gambit, like kind
of interesting. It's like Eve, it's kind of this weird
amalgamation of like Jean Gray and Scarlet Witch. It's like,
it's so cool how he's taken things that obviously inspired
him as he was probably a kid of reading comic

(29:51):
books and he's like, I'm gonna do this my way.
I think that's super cool. And it's like it's it's
hard to like really pin it down because in Vincent
has such this like special tone to it because when
you watch that first episode, it feels like a you know,
like I'm watching like a Saturday morning cartoon until the
ending scene happens and you're like.

Speaker 5 (30:09):
Whoa, this is not what I expected this show was,
which is funny because I like knew Robert Kirkman, I
watched The Walking Dead, knew what The Walking Dead was like,
you know, so I was like, there has to be.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
Some like really messed up thing that happens right in
the series, right this, especially with it being on Prime
video and they already kind of having the reputation after
The Boys and what The Boys is. But it really
toes this like weird line between like super dramatic and
kind of funny and kind of like playful and whimsical.
There is this like inherent like child nature to this

(30:44):
show with it being very adult at the same time,
and I think it's such a cool thing it captures,
and I like, I think it's part of why I
love it so much. Yeah, and it's hard because I
fight with myself with this, like what's the best comic
book adaption or best animated comic book adaptation? Because I
thought X Men ninety seven of last year was incredible,

(31:07):
unbelievably amazing. So it's like those fight for me. But
we're in like a really good era of animated superhero content. Yeah,
there's like so much good stuff coming out. Like I
know you said you have a kid. I don't know
if they're into superhero stuff, but if you haven't watched
Friendly Neighborhood Spider Man, oh yeah we.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
Have, we haven't. He actually loves Spider Man, but we haven't.
We haven't dived into that one.

Speaker 1 (31:30):
It's a good one because it's it's like familiar but
different in like a really smart way. And I did
not expect that show to be as good as it is,
but it is very good. Yeah, Like I was like,
oh cool, another Spider Man animated show, like I obviously
grew up on loving one. Again, it's like different, but
at same time, it's like everyone knows Spider Man, so
it's like it feels like Spider Man will giving you

(31:52):
something new from Spider Man, which I feel like that
has to be such a hard task, hard thing. Yeah,
but yeah, it's like that was the the talk of
the town because everyone's like, this Spider Man show is
actually really good. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
See, yeah, yeah, it's funny because like I mean, it's
been a couple years ago, but yeah, like my son
and I we watched like nineteen sixties Spider Man cartoons,
you know.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
Like way wow.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
Yeah, and so we kind of went through some of
the old stuff and so, yeah, we haven't gotten into
the new one. He's very one minded, so like, while
we're on dragon Ball, like before bedtime, it's dragon Ball.
But once you know, got a couple more sagas to
get through.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
But once we're there, its long. Yeah, it's a long,
long journey.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
Yeah, they just released the new one too, But we'll
get there. We'll get there.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
Yeah. I remember my wife bought me the DVD collection
of dragon Ball Z and we started to watch it.
But it was like right when we kind of both
got back into anime, like the current landscape of anime
and the slow nature of Dragon Ball Z was almost
like too much for us. Really, you know, it's like
ten episodes and one thing happens. I was fine with it.

(32:56):
I can be patient and watch something. But she's like,
this is everything's happening to slow, And I'm like that's yeah.
I was like, fair, that's a fair criticism because it's true.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
Yeah. I mean, even my son, you know, here's seven,
he's like, why did they power up so long? I'm
like that's a good question, but I don't know.

Speaker 1 (33:11):
I don't have the answer. To that, I'm sorry. Going
back to Invincible season three, what were your general general
thoughts of this this season as a whole.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
I thought it was great. I think the pacing was
really good, like you mentioned, just kind of like equal parts,
like you know, relationships just between people that don't have
anything to do with being super superhero. And then you know,
obviously the action, the increasing dynamics between the you know,
Cecil and his crew and then the Guardians, and I
thought it was all like multiple threads moving and then

(33:39):
a bunch of threads that you thought were over coming
back and you're like, whoa wait a minute. So I
thought it was Yeah, I loved it.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
I think Invincible has kind of mastered that the Yeah,
they tackle so many storylines at once, but I've never
felt it to be like overwhelming or confusing. It's more
of exactly what you said, something comes back and you're like,
oh yeah, oh my god, I about that. I can't
believe it's back. Cool And I love how they do that,
like it's it's so cool, how like frenetic and fast

(34:07):
paced it is. But I feel like this season the
show like hit its like real stride. I mean, I
love season one. I even't really like season two, even
though it was like weirdly broken up into two parts
for no really reason, I think other than just spread
it out. But I still really enjoyed season two. And
a big point that's been made clear to me about
season three is season three is the first season that

(34:29):
like pretty much solely focuses on Mark. Season one is
obviously like Omniman and Mark. Even season two it ended
up being a little more Mark, but there's a lot
of Omniman in there too, And this is the first
season it's like this is an Invincible show. Like a
lot of people were even theorizing like, oh, Alan and
Omnimen have to come help in these in these last
two episodes, right, and it's like, no, Mark handles this

(34:51):
not by himself but basically right by right. Oliver and
Eve both try to help obviously, right, but it kind
of just makes things worse work. But I think this
might be my favorite season of Invincible so far.

Speaker 2 (35:04):
Yeah, No, I think it's like, like you mentioned, like
season one kind of sets the stage in a way,
and then season two you're kind of like filling in
more of those details. But now it's like here's the
real like development and like you said, Like I kept waiting.
I was like, all right, I'm the man, he's coming.
He's gonna have a big old punch here in a second.
And I was like, oh, okay, I guess not yeah,

(35:25):
but I'm glad he was.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
Yes, yeah, yeah. I think it was important to have
Mark handle that by himself, you know what I mean,
Like for his character, I think it did a lot
for him. And I gotta say Mark and Eve being together,
thank god, because this poor guy, I don't think he
would have survived any of this if for not that,
Because this is poor dude. Like I keep thinking about

(35:49):
all the stuff that dude has been through and he's
only had his powers for like two years, right, and
all that, Like he had to fight his dad and
realize he lied to him his whole life. You know,
he had to go to an alien play in it
and find out he had a new brother and fight
other vilchemites. Like the dude has been through some massively
fucked up shit and he just keeps going. But like

(36:11):
he blames the awe on himself. That's so rough and
I love that kind of Obviously, the show isn't realistic
in terms of what's happening because it's like, you know,
there's so many crazy super powered individuals or that's not realistic,
but the way he handles like what it would be
like to be a superhero feels very real. Yeah, because

(36:34):
he's definitely like with great power comes great responsibility. It's
like this the show is like the definition of that.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
Yeah. Absolutely. I felt like a good example of that
was when he when he killed Engstrom, you know, the
first you know, at the end, it's just just like
how he like his I mean, obviously I've never killed anybody,
don't plan on it, but just the way that like
he showed him dealing with it, you know, it seemed
like very real, like you know, his PTSD about it.
You know, I thought that was true all.

Speaker 1 (37:00):
I've always said the show handles consequences in a way
that a lot of other shows or forms of medium
like don't, because you like feel the weight of all
of his actions, and I think that's so cool and
so integral to the show. And even the fact that
Engstrom lived it only added to that like complexity and

(37:20):
that like confusion in his brain. And you're like, if
I would have actually killed them, none of this would
have happened. You know, like that's that's some dark stuff
to deal with. You know, you saw kill this guy
and they did, and he came back with fifteen evil
versions of you. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
And what's crazy too is like, you know when he
kind of says that at the end, and it's like
Oliver who kind of like said that that one, you know,
like just kill him, and you know Mark's mind, he's like,
oh no, I can't do that. But then he's like, yeah,
you're right. You know that's also a crazy thing to be,
Like my little brother might be right about just killing people.

Speaker 1 (37:56):
I've heard Oliver in the comics is a little more
of a menace. Yeah, and they've made him a lot
more likable in the show. But even when he's like
when he kills them, all are twins and he's like,
he's like they're bad. People were getting rid of them,
so no one has to deal with them. And you're
kind of like horrified that this child just murdered these

(38:17):
two things. But then you're kind of like he kinda
has a boy. Yeah. It's like the age old question
of like why doesn't Batman kill the Joker? Like I
know it's his moral code, like the Joker also kills
a lot of people, dude, right, a lot of people
you love? Yeah, if you kill them, he wouldn't do that.

Speaker 2 (38:38):
Right, Yeah. Yeah. And that's that's where like even with
you know, with On the Man, it's like, you know, like,
obviously it's not good, but there's some weight to what
he's talking about, Like you know, if you it kind
of goes back to like the Avengers too. You know,
it's like, I'm going to get rid of all the
bad people and just start over. And it's like, Okay, theoretically, sure,
that's a great idea, but obviously it's not. It's not

(39:00):
I don't want to say an a great idea, but
I'm gonna come off like a super villain here on
this interview. But you know, there's just it's just that
interesting morality to us where you kind of think about
it and you're like, well, maybe there's something to what
they're saying.

Speaker 1 (39:10):
It's such a like an interesting thing to think about,
you know, And I love that this show has tackled
that head on, and it culminates in season three of
being like, if anyone ever gets in the people the
way the people I love, I will kill them and
that's such asane thing to end on. That's your hero,
that's the hero of this series. And he's like anyone

(39:33):
gets my way again dead, yeah, and to think about
the things like Cecil keeping conquests alive. You know, when
he finds out like what does that mean? You know,
there's a lot of implications are setting up within just
in that statement alone, and you know it's serious when
there's no like after credits usually yeah, well what there

(39:56):
was that one, but it's very unrelated to like what's
going on currently. But still it's like I was like, damn,
they make you sit in that line for a little
bit before they teach you and something new. I'm very
anticipating what's coming next, but like I'm nervous and I'm scared. Yeah,
because again people just think it keeps getting crazier, and

(40:16):
I'm like yeah, really.

Speaker 2 (40:19):
Right, okay, all right, right, Yeah It's interesting because it's
like I felt, like, you know, like Mark, he like
obviously just gets his ass beat like every fight against
like a bigger person, you know, and like comes back stronger.
But there's those moments where like he kind of unleashes
himself and when you know, like but he has to
like get to that point, and by the time he

(40:40):
gets to that point, all these other people get hurt.
And it's like, you know, it'll be interesting to see
moving forward if if he doesn't have to go through
all of that and he can just kind of unleash
the beasts so speak, you know. But but then it's
like the more he does that, does he just become
what he's trying.

Speaker 1 (40:54):
To fight, you know, So yeah, exactly, his biggest fear
is becoming his dad, right, But like they're even setting
up Omni Man's redemption, not not only through the Allen stuff,
but like even with Oliver, he's like he's like, because
I am the species I am, or half the species
I am, Like I remember everything from when I was
a kid, even when I was a baby. It's like

(41:17):
I remember the dad who took care of me and
loved my mom and all that stuff. And it's like, wow,
it's a there's always two sides to a story. You
can always be the villain in anyone's story. It's all
about perspective. So it's it's it's been cool that they
been playing with that, and I love that you brought
up like how when he has those big fights you

(41:37):
can see him kind of holding himself back until it's
to a point where he can't and then he kind
of leashes everything. Because I did like how season two
set up that when it was kind of not to
vltremite level people, like when he was fighting Multi Paul
or he was fighting the Rhianna men, like you saw
him like tearing through those mother fuckers like like nothing,

(41:58):
and you were like, you would not see season one
or two Mark do that, so you already there's already
there's been a depression of that too. So yeah, like
like you said, when season four rolls around, like I'm
kind of scared to see he's gonna handle some of
these threats. You know, he's just gonna kind of mow
through them like it's nobody's business. And I'm I'm excited
to see that dynamic. I know C's last him to

(42:19):
be the leader of the Guardians of Club and he's
like no, But I feel like once he tells Eve
about it, Eve is probably gonna be like, no, you
should be the leader, Like I'll be part of the
team whatever. But do you think he might that might
be a thing in season four, like he'll be the
leader of the guardians now that you know, like half

(42:41):
of them are dead or disappeared and shotovers or retired.

Speaker 2 (42:47):
Yeah, I definitely think it'll be a part of it,
And I wouldn't be surprised if it's something where like,
you know, he reluctantly takes the helm and then some
crazy shit happens when people die, and then it's another
thing of him like blaming himself kind of situation. Yeah,
because like he's got the power, but then like being
a leader is a different beast entirely so, right, And

(43:09):
I'm just waiting for the whole conquest, you know, because
it's obviously he's going to come back at some point.

Speaker 1 (43:18):
Yeah, once you lock a big scary vilturemite in a cage,
don't think he's gonna say there forever. Right, Obviously, the
oncoming viltr Mite invasion is always looming overhead, never goes away,
and you think about that, it's like, are they gonna that?
That's like the one thing I was like, I really
would like confirmation or some sort of information on because

(43:40):
you see, they sent the two Viltrumites to execute no one.
Obviously they died. They sent conquests to Earth to take
care of the problem. He didn't return. Presumably he he
did die, but then they kind of, you know, smushed
his brains back together.

Speaker 2 (43:58):
I guess apparently that works.

Speaker 1 (44:00):
I guess when you're like an advanced life form. I
don't know. It's it's kind of crazy that two characters
have fully gotten their brains sliddered on the ground and
they just kind of show it back together and like, yeah,
I'll be fine. Pretty crazy when you really think about it.
But it's like do they know that they're dead or
that they assume because they don't return after a certain

(44:22):
amount of time, and it's like, what's the next wave?
Do they send a team? Did they send you know,
there's a big bombshell drop that there's only fifty Vulture
mines left, which I think leading up to that, I
was like, there's no way they can win this war, right,
they got like a few people that can even hold
their own against these these motherfuckers, Like, how are they
going to defeat like an army of them? Hearing that

(44:44):
there's like fifty at this point, you know, like what
like forty seven or forty eight or whatever, Right, it's
like that seems more tolerable, you know, it seems a
little more obtainable to win. But it's like, do they
send everyone or do they send their next strongest guy
or like I'm interested to see like what those steps
are and how that plays into a factor. Like, obviously

(45:06):
we're all waiting for Omni man a return to Earth,
which is going to be a big thing, and I
feel like the people of Earth are not going to
be very stoked about. Yeah, but at the same time,
when he's going to be fighting on their side this time,
it may lend us some forgiveness, yeah, which is it's
it's gonna be kind of up in the air. But

(45:26):
I do like after this season, I think it'll also
be very interesting to see how the people of Earth
feel about Invincible as a whole. You know. It's like
they just saw over a dozen of people that look
just like him come to destroy a lot of places

(45:47):
on Earth, and then there's that big fight right after,
and obviously he came to fight Invincible. So it's like,
I don't think the people are going to be very
fond of Invincible next season.

Speaker 2 (45:57):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's I had that thought, Like as
they were having to fight Mark and Conquest at the end,
it's just like it's just a repeat of his fight
with Withman and just destroying things, you know, and it's like,
I think Cecil told him at some point it's like,
you know, wherever you go, destruction follows.

Speaker 1 (46:11):
You know.

Speaker 2 (46:11):
It's like you can't really argue that.

Speaker 1 (46:13):
Yeah, it's you know. And I saw someone post a
really funny like meme kind of like funny video, and
it was someone at a beach and they're like finally
got Chicago, so happy to get away from the mess.
And I was like, oh no, they're talking about like
they're at the beach and then Conquest goes to the beach.
I was like, that's so brutal. Yeah, because I remember

(46:36):
one of my friends being like, so, like, how's the
fight because obviously they tease the big Conquest fight at
the end episode. So and I was like, dude, it's
like it's like Mark versus on steroids.

Speaker 2 (46:46):
Yeah, yeah, it really is.

Speaker 1 (46:48):
It's like so much worse. And Jeffardy Morgan like shout
out to him for an incredible voice acting performance and
to the point that those two Stephen You and Jefferdy
Morgan and Robert Kirkman got to totally finally give Glenn's
redemption against me right in a very crazy kind of way,

(47:11):
which is really cool. Even Jefferdy Morgan is like, I'm glad,
I'm glad. I'm glad Stephen can get his revenge on me.

Speaker 2 (47:19):
I remember seeing like people like teasing about like Walking Dead,
you know, tye In or something, and I was like,
as I was watching, I was like, where is it?
And then I, you know, had the moment where I
like with his voice, I was like, wait a second,
and then you know, Paul's on Amazon. I was like,
oh my god, that's that's it.

Speaker 1 (47:34):
It's so great, what a great full circle moment. We
were talking about comic to serious differences. That whole monologue
he goes on about like no one liking him and
even have a name, that was all new, all news
for the show, and I feel like it added such
a layer of psychotic nature that was already on top

(47:57):
of dude who's obviously insanely crazy, right, And it's like
you got to think about it, like Viltrimite's age insanely slow.
Like Nolan is like hundreds of years old, this dude
is probably like close to like a thousand years old
or something, because he's much older than Nolan like he

(48:18):
talks about He's like, yeah, I saw Nolan like grow up.
Basically his dude is old, right fuck And to have
that like just think about like you live in a
society where it's just survival, the fitness all the time.
That's all your life is. There's no attachments, there's no anything.
The only thing you get is like conquering, Like like

(48:40):
his name is literally his life conquest. Like that's pretty
wild thing. Like imagine living with that for hundreds of years.

Speaker 2 (48:48):
Yeah, yeah, I thought that moment was really cool. Yeah,
where he was just like, you know, nobody likes him
and yeah, he didn't have a name, just a purpose
or whatever, and it was just a cool moment. But
but yeah, I was like this dude psycho, you know.
But I mean who wouldn't be I guess at that point,
you know. But yeah, it's cool. It was a cool
moment for sure.

Speaker 1 (49:10):
And the thing that makes it even crazier is the
only reason he told him that is because he thought
he was gonna kill Mark. He's like take this, and.

Speaker 2 (49:15):
I'm like wow, yeah.

Speaker 1 (49:18):
And that's scary thing about about that too, is that
he could have killed Mark and numerous times for sure.

Speaker 2 (49:27):
Yeah, that's like when Oliver showed up, I'm like, dude,
what are you doing? Get out of here? You know,
the same same things. Yeah, I mean I guess it
helped like distract them briefly, but I was like, man,
are they going to show this kid you're ripped in half? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (49:41):
Yeah, it's hard because it's so weird because like I know,
like even when the the Adam Eve stuff happened, it's
like they're touted as like the best relationship in comics
of all time, like no hyperbole like that, they're like
the best relationship. And obviously this season showed kind of why,
and I know they've even enhanced a lot of that stuff.
And even I guess when she shows up to face

(50:03):
off Conquest Conquests just like literally instantly like punches her
in the face and then disembowels her like there's no fight,
so that her having a fight against them is totally
new added for the show, which I think is very
important and shows like her level as a superhero. Two.
So I'm glad they added that. I thought I was like, man,

(50:24):
is she really fucking dead? Like I thought they were,
Like I thought they had like kids. I thought they
had kids and stuff, like, I know there's like a multiverse.
I know there's like time travel is something weird? Shit
happened with that? Like, what's what's going on here? Did
she really die?

Speaker 2 (50:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (50:37):
You know, were like and even the Oliver stuff, like
I really thought he was gonna rope half for sure.
I was like, oh my god, oh my god, because
I was especially if you're a Walking Dead fan. Ye,
no one is safe, no one right ever? Yeah, safe
as soon as you love someone dead always, you know

(50:58):
what I mean. You're like, I really like the scar
and the next episode they're dead. You're like, fuck, yeah,
I just really like that guy. Yeah, damn it. So
it's like that that part is terrifying. You know, even
if they're an important character, you're still scared for their
life because it's like, you know how this dude operates,
and he loves he loves killing off big characters.

Speaker 2 (51:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (51:22):
So I they teased a lot going into season four.
The sequins are back. Yeah, Like it's a silly villain,
but as we saw the last time they dealt with him,
they were pretty formative admidable. Yeah, when if they take
over the wrong person, it's bad news. So I'm excited
to see them come back. Obviously, Angstrom's still alive, which

(51:46):
I think is a very nice touch to He's the
kind of like his joker in a way, you know,
he's getting away. I like that because it's like every
time he comes back, it's like he just gets scarier.
It's already scary being you know, verse hopping super genius.
That's that's enough in itself, but I like how they
keep leveling him up as as he goes along. So

(52:10):
it'd be fun to see him go back and to
see like what the technicians wanted.

Speaker 2 (52:14):
Yeah, I'm really curious, like who who they are? You know,
and like, yeah, because obviously it's like a different world.
But there's part of me too that you know, how
cecils making the new like robot guys h that kind
of look like they're dead invincible bodies based on their outfit. Yeah,
and I'm kind of like, are these are these dudes?

(52:36):
Those guys that have aged, you know, I don't know,
they're all robots, So it'll be interesting to see who
all that, you know, what happens with the dead invincible robots,
you know, with Angstrom and his crew.

Speaker 1 (52:46):
Like that's a good theory. Actually, yeah, that's an interesting
theory because those are scary because obviously you know he's
building them because he knows there's more vilt Rites coming.
But the same time, you know he's also building those remarks. Right, yep,
don't love that.

Speaker 2 (53:05):
Yeah. Cecil is one of those guys where it's just like, man,
he's like, he is kind of a bad guy too,
but not you know, the same same kind of character.
It's like, I don't like this guy, but I kind
of get where he's coming from.

Speaker 1 (53:16):
Yeah. I love that they showed his like that flashback episode. Yea, Yeah,
he had the same exact mindset as Invincible until he
showed it's like, that's not what it takes to save
the world, right, you gotta do some really kind of weird,
shady shit to make sure the world is safe. I
don't think saving Conquest was the right answer for that personally.
I think that was a pretty silly, silly, silly choice

(53:38):
in his part. But we'll see how that pans out
for him probably. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (53:43):
Right.

Speaker 1 (53:44):
Damian dark Blood, who which was in season one then
got banished to hell. Yeah, yeah, this whole thing is
totally new. There was apparently it was something that Kirkman
wanted to do, but I guess so when he was
first writing the beginning Invincible, the Nolan reveal wasn't until
like episode or like issue like twenty seven or something,

(54:04):
and I think an editor image was like, nah, dude,
He's like, if you don't reveal it sooner, you're not
going to get to episode twenty seven or issue twenty seven.
So he ended up moving it further. And obviously Jamian
Dark Blood was like a big kind of like boil
for Omni Man in a way, like figuring out what
really happened. So I think that story probably got sidelined

(54:26):
when they switch things around. But it's it seems like
it's going to be. The person he was talking about
is Mark. Yeah, he's gonna bring Mark to Mark to
Hell and Mark Steth the Fighters way through Hell, which
is pretty sick.

Speaker 5 (54:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (54:39):
I was, I like totally forgot that that character existed
until he popped up, you know, right. Yeah, I think
he's an interesting character. So yeah, that'll be.

Speaker 1 (54:48):
It'll be.

Speaker 2 (54:48):
It's just like a whole Okay, So now we've got
like Robot Invincibles, We've got all the other Invincibles who
are like on a different planet or.

Speaker 1 (54:55):
You know, multiple chilling.

Speaker 2 (54:57):
Yeah, and then we've got Engstrom. We've got just a lot.
There's a lot to go, there's a lot to happen
the Secret there's.

Speaker 1 (55:03):
A lot coming down, I know. Yeah. And the guy
who's voicing the devil is Bruce Campbell.

Speaker 2 (55:09):
I think you know, the only thing missing is is
the song Invincible by Soft Book in the soundtrack.

Speaker 1 (55:16):
You know, you know, I agree, there's some great needle
drops this season. I think Soft Book and Neil Drop
would be nice.

Speaker 2 (55:23):
Yeah, you know, there's like nine inch nails and stuff
in there. I was like, okay, all right, getting a.

Speaker 1 (55:28):
Little rock in here. I think it'd be a great
a great addition. Let's manifest this into the world. Yeah yeah.
Invincible by Soft Booking was the song of the Week
a few weeks ago. Super awesome song. I love watching
the video and being like, oh, it's about that invincible cool. Yeah,
Like that's so so sick. Oh I get it. Yeah,
but thank you so much for doing this with me.

(55:50):
I love getting to dissect your thoughts of Invincible as
ruminating in this season the whole time. It's nice.

Speaker 2 (56:00):
I'm probably gonna like my next door neighbors like one
of my best friends, and you know, we watch shows
a lot together and he finished the season before I did,
and he's like, dude, once you finish, we need to
like rewatch it. So that's I'm probably going to go
through it again. And just like you know, you always
pick up new stuff, You're like, oh.
