Arthurian Legends Series: Cursed - Fandom Hybrid Podcast #210
#arthurianlegends #cursedonnetflix New on the FHP – we have decided to do a monthly series focusing on works with a central theme; for 2022, we will be discussing some of our favorite works based on Arthurian Legends, starting off with a look back at one of the first shows we covered on the podcast, the Netflix series Cursed.
Cursed tells the story of a young woman named Nimue, whose encounter with a dark force in her youth causes her to be shunned within her Fae community. Through a series of events, she sets out on a journey to discover who she really is, while encountering other figures that will have a huge impact on her journey. The usual characters are present – Arthur, Merlin, Morgana, Gawain – but there are also a few surprises in store.
The series only ran for one season, leaving viewers with a cliffhanger on where the story would be going. If you would like to hear our earlier discussions of the show, you can find them at this link: https://www.fandomhybrid.com/category/cursed-on-netflix/

Was a pirate.
Welcome back to another episode
2
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,000
of The Phantom hybrid podcast.
This is how I co and I am here
3
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,800
with Anthony, Mike and Lori and
we are doing something a little
4
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:40,200
bit different.
Today, we have talked for like
5
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:45,200
the last several months about
wanting to talk about Arthurian
6
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:49,900
Legends just because a lot of
the shows that we watch, have
7
00:00:49,900 --> 00:00:53,700
you the referenced it or it's
based off an Arthurian Legend.
8
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,300
And you know we just kind of
kicked around the idea of hey
9
00:00:57,300 --> 00:01:02,000
what are we just like take one
show or one film a month for
10
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,500
this year and just talk about
different Arthurian Legends and
11
00:01:05,500 --> 00:01:08,500
how they relate to each other or
do you know which ones we like?
12
00:01:08,500 --> 00:01:13,100
Which ones we didn't like and
yeah, that was an idea that we
13
00:01:13,100 --> 00:01:17,100
actually decided to stick with.
So this is the first of our
14
00:01:17,100 --> 00:01:21,700
Arthurian Legend series and we
are going to talk about a show
15
00:01:21,700 --> 00:01:25,100
that is near and dear to our
heart where We like to show or
16
00:01:25,100 --> 00:01:32,700
not and that is cursed, cursed
was a show that premiered on
17
00:01:32,700 --> 00:01:38,200
Netflix back in 2020, it only
ran for one season but it was
18
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,800
one of the very first shows that
we covered when we started this
19
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,200
podcast.
So we figure go back and take a
20
00:01:45,208 --> 00:01:49,000
look at curse and let's talk
about what we liked and what we
21
00:01:49,008 --> 00:01:52,100
didn't like.
And apparently it has not aged
22
00:01:52,100 --> 00:01:55,700
well for Anthony because Anthony
was Like I don't like it,
23
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,900
although I think he was just
messing with Mike about it.
24
00:01:58,900 --> 00:02:04,700
So anyway, sister just a little
bit, just a little bit, really.
25
00:02:04,700 --> 00:02:07,700
Did you go back and re-watch it
or is it just as your remember,
26
00:02:07,700 --> 00:02:09,800
you just kind of like oh they
couldn't did this better?
27
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:14,200
I didn't really like well, well
earlier today I started watching
28
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,900
the first episode just to see
there's a oh God that's started
29
00:02:18,900 --> 00:02:21,000
skipping.
And I started going through a
30
00:02:21,008 --> 00:02:24,100
bunch of different episodes that
I started remembering.
31
00:02:24,700 --> 00:02:31,200
You know I know I know there's
some good things.
32
00:02:31,700 --> 00:02:34,600
There are more bad things for
me.
33
00:02:35,100 --> 00:02:38,000
Okay.
Yeah, the things that I didn't
34
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,500
like kind of outweigh the things
got liked okay.
35
00:02:41,900 --> 00:02:44,400
Because you know we I don't
think we really went back and
36
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,700
just talked about the whole
thing, you know, the whole
37
00:02:47,700 --> 00:02:52,000
series as a whole, maybe, as I
think it, I think at the time
38
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,800
that we finished the series,
Ruiz we didn't know a like we
39
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,900
didn't find out for a long time
that they weren't going to renew
40
00:02:58,900 --> 00:03:01,900
it for a second season.
I think it was like maybe six or
41
00:03:01,900 --> 00:03:06,500
seven months after the first
season concluded that or that we
42
00:03:06,500 --> 00:03:10,200
finish talking about it that we
found out that it wasn't being
43
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,700
renewed.
So I think we probably were
44
00:03:13,700 --> 00:03:16,800
looking at it through maybe
rose-colored glasses because we
45
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,000
were like, I mean, the way that
it ended we were like, okay?
46
00:03:20,100 --> 00:03:25,900
They set it up for a good second
season, Bob Lon Yeah, we never
47
00:03:25,900 --> 00:03:30,200
got it sub still man.
I'm still pissed about that,
48
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:36,900
doggone it, that's ridiculous.
I promise it actually got mean I
49
00:03:36,900 --> 00:03:40,000
still love that show.
It's like I got a chance to kind
50
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,300
of skim through the episodes.
I'm like, I still really like
51
00:03:44,300 --> 00:03:46,100
the show.
I still really hate for the
52
00:03:46,100 --> 00:03:49,700
Cardin is still really
interesting how they did King
53
00:03:49,700 --> 00:03:55,800
Arthur, like making him kind of
a theme / kind of Korean and I
54
00:03:55,808 --> 00:03:59,100
like how they did it Through The
Eyes of nim way.
55
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,800
Instead of just doing it
through, Arthur, going through,
56
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,800
whatever he's doing or going
through Merlin going through
57
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,600
what he goes through his like a
this another way to look at it
58
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,100
and that's what still really,
really interesting to me.
59
00:04:11,100 --> 00:04:12,400
And that's why I really liked
it.
60
00:04:12,700 --> 00:04:17,300
Well I liked the concert like
the concert bad light.
61
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:24,000
Hmm the acting was was decent
but the writing kind of stuff.
62
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:29,900
If the special effects I
realized we're just not great.
63
00:04:30,100 --> 00:04:35,100
Well, I think we kind of said
that when it aired to like the
64
00:04:35,100 --> 00:04:38,300
van started, taking everything
with arriving build some of the
65
00:04:38,300 --> 00:04:44,500
stuff like just skipping around
on my, they really did that and
66
00:04:44,500 --> 00:04:47,300
some of the geography didn't
work and I started paying
67
00:04:47,300 --> 00:04:52,700
attention to how they were
getting around and then as it
68
00:04:52,700 --> 00:04:56,100
was, The more and more I thought
about it.
69
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:01,100
I just know really, you be a
really specific right now?
70
00:05:01,100 --> 00:05:03,400
Yeah, I need you to look at the
general picture.
71
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:04,900
Okay.
I'm looking at the general
72
00:05:04,900 --> 00:05:07,100
picture of your future, you'll
be reading on.
73
00:05:07,100 --> 00:05:09,800
You be a real specific being
nitpicky about stuff.
74
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,900
My rose-colored glasses have
cracks in them.
75
00:05:13,700 --> 00:05:16,600
I am I missing.
I'm halfway between the two of
76
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,400
you on this because I went back
and I looked a little bit.
77
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,600
I got it on now and it doesn't
hold up as well.
78
00:05:24,700 --> 00:05:27,600
If we hadn't watched out and
vote, okay?
79
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:33,100
At the same time, I still love
the the world, the scenery, the
80
00:05:33,100 --> 00:05:39,200
idea of them away.
It's halfway for me, okay, I'm
81
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,900
just glad that they didn't do it
the way that when I first looked
82
00:05:42,900 --> 00:05:45,400
at it, I was like, did they make
author a girl?
83
00:05:45,700 --> 00:05:47,700
I was like, oh God, please tell
me.
84
00:05:47,700 --> 00:05:49,600
They didn't know.
I'm glad they didn't didn't go
85
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,900
that route because I don't think
I think it just would have been
86
00:05:53,500 --> 00:05:56,600
It just, you would have been
kind of cheap story been
87
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,100
entirely entirely different
story, and I just don't think it
88
00:06:00,100 --> 00:06:03,400
would have held that.
I just, I just don't think that
89
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:04,700
would have been a been a good
idea.
90
00:06:04,700 --> 00:06:07,100
But that's like, I'm I really
like the way they did.
91
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:12,100
Yeah.
So for those of you who have no
92
00:06:12,100 --> 00:06:15,700
idea what we're talking about
cursed is the story.
93
00:06:15,700 --> 00:06:22,500
It is based off of a young adult
literature book by the same name
94
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,300
it.
It tells the story of King
95
00:06:25,300 --> 00:06:30,100
Arthur before he became King
Arthur, but it does it from a
96
00:06:30,100 --> 00:06:33,600
different perspective.
So author is actually a
97
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:38,100
secondary character in this
story and the main character is
98
00:06:38,100 --> 00:06:41,200
named away.
Who I think in other Arthurian
99
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:46,900
Legends, I think she's like,
What she's been Merlin's
100
00:06:46,900 --> 00:06:49,600
daughter?
She's been Merlin's lover and in
101
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,900
different iterations.
And so we see the story from her
102
00:06:53,900 --> 00:06:58,300
point of view.
And she's also Faith which is a
103
00:06:58,300 --> 00:07:02,100
little bit different because I
don't think I don't remember too
104
00:07:02,100 --> 00:07:06,600
many other versions of any
author and legends that I've
105
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:12,300
watched where they have that
magical element with the main
106
00:07:12,300 --> 00:07:15,700
characters except for Merlin,
you know, Merlin has always Been
107
00:07:15,700 --> 00:07:19,800
a magician and you know, a
varying degrees like in this one
108
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,000
when we first meet him, he
doesn't even have his powers and
109
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,900
you know, he has to go on this
little journey to get his powers
110
00:07:25,900 --> 00:07:30,300
back and all this other stuff.
But I think that was the one of
111
00:07:30,300 --> 00:07:32,700
the things that Drew me to the
story.
112
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,500
Because like Mike said, when you
look at the promos and when you
113
00:07:36,500 --> 00:07:40,500
look at the promotional posters
and all of this, it does have a
114
00:07:40,500 --> 00:07:44,200
young woman as the center
character, and I thought I was
115
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,600
like, okay, are they gonna do?
Gender be awesome.
116
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:51,600
Like that would be to me, I feel
like that will be weird, it
117
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:56,800
works and Other Stories but
about King Arthur I didn't think
118
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:01,000
that will work and then to find
out that it was not actually
119
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,200
about him.
Like like I said, he's actually
120
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:07,800
a secondary character and even,
you know, there's a scene in one
121
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:13,200
of the later episodes where
they're talking and you know, he
122
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,700
basically says well what if I
meant To, like, hold you up?
123
00:08:16,700 --> 00:08:19,000
What if I meant to make you
great or something to that
124
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,700
effect?
And I was like this, you know?
125
00:08:23,100 --> 00:08:27,400
But um yeah, so you getting them
away and she's the one that's
126
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:33,600
willing this sort of power and
you have Merlin who is for all
127
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:38,500
intents and purposes a drunk
when we first meet him and a
128
00:08:38,500 --> 00:08:45,800
smartass and which The most
iterations of Merlin but I don't
129
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:50,900
know, it's just mostly recent,
he's he's a jerk.
130
00:08:50,900 --> 00:08:53,400
He's yeah, it is and he's a
jerk.
131
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:58,500
He's very much, a smartass in is
my smartest person in the room.
132
00:08:58,500 --> 00:09:01,200
He knows everything.
Even when he's not, even when
133
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,200
he's definitely, not the
smartest person in room, he acts
134
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,700
like he's the smartest person in
the room and he somehow
135
00:09:05,700 --> 00:09:08,000
convinces, the smartest person
in the room that he's not
136
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,300
smartest person in the room.
Yeah.
137
00:09:10,300 --> 00:09:16,200
But you know at the same time
for a lot of well maybe not a
138
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:21,300
lot of the show but at least the
first like the second episode
139
00:09:21,300 --> 00:09:26,300
maybe third episode and kind of
sprinkling he is he is
140
00:09:26,300 --> 00:09:30,900
surrounded by some idiots, King
Uther being one of the shooters
141
00:09:30,900 --> 00:09:38,500
dumb if there's a product that
is everything as it is and I
142
00:09:38,500 --> 00:09:41,000
forgot all about that.
Until I started going back
143
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,700
through my old show notes.
And I was like, I was telling I
144
00:09:44,700 --> 00:09:48,300
was telling Anthony and Laurie.
Before you got all my I said, I
145
00:09:48,300 --> 00:09:52,600
feel like we probably need
another week to go, to go back
146
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,200
and re-watch stuff, because I'm
going through my notes and I'm
147
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:59,800
like, there is so much that I
forgot about this show, that was
148
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,300
fun.
Like, I remember how much we
149
00:10:01,300 --> 00:10:08,300
hated sister Iris, she was cause
she was a nun, who was very
150
00:10:08,300 --> 00:10:12,600
jealous and also I think I think
it was almost even how much we
151
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,100
hate a sister Iris in front of
the card and like it was based.
152
00:10:15,100 --> 00:10:17,100
It was kind of it was almost
neck to neck.
153
00:10:17,300 --> 00:10:19,400
Yeah.
So you know in any of these
154
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:24,000
types of stories you always have
the religious zealots who are
155
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,600
trying to eradicate kill,
whatever a certain type of
156
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,500
people and this show was no
different.
157
00:10:30,500 --> 00:10:36,300
We had father Cardin and the red
Paladin's who were a religious
158
00:10:37,100 --> 00:10:40,100
cleansing group, I guess is the
best way to put it.
159
00:10:40,500 --> 00:10:44,500
Mmm there.
Their mission was to eliminate
160
00:10:44,500 --> 00:10:48,600
the fame because the PHA wasn't
you know I don't know.
161
00:10:49,700 --> 00:10:53,300
And I'm natural.
They never they never really
162
00:10:53,300 --> 00:10:58,700
explained why not?
Really no I think I think in the
163
00:10:58,700 --> 00:11:01,800
first episode we kind of get the
gist because when we meet father
164
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:06,600
Cardin he's sitting there with
one of the FAE and the PHA is
165
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:12,300
divided into different Factions
or groups in this.
166
00:11:12,300 --> 00:11:16,400
So you have like the moon phase
and you have the, the forest,
167
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,200
just all these different types.
And he's sitting there talking
168
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,300
to a little boy, he's talking
about how unnatural and how, you
169
00:11:23,300 --> 00:11:25,700
know, they're meant to cleanse
the Earth and blah, blah blah.
170
00:11:25,700 --> 00:11:29,600
He touches the little boy's hand
with the leaf, and the little
171
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,500
boy starts to turn green because
that's kind of interesting, you
172
00:11:33,500 --> 00:11:38,000
know, which branch or which
tribe he's part of, and it was
173
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:42,600
just from there.
Ron, like he made me hated that
174
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:47,100
scene, oh my God, our Villages
and to kill fat and it was just
175
00:11:47,100 --> 00:11:52,800
one of those where you route to
hate someone and you root for
176
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,900
someone to die and he was just
one of those characters that we
177
00:11:56,900 --> 00:11:59,200
just did.
He agree that we hate it.
178
00:12:00,500 --> 00:12:03,400
And the show this show, did it
show did a good job of
179
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:09,500
establishing that he's not to be
like like from the instant we
180
00:12:09,500 --> 00:12:12,700
meet and we're like this.
Like the shows like this is for
181
00:12:12,700 --> 00:12:15,600
the card, you don't like him,
you will not like him.
182
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,200
So just go ahead and get your
hate ready right now.
183
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,000
I was like, fuck like it, like
right off the bat, just like he
184
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,000
just sitting there with a little
boys talking and then he's like,
185
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,900
yes.
And summer goes in and then some
186
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,800
are young.
Then they snatched a boy of I'm
187
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:37,400
like, oh God, like really
irritate the fuck up.
188
00:12:37,500 --> 00:12:42,900
Well, I think when I was editing
our will of Time episode 4, the
189
00:12:42,900 --> 00:12:46,300
first, I think it was the second
episode.
190
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,500
We were talking about meeting
the character of valda.
191
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,400
And we mentioned, we were like,
yeah, he's like the father
192
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,200
Cardinal this show.
So we like really hate this
193
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,100
character, but there were other
characters.
194
00:12:59,100 --> 00:13:01,200
Like, like we mentioned, And
sister, Iris.
195
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:07,600
She was a nun.
Who was who was working in the
196
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:15,400
sour raised in the same Convent
as Morgana in this show and she
197
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,000
wants to be a disciple of the
red Paladin, so bad, but the rip
198
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,500
paladins don't allow women, of
course, they don't.
199
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,100
But I mean not that I'm mad
because of who they are, but
200
00:13:25,100 --> 00:13:28,600
she's one of those people where
she was so evil.
201
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,500
She was like, okay, this is This
is, this is my calling.
202
00:13:31,500 --> 00:13:35,300
This is what I'm supposed to do
and she spends the majority of
203
00:13:35,300 --> 00:13:40,500
the show, going after them away.
She kills her, you know, she
204
00:13:40,500 --> 00:13:44,200
sets fire to the convent kills
her, her fellow sisters, and the
205
00:13:44,208 --> 00:13:49,100
Mother Superior and it He was
one of those characters were, we
206
00:13:49,100 --> 00:13:53,000
were like, she's so fucking
evil, but she was so young.
207
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,200
That was the thing.
We were like, we almost feel
208
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:56,400
bad.
Yeah.
209
00:13:56,700 --> 00:13:59,200
Because she's a young, she's a
young girl.
210
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:04,400
Like she has to be maybe 1617
somewhere around that she was so
211
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:09,500
freaking evil.
But You know, like I said it was
212
00:14:10,500 --> 00:14:16,500
the story is a coming-of-age
story for them away because, you
213
00:14:16,500 --> 00:14:20,600
know, she when she was a young
girl when she was around five
214
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:28,100
years old, she was attacked by a
demon possessed bear and it left
215
00:14:28,100 --> 00:14:32,200
its mark on her and she was
basically shunned in her
216
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,900
Village, you know?
They they bullied her, they
217
00:14:34,900 --> 00:14:36,900
called her people.
They said, did we?
218
00:14:37,900 --> 00:14:39,900
Was he confirmed?
It was a demon.
219
00:14:41,100 --> 00:14:44,700
Well demon, I think he was a
spirits.
220
00:14:45,100 --> 00:14:47,300
Well, that's what they called
it.
221
00:14:47,300 --> 00:14:49,500
And I mean the thing had red
eyes.
222
00:14:49,500 --> 00:14:53,700
So let me appeal is this the
easiest way to, I think that's
223
00:14:53,700 --> 00:14:58,200
when they kind of called it but
it wasn't necessarily a bad
224
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:03,400
thing.
Like It was it was just I forgot
225
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,700
what they called it but they
were like it was trying to
226
00:15:05,700 --> 00:15:08,300
conceal.
It was trying to gather magic
227
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:18,400
the hidden that their magical
source is here and you know it's
228
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:22,800
like one of those things where
Depending on how you look at it,
229
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,300
she could have been chosen
because I think the hidden chose
230
00:15:26,300 --> 00:15:29,300
her for specific purpose.
It didn't.
231
00:15:29,300 --> 00:15:34,200
And we see that Fe in the first
episode because they have a they
232
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,900
have a ceremony because the what
they call the Summoner of the
233
00:15:37,900 --> 00:15:41,400
village had passed on and they
were looking for the hidden to
234
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,900
choose a new summer Summoner and
it chose Nimoy and them away is
235
00:15:45,900 --> 00:15:49,400
like, I don't want this, they
don't even like me here.
236
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,400
They don't want me here.
They've never wanted me here,
237
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,600
and she runs away.
And when she runs away, this is
238
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,800
where she meets up with Arthur.
This is also where she kind of
239
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:04,200
exposes herself for being fake
because she gets into a gambling
240
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:09,200
match with somebody who is a
Cutthroat and she kind of uses
241
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,000
her powers to win this gambling
match.
242
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,400
And when he realizes that she's
Fae, you know, of course, they
243
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,900
call her wish they'd chase her
out.
244
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,900
And so this is how she kind of
meets up with Arthur.
245
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,400
She spends time at this point
running from the red paladins.
246
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,800
Of course, the red Palin is not
going from Village to Village
247
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,600
killing all of the PHA and
setting fire to their Villages.
248
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:40,000
So the red Paladin show up at
nimma, ways Village and of
249
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,900
course they attack and kill a
lot of the people.
250
00:16:43,300 --> 00:16:47,500
They they kill her mother.
And you know while her mother is
251
00:16:47,500 --> 00:16:50,300
dying or before her mother's
died, she gives her this sword
252
00:16:50,300 --> 00:16:55,600
and Tasks her with returning to
sort of Merlin at this point.
253
00:16:55,600 --> 00:17:00,200
Merlin is amidst, most people.
And as we mentioned, he has lost
254
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,800
his powers when we first meet
him, like he hasn't had his
255
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:08,400
powers and like 16 years.
So it's one of those things
256
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,400
where she has to go on this
journey to find him.
257
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,700
And of course, as she's on the
journey to find him.
258
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,099
She finds out things about
herself, like the fact that
259
00:17:15,099 --> 00:17:19,700
Merlin is actually her father
and, you know, the the sword is
260
00:17:19,700 --> 00:17:24,700
the source of Merlin's Our.
But when he has the sword, he it
261
00:17:24,700 --> 00:17:28,800
kind of takes over him and to
the point where he starts doing,
262
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,800
maybe not straight evil again.
I didn't get a chance to like
263
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:39,200
really re-watch so you do know.
He was bad.
264
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,000
He was abusive bad.
Bad person.
265
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:46,700
Oh my give it no.
Yeah he killed like a see killed
266
00:17:46,700 --> 00:17:49,200
cities.
He was like a bad mother fucker
267
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:54,100
like he was he Was damn near.
I mean, he was like, like, Omni
268
00:17:54,100 --> 00:17:56,600
powerful like thank you.
Was overpowered the way they
269
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,500
showed how he how he destroyed
it.
270
00:17:58,500 --> 00:18:01,700
As he like, he was just like I
mean that she was ridiculous.
271
00:18:01,700 --> 00:18:02,800
I remember that.
Yeah.
272
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:07,100
Yes and it's like he's if you
are fan of Lord of the Rings
273
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,600
it's almost like the sword was
like the one ring.
274
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:18,600
Yes he's like a discount Sauron
has a ring and all of a sudden
275
00:18:18,900 --> 00:18:23,800
he wants to dominate everybody.
Group, do families, and babies,
276
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:28,000
and all this stuff.
You know, it almost in a way the
277
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,800
sword starts to influence them
away, as well.
278
00:18:31,100 --> 00:18:35,700
In the same way, because we seem
like she starts having instances
279
00:18:35,700 --> 00:18:39,400
where she blacks out when she's
using the sword, and she gets
280
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,600
very violent.
Usually in self-defense.
281
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:49,600
Like the first time, we see her
use the sword, she is fighting
282
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,400
off these huge.
Wolves that are trying to attack
283
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:57,100
her.
And to the point where They
284
00:18:57,100 --> 00:19:01,800
start naming her or rather
father Cardon nicknames, heard
285
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,400
the wolf blood, which because
they're like, okay, one woman
286
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,000
did this know.
She had a powerful sword with
287
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,400
her.
Then next time we see her use
288
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,900
her power with the sword, which
we think she used the sword but
289
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,200
you know it's when one of the
red Paladin's is attacking her.
290
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:22,600
He's trying to choke her to
death and we see her start to
291
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:26,200
use her hidden powers and it
kind of manifests itself in
292
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,000
life.
Leaves showing up.
293
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:34,400
Like Vines think, think the more
recent version of Carrie, where
294
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,900
she has the black, the black
veins that show up when she uses
295
00:19:37,900 --> 00:19:43,300
her power, or when she starts,
the telekinesis them away is the
296
00:19:43,300 --> 00:19:46,100
same.
But when we see her again, after
297
00:19:46,100 --> 00:19:49,400
she blacks out, the sword has
been taken out of it.
298
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,800
And I'm like, how does she do
that?
299
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,200
What she doesn't know either,
but the next time we see that
300
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:58,300
red Paladin, he is in a tree.
Tree and the roots of the tree
301
00:19:58,300 --> 00:20:03,400
had been Twisted in him and you
know the people at the convent,
302
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,900
have a very hard time getting
those routes out of him.
303
00:20:05,900 --> 00:20:15,300
So yeah and it was I thought it
was kind of interesting seeing
304
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:21,200
You know, a lot of the times
when we see the stories of
305
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:26,600
author, at least the ones that I
have seen, you know, Mike, I
306
00:20:26,608 --> 00:20:30,600
know you mentioned him earlier
in the episode where you said,
307
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,800
you know he's been depicted like
in the beginning, when we meet
308
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,300
him, he's a thief.
He's a Cutthroat.
309
00:20:37,500 --> 00:20:43,300
He's, he's been banished or I
won't say, but ya know, he was
310
00:20:43,300 --> 00:20:46,000
banished.
He was banished from his home by
311
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,000
his uncle.
Who was the ruler, you know?
312
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,900
Because he got into some fights,
he stole he did out this other
313
00:20:52,900 --> 00:20:58,000
stuff, but I think author has
always been kind of one of those
314
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:02,900
characters that is I don't want
to say morally ambiguous
315
00:21:02,900 --> 00:21:09,000
ambiguous but he he's never been
a character that's just good.
316
00:21:09,300 --> 00:21:11,100
You know.
There, there are Shades of Grey
317
00:21:11,100 --> 00:21:15,900
to his character.
If you look at a lot of the
318
00:21:15,900 --> 00:21:22,600
tales like the Camelot series
that I love with Jamie Campbell
319
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:28,300
Bower you know he has his nights
and his loyal servants and he
320
00:21:28,300 --> 00:21:32,800
falls in love with the betrothed
of one of Them you know, you see
321
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:39,100
him going out and even though I
don't consider this evil, he
322
00:21:39,100 --> 00:21:41,500
goes out and search for this
Holy Grail and just kind of
323
00:21:41,500 --> 00:21:44,000
leaves his country to been for
themselves.
324
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,900
It's kind of like he's always
had been this, this character
325
00:21:47,900 --> 00:21:52,700
that's kind of and I like the
fact that even though name away
326
00:21:52,700 --> 00:21:56,200
is not his character, they still
show kind of that conflict with
327
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,600
her.
Whereas okay, she can be a good
328
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,500
person.
But she also has his Darkness to
329
00:22:00,500 --> 00:22:07,400
her. and I just, I thought that
was fascinating because You see
330
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:12,600
the different challenges?
She has in the show, as far as
331
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:18,000
wanting to wanting to kind of
give up the sword wanting to
332
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,800
kind of hide from the red
paladins, not wanting to, she
333
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,600
doesn't want to become this
leader that, you know, she
334
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,900
eventually becomes and it's just
one of those things where it's
335
00:22:27,900 --> 00:22:35,800
kind of like, okay, You asked
the question of whether her not
336
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,600
wanting to serve even though
it's kind of her Destiny.
337
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,800
What is that selfish or is it
something that she supposed to
338
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,200
do?
Because for lack of better words
339
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,800
with great power comes great
responsibility, you know.
340
00:22:50,300 --> 00:22:54,700
But I don't know Laura, you've
been a little quiet.
341
00:22:54,700 --> 00:23:00,100
What are you thinking about
cursed like what was I think we
342
00:23:00,100 --> 00:23:03,000
covered?
This show and 20/20.
343
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:07,300
So it's been a little over two
years now, and I know you
344
00:23:07,300 --> 00:23:10,400
haven't had a chance, like, go
back and re-watch the show, but
345
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:14,200
the little bits that you've
seen, What are you thinking?
346
00:23:14,700 --> 00:23:19,100
I'm looking at this and I forgot
about her best friend, you know
347
00:23:19,100 --> 00:23:23,100
the one that turns out him.
I love him.
348
00:23:23,500 --> 00:23:32,800
Turns out to be the bad girl and
I'm thinking okay I miss this
349
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:37,300
because we were so excited not
for the season but for what we
350
00:23:37,300 --> 00:23:40,100
were going to get in the next
season.
351
00:23:40,300 --> 00:23:43,700
Mmm, this is the problem.
You have with Netflix because
352
00:23:43,700 --> 00:23:47,500
Netflix is sort of like their
pox all over again.
353
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,400
They don't give shows enough
time to get an audience.
354
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:54,200
And I think that if this would
have debuted a little bit later
355
00:23:54,200 --> 00:24:00,000
on in the pandemic, it might
have had a better chance to come
356
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,400
back but it got cancelled early
on because this thing was so
357
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,800
awesome.
But the same time yesterday was
358
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,700
a lot of problems.
Yes, there was different things
359
00:24:09,700 --> 00:24:13,600
going on.
But all in all All if you want
360
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:17,800
all the tropes to hit, you want
all the different types of our
361
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:22,200
Theory and themes to hit.
This was pretty much perfect,
362
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:26,300
but it doesn't hold up at the
same time because like I said,
363
00:24:26,300 --> 00:24:30,300
if we had never seen Shadow and
bone, this probably would have
364
00:24:30,300 --> 00:24:33,400
been my ish.
I can't I can't agree with that.
365
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:39,200
It that it was almost perfect.
I just can't because You know,
366
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:46,300
big, there's some things that
like Lancelot being fake and
367
00:24:46,300 --> 00:24:48,100
possibly get to the, yeah, we
go.
368
00:24:48,500 --> 00:24:58,800
Okay, you know, I don't know,
he's like, I keep thinking that
369
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,500
we were going to probably find
out if the sort of power was it
370
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:09,900
may be Excalibur.
Because of his connection to
371
00:25:09,900 --> 00:25:13,400
Merlin.
And we know that a is caliber is
372
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,700
more or less connected to the
Lady of the Lake.
373
00:25:15,700 --> 00:25:19,600
So maybe she comes up with her
own swear, we'll we'll never
374
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,900
know.
But, I mean, you got to remember
375
00:25:21,900 --> 00:25:27,500
the way that the way that the
show ended was Nim away falling
376
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:38,700
into the river, even that far
you know to I'm late overweight
377
00:25:38,700 --> 00:25:45,300
because in most in some versions
of the King Arthur tail and then
378
00:25:45,300 --> 00:25:48,600
way raised Lancelot after his
father died.
379
00:25:48,900 --> 00:25:52,800
Hmm.
Now maybe this show was going to
380
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:57,000
take a little different take on
it since father, Cardin with his
381
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:02,000
father and he's dead.
So maybe now she's going to sort
382
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,400
of, instead of being with
author.
383
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,300
She's gonna be with Lancelot in
season 2.
384
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,700
Maybe that was the plan with him
and Percival.
385
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,400
That would have been weird
though.
386
00:26:12,900 --> 00:26:16,600
I mean, okay.
So but do you see what do you
387
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:17,700
see?
I'm Goin with this.
388
00:26:17,700 --> 00:26:23,400
Like they've already perverted
the whole of thorium thing, you
389
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:28,700
know it's like I say I actually
liked the concept, this is some
390
00:26:28,700 --> 00:26:31,800
things just a little strange
like what they did with the
391
00:26:32,300 --> 00:26:37,300
sword out going great Gawain and
the Green Knight green.
392
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,400
I'm like, he's dead, but he's,
he's probably not dead.
393
00:26:41,500 --> 00:26:44,700
She really fight.
He's also think it's like how
394
00:26:44,700 --> 00:26:47,700
many Roundtable nights are going
to be Fae.
395
00:26:47,700 --> 00:26:51,700
And author is not like we'll see
you look at it like this.
396
00:26:51,700 --> 00:26:54,500
It's like that.
The maybe this is a way to
397
00:26:54,500 --> 00:26:58,400
explain in the lore.
How authors, how the Knights of
398
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,600
the Round Table could defeat
everybody.
399
00:27:00,900 --> 00:27:02,700
We're like, well, okay, there
were Faith.
400
00:27:02,900 --> 00:27:07,300
So they had a natural Advantage.
So if I do it as one say I do,
401
00:27:07,500 --> 00:27:12,400
Amber us going to the it's they
liked the episode before last
402
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,900
year like they, you were like,
they better not say that the
403
00:27:15,900 --> 00:27:19,100
Weeping night is is Landslide.
He's like, you were like they
404
00:27:19,100 --> 00:27:21,900
better not an hour.
I remember you saying that.
405
00:27:21,900 --> 00:27:24,700
I was like, oh shit.
I was like, they're probably
406
00:27:24,700 --> 00:27:26,500
gonna say that shit.
I see it down here.
407
00:27:26,500 --> 00:27:29,900
It's gonna be sad, really,
because I thought, but then it's
408
00:27:29,900 --> 00:27:32,200
like they bounce.
Because, like, they had the kind
409
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,700
of cool revealed that squirrel
was Percival, where I was like,
410
00:27:36,300 --> 00:27:37,900
okay, I'm kind of go along.
With that.
411
00:27:38,100 --> 00:27:40,200
But then he then he, he said,
what's your name?
412
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:49,100
I was like, oh shit.
Squirrel squirrel was one of our
413
00:27:49,100 --> 00:27:52,800
favorite characters and after
re-watching the first two
414
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:56,300
episodes I still say he's one of
my favorite characters and he's
415
00:27:56,300 --> 00:27:57,700
one of the reasons why I was
pissed.
416
00:27:57,700 --> 00:28:01,600
The show did not come back
because yeah, smartass mouth to
417
00:28:01,700 --> 00:28:06,400
he did but he was so brave.
I mean, squirrel, probably was
418
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:12,300
what maybe a 9 in the show and
you have use Noble.
419
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,700
Yeah.
Yeah, you haven't been taken
420
00:28:14,700 --> 00:28:19,100
hostage by the Weeping monk, who
is basically?
421
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:24,100
He is this mysterious character
who does most of the father card
422
00:28:24,100 --> 00:28:29,100
is bidding when it comes to not
only killing phase but he has
423
00:28:29,100 --> 00:28:32,300
this unnatural ability of being
able to find them.
424
00:28:32,300 --> 00:28:36,300
And of course later on in this
in the show like towards the end
425
00:28:36,300 --> 00:28:40,100
of the season, we find out that
the Weeping monk was actually
426
00:28:40,100 --> 00:28:45,400
fake and, you know, there's a,
there's a scene where after
427
00:28:45,900 --> 00:28:50,700
nimma ways Village who which was
also squirrels Village, he was
428
00:28:50,700 --> 00:28:54,700
one of them away his little
friends and after their Village
429
00:28:54,700 --> 00:28:59,700
was burned, he was waiting in
the wood, for them away and the
430
00:28:59,700 --> 00:29:03,700
Weeping monk actually catches
him, and he's just sitting there
431
00:29:03,700 --> 00:29:08,700
and squirrel is just going off
on him Hurley We insults, he
432
00:29:08,700 --> 00:29:11,300
spits on them.
He was like, yeah.
433
00:29:12,700 --> 00:29:14,400
They're going to find you and
blah blah blah.
434
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,900
I mean, this little kid, has
some spunk.
435
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:23,100
Yeah, he was one of my favorite
parts of this show but yeah it's
436
00:29:23,100 --> 00:29:30,100
kind of like what you said as
far as the nice being off a and
437
00:29:30,100 --> 00:29:33,000
say all I'm saying.
But most of them I mean, think
438
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:34,900
about it.
Like you said Gawain was Faye.
439
00:29:35,100 --> 00:29:38,000
We find out there.
Lancelot was actually the
440
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,600
Weeping Monk and he was faced a
squirrel was person.
441
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,600
Ville.
He will stay, and it's just kind
442
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,000
of like, I'm trying to think
they're there.
443
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,800
Did we meet any others?
No.
444
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,700
Because I think we thought that
they would probably show up in
445
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:58,400
in the s bedivere and I can't
remember.
446
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:04,200
I had a yeah go ahead yeah.
Some of the ones I can't think
447
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:09,000
of the names right now, right.
But I thought that it was
448
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,100
interesting that they made them
Faye and then like you said,
449
00:30:12,100 --> 00:30:15,900
author is just this regular
human at least as far as we knew
450
00:30:16,300 --> 00:30:19,100
you know he had the only thing I
could think of was that he would
451
00:30:19,100 --> 00:30:24,100
be he would he was sort of
combine the world's You know,
452
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:28,500
and I think that's the direction
we're going because towards the
453
00:30:28,500 --> 00:30:31,700
end, he was actually the one
that was trying to get the faith
454
00:30:31,700 --> 00:30:33,500
to safety.
He was trying to get them out of
455
00:30:33,500 --> 00:30:37,800
their lands and and across the
seas so that they would be safe
456
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:45,700
and here isn't it would have
been like oh you're right,
457
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,200
you're right.
Oh yeah, after this is after
458
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:53,400
he's already like hooked up with
them away but um, yeah.
459
00:30:53,500 --> 00:30:58,700
Yeah, I just really wanted with
his want to see how office is
460
00:30:58,700 --> 00:31:01,800
gonna play out.
You know, he's got this love
461
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,900
affair with Nim way, and then
the woman that he's eventually
462
00:31:05,900 --> 00:31:11,000
going to marry, you know, and
Guinevere or maybe they would
463
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,200
had Guinevere hook up with
Lancelot, you mean, somehow end
464
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:18,700
up with author and then chilled
off with Landslide it.
465
00:31:18,700 --> 00:31:21,900
Then how does then we feed in
August this is all.
466
00:31:21,900 --> 00:31:24,100
I don't know.
The more I think about Realign
467
00:31:24,100 --> 00:31:26,400
them away was going to become
the Lady of the Lake.
468
00:31:26,500 --> 00:31:32,100
Yeah, see you.
But at some point she is but you
469
00:31:32,100 --> 00:31:35,300
know the chart charting these
shows.
470
00:31:35,300 --> 00:31:39,300
They go like six seasons, maybe
five seasons.
471
00:31:40,100 --> 00:31:42,600
This one probably went five,
maybe seven.
472
00:31:42,900 --> 00:31:44,200
Right?
Yeah.
473
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:48,300
Some point.
But between this point and her
474
00:31:48,300 --> 00:31:51,800
becoming a hated the lake,
there's so many other things
475
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,400
that you either.
Sort of have to happen or you
476
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,800
have to imply that happens?
Yeah, I mean, because it's some
477
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:03,000
point Arthur as to become king
and he's going to marry.
478
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,700
I mean, if they're gonna, if
you're gonna do Authority in
479
00:32:05,700 --> 00:32:09,400
legend, or you gonna do our
thorian, tail author.
480
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,800
Looks at week, one of year,
period, right?
481
00:32:12,900 --> 00:32:14,900
That's the big one of your has
an affair.
482
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,900
Isn't she have any feelings that
dude?
483
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:22,400
This is how it goes, right?
You're right in author.
484
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,200
Has to sleep with this.
Stir and have a child.
485
00:32:26,300 --> 00:32:30,100
It's you know, which would not
have worked well in this story
486
00:32:30,100 --> 00:32:34,400
because author and Morgan are
actually like, very close.
487
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:42,300
Morgana is a nun who she has an
interesting tale.
488
00:32:42,500 --> 00:32:48,300
Well she deceives him to sleep
with him so if you like stories.
489
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:53,100
Yeah, but I mean, in this one I
think it would have been weird.
490
00:32:53,100 --> 00:32:57,400
Well, Well, it wouldn't be a
weird one because Morgana was
491
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,700
very, obviously a lesbian in
this one.
492
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:04,000
She had a girlfriend and that
was one of the things that kind
493
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:08,300
of I won't say contributed to
the convent being burned down
494
00:33:08,300 --> 00:33:11,100
but sister Iris was looking at
her like oh you're evil.
495
00:33:11,700 --> 00:33:14,300
You're part of this evil thing.
Oh, and your friends with this
496
00:33:14,300 --> 00:33:15,400
face a, you've been.
Yeah.
497
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,300
Okay, yeah.
So we need to take care of you.
498
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,200
We need to take care of all of
these people because the nuns
499
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,100
were help.
You know, they were safeguarding
500
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:27,100
Them away even though some of
the like I think the Mother
501
00:33:27,100 --> 00:33:32,600
Superior maybe a couple of other
nuns knew she was Faye, they hid
502
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:37,400
her from the red Paladin's and
sister Iris was like, oh no,
503
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,600
we're not doing that.
So all of y'all are going to
504
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,200
hell.
I'm going to burn all of you to
505
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,200
the ground.
Oh fucking sister Iris who that
506
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:51,500
little starting to remember and
listen oh she was just pissed me
507
00:33:51,500 --> 00:33:54,800
off.
Little something.
508
00:33:55,100 --> 00:33:58,100
That's right.
They had the whole girl with the
509
00:33:58,100 --> 00:33:59,600
magic and taking over the my
yeah.
510
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,300
It's coming back to me now to
choose misguided.
511
00:34:02,300 --> 00:34:04,100
She wasn't evil.
Yeah.
512
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:08,100
She's an evil Snowden.
I was like, she's a little kiss
513
00:34:08,100 --> 00:34:13,100
and it's like she not only burnt
the convent down, like the
514
00:34:13,100 --> 00:34:17,600
doors, locked the doors, and
lots of the doors so that they
515
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,699
couldn't get out.
Yeah, that bitch was evil.
516
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:29,000
She's evil But yeah, well just
because he had a relationship
517
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,400
with the woman doesn't
necessarily make her a lesbian
518
00:34:32,300 --> 00:34:37,000
and also we don't know.
We don't know what, we don't
519
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,600
know what happens.
Like we wouldn't have known how
520
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:45,500
becoming the daughter of death
with affected her rifle State.
521
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:50,300
Anyway, You know me, I'm so mad
that we will find this.
522
00:34:51,100 --> 00:34:56,100
Like, I was really interested to
see where this was going to go,
523
00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:01,500
but she does have to deceive.
Arthur, could have a baby with
524
00:35:01,500 --> 00:35:04,200
him.
The baby grows up to fight him
525
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,000
and kill him.
So this is how it goes.
526
00:35:07,700 --> 00:35:10,900
Yeah, that would have been
interesting to see what this but
527
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,900
I don't know.
I haven't read the book that the
528
00:35:14,900 --> 00:35:17,200
show is based on.
I've been meaning to Like pick
529
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:20,600
it up and read it just to see if
it goes any further.
530
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,400
But I don't, I don't think this
one.
531
00:35:24,500 --> 00:35:29,700
I don't think, I think it's only
one book that I know of so I
532
00:35:29,700 --> 00:35:32,700
don't know how far they, they
may have planned to take the
533
00:35:32,700 --> 00:35:35,400
show.
I don't know if I see it.
534
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,600
Going five or six seasons.
Like it may have done a second
535
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:40,400
season may have done, maybe
three.
536
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,300
And of course they probably
would have just kind of rushed
537
00:35:44,300 --> 00:35:46,600
the story along as far as memoed
be.
538
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:52,100
Coming lady in the lake but I
still feel like it had the
539
00:35:52,100 --> 00:35:55,900
potential to be a great show.
Like it was a fun show and we
540
00:35:55,900 --> 00:35:58,000
watched.
And of course, like you said,
541
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,400
this was in the midst of the
pandemic.
542
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,500
Like we started this podcast,
September of 2020.
543
00:36:03,700 --> 00:36:07,000
I think the first time we talked
about the show, I think, Mike
544
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,800
and I discussed it in like
August because we were like,
545
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:14,000
okay, we're going to watch this
show and we're gonna, you know,
546
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:18,600
do an episode because this was
of what, when we were trying to
547
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:22,200
figure out what we were going to
be as a show and Mike and I try
548
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:27,600
to discuss the whole season in
one episode and we did a to our
549
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,700
recording.
And when I went to edit it, I
550
00:36:29,707 --> 00:36:33,800
was like, we didn't even touch
the surface of all the stuff
551
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,000
that was going on in the show,
which is how we decided to start
552
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:41,500
doing episodic episodes.
Just so we can kind of get into
553
00:36:41,500 --> 00:36:45,200
the meat and potatoes of, you
know what's going on.
554
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,900
But it The potential to be a
really, really great show.
555
00:36:48,900 --> 00:36:51,300
And unfortunately, I hate to say
it.
556
00:36:51,900 --> 00:36:55,600
The several shows that have to
do with like these types of
557
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,300
Tails and whatever.
I feel like they weren't given a
558
00:36:58,300 --> 00:36:59,900
chance.
Again, I'm going to mention
559
00:36:59,900 --> 00:37:02,100
Camelot because we will be
talking about this show.
560
00:37:02,100 --> 00:37:05,400
If I have anything to say about
it, that was one of the show's.
561
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,300
I absolutely loved and I was
like, oh I'm so excited.
562
00:37:08,300 --> 00:37:11,000
They need to do a second season
and then of course they canceled
563
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,900
it and I'm just like, you know
that shows a chance.
564
00:37:14,900 --> 00:37:17,100
You know, I understand I can
Stand.
565
00:37:17,100 --> 00:37:21,700
If, if the show was horrible and
your numbers were horrible.
566
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,100
But if you see that people have
an interest about if people are
567
00:37:25,100 --> 00:37:28,800
talking about it, yeah it may
not be a Game of Thrones or may
568
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,600
not be the last of us or
anything like that, but if the
569
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:36,700
interest is there giving you the
show a chance to find its
570
00:37:36,700 --> 00:37:39,200
footing?
You know, sometimes you can't do
571
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,500
that with just one season.
There are a lot of shows that
572
00:37:42,700 --> 00:37:46,600
have ended after one season that
were great show.
573
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:52,800
Oath and have the potential to
be even better, you know, but I
574
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:56,600
don't know.
I I just this one is nostalgic
575
00:37:56,600 --> 00:38:00,300
for me, I think more so because
like I said this was kind of one
576
00:38:00,300 --> 00:38:04,900
of our starting points as a
podcast and we had a lot of fun
577
00:38:04,900 --> 00:38:09,600
discussing is like we had a lot
of fun discussing you but it is
578
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:13,300
interesting.
Going back and revisiting it
579
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,600
after some time has passed to
see whether or not it, huh?
580
00:38:16,700 --> 00:38:19,400
Holds up to the way that we
liked it at first.
581
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:20,700
And that's not just with this
show.
582
00:38:20,700 --> 00:38:24,000
I found that with a lot of
shows, like there's some shows
583
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,300
that I watch, and when I go
back, I have a different
584
00:38:26,300 --> 00:38:29,800
perspective on it, whether it's
a good perspective or a bad
585
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,400
perspective, like, oh, this
show, really wasn't as great as
586
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:36,000
I thought it was, or maybe to
show wasn't as bad as I thought
587
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,200
it was.
You know, it happens every once
588
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,300
in a while.
I still like what I remember
589
00:38:41,300 --> 00:38:44,300
about the show.
But yeah, I'm kind of bummed it
590
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,100
that we didn't get a second
season.
591
00:38:46,700 --> 00:38:50,600
I do appreciate.
Oh, I do appreciate the thorian
592
00:38:51,300 --> 00:38:54,800
stuff because you know, we can
never have too much.
593
00:38:54,900 --> 00:38:57,800
Like right, you know, we the
spreadsheet.
594
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:01,000
I'm sitting there, I'm entering
the ones that I like and then I
595
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:07,500
found all the ones that I don't
like talking about anyone elses
596
00:39:07,500 --> 00:39:13,600
list, but, you know, there's
some some pretty bad ones on
597
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,400
there.
Look, I'm still pissed.
598
00:39:16,700 --> 00:39:19,500
That we didn't get a second
season and I will forever be
599
00:39:19,500 --> 00:39:21,800
pissed because I was getting
into it.
600
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:25,400
I was fully invested in this
series like the whole time.
601
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:30,000
Just like, I mean Merlin Merlin
was like really intriguing to me
602
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:34,800
the way they portrayed him as
where they gave him like a mini
603
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,900
Redemption Arc where he's like a
drunk ne'er-do-well.
604
00:39:38,100 --> 00:39:40,700
He can't do any magic.
Then he comes around and
605
00:39:40,700 --> 00:39:45,900
realizes that he has a daughter
and he tries to actually be a
606
00:39:45,900 --> 00:39:49,000
good father.
Or in his own way and then it's
607
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:52,800
like, you didn't you go back and
you see where he came from, like
608
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:58,900
he was actually a bad person and
he actually came back from that
609
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:02,800
like you know and that's like
and that's something that is
610
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,900
like not really told in most
author Ian Tails.
611
00:40:05,900 --> 00:40:09,000
It's like they never really say
that he was evil and he killed
612
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:10,300
people.
It's like you don't really hear
613
00:40:10,300 --> 00:40:13,000
that.
In most Arthurian Tales is like,
614
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:18,800
usually, he's just a magician
and he's like, oh well, I think
615
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:23,100
in this one, he character a lot
of times because if you think
616
00:40:23,100 --> 00:40:26,500
about the the many City, the
Merlin miniseries, they came out
617
00:40:26,500 --> 00:40:33,700
in the 90s.
I mean he did Why did my mind
618
00:40:33,700 --> 00:40:36,900
just go blank?
But basically he used the spell
619
00:40:36,900 --> 00:40:45,600
to disguise someone To be Gwen
Wayne's husband so that he could
620
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:51,400
bet her and I was like wait so
oh this is this is horrible,
621
00:40:53,300 --> 00:40:58,600
there's a but there's a there's
a difference between helping
622
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:00,400
somebody commits adultery and
killing people.
623
00:41:00,700 --> 00:41:02,700
Yeah.
Don't you see?
624
00:41:02,700 --> 00:41:06,900
He's like he's starts off like
this one.
625
00:41:06,900 --> 00:41:10,500
They just take it to an extreme.
He starts off as good with good.
626
00:41:11,500 --> 00:41:16,700
And use perverted somehow in the
things to him.
627
00:41:16,700 --> 00:41:21,600
Did not necessarily bad they're
just you know the means to an
628
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:27,100
end here that think this one.
If I'm not mistaken something
629
00:41:27,100 --> 00:41:32,000
happened and the fake-out upset.
So they attack room.
630
00:41:33,500 --> 00:41:37,800
It was something weird but he
wasn't he didn't.
631
00:41:37,900 --> 00:41:40,400
He just got corrupted.
He didn't start off.
632
00:41:40,500 --> 00:41:44,400
His eat when he's right, but we,
but we didn't realize he was
633
00:41:44,700 --> 00:41:48,200
evil and tried to stop it.
What it was like, he was forced
634
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,300
to.
I mean, there's, there's several
635
00:41:50,300 --> 00:41:54,300
fantasy novels that they were,
they take the Mage that is
636
00:41:54,300 --> 00:41:57,800
either lawful good neutral or
good, and they slowly, or
637
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,600
forcefully, turn them into being
bad.
638
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:01,800
And that's exactly what they
did.
639
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,800
They use that Trope where he was
his back, was up against the
640
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,800
wall, he had to do something,
and it was a bad, and he just
641
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,400
never got back from cap.
But the thing that I found one,
642
00:42:10,500 --> 00:42:14,800
I forgot about this which was
interesting is that this series
643
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:18,300
did something that a lot of
them, don't it really did not
644
00:42:18,300 --> 00:42:22,700
focus on Arthur at all.
I mean we got Arthur but you've
645
00:42:22,700 --> 00:42:25,600
got Nimble a, you've got, you've
got Merlin, you've got everyone
646
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:29,300
else and it was a very
interesting take because I think
647
00:42:29,300 --> 00:42:31,900
that this is something that we
hadn't seen before or very
648
00:42:31,900 --> 00:42:35,800
rarely and like they're showing
the kid, like the little kid
649
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,300
with the Elvish, the kid that
she sings.
650
00:42:38,500 --> 00:42:40,100
Remember, they went back.
Yes.
651
00:42:40,500 --> 00:42:43,500
They went back into the cave
with the people and she's
652
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:46,400
declaring herself to be, you
know, basically the queen of
653
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:49,700
all.
I mean it was a very interesting
654
00:42:49,700 --> 00:42:51,700
take with everything that they
did.
655
00:42:51,700 --> 00:42:54,400
And I get, I'm sad that we
didn't get another season.
656
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:59,100
But you know if what would I
just randomly throw this on the
657
00:42:59,100 --> 00:43:00,700
background while I'm doing
something?
658
00:43:00,700 --> 00:43:02,100
Yeah.
Probably.
659
00:43:02,700 --> 00:43:05,100
Would I get through all of it?
I would probably get through
660
00:43:05,100 --> 00:43:07,500
most of it and I remember it was
cancelled, I might go something
661
00:43:07,500 --> 00:43:09,600
else but yeah, I would
definitely watch this.
662
00:43:10,900 --> 00:43:15,500
Yeah, I'm here but I think my
point was that it's like it's
663
00:43:15,500 --> 00:43:18,700
still kind of a different like
this whole curse, the whole show
664
00:43:18,700 --> 00:43:22,700
is basically gives you a
different story about most of
665
00:43:22,707 --> 00:43:24,800
the most of the characters in
Arthurian Legends.
666
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:28,400
Like Arthur wasn't black in
Arthurian Legend, but he's black
667
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,200
here.
Neither was Morgana and she's
668
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:32,900
black here.
I was going to mention.
669
00:43:32,900 --> 00:43:38,100
This was one of the, this was
one of the first shows I think
670
00:43:38,100 --> 00:43:43,200
in this new wave of fantasies
shows that had a diverse fried
671
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:46,100
cast, right?
And I can appreciate that.
672
00:43:46,100 --> 00:43:49,700
It's like, and like Lancelot
being a PHA in like killing
673
00:43:49,700 --> 00:43:51,700
other.
Faith is like that wasn't, that
674
00:43:51,700 --> 00:43:53,700
wasn't in most Arthurian Legends
either.
675
00:43:53,900 --> 00:43:57,000
It's like, it's just a different
way of telling it and I can I
676
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:00,200
really appreciated that just
because it's not, it's not the
677
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:03,500
same thing, it's not it's not.
You're sitting there like okay,
678
00:44:03,500 --> 00:44:06,800
King Arthur gets the sword.
He's a king.
679
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,800
Okay.
Okay, he dies, Berlin help.
680
00:44:09,900 --> 00:44:11,800
Okay.
Morgana's evil.
681
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:13,300
She's good for.
Okay.
682
00:44:13,300 --> 00:44:15,000
Yeah.
But it's like it's different.
683
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:18,800
It feels it felt like a
different telling of the
684
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,000
Arthurian Legend.
It felt fresher to me.
685
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:24,700
It's like his other than just
telling the story again, it's
686
00:44:24,700 --> 00:44:28,900
just like it's kind of like with
brother was telling the story
687
00:44:28,908 --> 00:44:30,800
again but the characters were
younger.
688
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:35,100
They weren't like older as far
as being where they were in
689
00:44:35,100 --> 00:44:38,900
life, they were young like there
were almost teenagers basically,
690
00:44:38,900 --> 00:44:42,200
in the See series Merlin, but
this end this is kind of the
691
00:44:42,207 --> 00:44:44,200
same way to me.
It's like just basically an
692
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:48,700
origin story is a prequel to The
Other ithorian ithorian tails.
693
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:54,700
Yeah, I think one of the things
that I really want to see in the
694
00:44:54,700 --> 00:44:58,600
second season, like I mentioned,
we didn't see a lot of author in
695
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:00,500
this one because this wasn't his
story.
696
00:45:00,500 --> 00:45:05,300
It was Nimoy story, but you did
see a little bit of Arthur maybe
697
00:45:05,300 --> 00:45:08,300
being on the path to who he
would become.
698
00:45:08,700 --> 00:45:11,700
But I have the third episode
playing in the background and I
699
00:45:11,707 --> 00:45:15,700
was like, yo, I really wanted to
see him fight more because his
700
00:45:15,700 --> 00:45:19,600
skill his skills with a sword.
We're pretty fucking amazing.
701
00:45:21,100 --> 00:45:24,400
That was like oh that would have
been interesting to see but all
702
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:27,800
we never got weeping muck and
author fighting.
703
00:45:27,900 --> 00:45:32,400
I think about it, briefly
briefly yeah briefly.
704
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:37,100
Right.
But I mean it there were so many
705
00:45:37,100 --> 00:45:39,400
good things about this that I
did.
706
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:42,900
Like we got introduced to
another Skarsgard from well for
707
00:45:42,900 --> 00:45:48,500
most of us because I don't think
Gustaf Skarsgård had done a lot
708
00:45:48,500 --> 00:45:51,300
here.
Not that I know like this was
709
00:45:51,300 --> 00:45:54,600
the first thing that I remember
seeing him prominently in and
710
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:59,800
then I think after cursed is
when he started doing Vikings
711
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:05,400
and know this was his first,
didn't he?
712
00:46:19,700 --> 00:46:25,100
They Vikings is like further up,
but I see, ya Vikings is 2013,
713
00:46:25,100 --> 00:46:30,500
but yes, so I know a lot of
people know him from that but I
714
00:46:30,500 --> 00:46:33,700
hadn't watched that show.
So this was the first time I had
715
00:46:33,700 --> 00:46:37,100
really gotten to see him.
And I was like, okay, so that
716
00:46:37,100 --> 00:46:40,700
family is just talented all
around like every single one of
717
00:46:40,707 --> 00:46:42,600
them.
But yeah, the character, the
718
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:46,900
character that he's playing
here, I think is a better
719
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:50,700
character for him because In
Vikings, he was sort of
720
00:46:50,700 --> 00:46:53,600
constraints of being Floki, and
being the boat, and she'll ship
721
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:56,400
maker and all that.
But in this, it really gives him
722
00:46:56,400 --> 00:47:00,300
a really good range until it
kind of hate to say this kind of
723
00:47:00,300 --> 00:47:04,100
makes him a better actor than
Alexander, you know, just
724
00:47:04,100 --> 00:47:05,500
brother and True Blood, you
know?
725
00:47:05,500 --> 00:47:09,700
So least that's my yeah, and it
also also it's like this is the
726
00:47:09,700 --> 00:47:13,600
time when the scars guards were
really coming into their own.
727
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:17,100
Like this is when Bill was
coming out of him like Grove and
728
00:47:17,100 --> 00:47:21,500
getting into Pennywise and their
The father was in Mamma Mia
729
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,400
place for years.
Yeah, exactly.
730
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:28,400
So it's like so then so this is
like right in the in the realm
731
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:32,000
of Skarsgard domination as it
were and like being on Netflix
732
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:34,200
like you know I mean they were
they were freaking everywhere on
733
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:37,600
Netflix almost like they don't
own stock in it.
734
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:39,100
Like they were majority
stockholders.
735
00:47:39,100 --> 00:47:41,800
Are like it's for my show own.
Goddamn it, it's good.
736
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,200
It's my show.
Just, you know, I got stopped.
737
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:49,200
Yeah, I don't know, like I said,
it's this is one of those shows
738
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:51,300
where Where it would have been
nice to see where they were
739
00:47:51,300 --> 00:47:56,000
going to go with it.
But it's all we can do is
740
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:59,200
speculate now or read the book
which I probably.
741
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:02,400
Like I said I probably will end
up doing just because I want to
742
00:48:02,408 --> 00:48:07,800
see if there was more but there
were certain things I really did
743
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:11,900
like about it, you know again
them away being the main
744
00:48:11,900 --> 00:48:17,000
character instead of you know
the tale focusing on this man as
745
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:21,800
it always does.
I like the PHA aspect of it.
746
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:25,400
It that was interesting.
The reveals of landslides and
747
00:48:25,408 --> 00:48:30,100
Percival were, I think by the
end it wasn't really a shocking
748
00:48:30,100 --> 00:48:33,400
because I think both you and
Anthony, Mike.
749
00:48:33,700 --> 00:48:37,400
I think both of y'all kind of
started speculating that, that's
750
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:39,200
what will be.
I know Anthony was the one who
751
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:43,400
was really like spot-on.
Like yeah, the whimpers monk,
752
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:46,300
he's going to be like, yeah, I
got to get busy that theory.
753
00:48:46,300 --> 00:48:48,700
I couldn't, I can't take take, I
can't take credit for that
754
00:48:48,700 --> 00:48:49,300
theory.
I gotta go.
755
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:52,200
Yeah, that was back.
When Anthony was really still
756
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:58,200
doing here.
They no longer exist.
757
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:20,800
I think there's so many good
Arthurian Legend Tails out
758
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:24,400
there, like, we actually have a
spreadsheet going because we're
759
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:29,500
trying to figure out.
So the plan is to discuss one
760
00:49:29,700 --> 00:49:32,500
per month.
Just because there's so many out
761
00:49:32,500 --> 00:49:35,100
there and we were trying to
figure out how we were going to
762
00:49:35,100 --> 00:49:40,900
narrow this down, so we actually
have a list of potential
763
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:46,100
discussion topics.
And I think everybody's done
764
00:49:46,100 --> 00:49:50,400
like four or five, you know just
kind of throwing some out there
765
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:53,800
and then we'll decide which ones
were going to do but also for
766
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:56,100
those of you who are listening,
if this is something you're
767
00:49:56,100 --> 00:49:58,900
interested in want to hear our
you know our take on something
768
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:01,400
kind of let us know in the
comments wherever you're
769
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:04,500
listening to this.
To whether it's Spotify or
770
00:50:04,500 --> 00:50:08,100
YouTube or on our Facebook page.
Let us know what you want to
771
00:50:08,700 --> 00:50:10,500
hear us discuss.
You know.
772
00:50:11,500 --> 00:50:15,500
Some of the suggestions like Why
have the 98 version of Merlin?
773
00:50:15,500 --> 00:50:19,700
Which is a which was, I think it
back then it was like a six-part
774
00:50:19,700 --> 00:50:23,600
miniseries.
So I have that one.
775
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:27,000
Of course Camelot because
everybody who listens to this
776
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,400
knows I'm a huge.
Jamie Campbell Bower fit the
777
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:32,200
fan.
I have Monty Python and the Holy
778
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:35,900
Grail, The Sword in the Stone,
the Disney version and the green
779
00:50:36,100 --> 00:50:38,600
that we got talking about, I
love that's what I might be.
780
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:42,200
My favorite one is one sort of
stone.
781
00:50:42,300 --> 00:50:46,700
Okay.
Yeah, Anthony has Excalibur, he
782
00:50:46,700 --> 00:50:50,700
has the 2004 version of King
Arthur with Clive Owen.
783
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:55,400
The last Legion and The Mists of
Avalon, which technically
784
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:58,100
speaking is an Arthurian Tale,
But it taught it.
785
00:50:58,100 --> 00:51:00,700
Focuses on the women and
Arthur's life.
786
00:51:00,700 --> 00:51:03,300
And then Mike has A Knight's
Tale.
787
00:51:03,500 --> 00:51:06,500
He has King Arthur the version
with Charlie Hunnam.
788
00:51:06,500 --> 00:51:10,200
In it first night, Shrek, did
you really quit?
789
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:16,100
Shrek, the Third Reich.
It's a thorium, I'm not a big
790
00:51:16,100 --> 00:51:31,700
Shrek fan but I don't know if we
if we if we do it towards the
791
00:51:31,700 --> 00:51:36,100
end it'll make sense after we go
through obvious.
792
00:51:36,500 --> 00:51:39,400
Okay.
Those mobile and Mike also has
793
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:44,100
The Sorcerer's Apprentice and
the Librarians and Lori's less.
794
00:51:44,100 --> 00:51:47,800
She has Merlin the BBC series
letter for the king,
795
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:51,300
Connecticut.
Yankee in King Arthur's Court.
796
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:54,800
Black Knight.
She has the two-part King Arthur
797
00:51:54,800 --> 00:52:01,100
crackling The Martin.
Lawrence Black Knight laughed
798
00:52:01,300 --> 00:52:03,900
out loud.
I've screwed the spreadsheet
799
00:52:03,900 --> 00:52:07,900
over and I saw the black night,
I literally flawed my chest
800
00:52:07,900 --> 00:52:25,400
right there.
So we'll start kind of
801
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:28,600
discussing those and maybe
eliminating them, you know,
802
00:52:28,700 --> 00:52:35,400
eliminating some off the list,
you know, and try to decide
803
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:37,800
which ones are going to be the
entertaining ones.
804
00:52:38,900 --> 00:52:44,200
I think we have already decided
that Black Knight Will Maybe one
805
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:49,100
of the well, one of the
remaining 11, I already know
806
00:52:49,500 --> 00:52:56,300
Camelot is going to be one of
them because I said, so we have
807
00:52:56,300 --> 00:52:59,900
to King Arthur's on here.
So, those two might be, you
808
00:52:59,900 --> 00:53:02,400
know, selected to compare and
contrast.
809
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:07,300
And I think we have to do a
Merlin, like, we have to sew.
810
00:53:07,300 --> 00:53:12,200
And the one, the one from 98 is
a classic but the miniseries is
811
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:15,400
also a good One.
I think I watch like maybe two
812
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:19,800
episodes of the BBC series and I
just couldn't get into it.
813
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:22,000
I don't know if it was that I
wasn't.
814
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:23,600
It takes longer than two
episodes.
815
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:27,700
Yeah, told me that too.
So, it takes most of the first
816
00:53:27,700 --> 00:53:30,600
season was like, once you once
you get into it, it's like, they
817
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:35,300
fly by.
Oh, yeah, you got to get over
818
00:53:35,300 --> 00:53:40,300
the way that they portray Arthur
as being just this jock.
819
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:45,400
And if you can see, He's like
totally like the quarterback
820
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:48,600
team captain.
Like, like I'm always right and
821
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:52,500
Arthur you sniveling, little
blah, blah, blah, and and
822
00:53:52,500 --> 00:53:55,700
authors literally, the one that
saves his ass every day you guys
823
00:53:55,700 --> 00:53:58,400
say Arthur, at first, Arthur was
the one that I've been more
824
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:05,200
Merlin, Merlin, Merlin saves his
ass, constantly and episode, and
825
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:08,000
it's it.
And and, and honestly, even
826
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:12,200
though it is one of my favorite
television shows ever, I'm still
827
00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:13,400
trying to figure out.
Out.
828
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:15,300
How did whatever fall over him
again?
829
00:54:15,500 --> 00:54:21,700
I mean make any sense.
I mean, it makes it easy to
830
00:54:21,700 --> 00:54:23,900
understand why she fell from
Lancelot.
831
00:54:24,300 --> 00:54:30,100
Yeah, exactly exactly yeah,
yeah, cuz who that that was not
832
00:54:30,100 --> 00:54:34,100
the best one because whatever's
Finest - I'll get outta here
833
00:54:34,100 --> 00:54:35,800
too.
That's the only major acting
834
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:39,200
that she's done for.
What I can tell you is that she
835
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:42,200
doesn't really done anything
since then and I don't know why
836
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:44,500
because she was It?
Wait.
837
00:54:44,500 --> 00:54:47,800
I just thought about something
isn't is Gallagher and
838
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:51,100
authoring, okay?
Hmm.
839
00:54:51,100 --> 00:54:54,400
Thought about the musical that
the Musical one drink?
840
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:59,000
Yeah, I think so, which Anthony
is probably like, no, no, no.
841
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:01,300
Well, I'm glad.
I'm yes, it is.
842
00:55:01,300 --> 00:55:06,400
Yes, yes it is.
I'm going, I'm going, I'm going
843
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:09,000
to Advocate.
I know you kind of went over.
844
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:13,100
It kind of quick but I am going
to Advocate that if you There's
845
00:55:13,100 --> 00:55:16,900
some good old-fashioned fun, the
two-parter that MacGyver did in
846
00:55:16,900 --> 00:55:20,600
the back, in the day, he gets
hit on the head and he winds up.
847
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:24,100
Wakes up in King Arthur time.
You can't a lot and it's a
848
00:55:24,107 --> 00:55:26,200
two-part and they were highly
entire time.
849
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:28,200
They filmed and wrote These two
episodes.
850
00:55:30,300 --> 00:55:34,800
The cool thing about what I like
about, Thorium things is that
851
00:55:35,300 --> 00:55:39,200
they basically is the foundation
of what fantasy is.
852
00:55:40,100 --> 00:55:44,200
We you talk about the search for
the The the holy grail and the
853
00:55:44,207 --> 00:55:48,100
Knights of the Round Table is is
literally this orphan who has a
854
00:55:48,100 --> 00:55:52,900
magic sword who goes on the
quest to find a magic item.
855
00:55:53,300 --> 00:55:58,500
And that's like everything that
you read this fantasy basically
856
00:55:58,500 --> 00:56:01,500
Falls in that category like Star
Wars.
857
00:56:01,500 --> 00:56:03,100
I can make argument is Star
Wars.
858
00:56:03,100 --> 00:56:08,900
I'm touring the big it is.
I've heard that before.
859
00:56:08,900 --> 00:56:15,000
Yeah, almost all fantasy.
Use of thorium.
860
00:56:15,300 --> 00:56:18,700
Just by the way, it's written
this, by the way, with the
861
00:56:18,700 --> 00:56:21,000
entails.
Yeah, there are parallels in
862
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:22,900
everything, I mean.
That's why I put a nice job.
863
00:56:22,900 --> 00:56:26,100
Nice old really is done anything
to do with King Arthur, but we
864
00:56:26,100 --> 00:56:29,800
look at it.
It is Arthurian in what it in,
865
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:33,800
how the story is told, I mean, I
literally started to put Star
866
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:36,700
Wars Harry Potter.
Absolutely.
867
00:56:37,100 --> 00:56:38,400
Let me stop.
But yeah.
868
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:49,700
I mean, we might And our
favorite sci-fi fantasy sci-fi
869
00:56:49,700 --> 00:56:51,800
fantasy titles.
I mean we could do an episode
870
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:54,900
like on that that would just
just draw parallels.
871
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:57,900
Yeah, and then the other, the
other thing that is I have two
872
00:56:57,900 --> 00:57:02,700
on my list is the the popular
one, where you go to sleep, you
873
00:57:02,700 --> 00:57:05,200
get hit on the head and you wake
up and you're in a different
874
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:07,600
time and place in your Camelot.
That's what Black Knight.
875
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:08,900
That's what the MacGyver
episodes.
876
00:57:09,100 --> 00:57:13,300
Those are also a lot of fun
because it gives you the Oh, I
877
00:57:13,300 --> 00:57:16,700
actually have three because I've
Got A Connecticut Yankee in King
878
00:57:16,700 --> 00:57:19,600
Arthur's Court.
So I guess that's what I guess.
879
00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:23,100
It's my favorite theme for King
Arthur is that we're going to
880
00:57:23,100 --> 00:57:27,100
end up doing black better.
We I mean the way that y'all
881
00:57:27,100 --> 00:57:30,100
reacts I don't I don't think
I've seen black night.
882
00:57:30,100 --> 00:57:32,600
Oh you need to see a raving
Yahoo reacted to it.
883
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:35,300
I'm like, okay that's definitely
going to be one because the way
884
00:57:35,300 --> 00:57:39,800
you're looking at me now you're
like wait wait.
885
00:57:46,400 --> 00:58:18,500
Hey.
I was thinking more along the
886
00:58:18,500 --> 00:58:23,400
lines of Oh, is Technicolor the
old though?
887
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:25,100
They did.
I think they did one in the 50s.
888
00:58:25,100 --> 00:58:26,700
That was pretty good.
But yeah.
889
00:58:26,700 --> 00:58:28,000
That was I forgot about that one
too.
890
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:30,200
But yeah.
So yeah that was I guess know
891
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:31,800
which one you're talking about
Lori.
892
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:37,400
Yeah yeah okay yeah.
So we have plenty to choose from
893
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:39,800
and just because you said, no
Anthony.
894
00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:46,200
We are going to do what if I say
no to I could say I could
895
00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:50,100
supported me on this one, I just
think it would be funny to look
896
00:58:50,100 --> 00:58:54,000
at it from a different point of
view, a different genre and a
897
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:55,400
different.
Yeah.
898
00:58:55,500 --> 00:58:59,200
I think that well I guess I'm
not opposed to it.
899
00:58:59,300 --> 00:59:02,200
We don't have to we don't have
to like them all.
900
00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:04,700
I mean we can sit here and watch
it and roast it.
901
00:59:04,700 --> 00:59:08,200
I mean that's fine, it'll it'll
make for a very interesting and
902
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:14,200
humorous episode, it's a prime
Martin Lawrence and his campea
903
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:16,400
said, I mean, we're talking
Going big head.
904
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:18,700
Everything.
This is perfect.
905
00:59:20,500 --> 00:59:22,600
Oh yeah.
Well he does dance to the music.
906
00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:26,400
Like with a friggin String Band
is like with with a medieval
907
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:30,400
band it's like oh God it's
cringy but is actually kind of
908
00:59:30,408 --> 00:59:32,500
cool.
But yeah that is definitely
909
00:59:32,500 --> 00:59:35,600
going to be one of the ones that
we do will probably put that
910
00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:38,400
towards the end.
Kind of with Shrek.
911
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:51,600
The Third actually I hate When I
was just like, why am I watching
912
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:53,800
this again?
I just single one was on the
913
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:59,100
best ones.
I'll take your word for it.
914
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:02,600
Oh my God.
What's a fairy godmother?
915
01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:08,400
Come on now, I'm just I just
wasn't will see that back that
916
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:12,100
throughout another side thing
and I had to rein myself in when
917
01:00:12,100 --> 01:00:15,300
I was putting my lips together
because I said that Mark is like
918
01:00:15,300 --> 01:00:18,300
the other officials suggestor of
things and he was like well what
919
01:00:18,300 --> 01:00:20,800
about Once Upon a Time go that's
not strictly King.
920
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:23,200
Arthur is that's fairytale.
It's completely different.
921
01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:45,700
But usually my dad.
I sat there with a man.
922
01:00:57,700 --> 01:01:03,100
To being a ding, a damn doctor
with the red sphere, almost the
923
01:01:03,100 --> 01:01:05,600
pirate Queen.
I mean, she was there, you know,
924
01:01:05,700 --> 01:01:07,400
right.
She was going to just see that
925
01:01:07,500 --> 01:01:10,200
we could have just seen on Tire
spin off series with just her.
926
01:01:10,300 --> 01:01:13,600
You know, I ain't old loved it.
I would probably know about it
927
01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:15,400
that would love her.
See.
928
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:17,600
I mean, she basically pull every
scene they shoot her and
929
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:19,400
squirrel.
Like, yeah, well, I would watch
930
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:20,600
the whole thing with her and
squirrel.
931
01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:22,500
Just getting in trouble and
getting out of trouble.
932
01:01:22,700 --> 01:01:26,900
Yeah, well before I every for
every pin in a series, it was a
933
01:01:26,900 --> 01:01:30,900
fisher king.
Same with someone just oh my
934
01:01:30,900 --> 01:01:34,800
god.
Oh he was so creepy relevant to
935
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:40,500
the story who's chronically
relevant just thrown in as just
936
01:01:40,500 --> 01:01:45,000
some you know nod to something.
You know.
937
01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:48,500
Let's just try to make it.
There was one of the things they
938
01:01:48,508 --> 01:01:51,400
had about the right thing.
It's like sometimes you just put
939
01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:55,400
things in just to have them in
there and it's like but it made
940
01:01:55,400 --> 01:02:00,400
no significant Improvement.
Me into the story right at all,
941
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:01,000
right?
Yeah.
942
01:02:01,700 --> 01:02:03,900
Why even have the fisher king in
it?
943
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:06,300
If you aren't really going to do
anything with it.
944
01:02:06,900 --> 01:02:09,000
Yeah.
Probably just a creep people out
945
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:12,600
and have a Min and to just add
an attack.
946
01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:15,100
They mean basically it was just
adding antagonist.
947
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:18,600
Basically that's all it was.
It's just this have someone
948
01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:20,600
that's just make him an
assassin, let's put them into
949
01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:22,700
episodes and kill them off
quick.
950
01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:24,900
That's basically all he did to
me.
951
01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:28,400
He's in the compass of sassy
can't even Merlin right.
952
01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:31,900
Like exactly man.
Been in the chest with his
953
01:02:31,900 --> 01:02:40,100
Emperor and he kills you, if
Merlin so a depowered Merlin,
954
01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:47,100
no, well, a poison arrow at
that, whatever.
955
01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:52,100
That's neither here, nor there.
Yeah.
956
01:02:52,100 --> 01:03:07,200
I just like I said, I don't have
to be a little bit better than
957
01:03:07,200 --> 01:03:10,000
you, remember it.
You didn't go back and re-watch
958
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:13,000
it.
So maybe I watched bits and
959
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:17,100
pieces males and I think I'm, I
think I'm actually going to go
960
01:03:17,100 --> 01:03:20,900
back and listen to our, I listen
to our our podcast episodes on
961
01:03:20,900 --> 01:03:23,800
it.
I think I was cautiously
962
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:26,300
optimistic.
You were at first?
963
01:03:26,300 --> 01:03:28,500
Yeah, I want to go back and I'm
Alyssa.
964
01:03:28,500 --> 01:03:31,400
I want to listen to what we did
on the next to last episode to
965
01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:33,800
hear hear what you have to say
about Lancelot.
966
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:38,900
And just to hear you say they
better, not know what happened
967
01:03:38,900 --> 01:03:41,200
was.
I was cautiously optimistic, I
968
01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:43,800
knew was going to be attraction.
Y'all suck me in?
969
01:03:44,300 --> 01:03:48,100
Maybe I think it was good.
Yeah, cuz I do it was good.
970
01:03:51,900 --> 01:03:56,900
Yeah, you were not very excited
about the first few episodes.
971
01:03:56,900 --> 01:04:00,800
Then kind of in the middle you
were like, okay it's getting
972
01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:03,400
there but of course you know
what what is it that we always
973
01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:08,200
say You Gotta Give a show like
at least four episodes, see how
974
01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:12,000
it's going to be and like by
episode 4 5 6 right around there
975
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:15,200
we were like oh okay in there
and again good, you know.
976
01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:20,000
Yep.
Um and then, I guess, You know,
977
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:22,500
the powers that be at Netflix
was like, nope, we're not going
978
01:04:22,500 --> 01:04:26,000
to do this anymore.
See, this is what you get for -
979
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:29,600
thinking Anthony C, negative
Vibes, have have consequences,
980
01:04:29,700 --> 01:04:32,100
they have consequences, sir,
that's not right?
981
01:04:32,100 --> 01:04:36,100
Because at the time I had
Positive Vibes, I was thinking
982
01:04:36,100 --> 01:04:39,000
of the show was getting on the
rails.
983
01:04:39,300 --> 01:04:42,000
It was gonna be okay.
Everything was fine.
984
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:46,200
And then, you know, you you're
thinking you're a public key for
985
01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:48,100
it, privately against it.
I know what, I know.
986
01:04:48,100 --> 01:04:49,300
What's.
That know what happened?
987
01:04:49,500 --> 01:04:53,300
No, what happened?
Well, you know, the thing is
988
01:04:53,300 --> 01:04:57,400
that with Netflix I think that
they got to the point where they
989
01:04:57,400 --> 01:05:00,100
thought that anything that they
put out, they were just going to
990
01:05:00,107 --> 01:05:03,200
get instantly, all of these
people watching the shows and
991
01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:06,200
then when the the they start
putting out more and more
992
01:05:06,200 --> 01:05:09,700
content and it's to the point
now where there's so much
993
01:05:09,700 --> 01:05:13,300
content that if you want to
watch like, say the top 10, it's
994
01:05:13,300 --> 01:05:15,600
going to take you all weekend
long, just to get through
995
01:05:15,600 --> 01:05:18,200
certain things and then other
things like say the Jeffrey
996
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:20,600
Dahmer thing, sir.
Certain people, you know, like
997
01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:21,800
me.
I'll never watch it for the
998
01:05:21,800 --> 01:05:23,800
other people.
Like one of my friends, watched
999
01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:26,300
it twice.
I mean, they literally threw
1000
01:05:26,300 --> 01:05:30,500
stuff against the wall to see,
you know, what, they could do
1001
01:05:30,500 --> 01:05:33,200
and not do.
And I think that that's the
1002
01:05:33,200 --> 01:05:36,200
problem is that, like you like
the Winx Academy, you've had
1003
01:05:36,200 --> 01:05:39,700
chat, you've got shallow and
Bone, you've got the different
1004
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:42,800
things, the different, the
letters for the king that got
1005
01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:45,400
one season.
I mean, Netflix, I think had a
1006
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:49,300
had, a problem with putting out
too much, too fast and not.
1007
01:05:49,500 --> 01:05:53,100
Really letting people sort of
take their time and find their
1008
01:05:53,100 --> 01:05:55,800
way over to these different
shows because they've got a
1009
01:05:55,808 --> 01:05:59,600
significant amount of fantasy.
I mean stuff we don't even talk
1010
01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:03,600
about like Warrior none.
What was that really cool?
1011
01:06:03,600 --> 01:06:07,600
One, the will assassins, I mean
they got a lot of fantasy.
1012
01:06:07,700 --> 01:06:10,400
They really do, but none of it
last.
1013
01:06:10,700 --> 01:06:14,600
But I think was important to, I
think this was also to, like,
1014
01:06:14,600 --> 01:06:20,400
right at the beginning or right
before Netflix Did put it like
1015
01:06:20,700 --> 01:06:24,500
Netflix right now is one of the
biggest like they have one of
1016
01:06:24,500 --> 01:06:27,500
the biggest catalogs of original
programming, right?
1017
01:06:27,500 --> 01:06:30,400
And a lot of their stuff is
good, but I think maybe this
1018
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:33,700
came in like, right before I
think you're right.
1019
01:06:33,700 --> 01:06:39,100
Yeah, that way, you know,
everybody was still doing and,
1020
01:06:39,100 --> 01:06:41,200
you know, this may have had
something to do with them being
1021
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:44,900
counseled to.
Again, this came out this summer
1022
01:06:44,900 --> 01:06:50,200
that the pandemic right starts.
So you Still had a lot of
1023
01:06:50,200 --> 01:06:54,100
Productions who by November,
we're not filming.
1024
01:06:54,100 --> 01:06:58,600
And were, you know, if they were
filming, they were filming with
1025
01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:02,800
very skeletal Cruise.
You know, you still had limits
1026
01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:05,600
on how many people could be on
set.
1027
01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:09,300
So, I believe this show may have
been, you know, just kind of
1028
01:07:09,300 --> 01:07:13,000
falling victim to that as well.
Because it doesn't that's a real
1029
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:14,900
big part of, you know, what was
going to happen.
1030
01:07:14,900 --> 01:07:17,900
This is true.
I think like this, and the
1031
01:07:17,900 --> 01:07:19,900
October faction were to show
Shows there.
1032
01:07:19,900 --> 01:07:22,400
Yeah yeah.
Got hit hard guy hit by the
1033
01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:24,800
pandemic.
Like they kind of just got cut
1034
01:07:24,900 --> 01:07:28,400
and sit by the wayside because
they had to short down what they
1035
01:07:28,400 --> 01:07:51,000
were doing was fire.
Those that they literally were
1036
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:53,200
in the middle of covid and they
literally had a rush to get
1037
01:07:53,207 --> 01:07:55,700
everything done.
I mean, you could tell you know.
1038
01:07:55,707 --> 01:07:58,600
But now that we're we're, you
know, two and a half, three
1039
01:07:58,600 --> 01:08:01,000
years, you know, past the
initial stages.
1040
01:08:01,200 --> 01:08:05,000
I almost want to say if I was in
charge of Netflix, I would say.
1041
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:07,600
Okay guys, we're finally, you
know, everyone's quote, unquote
1042
01:08:07,607 --> 01:08:09,600
back outside.
We're trying to get things back
1043
01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:11,000
to normal.
How about this?
1044
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:17,000
How about we hold a contest for
like say the month of February,
1045
01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:20,800
whatever show too.
Three shows are the top ranking
1046
01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:24,500
shows that get the most viewers,
maybe we can talk to the people
1047
01:08:24,700 --> 01:08:27,200
and if they're not employed
elsewhere, maybe we can give
1048
01:08:27,200 --> 01:08:30,500
them a finale season.
I mean that would be kind of
1049
01:08:30,500 --> 01:08:31,800
cool to do.
You know?
1050
01:08:32,500 --> 01:08:36,000
Who shows what is that?
It's a cool concept.
1051
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:39,500
But at the same time it's kind
of like like for this show for
1052
01:08:39,500 --> 01:08:41,500
curse.
I don't know if it will work
1053
01:08:41,500 --> 01:08:45,100
because one you've been out
almost three years now.
1054
01:08:45,100 --> 01:08:46,800
So the characters.
Yeah.
1055
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:51,300
And you know, especially if
Ghani you've done other projects
1056
01:08:51,300 --> 01:08:54,100
for some people.
It's hard to come back to those
1057
01:08:54,100 --> 01:08:57,100
types of characters which you
know we see it.
1058
01:08:57,100 --> 01:09:00,500
It does happen.
Sometimes it happens in a good
1059
01:09:00,500 --> 01:09:02,399
way.
Sometimes not so good.
1060
01:09:02,399 --> 01:09:05,800
It's kind of like you kind of
just left that the way it was
1061
01:09:05,800 --> 01:09:09,200
and whatever momentum they had
is gone.
1062
01:09:09,700 --> 01:09:11,700
Yeah, that's true.
That's true.
1063
01:09:11,700 --> 01:09:15,000
Why I was just throwing stuff
out there, so but yeah, I just,
1064
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:20,200
I just feel that like Fox back
in the day, Netflix has a
1065
01:09:20,207 --> 01:09:24,700
problem of canceling too soon
and then in hindsight they were
1066
01:09:24,700 --> 01:09:26,700
like, oh, I mean, because
they'll throw money at Adam
1067
01:09:26,700 --> 01:09:28,500
Sandler all day long.
Okay.
1068
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:31,700
And oh, by the way, the murder
mystery with him and Jennifer
1069
01:09:31,700 --> 01:09:34,600
Aniston part 2 is coming out
this year, which is like, Yay.
1070
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:37,100
But that was actually pretty
good.
1071
01:09:37,100 --> 01:09:43,200
The first one they, they're very
funny and as far as fancy cross
1072
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:47,700
you know King Arthur Legends.
I mean there's been stuff that
1073
01:09:47,700 --> 01:09:52,300
I've seen that I know has been
You know, basically inspired by
1074
01:09:52,300 --> 01:09:55,700
it, we love time, you know?
Hmm.
1075
01:09:55,900 --> 01:09:59,400
You could tell that it's just,
it's one of our favorite things
1076
01:09:59,400 --> 01:10:01,700
and I'm kind of glad that we're
doing these doing these shows.
1077
01:10:01,700 --> 01:10:07,400
Because, you know, except you
know, the sad thing is that my
1078
01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:11,100
favorite book of the whole thing
is mr.
1079
01:10:11,100 --> 01:10:16,000
Van a lot, but because of the
writers personal history, I'm
1080
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:19,500
sad that we can't delve into it
because if anyone really Ali
1081
01:10:19,500 --> 01:10:22,100
took some of the ideas and just
explore.
1082
01:10:22,100 --> 01:10:25,700
It was home.
Yeah that one of those like
1083
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:28,800
there was a period.
I think during the pandemic
1084
01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:32,200
before we started the show and I
had reached out to people, I
1085
01:10:32,208 --> 01:10:34,600
just put a Facebook post.
I was like, okay.
1086
01:10:34,900 --> 01:10:38,300
So I've seen a lot of shows
dealing with Arthurian Legend
1087
01:10:38,300 --> 01:10:40,100
but I haven't read a lot of the
books.
1088
01:10:40,300 --> 01:10:43,400
I was like, okay, so what would
you suggest and that was the one
1089
01:10:43,400 --> 01:10:47,600
that got recommended the most
they were like, okay yeah so the
1090
01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:51,300
authors problematic You're going
to find that out like hella
1091
01:10:51,300 --> 01:10:56,200
problematic but it's one of the
best books about Arthurian
1092
01:10:56,200 --> 01:11:00,500
Legends that he did a heck of a
job writing that whole year I
1093
01:11:00,500 --> 01:11:06,800
mean just glued to those books
just glued you know yeah but I
1094
01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:14,400
mean I think you know I think it
can still be discussed as as the
1095
01:11:14,400 --> 01:11:18,000
work and we can still talk about
what trash the author is.
1096
01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:21,300
I mean that's it's one of the
things about discussing works
1097
01:11:21,300 --> 01:11:25,200
with problematic people.
It's one thing, if you kind of
1098
01:11:25,208 --> 01:11:28,500
ignore what the author, what the
artist is doing.
1099
01:11:28,500 --> 01:11:32,400
But if you say okay hey, yeah.
So we're going to talk about
1100
01:11:32,400 --> 01:11:35,700
this but please know this author
is trash or this person is
1101
01:11:35,700 --> 01:11:37,200
trash.
I don't know.
1102
01:11:37,200 --> 01:11:47,000
It's just, that's a great job.
Trying to trying to separate the
1103
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:53,300
artist from the art The same
discussion we had about see who
1104
01:11:53,300 --> 01:11:57,600
will not be named who will not
be named yes you know had that
1105
01:11:57,600 --> 01:12:05,100
discussion and Robert who's
spending time in confinement
1106
01:12:05,100 --> 01:12:06,900
presently.
No one wants to listen to his
1107
01:12:06,900 --> 01:12:11,000
music anymore, but some people
still do, is this one of those
1108
01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:14,600
things you and they'll talk
about his piss me off.
1109
01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:18,600
You know what?
I think it's different for me is
1110
01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:21,400
different.
Aunt, discussing him and his
1111
01:12:21,400 --> 01:12:26,100
work as opposed to the others
because with she, who must not
1112
01:12:26,100 --> 01:12:31,200
be named and with the author for
Miss of Avalon, their personal
1113
01:12:31,200 --> 01:12:36,900
issues, and the things that they
are, you know, being problematic
1114
01:12:36,900 --> 01:12:40,700
for doesn't bleed into the work.
So, I think, for me, it'll be is
1115
01:12:46,500 --> 01:12:48,900
one of my favorite favorite
albums.
1116
01:12:48,900 --> 01:12:52,800
It The big number album in the
90s.
1117
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:55,700
I can't listen to it now because
I'm like because of the
1118
01:12:55,700 --> 01:12:57,400
implication.
Yes.
1119
01:12:57,500 --> 01:13:00,700
So I can't I can't listen to it.
So that's I think it just
1120
01:13:00,700 --> 01:13:04,600
depends.
Like I said you can people can
1121
01:13:04,600 --> 01:13:09,100
have their work and it not
whatever they believe or
1122
01:13:09,100 --> 01:13:13,000
whatever they they've done.
It doesn't bleed into it, right?
1123
01:13:13,500 --> 01:13:16,300
Everything we talked about this
for me and I did my birthday
1124
01:13:16,300 --> 01:13:19,100
episode with battle beyond the
stars you go.
1125
01:13:19,300 --> 01:13:23,600
Go back far enough in time.
And even in modern history, you
1126
01:13:23,600 --> 01:13:26,700
didn't find a lot of things that
are going to be problematic.
1127
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:31,300
Whether it be the artist, the
director of the words, you know,
1128
01:13:31,700 --> 01:13:35,900
and and and if there's nothing
wrong with taking a personal
1129
01:13:35,900 --> 01:13:39,200
stance against it is perfectly
fine.
1130
01:13:39,500 --> 01:13:42,500
This is well, it seems that we
sometimes have to think about.
1131
01:13:42,500 --> 01:13:46,400
Yeah, well and like I love I
love in his game but we're some
1132
01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:49,100
Scott Carl, exactly.
That's true.
1133
01:13:49,300 --> 01:13:51,500
Example, that's literally a
perfect example.
1134
01:13:51,500 --> 01:13:54,300
I am being freaking freaking HP.
Lovecraft is like.
1135
01:13:54,300 --> 01:14:00,100
Well yeah, well the thing is is
that if you know, we're talking
1136
01:14:00,100 --> 01:14:05,700
about the TV shows, movies
fiction, I mean the offshoot of
1137
01:14:05,700 --> 01:14:07,700
just the Arthur, we're talking
about with mr.
1138
01:14:07,700 --> 01:14:12,700
Val on her influence on, just
Mercedes Lackey, who's one of my
1139
01:14:12,700 --> 01:14:15,900
favorite writers, just the whole
valdemar's theories, the
1140
01:14:15,900 --> 01:14:20,500
Herald's, the the offshoot
series, The Al flight, With the,
1141
01:14:20,500 --> 01:14:24,200
the whole things with the the
paladins and the and the the
1142
01:14:24,500 --> 01:14:26,400
interior of the tower, it's just
Mage Wars.
1143
01:14:26,400 --> 01:14:30,100
I mean, you could clearly see a
direct influence between the
1144
01:14:30,100 --> 01:14:34,100
right of, of Mists of Avalon and
Misty, lackeys World building
1145
01:14:34,100 --> 01:14:36,300
that she did for valve, or it's
just a direct line.
1146
01:14:36,300 --> 01:14:39,300
I mean, even the new series
which they're doing to history
1147
01:14:39,300 --> 01:14:42,800
of valdemar it just you could
tell that it's all the tropes
1148
01:14:42,800 --> 01:14:46,200
for King either.
I mean, I can even go as far as
1149
01:14:46,200 --> 01:14:49,100
say that some of the things that
are in John.
1150
01:14:49,200 --> 01:14:51,800
Moscow's.
He's work with the last a jury
1151
01:14:51,800 --> 01:14:54,000
to infer knock.
Seriously just did I mean it's
1152
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:57,100
all over the place because the
influence was.
1153
01:14:57,100 --> 01:15:03,300
So when I hate Shannara that
even that has elements of it,
1154
01:15:03,400 --> 01:15:10,000
you know I mean it's I think the
only one and I'm probably going
1155
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:12,900
to take a hit for this.
I think the only one that
1156
01:15:12,900 --> 01:15:17,000
doesn't really have a Lord of
the Rings type of a theme would
1157
01:15:17,000 --> 01:15:20,700
be more of the Rings.
Or am I wrong?
1158
01:15:24,700 --> 01:15:27,400
What you're saying what I'm
saying?
1159
01:15:27,400 --> 01:15:29,800
That's interesting.
Yeah, I didn't say it.
1160
01:15:29,800 --> 01:15:33,400
Well sorry, it's okay.
Yeah.
1161
01:15:33,400 --> 01:15:36,200
But anyway, we getting off that
tangent.
1162
01:15:36,200 --> 01:15:41,700
Yeah, we're going to sit here
and discuss which shows films.
1163
01:15:42,300 --> 01:15:46,500
You know, we're going to discuss
over the next 11 months.
1164
01:15:47,400 --> 01:15:51,300
Again if you are listening and
you have some suggestions, what
1165
01:15:51,300 --> 01:15:55,800
Arthurian Legends are your
favorite tales and you know what
1166
01:15:55,800 --> 01:15:57,500
would you like to hear us
discuss?
1167
01:15:57,500 --> 01:16:01,300
And you know there may be a
couple of months where maybe we
1168
01:16:01,300 --> 01:16:04,700
won't focus on just one.
Maybe we'll take to like I said
1169
01:16:04,700 --> 01:16:09,300
there to King Arthur's on the
list and maybe we'll just watch
1170
01:16:09,300 --> 01:16:12,300
those and kind of compare
contrast, you know just to see
1171
01:16:12,300 --> 01:16:14,200
how different or how similar
they are.
1172
01:16:14,500 --> 01:16:17,400
But either way it goes we're
just going to have fun talking
1173
01:16:17,400 --> 01:16:20,400
about Arthurian Legends.
There's a lot of content out
1174
01:16:20,400 --> 01:16:25,300
there so we got a Figure out a
way to narrow it down to 11 but
1175
01:16:25,300 --> 01:16:28,200
I don't think we'll have too
much of a problem doing that,
1176
01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:31,600
you know what?
We'll see.
1177
01:16:31,700 --> 01:16:36,300
We'll see how it goes.
But I think that is going to be
1178
01:16:36,300 --> 01:16:41,000
it for our discussion of curse.
Like I said, it was a fun show
1179
01:16:41,300 --> 01:16:45,300
and it's nostalgic for us
because it was one of our first.
1180
01:16:46,500 --> 01:16:48,600
And yeah, it would have been
nice to see what they could do
1181
01:16:48,600 --> 01:16:51,600
with the second season but
unfortunately we won't get that.
1182
01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:53,600
So Got to move along to the next
one.
1183
01:16:53,600 --> 01:17:00,000
We know that Arthurian Legends
media is not anything that's
1184
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:03,100
going to be lacking any time
soon.
1185
01:17:03,200 --> 01:17:07,900
You know, we've got lots to
choose from and there's probably
1186
01:17:07,900 --> 01:17:10,300
some, you know, projects coming
up.
1187
01:17:10,700 --> 01:17:13,100
So we'll kind of see how that
goes.
1188
01:17:13,100 --> 01:17:16,700
And like I said, we'll discuss
which ones we want to talk about
1189
01:17:16,700 --> 01:17:18,800
next.
