Speaker 2:
Hey, I'm Derek and I'm Noah, and you're listening to Bite On when we dig our favorite pop-cloth room session and enjoy it one nibble at a time. That was a roller coaster.
Speaker 1:Just trying something new. Just trying some new stuff. You do, you Great.
Speaker 2:Just do a remix, but you know what is also very great, tell us it is the then ultimate episode. Oh, secret Invasion. It's one of our favorite types of episodes because it means we're almost done with covering the show.
Speaker 1:That felt like such a roast of Secret Invasion.
Speaker 2:No, not at all. Okay. Okay, we have a lot to talk about. It is the penultimate episode of this series. Lots of thoughts, lots of feelings. Have we lost our scroll-ass minds, as Nick Fury so lovingly says?
Speaker 1:Things are not good among the scrolls right now, you guys.
Speaker 2:Anybody Between anybody. Okay, so we cover movies, tv, mostly Books. We've covered all that media. It would be, you know, not great of us. We wouldn't be on the right side of the picket lines if we did not mention the strikes that were happening Last week when we were covering it. It was literally they were deciding if they were going to strike, and now both sides of strike. So the first time in 63 years, Before I was born. I mean before most of us was born, but before the world was born, I think. Like Reagan was president maybe, but double strike, hollywood has a double strike. It's been a very long time. So the contract between SAG, the Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio did not agree with the AMPT American motion picture and television producers. I love these acronyms, there's too many. I bet it's too many, but the contracts they couldn't come to an agreement. Now they are joining the WGA. They have been on strike since May 2nd, so it's been quite a while. It's bad, but it's good that SAG is doing this so it's going to light a new fire under these strikes. So there's a lot of misinformation out there. I implore people to go directly to SAG or WGA and find out that information on what you should do, what should not do, as a content creator. Slash influencer.
Speaker 1:Slash reviewer Go do that Absolutely, and so we are trying to honestly figure out where this leaves us as people who create content. So we're looking to finish out the season. We started it before this happened, and we just want folks to know that we are aware of what's going on. We don't want to just make it like we're blatantly ignoring what's going on, and we're doing our best to honor those who are striking.
Speaker 2:Yes, and we are going to put down below in the show notes the different ways and a link to a page to show how you can support them. And if you aren't in New York and LA or wherever they're doing the actual picket lines, there's plenty of funds that you can donate, just spreading the word on social media. So go do that. But that's where we stand in the current industry that we love. We love movies, we love TV. We want them to be paid fairly. So do that, you greedy ghouls. The ghouls are greedy because I don't like it.
Speaker 1:No, but what I do like is Nanny Fine being at the front line saying oh. Mr Sheffield.
Speaker 2:No, no, no, Don't do it.
Speaker 1:Art imitates life, because there is an episode of the Nanny where she refuses to cross the picket line. Good.
Speaker 2:So here she is. I mean perfect person to be the president. Go watch the videos of her giving the speech and everything that she's doing. She's killing it, and I'm glad that they did not concede to these greedy greedy corporations. So let's hopefully hope that they come to an agreement and these end, so that way they get paid fairly and we get our shows and movies.
Speaker 1:That really yeah, and it's just. I mean honestly, it's just really awful how greedy these folks are who are making hundreds of millions of dollars literally a year. And I mean I've read statistics, I mean who knows if it's correctly, but like things are, like, if they would all give up 2% of what they make yearly, they can meet the demands of what people are asking for.
Speaker 2:Right, yes. And they won't. Clearly so if they're making hundreds of million dollars a year, just is really 50 million taken off of that. That much Like you don't need that.
Speaker 1:No, really no but it's horrendous.
Speaker 2:The streaming industry has made it very non-transparent, with ratings and viewers, all of that, so it's just a big whole mess. They're releasing agreements that they didn't agree to. I also highly implore you to go look at those, because it is insane.
Speaker 1:Ai is a danger and they need to pay people, so yeah, isn't there like the thing of like, well, we'll just make AI actors, it'll be fine? Yeah, it's fine. I can't.
Speaker 2:Black Mirror literally talked about this, joan is awful, is true?
Speaker 1:Yeah, selma Hayek will be pissed. Studios are awful.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yep, all right, so onto the show. Be sure to look at those show notes if you really want to know more information, or go directly to SAG and WGA Secret invasion.
Speaker 1:It's a secret invasion. Should we take a look back? Yeah, let's take a look back, all right? So Secret Invasion. Episode 4 was titled. Beloved Gaia rises from the dead, showing she has super scroll powers to take that graphic. Priscilla gets the order from Rody to kill Fury, so instead she has a cup of tea with him that ends in gunshots to the wall. Fury makes his way to Rody fresh out of the shower and has him sip some nano trackers. The president of the United States arrives in England only to be ambushed by Gravix Brigade During the battle. Gravix says go go, groot arm. And Fury leaves closest ally, talos ally Talos lying in the street after being murdered by the rebel leader, I just imagine you writing these and just being like hey, this is so good.
Speaker 2:Got him. But then you say it out loud and it's just a tongue twister and it's so good.
Speaker 1:Damn Noah's roasting everyone tonight it wasn't a roast.
Speaker 2:It was like the alliteration is so good that it like it is a tongue twister.
Speaker 1:Right, I got to exercise my mouth a little bit.
Speaker 2:I got to do some warm ups before this the Talos lift on the side of the road one was a tongue twister.
Speaker 1:Fury leaves his closest ally. It's ally, I keep wanting to say, alloy. Okay, fury leaves his closest friend, talos, lying in the street after being murdered by the rebel leader. I wonder why you found the cause.
Speaker 2:Yes, I wonder why ally made it so weird.
Speaker 1:I think because ally plus Talos makes me want to say alloy.
Speaker 2:You guys say altoids.
Speaker 1:It's altoids Curiously strong. Well, anyway, you guys watched it, not Talos. He is not, curiously strong. Also, I also noticed that some people say Talos and some people say Talos.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's the difference between British people and not British people.
Speaker 1:I don't think that's true. Yeah, because I think Fury says Talos he does yeah.
Speaker 2:But he heard it from a British person, so I guess it could be either one. Whatever, I mean, it's like Thanos and Thanos.
Speaker 1:I see no one says the first one, though A lot of people do the.
Speaker 2:Avengers I mean, I don't know them personally.
Speaker 1:They say Thanos.
Speaker 2:The general public does.
Speaker 1:No, we're not talking about the gem pop, we're talking about the characters in the show. They did not agree on how to say alloy. Yeah, all right.
Speaker 2:Spoiler alert spoils the secrets are going to be spilled for the fifth episode of Secret Invasion.
Speaker 1:Let us officially take a bite of Secret Invasion, episode 5. Hovvist.
Speaker 2:Okay, Linda Peltier A delightful fall hovvist, what are your instant reactions to finishing this episode? Episode 5?
Speaker 1:This episode, Can I be? I'm going to be honest.
Speaker 2:I would think the listeners would appreciate that.
Speaker 1:I felt like it was a mess. Oh, I didn't expect it Go on. I just felt like there were so many things that happened that like you really had to be like okay, I guess, like, yeah, I guess that's the way they could have handled it. It just like things this was get. This is getting us to the last episode.
Speaker 2:Right, and is it one of those things where it's suffering from it being six episodes and it could have benefited? I feel like we have the same conversation every time. Right, it's like we're getting to the end and we're like, how do they wrap it up? And then by the end, we're like they really didn't stick their landing or they kind of did, but it's just to set up the next thing.
Speaker 1:See the. I think the problem with secret invasion and this is something that you have said before is that it didn't need to be a show. Yeah, I feel like it could have been a movie. It could have been a movie and the thing is is like if we're thinking about them sticking the landing, unfortunately, the tumbling pass. They kept falling out of it the entire time. You know they're not hitting Simone Biles here. Well, nobody can. But do you know what I mean? Yeah, Like. Wandavision was like.
Speaker 2:Simone Biles WandaVision.
Speaker 1:WandaVision. It's my good friend, WandaVision.
Speaker 2:I feel like those, and like Moon Knight and Miss Marvel, were very close, yeah. So I feel like, yeah, yeah, it's these six episode events that I feel like are going to be very hard, with whatever story they're trying to tell. I thought this one would have been like a surefire knockout of the park because it's you know, it's inspired by, like Tinker's Taylor Soldier spy. It's supposed to be that kind of I don't want to say grounded, because I hate using that word, but that espionage, that spy thing. It's a very bookended type thing it could be. I just don't like every episode keeps getting shorter. The first two episodes were like an hour and now we're like around the 30 mid-mark. So are they going to wrap it up? Yes, are they going to wrap it up nicely.
Speaker 1:I don't know. I mean, let's face it right.
Speaker 2:So in the next episode, what we can hope for is that Gravick will be defeated, but I hope he doesn't die, because I really don't want these one and done villains. I like returning villains.
Speaker 1:I think I have a feeling that's what's going to happen, and the thing is is that? But it's still not going to settle the problem of millions of scrolls living on earth. It's not going to settle the problem of the scrolls not having a home, so it's going to leave us exactly where we were before Secret Invasion started.
Speaker 2:As long as he doesn't get all that DNA, I'm fine the harvest. If he doesn't get his harvest, I'm fine. I love a fresh harvest. This episode I do feel like a lot happened and there were some excellent moments. And then there were some like okay, like I don't. I guess I needed the couple conversations between Skroty and Gravick because they know each other. The editing in some parts was a little choppy, but overall I think this was the most actiony episode. Yes, even over the countryside British shootout.
Speaker 1:I will agree that through the 30 some odd minutes of this we had three pretty major fight scenes Right or intent like a lot of shooting. So many guns, so many guns. Everybody's got guns guns in the hospital, guns in the countryside, guns in the house. Yeah, guns, yeah, everybody loves guns.
Speaker 2:It is spy, so you need guns in this. So Sonia and Priscilla I kind of want to just talk about them right off the top because I they were my favorite part of this episode. I just liked their interactions because you got a lot of like depth and stuff from them. I like that Nick Fury sent Gaia to Priscilla because they're still cool even though their marriage is absolved. They're still cool.
Speaker 1:They shook on it. Yeah, goodbye, goodbye.
Speaker 2:He's like go take your dad and she'll help you.
Speaker 1:You bury. Where did she get him from?
Speaker 2:The road, the road, yeah, she's not getting.
Speaker 1:She hid in that apartment building or whatever. And then she's like I want to bury my dad. He said okay and then she got him. He's been in the van the whole time.
Speaker 2:Van Moose, van.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's a detail that, like if you think too hard doesn't make sense, and see this is my problem about what we do here is that we have to think about these things.
Speaker 2:Right, and then now our listeners Right.
Speaker 1:Well, someone who's just watching is going like oh yeah, of course she has to bury her dad. Wow, that's amazing. Where's that van? From? Whose van is that when? How did his body get in there? How did his body get in there? Yeah.
Speaker 2:He was.
Speaker 1:I'm going to say in the middle of a battleground.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm going to say that I hope that some of the British soldiers because I'm assuming graphics team left after killing him and then what was left was the British government and they took Talos into custody, his body, and then Fallsworth gave it I eat a guy I don't know. Wow, it's our job. It's our job to think about it but. I did like the small instances where you see Priscilla or Vera and you see Gaia, and they're from two separate types of upbringings. With scrolls. You have ones that know the ways and you have ones that grew up on earth and grew up in different ways, of kind of like hodgepodgey ways of what the scrolls were, because they don't have a lot of their stuff Priscilla should have slapped her in the face why?
Speaker 1:Because Gaia was being disrespectful in she's young Priscilla's home. She's like 30 something.
Speaker 2:Yeah, In scroll year she's like 72.
Speaker 1:In scroll year. She's 12. Do they live long? I don't know what, I don't know what the how long scrolls live, like 250. Oh yeah, so she's. So she is very young in scroll years, so she's still young. How old is Priscilla? Older, she's older, older, yeah, older. Simple answer.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean it was interesting that she. She said she was like as you ever, you know, did you just?
Speaker 1:what did she? Did you? Did you look at him? Did you look upon him in your true skin, or something like that? Is that what she said?
Speaker 2:Yeah, she said that.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's weird. And Priscilla was like I'm going to beat the shit out of you If you talk to me like that one more time. This woman, just Priscilla, just helped Gaia bury her father. Yeah, she said the prayer that Gaia didn't even know. Comes into her house and disrespect her. Yeah, let me say some guy, I don't see you walking around in your natural skin, I don't see you hanging out.
Speaker 2:Well, I think that's yeah Right, wow Hippocritical. I think there's some layers to that, but it is not nice to say.
Speaker 1:No, no, especially when you're waiting for her executioners to come.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I did that gunshot whenever they came to kill Priscilla, because Nick Fury literally told her they're going to come for you and she's like, let him come. That got me, that gunshot got me. I was like that was scary. Yeah, out of nowhere. Great, that was the scariest part of this spy thriller that we've gotten?
Speaker 1:These people were sent to kill this woman. Their aim is so terrible. Not only do they miss, but they were like so off.
Speaker 2:I also feel so bad for this whole tea situation because every time they bring out the tea, this beautiful Her life just like crumbles in some sort of way. Just no more tea. No, he questions her about everything. Marriage gets absolved. Now she's getting shot out and they destroyed the teapot.
Speaker 1:Maybe the problem is because it's in England. There's just always tea, so it's going to get shot.
Speaker 2:No matter what.
Speaker 1:What it's. England, they're always drinking tea, so it's going to be out when any assassin comes. When you're fighting with your spouse, there's always tea around.
Speaker 2:What would be the American equivalent, beer Paps, blue Ribbon Exactly.
Speaker 1:What's, I don't know, yeah. Were you trying to think of a beer, Paps Blue Ribbon, like Natty Ice, like the really cheap ones.
Speaker 2:Natty, ice Natty.
Speaker 1:I mean.
Speaker 2:Budweiser it'd probably be Budweiser, right? I like how you jumped from Natty Ice to Budweiser.
Speaker 1:Right, but like that's like yeah, Budweiser is cheap, but now it's gay, it's gay. So yeah, super gay, it's gay, it's not anymore because they pulled back.
Speaker 2:So fuck Budweiser or Bud Light, which one is it?
Speaker 1:Well, budweiser is the parent company, right, no, anheuser-busch I actually Clyde Still Horses. Well, there's Budweiser and then Bud Light is the light version of that. Got it Now. What about Bud Light Lime? Where do they?
Speaker 2:stand. They don't make that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they do, they used to. It was delicious. No, it was basically like a really horrible version of a Corona with lime in it.
Speaker 2:Corona is the only one that should have lime, because that sounds disgusting with Budweiser Light.
Speaker 1:Budweiser Light. We're gonna tell him, though it didn't grow up where he was playing beer pong in people's backyards.
Speaker 2:Oh no, I did, but we just used, like straight up, vodka and moonshine.
Speaker 1:Oh my God, I was in Texas, so oh yeah, no, In Queens we were drinking cases of Bud Light, maybe smoking Marvel mental lights.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, bad ports down, we're the bad kids, yeah.
Speaker 1:We really weren't theater kids, we like to just hold the cigarettes. Just lit.
Speaker 2:We would do like den and den and den, and then we were the jets.
Speaker 1:I'd roll up a pack of cigarettes in my short sleeves.
Speaker 2:Okay, so, oh, sorry, what are?
Speaker 1:we talking about Priscilla and Guy. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:This scene that follows this, where they go into I'm assuming her lab where she still works on genetics. There's lots of plants, lots of aisles.
Speaker 1:Yeah, lots of secret compartments, shoot up and it was great.
Speaker 2:I loved that scene. I loved the back to back. I love one crouching down and reloading and the other one covering.
Speaker 1:So good that's that's scroll tactics right there.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:That's how they train One person shoots, one person reloads.
Speaker 2:They knew, I think it's just tactics in general.
Speaker 1:Well, they're training.
Speaker 2:That's scrolls, that's what I'm saying With guns, hello. But the backpacks were so backpack, backpack, back.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Dora provided them with a front and back protection of a backpack Vamanos boots. I was so good, I liked it. I liked seeing them work together, even though they've never worked together before. That's how highly skilled Hello these two are. Yes, probably both of them trained by Nick Fury in some way.
Speaker 1:They're Fury in for sure. Yeah, the Fury in way. Yeah, I did like, though my favorite shot was the guy that was swinging into the window didn't even really make it in. They shot him and he just hung there the whole time. Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:That was a good one you getting paid to just lay there. I got shot by Amelia Clark, thank you, woohoo, I hope that Amelia Clark makes it out of this series because she's great.
Speaker 1:They can't kill her father and her. They can't but they could. Oh, they got to do is a couple of keystrokes and her fate is sealed.
Speaker 2:I mean they'll just keep replaying, apparently, the footage of her dying, because that's how Kobe Svolders gets her guest. She gets a credit every single episode, baby. I mean like awesome cover for her, though, because it's like you think that Maria Hill is going to be in every episode because she's listed on all of them.
Speaker 1:It does say six yeah.
Speaker 2:And it's like, oh no, they just show the same footage.
Speaker 1:She has one more appearance in the next episode. They're going to show it one more time.
Speaker 2:It's just playing on all the backgrounds. Oh yeah, the final the news is going to be on. My God, speaking of that, the world knows. The world knows. Now they released it, graphics is plan is going to ship. And now it's bad. It's bad because he has nothing to lose and he does not care. He just wants to burn the world. Now. I'm assuming the original plan was to just start a war and then lay waste everything and take the home. After all, the humans are dead. Now he just doesn't care. He's killing his own people. Freaking pagan dead, yeah, gone. He gritted him. Same, same with the new guy. That guy let in. I'm, unfortunately, if I don't do know his name, gone.
Speaker 1:They're all dead. They tried to do a little revolt, but he's too strong.
Speaker 2:That scene so good.
Speaker 1:I saw that guy get up with that sledgehammer and I was like no. And then I was like yeah, did it. They tried to bag him too, but like did they?
Speaker 2:they had to have known he had powers because they were with him when they shot at the president. Why?
Speaker 1:didn't? They give themselves powers first. But do you know what I'm saying? It's a better planning. Yeah, better planning Everyone.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but they got a bag. They got a plastic bag, that and a sledgehammer would have worked if he didn't have superpowers.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:Agreed, that was frightening, though Loved it. I thought it was very high tension, very like brutal. So good the choreography in that scene. Loved it here for it.
Speaker 1:He feels very like Roy Dragy now.
Speaker 2:He right, he's just scorched earth.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like, that's just like lashing out he's giving me, he's giving me a Zula in, like the last episode of airbender. My God, you know what I mean. Just like lost yes, losing his mind. Do you know what I mean? He's going in the next episode. He's just going to be a monster.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I assume I heart group part Ice guy Frostbeast, frostbeast, part fire healer.
Speaker 2:Extremist.
Speaker 1:Extremist.
Speaker 2:And then there's one more Call obsidian. Oh yeah, Rolls right off the top.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, Call obsidian not to be confused with Cole Sprouse. Was he the one?
Speaker 2:that did the interview with the cigarette, I think so it could have been either one, actually.
Speaker 1:And I think and the other one I think is the is is Jughead. I thought it was the same person. Oh is it? I don't really keep up with the Sprouse boys. I don't either. After the sweet life of Zach and Cody, I stopped at Big Daddy no friends, friends when one of them was in friends. I forgot they were in friends. He was Ben.
Speaker 2:Wow, only one of them though.
Speaker 1:Wow, yeah the guys. That's horrible, that smoking video.
Speaker 2:No, no, it's not great. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No outside, fine, whatever, we don't care, but like it's just something about doing it inside while doing a video. It's like I don't think you're that cool.
Speaker 1:But that's the problem is that she's trying to be cool.
Speaker 2:It's not cool it's not cool. That does not constitute coolness, no, no no, no.
Speaker 1:And tobacco is wacko. If you're a teen, dare that's true. That's your weekly dare announcement from Derek's.
Speaker 2:Dare you know what I love the most about this episode? I want to know. You can guess I know what it is. Sonya Fallsworth got so much screen time. They knew that me, noah, would feel betrayed, like I was not a beloved viewer of them. And I got no Sonya last episode.
Speaker 1:Not even one, not even one millisecond.
Speaker 2:And this one. We got plenty.
Speaker 1:We have so much Sonya. Let me tell you something about Sonya. Sonya has a style that I like. Okay, like, literally, like literally both. Okay, fury needs to learn a couple of things from her. Okay, because guess what she does? She shoots you. Okay, she just gets it done. She says, hey, what's up guy in this office? And he's like what she's like? Bam, you're a scurril, told you.
Speaker 2:What if he wasn't, though?
Speaker 1:What if she was totally wrong? She always knows she knows, sonya knows she does, she wouldn't go in there without knowing, and I think Fury should have done the same thing to Rody in the hospital. He should have done it a lot of times. And because Rody's like, if you like, I'm going to tell everybody Murray Hill, guess what. He did it anyway. So why don't?
Speaker 2:you kill him Right. Yeah, we can't.
Speaker 1:Yeah, sonya knows what to do. Yeah, follow Sonya's lead.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and she'll also crack amazing one liners and jokes. I loved when aside from going into the director of MI6 and just being like bam see, you guys, Look, look at that, he's a, he's a scurril, told you I love when she goes to the Dalton's and she just she's like hello Skrulls. Yes, Just not even waiting.
Speaker 1:She's just so sure of herself.
Speaker 2:She has all the intel, she always knows, she has the upper hand, and I you know what's actually kind of throwing me off a little bit about this is that, like this is what I would expect Fury to be like, just so confident and so sure. And I know he's like shaky and like the whole point is to like exploit her character and stuff. But like she, like we don't know her, but I trust her to not die or to just do what needs to be done. Fury, I'm just questioning a lot and I'm like I you were limping in the beginning. I don't know if it was a show, but like you, okay, Are you?
Speaker 1:good. Episode five he's on his last leg Literally.
Speaker 2:Do we think we're going to no?
Speaker 1:no, take it back. Well, so I was gonna say do you think we're going to lose Fury? But we're not, because we know he's in the marvels.
Speaker 2:We don't know if it is actually Fury. What if it's?
Speaker 1:it's.
Speaker 2:Gaia? No, I think that'd be weird, right? Is that weird, like for a white actor to be playing a black actor, even though it's an alien race? But I guess Talos did it.
Speaker 1:He got me. I don't know how it works, but I was. I don't know. I mean, fury is going to make it out of this.
Speaker 2:In one way or another.
Speaker 1:His character. Who's supposed to be our lead? Just like steadfast, strong character is like not holding a torch to Sonya yeah, yeah, sonya's. Just like charging in taking names shooting people.
Speaker 2:She said to the Dalton. She said I could be one of two ways. She's like I'm great as your bestie. I'm great as, definitely great at not being your bestie. She's like so, do you either want cake?
Speaker 1:or death. Cake or death. That's life, baby, I love it. It's either cake or death.
Speaker 2:I love it so much. This scene with her and Fury also great. We got so many Sonya scenes in this episode them going to the graveyard. He's going to get the harvest. This thing that talk to Gaia guys like all he wants is a harvest. Do you know what that is? He's like oh shit.
Speaker 1:Is that what he's after? The thing I helped to make? Yeah.
Speaker 2:Obviously he's after that. So they go to Finland, which was sweet because he hid it there, because him and Priscilla went there on their honeymoon. He is a sweetheart inside.
Speaker 1:I think this settles our debate of whether or not there was true love between Priscilla and Fury.
Speaker 2:I think you were just having that debate, no no, I was sticking up for love.
Speaker 1:Oh, you were, yeah, and you said she was just a secret mission I didn't trust her. That's fair. I just didn't trust her. But I think this scene is nicely. I mean, we saw them both talking about each other lovingly separately in this episode.
Speaker 2:So the grave one of many that he has around the world, because lots of money.
Speaker 1:You got to prepare Lot of money.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's very expensive to bury things. Hopefully more quotes or different quotes on each one of them, because that would be fun. What did this one say?
Speaker 1:I don't know. Oh, I didn't think it was important.
Speaker 2:It's probably some quote from something.
Speaker 1:It's a Nicholas J Fury Avengers besties, yeah, yeah, xoxo.
Speaker 2:Gossip girl Fuck goose, because I hate that flirt.
Speaker 1:Fuck that flirkin. Let's also talk about breath technology.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so he hid. He hid this thing in the grave, the gravestone, yeah.
Speaker 1:Tombstone.
Speaker 2:Stone where somebody's dead, he gently oh it lit up Blows into it, which I don't know if Augustine could do that, or like it's it knows his favorite mint it knows the oh, it's just black licorice.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah Strong.
Speaker 2:It has to be something that not a lot of people would have.
Speaker 1:And I think in Finland they do love a black licorice. See those Nordic countries.
Speaker 2:They're like oh, I'm going to get a weird pick.
Speaker 1:It made sense because you make it Can Breath, can't like a breathalyzer. It knows his breath.
Speaker 2:Well, there is DNA in this.
Speaker 1:Yes, this bit it yeah.
Speaker 2:So it was fine. I think it was way too expensive for tombstone, but whatever. So I am very curious as to who's Avengers DNA is in this. So this is a big revelation right For the series, and this is what could potentially bring about the extinction of humans. Because if the scrolls could have access to A number of Avengers Because Fury specifically said it, even Carol blood or there's DNA from Carol in this that's not good. Carol could stand up to Thanos easily. We don't want that. What I'm more curious about is the delivery system. I know that we have the suspend disbelief, but I don't know why. I was like hoping it would be multiple files or like organized in some way, but I'm not. Like can that work? Like just having whatever DNA samples all floating around together?
Speaker 1:If everyone spits in a tube and send it to 23 and me, will it be able to tell that no, 10 different people.
Speaker 2:I don't think so. I mean, maybe if you look into the DNA and be like, okay, these are different DNAs from people, but like I don't know, Like I couldn't see the Hulk's DNA being so heavily with gamma radiation, Well it should be green the vial.
Speaker 1:Should be, if it's Hulk's, yeah, yeah, I don't know. Is this just some? Is this just one, one person's DNA?
Speaker 2:I mean he said it has the DNA samples.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Harvest does make it seem like a lot.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we also find out that Fury had these collectors come after the battle and collect this DNA testing led by Gravit. This is where it's like. Fury is I don't want to say like the Batman, but I feel like some listeners might understand that reference. Batman always has contingency plans for the Justice League because he's immortal and he's like in case they break bad. I need to have a way to whatever I'm hoping Fury was like. Oh, they almost died, some of them did. If all of the Avengers get wiped out, I need a way to potentially make new ones. So that's why he kept the DNA. It's just a really weird move to secretly steal people's DNA. It feels illegal. Well, I don't think anything in this show is legal.
Speaker 1:Something about stealing someone's DNA feels like it crosses a line. Yeah, just a little bit you know and it's interesting that he needs to keep a contingency plan to bring the heroes back in case he needs them. Let's say that's what it is. But when Sonia Flatout asks him, she's like why aren't you calling your heroes? He's like it's personal.
Speaker 2:And I'm like. I'm like okay, fury, I feel two different ways about that. Right, I want to hear both. You're going to only hear half of one.
Speaker 1:Oh scary, he's just kidding.
Speaker 2:So I believe that he can't call his special friends because there is no Avengers, there's not an Avengers team right now. There are some Avengers he knows of which he could call, but the whole like conversation of like just call the Avengers, there isn't an Avengers team right now. There's. Who's he going to call? Everybody's kind of busy at this moment. We don't know exactly where in the timeline this takes place, but I feel like his reasoning is very weak and it's kind of like okay, yeah, because you're the only one that has got is married to Priscilla, like it was a weird way to say like it's personal, I have to do it. I don't think that's a valuable reason. You could call one person, but then does that take away from, like, the point of the show?
Speaker 1:I don't think, yeah, I don't think. He wants his friends to know that he stole their spit.
Speaker 2:I think that's a big reason, right? He doesn't want them to know that he did this and that he messed up this bad.
Speaker 1:He messed up real bad.
Speaker 2:He did Very much so.
Speaker 1:And now Gravix losing it. Everyone's angry. World War III is coming, rodi's whispering in the presidency year.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah. It's a mess we in this episode they have finally decided to acknowledge that Black Widow was a thing and it happened, because we've gotten many references to Black Widow. We got the red room stuff mentioned. What three episodes ago? This episode, we got two references. We got the Widow's veil which, hello, where's that been? This healy peel this whole time. And then Mason, Mr OT.
Speaker 1:He's been here since the prequel.
Speaker 2:We haven't seen him since Black. Widow they're like oh, by the way, he's still around, he's still getting planes and stuff from people he still deals in planes, here you go. I like seeing him, but it was very like oh, I forgot you exist.
Speaker 1:Are you going to?
Speaker 2:continue when who are you now.
Speaker 1:I think he's just going to pop up whenever they want him, whenever they need a plane, because that's what I was thinking. I was like, if he already has no friends right now, how is he going to get to Finland? And then Mason shows up.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And then Sony picks him up, yeah, in Finland, and it said like 293 kilometers from the Russian border. That does nothing for me.
Speaker 2:I actually thought they weren't in Finland because I was like how far the American education system has failed me, but you do know how big Texas is, I'm sure. Yes, but why did they say from the Russian border? I didn't need to know that. That was a weird right?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I guess it was just to give us context of that.
Speaker 2:Maybe they're close to where the place that's going to be bombed is just in.
Speaker 1:Brixton Right and also they're doing a lot of. I feel like I had a problem with this in Falcon and Winter Soldier, where they were in one place and then in the next scene they were in a completely different country and no time had passed. Gravic has like where is the Super Scroll machine? Is it in Russia or is it?
Speaker 2:in London. It's a new scrollos because that's where Gaia was. There could be multiple there probably is, but that's where Gaia was when she left and got shot because she just turned herself into a Super Scroll. That's where it's at.
Speaker 1:But yes, but I'm just saying in that timeline. She met her dad. Yeah, she met her dad in a museum in England and then they drove to Russia where she was shot.
Speaker 2:I don't know.
Speaker 1:Okay, I'm just trying to piece this together and I can't yeah that's fine, and it might be because I'm a dumb, dumb and that's fine too. I'm just saying I don't know either in England.
Speaker 2:It's like sometimes these location title cards at the bottom don't help because it's like wait, Fury was just in Russia. How is he again in England? Where does Priscilla live In the wilds? What's happening? So fine, I think this episode was fine, Right. I think I'm glad nobody died like they did at the end of the last couple episodes. I think it's more of the same. I'm curious to see how they ultimately wrap this up. I know the Marvels is like. Is the part one or part two of this like it's going to continue more in the MCU? To what effect? Super Scrolls.
Speaker 1:Right, because from what we've seen in sort of in the Marvel's trailer, when they use their powers, they switch places.
Speaker 2:Right, but I don't even think that has to do with this.
Speaker 1:That's what I'm trying to say. Yeah, it doesn't.
Speaker 2:It's just more Fury on Saber. That's it. Sure, I think it's a great connection. Scrolls are around.
Speaker 1:They're everywhere.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so I don't know when do you think this is going. What do you hope for the finale?
Speaker 1:Let's Okay. This is my prediction. My prediction is a fight. I think that the vial of harvest is. I think that Gravic is going to take it and it's going to be too much power and he's going to turn into like a monster.
Speaker 2:So you're saying like a Kevin Bacon X-Men first class situation?
Speaker 1:where he gets like overloaded, yeah, and he's going to explode.
Speaker 2:I hope it's like some like Cronin Berge and body horror like John Carpenter, Like he's just overloaded with all of the Avengers. I don't like that sentence.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he's got like a Thor in his armpit. He's got a Captain America butt, he's got America's ass. He's like, oh yeah, when.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:He's got Captain Marvel's Mohawk thing.
Speaker 2:Oh well no.
Speaker 1:And then they, and then they play dinner and there near, near and it's another X-Men.
Speaker 2:That's how the X-Men get introduced Exactly he explodes.
Speaker 1:Oh yes. And the harvest goes everywhere.
Speaker 2:It goes into the water and they drink it From Russia Exactly All the way to Well, Russia's next to England and England's next to America. Next to Finland.
Speaker 1:Finland, so it makes sense.
Speaker 2:I think so Jubilee's there. It's like that whole thing in Game of Thrones where, oh my God, what was the eunuch's name? The bald guy, bald guy. No, what was his name? Varric.
Speaker 1:That sounds right, varric.
Speaker 2:Varric.
Speaker 1:No, something like that.
Speaker 2:We know who we're talking about, right, but it was like.
Speaker 1:Mr.
Speaker 2:Secrets. How can he travel from like a John Snow to King's Landing? But yeah, it takes, like Aria John Daenerys eight seasons just to get to one air, that guy he just put himself in a box. Somebody was like he just teleports.
Speaker 1:It's called the United Parcel Service baby.
Speaker 2:So I mean, I don't. I think there is going to be a fight. I think the call that he did was to Gravic and he said all right, let's finish this. I loved that Nick Fury got a suit up scene. We needed the eye patch.
Speaker 1:Nick Fury took a black jacket off. Put a black jacket on. This one had more pockets. Took a hat off. Put a hat on.
Speaker 2:That was Maroon Enough. It was nice. He said you know what this is dirty? I just traveled in this. That's true. You do like to?
Speaker 1:get chained. You like to freshen up yeah?
Speaker 2:go for it, Faye.
Speaker 1:And this mausoleum was tricked out.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I had the like the howling commando symbol had an eye scanner. Is that what he did? I thought he blew a kiss to that one too.
Speaker 1:No, just that's just for outside. This one is eyeball One eyeball. Well it can't be the other one. That's what I'm saying, exactly what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:So, yeah, a fight. I think there's going to be a fight, I think called Gravic, and there is going to be some type of super scroll survival or the experiment is going to survive, because what is Marvel without scary?
Speaker 1:super scrolls around and Sonya has that doctor somewhere now. So oh yeah, she did take a doctor Can we truly trust Sonya. Well, I trust you Is she going to be doing her own experiments now.
Speaker 2:I'm here for her rights and her wrongs. Oh, I'm 100% here for everything that Sonya Fallsworth does. Wow, wow, wow, wow. You know what I want? I want to spin off. I want to spin off of this show with just the files yeah. And it could be like a remix of the X files theme, but it could just be about how she got her nice clock collection and more about the owl.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and just how she learned how to do tiny eye badges.
Speaker 2:I'm here for it.
Speaker 1:Okay, so it's like a training. It's a very prequel prequel.
Speaker 2:Well, like her and Nick Fury have a past, so that would be cool to explore that a little bit. Okay, claire Foy could play there. You go, younger, absolutely. Just do the crown progression, absolutely. You nailed it Okay.
Speaker 1:So I guess we'll have to see what happens in this final episode of Secret Invasion.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah. So next week final, final episode To the end. Mm-hmm, goodbye. Goodbye, samuel Jackson, until the marvels come out.
