man 2 housefull for Aquaman
01:50
oh yeah I know these guys okay so
01:53
they're all this they're doing the
01:54
episode oh here's like getting pretty
01:56
good they were doing video game stuff I
01:58
was getting into it and then just like
02:00
change don't go like oh I wasn't
02:04
expecting this um I'm gonna just
02:08
continue to get weirder as it can at the
02:11
movie continue that I was like I don't
02:14
if there was me by myself apart with the
02:16
finish tomorrow so close on next episode
02:19
so I can face tomorrow you loved it it
02:25
was the better of the three day I didn't
02:27
watch because of course the guys know
02:29
how to act because you know we see those
02:31
big blue big blockbuster movies I seen
02:34
the guy who plays black man so he was in
02:36
on that he's shown us on Netflix run
02:40
down I forget what's coming but the
02:44
music you know the music the music one
02:47
hello I was in it the other yeah what it
02:51
was calm
02:53
it wasn't that I already liked them in
02:57
there so okay but you know who the story
03:01
was cool of me definitely drawing you in
03:04
and you heard one powerfully and just to
03:07
kind of see what what did occur was like
03:09
kind of left field not my cup of tea but
03:12
you know maybe a lot of people didn't
03:13
like it a lot of a lot of twists and the
03:19
conclusion I didn't really feel happy
03:21
with the conclusion at all so it doesn't
03:24
love me it kind of left me what kind of
03:26
like the WHA
03:29
that tales from the crypt but they
03:32
always have like a bad ending
03:33
it's like tell his chance when the
03:35
curtain I was in their endings so it's
03:37
not it's kind of lonely that's like it
03:38
wasn't an innovation warning I know so I
03:42
was kind of like I'll just check the
03:44
next row for the next one's better and
03:46
then know the next there isn't something
03:50
that you as a man wanting wait where you
03:54
going as it definitely wasn't something
03:57
that that you as a married man want
04:02
about this at all no oh my old guys this
04:06
is gonna be bad this looks like more
04:09
vegetable watch the whole episode of
04:11
this okay this is gonna be some awkward
04:14
questioning over here just to show oh
04:19
man no games all plays men but uh yeah
04:26
when he let me put that thing when they
04:29
put a little sense
04:30
and he falls there I'm like I'm done
04:32
soon as I saw that part I'm like never
04:34
play that game you know pass out
04:37
somebody just smack him in the face oh
04:39
yeah I can that was that was like no
04:42
scary by itself before anything looks
04:46
look and and right on cue there Dee is
04:49
watching three at a time so that one
05:00
yeah
05:03
three of the three I definitely agree
05:06
that this one was the better I thought
05:09
the acting was well I thought the story
05:11
was compelling you know it was
05:13
interesting what they were what they
05:14
were going through very weird awkward
05:17
situation Dean we're talking about
05:20
Blackbeard episode one that you watched
05:24
with this you know that you and Chuck
05:26
have to talk about how to have some
05:28
conversations about yeah but the
05:35
situation was awkward you know the no
05:37
two best friends and then they're having
05:40
fun kind of you know messing around it's
05:42
very interesting though because it kind
05:45
of makes you think that that's kind of
05:46
how things could go in the future not
05:49
necessarily so much it's like best
05:51
friends doing that type of stuff but I
05:53
definitely could see a little of the
05:56
especi transsexual virtual reality like
06:03
basically yeah exactly you know I
06:10
definitely could see and virtual reality
06:12
because gets better and better and
06:14
better and I definitely see getting to a
06:16
point where you can start to have those
06:19
physical sensations you know from those
06:22
things I mean you already have chat
06:23
rooms where you have men that will
06:25
become women or or dating sites you know
06:28
and these are not people that I would
06:30
say are the the traditional example of
06:34
what you would call transsexual right
06:36
they're not dressing up as a woman and
06:38
going out to meet people as a woman they
06:41
are a man a hundred percent a man
06:43
but online they are just they have
06:45
created a female identity and I can see
06:48
that happening more and more so this is
06:51
something thing that like Mira tends to
06:53
to D says she's never playing Street
06:56
Fighter again the black mirror tends to
07:05
do a lot of social commentary on this
07:07
type of stuff however I will say overall
07:09
just as an episode I was a little
07:11
disappointed just because that's this
07:13
does not look black mirror is typically
07:15
about you know what I mean
07:17
like black mirror is really more like a
07:19
Twilight Zone type of thing
07:21
awkward situations people are getting
07:23
killed or killed you know it's
07:26
definitely more tritone as opposed to
07:28
more of a commentary on you know love in
07:33
that time stuff there is one other
07:34
episode like that it deals with fade
07:36
back to the virtual reality couple which
07:39
is pretty interesting as a virtual
07:41
reality Landsman couple but that's
07:42
really the only episode that I can think
07:44
of that really does goes on love and
07:49
emotions and relationships and not on
07:52
action things and you saw you know
07:54
Anthony Mackie on the cover and you know
07:56
that's black Captain America right now
08:01
oh no oh no cat oh no cat no then it
08:06
ended episode you like Jane cat
08:12
it's right it's funny huh I wonder how
08:15
they pitched it to him because for the
08:17
most part the two guys didn't have to do
08:19
anything they only had their actors
08:21
pretended to do it and they had two
08:23
other people to play there you know the
08:25
man the female only they had a stop but
08:27
at the end they did have to kiss like
08:29
one time it was funny how they did it
08:31
right the night right we gonna we go
08:33
alright okay and then it was hilarious
08:36
like okay are we cool now we're good
08:43
started fighting in stencil area so I
08:46
thought they overall the the quality of
08:49
the episode was good like I said I just
08:51
I guess for me for a black mirror
08:53
episode it wasn't really my cup of tea
08:55
I probably would've done better if this
08:57
were its own show but I can see why it
08:59
could be black bear alright well go
09:01
ahead and jump into season I'm sorry
09:03
episode 2 again if you were watching go
09:06
ahead and leave a comment here and let
09:08
us know what you thought about it I see
09:10
where king bill it's safe to eat loved
09:12
it episode 2 basically gets into a
09:18
gentleman I'm trying to describe it
09:21
without giving spoilers and now give
09:22
spoilers over time but ever so two gets
09:24
into air a gentleman who kidnapped
09:26
somebody that's working at our a place
09:29
called smithereens again that's in the
09:31
gunpoint ends up in the middle of a
09:35
field surrounded by police officers with
09:37
no guns I just say that cuz I know
09:39
you're gonna say stuff about it come out
09:42
and he uses the entire opportunity as a
09:45
way to get in contact with the CEO of a
09:49
particular company again smithereens as
09:55
a matter of fact I destroy heavily it's
09:57
probably the worst one of the worst
09:59
episodes of black mirror that I think I
10:02
mean is yeah it's been bad - you can
10:08
watch something up see but this crap
10:11
the whole thing the whole thing is just
10:14
a public's favorite is this a psh is a
10:16
public service announcement
10:18
this is don't text and drive don't be on
10:21
Facebook and your
10:22
right that was it that was that's what
10:25
the whole thing was about were back in
10:27
yo saw he was checking his quote-unquote
10:30
Facebook and drove into somebody and
10:33
killed his fiancee okay I don't have a
10:36
problem with that what's the thing
10:37
bigger PSA I don't have a problem with
10:39
the topic but if that's what it was
10:41
gonna be they could have done it in a
10:43
much better way
10:45
helling way no boring and stupid and
10:49
then they killed my boy well they don't
10:51
quote kill my boy the light what's his
10:55
name was a black dude in the back I
10:57
don't know oh no my black dude in the
11:00
back I'm like you didn't slap around get
11:03
no kidnap and then you start just eating
11:06
feelings he let you free I'm like it was
11:10
like first of all I had to watch all
11:11
this know happen to find out is just
11:14
because you know he he killed his wife
11:16
because he looked down on his phone
11:18
what's me I just don't understand like
11:21
it's not necessarily it's my fault it's
11:27
like I was drinking like but you can you
11:29
need to be able to you know control your
11:31
own self don't blame somebody else on
11:33
something that you know took off for
11:35
your attention
11:35
turn your damn phone off right it's you
11:38
know I mean I stopped looking at your
11:40
phone when you dropped me you know
11:42
what's wrong so I mean I didn't
11:44
understand the purpose of why he did
11:47
that I mean you should probably just
11:48
blame yourself
11:49
and I mean if he felt that I was in in
11:51
it you can't get over it I mean if you
11:54
think about it the Facebook or Facebook
11:58
was just as guilty as the manufacturer
12:00
of the car yeah I mean you gotta are you
12:02
gonna are you gonna call the CEO of the
12:05
car manufacturer if I'm if I had I know
12:08
it's my fault but if I hadn't been in
12:09
this car
12:10
I wouldn't direct it and and also and
12:13
the phone company too you know even
12:15
though he gets a choice to and if he
12:18
wants notifications to show up on his
12:20
phone
12:21
you don't have to be told what stuff
12:23
comes all he could just check it when he
12:24
goes on a check he he enabled his
12:26
notifications on his device so he could
12:29
get every little pop-up that comes up
12:31
and I guess I understand it doesn't make
12:33
addictive but I'm saying you gotta have
12:34
some
12:35
you know some clue as a adult was like
12:38
yeah you got make better choices and
12:39
this choice is something who I've
12:41
learned from that you know me to me he
12:45
could have used his life a lot more to
12:48
really into showed he grew from this
12:50
type of a horrible know it horrible know
12:54
thing to have in his life I mean yeah
12:56
it's tragic what happened but it's a
12:59
lessons you need to learn from that and
13:00
how they you think he was looking for
13:03
somebody to blame and looking for more
13:06
people to hurt which a lot of people in
13:07
this world today try to do and they
13:09
don't want to face up you know look in
13:11
the mirror they go hey I'm gonna kill
13:13
everybody cuz I'm not sitting you know
13:16
because people are like I didn't get
13:18
what I wanted in life so I'm gonna go
13:19
destroy people's lives
13:21
I miss cowards those are kind of me
13:24
exactly D says the the mirror get the
13:28
black dude it was so funny after we
13:33
watched it we were going through the
13:35
credits all slow to see what the black
13:36
do didn't die it was like it's 30
13:39
seconds left wanna go back to it and it
13:41
just won't slow it down maybe he'll show
13:42
up at the end of the credits nope you
13:45
never stood up again just that was me
13:48
that was the worst ending yeah it was a
13:51
stupid ending like cliffhangers are okay
13:54
mm-hmm but it should be less compelling
13:56
and makes you want to say huh I wonder
13:59
what happens like okay see you yesterday
14:01
was not the best cliffhanger ever but it
14:04
still makes me wonder I wonder what
14:05
happened here like I wonder how this
14:07
story unfolds that didn't I didn't feel
14:09
that way at all I just felt like this
14:12
story was incomplete and inconclusive
14:14
and it just ended in a dumb way and I
14:17
was disappointed but what do you mean we
14:19
don't know what happens that that's not
14:21
how that's not how a cliff anger s
14:23
wasn't a good clear finger you just
14:25
ended you just wrote the whole story
14:27
ripped off the last page for no turn
14:29
reason that's what that was
14:31
so we watched the third episode as well
14:34
and hopefully that was a vindication so
14:37
what was how did you like the third
14:39
episode two and I paired up so the more
14:46
pointless writing and
14:48
story the story was stupid to me I know
14:52
being finished completed all the way
14:54
through its kind of I was kind of zoning
14:56
out I was watching it because I was
14:58
bored you know I didn't like you know I
15:01
remember when I watched some before I
15:02
remember I saw one in my season three or
15:04
four and I saw episode I think he like
15:06
had a he went to like a episode like
15:08
Star Trek or something and basically it
15:13
was I enjoy and it was enjoyable and I
15:15
and there was another one that there was
15:17
a dick tip game that you know it's kind
15:20
of lounging out the first episode it was
15:21
like addictive computer game world and
15:23
they will all go into and like even
15:27
though it was interesting like all the
15:29
way through but I wasn't compelled to
15:34
finish it even you know so I don't I
15:38
didn't like any of these episodes not my
15:43
cup of tea I have to say I would agree
15:46
this one was definitely much more in
15:49
line with what black Miri is all about
15:52
you know technology something weird
15:54
somebody goes into a coma
15:55
even though definitely much more alive
15:59
and I actually like Miley Cyrus in this
16:02
you said it was my other side that's
16:10
myself okay yeah I'm not she did a
16:12
decent job playing actually herself I
16:15
wasn't a thoroughly impressed with her
16:16
playing the little cute little robot
16:18
thing but the of her playing herself was
16:20
but um it was a decent episode like I
16:25
would this would be like lower tier
16:27
black mirror but it wasn't bad like the
16:29
second episode but it just you know we
16:32
this if the other two episodes have been
16:35
like really great or much more
16:37
traditional than this episode probably
16:39
would have seemed better or kind of fit
16:40
here but because the the first episode
16:43
was good but not really black mirror and
16:45
the second episode was just bad then
16:47
this didn't help you know the ending of
16:52
this story again ruined it for me I
16:55
guess you didn't probably didn't see the
16:56
game but it's like there are if I can
16:59
control everything you know
17:02
and then always sooner she puts the girl
17:04
into the coma and then the girl whacks
17:05
it wakes up out of the coma she
17:07
confronts her on the odd doesn't see her
17:09
the arm is laying on the stage and is as
17:11
in control of everything she as she is
17:14
she's like what do you what is this but
17:21
this is not the arm this is not the one
17:23
that's been in control everything and
17:25
what are you talking about you don't
17:26
want to die
17:27
nobody's come out with a gun is this a a
17:31
van busting into the arena okay nobody
17:35
has a gun
17:36
calm down what are you talking about you
17:39
don't want to die
17:40
and then the very last thing but she
17:41
says he's like that's it
17:46
roll roll credits am i what do you mean
17:50
f it like that
17:51
what that's stupid who brought your time
17:53
off so yeah this whole season it's just
17:57
it's bad man that I'm disappointed
17:59
because again I'm really excited to buy
18:01
a black mirror I think black here it's
18:02
great and I just feel like the
18:04
showrunner it was a completely different
18:06
person and so I was disappointed I was
18:09
embarrassed because I wanted to share
18:10
this with Chuck I was very excited to
18:12
say hey man come on check it out oh look
18:14
look anthony mackie about to make
18:18
history r yeah and and he probably
18:21
didn't make this career you know poor
18:23
little bit probably in a bunch of movies
18:25
