Taylor what do 02:01 you have to say come on Raven Dickey on 02:04 yeah oh yeah I was pretty excited when I 02:07 saw the the trailer for this a couple 02:10 weeks back to my channel 02:12 this looks interesting okay you know 02:15 black boy it was about six or seven I 02:18 guess any eight no he's he's you know 02:23 there's no scar so I was intrigued all 02:25 right it's like we don't have their 02:27 movies like this so I was like yeah I'm 02:30 definitely down for checking this one 02:32 out but I thought it was really I 02:34 thought it was um pretty pretty good 02:36 really really had some really good 02:38 episodes they had some like pretty okay 02:39 episodes it started off a horrible it 02:43 comes yeah it didn't take too long to 02:46 get into the story but it did come by it 02:48 was like a little blank right at the 02:50 beginning on that first episode was it 02:52 started I really enjoyed it um I had a 02:56 lot of good twists in it the acting was 02:58 done that thing was really know well my 03:02 all two actors a little boy he did a lot 03:05 of things he was my son sometimes so I 03:08 was sitting there just laughing like s 03:09 he just like go off and you start 03:11 randomly doing something this is amazing 03:14 how exactly yeah that's my kid but cubed 03:17 or Sam some of that so you know having 03:21 fun just kind of watching the kids 03:23 interact I love the little girl 03:26 Esperanza yes she was like my favorite 03:30 characters I love her little smart mouth 03:32 she was just she just they care she's 03:35 doing what she won't do until you know 03:36 she felt and didn't have no I don't care 03:40 okay we talk about me and hurt my pillow 03:42 so I really and that's my daughter she 03:44 watched the show steals like she was 03:46 really um he felt I guess a new a new 03:51 respect for her almost because like she 03:54 can see like wow her being disabled and 03:56 stuff you know she's this I guess tough 04:00 and this what's the word I'm looking for 04:02 uh Nikki honor so she's just confident 04:06 her so then she didn't really allow 04:08 anybody to bring her down so my daughter 04:10 really like understood oh yeah I'm gonna 04:13 start getting more confident myself it's 04:15 not worried so much with people think oh 04:17 well telling isn't it because I enjoy I 04:23 thought I thought I thought I thought 04:25 the kids at school all of them like felt 04:28 like they were really a school so like a 04:31 lot of times when you watch these type 04:32 movies you see kids acting together they 04:35 don't really be with the graders job 04:36 they need like an adult in there with 04:38 them to act so seeing the kids just have 04:40 their own dialogue throughout the whole 04:43 shows for like most of the whole episode 04:45 I really enjoyed it 04:49 I like know this was produced I believe 04:53 by Michael B Jordan he's a definitely 04:55 one of my you know favorite actors right 04:58 now but watching him since Friday Night 05:00 Lights and the wire so I'll go way back 05:03 but yeah just seeing him and he jumped 05:09 in teacher he comes in but uh I just I 05:12 just enjoyed I thought I did a good job 05:14 he's definitely bringing us a lot of 05:17 blurred tight type stuff so he's a big 05:20 flirt I see I think I didn't know he was 05:22 that big of a clerk and I know he'd like 05:24 watches the ruler a lot of the animes he 05:32 has clothing lines of enemies 05:34 becomes a lot of offense of course he 05:37 was a black panther he had actually has 05:40 his own enemy that's on the Cartoon 05:42 Network 05:43 so yeah he is actually like the Adult 05:47 Swim part across the network yeah he 05:52 does on there too I really watched but 05:55 he loves it so I was I was only 05:59 encouraged by it I wanted to keep going 06:01 the episode is really good it has a lot 06:03 of good surprises and good you'll 06:08 definitely enjoy yes yes I'm all for 06:12 that man they were everything that you 06:14 said man I thought it was really good 06:15 show I think it's a very well-rounded 06:17 show in a lot of ways um there's some 06:20 things that kids will enjoy um I've seen 06:23 a lot of people say that it's more of a 06:25 kid's chill I don't think so I don't 06:27 think it's a good show because there's a 06:28 lot of things that are really pertinent 06:31 to adults particularly when you're 06:32 spending time with the mom and you're 06:34 going through you know her lies and 06:36 what's half 06:37 but I think there's enough things that 06:39 the kids can relate to and things that 06:41 parents can enjoy to get it's 06:44 interesting for people that like sci-fi 06:46 type of things I think it's good for 06:49 people that like more of a story and 06:51 list of the sci-fi but it's a really 06:54 good balance of things you know I think 06:57 the characters are compelling they're 06:58 interesting you know I want to find out 07:00 more about them you know you like 07:02 watching the little twerks of the 07:04 characters one of my favorite things is 07:06 watching Dion and how he reacts with his 07:09 mom and then anytime he's not around his 07:12 mom and he's just talking to like 07:14 Esperanza it's like hilarious could it 07:16 reminds me of me of a kid and how kids 07:19 are because when you become a dope and 07:21 you talk to kids he's talked to you like 07:23 they're done you know like yeah why 07:26 don't you do that I dunno like they just 07:30 right but soon as adults no wait yeah I 07:32 couldn't tell my mom about that because 07:34 you know she was happy for Nate we got a 07:36 protector from Beck exactly I was a kid 07:50 like I talk I talk about friends like 07:54 yeah we roll video so just like you I 07:58 love Esperanza she's definitely my 08:00 favorite character of the show and I can 08:03 relate exactly you don't do what Monica 08:05 is talking about you know I definitely 08:07 like the fact that she is herself you 08:10 know and she is extremely loyal and like 08:14 I said she's herself you know you're not 08:16 gonna let anybody bother her the whole 08:19 story a lot of it is about dealing on 08:22 trying to fit in it was really about 08:24 several characters trying to fit in you 08:27 know but out of all the characters see 08:30 the one that most is confident in 08:34 herself you know I love it because she 08:37 could easily be the one that is the 08:39 least confident in herself but because 08:42 of that you know this is my friend and 08:44 it doesn't matter 08:45 I'm gonna treat him well you know and 08:48 I'm gonna believe in him and if he says 08:50 he likes this thing I'm gonna be excited 08:53 about that type of thing and I'm not 08:55 gonna let anybody else talk oh we talked 08:57 about that's for babies no he likes me I 08:59 like that you know I love that like when 09:01 they were at the party you know the poor 09:03 ended up in Canada 09:18 you know last thing as far as it being 09:21 well rounded it's like everybody gets a 09:24 little piece of something the main 09:25 characters are black let me see here 09:28 again we mentioned Esperanza there's an 09:31 Asian boss in here there's a black 09:33 teacher you know really like you know I 09:36 really like the fact that they put him 09:38 in there particularly since they made a 09:40 big deal about the fact that there's 09:41 only two black kids at the whole school 09:43 so you wouldn't expect there to be a 09:45 black teacher as well 09:46 but there is a black teacher and you 09:48 know he does a really good job 09:50 connecting with his kids you know they 09:53 just really took all the people that are 09:56 kind of left out in a lot of tender 09:59 mainstream movies and TV shows and 10:02 really getting them the opportunity to 10:04 shine and I loved it I was all about it 10:06 so I think this is definitely a show 10:09 that you should watch take your time 10:10 watch it with your kids there's nothing 10:12 else if there's any foul language or you 10:14 know sexuality that if you are more of a 10:17 conservative person you might have some 10:20 issue with a couple characters but 10:23 that's if you're you know if you're a 10:24 conservative person but if you realize 10:26 that we live in 2019 regardless of your 10:29 feelings you know that this stuff is 10:32 just happening how you feel about it 10:35 that is in your face so there it is you 10:39 know it is yummy but you should get 10:45 better get this your watch 10:46 all right it is fine 10:50 the same time time you ready ah all 11:09 right mr. Taylor 11:10 what is your spoiler review oh raison D 11:14 huh okay so I really I like how they 11:21 used I liked how he found out he had 11:23 powers and he acted like what a kid will 11:26 at like once he had powers like he 11:29 started Isis making stuff been around 11:31 and I like how he did not have control 11:33 of his compactness powers 11:35 so basically going throughout the whole 11:37 Muslim show like having him learn how to 11:41 control his powers and the lot of the 11:45 Star Wars references and comic books and 11:48 I'm like what is a God father's man Pat 11:54 yeah like a peck comes in and he's like 11:57 this support role cause you know we know 11:59 Michael B Jordan he dies early I guess 12:04 he dives in you know past vision so 12:06 mm-hmm know what happens to helm until 12:08 later on by like I like how they they 12:12 basically he and we kept pretty simple 12:15 you know he had some things him moving 12:18 to stuff and then him getting the power 12:19 to kid getting powers and then like 12:21 everybody learning about and I felt 12:26 everything flowed really well I thought 12:28 I thought it looked at you I know 12:29 everything you look too cheesy cuz 12:31 sometimes someone shows is a yahoo with 12:33 sci-fi most some things are pretty good 12:36 pretty good money in there stuff like CW 12:40 sometimes they look like corny with some 12:42 of their special effects I thought I did 12:44 pretty good here it was better being on 12:47 see you tomorrow right - you were you 12:50 all over that show that movie oh yeah 12:53 yeah yeah now special effects it's 12:55 horrible 12:55 yeah yeah I like to do it 13:01 just touch this lamp stop me stop but um 13:06 uh what was Radeon it's just I guess you 13:12 just have so many different characters a 13:13 dip we could know everybody had a 13:16 character that you keep running to 13:17 Nikolas so and they didn't spend so much 13:21 time on one or two particular characters 13:23 like guess the mom and the son had the 13:25 most of time but you saw Pat he saw her 13:29 sister we saw the other kids at school 13:32 you know you saw it's the father and the 13:38 ball easy I saw a little bit of 13:40 everybody the whole stuff so it kept me 13:43 interested in the whole series it was 13:46 fun even when I first started watching 13:47 that I thought it was just a movie so I 13:50 was like still when I was starting to 13:51 get into uh all getting good cuz you 13:53 know it's like it's been like 45 minutes 13:55 okay well good or no sorry about to be 13:57 really good oh just the theory I was 14:00 like yes sounds like this is a series 14:05 yes I can watch like 8 9 10 episodes I 14:08 was excited so yeah that was kind of 14:12 like I read all to the movie like two 14:14 hour movie and I figured everyone just 14:17 cram everything into the last hour and a 14:19 half but yeah Frank yes 14:25 yo you boys quick cram I really just let 14:32 me lose there and I had me like 14:34 completely turned over with Pat like the 14:37 way they brought him in from they did a 14:39 great job like they brought him in like 14:41 the little Duke goofy you know outsider 14:43 guidance a little thrilled kids but he 14:45 already got my girl and you know he was 14:48 friends with a dad and everything but 14:50 he's like they're helping support his 14:52 guys on the stuff he ain't seeing the 14:55 whole relationship growing playing games 14:56 with have everybody's caught him like a 14:58 kid on top and then we find out at the 15:00 end of the door he's the first that's 15:02 been telling everybody the whole ring 15:05 yes daddy we should told me he was gonna 15:08 be 15:09 I'm like only gain I did not see that 15:12 coming so that was like when I say it 15:14 like it's probably that was a surprise 15:18 even though even though why even the 15:21 mall just like you killed you killed my 15:28 husband like yeah 15:29 I didn't mean to I told him tell me what 15:32 he was going and I was like well that 15:37 was pretty good that I really thought an 15:41 asian chick was the bad guy like the 15:44 whole time I thought Sudan had some hope 15:47 but he actually you know release right 15:49 now she's not the main bad guy so right 15:53 so I like how I love a lot of open doors 15:56 for theories and future episodes and 16:00 future seasons on how they can take this 16:02 they kind of love me kind of like 16:04 stranger things like on the first season 16:07 you had the demigod jogging in the world 16:10 of things called he was the bad guy and 16:12 once they stopped today finally always a 16:14 whole world that's trying to you know 16:16 take over and then that said she'll for 16:19 the next season so like here's like oh 16:20 now we know there's a supernatural being 16:23 that's trying to kill all the rest of 16:25 the people that got affected and they 16:27 can take their power so yeah I enjoyed I 16:30 can't say I watch the hair watch Dixon 16:33 this step so straight one night and then 16:36 I just finish the last two up today so 16:39 yeah it was it goes good watched a lot 16:41 of stuff haka top rock just try can't 16:43 remember it's a great great show to meet 16:46 thought was really well done 16:48 good job Michael B and the crew who 16:50 helped Netflix 16:52 what does you once again yes sir I am in 16:56 a hundred percent agreement that's why 16:58 we gotta find some more stuff that we 16:59 disagree on we're right on room locked 17:04 in I gotta find so to be contrarian with 17:06 you on yeah man um 17:10 episode 7 is the best one me tell you if 17:13 you are watching this show and you think 17:15 it's a little bit boring or maybe you're 17:17 not into it 17:18 just make it to episode 7 then when you 17:22 see Pat Wright John did not see that 17:26 coming 17:26 y'all who walks the show you know I 17:28 figured these things out I've seen so 17:30 many movies I'm like oh that's such a 17:33 sir that's him that's it I had no 17:35 clothes not that I had one thing one 17:38 piece of evidence and the only thing I 17:40 can say that I thought that Pat maybe 17:42 had ours too 17:43 because he kept getting those migrants 17:45 you know something's happening with the 17:48 migrants that that means something but 17:50 him being the crooked man no no not a 17:53 clue yeah they keep bringing up this guy 17:59 they've lost so the Asian lady what's 18:02 the name Suzanne I think there's a name 18:05 I feel listening don't let it yeah we're 18:08 gonna call her Suzanne right now yes she 18:10 has this assistant that she's always 18:12 like loris give me this Lawrence give me 18:14 that and like Lauren is always looking 18:16 at he does okay something like Laura's 18:21 he must be got you know he's that best 18:23 yeah that's the guy right there 18:24 Lawrence can reveal himself look at what 18:29 great and you know I really love the 18:33 city the development of Deon powers it's 18:36 they're doing in a really good way like 18:38 you said he doesn't control him at all 18:40 and then he just had he spurts work he 18:44 shows you the next thing that he can do 18:45 you like women he learn to just take 18:49 these balls of energy like oh you can do 18:53 that now to it this teleport turn 18:56 invisible and but in the same token he's 18:58 still a kid so he's my training with the 19:00 lady was he shocking to me which is 19:11 interesting I guess that acts there was 19:13 actually no payoff in that part because 19:16 he never uses them he never uses the 19:18 invisibility like I don't know if 19:21 problem if the 19:23 I can see them when they're invisible or 19:24 not but he never uses it anyway so it 19:27 kind of yeah now that I think about it 19:30 that was probably a little bit of 19:31 problem with the writing because you 19:32 don't want to introduce something that 19:34 much time doing it any time teaching him 19:38 how to be invisible only for him to 19:40 never use it any other time in the rest 19:42 of the show you know particularly said 19:44 the lady died you know so if he do that 19:46 if he does it in season two it won't 19:49 really mean anything 19:50 versus it being somehow connected to him 19:54 you know to her dying and him being able 19:57 to transcend that depth and being able 19:59 to come in invisible so that may be 20:01 something that they missed but other 20:03 than that I think the writing is pretty 20:05 good at for historians concerned again I 20:09 like the fact that this so many 20:11 different characters and I love how the 20:13 Pat and the Asian boss switch characters 20:16 could be definite think Suzanne is the 20:18 bad guy um I only have a couple of 20:21 dislikes really this is actually only 20:23 the same dislike and I could see how 20:25 certain people are gonna dislike this 20:28 show and you guys probably wouldn't 20:30 think I would feel this way based off of 20:32 what I just said about the Joker my 20:35 thing is that I'm an equal-opportunity 20:36 person I believe believe in equality for 20:39 everybody so my only dislike in this 20:41 show is that every single white male 20:45 character in this show is a bad guy at 20:48 some point every single one Pat is the 20:51 main villain right all right 20:54 there's a white male teacher he's a 20:56 racist yeah yeah Jonathan is the main 21:02 kid initially the main villain kid 21:05 initially now he turns around and get 21:07 themselves together which I'm like that 21:09 a lot I like it reminds me of my mom 21:11 being a fourth grade teacher and being 21:13 able to deal with the difficult kids and 21:15 sometimes if you can reach them they can 21:18 get out of that I really like seeing 21:20 that transformation of Jonathan he just 21:22 needed somebody to believe in him and to 21:23 get around the bright people and stop 21:25 trying to fit in with the bad kids so I 21:27 like that but he still was the what the 21:30 main villain initially and even the 21:32 little white boy at the end they're only 21:35 white 21:43 we're doing one your daddy just got 21:49 killed and then the lady won't help you 21:52 shit now that that was kind of funny to 21:54 me tiptoes like it kind of felt like cuz 21:57 I'll guess I'm just gonna say it was a 22:00 white woman telling the white boy that 22:02 she can't help him because you gotta 22:03 help black shit I can't help you you 22:08 believe you're oh I got the eye 22:11 what are you gonna go see Dina take me 22:13 to you don't want to help me like my 22:15 daddy got it daddy died in the same 22:18 situation here 22:20 he got powers why do I gotta stay here I 22:24 only like the whole movie 22:35 [Music] 22:39 Wow and speaking of her character I 22:42 forget with her name this right now 22:44 because again a little small problem 22:47 with the reigning after she died they 22:50 never even said her name again I don't 22:54 even know everything that one took not 23:00 one time not once Beckett did they say 23:04 even say her name she said Oh Pat he's 23:07 the one he killed more literally 23:16 murdered a girl right in front of you in 23:18 your face and it is and they are noser 23:21 trained with her to fight return see 23:24 then you know what Charlie she can still 23:26 stay with the white boy exactly but 23:37 anyway um yeah I think this is a great 23:39 watch I guess real quick oh so she goes 23:43 one now the way they got rid of the 23:46 leash dude I was like okay I kind of 23:50 like cuz yeah you found yeah you science 23:53 but I go get a pole she just like runs 23:55 into the Lightning field like just 23:57 sticks and metal full of it like me like 24:00 like no I'm like you're sticking a metal 24:03 pole and like me right 24:07 yeah that's not I'm like yeah like how 24:10 are you doing that um I could see it 24:12 like if they found something to throw it 24:14 at him and it got in there and then they 24:15 they had them shock it but like yeah I 24:18 mean you're throwing lightning I was 24:20 gonna get in that you're fucking dying 24:22 but so yeah that part yeah here the last 24:28 episode be honest did it kind of it 24:32 wasn't bad but it definitely you know 24:34 nor from episode 7 it went down a little 24:38 bit you know because you got that part 24:40 she definitely should have been killed 24:41 and then um you get the whole thing with 24:44 them making this big thing that's gonna 24:46 kill the storm 24:47 so you're thinking okay these kids have 24:50 come up something come up with something 24:51 that's actually gonna do something they 24:53 spent a lot of time talking about this 24:56 project the storm killer the name of the 24:59 episode is the storm killer and then he 25:02 comes out with this little something it 25:07 did nothing go hard go hard right and 25:16 then on what else happened during that 25:19 misty here I was something else it's 25:21 kind of like yeah the riding could have 25:23 been a little bit better right over 25:25 there and then in that end you know but 25:28 you know overall it doesn't take away 25:30 from the whole it's not bad enough that 25:31 it just ruins it for you right Game of 25:33 Thrones I imagine which I never saw I 25:40 took anything else that you ready to 25:42 check out now I yeah you see me over 25:46 here like show for us um anything else
