Thank you all for joining us here on this bonus show where we talk about TV shows from across the stream of Everse that we are watching some of our all time favorites. Every month a different one of us is doing the pickin'. This month, Matt Lieb Use the picker. That's right . And what shows did you pixes? I picked for us first of all, thank you, Gollum No problem s. Did you pixes? Yes. I picked Stupid Matt Lebes . I told you he was Txie. I told you he was filthy leaps. All right, it's getting a little jar jar guys. Okay . Sorry, that was kind of bombad, I apologize. Yeah, yeah, we're doing our best. So I chose Downton Abbey. This is a British television show that somehow broke through, you know, British containment and became sort of a hit across the pond as I say in old London town and I have been a huge fan of this show for a long time. Oh, I love it. I've seen I mean I've seen it multiple times all the way through . I've seen all of the movies . This last movie that just came out, which is the third Downton Abbey movie , my wife and I went and saw it on her birthday. That's how much we love. Is Dounton Abbey Revenge of the Seth? That's right, exactly . Finally, we get to see how Darth Vader was created and he's a duke . But yeah, so I love this show and it's it's one of the shows that's for me I like you know when you evangelize you know something because you just really wish everyone could be on the same basis. It's me with Christ. Right. That's you with Christ, you know, that's Emily with Satan. And with me , it's this show. I just , you know, I want I want it to be as ubiquitous as the Sopranos in terms of like references . It's not quite there yet, but I hope one day that everyone will love it the way I do. Yeah. Emily, did you have a connection to this? Is this something you've watched before? I've actually watched I've watched things like here and there because my grandmother was absolutely obsessed with this show . She would just leave it on and then sleep in her chair and that was like mostly what it was and it was just on like PBS or something to add a camera. Yeah. It was just on TV all the time and now you have to pay for it, but like it used to just be free. But yeah, she would just I'd come over and she'd have it on and she liked talking about it. She like she very much wanted to be English. Like that's what she wanted to be. But so I would only watch it when we were hanging out together in her assisted living home. Yeah . But so yeah, it was good to finally watch like, okay, how did this begin? It feels very like what was it? It was called like Mumford. I can't remember park. Oh , Gosford Park. Gosfield Mumford. I love the show where they all go hey hey stupid five years of music where everyone was like hey yeah I mean this is good this is great. So Gosford Park was written by the creator of the show. Oh yeah, well that makes fucking sense . So I saw that movie. I love that movie. So this was a little more of that. I also love a period piece. Anything is like has costuming from any time before the nineteen seventies. I'm like, yep , that's for me . So this was very cool. And this episode was long as shit. I did very well did not know how long this fucking show is gonna be. Yeah. The other thing usually they're usually an hour long. This one is a little bit longer than that . With the ads, it was super long . Yeah but it is worth it What about you, Jordan? Anything else at all? So I watched this on PBS when it originally aired . And I do think it was my mom who recommended to me. My mom's a huge doubt in Abbey fan. And I watched the first season and I fucking loved it and then I just stopped . And I'm like, oh, there's more doubt in Abbey. But I think to me and this happens to me with TV shows sometimes . I'll watch a season and it'll end and I'll feel kind of done with it. And yeah, that was a story. And yeah, and it's always been one of those things like yeah, there's all this doubt in Abbey. I haven't seen. There's these movies and so yeah, I always am kind of curious to go back but you know guys there's a lot of TV these days Oh boy that's kinda how bears and the pits and the separances I don't even know whether I'm coming or going . Yeah. Yeah, that's kind of how I feel about heated rivalry. I don't need another season. It was perfect. It's a perfect show as it was. That's kind of I gonna' getm shit for this, I'm sure, but that's how I felt about yellow jackets. I watched one season totally . And then we started the second season and I just was like, oh no , I don't care anymore. And then I couldn't get through it. I think I got through . I love yellow jackets . You're right, Matt . I love you. I can't wait for the last season . But I think it does not get better Awesome shit still happens, but it becomes a very uneven program . And it's still like a lot of fun, but that first season is really great and it never figured out how to be more of a show. Yeah, for sure. But I still do love all my little buddies. We eat each other sometimes. Of course. But this show does get better. And in fact, it does it. I'm kind of interested in here . Yeah, I think it is only I think the last season it feels like it's dragging . But then there's three movies, two of them because they're so fucking old . Like I mean, look, it is, I'm telling you guys this show, you gotta watch the whole thing. It's so good. You will not regret watching all of Downton Abbey. Oh god guys , I feel like we were talking about Harry and the Hendersons earlier for an episode and we were talking about stuff that makes us cry and that like white fanging someone like hurting their feelings and telling them to get out of here. Yeah, there's there's like a little bit of a white fanging in this kind of Yeah at the end of the episode mister Bates Mr kind of the big foot of the show he gets you, know he,'s well he's the one injured foot. Yeah, that's right. Yeah , exactly. A big foot with a one foot. It's fine. He likes He likes to make those jokes. And by the way , you know , debates . I have like a grand, I mean, this is me assuming anyone who listens to this show and specifically our bonus episodes has seen all of Down Abbey, but I have a theory about Mr. Bates, which is that he's bad and evil and the show does everything but say he's bad and evil and people don't know. I think he's a murderer and a thief and a liar and manipulative and he I think he commits multiple murders through the run of the show. That's my just gonna put that out there. He cried in this episode and it made me cry manipulative . When you see well, listen, when I see like a very masculine man like yeah , like cry and he's older like that, I don't know. It just looks like no, I get you this, this show will fuck you up with emotions. Yeah. Got ahead. So let's yeah, let's talk about the pilot of Downton Add . We start with the beeping of a telegraph. That's right , a piece of technology that defines an era. It is changing . If they made a show like this about the era now, it would just be an AI video of the rock convincing our elderly parent s to send it their bank account routing number Yeah , technology. And I love a show where the or a movie or I just love a piece of fiction where the theme is here comes modernity . I think that's real. Yeah, I mean it's why I love Madman so much. It's about like modernity fucking hitting these guys in the face and them not being prepared for it. It's like yeah, so I like that a lot about it. We see a train. We see a bunch of these telegraph lines kind of being put up all over this pristine English village. It is april nineteen twelve. And then I immediately knew . Did you know I had kind of forgot about the thing that's the big like reveal. Did that? My birthday birthday my birthday is april fourteenth. So the Titanic hit the iceberg on april fourteenth. So in nineteen twelve because I love that movie. So I just went april nineteen twelve because they the telegraph they were like oh my god Oh no I should governor Yeah . But you said like , I've got to run this upstairs and she goes, well running it fast isn't gonna do anything . Right. Yeah, yeah. Because all these people are fucking dead. Like that's the way it is . But yeah, so I knew it was be going that to and then I was like, Oh cool. And they do mention Oh no there are limits to man's ubris there. Oh yeah I guess what they said he was unsinkable yeah anyway Downton Abbey has electricity and that's not a normal thing which is Yes. Downton Abbey very modern is a modern manner house Downtown Abbey We're kind of like before we kind of meet the kind of rich folks who live in Downton Abbe y. We're meeting all the servants. Yes, they're getting these telegraphs, these at this point, mysterious telegraphs . There's a new girl. There's kind of a new, I think she's Irish kind of servant girsl who's kind of she's the like audience surrogate who's like, We have to tell her what to do. Here's the fire is like the thing , you know Yeah, she certainly talks enough to be me but it's like she just if you didn't know any better, you'd say she was the lead singer like lead singer Yeah that she's the main character because she never shuts up like yeah yeah yeah and I don't know I'm not a fan of this character . Well, she's great. She's super anxious and like freakin' all. Are you talking about Daisy? Daisy, Daisy. Oh , Daisy, she's not Irish. She's like somewhere, you know, they have like a bunch of different kind of British people. It's like, oh, I'm Welsh, oh I'm from Birmingham, yeah. I'm from Mention. I'm from the North Ah yeah anyway the only accent we know is cock names It's all Dick Van Dyke from Mary Pop and Spain . Yeah Peaky show blinders. I don't know Peaky they all say peaky all the peak blinders yeah. So they're making, you know, nineteen twelve rich people food. I'm always like trying to get a look at the food they're making. It all looks it all makes me feel insane. I think I see someone carrying a plate of rice with hard boiled eggs on it. Yeah. Jesus. It's crazy. Anyway, but that's when we learned. And it was for breakfast. Yeah, I don't know. Rice and eggs, I guess. That's just that's how it is. That's why the British took over the world was so that they could put some spice on their shitty bland food. Yeah, to take over some countries how to cook. Yeah . But yes, this is when we learned that the news that everyone everyone was very sad to hear was that the Titanic has sunk and wouldn't you know it but the two heirs to the Downton Abbey fortune were on the Titanic . And this is a classic , you know, this is a this is a pride and prejudice situation. Dad, he's got three daughters and no male heir and a girl could not possibly be the heir of this giant house. It's against the rules, man. So yeah , so that's so you know, that's kind of going on who's going to be the heir and that's when master Mr Bates town . He is a distinguished gentleman. He's going to be the footman to Lord Granthem the valley excuse me the valley to Lord Grantham. I call him Lord G . And but he has he has a limp. He hasn't a mysterious injury. So kind of the other , you know, the other people who work in the house kind of , they don't like that he's been elevated to this distinguished position because he has this injury and maybe he can't do all the stuff that he that he needs to be doing he caught me in line . Like there's one guy who's got sort of like a beatles like Liverpool accent. His name is Thomas and he's just evil as fuck he's evil as fuck evil and he and Miss O'Bri an, they get together and they scheme. And that's what they smoke. They smoke and scheme. They smoke and they scheme. I hate imminent smoking. So much. Flames on the side of my face. I hate them so much . But so someone else comes to the house who also is concerned about where all this fucking money's gonna go. Yeah, that's right. It's Dan Maggie Smith Countess . This is she's an iconic bitch . Yes, mama, she ate and left no crumbs This is one of the best characters in TV. Like she's as good as Al Swarengen and Homer. Yes. She's so yeah, she's fucking awesome. Everything she says is a great laugh. Yeah , and I there were so many it's dowager countess jokes when this came out. She everyone was obsessed with how she is the greatest. Yeah, I would say she is one of the greatest television characters of all time. And she is so funny. Maggie Smith kills it in this role in ways that like I just don't think can ever be top . You know, Julian Fellows has another show that I like called the Gilded Age. It's on HBO . That's the same guy same guy. And I enjoy the show, but you know , and I love Christine Barranski . Yeah. I think she's great in it. I think she's wonderful. How to tell him that movie the Grinch you love, Matt. I know she is in that grinch ass movie. Hot is fucking the grinch. She's hotter than the ref. That's that was her, you know, slipper socks, medium. You gotta watch that movie.. It's really cool Okay, cool. But yeah, I love Bransky's really a bone zone. Sibil. Sibyl. I watched Sibil, like crazy because the oxygen network existed when I was in high school. Oh yeah, and it was finally television for women. Well, that's how I discovered Sibyl. And then there was also like Strangers with candy was on their show. Oh, that's a great show. Cool. And that channel fucking ruled it was a good channel. But anyways, the sort of , you know, Dowager Countess character, the Maggie Smith character of the Gilded Age is played by Bransky and she's good in it, but no one reaches the heights that Maggie Smith is. And here is whenever she's on screen, this place in my head I love maggage , love mag gies Maggie . Anyway, so that's you can hear the rest of that if you want. Yeah, that a big old yes mama. Yeah Did you just learn this Yes Mama thing Jordan? Yes . Have you guys seen Drag Race? Because I never heard you say that ever and you said it twice. You said it twice. My new thing. People love it when straight guys say that right? Oh yeah still to this day. Love it because it was something people said four years ago. That's fine. It's on fleak. It's on fleak. It's charming, it's charming. I like it. But yeah, the first Maggie Smith like scene is so funny because these two heirs have just died and she's talking to Lord Grantham's wife. American wife. American wife . And this is what she says. Better than a mini ature wife. About poor Patrick, of course. We were all so fond of him. But I never cared for James. He was too like his mother and a naughty woman never drew breaths A nastier woman never drew breath. Fucking the burns that she has on this show are so incredibly funny. I love that no one can be offended when she says shit like that too. Like Lady Gotham just goes, yeah, okay, this is not she says like Yeah, because you do not want to incur her wrath because if she's gonna read a dead guy , she will read the shit out of you. So you just kind of like, you just watch your step when can't wait to get to that age. Well, yes, I can wait to get to that age. I feel like once you're at that age, people let you say anything. Yeah , yeah. I mean, I can say anything back anywhere, but you know what I mean? Maybe I'm just talking censoring yourself What do you really think? I mean , I believe I can talk about getting fingered more often . Yeah . So yeah, so the , you know, a power vacuum in Downton Abbey. Who's going to get this money? We kind of meet we meet the three daughters. There's three daughters. And you know, they're very like Pride and Prejudicey. They're kind of the ones from Pride and Prejudice. There's Mary , there's Edith, the middle one. That name, Edith, that is a rough name. You better be hot as fuck if you got unfortunately she is she's treated as the ugly duck duckling she's gorgeous, but they treat her as the ugly duckling throughout the show. And then there's the youngest Sibyl who is maybe one of the most beautiful women who've ever lived. And all my homies when this was airing sat around and talked about, okay, gun to your head, you have to marry one of the Grantham girls. Sybil. Which one were you, Jordan? I think for me it's Mary. Yeah. Really? Yeah. She's great. I'm a marry girl too, I think. She's a bitch, but I like her. She's cold. She's too cold for me. Sibybil is great. She's she's incredible. Yeah, so the girl who played Sybil, she's in the show called Harlots. I don't know if you guys ever watched that show. It is watched a couple of those. So dark and good. I love it. Samantha Mort on. It's about the ladies who of the body houses in England and I don't remember what time period . You gotta watch that show. It's fucking love Sibyl. So Mary as the oldest kid , she was supposed to marry her cousin . Oh yeah, this show just got hot. This show just got hot and abbey porn . Oh, oh wow . Because marrying your cousin, they've already got it built in there. That's true. You already got like the incest like SEO already Yeah, in there. I'm gonna I'm gonna do a quick washing machine at Downton. I hope no one gets stuck . Me is stuck in the marmalade, yeah . Yeah, me is stuck in the marmalade. I really don't know how to do B aritish acc ent other than instead of saying I, you say me so there's so there's a guy coming to the house who they think could marry Mary and kind of put this whole thing to bed . This guy, he's a little wiener and he's a duke. What's this guy's name? Matt? I just called him the duke in this. You know what? I don't remember. He doesn't I think he makes some other appearances eventually, but I don't remember him. He's the duke. The duke. He's the So he comes to town, they offer him they offer him mister Bates to be like his attendant, but he says he would rather use Thomas the scheming footman who he recognizes from something before. We'll learn later that their relationship goes deeper than all that. Sure does. But so yeah, so him and Thomas kind of pair up . And then so the duke, they kind of try and set her up with Mary. And there's a scene where she has never like in the servant's quarters. What are you holding up to the camera? Down on Abbybe. Down on Abbey, the porn parody. You found that in forty five seconds. Trails from the bottomly manor. I mean honestly , good enough . Can we wrap this up I have something to watch? Oh no , I something have else to watch. Yeah, I got to do something. How many subscribers till we just start reviewing port? How many subscribers? I was actually gonna pitch something to you guys . Oh no . That's a watching porn . No, well, I mean, yeah, but no, like we do the like movie porn parody like videos for like special occasions or something. It's just I think we need I think at some point when we have enough subscribers , then we offer that as a as a bonus bonus bonus. I like that yeah I like that. We really make them we really make them dance for them . I do think that exactly. Watching, I mean , I wonder what the Harry and the Hendersons one is like yeah . I'll tell you this. I have attempted in college to like watch a porn movie. Like I watched or I tried to watch Pirates , you know, there was like the most expensive porn movie of all time. Yeah, yeah. But that was never heard in a maybe a kind of a re internet or a pre broadband world. Right. The idea was that porn movies were going to get more expensive. Right. And they were going to become more and more like movies and yes, yes budget. Yeah , come with a you know. And yeah, I'll tell you this right now . As you're watching it, you're like, I don't want to do this anymore because you're either going to get horny, start masturbating you are three minutes or now I've got right now I've got another more to go. Got another hour forty five . It's just terrible . Of people doing like vertical drama acting? Of just people attempting , you know? Verdict Vertical drama stuff, everybody keeps going. It's AI and vertical dramas. I'm like, I don't know who you're telling this to. Who not me? Like ain't nobody ain't nobody can name a vertical drama, but I can't. Nobody That's a quibi and we can name I can name more porn parodies exactly . Anyway anyway so, the duke . So Mary has not been in the servant's quarters of the house she lives in the Duke, he's being a little mischief . He's been a little stinker. He's taking her to the servant's quarters and her acting in this scene is so fucking good . Like types of stories, to get you to kind of buy into the stakes of it, you have to believe that this shit that doesn't mean anything to us anymore was so important to them and like her not wanting to be caught in the servants' quarters. You can just tell that it fucking freaks her out. She's like, this will like , you know, destroy my reputation if I'm seen in this room. Well also I, thought that there was an interesting two things at the same time because it's like, why is this man of higher status than me forcing me to go into someone's bedroom while they're not there? Like there was other stuff where I was like, oh no, she's gonna be ruined because she's caught like making out with a man who is not her husband. So yeah, that's what I was really worried about. And then they go into one of the servants' rooms and he's rifling through their drawers. And I'm like, What the fuck is this guy? And later you find out. Yeah. And I think what I love about this scene is you're right , you know, the acting is superb . But what's great about it is up until this point, Mary has been super cold hearted, like her, you know, betrothed cousin has just died on the Titanic . Now who will I fuck that cousin my's dead? And so she's been kind of like , you know, cold and kind of mean. She said some mean shit shit to Edith , her you know, middle sister. Well, Edith's kind of a little cunt too though. Yeah. Well, you know, they both they both are catty with each other and that dynamic continues She does it privately. Edith like airs out the dirty laundry and of everyone and it's like , okay bitch, this is not well, she's jealous of the fact that Mary gets all this attention and she's kind of the ugly duckling in the family. And so at this point though, you're not you like Mary, you know, is kind of cold, you know, pale , you know, kind of a kind of a B word, you know ? And and then you see that when she's there, not only is she like I shouldn't be in the service quarters because, you know, I'm, you know, because I'm important or whatever, but also because she's like, what are we doing? This is like, you know, they are people , you know, they do have the right to privacy. Like we're just rifling through their room. And then when Mr. Bates catches them and they leave and she's like, you know, I'm so sorry . The Duke is like, why did you say sorry to that man? Like it matters and she goes, Oh yeah, that's just usually something I say when I know I'm in the wrong. That was a great line. I was like, ooh, like she's I don't know, there's there's multi all the characters are multi dimensional, which makes the show I think ten times more interesting to watch, especially considering the show is essentially just a soap opera. And so you need strong character s. It's all in one house, like just so it's like it's a huge house, but it's like you were just looking at staircases, hallways , old couches and fireplaces. Like that's kind of and I did think about, you know, Mary's all everyone in the show is great looking , but she is so beautiful and elegant and her hair has always just done perfect and she's never leaving the house. She's just walking around in the house looking perfect all the time and barely anyone gets to see it. And she's like, she's a hot ghost . She should be out on the town just going . Aren't I beautiful? Sun can't touch that. It's gonna go to some balls and shit later in the series. They'll go to some one. I got to get to that because it's like I really enjoyed looking at the process of the help waking up in the morning versus the wealthy people waking up it's like the waking up and then ring your little bell for them to give you stuff and like looking out the window, oh we're wearing beautiful nightgowns. Everyone's going down to breakfast early and talking. Mrs. Grantham is just e aten like a slob in her bed and bed. She's the American. That's how you don't give a fuck. You don't care. It's Mother's Day every eggs and rice in bed. I want one of those eaten bed trays that has the little legs. I'm gonna get one of those 'cause fuck that. Like I want a servant . I want a servant . I have a sister. I'll make her one of those eventually. I'm kidding. So we so the kind of mister Bates thing has been playing out kind of all the servants are kind of working together to kind of undermine him . Lord Grant then we find out they were in the military together. That's kind of where he got his limp and that's kind of why, you know, Lord Grantham wants to give him this job because he, you know, he feels like he owes him . But he does, Lord Grantham does end up firing him. He says, you kind of have one more night here . And then Anna, Anna is one of the servants who you can tell has a thing for Mr Bates. Mr. Better Bate Mr Bates and she brings him some food and again I'm baffled at the food. It's just white balls. What are the white balls? What was the sheet? Just a white ball, yeah. Yeah . It's a bowl of arring for you. Bowl of arranging yeah, it's pickled and boiled up at the same time . Yeah. But he is crying and it makes me so sad. His crying is so sad because you're like this guy can't find a job because he is, you know , injured and like he's gonna die on the street. He's gonna die straight up. And like, you know, he basically tells that to Lord Grantham, where he's just like , I won't find another job if you fire me. And he's like, fuck up, old boy. It's a muddy business . Have some white balls. Eat the white balls. Have some white balls. Yeah. We like them in this house because our teeth are too soft . We got soft teeth. We have to eat fish balls we do. Oh my teeth are falling out me . I've got a lovely bunch of fishy bowls . You got mushy mushy in my mouth. I am not participating in this at all. Sorry England. Sorry, we love you. We love you. It's crazy that you guys are an island wild . Hire me to work on Taskmaster. Don't listen to these . Yes . But make us all the American next year . You gotta have one now Okay , so we learn that the Duke, he's not gonna propose to marry. Part of the reason is that he and Thomas are hooking up twist . They like spent the summer together they're kind of they're kind of scheming together. They have, you know, kind of a kind of a hot makeout sess Now is it the best thing in the world that the only gay characters are sneaky little sneaks who sneak around it's some nineteen forties shit , but you know I'll tell you this right now Julian Fellows before he got his, you know , start being a TV writer making both Gosford Park and then of course Downton Abbey was a conservative MP in the UK . So he is he is conservative. This show has an incred ibly conservative worldview. It's sort of a liberal conservative like it's it's a this is the yellowstone for England . Yes, exactly. I think he's saying that would be better if we went back to Downton Abbey and there were servants. Yeah is essentially saying that and so it is there's a there's an evilness to it, but it's so wonderful to watch. I think that's true of Madmen too. Do you think it's like, wouldn't it be easier to go back to this? Like I don't know if I think Downton Abbey. Yeah, I think I think Madman is critical of it. I think he I think Madman the point of Madman seems to be that our grandparents were miserable and they didn't have to be. Yes, exactly . But you know, it's been a minute since I watched it. But I but I know what you mean, Emily. I know it is it does like it is so like fetishy about the fifties and sixties, you know? Yeah. No, but this show is essentially like, but look how happy the servants were when they knew their place, right? Oh yeah , that's true. And if you see a gay guy, look out because he 's scheming on you and trying to give your money all sorts of schemes they're going do to on mister Beds The other folk They did kick his cane out at one point there that was so fucked up awful to him but they but Mr. Bates and the Duke they're going to go out in the same coach and Lord Grantham kind of does a last like a final romcom run out to the airport and he grabs Mr. Bates. It's so funny that the huge third act of the show is someone taking someone else out of a carriage . That's like the big thing of like you thought he was gonna get in the carriage and then he didn't get in and that's the most exciting thing that happens. Incredible. It's such a great moment. It's such a great moment and that's why I love the show is that you do get invested enough in the show for on paper something boring to be really, really exciting . Yeah . And yeah, and then you kind of get the Ts for the next episode , a third cousin gets a letter. This is Danny Stevens, the guy who was in every movie for a while. Yeah, and a lot of AMC TV shows . He keeps this guy's great. Love it when this fucking guy pops up. He's the beast from the live action beauty and the Beast. Oh no . And he's great . Yeah . And then this movie The Guest. Like, I don't know if you've seen that. Yes, is very good . I don't know. Great. The guy who made King Kong his robot arm. What? There's a Godzilla X Kong new empire. He makes Godzilla. He makes King Kong . Well, he stan Steven is great than that . Of course, he's in a godzilla movie. He'll do anything, man. Yeah, he'll do whatever. Yeah, and he's like they're gonna they're going to change our life and that's kind of the where we where we leave, everyone . Yeah, we talked a little bit about it, but before we say what we thought of the show, we got to do the hunkwatch. Honkwatch Any I mean, we talked a little bit about some hunks . The titanic. Yes, the ultimate the hunk that is too hung. Yeah, I love that boy . Yeah Yeah. So I mean , yes, we talked about the sisters , babes all around. Yep. Can I guess that it's mister Bates for everybody? No . Wow, okay. It's it for me. I love him. It's goddamn Maggie Smith. You're right, you're Maggie. I want that bitch to fucking walk me around like a dog. No, I know. Dog walk me. Dog. Dog walk me, Maggie . Nothing I want more than that. Mommy, Maggie. Maggie, mommy. She is one hundred percent the goat . She is my she is my number one hunk. I think a close second in at least in this episode in particular, I can be honest with you, it's Thomas. He's a scheming he's a scheming little game man , but he is so I don't know, he's so cute . And there's just something that maybe this is all, you know , it's painted from seeing the whole show all the way through, but eventually you come to really, you know, see him as a human being and not just a monster a monster. Yeah . I mean, I'd say that Lord Grantham is also doing it doing it for me. Oh, yeah. one hundred percent. He's a tall, tall guy too. I feel like and I like that tr.ue And he's big guy. Yeah. Yes. But I love when he's like, my favorite scene of the whole show was when he and Lady Grantham are like getting in bed to like go to sleep and they s so comfy and the sheets are like satiny and they're like cuddling each other in their old timy pajamas . Yeah I was like, I just want I want to watch this scene over and over I know I wanted zy. They do and they're rich for you. Yeah , what a life. Well, yeah, let's rank it on a scale of one to ten super loud commercials. Matt, you can close it out as the picker this month , Emily, what'd you think? One to ten. It was long as shit. That was my main thing. It was pretty long. So but now I know that it was like because it was the premiere. It was just a little longer to wet the appetite. So I'm going to give it an eight right now. I'm not sure if it's got me by the balls yet , but I'm definitely going to give it a season. I'm going to give it a season. You should give it a season . Yeah. Yeah, I'm going to I'm right there with the Emily. I'm going to give it a n ine. I really, really liked it, and I remember how much I liked it when it originally aired. And yeah, it makes me think about going back. I don't watch as much TV as I say I'm going to, just 'cause I basically watch the prices ride in jeopardy. Really? Yeah, I know. That's cool. Sure . I had no idea . Yeah . No. I like that. I like that. I just kind of re watch the same shows over and over again and sometimes I'll throw in a new one , but for the most part, that's my, you know, in prices, right? I'm in the true crime documentary phase of my life. That's fine. No , it's not, it's not good like information to put in my brain when I'm trying to go to sleep. It's really not good . But the amount of chores I get done when it's on it's crazy. I'm like moving. My brain is like yeah, you know, it's good. It's stimulating. I get why people like it My journey, but what on a rewatch, this favorite show of yours, is it still one of your ATF's . Absolutely. This is a ten, this is an easy ten for me . It is just the I mean I understand that it's it's long and for sure so much more happens in the next , you know, two episodes . I would say comfortably you can give it one more episode and if you're not if you're not in by episode the end of episode two, then fine, you know, you but to me it is just one of the greatest shows ever made. I love everything about it . Despite the shitty politics of it, it is just fabulous . And you know, I love a show that starts off with the Titanic sunk. What we gonna do ? Yeah, so it's a ten.
