00:00:42   right anybody wants them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/42">TS</a>]

00:00:43   well everybody needs to get rid of their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/43">TS</a>]

00:00:44   issues and move on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/44">TS</a>]

00:00:47   that's just how it is anyway our topic [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/47">TS</a>]

00:00:50   today is bryan cave on the writer of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/50">TS</a>]

00:00:53   many different comics in very many [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/53">TS</a>]

00:00:55   different places he's also written some [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/55">TS</a>]

00:00:57   TV [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/57">TS</a>]

00:00:59   I think you wrote i think i counted five [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/59">TS</a>]

00:01:01   episodes of lost he's written [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/61">TS</a>]

00:01:02   screenplays he's done all sorts of other [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/62">TS</a>]

00:01:04   things but I think we're going to focus [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/64">TS</a>]

00:01:06   on three of his comics in particular [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/66">TS</a>]

00:01:10   Runaways what you did for Marvel which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/70">TS</a>]

00:01:12   is in many ways the last creator kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/72">TS</a>]

00:01:15   Creator created not you know for a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/75">TS</a>]

00:01:19   corporate entity comic at Marvel and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/79">TS</a>]

00:01:21   at least the only one I can think of in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/81">TS</a>]

00:01:24   a long time where a really strong piece [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/84">TS</a>]

00:01:26   of intellectual property was actually [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/86">TS</a>]

00:01:27   created out of nothing by a writer which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/87">TS</a>]

00:01:31   is interesting because usually they just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/91">TS</a>]

00:01:32   take it and build their own series of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/92">TS</a>]

00:01:34   grounded and they own all the characters [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/94">TS</a>]

00:01:35   but he created that for Marvel and then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/95">TS</a>]

00:01:37   just we can pick it up later into the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/97">TS</a>]

00:01:39   series of that the two creator-owned [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/99">TS</a>]

00:01:41   Brian cable on series that we're going [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/101">TS</a>]

00:01:43   to talk about our y the last man and ex [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/103">TS</a>]

00:01:48   machina so we've got three bryan cave on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/108">TS</a>]

00:01:51   topics to go on today and I just I was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/111">TS</a>]

00:01:56   cramming this week I i read the rest of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/116">TS</a>]

00:01:58   ex machina which I hadn't finished and i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/118">TS</a>]

00:02:00   went back and re-read y the last man so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/120">TS</a>]

00:02:03   I'm ready [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/123">TS</a>]

00:02:04   nice whose idea was it to do this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/124">TS</a>]

00:02:06   podcast by the way Lisa's life was mine [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/126">TS</a>]

00:02:08   alright Lisa maybe you can get us [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/128">TS</a>]

00:02:10   started then which what would you like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/130">TS</a>]

00:02:12   to tackle first [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/132">TS</a>]

00:02:13   that's a good question i was gonna ask [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/133">TS</a>]

00:02:16   what everyone thinks of the runaways [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/136">TS</a>]

00:02:18   because in many ways I feel like it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/138">TS</a>]

00:02:20   his Titus cleanest work and i would love [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/140">TS</a>]

00:02:23   to hear opinions on whether and I I find [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/143">TS</a>]

00:02:27   that interesting because it's a piece of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/147">TS</a>]

00:02:29   work for marble which doesn't have a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/149">TS</a>]

00:02:32   vested interest in making sure that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/152">TS</a>]

00:02:33   comic books are tight and clean but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/153">TS</a>]

00:02:35   rather has a vested interest in making [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/155">TS</a>]

00:02:36   sure they've got a narrative that can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/156">TS</a>]

00:02:38   flogged for years and years and years of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/158">TS</a>]

00:02:39   the time and get if you read the first [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/159">TS</a>]

00:02:42   step in someone different ways that he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/162">TS</a>]

00:02:44   wrote it's it's an excellent standalone [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/164">TS</a>]

00:02:45   series you can walk away from it when it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/165">TS</a>]

00:02:47   was done and never have to pick it up [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/167">TS</a>]

00:02:49   again and you have a very satisfying [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/169">TS</a>]

00:02:51   book I'm the beauty of creating new [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/171">TS</a>]

00:02:53   characters as you can start clean and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/173">TS</a>]

00:02:55   tell a relatively clean story in a way [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/175">TS</a>]

00:02:56   you can if you have to go back over [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/176">TS</a>]

00:02:58   everything with the story is just really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/178">TS</a>]

00:03:00   it hangs together beautifully [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/180">TS</a>]

00:03:02   I think we should just blow the spoiler [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/182">TS</a>]

00:03:05   alert for now so that we can continue [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/185">TS</a>]

00:03:07   this question let's talk about the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/187">TS</a>]

00:03:09   fundamental premise of it before we blow [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/189">TS</a>]

00:03:11   this boiler Hornet because it doesn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/191">TS</a>]

00:03:13   really spoil it to say that the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/193">TS</a>]

00:03:14   fundamental premise is what happens if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/194">TS</a>]

00:03:16   you discover that your parents and all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/196">TS</a>]

00:03:17   of their boring friends that they hang [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/197">TS</a>]

00:03:19   out with once a year are actually cabal [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/199">TS</a>]

00:03:21   of supervillains encompassing everything [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/201">TS</a>]

00:03:23   isn't great with the big concept is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/203">TS</a>]

00:03:25   actually was going to say that I guess I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/205">TS</a>]

00:03:27   think it's safe to say he's the best [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/207">TS</a>]

00:03:29   concept guy in the industry like I'd [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/209">TS</a>]

00:03:32   love to be in the pitch meetings because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/212">TS</a>]

00:03:33   all of his books can do that one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/213">TS</a>]

00:03:35   sentence pitch we just go that's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/215">TS</a>]

00:03:37   brilliant idea [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/217">TS</a>]

00:03:38   his pitches are basically tweets right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/218">TS</a>]

00:03:40   yeah dimensions really has a best the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/220">TS</a>]

00:03:43   best elevator pitch practice would be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/223">TS</a>]

00:03:45   sadly I do think those are the best [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/225">TS</a>]

00:03:46   parts of his book haha the he's got the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/226">TS</a>]

00:03:50   high-concept really well and then it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/230">TS</a>]

00:03:52   starts to me breaking down on the this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/232">TS</a>]

00:03:55   the character story and it i always [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/235">TS</a>]

00:03:58   enjoy the concepts more than I enjoy the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/238">TS</a>]

00:04:00   stories so with that makes sense [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/240">TS</a>]

00:04:01   ok so with Runaways the the way it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/241">TS</a>]

00:04:05   played is is a is really interesting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/245">TS</a>]

00:04:08   they the kids discover this about their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/248">TS</a>]

00:04:11   parents and that initial arc is i think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/251">TS</a>]

00:04:15   i think really amazing now it does [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/255">TS</a>]

00:04:18   continue on beyond that and that's I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/258">TS</a>]

00:04:20   think where you get into this question [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/260">TS</a>]

00:04:21   of what is the premise here is there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/261">TS</a>]

00:04:23   enough to sustain it when does it become [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/263">TS</a>]

00:04:24   just sort of an endless story of you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/264">TS</a>]

00:04:27   know these characters having adventures [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/267">TS</a>]

00:04:29   for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/269">TS</a>]

00:04:30   this is telling an arc where it the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/270">TS</a>]

00:04:32   other two books do have an arc and they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/272">TS</a>]

00:04:34   do have an ending Runaways is a marvel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/274">TS</a>]

00:04:36   comic it's open-ended and they'd sort of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/276">TS</a>]

00:04:39   solve the mystery of their parents and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/279">TS</a>]

00:04:41   then they move on like a very get the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/281">TS</a>]

00:04:44   story right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/284">TS</a>]

00:04:45   really really good in that first arc [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/285">TS</a>]

00:04:47   talking about the characters do you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/287">TS</a>]

00:04:49   remember any of their names his carolina [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/289">TS</a>]

00:04:51   who is the space alien yeah and a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/291">TS</a>]

00:04:53   lesbian she's a lesbian there is alex [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/293">TS</a>]

00:04:55   who is the brainy guy who ultimately [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/295">TS</a>]

00:04:58   sells out the team there's Molly who's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/298">TS</a>]

00:05:01   the mutant there's Gertrude who is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/301">TS</a>]

00:05:03   bonded to the Tyrannosaurus Rex and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/303">TS</a>]

00:05:05   she's basically the brains of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/305">TS</a>]

00:05:06   operation always the young one to write [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/306">TS</a>]

00:05:09   always the very young team care about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/309">TS</a>]

00:05:10   any of these people i have to admit i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/310">TS</a>]

00:05:12   have a fondness for Gertrude ID Act [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/312">TS</a>]

00:05:15   which you know so like I said just read [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/315">TS</a>]

00:05:19   that are because if you really like her [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/319">TS</a>]

00:05:20   teacher like what happens liquor [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/320">TS</a>]

00:05:22   um and what you actually kind of look a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/322">TS</a>]

00:05:26   little bit like Richard again it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/326">TS</a>]

00:05:27   probably a typical process on the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/327">TS</a>]

00:05:29   podcast with the glasses and the hair [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/329">TS</a>]

00:05:31   yeah glasses and the hair it's there to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/331">TS</a>]

00:05:33   I'm and god help me i'm trying i'm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/333">TS</a>]

00:05:35   blanking on the last to her the goth [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/335">TS</a>]

00:05:37   girl / / which Oh Nico and with the with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/337">TS</a>]

00:05:42   the with the wanderer can only cast what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/342">TS</a>]

00:05:44   the each spell one time you know which i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/344">TS</a>]

00:05:46   think is a wonderful and interesting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/346">TS</a>]

00:05:47   limitation and because it forces her to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/347">TS</a>]

00:05:50   get creative and again be brilliant [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/350">TS</a>]

00:05:52   concept that's the one that I didn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/352">TS</a>]

00:05:54   really read for this podcast and I'm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/354">TS</a>]

00:05:56   trying to remember the name of the kid [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/356">TS</a>]

00:05:57   who flies the ship and his girlfriend's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/357">TS</a>]

00:05:59   boyfriend she's not coming to me that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/359">TS</a>]

00:06:01   actually Carolina is the one that I that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/361">TS</a>]

00:06:05   I remember [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/365">TS</a>]

00:06:06   yeah and I you know i love i love the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/366">TS</a>]

00:06:09   whole premise of naturalistic hippie [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/369">TS</a>]

00:06:11   supervillain well well I i really like i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/371">TS</a>]

00:06:15   really like and and this is a maybe this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/375">TS</a>]

00:06:18   is why joss whedon was so attracted two [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/378">TS</a>]

00:06:21   Runaways too because one of the things I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/381">TS</a>]

00:06:23   liked about Buffy especially is that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/383">TS</a>]

00:06:25   whole game of taking these tropes from [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/385">TS</a>]

00:06:28   sci-fi and comics and fantasy and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/388">TS</a>]

00:06:30   wrapping regular everyday growing up but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/390">TS</a>]

00:06:34   you know adolescent heartbreak in those [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/394">TS</a>]

00:06:37   concepts and Runaways does that like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/397">TS</a>]

00:06:40   Buffy did that and carolina is a great [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/400">TS</a>]

00:06:42   example of that because she's got all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/402">TS</a>]

00:06:43   these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/403">TS</a>]

00:06:44   powers but she discovers she's not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/404">TS</a>]

00:06:45   really who she thought she was because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/405">TS</a>]

00:06:47   she's an alien and then she discovers [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/407">TS</a>]

00:06:48   she's not who she thought she was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/408">TS</a>]

00:06:50   because she's a lesbian and it's you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/410">TS</a>]

00:06:53   know I I kind of love that kind of its [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/413">TS</a>]

00:06:55   like the rent in yeah she's kind of a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/415">TS</a>]

00:06:57   willow analog in a lot of ways which but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/417">TS</a>]

00:07:00   that said I don't think it's so much [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/420">TS</a>]

00:07:01   about the characters is it is about what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/421">TS</a>]

00:07:03   a great concept is your you discover you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/423">TS</a>]

00:07:05   know these are kids superheroes have to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/425">TS</a>]

00:07:07   fight their parents they literally [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/427">TS</a>]

00:07:08   rebelling against their parents because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/428">TS</a>]

00:07:10   their parents are evil and was really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/430">TS</a>]

00:07:13   that was really sweet about the way that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/433">TS</a>]

00:07:14   they wrap that up as their parents who [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/434">TS</a>]

00:07:16   admittedly you're evil and self-serving [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/436">TS</a>]

00:07:18   are also step up to the plate as parents [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/438">TS</a>]

00:07:20   the very last minute all right they are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/440">TS</a>]

00:07:22   their parents and the parents love them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/442">TS</a>]

00:07:23   yeah it's just happened as a weevil [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/443">TS</a>]

00:07:25   which which is you could have had the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/445">TS</a>]

00:07:26   turn [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/446">TS</a>]

00:07:27   you know in a lesser story which would [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/447">TS</a>]

00:07:29   have been we didn't like you anyway use [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/449">TS</a>]

00:07:31   we're evil blah and it's no its day [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/451">TS</a>]

00:07:34   they're quite upset about this and try [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/454">TS</a>]

00:07:35   to explain you know why it is the way it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/455">TS</a>]

00:07:38   is it in a more and it is taking more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/458">TS</a>]

00:07:41   serious than something like always abyss [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/461">TS</a>]

00:07:44   is that the name of the comic words the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/464">TS</a>]

00:07:45   the kid discovers that his dad is a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/465">TS</a>]

00:07:48   supervillain it's a very similar kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/468">TS</a>]

00:07:49   thing and there's a he controls a robot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/469">TS</a>]

00:07:51   it'sit's another comic with a similar [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/471">TS</a>]

00:07:53   premise but it's played for laughs and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/473">TS</a>]

00:07:56   one of the things I like about Runaways [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/476">TS</a>]

00:07:58   is that it feels more emotionally [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/478">TS</a>]

00:08:00   genuine if there's a Runaways issue and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/480">TS</a>]

00:08:04   i can't remember if it's actually bryan [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/484">TS</a>]

00:08:05   cave on her Joss Whedon wrote later [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/485">TS</a>]

00:08:07   where you find out that Molly has been [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/487">TS</a>]

00:08:09   having a series of dreams or nightmares [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/489">TS</a>]

00:08:10   where she dreams that her parents are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/490">TS</a>]

00:08:11   still alive and everything is the way it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/491">TS</a>]

00:08:14   was before she knew what they were about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/494">TS</a>]

00:08:15   because she misses her parents and is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/495">TS</a>]

00:08:18   brian k yeah and it's a fantastic it's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/498">TS</a>]

00:08:21   fantastic issue because it reminds you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/501">TS</a>]

00:08:23   that even though these kids had to grab [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/503">TS</a>]

00:08:25   with the fact that their parents are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/505">TS</a>]

00:08:26   super villains who tried to sell the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/506">TS</a>]

00:08:27   planet to a bunch of interdimensional [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/507">TS</a>]

00:08:29   aliens look first and foremost they were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/509">TS</a>]

00:08:32   mom and dad and they love their mom and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/512">TS</a>]

00:08:34   dad we miss them very much and i'm not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/514">TS</a>]

00:08:36   going to solve them to the alien just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/516">TS</a>]

00:08:38   going to come with them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/518">TS</a>]

00:08:39   yeah right yeah and there was the whole [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/519">TS</a>]

00:08:40   well you were going to betray us see [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/520">TS</a>]

00:08:42   your kid could live in there like yes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/522">TS</a>]

00:08:44   that's what you're going to do so before [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/524">TS</a>]

00:08:46   you get on your high horse about it you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/526">TS</a>]

00:08:48   know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/528">TS</a>]

00:08:48   mote in the eye but I like this story [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/528">TS</a>]

00:08:52   because it's fast-paced it is you have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/532">TS</a>]

00:08:54   to move its boom boom and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/534">TS</a>]

00:08:56   I like that it's a peek into the marvel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/536">TS</a>]

00:08:59   vs where people tend to regard folks [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/539">TS</a>]

00:09:01   like Captain America and or the mutants [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/541">TS</a>]

00:09:03   not as you know torture protagonist and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/543">TS</a>]

00:09:05   interesting characters but is a didactic [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/545">TS</a>]

00:09:07   pains in the rear end and there was no [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/547">TS</a>]

00:09:11   costumes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/551">TS</a>]

00:09:12   yes no crimes really they tried the code [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/552">TS</a>]

00:09:15   names they realize how silly they were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/555">TS</a>]

00:09:16   and that's what i liked about it was it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/556">TS</a>]

00:09:18   subverts all of those conventions so it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/558">TS</a>]

00:09:20   sort of has all the things that I that I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/560">TS</a>]

00:09:22   liked about the new mutants yeah when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/562">TS</a>]

00:09:24   they started except without the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/564">TS</a>]

00:09:26   superhero x-men tractions they're just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/566">TS</a>]

00:09:29   Custer on their own and then that's the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/569">TS</a>]

00:09:31   whole point of what waterways premises [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/571">TS</a>]

00:09:33   really there the anti x-men there the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/573">TS</a>]

00:09:35   x-men without a professor x they're just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/575">TS</a>]

00:09:38   on their own [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/578">TS</a>]

00:09:39   that's all the guy do like that Marvel's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/579">TS</a>]

00:09:42   kept the premise where the runaways were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/582">TS</a>]

00:09:43   like you know we're not really planning [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/583">TS</a>]

00:09:44   on hanging out with anybody we're pretty [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/584">TS</a>]

00:09:46   happy with just of the bunch of us even [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/586">TS</a>]

00:09:49   when later they had the robot and in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/589">TS</a>]

00:09:51   hope that there was a couple of Runaways [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/591">TS</a>]

00:09:53   x-men chromosomal crossover yeah yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/593">TS</a>]

00:09:57   and apparently Molly beats up Wolverine [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/597">TS</a>]

00:09:59   and in one of them from what i can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/599">TS</a>]

00:10:01   remember which is very funny because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/601">TS</a>]

00:10:02   he's like a world full of depowered [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/602">TS</a>]

00:10:03   mutants that girl has to keep our but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/603">TS</a>]

00:10:06   yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/606">TS</a>]

00:10:07   womp womp right kind of harkens back to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/607">TS</a>]

00:13:34   kind of kind of stuff like that yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/814">TS</a>]

00:13:36   that's the beauty of it is is that it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/816">TS</a>]

00:13:38   an apocalypse story with this with this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/818">TS</a>]

00:13:46   what happens then and although [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/826">TS</a>]

00:13:49   interesting that it's written by a man I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/829">TS</a>]

00:13:50   always found that little bit strange [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/830">TS</a>]

00:13:52   that all the characters women except for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/832">TS</a>]

00:13:56   greatest name for a month whatever yes I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/836">TS</a>]

00:14:00   always thought that was a little strange [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/840">TS</a>]

00:14:01   that they this world of women is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/841">TS</a>]

00:14:03   conceived of by a man by male writers [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/843">TS</a>]

00:14:05   always thought that was a little odd [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/845">TS</a>]

00:14:06   just me now but I was going to say about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/846">TS</a>]

00:14:09   it is one of the things I've actually [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/849">TS</a>]

00:14:13   grappled with our reading that book is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/853">TS</a>]

00:14:15   you have a plethora of strong well [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/855">TS</a>]

00:14:17   written characters and I thought to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/857">TS</a>]

00:14:18   myself [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/858">TS</a>]

00:14:19   absolutely none of these people these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/859">TS</a>]

00:14:20   women would ever be included or make it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/860">TS</a>]

00:14:23   in a book that was supposed to be mixed [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/863">TS</a>]

00:14:24   gender and the only way that you have so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/864">TS</a>]

00:14:26   many strong female characters is by [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/866">TS</a>]

00:14:28   absolutely eliminating every other man [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/868">TS</a>]

00:14:30   on the planet or in or in this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/870">TS</a>]

00:14:31   traditional fictitious universe and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/871">TS</a>]

00:14:34   think it says something about the state [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/874">TS</a>]

00:14:37   of comics in general that in order for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/877">TS</a>]

00:14:39   readers to accept a universe full of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/879">TS</a>]

00:14:42   flawed well-rounded strong resourceful [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/882">TS</a>]

00:14:46   evil plot in calculating in other words [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/886">TS</a>]

00:14:50   fully dimensional female characters the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/890">TS</a>]

00:14:52   only way that people could apparently [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/892">TS</a>]

00:14:53   swallow that was by okay of course these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/893">TS</a>]

00:14:55   people stepped into the room now there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/895">TS</a>]

00:14:57   are no man on the planet [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/897">TS</a>]

00:14:58   um it's it's kind of sad away there's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/898">TS</a>]

00:15:01   funny moment where they where they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/901">TS</a>]

00:15:03   mentioned actually in the last issue [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/903">TS</a>]

00:15:05   that I mean that Iran has the has the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/905">TS</a>]

00:15:08   bomb [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/908">TS</a>]

00:15:08   they've built a nuclear bomb and it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/908">TS</a>]

00:15:11   aii that really struck me because it is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/911">TS</a>]

00:15:14   he's saying you know we could take all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/914">TS</a>]

00:15:17   the men out of the equation but people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/917">TS</a>]

00:15:19   are people even integers but it is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/919">TS</a>]

00:15:20   alright then very slowly i'll get back [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/920">TS</a>]

00:15:22   to human nature as the story goes on and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/922">TS</a>]

00:15:25   the natives start getting back to the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/925">TS</a>]

00:15:26   nation's and the tribes and yeah yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/926">TS</a>]

00:15:29   well what's interesting is how much of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/929">TS</a>]

00:15:31   the first third of the book you have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/931">TS</a>]

00:15:34   some people who take a look at this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/934">TS</a>]

00:15:35   planetary event is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/935">TS</a>]

00:15:36   it's radically change society I mean [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/936">TS</a>]

00:15:38   that's the whole point to the daughters [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/938">TS</a>]

00:15:39   of the Amazon and then you have some [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/939">TS</a>]

00:15:42   people who are doing everything they can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/942">TS</a>]

00:15:44   to try to maintain this this society [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/944">TS</a>]

00:15:47   that were like the ones at the sons of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/947">TS</a>]

00:15:49   America or the sons of Arizona Arizona [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/949">TS</a>]

00:15:51   yeah yeah where you know ocean and the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/951">TS</a>]

00:15:53   government right the US government is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/953">TS</a>]

00:15:55   trying to do that to the Secretary of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/955">TS</a>]

00:15:56   Agriculture isn't have a branded United [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/956">TS</a>]

00:15:58   States and its pretty I think it's true [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/958">TS</a>]

00:16:02   to life in a way that you know if you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/962">TS</a>]

00:16:04   put if you were to lose an entire gender [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/964">TS</a>]

00:16:05   you're not gonna say who now is the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/965">TS</a>]

00:16:07   exciting opportunity for us to rethink [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/967">TS</a>]

00:16:09   gender constructed and move on you first [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/969">TS</a>]

00:16:12   met orders is survival and to do that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/972">TS</a>]

00:16:16   you may want to stick with the societal [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/976">TS</a>]

00:16:19   patterns and philosophies that you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/979">TS</a>]

00:16:21   work for you already [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/981">TS</a>]

00:16:22   but you know it does over time [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/982">TS</a>]

00:16:27   gender become so much less relevant I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/987">TS</a>]

00:16:29   think that that's what makes the last [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/989">TS</a>]

00:16:31   issue so powerful is so much is made of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/991">TS</a>]

00:16:35   york being the only man four so much and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/995">TS</a>]

00:16:37   then by the last issue you just see how [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/997">TS</a>]

00:16:38   completely irrelevant he's become [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/998">TS</a>]

00:16:40   because there is no longer a man kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1000">TS</a>]

00:16:42   womankind there's just humankind there's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1002">TS</a>]

00:16:44   a default doesn't include man and and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1004">TS</a>]

00:16:46   wish you know gender is a role as more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1006">TS</a>]

00:16:50   or less obsolete or gender is a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1010">TS</a>]

00:16:51   construct I mean that the cloned matter [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1011">TS</a>]

00:16:53   seen more as oddities and they are as a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1013">TS</a>]

00:16:54   as a standard standard human beings i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1014">TS</a>]

00:16:59   think because while you're reading it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1019">TS</a>]

00:17:00   you're really thinking that there they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1020">TS</a>]

00:17:02   gotta preserve humanity why bye little [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1022">TS</a>]

00:17:06   man and and and let's get a breeding [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1026">TS</a>]

00:17:08   stock together and eventually will get [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1028">TS</a>]

00:17:09   back to normal menu flash forward to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1029">TS</a>]

00:17:10   when your kids 18 you see that most [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1030">TS</a>]

00:17:12   unlike actually pretty comfortable [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1032">TS</a>]

00:17:13   clothing we're happy with it in fact [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1033">TS</a>]

00:17:15   effective particle and it's hard to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1035">TS</a>]

00:17:17   climb n so we don't do it very often but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1037">TS</a>]

00:17:19   when clone women really easily grasped [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1039">TS</a>]

00:17:21   yeah before it got to the point there's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1041">TS</a>]

00:17:23   a really nice sort of scene in the book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1043">TS</a>]

00:17:25   where they were talking about the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1045">TS</a>]

00:17:26   animals that have gone extinct have a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1046">TS</a>]

00:17:28   sense that that the the rodents that one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1048">TS</a>]

00:17:30   because of the 18-month gestational [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1050">TS</a>]

00:17:32   cycle right a fly's went extinct within [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1052">TS</a>]

00:17:34   a half an hour after it and then yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1054">TS</a>]

00:17:37   but that's right they they say they're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1057">TS</a>]

00:17:38   no rats because the rats would have gone [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1058">TS</a>]

00:17:39   extinct except in there are rats because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1059">TS</a>]

00:17:41   nature finds away and the rats in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1061">TS</a>]

00:17:43   trashcan the sharks could do that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1063">TS</a>]

00:17:45   matches [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1065">TS</a>]

00:17:46   yes so I why not anyone else a lot of a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1066">TS</a>]

00:17:49   lot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1069">TS</a>]

00:17:49   fish and a lot of reptiles do it now [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1069">TS</a>]

00:17:50   what i thought was interesting was the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1070">TS</a>]

00:17:52   last one remember you find out that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1072">TS</a>]

00:17:53   there's they're working to support the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1073">TS</a>]

00:17:55   poachers against the lions and I thought [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1075">TS</a>]

00:17:56   that was nice to rupted to point out [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1076">TS</a>]

00:17:59   that you were still going to have these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1079">TS</a>]

00:18:00   terrible phenomenon where people are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1080">TS</a>]

00:18:02   hunting and killing their animals [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1082">TS</a>]

00:18:03   because they can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1083">TS</a>]

00:18:05   there was some editing job of showing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1085">TS</a>]

00:18:07   how women weren't all sugar and spice [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1087">TS</a>]

00:18:10   and everything nice and the in the book [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1090">TS</a>]

00:18:13   and they also showed how people are kind [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1093">TS</a>]

00:18:15   of blinker by cultural assumptions [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1095">TS</a>]

00:18:16   because to go back to it again like the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1096">TS</a>]

00:18:17   women in the Dreamtime and they point [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1097">TS</a>]

00:18:19   out that women on the African savannah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1099">TS</a>]

00:18:20   we're hardly affected because their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1100">TS</a>]

00:18:23   lives had been so sharply segregated [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1103">TS</a>]

00:18:24   anyway that you know if a man dies so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1104">TS</a>]

00:18:27   what we're still hunters gatherers we've [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1107">TS</a>]

00:18:29   always been we always will be friends in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1109">TS</a>]

00:18:33   DC everything falls apart and they point [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1113">TS</a>]

00:18:36   out that you know that there are so many [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1116">TS</a>]

00:18:38   professions that were so predominantly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1118">TS</a>]

00:18:39   male in order to return to level of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1119">TS</a>]

00:18:41   technological competence you'd have to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1121">TS</a>]

00:18:42   search far and wide and how do you build [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1122">TS</a>]

00:18:44   up that knowledge base again and what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1124">TS</a>]

00:18:47   nations have advantages for example [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1127">TS</a>]

00:18:48   australia has a huge advantage because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1128">TS</a>]

00:18:50   it had women who could operate [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1130">TS</a>]

00:18:51   submarines and that's something the u.s. [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1131">TS</a>]

00:18:53   didn't have I mean in real life women [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1133">TS</a>]

00:18:56   are only now beginning to get training [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1136">TS</a>]

00:18:57   in the u.s. Navy for submarines see this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1137">TS</a>]

00:19:00   one of those things that that not to get [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1140">TS</a>]

00:19:01   all you know postmodern here but I was a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1141">TS</a>]

00:19:04   comm major so it is why the last man [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1144">TS</a>]

00:19:08   feminist is it anti-feminist is it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1148">TS</a>]

00:19:13   something in between because I can go [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1153">TS</a>]

00:19:15   both ways right on one level what you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1155">TS</a>]

00:19:17   said about how you know one of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1157">TS</a>]

00:19:19   stories is look women can be just as bad [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1159">TS</a>]

00:19:21   as men right i mean that is one of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1161">TS</a>]

00:19:23   things that happens in this which to me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1163">TS</a>]

00:19:25   is not necessarily a positive message [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1165">TS</a>]

00:19:28   it's sort of saying look if we take many [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1168">TS</a>]

00:19:30   of the equation you'll see the women are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1170">TS</a>]

00:19:32   just as capable of all the terrible [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1172">TS</a>]

00:19:33   things that men are but at the same time [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1173">TS</a>]

00:19:35   it also makes lots of comments about how [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1175">TS</a>]

00:19:37   women are given opportunities in our [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1177">TS</a>]

00:19:41   world that they that they finally get [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1181">TS</a>]

00:19:43   only after this ridiculous catastrophe [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1183">TS</a>]

00:19:45   happens and then there's you know in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1185">TS</a>]

00:19:48   between that this a lot of time spent on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1188">TS</a>]

00:19:51   on gender not mattering so you know i'm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1191">TS</a>]

00:19:55   not quite sure what I think it's it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1195">TS</a>]

00:19:56   there's a lot here obviously and it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1196">TS</a>]

00:19:58   probably a little bit of all those [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1198">TS</a>]

00:19:59   things but but I I'm kind of ambivalent [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1199">TS</a>]

00:20:02   about I can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1202">TS</a>]

00:20:03   say this is a you know it's a feminist [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1203">TS</a>]

00:20:06   work that is about why women you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1206">TS</a>]

00:20:09   have all these things that are never [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1209">TS</a>]

00:20:11   allowed to do except maybe on the metal [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1211">TS</a>]

00:20:13   level of commentary that usually you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1213">TS</a>]

00:20:14   don't see it took a couple semesters of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1214">TS</a>]

00:20:17   feminist theory in college and grad [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1217">TS</a>]

00:20:19   school and I'm sorry you know i mean i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1219">TS</a>]

00:20:21   was a comm major so ya know what i was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1221">TS</a>]

00:20:24   going to say is is you I that's kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1224">TS</a>]

00:20:26   a loaded question as just because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1226">TS</a>]

00:20:27   there's so many different definitions of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1227">TS</a>]

00:20:28   feminism is true what you can do is you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1228">TS</a>]

00:20:30   can argue that y the last man maybe [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1230">TS</a>]

00:20:32   feminist from a classical feminist [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1232">TS</a>]

00:20:34   perspective where the gold classical [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1234">TS</a>]

00:20:36   feminism is to make sure that there's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1236">TS</a>]

00:20:37   equal access and opportunity for all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1237">TS</a>]

00:20:39   genders but you can also argue that y [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1239">TS</a>]

00:20:41   the last man is not feminist if you look [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1241">TS</a>]

00:20:44   at feminism as being defined by gender [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1244">TS</a>]

00:20:46   essentialism or if you look at feminism [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1246">TS</a>]

00:20:48   is being defined by again like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1248">TS</a>]

00:20:51   postmodernist feminists who would say [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1251">TS</a>]

00:20:53   that it's all just a societal construct [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1253">TS</a>]

00:20:55   and and on and on it goes so I don't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1255">TS</a>]

00:20:59   think you can say definitively it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1259">TS</a>]

00:21:00   feminists are not feminist I think what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1260">TS</a>]

00:21:01   you can say is it's just a look at what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1261">TS</a>]

00:21:05   happens when you take an entire gender [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1265">TS</a>]

00:21:08   and it's societal constructions out of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1268">TS</a>]

00:21:09   the picture what happens to people rush [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1269">TS</a>]

00:21:11   to fill that void with something that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1271">TS</a>]

00:21:13   feels familiar do they try to rewrite [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1273">TS</a>]

00:21:16   the definitions of gender or does gender [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1276">TS</a>]

00:21:18   become completely irrelevant of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1278">TS</a>]

00:21:20   rushing to fill the void it was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1280">TS</a>]

00:21:21   interesting they focus on this a couple [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1281">TS</a>]

00:21:23   times in the book the women who dress up [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1283">TS</a>]

00:21:25   as men and act as prostitutes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1285">TS</a>]

00:21:27   oh yeah you're probably talking about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1287">TS</a>]

00:21:29   the transsexuals you know that the the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1289">TS</a>]

00:21:31   female-to-male transsexuals were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1291">TS</a>]

00:21:33   tremendously popular that they mentioned [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1293">TS</a>]

00:21:35   that a couple times in the series 2 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1295">TS</a>]

00:21:36   because these were women who were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1296">TS</a>]

00:21:38   essentially going to put men to feel the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1298">TS</a>]

00:21:40   a filling the rolls [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1300">TS</a>]

00:21:41   yeah everybody comes down to if if you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1301">TS</a>]

00:21:44   lose half of your planet maybe you're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1304">TS</a>]

00:21:46   like oh my god when we do now and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1306">TS</a>]

00:21:48   instead of thinking all blank slate with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1308">TS</a>]

00:21:50   recast society or like let's try to fill [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1310">TS</a>]

00:21:53   in the blanks because this is how we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1313">TS</a>]

00:21:55   know how to function [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1315">TS</a>]

00:21:56   you know it's like putting a spare tire [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1316">TS</a>]

00:21:58   on a car rather than saying let's find [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1318">TS</a>]

00:22:00   an exciting new automotive paradigm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1320">TS</a>]

00:22:02   where we have a cloud of air we float on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1322">TS</a>]

00:22:04   now [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1324">TS</a>]

00:22:05   yeah I I i can't help thinking though [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1325">TS</a>]

00:22:07   that it comes back to the fact that this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1327">TS</a>]

00:22:11   is a he knows he knows that there are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1331">TS</a>]

00:22:14   all sorts of different things going on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1334">TS</a>]

00:22:16   here [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1336">TS</a>]

00:22:16   and he tries to address that he's got [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1336">TS</a>]

00:22:17   the supermodel who is collecting dead [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1337">TS</a>]

00:22:20   bodies which is kind of an interesting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1340">TS</a>]

00:22:21   commentary he's he's extremely aware of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1341">TS</a>]

00:22:24   all the gender issues that are going on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1344">TS</a>]

00:22:26   in what he's writing that this isn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1346">TS</a>]

00:22:28   just a story about the protagonist is a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1348">TS</a>]

00:22:30   man 2 let's just say that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1350">TS</a>]

00:22:31   yorick is the protagonist so it's a man [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1351">TS</a>]

00:22:33   riding the man is the main character [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1353">TS</a>]

00:22:35   even in a world where all the other men [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1355">TS</a>]

00:22:37   are dead they still managed to have one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1357">TS</a>]

00:22:39   guy who is the protagonist let him into [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1359">TS</a>]

00:22:41   the day with damsel-in-distress he's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1361">TS</a>]

00:22:43   totally in your desktop like oh yeah the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1363">TS</a>]

00:22:45   only characters not the only got like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1365">TS</a>]

00:22:46   five is like a slacker loser there was a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1366">TS</a>]

00:22:49   real magician brainstorming nothing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1369">TS</a>]

00:22:51   redeemable about him as a character [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1371">TS</a>]

00:22:53   yeah he doesn't even have any [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1373">TS</a>]

00:22:54   outstanding personal qualities no he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1374">TS</a>]

00:22:56   wasn't that interesting so again you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1376">TS</a>]

00:22:58   know it's it's there's his perspective [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1378">TS</a>]

00:23:01   and yet he's the last and he's he's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1381">TS</a>]

00:23:03   messed up he's not he's kind of a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1383">TS</a>]

00:23:05   slacker right um so all all that's going [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1385">TS</a>]

00:23:08   on and yet you know again my my my comm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1388">TS</a>]

00:23:11   major speaking here is at the same time [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1391">TS</a>]

00:23:14   the male rider to male-dominated comic [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1394">TS</a>]

00:23:16   industry more more i think even now we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1396">TS</a>]

00:23:19   could say more comics readers are men [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1399">TS</a>]

00:23:21   then women right although it's I think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1401">TS</a>]

00:23:25   that composition is changing and that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1405">TS</a>]

00:23:27   you can't you can't just assume [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1407">TS</a>]

00:23:29   commentators are men like you could in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1409">TS</a>]

00:23:31   the past me it was not true then it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1411">TS</a>]

00:23:33   really not true now and I've been seen [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1413">TS</a>]

00:23:35   at comic-con and other places totally [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1415">TS</a>]

00:23:37   not true but i have to say that and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1417">TS</a>]

00:23:39   also have to say male rider and all this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1419">TS</a>]

00:23:41   the while it's logical that you would [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1421">TS</a>]

00:23:46   have lots of lesbianism in a post mail [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1426">TS</a>]

00:23:50   world because people are still sexual [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1430">TS</a>]

00:23:51   creatures and they you know and there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1431">TS</a>]

00:23:53   are no man anymore and so it doesn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1433">TS</a>]

00:23:54   matter what your preferences you got no [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1434">TS</a>]

00:23:56   choice here [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1436">TS</a>]

00:23:57   there were times when I thought that the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1437">TS</a>]

00:24:01   you know it's hard for me to watch [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1441">TS</a>]

00:24:04   scenes of lesbian lesbianism in popular [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1444">TS</a>]

00:24:07   culture especially written by a man and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1447">TS</a>]

00:24:09   not think of who the audience's dear [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1449">TS</a>]

00:24:11   penthouse you never thought it would [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1451">TS</a>]

00:24:13   happen that one day one day i'm inclined [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1453">TS</a>]

00:24:16   and then and then and right down to the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1456">TS</a>]

00:24:20   last issue the last issue [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1460">TS</a>]

00:24:21   yeah we're in flesh squishing you have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1461">TS</a>]

00:24:23   here on Beth get together and exactly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1463">TS</a>]

00:24:26   they don't skimp on the details which is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1466">TS</a>]

00:24:28   probably not unrealistic [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1468">TS</a>]

00:24:30   again but at the same time I don't know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1470">TS</a>]

00:24:31   I'm kind of conflicted because it's also [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1471">TS</a>]

00:24:33   a guy riding probably for more men than [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1473">TS</a>]

00:24:36   women scenes with lesbians kissing and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1476">TS</a>]

00:24:39   having sex and it's like yes I think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1479">TS</a>]

00:24:42   extrapolation wise it's right in that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1482">TS</a>]

00:24:43   same time on like how much of this is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1483">TS</a>]

00:24:45   serious [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1485">TS</a>]

00:24:47   I'm telling a story and this is what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1487">TS</a>]

00:24:48   would happen how much of it is sort of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1488">TS</a>]

00:24:50   titillation right and i think it did it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1490">TS</a>]

00:24:52   varied because they were sometimes what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1492">TS</a>]

00:24:53   happened that it did move the story [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1493">TS</a>]

00:24:55   along and it was there is like here for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1495">TS</a>]

00:24:58   development and other times it did feel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1498">TS</a>]

00:25:12   go with this so early in the series but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1512">TS</a>]

00:25:14   yea to return I think the whole what i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1514">TS</a>]

00:25:16   thought was interesting about brian [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1516">TS</a>]

00:25:17   bondus he basically wrote a whole series [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1517">TS</a>]

00:25:19   where I feel like your kids kind of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1519">TS</a>]

00:25:22   shaggy dog in the story because use the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1522">TS</a>]

00:25:24   MacGuffin well because you're lucky [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1524">TS</a>]

00:25:27   about how much energy agent 355 and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1527">TS</a>]

00:25:30   allison man and everybody else two votes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1530">TS</a>]

00:25:32   to keeping him alive for the propagation [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1532">TS</a>]

00:25:33   of the species only at the end to figure [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1533">TS</a>]

00:25:36   out that their aims and their goals were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1536">TS</a>]

00:25:38   completely obsolete and so is York and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1538">TS</a>]

00:25:41   that's what unfolds over the whole [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1541">TS</a>]

00:25:42   series is the idea that focusing on the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1542">TS</a>]

00:25:44   last managed to completely misplaced [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1544">TS</a>]

00:25:45   focus because obviously he's just a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1545">TS</a>]

00:25:48   leftover he's not necessary to the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1548">TS</a>]

00:25:50   propagation of the species not even [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1550">TS</a>]

00:25:51   necessary to to the women his live-in in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1551">TS</a>]

00:25:54   his life and um in cerritos one of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1554">TS</a>]

00:25:57   things that the the it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1557">TS</a>]

00:25:59   the ending was a little unsatisfying for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1559">TS</a>]

00:26:02   me because so much was invested in him [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1562">TS</a>]

00:26:05   in the journey the adventure the finding [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1565">TS</a>]

00:26:08   the solution that kind of bit and it is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1568">TS</a>]

00:26:10   the end he doesn't matter because you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1570">TS</a>]

00:26:12   don't like that doesn't matter you feel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1572">TS</a>]

00:26:14   like but I get the journey was the point [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1574">TS</a>]

00:26:17   or maybe it was maybe just maybe shift [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1577">TS</a>]

00:26:19   in the society or maybe it does matter [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1579">TS</a>]

00:26:21   I mean right because because it's not as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1581">TS</a>]

00:26:22   if at the end it's just him and a bunch [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1582">TS</a>]

00:26:24   of women at the end he is boiler horn [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1584">TS</a>]

00:26:30   at the end there is a clone of him and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1590">TS</a>]

00:26:35   there are 13 other clones of 79 or 17 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1595">TS</a>]

00:26:38   and he had a baby right yeah well he had [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1598">TS</a>]

00:26:40   a baby with Beth which was Beth to right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1600">TS</a>]

00:26:42   there are three characters in better [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1602">TS</a>]

00:26:44   than this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1604">TS</a>]

00:26:49   don't like original bet there's the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1609">TS</a>]

00:26:50   Russian that is the mean and there's the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1610">TS</a>]

00:26:51   Russian baby who is a boy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1611">TS</a>]

00:26:57   I've seen in any comic where they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1617">TS</a>]

00:26:59   discovered that the astronauts up but at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1619">TS</a>]

00:27:01   the Russian space station are still [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1621">TS</a>]

00:27:02   alive because they weren't on earth yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1622">TS</a>]

00:27:04   that was that was a pretty great missing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1624">TS</a>]

00:27:06   her a man and a woman and then die if i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1626">TS</a>]

00:27:09   were those men i would be like I'm never [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1629">TS</a>]

00:27:10   leaving this notation up while they were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1630">TS</a>]

00:27:12   there because they run out of oxygen [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1632">TS</a>]

00:27:13   have to come back say I was gonna 212 so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1633">TS</a>]

00:27:17   it's like a year into the serious [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1637">TS</a>]

00:27:18   suddenly there's two more men in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1638">TS</a>]

00:27:20   cosmos right well Brian Vaughn great at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1640">TS</a>]

00:27:22   the at the long reveal because he did [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1642">TS</a>]

00:27:24   that in X market which we'll get to in a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1644">TS</a>]

00:27:26   second I wanted to I wanted to say [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1646">TS</a>]

00:27:28   anyway my point about the last issue is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1648">TS</a>]

00:27:31   that because there the clones there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1651">TS</a>]

00:27:33   there is this question like well maybe [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1653">TS</a>]

00:27:34   now there is a role for men in this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1654">TS</a>]

00:27:37   world because there are these clone [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1657">TS</a>]

00:27:39   York's going around but it's not it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1659">TS</a>]

00:27:41   not the we have to save society by [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1661">TS</a>]

00:27:45   having men which is the original premise [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1665">TS</a>]

00:27:47   is you you are meant to read it as this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1667">TS</a>]

00:27:50   standard he's the last man we got to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1670">TS</a>]

00:27:52   keep him alive because it's the only [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1672">TS</a>]

00:27:54   hope for the human race and i love how [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1674">TS</a>]

00:27:55   he pulls that away and says now it's not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1675">TS</a>]

00:27:58   all the whole premise you thought was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1678">TS</a>]

00:27:59   true it's not true and then again at the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1679">TS</a>]

00:28:01   end he goes but doesn't mean that it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1681">TS</a>]

00:28:04   didn't matter [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1684">TS</a>]

00:28:04   maybe in the long run he has a place [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1684">TS</a>]

00:28:07   it's just not he's not the solution to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1687">TS</a>]

00:28:09   the the Savior he's not the savior of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1689">TS</a>]

00:28:11   the human race York Brown is not going [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1691">TS</a>]

00:28:14   to sadies Irish floats are as useless as [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1694">TS</a>]

00:28:27   male-dominated medium for a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1707">TS</a>]

00:28:28   male-dominated audience and so instead [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1708">TS</a>]

00:28:30   of writing a term paper on that one but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1710">TS</a>]

00:28:31   what I'm saying is by the last episode [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1711">TS</a>]

00:28:33   but he's basically saying our men in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1713">TS</a>]

00:28:35   this world have become what women in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1715">TS</a>]

00:28:45   amusing but you're not going to put them [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1725">TS</a>]

00:28:47   front and center as protagonist they're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1727">TS</a>]

00:28:50   not going to be useful I don't let me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1730">TS</a>]

00:29:06   yes interesting though the to the your [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1746">TS</a>]

00:29:11   character kind of a slacker useless guy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1751">TS</a>]

00:29:28   is brian capons most noted work i want [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1768">TS</a>]

00:29:31   to talk about why i want to talk about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1771">TS</a>]

00:29:33   why the plague happened because i think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1773">TS</a>]

00:29:36   we talked about the ending a little bit [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1776">TS</a>]

00:29:37   and i like that there was an ending but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1777">TS</a>]

00:29:40   but the people often look for answers to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1780">TS</a>]

00:29:43   questions posed in works of fiction [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1783">TS</a>]

00:29:45   I've discovered this and and sometimes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1785">TS</a>]

00:29:47   the answers aren't as important as the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1787">TS</a>]

00:29:51   journey that the story takes the process [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1791">TS</a>]

00:29:54   of discovery yeah and so in and i'm [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1794">TS</a>]

00:29:56   actually going to quote this from in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1796">TS</a>]

00:29:58   issue 57 y the last man there's a scene [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1798">TS</a>]

00:30:00   after York and death finally get [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1800">TS</a>]

00:30:02   together for a brief moment before it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1802">TS</a>]

00:30:05   all falls apart that is so romantically [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1805">TS</a>]

00:30:07   phrase compared to what actually happens [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1807">TS</a>]

00:30:09   perfect yeah yeah they're basically see [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1809">TS</a>]

00:30:10   each other they have sex and then the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1810">TS</a>]

00:30:11   break up yeah and and admit that that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1811">TS</a>]

00:30:14   there were other people in between so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1814">TS</a>]

00:30:16   but there's this great moment when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1816">TS</a>]

00:30:18   because the the in the central mystery [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1818">TS</a>]

00:30:21   to this series is why did this happen [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1821">TS</a>]

00:30:23   right and it's it's so not about that i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1823">TS</a>]

00:30:26   mean it's the driver but it's not what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1826">TS</a>]

00:30:28   the series is about the series is about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1828">TS</a>]

00:30:29   this world and what would happen and the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1829">TS</a>]

00:30:32   journey that they take and I think this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1832">TS</a>]

00:30:35   is is really great that he addresses it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1835">TS</a>]

00:30:36   directly in issue 57 worry York says [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1836">TS</a>]

00:30:39   turns out the crap that saved me is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1839">TS</a>]

00:30:43   connected to what cost to gendercide [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1843">TS</a>]

00:30:44   monkeys and clones and some kind of more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1844">TS</a>]

00:30:47   thing as far as answers go it was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1847">TS</a>]

00:30:49   vaguely unsatisfying and Beth says after [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1849">TS</a>]

00:30:52   everything we've been through [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1852">TS</a>]

00:30:54   is there any explanation that would have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1854">TS</a>]

00:30:55   been satisfactory [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1855">TS</a>]

00:30:57   and for a guy who also was on the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1857">TS</a>]

00:30:59   writing staff of lost i think that's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1859">TS</a>]

00:31:00   really interesting is it's the same [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1860">TS</a>]

00:31:02   philosophy and saying look I know you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1862">TS</a>]

00:31:04   want to answer questions but you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1864">TS</a>]

00:31:07   that's not the point and and bryan cave [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1867">TS</a>]

00:31:09   on is on the record as saying the answer [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1869">TS</a>]

00:31:11   to what caused the gendercide in why is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1871">TS</a>]

00:31:14   in it somewhere but i want readers to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1874">TS</a>]

00:31:17   find out which one may they find most [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1877">TS</a>]

00:31:18   acceptable right there lots of theories [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1878">TS</a>]

00:31:20   in the books one of them is right he's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1880">TS</a>]

00:31:21   not going to say which one in which you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1881">TS</a>]

00:31:23   know what i think is genius [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1883">TS</a>]

00:31:24   I kind of don't care right I think I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1884">TS</a>]

00:31:26   kind of love that we don't know we have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1886">TS</a>]

00:31:28   a lot of ideas because you know life is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1888">TS</a>]

00:31:29   kinda like that it is messy and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1889">TS</a>]

00:31:31   sometimes you just don't know what [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1891">TS</a>]

00:31:32   really the answer if you had a definite [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1892">TS</a>]

00:31:34   answer by saying oh well you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1894">TS</a>]

00:31:36   clearly it was caused by the elder dr. [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1896">TS</a>]

00:31:39   man or clearly was caused by XYZ you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1899">TS</a>]

00:31:41   have a billion internet fans jumping on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1901">TS</a>]

00:31:43   board and I can't be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1903">TS</a>]

00:31:44   that's wrong and here's the science and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1904">TS</a>]

00:31:45   here's the breakdown here's why and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1905">TS</a>]

00:31:47   instead you have all these fans who are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1907">TS</a>]

00:31:49   debating with the possible causes and it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1909">TS</a>]

00:31:51   still allows them to retain their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1911">TS</a>]

00:31:54   delight in the story as opposed to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1914">TS</a>]

00:31:55   saying well this could have been a great [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1915">TS</a>]

00:31:57   series accept the premise for why people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1917">TS</a>]

00:31:58   died off is totally flawed and once you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1918">TS</a>]

00:32:00   move past that I guess it's ok you can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1920">TS</a>]

00:32:02   believe what you want to believe because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1922">TS</a>]

00:32:03   I sort of like that the the why it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1923">TS</a>]

00:32:07   happened kind of became a non-issue [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1927">TS</a>]

00:32:10   because obviously when a crisis happens [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1930">TS</a>]

00:32:12   why is an interesting academic kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1932">TS</a>]

00:32:15   discussion to have the affiliate doesn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1935">TS</a>]

00:32:17   matter i suppose that the the question [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1937">TS</a>]

00:32:20   embedded in the title of the story right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1940">TS</a>]

00:32:22   y the last man right yeah and the answer [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1942">TS</a>]

00:32:25   is why not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1945">TS</a>]

00:32:26   yeah exactly what did you think of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1946">TS</a>]

00:32:28   ending I before we move on I want to I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1948">TS</a>]

00:32:31   want to go back to that because my [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1951">TS</a>]

00:32:33   impression is that it was kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1953">TS</a>]

00:32:34   controversial the last issue is set 60 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1954">TS</a>]

00:32:36   years in the future [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1956">TS</a>]

00:32:37   although there are some flashbacks to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1957">TS</a>]

00:32:39   the intervening time and I'm you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1959">TS</a>]

00:32:42   people endings are hard and and people [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1962">TS</a>]

00:32:45   don't we do we talked about that before [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1965">TS</a>]

00:32:46   and people often find them unsatisfying [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1966">TS</a>]

00:32:49   although honestly you know usually I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1969">TS</a>]

00:32:52   rarely remember the ending of books i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1972">TS</a>]

00:32:53   remember all the great things that i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1973">TS</a>]

00:32:54   liked about the books and I don't get [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1974">TS</a>]

00:32:56   all angry about the ending but I think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1976">TS</a>]

00:32:58   with cereal stuff like TV shows and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1978">TS</a>]

00:32:59   comics you invest all that time and then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1979">TS</a>]

00:33:01   you're like oh I wanted to be a good [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1981">TS</a>]

00:33:03   ending [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1983">TS</a>]

00:33:03   it's not like the ending is what at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1983">TS</a>]

00:33:05   least from my perspective makes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1985">TS</a>]

00:33:08   the story like all the great stories [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1988">TS</a>]

00:33:10   it's because they have a great ending [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1990">TS</a>]

00:33:12   alright it ties together when you think [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1992">TS</a>]

00:33:14   about yeah why you like something the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1994">TS</a>]

00:33:16   end of such a key part if not the reason [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1996">TS</a>]

00:33:19   and for this it really felt like the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/1999">TS</a>]

00:33:23   ideas petered out and maybe it was sort [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2003">TS</a>]

00:33:25   of like as time marches on these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2005">TS</a>]

00:33:27   questions became less important in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2007">TS</a>]

00:33:28   society we did itself and i was moving [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2008">TS</a>]

00:33:30   into a new golden age blah blah whatever [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2010">TS</a>]

00:33:32   it to me kind of sell it felt like it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2012">TS</a>]

00:33:36   was petering out and it especially when [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2016">TS</a>]

00:33:39   they spoil alert you know killed agent [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2019">TS</a>]

00:33:42   three months ago and it seems so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2022">TS</a>]

00:33:44   arbitrary and almost randomly right why [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2024">TS</a>]

00:33:48   so there's two things happening here [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2028">TS</a>]

00:33:49   there's the penultimate storyline and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2029">TS</a>]

00:33:52   then there's the final issue so the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2032">TS</a>]

00:33:53   penalty Australian i agree with you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2033">TS</a>]

00:33:55   they wrapped it up way too fast and it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2035">TS</a>]

00:33:56   was just this like do [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2036">TS</a>]

00:33:57   yeah we talked about this with planetary [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2037">TS</a>]

00:33:59   and actually very similar where I really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2039">TS</a>]

00:34:01   liked loved the last issue as in kota [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2041">TS</a>]

00:34:04   yeah but when they had to wrap up all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2044">TS</a>]

00:34:06   the plotlines before that seems awfully [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2046">TS</a>]

00:34:08   sudden yeah and Israeli terror these [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2048">TS</a>]

00:34:10   really militia squad is here and she's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2050">TS</a>]

00:34:13   got this year's and we killed characters [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2053">TS</a>]

00:34:15   off and you know it was like we had to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2055">TS</a>]

00:34:18   end it seemed awfully abrupt ya too [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2058">TS</a>]

00:34:20   because we wanted to use it is this is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2060">TS</a>]

00:34:22   why I liked Runaways is because the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2062">TS</a>]

00:34:24   ending on that actually seems like a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2064">TS</a>]

00:34:26   really natural stopping point and the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2066">TS</a>]

00:34:28   pace makes sense whereas my the last man [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2068">TS</a>]

00:34:31   in annex market which we'll get to later [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2071">TS</a>]

00:34:32   and y the last man it feels like he gets [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2072">TS</a>]

00:34:36   to see what 60 issues for y the last man [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2076">TS</a>]

00:34:38   he gets like issue 53 and was like crap [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2078">TS</a>]

00:34:41   I've gotta wrap this up right and right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2081">TS</a>]

00:34:44   so you live here at last that last that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2084">TS</a>]

00:34:46   last whys and wherefores story arc which [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2086">TS</a>]

00:34:49   is the I need to I need to wrap this up [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2089">TS</a>]

00:34:52   and four issues and and it is you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2092">TS</a>]

00:34:55   it is not it's certainly exciting but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2095">TS</a>]

00:34:59   and it and it has some impact [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2099">TS</a>]

00:35:01   emotionally to have that the death of of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2101">TS</a>]

00:35:04   agent 355 and and also the emotional [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2104">TS</a>]

00:35:07   impact that she finally finishes her [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2107">TS</a>]

00:35:08   scarf and gives it to your a after [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2108">TS</a>]

00:35:10   needing it for the entire that's the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2110">TS</a>]

00:35:11   thing [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2111">TS</a>]

00:35:12   my wife is a knitter she loves that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2112">TS</a>]

00:35:13   there's this kick-ass secret agent [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2113">TS</a>]

00:35:15   Ritter that was all fine but when you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2115">TS</a>]

00:35:19   step back and you like wait a second [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2119">TS</a>]

00:35:21   what just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2121">TS</a>]

00:35:21   happened it kinda doesn't work [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2121">TS</a>]

00:35:25   no well there's some you if you look at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2125">TS</a>]

00:35:28   the art for me okay Benson Sandman now [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2128">TS</a>]

00:35:30   the art is kind of all over the map and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2130">TS</a>]

00:35:32   very very striking in that it's such a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2132">TS</a>]

00:35:34   relic of when it was produced but one of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2134">TS</a>]

00:35:36   the things I've always really loved [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2136">TS</a>]

00:35:37   about that series is that it's very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2137">TS</a>]

00:35:40   obviously deliberately plotted out to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2140">TS</a>]

00:35:43   where the ending makes sense and they do [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2143">TS</a>]

00:35:45   have like a 45 issued a new mom we're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2145">TS</a>]

00:35:48   all the loose ends get wrapped up and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2148">TS</a>]

00:35:50   you as a reader are left with a sense [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2150">TS</a>]

00:35:52   that my time paying attention this has [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2152">TS</a>]

00:35:54   been well spent [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2154">TS</a>]

00:35:55   whereas with bryan cave on it's just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2155">TS</a>]

00:35:59   weird because he does spend a lot of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2159">TS</a>]

00:36:00   time carefully building this world and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2160">TS</a>]

00:36:02   laying down these themes or or laying [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2162">TS</a>]

00:36:05   down the storytelling elements and then [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2165">TS</a>]

00:36:06   it's just so fast the end I don't know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2166">TS</a>]

00:36:08   it's a pacing problem or if it's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2168">TS</a>]

00:36:11   member i don't like it's like you got [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2171">TS</a>]

00:36:12   canceled and there was not only for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2172">TS</a>]

00:36:14   issues he chose his ending day baby [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2174">TS</a>]

00:36:16   that's why we like his the runaways [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2176">TS</a>]

00:36:18   better as in that the corporate comic [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2178">TS</a>]

00:36:21   thing there is no ending yeah right so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2181">TS</a>]

00:36:23   things just go on a serial nature [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2183">TS</a>]

00:36:24   because again endings are not all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2184">TS</a>]

00:36:26   writers are good at end is neil gaiman [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2186">TS</a>]

00:36:28   happens to be good attending yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2188">TS</a>]

00:36:29   garthe's good endings but the funny [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2189">TS</a>]

00:36:32   thing is the V the ending in issue 60 of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2192">TS</a>]

00:36:38   y which is about the big picture is not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2198">TS</a>]

00:36:42   about the overarching plot it's a it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2202">TS</a>]

00:36:45   about where the characters end up and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2205">TS</a>]

00:36:47   what happens to the society to your [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2207">TS</a>]

00:36:49   point about Brian Vaughn being good at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2209">TS</a>]

00:36:50   the big concept it's the conclusion of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2210">TS</a>]

00:36:52   the big concept i thought that was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2212">TS</a>]

00:36:55   beautiful and I actually really liked [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2215">TS</a>]

00:36:57   how x mark and i ended [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2217">TS</a>]

00:36:59   similarly because on the biggest does a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2219">TS</a>]

00:37:01   great job collateral [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2221">TS</a>]

00:37:02   oh my god very strong it's just that his [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2222">TS</a>]

00:37:05   plot resolution which was in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2225">TS</a>]

00:37:07   previous stuff and you're like that was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2227">TS</a>]

00:37:09   not as good but but I i left i love both [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2229">TS</a>]

00:39:48   rebutting a lot of the national dialogue [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2388">TS</a>]

00:40:10   policy sort of stories or focus more on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2410">TS</a>]

00:43:55   supposed to stop them early on and but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2635">TS</a>]

00:43:59   it doesn't really get resolved until [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2639">TS</a>]

00:44:00   lead there in the forties of the issues [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2640">TS</a>]

00:44:02   which i love that it felt set up with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2642">TS</a>]

00:44:04   how much of it he made up on the on the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2644">TS</a>]

00:44:06   spot i don't know but in the notice [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2646">TS</a>]

00:44:07   those dreams consists in the finale is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2647">TS</a>]

00:44:09   that the one character with the beatles [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2649">TS</a>]

00:44:11   song didn't exist [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2651">TS</a>]

00:44:13   oh right way which is totally tied into [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2653">TS</a>]

00:44:15   the whole parallel universe that is this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2655">TS</a>]

00:44:17   idea which I always thought I always [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2657">TS</a>]

00:44:18   think of that too that's what he hit one [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2658">TS</a>]

00:44:21   of my favorite concepts about parallel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2661">TS</a>]

00:44:22   universes and I love to see it in there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2662">TS</a>]

00:44:24   which is you know it Stephen King wrote [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2664">TS</a>]

00:44:26   a story like this to which is and that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2666">TS</a>]

00:44:29   if we have the pot parallel universes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2669">TS</a>]

00:44:31   there are works by people who died young [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2671">TS</a>]

00:44:34   there they've got their albums from [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2674">TS</a>]

00:44:36   later it's the beatles albums from the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2676">TS</a>]

00:44:38   seventies or john lennon albums from the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2678">TS</a>]

00:44:40   from the the eighties and nineties or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2680">TS</a>]

00:44:42   you know that the fifth Nirvana album or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2682">TS</a>]

00:44:44   all these things that don't actually [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2684">TS</a>]

00:44:45   exist or books that were not written or [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2685">TS</a>]

00:44:48   were written differently and and that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2688">TS</a>]

00:44:51   all plays out when there's the this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2691">TS</a>]

00:44:53   beetle song that doesn't exist that is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2693">TS</a>]

00:44:55   playing on a radio isn't playing on the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2695">TS</a>]

00:44:57   radio that here's an authorized an ipod [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2697">TS</a>]

00:45:00   or something yeah yeah that's your first [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2700">TS</a>]

00:45:02   hint that this is not a parallel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2702">TS</a>]

00:45:04   universe or that they're parallel [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2704">TS</a>]

00:45:06   universes at play here that this is not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2706">TS</a>]

00:45:08   you know it's not just the one universe [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2708">TS</a>]

00:45:10   which is what the story [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2710">TS</a>]

00:45:11   alternately is this is sort of about ya [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2711">TS</a>]

00:45:14   know it's also the parallel universes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2714">TS</a>]

00:45:16   thing I think is another one of his [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2716">TS</a>]

00:45:18   medical standards because the whole [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2718">TS</a>]

00:45:19   series about ultimately the decisions [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2719">TS</a>]

00:45:21   that Mitchell hundred makes and where he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2721">TS</a>]

00:45:22   lands because those decisions and it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2722">TS</a>]

00:45:25   not kind of the premise behind every [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2725">TS</a>]

00:45:26   parallel universes story as well choices [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2726">TS</a>]

00:45:29   in every universe shape the outcome of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2729">TS</a>]

00:45:30   that universe and if you take a look at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2730">TS</a>]

00:45:33   the last at the last issue which i found [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2733">TS</a>]

00:45:36   it a very surprising issued a lot of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2736">TS</a>]

00:45:38   ways but also very logical it's the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2738">TS</a>]

00:45:40   culmination of all his choices [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2740">TS</a>]

00:45:41   everything you find all those decision [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2741">TS</a>]

00:45:43   points and where he decided to turn in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2743">TS</a>]

00:45:45   each one of them and you see the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2745">TS</a>]

00:45:48   branches kinda getting locked off each [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2748">TS</a>]

00:45:49   time it is the series does take a an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2749">TS</a>]

00:45:54   interesting turn when he goes to the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2754">TS</a>]

00:45:56   Vatican and comes back saying i'm going [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2756">TS</a>]

00:46:00   to be the president of the united states [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2760">TS</a>]

00:46:01   it's like wow okay which I I I thought [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2761">TS</a>]

00:46:05   that was sort of strange but it it made [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2765">TS</a>]

00:46:07   him it made his decisions a little more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2767">TS</a>]

00:46:10   understandable in that way that he and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2770">TS</a>]

00:46:13   the pope basically says you have a demon [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2773">TS</a>]

00:46:15   inside you and I'm gonna going to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2775">TS</a>]

00:46:16   perform an exorcism which is very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2776">TS</a>]

00:46:18   strange but in the end it also sort of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2778">TS</a>]

00:46:20   is consistent with what the story is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2780">TS</a>]

00:46:22   that the fact that he goes from being [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2782">TS</a>]

00:46:25   kind of this accidental [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2785">TS</a>]

00:46:27   air to being a very ambitious guy in the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2787">TS</a>]

00:46:30   span of a couple of issues you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2790">TS</a>]

00:46:32   that's why it sort of worked but it was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2792">TS</a>]

00:46:34   a big a big turn to leave him down this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2794">TS</a>]

00:46:37   path that he was like I suppose [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2797">TS</a>]

00:46:39   inevitably going down but it made it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2799">TS</a>]

00:46:41   feel a little more realistic than it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2801">TS</a>]

00:46:43   would have otherwise you do watch him [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2803">TS</a>]

00:46:44   kind of losing his soul for his idealism [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2804">TS</a>]

00:46:46   is that work with the course of the 50 [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2806">TS</a>]

00:46:48   issues yeah right and that's when he was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2808">TS</a>]

00:46:50   just a super hero who saved the world [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2810">TS</a>]

00:46:52   trade center and he was running for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2812">TS</a>]

00:46:53   mayor because he wanted to do something [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2813">TS</a>]

00:46:55   that wasn't be a superhero and more but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2815">TS</a>]

00:46:58   that's not what got him elected we got [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2818">TS</a>]

00:46:59   him elected was being a superhero [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2819">TS</a>]

00:47:00   yeah but he was like a third-string kind [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2820">TS</a>]

00:47:02   of bureaucrat not very present he was an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2822">TS</a>]

00:47:06   engineer after he was an engineer at the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2826">TS</a>]

00:47:08   brooklyn bridge so he was just a civil [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2828">TS</a>]

00:47:10   engineer just a guy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2830">TS</a>]

00:47:11   yeah much like York right and that's the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2831">TS</a>]

00:47:13   thing is like the parallels and a lot of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2833">TS</a>]

00:47:15   careful more successful than your in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2835">TS</a>]

00:47:17   sort of the order if you're getting [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2837">TS</a>]

00:47:20   brighter than York you know like she's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2840">TS</a>]

00:47:24   going to get to know that policy stuff [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2844">TS</a>]

00:47:25   he was kind of dumb what I want to do [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2845">TS</a>]

00:47:27   for an interesting that all of Brian [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2847">TS</a>]

00:47:29   capons books and this was actually [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2849">TS</a>]

00:47:30   pretty striking between y and X machina [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2850">TS</a>]

00:47:32   is the female characters almost always [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2852">TS</a>]

00:47:34   have a really troubled relationship with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2854">TS</a>]

00:47:36   their parents especially their mother [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2856">TS</a>]

00:47:38   again this is why he went and rode for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2858">TS</a>]

00:47:39   lost [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2859">TS</a>]

00:47:40   yes just so much in common and they also [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2860">TS</a>]

00:47:42   have really troubling relationships with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2862">TS</a>]

00:47:45   women in their life who they are not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2865">TS</a>]

00:47:47   sexually involved with because you're [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2867">TS</a>]

00:47:48   always had a really hard time with hero [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2868">TS</a>]

00:47:50   right um well actually regardless of the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2870">TS</a>]

00:47:55   many baths and y the last man you gots [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2875">TS</a>]

00:47:58   York a lot of women with whom he had [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2878">TS</a>]

00:48:00   relationships that were never ever going [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2880">TS</a>]

00:48:01   to be romantic and he he did have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2881">TS</a>]

00:48:05   difficulty relating to these women are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2885">TS</a>]

00:48:07   trying to understand what made them tick [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2887">TS</a>]

00:48:09   and vice versa and i found that to also [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2889">TS</a>]

00:48:11   be the case in X market now where you've [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2891">TS</a>]

00:48:13   got Mitchell has a really hard [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2893">TS</a>]

00:48:15   relationship with his mother right and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2895">TS</a>]

00:48:24   the one who's got a family and his [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2904">TS</a>]

00:48:26   relationship with her you know it's it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2906">TS</a>]

00:48:29   energy for police [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2909">TS</a>]

00:48:31   yeah yeah but you know he does I i find [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2911">TS</a>]

00:48:34   it striking this is a theme that comes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2914">TS</a>]

00:48:35   up in both of his adult as opposed to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2915">TS</a>]

00:49:49   that's that was his last friend and by [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2989">TS</a>]

00:49:50   the time that by the time he comes back [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2990">TS</a>]

00:49:53   in the last issue that relationship is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2993">TS</a>]

00:49:54   completely destroyed two that's it sort [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2994">TS</a>]

00:49:57   of that metaphorical his best friends [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/2997">TS</a>]

00:50:01   can communicate with ya [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3001">TS</a>]

00:50:03   and yet the most the thing that that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3003">TS</a>]

00:50:05   that stuck with me is reporting as the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3005">TS</a>]

00:50:06   showdown outside his mom's trailer and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3006">TS</a>]

00:50:08   the gun lies to him and then the last [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3008">TS</a>]

00:50:12   issue the gun does something that is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3012">TS</a>]

00:50:14   perfect there's him a gun and it doesn't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3014">TS</a>]

00:50:15   it somewhat surprising and it's also [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3015">TS</a>]

00:50:18   reminder that even though his best [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3018">TS</a>]

00:50:19   friends are machines the machines can be [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3019">TS</a>]

00:50:20   fickle when when you give them a mind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3020">TS</a>]

00:50:22   their own or machines reflect their [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3022">TS</a>]

00:50:24   owners which means that they're not [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3024">TS</a>]

00:50:25   always predictable so I do think I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3025">TS</a>]

00:50:28   hadn't actually thought about that but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3028">TS</a>]

00:50:30   yeah he's an engineer at his best [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3030">TS</a>]

00:50:31   friends are machines and it's just a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3031">TS</a>]

00:50:34   profoundly lonely guy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3034">TS</a>]

00:50:36   yeah yeah chat i think a fascinating [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3036">TS</a>]

00:50:38   character [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3038">TS</a>]

00:50:39   mhm yeah when you talk about bryan cave [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3039">TS</a>]

00:50:41   on and and the concepts maybe being more [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3041">TS</a>]

00:50:43   than the characters hundred to me is a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3043">TS</a>]

00:50:46   really interesting character with a lot [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3046">TS</a>]

00:50:48   of contradictions and a lot of a very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3048">TS</a>]

00:50:50   modern character strange questions about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3050">TS</a>]

00:50:52   him I mean those [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3052">TS</a>]

00:50:53   some i was reading somebody was saying [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3053">TS</a>]

00:50:54   how you know there's a lot of questions [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3054">TS</a>]

00:50:57   about his sexuality because he basically [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3057">TS</a>]

00:50:59   have no relationships and and there [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3059">TS</a>]

00:51:01   isn't i thought that maybe he's gay but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3061">TS</a>]

00:51:03   we never seen with anybody I i actually [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3063">TS</a>]

00:51:05   don't believe that's the case because it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3065">TS</a>]

00:51:07   turns out in the end that his friend has [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3067">TS</a>]

00:51:09   these feelings for him and that he [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3069">TS</a>]

00:51:10   rejects them but but there's also a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3070">TS</a>]

00:51:13   flashback where he's talking to the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3073">TS</a>]

00:51:15   reporter who ends up being possessed by [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3075">TS</a>]

00:51:17   the same thing that gave me his powers [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3077">TS</a>]

00:51:19   and she turns she tries to destroy the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3079">TS</a>]

00:51:21   world is thrown into a parallel universe [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3081">TS</a>]

00:51:22   and that's how the story ends but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3082">TS</a>]

00:51:24   there's a flashback there where they [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3084">TS</a>]

00:51:27   have a kind charged conversation where [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3087">TS</a>]

00:51:29   he says maybe when I'm not the mayor [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3089">TS</a>]

00:51:30   anymore we can talk and we can take this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3090">TS</a>]

00:51:33   further but the fact that there are all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3093">TS</a>]

00:51:36   these questions about hundred and who is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3096">TS</a>]

00:51:38   he and does he love anybody in [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3098">TS</a>]

00:51:39   developmental of women to be loved just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3099">TS</a>]

00:51:42   the machines what's going on you know I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3102">TS</a>]

00:51:44   find that fascinating because he is an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3104">TS</a>]

00:51:46   interesting character he's not a blank [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3106">TS</a>]

00:51:47   with this blankness around him he's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3107">TS</a>]

00:51:49   guy with some empty spots of his life is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3109">TS</a>]

00:51:54   fascinating i also wonder if the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3114">TS</a>]

00:51:56   speculation about mitchells sexuality is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3116">TS</a>]

00:51:59   meant to reflect the speculation that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3119">TS</a>]

00:52:01   has actually surrounded other mayors of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3121">TS</a>]

00:52:03   New York too [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3123">TS</a>]

00:52:14   there are other people who are like ski [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3134">TS</a>]

00:52:16   because the right woman would have to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3136">TS</a>]

00:52:18   have a block and tackle this so hard to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3138">TS</a>]

00:52:23   find those they haven't y the last man [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3143">TS</a>]

00:52:25   well they would have died particularly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3145">TS</a>]

00:52:26   yeah i mean the crying game we've had a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3146">TS</a>]

00:52:28   whole different ending if it had the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3148">TS</a>]

00:52:29   fact that it's not married either [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3149">TS</a>]

00:52:48   basically what if Bloomberg was a was a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3168">TS</a>]

00:52:50   super hero instead of a you know media [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3170">TS</a>]

00:53:22   parallel universe and eat all of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3202">TS</a>]

00:53:24   humanity [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3204">TS</a>]

00:53:24   yeah again again yeah I can you do I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3204">TS</a>]

00:53:28   don't like the alien X Mark and I can [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3208">TS</a>]

00:53:30   see I just well they're not really [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3210">TS</a>]

00:53:32   aliens though they're just like the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3212">TS</a>]

00:53:34   worst the worst people from the worst [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3214">TS</a>]

00:53:36   parallel universe or something like that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3216">TS</a>]

00:53:38   happens in well there's 19 / parallel to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3218">TS</a>]

00:53:42   find satisfied I i ended sad for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3222">TS</a>]

00:53:46   Mitchell and I think in a way that was [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3226">TS</a>]

00:53:47   kind of satisfying because he's the vice [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3227">TS</a>]

00:53:49   president of the United States huh yeah [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3229">TS</a>]

00:53:51   better him than palin you know I mean [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3231">TS</a>]

00:53:54   that that's what made the difference [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3234">TS</a>]

00:53:56   right that here at least john mccain is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3236">TS</a>]

00:53:58   the president Mitchell hundreds device [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3238">TS</a>]

00:53:59   press identity and so bullet dodged [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3239">TS</a>]

00:54:02   but this is where we get angry tweets [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3242">TS</a>]

00:54:05   and emails from people who are you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3245">TS</a>]

00:54:07   well I wanted to listen to politics [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3247">TS</a>]

00:54:09   that's right well well I a comic about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3249">TS</a>]

00:54:11   it's a comment about the attics and so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3251">TS</a>]

00:54:13   so he's positive here that this is this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3253">TS</a>]

00:54:15   is one of the things that changes is the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3255">TS</a>]

00:54:17   John McCain is elected president [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3257">TS</a>]

00:54:18   Mitchell hundreds of the vice president [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3258">TS</a>]

00:54:20   and I think it's still lingering out [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3260">TS</a>]

00:54:21   there this idea that he's gonna be it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3261">TS</a>]

00:54:23   not that he might be the president is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3263">TS</a>]

00:54:25   that the Pope you know leaves him with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3265">TS</a>]

00:54:27   this feeling that he will be the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3267">TS</a>]

00:54:29   president of the united states i do [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3269">TS</a>]

00:54:32   know I actually do wonder if it's a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3272">TS</a>]

00:54:34   commentary on the the way we pick our [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3274">TS</a>]

00:54:36   our national level leaders is we have to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3276">TS</a>]

00:54:38   have to have an easy backstory that we [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3278">TS</a>]

00:54:40   can relate to or that we can aspire to I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3280">TS</a>]

00:58:09   totally understand his frustration at [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3489">TS</a>]

00:58:11   that moment with this character who [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3491">TS</a>]

00:58:12   tried to ruin his mayorship and once to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3492">TS</a>]

00:58:17   which they can't ever do [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3497">TS</a>]

00:58:20   school friend on Facebook who's always [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3500">TS</a>]

00:58:27   baby now know that I i actually wonder [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3507">TS</a>]

00:58:31   if that was a subconscious manifestation [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3511">TS</a>]

00:58:33   if hundred deliberately said bang or if [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3513">TS</a>]

00:58:36   it was just something where he's got the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3516">TS</a>]

00:58:38   connection with the machines and his [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3518">TS</a>]

00:58:40   conscious mind would have been horrified [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3520">TS</a>]

00:58:41   but a subconscious like do this just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3521">TS</a>]

00:58:43   makes things easier bang he wants to do [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3523">TS</a>]

00:58:46   it anyway I mean I get anything for this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3526">TS</a>]

00:58:48   equation you can put the gun to his head [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3528">TS</a>]

00:58:50   the question of does the technology [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3530">TS</a>]

00:58:52   reflect the world theater because again [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3532">TS</a>]

00:58:53   remember many many issues back 100 is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3533">TS</a>]

00:58:55   talking to the gun outside his mom's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3535">TS</a>]

00:58:58   trailer and he's like to have any bolts [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3538">TS</a>]

00:58:59   on the guns like no and then up surprise [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3539">TS</a>]

00:59:01   turns out the gun lied and hundred is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3541">TS</a>]

00:59:03   really surprised that the gun lies and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3543">TS</a>]

00:59:05   his moms like look what do you expect [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3545">TS</a>]

00:59:07   you know two Liars gun yet people yes [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3547">TS</a>]

00:59:09   people can lie this gun belonged to a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3549">TS</a>]

00:59:11   liar [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3551">TS</a>]

00:59:12   maybe technology reflections owners so [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3552">TS</a>]

00:59:14   maybe the gun had picked up on Kremlin's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3554">TS</a>]

00:59:16   death wish and on Mitchell's desire to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3556">TS</a>]

00:59:18   just have this over with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3558">TS</a>]

00:59:19   I mean I like there's a bit of ambiguity [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3559">TS</a>]

00:59:21   in there i think the thing that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3561">TS</a>]

00:59:23   horrified me about the last issue is how [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3563">TS</a>]

00:59:25   he responds to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3565">TS</a>]

00:59:27   friends confession of love and and just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3567">TS</a>]

00:59:29   that the total rigid the total revulsion [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3569">TS</a>]

00:59:31   and rejection of that I thought were [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3571">TS</a>]

00:59:33   were much more shocking to me than [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3573">TS</a>]

00:59:37   Kremlin stuff and to me I agree with you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3577">TS</a>]

00:59:40   to me it seemed less about sex and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3580">TS</a>]

00:59:45   attraction and more about how he was an [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3585">TS</a>]

00:59:48   inconvenient person in his life [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3588">TS</a>]

00:59:51   I mean it actually sort of like that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3591">TS</a>]

00:59:53   like I thought this was over [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3593">TS</a>]

00:59:55   why are you here you're kind of a mess [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3595">TS</a>]

00:59:57   now I can't really be around you because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3597">TS</a>]

00:59:59   you're a mess [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3599">TS</a>]

00:59:59   you're a mess [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3599">TS</a>]

01:00:00   and because he starts with that and I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3600">TS</a>]

01:00:01   think that's also code for us please [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3601">TS</a>]

01:00:03   don't lay the emotional demands on me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3603">TS</a>]

01:00:05   because i cannot ever handle that with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3605">TS</a>]

01:00:06   anybody remember capable of feeling [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3606">TS</a>]

01:00:08   exactly you know if maybe this goes back [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3608">TS</a>]

01:00:12   to if he does have this this profoundly [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3612">TS</a>]

01:00:14   troubled childhood [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3614">TS</a>]

01:00:15   maybe he did grow up thinking okay [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3615">TS</a>]

01:00:16   feelings are too much trouble or maybe [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3616">TS</a>]

01:00:18   he never learned the emotional [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3618">TS</a>]

01:00:19   vocabulary that he needed to be a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3619">TS</a>]

01:00:21   functional adult and so when somebody [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3621">TS</a>]

01:00:23   was adult comes and confesses messily [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3623">TS</a>]

01:00:25   and awkwardly and drunkenly that I have [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3625">TS</a>]

01:00:27   loved you for years like he has no tools [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3627">TS</a>]

01:00:30   to deal with this and so his first [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3630">TS</a>]

01:00:32   responses it's just inconvenient for me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3632">TS</a>]

01:00:34   right [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3634">TS</a>]

01:00:38   earlier right there he says I love you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3638">TS</a>]

01:00:40   Bradbury right i mean earlier it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3640">TS</a>]

01:00:42   happened so it's not as if somebody says [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3642">TS</a>]

01:00:44   that but I was one of these it yes you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3644">TS</a>]

01:00:49   hard moments where were you where you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3649">TS</a>]

01:00:51   have to step up and he can't no reason [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3651">TS</a>]

01:00:53   he's unable to me he blows it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3653">TS</a>]

01:00:58   really like about Brian capons work is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3658">TS</a>]

01:01:00   that it does lend itself to this kind of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3660">TS</a>]

01:01:02   discussion [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3662">TS</a>]

01:01:08   love that he has endings for his story I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3668">TS</a>]

01:01:10   don't you over the head with ideas like [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3670">TS</a>]

01:01:14   and develop more calculations right with [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3674">TS</a>]

01:01:38   be said for that even if you have issues [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3698">TS</a>]

01:01:40   with the ending i think i think it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3700">TS</a>]

01:01:41   it's got some depth and if you haven't [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3701">TS</a>]

01:01:44   we'll just say it again the stuff is [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3704">TS</a>]

01:01:46   worth reading and because it's got a [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3706">TS</a>]

01:01:56   a good season or two of a TV series [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3716">TS</a>]

01:01:59   oh I should also point out that you know [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3719">TS</a>]

01:02:02   of the art while last man is also very [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3722">TS</a>]

01:02:26   yeah yeah yeah yeah so it's not just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3746">TS</a>]

01:02:28   about bryan cave on it's about the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3748">TS</a>]

01:02:29   artists work now and he works very well [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3749">TS</a>]

01:02:31   with artists to which is which is also [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3751">TS</a>]

01:02:32   pretty evident the fact that his work [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3752">TS</a>]

01:02:34   translate so well with so many different [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3754">TS</a>]

01:02:36   pencils i think is is a strength of this [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3756">TS</a>]

01:02:38   is a writer [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3758">TS</a>]

01:02:39   what is he doing now I can't think of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3759">TS</a>]

01:02:41   anything that he's working on in comics [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3761">TS</a>]

01:02:43   really don't know wouldn't surprise me [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3763">TS</a>]

01:02:45   if he's doing some like Hollywood [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3765">TS</a>]

01:02:47   something-or-other you know screenplay [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3767">TS</a>]

01:02:50   or something like that because you did I [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3770">TS</a>]

01:02:51   need moved to LA and he did work for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3771">TS</a>]

01:02:53   lost and and I don't know what he's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3773">TS</a>]

01:02:55   doing what did I row [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3775">TS</a>]

01:02:57   oh it was the grant morrison universe i [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3777">TS</a>]

01:02:58   read recently where he actually said [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3778">TS</a>]

01:03:00   that most comic he he was talking about [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3780">TS</a>]

01:03:02   the end of comics this is in Rolling [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3782">TS</a>]

01:03:03   Stone the grant morrison interview and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3783">TS</a>]

01:03:05   what he said was as far as he's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3785">TS</a>]

01:03:07   concerned most of comics create [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3787">TS</a>]

01:03:09   narratives are moving to the screen and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3789">TS</a>]

01:03:11   he thinks it's a pretty natural [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3791">TS</a>]

01:03:12   progression that they want to a while [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3792">TS</a>]

01:03:14   last man movie [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3794">TS</a>]

01:03:15   yeah they had shia labeouf lined up for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3795">TS</a>]

01:03:17   it for a while which would have just [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3797">TS</a>]

01:03:18   been horrible [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3798">TS</a>]

01:03:18   yeah it sounds like the sticking point [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3798">TS</a>]

01:03:20   is that channel doesn't want to do it [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3800">TS</a>]

01:03:22   while they want to do the transformer [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3802">TS</a>]

01:03:23   character they want to do three the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3803">TS</a>]

01:03:26   director who is attached to want to do [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3806">TS</a>]

01:03:28   it is like two or three movies that it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3808">TS</a>]

01:03:30   not enough story for a single movie [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3810">TS</a>]

01:03:32   watching a great-niece HBO series [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3812">TS</a>]

01:03:34   well that's I think that's exactly all [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3814">TS</a>]

01:03:36   of these all of these bryan cave on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3816">TS</a>]

01:03:38   one's feel like TV shows to me no movies [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3818">TS</a>]

01:03:40   because you need to play it out that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3820">TS</a>]

01:03:41   like Germany it is not now right if you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3821">TS</a>]

01:03:44   like the journey across north america [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3824">TS</a>]

01:03:45   around like that last man could be a TV [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3825">TS</a>]

01:03:49   show like walking dead yeah exactly and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3829">TS</a>]

01:03:52   maybe we're looking at you into that out [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3832">TS</a>]

01:03:53   maybe not because they just got the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3833">TS</a>]

01:03:55   budget problems know somebody else you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3835">TS</a>]

01:03:57   may like the next talking did ya stars [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3837">TS</a>]

01:03:59   now stars HBO maybe FF good effects [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3839">TS</a>]

01:04:03   would do well with them with ex machina [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3843">TS</a>]

01:04:05   because FX and this forgive me for [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3845">TS</a>]

01:04:08   dressing the TV but this is something [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3848">TS</a>]

01:04:09   that I also hang out with a lot F X [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3849">TS</a>]

01:04:12   tends to excel at doing dramas which are [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3852">TS</a>]

01:04:15   essentially workplace brought dramas but [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3855">TS</a>]

01:04:16   actually more about human condition and [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3856">TS</a>]

01:04:18   it's also kinda DX macana yeah and it's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3858">TS</a>]

01:04:22   also kind of dude skid which ex machina [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3862">TS</a>]

01:04:23   is as a necessary imagine ex machina [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3863">TS</a>]

01:04:26   written [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3866">TS</a>]

01:04:26   by west wing guy is working [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3866">TS</a>]

01:04:30   Aaron Sorkin writing ex machina would [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3870">TS</a>]

01:04:32   make me very happy [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3872">TS</a>]

01:04:33   sure it stitch then it literally is the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3873">TS</a>]

01:04:34   west wing with a guy with a jet there's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3874">TS</a>]

01:04:36   a lot of yeah i think they would [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3876">TS</a>]

01:04:37   exercise in bartlett yeah sure on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3877">TS</a>]

01:04:39   driving it I'm not against Sorkin fan [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3879">TS</a>]

01:04:41   but i think that what it as long as you [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3881">TS</a>]

01:04:42   had bryan cave on doing the plot because [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3882">TS</a>]

01:04:44   I think circuit is really weak on [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3884">TS</a>]

01:04:46   long-term planning and execution but his [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3886">TS</a>]

01:04:48   dialogues yummy treats yeah that [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3888">TS</a>]

01:04:50   dialogue is great [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3890">TS</a>]

01:04:51   yeah although to be fair to von he he's [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3891">TS</a>]

01:04:54   not afraid to have long stretches of [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3894">TS</a>]

01:04:56   dialogue that are sometimes quite [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3896">TS</a>]

01:04:57   enjoyable to read they're not aaron [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3897">TS</a>]

01:04:59   sorkin maybe but that he's not afraid to [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3899">TS</a>]

01:05:00   have and sometimes clunky times [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3900">TS</a>]

01:05:03   yeah it's true so that brings us to the [<a href="https://overcast.fm/+kMbhdVAo/3903">TS</a>]
