วีดีโอ

for real :/

totally agree, the performances are so good!

It was awesome.

amazing episode :D I envy the people who have yet to see it for the first time

That's actually a really good observation, I particularly liked how the UFO was incorporated in S2

I'm going to look up Neverwhere

Yeah, an amazing show! I watched Benny Safdie's interview at the Lincoln Theater and he said "its just what happened and we just filmed it" :D

That phone call in the penultimate episode made me tear up :')

This is the single most Minnesotan shit ever. We do it all the time.

omg for real, that first time we see him up there scared the shit out of me

noo I didnt mean if she was pregnant compared to episode 9, I meant in the beginning of episode 10 on rachel ray she didnt seem that pregnant (or maybe she was which is why I was questioning it)

ayy, thank you, what an insane way to end it, so weird but kind of feels appropriate :D

ah thats an interesting interpretation!

That’s how I interpreted it as well….

what the hell is this nick mullen from the adam friedland show?! and yeah everything about season 2 was just top tier!

I've only seen the first season of twin peaks!! But this is definitely lynchian in the best way

@@Cinecorner7 Go watch the rest, you won't be disappointed 🍷

I might do a reaction series for the rest or the final season (the return)@@CPD98

omg so awesome to have someone from Minnesota!! that was such a wholesome ending

OHHHHH, of course, thank you!

Yep, cigarettes are prison currency and a cliched notion of buying your way to avoid grave harm behind bars…it’s metaphorical. Roy grabbing it was his acknowledgment of desperation/hopeless (one pack of cigarettes will not save him).

yeahh, that makes sense, I was thinking if it was a callback to something or smth like that@@Melodicroger

In true Lorraine fashion, just one pack of cigarettes is extremely cruel because that won't be nothing and after what she said Roy probably will be smoking them himself 😅...

noo, I'm sure this conversation actually took place

Albert went to Washington?@@Cinecorner7

True Detective is all I know about. Will you be doing weekly or bi-weekly reviews of it? The supernatural seems more than hinted at here as well.

I didn't make a reaction to the first episode, because I wasn't sure if I was going to like it, but after watching ep1 I really enjoy it, so I'll be making a reaction/discussion video every single week for each episode!@@Stress-Free-K

@@Cinecorner7 Ya ... it looks like its gonna be a goodie! Can't wait to see your take.

like i've been in a group and said/did something that I thought would make everyone laugh and no one did, so the moment where he tried to make everyone laugh in the comedy class (end of episode 4 or 5) literally was so horrifiying and REAL, I really wish there were more characters on TV like that.

Ohhh, thats an awesome reference, I really would like to see more of this actor

I wonder if that implies way out of his element in this show.

I SOO AGREE with that, when Whitney holds onto him, they balance out, but when Moses (who has much more mass than Whitney) almost flies away with Asher, the way they held that shot of Whitney and Asher floating in the air also made it feel like it has pretty strong significance. As for Nathan Fielder being a great director, so damn true, with the rehearsal and now this, what a talented guy honestly. I really hope we see more collaborations with Safdie and Fielder, Safdie explained how hes coming from the side of trying to turn fiction into a reality and Fielder coming from trying to turn reality into fiction so when they meet in the middle, it's just such original TV.

The perfect replica of the house upside down is exactly the kind of thing that Nathan would do. He had entire buildings made in warehouses for "The Rehearsal", so that fits his MO perfectly.

true, and he will probably start renting out the upside down house on airbnb (he graduated from one of canada's top business schools with really good grades)@@nickabenson

That’s a nice observation! I also thought it was interesting how Asher is almost always on his phone, utilizing his phone, and Whitney gets mad at his about the phone… but the one time he really needs it he can’t get to it.

I agree with you, it's especially effective I think because up to this point it had been this ultrarealistic show and then its contrasted with this supernatural element. And even though I dont really understand (and probably never will :D) whats happening on screen it really connects emotionally which is the important thing.

Facts I felt so anxious even after the episode ended

I haven’t smoked in weeks and I had to take a dab after this☠️

LOL@@robgaertner632

Yea, the intercutting between Asher and the child being born really left the impression that theyre connected, and omg I didnt even make the connection that he flies away in the fetal position!!! And also the way it was shot I think its a pretty clear ode to 2001, except in 2001 its a baby thats flying through space further implying (I think) the connection between Asher and Whitney's newborn child.

that 2nd part you said is so true, half of me loves that they left it ambigious and the other half is like i need concrete answers :D but I really think it is kind of lynchian, because the literal content of it is so bizarre, yet I kind of feel like emotionally I understand it

@@Cinecorner7 The fan reaction reminds me of the "Who Shot J.R." season finale the of Dallas TV show (Which also turned out to be a dream). That show caused a near-nation-wide breakdown across the US with people feuding about "whodunnit". Too bad the Curse is not nearly as popular. Nevertheless, I do think the Curse fandom should rally around the dream interpretation for two reasons: 1) Don't we want a season 2 and one with Asher in it? 2) If Asher really was "cursed" then Nala is the most likely culprit. Further promoting the "Magic Negro" trope. A sentiment that I think the show rails against thru Cara. So let's not eat that turkey. Also, the dream theory does not in any way diminish the Lynchian-Felinniesque elegance of the episode. In fact, dream sequences are well-established vehicles for driving home those unmoored feelings of wonder we all felt afterward.

I think there are other curse interpretations like the idea that it was Dougie's curse, a curse from the land itself, the idea that if you believe in a curse that it can become real, etc. The show does a good job of providing a lot of alternate sources for the curse that don't require Nala to have actually cursed him.@@Stress-Free-K

@@nickabenson Yes. And Dougie's crying after watching Asher fly up into the air could be seen as an admission of guilt. But I think it is more likely that Dougie feels more guilty for just not believing Asher in the first place. Especially after Asher so convincingly pleaded with him to be believed. And yes Asher did say I curse you to Asher. But that seemed more like him trying to be mean after Asher shamed him about his wife's death. Plus, Asher was on his knees in tears begging Nala to curse him. So I don't think Dougie even thinks he has that ability. So why should we? However, the land having cursed Asher isn't something I've noticed developed in the show. Would you be so kind as to provide some instances to support that theory?

The show talks a lot about the idea that the ownership of the land in that area is contested, and that it truly belongs to the Native American people who have lived there for ages. Whitney and Asher claim to deeply care about this issue, but it is presented to the audience that this care is more superficial than anything. They are trying to exploit the land for their own gain. Whitney is doing it to stroke her own ego. Asher is doing it to try and please Whitney. I could imagine the curse being a retaliation of the land itself against them in an effort to stop the show. Remember Dougie specifically said that Asher was a necessary component for the show to continue. Also Asher's curse is that the land literally pushes him away, preventing him from touching it. What are your thoughts on this land curse theory? There are honestly endless interpretations.@@Stress-Free-K

Theres no way that it's real, also at the very end when the people are saying "is that the HGTV guy" theyre looking up at the tree while saying it (it might be because theyre looking at the firetruck), literally makes me think asher hung himself from the tree or something. Another interesting thing someone pointed out and I cant get out of my head was that Asher said in the episode "sometimes you gotta go to extreme lengths to make your point" which might tie into the ending being also very extreme to make a point about Ashers and Whitneys relationship in reality.

@@Cinecorner7 One TH-camr who does a fantastic job paralleling Asher's ascent into the heavens with the birth of baby Asher is - Daniel Barrero 8665. Your noting of the 2001: Space Odessey moment was right on point with his perceptions. He also highlights the "extreme lengths" remark. And because this show is so meta that, floating your main character off into the vastness of space certainly qualifies as extreme. I actually think Dougie was right. Asher is having a panic attack about being a father. And either is dreaming up the entire episode. Or at least having a panic attack which manifests in his mind as no longer being able to be acknowledged by the entire world, literally. Further extending Asher's perception that sometimes he's invisible to people. Now gravity refuses to accept his existence. So Whitney has to end up calling the doula and paramedics cuz Asher chases himself up a tree. And once the branch is cut he loses consciousness and eventually is brought to the hospital for observation.

You know what I found odd was Dougie talking to the firefighter which at first I thought of as a comedic moment, but he says "weird when I see my friend up there like that, who's nothing like my dad you know he's a good guy, Asher.." and the way he delivers this line feels so forced and open for Dougie to say, which makes me further question of whether its real or its Asher's imagination. Maybe I'm reading a little bit too much into it, but yeah it really feels like this is what Asher would hope in his imagination Dougie would say about him :D @@Stress-Free-K

@@Cinecorner7 Asher's cool, uncringy, and relatively cleaver demeanor on Rachel Ray seemed out of character. He also gave away a house where he invested $200k and did not blink an eye when Abshir seemed annoyed at the offer. And his deep, incisive comments at the Shabbat dinner also feel like Asher cosplaying who he'd like to be. Similar to his kinky sex talk Whitney was privileged to overhear. But you're right. Ash doesn't realize Dougie doesn't have much respect for him. So it makes sense in Asher's dream Dougie would have bizarre complimentary things to say that make little sense.

@@Cinecorner7it's definitely real. he vanished from the face of the earth on the day of his baby's birth. Whitney was now forever a Siegel and he fulfilled his purpose. she wanted him gone and gone he went; per his passionate plea on the bed after viewing the tape. there was a reason the father didn't want anyone talking about curses with the girl cuz clearly she has power.

LOL budweisers and shotguns

im sorry..

omgg those posters are from when i was 7 years younger :(

thats from 2017 😭

I'm so excited for this, it's crazy! I'm holding off from reading the book until I see this 2nd part though!

yeah someone mentioned it as well! however I still think it was silly how they presented it :D

Yeah but still the way Nolan blocks the scene is pretty bad it makes it comic

Right... Nolan is a bad director@@tiburc10

You think Nolan can't make a bad choice? You think he is perfect and eveything he does is perfect?@@alioncaci

I'm saying that you, or I, or most of the people on the planet are not in any position of making fun in a judgmental way for his cinematic choices, @@tiburc10 If you wanted attention, congratulations, you got it. But it still doesn't make you right.

ohh thats very interesting to know! I definitely should check it out, im just saying that it was presented it a funny way (imo)

@@Cinecorner7 it would've been even better if Oppenheimer looked in the distance while talking to Einstein, then looked back but Einstein disappeared... Like Batman 🦇

OMG that would have been insane *everyone in the theatre wouldve gone crazy*@@1Dubbelman

xdd

😂 im relieved too that we werent the only ones because we felt so bad in the cinema
