the sombrero "to show support" is def satire in order to clown white liberals who think they're super progressive while simultaneously pushing stereotypes etc I think that couple is actually fully satire through the entire thing
One of my favorite moments of this season is when it’s shown that ally didn’t vote for Hillary. Her reaction to trump winning makes so much sense because she essentially blames herself (people with her mindset) for what happened. That’s the only real part of the whole political side of the show that I liked. It really did restart all of her fears because it was coming from a place of shame and self doubt in her own mentality.
I didn't love this season, but the way panic attacks were represented was so beautiful and gripping, Sarah Paulson did a great job (in my opinion). Also all the small plot twists in this season were soooooo entertaining, and the big plot twists were even better.
I’m 24 weeks pregnant and sick with the flu so I had the worst Christmas ever but thank you for giving me amazing long content so I’m not bored out of my mind ❤
not pregnant, but giiiirl, my pms/period symptoms and immune system issues have been kicking my ass this week. idk what it's like to be 5 months pregnant, but i'm here for you and with you on needing this content rn.
6:39 id love to see you cover scream queens, I think the best way to look at/cover it is just approach it in a way where we’re laughing at these offensive characters, not their offensive jokes, I feel like there’s some genuine camp between the shit
I think these run throughs would be so much better if you added little screenshots of what your pointing at to the video so we can see. Other than that love the run throughs always.
I feel like this season gets so much hate for the political stuff, but the season isn’t about the politics itself, but about how the fear and uncertainty of America’s future led to the fanatical cult behavior. Yeah, political stuff naturally pops up, but that isn’t the point. I mean the main character is shown to have several phobias in addition to political fears and those fears are used to manipulate her into the cult and her overcoming those fears is what eventually frees her from the fanaticism everyone is involved with.
My thing with Cult is that I had a mental breakdown in 2016 and I have a panic attack every time I watch it. It's a great season and I NEVER want to watch it again. This season DOES have the best death in the series. Ivy deserved it.
What I appreciated the most about this season is that the storytelling was simple for the most part, yet so entertaining. Ally’s character near the end had developed a HUGE arc. With the way “Delicate” dragged out Anna’s visions, you would think Ally would be terrorized by clowns and phobias for nine episodes. Instead she turns into an antihero, conquering her phobias and the cult, and I was rooting for her the whole time !
I’m so glad you’re doing this. I didn’t watch the season because the first 10 minutes triggered the fuck out of me (and honestly, I watch fiction to be taken out of the shitty world, not dive deeper into it), but I’ve always wanted to know what it was about.
I will say this was a season of AHS that really made me believe Ryan Murphy just liked adding traumatizing violence and sex in his art.... The plot ran thin. The violence and sex are heavy.
to me, one of the best things to come out from this season was the beginning/consolidation os the billie lourd/leslie grossman "era". i LOVE these actresses so much in every character that they play on ahs
I started watching this season with friends in college when it was airing and we got like 3 weeks in before giving up on it bc the election plot was just too much 😭 so thanks for recapping so I can finally watch it now lol!
You forgot the most important thing in 11/9: kai’s sexcapade with Harrison gotta have the gay sex quota in AHS going forward ❤ Edit: I also love love love how Kai is like. Gay + Homophobic. Like. Slay. He does what he can to manipulate everybody. He’s such a good antagonist
This season really helped me process the 2016 election. It made me realize how powerful of a tool fear is and if you can tap into that, you can get people to do almost anything including compromising their moral code.
1:48 Thank you for keeping the politics out! 🙏 Muuuch appreciated. I'm so impressed by how well you cover AHS. I've watched the entire series and started binging your playlist out of curiosity because it seems like such an impossible format to recap. Awesome job 👏
I'm so glad I started watching you do these videos because I always try to watch Cult but fall asleep during episode 1. but I'm weirdly fascinated by cults so on paper it should be a season for me
The funniest thing from this season is giving the everything-phobic incel the name Kai and long bright blue hair. That… THAT is a power move. But then again it could be theorized the character is bisexual but, eeeeeh still funny.
i don’t think kai even had an agenda at the end bc it’s revealed his therapist planted all those things in his mind just to rile up the feminist movement. like he was obviously fucked in the head but idk if he was a true incel at heart or not because the writing is a little all over the place. one minute it’s for gay rights and the next hes just like the reddit incels so idek
When I saw your community post on the AHS recap schedule, I was so confused about this season because I had literally wiped it’s existence from my mind! but it’s cool because now that I’m watching I feel like I’m going in spoiler free LOL
Wearing sombreros wasn't bad taste on Ryans behalf, he did that on purpose to show the irony with yt liberals preaching about racism, it was a commentary about real life
Love the sunflower blouse bestie. I am thinking of making a recap series of my own thanks to you and Mike and Jenny, if I do i will definitely mention you as inspiration
Yet another great video! I love that you break down the timelines with characters AND the events. Makes it so easy to follow. Hope you had a merry christmas and a happy new year.
This was so good! I only watched AHS Seasons 1, 2, and 3. I kinda got bored when I started 4 - don't shoot me! I still watch these videos because it's a way to see what actually happened in the other seasons. It also helps that you're so entertaining! Can't wait for the next AHS video 😭❤️
You have been so ON my content i assumed this channel was HUGE, you definitely have a new fan! I feel so lucky to have found you! Brb, sharing with the babes. ❤
Oh my goodness you are making sure we eat well this holiday season! I Iove these vids, your personality is so fun to watch and I love that sunflower shirt! Edit "if you don't know what 9/11 is I'm not explaining it here" SENT me 😂😂😂
It's so funny that you have plenty of space behind you but you refuse to use it and instead you crumped everything together haha As a Non‐northamerican it's a really difficult season to rewatch because it reflects the political moments from that era, which is foreigner to any person who isn't living there. To me the highlight of cult is Leslie Grossman. Definitely one of the best additions to AHS because, as you mentioned Angela Bassett is always over the top with high energy and I think that Leslie is as over the top as her
I got this one spoiled so badly for me and I'm not over it. I literally told my coworker. Haven't seen it yet, no spoilers and his next sentence was, yeah. So the main bitch kills her gf and joins the cult. We're enemies now and forever
Love the message and humor of this season. One of the few seasons where they're sure how it ends. Interestingly I think in terms of humor Cult is the closest to Scream Queens out of all AHS seasons! 😅
You've got so comfortable in front of the camera and it shows and makes the recaps more fun! Also the editing is just so on point!!! 🔥🔥🔥 Alsooo would you ever consider doing a Q&A? if you would, my question would be, does the tattoo mean anything or do you just like birds?
i mean i would but i don’t think anyone would watch haha. i got it on my 18th birthday with my mom who got an open birdcage. i wanted a bird because i always knew i’d want to “leave the nest” despite how close we are. just 1 year later i ended up moving out and now i live 2,000 miles away from her. just a reminder that she’s with me wherever i am
@@cainvarner omg that's so sweet and precious 😭❤️ your mum must be so proud!! P.s. I would watch it! 😤 I love the recaps but you have big "any video i make will be iconic" vibes ✨️
i remember watching this weekly my first semester of college with a bunch of people in my dorm! but then i got really sick and hospitalized and i stopped watching and never finished it 💀
one detail i love about this season: the episode titles, they're great also as a non-american, the american aspect of american horror story... we dgaf, babes
After I re-watched this season in 2024, I was able to appreciate it more. This was Evan Peter’s climax performance in the AHS anthology. Watching this in 2017 was so uncomfortable. We didn’t know where the country was heading and the horrors relating to political supporters were very real.
Oh a struggled with this series Billie lourd carried me through it I’m a major scream queens fan so she saved the series for me Side note scream queens would be banging for this style of video if your still taking suggestions idk what you have planned but it just came into my head Edit: you just talked about it in the video ignore me valid reasoning why you might not cover it
I genuinely hate this season lmao but it did entertain me I guess. It's my last favorite for sure but I love being a hater. That said I've watched some of this seasons episodes up to three times without ever once remembering a single detail and that's not a thing that's happened to me before lmao EDITED TO ADD: excellent summation/review as always! Love your recaps!
Cult when it was airing kept reminding me why I don't watch AHS with my parents, but I was able to get over the sexual nonsense of Hotel with my parents so maybe it's not that bad. Anyway if there's anything I rewatch over and over from this season it's the spaghetti moment.
i unfortunately struggled to connect with cult a lot at first, i felt like it did a horrible job at introducing the characters; e.g. instead of getting to know Ally first and feeling as much sympathy as i would've otherwise, it's more like "here's this random woman you don't know, she's scared of everything so feel bad for her" it def got better towards the middle but the end (Kai's descent into fascism and madness ig) was also kinda rough to sit thru lol [[plus, i'm not american, so while i obviously heard lots abt it, the whole election stuff didn't really hit that close to home for me tbh]]

Great insight!
I liked it because it reveals that the reason her wife tries to make her experience mind death is that she voted for jill stein
I didn't love this season, but the way panic attacks were represented was so beautiful and gripping, Sarah Paulson did a great job (in my opinion). Also all the small plot twists in this season were soooooo entertaining, and the big plot twists were even better.
I thought it was hilarious
this season is rlly just "this triggers her fear of (anything in earth)"
He's getting closer to the AHS seasons I haven't seen yet and it's making me want to watch them in advance
I’m 24 weeks pregnant and sick with the flu so I had the worst Christmas ever but thank you for giving me amazing long content so I’m not bored out of my mind ❤

This was me last year this time and I promise long content makes it easier 😅

6:39 id love to see you cover scream queens, I think the best way to look at/cover it is just approach it in a way where we’re laughing at these offensive characters, not their offensive jokes, I feel like there’s some genuine camp between the shit
This but also with riverdale
the campiest shit EVER
Absolutely, even at the time, the joke is the character (which are really caricatures) not the jokes themselves.
I think these run throughs would be so much better if you added little screenshots of what your pointing at to the video so we can see. Other than that love the run throughs always.

A cult in American Horror Story: Cult…. Groundbreaking
i was shocked 🥶
I fainted.
This was a greater plot twist ever since we found out that there was an asylum in American Horror Story: Asylum.
@@oscardepaz3063I was gagged, gooped and guffawed when I found out there was a freakshow in American Horror Story/ Freakshow.
My thing with Cult is that I had a mental breakdown in 2016 and I have a panic attack every time I watch it. It's a great season and I NEVER want to watch it again. This season DOES have the best death in the series. Ivy deserved it.

Me too. Holy sht
Same they make both sides of the coin look fucking insane
I love love LOVE Billie Lourde. Absolute queen. It’s a shame she’s a part of some of the worst seasons but at least she’s always a shining light.
I will say this was a season of AHS that really made me believe Ryan Murphy just liked adding traumatizing violence and sex in his art.... The plot ran thin. The violence and sex are heavy.
well no the plot is HEAVY but there’s still tons of violence
cult is one of my guilty pleasure seasons i love it so much
Me too… despite the cringe election stuff it’s definitely one of the most rewatchable!
Say what you will about AHS cult, with all the flaws the season had, it was ENTERTAINING as hell
honestly, i don't know if i slept through it or i got amnesia cause i remember 1/4 of it
and is one of the very few seasons with an actual good ending!
AHS fans never beating the recycled plot allegations (They like them)
I wasn't that entertained, but I didn't connect with or care about the majority of characters.
to me, one of the best things to come out from this season was the beginning/consolidation os the billie lourd/leslie grossman "era". i LOVE these actresses so much in every character that they play on ahs
Cult was one of the only ahs seasons where I was like in shock about certain things happening
Agreed! And certain parts of Roanoke as well. But cult is the most shocking by far
I started watching this season with friends in college when it was airing and we got like 3 weeks in before giving up on it bc the election plot was just too much 😭 so thanks for recapping so I can finally watch it now lol!
This season was a mess I can’t even imagine how long of a video the apocalypse is going to be.
I struggled SO hard with this season but ngl the back half sold me
You forgot the most important thing in 11/9: kai’s sexcapade with Harrison
gotta have the gay sex quota in AHS going forward ❤
Edit: I also love love love how Kai is like. Gay + Homophobic. Like. Slay. He does what he can to manipulate everybody. He’s such a good antagonist
i chose not to include that because there’s just no way for me to say that without getting the video blocked 😭
This season really helped me process the 2016 election. It made me realize how powerful of a tool fear is and if you can tap into that, you can get people to do almost anything including compromising their moral code.

In scream queens Emma Roberts is basically Madison with no powers😅😅
You mean Madison is Just Emma Roberts...
Wearing sombreros wasn't bad taste on Ryans behalf, he did that on purpose to show the irony with yt liberals preaching about racism, it was a commentary about real life
yes but the act of doing it in itself is cringe and done in poor taste as pointed out by latino people.
Okay 😂

you are cranking these OUT nd we appreciate you🤭
Been waiting for the next season!! Thank you!!
Your hair is looking good in this video babes…I like it. I definitely needed a refresher on this season.

Yay! Thank you for the new vid! 💜
Ugh this season sounds a little too real. Here we are late 2023 living in the hellscape for women that everyone warned us would happen if Trump won.
he can and probably will win again 🙄
it's the way you eat it up every time
45:08 We have been talking about how 1984 ret-conned Hotel, but Cult did it first.
i mean not really because the zodiac’s identity wasn’t revealed in Hotel.
you feed me so well with these videos👨🍼
Cult when it was airing kept reminding me why I don't watch AHS with my parents, but I was able to get over the sexual nonsense of Hotel with my parents so maybe it's not that bad.
Anyway if there's anything I rewatch over and over from this season it's the spaghetti moment.
i unfortunately struggled to connect with cult a lot at first, i felt like it did a horrible job at introducing the characters;
e.g. instead of getting to know Ally first and feeling as much sympathy as i would've otherwise, it's more like "here's this random woman you don't know, she's scared of everything so feel bad for her"
it def got better towards the middle but the end (Kai's descent into fascism and madness ig) was also kinda rough to sit thru lol
[[plus, i'm not american, so while i obviously heard lots abt it, the whole election stuff didn't really hit that close to home for me tbh]]
1, ur tattoo is so kewt omg
2, omg ur shirt is even more KEE-YEWT gimme pls??
Back for the rewatch ❤
