Transcripts

Leif:

Now captain is dressing Nate like he is her son.

Leif:

Last week I wondered whether this relationship could get any worse. This

Leif:

week's writer, John Stevens says, hold my beer.

Steve:

Hold his fucking beer.

Steve:

Dressing him up like a, boy

Steve:

toy. Like a, fucking head doll.

Leif:

So gross.

Steve:

Oh my God.

Leif:

Hey, Upper East siders and all you scandal loving listeners out

Leif:

there, you just tuned into the non judging breakfast

Leif:

pod where the coffee is strong, the waffles

Leif:

are fresh, and the gossip is hotter than ever.

Leif:

My name is Leif and I'm your seasoned gossip girl

Leif:

veteran.

Steve:

And I'm Steve, your newbie, your

Steve:

greenhorn. You're, I don't know, Leif. What do we call

Steve:

the season two gossip girl newbies?

Leif:

I'm not really sure, but can you tell the difference between

Leif:

an american actor faking a british accent and a british

Leif:

actor playing an american faking a british accent?

Steve:

As a matter of fact, I can pick up on

Steve:

it here and there and I will. And I actually have quite a bit to

Steve:

say on that. I have quite a bit

Steve:

to say on that.

Leif:

Okay, let's go.

Steve:

So here's the deal, folks. Leap has been a fan of

Steve:

Gossip Girl since the beginning and I'm watching for the very

Steve:

first time. And together we're your dynamic duo, bringing

Steve:

you all the drama, romance, and

Steve:

sometimes questionable fashion choices of this

Steve:

iconic 2007 series.

Leif:

That's right. Each week we're going to take a deep dive into the

Leif:

series one episode at a time. We're going to analyze all

Leif:

the obscure references, parallels, and

Leif:

of course the couture catastrophes. We're also going to talk

Leif:

about behind the scenes gossip and fandom stories

Leif:

along the way.

Steve:

And since we're all about inclusivity here at, ah, the

Steve:

non judging breakfast podesthe, there's always room for

Steve:

you at the non judging breakfast table. So go ahead

Steve:

and grab your mimosa, a cup of coffee, or

Steve:

some of Chuck and Nate's special medicine if it's that kind

Steve:

of morning. And let's go ahead and get right into

Steve:

this episode first.

Leif:

actually, we got a little cast news to talk about.

Leif:

Won't be exactly news by the time you guys are listening to

Leif:

this, but it was just a couple days ago that the

Leif:

new Ariana Grande video came out of

Leif:

featuring our own and Badgley.

Steve:

I didn't actually realize how new

Steve:

that was. You had mentioned it to me just today.

Leif:

Yeah, they came out four days ago as of this recording. Oh,

Leif:

okay, so it's a sort of COVID but

Leif:

not a cover of the boy is mine by Monica and

Leif:

Brandi, who are in the video as well. And

Leif:

it's, I like, the music's not exactly

Leif:

for me, but I did enjoy the video

Leif:

because it was, you know, kind of a throwback. It told a

Leif:

whole story and went through, like, all

Leif:

scenario.

Steve:

It really reminded me of the old MTV days

Steve:

where, where you would have, like a bit

Steve:

of a movie that goes along with

Steve:

the video. You, you saw it, like, with a lot of Michael

Steve:

Jackson videos and a lot of the hip hop videos,

Steve:

especially, like, even with, like, the break in the middle, that

Steve:

was no music and just a cut scene.

Steve:

Yeah, it really reminded me of some

Steve:

classic MTV when, when

Steve:

artists were really starting to try to play

Steve:

with the format and, yeah, like you said, the

Steve:

song wasn't really, the song wasn't for

Steve:

me. You know, it's, I

Steve:

wish no shade towards Ariana Grande.

Steve:

my niece is a huge fan.

Leif:

We don't, we don't, we don't want to be killed by the grande fans.

Leif:

And she got a great voice. But I had to bet I did

Leif:

go back and watch the other, the Monica and

Leif:

brandy version again, and

Leif:

it just. Not necessarily them, but

Leif:

the, the beat just had a little more junk in the trunk.

Steve:

Yeah. And that song also is one. It's going to take me

Steve:

back, you know, it's always going to put me back in

Steve:

college and, and I, it's always going to take me

Steve:

back there. And whereas this song that I heard for

Steve:

the. And I also have to be completely fair and

Steve:

say it is rare for a song, the first time

Steve:

I hear it, for me to be like, that's, that's

Steve:

something I love. But, yeah, no shade

Steve:

towards Ariana Grandpa. And the video

Steve:

was fun. Yeah, I had a lot of

Steve:

fun with that video.

Leif:

You know, after listening to the Monica brandy one

Leif:

again, I was like, yeah, that is a thick beat.

Leif:

And so I had to go down a little rabbit hole.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

So it was actually produced by Dallas

Leif:

Austin, who has worked with, who's who

Leif:

of the music business. Yeah. Lionel Richie,

Leif:

Madonna, MJ,

Leif:

TLC, Duran Durang, West Stefani,

Leif:

Pink, George Clint and George

Leif:

Michael.

Steve:

Yeah, yeah.

Leif:

So admit many others. So,

Leif:

yeah, he did what he was doing.

Steve:

It's, it's also interesting that

Steve:

this video was, came

Steve:

out right before we are

Steve:

shooting this particular episode because

Steve:

it did have all of the Batman,

Steve:

themed.

Steve:

You know, no Batman, but it was a

Steve:

very Gotham themed. Yeah.

Leif:

So definitely a catwoman.

Steve:

Yeah, definitely a catwoman.

Leif:

Was Penn playing

Leif:

Christopher Walken's character from,

Leif:

bat Mary terence.

Steve:

Oh, I mean, I just.

Steve:

Oh, maybe I was seeing it more

Steve:

as the more recent, like.

Steve:

Yeah, but maybe.

Leif:

Maybe I kind of felt he was

Leif:

channeling that kind of character.

Steve:

I see it now that you mention it.

Leif:

So enough, about Ariana Grande,

Leif:

the lovely woman she is. Happy 30th

Leif:

birthday. But we are here to talk about Gossip

Leif:

Girl, and we're.

Steve:

Indeed.

Leif:

Yeah, we're going to talk about season two, episode three. Yeah, the

Leif:

Dark Knight.

Steve:

The Dark Knight. A reference I definitely

Steve:

get.

Leif:

it's the Christopher Nolan's Batman movie, the second in his trilogy.

Steve:

Yeah, yeah. And also just, you

Steve:

know, at which this would have been around that time,

Steve:

but also the dark knight just being a

Steve:

Batman reference. anyway, I have

Steve:

a tattoo of Gotham.

Leif:

The original air date was September 15,

Leif:

2008, and the

Leif:

tv.com episode description reads,

Leif:

serena and Dan are trapped in an elevator during

Leif:

citywide blackouthenne making them work out their

Leif:

differences. Marcus and Blair have problems of

Leif:

their own, which is passion. While Chuck problem is

Leif:

having no passion with women other than Blair.

Leif:

Nate struggles with his feelings for Vanessa and Katherine.

Steve:

Yeah, I don't think he

Steve:

really does, but I don't think it's that he's struggling

Steve:

with his feelings. I think he's

Steve:

struggling with a situation.

Leif:

As, the episode was written by John

Leif:

Stevens. This is his first episode of Gossip

Leif:

Girl. Also, has written for Gilmore

Leif:

Girls, the OC, Gotham, and

Leif:

Pennyworth.

Steve:

Yeah. I actually have been meaning to watch Pennyworth

Steve:

just because I like the concept of it.

Leif:

Yeah.

Steve:

Have, you seen it?

Leif:

No. Janice Cook is back. She

Leif:

previously directed all about my brother in season one, which

Leif:

we both gave a b minus.

Steve:

Yeah, that was. That was when Georgina

Steve:

outed Eric.

Leif:

Right. And Ashere and all

Leif:

that.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

Jenny's party.

Steve:

Yeah. Not a terrible episode, but also

Steve:

not. Yeah, I mean, b minus episode.

Leif:

I thought this was definitely a big improvement from the last

Leif:

few weeks.

Steve:

Yes. Oh, yeah. From the m. From the last

Steve:

two weeks. Yes. Over season one. No, but,

Steve:

like.

Leif:

Yeah, this. This episode, I think,

Leif:

could have fit just as well.

Leif:

Many episodes in season one.

Steve:

Yeah. Yeah. I I. Like, I thought this was the first

Steve:

one that felt like they were.

Steve:

It felt like they were trying again.

Leif:

So I was thinking about it today after I rewatched

Leif:

it in season one of the

Leif:

OC. They had this whole mini season

Leif:

before, like. Cause they. They ran seven episodes

Leif:

in this during the summer, right?

Steve:

Yes.

Leif:

And then. And then they came. They came back, like, two, like a month and a

Leif:

half later.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

For the rest of the season.

Leif:

And that was. It was like a whole mini arc before they got to school.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

And it's like, a lot happened in that arc.

Steve:

I remember this. I remember.

Leif:

I kind of feel like they're trying to recreate that with the

Leif:

Hamptons, but it was just too short. It was only two

Leif:

episodes. So, like, you had dance Serena get

Leif:

together and break up, like.

Steve:

Right.

Leif:

Like, there's, like, all these mini arcs that.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

Over two episodes.

Steve:

Yeah. And. Yeah.

Leif:

It just didn't work right.

Steve:

Yes.

Leif:

And now they're back to the city, and I.

Leif:

Yeah, I will talk about the grade when we get there, but, yeah, I definitely thought

Leif:

this episode was better.

Steve:

I agree that I liked this episode.

Leif:

Yeah. The heat wave was funny. You know, those days in the city

Leif:

are all those.

Steve:

Oh, yeah.

Leif:

The dog days of summer.

Steve:

The makeup. Kudos to the makeup department.

Steve:

And maybe they were just out in the city sweating it up

Steve:

like that. But the way that they had, like,

Steve:

that, that you. You looked at them, and it's

Steve:

like they were glistening. Like they were out

Steve:

in this city in the summer.

Steve:

Yeah. I really thought.

Leif:

I thought it was always in specific

Leif:

areas that they were glistening. I

Leif:

mean, sweat gathers, and it was

Leif:

cheeks and boobs. And I thought to

Leif:

myself, someone had the job that week of making

Leif:

sure Serena's tits were always glistening.

Steve:

the. Where I really noticed at first, though, was

Steve:

Dan's neck was the back of his neck.

Steve:

But the. The close ups were definitely,

Steve:

like. I mean, you know, moisture

Steve:

gathers in

Steve:

crevices. Right. That's the most.

Steve:

That's the most disgusting thing I've said on this show, I think,

Steve:

but, yeah.

Leif:

Like, because, you know, shooting for an episode usually lasts,

Leif:

like, ten days or so.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

So someone for those ten days had the job of

Leif:

making sure that she was glistening. Jessica and Blake were

Leif:

glistening at all times.

Steve:

Yeah. the other time I noticed it, though,

Steve:

was Blair. When she comes in

Steve:

from outside and she's trying to. She's trying to hit

Steve:

that, and I also noticed

Steve:

it. I just really thought that stood out to

Steve:

me. Yeah. I felt the heat in that

Steve:

episode.

Leif:

So moving into act one

Leif:

in the last hazy days of summer, a few simple

Leif:

tips to beat the heat. One, drink plenty

Leif:

of fluids. Two, stay out of the sun.

Leif:

Three, limit all physical activity.

Leif:

That is, within reason. Gossip girl

Leif:

narrates a montage. Chuck is drinking

Leif:

alone, Jenny is running errands, and Dan and

Leif:

Serena are making out.

Steve:

Yep. Yeah. I mean, that sums it

Steve:

up.

Leif:

Blair is trying to get busy with Marcus, but the

Leif:

old limey doesn't have what it takes to come out

Leif:

and.

Steve:

Play Robin right off the bat

Steve:

with this one to end it with the forehead

Steve:

kiss. Like, to have this really sweet, like, you know, you're

Steve:

more to me than that, and I don't want to rush things, and I want to think

Steve:

of you as this delicate flower, which also is kind of,

Steve:

but like, to go through all of that, but then

Steve:

to end it with the creepy forehead kiss

Steve:

from this, you know, 32 year

Steve:

old. Yeah.

Leif:

We see Jenny struggling under all the stuff she is

Leif:

carrying while talking on the phone with Vanessa. They

Leif:

are discussing whether Vanessa should call Nate or not.

Steve:

I love Jenny's advice here. I love

Steve:

how she's just like, will it. Will it

Steve:

sound creepy?

Leif:

Yeah.

Steve:

Yeah, it will. It will you. Yes.

Steve:

But that's what you do. Like, you're. You're fucking Vanessa.

Steve:

Go be Vanessa and stop being this. And I

Steve:

thought that was great.

Leif:

Now Katherine is dressing Nate like he is her son.

Leif:

Last week, I wondered whether this relationship getting worse.

Leif:

This week's writer, John Stevens, says, hold my beer.

Steve:

Hold his fucking beer.

Steve:

Dressing him up like a, boy

Steve:

toy. Like a, fucking head doll.

Leif:

So gross.

Steve:

Oh, my God. And, yeah.

Steve:

Oh, my. And. And it's funny because, like, when I mentioned that to

Steve:

Robin, her first response was like, oh, well, you

Steve:

know, well, she's dressing him the way that she wants him to

Steve:

look for, like, the man she wants. But I was

Steve:

also like, but she's taking him shopping the

Steve:

way a, mom takes their kids shopping for the first

Steve:

day of school to do it. Like, it was

Steve:

so gross. Weird.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

Nate gets a call from Vanessa and makes plans to hang

Leif:

out with her. Sure this will go great.

Steve:

Yeah, we've. We've seen Nate lie

Steve:

before and kind of

Steve:

drown in his lies before,

Steve:

and this time he turns around. Like,

Steve:

you can tell. It's like that disdain that he actually has

Steve:

is building for Catherine or already has, where he just turns like, oh,

Steve:

it's my mom. Doesn't blink an eye,

Steve:

doesn't have any hesitation, and

Steve:

just lies straight out and

Steve:

is just cool with it.

Leif:

And, well, in this case, I don't blame him.

Steve:

No, not at all. Not at all. It's just

Steve:

that he never thinks through his lies. And this

Steve:

one was like he didn't need to, but, like,

Steve:

no hesitation.

Leif:

Dan and Serena are walking down the street and discussing

Leif:

announcing their relationship status. However, it looks

Leif:

like their secret is going to get out as a random

Leif:

person snaps a photo of the pair kissing on the

Leif:

sidewalk.

Steve:

Yeah, I'll start now by saying

Steve:

that this whole Dan and

Steve:

Serena episode annoyed the

Steve:

shit out of me. Like. Like, all of it.

Steve:

And. And it started here, where it's

Steve:

like, Serena lives in the fucking spotlight.

Steve:

She. She has. The reason you know

Steve:

her is because you saw her at a party and

Steve:

recognized her out of everybody else because she's always in the

Steve:

fucking spotlight. And you've been watching her in the spotlight

Steve:

creepily for a year.

Leif:

That was before Gossip Girl.

Steve:

Yeah. I I'm. But I'm saying.

Leif:

Well, but that was before the entity of Gossip

Leif:

Girl.

Steve:

When was the entity of Gossip girl?

Leif:

Pretty soon after that.

Steve:

Interesting. But my point still being that,

Steve:

like, prior to this relationship,

Steve:

Serena had lived a very public life.

Steve:

Yeah. And. And that's how he knew

Steve:

so much about her to begin with. Like, he had

Steve:

doeb because.

Leif:

But apparently he did not know anything about her.

Steve:

Yeah. I guess it's the

Steve:

whole thing with.

Leif:

The relationship is he put her on a pedestal, and then

Leif:

once when he got to actually know her, he realized

Leif:

he really.

Steve:

She was a human fucking be.

Leif:

Yeah.

Steve:

And. And a human being that is. That. That

Steve:

has mean, you know,

Steve:

means well beyond

Steve:

his. And. Yeah, I

Steve:

was with the one girl.

Leif:

Another week, and we get another cameo. This time it's

Leif:

former America's Next Top model contestant and

Leif:

Mark Lee. Chuck is walking her out of the

Leif:

penthouse and promises to call her later when he's feeling

Leif:

better. Chuck gets the blast about DNS

Leif:

kissing.

Steve:

But it's like, why is Chuck irritated by this? Like, what?

Steve:

What? Chuck seems irritated by the.

Steve:

By the gossip girl blast, but, like, what stake do

Steve:

you have in dan and Serena?

Leif:

Oh, he just doesn't like Dan.

Steve:

Yeah, but, like, it was. I.

Steve:

Like, I felt like the jenny and blair reactions

Steve:

made more sense. I thought Chuck. It's like, what does Chuck

Steve:

care? Nate. I think nate could have cared, but

Steve:

he.

Leif:

Well, he just cares about serena, and he thinks that Dan's bad

Leif:

for. Yeah,

Leif:

that's what the show's trying to tell you, is chuck cares

Leif:

about serena as a sister, and he thinks this is the

Leif:

wrong decision.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

Which it is.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

As we find out.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

Maybe, that's what the show is trying

Leif:

to.

Steve:

I know. Yeah. I'm just.

Leif:

Blair also gets the blast and is.

Steve:

Disgusted, and that made sense to me,

Steve:

especially when she explains herself later

Steve:

on. I love the best friend. Tough love later

Steve:

on.

Leif:

Yeah. She had good advice.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

Jay runs back into the loft to hug and congratulate

Leif:

Dan. Rufus asks Dan if he worked out his issues

Leif:

with Serena yet, and Dan.

Steve:

Lies that he has, and Rufus seems

Steve:

to see through that, too. Yeah, Rufus can tell.

Steve:

Like, oh, yeah, great son.

Leif:

yeah, he does his son, likes to avoid those conversations.

Leif:

Vanessa and Nate are being cute walking down the

Leif:

street. However, Catherine is spying from her limo.

Steve:

Yeah, venates. they're cute.

Steve:

I just coined that one. I don't know if someone else did.

Steve:

One eight, sir.

Steve:

Yeah, I think.

Leif:

I think their official ship name is Natesa.

Steve:

Natesa.

Leif:

Let's see.

Steve:

See, like. But, like, she is

Steve:

already, like, bossy of his time. And, like,

Steve:

you know, like, oh, you have family stuff again.

Steve:

It's like, I do have family stuff.

Leif:

This. This is, like, now Lex Luthor status, though.

Steve:

Yeah, yeah.

Leif:

Hailing in the limo.

Steve:

Yeah, yeah. Jesus Christ.

Leif:

Blair and serena, are prepping for the party. They

Leif:

discuss eleanor meeting Marcus for the first time.

Leif:

Serena tries to get blair to ask serena about

Leif:

serena and dan getting back together. Blair finally

Leif:

relents and asks serena the same question. Ruth as dan,

Leif:

serena is a little more honest.

Steve:

Yeah, a ah.

Leif:

Little more.

Steve:

Yeah. And like I said, blair's response.

Steve:

Okay, you guys talk through all of your stuff, and if you're

Steve:

still happy, then I will be happy for

Steve:

you. And fair.

Leif:

Yeah. Blair gets a call from katherine asking

Leif:

about who nate was with. These. These

Leif:

ladies are scheming.

Steve:

She lives in

Steve:

brooklyn. The way

Steve:

she says, that is so

Steve:

great.

Leif:

Nate comes over to the penthouse to. And finds

Leif:

Chuck in a robe, smoking a joint. Nate

Leif:

changed his mind about Chuck's money, but it's too late. Chuck

Leif:

has reinvested. Chuck once again

Leif:

mentions some kind of ailment. Whatever it is,

Leif:

japanese takeout seems to be the cure.

Steve:

Yeah, I, called right then and

Steve:

there. I was like, chuck can't get enough.

Steve:

I like when he. Yeah, like,

Steve:

Chuck can't get it up.

Leif:

Oh. Back at

Leif:

the atelier, Jenny is busting her butt trying to get

Leif:

ahead in the fashion world. Jenny notices something off

Leif:

about the dress she is fitting to the model, but Laurel

Leif:

just slaps her down. Lie away, little

Leif:

J. Lie away?

Steve:

Yeah, right here. This scene. You

Steve:

see the plotline of this

Steve:

play out? You know, it. It is

Steve:

a very obvious take. I end up

Steve:

liking it a lot.

Leif:

Anyway, cliches are cliche for a reason.

Steve:

Yeah, well, I was having this conversation earlier.

Steve:

They're familiar, and they feel good.

Steve:

And the. But, like, Laurel

Steve:

is such an asshole.

Steve:

Yeah, like, all the time. And I was like, jenny,

Steve:

like, lil J, you chose this.

Steve:

This was your decision. You were like, oh, I could

Steve:

go work for the cameo from

Steve:

two weeks ago, but no, I'm going to choose to work

Steve:

under these conditions instead. And Laurel

Steve:

didn't change at all. She's like, oh,

Steve:

thank you for staying. Now know your fucking place.

Leif:

Dan and Serena are walking in the park, but Serena gets a

Leif:

call. Dan is taken to task by a trio of middle

Leif:

school girls dressed in PW uniforms.

Leif:

This scene was Joshua absolutely reading the

Leif:

message boards and turning those posts into dialogue on the

Leif:

show, and Dan and Serena are still avoiding the real

Leif:

conversation.

Steve:

I loved it. I absolutely.

Steve:

I loved it. I loved these little junior

Steve:

Upper east siders. And honestly, if Josh

Steve:

Schwartz wants to throw in the forum

Steve:

comments into his show

Steve:

regularly by throwing those girls

Steve:

in, I am here for it. I

Steve:

am totally here for it. I loved

Steve:

it.

Leif:

It was.

Steve:

I was also with. When they're like, we're

Steve:

all on your side, it's, like, not me. And I

Steve:

was like, yeah, little girl. Cause, like, he's a

Steve:

fucking dumbass.

Leif:

But it's kind of interesting. Who was on his side?

Steve:

The little girl that looked like. That looked like the

Steve:

blair? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Was she? I

Steve:

thought she had, like, blue eyes, but she had the headband.

Leif:

Yeah, she had the head.

Steve:

She had the headband. Yep. I've come to

Steve:

realize the headband. The

Steve:

significance of the headband now.

Leif:

That's why I said they were there. BW uniforms.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

Yeah, the Blair waldroph uniform. Nate and

Leif:

Vanessa are about to kiss, but are interrupted by multiple texts from

Leif:

Katherine. Blair walks in flowers and

Leif:

sunshine. However, Nate and Vanessa see through Blair

Leif:

immediately. When Vanessa walks away, Blair easily

Leif:

maneuvers Nate into bringing Vanessa to the party. Classic

Leif:

divide and conquer. Nathan, you are

Leif:

the weakest leak.

Steve:

It was. I loved this scene. I

Steve:

loved how they were both like, wait, you came down here

Steve:

to invite me to a party? Like, how they both saw through it,

Steve:

but I loved how when Vanessa walks away and

Steve:

Nate, And they start, like, whisper

Steve:

arguing, and he's like, and what? Your plan is to

Steve:

distract me with Vanessa? Yes. Well, that just

Steve:

seems really nice for one of your plans. Hey,

Steve:

let's. What is she? And she says, don't be offensive.

Steve:

As far as your plans go, it's kind of nice.

Steve:

Don't be offensive.

Leif:

Yeah, that's pretty good. I waited to get it. look at a little shot

Leif:

of vitamin water.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

Blair calls Katherine to let her know that the plan

Leif:

is on, but her bedroom floor is off limits.

Leif:

Blair, does that mean she's free to fucking your bed?

Steve:

Yeah. And Blair, would it. Would it.

Leif:

Why would you say my. My room is off limits?

Steve:

Yeah. Yeah. Why is it just the floor?

Steve:

You also have, like, a couch in there. Yeah, I'm pretty

Steve:

sure that stuff started.

Leif:

Yeah.

Steve:

Which I would personally. I'd rather them fuck on

Steve:

my floor.

Leif:

Yeah.

Steve:

Any other place in my room. And. Yeah,

Steve:

and it was also, like, Blair, what did you do? Like,

Steve:

what? Like, now Nate is the

Steve:

casualty and.

Leif:

Like, that Larry doesn't care.

Steve:

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Steve:

Sometimes she has an inkling of who's gonna be

Steve:

a casualty. Right. Like, she. She cared when

Steve:

Eric was the. Was the accidental casualt.

Leif:

He's a civilian.

Steve:

Right. Well, yeah. All right,

Steve:

facts. Fair. Fair.

Leif:

Nate's in the game.

Steve:

Yeah, he is. I mean, I can't argue that.

Leif:

And, that is the end of the first act. We move into act

Leif:

two. Serena rise back at the penthouse to

Leif:

see the flight attendant having. Leaving while

Leif:

Chuck pours himself a glass of whiskey,

Leif:

neat. Chuck admits that he is having a problem in

Leif:

the bedroom. Chuck glass used Blair as

Leif:

sexual drain out.

Steve:

he's tried everything from the erotic to the

Steve:

pharmaceutical. Yeah.

Leif:

And he doesn't have a romantic bone in his body.

Leif:

Especially that one.

Steve:

Yeah, especially that one. And,

Steve:

man, Chuck, you're so fucking

Steve:

gross. Like, you're so gross.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

So, yeah, we. We get the. The best and the worst of

Leif:

Chuck in this episode.

Steve:

Yeah, we really do.

Leif:

You get the super quippy, hilarious line

Leif:

one liners, but then you also get the creepy Batman

Leif:

rapist.

Steve:

Yeah, yeah, we get, like, the fucking.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

Eleanor walks into the atelier just as

Leif:

Jenny was questioning Eleanor's design. didn't see that one

Leif:

coming. Jenny tries to apologize, but it's too

Leif:

late. Eleanor, already grumpy from her

Leif:

transatlantic flight, promptly fires

Leif:

Jenny.

Steve:

I love Margaret Collins in this whole

Steve:

episode. She is.

Leif:

And I love all their seas together.

Steve:

Yeah, I want more of that. They are

Steve:

two powerhouses just really

Steve:

acting up a storm together. They're

Steve:

amazing.

Leif:

I love that we got some more layers to Ella this

Leif:

episode. She opened up the jetty in a way we haven't seen

Leif:

before.

Steve:

Yeah, and that scene where it's like

Steve:

this intern is shitting on my stuff,

Steve:

like that.

Leif:

Biggest fear.

Steve:

Yeah, exactly. And like, to fire her. She's

Steve:

completely in her right, and she acted like a. Like

Steve:

a strong boss. And when she

Steve:

comes in and she fires her and she even says, I'll give

Steve:

you the letter of recommendation, you still get the

Steve:

letter of recommendation from me. Your job here is

Steve:

done.

Leif:

Yeah.

Steve:

Like, she.

Leif:

People around here I can trust.

Steve:

Yeah. I had so much respect for

Steve:

her in that scene as a

Steve:

boss. She showed me, like,

Steve:

CEO boss, you know?

Steve:

And whereas Laurel has just

Steve:

shown, like, just asshole.

Steve:

Yeah. Just. Just. I'm going to stomp you in the dirt, and

Steve:

I'm going to just bully you. Whereas,

Steve:

like, Margaret Collins was more

Steve:

brutal on Jenny by firing

Steve:

her but just didn't do it with any kind

Steve:

of anything other than just business.

Leif:

There's no vindictiveness, like, with Laurel.

Steve:

Yeah, it wasn't, Yeah, I loved it.

Steve:

Yeah, I thought she just. She sold me on that.

Leif:

Nate runs it to Marcus. Out on the streets. Nate discovers

Leif:

that Catherine is coming. Nate quickly leaves a

Leif:

voicemail for Vanessa. I'd inviting her to.

Steve:

Goddamn it, Nate. Oh,

Steve:

I promise I won't do this thing. And then he does it, and it's

Steve:

like. And Vanessa's response when

Steve:

she's talking to Rufus in the next scene where she says,

Steve:

like, I can handle this. Like, I can take it. Like,

Steve:

vanessa's seen shit. Like, Vanessa knows

Steve:

and shit.

Leif:

Vanessa gets the voice valve just in time for Rufus to enter the

Leif:

lock with an air conditioner. Vanessa opens up to Rufus,

Leif:

battle frauds with Rufus, or, sorry, with Nate.

Leif:

Dan walks in on Vanessa, says

Leif:

she will meet him at the party. So

Leif:

more weird scenes with, Rufus and Vanessa.

Steve:

Yeah. Yeah.

Leif:

I was really worried he was gonna say, vanessa is

Leif:

gonna be my date. We could double date

Leif:

Dan.

Steve:

Yeah. Yeah. yeah, I'll go with Vanessa.

Steve:

Yeah. Yeah.

Leif:

And the woman that he did end up dating looked a

Leif:

little like Vanessa.

Steve:

A little bit. I can see it. I

Steve:

did like his advice to her, though, when he's, like, when

Steve:

she. When he said, well, you can do x, y, and z, and she's like, that

Steve:

is the mature, grown up response.

Steve:

Well, if you want to do the immature thing, you can just

Steve:

pretend you never got that message and show up anyway.

Steve:

And it was like, I liked

Steve:

it. Yeah.

Leif:

We have arrived at the party of the week.

Leif:

All the principals are arriving. Chuck and Blair trade

Leif:

barbs. Chuck goes full into full

Leif:

Batman mode and starts grinding on Blair right

Leif:

in the middle of the party.

Steve:

Subtle.

Leif:

So creepy.

Steve:

Like, it's so creepy, but also, like,

Steve:

you're. She's just, like, letting this happen.

Steve:

Yeah. And, like, letting him, like,

Steve:

whisper things into her ear that are just

Steve:

so erotic. And

Steve:

it's like. Like, guys,

Steve:

you're, like, at the middle of a fucking party you're throwing.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

Dan picks up Serena at the pass, but things seem off

Leif:

between these two lovebirds.

Steve:

Yeah. They clearly

Steve:

just have nothing left to talk about other than their

Steve:

issues, which they're avoiding talking about.

Leif:

Back at the party, Nate confronts Blair, who

Leif:

doesn't deny helping Catherine to set him and Vanessa

Leif:

up.

Steve:

I don't like sharing my toys,

Steve:

especially when I've paid for

Steve:

them.

Steve:

She is so disgusting.

Steve:

Yeah. oh.

Leif:

So bad.

Steve:

Oh, my God.

Leif:

Can this story end?

Steve:

Please, like. And, like, I don't even care if she

Steve:

doesn't go to jail. I would love for her to just end it, just

Steve:

like, with her losing fucking everything. Like, I feel like

Steve:

that, but I feel like it's gonna end with her just going

Steve:

away and, probably coming back at some

Steve:

point.

Leif:

Then Katherine comes and gets way too handsy

Leif:

with Nate. He threatens to break up with her

Leif:

and he her. And Katherine instantly

Leif:

plays the victim and starts apologizing. She is just

Leif:

pulling right from the abusers handbook now.

Leif:

Vanessa walks in and sees Dane, Catherine holding hands.

Leif:

And then Howard goes out and all of manhattan.

Steve:

Yeah, she's so gross. Vanessa sees it

Steve:

and he's like, fuck. But, like, she's so

Steve:

gross. She's so, like, the whole,

Steve:

like, trying to turn the tables and making it Nate's

Steve:

fault and like, oh, it was just.

Leif:

We move into act three. Blair

Leif:

brings out the candles and tells everyone to remain

Leif:

calm.

Steve:

No one goes outside in a blackout.

Steve:

Well, at which, actually, Robin was like, what? No one can go out? And I

Steve:

was like, yeah, but it's a New York blackout. Like, there's no street

Steve:

light.

Leif:

Yeah, it'd be scary.

Steve:

It would be pitch fucking black

Steve:

out there. Except for headlights. Headlights would be the only thing

Steve:

you would see. That sounds terrifying. Yeah.

Steve:

I mean, maybe not in the Upper east side as much.

Leif:

Nate pulls Vanessa aside and explains what's.

Steve:

Been going on when Vanessa

Steve:

stops and just says, tell me

Steve:

everything.

Steve:

Vanessa, just, in my

Steve:

opinion, like, she just skyrocketed

Steve:

for me. Like, that she

Steve:

is as much as she, like, she's such an

Steve:

asshole on so many occasions. She really is the

Steve:

person who I feel like is the

Steve:

most understanding of people

Steve:

go through shit.

Leif:

And Vanessa should be a good

Leif:

character.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

But they just never give her a reason to exist.

Steve:

Right? Yeah. And. And I

Steve:

really felt that,

Steve:

like, my heart just for

Steve:

Vanessa just. It was the first time that I

Steve:

was really like, wow. Like, wowed

Steve:

by her.

Leif:

Yeah.

Steve:

Just to stop and be like, okay,

Steve:

this is super fucked up.

Steve:

Tell me. And like, wow, that's.

Steve:

That is a good person.

Leif:

Katherine confronts Blair about her lack of

Leif:

sex life with Marcus and how it will always be that

Leif:

way.

Steve:

Oh, why do you know this?

Steve:

Why do you know about his sex life?

Leif:

Yeah. Well, I mean, presumably because the dad's the

Leif:

same way.

Steve:

Maybe, but, like.

Steve:

But why are you talking about it? Why are

Steve:

you bringing. Why is.

Steve:

Ew. Yeah.

Leif:

Where are they going with this?

Steve:

Yeah, you're talking to a

Steve:

teenager. Yeah. Hey, you know, you're dating my

Steve:

son, but I bet he doesn't plow you, does

Steve:

he? Like, that's so fucked

Steve:

up.

Steve:

No boundaries.

Leif:

Oh, yeah, she. I mean, she. She wants to pretend she's still a teenager.

Steve:

She does. She really does.

Leif:

She's treating Blair like an equal.

Steve:

Yeah, one. One last hurrah. Before the book,

Steve:

before the surgery.

Leif:

Dad and Serena are stuck in an elevator. Dan

Leif:

uses the emergency phone and is pretty much told to just

Leif:

hang tight. Serena points out that he should have

Leif:

mentioned her name. They argue momentarily before

Leif:

Dan gives in and calls. And of course, now someone

Leif:

is coming right away.

Steve:

She was right. Because. Because she, for

Steve:

one. Okay, Daniel,

Steve:

she lives in the building like she's a tenant.

Steve:

They know her like, so even aside from

Steve:

the whole, like, the world stops for Serena Vanderwitson,

Steve:

which. Yeah, you know what? It fucking does. And you

Steve:

could love that about her. You could. You could

Steve:

love that about her, but instead, you just let it bother you.

Steve:

Fuck off, Dan. Fuck off.

Leif:

it does bother pretty much everyone,

Leif:

and that's. That's where Blair big

Leif:

problem, too.

Steve:

Yeah, but Serena doesn't

Steve:

necessarily ask for it. Right.

Steve:

I feel like Serena just goes about her life doing

Steve:

Surina.

Leif:

I'm not blaming, sir.

Steve:

Yeah, no, no, I. And I. But I'm saying, like, the

Steve:

people that do have a problem with it, and

Steve:

Blair. Blair doesn't like it because, of course, there

Steve:

is the whole. Blair's always working to be

Steve:

what Serena is naturally.

Leif:

Yeah.

Steve:

Whereas. And I guess Dan kind of is, too.

Steve:

But at least Blair is able to see

Steve:

through that and remain best

Steve:

friends with her, you know, most of the time.

Steve:

Most of the time?

Leif:

Some of the time?

Leif:

About, a third of the time, sure.

Steve:

But I mean, like you said from the start, like, they are the core

Steve:

friendship. You know, they are the core ship.

Leif:

They were in season one. It's that. It's now the Chuck and

Leif:

Blair show.

Steve:

Oh, okay. I thought that was an

Steve:

ongoing thing.

Leif:

It should have been.

Steve:

Yeah, agreed.

Leif:

Jenny, broken and defeated, is about to leave her job for

Leif:

the last time and presumably walk back to

Leif:

Brooklyn in the middle of a blackout. However, even

Leif:

Eleanor isn't that cruel and tells Jenny to stay until the

Leif:

blackout is over. Oh, and as long as you're here, make yourself

Leif:

useful.

Steve:

Yeah. and again, like, every scene

Steve:

with.

Leif:

The two great binding, this. Yeah, this is where, you know,

Leif:

they. She reveals, you know, their

Leif:

insecurities to Jenny, and then Jenny, you know, comes back, you

Leif:

know, gives her a little pep talk.

Steve:

What was that? This one? Yeah.

Steve:

and and they just. They have great

Steve:

chemistry together. They both are just

Steve:

really vulnerable and

Steve:

very, you know,

Steve:

just. Just the communication is so

Steve:

good, and just. They just play off each other so well. I loved

Steve:

it.

Leif:

Back to Nate and Vanessa. Nate is begging her to

Leif:

save him from his to catch a predator scenario gone

Leif:

wrong. She tells him he needs to do it himself,

Leif:

but she will be here when he gets back.

Steve:

again, Vanessa was great in this. Vanessa was just

Steve:

understanding and loving and

Steve:

caring and was just a very

Steve:

empathetic person in this

Steve:

episode. And I loved it.

Leif:

Blair attempts to seduce Marcus. She tells him

Leif:

to meet in her bedroom, but chuck

Leif:

overhears.

Steve:

Yeah. And so then we have the revenge of the nerds

Steve:

setup, which. Great. Chuck

Steve:

back. We're. We're inching back

Steve:

to episode one. Chuck.

Leif:

Yeah. not good. Even though flair clearly knew

Leif:

who it was.

Steve:

Yeah. Yeah.

Leif:

Back from commercial. We get a run in between Vanessa

Leif:

and Catherine. Yes, Catherine. We do try to

Leif:

forgive children when they're victims of sex crimes.

Steve:

She's so fucking dumb. She is so

Steve:

dumb.

Leif:

Yes, we forgive them.

Steve:

Yeah. Oh, you just. You're just okay with

Steve:

him paying or being paid by me

Steve:

for sex so he can save his family?

Steve:

You're okay with that?

Leif:

What is wrong with this lady?

Steve:

Ugh.

Leif:

No.

Steve:

one told her no as a kid.

Leif:

Blair is waiting in her room when Chuck enters and

Leif:

imitates Marcus Saxon telling Blair to blow out her

Leif:

candle. Chuck and Blair begin to get

Leif:

steamy in the dark.

Steve:

The brit doing the

Steve:

american doing the brit. My one note is

Steve:

it must have been really difficult for him to do a

Steve:

shitty british accent to try to sound

Steve:

like Marcus. Yeah. My other thing about this,

Steve:

and this is a, buffy thing, I went to a

Steve:

panel, for. At a. At a comic book

Steve:

convention years ago, and there was a buffy panel, and James

Steve:

Marsters.

Leif:

You didn't realize he was american, did you?

Steve:

No, I did. I did know. So Spike was

Steve:

on this panel, and I got in line, and I

Steve:

said one of my favorite Buffy

Steve:

moments was when the american guy was

Steve:

pretending to be, who was acting as a british

Steve:

guy pretending to be an american guy. And he's

Steve:

like, I'm a friend of Xander.

Steve:

I love that scene so much. And I got to

Steve:

actually tell him that to his face.

Steve:

I also asked Amber Benson what it was like to have her name

Steve:

on the credits on her last episode,

Steve:

but I've always wondered. That is such

Steve:

a. Like, I've always been like, what a dick move of

Steve:

Joss Whedon to, like, not give her an

Steve:

opening credit until.

Leif:

Your shirt at the atelier Eleanor is

Leif:

really opening up with Jenny about her

Leif:

insecurities. Jenny returns the favor by opening up to the

Leif:

Eleanor. She talks about how one of Eleanor's dresses

Leif:

inspired Jenny to take up fashion in the first place.

Steve:

Yeah. And, yeah, this was the one that I was thinking of where. Where

Steve:

they really. Where she. Where she lays that

Steve:

out. That, like, And she's like, you don't have to, like,

Steve:

tell me these things. She's like, no, like, you're. You're the reason I'm

Steve:

here. Yeah. Like, which also,

Steve:

if you think about it, really explains

Steve:

we didn't know that beforehand. And it really gives a lot of

Steve:

background as to why she turned down,

Steve:

what was her name in the other episode?

Leif:

Tinsley Mortimer.

Steve:

Tinsley Mortimer. Why she turned down Tinsley

Steve:

Mortimer's internship. Yeah.

Leif:

In the elevator, things are heating up with Dan, but not

Leif:

in the sexy way. Like, last week, they finally admit

Leif:

that they forgive each other for their sins, but Dan's issues are

Leif:

going to prevent them from working as a couple.

Steve:

They had the time to sit and

Steve:

discuss. Yeah.

Leif:

They were forced to finally, finally work it out.

Steve:

Yeah. And they. And that was my thing is

Steve:

that, like, for one, I felt like the catalyst was kind

Steve:

of dumb. Like, the. Tell the people

Steve:

that the name of the person in the

Steve:

elevator because she lives there, but, like, they could

Steve:

have worked it out and they decided to

Steve:

just not talk and just,

Steve:

like, ignore it. And that bothered me because there was.

Leif:

That period of they both knew is not

Leif:

right.

Steve:

And that's why.

Leif:

That's why they didn't want to talk.

Steve:

Yeah. I don't know. I feel like there was.

Steve:

I feel. I feel like if Dan wasn't such a pretentious

Steve:

dick, there was anything.

Leif:

They're both who they are, so it's just, they are not right at this.

Leif:

At least at this time.

Steve:

Yeah, I get that. But also, like, I think Dan's an idiot.

Leif:

Oh, yeah, he's definitely an idiot. He's

Leif:

judgmental.

Steve:

Yeah. If Dan could get over his shit, like you

Steve:

said in. In. In your.

Steve:

In your scene by scene, like, if Dan could get

Steve:

over his shit, then they could work

Steve:

it out.

Leif:

Yeah.

Steve:

It's Dan just being too wrapped up

Steve:

in his own judgmental shit.

Leif:

Nate is looking for Vanessa, but finds Katherine

Leif:

instead. The lights come back on and it

Leif:

looks like Nate is still trapped.

Steve:

Yeah. I don't think I even had a note for this

Steve:

because they just. Yeah, yeah.

Leif:

Just end the story already, please.

Leif:

Marcus enters players river to fight. Find, her getting hot

Leif:

and heavy with Chucky boy.

Steve:

I mean, she looks guilty. Yeah.

Steve:

And it also makes me realize Chuck doesn't get punched

Steve:

enough.

Leif:

Yeah, he should get punched more.

Steve:

Yeah, like. Like, it should be, like, an episode

Steve:

activity, like the weekly punching of Chuck,

Steve:

but. But, it was nice to see him get punched.

Leif:

Although Marcus looked like deranged.

Steve:

Marcus look like what?

Leif:

You look deranged.

Steve:

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, I I believe that

Steve:

that was because the guy playing Marcus is not

Steve:

a very good actor. Yeah, but that.

Steve:

That could be me.

Leif:

But, yeah, he looked, like, super sweaty, and his eyes were, like, all

Leif:

sucking in and, like.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

Just looking sickly almost.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

So that is the end of act three. We move into the epilogue.

Leif:

Blair tells Marcus that she thought Chuck was

Leif:

him. Chuck claims Blair knew exactly who

Leif:

it was. And then Marcus steps in and punches

Leif:

Chuck and storms out.

Steve:

Well, my bad. That's where you get punched.

Steve:

Yeah, but it doesn't get punched enough.

Leif:

Blair follows after him, and Marcus demands

Leif:

the truth in front of all the guests. Blair admits that

Leif:

she did know his chuck, that it was Marcus just wasn't

Leif:

making shit happen. Marcus is

Leif:

having his manhunt challenge immediately rises to the bait

Leif:

and plants a big, fat smooch on Blair.

Leif:

Chuck is forced to look on in defeat.

Steve:

So, I mean, it's another Chuck scheme

Steve:

backfiring. Yeah, because it only pushed

Steve:

them closer together. But also, like, couple of

Steve:

things that just. First of all, the fact that Blair

Steve:

was like, you need to have sex with me now at this

Steve:

party. And he was like, let's not

Steve:

at this party right now. And she's like, no.

Steve:

And then, like, well, I get the.

Leif:

Sense that this has been building up, but, yeah, it

Leif:

kind of showed that it's, you know, she's been antsy for, like, a week

Leif:

or two now.

Steve:

Yeah, we do get that impression. And, like, you know,

Steve:

the whole, like, chuck pushing it over the edge thing

Steve:

by their whole encounter, the whispering,

Steve:

but for it to end with him being like,

Steve:

okay, I'll show you. And I'm going to just make out with you right here

Steve:

in front of all these people. And it's like, it was

Steve:

such a.

Leif:

Nineties, early 2000 macho type thing.

Steve:

It really was.

Leif:

And you're gonna challenge my manhood?

Steve:

Yeah. And, like, okay, I'll show

Steve:

you how passionate I am. And it was like,

Steve:

yeah, yeah, I didn't buy it. Like,

Steve:

Chuck. It didn't look like it. It looked like

Steve:

you're backfired. But, just give it a week.

Leif:

Nate catches Vanessa just as she is leaving.

Leif:

Vanessa tearfully tells Nate that he should be with

Leif:

katherine. Katherine slips Nate a hotel

Leif:

card and tells him to meet her tomorrow.

Steve:

I really felt for Vanessa and Nate in this scene,

Steve:

too. Like, vanessa really looks

Steve:

upset and really looks hurt, and I

Steve:

felt for her and all, but, like, with Nate, like,

Steve:

really? You want me to be with her?

Steve:

Okay, I

Steve:

guess. Vanessa says I should keep being with you for

Steve:

the money. Like, come on. Come on,

Steve:

chase. You're better than that.

Leif:

Jenny is getting ready to leave now that the power is

Leif:

back. Good dad. Rufus shows up, date in tow,

Leif:

to pick up jenny. Eleanor reinstates jenny

Leif:

and immediately puts Jenny, Rufus, and Rufus date

Leif:

to work.

Steve:

Robin even pointed out I wasn't supposed to mention her name

Steve:

again. I told her I'll give her a second shout out when she starts watching the

Steve:

show.

Steve:

but, she pointed out that, like,

Steve:

everyone is Eleanor's gopher too.

Steve:

Like, can your dad just go pick us up some takeout?

Steve:

And, his friend here, if she can get the drinks and if, just,

Steve:

like, sending people out for food that you just

Steve:

met.

Leif:

Yes. Ah, it extends to other people later in later

Leif:

seasons, too.

Steve:

I thought it was so great, and I felt like,

Steve:

again, it felt. She

Steve:

sells it, though. And if Eleanor Waldorf

Steve:

turned to me and said, hey, I need you

Steve:

to go get me chinese food, I don't think I could say

Steve:

no.

Leif:

The power is back on, and Dan and Serena

Leif:

are saying goodbye. It looks like the OG

Leif:

golden couple is not meant to be.

Leif:

Dan just needs to get over his issues, because as we see

Leif:

the door close, Serena declares that she loves

Leif:

Daniel.

Steve:

Yeah. And, like, Dan, you're just

Steve:

as fucking dumb as the end of season one. And,

Steve:

like. And really, it was like, what was

Steve:

the purpose of this little three episode

Steve:

epilogue? Why did you put us all through this

Steve:

again?

Leif:

Yeah, it should have just moved on.

Steve:

And honestly, I'm not. I I'm

Steve:

not completely sold that this is done,

Steve:

because I feel like it sometimes takes them

Steve:

three episodes to break up in this show.

Leif:

Yeah. Well, of course. The next episode is called the x

Leif:

Files. Chuck has Ann Markley in the back

Leif:

of his limo, eager, for round two. She seems

Leif:

ready to go, but Chuck rises. He only wants to be with

Leif:

Blair. Oh, Chuck.

Leif:

Now stop being a sex pass and be a decent

Leif:

person.

Steve:

Yeah, and also fucking rude.

Steve:

My note there is fucking rude.

Leif:

Yeah, she was just trying to get her not.

Steve:

Yeah. And he's like. And he's like, oh, I am all

Steve:

better, just not for you. Like, oh, you

Steve:

dick.

Leif:

You, can at least go down on her.

Steve:

Yeah, like, make it worth her while.

Leif:

Back in Brooklyn. Dan investor. Bemoaning their

Leif:

respective failed relationships, Vanessa reveals

Leif:

Catherine threatened to reveal the captain's locations of the

Leif:

FBI if Nate leaves her. Is Nate's dick

Leif:

actually the fountain of youth? Surely there are other.

Leif:

There are other attractive young men in New York that would be all too

Leif:

happy to sleep with Katherine. Why is she so

Leif:

thirsty that she has to resort to

Leif:

bribing and blackmailing

Leif:

teenagers? Note the pluralization of

Leif:

teenagers now.

Steve:

Yeah. Yes. She's now

Steve:

blackmailing multiple teenagers. And,

Steve:

like, yeah, you know, she might

Steve:

turn in Nate's dad, but what about, like, the

Steve:

sex trafficking and soliciting of a minor

Steve:

that she's doing? Like, she. You've got stuff on

Steve:

her, too, Vanessa. And also, please don't do

Steve:

the damn Vanessa. I, keep seeing it coming

Steve:

like this fucking freight train.

Leif:

I like this scene, though. I thought it was a good friendship scene.

Steve:

I, thought it was a great friendship scene. I'm worried about it getting

Steve:

romantic. I just feel like they were definitely.

Leif:

Hot and sweaty together.

Steve:

Yeah. And they're all gonna fuck.

Leif:

And why wouldn't they? They all look great.

Steve:

Like, why wouldn't any of them? Why don't they all

Steve:

just have a big cess tuple? Yeah. And just

Steve:

call it a day.

Leif:

Yep.

Steve:

Just. Just live in a, big fucking

Steve:

beach house together and make the most

Steve:

beautiful babies. All of them. Yeah.

Leif:

But that is our episode. So, any

Leif:

predictions?

Steve:

I guess that's a little more small.

Steve:

It's a little more Chloe from small

Steve:

bill.

Steve:

Anyway, predictions? the Dan Vanessa

Steve:

ship seems like it's coming closer. I keep

Steve:

feeling like they're trying to set that up.

Leif:

So, any guesses on what's

Leif:

going on with Marcus? Why he doesn't. Why

Leif:

he doesn't like to have sex with his girlfriend?

Steve:

the fact that you had brought up. Did

Steve:

you bring up his dad? Like, maybe that she knows it? Cause

Steve:

his dad's like that.

Steve:

but, you know, I. There's the.

Steve:

The thought of, is this. Is he an asexual

Steve:

character? Like, is that a thing that they're going to bring

Steve:

into the show and discuss? That would be

Steve:

cool, but I feel like it's probably some kind of

Steve:

royal snobbery or some kind of stuff like

Steve:

that. Or maybe he doesn't want to go to jail

Steve:

as, like, a 32 year old sleeping

Steve:

with a 17 year old.

Leif:

It's New York. It's all good.

Steve:

It's New York.

Leif:

It's even. I think it's 16 in

Leif:

Pennsylvania.

Steve:

It is. Well, it is,

Steve:

but there are certain like, other

Steve:

caveats to that, like police and,

Steve:

like, teachers and certain, like,

Steve:

professions that it is actually still, like,

Steve:

illegal lords.

Steve:

That's why I brought it up, because it is

Steve:

typically things where it is positions of

Steve:

power that make it

Steve:

illegal. But this also doesn't seem like that's, like, a

Steve:

profession. Like, he's in a position of

Steve:

power, but I feel like it's one of

Steve:

those positions of power that would make it

Steve:

disgustingly easy to get

Steve:

away with doing this, which,

Steve:

like, unity. Yeah. Yeah.

Leif:

Let's go ahead and get into some segments

Leif:

we're gonna go to this week in fandom. jumped into the

Leif:

wayback machine to check out the television without pity

Leif:

forums, and I'm here with my boy Steve. Say hello,

Leif:

Steve.

Steve:

Hey, what's up, everybody?

Leif:

Not. Not a rocky aboical fan.

Steve:

Not a what?

Leif:

Rocky aboical fan.

Steve:

Not really. Like, a little bit, but, like,

Steve:

not. Not much.

Leif:

Yeah, that's the line from the, Peabody.

Leif:

Hello, there. Peabody here.

Steve:

And this is the wayback machine for traveling through time.

Steve:

And this is my boy Sherman. Speak.

Steve:

Sherman. Hello. Good boy.

Leif:

Oh.

Steve:

Oh, bye. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Leif:

So in the forums, chuck and

Leif:

Blair are fire. Like.

Leif:

Yeah, they were, they were wet in their panties

Leif:

on the forums for Chuck and Blair.

Steve:

Yeah, I get it.

Leif:

I mean, like, the scenes were sexy.

Steve:

Yeah. And he sure can whisper.

Leif:

Yes.

Steve:

Very inevitably.

Leif:

Very talented. Whisper that.

Steve:

Very odd, talented, inaudible whisperer.

Leif:

Get good with his mouth.

Steve:

Honestly, it is such a great. It is such

Steve:

a cliche, but such a great, like,

Steve:

where you have the guy whisper

Steve:

into the ear and the woman, like,

Steve:

visually note, like. Like it because, like.

Steve:

Because the thing is, is that no man actually knows what they're

Steve:

saying when they're doing.

Leif:

Like.

Steve:

Like, we're all like, whoa, that guy pulled it all.

Leif:

More vibes from Rufus of Vanessa.

Leif:

Yeah, we noted that. Yeah, well,

Leif:

Marcus has a bad accent and no chemistry with Layton.

Steve:

Yep. Zero chemistry. Terrible accent.

Steve:

Yeah. I think that the no chemistry was by design,

Steve:

though. I feel like it is because

Steve:

they're trying to make this

Steve:

non passionate, this passion

Steve:

free relationship. I'm. That that might

Steve:

have been by design.

Leif:

Majority of the people were happy about Stanis arena breaking

Leif:

up.

Steve:

Dumb. Majority of the people are dumb.

Leif:

They're clearly not working.

Steve:

I know, I know, I know. But I feel like. But I'm

Steve:

mad.

Leif:

And they were never work. They were never going to work.

Steve:

I know, but I still. I'm mad that

Steve:

Dan can't grow up. Let me have

Steve:

that. Let me have that.

Leif:

The problem started before they even started dating, though.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

It's because he put her on a pedestal

Leif:

and then couldn't make sure that she was not that person.

Steve:

Yeah. Yep.

Leif:

But, you know, he's a teenager. He'll learn. Hopefully.

Steve:

Yeah. Yeah.

Leif:

People actually like Vanessa for once.

Steve:

Yeah. She was. She. She was great in this

Steve:

episode as a human being and as a

Steve:

person. Her acting was

Steve:

on par for Vanessa, but, like,

Steve:

which, not to shit on her acting, I think that she

Steve:

just always plays Vanessa, you know? But, like,

Steve:

I thought that her. She was really well written this

Steve:

episode.

Leif:

They were definitely all swooning over

Leif:

Chuck, and no one was really buying the

Leif:

nervous penis storyline.

Steve:

Oh. You know, I mean,

Steve:

I think that makes so much sense for a Chuck

Steve:

storyline. Like, I think that, And,

Steve:

yeah, I find it to be completely believable.

Leif:

He's 17.

Steve:

Yeah. But they also don't really portray them as

Steve:

teenagers all the time. Right. Like, they make

Steve:

them have grown up problems

Steve:

a lot.

Leif:

Yeah. I don't really buy it.

Leif:

When I was 17, a slight breeze got me

Leif:

there.

Steve:

Yes. I mean, you're not

Steve:

wrong.

Leif:

I just move it around that. Those silk boxes

Leif:

I'm sure he wears.

Steve:

Yeah, I know. Yeah.

Leif:

I'd be hard constantly.

Steve:

Yeah. Yeah.

Leif:

And then also much more positive about

Leif:

Jenny's storyline this season compared with last season.

Leif:

Yeah, I agree.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

I like her being ambitious in a

Leif:

career oriented rather than being. Trying to be a mean

Leif:

girl.

Steve:

Yeah. Yeah.

Leif:

Dan stock continues to plummet.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

But they were impressed with Penn's acting.

Steve:

Yeah. Yeah.

Leif:

I did think the season with him and Serena were really,

Leif:

really good.

Steve:

Yeah. No, yeah. No, both did a really good job.

Leif:

More positive than negative for chair. But a few people are

Leif:

already anticipating it, dragging out, like, Seth and

Leif:

summer from the OC and becoming stale.

Steve:

That's fair.

Leif:

A few people were negative towards and even

Leif:

slut shaming Blair.

Steve:

I I can see it. I can see

Steve:

it. Especially. Especially then. Especially, you

Steve:

know, twelve years ago.

Leif:

And so it's kind of interesting.

Leif:

This is the same kind of thing. They got her

Leif:

dethroned in season one, getting caught hooking

Leif:

up with two guys.

Steve:

Yeah. Yeah. But this time she was very

Steve:

public about it. Yeah.

Leif:

You know, it doesn't seem to be any repercussions either.

Steve:

Yeah. I mean, we. Although we have not seen

Steve:

anything after that.

Leif:

Yeah.

Steve:

So. But, yeah, it did seem

Steve:

very much like everyone, it seemed like

Steve:

everyone was like. Yeah, we get it. Blair, he's a dud.

Leif:

Now, a couple people seem to think something's

Leif:

going on between Marcus and Katherine.

Steve:

I've had that suspicion in the

Steve:

previous episode, the fact that she always chases

Steve:

away the girlfriends. Right. And the fact that she always,

Steve:

like, gets in the way and that he doesn't

Steve:

like how she is around them, the fact that she is a child

Steve:

predator. Those things both kind of lead

Steve:

me to say, like, maybe she made a pass at him

Steve:

at some point, and he was like, no,

Steve:

because why does she know that he

Steve:

doesn't have sex? I

Steve:

feel like.

Leif:

Is there any chance that he's gay?

Steve:

I think that's possible, too. I just feel

Steve:

like they already did that. You know? I.

Steve:

That was one of my thoughts, especially a

Steve:

couple minutes ago when you asked.

Leif:

Like, but they did with Jenny.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

And this show loves to parallel itself.

Steve:

Oh, it does? Yeah. I mean, because I

Steve:

also had that thought, too. I just wouldn't think that

Steve:

they would want to go back to that well already.

Steve:

That was the only reason I didn't. But then again, I think maybe I.

Steve:

Sometimes I give this show too much.

Leif:

We do. We do know, like, Eric likes those, older

Leif:

looking, taller guys.

Steve:

Yeah. Yeah, the. Eric likes those 30 year

Steve:

olds.

Leif:

That is it for the forums for this week, so let's go

Leif:

ahead and move into some episode grades.

Steve:

All right. I think I go first.

Leif:

Yes, you are first.

Steve:

All right. Yeah. Let's do some episode grades.

Steve:

First of all, I gave this one a, solid b.

Steve:

I thought it was a good, solid episode.

Steve:

I enjoyed it a lot more. It was my favorite

Steve:

of season two so far. I, like you said,

Steve:

I feel like it had its place among

Steve:

season one episodes, except for the.

Steve:

The only thing that's out of place is

Steve:

the soap opera storyline that we didn't

Steve:

have quite that level of soap opera in.

Steve:

In season one, but, like, I found the

Steve:

Dan and Serena stuff annoyed me. Like I said,

Steve:

the. The little j. And I Eleanor

Steve:

seems predictable but amazing,

Steve:

like, cliche, but so well done. This

Steve:

show can work a cliche that is something that it has

Steve:

done a m few times. The whole

Steve:

Nate, Vanessa Catherine thing is gross, but it's

Steve:

still intriguing and

Steve:

engaging. and chair. Being chair.

Steve:

I don't like it when Catherine gets the best of Blair. I don't like

Steve:

it when she gets Blair on her back heels.

Leif:

This is Blair now.

Steve:

what?

Leif:

This is Blair now?

Steve:

Yeah. Just on her back heels.

Leif:

Well, not necessarily that, but she's. She's all. She's always

Leif:

feeding on insecurities that they really are going to play that

Leif:

up going forward. She's. She has these

Leif:

insecurities, and she. She's clever,

Leif:

but she's not the smartest person in the room.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

She's. She does not. She's vicious and

Leif:

she'll go to any lengths.

Leif:

And she's definitely clever and she is smart, but she's

Leif:

not the smartest.

Steve:

Yeah, that's fair. But, yeah,

Steve:

overall, solid b.

Leif:

So I thought this episode, great directing, the use

Leif:

of the blackout as a set piece was great. I think it

Leif:

worked really well.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

Then we also had great acting. Both the

Leif:

sarita and Dan scenes and Eleanor and Jenny

Leif:

scenes were both standouts.

Leif:

And I thought the writing was, you know,

Leif:

outside of the Catherine and Nate

Leif:

stuff, that that's the only thing. It really brought it down, so I actually gave it an

Leif:

a minus.

Steve:

That's fair. I don't think that's a. I, think that is a

Steve:

fair grade. Yeah.

Leif:

Let's go ahead and move the stock watch.

Leif:

What do you got going up?

Steve:

All right. Going up. for one, I was really torn

Steve:

on Vanessa because she kind of loses out in the

Steve:

end. But I felt like she was just such

Steve:

a good, empathetic person that I had

Steve:

Vanessa going up. I had

Steve:

Jenny and Eleanor both going up because

Steve:

they both, in both

Steve:

performance wise and as characters, they

Steve:

both had growth, like

Steve:

visible growth in one episode. So

Steve:

both of them, I had Rufus going up. Rufus

Steve:

got. Rufus is dating. Good job, Rufus.

Steve:

Get way to get back out there. But that's all that I had going

Steve:

up.

Leif:

for me, I definitely had Jenny. she, you know, started

Leif:

off looked like she was going to get fired, but, you know, obviously pulled

Leif:

through in the end and had some good bonding with

Leif:

Eleanor. Eleanor, also, she. She

Leif:

got good bonding with Jenny. And we got some more

Leif:

layers to her. Like we got roman holiday. So I like

Leif:

that Rufus, like you said, he's

Leif:

dating. And, I by far the best parent because he's the only parent

Leif:

that actually cared about his kids at the blackout.

Steve:

Yeah.

Leif:

The only one to actually check on this child.

Steve:

Yeah. Who went out in the blackout to find his

Steve:

kid.

Leif:

Yes. and then I also had dance

Leif:

Renee going up because I think

Leif:

they needed to have this happen. And they just,

Leif:

you know, they were treading water for the past two

Leif:

episodes and now they're finally out of

Leif:

this and they can move on to, hopefully they could be

Leif:

friends and, you know, still remain in the same orbit

Leif:

because otherwise we got the two shows. Yeah, we

Leif:

got. So we gotta kind of figure out a way for them to

Leif:

still interact.

Steve:

Which they've been really good at so far with every other

Steve:

ex relationship.

Leif:

But that. That's it for going up for me and you got going

Leif:

down.

Steve:

I have both of them going down, and I feel like the

Steve:

breakup sends them down, and they got to go down

Steve:

before they go up. I feel like they've kind of hit a rock

Steve:

bottom here, too, which is much better than, like, a Chuck

Steve:

rock bottom. I have Laurel going down because.

Steve:

Fuck you, Laurel. Yeah.

Leif:

I didn't even care enough about her to.

Steve:

I just. I actually had her more as an

Steve:

afterthought, but I wanted to make sure to

Steve:

knock her down because. For being so shitty to

Steve:

little j. And then I had Nate and Katherine, both

Steve:

of them both going down because, God,

Steve:

she's important. Eight.

Leif:

Poor fucking for me. Chuck,

Leif:

he loses this episode big.

Leif:

Blair because she. She's humiliated

Leif:

and acts a fool. Marcus because

Leif:

he got cuck. Nate obviously is still

Leif:

getting raped.

Steve:

Yeah. Yeah.

Leif:

Catherine being a rape.

Leif:

And I gave Vanessa because even though I

Leif:

liked her performance and I liked. I understood, I felt

Leif:

bad for her. She clearly lost this episode.

Steve:

yeah. And it's funny, I think that I really

Steve:

like that she got an up and a down because I

Steve:

really felt like both things happened

Steve:

to her. Yeah. That there was character growth and

Steve:

some great stuff, but also, she lost in the

Steve:

end. And I also am glad that you

Steve:

gave Blair, Chuck,

Steve:

and Marcus the down because I didn't think

Steve:

it was quite enough to send them down, but I

Steve:

got it. And, like, I think they. Yeah. So I

Steve:

think that I, like. I'm actually really happy with today's

Steve:

stock watch.

Leif:

Well, that is it for stock watch. who do you have for best

Leif:

outfit?

Steve:

But here's the best outfits from the last

Steve:

episode we seen,

Steve:

Chuck's pajamas. I thought those were just

Steve:

fucking dope, and I want to wear them.

Leif:

So I felt bad for Vanessa voting you're down,

Leif:

so I'm going to give her the best outfit. I thought overall, she had

Leif:

a couple of good outfits, but the one I gave it to

Leif:

was the flower print maxi dress, from the

Leif:

Jovic Hawk

Leif:

2007 collection. And she also had,

Leif:

like, the necklace with, like, the hoop, and I had two red

Leif:

stones that kind of, like cranberries that kind of worked well

Leif:

with the flowers.

Steve:

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Very cool.

Leif:

That is it for segments. Let's go ahead and move

Leif:

into plugs. Anything plug recommend this

Leif:

week?

Steve:

I. Would recommend watching. I think

Steve:

I brought it up before, but I would definitely recommend watching the

Steve:

sympathizer on, on Max.

Steve:

It's a show about a, north

Steve:

vietnamese spy

Steve:

during the fall of Saigon and the

Steve:

end of the Vietnam war, and it's just a

Steve:

really cool spy

Steve:

show intrigue. Fun

Steve:

watch for me.

Leif:

I am going to go ahead and recommend book

Leif:

smart. I know I'm a little late on this one. It came out in

Leif:

2019. It is a, teen

Leif:

coming of age movie. I think it's best

Leif:

described as super bad for Gen Z.

Leif:

so yeah, it's very funny. Good to see that they are still

Leif:

making like broad sheet teeny comedies.

Leif:

So I really enjoyed that. So if you're a fan of super, I definitely

Leif:

recommend it.

Steve:

Yeah, I'll check that out.

Leif:

episode four, the X Files. The

Leif:

max episode preview reads, vanessa learns

Leif:

a scandalous secret and enlistsenhe Blair's

Leif:

help.

Steve:

Yeah, I love

Steve:

the idea of a Blair

Steve:

Vanessa team up. I'm here for

Steve:

that because, like, for

Steve:

Vanessa to go to Blair, it says a

Steve:

lot, but also the fact that, like,

Steve:

blair loves the challenge and Blair loves the

Steve:

scheme.

Leif:

So, I mean, the secret has to be what's going on with Marcus,

Leif:

right?

Steve:

Yeah, yeah, I mean, I figure it has to be.

Steve:

And yeah, I, think it has to be

Steve:

the, the katherine Marcus

Steve:

thing. I'm really excited for this

Steve:

episode.

Leif:

we will be back next week. Until next time. You know you

Leif:

love us. Xoxo.

Steve:

Take care.

Steve:

Every time you walk away run away you take a

Steve:

piece of me with you there

Steve:

every time you walk away run away run away you take a

Steve:

piece of me with you there

Steve:

every time you walk away run away you take a

Steve:

piece of me with you there

Steve:

oh it seems I'm walking right.

Steve:

To your door.

Steve:

My heart's still resting looking for

Steve:

something more

Steve:

are you ever gonna see everything thing you mean to

Steve:

me I'm trying really hard to believe

Steve:

every time you walk away or run away you take a

Steve:

piece of me with you there

Steve:

every time you walk away or run away you take a

Steve:

piece of me with you there

Steve:

every time you walk away or run away you take a

Steve:

piece of me with you there

Steve:

never feels right when I'm out here on

Steve:

my own

Steve:

I left last night and it feels like
