Big fans of the original Castlevania.

Speaker:

Like, Netflix, every, Netflix has, like, a whole bunch of crappy stuff, and then,

Speaker:

like, every, and then it uses all the money it makes from all that crappy stuff

Speaker:

collectively, to then pay a couple of good people to make good stuff, and one

Speaker:

of those good things were Castlevania.

Speaker:

Castlevania.

Speaker:

Now Nicholas, what did you think of the original series?

Speaker:

Cause this is like, this is like a sequel series, I guess a spinoff.

Speaker:

Yeah, probably like a spinoff.

Speaker:

I think they're going to continue to do this because each one there's

Speaker:

like generations of, of Belmont's just like it is in the game.

Speaker:

And if it makes, and it does really well, why would they not keep doing it?

Speaker:

I mean, Castlevania has been going on how long?

Speaker:

I mean, it's been years.

Speaker:

It's been years, man.

Speaker:

So, I mean, you could really go as long as you really want to.

Speaker:

Um, So, I mean, Not turn, by the way.

Speaker:

This Castlevania is about the French.

Speaker:

It's, you know, they're in the thick of the French Revolution.

Speaker:

So, um, I don't really know too much about it.

Speaker:

But, uh, If he's French, then he's probably going to surrender.

Speaker:

First episode.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

And then the other episodes, the Americans are going to come, they're going to.

Speaker:

I'm really excited.

Speaker:

I really liked the last one.

We used to get Roman candles and try to hit each other with them.

Those of you listening, I'm black.

Speaker:

I can make that joke.

Speaker:

Ha ha ha Ha ha ha Don't cancel it.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

Notice how I didn't say it.

Speaker:

I am white.

Speaker:

This guy is just like his old man.

Speaker:

They just don't care, bro.

Speaker:

They want anything.

Speaker:

For some beings that can self heal, they are very bad at self healing.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

And we mix the tequila with this, this uh, Mixer that comes with it.

Speaker:

And it tastes like cough syrup.

Speaker:

It really ruined the tequila for me, actually.

Speaker:

Did it really?

Speaker:

Yeah, I mean, yeah, no.

Speaker:

The mixer is not good at all?

Speaker:

The mixer...

Speaker:

Well, I mean, if the point was to make it taste like shit, then it works.

Speaker:

Such a wanker you are.

Speaker:

Wanker.

Speaker:

You'd be surprised who Richard Powerful are friends with.

Speaker:

So guys, I gotta admit to you, I'm gonna get rid of this and

Speaker:

just have only the tequila.

Speaker:

I don't like this mixer.

Speaker:

You don't like the mixer?

Speaker:

No, I'm not a fan.

Speaker:

I'm not a fan.

Speaker:

I'm sorry, Nicholas, do you like the mixer?

Speaker:

Hold on, let me try it one more time.

Speaker:

Yeah, no, I'm good.

Speaker:

You've been talking a lot this whole time.

Speaker:

You've been talking a lot.

Speaker:

Everyone in this town is so swole, look at all these people.

Speaker:

They all work out.

Speaker:

Then you gon pay.

Speaker:

So you're evil, just by the way you're talking.

Speaker:

You're definitely evil, bro.

Speaker:

This Abbot is not a good guy.

Speaker:

Not in the slightest.

Speaker:

Can you mix tequila with coffee?

Speaker:

You trying to find out?

Speaker:

Let's find out.

Speaker:

Mint chocolate chip?

Speaker:

I mean, I don't know if this episode is long enough for that.

Speaker:

Eh,

Speaker:

time to find out.

Speaker:

In your soul how much sadness was lost.

Speaker:

That's good view.

Speaker:

He's like, man, you don't know.

Speaker:

We think vampires are gathering in a chateau and maybe this is the reason

Speaker:

we can go and look for ourselves.

Speaker:

See if it is just innocent nobles with their teeth stained

Speaker:

by nothing worse than vintage carrot, but we could use some help.

Speaker:

They are not going to give you any help whatsoever.

Speaker:

Don't do it.

Speaker:

he reminds me of a, uh, a previous religious figure in the series.

Speaker:

Spies everywhere.

Speaker:

They are everywhere.

Speaker:

The whole town.

Speaker:

It's why we go to the woods.

Speaker:

We did the right thing though.

Speaker:

Speaking to him.

Speaker:

Oh Shit

Speaker:

you're looking pretty good girl.

Speaker:

So and you are a terrible shot.

Speaker:

This is why you should always go to the range.

Speaker:

Oh Man,

Speaker:

bro, that's an elbow.

Speaker:

You did like nothing to defend yourself.

Speaker:

Basically nothing.

Speaker:

No

Speaker:

Damn,

Speaker:

that's probably some freaky shit they were doing back in France, back in

Speaker:

the time of the French Revolution.

Speaker:

You know, this scene reminds me of something, but I can't think of it.

Speaker:

What?

Speaker:

I don't know, it seems so familiar.

Speaker:

Bray.

Speaker:

Is this whole new series based off an interview with a vampire?

Speaker:

Probably.

Speaker:

Damn, look at all those people.

Speaker:

Like, uh, I'm so bored.

Speaker:

Then why are you doing this?

Speaker:

Man, having a terrible, terrible dream.

Speaker:

Why

Speaker:

do you kill them if you're so uninterested?

Speaker:

It's the most fun you can have with your clothes on.

Speaker:

Yes, it is.

Speaker:

Yes, it is.

Speaker:

You don't believe in anything.

Speaker:

You're the kindest, most great, most understandable.

Speaker:

I don't need to believe him, too.

Speaker:

He just needs to stand by you.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Always.

Speaker:

Always.

Speaker:

I am Batman.

Speaker:

You're such a dick.

Speaker:

I like

Speaker:

the Belmont style, you know what I mean?

Speaker:

Although, I don't think Trevor is his dad.

Speaker:

I think it's probably like his great ancestor.

Speaker:

Probably like his, I think it's like his great grandfather?

Speaker:

No, that must be his aunt he was talking about.

Speaker:

Oh, so those two must be cousins.

Speaker:

Probably.

Speaker:

Man, I hope so.

Speaker:

Man, the action scenes in this are great.

Speaker:

Right?

Speaker:

Yo, what is that?

Speaker:

That's an L.

Speaker:

My bird!

Speaker:

It's black people!

Speaker:

Come to save the white man!

Speaker:

Oh, no, okay, so we have a Gaara girl.

Speaker:

It's clearly like Gaara from, from, uh...

Speaker:

Yo, hey!

Speaker:

I've never seen anything like them.

Speaker:

They were not creatures.

Speaker:

Made from human corpses grafted onto souls from hell.

Speaker:

Moktis necromancer,

Speaker:

great power.

Speaker:

And why did the other monsters just leave instead of keep attacking?

Speaker:

I don't know.

Speaker:

My name is Annette.

Speaker:

Plot armor.

Speaker:

With the scent of magic.

Speaker:

. Oh, I like sl Dang of across the ocean.

Speaker:

Looking for someone called Belmont

Speaker:

I don't suppose you know anything about a Messiah.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

Oh, that's why we're here.

Speaker:

No.

Speaker:

What?

Speaker:

Hey, hey.

Speaker:

That's, it's wearing it out.

Speaker:

Ain't that convenient.

Speaker:

It's wearing it out.

Speaker:

Hey, Hey.

Speaker:

This one's letting a little P T S d Get to him though.

Speaker:

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker:

Like, didn't Trevor have his parents die in front of 'em too?

Speaker:

Like come on, man.

Speaker:

Speaker:

To be a drunk like you, like, like you answer

Speaker:

Speaking of drinking.

Speaker:

Ooh.

Speaker:

like the new, the Belmont guy.

Speaker:

I kinda like him.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

I kinda like him, I just don't...

Speaker:

He reminds me of, like, Zac Efron.

Speaker:

Heh, heh, heh.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Like a cooler Zac Efron.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

Uh, well, you know what?

Oh, Nicholas has made a face?

Speaker:

What does that mean?

Speaker:

Um,

Speaker:

it's interesting.

Speaker:

It's not bad.

Speaker:

But the tequila and the mint chocolate coffee they are, like,

Speaker:

completely separate from each other.

Speaker:

Like, you taste them at different times.

Speaker:

Oh, dude, they got a video game ending.

Speaker:

Oh, that's cool.

Speaker:

This has just went up several points in my book.

Speaker:

Speaker:

to be fair the first episode of castlevania Uh, was a little slow too.
