Come on.
0:13
>> Moving on to our, you know, by the
0:15
before I start, um, I had a hard time
0:17
finding two top books. That's why my
0:19
books seem so random.
0:21
>> I I I was I read a lot of books and I'm
0:24
just like that was not worthy of two. I
0:26
Thor was a stretch for me. Thor was a
0:28
stretch for me. Little bit of a stretch.
0:30
Yeah. All right.
0:31
>> Uh, moving on to our next segment.
0:33
Standout.
0:34
>> Kapow.
0:36
>> Moment of the week.
0:37
>> Well, I want to get like a guitar and I
0:41
>> Yeah, basically like Bill and Ted
0:43
>> kind of exactly like Yeah.
0:46
>> Am I [ __ ] idols?
0:47
>> Am I Bill and you're Ted or
0:50
>> I wish K Ree was my dad.
0:53
I
0:54
>> wish he was.
0:56
>> But Neo, I want Neo. Not not Ted. Is he
0:59
Bill or Ted? He's Ted. Yeah, he's Ted. I
1:02
>> think he's Ted.
1:02
>> This is where we talk about our favorite
1:03
panel or page out this week. And you're
1:07
never going to guess what Chris's
1:09
favorite page is from.
1:11
>> It's from Thor number eight. No.
1:15
>> Yeah, right.
1:16
>> It's night number eight.
1:17
>> You're joshing us,
1:19
>> you guys.
1:21
>> Sorry. Um, you know, I I just talked
1:24
about kind of my very very complicated
1:27
emotional processing and grief for this
1:30
issue and like um this doesn't seem like
1:33
a particularly standout issue or page,
1:36
pardon me. Uh, but
1:38
>> I love the moon. I just love that it,
1:41
you know, it makes me feel very like
1:43
>> it made me feel quiet and like it made
1:46
me feel contemplative and like I was
1:48
just thinking about myself as kind of
1:50
I'm moving across this page and you get
1:52
to the very end and it's that moment
1:54
where you know uh
1:58
uh they're they're they're sharing a
2:00
very intimate thing. They're this having
2:02
this connection. I mean, there's this
2:03
whole uh section
2:06
uh where they kind of uh they have sex.
2:10
I mean, basically like it's it's a
2:12
little, you know, it's it's kind of
2:14
>> but it's intimate the way they've drawn
2:16
it.
2:16
>> It's very intimate. It's very physical,
2:18
but it's also very intimate. But I just
2:19
love that moment of like that paired
2:23
with just that phrase of like have faith
2:24
in them. Like it just made me like yeah,
2:26
okay. like we should have faith in young
2:30
people that they will hopefully unmuck
2:33
the world. We should have faith in young
2:35
people that they can sort of figure it
2:37
all out. But like I think it also speaks
2:39
to the creative team of this of nights
2:43
and and what they were trying to kind of
2:44
do with this finale and like you just
2:47
kind of have to have faith that they
2:48
know what they're doing with the story
2:50
and that if you care about the story
2:51
they will they'll they will figure it
2:53
out. And so I think that made me that
2:55
made my grief that made my weird
2:57
emotional kind of response to this
2:59
important issue feel a little better. So
3:04
>> poor went out for nights, guys. It's
3:06
over. It's done.
3:09
>> In the words of Froto, it's over. It's
3:10
done.
3:11
>> He did say that a lot.
3:13
>> My favorite page comes from Destination
3:16
Kill number four by Joe Palmer. Um I
3:19
laughed out loud at this moment.
3:21
>> It's really great. The visuals in this
3:24
book are freaking amazing. The the sound
3:26
effects.
3:27
>> Yeah.
3:28
>> The cell-shaded look is just stunning.
3:31
>> Yeah.
3:32
>> Sorry, I cut you off like five times.
3:33
>> No, I was just going to say I just I
3:35
this like if you want prime like gradea
3:39
physical humor like
3:42
>> this moment is great and just proves
3:44
what you know that Joe's this really
3:46
great writer. So, if you're listening,
3:47
go to ariptcoms.com, go to this podcast
3:49
post. The art is there for you to see.
3:51
Um, if you're on YouTube, enjoy. Uh, so
3:54
what I love is, you know, he's smacking
3:57
this bad guy. We can't see his right
4:00
arm.
4:01
We That's just just the comedy of it.
4:03
Like, he's fine. He's not in pain. He's
4:06
thumbs thumbsing up, but then all of a
4:08
sudden he's like guy getting stabbed.
4:11
He's getting stabbed, but it looks like
4:13
it's like he's like Plato, like
4:14
nothing's happening. And then the and
4:17
the blood. It's like out of the old um
4:20
like samurai movies where they cut off
4:22
arms and stuff.
4:24
>> Yeah.
4:24
>> Just a geyser of blood.
4:27
And uh the the comedy timing of that is
4:30
just so perfect. And
4:31
>> spot on.
4:33
>> And it's just some little baddy. It's
4:35
like not like the super villain getting
4:37
the the cut in, you know?
4:40
>> Great book. That's the last issue, too,
4:41
that came out this week.
4:42
>> That's Yeah.
4:51
Come on. Woo.
