Hello everyone! The clip you're about to hear is from one of our exclusive Patreon episodes on a recent tour release, and just like all of our other episodes, it might include major spoilers for said horror release, so don't listen to it if you haven't already seen it. You've officially been warned. And if you'd like to hear the full episode, just head on over to patreon.com/horakwiers and subscribe today. Without further ado, here is your exclusive Patreon clip. Did you just go back to the overall quality of this rollercoaster we're talking about? None of the bad stuff was ever like show ruining, where I was like "I can't watch the show anymore because it's so bad." It honestly kind of became comedy for me, where like my husband and I would just watch it and we would be laughing sometimes at the show and sometimes with the show. Like it just depended on what was going on. Yeah, I mean you could turn it into a drinking game if you wanted to, where it's like every time we have either a cringy line, this season it's every time we're saying fucking spooky spaghetti or in the finale every time we say the word proxy. Oh my god, the spooky sp, okay so let's just, let's just, we divided this, our outline, we're going to go by the characters in there in their plot lines. Because yeah, so we have all the girls and they have also boyfriends and then there's also like family, these poor mother actresses who have nothing to add. Oh my god. Okay, so wait, wait, wait. So here's what people need to know about season one. So there's five liars, they live in the small town of Millwood and in season one they were being stalked by A who was a giant masked man who was going around killing a bunch of people and they had to figure out why they realized that they were all sort of connected but it mostly comes together around Imogen and this baby plot. She is pregnant because she was raped at a frat party as was Tabby and so it all comes to a head where we reveal who A is and we send him away kind of because of course the first episode back is like, hey, here's what you missed last time on pretty little liars. And again, if you haven't seen season one or you have, or you're like, oh, I never watched the original series. Do I have to watch that to get into this? No, this, there are like Easter egg references to the original series but there is nothing like nothing is bearing on the plot. You'll even like miss the references and it doesn't matter. So yeah, this is pretty much a mostly standalone series of television. Agreed. Yeah, like I think I've watched one episode of Pretty Little Liars and I was fine to jump into season one and then I like you had forgotten most of season one of Pretty Little Liars original sin. And when I sat down to watch, I was like, I hope they give me a recap. And then I realized, oh, that first episode is giving us most of what we need. Yeah, absolutely. But it also like, I mean, like the original show, which I watched, I want to say six of the seven seasons of or maybe five and a half. I think I made it to have my disease in five before I stopped. But it actually was like a very, it leaned into horror a lot. Like there's an entire episode that is a psycho homage. They do a terror train thing. Like, I wouldn't call it a horror show, but in very much war, it's horror influences on its sleeves. Whereas right, I think season one of original sin, like that was, I would call that a horror show season two. I would call more kind of harken back to the original show for me where it was more of a teen soap opera with horror elements. But right, we are still killing people here. So we are. They're just often the peripheral characters. And I will say that's one of my criticisms of season two. I don't necessarily want us to kill one of these liars. But when I thought that we were killing Kelly, who's the religious girl played by Mallory Bechtel, I thought I liked this actor. But if it means that we kill someone so everybody else gets more screen time, I might be okay with it. I was actually really upset with how separate she was for the liars for most of the season. I like this Kelly, why I like this Kelly character. I don't know how anyone comes back from what she did at that redemption house thing, which I think that's the best episode of the season for me is that episode. Because it reminded me of Inchucky, when Lexi mocked Jake's dad by dressing up as his corpse for Halloween. I was like, ooh, I don't know. But we came around on Lexi and I would like to come around on Kelly, but it's kind of just like, I'm sorry, guys. It's okay. We got kind of writing. We got it. It's so true. And yeah, I don't want to belabor the point, but I think when everybody only gets a tiny little bit of screen time in every episode, because there's so many characters, so many plots that we're trying to juggle, it becomes really hard to say, oh, will I forgive a character like Kelly? Because it feels like we've seen her twice since that happens, and then everybody's just okay with it. I would really like for there to not be boyfriends next season, or if there are have them be the ones that die, that they're getting killed off in succession, and they're glad I have to figure out what's going on. 100%. Are you hearing us Roberto Aguirre-Sicasa? Because we are giving you a freebie here. [Music]
