As a KC native, I'm really impressed how well they cleaned up our roads for the show.
They shot this in Canada
😂
Lmfao 😂😂😂😂😂
Honestly the actor for Brian did a great job. He was only in it for a scene, but I had chills when he cried out for his Mom :(
Yeah, he was convincing af!
Same. Was heartbreaking. 😢
Screw Brian. He tried to kill them. And they lost all their stuff and truck!
@@nancyscogin7549 bro they're talking about the actor 😅
Team Shoot Brian 🤣
Did you notice Joel was sleeping on his good ear when they snuck up on them? That's why he couldn't hear them coming. The attention to detail on this show is just amazing.
When i saw that the first thing i said was "noo, youre on your good ear!". I wonder if that will come into play later, that he got a little too relaxed, i think because he had some giggles and released some stress..but that ultimately leads to him not being as attentive and bam got snuck up on. It could be nothing but i felt a little of that.
FUN FACT:
The actor who played Kathleen's main henchman, Perry ( Jeffrey Pierce ) in tonight's episode voiced Tommy in the video game.
Huh i didn’t recognise him with a beard
@@danzansandeev6033 Yeah it took me a second. When he first was shown I did a double take and thought "Wait I know that guy." It wasn't until he started speaking that it clicked with me.
100% team knife Brian. Truly no reason to waste a bullet.
Also, if they did waste a bullet, the other FEDRA soldiers would have *Heard It!*
Something which was confirmed in The Last of Us Podcast.
#knifeBrian
#KnifeOfBrian
Druckman knows no one that has played the videogame would waste a bullet on Brian, we'd all knife him, or stomp him.
@@JinxTheLooneyToon915 They would have heard it? But they didn't hear the entire gun fight with rifles before that? That podcast sounds bad.
When Kathleen, the merc leader lady, was interrogating the doctor she mentioned that Henry sold out her brother to FEDRA and that got her brother killed so she basically just wants revenge on Henry because of that
Thanks!! I didn’t understand the plot with her either!
And I'm assuming that Henry was just doing whatever he had to do to protect his son. Sorry Karen.
@Pitiless Nightmare in the game there is no Kathleen. The Hunters are just mobs of raiders who make life hell for Joel and Ellie. Love that they've given them more depth and the casting for the leader is very interesting. Great actress
Yeah, Kathleen is an idiot killing the only doctor in Kansas city.
@@jxchamb
Brother. Sam is his brother.
The implication is that Kathleen blames Henry for “snitching” to FEDRA about her brother, which led to him getting beaten to death in a FEDRA cell and Kathleen then spearheading the revolt to take over the QZ. Obviously that’s not the whole story and we’ll probably be hearing about what happened from Henry himself next episode but Kathleen’s so blinded by vengeance, something is going to go SPECTACULARLY tits up.
Given, ya know, the ‘breathing’ floor and what is likely under it
You can see how she landed the job, but also can see why she isn't a long term solution.
Unfortunately for everyone, lots of different forces have aligned themselves to pop up at the same time... Episode 5 is going to be the episode with the most action. It's going to be chaos.
OMG I was screaming at Adam. She said why she was mad at Henry.
From what I've heard her brother was leading the revolt and after he died she took over by default I guess, bc she's an extraordinarily bad leader.
Btw, the dude with the white beard finding the pit in the basement is the Actor that played Tommy in the video game :)
She states that FEDRA school taught her how to hold a gun so I assumed they taught her how to clear the chamber and handle one as well. I think you missed the part in episode one where Ellie talks about FEDRA teaching orphans like her to be FEDRA soldiers when they grow up. FEDRA was making kid fascists like most authoritarian regimes do.
I mean...every school in the apocalypse should be a military school, ideology aside. It's just practical survival skills.
@@viktorstagnetti7491 Courses on gun safety and other survivalist skills don't require military school. As recently as 50 years ago public schools all over the US were teaching exactly that. Those are skills farm kids need.
Typical white girl applying things like fascism ideals to the literal APOCALYPSE.
Privileged, much?
@Viktor Stagnetti I mean agree with survival skills being taught, but fuck fedra. Genociding healthy people, raising child soldiers, ect. It's prolly what would always happen in this situation, but that doesn't mean it should.
No Brians were harmed in the filming of this episode.
21:08 that Annie Lennox joke by Jay was fantastic
20:33 “Hi we’re Apocalypse Knees, we just need one more suggestion to get started…” 😂🤣❤️
Not me screaming that they did the pun book and the magazine scene… I was like … they’re doing it!! They’re doing it!! … also The tank filling and the convo that followed was for sure a nod to the hydro dam part in the game where Joel is like “I know what it is, but I don’t know how it works”
My exact thought as I saw it too
That was the exact same reaction I had to seeing Henry and Sam at the end... they also made Sam quite a bit younger it looks like which gives me an extra "oh no"
Yup...
It’s going to hurt
I already started tearing up lol
sam is also deaf in the show
My heart sunk when I first saw him ;_; he looks so little
😂 That long lead up to Jay singing while Adam looked so confused was *chefs kiss* 😙🤌🏻
i wonder why everyone forgot she was raised in a Fedra Base .... LOL
Reel Rejects, Heroes Reforged, and pReview'd are the absolute best. Hands down. Great job!!!
"Always look on the bright side of life" (whistle, whistle, whistle)
I laughed for like a minute when he started singing broken glass 😂😂
Jay is honestly one of the funniest dudes on youtube.
Kathleen has real Karen energy. She spoke to the "manager" and killed him.
My headcanon on why Kathleen is in charge is that in taking over the QZ, most of the rebel leadership was killed and she was some mid-level rebel shoved into the leadership role
Joel: "First time you hurt..."
Jay: "a Brian." 😂
A couple of things:
There aren't Starbucks in the QZ, Ellie was just saying she's seen a couple closed down ones and "That's what they used to sell?!"
Also, Perry, the second in command of the hunter group, is Tommy's actor from the games!
I want to believe that Starbucks survived Outbreak Day, because those stores spread like a fungal infection 😉
17:20 "It wasn't my first time..." That's when I remember THAT happened. Oh the tears...
we never see Ellie do anything like that in Left Behind so not sure what you mean
@@tomfehr no it’s not clearly shown as far as what I can recall, but I imagine she did it (I don’t want to spoil too much for others not familiar with that story)
@@RainoAkira “That” has to be what Ellie was referencing and if they show it in the flashback episode I’ll probably lose it lol
Just in case you guys didn’t know, the next episode drops on Friday due to the Super bowl being on Sunday. Loved the reaction!
Thanks, I didn't know.
lol they mention that after the reaction :P
It's only on hbo max it will still show on TV on Sunday from what saw
17:56 - I'm here for the non-flippent apocalypse knees - groin limberness lubricatuon commentary
Team Knife Brian. I’m with Adam, you don’t waste a bullet. Smart vengeance. 💯
I am KCK born and raised. Yes, Jay...Kansas City has many fine people and qualities. This episode reminded me of watching The Day After when I was in high school in the '80s. Whether it be a nuclear event or a fungal pandemic, seeing my city buildings serving as the backdrop for an apocalyptic wasteland is devastating. (Mushrooms, mushroom clouds...equal amount of emotional trauma).
On a happier side note, Pedro hosting SNL this past week was such a joy! The "trailer" for the HBO Mario Kart series was so fun. I'd watch the heck out of that show! C'mon, HBO...make it happen! And for a further KC tie-in, the Super Bowl wings commercial they did with Pedro sporting Chiefs gear and a Patrick Mahomes jersey made my heart so happy!
I’ve driven over that blue bridge at least 30 times. It’s the I-70 bridge at Wheeling, WV. And that is exactly what it looks like. Including the surrounding buildings.
There is no mushrooms in the basement. It is Bowser trying to take over Kansas City in order to lure Mario there with their bad plumbing
Since I have no knowledge of the game, I spent a good chunk of the episode thinking this was one of those scenarios where Henry had long-since died, and was basically just a bogeyman used to whip people up in a frenzy.
The best cameos from the game are Jeffrey Pierce who plays Perry and was Tommy's voice actor on the game, and that pun book. I wasn't sure the pun book would make an appearance and here it is sowing the seeds of bonding between Daddy Pedro and his mushroom murder baby.
That roller-coaster is at worlds of fun. It's a theme park in Kansas City. Rode it many times. It's cool to see KC in a big time thing because you definitely don't see it much.
Kathleen said already what happened to her to be in search of Henry: she believes he ratted her brother out to be executed.
"How would she know that joke....?" Well Adam, I believe Ellie is meant to be 14 in the show and she's been raised in a FEDRA orphanage so she probably heard plenty of adults talk loosely around her 😅
Never underestimate the vulgarity of middle school boys.
Adam was savage this episode 😂
I am from KC and I agree that they are not representing the city well but I also understand why they used it.
And when Adam was talking about staying limber and...lubricated... A lubricated groin. Priceless!
Lots of funghi species have huge underground network called a mycelium. It is literally a way in which funghi communicate with plants and trees.
That laugh they share provided me with nuclear powered happiness 😊
I like how the ground shaking part in this episode reminds some people of Emergence Day from Gears Of War. I never played them (though I wish) but I know what they mean about "Emergence Day" in that franchise.
22:15 I think this is what I appreciate most about the series. The longer episodes just allow you to breathe & be in the moment.
I don't think anyone is going to breathe in episode 5. This is going to the most chaotic episode of the season.
Joel and Ellie, Sam and Henry, the hunters, and the infected all just getting along together in peace i'm sure 🤣
@@xavierarial24 Triple-Threat match for the ages.
#teamknifeBrian, #teamSmartVengeance, apparently when Rose couldn't stalk Charlie Sheen she decided to stalk Henry and Sam.
I’m a Brian from Kansas City and I approve of this video. Go Chiefs!!!
Why am I crying at Joel apologizing to Ellie? I blame Pedro's performance. He's been SO good.
Seeing Joel stay up all night on watch, all because Ellie was scared...so fucking heartwarming.
Joel is going full Dad mode and I doubt he even realizes it.
The dad jokes were a perfect device to help spark his humanity, allowing him to start to bond with Ellie. His past haunts him so much, and copes by cutting himself off from it. He doesn't remember who he is anymore, but Ellie is reminding him. She's bringing Joel back to who he was before the world had that very bad weekend.
Ellie has grown up in a post-apocolyptic world, but contrary to what Joel believes, Ellie has hope for the future, and wants to enjoy her life. (I believe she knows how her story plays out, and what her immunity means. She has to believe, and does believe, her life now has significant meaning, which, I think, gives her that joyfulness. The death of **spoiler** filled her with guilt, anger, and self-loathing, but her immunity gave meaning to it all...she has a purpose now, and so **spoiler** didn't die in vain) Her seeming naivety, from Joel's perspective, sparks his Protector mode, something he's very good at, but that mode is inextricably linked to his Dad mode around Ellie (you have to have kids to fully understand what that means).
Joel's cynicism, from such a tragic past, is starting to erode as he sees how joyful and spirited Ellie is. At first, he thinks she's dumb, naive, and wants nothing to do with her. She's a burden, a promise made...and just cargo. But, he's transforming, emerging from his cocoon...it's so beautiful to watch. 😭
"Hi, we're Apocalypse Knees, we just need a one word prompt to get started!"
As a KC native, so happy to see them change it from Pittsburgh to Kansas City. KC doesn't get as much love as it should.
If I had to guess what that underground thing is, I would go with the huge fungi monster that was shown in one of the trailers. Sh*t is about to go down, at least the wait wont be as long this time.
20 years in this hell there are no normal people anymore. Everybody should be paranoid.
Ellie is that kid from Home Alone that bothers the Airport Shuttle driver.
I'd like to think, Joel was able to relax and fall asleep so he wasn't as alert and wired for sound like he normally is because of that last interaction before he fell asleep😎. Dude probably had not giggled like that in 20 years. Crazy how they have similar scenes in the last couple of episodes and be completely impactful and be completely different. 🤘🔥🤘
walking on broken glass got me.... same spirit. hahaha
"Life of Brian" ooofff too soon 😂😂🤣
Adam: I'm gonna fix it!
Jay: I'm gonna wreck it!
A Brian from Kansas City here (Overland Park). Grew up on the Missouri side and can confirm Kansas side is better. Also, can confirm, finding the exit back to the highway from the city with a map (even with Google Map directions) suuuuuucks here. If you don't know the area, you will get lost. Also, I'm Team-Not-Shoot-Or-Knife-Brian. ;) I don't see many big budget films/shows focus on Kansas City, so it was really exciting to see so many familiar spots, like the roller coasters at World's Of Fun, or one of the Love's Arby's truck stops. Lot of memories.
You guys make me so happy. I can’t even tell you how much it helps to watch you when I need a mental pick me up. You’re the opposite of toxic masculinity. I freaking LOVE you!!!!
Thank you Jay, for introducing me to the term "passenger princess" because it's 1000% me and I'm definitely sharing it with my husband 😂
Joel is constantly reminding me of Malcolm Reynolds.
Pedro Pascal reminds me of a combination of Matthew McConaughey, Burt Reynolds, Nathan Fillion, and occasionally my dad. And it WEIRDS me out!
"Operation : Annie Lennox " just destroyed me! Standing Ovation for that one!
There is something so catchy about the intro. I often find myself singing along... Jay...and Adam...it's.... previewed!
Just a heads up! The next episode will air on this Friday as the super bowl is on Sunday.
There's a Bloater under that sinkhole
As someone that lives right outside of KC I was screaming directions at the screen
That Annie Lennox reference was spot on. 👌
yea, I started replaying last of us remastered, and passed the part where tess dies, and they literally just have her try to kill the people that come to the fedra building, trying to trade, and they just kill her, and you see her dead body when leaving the building. on this balcony area above her.
This year's Emmy winner for best actor is ..
a tie 😳 between Pedro Pascal in 'the last of us' and ... Pedro Pascal in 'the mandalorian' 😅
Better Call Saul would like to have a word with you.
Team knife Bryan. You need every bullet you can get in this game. 😆
Padro Pascal is a shoe in for an Emmy this year
Best full episode setup for a poop joke. 🤣
It's Emergence Day, Adam. Grab your Lancer. Time to slaughter some Locust.
Any cross country journey inevitably necessitates crossing rivers, which means crossing bridges, which, all too often, means getting thru cities.
As soon as I saw her pull out *THE* joke book I actually threw my fists sky high. And I’m so glad that they added the diarrhea joke because I was afraid they would *run* out of ideas.
But seriously, this show is so insanely faithful to the game that it doesn’t feel like a show but almost like an expansion pass/extended cut of the game. Even though I do miss the scene of Joel teaching Ellie how to use a rifle and then saying “No matter what happens, you make every show count” I still love him teaching her how to use the pistol because a) it shows the bond between these two growing and b) it tells the audience that Ellie had some training from FEDRA so her learning quickly feels natural.
And now we are getting to see the more human side of the people who were trying to kill Joel and Ellie in Kansas City (instead of Pittsburgh like in the game). Neil Druckman and Craig Mazin said their inspiration came from how throughout history there have been cases where the revolution that usurps a repressive regime becomes just as bad if not worse than the previous regime. Also loved that we got to see Jeffery Pierce (aka Tommy from the games) finally show up in the show as Perry the right hand man of Kathleen.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
oh wow LION'S CHOICE!! Best Roast Beef sandwiches in the Midwest! Loved this episode, really building their relationship and introducing the many human enemies they'll have!
I look forward to this almost as much as the episode itself. Happy Monday guys ❤️
There's actually a few Lion's Choices in KC now. I'm in a burb to the east and I have one 5 mins from my house. Never been though. Not a big fast food eater.
Oberon. That's my boy's name suggestion. Even the kids who tease him, by calling him Oberon Kenobi, will realize that he's still kinda cool!
I need a shirt made with "There is a lot of Bryans in Boston"
Thanks guys, i can;t get that song out of my head now!
You guys rock. Always happy when a new video drops! Hope you both had a great, mushroom free weekend!
Yeah, you know where Henry and Sam are in the video game... heading down to Costco now to buy a metric ton of tissues for the next episode.
"there are no footsteps in this game! Fix your game!" that's the apex legends player talking Adam
That Annie Lennox joke had me rolling - well played sir
They told you what Henry did right at the beginning when they were introduced
Love the D&D references. And I would totally watch The Last Arby's.
...Have we had a workplace comedy set in a zombie apocalypse yet?
you would think prepper bill would have run flat tyres on his truck.
I’m team knife Brian too. Amo is in short supply and shooting gives away your position.
Which was something that was confirmed in The Last of Us Podcast.
The were Starbucks in Boston, and the QZ is a walled off section of Boston.
That be a Bloater under that ground. It's about to get super real
I don't even remember if Kathleen is in the game, but I love her role! I was watching this episode with my mom and she said: "It's interesting, because she just looks like a regular housewife." And it shows that everyone hardens in this world. Like that could've been my mom in an apocalypse yk
She was not. None of the hunters here had any depth, so it's nice to see them flesh it out. The overthrowing of Fedra was present in the background.
@@user-jt1js5mr3f That's so cool! I can commend them for overthrowing FEDRA
@@greenapple1470 well, until they become worse
Imagine how much of a headf*** that pun book is for the translators!
Ellie had me cackling this episode. I felt bad for the guy she shot. But I loved seeing her and Joel bond. And I’m interested in learning more about the rebels and Henry and Kathlene’s story. No spoilers I haven’t played the game. I just binged all 4 episodes today because I love Pedro and the show is relevant to today and my field of study. Kinda. And the accessible version of the game comes out on pc in March. Did we get episodes on Saturday and Sunday this week? They mentioned 2 episodes. But man this show is so good!
Ellie pulled her knife from her bag but then swapped it for her gun offscreen. Luckily we don't have to wait a whole week to see 1x05. HBO has announced that we're getting it on Friday due to the Superbowl.
Adam……she might be a child of the apocalypse but she is still a teenager. That is how she made ‘that’ joke
It’s not just Karen, it’s Mad Max Karen.
I love how when after wrecking the truck and they get in that fire fight. The way the enemies curse at Joel sounds just like in the game. I just thought it was neat
We need a compilation of react memes to this series. Sooo many great memeble moments.
Also, I've just realised. Anyone here played the games? So you know the way Ellie will end up. A lot of people prefer Ellie from the first game rather than second but I don't. In the second game they fixed the ludonarrative dissonance that existed between the plot and the gameplay... Do you know what I mean?
And I really like how the show is leaning into that straight away!
Annie Lennox reference. Chef’s kiss. Then singing followed, not needed, but appreciated. #walkingonbrokenglass
Man, that gas scene...gas has a shelf life 😂 Like a few MONTHS. Twenty years on, there's no way that sludge is even combustible.
Now I want a beef and cheddar...thanks Jay!
was waiting for this! :D
