This is the Bayonaut podcast with Marty Solman. I'm his co-host, Brent Billings. Today we continue our review of the chosen with a discussion on the fourth episode.

Our full analysis and breakdown of the chosen Marty. So bring us to halfway through season one. Yeah. Hope your listeners are hanging with us.

What a fun experiment. Hopefully people are watching before watching along with us. That would be ideal. Yeah, absolutely.

Because we are like we are going through scene by scene. We're covering the whole episode, but it's a very different experience than watching it.

I can't emphasize enough of you have somehow made it to this point and have not actually watched any of the chosen. Please just stop this episode and go watch because it is great.

Absolutely. I wasn't sure how you were going to lead us through this experience. Brent, but you've done a good job seen by scene.

We have not left anything out. I don't know if you're going to hit hotspots or what we're going to do, but this has worked. Yeah, I don't know how this happened. It's just sort of just sort of how it came out.

But I did do something for the first time with this episode that I hadn't done. So the first three episodes on the special edition discs include commentary tracks with the director and writers and one of the actors in the case of episode three.

And so I've been I've been watching with those commentary tracks in addition to my normal watch through. And then episode four doesn't have one of those commentary tracks. So they have these other things called insight tracks.

And they're like scripture references and other commentary and stuff. And so I watched this episode with that insight track on. And it's like it looks like subtitles.

And they're going through and it is the worst thing I've ever seen. We finally found something that we're like garbage. I don't it. There's no possible way that the people who are doing this insight track have anything to do with the production of the rest of the show.

Because it is just like all the scriptures that they bring up are all of the like pulled out a context proof text nonsense things that I grew up knowing like.

Like if you have no like there are a few good insights about different things. Geographical points that they they bring out like there's a few good things in there.

But if you're completely unfamiliar with any of this stuff. This insight track is going to do way more harm than good.

Well goodness. Like it is it is almost completely worthless. And it is. I've got I've got one that I'm going to pull out at the end of the episode that I'm going to actually like use as an example. It is it is just so cheesy.

It's like some like in between the scriptures like some dude is just like oh making snarky comments as if he's a narrator for the episode or something. It's so bad. It's so bad.

Look out for gay make Brent Billings mad. Just forget about the insight tracks do not bother. I I suffered so you don't have to.

Oh love it. All right. I cannot wait. Now I'm now I'm anxious. Let's do it. Get us into the opening scene. Let's go. All right. Hidden that spoiler horn now.

So episode starts out there on a boat at night. The Roman soldiers are out there with Simon. He spots the fishing barber in the water. They go over there.

He pulls it out as a Z on it. And I don't know how you actually say the I'm assuming it's it's pronounced something like a Z. But it's the Hebrew letter.

And and he kind of seems like maybe he's having second thoughts because he realizes like oh this is Zebedee. This is somebody I know.

Like now I'm here and I'm not sure I really want to do this. And so he's looking around and and tells the the Romans to go hard to port and they're apparently so dumb when it comes to seafaring that they don't even know what port is.
