Every word and beat deserves your attention all of it and if you're not prepared to surrender

3:56.8

I go that's bullshit. You gotta tell us and David Chase, who was in France at the time, I remember coming out cuz he knew that opera people are outraged, and he goes I understand you people invested all this time in this character and some level you must have liked 20 soprano you were sympathetic and he just wants his brain splattered like what is that about like maybe you should look inward at yourself and I'm like, now these artistic creators getting me these excuses like this is your way of not having an open ending but the more I thought about though I said you know what of course it's a genius ending and then I watched it again and I go now that's pretty brilliant and you know why I really know it's brilliant because it's 2020

4:26.8

and people still talk with the soprano's ending so that that means it's a great ending cuz it was unusual and it was unique it was different and people still talk about it. Another great ending breaking bad again as Christus said he didn't watch the show but it's a great ending and Vince Gill and I think knew he goes alright David Chase took a lot of heat for the sopranos for the open ending I'm gonna type every loose end we figure what happens is Walter the money Walter his wife Walter his kid Jesse Pinkman he gets away Walter dies last shot like there's no loose ends like dude this is the story Walter white case closed and I thought I thought it was

4:56.8

an excellent ending better call Saul very good ending earlier this season we talked about that Bob Odin Kirk love him and what they did there now of course there's some criticism people if you say one of the some of the worst endings of shows people talk about loss people get very mad at lost people aren't crazy book Game of Thrones if you want to have comedies

5:13.6

sign false on my favorite shows terrible finale like even if the state of the come my god the last was the side was horrible like they're all in jail like that that wasn't funny that wasn't charming

5:21.1

deadwood which is a show I love was truncated because they didn't know the show wasn't gonna get picked up so it was a bad ending so didn't end then they came back for dead with the movie kind of wrapped things up so what a succession do we have the open any like sopranos or because the show is called succession somebody better succeed and what was really funny in this last week was as you know you can

5:41.6

game on everything I was laughing at all the bets there's a lot of bets on team Kendall Jeremy strong bets for shiv bets for Tom and what that they would win yeah

5:50.6

who's that going no like what like what is there something there right a little brief for the people that haven't watched it like what was the so their company

5:57.4

way stars being sold to mats and Alexander scars guard and Kendall and Roman that's here in callkins character are trying to block the sale so that block

6:05.1

the sale they'll keep the company at and as the news division and they'll go from their shiv who is their sister is working with Matt's and mankins the guy who's elected the presence of

6:13.8

a betting old man can's going to win somehow election will be overturned definitely parallels to 2016 Trump etc so going into the episode my boy who's was visiting by the way

6:21.9

I remember previous guest here in cinematics and actor is great he was visiting for me a couple days and we were talking about it and he said when it

6:27.5

happened I said well I think Kendall's going to win he said well why I said well it goes but this very simple theory when you look at the show big picture what what's the show going to be

6:35.4

known for Brian Cox who's this legendary character actor has been great for a lot of years man hunter etc he gets the role of a lifetime and really kind of got a swagger back

6:45.6

you know the guy's like 70s 80s whatever he is but now he's doing Shakespeare again he's been other movies like Brian Cox came back

6:50.7

up the role of a lifetime and also made a star at a Jeremy strong Jeremy strong had a punchable faced and also became a guy that's

6:56.3

now in Aaron Sorkin movies he was in that James Gray film which we had on Sina Fowl talking about our again time so I think the writers when they're sitting there

7:02.1

go like even when you're writing you kind of develop a soft spot for characters you know what man like Jeremy's kind of the break

7:07.3

on star of the show like 10 years from now Jeremy strong so I'm really good actor I'm not sure what some of the other guys like

7:11.9

Karen Culkin with college brother me just to go to a couple movies and probably that'll be it but Jeremy's like our guy so I'm like I think

7:17.2

as a writer you kind of develop feelings for characters and Kendall's had the richest character arc he's been up he's been down he
