Summary

On this episode of X-Ray Vision, Jason Concepcion and Rosie Knight cook up some…venison? In the Airlock (0:59), they dive deep (deeep) into HBO’s The Last of Us episode 8, recapping and discussing Joel’s violence, David’s creepiness, and manipulative leadership. Then in Nerd Out (55:29) Jason and Rosie discuss a listener theory that crosses over between Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania and The X-Men.

0:00.0	Warning, this podcast contains spoilers for the last of us episode eight, and potentially some minor spoilers
0:05.6	from Ant-Man and the Lost Quantum Mania in our Nerd Out section. So be warned!
0:09.6	Hello! My name is Jason Concepcion, and I'm Rosie Knight, and welcome to X-ray Vision's
0:30.8	Crooked Media Podcast, where we dive deep into your favorite shows, movies, comics, and pop culture.
0:37.2	In this episode, hope you're hungry, because in the Hello Derser, some delicious venison,
0:45.0	in the Hello, we're talking about the Lost of Us episode eight, and in Nerd Out, it's a theory on
0:50.4	Ant-Man and the Lost Quantum Mania. You might have heard of it. If you want to jump around, as always,

1:46.4	The preacher's name is David. He is the leader of a small Christian fundamentalist group,
1:54.3	whose motto is, When We Are In Need, he shall provide. And David is reading these lines with sadness,

2:13.3	So he's been weighted down with this responsibility, and he's all too familiar with the sadness
2:20.9	that that responsibility brings. There's a young girl and a woman we assume to be her mother,
2:27.8	sitting close to the preacher. They look distraught. He then asks the girl if she remembers what comes
2:33.4	next. She doesn't. So he finishes it for her. He says, and God will wipe the tears from their
2:38.7	eyes, and there will be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying. The former things are passed away.
