0:00.0	Welcome to Sky Talkers. Here are your hosts, Charlotte and Caitlin. Hello and welcome to Sky Talkers. I'm your host, Charlotte and Caitlin. Hello and welcome to Sky Talkers. I'm your host, Charlotte and Caitlin.
0:21.5	Hello and welcome to Sky Talkers. I'm your host Charlotte.
0:24.2	Hey, everyone. I'm your other host, Caitlin. And welcome to our Ackleight coverage. It's here. It's
0:30.1	finally here. We're covering the Acolyte. Episodes 1 and 2, the premiere that just came out
0:35.2	yesterday, June 4th. I've been so ready to talk about this show.
0:40.8	I know. It's actually insane. What can I say about the accolade up top here? Just that I am just so
0:47.7	freaking thrilled that we're here talking about it. I feel like this has been my most anticipated project since it was announced.
0:55.7	I am a big Leslie Headland fan. I loved Russian doll and I felt like this had the potential to be

1:40.0	here. There's definitely going to be some wild Sky Talkers speculation, which I'm excited to really
1:46.3	dig into throughout the rest of the acolyte. It's already started. Charlton and I were texting
1:52.3	last night while we were watching it and new theories were flying. Good not keep up. Voice
1:59.0	memos were going back and forth, texting.
2:01.6	Yeah. It was a lot. Yeah, flying. Absolutely flying. So it's, I'm so thrilled. You probably
2:08.4	know if you follow us on social media, but we did go to the Ackleite premiere like a week
2:12.5	and a half ago at this point. It was awesome. We also watched the first two episodes there.
