| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to Lantern Rouge Cycling podcast, not for a race recap. We will have a Tour de |
| 0:05.8 | Swiss podcast tomorrow. This is a Netflix series recap. Are we branching into movie and |
| 0:11.1 | film reviews or TV show reviews? Tour de France unchained, as promised, Benji and I |
| 0:16.8 | binge it not over the weekend. We did it straight away when it dropped last Thursday at 9am |
| 0:22.4 | European time. And we've got some stuff to talk about. We want to go through the series, |
| 0:26.8 | what we liked, what we didn't like. This is going to be full spoiler mode. So really, |
| 0:31.8 | I mean, I presume if you listen to this podcast, you also watch the race. So it's kind of curious |
| 0:35.8 | having a spoiler warning because the race already happened. But if you haven't watched the series |
| 0:41.0 | and you want to watch it without our thoughts, watch it first. Come back to this pod when you are |
| 0:45.3 | good and ready. There's plenty of time between Tour de Swiss and Tour de France. Benji, how do you |
| 0:49.0 | watch it? One sitting or one day? One day, yes. Not necessarily one sitting. I think I had a |
| 0:56.7 | half an hour pause in between the episodes. I think after episode three, I paused for half an hour, |
| 1:01.8 | but the rest I watched completely. And yeah, that was my experience. I also realized directly that, |
| 1:08.4 | okay, eight episodes I can binge this before I start watching the Dolphin A, which was |
| 1:14.3 | on that day starting at three. So I made sure that I could watch it completely before the Dolphin A. |
| 1:18.8 | That was my goal. Fair enough. I'd already watched the first two episodes. You're going to have to |
| 1:23.2 | brush your stuff. I forgot what happened in A man. Yeah, we're going to go through what we liked, |
| 1:27.2 | the commentator choices, the editorial choices, what the drama who was villainized, did Pergatch's |
| 1:32.8 | absence affect it. What do we think will happen next year? And yeah, just the structure of the |
| 1:37.7 | episodes as well. But if you don't know, it basically started, it focused on the teams. That's |
| 1:43.5 | the format, Benji. It focused on originally supposed to be eight teams, I believe. And then |
| 1:48.8 | Bora Hans-Grower got cut out for whatever reason afterwards. And so there's eight episodes. |
