Number two, what we like to do is imagine you just got done watching a TV show or a film with your friends. You'll get a little bit off topic, but eventually you'll circle back around. That's what we like to do, isn't it? No.

Yeah. On this episode, we're reviewing Peacemaker and Demon Slayer season two, Women's Pool spoilers. It is, in fact, Demon Time. Erwin, what's a relationship with the anime?

I have no relationship with anime. Don't phrase it like that. We have to review the thing that's anime. So you kind of have to admit the fact that you have seen it.

Guys, I want to animate. What's your favorite one, like ever? Is it not right now? Yeah.

If you were a SpongeBob, if somebody were to run up to you and be like, what's your favorite? Give me a real one. No, like, have you seen those anime shows that they made? Yeah, they're great.

I don't know what YouTube is, but they're awesome. Just look up SpongeBob anime. It looks amazing. I love that.

They're really cool. Does that make sense? No. Sad.

It's like one of my favorite shows. Yeah. No. I kind of think right now.

I mean, I guess so far, I really love my hero academia. Yeah. Just because I make every character so important. So our kind of like, the way that we watched my hero was pretty cool because I had watched the entirety of like, where was that at that point?

Season three. Season three. Yeah. And we watched season two and three together.

Yeah, we watched like all the season, I think like halfway through season three. It was like after the fight with all my one for all. Since we're trying to avoid like, spelling anything specific since we're not talking about that one in particular, I highly recommend it by the way. I'd also call it my favorite, I think, but I'm incredibly biased towards superhero things.

However, what did you think of the first season of Demon Slayer? I know we reviewed the movie and the movie is incredible. But yeah, what did you think of season one of the show? I thought it was slow at first.

But I think like towards the end, when we saw the El Meet was one another, like a friend's, Tanjiro. Tanjiro. I want to sit like for an outside that way. Yeah.

An diro. Anosuke. Anosuke. Yeah, it's cool.

An Ezuko. And then what's the guy with the electric? Zenitsu. Yeah.

When they all meet with like, you know, once they become friend like, we're together, and at the very one, they have to have like the whole arc and trying to feed that one demon. Yeah. Like, I thought it was like, this is amazing. It's like, it's insane how it looks.

That's where it got me off guard. I'm like, it's so beautifully made. It is one of the most beautiful shows I've ever seen. It is at all points.

Like, it's clear to me, you've never seen Hawkeye with Hayley Steenfeld. Well, Hayley Steenfeld is an actress, and yes. I was like, you agree with me. I do agree with you.

100%. OK, let's call it a year, Daniel. What would you do? OK, what would I do with what?

If Hayley Steenfeld showed up to your door right now. Cry. Do cry. Do that makes me sleepy.

I don't know where I would rush the door. I like this not fucking door. Because all these hypothetical situations are going to be, I'm like, what the fuck are they at my house at all? Oh, look at the door.

Do you have something to worry? I don't live with her. I swear. I'm just visiting with the weekender.

Wait, my parents asked. Boy, there's Steven Slayer's beautiful. Just like you. Not everyone.

I'm talking to the audience. OK. You two are one. Thanks, man.

Yeah, no problem. That'll force. My experience with it was our. Yeah, but nobody asked, right?

Here's my experience, right? You already told me his experience with Steven Slayer. Right? And what I finally got to experience it, right?

I thought it was one of the best enemies ever. I was like, why are you doing it? Don't look at me like that. I was just glad of you.

Because I mean, no, it's true. I agree with everything you just said. Wow. I can't wait to read what I just said.

Well, no. OK, so my experience. I'll go put it out. Your experience.

OK, pal. Is our friend Aaron is 100% like anime person. Like the person you go to, you're like, what do you think of this? He's probably seen it.

Like a I can qualify myself that way with movies. I feel although, I can tell you something I haven't seen right now. I haven't seen death on the Nile. I don't know how that is.

I heard it was good. I thought you were a movie guy. Oh, no. What do you think of Avatar?

What's the next one coming up? I don't know. This year? Yeah, I think I hope it gets delayed forever.

Do James Cameron just really need to jump on another movie? It's going to end up being great and end up looking stupid. Like a big fat dumb dumb. I think what's going to happen, right?

I feel like the next one is probably going to be as good as the first one. But even the first one isn't the best movie of all time. Yeah. It's not like the thing about the first Avatar is it is revolutionary and groundbreaking for its time for visual effects.

Yes. It ushered in the stupid annoying 3D era that I only think works a couple of times. But since it was so popular, do you remember how much tickets cost for 3D movies? They were like $14.

Although it's funny, comparatively, the matinee would be $9 and now if it's bumped up to the matinee now, what did I pay for on charge? $9 or something? It's like $10 or $11. Yeah.

Well, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, Sunday nights. They're like 10 or 12. They definitely bumped it up a couple of dollars. It's cool, though.

Get a college discount, pay $5 every time. Awesome. Tell them that you go somewhere. I'm not sure if they'll give you discount.

I don't know. You're so proof? No. I've never had a show proof once.

You just tell them, oh, I go to the ticket. You don't tell shit to show them the ticket. Like, on the fan dango, it doesn't really say that, you know, this is a college student's ticket. Oh, that'd be weird.

No, but he told me to watch this because I was like, hey, I want to watch a show called Goblin Slayer. Like, I heard it was good. And I saw the first episode. That was not very into it.

But think about anime, like you said, the first season, this was slow. Typically, with drama, one hour shows, I give it like a two, three episode sort of limit. If it does not grab my attention by after that, I don't continue. Unless I hear that season one is bad, the rest of it's great, which is annoying when it happens.

That is annoying. And with anime, I kind of give it a four or five episode, sort of like weight. And this shows, I mean, it does start off a little slow, but I kind of the hook immediately of like, his entire family dying, and you're sort of like, what is this? And also the way looks, of course.

Like, not very many shows look the way the show looks. Because I don't know how you say a UFO table. It's what it's pronounced UFO. But yeah, it says UFO and then table is the rest of it.

I just don't know how you say it in the context. But Aaron was like, hey, I just watched the show the previous night that you're looking at me like that. The previous night called Demon Slayer. We should watch that instead.

Because they slay demons instead of goblins. It's demon time. Aaron came out of his room and he was like, it's demon time. Nice.

And then he put on demons. Every Sunday. Actually, I don't know when the episodes come out like 12, although the season ended. And I think it's episode 19 of season one.

If you just say episode 19, people know what you're talking about. It's Demon Slayer season one. And it's that episode in the, where are they? In a forest?

Oh, yes. Yeah. And it's that big, great sort of sweeping. Also, the music in this show is phenomenal.

It is so good. Who's your favorite character? And season one at least. Because he's in two.

What's his name? Netsu. Netsu. Netsu.

Yeah. I love his. I love the fact that he's so scared. But when he's asleep, he's like, he's like that one great move.

And I love that line from his teacher. That he always says like, how do you hone like one skill, like skill to perfection? He's like beating in like a sword over and over again until it's perfected. So I just focus on that one skill.

It's perfected so much, where it's just like, you know, you master it, right? Like he masters that one skill only while he's asleep. That's true. Now I'm just like, I love that so much.

No, in season two, as much as I love is in his fights, season two, I was like, oh, cool. They introduced new stuff and whenever he fights in that. But season one, like when it really, really drew me in, was when they introduced in no-skate in that, like, moving the mansion that they're in. That, like, he beats the drums into flip-side sideways.

That's why a lot of Shonen is, it was like action anime. It's sort of, I don't want to call it samey, because that feels like too generalized, but they are cut from the same cloth, typically. Like my hero, Naruto, Demon Slayer, they all have this thing where they're like, we want to be the best at this thing, or they all have a goal. And Demon Slayer, I think, differentiates itself in that way of doing it.

But in that, like, Hanjo has one goal in his top. That's what I'm trying to. Pretty much. Yeah.

I bet they're not the very beginning of the game because they're like, like, why don't you two? On my best. Yeah. And like, he's doing right.

That's what he was saying. Oh no, let's fight. My hero academia in Kankupando are the same. I mean, change my mind.

I got you. Who is that? I don't know. It looks like Bill Eker.

Bill Eker? Who is that? I don't know. Do you make up a guy?

I know. It's a guy from... Oh, it's a guy from... Billy Eichner.

That guy. Yeah, the one who goes on streets, the other people. He looks like that guy. All right.

Dakota would know this. He said his name one time, I was like a real person. You ever show a me, your mom and she's like, you know them? I'm like the person in the me.

And she's like, who took this? Who made this picture? No, we went on something like that. Really?

Yeah. We all had the same mom. No, whatever. People thought we were for a while.

I remember like middle school. Oh yeah. Yeah. Are we?

What are you asking me? You never know. Which of the season two? It was bad.

Oh no. It was great. It definitely felt... I was on shorter.

Yeah. I mean, which I thought it was a plus because then it felt like those arts and the characters that, you know, they showcased again. It felt like we had more time to spend with them, which is... Yeah.

Because I gave them last time, of course. Well, they compressed this season, not because they're like, oh shoot, we've made the movie, so now we have a shorter season. It was more so that I understand why they made Moog and Train a movie. Like, it's one setting pretty much.

Yeah. And I think the thing they want to do here is after this, I'm pretty sure they want to do another movie and then another arc. And then I think the show ends because I asked someone who read this already, like all of it because it's all completed. They said that the show is more than halfway done already.

And I was like, really? And I was like, that's really fast. And I think that's perfect because a lot of anime doesn't really... No, you, me?

You're perfect. Aw, thank you. Happy Valentine's Day. That was on Monday.

No. You want me to ask you what you did again? Nah, you. Key or car.

Their car. His car. I really love the season too. Yeah, me too.

It is very flashy. You get it because he says that a lot. Yeah, what's the name of the character? Tengen Uzui.

Oh, wow. You remember that. Yeah, because he's awesome. He's my wallpaper.

I want to be him. That's not true. Whatever message you. Yes, three, one.

I told someone I was like, the show hadn't ended yet. And they were asking me what I thought. I was like, oh, you cut up on demons there? Like, of course.

It was in the middle of the fight with... Your parents? Dang, you used to use your taxes right away. Mom, I just needed to finish demons later.

Mom, I don't need a 401k. What I need is to finish demons later season two. Demon time. Mom, I'm on demon time right now.

I love him, but I told them I was like, I love that character. And they were like, you're just like him because he has his lives. He's awesome, but also yes. I know, I love them.

I love that he comes with a crew of people. His lives and the little muscle dudes. When they show up, I was like the fact that they're there. Did you see the TikToks?

The way I had that spoiled for me is because it took me a few weeks to catch up. I saw a TikTok of it and then they were like, my original physicals. It was a picture of Chris Bum said or something. I was like, now my physicals.

And it's a picture of the buff mice. When I first saw it in the show, I was like, what the heck is that? I was like, what is this? I think he texted me.

I was like, muscle mice. He saw me. He just goes, muscle. I was like, nice.

I was also part of the draw of Shonen and Animes. There's such a huge crossover between Jim Dudes and Animes. It's funny. It's the same how strong it is.

Like the bond between Jim Brad and Anime. I think it's also due to the fact of how much time Jim Brad spends by themselves. The shows are highly motivational, whether or not they've been to beat. I went for this article about this guy that was bald.

Not even joking. It was part of the point that he was bald. He was like, I started watching Dragon Ball Z and I saw the bald guy. And he was like, I like this physique and I wanted to be like him.

So what I would do is first he would be on the treadmill and he'd be watching anime. He'd be watching Dragon Ball Z while he was there. And then he was like, well, we live the weights. So guys are doing that.

And the correlation there between like anime dudes working out because there's always like the scene. Like this one has one in season two where I'm like, like 14 and they'll have like peak the seats. Yeah. I can't even imagine when they hit puberty.

I know. Although I don't think the show's going to move past them when they're like, I don't know. I couldn't tell you where the show will end or not. But that like that fight blew my mind.

Oh my God. Yeah. I watched it again yesterday. Yeah, though.

Just the one episode or like all the episodes. No, that one episode. Okay. Yeah.

Cause I feel like that fight was like half the season. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Every episode I was glad I was able to binge all of it because I can't imagine watching a week to week basis with that show because I mean a lot of shows do that where like the end of the cliff fingers and you're like, oh my God, what's happening next? Like right now with Attack on Titan. Oh, right. Yeah.

So being able to watch the entire show Demon Slayer or like the new season right away. It was just great cause it's like cause it did feel like just one continuous scene. But of course it was like, I was like different episodes. There was one cliffhanger cause I did watch a week to week where it's the shot of Uziuhi's hand and then it's like the two people saying you know, you gotta be fucking kidding me.

And I really actually appreciate the art of like a good cliffhanger. Like cause it makes you realize, well, I'm in the best. Yeah. Like Attack on Titan.

I'm like, well, every week I'm like, what the hell? And then you have to wait a couple days. Well, right now that show ends what medieval. I'm not ready for that show then.

Me too. I know. I'm excited to talk about it though. I'm not sure.

We've never fully gone in depth. I'm like the whole show really. Yeah. But I kept like hearing that oh people only like this show for its animation.

Like well, it's no. Like it's a plus. But I mean, you know how with everything that gets popular people come out of the woodwork and be like that thing is popular. So I hate it.

Like euphoria is one of them. Actors that tends to happen a lot of them. And he's like, what do you mean like wearing a ball C? You were a regional state.

God. Sorry to do it. I mean, it goes on you. Hard flex.

Oh, you like Goku? All right. Maybe push up right now. Name everyone.

There's different go comes. There are actually. Oh crap. If you were like Dragon Ball Z so much name every super sane form.

Like do it there. They're called called like say in blue or like shit like that. Oh, wow. You're in we bro.

We're literally talking about. It's interesting. Like thinking about it all at once. I'm like, well, what could you talk about necessarily like?

I mean, I loved the Zeni Susef. I loved the Inosuke stuff. The whole thing where I maybe realized the show has like genuine enough stakes that if a character were like to be teased to be dead, I believe them. Like whenever they tease sort of Inosuke dying.

Oh my God. I got so scared. I, the only reason why I was like, I don't think that's happening here at least. Like that happened.

Definitely. It's just that the arc moves so fast. Like the first episode is like an hour long and the last episode is like what 30, 40 minutes and like that. Yeah.

I like that this show is paced a bit more like serialized American television where genuinely the ending of this season, it feels complete. Like I don't know if they intended for it to feel like like a one continuous experience. Like you said, but they felt like this one could have also been a really long movie. I don't know what the counts is in terms of the minutes.

Hour and a half. I doubt that. Also, I like to say like the demons themselves. Yeah.

The very end right before they just completely die. They like show like the background and like the back story. And I don't know. It's weird seeing how the writers of this just make it where even with Peacemaker.

No, yeah. When they make us sympathize with the antagonist of whatever the show is. It's insane lately. And genuinely those two demons, I forgot that demons did this.

Like because it had been such a large amount of times since season one. Oh yeah. But I was like those spider demons made you care about them. And I like to make them not unlikeable because I really loved both villains in this even when they were just kind of people and nothing else.

But when they do that whole flashback thing in the last episode I was like damn now. I was like they are making you care. And then whenever they fade away and she's like saying the stuff like I don't want to go or whatever it is that they start saying. And then it's that like thing that he says like I wonder if they made up.

That's great. I really love that. I just love when Tondero comes to his mouth before he starts saying things like you shouldn't be saying that. Or is that like that or sister?

I was like damn. Because he kept saying that stuff. I think it shows part of the whole point of Tondero like going off of my memory of moving train. That's sort of like part of the plot point is that whenever he's stuck in the dream he's very kind of compassionate about demons as well.

Because he's like well they were people. And I love the thing where he starts to live. That's only because he's biased because his sister was also human. I think that's like part of the point though is that.

I agree with everything you just said. No I own. Because the reason why he's separated from what the Hashira think of the demons right is that they just kind of generalize them is like other all evil. But like Uzzubi sort of thinks that too of his sister whenever she goes demon mode.

Oh my god. And turns like 19 or whatever. Why are you talking about that? Because that's what happens.

He turns like 19 when she turns demon. Apparently somebody I read that somewhere. I don't know like. Was it actually candy though?

I didn't need to look that up. I can't say yes. But like physical appearance is older for sure. And he's like hey I asked you to be fleshy not your sister.

I thought that was awesome. I don't know what arcs are like left. But if we were to get people mad at us what would you hypothesize is happening next? I really hope I see more.

Is that Natsu and Uzzubi? Oh yeah. Honestly because they haven't been really showing a lot of them. I really want to see what else they can bring.

That's true. Honestly seeing Natsu just be fully awake and being able to do those moves. I'm hoping that's his character growth. It occurred to me at the end.

He spent this entire season this week. I'm just like what? Because once he started yelling and screaming. I don't have a problem with that.

I know some people have issues with characters like that. Plus I love him. I love his fascination with his sister. You always need that character.

It's like a trope in anime pretty much. I don't know where it's headed. I don't like to guess stuff. Even though I asked you.

What? Well. You want to talk about Peacemaker? No.

I'm a Peacemaker. There's one I think we're Peacemakers going to end. Everyone fucking dies. No.

I think. John Cena becomes cool. He's already cool. What do you think of it?

Do you think I can act? Yes. He's a great actor. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

You want to tell me questions here, man? You want to tell that? Sorry? Not really.

I'm not really okay. I'll look at Dolly's on her toes. Well, I love Peacemaker. I guess I always forget until I watch a James Gunn movie is how he makes every single character likeable.

No matter how much screen time they get. So I spent a genuine amount of the show like really liking it. But I mean, it didn't hit me until the last episode that I was like, I love this show. I was like, I love all of these characters because the moment they, this is another one where they do this, they tease that vigilante guys.

I was like, no. I was like, that can't happen. Or whenever they do it with hardcore too. Why?

Because I really like that character. That's it. Yeah. Okay.

That seems good for you. I do know that, right? Okay. Just making sure you don't.

All right. Don't worry, you're going to protect you. I think John Cena is great in this. I think that's the part of the surprise me is, I think I shouldn't be surprised that James Gunn does this.

He can inject a genuine emotion into really just characters like anywhere. I think part of the thing is that a lot of his stuff is very funny. And I think that sort of makes you care because that's like, I don't know, I feel like that's empathy of a sort. The fact that like you can make these characters really funny and you laughing at the things they say, but then the moment he can switch up and change the tone and things are more serious, you genuinely care about them.

It's something that he- That's something that the emotions work. Yes. Well, something that the DCEU, like I have no idea how the fuck- DCEU? Ooh, ooh, ooh.

Okay. I don't know like what's canon in DCE anymore, honestly. If they don't want to acknowledge like the fucking Justice League or in this. That was crazy.

I'm not mad that I had that room for me because it's really not like a big part of the show. I'm not like, oh gosh darn it, the whole last episode was the Justice League. They're in it for like two seconds. I like the joke that they make with Aquaman.

Oh yeah. It's a good joke. And the fact that Henry Cavill just isn't around ever, but they keep showing imagery of Superman so who knows. I also really like the villains in this.

Yeah. Did you like his dad? Do I like his dad? Yeah.

I like his actions. Well, I mean, no, not condoning. Yes, I did. I like the fact that they didn't, I guess like make a sympathize with his dad, but more so understanding why my peacemaker himself does what he does just based off of like what his dad did to him when he was growing up.

Yeah. And they definitely showcased a lot on like, I think it was like episode seven, I think it was. Whenever they were like, finding with one another and it was directionally more about like, what happened with his like big brother? The flashback, right?

Yeah. I was like, yeah. I know, I totally agree. I know.

I never listen with Eigly. I love the joke that made me laugh really hard. It's like in the last episode where it reminded me of Guardians of the Galaxy 2, which you don't like as much as the first one. What's your problem?

I still love that movie. It's just, I love the first one board. Where like, he's like, do this. They reminded me of the scene where he keeps trying to get group to take the, wow, so basic of you.

So every single Marvel fan loves that scene. You're so, you're so basic when it comes to like picking like a real scene. I love this scene. I love this scene.

Sure. Well, what is this? You're the one calling yourself out right now saying you're the one that's basic. You know what?

Maybe I am. I think basic things are basic for a reason. I think you're mid. What?

That is the worst. I hate that turn. I hate it. Daniel takes one English class and all of a sudden he's like, I hate that from an audience.

One English class. You about to fucking. Let's go. Let's go.

Go down there. You want to know my primary languages that I speak. Spanish. Spanish.

Not Tony. I'm telling you. I'm telling you. I like Antonio.

He's a great actor. Five movies. Five movies. Spike is one to three.

Oh shoot. That one's zero one. And what's it called? Pedro.

I'm all over the bars. We just saw him. I said his name wrong. I wanted to be cool.

I think it's the name of it. Yeah. 2019. Yeah.

I like vigilante and piece of paper as well. Vigilante surprised me. Honestly, I watched it with Dakota. He said he was Deadpool, but cool.

I was like, yeah, I mean I don't hate Deadpool. I don't know. I think it's been a while since we've seen Deadpool as well. But I think with vigilante it's just the fact that he still didn't have any of those powers as Deadpool did.

That's true. And so he's still human just with that whole mind thing that he has. I think my genuine concern about Vigilante is like, oh no, he's not going to be annoying. And then he instantly turned into one of my favorite characters.

Is he my favorite? Well, he's my favorite. No, he's my favorite. He's like a character.

He's funny. Every give a hug. And then the piece maker and he was starting to get photo. That was hilarious.

Eagly wasn't the one trying to take a photo. Yeah, it was too good. Yeah. Who's your favorite character?

Eagly. What? Yeah, Eagly's my favorite character. Okay.

I got confused. What's what? Because you were like, Eagly trying to take a picture. No, I was giving a piece maker a hug.

Or was taking a photo while. Right, right. So I think we mentioned this on something we reviewed before. But the blurring of special effects between movies and TV shows is like non-existent for me now.

Like, the special effects on the cow thing were like, that thing was grotesque looking, but the special effects on it are incredible. I don't even think about that anymore. You know how CW has the Flash and it looks like that right now? Yeah.

I still love the first season. I can always defend the first season in the Flash because I have that on Blu-ray. I just love it. That's like one of the perfect origin stories when it comes to like, Barry Allen and all that.

I even love season two. Season two is where you get King Chirks. That's true. Yeah.

Even though he's done way better in the Suicide Squad. And I want to watch that again. Also, maybe really want to watch that movie again. If you want to make me want to James Gunther to direct more side characters like that.

The characters are not very known in the DC Universe and just makes it where it's like, now it's like a established character. That's insane. Yeah. Well, I know part of the issue that people have with certain things right now is they announce movies and then they get ahead of themselves and they start announcing TV shows for the side characters that are in the movies.

Yeah. And this was the first one kind of in that trend. And I know a lot of people- You mean trench? The one they're doing with the awkward movie?

No, they canceled that. Oh, they did? Yeah, because honestly it didn't really make sense. It does not make sense.

Like, I loved that scene. What was that gonna be? Or the producers thinking when they watched the movie? That's the movie.

Like, you can make set pieces. But it made me think about James Gunn doing every single- I think they're gonna do a show with every single character that's in. Like, can a imagine jingle be tired? But then I was like, well, they made this show this good.

Maybe they could. I don't know. Yeah, but that's because James Gunn wrote every single episode. And they announced season two and he's gonna write and direct every single episode.

Yes, they go. I hope they keep that intro. I love that song. I love it.

I almost get it. Yeah. I got into an argument about someone about hair metal. Do you like old 70s, 80s rock?

Yeah. Yeah, it's really good. They were like, no, it's not like a- Really? Yeah.

Yeah. You're working out with women in your gym? What? That's the optimal training.

Distraction. Not optimal performance. But you couldn't hit a P.O. that women.

You know what? I don't have many issues with the show. Do you have any major problems with it? Not really.

I feel like every character's stood out to me. You're like, I was- With the big beard. I love him. Oh my god, the last episode with him.

That made me cry. Oh my god. That was the other thing that occurred to me. I was like, the fucking- If you really think about the dialogue he's saying, he's talking about how he doesn't die his beard with more expensive dye.

He eats matter. And he's a lad. What's bat mite? That one I couldn't tell you off the top of my head.

He was bat man-related, bat man-adjacent. I thought it was funny that one scene, I was wondering if it was improv, where he lists off 80 people or whatever. You know what I'm talking about? 80 people.
