Podcastica. Fun, in-depth talk about great TV.
Hmm, ah, hmm, podcast to go.
Speaker 2:Welcome to the show. My name is Alex and I'm Lizzie, and we have two people that we're partnering up today with, and I'm going to let them introduce themselves.
Speaker 3:Hi, I'm.
Speaker 4:Stacey. Hi, I'm Dave from the Korn Productions Deep Dive TV podcast.
Speaker 2:And that's right. We are partnering up for season three preview of From. And we figured we've been talking to Stacey and Dave for a while. So we figured what the hell, let's get together and talk a little from. So first, stacey, why don't you tell? And Dave, why don't you tell our listeners a little bit about your podcast and what you guys cover? Because you don't just cover from like we do. Who wants to go first?
Speaker 4:I'll let Stacey start.
Speaker 3:Okay, so, as Dave said, we are Corman Productions Deep Dive TV podcast. We talk about a bunch of different TV shows we will be focusing on From for the fall, obviously because of the new episodes. We're also covering Sullivan's Crossing, which we started doing because Reed Price, tom the Bartender, is on that show, so we started doing that one. And we also cover Quantum Leap the original series from 1989, as well as the revival that aired two seasons on NBC. That's unfortunately been canceled, but we did that. Let's see what else have we done the Sinner, which also had some from peeps on it, so we covered season four of that show, which also had some from peeps on it, so we covered season four of that show. And this fall we're also doing a bunch of movies. We're doing horror movies for October and Thanksgiving movies for November and Christmas and winter holiday movies for December. So we've got lots and lots and lots of stuff going on. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 5:I don't know if I could do that. I would, just I don't know. I need to focus on one thing, so I admire that in your podcast.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I mean, yeah, we have a variety of interests. I never really wanted to be pigeonholed into any one thing, because when that thing ends, then you're done and I kind of just want to keep going. So you know, I have a variety of interests and I enjoy talking with Stacy about all of them. We've been friends for 30 plus years and you know, when it came to like something like Quantum Leap, which we cover, we were talking in shorthand and you know we were finishing each other's sentences without even really you know within. She could say a few words and I would know what she was talking about, and she's the one that introduced me to Frum and I came aboard to talk with her about that and I've had a blast doing it, Wow.
Speaker 5:Yeah, wow, just like us. Alex, I introduced you to Frum. Alex, I introduced you to Frum.
Speaker 2:Absolutely. As the listeners know well, our listeners know I've been listening to Lizzie speak, our podcast for years on a couple of different things, and then we finally I met her in person in Atlanta at a convention and I told her, if you want to podcast on something and she's like I know this show, check it out and tell me what you think. And then all of a sudden, you know, because I'm not into super scary stuff, like you know, we're part of the podcasting network, which is a lot of Walking Dead, all those type of shows, and then stuff that's even grosser than that, and you know I can deal with the psychological stuff, but I think this season might be testing me in a big way, but for those of you who are Mormon people, we are exclusive to From.
Speaker 2:We're part of the podcast network that covers Walking Dead, all the Star Wars stuff.
Speaker 2:Star Wars, we do, yeah. Soka, we've done things. Yeah, I mean it's a whole host of different podcasts. Plus, we have friends of us that have branched off and done their own podcast, like Run For your Lives, which does horror. Adrenaline Cinema that's doing Snowpiercer. I mean it's just it's a lot of good friends getting together, you know, talking about shows that they love, but we're not here to talk about that. We're here to talk about season three of From. And you know, stacey and Dave, what was your first take on? You know the trailers. We had a small trailer and then we had a longer trailer and what did you guys like to think about that?
Speaker 4:Well, it looked intriguing. One of the first things that I noticed and it seems like from actually watching the episode it was a little bit of a mislead that the monsters the monsters were acting differently. They were acting more human, it seemed, and the lighting was bright, so it seemed like it was happening maybe during the day. So I was like what's going on here? But the actual episode the monsters are acting like the monsters, they're not acting human and it's darker. So that was definitely a misdirect in in that case. But it was very, very intriguing.
Speaker 3:I was looking forward to watching the show on the trailers we um we got the right and uh, it was just so exciting. We had what was it like 45 or 50 seconds of new material for the first time in a year and a half and and like the whole internet's just going crazy dissecting it frame by frame, and I think that's like it wasn't even the content, it was just like it's here. There's something new to look at. It was just so exciting. It's like. It's like we're finally here, we're getting some content and we're ready to like get back into the show.
Speaker 2:You're absolutely right, and I think that the trailers kind of I don't know, they kind of got us by surprise, if that makes sense.
Speaker 5:I was surprised at how dark it was looking on both of those trailers and hopeless. That's what was scaring me right, absolutely.
Speaker 2:I mean, they're in a new place. They're definitely in a new place in terms of um, we've got winter, we've got all this stuff, but of that they come out with that first trailer, boyd is crying. The monsters aren't eating them. I think that's. The first thing that I noticed was that they weren't really eating them. They were just trying to torture them, which is a whole set of problems problems they're getting out of resources. It's some dark stuff. What are some of the things that you're looking forward to seeing this year, this season? That's for everyone, even whoever.
Speaker 4:Last season I didn't like Randall as a character very much and I I don't think I'm in the minority there, though there there is. There is some support uh within the facebook groups for not liking his character, but I was intrigued to see where his character goes uh this season after his experiences uh from last season. Like would he change as a character? I didn't expect him to suddenly become a super nice guy or anything like that. I definitely was intrigued to see how what happened to him last season would affect him this season at least in the first episode, like that kind of surprised me that little action he made.
Speaker 5:So and I'm trying not to give anything away, but that did surprise me.
Speaker 4:He does redeem himself a little bit from some of his behavior in the previous season.
Speaker 5:Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it looks like you might see some character growth on him coming. Yeah, Somewhere big and probably dark.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I'm a little worried about her.
Speaker 5:Like she's a newlywed and she's gonna have a baby. Like there's so many places to go with her on that.
Speaker 2:And there's no food.
Speaker 5:Exactly.
Speaker 2:Let's talk about Fatima some more, because there was rumors that her face slash ghost, whatever you want to call it was part of elgin's world and l and you know, when we interviewed, uh, the actor, I'm like you are not allowed to go near water in from ever, because anytime you go near water it's just bad. Do you guys think that Elgin's the product of Ellis and Fatima?
Speaker 4:It's quite possible that the vision that we are seeing is perhaps related to Fatima's pregnancy. There's a lot of speculation going around that the ghost was Fatima herself. I don't necessarily buy that, but I could see this being the child of Fatima herself. I don't necessarily buy that, but I could see this being the child of Fatima and Ellis. Perhaps. Perhaps this is like some kind of future version of that character that we have yet to meet. I think that's possible.
Speaker 5:I keep thinking about that and it's like a brain version of being tongue-tied, because if he is their child and he's gone back in time, then how is it he's on a bus with Christy's current-day girlfriend, right Like how is that?
Speaker 4:Yeah, I don't think that Elgin is Batima and Ellis' child. I don't buy that theory at all and I think the actor doesn't buy that either. But I think the vision of that woman in the kimono, if that's how you say it could possibly be related to Fatima and Ellis' child. Perhaps It'd be wild, but it's possible. Perhaps it'd be wild but it's possible.
Speaker 5:You know, I've been doing a re-watch, uh, alex, and I have been re-watching, uh, season one, which you may or may not know, and I've been keeping track of where we are time-wise. So so I've just started season two and, you know, I'm just reminded at how deep and layered this thing is and it makes me feel like I don't have the capacity to actually put all of this together, because Alex gets on me about this. But it just seems like with every character, almost every object, there is some hidden double meaning, so that when you're looking at any scene, you need to be like all right, right, what is the purpose of that? What does that color mean? Does that cabinet come in somewhere else? Wasn't he wearing that jacket when this like and? And then he's wearing it like? I don't know how they would even keep all of that straight yeah, I don't have to understand anything.
Speaker 4:That's what I have Stacy for. Stacy basically explains everything to me.
Speaker 5:Alright, then I'll just talk to you, Stacy, how. All I'm thinking is that there's one person for every thread and they keep track of everything and it's just driving like.
Speaker 3:I mean, I'm sure some of those details, I'm sure some of them are very intentional and very important. The thing is, not all of them are, and until the series is over and then we know what to look for, we're not going to be able to keep track of what's actually something and what's nothing. But I'm positive, once it's over we'll be able to go back. Once we know the punchline of this series, we'll be able to go back and see things differently and pick up on all those clues that we may or may not have seen or looked at differently, and know what is important and what isn't. And that's something that's kind of exciting to think about is like looking at the story once it is over and having an appreciation of the journey that we don't know we're on right now.
Speaker 5:Right, I mean, do we do another podcast for it?
Speaker 2:Yeah, you do, because, honestly, honestly, I couldn't deal with that. I mean the fact that stacy has a red shirt on and dave has, you know, his his pattern shirt. That means something yeah it does.
Speaker 4:We have no freaking clue what it means stop wearing hawaiian shirts in lissy's world it means uh, this is what I grabbed out of my laundry to wear for this podcast.
Speaker 2:And folks that are listening. You're listening to what is from slash Corman Productions fiasco. I mean joint podcast, and we're trying to cover Lizzie slash Stacy's wacky ass theories. I think that's what the name of the episode should be. But speaking of theories, before we get into all of them, what do you guys think of the one theory that Donna's a mole? Are you guys buying that?
Speaker 4:I don't buy it at all. I don't think there is a mole and I definitely don't think it's Donna. We've seen too many instances where we've seen Donna alone reacting to things and not reacting well for me to buy that she's a mole in any kind of way. But like I said I don't buy that. There's any mole whatsoever.
Speaker 5:I don't know. I kind of think she's like a hostage mole, like she's not on the monster's side, but she's a mole in such a way that she's trapped and being forced to do that. But we still see her honest reactions about all the situations honest reactions about all the situations. Yeah, I mean, I think that she is the product of lack of sleep, lack of food and lots of alcohol.
Speaker 2:Well, I think that the problem is, they push everybody to their brink and people react differently. I mean, everybody would say oh, if I was there I'd do X, y and Z. Well crap.
Speaker 4:You don't know what you do. Those people are thinking from a logical place. They're not in this situation, so they're not really thinking about how they would react in this unique, really strange situation.
Speaker 2:Well, now I'm going to ask this to Stacey, since she's the keeper of secrets for you why the hell don't they talk?
Speaker 5:Dude, I sent you a video about that last night.
Speaker 2:No, no. But my point being is this I'm asking Stacey video about that last night. No, no. But my point being is this I'm asking stacy, like, okay, episode one of season two. Okay, what happens ellis is talking to to boyd. He tells him are the? You know whatever he tells him, everything that's going on and his first reaction is you're nuts. When they've got monsters at night, they can't leave. Like if everybody just talked they'd get a lot more accomplished. You know what do you think about them? Just not talking.
Speaker 3:Well, one thing I think is that they do talk more than they show us, and I think we do get some evidence of that in season three. I've watched two episodes, so I don't remember if that was in episode one or two. Shows you they're talking to each other because there's characters referencing things that we didn't know that they knew. So I do think that they are talking to each other, but they're not wasting their screen time on showing us all of their conversations. So I think we don't know who knows what at this point. But it's like there's two or three days, so there hasn't been a lot of time, Like so much has happened in a couple of days that they're just kind of catching things in passing, you know. So yeah, they obviously need to have some group you know city hall meetings, but I think they know more than we think they know.
Speaker 5:Well, there's a scene where Fatima and elgin are looking at the brundles and fatima says we've all sat around talking about this and so they have done it. And they've done it most likely in colony house, you know, over drinking and smoking, that sort of thing. But we, just like you said, we don't see it.
Speaker 2:I think they're different talks than we, that I'm thinking Like I think they're talking about OK, how do we, you know, what are we going to do with the monsters? Or what are you going to do at this? I don't think they're having the bigger picture of guys. I don't think they're having the bigger picture of guys. I just saw whatever you know and you were by yourself, I don't know. I mean, you could be right and I could definitely be wrong, but who knows.
Speaker 4:I think in the case of what you're talking about, alex, I think maybe they're not having those conversations because there's a lack of trust. They don't trust that the other person is going to hear them and not call them crazy yeah, something along those lines. And I think it's hard to look at the bigger picture when you're under constant stress and duress, as these people are.
Speaker 5:Absolutely. You are so right, dave, you're so right, thank you.
Speaker 2:So, going along with theories, what is your favorite or what theory do you believe? In terms of what theories are you liking?
Speaker 4:Do you believe in terms of what theories are you liking? Well, I'm not the biggest fan of this, but it's the one that makes the most sense. Now is the simulation theory, that this is all some kind of simulation. I don't really love it because sci-fi and horror shows have gone that direction in the past, so I'm kind of hoping that Brom does something more original than that. But that's kind of where I'm leaning at the moment.
Speaker 3:Well, I'm hoping that we get something time travel in there. Oh.
Speaker 5:Stacy, I love it. Yes, I love it.
Speaker 3:I don't know what, though the bracelet. Okay, I'm waiting to come back to the bracelet and I don't know how or why, but I'm convinced that it's something tiny because of the bracelet, and I don't know. And that is I don't know.
Speaker 5:The whole thing is tiny.
Speaker 3:There's some time element In here somewhere. There's some time element Somewhere, I thought you said time.
Speaker 5:Yeah, I love time, travel, that whole. Thing. I just love. It would be cool if they actually end up in a different time period when they go through this and they're actually experiencing the monster. It's just the same, but maybe they, I don't know. So it's just the same, but maybe they, I don't know. I want to say maybe they are, but then you have Victor. That kind of throws that whole thought out the window. But I just my one constant is Ethan with the quest thing.
Speaker 2:That's where I'm at. I really think it's the Kramanakal. I think it's a combination of the Kramanakal and something else, but I do believe that that story is what's going to get them out, because he's having thoughts about that.
Speaker 2:I mean, I just think that it's going to be something from that book that's going to end up being crucial. I don't know what it is, but you know you wouldn't have victor, who is basically an adult child, and ethan and the boy in white. Those are three kid minds and I don't know. But what's your take on the boy in white? Do you think he's good or bad?
Speaker 4:That's a good question. I'm not really sure who he is working for. My my theory has been that there's like multiple forces at play here, that there's, that there's definitely a force that's against them and a force that's for them. I think the white is on their side, but I'm not totally sure.
Speaker 5:I'm hesitant to trust the color white Right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because it's after Labor Day.
Speaker 5:Well, it is after Labor Day, we all know this. But it's just because it's what we always go with that white is the good guy, black is the bad guy, and I just, I kind of, am thinking that he is either like a guidepost or he's a ruse, one or the other. But I was just, you know, while we were talking about what we think, the the whole thing is. You know, with the quest, what if jade designed a video game or a game of some sort based on the Kramanakal?
Speaker 4:Yeah, there's been that theory that Jade is behind this, without actually knowing it floating in the fandom.
Speaker 3:Definitely could be some game theory in here.
Speaker 2:All I hope is that they have an ending that's like we're all real and this really happened, and it's not like St Elsewhere or Lost. Oh, that would be terrible I know For those who are young, google St Elsewhere. It was a TV show In the 80s and they had the worst ending of a great Show. It was all in the Mind of a kid that was Mentally challenged and it was like really None of this was real.
Speaker 4:I've seen a post like that, saying that it was going to end up being like a snow globe on Victor's desk on Facebook at one point, and I'm like my response was OK. That's the point where I start throwing things at the TV because that would be a terrible ending.
Speaker 2:Yeah, to that point. I mean Harold has said in interviews and I think they're trying to make up for lost. That's what it sounds like from everything that's come out. It sounds like they're trying to make up for the mistakes and lost. I mean, who knows? It's so crazy. But you know we'll see. What are some other who are you most concerned for this this season? Cause at the end of the day somebody has got to die. I mean they can't all survive and they and they've been promoting this from day one. You can't save them all. You know that scary scene where where Boyd is like you're so strong, you're so strong.
Speaker 2:You're so strong, you're so strong and of course you know. Lizzie had to ask him who's so strong and he's like someone that's so strong.
Speaker 5:But that's the way he always answers things.
Speaker 2:No, but you know what he also? She also was a jerk and asked him who threw the rope down.
Speaker 5:I know Everybody asks that question.
Speaker 4:They still ask that question. They still ask that question in the groups. It drives me crazy. I brought it up in our first episode podcast of season two and I regret that. I mean it's not like I started or anything like that, but I regret ever raising that question because it's a question that keeps coming up over and over and over again a year later yeah, who do you think threw the rope I don't know.
Speaker 4:Um, yeah, I mean probably martin somehow managed to kick it in there somehow it was one of the akui kids with the with the Tranquilla the dummy with the, with the knife, with Mr, with Colonel Mustard in the library.
Speaker 5:I think it just happened. That's what I think.
Speaker 4:I think I have long since to care about that, that particular question. If, if, if a man can get stuck in a well like that, a rope can just fly down yeah, that's what I think yeah, I think a lot of the problem is that people are expecting real world logic to apply here, and I don't think it does. I think this is a more like dream logic. We're just. You know, the same real-world rules do not apply here Exactly.
Speaker 5:You are exactly right.
Speaker 2:Going back to my original statement, then when it doesn't happen, they look at each other like how is that possible, right? Which makes no sense. Yeah, do you guys think that they're gonna get out? Hmm, obviously not this season, but do you think they're gonna eventually get out?
Speaker 4:I think someone will get out, uh how? Many of them or uh. Yeah, it might not be a lot of them, I think, uh, most of them are probably going to end up dying, uh, but I think somebody does escape from the situation.
Speaker 2:Well, that said, do you guys think Tabitha is out?
Speaker 4:Yeah, I believe she actually is in the real world, although there were some hints that we were looking at that perhaps suggested that she was just in another level of the simulation. But I think it'd be more interesting if she's actually in the real world.
Speaker 3:I think, so too. As of the end of season two, I was very confident that she's in level two of Frumville. I know what they want us to believe of where we are sitting at the beginning of season three and I don't trust what they're telling us. I think that there's more to it than what we're being led to believe at the beginning of season three.
Speaker 2:Right, right, I think I think you're right. I, I mean, there's too many signs. You know, people have said, like the the hospital um logo looks like the akui kids where jade was, it's got seven. Um, and again I, I. There's this one lady online. She is like the theorist of theorists. She has her own Facebook group of theories and whatever else. I mean, she makes some wacky stuff and she also makes some. They had a whole bunch of numbers dates on the stairs and why would it be a coincidence that what's her name? Tilly or whatever has seven grandkids and there's seven Akui kids. You know, it's just there's too many coincidences and maybe they're red herrings, I don't know, but it would be kind of neat that they did have some kind of form.
Speaker 4:I definitely think they wanted to suspect Tilly of something. A lot of her behavior in Season 2 was weird and she always tended to know things that she shouldn't necessarily know.
Speaker 2:Because she's an old lady. Yeah, and you know she's an old lady.
Speaker 4:Yeah, and you know she could just be a busybody, but at the same time it was definitely, I think, they were trying to cast suspicion upon her, and I think a lot of people believe that she is such.
Speaker 2:What do you think, Stace?
Speaker 3:About Tilly. I don't think there's anything there. I think that she's just an old woman who is sick and is trying to live her last days, and I think that they're just misdirecting us.
Speaker 2:You know, in season two we had the bus and we had a lot of dynamics. I mean, we had girlfriends or engaged couples getting together to you know all sorts of different things. Couples getting together to you know all sorts of different things We've got. You know, donna had another challenge with our favorite guy and you know they're bringing on some new characters this season and I'm really excited because in the trailer it looks like it's going to be a police officer or whatever and she's going to start shooting at these guys and it's not going to work. You know, it's going to be really interesting, I think, to see the new people try to translate this to the newest people. And it's only been, like you said, stacey, a couple of days. You're like, you're not going to believe this. I was where you were like two days ago or like 20 hours ago. And it's going to believe this. I was where you were, like two days ago and or like 20 hours ago and yeah fun, um yeah it is interesting.
Speaker 4:Uh, the matthews were kind of our entry point into the series. Uh, you know, getting to know this town through them and through their eyes and then having them be the ones to explain it to the next generation of people that end up in there.
Speaker 5:That is an interesting dynamic being the veterans, so to speak, now the um, the new people, the bus people arrive on day eight of this whole thing. So the matthews have been there for you up to eight days and then we have these bus people coming in changing things around and then it looks like we're going to have these two new characters coming in and the bus people, like Alex said, are only going to have been there for a couple of days and have already been through so much with being caught outside on day one and the cicada thing and just like all around it's cicadas.
Speaker 2:It's not Boston.
Speaker 5:Whatever?
Speaker 2:Hey Duncan.
Speaker 5:Whatever. Oh, I guess he he left. He got mad and left. He lost her host. I don't know where he went.
Speaker 2:I think I cast a spell on him. No, I hear you take care of something that's.
Speaker 5:I like it, but I just based on the trailers. I'm really concerned about Mrs Liu Because she is a favorite. I mean everyone's a favorite, but it's Mrs Liu. You know like I think I totally fell in love, you know, when she started yelling at Jade about the electricity and she's turning the light on and off and he's just like mind blown.
Speaker 4:Yeah, Jade and Mrs Liu have a great bond. It's a lot of fun to watch. And it's fun to watch because they barely speak the same language and yet they have this amazing bond.
Speaker 5:When he walks in on her and she's, you know, mourning her husband and he's just like I get it Like he soothed her. He came out of his emotional shell enough to soothe her, which I just loved.
Speaker 2:Well, he's a person, as you know from that episode, he's a person that respects his elders, because that's who raised him. Yeah, and it just goes to show how we are so complex, and I think that that's what this show really does, and it's so much like the, so much like the walking dead. It's scary, um, when we cut, you know, when the, when Jason covers the walking dead, it's like who do you want to die? And everybody's like no, I want to. No, I don't want that, I don't want anybody to die.
Speaker 2:Well, you know, somebody's got to die and, and you know somebody's got to. I mean, and they do kill people off. I mean, they've killed off. You know Phoebe Rex I forget her character's name, kelly Kelly and they killed off. Obviously, they killed off Reed and they killed off Bob. You know Frank the Tank and his whole family. You know Frank the tank and um and his whole family. You know, took the, took the, the bullet, but you know, now that we're so invested, there's nobody that he wants to, wants to die. Maybe, maybe, um, you know, uh, donna's husband, but no, you mean Cliff?
Speaker 4:Dale Cliff is the actual.
Speaker 2:Dale needs to freaking go. He doesn't need to go because he's the best comic relief, but if he, I don't think anybody would be more than him.
Speaker 5:I like watching him and Donna fight.
Speaker 2:Oh, it's great.
Speaker 5:Because he's crazy, you know, and he refuses to back down.
Speaker 2:He gets no respect. He's like Rodney Dangerfield.
Speaker 5:There's a reason why he doesn't get any respect.
Speaker 4:There was a poll at the end of the season, I got my eyes on Clara. Who is the bigger?
Speaker 5:Really, really.
Speaker 2:Did everybody just freeze?
Speaker 5:I was, I think Stacy Izzy's in shock. I'm getting constant freezing.
Speaker 3:So I'm only hearing every third word.
Speaker 5:anybody says oh no, oh no. Well, I think Clara is probably a good bet. Yesterday, I think it was when I was doing other day, yesterday, I think it was when I was doing the rewatch, and she gets all the glass in her eye in the opening season two episode and. But she's never been put at risk at all, she's always safe. So we've never seen her. So it would be interesting seen her. So it would be interesting. Um, aside from the one that may be the most obvious, who do you think doesn't make it out of this season?
Speaker 4:my money's on patiba. I don't think that pregnancy is going to go well.
Speaker 2:I think a lot of people have been talking about that.
Speaker 5:Do you think it's going to be like some kind of I can't think of, like some kind of accelerated, weird pregnancy?
Speaker 4:Probably, and I'm not totally sure what she's going to give birth to.
Speaker 5:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:If we're only advancing a few days each season, I wonder Neither going to have to have a time jump or an accelerated pregnancy. Otherwise she's just going to be pregnant forever and it's not going to mean anything.
Speaker 5:Yeah, kind of like.
Speaker 2:Maggie, that's a great question. Question because the kids are getting older and they are showing this this season. I mean, the boy in white looks a lot older. Um, you know, ethan, I mean simon is getting to be a big boy, you know, it's funny.
Speaker 4:It's funny because I didn't think that Ethan looked that much older. But then I saw pictures of him from season one and I'm like, okay, yeah, he's definitely grown. I mean, that's a problem when you're working with child actors. Unfortunately, it's just the nature of things.
Speaker 2:But it isn't because they can explain it.
Speaker 4:They could.
Speaker 2:In this show they can.
Speaker 5:They can explain it in this show, because I mean everyone or it seems like some people who get injured heal rather quickly. There's just no way Ethan should have been up and about with a leg injury like that, but perhaps like he's got accelerated growth into an adult. But that wouldn't explain the boy in white because he's of this world. Would he really be growing up that?
Speaker 2:yes, because something has changed. They're having winter. I mean you. You can explain that in a different way.
Speaker 5:But when I was watching that's just a freaky character.
Speaker 2:That boy in one is just the freakiest character. He like scares the crap out of me.
Speaker 5:I'm sorry, he's different when I was watching the first episode and we see him from behind. He's a little boy again and I'm like, ah, they used a photo double based on his previous size.
Speaker 4:oh ah, thank you sorry I was a little worried for lizzie there.
Speaker 2:For a second I thought maybe she was being attacked by cicadas or something cicadas cicadas so we're just getting rid of her because she's she doesn't know how to speak English. She only speaks Boston. Um, that said, uh, we're, we're listening to the what is from slash Corman production slash package, um, craziness, as we like to say, and you know, we're just trying to get our ideas together. And thoughts I know both. I think Stacy has one, I know Lizzie has their book of knowledge and maps and all sorts of good stuff.
Speaker 5:Um, you know, at the ready for us to try to not to refute, right, right, dave, right, absolutely, I mean do you guys I mean, do either of you keep a notebook like this is my notebook, um, and I've got all sorts of stuff, I've got my board show the board yeah, I love this board. Um, I just updated it. Like last night, I finally put the bus people arriving.
Speaker 2:Oh, thank God.
Speaker 5:I know that's a whole other level, yeah.
Speaker 2:I was not sleeping for the last like two years Cause she didn't have the bus people on.
Speaker 5:Yeah Well, I finally realized it's because I haven't watched season two yet, so I couldn't put it up there.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, I know, yeah, so yeah, this it up there.
Speaker 5:Oh yeah, I know, yeah. So yeah, this is the board.
Speaker 2:Oh wait, Stacy's holding her hand on her head.
Speaker 5:That means something I'm boring her.
Speaker 2:That's what it means. No, but I just think that you know, we, I think, like, like they, they've said it's going to be a rough season. I think we're going to have multiple people dying. I think we're going to have. It's going to be interesting to say and I've been saying this in the podcast all along is we've got to find out what the other entity is, because we've got the survivors, we got the monsters and then we got this other group, whoever's controlling the whole world, and it's going to be interesting to see if they reveal themselves this season. Because that's what the monster said, or that's what, um, the uh producers? No, um, which mccall said? Uh, the guy that was on the chains. I know I'm a really good host.
Speaker 2:Oh, martin, martin, yeah I was going to say I don't know why.
Speaker 5:I'm like you just called the producers monsters. Oh no.
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, no, but Martin had said there's another entity, yes, and it's interesting to see what that entity is. I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 5:Yeah, Can I ask this question? Cause you know, when Jim's on the radio and that voice comes over the radio, we're all like who is the voice? And since recent visions or I don't know what to call it Recent scenes, do you think it could be the cowboy guy?
Speaker 4:Maybe Sure.
Speaker 3:Could be.
Speaker 2:Or the mechanic guy or the milkman. I don't think it has any. I don't think it's as big as we think it is. You know what I mean.
Speaker 5:I mean I can't help it. I keep thinking about the Truman Show and Kristoff Right. I keep thinking about there's a voice in the sky, type thing.
Speaker 4:Do you think? This is just one kind of big reality show.
Speaker 5:God, could you imagine something like that, Like the ultimate big brother?
Speaker 4:I've seen the Truman Show and I love that movie. By the way, yeah.
Speaker 5:That's so very provocative, that's for sure Ahead of its time. What's that?
Speaker 4:Ahead of its time.
Speaker 5:Yeah, exactly, ahead of its time things. What's that? Ahead of its time? Yeah, exactly. And I mean and there was another movie similar- in ed tv. I think you're thinking of yeah, ed yeah yeah when we were just with him all day long and the guy couldn't catch a moment alone. You know like he did not have a private life, but he signed on for it, you know, whereas truman never even knew until that.
Speaker 4:You know, one day he realized this isn't real so you think that's perhaps what's going on in front bill, that this is just one kind of reality show that's being watched it's, it's a possibility, I think, I think how do you have monsters?
Speaker 5:I think maybe, maybe it's a government facility and you know they've taken the monsters that were developed during the movie the Mist in Stephen King's world. Maybe that's why Stephen King keeps pushing this show. He's got a vested interest in it because all of his monsters are in the show.
Speaker 2:I think you really have too much time on your hands.
Speaker 5:Maybe I do, maybe I have no time. You know what I know. This isn't professional podcasting. When your dog is barking in the background at the cat and the Amazon person shows up. I just don't have any air right now, like the AC isn't working and I have to have the doors open and my child is not behaving.
Speaker 2:Okay is not behaving okay. So last point before we wrap up, because it's almost at that time, what did you guys, what do you guys think of? Or, since we had this delay, do you think winter is going to play a huge factor or not so huge factor, it's just going to be like okay in the show.
Speaker 4:I think personally that winter and the season changing, that's going to be a big factor in this season. I think it's going to be relevant in some way.
Speaker 2:What about you, Stacey?
Speaker 3:We know that they had to write winter in right. They weren't originally going to film in the winter and then they ended up having to film in the winter. So, however, they're incorporating winter. It wasn't their original intent, so I don't think it's going to be a huge part of the story, but I do think they're intentionally making it part of the story.
Speaker 2:I just wish we could find out how it changed the story so much Like. You know they're in the writers, they're in the writer' room, they're doing everything. They have this delay. They know they're going to come back in the cold weather and away we go, but we're going to have to see what happens.
Speaker 4:I'm sure the writers could tell us that after the fact after the season played out. But for now they're not going to tell us what their original plans were. But they're not going to tell us what their original plans were, uh, but I think eventually they could tell us and that'd be a very interesting thing to hear about absolutely um.
Speaker 5:I I would love like if they got together at the very end and had a talk about how this was all put together, what it all meant, how everything was related. I would love to be not a fly in that room but a butt in the seat listening to that, and I'm sure I would forget most of it, but I would still want to hear it.
Speaker 2:That would be kind of neat. So what are you guys? And we'll go around the table and we'll start with you, stacy, what are you most looking?
Speaker 3:forward to. I'm looking forward to the fact that they told us we are going to start getting some answers, um, and it'd be great to have some things just start coming together and making sense a little bit. I'm looking forward to the story progressing and I know we're going to get new questions along with the answers, but I'm just looking forward to new stuff coming, because I know there's some like big new things that are coming our way and uh, I'm just along for the ride. At this point, like I kind of stopped trying to theorize and I just I want them to tell the story, you know, and uh, I hope that we, I hope that we don't lose a lot of people, but I know we're going to and that makes me sad I we lose, uh, the new people, not not the new people, but I hope we lose the smaller people that we're not as attached to. But I know we're going to lose some important people that we love, so that kind of sucks so, dave, what's your?
Speaker 2:what's your? What are you excited about?
Speaker 4:well I'm excited to be talking about from season three. Uh, talk about the show in general. Again, I think this is one of. This could potentially be one of the great, greatest all time sci fi shows. It depends on how they stick the landing, and this is season three of what they are saying is going to be a season five season show. So at this point they really do have to start letting us in on what the story actually is. I mean, obviously we're not going to get all the answers because then the show is over, but I think we should have more of an idea after the season and I'm really excited to see how that plays out.
Speaker 2:Okay, Lizzie, what are you most excited for?
Speaker 5:I'm excited that it's back period and that we're getting new material and, like Stacey said, possibly some answers, but always moreale that there's infusion from the outside. Oh, and Tabitha's journey.
Speaker 2:Well, I'm really excited about just that it's back. I've always been kind of like Stacy, just on for the ride, not really having any preconceptions of the season, just kind of let's see where we go. And even when you think it's going to be one thing, it's usually something else. So what's the point of trying to? You know theorize and I know that's what that's what from is a lot about. But I just you know I know Lizzie talks about this all the time I like the puzzle and I like the whole. How's it all going to fit together? I just wish it would be a little bit quicker. But that's just because I want to know what's going to happen, because it's a good show.
Speaker 5:Don't wish it over.
Speaker 2:No, I, you know, I think they're going to solve a lot of questions but then they're going to ask more. So I mean, we're going to get answers but then we're going to get some more questions. So either way, we're going to be disappointed and pleased and the next 10 weeks are going to be a lot of fun. But I just want to thank you guys From the Korman Productions and you know when can they find you? Who wants to go? Since Stacy said all about it, I'll have Dave Tell everybody where they can find you.
Speaker 4:You can find us on YouTube. Korman Productions should find us. It's the Korman Productions Deep Dive TV podcast. There's a playlist for From specifically in there, but you can find other content as well. If you're into Quantum Leap, you can find stuff on that. We're going to be talking about Sullivan's Crossing, as Stacey already mentioned at the top, and we're planning on talking about a From-like show called Teacup. That's going to be on NBC. I think it's actually peacock that's supposed to be on it's peacock, yeah, peacock, oh.
Speaker 4:Peacock is the uh streaming platform for nbc. Um, so, yeah, we got uh lots of uh good things coming up and uh, yeah, it's been fun being on this podcast with you guys. I, I thank you for having us here. You guys are the big guys and we're the woo guys.
Speaker 5:Oh, I actually worked on Teacup. I worked on that show.
Speaker 4:Did you?
Speaker 5:Yeah, I've been carrying around. One of the Rapkis was a Yeti and it's got the upside down Teacup on it. I'm with it all the time. Now, what do you do in the show? I am a an academic teacher. Oh, okay, there's two kids on the show and they still have to go to school.
Speaker 2:And he's molding the minds of our future. Isn't that amazing?
Speaker 5:No, I'm not, no, I'm not, no, I'm like this is the clay.
Speaker 2:Folks, if you haven't known what we do, we're the one is what is Fromcast? We exclusively podcast on From. You can go on Facebook on Podcastica, but we're on Instagram, which is WFromcast, or on TikTok, I think it's the same. And we're also on YouTube where we're trying to get to 550 subscribers by the time. This airs on Sunday not this episode, but the actual episode. So hopefully you guys can help us that. And if you want some merch, you can go to our Etsy site. That all being said, you guys, I think that, and if you want some merch, you can go to our our Etsy site. That all being said, you guys, I think it's going to be a great season. Thank you so much for taking the time to join podcast, cause it really it really was a lot of fun and maybe we can do a wrap up at the end of the season, if there's any characters left, and we'll go from there.
Speaker 2:That's good I mean because at the bottom line is who the hell knows if anybody's going to be left. Let's go, come on. Get in your house. Let's go, come on. © transcript Emily Beynon.
