On today's episode of Unbinged, we are celebrating one year of the podcast with the inaugural Bingy award shows. We will finally decide the best and worst of the shows and characters we have watched over the last year. Before we do that, we're gonna give you guys the spoiler alert. This is a spoiler alert for the penguin, severance, and or x men 97, invincible, black mirror, Agatha all along, arcane, the white lotus, batman cape crusader, creature commandos, the boys skeleton crew, house of the dragon, daredevil born again, the last of us squid game, dune prophecy, iron heart, and the acolyte.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:Our first awards were the best intro sequence, and our four nominees are x men 97, severance, creature commandos, and house of the dragon. So four outstanding shows, four really phenomenal inter intro sequences, including the music and the themes and visuals. And the winner for this year, I don't have my envelope somewhere. There's an envelope. Okay.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:We'll take a look. Is it's severance. Severance is the winner of the best interest in place. Yay. It gets the bingy.
Alfredo Brown:The first bingy ever given out. This was a this was a tough one. We argued this one a little bit because we were initially thinking x men '97. The music is just so damn iconic. It was something awesome to bring back, but severance gets the nod here, guys.
Alfredo Brown:Jack, why does severance get the nod for you?
Jagger May:Really, it's the music's great, but the opening sequence is one that you don't wanna skip because every time you watch it, you get something new, and it adds to the story. And is it just something for the creators to flex on? And, like, I get x men 97. That's also a no skip because you just get so hyped. But, like, I I don't know if you guys did this as well, but, like, to me, house of the dragon is disqualified and a little bit x men 97 because these are, old yeah.
Jagger May:It's not theirs. Whereas Severance is new, and it's an automatic classic.
Matthew Kopfhamer:Yeah. And we sat there and dissected Severance's openings at times. So I think that by itself should give it the nominations, give it the win.
Alfredo Brown:Dude, there were there were full videos dedicated to just breaking down every single freeze frame of that intro. Whereas, like, x men 97, I love it. And I would I legit listened to the theme song if I'm working out at the gym because I'm a freak of nature. But this is also the intro where, like, I could walk to the kitchen or take a bathroom break and just hear the song in the background, not actually have to watch the intro sequence. Severance, like, I was analyzing every waking moment of that.
Alfredo Brown:It was it was so damn good.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:Hashtag Someone who fought for yeah. Someone who fought for severance. Think x men 97 was gonna go first. I got nothing else to add. I just the fact that we would stop and watch it multiple times.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:How often do you, like, watch an intro sequence multiple times to try to make
Jagger May:most the words
Alfredo Brown:the fuck is that?
Matthew Kopfhamer:Spirit of
Jagger May:immature and
Alfredo Brown:aggressive bullshit, Vig. Yeah. What was that? What was that? Passive aggressive one
Jagger May:of us fought for severance. What are doing? Yeah. I was just trying
Vignesh Doraiswamy:use a talk about my
Alfredo Brown:I did.
Jagger May:Called them to decorum. Truly.
Alfredo Brown:Have some decorum. Hell, man.
Jagger May:I have
Alfredo Brown:to Will Smith you through the camera. Alright. Koff, hit us with our next award.
Matthew Kopfhamer:So the best cameo in a series, our nominees this year are Sacha Baron Cohen in Ironheart, John Bernthal in Daredevil Born Again, Sam Rockwell in The White Lotus, Evan Peters in Agatha All Along, and Tilda Swinton in the boys. And the winner is Sam Rockwell in the White Lotus. Well deserved. What do you guys think?
Jagger May:It's not even close, man. I think Sam Rockwell is like American Gary Old man for us at this point. Like, his dude is just a fucking killer. On it. And every yeah.
Jagger May:Everything that he is. I mean, like, he's a guy who deserves more awards, and you're like, Sam Rockwell hasn't won an Oscar? How was that? Like, that's how I feel about Sam Rockwell. But we're gonna give you a bingy, dude.
Jagger May:We we see you here. You don't see us, but we see you. We see
Matthew Kopfhamer:For for me. For me. Me.
Jagger May:We see as a little Asian girl.
Matthew Kopfhamer:I was gonna say, honestly, no other cameo made me have an existential crisis and made me question myself for five minutes like Sam Rockwell's did.
Alfredo Brown:That scene, that seat, that freeze frame of Walton Goggins staring at him was just it was everywhere. Like, that moment defined this show more than the actual kills at the end of it. Everyone remembers that scene more than actually how the the final deaths ended up happening. I And think the story behind this is the best part is that Sam Rockwell just happened to be shooting something else nearby, and his wife wife. Was on
Jagger May:yeah. Yeah. Go. Go. Go.
Jagger May:No. No.
Matthew Kopfhamer:I'm just saying
Jagger May:his wife It's fine.
Matthew Kopfhamer:You're good. You get to talk all the time anyway. Wife was So the one on he was just like, hey, I'm in town. And Mike White's like, I got something for you to do.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:The the only minor thing I'll have to
Alfredo Brown:add only because someone in
Vignesh Doraiswamy:the comments is gonna come and shout at us like they always do is that we do know that Sam Rockwell won an Oscar for the three billboards outside of Irving, Missouri. An Oscar. Yeah. Every now and then, New York comes out of me. But, yeah, he won that.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:Right? Didn't he get the best supporting actor for that one?
Jagger May:I don't know.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:I feel like he did. It's okay.
Jagger May:We can move on.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:He got an Oscar, though. Sam Rockwell's great. He got an Oscar. He gets a bingy. No.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:He's the best.
Alfredo Brown:Now people are gonna be in the comments just telling us how stupid we are regardless. We want comments, Fig. So far, you're over two on this show. You're not doing great. Yeah.
Alfredo Brown:Terrible.
Jagger May:I've never real people.
Matthew Kopfhamer:I've never hidden how dumb I am.
Alfredo Brown:Any award named after a person is just fucking stupid. Alright. Yeah. Welcome to the bitch.
Jagger May:We're gonna name ours the Jeffrey, but, you know No. No. No. Thank you.
Alfredo Brown:Alright. For laughing. Alright. Next award on here is the best supporting actor. And the nominees are Kyle Solar for Andor, Tremell Tillman for Severance, Walton Goggins in The White Lotus and Patrick Schwarzenegger in The White Lotus.
Alfredo Brown:And the Benji goes to. Tremell Tillman and Severance as Mr. Milchick. This character was awesome. This character, I don't think the show is the show is amazing.
Alfredo Brown:I don't think it is nearly as good without him there. And I think all these other guys that are best supporting actor, they they added to their shows. They enrich their shows. I think their shows probably still hit the same. Severance does not hit the same without Tramelle Tillman.
Matthew Kopfhamer:I mean, the band leader sequence alone is award winning, in my opinion. Legendary. Legendary.
Jagger May:Yeah. And when you think about, like, iconic characters, you know, Tramelle Tillman, no one's no one's quoting Walton Goggins. Like, yeah, we've memed the shit out of him, and or it that that's its own special niche. Patrick Schwarzenegger actually did an excellent job in White Lotus. He probably would have been one of my, like, top two votes on the top here.
Jagger May:But, like, Tramiel Tillman, I you'd find yourself joking, you know, like, as I'm trying to talk. What did he say about
Vignesh Doraiswamy:Devour feculence. Words.
Alfredo Brown:Yeah. Devour feculents.
Jagger May:You devour feculents, shit like that. You know? Oh, rid your soul of of, like, follies. You know? Just shit like that.
Jagger May:Like, he's just iconic at this point.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:And I think I think Jagger just nailed it. I think the fact that Tramiel Tillman as Milkshake is so iconic and legendary as a character, you can't like, when you see a show and you can't envision anyone else playing that role or the show not being the same without them, He's up there with everybody else in that ensemble, and I think that was an easy win for us.
Alfredo Brown:You know what it is too? Is he can be in other stuff, and I look at him and I go, that's Milkchick. Like, that's that's Milkchick. Like, that's
Jagger May:It's actually I was wrong.
Alfredo Brown:He was in Mission Impossible now, and I'm just like, that's Milkchick in Mission Impossible. Like, that's not whatever character he's supposed to be.
Matthew Kopfhamer:Yeah. He's he's slightly pigeonholed. Don't worry
Jagger May:about him. Yeah. Yeah. That movie was kind of a glupshido thing. That was like I
Alfredo Brown:have not
Jagger May:seen look. Severance. Like, they just like, all the cameos they have in there. Like, it felt like
Alfredo Brown:Don't.
Jagger May:You know?
Alfredo Brown:Don't don't smurge Hannah Waddingham.
Jagger May:I'm not hate I'm not hating on Hannah Waddingham, but she probably could have done a better movie is what I'm saying.
Alfredo Brown:Hey. She's in Smurfs now. Alright?
Jagger May:She she moved up. Alright. Let's go to
Alfredo Brown:the next award on here. Jag, hit us with it.
Jagger May:The next award is, the best use of mind alteration. Our nominees are Rhydonium from Andor. Breathe it in, my boy. Lumen severance procedure, RiverMind from Black Mirror, DNA digital cloner from Black Mirror, or the Thonglic QR code from Black Mirror. Do you think it's gonna be a Black Mirror award?
Jagger May:Black Mirror fucks with people's heads. We can tell. They stack the glove box. Yeah. Based on the statistics of 80% shot, it goes to Black Mirror for Riverview.
Jagger May:Surprising no one. Yeah. We actually debated this harder than what we needed to be because I think an honorable mention should go to Bliss. I think Alfredo made me read this award on purpose because I went on the what's the drug I wanna try the most. Rhidonium is not on there.
Jagger May:That's like your buddy who's like, do you wanna do crack with me? Smoke crack with me, bro. Like, I do classy drugs. Let's hit this meth. Yeah.
Alfredo Brown:Like, just casually in the parking
Matthew Kopfhamer:lot. Too burnt. Too burnt. It'll be fine.
Jagger May:No. Yeah. Then the rest of these, like, RiverMind, that's, like, that's the future of drugs.
Alfredo Brown:It was a subscription service.
Jagger May:Yeah. What?
Matthew Kopfhamer:The wildest part to me though was that they were able to siphon like skills from people and then give those as like a premium service to people willing to pay the price for it. To me, that's what's
Jagger May:Not like how muscle memory works.
Matthew Kopfhamer:No, of course. Like, obviously, it's there's some hand wavy, like sci fi magic going on. But to me, that's the most, like, baffling not baffling, but the most terrifying part is like, while you're sleeping, they're literally draining from you to give to somebody else who's willing to pay more. And it's it's like the combination of the evils of capitalism plus technology. And that's where Black Mirror shines.
Alfredo Brown:Yeah.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:Exactly. I mean, Black Mirror is always just like showing us the the dangers of technology coupled with, right, like, late stage capitalism. And I think that's why it's RiverMind for me. All these other things do use great mind alteration. It's used very well, used in a lot of different creative ways, but this was the most terrifying because it also felt the most real and plausible.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:And I could, like, see there being, like, a a premium subscription versus, like, a lower subscription for this sort of thing. And it was terrifying. Terrifying.
Matthew Kopfhamer:This is the future of Starlink.
Alfredo Brown:Of the people around her.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:Yeah. It was a great episode. Wait. I think Rivermind was fantastic.
Matthew Kopfhamer:Is Starlink the
Jagger May:thing that
Matthew Kopfhamer:Not Starlink. The the Neuralink. Thank you. Neuralink. Yeah.
Alfredo Brown:It's like, do you mean OnStar? What are we yeah. The the the Rivermind, like, the effect that it had on the people around Rashida Jones' character, her husband, who's out here, like, shoving things up his ass and, like, taking teeth out and just, like it wasn't just the effect it had on the person. It was how it changed the people around her, which was just fucking crazy, which, by the way, I wanna take a moment here. Jag, I think this is your moment.
Alfredo Brown:This is our most popular short that we have on YouTube talking about the acid punch card. Do we wanna jump back into this? Is this is this a can we talk about this with Vig here?
Jagger May:I don't I don't wanna
Matthew Kopfhamer:Lives in the brain stem.
Jagger May:Don't wanna do it. I don't I don't wanna it.
Alfredo Brown:Hey, man. It's, like, 40,000 views at this point with just hundreds of comments. Can we
Matthew Kopfhamer:Tag doesn't always stop.
Alfredo Brown:Revisit this for a moment?
Jagger May:No. Let's just
Vignesh Doraiswamy:let's just move on. Let's move on. Let's keep going. But if you want, go find this find the short find the short where Jagger talks about acid accumulation or something in the brain stem. It's it's
Alfredo Brown:We have so many acid experts in the world. Was not, like, really. Yeah. Right? Get off YouTube, guys.
Alfredo Brown:Go do more drugs.
Jagger May:Cool. More less. More casual drugs. Less drugs.
Alfredo Brown:Yeah. Maybe
Jagger May:yeah. Do a lot of drugs, and I'm done with acid. I'm tired. I don't have twelve hours to lose my mind.
Alfredo Brown:Four. Let's start upgrading to Hayahuasca. Let's do darkness retreats.
Matthew Kopfhamer:Oh, we get Aaron Rodgers a cameo? Sweet.
Alfredo Brown:We've done dumber things. Alright. Next up on here, Vig, hit us with our next category.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:Our next binge will go to the most unlikable character in a series, and here are your nominees. From the acolyte, is it Osha? From the last of us, is it Ellie? Is it sir Kristen Cole from house of the dragon, or from and or is it Edie Karn? Not his name.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:What was his name? Whose name was it?
Alfredo Brown:First name, sir Kunalangus Cole.
Jagger May:Oh, that one. Yeah. Yeah. Sure. Sure.
Jagger May:Yeah. I was like, what
Vignesh Doraiswamy:is he going for? Like, did I misread something? I'm, like, terrible at reading names. So but, yes. Thank you, Alfredo.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:So You're welcome. Who did we like the least or rather unlike the most? I think for us, there was no debate straightforward. And from and or Edie Carne, the most unlikable character in a series, gets the bingy, deserves the bingy. Mama Carne.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:What do y'all got?
Jagger May:You can justify every character on this list but Edie Carn. Like, she is so fucking out of pocket mean. Like like, literally, I I guarantee that a homeboy would wake up, and she's like, you're looking like a bitch today. Like, I I know they wouldn't
Alfredo Brown:do She makes Palpatine look so reasonable.
Jagger May:Course, sure, dude. At least
Matthew Kopfhamer:She would put Palpatine in his place.
Jagger May:Hype you up? Yeah. Yeah. Palpatine would be like, Anakin, I want I want you to murder millions. Like, I think you're more than capable than what you are now.
Jagger May:You know, Edie Carne is like, I don't think you can murder shit, Anakin. Don't think
Alfredo Brown:you have any pussy.
Jagger May:Yeah. Murder yourself. That's how You don't like sand? Oh.
Alfredo Brown:Edie would be there in the corner just talking to Palpatine, like, she got a lot of wrinkles in that robe, my guy.
Jagger May:She would sprinkle sand in Anakin's bed. She'd be like, beach towel. Let me fucking fling it out in the bed. Like, just some diabolical shit, dude.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:I mean, if you just if you Google Edie Karn quotes, you just see, like, banger after banger after banger of, like, just vicious, vicious insult. Like, I'm surprised that, like, I'm surprised that, like, her son made it to adulthood at this point, to tell you the truth. What I just said, man.
Matthew Kopfhamer:He's too much of a bitch to kill himself.
Jagger May:He's a victim and that just didn't die. Like, he's a victim who didn't die. When your mom is that mean to you and you grow up and they give you power, that's what happens. He he never had a shot. You either become Superman where you're like, I'm just gonna be so good and the opposite of my mom, or what's likely to happen, you're the empire's equivalent of a school shooter.
Jagger May:Yeah.
Alfredo Brown:Edie Carr, I feel like she would have been a really great fit for those old shows and, like, on MTV, like, Wild N Out or Yo Mama. Like, where it was just, like, trying to just step up to each other, do, like, a joke battle. Edie Carne would have just been perfect for that shit. Just not even trying.
Matthew Kopfhamer:Oh, I bet you she's great at battle rap.
Jagger May:And just let her roast the shit out of people. Just Still whites.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:You're like, ten years from now, there's gonna be long Reddit post about how Edie Carne's a secret sip lord, and it's gonna hit because I think you can make such a Can
Alfredo Brown:we make that an
Vignesh Doraiswamy:We should just make by the way, like just make yeah.
Alfredo Brown:Let's just do it. Secret sith lord. And we get so it's It's her
Jagger May:and Jar Jar. It's Neil it's Neil from skeleton crew. It's Jar Jar. Yep. This
Alfredo Brown:is it.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:That's our next episode, man. This should be fun.
Alfredo Brown:I'm in
Jagger May:the The deep Sith state is in I love it. Files. It's all the team files. Card. Yeah.
Jagger May:It's like like, if you wanna think about, like, the the Russian doll of Sith Lords, it's like Darth Vader Nesting doll. Palpatine, then it's Edie Carr. Sad. She's
Alfredo Brown:Somehow, Edie Carr returned. Alright. Let's go to the next award on here. Cough.
Matthew Kopfhamer:Alright. So for best supporting actress, we have as nominees, Deirdre O'Connell from The Penguin, Elizabeth DeLau from Andor, Genevieve O'Reilly from Andor, Patricia Arquette from Severance, Parker Posey from The White Lotus, or Carrie Coon from The White Lotus. And the winner of best supporting actress is Elizabeth DeLau from Andor.
Alfredo Brown:Well deserved. Well deserved. Clap it
Matthew Kopfhamer:up, boys.
Jagger May:This is we see you. This is it. I know the
Matthew Kopfhamer:Emmy play us.
Jagger May:Don't. You didn't pay enough. They yeah.
Matthew Kopfhamer:Honestly, the fact that this is her first role ever, this is her first job at acting school, and she just delivers this kind of performance. I mean, how could we not pick, you know, Elizabeth for this? Absolutely stunning as Clea.
Alfredo Brown:Shoot. The Emmys didn't pick anyone from from and or main cast. Like, The politics
Jagger May:normally do. This is what that's what yeah. They they will nominate these movies for every special effects award. They're like, this this is what you get. You get best made
Alfredo Brown:But you're Wars, so it doesn't work for drama.
Jagger May:Exactly. Mhmm. Exactly. That's every time, man. Like, I looked at what they're nominated for.
Jagger May:I'm like, just like the Oscars. This is why we are a real award show, guys. Not the binges. Fucking dickhead who can't even read a movie and gives it to Adrian Brody. I'm still better.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:I won't get won't let
Alfredo Brown:it It's a long title for an award show, but, yeah,
Jagger May:I wouldn't watch that either.
Alfredo Brown:Alright. Next award on here. This one is the most unbingable series. This is basically our award for
Matthew Kopfhamer:Stink earlier.
Alfredo Brown:Series. Yeah. It's our Razzie, basically, for the binges here. So the nominees for most unbenchable series are The Acolyte, Dune Prophecy, The Last of Us season two and Ironheart. And, gentlemen, the bingy goes to it's a tie.
Alfredo Brown:The acolyte and Dune prophecy because, damn it, these sucked so bad. Get rid
Jagger May:of all. And for different reasons. Like, legitimately, guys, we had to, like, just say we're gonna give it to them both so we could start the show because Vic's a doctor with a real job because it's just like the acolyte, I hated it immediately, and then I liked it. The doom doom prophecy, I'm like, well, it's HBO. Surely, it'll get better.
Jagger May:And then it never did. It got worse now. Yeah. We we even try to do scenarios. Right?
Jagger May:Where we're just like, which one would you wanna go binge again? And I'm like, is neither an option? Is a
Matthew Kopfhamer:book Is a lobotomy an option?
Jagger May:Instead.
Alfredo Brown:Too far.
Jagger May:Acolyte could get kids three books. I'm convinced. Dude, they actually they actually made an acolyte book. They They made made an
Alfredo Brown:acolyte book.
Jagger May:The acolyte is the cure for screens for literacy. Yeah, dude. You wanna cut your screen, your kid's screen time down? Throw on Dune prophecy. They're like, fuck, mom.
Jagger May:What are doing?
Matthew Kopfhamer:I was out on Dune Prophecy from literal minute one when they showed the flashback or
Jagger May:her ears released. I
Matthew Kopfhamer:was like,
Jagger May:I felt like you were pissed. Done. Bought this show.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:I'm so
Alfredo Brown:mad, man. I remember episode one of us reviewing Dude Prophecy was so Koff was livid.
Matthew Kopfhamer:I was yelling one of those where
Jagger May:we had to calm
Alfredo Brown:you down after the show.
Jagger May:I I think that was, like, the second show we ever reviewed with Koff, and like, I'm is he gonna be an angry white guy every time? Yeah. Like like, uh-oh.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:This was a mistake.
Matthew Kopfhamer:We done messed up. Oh, boy.
Jagger May:But Agatha happened, and I'm like, oh, okay. Well Yeah. Wild card.
Alfredo Brown:I don't
Jagger May:know what he's gonna do. That's how you say. Okay.
Alfredo Brown:You swinging. Came What? Dude, prophecy was a was a a five?
Matthew Kopfhamer:Four or a five.
Jagger May:I don't know. Or a four?
Alfredo Brown:Wait. I got it written down. We have it written down.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:He wanted to give it a two, but then he went higher because we bullied him into it.
Matthew Kopfhamer:Yeah. That's right.
Alfredo Brown:Prophecy cough. You you gave it a five. You gave acolyte a four, which, by the way, we if we have time, we should go over our ratings here.
Jagger May:I might switch those now. A two is like Bob the Builder fan fiction. I wait a second. Wait a second.
Alfredo Brown:Color me intrigued.
Matthew Kopfhamer:Can we fix it?
Jagger May:I'm so fucking in. Alright. Alright. We're already too deep, and we're already off the road. So I gotta say this.
Jagger May:I meant to put this in the group chat. Anthony Ramos is playing Bob the Builder. Yes. Which
Alfredo Brown:is slightly racist. Like, just a twinge of racism.
Jagger May:Manny Manny the builder was right there. What did he tell right there.
Alfredo Brown:Not a single Latino named Bob. I gotta say it, man. I gotta say it.
Jagger May:Never looked who's good at construction. Well, he goes by Berto, not Bob. Good point. Know who's called Bob? Old White Men and Century.
Jagger May:Those are the two people who went Century.
Alfredo Brown:Lewis Pullman in every movie he's ever been in is just Bob.
Jagger May:First Same thing in Top Gun Map. Yeah. The first guy to go buy two Bobs in the twenty first century easily.
Alfredo Brown:Who's making the Bob the Builder movie?
Vignesh Doraiswamy:Don't care.
Jagger May:A mistake is made. Like, I read
Alfredo Brown:that episode idea, by the way, right there. Like, the live action movies, we don't wanna they're making a Hot Wheels live action movie, which is essentially just going to be Fast and the Furious. And wait, there is more.
Jagger May:What is the off brand off brand Hot Wheels? They're making a matchbox movie, guys, and John Stevenson. I'm not joking. And John Stevenson. I live on IMDB.
Jagger May:Yeah. No. Because I I I don't even I wanna say Anthony Ramos is in it too because I was like, what's this nigga doing? Well, he's already in
Alfredo Brown:he's in he's gonna be in the transformers GI Joe crossover movie that's next.
Jagger May:That's real?
Alfredo Brown:Yes. At the end of spoilers. At the end of, like, the transformers rise of the beast, he gets recruited by GI Joe. He gets an agent from the GI Joe Department of Justice who's like, if you're looking for work, kid, we're always hiring. And it's GI Joe, and he gets a card, and that's like that's his that's his Batman Begins Joker card to go into this new series of crossover for Hasbro.
Alfredo Brown:Cough. Don't shrug your shoulders like you're gonna watch it.
Matthew Kopfhamer:I mean, honestly, at this point, like,
Jagger May:fuck it.
Matthew Kopfhamer:Why not do a crossover? Like, just go bananas with it. Like, some of these properties, I'm I'm okay with them going, like, off the rails because it's like, fuck it. It's a train wreck.
Jagger May:Don't know. Somehow. Next word. We're gonna go with I don't agree.
Alfredo Brown:That's all. It's Optimus Prime versus Godzilla versus Dominic Toretto.
Jagger May:Honestly, a kaiju. Excuse me.
Alfredo Brown:Okay. Jack, hit us with our next category.
Jagger May:Best performance in an unbenchable series. That's you did a good job. You are a parked car in a trailer park. Our nominees are Manny Jacinto, Pedro Pascal, Dominique Thorn, Olivia Williams, Lee Jung J. Did I say
Vignesh Doraiswamy:that right? Yeah. Leader Give give me
Alfredo Brown:I don't know, man, but the Korean fan base is gonna be pissed.
Jagger May:I know. That's why I didn't wanna say it. I was just like
Alfredo Brown:Our our our lead actor in Squid Game.
Jagger May:Yeah. Lead actor in Squid Game. Yeah. You guys can mispronounce my name. Manny Jacinto is our winner.
Jagger May:He was good, man, and the acolyte. We we shit on the acolyte, and it made me want more managers. I was like, yeah. I was sad that there's no more Manny Jacinto. Like, that's and what's crazy, why another reason I think he deserved it, we've only seen him in the good place, the dumbest motherfucker in three realms.
Alfredo Brown:No. You know where else we got him? And this is what pisses me off. He's in top gun maverick as one of the other guys.
Jagger May:So that
Alfredo Brown:that flight, Oh, it's actually solid. The other guys in the flight academy there for okay. Well, it's solid. The other guys in it are Danny Ramirez, who's new Falcon, Lewis Pullman, who is now Century, Manny Jacinto. Like like, we we have actually some good actors here.
Alfredo Brown:Manny Jacinto had a total of zero fucking lines, and whatever lines he had got cut. So he's in something good with no lines. And then they put him in the acolyte, they're like, you know what? We're basically just gonna make you the star. And I want more of his character.
Alfredo Brown:Like, I actually really enjoy I would have been down if the show was just about him. And It should've.
Jagger May:And, like, to give the acolyte credit is that, like, I wanted a season two because I felt like they could've fixed it. You know? I was like, Manny Jacinto made me wanna watch, and you gave me the ultimate glove show, which is Darth Plagueis.
Matthew Kopfhamer:Yeah. Too little, too late.
Alfredo Brown:Yeah. Wait. Am I am I am I
Jagger May:wrong here? Lee Zhong je was also an acolyte. Yeah. Yeah.
Matthew Kopfhamer:He he was yeah. He the lead Jedi. I forget the name.
Alfredo Brown:Two two appearances.
Jagger May:Look that. Look at that.
Alfredo Brown:Alright. Next category. Go for it, Vig.
Jagger May:I'm going next.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:The next category is the bingy for the most heartbreaking death. And so we have Isha, a little girl from Arcane, Rexplode from Invincible, Victor Aguilar from the Penguin, Joel Joel Joel Joel. I've heard it both ways. Miller from The Last of Us. Nope.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:We haven't heard it Joel. Or X Men 90 Gambit. And this is a tough one. This looks like we had some debate. We had some discussion.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:The winner for this goes to Victor Aguilar from the Penguin. And you might be surprised. You might thought that it was gonna go to Gambit. Gambit was very emotional, rogue scene right after in what she says, and the way it hits and the nostalgia is all pretty great. But for me, it was Victor Aguilar just because of, you know, we every episode, we're like, he's gonna die.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:He's gonna die. Yeah. He's gonna die. And then at the end, we're like, oh, wait. Actually, he's not gonna die.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:It's okay. Like, he made it. It's all good. You see, like, their character, like, the the you see that, like, building of their characters together and their relationship through the entire episode. Like, you don't see that for Gambit.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:Right? You just see all this relationship building up and them getting closer and closer and closer, and then he's done. And so I think for those reasons, it was my most heartbreaking death. But, you know, give me a good argument for Gambit. I think that was a really great one too.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:I just a year of good and heartbreaking deaths in television.
Alfredo Brown:Man. The Gambit one the Gambit one, I think, like, it just it hit, but it was it's obviously it only works for the people that enjoyed the animation and actually went and watched x men 97. Like, I don't think it got enough into the cultural zeitgeist of really, like, breaking everyone's hearts. If if we're talking about the biggest one in pop culture, it's probably Joel Miller from The Last of Us. But everyone knew it.
Jagger May:We knew
Alfredo Brown:that was fan base.
Matthew Kopfhamer:Right? Yeah. It was spoiled.
Alfredo Brown:Heard around the world, and it honestly just totally altered the series. So if we're gonna talk about, like, the the biggest one, it would be Joel. It'd be Pedro Pascal's character. But the Vic Aguilar thing, man, like, that was you thought you were safe. You thought you were gonna get the credits to roll.
Alfredo Brown:We made it out of the series. Vic was just a fun and people were making all kinds of fucking speculation that he was gonna be like a
Matthew Kopfhamer:Victor Zayes.
Alfredo Brown:Robin or Victor Zayes or, like, a million other different things. And
Vignesh Doraiswamy:nah, he gets
Alfredo Brown:choked out on a park bench, and his license gets thrown into the river. He's got no family left. He had the opportunity to go be with his girl, get on that bus, drive across the country, and take the money he's earned. And, nah, he was loyal to Oz. He gets killed in the most heartbreaking way.
Alfredo Brown:Vic Aguilar just deserves this. By the way, Koff, you added Isha to this. I Jag and I honestly forgot who the fuck she was.
Matthew Kopfhamer:Yeah. That's fine. That's fine.
Jagger May:You've told me four times and forgot
Alfredo Brown:Isha's the little the little
Jagger May:blue haired girl from from
Matthew Kopfhamer:Arcane? From The
Vignesh Doraiswamy:one that doesn't talk. The little zaunite girl that can't talk.
Jagger May:Yeah. Yeah. She was gonna die. Like, the the I didn't know she could die. Her up.
Jagger May:They're like, yes, they come on. Like She's a child.
Matthew Kopfhamer:Usually, children are safe. So I was very surprised when she sacrificed herself.
Alfredo Brown:Not in animation. Yeah.
Jagger May:I was about to yeah. I forget you to watch the anime. I'm like, come on, doc. Like, I'm surprised she didn't have a cough and cancer. Like, right away.
Jagger May:The fact that they
Alfredo Brown:she had the black lung the whole time.
Jagger May:Yeah. I was about to say coughing and napkin, and you're like
Alfredo Brown:Bubonic plague is making a comeback. By the way, it is.
Matthew Kopfhamer:I just You know, vague.
Alfredo Brown:You wanna speak on that? Bubonic plague? No.
Jagger May:I don't know what's on Yeah. It's back. It is back.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:So we're not here for real life.
Alfredo Brown:It's it's somehow, bubonic plague returned.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:We're so back.
Alfredo Brown:Cop. I I don't know. I felt like you wanted to say one more thing before your dog distracted you.
Matthew Kopfhamer:No. It's fine. I just was gonna say I like the relationship between Jinx and Isha, and that's why it was heartbreaking for me because it was another nail in Jinx's, you know, psychopathy. And Mhmm. But you're right.
Matthew Kopfhamer:Victor was
Jagger May:an angry white guy. He's got emotions.
Matthew Kopfhamer:I I read and I
Alfredo Brown:Feel it.
Jagger May:And and have things.
Matthew Kopfhamer:But, no, Victor's the definitely most like you said, you you thought he was safe. We thought we made it to the end. We're like, alright. Cool. He's gonna rise up in the ranks with Oz, and then Oz is like, nah, kid.
Matthew Kopfhamer:Like, this is a one man show.
Alfredo Brown:Fucking heartbreaking. Alright, Koff. Take us to our next award here.
Matthew Kopfhamer:Alright. So for best animated series, the nominees are X Men 97, Invincible, Arcane, Batman, Caped Crusader, or Creature Commandos. And our winner for the best animated series is X Men 97. Take that, Arcane fans.
Alfredo Brown:By a long shot. Wasn't close. Wasn't close. We got so much hate for not enjoying like, we enjoyed Arcane. It was like, what?
Alfredo Brown:I have it for here,
Vignesh Doraiswamy:our scores.
Alfredo Brown:Like, Arcane was overall it was an eight for us.
Jagger May:It was an
Alfredo Brown:eight overall. Like, we liked it.
Jagger May:But it wasn't.
Alfredo Brown:Because we didn't we didn't glaze it. Yeah. We got crushed in the comments.
Matthew Kopfhamer:Were also a little down
Jagger May:on the second act.
Matthew Kopfhamer:That's why.
Jagger May:Well, I I and I said comments like Arkane isn't the best animated show on Netflix. It's not. It's not, guys. Sorry. Not sorry.
Jagger May:It's Blue Hat Samurai.
Alfredo Brown:Oh, yeah. Terminator zero. That's not even close. Not even

Jagger May:I know it makes you cheer.
Alfredo Brown:Jagger. That's right.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:Jagger, just because it's not here and you you and I are the only ones who've watched it. Special shout out for Lazarus. Right?
Jagger May:Yeah.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:Yeah. I actually would have Lazarus over X Men 97 just because it's different, check it out if you haven't seen it. It's incredible animation.
Jagger May:So why did X Men 97 win if we're all talking about different shows?
Vignesh Doraiswamy:Because we didn't all watch it. We only did stuff that we rated and reviewed. So
Jagger May:you watched sexy 97, Vic, didn't you? You're here. No.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:I did. I started saying
Jagger May:was really yeah. And he
Vignesh Doraiswamy:watched Lazarus. That's why it's not here.
Alfredo Brown:He's the only one that didn't give it a 10. He was like, what's the name?
Jagger May:He took
Vignesh Doraiswamy:for you.
Jagger May:Yeah. That you wrote some bunk ass hater shit too.
Alfredo Brown:And that was our first episode too. Was like, god, man. Like, this guy's gonna fucking derail the whole pod.
Jagger May:That's all. That's all.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:I gave Superman a 10. Gave Superman.
Alfredo Brown:There was a few moments. There was a few moments in the history of the pod. It was Vig given a nine for x men 97. It was Koff with his 10 for Agatha all along. He's like, this is groundbreaking.
Alfredo Brown:This is groundbreaking magic. There's there's a few of those.
Jagger May:Is it yeah. He was like he was like, Agatha, Harry Potter, or the next Oh god.
Alfredo Brown:That's all. That'd be a good episode is go back

Jagger May:for the year. Takes. Yeah.
Matthew Kopfhamer:Yeah. That's gonna be a long episode. So Sure. Oh, how about this? A highlight reel.
Alfredo Brown:Cough. We we don't no one else shows up for the episode.
Jagger May:It's just
Alfredo Brown:cuffed monologuing for thirty minutes. Actually, I like this. It's you air the grievances. Okay? You do an airing of grievances, and we just call out each other's worst takes from the from the last years.
Alfredo Brown:We don't do it to ourselves. This is where we test our relationship. Yeah. I'm in on that.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:That's alright. I mean, if the worst you got on me is that I thought x one ninety seven was a nine out of 10, I think I'm okay.
Matthew Kopfhamer:That is not No.
Alfredo Brown:The worst I have on you is that you've only been available for, like, eight episodes. Stop working a real job. Those kids will be fine at the hospital without you.
Jagger May:I help sick children.
Alfredo Brown:Yeah. Look at me. I'm a real hero.
Jagger May:I won't make fun of the English for me, the doctor. Go change your Facebook profile to say I'm a first responder. I'm on the front lines. We gotta cut Big down because he has a better life
Alfredo Brown:than these
Jagger May:guys. Like, he's just he's just such a he's such a good human.
Alfredo Brown:Like, we have to, like, just make him feel a little bit shittier.
Jagger May:I'm on my Lex Luthor shit.
Alfredo Brown:You're also a dad. Like, you're the only one with the real responsibilities.
Jagger May:Homies are We're not
Alfredo Brown:we're here like, man. Camera is a couple millimeters off. My whole day is ruined. You're like, I've cleaned shit four times today.
Jagger May:My mister terrific jacket ripped.
Matthew Kopfhamer:Oh, no. Dude, that's sad.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:Did it rip so? That's terrifyingly sad.
Jagger May:It actually happened today. I was really
Alfredo Brown:Jack was pissed he had to wear sleeves today.
Jagger May:I don't have a lot of problems, guys. Haven't lived a very hard life.
Alfredo Brown:Alright. Let's go to our next category on here. Best villain in the TV series, and the nominees are Wilson Fisk in daredevil born again, Oz Cobb in the penguin. Yes. He was a villain.
Alfredo Brown:Homelander in the boys, and Jad Nana Wood in Skeleton Crew.
Jagger May:Seditiony ass shit on here. Like, did we just run out of villains?
Alfredo Brown:Wait. That's
Matthew Kopfhamer:I don't know.
Alfredo Brown:And Jude Law wasn't bad. Jude Law was bad. Yeah. He obviously didn't win here.
Jagger May:When I was a boy, my Jedi. Was like, okay. Yeah.
Alfredo Brown:I mean, it's actual reminded
Jagger May:me, by the way,
Alfredo Brown:when I was a boy,
Jagger May:we went to endless shrimp and pasta. So good. What a
Alfredo Brown:time to be alive. Alright. The winner for best villain in a series goes to OZ Cobb in the penguin because holy shit. Was Colin Farrell good? You loved him.
Alfredo Brown:You hated him. He had the best lines, the best kills, the way he was able to get himself in and out of all of these horrendous situations. And the writers, the directors, the showrunners, everyone told us, you're going to hate this guy by the end of the series.
Matthew Kopfhamer:Then, boy, did you
Alfredo Brown:nothing there's nothing else on here where it is self titled. The show is self titled. You're rooting for the character, and then you absolutely despise this character by the end of it. Colin Farrell as Ozkob and the penguin, best villain by far.
Jagger May:He's just, like, the the biggest piece of shit in every sense of the word, which is, like, you think I don't cut
Alfredo Brown:of it.
Jagger May:Yeah. You know, just like this whole speech he gives to fucking Sofia, he's just like he's like, I loved you. And then as soon as shit gets rough, he's like, leave her. Get the fuck She's on her own. It's, like, incredible.
Alfredo Brown:What's that quote from The Office? Like, I wish you you knew when you were in the good old days when they were happening
Jagger May:or or whatever it is.
Alfredo Brown:Like, that was us when we were watching the Penguin and Severance. We had so many good shows back to back to back, man. What a time to be alive.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:What a time.
Jagger May:What a time. We're now we're
Vignesh Doraiswamy:the best villain, though, has to be the folks who who wrote for the acolyte in Dune prophecy. Honorable mention. Those are the real villains series. They were never on screen, and
Matthew Kopfhamer:they are
Vignesh Doraiswamy:the true villains. Shout out to y'all. You've ruined some
Jagger May:great shows. And the people who got fired from The Last of Us, because, like, there's, like, a a group of writers that all came from, like, one fucking bad show, and they, like, spread like, if we spread them out, it'll be fine. And I'm gonna use the poop brownie analogy. All it's
Alfredo Brown:is I hate this one so much.
Jagger May:But it makes sense, dude. Like, just because you spread out one turd among five fucking trays of brownies, there's still turds in the brownies. You
Matthew Kopfhamer:you know that FDA has an acceptable amount of, like, rat rodent poop that's allowed to be
Jagger May:in Yeah. Poo. Well, the JDA, what Jack says is get the fuck out here with your little poop brownies, dawg. Get out.
Alfredo Brown:Yet you keep bringing it up. The shit brownies.
Jagger May:I am bringing it up to keep people aware. That's why you wear pink bracelets. Spread awareness about
Alfredo Brown:Oh my god. Somebody
Jagger May:write this down, somebody. That's a great idea for a t shirt.
Alfredo Brown:Too much poop in the brownies.
Jagger May:There we go.
Alfredo Brown:Spread awareness. Unbinge merch coming soon.
Jagger May:Don't spread cheeks. Spread awareness. Poop brownies, twenty
Alfredo Brown:twenty five.
Jagger May:God. Oh, god. Go up. Sit the next couple of places out. Yeah.
Jagger May:Take a lap. Jesus. Take a lap. Alright. I'm sorry now.
Jagger May:I now I'm you've made me sorry. I'm Jack. Yes.
Alfredo Brown:You don't get mad when a five year old gets behind the wheel of a car.
Jagger May:You ask yourself who put that child in the driver's seat. This was you. Exact I I did this. No. I'm I'm officially retiring the poop crowd.
Jagger May:We're making shirts. It's too late. We're making shirts. We're making sweaters.
Alfredo Brown:They're all gonna be brown. Alright. Jag, hit us with our next
Jagger May:award out here. Next award, most, biggest hater in the series. Biggest hater?
Alfredo Brown:Most biggest hater.
Jagger May:Young Oz Cobb from the Penguin. Queen Alicent, I like to have my cooter licked, high tower. Mister Drummond, or my mommy hates me, Cyril Carr. News flash, guys. It's young Oz Cobb.
Jagger May:You thought adult Oz was a hater, wait till you beat baby Oz. It's like, imagine if they made, like, baby looted lootedudes.
Alfredo Brown:Just And tiny tunes of of DC villains.
Jagger May:Yes. Oscar would be the most fuck ass one on the planet. It's not even close.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:Ugh. Like yeah. Like, as kills you baby Lex Luthor 10 out of 10 times.
Alfredo Brown:Well, you think about it you think about it, like, every every villain has the origin story that turns them into a like, this motherfucker was born like this. Like, you don't just wake up and decide to murder your brothers. Spoilers, by the way. Like, that's something that has been in your blood. Like, you were born to be a hating ass motherfucker.
Alfredo Brown:Like, he was had a VIP ticket to the Player Haters ball every single year. Shout out Chappelle's show. Yeah. Young Oz Cobb. It was the first time that I've looked at a child
Jagger May:and like, you you gotta go.
Matthew Kopfhamer:We need to yeah. It's the Rooney thing where it's like, try to do the baby Thanos and yeah.
Jagger May:Damn. Just yes. But
Matthew Kopfhamer:it's also like that's also Oz's greatest strength is that he is such a hater. That's what motivates him. That's what keeps him going. That's what keeps him climbing that ladder. It's like he sees the person in
Jagger May:front of him.
Matthew Kopfhamer:That is his superpower is his hate and ass ability. So good for him.
Alfredo Brown:Who's a bigger hater? Oz or Lex? Lex.
Matthew Kopfhamer:Probably Lex. Just because he has the intellect and the and the, yeah, and the money. Whereas Oz
Jagger May:has to scrap for everything. Climb up. Lex can just go to a beach and, like, live his own fucking life. He can go right out to this. Stop.
Jagger May:Yeah. He at any point
Matthew Kopfhamer:He does it for the love of the game.
Jagger May:Like exact thank you. I was like, he hates for the love of the game. Oz does it as a business. Like, it's being a hater
Alfredo Brown:does it a the Adrian Peterson. Oz is the Adrian Peterson of villains.
Jagger May:Like, he's a villain because
Alfredo Brown:he has to keep going.
Jagger May:Yeah.
Alfredo Brown:He needs the money.
Jagger May:Yeah. He he saw, like, the the this buck buck ass, like like, Isai I think it was. Like, gotta keep the lights on somehow. Lex Luthor takes time out of his day to like, I gotta brush up on my Superman moves, I
Matthew Kopfhamer:gotta go
Jagger May:find
Alfredo Brown:a. Myself. He's just playing Injustice every day. Every day. Yeah.
Jagger May:That's his research.
Alfredo Brown:Alright. Big, hit us with our next award.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:Our next Bingy is for the best ensemble cast amongst all the shows we watch this year. So our nominees in no particular order are Andor, Agatha All Along, The White Lotus, The Penguin, and Severance. All outstanding shows. I think, you know, we we liked all of them. They were all reviewed fairly well.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:But the winner for this year's Bingy for the best ensemble is Severance because every single actor was incredible. I feel like there was not a single one that did poorly. I remember we were recording episodes of the show talking about how each and every one absolutely nailed their role. How, like, Christopher Walken might be, like, the fifteenth best actor on that show. That's how good the acting was here.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:The ensemble was absolutely incredible, and they're probably gonna win an Emmy for it. If they don't, I would be shocked, but they get the bingy. All the other shows are pretty good too.
Jagger May:They all play two people. Like, Christopher Walken is just, like, hella gay, like, in there where he's just, like, really happy. And I you know? And then up there, he's, like, evil gay, where he's just like, I'm gonna be menacing Okay. And I'm gonna hit on you in front of my husband.
Jagger May:Just some out of pocket shit.
Matthew Kopfhamer:Poor Denethor. God.
Jagger May:Yeah. Like, yeah. He he made Not me enough tomatoes
Alfredo Brown:in that salad.
Jagger May:Yeah. Christopher Walken made me feel sorry for for Lord Denethor. I've hated this nigga in everything he's been in since the Lord of Rings. He's even, like, in Fringe. He's like a a protagonist,
Alfredo Brown:and I
Jagger May:still can't trust him. Yeah. He's grandpa Fringe.
Alfredo Brown:I think like, the the Seference cast, man, I don't think there's a weak link in that chain there. Like, even even the people who are, I would say, most unknown, like a Zach Cherry, is oftentimes the force that carries the show in certain episodes. Like, there's not a lot of shows on TV that are like that.
Jagger May:It was limited, ensemble at all times. Like, most of the time, this show plays like a, a stage play where, like, there's only, like, four fucking sets, man. And most of the time when it's like that, I get bored to tears, but not with this show.
Alfredo Brown:What a good one. What a good one. Alright, guys. We have three awards left. Cough hit us with our next award.
Matthew Kopfhamer:Alright. So next category is the bingy for best actor, and our nominees are Colin Farrell from the Penguin, Diego Luna from Andor, Adam Scott from Severance, Anthony Starr from The Boys, and Charlie Cox from Daredevil Born Again. And this year's binge for best actor goes to, surprise surprise, Colin Farrell from The Penguin. And honestly, for me, I forgot that it was Colin Farrell in the in the makeup and the OZCOB persona most of the time. So the fact that he was able to embody this character so sufficiently and so effectively was why I think he deserves this above everybody else on this list.
Jagger May:Number two is Anthony Starr. I think that's
Alfredo Brown:100% agree, Jack. Go.
Jagger May:Well, I was just gonna say, like, it's crazy that, like, Colin Farrell did so well because Anthony Starr is so fucking good at Homelander. Just like the range of what Homelander is is so good. Like, and that that's just me wanting to give Anthony Starr's flowers. If it wasn't for Colin Farrarrow literally becoming a whole different fucking human, like, legitimately, it would be, like, Anthony Starr runaway. And so that's just like a testament how good Colin Farrell is.
Alfredo Brown:Well, remember, we have that that, that short on on Instagram and on YouTube about how Homelander is actually one of the more iconic villains now in lore because of Anthony Starr, because of the way he played this. That, like, he is terrifying in every single way. And then right here comes Colin Farrell, who you just legit forget that he's Colin Farrell. You don't you're you're watching, and you're like, who's this actor? He's pretty pretty damn good.
Alfredo Brown:He's nailing this role. And then you realize, like, oh, Colin Farrell, super handsome, super charismatic, and now he has to play this piece of shit. He just does it so well.
Jagger May:Mhmm. And Irish dude do it a Brooklyn accent and a fucking I don't know. Goyal.
Matthew Kopfhamer:Convincingly too. Like, it wasn't egregious.
Jagger May:No. It's pretty good.
Matthew Kopfhamer:I mean mean
Vignesh Doraiswamy:It was it really it really was outstanding. And I think how often can we say that we have seen a character and be so mesmerized by the character and their acting that we forget who they are underneath? I think Gary Old man does that very well. Right? Like, he's
Jagger May:just
Vignesh Doraiswamy:a chameleon. Slow horses. Like, mean, Gary Old man's unreal, but Colin Farrell's performance here really hits and probably surpasses some of those levels that I've seen with Gary Old man. But I I'm just excited to see, like, what else we can do in the future with other actors and characters like this because this was a revelation.
Matthew Kopfhamer:Yeah. Biggest mind fuck They Oops. I was gonna say the biggest mind fuck was
Jagger May:you go, Jack. You go. Oh, the original Daredevil movie, they made Bullseye Irish because they didn't think Colin Farrell
Matthew Kopfhamer:couldn't be Irish.
Jagger May:It's just like, fuck. It's like, wow. I wonder if he looks back at that and it's like, just insult us.
Matthew Kopfhamer:And speaking of that, like, biggest mind fuck for me was after the show finished and they showed the behind the scenes of him in full OZCOB makeup and and character, but then speaking in his normal voice and it's such a mind fuck seeing that, like, wait a second. Because you're used to OZCOB with the the his accent and then he switched to his regular voice and it's like, woah. Okay. That is Colin Farrell. I
Alfredo Brown:think the other thing too to recognize here amongst these best actors is that all of these other nominees have had multiple seasons of playing this character where you've gotten to know them over a period of time. Some of them have even had movies that they've been in. Whereas Colin Farrell, he get what was it? Eight episodes? 10 episodes?
Alfredo Brown:Maybe nine? I something like that. Like, yeah, he had the penguin he he was the penguin in the Batman, but we all just we got maybe, I think, fifteen total minutes of him in that. And we we just I'm not. Enjoyed it.
Jagger May:That's what I did. Yeah. Woah.
Alfredo Brown:Take it easy, sweetheart. Yeah.
Matthew Kopfhamer:Well, you'll speak no
Jagger May:Spanish? No
Alfredo Brown:hablo espanol, fellas. Yeah. It's just it's just amazing. Like, he had all the best one liners from that movie. They give him this show, and he just absolutely knocks us out of the park.
Alfredo Brown:And for this to be just a a TV only award and looking at what he did in just this series alone, fucking phenomenal. Absolutely phenomenal. Alright. We got two awards left, and the next one up here is the binge for the best actress. And the nominees are Kristen Milioti in the Penguin, Britt Lauer for Severance, Katherine Hahn, Agatha All Along, Rashida Jones for Black Mirror, and Denise Go in Andor.
Alfredo Brown:And the winner for best actress in a series goes to Britt Lauer for Severance. Guys, this was one that we debated. Some might say we masturbated. Nope. Too far.
Alfredo Brown:Too far. Too far. We're going walk that one back. We're going to walk that one back. Sat a line, but he's right.
Alfredo Brown:Yeah. This one was a big debate between Britt Lauer and Kristen Milioti because both of them were just phenomenal. And and, honestly, I wanted to give the award to both. Where I got pushed to Britt Lauer from Chris Amilioti was just what you guys said is that she she does the she does the Robert Downey junior in Tropic Thunder where she's
Jagger May:I'm the dude.
Alfredo Brown:A character disguised as another character playing another character. Like, she's just so many different levels into this character of of Helena and Helly. And as much as Kristen Miliotti had to go from, like, playing clinically insane to normal to someone that you resonate with, Britt Lauer, man. Like, this was just we didn't know who she was when she was doing this role. And I think that was the biggest indicator of just talent.
Matthew Kopfhamer:There are still arguments on the Internet about the last, like, episode and the last scene. Is she Hallie or Hallena in that moment? So she literally did such a good job acting that people could not tell some people could not tell that she had to come out as herself and be like, hey, dum dums, this was Hallie in this last moment. Like, that's how we shot this.
Jagger May:That's This is like technology that tells you. So I don't know how to fuck that up. Yeah.
Matthew Kopfhamer:I know. But, you know, some people don't watch things, you know, immediate literacy stuff.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:But to be fair, right, like, sorry. Go ahead, Cough.
Matthew Kopfhamer:No. I'm just saying, like, the fact that she was able to so convincingly play those two characters that it was literally a question for some audience members of which character she's representing in that scene. Just to me goes to the testament of like how deeply she got into those roles that she was able to mask basically back and forth and confuse the audience in some in some way.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:And I, it becomes a bit more obvious when you go back and watch it because you know what's gonna happen, but that's how good she is. She plays Helly r, and we know what Helly r's mannerisms are, how she walks, how she talks. She plays Helena Egan. She plays Helena Egan acting as Helena Egan, and that's a different version. She she doesn't play two characters.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:She plays at least three different characters here, and she does a really, really masterful job. The kind of stuff we saw when, like, right, like, speaking of Helena, like, Helena Bonham Carter is, like, she's acting as Remini acting as Bellatrix Lestrange type stuff. Like, it was just a really, really incredible performance. And it almost hurt to say because when we were reviewing the penguin, didn't we just say give the Emmy Christian Moliati? We said it so many times.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:You weren't even you weren't on our group yet. Coffee up for the podcast. Like, we just said, she's the Emmy. It's gotta go to her. So for the penguin?
Alfredo Brown:You left a really good
Jagger May:impression on pig for the
Vignesh Doraiswamy:I don't know, man. I don't remember, dude. Maybe you were. I forgot. I'm I I have new dad.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:I've had kids since
Matthew Kopfhamer:then. So Yeah.
Alfredo Brown:You didn't even finish the penguin with us. You're hating ass shit.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:That's I watched it later.
Jagger May:That's so true.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:What's your
Alfredo Brown:score for the penguin?
Vignesh Doraiswamy:All the time. What's up? Nine and a half out of 10. Outstanding show.
Alfredo Brown:Oh, you you you fucking Did you all
Jagger May:give it tens?
Alfredo Brown:We all gave it tens. All
Vignesh Doraiswamy:gave it 10.
Jagger May:You're such a hater. That was great.
Alfredo Brown:You're such a hater. 9.5. Yeah.
Jagger May:Okay. Biggest hater. Not Ozkob. It's Finnish. Yes.
Vignesh Doraiswamy:The biggest hater is Matthew Cobb Hammer for Dune Prophecy. I have a close second place.
Jagger May:Damn it. I wanna burn that show to the ground.
Alfredo Brown:Alright, guys. You done?
Matthew Kopfhamer:Yes.
Alfredo Brown:Need to separate you two? We good? No. Alright. Final award.
Alfredo Brown:Jag, take us home.
Jagger May:It's a big one. The most bingeable series. That's the best category
Alfredo Brown:for prestigious award, I think.
Jagger May:Easily. It's Yeah. Like like I think it's at least above a Golden Globe. But our nominees, the Penguin, Andor, Severance, X Men 97, big popular show here. And the winner is, you guessed it, Severance season two.
Jagger May:No notes. Until fucking dope. So
Alfredo Brown:Yeah. Yeah. No notes. Fucking amazing.
Matthew Kopfhamer:If you haven't watched it, go watch it.
Alfredo Brown:Yeah. Up until, what, ninety seconds ago, the penguins, Severance, and Andor were all tied with perfect tens. And then Vig came in here and said, not in my podcast.
Matthew Kopfhamer:Darn. Darn it.

Alfredo Brown:would make Severance season two and Andor season two our perfect shows that we've watched with the Penguin in a close second and X Men 97 in a very close third as well.

That's a guy in a tank top and a bow tie.
Alfredo Brown:Go watch these four shows because you have just missed out on incredible pop culture in the past calendar year. These four shows were absolutely amazing. If you even enjoyed this this podcast or or you missed on one of these shows, go back and try to watch it because these were just TV felt I don't think that TV I was as worried about TV as I was movies.
