Season two.

Just have livestream.

Jariah.

Get out of here.

I'm ready.

My brain is perfectly deflated right now.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm ready to be reinflated by all the saturated colors in the sort of defense.

Yeah.

I'm horny.

Let's go.

Guys, thank you so much for joining us.

You can get the full reaction watch along at our Patreon by the way.

Huzzah.

Are you thinking about your own copy?

Netflix, of course.

Help support the channel against the many copyright claims that come in here.

I'm noxiously lately.

Another great way to support the channels.

Rejectationshop.com.

That's an option.

Well, John Gregory.

What do you think Simon was?

I think he was.

We actually missed him in the background of so many shots.

I would love if that was the case where he's actually on screen a ton.

And you just have to figure out which blurry background actor he is.

That's what we use AI for.

That's what we use AI.

I enhance that include Simon here.

Yeah.

Give me an exact replica of Bridgerton season two, but just throw Simon in there.

Simon in the background.

Just make him always hanging out at Mondrages.

He never says anything.

He just looks up once in a while.

And he's like, yeah.

Waiting for Daphne to be done with whatever shit she's doing at the Bernier 10 hours.

Yeah.

Okay.

So for Simon.

The main storylines, feathering 10.

Lady whistle then.

Eloise.

Can't the need.

Can't the need.

Is that what we call them?

Yeah.

I don't know.

I just saw a patron asked that question.

Can't.

By the way, you guys could ask questions and we can answer them at our Patreon page.

What do we do here?

Well, what do you feel about can't the need finally say and they love each other?

It was very cathartic.

I was very happy for them.

This was they they rung out every last drop of that will they won't they freaking get an obstacle

out of the way.

Self-imposed obstacles, societal obstacles, yada yada.

There was a point during this episode, certainly, where I was like, we're on the finale.

How are they going to wrap this up?

Because it's like halfway through the episode.

It still seems dubious as to whether they'll get together.

Yeah.

But I was very overjoyed when it finally happened and when you get those ending moments

that are so awash in joyous romance and you know, we gooey lovingness.

I was very enthralled.

But how did you feel about their culminative romance?

I really liked it a lot.

It's difficult position because it really didn't do anything that wrong.

What do you think about it?

Outside of them just happened to fall in love with each other.

But they didn't really participate in activities.

They just came kind of close.

Part of the stuff that's wrong is verbosing to the sister and getting engaged almost very

forcing this bond to nearly happen and putting this emotional trauma upon it.

It is the definition of it's complicated.

It's a very complicated situation.

And I did like though were we ultimately ended up and I thought them getting the pathway

to being in love felt very natural.

They earned it because it was like a couple episodes of them not being able to be together.

So by the time you actually get to this final moment, I can understand characters getting to a point of understanding.

And this whole season seemed to be primarily about accepting how you really feel.

That's the way it was for every character here except who you truly are.

Don't stop denying it, embrace it, feel your feelings.

I like the line that she says, Edwina says, and one of the actions is be feelings.

I don't want an interesting way to put that.

So feel your feelings and be true to who you really are.

It was the entire season.

And I thought they kind of landed that note in a really big way.

What are consequences that can come from not being yourself and being honest with yourself and with others.

And what rewards can there be from being honest with yourself and being honest with others.

So I thought the season actually had to hit a really, really good note on it.

The entire time.

So about the Featherington narrative.

That turn it took saga, man.

It's been very fun to watch.

It's been very fun.

Like as a season one, I was like, oh, man, I'm going to hate in an intentional way.

The show intends kind of way lady Featherington.

But what I've loved about them is like, by the end of this season, I'm like, yeah,

they're oftentimes where we're at odds with you or where you're not in a good position.

But like, I've come to really enjoy her as a character specifically.

And watching her really kind of watching how she basically has to do everything for this family.

And you know, she as much as at first you're like, oh, God, you need to stop.

The more we get into this whole partnership with her and cousin Jack,

you are like, you are the brains here.

And it's a harsh world.

And so I sympathize with your position.

Other daughters are always good for a laugh, I feel like.

And props to those actresses because they have to play these two characters that are like

a little bit wamp, wamp by comparison to everybody else.

So yeah, all that.

And then, you know, the back and forth with cousin Jack and all the swindling and call and getting involved.

Very fun, very fun.

He's got a good like, he's fun to watch because he's slimy.

And when he's doing punchable things, he has a very punchable face.

So I had a, I got a big kick out of that.

And then everything with pen and, you know, Eloise was pretty, pretty harsh.

I feel like they've gone for more like heavy, like even though it's not like the main plot line of a lot of the episodes.

Like the plot lines where we are like on Eloise and Penelope.

I felt like just mounting tension until we get to the ending bit here.

But the general feathering tends like a huge kick out.

And it was very cathartic at the end to see her, you know, dress them down, send them back to the states.

It's good shit.

I guess I never really got this at the end of the day.

It is true.

Lady Featherington does care about her daughters.

And it's weird because it wasn't until she said that.

When it made me look back on as much as I could remember of her character and seeing she's had this entire time.

Because when she first said that, my mind went, you do.

Oh yeah, everything does kind of in her own fucked up way.

Yeah, go back to take care of her family.

I always thought it was, I mean, of course, there's a percentage of that that is about herself.

And protecting her own reputation and being able to have the goods.

But everything did always go back to giving something to the daughter.

But I was of the impression that it was about like what prop it up the daughters did for her.

You know, like using your kids more than anything else is what I thought.

And I guess though, in her own best of way, she didn't think that.

So I can see how that is the straw that broke the camel's back.

And she's more, he's more selfish than she is.

Because I think you're right. She's ready to marry her daughter off to him.

But at the same time, yeah, I guess like whatever her machinations it always comes with.

Well, you know, we're trying to get you into freaking nice dresses.

I'm trying to get you a freaking dowry.

Like, you know, it's all play.

It's all inside the game of this society.

And so it seems like whatever her machinations part of the goal is to get the girls into or at least the two sisters.

It seems like she focuses on Penelope much.

But you know, it seems like the goal is to get them set up to.

Yeah.

You know, even if she's using them.

Well, we got some questions from our royals.

Let's do hand out.

There's some.

I have observed them briefly.

Excellent.

So let's kick it off here with San Rack.

Both seasons now have had something of cliffhanger that teases Penelope's storyline with.

And beyond the Bridgetins.

What do you both hope for Penelope moving forward with Colin with that will be Lady whistle down giving how these seasons have moved her story forward?

I want one episode where she goes into the print shop.

And there's someone there as Lady whistle down in a mask.

Oh, then when she takes off her mask, it is just looks just like Penelope.

Oh, no.

And she has somehow created.

A personification entity where she has her own own memories and identity.

This lady whistle got like a surrogate.

FG is up for mind.

Yeah, yeah.

She willed it into existence.

So kind of supernatural being.

And now she's got to have a dueling gossip column because you can't control this anymore.

Her season three is people, not people's favorite.

Oh, really?

Sorry about you.

That's what they do.

See, funny.

I see too much of a sci-fi.

Definitely.

So I mean, you know, we'll see because that's what I've been saying this whole time.

Is this one thing they need is a little bit of, you know, sci-fi.

I am.

The one thing, one of the few things I do have a mild amount of context for what season three may be about just because I remember.

I remember certain things happening in the press, not like specific details or anything.

But they're just certain people who were giving interviews about Bridgerton at the time where I was like, oh, okay.

Gotcha.

I don't know.

Like with lady whistle down, clearly she is stopping.

I don't think obviously we're not going to hear from her in young Queen Charlotte or whatever.

How do you feel about this land or thrown at Penelope this entire episode?

They feel about the way the show treated my Penelope.

Yes.

Yeah, I better try it lightly right now.

No, I thought everyone wronged her.

She was 100% in the right.

It was tough.

Louise was just definitely jealous.

Definitely was.

She was just telling him to accomplish something.

Penelope wasn't lashing out on that moment.

She was proving to know how this point is what she was doing.

I think that they both have points.

I think that, you know, it was a very good argument.

I thought their back and forth was good.

And you know, how could you not feel the way Louise has felt, especially when you're like,

you're protecting me, you could have just come out and revealed yourself and protected us all.

That's a seven degree.

It's like a superhero problem.

Yeah, exactly.

When your closest friend finds out you're the mass vigilante.

Yeah, it's like you can't argue there's nothing selfish about this.

But at the same time, you have more power and you are capable of doing more.

And that makes the stuff throughout the season earlier on in the season where, you know,

Eloise is more politically minded, societally minded.

Ideas are rubbing off on whistle down or on penelope.

I mean, yeah, I don't know.

It seems like conflict will continue to brew with Eloise.

I wonder if Colin, that was really rough with him.

So fucked up over here.

Just when I got on Colin's side.

I know.

And part of me is like, gone on his side.

Are they going to come back to that moment and then do like a dot, dot, dot where it's like she leaves.

And then he actually went on to say like, I would never consider it.

Unless we were getting married and starting a life together.

There's a whole second passage that we missed.

Or if it was, I don't know.

I wonder with Colin, I have like, I, I don't know.

Part of me is like because they do so much play tonic with them.

Part of me is like, are they secretly going to actually pay that off romantically?

Part of me doesn't really expect it now, but I don't know.

Maybe that's where they want me.

I don't know, man.

I'm back and forth to Colin, but that was a real douchey thing.

That was not cool.

If I was in this universe, eh, I would have asked for her.

Man, I never had a marriage by now.

Yeah.

Be, if I heard Colin say that.

Trying to the kisser.

Yeah, killing the front of everybody.

In the kisser.

I'd be hanged.

For what I did to a bridge or tint.

Yeah.

When they just got their cloud back, like 10 seconds ago.

I hope.

Well, I heard in the book, you don't find out.

She's laid-eed whistle down till at book four.

Someone.

Yeah.

You know how he.

Okay.

So he did rivalry.

Yes.

The first book.

I think he did rivalries.

The name of the second book.

And the first book is called Game Changer.

And that one's about Kipp and Scott.

Gotcha.

So then they did a very condensed version of Kipp and Scott.

In the heated rivalry season.

Yes.

So I'm wondering if they borrowed elements of season of book four.

They're throwing it in here.

Like, does this stuff happen in the book?

This showdown and Lady Whistle Down?

I mean, with Penelope and Eloise.

This conversation.

Is this just for the show?

Like, how much did they invent a lot just for the show?

Because we're getting so much insights into book.

This is book two.

They're adapting.

But they keep putting a lot of what Penelope is doing.

You know.

Yeah.

So it's got to be like an adaptation, right?

Or they're making shit up just for the Netflix show.

I think you could in some ways if you really kept an eye on the geography.

Yeah.

You could take...

Okay.

This character's main storyline from this book.

And then, yeah, the Lady Whistle Down stuff.

You could probably retrofit around other plot lines or something.

Yeah.

Well, I hope her and Eloise do better together.

And I hope that they get along again eventually.

Maybe they could partner up and both be Whistle Down.

Yeah.

They could take down this entire society.

Yeah.

Absolutely.

Lady Wokele Down.

But I loved it.

I loved what they're doing with her.

And I like how they made it challenging.

Even I had a moment where I'm like, oh.

Penelope.

It's not a good look, man.

It's not a good look.

But everyone makes mistakes.

Yeah.

I don't love perfection.

In fact, I'm glad you made these.

I love these.

I need to know you were humans.

In fact, I was getting worried there until you made this one today.

And now they're too perfect.

I love you felt more unattainable.

Tell me.

Now I know that you're one percent human.

We can move on.

Now you're relatable.

We can, yeah.

We can consummate this.

All right.

Let's do that.

Taros.

Ooh.

Three-jack nation.

Do you ever feel like life is just constantly moving?

Like, you're always on the go.

Always in a rush.

And eating healthy is the thing that keeps getting pushed aside.

That's for me for a few years now.

And it could be a real struggle to maintain eating healthy.

And that's honestly why we've become so dependent on what's this stuff at Hule.

What a natural segue that is.

But also, we've got three fridges around here.

And we have these fridges stocked with the ready to drink.

A lot of times going to events from here.

I bring them with me.

You'll often see coin.

I drink them on camera for a reason.

Because it is a complete meal and a bottle.

35 grams of protein.

27 essential vitamins and minerals.

Slow release carbs.

No artificial sweeteners.

Gluten free.

And it actually helps keep us full.

I would drink Hule while on my cut where I lost a crap ton of weight last year.

Koi currently on a cut for the past few months.

And he's drinking these a few times a week.

Plus it's under five bucks, which makes it way easier to stay consistent.

And then when I want something a little bit more built.

I'll use the black edition powder.

We got so much in that other room right over there.

You can light it with frozen fruit.

I sometimes I mix it with my hydration drinks.

Same complete nutrition.

Just more customizable.

And now even though no longer on a cut, I've been working on maintenance.

It helps so much more to have something like this to main pain.

So if you're like me,

we're the days feel non-stop.

This makes staying on track simple and delicious.

Tara, Tara, hey guys.

I love the scene where Mama Bridgerton tells Anthony that Kate woke up and also the scene with Anthony and his youngest brother Gregory.

Talking about their dad.

Steven.

Steven.

His brother Anthony.

And their sister Megan had a screen.

Those scenes are so tender.

What are your favorite tender moments from this season?

I mean, that's a really good scene.

They had a lot of amazing scenes together.

Yeah.

When Mama Bridgerton and Anthony, it's hard like I'm trying to think back over the rest of the show.

When Mama Bridgerton and Anthony had their conversation in this last episode before the later bit where she's like talking to him on the couch.

And he doesn't really say anything.

She's like giving the speech again about how like, look, you know, I want you.

Don't close your life off.

I want you to be able to, you know, yes, I missed your father.

And I know that like all this stuff happened because we were both processing and yada yada yada.

But like, you've got to, yeah, embrace your life and learn to live it, you know.

Yeah.

And not, yeah, stifle yourself as lovely scene.

Two, like getting to see the dad in episode three in that actor again who's like a vaguely recognizable face.

And I think that helps because you only see him that one time and then again in the painting.

But because you have some recognition, like it makes him feel like a memory kind of.

And I thought that was the casting of that was really nice.

But also just the scene getting to see them having fun before the actual tragedy strikes was was really lovely.

Good points.

Well,

I, my, one of my favorite moments of the entire series occurred in this episode where the queen surprised me by taking control of the narrative.

And saying like it only fell apart because I instructed it to.

And then a wiener stepping up and validating the narrative.

I think the queen off saying about the prince, like that scene just like did like a slingshot because the queen, he knows the queen.

Yeah.

And she's really back and forth on like, she's, you know, fucking boarded a drug addict and really bad marriage going on.

She says like, she's very self serving a lot of time.

And then other times she surprises you with her level of care that she actually has.

And clearly the pain that she has in her marriage.

And that moment surprised me because I thought, oh, she's going to have a big like, what the fuck?

And said she took a completely different 180.

In a way that was didn't seem like just to benefit herself for she didn't take a personal or found it like a betrayal.

She owned it and protected.

Yeah.

And that loving act I found to be an incredible mother.

That's like a moment from the show I'll never forget.

Yeah.

I would agree with that.

So yeah, I love that moment a lot.

I just highlight that scene.

And that one scene too where we see, you know, Simon and Daphne just living happily together.

It's a great moment.

Yeah, where he's like sitting on the toilet.

Yeah.

Bouncing their 10 babies.

Yeah.

All right.

Let's do care bear.

Oh.

Nice.

Oh, I mean, when Anthony calls Kate Kathani, viewers, hearts stopped.

Yes.

Mine did too.

And immigrants often have to adopt nicknames society can readily accept pronounced.

So we're going to put much thought into it.

It struck me because we've never heard her.

I was like, oh, I don't think my mom is like, I don't think I've ever heard the thought before.

But I didn't like that.

I didn't draw that correlation.

But I appreciate you pointing that out.

So Anthony's choice to use Kate's given name when proposing was powerful.

Oh, man.

If Romance saw about the hard-stopping moments, what's your favorite swoon moment from any TV film?

Oh, boy.

Oh.

God, I don't know.

That's a thinker.

Golly, I would have to think.

Oh, boy.

I always am appreciative that whenever Dan Merle is on a live stream and people ask him these questions,

he says the thing that I always want to be able to articulate, which is like,

I know I have a good answer.

And like, I'll have to sit here and like think it's not going to be fun to watch.

So like, I'll try and come up with whatever comes to mind.

This kind of question propels me to be like, OK, wait a minute.

Let me revisit every romantic movie I've ever seen.

Well, one of my favorite moments.

Have you seen Notting Hill?

No.

Well, it's a romantic comedy.

So at one point, Hugh Grant and Julie Roberts do kiss at some point in that movie.

And the first time, not the first time, the second time she kisses him.

If you guys have seen the movie, you know what moment that is?

That always stuck with me.

I really love that moment a lot.

I love the end of that movie too.

I don't want to give it away.

I don't want to give any context to the room, but there's the final line Hugh Grant has in that.

It's a very, very final line that he has in that movie.

That was like a hilarious and heart touching line.

So yeah, I would say that.

Golly, when they finally, like when things finally allow for the romance at the end of Moonstruck,

I think that's pretty amazing.

That's one of my favorite movies.

One of the best movies ever made, Moonstruck.

Very romantic, very wonderful movie.

I pick any number of romantic moments out of the before trilogy.

I'll have to rack my brain on this one.

There are too many good ones.

But those are some that come to mind.

Anna Karen, thank you for chiming in.

I hope y'all enjoyed Cantony this season.

I think I was more drawn to Anthony than I think I was more drawn to Anthony than Simon was

because when I saw Simon, I saw the actor just acting.

And with Johnny, I did feel like I was watching Anthony.

I don't know if that makes sense.

Oh, I get you.

I love that a lot of the time.

He said a lot without saying anything.

My question is, which Bridgerton sibling are you most excited to see be the lead?

Benedict Benedict.

Right now.

Or now you've seen their acting range.

You can just tell they are going to kill it in their season.

Benedict.

Benedict.

That's it.

Very simple answer for you, Benedict.

Benedict.

And then then a Gregory season.

Like, I enjoyed.

Oh, yeah.

Got to have Gregory season.

They gave him lines for a reason.

Season five.

But Benedict's performance in this season was great.

And I enjoyed him.

I thought it was charming in the first season, but the range and the Wednesday they provided

him while not losing, but also expanding depth on him.

It was awesome.

I'm really excited to see.

I knew he was like the lead of season four while we were doing season one.

And I was, I never watched it in season one, like looking forward to season two.

Got him.

I was like, oh, I could see how he could be the lead.

I enjoyed him a lot in this season.

Yeah.

I love all of his stuff.

I'm easily right there with you.

Yeah.

Nina drummer.

Daphne and Simon explored the fake dating romance trope.

Now they're exploring the fake marriage room while Kate and Anthony explored.

They're exploring the my husband's dead and bridged up in the cellar.

We're exploring why is your husband always so busy to come into one of our parties.

Well, Kate and Anthony explored.

Does your husband not like me trope?

She avoided me trope.

Why would he just come talk to me trope?

Well, Kate and Anthony explored.

And it meets the lovers trope.

Now they see the pattern for each season.

Bridgerton siblings fall in love.

A major romance trope.

Il.

Not siblings.

Are there any romance tropes about want to see a future season?

Boa first sight.

Are you saying these are not what we get?

Or are these all the things we get?

These are some example.

These are some example.

Reasons or those major romance tropes.

Let's see what we got.

Oh, there's a master list on Reddit.

Let's do that.

Let's do it.

Let's go.

Well, this is a very huge master list.

I want to see Frankenstein's monster bride trope.

Yes.

Yes.

I want to see them do a harem.

I want to see one character marrying five people.

There's something like that.

I want to see a story of someone falling in love in an orgy.

You know, you've just never seen that.

Yeah.

That would be nice.

We get that's the Benedict.

We've met in an orgy fell in love.

I thought this list was going to help.

Go back one page.

There was a more succinct list up there.

Let's do it.

There you go.

Enemy's lovers, friends to lovers, fake relationship.

All right.

Grumpy sunshine's fun.

I think I love triangle between the siblings would be fun.

That would be fun.

I'd be gross as fuck.

Colin Benedict and some other girl.

Colin Benedict.

Yeah.

Some hot girl.

Dude, how about secret billionaire?

That's a trope we could do.

They should do like ones were the races.

Or they're like, oh, you can't be with.

You just find out the moms like mom bed and mom versions.

It's like, I'm not racist.

I just never got along with Armenian people.

That's the one type of person.

I forbid you from marrying Colin.

Can't marry in our meetings.

The mom's overcoming her racism towards Armenian.

Racist to tolerance.

That's the trope I want.

I want to see a white savior, Bridgerton movie.

Now, I would say I would say I love triangle with the Bridgerton movie.

Yeah.

That would be funny.

That would be good one.

It's two Bridgerton's and Penn.

That would be great.

Yeah.

Jay Rushden.

Jay says if this was cameo.

Wait, if this was, if there was a cameo in Bridgerton for the James Bond of 1814,

who would you pick?

Like which bond or someone to play bond?

One of each.

All right.

Timothy Dalton, regardless, I think we'll work in this era.

But if you had to cast someone who I guess the game becomes your casting a James Bond cameo in this show.

Oh, yeah.

I think it would be like a doctor who's situation where like they were not young and hot in early doctor who they were like they're like the real van Helsing.

You know, an old grumpy guy, not Hugh Jackman.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I would say who played Hagrid a Robbie Coltrane.

Yeah.

He should be James Bond.

Okay.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

How about then my pick for modern would be for actual.

George Lasmpie.

Okay.

Because no one would recognize me.

No.

It's a real spy for you.

Yeah.

That's the guy.

That's what you want.

Yeah.

I'm in a cast for the 1814 James Bridgerton.

We're going to cast Richard Jenkins.

Old Bond of the time.

He'd have to be an old dignified guy.

Yeah.

Plus it'd be cool to see an American play a Brit on an all British show.

It's what I'm waiting for.

Where's our American Bond?

Yeah.

No, Idris Elba.

It's this world.

What do you do in Idris Elba Bond here?

Idris Elba would be great in Bridgerton.

Dude, he would be.

Are you kidding me?

He would be an amazing love interest in Bridgerton.

Yeah.

Oh my god.

He'd be so charming.
