what is it a small impact a few minutes ago cool and tubing took ahead sleeping pretty bad it’s random out there God damn it dude no visible signs of damage David he sure is cool in four God damn it David you should have like a code word with your wife yeah safe word huh where the hell are you bathroom where’s my tag my tag put it back he sabotage it what now nobody gets to use oh no Jesus Christ what did you do oh no no no no please let this be like you wanted him
to feel like you’ve just did painting it’s just alizarin Crimson everybody don’t worry I hope he’s just trying to make a point enough oh no he actually did it oh whoa oh and that same spinning hot head shot too the bookends tragedy bookends yeah you want him to experience it what I can’t just end like that truly alone together wow I was messed up interesting yes I was really well done because it kept going the route that you would expect it to go and then right before it across that line there we go and then
we’re going a different way yeah like every single time it you know like right down to the whole thing with the uh affair with not the affair but kind of yeah uh with it with the wife with the painting and yeah getting all clothes you just never you’re like oh he’s gonna hijack his butt he does it’s like I did not see that coming where he would murder them in the end yeah I mean the guy’s just so try like just went too far he’s he’s completely traumatized and also like as detached as one could
possibly become yeah it was uh just said he’s just holding on to the fantasy as the one thing giving him hope yeah cracks truly truly a lesson in in Hope sometimes being more cruel maybe now you’ll appreciate everything wow that was amazing that was that was so transportive what an experience that was a movie yeah it really was this is a couple is his length of a movie yeah that’s a real film right there it has all like all the atmosphere and all the yeah just breath of a film I wish it had it didn’t
have the open-ended foreign like an open-ended ending I like when things have an open-ended conclusion but it doesn’t I don’t know I was like oh I want to know that he killed him he certainly should kill him he probably should but it’s like Josh hartnett’s become so dangerous he did that so fast yeah yeah it’s like he he could only have been out there for I mean it it must have been a minute but it wasn’t like an hour it doesn’t seem like it seems like it was like 15 or 20 minutes he was out
there yeah if that and yeah the acting was so amazing from everyone here superb Aaron Paul playing dual roles here really able to distinguish it without her feeling he’s doing a Josh hartnet impression Josh Hartnett going from that All-American astronaut into this Hollow Man Who Would seemed like it’d seemed like he’s weak when he’s in spike in space and it becomes like just the monster by the end yeah um yeah I love the aesthetic the landscape I love how they chose to make it with the 60s at the time of masculinity especially for men like
this where emotions were so much more detail like where the ability to not really identify how you’re feeling can just consume you and I love the the the feigning of man who really is in tune with his emotions with Josh Hartnett but he’s really not obviously yeah you know not for real yeah oh wow that was that was wild that was that was so wild it was so it was like such a simple movie it was a simple it was simple well because it’s so so complicated yeah it’s it’s so human and I do appreciate
like you said yeah that they kind of let things just unfold in what feels like a very gradual sort of sensory sort of way and yeah it flirts with all the things you’re expecting and it does a couple of them and I don’t know yeah there’s such a I don’t know it felt like it had this like nicely sort of sophisticated tone because it’s yeah it’s like it’s not pulpy but it does have just like this constant sense of dread and ominousness and just like something is wrong yeah and you’re just watching in like Advanced
slow motion this this horrible circumstance get worse and yeah like I too I appreciate the way they draw the characters because your sympathies and your you know identifications drift and you know you obviously meet them in a way that demonstrates yeah Josh Hartnett is you know certainly the more gregarious social type and Aaron Paul is very closed off uh and then I don’t know yeah it’s like it didn’t really ever feel cliche like there’s an easily cliche version of this that they could have gone down and you know it does a lot of things that
you would expect but just not in the way or with the tone you would it doesn’t ever devolve into being like a silly mellow drama like it does feel like this harsh confusing situation and when he’s like breaking down uh the David character he’s like I have nothing in this world any longer I’m basically I’m alone up here with you you know on this Mission we’re just continuing to drift out into Oblivion and like yeah you you can fathom away in which this almost could work and it had especially given the time and place that’s
in it like it just yeah seems like a complete recipe for disaster born of an attempted altruism which is so tragic and so horrible that was gratifying yeah and I added like again we’ve said it but like hats off to the performances so much because too like I it was nice surprise to see Josh Hartnett back and see him you know in a in a really you know juicy role like this but also like Aaron Paul like I I love Aaron Paul and for some reason I always have like this same like process when I
see him in something new I’m like oh yeah you know it’s Aaron Paul I’m gonna see kind of Aaron Pauling it when I really jump into whatever the thing is you know it’s easy to think of like Aaron Paul and Jesse but like he’s so good at embodying very different characters and just in going through the spectrum of emotion and what feels like such a natural like when he’s breaking down in the woods it was like such a beautiful unbroken take of that and uh and yeah he always impresses me and at the outset I’m
always like I’m gonna like him in it but you know I’m gonna be aware of Tim and then you know he’ll slip into these roles in ways I I don’t expect and I think that’s really impressive and Kate Mara too I thought she she did a really nice job kind of being in this horribly unfortunate position between the both of them and yeah it’s like you’re in some ways you’re rooting for Cliff but Cliff is also like not the best guy so like you see how David is the better match in a lot of ways
and Cliff clearly does care but yeah he just doesn’t have touch or access to his emotional Spectrum enough at all to really kind of make good on that and yeah it’s like it’s just such a tragic story from every possible angle and then finally at the very end it gets you know super Twisted again and even that a whole bit with a Manson the Manson gang at the top was gnarly but uh yeah it’s like it’s it’s funny because it’s such a again such a naturalistic such a I know we name checked uh Terence Malik
it has that sort of like tactile life thing about it and yet it feels like very sci-fi at the same time even though the Sci-Fi the like the physical sci-fi elements are like pretty grounded those are my favorite kind of Black Mirror episodes when it’s not really about explaining a technological thing that they’re watching The Human Experience and the association and how it with your mind based off of the connection that you form with the technology so even though this is not necessary like it’s a play on the on the Avatar thing you know yeah
uh which I feel like one day they’ll be able to develop something like that which I feel like would be really cool um but I I think having like the that as I call family was very much like uh the Manson family for sure like that’s exactly what they were going for there and the Culkin prep that was it was you know Severance is that the shortest time it’s not that Culkin I don’t think it’s it’s a difference yeah I think it’s a lot shorter yeah it’s uh I don’t know that I yeah he’s one
of the coke yeah yeah another Culkin with another very culkiny name well they’re smart to really let that feel insanely disturbing like the effect of that uh just you’re you’re left with the impact to constantly have you sympathize for Josh hartnett’s character so much to the point that even when he’s crossing the line you’re like you’re across in the library there’s always this is how to do this like but dude I I understand why your your psyche has led you down this path yeah yeah you gotta reel it in but then when Aaron Paul starts
going off on him they were like dude like yeah why you’re so mad you gotta get this guy you’ve got one hour yeah a week yeah and you get to spend all this time there yeah and he’s he’s been through hell and back and you have no idea what he’s had to do and he’s just like this this love these kind of men are constantly about having to put on the display of composure at all times even when they’re in their most frail fragile States in their life they have to just maintain some level of
everything’s all right when it’s not um and like when he’s going off at him in the end you’re like damn it we were so close to just having some kind of strange resolve but then you shattered him there it’s like you wanted to hurt him yeah so bad when you know it’s like like no amount of break they get allows them to have any sort of refl like reflection or understanding of what the other person is like they you lose such sight of that so if I loved how the human the portrayals were of the
of these men yeah that their flaws get the best of them in every way Aaron Paul specifically like starting off as a person is like very understanding and because like yeah Josh Hartnett takes advantage of him in every way because he literally lends him his body to be able to have an external thing he didn’t have to do and then he’s going out there saying like you’re he’s not man enough for you and all that because dealing with reality is too tough you know this is a story of a man who does who cannot successfully
grieve and when it was like that there’s the biggest fear moment to me was when Aaron Paul like unloaded on him at the very end yeah and it’s like my wife says that she makes her vomit the thought of you um because too much yeah you’re like God I know what he did was like he crossed the line but yeah one party is like understanding it oh like across the line put yourself in this case because they do these nice nuanced touches with getting you to understand the kind of manner and Paul is with being
closed off and like also the whole thing about like hitting the sun like you never see it you never see him like actually hit the key you never see this kid once get hit but even when Josh Hartnett when embodying Aaron Paul’s body you know hits the kid even Aaron Paul’s like understanding of that like you’ve got to keep that kid in line you got to keep that kid in line like you get the idea of the mentality of this kind of who this man is and you’d think that Aaron Paul would be softer like
we’re going to move to the countryside we’re going to isolate ourselves and he and he speaks softly to his wife you know but you see that there is this violent guy in him okay this possessive guy and while Josh Hartnett is like the bigger guy you know like when Aaron Paul’s like standing up to him like that speaks to the prowess of Aaron Paul’s performance where when he’s getting in Josh harnett’s face you believe that Josh Arnett is like scared yeah he’s like intimidated by him because he’s in such a weak state that you wouldn’t
actually expect him to cross the line to such a violent path of that Recreation and also punishment for being hurt so bad that he really feels like you know you’re just not deserving of this and and how painful it was what kmar did but I love the way the way they handled the kmar situation because she easily could have been exactly the affair woman you know like like I said it just keeps going down like we both said it just keeps going down the path of where you expect it to go and then the second
they start going to that line they shift course you know the second they start actually he starts getting touchy feely with her and like you know breathing on her neck she’s tempted by it and then she walks away from the situation never gives into the situation again and she stands up to him and says like you manip you’re being manipulative you were trying to shower me with gifts and trying to get into my my mind and heart when you are just taking advantage of a situation right now like they made her someone very mature in
this versus what most things would do which is exactly what I thought they were gonna do yeah you know they kept saying like this is where it’s going this is where it’s going she’s going to sleep with this guy it’s gonna get sexual I’m gonna have an affair and maybe Josh Arnett’s gonna take over his body yeah yeah I mean you know you think it’s going more that direction and the way they have her hold her ground as a strong woman like allowing her to have her flaws and you know allowing her to have her
moments of weakness with temptation but then giving her giving giving you an understanding of where she’s coming from with that scene that she has in Aaron Paul Barn where she is lamenting all of her emotions and he’s actually finally listening to her for the first time I thought was such a nuanced scene because you know they established so much that he’s willing to like he’s willing to hit someone you know and like he’s probably gonna hit her he’s probably gonna hit her right now yeah and he doesn’t instead he listens you know so in some
ways what Josh Harnett did was the path to them healing the relationship and then he just it up he went two weeks way too far yeah it’s like he illuminated all the things that you’re missing and yeah I love the way he played that because it’s almost like yeah the kind of guy that Aaron Paul that character is you kind of believe like oh I guess you would just be capable of missing what your wife is clearly expressing through her demeanor through this entire situation and uh yeah I like to as much as you know
part of you wants the satisfaction of like kill him man at the same time I like the way they draw the scenario in space because it does seem like it’s a two-man Mission and if you know unless both of us are going to perish we need the two of us up here and now it’s like there’s nothing else so it is kind of like a question mark of just like the human survival Instinct now and they are like bonded in the worst way possible and that actually kind of tickles my imagination a little bit because
I I yeah and part of me is like he could easily kill him and he’s got nothing else to live for so they’ll just both die but I could also see how like in a Twisted way maybe they just won’t kill each other and we’ll just see this Mission out and just be damaged and Beyond damaged forever yeah and yeah just I don’t know the depth of depravity like yeah the the true break within that David character is something fascinating because two it’s like they both get objectified in the in the traditional way you think
look sexual but like the whole family is like this object because Aaron Paul is yelling like they’re my like mine like the way he yells at that one particular time really feels like a yeah like you would yell about a thing you own and by the end you know the David character does the same thing he he uses them as a device to communicate his perspective and it’s just so sad and terrible because yeah it’s like they’re also just regular people you know being maimed by a robot thanks yeah well and the other thing we
haven’t talked about too is how the one of the things about when you’re in space is like one of the things they train like with astronauts a lot and especially these the crazy missions is it’s mainly a psychological game and I love how even though they have the accessibility to go back to Earth if the Via these replicas you still get that touch and Sensibility of the Mind drifting in the mind losing itself insanity you know yeah well and it almost begs again it begs that question of Hope because on the one hand you’re like
what a beautiful advancement this would be amazing you know if you could just plug back into Earth and yeah like have a direct link to your Humanity but then if anything goes wrong that could be absolutely catastrophic and cause even greater psychological damage than if you were just under the circumstance that you’re up here and you’re isolated and that’s life for the foreseeable future yeah it’s like giving you the access makes it worse when it goes away and even worse when it goes away terribly and so it is like a fascinating question because I think
anybody would be like yeah if we had the capability to do that absolutely but at the same time I don’t know like even though it is maybe one of the more heightened parts of the episode like yeah you’ll have people who are like this is an Abomination and setting it in the 60s I think makes that bit work it’s like if it had been modern day I don’t think as many people would be apt to like you know Manson up and go kill the Abomination robot you know automaton uh but here you know in the
time and place it does seem to make you know it’s it rings truer of a Time less demystified by crazy Tech and you have this one kind of magic element which is the replica and uh it’s yeah that’s the stuff to me that gets kind of at the Twisted core of you know what makes a Black Mirror because you know this is clearly one of the more like lyrical more Moody more again Airy episodes I feel like they’ve done a couple like even though it’s not like tonally similar it kind of reminded me of uh
I feel like San ju pero kind of has a similar quality even that one even though that one’s more like uh less sad but yeah like this this core twistedness that just feels so Bleak and and sad but also like human human despite how you know technological it is I guess dark depths of the human core yeah quite an ethereal experience ladies and gentlemen that was fun yeah it’s fun and all the most messed up it messed me up I’m very much uh I think it’s gonna be the last one we shoot today on my
brains my brain’s not just wife from this I had we shot the first one and then I had to like edit and do the thumb and upload I was like I kind of took the window now and now we should watch this I was like wow my mind’s just messed up well yeah it’s one of those episodes that ends in your life yeah I just kind of want to sit in silence and contemplate I’m like how terrible my soul feels right now the whole time I was like how do I feel right now because I
I don’t know how I film on this weird Vortex of a situation because because there’s so many it’s sewn layered in nuanced with so many vast emotions it’s such a wide array at unlike on every frame of this episode that like oh man my my I I am watching this way at the wrong hour after after a very long day yeah go hop in the Pod and take it out I gotta talk about this this is really hard yeah yeah the hardest time talking about is um but that was that was beautiful yeah that was
great that was that was amazing beautiful it was truly amazing that’s what’s one for the books Unforgettable um all right guys well thanks for being here and we will um soon
