Welcome back everyone to Shoujo, the anime podcast
where I, Sarah, introduce my good friend Joe
here to Shoujo anime. I am the expert, Joe's
the newcomer. And we're covering the best Shoujo
ever currently. So this is as good as gonna get.
It's all downhill from here. But yeah, so we're
talking episodes 37 and 38 of The Rose of Versailles.
But before we jump into that, let's catch up.
What's going on in Jotown? I have been engaging
with a lot of Star Wars stuff. I listened to
the original Timothy's on Thrawn trilogy of books.
So that's Heir to the Empire, Dark Force Rises
and The Last Command. And I just finished that
up, which is like a series of books that were
meant to be like a sequel series of like the
original, you know, four or five, six movies.
And I had a really good time. I like. The characters
in the original Star Wars movies, I think they're
fun. It's fun to hang out with Luke and Lando
and Han and all those guys and Leia. She's a
lightsaber in this one. That's cool. So I listened
to an audiobook and they had like all the Star
Wars sounds and stuff in it because it's an audiobook.
So I have done that and that was a good time.
And because I'm, you know, I did that because
I'm following along with a podcast, kind of like
how our podcast works. You can follow along with
her as a fun side with us. I've also finished
season 3 of Star Wars Rebels, the cartoon show.
Oh, okay. The third season. There's one last
season. And then I've watched all of Rebels.
New? No. No, no. It's very old. Well, it was
a short film. Let's bring it back for a season
three, way after original errors or something.
No, it's... What is it from? It's from... 2014
to 2018. OK. Old as hell. It's pretty good. You
know, I'm liking it pretty well. It's fun. It's
been a while since we talked about it. Yeah,
it's because, you know, I had not been doing
anything with it for a while. I'd set it down
because I was really in Gundam mode, but now
I am coasting on Gundam mode. Even though I'm
enjoying Gundam X, I'm just watching it very
slowly, maybe because I'm also watching like
the podcast I listened to about one is watching
that one and. Ghost in the Shell standalone complex
season two or second gig. And I am not as hot
on second gig. And so I am second gig. That's
the season title. Second gig. Yes. The second
sounding. It's good. Everybody loves when they
have long names. So that's what I've been up
to. Lots of Star Wars. But think about Star Wars
a lot. So if I mentioned Star Wars in this, it's
because I was thinking about it. OK, did you
have a really great send off episode three in
theaters? I think so. For the 20th anniversary.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, no, not for the 20th
anniversary. I thought you meant real life. No,
I first came out in theaters right now. Is it?
I didn't know that. Yeah. Uh huh. Oh, or at least
here here in Texas it is. Here's the thing. Yeah.
The the. 3d animated shows the clone wars and
rebels are kind of an attempt to rehabilitate
the prequel movies Mmm, that makes sense And
I think they mostly succeed at that I am like
way more interested in the prequel stuff having
after like watching these shows That being said,
I don't know if I really want to watch the prequel
movies again. They're not that good Mm -hmm.
I mean, I guess Revenge of the Sith is the best
one. So that's not a bad one to have to see in
theaters. That's out of the three. That would
be the one I'd want to see. Maybe we can cover
that someday as a bonus episode. Just talk about
Star Wars. I feel like I'm just going to fixate
on the like alarming relationship between Leia
and Anakin. Maybe Padme? Yes. Sorry. She's like
old. You said Alea, his daughter. Oh, no. Oopsie.
Yep, I meant Padme. Spoilers for Star Wars episode
three and I guess five. All right. That's a six
thing, isn't it? That's a reveal in six. Anyway,
Star Wars is fun. I'm not worried. All of this
is because like Andor is coming out. So I'm like
trying to finish all of the coverage of Rebels
because they finished it out on the podcast and
what's the detail so they can cover Andor as
it comes out. Andor season two. And I liked Andor
season one, so I want to get to Andor season
two. I got to go in order. I'll check it out.
I feel like I keep hearing good things about
it. It's like a Andor is like a fascinating show
because on one hand, it's just like good prestige
TV. And on the other hand, it's like in the Star
Wars universe as a prequel to Rogue One, which
is a prequel to episode four. So it's also like,
I don't know. Like a complicated setup, but it's
like it's weird because I can't really think
of any other instance where like a long running
franchise has like a prestige thing that it does
that just kind of worked that hadn't really worked
up to this point. And I guess people like the
Mandalorian, but it's nothing like that. You
know what I mean? And I keep trying to think
of like another franchise that's like long. It'd
be like if Jurassic Park just suddenly had like
a prestige TV show, like an HBO show. That'd
be nice somebody can finally do it right since
1993. Maybe yeah It's like they get like a prequel
where it's like Hammond like making those things
and they're having the corporate Espionage is
like a big part of it and like their final their
last -ditch effort is to send the guy off in
one You know what I mean? That's how you would
do it. I feel like Yeah, yeah, so it's just weird
that Star Wars gets this and I'm like that's
weird cuz Star Wars is usually like I think the
cartoons are good and the movies are good except
for the newer ones Actually, all the newer ones
are bad. I mean, I like The Last Jedi, but Jesus
Christ, The Rise of Skywalker is so bad. They're
such a lame name. Oh, I don't know why I'm fixating
so much on names, but it's brutal. It's so bad.
But yeah, so. But they got the little penguin
looking bird things. Yeah, the little guys. The
little freaks. They're fun. Yeah. That's what
I've been doing. It's just all Star Wars. I'm
just like, let's go. Let's get out there. Let's
let's let's like I like snort a bunch of Star
Wars real quick before I go back to Gundam. OK.
Oh, Lord. OK, nice, nice. I take it you haven't
been doing this as well. No, I haven't. Let's
see. What have I been doing? You've been betraying
me. We have a new course. Oh, I. Sorry, no, go
ahead. Tell me like three times It's okay tell
me what your course you don't have to do this
You can be you can be blaze L in our playthrough
people don't even know we're talking about right
now. Okay bothers gate and I I think I mentioned
it a few episodes ago I started to play through
with someone else even though I had started play
through with Joe at one point and we were like
We're totally gonna do it. We even don't care
like half or the end of episode of talking about
our playthrough. Although the same thing happened
where the children got mad at one of my companions.
They didn't... I didn't get thrown in jail this
time, but... Mole and they're trying to rat us
out, like saying we did something to the kids,
but the person I was playing with was able to
talk their way out of it. Wow. Baldur's Gate
3. Sounds like a fun game. I hope to play it
one day. Yeah, we can We could I guess I'll never
know if you get mine whatever I assume you just
die. I don't even think baldergate is in the
game As far as I know it's just a thing people
talk about It's called Raptor Clips Oh, it's
dinosaurs. Oh, and it's cute. So I'm excited
for that. I'm doing trivia on Wednesday. I'm
going to be dressed as Dr. Alan Grant, even though
it's not a Jurassic Park. Of course, it's dinosaurs
and that's what I've got. OK, it'll be fun. And
let's see, I went on a second date. With someone
yesterday. That was good. Yeah, it's been a while
since I've like actually tried to like actually
go out and do something with someone. I've just
been like, oh, I'm active in that regard for
winter. So that makes sense. You don't have to
do things in winter. You get like a pass. That's
the time I can do it, though. I went to I went
to this like, I don't know, like foundation day.
Festival thing for dripping Springs, which is
just like it was so it's like a little tiny almost
like a rodeo where it's all the like Crappy rides
that like you yeah A lot of barbecue leather
purses for sale It was so hot and we're not even
there yet the high was like 87. It's so hot already
I'm not gonna make it Just make all of your activities
like swimming activities or something. You're
like submerged. Well, it makes it even easier
to get sunburned because then the sun reflection
bounces off the water onto your face. Not if
you stay under that water. Just get really into
diving. I have scuba certified. Well, there you
go. Just do that every day. I don't have a buddy
to go with. I can't go alone or I'll die. Hey,
you know, maybe this is your chance. This is
how you can meet the one. The one but I'm not
that I haven't scuba dived in probably five years
and Was perfect. I would be a bad buddy for someone
else. You could show up and be like, oh If only
as a strong hand would show me how to scuba dive.
I haven't done it in five lonely years You reach
around and adjust your goggles really affectionately
or something. I don't know how you make that
sexy, but it's probably possible. Cricut, what
are you doing? Don't chew on that pencil. This
could happen. You can manifest this. I don't
know about that. I've been playing more Stardew.
And yeah. Let's see. I think I might, for real,
like, Joe, I could, I'll just move to Columbus
in September or something. How does that sound?
Yeah, do it. You can show up right when it gets
cold. I think I can. I think I actually can now.
Oh. So maybe I should come back and visit. Yeah,
you should. The cheap places. That you're too
good to live in. Yeah, I live in the most expensive
place you could ever possibly live in. The cheapest,
and you live in the most expensive. All of my
friends constantly tell me this. I want to live
by that cute little book store, but that's like,
quaintest part of town, so I bet that's expensive.
Yeah. Those are like million dollar houses. Bam.
I don't think that's in the budget. There's other
places though. There's plenty of places. That
would be fun, right? That would be fun. Yeah,
no, that'd be good. We could start recording
in person. Yeah. We'll, again. And then we won't,
we won't actually interrupt each other. We would
still record over Discord. I don't know why we're
saying this. I don't, even if we lived in the
same place, we'd probably still do it online.
No, yeah. What if there's like a fancy, I feel
like there should be a company that has like
audio booths that you can just rent out like
you do at - There might be. At like recording
studios. What's that place? Yeah, that sounds
so official though. It probably is. Like the
audio version of WeWork or something, you know,
where you just show up for a few hours and then
you're out there. That might be. I wouldn't be
surprised by that. I mean, you know, we should
probably like make any amount of money to start
doing that would be good. But, you know, it could
be in the cards. That's right. You heard the
man. Yeah. Think technically in our link tree.
There's a I feel like I have a donation set up
somewhere. I don't know Okay, well better visibility
We're just gonna use it to do a bunch of Like
like what is it money laundering? That's we're
gonna use it for increase that listener base,
you know? I don't want to, I don't want to, I
don't want to spoil the analytics, but the Rose
of Versailles is not the most, the most popular
show of all time. Dang. No. We got to make it.
No, this is what it is. We got to dress up super
crazy and then people ask us, what are you? And
then we say, we're the hosts, the shojo at a
convention or something. Oh, see, I feel like.
We gotta, what we gotta do is that we get, we
gotta just cover every other popular thing. No,
no, no. I think we're good. I think we need to
cover every popular thing that has like a fandom
that exists. And then we all point them to this
show and being like, you know, it was so much
better when Joe and Sarah talked about it. When,
when Rosa Versailles did this thing, y 'all should
watch the show from 1979. Yeah. Yeah. Well. We'll
see. Maybe we're having a Shojo Renaissance.
I just saw they announced a sequel series to
a manga that I was collecting probably in like
2007. So Beauty Pop is having a sequel come out.
So maybe we're starting. And I think there's
a new Shojo that I feel like is good that I've
heard something. Anyway, so maybe maybe. This
will be a good second half of the year for Shojo.
Yeah. Well, hey, if there is, that's good, because
that means we got in early enough to be in it,
you know. That's right. We're established. Uh
-huh. We sure have been doing it. We got we got
experience now, you know. Uh -huh. What have
we learned just up to this point? We learned
so we end every episode with what we learned.
We've learned so many things. You just make like
a big montage of everything we've ever learned.
We learn things at the end of every episode lots
about how to like not assassinate people from
San just we learned several things about that
I don't remember what we learned from school.
We learned some stuff from skip beat probably
by some fashion tips don't date don't be romantically
interested in a 16 year old. Yeah, that's true.
Mm -hmm. I Stand by that one. That's a big takeaway.
It's a big thing Well, I guess we could get into
the Rose of Versailles. Get into the show. And
see what we're going to learn from the second
to last episode of our coverage of the show.
That's right. The penultimate episode of coverage,
which is we covered two episodes and you may
be saying, oh, this will probably be a short
podcast episode. I don't know. A lot of things
happen in these two episodes. It's crazy. So
let's get into it. The Rose of Versailles episode
37 is called On the Night of Their Passionate
Vows. That says it all, honestly. You don't even
need to watch the episode. That's the summary.
There's some passionate vows and nothing else
happens at all. Don't worry about it. Oh, goodness.
All right. We open on Andre recapping the events
of last episode in his journal. Things have gotten
bad and it seems like the revolution is here.
Andre rushes to watch the final moments of this
era. He's like I'm gonna watch it with my good
eye I'm definitely gonna make it all the way
to the end He says as the OP plays we return
on Oscar visiting the doctor late at night He
diagnoses her with consumption aka tuberculosis.
Good job, Sarah called it I did, yeah, I did.
Everybody dies of that lung disease, getting
consumed. Oscar is like, how long do I have,
doctor? And the doctor insists that if she takes
it easy, maybe like out in the countryside, don't
you guys own a villa by the sea or something?
You should go there. She could recover. It's
possible, he insists. But Oscar's like, no, if
I'm going to die, I'm going out the way I want
to. And the doctor tells her that she has maybe
three months to live. Oscar goes to leave. Big
news. Yeah. It means we're not going to get she's
not going to live to Marie getting her head cut
off because that's in three years. That's a bummer.
I know. Dang. Well, I guess she'd probably rather
it be that way. But maybe. I mean, she could.
You know, this is just this is just a diagnosis.
Anything could happen. Maybe she goes to the
countryside and just chills. Is that what happens
in this episode? Who knows? I don't think so.
No. Oscar goes to leave, but the doctor asks
her how Andre is. And Oscar's like, Andre, what's
wrong with him? And the doctor's like, oh, this
is a HIPAA violation. If HIPAA was around back
then. Oh, patient information. Yeah, the doctor
tells her that he is going blind. I mean, Andre
is going blind. The doctor's fine. We learned
that in the city, bakers are selling weapons
instead of bread. So that's how it's going in
Paris. Yeah, where'd they get that? People still
need bread. God. Yeah, I don't know. It's more
expensive to acquire weapons than bread. Probably.
Well, you know, who knows? Bread goes bad. You
know, bread is temporary. Weapons are forever,
I guess. If you toast it, then it's like it was
going to be crunchy anyways. That's you know,
that's true. Yeah. Oscar gets ready to go to
work, and Granny reminds her that the painter
is supposed to come by and finish the painting
today. And then she heads out. At the barracks,
the men discuss how Company A was dispatched
and prepped for battle against the rioters. They're
like, dang, I sure hope that doesn't happen to
us. Who knows what we would do in that situation.
Oscar arrives at the barracks, and everything
is quiet. Her Lieutenant Colonel Dogust tells
her that Company A was dispatched. but no fighting
is broken out Oscar asks if he thinks company
B will be dispatched and August says probably
give me one second sorry if my audio was weird
I like closed my doors and that created a weird
echo so if I sounded weird for the last 23 minutes
don't worry about it it's normal for there to
be some kind of we've only been doing this for
a year on brand surely I would I would remember
to open the doors uh let's see Before leaving
it Douglas turns and says hey commander you look
pale and worn out Maybe you should take some
sick leave and Oscar's like no, man. I'm fine
I'm definitely not dying but the lieutenant er,
but the Colonel says that his wife died last
year of consumption So he knows what the symptoms
looks like he's known Oscar's been sick with
this for a while. He could have diagnosed her
He tears up and Oscar thanks him and decides
that she is gonna go home for the day. Why why
not take a break? I thought that was nice. Yeah,
that was a really sweet moment. Yeah, poor guy.
We haven't really seen that guy much, but he
gets two nice moments in this episode. Yeah.
Well, I guess he's the only one who didn't give
her a hard time when she came on board. That's
true. Because I guess he's a fellow noble, so.
He is also a noble, yeah. He's like old. He's
like an old man. He's got a mustache. White hair.
Typical noble. Typical noble. Oscar summons Andre
whose vision is failing rapidly He comes into
her office and gives his report to an empty chair
because he can't see that Oscar isn't there in
the office and instead she's standing in his
blind spot He's seen realizes that he's not or
that she's not there and then leaves and Oscar
is left to mourn for Andre's eyes She's like
he really is going blind. He just talked to this
chair for like a whole minute Yeah, that's embarrassing.
Pretty bad. She meets him outside and apologizes
for not being in her office. She tells him to
accompany her home, and he's like, but aren't
we on standby? But then she takes his hand and
says that she needs an escort and she wants it
to be him. Being direct now. In the streets,
crowds are gathering. The pirate man says, see,
the tri -colored flag, that's the flag of freedom.
And the crowd starts to break into storehouses
and manors all over Paris. He must be, like,
a local celebrity. Someone helps him walk, too.
Yeah. I bet everyone's like, oh, we love Uncle
Pirate. That's true. He's the best. He just pumps
out the tunes, you know? Ha ha, yeah. Back at
the Jarjays, Oscar is getting her painting finished.
The only thing left to paint is her stunning
blue eyes. The painting is finished, and we get
a look at the full thing. It's an enormous painting
of Oscar on a horse dressed as Mars, the god
of war. General Jarjays and Granny look at it,
while Andre, who's unable to see anything at
the moment, waits by the door. That's a good
portrait. It's a big portrait. That thing was
way bigger than I thought it was gonna be. Well...
The bigger the better, I guess. That's true.
You want it to be big. Later, Andre stares at
the painting, trying to make it out, while Oscar
behind him drinks wine. Andre starts describing
what he thinks he sees, but it's all wrong. Oscar
tears up knowing that Andre will never be able
to see the painting as it truly is. But Andre
continues to describe a painting that he sees
in his mind of Oscar in a rose field wearing
a laurel wreath. We get a shot of Andre's imaginary
painting and Oscar says that it's fantastic.
She's like, thank you for imagining this painting.
So embarrassing. This is sweet. You think it's
embarrassing? No. I'm so embarrassed for Andre.
Which painting did you like more? Did you like
Andre's imaginary painting? No. Where, like,
Oscar is not the deliverer of death? I know,
but that one had a much better composition. This
one was just, like, random things hanging out
on a painting together, but not looking an interesting
way. That's true. Yeah, I do like that Andre
imagines Oscar as being gentler than the God
of War. Yeah. Well, I mean, that's the image
Oscar probably wants to be remembered as. Her
legacy. Which one? Is the the God of War one.
Oh, you think so? So it's just kind of like the
whole vibe is what she's been, you know, trying
to put off, give up to people. So maybe I'll
have more to say about that later. Alain and
some men come ride to the Jargeys and tell Oscar
that tomorrow Company B is ordered to be dispatched
to Paris. Oscar's like, oh, they finally done
it, I guess, and Alain says, yup, they sure have.
Oscar says she'll return to the barracks in a
little while, so don't wait up, and they leave.
In the stables, André prepares his horse, or
both of their horses, and then he sees someone's
behind him, but can't make out who it is. At
first, he thinks it's Oscar, but then it's revealed
that it's actually General Jargeys. The general
tells André, that it seems like some battle will
break out soon and it might be the last time
they ever see each other. Because listen, man,
you're blind and you're definitely going to die
in this battle. I have no faith that you're going
to live through this, Andre, I'm sorry. The general
says, yeah, but then the general says that if
Andre had been a noble, he would have given his
wholehearted blessing to marry Oscar. Oscar walks
up and sees the general tell Andre to come back
safe. So that's sweet. Closure. Yeah, who's gonna
take care of your horses if he's gone? It's true.
Yeah Toast too Nobody's making it out of this
That's you know good good bet Oscar and Andre
right out on the road They run into some riders
who see them in turn to attack them Oscar and
Andre escape by riding their horses across a
nearby river The writers throw things at them
as they wait across and Andre is struck in the
head knocking him out Oscar pulls them all to
the other side and they get away We cut to writers
in the forest declaring that they've had it.
Even if it means death, they're gonna take the
city Oscar sees this and decides that they're
gonna go a different way into Paris. We're not
gonna go this way They ride off through the woods
and Oscar scolds Andre for not telling her about
his eye She says that he'll have to go back to
the manor, he can't go into battle in his condition.
So please do this Andre, I can't let anything
happen to you, she says. But Andre says no, he
wants to be by her side, now and forever. Oscar
lowers her eyes and says, but Andre... I knew
how you felt about me, but I fell in love with
first in any way. How could you really love me
after that? And Andre says that he loves everything
about her. Oscar says she loves him, too. And
Andre says he's known that since the beginning.
And then the two of them kiss. And she says,
like, I don't know. Like, I've loved you since
before I was born or something. He's like, I
know that. Like, this is weird. OK, but. It's
crazy. Stop going down here. Among the Fireflies,
the two of them make love, thus becoming husband
and wife. I don't think that is how it works
legally, but. Oh, yeah, I'm sorry. They have
to ask the king for permission for nobles to
get married. They should get on that. That's
not going to stop them. Later that night. Yeah
later that night general charges looks at the
portrait of Oscar He comments that he didn't
get a chance to say bye to her after she left
But like whatever like she's not gonna die in
combat the way Andre is it'll be fine Granny
shows up with a letter from Oscar He tells her
to read it to him and she's shocked by the contents
only a single sentence saying quote Thank you
for all the love and devotion you have bestowed
on a daughter like me unquote the general is
like What is she saying? This sounds like a goodbye.
No, I won't allow it. I won't. And then we cut
away. So I guess that's the end of that. They've
eloped just like they said they would. Daughter,
an afterthought. Oh, yeah. Maybe I should say
bye to her, too. It's like, oh, I forgot to say
bye to Oscar. I mean, like, she's not going to
die. She's the god of war. So it's fine. We see
Oscar and Andre riding off to the barracks as
we cut to credits. Bow chicka wow wow this is
pretty normal episode all happened in one episode
We got it yay, we weren't sure if we were gonna
get closure or Addressment relationship, and
we did yay Yeah, how do we how do we feel about
it? I hate that they're now calling I hate that
she's now referring to herself as his wife. I
don't have more to say. That's fun. No, it's
not. That's not who she is. Well, she doesn't
like an extremely goofy way next episode and
everyone's like, listen, you don't need to keep
doing this. We will talk about it. Very funny.
Like, duh. Whatever. At least they both got to
get it on before it's all done. Yeah. Uh, so
I guess like jumping back to the beginning, uh,
we're confirming that she's gonna die, basically,
right? And that Andre is gonna go blind, and
he's going into battle, so he's probably also
gonna die. Yeah. So, like, just, neither one
will have to live without the other. Yeah, so
we know that they're both gonna die here. Um,
which, like, is interesting. Because they're
fictional. Why? Bummer ass end to show? Yeah,
well... Guess I'll have a little bit more to
say I can have like an overall thing to say at
the end there But it's interesting that they
like kind of tell us this right It's not like
there's no real question if Oscar's gonna make
it out I mean, I guess she still technically
could but they wouldn't do this if she would
right? Yeah, I don't think so. So it's interesting
that they sign post that so early on in this
episode Then we have we're gonna get dispatched
the August is like in Sad. That Oscar's gonna
die. Let's see. The painting, I like Andre's
version better. I think Andre understands Oscar
better. I feel like Oscar being the God of War
is how everybody wanted to see her and not necessarily
how she wanted everybody to see her. You know
what I mean? Yeah. People project on Oscar a
lot. Yeah, that's true. Well, she didn't allow
people to really know anything else, so they
can't but help. Like, you know, envision that
as her. Also, her reaction was kind of muted.
Really? What? To her, the painting she got? Yeah.
Well, don't you think she just got the painting,
which she had been refusing up to this point?
Because she knows she's going to die. That's
true. No, I like I like the painters better.
Yeah, I do like. He's like, if you don't want
it, I'll take it home. Yeah, that's pretty funny.
The painting. Yeah. I do like how in Andre's
imaginary painting, the horse is still there,
but Oscar just isn't riding it. It's like Oscar
in the background is the horse and then there's
a bunch of roses. It's very funny. Yeah, no,
I just think because I took art history, but
I'm like, no, it doesn't work. That doesn't follow
the golden ratio at all. I can't draw that little
little curl on that thing. Yeah, yeah. And then
they get together. Yeah, I mean, we get like.
Oscar's hair conveniently gets extra long so
it can hide her butt when they're showing them
embracing. That's right. Nude. It's important
sense of shit. And then and then the like fancy
our heads are just, you know, in the ether next
to each other with their long eyelashes closed.
And yeah, similar to how we got with Ferguson
and Marie previously. Oh, that's true. Well,
I don't think we got as clear of a like, oh,
they definitely went for it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But not definitely go for it all the way. Yeah.
Oh, it's that time. Well, they're both like almost
40, I guess. Yeah, they're like late 30s. Mm
hmm. Yeah. How do we feel about the well, the
part? OK, so I really like the scene where the
general like gives Andre his blessing kind of
in a way or like, yeah, it's like basically saying
he would have. Because that is the most like,
oh, like if we didn't have this social structure,
y 'all could have just gotten together whenever.
But because we live in a world with nobles and
commoners, we just had to pretend like none of
this was happening for forever. And that's that's
interesting. And then and then like when they
do the confession thing on her, Oscar is all
like, I don't know, ashamed, embarrassed that
she was in love with Furson, even though she
knew that Andre liked her. Yeah, well cuz now
it's like she's changed her mind. Yeah Maybe
or she doesn't think he'd believe her maybe But
I mean we only found out like a couple episodes
ago, so She's probably still processing it you
think she was gonna put the moose on him no matter
what or it was just because I Think she's dying
Well, yes, I think it's cuz they're like I think
they're both the end is near for both of them
in terms of they're both dying and also the end
is near in terms of like tomorrow Yeah, they're
gonna have bad days ahead even if they weren't
dying, you know what I mean? It's like they this
is the I mean Or they will die from combat. So
yeah. Yeah, so I Let's do it. Yeah We'll have
a whole thing at the end of this. Episode 38
of The Rose of Versailles is called At Fate's
Door. We open on a recap of the last episode
where Oscar and Andre got together and now they're
riding off to the barracks. The narrator tells
us that this is the morning of July 13th, 1789,
and it will be Andre's final day. Oh, he's dying.
Once again, just telling you what's going to
happen. Yeah. Good stuff. I love it when shows
do this. Yeah Oscar and Andre show up at the
barracks. She tells the men that their orders
are to deploy which is awkward because like,
you know We're gonna be fighting the crowd and
you guys probably have family and friends in
the crowd So obviously I'm not gonna like order
you to shoot them Uh, because if I did, you probably
wouldn't anyway. Anyway, here's what I'm going
to do. I'm going to resign my command and follow
my husband's lead. Oh, right. I'm married to
Andre now. I guess this is big news. Whatever.
Anyway, Andre, my husband, what do you want to
do? And Alon is like, Alon just laughs and is
like, all right, Oscar, you don't need to quit.
Uh, listen, we, the guys have been talking. We
decided to defect immediately. So if shooting
breaks out, we're going to like join the side
of the people. And like we all want you in charge
if that happens. So like if you're on board,
that's great. You could just be our commander
still. And Andre is like, that's great. We should
do that. And Oscar retakes command. And everybody
does like a Captain My Captain bit and Alon congratulates
them on their marriage. Oh, this is why I hate
that. I'm going to take my I'm going to follow
my husband's lead. Let me now just immediately
take on a like subservient role. The gender essentialism
is here. I mean, the thing I do like is that
this is something that Oscar feels like she needs
to do, but then everybody's like, no, you don't
need to do that. None of us think that's a good
idea, including Audrey, who thinks it's a bad
idea. Oh, God, I just hate. Oh, we're husband
and wife? Well, let me live. No, like I don't
like it Oscar for as rebellious Oscar is she
does always kind of give deference to like higher
Structural orders and things like that until
somebody like gives her permission not to you
know what I mean? Like she is not the person
who's going to break etiquette Unless there's
a reason and then she will like accept the punishment
for it You know what I mean, and that that feels
like what's happening here. It's like well She
can't just be the wife and decide to do something
She has to get, like, permission, even though
everybody's like, that's stupid. You don't need
to do that. None of us like it when you do that.
Yeah. Ugh. Ah, continue. We then all turn our
attention to General Douglas, who's just watching
this from the doorway. He's a noble and isn't
going to defect like the rest of them. And Oscar's
like, so what are you going to do? And Douglas
says that, well, I guess he technically is going
to have to report this mutiny to command. But,
you know, I was planning on taking the rest of
the day off, so I guess I'll just have to report
the mutiny tomorrow. And then he leaves and Alanna's
like, thanks, Doggist, you're a real, you're
a real homie. And he leaves. So that's cute.
I like, I like Doggist. He's not selling his
friends out, not joining them, but not selling
them out. I wonder if he has kids. I don't know.
I mean, he's like, alone, right? I was going
to say if he has kids. then I guess it makes
sense that he has to stand his ground and protect
the legacy for their future if things don't go
the Rebels' way. But if it's just him solo and
his wife is toast, then I would have just gone
for it, but I guess... Maybe. Maybe he should
just, like, get out of town. Maybe he should
go to Oscar's villa by the sea. He's like, Hey,
you got the key? I'll just go take care of it
for you. The men are in themselves and mount
up and they all ride into the city. In Paris,
the military and civilians are at a standoff
in Tilleries Square. Both sides are pointing
guns at each other. The military commander is
like, where the hell did all these guys get guns
from? They didn't have these guns yesterday.
What happened? A civilian steps forward to mock
the military but his wife and child come and
pull him back. But then a soldier accidentally
fires and hits the kid in the back and everybody
including the soldier looks on horrified. It's
very much giving when that kid got shot by the
jerk she dueled. Yeah, that was very intentional.
This seems like a back, you know, when you have
hundreds of people pointing guns at each other,
one of them will screw up at some point. Yes.
Yep. Oopsie. Oops. I shot a child in the back.
The crowd surrounds the dying child and the civilians
decide to rush the soldiers. The soldiers open
fire on the people killing a lot of them. The
two lines clash into each other and the narrator
tells us that this is the start of the French
Revolution, even though this is kind of like
a day earlier than most people regard that, but
you know, here we are. Oscar gets word of the
skirmish in the square and they rush to help.
Back at the square, the narrator tells us that
despite their numbers, The people had no formal
training and were essentially mowed down because
they were not getting into military formation.
We see Bernard and Rosalie lead people away from
the square into the side streets to retreat.
Company B meets the retreating people in the
streets and tells them that they're on their
side. The crowd is skeptical, but lets them pass
through. Oscar makes it to the square and the
military officer in charge introduces himself
as L 'Ambesque, commander of the German cavalry
regiment. So these guys are not French. Oscar
introduces - Okay. But the French. OK. Oh, never
mind. Hold on. There's like an insane number
of factions of the French armed forces there.
It's like so many different uniform colors and.
Yeah, so it's very confusing. Yeah, this is why
I was saying like pulling your pulling your military.
It gets messy, especially if none of these guys
you really know what their loyalties are. I mean,
these guys are like. Probably mercenaries. I
don't know. A fancy name. Fancy name. Oscar introduces
herself as Oscar Francois. Francois. Francois.
Francois. That's like her middle name. Is that
her middle name? I don't know, because like this
is not her last name and it's not Andre's last
name. No, no, no. Well, maybe this is her last
name, but Chargé's is the title of the family.
Oh. Okay, cuz I couldn't tell what name this
was, cuz I'm like, did she take Andrei's name,
but Andrei's last name isn't this? No, we've
seen it before. It's like Grandeur or something.
We've seen this name before. Yep. But then she
says she has no title and no rank, and Lambesque
is like, excuse me, but Oskar raises her hand
and her men point guns at the German cavalry.
She tells Lambesque to pull back or be shot,
and Lambesque is like, oh shit, you guys are
defecting, and then he pulls all his men back.
Yep. Oskar takes her military insignia and throws
it on the ground. The people come back to the
square and ask Oscar if she's on their side.
She says yes, but they still don't trust them.
Oscar disarms and dismounts and walks into the
crowd. She said that she used to be a noble,
but her men are all commoners. They have convinced
her to fight for the third estate. You may not
trust her, but you can trust them. Bernard pushes
through the crowd to Oscar and declares that
he will trust Oscar and Company B. The crowd
recognizes Bernard and they're like, oh shit,
it's that one guy. And they all decide to trust
them too. Everybody shakes hands and has a good
time Bernard tells Andre that he knew this day
would come and they shake hands, too Meanwhile
Rosalie goes and hugs Oscar cuz she's here too.
Whoo -hoo reunion She doesn't have a sword. Why
I don't know Rosalie is not armed. She should
be she has the most training disappointing It's
bad they taught her how to shoot. Yeah To have
her moment. She does. Next two episodes. My God.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, she definitely does. We
need to we need to get a scene of Rosalie shooting
a guy. Or it was all for nothing. Yes, for real.
Elsewhere, another military company is on their
way to retake the square. Oscar and her men order.
No, Oscar orders her men to mount up and cut
them off. She tells Bernard to build a barricade
in the streets while they all stall them. And
Bernard's like a barricade. And Oscar's like,
yeah, just like pile a bunch of shit up. You
know, it's the French Revolution, dude. We're
making a barricade. Company B rides off. I guess
you just had to think that people just didn't
have the resources to know these things. We just
know them because we learned about them in, like,
history or video games and stuff, but, like,
I guess it's just not a concept. That's true.
You know, people with a very determined role
without any, like, room for exploration. Like,
because it seems obvious, but, you know. Yeah.
At some point, it wasn't obvious. You know, I
think in real life probably what happened was
all of the retired soldiers are like you got
to build a barricade Like you got to just stack
a bunch of shit up Anyway Oscar sees the military
company And they charge into their rear. I guess
I should note that company B is entirely mounted
It's about 50 mounted soldiers and the guys are
charging into are all on foot The company is
caught off guard, and Company B is able to charge
them. During the fight, Andre's eye loses sight,
and he is narrowly saved by Elan. He almost dies
right here. After a few chaotic moments, Oscar
orders a withdrawal, and her men write off. Hit
him and run off. However, word has gotten round
of Company B's defection and another cavalry
guard is waiting to ambush them. The narrator
tells us that by 3 p .m., multiple clashes between
the military and armed civilians have broken
out all over Paris, creating chaos. Remember
that thing I said about 10 riots instead of one?
Here you go, baby. Yeah, a company B turns a
corner and rides directly into the ambush Oscar
turns the company around but they suffer heavy
losses on the retreat They run into another ambush
line and Oscar realizes that they've been hemmed
in Loseray tries to do a last stand charge, but
is shot down. So rip to him Company be retrieved.
Yeah, he tried his freckles are so cute Company
be retreats into the sewers. We learned that
about half of their 50 -man company has been
wiped out Oscar tells them that their only hope
is to regroup with Bernard at the square They'll
have to fight their way through to get there
though because they're behind enemy lines We're
doing like classic classic war movie stuff here
Oscar and her company emerged from the sewers
and are surprised by a guard stationed at the
entrance The guard exchanges fire with Oscar,
but she's able to shoot him down However, we
see at the bullet that the guard fired has hit
Andre in the chest a couple people behind her
and he falls while calling out to Oscar Oscar
rushes to him as we cut to credits Well, there
it is. Final day. Andre's final day. It's going
to kill off. Yeah. 50 is such a small group of
people to begin with, and now they're just 25.
Yeah. I mean, for a company like they're all
horse, like they're all mounted. Well, they're
just for more mostly patrolling the city. So
I guess in that regards, it makes sense. But
like deploying them doesn't seem too effective
on their own if it was in a situation like this.
Yeah, the news travels freaking fast and the
world has no telephones or anything. I mean,
it was a whole day, right? Like they got there
in the morning and it looked like this happened
in the evening. So like, you know, they had several
hours to relay. Yeah, that's true. Orders around.
But yeah, chaos broke out. Oscar defects and
is immediately like, let's just kill all these
guys. Let's just let's just shoot our own guys
in the army. Like fucking let's go. Trigger shy
up to this point, but no more. Gloves off. Let's
go. We're going for it. Yeah. Let's just shoot
the cavalry though. That first cavalry group
that shot all those people. Yeah. Some go. I
guess that would have been disgraceful to just
hit them. That's true. Oh, well, yeah, I guess.
Well, no, because then they like kind of ambush.
I don't know. That's true. Anyway, what do you
think about this episode? The war episode. War
time, baby. We only had two episodes after this.
I know. This is this whole show is just leading
up to it more than anything else. But everything
is happening all at once. I didn't think it'd
go this way. I. You what? I didn't think they'd
get wiped out before. Well, the thing that happens
next. I mean, if you think about it, like until
Oscar and. Throughout Oscar's time there they
like were just there to collect a check like
I don't think they're necessarily fully invested
in training and stuff at the time so Or this
is their first real skirmish. Oh, I think they
did like they were effective, right? Because
they didn't know they have no like Intel so they
can't know if they're about to turn a corner
into a whole line of guns I think they're like
effective i'm just saying i didn't think this
is how the show would go i didn't think oscar
would just like immediately be like to be in
it oh yeah right at the jump i mean the revolution
has started i guess uh well we have no time she's
going out day one yeah andre's dying and we have
two more episodes after this she's got to get
into it it's true yeah uh God, do you have any
bigger thoughts? Um, I don't I just this is just
very like you gotta take it as it is There's
not much room for interpretation at this point
Uh, I mean I can say why hope comes next but
what what is there to hope that comes next? What
is there? I don't know Rosalie gets to shoot
somebody do we think that's my only hope that's
good Do you think oscar's gonna go like sicko
mode like punish oscar? I should be like taking
dudes out Cause Andre is dying. She's gonna go
like rage mode. She can go beast mode. I don't
know. Cause that's the one option. I don't know
what the other option. I guess that is the option.
That would be so out of character. Because she's
dying anyways and he dies. So there's no point
in even trying to live longer unless it's really
like, I got to do this for the people. Then she
like, you know, does what she can until it's
resolved. And then, I don't know, wastes away
or something. Yeah. Yeah. This is not gonna be
a happy ending. The only good thing is gonna
be that we get to see the end of... Oh my God,
Queen Marie Antoinette. Oh, Marie Antoinette.
You think they're, yeah. You think the lassie
is who are getting her head cut off? You think
they're gonna show? I don't know if they're gonna
show it to us. Almost certainly. They gotta.
I feel like if any show is gonna... They're like,
she'll be there. And then we pan off screen and
then we see the birds fly from the sounds of
the, you know, guillotine and the narrator talks.
Do you think we get to find out who the narrator
is? Like the identity or that's just... Oh, I
don't think so. I think it's just like a device.
Yeah. I bet it'll be guillotine comes down and
we get like a match cut to somebody like pruning
a rose or something and it like falls and...
Oh, that's a good. That's a good. Yeah. We love
our roses. Over. She's got to die. We got to
see the execution. There's no way we don't get
that. Who? Who are we like ending the series
on is like giving us a parting from the show.
I mean, it has to be left. It has to be Marie,
right? Like she's probably thinking of Oscar.
Huh? Oh, I bet she thinks of Oscar at the end
and then she gets her head cut off. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. That's a good ending. That's that's
mine. That's my cold shot there. I like What?
Duke early on doesn't matter doesn't fucking
matter. Oh my god the party a Couple episodes
ago where they like they're like, oh Robespierre
Duke early on is going to the palace to petition
to become the new king Rose here's just like
well, that's stupid It isn't gonna work who cares
and that's the last we've ever hear of him Uh,
maybe he died. Maybe. Oh, it's so funny. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, once we have the ending,
we can like think on the show as a whole, it's
been really good. Although there are like certain
things where it's like, oh, it feels like we
like built this thing up and then anticlimactic
or like it wasn't seen through to the end. I
mean, in particular, I think of Rosalie with
her whole thing with her mom and. Yeah, I mean.
I don't think that was anti -climax, though.
Well, we didn't get to see. Basically, it goes
through Mom and then somehow. Yeah. I mean, that
feels like a plot device to get her away from
Oscar. You know what I mean? Like that just seems
like we got to separate everybody. It would have
been nice to see that, though. I wish we got
more time with Rosalie. Yeah. I mean, because
it's. How many arcs have we had in this? Oh,
my God. Like, there's the beginning. You know,
there's the Madame. We have Madame Dewberry,
like we get like. So it's initially Duke early
on doing that stuff, trying to disrupt the wedding.
Yeah, it's Dewberry. And then we get Shane. Yeah,
we get John and Rosalie kind of happening at
the same time. And then we get what's your face?
Charlotte's mom. Pontiac Pontiac. Yeah, we get
her. That kind of all happens at the same time.
And then first and shows up like a billion times
throughout this. Yeah. Lots of time. All of those
four things kind of happen all at the same time.
And they call it intersected. Like, that's probably
like the most fun part of the show. Yeah. Yep.
And then it's just been leaving. Charlotte dies.
Pontiac gets kind of written off. She kind of
fades first and. shows back up and that causes
drama. And then it's Robespierre and Bernard
and the Black Knight. And now we're here. Yeah.
So it's a lot of different things have happened.
I mean, it's a lifetime basically that we're
seeing. So I guess that makes sense. Yeah. Which
is just a very different setup than most animes
I've seen. Or it's like we're on a journey for
a specific thing and maybe like that thing becomes
more complicated, but still based off that thing.
And this is just so many things. Yeah. I like
how it's turned out, though, because I mean,
I feel like the main through line and I guess
I'll probably we'll see how it ends. But I feel
like right now the main thing for me is like
we get the we get the story from like essentially
three different class perspectives. Right. Or
it's like we get Oscar, who's like a noble, who's
kind of like in between. The royal family and
the commoners she's like a very privileged position
But also has like different things she has to
do You know when she realizes that things are
going bad her dad tells her to ignore it and
just follow orders or whatever, right? We also
get Maria's perspective obviously is the Queen
of France She's like on top of everything right
like doesn't really answer to anybody except
for the king, but she kind of manipulates him
So she's kind of top dog And we see Rosalie,
who's like a commoner who like goes through it
the most. Most of her life is out of her hands.
Various things happen. She's able to like do
kind of some stuff in terms of like getting revenge
or not getting revenge, getting help from people,
all that other stuff. So we kind of see how the
system in place, right? Like the nobility system,
the title system, the ASEAN regime, all that
stuff is like exists and it makes all three of
them just miserable. Right. Like the fact that
Marie has to be married to King Louis and can't
marry Furson and just like go off somewhere and
just like like her best life would be marrying
Furson and just like fucking off somewhere. Right.
And then none of this would have happened. You
know. Yeah. And like Oscar clearly like in this
episode, it is so like, oh, if Andre wasn't wasn't
a commoner, like if Andre was a noble, you probably
would have just married him early on. And like
all of these problems would have been avoided.
Like, you wouldn't have to deal with the first
thing. You know, there would be like... Well,
she also probably wouldn't get involved in the
whole revolution thing, though, because Andrei
is kind of her little insight into that. Right.
But it's like, if there wasn't the Atheon Regime,
like, if there wasn't this regime, you wouldn't
even need a revolution. The revolution is about
getting rid of this thing that just makes it
like this system that exists to elevate people
in power. But the people in power aren't really
even benefiting from it. Like, they're all miserable,
too. You know what I mean? Like Rosalie has a
terrible time because she just like can't like
her mother dies. She like has to scrap. And she
kind of gets lucky by like hooking up with the
right people at the right time. But like, you
know, could have easily ended up like how it
did for Jean, which is like the same thing. Like,
you know, they're both kind of in this same sinking
ship and they have to do something. So like the
whole the cohesion of the show being about like
leading to the revolution, I think, like really
fits together in terms of like, yeah, it's the
society that you live in that is suffocating
you. Like, the structures that require of you,
the things that are, like, the conveniences,
the culture around it, the, I mean, like, the
literal law of, like, oh, nobles can only get
married to each other because the king lets them,
is, like, the suffocating thing that is destroying
everybody. And, like, it has to lead to a new
era. And it's, um, it's both a bummer that, like,
Oscar and Andre are not going to live to see
that era. But it is heartening to be like, they're
gonna use their last time on Earth to fight for
it, right? A future for someone else so they
don't have to deal with those things. And like,
you know. Yeah. Joe, you just came up with all
that off the top of the dome. No, I thought about
this earlier. I was thinking about this all today.
This is all you. Okay, but like, you're making
it... I feel bad. You feel bad? Like, you bring
such class to this podcast. Oh no, I mean...
So sophisticated and... Well, partly I'm thinking
about this because it's like, you know, this
stuff happens. We live in a world now where there
isn't class structure and like all of the people
in power right now, I guess to date this podcast,
all want to restore that. They all want to make
these like... conservative structure hierarchies
again that everybody hated and rebelled from
the first time. And, like, it also makes them
miserable. They all, like, I don't know. It seems
like all of them hate their lives, too. I'm just
like, what is this for? It's like this system
exists, but who is it benefiting and why does
it exist? Like, everybody becomes beholden to
the thing that, like, guides their life and they
all, like, hate. Spite. The world is fueled by
spite. Yeah. People who don't like... Don't want
you to do that. So you do it. It doesn't have
to be that way. I mean, I think the nice thing
about like the French Revolution in the show
and, you know, getting up to the point that like
we get to in the show. And I think it makes sense
that it ends here because like, you know, in
real life, the revolution starts getting pretty
about something else pretty quick is like there's
opportunity for a different way to live. You
know what I mean? Like you are not hemmed in
by whatever social system that exists. Those
things are. you know, constructed, which means
they can be deconstructed and turned into something
else. It's like a nice, we'll see how it ends.
I think despite the fact that it's like a tragedy
on the face of it, I think it'll end much more
optimistic than you might expect based on what
happens like on the screen, if that makes sense.
Like, I think the feeling will be optimistic
about it. Yes. Yeah, I think so. Yeah. Excited
to see how it all ends. It's all... happening
now, it's... This is the longest series we've
done all at once. Well, that's not true. We did
this so much faster than we did Kimi ni Tadoke.
Uh, yes, we were in that one for a while. That's
because, I feel like that was just because, like,
season three had, like, hour -long episodes,
so each one episode was, like, one episode of
the show. Or maybe the show just felt more compelling,
so it didn't feel like it dragged on. There's
so much stuff happens on this show. This show
is like at a, we were talking about how many
different arcs happen. It's like breakneck speed
all the time. Like we covered two episodes today
and it's like, there's just so much shit to talk
about. Like I think doing three was the good
enough pace because there was like enough stuff
to get through. Like there were enough arcs that
were like three, like in threes that it worked
out. But yeah, this was a... It's going to be
really hard to compare this show to the other
ones just because it's so different, like genre
-wise. Maybe we need to start making buckets
with Shoujo of like... Who can win in a fight?
...so we only compare this against... Which main
character is going to win in a fight? Yeah. Uh...
I think it's Oscar. Who's going to have the best
outfit to prom? Unless it's... Karda. And then
it's Chihayab. Um, the best outfit to prom. I
feel like... It would be, uh, Kyoko. She'd be
all dolled up for, like, a celebrity. We need
to... Oh, yeah. Yeah, she could get the real
treatment. Yeah. We need to do... You know how,
like, um, in Wreck -It Ralph 2, there's that
scene... I haven't seen Wreck -It Ralph 2, but
I know there's that scene where, like, all the
Disney princesses are together, like, hanging
out in, like, a dorm. Imagine that for all the
protagonist of the shows that we've seen so far.
That'd be funny. Like, do we think they would
get along? Yeah. Oh, we should just start doing
this, like, make our own little, like, what's
everybody doing in this world? Shoujo. Yeah,
the Shoujo realm. Uh, yeah, I think... God. Misaki
does not fit in with the... She's such a nothing
person. Oh, dude, Misaki would have so much fun
showing, like, Oscar or Andre, the, like, the
little battle dolls, and they're like, oh, that's
cute. That's true. That's really fun. Yeah, I
think they would have fun with that. Uh -huh.
That would be so good. Yeah. We need another...
We'll get... We'll eventually get to something
where like there's a protagonist that does action
like Oscar. You think like Chizu and Oscar would
like do like tussle a little bit, you know? We
like to get little fights. I feel like Ayane,
maybe Ayane and Oscar could like... Get together.
I think so. You don't think I on it would hang
out with Marie. So glamorous. Oh, God. No, because
Marie and now a freaking what's her face? Um,
um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um,
um, um, um, um, um, um, um, You know, they'd
play cards together. They'd all sit at the card.
Mokko would only do it because she would be using
Marie for her own benefit. Oh, yeah. Of course.
For sure. She's too ambitious for friendship.
Oh, do you think Kyoko would get along with Marie
because they're both, like, spiteful? I don't.
She'd be like, oh, my ex sucks. And Marie would
be like, hell yeah, your ex sucks. No. Let me
tell you about my husband who just makes lox
all day. That idiot. Well, there is the like
the little the the Everyone has a chest and their
heart stick. Oh my gosh. With all the locks.
Maria's like, dude, one time my husband made
me one of these. It was terrible. It was enormous
and heavy. I'm like, why would I want this? Why
would you ever think I, the Queen of France,
want this big ass hard shaped lock? Oh my God.
We're giving. This needs to happen. They need
to do this. You know, they need to just, like,
make a, like, shoujo verse. Everything's coming
together. They all hang out in the little, like,
the little lobby or whatever. Yeah, that's, like,
how, like, Toonami and stuff. I feel like they'd
have little shorts there if they hang that together.
Remember that? We need, like, that. It was Cartoon
Network that had, like, the little city or whatever,
and they would be like, oh, Johnny Bravo's here,
and the Powerpuff Girls are here, and all of
it. They had those, like, promos. Oh, yeah. Yeah,
it's like what if what if Sam or maybe for like
here's what's on now and here's what's coming
up. Yeah. Yeah, we need to make that for like
all the shows that we watched. We should for
sure. And I'll do that for a second year. We're
not. God, that sounds like work, but maybe we
just dedicate an episode to a bonus episode or
something. Yeah, like we just like map it out.
Oh, that would be so good, dude. They should
let us remake stuff. They should let us put us
to church. We make a D &D campaign based off
the show, Joe. Oh, like a tabletop RPG, and it's
like you get to play all these different guys.
Oh, that'd be so funny. Like a one -shot. I don't
know how to do that, but if I did, I would do
that. Somebody learn. Oh, my God. That's so funny.
Yeah. OK. So yes. Obviously, we're having fun
and we will continue to have fun with what we're
doing here on Show Joe. Next episode, Oscar dies,
probably, and also Maria, I guess. And Andre.
Everything's dropping. So. What's what I guess
what lessons do we learn in this episode? The
lesson that we learned is that you should rate
us five stars on your podcast platform of choice
do it right now I know you haven't done it. I
know you've been thinking about it and you're
like, oh, I'll remember to do it You should do
it now. You should put it in there also rate
other podcasts You know, I mean if you like pot
like just it's easy thing to forget today. No,
it's nice It's nice to give people ratings. It's
nice to to spread awareness, to boost them algorithm
points. And that's what we need. We need to appeal
to the bots. The bots are taking over and we
need some favor from them. And only you can provide
it, dear listener. So please do that and leave
comments. And also you can email us at shojopod
at gmail .com if you have things to say to us,
like what you think everybody in town would be
doing in shojo verse town, in shojotown. Yeah.
I can't think of a better pun than that. I think
Shojoverse is a other podcast, so we can't use
that. Oh, is that a podcast? I'm pretty sure
Shojoverse is a podcast, yeah. Sho... Jo... Jojo.
Village. There's gotta be some pun we can do
off of this. If you can think of a pun, email
us at shojopod .gmail .com. Yeah. Anyway. OK.
Yeah. Or if you want to illustrate our little
world. What have we learned? What have we learned?
What did we learn here? I don't know. This is
your segment. You really run away with it. Really?
Let's hear it. Yeah. Probably something about
tactics. Probably something about like maybe
plan your route. Oscar should have planned the
route. Maybe she did, though. This is the thing.
I don't know, because I'd be like, oh, Oscar,
why didn't you plan your route? But maybe they
just got cut off. You know what I'm saying? I
know. I was a little disappointed in Oscar. Like,
come on, girl. Yeah. You know everything. They
should have just started. They should have just.
Well, what? It's hard for me to be critical.
They should have gotten off the horses and be
an espionage. Those horses are, you know, you
can't hide that. Yeah, they should have done
the hit and run on that first company and then
they should have gone back to the square. The
problem is that they stayed off, right? They
got they got caught out, you know, as they say.
Don't get caught out. This is what we learned.
Don't get caught out of position. Always stay
in position. Always stay near your barricades.
You know, you got to send the cavalry out, but
then you got to have a secure route back. You
know, don't let yourself get too far behind enemy
lines. Classic cavalry mistake. Don't do it.
Yep. What Joe said. Anything better than that?
Don't. Oh, God. If you're pretending you're not
blind. If you're. Yeah, if you're if you're blind.
Just don't say anything. Just wait to hear if
someone says anything. Don't just talk. Because
what if someone is listening? Oh man, always
check your blind spot. Yeah. Oh man. They never
show us what's under - why can't you have a cool
scar eye? Why they gotta hide that from us? Listen,
Lazare, your last stand charge sounds cool on
paper, but it's not gonna get the work done you
think it's gonna get done. You should just stay
with the group. It was just a waste. Yep. You
know, it's a cool scene. Sorry, my guy. But you
know. Oh, no. Oh, Alon's gonna die. No! Alon
has to make it. Oh, no. I need Alon to kill a
guy with his, like, one sword in hand and sheath
in other hand, because that rules. That's the
coolest thing that happens in this show. Uh -huh.
Yeah. Yeah, I hope. Well, because his sister
and mom are gone, so, like, let's see. He's so
cool. Yeah. Well. He'll be up there in the character
rankings when we get this done. Maybe he gets
away with Bernard and Rosalie, you know? It could
happen. Nah, he can't third wheel it. Damn, too
bad Rosalie doesn't have like a sister or something,
you know? Oh, dang. If only. Nine and more. Yeah.
She had two, now she has none. Freaking brutal.
All right, all right, folks. Well, yeah. See
you next week for the finale finale. Yep. Yeah,
as we watch episodes 39 and 40 and it all goes
down happening in a blaze of glory. And we'll
catch you guys then. Be on the lookout below
for our Jurassic Park The Lost World bonus episode.
I got to edit it, but then it'll be out as soon
as I edit it. Yep. Yep. No rush, but. But if
it's not out by the finale. You don't have to
make it until it comes out after Wednesday. Nope,
you're good. I can't fire you. I have a good
name. Where am I going to fire another Joe? It's
a pretty rare name. Alright, okay. Nope. Okay,
everyone. Bye. Bye. Thank you.
