Video summary

The video begins with enthusiastic reviews of the film *Weapons*, which the host describes as a highly underrated gem that exceeded expectations despite some negative feedback regarding its ending from other viewers. The reviewer praises the strong storytelling, effective jump scares, and solid performances across the cast, specifically highlighting Thanos's production role and the overall quality of the acting. This positive reception extends to discussions about other films seen during the year, with *The Fable*, *Anemone*, and *Smashing Machine* also receiving mentions as underappreciated masterpieces. The conversation then shifts to predictions for best actor, noting widespread admiration for Shalom in his role within a ping pong movie, while acknowledging that Academy members have already seen enough of the film to recognize its merit without it being forgotten by voters. The discussion transitions into a detailed reaction to Episode 5 of *Panchayat*, which is celebrated as returning to the show's core identity after feeling like previous episodes had drifted off course or leaned too heavily on political themes. The host expresses immense satisfaction with how this episode felt authentic, reminiscent of Season One, and highlights the exceptional writing that brings out flaws in public servants while maintaining their humanity. A significant portion of the review focuses on the chemistry between Carrie Russell and Rufus Sewell in *The Diplomat*, praising them as flawless actors whose dynamic makes every scene they share a must-watch event for fans. The host notes that even minor supporting characters are written with such depth that there are no weak spots in the ensemble, creating a uniformly spectacular viewing experience that rivals top-tier television dramas. Throughout the episode review, specific scenes involving emotional moments and political tensions are analyzed, particularly focusing on how the show balances personal relationships with broader societal issues like corruption and term limits. The host appreciates the realistic portrayal of politicians who make mistakes and justify their decisions rather than presenting flawless heroes, a trait that resonates deeply given current real-world discussions about age limits in politics and government shutdowns affecting public servants' paychecks. There is also lighthearted commentary on pressure cookers used for cooking rice in India versus air fryers gaining popularity elsewhere, adding cultural context to the dialogue. Ultimately, the episode concludes with high praise for its ability to tackle big governmental problems through intimate character stories, leaving viewers eager for the remaining episodes before wrapping up with a call to action for audience feedback and upcoming content like *Family Man*.

But I went into it cautiously optimistic. I'd only heard good things about it. I had heard some people didn't like the ending, so I was waiting to see what that was all about. >> Mhm. >> Loved it. >> Really good. Don't know why anybody has a problem with the ending. I think the story is very well put together. Casting, man. All of the acting was really great, especially Thanos, um, who produced it. And I thought all the performances from everybody were were solid. It has some good jump scares. Would watch it again. Highly recommend Weapons. >> We know your favorite film of the year, obviously. >> Most underrated film of the year, though. The most underrated film of the year. Well, the most underappreciated, the two most underappreciated films of the years of the year are The Fable and Anemone. Um, I think the most underrated still of the films I've seen this year is Smashing Machine. >> Let's also give a prediction for best actor. >> Like the winner? >> No, like >> Oh, the Noms. He wasn't in it. >> No, I'm hearing I'm hearing everybody is loving Shalom. >> Oh, yeah. I hear that a lot, too. >> In uh >> Yeah, >> the ping pong movie. >> Yeah. >> Um looking forward to it. >> Another $100 coming my way. >> No, I don't think I don't think he's going to be forgotten. >> I do. >> I do not think he's going to be forgotten.

Which for those of you who've been tracking, episode three, I felt like the show was going off the rails. >> Mhm. >> And then four, >> I didn't >> felt like it had it had leaned and then it came back back on over. >> Mhm. Yep. >> For me. So, I'm very happy about that. >> This episode and we got three more. >> Yep. And we're all >> out. And then we're all done. By the way, speaking of TV series, and I'm going to talk about this on other videos because I want people to watch it. Watch it. Watch it. Watch it. Watch it. Watch it. Watch it. Watch it. >> The Diplomat. >> Have you seen that new show by The Breaking Bad people? >> We're That's next. >> I hear it. >> We're jumping in. We just finished season 3 of The Diplomat. Morning Show has completely lost us. Morning Show went from its first couple seasons being rock and roll SAG nominated worthy stuff. this season completely lost. It's like it had a had a whole new writing team. We've we've lost interest in the morning show midway through the season. Uh Diplomat just doesn't stop. The writing, the writing, the writing and the acting are as good as it gets. I I will go back and watch seasons one, two, and three again just to watch the acting, especially watching Carrie and Rufus. Carrie who? >> Rufus has the best English accent. English American accent. Carrie Russell. Uh, Rufus Suall has the best American accent. You can't do it any better than he does for a Brit. He's He's flaw He's flawless. >> You're talking about American Raffle Bus. >> You consider Rufus Su to be the American Ruffle B? >> That's what I'm thinking of. >> Oh, >> they're very similar. Rufus Su is one of the most underappreciated actors on the planet. Rufus should be up there with >> Yeah. >> all of the best of the best. >> He I >> doesn't look like a little bit >> Hollywood. I've called Rahul that Indian uh Rufus. >> The acting is so good in the diplomat and the writing is so good in the diplomat that that I many times and thankfully my wife loves this. So she does she likes that I do this. I will stop and go, can we just got to go back and like this happened last night. There's a moment where Carrie says something and the other actor she's working with says something and just the way she responds to it and I just had to go back. There's so many silent moments. There's so many great the writing is so good. Everybody in the cast is uniformally spectacular. But the price of admission is Carrie and Rufus. And whenever they're on screen together, I just if there is no show on television I want to be in more than the diplomat to work with them and I'd be a little bit gobsmacked to be on set with Rufus. It would be a little bit I'd have to force myself to focus and not be I'd have to tell him privately and say, "You need to know how much of a I think you're >> You know why that is? >> Cuz Rick can see himself playing most of Rufus' parts." >> No. No. No. No. But I'm saying you relate to that guy a lot because you guys would place very similar roles. >> We would. But I just he's he is you'll always be to me. >> Roffus is exemplary. It doesn't get any better than the acting that Rufus does in in >> Oh, the Diplomat. >> I love Rufus. >> I've never Yeah. And I've never seen him do bad work. >> You know, he's always It will always be Oric. I mean, um, um, Count Adam from the Nights Tale. >> Oh, you know who he is? First time I really got introduced to Rufus and realized who the hell is this guy? And he had already been working for a long time was in uh, The Illusionist. >> Oh. Oh. Anyway, >> he's such a great episode. You going to make him talk cowardly. A sweet looking man. >> Oh man. >> Is that her dad? >> Oh, it is. Why doesn't he live with them? term limit motorcycle name. He's going to matchmake. >> Yep. >> Him and Rinky. >> Yep. >> Say I like this guy. I'd love to know if the actor is like this or if he added that affectation for the character. >> The show's been very consistent in it supporting people coming in just knocking it out of the park. >> Exceptional casting. You can't ride a bike, bro. >> This place almost resembles old um motorcycle. >> Yeah, a little bit older in his life. Can't sit on a motorcycle. He can't sit on a bike. Seriously, >> what do you think? Are they going to have a wipeout? >> Yes. [laughter] Do these villages often have like 100% voter >> because they do these little >> It wouldn't surprise me. >> That's like what two 300 people or something? >> Yeah, cuz isn't the national average like 80% for Indian? Yeah. [music] 28 not wrong. Let him elect him. He's about the right age. [laughter] be a little young to be US president. Come on now. And look who's behind him. Abashek. Mhm. He sees you like a grandson. That's a good thing. >> That's the most bold he's been. Excuse [laughter] me. Slappy's going to hit her. >> Yeah. us. [gasps] When they go low, quite badly. He was >> I'm surprised Prolad kept his cool like if [music] it was a man he would I I thought he might say to her husband, "Hey, you guys better get out of here." All I know is people come door to door asking me to vote for them and they're bringing me a gourd. I'm voting for him. >> Don't do that, man. It's ridiculous. >> Yeah, don't do that. >> Yeah, that's just giving in to the haters. He's always been so lovely and anytime he needs to be emotional, >> he's a great actor. Oh, wonderful actor. Shante thunderstep thunder. It's not going to work. His analogy is going to fail. >> The gourd's going to break it. It's going to blow up in his face. >> Called [screaming] it. Mhm. He's going to find some way to blame Brahanji. You're right. Yep. >> I think he's going to say that's why he came by to watch it that they set it up. Is this a drink? >> Yeah, the buddies hang out. >> That was the high text of in the group chat. >> Hey, grandpa's there >> because agree. I was going to say speak wisdom, grandpa. Opposition. The opposition. Huh? [laughter] Huh? >> [laughter] >> bearded. [laughter] >> Why didn't you offer it already? >> Great episode. >> Great episode indeed. Um >> [clears throat] >> felt very old school the episodes too. >> Yeah. >> Um in terms of I want to end on a happy note but it had a punch >> that one scene. I don't know if they were real tears or if they obviously synthetic or what whatever. Um not synthetic but whatever the drops they give you the teard drops um on actors which is very common. >> No even actors that can cry all the time. If you're on your 15th take >> Yeah. >> you need give me the tears man. I'm dry. >> Yeah. You got to you still got to >> All that matters is it's believable. like you said whether it was cuz we can't tell whatever it was. I believed him. >> Also, you can't just put it on and be like, "Oh, I believe he's crying." >> No, >> not at all. >> It still takes acting. Uh like I know like non-acctors think like >> crying is the ultimate form of acting. >> Not. >> It's not. But obviously it's >> it's not not important. >> No. What's what? Just make us believe you. >> Yeah. That's why wiping away tears that don't exist is the worst in indicative form of acting. >> But uh that that scene between them two uh when he was walking away and and and he was sitting was uh fantastic by both >> both of them >> did a fantastic job. >> Yeah. And the as always the support you mentioned it the supporting cast. >> Yeah. >> Everybody's always great. >> It's obviously I'm sure obviously credit to >> the actor but also the writing that they give these supporting characters. >> Absolutely. write off characters >> and whatever the casting director brings to the director just great casting. >> Everybody who's had small roles has been wonderful, believable. There's been no weak spots. >> Um but and then it ended on them together and we had a little we like little bold rinky moment there. >> Yeah, we that was the most bold. >> They both acknowledged they're like >> we we kind of like each other don't there's a thing here. I mean, we're not doing anything about it, but like we kind of like each other a little bit, don't we? >> Well, and at the beginning of the episode, that's why he didn't reply to his buddy who said, "Why are you still hanging out there? You could bail. You don't need to be there for the You don't You're just the secretary. You don't need to be there for the elections." >> Yeah. >> And he didn't say it, but we all know why he's still there. >> Oh, 100%. >> He's there for Rinky and he's there because he actually he cares about this family. And again, we've said it before, that's the heart of the show when they the guys get together and have their drinks and talk. That's just it all comes back to that group of guys having their conversations after the events of the day. >> Is that him? >> Uh the dad maybe >> Ram Gopal >> that looks like him, right? >> Looks like it could be. Yeah, >> we saw him in Jolly LB. >> Naji, that would be him. Yeah, that's Grandpa. >> Oh, he's in fire. We haven't seen that that series yet. We need to We really need to get to that. >> Jolly LLB, too. >> Uh yeah, he was in Jolly LB2. I think he was the dad. >> I bet he has a lot of credit. probably seen him before. Yeah, I'm sure we've probably seen him before. >> Was he the one that was disappointed in a >> See, take that's No, it's not the It's a movie. That's actually That's the John uh >> Yeah, John Abraham. >> The John Abraham film. We saw the trailer, too. >> Guilty whistleblowers. The Verdict.

What was first in that one? I don't remember. Is it all four? Fire, earth, water, air. >> No, there's only three films. One is John Abraham. I think it's water. One is uh I think uh Amir Khan, I think that's >> I do think you're right, by the way. I think they're gonna turn it and say there's a reason the secretary came walking by at that moment. He knew what was gonna happen and he wanted to make sure it happened. I bet they blame him for the >> Yeah, that's what it felt. >> Pressure cooker. >> That's what it felt like. I mean, they're not opposed to lying those people. >> Good job as well. I believed he got hurt by the pressure cooker 100%. >> You guys should get a um what are they called in Insta Pots? They're pressure cookers, but they can cook it in minutes. >> Oh, really? Yeah. >> And it it doesn't lose quality. >> Wow. >> My wife has had one for years. Wow. >> They are literally like you can cook rice in minutes. >> Wow. That's cool. >> It's it's it's quite insane the technology they have now. Um [snorts] because it goes up to like some it can it can tell you what pressure it wants to go at to cook it. >> I don't know how it works honestly. But and I know India uses pressure cookers all the time. >> All the time. Constantly. I think that's one of their main forms of cooking is >> cooking the rice in the pressure cookers. Yeah. >> Nowadays, people really love air fryers here. >> Yeah, that's a big deal. >> Yeah, we don't have one yet. >> I've never used one. >> My wife wants one, but >> they're Yeah, they're very very popular. >> Um, another great episode. Yeah, it felt It felt very season one. Very >> It very It felt like it was 100% in its old DNA and roots and >> Yeah. >> Yeah. That might be my favorite episode of the season so far. >> Season one was really good. I know. Definitely didn't like episode two. >> Yeah, the toilet episode was the fly episode for me. That was kind of the pointless episode. We can skip that. This season's definitely a lot more about the politics of it. And and Grandpa seemed to really have a I don't know what the word would be, but a you're a politician, but you're not you're not fixing these things. Like, why aren't you >> He's the He came in as the voice of reason. Yeah. >> Why aren't you cleaning these gutters? Why do you have these luxuries of a bird right door? Which I actually love about the series. It's like not that our main characters are flawless. >> Correct. >> They fall into like they make mistakes, >> the corruption uh sometimes the >> and justify their decision. Yeah. >> Uh when like you know, you're a public servant. You Why are you >> Well, even Abashek cuz when he first came in, he was that proverbial outsider looking in who who recognized some things. And even for him, he realized, "Oh, wow. We don't see the forest for the trees. I'm I'm in the system and I needed someone to from the outside to look in and point out, you know, you you guys really aren't >> leading. You're not serving. >> Mhm. >> You you've fallen prey to the games of politics rather than be a public servant. >> Yeah. >> Term limits, baby. Unfortunately, we don't have them here. Well, >> not for Congress. [laughter] >> Yeah. Um but I it's something to be said about fresh blood is always healthy and needed for a healthy democracy and progress >> and progress and because they have not you hope they can maintain it but when young people come in they are yet to be tainted by big money. >> Yeah. And um and there's a lot of uh issues here with American politics. I'm not going to get into that right now. Um >> but term limits is one. Uh money is obviously another. But that's kind of consistent throughout the world really. >> Yeah, it is everywhere. And and the idea of, you know, it it's supposed to be it's called public service. It's why here, for example, one of the many many problems I have, and I know you feel the same way, is when you have a government shutdown, the first people who should lose their paychecks are Congress. >> Yeah. >> That's who should start losing their paychecks first. They shouldn't be able to go on vacation and still be getting paid and have their health insurance when >> I forget what >> everybody else who's in the public service department working for the government not getting paid. Oh, and then you have people demanding they show up for work. >> Y I um I forget which administration was in. It was a while ago. A long time ago. um >> like first Bush maybe >> maybe even before I I forget but um because it used to be Congress didn't get paid and then Congress passed a law to say that they get paid >> just like they passed their own raises. >> I'm like what the what it was probably under Reagan because that's when Citizen United came about and it's one of the worst things to ever happen to American politics ever. Um, but I don't I don't know specifically, but that's it's just an awful thing that happens. On top of the fact that there's old people that cling on to power uh on every side. Uh like if we have an age limit, like you have to be this old to run. You should have age limits. Like once you hit this age, you also cannot run anymore. You're done. Sorry. [laughter] You not saying you have to die, but you can't be making decisions >> for society. It's very very rare you get somebody who would be you don't get Bernie Sanders very often. >> No. No. Unfortunately. And I'm sure he wishes that he didn't have to be there. >> Yeah. Unfortunately, he does. [laughter] >> He He more than I think anybody would be like, "Yeah, let's pass term limits. Let's pass." He would 100% be like, "If you give me these, I will quit now." >> Yeah. >> But unfortunately, we are where we are. That's not what this is about. >> No. what the show is and that's what I was reminded of, you know, cuz I love the rinky story. Um, I love the personal all the personal stuff is super super important and I think it's essential >> to the show, >> but the show is punched. >> The primary point of this is the what we've talked about is yeah, the little show about big things and how it shows you in microcosm the problems that you extrapolate out into any size government. All governmental structures, no matter how big or how small, face the same human problems. >> Yeah. >> Um, great. >> Yeah. Love that. Love that episode. >> Let us know. Um, >> what do we have? Two left. >> Three. >> Three left. Okay. Great. We'll be caught up just in time. Just in time for Family Man. >> Yes. Let us know what you thought about the episode uh and uh what your thoughts on art and anything else we need to know down below. >> [music]
