THIS SHOW IS ALREADY INCREDIBLE!! | Band of Brothers 1x1 “Currahee” Reaction | First Time Watching

Today's video is quite simple. We're watching Band of Brothers for the first time. We've been watching so many good shows on this channel, and I needed something that was really going to bring that energy, something that was going to be phenomenal, to be honest, cuz I don't like watching bad shows on this channel. So many people said Bandit Brothers is the show that you're looking for. U baby, they've been requesting this show since we started YouTube, >> right? >> This came out in 19 or 2001, was it? Was it 2001? And it was created by Tom Hanks. So, um I know this is a war show. I'm assuming this is going to cover World War II, maybe the Vietnam War, something like that. But, um, if I had to guess, I would probably say World War II because Tom Hanks was in Saving Private Ryan, which was a phenomenal, >> honestly, one of the best movies you'll ever see in your life. We also reacted to that if you guys are interested in that. If for some reason you haven't seen it. Um, >> but yeah, man, I'm really excited to watch this show. This is a 10-p part series, guys. So, we're going to watch each episode individually. We normally watch two, but um, it's so short. I don't want to just have five little watches with it. I want to save each episode. And um we do have a Patreon if you guys want to see the full uncut reaction over there. www.com/ patreon/tovers or something like that. It'll pull you up. Um hype the video, like the video. Let us know in the comments if there's anything we missed. Guys, I've went through several phases in my life where I was like a big World War II buff. Um I don't know much about the Vietnam War, so I'm really hoping this is the World War II so I can like [music] share some of that knowledge, I suppose, or at least not be lost. And um I don't know as much as your dad and your granddad probably, but [laughter] I know more than your nephew. I'll put it that way. All right, let's go. >> We were in a store and a guy in that store told us to put our uniforms on. What the hell are you talking about? He says, "The USA is in a war with Japan. >> Who would like to volunteer for the Air Force? Who would like to volunteer for Navy or whatever?" And then uh they said, "Who would like to volunteer for the airborne?" So he says, "What the hell is the airborne?" You know, you got all your army equipment, you jump out of airplanes, b uh to fight the enemy. They said, "Go to hell." But you get paid $50 a month more. So that mean bucks. [music] >> Yeah. That was a different time, man. Service. That was real service. >> So this is documentary style cuz those are obviously the real people, right? >> Right. Yeah. Yeah, just like on Saving Private Ryan. This is going to be about the paratroopers, [music] man. Let's go. [music] >> My grandfather was one. [music] >> He served in Vietnam, right? >> Mhm. >> I never got to meet him. He died before I got to meet him. [music] >> Honestly, a beautiful opening. >> Yeah. So different [music] in Steven Spielberg. That felt haunting. [music] Hotter England. >> I know. I felt like you had to say it like that. >> Guys, if you see me writing stuff down, I'm taking notes. >> Name of the bottle. the police. IT'S TOO LATE. HE'S IN COMPANY. SUIT UP. GATHER UP AROUND ME. MOVE IT UP. COME ON, GENTLEMEN. LET'S GO. THE CHANNEL Coast is socked in with rain and fog. High winds on the drop zone. No jump tonight. The evasion has been postponed. We're on a 24-hour standown, [ __ ] >> Wow. I don't know, man. >> This is quite a surprise >> cuz they're so nervous. You know, it's so >> I can't see how you people can pass up $8,000 for the call. >> No one could even focus on that movie. >> Yeah, it seemed like people were handling it different for sure. That one guy was completely checked out. >> Mhm. >> I think it's clearing up. Think it's clearing up? >> Nope. I [music] think it's clearing up. How are your men? >> They'll be fine. 5:00 in New York, 4:00 in Chicago. Happy hour, huh? Yeah, happy [music] hour. A couple of drinks, maybe an early dinner before the theater. >> A that guy was like Richard Nixon to me. A young Richard >> civilized place for civilized men. >> Should have been born earlier, Nicks. What? Give up all this. >> Nicks. >> Maybe because he looks like him. Just kidding. This is before his time. >> Maybe that's his nickname. [laughter] >> That was before his time, obviously. >> Future Future Nixon. >> We'll go to Chicago. I'll take you there. Yeah, we'll see. Actually, I was from there. >> Oh, all hand him. 112 days of that son of a [ __ ] And here we are. >> It's a lot of days. [music] >> 2 years earlier. Camp Takoa, Georgia. [music] Hey, that's where we're from. Well, not Takoa, but close. >> You people are at the position of attention. >> Ross from Friends. >> Private Pante, have you been blousing your trousers over your boots like a paratrooper? >> No, sir. That explain the creases at the bottom. >> No excuse, sir. >> Volunteering for the parachute infantry is one thing, Pante, but you've got a long way to prove that you belong here. >> Rude. >> Ain't no on the details. >> Name? >> Malary. Donald G. >> Malarkey. Malarkey. Slaying for [ __ ] isn't it? >> Yes, sir. >> Rust on the butt plate. Hinge spring private [ __ ] Revoked. >> Oh, everyone. >> He's handing out L's to everybody, ain't he? >> Rusty bayonet. Leave God. You want to kill Germans? >> Yes, sir. >> Not with this. I wouldn't take this rusty piece of [ __ ] to war and I will not take you to war in your condition. Every man in the company who had a weekend pass has lost it. >> Hey, there's a lot of faces I recognize in this. >> Yeah, I swear I just seen Abraham, but I could be tripping. >> Let's move, move, move. >> Private White, why are you not in your PT gear? >> Uhoh. I asked you a question, Private. Hey, while you're running, don't worry. We'll take your days to the movies for you. Yeah, good. They need a female company, too. >> Yeah, they seem like they need some discipline, huh? That's the vibe I'm getting. >> WHAT COMPANY IS THIS? >> WHAT DO WE DO? >> THAT IS ABRAHAM. >> HELP THAT MAN. DO NOT HELP THAT MAN. STOP. >> OH, >> YOU GOT 13 MINUTES TO GET TO THE TOP OF THIS MOUNTAIN. IF YOU WANT TO SERVE IN THE PARATROOPERS, I SILVER. >> That does not look fun. Just saying. >> That kid said that in the end of it, that hi ho silver away. And I just didn't really get it. But I guess that was a thing back then. [laughter] >> Maybe that means [music] when you're taking off. Yeah, maybe so >> instead of blastoff. >> Come on, you can make it UP HERE. COME ON. COME ON UP. COME ON OUT. LET'S GO. COME ON, GARY. CHRIST, come on. Put you down there. Come on. Never thought I'd see the [music] day. Private win. We are coming on 23 minutes. That may be good enough for the rest of the 506, but that IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR EASY COMPANY. >> That's crazy. They call it easy company. >> Yeah, we can do this. COME ON. I'MMA say something. Uhoh. Keep your mouth shut. What is it? Mission is fake. Sir. Mr. Granny. Sir, we got nine companies, sir. We do. >> How come we're the only company marching every Friday night, 12 miles, full packing, a pitch dark? >> Oh, no. >> Easy company. Canteen out and open. On my command, they will pour the contents onto the ground. Pour them. Maybe he hates y'all. I'm just kidding. >> WHO IS THIS? CHRISTENSEN. WHY is there no water in your canteen? You drank from your canteen, didn't you? Private Christensen, you have disobeyed a direct order. You will fill your canteen and repeat all 12 miles of the march immediately. >> Damn. >> What in the name of God are you doing with my company? You're late and you allow troopers to disobey direct orders. This is not Fox Company. This This is easy company. And under my command, this will be the first and finest company in this regiment. I want the names of six men, their infractions, and your disciplinary recommendations on my desk by 0130. >> I had a headmaster just like him in prep school. I know the type. Michelangelo is a genius. Forgan's a genius. You know, a man in this company who wouldn't double turn curry. He with a full pack just to piss in that guy's morning coffee. >> Let's go. Let's go. >> GO. >> Stand in THE DOOR. >> COME BACK. YOU JUST BROKE BOTH YOUR LEGS, Private Gordon. Are you trying to get yourself killed? >> No, sir. Stand in the door. >> That'd be so damn scary to parachute across enemy lines and have to run through the countryside. >> I know. >> Good lord. >> You'd have to be super good at landing to be precise. >> Mhm. >> Cuz you could get sucked somewhere bad >> like in a tree. That's the worst. When you land in a tree, then you have to cut yourself loose and you break your damn legs on the way down. Why are you here, Private Gordon? >> I want to be in the airborne, sir. >> I don't believe you. Why are you here, Private Gordon? >> I want to be in the airborne, sir. >> You have 50 minutes [music] to the top and back, and I will be watching you. What are you waiting for? [music] This guy's out for blood. I feel like we're going to eventually learn to love him, though. You know what I mean? >> Do you think he's going to be a hero? >> I don't know. So either that or everyone's going to turn against them. I guess those are really [music] the only two options, but >> easy company has the [music] finest performance record in the entire second battalion. >> I like that. >> I believe every bit of that is thanks to you. Congratulations, Captain. >> Thank you, sir. >> Didn't that Lieutenant Winters lead an easy company in PT? >> Yes, sir. >> He's a damn good man. I was planning on giving him a set of these today. Why don't you do it? You'd be proud to get them from you. >> He doesn't want to give them to him. >> Pornography contraband. >> Not the Titter magazine. [laughter] >> Nonregulation clothing. Contraband. >> The magazine was called Titters and [ __ ] >> Had 200 prophylactic kits in his foot locker. How in the name of God was he going to have the strength to fight the war? How is it private private tipper has spare time for so much correspondence? Captain personal letters to be considered contraband. >> These men aren't paratroopers yet, Lieutenant. They have no personal property. >> What is this? Anybody? Uh, it's a can of peaches, sir. >> Lieutenant Davidson thinks this is a can of peaches. That is incorrect. Lieutenant, your weekend pass is cancelled. This is United States Army property [laughter] which was taken without authorization from my mess facility. >> Oh, >> and I will not tolerate thievery in my unit. Whose foot locker is this? >> Private parks. Sir, get rid of him. All weekend passes are cancelled. Officers included. >> Oh, >> carry on. >> When he's supposed to be given an award. >> Well, the officers got to be more strict, man. They're turning their eye to all this. Colonel Sink has seemed fit to promote you. As first lieutenant, you'll serve as my executive officer. Congratulations. >> Thank you, sir. And as a test of your organizational skills and command potential, I am designating you mess officer for 14 days. Port to the mess kitchen at 0515 hours. Company breakfast to be served at 0600. >> Yes, sir. Right. [snorts] There's rain forecast tomorrow. So, the company will have a light afternoon of lecture and classroom instruction. I think a a special meal before their afternoon off would be a welcome change of pace. Would you agree? >> Yes, sir. I like spaghetti. >> Okay, let's go. We earned a little bit of carbs, so we can go run 12 miles. That's okay. [laughter] >> These guys are packing it away. >> They said, "Mommy, [laughter] GET OUT. ARE CANCELLED. EASY COMPANY IS RUNNING UP CURRY. >> OH, he did that just to mess with them. He wanted to swing their spirits. >> 3 miles down. >> You make him want to throw up. >> Hell yeah. This movie or [clears throat] this show is crazy. >> THERE'S AN AMBULANCE WAITING FOR YOU AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL. It can ALL BE OVER RIGHT NOW. NO MORE PAIN. NO MORE COURAGE. NO MORE CAPTAINEL. HEY, I like that they started singing. >> But is he proud or is he annoyed? >> This will be the first of five exits from a C47 AIRCRAFT SCHEDULED FOR TODAY. >> SUCCESSFUL completion of your fifth and final jump will be certified Army paratroopers. >> That's scary. You have to time it right. >> Yeah. >> I guarantee you're going to go. >> JUMPING FROM 1,000 FT. AGL in sticks of 12 jumpers per aircraft. All you have to do is remember what you were taught and I guarantee you gravity will take care of the rest. >> You could even fly into each other. >> Hell yeah. Look at Sale. He looks a little nervous, don't you? >> I know. >> I mean, I don't blame him, but you're in charge. >> Hey, gentlemen, rest assured. Any refusals in the aircraft or at the door and I guarantee you you will be out of the airborne. Okay, okay. Okay. >> How many times do you think they're going to practice >> before they go to war? >> Mhm. >> Oh man, I literally have no idea. Let me know, guys. How many times do you do one of these jumps before you're ready to go? >> 4,000 5,000,000,000 8,000 >> WHAT? [laughter] I just think if you had any class or style like me, someone might mistaken you for somebody. >> You mean like your [ __ ] sergeant? >> I'm just kidding. [laughter] >> Congratulations, Martin. >> Purple toy. There will be no leaning in my company. Are those dusty jump wings? How do you expect to slay the Huns with dust on your jump wings? >> H. Just give me a drink. How can I >> That was a so bad impression. >> Hey 3 miles up your nose down. >> Well, that ease paratroopers. Good evening, EASY COMPANY. >> NOW, parachute infantry is a brand new concept in American military history. If I got the 506 is going to forge that brand new concept into victory. >> Yes, sir. >> I want you to know that I'm damn proud of each and every one of you. Now, you deserve this party. Thank you, Sergeant Grant. So, I want you to have fun and remember our motto. KAH. Oh yeah, >> there chairs in that thing. >> Isn't Kurhe the mountain? >> Yeah. [clears throat] >> At Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That they have to run up and down. >> A mall. >> Daddy. F. >> We're in the wrong position. We're in the wrong position. >> We're taxable position. Rambbush, sir. >> Can I deploy your troops? >> SECOND ZOOM. MOVE OUT. TACTICAL COLUMN.

Second battalion 506. >> Leave three wounded men on the ground and report. >> Good thing it was just like a practice. >> Uh, what are you going to do? Nothing. Just keep training the men. Am I interrupting? >> No. Lieutenant Lewis Nixon. Lieutenant Harry Wells. Just in from the 82nd. Congratulations on the promotion. >> Oh, thanks. You want to call it that? You learn him pretty quickly. Uh, no flaws, no vices, no sense of humor. >> Just like your chums of a battalion staff. I'm hearing a lot of rumblings. So, just talking about that. >> So, he gets a little jumpy in the field. >> Mhm. He gets jumpy and then you get killed. >> That's nice. >> Yeah. Uh, listen, if we discuss it, I think it should just be amongst ourselves. >> Absolutely. [snorts] >> Second platoon ready. >> Ready, sir. >> Then get them in formation. We're moving out. Yes, sir. >> That's not a good feeling if you don't trust them. >> YEAH. >> But maybe all this uh brutal training is really going to pay off though. That's what I'm saying. Maybe they'll respect him. >> You got to admit he's got no chance. Either the crowd still get him or one of us. >> Who sold? He screwed up one maneuver. >> Well, you know, I'm always fumbling with grenades. Easy if one went off by accident. You know, >> that's crazy. Now they must have put him in charge for a reason. >> Yeah, cuz the army wouldn't make a mistake, right, Jeff? >> Doubting. >> Hey, this is a mutiny. >> Going my way wherever the train takes me. What do you suppose that might be? I haven't got a clue. Yeah, come on. Take a guess. Atlantic, Pacific, Atlantic. I'm not the intelligence officer. As such, I of course know, but uh told you I'd have to kill you. So tell me. New York City, troop ship, England. We're invading Europe, my friend. fortress. You wrote one. >> Since when do I drink? If I thought you'd drink it, I wouldn't offer it to you. >> Nice. >> No one wants to drink out of someone else's flask. >> Oh, I have every confidence in my scing abilities.

One last look at Lady Liberty. >> Throwing punches. >> When they're talking [ __ ] about you that bad, I don't think there's a coming back from that >> attack. YOU WANT TO KILL HIM. >> HARRY RIGHT LEFT FRONT. COVER. >> OKAY. Yesterday we talked about magnetic declination and the left add right subtract rule. Today we're going to put it into practice. >> There are two basic types of fighting positions. The first is the prepared position. The advantages of a prepared position are that it gives you cover and concealment. Commence fire. We'll then maneuver right in through these trees at the same time. Our second platoon in this particular case moves over here. He's then going to close with and kill or capture that German. >> Well, [laughter] that was a good shot. >> So's late. >> How is he late? How How are you late if you're soble? >> Why is there a fence here? There should be no fence here. >> Tipper, give me the map. >> Oh, he's in the wrong spot. Pani law, get the men. Get them back. Take cover behind those trees. >> All right, you heard the sir. >> Move out. >> There should be no fence here. >> Um, we we could go over it, sir. >> Really? That's not the point.

CAPTAIN, >> WHO SAID THAT? WHO BROKE SILENCE? >> I think it's Major Horton, sir. >> Major Horton? What is he? Did he join us? >> I think maybe he's moving between a platoon. WHAT IS THE GODAMN HOLD OF MR. SOBER? [laughter] >> A FENCE, SIR. UM, A BARBED WIRE FENCE. >> OH, THAT DOG JUST AIN'T GOING TO HUNT. NOW, YOU CUT THAT FENCE AND GET THIS GODDAMN PLATOON ON THE MOVE. >> YES, SIR. >> They just tricked him up like that. >> I'd have walked over there. >> We have to move, >> sir. Without Captain Solder and first platoon. It's a T intersection. We improvise. Double envelopment. Lay down a base of fire to cut the road in all directions. Hook right with first squad. I'll tell Garner to move left with second. I'll be right up the middle with third. Go. >> Subway ain't going to like that. >> Just a lad on a bike ride. You never believe I was this. Oh, >> you think he just stumbled out the pub? He's like, >> "No, no. You've done it now, Yanks. You've captured me.

Yes, he did. >> Major Horton is on leave in London. >> Oh, that guy was good at impersonation. >> For impressions. >> Dang, I'm starting to feel bad for Soel. Am I supposed to? >> He's a stiffler on details, but he's sort of slacking right now, right? >> His own details. >> Yeah. in the middle of their basketball game. >> Lieutenant Winters, >> Captain Sles's compliment, sir. >> Lieutenant, not for crying out loud. I misspelled court marshal. >> No, sir. I do not understand. I followed your orders to the minute. >> I changed the time to 09:45. Punishment for your offenses will be denial of a 48 hour pass for 60 days. Stand before me at detention. >> That's not fair. >> Or you may initiate a letter of appeal and request a trial by court marshal. You spend your weekends on the base anyway, Dick. Be a man. Take the punishment. >> Yeah, for you. >> I borrow your pen, sir. >> My endorsement, sir. I request trial by court marshal. M >> cuz he didn't do anything wrong. >> Yeah, he's sick of you. >> We lost winners to battalion mess. You [ __ ] mate. No, Stra did it while they try to figure out the procedures for his court. Well, Nixon better find a loophole to get him out. >> And if you don't, Wy scramles eggs while the rest of us make the big jump with soil. >> Not me. So, we're going through with this, right? >> Got to do something. >> All right. >> Well, let us in on the plan. >> We'd all better be clear of the consequences. >> I don't care about the consequences, John. We could be lined up against a wall and shot. >> That's >> I'm ready to face that. >> That is risky. >> And every one of us would better be, too. >> They'd rather get shot than jump with soil. That's insane. >> I will not follow that man into combat. >> Me neither. >> Let's do it. >> I hereby no longer wish to serve as a non-commissioned officer in easy company. >> All right, boys. Good luck. They basically want to start like a soldiers union. >> I know. They're [laughter] like petitioning in a way. >> They ought to have you all shot. >> This [clears throat] is nothing less than an act of mutiny while we prepare for the goddamn invasion of Europe. Sergeant Harris. >> Sir, >> turn in your stripes. Collect your gear. You are hereby transferred out of my regiment. >> Sir, >> get out. Sergeant Ranny. >> Sir, you consider yourself lucky I'm only busting you to private. All of you NCOs have disgraced the 101st Airborne. You can consider yourself lucky that we are on the eve of the largest action in the history of warfare, which leaves me no choice but to spare your lives. Now get out of my office and get out of my sight. >> They tried. [snorts] >> Winters knows what's up. >> I can only speculate, sir. Most of the men would would never do this. I believe just a few of the sergeants may have felt their loyalty lay more to the platoon than to the company. And these few sergeants convinced all of the other NCOs's in your company to turn in their stripes. >> As staff sergeants, they have a great amount of influence, sir, but as I say, the rest are good men. I know them. I I can work with them. >> This business of the winter's court marshal has been an unpleasant distraction. >> Indeed. Indeed, it has, sir. >> However, your command of easy company has been exemplary. >> Thank Thank you, sir. >> In fact, division has established a parachute training school at Chilton Foliate. The idea is for non-infantry types who >> who are vital to the coming invasion, such as doctors and chaplain, to take jump training there. Frankly, I can't think of anyone more qualified to command such a school than you are. >> Oh, you're shipping them off? Damn, >> sir. >> To a to a little school? >> Yes. Are you on Top Gun? >> I'm reassigning you to Children Folio. >> Damn, that's so painful. Oh, I feel bad for him. Kind of. >> He's been busting them up. company >> war if it needs you elsewhere. >> Speak, sir. >> Granted, >> who will be replacing me? >> Lieutenant me and from Baker Company is senior. Good luck at Chilton Foli. Herbert, nobody's down. >> No, sir. [music] >> That's like they did my boy Chris Tucker in Rush Hour. Remember they kept sending him on these little missions? But he was good at telling them what to do, [laughter] you know. >> Yeah, he was. Yeah, he was. >> That's why I think he is coach like energy. >> May 31st, [music] 1944, England. >> Holy [ __ ] >> That's all. >> Is all this real? >> Yeah. Yeah. I'm from the s's to knock up a few actually. So I can get your mint piles on some of this Jerry clubber if you know what I mean. >> Not really. [laughter] >> Hey Matt, you got a Luger? I'm dying to get my hands on a real Luger. Yeah. Go on in. >> Quick pushing jet. >> Boy, she sure is a doozy. Hey, talk right in. >> What? >> I mean, enter. >> On the last training jump, I had a compass. >> Close the flap. >> Then we turn left. >> Yeah. >> Bearing 042. 12 minutes. >> Then another left. >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> Call it 358 for 10 and 1/2 minutes. >> It's Normandy >> Sam.

In the meantime, study these sand tables, maps, and reconnaissance photos until you can draw a map of the area by memory. And we will drop behind this Atlantic wall 5 hours before the fourth infantry lands at Utah. And between our assembly area and the battalion's objective, there is a German garrison right here in this area. Samurray Deont Company will destroy that garrison. >> Damn right they will. >> Three day supply.

My wife things back home casualty listing like that, you know. >> Garnier's brother in Italy, >> Henry killed him casino. >> Well, I'm sure he doesn't know. Damn. What do you think I should do? >> If it were me, I'd tell him. Couple hours before we jump. I don't know. >> What would you do? Would you tell them or not? >> I like I got I got something to tell you when you get back. >> Why are they springing these things on us now? >> Yeah. Make sure you get back. I got something to tell you. >> It's just an extra 80 lb strapped to your leg. Does anybody have any idea how the hell this thing works? >> Soldiers of the regiment, tonight is the night of nights.

This is where we were in the beginning of the show. Back to the movie theater. >> Imagine that. Like, you're ready to go. You're ready to go jump to your death. And now they postponed it another day.

See you in the assembly area. >> I'm stressed for them. >> I'm assuming the next episode is going to be the jump. That's going to be a crazy episode. >> The wire cuts are successful. I think what [music] we should have response damn, that air seat bill is making me lose. >> [music] >> I couldn't imagine what they're thinking. [music] >> Yeah. When people say it's hard to fathom something, you know, this would genuinely be hard to fathom. >> Mhm. >> Yeah. They call that the C47 Sky Train. I think [music] >> it looks dreary. Wow, that is a lot of planes. Soldiers, sailors, and airmen of the Allied Expeditary [music] Force, you're about to embark upon the great crusade towards which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. Good luck, and let us all beseech the blessings of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking. General Dwight D. Eisenhower, [music] Supreme Allied Commander. >> Hey, thanks for that little note. >> Appreciate you, Dwight. >> [music] >> So guys, I really like the way um this is being directed because it's taking real stories from real people. What it seems like, right? >> I mean, yeah, it's taking the the hardest stories that these soldiers have to tell and it's basically telling it from their perspective, just like in Saving Private Right. >> Sorry to interrupt you, but something I noticed was in a lot of documentary style things when you have someone up there in the screen, it will show like your name and something about you, like your position or something. and they had none of that. So, whoever is in whoever these people are portraying, we don't know their outcome. >> Maybe as the show continues, we'll we'll be able to put together who's who. >> Yeah. >> It'll be interesting. >> Yeah. >> The thing about the show to me, guys, it really reminded me of World War II and color um on the History Channel because >> they filmed this show with like this perfect grainy gray L. >> It really made me feel like I was in the past. Um even though it was filmed beautifully and it almost felt like World War II in color. It's not too saturated. The colors aren't too bright. It's not too >> But it gave a dark tone which which gave like a dreary vibe. >> Yeah, it it looks just like the show kind of. And I really like that part. Um I wrote down a few things throughout this episode, guys. I just want to say I think the drama in this episode is so well done. It was so well done. I think that the whole idea of introducing Soil and then telling his story and showing how like uh this guy's extremely anal on the details. >> Yeah. Can I say something about that real quick? The interesting part about what you just said is like there's they always show the lieutenant and the person in charge and they're a dick and they're annoying, but like whenever do you get to write into someone above you and ask can we like switch out because like we don't trust this person into war. >> Yeah. >> So I sorry to interrupt you. I thought that was insane that they actually got to do that. >> I think it's just the fact that he showed incompetency >> which I don't really blame him. I mean, I'm not above getting lost either, but um yeah, he just lost his he lost his soldiers, man. They don't want to go into war with this guy cuz they think he's a [ __ ] which he's obviously not a [ __ ] but he's given them a lot of reasons not to like them. So, anything he does is going to be scrutinized. I mean, you know how that goes. Like, if you're sitting there holding people to such a high standard, the second they get an opportunity to make a hypocrite out of you, they're never going to miss that opportunity. And I think that's what happened. But I was >> It was like the lady on Top Gun. >> She could coach it, but she didn't really like know to be in the trenches. >> Yeah. I I like his character. I think that his attention to detail and stuff, I mean, I felt like he was all in, you know? I felt like he cared about what he was doing. It didn't come across to me like he was just trying to climb the ladder, per se. I mean, obviously, you want to rank up and stuff, but it didn't seem like to me he was just trying to >> torture his, you know, torture his company on behalf of himself to make himself look better. Now, I know there's a bit of that going on, of course, because we all would do that to a certain extent. Like, I want my editor to do a good job to make me look better. You know what I mean? represent you. So yeah. >> So I mean I don't really blame him. It's just too early in the story to judge him. I've never been in that position. So for me to cast judgments upon him would be >> my favorite scene from him was when he was about to promote Winters >> and he was like going to go give him the I guess you call them stripes or I something like that. And um instead of making it like you know a sentimental thing he actually found more things wrong with the company. He found small things like magazines and things of that nature just kind of to prove more that he wants more out of them like that's not enough. >> Maybe maybe he wants his men to live and maybe those extreme anal attention to details you know like being that detail oriented like especially the difference between life or death >> when you're behind enemy lines and stuff man like you got to be able to pay attention to every little detail. I mean you never know what little detail is going to end up saving your life. He even blocked family letters and a perfect example of that was before the guy goes he gets that letter about his brother. >> Yes. Which was so sad the way he had to figure out but maybe they knew him better than I did and >> but it messed with his mental just as soil said would happen. >> Mhm. One interesting thing I wrote down is parachuting is obviously not a new concept at this point. Um I think parachuting was invented probably like the 1800s or so, but I guess it wasn't a part of like American warfare up until World War II. So the whole premise of the show is essentially they're all just sort of trying to figure this out. >> That's why they gave him a raise of $100. >> And that's why I feel like it's hard to be so hard on Soel because he's just trying to figure it out like everybody else. I mean, if you think about what they're doing, it's insane. >> It's groundbreaking. >> Yeah, exactly. Literally, they're going to like dive and break ground. [laughter] Um, so yeah, I did write down some stuff, guys, cuz I wanted to make sure I remembered all the details to talk about. We're not going to break down every single thing and try to talk for forever in every episode, but because this is the pilot episode, these are the things that I felt like were important to remember. So, this is the Easy Company. It's the 101st Airborne Division. Um, uh, what else is going on? So, basically, we're in a war. Obviously, this is World War II, which I'm really happy about cuz I know significantly more about World War II than I know about any other war. Yeah. Um, and then essentially, man, uh, we have Lewis Nixon, um, Lieutenant Winters, Herbal Herbert Soel. Those are our main characters. And Nixon and Winters are really good friends, even though they kind of made it a point to show how different they are in this episode, but they're really good friends and they have each other's back. And I actually really enjoyed both of them a lot. Yeah. >> Um, >> yeah. And then you have Ross from Friends, which is Soel. He's the CEO, the commanding officer, and he's played by David Schwimmer. Um, that's his name, David Schwimmer. Don't ask me how I know that. >> This is the only This is only the second role I've seen that guy in ever. >> Don't ask me why I know his name, but I just happen to know this guy's name. Okay. It's a long story that you're not interested in. I do know David Schwimmer, even though I've actually never seen Friends. I mean, I've seen an episode here or there, but I've never watched it through. >> I've watched a few episodes. I liked it a lot, actually. >> Right. Um, there was a lot of things. And so, basically what where we're at in this is, you know, we are about to go make our jump. It's basically the day of reckoning, man. We got to go. Everyone's about to go storm the beaches of France. Um, everyone's sitting there looking across the channel. We're waiting. And all of a sudden, we get delayed a day. And then throughout that day, we get to know these characters. We get to learn more about them and stuff. And we get to like, you know, go and see how we all got to this point. And I really like that part. I like how they had the little time jump. And then I like how we arrive right back to where we were. >> Yeah. And so all that is, you know, the story and all that stuff is drama and it's really good, but essentially where we're at is we got a really important job to do and we need to go try to clear out this land a little bit. >> Um, >> so yeah. So I guess we're going to see how all that happens in the next episode and it's probably going to be really gut-wrenching and hard to watch to be honest. It's actually not a very happy show. No. >> Is that I mean, obviously, I I didn't know we were going to be dealing with this subject, but as soon as I realized what we were about to do in this show, I realized this is just going to be a heartbreaking >> Yeah. >> hard show to watch, but I'm down. Like, I'm excited to watch it cuz I really enjoyed it. >> Me, too. >> And it's going to be really hard to watch the stories told from the actual human beings who are put in this position. And to be able to hear them tell the story is really crazy. But my biggest takeaway was they were saying that, you know, back when the draft happened, people couldn't go and stuff and they were so upset that they couldn't serve that they would end up killing themselves. Like, could you imagine that? >> And they also question their like credibility cuz they said we're just some country folks basically. >> Yeah. Like what? Yeah. Exactly. >> You know, that's duty. Like that's service, you know, like that's something that is completely gone in the world today. I mean, not completely, but >> um could you imagine anyone who's going to go shoot themselves because they couldn't go fight in the war? >> No. Oh, I mean that's insane, right? >> I heard there's like tricks where you can like get out of the draft or something. I I mean, I don't know exactly, but I've heard people like make them up and stuff. >> Well, good thing we don't have the draft, but you know, I'm sure there was tricks. >> Yeah, I've heard of them. >> Yeah. So, yeah, man. It just it really puts it into perspective how uh how selfless some of these soldiers were. Um and I'm really glad that this show didn't dive into like any politics. uh it deals with World War II, which essentially is political, but I kind of like how we're not really seeing it from the eyes of a politician or a high ranking officer necessarily. We're more seeing it from the eyes of the soldiers, right? And we're seeing it from the perspective of the men that was in the beginning of the episode. So, I think regardless of how anyone feels about anything, I think we can all respect >> the fact that they were there, you know, and that time in history. And I think we can just respect how brave and how much how large of nuts you would have to be to do this. And I think we can respect how that guy's impression like impersonation completely like threw that dude off. >> That guy was rattled. [laughter] So Belle was rattled at that moment cuz he should have went over there like why would your why would your higher up yell at you and not even >> tell you to cut some cattle free, [laughter] >> right? Crazy. I just really like the episode. I thought it was good. Oh, and then another thing is I wrote down some of the things I seen. So guys, uh so I wrote down the I think it's called the C47 Sky Train. I could be wrong. I don't know a lot of planes and guns from World War II era, but I do know some of them. And I know that one was a very popular one. Uh, shout out to my boy Michael and all of his World War II and color documentaries that we watched. Um, I also saw a couple guns I liked. I saw the uh the M1 Carbine. That's the one that has a pistol grip. I wrote that one down. We're obviously going to be using 45s. Um, >> I like how they showed us the British one out of nowhere just to show us a little like he [laughter] like held it and was like, "This is cool." And then that was the end of it. >> Yeah. >> He's like, "Give it back, mate." >> And then one thing I learned I'm going to try not to forget is the fifth beach is called Sword because we all know about all, you know, obviously Normandy is, you know, the most famous beach for us. I'm sure if you're Canadian, you know, it's more about like Juno Beach >> and Tom Hanks in that movie went on Omaha, right? >> Omaha Beach. Yeah, absolutely. What did I say? >> Nothing. You just said the last one was Sword. >> I feel like I just called it Normandy Beach, which is is if I called it Normandy Beach just now, guys. Sorry. I didn't mean to do that. Um, so yeah, Sword. Sword is the one I always forget about cuz there's five. But other than that, man, I really enjoyed this reaction. I hope you guys liked it. Do you have anything to add? >> No, I had a good time. I can't wait to watch more. >> Guys, I'm about to go uh go get something to eat and then I'm going to come back and I'm going to watch the second episode. So hopefully you guys like it because I'm gonna watch it soon. Let's go.
