I AM DYING OVER THE CHARACTER A AND B CONVERSATION LOLOL

Sam M

The character death at the end of the Witcher series books. Or should I say deaths, those broke me to my core. Also, basic boy, but Arthur Morgan in Red Dead 2, I got a good honor ending, and he did not deserve to go out that way. It was so heartbreaking. He just comforted his horse and I wasn't in a good state for that

Phil H

I knew who they were talking about but still got disoriented and caught myself laughing through it.

Jonathan Dasani

Omg. I loved the Baroque Cycle! I love Neal Stephenson!

Nicholas Bugeja

Listening to this, I was praying that they were gonna roll for investigation because it made no sense to me how she cut herself.

the chompie man

Always figured Anthony did it for freddy pulling the time travel on him lol

Namedafterabook

Definitely a character death in gaunts ghosts

Miki

Character A and Character B bleep was so funny Freddie thank you

Enbny

does anyone know which game of thrones death they’re talking about?

Blu

Pour one out for them editing all the bleeps

Keith Rodriguez

Glad they didn’t spoil this almost 20 year old show

Daniel Roberts

So evangelion. There are movies after the series?

Emerson C

i can't believe they talk about wrath of khan as the worst death and then don't even bring up spirk during the ship discussion. insane

ManicPixie

Criminal Minds season 5 episode 9 😭

ScoopyOopyPoopy

One of the biggest "hits" I had for a character death was for the movie My Girl. I was probably 15 when watching it with my parents, completely emotionally distant, never-cry, middle child girl at the time, and that movie had me clutching my stomach and sobbing in the kitchen while watching it. It is a FANTASTIC movie. It just depicts loss and grief in so many different ways and so many different scenarios

Caleb Crawford

The death in Downton Abbey, season 3, episode 5 absolutely wrecked me. I have watched it multiple times and it never gets easier. Often, on-screen character deaths are intimate, but this one had so many people in the room all reacting to this horrible and unexpected moment that seemed to stretch on forever and the performances were so incredibly raw by everyone involved, it still to this day does not feel like acting, but watching something real happen.

Caleb Crawford

This was the only one that made sense to me too given the context.

Caleb Crawford

To Frank M, I was wondering that too, but then Anthony said people told him that character reminded them of him and I can't think of anyone in the Red Wedding that would fit that description, but Pedro Pascal's character does seem to fit. So that would be my guess too.

Mighty Mjolnir

Ngl I love yalls intros this season. I hope they stay this good unique and entertaining (especially the music/song ones).

James Bowden

CHARACTER B 🗣️🗣️🗣️

CJ

So late for EST coast. Will enjoy tomorrow though.

CJ

Same. I want to listen to the uncut version.

FoxDeploy

What did everyone do when Anthony just walked out for a wrestling match? That would have been an amazing live show! Freddy did a great job with the sound effects in this one btw

JOSHUA SCOFIELD

Is this leading into the entourage arc? Surprise entourage arc???

King Gingie

Character A, Character B 😂

Baba

I wish Anthony killed glen at the cabin instead of what happened.

Tabitha McDonald

They have Jimmy on speed dial, right? Ron shouts out his name, Glenn takes the express route to kick his dad's ass while Jodie and Lil Nicky get Willie down to death save territory and Ron can slap the bracelets on.

Tabitha McDonald

Anthony is brilliant in the same way that Michael is in The Good Place, and I mean that with the highest regard.

Kimberly Tevis

Anthony definitely did the right thing with regard to kids on the slope, by midway through the show the heterosexual nonsense piles up such that there's a chain of five or six characters crushing on the next character in the chain that it becomes absolutely insufferable. The jazz slaps but it's not worth it

Ilan Woll

Curious as to what wrestling show?

Brianna M

Complete delight

Amanda Patton

Thanks for answering my question!

Kelly Rubinsohn

I thought I knew who they were talking about but once Character B was introduced I know longer knew who was who

Arlo Thyme

Finally someone gives Ida Maria the respect she deserves. Thank you , Matt!

pulled a muscle yearning

I loved Freddie's automotive attention to detail, I mostly listen while at work working on classic cars, or at home working on my own '73 Super Beetle that I autocross. I'm always game for car talk (with or without gartok). HMU if you ever need like way too much detail into any car related shit lol

Kate Kimmis

Y’all it’s killing me- who was the GOT character Anthony mentioned?

Lana Hignett

✨C h a r a c t e r A, C h a r a c t e r B✨

Saint Judas

"Sometimes school shooters are just bad people that shoot up schools" is the best way to explain the travesty that was Kylo Ren

Kolby Meenk

I NEED see the piecharts displaying who talks the most on podcast! Are they referencing a real thing?

Mel Mel

I thought it was Fred and Wesley. I mean I usually tie them together because either death is like a reflection of the other. Fred dies and becomes Illyria and says "lie to me" and then when Wesley dies she lies to him by becoming Fred. Honestly Whedon seems to be a complete prick but man he writes death so well

Mel Mel

I've not seen the show but from his description I would *guess* the dude who gets his head poppped by the mountain? Oberyn Martell?

SlowJamsForever

Loved the discussion of character deaths in shows, first thing I thought of is that there's a lot of character deaths in Humans that hit hard. Two in particular which I'm not going to spoil, just in case anyone winds up actually watching it. One in S2 and one in S3 and they're both played brilliantly. The show does such a good job of making you care about every character that whenever it rips that away, it's just extra gutting. DnD is actually one of the only other media that I feel nails them quite that well.

Chris Bean

The viper fight is when I stopped watching game of thrones as well. One of the most impactful character deaths for me was Felicia Day in Dr horrible

Jasmine Phillips

I have to say, the Willy Twist in this episode literally hit me like a freight train. I honestly had such a visceral reaction to it like the shock and horror I felt was so extreme! Testament to all of y’all for that but definitely Anthony and Freddy really were kinda mvp this episode 😅

Erin R

I’m just excited to see what they do for this final arc of this season! The twist with Willy was such an ego kick for all of them.

Gregg Simms

Are Matt and Freddy still going to be in season 2? Did they sunset storybreak to leave room for daddies?

DrChristmas

Someone from the cast tweeted “Anthony fucked us!” a while ago, so I was on the lookout. When Anthony said that they had maxed out the Omega Dads’ preparation track and that he’d have to come up with new things for them, I wondered if that was the fuckening. That would definitely make you wince, but probably not provoke a tweet like that. I was wondering if the hammer would fall the next episode before it actually happened and hoo boy!

Charleen Lamphere

Wait. Y'all won't say the names of people who died in a tv series SIXTEEN YEARS AGO. But a movie that was released 2 years ago is fair game? 🤣

Reverend_Krenke

Does anyone know the GOT character they are talking about? I am on season 5 and trying to recall who it could be?

Dominoes

One character death got to me was for sure the fucking avengers endgame one bc I really thought it was gonna be someone else

Martin Adams

Freddie, the “Character A” “Character B” thing is the funniest thing I’ve heard all day! I don’t know how you manage to find the perfect mundanity to twist into humor so often but that got me.

Eli Broide

How are you even literally alive?!? :)

Marie

I thought it might be Renly Baratheon?

Marie

Same!

Marie

But yeah actually Anthony says the death was gruesome so Oberyn Martell makes more sense

Erick Espinosa

Freddie says Glenn was at 113 hit points, but took 13 damage therefore not being under 100. So kill word wouldn’t have worked right? Or did I miss something there. Either way, very good plot development

Finnian Day

I'd think Kill the DJ by Green Day would be Glenn's song

Sander Goldman

Am I crazy or did the Ron therapy scene happen in the previous episode also?? I distinctly remember hearing Anthony's awesome line about having so much love before I heard it in this ep.

Jenica

I listened to this episode once and was shocked. Then I listened again and it was FULL of foreshadowing. Anthony dropped hints everywhere. Henry specifically told Glenn to go to hell to get his kid back. By the end of the second listen, I was convinced that Glenn's death was a team effort from a room full of storytellers who needed a very specific ending for a satisfying character arc, and then I was surprised at the very real panic when nobody could stop the death. Strong foreshadowing in improv is incredible. I'm very impressed.

kiarra burd

Ok no hate but the Doomsday episode (season 2 I think?? ) of Doctor Who will forever ruin me. I think it's still overall kind of a cheap way to play a (sort of) death but the fact that they led up with it being a possibility beforehand and then actually committed to the ramifications is so devastating. I still can't watch it without sobbing and it's been over ten years. Honourable mention to Moulin Rouge, specifically with Chocolat's performance and (character's) scream of despair.

acaciaskye

Fuckin love Ida Maria!!!

Panpan

The repetition of “character a, character b” nonsense ugh I’m tired and it made my head explode, I have no idea what’s happening

Andrew Duck

I just rewatch Torchwood Children of Earth and honestly the last 2 episodes of that miniseries is like a full on crying marathon, I love it so much. The death at the end of episode 4 gets me everytime.

Nick Ellis

Glenn dying was the saddest part of the podcast since Ron lost his ability to wear pants 👖

Kevin Rasmussen

I was waiting for the episode to end on a zinger from one of the dads in their 15 seconds to react saying "Go to hell Glen"

Krigaren

Glenn dying is going to make things incredibly interesting...

Alex Wade

The angel banter made me happier than anyone could imagine. The fact my favorite creators also connect with angel and buffy the same way I do but my generation knows nothing of it :/ so I literally have like 1 person to talk to about other than my parents

Austin Baker

I never watched game of thrones because I had a hunch like matt said they were just going to kill characters to be edgy and "realistic" when it's just childish and repulsive and not what stories are about.

cronchroach

I feel like Anthony might be referring to the character that gets watermelon squished, if you know what I mean. Season 4.

cronchroach

Will’s George Bush folding chair comment healed me from the last episode.

Ellie Rohrback

Question: I apologize if this has been asked already (I'm not caught up on Talking Dads yet). When the dads entered the forgotten realms, they entered into classes, like Ron is a rogue, Darryl is a barbarian, etc. Do the sons have classes? Do they have "powers?" We know Terry Jr. can do magic, because he almost opened a portal to another dimension. Can any of the other sons cast spells?

Flyingtortuga

I think Glenn is gonna come back with Jodi and Nick

Jenica

I think you're right (but Nick Jr is the rat named after Nick the kid)

Flyingtortuga

@jenny jo oops lol. But if it doesn't happen that's fine too! Just seems the literary move to me.

hotgirlkisser

i wasnt sure if the daddies were going to get the roc back to fight the dragon and so the dragon resist knife got me so excited. even the talking dads episode about it feels like an emotional rollercoaster

The Lord off Stinks

I mean what’s the strongest thing they came across this far, but the question is how? Like it defeats this being a game even if this is staged. I would like to see it, and in a way that is creative enough to convince me it wasn’t planned.

Will Duuudridge

Dude that would be so cool. Freddy make that happen

Thomas Lim

After listening back to the first episode with my wife, I wonder if an ambulance and an AAA van made it there. They would be good help in the final fight :)

Brandon Quinn

I accidentally listened to the first minute of this before listening to the episode 🤦‍♂️

Ralph Bravo

Jesus this episode left me shocked!!

Jordan Scolyer

Well atleast we still have our boy Paeden right?

Bekah

The ending of Repo, where Anthony Stewart head dies is the hardest death for me. I'm always a wreck after and It always feels like my dad just died

Mike Deme

I put an entire movie theater into a state of uproarious laughter when I saw Rise of Skywalker by singing the ending credits theme when they crashed into the quicksand. Maybe top 5 best moments of my life 😂

Angela Shrader

Thinking about the doctor in House that passed and when it aired on TV they had a number for the suicide hotline. He tried reaching out to the doctor team and everyone was too busy 😭

skettibiscuit

Omg I never noticed that the knife was submitted by “Will S” I was just like “oh like Will Will? Wait no his last name is a C duh”

Reem A

I was dying during the whole "character A character B" bit 🤣

Panda_Dork

I would pay good money to see the tower of terry bar fight against vampire girl with glenn performing a one man cover of Ballroom Blitz in the background. 😂
