Sacred Symbols+, Episode 266 | The Last of Us (HBO) Review Discussion and Spoilercast (Season 1, Episode 4) (Video)

Just finished another run on Last of Us Part 1 Remake and while watching the credits there was a statement dedicated to Bruce Straley thanking him for his efforts to Naughty Dog. I bring this up because of the lack of credit he received for the show. I believe that's due to the TV industries rigorous union and crediting system. It leads me to believe they would've gave him some sort of shout out if they were allowed to.

Brannon H

Got it.

Colin Moriarty

Oh no.

Colin Moriarty

I find all love scenes uncomfortable.

Colin Moriarty

Gotcha.

Colin Moriarty

I don't know where that came from!

Colin Moriarty

Thank you.

Colin Moriarty

Thank you so much. =)

Colin Moriarty

It's great casting, I'm digging it.

Colin Moriarty

Thank you.

Colin Moriarty

Yeah, we discuss this in the show.

Colin Moriarty

Biggest issue with the show is it really toned the violence down to almost pg level.

Nemesis Enforcer

Jawn was absolutely used in the 90s as a Philly native. It's played out now.

Nemesis Enforcer

Kathlean you know her real name is Karen.

Regarding Colin’s comment about homophobia surrounding episode 3. I knew Frank and Bill were gay and I don’t care however, the bedroom scene in the show was just really unnecessary and uncomfortable to watch.

Brent

I grew up in the Philly burbs and can confirm that Jawn has been around since at least the 90s. We definitely said it in high school. I’m 42.

Dagan is the absolute goat, but hearing him say he loves Arby’s broke a small piece of my heart 😂.

Dylan Michael

Except she is a complete nutter, totally unhinged in her search for Henry. Joel and Ellie are mercenaries Henry called in from outside, like ummm huh? Ignoring the coming zombie underground threat, like locking the door will fix it? Oh and who can ignore killing the Dr? First off it’s a big city, how would he know where Henry is really? And because a doctor couldn’t heal one person she decides to shoot him? Maybe you need doctors for other reasons? I have to disagree with the team, not a great character, but I’m sure she will meet a gruesome death in episode 5 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hogan53

Couldn't agree more with the notion that people need to check themselves on their gut reactions to subject matter they're not innately comfortable with. You were all very well spoken on this point.

Cun

This show and podcast have become integral parts of my weekly routine and I appreciate the great content, thanks!

Chris Suhre

I loved the leader as you can tell she is the type an actual community would look to . Probably a local councillor runs pta and would normal be the one who would get things fixed. When in a lot of the show when they follow psychos I’am usually wondering why are you following that complete nutter.

Garry

I found myself wishing for her inclusion while listening to the Uncharted 4 Knockback.

Really enjoying the inclusion of Micah on these episodes. She's got the podcasting chops for sure.

Stewy108

I think they chose Kansas city as opposed to Pittsburgh because Pittsburgh has a very unique set up that may be hard or too expensive to replicate. You think about 3 rivers coming into the city, multiple bridges, and the crazy topography of the land overlooking the city. If they did it just slightly wrong it would be so obvious.

Kathleen is woefully miscast. She seems like a frumpy school teacher who couldn't control a classroom of toddlers let alone a rebellion that took out Fedra. If she has anything to do with what happens to Sam and Henry it will be an agonizing misstep for this adaptation.

Jared Ketner

Kathleen 🤣 The fuck is this?

Devlin England

I resent Dagan referring to my city as second rate. Only jesting of course. It was cool for me to see my city pop up in a big name show. Even if it wasn't really filmed there.

Samuel Mills

I was surprised not to see any mention of the bearded lieutenant accompanying Kathleen, the actor who plays Tommy in the games. Shout out to Jeffrey Pierce! (Apologies if it was mentioned and I missed it)

Juan Paolini

Just finished Knockback five minutes ago with Dagan's dad joke, and then hopped right into Micah's "moma joke", its going to be a good day.

Ryan Hayman

Keep up the awesome work guys! Loving these
