In this episode, we discuss the new Netflix show, Stranger Things, and the new scene in which a young boy is raped by a man named Gay Luke Skywalker. We discuss the implications of this scene, and how it ties into the larger plot of the show.
00:02:46.000So it's got a lot of allusions back to old 1980s, you know, movies and growing up like that.
00:02:52.000And so similar to what Andrew was just saying about how youth brands and youth bands could have a second life.
00:02:59.000It's sort of like that same thing where it's, you know, this is a way for a lot of Gen Xers and, you know, elder millennials, Gen Yers to be able to sort of share the 80s with their kids.
00:03:09.000And they've gone and they've been making the show gayer and gayer as the seasons go on.
00:03:15.000And in this scene, this is the...so this is a flashback, what you're actually watching back to season one.
00:03:22.000So what you're seeing here is them reestablishing something or what they'd say, revealing something that actually happened in season one that they're only showing you now for the first time.
00:03:32.000And I watched this scene and you're seeing the big bad right there of the whole series.
00:03:40.000And what gay Darth Vader is doing, also known as Vecna, is he is metaphorically, you know, it looks like he is physically violating this young boy, we'll call him gay Luke Skywalker, with his tentacle.
00:03:56.000And he is shoving his tentacle down gay Luke Skywalker's mouth and shooting his dark effluvia down the boy's throat.
00:04:14.000And at which point gay Darth Vader then starts stroking the boy's face and his sort of neck also, his head also goes back in a form of pleasure.
00:06:07.000So Jack, did you say did you describe it?
00:06:09.000You said it was text a textbook gay rape scene.
00:06:11.000A representative like representative of pedophile behavior.
00:06:19.000And by the way, so there was a actually a professor from the University of Chicago sort of responded to my I wrote an op ed about this over the Thanksgiving break and sort of responded to my piece and said and said, yes, that's true.
00:06:32.000However, if you watch the rest and the rest of the season kind of gets into this where this character's name is Vecna, but I call him gay Darth Vader, where gay Darth Vader is then targeting other children.
00:06:46.000And and her point was, well, perhaps you could read it as a warning of grooming behavior.
00:06:53.000And while that's all, you know, well and good, I just think this scene itself in a TV series which has been marketed very largely towards children is just inappropriate.
00:07:11.000And, you know, you know, the fact that we have to blur it out for I mean, here's what I would say, Jack, to those people that were hating on you.
00:07:19.000It's like who who any age over like 15 wouldn't see this imagery and be like that looks a little phallic like you would, of course, see that you could not see that by looking at that image and then him petting the kid's head.
00:07:50.000I only watch season a lot of a lot of families watch the show.
00:07:53.000Yes, a lot of family watch together, like especially with like teenagers and stuff like that.
00:07:56.000And like a little bit like my kids are kind of in the perfect.
00:08:00.000My my two older kids are kind of in the perfect my no, I feel like nine, 10, 11, 12 year olds are like this is kind of like a really cool show to like that age group because it's just it's it's not really scary, but it's scary enough.
00:08:13.000And it's, you know, it's just kind of an interesting, you know, like Jack said, we've been asked.
00:08:18.000We've been asked. People are asking us to cut the video out because it's too disturbing to them.
00:08:22.000So I guess they're they're definitely agree.
00:08:24.000No, I mean, you can just you can just show us you can just show us still.
00:08:27.000But actually, what we could also show, which is separately from the video, which and by the way, that's my entire point, because the people who were like hating on me and this this went viral.
00:08:38.000This we got written up in international, you know, media over this.
00:08:42.000And I had all these these I call them the stranger simps.
00:08:45.000All the stranger simps were coming at me saying, oh, no, it's just you know, it's just like the scene in Alien.
00:08:50.000Don't you understand there? They're just doing a bit from Alien.
00:08:54.000I said, well, you understand that the movie Alien is meant to represent male rape.
00:09:02.000And the they're called the face huggers in Alien are meant to represent male rape because the it's it's sort of this, you know, creature that that grabs onto your face, injects it, injects its, you know, sperm, sperm, spore or whatever into your body.
00:09:18.000And then they become pregnant and then the pregnancy kills you.
00:09:28.000And they thought that if they could put this into the film, that it would make men perhaps more open to being pro choice if they understood what it was like to be raped and then get pregnant again.
00:09:39.000Go look at the actual writers of Alien.
00:10:03.000Just throw up 334 as B roll while we're talking.
00:10:05.000Because and and some of this other stuff, because you can see if in 334 and, you know, 339, 340, just scroll through them.
00:10:14.000Those because there are numerous tie ins to children's action figures, children's happy meals, all children, children's toys where they are clearly marketing this show towards children.
00:10:26.000I think that last one, that was just the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
00:10:46.000But it was like the kids were really, really young.
00:10:48.000It kind of had this like it was like kids.
00:10:52.000You were watching the world through these kids eyes and being terrified at this stranger thing that was kind of creeping into their reality.
00:10:59.000But it and I again, I could be misremembering, but it seemed completely appropriate for like a little slightly older children to watch.
00:11:07.000You know, there were some there were some like violence.
00:11:10.000But, you know, that's that's that's probably as much as season one was some adult themes.
00:11:14.000But it was like it was basically you're following around these kids and their lived experience.
00:12:31.000So the thing is, what's worse, the last five minutes of the last episode of Game of Thrones or the first five minutes of the Stranger Things episode?
00:12:38.000The thing about Game of Thrones is the badness of it was like the last five seasons of it, essentially.
00:12:43.000No, it was the last three seasons, but two or three seasons.
00:12:47.000So this for me, for me, if people are like, why is Jack commenting on this stuff all of a sudden?
00:12:51.000It's kind of like this is sort of a return to form for me because my original, you know, Twitter account and I had a blog going back in like 2012 through 2016 was all about ripping on Game of Thrones.
00:13:05.000I did a blog called The Angry G.O.T. Fan.
00:13:09.000And so that that was our focus the entire time was basically attacking HBO for what they were doing with Game of Thrones.
00:13:17.000And so this is a little bit of return to form because now I'm the angry Stranger Things fan, I guess, way before Critical Drinker, by the way, way before Critical Drinker.
00:13:26.000Although I love that guy. I think he's I think what he does.
00:13:29.000So so, Jack, you mentioned that this is kind of like pedophilia grooming like this is, you know, this is what some people are observing.
00:13:37.000This is as a warning. But it's like it occurs to me that the entire show is now in hindsight being 2020 is just one giant grooming exercise.
00:13:46.000That's what I said into a show. Yes, I've never watched you into a show because Stranger Things just clearly seems to be.
00:13:52.000I said it was a sissy hypno program to turn you gay. And I kind of suspect all three of you guys might be tainted by this.
00:13:59.000Your instincts were proven right here. I am pure. I have never watched it.
00:14:02.000No, Blake, Blake, I will unfortunately and begrudgingly admit that Blake was probably right about this.
00:14:07.000But there is do we have any of the OK, no, we don't have it here in these clips.
00:14:13.000There's a clip now in. So this is what's crazy, right? This is what they set it up with.
00:14:18.000There's a new clip in the very last episode of this, you know, current the current episode that had been released, where basically will the gay Luke Skywalker.
00:14:28.000And this is why I call him gay Luke Skywalker, because now he then talks to his lesbian friend, Robin Rockin' Robin.
00:14:37.000And she tells him that it's OK to be gay and you should just embrace your gayness.
00:14:48.000She just looked perfect. So God perfect. And it was right then and there that I knew she was the one that with Tammy, I would finally be able to be myself.
00:15:00.000You know, all of myself, because there was always this part of me that kind of scared me, you know.
00:15:06.000But I thought that if Tammy loved me, all of me, you know, I wouldn't be so scared anymore. And then he showed up, Steve the hare, Harrington.
00:15:18.000You probably can't guess the rest. And that's when it hit me. It was never about Don't Have Damn. It was always just about me. I was looking for answers in somebody else, but I had all the answers. I just needed to stop being so God f***ing scared.
00:15:41.000Again, that music you heard in the background was not synthwave. It was the undulations of the sissy hypno burrowing into your brain. You guys just you gave into it for four seasons.
00:15:53.000Blake is right. Blake is totally right. So so what happens, what I was referring to is and I see what's going on. Right after that, Will has this sequence where he decides to embrace himself.
00:16:04.000And then he is able to exhibit, you know, basically like force like powers the same way that Darth Vader does. So gay Darth Vader and gay Luke Skywalker both have these force powers now and are able to use them to fight.
00:16:19.000Wait, hold on. Well, I guess I guess I did reveal gay Darth Vader did kind of use the force on him, if you get what I mean.
00:16:27.000Oh, man. Well, oh, no. Oh, yeah, that's dirty. That's very dirty. So but what you said is interesting, Jack, you said that you said it as they have to because she said it in that clip where I just had to embrace me.
00:16:41.000So you and you were saying Will had to embrace himself and he gets these powers.
00:16:46.000But like, isn't that just some sort of like subliminal subliminal license to be entirely narcissistic, to just be completely obsessed with self, to worship self, to mm hmm.
00:16:58.000Yeah, that's OK. I'm just making sure that it's that on the nose.
00:17:02.000No, it's that on the nose, the entire thing. And so he he gives in and they've been playing and well, and I will tell you, by the way, that the and this is so the full season hasn't been released.
00:17:14.000So the sequence that they specifically mentioned, not just giving into self, but it shows him growing up with another boy.
00:17:24.000And as they're very young. So this idea that they're trying to imply is that he's been romantically sexually attracted to his best friend all along.
00:17:37.000And there's a theory that a lot of people have been talking about producer files, you know, had totally agrees, by the way.
00:17:44.000You should definitely get him on this episode where, you know, it almost seems like they're playing it out that he and the best friend boy are going to kiss or are going to have some kind of relationship or something like that.
00:17:58.000As if so, not only are they going back and recasting season one, it's like they're going back and recasting the entire show to be about child abuse, this weird pedophilic scene with gay Darth Vader and and now just about embracing gayness.
00:18:14.000So it really goes back to like what a lot of people have been warning about Netflix and that that movie cuties and a lot of things that Netflix does to just take stuff and then wokeify the heck out of it.
00:18:26.000Are we going to get a scene, you think, in the season finale where maybe like the two boys will like make out with each other and then they'll go like maybe someday this racist country will have a first black president and he could make gay marriage legal.
00:18:41.000Yeah, literally. He'll be like, that's literally a gay marriage. That doesn't make sense. And they'll say, like, we can make it make sense. Yes, we can. And then it will fade out literally the Obama hope poster credits.
00:18:54.000Yeah, they'll meet another boy who comes in to help them in the final battle.
00:18:59.000Right. And they're like, what's your name? I go by Barry. But yeah, yeah, he's Barry.
00:19:05.000I go by Barry. I see a student from Hawaii. Right.
00:19:10.000The you know, it's so Jack, I just started belabor the point. But are they saying that homosexuality is just self narcissism?
00:19:22.000So I don't think so, because I don't think they're that self aware. I think they're I think the general message is that being homosexual is good, that you should follow your heart, do whatever you feel like.
00:19:37.920Your impulses are all that matters. Your urges are all that matters. Do whatever feels right. And you be you.
00:19:45.140And this, you know, if you watch a lot of Netflix, we know that Netflix has a huge LGBTQ section.
00:19:51.420We know that they inject these storylines into property after property over and over again.
00:19:56.760And I think it's I don't I don't think it's I don't think they're trying to be that on the nose.
00:20:03.220I think they literally think it's good writing, which it's not, obviously.
00:20:07.520What do you find interesting, though, is I don't know if there might be in Blake, you might, you know, I'd like to hear your take on this.
00:20:14.480Because it almost feels a little subversive, too, because, again, they're showing that the child who was the first one to be abused by Vecna, then later goes on to become gay.
00:20:27.940So it's like, what what what mean? What what mean, Netflix?
00:20:32.520So it's like it's like if there's some guy who's like in the background, like who's actually like closetly, you know, closetly like conservative, who's like, what if we what if we had Vecna abuse him?
00:20:43.800And everyone just kind of went along with it. But he actually is like putting a subliminal message inside the, you know, underneath that that overt message.
00:21:21.820But like, do we have stats on, you know, if it's in the percentage of people that are that are that are self-described like they were abused as a child.
00:21:29.600So in the op ed, I did research for this.
00:21:32.640I did. I did look this up and there was a Vanderbilt study from 2022 that said that found that hetero or excuse me, homosexual adults reported instances of child abuse at a three to four times higher rate than the heterosexual population.
00:22:02.380And so they're trying to kind of sneak it in, which which obvious because obviously it's totally at odds with everything that the characters are saying, you know, embrace yourself, just be yourself, whatever, whatever.
00:22:12.660But also, you know, it's like it's kind of contradictory because we don't see him, you know, being like this before the the scene.
00:22:21.880We only see so after Foz, Foz just dropped something in the chat that convinced me that this is really just like the whole like Stranger Things is five seasons or whatever.
00:22:33.020It's just like a gay fifth sixth sense because in three thirty five, we have a clip.
00:22:38.380My hawk says she wouldn't exist if her parents hadn't aborted her sibling like that.
00:22:47.100I'm with this really beautiful essay about her abortion that she got when she was really young and about how if she hadn't have had it, she wouldn't become the person that she'd become.
00:22:56.560And I wouldn't exist and how both of my parents lives have been totally derailed and she hadn't had access to safe and legal health care, fundamental health care.
00:23:05.380And I, of course, like wealthy people will always be able to get abortions.
00:23:09.860But so many people, because of this ruling this like week, will not only not be able to pursue their dreams, but actually lose their lives and be unsafe.
00:23:21.160Was she seated on that in like a dark she seated cross like I didn't miss that, but I think she had her leg under her.
00:23:28.400Yeah, that's a little odd, but that reminds me of that Pramala Jayapal tweet where she was like, abortion is health care.
00:23:41.320A lot of people on the abortion topic, what's clear is a very common normie sentiment on abortion is you're not you're not killing a separate human being.
00:23:52.380It's just I guess, you know, we have D&D and Stranger Things.
00:24:51.940And so one of the top bidders for this is Netflix.
00:24:56.560So they're coming in with like this Netflix, which is known for being one of the wokest, you know, organizations on the planet.
00:25:07.040One of the wokest things that they have is, you know, this is where, you know, where all of every pretty much every show they get, they're either going to put something woke in there.
00:25:18.720They're going to make a lot of children's content, including gay characters, including LGBT characters.
00:25:24.440There was one that was like a about a couple of years, a couple of months ago where it was like just two nights and they just started being gay all of a sudden for no reason.
00:25:34.580This is where one of the this is where, of course, Cuties came out, which was just a straight up pro pedophilia movie based in France.
00:25:44.200And I believe if I remember correctly, there was a writer.
00:25:47.480What was that show Paranormal Park, I think, where they had trans characters?
00:25:53.720And I think the creator of it was actually attacking Charlie, like making fun of Charlie after he was killed was another Netflix show.
00:26:01.040I forget exactly what he said, but it was it.
00:26:03.840I remember that being another Netflix show with a trans character.
00:26:07.140And so imagine if you will write how we would have to respond if Netflix all of a sudden got in charge of like the Looney Tunes at Warner Brothers, got in charge of like Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck.
00:26:23.180And also, by the way, WB also owns like what else all of the D.C. superheroes.
00:26:28.040So like Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, who I believe they already made gay in in Warner Brothers, The Flash, et cetera.
00:26:37.560I'm not I'm not sold on this making a big difference.
00:26:40.060I mean, we already have an example of beloved characters getting taken over by a turbo gay company and it's called the Disney Corporation.
00:26:48.520They've they've made a lot of stuff really gay.
00:26:50.040I didn't get well, but you're just proving you're just proving my point, though, that if Netflix gets this, you know, it takes my guess is I'm saying that there's another big big gay.
00:27:01.020I just don't think we're going to see a lot of gay Bugs Bunny, because when was the last time you saw anything related to Bugs Bunny?
00:27:20.820There's a whole new there's a whole new show where it's like it's got like an overarching plot, basically, you know, where where they you know, the character is kind of the storylines like flow.
00:27:58.960The other two companies are Comcast, which honestly, I'm obviously not a huge fan of since they run, excuse me, MTH now.
00:28:06.420And then Paramount, which is interesting because Paramount, of course, yeah, they have Paramount Plus and they have Yellowstone, which, of course, I've been quite outspoken on.
00:28:16.220But they did also just, you know, take over CBS News.
00:29:01.380I totally, it totally slipped my mind as we were having the conversation that Obama is, I don't know if he's on the board specifically, but they have a major, major deal between Barack, Michelle Obama.
00:29:16.140He definitely got a huge contract to make those documentaries that five people watch.
00:29:19.580I was looking up, no, it's documentaries and feature films.
00:29:22.660They did the whole thing with Julia Roberts about like the, it was like, what was like an energy wave kind of thing, like crashes and, you know, everyone loses power.
00:29:42.500Susan Rice gets on the board and then suddenly, but the Obamas, the Obamas are clearly deeply in bed with it.
00:29:49.120So how do they think we're going to react if the Obamas then take, like, imagine if the Obamas have a direct line to controlling CNN and controlling like everything the WB does.
00:30:02.380It's like, no, that's, I would go to war over that.
00:30:05.940I would a hundred percent go to war over that.
00:30:13.560And by the way, by the way, everybody, I remember all those conspiracy theories about how, you know, what did they know?
00:30:20.120Did they know something was going to, going to happen?
00:30:22.460And then there was the scene where all the Teslas, which people thought was like an intentional dig at Elon Musk because all the Teslas get taken over by some mysterious power or force or alien beings, and they just start crashing all these Teslas.
00:30:40.800I'm telling you, this is absolutely the Obamas are trying to take over media.
00:30:47.160They are trying to take over a media empire.
00:30:49.200They've already done it with Netflix, which, by the way, I'd love because I think Stranger Things started like almost 10 years ago.
00:30:56.160So that was before the Obama partnership.
00:30:59.180So before Susan Rice was on the board, before they had the Obama partnership, he was still he was still president when it started or certainly when they were making the show.
00:31:07.000But now, right now, they're required to do all this extra stuff.
00:31:11.140So they even have to go back to season one and make it all gay.
00:31:15.160And in fact, actually, one thing that's really interesting, it just occurred to me as well, they've also caught Netflix stealth editing, Stranger Things, where they will because it's a streaming service, right?
00:31:27.120So they'll go back and they've actually like slightly edited certain characters and certain storylines as the show is going.
00:31:35.140So if you go back and watch season one right now, yeah, yeah, there was a whole scene where one character was kind of like a peeping Tom of the character.
00:31:44.020Jonathan was peeping on Nancy and they like basically like re-edited the whole sequence so that he was just sort of like outside but didn't mean to be looking in or something.
00:31:54.320So there's the guy with the shutter camera.
00:31:59.720So if you go back in season one and look at it now to do a re-watch, it's like it's like a slightly different, you know, a slightly different narrative.
00:32:52.740And I would also add, you know, I'd also add that, you know, you have to know what you're up against because millions of people who make decisions in politics,
00:33:05.000who make decisions in media, who then go on to just exist in the world, they are now all going to have this mental model.
00:33:13.660This will be the mental model that they are given.
00:33:15.960This is where most people get their stories from.
00:33:18.220That's where they get their beliefs from.
00:33:19.440That's where they get their history from.
00:33:22.020There's no more powerful instrument in the entire world – movies, TV shows, streaming, et cetera – that people get this from than here.
00:33:31.900That's why – whether it's Game of Thrones 10 years ago or, gosh, almost 14 years ago when I started doing that to Netflix now, to Star Wars back when they were doing that and they were making everything crazy.
00:33:43.280Disney got really mad at me over the Star Wars thing.
00:33:45.780Actually, Rian Johnson as well, who was the writer of the second Disney Star Wars movie, because I pointed out that in the Disney Star Wars films, all the heroes were this, like, diverse band of rebels, and all of the villains were white men.
00:34:01.480Every single one was a white man, and all of the heroes were not.
00:34:05.620And of the heroes who were white men or the one straight white woman, they were all killed one by one from the old movies.
00:34:14.020Just saying, just saying, I'm noticing things.
