Knight Rider Season 2 Episodes Goliath, Brother’s Keeper, and Merchants of Death Review

Night Rider, a shadowy flight into the dangerous

world of a man who does not exist. the helpless,

the powerless, in a world of criminals who operate

above the law. Welcome to Beyond the Night brought

to you by the GCN and audible .com I am one of

your Steve Jim and Mike and joining me as always

is Dion the music man Hello, sir. I get I get

to pick on you before we record. This is fun.

I enjoy this Well, just remember I'm not the

one complaining about Facebook I don't use it

anyway Okay, where was I Today we're going to

be going beyond the night and reviewing the first

three, technically four, episodes of Knight Rider

Classic Season 2. Hit the turbo boost, kid. May

I get you something? Arsenic? A little sodium

pentothal, perhaps? Elizabeth, I want you to

stop this insanity that you and Garth are planning.

Oh, David, how like Wilton you are. So dramatic.

Such a flair for hyperbole. I want you to know

that I flew to Rio de Janeiro. I found Dr. Elliott.

I also know that you were there, and I know why.

Yes, I did visit him in Rio. After all, we were

old friends. The fact that he died shortly after

I left had more to do with a bad heart than exotic

poison. I said nothing about poison. You are

a... Such a dear and so charming. But you are

so suspicious. I have no intention of sparring

with you, Elizabeth. I know that you have the

formula for Kitt's molecular bonded shell. I

also know about Red Bluff. Now, isn't that enough?

No. I believe you two already know each other.

Yes. It's been quite some time. before your African

experience. You know, you're amazing. You're

like my late father. Perhaps it's why I dislike

you so. Garth, I came here to reason with you

and your mother. It's too late for reason, Mr.

Miles. It's too late for anything but war. Our

victory, your defeat. And you will be defeated.

You... the foundation for law and government,

and Michael Knight, especially Michael Knight.

Large isn't the word. It's enormous. Goliath.

I believe it's time for a strategic withdrawal,

Michael. Not so fast. Let's see what Garth's

got in mind. My sensors detect the vehicle in

question is armored with my protective shell.

Michael, surely you're not planning to go nose

to nose with that behemoth? That's what I want

Garth to think, pal. But if we're quick enough,

we can knock out his right front wheel. I love

this uh... aspiring photojournalist i guess uh...

i don't know he uh... he finds you know the the

staging area where goliath is being built except

for except for except for he seems to think that

he can sneak around which he so can't help since

ended up getting shot uh... you know and he ends

up like i said just said getting shot and it

is revealed to be a goateed style david hassle

often i was like I remember as a kid, I was like,

wait, no. No, no, no, no. What the hell? Oh boy.

But I absolutely love this episode. It took me,

normally it wouldn't take me this long, but it

took me three days to watch this two hour episode

in order to be prepared for this show because

I have so many different things going on and

it's like, okay, I have to... Devote this time

to this this time to this and I have to do this

this this and this and this and it took me three

and a half days Because not only do I have to

and I don't mind doing this I like doing it not

only do I have to sit here and watch it and enjoy

it and write down notes and everything else as

I'm watching it I'm also going back and making

sure I can clip out certain audio bits and this

that you know they to make sure that the editing

of a show is Is you know done and everything

else? But no, I love this as I said, I think

it was either episode 7 or episode 8 where I

Honestly truly believe where Knight Rider excels

is their season premieres and where they kind

of falter is their season finale I agree And

you know, you know you went from short notice

in season 1 the last episode To to to this and

and this was amazing now when we did episode

It was either episode eight, the recap, or it

was episode six with White Bird. We had said

that what if White Bird was the season one finale?

Which would have made sense. Yeah, it would have.

Well, it would have made sense, but, you know,

it was the 80s, and nothing in the 80s made any

damn sense. Yeah, I know. Um, but, um... But

can you imagine if white bird was the season

one finale and then going you know starting with

this and going into this and I was like Oh, wow,

that would have been so cool. But no we're here

the whole plot here is Garth wants revenge on

Michael for because Wilton gave Michael everything

Garth was supposed to have and his mother is

a conniving little bitch and Everything else

and she poisons people and kills people and She's

a true Black Widow's biter. What are your overall

thoughts on Goliath as far as the plot and stuff?

The plot, interesting that we actually see David

Hasselhoff playing two parts. Yeah, I'll get

to that later. Yeah. And interesting that we

see a molecular bonded shell truck. Yeah. A truck

that sounds like a lion. Yeah. Now the story

flows very well. It's very interesting again

You know we're getting Knight Rider continuity

as far as an overall plotline within the series

really like that I Find it kind of This episode

is almost like a like two different sides of

a coin because you have on one one hand you have

Garth who you know once you know, revenge and

everything else and you've got this moron that

he's working with, Sambacuda, whatever, that

just wants the guns and the missiles and everything

else so he can, you know... Do not make fun of

the African people. It's a dumb plot! It's a

dumb fucking plot! Okay, okay, I get why... Just

don't, dude! No, no, no, I get why Samba Kuna

is there. I understand that because he helped

Garth get out of prison, et cetera, et cetera,

et cetera. But that whole aspect of it, that

could have just been cut back so much. It could

have been split. One scene, and then that's it.

You just kind of put together the rest. Pretty

much, yeah. Yeah. Any other overall thoughts

on the plot or anything what to do with this

one before we get into the good stuff and the

bad stuff a lot of twists and turns Of course

we find Devin poisoned Yeah, you know that type

of thing and of course Won't be the first time

won't be the last either Well, actually, this

was the first. Well, this was the first time

for this. This was the first time, but it won't.

Yeah, it won't be the last time is what I meant.

But, you know, a lot of a lot of good twists

and turns for this one. It's it. It'll keep you

on your on the edge of your seat as we will continually

discuss in this recording. So, oh, yes, very

much so. I have a little plan to field test Goliath

tomorrow. I expect him to be ready. By noon,

as promised. Well, this shall be completely hard

by then. Final code is scheduled to be applied

at 8 a .m. It'll reach maximum density within

an hour and a half. That's very good. What about

the rockets? They're ready for installation.

Proceed? Yes, sir. Let's turn the scanners on.

I've got a lot of notes for this, obviously.

That's no Michael Knight. Who the hell is that

guy? And even though I remember this episode,

I remember seeing it as a kid. And since then,

like the thing with the other one, the other

episode where Michael was dressed up in the ski

mask, the one that we didn't like with the inch.

The software. The software. Nobody does it better.

Yeah, yeah. You know, even though I didn't realize

that was Michael at first, I mean, obviously,

because Garth is also played by David Asselhoff,

you would think of, holy crap. You know, what

the hell? But that's no Michael Knight. I really

like the scene after Devin hangs up when kid

is driving through the sunset. I thought that

was a really cool looking shot with the car against

the backdrop. Again Stuff Michael was kept in

the dark about I like that his reaction was more

resigned this time around though Whereas in trust

doesn't rust. He was super angry, you know And

I think that it was more shock though this time

around was more it was more shock because You

know, what did will tonight do? Restructure my

face To look like, you know, to look in Garth

Knight's image, you know, so it was more shock

this time. Then then it was and trust doesn't

rust. Yeah, I really like that Goliath essentially

destroys kit. And then we get down. Yeah. Well,

you needed that and you needed that time of of

having a disconnect from the foundation and from

April because Michael actually knows how to fix

his own car. Yeah Out of the desert Yeah, I Love

the casino scene 50 ,000 they do pass 50 ,000

they don't that was great. Yeah he took the bait

we hooked him real good um now this is something

that i i don't know if it was really really like

super popular in the 80s i know in the 90s it's

really started being super popular about you

know customizing uh cars and everything else

but i love that now in 1983 a kid can tint his

own windows um i do believe that that was popular

in the 80s. It was slowly starting to come around.

Yeah. Yeah. I love how they made Goliath to be

out like a monster with a word with those roaring

sound effects. I would love to know what soundtrack

they used, because that was just so awesome.

Yeah. That was great. Here, hold this. Ouch.

Sorry. Is there anything I can do like drive?

Yeah. I love how when Michael is pulling stuff

out of Kit, Kit reacts to it. It's like, oh my

god. What are you doing? And actually, the lady

that plays Rita, we do see her in season one,

Night of the Phoenix. Yeah. I don't know if she

had a name in season one. I don't think they

had her. character named I thought they did okay

but when I saw her in this one I thought I know

the voice she's obviously older yeah I could

have sworn they did though I don't know Where

is that Let me see Goliath It's supposed to show

here it is I found that I found it. All right,

let's see Sean Southwick played by Rita Yeah,

she was in Sean Southwick Yeah, Sean Sean Southwick

played Rita. So she was in Night of the Phoenix.

Yeah Yeah, that's Lonnie Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You know, I knew I recognized her. Well, I recognize

the voice but at first we didn't get a name Until

you know until later on in the in that episode,

you know I will say that it's amazing stunt work

with the fight between Michael and Garth You

can hardly tell it's a stunt man when their faces

aren't being shown. Yeah I mean, it's so, I mean,

just looking at it, you know, 30 years on, it's

so clearly evident that when you're not seeing

Michael's face, that it's a stunt guy with a

wig or something, or you're not seeing Gar's

face, the same thing, it's a stunt guy. But the

way that they shot it and just, I absolutely

love the way that they shot it and the way that

it made it look like David Asselhoff was punching

himself. That was great. It was just absolutely

amazing episode. What do you got for scanners

on scanners on I like the continuity first of

all, I like that that that's the one thing that

I like is a continuity on this and We find out

that Michael has an evil twin I actually like

you know, I do like the fact that Michael makes

the laser to take out Goliath Yeah, that was

awesome. That was an awesome scene also when

they knock off the Trailer I think it's a trailer

at the back. It's one of the it's it's the weak

spot where they separate the cab from the trailer.

Yeah you know obviously Garth is still driving

and He makes a snake comment about that's it.

You know David says that's how snakes are You

know you cut off their head, but they still bite.

Yeah Technically I Get your point about you know,

Michael has an evil twin Technically it would

be Garth has a good twin seeing as how Garth

came first Yeah, but we didn't see him until

this right episode Yeah What else did you like

about this and now here's a question how the

hell do you beat three consecutive sentences

He probably just escaped. What I'm saying though

is that I can see where you get the Sambacuna

comment from, is how do you beat three consecutive

sentences, you're out, you build Goliath, you

get the formula for Kit's molecular bondage shell,

and I know this is supposed to be a scanner,

so it's more of a question. So how do you do

all this within a span of 20 to 30 minutes? Well,

as we've said, in -universe time is different

than what the viewer is. I think it was a combination

of things. It was probably Elizabeth bribed the

warden, and Sanbe Kuna helped him escape, or

Sanbe Kuna was there to help finance. Well, it

wouldn't even matter about finance because...

The fucking night family, but um, I don't know

that's that's a question. I can't answer I don't

know. I don't know just just something just an

observation But like us, you know good plot good

twist good turns good action Yeah, very very

awesome There you go. No. Yeah, it was very very

very awesome Even though they're stuntmen, you

know, we get to see David Hasselhoff punching

himself, which is kind of funny Yeah It is, so

we are gonna move on. I want him dead, both of

them. They know too much already. Now, Mother,

if it were up to you, half the world would be

dead already. All she knows is what I tell her.

All he knows is what she tells him. Dead end.

Riddle. Let him chase his tail. I was hoping.

Your brush with life imprisonment would teach

you something about discipline. Discipline has

never been a problem, mother dear. Mark my words,

Michael Knight will die. After all, he was designed

by my late great father to replace me, wasn't

he? How could I possibly tolerate his life on

this earth? Michael Knight? is a living, breathing

insult to my existence. Let's turn the scanners

off. You'd think that because we love this episode

so much, there wouldn't be anything that we can

say negative about it. I've got a couple of things.

I gotta write something for this section, right?

Well, the camera shutter sound effect, yeah yeah

yeah. In the very beginning when Ron is snooping

around, his camera, you would think that that

would be heard, the shutter sound effect, unless

it was just an effect meant for us, the audience.

however all cameras even nowadays have effects

letting people know that a picture has been taken

so you would think especially back in those days

with a camera as clunky as what he had you would

think that snapper sound would have been very

loud yeah and you would think oh wait who's out

there you know so they come in and they come

out and look you know as soon as Elizabeth Knight

opened her mouth I did not trust her you too

As soon as Elizabeth Knight opened her mouth,

I did not trust her. That's what I'm saying.

Yeah. Yeah. No way. Yeah. Michael, are you sure

this is the right way? The scene where they drive

right by the men on the mountaintop. Doesn't

kid have scanners to detect people? He detected

a gunman on the hill who shot Stevie and Whitebird.

What the hell? That might have been. Was that

the scene when they were going out of the desert?

that's right Didn't have his sensors going to

that Okay next The scene right after kit says

the odds that Goliath won't brutalize him again

the people in the car are not the actors This

is this pisses me off so much because of the

simple fact that it is It isn't a stunt shot

it isn't like it It is not at all. It's just

Kit driving in the desert. It's the scene where

Michael has already rigged up the ramjet, et

cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Clearly not David

Hasselhoff and Sean Southwick. What the fuck?

It's a fucking driving scene. I don't know about

the woman, because this woman in the shot just

looks. put the picture up on Twitter for you

so you can see it. But the woman, she just looks

all kinds of fugly. But I think the guy in the

car driving that's supposed to look like Michael.

David Hasselhoff? No, it's not. It's clearly

not David Hasselhoff. Right, but it's the stunt

guy? I think it might be Jack. What's his name,

the stunt guy? Jack Harris? Oh. I don't remember

if it was, I don't remember what his last name

was. Oh, that's George Barris. There's too many

people that have done this show, damn it. Yeah,

no, not George Barris. There was a guy named

Jack on the DVD set that went through and looked

at it. But I don't know. It was just one of those

things where it was like what the fuck it's a

it's a driving scene. It's not anything to where

You would need stunt people, you know, I don't

know so weird strange Pissed me off to What else

do I have Okay, why does this two -parter this

two -hour long premier, why does it end without

really tying any of the loose ends up? Like,

okay, sure, they, they, they tucked Elizabeth

and, and Sambay under the tent of, of the motorhome

and Michael and Garth fought again and they had,

you know, you know, they had that giant fight

and, you know, Michael ends up, you know, knocking

him out. But instead of going back to the foundation

and having kind of like a, you know, a a mission

briefing afterwards. Yeah. The episode just ends.

Yeah, it does. It doesn't tie anything up. Did

Elizabeth go to jail? Obviously, we know Garth

went to jail because of what will happen later

in this season. Right. But it just leaves you

hanging there, essentially off a cliff of like,

what the fuck is going on now? Did you have anything

that you didn't like about Goliath? Guess I guess

there's one of the nitpicks I had was When they

find You know the the poison scene where they

find one of the people dead Yeah, I didn't like

that scene Because then you see the next scene

you see after you after you see that as you see

Elizabeth talking and saying, I have the formula.

This was like two scenes after Devin had gotten

poisoned. Yeah. So this was after the fact. You

see Elizabeth saying, I have the formula. And

then you see the truck being built and somebody

arriving. And it's like, OK, what happened in

between then and this? Yeah. Well, what happened

was and I understand it's your nitpick and you're

right to that. But what happened was. The the

second guy or not well for whatever one of the

three one of the not Devon one of the other two

whoever I forget Dr. Albert or whatever his name

was She had already done that that was something

she had already done because she was there two

days prior right so she poisoned hit she went

there first With that guy and poisoned him first

or killed him, right? And then, it's kind of

a backwards thing. That's what I mean. It's backwards.

Right. We see her go to Devon first, but she

is actually poisoning him second because she

already poisoned the other guy. Right. Yeah,

it's a strange set of affairs, I guess. Strange.

That would really be it, I guess. It's just,

you know, it's just backwards in some scenes.

Up next is Brothers Keeper. Michael is planted

in a prison to break on an inmate Played by Gerald

Gordon wanted by a terrorist threatening to blow

up a city. Uh, basically this is your brother

versus brother episode or brother versus half

brother. Um, you know, the brother went to prison

and the other brother fell in love with the other

brother's girlfriend and blah, blah, blah, blah.

Eventually get married. The girl, the wife gets

killed. Yeah. But I really did like this one.

I thought it was really, really cool. I thought

it was really great. I have no qualms about the

plot at all. I thought the story flowed very

well, and I thought it was great. What about

you? Same thing. We didn't have any problems

of, OK, do we need to turn the channel or turn

the DVD off in this case? Very good storyline.

Yeah, it had some heartfelt moments But you know,

it was it was a very good storyline, so that's

all I don't have any qualms either about Get

how's our time we have precisely 19 hours 48

minutes and 12 seconds I Must say Michael this

adventure does have a certain appeal. Yeah See

what you mean think of it. We're fugitives of

a sort Desperado's on the lam. We must be extremely

careful. If we're captured we could end up on

a chain gang chain gang That's the 30s pal I'd

end up in the pen stamping license plates and

I've probably been making them out of pieces

of you They'd never take me alive. Let's uh,

let's turn the scanners on I love seeing Kit

driving himself out of the semi. I thought that

was a cool scene. I do too. It's neat. I mean,

even though we know that it's like someone's

under the seats or in the back seat that the

camera doesn't show. Right. I mean, Kit driving

himself anywhere is cool, but just seeing him

do it backing out of the semi, I thought that

was really cool. That was neat. Turbo boosting

into prison. Well, that's one way to get in and

out But kid didn't um, he almost didn't make

that jump on the way out though I was gonna say

I thought his his back wheel touched the fan.

Yeah kind of did That almost didn't make it through

there Well, this episode has all the makings

of a CIA or other governmental agency written

all over it. At first it does. I love kids' description

of their predicaments. It's just so awesome.

Auto -switching license plate from Knight to

K &I 667. Is that some sort of code? It's like,

I don't know what that's like. I don't understand

what that was for, but that was neat. Well, no,

the scene was. Right, because Michael was driving,

and you see Kit's license plate, which spells

light. Right, because they want to avoid the

law. Right. So when the cop pulls up behind them,

instead of seeing K &I GHT, he sees K &I 667.

Oh, no. It would have to be 668. I was going

to say it would have to be 668, but that wouldn't

work either. No, it wouldn't. I was trying to

figure out if the three letters. I was trying

to figure out if the numbers represented. I don't

think they represented anything. They were just

there. No, I know. But if you look at it, KNI,

GHT. So that's what I thought. At first, I thought

that the 667 was for GHT. Yeah. but it's it would

it would it would be uh... it would be four g

h four four eight yeah it would be four four

eight not six six seven so uh... i love the stunt

and jump michael does but seriously how is that

planned and how did they pull it off yeah because

usually they'll show them they'll show michael

you know sneaking around the back and saying

hey kit you know you you go do this, but Kit

just shows up, and then all of a sudden Michael's

on the roof of the building. I liked it. I thought

the jump itself was cool, but at the same time,

it's like, how the hell do they do that? 45 miles

in eight minutes. Yeah, that's no problem for

Kit. And I really laughed when Michael was like,

make sure you land easy. Land easy. We got a

bomb in the back. Yeah, I thought that was great.

What about you? What'd you like about this one?

I actually liked that Michael was able to get

Peter McCord to come around Yeah, I really did

because it meant a lot, you know, it actually

got Peter to think oh wait a minute I got something

to live for my daughter and You know not just

that but I can help save a city So, you know

I get to play a hero and Lisa's eyes and you

know, and so that was that was great for me and

also Like I said the heartfelt moments which

I'd already touched on so those were my but I

also liked the action as well Yeah, it was a

really good a good action episode. Very well.

I liked the also there was a scene I liked where

Michael goes and is talking to the half -brother

Eric right Eric Fenton and They're talking chess

which is kind of Which which kind of made me

laugh because when? Michael comes out, you know,

he's talking to Kit. And one of the things that

he says to Kit is, but he plays a mean game of

chess and kids like chess. You two play chess.

Yeah. So I like that. It was very, very Michael.

We're being pursued by the police. If we stop,

we will undoubtedly blow sky high. I hate to

do this to an officer in the law. I'm picking

up a roadblock directly ahead of us. You know

what to do. What's he talking about? What are

you gonna do? Watch a kid land easy. They got

a bomb in the back Let's uh, let's turn the scanners

off I honestly I have one epic, but I really

don't have any real for this point Yeah, I mean,

it was a very well written and solid episode.

The only nitpick that I can really think of is

they say that the bomb, like when Devin and April

are explaining it, they say that the bomb can

take out a city block, et cetera, et cetera,

et cetera. Yet when it explodes in the desert,

it doesn't look like a huge explosion that can

take out a city block. It just doesn't. No, it

looks smaller. Yeah, like it's designed to take

out one small area Yeah So that was my only nitpick

for this one. So yeah, I agree with you there

We are gonna move on to the next episode now

Cars don't talk this one does it talks and it

catches arms get me out of here And finally up

today we deal with the merchants of death There

is a thunder out of the blue when Michael and

kids square off against a futuristic attack helicopter

in the hands of mercenaries This is your standard

action, villain of the week episode. But very

well done. Yeah, it was very well done. Well

done. I really did enjoy it. It has the air of

mystery to it and it was really cool. What about

you? What'd you like about the overall plot?

Well, I've said this about Michael Knight and

his past. We get to dive into a little bit of

Devon's past this time around. Right. You know,

he explains about a woman that he loved and he

lost yeah, and so, you know because obviously

their original assignment was supposed to take

them to California and Obviously Devon says California

can wait and it's like this is personal. Yeah,

this one's personal This one is for me. And so

I liked the plot. I also liked the motorcycle

scenes Yeah, I like those two funny but overall

a very well -written story Like you said, a villain

of the week type thing. You don't have to turn

your DVD off. Yeah. No, I mean, this episode

isn't bad at all. I mean, this episode is very

well done and very well written. It has good

continuity to it. Yeah, but it will. Yeah, because

it's this should have been, you know, this is

a better version of. What's that stupid... This

is a better version of daily maneuvers. Yeah.

It is honestly what it is. Thanks to the Foundation,

that's our next stop. Devin! Michael, I have

an urgent matter for you to deal with in Phoenix.

Phoenix? The new assignment's in California,

son! Surf! California can wait. Alright, what's

up? A woman named Amelia Clermont has disappeared.

Her daughter, Kamala, will fill you in. I've

put her on the Foundation jet. She will meet

you in Phoenix. Michael, this one is personal.

This one is for me. I hear you, Devin. So let's

turn the scanners on. And we pretty much already

said my first note, this one's personal. Yep.

Michael running into the local riff -raff again.

The bikers. Yes. Help! It's got my arm! Cards

don't talk. This one does! It's got my arm! Mr.

You got problems. I love it when that's great

when they try was trying to mess with this tire

Yeah, and then he looks you know, he open, you

know, he pops the scanner And you see just sit

you see David sitting there. How's my problem?

How's my big problem, bro? You know, that was

great We we actually see the ski mode button

this episode we do the first time we saw that

And as you said, it's nice. Didn't we see it

in season one, or was the ski mode just activated?

It wasn't. Ski mode was just, mainly it happened

in Slammin Shammy's stunt show Spectacular. He

just did it automatically. It wasn't. There wasn't.

Yeah. Yeah, there was no actual button here.

The button finally makes its appearance. And

as you said, it's kind of nice seeing more of

Devon's back story. I really did enjoy that.

Kit activated the tank. That is so awesome. Yeah,

that was neat. Hey, there's no one driving the

tank! And those bikers are too funny. He's like,

screw this, man. I'm done messing with that car.

So funny. What about you? What do you like about

this one? I like the fact that Michael introduces

Kit to Kamala. And they're both speaking French,

which is funny. And then Kit's like, I've tried

to interest Michael in the romance languages,

but he prefers things like girls in bikinis and

cheeseburgers and rock and roll. All right, Kit,

that'll do. And then the other scene I like,

well, it's in the same scene, but the other part

of that I liked was, are you hungry? I hadn't

thought about it. Why? I make a dynamite cheeseburger.

And they both laugh. So that was that was neat.

That was kind of it. And that was obviously,

too, when we saw the bikers at firsthand. Right.

Yeah, that was kind of cool. That was that was

a funny moment for me. And I also. I think. Kind

of I also liked the fact that. Kamala was opening

up a little bit so that they could get the background

on her mother before. Right. Yeah. So that was

good continuity as well there. Now, was this

more of a question? Sure. Was this was it the

exact same actress for playing Kamala and her

mother? You know, I don't know. Because they

have that whole scene of they look just alike.

They look just alike. And then they dress her

up to look like her mother. And she looks just

like the actress that played her mother. Yes.

And then you see Kamala. Yeah. Yeah. I don't

know. That's a very good question. Because her

mother never had any speaking parts. Yeah. So

that's a very good question. So let's turn the

scanners off. Again, I really, outside of Goliath,

obviously, because we both love Goliath. But

again, this week's podcast doesn't have a whole

lot of stuff that. We can rage on because these

through these episodes are all very very well

done. They are I do I do have two things Something

I wouldn't normally comment on if I hadn't watched

like the last four years of HGTV, but that is

such an 80s kitchen Oh my god, what the fuck

were designers thinking in the 80s? That's right

That kitchen is so yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, cuz

it was kind of the kind of the dingy type Yeah,

kind of the dingy type kitchen and whatnot. And

thus the plot thins. I really can't stand the

buildup to a great plot. And then when the douchebag

villain is revealed, it gets so lame, because

it's revealed that it's the congressman or the

congressman's aide and whatever else. Yeah, it's

the congressman. Yeah, is in league with the

other guy. Right. And it's like, really, that's

the whole deal here. Oh, corrupt government again.

Yes, to hell with corrupt government. God damn

it. What did you have anything you didn't like

about this one? Like I said, kind of we we figure

out that it's the congressman. Why didn't we

why didn't we see some kind of connection beforehand?

But I guess that would really be it. I kind of

find it also interesting that this congressman

has this smug look on his face like, you know,

even though Devin is talking to him, but you

see the congressman there with the smug look

on his face like, you'll never figure it out.

Good luck. It's like, you know, we know what

we're doing. We're going to try to cover our

backsides, but eventually the foundation finds

out. You know, good luck on that. Yeah, exactly.

There you go. We are gonna take a quick break.

You're gonna hear some Knight Rider quotes and

all that stuff from the episodes today, and we're

gonna hear some other ads, and we'll come back

to close the show after this. It wasn't a fair

fight, April. It was like putting Sugar Ray in

the ring with an overgrown heavyweight. I'm sure

it was, kid. It won't happen again, I can assure

you of that. Well, it better not. We've got to

patch together with scotch tape and bailing wire

as it is. If I ever see that snout -nosed ignoramus

again... You better hope he's heading in the

opposite direction. I'm already reviewing my

computer logs of our confrontation. In a matter

of hours, I'll know everything there is to know

about that banana -headed bovine. You tell him,

All right. How do we think season two has started

off so far? It's great for Goliath. That was

a good season two opener and I'm actually glad

it was done that way. Brothers Keeper was very

good and also Merchants of Death So we've had

three action -packed well one two three four

if you want to call it that yeah action -packed

filled episodes Even though one is a two -parter

You know I Think to you know the rest of season

two will have to see how well it plays out We've

got four good ones so far. You know we'll have

to just see how the rest of it plays out And

I'm sure we'll mention all of it Oh, yes. So

what do you rank Goliath? As if I didn't already

know. Five? Yeah. Same here. Five kits. What

about Brother's Keeper? You know, I actually

have to give that one a five. I'm going to give

it a four. Really? Yeah. I liked it, but there

was just a couple of little things that just

kind of didn't make me absolutely all the way

love it. What about Merchants of Death? Ooh.

I have to give this one a five as well. Really?

I give it a three. That plot reveal was so, like...

Well, okay, five, okay. Let me do it this way.

Five on the plot and the fact that it was written

really well. Okay. But three on the twist. Okay.

Because of the fact of the congressman, you know,

not so much the congressman, but just... You

know It's it's such a weird plot twist Yeah,

so it's five five for the for its well For five

for being well written and three for the twist.

crime has come to an end. Well, now that makes

two of us. What's the matter? Are we living in

the fast lane, pal? No, it's simply that my research

indicates that not one vehicle or steed of a

its owner. Nor did they share in any of the criminal

profits. It's quite clear. Crime doesn't pay.

Kid, that APB's off now, right? That's correct,
