      The most amazing part is watching Matt’s face the whole time because he knows who Deni$e is - and the only time he breaks is when Aimee insists that Dariax has only bad jokes and you can almost see him think in his head “oh, too real”

    When they told Aimee what do to for narrative telephone:
    What they said: Make a story for people to try to remember and repeat. Make it as hard as you want.
    What Aimee heard: Make an audition tape for a serious role.

      That was always my headcanon. In the Exandria-based games I've run, Marion's core character (good mom, superb entertainer, best lay ever) is still intact, but I added one additional element: someone with such interactions with the Menagerie Coast's upper crust (and those vacationing from the Empire or the Clovis Concord) would be a hell of a sharp cookie and a conversationalist, and by extension, she would be the most well-connected woman on the Coast. Well-connected enough that even if it weren't for the Gentleman or her daughter and her friends, anyone who'd threaten her would have to think twice before trying to mistreat or demean her.

The details and how fluidly she says them is evil, the absurd throwaway lines like the "stubby" thing is hilarious, and the whole thing being an unexpected former lover of Dariax who he just forgot about and left hanging feels like it could be 100 % canon and I wouldn't be surprised.

    This is like a whole story itself. Aimee’s was Denise’s plan what she wanted to say, like when you rehearse it in your head. Anjali her actual first attempt that obviously was still fine, but she was like, ‘shit, this was terrible, I screwed it all up, I need a drink’.
    Matt to Ashley her subsequent more and more drunk attempts to actually record it because she didn’t nail it at the first time and lost confidence. Liam her first try the next morning with a splitting hangover. Robbie her next attempt when the hangover subsided. And Aabria when Denise was like, ‘ok fuck it, this is it, it’s fine, gonna leave it at that and get this behind me’.

    Usually I understand why the third person is where the story goes off the rails. Usually the second person gets a lot right but misses details, and there are little flubs that get magnified. But Anjali absolutely _killed_ it, so what's up Matt?

    • @zane4218
      @zane4218 Před 2 lety +54

      The second person also slows the performance down a lot I think, which doesn’t hurt the performance but makes it harder for person 3 to remember. I think that was the case here too.
      Definitely was a wonderful 2nd performance though! And Matt is usually the most reliable one lol I was surprised too!

    Being the second person is such a clutch position. The team gets one and only one chance to see the original, and that is only the person who comes up second. That performance will make or break what follows.
    That was just shocking how well Anjali did on this! Her version of Deni$e was completely terrifying and so well delivered! We all praised Travis for his near-perfect recall in the first two seasons, being able to follow almost anyone and keep 95% of the content. Anjali not only kept the story intact, but maintained the voice, the attitude, the tempo and delivery, everything. The only bits she lost were inconsequential like names of a couple taverns or tossed out character names.

I saw that it was not easy, I noticed in your small comments about not combing your hair anymore (Sam said that in some episode) or Taliesin wanting to leave the house and not being able to stand the lockdown anymore.
    Yes, I went through that too. BUT on the other hand, I am glad to know that we all went through it and are here today.
