What’s the overall reaction to the Euphoria finale and why does it matter?
This is an ABC podcast.
Okay, we need to talk about the Euphoria finale.
I know, it was
last
night. Holy
shit. Okay, obviously, if you've clicked on this podcast, spoilers constantly
throughout this episode. Yeah. Tune out now if you haven't seen it already, okay? How are we feeling, Pip? Oh, dude, it was just such a long time coming, this whole wrap up. It feels like this season is gone for a whole year and I'm feeling a little lackluster, maybe. I feel like the first half of the episode, I was laugh out loud there in the moment, loved it. I laughed so
many times at the start. Yeah.
And then
all
of a sudden... see ya
ashtray in
what
world
and then you know rue basically having her walking off into the sunset moment of like and it all was well i was like what do you mean how did we get from here to here to here to here to here mate you were grieving for like the past three episodes and suddenly you and jules are cool and then you uh stayed clean for the rest of the summer which obviously by the way was a time jump don't know if you noticed that
Yeah, I also noticed that we wasted, wasted four minutes with Elliot playing a song.
I know, I love Dominic Fyke, but I was ready. Like, I was like, wrap it up, Dom, wrap it up. 30 seconds in, I was like, I'm done.
That was four minutes that we could have spent finding out what the hell is, like, Vape Girl's life story. I know. Or, like, what happened between Maddie and Cassie when they went off and, like, you know, had a bit of a...
Yeah, maybe a little bit more about Rue's little sister Gia or Ali and her mum. I mean. Laurie, the secret locked door. What happened to Laurie? What happened to Fez after he was shot? Why wasn't Laurie chasing Rue down? She owes her like thousands and thousands of dollars. And it's just like, oh, bye. See you, plot line. I don't know what Sam Levinson was thinking, but my God, he's got us hooked.
It was, I have to say, it was a good episode. I'm pretty happy with it. I'm obviously devastated about Ashtray and Fez.
How do the hosts break down the show’s cultural impact on sex, drugs and toxic relationships?
But I feel like for a finale, it was pretty good.
It did wrap up a few things, but still, there's a lot to be said. It doesn't really matter how you feel about this show. I think it's undeniably one of the biggest shows that we've had in the last five years for young people, I would say. It's the most
talked about show on Twitter in the past 10 years. And if you've never watched it before, you've definitely heard about it. But just a real quick catch up for you. It's basically about a bunch of teenagers in high school and how they navigate things like drug addiction, sex, dating, relationships. Rue is the main character of the show that's played by Zendaya and... Yeah, she's suffering from addiction. Her partner is Jules and how they kind of navigate their relationship, dealing with her drug use. And there's also a bunch of other characters like Cassie, Maddie, best friends, Lexi's the sister. So much to unpack with all of them. This episode will get deep into some of the key themes of the show, which I still think if you haven't seen it, there's so much to learn.
So stick around for that. We know that it's something that Hookup listeners are watching. 71% of you on our Instagram said that you were so excited for the finale and that you're a huge fan of Euphoria. So we couldn't ignore it. No. We can't not talk about
it. Absolutely
not. Also, I'm pretty sure it's obvious that Pip and I are huge fans
of the show.
You know who else is a fan of Euphoria, Pip? Who? One of our besties of the show, sex coach Georgia Grace.
Yeah, the slap. Oh, my God. It's so funny.
And then the girl with the vape, the vape girl. We need to know more about vape girl. Yeah, we actually spoke for like 10 minutes just kind of debriefing and chatting out the final episode.
Hey, Pip here, just jumping in while I'm editing this podcast. Literally 10 minutes of Georgia and Dee talking about the finale. That's what you're hearing right now, sped up. Anyway, back to the pod.
