 Okay, ready? Hey, come on. Oh Hey guys, this is my review. Oh That's a hot mug guys. Hey guys, this is my review for Supernatural season 2 episode 8 Crossroad Blues, I got Aero here. This is my girlfriend's dog and She's been here basically on my lap ever since I came over here to visit her. I as well have her in the review Crossroad Blues is one of the most important if not the most important episode of this entire season in terms of lore in terms of the show If you were ever to give someone kind of like a random episode just to watch one that sort of established the show Established the characters established the lore and everything that was going to happen further on Crossroad Blues is pretty much one of them season one had a lot of decent episodes here and there but really crossroads blues is The key Supernatural episode for anyone who's either new or well-versed with the show the episode focuses on the idea of Demons and deals Essentially the arc of what would happen with the rest of the core five seasons I enjoy this episode immensely for its lore to its kind of Touching on historical figures like Robert Johnson as well as the back-and-forth with Dean and his choice about what to do Considering his father made the same deal for him to save his life with the yellow eyes Dean finally comes to terms with what his father did for him for what his sacrifice was and it's eating him the whole time Well, the while they're trying to save these other people who at first he sees as People who just sold their soul for personal gain But then he sees that this one guy saved his wife like sold his soul to save his wife And he realizes that is exactly what his dad does and he kind of acts out about it Otherwise, I enjoy this episode also for his horror elements It's not really mentioned or done again later on the show and it's later season people when their time is coming They start seeing other people like ghouls and those effects still hang still do pretty well and the hellhounds are still horrifying I remember watching this episode when it aired and then watching it over and over and over and over and over again And I've always been pretty scared of the hellhounds. I think that the use of invisible dogs is how they shot It was really well done when they do do the effects with the claws on the ground. That's really well done as well This episode actually has two little special trivia things Vincent Gale. He's Evan Hudson the guy They're trying to save at the end of the episode He actually has been in the show two more times after this as recent as 20 2017 Don't ask me to say what his character was but again kind of going back with who I mentioned in the last episode And this episode was actually directed by Steve Boyam Steve Boyam started in stunts back in the 70s And he's gone on direct a few movies more so TV shows He directed a bunch of really horrible Disney movies at first and then he started to get into TV shows And he did this one he's actually been directing for Supernatural for some years He does a fantastic job with this episode for an episode that's not shot by Kim matters It's a pretty well crafted episode. It's a really well shot episode. It's got great horror elements Some good jokes, but this is a very dark episode in terms of its content So in the end I'm gonna get cross road blues a seven out of seven. I'm actually surprised I gave one this early I knew this episode was good But I didn't remember how good it was until just rewatching it because all the times I've rewatched this episode that Room that Evan Hudson's in I could tell you almost every detail of it the how many times I've watched the ending of this episode So now let's take a look at what you guys had to say about this episode. I imagine you guys have a lot of comments All right Our first one here is from cut by Ray cross road blues is great Love when they take a historical moment and put a supernatural twist on it The whole idea of great artists being great because of their deals great moment when Dean realizes dad made a deal for him Introduced to the hellhounds lots of good stuff got another one here from Rob Hanna loved cross road blues great episode It seems like Kripke likes this story as well because he used it again in timeless great show and great episode too And you'll probably make it fit somewhere in season two of the boys I love how they introduce the cross road deals which become a complete farce in ladder seasons Yes, that's true, but it was fun to watch how scary a cross road deal was and getting ripped shreds by a hellhound This one's from Tom admittedly This is a pretty good one is there a more important episode in the entire series in cross road blues I say no this canonized demon deals amongst other key lore for the rest of the series The revelation that John was in hell to save Dean was huge damn now We're moving on to crow a toan being the next episode It's kind of odd at the end of this episode least for the DVD It actually says soon and it gives a little bit of a preview What's gonna happen not only with the crow a toan episode with the episode afterwards? So this episode was supposed to be the midseason finale Well, it acts like it's a midseason finale, but it's not pro tone is the midseason finale kind of odd I don't know it's a little strange. Anyways, give me your guys's thoughts and comments on crow a toan And I'll make sure to talk about those in the next review anyways Hope you guys enjoyed this video your overseas bye-bye, and we'll see you guys next time Thanks for watching the video My name is Nits and you might remember me from the animated cult classic TV show undergrads It's been a while, but I'm happy to say the click is finally getting back together in an all-new movie Thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign But we are still asking for your support to see any and all updates about the upcoming undergrads movie Be sure to check out and like the bring back undergrads Facebook page and with any luck.
