Nellie Bly is also a story that closely resembles Lana except she was straight & I do believe well off/wealthy I dunno if that's what you're talking abt. Rlly captivating story there's a park n many other things named after her.
The best part about this recap is the reminder every like five to ten minutes that there's aliens in this. Got all this crazy stuff happening at the asylum meanwhile aliens are just chilling out abducting people.
update; i watched the double feature season.............. second half; jail. (LMFAOOOO i LOVED this season tho the acting was genuinely good and the writing was pretty good... cinematography is always great, im not really surprised abt that)
Cain you are SLAYING these AHS recaps! I can't wait for coven cause you're gonna mother so hard I can feel it, in the words of mike's mic, "hmmm the flavorrrsss"
I’m very excited for coven because it’s my favourite season. Also Ryan Murphy needs to pay for his crimes against humanity aka all the r-wording. The Girls (capital T, capital G) don’t deserve that.
@@cainvarner him consistently falling back on r wording literally every season is what made me stop watching like can this man pick a new plot point pls 🥱
so true, coven will always be my fav. ryan murphys a freak though for putting that in his tv shows, shits mad triggering, i had to stop watching because at one point it was just, filth. like bad disgusting filth 😭
It seems like they wanted to do an alien abduction season but couldn’t come up with enough for 10 episodes so they just squished it into this one. It’s such an afterthought. And then we never hear about those half alien kids again.
I actually like the unexplained aliens in this season. I love when sci-fi horror doesn't explain things where the characters have no reasonable way of finding out what's going on, a ND it adds to the delirium of this season.
✨Crusty, Crusty, bo Busty, Banana-fana fo Fusty, Me-my-mo Musty, Crusty!✨ You saying crusty gets me everytime, another gread vid, looks like imma binge watch all of them today 😂
Couldn’t hit the subscribe button fast enough! I’m a huuuuuge fan of Jenny Nicholson and Mike’s Mic’s and their breakdowns and I’ve been wishing for an AHS breakdown in a similar fashion for so long so this is just perfect! Have yet to watch the latest one but loving them so far and I think it’s adorable that you’ve included some Mike-isms as an homage! Can’t wait to watch your channel grow and just get better and better and I’ll see you here for Freak Show!!
hahah it’s part homage and part i’ve watched his videos for years so i just randomly break out into the accent and the cadence at times during conversation 😭
I appreciate these videos so much, my girlfriend can't handle horror, so I can't really find time to watch whole seasons, and r-word scenes really get to me as a SA survivor. Thanks so much for these ❤
Asylum is absolutely iconic, but some elements make it hard to come back to. Like the Anne Frank plot felt a bit insensitive, using imagery from the holicaust for your spooky campy show just feels gross to me. And by the time we get to the end, everything feels so bleak that its hard to watch. Watching sister Jude whither away in the last few episodes just isnt fun to watch. Lily Rabe is absolutely iconic and terrifying this season, i could watch her being evil all day. Omg the weird alien subplot and the asylum mutant subplots bug me so much. Theres enough going on this season, we dont need that
I have a theory that Ryan Murphy is a serious genius, he’s just held back by his compulsion to include content reflective of his weird fetishes and his views of minorities
I thought the same thing with the heavy Columbine references and recreation in murder house. felt very insensitive and crass. still love the show but it has some weird moments
If it helps, I have seen discussions around the Anne Frank topic and the general consensus by Jewish people in these conversations tends to be that they don't find it harmful and aren't bothered. However, I am not a Jewish person, so I can't weigh in personally. Take this with a grain of salt, as just because someone says that they saw the group in question being okay with it does not mean much.
@asryel2878 I’m Jewish and I gotta be real, I kind of hate it. Having an abusive doctor at an asylum in America post-war be a Nazi isn’t bad, but the inclusion of a real dead girl (who seems to be the only person any gentile ever cares about wrt the holocaust but I digress) and inserting words into her mouth and cheapening the tragedy of her real death by extending her life and then shoving her into an oooo spoooky asylum with aliens and monsters is not chill.
oh my god cain you are literally so correct, there was too much r wording ocurring in this season -- i have a theory that they got backlash for it and that's why coven is so girlboss
That's what sucks tho is coven has a lot too, honestly one of the biggest things with ahs is every season just ups the shock factor elements and it really sucks. This season has some of the worst r word scenes but what happens in Coven to both Madison and especially Queenie like messed me up. I'd say out of the first five seasons, Lana and Queenie's traumatic experiences haunt me the most
lana, queenie and for me especially the one in NYC with the random guy that died. i’m so glad they rarely do it anymore but like in early seasons it felt like every other ep 😭
It’s called American Horror Story…and can we stop with the “r word” nonsense? When you deal in stories of serial killers, blood, guts, mutilation etc I think we can all use the real word of a horrific act. Most serial murders end up having the sexual undertones so the rape scenes are about the most realistic parts of the show.
@@TravisShehorn you're right-- it is quite realistic to what serial killers are and we are already dealing with stories of literal mutilation and murder, but I think you're missing my point. there are like 7 individual scenes depicting graphic sexual violence in this one season that I could list off the top of my head. I get it, it's horror and rape is fucking horrifying but personally I think there comes a point where we aren't making interesting and provocative horror but we're doing torture porn to exploit shock value-- I call that shitty writing
Best season of AHS. Lily Rabe as Sister Mary Eunice is the best villian of every seaon of AHS. Lana and Kit just amazing. How can you go wrong with those three. Francis Conroy could've had a bigger role but that is the only problem I have with this season. Sister Jude is my favourite Jessica Lange character
1:07:42 Lana got what she wanted and let everybody else hang. “A little selfish” is a bit of an understatement. Also, I actually love Sr Jude’s redemption arc. It’s really touching to see Kit take care of her
Once again you slayed and opened my eyes with this recap, I never realized what an icon Lana is but she really absolutely kicks life's ass in this season and gets what she deserves by the end and everyone who threatened her got what their fuckin come uppance like what a queen. But yeah Kit has to be my favorite Evan Peters character in all of AHS (closely followed by him as Jimmy in Freak Show) like he's such a sweetheart he truly is the only man who isn't fucking deplorable lmao
I don't care about AHS, but I extremely care about summaries and analog props. It's really fun to see your printed boards! Thank you for explaining to me stuff I know nothing about!
Wow! the progression from the last video to this is ICONIC. The audio and video quality is so improved (and the last video was great already!). Its giving future famous youtube star! P.S. can we get a ranking video where you rank all the AHS seasons?
How am I so lucky to randomly get the first season and literally right after be able to watch the recap of season 2! Love these type of videos and you did a great job!
Wow, just stellar quality. I saw this video and your Murder House video before I realized you don't have millions of subs. Commenting at 1k so I can say I was here before you blew up!
awww that’s so sweet! i literally am blowing up as we speak. so exciting! i have big things planned for this channel. i’ve always wanted to do this and it’s so amazing to see people connect with it
To make the connections between characters, if you still wanted to do so, you could use push pins or stickers and give each character a color and put that color square or something on the picture. You then can just put their color of that pin or sticker on the other pictures to show a connection between them. This can make it still look nice and clean but still shows the connection for you.
Gosh, I can't believe this came out so long ago already I remember remember when this was the most watched show on cable around Halloween time everybody loved it
This is so iconic! Watching this series is a nostalgia blast, I can thank you enough for the your service to the community btw i dont know if you implied, but I always interpreted in the coat hanger ep, that Lana succeed in the unaliving of the baby, but the devil brought it (him?) back to live edit: why the devil kinda slayed in the administration department? damn, she and judy created the name game
I loved this video! Also, I think it'd be really helpful to the viewers if you could put a red X or something in the corner of a characters picture once they die :-)
A day later and it's almost 10k It's definitely getting boosted and reaching audiences like me and many others who've never watched your videos before. Congrats!
Looking forward to the Hotel recap!!! Lady Gaga slayed and I would let the crusty dusty man that is James Patrick March give me a respectful kiss on the hand
As someone who is on episode 5 and JUST CANNOT TAKE THIS GARBAGE ANY LONGER, you have no idea how much I appreciate you. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for explaining this mess so I can move on with my life and suffer no more. 🙏❤
I love that Lana is sort of based on a real person, a reporter who went to do a story on an asylum and ended up stuck there for a while.
Yeah a lot of characters in AHS are based on real people.
Geraldo Rivera is the reporter that went to a state run asylum and filmed the horrible conditions…the name of the place is Willowbrook.
Stuck as in trapped? Or like committed lol
Nellie Bly is also a story that closely resembles Lana except she was straight & I do believe well off/wealthy I dunno if that's what you're talking abt. Rlly captivating story there's a park n many other things named after her.

The best part about this recap is the reminder every like five to ten minutes that there's aliens in this. Got all this crazy stuff happening at the asylum meanwhile aliens are just chilling out abducting people.
When you gotta abduct you gotta abduct. Then watch as you create special children
the anne frank storyline was insane
Ugh I forgot how iconic lily rabe was in this role. She ate the whole plate and shart it out and ate it again.
EXACTLY
She was! Almost on Jessica's level
The holiest of sharts 🙏🏼
Gays can never just say they like something 😭
@@nm9688 but where’s the pizzazz in that?
it just feels like someone making the show has some kind of forced pregnancy fetish 😭 i feel like its happened SO many times in this show
ryan murphy just has no idea what else to do
update; i watched the double feature season.............. second half; jail. (LMFAOOOO i LOVED this season tho the acting was genuinely good and the writing was pretty good... cinematography is always great, im not really surprised abt that)
The use of pregnancy as like a shock trope in the series is why I've been so hesitant to watch the newest season.
I don't get it!! We keep going back to babies, Delicate... Don't get me started. 🤬
There’s such a focus on reproductive horror specifically. Miscarriages, forced pregnancy, unknown parentage. It’s such a huge threwline
Cain you are SLAYING these AHS recaps! I can't wait for coven cause you're gonna mother so hard I can feel it, in the words of mike's mic, "hmmm the flavorrrsss"
I’m very excited for coven because it’s my favourite season. Also Ryan Murphy needs to pay for his crimes against humanity aka all the r-wording. The Girls (capital T, capital G) don’t deserve that.
absolutely not
@@cainvarner him consistently falling back on r wording literally every season is what made me stop watching like can this man pick a new plot point pls 🥱
@augustwilson9633 thankfully, after 1984 there isn’t any besides NYC but i don’t think it’s been a thing for a while
@@cainvarnerI’m very happy to hear that 🫶 Ryan Murphy will still never seen heaven tho imo
so true, coven will always be my fav. ryan murphys a freak though for putting that in his tv shows, shits mad triggering, i had to stop watching because at one point it was just, filth. like bad disgusting filth 😭
the alien storyline is still so confusing for me
It seems like they wanted to do an alien abduction season but couldn’t come up with enough for 10 episodes so they just squished it into this one. It’s such an afterthought. And then we never hear about those half alien kids again.
i feel like it makes more sense now that they made ahs double feature
@@alissadenaeI genuinely wish double feature got a bit more, but I understand why they couldnt
same like i watched it to the ending and still no explanation on why there's aliens or where they came from😭
Yeah it felt so out of left field lol
When dr Arden offed himself by burning himself alive was the only time he ate
I actually like the unexplained aliens in this season. I love when sci-fi horror doesn't explain things where the characters have no reasonable way of finding out what's going on, a ND it adds to the delirium of this season.
If Dr. Arden doesn't get certified crust, he absolutely should by the time he's a minor character in Freak Show
he’s worse than a crust
Absolute MISS by not adding in the “HELLLLLP! HE’S ESCAPING” audio
✨Crusty, Crusty, bo Busty,

You saying crusty gets me everytime, another gread vid, looks like imma binge watch all of them today 😂
As an Asylum supremacist who has a thesis to finish, this video could not have come across me at a better time.
omg thank you 😭😭😭 i am the same. asylum i don’t think will be topped.
absolutely incredible timing on this bc i JUST finished the other one omg
Yes! I’ve been working on this season for about 3 weeks so I hope you enjoy!!
Saaaame

I’m a huuuuuge fan of Jenny Nicholson and Mike’s Mic’s and their breakdowns and I’ve been wishing for an AHS breakdown in a similar fashion for so long so this is just perfect!

Tis a Crust among us…..
The first time you call out a crust in each video ALWAYS hits the very best😂

omg ppl who aren´t watching your videos are missing out! best recaps of ahs everrrrrrrr (sending love from brazil
awww this is so sweet
i feel like i'm always fighting for my life defending this season but it is a goddamn BANGER 10/10 breakdown
How am I so lucky to randomly get the first season and literally right after be able to watch the recap of season 2! Love these type of videos and you did a great job!
obsessed with this series my new comfort watch
This is the first AHS season I saw
9 Mossy Banks out of 10, almost perfect
not mossy bank😭😭😭
The rage I feel towards Oliver every single time…
I love that all your boards look like the big playbill signs you see at a stage production ❤
"your man fell in love with someone else while you were up in the sky. deal with it" is such an iconic sentence❤️
so happy to see this! you've improved so much since your recap from season one! love how we can see much more of your personality shine!! great work ❤
i definitely got more comfy in front of a camera lol
I'm OBSESSED with these recaps. Binging all your content
thank you 😭.
I've never seen a season of AHS but I am loving your videos. Well done! I look forward to the other seasons. 😊
obsessed with your random accent changes LMFAO 😭

I just rewatched season 1 of AHS bc of ur summary for Murder house. After I finish this I’m gonna rewatch Asylum 😛 LOVE ur content
Living for this series
I love this series and your recaps are amazing ❤I hope you do all of AHS!!! Keep up the great work

pls keep this series up youre doing a great job
"what was with the canes" welcome to the world of nuns. They go in hard with hitting people with canes especially in the 60s lol

so glad I stumbled upon your channel this is an iconic series
thank you bestie
As someone who has never watched AHS or even considered watching it…I’m INVESTED in this series!❤️ Keep up the wonderful work!😊❤️
WOOO! My brother and I are binging both videos tonight!!
I just discovered your channel! I love it! I look forward to seeing you cover more seasons of AHS and other series.
I swear I love these kind of videos✨
They really gave the evil German scientist the name of the villain in Die Hard? That's diabolical on too many levels.
RUclips recommended you now I'm binge watching all the recaps lol
These are fantastic. You’re on the up my friend! Can’t wait for Freakshow!
Liking just for the intro name plate, *chef's kiss*
Lmao the school project style is so effing funny I love it
I’m sorry I laughed so hard I hurt my neck when you said “…in the posterior, perhaps”.
You're a legend, an icon. You are the moment.
season takeaway: evan peters is hot in restraints
I love you so much for these
This is so iconic! Watching this series is a nostalgia blast, I can thank you enough for the your service to the community

Great job! Also a great season of AHS!
So well done. Thank you.
Yes!! look out for Coven this weekend!
i love watching these, you absolutely slayed!!
I just came across your page from the M house video and I love you already 😂
