LOVECRAFT COUNTRY Episode 5 Breakdown, Theories, and Details You Missed!

[@ThinkStory]

I also realized my Canadian accent is so bad when I say the word potion around 1:09 🧪🍁😂

[@MoonSpeaksTV]

Can’t believe you didn’t catch that Cabrini Green was the same housing project from CandyMan ❤️

[@everlastingdooms]

I'm Canadian so I don't hear anything wrong with it but I'm told you said it weird XD

[@Toni1193]

Think Story as a Chicagoan I must say that, while I love your reviews, it irks me quite a bit when you say Marshall’s. It is Marshall Field’s, a famous department store in Chicago (it was bought by Macy’s, but everyone in Chicago still calls it Marshall Field’s).

[@MADKIDD623BHN]

Maybe William is Christina's ex...and she will avenge him as well as climb the ladder.... 2..all 5 times get easier for Ruby to shed skin/molt... 3..playing the 'white washed' version of Little Richard's 'Tootie Fruity' backroom at store scene..

[@ms.miwitdatbul520]

William and Hilary are in the basement. How else can she keep getting the blood. I wonder what the real William is like.

[@marcusjoe3618]

Hopefully any racial criticism you received was constructive. Personally, as a black man, I wholly appreciate the effort you take to educate both yourself and your viewers. Extra kudos that you're Canadian!!! All the more reason to love your channel. Keep up the great work!

Thanks. The vast majority of comments I've had were very constructive.

[@lavahot518]

I’m Black and you do a great job explaining this show! You never Offended me! Keep up the great work ❤️

[@brettthebest3978]

I bet there was more white people that was more “offended” by think story than black people because black people a list once actually has been effected by racism, white people haven’t and so when they hear anything that is little bit racially incorrect they immediately say his racist

[@borgcolect]

@@brettthebest3978 As a white person, I have actually learned quite a lot of history from TS's breakdowns of this and Watchmen. Even being from a blue state with good education, I was unaware of the Tulsa riots, and while I knew of segregation and the general details, TS gives some nice deeper dives to how it's depicted here. You are correct though, in that a lot of those with privilege don't realize they have it, or how it affects them, and try to say pointing it out is racist (because god forbid someone tell you you're being an ass, that means they are an ass right?!?!)

This show is excellently done & I'm looking forward to the book. Between this, Jordan Peele's more recent work with Get Out and the new Twilight Zone, and Ari Aster films, I'm actually getting into horror now, too.

[@Buckeye2Orange]

[@hollyvanwye4438]

I love the show and the far-reaching tentacles of Cthulhu Mythos that Lovecraft created. I'm a big fan of his fiction but NOT of his racism and his delusional thinking. Is it possible to separate the man Lovecraft from what Lovecraft wrote? Absolutely yes, it is. The stuff he wrote was creepy and imaginative and unsettling and altogether original. Much of the modern horror we have today draws upon the Lovecraft legacy.

I just adore the butterfly scene with William and Ruby .. even through it was christina instead of William..

[@redraven_y2k]

To me this episode was a Easter egg in itself. The title "strange case" is a nod to another story about a man who takes a potion and becomes someone completely different and dark Yes, the strange case of dr.jekyll and mr.hyde! Ruby like Dr. Jekyll takes a potion and then she ends up being different (a white woman)but then just like Mr. Hyde, she turns very dark in the end. I love this frickin show!

[@nicolefisher4779]

Yup! In the book, after Ruby starts experiencing life as a white woman, she asks her sister and friends a lot of questions about the book.

[@afrolovely]

Been waiting on you... Thanks for the upload! .....aaaand the humility.

[@TheMrpoet]

Loved it. This episode dove into some deep shit, Got me thinking about what if. There is a book called, " Black Like Me" where a white man pretended to be black, another book written by Robert Beck called, Trick Baby, about a light-skinned black man who could pass as white and how he was treated in the hood. The drag queen scene also played into this episode's theme of metamorphosis, men taking on the persona as women. Our human experience is fluid. When we dress up our sense of self changes, we become different, because we feel different.

[@micah885]

I look forward to these breakdown videos every week, shows like lovecraft country that have some if you don't pay attention you might miss it moments. I always learn something new. Can we talk about how Ruby was this close to getting a strap on.

[@sharonzelalem8653]

Tamara might have gotten the job before Ruby because she also has skinny privilege. We notice that Ruby is bigger and bigger bodies are often excluded in fashion, like the store where she wants to work

[@griefscapes]

You may know already, but HBO has a companion podcast called Lovecraft Country Radio that airs immediately after the show. They do a really good job of unpacking the fantastical elements, but even more so dig into the details of the racial and emotional components of the show. It's given me a lot more context and perspective on the experiences that I, as a white person, have only abstract ideas about. It might help 🙏✌️

[@SilverScale.]

Yes! I'm waiting to finish the season, before rewatching it with these podcasts after each episode. We are blessed with all this amazing work.

[@nymphie300]

Yes, I love that podcast because they go deep into the emotional themes of each episode

[@lilrabbitcuz]

Ehh I don’t think they do a good job. Maybe for women. I feel like they stay off topic and talk about emotions more than what actually happens. Like the sci fi stuff. I don’t care how the characters feel I want to know about the Easter eggs

[@djbowus]

I understand u being white u won’t have the same perspective as a black person. Im just glad ur not freaking out about race issues like a lot of white people, and apparently some brown people, are. We all have prejudices and the only way to get over those issues is with new information to change our thinking. Black people will ALWAYS fight systemic racism but it will not be stamped out by us alone. We must learn the difference between individual prejudice and systemic racism. This show covers both. So thanks for being open minded to learning. There have always been white folks fighting side by side with black folks and some scared to rock the boat even tho they know it’s wrong. The fact is you’re one of the best content creators on this platform and should have millions of subscribers. We must remember it’s ONE race, the human race.

[@Jomoscho]

Ok, as a lifelong Chicagoan I feel the need to make a correction. The store Ruby wants to work at is Marshall Fields, which was a very nice department store. Marshall’s is on par with a TJ Maxx. So you’d either say Marshall Fields or just Fields. Please know this comment is said with kindness and not to be a jerk.

[@mero4009]

Yea you have no idea what marshal fields is Jomo... at all

[@Jomoscho]

Mero How so? I’m not trying to fight, just curious why your opinion differs. Marshall Fields was the store growing up you’d save the bags and boxes to reuse. I bet quite a few people still use the boxes like I do to store precious Christmas ornaments. After Macy’s purchased it, quality did decline. Still a beautiful building. The one on State Street.

[@afifagilbeaux9533]

Thank you😊

[@chriscuben1198]

@3:38 The mahogany and marble-lined "Marshall Field's" is a (former) Chicago luxury high-end retail icon (now called Macy's) that since 1887 was the midwest comparative to Harrod's of London. For an accurate LC context, it should not be confused with the similar-sounding but utterly philistine modern discount/factory-reject outlet, "Marshalls" which is more like TJ Maxx or Ross.

[@bonjouradios1574]

Omg I cringe every time I hear him say “Marshall’s”. Ummm NO. it’s Marshall Fields TF

[@spencersss1251]

At first I thought Cristina just transformed into a man and used the name William. But it seems William was someone as his experience with the captain of the lodge who his father was head of as we know Cristina’s father was head of a separate lodge and not killed by the captain. Also the fact that he was laughed out of academia while Cristina wouldn’t be able to have done that. Most likely Cristina found William saved him with a combination of their Magic’s putting two people into one. The scar on Williams body not being on Cristina shows the cop attempting to kill him was true and if Cristina was able to stay a man with her mind and just transform like that fully there would be no issue with her becoming a lodge member .

As a black women, I enjoy your break down of this show. I find you funny and entertaining. 💯.

[@chibaby0306]

This was an amazing commentary. To just add, why would the skinny black girl get the job even after ruby was more qualified and applied several times before her. I think its because the skinnier black girl was more appealing to the rapist manager. Also, the scene where they all went to the "southside" one of the white women were looking at a black man seductively, i wonder what happened later. I really wish ruby(the bigger black woman) had a chance at love with William, it made me happy that she finally was made to feel like a queen only for it to be a whole lie. Most big black women are not appealing to the general population as their lightskin counterparts. I am looking forward to episode 6. I definitely feel like this ties into the actual Jeffery epstien case and probably shows us deeper of what is going on...i may be completely wrong too... Also Lancaster having a black mans body part is so true, this reminds me or Jordan peeles get out. I can definitely see peeles work in this show and his touch. Love it!

[@lavishmisfittink3214]

If u watched the episode she got the job because she was being sexually assaulted by the manager and the manager wasn’t attracted enough to ruby to do it to her that’s why ruby stuck a stiletto up his ass at the end

I think the cop was experimented on by Hiram Epstein.

[@TheRichardchaney]

I agree the store manger hired Tamara, the skinnier black girl, because she appealed to him both physically and for her demeanor.Someone he both wanted to and thought he could victimize. My take is Ruby applied before the policy changed to token integration. I listen to the Lovecraft Country Radio podcast and one of the writers said they cast the part of Tamara as darker skin to eliminate the colorism aspect.

[@ceyciemateo9411]

This is based on a book. This isn’t Jordan Peele work it’s just directed by him

i felt bad for Tamara when Ruby kind of looked down on her. Though I understand Ruby's resentment of being overlooked despite being more qualified and more prepared, it's not Tamara's fault that she got picked. She may even have more struggles being a less educated black woman in those times and she needs all the good luck she could get without having her fellows hating on her. poor girl, getting fired for fighting a rapist boss.
