Reservation Dogs Season 3 Episode 2 – INDIGENOUS Review! Analysis & Breakdown

Strange, the algorythm gave me a video where coyote put the milkyway in its place…👍

Anyone else catch the fact that not only did Bear miss his bus, but also left his headphones 🎧 in the bathroom

Y’all rock!!!!

when you made the recent "Halloween Special #3" and said you had a new channel, i immediately subscribed to Hulu and binged Season 1 on saturday, Season 2 on sunday. while there are definitely several references to "Smoke Signals" in many aspects (the opening shot of Season 1 starting from a Rez radio station, the way they use music throughout, the character of Brownie feels a lot like Lester Falls Apart from the Smoke Signals book, etc etc, plus the bus ride that you mentioned here) this series also reminds me of Sherman Alexie's book, "Indian Killer." you've probably read it, but for those who haven't there are multiple characters in that book who are all "indian killers" in a wide variety of ways, from the entire gamut of people who mean well to people who don't, on both sides of the racial lines. here in this show there are ways in which the entire series feels a bit like "part 2" of that novel, especially in the wide variety of ways racism is on display. there's the obvious creepy wealthy white guy with his fetishes and tattoos, but even the tension between "city NDNs" and "Rez NDNs," between the youth culture and the traditionalists, and on and on. there's just tension and conflict everywhere. and it's all handled so brilliantly, so poignantly, so powerfully.

i'm also both worried and curious if this season will touch on the way american media so often turns a blind eye to the way NDN women just "disappear" and are never heard from again. reading the BBC regularly there's a semi-annual report on how this happens all over Canada … though i imagine it's a problem everywhere. also, i'm on board with Patrick's "conspiracy theory" — i've only seen episode 1 of season 3 so far (today's a work day) but on the bus it definitely looks like Tini (sp?) has a few hickies after that conference.

in the end i can't praise this show enough, and am so thrilled to see the return of Patrick & Jacob, and the expansion of the crew into the 4 strong, smart voices and points of view. every one of you brought something surprising and powerful to the table, themes and details i had not thought of, connections i had not made, and i'm grateful for the chance to hear your perspectives. more power to you all. i'm definitely hoping for a 4th season. makes perfect sense.

It bothered me that when Maximus was showing him the home movies, Bear had no flash of recognition from the names mentioned. The culvert can also symbolize rebirth.

so cool to find this podcast clip on tiktok! I always wanted to hear more of your thoughts on the series after watching the natives react video you guys made a couple years ago ^_^

Would like to see a spin-off about the Conquistador and his people. "Conquista-dogs."

Loving Res Dogs, glad to come across your recaps, and I'll be looking for your other content.

I want learn more about the cultural meanings of the show as a non-native.

I feel bear will somehow bring Maximus to res, as Maximus relates to having ties there

Amazing insights! ♥ Greetings from Córdoba, Argentina!

That scene was shot north of Jet,Oklahoma. Great Salt Plains, a surrealistic area where salt incrusted land is bright as snow.

I can't wait for yall to cover episode 3! Keep it up and thanks for sharing your takes!

Off to play Miles Davis – Star People now.

Chhee I’m so glad I found this this. I’m excited for you guys to talk about episode 3. Listener of Native film talk too; waiting on a new episode! Happy to see all of y’all doing this

This show, man… Reservation Dogs just gets inside your head and then walks out holding your heart in its hands. I've never watched a show that just left me emotionally exhausted in as many ways as this one. This is healing. This is is speaking our truths. Imma miss it when it's gone.

Love your review cuz you take lines and mention their importance. Awesome. Most reviewers tell us a recap in a different way. They instill their opinions but you all give us something to think about. You mention details Wow

Excellent review!!!!! Thanks
