A radically unhinged recap of AHS: 1984 

Thank you guys so much for supporting me! i hope y’all enjoy the video!!

THANK YOU, nobody EVER mentions how vile the depiction of richard ramirez is. It’s as if all the crew knew about him is that he was a serial killer with an edgy name. He was a child lover, yall!

this season solidified my leslie grossman obsession because she was so funny and unhinged in 1984 💀

the intro for this season is so killer, the aerobics scene is so hot

This one goes SO hard, SO fast. The first 5 episodes, could've been a DOPE movie if cut to 2.5 hours. But it's AHS and we're only halfway through so we need more. And more answers to questions we never had. Time jumps and poor writing choices just made it so clunky and that clunk spills over into the first half. I'd be just fine thinking Rita's just a psycho. I don't really need to know her character motivations. I don't need to know Margaret's.

brooke's wedding with white wedding in the background is pure chef's kiss one of the best scenes of the show

Im so excited for you to talk about "double feature" because both felt like they didnt have any ending

cult was original but it was disturbing in a way that people were confronted with a haunting reality, i think asylum does that as well but in a way that you can still detach from it because the world has come a long way with mental health since the 60s

I think Emma Roberts is best in roles like Scream Queens and Madison Montgomery for sure. I hate typecasting people but she has mean girl vibes when acting. And that’s ok!

I appreciate you watching so I don't have to bless you 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻. I forgot Richard Ramirez was a "character" in this so "real life serial killer has Misadventures" got me with a steel chair ☠️. Hard cringe as a true crime fan to make actual serial killers into "characters" in media in my humble opinion, but you as always are effervescent!

Why Ryan Murphy had to use Richard Ramirez and couldn’t literally just make up a fake serial killer I still don’t understand and if he felt had to use a real life serial killer why did have to be one of the few that he had already made a Canon ending for. Just ridiculous.

While it doesn’t come close to matching the camp and motherness of Coven, 1984 is still certainly up there imo

My favorite thing you do is the little “mhm, mhm” every time something awful happens 😂

Pacing weirdness aside, I like that the first few episodes are a long slasher movie and then the rest answers the question of, now what? What happened to the survivor? What happened to the property now that it has a grisly history? And there's the question of why did this happen? What events happened years and years ago to set up these dominoes? A big part of my love for this season is getting to watch Cody Fern being pretty, but I think Emma Robert's works best when she's allowed to be bitchy and slightly evil. Innocent final girl just doesn't do it for me But I really could have gone without their try-hard sexy night stalker plot. Just make up another serial killer, you don't have to use a real person who also killed real people. It just feels gross.

I love 1984 lol it's just so unhinged and campy and a love letter to slashers

Yessss I’ve been waiting for this video!! AHS 1984 always intrigued me because I love summer camp type horror movies but I was too lazy to watch it for myself lol (and all the other seasons of AHS too 😂😭) but seriously your recaps are too good!

I actually really loved this season. For me, season 5 is where it started going downhill. This felt like a return to form.

I’ve been watching your since maybe Asylum, and wow. Your confidence has honestly skyrocketed. I love your format, getting the character breakdowns first. I stopped watching the after Hotel, so it kinda helps getting that context to understand the dynamics!

sir, the disrespect for xavier is unacceptable!!!

I loved how they played with slasher tropes like Brooke being such a stereotypical final girl at first, and the first half of the season was so incredibly fun...but then the second half happened :( and also why do we keep making fictionalized versions of serial killers

Thaaaaank you for saying what I've been thinking about Richard as a character!! I gave this season a rewatch the other night bc I feel as though I might have been too hard on it, but no, it still kinda sucks LMAO. And Richard fucking Ramirez being a main character will never not leave a sour taste in my mouth. These writers are so creative and talented, they could've easily just made up a character for this role. Idk, I'm rambling but!!! Love the video as always!! Also, it's your videos! Like, don't stress about character introductions and like, pacing. Who cares!🎉🎉

This was the only season of ahs that I could convince my mom to watch with me because she loves slashers so I really liked that I was able to watch and enjoy it with her and we had a blast

I was like, am I supposed to take the Billy Idol lip syncing in the woods man seriously??

Me: Hi how are you? Cain: Mmhhmmm, mhmmm Me: Okay? So what is up? Cain: Iconic and you can't deny it Me: Um what? Cain: Yes, Crusty. She's the mother Me: 😳

Love what you're doing, as a piece of subjective criticism id love for you to display the images of the characters while you're introducing them. sometimes they don't read so well, specially the side characters. Besides that you're doing amazing xoxo

Was literally waiting for this to drop so excited to see your take on the season

This is one of the few seasons where both critics and audience agreed that it's good. ❤️

I absolutely love 1984, and for a 9 episode season it wraps up everything pretty well, the ending gives me the feels lol. Glad Emma survived a season haha.

Emma eats as Chanel Oberlin in Scream Queens so if you want more Madison Montgomery def watch it.

Popular fan theory on why Brooke looked so young in the current time, is that she made a deal with Satan after the whole thing with Richard.

So freaking happy this dropped - Drinking my morning coffee with you on this boring cold gray Sunday lol you’re the best!!❤❤

The way you constantly say “mmmhhhmmm” and “mother” is my thirteenth reason.

I feel like this season would’ve been better off if they stuck to one or two (*original*) serial killer villains or something I feel like trying to shoehorn Richard Ramirez into the story fucked over a lot (even the already established Richard Ramirez from hotel, where he literally says that he dies at a different time and is obviously a ghost able to enter the hotel) If his character was just an original character (or a copycat if you really want that connection to the nightstalker I guess) and just a horny loser serial killer that whole storyline would’ve been better in my opinion If they just stuck to Benjamin being a scapegoat without being that intertwined with Richard (they could’ve kept his tragic “doing good and happy with life before his family is murdered and he has to complete unfinished business” thing without Ramirez-) I do like parts of Richard’s part in the story? Like I find (detached from the fact that he’s based on a real person) the idea of a loser serial killer getting involved and used in a psychosexual relationship pretty funny, I think his ending of being trapped in a constant loop of waking up and being brutally murdered by everyone he fucked over is cool and interesting and fun- but some of it is just bad or boring or pointless- or could’ve been replaced with another character or a one off thing? The main issue with this season is that it’s trying to do 20 things at once

Just started rewatching 1984 this week in preparation for this video. I am sat!!

Hot take: I love Trevor. He’s funny and his whole character makes me chuckle. Plus I love him and Montana together

When you were talking about how they integrated real life people into each season.....I thought they did a good job with black Dahlia in murder house. It was handled well.

This was my favorite season by far

I think the recurring issue with AHS is that their storylines should be done within 5-6 episodes consistently.They write a tight storyline and then have to stretch it out which ends up making the seasons/endings lackluster. I think the American Horror stories are much better since they're way more standalone. I'd be interested in seeing a couple episodes with commentary/opinions on those episodes too when you have time.

So happy to see this posted this morning!! I love your recaps

YESS!!! i have been WAITING for this!!!

ugh i have been waiting for this! to me, 1984 really made me love ahs like i used to, even though it has a very different sort of feel to it. i loved emma roberts as the main character and leslie grossman is an absolute QUEEN in this season. laughed so much at her absurdities. congrats on the wonderful work that ur doing with this series, ur always amazing. love from brasillllllll

Loved Emma in Scream 4, she's definitely a scream queen and final girl in this season of AHS

The last half was 100% shoved in there. They should’ve let the night drag on! Give us some mystery. Drop the hints of people being dead and give us a reveal later! (Example: girlie sees person die, tells the rest of the gang, body is gone and dude is back, confused what the fuzz is about, making girlie think she’s crazy. Hell, we know people don’t remember dying so keep hiding the bodies only to find out just as they’re leaving that everyone is dead and that they have to protect the kids and stop them from showing up, or murder the murderer because they can’t save themselves anymore. Another idea: LET THE MURDERER BE PART OF THE GROUP, MANIPULATING THE GHOSTS Sidenote: Ramirez was so unnecessary, it’s like the opposite of chekhov’s gun You don’t have to do the kitchen sink, please do not, dear mr Murphy

While I am a fan of Emma Roberts, it's true that she doesn't really hold up when playing characters like Brooke or Anna Victoria. It's not like she's doing a bad role playing more tame and kinda nice people but she is really more or less a one trick pony when it comes to characters that suit her very well. A type cast for mean girlies basically

42:31 This proves to us Ruan Murphy puts out what he wants, and multiple people scramble to put the pieces together... And then he doesn't even check to make sure they fit, or he thinks people are too distracted or dumb to notice... 🙄 Still my most favorite show ever, but I sometimes wanna strangle Murphy.

Watching this season w my ma was crazyyy, she grew up around East LA around the time !😵‍💫Her and her friends have their own experiences with Richard Ramirez, from seein him down the street to him bein at a window !!!🥴 She said the best scene was when he got his ass beat when caught in Boyle Heights !! "Spot on n most accurate" part of the show, prob a fav of mine too just cause its so cathartic 😭

I've seen this season once and watched your explanation once but i still dont understand the plot so here i am watching this again 😅

YESSSS ITS FINALLY HEREE❤❤❤ Thank you for all your hard work it's very much appreciated.

27:38 Things that Emma Roberts (as Brooke) and Angela Giarratana (as Grace Chastity) have in common

i was genuinely surprised when this video came out, i thought the show stopped at Apocalypse

This season changed my life. Billie lourd was so hot in the leotards and metal hair it was insane…

This is one of my favourite seasons along with coven and hotel. I love me a good old fashioned campy slasher ❤❤

mother has fed us once more ❤ i watched like two episodes of this season so it will be cool to learn about this one heck yeah

this season felt like a movie of a 1984 slasher film and I LOVED ITTT

I have no memory of watching this season, but I remember every single plot point… so I guess I definitely did watch it…

LIKE THE VIDEO YALL! I liked the first couple of eps, then it turned, excited to see what happened the rest of the season.

Dude love you and your content! I was just thinking about you and 22 min ago you uploaded this! Thanks for all your hard work!

throwing away my homework to see this masterpiece 🥰🤩

42:31 I think there was a reason for Ramirez inclusion that Murphy isn't telling us.. but it's interesting he doubled down on it's necessity that way

I hadn't seen this season, but i love your takes. Have you seen Insatiable? Its the perfect trainwreck.

Omg life been so crazy lately gotta finish watching the rest of your videos 😫 binge watch timeee

do you think you could start adding some kind of visual indications to the board when characters die? i get that it's kind of hard with the way that life and death work on thsi show but I think the amount of deaths that happen every season would be more impactful if they were also visually represented edit: love your recaps by the way and love your vibe so much

I thought I watched and commented on this video, but I don't see my comments and it doesn't sound familiar- so I must have made that up. I wasn't terribly fond of this season. I wasn't really sure what to expect going into it. A few years later I now understand that the elements of it that I didn't care for would be considered "camp," and I've developed a much more neutral opinion on it since then, it just didn't really work for me. There's literally so much going on in this season, it was unbelievable in a way that just overwhelmed my enjoyment. This recap was more entertaining lmao.

best season. i have been WAITING for this one

I was too excited to watch this

Considering all of the seasons that have followed it so far, I feel like this was the last season of AHS of its kind. Maybe it was because of the break they were forced to take during the pandemic, but it just feels like the last bit of momentum AHS had was gone by the time the show had returned in 2021. Sure, Evan Peters and Sarah Paulson came back in season 10, but once they proved that the show could do well without them, they should have continued down that road and maybe not invited them back so quickly. Idk, I could talk about it all day. But I’ve been a fan since the first day the trailers for season one started airing - and I still watch the show. I love it in spite of its imperfections, but there’s definitely a huge drop-off after this season, in my opinion.

I hated this one at first, but it grew on me. I only watch it in the summer.

its not a plothole that brooke looks young she gives multiple reasons, her husband is a skincare doctor thingy

Hasn’t been this good since. 1984 was incredible, and it feels like everything after has been drastically worse.

I loved Leslie Jordan, as an actor. The man was adorable and incredible.

i love the way u do your videos never change pls ily.

Are you going to work on American Horror Story season 10: Double Feature 2021 with season 11: NYC 2022 and season 12: Delicate 2023--24 timeline recap?

ax man of new orleans was also a serial killer that appeared on coven :)

Oh I haaated the Richard Ramirez plot, like who is this for

This season honestly Jesus was seen hyperfixations aligned and it was a perfect series for me

Omg I’m early!! ❤😂 love your videos!!!

Why is this the one I forgot existed

Ryan and his writters are really GOOD coming up with scenarios and ideas. The biggest issue is execution. They have no clue what to do past episode 2 or 3 of any season. I think that AHS needs to end because it's getting as bad as TWD, who refused to die even tho no one was watching it. Also I really didn't mind Emma Robert's acting. We have to remember: she's been typecasted for the last 20 years with, pretty much, the same characters. If she wanna improve her game she has to do something else than bitchy teenager

1984 essentially copies Friday the 13th frame for frame. At least in the beginning.

1984 was one i just couldn't get into. I tried to watch it but i lost interest in AHS after Apocalypse.

Best season imo

Ryan Murphy grosses me out. He has a weird obsession with serial killers. He treats them like rockstars and sex symbols.

The 80's references and slasher easter eggs were nice, I just didn't like the main characters that got the bulk of screen time. Also some reveals were unnecessary...

I know for a fact I’ve seen this season, but almost none of this sounds familiar. My brain must have wiped this one for some reason. 😂

Another great recap girlfriend!!

so excited thank u cain

Intro ate

I'M LATE BUT SO HERE FOR THIS!!🎉

We have reached the seasons I have not seen!!!!!!

Great stuff! But we can’t see the timeline or the smaller pictures, so just get rid of the timeline since you are already telling us what’s happening and make all the pictures bigger. I think that would help!

Are you planning on doing a ranking of the series after you're done with the recap?

Trevor was beautiful though, so hot! He's reminiscent of 80's gay porn stars and I live!

This is the first AHS season i never watched bc the previous one disappointed me so much. Very curious to find out what it‘s about

Haven't finished the video yet but so excited for your next installment I love your videos!!! And also here to say: please don't do anything on that stupid fucking Jeffrey Dahmer show. I mean you can do what you want obviously but I'm glad you said please don't make me bc you really shouldn't if you don't want to and please don't let people bully you into doing it bc OMFGGG imo it's just so problematic and just another showcase in how problematically OBSESSED Ryan Murphy is for real life murderers I just think it's completely in poor taste, we don't need dramas with real life murderers as main characters and all their real life victims like side pieces to a plot. My dad grew up on the same street as Dahmer, he was a grade apart from him, he KNEW people who knew him. Those families of those victims are still alive it's just gross imo and yeah I don't think that show needs ANY attention 💀💀💀. And while I totally respect Evan Peter's needing a break from the horrorifiying mental places AHS made him go I find it real weird he couldn't do more fictional killers and bastards but he could play a real murderer 💀💀💀 Idk I don't know him or his sitch but that show really rubs me the wrong way I don't see why we need any dramatization of real life tragedies of real life people there's a difference between informative art and then capitalizing on tragedy. also girl i love the way you handle recapping and going over the characters its very easy to understand so you keep doing you! excited for more 100 and ouat as well, take all the breaks you need fr!

This season was kinda horrible, but you know I like to see review of

YESSS

I’m SAT!

according to angelica ross miss roberts refused to let the makeup artists age her too much, also miss roberts was transphobic to angelica AND miss roberts was apparently running the show whilst ryan murphy wasn’t there

This is the only season I didn't fully watch. I finished EVERY season. Except this one It really sucks

Oh I'm SAT
