- Now, who doesn't love Wednesday Addams? She is goals.
She's dark and morbid and it's just... Relatable, you know?
Greetings, friends.
It's me, Bailey Sarian,
host of the YouTube series, Murder, Mystery & Makeup,
and also the podcast, Dark History.
Netflix brought me here, once again,
to do my makeup while I catch yet another killer
and untwist yet another dark and twisty mystery.
All in a day's work, of course.
This is Case Closed, with me, Bailey Sarian.
Oh, I am so excited,
'cause today, I'll be watching the first episode
of the new Netflix series called, "Wednesday."
The series follows Wednesday Addams,
when she was like sent to Nevermore Academy,
which is I guess a boarding school for outcasts.
So let's take a look at the case file I have here.
Shall we? Let's go.
The brief says, "By the end of the first episode,
"someone will try to kill Wednesday."
(gasping) Oh no.
"Though she already has an extra hand
"to help her investigate."
Hello, Thing.
"You'll be her extra set of eyes and ears on campus.
"Your job is to figure out
"who will try to kill Wednesday and why."
Now we have a list of suspects here:
Principal Weems, Enid,
Bianca, Xavier, Tyler,
Rowan, and then we have the Sheriff.
"Heed the words of Edgar Allen Poe:
"'Believe nothing you hear and only one half that you see.'"
Oh shit.
The inspiration for the makeup I'm going to be doing today,
maybe you can guess,
is gonna be maybe a little like dark and vampy.
Just a little naughty and a little nice.
But like, I like books and reading and also like devil shit.
All right, enough talking. Let's get into the show.
Solve some mysteries.
(students laughing)
Now, who doesn't love Wednesday Addams? She is goals.
She's dark and morbid and it's just...Relatable, you know?
(locker squeaking open)
(mumbling)
(Pugsley thudding on floor)
- I want names.
(mumbling)
Now.
(students laughing)
- Are you scared, kid?
You scared? - Aww.
(laughing continues)
(Wednesday gasping)
(school bell ringing)
- You okay?
- So I guess Wednesday has visions.
So she saw who attacked her brother.
- Yo Dalton, look, Pigley's sister.
- The only person who gets to torture my brother is me.
(indistinct yelling)
- Aw, that's really sweet of her.
To defend her brother with piranhas.
Except like, where does one just give two bags of piranhas?
Oh wow, so she's the killer.
Solved the mystery, case closed.
Just kidding.
(sinister music)
House goals. Or is that the school?
I think that's the school.
Oh, Morticia. Morticia looks incredible.
That highlight, bitch.
Work that shit.
I just love that she's like a super glamorous mother
with tits out- You know I'm all about the tits out.
I'm feeling Morticia's lip in this.
So I think I'm gonna recreate that.
Yeah, we should do a dark lip like that, it's beautiful.
But then I also need to keep it a little Wednesday-y.
We'll see. But I'm inspired, bitch.
- Nevermore doesn't usually accept students midterm.
- No one with a red lip murders
because that shit smears, okay?
And when you put on a red lip,
you are dedicated to that lip.
You wanna look good all day.
So you're not gonna be murdering anybody.
No, you're gonna wipe that shit off,
take off the lash, then you're gonna murder.
So she's not- The principal's not murdering anybody.
- Did you hear that my little storm cloud?
- Gomez calls Wednesday his little storm cloud?
That's so cute, I love that.
I want someone to call me that.
My little storm cloud.
Ooh, pretty. I love that room.
(Morticia gasping)
- It's so... vivid.
- So her roommate, obviously, a little different.
- You look a little pale.
- Wednesday always looks half-dead.
- I think they're gonna get along.
You know, at first she gonna be like, "Ew, color."
And then once you get to know the person,
you're gonna have a lot more in common than you think.
I mean, they're both at the same school.
(rain falling)
- Where's the rest of him?
- Well... - Oh dear.
- The torso and arm are over there.
We found the leg by the lake.
There's an arm in that tree
- over there. - So something fishy's
going on, and that man believes
that it's coming from the school,
which I wouldn't doubt, right?
It's all bad kids.
I'm sure one of them is a serial killer.
Chances are high, right?
So they said that like,
"Well, whoever did it what probably wasn't human."
You'd be surprised what some humans could do.
They'll rip limbs right apart and put it in trees for sure.
I mean, just gonna take a wild guess here,
and whoever's ripping apart those limbs
is probably gonna come after Wednesday.
I don't understand fencing.
I never got it.
What is the purpose?
Why are they wearing the beekeeper mask?
(student grunting)
- When am I gonna get some real competition?
- It's her, huh?
Those contacts are a little scary. I bet she's
like a wolf. - You must be
the psychopath they let in?
- And you must be the self-appointed queen bee?
Interesting thing about bees,
pull out their stingers and they drop dead.
- Wednesday comes back quick with the one-liners.
Good for her. I wish I was quick like that.
- Rowan doesn't need you to come to his defense.
He's not helpless.
- Hopefully we're gonna find out more about him.
He's not just a nerd with an inhaler,
he's gotta be so much more.
Hopefully a killer. That'd be fun.
- En garde!
(students grunting) (swords swiping and whipping)
- As you could tell,
Wednesday knows what she's doing, right?
She's like going high and going low and I don't know...
- She lost?
Sad.
- Your face finally got that splash of color
it so desperately needed.
- Sick burn.
Allegedly, she's the coolest girl in school.
And I believe it because she just kicked ass at that...
I don't know, Bianca, you're a little questionable, girl.
Maybe she like transforms into an animal though?
Anything's possible. Dream big, they say.
- You're Wednesday, right?
- Oh, he's cute. He's not a nerd at all.
- Rowan.
- Okay, Rowan.
- I never thought it was possible
to be an outcast in a school full of outcasts.
- Okay, so at first I was like,
Ooh, Rowan, hot, nine outta ten.
Now, I don't know. He's kinda weird.
He's got a creepy vibe.
I'm a little unsure about him.
- No good deed goes unpunished.
Foreshadowing? Maybe.
(intense sinister music)
- Wednesday!
I don't think the gargoyle was an accident.
Somebody pushed that gargoyle... Bianca?
But she got saved by that hot guy.
His name's Xavier.
And he just jumped on her, saved her.
I think every girl kind of like wants to get saved.
No, she doesn't.
I do.
Okay, look, I'm lonely.
I wanna get saved by a hot guy jumping on top of me.
- So you were guided by latent and chivalry,
a tool of the patriarchy to extract my undying gratitude.
- Why was he there?
- Some people just say thank you.
- Like what a weird place to be, right?
Coincidentally, Xavier?
Or were you coming back from the forest
where you're ripping limbs apart?
Suspect or love interest? To be determined.
We meet Tyler, the barista.
She tries to bribe him to give her a ride.
Like, he's working. So he can't, he's busy, right?
I really don't think Tyler is a suspect
because he just kind of seems nice.
But you know what?
They get you on these- On these shows.
- Stay out of this, Galpin.
- Yeah, stay out of this.
Boo.
- So she's obviously like not thinking
about rainbows and lollipops, you know?
- Whoa.
- Dad.
- His dad is a sheriff? That sucks.
It's probably him. 'Cause he's like,
"Mmm, I hate my dad, mmm"
Like murders people.
It happens all the time.
"Mmm, I hate my dad."
And they just murder everybody.
(sighing) Hug your kids.
The sheriff is, just based off of his voice
and his scruffy beard, that tells me
that he's not very well put together
and doesn't have his life put together.
Therefore, he probably murders people.
- You're an Addams?
Don't tell me Gomez Addams is your father?
That man belongs behind bars for murder.
- So allegedly, Gomez is a murderer.
Probably.
- I'm gonna keep my eye on you.
- I don't think murder runs in the family.
I mean, maybe?
That police officer, sheriff man,
was already labeling Miss Wednesday as a bad seed.
Eh, he's not far off.
She did something kind of not that great to those swimmers.
I'm back.
I added mascara and now I'm adding a little bit of blush.
So I guess we've met all the suspects now.
So far, nobody's really standing out to me
except for like, the sheriff.
You know, it's always the sheriff or Bianca.
She doesn't wanna be threatened
by this new girl who's weird.
(grunting)
Ooh.
(eerie ringing)
(fire whooshing)
(crow cawing)
(man yelling)
He's gonna die?
The hottie, hottie nerd is gonna die.
Don't go in there girl. Don't get involved.
- Wednesday, come on.
- Wednesday. - Rowan, come back.
- So I mean, like with her visions,
it would be kind of scary.
'Cause if it wasn't accurate,
then you just look like a nut, right?
Like, "You're gonna die. Don't go in the forest. Not-"
You know?
But then if they are accurate,
and you didn't do anything,
you would live with that guilt forever.
So I'm grabbing my case file
because I'm real confused and I need some help.
It's the sheriff, Tyler or Bianca.
They are the top three on my list.
They're coming for Wednesday.
Rowan is the nerd. He's gonna die.
Yeah, I'm going with Sheriff. Final answer.
- What do you want?
Why are you following me?
I don't have time to explain, but you're in danger.
(scoffing)
- I think you've got it backwards.
- Rowan, I was rooting for you.
I always root for the nerds.
How dare you betray the nerds.
- What are you doing? - Damn it,
I wanted it to be the sheriff.
- I have to kill you.
Girl in the picture.
- The prophecy was that Wednesday isn't very great.
Like, she's gonna do bad things, destroy the school.
But maybe... Maybe he had it wrong the whole time,
and Wednesday's gonna like save the school or something.
- Rowan.
Rowan.
(creature growling) (Rowan yelling)
- I did not see that coming, that's for sure.
(creature growling)
It was a twofer. Rowan's a bad guy, right?
But also the creature's ripping people apart
and murdering kids.
Well, case closed.
We know who tried to kill Wednesday.
It was Rowan, that little nerd.
Ugh, get a hobby, nerd.
But like what was up with that monster?
We're just gonna like see a monster and not address it?
But luckily there's more episodes.
Hopefully it tells me, I need closure.
Wednesday is out on Netflix now.
If you're like me, I mean,
you're gonna be binge watching the rest of the series,
'cause you need to find out what happens next.
And also, see if our predictions are right.
I'm told there are many more mysteries
in store at Nevermore Academy.
Let me know down below in the comments section
what you think is going on.
You know what I'm saying?
Like who? What's going on at that school, huh?
How do I get in?
