• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Welcome to press play, where we are going through the
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: less than stellar history of video game movies. I'm Drew
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Shulman with me, as always is my beef cheek broad
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Jason Wynn. Now, whether you're watching or playing along, it's
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: time to press play. I honestly, like I think when
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: I pitched the stupid idea to you, this was the
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: like I know, Mario was kind of like the first one,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: and it was the obvious, like it's a shitty movie,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: we'll get the shit on it. This is the one that, like,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: I'm legitimately excited to get to because I actually and
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: ironically enjoy this movie.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Interesting, it's is this okay?
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: So I'm I'm like tandentially aware that the Resident Evil
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: series is awful.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: It doesn't.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: I've never seen it prior to those okay, and like,
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: just because of the context of this project and so
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: on and so forth, it's not that bad.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: It's not. It's not the worst thing ever.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: Resident Evil, I think more so, is like one of
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: the most prolific game video game franchises of all time. Right,
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: Like Ito who plays video games and hasn't heard the
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: phrase Resident Evil before, Oh, yeah.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: It's it's it's funny because I think the only movie
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: we've only movie we've had up till now is Wing Commander,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: where it's like, who's ever played Wing Commander?
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Of course Aaron who will play later?
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: But aside from that, freak everyone, like all the other
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: games we've covered are like you've heard of it, you've
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: played it, you could probably recognize it, but like, yeah,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Resident Evil really is something special.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's it's it's hugely prolific. I think it's
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: to the point where the movie franchise is hugely prolific.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: I've only played a.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Part of one video game my entire life, but because
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: of like watching YouTube and like watch Mojo series and
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: all these other like editorial review things, I've seen clips
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: of Resident Evil games. I know Resident Evil. Like playing
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: part of Resident Evil to Remake, which is the the
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: game I played, I was like, Oh, that's the thing
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: that I know Resident Evil to be without ever having
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: played it before. So this was this was and you
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: know what was interesting too. Not knowing too much about
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: the lore, I felt like these movies were really accurate.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: They might be like the most accurate movies to the
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: to the video games. That maybe that's because I'm not
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: very familiar, but it was. It was interesting for sure.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: There's that like video game esque quality we've talked about
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: before that this movie really does embrace, in like the
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: way it's shot, the way it's like choreographed, the way
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: the action sequences take place, Like like there's these moments
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: you sort of like just picture like that wall of
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: zombies trying to like break through a fence, and it's
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: like I've like I've experienced that, whether it being Resident
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Evil just in games in general, like that is a
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: video game ass moment.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, oh, especially in the sequel. There's some
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: crazy fucking set pieces.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Oh we would get to that one.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say, you hit something on the head
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: early on, which we'll nail now. But it's like the
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: first movie I really enjoyed, Like I said, this, this
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: franchise I have.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Prior to this, I had.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Seen the second one, Okay, I feel like I'd seen
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: up to maybe the fourth, and potentially one or two
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: after that.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Dang.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: At some point it turned into Mad Max. Like they're
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: in a desert, there's giant cars and like weird clans
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: of people like with flamethrowers in metal claws. It literally
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: turns to mad Maxsang like this goes off the rails
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: like two already goes off the rails pretty heavily as
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: far as movies go, and only gets more heinous after this.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: To my knowledge, Well you say that, and again we've
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: been gas lip because the other movies are so bad.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: But I don't watch a lot of zombie movies. I
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: feel like the majority of zombie movies I have seen
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: are bad, like because a lot of zombie movies are
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: also in the B movie genre as well, I feel
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: so there's some horrific acting, there's some horrific dialogue deliveries here,
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: it doesn't seem too far out of the genre that
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: it's in, So it didn't seem like it was overtly
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: bad it which just seemed like it was on par
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: of the genre that it is, which is a zombie movie.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: And maybe some horror fans are gonna like rebuttle that
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: and be like, ah, twenty eight days, weeks and years later,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: we're amazing, and I'd be like, oh, okay, I mean one.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: So I will preface say I am a fan of
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: horror movies. I have a really specific fascination with like
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: horror thriller or sci fi horror, because I feel like
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: they give you a bit more room to play with.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: And I think that despite Resident Evil being not as
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: fantastical as it could be, still heavily falls into the
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: sci fi fantasy version of a zombie movie, which I
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: think really acts to it that the second movie kind
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: of loses.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Like the first one feels like fantastical and like science
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: fiction y, the second one just feels like a zombie
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: movie with Resident Evil stickers on it.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, okay, okay, yeah, yeah, I think we can
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: delve more into this.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so we'll do recapping here because now i'veyone seen
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: these movies, but the film itself, let's dive right into it.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Something has gone wrong in these super illegal, secret bio
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: weapon labs of the Umbrella Corporation, located below the unsuspecting
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Raccoon City. R Amnesiak heroin Alice, her equally amsiac fake husband,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: and a journalist posing as a cop are all dragged
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: into this secret lab by a security detail from Umbrella.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Their mission is to uncover why the labs AI killed
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: everyone see AI was bad even back then, and keep
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: it all under wraps. Everything goes wrong for a multitude
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: of dumb reasons we will dive into quite shortly, but
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: also along the way we get maybe sort of love stories, betrayal,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: lots of deaths, not all zombie related, and a badass
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: female protagonist who both starts and ends the film mostly
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: naked because.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Of course they had to. Yeah, and in the Yeah,
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: that continues in the sequel as well. Unfortunately, yes, Emil Joviovic,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: and it's rated R, so they're gonna exploit the hell
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: out of that, which is really unfortunate. But the source
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: material for this game, first release in nineteen ninety six,
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Resident Evil If You Don't Know, is one of the
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: most prolific horror video game series of all time. It
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: redefines survival horror or I mean, depending on who you are,
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: defined survival horror in transition from third person to first person.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: It spawns live action movies obviously, TV shows, comic books,
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: animated adaptations, and novels. Collecting ink ribbons and managing your
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: storage space has never felt more tense, whether you're deciding
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: to be between carrying ammal or some red and blue
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: herbs or killing zombies. You know, like that either way, right.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: If you've never played Resident Evil. I feel like or
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: watched any of the movies. You've definitely met like an
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: edge lord with that umbrella core sticker on their fucking car,
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: or it's like tattooed on their delt because of course
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: you have it.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Really is like I feel like anyone of the Resident
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Evil tattoo. It's either like you're a really hardcore fan
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: and like you really understand the games and like you
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: played the original Japanese Biohazards, or your fucking like you know,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: like bulky ass Jim Brow who like does NNA on
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the side and like runs his own like underground wrestling ring.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Or some shit.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: For sure, you're the type of guy who's like, I
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: hope someone raps me so I can kill And you're like,
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: oh my god, what is funny?
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Am I wrong? I know these guys?
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I like that's like I feel like you always see
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: it as a decal on the back of a jet
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: black jeep and you're always like, yeah, yeah, yeah, you
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: you maybe played the games, but you're not a nerd.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: You're like a doomsday prepper and you have at least
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: a six shot in your house in every room. We
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: know who you are, So I think this is I
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: think this is what our third heavy exposition dump to
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: start a video game movie. And like, weirdly it still
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: feels like the right choice, like I feel like it
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: does it well. It feels very gamy, but it also,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: like I understand because people are probably gonna see the
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: some or gamers like it's crazy to just tell a
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: not show but give it's.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: The Star Wars crawl really is.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: But again, given what they want to focus on, which
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: is the action and the horror side of it, it
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: does get through it rather quickly and goes like right
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: into the action, which is nice.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: I'll be honest as you say this out loud now,
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: and this is like the first time we're talking about
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: it to each other. They could have cut it, and
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: I think through contexts you get because what is it.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: It's like Umbrella Coo is the biggest Yeah, you glamored
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: and ever and they developed the T virus. You learned
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: about that later. Don't worry about it, like.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: I think you really energy.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think just that opening like sequence of like
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: the lab and like the virus, like you see the
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: virus get fash you see the the air, the air
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: illusion effect they use and then like the lab go like, well,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: time to murder everybody. I think you can put two
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: and two together. And then when those zombies do show up, you're.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Like, ah, I got it, man, Yeah, because the spoiler
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: the AI lady girl, she's like, this is what happened.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: That's why I did the thing, And I look like
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: the bad get, but I'm really like a good guy.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: So everything that happens in this exposition crawl gets explained later.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: So it's fucking useless. Yeah, you know what's funny.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: I like, I like gave it a pass because it
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: was like kind of quick and like did a good job,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: but like it really doesn't need it, Like you know,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: you think you stood on your own movie.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: You didn't need this.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: I think because of that, it deserves our first negative
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: point into the system. So a minus one for this
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: movie so far. That's our that's our new that's our
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: new little thing, guys. Oh yeah yeah. And aside from
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: that as well, which is very like of this era
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: and we kind of talked about it with tomb Raider
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: as well, this movie screams like Blade to Underworld, like
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: that aesthetic of like early two thousand's grunge, like coke
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: chic whatever that that's called. Uh, and I and I
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: kind of dig it. I'm not gonna lie. I was like,
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: I was pretty into it.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Oh no, you're one hunters and right. And again, I
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: feel like you've said this before. It's kind of one
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: of those like running things we go back to. And
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: I think you actually specifically mentioned it during the World
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Combat movies, ye, which share a director with the this one.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Oh do that? Oh that's right.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Paul Wes Anderson, Paul Paul W. S. Anders whatever his
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: name is, always got it wrong. It's not it's called
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Wes Anderson, Paul Anderson, It's Paul Wes Anderson whatever.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: But yeah, he did the first moral.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: Character of Grand Budapest Hotel. Yes, that explains the whimsy
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: and exactly the French dispatch.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: I think that's another fun game we need one day.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: It's like what directors of like modern classics would like
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: do a video game movie?
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: In which will they do?
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: I feel like Paul Anderson could do like a Wes Anderson, sorry,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: could do like a I feel like he do Animal
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Crossing as a movie somehow I'm not having.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: But he would make so well, that'd be great.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Actually, we're not talking about crossing.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: We're talking this.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: Let's see here, So there was that, Yeah, there's this. Okay,
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: so there's this big like scar scene and all these
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: sciences are like, oh my god, we're all dying and
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: let's you know, it's like a rated R horror fucking movie.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: Someone gets final destinations, which I love, Like it's a
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: classic final destination bit.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: She goes into the elevator.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: Everyone's afraid of elevators now because she gets halfway through
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: the elevator, elevator goes up, gets chopped.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: That's real nice.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: I like that. That's getting a little plus one for
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: me right there.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, one hundred percent. It definitely deserves it. Like that,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: that whole opening segment is just like it stuck with me.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: It's like one of those like movie moments that like
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: watching it again, it was like therese little bits I
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: don't remember, but like the general vibe of just like
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: the panic in fear and like like it really I
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: almost believe it to be one of those times where
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: like they didn't tell the act of what was happening,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: and like they set up the fake murders or like
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: the the moments like that to like really proper get
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: like emotion out of them, Like it's.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Overall so good.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: It's probably should I say this, it's probably the best
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: acting that you're gonna get from the extras because spoiler,
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: the acting in this the line deliveries are fucking terrible.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: They're so bad.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: But it's a pretty good intro to what you know
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: or what we expect is going to be a zombie movie. Yeah,
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: and then it like did like petersof Real Fast. We
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: don't get a good moment like that for a long
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: long time, so kudos to the intro. But then like
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: this character intro, right, so we get this character intro
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: into Mila Jovovich. She's amnisiak is is that is that?
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: The is that the yeah's she has had niesia due
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: to some sort of defense mechanism in the house. They
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: explained that may last minutes, days, weeks, or months.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: We don't know.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: Oh okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, I completely missed that.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: But it's a good excuse to get some already like
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: resident evil vibes right off the bat, because what I
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: do know about the resident evil move of games is
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: that there's a lot of puzzle solving, there's a lot
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: of whoa why does this statue have three snake shaped holes?
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Do I have to find?
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: What? Did I pick up a Marvel snake earlier? Oh shit,
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: I got to pick up three other marble snakes around
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: this house again, Especially in.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: Like Graceivil two, it's like some dude's house.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: It's like who built their house to have a like
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: weird sun dial of clock with four gems hidden throat?
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Like what are you doing? Why do you have this?
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Like I kind of like, again the video game asked
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: the idea of like, oh, the house they're in here
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: is like cover for the secret bass below and like
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: the way to get in. Like it makes it like
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: it would have made sense to like have some weird
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: bullshit in the house, given that it's a secret front
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: for something.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Okay, I didn't even think about that.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: That's a fantastic bit because I was just thinking about
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: it as like she's amnesiac. This kind of has the
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: vibe of, r, let's just add some gothic shit and
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: like this really hoity toity mansion in the middle of nowhere.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: But that that's hey, we'll take it.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just gonna span these yeah.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: But while we're talking about the house and the opening
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: scene there, I do want to bring up like my
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: one big grape of the movie, like this will be
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: my first, my first real big name for this one
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: is Okay, how and why do you have this super
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: powerful AI running the Hive and all the tech in
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: the bloody fucking world but zero method for it to
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: communicate to the folks in charge outside the Hive about
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: what is going on? Why it has to kill everyone
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: and if it has the ability to murder hundreds of
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: humans that easily, but nothing in place to kill zombies?
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Like what a poorly played evil corporation? Like really, I
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: think the villain. I think the villain here is capitalism.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: I was gonna make a comparison.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: It sounds a lot like Jurassic Park, and I'm pretty
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: sure in that movie the enemy also is capitalism.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: I think I think we can say capitalism is the
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: bad guy in a lot of things.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know about that sounds kind of communists.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Fuck, I'm having too much fun. Oh No.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: One of the big reveals of this movie, which I
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: did not realize. I don't know if people knew this,
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: young Mache Rodriguez makes an appearance, uh in a in
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: a cast that we're gonna I'm gonna discuss here right now.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: This cast is so boring and bland. There's like, in
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: our little party of like protagonists, there's Mili Jovovich, which
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: we know because she's the protagonist. Yep, nerd scientist guy,
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: and then like three to five other just swat people
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: in black, and Michelle Rodriguez is only the only recognizable
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: one for for things we're about to discuss. But Michelle
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: Rodriguez very cool, young, young Michelle Rodriguez love young celebrity
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: cameos in these video game movies.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: And like she's generinely the only one who like stands out,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Like I think there's an Asian woman at some point too,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: but she's dead, Like she's the first one fucking dead.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah she is, because I didn't even remember that there
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: was an Asian woman in this movie.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: The Asian American on this fucking podcast what yeah uh?
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: And then otherwise, like most of the Michelle Rodriguez wasn't squinting, no, no,
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: because I think she's the first one who gets killed
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: by the lay our first, our first.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Because again, like that laser scene, Oh okay, okay, that
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: laser scene is like it's burnt into my mind as
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: like just ridiculous, epic, over the top like early two
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: thousands of movie moments.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it plays really really well. Like I think
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: if you isolate that scene out and like clip it,
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: it's it's really good because there's a pacing to it
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: and there's a real like tension to that scene while
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: also being quite quick, which I find really interesting. There's
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: a lot of anxiety, there's a lot of tension, there's
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: a lot of fear, and things go, they happen real quick,
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: and it's a it's a fantastic little action sequence. So
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: I do want to highlight that a bit. I guess
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: that gets a plus one.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Here we go. It really is.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: It's just it's like such a like like you said,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: there's like a weird amount of like hope almost because
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: like it feels like, okay, well they all go in,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: a few of them are going to die, and one
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: will get out and it'll have that moment where the
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: laser stops like right in his face and you're like,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: oh my god, but no, first the laser is just
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: like it's it kills the first woman immediately the next one.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: It even knows that thing where like as the guy jumps,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: it goes up. It's like, what the fuck? What a laser?
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: And then finally the last made it, who's like made
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: it this whole way, and you're like he's the leader
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: of their team.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: You're like, I'll make it.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then it's just like no, uh, I'm just
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: gonna try to offensive lasers.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: And you're fucked.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: No exact yeah, like there's because there's even a moment
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: where he does dodge it a couple of times.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not the first waves. He's great.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's fantastically placed to be say like instant deaf,
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: secondary deaf. Okay, there's a there's a bit of moment,
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: there's a glimpse of hope here and there, and then boom,
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: I'll be honest, like I think I made this note
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: h at the forty two minute marker. It's incredibly earnest
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: and like we we've had earnest movies in particular like
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: Wing Commander, but this movie like stays earnest in a
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: in a way that is also like true to its identity.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: It's not a good act flick, but it is like
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: that type of action flick. If this makes any sense
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: at all, Like it is gratuitous action. There's a bit
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: of tension, but it's not none of the stakes are high,
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: but that's not why you're watching it. You're just kind
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: of watching people get killed one by one. This is
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: this is what I mean by the horror genre and
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: like the Beeflick situation right, Like it's not it's not
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: aliens where like we care about each and every single one.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: Of the crew necessarily.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: It's not that quality level, but it's not like gratuitous
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: action flick blockbuster bro stuff. Does this make sense? This
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: is where I'm at with this movie.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: So again that they go back to that laser hall scene,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: is it's a moment of like you realize right away,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: like okay, there's three of them in the hallway. One
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: guy keeps seeting to dodge this. He's the only one
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: who I think at the time like he's like the
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: lead of the team. So he's like the one we've
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: kind of been like following along with Mila as far
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: as like protagonist goes. So there is like the logic
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: of like, okay, like there's this big group going in,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: a bunch of them get like zero lines that have
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: no personality. You know, they're just there to get killed.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: So it's kind of the like how are they gonna
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: do it? How is it gonna happen? Is it gonna
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: be a jump scare or something cool? So to go
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: ahead and kill all three of them and leave us
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: kind of with like the ragtag plus the nerdy guy,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: and then and Michelle Robiguez, who's the only one who
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: kind of has personality. I think it's it's later in
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: the movie the nerdy one gets I don't know.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: What his name gets.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: He gets like left behind or something. He's there's like
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: a moment where he's like he might end his own life.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: Oh Caplin, you're talking about Okay, so Kathlyn is his name,
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: but he's the guy in Aliens where he's like I
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: forgot the actor's name who plays him. But he's like
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: it's over, man, I can't do that energy.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: So again, like like he's like the obvious, like, okay,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: you're you're not gonna make it out of this. He'll
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: be the sacrificial one somewhere, and then he kind of
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: has like surprise redemption moment like yeah, like again, like
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: they do a good job of making these characters, like
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: the ones that do stick around like like I was
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: rooting for Michelle Drigauz. I was hoping that they get
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: to cure and Safer. I was like really like okay, good.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Actually, now that you say that, I think
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: there are some surprising moments where pabl w. S Anderson
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: I think actually is his name that I think about it, Yeah,
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: ws Wi Paul Wis Anderson. He he has some like
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: interesting it's very of this era as well, where he
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: has interesting shot choices for sure, very like two thousand's
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: edgy blade situations.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Well, i'd say even go to step further. I mean,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: like a lot of the shots like one it takes
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: it does like the like from the POV of a
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: security camera. But that was like the biggest thing in
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Resident Evil two to me. That was, like I remember
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: so distinctly the biggest scares in Resident Evil as a
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: game for me. So again, we talked a bit about
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: your history of the game. Mine was very much in
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: a let's play version before let's plays were a thing.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: I go to a friend's place after school most days.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: He would play and I would help solve puzzles into
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: kind of because I didn't have the dexterity for a game.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: I was terrible at it, but he like knew his
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: way around because he played it enough. But it was
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: the moments of like when you're in a hallway and
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: the only way to go is like the end of
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: the hallway in turn, but you can't see down the
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: hallway until you move to the next screen and suddenly
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: it's like, oh, this is zombie right there.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: Holy fuck.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so like getting those weird camera angles. It feels
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: like very homage to the game. But yeah, by that
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: same standard works so well in this movie and does
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: like so much to like set the like creepiness. Oh
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: genuinely like worth a point done.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: Uh there's some Yeah, there's some experimental shots, and it
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: so balances. This movie is like all over the shot Man.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: There are moments that are fantastic and there are moments
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: that are truly fucking terrible. The shots are very experimental,
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: they're very interesting, but not all of them land in
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: terms of like telling that story. There's moments where, like
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: the action sequences are in saying, there's moments where they're
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: super generic as fuck. There's moments where the acting is fantastic,
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: or there's moments where the acting is decent, and then
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: there's moments where the acting is abysmal. Yeah, sure, it's
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: all over the shop, and I want to root for
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: it in certain situations. And then there's just like there's
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: just like things that take me completely out of it.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: So I guess I'll give two examples where there's this.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: Actually they happen pretty close to each other. So there's
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: this moment where Amili Joviovich she is Amnisiak and there's
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: another person on board who is supposed to be they're
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: undercover agents, is what they've been told, yes, And she
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: sees this like hot dude, and she's like, how do
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: I recognize you? And the hot Dude's like there and
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: he's like, I don't I cut straight to the chase.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: I don't know who the fuck you are. But there's
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: moments in this movie where he's like, there's definitely zombies
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: happen around me and I'm super chill, and it's like,
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: all right, you're bugging homie, like there's something up with you.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: And then the big reveal is, oh my god, I'm
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: in myself and I'm gonna double cross everyone and I
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: never felt anything for you, and it's like, okay, this
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: was the most telegraph thing ever, I don't give two
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: flying fucks he dies. I don't feel anything like the
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: worst plot twist to the point where you shouldn't have
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: added it at all. And then there's like this other
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: moment where there's these dog zombies and they look like
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: they look like Doberman's I believe, and they looks I'm
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: pretty sure they use practical maybe even early signs of
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: like CGI mixed with practical, and they're an amazing effect,
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: like truly legitimately one of the best movie effects I've
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: ever seen on film period. They work so well, And
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: so there's just these highs in these lows with this movie.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: It's really really weird, and.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Like the dog scene, just to add another bonus point,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: that is another one of those great like I feel
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: like it's such a clear homash the Games because as
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: much as it's in a movie that's a little quick
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: and it only does the same effect. But I think
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: for anyone who's played the Games, so I'm curious about
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: like saying it now the residual two Bible come back,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: but like seeing those dog cages with like the cage
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: half like ripped open and nothing around, like I remember
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: seeing those for the first time we were like, oh,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: there was clearly dogs in these cages and they managed
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: to get out of the cages by breaking them open.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Oh shit, So like we were on edge waiting for them.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Like it set the scene of like, oh, there's a
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: horrible fucking thing out here. Now where is it? I
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: don't know, but it's out there. So and again it's
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: almost immediate like she sees this, has the realization, turns around.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: And sees them. Yeah.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: But I think just it's such a it's such a
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: good like set building and world building in such a limited.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Space and time. Yeah. Absolutely.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: But then on the other hand, like the whole the
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: whole thing that the movie is coming up to, right,
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: why did this happen?
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: What is this? It's a zombie outbreak? Why did everyone die?
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: It gets revealed that it's an Ai and the eyes
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: is this a little British girl, which honestly does feel
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: pretty resident evil. It feels very Japanese to be like,
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: the worst evil thing ever is a small British child
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: with red hair.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: A small a small British redhead. Yeah.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: I feel like that's like not a trope necessary, but
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: it just feels like very Japanese anime storytelling. Of them. No,
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: I get that, Yeah, okay, cool, and then she's just
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: like I did it because it was necessary, but has
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: no umbrellas real evil, but.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: No way to tell umbrella what happened or to kill
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: the zombies afterwards.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: No, exactly, like all the logic gets broken down in
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: like ten minutes. Like Rachelle Rodriguez is obviously bit. We
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: see her for about forty minutes of the movie, like struggling,
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: she's sweat Oh, she's like coffin, she's limping. They're fighting zombies.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: I think someone in the movie says, you know what
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: the fuck these are, dude, these are zombies. And she's
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: limping along and no one's shooting her. No, Like immediately
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: anyone looks like they're being a zombie, you shoot their ass.
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: And then they're like, no, we can get out of this.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: And I literally was writing a note and I was like,
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: why has no one shot her? We don't know what
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: anti anti virus exists, there's no vaccine. I haven't heard
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: anything about it. And as I typed it out, then
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: this little AI British lady's like, oh, by the way,
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: there's a cue, and it's like, you guys didn't fucking
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: know that. Why have we kept Michelle Rodriguez alive to
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: this point?
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: You know, yeah, like triply so because first, like you're right,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: like it does exist, Okay, we know it was a cure. Well,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: like no one knew it, so they just dried her
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: infected ass along thinking like maybe, uh, second, it doesn't
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: even fucking work. So at the end of all this
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: this like surprise like, oh there is a cure and
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: we're gonna use it. No it it literally is a
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: waste of plot. Nothing happens, and like lastly, jumping ahead
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: and we bit to the next film, it turns out
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: that it does fucking work, just not always, I guess,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: because it's curing like the daughter who's the AI and
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: like right, so they know it'll walk or something like
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: it's fucking like absolute bullshit there.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, it's again, it's part of this thing
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: where it's like it's bad. For sure, it's bad, but
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: it keeps to this identity like it doubles down on
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: these ideas of like yeah, yeah, these plot points don't
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: make sense, but British Girl AI zombies liquors like video
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: game accurate liquors are in this movie, which is also surprised.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: I think a lot of the plot twists and like
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: the story beats feel very resident evil esque, which is
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: to say, they feel very like Japanese storytelling esque. It's
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: highly telegraphed. I don't believe the twist quote unquote is
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: the point of the thing. It's more so just to
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: like keep the story flowing and keep things moving and
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: like have something happen. So it it feels very earnest
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: in a way that I wish Gwen Commander was. It
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: gets points for that. It doesn't make it a good movie,
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: but it makes it a good resonant evil movie. I think,
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: not having watched this at the time it came out,
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: I get like the reverence for it. Right, there's a
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: there's a pop culture legacy of edge lords with umbrella
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: cord stickers. Get I get it, you know. I think, yeah,
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: like to finish off this movie.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: It's fun. It's legitimately fun. It feels good.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: I genuinely again, I give them a big kudos for
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: again Michelle reget surprised at the end.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: Like we said, the cur does work.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: She does go full zombie and then is immediately killed
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: in this like ridiculous epic sequence where he shoots the
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: her and she falls backwards and hits the button and
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: opens the trap and the liquor. It's like dragon like
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: again the c G I and the liquor is like bad,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: like it did not age well, but like.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: That is good for the time, right. Oh yeah, it's
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: it's so over the top, and that's something that it
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: kind of continues, which I like, like that is not
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: the last time we see that kind of stuff. It's
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: it's that stuff where it's like that is so stupid
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: and that is so edge lord of you that it
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: does cycle back to being like you know what, good
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: on you, that's dumb.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: It's I feel like we'll get it in the second movie.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: I feel like there's moments this second movie where they
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: want to be that badass and it just comes off
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: as like lazy or like ridiculous. Still, like this feels good.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: This is like there's this big scary thing. We know
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: it's that far. Oh I defend that scene.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: You can't you can't, Yeah, absolutely go that far. But
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: I will agree with you that, Like it's very much
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: in the spirit of this whole situation. Yeah, it feels
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: almost self referential, right because there again there is still
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: a bit of this earnest and non irony to it. Yeah,
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: but this was not bad. Yeah, still has so much hesitation.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: Again it I feel it held up to what I
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: remember from my childhood. So again, when this movie came out,
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: I was young, I remember renting the DVD and putting
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: it in my portable DVD player for the family road
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: trip to like cannabung Port, Maine. And I've watched it
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: multiple times. It was one of those movies I watched
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: every few months.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: I was gonna say, this movie is probably on par
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: with like a Blake. Yeah, but I have a nostalgia
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: for Blade too. Whereas I'm watching this for the first
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: time at twenty eight in the year twenty twenty five,
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: you know, Like so I get where there's parts of
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: it where it's schlucky enough that if you watch it
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: as a kid, there's absolutely nostalgia gets a hold of you.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: It's not the worst movie we've seen by far. Yeah,
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: it's potentially the most accurate to the video game.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: If I'm being honest, I.
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: Don't love it. I don't love but I haven't loved
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: any of these movies.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this one, Like I said, I think there's definitely
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: the nostalgia glasses only for this one that holds a
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: special place in my heart as far as like just
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: for sure sci fi horror in general goes. And like
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: I said, it was really my gateway into that genre
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: that I so thoroughly enjoy. Oh yeah that like, yeah,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: I feel like, come the end of this our rankings,
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: this seems to be probably a lot higher for me
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: than for you, but like it feels like a good
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: piece of nostalgia. And then if I try to separate
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: a little bit, I still think, like you said, it
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: was a good movie for atal was.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: That being said?
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: Because there's so many there's so many are movies we're
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: gonna do at least two, yeah, backle the others maybe
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: in a patreot. We'll figure out one day one well,
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: we'll see who we feel. So this is Resident Evil Apocalypse,
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: which I had to for some reason thoroughly researched which
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: one was next.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's they're like not numbered. It's a weird like
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: I had the years and ship.
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and the posters just make it. They're they're oddly timeless.
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: They're like the cover art for all these movies.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: They're they're mostly just Nila, like standing in a cool pose,
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: very skin clad with a gun and like a colored background.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no like character arc in those, and she's
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: like barely ages, so it's very hard to figure out
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: which ones which. But interestingly enough, this one does not
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: start off with Alice, right, This starts with Jill Valentine.
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: Who Jill Valentine from I don't think I played a
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: game with her in it.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: Very iconic character design.
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: Again, look, if you're familiar with video games and video
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: game community, so Pudding in this pretty Mela had an
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: iconic look in the first movie. She has this like
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: red dress with boots and then the trench coat kind
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: of really the leather trench coat really puts it together.
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: This is like a what did they call him? Like
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: it's it's not just a crop top, it's like a
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: it's like a strapless crop top.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like a like a tube top and like
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: that's like a mini skirt and like like the the
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: gun holster strapped over it.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: Like yeah, which is a look.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: But she's supposed to be like this police officer in
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: a police precinct. Her intro to this fucking shit is
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: there's a bunch of zombies all over Raccoon City, which
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: was the where this was set. We completely lost over that. Yeah.
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: So there's like chaos ensuing. There's a police printcinct and
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: they're like doing their best to like quell this outbreak
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: and they're failing. And then Jill Valentine, dressed the way
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: she is, comes in. People are like officer Valentine, so
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: she's like a well known member in this society. Just open, open, shooting, man.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: There's police officers, there's civilians present. She's just taking fucking
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: blank as shots. Just boom boom boom boom. What We're
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: just gonna allow this to happen.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, And like the what the like again, like
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: the vibe of that scene with like the fact they're
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: trying to arrest one of the zombies or like they're
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: trying to like get him off kind of thing, and
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: like none of these other officers are shooting. The vibe
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: is like, oh, they're like sick and messed up, not
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: infected with a zombie virus that's killing them. We have
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: to kill them to survive exactly. And Jill is just like, no, no,
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: they're infected. You have to kill them.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: Boom boom boom, how does she open fire? But like,
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: how does she know this? Does she know this?
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: She's a fucking murderer, like she was off the I
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: think we like the opening of when she's like putting
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: the boots on and being all like mysterious, is like, yeah,
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: she's like suspended, and it's like, oh, like we're calling
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: all officers, even if you suspended.
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: That's why she's disgraced. Officer Jill Valance in her civilian
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: close just open fire to police.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: That's what the fuck is going on this movie.
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: It rapid paces bad scenes because the next scene is
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: like a civilian who like commits suicide because they don't
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: want to be a zombie. Yeah, and the framing gun
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: is so funny. I haven't laughed as hard since Dobby
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: from Harry Potter died because it's like this big dramatic
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: moment of like, oh my god, death is better than
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: this reality. She falls over a building we watch, we
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: don't watch her fall the way. There's no noise, there's
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: not like a dunk, there's no splat, it's silent. And
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: then like the next framing to see her dead body.
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: She's off in the corner. She's not center shot. She's
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: like she's in the corner of this screen. They can't
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: even fucking do it. And then there's a priest and
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: he's like protecting his sister and she's obviously infected and
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: he's like I'm taking care of her, will you help
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: me please?
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: And then he gets bit two seconds later. It's like,
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: what the fuck, you idiot.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: There's there's like a part of me that feels like
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: these scenes and the ones that real really out of
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: place were maybe like something from the games that like
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: we didn't play or like absorb no. But like even if,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: even if, even if someone can write in like, uh,
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: you know, we've we've been totally missed things before and again,
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: we are not scholars in these games. And I think
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: part of the thing is these movies are made to
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: be movies first and video gamaditation's second. Almost like the
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: goal is not to get the people played the game
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: come on to the movie. The goal is to make
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: a movie based off again, to get more people to
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: come in. If the case is these are like moments
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: from the game that are super impactful, then like make
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: them impactful, not like weird jarring like asides that are
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: just like okay, that happened next.
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: And you say that, which is giving a lot of
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: credence and is a big assumption, right there. Uh, this
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: is a sequel where Paul ws Anderson does not return.
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: I think he does.
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: No, I don't think so. I thought I saw trivia.
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: I'm doing trivia now, Drew.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: Matt.
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: Keep this in for when Drew has egg on his face.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: My facegly? No, how No, he wrote this one.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: Oh he wrote it. He didn't direct it. Yeah, there
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: you go. Okay, we're wearrible. We'll split the we'll slip
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: up on that one.
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: That's a sports metaphor, right, half half an egg on
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: each of our face. Keep all of that, Matt. Anyways,
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: the acting in this movie is horrific. It is truly awful.
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: It gets into a territory that is laughable, like is
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: it good, Like is it so bad that it's bad?
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: Or is it so bad that it's like haha, that's
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: pretty funny. Actually, that's pretty entertaining.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: I think there's a really good like split here because
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: we kind of have these three like random officers who
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: like weirdly be like they seem like with nobody characters,
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: and then one like makes it to the end of
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: the movie. For reasons and is also the cure works
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: on him because reasons. Uh specifically, uh, it's the Carlos.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: He's actually he does the whole like elevator jumping out
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: of the helicopter to say that woman in the first place.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: The one agent who survives, by the way, played by
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: Odd Fahir, who I met last year at comic Con.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: Super nice guy, very.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: Hell yeah he was at Denver Comic Con. I didn't
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: get to meet him, but shouts out to some one
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: of my favorite Destiny characters. Oh I didn't know that.
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: Oh wait, he's o Cyrus Cyrus. Yeah, I just realized that.
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no, I freaked out when I realized that
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: and got to meet him. I could go on for hours.
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: But then he was amazing. You know what.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: I liked him so much. Let's give him a point
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: nice and then we'll immediately you know what. Also, I'm
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: not gonna say, lose a point, but we won't add
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: a point. Is his partner, I think, is the other
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: one who makes it a little bit further, who like
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: I think he gets killed by the dogs in the
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: but he gets killed by the dogs in the school,
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: and he's just like spewing these like ridiculous hammi ass lines.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: He is chewing this sea so fucking.
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: Hard, but he is still yeah, yeah, he gives it all.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: It genuinely feels like he's like, Oh, I know this
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: movie's not gonna do well. I know I'm gonna be
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: laughed at. Let me at least play like play up
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: the fact that I know how.
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: Bad it is.
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: Almost Oh, no, for sure, you're absolutely right, because I
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: think so much fun those two actors really give it.
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: They're all in a movie that's bad because I remember
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: there was a scene earlier that featured like the zombie attacks.
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: It's one Milo Yofovic actually like makes her entrance in
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: this movie, and there's a bunch of zombies and it
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: plays like a horror movie. And I was really excited
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: at that point because I thought this would have a
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: different tone. It doesn't set or it's it's just teases
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: for something that could have been good. But they're getting
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: jumped and one of the police officer like actors goes,
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: oh when he gets jumped by a fucking liquor, which
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: is like can it's like this brain mutant monster and
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: he gets like jumped by it and he gets knocked
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: over and he goes oh, like honibly like that, which
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: is so fucking bad, dude.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: And like no one seems they seem freaked out by
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: like a thing. But like, right up until now, it's
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: been like, oh, like they're humans but they're infected. But
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: this is like no, this is a weird fucking sci
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: fi creature. And you're just like, oh, there's a few
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: of them. Do people just walk their liquors on the
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: street and Raccoon City on a regular basis, You're like, oh, yeah, no,
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: that's mister Rogers is a liquor. Yeah, no, he's he
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: would never bite me.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: What is that?
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: Is that? A?
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: Is that a golden dude?
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: What is that? It's a it's a doodle liquor mix.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: That's a fed up dog you got there, it's a
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: lick that's like, wah, fuck you.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: That's hilarious. That's really good. Proud of that, Yeah, I
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: know you should be.
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: Uh, there's let's let's talk about that scene because it
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: is a church scene. It is where mili Joviovic makes
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: sure yes, entrance. I think it's also a good talking
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: point of like you made a note here that there
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: are I think, at least I think there's three instances
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: of slow mo action sequences about this in the previous
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: movie talk it's really really interesting. So the very first
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: sequence is mili Yofovich. She comes in on a motorcycle.
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: I believe she comes into the motorcycle. She jumps off
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: the motorcycle I think like spins it or kicks it
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: so that it hits a liquor and then like tosses
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: it up. And then she shoots two bullets in slow
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: motion so that they perfectly hit the motorcycle and thus
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: destroy and blow up the liquor. So this is like,
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: this is that train of thought that we had before
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: where you can kill two things at once in slow
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: motion and be fucking badass. And it happens like two
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: more times in the movie. I believe they like they
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: like milked it for this one. Yeah, man, there's just
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: like environment killing Again. I don't think that's a resident
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: evil game thing at all, maybe like cutscene stuff. Now,
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: what I will say, because you had the note about that,
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: is it is excessive. It is gratuitous in this movie.
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: Maybe it's because I've been like, uh like code it
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: this way, but it's certainly more interesting than like Zack
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: Snyder's version of slow mo in modern movies. So it's gratuitous.
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: It sucks, but it's kind of interesting. It's like it's
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: that edgy thing that I was talking about where I'm like,
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: you tried so hard, babe, You're trying so hard.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: But I think the other side of that coin, then,
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: is there are a few moments that like there're these
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: weird like transition shots where it's like you think of
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: like a TV show where it's like you're changing scene.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: So here's just like a skyline of the city real
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: quick before we go to the next area. But then no,
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: then you've suddenly got moments where it's like, oh, here's
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: just like a bunch of zombies outside of a school
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: for no reason that it's completely attached from the scene
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: we're in and will randomly go to like low quality
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: slow mo for a few seconds while they're like shambling,
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: and then we'll come back to our team in the
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: same place.
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: Nothing's changed.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: It's just like you had b roll of zombies and
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: slowed it down and threw it in a few times,
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: like did I miss something here?
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: They That's like because that would be the director side
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: of things, right, like, yeah, the visuals, the pacing, I
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: think this movie. One One of the kudos I will
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: give it is that I think the team or the
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: cast of characters that we're supposed to be following is
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: more distinct and more interesting.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: I also really love these movies for one thing in particular,
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: they are not afraid to kill off their cast of characters,
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: and very unceremoniously as well. I'm pretty sure that's a
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: horror movie trope, just having people die one by one,
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: but it feels so unceremonious when someone does die, like
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: it's so quick and yet ends so fast. And I
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: kind of dig that because that's realistic to this setting,
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: and it makes the movie interesting of like quite literally,
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: not like you don't know who can make it out
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: and they don't think they're edgy for it, if that
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: makes any sense. It's not like, yeah, this is pre
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: Game of Thrones, so like after Game of Thrones, everyone
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: thought by having major people killed that you could keep interest,
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: but this is pre that, and so they're being very
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: nonchalant and just kind of casual about them killing off
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: major quote unquote folks, and I like that a lot.
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: I will say, here's the point.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think we can ride this train of
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: like some weird, surprising good moments here. I think Alice's
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: transformation from the first movie to the second movie is
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: like jarring almost. But I think we kind of, like
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: I know, in the future movies, we kind of go
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: into the more of the like sciency aspect of her,
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: and we kind of dabble in it here with the
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: whole Nemesis.
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: Program thing, right right, Oh yeah, because she's got like
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: t vyers in hers is a reveal I kind of
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: dug it because we talk a lot about like Mary
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: Sues or like and again I hate that term, but
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: there needs to be more general neutral term for it,
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: but just like a character that can do everything out
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: of nowhere, right, yeah, someone make a gender neutral term
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: for that, please, a Kevin Sue or some shit like that.
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: But I feel like this was earned in a way
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: because it was established that she was like a secret agent,
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: she just had an So her just being able to
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: do whatever in this movie was like really funny but
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: also kind of did make sense, whereas from Turm Raider
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: one to Tom Rader two it did make sense, Like, no,
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: it didn't make sense for Laracraft to be like a superhero.
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: It made a little bit more sense here, because at
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: least Alice had one scene at the very end of
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: the first movie that felt superhero wee. So now she's
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: just doing that more in full force. Also, there are
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: two There's one character development point that I thought was
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: very good. Jill Valentine has a friend who gets infected,
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: and Alice straight up goes, Marcus, ass fuck him.
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: I did this with Michelle Rodriguez. It sucked ass.
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: Kill him right now, And I went, actually, that's that's
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: actual character filment. Between movie one and two. We have
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: literally never had that in this entire fucking podcast series.
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: We have not had that.
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: And also again you go back, like when he is killed,
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: it is like very unceremonious. It's very just like like
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: secondary to the scene that's our first real Nemesis encounter
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: with a Yeah, between Nemesis and Alice. Yeah, we do
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: get a moment of Jill kind of like reeling with
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: the emotion of it because she has like a like
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: a moment of downtime actually trying to like you know,
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: hot wire the car. And it's like, yeah, because like
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: in reality, you don't have time to stop, and more
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: than somebody who died when you were literally being shot
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: at by a super zombie with like a machine gun.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: But like when you have a moment you're sitting down,
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: you're finally taking a breath, You're not like in immediate danger,
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: it hits you a little bit like it honestly like
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: Jill's defining moment.
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: Weirdly is that moment?
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: M Yeah, yeah, yeah absolutely, and she gets she gets
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: to grow faster because she's under the tutelage or at
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: least the guidance of of Alice, which is really cool.
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: Speaking of a zombie holding a chain gun. Uh, Nemesis
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: looks very good. We've seen some hopy effects. It looks
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: like a practical suit. It is wonderful. He yeah, he
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: even growls like stars, which I think is from that game.
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, is that one? I know?
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we know this all right, awesome, Yeah, that's a
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: great that's a each kudos right there, boom you like it.
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: Let's just retroactively put like negative three points for like
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: the fucking bad acting and plot points.
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, because we're totally keeping track of these, and
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: we'll use him to accurately replect our scores the end.
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: Uh huh yep, yah, yeah, totally yeah, this gimmick. There's
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: an awesome scene. Now I'm gonna transition Nemesis here. So
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: Nemesis is big flat zombie. He was Seth Green in
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: the previous movie. By the way, Seth Green is not
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: in these movies. Seth Green is just my terminology for
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: any gawky white nerd in the early two thousands. Like
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: it feels like, if it feels like this character could
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: be played by Steph Green, He's gonna be a virtual
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: Steph Green.
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: It's funny because in my mind when I think of
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: like Horror and Seth Green, I immediately done to his
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: character in Buffy and I'm like, yeah, his character in Buffy.
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: This could be his.
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: I was, I was gonna, No, he's not in Scooby Doo,
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: is he? Or is he in Scooby Doo with James Gunn?
• 46:50
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he isn't one of the later ones.
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: Isn't he like he becomes like Kist or is it
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: another guy who kind of looks like Seth Green? It
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: could be other two anyways, So Nemesis turns out to
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: be the Seth Green character from the previous movie, and
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: there's a scene. I'll be honest, I kind of tuned out,
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: but it was kind of fucking hilarious where they're like, hey, Alice,
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: you're a secret sleeper agent for Umbrella. Now go punch Nemesis.
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: Go yeah, they can hire that entire like ending segment
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: of the movie of just like there's.
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: A ring of dudes watching her fist fight Nemesis.
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: Like the idea clearly is to get to the reveal
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: where she figures out who it is and feels bad
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: for him, and then he like h realizes she's figured
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: it out, so he has a heart suddenly and is
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: no longer under brain control computer vision mode.
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: We've seen for sure, Like fuck is it's so awesome
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: the transition though, because we know that we know that
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: because there's that sting at the end of the first
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: movie that says bring him to the Nemesis program.
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: But in the.
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: Context of this situation, there's all these bad guys. They're
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: like there's like twenty thirty masked dudes in black and
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: like this guy's just like, hey, go punch this thing
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: that you've shot at sent rocket towards launch grenades that
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: never even scratched him. You want to go punch him
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: while we watch, And she's like, yeah, I dude, Yeah,
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna punch him.
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: Oh no.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: I love how she's like, no, I don't want to
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: do that with the fun it's stupid. He's like, I'll
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: kill the random science guy in the wheelchair if you
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: don't do it. Oh is that one hit? And then
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: she's like, okay, fine, okay, you shot the girl's father.
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: We saved because yeah, don't forget we as of like
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: the scientist who was like, you know, like extracted before
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: everything got too bad because he's a higher up scientist.
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: Turns out invented the virus. Sure, his daughter who's just
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: you know, like I'm gonna stay in the school and
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: hide because my my truck got hit and the people
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: left me here. We also we also passed something that
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: I need to go back and yell about for sure.
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: I think this is like the new thing I have.
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: I was like every one of these movies says like
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: a moment that I'm just like no, no, no, I'm fucking
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: so mad at the scene to yell okay, it's the
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: graveyard scene. It's a short scene. They end up been
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: a graveyard for like four minutes, like just wandering through
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: because it's the quickest way to get where the school
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: I guess is or something. Uh, and then of course
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: it's a graveyard. What the fuck is gonna happen? But zombies?
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: But we know the virus infects you, then you die,
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: reanimates the corpse. Okay, I that makes sense perfectly. I've
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: accepted this, this this thing, and you know what, like
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: maybe the recently deceased if they're not infected, but like
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: they can become infected because they're still like bodies. I'll
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: even believe because of like some mumbo jumbo bs from
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: the first film that like it adapts and can spread
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: through anything. So like, yeah, gets into the ground, get
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: to the cemetery. Shure, I'll even ignore the obvious flaw
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: that like could you imagine being in a box six
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: feet underground, buried and like bursting your way through it?
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: Like these zombies can be really get to a fence?
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: Fuck?
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what I will harp on though the thing, like
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: all of this I will let slide. Yeah, why are
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: there so many recently dead people in this town? Like
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: three apocalypse? Like every fucking like I'm sorry, you bury
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: somebody and they're there for like more than a month
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: or two. There's body reanimate like growing body and like
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: clothes that have expired on these skeletons, Like, what the
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: fuck is happening here?
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: Sorry, that's just like piece three off. It's like this
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: makes no sense.
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: What the fuck?
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: Man?
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: No for sure, and like there's there's a bunch of
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: other things that they try to explain about the T virus,
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: which I'm sure has also happened in the games where
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: they're like, oh, here's a scientific explanation for zombies. But
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: in the original movie they're like they're just reanimated corpses
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: with one impulse. And then like one of the thug
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: guys are like, what's that impulse?
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: Eat?
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: And that was like one of the flaws with that
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: first movie. But for me, I was like, I mean, yeah, sure,
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: but like other people, that's that's the first impulse you
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: have is to eat other people. And then to your point,
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: if you're in a cemetery, I don't know if you
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: need to eat so bad you claw six feet off
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: of the fucking ground, you know what I mean? I think, Yeah,
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: I think your impulse is I'm gonna sit tight right here.
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: This is pretty hard.
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: Like I'm sure someone smarter than you can probably tell you,
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: like how long, like like, let's assume the T virus
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: existed and like work the way it says it does.
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: How like how far decomposed could a body be before?
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: Like the reanimation is basically useless because it's like the
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: body is like dead, right, yeah, but like these are
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: all like fresh bodies and it's like every fucking grave.
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: I also love the fact that like we have this
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: like the first movie established the hive underground super secret.
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: No one knows about it. I'm pretty sure Mila and
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: Nemesis here we're just like in the regular public, everyday hospital.
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: You're just we're gonna build this super like tank fuck
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: zombie man like three doors down from like the kids
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: with cancer ward because I don't know, we need a
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: spot to do is and the high was expensive and stupid.
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of a there's a lot of world
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: building in the sense that there's a lot of like
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: pieces that they're trying to build up, right.
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: There's journalism.
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: There's like getting this story out is like also a
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: subplot in this actually in the morning that I delve
• 51:59
  Speaker 3: into this. It's written. It's written with love. I was
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: almost gonna say it's written well, but it's written with
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: love it. Yeah, yeah, because now that now that I
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: know that Paul W. S Anderson was the one who
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: wrote it, this makes more sense. And there's definitely like
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: world building that's happening. Yeah, there is. There is also
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: a tendency for these movies to end kind of the same,
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: and I wonder if that's a trend for upcoming movies
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: where it's like, all right, Mila has now arct and
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: now we're gonna.
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: Take her off the table.
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: Oh wait, but she's still obviously she's the face of
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: like eight fucking movies.
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: So here she is waking up.
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: In a hospital bed time to get get ready for
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: number three baby sequels on end?
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you had you had a note about this?
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: Really the first of all, the ending is tacked on,
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: like it feels like there's like extra like like twenty
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: minutes of movie where it's like, oh, they got out
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: and the helicopter crash and they recovered her, and then
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: like she's been there for a few weeks, but the
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: other people like managed to get like fake IDs and
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: a car to neak in and get her out, and
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: like people just believe them. Like it's like the most
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: bizarre thing and like she's like in this weird fish tank,
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: naked floating in the thing, and I just I, yes,
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: it's not a bad thing. And I just wrote this
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: and I have to share it. If I had a
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: nickel for every time I watched a female game protagonist
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: who's incredibly talented and both armed and unarmed combat fight,
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: pull in a harness midair, and ride a badass motorcycle,
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: then have to deal with an evil sexy Dora Mormont,
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: I'd have two Nichols.
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: I just want to explain to the audience. Now you're
• 53:35
  Speaker 3: already alienated by somehow you're listening to this and you're like,
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: I've never seen a resident Evil movie.
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: I've never watched in.
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: A resident Evil movie. We've also just now inserted a
• 53:43
  Speaker 3: Phineas and Fur reference to this fucking podcast, because I feel.
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: Like those memes are so good even if you didn't
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: watch the show, like like I never watched I know
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: the memes.
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: Oh okay, gotcha, Because I was about to say, this
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: makes sense to me, Drew, and that's why we're on
• 53:58
  Speaker 3: a podcast together. I don't don't know if this travels
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: to I.
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: Think it's I think, and again, like I hang up
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: a lot of younger people I've learned. I'm like Aaron,
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm the old guy in a lot of groups here.
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: I feel like it'll it'll carry with our audience. We
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: have a cool hip audience, right.
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: I feel like resident Evil. You also like Phineas and
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: the Venn diagram for that is a circle? Uh yeah?
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: But do Mormons back again as like weird bad guy
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: who's kind of sexy.
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: Yes, which is a reference to tomb Raider if you
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: haven't listened to that episode.
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: Mama brings up to that.
• 54:30
  Speaker 3: So what's up with Doora Mormont's actor being in schlocky
• 54:34
  Speaker 3: video game movies?
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: That's what's like. I'm waiting for his third his third appearance,
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: like it will be the trifecta.
• 54:40
  Speaker 3: He's gotta be right, Like that guy's gonna be the
• 54:42
  Speaker 3: future Charles Dance. You know Charles Dance has a lot
• 54:46
  Speaker 3: of cameos. Is evil British old man in movies? Oh
• 54:49
  Speaker 3: oh yes, okay, yeah, no, yeah, I know what you mean.
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: He's gonna be Charles Dance in like ten years. No,
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: it's a great it's it's a great coincidence. It's a
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: great thing to bring up. Uh, it is very very weird,
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: and there's a connection to tomb Raider.
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: Well we also get like I've seen in this movie,
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: like just I reference it here, but like where she
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: like runs down the building by the way, a building
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: in Toronto.
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: I was I've been there. Yes, a lot of this
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: was filmed in Toronto.
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that building, Like, yeah, it's a stupid thing
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: where it's whenever I'm in Toronto, I see that building somehow,
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, the resident evil too building she runs down.
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: I know that movie well, but yeah, like she runs
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: down and then still still in the harness. So she
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: has like some like a realist movements going on, fights
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: a bunch of like faceless thugs, And I'm like, is
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: this just every female protagonist in a video game movie.
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: Have to do this?
• 55:37
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, it's an obligation. Yeah, the next Mortal Combat
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: Tonya Blade's gonna have to do it.
• 55:44
  Speaker 3: At some point, I was about to say, I don't know,
• 55:47
  Speaker 3: I can't remember if there's any other video game movies.
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: Maybe the Legend of Chun Lee. Maybe she does that.
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: I think that's the next movie with a female video
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: game protagonists. I don't know.
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: As the lead I should say.
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say, I'm like next, the only
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: one I can think of having is like, I know,
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: we're getting that Lesondo Zelda movie in like three years apparently, and.
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: They're gonna split that though.
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just gonna be two twinks talking to each other,
• 56:09
  Speaker 3: which is what all elves are, regardless of gender and
• 56:12
  Speaker 3: age and size.
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and I approve of it. Yeah, these movies
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: were interesting.
• 56:18
  Speaker 3: Man as as a person who had not grown up
• 56:20
  Speaker 3: with these, I find I find they're aesthetic really like
• 56:24
  Speaker 3: charming in the sense that, like I liked movies that
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: were kind of like this, I did not somehow watch
• 56:28
  Speaker 3: these in their era. But as an adult they are
• 56:32
  Speaker 3: objectively bad. Like they're bad. They're the best. I will
• 56:36
  Speaker 3: say though, this sequel is probably the best sequel we
• 56:39
  Speaker 3: have seen. I will give it kudos to that. I
• 56:43
  Speaker 3: think it is better than Annihilation. Let's talk. Let's think
• 56:45
  Speaker 3: about this. It's more common Annihilation and it's Tom raight
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: Er two. Those are two sequels that we're working with.
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: And this is the best sequel because it is.
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: I mean not a high bar across, but I mean like, yeah,
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: you're right, and.
• 56:57
  Speaker 3: I know and I don't know if it's it's not
• 56:59
  Speaker 3: bad than the original. It's not worse than the original
• 57:04
  Speaker 3: necessarily either, Like coming from this from a non nostalgic
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: lens of view, there's parts that are better and there's
• 57:10
  Speaker 3: parts that are definitely worse. So I think it gets
• 57:13
  Speaker 3: Kudo's points for being the best sequel we've seen.
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: I like these.
• 57:19
  Speaker 3: I think I like these. I've had worse.
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: I've had worse viewing experience as part of this project,
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: you know what, I'll take that as a win as
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: someone who still holds a bit of nostalgia to this,
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: to this specific movie. And again, it's one of those
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: things too where I think, like watching the second one
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: again for the first time in so many years, I'm
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: like reminded how many moments from it that like still
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: stuck with me, and I'm like, oh, yeah, like this
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: was like when I think back to the movie, I
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: kind of lumped the two together and forgot I did that.
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: M hmm, yeah, I could see that.
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: I could see that for sure, because there's a lot
• 57:47
  Speaker 3: of similarity similarities between these two.
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: I also will say I kind of love and it's
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: something you don't see. I feel like you see it
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: once in a while, and now with movies, but like,
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: I feel like it's a fun thing. Is that like
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: it literally picks up where the other left off, Like
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: there is no gap, and it's literally like the first
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: movie ends with her in that like weird half a
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: paper gown thing finding the shotgun in the police car,
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: and that's like how this movie starts.
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: Essentially. It's like I like that, It's it's fun.
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this movie, the sequel is also not a complete
• 58:16
  Speaker 3: rehash of the first, which is what a few movies
• 58:18
  Speaker 3: do in their sequels. It is very similar. There's definitely
• 58:21
  Speaker 3: some similarities, don't get me wrong, but it didn't feel
• 58:25
  Speaker 3: like this movie again.
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: No, yeah, even just the switch from like a small team,
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: self contained like in the Lab the Hive now into
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: like a full city and I know, like I've alluded
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: to the other ones that kind of like obviously gets
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: out and goes into the whole world and then eventually
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: goes into like countries, continents, worlds and like apocalypse, like
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: literal apocalypse. M I feel like this They jumped the
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: gun on the title for this one a bit.
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: Who knew?
• 58:52
  Speaker 4: Who knew?
• 58:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So I guess the only thing left is to
• 58:55
  Speaker 3: officially rate them here.
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 58:57
  Speaker 3: So first off, I think we kind of answer or
• 59:00
  Speaker 3: this like is it a good movie for me?
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: I would say not good movies.
• 59:07
  Speaker 3: Both of them. I would say, not good movies me personally. Okay, okay,
• 59:11
  Speaker 3: I give them two snake coins out.
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: Of three to open the door. There you go. Uh
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: you know what I think?
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: Look looking back rewatching them now, I think the first
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: one still held a.
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: Good spot with me.
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: Like, I think I noticed a lot more of the
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: like the bad acting or like the weird plot things
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: you don't notice as a kid. But again, I feel
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: like even modern movies like there, if you really like
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: look back at some of the like modern films that
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: you like might enjoy, like there are some really weird
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: little plot hole moments or like yeah, you know, cool
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: for cool sake things. And then going to the second one,
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: like I definitely agree it is not a good movie. Weirdly,
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: if there was another movie between these two where it
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: was a little bit more self contained before it became
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: like cause again, like we'd even covered there's like the
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: random like like gangster dude with like his solid goal
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: in this movie, it's like it's like he serves no purpose,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: He's purely there as a comic relief character, which again
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: like sometimes is good and especially if he gets like
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: a redemption arc or has a bravery Yeah, like he
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: has like what like one or two funny lines, and
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: even then I think he's like funniest moment is just
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: when he drops the guns and like the the the
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: hud for Nemesis goes like not a threat anymore. It's
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: like he otherwise does nothing like the other. The other
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: I think it's Nikolai is the other agent who gets killed,
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: but at least has like some funny like chewing the scene,
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: like look to camera like oh, like at least he
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: was relevant to the plot and like did things and
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: like thought, yeah, second movie, No, doesn't hold up, and
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: it was not a good movie.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: That's fair, that's fair.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 3: But as an adaptation, I'd say these are very good,
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 3: potentially the most accurate adaptations in the sense that like
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 3: it's not one for one by any means. There's like Alice.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 3: There's an Alice character. She's Alice Wong, I believe, or
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 3: eight a long I actually don't know, but it feels
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 3: like a resident evil like it feels like a like
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 3: a game, right, So for that I'm gonna give it.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna give it a resid Evil five infinite rocket
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 3: right there.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: That's that's my.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: Rating for Yeah, I say the adaptation side of this
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: is a lot better like that. Like I said, there's
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: just there were so many moments watching the first movie
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: where it's like like the weird camera shots her like
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: rumming through the house looking for things. There's a moment
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: at the beginning where like she sees the note I
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: don't think we learned from her like fake husband, and
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: she tries to write the same thing underneath to see
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: who would match her own handwriting, like just like really
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: good video gamey ass like cruel moments that felt like
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: they really like they understood the source material kind of moments. Yeah,
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: and then like the actual like like again disconnect a
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: little bit, but like yeah, the bass like on the
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: AI understanding it had to do what it had to
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: do and it was like the only option to it had.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: And then even when they get there, it kind of
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: like fucks them a bit and lies about like they're
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: being a cure because it knows it's not gonna work
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: and if it tells them, they'll just give them hope
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: they don't have. Yeah, and like it even says like, okay, fine,
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: I'll let you go, but kill Michelle Rodriguez first because
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: it's not gonna set it free and I can't let
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: that happen. It's got so many good like video game
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: moments that I feel it could be like direct cut
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: scenes in the game in a good way.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: For sure.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: I definitely give this the rocket launcher I saved until
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: the very end that I wasn't gonna use.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: Use it now.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 3: Wow, two rocket launchers for the adoptation part. That gets
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 3: our two rocket launcher thumbs up.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: Baby yeah boy, this is where everyone was like a
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: video there, it'd be like it was a really terrible
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: CG like rocket launcher animation.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 3: But I'm gonna rank one of these in the top five,
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 3: that's for sure.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know what, Like, I need to go
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: look at my list again. I don't doubt Resident Eeoples
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: gonna get pretty high on my list, but the second
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: one might sneak in there.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: Depending I got like I got a review. I gotta
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: look at my list again. Stay tuned for our press play.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: Top five. Number five will surprise.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: I figure, I figure maybe one day we'll move to
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: a ten when we have enough films on the list,
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: but for now five as fun, well we will. We
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: will take our own little break now to go inject
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: ourselves with some anti virus bullshit and uh head on
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: over to a little mini game. Welcome to the game
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: section of Press Play. We are here for a little
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: bit of post Resident Evil game. I'm words I did.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: I realized I wrote a game, but i'd write a
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: preamble for it. I figured like I've done this enough,
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: I know what I'm doing. I'm a professimental but I'm
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: here as always with my lovely beeft Bro and co
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: host Jason who you just heard us gab about these
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: films for a little bit with and we needed someone
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: to play some games with, so I brought in the
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: lovely Aaron Randolph say hello, Hello, excited.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 4: To be here as always, love hanging out with you.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: Guys, Love talking video games with you. Man. Hell yeah,
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: oh it's always fun.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: I feel like, without giving anything away, there is a
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: difference in our upbringing in what video games we played,
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: and we.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 4: Ah, yeah, we were discussing just before we started recording.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 4: There's a bit of an age gap. Uh just no,
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 4: it's really minor. It's really minor. I'm only forty five.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 4: But yeah, no, I love Resident and Evil, so this
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 4: was just exciting for me. Like, uh, I've only seen
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 4: the first Resident Evil movie, but in terms of games,
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 4: I've played and beaten every single one except for Resident
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 4: Evil Revelations two and the game Boy Color Resident Evil
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 4: Guidan I've never beaten.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry there's a game Boy Color Resident Evil that
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: I didn't know about this.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 3: Yes, yess one didn't know that either.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 4: Yep, beat beat Resident Evil Revelations. The first one I
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 4: was good, just beat Revelations was PS three x X
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 4: three sixty and PC I think yeah, and uh and
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 4: Resident Evil Village is the most recent, and I'd actually
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 4: put that off for some time. I think I was
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 4: a little bit scared of mommy.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: But yes, I think we all had feelings about mommy.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: Don't worry, Yes, but I fully embrace mother.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 4: There literally literally beat the Residonaval Village just last week.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: Nice.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: Wow, Yeah didn't we didn't they just announce eight like
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: a few weeks ago.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 4: Uh? Yeah, I think this is this is yeah, Resident
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 4: Evil eight at this point, Yeah.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: It's got, it's got because no Village.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 4: Village was eight.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: No, I oh right, it was eight. So this is
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: I guess nine.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 4: They just so this is technically nine.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah crazy, they did just announce a new Resident Evil
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: trying to type like keyboards a mile away.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, I was old school. I started with Resident
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 4: Evil two way back in like nineteen ninety six or
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 4: ninety eight. It had to be ninety eight because I
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 4: was a freshman in college when I got it, I
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 4: was two years old, and I was so excited because
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 4: this was the first video game I bought in college
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 4: with my own money, and it was the first it
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 4: was the first used game I ever bought online, and
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 4: I was super nervous, and I remember I remember sending
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 4: the guy an email after I placed the order, this
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 4: is my first ever online order. Please make sure it's
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 4: a good copy, and he said he's at back, don't worry.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 4: I checked and made sure we got you the best one.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 4: He threw in some extra little stickers and things, for
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 4: which I thought was wow.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: See I bought the total opposite story where my brother
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: tried to for the first time, buy a game online.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: I think it was a copy of GTA three or
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: potentially Sandoy. Yes, my mother helped him do the eBay
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: purchase and he accidentally just purchased cheat codes that the
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: guy literally just printed and put an envelope in mail
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: to him for the for roughly the price of a
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: PS two game at the time.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah no.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: And the fact that he makes a living with email
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: now just has like you know, it was a it
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: was almost like a vindication for him.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: Was like he bayed my bitch.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 3: Now that was his villain Dude, that was the start
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 3: of his villain arc. God damn, like.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 4: Screw me, I'll screw everyone on. So clearly you have
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 4: a connection with the franchise. I'll repeat everyone who's heard ours.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 4: But like I said, I'm much more of the movies.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 4: And again Resident Evil two, I feel like no one
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 4: played Resident Evil one, like no one talks about it.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 4: I did after the fact, when I realized I liked
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 4: Resident Evil too so much, I decided to go back
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 4: and get the original. And so the original is kind
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 4: of weird in that there's three versions for the original PlayStation.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 4: There's the original one, there's the director's cut, which I
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 4: think is the best one, and then there's the director's
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 4: cut dual shock version, which, for reasons unknown, they replaced
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 4: the entire soundtrack with a much worse version. Like bad, bad,
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 4: Like that's awesome, It's incredible. So just a little a
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 4: handy tip for if you're looking for retro games, get
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 4: the directors cut without the dual shock. Trust me.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: I feel like that's one of those things that happens.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: Like I I was because of the whole Final Fantasy
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: crossover with Magic the gathering. I was like going back,
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: like which onees I replay? What old game should I play?
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: And someone was like this one, but you need this
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: version of it. But if you're gonna play the RAM,
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: get this hacked ROM because they put the proper audio
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: files in, unlike the original version, which has like a
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: broken audio system.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 4: And it's like what, Oh man, don't get me started
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 4: on mods. They got randomizers now for these games. Oh
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 4: my god, to talk about I love. There is a project.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 4: I can't remember the name of it. I wish I could.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 4: I think it's like Resident Evil Recode or something like that.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 4: But what they did was they took the best possible
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 4: copy of those original games on the PC they released.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 4: They released around like two thousand only in Japan, but
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 4: they took them because they these were the best ones.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 4: You could upscale them, the higher resolutions and you know,
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 4: all the extra fun stuff was thrown in and they
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 4: basically retold them so that you can play them on
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 4: modern PCs in old ten ADP Pre sixty controller whatever
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 4: you got handy, and it's super easy to work with
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 4: and it just works. And I'm like, I love people
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 4: who like find ways to bring games forward to new systems,
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 4: if that makes sense. Yeah, and then they also did
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 4: it with Dino Crisis, which.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: Is I love Dino Crisis. Oh yeah.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: But also like and again, like as much as I
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: want to listen here in like praise capitalism, like a
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: small pose to the companies that like let this slide
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: where there's like, yeah, like what's like, what's the harm
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: let it happen?
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: Fuck it?
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 4: Cap Com. Capcom tends to like embrace that stuff.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: A little bit more than like Square, you know, yeah,
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: or like Nintendo when they like want to use like
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: the actual game for streaming.
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so Capcom gets a little bit more of a
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 4: thumbs up from me. But oh yeah, I would also
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 4: hold off on the ya capitalism Yeah no, exactly boo
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 4: capital is.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: But at least the ones who are playing and being
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 2: a little bit nice.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: To the little guys, yeah, for sure. Well, speaking of capitalism.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: That is kind of a good segue into today's game.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: Today's game, we will be playing what I have titled
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: Pride and Prejudice and knockoffs. Yeah, there we go, double
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: double whammy. In today's game, I have Portland Toad some
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: titles to create a new generation of amazing zombie movies.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: I will describe to you my creation a combination of
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: two existing pieces of media, one of which will always
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: be zombie related. You will buzz in as you see
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: fit I have here. I told you to buzz them
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: like going breaks, as best as you can, but it
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: feels really hard to buzz in with. So just yeah,
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: just yell something that makes your Buzz'll trust you. Just
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: there you go. So I do have an example one
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: for you to give you an idea of what this is.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: This is worth no points, but feel for the buzz
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: and if.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 2: You can know it.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: Much like on the main feet games, you are allowed
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: to interrupt me, but if you want to hear the
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: whole thing, go ahead. So my example is often mocked
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: as the worst romantic story ever written, but in this version,
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: they all get eaten by the undead, even though some
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: of them are already undead. Personally, I'm team zombies.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 3: I get the two properties, but I don't get like
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 3: the pun I suppose.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: So again, it's not even a pun. It's just if
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: you have the two titles there is the one will
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: end with word a, that will begin with word a.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: But together, I'll try any you won't give it a shot.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 4: The Zombie Room, Oh my god.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: No, no, that is. That is also a pretty bad
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: love story.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 3: This one is.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: I think it's just well accepted as a meme being
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: the worst love story ever written. Jason, you said you
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: have the two properties. You want to take a give
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: me the two properties if you can work away.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 3: It feels like it's Twilight and something zombies. Okay, is
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 3: it like Twilight Breaking, Dawn of the Zombies or some
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 3: ship down of the dead.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: That's exactly what it is. Okay, okay, okay.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: I will say now, just because two of them were
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: too good to pass up. I did drop the somewhere
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: in the title, like I removed the at the beginning
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: at something that it works. But I think they'll be
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: pre fairly obvious when you get them, and you'll be
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: able to live without them. Try if you think you
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: know it. Buzz in hopefully and it makes it sound good,
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: and hopefully these are actually funny, and you know some of these.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: I feel like all the zombie movies they shows are
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: fairly well known. Maybe the first one's a bit of
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: an odd one, but there should be good. Number one,
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: seven Dwarves have to defend a sleeping princess from a
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: horde of Nazi zombies that have dug their way out
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: of some surrounding ice capped mountains. Seven Dwarfs. We have
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: icy mountains and Nazi zombies. I would just be guessing.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you try, I'll play you right out.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: The hard part of this game was that most zombie
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: movies have the very fucking similar names.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, buzz, what you got air Snow White and the
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 4: seven Nazi Zombies?
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: Okay, well you bought the snow White Park there. I'll
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: give you that one. At least, I'll give you a
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: half point if nothing else. Jason, you dig a guess
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: what the other movie might be called that either has
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: snow and or white in the name.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 3: This is a really bad time to reveal that I
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 3: don't like zombie movies or care about them.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 4: Oh man, yeah, tell me about it. I can't watch
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 4: stuff with Gore. So zombie movies are pretty much right.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 2: Out the best two players for this game.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 4: So you absolutely could not have picked two worse people.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: To play this.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like for sure, for sure, So I guess I'll yeah,
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 3: snow White and Call of Duty World at War.
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: This this was the the Nazi zombie movie Dead Snow
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: and snow White. For Dead Snow White, Okay, good.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 4: I think I was going the other way and considering
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 4: what Nazis were into, I didn't want to say what
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 4: that could have been.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: Oh my god. Yeah, no, I I.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 4: Was like, I was like snow White supremacy. Jesus Christ.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: No, that's the worst part is I can see the
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: like parody film that would exist. I will try a
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: different one. Years after a disease has destroyed his world,
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: leaving him as the last man alive, this man and
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: his trusting companion, a horse, must survive and try to
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: find the cure. Unfortunately, his fairy in a bottle is
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: only good for one full heel.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 4: Oh buzz, Yes, I am, I am Legend of Zelda.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: That's good.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 4: The first again, I recognize.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of these are gonna be in
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: that same vein of like. Oh, I've heard of it enough.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 2: To know.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 3: In the vein of game leapers, you know a like
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 3: game is super hard. When I'm very supportive of my.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: Yo.
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: At this point, it's almost bring into a team game
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 2: of between the two. You can somebody, please trust me.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 4: I'll be cheering you on too.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 2: Oh my god. Okay, okay, I'll try this one. Here.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: A now decorated yet bumbling security guard arrives in Las
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: Vegas just for a little getaway, but things go wrong
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: as a new disease spreads, and by the end of
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: exactly four weeks, things are looking bad.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 3: Twenty eight Paul Blart Paul Blarts later.
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: I, Jason, I'm just gonna give it to you because
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: you have it the title I had. I'm so sorry,
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: is Paul Blart to Paul Bart molokop to many eight
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: days later.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're fucking ser.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 3: I can't believe.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I had any I was hoping it was gonna
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 4: be something like Paul Blart twenty eight days.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 2: Blarterer, Oh, if we're doing just bad names, that can
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 2: do worse.
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: But I was like, every fucking zomb movie either starts
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: or end with dead. That's all you have, So anything
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: that wasn't dead. I was like, hey, I have to
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: think this works somehow. I was like, what's the dumbest
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: sequel I can think of? After an experimental bioweapon is released,
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: turning thousands into zombie like creatures, it's up to a
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: team of children with magic rings to call forth the
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: Earth's mightiest protector. If only he had a machine gun
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: for a leg.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 4: Uh oh, what's it called?
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 2: I mean you you. I'm guessing you have one of
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: the things already for both I.
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 4: Do, I do, I just don't know the other one,
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 4: the age discrepancy.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: I know you and I have a but Jason might
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: be unsure of this one. Listen, I know Captain planet dude.
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 4: I'll try it. Buzz Yeah, what do you got, I'll
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 4: try it? Is it?
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 2: Is it?
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 4: Captain Planet Terror?
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 2: That is it?
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: My terror? Exactly.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: I was trying to work a grindhouse pun into their
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: somewhere to make it fit, but I couldn't think of one.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: But once upon a time there was a lonely monster
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: who fell in love, but his true love is kidnapped
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: and he must rescue her. Featuring sword fights, giants, and poisons.
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: He does succeed and they are brought together in mawage buzz.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 4: Uh. The Princess Bride of the Dead.
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm ninety percent as probably a movie. I'll
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: tell you it was The Prince's Bride of Frankenstein. Interesting
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: technically a bunch of undead parts sewn together and resurrected
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: from the dead. I mean, I still, semantically, I'm pretty
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: sure if you said any like two or three word
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: combination with the word dead in there somewhere, it's a
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: zombie movie.
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, probably, Okay, icebreaker question, Frankenstein a zombie that's a
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 3: good one.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: Hey, get to us in the comments, send us an email,
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: let us know your feelings about it.
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 4: Or is which.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 3: I mean?
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: Also, technically, there's just a bunch of pieces of meat
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: stacked together.
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 4: I mean, if you're hungry enough, I mean, I guess
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 4: if you're hungry enough.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 2: Anything could be a sandwich.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 3: It depends on the picture of frankistein too. But the
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 3: man witch right there.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: A pop group tour is interrupted by a zombie outbreak
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: so large it spans more than just their precious little
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: homeland of the UK. Let's hope they can stop this
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: right now, Thank you very much. I'm hatting a lot
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: of blank faces on this one. I mean, is that
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: going to be offended if you didn't know this one? Yeah, Aaron,
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: what do you have?
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 4: Spice World of Zombies?
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: You know what again, there's a ninety chance there's a
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: movingled World of Zombies. I was going for World War Z,
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: specifically with Spice World War damn it.
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 3: Oh, because the movie is called Spice World. Yes, I
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 3: didn't know that. Okay, I didn't know that. I didn't
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 3: have World Wars zo.
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: Oh, dude, you should go watch the Spice Girls movie.
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: It is like one of the most bizarre acid trips
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: you'll ever take the scene where they get fondled by
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: an alien while singing, like they just stumble across the
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: UFO in the woods and the aliens come down and
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: like grope them while they're singing, and then they get
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: back on the bus and continue the movie. It has
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: no plot relevance to the weird spy drama I think
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: that's happening. And also meat.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 2: Loaf is their tour driver. Wow, it is.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: Seriously like, I feel like you can't describe the moving
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: people who take you seriously, They're just gonna be like, no,
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: you made that up.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I would love the idea of me watching the
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 3: Spice Girls movie knowing very little about the Spice Girls period.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 2: I don't think. I think that actually might make it
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: easier to swallow, you think?
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 4: So?
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 3: I just found out who who? There's Posh Spice and
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 3: baby Spice.
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 2: Is there mean Spice? That just seems rude?
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 4: Ginger?
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: Ginger? Ginger? Who are missing?
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 3: I think I named all of them that Yes, baby,
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 3: I'm the Ginger.
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Five? Who's the fifth one? Mean scary Spice?
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: It's scary scary Save that for the Spice Girls episode.
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: Lord knows Madden Audi will make that happen. We've only
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: got two left, and I haven't got one of these fuckers.
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 2: I know you one point one? You want that point?
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah? I don't know if you're gonna live that down.
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 4: If Paul Blart is the only one you have, come on, man,
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 4: that's my favorite zombie movie. Dude, This this one's for you.
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 3: Kevin James is my idol.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: I legit started to listening to a podcast about Paul
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: Blart Ball Coop two where they just rewatch it every year.
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: They just get they watch it, they review it every year.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: They're on their like eleventh year.
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 3: This year it is.
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: It is a nightmaretalism to the theories about the dream
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: Mans and the crow Person.
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 4: That's like a podcast where every episode they review groundhog Day.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: It feel like that. Okay, oh they got two more left.
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: See how we can do with these ones?
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 2: All?
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: After the loss of his mother, our protagonist joins a
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: ragtag group of prehistoric pals to journey across a zombie
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: filled America, each in search of something they desire, be
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: it food, family, or an amusement park, for one last
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: good thing before time is up for all of them.
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 4: Oh buzz yeah, zombie Land before time.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 3: Yes, oh, zombie Land.
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 4: Zombie Land is one of the few zombie movies that
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 4: I've actually been able to watch, and that is a
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 4: great movie.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: It's like Shawn of the Dead, and that's saying like
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 1: yes to zombie movie, but it's much more about the
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: people in the comedy. And like, incidentally, there's a zombie
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: or two that's a very good, like non horror movie,
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: horror movie.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 2: It's good.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it feels more like it feels more like
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 4: an action comedy than a horror movie.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 2: You know it exactly.
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like like again, I think Seanan is
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: the best comparison where it's like, yes, the zombie movie,
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: but it's not about the zombies.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we have.
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: One last one, Jase, maybe you can get this one.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: Uh And I don't know, just not and on a
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: Paul Bloer only score.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 2: This is how it was meant to be, for sure.
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: I just I don't know. I think I think in
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: my heart of hearts, this might be doable for you.
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 2: Maybe I think about Blar all the time.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 4: A podcast.
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 3: I have a podcast where we watch it once a
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 3: year and only releases an episode.
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 2: The maclroy's. Who's been doing this this whole time?
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: Oh it's yeah, the mcelroys and two other Australian guys
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: who I don't know their content.
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 3: But also that's me. That's one of them. Yeah, uh,
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 3: all of them. You were all the macilroys the whole time.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 3: I definitely am aware of the maclroy's.
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: Deep below the streets of this city lies a hidden
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: research base currently playing home to a bunch of teens
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: on vacation who stumble across a skin covered book that
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: will lead to the death of many, but at least
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: the league gets a badass chainsaw in the sequel.
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 2: Okay, wait, okay, I've got nothing else. Do you have
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 2: one of the two? It's Evil Dead right because it's referencing.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 1: Yes, Now, can you have a zombie movie with an
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: underground secret basse under a city where an evil disease
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: gets out?
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 2: Oh? Oh, like Resident Evil Dead? I got It's two
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 2: zombie movies.
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: Zombie never said another one couldn't be Oh, you're always
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: gonna twist at the end walking me through that where
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: it's like he'll clearly put together the base under a
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: city with like people dying and we just watched this
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: an evil little connect. But I'm like, and Evil Dead's
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: well known enough you might know it.
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 4: What's funny is I was actually thinking of House of
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 4: the Dead, which which is very similar the the Ova
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 4: Bowl movie. It's teens partying on an island. You know,
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 4: turns out there's there's a research based underground and exactly
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 4: like you said, and I was like, huh, House of
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 4: the Evil Dead.
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, I can reveal the score if you really
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 2: need me to. Paul Blart was worth twenty.
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: Actually it was a secret bonus one. Uh, Aaron does
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: taking away in this time is what we say. It
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: was a four point five to two good game. There
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: was a half point.
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 4: There that was that was pretty tough. I considered, I'm
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 4: surprised we got as many as we did. To be fair,
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 4: it started so rough.
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: I think I think another good game would have just
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: been like, here's a zombie the title?
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 2: Is it real? That I make it up?
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: Because I think anything I say like would have been
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: real because someone had made it.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's a pretty good marker of press play.
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 3: Is good enough?
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: Ha ha ha, it's fun pun enough. Mind, That's why
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: we do this. I don't care who wins or loses.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: I want to make stupid jokes for my friends. Captain
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: Planet Art was another one of those. It was just like,
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: I love.
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 4: This could have gone pure Nightmare of fuel and been like,
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 4: I'm going to mix up kids movies with a zombie movie.
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: I mean before Time Zombie Land.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 2: Before Time is where that started. It was like, what
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 2: is the what are like innocent movies? I could funk with.
