• 7:58
  Speaker 8: Mary Howard tracked them and then the FBI was called in.
• 8:01
  Speaker 8: It turns out they found out who they were and
• 8:03
  Speaker 8: they were having a meeting to swap the eighty two
• 8:06
  Speaker 8: thousand dollars worth of costumes for the kit car from
• 8:09
  Speaker 8: Night Rider. So in the desert, the Larry Duke's teamster
• 8:12

• 8:15
  Speaker 8: got binoculars. Looking down at the desert, the two semis
• 8:17
  Speaker 8: back up to each other. The uniforms come out of
• 8:19
  Speaker 8: one semi and the kit car comes out of the
• 8:21
  Speaker 8: other semi. The FBI approaches and arrests everybody. True story,
• 8:26
  Speaker 8: How great is that?
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: So there you go.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: That's insane.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, somebody who's sold eighty two thousand dollars worth of
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: Starfleet uniforms for the kid.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: That's gotta be worth an episode of CSI or NCIS
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: or FBI. Yeah, I mean, honestly, CBS has all those shows.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Make it happen.
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: Well, they've got the.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: Star Trek ones for sure, I think the Kit Cars NBC.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: So they'll have to swap it up for something else.
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: Maybe maybe a'll do like the Magnum.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: P I Car yeah or something, yeah, something.
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: Something that they have the rights. But either way, I
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: guarantee that's being pitched.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that would be great.
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: Oh, it's it's a great story. It's hilarious.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Oh my goodness.
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so a good bit. And then, uh, one the
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: last news story I wanted to bring up.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: I know people were interested in this and uh and
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: people were talking about it. But you know, there's currently
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: a petition right now to try to get uh Starfleet
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: Academy back to get a third season. Uh the petition
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: right now, let's see, the petition sits at just over
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: forty two thousand, which there was a story going around
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: to just after we after we hit the left the
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: area yet last time, Red Letter Media was talking about
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: their insider source saying that they had viewership numbers for
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: Star Trek Academy and that for all ten episodes cumulatively
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: only four hundred thousand people watched the episodes, so not
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: per episode, four hundred thousand total for all ten episodes,
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: so roughly about forty thousand viewers per episode. So it
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: seems like everybody watched it, signed the sign the petition.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Like every member of Trek Cast watched it. That was it.
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: That was it.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: So a lot of people are are saying, wow, we
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: got forty two thousand signatures.
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: That's really good. For sure, they'll have to bring it
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: back now.
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: I just want to give you a perspective that that's
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: forty two thousand people wanting the show back. Let me
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: give you another show that also had a petition that
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: did not return despite its its fans wanting it.
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: That would be The Acolyte, who currently sits at eighty
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: five thousand signatures, and that shows coming back. Yeah, so yeah, yeah,
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: it's just it just was not as popular as people
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: hoped it would.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: You know, as as low as these numbers are, it's
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: starting to make me think that, you know, maybe we
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Trek Cast had something to do with its demise. Maybe
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: our influence.
• 11:28
  Speaker 9: Yeah sure, sure, I mean based on the numbers, well, the.
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: Numbers are not good, you know. Yeah, it's it's pretty
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: rough that they're uh, they're so they're so low. So
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: I just wanted to share that perspective. So people kind
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: of knew, you know when they when they debated online
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: is as nerds love to do.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, but that's.
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: That's all the news stories. Should we get to the
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: main topic.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: I guess Okay, come on.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: Your idea.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: I will now.
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: Comment you are one hundred percent right.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: It was his idea, it was my idea. And if if,
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: if you guys need to fire me for this, then
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: I understand.
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: So I got this or did you see it as
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: a kid?
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: If I saw it as a kid, I do not
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: remember a single frame of it.
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: Well that's because the mind forgets trauma.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I don't think i've ever seen this.
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: I saw this in the theater, so I was disappointed,
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: h thirty nine years ago and.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: Disappointed again last night.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, I I also saw it in the theater.
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: SA in the theater as well.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: What did you do thirty nine years ago?
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: Oh this is the first movie. Like you have to remember,
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: I was I was six when this came out, right,
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: So like as a six year old, you're you're prime
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: to just love anything, right, Yeah, this was the first
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: movie that made me realize, oh, movies can be bad.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, even as a kid. Literally as a kid, I
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: turned to my nause. My aunt took me to see it.
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: And I asked her, can we go to another theater
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: maybe they have a better version of the movie. Is
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: that I didn't realize it was the same.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Movie, right, right?
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: So that's funny too. Yeah.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: The very first scene I remember, the very first scene
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: of this movie is.
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: Castle Grayskull is right, And I can remember being ten
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: years old and thinking to myself.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: What the hell is that?
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's fun not Castle Graysco. I have Castle Greyskill
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: at home. I've see Castle gray School five days a
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: week for the.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: Last three years. That's that's not what it looks like.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: And that was not it.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: So it was kind of, you know, it's kind of
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: all downhill. Yeah there, So the plot and then go
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: into it or just tear it apart?
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: What do you how do you want to Let's just
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: tear it apart this movie. If they're watching this, they know,
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: you know.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: I don't want to upset my good pal Robbie mcdunk.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, this is what his first movie wasn't it.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: I believe. So yeah, yeah, which, Okay, can I give
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: this a compliment? Sandwich? Real quick? Can I can I
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: give this the.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: I got some good things to say about it.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Okay, this had This had some decent ingredients.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: I thought.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: I thought it was. It was a very simple, basic plot,
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: and because I was able to follow it, like, good
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: guys have this thing that the bad guys had and
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: they need it, and then they go to another dimension
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: and it's something unfamiliar to them, and then they lose
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: the thing, and then they get the thing back, and
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: then the bad guys coming to get the thing, and
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: then they need the thing to do the thing that
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: I sort of understood, you know. So so I had
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: a pretty basic, understandable, non convoluted plot. I thought there
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: were There was at least thirty nine seconds of real
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: decent acting throughout the movie. There were a couple of
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: moments that I thought, these these people are really acting.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: I actually enjoyed Robert Duncan McNeill's performance. I liked this character.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: I liked Monica's performance. I mean, what's her face from Friends?
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: I thought she it was interesting. You know, Dolph Lungren
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: is Dolph Luck Right, Uh, we're supposed to be dubbed
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: and they ran out of money. Yes, yep, there was
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: a lot of hey, we ran out of money in
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: this movie.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: But good, go ahead continue.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Uh No, that's that's all I had to say, the
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: good the good parts, So.
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: I'll give you my good parts. Frank Langella as Skeletor
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: killed it.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah.
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: Did he sound like did he sound like Skeleton from
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: the comic? He didn't, he absolutely did. If he tried to,
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: it probably would have been awful. Did he sound like
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: an evil maniac bent on world domination? Yeah, yeah he did.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: He's got some acting chops, so he was good.
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: The guy who played Man at Arms, he sold it
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: to me as like old old soldiers, old tired soldier.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, and we nailed that.
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: When when Tila is disgusted by eating ribs, he's like, hey,
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: when you're hungry, you know.
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: Eat Yeah.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought that.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: I like that one where they said why do they
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: put the meat? Why did they put this stuff on
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: those white sticks? And he goes, they're not sticks, their bones.
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah, And even with the other he's like it tasted good.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: So in that's Dean in particular, I was I thought
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: I was watching it just last night. I had to think,
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: So in Gwilder's mind, is the barbecue sauce blood?
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: I don't know, because you wouldn't You wouldn't know.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: You sure drank it.
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he drank it.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: You're like, this is good? Yeah?
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: And for those of you watching, I just put a
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: poll up on our apparently we have a new feature
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: now and in stream.
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: Yard where you can put poles in your show. So
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: there's a pool right now. Did you like Masters at
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: the Universe nineteen eighty seven? Hell?
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: Or it's awful, So you guys can go vote on that.
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: So so.
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah, So Frank Glenzella was good, The guy played Man
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: at Arms was good. Wildore was kind of Wildore was
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: kind of silly. I think he was the stand in
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: for Porko. Yeah, you know, And and I still don't
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: know what the what the issue was. There's there's two
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: there's two possibilities with this. Either they recognized that they
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: didn't have the technology to pull off Orco in nineteen
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: eighty seven, so they so they left him out.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: Or it might have been a rights issue because most
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: of these characters were owned by Mattel.
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: Certain characters that were created for the show were owned
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: by Filmation. So if you look at if you look
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: at the date stamp on beach he man figures. Most
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: of them say nineteen eighty one, Mattel, but some characters
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: like Orco, say nineteen.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: Eighty three Filmation.
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: Oh okay, so.
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: I think resolved. He's all these years later, this Filmation
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: doesn't exist anymore. But at the time, I think there
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: were some some rights issues.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah, No, I think you're right. I think
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: you're right. I think they had the right to the toys,
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: and they have the right to the cartoon, and which
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: is why.
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: The theme song is not there by the Power of
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: Gray still is not there, right, because I have the power?
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: I think I have the power? Is Is it generic
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: enough phrase?
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: Yep?
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: You know he's literally in that scene he's taking the
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: power back from the castle, So I have the power.
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: It's not a catchphrase. He's just saying what he's doing.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah. What else about this movie? You could tell there
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: was a lot of hey, we ran out of money.
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, big fight at the end, the big fight again.
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: You can tell when the background changes it gets dark,
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: it's because they shot out on a handicam six weeks later.
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: Mm hmm, it's like we got another two thousand bucks.
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: Let's see right, let's be his last battle.
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and that wasn't Franklinjello when he was fighting. It
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: was a stunt guy because they couldn't get frank back.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: So, oh, let me ask you this. Did you guys
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: see the post credit scene?
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: I I did not know that existed in five years ago,
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: and so I finally watched it for the first time
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: last night.
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: So Skeletor Skeletor pops up out of the water and says,
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: I'll be back like like he's arm sports thinger.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: A nice now.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the cast was they they began a sequel to this.
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: They did it. Yes, yes, there.
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: Was a script. There was a pre production at some point.
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: They didn't shut production down, but they rewrote the script
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: so much that it morphed into a completely different movie.
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: So the movie Cyborg by Jean Claude Bond with John
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: Claudevondahm is actually.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: Masters of the Universe Part two.
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and in some places it's still listed as Masters
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: of the Universe Part two colon Cyborg. So even if
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: you go out, if you search for Masters of the Universe,
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: Cyborg comes up as a suggestion, probably because in the
• 21:36
  Speaker 6: text description somewhere, the metadata somewhere, it references.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: That that's that's funny.
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: With that, Dan, what do you think the plot was
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: supposed to be? Were we getting Vaker I don't know,
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: or were we getting Roboto or maybe the two of them?
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: I don't know, because the end of this the end.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: Of this movie.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, there's a bunch of plot holes.
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: So at the end, at the end, Willdor sends sends
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: Kevin and uh and what's her name and Monica back
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: to Earth and sends them back to an earlier point
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: in time so she can prevent.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: Her parents from from dying.
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but if you but if you do that, then
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: then they're not in the cemetery to find the key
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: in three weeks when he Man and everyone arrives. So
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: they wiped out the whole timeline of this movie. That
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: and if the cosmic key has the ability to travel
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: through time as well as space, why didn't they go
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: back in time and prevent from taking.
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: Custom Gray Skull in the first place?
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, okay, I don't.
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: Know, Yeah, I don't know. Well, and then.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: This movie suffers from one of the things that I
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: had this issue one of my own scripts where they
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: have two of the magic item write skelet has a
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: copy of the Magic of the Cosmic key, and then
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: they've got the prototype that they're looking for.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: So it's like dueling mcguffins.
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: Right, it's it's a problem. You really want to only
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: have one. So then that way, you know, as the audience,
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: they've got the thing, they have the power right now, right,
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: they're in the lead. So because there's two, it's confusing,
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: which totally was in this one. And then the second one,
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: like hardly ever gets used except the one time when
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: Skelter shows.
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: Up on Earth.
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, for for a parade through town where there's
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: right nobody nobody, nobody notices the Thanksgiving Day parade of
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: aliens just walking down the streets in Maybury, USA, wherever
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: this wherever this took place.
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: But the one thing that I thought was fun though
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: when they were on Earth, it was a subtle thing.
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: I don't know if they did it intentionally, but there's
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: a scene where all the bad guys are coming out
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: like that. They got the stormtroopers and all these people
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: and right behind them, it says H and R Block
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: tax relief. So it looks like we're coming to collector
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: tax those people.
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: So I thought that was kind of bunny.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a type of movie that I would
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: have had to watch twice in order to sort of like,
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: you know, get all the the nuances of everything. But
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: the odds of me watching it twice are slim. Yeah.
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: So, so, Scott, what was your what was your biggest
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: critique of the movie since you watched it with fresh
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: eyes you know this week?
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: Wow, Well there's the overall general eighties sci fi action
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: like you know, you loving. Yeah, yeah, it was. They
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: had eighties just written all over it. You know.
• 25:07
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: He man had a lot of arm butter all over
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: his body. Yes, a lot of arm butter. You know,
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Dan touched John it before about like it not you
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: like the cartoon because everybody, you know was looking for
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: the cartoon stuff, and you know, they're looking at the sword,
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: they're looking at the costumes. I did. I did, like
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: you know, some of the actors. The acting was the actors.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: A lot of the actors were pretty good. I liked
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: evil In even though she's got a bad guy named
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: evil In, right, but she uh I looked her up too.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: On IMDb. She was in the Deep Space nine episode
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: The Muse. She was the one that was stealing Jake
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: Cisco's aura as he was writing. That was her. And
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: an interesting fact about her is her eyes. She doesn't
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: she wasn't wearing contacts in the movie. That's the way
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: her eyes look naturally. So I thought that was interesting.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: And so there's there's others. What's that there's other truck alums.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, Franklin was.
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: Minister first Minister such and such on Deep Space nine. Yeah,
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: tried to launch the uh coup.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: And then the guy who played Blade in this movie.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: Was maj Color. He was that's right, Suska's boyfriend.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I feel like you guys need this warning warning
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: nerd alert, nerd alert.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: Frank also has a Superman connection too, Yes, yeah, very well.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: It was Para White and in Superman Returns.
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: Wasn't who guildor wasn't he Bill Billy Bardy? I feel
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: like he was.
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: The guy who played Card that was the bad guy
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: with the big poofy white hair.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he played a Ferengi in UH in early.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: Episode Okay, okay, back when the Frankie were scary. Yeah,
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: he may not know this. Also, but the guy that
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: played the boyfriend, uh, he played Nick Locarno in an
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: episode of the Next Generation called The First Duty. Yes, yeah,
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: my boy Uh Robbie Robbie mcdonk Yeah.
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: So uh I gotta ask, uh, Scott, does this make
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: you want to see the new he Man move even
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: more more?
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: Because I feel like I need it as a palate cleanser.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: I feel like I feel like I had to see,
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: you know, because I grew up on the eighties cartoons.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: I've seen every episode of he Man. It's It's in
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: my top five cartoons of the eighties. When I was
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: a kid, you know, it was always he Man. I'm
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: personally waiting for the live action of ThunderCats. That that's
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: my number one cartoon of all time when I was
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: a little kid, the ThunderCats. But I feel like I
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: feel like the showrunners today, the movie producers today, have
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: have their finger on the pulse of what the people
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: want as far as like remakes of old crap, and
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: so that's why they're paying attention to get every little
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: detail right. They're going to get the sword right, They're
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: going to get the costume right, They're going to get
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: the looks right, so and hopefully they got good writers
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: and we'll just make a good story.
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, hopefully the credit.
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: Cards for Simlar Century. Thank you for listening. International Airport.
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: Oh sorry guy, Yeah, yeah, it's really fine.

• 29:11
  Speaker 5: I don't know. I don't know.
• 29:13

• 29:38
  Speaker 5: I just got to look it up.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: So this movie was made in nineteen eighty seven. It
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: had a budget of twenty two million and a box
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: office of seventeen.
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: Point three million, so it was a pretty big flop.
• 29:51
  Speaker 6: Yes, especially for especially for box then Wye made more
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: money than Start Fish.
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: Right, that's right.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: Quiet guy says never watched any version of He Man,

  Speaker 2: because I imagine that you don't have to. You know,
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: I don't think my kids know anything about he Man,
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: even though there had been iterations of he Man since then,
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: you know, yeah, anime style and different animation styles and stuff,
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: but I don't think they ever got into it. But
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be a fun movie, you know.
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: Speaking of becoming like he Man, they recently launched become
• 30:45

  Speaker 5: Day, No, never, never.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: And what's really funny is like one of the questions
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: on there was like, if you had a weapon, would
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: it be a sword?
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: An axe?
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: Like it had all these like options very clearly. Okay,
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: what do you want is to put in your hand?
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: I love that you're still you're like in this battle,
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: like you're running into battle. You still have your your
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: prescription classes on.
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: That's right, Well you have to see the danger.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I just thought that was Yeah.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: Wait, what what was your name in that? Did they
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: give you an attorney a name?
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: Let me give you a name?
• 32:20
  Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, let the audience know what that was.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: It was Duke Parrito, Duke Prido, protector of Central.
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: All right, I can't protect all of but Central I
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: got you.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: Yes, all of it?
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: Too much, it's just too much.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well maybe that's why Dan and I have to, uh,
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: you know, get on this bandwagon. And he's got the east,
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: I got the west. Yeah, we'll take care of that's
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: south central alternio, right, we stay away from that area.
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: That's right, we've given up.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: Oh boy, so yeah, I'll put the.
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: Link in the in the Facebook group. People can go
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: and become a journey and if they want to.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: Another Star Trek connection is the Skeletor mask. Skeletor mask
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: was used in WARF's Holideck program as one of the
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: the face of one of the monsters he fought.
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: Oh that's right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: I don't know. It might have been the one where
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: he shared it with Riker, you know, or maybe Klar,
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: but yeah, it was one of the monsters had that mask.
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: So oh that's interesting, so fun fun fact, so disappoint
• 33:48
  Speaker 6: in the movie where Skeletor walks into the throne room
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: and his staff is handed to him by a character
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: who's very short in stature, did you did you catch that.
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: Big characters?
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: Yes, the character is called pig Boy. And what's interest
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: thing about pig Boy. Pig Boy is an actual boy
• 34:11
  Speaker 6: who won a contest to have a part in the uh.
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: In the movie.
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I was a semi finalist. I won a he
• 34:22
  Speaker 6: Man action figure as part of the Oh no, I
• 34:26
  Speaker 6: did not win the trip to la and you were part.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: Of the same contest. That's awesome, So.
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: But what's what's funny? Is okay.
• 34:36
  Speaker 6: So he Man in the Masters of the Universe was
• 34:39

• 41:50
  Speaker 10: all the food there. We can't have that because they

  Speaker 10: charge us for all food slim rates. So when we
• 41:54
  Speaker 10: get a ghost, we bring the ghost back here to
• 41:56
  Speaker 10: our headquarters. We open up the containment unit, we insert
• 42:00
  Speaker 10: the trap. The light turns red. That indicates it's ready
• 42:04
  Speaker 10: to be received into the system. So what you do
• 42:06
  Speaker 10: is you lock the door, you set the entry grid,
• 42:09
  Speaker 10: neutronize the field, and when the light is green, the
• 42:13
  Speaker 10: trap is clean stored here in our custom made storage facility.
