Speaker 1: The Large Nerd Drunk Collider podcast is a production of
0:10
Speaker 1: I Heart Radio. Hey everybody, welcome to The Large Nerd
0:22
Speaker 1: Drunk Collider, the podcast that's all about the geeky things
0:24
Speaker 1: happening in the world around us and how very excited
0:27
Speaker 1: we are about them. I'm Ariel casting and with me
0:31
Speaker 1: is always is Jonathan. He survived Hallow me Night Strickland.
0:37
Speaker 1: I ain't spooky no more. Nope, Well, Ariel, after surviving Halloween,
0:44
Speaker 1: I now have a question for you. We've left behind
0:53
Speaker 1: the spooky season, so this one here is a is
0:55
Speaker 1: a just a geeky question. Can you tell me why
1:00
Speaker 1: is one of your favorite aliens from science fiction? You
1:03
Speaker 1: don't have to pick a favorite, but one of your
1:06
Speaker 1: favorites and explain why you like it so much Doctor
1:10
Speaker 1: Who because he's to dreaming Me good night, Doctor because
1:14
Speaker 1: he's dreaming. I was about to say, like, there's been
1:16
Speaker 1: a lot of Doctor Who's you want to start narrowing
1:18
Speaker 1: that down. I mean, actually, like I don't I don't
1:22
Speaker 1: know if that would actually be my favorite favorite, because
1:25
Speaker 1: like that was just the easy answer to hum. It
1:30
Speaker 1: is a toss up between Alf and the Little Bat
1:33
Speaker 1: Creature and Flight of the Navigator and alf I'm sure
1:36
Speaker 1: would not hold up today. But I haven't watched it
1:40
Speaker 1: since I was a child, and so while I have
1:42
Speaker 1: are these like childlike fond memories of this weird, sarcastic
1:48
Speaker 1: muppet alien that eats cats. Um Gordon some way to
1:53
Speaker 1: his friends Gordon some way and for some reason, though
1:57
Speaker 1: I you know, I probably would not have been able
1:59
Speaker 1: to tell you that his friend name was Gordon Chamway.
2:02
Speaker 1: Like that still just holds a delightful part place in
2:05
Speaker 1: my heart, you know. And the little back creature from
2:09
Speaker 1: from Why the Navigator? Because really, you put a back
2:12
Speaker 1: creature in anything? I like it. Look at fern Gully,
2:14
Speaker 1: look at Anastasia. The bats were the best part. Um
2:19
Speaker 1: dr who is my favorite person type alien because um,
2:26
Speaker 1: it's it goes back to my hope Blake Peter Pan
2:28
Speaker 1: complex of wanting to go away and travel distant fantastical
2:31
Speaker 1: lands and never grow up and never grow up. I
2:37
Speaker 1: can't see, but I just did the Peter Pan post.
2:40
Speaker 1: It's funny because Ariel loves Peter Pan and I love
2:42
Speaker 1: Captain Hook and yet we're like best friends. So that
2:46
Speaker 1: is weird. Okay, Well, my one of my favorites not
2:51
Speaker 1: my favorite favorite, but one of my favorites would be
2:53
Speaker 1: the Bogans from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Those are
2:58
Speaker 1: the aliens that are given a job to demolish the
3:01
Speaker 1: Earth to make way for a essentially a galactic highway.
3:05
Speaker 1: Um so, so is that just because you like really
3:08
Speaker 1: bad poetry? That's that's the thing is that I think
3:12
Speaker 1: it's the fact that the Bogans torture people by making
3:17
Speaker 1: them listen to Vogan poetry, which is largely believed to
3:21
Speaker 1: be the worst poetry in the universe. And I just
3:24
Speaker 1: think that's really funny. I think that, like Douglas Adams
3:27
Speaker 1: wrote some really funny stuff, and I happen to really
3:31
Speaker 1: like that particular joke. So that's that's what my kind
3:35
Speaker 1: of one of my answers. I mean, there are a
3:37
Speaker 1: lot of aliens that I think are kind of cool,
3:39
Speaker 1: Like I like various incarnations of Klingons, although there's been
3:43
Speaker 1: a lot of different kinds of Clingon's, so they're not
3:47
Speaker 1: all the same. Actually, Doctor who is not my favorite
3:50
Speaker 1: human type alien. It's que. Yeah, Qu's good too, like,
3:56
Speaker 1: and of course Q is like particularly complicated because we
4:00
Speaker 1: don't fully understand what Q is like he's part of
4:02
Speaker 1: the Q continuum, but that suggests that all of the
4:06
Speaker 1: Q are Q, and yet he still can get in
4:09
Speaker 1: trouble with Q. Yeah, I don't. I don't pretend to
4:13
Speaker 1: really understand. Maybe it's because of my my feeble human mind.
4:16
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's a good answer to So. Yeah, curious
4:19
Speaker 1: to hear what our listeners like some of their favorite
4:21
Speaker 1: aliens and science fiction who they might be. But we've
4:25
Speaker 1: got a lot of news to cover, and we've got
4:28
Speaker 1: a discussion to hold where we're gonna hang on a
4:31
Speaker 1: little bit longer to the spooky season and then we're
4:34
Speaker 1: gonna have a mashup. So let's start that off with
4:37
Speaker 1: some some news, and we've got a couple of things
4:40
Speaker 1: to talk about. I think the thing I want to
4:42
Speaker 1: lead off with is just to get out of the way,
4:44
Speaker 1: is that we have this story about the Eternals, Uh,
4:48
Speaker 1: the new Marvel film. The early reviews for it have
4:53
Speaker 1: been lukewarm. I would say, like it's almost a fifty
4:57
Speaker 1: fifty split between fresh and rotten reviews, And if you
5:01
Speaker 1: look at the actual reviews or eternals, there's not a
5:05
Speaker 1: lot of difference between the negative ones and the positive ones.
5:09
Speaker 1: Which just reminds us that the way Rotten Tomatoes works
5:11
Speaker 1: is it aggregates all the the positive scores and all
5:17
Speaker 1: the negative scores and determines the percentage by that. So like,
5:21
Speaker 1: if the movie rates fifty percent, that doesn't mean it's
5:25
Speaker 1: fifty percent good or fifty percent bad. It means fifty
5:28
Speaker 1: of their critics gave it a positive review and gave
5:31
Speaker 1: it a negative review. So just because a movie has
5:35
Speaker 1: a certain score doesn't mean it's you know, better or
5:37
Speaker 1: worse than another movie with a you know, slightly lower
5:41
Speaker 1: slightly higher score. That all the way, internals not looking
5:46
Speaker 1: so great in some of the early reviews. Yeah yeah,
5:50
Speaker 1: so earlier this week they were still rating about the
5:53
Speaker 1: same as Thord Dark World, which, yeah, I enjoyed it.
5:59
Speaker 1: It wasn't a good movie, v but it wasn't about
6:01
Speaker 1: It was like a popcorn movie, like it could take
6:03
Speaker 1: it or leave it. It was a fun two hours
6:05
Speaker 1: for me and that was it. I know other people,
6:08
Speaker 1: most other people would disagree, but now they're at eternals.
6:11
Speaker 1: Is actually rating lower than that because Dark World was
6:14
Speaker 1: the lowest rating official m c U Marvel movie, which
6:20
Speaker 1: is weird because Iron Man two was a thing yeah,
6:23
Speaker 1: I like Iron Man two way less. My My husband
6:26
Speaker 1: would fight me too. The nail about that he thinks
6:28
Speaker 1: dark World is way for a dark World is way
6:30
Speaker 1: worse than Iron Man too. But I fell asleep during
6:33
Speaker 1: Iron Man two in the theater and then again at home.
6:37
Speaker 1: I'm not entirely certain. I've watched all the way through
6:40
Speaker 1: it in one sitting. There's there's like one really good
6:45
Speaker 1: character in Iron Man too, and he's a secondary villain.
6:49
Speaker 1: And that's the best I can say about that movie.
6:52
Speaker 1: I think it introduced black Widow just fine. Sure. And
6:57
Speaker 1: so now we're talking about Eternals, which obviously this is
7:00
Speaker 1: that movie where it's about a race of immortal beings
7:04
Speaker 1: who visited Earth thousands of years ago, and it's their
7:07
Speaker 1: job to take down these evil alien critters and protect
7:12
Speaker 1: humanity from the evil alien critters, but otherwise not to
7:16
Speaker 1: intervene in human affairs, which apparently is why they didn't,
7:20
Speaker 1: you know, bother to deal with anything with Thanos showed up,
7:24
Speaker 1: because apparently wiping out half the universe's life forms isn't
7:28
Speaker 1: important enough. I don't get that. Apparently there's a line
7:32
Speaker 1: in the movie that's going to kind of explain that
7:36
Speaker 1: you did watch what If, Jonathan, Like, the Watchers just
7:40
Speaker 1: watch an entire universes have been destroyed and they haven't
7:43
Speaker 1: stepped in, right, But the Eternals, the Eternals actively fight
7:47
Speaker 1: monsters in order to protect humanity. So the monsters are bad,
7:52
Speaker 1: but Thanos, who wipes out half the universe's life, isn't bad.
7:56
Speaker 1: That's what That's what gets me because the Watcher is passive.
8:00
Speaker 1: The Watcher just watches and takes note of what's happening. Right.
8:03
Speaker 1: But yeah, the most of the reviews seem to say
8:07
Speaker 1: that the the movie, which clocks in at like two
8:11
Speaker 1: hours thirty seven minutes, is this sprawling mess and it's
8:15
Speaker 1: one of the classic problems where you've got all these
8:17
Speaker 1: characters that the movie is introducing. It can't really spend
8:21
Speaker 1: a lot of time on every single character to give
8:24
Speaker 1: us a real feel for each of them, Like we
8:27
Speaker 1: get little character moments that indicate the kind of people
8:30
Speaker 1: they are. But uh that that apparently the plot, what
8:35
Speaker 1: little there is, it gets lost in a lot of
8:39
Speaker 1: messy shuffle. So you know, it's not the worst reviewed movie.
8:43
Speaker 1: It's not like they're saying this is a terrible film,
8:46
Speaker 1: but rather it's a film that doesn't really work. Yeah,
8:50
Speaker 1: I mean, so it could still be enjoyable if you
8:53
Speaker 1: go in with low expectations. That being said, it is
8:55
Speaker 1: two minutes longer than June, which is famously long. Uh yeah,
9:01
Speaker 1: and Dune's apart one. I have a feeling like from
9:04
Speaker 1: what I've heard, that this movie would have been better
9:07
Speaker 1: served if it had been split apart into two films,
9:11
Speaker 1: and then things could have fleshed out a little bit
9:14
Speaker 1: so that you would have a little more room. But
9:16
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously that's a huge risk to take, right
9:18
Speaker 1: to go ahead and green light two movies about a
9:22
Speaker 1: group of characters that that I think the vast majority
9:26
Speaker 1: of mc U audience has no idea who these people are.
9:30
Speaker 1: Like I know, I didn't. I mean, I'm a casual
9:34
Speaker 1: Marvel fan. Uh, probably a little bit more than say,
9:37
Speaker 1: your average person going to see a Marvel movie, but
9:40
Speaker 1: I am by no means an expert. I had no
9:42
Speaker 1: idea who the eternals were. I I didn't really have
9:45
Speaker 1: a good idea either. You know, I've researched into it,
9:48
Speaker 1: and watching those through lines, I can I can enjoy
9:52
Speaker 1: it much the same way I watch like Doom Patrol,
9:54
Speaker 1: which by the way I watched your Sister's episode and
9:56
Speaker 1: it was brilliant, but you know, the i'll introduced characters
10:01
Speaker 1: or lines and doom patrol that even though I'm not
10:02
Speaker 1: familiar going in, I can appreciate that they've put it
10:05
Speaker 1: in there and why they've put it in there, and
10:07
Speaker 1: how it ties in usually and if I am dbing
10:10
Speaker 1: or googling throughout the episode. Um, but yeah, with this one,
10:14
Speaker 1: I don't know even like the lines of like who
10:18
Speaker 1: is that character with the three six dots on its
10:21
Speaker 1: face for eyeballs? You know, like, Okay, that's who it is?
10:24
Speaker 1: Do I care? I mean? But that being said, even
10:28
Speaker 1: Marvel's misses are fine, So yeah, yeah, yeah, there there
10:34
Speaker 1: hasn't been a total, like outright terrible movie to come out.
10:40
Speaker 1: There have been some that have been less than satisfying
10:43
Speaker 1: and like you could take it or leave it, but
10:46
Speaker 1: not a whole lot of things where you walk away saying, wow,
10:48
Speaker 1: what a huge misfire. So I'm hoping that, uh, there
10:53
Speaker 1: are enough moments in this movie to make me appreciate it.
10:58
Speaker 1: I also hope that we see how it ties into
11:01
Speaker 1: the larger mc U if it if it does effectively,
11:05
Speaker 1: I've heard that there's essentially not much tie in until
11:08
Speaker 1: you get to the you know, almost requisite post credit sequence.
11:13
Speaker 1: But I haven't seen it yet. Um, it comes out
11:16
Speaker 1: the day after this episode comes out, so we can
11:20
Speaker 1: see if if you have the opportunity to go see
11:23
Speaker 1: it at like a rented theater, would you do so? Uh,
11:28
Speaker 1: depends on who's renting it, fair enough, Yeah, because because
11:33
Speaker 1: you know, some people like listen, I like watching movies.
11:36
Speaker 1: I don't like talking during them, even if it's unless
11:39
Speaker 1: it's a really bad movie, in which case then it's fine. Uh.
11:43
Speaker 1: And so I don't really find going to movies with
11:45
Speaker 1: big groups of people to be that satisfying and experience
11:48
Speaker 1: because it's one of those things where you're spending time
11:50
Speaker 1: with people you love, but you can't do anything because
11:53
Speaker 1: there's a movie playing. So but that's a discussion for
11:58
Speaker 1: another time. We've got some more stories to talk about.
12:01
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Cowboy Bebop. We didn't talk about this
12:04
Speaker 1: last week, but the actual trailer for the series dropped,
12:08
Speaker 1: not just the teaser, which we talked about in a
12:11
Speaker 1: previous episode. Why did you think of the trailer? Um? Honestly,
12:14
Speaker 1: I like the teaser better because I liked the way
12:16
Speaker 1: they played with the camera frame. Now the trailer looks fine.
12:19
Speaker 1: It looks like How Boy Bebop? To me, um, now
12:24
Speaker 1: mind you like I I watched Cowboy Bebop. It's been
12:27
Speaker 1: a while. I actually need to. It's kind of on
12:29
Speaker 1: my to do list to go back and rewatch it
12:31
Speaker 1: and remind myself of the story. So maybe it takes
12:35
Speaker 1: far leaps and bounds, but like, just totally it feels
12:37
Speaker 1: like How Boy Bebop. I'm excited about it. I like
12:40
Speaker 1: the casting. Um, it looks action noirri and I'm all
12:45
Speaker 1: about that sci fi and I'm all about all of
12:47
Speaker 1: those things. So um, I'm I'm very much looking forward
12:51
Speaker 1: to it. What about you? I really dug the aesthetic
12:55
Speaker 1: and I dug the tone. It made me think of
12:58
Speaker 1: things like a little bit of Blade Runner, a little
13:00
Speaker 1: bit of Star Wars, a New Hope, like when Star
13:04
Speaker 1: Wars was still kind of a little gritty, Like I
13:07
Speaker 1: think of the Moss Eisley Cantina sequence where we're introduced
13:10
Speaker 1: to Hans Solo and everything. It felt kind of like that,
13:13
Speaker 1: like there's a little bit of there's an edge of
13:16
Speaker 1: humor to it, but there's action. Uh. I love the visuals.
13:20
Speaker 1: I felt like, for a streaming series and for a
13:25
Speaker 1: science fiction one, a that the visuals look great like
13:29
Speaker 1: it it looks. It made me think again of Star Wars,
13:31
Speaker 1: where things look like they have been used right. It's
13:35
Speaker 1: like a lived in universe. Not everything is this gleaming
13:39
Speaker 1: chrome everywhere. Um, which is how I would contrast that
13:44
Speaker 1: with a different streaming series that we watched a trailer
13:47
Speaker 1: for for this episode, which I'll just go ahead and
13:50
Speaker 1: segue into the Wheel of Time series, like we watched
13:54
Speaker 1: that trailer just before we started recording, and or I
13:57
Speaker 1: did anyway, And I felt like that one felt too clean,
14:02
Speaker 1: Like there are a couple of sequences where you see
14:04
Speaker 1: characters who look like they've been through some stuff, but
14:08
Speaker 1: most of the shots everyone looks like they're immaculate. And
14:11
Speaker 1: also it's shot on super high definition video, not film,
14:17
Speaker 1: and because it feels like it must be a high
14:20
Speaker 1: frame rate too, because as I was watching and I
14:22
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, this all looks like everyone's costume looks
14:26
Speaker 1: too nice and it looks to video E. So I'm
14:31
Speaker 1: getting the Hobbit at forty eight frames per second vibes
14:35
Speaker 1: from it, which I don't like. So so I agree
14:38
Speaker 1: with you. So I watched you watch it on your computer,
14:41
Speaker 1: and I watched it on my television, and so I
14:43
Speaker 1: didn't get quite the same amount of which is weird
14:47
Speaker 1: because normally I get more of it on my on
14:49
Speaker 1: more of it on my TV of like that Uncanny
14:51
Speaker 1: Valley location wise at least um So, when the teaser
14:56
Speaker 1: trailer for Wheel of Time first came out, it looked
14:59
Speaker 1: it looked pretty dark, looked kind of gritty. It looked
15:01
Speaker 1: more like Game of Thrones, and in fact, that's what
15:02
Speaker 1: all the reviews said. This new one, to me very
15:05
Speaker 1: much feels more like Lord of the Rings meets early
15:09
Speaker 1: Harry Potter as presented by sci Fi um listeners can't tell,
15:16
Speaker 1: but I am nodding at what Ariel is saying because
15:18
Speaker 1: because I completely agree. It looks very beautiful, you know.
15:22
Speaker 1: And part of the problem is, you know, I know
15:26
Speaker 1: that some of our fans will be disappointed to hear this.
15:28
Speaker 1: Neither Jonathan nor I have read Wheel of Time. No, no,
15:31
Speaker 1: I'm familiar with Robert Jordan's impact on the fantasy genre,
15:36
Speaker 1: but that's one series. Like I was, I was a
15:40
Speaker 1: hardcore fantasy novel fan for a good span of years,
15:44
Speaker 1: but that was one series I never got into. And
15:46
Speaker 1: these days, you know, I'll still watch stuff that's fantasy oriented,
15:50
Speaker 1: but I don't really read fantasy anymore, so I never
15:53
Speaker 1: got into Wheel of Time. So I can't judge how
15:58
Speaker 1: faithful this feels to the source material because I'm unfamiliar
16:01
Speaker 1: with the source material. All I can do is judge
16:04
Speaker 1: it based upon the merits of the trailer by itself,
16:07
Speaker 1: and it it It did not hook me, see, like
16:10
Speaker 1: like you were saying. If I had not seen the
16:14
Speaker 1: stuff about this being similar to Game of Thrones and
16:17
Speaker 1: its look based on its teaser, I never ever would
16:20
Speaker 1: have made that connection. In fact, I would say this
16:22
Speaker 1: almost feels like a one eighty from Game of Thrones
16:26
Speaker 1: as far as the look of characters, costumes, and locations.
16:31
Speaker 1: Everything looks pristine in the trailer. Yeah, yeah, I mean
16:38
Speaker 1: part of part of the reason it felt sci fi
16:39
Speaker 1: to me was also just because and I'm sure it's
16:43
Speaker 1: going to be good. You know, I've tertiarily done some
16:46
Speaker 1: stuff in like Wheel of Time, like I've been a
16:47
Speaker 1: part of a couple of events in the Wheel of
16:49
Speaker 1: Time track. I just I barely read anymore unless it's
16:51
Speaker 1: a script I spend so much time in any scripts
16:53
Speaker 1: that I get that that takes all of my reading
16:56
Speaker 1: brain lately, So I you know, like my husband, Sorry,
17:00
Speaker 1: I'm going off on a little bit of bunny trail.
17:01
Speaker 1: My husband is running this short sci fi writing contest
17:06
Speaker 1: that's been going on for months now, or each like
17:09
Speaker 1: month or every few weeks. The writers get like a
17:11
Speaker 1: new prompt and they have to write a short story.
17:14
Speaker 1: I'm still working through those, and those are all short
17:16
Speaker 1: stories by my dear friends. So big novels are hard
17:21
Speaker 1: for me. I love reading, I just I need to
17:24
Speaker 1: make I need to make time for it. But part
17:26
Speaker 1: of it is that the main cast of characters that
17:29
Speaker 1: they shown this new trailer all look very young to me,
17:31
Speaker 1: and for some reason, in my head, the characters were
17:34
Speaker 1: all adults. Now maybe as I'm getting older, young adults
17:39
Speaker 1: look more young than adult to me. I know that
17:42
Speaker 1: certainly has been an issue in the past, but like
17:44
Speaker 1: that's a large reason for it feeling like sci fi.
17:47
Speaker 1: Like what if you look at Merlin, for instance, Merlin,
17:50
Speaker 1: it's young Merlin, He's very young. Everybody's young, and people
17:56
Speaker 1: themselves are Christine sci fi series Merlin. Yeah, so when
18:02
Speaker 1: you say sci fi. You mean sci fi the channel
18:05
Speaker 1: sci Fi, not sci fi the genre sci fi. Yes,
18:09
Speaker 1: as as as presented by sci fi siffy the channel
18:13
Speaker 1: s y f y. Um. I mean, but that being said,
18:16
Speaker 1: I've enjoyed some sci fi series. Um. I even enjoyed
18:19
Speaker 1: Merlin to a degree. It just yeah, it had that
18:22
Speaker 1: very polished fantastical look, like you said, Jonathan. Um. Something
18:26
Speaker 1: that does not have a polished fantastical look is the
18:30
Speaker 1: main trail. Yeah, super gothic, the Morbius trailer. We watched it.
18:35
Speaker 1: Ariel had to watch it twice because she watched the
18:37
Speaker 1: wrong one the first time. But I got a really
18:39
Speaker 1: cool insight because I got to see how much different
18:43
Speaker 1: how much difference there were between the original and the
18:45
Speaker 1: new one, because I had nearly forgotten about the original
18:49
Speaker 1: one that came out last year in January. So it's
18:51
Speaker 1: funny because Ariel saw me like shape because we were
18:54
Speaker 1: watching it on camera at the same time, except that
18:57
Speaker 1: we weren't seeing the screens of the other person, so
19:00
Speaker 1: I didn't know at the time that Ariel had accidentally
19:03
Speaker 1: pulled up trailer number one versus trailer number two. And
19:06
Speaker 1: so I'm watching and I'm shaking my head slowly because
19:09
Speaker 1: of the music choice. And afterwards I taught the Ariel
19:12
Speaker 1: and I say, man, I can't believe they went with
19:14
Speaker 1: that music, and she said, you don't like fair at least.
19:17
Speaker 1: I'm like, wait, what trailer were you watching? Because the
19:20
Speaker 1: song that they use in trailer number two is people
19:24
Speaker 1: are Strange. And for anyone who's familiar with vampire movies,
19:29
Speaker 1: you know that that song plays a big bart in
19:32
Speaker 1: a little film called Lost Boys. It's the second Lost
19:38
Speaker 1: Boys reference I've seen in a couple of weeks, because
19:41
Speaker 1: I watched Lego Star Wars and there's an entire Lego
19:45
Speaker 1: Star Wars Halloween special thing. There's an entire sequence in
19:48
Speaker 1: that that is literally a take a parody of Lost Boys.
19:55
Speaker 1: Did you Did you enjoy Lego Terrifying Tales? Terrifying Tales?
20:00
Speaker 1: It was okay. It wasn't as good as I was
20:03
Speaker 1: hoping it would be. It wasn't as whimsical as I
20:05
Speaker 1: was hoping it would be interesting. Interesting. My my nephew
20:08
Speaker 1: watched it and he liked it because I had eight. Um,
20:11
Speaker 1: I haven't watched it yet, so the song aside, What
20:15
Speaker 1: are your thoughts on the morebious trailer because boy, I've
20:18
Speaker 1: got a lot of them. I actually I actually thought
20:21
Speaker 1: it looked kind of interesting. It's probably the first of
20:26
Speaker 1: Sony's Marvel films outside of the Spider Man ones, that
20:31
Speaker 1: I'm interested in seeing. I still don't really care to
20:33
Speaker 1: see Venom or its sequel, but this one looks intriguing
20:38
Speaker 1: to me, like there's although I don't much care for
20:42
Speaker 1: the lead actor very much at all, but I I
20:46
Speaker 1: the trailer looks intriguing. I also have to say we
20:49
Speaker 1: were gonna talk originally about a teaser for trailer number two,
20:54
Speaker 1: but that was just bleed actor talking about being in
20:57
Speaker 1: the movie, and it was in sufferable to me. Yeah, yeah,
21:02
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't care for it either, So I
21:04
Speaker 1: have much the same feeling like the story could be interesting.
21:09
Speaker 1: I do like they had little nods. I mean, they
21:11
Speaker 1: had a very like blatant nod to Spider Man Homecoming,
21:15
Speaker 1: and it obviously um because the Vulture was in the
21:18
Speaker 1: first Morbius trailer he's in this one to spoilers, um.
21:22
Speaker 1: But they had like a cool Spider Man like graffiti
21:26
Speaker 1: on the wall and in the trailer where Jared Letto
21:28
Speaker 1: is talking throughout the entire thing, he does mentioned something
21:31
Speaker 1: about like a web of a story, so they're really
21:35
Speaker 1: really trying to tie it into this Sony m c
21:38
Speaker 1: verse um. Some of the some of the humor was good.
21:42
Speaker 1: But yeah, I have a hard time emotionally connecting to
21:45
Speaker 1: Jared Letto right now. And maybe it's just because I
21:48
Speaker 1: still have a weird It's not a bad taste, it's
21:50
Speaker 1: a weird taste in my mouth after the way he
21:55
Speaker 1: method act, the way it was reported that he method
21:58
Speaker 1: acted for Suicide Squad, which is unfair potentially to him.
22:03
Speaker 1: I don't think it's unfair. I think that any actor,
22:08
Speaker 1: uh and of any gender identity, any actor who will
22:13
Speaker 1: pursue their in the the inhabiting a character at the
22:18
Speaker 1: expense of other people is not cool. Not cool, like
22:23
Speaker 1: whether that whether that other people happened to be cast
22:26
Speaker 1: or a crew or catering, or just people that you're
22:30
Speaker 1: passing on the street on your way to the set,
22:33
Speaker 1: Like if you're being a jerk face because that's what
22:38
Speaker 1: your character is. Like, you never hear about people doing
22:41
Speaker 1: that for nice characters. You didn't hear about Tom Hanks
22:44
Speaker 1: being extra nice when he was playing Mr. Rogers so
22:47
Speaker 1: he could get into character you know the only time
22:49
Speaker 1: they do that. But no, my point being, and I
22:53
Speaker 1: am I am, I am emphatic about this. The only
22:56
Speaker 1: time you hear about method acting is when some entitled
22:59
Speaker 1: jerk actor is playing an even bigger jerk character. And
23:04
Speaker 1: I suspect it's because it allows the jerk actor to
23:08
Speaker 1: embrace their inner jerk and let it be their outer jerk.
23:11
Speaker 1: And it's so rare whenever I see anyone talk about
23:14
Speaker 1: method acting outside of that context, which is why I
23:17
Speaker 1: hate it. Okay, So I'm I think there's a place
23:20
Speaker 1: for net method acting, but I think that it is
23:23
Speaker 1: often misquoted and misused and misunderstood. You also hear about
23:27
Speaker 1: actors method acting when like, um, they put themselves into
23:32
Speaker 1: extreme situations too, or pull out teeth or things like
23:36
Speaker 1: that that are not necessarily harmful to other people but
23:38
Speaker 1: are harmful to themselves to to really get involved in
23:42
Speaker 1: a situation. Um. That being said, like, since that time,
23:46
Speaker 1: I've read some articles that, oh, maybe it wasn't as
23:48
Speaker 1: bad as the media reported. So I don't know. I
23:51
Speaker 1: wasn't there, but it does make me feel like he like,
23:55
Speaker 1: that's weird, And now I'm watching and Morbous is a
23:58
Speaker 1: weird character. That being said, I really hope that Morbous
24:03
Speaker 1: Emblade tie into each other. I don't think, well, unless
24:08
Speaker 1: there's more cooperation between Sony and Disney, it's probably not
24:13
Speaker 1: going to happen. Like the indication we're getting right now
24:17
Speaker 1: is that Sony is kind of feeling out, kind of
24:21
Speaker 1: a clean break from Disney. And that's really that's sad
24:26
Speaker 1: for me because I love this incarnation of Spider Man
24:29
Speaker 1: and I would hate to see that Spider Man no
24:31
Speaker 1: longer be part of the m c U after we
24:34
Speaker 1: get past, say the next Spider Man film. Um, that
24:38
Speaker 1: would be really sad to me. But at the same time,
24:40
Speaker 1: like Sony has been trying to feel this out ever
24:42
Speaker 1: since the first Venom was a success, and the idea
24:46
Speaker 1: was that, well, if we can do this on our own,
24:48
Speaker 1: we don't need Disney, we don't have to sign these
24:50
Speaker 1: agreements that might be a little disadvantageous to us, because,
24:53
Speaker 1: let's face it, Disney always goes after the deal. So
24:58
Speaker 1: I get it from a business respective, but from a
25:00
Speaker 1: creative perspective, I am kind of sad about it. So
25:04
Speaker 1: I suspect we won't see very much crossover. I yeah,
25:10
Speaker 1: it's hard because I know that Disney wants to own
25:14
Speaker 1: all of Marvel and and so, and he's got two
25:16
Speaker 1: new untitled Marvel things coming out. So it is it
25:20
Speaker 1: is really interesting. Um, and it will be sad if
25:23
Speaker 1: they make a clean break. I know that. Um, the
25:27
Speaker 1: current Peter Parker, whose name is all of a sudden
25:30
Speaker 1: eluding me, Jonathan, help help Tom Holland, Tom Holland, thank
25:34
Speaker 1: you almost at Hilson. Tom Holland has been saying like
25:37
Speaker 1: this is the end of the journey for him, and
25:39
Speaker 1: and I've seen articles saying that they've already cast a
25:42
Speaker 1: new Spider Man and things like that. But yeah, it
25:43
Speaker 1: would be it would be sad to have him pulled
25:45
Speaker 1: out of phase four. Um. Well, I mean he's mostly
25:49
Speaker 1: he's mostly said that he doesn't it for the first time,
25:52
Speaker 1: he doesn't have a contract beyond the movie he's in. Um,
25:56
Speaker 1: we'll have to see if that changes, simply because like
26:00
Speaker 1: it may be that there's sort of a a game
26:03
Speaker 1: of political chicken going on here behind the scenes. We
26:06
Speaker 1: don't we aren't privy to it. We don't know. But yeah,
26:09
Speaker 1: so so quick summary, more obious. I think it looks interesting.
26:13
Speaker 1: I'll probably see it aerial your thoughts. I'll probably see it,
26:18
Speaker 1: but also I liked Venom, so yeah, and uh to
26:22
Speaker 1: to recap Wheel of Time. I'm not feeling the vibe yet,
26:28
Speaker 1: but Cowboy Bebop totally feeling the vibe. M'm I'm feeling
26:32
Speaker 1: the vibe on Bebop. I'll probably watch Wheel of Time.
26:35
Speaker 1: I'll probably watch Eternals, though I'm not super excited about it. Yeah,
26:39
Speaker 1: I mean, I almost feel like I've seen all the
26:42
Speaker 1: good scenes because Marvel keeps releasing these little clips from Yeah,
26:48
Speaker 1: but I feel like I've seen like the really good parts.
26:51
Speaker 1: It's like when you go to it, it's like when
26:52
Speaker 1: Darth maul ignited both sides of his saber in the
26:56
Speaker 1: preview for episode one. That was like the key moment
26:59
Speaker 1: and they gave it away on the preview. But speaking
27:03
Speaker 1: of giving things away, we're about to give this podcast
27:06
Speaker 1: away if we don't go to a break. And we
27:08
Speaker 1: need to go to a break. So we're gonna come
27:10
Speaker 1: back and have a quick discussion about what we got
27:12
Speaker 1: up to and as far as spooky shenanigans over the
27:15
Speaker 1: Halloween weekend, and we'll be right back, all right. So
27:30
Speaker 1: we're back, and I know that Jonathan and I both
27:32
Speaker 1: did some pretty I would consider dieky things over the holidays,
27:35
Speaker 1: and so I haven't actually had a chance to talk
27:37
Speaker 1: with him about it. And you guys get to listen
27:39
Speaker 1: to us catch up with each other on our holiday weekend. So, Jonathan,
27:45
Speaker 1: you spent the weekend watching scary movies? Correct? Uh, yeah,
27:49
Speaker 1: mostly scary movies. So, um, I was down in a
27:54
Speaker 1: house in middle Georgia that had no internet, uh, And
28:00
Speaker 1: so we had a bunch of blue rays and DVDs
28:03
Speaker 1: and stuff, and we watched a bunch of movies, we
28:06
Speaker 1: being me, my wife Rebecca, and uh Honorary Ellen c
28:10
Speaker 1: host Shay who was visiting with us. And so we
28:15
Speaker 1: watched The Frighten Nurse, which all of us had seen
28:17
Speaker 1: before and we love. That's uh Peter Jackson film that
28:22
Speaker 1: stars Michael J. Fox and also has Jeffrey Combs in it.
28:26
Speaker 1: Then we watch re Animator, also has Jeffrey Combs in it.
28:30
Speaker 1: Very different movie, very gonzo, over the top horror. Was
28:35
Speaker 1: some some weird body horror comedy stuff in it. Uh.
28:41
Speaker 1: We watched uh The Innkeepers, a Tie West haunted house
28:46
Speaker 1: movie that's very slow moving. It like a lot of
28:49
Speaker 1: Thie West stuff. It has a very kind of seventies
28:52
Speaker 1: early eighties feel to the pacing. Um. I was amazed
28:56
Speaker 1: that she was able to stay awake for it, but
28:57
Speaker 1: she did, and we watched that. Uh. We also because
29:01
Speaker 1: she is a huge fan of it, we watched hocus Pocus,
29:04
Speaker 1: which was the first time that my wife, Rebecca had
29:06
Speaker 1: seen it. I had seen it once before, didn't like it.
29:10
Speaker 1: She asked me if I liked it more on the
29:12
Speaker 1: second time, and I said, no, what's that? Did Becca
29:17
Speaker 1: like it? Though? She said she could take it or
29:20
Speaker 1: leave it, so uh, not a big endorsement from Becca either.
29:24
Speaker 1: But yeah, those were kind of like the things we
29:26
Speaker 1: were watching. And I also I made homemade apple cider,
29:29
Speaker 1: like literally from apples. I took apples and I made
29:33
Speaker 1: apple cider and it turned out great, awesome. I'm glad
29:36
Speaker 1: to hear that because I definitely like some apple cider.
29:39
Speaker 1: I had no apple cider over the Halloween Folliday, so
29:43
Speaker 1: I need to definitely grab some, if not make some myself.
29:48
Speaker 1: That sounds like a lovely folloween weekend. It was. It
29:53
Speaker 1: was great. It was great. It was It was low
29:54
Speaker 1: key and relaxing. Uh. And we watched a lot of
29:57
Speaker 1: stuff I'm sure we watched other things too, and we've
30:00
Speaker 1: watched a few things that were not Halloween ish, But
30:03
Speaker 1: what did you end up doing? All Right? So, first
30:06
Speaker 1: of all, I visited some vampires and gave some blood um,
30:10
Speaker 1: which yeah they had. It was it was you know,
30:14
Speaker 1: it's always a good experience. I always feel good doing it.
30:16
Speaker 1: And I even got some cool rainbow band aids that
30:19
Speaker 1: horribly clashed with like my Halloween nails. But that's okay.
30:23
Speaker 1: The big thing that I did, I think the spookiest
30:25
Speaker 1: and geekiest thing I did all weekend, and I did
30:28
Speaker 1: a bunch of little stuff, was I played a D
30:31
Speaker 1: and D game. I'm in an Ebron campaign right now,
30:35
Speaker 1: and the d M is amazing. Uh he's he's really cool,
30:40
Speaker 1: he's really geeky, and he's really really creative and so
30:43
Speaker 1: uh there are many puzzles that were solving throughout this campaign.
30:48
Speaker 1: But right in the middle of this I almost called
30:53
Speaker 1: an episode. We played a whole bunch of Monster of
30:55
Speaker 1: the Week prior ely pre pandemic, and so like every
30:58
Speaker 1: one of those was an episodes. So now I'm thinking
31:00
Speaker 1: D and D episodes. So no, this particular game dealt
31:06
Speaker 1: with like dream meters and it's because it's Halloween, so
31:10
Speaker 1: it ghosts, and we had to go up to this
31:14
Speaker 1: spooky mansion. And as soon as we entered the spooky mansion,
31:17
Speaker 1: we had to like figure out puzzles to get in.
31:18
Speaker 1: We actually had like physical puzzles that we needed to
31:21
Speaker 1: figure out to get into the spooky mansion. And once
31:23
Speaker 1: we did Yeah, once we did that, it turned into
31:26
Speaker 1: a mini game of betrayal at House on the Hill.
31:31
Speaker 1: So our character, like, our character speed turned into like moves,
31:36
Speaker 1: so and House on the Hill you can move like
31:39
Speaker 1: depending on your character, depends on how many spaces you
31:41
Speaker 1: can move, how many rooms you can move, and you
31:43
Speaker 1: keep moving until an event happens. Yeah. For for people
31:46
Speaker 1: who aren't familiar with it, House on Betrayal on the
31:48
Speaker 1: House in the Hill is a tile based game. You
31:52
Speaker 1: don't actually know what is in the next room before
31:56
Speaker 1: you go into it, and then you draw a tile
31:58
Speaker 1: and put it down and that defines what that room is.
32:02
Speaker 1: And certain tiles have certain icons on them that denote
32:05
Speaker 1: whether or not an event happens or something. And then
32:08
Speaker 1: ultimately in Betrayal, the betrayal is that at some point
32:13
Speaker 1: one of the characters ends up being uh, the betrayer. Uh,
32:18
Speaker 1: And it's all based upon the actual state of the
32:21
Speaker 1: game at that moment, and then uh, from that point forward,
32:26
Speaker 1: it becomes a co op game for the remaining you know,
32:32
Speaker 1: good to be a little frustrating, Yeah, but it's and
32:37
Speaker 1: there's like, there's like a fifty different scenarios that it
32:40
Speaker 1: could possibly be. And then there are expansion packs that
32:43
Speaker 1: even increase that. But you were saying, I'm sorry, yeah, no,
32:46
Speaker 1: So so we did that, and D and D character
32:49
Speaker 1: movements based on like number of few you can go.
32:52
Speaker 1: So if you could go thirty ft, you could move
32:53
Speaker 1: three tiles. Interestingly, if you wanted to move three tiles
32:57
Speaker 1: but there was only one tile space in front of you,
32:59
Speaker 1: all of them got put down on the table so
33:02
Speaker 1: that you couldn't see what they were except for the
33:04
Speaker 1: final tile you landed on. And then something happened. Once
33:07
Speaker 1: we explored the house and we found all the things
33:09
Speaker 1: we needed to it turned back into a normal D
33:10
Speaker 1: and D game, but there was a soundtrack and it
33:14
Speaker 1: was just there. We we all literally cheered when betrayal happened. Um,
33:22
Speaker 1: so it was super geeky, it was super fun. Um.
33:25
Speaker 1: And then I dressed up like a tomato for the
33:27
Speaker 1: non existent tricker treaters that we had. Um, did anyone
33:31
Speaker 1: stop by? No. So last year we actually I think
33:35
Speaker 1: the hurricane hit around the time that Halloween was. It
33:37
Speaker 1: might have been Halloween weekend. In fact, we're out of
33:40
Speaker 1: power and so, and it was the pandemic. So we
33:43
Speaker 1: had no tricker treaters. So we bought tricker treat candy
33:46
Speaker 1: and we put it out on our mailbox for anybody
33:48
Speaker 1: who was walking to the neighborhood. Stuck any kids who
33:51
Speaker 1: couldn't get out so they could pull a piece of
33:54
Speaker 1: candy from off our mailboxes to enjoy. This year, we
33:57
Speaker 1: bought full sizers because we do have a few kids
34:00
Speaker 1: in the neighborhood and you know, people are starting to
34:02
Speaker 1: get a little bit more outgoing with their socialization in
34:07
Speaker 1: our neighborhood, and so um, we had some full size
34:10
Speaker 1: ers in case we had anybody show up at our door.
34:13
Speaker 1: And then we had like some small candy because we
34:15
Speaker 1: want to put small candy out, but we put it
34:18
Speaker 1: out yesterday and today instead. Um, because I figure late
34:22
Speaker 1: Halloween candy is still good Halloween candy. Yeah, And that
34:25
Speaker 1: way like our because Halloween fell on a Sunday this year,
34:29
Speaker 1: our mail carriers and our delivery people can also get
34:32
Speaker 1: a little treat when they stopped by our house. So
34:34
Speaker 1: it's just it's a way to kind of share a
34:37
Speaker 1: little love with all of our neighbors. Nice. Well, I
34:40
Speaker 1: have a I have a very short spooky candy story
34:44
Speaker 1: about my weekend. Oh yes, I want to hear it.
34:47
Speaker 1: So we're packing up at the end of the weekend.
34:49
Speaker 1: She has already left because she one of the many
34:52
Speaker 1: things that our friends say does is she leads ghost
34:55
Speaker 1: tours in a town called Marietta, which is just north
35:00
Speaker 1: of Atlanta, and so she had to leave because she
35:03
Speaker 1: had a ghost tour to lead lead. So she had
35:05
Speaker 1: to leave early because we were in Middle Georgia, which
35:07
Speaker 1: is a good distance away from Marietta. So she leaves,
35:11
Speaker 1: and then I'm going to pack up the car so
35:13
Speaker 1: that we can head back to our home. And uh,
35:16
Speaker 1: I go out and the car on top of the
35:18
Speaker 1: car is a Reese's peanut butter cup and a kit
35:21
Speaker 1: Cat still in the wrapper. And so I then text
35:26
Speaker 1: Shay and I said, did you leave candy on our
35:30
Speaker 1: car when you left? And she wrote back and said no,
35:35
Speaker 1: And I'm like, Okay, we're in like the woods. Who
35:40
Speaker 1: the heck is creeping on us putting candy on our car?
35:43
Speaker 1: So I go back and I tell Becca this. I'm
35:45
Speaker 1: like and I don't know who did it, And she's like, oh,
35:47
Speaker 1: that was me. I actually bought some candy at the
35:49
Speaker 1: store and I forgot that I put on top of
35:51
Speaker 1: the car while I was unloading it. Like, oh, all right,
35:54
Speaker 1: well that's mystery solved. I feel better. Look you, I
36:00
Speaker 1: figured it was like the wildlife was was given back. Yeah,
36:04
Speaker 1: well not quite. Well, the candy creeper mystery has been solved,
36:09
Speaker 1: and now we're going to take a quick break before
36:12
Speaker 1: we launch into well, first the stories that lead us
36:16
Speaker 1: to our matchup and then our mashups. So we'll be
36:19
Speaker 1: right back. Okay, So our mashups are based off a
36:40
Speaker 1: couple of other trailers that we watched for this episode.
36:45
Speaker 1: One of them is for the Book of Boba Fette,
36:48
Speaker 1: which you know was teased at the end of the
36:50
Speaker 1: last season of The Mandalorian and it has a lot
36:54
Speaker 1: of like Godfather vibes with Boba Fette in the lead
36:59
Speaker 1: as a um as a crime boss. He's kind of
37:02
Speaker 1: he actually, I think he even says that he's not
37:04
Speaker 1: a bounty hunter in the trailer, like he's he's indicating
37:08
Speaker 1: that he's transitioning from his old gig of bounty hunter
37:12
Speaker 1: into essentially crime boss, taking over Jabba's role because Job
37:17
Speaker 1: of the Hut has been gone since Return of the
37:19
Speaker 1: Jedi spoiler for people haven't seen it. And he killed
37:22
Speaker 1: Big Fortuna, who was the job of the Hut's right
37:24
Speaker 1: hand man, who took over one job by the Hut. Huh. Yeah,
37:29
Speaker 1: it was strangled to death by Leyah. Yeah, but you know,
37:32
Speaker 1: he says, because you're like, but wait a second. If
37:35
Speaker 1: you've watched Mandalorian Boba Fett was helpful, he did some
37:38
Speaker 1: good things. He's a good guy. He's still chaotic neutral
37:42
Speaker 1: at best, but he's leading with respect, he says in
37:46
Speaker 1: the trailer, So we'll have to see how that goes. Yeah,
37:49
Speaker 1: so he's he's clearly he's meeting with other crime lords,
37:53
Speaker 1: other criminals and having a discussion about how they can
37:57
Speaker 1: move forward and work together as opposed to fighting one another.
38:03
Speaker 1: And it's very clear that a lot of the other
38:05
Speaker 1: crime lords are like, who are you to tell us
38:08
Speaker 1: what to do? So it's definitely going to be one
38:11
Speaker 1: of those things where he asked to earn their respect.
38:16
Speaker 1: I will be shocked if fear does not play a
38:19
Speaker 1: role in that, but we will see. I will as well.
38:22
Speaker 1: The other little thing is that a trailer for a
38:25
Speaker 1: light Year came out, which is the origin story of
38:27
Speaker 1: Buzz Lightyear. But it's not the origin story of the toy.
38:31
Speaker 1: It's the origin story of the man who inspired the toy.
38:35
Speaker 1: Within the Toy Story universe. He is voiced by Chris Evans.
38:39
Speaker 1: It shows, you know, the man who inspired Buzz Lightyear
38:43
Speaker 1: being a part of this space force. We don't know
38:45
Speaker 1: if he's going to encounter deserve or not. So so
38:49
Speaker 1: let me give you what I think this is because
38:52
Speaker 1: I think within the universe of Toy Story, Buzz Lightyear
38:57
Speaker 1: himself is not a real person. What I think is
38:59
Speaker 1: that in the Toy Story universe, there was a science
39:02
Speaker 1: fiction film that came out called light Year that's about
39:06
Speaker 1: this character who's a space ranger character who becomes heroic.
39:12
Speaker 1: That film spawns a children's cartoon series, just like we
39:17
Speaker 1: had cartoon series for the stuff like Star Wars and
39:20
Speaker 1: cartoon series for like DC comics and stuff that are
39:23
Speaker 1: geared towards kids. And that's the version of Buzz that
39:28
Speaker 1: the buzz Let Your Toy is based off of. It's
39:30
Speaker 1: based off the cartoons spinoff of the sci fi action movie,
39:35
Speaker 1: and we're getting the sci fi action movie. So even
39:37
Speaker 1: within the world of Toy Story, this is still fictional.
39:41
Speaker 1: That's what I'm guessing, because otherwise it doesn't make sense
39:47
Speaker 1: that the world uh that Toy Story fits in doesn't
39:50
Speaker 1: have all these crazy science fiction technologies at their disposal,
39:55
Speaker 1: because obviously for light Year to work, that has to
39:59
Speaker 1: be like at a level of space travel that we
40:02
Speaker 1: are not at. So I'm thinking this is a this
40:05
Speaker 1: is in the fiction, this is the film that inspires
40:08
Speaker 1: the cartoon spinoff that inspires the toy line that Buzz Lightyear.
40:12
Speaker 1: That's probably accurate, Insider says. What Disney has revealed so
40:16
Speaker 1: far about the story is it's a sci fi adventure
40:17
Speaker 1: that follows a young test pilot named Buzz Lightyer who
40:20
Speaker 1: becomes quote the legendary space ranger who would win generations
40:23
Speaker 1: of fans unquote. So you are probably right. My literal
40:27
Speaker 1: brain kind of took the the idea and ran with
40:33
Speaker 1: it as like, oh, this is a made up universe,
40:35
Speaker 1: so it can be like toys are alive in this universe.
40:38
Speaker 1: There can be space aliens and a space force. Come on,
40:41
Speaker 1: I don't have a trump problem with that. What I
40:42
Speaker 1: have a problem with is that everyone on Earth is
40:45
Speaker 1: still dealing with crappy old cars and stuff, and so
40:48
Speaker 1: if we're living in the science fiction world, I would
40:50
Speaker 1: expect like flying cars and stuff and uh, and that
40:54
Speaker 1: Pizza Planet wouldn't be the crappy rundown place that it is.
40:58
Speaker 1: But anyway that I actually think the trailer looks kind
41:02
Speaker 1: of interesting or the teaser. We should say the teaser
41:04
Speaker 1: looks kind of interesting, and I'm on board with it
41:08
Speaker 1: because I'm capable of taking that step. We're saying, Okay,
41:12
Speaker 1: well this is the film that spawns etcetera, etcetera. I've
41:15
Speaker 1: seen a lot of people online say, like, you know,
41:18
Speaker 1: they're they're putting it too close together about light Year
41:21
Speaker 1: and then the toy is directly inspired by the movie.
41:25
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, I think I think you've got to
41:28
Speaker 1: take another step back. I don't have a problem with it,
41:30
Speaker 1: um now now that I understand, because watching the trailer,
41:33
Speaker 1: I knew nothing about it because anything I had read
41:36
Speaker 1: head gone in one ear. And now the other. So,
41:39
Speaker 1: watching the trailer knowing kind of what it's about, I'm
41:41
Speaker 1: totally fine with that. With with the way that they're
41:45
Speaker 1: doing it, it looks cute to me. The beginning of
41:46
Speaker 1: the trailer was mad, but they had definitely grabbed me
41:48
Speaker 1: by the end, so um, I'll probably watch it, though
41:51
Speaker 1: I need to catch up on Toys the Toy Story
41:53
Speaker 1: movies first. I do not watch the most recent only
41:55
Speaker 1: No Toy Story four. I mean, you know, okay, um. Anyhow,
42:03
Speaker 1: so we're mixing up Boba the Fete and light Year
42:07
Speaker 1: in some former fashion. So uh so, so who do
42:13
Speaker 1: you want to go first? Because whoever goes first, they're
42:16
Speaker 1: going to get this section all to themselves and then
42:18
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a break for the second person to go. Um,
42:21
Speaker 1: I'll go first, Okay, go for it. This is called
42:25
Speaker 1: Boba the FETs Rocket legs with jets um because there's
42:30
Speaker 1: a song called FETs FETs and it says, my backpacks
42:32
Speaker 1: got jets. I'm Boba the Fet Okay. So, Boba Fette
42:37
Speaker 1: was no stranger to the hashtag crime life. When his
42:41
Speaker 1: father died, so did a piece of him. Well technically
42:44
Speaker 1: he was a piece of his dad, but same difference
42:47
Speaker 1: uh and as such, the jobs he took throughout his
42:50
Speaker 1: life never really bothered him, no matter what side they
42:52
Speaker 1: were for. Bobo was fine with his lack of conscience
42:55
Speaker 1: and was happy to kill let's say, Bib for Tuna
42:58
Speaker 1: and take over Jabos throne. But what he didn't realize
43:03
Speaker 1: is that after he helped rescue the child from the empire,
43:06
Speaker 1: something switched in his brain. Ever since he helped the
43:09
Speaker 1: child and then took over the throne, every night he
43:11
Speaker 1: was plagued with bad dreams of his life's decisions catching
43:15
Speaker 1: up with him. And every night he dreamed that he
43:18
Speaker 1: was caught and encased in carbonite, but not carbonite like
43:21
Speaker 1: he was familiar with. In his dream, he couldn't move,
43:23
Speaker 1: but he could see through the carbonite, and it almost
43:26
Speaker 1: seemed to move with his breath, and each morning he
43:29
Speaker 1: woke exhausted from the night before. Bobo was getting tired
43:32
Speaker 1: of this, literally and figuratively, and so he researched Jedi
43:35
Speaker 1: tricks to be able to lucid dream and once he
43:38
Speaker 1: read all he could and thought that he could master
43:40
Speaker 1: lucid dreaming, he decided to fix his dream like he
43:43
Speaker 1: had fixed so many of his bounties. Before this time,
43:46
Speaker 1: when he fell asleep and then woke up in carbonite,
43:49
Speaker 1: he changed the narrative. He tried wiggling his finger, which
43:52
Speaker 1: you shouldn't be able to do in carbonite, but he
43:54
Speaker 1: was able to. He struggled and broke free from his bondage,
43:57
Speaker 1: and then he pushed through the clear carbonite and oddly
44:01
Speaker 1: it gave way with barely more resistance and paper, and
44:05
Speaker 1: that's when he realized it. He was tiny, and he
44:08
Speaker 1: had just broken out of a box. He was somewhere
44:11
Speaker 1: between the size of a porgan a kawaki and monkey lizard.
44:15
Speaker 1: Only a second pass between him escaping and him hearing
44:17
Speaker 1: Boba fold Tumak Chaliah. Look, okay, I'm not fluid and huddy,
44:22
Speaker 1: so I may have got it wrong, but basically Boba
44:24
Speaker 1: the Hut was saying that he uh didn't want to
44:27
Speaker 1: get rid of his favorite decoration. And in that instant
44:31
Speaker 1: in his dream, Boba knew that job of the Hut
44:33
Speaker 1: was alive and after him. So Boba the Hut ran
44:37
Speaker 1: and hid behind an outcropping of durst steel, and then
44:40
Speaker 1: he saw his reflection. His mandalorian armor was plastic and
44:44
Speaker 1: it was white and green. And purple, and his face
44:47
Speaker 1: looked so dumb. And then he heard job of coming
44:51
Speaker 1: and he tried to shoot his calvalry consolidated arms mm
44:55
Speaker 1: nine wrist rockets at him, but all that happened was
44:57
Speaker 1: a little light on his wrist blinked and made up noise.
45:02
Speaker 1: But we knew he had to use his smarts to
45:05
Speaker 1: to get away from Java, and so he lured Java
45:07
Speaker 1: to a door, and after kicking the door control of
45:09
Speaker 1: this tiny plastic legs several times, the door dropped and
45:12
Speaker 1: severed Job of the hut and half then before Tuna
45:15
Speaker 1: rushed over to make sure Java was dead and tripped
45:17
Speaker 1: over Boba Tete FETs tiny toy like body and his
45:22
Speaker 1: life was dispatched as well. Then, after much effort, Boba
45:25
Speaker 1: the Fete climbed up into Java's throne and fell asleep.
45:28
Speaker 1: When he woke up, he knew that he had broken
45:30
Speaker 1: his creepy dream cycle. He stretched and went to the
45:33
Speaker 1: refresher to wash his face and teeth, and as he
45:36
Speaker 1: looked in the mirror, he saw that he was not tiny,
45:38
Speaker 1: but his armor was white and green and purple plastic,
45:41
Speaker 1: and his face was so dumb looking. He smacked himself
45:45
Speaker 1: to wake up, but alas it did no good. He
45:48
Speaker 1: was awake and this was his worst nightmare ever. He
45:51
Speaker 1: tried to scream, but all that emanated from his mouth
45:53
Speaker 1: was true infinity and beyond the end. Wow. Okay, well,
46:00
Speaker 1: I can, I can. I can confidently say that our
46:04
Speaker 1: our mashups are very different. But we'll get to mine
46:08
Speaker 1: after we take this quick break. Okay, arial, it's time
46:24
Speaker 1: for my mashup. Mine is called to tattooing and beyond.
46:30
Speaker 1: Boba Fette has a problem. See. He's enlisted in the
46:34
Speaker 1: Space Rangers, a new elite force of soldiers in Star Command.
46:38
Speaker 1: And though Boba Fett is a skilled pilot, a warrior,
46:41
Speaker 1: and a tracker, there's this one jerk face who always
46:44
Speaker 1: seems to beat him in every subject. His name Buzz
46:48
Speaker 1: light Year. If Boba sets a new record for zapping
46:51
Speaker 1: target robots, Buzz comes along and does it even faster.
46:56
Speaker 1: If Boba pilots a starshup through an asteroid field without
46:59
Speaker 1: getting so much just a scratch on the paint, Buzz
47:02
Speaker 1: will fly through the tail of a comet and bring
47:04
Speaker 1: everyone cosmic snow cones afterward. When Boba reported to Star Commanders,
47:09
Speaker 1: zeb Nebula that warped dark matter seemed a bit suss.
47:13
Speaker 1: He found out Buzz had already filed a report an
47:16
Speaker 1: hour earlier. In short, Boba can't seem to ever come
47:20
Speaker 1: out on top. This eats away at Boba, who is
47:23
Speaker 1: incredibly competitive. Buzz, for his part, appears to be a
47:28
Speaker 1: you know, completely dedicated to Star Command at a level
47:31
Speaker 1: that's you know, kind of scary. Buzz is just a
47:35
Speaker 1: hundred percent committed to Star Command's mission and refuses to
47:38
Speaker 1: give anything other than a hundred and ten person effort,
47:41
Speaker 1: which Boba has figured out is mathematically impossible. One day,
47:46
Speaker 1: when trying to flirt with Mira Nova and failing miserably,
47:51
Speaker 1: Boba Fett sees Lightyear looking at an old trophy case
47:54
Speaker 1: in Star Commands training facility. Creeping up behind him. He
47:58
Speaker 1: sees Buzz admiring a trophy one by zeb Nebula for
48:01
Speaker 1: navigating through the most dangerous sector in the galaxy, the
48:05
Speaker 1: Kessel run. Gosh says, Lightyear, imagine doing that run in
48:10
Speaker 1: just thirteen parsecs Ah says Boba, I could do it
48:16
Speaker 1: in less than twelve. Light Year, amazed at such a claim,
48:20
Speaker 1: says to Boba, I really don't think that's possible. Boba,
48:24
Speaker 1: excited that he's found a small point to pick at with,
48:27
Speaker 1: Buzz says I bet it is, and buzzes eyes narrow. Well,
48:31
Speaker 1: if that's the case, then I propose a friendly competition.
48:34
Speaker 1: Let's see who can make the Kessel run with the
48:36
Speaker 1: fewest parsecs. But you're up to it, Bubba Fett. That's
48:42
Speaker 1: Boba Fette, says Boba Fette, holding back a sob and
48:45
Speaker 1: I will do the Kessel run and less the twelve
48:48
Speaker 1: par sex. You will see the two arranged to have
48:51
Speaker 1: the competition that following Saturday, which is you know, the
48:54
Speaker 1: Star Command cadets day off, and they are both going
48:58
Speaker 1: to try and make for a Kess run with twelve
49:01
Speaker 1: parsecs or less a k A the K twelve as
49:05
Speaker 1: they call it. They see Boba go through a training
49:09
Speaker 1: montage to some new wave eighties music. He tries practicing
49:13
Speaker 1: his maneuvers and and he wipe's out a few times,
49:15
Speaker 1: but he always escapes certain doom and he goes back
49:18
Speaker 1: to the drawing board and gets a little better for
49:20
Speaker 1: the next time. He talks with Mira Nova about it,
49:22
Speaker 1: and she says, look, it's simple, just go that way. Really,
49:28
Speaker 1: fast if something gets in your way turn. Boba Fette
49:33
Speaker 1: takes that to heart, and soon the day comes for
49:36
Speaker 1: the competition. I hope you got your thrusters boosted, says Buzz,
49:41
Speaker 1: somewhat mockingly. What do you call your ship again? And
49:46
Speaker 1: and Boba Fette's eyes go all shifty, but you know,
49:49
Speaker 1: they're under a helmet so so you don't really see it,
49:53
Speaker 1: but it's there, and he says, uh, I'd rather not
49:57
Speaker 1: say the name of my ship because it turns out
50:00
Speaker 1: the name of my ship isn't really as cool as
50:02
Speaker 1: I used to think it was. Tell you what, says Lightyear.
50:06
Speaker 1: I'll give your ship a new name. I'm calling it
50:09
Speaker 1: Space Iron because you know, it kind of looks like
50:12
Speaker 1: an iron, like like the thing you iron close with,
50:16
Speaker 1: so that sounds good to you. And then a bunch
50:18
Speaker 1: of cadets laugh at Buzzes funny joke, and Boba gets mad.
50:22
Speaker 1: The two pilots go bring their ships as close to
50:25
Speaker 1: the edge of the kessel run as they can, and
50:27
Speaker 1: just before they go, light Year surreptitiously hits a little
50:31
Speaker 1: button that causes a laser gun on his ship to
50:34
Speaker 1: blast the left thruster of Boba's ship. Whoops, ay, says
50:39
Speaker 1: light Year. Hey you can't do that, says Boba, but
50:43
Speaker 1: then the starter pistol goes off. However, it takes a
50:46
Speaker 1: moment for both Buzz and Boba to notice because there's
50:48
Speaker 1: no sound in outer space, but the race is on. Meanwhile,
50:52
Speaker 1: from a safe viewing distance, Mirandova looks through space binoculars
50:57
Speaker 1: Boba's flying on one thruster, and the cadets all go
51:01
Speaker 1: oh and ah, and we see this amazing spaceship race
51:05
Speaker 1: with Boba pulling out all the stops while Buzz is
51:08
Speaker 1: trying to beat him. But despite Buzzes maneuvers, Boba is
51:12
Speaker 1: able to use every trick in the book to get
51:15
Speaker 1: boosts of speed, propelling him into first place at fourteen
51:20
Speaker 1: parsecs two buzzes fifteen. Back at Star command, Buzz comes
51:24
Speaker 1: up to Boba. You know, I still don't like you,
51:28
Speaker 1: but gosh darn it, I respect you and the tochet
51:32
Speaker 1: Cansas and you've did an amazing job. You almost tied
51:35
Speaker 1: Zeb's top run. Yeah it wasn't quite what I wanted,
51:39
Speaker 1: but I'm proud of my run, says Boba. Fett, Hey,
51:43
Speaker 1: maybe next time you'll get that run. Under twelve parsecs.
51:46
Speaker 1: You know, as long as both your thrusters work, says
51:48
Speaker 1: Buzz and then Boba Fette and Buzz light ear laugh
51:52
Speaker 1: and then Boba decks Buzz for being a jerk face credits.
51:57
Speaker 1: In a post credit scene, we see an abandoned throne
52:01
Speaker 1: room and it's Emperor Zurg's, but Zerg has been gone
52:04
Speaker 1: for years, and into the room we see a shadowy
52:07
Speaker 1: figure enter making its way to the throne. As it
52:10
Speaker 1: takes its seat, we see it's Boba Fette coming soon,
52:14
Speaker 1: Emperor Fete and Planet z the end. I love it.
52:20
Speaker 1: Ten out of ten would watch that mash up. And
52:23
Speaker 1: while it's never a competition, I think if we brought
52:25
Speaker 1: our two pitches to Disney, they would pick hers for definitely.
52:30
Speaker 1: They might say that I might have plagiarized a little
52:32
Speaker 1: too heavily for a certain eighties Ski movie that came
52:36
Speaker 1: out with John Q. Sack in it, but remembers eight
52:40
Speaker 1: Ski movies with John Cusack anymore. I mean there was
52:43
Speaker 1: a whole South Park episode that was a parody of
52:45
Speaker 1: that particular eighties Ski movie. But yeah, okay, yeah, yeah no,
52:49
Speaker 1: we by the way, we watched that over Halloween weekend
52:52
Speaker 1: to that movie which but in case you aren't familiar,
52:56
Speaker 1: it's It's It's called Better Off Dead. It stars John Q. Sack.
53:00
Speaker 1: The movie still holds up um and uh and yeah,
53:04
Speaker 1: I I liberally stole from it for the purposes of
53:08
Speaker 1: this mashup, but it worked. It worked well. Uh. And
53:13
Speaker 1: to all of our listeners out there, if you've got
53:15
Speaker 1: an idea that isn't plagiarizing a eighties ski movie or
53:20
Speaker 1: absolutely horrific on how buzz light Year would bash up,
53:25
Speaker 1: you should write us and tell us how can they
53:26
Speaker 1: do that? Jonathan. You can send us an email. The
