• 2:01
  but for now and Dwano, hope you enjoyed my chat here discussing Radioactive
• 2:06
  Man with the legendary Kysla Chris. But how was New York? I saw
• 2:15
  that you did a movie tour and you did all the touristy stuff. What
• 2:17
  did you get up to besides meaning Zach of course. Yeah, so I
• 2:21
  did the press junket for everyone in part two and like that film was getting
• 2:24
  thrashed unfortunately, But I'm a big fan of his work, especially with like
• 2:30
  Batman and all that stuff, so it was great, but it went too
• 2:34
  quick, man. I was there for four nights and then had to fly
• 2:36
  back, so the jet lag was bad. It was really bad, and
• 2:40
  I was trying to sleep on the plane coming home, and it's cool,
• 2:44
  like it's not a pay gig, but they cover flight. Accommodation was business
• 2:47
  class with Cathay Pacific, which is great. And coming home, I'm like,
• 2:51
  all right, got the flatbed, I'm going to sleep and I'll be
• 2:53
  fine. I'll listen to some four fingered discount. I'm trying to listen to
• 2:57
  you guys. And we had the worst turbulence and I'm like, this is
• 3:00
  awful. So I'm like, screw it. I'm just gonna stay up and
• 3:04
  just listen to you guys. So these guys usually put me to sleep.
• 3:07
  Why is it not working this time? Ah? Man? You were?
• 3:10
  You were also you had an episode with the guy that had the big collection.
• 3:15
  You had a few animation cells and Michael, I remember I was drifting
• 3:19
  in and out of that one because it was just like, you guys just
• 3:21
  talk shop and shit, it's great. Well that's what I try to do
• 3:24
  with Guess and going. I just we recorded an episode yesterday. We just
• 3:27
  started season nineteen, and we sort of discussed about interviewing and I feel like
• 3:30
  when you're interviewing, because you interview as well. You don't interview, you
• 3:35
  just chat. I think that's the best way to do it. Yeah,
• 3:37
  because and I said, I love that moment where you realize with like a
• 3:40
  big name guest or whatever, where you realize, oh shit, you've asked
• 3:43
  me a question. You can tell they've never been asked before. Yeah.
• 3:46
  Yeah. When you stump them, they're like, oh good one, You're
• 3:49
  like, yeah, fuck, because sometimes they use our good question as a
• 3:52
  way to sort of de stall time. But you can tell when they say
• 3:54
  good question, when they actually meant that's a good question. Yeah, yeah,
• 3:58
  yeah exactly, and they give you little pat on the back. What
• 4:01
  landmarks did you see? Have you been to New York before this trip?
• 4:04
  That was my fourth time. Yeah, So my dad used to work for
• 4:08
  Corners and I used to work for Corners too before I well, during when
• 4:11
  I started doing all this. So I went there when I was a kid,
• 4:15
  then went there in my twenties two more times. But yeah, like
• 4:18
  did the home alone hotel like for av log on my second channel. Then
• 4:24
  we did like Central Park and just Time Square all the touristy stuff, and
• 4:29
  again, like we had so much stuff to do activities wise. With Netflix,
• 4:31
  it was on behalf of Netflix Australia, so you like we had like
• 4:35
  one day to like do all touristy stuff and have time to ourself. Apart
• 4:40
  from that, we were just on the on the go the whole time.
• 4:43
  Man. So like we had the press junk at the screening like the premiere
• 4:46
  and then before you know, it was time to fly home. So they
• 4:49
  contact you say we're going to pay for your flight's accommodation, all that good
• 4:53
  stuff. But you've got to do what they tell you to do when you
• 4:55
  get that kind of thing a sort of so like last year I did Rebel
• 4:59
  Moon Part one and that was in Japan, so it's the exact same thing,
• 5:01
  like, hey, we want you to come back for part two.
• 5:02
  We're going to do it in New York this time. Like they do have
• 5:05
  a schedule, but because they're not paying you, they don't expect a certain
• 5:12
  thing socials wise, like in terms of posting, and we want, you
• 5:15
  know, three stories and one main newsfeed post if that makes sense. If
• 5:19
  they are paying you, then they'll probably give you a list of what they
• 5:23
  want, hashtags all that stuff, like deliverables and like I review. I've
• 5:30
  got my main channel causplay Chris, and then I've got just Chris Stanley,
• 5:31
  which is just movie reviews and all that. And I always try to be
• 5:34
  honest, even though because tomorrow night my fiance and I have the premiere of
• 5:39
  Furiosa here in Sydney, so like Hamsworth, George Miller and all that are
• 5:44
  going to be there. But you know, I still will give an honest
• 5:46
  opinion even though you get an invite, I still think you need that healthy
• 5:50
  balance, if that makes sense. Is there a fear though, of giving
• 5:53
  a bad review that you might not get invited back? Or have you found
• 5:57
  it that doesn't really matter? If anything, that's not my problem. It's
• 6:01
  like you guys have to understand it's subjective. I can still have an opinion.
• 6:05
  Just because you've gifted me something doesn't mean I have to abide by the
• 6:09
  rules. And when I do my reviews, if something's negative, I'm not
• 6:12
  bashing it. I just try and be like this didn't work for me,
• 6:15
  and I'm not like this is shit, the person shit, this is awful.
• 6:18
  It's just like, hey, this didn't work for me. So you
• 6:23
  know, I always try and have a fair kind of balanced opinion. But
• 6:26
  at the same time, there's no such thing as a perfect movie man.
• 6:29
  So yeah, I used to be a lot more scared of doing that,
• 6:31
  but now I find your audience respects you a lot more. If you're like,
• 6:35
  hey, I did get invited, but this still isn't a perfect movie,
• 6:40
  but you'd be polite about it. You're like, these were just my
• 6:42
  negatives. These are my gripes, but overall, you know, it's still
• 6:45
  pretty damn good. So I think that needs to be addressed a lot more
• 6:48
  these days instead of just pandering because you got an invite. Like the buzzword
• 6:54
  these days is shill. Everyone thinks you're a chill. Well, they're your
• 6:58
  thoughts. What you just described heed to describe those films, was that your
• 7:00
  thoughts walking out of the Simpsons movie, because I think that's how most Simpsons
• 7:02
  fans felt. It's like there were negatives. I mean, it was good,
• 7:05
  but there's a lot of things I would have probably wish were a bit
• 7:09
  better. Yeah, it was kind of It was like when when it finished,
• 7:13
  because it was a big deal. We were in year we just graduate,
• 7:15
  so it was two thousand and seven when it came out. Yeah,
• 7:17
  yeah, so I graduate. I finished you twelve or two thousand and six.
• 7:19
  I think we were about the same age. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 7:21
  I graduated two thousand and six, and I remember when the credits rolled,
• 7:26
  it was like that episode Itching Scratchy and Poochie's Home is like, well,
• 7:30
  what did everyone think? It was? Like, it was actually pretty
• 7:36
  good for how the series was starting to sort of decline and kind of go
• 7:41
  downhill in terms of like not not to say it was like getting bad,
• 7:45
  but it just wasn't what it was in the golden era. And I remember
• 7:47
  back remember the Cheese TV days. Of course it I'm the guy that helped
• 7:50
  relaunch the Chefs TV social medias with Jayden Ryan Oh christ will be all right,
• 7:55
  yeah, yes, so it's safe to say you Cheese TV. Yeah.
• 7:59
  I remember like the Boys announced it on Chief TV that a movie was
• 8:03
  being made, and then Disney Adventures would been like, yeah, movie's happening.
• 8:07
  I'm like, guys, it feels like it's been like ten years everyone's
• 8:09
  been saying a movie's happening. Then it finally came out. I'm like,
• 8:13
  I think that's the best Simpsons movie we could get in the in the age
• 8:18
  we are in now, like two thousand and seven. I think that's the
• 8:20
  best we can get, and I actually really liked it. Look, it
• 8:26
  could have been so much more worse, but I'm glad they brought back the
• 8:28
  older riders for it, and I think that's why it was pretty decent.
• 8:33
  I think if they remade, if they've made a second one, I think
• 8:35
  now they would pander more to the hardcore fans of like the Golden Era,
• 8:39
  more so because I think they've now finally acknowledged and accepted. Okay, I
• 8:43
  mean the first ten years we're the best, and I think though in that
• 8:46
  weird period of going we're still good. We're still good and trying to sort
• 8:50
  of just be there who they were at that point. Now, I feel
• 8:52
  like a new movie would be more pandering to what we grew up on and
• 8:58
  they My big thing was I wish I had a back Hank Scorpio as the
• 9:01
  villain because he had the same voice actor. Yeah, I say it's the
• 9:05
  same voice actor the guy that voices Marlon is it Marlin Broding Nemo Brooks?
• 9:11
  Yeah? Yeah, Like can you imagine if they brought back Conan to co
• 9:15
  write it, and is John Schwartzwelder is still alive. He's still alive.
• 9:20
  Yeah, I don't think he waits for the show anymore though. No,
• 9:22
  he's like I picture him being like mister Burns when he's got the casino and
• 9:26
  he's got the beard and he's on the type rider with the long fingernails.
• 9:31
  Do you know that he bought a booth from the diner that he used to
• 9:33
  go to the right Simpsons and put it in his house so that he can
• 9:37
  feel like he was in his little zone. That's so cool. I remember
• 9:39
  that. My me and my two best mates talk about that all the time.
• 9:43
  And one of my mates, Luke, who I'm getting married next week
• 9:48
  and he's on our groomsman and thanks Man. Yeah, Luke told me about
• 9:52
  that. He's like, yeah, he used to go on that diner every
• 9:54
  day chain smoke. And then I think that were they getting rid of the
• 9:58
  booth or they were refurbishing the din. I'm not sure, but all I
• 10:01
  know is that he took it to his house and I thought, that's so
• 10:03
  fucking awesome. It's so good. I love that. Do you have anything
• 10:07
  from your childhood for me? Though? And I never got my hands and
• 10:11
  I'm still so sad and bitter about it to this day. But there was
• 10:13
  a time where we have time zone. It's now called laser Quest or something
• 10:16
  here in Jalyn, but we had time zone right the arcade and they had
• 10:20
  the Simpson's Arcade machine there, and it was always the same machine there forever,
• 10:24
  forever, and then just sort of disappeared one day and I was like,
• 10:26
  oh, man, I used to spend so many hours of my childhood
• 10:28
  playing his machine. And then I went to a mate store who was had
• 10:33
  like a pop culture T shirt store, and I went there and he had
• 10:35
  the machine. He bought it from Times and they didn't want it anymore,
• 10:39
  and I said how much do you want for it? He goes eight hundred.
• 10:41
  I said, all right, cool, let me just go talk to
• 10:43
  my wife about it. And see, I wanted to own kind of like
• 10:45
  George and Sidefad the Froggy Machine. I wanted to own the original Arcade that
• 10:48
  I actually used to play, right, And I went back there two days
• 10:50
  later he sold it to somebody else. He goes, oh, well,
• 10:52
  I didn't know if you're going to come back all night, and I just
• 10:54
  sold it. I was like, man, I spent the whole weekend begging
• 10:56
  to my wife. She finally agreed to it. Now it's not there,
• 11:01
  Oh damn. I just love to I would love to own the actual Simpsons
• 11:05
  Arkae machine that I played when I was a kid, you know. Yeah,
• 11:09
  yeah. We had Tilt at our local Westfield and they had an abundance
• 11:15
  of Simpson games. They had like pinball machine, so I had some other
• 11:18
  specialty ones and I always remember like the movie themed pinball machine or like arcade
• 11:24
  games. I remember the Simpsons the Adams Family pinball machine like from the movie
• 11:30
  Ye Star Trek was a big one fish tails Yeah yeah, yep, yep.
• 11:33
  But like I've I've got my Simpsons Issue one comic from when I was
• 11:39
  a kid, and yes it does smell like my grandpa and it comes with
• 11:43
  like the poster and everything. And then these two I repurchased off eBay.
• 11:48
  So this is issue forty eight and then issue fifty. And the reason why
• 11:52
  I rebrought these two is because, like it's nostalgia. But I remember my
• 11:56
  dad and I went on a road trip from Sydney up to the Gold Coast
• 11:58
  and I had these two issues and they kept me company the whole ride through
• 12:03
  and they were like the illustrations always great there's always something going on in each
• 12:07
  frame, and they got lost just throughout the years. And yeah, I
• 12:11
  found them on Eban. I just wanted to again, just that nostalgia and
• 12:13
  just was like that was a fun road trip with my dad and I and
• 12:16
  I read them now and I'm like, man, these still hold up.
• 12:18
  They're pretty good. Yeah. I feel the comics are so underappreciated because they
• 12:24
  just sort of pull the pin on them m. Yeah. Yeah, actually,
• 12:26
  especially the Halloween ones as well. You've read some of them now,
• 12:28
  an you think these are just they're just as good as the episodes. Yeah,
• 12:33
  I'm like, why did you make this a comic and not an episode?
• 12:37
  Yeah? There must have been a different staff or something. I'm thinking,
• 12:39
  how can these guys write good stories but the actual shows declining? Jesus,
• 12:45
  these are really good. I've got my whole collection down here. I'll
• 12:46
  try to show you. I'm not sure if you can see it. That's
• 12:50
  all my comics down there. They're are my records up. But I collect
• 12:54
  vinyl soundtracks. That's my thing. We all have a thing, right,
• 12:58
  hang on, you'll get a kick out it. Collect vinyl soundtracks too,
• 13:03
  But for like a night re olm Street, Robert England who signed to Chrism.
• 13:13
  He goes to Chris from DJ Freddy. That's so cool, I am,
• 13:18
  I've got that. But I've got like the re releases from Mondo.
• 13:20
  Yeah, I because the original one that's not from eighty four, that was
• 13:26
  a German release and I think eighty nine or ninety. But the OG one
• 13:30
  is like super hard to find. Before we were talking about the guest you
• 13:35
  had on who has the collection. He has the animation cells. And this
• 13:39
  is one thing I regret selling years and years ago. I bought an animation
• 13:43
  cell from the Lemon Tree episode and it's the very first frame when Bart's on
• 13:48
  the skateboard just cruising down the street before he finds the wet cement and it's
• 13:54
  it was, yeah, the first couple of frames in and it was signed
• 13:58
  by Nancy Cartright and like this is when I was still living at home and
• 14:03
  I was like strap for cash and I'm like I had it framed in UV
• 14:07
  glass and everything, and some bloke from the Blue Mountains came down and bought
• 14:11
  it who was a collector, and he was really sweet, he was really
• 14:13
  nice and excited about it. I'm like, man, I should have held
• 14:16
  onto that because it's those pivotal moments that make these cells more expensive, and
• 14:22
  obviously the more characters in it, like you've got the whole Simpsons family and
• 14:24
  one cell, like that's that's worth a motza. But because the Lemon Tree
• 14:30
  episode is so iconic, Yeah, I just that was the one that got
• 14:35
  away for me. Imagine owning this the cell of the lemon Face. That
• 14:39
  would be iconic. Yeah, that or shoe Colder boy. I think it
• 14:46
  all shake harder boy. Yes, I think the lemon Face would just be
• 14:52
  the best. Wh Who would have thought, you know, they made that
• 14:54
  episode like ninety five or something that twenty years later the lemon Face would become
• 14:58
  one of the most mean things of all time. You know, I still
• 15:03
  think one of the and like we're obviously touching on the episode, and I
• 15:07
  think it's one of the best memes every And I don't know if you saw
• 15:09
  it, so you know that have you been up all night eating cheese?
• 15:11
  Scene? Marge comes out and it's the goggles with rain years eyes in him,
• 15:16
  and she goes, have you been up all night doing nothing? And
• 15:18
  it's just the goggles staring at her. That's all that to me. We
• 15:24
  usually cover that favorite moments that to me is one of the most iconics Simpsons
• 15:28
  moments in general, just the real ascid. But I just thought the ah
• 15:33
  oh ah yet all this left of his undies, that just makes total sense
• 15:41
  exactly. Yeah, what would be your earliest memories of The Simpsons do you
• 15:46
  think? I? Dude, I honestly remember year two when I was in
• 15:50
  Grade two and coming home and like you know, like back in the day
• 15:56
  primary school, you're in your school uniform right until you have a shower before
• 15:58
  bed, Like you just come home, you're still in your uniform. I
• 16:02
  remember sitting like this close to the TV, eating dinner and watching The Simpsons.
• 16:07
  I was one of those kids that could watch The Simpsons and South Park
• 16:10
  when I was in primary school, so I'd like watch the episodes, especially
• 16:14
  South Park, come to school the next day and like fill the kids in
• 16:18
  on what happened, like the ones who couldn't watch it. So that was
• 16:22
  definitely my earliest memory. And I told my fiancee I was gonna tell this,
• 16:26
  so I'd come out with some crazy facts and my dad would be like,
• 16:32
  where did you learn that? I'm like the Simpsons, And Dad's like
• 16:34
  huh. So my fiance and I met on Tinder and like, we just
• 16:41
  talked for a bit, but then we stayed in touch on Instagram. And
• 16:42
  she'll contest this. In my bio had said I got most of my education
• 16:48
  from the Simpsons. That was my Tinder bio. So many of us who
• 16:49
  grew up in the nineties, it was like we learned so many pop culture
• 16:52
  references and actual facts and celebrities. Well, for example, Mickey Rooney.
• 16:56
  I had no idea who Micky Rooney was, but I learned who he was
• 16:59
  from the Sims. Neither exactly. I'm like, who's this old guy that's
• 17:04
  staying Jimminy Jillicus. But did you find what's the thing that you feel like
• 17:10
  you learnt from the Simpsons that still you used to this day? For me,
• 17:14
  I remember going to school and it's the episode Trios of Horror six,
• 17:18
  the three D one three D Homer and Frank draws the three D cube on
• 17:22
  the chop board with the two squares and he draws a little Homer in the
• 17:26
  middle. I went to school the next day and Drew's cube and the kids
• 17:29
  were just flabbergas and they could not believe how did you draw this three D
• 17:32
  thing. I was like, well, it's a little secret. It was
• 17:33
  the Simpsons, well one of the kids like whoa, well, slow down,
• 17:37
  egghead. And because of that that memory, I've always wanted to get
• 17:41
  that little scribble tattooed on me. So the plan is I'm going to go
• 17:45
  to America at some point in a couple of years. And I spoke to,
• 17:48
  oh shit, who's the David Silverman, the animator, David Silvman is
• 17:52
  gonna draw it on me, and then I'm gonna get a tattooed. Oh
• 17:56
  that is bad. That's yeah. I In terms of like what I learned,
• 18:02
  it was mostly like American history, like stuff that we wouldn't know here
• 18:07
  in Australia, but like it just translates to something different in America. But
• 18:11
  also you know, like you know American wars, presidents, stuff like that.
• 18:15
  And again just drop these like facts to my dad, like useless pub
• 18:21
  trivia, and Dad's like, wait, they wouldn't have taught you that in
• 18:23
  primary school. IM like no, no, no, no, watched it
• 18:26
  last night at the Samsons And Dad's just like, so wait, we're spending
• 18:29
  all this money on school for you and you're learning more from a crude TV
• 18:33
  show and I'm like, yeah, I was like, shit, okay,
• 18:37
  but yeah, just obscure things like that. And also, like you said,
• 18:41
  like celebrities and stuff like that. Yeah, just the most random things
• 18:47
  ever, and those are embedded in my brain more so than what I learned
• 18:52
  in school. Like I don't want to know about Pythagoras. I want to
• 18:56
  know more about Mickey Rooney exactly. Yeah. Yeah, I feel like The
• 18:59
  Simpsons introduced me to horror with the trios of horror episodes. Do you feel
• 19:03
  the same, Yeah, I yeah, I feel like because like I got
• 19:10
  into Freddy through like Freddy Krueger, Like through my mom. Mum would always
• 19:14
  tell me about Freddie. Then I go to the VHS store where my parents
• 19:15
  would go grocery shopping, and I'm like, I don't want to and They're
• 19:18
  like, well, go look in the video store and we'll come get you.
• 19:21
  That's what we all did. It was the fucking hangout. It was
• 19:23
  the best time of the week, getting a hangout in the video store.
• 19:26
  Yeah. Man, And like I've said this before another podcast. I don't
• 19:30
  know about you, but Australian VHS horror covers from like the eighties were hardcore.
• 19:33
  They didn't hold back. There were some horrific stuff on those covers.
• 19:38
  We always say the podcast you walk down the store as a kid, and
• 19:41
  it's like, I've never seen the movie, but I remember the cover.
• 19:45
  The cover was just just captured your imagination. You think, what the fuck
• 19:48
  is this movie about? But because the covers, because covers are a thing
• 19:51
  anymore, really are they? Because the physical media is dying and the poster
• 19:55
  art on streaming service is always changing. But I can remember, for example,
• 19:59
  Evil Dead too, that skull cover that's just embedded in my brain.
• 20:02
  Yes, yes, yes, yes, and like it had a human eye
• 20:06
  in it, and I'm like, oh, that's really like, hang on,
• 20:10
  here's one that'll take you back down memory lane. Hell Raiser. Yeah
• 20:15
  yeah, yeah, like the shit that's on the back of that one that
• 20:17
  Yeah, it's always like you'd see if I cover and go, this looks
• 20:19
  scary? Do I dare look at the back because the back's gonna be worse?
• 20:23
  Yeah? Yeah. Man. So I definitely think with Treehouse of Horror,
• 20:27
  especially the ones where they acknowledge like Freddie Jason Pinhead, like the Shinning
• 20:33
  episode where Moe's like the Guls and I a little concerned that the project isn't
• 20:37
  moving forward, and he's like, oh, I crying out loud, and
• 20:38
  then they come in and grab him and all that. And then I remember
• 20:42
  the couch gag with Freddy and Jason and they actually got Robert England in to
• 20:48
  do the voice, and I just kept playing that over and over, and
• 20:52
  we have the photos somewhere. The Nightmare and Evergreen Terrorist episode. I remember
• 20:56
  pausing because Dad takes I remember Paul and getting the old disposable camera and taking
• 21:03
  photos of the screen of Willy with the rake and the sweater, and like
• 21:07
  half the screen is black and you just see the bottom of Willy. So
• 21:15
  I'm a big wrestling fan right when I was a kid, and I thought
• 21:18
  that I would take photos of my little poloid whatever, not poloid, but
• 21:22
  just like wind up camera of the TV screen during a wrestling pay per view.
• 21:26
  You take photos and tell my friends that I went to the event.
• 21:29
  So I'm sitting there and fucking taking all these photos of the TV. Get
• 21:32
  them developed. I'm so exciting, tell my friends I went to the event.
• 21:33
  And they're all just blurry black half, you know, can't make out
• 21:37
  shit. And I'm like ah, man, I'm glad you I wasn't the
• 21:41
  only one. I love that. Just try and pull one over them.
• 21:45
  That's great. Yeah, the good old tube tellies man, and then the
• 21:52
  oh yeah you would like for probably for all the relics you've got, what's
• 21:56
  just good for old school video games? Yeah, and I remember when the
• 21:59
  DVD started to roll out, like obviously, when they started with season one
• 22:03
  in that gray box set. I always remember constantly going to Big w to
• 22:07
  see when they're on special and just buy them all up. And then I
• 22:11
  got to season seven and I couldn't find the regular box version. It was
• 22:15
  Marge's head and I'm like, okay, I'll grab this one. This is
• 22:21
  gonna do my OCD and I hate this and yeah, it's just the bane
• 22:26
  of my collecting existence. Well, I remember when they first released those,
• 22:30
  they were only available in the head shapes first, and then after all the
• 22:33
  outrage and people gone, they look stupid on my shelf, they re released
• 22:36
  them in the boxes. So us, being the fools we are, we
• 22:38
  then bought the second set of the exact same thing, but just because the
• 22:41
  cover looked better. Yeah. Yeah, and they rely on people like us
• 22:47
  because they're like regardless of how angry they are, they're still gonna buy it.
• 22:49
  Who cares. Yeah, I feel like a lot of outrage online is
• 22:52
  all fake. Anyway, do you get like comments on your videos of just
• 22:55
  fake outrage? Sometimes I do. I try to limit how often I look
• 23:00
  at comments on my videos, especially if I know it's going to be a
• 23:03
  topic that's going to stir people up. So, like I did my Rebel
• 23:06
  Moon Part two review. I gave it a three and a half out of
• 23:07
  five, I'm like, yeah, this is far from perfect, but like
• 23:11
  the end battle sequence I really liked. And anyway, everyone's blasting the film,
• 23:15
  so I haven't. I've left that video. I haven't gone to the
• 23:18
  comment section. I'm like, I'm good because a lot of people comment as
• 23:22
  if you are telling them how to feel. They don't realize that you're just
• 23:26
  telling them how you feel. And you know, movies are subjective. The
• 23:33
  Simpsons is subjective, you know, it's media is subjective. So it's okay
• 23:36
  to like something that some people just can't fathom them. They they go to
• 23:41
  the lowest common denominator and they'll be like, well, you know, your
• 23:44
  your eyebrows are weed, your noseweed or you know your parents are fuck because
• 23:47
  you've got that opinion. I'm like, what, Yeah, it's especially when
• 23:52
  it comes to like comic book films, man, like you got to you
• 23:56
  got to tread very carefully. You don't want to angry the crew. Well,
• 24:00
  I've learned, especially with The Simpsons, if you post anything that's post
• 24:03
  season ten, you're in trouble. Yeah, and especially like whether it be
• 24:07
  your page or like rock Bottom or Copyr Hypoglobal Mega Nat, like someone will
• 24:11
  post a meme. Actually I posted a photo so you know Universal Studios in
• 24:17
  Hollywood they've got the Simpsons land. Yeah, my mates and I went there
• 24:21
  twenty twelve and it's where the quickimart is and there's an illustration of Millhouse.
• 24:26
  I think he's like graffeiting or something on the side and anywhere me in front
• 24:30
  of him, and I'm yeah, and I'm facing him, and I kid
• 24:34
  you not the way it's framed up perfectly, it looks like Millhouse has cut
• 24:38
  my leg and he's performing fullatio on me. And we didn't mean to do
• 24:42
  that. I just got the they got my mates got the photo and I'm
• 24:45
  like, oh my god, it looks like Millhouse is going to town down
• 24:48
  there and I just posted it like as a laugh on one of the pages,
• 24:52
  and everyone was like saying, you know, Predator and all that,
• 24:55
  and I'm like, oh, okay, I got it. The no no,
• 24:59
  no, Chris Hands is going to show up in a man This isn't
• 25:00
  good. The thing is, so if you I don't know, it's just
• 25:06
  you post anything season ten. They just feel like you're opposed. Like are
• 25:10
  you just saying you're like the Simpons because you like the Simpson because you want
• 25:11
  to get in their goodlie souse. You got to a podcast, And I'm
• 25:14
  like, it's okay to like things post season ten. You do understand that,
• 25:17
  right, It's okay for people to like anything something that you don't like.
• 25:19
  That's what they can't seem to understand is just because you don't like it
• 25:23
  doesn't mean it's bad. It means that you don't like it. No,
• 25:27
  that's it. And I still haven't watched it. Yeah. Look, I
• 25:30
  don't watch much new Simpsons these days. It's more or less like just having
• 25:34
  the time to sit down and watch it. But I do want to watch
• 25:37
  the episode. I watched Simpson Theory break it Down the other day of the
• 25:41
  episode how Larry the Barfly died. Okay, yep, have you watched that
• 25:45
  episode yet? No? Is it available on Disney Plus yet or do you
• 25:49
  just pirate it? I don't know, man, Like I'm assuming it just
• 25:53
  went out live like on regular Telly over there. But yeah, she was
• 25:59
  brief breaking down that episode. I'm like, that actually sounds pretty well written.
• 26:04
  So I feel like I need to invest a bit of time and you
• 26:07
  know, playing catch up. But like, because I'm so narrow minded and
• 26:11
  a child of nostalgia from the nineties and stuff like that, and like it's
• 26:15
  my comfort food from like season four to season I actually go to twelve because
• 26:22
  I remember back in the day, we had the bootleg foxtail box with the
• 26:26
  Dodgy sim card you put in yeah, yeah, and every Saturday and Sunday,
• 26:33
  man from nine to twelve, Fox say the Simpsons Marathon, And like
• 26:37
  my ritual on Saturday morning was go to tennis halfway through the marathon and tennis
• 26:44
  was literally like a five minute walk down the road and then come back and
• 26:48
  catch the last episode before it hit midday. And then you know, the
• 26:51
  days just started and just like and then when the Olympics were on and they
• 26:56
  had that massive marathon Simpsons FanFest. Mate, one of the highlights of my
• 27:00
  childhood. Mate, that was like we were spoiled, absolutely spoil like you
• 27:06
  could just go away, do something, come back and just it's just plain.
• 27:10
  It was so good. I've still got VHS tapes of me recording that
• 27:15
  marathon. That's so good. Oh man, I remember the Oprah special and
• 27:22
  Homer's like upro oupro chat. Fuck man, I'm so glad you remember.
• 27:26
  We must have watched the same shit, because I've still got that Channel ten
• 27:30
  to a marathon on a Friday night in like nineteen ninety five, and I've
• 27:33
  still got the videotaped me recording it. And I was hosted by two people
• 27:36
  from Neighbors and that was sort of like the chief TV guys before this,
• 27:40
  right in between the episodes, and they aired that opera skit for the first
• 27:44
  time during that that marathon. So that's why you probably we probably watched it
• 27:48
  at the exact same time one hundred percent. Man, Yeah, I think
• 27:51
  so. Yeah, And oh man, what else was there? There was
• 27:53
  a few other spellers. Yeah, I remember the Oprah one because Dad taped
• 27:56
  that one for me. Oh do you remember when they were it was a
• 28:00
  big huha, and they're like, you know, r rated Simpsons. The
• 28:03
  one went Homer and Margin naked trying to get home. They edited at nine
• 28:07
  point thirty in stand of seven thirty. Yeah, yeah, And mom and
• 28:11
  dad were like, you can't watch that one. I'm like, come on,
• 28:14
  Lynn, please be a friend and you're mean and I'm like, come
• 28:17
  on, man, and you watch it. And he went, ah,
• 28:19
  it's actually not that bad at all. No, it wasn't. It was.
• 28:22
  It was good. It was a good episode, especially when Home is
• 28:25
  getting dragged up the glass. Yes, I remember they on the trailer for
• 28:30
  that, they had like when Noah in front of in the front of everybody
• 28:33
  at the football field and they're covering themselves, But on the ad it just
• 28:36
  had big sensored marks in front of it. I was like, holy shit,
• 28:37
  we gotta see him naked, but of course you don't. Yeah.
• 28:41
  Yeah. And then the Simpsons movie came out and we saw Bart's doodle.
• 28:47
  I'm like, what, I don't have to feel about that. I was
• 28:51
  like that, I feel a bit uncomfortable, like the whole I remember the
• 28:53
  whole audience in our cinema. It was a nervous laugh it's like, if
• 28:57
  you laugh at this, something's wrong with you. I remember, though,
• 29:00
  when the movie finished, I know you said, there was that sort of
• 29:03
  awkwardness of I think it was good, but I remember when I watched it
• 29:07
  for the first time, there were people standing up and applauding it. And
• 29:11
  I'm thinking, I'm not going to do that, But there were people applauding
• 29:15
  the movie. I think they just felt that they had to because it was
• 29:17
  the Simpsons and have just been lifelong fans, and we waited so long,
• 29:19
  that was the thing. We'd waited so long, hadn't we for that movie.
• 29:22
  Yeah, it just seemed like forever it was in development, in development,
• 29:26
  which it was like it was in development health for quite some time,
• 29:29
  because I think they went through a fair few writers, did they in a
• 29:33
  fair few iterations of the script? Is that correct? Yeah? It went
• 29:34
  fair a long time like that. I think that's why they brought in the
• 29:37
  originals in the end. I'm like, Ah, these guys seem to know
• 29:40
  what's up. They wrote the Golden ear. Let's just get those guys in.
• 29:42
  I mean, that's the smartest thing you can do, man, because
• 29:45
  now more so they're fully aware that the Golden Era will always be the best.
• 29:51
  That's why it's the Golden Era. But yeah, I think the jokes
• 29:53
  landed pretty well. I just like it's just little things that stick out to
• 29:59
  here that you know, you still it's just like, you know, I
• 30:00
  was elected to lead, not to read just President Schwartzenegger, and I don't
• 30:04
  know, just very very funny, like even like the whole Tom Hanks thing,
• 30:08
  you know, tussle my hair, mister Hanks. I feel like that
• 30:11
  movie was the first half an hour was really solid, and then appeared with
• 30:15
  the epiphany of Homer just sort of just dragged for me, and then when
• 30:19
  they finally got to Springfield, it became good again. So I feel like
• 30:22
  there's goes about ninety minutes. I feel it there's about fifty minutes of good
• 30:25
  quality content in there. Yeah. When he has the whole existential thing with
• 30:30
  the lady in the hut and all that, I'm like, yeah, okay,
• 30:33
  Like I kind of equate that to when he has the chili and he's
• 30:38
  high as a kite with the coyote. Yeah, I'm like, but that's
• 30:42
  because he had a chili. Like he's a bit crook, but he'll come
• 30:45
  good. Yeah, that's when it definitely did dip. But also I think
• 30:51
  it was very sweet when Marge leaves the tape for him and she says,
• 30:56
  you know, I tape this over our wedding thing, and I was like,
• 30:59
  oh, that really hit me in the fields. I'm like, I
• 31:02
  kind of haven't felt that way before whilst watching The Simpsons, and I'm like,
• 31:04
  that was some pretty good writing. I like that. Yeah, that
• 31:07
  was the first time I remember watching feeling genuine emotion, going oh shit,
• 31:12
  And you could feel it in the cinema too. Everyone was sort of going,
• 31:15
  oh man, you could sense the saddness in the room. Yeah,
• 31:18
  but something that's not sad. Radioactive Man, an episode that I chose for
• 31:22
  us to discuss because you know, you were you are you still Cosplay Chris
• 31:26
  or you are now Chris Stanley, what's the deal? So on? So
• 31:29
  I got the main YouTube channel Cosplay Chris, and I just changed my name
• 31:33
  on Instagram to kind of like broaden the horizon, so it's just Chris Stanley
• 31:36
  Official. But yeah, still Cosplay actually did a shoot yesterday as Christopher Reeve
• 31:40
  Superman, which is fun, but yeah, just try and like, so
• 31:44
  I should have like started the second channel ages Ago Man, like just keep
• 31:47
  the build videos separate from the talking videos with like movie reviews, entertainment news
• 31:51
  stuff like that. So yeah, like, this is definitely one of my
• 31:56
  favorite episodes because the idea of a beloved comic book character. It's like is
• 32:00
  if Batman was coming to shoot here in Sydney. That's a massive deal.
• 32:05
  And I think just everything that goes on in that episode is comedic genius.
• 32:10
  The way Springfield carries on knowing that Hollywood is coming to their town, just
• 32:15
  little things, the way Wigham and the mayor carry on, you know,
• 32:21
  it's just great. I feel like this is what would happen. Sydney's a
• 32:23
  big city. This is what would happen if Hollywood came to Geelong, smaller,
• 32:30
  smaller than Sydney. You know, this is like, holy shit,
• 32:31
  it's hollywoods coming. But I love the way they flipped the script here.
• 32:34
  What's the world to do with this? With the Hollywood guys being the good
• 32:37
  guys and Quimby and like Springfield being the villains. Essentially, Yes, that's
• 32:43
  correct. And also this was the first hang on, I've got my trivia
• 32:46
  here. This is the first episode to be digitally colored. Yeah, I've
• 32:51
  got that my notes too. I thought, I remember watching this as a
• 32:52
  kid, feeling this looks different. There's something about this that feels not off,
• 32:58
  but just different to the other episodes. And it's because this is the
• 33:00
  only one in cool season. Yeah it does. Till season twelve, they
• 33:02
  didn't do it again, so it always just stood out to me, going
• 33:06
  what's going on here? But that's why digital coloring and they ye had season
• 33:09
  twelve and they did it full on from season fifteen. I think that's when
• 33:13
  I made the switch, and like to this day, my two best mates
• 33:16
  to know, like we'll just be like we will say something and it's just
• 33:21
  like, yeah, it's real, and then my mate Peter'll be like real
• 33:23
  accid. My quote that I use all the time in real life is just
• 33:29
  going to put my shoes on whatever Nikola says, are you ready? And
• 33:35
  are you and your undies in the living room with slot cars. I tried
• 33:37
  to be not all the time, but yeah, like it. It's definitely
• 33:44
  like one of the most quotable with my mates, Like we'll again just be
• 33:46
  like look at my range or just like E usually just tape a bunch of
• 33:52
  cats together. There are so many elements of this episode that I appreciated more
• 33:54
  as an adult than I was a kid, Like the crusty like you just
• 33:58
  said, with the range. As a kid, I didn't get whatever,
• 34:00
  it's just crusty being crusty. As an adult, I'm like, that's so
• 34:02
  fucking good. Yeah, Like when I was a kid, I thought he
• 34:05
  said rage rag and I'm like, yeah, you don't look that angry,
• 34:07
  like I'm pitchy. You're happy, prusty. I don't know what's going on,
• 34:10
  but yeah, just also just how just what kind of what it says
• 34:15
  about Hollywood as well, and you know when a big budget thing comes to
• 34:19
  a small town and how the town can change, and like you said,
• 34:22
  it flips the switch where Hollywood, the Hollywood people are the good guys,
• 34:24
  and Springfield turns into like not grubby, money hungry. But you see the
• 34:30
  way Quimby carries on, Wigan carries on. You know, if there's an
• 34:32
  animal that's snooting around just set, we'll have it wiped out, we'll have
• 34:37
  it extinct, and shops increasing their price. It's kind of like you know
• 34:39
  when it's a long weekend and all the petrol prices go up. Even snake
• 34:44
  upped these prices. That's amazing it did. Yeah, exactly. I was
• 34:46
  going to bash you apparently, except I feel like this episode though, as
• 34:50
  a kid, whopped my idea and perception of what Hollywood was, because I
• 34:53
  finally visited in twenty sixteen and I got there and I was like, this
• 34:58
  is not what I expected, very disappointed. Well, we rocked up on
• 35:02
  Hollywood Strip at about two pm in the afternoon, and the first thing I
• 35:06
  saw when we got it we went quite on the proper strip, we're all
• 35:09
  the Chinese theater and stuff, was we're a little bit further down and we're
• 35:12
  going to have the car, and the first thing I saw was a homeless
• 35:14
  dude pissing on a street sign. That was the first thing I ever saw
• 35:16
  in Hollywood. Welcome to Hollywood, baby, Yeah, exactly right. Yeah,
• 35:21
  it's basically I felt then how the kids felt when they arrived at the
• 35:24
  World's Fair. You know the wad fur No no, no, yeah,
• 35:29
  the wardfur. Did you at least walk away with some wigs? I tried
• 35:31
  to find some know what I walked away was with less money. Because Nikolas,
• 35:35
  she's one of she's a patsy. So we'd walk down the street,
• 35:37
  and I'd say, right, everyone's gonna want you to take a photo of
• 35:39
  you with them for money. I said, don't do it. Don't go
• 35:43
  do that, Chewbacer, don't do anything. The first thing she does goes,
• 35:45
  hey, this guy's gonna snake, let's take a photo. I'm like,
• 35:47
  oh, Nikola, it's gonna cost us fifty dollars and yeah. You
• 35:52
  never go near those people. And then the rappers hanging out handing out their
• 35:57
  demo discs and you grab it and then they're like whoa, oh, whoa,
• 36:00
  where's a donation? And then they start threatening you were like, oh,
• 36:02
  what have I done. I've told the story on the podcast numerous times.
• 36:07
  When Nicola thought would be a good idea, because this is all on
• 36:08
  our honeymoon, a good idea to walk from the main Las Vegas strip to
• 36:13
  the old one. And when you're doing that, that's a fair walk,
• 36:16
  isn't it. Yeah? Fuck oth it is and it's hot. And we
• 36:20
  get about halfway right and there's this guy, I assume homeless, I don't
• 36:24
  know, but wrap a demo disc, right, but he just walks up
• 36:28
  to us out of nowhere from the shadows, and he was just in my
• 36:31
  ears. I thought he said, can I show you photos of my baby?
• 36:36
  I was like, yeah, sure, cool dude, whatever you reckon.
• 36:38
  But he pulls out his phone and I don't know what he actually said,
• 36:40
  but he starts playing this demo rap on his phone. What do you
• 36:44
  think? I said, Oh, it's cool here. Yeah, yeah,
• 36:45
  I'm taking donations. Okay. I remember thinking at that time, I don't
• 36:50
  actually have any cash on me right now, there is no one around.
• 36:52
  I'm probably about to die. That's what I remember thinking that moment. I
• 36:57
  remember looking at seeing nobody, going, we're in here, and he followed,
• 37:00
  and the entire time he walked with us for about five minutes, just
• 37:04
  rapping this song in my ear. I could feel his breath on my ear
• 37:07
  and the smell, and eventually we saw this little bar. Just ran straight
• 37:12
  in there, and the guy in the bar goes, yeah, they know
• 37:15
  they can't come into these places, so they just go away. I'm thinking,
• 37:17
  holy shit, welcome to America. Yeah, man, you've got to
• 37:22
  have your wits about you. Yeah. That that happened in Venice Beach and
• 37:28
  then also in New York when they were hanging out the discs and I still
• 37:31
  have it I'm like, if I'm gonna give this man this money because my
• 37:35
  life is being threatened, I'm gonna keep this disc. And his name was
• 37:37
  Swaggy Jeff. And I've still got the disc and Dad found it in storage
• 37:43
  one day and Dad's like, mate, who's bloody Swaggy Jeff. And I'm
• 37:46
  like, oh, told him the story and he put the disc in and
• 37:51
  it's just obviously like wrap And Dad's like, this is fucking awful. Mate,
• 37:54
  you've got a bit of Perry Como or something to play. I'm gonna
• 37:58
  google it. Swaggy Jeff. Swaggy Jeff the most handsome hustler from the Bahamas.
• 38:05
  He has three Oh, Swaggy Jeff sold me a CD on the sidewalk
• 38:12
  in New York City. That's that's a Reddit post. There you go.
• 38:19
  It comes forward and I really want to find him. The only thing is
• 38:22
  the city only had one song on it. I can't believe that's on Reddit.
• 38:27
  That's amazing. Yeah, that's from ten years ago. Yeah, we
• 38:29
  got to find Swaggy Jeff. If you're out there listening, Swaggy, get
• 38:31
  in touch. But yeah, radioactive man, though, what were your first
• 38:36
  thoughts rewatching? Did you rewatch it for this review, or you just go
• 38:37
  one based off memory because we've just watched it so many times already. No,
• 38:40
  No, I've got it on my laptop here and I rewatched it the
• 38:45
  other morning. Chloe and I were actually watching it and having coffee in bed,
• 38:49
  just playing catch up. But again, it's just the little things,
• 38:52
  man, Like just the fact that Barton Millhouse are wearing hats and they never
• 38:55
  wear hats at the beginning, and it's just like they most fixed their air
• 38:59
  conditioning. And also the little bit where where Skinner's like radio Man, radioactive
• 39:07
  man, stupid. I don't know why I could hear that, but anyway,
• 39:10
  Yes, and then the hats once again. Yeah, it's definitely one
• 39:16
  of those episodes that sticks in the back of my mind. But also,
• 39:20
  like you said that, the Easter eggs, like when they up their prices,
• 39:23
  signage, things that are just peppered throughout that episode. There's always something
• 39:28
  to look at in every frame. I think it's one that sort of just
• 39:30
  taps into my my nerdy self, especially with comic book Guy going to the
• 39:36
  nerd obsessive to find out who's in who's gonna be cast as radioactive Man.
• 39:39
  Just takes me back to the glory days of the internet. Prince in that
• 39:43
  chat room. I don't know whether it's supposed to be Princes, but it
• 39:46
  sure as how it looks like a really weird version of him, right,
• 39:50
  yeah, yeah, I also love he's like comic book guys little and you
• 39:54
  hear his shoes squeaking on the floor. Yeah. I always, even as
• 40:01
  a kid, I was like, that's I'm young, but that's Prince.
• 40:06
  Like, why is Prince in a movie gossip chat room? Maybe it was
• 40:08
  their way of dissing him for not doing the episode, and now they're going
• 40:13
  to do the Return of Leon Kompowski the Michael Jackson episode. Oh right,
• 40:17
  I didn't know they were going to do that. Yeah, they wrote a
• 40:20
  sequel and it was going to be Princess said of Michael Jackson, and Prince
• 40:22
  agreed to do it. Blah blah blah. They wrote the script. So
• 40:25
  the script is out there somewhere, and I'm pretty sure that the writers have
• 40:30
  put screenshots of online somewhere on Twitter. But basically, he read the script
• 40:34
  and said he didn't like a few things and got his I think he's chauffeur
• 40:37
  to like rewrite the script. For him or something, and they're like,
• 40:39
  we're not having this, and then he just pulled out. So I think
• 40:44
  they were just angry about that. Oh my god. I had no idea
• 40:47
  about that. And because I know Michael Jackson went under an alias, he
• 40:53
  didn't get credited as much Jackson did. John J. Smith was John Something,
• 40:58
  wasn't it. Yeah, yeah, some sort of alias. But I
• 41:00
  had no idea that Prince was gonna come in for like the follow up episode.
• 41:05
  I didn't even know there was going to be a follow up episode.
• 41:07
  Yeah, I'm kind kind of glad they didn't makes Michael Jackson want stand out
• 41:09
  more even though the episode doesn't exist anymore, it doesn't Oh what's been turned
• 41:14
  down by the actual creators of the show. Alig basically came out and said
• 41:16
  and in twenty nineteen that they're taking it off of any streaming services because and
• 41:22
  add of syndication, because they feel that Michael Jackson used it to groom children.
• 41:27
  Oh what to be like, Hey, I was in the Simpsons type
• 41:30
  thing, like he came to usk, came on the show, and like
• 41:31
  he would have put that episode on when he was grooming kids. So now
• 41:36
  they've just yep, the episode's gone from history. Oh man, I had
• 41:39
  no idea about that, because didn't they didn't they do that with a few
• 41:44
  other episodes that were a bit I wouldn't say problematic, But depends on the
• 41:47
  country. I know, in the I'm pretty sure thirty minutes of a Tokyo
• 41:52
  wasn't allowed over there when it was originally out. I remember that. Yeah,
• 41:55
  yeah, there's a couple others, but anyway, but yeah, anyway,
• 41:59
  I feel like this episode they're radioactive. Man. Do you feel like
• 42:00
  it would have benefited from more celebrity cameos? Because I tend to prefer when
• 42:04
  they keep it more Springfield and Springfield celebs like Randy and wolf Castle. But
• 42:07
  I feel like this episode might have been one where you could have sort of
• 42:09
  gone down the home at the bat Rap with more celebs coming in. I
• 42:14
  don't know, what do you think? I think so? I think because
• 42:17
  the inclusion of Hollywood coming to town they're filming a movie, I think that's
• 42:22
  when it could have given the writers permission to just go ballistic and have an
• 42:27
  array of cameos. Same with the episode with Kim basing at, Alec Baldwin
• 42:30
  and Ron Howard. That's a pretty big lineup, but I definitely think they
• 42:34
  could have gotten away with it. But at the same time, you run
• 42:36
  that risk of it being too much of a distraction and taking away from the
• 42:40
  core characters. It's called the Simpsons because it's about the Simpsons and also Springfield,
• 42:45
  but I think it could have been an opportunity to have the cameos,
• 42:50
  like that's their excuse to go ham and have an abundance of cameos, special
• 42:54
  guests like celebs voicing and coming in to do bit parts and stuff like that.
• 43:00
  So it's kind of yeah, it's a double edged sword. I think,
• 43:02
  like too many, it's a distraction, but also you know, have
• 43:06
  them peppered throughout. I think it could work. Man, what about you,
• 43:08
  Well, it's funny that you brought it Ron Howar, because I was
• 43:10
  thinking the exact same thing that maybe bring in a director to play the director
• 43:14
  role. Not necessarily get actors, but have the director be somebody. I
• 43:17
  thought, because Ron Howards hilarious, I thought him being him playing that role
• 43:22
  would have worked. I think, ah, dumbassy, was it run?
• 43:27
  How would you have done it again? Yeah? Exactly, like obviously like
• 43:32
  Mickey Rooney, but like Mickey Rooney's Mickey Rooney. Like, I feel like
• 43:36
  there's only a certain demographic of people that would instantly be like I know that
• 43:40
  person. And then obviously you know rain Year is you know Springfield celebrity.
• 43:45
  Yeah, I don't know, Like I directed, that would have been great,
• 43:47
  Like imagine if like they actually had not seniors spilled bettergla, they had
• 43:52
  actually Steven Spielberg come in, And I was thinking the same thing. It'd
• 43:54
  be so cool. I feel like Spielberg will be up for it too.
• 44:00
  He's like a fun guy. I feel like he'd be like a secret fan
• 44:02
  if they ask him. He's like, I actually have a confession. I'm
• 44:06
  the biggest Simpsons fan ever. Like you just like there are those celebrities that
• 44:08
  have weird obsessions or not weird, but you wouldn't pick it from their personality
• 44:13
  type. Wasn't George Clooney a fan of South Park and that's why he voiced
• 44:17
  Sparky the dog, the gay dog. Yeah? Yeah, so that was
• 44:21
  legit him him he did the barking. Yeah, that's amazing. I know,
• 44:25
  right, but I'm pretty sure because he was George Clooney at that point
• 44:29
  and South Park was sort of just starting he probably thought. His agent probably
• 44:31
  went, Okay, you can go on the show, but you're not going
• 44:34
  to be George Clinton. You can be something else. He's like, right,
• 44:37
  I'll be the gay dog if I have to. But at the end
• 44:40
  of the day, though radioctive Man as an episode, I feel like this
• 44:43
  is a it becomes a Mialhouse episode, doesn't it, And how he manages
• 44:46
  to cope with the instant fame of being a child star, and it's kind
• 44:50
  of like a reflection on how parents push their kids to become stars and then
• 44:52
  live vicariously through them. It's what Luan and Kirk do here. He's like,
• 44:58
  I don't want to audition, and she pushes it. He gets the
• 45:00
  role, and of course we see them enjoying the fame all the money that
• 45:02
  comes with it, and he's like, I don't want to do this.
• 45:05
  She can't hear him over her jacuzzi suit, Millhouse, baby learning a drug
• 45:09
  dealer. Keep her aware. Man. Whenever you see Phil Hartman like Lionel
• 45:15
  Hearts and Troumicclure just makes me so sad. Oh Man, like we when
• 45:20
  because a lot of people that I talk to and I'm like, yeah,
• 45:23
  Phil Hartman and I and they're like, yeah, like he doesn't do much
• 45:27
  these days, and I'm like, oh, buddy, I have something to
• 45:30
  tell you. Everything he was in and like even jingle all the way,
• 45:35
  just like, oh, Howard, this cookies are so good. Just he's
• 45:39
  he was just so good man. And again like even though it was like
• 45:45
  little bits where it be trou McClure or Lionel Hearts or even just other little
• 45:50
  obscure characters, it was just so damn good. But going back to Millhouse
• 45:55
  becoming the star. I respect the writers forgeting it to Millhouse and not Bart
• 46:01
  and having it be a character that isn't in the immediate family. But then
• 46:07
  also that way Bart learns that famers and everything, like Millhouse has already learned
• 46:10
  that right off the bat. He's like, I don't want this, like
• 46:14
  obviously Kirk and LAWANDU. But Bart sees it through Millhouse and is like,
• 46:20
  maybe this worked out pretty well because this isn't exactly what's cracked up to be.
• 46:23
  I think it was also nice that Bart wasn't jealous of Millhouse. He
• 46:28
  just sort of worked out a new way to get involved in the film with
• 46:30
  that having to sort of try and sabotage Millhouse's position. Yeah, what did
• 46:34
  he say to Lisa? Lisa gives the big speech and he says something like
• 46:37
  yeah, I'll just suck up to him or something like that. Love lot
• 46:39
  of people do with God. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. When
• 46:45
  he goes in and sees Millhouse and the director comes and he's like, again
• 46:49
  it again, I got it again. Like I say that quote all the
• 46:52
  time of the podcast, when I say again again and again it again,
• 46:57
  and then someone else is like, we did it. It's done. Yeah.
• 47:00
  As a kid, I always thought I was a Bart, But the
• 47:04
  more older I get, I feel like I was definitely a Millhouse. Well
• 47:07
  do you feel like you're a Millhouse or a Bart? I was a Bart?
• 47:10
  Yeah. So primary school I was a shithead, Like I was always
• 47:15
  going to the principal's office. I so, I actually this sounds so bad.
• 47:21
  I bit a kid on the arm after Bart did something similar once and
• 47:24
  I got sent to the principals. I was, And that's when mom and
• 47:28
  dad were like, I think we've made a mistake letting him watch the Simpsons.
• 47:30
  And yeah, I was a bit of a feral child in primary school.
• 47:34
  Soon as as soon as I hit high school. It was I was
• 47:37
  like a little nerdy kid, but yeah, I was definitely a Bart like
• 47:40
  absolutely, and I actually I actually told a teacher to eat my shorts in
• 47:45
  grade three. Man, what about ass Ah? Yeah, man, it
• 47:51
  didn't go down well. But like, you know, looking back on it,
• 47:53
  like, and my mum was the type she wouldn't call it the Simpsons.
• 47:58
  I don't know if your parents were this, but it's a very I
• 48:00
  realized it was a very common theme. Mom would be like, oh,
• 48:02
  you're not watching the Bart Simpson Shower, are you? Mom? Simpsons?
• 48:07
  Well? See, I wasn't allowed to watch The Simpsons until I was six
• 48:09
  because it's the famous iconic story I've always told on the podcast of Triosopara One
• 48:15
  bad dream house, the family get possessed, make it gets a knife out
• 48:19
  of the kitchen draw. I went and did the same thing, walking to
• 48:21
  the lande with the family, had a knife in my hand. And that
• 48:22
  was the end of me watching The Simpsons for several years. So not good.
• 48:30
  It's funny though I'm a parent now, wow, So I always say,
• 48:32
  what was mum worried about? You know, the Simpsons? Isn't that
• 48:35
  bad compared to what they watch these days. The Simpsons isn't that bad.
• 48:37
  But I now watch the Simpsons, and particularly I was talking with Guy yesterday
• 48:42
  about the Itchy and Scratchy cartoons. I now watch it and go I'm not
• 48:45
  sure whether I want Elliott to watch this yet, because Elliott, my son's
• 48:49
  nearly six, so he's kind of old enough to know about it. But
• 48:52
  my daughter's three nearly four, and she can't quite differentiate the different difference between
• 48:55
  what's real and what's not. So if she's watching Itchy and Scratchy and Scratches
• 49:00
  getting his head cut off and blood squeating it everywhere, I think it's too
• 49:02
  much for her. I don't know what are your thoughts. It's a tough
• 49:06
  one because actually, Itchy and Scratchy was my dad's favorite part of The Simpsons.
• 49:12
  Every time an episode was on, in the episode like Dad would laugh
• 49:16
  like the creepy old uncle. He'd be wheezing and slapping his knee. And
• 49:21
  I was young, so I don't know, Like, obviously I'm not a
• 49:27
  parent, but I'm at that age now where I can look back and be
• 49:29
  like, okay, like watching Itching and scratch and be like if I had
• 49:32
  a child, Now there was maybe similar age to either your son or your
• 49:37
  daughter. I'd be like, as goofy as this is, and it's stylized
• 49:43
  because it's a cartoon. Maybe there's a time and a place for this.
• 49:46
  I think I think gonna wait till he's maybe seven. I don't know,
• 49:50
  Yeah, And I always I don't know why. When I was younger,
• 49:54
  like really really young, and I just started watching it, the one Itchy
• 49:58
  and Scratchy episode that terrified me. And it's the stupidest episode when Scratchy gets
• 50:06
  the ants put on his head and goes up through into the TV and Elvis
• 50:10
  is like, ah, this show ain't no good. Like that just scared
• 50:15
  me. I don't know why. Just weird things like that that scare you
• 50:19
  as a kid. You look back and you're like, what was wrong with
• 50:21
  me? I used to be terrified of My favorite movie is ET, But
• 50:23
  as a child, I was terrified of it. I was back now and
• 50:25
  go, what the hell Brendan's ET? I don't know, Like mind you
• 50:30
  that that shot where he like flares up and screams and all that, that's
• 50:36
  like the one that terrified Yeah. And also when he's in the ditch dying,
• 50:42
  I'm like, that's horrifying what happened to him. I remember when she
• 50:46
  the mother comes in and takes the kids out, and he was like mom
• 50:50
  and starts screaming and crying because you're taking the kids away from me. I
• 50:52
  was like, that fucking haunted me. Man. Yeah, it was a
• 50:57
  bit like when you think about watching that as a kid, You're like,
• 51:00
  that's heavy, Like that has a lot of heavy themes in it, Like
• 51:02
  it's not just about, you know, a boy's relationship with an alien who
• 51:06
  becomes his best friend. I'm like, there's a lot of heavy themes in
• 51:08
  this. Do you find though, talking about like relating to characters? I
• 51:12
  find the older I get I was discussing with guy yesterday as well, the
• 51:15
  older I get I relate to characters that I've never used to. So as
• 51:17
  a kid related to the kids. Obviously, as you old, you relate
• 51:20
  to Homer and whatnot. But I find now as a parent, even though
• 51:23
  these guys aren't necessarily parents, Like Mo, for example, I relate to
• 51:28
  the anger and bitterness that Mo has to the world. It's like he's like
• 51:30
  a stress ball that I can live vicariously through. And Grandpa like shaking the
• 51:35
  fist of the cloud. Do you find that you've had moments like that?
• 51:37
  Now? Where has it happened to you with Grandpa kind of thing? Yeah?
• 51:42
  Yeah, I there are times like where I'll just get so cranky over
• 51:46
  the most trivial thing, and I'll make sure no one's around when it happens
• 51:50
  because I get very embarrassed and I'll have my episode and then be like what
• 51:55
  was that all about? I'm like, how old am I getting now that
• 51:58
  I'm like reacting way Whereas back in the day, like early twenties, like
• 52:01
  fine, Now it's like little things all, like you know, making sure
• 52:07
  I get stuff done during the day, like you know, around all the
• 52:10
  errands and stuff like that, and also planning a wedding as well, like
• 52:14
  that's like a stressful thing in itself. And you know, because Chloe's from
• 52:20
  South Africa and mum and dad live in Mauritius. So Mum and Dad arrived
• 52:24
  here a few days ago, My sister in law and brother in law are
• 52:28
  coming here tonight, so it's all happening and it's kind of like Christmas vacation
• 52:34
  when the whole family's over and it's a full house and everything's happening because my
• 52:38
  parents live like fifteen minutes down the road, but I'm there like nearly every
• 52:43
  second day because I've got my workshop there where I do a lot of work.
• 52:45
  You know, we get like an Etsy order or something, so it's
• 52:49
  just all flat chat. All systems go until next week so and then all
• 52:52
  of a sudden it's over, and then it's just been all little things,
• 52:58
  man. So I definitely relate to Mo and Grandpa for sure. And I
• 53:01
  also like, obviously when you're a kid, you relate to the kids.
• 53:05
  But then when you find out that you're now older or around the same age
• 53:09
  as Homer and Marge, you're like, oh what, Yeah, no,
• 53:15
  I never thought i'd get to this, because I was saying to Nicola the
• 53:17
  other day, when we were like five or six, our parents were the
• 53:21
  same age and they seemed fucking old man. And now we are that to
• 53:27
  our kids. You know, they must look at us and go, they're
• 53:28
  old people. I don't feel old, but I'm old man. Yeah.
• 53:31
  And it's like that meme of the parents from Rugrats when you realize you're the
• 53:37
  same age as them and you're like, oh my god, I'm I'm feeling
• 53:40
  DP pickles. This is crazy, not good at all. No, no,
• 53:45
  no, see I find myself relating to Mow and Grandpa more and more
• 53:46
  often. Yeah, one hundred percent. Man, And like, oh man,
• 53:51
  I don't know if it's a problem down in Geelong, but our biggest
• 53:52
  problem at the moment is little shits on those four thousand dollars e bikes at
• 53:57
  the moment that are like fanging a on paths and everything. And we've got
• 54:00
  a dog, We've got a little English Couga spaniel. Like they're doing like
• 54:05
  fifty k's on these little bike paths and like it might just take our dog
• 54:09
  just to veer off to go smell something clip him. And I get so
• 54:14
  angry, and I'm like, was I have this obnoxious when I was a
• 54:16
  kid? And I'm like, no, it's definitely the children's fault. It's
• 54:21
  definitely the children who are wrong. I knew I was getting old when I
• 54:23
  started getting annoyed by people's haircuts. Oh but mind you like some of the
• 54:28
  like mullets and the broccoli haircut. Come on. I look at him like
• 54:32
  what are you doing, buddy, and Nicholas like you're just old. Yeah
• 54:36
  that's true. Did you have the ball cut when you were a kid.
• 54:39
  I had the Nick Carter part down the middle. I had that too.
• 54:43
  I had the frosted tips as well, but Mum insisted I had a bowl
• 54:45
  cut when I was a kid, and I think that didn't help with bullying
• 54:49
  in high school. In primary school, she's like, oh, you look
• 54:52
  a door where I'm like, if you say that, I must like I'm
• 54:54
  like Nelson, I'm like, I feel like punching myself. Well, was
• 54:57
  anything il you want to talk about? Radioactive man? Before? We aren't
• 54:59
  getting to your cosplay. I've covered all the good bits, right, I
• 55:01
  think, like, yeah, I think that's pretty much it, Like obviously
• 55:05
  like that you can go on and on about the jokes and all that.
• 55:07
  I just love, like Millhouses, is this a real X ray machine?
• 55:12
  Brilliant? Good question. We'll look into that. It was a great voice
• 55:16
  for that character, wasn't it. Ah Yeah, yeah, I just But
• 55:21
  then I also love because that's Hanka's area when he's like I'm telling you we're
• 55:24
  sixty three years old and he's dead. It's just that gets you so many
• 55:30
  times in memes as well. It's just like, hey, we should get
• 55:31
  that person. They're dead. Ye just also like, wow, look at
• 55:37
  that ed. Okay, this place must be hot. They don't even have
• 55:40
  big advertising, all the correct spelling. I think for me, this standout
• 55:46
  scene though, is definitely the acid scene. That's the one that stuck with
• 55:51
  me the most. I don't know about you, what's the what's the one
• 55:52
  scene that you met with the most? Ah, it's the acid It's the
• 55:55
  acid scene, but also just the last shot of rain year after he's put
• 56:00
  the goggles on and he's like oh h and he just sits there like a
• 56:04
  little schoolboy prepped for his doom and he gets smashed away, and then obviously
• 56:07
  the ah oh, and then Krusty being like, I want to talk about
• 56:13
  this coffee. It's kind of like when he comes at the end of Who's
• 56:17
  Mister Burns? Part one? He's been a runa for six weeks? What
• 56:21
  have I missed? You know? Exactly? Exactly? Yeah, Yeah,
• 56:25
  definitely the acid scene. And I think just anything just with filming, and
• 56:30
  just also like Ralph and the boys on set, pestering the teamsters place,
• 56:36
  painting horses and cows and all stuff like that. It's just like again like
• 56:42
  going back to my mates and I quoting it like we'll be having a slow
• 56:45
  day, saying we'll just be like so lazy and surly it's so good,
• 56:49
  like Homer's relating to the teamsters. It's just me now, Like getting paid
• 56:52
  to do nothing seems like the dream. It's oh man, Like some people
• 56:57
  on movie sets, they just I'm like, why, why are you?
• 57:00
  What are you doing? That's what my wife says to me usually on a
• 57:04
  day to day basis. I've got to ask. Those POGs behind you hanging
• 57:07
  there are not only POGs, they are Simpson's Tasos. Oh my god,
• 57:12
  the Tazos. I used to have the fucking purple that you put them in.
• 57:15
  And I'll move the camera up so you can kind of see. Can
• 57:17
  you kind of see them? There we go Star Wars ones, Yeah,
• 57:21
  I can see them, There we go. POGs are sort of in there.
• 57:22
  They're the Tazo's in there as well. Just yeah, trying to move
• 57:25
  around. That's my vinyl collection, yep, yeah, love it. A
• 57:30
  lot of crazy crap on the walls. Also the trading card wall over there,
• 57:32
  see the trading card wall. The entire wallpaper is just nineties trading cards.
• 57:36
  Oh that's so sick. We actually just had a card shop open like
• 57:39
  two kilometers down the road. It's a tiny little shoe box, but they've
• 57:43
  got mostly like Pokemon Yu Gi Oh basketball, but they had an unopen Mint
• 57:49
  Batman nineteen eighty nine box of cards and bubblegum, and I'm like, I
• 57:55
  took my father father in law in there the other day and I'm like,
• 58:00
  what that gums like? And it's like when Milhouse bites the gum and it
• 58:02
  breaks his snaith. Yeah, yeah, oh, I got you unboxing out
• 58:08
  and you channel will be good views though, right, surely one hundred percent,
• 58:13
  But then you get people that are just like, why did you open
• 58:15
  it? It was mid yeah, just like like it'd be like comic book
• 58:22
  Guy when he's the collector trying to like keep Lucy Lawless in mid condition exactly.
• 58:27
  I remember because we got a second separate channel. I called it nerd
• 58:30
  Daddy. I do videos with my kid unboxing stuff every moe. He's like
• 58:32
  a baby, and we get so many people with unbox like Funko Pops take
• 58:36
  him out and play with him. My son when he was like want to
• 58:37
  be like bashing him around, and the comments are like, why are you
• 58:40
  taking it out of the box? It's not worth it any thing anymore.
• 58:43
  And I'm like, I don't care. It's a fucking toy. I'm playing
• 58:46
  with it. He's a kid. Let him enjoy it. Yeah, it's
• 58:51
  like live vi carously through him because you're clearly never gonna take your shit out
• 58:53
  of the box. So this is what it looks like out of the box.
• 58:57
  This is what it looks like when you do what what was originally intended.
• 59:00
  Trying to look around because I've got a lot of crazy crap on the
• 59:01
  walls too. But this was found the other day. I made the mine.
• 59:05
  Found this at a flea market. The rings from the Billy Zane Phantom
• 59:10
  some shit you're keep in the box. Yeah, I'm like, I had
• 59:13
  them when I was a kid, but you found them for five bucks at
• 59:15
  this flea market here in Sydney. I'm like, dude, can you please
• 59:19
  grab them for me? Like that's that's it, because like, yeah,
• 59:22
  just other little things. I don't know if you remember the McFarland toys back
• 59:27
  that was so great. I love the world of Springfield figures. I look
• 59:30
  back now and think, fuck, I wish I had collected those. Oh
• 59:34
  yeah, I used to have the diorama of Krusty Burger. We bought that
• 59:38
  in New York when Dad took Mom and I had the Krusty Burger one.
• 59:43
  And this is so obscure. I remember when Red Rooster did their kids meals
• 59:46
  and they had the Simpsons. You collect them and put them on the couch.
• 59:50
  Do look over there, you see it? No, don't tell me.
• 59:53
  Oh my god, I've got the Red Rooster box as well, you
• 1:00:00
  magnificent bastard. That is amazing. I've got three of the boxes still pushed
• 1:00:05
  out that it is flat, flat packed. Wow, that is impressive,
• 1:00:08
  because no one goes to Red Rooster anymore. No one really went to Red
• 1:00:12
  Rooster in the first place. I remember there were like maybe five times in
• 1:00:15
  my life, and every time it was always really slow, so we never
• 1:00:17
  went back. But I remember the rooster rolls were always delicious, just the
• 1:00:21
  chicken rolls. And I found this coupon box. We've gone through the garage.
• 1:00:23
  We're cleaning out the garage the other day, and I found this box
• 1:00:27
  of coupons that I just know I didn't keep them old coupons, and it
• 1:00:30
  was Red Rooster and it was two rooster rolls for five dollars, and I
• 1:00:35
  was like, what a time to be alive? That was. It's like
• 1:00:37
  moon Bige, just like we don't get that anymore. We found I found
• 1:00:42
  Hungry Jacks bouches as well, and it was two whoppers for three dollars.
• 1:00:45
  Can you imagine two whoppers for three dollars? Oh, it's a bargain,
• 1:00:51
  I know, right, And I have great memories of name. We'd always
• 1:00:53
  we'd go to her house on school holidays and that meant we'd go to Hungry
• 1:00:57
  Jacks. So we'd always get the two for three dollars. What would be
• 1:01:00
  to walk down Hungry Jackson? Nan? So whatever I see Hunger Jackson to
• 1:01:01
  think of school holidays Nan space oh Man, Yeah, that that's that's prime
• 1:01:07
  like childhood memory. And then like the six week school holidays that was the
• 1:01:12
  best. But getting back to those figures from Red Rooster, I feel like
• 1:01:15
  in Australian I've only learned this recently. Australia had a lot of collectibles,
• 1:01:20
  usually assigned to some sort of junk food, but Simpsons collectibles that we could
• 1:01:22
  collect over the time. That's whether it be the Tazo's those things, remember
• 1:01:27
  the little I've got them in here somewhere either over there, the little motion
• 1:01:30
  cards that came in the c ceds. Remember CC's were a thing with the
• 1:01:32
  Simpsons for a while. I lived on CC's when I was a kid,
• 1:01:35
  and I think that's why I was a little bit of a chubber when I
• 1:01:37
  was a kid. And I do remember those those, yeah, particular ones.
• 1:01:42
  I remember they did something similar for when Batman and Robin came out.
• 1:01:45
  They had the plastic kind they had a little film cell. Oh my god,
• 1:01:52
  I love it. You've got an inventory of like my childhood in your
• 1:01:54
  room right there. That's that's amazing. The plans for me on the Nerdaddy
• 1:01:59
  channel is to show all this shit to my son from when I said,
• 1:02:01
  this is when I was a kid, and that's going to be the channel,
• 1:02:02
  just me just get bringing in all the nineties useless shit. Yeah,
• 1:02:07
  yeah, absolutely, I oh god, I do actually want to get the
• 1:02:12
  issue one of radio Active Man and just have that framed, just because it's
• 1:02:15
  such a good looking cover too. It is it really is. Yeah,
• 1:02:19
  I've got my first edition like you've got the other Simpsons comic because the other
• 1:02:23
  side is the divisional Fantastic four covers and of Homer coming out of the ground.
• 1:02:28
  That's the back of it, right. Well, that's the thing I
• 1:02:30
  always got confused with. I'm like, is that the proper issue one or
• 1:02:32
  the one of Homer coming out of the ground? Is that the proper issue
• 1:02:35
  one? Homer coming out of the ground is the issue one? But I
• 1:02:37
  thought the back of the back page of that was that is it? Not?
• 1:02:40
  No? No, this one right here? You want a nostalgia trip
• 1:02:45
  mate, one of my favorite shows of all time, love dinosaurs? Yeah,
• 1:02:50
  yeah, I want to start a podcast on dinosaurs. You should because,
• 1:02:52
  like again, it's nostalgia, man. But yeah, this one says
• 1:02:54
  Issue one Special Collectors Edition. But then I see the other one with Homer
• 1:02:59
  coming out of the ground, Like, which one came first? The one
• 1:03:00
  Come of the Ground definitely came first, I'm pretty sure, but I could
• 1:03:04
  be wrong. I always under the assumption it was the first one. But
• 1:03:07
  who knows. This one has like a really good this one has a really
• 1:03:10
  good Bartman storyline and it comes with a poster as well, which is really
• 1:03:15
  cool. But yeah, let's promote your stuff before we before we wrap up.
• 1:03:17
  So basically, you still do any cosplaying things, So what do you
• 1:03:21
  putting more energy into these days. So like, I've got a few side
• 1:03:24
  hustles apart from YouTube, because you can't always rely on YouTube. So I
• 1:03:28
  have an Etsy store where I sell a lot of my props because I have
• 1:03:30
  silicon molds where I can make resin castings and copies of all these pieces.
• 1:03:36
  So a lot of them are like, you know, Freddy Krueger busts,
• 1:03:37
  Michael Meyer's stuff, a few Batman pieces, Hans Moleman. Oh, yes,
• 1:03:44
  so Hans Moleman. So I sculpted a hyper realistic bust of Hans Moleman
• 1:03:49
  back in twenty seventeen. I've still got the mold for it. I actually
• 1:03:51
  want to recast it in translucent flesh tinted resin, do all the things.
• 1:03:57
  I add all the wispy hairs one by one. The eyes are custom made
• 1:04:01
  and they're all blood shot and just disgusting. But I actually want to get
• 1:04:05
  like a child sized mannequin and sculpt Hans's body and make a full statue of
• 1:04:12
  Hans with a little sad daffodil. And yeah, I sculpted that, and
• 1:04:16
  I was actually really proud of that one. It got a lot of attention
• 1:04:19
  and a lot of people were just like, what the fuck is that thing?
• 1:04:23
  And I'm like, it's Hans more Man. I'm like, I want
• 1:04:26
  to like spray something on it that makes it smell like a peanut. Yeah,
• 1:04:30
  so yeah I did that, Like you know, the Big Les Show.
• 1:04:33
  I sculpted Sassy years ago, and I've still got the mold for that.
• 1:04:36
  And I showed Jared I forget he surnamed the creator, and he's like,
• 1:04:40
  mate, that's so cool. So I got the thumbs up from him.
• 1:04:43
  So I sculpt a lot of like obscure background characters. I love doing
• 1:04:46
  stuff like that, but mostly it's been like horror Batman stuff. So but
• 1:04:51
  also now I've got the second channel just called Chris Stanley, where I just
• 1:04:55
  do like movie reviews, collectible reviews. Like so this is really nerdy,
• 1:04:58
  but yes this morning put up an unboxing video. So this right here is
• 1:05:02
  a vintage knife and this is actually the knife they used on the original Freddy
• 1:05:10
  Krueger glove. So they actually used tomato knives that were made in like the
• 1:05:13
  sixties, seventies and eighties, so originally it's like that, and then they
• 1:05:16
  took the handle off, turned it upside down, and I found one in
• 1:05:20
  Mint condition. So I did an unboxing video that people respond well to that
• 1:05:25
  on the second channel because I do a lot of horror and like a lot
• 1:05:27
  of prop stuff as well, so cosplay, Chris, I keep it build
• 1:05:30
  stuff and costume stuff like if I'm wearing something. But the second channel,
• 1:05:35
  which I do a lot more frequent uploads because you know, there's always movie
• 1:05:40
  news, movies to review stuff like that, So putting a lot of effort
• 1:05:45
  into the second channel just to get the momentum going, because it's hard man,
• 1:05:47
  Like you know how it is just to keep fresh, keep ideas fresh,
• 1:05:53
  but also grow that audience. Well everyone's just doing it now, which
• 1:05:58
  makes us just so hard to stand out. I've had this discussion with Guy
• 1:06:01
  the other day about rewatch podcasts and how it used to be so easy to
• 1:06:05
  start to rewatch podcasts, but now every person who starred in the show is
• 1:06:11
  now doing a rewatch podcast of the show that we're in, and they're just
• 1:06:14
  stealing all the attention. It's like, let us have something please. Yeah.
• 1:06:17
  Yeah, And I've kind of like thought of it. I'm like,
• 1:06:20
  maybe I should go back and like revisit stuff for stuff like that, but
• 1:06:25
  yeah, you it just people just do that, and it just they get
• 1:06:28
  the views and everything, and look, it shouldn't always be about the views,
• 1:06:30
  but when you put in all that work and effort, it definitely does
• 1:06:33
  help. Oh that the views matter, because that's how you get press junkets,
• 1:06:36
  that's how you get all expenses paid trips mate the views. Yeah,
• 1:06:41
  yeah, that's it. That's it. So yeah. Look, I've definitely
• 1:06:45
  had some great opportunities from the cosplay world as well. I've been fortunate enough
• 1:06:49
  to work in the States, the Middle East, of all places cosplaying,
• 1:06:53
  which is crazy. Do you find it's a different audience with the two different
• 1:06:57
  channels or do you think a lot of them have sort of come over you
• 1:07:00
  Are you finding new fans through your second channel. I'm finding new fans through
• 1:07:03
  the second channel absolutely. Like when I announced on the main channel that I
• 1:07:08
  started the second channel a year ago, actually, you know, a few
• 1:07:12
  sifted over, but others just stayed for the cosplay stuff, which is fair.
• 1:07:15
  And I feel like if I continued that and uploading movie reviews cosplay stuff
• 1:07:20
  in the one channel, it gets confusing for your audience, like what are
• 1:07:24
  you doing? Whereas if you're doing all talking stuff movie related stuff, then
• 1:07:28
  people know what they're subscribing to, so I think that again, I should
• 1:07:32
  have done it years ago, but you know, better late than never.
• 1:07:35
  So yeah, how hard is it to get people because you've got three hundred
• 1:07:39
  and seventy five thousand subscribers to think on your main channel? Is that right
• 1:07:42
  something around there? How hard is it to get even ten percent of them
• 1:07:45
  to come over to a new channel. It's hard, man Like, it's
• 1:07:48
  really hard. And you've also got to be at the mindset. Some people
• 1:07:51
  are going to just be like this isn't for me, and you're like,
• 1:07:54
  yeah, fair enough. But then that's when you build up that new audience
• 1:07:58
  that are there because they know exactly what they're getting, and you know they'll
• 1:08:02
  you know, watch most of the videos that you upload each and every time,
• 1:08:06
  so it's good and you know, you build a good little community.
• 1:08:10
  You know, you have your people that always comment, and then you get
• 1:08:14
  newcomers. They'll be like, hey, man, I just subscribe today.
• 1:08:15
  Good stuff, you know, greetings from Canada or Portugal or Brazil, and
• 1:08:19
  you're like that's awesome, man, like, welcome, that's very very cool.
• 1:08:23
  So you never know, like what the algorithm is going to bring you
• 1:08:26
  and then there are those videos that you don't put any effort into and it
• 1:08:30
  does so well, and then you do a banger of a video where you
• 1:08:33
  put your heart and soul into it and it gets bugger all views and you're
• 1:08:38
  like, I don't know what's going on. What's good? Is new?
• 1:08:40
  Do you have a second guess yourself? Oh? All the time. All
• 1:08:44
  the time. I second guess myself. I compare myself and I saw a
• 1:08:47
  quote a few months ago. I'm like, man, I got to keep
• 1:08:49
  remembering that. Don't compare your five months journey to someone's five year journey.
• 1:08:55
  So yeah, there are some people on YouTube that are friends of mine and
• 1:08:58
  I'm like, man, they just have to fart on camera and it just
• 1:09:01
  explodes, like it just and but you're also like, they've been doing that
• 1:09:05
  channel for quite a long time, so it's and again like it's it's a
• 1:09:11
  lot of effort, a lot of effort, man, thinking on your feet,
• 1:09:14
  coming up with fresh ideas. But I love it. I love doing
• 1:09:17
  the second channel because I feel like there's a lot more that I can do.
• 1:09:23
  Whereas opposed to doing a cosplay build or like a custom collectible, it's
• 1:09:27
  expensive, it's very expensive to do. It's a big edit and that's why
• 1:09:30
  when I announced a second channel, I said things are probably going to be
• 1:09:33
  spaced out more on the main channel now because like my last one was a
• 1:09:39
  Batman custom collectible from a month and a bit ago, but we're about to
• 1:09:43
  put a Superman one up, so you know, as long as you're transparent
• 1:09:45
  with your audience, it's like, guys, obviously that's not going to be
• 1:09:47
  as frequent, but I'm still doing cosplay stuff in the background, but obviously
• 1:09:51
  want to work more on reviewing movies, entertainment news and doing press junkets and
• 1:09:59
  stuff like that. I love doing that. Like that trip to New York
• 1:10:01
  that we were talking about last month was great, and yeah, it definitely
• 1:10:08
  builds up your confidence, your people's skills and stuff like that. And reviewing
• 1:10:12
  film is hard. A lot of people look at it and be like,
• 1:10:15
  you've got to sit there and talk about a movie. I'm like, it's
• 1:10:16
  actually it can be hard, especially trying to get all your thoughts and feelings
• 1:10:19
  out without having to edit the video and be like, damn, I should
• 1:10:23
  have said this, should have said that, and also not being afraid to
• 1:10:27
  have an opinion. That's against everyone else's. Like when everyone's in a certain
• 1:10:31
  mindset of how good or bad a film is and yours might be different,
• 1:10:35
  you get scared to upload that video in fear of backlash. But that's when
• 1:10:40
  you've got to be like, man, if someone has something bad to say,
• 1:10:43
  they're the one with the problem. Usually someone would just be like,
• 1:10:46
  oh, man, that sucks. You didn't enjoy it. Hopefully we can
• 1:10:49
  agree on it next time. I'm like, man, if everyone was like,
• 1:10:53
  YouTube would be an easier place to be on. And some people are
• 1:10:57
  just like, I'm unsubscribing your fuck. I don't agree, And I'm like,
• 1:11:01
  announcing your unsubscribing is like a Karen announcing you just lost the customer.
• 1:11:06
  I can't go on our iTunes reviews because we've got like thousands of five star
• 1:11:12
  reviews on there, but occasionally people on to check at one start and there'll
• 1:11:15
  be something like, been listening to this show for years and now there's ads
• 1:11:18
  on there. I'm not listening to ads, And I'm thinking, so,
• 1:11:21
  I've given you years of free entertainment, but you don't want to have to
• 1:11:26
  but you don't have to pay for Yeah, if you want this show to
• 1:11:28
  continue going we need to put some ads in so that I can survive financially.
• 1:11:31
  Yeah, how dare you? How dare you? I'm unsubscribing? What
• 1:11:34
  what? Yeah? Exactly like or like you do like a sixty second integrated
• 1:11:42
  ad on a YouTube video and people lose their minds. I'm like, sorry
• 1:11:45
  if I'm just trying to earn an extra bit of quid, because it's very
• 1:11:47
  hard and temperamental being on YouTube. Yeah, are you earning a living through
• 1:11:51
  this? Now? Is this your job? Ah? It is? But
• 1:11:54
  not only YouTube, man. I could not rely on YouTube obviously because things
• 1:11:58
  are more spread out on the main channel, so that revenue goes down there.
• 1:12:00
  Revenue did build up a bit on the second channel, and then it
• 1:12:04
  kind of tape it a bit. But again, you've got to keep the
• 1:12:06
  momentum going, build up the subscribers, and then you know, eventually the
• 1:12:11
  regular views definitely do come. But obviously I've got Etsy, my Etsy store,
• 1:12:17
  and then campaigns like social media campaigns, stuff like that. In July,
• 1:12:23
  I'm going up to Warner Brothers Movie World to do a talk on batsuits,
• 1:12:27
  which will be fun. So you know, that's a nice little bit
• 1:12:30
  of pocket money, and you know, I'm in my element. But there
• 1:12:33
  are a lot of times when studios pr companies kind of try to take advantage
• 1:12:40
  of, like not just maybe like other creators and they're like, hey,
• 1:12:43
  we'll send you this if you do this for free, and I'm like,
• 1:12:45
  no, I don't want that product. No, So it's like but also
• 1:12:48
  like, you know, that is a cool product, But at the end
• 1:12:53
  of the day, like I'm putting effort into this and I need it'd be
• 1:12:57
  nice to get compensated financially because I could be focusing my energy somewhere else where
• 1:13:01
  there is a compensation involved or earning something from it. And unfortunately, a
• 1:13:08
  lot of new creators or novice creators that are still fresh to doing campaigns unfortunately
• 1:13:14
  get taken advantage of. And it sucks because there are some talented people out
• 1:13:17
  there, you know, building stuff or you know, doing tutorials or you
• 1:13:21
  know even you know, make up tutorials and stuff like that, like really
• 1:13:26
  talented people, and they unfortunately just get taken advantage of sometimes because they think,
• 1:13:30
  oh, it's X, Y and Z, which is a big studio,
• 1:13:32
  I'm working with them, Da da da, and they'll just keep they'll
• 1:13:35
  keep pushing and pushing the friendship. So yeah, you've got to kind of
• 1:13:39
  have your wits about you. I find too, when you're a content creator,
• 1:13:43
  when you align yourself with a brand, I just suppose have a Disney
• 1:13:45
  where we've worked with Disney before because they have the Simpsons on Disney Plus and
• 1:13:49
  things like that. Now, when you're a content creator that relies on support
• 1:13:53
  from your listeners on Patreon and things like that, when you align yourself with
• 1:13:57
  big brands like Disney, a lot of people just assume they must be making
• 1:14:00
  money. Then if Disney's working with them, that's not the case. Disney
• 1:14:03
  might chuck you some money or send you some a free subscription to Disney Plus
• 1:14:06
  or something. But just because you're aligned with the big brand doesn't mean that
• 1:14:11
  you shouldn't support these guys because they're probably still doing it tough. Yeah.
• 1:14:14
  Absolutely, And sometimes it can be the biggest studios that are the biggest tied
• 1:14:17
  asses and it's not a dig it's just facts. That's just how it is
• 1:14:20
  sometimes. And then you have other studios that aren't as not well established but
• 1:14:29
  not as bigger or popular, and they're just like name your price. I'm
• 1:14:34
  like, wow, that's really refreshing, and they give you creative freedom.
• 1:14:38
  They're like, we want you to have your own voice. It's got to
• 1:14:41
  be you. We don't want to give you a script, but obviously,
• 1:14:43
  like if you want to type something up, shoot it to us and just
• 1:14:45
  make sure you're hitting all the right talking points. But you've got to make
• 1:14:48
  sure it's all about you, otherwise your audience will see straight through and be
• 1:14:51
  like, what are you doing your shill When it comes to editing your videos.
• 1:14:57
  See I hate the cliche editing of many YouTube videos of logs where it's
• 1:15:00
  the quick cutaways, the zoom and the zoom outs they're random, and then
• 1:15:04
  cutting back to you talking normally. How are you with that? Because I
• 1:15:09
  just can't see myself ever bringing myself to doing that, even though I know
• 1:15:12
  that's exactly what the algorithm wants. I just don't think I could ever do
• 1:15:15
  it. How are you with that? I try and keep it as real
• 1:15:19
  as possible, like I always try and just be me, Like, obviously
• 1:15:23
  there is a bit of heightened energy, but I want people to get excited
• 1:15:29
  or just have a good time watching my videos, and if they get a
• 1:15:31
  laugh out of it, that's alsome. I always try and be goofy self,
• 1:15:34
  deprecating, humor, all that all for that, Like, I love
• 1:15:39
  making people laugh. I think that's the best feeling in the world in terms
• 1:15:43
  of like you know, when like someone does a vlog and they put their
• 1:15:46
  hand over the lens and then it cuts to something else, I'm like,
• 1:15:49
  ah, that's not really me. I try and keep it as real as
• 1:15:55
  possible, but I get a bit like my my brain's got so much going
• 1:15:59
  on, and then it kind of trips over my words. So I do
• 1:16:01
  fumble a lot. So I do have a lot of jump cuts, especially
• 1:16:03
  with like a movie review. I do sometimes stutter, so like, you
• 1:16:10
  know, thank God for jump cuts. So I like with editing, I
• 1:16:13
  try and keep it as real as possible. Like when I unbox that knife
• 1:16:17
  yesterday, I try and try to keep it as raw as possible because there's
• 1:16:21
  a big deal for me. I've been after this knife for fourteen years and
• 1:16:26
  it's all like come to this. I try to, you know, just
• 1:16:28
  try and like maintain my excitement but also just be professional, but like keep
• 1:16:34
  it real. Like when you're unboxing this thing, people want to be in
• 1:16:36
  there be as if like they're they're there they're amongst it, they're involved.
• 1:16:43
  But yeah, with I did some vlogging in New York. Again, try
• 1:16:45
  to keep it as real as possible and try and keep it funny as well.
• 1:16:47
  Like I do so many Simpson references in my videos. It's not funny
• 1:16:51
  and I rely on a lot of Simpson references. And some people with the
• 1:16:55
  comments will be like, that was very good. I'll do a cutaway to
• 1:16:58
  a clip, or like if a film's bad, I'll be like, you
• 1:17:03
  know, these are my thoughts, and then it cuts to crusty and he's
• 1:17:05
  like, what the hell is that? Just stuff like that. I felt
• 1:17:11
  the Simpsons is one of those things that if you grew up in the nineties,
• 1:17:14
  you'll always be able to find a friend. If you're a fan of
• 1:17:15
  the Simpsons, you'll always have a Simpsons moment that you can sort of bond
• 1:17:19
  over one hundred percent man and like because of these groups on Facebook like Yours,
• 1:17:26
  rock Bottom, Compy, Hypoglobal, MegaNet Obscure, there's Obscure Simpsons moments
• 1:17:31
  stuff like that. It's crazy how many people out there have really just relished
• 1:17:41
  the Golden Era and everything and just how beloved and how protected it is it
• 1:17:45
  is crazy and like people you wouldn't expect as well, like people you'd be
• 1:17:49
  like, you look like a lawyer, and then they'll start quoting like Season
• 1:17:53
  six back to front. You're like, did not pick that, not at
• 1:17:57
  all? No, all right, man, Well, it's been a joy
• 1:17:59
  to have you on. Let's plug it your Etsy store before you go,
• 1:18:01
  and we find you on Etsy. So it's just called props by Chris on
• 1:18:05
  Etsy. And you know there's a bit of horror stuff, a bit of
• 1:18:08
  comic book relay stuff like Batman stuff, stuff like that YouTube. The main
• 1:18:12
  channel is Cosplay Chris a little bit slow there at the moment, like the
• 1:18:15
  uploads are spread out a lot more. But the second channel, which has
• 1:18:18
  more frequent uploads, is just called Chris Stanley And you'll see my melon in
• 1:18:24
  the thumbnail little avatar logo there. But yeah, man, thank you for
• 1:18:29
  having me on. Like I said, I'm actually like a really big fan
• 1:18:30
  of you, and guy kept me company on my plane ride home from New
• 1:18:35
  York last month, so it was actually really good to see a few good
• 1:18:41
  laughs on the plane by myself. So I probably looked like a crazy person.
