  Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, Welcome to the Large Ner Drunk Collider podcast.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: The podcast it's all about the geeky things in the
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: world around us and how very excited we are about them.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: I'm Ariel cast In, and with me, as always is
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: the amazing Jonathan Strickland.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Whoa huzzah, huzza huzzah, because that's what Ariel's gonna be
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: here in and or say in this weekend.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: I think I'll be hearing it more than saying it.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: I don't I don't you know that? Did you hear
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: about the time where the the the the set dressing
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: crew hung the huzzah sign upside down outside front gate
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Like they didn't realize what the word was and they
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: thought it went the other way around. So so that
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: year the cast would yell out yeas because that's what
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: it looked like. We fixed it before opening gate, but
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: like we came out there for dress rehearsal, there's this
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: big site that just says yazd and we're like, wait,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: that's huzzah upside down. They hung it upside down.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So we're talking about this because my band is
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: performing at the Georgia Renaissance Festival this weekend. As well
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: as May sixteenth and seventeenth. It's gonna be a slightly
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: shorter episode this week, which is great because Jonathan has
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: things to do and I still have to fix some
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: of my costume. Turns out thirteen years of sitting in
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: a box creates some damage.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was debating on whether or not I want
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: to try and do a sausage casing fitting of my
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: costume and wear a costume on Sunday. I'm still going
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: back and forth. I may just go in mundane clothing,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: but it would be it would be an altered costume anyway,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: because well, I'm not working, so I don't need to
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: wear all the different elements. But yeah, I don't even
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: I'm not even fully convinced I could fit it too.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Everything I can only half fit into things. I had
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: to do some creative altering, which thankfully doesn't show up
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: too badly. However, I am going to freeze to death
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: because the only cloak I have is purple and green
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: veild it and it's going to be chilly on Saturday.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I still say wear it and just deal with it.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: No one's going to care. No one cares about what
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: the musicians wear. They care about what the musicians play,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: they don't care what they wear.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Speaking of fun Renaissance antidotes, one of the former fight
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: captains for Battle Chess posted that they like an old
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: picture like, oh, that was such a great time, and
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: gen posted underneath it, are a former king posted underneath it,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: not Battle Chess, And then our mutual friend Jen said,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: you know, it took me many years to realize that
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: that was supposed to be said with horror and not
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: like exasperation.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: I mean to be fair, like, I think the horror
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: does become real the later in the season you get
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: because that chessboard became the surface of the sun.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: That is true. That is true. And I made the
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: comment that like it was today that I realized that
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: it was supposed to be said before, which I don't
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: think is actually true, but I did often forget.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we we have obviously tons and tons of battle
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: stories from our respective years at the festival, many of which,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: but not all, of which overlapped where Ariel and I
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: were on cast the same time. But yeah, it's exciting
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: that your band is going back to fill in for
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: a couple of weekends, and I plan on being there
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: with my partner Becca and a friend of the show,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: shay Lee, will be there too, and we're gonna wander
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: around and we're gonna watch Ariel's band play. We might
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: see a few other acts. Mostly, I think I'm gonna
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: be besides enjoying the acts, I'm going to be taking
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: in like what's different. How does the street cast look?
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Does it feel like it's filled out a bit so
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: that the festival doesn't feel like largely empty. That was
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: my biggest problem when I would go as a patron,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: because as part of the street cast, like, your goal
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: is always to create an environment that feels immersive and
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: feels like lived in. But if you walk through that
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: and all you see are other patrons and it's just
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: like it just looks like a big outdoor fair ground,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: then it kind of you don't really have much immersion
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: to work with.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, for sure that will be interesting. It is
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: hard because my band has filled in before, but it's
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: been so long that like back then, I kind of
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: knew how everything ran and so it was just easy
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: to step in for a day because it was all
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: had and this year, like I have pore. Jonathan knows
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I have a significant amount of anxiety just because I
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: remember how things went, but I don't know if there's
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: still that way.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's new management at the Georgia Renaissance Festival. They
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: took over really like two years ago, but this is
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: like the first big full spring season with the new
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: management team in place and really running things. And you know,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: it's some of We've been through a couple of regime
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: changes at the festival, but it was the same owner.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: It was just different management, right, Yes, different Now it's
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: a different owner and different management. And my hope is
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: that all of that is ends up being a net
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: positive for the people who work there, which I think
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: I genuinely feel trickles down into a net positive for
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: patron experience. That's my belief, which I am biased because
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: I did work the street cast, but I really do
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: think that that's the case. So I'm hopeful. I'm hoping
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: that people come up to play with us, which may
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: or may not happen depending on if we're in costume,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: so that may be another another vote to go in Monday.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: If I am going in Mundane, I plan on wearing
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: my nineteen ninety nine cast shirt that references the Blair
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Witch Project, which I'll also reference later in this episode.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: There's a couple of street casts who I think you
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: might know.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I know the King and Queen.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: You know the King and Queen, I don't you might
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: know the Black Widow. I don't remember if she was
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: around when you were doing it.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: I don't know who's playing her. I know the Queen,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: the African Queen, who is also there. She goes way back.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: So and then Bryce. Probably some of the fairies. I
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: think I know at least one of the fairies.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, the gargoyle is the same as always.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know who's playing fairies this year. I think
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: a former fairy. I don't know. I feel like some
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: people have come back. I know that the person who's
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: playing the natural List this year used to play the
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: rat Catcher and was also a part of a former
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: improv try people did stuff.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah. Yeah. Also, I know that the Navigator, the
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Lord Navigator, will be there because he is always there.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think. But I think there are like
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: some older casts that came back, and it's just a
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: matter of whether they overlapped if you or not, because
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: I know you came in and out.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it was still long ago.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I don't remember.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I was always joke. I would work like
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: two seasons and then retire for like five seasons, and
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: then I'd come back again.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Oh and then kat Lyons is back and I'm excited
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: to hear her music.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: So yeah, playing Lady Prudence, which I'm sure she has
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: done at Georgia before, but mostly she did that at
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: other affairs. When she was at Georgia, she was largely
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: a faery.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: At least while we were there.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she also played a lady in waiting at least
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: one year, I'm pretty sure.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't remember, but yeah, it'll be exciting and
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: interesting to see. Despite all my anxiety, I am. I
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: am looking forward to it. I know it's going to
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: be great. I hope that audiences enjoy the weird missmash
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: of music we're going to play.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: And the weather is going to be really mild. I mean,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: you're probably going to get some rain tomorrow, which stinks.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Keeps changing right now. It says in Fairburn, which is
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: where the Georgia Renaissance Festival is. If your local and
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: you're coming out, my band's playing at Drunk Monk Pub
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: off and on throughout both days this weekend. It'll change
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: for the next weekend that we're there. But by nine
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: am it'll be a five percent chance of rain and
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: by ten am it'll be ten percent awesome, and like
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: so by ten am it's not even showing right now.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: That does keep going back and forth because weather is
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: impossible to actually predict. But I'm hoping that it's that.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: The big thing is that it's when I arrive, it's
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: going to be low fifties.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: That's not that bad though, Like you've been there when
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: it was below freezing.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: So yes, and I got sent home with frostbite and
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: hypothermia and I had a cloak, I mean the beginning,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: like not actual, but like it was beginning to creep up.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: So they're like, you need to go get warm, and
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: they actually sent me home and I tried to, like
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: I held warm things, I bundled up, I put extra
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: layers on. It still didn't rain. It's not right. It
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: snowed one opening weekend at Fair when I was there before.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: I haven't I haven't ever worked there when it snowed,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: but I have rehearsed there when it was snowing, and
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: like we rehearsed in the snow, which was quite the
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: experience when you're doing combat on a stage that's getting slick.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it's uh, the weather in Georgia is unpredictable,
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: but yeah, I think Sunday, the high I believe is
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: in the low seventies, so it should be.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Pretty nice, perfect performing weather.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, great, great weather, no matter if you're a patron
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: or you're working, like it definitely gets brutal toward the
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: later half of the season, like you're getting truly torrential downpour,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: which is not fun because when you're working, you still
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: got to be out there or you're getting there when
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: it's you know, getting up into the nineties and the
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: same with the humidity, and it's just wearing those costumes
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: and man, it's rough, like you have to look out
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: for each other because heat exhaustion is a real threat.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: It is. I'm very lucky for the weather.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Well, now we have our weekend plans all laid out
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: before us, and I really look forward like this is
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: great because the next time we record, I'll get to
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: say what did you watch last week? Like Ariel's band.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: But before we get into what we watch, let's go
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: over to the question of the week, and it is
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: May day as we record this and among other things.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: The first of May is known for many things, if
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: you ask Jonathan Colton, but one of those things is
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: celebration of labor solidarity. So in honor of labor solidarity,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: our goofy question of the week is what is a
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: geeky job? And it could be real or it could
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: be something that's in fiction that you would want if
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: you could not do what you already do. So you
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: can't be an actor in the Middle Ages. That actor
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: is part of what you do already. Yeah, it's got
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: to be something else.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: So I can't be an executive assistant either, darn it.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: No, shoot, I was going to be executive assistant to
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: a dragon.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. I actually would not want
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: that at all because dragons, I'm sure.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: Not fun, very temperamental.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, lots of lots of shady stuff they do
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: depending on the dragon. So the problem is, like I've
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: I've had a lot of geeky career aspirations throughout my
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: life growing up as a kid. So it would be
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: one of those, I'm pretty certain, But which one?
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Which one it? Well? Remember, whatever you choose right now
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: does not define all of eternity Tomorrow. You might have
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: a completely different geeky job that you would.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Want to do inacceptable, so I have. I'm gonna pare
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: it down to two.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: One is a fashion designer. I used to love designing fashion,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: but I hated sewing. But I've gotten better at sewing,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: so I would revisit that. Or I used to want
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: to work with like exotic animals.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Oh cool, like a like a zoo keeper or something
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: like that.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: My sister is currently working with Zoo Atlanta and does
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: educational outreach with animals. So nice. She's although a lot
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: of the exotic animals she works with are ones that
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: we used to have as pets, like ferrets.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, ferrets, lizards and reptiles and stuff.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah that's cool.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what about you?
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: I wrote Dum Captain of a Pirate Ship, but a
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: fiction version of a pirate ship, not the real version
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: of a pirate ship.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, a real version would be pretty.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Rough, pretty grim, pretty grim. But I like the you know,
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: the whole swashbuckling fantasy stuff, like as you know, the
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: D and D campaign that I had been working on,
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: still haven't played it yet. It has is very much anchored,
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: so to speak, pun intended in swashbuckling and piracy, but
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: in a fantasy setting. But yeah, I think of things like,
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: For one thing, I've always liked certain ship designs which
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: are not at all practical but are really pretty on screen.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: So like the Captain Hooks ship, the Jolly Roger, or
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: the Tarantula, which I believe was the Pirate of Penzance ship,
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: or the Queen Anne's Revenge, which was a real ship,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: but the one that was in the otherwise Terrible Pirates
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: of the Caribbean movie was not at all representative of
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: what the actual ship looked like. But it looks great.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Do you get motion sick on small.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: Vessels, No, No, not as long as I'm able to
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: get sea air, like I'm if I'm below decks, then
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: it can get a little dicey, depending upon but usually
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: that's only if it's like the seas are really rough,
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: or I'm in a ship that not a ship but
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: like a tender boat that's going super fast, like then
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, I don't feel so good. But on
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: cruise ships and stuff, those those are so big, like
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: the world might be moving around you as opposed to
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: you moving through it.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: I'm mostly okay on cruise ships, and I'm mostly okay
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: on smaller boats. I just kind of have to like
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: watch how I handled myself, knowing how you mainly get
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: motion sickness, So make sure that I'm facing a certain
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: direction or moving at a certain pace.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Oh please. I was just gonna say, the only time
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: I can remember feeling a little motion sickness on board
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: a boat was a tender boat where it was an
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: enclosed tender boat, so there's no access to the outside air.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: It was warm, so there wasn't like really any air
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: conditioning inside the boat, and the seas were choppy as
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: we were moving very fast. So it was like a
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: perfect combination of it's too warm, you're crammed in there
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: with too many people, you can't get access to fresh air,
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: and there's a lot of motion. Becca got it way
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: worse than I did, but I wasn't feeling so hot
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: either by the time we got to know the pier.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: I tend to get more carsick or more motion sick
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: in a car than I do on a boat, even
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: like reading or whatever like that. It's just because it's
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: a different it's a different way that your body is moving.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I will say, though, on every cruise I have ever been,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: which is all of three in the Caribbean coming back
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: to the States has always resulted in choppy water, in
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: turbulence and back and forth, and that always gets me
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: at least one night.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: I usually end up taking a drama mean.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: A drama mean before I go to bed, and then
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: hoping it lasts me through the next day.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: I've only had choppy seas maybe once or twice, and
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: every other time it's been pretty calm, which is a
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: miracle because on one of those times, the cruise I
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: was on had to be extended by a couple of
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: days because there was a hurricane moving into Florida, so
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: we could not go back, and luckily I had Luckily
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: those extra days fell on a weekend, so it's not
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: like I suddenly was going to start missing work or something,
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: which would have been hard to explain. But it did
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: mean that every body had to figure out, you know,
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: their how were they going to get home? Like most
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: people weren't living in Florida, so their flights and everything
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: would have to be changed. Luckily, Becca works for an airline,
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: so that made it a lot easier for us. But
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: I can't imagine how many people were scrambling. We just
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: enjoyed having two extra days on a cruise ship. It
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: suddenly made it suddenly made our cruise ship go from
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: being expensive to still expensive, but way more worth it
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: because we got two full days on top of it.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I do have some friends who had like
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: a bad enough experience on a cruise ship that it
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: made the news and I'm not going to share that.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: But also one of our mutual friends, Kate, who likes
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: to do marathons, had to endure the Drake Passage to
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: get to Antarctica and get back out of Antarctica, and
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: that way out had like twenty five and a half foot.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: No, no, thank you. Becca Becka tells stories about how
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: she was on a Transatlantic cruise once with her mom
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: and it was so bad in the middle of it
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: that you weren't allowed to go outside because it was
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: too dangerous, and that if you were on a lower
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: deck you could actually on some of the swells, you
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: could see the water come up past your porthole. Yeah.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Not for me.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Start seeing like all mermaids and stuff.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, seeing mermaids is fine, Seeing sharks is even fine.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: I Like, I just watched the Poseidon adventure at too
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: young an age to be able to handle that.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Now, Yeah, I get it, Like, yeah, well, you have
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: no control over the situation, and you know, you want
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: to have the confidence in the crew that they're going
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: to do everything to keep you safe. But when you're
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: not in control for a lot of people, that is
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: just like an anxiety spiral situation. For me, I'm just like,
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: oh man, I'm so glad I'm not responsible for this.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I'm sure if you were captaining a fictional
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: pirate ship.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: That the seas would yeah, one would, hope, maybe even
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: the wind that we just don't go anywhere, and it's
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: just like, yeah, we're just gonna sit on deck, drink
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Margarita's and sing shanties.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Amazing.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, then let us talk about the stuff
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: we've watched since last week. I'll go first. Nothing, I'm
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: gonna I'm gonna see hokum this evening. But which is that?
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: That's the one that Adam Scott is in the the
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: horror movie that has the rabbit faced person or maybe
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: they're wearing a yeah, maybe they're wearing a mask. Maybe
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: it's a pookah, who knows. I'll know after today. Hopefully.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Uh so that's the only thing I have. What about you?
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: I look forward to hearing your review of it. I
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: also have not watched much this week because it's just
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: been busy, busy week. I think I know I much
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: the most recent task Master, which is very good drop
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: out TV because it's easy. Uh. I think I think
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: that just might be it. This week is a blur.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I hear you.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: I'm seeing six.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's great. That's right. You're you're seeing six. I'm
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: seeing Hocum. So we'll both have stuff to report on.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: I really hope that it's an amazing show. You have
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: a lot of fun. Like, I know you've seen six before, right.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: I saw? Yeah. I so the last time it came
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: through Atlanta with my sister and my niece and Jen,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: And this year I've gotten a couple more people really
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: into the music, so they're tagging along. But we had
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: such a great time last year that immediately we're like,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: next time it comes, we're going back. And so my
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: niece is bounding and I'm gonna bound with.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Her, and awesome. Well, I if I went like the one,
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: what's the song you look forward to the most?
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: If I might ask it is. Before my first time going,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: I would have said don't lose your head or sorry
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: not sorry, which is the ambulance song, but it's actually
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: the Catherine of Aragne. Some one of my friends keep
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: saying Catherine of Aragorn, which led me down a whole
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: rabbit hole of trying to make a Lord of the Rings.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: The choice of Henry the Eight's mash up.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: But yeah, there's not enough women in Tolkien's world, so
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: you can't have enough wives for Henry.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: I mean it would be Catherine of Aragorn.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: Uh glad real uh aowen.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: We weren't we weren't we weren't gender casting it, so
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: it wouldn't matter. It would be Catherine of Aragon and
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: then Aragorn, and like it doesn't matter how it mashes up. Yeah,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: I don't remember. I don't remember the rest of them.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: We came up with like a mashup for most of
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: the one, but yeah, Captain of Aragon, because uh, the
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: lyrics in that song are just really great. There's a
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: moment where she says, you think it's a pity kids,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: quoting Leviticus, I'll end up kitty liss all my life,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: And I like that is just such a perfect little
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: rhyming scheme.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that a little like triplet kind of thing. I
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: I uh, for me, it would be House of Holbeind.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: That is a really good song.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: It's just it's so dumb but high energy.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I do. I do love that one. I was
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: honestly surprised how fun the show was because I was like,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: it's just gonna be a concert. All it is is songs,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: but there's there's enough through line and fun and back
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: and forth and playing that makes it just really enjoyable.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: That's great. I look forward to hearing your report when
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: you when we reconvene, and then and then I don't
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: if I don't corner you on Sunday to ask say.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Because then we're both going to go to Renfair, where
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: there is Irish folklore, and I think King Henry.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's Henry this year it's Henry and Catherine. I think. Okay,
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: the first one, not Katherine Howard. Now the first Catherine
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: some had three Catherines, two ANNs.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: And on one medicine woman.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: He already had a full house. Yes, well, there we go.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: So that's that's what we've watched. I guess now we
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: can move on to thirty seconds or less, and before
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: we really get into it, I am going to say
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: there at least a couple of mine where I know
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go over thirty because I could not.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: I was like, man if I edited this down anymore,
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: it's not going to make sense.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Well, let me tell you there's a couple that I'm
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: going to be under thirty because I don't know much
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: about them.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: So fair enough.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: So, speaking of the under thirty ones, I'm not sure
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: how to stretch this one out, but Scrubs has been
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: renewed for a second season on ABC. It's one of
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: the three popular comedy series that ABC has right now.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Shifty Gears has also been renewed and we're waiting to
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: hear on r J. Decker.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: So, speaking of ABC, Rachel Bloom, who co created the
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: musical series My Crazy Ex Girlfriend, has had a setback.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: She and her husband pitched a series titled Do You
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Want Kids that ABC has decided not to pick it up.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: The series would have seen a couple that in one
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: universe has kids and in another universe they don't have kids,
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: and how the lives of these two different groups are
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: different Because of that, it sounds like it's a fun premise,
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: So it's kind of a bummer that ABC didn't pick
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: it up. They said, Nope, We've got the comedies we need.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to add more.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that is said from one Bloom to another. The
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: sequel or the spinoff from Big Bang Theory, Stuart Fails
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: to Stay the Universe. The BOK characterschool name is Stuart
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: David Bloom Huh has gotten her release date on HBO.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: It's coming out this July. It's about the character messing
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: with a time travel machine that Sheldon made and messing
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: up history and then trying to fix it. Big Bang
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Theory is one of those shows where I loved the cast.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: They're all super talented and wonderful and I love them,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: and the storyline fell a little flat for me. But
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: I'm actually pretty interested in the spin off. The screenshot
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: they show for it makes it look a little bit grittier,
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: which I'm intrigued to see what they do with.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not set up like the sitcom style right
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: like it looks Yeah, very weird. What a high concept anyway. Well,
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: not all the drama in White Lotus happens on screen.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: We learned this week The hell in the Bottom Carter,
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: who was set to play a character in season four
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: of the show, has exited the show once it became
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: clear that she and the character she was played we're
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: just not gonna work. And then stepped Laura Dern, who
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: is playing an all new role in the show rather
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: than taking over Helen the bottom Carter's previous part. Which
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: is a really wild thing, like one odd structure that
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: show must have where you can you can pivot and
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: introduce an entirely new character with a different actor, Like
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: it requires so much rewriting and I just can't imagine
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: what that's like as an actor to to run with that.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, it is one of those shows where they
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: have like a bunch of like it's almost like an
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: anthology within one show because everybody has her own storyline
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: going on and they only kind of touch here and there.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: But still that's still difficult. Yeah. I wonder if show
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: friend of the show Shay will like it better with
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: all the rewrites.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: I'm very curious too.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: If she even watches it anymore. Okay, so I don't
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: have a good segue. Guild is coming back or they're
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: hoping to that. Lucia Day wants to make a Guild movie.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: They're going to kick start it to see if they
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: can get it on.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: It's you, So you want to tell people what the
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: Guild is.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I never actually watched it. The Guild is.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: I think it was a web series. It was about
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: friends playing D and D and then they kind of
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: step into the roles of their characters. And my understanding
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: is that it's kind of subverted people's expectations of geeks
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: and stereotypes and things like that.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was more. It was more that they were
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: playing essentially World of Warcraft, so they were playing online.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: They knew each other's voices, and they played online, but
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: they had not actually met irl until the series get started.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of creative, talented people were involved in it.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: It was just a matter of like, I don't know,
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: I was too busy or had other stuff on my
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: radar at the time. That No, no hate to the Guild,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: and I hope they're very successful. If you want to
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: learn about it, you can go to launch Oracle dot
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: com slash r slash Z one J L A A
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: W E.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, easy enough. It'll also be in the show notes,
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: I'm sure, but uh, but yeah, I'll also say like
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: Felicia Day herself in an interview I saw said I
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: rewatched some of those. There are jokes I made then
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: that I would not make now.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like that's the case in everybody's life.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. Oh yeah, No. I think about I think about
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: the jokes I made at the festival years ago, and
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: I'm like, man, well, I know I wouldn't do it now,
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: so that's the important part. But I wish I hadn't
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: done it then either. Uh. Okay, So Ariel, I'm gonna
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: need you to I'm gonna need you to take your
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: headphones off for this one because you don't want to
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: hear it, and then I will wave to you when
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: I'm done. Okay, Ready here we go. All right. So
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: Production Studios, Roadside Attractions and Saban Films have picked up
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: the domestic US rights to Spanish filmmaker on Yell Gomez
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: Hernandez's horror Sure Crawlers. It's a visceral horror film in
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: which the titular crawlers are venomous spiders that invest in
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: apartment building, which sounds horrifying, and it comes out on
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: October second.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Interesting.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: Now, I didn't listen at all.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Like I could vaguely hear you, but not I could hear.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like amr Yes.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: So Marvel just did a bunch of layoffs and among
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: the people that got laid off were Andy Park. You
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: had worked with them, I think for like sixteen years
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: or something in visual development, just worked really hard on
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: all of the Marble stuff, and it was integral to
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: a lot of what we got, especially in early Marvel.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: You know, even Evangeline Lily kind of spoke up against it,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: thinking that it's horrible. She thinks Disney is going to
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: replace him with Ai. I hope that's not the case
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: if he was mainly involved. I don't know a lot
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: about him, but if he was mainly involved in Marvel.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: We know that Disney is trying to take a new
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Marvel approach, so it might just be getting fresh blood in.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: But it is unfortunate.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's that fear of people working on a tool
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: that ultimately might replace them, right, Like it's a It's
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: kind of the other thing you would say is like,
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: it's like if you were if you were told that
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: your position at a job was going to be ending
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: in like three months, but in the meantime, could you
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: train your replacement. It's like, it's that kind of crappy thing. Well,
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: I saw the original Blair Witch Project at the perfect time,
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: which was before the hype had really overshadowed the original film.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: I found it unsettling, to say the least. And now
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: there's a reboot in the works from Lionsgate and Blumhouse
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: Atomic Monster. And one cool little bit of information is
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: that Joshua Leonard and Michael C. Williams, who both were
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: in the original Blair Winch Project, are serving as executive
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: producers of the new one, as well as the original
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: directors of that movie, which I think is pretty neat.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: That is pretty neat. Again, no good segue. So Andy
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: serkis let slip an actor who will be in Avengers Doomsday.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: He wasn't supposed to. Shame on him. I don't think
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: he's in it.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: If he is, his character was killed.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's comic book. That doesn't stop anything.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: That's fair.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: But but he was speaking with another actress and I
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: will post I will post the article in our show
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: notes if you want to see. I'm not going to
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: say it here just because some people may not want
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: to know and may have missed this. And when he said,
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: I'm excited to see you in Doomsday. She said, you're
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: not supposed to say that, and of course the internet
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: ran with it.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was marveling at it. My director, Louis Letterier
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: made a film that was originally titled eleven eight seventeen
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: and then subsequently retitled to the Last House, which follows
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: a family of four who become trapped by a mysterious
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: horse and it prevents them from leaving their home, so
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: they have to figure out a way to escape while
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: also like rationing out their limited resources. And now we
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: know that this movie is going to hit Netflix on
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: August seventh, so I can't wait to talk about that
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: in my horror Hutch when we get a trailer for sure.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Apparently there is I think a movie being made of
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: the game Battlefield, also something I haven't played, and everybody
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: wants to do it, or at least they're hoping everybody
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: wants to do it. So it's being helmed by Christopher
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Corey of Mission Impossible and Michael B. Jordan, and they
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: are putting it in front of studios hoping that there
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: will be a big bidding war.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Is crazy, I mean, Battlefield's it's just a war movie.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: It's just a war game.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so the movie would have to just be a
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: war movie, right, Like there's no it's kind of like
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: it's kind of like this, like it's like when they'd
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: made a movie out of Battleship. But I'm like, what's
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: your story?
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: I mean it could be they could they could be
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: creative with it, right, because Michael B. Jordan is nothing
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: but creative. Where maybe it's so there's an old whitest kids,
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: you know sketch that I know you're not a fan
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: of them, where it's what you're watching some Call of
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: Duty characters. Yeah, and then one of them's one of
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: their mothers, interrupts them and so they call it duty
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: characters starts to being like Mom, stop it, Mom, Yeah,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: a peanut butter sandwich.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: Right. Well, maybe maybe since it's Michael B. Jordan, it'll
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: end up being battlefield and it'll be vampires versus jazz musicians.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: I mean I would watch that. But also it could
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: just be a thing where like jamungi ish Right.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: So, because yeah, you make some good points, I should
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: not be so skeptical. I don't know anything about it
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: and the people involved are very creative.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: Do I have do I have a huge desire to
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: watch this movie based on what I know about it
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: right now? No, I've seen enough World War two stuff.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, it's kind of like same with Vietnam stuff, right,
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: all right? Well, A movie titled Angels in the Asylum
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: starring Simon Pegg among other people, was supposed to be
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: a pretty straightforward shoot. It was based on true events
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: in which women who are suspected of carrying typhoid were
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: incarcerated in a former mental hospital in the early nineteen hundreds.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: Production began in January twenty twenty five, but by February
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: the promised money from their producers dried up. Now there
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: are numerous accusations about what exactly happened, and it sounds
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: to me like the drama behind the scenes dwarfed the
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: story they were trying to tell. So it wouldn't surprise
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: me if down the line we get a documentary about this.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, very interesting. My last story, but not the last
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: story in thirty seconds, is that Patrick Clanton will be
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: temporarily stepping in as a role of Harold Ziggler and
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: Mulan Rouge the musical on Broadway after Megan v. Stallion,
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: who has been playing Harold Ziggler up to this point,
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: recently leaves. He will be on Broadway May second through
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Sunday May seventeenth. He originated some rooms.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: He was no.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: He made his Broadway debut in Yulan Rouge.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: Or Mouland Rouge, and that's just a very red Mulan. Yeah.
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: So Meghan d. Stallion's final performance is the same night
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: as the day we're recording this. It was supposed to.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: She was supposed to stay in the role for an
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: extra couple of weeks, but she's had both some physical
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: like medical challenges as well as a pretty public breakups.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: Oh it's it's it's not pretty, and I'm not one
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: to spill tea or anything, but like, I just want
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: her to focus on herself and get back to being
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: absolutely phenomenal. Like, yeah, I genuine I genuinely loved her
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: in The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dink and she
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: made me laugh so much.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: Oh is that her?
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she's supposed to three episodes. I haven't gotten that far.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: I've only watched the first two or three episodes so far.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she's she's a postal worker in one of the episodes,
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: and that's all I will say about that because the
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: joy of discovery is something I will not rob you of.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: It is a lot of fun, all right. Well, my
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: last one is Trading Places, the nineteen eighties comedy that
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: saw a privileged stock trader played by Dan Aykroyd forced
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: to swap a place is with a swindler played by
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: Eddie Murphy, is headed to the stage as a musical.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: Because of course it is Bryce Pinkham, who is currently
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: in Chess as the Arbiter, will play Akroyd's role, and
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: Ephraim Sykes, who is in the Fear of Thirteen, will
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: play Murphy's part, And right now it's in workshops. The
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: guest list is invitation only. Mine must have been lost
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: in the mail, And technically the show actually already premiered
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: right here in Atlanta at the Alliance Theater back in
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty two, but my invitation was lost then too.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: That happens a lot. The Alliance Theory gets a lot
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: of shows that eventually make it to Broadway, like Water
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: for Elephants.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: Aida was one.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Aida.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there have been a few that premiered. So Atlanta
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: and Chicago are the two places that I know of
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: that have premiered plays that I have personally, like, I
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: don't think I've seen one here in Atlanta that went
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: onto Broadway, but I've seen one in Chicago that went
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: on to Broadway, little play called Spam a Lot. I
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: saw that one there.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I almost saw Death Becomes Her in Chicago, and
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: I ended up because I've only been to Chicago once.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: I went up last year the year before for a wedding,
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: and it was wonderful. I loved it. It's like New
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: York but spaced out like Atlanta and friendlier. But I
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: ended up seeing Judgment Day with George Costanza in it
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: Jason Alexander instead, because I've never watched the movie Death
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: Becomes Her, But I feel like Chicago is more known
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: for that. Atlanta kind of sneaks it in, Like Atlanta
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: has a theater scene, but it's it's low key.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, we have the Alliance Theater is like our
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: big professional theater in the city. We used to have
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: another pretty prestigious theater for many years, like when we
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: first started the again, going back to the Renizance Festival.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: When you and I first started there, there was the
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: Georgia Shakespeare Festival, which is independent like completely separate from
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: the Georgia Shakespeare Tavern, two totally different companies, and the
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: Shakespeare Festival was like like they were taking the really
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: big swings, particularly with Shakespeare and works. But that that
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: theater closed down decades ago. Now, so Alliance is like
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: our big local professional theater. And then we've got lots
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: of regional theaters in the city as well.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: We have had a because theater took a real hit
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: in Atlanta for a while, like same with improv. We
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: used to have a ton of improv places, a ton
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: of theaters, and it got real small for a while,
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: even in community theater, and it's been building back and
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: it's been wonderful seat to see. We do have several
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: semi professional professional theaters, they're just smaller still like City Springs. Yeah,
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: hey's some pretty good equity.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: It gets people from New York and I hear you,
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: I just don't think of anything OTP as being real theater. OTP,
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: by the way, means outside the perimeter. I'm narrow casting.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: I TP is inside the perimeter, and the perimeter is
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: a big highway that goes around Atlanta. And as you
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: might be able to tell from my snobbish attitude. I
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: am I t P and Aurial is OTP.
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: It is so asinine because like if just inside the
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: I t P is about the same as where I
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: live OTP.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I just live in the city of Atlanta.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: Like my my address is an Atlanta address, and I
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: do have I do have a four O four number, so.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: You know what I do too. Yeah, I've lived in
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: Roswell my whole life, well not my whole life, but
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: I got my number in Roswell.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: This is just razing each other for no good reason.
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, then now that now that we're done,
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: or now that I'm done being a petulant manchild, let
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: us move on to our next section, which we're calling
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: this week. Stuff we're gonna talk come out because it's
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: out there, and what else are we gonna do?
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was kind of a slower Okay, so a
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: bunch of it looks like some more stuff came out
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: yesterday that I didn't get to look at because this
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: week has been insane, And I say it's a slower week,
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: but it just seems that way. I haven't had much
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: time to Jonathan is a superhero and very kind of,
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: very patient and has been putting stuff together. Well, I
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: get my day commitments in order. But yeah, not a
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: whole whole lot this week. But we did get a
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: trailer for season four of ted Lasso.
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the first of our soccer stories.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You know, I don't really like soccer or I
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: guess football, but I really like television shows about underdog
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: football teams.
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, soccer teams. So you know, we we thought that
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: season three was going to be the true finale, like
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: the series finale, but nope, Ted Lasso is back. He's
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: back in the UK. Now he is going to coach
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: a women's football club, and of course he faces all
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: new you know, derision for coaching a women's club. Also,
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: I noticed, like I delighted in this trailer because I
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: saw an actress and comedian that I really love.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, Tracy Allman, yeah.
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: Looking yeah and looking a little ferreal.
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: I mean the last honestly, the last thing I saw
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: Tracy Ullman in was Once Upon a Mattress when Disney
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: did the televised version of that, and she loved a
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: little Ferrell there too, So it's my preferred Tracy Allman appearance.
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I love Tracy Ullman. I love I've loved Tracy
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: Ullman since she did a cover of the song they
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: Don't Know About Us, which was in the early eighties.
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: But yeah, this series series comes out obviously Apple TV,
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: so Apple TV Plus if you have that, and it
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: comes out on August fifth. I thought, like, the trailer's short,
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: so it doesn't give you a whole lot, but you
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: get to see a lot of returning characters and kind
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: of like get get a sense of where their lives
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: are at based upon the little moments you see. But yeah,
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: it looks like it's going to be like the way
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: we think of ted Lasso as being, you know, on
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: the on the whole, a wholesome and uplifting series.
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, did you did you watch the previous seasons.
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: I've only seen like extended clips. I have never sat
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: down to watch an episode from beginning to end, Like, uh,
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: part of it is just that because I've seen so
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: many clips, I feel like, well, if I watch an episode,
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: I'm going to start getting distracted when it hits something
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: that I've you know, I've seen, right, Yeah, does that
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: mean like I'm going to drift off and then I
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: have to remind myself to come back to the show.
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: So I have not, but you you watched it, didn't you.
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: I did watch it. It took me a while because
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: again I'm not a big soccer fan. And while I
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: find gosh, what is the name of the lead actor.
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: In it, Sadakas?
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Jason Sidakis. I've watched his ted Lasso skits and
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: they're kind of funny because it started off as a
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: skit between him and coach guy. He plays coach in
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: the show. But it is it has so much heart.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: It is such a feel good even when it deals
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: with heavy subjects or heartbreaking moments or touching moments, like
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: it's one of those shows that just makes you feel
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: good watching it, And so I binged the goodness out
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: of it.
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: Well, then I look forward to hearing what your thoughts
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: are when it comes back, because I assume you're gonna
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: check it out, whether whether or not you check it
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: out right when it o are, like shortly after whatever.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I will say I also loved Wrexham for
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: a similar reason. It's the documentary they make about it
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: is Welcome to Wrexham. It's very cool. It's it's the
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: soccer league that Ryan Reynolds.
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: And Rob mcalinny.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: Well that's not his name anymore.
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's right, he changed it. Yeah, I can't remember
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: what he changed it to. I just I think of
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: mcalenny because that what they did the whole song about
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: it and everything. Yeah, yeah, I forgot because it was
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: like two summers ago or something where he changed it,
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: and but I just think of it as Rob macalon.
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: He's now professionally known as Rob mack, which close enough.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: It's about the league that they bought that had so
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: much heart but just wasn't doing well, and kind of
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: how it has succeeded, and the hardships of running a
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: soccer league and the hard decisions you have to meet
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: and what the players go through and the care and
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: how much it means to the team and the history
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: of the city and it's all very very cool and
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: I loved it and I accidentally stopped watching that one,
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: but it's also very good and we're getting the season
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: five of it. I think they've hit Premier League now
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: and that is awesome.
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: Well, that's what they're aiming to do, is hit Premier League.
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: So they're in. They're in the English Football League Championship.
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: I think they're ranked six out of all the teams
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: that are in that particular championship, and that's still ongoing
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: as we record this, but the season debuts on May
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: fourteenth on FX and Hulu and the final episode of
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: that season. There's gonna be eight episodes total. The final
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: one will come out on June twenty fifth, and so
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: it follows the current Wrexham season. And yeah, so if
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: you're not familiar with the way UK soccer works, I
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: don't blame you because I wasn't. But it's a tiered
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: system for their leagues. So you've got Premier League's the
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: that's like the where you want to be, but they
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: have several leagues below that, and you can be promoted
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: up or demoted down leagues depending upon your team's performance.
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: And they've gone from very low to going up to
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: you know, moving promoting up a league a couple of
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: times now where they are actually in contention to joining
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: the Premier League, which is a big deal.
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, In the trailer it says something I think
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: they said, like one of the only teams to be
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: promoted three times in a row. You can also stay
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: where you're at.
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: But yeah, demos to be promoted or demoted.
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, demotion is hard because it comes with usually a
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: pretty big pay cut and it's really hard to get
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: back from that, so you get demoted far enough.
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's a it's a different system like here
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: in the US, like you know, I mean you have
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: farm teams for our various sports leagues where it's like
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: you're playing in the minor leagues as opposed to the
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: major league. So we do have something similar to that,
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: but it's uh, I think it's far more structured over
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: in the UK. But yeah, that comes. Like I said,
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: May fourteenth is when the first episode drops.
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. I'll have to catch
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: up because I really again really enjoyed that show. It's
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: another one that's that's all together uplifting even when you're
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: dealing with hard moments, And that's just the kind of
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: media that I super super lean towards lately.
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: I really like. I really like how the documentary spends
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: time focusing not just on the team and the owners obviously,
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: like it could just focus on Ryan and Rob because
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: they're famous, right, Like, yeah, it could just focus on them,
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: but it also focuses on the community of Wrexham and
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: how it's affected the town and the surrounding area, and
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: I think that is a really powerful story and I'm
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: glad that that's included in the documentary because, like you
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: see how people are have renewed pride in their community,
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: not just the team, but where they live, and that's
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: kind of cool.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, there's a a lovely young person who works
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: at the British Shop, the British theme shop in Delanaga
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: Old Town Square, who they also have a British tea
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: room up in Delanaga, and she was talking to me.
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: My family visited recently and we went up there for
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: a day. She was talking to me about how she
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: went to Wrexham and got to see the pub that
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: was just like and how there was so much Deadpool
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: stuff just everywhere and it was delightful. Yeah. But even
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: in Wrexham they've been building up their women's league as well,
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: because those players are badass and yeah, work so hard
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: and are so talented, but don't but only get half
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: of like the acclaim.
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: So yeah, so that's that's a nice tie. And like
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: ted Lasso and Wrexham really feel like spiritual siblings in
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: many ways. Well, next up, we have a film that
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: I feel could join the ones that we talked about
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: in the Seven Sons of the Seven Samurai.
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: For sure, and you know, again uplifting because it's a
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: out friends coming together to help out somebody in trouble.
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: Now, I mean yeah, shooting and shooting Tim Roth.
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: It's called Seven Snipers, so it's a It's based on
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: a woman who.
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: Margarita Time.
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: Margarita Time, a woman who used to be a sniper
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: and her daughter and uh, I guess a warlord played
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: by Tim Roth eventually finds her and wants to seek
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: revenge and all of like her team comes to help
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: protect her.
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah that's I mean, you you nailed it. That's like
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: the basic idea. It's an Australian film or Australian film
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: if you prefer. It's I think it's already had its
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: premiere in Australia, but it comes to yeah, Australia, but
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: it comes to digital platforms this June. I mean I
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: almost didn't include it because like it felt like, okay,
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: this is kind of a like it's it doesn't look
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: like it's a bad action movie, but there wasn't anything
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: that made it stand out. And then I saw Tim Roth,
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, It's got one of my favorite actors
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: in it, so I'll include it.
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: I just wonder if he's going to be super serious
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: or super hammy, because he does chew the scenery a bit.
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: I love it he can. I think Gary Oldman choose
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: it more than Tim Roth does. But well, except for
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: like a couple of cases.
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: Except for like Rosen Krantz and Gildensterner Dead, I feel
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: like Tim too, But he also had the more liquacious character.
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: In that Gary Gary Oldman was the more doofy character
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: between the two. But now I think of like I
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: think of Gary Oleman and like Leon the professional, no
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: one choose scenery like him, except maybe Willem Dafoe.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: Was it The Four Rooms or something like that?
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: It was, yeah, yeah, it was a Tarantino thing that
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: was a four was.
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: In it, and he tim Roth supe the scenery in that.
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: I liked him in a Hateful Eight, which is saying
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: something because that's a hard watch. But I really like
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: Tim Roth in that watch.
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I love Tim Roth, I love Gary Oldman.
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: But yeah, it'll be I don't know if I'll watch it,
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: but if I do, i'll be interested to see.
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: I would be watching it for Tim Roth, honestly, if
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: I'm being brutally honest, because like otherwise, this does look
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: like a very stripped down, you know, seven Samurai kind
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: of thing, except now everyone's just carrying sniper rifles, so
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: which not as interesting to me. But I do kind
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: of want to see Tim Roth. Like if someone did
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: a super cut of just all of Tim Roth's scenes
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: for that movie, I would probably watch that instead.
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: You know, I bet you could find that eventually.
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: I'm sure. Next up, we have a TV series, a
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: dark comedy action thriller TV series called Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed.
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it starts Tatiata Maslani, and I have forgotten already
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: what it's about. I only watched it like thirty minutes ago.
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, sure I can take this. So she you might
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: remember her as a she Hulk if you watch the
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: She Hulk series. She's very funny. But it's weird because
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: this trailer like kind of kind of emphasizes a little
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: bit of comedy, but there's also a lot of like
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: traumatic action you see. So Tatiana plays she's a single mother.
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: Her daughter is like I don't know, maybe in a
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: tween or maybe a teenager. And she is an adult
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: cam performer, and she is on camera with one of
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: her clients on the other end, right like a zoom
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: call kind of thing, but it's you know, adult camming.
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: Her client is on the other end, when suddenly someone
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: bursts into her client's room and seems to abduct him,
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: and then she's not sure if what she witnessed is
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: real or if it's a scam slash prank. Then she
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: is starting to be harassed by someone who seems to
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: know a lot about her and her personal situation, including
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: the fact that she's a mother. So like, the beginning
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: of this trailer makes it feel like this is like
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: a kind of like a psychological thriller, but then there's
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: a bit where she's chatting with her two friends, and
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: then it feels a little more like dark comedy ish.
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: So it's hard to get a finger on the pulse
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: of the tone of this particular thing. It's coming to
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: Apple TV on May twentieth, or ten episodes total. It's
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: not really my deal, Like, it's not really the kind
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: of thing I typically seek out. I do think Tatiana
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: is a very funny and talented actor, so maybe I'll
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: try and watch it. But it also feels like the
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: kind of thing that if I'm watching in Becca walks in,
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: I feel like I'd have a lot of explaining to do.
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: Very possibly, very possibly. Yeah, I think I do like
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: her as an actor. I still need to go back
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: and watch Black Orphan or Orphan Black or whatever it
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: was called she was in.
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: Oh was she? And that?
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: I always heard that that was the lead and the
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: lead and the lead and the lead in the lead.
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: I heard that was really good. That and Russian Doll.
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: Those are like two series that everyone kept telling me
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: I needed to watch and I still haven't done it.
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: I think you would like Russian Doll. I can't say
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: anything about it Orphan.
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: Black because you didn't watch it.
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen it. Yeah. And also she's you know
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: we talked about last week. She's in Atlanta now or
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: was recently or will be very soon filming a movie.
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: Oh good, Like I was just thinking I've got more
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: room on my roster.
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: The Josh Tuban movie we talked about last week, right,
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: the Green Zone or whatever it's called.
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, good, you know, fake girlfriend spot potentially open.
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: So and then we have one more thing and the
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: things that we're going to talk about because they're out there.
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: And if it's the purge. But but instead of you
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: get to kill people one night, it's you get to
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: be busy. If you're single, you.
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: Get to hook up. When I read what you wrote,
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: I was like, this sounds like it is everything I
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: do not want. But the trailer seems to focus around
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: the hero of the story, the protagonist of the story,
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: I guess, like trying to be smart in who she
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: hooks up with and really find a connection and stuff
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: like that, and I kind of love that.
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: It's it's a romantic comedy with a bizarre, high concept premise.
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: The premise is it's it's in New York, but for
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: some reason, in New York, it is illegal for unmarried
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: people to hook up. Like there's some descriptions I've read
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: where it's even said have romance, and I'm like, okay, wait,
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: then how do you go from being single to being
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: not single? But apparently there's one night a year where
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: people who are not married are legally allowed to boink
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: their brains out, and apparently that's what a lot of
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: people end up doing. But the two main characters here
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: both are actually seeking out real connection or at least
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: appear to be based upon the trailer, and it's a
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: lot of things like missed connections, that kind of stuff,
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: And it looks like the actual romance part looks kind
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: of cute. It does look a little weird, but what
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: a strange concept it really is.
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: It looks well done. Like I again, I didn't think.
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: I thought I was gonna watch this and be like, yep, yep,
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: this is why it's stuff we don't talk about, but
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: it actually looks pretty cute. I might watch this.
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: It's it was almost weird enough to be to bump
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: it into the next section, almost not the next one,
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: but the one.
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: After the I mean it is pretty horrific.
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: Yes, just yeah, you don't even need the premise there.
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: It's just scary. It comes out August. So yeah, I
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: was like when I started watching, I just thought it
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: was just a regular romantic comedy kind of thing. And
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: then as it went on, I'm like, wait a minute,
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: they're saying stuff that is very strange about like, oh,
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: it's the one time they're allowed Like what do you
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: mean by that?
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, but I do like that.
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: I do like it's the romantic comedy version of the Purge.
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, me too.
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: Well, we don't need to worry about spiders because there's
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: plenty of that in this episode already, So I'm not
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: even gonna bother you. I'm sorry. I did not like
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: I had you take the headphones off for one of
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: the stories.
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, the other one I would have seen anyhow,
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: so it's fine.
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but boy, that one took me by surprise. But
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: we'll get there. So no spiders in the r Utch
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: as far as I know. I mean, there probably are
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: in Resident Evil. But we're gonna start off with talking
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: about a psycho sexual thriller called Verity. And the only
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: reason I'm really including this is one there's just actually,
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: for once, weren't that many trailers for horror movies this week,
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: you know? But for another. This is based off a
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: novel that came out in twenty eighteen, and I am
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: familiar with the novel, and it's one of those books
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: where you're like, this is this is bonkers, This is
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: nuts because there's so many characters who have been deeply
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: affected by tragic accidents in their lives that you're feeling
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: like everyone in this book universe is like a day
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: away from losing someone important. To them in a terrible
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: tragic accident, and there's like a fifty to fifty shot
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: that there's something suspicious about the accident and maybe it
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: wasn't accidental at all. But the high level premise here
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: is that you have the main character, Lowen Ashley. She
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: is a struggling writer and she is hired by a
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: guy named Jeremy Crawford to to finish his wife's unfinished manuscript.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: His wife was in an accident and is now comatose,
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: so he invites her. Jeremy invites Loewen. Oh, and his
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: wife's name is Verity. That's why the film is called Verity,
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: and why the book is called Verity. Verity Crawford is
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: the comatose wife, so he invites Loewen to come into
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: his home in order to access verityes like notes and
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: outlines and all that kind of stuff and the unfinished
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: manuscript in order to complete it. The two of them
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: end up getting into hot and heavy relationships stuff. You know,
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: if they were in New York, it would not be allowed.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: But actually, to be fair, he's still married. She's it's
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: just his wife's comatose anyway. So yeah, they end up
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: having an affair. Then there's like Lowen starts to suspect
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: that Verity maybe is just faking being comatose. Then there's
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: all this question about like they had Verity and Jeremy
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: had three kids, twin girls who are older siblings, and
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: then a younger son. But both of the twin girls
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: have passed away in accidents, and so then there's like
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: suspicion that did Verity do that before she had her
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: own accident and went coma TOAs did Jeremy actually do it.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: The end of this book is truly off the rails
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: and like to a point where I'm like, I don't
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: this has lost me entirely. But I'm curious if the
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: movie will follow suit. The trailer will be very confusing
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: if you watch it, because Anne Hathaway plays Verity, and
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: you're like, well, that's a character's in a coma and
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: Anne Hathaway's in this trailer a lot, so I'm guessing
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: that there's stuff where it's representing flashbacks or visions that
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: kind of stuff. Dakota Johnson plays Loewen. It comes out
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: October second. This is not my bag. I will not
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: be this, but yeah, the book is a is truly
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: bonkers if you ever want to check it out of
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: the library and just have a crazy read. And the
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: other one in the horror hutch is Resident Evil. This
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: is Zach Kreiger's next movie. He's the guy who brought
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: us Barbarian and Weapons, and he's doing an adaptation of
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: the video game series Resident Evil. He is not adapting
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: a specific title in that series. Rather, he is taking
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: the series as the inspiration for this film. So there
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: are elements of it that I feel like, oh, this
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: looks like this came straight from Resident Evil seven Biohazard,
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: like that looks like that, or oh, this sequence reminds
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: me of Resident Evil two or three. So you can
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: tell where he's inspired, like what he drew his inspiration from.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: But he's not involving as far as I can tell,
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: he's not involving any of the established characters from the
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: franchise in his film, which I personally think is a
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: good idea. There are fans of the games who are
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: very much in opposite opinion of mine.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: Well there, you know, it's just a trailer. There might
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: be stuff that they like.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: There might be like Leon might show up at some
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: point he strikes.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: So I've never played the Resident Evil Games. I never
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: watched the movies. I did watch the TV show and
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: that was interesting. But I will say watching this trailer
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: because I did watch this trailer because Zach I appreciate
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: what Zach Kreeger does. I never watch Barbarian and I
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: haven't seen Weapons yet, though you know, I did audition
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: for it. He's so good at setting a scene and
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: building suspense. It feels like, yeah, this trailer was. It
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: was intense, but not in the way I anticipated, and
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: I appreciated it for that.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's creepy and disturbing, but on like a mainstream
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: entertainment level like it. I don't think it goes so
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: far as it will use a mainstream horror audience, right, Like,
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: it's not that extreme, but it looks interesting to me.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I saw a lot of derision, a lot
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: of dismissal in the comments under the trailer that we
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: will be posting in our notes. But I don't think
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: that's really fair because I think I think it was
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: the right decision personally, Like anyone who's played video games
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: and then has watched video game adaptations, and it's very
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: rare that you get adaptation that actually follows the story
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: of the video game where it's a satisfying narrative. The
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: Last of Us is one of the few that I
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: can think of, right because even Fallout, it's a great series,
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: but it isn't following a specific Fallout game. It incorporates
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: elements of some of those games, but it doesn't follow
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: the storyline of any of them. And I think that
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: was for the best because we already have that story. Plus,
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: that's a story that was designed to be played through
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: for the to have that experience, and like story, movie
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: making is just fundamentally different. So I'm all for this,
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: But I get it, Like, if you're a super fan
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: of Resident Evil and you were really hoping to see
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: like Veronica, Code Veronica or like Leon or you know,
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: Chris or whatever any of the characters' names are showing up,
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: I get that you could be let down by this.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, that was a pretty non traumatic visit
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: to the Horror Hutch.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I didn't figure that we had enough trauma still
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: ahead of us. Uh So, yeah, we're now into the
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: show lineup, and like I said, there's only two That
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: time I talked a lot, so I apologize for that,
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: but there are only two but now we can go
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: on to talk about stupid stuff.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: Yes, and the first one's gonna be real stupid. But
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: I just want to say, uh, our listeners love listening
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: to you talk. And also if I didn't like listening
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: to you talk, I wouldn't be doing a podcasts with you.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: So quick.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I'm the one. I'm the one who looks
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 2: at the waveforms, and every time I do, I'm like,
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: oh my god, Jonathan, You've got to shut up.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: I mean it's hard because we're doing we're doing this,
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: you know, remotely, so it's harder to catch like, oh
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: the other person has something to add.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: Or yeah, and that happens Jonathan. Jonathan apparently doesn't need
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 2: to breathe. He just keeps talking.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: Look as a singer, that's an admirable quality. But let's yeah,
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: let's go back to our show notes because I know
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: that again, we do need to keep this. It's not
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: it hasn't been a shorter episode I thought it would be,
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: but we do need to keep it short.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: Ish much shorter than last week at least, well last week.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: Was like a three episode week.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: First, the first thing we've got to talk about, I'm
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: actually surprised you added it to our lineup because it's
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: an Asylum film.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: Well that's I put it on there because the trailer
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: came out today, even though okay, here's the other thing.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: This movie's already out. It's already out on digital platforms.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: It came out April twenty eighth, but we just got
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: the trailer. Weird, like three days ago it came out,
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: and we got the trailer today or maybe yesterday. But yeah,
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: the film is called Ice Pocalypse. It is an Asylum film.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 2: You've heard me talk about The Asylum before, if you've
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: listened to this the show for a while. The Asylum
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: is mostly known for making things like Mockbusters, or they
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: make intentionally crappy movies and hope that it goes viral.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: So the big one that everyone knows is Sharknado, that series,
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: but they also are known for making movies that are
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: mimicking bigger, more known ip so like when Transformers came out,
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: they had Transmorphers, when Pacific Rim came out, they had
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: Atlantic Rim, which isn't even a thing. But Ice Pocalypse.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: At first, I was thinking it was going to be
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: a cheap knockoff of the Day After Tomorrow, which is
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: wild because that movie came out more than twenty years ago,
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: like Way to Strike While the Iron is Cold. But
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: after watching the trailer, I'm like, okay, no, it's really
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: the day after Tomorrow and Armageddon had a baby.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean it could be that they're trying
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: to play off of vaguely Project hill Mary without trying
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: to give spoilers to people who haven't seen it or
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: haven't read the book. Yeah, because it deals with going
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: into space because of apocalyptic type event happening to Earth.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So the basic premise is that a new moon
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: has entered Earth's gravitational orbit. I don't know where it
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: came from or how it did that, but it has.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: And then the effect of that is it has plunged
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: the Earth into a new ice age, and so they
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: have to scientists have to come up with a plan
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: to dislodge this moon from orbit so that the Earth
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: can return to its normal climate. So that's where you
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: get the Armageddon thing, right, It's okay, well, we have
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: to either destroy or deflect this celestial body so it
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: doesn't impact Earth. Looks super dumb, Like I said, it's
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: already out on on things like Fandango at Home. Maybe
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: other platforms came out on April twenty eighth, but I
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: had to include it because I watched it, and now
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: I felt like other people at least at least know
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: that I watched it and feel sorry for me. Oh
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: one other thing that I thought was dumb is they
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: named the new moon Nemesis.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. I kind of like a
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: moon being named Nemesis.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: I guess at it's better than jerkface, which is what
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: I would have called it.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, I would also be for that, because the
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: moon does have a face, and it does sometimes like
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: a little jerky, not motion wise, but personality wise. Speaking
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: of jerks, we got a trailer for a House of
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: the Dragons Sees three. I actually haven't watched this. I
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: just Game of Thrones has a lot of people who
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: are jerks in it. Yeah.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 2: No, so yeah, I have you watched any of the
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 2: House of the Dragon at all?
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: I haven't. What I have done is I have watched
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: the first two episodes of Night of the Seven Kingdoms twice.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: I've watched the first two seasons and the last two
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: seasons of Game of Thrones, and that's it.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: So there's like a big chunk in the middle where like, wow,
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 2: there's you start those final two seasons and you're like, man,
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of characters I don't recognize, and a
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: lot of characters that I'm looking for that I don't see.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: I kept up with what was happening, but I just
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: didn't need to watch.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: It, gotcha. Yeah, So I had to look all this
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 2: up because I have not watched House of the Dragon either,
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: and I was just I couldn't even remember where it
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 2: falls within the chronology of George or are Martin's world.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: And so House of the Dragon takes place one hundred
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: years after House targari and has established itself as the
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: holder of the Iron Throne, the uniter of the Seven Kingdoms.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: So it's one hundred years after Targerians have established themselves,
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: but two hundred years before the events of Game of Thrones,
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 2: which means Nine of Seven Kingdoms happens one hundred years
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: after the events of House of the Dragon.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: Oh I thought it happened before.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: No. Nine of Seven Kingdoms is one hundred years about
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: one hundred years before the events of Game of Thrones.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: House of the Dragon is two hundred years before the
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: events of Game of Thrones. Anyway, they're dragons and there's
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: the dragons.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: They're fighting. They're fighting for power and for who wants
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: to be a leader, yeah, or who the gods are
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: going to declare as the leader, which is really just
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: I think who has the biggest, best.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: Army or biggest best dragon in this case.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it looks intense. It kind of looks like things
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: are coming to a head. So I don't know. I
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: don't know how many seasons they have planned.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know either. Yeah, I was gonna say
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 2: I don't I don't either. It does feel like things
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: are are ramping up. Like within Martin's work, there are
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 2: all these references to various civil wars like it. It
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 2: seems like like civil wars are pretty common within the
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 2: history of wester Ros. So this is one of those.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: And but yeah, my hope is that I don't know.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: Actually I don't care if they wrap it up or not.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: I'm not watching it either way. But this comes out
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: June twenty.
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: First, Okay, so if you're a fan, enjoy The next
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: trailer we've got is for something called Relive, which I
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: have misread every time I've looked at it. First, I
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: was like revile Relieve. No, it's a it's a British
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: sci fi Yep. It looks to be pretty independent yep,
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: but super super.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: Cool yeah, and pretty polished to like, it looks like
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 2: it's a polished production, which you don't always get with
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 2: independent British work. But this is the basic storyline is
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: it's set in a future, like it's it's definitely the
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 2: future because they've got like hologram phones and stuff, and
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: there's this time anomaly that kind of eliminates like one
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: hundred thousand people from existence, like they just pop out
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: of existence and yeah, and one of those people is
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: the son of the protagonists, so obviously she is deeply
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: affected by this. She is then recruited by this woman
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: who says they've identified that the problem is this this
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: guy that the protagonist knew when she was like twenty
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 2: years younger, created time travel and that apparently that cascaded
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: into this anomaly that made like one hundred thousand people
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: just disappear. So her job is to use the time
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 2: travel technology to go back to a time when she
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: twenty years ago was on a hiking trip with friends,
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: which included the guy who would ultimately invent time travel
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: and then to kill him grave dead, graveyard dead, as
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: Griffin McElroy would say.
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: But the problem is, even if you mess with time
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: in the past, it will still create anomalies in the future.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, I guess it depends on your rules of
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 2: time travel, like they're not consistent from time travel story
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 2: to time travel story. Yeah, I don't really Like for me,
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: I was sitting there thinking why does it need to
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: be her, Like, couldn't literally anyone go back in time
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: and kill this dude before he invents time travel? But
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: maybe there are restrictions on how this works.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's also like this is just the random person
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: that they picked. Maybe it was affected by him.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 2: Well yeah, But what I'm saying is that, like I
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 2: think they pick her her because she actually does have
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 2: a history with this guy, because there's they look at
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 2: a photo that was taken when they were younger, right,
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 2: and when they're on this hiking trip, and so she's like,
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 2: this is an opportunity. It's before the algorithm goes live.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: You can kill him and then it will prevent all
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 2: this from happening. But I'm like, well, unless the only
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 2: reason she's able to go back is because she was
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 2: physically there when it happened, or when she was physically
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 2: in the same space as he was at some point
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 2: in the past. Maybe that makes sense. But I would
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 2: think anyone could go back in time because you clearly
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 2: still know what you're supposed to do, right, So it's
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: not like your memory got white and then you just
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 2: find him right because you know where he's gonna be.
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So why didn't they hire an assassin or something.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 2: Right, instead of just a random woman who? I mean,
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 2: she has she had, she has incentive because she wants
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 2: her son back. But yeah, I don't get it.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: It could be because she was there on that hike
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: that it wouldn't create an and that's.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: Who That's entirely possible. Yeah, I'm sure they explain it
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 2: in the film, like we just got the trailer right,
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 2: so we don't there's probably explanations for this. It's just
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: those questions that immediately pop into my head when I
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 2: watch it. It's Uh. I don't know if it's going
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: to get a wide release yet. It is coming to
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: the Sci Fi London Film Festival on May fifteenth. I
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 2: am curious to read later on like what people's reactions
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: were to seeing this film.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm actually interested in this one. And it's you know,
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: it's a conundrum that sci fi likes to play with
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: a lot. But it looks it looks well done.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it kind of reminds me. It's like Heinlen esque.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, which is cool. I like. I like some
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: of Heyland's sci fi stuff. Yeah, the stuff the kids kids.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 2: Spokes, right, the stuff that's not as creepy. Yeah, you know,
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 2: we're not going to go We already talked enough about blinking.
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to go into it more.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, like the rolling Stones and stuff like that.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: That was really cute. Less cute, but it's not deterring
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: me from my excitement. Is the trailer we got first
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: Spider Noir.
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I chose the true hue, full colored trailer. I'm
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 2: sure there's a black and white version out there too,
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 2: I'm certain.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: So. Yeah, it just shows us a little bit more
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: of the through plot. It's got some really funny beats
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: in it. Like towards the end of the trailer, Nick
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: Cage as Spider Noir is a little bit beat up
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: and the fem fatale asks what happened to you? And
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: he says, I walked into a door. She goes how
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: many times he's liked and it made me laugh out loud.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's cute. You also get to see some cool
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: super villain action like Mega Watt and Tombstone and others,
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 2: so that's really cool. Silvermin as well. Yeah, this looks good.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: It did have. This is the moment that shocked me,
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 2: like there was some spider based body horror in this trailer.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 2: I had to write to Ariel to let her know.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know, did I get to you in time
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 2: or had you already seen it?
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: I hadn't already seen it. It's good to know it's again.
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: It's not gonna stop me from watching this because I
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: love noir and I especially old old timey noir, and
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: I like Spider Man, and I really liked the across
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: the Spider Verse kind of cartoons and stuff, so uh,
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: I am excited for it. But yeah, like just watching
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 1: a thousand uh a thousand spiders call out if somebody
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: reminds me of that, like stories to tell in the
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: Dark series or whatever it was, Yeah, what about a
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: girl who got bit by a spider and then had
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: like spiders coming out of her face and these the
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: spiders weren't like super ugly spiders. They were just little,
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: big butted spiders.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I yeah, they weren't like big, hairy spiders
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 2: or anything. But yeah, when I when I saw that,
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 2: I thought, oh, I'm going to need to warm Becca
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 2: before we watch this, because if I don't, she will
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: divorce me.
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, hopefully hopefully you can like find where it's
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: at and she can just close her eyes.
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. My guess is that's going to be like
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 2: a hallucination type moment, is it. That's a guess. I
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: don't know for sure, But if it's actually happening to
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: a character, that's horrific.
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't really know how horrific this is going
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: to be.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 2: It's true. It comes to MGM Plus on May twenty
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 2: fifth and then comes to Prime on May twenty seventh.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 2: And I believe we said this last week that the
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 2: whole series is going to be dropped as a binge watch,
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: so you can watch it, like, you can watch it
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: all the way through if you want to, on day
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 2: the day it drops. So that's cool.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 2: Sometimes I like the week two week because it helps
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 2: build anticipation. It also helps cover perhaps some inconsistencies. Because
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 2: you have enough time to forget. But if you watch
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 2: them back to back, you're like, wait a minute, that's
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 2: not what he said like five seconds ago.
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it is interesting to me, Like I think
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: it must just be like a mental metrics thing, because
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: if you're releasing it all at once, just do like
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: a movie.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 2: Well, but it's going to be longer than like it's
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 2: ten episodes or something, so it's gonna be more than
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 2: a movie.
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it'd be a five hour thing. Oh, I mean
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: Zack Snyder movie but.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah, or a Peter Jackson movie.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean I guess that does build in,
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: like you can watch it at your pace. I know
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: that I have tended to, Like when Cobra Kai seasons
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: came out, or the Stranger Things season, we just set
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: aside a day and watch it all. But even that's
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: a fun thing to do, and you still have potty
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: breaks built in or yeah, like it's a break.
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 2: Becca and I would sit there like we would say, okay,
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 2: let's watch a couple of episodes of Superstore, and like
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 2: three hours later we're like, wow, we watched a lot
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 2: of Superstore.
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I like the ones that I can binge
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: on the weekends, and I also like having the week
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: to week, and sometimes the week to week is nice
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: and full, and I'm like, I've got this to look
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: forward to every day, and some weeks I'm like starting
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: to watch and there is stuff to watch, but it's hard.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: It takes energy to start a new show.
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and like, honestly, it's that that paralyzed feeling you
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 2: get when you have too many options, right, Like if
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 2: you had three choices, you might be able to pick something,
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 2: but you have three thousand choices.
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: It's also hard because sometimes you get done with the
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: show and you're not ready to be done with it,
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: and you're like, this is what I really want to watch.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: I want to watch more of this and yeah, So, like,
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: for instance, Ending the Pit and Shrinking, because both of
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: those recently ended, I've I've finished up this season of it.
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: I want to watch more of both of those shows.
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: And the shows that I have on my list to
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: watch next are exciting, but they aren't that style. Yeah, So,
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: like for All Mankind, I want to start, but it's
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: not the same feel at all, and so I have
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: to wait to like decompress from those two shows that
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: I both very much enjoyed to start this new different genre.
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 2: That makes sense. Well, we have one more story and
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 2: I don't have very much to say about this, but
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 2: we got a full trailer for Strange New World's season four.
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 2: This is the penultimate season. They're going to do a
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 2: season five and then that's it for this series. So
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 2: it comes to Paramount Plus on July twenty third. And
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, sure does look like Star Trek.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: It does. I really enjoy Strange New Worlds. I think,
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: like I haven't watched Academy because I think it's only
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: got the two seasons, but well, the one season out
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: and I think they're doing one more. I can't remember.
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: We've talked about it, but I have truly enjoyed Strange
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: New Worlds. It's had enough of the old school Star
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: Trek feel with lovely news stories, and I've enjoyed how
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: they treated the characters, and this feels like more of it.
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: This will also be our last I think ten episode season.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 1: Season five is going to be only six episodes from
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: what I've heard. That could be wrong, that could change.
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: I'm really enjoying the journey. I also totally respect them
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: sticking to the five years. I don't know if that
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 1: was their original plan, but it was set out as
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: a five year mission.
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 2: So yeah, that's how the original Star Trek, the original
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 2: series was framed right our five year mission. Yeah. This
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 2: is also I think the season where we get the
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 2: puppet episode where Jim Henson's Creature shop created all the puppets.
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 1: Well, let me tell you the in season three there
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: was a prototype Holid Deck episode that was amazing that
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: I almost like you could just watch that alone and
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: be completely happy.
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 2: Have they out of curiosity, have they done a Tribles
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: episode in Strange New Worlds.
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: I think they made a I don't remember. I feel
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: like they maybe made a nod to it, but there
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: wasn't like a Tribles episode because it is like they've
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: introduced Captain Kirk, but it's still most of the members
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: are part of Captain Pike's crews, so.
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 2: Right, And I guess they really shouldn't introduce that because
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 2: like that would mess with the continuity of the original series,
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 2: because I think that the idea was that everyone was
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 2: not really familiar with what Tribles were in that episode,
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 2: and so when they start like reproducing like crazy, it's
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 2: a surprise to them all. So it would be kind
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 2: of spoiling that to have that happen in Strange New Worlds.
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I could be misremembering. I think if they
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: are mentioned, it's only like a little nod to it.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: They do bring in like the Zorn and things like that,
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 1: so uh, which they handle really well. It's really cool,
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: and I just I really like it. I really really
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: like it good. I'm sure not everything lines up completely,
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: but it lines up well enough that I can overlook
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 1: any inconsistencies. And like, again, it's just one of those
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: it's did you watch Orville? I can't remember.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 2: No, No, I've never seen a Orville.
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 1: Okay, it's both Orville and Strange New Worlds do this
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: thing where they'll have like a fun episode and then
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: a serious episode and it doesn't feel it's genuine like
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: it feels it still feels genuine. It doesn't feel like
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: there's a big, like crashing conflict. I can't my word
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: is failing at the words, but like, I'm fine going on.
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 2: It doesn't feel like an artificial mandate where like it
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 2: feels natural as posed to well, last week was a
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 2: fun one, so get ready for a grim one.
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and the fun ones are really fun and
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: like the actor ansign Mount who plays Captain Pike plays
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: series very well, but he's also kind of like how
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: you liked Daniel Radcliffe and Reggie Dinkins. He's not afraid
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: to play and be a goof. Captain Pike isn't either,
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: which I love.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 2: Cool.
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, So there are some episodes that, like, I
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: wasn't as much of a fan of the musical episode
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: as some people, but I like that they swung for
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: the rafters with it.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, no, I like. I like when when shows
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 2: and films and stuff take big swings, even when I
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 2: don't fully enjoy the result, I respect the heck out
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 2: of taking the risk because it's so much easier to
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 2: just play it safe and just be like people like Klingons.
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 2: Let's do a kling On one or something like that. Right, Like,
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 2: to really take big swings is refreshing, so I applaud
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 2: that it doesn't always pay off, and you know, the
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 2: big swing still needs to make sense, y'all. If you
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 2: make a big swing where it's just like weird, like
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 2: well just for weird sake, that doesn't really work either.
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: I still hope that there's a day where you get
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: bored enough to watch a few episodes to see if
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 1: you do like it or not, because I know that
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: it would.
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 2: Mean that I have to get Paramount Plus. I know,
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 2: and I've already got so many.
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: I have been like I have been as soon as
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: I finish Reggie Dinkins Peacock Goes Away and I go
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: back to Disney Hulu to watch jaredehel.
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I need to figure out. I need to figure
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 2: out really sit down and say, Okay, which of these
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 2: do I really feel like I should keep, because like
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 2: part of me feels like I'm keeping them, like it's
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 2: fear of missing out. I think it's that, but or
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 2: it's just that I'm used to having these even though
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 2: I don't necessarily tap into them that much, and I'm
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 2: starting to wonder like I should really hone these down
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 2: to the ones that I actually go to the most often,
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 2: and right now though it would probably be Disney Plus
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 2: and Apple TV Plus. Those would be the two, and
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 2: to a lesser extent, Max, which I almost always go
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 2: to just to see what their film library is at
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 2: any given moment, and then like within fifteen minutes of scanning,
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 2: the titles go.
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: Like nah, So we used to keep Max because it
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: had all of like the DC stuff, so like Harley
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: Quinn and yeah, Doom Patrol and stuff like that. Now
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 1: we keep it because it's got well Tony likes Toree
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: you watching the old stuff like Sopranos or Newsroom or
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 1: stuff like that. But we keep it because the pit
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 1: is so freaking amazing, so.
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 2: Our yes are kind of I need to watch.
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: Uh uh It's it is hard because it deals with
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: stuff that happens in an e er, but it deals
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: with it in such a good way.
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 2: But I've dealt with things in an er a couple
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 2: of times myself.
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: So yeah, there's just enough humor in it, right, and
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 1: the and the characters are interesting and it's it's just
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: so well done. But yeah, we we have our our standards.
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 1: Some we don't get rid of because of ease, like
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: and then some and some that we cycle through. But uh, yeah,
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: we've alloviated enough on streaming channels. I think we need
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 1: to wrap this up.
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 2: Okay, Well, uh, I guess I'll hand it over to
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 2: my co host to give me the prompt.
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, I guess I can do that. Sorry, I'm getting
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 1: distracted by all the margarita is being made on my lawn. Yeah, Jonathan,
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 1: how do people reach out to us if they want
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 1: to tell us how they feel about stuff that we
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 1: talked about.
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 2: Well, you're gonna have to slip on some flip flops,
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 2: step on a pop top top, uh huh, and you're
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 2: gonna have to smell all those tourists covered in oil,
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 2: and you're gonna have to eat some sponge cake, and
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 2: you're gonna have to drink that frozen concoction that helps
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 2: you hang on. That's right. You gotta take a trip
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 2: down down to Margaritaville.
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 1: You have to. You have to steal the shaker of
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 1: salt from Jonathan.
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you have to. You also have to secretly
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 2: give me a tattoo without me knowing it, and it
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 2: needs to be a Mexican qutie so that I can
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 2: really relish in this. Actually, the most important thing is
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 2: you need to convince Margaritaville to bring back the cheeseburger
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 2: and Paradise Restaurant, and specifically the pressed cheeseburger, which they
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 2: would do as a turkey burger if I asked them to,
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 2: and was one of the best things I ever had
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 2: at any sit down restaurant, and it is a crime
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 2: that I can't get anymore. And yes, I know I
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 2: can make it myself, but it's not the same. They
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 2: turn the bun upside down essentially, and they have the
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 2: patty in the middle with the cheese and with all
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 2: the fixes and stuff, and then they griddle the bun
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 2: so like the the part that would normally be facing
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 2: the burger is facing out, and they toast that on
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 2: the grill, so it's like a it's almost like a
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 2: mix between a grilled cheese sandwich and a cheeseburger. And
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 2: it's so good. And if you can bring that back,
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 2: I will answer anything you want. If you can get
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 2: that to come back, let's sit down and chat. You
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 2: have me for as long as you need me, or
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 2: at least as long as it takes me to finish.
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Let's say five of those.
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 1: Their dessert notchos were also pretty balm. Yeah, no, honestly,
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: I agree. I missed Cheeseburger Paradise as well for the
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 1: exact same reason. So that's how you contact us this week.
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 2: That's it. That ends. That's no other way.
