- 0:07Speaker 1: The Large nerdron Collider podcast is a production of I
- 0:10Speaker 1: Heart Radio. Hey everybody, Welcome to the Large nerdrun Collider,
- 0:23Speaker 1: the podcast that's all about the geeky things happening in
- 0:26Speaker 1: the world around us and how very excited we are
- 0:28Speaker 1: about them. I'm Ariel casting, and with me, as always
- 0:33Speaker 1: is the super Jonathan Strickland. Ariel, I have a question
- 0:38Speaker 1: for you, considering that we are talking about super stuff,
- 0:47Speaker 1: flight or invisibility. Classic question. Yeah, so I I had
- 0:59Speaker 1: I think I'm going to have to go with invisibility.
- 1:01Speaker 1: I've had dreams all the time where like I'm a
- 1:04Speaker 1: kid and I can fly, but it's never like high
- 1:06Speaker 1: up in the air. It's always like you start running
- 1:09Speaker 1: and then you're just a foot above the ground. I'm
- 1:13Speaker 1: kind of afraid of heights and falling, so uh, I
- 1:17Speaker 1: I don't think i'd want to fly. However, I do
- 1:20Speaker 1: LARP and invisibility would be hilarious. I would never lose
- 1:24Speaker 1: a module. What about you, You'd be peeping in the
- 1:28Speaker 1: locker room. I understand, I got you. I know where
- 1:31Speaker 1: you're coming from. You. I go with flight because I'm
- 1:34Speaker 1: not a deviant like you. I like the idea of
- 1:38Speaker 1: being able to travel wherever I want, whenever I want,
- 1:41Speaker 1: soaring through the air majestically like some sort of bald pigeon. Yes,
- 1:47Speaker 1: flight for me all the way. I'm not I'm not
- 1:51Speaker 1: gonna do that whole like like invisible Man, creepy motif.
- 1:57Speaker 1: I'm not going to do a creepy motif. Look, I'm
- 1:59Speaker 1: just gonna hide in the woods and jump out at people.
- 2:02Speaker 1: You're right, that's I don't know what I was thinking.
- 2:08Speaker 1: Flying anywhere you want, any time you want is not
- 2:11Speaker 1: great because let's say you want to fly to Hawaii.
- 2:13Speaker 1: You didn't say that super strength comes with your flights.
- 2:16Speaker 1: So you're just gonna be carrying that very heavy suitcase
- 2:19Speaker 1: with you through their all the way to Hawaii're gonna
- 2:22Speaker 1: get so much perfect. I played on just buying everything.
- 2:26Speaker 1: Once I get there, I'm gonna go to first stop
- 2:29Speaker 1: in Hawaii, retail outlet, mall. Second stop in Hawaii, the beach,
- 2:35Speaker 1: maybe maybe the Pokah Act, because that that plaze is
- 2:38Speaker 1: the bomb. Okay, well, we've got We've got that, but
- 2:42Speaker 1: and we have news to cover. But before we get
- 2:44Speaker 1: to any of that aerial I've got some fast breaking news.
- 2:49Speaker 1: Here's the breaking news. It's super important. George Clooney has
- 2:53Speaker 1: signed on to become an executive producer and star of
- 2:56Speaker 1: a TV series Buck Rogers. Okay, oh that's great. What
- 3:02Speaker 1: what details do we have on that? George Clooney has
- 3:06Speaker 1: signed on to be an executive producer and star of
- 3:09Speaker 1: of a new Buck Rogers TV show. That's all I got.
- 3:13Speaker 1: I guess it wasn't I guess it wasn't that important. No,
- 3:17Speaker 1: I mean it's something to possibly look forward to, so that,
- 3:20Speaker 1: you know, in a couple of months when we get
- 3:22Speaker 1: details about it, you go, oh, yeah, I remember that.
- 3:24Speaker 1: I like Buck Rogers. Did you ever watch the TV
- 3:27Speaker 1: series The Camp, like nineteen seventies era? Oh? Man, I
- 3:32Speaker 1: watched that too, And whenever I think about that, I
- 3:35Speaker 1: think of mel Blank doing the voice of Tweaky, the
- 3:40Speaker 1: little robot Bat bat bat. Uh. So I'm not sure
- 3:43Speaker 1: it's going to be the same, especially since I'm pretty
- 3:45Speaker 1: sure they're going to go back to the original reference material,
- 3:50Speaker 1: which doesn't have a spunky little sidekick robot. But yeah,
- 3:55Speaker 1: I saw that news and thought, well, we should include
- 3:57Speaker 1: this because you know, it's it's a nostalgic for for
- 4:01Speaker 1: me and you and all the young listeners out there
- 4:04Speaker 1: are like what buck who that? You know what? It's
- 4:10Speaker 1: okay because the next news item we have is four
- 4:13Speaker 1: young listeners, uh, which is that the Guinness Book of
- 4:18Speaker 1: World Records is trying to do, uh like make is
- 4:24Speaker 1: set a record of the most people singing a song
- 4:27Speaker 1: from the Greatest Showman ever. So let's say it's a
- 4:31Speaker 1: big collaborative effort, right that You're going to have the
- 4:33Speaker 1: most people singing and they're going to create a collaborative
- 4:36Speaker 1: video of all these different people singing a particular song
- 4:41Speaker 1: from the Great Showman, which is from now on. Uh.
- 4:45Speaker 1: They are trying to get at least five thousand participants.
- 4:48Speaker 1: It is a benefit for the Actor's Fund, which, if
- 4:51Speaker 1: you are not familiar, is is a financial fund for
- 4:55Speaker 1: the Broadway actors who really need it right now since
- 4:58Speaker 1: Broadway is still closed a year later and probably will
- 5:03Speaker 1: be for most of one Unfortunately, I want to go
- 5:08Speaker 1: see my shows. I know me too. But as of
- 5:13Speaker 1: listening to this episode, you can still be a part.
- 5:16Speaker 1: They want you to record the video and challenge for
- 5:21Speaker 1: friends using the hashtag b Way World Record uh and
- 5:27Speaker 1: share it on social media. They also say that you
- 5:29Speaker 1: can tag Broadway stars and challenge them. You know that
- 5:33Speaker 1: Hugh Jackman is going to be part of this. Yeah,
- 5:36Speaker 1: they've already got some actors committed. They've got Alice Ripley
- 5:39Speaker 1: from Next to Normal, John tartag Lea from Avenue Q,
- 5:43Speaker 1: Kristen Anderson Lopez from Frozen, and Jay Armstrong Johnson from
- 5:47Speaker 1: Family the Opera. Uh, and you can be a part
- 5:52Speaker 1: of this up until February, which is the deadline. I
- 5:55Speaker 1: think I think I'll give this one a skip because
- 5:58Speaker 1: my singing voice isn't strong enough off and also, uh,
- 6:02Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm at best a casual fan of the
- 6:07Speaker 1: Greatest Showman. At best, I was about to say, like,
- 6:12Speaker 1: they don't say anything about having to sing it. Well,
- 6:15Speaker 1: so that's just an excuse. But I do understand the
- 6:20Speaker 1: Greatest Showman I'm not a huge fan of. You know what,
- 6:23Speaker 1: I would have actually would have enjoyed it a lot
- 6:25Speaker 1: more if they had not said it was supposed to
- 6:28Speaker 1: be P. T. Barnum, because I had real issues with
- 6:32Speaker 1: the the lionization of P. T. Barnum, who was a
- 6:36Speaker 1: much more complicated person than the musical would have you understand.
- 6:42Speaker 1: But that's that's But I don't want to yuck. Anyone's
- 6:45Speaker 1: yeah either. I know a lot of people really love
- 6:47Speaker 1: The Greatest Showman and there's nothing wrong with loving it.
- 6:50Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's you do you for me? There
- 6:53Speaker 1: was one song in that show that I really loved
- 6:57Speaker 1: and another song that I liked, but but that was it.
- 7:01Speaker 1: Everything else neither of them are from now on fair enough.
- 7:07Speaker 1: I mean, it is interesting to say they've gotten permission
- 7:09Speaker 1: from Disney to do this. Yes, yes, this is this
- 7:12Speaker 1: is something that's got full clearance. To me, It's again
- 7:14Speaker 1: another remarkable example of Disney giving the go ahead for
- 7:19Speaker 1: some creative uses of their properties, which, as we've pointed
- 7:23Speaker 1: out in previous episodes, is remarkable considering how protective Disney
- 7:28Speaker 1: has been of its I P in the past. Also
- 7:31Speaker 1: weird but delightful was the latest trailer for Raya in
- 7:36Speaker 1: The Last Dragon. I really, you know what, I hadn't
- 7:39Speaker 1: seen anything. I knew about this movie. I knew it
- 7:41Speaker 1: was coming out, but I hadn't seen any trailers. I
- 7:43Speaker 1: hadn't watched anything of it until we were making this episode.
- 7:49Speaker 1: And uh, and the trailer is. First of all, the
- 7:52Speaker 1: style looks amazing. They made Riya look like a total
- 7:57Speaker 1: um kick but warrior. I was trying to think of
- 8:01Speaker 1: a good family friendly way of saying it. She looks
- 8:04Speaker 1: amazing in it. The antagonist is, at least from what
- 8:09Speaker 1: I can gather from the trailer, also a woman, and
- 8:12Speaker 1: then the dragon is a female dragon. So we've got
- 8:17Speaker 1: a film where multiple characters, important characters to the story
- 8:22Speaker 1: are all women, which I also thought was awesome. It's
- 8:25Speaker 1: not no one draws attention to it in the trailer,
- 8:29Speaker 1: but I noticed it just because it's something that we
- 8:31Speaker 1: haven't seen a lot of until fairly recently, and I
- 8:35Speaker 1: like that that trend is continuing. I do too. I
- 8:39Speaker 1: also really like that. Um. I like that the character
- 8:43Speaker 1: is such a kick but character, Like you said, UM, there,
- 8:48Speaker 1: it's it almost feels like Disney wanted their take on
- 8:52Speaker 1: the Avatar the Last Airbender. To me, yeah, I was
- 8:55Speaker 1: getting a lot of that. I was getting a little
- 8:57Speaker 1: bit of Mulan vibes. Um. There were a couple of
- 9:01Speaker 1: other like properties I would think of, even a coupa
- 9:04Speaker 1: and the two strings. Um, there's a little bit of
- 9:06Speaker 1: that in there. There. There's there's definitely some stuff you
- 9:10Speaker 1: can tell where some influences came in. Um. The attitude
- 9:14Speaker 1: of the Dragon feels like very much a nod to
- 9:17Speaker 1: sort of woosh you and mulan um. I mean, it's
- 9:21Speaker 1: Aquafina and it's a it's a good trailer, and the
- 9:27Speaker 1: action looks like it's going to be really really interesting.
- 9:30Speaker 1: I am eager to see this. You know, it's interesting
- 9:34Speaker 1: because it doesn't it doesn't look like the kind of
- 9:37Speaker 1: typical feel good sort of Disney stuff like. It doesn't
- 9:43Speaker 1: seem all all warm and fuzzy and squishy. It seems
- 9:46Speaker 1: a little more action oriented um, which is great too.
- 9:50Speaker 1: I think that looks really interesting. I think I haven't
- 9:53Speaker 1: been as excited for a Disney computer animated movie as
- 9:58Speaker 1: this since Rerecord Ralph, which I know that you don't
- 10:01Speaker 1: feel the same way about that movie as I do.
- 10:03Speaker 1: For me, I think i'd have to go with if
- 10:05Speaker 1: we're not talking picks are, if we're just talking about
- 10:07Speaker 1: Disney proper Big Hero six, Yeah, I can see that
- 10:11Speaker 1: as well, which has a very similar kind of actionly
- 10:15Speaker 1: vibe to it. This will be available on Disney Plus
- 10:19Speaker 1: on their premier for premium on March five, which means
- 10:22Speaker 1: eventually you'll get it on your regular subscription, but I
- 10:25Speaker 1: might Honestly, I think I'm going to pay for it too,
- 10:27Speaker 1: because I really want to see it, and I don't
- 10:29Speaker 1: want I want that that experience of discovery and not
- 10:33Speaker 1: have everything kind of laid out for me before I
- 10:35Speaker 1: get a chance to see it, because the discovery part,
- 10:39Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure we can talk about this in
- 10:40Speaker 1: a longer section at some future episode, but the discovery
- 10:44Speaker 1: part of a new property is one of the great
- 10:46Speaker 1: joys for me. Like I can handle going in hearing spoilers,
- 10:51Speaker 1: but I really love that that experience of discovering something
- 10:55Speaker 1: as it's playing out. Um, you just can't really, you
- 10:59Speaker 1: can't implicate that if you already know what's happening before
- 11:02Speaker 1: you go and see it. It's different. You can still
- 11:04Speaker 1: enjoy it. There's nothing wrong with it, but it is different. Mhm,
- 11:09Speaker 1: I agree. I agree. Something on Disney Plus that you
- 11:12Speaker 1: I don't think you're going to have to pay premium
- 11:14Speaker 1: for is the Black Panther show that's in develop or
- 11:18Speaker 1: at least a Waconda show. It's a show set in Waconda.
- 11:21Speaker 1: What whether or not it panther director, whether or not
- 11:25Speaker 1: it involves a black panther character, uh, played by sure,
- 11:30Speaker 1: you would imagine we don't know it may be that
- 11:33Speaker 1: it may not even be set in the quote unquote
- 11:36Speaker 1: modern day of the Marvel Cinemaic universe. There's no real telling,
- 11:40Speaker 1: but we know that the director of Black Panther is
- 11:43Speaker 1: going to be behind the development of the show, and
- 11:46Speaker 1: that it is set in Waconda and bring it on.
- 11:50Speaker 1: I am eager to see more of that world. Yeah. Yeah,
- 11:55Speaker 1: it was such such great creation, and we only get
- 11:57Speaker 1: a small part of it in the first Panther movie,
- 12:00Speaker 1: so and and and a little bit in Infinity War
- 12:04Speaker 1: a little bit. Not near enough, not near enough. You
- 12:07Speaker 1: can tell that there's a whole bunch of written richness
- 12:10Speaker 1: in that world that we didn't get to see. Uh.
- 12:13Speaker 1: Something I did get to see this week. Uh is this?
- 12:18Speaker 1: This was something Ariel shared with me that I had
- 12:20Speaker 1: not seen, And I'm so thankful that I have a
- 12:24Speaker 1: co host like Ariel to bring this into my life. Yeah.
- 12:28Speaker 1: Is Uh. Some fans took the Jurassic Park trailer and
- 12:32Speaker 1: mashed it up with peee Herman making all of the
- 12:35Speaker 1: dinosaurs pee wee Herman. When you hear that concept, you say, oh,
- 12:39Speaker 1: I know what this is gonna look like. But no,
- 12:42Speaker 1: it's way better than what you imagine in your brain.
- 12:44Speaker 1: For for one thing, they resisted the urge of making
- 12:48Speaker 1: a dinosaur sized peee Herman. It's a Peewee Herman's size
- 12:52Speaker 1: pewe Herman. And the the integration of peee Herman shots
- 12:58Speaker 1: into Jurassic Park scenes is done pretty darn well. Like
- 13:04Speaker 1: there are bits where you're looking at a Jurassic Park
- 13:07Speaker 1: character and Peewee Hermon is popping up from behind a tree,
- 13:11Speaker 1: and you know, you can tell there was some compositing done,
- 13:14Speaker 1: but it looks really good for for a for a joke. Yeah,
- 13:20Speaker 1: And there's only one time where they skipped to like
- 13:25Speaker 1: a not Jurassic Park scene and it's brief, yes, I think, yeah, yeah,
- 13:31Speaker 1: where where it's him over at on the corner of
- 13:33Speaker 1: a house and he's just doing his little peee Herman laught.
- 13:36Speaker 1: Everything else is essentially Jurassic Park with some Peee Hermon
- 13:39Speaker 1: integrated into it, including the infamous sequence where the t
- 13:43Speaker 1: Rex is chasing the jeep and it's the must go faster,
- 13:46Speaker 1: must go faster. And I don't want to say anymore
- 13:49Speaker 1: than that other than you need to see it to
- 13:53Speaker 1: really appreciate it. But we'll put that link in our
- 13:56Speaker 1: show notes on our website when this episode goes lie
- 14:00Speaker 1: so that you can watch it too. We just wanted
- 14:02Speaker 1: to give it a shout out since we love mashups.
- 14:04Speaker 1: We had to love on this mashup. Yes, and that
- 14:09Speaker 1: wraps up our quick headlines for this week. When we
- 14:13Speaker 1: come back, we are going to have a deep discussion
- 14:17Speaker 1: about the DC Cinematic Universe and what we would do
- 14:21Speaker 1: if we were put in charge of it in order
- 14:23Speaker 1: to kind of fix it. Seems like it's really presumptuous,
- 14:28Speaker 1: but I'm going to say fix it and then also
- 14:31Speaker 1: stick around because at the end of this episode with
- 14:33Speaker 1: our mashup, we are we have chosen a mash up
- 14:36Speaker 1: topic that is in part a tribute to the late
- 14:39Speaker 1: great Cloris Leachman, a phenomenal comic actor who we lost,
- 14:46Speaker 1: uh just recently, and so you want to stick around
- 14:50Speaker 1: for that too. But first we gotta take this quick
- 14:53Speaker 1: break and we're back. Thanks for coming back with us.
- 15:07Speaker 1: So we're going to talk about the d C EU
- 15:10Speaker 1: and Jonathan, I'm taking it by uh you saying that
- 15:13Speaker 1: it needed to be fixed before the break, that you
- 15:15Speaker 1: are not a fan of how it is currently being
- 15:18Speaker 1: laid out. I am not Ariel, thank you for asking
- 15:23Speaker 1: me about this. Uh No, I I I've made it
- 15:26Speaker 1: pretty clear. Anyone who listened to old episodes of Large
- 15:29Speaker 1: Nerdron Collider, the classic ones from like seventeen, you know
- 15:35Speaker 1: that even back then I was complaining about the way
- 15:38Speaker 1: d C was going about their cinematic universe, that that,
- 15:42Speaker 1: uh that dead horse is still continuing to be beaten
- 15:45Speaker 1: by yours, truly, because I don't think it's necessarily gotten
- 15:49Speaker 1: much better. I have multiple problems with it. Problem one
- 15:53Speaker 1: is that the whole Zack Snyder take on making everything
- 15:57Speaker 1: dark and grim doesn't sit too well with me, largely because, like,
- 16:03Speaker 1: I think there should be some dark and grim nous
- 16:05Speaker 1: in there. I think there need to be stinks, Like
- 16:08Speaker 1: without stakes, there's no conflict, and without conflict there's no drama.
- 16:12Speaker 1: But I feel like heroes need to occasionally be i
- 16:16Speaker 1: don't know, heroic, yeah, and inspiring and that sort of thing,
- 16:21Speaker 1: which is why Wonder Woman, the original Wonder Woman film
- 16:25Speaker 1: from this this latest match is still I think my
- 16:29Speaker 1: favorite of all the ones that have come out so far,
- 16:31Speaker 1: with the possible exception of Shazam, which feels almost tangential,
- 16:36Speaker 1: but it was also pretty dark it was pretty dark,
- 16:39Speaker 1: but it had more lighthearted moments than any of the
- 16:41Speaker 1: other DC films. And then the other part kind of
- 16:45Speaker 1: ties into that tangential thing, which is that there is
- 16:48Speaker 1: no coherent or cohesive strategy, right Like, there are so
- 16:54Speaker 1: many different DC properties, and there are disagreements about which
- 16:58Speaker 1: ones actually fit into the main line DC universe versus
- 17:02Speaker 1: being some sort of offshoot like Joker. The movie Joker,
- 17:05Speaker 1: which a lot of people loved, is not part of
- 17:08Speaker 1: the mainstream DC cinematic universe. There was talk of another
- 17:13Speaker 1: Jared Leto Joker movie, which never, as far as I know,
- 17:18Speaker 1: is not happening, but that also wasn't going to be
- 17:20Speaker 1: part of the mainstream DC universe. And you start to wonder, well,
- 17:25Speaker 1: why are you bothering crafting these I mean, I understand
- 17:29Speaker 1: the appeal of having heroes from different uh, different franchises,
- 17:35Speaker 1: are different lines crossover. There's always like it's that dream,
- 17:39Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's Batman and Superman. Like, I get it,
- 17:42Speaker 1: that's a big deal in the comics, it's a big
- 17:44Speaker 1: deal in the movies. But if you're not going to
- 17:46Speaker 1: craft a really strong, coherent universe, then it almost seems
- 17:53Speaker 1: like you should really just be developing one shot films
- 17:56Speaker 1: that are good stories featuring these characters, but there's no
- 18:00Speaker 1: necessary connective tissue to everything else. I agree, So I
- 18:05Speaker 1: mean d C to the dark thing. D C is
- 18:08Speaker 1: not a stranger two dark storylines in the comics, but
- 18:14Speaker 1: I do feel like you need to you need to
- 18:17Speaker 1: set up the hero in that story as the hero,
- 18:20Speaker 1: like you said before, you can enjoy that journey down
- 18:25Speaker 1: down a path that they maybe shouldn't go. You're more
- 18:29Speaker 1: invested then, um, and then, yeah, the continuity is hard.
- 18:34Speaker 1: I feel like they they tried so hard to catch
- 18:36Speaker 1: up with Marvel, but by that time, they already had
- 18:39Speaker 1: a bunch of TV shows out, and they already had
- 18:42Speaker 1: all of these one off movies. We've had so many
- 18:44Speaker 1: Batman series, um, that it was almost like an afterthought.
- 18:48Speaker 1: I do feel like they up until the Snyder cut,
- 18:52Speaker 1: I feel like they had been slowly edging away from
- 18:55Speaker 1: everything being super dark, even through this latest wonder Woman movie. UM,
- 19:00Speaker 1: but I still feel like trying to add that levity
- 19:04Speaker 1: to what little through line there is, it just makes
- 19:07Speaker 1: the stories extra long and extra convoluted. Yeah. Yeah, no,
- 19:12Speaker 1: there's there's no efficiency in storytelling in the DC cinematic universe.
- 19:16Speaker 1: Everything is a little too bloated, and uh, I mean
- 19:22Speaker 1: when when there are important block points that hinge on
- 19:26Speaker 1: such silly things like the fact that two characters have
- 19:30Speaker 1: mother figures who were named Martha and somehow that's what
- 19:33Speaker 1: brings them together. I mean, I get it, like that's
- 19:36Speaker 1: been that's been mean to death, right, but it's still ridiculous.
- 19:40Speaker 1: It's why it's been mean to death. It is a
- 19:42Speaker 1: ridiculous point in a film. And uh, you know, there's
- 19:47Speaker 1: just so many decisions that I disagreed with, especially in
- 19:50Speaker 1: those early Snyder films, like without as you say, without
- 19:55Speaker 1: making the hero heroic, you have no one to cheer for.
- 20:00Speaker 1: You're It's like they decided they wanted to skip straight
- 20:03Speaker 1: to the Frank Miller version of Old Batman and show
- 20:09Speaker 1: him as you know, someone who was who is still
- 20:13Speaker 1: plotting along. But it is very cynical and very um
- 20:17Speaker 1: uh pessimistic about things and um pragmatic in a way
- 20:22Speaker 1: that's extremely dark, And they didn't want to get to
- 20:25Speaker 1: any of the stuff that led him to that journey.
- 20:28Speaker 1: They just wanted to jump to that satan with them
- 20:30Speaker 1: with the fact that they didn't go through the same
- 20:32Speaker 1: setup that Marvel did when it began to establish all
- 20:37Speaker 1: these individual characters and then the connection they had with
- 20:41Speaker 1: one another to lead into the Avengers titles. And you know,
- 20:45Speaker 1: we didn't even get into the Thanos storyline until we
- 20:49Speaker 1: were probably about halfway through those initial Marvel films. It
- 20:54Speaker 1: was only in the back half that the Thanos storyline
- 20:57Speaker 1: really started to play out, and to the point where
- 21:00Speaker 1: some people were even asking, like, why should we care
- 21:02Speaker 1: about Thanos? And then in Fanity war happened and everyone
- 21:05Speaker 1: suddenly really cared about Thanos. But it just showed that
- 21:09Speaker 1: they did a very long lead up to that, whereas
- 21:12Speaker 1: d C was almost like dump all the toys out
- 21:14Speaker 1: on the floor, Okay, now they're all together, let's make
- 21:18Speaker 1: them do stuff. But they didn't build any of that individually.
- 21:22Speaker 1: Like I said, I feel like it really was them
- 21:24Speaker 1: playing a game of ketchup to try to to try
- 21:27Speaker 1: to get to Marvel success level before people were burnt
- 21:30Speaker 1: out on superheroes, which has come and gone since the
- 21:35Speaker 1: m c U has begun. Um. I feel like when
- 21:38Speaker 1: they said okay, now anybody can make any movie about
- 21:41Speaker 1: any DC character, DC comic character, um, that it was
- 21:48Speaker 1: their attempt to try to salvage the fandom without having
- 21:57Speaker 1: to continue, like basically trying out alternate timelines to see
- 22:02Speaker 1: if any of those stick better than their current prime timeline,
- 22:07Speaker 1: so then they can just switch over to that. I mean,
- 22:10Speaker 1: like clearly the Harley Quinn movie as an example of that.
- 22:14Speaker 1: Right where the Harley Quinn film, they saw how people
- 22:18Speaker 1: responded to the character of Harley Quinn and Suicide Squad,
- 22:22Speaker 1: even though that movie is its own garbage fire, the
- 22:26Speaker 1: first the first one, because I think the next one
- 22:29Speaker 1: is gonna be really good, well until it comes out,
- 22:33Speaker 1: I'm not gonna hold my breath, right, so they have
- 22:36Speaker 1: to prove me wrong. Okay, I don't. I feel pretty
- 22:40Speaker 1: comfortable saying the first film is a garbage fire. Uh,
- 22:44Speaker 1: But that that led to the ability for the Harley
- 22:47Speaker 1: Harley Quinn film to come out, and I think people
- 22:49Speaker 1: responded more toward that, which just showed that there are
- 22:54Speaker 1: and Joker again. Joker is another movie that did phenomenally well. Um,
- 23:01Speaker 1: I'll spare you my thoughts on Joker, but it did
- 23:04Speaker 1: really well and again is not connected to the rest
- 23:07Speaker 1: of the threads in the d C universe. So it's
- 23:13Speaker 1: a complicated issue. Like if it were me, I'd almost say, like,
- 23:15Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna have to start with a fresh slate. Um,
- 23:20Speaker 1: some of the casting I might keep, because I think
- 23:23Speaker 1: that some of the folks who are in their roles
- 23:25Speaker 1: are good for those roles. But like, we're just gonna
- 23:30Speaker 1: do what the comic books do occasionally, which is that
- 23:33Speaker 1: you do a big reset. It happens in comics all
- 23:36Speaker 1: the time, where you have some sort of cataclysmic event
- 23:39Speaker 1: that destroys every reality so that it can start fresh,
- 23:43Speaker 1: and then you start screwing it up all over again,
- 23:45Speaker 1: but at least you can start fresh. Well. And I
- 23:47Speaker 1: thought that's what they were doing with the James Gunn
- 23:49Speaker 1: Suicide Squad that's coming out, because it's just it's it's
- 23:53Speaker 1: not a second movie, it's just another suicide squad movie.
- 23:57Speaker 1: But then they talked But and you know, James and
- 24:00Speaker 1: did great with Guardians of the Galaxy, and the cast
- 24:03Speaker 1: for this new movie is pretty spectacular. Um, they all
- 24:07Speaker 1: all of the actors ride a good line between action
- 24:10Speaker 1: and intense and comedy. But then they did carry over
- 24:15Speaker 1: some of the characters like Harley Quinn and Boomerang and
- 24:18Speaker 1: things like that, so it's not quite as much of
- 24:21Speaker 1: a reboot as I initially thought it was going to be. Yeah. Um,
- 24:26Speaker 1: so if you were trying to fix this, like my
- 24:30Speaker 1: my argument is to scrap it all and start over. Um.
- 24:34Speaker 1: But do you think it's something that you could see
- 24:37Speaker 1: as being salvageable, like keeping everything that exists now and
- 24:42Speaker 1: just building further upon it. Yes. Yes, And my reasoning
- 24:46Speaker 1: for that is I've said since the beginning, and if
- 24:49Speaker 1: you're a long time Lency listener you'll know this that
- 24:51Speaker 1: I feel like the real problem with the Justice League
- 24:53Speaker 1: is how dark it is. I feel like they've been
- 24:56Speaker 1: going lighter and lighter and lighter. Uh, just a league
- 25:01Speaker 1: much like the newer teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies. The
- 25:05Speaker 1: storyline was not strong, but they got the characters right. Um.
- 25:10Speaker 1: Even at the end Superman got to be Superman and
- 25:12Speaker 1: that was nice. But I enjoyed watching all the characters
- 25:15Speaker 1: and I enjoyed watching their chemistry. So all we need
- 25:18Speaker 1: to do is have happy Superman fly around the world
- 25:22Speaker 1: reverse time and then we can continue on with the
- 25:26Speaker 1: Justice League. Because that movie did the poorest and to
- 25:29Speaker 1: me it was one of the most one of the
- 25:32Speaker 1: more enjoyable ones. Um. Maybe not quite a character from
- 25:37Speaker 1: a character standpoint, maybe not as quite as enjoyable as
- 25:39Speaker 1: Wonder Woman or Aquaman, which I both. I found both
- 25:42Speaker 1: of them fun, but far too long. Um and mainly
- 25:46Speaker 1: because the Justice League villain was pretty milk toasty. But um, well,
- 25:51Speaker 1: now you're going to get dark side in the Snyder cut.
- 25:53Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't. Yeah, that's that's exactly how I feel. Arial,
- 25:59Speaker 1: So don't don't badly about it. But Snider, but more movies.
- 26:05Speaker 1: I appreciate what you say, Like I I, I don't
- 26:09Speaker 1: deny that, you know, you could continue. Obviously they're going
- 26:12Speaker 1: to continue to build on the foundation they have laid.
- 26:16Speaker 1: I think the reason, the real reason, if you really
- 26:18Speaker 1: boil it down then I want to scrap it all
- 26:20Speaker 1: and start over is fundamentally I despise the fact that
- 26:27Speaker 1: the Kents we're trying to tell Clark to be selfish
- 26:33Speaker 1: and to to value self preservation over helping others, because
- 26:38Speaker 1: to me, that is fundamentally the opposite of what most
- 26:45Speaker 1: versions of Superman's origin story point to, like the whole
- 26:48Speaker 1: idea being that this is an alien who decides that
- 26:52Speaker 1: he wants to protect humans because he was raised by
- 26:56Speaker 1: genuinely decent people, and when you take that away, it
- 27:01Speaker 1: just like to me, it's like, well, you just ruined everything.
- 27:04Speaker 1: You just you've soured the whole thing. And yeah, you
- 27:08Speaker 1: can get them to come around and choose to be noble,
- 27:12Speaker 1: but that's a different character arc ar. It's not it's
- 27:16Speaker 1: not invalid. It just to me, isn't Superman. I mean,
- 27:20Speaker 1: I get it, I get it. You know. I enjoyed
- 27:22Speaker 1: Man of Steel, which is is the movie that started
- 27:25Speaker 1: that whole path you don't like of Superman. But while
- 27:29Speaker 1: I thought it was an entertaining movie, I did not
- 27:31Speaker 1: think it was a great Superman movie. It wasn't it.
- 27:38Speaker 1: It wasn't a great Superman movie to start off the
- 27:41Speaker 1: d C EU with. Yeah, at the time, I didn't
- 27:44Speaker 1: know there was going to be a d C EU,
- 27:46Speaker 1: So yeah, I just to me, it was like it
- 27:50Speaker 1: was it started with a wrong turn and then it
- 27:53Speaker 1: got more wronger. Fair enough, but you know what, we
- 27:58Speaker 1: also admit like that that's onto our personal tastes. There
- 28:01Speaker 1: may be many of you out there who absolutely love
- 28:03Speaker 1: the DC Cinematic Universe, which you know that's totally valid too,
- 28:07Speaker 1: Like your opinions are just as valid as ours. Yeah,
- 28:09Speaker 1: and you know, like you said, I've seen the d
- 28:12Speaker 1: c EU movies and I will continue to see them.
- 28:14Speaker 1: And you know, Marvel has had to scrap some of
- 28:17Speaker 1: their properties or has tried to scrap some of their
- 28:20Speaker 1: properties multiple times to relaunch them, X Men, Fantastic Four,
- 28:24Speaker 1: things like that, So it's not just parent property specific. Yeah, no,
- 28:32Speaker 1: I mean that also, Marvel has has caught some flak
- 28:34Speaker 1: for not integrating some of their Netflix TV series into
- 28:38Speaker 1: the overall Marvel Cinematic universe. Like that direction only goes
- 28:42Speaker 1: one way, where the stuff that happened in the movies
- 28:45Speaker 1: gets referenced in the shows, but the shows never get
- 28:47Speaker 1: to carry over into the movies, which is unfortunate because
- 28:51Speaker 1: Daredevil and Jessica Jones and Luke Cage are all awesome
- 28:54Speaker 1: and Iron Fist is also there. Yeah, but we think
- 28:56Speaker 1: that Daredevil is going to be in The New Spider Man,
- 28:58Speaker 1: so that's what we're hoping, So maybe all the rest
- 29:01Speaker 1: will follow suit. We'll see if it works, then they
- 29:03Speaker 1: might continue it. Yeah, but you know, this was our
- 29:07Speaker 1: our DC conversation. If we want to talk Marvel, we're
- 29:10Speaker 1: going to have to wait till after the break with
- 29:12Speaker 1: our mash up Okay, Ariel, you picked the two properties
- 29:34Speaker 1: that we're going to mash up, and initially I resisted this,
- 29:37Speaker 1: but eventually came around what I thought of a joke
- 29:40Speaker 1: so bad that I had to do a mash up.
- 29:44Speaker 1: But let's explain what two properties you picked? Okay. So
- 29:49Speaker 1: we picked the fantastic four mainly because of some conversations
- 29:53Speaker 1: happening around one division that we're not going to get
- 29:55Speaker 1: into because spoilers. Uh. And we also pay young Frankenstein.
- 30:01Speaker 1: So let's talk a little bit about these properties, because
- 30:05Speaker 1: at least in my mash up, I have some let's
- 30:10Speaker 1: call them deep cuts that I reference that I think
- 30:14Speaker 1: are going to be lost on probably nine cinemaur audience. Sure.
- 30:20Speaker 1: But the basic story is that there's this gentleman Gene
- 30:22Speaker 1: Wilder who is uh Dr Franken Frankenstein uh because he
- 30:30Speaker 1: doesn't want to be confused with the crazy Dr Frankenstein Um.
- 30:34Speaker 1: Who finds out he's got a like a familial house
- 30:38Speaker 1: that he's he's earned when his great great grandfather passed away, um,
- 30:42Speaker 1: And he goes there and then he becomes the mad
- 30:44Speaker 1: scientist and eventually accepts his name Frankenstein. But there's uh
- 30:49Speaker 1: huge amount of comedy. You've got I Gore, who is
- 30:54Speaker 1: a play on igor. You've got fred Blueckhardt, who's the
- 30:58Speaker 1: character that Cloris Leachman play Aid, who every time they
- 31:02Speaker 1: say her name, no matter where she is, a horse
- 31:04Speaker 1: whinnies because it sounds familiar to the German word for
- 31:07Speaker 1: glue um, which is never explained in the movie, but
- 31:10Speaker 1: it just happens. It's a running gag that they never explain,
- 31:14Speaker 1: and I love it. And it's just such a lighthearted,
- 31:18Speaker 1: fun play on on a really great but kind of
- 31:22Speaker 1: dark story. Frankenstein. Um, that is just brilliant. Yeah. Uh,
- 31:27Speaker 1: Fantastic Four. Okay, So in case you aren't aware of
- 31:29Speaker 1: who the Fantastic Four are, it's a heroic group of
- 31:33Speaker 1: four characters. Uh. There have been different members of the
- 31:36Speaker 1: Fantastic Four over the years, but the classic four are
- 31:40Speaker 1: Read Richards, who is Mr Fantastic. He can stretch his
- 31:44Speaker 1: limbs and get all bendy bendy. There's uh, Sue Storm
- 31:49Speaker 1: later Sue Richards, who is the invisible first the invisible girl,
- 31:53Speaker 1: but she manages to screw the patriarchy and become the
- 31:57Speaker 1: invisible woman. Um. Yeah about comics were not the most
- 32:01Speaker 1: woke back in the day. Uh, you have Johnny Storm,
- 32:05Speaker 1: Sue's brother, who is the human Torch, and you have
- 32:08Speaker 1: Ben Graham who becomes the Thing, a big rocky orange
- 32:14Speaker 1: hulk like guy, and they end up being a radiated
- 32:20Speaker 1: There's different versions of their origin story, but that's how
- 32:22Speaker 1: they all get their powers. So they didn't start off
- 32:24Speaker 1: with powers. They get them because they're exposed to radiation.
- 32:28Speaker 1: They typically are facing off against pretty weird and cosmic
- 32:33Speaker 1: kind of of bad guys and problems, but they also
- 32:39Speaker 1: have a enemy in Dr Doom. Dr Doom is frequently
- 32:43Speaker 1: their antagonist, and for my story, one important thing you
- 32:48Speaker 1: need to know is that, at least in one version
- 32:51Speaker 1: of the Marvel timeline read Richards and Sue Richards have
- 32:55Speaker 1: a son named Franklin Richards who has like reality the
- 33:00Speaker 1: bending powers. That's going to be important in my story.
- 33:07Speaker 1: There's also other references that longtime Marvel fans are going
- 33:12Speaker 1: to get and nobody else, So just a warning, yeah,
- 33:18Speaker 1: kind of kind of the same with mine. Um I
- 33:21Speaker 1: actually I was on the opposite end. I was very
- 33:24Speaker 1: excited about this at the beginning, and as I was
- 33:25Speaker 1: writing my mashup, I quickly went, oh, this is I
- 33:31Speaker 1: cannot meet Melbrook's genius. But yeah, this was a challenging one,
- 33:36Speaker 1: I will admit. But once I came up with the
- 33:39Speaker 1: terrible punchline, everything else was just like how long can
- 33:42Speaker 1: I delay getting to the punchline. It's it's a tribute.
- 33:46Speaker 1: It's a tribute to something we love and a great actress.
- 33:51Speaker 1: So uh, I apologize and here we go with the
- 33:54Speaker 1: fantastic Frow blue curtaine okay. So to Read Richards pronounced
- 34:01Speaker 1: Reshorts is speaking at a symposium at Hedgeman University one
- 34:05Speaker 1: day when a mysterious figure enters and tells him he
- 34:08Speaker 1: has acquired his family's estate in lat Varia. While he
- 34:11Speaker 1: doesn't like to be associated with his family legacy of
- 34:14Speaker 1: mad science, Read leaves his then fiance Alicia Masters to
- 34:18Speaker 1: see what the ordeal is about. Upon reaching the estate
- 34:21Speaker 1: in Latviia, Reshorts meets a beautiful blonde named Susan and
- 34:24Speaker 1: her brother, who introduces himself as John. I see. He
- 34:27Speaker 1: thinks he's being clever picking on Reshorts his pronunciation of
- 34:30Speaker 1: his name, but really he's just being kind of annoying.
- 34:33Speaker 1: These two are the Storm siblings, who are the assistance
- 34:35Speaker 1: of the previous inhabitant, Nathaniel Richards Read, is so enamored
- 34:39Speaker 1: by Susan that he doesn't even notice as the caretaker
- 34:42Speaker 1: of the estate, Frau Evelyn Blucker, steps up behind him
- 34:45Speaker 1: and offers to show him to his room. When he
- 34:48Speaker 1: turns back to invite Susan to dinner, she's gone, foreshadowing
- 34:54Speaker 1: that evening. As Reshorts explores the estate, he happens upon
- 34:56Speaker 1: a staircase leading to the basement, whereupon he finds the
- 34:59Speaker 1: Storms siblings standing over a corpse in a lab as
- 35:03Speaker 1: fraud Evelyn Blueger is about to put a brain into
- 35:06Speaker 1: the corpse. Oh yeah, there's also a lab horse. Every
- 35:09Speaker 1: respectable at Varian Lab has one. Uh. The name on
- 35:13Speaker 1: the jar holding the brain is a ben normal Uh.
- 35:17Speaker 1: Reshorts a surpride and yells out fraud Blucker's name, which
- 35:20Speaker 1: startles a horse, who kicks the re animation machine, showering
- 35:23Speaker 1: all of the inhabitants in the room with radiation. As
- 35:27Speaker 1: Fraud places of brain in the corpse. All of a sudden,
- 35:29Speaker 1: the corpses alive, but he has melted with the stone
- 35:31Speaker 1: slab he was laying on to gain a stone skin.
- 35:34Speaker 1: Susan is gone, but Reshorts can hear her yelling, and
- 35:37Speaker 1: John I accidentally ignites, scaring the grim monster thing away.
- 35:41Speaker 1: Reshorts reaches for the door, realizing he doesn't need to
- 35:44Speaker 1: move his feet to do so, but his stretchy arm
- 35:46Speaker 1: reaches the door too late. Only Fraud Bluecher is not
- 35:48Speaker 1: affected by the radiation, having assisted her loved, beloved Nathaniel
- 35:52Speaker 1: for so many years that she had become immune to
- 35:55Speaker 1: it all. Did you do? Insites the local authority, Inspector
- 35:59Speaker 1: von Due him, a man with one good eye, a
- 36:01Speaker 1: metal mask, and a metal arm, to come question Reshorts. However,
- 36:04Speaker 1: all Reshorts can make out about what Inspector Doom is
- 36:08Speaker 1: saying is that there's a monster and if he finds them,
- 36:12Speaker 1: he will end him. You see, his mask is muffling
- 36:14Speaker 1: too much of the other words he's saying for Reshorts
- 36:16Speaker 1: to even understand it. Uh. Now the three and Frau
- 36:19Speaker 1: must find this thing. Thankfully, ab Normal was actually the
- 36:24Speaker 1: love child of Nathaniel and Frau Evelyn Blue Hurt, and
- 36:27Speaker 1: she knows just how to find him with his childhood
- 36:31Speaker 1: love with pizza. There's only one pizza joint in life area,
- 36:34Speaker 1: and tonight is open mic night. When they get there,
- 36:37Speaker 1: they find the grim Thing doing stand up and enjoying
- 36:39Speaker 1: his slice. They know they must protect him, being so
- 36:44Speaker 1: unique and clever, so they bring him back to the
- 36:47Speaker 1: estate just as reads fiance Alicia shows up. She sees
- 36:51Speaker 1: the Thing, but instead of being frightened, falls in love
- 36:54Speaker 1: with him, which is okay because Reshorts is kind of
- 36:56Speaker 1: actually got a thing for Susan. And as we pan
- 36:59Speaker 1: out from the the estate, we see John i Storm
- 37:02Speaker 1: hiding worldly behind a horse as Frau Evelyn Bluegert searches
- 37:05Speaker 1: him for him longingly because she's also a bit of
- 37:07Speaker 1: a pyromaniac. I like that. There seemed to be some
- 37:13Speaker 1: references to the the the the original Fantastic Four film
- 37:19Speaker 1: by that Roger Corman produced that was never released specifically
- 37:24Speaker 1: for you, Jonathan, because you can't understand doom in that version.
- 37:29Speaker 1: All right, Well, here here's mine. Um the title will
- 37:32Speaker 1: become u into it later. We open in the Baxter
- 37:37Speaker 1: Building as the Fantastic Four's headquarters. The Fantastic Four are
- 37:41Speaker 1: an established team at this point, having had many adventures
- 37:44Speaker 1: under their collective belts. Read and Sue Richards are the
- 37:48Speaker 1: proud parents of a young boy named Franklin, who has
- 37:51Speaker 1: impressive powers of his own are heroes receive a distress
- 37:54Speaker 1: call they must immediately head off to Latin Veria to
- 37:57Speaker 1: battle the nefarious Dr Doom. Little Franklin is left behind
- 38:01Speaker 1: in the care of others. The next morning, his caretakers
- 38:04Speaker 1: are glued to the television, watching reports that Doom, the
- 38:08Speaker 1: Fantastic Four, and indeed all of Latin Veria have disappeared.
- 38:13Speaker 1: The scene dissolves and we see a title card saying
- 38:16Speaker 1: twenty five years later, Franklin is an adult now giving
- 38:20Speaker 1: a lecture at our prestigious university. He's an expert in
- 38:23Speaker 1: linguistics in history, and it's clearly attempting to suppress his
- 38:27Speaker 1: past and his own superpowers. While giving the lecture, one
- 38:30Speaker 1: determined student keeps asking Franklin about his famous parents, Mr.
- 38:34Speaker 1: Fantastic and the Invisible Woman, and his famous uncle, the
- 38:37Speaker 1: Human Torch, and also that big rocky dude known as
- 38:40Speaker 1: the Thing. Franklin attempts to dismiss the questions with humor,
- 38:44Speaker 1: but the student persists, and in a moment of temper,
- 38:47Speaker 1: Franklin uses his reality bending superpowers to turn the student
- 38:50Speaker 1: into a Jack in the box. Class dismissed, he says
- 38:56Speaker 1: after his lecture, an old man who had been sitting
- 38:59Speaker 1: in on the lecture comes forward, revealing himself to be
- 39:02Speaker 1: a messenger from lat Veria. He explains that without any warning,
- 39:05Speaker 1: the entire nation that had disappeared is back. Much of
- 39:09Speaker 1: it is in ruins, but not all of it, and
- 39:11Speaker 1: that Franklin in particular is urged to go there to
- 39:15Speaker 1: claim his birthright, though the old man doesn't have much
- 39:18Speaker 1: information about what exactly that is. Franklin, overcome with anxiety,
- 39:22Speaker 1: makes arrangements to travel to lat Varia right away. Arriving
- 39:26Speaker 1: by train at the station, he has greeted by the
- 39:28Speaker 1: humanoid experimental robot B type Integrated Electronics or Herbie, though
- 39:34Speaker 1: it's pronounced her By. According to the robot, her By
- 39:38Speaker 1: and Franklin traveled to an old, abandoned castle used to
- 39:41Speaker 1: be doctor dooms Layer, but now it's practically unoccupied as
- 39:44Speaker 1: Doom in the Fantastic Four have not reappeared. Along the way,
- 39:49Speaker 1: Franklin and her By encounter a young woman named Inga Summers,
- 39:53Speaker 1: who was given instructions to help assist Franklin in any way. Oh,
- 39:56Speaker 1: and I mentioned that Doom's castle was practically unoccupied, but
- 40:00Speaker 1: no there is one person there, Fraud Bluecher, who is
- 40:03Speaker 1: secretly Cynthia von Doom, dr Doom's mother played by Cloris Leachman.
- 40:08Speaker 1: Of course, at the castle, Franklin spends time exploring, attempting
- 40:12Speaker 1: to find any signs of what happened to the Fantastic Four.
- 40:15Speaker 1: Bluecher tries to embrace him to encourage him to embrace
- 40:19Speaker 1: his superpowers, but Franklin resists, unwilling to acknowledge that this
- 40:23Speaker 1: is in fact his birthright. What follows is an adventure
- 40:27Speaker 1: in which Franklin tries to make his own robot without
- 40:30Speaker 1: the use of his superpowers. He builds a robotic human Torch,
- 40:34Speaker 1: which just goes around, insisting that no, he's the real
- 40:38Speaker 1: original human Torch and Johnny Storm was the second human Torch.
- 40:42Speaker 1: You just gotta buy the comics to find out that
- 40:44Speaker 1: the original human Torch was a robot, but Franklin points
- 40:47Speaker 1: out that if you are a robot, you aren't a
- 40:50Speaker 1: human Torch. You're a robot Torch, and that goes poorly.
- 40:54Speaker 1: Next thing you know, the robot human Torches rampaging through
- 40:57Speaker 1: the countryside. Franklin and team how to lure the robot back,
- 41:01Speaker 1: insisting that it's not evil it's just misdirected. Franklin is
- 41:06Speaker 1: able to coax the robotic human Torch back to the
- 41:09Speaker 1: castle with promises of a special october Fest celebration, knowing
- 41:13Speaker 1: that the robot is particularly fond of oompop bands, and
- 41:17Speaker 1: so Franklin inga Summers and Herby play Polka, luring the
- 41:21Speaker 1: human Torch robot back to the castle. In the process,
- 41:25Speaker 1: the robot discovers a hidden compartment in the castle, and
- 41:28Speaker 1: in it is a special German beer mug. Emblazoned on
- 41:32Speaker 1: it are the Fantastic Four and on the bottom of
- 41:35Speaker 1: the mug it's a message to Franklin with love from
- 41:38Speaker 1: mom and dad. And then it happens. We finally smash
- 41:41Speaker 1: cut to the title of the movie. Young Franklin Stein
- 41:45Speaker 1: cut to end credits post credit scene. I guess the
- 41:48Speaker 1: Fantastic Four and Doom show up or something. I don't know.
- 41:53Speaker 1: I you saw where it was going. I did, and
- 41:58Speaker 1: I'm I'm I don't know whether to say thank you
- 42:02Speaker 1: or I'm so sorry. Um, Young Franklin Stein. Yeah, yeah,
- 42:07Speaker 1: we got it. Because it's a German beer mug. You see,
- 42:13Speaker 1: his name is Franklin. Okay, okay, So if any of
