it's me Mario it's Chris Pratt it's a you Christopher Pratt it's me
0:06
starlord welcome to multiple
0:09
nerdgasm with your hosts Matt Luke and
0:14
Dan multiple nerdgasm your guide to All
0:19
Things nerdy Chris Pratt will not be doing
0:25
that he won't be doing that he won't be doing that I thought he was playing
0:29
Mario what voice is he gonna do I'm confused he is playing Mario but without
0:34
an Italian accent he can't just do his own voice that's gonna be weird too
0:39
evidently people have heard it and said it works
0:44
but I love the idea that Chris Pratt's got some [ __ ] thing in his back
0:48
pocket where he's like one day I'm going to do this and people are going to be
0:52
like that's what Mario should sound like what is Chris Pratt gonna
0:57
do that they I think just GNA be Chris Pratt or he's going to be The Lego Movie
1:02
guy yeah it's going be what's his Lego Movie voice uh Chris Pratt right okay
1:09
yeah I mean there was a Mario Brothers movie and the Mario brothers were played
1:12
by Bob Hoskins a [ __ ] he did an amazing
1:15
job a cockney Guy and um Mexican yeah
1:20
right I think what's his name closer but not Italian I'm still trying to work out
1:24
why people are getting excited and still talking about the Mario movie the second
1:28
I found out it was animated my care Factor stopped John Leguizamo that's it
1:34
something like that he's American [Music] Dan okay I mean his name makes him sound
1:40
a little bit foreign but I take your point Matt I do apologize to all Latino Americans
1:46
listening but but everyone's talking about Chris Pratt not doing an Italian
1:50
accent but is Charlie Day GNA do an Italian accent as Luigi well if they're
1:54
Brothers aren't they sort of going to have to sort of sound the same Chris
1:57
Bratt and Char are brothers same accent Charlie day I mean he's only one step
2:02
down from Bobcat go weight really I was gonna
2:07
say you don't get Charlie day if you want it to not sound like Charlie Day
2:12
something I would imagine exactly yeah yeah he's very distinct although there
2:16
are different levels of Charlie day I feel like he's fairly recognizable
2:22
though has he done voice acting before I don't know that he has I mean I don't
2:25
know him from he was in he's in Always Sunny obviously he's in Pacific Rim what
2:30
else is Charlie day he was in that band
2:34
he was in that band movie by uh Louis CK where Louis CK tries to have sex with
2:39
his daughter's friends he was in fist fight he was in and he played pretty
2:45
much version of Charlie Day in that movie I'm not not poo pooing Charlie Day
2:49
I love Charlie day but he's got a niche he certainly does in a good way he
2:54
was he was the best thing about Pacific Rim if you ask me that was a great movie
2:59
I it was a great movie you could like it all you want it's not a great movie big
3:04
robots fighting big monsters yeah see that sounds good that
3:09
sounds very good and yet somehow it wasn't even the music I love the
3:14
music I purchased both of them I want them to make the third one I left to go
3:19
to the bathroom during that movie and really had to force myself to go back
3:24
in to the bathroom yeah there's a lot going on in here
3:30
after what i' done in there earlier I really had to force myself all right so
3:34
I I honestly I just can't wait to see what the [ __ ] this movie
3:38
is I I'm still just going I have no interest and I'm not going to see this
3:42
movie you are going to see it 100 you're going to see it everyone's making a big
3:46
fuss about this my guess is that it's not going to be that interesting it's
3:49
going to be Chris Pratt doing his voice he's just going to be talking and it'll
3:53
be Mario you're probably right luk there probably something that's going to be
3:58
straight to Netflix yeah like I was excited when I thought it was going to
4:01
be like a live action movie but second I found it animated just interest gone
4:06
yeah and we probably not the target audience for it oh we should be no we
4:10
shouldn't be it's we're not the target audience for anything anymore we're over
4:15
40 now yeah just just hurry up and die and let the the youth get what they want
4:21
I think Dune with the target audience for oh perhaps yeah yeah and maybe
4:26
really gots two new TV shows yeah I got called an old man today by qu
4:32
because I referred to the ballustrade alongside our stairs and she's like
4:38
ballustrade how old are you wait what is it called yeah sorry I'm siding with her
4:43
on that what do the kids call them um the railing I think we decided probably
4:49
they just just never it rarely comes up just refer to the whole thing as just
4:55
the St stairs see we're a year older this see I can
5:02
tell that Matt agrees with me and it's because we're the same age and Luke
5:05
while only a year younger I think still that year is still making a difference
5:10
at this stage yeah but he he longs to be younger he like he's I mean listeners if you can
5:16
see him right now he's got pink hair and he's drinking a Mountain
5:21
Dew anything he can do to appear younger luk I'm
5:28
trying so yeah you did mention Ridley Scott
5:33
there's a few Ridley Scott pieces in use this week one of them is yes two new TV
5:37
shows uh I don't know how involved he is I I should be more excited about both of
5:42
these TV shows than I am but yeah but uh hit and miss these
5:47
days I think it's time for him to retire honestly his name Beyond stuff and then
5:53
just walk away I'm I'm interested in seeing the last duel I'll watch that I
5:57
have literally no interest in the other movie he's got coming out right now
6:02
literally none what's the last jeel last jewel is a it's a historical film about
6:07
yeah it's a prequel to the Goodwill Hunting as far as I can tell boring
6:12
woman gets accused of rape sorry woman accuses a a lord of rape or raping her
6:17
or something like that and then her husband uncharacteristically for the
6:21
time says I believe you actually I believe he did rape you cuz back then
6:25
usually people just used to go now she wanted it and then yeah she probably did
6:30
yeah yeah yeah and if she didn't witch burner yeah that's right so
6:34
uncharacteristically the guy believed her and then challenged the guy to a
6:37
jewel that's what it's about interesting yeah which is one of the things that's
6:42
working against it I mean it's a true story it's historical fiction
6:48
um of course Ridley doesn't want to admit that that's why no one went and
6:52
saw it it made less than $20,000 off $100 million sorry less than $20 million
6:57
off a $100 million budget yeah um but
7:00
have you heard um why he thinks that is
7:05
phones yeah phones who does who does who does the
7:10
best rley Scott voice out of all of us M to you do do
7:16
I I think you do quite quite a good Really Scott it's been a while I think
7:21
what it boils down to what we've got today are the audiences that were
7:25
brought up on these [ __ ] cell phones the Millennials don't even want to be
7:29
anything let it's told them on a cell phone you know I think what we're
7:32
dealing with right now is Facebook um what did they being Tau in
7:38
his movie well he I'm not sure Millennials are the target audience for
7:43
this historical fiction about I think he's a target audience for this I I
7:49
think Ridley Scott forgotten that there's a [ __ ] pandemic on for
7:52
starters and you really really got to convince people to go see a movie right
7:56
now right and no offense to him the last duel I think it looks pretty cool but even to
8:03
me go to the movies I'm excited to watch it I'm not going to go to the movies and
8:07
watch it yeah I'll watch it when when I can I think it's just the case of these
8:12
like these people who've made movies for so long that they still see the cinema
8:16
as something else whereas what the world sees now is that's where you go and
8:19
watch your fun stuff fight stuff blows up stuff and then the stuff where you
8:24
want to think and sit down and watch a movie instead of experiencing it is you
8:30
watch on television yeah yeah yeah I have no faith that reallyy Scott knows
8:34
why his movies are or aren't successful anymore because he said this nonsense
8:38
about was alien Covenant and Prometheus where he he said something about that
8:44
that no one cares about the alien anymore I made Prometheus people said
8:49
the alien wasn't in it so I made a movie and put the alien in it only an aliens
8:54
yeah it's like it's not you can't just put the alien in it wasn't the alien you
8:59
missed the bark like what people got excited for at the end of Prometheus was
9:03
this story about going to find the makers and all this stuff yeah all the
9:07
creators and then you just glanced over no don't worry about that new alien he
9:13
doesn't he doesn't get it anymore it's alien again but in on land I don't
9:17
understand I put the alien in this movie and people still didn't like it that's
9:21
all you wanted yeah lar is he's on the screen right now what's the problem like
9:26
that's I don't I don't he's killing dozens of unnamed
9:31
characters I just I don't know what's happened to I think it's time that he
9:34
just retires yeah well his other movie is called House of Gucci and it's also
9:39
true story oh that yeah I actually forgot that was his but yeah that's with
9:44
uh Lady Gaga mhm and Jared is he hands hands on with these or is he like with
9:51
Lady Gaga I hope not no I would love it I would love it
9:57
if Ridley came out and was like a [ __ ]
10:01
yeah I [ __ ] over a thousand women at this point my career yeah let's just say
10:07
she kept her Poker Face on while I [ __ ]
10:13
her he known for his his little on
10:17
liners he's going to say for [ __ ] pop
10:22
stars who has Ridley Scott [ __ ] I bet at least back in the day now I mean he's
10:27
been married for a million years he had um He Had a Wife and Kids when he made
10:31
his first film I mean no no offense he's a bit oddl looking is he yeah but I mean
10:36
he's very he's very charismatic he's very confident yeah that's fair that's
10:42
doesn't lack for confidence for sure yeah but he reminds me of of uh David
10:47
Lynch in this in this most recent ter with David Lynch is you're going to
10:52
watch a movie on your [ __ ] cell phone yeah yeah but it's a different type of
10:58
like old man because David Lynch thinks we're all watching movies on we're just
11:02
sitting around watching movies on our cell the fact that that yeah exactly he
11:08
was just and Ridley thinks that just we're all on Facebook instead of going
11:11
to the movies no we're all going to see Shen XI instead of what the last jeel or
11:16
whatever I watched Changi finally this week oh yeah you watch that exent movie
11:21
yeah [ __ ] awesome that's what that's one of my top Marvel movies at this
11:24
point it's it's up there with any of them I tell you what I liked one one and
11:29
and I noted this and I was like I like that some small spoilers I guess there's
11:35
like a battle but it's not like a million people in it it's not like yeah
11:39
yeah like five or six cars pull up and the guys get out and then they all have
11:43
have a fight and it was it was [ __ ] great and engaging and it wasn't just
11:47
overwhelming schlock really enjoyed it and there was no big blue sky Beam not
11:53
anywhere in the movie that's true good point yeah great movie but the steak
11:58
still felt really
12:36
[Music]
12:59
why is it looking at [Laughter]
13:03
me so funny so good yeah he was excellent he was absolutely excellent no
13:09
they need to make another one of that I'll happily see a sequel to that or
13:12
just more of those characters Absolut you know who just to tie this all back
13:16
you know who doesn't like the Marvel movies Ridley Scott Ridley Scott
13:21
surprise me yeah the only one he likes is Joker and I do like Joker I thought
13:26
that was it I wouldn't call that a superhero movie yeah yeah and not just
13:31
because the joke is like the bad guy I just it's not it's not that same tone
13:36
yeah no uh Ridley has said that the Marvel movies are and I quote [ __ ]
13:41
boring as [ __ ] don't watch them yeah
13:45
that's not true yeah but he's also he also goes on to say this the scripts are
13:50
no [ __ ] good I've done three great scripted superhero movies alien
13:56
Gladiator and Blade Runner h not sure
14:00
any of those are superhero movies I there's this trend of oldie oldie timey
14:06
not oldie timey but you know what I mean older filmmakers poo pooing the Marvel
14:11
movies cuz I think they just don't get it and that's why but they're not boring
14:15
Gridley come on mate like they're just they're different if you don't like it
14:19
that's fine but come on you talk out your ass but here's the thing Hollywood
14:24
has always been about spectacle like it's not like these are the first ever
14:29
Blockbusters and in fact if anything these are the first ones in a long time
14:33
that are consistently good as James there's a couple AR said
14:38
anything bad about Marvel movies because I feel like he he probably gets them
14:42
yeah probably but I he's probably underwater he's all about this [ __ ] if
14:45
you look at like especially with the Marvel all these different movies with
14:50
all the story tying into each other and then feeding off and leading into the
14:54
next one like that's a h you struggled with PR
15:00
alen Covenant yeah you left one out two movies yeah he doesn't know a goddamn
15:06
thing about any of that Luke I guarantee it yeah and then they hired alen Dean
15:10
Foster to write the book that came in between and it was just about the people
15:14
barding the ship ready to go to the [ __ ] planet oh so still not the story
15:20
we yeah it's called alien Covenant Origins and I'm like finally no it's
15:25
about the people getting ready to get on the Covenant
15:30
what I'm like anytime now anytime now I'm in the last chapter going I'm not
15:33
going to get this story am I I just don't get it some
15:39
reason yeah look joke is good uh I mean if he doesn't like him that's fine I
15:45
just what is it why do you have to come out and like make these ridiculous
15:48
statements like why can't you just say I'm not they're not not for me like no
15:53
to which Kevin to which Kevin figy might reply yeah we don't make them for guys
15:58
pushing 80 years old right but you know come out and go
16:05
that's [ __ ] Bor hor shit's garbage nothing good about it like you sound
16:09
like a fool yeah yeah so I just yeah the cinema has just moved on and it's time
16:14
for you to accept that fact and either grow with it yes or or be satisfied that
16:21
he wants to make movies like the last Jewel and that a handful of people are
16:25
going to watch them and probably really like them cuz I'm sure it's he knows how
16:28
to make [ __ ] movie so I'm sure it's going to be good but he's going to have
16:32
to make them on smaller budgets because they're not going to make the hundreds
16:35
of millions of dollars that the Marvel and maybe get away from it has to be on
16:39
the big screen and understand that people are watching stuff at home and
16:44
people's home setups aren't like they used to be yeah I can like because I I feel
16:51
like you know Dune right on the big screen is amazing and I feel like it
16:58
wouldn't have been what it was if they hadn't been thinking about putting it on
17:01
the big screen you know what I mean like you think about it differently yeah but the last
17:06
jeel I started watching the foundation
17:10
today I've watched only one episode and it is seen one as well as beautiful and
17:17
epic as any feature sci-fi film I've ever seen that's a very good point yeah
17:21
that's and it was always intended to be watched television you can actually get
17:28
you can focus us more on story because you're not sort of contained to that
17:31
hour and a half 2 hours you can actually go oh sorry we need 4 hours so we'll
17:35
split this up or we need 10 hours and you got this time to to do something
17:40
instead of well that brings us full circle to what we started with which is
17:43
his new TV shows he's announced maybe maybe maybe he gets it
17:48
probably did we say what they were no
17:50
alien and Blade Runner and getting TV
17:55
now there's been a lot of Alien films
17:59
and not all of them have been good um a lot of them have been
18:05
but some of them I like the others don't that's
18:09
fine I would agree with that yeah yeah
18:14
um I don't know where in the timeline this is going
18:20
to be set well the timeline doesn't actually make any sense
18:25
anyway true yeah plus I assume this is only to be related to the ones that
18:31
he right is championing because to him the only ones that are Canon are alien
18:36
and his two prequels yeah Prometheus and
18:40
alien c yeah yeah so this will probably
18:44
be about some boring aspect of the alien movies not the there will definitely be
18:50
aliens in them we'll know that imagine they announc that the alien TV series
18:53
actually it's about uh Nim Race's character and uh and David as a they
18:59
head off it's actually 10 10 hours of that to to Prometheus we're doing a
19:06
reset alen imagine they announce that yeah and then the Blade Runner TV
19:11
series I don't know what that's going to be I know there's an anime one actually
19:15
out that I'm interested to watch it's out at the moment and I've I've uh I've
19:19
looked at it but I I haven't watched it see to me it could actually work if oh
19:23
absolutely you if you especially if you go back to like the the era of the
19:27
original blade run yeah and just out there doing their job
19:32
yeah exactly there's plenty of stories you could tell in that world for
19:37
sure I I'm probably looking more forward to that one more than I am the alien one
19:42
yeah also if you're listening really you might be or whoever whoever's the
19:47
showrunner on this right it doesn't have to just be the same story The Blade
19:50
Runner the movie but in a TV show just putting that out there you can borrow
19:55
little bits and pieces make him like Lauren older s foru and Blade Runner
19:59
combined that would be great [ __ ] episodic seral [ __ ] Blade Runner Show
20:06
I'd watch that I watched the hell out of that just every episode he's got to
20:09
track down another replicant make shows like done some other crazy crime yeah
20:15
like like like Buffy kind of Angel you know episodic where yeah you can skip a
20:21
few episodes and still they make those anymore not missing out on anything
20:24
those kind of shows they don't need to make those and the reason is because
20:28
they used to have to make TV series like that because if you didn't watch them
20:32
you were [ __ ] but now you can just watch them anytime but evidently in the
20:37
new Star Trek one the one they're making of the Enterprise strange new worlds
20:42
strange new worlds that's meant to be going back to that I will watch that I
20:45
will check that out this time we're on this planet and this crazy stuff's
20:49
happening and next week we're on that planet type of thing and it's got Pike
20:51
in it right that guy's playing Pike yep okay he's good just to tie this back to
20:58
even something with were talking about off air before we hit
21:01
record Foundation the first episode was directed by rert Sanders who directed
21:07
the liveaction trailer for Halo ODST oh is that true I didn't know that
21:14
huh I'm going to have to watch Foundation excellent so far it's very
21:21
good and yeah like he said it's beautiful like just Grand epic Scion I
21:27
tried to watch Wheel of time and full disclosure I I didn't like the books but
21:33
I thought maybe they were going to do something interesting with the series uh
21:37
but no they didn't it it looks like a bunch of really beautiful models in
21:43
Cosplay standing outside and trying to reenact a fantasy scenario really okay
21:50
yeah they were hoping this was going to be the excited the new Game of Thrones
21:54
they're wrong I've been watching the the Dexter oh new season to the new so far
22:00
it's good new it's familiar you know yeah it's good it's a good follow on I
22:04
think so far if this is like a having another girl wrapping everything up I'm
22:10
I'm okay with it it's okay certainly I mean it's yeah it's good so
22:15
far hard to say I guess cuz it's only three Dexter at its best was excellent
22:22
yeah I it's different obviously they're lying for the fact that it's been was it
22:25
10 years or whatever mhm you know he's older stuff happens that's related to
22:31
the fact that it's been 10 years so it's good there's a couple of those Matt did
22:35
you watch the Deadwood movie no I've got to watch that the Deadwood movie was
22:40
very good but it's disappointing because it it's also it's been 10 years since
22:45
the last episode of Deadwood here's a movie that's just like another episode
22:49
of the series except after 2 hours it stops cuz a movie is only 2 hours long
22:54
and you're like why is this a movie why isn't this just the start of the you
22:58
knowas of dewood and also due to having trouble getting people to come back
23:05
because it yeah I think I think you're right but also I mean there was probably
23:09
a reason why it was canceled in the first place I mean it was an amazing
23:12
show but I don't think it had a huge broad appeal but the other one that I watched
23:17
recently actually it's it's a prequel I watched the many Saints of Newar which
23:22
is the prequel series to The Sopranos oh okay that no one was asking
23:28
for The Sopranos is is excellent and if you if you don't watch it because you
23:34
don't like things about gangsters it's it's it's much more than that I hate
23:39
Italians I hate [Laughter] them I'm kidding obviously mhm but that
23:45
wasn't what the show was about was it like that was about him dealing with no
23:49
it it it's just wasn't about him just being Italian
23:54
um it start yeah
23:58
yeah as James gandini no it's it's about what if what
24:05
if the what if the head of the mafia was suffering from anxiety and had to go to
24:11
therapy and and was telling his therapist everything and uh was kind
24:17
of having to reflect on who he was and how he was as a father and a role mold
24:23
to his kids and all of these things it it was very good very top tier drama
24:28
yeah but this movie was like why why
24:33
bother well this Dexter is like I think it it benefits a bit from I think the
24:37
fact that it has been a while so that it can because it feels very familiar so
24:42
they're kind of relying on the Nostalgia a bit I don't want to spoil anything but
24:46
obviously he's we know that he moved to a little town CU you saw that at the end
24:49
of previous one and you've seen the trailer so he's moved to this little
24:52
town and uh and you've been in that little town I have I have been to that
24:57
town yeah actually I've got some photos of of where he and Clancy Brown had a
25:00
little interaction the other day in the show oh Clancy Brown very nice yeah
25:05
Clancy Brown's in this and so basically it's it's he's he's moved away he's
25:10
changed his name he's living in this little town and some stuff starts to
25:15
catch up with him that's basically what it's about and then he creates some
25:19
problems for himself cuz it's been a long time and he's sloppy okay that does
25:24
sound good that does sound good yeah I probably still won't watch it have you
25:28
watched any of the other Dexter no no probably don't then the problem with
25:32
Dexter is that all the great characters
25:36
can't come back yes because they're all dead
25:41
yeah exactly they kill off characters like it's going out of sty you know yeah
25:47
I honestly I feel like maybe it might like it Luke I don't know it might be a
25:52
bit dark fire no it's not the dark part
25:57
too much start if you watch watch yeah
26:01
first four seasons brilliant and then after that if you still like it keep
26:06
watching it was all right just yeah but season season three was I think was
26:12
Jimmy Smith's right season three Miguel great and then they topped it
26:19
even with season four with um John litho John lith go yeah the Trinity Killer
26:24
[ __ ] [ __ ] so good this one of those examples of a show where you already
26:30
like it and then in the like four years in they're like oh you think this is
26:34
good well [ __ ] cop this well actually it was just Thanksgiving here and uh
26:39
that's that's my favorite episode is that Thanksgiving episode of Season 4
26:44
John litho [ __ ] hell terrifying man speaking of another show that I
26:51
started watching more as a guilty pleasure than anything else but that
26:54
actually got really good as it went on is Dan Brown to the
26:59
symbol really yeah so I I like Dan Brown's books I think you know he cops a
27:06
lot a lot of flat a lot of flat a lot of flack for just kind of being you know a
27:11
kind of Pulp author but actually I think his books are interesting and and Dan
27:17
Brown's obsessions which of of like kind of biblical symbology and classical art
27:23
and all this stuff is stuff I'm interested in so I like I like his books
27:26
and this um this book is basically just this series is an amalgam of just all
27:32
the cool stuff from all of his books just rolled all together into a series
27:36
but yeah just good good Adventure mystery doesn't take it self too
27:41
seriously yeah you know just cool stuff in a show yeah like Po poo Dan Brown
27:47
because like The Da Vinci Code was they were like oh it's just a bunch of stuff
27:50
that he smooshed together yeah yes it's fiction yeah yeah that's y he took a
27:55
bunch of of of non-fiction stuff and smush them together into a fictional
28:00
story and then like ju it up a bit people liked it yeah yeah also I don't
28:06
think Dan Brown gives a [ __ ] whether you whether you won versus he's not going to
28:11
climb down off of his pile of money to debate you on whether or not the book's
28:15
good or not yeah that's right if you want to read uh Holy Blood Holy Grail
28:19
instead go ahead tell you exactly drier than [ __ ] the DCI cat is it is it is
28:26
yeah that's right um and it's even questionable it's
28:33
incredibly question and it's not it's it's non-fiction in quotes you know what
28:38
I mean it's religious non-fiction so it relies on I mean we' have to go into it
28:42
but it's yeah it's old people in churches in Europe that say they've got
28:47
relics right yeah it leans on a lot of like myths and legends is not the right
28:52
word it's the right theme for what I mean but just stories I'm out yeah yeah
28:58
yeah yeah yeah yeah you don't like myths and legends no you don't like
29:04
pereus no no not at all no no not even in Clash of the Titans did you like that
29:10
movie I did when I was young I don't think I could watch it again now they
29:14
did remake percus and his name is Percy Jackson do you like that no is that true
29:19
or did you just make that up no that's true I found that out recently yeah
29:23
Percy Jackson is the story of persus correct huh is that the one that Eli
29:28
Roth directed that I was shocked to find out that he he's doing kids movies as
29:33
well now I don't know but I did watch Eli Roth's clocks in the walls or
29:37
whatever it is and was shocked that it was a kids comedy starring Jack Black
29:42
and not at all an Eli Roth grotesque horror
29:46
movie uh no I'm Wrong by the way Percy Jackson the first one was directed by
29:52
Chris Columbus who did The Mummy the Brennan Frasier mummy and um the good Harry Potter
29:59
movies and Home Alone did you know they remade Home
30:07
Alone know that yeah but the kid from uh no it's a complete remake it's the exact
30:12
story of Home Alone hang on did this guy that's not the new one then there's one that's on
30:17
Disney plus right now yeah that that's not a remake that's a that's a that's
30:22
different movie it's not robbers coming in it's no but it is it's it's but no no
30:27
it's it's not they're not but they're not robbers but they're still it's the
30:31
exact storyline but it's just a husband and wife breaking into his house yeah
30:35
it's just another hob load there's been lots of them hob load three and four yeah
30:42
there's been a lot of hob load movies Jesus did did this guy do the mummy did
30:46
I make that up cuz I'm looking at his his his filmography and he maybe didn't
30:50
so I'll retract my earlier statement where I said that he directed The
30:55
Mummy let me find out who directed The Mummy
31:00
Steven Summers Steven Summers Chris Columbus there you go that's the problem
31:04
alliterative names confuse me I guess Steven Summers is pretty much oh okay
31:10
van helling straight after the mummy and then nothing so that'll that'll do
31:17
it oh speaking of TV series there's not a lot of meat to this story but I think
31:22
it might as well mention it uh Amazon might be developing or want to develop a
31:27
mass effect TV series um this is a terrible idea and
31:31
they should not do it why is that well even a lot of the people who worked at
31:36
bware and the ride and stuff going like no because the whole thing about Mass
31:41
Effect is well even to start with are you having a if they're going to focus
31:45
on Shepherd are you having a male ship or a f ship my guess is that they W do
31:50
either a good ship bad ship it'll just be it'll be a new story set just in the
31:56
world I did not in any way assume they'd just be adapting the
32:01
games that's what that was what the way I thought that Luke might be right
32:05
actually I mean if you're if you're pitching something to a studio they're
32:08
going to go original story I don't know man isn't there already a story we can
32:14
do well I agree if it's just the game turned into a TV series like the same
32:20
story then no I I was thinking more just you know a TV series set in the world of
32:26
Mass Effect absolutely that's a great idea yeah but no they'll bring the
32:29
rapers in and well that's fine as well cuz that's part of the world as long as
32:34
it's yeah but I guess what I'm saying is no don't do command Comm out of Shepherd
32:39
cuz they could you have to stay away from shepher it could be a prequel they
32:43
could do us discovering the mass real having the wall having the wall with
32:50
yeah yeah that could be interesting that I could see but yeah I just for some
32:54
reason I just have a feeling they're going to try and take the easy route but
32:57
that also be a good a good in for people who haven't played the games too because
33:02
it wouldn't you wouldn't have to have any knowledge or that's a good point cuz
33:06
a lot of World building would have to happen but yeah have have the first Contact
33:12
walls I think that's what they were called yeah so I mean it could be good
33:17
imagine imagine they made it exactly like the games and and then the whole
33:21
first series was just them driving around in that little car that would be
33:26
amazing best part of all three games people are making a big deal about the fact that
33:32
it's Amazon making it like it actually doesn't really matter who's paying for
33:34
it it's it's the the individual like the team itself and
33:39
that shows man did uh well if you look
33:44
watch and now they now start selling that around I actually on stand now
33:50
they're doing the new expans too I mean all I'm saying is Amazon it's not Jeff
33:54
Bezos isn't going to direct the [ __ ] show going to pay a bunch of filmmakers
33:59
and if they get the right filmmakers it doesn't really matter who's paying for
34:02
it also if we're going to [ __ ] if we're going to get into it Jeff Bezos is
34:07
the most the person who's been into space the most out of anyone so you know
34:13
he's the most qualified that's true uh I so I don't count that one you don't
34:18
count I don't count the up and down stuff that that trip up to the stratosphere and back
34:24
yeah you got to go to the moon or something do you that's why when when um
34:29
William Shatner got to go up and he went on that one that one I just I don't I
34:33
don't count that one as going to space I like knowing that William sh went to
34:37
space he did go to space he did but that's just you go a big penis you go up
34:43
you come back down I think photo of him looking out the window with that that
34:48
look on his face all you should see um space denies and flat earthers are
34:53
saying that that's all fake because if it really
34:59
if we and did go to space he wouldn't just be sitting there looking out a
35:02
window he'd get his camera out and be taking photos like well I mean someone
35:07
is taking a picture of him there's a lot of there's a lot of photos of this big
35:11
fil why would you get your phone or a cam out and fi but when you could just
35:15
look out the window I'm I'm I don't know William Shatner but I'm pretty sure I
35:21
can safely say he's not the kind of guy just whips his [ __ ] iPhone out to
35:24
take photos of things like will like he's not a millennial
35:28
no I also hope just cuz I'm I like the
35:32
drama I hope like elong or someone else takes George Decay like higher up into
35:38
space well does the one that does the that goes around yeah just because shat
35:43
would [ __ ] hate that he'd say he doesn't though yeah
35:47
William just so George te could look out the window and go oh
35:51
my did they shoot Leonard nemoy into space like they did to spar I think they
35:56
did didn't they I was joking did they they shot Hunter Thompson up in a
36:03
rocket I they de paid for that mhm but I mean that didn't go into space it just
36:08
went up above Johnny Deb's property and now it smashed into someone's
36:13
house Luke yes this is probably not in your wheelhouse but have you played
36:20
Battlefield 2042 I have I played I think like three
36:25
games of it and then uninstalled it m cuz it was garbage I was going to say I
36:29
mean what you thought was implied in what you just said but I am I just
36:32
wanted to nail that down what did you think of it look I knew I wasn't going
36:36
to love the game and I was just happy that I got like with uh Game Pass I got
36:41
like a 10-hour trial cuz multiplayer only you try and grab as many
36:46
achievements you could and then run away look I mean a it's not the kind of game
36:49
you would likely pay much attention to anyway but even as getting achievements
36:54
and sometimes it can be a bit of fun throwing in a game playing a bit of
36:57
multiplayer but this was just terrible it was felt slow okay you're not the only one who
37:04
thinks and no it's got some bugs
37:09
apparently and I'm sort of you can't for a game that's completely multiplayer you
37:14
can't release it with multiplayer being that buggy yeah yeah like if you had
37:20
like the single player component as well and you had the multiplayer you can go
37:24
multiplayer it's a bit buggy but we're working on that you still got your
37:26
single player but no not they they screwed themselves on this video game
37:32
Dunkey did a great little uh uh he combined the the trailer footage with
37:38
actual footage from the game it's very funny yeah it's very
37:45
different yeah so this is uh one of the worst reviewed games on Steam currently
37:51
because when it's this high-profile a title you can't really afford to screw
37:56
it up as badly is this apparently has been screwed up yeah and it's sort of weird like I
38:03
don't understand why they didn't hold off and releasing this going like we're
38:07
not ready I mean you could say that about just about any game that's come
38:11
out in the last year yeah no but they're starting to hold back on games like
38:15
Halo's done it and they've just released a multiplayer for that and that's people
38:19
are loving it yeah I've heard that's quite good it's a throwback sort of with some
38:25
new stuff I've not played that obviously cuz it's Halo and I don't care about
38:30
Halo which I do a little bit you you've always been a Hal I always have been but
38:36
this might be the last Battlefield game we see for a while yeah they'll
38:39
definitely try and polish them more well probably not actually it's EA get it out the
38:46
door yeah I still just I mean you say that's not just EA man I mean CD project
38:51
red came out this week and we're like you know when when cyber Punk's finished
38:54
I think you're going to really love it yeah I people are actually it's actually
38:58
now finally got positive reviews after being out for a year [ __ ] great
39:05
game it's just yeah it's a great game and as I as I said even from the start
39:11
if they had have just not released it on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One yeah would
39:17
have been fine well I also think Luke you're right with your general theory
39:21
they should stop announcing games before they're ready like they should just shut
39:26
up about it and then just be like when it is ready then just hold a press
39:30
conference and go here's a game have a look it's coming out next week you don't
39:35
need to have the months of advertising for this stuff anymore yeah I I think
39:39
all of this boils down to the developers versus the the suits because I guarantee
39:45
it's the suits that said we should announce this game and build some hype
39:48
10 years ago whenever the [ __ ] cyber Punk was announced and then it was also
39:51
them that said uh let's just release it now it'll be fine yeah we're still going
39:55
to release it even though develop testers would have all been going this
40:00
game is unplayable you can though you begged us 8 years ago not to announce it
40:04
yet we did announce it and so now we have to release it now even though it's
40:08
not ready so yep that's just the way it is silly and that needs to stop like I
40:14
there's nothing wrong with announcing game a long time in advance but then I
40:17
think really need to get away from the like even a year beforehand going it's
40:22
going to release on this date it should very much be a we're ready second we are
40:27
ready then we announce it's coming out next week well we talked last week about
40:31
um how we couldn't really tell which ones were the before or after pictures
40:36
with the um GTA remastered and
40:40
uh so Rockstar have actually had to come out an issue an apology saying yeah we
40:46
know this are [ __ ] to me I I don't think there [ __ ] I think it comes down to
40:51
marketing really and the way people I think people thought they were getting a
40:56
remake mastered a remake yeah but it's not it's just smooth over they're
41:02
smoothed over and as I said they fixed
41:05
the controls the controls are very are
41:09
great and yeah like it's not it's still got issues and it's of course it's going
41:14
to have issues it's a game from what 20 years ago yeah but they thought it was
41:17
going to look like red dead 2o like yeah and that it's marketing yeah calling it
41:23
The remaster and oh they didn't they called it the defintive Edition yeah I
41:29
know but the Press is still calling it The remaster remaster and that's yeah
41:33
that's the problem people thought they were getting yeah no you're getting a
41:37
prettier game Reas yeah and you can actually play it again now yeah yeah
41:44
with some plaster over the bits that didn't look I'm actually
41:48
looking forward to I'm going to start playing Vice City this week which
41:51
is does that mean you finished three no I just just moving on it's not giving I
41:58
have never played all the way through a I think actually I could probably say oh
42:02
no that's not true Red Dead I did play through I was going to say a rockstar
42:05
game I've never played through a GTA game oh it's GTA 3 is just not forgiving
42:10
it's uh hi oh you you got to be you stop paying attention at the very end of this
42:15
Mission and you died oh okay go back to the start yeah there's no check points
42:21
or anything it's either you restart the entire Mission or you die lose all your
42:26
weapons and and do something else I don't think I've played through an
42:29
entire GTA either man I have played through an entire Rockstar game cuz I
42:33
played through the entire first Red Dead yeah same yeah I've played through every single
42:40
GTA some of them more than once I played all the red Deads I've played
42:45
bully yes oh bully so good RockStar at a
42:51
party at our house well everyone else was having a party Luke was just playing
42:57
Bully yeah I was having
43:02
fun [ __ ] mini games in Bully is why I stopped playing it yeah that's right
43:07
that that's what yeah I think you were trying to get past all the mini games
43:10
for us yeah not for me for Dan I never
43:14
played bully was bully was really fun they do need to make a sequel just stop
43:21
making GTA
43:23
5 I'm over GTA 5 speaking of remakes you
43:29
guys aware that there's footage of Jason mmoa as the
43:34
crow I knew he he'd like done something as the crow I they did screen test so
43:39
this is not like okay they're not they're not this is isn't in
43:43
production um but actually this and I would have said Jason mama is not your
43:49
guy this footage looks okay I think you're probably going he's
43:54
not your guy because of how he looks now mhm yeah yeah like he was a bit smaller
44:01
back then true 2016 is when they shot this stuff but also I'm just such a fan of
44:07
the original that I just can't see anyone other than Brandon Lee well
44:10
there's been quite a few people to play him have they've all
44:14
suck they've all suckong played him yeah but they're not they they haven't played
44:18
Eric Draven they haven't played the same character they've all just been cousins
44:22
and you know and they all merge into one for me yeah actually I've only SE the
44:27
first one the first one's the only one worth watching who was in the second
44:32
one Vincent who's the actor Vincent Perez yeah I remember the movie I just
44:37
that wasn't a bad movie it just wasn't
44:41
as good all right Mia kers is in it yeah
44:45
and Iggy Pop that's right Iggy Pop yeah another Crow I don't know do we need
44:51
them no we don't we need more crows we definitely don't need another Crow but
44:57
and we also don't need another Highlander and yet there is one but um
45:02
mhm evidently the last latest casting is it it's TV star and film
45:08
Enthusiast um [ __ ] I forget everyone's name the
45:13
[ __ ] Witcher Superman Henry C Henry
45:17
Cav what for the crow no for Highlander
45:21
Highlander oh oh okay I mean at least he's British he's not Scottish but he's Bri
45:28
he's not French he's not French and then have the most famous Scottish actor
45:33
playing a Spanish
45:38
Egyption Clancy Brown again as yeah good old Clancy Brown all right so I've read
45:44
this article a couple of times which article Tim Sweeny says the quiet part
45:48
out loud yes and it comes up after so Tim s so epic games they went out and
45:55
sued apple and goog over practices because they've got a
46:02
monopoly yes but now he saying there should be a monopoly that does it all
46:06
for everyone I don't know whether they C I don't know how exactly this came about
46:10
but yes so he was talking epic has been suing Apple and suing Google cuz they
46:15
you know they've got a strangle hold on their particular you know mobile
46:20
phone markets I guess you know what I mean and then so they're saying oh you
46:24
know we should be able to to sell our stuff sell our stuff on there but not
46:29
give them money or as much money yeah and then so then I don't know if he
46:35
actually meant to say this but what he said is right now software ownership is
46:38
fragmented between the IOS app store the Google Android play Marketplace
46:42
different stores on Xbox PlayStation Nintendo switch and then the Microsoft
46:45
store and the Mac App Store epic is working with developers and service
46:49
providers to create a system that would allow users to buy software in one place
46:53
knowing they'd have it on all devices and all platforms so he's not trying to
46:58
help anybody out the goal of all this is just to make them even bigger Monopoly
47:02
over everything the thing the thing about this with the whole thing of like
47:06
if you have that one store that then has to integrate with everything yes they're
47:11
going to charge more because it's more work because they have to make it
47:15
integrate across every Apple iPhone Xbox PlayStation all those different
47:20
operating systems so they're going to charge more and there's a reason for it
47:24
now but then also when they say they're working with developers developers don't
47:31
care true I want to sell this well they might care they might care now that they
47:36
now that said this and now everyone's like hang on a minute I thought you were
47:40
just trying to trying to open things up you just but you just want to make you
47:45
the the place working with service providers does he mean suing Apple and
47:50
Google cuz I wouldn't say that's working with
47:55
them but then he also he he he calls out Xbox PlayStation and the switch so
47:59
obviously now everyone's like wait so are you going to sue them as well is
48:04
that what this is you're going to sue all of them to try and make you the the the one
48:10
store I can sort of see what it is but you can't have the one
48:16
store yeah also a monopoly by definition you can't have two companies that are
48:21
both a monopoly that's not how that works but by having the one store that
48:27
everyone that's a monopoly so I don't know I maybe he misspoke but this
48:33
certainly sounds like he's he's accidentally revealed that they're kind
48:38
of just trying to get leverage to make themselves the the number one store for
48:44
everything the Amazon of digital content
48:47
in a way look I I I can understand like you want to buy something and you just
48:52
want to have it you don't want to have to I P it here now I want to play on
48:56
that watch I have to buy on another thing that I can sort of understand but
49:01
yeah that and he may not mean epic would be the only place I think maybe what he
49:07
means hopefully what he means is that you could just buy it on one of the
49:11
platforms and you'd get it on all of them regardless of where you bought it
49:14
you could still buy it from Microsoft directly you could buy it from Apple you
49:17
could buy it from Sony but you've got your license and then you can now watch
49:21
it on yeah kind of like you know that Movies Anywhere service that I've I've
49:26
mentioned before of you guys do you guys have it in Australia I don't not really
49:31
had for a couple things I think Microsoft's already starting to try that
49:35
like I can buy a movie or a television show on the Xbox and I can watch on
49:40
Windows like it's already sort of movies anywhere if as long as they're
49:45
participating some studios still don't participate but if I buy a movie on
49:50
iTunes I get it on everything so that's kind of so if he's talking about that
49:56
that's good if he's talking about you have epic then that's not good this
50:01
website daring fball he's a he's an apple Enthusiast John grba so he's
50:06
obviously he he's he's negative on the the whole epic and then also it could
50:11
actually be that that he's just cherry picking parts so of but it did make me
50:16
laugh that I don't know that Tim Sweeney either I don't know that he meant to say
50:20
that or did he meant for it to come out the way that it
50:23
did oh speaking of cuz remember last week week I was complaining about Star
50:28
Trek Discovery how par have now backflipped oh and gone for places
50:35
outside of America you can still watch it oh where oh still on plus oh on
50:41
Netflix okay Netflix I believe let me just double check that yeah I did read
50:46
somewhere that they were going to make it available outside of but I didn't
50:50
save the article cuz that would have made sense damn it I've made it very easy for
50:56
myself to to save articles now cuz otherwise I'd do the same thing I read a
51:00
thing and I go that's interesting and then I immediately forget about it so
51:04
I've I've got all these little shortcuts set up so that if I read something on my
51:07
phone I can go whoop and it sends it somewhere where I can collect them all
51:10
oh yeah it's on um yep I can now watch
51:13
on yeah Paramount plus okay which makes
51:18
even less sense now that they were able to do that it was scheduled to play on
51:23
Netflix here and then when it was Tak over by Paramount plus it was no longer
51:29
allowed to be shown on Netflix yeah which you would assume oh okay so it's
51:32
moving over to Paramount plus and they're like oh no it's it's also going
51:35
to be GEOS specific to the United States which is like okay well then why why is
51:40
all the LIC off CU they actually brought out the license cuz it was meant to be
51:45
on Star Tre it was still meant to be on there till next year but they Paramount
51:49
went out and paid paid money to go no you don't have the license
51:54
anymore and I thought it may have just been something where it was because they
51:58
paid out they still weren't allowed to show it on their platform till next year
52:02
or something which but no it's here I can watch the full episode right now I'm
52:07
going to watch it now well you should watch it and then go on I'll let you
52:10
know how it is it's first episode's 52 minutes okay well I we'll just pad this
52:16
podcast out for another 52 minutes and then you can give your review be great
52:19
wait the first episode's called Kobe Asim Maru yeah which is weird for season
52:23
4 episode 1 [ __ ] what are they doing especially when they're in the future
52:29
now well they're more in the future cuz yes Star Trek is set in the
52:35
future but then they went to the Future it's probably it's probably from the
52:39
future the episode will contain a no- win scenario of some sort and somebody
52:43
will try to undermine the scenario
52:47
somehow find a yeah and and turn the no
52:50
win scenario into a win scenario exactly they'll cheat that's what Captain k did
52:57
anyway I now want to go back and watch the Star Trek movies you should they're
53:01
fun yeah man they are yeah well the even number ones anyway we've got what two
53:07
nominees for Luke to consider for Geek of the week this week oh this one you

56:15
was time for him to retire listen
56:19
Ridley what again another threat yeah I mean this is going to be a tough
56:26
choice for you Luke um he was in all three Homewood bounds and that's what
56:32
I'm doing research did many animals die in that like they did in Milo and otus
56:38
did Bart the bear commit suicide that's um so there's a there's a
56:44
French movie called lont de Rivier
56:48
Rouge um where he plays now just just to
56:52
clarify almost all the credits are just the be except for this one which says
56:58
the bear attacking children and fighting withi
57:03
schwag so very specific yeah so there may been another bear that was to
57:09
Children went out drinking with in case you confused about which
57:14
bear he was he was the one attacking the children which
57:21
bear um I think I'm going to have to give it to Steven
57:26
oh all right bold Choice well well i' I like swey Todd I can't say I've seen
57:32
anything that Bart was in you only seen 12 Monkeys oh yeah but I don't remember
57:39
them being a bear I think when he's outside in the future which is actually
57:45
the present he's there's a bear yeah that he has to avoid any he so yeah all
57:51
the there's a bunch of wildlife well he was very unremember in in it so
