Transcript
- 0:00guys I've got an idea for a movie okay that I'd like to pitch to you okay does
- 0:05anyone get their breast cut off full transparency though this came to me in a
- 0:10dream okay so yes welcome to multiple
- 0:15nerdgasm with your hosts Matt Luke and Dan multiple
- 0:21nerdgasm your guide to All Things
- 0:28nerdy well that's uh Nightmare on Elm Street I think came to West Craven in a
- 0:33dream so that's you know good start that's fitting isn't it yeah yeah did he
- 0:38have the dream that there was someone trying to kill him and would he would
- 0:43die in real life or in the dream did he have a dream
- 0:48that sorry in the dream did he imagine a movie where somebody killed people in
- 0:54their dream I see uh I think no I think it was he was a dream where he had he
- 0:59imaged someone coming to attack him or something in his dream yeah I think I'm
- 1:02going to I'm going to mess the story up but he he actually there was a true
- 1:06component where he was he was when he was a kid he was looking out his window
- 1:10and a creepy guy in a hat was looking up at him from the street and that scared
- 1:14him as a kid and then as a as and he's weing a South Sydney jump
- 1:19off and then as an adult he had a nightmare about that and then the
- 1:24character came in and killed him and then he was like well that was scary and
- 1:28then then I'm going to make millions of dollars off of this yeah I've
- 1:33decided yeah but what was your dream of so in other words in other words Johnny
- 1:37Deb plays him yeah basically yeah I think Johnny Depp plays all of
- 1:44us I dreamt that there was a sequel to
- 1:48Groundhog Day right Y and you could make
- 1:53it super cheap because you don't need Bill Murray and here's why right it's
- 1:58anything that costs money in movies
- 2:01days you do need all the other actors
- 2:05from Groundhog Day right all of them all
- 2:10of them it's set the day after one of
- 2:15the days where Bill Murray [ __ ] Robs a Bank [ __ ] a bunch of women causes
- 2:22crazy havoc and then commits suicide it said the next day that's
- 2:28pretty good that's pretty good the first shot is of [ __ ] Bill Murray Bill
- 2:32Murray's dead body right yeah with everyone being like what the actual [ __ ]
- 2:38so we got to hope that the studio paid the rights to keep his
- 2:42Li and then it's just everyone else trying to [ __ ] come to terms that
- 2:47this weird guy came to town changed everyone's life blew his [ __ ] head
- 2:51off day in one day I was about to sort of bring up the fact that there's lots
- 2:55of other television shows out at the moment about that living that same day
- 2:59but not like like this no not like this that's interesting if we can't get the
- 3:03money to do this as a film I think we should pitch it as a Super Bowl ad to an
- 3:08insurance company that would work that's funny you
- 3:14never know what might happen so we I mean like yeah say there's like parallel
- 3:19universes there's parallel universes he's been jumping through them but these
- 3:23worlds actually exist where he did all this [ __ ] correct so he thinks he's just
- 3:27going back a day but he's not he's setting the timeline every single time
- 3:32it's kind of a shame cuz I think Bill Murray would be in this m mhm not
- 3:37needed he could beg us he could beg us that would be your first he could do
- 3:41something else on the movie craft services or location scouting maybe
- 3:46actually no no need got to be filmed in the same town can he pay for it we get
- 3:50we get like this this [ __ ] movie blows up and then in interviews they're
- 3:53like so I you know couldn't get Bill Murray was you know as as expected he
- 3:57was a bit you know grumpy about oh no no he [ __ ] begged us to be in it but we
- 4:01didn't want him he threatened to sue us said you can't make a grand hog day
- 4:06without me yeah he showed up on set he climbed the fence ran onto the we got
- 4:11security to escort him off yeah like Bill I love you mate but you can't be in
- 4:15this movie he was shot in the leg trying to as we try to get
- 4:20him he was doing the dishes shot him in the back I like this
- 4:26I like this movie idea mhm mhm yeah got to get the rights to ground H day and Bill
- 4:33Murray easy don't even need the rights we just get a body double to be faed
- 4:37down you could just you could just yeah never say what it is yeah I mean they
- 4:43only had to pay Cris and Glover for Back to the Future too because they recreated
- 4:47his face on another act we don't show the face we're fine as far as I know
- 4:51well actually they only had to pay him because he sued them and won they didn't
- 4:55have to pay him until then they thought they they thought they got away with it
- 4:59they thought would never have to pay him yeah exactly yeah he was like I want
- 5:04more money and they were like you know what how about no money you don't we
- 5:07don't need you anymore yeah was like What if Back to the Future 2 is a buddy
- 5:11comedy between me and Michael J fox cuz I'm just as popular as he is and deserve
- 5:15the same money and they were like no are you chis Glover Michael Bean did the
- 5:21same thing though because they used a photo of him in Alien 3 and he was like
- 5:25I didn't get a check for that mate yeah that that one's that one's Fair well he
- 5:28didn't it's not like he didn't he didn't even ask for money or anything he
- 5:31thought he was going to be an Alien 3 and then they said oh by the way we
- 5:34would have all liked him we all wanted him in Alien 3 it would have been a
- 5:38better movie if the script had had him in it sorry mate you're not in it at all
- 5:41and then he went to the movies and saw it and he was like well [ __ ] am in it
- 5:44sort of have some money for that thanks yeah mind you even if somebody
- 5:50did tip him off I think it was wise that he waited till the movie was out before
- 5:53he complained cuz they would have just cut that out they would have just
- 5:56mentioned his name yeah yeah you don't get a check for a character's name no
- 6:02you wait you wait until there's nothing you can do about it then complain and
- 6:06it's odd because well now would they just go back and just re-edit it and
- 6:10then re-release it and go no not in it yeah I think you could still make a case
- 6:14that uh he deserved a check I'll do like um George Lucas and um just re-edit the
- 6:19whole [ __ ] movie just so that your wife your ex-wife doesn't get any money
- 6:22for it yeah that's right see that's funny to you Matt because you've never
- 6:27been divorced and you don't have any ex-wives and I think that's a perfectly
- 6:31fair and reasonable thing to do to piss off a woman that you really really
- 6:37hate I um as I learned from Lance Henrickson they it's not like they were
- 6:42sh on cash for alien cuz they they threw him some money just to come be in a
- 6:48scene yeah and make it confusing he ridiculous and he didn't want to do I
- 6:52love Lance Henri yeah he didn't want to do they said they said do you want to
- 6:56fly to London and shoot this thing and he said no I'm good and said we pay you
- 7:00but then they threw more money at him yeah they said we'll pay you you just
- 7:03have to come on set and drink tea and he's like all right fine yeah but then
- 7:07they then pay him more money for ellien versus Predator oh yeah that's true yeah
- 7:11that reminds me of have you guys seen I know you have you've seen Stargate the
- 7:16movie of course yes not recently yeah from the mid90s [ __ ] holds up man yeah yeah
- 7:22yeah you do even the special effects hold up for mid90s sci-fi it is great
- 7:28the only thing that doesn't hold up at all is Kurt Russell's hair
- 7:32does multiple hair do cuz he he cuts his hair at one point and somehow makes it
- 7:36worse I've got some more Kur Russell news this episode just T out there all
- 7:41right stay tuned um do you remember the androgynous actor who played raah oh
- 7:47vaguely yeah yeah s of you remember vaguely because they were only in five
- 7:53minutes of the film sure okay got paid a
- 7:57million for that role reason being yeah
- 8:01it's an actor called J Davidson right
- 8:05and he only got one other movie credit and it's Neil Jordan's The Crying Game
- 8:10from the year before Oh okay sure sure Neil Jordan came up to him and went I
- 8:15need a transvestite you're beautiful you ever acted and he said no and Neil
- 8:21Jordan said don't worry put a wig on you right film the movie that's how it works
- 8:27yeah got the Oscar for best screenplay and Jay Davidson got the Oscar for best
- 8:32supporting actor oh hated it so much got tons and tons of offers to do other
- 8:39movies and said I'll only do another movie if I only have to show up on one
- 8:43day and you pay me a million do just so that no one would possibly offer many
- 8:49rols and [ __ ] the Stargate people were like Fu million here's the day you
- 8:54show up never did a movie after that's W just hated the experience of being in a
- 8:59movie could we get him again for one day's work at a million dollars still is
- 9:03that still on the table it was never on the table for you
- 9:07Luke it wasn't an open invitation we just need someone to come in for one day
- 9:12and get a million dollars we can't find anyone we need someone to come in for
- 9:17our grand Hong to movie we need someone for one day that would be great we oh my
- 9:23God we get a million dollar budget for to make Grand day and we blow it all on
- 9:27getting Jay Davids one day to play the
- 9:31dead body of Bill
- 9:36Murray don't even see his face yeah I don't want anyone to know I
- 9:40was in this that's fine no worries no worries is's your
- 9:46check don't casule till
- 9:52Friday so we've got a plan mhm yeah a that's our retirement plan just get get
- 9:58rich off of that the specifics are you know a bit up in the
- 10:03air step one come up with movie plan step three retire off the profits all
- 10:10that's needed is step two [ __ ] a million dollars just to I I often wonder if I
- 10:15would actually like being you know an actor in movies I like being an actor in
- 10:19our movies I find but I like the whole process of making our movies I don't
- 10:24like the whole process of making any other movies cuz of or or or TV or
- 10:29anything like actual movie generally speaking I I don't like
- 10:34unless I'm with my friends and we're just having fun like I look at something
- 10:38like getting paid a million dollars well see yeah that doesn't that doesn't mean
- 10:42I'm going to enjoy it I'm going to put up with it for a million
- 10:46dollars I'll enjoy just about anything that's being done to me if I know
- 10:50there's a million dollars coming to me straight after but then I look at
- 10:53something like and that is an open invitation I look at something like
- 10:56always sunny or Mythic quest which we should talk about cuz there's a new
- 10:59episode of Mythic Quest I for put that in here oh there is yeah there's a new
- 11:04episode out just one just one for now yeah no [ __ ] it gonna wait okay I think
- 11:11I think maybe you should watch it it's quite good but anyway godam all right I
- 11:15look at something like that or or always sunny or um you know like uh the you
- 11:20know like taay TI Thor movies that kind of stuff those kind of movies would be
- 11:24fun but in a lot of other movies I'm like I think that would be a [ __ ]
- 11:27nightmare yeah well I can tell you firsthand I mean we made short films and
- 11:33quite a bit of that and had a lot of fun um took me 20 years before I finally got
- 11:38to direct my own television series full length comedy series it was the worst
- 11:43experience of my life and I'll never do it again
- 11:48so it was [ __ ] horrible your dreams
- 11:52don't your your dreams will let you down then what what you think they're going
- 11:57to be just have fun with your mates on the weekends that's where it's
- 12:02at I mean I yeah I almost agree but only because I had I had a more limited
- 12:08experience working on stuff but I still I what I saw I was like this is not this
- 12:12is not as funny as it is when we do it I'll do it I think if you're the actor
- 12:18it might be more fun exct around laugh and but like what so you know when you
- 12:23watch blooper reals listeners you might not know this when you watch blooper
- 12:26reals and the actors fumble their lines and they laugh and they like other and
- 12:31everyone else on set is going [ __ ] you do your [ __ ] job we want to go home
- 12:37want to go I laugh while holding the camera and have to do this again just
- 12:42learn your [ __ ] lines and say them it's 3:00 a.m. we want to go home say
- 12:46the [ __ ] lines mhm faster more
- 12:51intense so yeah new Mythic quest uh [ __ ] great show it's it's more of the
- 12:56same trailer looks good for season two yeah it's more the same it's it's goofy
- 13:00it's it's like uh you know nothing serious about it but it does talk about
- 13:05things that you know we're interested in video game company if you don't know
- 13:08what Mythic Quest is it's Rob melan from always Sunny's uh new show it's about a
- 13:14game development company it's comedy uh it's just goofy stupid fun it's good
- 13:19it's a little bit irreverent I like it it's okay this one is they've come back
- 13:23to the office it's the first day back after the pandemic after Co so it's fictional
- 13:28yeah and uh uh yeah and they're having a big party to celebrate Mythic Quest is
- 13:34the only show that did a CO lockdown episode that really really worked I I
- 13:41think we talked about this I watched that and I was like why the [ __ ] didn't
- 13:45we think of that he's actually he might be a genius Rob M it was as good as any
- 13:51other episode of that show yeah and all all of the other you know episodes that
- 13:55TV shows did that they were just tribute episodes you know what I mean they were just
- 13:59like yeah yeah I mean even westwing did one you know but it was just it just
- 14:05wasn't it was just an extra little thing this was just an episode of Mythic Quest
- 14:10but they were all on Co lockdown it was amazing it was I think this happened
- 14:14just as like it really happened as I about to go to record wasn't it and they
- 14:19were no I still want to do something I think they shot it all on iPhones too
- 14:23that's the that's there's so many things about it that are just like just just
- 14:28fascinating and and like again like I said like he's just so smart
- 14:32like like um it's funny it's sad and and like touching it's got all the all the
- 14:39points all the points that every other Mythic Quest had like you said and then
- 14:42and then like you just don't even you forget that it's just them sitting on
- 14:45Zoom or or faking to be sitting on Zoom because they shouldn't on iPhone but you
- 14:48do remember we have had these ideas we just don't follow through well that's
- 14:51the thing I saw on Caitlyn olsson's uh Instagram around that time she took a
- 14:57photo of Rob filming that episode oh sure and he's basically made himself a
- 15:03little for around him with like mattresses and blankets and pillows and
- 15:07things just to contain the audio cuz he's just filming on the so it just
- 15:12looks like the attached mic but he's got like yeah yeah yeah funny I love that
- 15:19just the opening of that episode where he's in the hot tub he's trying he's
- 15:22doing the zoom meeting in the hot tub and David's like why are you in the hot
- 15:25tub I can't eat David I'm in the hot tub let me turn the jet
- 15:30so good mhm and then when when he went around to Poppy's house yeah that's what
- 15:35I'm saying and they they like filmed it with her boyfriend a body double in the
- 15:39background So Good Genius just amazing it's a really great show listen check it
- 15:45out it's just it's the only problem with it is it's on Apple TV which not
- 15:48everybody has like a lot of people do but then I some Sometimes some people
- 15:51I'm like oh you should watch Mythic Quest oh what's said on Apple TV oh like
- 15:56everyone has the Pirate Bay that's why I'm going to be waiting for it all to be
- 15:59there and then I will watch it I think this was like a special episode so okay
- 16:06okay all right so I don't I don't know how they're doing season starts on first
- 16:11week of May yeah so I think what's happened is they've put this one up this
- 16:14is a special episode and then season two is like full comes out the first week of
- 16:19May oh okay so well it looks like I'm going to be watching this I mean it's
- 16:24good and the [ __ ] production values through the roof now you know they
- 16:28always had the little CGI bits this is they've gone they've gone overboard with
- 16:33stuff great I like it when a good show gets more money for the second season
- 16:38and I think it's well spent in this case what CG bits well well you know they
- 16:43always have G sequences yeah yeah some of them were some of them were pinched
- 16:46from other games some of them were like made like you know the blood ocean
- 16:52thing lot everywhere but in this I don't want to it's not spoiler I guess like
- 16:58there are fantasy elements where the the characters the actors go into like
- 17:03fantasy things so it's kind of like you know expanding on all that and and like
- 17:07the CGI and stuff is great and practical effects and it's great I don't want to
- 17:11give anything away but it's good [ __ ] H and I just
- 17:15watched every episode of Entourage back to back and then
- 17:22why you don't like Entourage I've never seen it I've never seen have you watched
- 17:29no never not an episod it's about it's about Hollywood actors and actual
- 17:34Hollywood actors play themselves okay James Cameron is in it as himself cu the
- 17:40lead guy Vinnie gets in a James Cameron movie scusi plays himself
- 17:45Gary this is so good it's so good isn't it about Mark walberg's life or
- 17:52something no not really basically Mark wallberg gave the guy the idea because
- 17:58the guy dug out marberg andberg when he came to Hollywood brought three of his school
- 18:04friends with him and that's a good idea for his show no SC where they beat this
- 18:09guy to so bad that he goes blind Jesus is that what happened to Mark wallberg
- 18:14oh yeah he actually uh beat some guy up so bad that he's now blind one eye no
- 18:21that does not Mark wber is blind in one eye cuz he punched a guy so hard that
- 18:26his eye broke okay well that's not funny but that's not the show and uh wallberg
- 18:32got chucked a producer credit but has nothing to do with the show but it's
- 18:35really good and it ramps too like the first couple of epod they're 20 minutes
- 18:40long right they just TV half hours so from pretty quick yeah I didn't know
- 18:45that either and uh it's very very funny okay um if you don't like the first
- 18:50episode watch the first three to get to know the characters a little bit I think
- 18:55maybe that's what I need to do breaking bad cuz I didn't like Breaking Bad I to
- 18:59like it's never going to happen I just don't have time but I got to like
- 19:03honestly Matt I don't know if you would like Breaking Bad everyone keeps
- 19:07everyone goes no no no you would you would I'm like really okay I didn't but all
- 19:12right I I tell you what Matt and you wouldn't like it for the same reason as
- 19:16I don't want to watch it again is because the actual good stuff is about a
- 19:20third of the show and then there's a lot of just really slow drama in there as
- 19:24well okay that is you know quality drama good scripted and everything but just
- 19:28just like like get to the good stuffff you know get to the crazy weird old man
- 19:33making explosions and stuff like do that yeah all right I liked it but I I I
- 19:38don't know that you would fully appreciate it well well yeah I probably
- 19:43I'm never going to watch it I'm never going to watch it let's be honest I've
- 19:46never seen it you haven't seen it either no no I'd recommend it to Luke before I
- 19:51recommended it to Matt really yeah but only because I don't know what Luke like
- 19:5710 seasons man like so I just recommend that's the
- 20:00other problem with it there's so much of it that it's like I feel like if I'm
- 20:04going to start watching it I'm I'm sort of committing to watching all of it and
- 20:07then I'm like what if I don't like it well too bad you going have to watch it
- 20:10all otherwise everyone's going to Jud I also find Matt the first two episodes
- 20:15are some of the best episodes of the whole really thing well
- 20:21then yeah so if you've watched those seen so if you don't like the first one
- 20:27watch the first and the first two are the best that's what I'm hearing
- 20:32here sounds like I've already seen no of of Breaking Bad of Entourage you got to
- 20:37watch at least three cuz the characters are Pricks in entourage they're all
- 20:41Pricks so if you just watch M you might go oh these guys are just Pricks I'm not
- 20:45going to watch this but they're they ende to very
- 20:49quickly we started watching a show that I'd not seen before which apparently is
- 20:54was quite big got a bunch of Seasons uh I just had never heard of the show it's
- 20:59called psych do you know this show ah yes sign up up until about season 6 or
- 21:03seven I don't know this this is a show from uh '90s or 2000s I think might it's
- 21:08it's it's it's an older show and uh it's about a guy who who uh because we
- 21:15finished Elementary and then this one was recommended to us it's about a guy
- 21:19who's uh basically he's like a detective his dad trains him to be like super
- 21:23observant he notices everything he's almost a little you know a little
- 21:26autistic about he notices details and he can figure things out out but um he gets
- 21:31he so he's solving crimes for the police like in his spare time he calls in tips
- 21:35and stuff and then they get suspicious about how he knows so much so he tells
- 21:41him he's psychic and then so and then he
- 21:45becomes the police psychic and uh and he opens a psychic detective agency but
- 21:50he's not psychic he's just observant it's actually it's pretty funny it's
- 21:54pretty funny yeah it's Goofy and silly it's just it's good very light
- 21:59yes watch it it is great yeah funny show it's very easy to sit down and just
- 22:04watch a couple episodes yeah yeah have a laugh it's not nothing serious it's I
- 22:08did laugh though not uh so the first episode has uh there's two police
- 22:14detectives right there's the the almost the antagonist who's like a police
- 22:17detective who doesn't like yes and then in the first episode in the pilot the
- 22:23the female detective is is the girl from house who is Amber Amber from House
- 22:28house is that person's name there was an Amber in house I haven't seen the first
- 22:32episode of PCH haven't you it is Amber I I came in around
- 22:39season three it is why is it not Amber vacus from House character from house
- 22:45anyway the actress who plays her is is the female detective and she's not in
- 22:49any episodes after that and I found out it's because in the in the pilot of
- 22:53Psych they point out that the that the two detectives are having an affair and test test
- 23:00audiences felt that it made the the guy detective too
- 23:05unlikable right but Luke she got fired yeah but you've seen the show Luke they
- 23:11think that's what makes him unlikable he's a [ __ ] with like that's his job in
- 23:15the show is to be a [ __ ] with yeah but there's like being
- 23:20unlikable because there's someone who's following the rules to somebody's having
- 23:23an affair yeah I suppose like it just the but just cuz I
- 23:28that and then I watched an episode where he's just like just being a prick and I
- 23:31was like sorry they felt that he was too unlikable because he not that not having
- 23:35an affair he's married but they're separated too that's that they said that
- 23:38they messed up because they they didn't make it clear that he was separated that
- 23:41was this this whole thing about it but anyway it just made me laugh that they
- 23:45had to fire this actress who went on to become super
- 23:49famous because instead of just getting a pickup shot where he takes off his
- 23:53wedding ring and puts it in a drawer and says well they have a conversation about
- 23:57it in the show it's just that the test audience just didn't pick up on it and
- 24:00so they're like ah [ __ ] like at one point he says oh yeah my wife's living
- 24:04in you know Florida or something and then well you've got what eight seasons
- 24:09and two movies to watch now so two movies of yes made for TV movies or do they
- 24:16like how have I never heard of this until now they made for TV movies one's
- 24:22called blasty come home what anyway it's it's good I'll watch him
- 24:28Matt your husband and wife story reminds me of a ad campaign that I did for a um
- 24:33chain of luxury apartments in Japan and my concept for
- 24:39it was cuz they have all these different luxury apartments ranging from ones kind
- 24:44of geared singles on up to really really Posh ones right and so I had this idea
- 24:50that it was this woman who lived her whole life in these apartments just
- 24:54going through the stages of her life right and moving into the next stage so
- 24:57she's single in one and then while she's mingling she sees this man and the next
- 25:01one they're moving in together and the next one they're in a different place
- 25:03they got a baby then he's off for the business conference in one and they're
- 25:07doing a you know teleconference and then they're at their last one and their kids
- 25:11all grown up we made this ad right we shot it in Japan then um someone at the
- 25:18corporation said oh actually we want
- 25:21this one particular apartment shown last uh so put that scene at the end and I
- 25:27like well it kind has to be because yeah yeah yeah no no no they
- 25:32insisted right and it just so happened to be and they're like no no no it's the
- 25:35one where the guy goes on the business trip so it doesn't matter so now it's a
- 25:38story of a woman who meets a man falls in love they move in have a baby and
- 25:43then he moves out and because it's like a business
- 25:50trip we shot him pack in the suitcase and everything so it's really shows him
- 25:54[ __ ] getting a divorce you know what I mean and then the last it is supposed
- 25:57to be just like enjoying a drink but like out of context the last shot is
- 26:01just of him standing alone on the balcony slowly sipping a scotch enjoying
- 26:08life family that's
- 26:11funny and Japanese men were like yes yeah they're like I relate to this I'm
- 26:17going buy myself a [Laughter]
- 26:22condo that's funny uh as a TV show I did watch uh I accidentally watched
- 26:28basically all of it I didn't realize there are only six episodes of the
- 26:31Falcon and the Winter Soldier oh and I've watched five of them uh the the
- 26:36finale is out this week um I've only watched four okay and how is it it's it
- 26:43you know what the first episode I was like oh I don't know about this but it's
- 26:46actually very good okay different very different tone to wonder wonder Vision
- 26:53which is good enjoying it I think at the beginning I was like I don't know man
- 26:57this is like m did my biggest complain I think we're going to go from this to we went from
- 27:02one division which is so silly this to which has been serious for the most part
- 27:06and then we're going to go to Loki which I think is going to go back to a bit
- 27:09more hey we're Marvel watch us have fun again Loki looks good that second
- 27:13trailer for Loki is excellent I'm psyched yeah I really do need to go back
- 27:18and watch uh Winter Soldier and now that I'm finished Entourage maybe I'll have
- 27:21some time my only complaint with it is more there's only six episodes of this
- 27:27right and like I feel like it could have been more because they they dump a lot
- 27:33of info on you in this I don't know if you felt the same thing Luke when you
- 27:36watch it like yes they like they they tell you a bunch of [ __ ] it's like you
- 27:40could have filmed that and and made more show you know what I mean like there's
- 27:44just a lot of it's It's called a budget yeah I suppose it's but it's Disney it
- 27:50just surprised me that like only six episodes cuz they're like cramming the
- 27:53[ __ ] story in there like I don't know it's it's very you really P ATT if you
- 27:59want to figure out what's like if you just want to sit back and watch it it's
- 28:01fine but if you really want to understand what's going cuz it's you
- 28:04know International espion this kind of stuff you can't have to be like what and
- 28:07then they like it's you know they you'll see someone talking about something you
- 28:12go what the [ __ ] is that I don't remember them talking about that and
- 28:14then they do explain it later but it's just because because there was so much
- 28:17info dump you're like oh wait have I missed something there's just a few
- 28:20times where that happened I felt it's very um I think but I also think they
- 28:26know exactly what they're doing yeah well like I said it it always became
- 28:30clear it just there were times where I was like wait I miss something and uh
- 28:35and it's just yeah it's very uh Exposition heavy in Parts where like for
- 28:42example the opening sequence I I actually don't really know why that all
- 28:46happened I I missed that cuz you know what I'm talking about there's an
- 28:49opening action sequence which is kind of separate a bit from the story you know
- 28:53what I'm talking about Luke oh where Winter Soldier kills that's no no no no
- 28:57no no no guy no no no the opening sequence with Falcon with the
- 29:00helicopters and stuff oh that does not need to be there that was just a waste
- 29:04of money but why was that happening can you remember do do you know what the
- 29:08plot was why was why was that happening that was that was just to lead into
- 29:13meeting the other guy who's up on the Fly I'm not talking about like as
- 29:18practically with the show what was the plot got no idea who was that guy that
- 29:22he was trying to rescue and why was he trying to rescue him and why couldn't
- 29:25they they go into Libya it's not really a I just enjoyed it no no I know exactly
- 29:30I did too but you know what the kind of an example of what I'm saying is that
- 29:34the show opened and then there was a scene of him talking basically briefing
- 29:37him on the mission and they went oh this blah blah blah blah blah blah and then
- 29:40it was just action for 20 minutes and it got to the end and I was like wait what
- 29:43was the point of that like that was that was great why was he doing that I don't
- 29:47remember cuz it was just it was way I understood it was just basically just to
- 29:51introduce that other Soldier guy that he sort of friends with I I get that it's
- 29:55just that the the it's it's just how they present the plot I think is kind of
- 30:00like sounds like an expensive way to introduce a character well I mean the action is
- 30:06fantastic it's you could it could just be a movie which is I think which is I
- 30:09think the point which is probably why there's only six
- 30:12episodes you know what I'm curious also has six episodes I just checked so I
- 30:17don't get it too excited yeah yeah the new Lord of the Rings series that's
- 30:22going to come out on Amazon um the first season cost 46
- 30:28million what Christ almighty I'm really hoping that this is more like Lord of
- 30:34the Rings and less like The Hobbit yeah of course a really good Lord of the
- 30:38Rings TV series could be really really good but here's the thing they didn't
- 30:44need that much money to make Lord of the Rings and it's when they had the money
- 30:47to make The Hobbit that The Hobbit happened that's all that's all I'm
- 30:51saying I don't know if it was too much money that spoiled the hob I don't quite
- 30:55know what it was at all I I feel like sometimes that's thing right yeah still
- 31:00think they went backwards I think they should have started off with The Hobbit
- 31:03as sort of a test movie like made one movie and then worked on to to the
- 31:08trilogy well I tried to rewatch The Hobbit in fact I I did um watched it all
- 31:13garbage that's absolute garbage and then I started to think to myself was Lord of
- 31:17the Rings garbage too and I was just really young when I saw it went back and
- 31:20watched it [ __ ] excellent it's it's good it's so different in it's it's not
- 31:26good lord of the the Rings no h no it's
- 31:30good it's good I can't see luk can't see L cuz he's not well so he's got his
- 31:36camera off so I can't see if he's being sarcastic oh I I am H I am not I'm
- 31:41deadly serious used to have four hosts on this
- 31:47podcast there was one host that used to constantly talk about how bad Lord of
- 31:51the Rings was because he doesn't watch movies about kings and queens it was not
- 31:56Luke and it wasn't You Luke I never heard you chiming up and going yeah I
- 32:00agree with you I've never been big into
- 32:05dragons there's no dragons in Lord of the Rings okay yeah I was about to say
- 32:09The Hobbit is the one with dragon I did have to do a mental check
- 32:14now there's no dragons in Lord of the Rings just a b roll I've played the
- 32:17first no I've seen the first Lord of the Rings and then I played the Lego Trilogy
- 32:23oh so you've got the plot down yeah
- 32:26yeah basically read the novels M I can't believe they spent so long on Aragon
- 32:32just collecting all those little Lego pieces ridiculous it was sort of weird
- 32:36watching the Lego sort of cut scenes and then listening to sound from the m movie
- 32:42while people are being
- 32:46murdered in Luke's
- 32:51house game here in the Lego game they actually take sound bites from the movie
- 32:56so when there's cut seeds and it's like Arrow fights and sword fights is
- 33:00actually just so you've got this Lego cartoony sort of violence which is not
- 33:04violence and then but the sound of brutal death but does it just pause for
- 33:1045 minutes while there's a council of elron cut scene they I think they may
- 33:16condensed a little bit they even talk I thought Lego characters didn't talk in
- 33:20those movies no they do now oh in the games in the Star Wars ones they didn't
- 33:23talk they just kind of minded out hm if
- 33:28you play the episode seven they talk oh okay there you go and I think they will
- 33:34in the next one that comes out next year unfortunately time it's unfortunate it's
- 33:39coming out next year not unfortunate that's it's coming out or that they talk oh
- 33:44okay why what what what are they up to now oh they're just
- 33:49releasing Lego Star Wars the entire thing so I'm really looking forward to
- 33:54battle for Endor caravana courage it's is that your prediction or is is that
- 34:00they're not going to have that in there although we do I have they do have it on
- 34:04Disney plus now say you never know never i' very surprised if they did there's a
- 34:08sequence where you just sit there and watch a a half naked girl
- 34:12dance yeah yeah yeah oh I love that show the um the Kurt Russell news I wanted to
- 34:18mention is that one of the actors in uh Falcon and the Winter Soldier is Kurt
- 34:21Russell's son and I don't want to say who he plays because it's a little bit
- 34:25of a spoiler I guess but but uh now that I've said that I think you'll know when
- 34:30you see it I think I might already know just because of the internet yeah
- 34:34probably I was I was trying to ignore and I don't know why this is happening
- 34:39yeah yeah that's fine yeah you'll find out and you're probably right and you
- 34:43will find out and uh that's Kurt Russell's son and is it any good is it
- 34:46good because I when I just saw this one thing I was like huh no no no it's good
- 34:52okay I was I'm honestly I was quite surprised where this show went I don't
- 34:56know if you f the same I was like oh right Luke you've got a whole episode to
- 35:01catch up on by the sounds of it behind yes and oh [ __ ] I just realized where
- 35:07you where you've seen up to as well Luke you've only seen episode four right yes
- 35:13yeah all right I was meant to watch episode 5 today but I've been sick so we
- 35:17put off watching it today we're going to watch it tomorrow and don't worry
- 35:21remember I you can tell me anything now I'll forget no no no I just like I I
- 35:26just remembered what happened at the end of episode and I was like oh jeez all
- 35:30right it's good when does when does the final episode come out Matt this Friday
- 35:36okay I might have caught up by then let's see you should it's good and
- 35:39they're longer than one division 2 these are like although it still has [ __ ] I
- 35:43looked at long credit sequence yeah like 20 minutes of credits I'm not joking cuz
- 35:48I looked at the time runtime EV it it's like they're an hour long and I was like
- 35:51oh jeez all right they're not they're 40 to 45 minutes long and I think this is
- 35:57part of the problem
- 37:27[Music]
- 37:58I've got the first shot of the one that you're not allowed to get if you're
- 38:00under 50 now so does that mean you can't get the second shot it's not quite clear
- 38:06yet what that means to me which one did you get Astra Zen AST Zen we don't even
- 38:11have that one here y That's the first one I've had and then they've gone yeah
- 38:15anyone under 50 don't have that and I'm
- 38:17oh [ __ ] but uh I already got that well yeah the Johnson and Johnson one is the
- 38:24one that they've pulled here cuz the one shot one yeah because of the the blood
- 38:28clotting but then there's some question as to whether like statistically those
- 38:32people would have had blood clots anyway and it's just cuz they're I I don't know
- 38:37I don't know how to make sense of it these days actually kind I'm just going
- 38:41to do what people tell me to do that kind of leads me into another story
- 38:44we've gotten here just the fact that the the the media kind of goes Gang Busters
- 38:48on things and you just don't really know these days there was a this week the
- 38:52Chaser who uh for for our non Australian listeners chases like a like a SAT
- 38:57entire show where they B I didn't know they was still around they kind of [ __ ]
- 39:01with the media and and stuff leftwing political comedy yeah so this week they
- 39:07uh they thought it was quite funny that you know cancel culture is so in the
- 39:12news these days and it seemed like you know the media was just jumping on
- 39:15everything you know when they thought something was being canceled so they
- 39:19created a uh they created a fake person on Twitter and Facebook who if you did a
- 39:26bit of looking was obviously fake because and it became more obviously
- 39:29fake over time because fans were commenting and going oh it's the Chaser
- 39:33on their profiles and and everywhere and then this fake the news cycle had
- 39:37already ran with it well the the fake person created a uh a change.org
- 39:41petition saying that fairy bread is offensive to gay people and uh
- 39:46requesting that they change the name of fairy bread and started sharing this
- 39:50around on social media and at first they thought it was going really well but
- 39:55then some right-wing talk show host in Australia messaged and said we want to
- 40:01interview you on the show and they were like oh this is great they're falling
- 40:03for it except he got him on the show and then he was like oh it's you it's Chaser
- 40:07boys isn't it are they there with you it's a joke isn't it and they were like
- 40:09oh [ __ ] they busted us so they thought that's the end of it except it wasn't
- 40:15because then it was just on all the news sites anyway like even if you and then
- 40:19they they basically the message was like did these people not even Google
- 40:22anything like if you Google this article the all the the top results are like is
- 40:27a a prank and the new s still ran with it for like a whole week the reason why
- 40:31this probably picked up is cu you've heard that there's the position to
- 40:35change gay time yes yeah heard about that yeah turns out no one gives a [ __ ]
- 40:40sort of I bet there's I bet there's no gay people signing that petition I bet
- 40:44the gay people are like don't give a [ __ ] mate mhm the ice cream was called
- 40:48out long before we started calling ourselves out no it's actually started
- 40:52by someone who is gay and they said of saying it's now changed its turn it
- 40:57doesn't mean like when it was gay time was around like it me like happy and it
- 41:01doesn't mean that anymore and it's like but yeah so it's still not bad no it's
- 41:06just fair enough for practical reasons I mean it might be confusing for for kids
- 41:10like gay time that's be weird I mean that's we all said that when we were
- 41:14kids like gay time yeah we were like but they're delicious on gay time please
- 41:20there the time before us where it just didn't mean that there was the time
- 41:22where it started to become you know homosexual and then we thought that was
- 41:26funny and then now it's the time where it's meant that for so long that kids
- 41:28are like why isn't ice cream called that yeah so well I mean I suppose they
- 41:32changed it you know you can't get a red skin anymore
- 41:37yeah after a race it's not like they were like let's call an ice cream after
- 41:43queer people yeah yeah Redskins literally let's give it a racist name
- 41:48that'll be fun yeah and then and then some some point during our childhood
- 41:52they were like the picture on the packet isn't racist enough let's up the end
- 41:57wild choice that one to really double
- 42:01down on that racist caricature yeah he
- 42:05nose isn't big enough he's just not silly enough we've not we've not you
- 42:11know demeaned where Tomahawk exactly
- 42:14what out there unbelievable so yeah uh next time you read an article about
- 42:20something being cancelled just do a bit of Googling and make sure that it's
- 42:23actually uh something read the rest of the article on your Facebook post or
- 42:27even just read the [ __ ] petition that they're talking about where it mentions
- 42:30the Chaser and everyone in the comments is like oh it's the Chaser and then
- 42:34you'll know that you know it's not real or go to a real news source yeah I don't
- 42:39think that that is anymore what's a real news source these days though yeah I
- 42:42know look speaking of things that weren't offensive but were and now are
- 42:46definitely not we've known for a couple of years now that Apu from The Simpsons
- 42:51is a horrible racist caricature of the other kind of Indian and um they've
- 42:57had him off the show for at least a year now but Han gazaria this week came out
- 43:02and officially apologized and said that if he could he'd apologize face to face
- 43:07with every single Indian person um I guess he doesn't realize just how large
- 43:13the population is he said he would be he just doesn't have time he'd be dead
- 43:17before he finished yeah there there's a billion of them yeah but yeah he came
- 43:23came out and he said look honest to God didn't know it was bad it is bad but I
- 43:27didn't know it's one of those The Simpsons has been on so long that it's
- 43:31had time for things that it did in the beginning to become not acceptable and
- 43:37yeah like I guess that's that's probably other shows are going things at the time
- 43:43I was it it was trying to make speak of how do I say this about being terrible
- 43:49no I know what you're trying to say and I think a listen hopefully charitable
- 43:52listeners will also understand what you're trying to say so but but it sucks
- 43:56that you've got to be so careful about it but go on yeah Dan wants you to fail
- 43:59yeah it was just like it was a commentary of the time that was
- 44:03something that was perceived from every single that a lot of people saw that
- 44:077-Eleven that meant you you would have Indian people working there
- 44:10unfortunately that's a stereotype that's it was making fun of The Stereotype
- 44:15except in a way that we've realized now is not helpful well it's the same it's
- 44:21the same thing about we we talking last week about the Always Sunny guys doing a
- 44:26commentary on blackface by doing blackface which five years ago was very
- 44:31clever and now it's just not on yeah it's like no no you you can't do it that
- 44:35way that's you you're still offending people to make a point yeah yeah well
- 44:40Always Sunny is one of the I mean I'm surprised some of the stuff in the early
- 44:43Always Sunny Seasons but they I mean they were always very careful about it h
- 44:48so maybe that's why but I think again over time I think it's also because they
- 44:54come across like absolute [ __ ] widths sure so you could re they there's nothing
- 44:59redeeming about them ter are racist characters sexist characters these guys
- 45:05are just [ __ ] with so we're holding up a mirror to that aspect of society you
- 45:11think I think that probably saved them is at the very start they would wanted
- 45:15de to sort of be the voice of reason oh sure yeah but she was no I want to be as
- 45:20terrible as you guys I think if they had had her as the voice of reason it would
- 45:23probably have a very different tone now that probably wouldn't they might have
- 45:26had bad takes on things or takes that became bad takes whereas they don't have
- 45:31that now they just have them being [ __ ] with yeah yeah there's no conscience
- 45:35yeah so it's just all bad yeah and then the second season they added Frank and
- 45:41doubled down oh God he's still in
- 45:45blackface in a few episodes is he
- 45:49yes in black face there's that episode in in the last season where they're the
- 45:55focus group and he's like look I just didn't know who the villain when I was
- 45:58young the bad guys always wore black or were black and it was very easy to tell
- 46:04yeah I think he's probably a good compass for them too I told you there
- 46:10was that anecdote where they made an episode they wrote an episode where
- 46:15Frank uh I think he got arrested on like false rape charges went to prison and
- 46:20got raped in prison oh my God and went to the prison guards and the prison
- 46:24guards raped him and then they sent the script to Dane DeVito and
- 46:29he was like I don't I don't think I can do this guys and they were like April
- 46:34fools it's not real we weren't really going to film it oh my God but does this
- 46:40exist because I want to find it no no they said they said they're like let's
- 46:44write something that he'll say no to cuz he never said no and they're like we'll
- 46:47get him wow yeah so he said that's one time he called them up and and even then
- 46:52he was like I don't know guys I don't know about this one and they're like ah
- 46:55we're [ __ ] with you that's not a real episode I've got some notes yeah when I
- 47:00was about 19 I auditioned for a musical
- 47:04and um I got the part and uh it was called coed prison [ __ ] from cell block
- 47:11d right Y and I didn't know that when I walked into the audition so went in had the
- 47:17audition talked to the director he's like yeah yeah yeah you're great here's
- 47:20the script taken on read it and I so what they just have you go
- 47:24in and sing something else or yeah yeah correct and and then I came back in and
- 47:27I was like I'm not going to be in this I'm not going to be in this and he was
- 47:31like no no no no it's edgy it's risky and I'm like no it's it's and like and
- 47:36this is me at [ __ ] 20 years old where like almost anything was fair game for
- 47:41comedy and this I was like no way you've gone too far way there's a character it
- 47:48wasn't my character but there was a character who was cuz it's all set in a
- 47:50prison the coed prison right and there's so much rape it's basically all rape but
- 47:56there's like there's this one character who's a convicted child molester and he
- 48:00sings a song about how great it is to rape kids oh God but the way that the
- 48:05guy described it to me he was like this is probably how the people felt when
- 48:09they auditioned for The Rocky Horror Show and look what a hit that became I'm
- 48:14like Rocky Horror Show didn't have any kids getting raped yeah I remember I got
- 48:19pitched on uh on a certain film by someone someone you both know uh and
- 48:24they said a similar thing remember what Christian Bale might have thought when
- 48:28he read the script for American Psycho that's how I got pitched on uh film that
- 48:32we did and obviously same story I went on to great success yeah and that's why
- 48:37I ended up playing Batman in that uh short film we made oh that's true your
- 48:42career has mirrored my weight my weight has fluctuated over the years much like
- 48:48Christian
- 48:51B MH MH yeah I was I'm also born in uh
- 48:55the UK you know any magic tricks uh H we
- 49:00haven't done a magician movie maybe no I can do I can do a couple you also played
- 49:06Spider-Man once too and that's true Christian Bale never played Spider-Man
- 49:10yeah a Spider-Man suit that I barely fit into it was not zipped up at the back
- 49:15but you could obviously the viewers wouldn't have known that but that that
- 49:19suit was not getting zipped [Laughter]
- 49:25up can I can I pitch uh geek of the week
- 49:29Luke you can try Okay this uh this guy I
- 49:33argue is quite geeky uh he's in the tech industry more or less um certainly in
- 49:40the news a lot 10 years ago
- 49:43okayo this is a this is a celebrity
- 49:47called Bernie maid off Bernie famous cuz
- 49:51he made off with a lot of money oh the Ponzi the guy whose Ponzi scheme
- 49:58caused the 2008 Global financial crisis he's dead um sentenced to life in prison
- 50:05and died as he lived got out of it in
- 50:09prison he got out of it at the age of 82
- 50:14quite old quite old yeah but this is a I mean this guy like his son couldn't live
- 50:20with the shame of what his dad did and killed himself [ __ ] me so like this guy
- 50:25is yeah Luke right Bernie maid off G this may shock
- 50:32you but no no no okay no I mean he was a
- 50:36bit of a techie bit of a you know no he was a terrible terrible person he may
- 50:42have watched Star Trek at some point in his life we'll never know because he's
- 50:46dead yeah we can't ask him now like one of the go one of the Google questions
- 50:50you Google Bernie maid off and it's like what exactly did Bernie maid off
- 50:55do Bernie m off um he defrauded tens of
- 50:59thousand ofest for $65 billion yeah but you know how he did it
- 51:05right you know what a Ponzi scheme actually is it's it's quite ingenious
- 51:09except that vaguely it has no end right so you you ask people to invest and then
- 51:16when new people invest you give their money to the old people who invested and
- 51:21tell them it's dividends so more people keep investing you just keep passing
- 51:25that money on and it gets to a point where there's no one else to invest in
- 51:30it and that's when it all comes crashing down yes ways inevitably seem seems like
- 51:36you could foresee that he he may have not had a Escape Plan in order I I think
- 51:42there the only thing you can do is at a certain point you leave the country and
- 51:46change your name because as Luke rightly points out what did you think was going
- 51:51to happen this is named after a guy called Ponzi who did this in the 20s yeah right and
- 51:57uh yeah I guess in the 20s it was probably easier to disappear than it is
- 52:02now yeah I think he was caught as well yeah he definitely all right and in fact I think
- 52:09he committed suicide as well from memory jeez God what's it with all these people
- 52:14just dying yeah not getting geek a week before we wrap this up I just want
- 52:20to talk about another movie or Trilogy of movies um or something that you
- 52:26didn't realize was a Trilogy until HBO Max and now literally
- 52:32marketing the Snider Trilogy which of course is Man of Steel
- 52:38Batman v Superman and Justice League okay they literally refer to it in
- 52:43promos as SN Trilogy the Snider Trilogy yeah so his 4our thingy that's the TR
- 52:50part of the trilogy so they it would they uh they workshopped the Snider
- 52:56films that he made before we fired him and didn't go down so well yeah yeah
- 53:00that's right yeah the Snider
- 53:05experiment it's I this could be the longest Trilogy I'll give it that is it
- 53:10the longest or is The Hobbit the longest I don't think any of the hobbits
- 53:14were 4 hours but they were all at least 3 hours right maybe you're right are
- 53:20there some like yeah like extended Cuts
- 53:24yeah the hobit I'd be curious to see if if The Hobbit
- 53:30or this is longer when I rewatched The Hobbit last year or the year before I
- 53:34felt long a shorter version God it's so awful The Hobbit I know what I don't
- 53:38talk about it again all I can think about is The Hobbit is is I thought the
- 53:43I thought the first one was bad enough then the second one was worse and then
- 53:46the third one came out and I was like yeah why am I watching this awful the
- 53:52bit where legalist runs on the Rocks as they're falling I was like this is this
