• 1:40
  Speaker 8: And we're coming to you live via digital recording from
• 1:42
  Speaker 8: Blue Jay Way. I forgot that's what we.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: Called our house.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not bad.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: It's okay if you like the Beatles.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, what are you, an Elvis fan?
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: No.
• 1:52
  Speaker 8: All right, then. Elvis it is.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about Elvis.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: No.
• 1:55
  Speaker 8: And Elvis movies for the next hour and a half.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. Roustabout, I think. I think we need
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: to cover Roustabout. How can you name an Elvis movie?
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: The underappreciated Stay Away Joe.
• 2:06
  Speaker 8: It has a lot of guys pretending to be Native Americans,
• 2:10
  Speaker 8: but they're really just dorky white dudes in red face.
• 2:13
  Speaker 8: That I feel like would go over pretty well these days.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, it's no worse than the latest incarnation
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: of the Lone Ranger. Oh, my God.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: No, no.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: We didn't watch the whole thing.
• 2:24
  Speaker 8: He thinks that he's Native American, so it's all right.
• 2:28
  Speaker 8: As long as your actor is delusional and thinks that
• 2:31
  Speaker 8: he's Native American.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Also, don't we all.
• 2:34
  Speaker 8: Hate him now anyway because he's just kind of a creep?
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: What happened to him? Yes, and I'll tell you what.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: He lost it. This goes right back to movies. The beasts. Magical.
• 2:45
  Speaker 8: Beast of the Southern Wild that are fantastic.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Damn it, and where to find them.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Where they lives.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: I got them in my briefcase. Movie over.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: I got them in my briefcase. Actually, I really like
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: those movies in one capacity. And I'm not sure what
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: that is yet, so when I figure it out, I'll
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: let you know.
• 3:05
  Speaker 8: Did it ruin it when that Depp character came horning
• 3:08
  Speaker 8: his way out?
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, it was a bit offensive when he
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: portrayed an albino.
• 3:13
  Speaker 8: As an albino, I feel offended.
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: You should.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: I just thought they were, I mean, it was dark.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: It was really dark. And I really like the newt
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: scaremander character, even though I hate what's-his-face. He's like that
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: other guy waiting to happen.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: What?
• 3:31
  Speaker 8: Does anyone out there speak Gina?
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: What do you mean?
• 3:34
  Speaker 8: Please translate for us.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: He's like Sherlock Holmes waiting to happen.
• 3:37
  Speaker 8: That dude.
• 3:39
  Speaker 9: Oh.
• 3:39
  Speaker 8: Robert Downey Jr.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: No, I like him.
• 3:42
  Speaker 8: He's good. The TV?
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Who's the other Sherlock? Oh, Cumberbatch.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: He's like a Benedict Cumberbatch waiting to happen. And I
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: also am troubled by him because every time I see him,
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: I think of his character in The Good Son. And
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: I cannot let it go.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: I only see Scaramander.
• 4:00
  Speaker 9: I don't.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: I see the guy in The Good Son who like
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: screws everything up. Well.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Holly Cog? I wouldn't trust that guy.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: No.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Let's get past that. Okay.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: So I like those movies. I love the critters.
• 4:12
  Speaker 8: I like, I mean.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Where do you find them?
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: In a briefcase.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I got it right here.
• 4:17
  Speaker 8: I got it in my briefcase.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Let me show you.
• 4:19
  Speaker 8: I feel like he's a Fantastic Beasts salesman. He's just
• 4:22
  Speaker 8: going to show up and be like, hold on a second.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Click, click.
• 4:25
  Speaker 8: And he opens it up and he's like, let me
• 4:26
  Speaker 8: show you my latest beast. And he pulls them all
• 4:29
  Speaker 8: out and does a nice little demonstration. And then you
• 4:32
  Speaker 8: have to buy them or you'll never get them out
• 4:33
  Speaker 8: of your living room.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: How come he's never shown us what nargles look like?
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: He's the magical British Jack Hanna.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 4:42
  Speaker 8: So somewhere there's a British Johnny Carson that's got him
• 4:44
  Speaker 8: on and there's some sort of fantastic beat crapping in
• 4:48
  Speaker 8: his hand. He's like crawling in Johnny's hair. He's like,
• 4:51
  Speaker 8: why do we keep booking this bastard?
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: There's another thing we need to make.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Magical Beast Jack Hanna, yeah.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, or like him on a talk show.
• 5:04
  Speaker 8: This is at least a skit. I don't know if
• 5:05
  Speaker 8: it's worth its own movie.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, it's a skit. Actually, a lot of
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: things are probably just skits that we have.
• 5:11
  Speaker 8: Probably, but we can't get those together either.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: A lot of movies should only have been skits.
• 5:17
  Speaker 8: Sometimes that's become, well, that's become an ongoing thing, I
• 5:20
  Speaker 8: keep saying. There's trying to decide what's the right format
• 5:23
  Speaker 8: for you now that we have so many that you
• 5:25
  Speaker 8: can do anything from a five-minute YouTube clip to a
• 5:30
  Speaker 8: full-length 90-minute movie to a 15-hour series, all of these
• 5:36
  Speaker 8: things are on the table if you have the right backing. Like,
• 5:39
  Speaker 8: you can do any of them. And, like, sometimes they
• 5:42
  Speaker 8: choose the wrong one.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: That's absolutely right.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: What you're saying is we just need to find the
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: right backing.
• 5:47
  Speaker 8: If you can find us some, like, full-on, crazy, rich person.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Netflix, Amazon. Yeah, I'll take any of their monies. I mean,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: they would pay you millions.
• 5:57
  Speaker 10: I know!
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: They'll just give you something to make some show.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Now, see, Google here lately has been.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Who owns YouTube? Has been... You what? Google. They bailed
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: on us, though. Well, they pulled out of our town.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: I don't understand the Google.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: I feel there's a larger story there that's taking place,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: which is that the Google corporate structure, the mothership, as
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: you will... As it will eventually be. Is saying, hey.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: These are great lofty goals. These projects that you have, these, this,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: this fiber cable, this YouTube, but you need to show
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: a profit. And these are starting to cash in.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Is it because Jeff Bezos is getting a divorce? So
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: suddenly he has to be more cautious with how much
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: money he makes.
• 6:47
  Speaker 8: I got to shell out a lot of money.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: Am I going to be a poor bachelor?
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Right. Well, Hey, to go back to, uh, The realm
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: of the muggles and the magics. I know that the
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: second in the series of the Fantastic Beasts was kind
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: of panned by the critics, but I liked it. I
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: thought there were some problems with it, but I thought
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: it was a good film.
• 7:15
  Speaker 8: Is it sad that I've lost track of how far
• 7:17
  Speaker 8: I am?
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: Eddie Redmayne.
• 7:18
  Speaker 8: That's a guy's name. Are we on the second or
• 7:20
  Speaker 8: the third one yet? No, we're on the second one. No,
• 7:22
  Speaker 8: just on the second. Okay, so that's when Depp showed
• 7:25
  Speaker 8: up and ruined Depp.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Well, Depp was in the first one.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: I think he was at the very end of the
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: first one.
• 7:28
  Speaker 8: Just as a teaser, though. Yeah. To let you know,
• 7:31
  Speaker 8: we're gonna ruin your movie.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Technically, the character was in it throughout the first movie.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: You just didn't see the actor until the end. And
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: that's how all of his performances should be.
• 7:41
  Speaker 8: Well, without Johnny Depp.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Now, Now, what was interesting about the first one was, or, well. Oh,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: I just had another good idea. God, who was the
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: guy that.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Colin Farrell.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Colin Farrell. So, the way that he portrayed Johnny Depp
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: portraying that character, or vice versa.
• 8:01
  Speaker 8: Was good.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: They were seamless in the way that they did that,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: which was very impressive, actually, I thought. Yeah. In the
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: first film. The second film, you know, it's a bit more.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: Because everyone knows Colin Farrell is the poor Irishman's Johnny Depp.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: That's a sad, sorry statement.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: I really like Colin Farrell. I think he's solid.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: He is okay. He's good. He's okay.
• 8:25
  Speaker 8: He's no.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Liam Neeson?
• 8:27
  Speaker 8: Let's not even go down that road. Yikes.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: He has a particular set of skills.
• 8:36
  Speaker 8: But can you see Colin.
• 8:40
  Speaker 8: I think I'm forgetting because it becomes the game. I
• 8:43
  Speaker 8: keep always putting Colin Firth into Colin Farrell films. I'm like, wow,
• 8:49
  Speaker 8: this seems really miscast. I'm constantly going the wrong direction
• 8:54
  Speaker 8: on those Collins.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: I always get Colin Firth confused with the guy that
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: hosts the news thing. Is that not Colin Firth? Is
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: that Colin Firth?
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: What?
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: The British guy?
• 9:06
  Speaker 8: The one that took over, like, the Daily Show?
• 9:08
  Speaker 11: No, no, no, no.
• 9:09
  Speaker 8: Not John Oliver.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: Not John Oliver. Let me find my phone.
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: Oh, no.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: Colin.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Go find your computer. Colin Hanks.
• 9:18
  Speaker 8: You're getting mixed up with Colin Hanks.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, is this a rapper? Get out.
• 9:23
  Speaker 8: I know we're in your house, but get out.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: Tom Hanks has a rapper son.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Ted Hayes. So anyway, I don't know. So anyway, so
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: the Harry Potter universe. The Potterverse, sure. Potterverse. Potter realm.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Potter world. Potter more.
• 9:47
  Speaker 8: Are you looking forward to going to it and immersing
• 9:50
  Speaker 8: yourself into it?
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: We did. We did. What is your take on it?
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: Oh, well.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: How is it to be in that world in your
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: real life? So last year, Gene and I went to
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Universal Studios.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: With your family.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: With my family. I'm sorry about that. Yeah.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: It was great.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: It got totally... Mixed reviews. But the Potter realm of
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Universal Studios was actually... And we went, let me preface
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: it by saying we went on the busiest week of
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: the year. Good call.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: And wait a minute, let me also say it was
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: supposed to be 80 degrees.
• 10:28
  Speaker 11: Right.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Was it? No, it was 46 to 50 degrees. I
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: feel like most of those are British kids anyway.
• 10:35
  Speaker 8: They're used to cold weather. So you're just supposed to
• 10:38
  Speaker 8: show up with that potter scarf on. Not these British kids.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: You're not British kids.
• 10:42
  Speaker 8: That's your problem.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: It's my potter scarf.
• 10:44
  Speaker 8: See? Exactly. But you're Hufflepuff, so nobody wants to.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Talk to you. But anyway, in terms of Universal Studios,
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: it was magical. I was totally skeptical, as all Gen
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Xers are, about what the series would be like, but
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: I was really surprised. It was amazing. I mean, we
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: were on the platform nine and three quarters. We got
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: on the train. We had a magical experience. We went
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: into Hogwarts. We had Gringotts. Et cetera, et cetera.
• 11:15
  Speaker 9: Oh, God.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: And the dragon breathes fire and.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: You can feel the heat.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: The dragon breathes fire. Especially when it's 40 degrees. But
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: it was supposed to be 80. So we got there
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: and we were like totally unprepared.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Diagon Alley, yeah. Yeah, so.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: And then they opened the pub and that made it.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: That much better. You can't remember anything after that. Yeah,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Butterbeer was half off. But in the staff there at
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Universal Studios, they know to recognize the houses by their colors.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: So they call you, hey, Hufflepuff.
• 11:46
  Speaker 10: Hey, Hufflepuff.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Get on the train, you idiot.
• 11:48
  Speaker 8: Get over here.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: No.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: And sometimes they'll have on their own. So they'll be like, hey.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. It was immersive and interesting. And I think
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: probably because we were there on the busiest day of
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: the year, We were surrounded by thousands of other Harry
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Potter fanatics, mostly children under the age of 15.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: That's not true because the parents were just as into it.
• 12:12
  Speaker 8: That's true.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: And that was like one of the cool things about
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: it is it was like the total like everybody was
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: into it. That was their parents, kids. And then we
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: left to go ride other stuff in the park. And
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: it was like, yeah, I don't want to be around.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: Not these muggles.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Regular people.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: You really did feel a difference.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Was it the King Kong ride?
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was like full of muggles. It was like
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: everybody was a John C. Reilly character.
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: It was.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: It was like we went through this totally immersive.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: And everybody was like, hi, and polite and nice.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: And then we went from jolly old magical England to
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: a jungle in America. Sweatpants.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: Sweatpants.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Sweatpants.
• 12:54
  Speaker 8: It's full of muggles.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: It was full of muggles.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. And it was muggles. It's full of muggles.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: There were a lot of Morlocks as well.
• 13:02
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Hal, please shut down society.
• 13:05
  Speaker 8: It's full of muggles.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: I would say that Eloy were on the outside of
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Potter world. But anyway, I did not feel as though like.
• 13:16
  Speaker 8: It didn't feel like a record.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: I read the books, but I still did not consider
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: myself to be like a... crazy Potter fan, but of
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: course now I am. I'm like over the top.
• 13:28
  Speaker 8: It's all comparative, I suppose.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: I'm over the top Potter fan.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: You have said, let's go back there.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I totally, and I would pay an exorbitant amount.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: And this kind of ties into our conversation.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: Why don't they open a Harry Potter hotel for that?
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: This kind of ties into our conversation about the conventions.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: And being so immersed in here. But that's something that
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: I can totally get behind paying for. That's what I
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: was going to ask.
• 13:53
  Speaker 8: Do you like the completely immersive experience of them calling you, hey, Hufflepuff,
• 14:00
  Speaker 8: get your ass over here? So much so that because
• 14:03
  Speaker 8: I know they're doing that with, they're making a hotel
• 14:06
  Speaker 8: that's going to be Star Wars themed. And everything, like,
• 14:10
  Speaker 8: people will be standing in uniform, and they'll be, hey,
• 14:12
  Speaker 8: rebel scum, get your ass in here.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 14:14
  Speaker 9: I love that.
• 14:15
  Speaker 8: But, I mean, I think they are supposed to be semi-in-character.
• 14:18
  Speaker 8: Is that going too far?
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: No.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Or is that.
• 14:21
  Speaker 8: I don't think so. I mean, that's Disney, but.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:25
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: The one thing Disney doesn't own yet is... Wait a minute.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Just give it time. They'll get Potter.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: It would be awesome if they did a... like Hogwarts,
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: where you could stay. I mean, that would be totally genius.
• 14:38
  Speaker 8: See, I'm surprised they haven't already.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: I am shocked.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Well, they have a section of Universal that they're still developing,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: so that may be coming.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: No, they've cleared out the old Dueling Dragons, which was
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: one of my favorite rides, and they're turning that. That
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: was something, but now they're.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Turning it into something else. There's a big blank area
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: on the map. A big blank area. Right there. That
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: there's construction going on. Here there be tigers.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: So I do, I love that total immersive experience. And
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: I think as a kid, that's what threw me when
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: you would go somewhere and you would have like in
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: your mind that it would be like that, right? And
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: you would be like, if you wore your Hogwarts scarf,
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: like if we had been kids and we'd gone to
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: Disney or Kings Island or whatever and you had on
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: the right scarf, some like pimply faced teenager wouldn't be like,
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: what's a puff, puff, puff?
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: They'd be like.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, right.
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: You know?
• 15:24
  Speaker 8: You're not tall enough to be on this ride.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: That is like a great experience.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: We had every excuse to go, oh, my God, this
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: is fucking crazy. I mean, there were thousands of people everywhere.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: And we were just like in line and we were like, okay.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: And yet, even that, considering it was charming- It was charming.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Every element of it was like perfectly choreographed so that
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: they made sure that people didn't lose their cool. And
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: when people did lose their cool, it was like, oh, well,
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: that person's an idiot. Get out, muggle.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: You're a muggle.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was very, very, it was a very interesting moment.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: It was an interesting psychological experiment.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: That said, I would say maybe go during February or
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: September when it's not quite so crazy.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: Because it was so crazy, all the shops were packed.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: Didn't they have Christmas decorations?
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was Christmas week.
• 16:35
  Speaker 8: Christmas features very heavily in the Potter season.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and so all the stores were because nobody had
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: dressed right so everybody was like buying shit i need
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: a scarf yeah and so you got in there and
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: it was just like oh my god it's just like
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: the movie like it was just chaos of kids running
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: and trying things on.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: And yeah it was really fun yeah and uh.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: And we don't have kids but if we had kids
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: i could imagine we would have been like more into
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: it than our kids probably.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: Well we'll get our chance With what?
• 17:07
  Speaker 8: You'll take your cats there.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: They won't care. My nephew.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: They won't care. They'll like things like trucks and tractors.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: They're not... Truck world? Truck world. What's wrong with that?
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: There's a tractor convention actually happening right now.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: No, but I don't think they'll be into Harry Potter.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: Although they might.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: What if they did a Transformers world?
• 17:27
  Speaker 8: Oh, God. Yeah, I'm not saying I like those. But
• 17:31
  Speaker 8: I'm saying, yeah, we'll go with Bumblebee because I like Hayley.
• 17:34
  Speaker 8: So we'll... I'm trying to decide, will that kind of
• 17:38
  Speaker 8: experience work for all these different things?
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: No, it would work for Star Wars. It would work
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: for Star Wars.
• 17:43
  Speaker 8: It would work for Star Trek.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: And it would work for Star Trek. It works for
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: Harry Potter.
• 17:46
  Speaker 8: But, I'm like, as a previous reference that you made
• 17:49
  Speaker 8: in the past, Paul, would you like it if you
• 17:52
  Speaker 8: were in, like, Wireland?
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: You were immersed in the land of the wire. And, like, everybody, like,
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: talked to you like cops. I would love that. I mean, yeah.
• 18:02
  Speaker 8: So, I'm like, could you find a way to make
• 18:05
  Speaker 8: All of these different little.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Pop culture beaches.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: I would go and vote for Mayor Karketty. Into a land.
• 18:10
  Speaker 8: This would be an immersive experience.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go vote for Mayor Karketty. An animatronic Karketty.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Welcome to Baltimore.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: And a stringer bell.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: An animatronic stringer bell.
• 18:27
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Once again, why are we not putting this together? Start now.
• 18:31
  Speaker 8: Pooling the money right now.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: There's plenty of opportunity. Disney's already doing it with.
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: Star Wars.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: No.
• 18:40
  Speaker 8: Muppets?
• 18:41
  Speaker 12: Jaws?
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Blue people.
• 18:43
  Speaker 8: Oh, Avatar.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Avatar.
• 18:45
  Speaker 8: That doesn't count.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: Blue Man Group.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Disney's doing it with Avatar.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: Nobody cares about Avatar.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: I've heard that it's amazing. It's very immersive.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: Did you care that... I didn't care about Avatar.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: I avoided it for.
• 18:54
  Speaker 8: It doesn't matter.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter because I feel.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: And I have not seen it, but I'm saying reports
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: from the scene are that... This just in.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: On the scene, Paul Moeller reporting from Avatar World.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Reports are that it is an amazing immersive experience that
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: surpasses the movie. Even if you hate Avatar? That's what
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: I was going to say.
• 19:19
  Speaker 8: What if he... I feel like that's almost the way
• 19:21
  Speaker 8: Cameron has always been. He always gets so immersed in
• 19:25
  Speaker 8: his ideas, at least... from Aliens, True Lies on.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: By the time he went to Underwater, by.
• 19:36
  Speaker 8: The time he hit Abyss, he was obsessed with the Underwater.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Titanic.
• 19:40
  Speaker 8: So much so that he's making documentaries about it.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah then you get to like.
• 19:43
  Speaker 8: Titanic is kind of that same weird obsession so like
• 19:47
  Speaker 8: by the time you get to avatar like he's kind
• 19:50
  Speaker 8: of so immersed in this idea that like was he
• 19:54
  Speaker 8: even like way more invested in the idea than the
• 19:57
  Speaker 8: movie which is why everybody's just kind of like yeah
• 20:01
  Speaker 8: again if anybody liked the movie it's they would comment
• 20:03
  Speaker 8: on the technology involved they would be like oh this
• 20:06
  Speaker 8: is really cool you know this immersive experience, blah, blah, blah.
• 20:10
  Speaker 8: But nobody was like.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Man, that story was great. Everybody's seen the story.
• 20:15
  Speaker 8: It's been done a million times. So was he not
• 20:17
  Speaker 8: focusing on the story because he was way more obsessed
• 20:21
  Speaker 8: with the technology and creating this extra... He's just recreating Greco-Roman...
• 20:26
  Speaker 8: Or Dances with Wolves.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: And I do love James Cameron for that idea that he....
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: He goes above and beyond filmmaking.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: It's like it becomes a research project for him.
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: It does.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: He makes a movie, and that just happens to be
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: the thing that happens. But then he just gets so
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: deep into something. And I totally understand that and get that.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: Because you get lost in the world of whatever you're making.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: And it's not the product, it's the process.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: And I think that that is, I mean, in my opinion,
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: that is... great filmmaking where you have.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: But I think the movies can be terrible, but I
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: like what he does.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: True, but he is an artist.
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: You can't argue.
• 21:13
  Speaker 8: He gets that passionate because he's an artist.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: So I don't care for his things, but I like him.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Let's see if I can phrase this right.
• 21:20
  Speaker 8: I kind of want to hear where we're going.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: You can have a bad film and still be a
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: great filmmaker. Yeah.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of that, yeah.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: In that if you are completely immersed in the subject.
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: Matter, then the job is done.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: The job is done. And Harry Potter or Dirty Harry,
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: it doesn't matter. If you are immersed in that world
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: and you have escaped... Wait, I'm casting my own movie now.
• 21:58
  Speaker 8: Or it might just be on the internet.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Hold on. If you have escaped for, you know, an
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: hour and a half, two hours, then the job is done.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: You've succeeded.
• 22:11
  Speaker 8: But do people have to respond to it, or are
• 22:13
  Speaker 8: you just creating it? I mean, on some level, just
• 22:17
  Speaker 8: you getting it done is its own satisfaction.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: What do you mean? Does the maker have to respond
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: to it? Is that what you're saying?
• 22:24
  Speaker 8: Well, no, I was kind of asking both. I was like,
• 22:26
  Speaker 8: number one, I feel like it is just like, if
• 22:28
  Speaker 8: you can get a movie made, period, that's kind of impressive.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: Amazing.
• 22:33
  Speaker 8: But it's like above and beyond if you then have
• 22:36
  Speaker 8: people responding to it, if they actually do... If it
• 22:40
  Speaker 8: is an immersive experience, if you are taking them to like, again,
• 22:43
  Speaker 8: kids watching Harry Potter that first time, like it opened
• 22:47
  Speaker 8: up a whole new world, literally and figuratively for them
• 22:50
  Speaker 8: that like has gone on to the point that now
• 22:53
  Speaker 8: there is an entire theme park based around it. Like
• 22:56
  Speaker 8: that is something that really did kind of hit in
• 23:00
  Speaker 8: a weird way that like no matter how how good
• 23:04
  Speaker 8: the intentions were on that first movie, it surpassed that.
• 23:07
  Speaker 8: It is an immersive experience now.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: It's hard, though, to put the two against one another
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: because one was a book that was very cleverly written,
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: even though the stories are just like, we just keep
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: retelling the same stories over and over, but there were
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: so many subtle little things in it and they took
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: you to a different world by a woman who just, whatever,
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: she wrote it in a coffee shop. I'm sure there's
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: more behind that story, but... Then there's James Cameron, who's
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: made movies and then kind of made big enough movies
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: that he got a chance to make bigger and bigger
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: movies and to have the budget to get lost in that.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: From a different time.
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: But you know what I'm saying? So he has the
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: budget and the whatever to go on and experiment and
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: try these things. And I mean, you know, it's not
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: like he's making anything groundbreaking. Visually, yes.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Technology, yes.
• 23:55
  Speaker 8: I was like, technology-wise, he does always up the game
• 23:59
  Speaker 8: each time he does it.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Movie-wise, sometimes it's just a movie.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: It's just a movie. But I respect that even though
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: the movies are kind of creptacular, everything that he puts
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: into it and what comes out of that for the
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: next movie or whoever's making movies after that, it's like
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: an advance in technology. But to me, they're two totally
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: different things because one is this charming, it was a book,
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: The other is like a guy who's made enough money
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: to get to experiment. Like George Lucas, you know, like
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: he had an idea and now he had ILM.
• 24:30
  Speaker 8: I feel like that first Harry Potter movie wasn't made
• 24:33
  Speaker 8: by her. So again, you're still handing it over to
• 24:37
  Speaker 8: someone else to channel it through their vision.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: But she had the material. The material was there. He's
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: come up with the material and the movie.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 24:45
  Speaker 8: But there are plenty of directors who have also written
• 24:47
  Speaker 8: a screenplay and gone on to.
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: Well, and then that's the next thing I'm talking about.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, we're talking about like big budget stuff. Like
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: how many people struggle to make like a quality movie
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: that's not that.
• 24:59
  Speaker 8: All of them.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Most of them.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: Most everyone. But we're like, how do you touch on
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: that subject?
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: How do you find the... So I don't know.
• 25:08
  Speaker 8: Where do we want to start with? Do we want
• 25:10
  Speaker 8: to talk about the.
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm terrible at talking about anything but things where
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: things explode or whatever.
• 25:16
  Speaker 8: Well, no, but you're talking about.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: So you love Transformers.
• 25:20
  Speaker 8: I'll admit.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: Explosions, y'all. Explosions.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: I have enough emotions and whatever... that I don't need
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: to see touching emotional movies. I just want to watch
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: shit blow up. I've said it, and I'll say it again.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: I say it every time we talk about this stuff.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: So a billboard in Massachusetts, or whatever the name of
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: that movie is. It's not a movie.
• 25:40
  Speaker 8: Three billboards down the road.
• 25:44
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: Montana.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: That one. You don't want to see that one.
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: I like the cast.
• 25:50
  Speaker 8: Again, so my thing is, then do you put more
• 25:54
  Speaker 8: faith in the writing... For the film itself.
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: I do.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: That's what I hope for.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: Because I try to separate... I don't think that you can.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: Oh, well, no. If I just want to see things
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: blow up, I don't put any faith in the writing.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: I'm always shocked if there's anything that I'm like, oh,
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: human emotion.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: But... I feel like it's a marriage between the writer
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: and the director. Yeah, you definitely need both. You can
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: have great writing and a horrible delivery from a visual...
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: and it will not work you have to have both
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: of them working in concert start because again look how
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: many like attempts to make something that's supposedly a great
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: novel and then the movie goes wrong and you blame
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: it on the filmmaker a lot of times but i'm
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: like maybe this just isn't right for.
• 26:44
  Speaker 8: This like there's so many other elements that come into
• 26:46
  Speaker 8: play but people just want to put the book on
• 26:49
  Speaker 8: a pedestal. No matter what book it is, it can
• 26:51
  Speaker 8: be freaking Fifty Shades of Grey and somebody's watching that
• 26:53
  Speaker 8: movie going, well, the books are better.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, that's... bullshit.
• 26:57
  Speaker 8: Because it's an entirely different format that's unfair.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: Because that's total shit anyway.
• 27:01
  Speaker 8: That was why i used that i mean obviously you
• 27:04
  Speaker 8: can pick some great.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: Novel and be like well but it but it's a
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: different it's a different medium and you have to yeah
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: you have to approach it from a different angle that's
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: what i keep saying and it's it's a it's a
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: crap shoot.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: No maybe it's screen the screenwriter.
• 27:19
  Speaker 8: But that's that's a different version of that it is
• 27:22
  Speaker 8: still writing and I do think you need good writing
• 27:25
  Speaker 8: from step one to end up with a good film.
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: But some things just don't make a good movie a
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: great book does not necessarily make a great movie or.
• 27:32
  Speaker 8: The approach that you use like to me it's all
• 27:34
  Speaker 8: in how you decide to do it because you need
• 27:37
  Speaker 8: to make sure that it works as a movie because
• 27:40
  Speaker 8: no matter how good the book is you can't come
• 27:42
  Speaker 8: sit the book in front of the screen and let
• 27:44
  Speaker 8: people stare at.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: It for two hours It has to be.
• 27:48
  Speaker 8: Able to translate to film and you have to know how.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: To do that. Somewhere there is a waiting room for
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: screenwriters where they're like cycling through the guys who have
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: just failed. Alright.
• 28:02
  Speaker 8: Jack's out.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: They're probably stealing our ideas.
• 28:06
  Speaker 8: Every week on this show we come up with great
• 28:09
  Speaker 8: concepts for a screenplay and someone's going to steal them all.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: So I feel like I totally rambled then about James
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: Cameron and... Well, again, those are... I mean, you're totally right,
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: but in my head, they're two completely different creatures.
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: Well, they are.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: And also two completely different ways to get to the
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: final product.
• 28:30
  Speaker 8: But, again, are we just specifically going by those two people? Because, again,
• 28:36
  Speaker 8: the Potter isn't even one director. We've shuffled through all
• 28:40
  Speaker 8: these different directors over the years.
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: But there's enough material.
• 28:43
  Speaker 8: You can't... But again, are we going, I mean, Cameron's
• 28:46
  Speaker 8: writing four sequels to Avatar. So it's like if he
• 28:50
  Speaker 8: wants to make them, he has in his mind the material.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: But that's what I'm saying. That doesn't mean it's going
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: to be good.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: Doesn't mean it's good.
• 28:57
  Speaker 8: No, but does it mean those Potter books? I mean,
• 29:00
  Speaker 8: people can watch six and seven and be like, oh,
• 29:03
  Speaker 8: this is crap. And a million kids will say you're wrong.
• 29:05
  Speaker 8: But that doesn't mean for everyone it's always going to work.
• 29:09
  Speaker 8: It can't always be universally accepted.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: So I don't know.
• 29:13
  Speaker 8: Which version do we want to go with here?
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: See, I feel like.
• 29:20
  Speaker 8: Cameron, again, if we're at least going down the Cameron road,
• 29:23
  Speaker 8: I feel like that was almost his downfall as a
• 29:27
  Speaker 8: filmmaker for me because everything I responded to and really
• 29:32
  Speaker 8: thought worked well as a movie was before he got
• 29:35
  Speaker 8: super obsessed with the process and the technology. Because you go,
• 29:40
  Speaker 8: i mean terminator the first one i think is an
• 29:43
  Speaker 8: amazing story he came up with this concept followed through
• 29:47
  Speaker 8: it was great again taking someone else's idea i think
• 29:51
  Speaker 8: he came up with a great version of someone else's
• 29:54
  Speaker 8: idea with aliens and come back by Terminator 2. He
• 29:57
  Speaker 8: reinvents his own story. It's still a great movie. By
• 30:01
  Speaker 8: the time you get to the next one, he already
• 30:02
  Speaker 8: is knee deep in how do I go underneath the
• 30:06
  Speaker 8: ocean and film a movie and we lose him. From
• 30:09
  Speaker 8: that point on, I don't know that anything got that
• 30:13
  Speaker 8: good again.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: They're impressive.
• 30:15
  Speaker 8: Technically, they're impressive each time, but I don't know that
• 30:19
  Speaker 8: anything makes that level of a great story. Again, people
• 30:25
  Speaker 8: will Still love Titanic.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: I just think it's overly long.
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: Is that because... Like, Terminator was awesome. And then people
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: kept giving him more and more money. So, if he
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: didn't have the money, would he still be as clever?
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: See that?
• 30:42
  Speaker 8: Well, that's the thing. He wouldn't have the money to
• 30:46
  Speaker 8: be able to, how can I take this robot to
• 30:48
  Speaker 8: the bottom of the ocean and film a scene? He'd
• 30:51
  Speaker 8: be like, alright, well, I've got a pool in my backyard, um...
• 30:55
  Speaker 8: I guess I'll put my camera in a bag and
• 30:57
  Speaker 8: start filming this scene. Like, again, being poor makes you creative.
• 31:01
  Speaker 8: It forces you to come up with some way to
• 31:04
  Speaker 8: make this work. Where in his scenario, when you have
• 31:08
  Speaker 8: unlimited funds because your last several movies were a big hit,
• 31:11
  Speaker 8: suddenly you can be like, okay, I can create a
• 31:13
  Speaker 8: new technology so I can do whatever I want.
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: So was Terminator 2 the liquid cop movie?
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: And that's the most redneck way to say it.
• 31:24
  Speaker 8: But it was post abyss. So he was already, he was,
• 31:28
  Speaker 8: because he was testing that out because in the abyss,
• 31:30
  Speaker 8: the alien looks like the liquid crop. So that was
• 31:33
  Speaker 8: like the test market. That's when we started losing him.
• 31:35
  Speaker 8: he still had his good story in him to finish
• 31:37
  Speaker 8: telling his Terminator.
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: But it still was not as good as the first Terminator.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: The first Terminator stands on its own.
• 31:43
  Speaker 8: I think the first Terminator story is more interesting and
• 31:46
  Speaker 8: original because it's original.
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: And stands on its own.
• 31:50
  Speaker 8: And stands on its own. But, again, I think there's
• 31:52
  Speaker 8: an art form to being able to dive back into
• 31:55
  Speaker 8: your own material. To me, if you can go back
• 31:59
  Speaker 8: into your own movie, it's kind of amazing, which is
• 32:01
  Speaker 8: why I stand by Back to the Future 2. But,
• 32:04
  Speaker 8: anytime time travel it's rare but again it's rare that
• 32:07
  Speaker 8: you can go back into your own material and recreate
• 32:10
  Speaker 8: it and still do something cool and original with it
• 32:13
  Speaker 8: which is what i think he did with terminator 2 i.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: Don't know if i agree with you on terminator 2
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: but back to the future 2 yes it's really a
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: cool idea that's an interesting thing to say who took
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: their movie and made it better yeah and i think
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: that i don't know back to the future 2 they
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: don't ever show it But it's really good.
• 32:31
  Speaker 8: See, that's one of those on that one it's hard
• 32:32
  Speaker 8: for me to say it's better. Because I think that
• 32:37
  Speaker 8: first movie is kind of perfect in its own weird
• 32:40
  Speaker 8: isolated way because it stands on its own.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: I can watch Back to the Future forever.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: Then if you took Back to the Future 2 you
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: could still watch it.
• 32:47
  Speaker 8: You can add to it and it makes a bigger
• 32:49
  Speaker 8: thing by the time you get to the trilogy and
• 32:52
  Speaker 8: all of it. But yeah, Back to the Future is
• 32:54
  Speaker 8: kind of its own thing which is true of Terminator.
• 32:56
  Speaker 8: Like I think It exists in its own little world
• 32:59
  Speaker 8: until it gets circled.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: Back around by characters from that same world.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: What happens to Back to the Future and Terminator?
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: Collided.
• 33:47

  Speaker 8: So it is not only greatly appreciated, but it gives

• 36:38
  Speaker 5: Such stories as H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds and
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea have challenged mankind.
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: So today, man is successfully probing deep into the mysteries
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: of the universe. Can he penetrate the greatest mystery of all,
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: time itself?
• 37:05
  Speaker 13: It took the creative magic of George Pal and the
• 37:09
  Speaker 13: fabulous production know-how of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer to catapult you through time
• 37:14
  Speaker 13: into a world that is yet to be.
• 37:16
  Speaker 9: Why is it that we usually ignore the fourth dimension?
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: You see, we can move in the other three. As
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: the doctor said, up, down, forwards, backwards, sideways.
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: But when it comes to time, we are prisoners.
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: Inventor Rod Taylor's breakthrough into the realm of the fourth
• 37:30
  Speaker 5: dimension is defied by his friend Alan Young.
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: If that machine can do what you say it can,
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: destroy it, George, before it destroys you.
• 37:39
  Speaker 5: Every moment is a year, hurtling through the atomic wars
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: of the future on an incredible excursion into the unknown.
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: What are the people like? Ah, the shape of things
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: to come. It's lovely Yvette Mimeux. And what happens when
• 37:55
  Speaker 5: boy meets girl thousands of years hence?
• 37:58
  Speaker 8: How do they wear their hair?
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: Who?
• 38:02
  Speaker 8: The women of your time.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: Up like that? Show me.
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: Is this the human race of the future? Or is
• 38:10
  Speaker 5: this the Morlocks, fiendish creatures who live in a weird
• 38:14
  Speaker 5: underground world? and the Eloi, the tranquil sunshine people, who
• 38:19
  Speaker 5: the Morlocks dominate and maintain like cattle, luring them below
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: with the hypnotic wail of the sirens, to feed upon
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: them in cannibalistic horror.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: Observe the laws of your city, state, and nation.
• 38:39
  Speaker 6: They exist to protect the rights and freedoms of everyone.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: In the mood for hot coffee? When you are, nothing.

• 41:17
  Speaker 13: It's showtime.
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: Real quick fact check here to bring us back to
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: Harry Potter. There was actually only... one screenwriter for all
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: of the Harry Potter films, except for one of the films,
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: which was the fifth one, the middle one. Huh.
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: They had different directors all over the place, though.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: Well, the last half was one. The screenwriter remained the same.
• 42:04
  Speaker 8: We had two that were the same, then we had
• 42:07
  Speaker 8: one off, one off, and then from that point on,
• 42:09
  Speaker 8: it switched to one.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: It followed the Dumbledore timeline. As we all do.
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: Old Dumbledore or new Dumbledore?
• 42:18
  Speaker 8: We're giving up that old AD time and we're all
• 42:21
  Speaker 8: going with the new Dumbledore timeline. Except for China.
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: They have their own calendar. They don't go by Dumbledore.
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: I celebrate the year of the pig.
• 42:31
  Speaker 8: Year of the pig, year of the Dumbledore. Year of
• 42:35
  Speaker 8: the Hufflepuff.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: Hufflepuff. Hufflepuff. I found my Hufflepuff t-shirt the other day.
• 42:41
  Speaker 8: Did you?
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: I was wearing my scarf.
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: Nobody ever calls me out on it, probably because you're like.
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: Too, like, aw. Rich got me a Hufflepuff t-shirt. I
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: wear it religiously.
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: They got me one too. I don't know where I
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: put it.
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: You don't wear it religiously.
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: I don't know where it is or I'd wear it.
• 42:56
  Speaker 8: You would know where it was if you weren't such
• 42:58
  Speaker 8: a Hufflepuff.
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: That's true. If she weren't puffing so Huffle. Huffle. Such
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: a Hufflepuff.
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: Quit puffing so Huffle.
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: Anyway.
• 43:11
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I don't know.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: There's all kinds of different things, and it makes me
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: feel bad because I can only talk about big budget things.
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: In college, I would be like, did you see blah, blah, blah.
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: Did you see the Ark film?
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: And now I'm like, I just want to sit and
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: watch it.
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: X-Grinder. I saw X-Grinder 4.
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: X-Grinder 2.
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: Part 2. Part 2.
• 43:34
  Speaker 8: Starring Charlot Sheen. He's a French actor. You wouldn't know him.
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: You wouldn't know him.
• 43:41
  Speaker 6: You wouldn't know him.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: He wears a beret.
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: So I remember I watched like all these artsy films
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: in college.
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: And then, you know. Then what happened? I just watched
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: stupid shit. You just like watching things explode. It's like
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: I'd watch Dr.
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: Phil if Dr. Phil was a movie.
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: Dr.
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: Phil, the movie.
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: No, no thank you.
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: Judge Judy, the superhero.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: Stupefy.
• 44:02
  Speaker 8: So you just sit at home in the middle of
• 44:04
  Speaker 8: the day is what it sounds like. You only watch
• 44:08
  Speaker 8: things from 10 a.m.
• 44:09
  Speaker 9: To 4.30 p.m.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: I get to work from home, dude. Why do I
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: not get to do this?
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: I'm a latchkey kid.
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: Damn it.
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: No, I catch it in the afternoons when I can.
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: I take naps with my cat and watch Judge Judy.
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: I hate it. I hate it. The moments that I
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: am around during the afternoon, I do not relish. The
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: Judge Judy or the Dr.
• 44:33
  Speaker 6: Phil.
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: I'm interested in the plight of humans. More on Judge Judy,
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: because that's the plight of humans.
• 44:39
  Speaker 8: Judge Judy at least has a job and does something.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: But Dr.
• 44:44
  Speaker 8: Phil, I cannot.
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: I see it the reverse, actually.
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 44:48
  Speaker 8: Judge Judy is a symbol of corrupt pseudo-justice.
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: Sassy Jewish ladies with law degrees.
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: Well, that's fine, but she is very discriminant in her justice.
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: Whereas Dr. Phil is full of his mustachioed country colloquialisms.
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: Complete and utter idiot. Well... So he is compassionate, yet
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: full of shit at the same time.
• 45:31
  Speaker 8: And along these lines of the moron society eating this
• 45:36
  Speaker 8: stuff up, what I watched recently, I kind of, because
• 45:40
  Speaker 8: I want to get your take on my, which I've
• 45:43
  Speaker 8: heard about forever.
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: You rewatched?
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: I have not. This was the first time I'd seen it.
• 45:47
  Speaker 8: I like the creator. For some reason, never got around
• 45:51
  Speaker 8: to it.
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: Idiocracy?
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: I watched Idiocracy.
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: You watched it the other day.
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: I watched it this week.
• 45:55
  Speaker 8: And it is so true. And in a way, it's not, again,
• 46:01
  Speaker 8: I'm trying to be like still my normal film dork.
• 46:04
  Speaker 8: It's not a great film.
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: It's not a great film. It's a modern parable. But
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: it's so impressive the way that it, plays out all
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: the things that we're already going through.
• 46:15
  Speaker 8: And it's sad how long it's been already and it's
• 46:18
  Speaker 8: so much of it's already coming true.
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah we just watched it like what last weekend because
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: you said i don't think i've ever watched the whole
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: thing i was like oh my god you have to
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: see it it's a terrible film it's got its problems
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: it is a great modern parable for what we're living.
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: Through dac shepherd as the idiot lawyer I like money.
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: I like girls.
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: I like money. I agree. I don't know. It is disturbing, yes.
• 46:49
  Speaker 8: Because it's becoming true. That's the disturbing part is how
• 46:54
  Speaker 8: much I see parallels.
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: My favorite part, sadly, is the macho president with the wig.
• 47:04
  Speaker 8: Who used to be a wrestler who used to be
• 47:06
  Speaker 8: can you imagine a president formerly on the ww he's
• 47:12
  Speaker 8: on tv that's crazy also has a wig uh yes
• 47:17
  Speaker 8: i do and again i was like we are one
• 47:19
  Speaker 8: shade away from our leader of the free world coming
• 47:22
  Speaker 8: out and firing a gun in the air to get
• 47:25
  Speaker 8: us all riled up we're.
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: Pretty close to that now i mean there's a step
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: in between where somebody throws a shoe at somebody else
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: we already had that wait a minute yeah we already had.
• 47:38
  Speaker 8: That that that has to happen people have thrown shoes
• 47:41
  Speaker 8: at our president before don't think that's in congress in
• 47:43
  Speaker 8: congress not not abroad give it time throw a shoe
• 47:48
  Speaker 8: give a shoe there's that take a.
• 47:51
  Speaker 12: Shoot give a shoot take a shoot yeah I mean
• 47:54
  Speaker 12: I thought that it was it's just so funny like
• 47:56
  Speaker 12: all the corporate sponsorship and like everybody's clothing is like
• 48:00
  Speaker 12: just nothing but ads well.
• 48:03
  Speaker 8: I like that the TV is a tiny little window
• 48:05
  Speaker 8: around the advertising I'm like shit that's almost there now
• 48:10
  Speaker 8: I'm like there's.
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: So many things about that movie and I I didn't
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: like it at the time but I thought well it
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: has some funny things and as the years have passed
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: I've been like Oh, my God.
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: Yes. Now, we could talk about the future some more,
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: or we could totally dismiss that topic altogether.
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: And go- Because you think that it's hopeful.
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: Whoa.
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: No, I have a- That was a cat stampede through
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: the hall that just happened.
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: I have a version of the future that is hopeful
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: or skeptical- And then a version of the future that
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: is just totally sad.
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: Well, and this kind of goes back to the other
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: podcast we did talking about our shirts that defined like, hey,
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: you like Star Wars? I like Star Wars, right?
• 48:57
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: And now it's like people have their stupid brains.
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: You like Taco Bell? I like Taco Bell. You'll get
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: a Taco Bell. Bye, Taco Bell.
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: And you see people, if I see people in like
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: a whatever shirt, I'm like, what the fuck? Who would
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: wear that?
• 49:09
  Speaker 8: See, I was referencing Demolition.
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: I can't believe you.
• 49:12
  Speaker 8: Didn't get that.
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: I did, but it was fancy.
• 49:14
  Speaker 8: That was too fancy for me. Taco Bell was fancy.
• 49:17
  Speaker 8: All fancy is Taco Bell. All restaurants are Taco Bell.
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: Bell in the future. No, that's the thing.
• 49:24
  Speaker 8: It's that kind of stuff that I think was frighteningly
• 49:28
  Speaker 8: accurate because watching in these last, again, we're going through
• 49:32
  Speaker 8: this same span of time of these last 20.
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: 25 years of watching.
• 49:36
  Speaker 8: What television has become and then what everyone consuming television
• 49:43
  Speaker 8: has become and like i'm looking at these people represented
• 49:47
  Speaker 8: i'm like that is pretty damn close to where we
• 49:50
  Speaker 8: are sometimes and where we're headed i feel like like
• 49:55
  Speaker 8: the stupid people feeding on other stupid people and breeding
• 50:00
  Speaker 8: and making more.
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: Stupid people and i'm just like this is this.
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: Is real like this is what it's The whole thing
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: in there where they were like, the story of how
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: people were breeding exponentially. It was like the Onion article
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: where it was like stupid people breeding exponentially.
• 50:14
  Speaker 8: Well, it's true.
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: This brings up a thought that I had while I
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: was watching the movie. And that is that, and this
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: is a problem that I had with the film, is
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: a theory. But I kind of feel as though It
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: sort of misrepresented the progression of humanity in that That
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: is something... How are you hopeful? I do want to
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: hear your version.
• 50:45
  Speaker 8: Hold on.
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: That is something that is actually, and this is not hopeful,
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: it is something that has occurred throughout humanity's history.
• 50:52
  Speaker 8: We are dinosaurs is what you're saying.
• 50:54
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: We will lead to our own extinction. The same version
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: of idiocracy occurred in 1000 BC as it did in
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: 5000 BC. Did it?
• 51:03
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: But did it? There were fewer people. Well, again, just
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: a side. Numbers aside.
• 51:13
  Speaker 8: And we've kept going.
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: Numbers aside.
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: But I think that we're eventually going.
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: To start to not keep going. We struggled through.
• 51:19
  Speaker 8: That's because we're watering our crops with electrolytes.
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: That dark.
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: It's got what plants want.
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: Does it? Does it? It's got what plants need. That's
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: the only thing I thought was not accurate. Now, granted,
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: we got to the electrolytes fun comedy. But I'm like,
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: that society sucks.
• 51:40
  Speaker 8: Would be drinking Mountain Dew. There is no doubt in
• 51:43
  Speaker 8: my mind.
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: They would have no idea what electrolytes are.
• 51:46
  Speaker 8: The Society of Bros would be downing a lot of
• 51:50
  Speaker 8: flavors of Mountain Dew. But they wouldn't be worried about electrolytes.
• 51:53
  Speaker 8: But don't get me wrong, the electrolyte scene is pretty
• 51:55
  Speaker 8: damn funny.
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: What was the red Mountain Dew that they had for
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: a while?
• 51:59
  Speaker 3: Code Red.
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: It's still out there, don't worry. Actually, it was pretty good.
• 52:01
  Speaker 4: Is it? Oh yeah.
• 52:02
  Speaker 8: It's pretty good.
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: There was a band, there was a rap group called
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: Code Red.
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: I think they're still around because I sometimes see their like,
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: What is that?
• 52:11
  Speaker 8: They're drinks at the store.
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: No, the vehicle, the SUV with the graphic on the side.
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: Why didn't Digby have one?
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't know.
• 52:23
  Speaker 8: Get on that.
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: Probably because it cost more than $ 5. But now it
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: would be retro and you could sell your shirts at Walmart.
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: You could sell your t-shirts.
• 52:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Target.
• 52:33
  Speaker 8: People would be like, oh man, I totally like this band.
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: Name one of their songs. Well, I mean... They were cool, dude.
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: They were next to Code Red.
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: God, I should have brought this up when we talked
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: about this on the other podcast. But Paul had a
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: shirt from Target.
• 52:50
  Speaker 9: Oh, God.
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: And it was a Triumph shirt. He had a Triumph
• 52:55
  Speaker 3: shirt through Triumph.
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: The band, I'm assuming.
• 52:57
  Speaker 9: No.
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: Motorcycles. Oh, the motorcycle. The motorcycle. I was going for
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: the comic dog myself. This is a great story. This
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: is a great story.
• 53:05
  Speaker 3: Bachman-Turner. No, no, this is a great story.
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: Tell the story.
• 53:10
  Speaker 3: So we're hanging out. God, we were on vacation.
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: We were abroad. We were abroad.
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: No, we weren't.
• 53:16
  Speaker 13: We were.
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: Were we abroad?
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: We were. We were abroad. I was wearing it when
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: it was fun.
• 53:20
  Speaker 4: And my mom.
• 53:20
  Speaker 3: I thought we were at Hilton Head. That's not abroad.
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: No, no. Keep going.
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: Just tell the story. That's like the whitest thing someone says.
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: We were outside the country.
• 53:29
  Speaker 8: My mom looked at Paul's shirt. And I was wearing.
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: This shirt that said, What I thought said Triumph Motorcycles.
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: And my mom said, and luckily we were abroad, so
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: they would never notice. Mom said, your shirt says Mototercycle.
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: And it did. It said Mototercycle. Mototercycle.
• 53:52
  Speaker 8: And where did you get this shirt again? At Target.
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, Target.
• 53:56
  Speaker 8: I had more faith in you.
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: Sadly, I didn't notice it when I bought it. Spell check, people.
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: Spell check.
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: For like a year. What's worse is I looked at
• 54:04
  Speaker 3: you all the time when you wore it, and I
• 54:06
  Speaker 3: never said anything.
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: You were like, man, I like a good on a mototorcycle.
• 54:09
  Speaker 3: Can I get on the back of your mototorcycle?
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: It was great.
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: I love the wind in my hair.
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: And this was the big selling point. The wand in
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: my hair. Because I was into motorcycles. You had a Triumph.
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: I had a Triumph motorcycle. I was like, oh, that's
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: a cool shirt. And the shirt itself looked... retro and
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: aged and i was like.
• 54:33
  Speaker 3: Target eight dollars i'm in i'll take it.
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: Damn and then i find out as i'm thousands of
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: miles outside of the country that it doesn't actually say
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: motorcycle it says mototercycle i mean you are And it
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: was only because the kerning was off.
• 54:55
  Speaker 8: Those are fancy British versions of a motorcycle.
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: It was the kerning. It was the kerning.
• 55:01
  Speaker 8: It was the kerning.
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: They had to keep the kerning, so they had to
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: add an extra O and a T. You don't want
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: to roll off your kerning. The funniest thing.
• 55:11
  Speaker 3: Was my mom just looked up and was like, mototurcycle.
• 55:17
  Speaker 8: Well, she likes the spelling.
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: I don't worry about those things. That was a funny,
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: funny moment. Funny moment when I established myself as an
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: idiot American. No.
• 55:31
  Speaker 3: Israelis love you.
• 55:33
  Speaker 8: We also blame a little bit of Target. Probably your
• 55:36
  Speaker 8: wife as well who.
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: Didn't catch that. That got past your super smart wife
• 55:40
  Speaker 3: who didn't realize it.
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: You're supposed to be here to take care of those things.
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: My super smart wife did not realize it.
• 55:45
  Speaker 3: No toter cycle.
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, God.
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: That's good times.
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: So, yeah.
• 55:51
  Speaker 8: Anyway, I feel like, so again, what we're saying is
• 55:57
  Speaker 8: at some point, the idiocracy that we're living in will
• 56:01
  Speaker 8: completely collapse upon itself.
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: And then the only hope, really, because you said we're
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: looking to be hopeful.
• 56:07
  Speaker 3: Paul is.
• 56:08
  Speaker 4: I'm not.
• 56:09
  Speaker 8: Well, I'm being realistic once again.
• 56:11
  Speaker 11: Me too.
• 56:12
  Speaker 8: I'm realistic more than anything. When the cockroaches take over,
• 56:17
  Speaker 8: they will eventually be wearing Matoder cycle shirts as well.
• 56:21
  Speaker 8: Because eventually their society will also become dumb.
• 56:25
  Speaker 3: No, it would be cats and raccoons.
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: Oh, God.
• 56:28
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: They take over.
• 56:29
  Speaker 4: Thumbs.
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: Thumbs and meows.
• 56:31
  Speaker 8: And our alien overlords. Raccoons in particular.
• 56:35
  Speaker 3: There will be the great raccoon alien overlord war.
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: Don't forget crocodiles.
• 56:39
  Speaker 8: They were here before us. They'll just hang out.
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: They have their chance. I feel like they'll eventually, maybe
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: they'll see it.
• 56:45
  Speaker 8: This is our chance. We were napping there when we
• 56:49
  Speaker 8: saw those monkeys come rolling up. We were like, damn,
• 56:52
  Speaker 8: we really should have jumped on that. So maybe the
• 56:54
  Speaker 8: next will be like Planet of the Gators and like,
• 56:58
  Speaker 8: They will be upright and driving cars and mototor cycles
• 57:01
  Speaker 8: and shit.
• 57:01
  Speaker 3: Do you think the smell is bad as like a gator?
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: Mototor cycles.
• 57:03
  Speaker 8: Mototor cycles, yeah.
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: Mototor cycles.
• 57:05
  Speaker 3: Except they got those weird like long torsos.
• 57:07
  Speaker 8: They got a, you know, as time goes on, they'll
• 57:10
  Speaker 8: have to get a little bit longer arms so they
• 57:11
  Speaker 8: can reach the handlebars on the mototor cycles.
• 57:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, how come everything on a Richard Scarry book always
• 57:16
  Speaker 3: like fit humans but was made, had like motor cycles with. Anyway.
• 57:23
  Speaker 8: All I know is Lowly Worm is the coolest thing ever.
• 57:26
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying?
• 57:27
  Speaker 8: Because number one, he's named Lowly Worm. That's pretty badass
• 57:33
  Speaker 8: to go around that being your name and still being
• 57:35
  Speaker 8: super cool and wearing that hat.
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: And he drove a car.
• 57:38
  Speaker 8: Dude ain't got no arms.
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: Drove a car. Or feet. I don't know what we're
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: talking about. He had a foot.
• 57:43
  Speaker 8: He had one foot.
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: He had one foot?
• 57:45
  Speaker 4: He had a shoe.
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: Richard's scary.
• 57:48
  Speaker 3: You know, like the little.
• 57:50
  Speaker 8: But yeah, they're always like monkeys driving motorcycles and bears
• 57:54
  Speaker 8: with a truck. Sedans. So that's the future society we
• 58:00
  Speaker 8: want is animals to drive things and wear clothes like humans.
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, if I have an animal as my chauffeur,
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: I think that's probably the best scenario that I could
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: hope for, possibly, really. Really?
• 58:12
  Speaker 3: Because monkey would drive a clown car.
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: I would be okay with that as long as she
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: can get me to the grocery store.
• 58:17
  Speaker 3: I don't know if she could do that.
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: If you could pick which animal, what animal would it be?
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah. I mean, probably one of my domesticated animals.
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: You're just picking one of yours that you already know. Yeah.
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I've trained them. They know that
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: they need to come to me for food.
• 58:31
  Speaker 8: I'm concerned about my dogs driving me because I've seen
• 58:34
  Speaker 8: the way. In fact, one in particular, many times throughout
• 58:37
  Speaker 8: the day, I'll be like, watch your face. Like, Rams
• 58:40
  Speaker 8: is facing the things all the time.
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 58:42
  Speaker 8: Him behind the wheel of a vehicle seems really scary.
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: That's probably not a good idea. Maybe he's got a
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: vision issue that you need to address.
• 58:48
  Speaker 8: No, I think he has no concern. Like, he just
• 58:51
  Speaker 8: doesn't seem to give a rat's ass.
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: So you're just saying he's dumb.
• 58:55
  Speaker 4: No.
• 58:56
  Speaker 8: To me, that's different than just not worrying about it.
• 58:59
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 58:59
  Speaker 8: That's a different setting.
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: Do you feel as though that that's where we need
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: to be?
• 59:02
  Speaker 8: Because he's also gotten to the point, I've noticed, sometimes
• 59:05
  Speaker 8: I can tell him things.
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: I'm like, here, this is one.
• 59:09
  Speaker 8: I'm holding this coffee mug.
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: Mug.
• 59:10
  Speaker 8: I'll be like, don't bother running down the stairs because
• 59:13
  Speaker 8: I'm just going to get coffee. I'll be right back.
• 59:17
  Speaker 8: And there's times when he looks at me and then
• 59:19
  Speaker 8: acts like he's going to go and kind of comprehends it,
• 59:23
  Speaker 8: I'm guessing, and then doesn't. And I'm like, damn, that's
• 59:26
  Speaker 8: progress because he used to constantly... So I'm getting like
• 59:30
  Speaker 8: hand signals now and like visual props that he's starting
• 59:33
  Speaker 8: to comprehend. So I don't think that he's dumb, but
• 59:36
  Speaker 8: there is a level of like having no regard for
• 59:40
  Speaker 8: your own personal safety. That again, like toddlers, you know,
• 59:44
  Speaker 8: it's like, I'm going to walk off the side of
• 59:46
  Speaker 8: the sofa.
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: You can't blame them for being easily excitable. Yeah. Which
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: they also are.
• 59:52
  Speaker 8: Right, right, right.
• 59:53
  Speaker 3: I like to think about if like my parents' dog
• 59:56
  Speaker 3: could drive me to the grocery, that she'd be like, Constantly.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: And just honking her horn.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 8: Waving and honking.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 3: And like waving at people.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 4: Hi.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: Driving through houses. I'm driving. And you know.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 4: Hi.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: Gas station pumps.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 4: Hi.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 3: And then like maybe stop and then like punch it,
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 3: you know, and she'd be like, hi. So if you're.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 4: Green. Red. Green.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 15: Red.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 3: That's how I want to get to the grocery all
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 3: of our pets.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: That does not sound like a relaxing trip to the
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: grocery so if you could.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 3: Pick an animal that like or an actor or actress
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 3: that fit with your dogs who are your dogs.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: Oh lord.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 8: This could take some work that's a good question right.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah it's tough I mean People at home could be
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: doing this activity. You guys all work on this yourself.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 3: I'd like to know.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: What is the actor or actress that your animal embodies
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: or resembles?
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 3: We have Bradley Cooper, the cat, because he looks like
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 3: Bradley Cooper.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: His name is Cooper.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 3: Actually, it's Bradley Cooper, but he just goes by Cooper.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: His name is Bradley Cooper, yes, but he does not
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: go by that. This can be like a homework assignment
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: for everyone out there.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 3: And why is that?
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 8: Write in and give us your animals' personalities via film.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 3: Actor and actors. Send it to 1245.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 8: Just go to moviemeltdown.com. There's an email setting right there.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 3: No, but what was the address that everybody, the city
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 3: that everybody sent things to.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 8: In the 80s?
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 3: Lake Toluca.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: Or whatever.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 3: No, it was like Toluca Lake. Send it to 1111
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 3: Toluca Lake, California.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 8: Don't listen to her.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: Just email it to me.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 3: I don't ever listen to her.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: Or send it on Facebook.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 8: I'm assuming you've already befriended me under.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: My dumb name.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 3: I'll start a fake Facebook account.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: Your dad's.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 8: You're stealing your dad's Facebook account.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 3: Stealing my dad's Facebook account. Yeah, we got Bradley Cooper.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know. And Taylor Swift.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. He says kind of Taylor Swift-ish.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 4: But.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: That real skinny guy from the British office. I can't
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: remember his name.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: From Hello Ladies?
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: And the Detectorists.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 3: That's a different guy.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: Well, that's the guy I'm thinking of.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 3: That's a different guy. He's also in the Johnny Depp,
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 3: to bring it full circle, in the Johnny Depp.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: Pirate movie.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 11: Oh, right.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 8: Pirates of the Caribbean.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: That guy. Yeah, you're right. Yeah, he's a pirate. So
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: that's full circle. He's got blacked out teeth.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 8: There we're taking a theme park ride and turning it
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 8: into a movie. How come they haven't turned that back
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 8: into a theme park ride? Well, they put a bad
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 8: Johnny Depp model.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 3: I thought that was just him.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: Just loitering about.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 3: Yes, like I thought he would loiter.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: Sometimes he does.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 3: I thought he would just go and loiter.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 8: They kind of own him at this point. So like
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 8: when they ask him to come stand there and wave
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 8: to kids, I guess he has to show up because
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 8: I think I've seen him have to do that before.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 3: I think so. I mean, I think that's really like.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 8: But I think that was the only difference was they
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 8: threw a dummy looking sort of like Jack Sparrow at
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 8: the front of it. And he's like, hey, kids. And
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 8: then like you go in, it's the same dumb ride
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 8: from 40 years ago.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 4: But.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 8: But we're going the other way. Now we're seeing movies
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 8: become their own theme parks.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 3: And video games.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 8: So what movie do you want to become a theme
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 8: park that isn't already?
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 2: That is a great question. And one that I have
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: not thought enough about, but I am willing to explore
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 3: Okay, so I want the original Westworld, not the new
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 3: sexed up Westworld.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: The one with Yul Brynner?
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 8: I feel like that's the old way we would have
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 8: used that one too.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: Because Richard Benjamin was still getting laid.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 8: So that's pretty much what anybody wanted out of Roblox
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 8: is just something to have sex with. Which is kind
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 8: of why I keep shopping those Japanese websites as well.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 3: Well, and like actually, I don't. Westworld, yes. But to
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 3: tell you the truth, I preferred Future World because there's
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 3: this entire like Ren Faire thing. World, so Game of Thrones.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 3: Game of Thrones.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 8: I don't want the Renfrew.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: Game of Thrones? That's actually a no-brainer. You'd think it would, actually,
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: by now.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 3: I want a Game of Thrones.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: That's a no-brainer. It's probably going to happen.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 3: And I'd go and vote for Karketty. No, wait, that's
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 3: a different character.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: You're in Wireworld. Hold on. All right, so I would
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: vote for... Buck Rogers World.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 4: What?
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 11: And.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 8: Like the TV?
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: Beyond the Black Rainbow World. No! The TV series Buck Rogers.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 3: We live in that world. We live in Black Rainbow.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 2: That was for Clint Allen. TV series Buck Rogers?
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 8: Yeah, TV series about garage doors. Because I'm thinking if
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 8: we're going that level of Crazy Space Guys, how about
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 8: the Flash Gordon world?
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: Because the visuals in that movie are.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: Wait a minute. The visuals in that movie are amazing.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 8: If we could all kind of live in that world.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 3: Which was one with the Cylons and.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: Battlestar Galactica.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 3: Battlestar Galactica.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: See, that did have enough of a following.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 8: For a while, you could have.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: We might have to reboot it now. They did.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 3: I thought they did.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 4: Well, I know.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 8: That's what I'm saying. But it's been long enough. It's
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 8: time to reboot it.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you the other one.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 4: Stargate.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: But they built on the existing.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 8: They did.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: Thing, and you could redo it. Stargate World.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 8: You're the only one that would be there.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 2: Actually, I would totally be into Stargate World. The Office.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: I think that would be totally cool.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 4: Oh, God.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 8: I love that.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: Every day. The Office would... happen, actually. There's a suicide
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: that occurs every day in the office world. No!
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 3: Michael Scott carried on. Everybody can carry on.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: Michael Scarn.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 3: Threat level midnight.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: Threat level midnight.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 3: I would totally go for Game of Thrones.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Game of Thrones, that would be easy. That would
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: be easy for them to do. I mean, they've already
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: established that they can pull off a dragon breathing fire.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: That's Easy for a theme park to do. Yeah. So,
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 2: piece of cake, really.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 3: So, wait, what would the rides be?
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: Well, you'd have the White Walker ride, the Giant ride,
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: the Dragon ride.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 3: So you'd have, like, the North, you'd have King's Landing.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 3: Those would be your two park areas.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 2: And then you'd have your Swordmasters of Braavos. You'd take
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: a boat over to Braavos? Well, but there would be
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: some swordplay involved.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 3: But what else? There'd be nothing in Braavos.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 8: It would just look good.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: Swordplay. And the faceless man.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 5: Men's.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 10: Men.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 3: Women.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 8: Men without hats.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: People's. People without faces. The faceless thems.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 8: The faces.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 9: The band.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: The band. Would be there. They would have their own world.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 3: What did you do there?
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 2: What else could you do? You could do, you know,
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: the Kingsguard of King's Landing. You know, some sort of.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 3: No, you'd have like... I'm.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: Talking about the immersive... Yeah, but say it's just openings.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: You can't have everything. I'm not just about the rides.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: I'm about the experience.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 8: And I want to see.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: Immersing yourself in it. I want to see the Mad
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: King get murdered by the Kingsguard.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 8: I want to see.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 3: Wildlings wildlinging.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, wildlings getting stuff done to them. In ponds. Oh man,
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: I just thought of.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 8: Maybe the best one ever because it exists in a
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 8: time that is now gone. Can we have Warrior's World?
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 8: Where we all get to join a gang, and you
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 8: get some sort of cheesy vest to put on.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 3: So if you did that, you could- So.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 8: Then you've got merchandising, because you have to buy your vest, obviously.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: There was a video game for that.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 3: You could also do Escape from New York.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: You could do an Escape from New York one.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 8: And then you could do, we've got to make it
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 8: to Coney Island. We've got a whole, you've got- That
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 8: video game was pretty- Actually, it was pretty fun.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 2: Pretty wicked.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 8: Trying to think of cool movie tie-ins. That would be,
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 8: because it's also in a- a time and place that
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 8: isn't there anymore.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: That version of New York no longer exists. We're headed back.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 2: We're headed back there. I feel like we're a stone's
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 2: throw from smashing someone's face in with a brick.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 8: When the gators take over, they'll put it back to
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 8: the old ways, don't you worry.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 3: Times Square is still too squeaky clean for that. But yeah,
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 3: you could do The Warriors, you could do Escape from
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 3: New York.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: Then you could.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 3: Have Escape from L.A.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 4: Oh, God.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 5: Please.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 10: Plissken.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: You could, though. Well, though Plissken Be playing basketball Snake
• 1:09:02

• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: yeah He was totally fascinated With Snake Plissken Your dad was?
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 8: Yeah Both versions Your hippie Buddha dad? He was okay
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 8: with L.A.
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 2: Version I don't I mean You know He loved the
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: idea Interesting inject Snake Plissken into New York City to
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: retrieve the President of the United States. Or his finger.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 8: I love that idea. It is quite a pitch.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 2: It really is.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 8: How it got made.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: It was such an 80s thing. I thought that was
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 2: late 70s. No, it's early. Something like that.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 3: What about Oh God, it's the other Kurt Russell movie.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's a big trouble little China.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 3: Big trouble little China.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 8: No, I want to be an overboard.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: Overboard. Overboard the theme park. Actually, I love that idea.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 2: I think that's a great idea. You all can live
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 2: a lie and then like dupe.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 8: Someone into being part of your life every day.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: In some sort of swamp.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 4: Oh my God.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 2: Taking care of your children. Wait a minute. Swamp multi-child scenario.
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: Where you live in a shack and have to take
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 2: a shower with a bucket.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 3: Entertain this for a moment. What if there was Green
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 3: Acres World?
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 8: Does it come with a Gabor? Yes, you have a pig.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 8: Do I get to shack up with a Gabor?
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 4: Oh, no.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 3: I just said a boar, not a Gabor.
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: No, a Gabor. A Gabor. Hey, look, it's a wild Gabor.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: Is it psychedelic Green Acres or regular Green Acres?
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, it's last season Green Acres.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 2: Okay psychedelic really weird like i wound up in paris
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: green acres yeah it's.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 3: Or or porky hole but that may have been second season.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 8: Because i've been watching a good amount of dude and
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 8: again there was many a time when i was just
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 8: like that ava i'm telling you i'll move out to
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 8: the farm with ava but not jaja but not jaja.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 2: She's got her issues wait a minute which one was
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: jaja She was the one.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 3: That smacked a cop. If you could have, on one
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 3: side of the park, the Love Boat Island, and on
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 3: the other side, Fantasy Island. And you could call it
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 3: the 1980 Saturday Night Park. The Primetime Park.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 8: Must-see TV before.
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: Which side of the island would I be on?
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 3: You could do both. You just took the boat.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: Over to Fantasy Island. Yeah, but which one would I prefer?
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 2: You're clearly drawing a line.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 3: You don't have to pick.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: You have both. Why would you? Well, what's the question?
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 3: How about that?
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: How about that? How about that? It's not a question.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: It's a pitch.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 8: It's a pitch. Can I get money to put this together?
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 3: Can I make it?
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 8: Because I really want to.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: Fantasy Island or Love Boat? Boom!
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 15: You're done!
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 3: I'm going to start a second music festival. Going on
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 3: next to Ford Castle. And it's going to be, you take.
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 2: The boat from the Ford Castle.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 3: Over to Indiana to Fantasy Island.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, God.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 3: Where you're greeted by Mr.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 4: Rourke.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 2: That's my pitch. You take the love boat to Fantasy Island.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you take the love boat to Fantasy Island.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 8: I mean, I assume that's what you did every Saturday
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 8: night or whatever that was on. They were one after
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 8: the other. I assume you got to the Fantasy Island
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 8: by taking the love boat.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 3: And sometimes things were weird.
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 8: And there would be weird crossover-ish things. So, you know,
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 8: they'd have the same cast members every other week. Ian Murray.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: I never... I assumed.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 8: Charo was going to show up.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: Charo would show up.
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 8: At some point, either place, Charo would show up.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: Luke on her head.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 3: She just, cha-cha-cha-cha-cha.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: Cha-cha-cha.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 8: Cha-cha-cha-cha-cha.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: She still does that, by the way. I never got in.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, I had a passing... interest, I suppose, in
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 2: the Love Boat and Fantasy Island because we were of
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 2: that era, but I was more interested in other things.
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 3: We were kids, though, and Fantasy Island was weird.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was weird. It was kind of adult.
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 3: You'd be like, Love Boat's on. Oh, Fantasy Island's going
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 3: to be after that.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: Maybe Mr.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 3: Rourke is going to fight the devil.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 2: Both of them were weird, truthfully.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 3: And they were so weird.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 8: Again, Love Boat, even as a kid, seemed dorky. It
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 8: just seemed very boring and homogenized. But Fantasy Island was
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 8: at least weird enough that you're like, it's weird and
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 8: I do like that little dude.
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: He's really cool. I felt the other way. I felt
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: that the Love Boat was kind of like Isaac. Isaac
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 2: spoke to me. You know, he's the bartender. He talks
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 2: to everybody.
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 8: He did speak to you.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: He got to know all everybody's secrets. I think that
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: was very interesting.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 3: So I think I just caught that because it was
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 3: before Fantasy Island. Fantasy Island was like, weird stuff's going
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 3: to happen. Like there'd sometimes be some time where they
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 3: were just like, oh my.
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 2: God, what a square.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 4: All of.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: These parties. What a square. I don't know. But I
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: was all, I was waiting for whatever that show was
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: that I was waiting for back then.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 9: Manimal?
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 8: That was only on for half a season?
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: See, that was the thing. I would talk about stuff. Like,
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: to me, I thought Manimal was the coolest thing I've
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: ever seen.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 3: I told you all, I was obsessed with Bring Him
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 3: Back Alive.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 9: Oh, God.
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's no.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 3: I think that's a right one.
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: It's no Matthew Starr, but....
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 3: So, wait, there were two. There was the one that
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 3: was set in, like, Shanghai. Yeah. And then there was
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 3: the one that was set with the Jack Russell Terrier.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 3: Was that Bring Him Back Alive?
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: What about Tales of the Gold Monkey? Oh, Tales of
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: the Gold Monkey!
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 3: That was it! Bring Him Back Alive was the other one.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 3: Tales of the Gold Monkey was the one that I
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 3: loved with Jack, the Jack Russell Terrier.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 2: Both being rip-offs of Indiana Jones.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 8: Indiana Jones! Because it made money at the theater and
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 8: they went, how do we... Bank off this money for
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 8: our dumb TV network.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 2: 1985, Otherworld. Do you remember Otherworld?
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 8: What's the premise?
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: Family goes, takes a vacation to Egypt and takes a
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 2: tour of the Great Pyramid where they're in the base
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 2: of the Great Pyramid and they get swindled by their
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: tour guide and they're left in the dark. And then
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 2: they are transported to another realm because a solar eclipse occurs,
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: I think. Which happens, you know, when you're in the
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 2: basement of the Alamo. And they are transported to another world.
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 2: Other world. I don't remember.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 8: This, but I'm kind of sold on it already.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 2: And sadly, the real big sell is right there at
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 2: the beginning. And then there's no delivery. There's no delivery
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 2: at the end. You're like, oh, that's... Tales of.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 3: The Gold Monkey.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 8: That was the one.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: The dog. I can see why you like it. I
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: remember the guy with the hat.
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 8: Everything in that face. I just remember being so, again,
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 8: I guess because I was so attached to like that
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 8: Indiana Jones character that like everything that seemed like a
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 8: ripoff of that just annoyed the hell out of me
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 8: as a kid.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 3: I know, but that one was fun. It had a
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 3: dog in it.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 8: Again, now I might appreciate it, but at the time,
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 8: like anything, any of your ripoff movies.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 3: Bring It Back Alive was the total ripoff.
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 8: They were all just trying so hard to cash in
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 8: on it.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: Other world, other world. Let me try to find a
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 2: image that sort of captures the idea. Oh, God. There's
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: just nothing. Because it was only on for half a season, folks.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: None of them can.
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 8: There's some font.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: It says other world, all right.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 3: What font did they use?
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: What were their font choices?
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 8: It's pretty fancy.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: Wait a minute.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 6: Ew.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 4: Ew.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 3: Why would I like that dude? He looks like our
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 3: local newscaster.
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 8: I mean, he probably became that. Yeah, I do not.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 8: It just looks like a Land of the Lost with
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 8: a little extra money.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: Let me see it.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 8: Absolutely.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: It was Land of the Lost with extra money.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 8: Which I was a sucker when I was a kid
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 8: for some Land of the Lost.
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 3: Is that Jeremy Clarkson as the dad?
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 2: No. Though that's not too far off.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 8: None of them can compare to my other attachment as
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 8: a kid.
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 2: I would not like that.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 3: He looks like our local newscaster.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: But more masculine. Not mentioning any names.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 3: Or what city we're in.
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 2: The more masculine version of our current newscaster.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 3: That I used to work at. Not mentioning any names.
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 8: None of them can compare to my childhood attachment for Voyagers.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 2: Voyagers, yeah.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 8: I still feel like it's such a cool premise. How
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 8: we haven't rebooted and ripped it off to do a
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 8: new version, I don't know.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 3: Was it a movie? The Planet or the movie? It
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 3: was a TV show?
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 2: It was a TV show. I don't remember that.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 8: And it involved time travel, so I figured by now
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 8: people would cash in on that.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 2: Well, it sort of got lost in the shadow of
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 2: Quantum Leap. Yeah.
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 8: I mean, it is that something's wrong with the timeline
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 8: and we got to fix it idea. Yeah, so yeah,
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 8: they ripped that off from Voyagers, is what I'm going
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 8: to say.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 3: I did not see Voyagers. I do like Quantum Leap.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 3: My grandmother loved Quantum Leap for some reason.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 2: Everyone loved Quantum Leap.
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 3: She also liked Remington Steele.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's a new story every week. It's a new story.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 8: Isn't that how all shows work? It's a new story
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 8: every week.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 3: No.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 8: It's supposed to be.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 2: No, it's not.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 3: Heart to heart is. With an exotic location thrown in.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 8: This is a good topic.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: Shows that you can't just jump in on any episode.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: Name them. Game of Thrones.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. You cannot just jump in near the end.
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 3: You're like, what are they speaking?
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: Heart to heart, obviously. You can jump in on any episode.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 8: They're husband and wife.
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: They've got an established relationship.
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 8: It also depends if it was set up to be
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 8: one of those that more or less wraps up the basic.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 2: Story every week.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 3: Or every episode, yeah.
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 2: And then the next week.
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 8: So there are through lines that kind of continue and
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 8: grow a little bit over the seasons.
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 3: Wait, what was the question? What can you or can't you?
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: What shows can't do that? What shows cannot?
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 15: Oh, my God.
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 8: Dallas?
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 3: Are we going to do, like, throwback?
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 2: Well, it doesn't matter.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 3: Falcon Crest? Dynasty? Why am I doing 80s, like, nine
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 3: times soap opera?
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 2: Dynasty is a current show right now.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 8: Thank you very much.
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: Any soap opera-esque show?
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 8: Well, at the same time, isn't that what soap operas
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 8: were originally built on? The daytime version, which was you
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 8: just kind of halfway check in while you're doing the
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 8: dishes and you can be like, oh yeah, I remember her.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: She's the one that's hooking up with that guy. I
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 2: know what she did. I'm watching her. That's why the
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 2: old soap operas.
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 8: Really, usually you didn't move the plot forward for that week.
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 2: Because you could pick up any day.
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 3: Christmas could take a month and a half.
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you could pick up any day of the week,
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 8: and they're kind of still going through the same scene.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 8: And then the next week, we'd move a little forward,
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 8: but that way you didn't have to actually catch every episode.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 2: You'd still be able to see what was going on.
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 2: But there were exceptions to that idea in the 80s
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 2: and 90s. Obviously, General Hospital.
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 8: When really important things happen, like remember when they were
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 8: going to freeze Port Charles with a giant freeze ray?
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 4: What?
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 8: That's hardcore, man.
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 2: I wish I was making that up, but that's a
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 2: real thing.
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 3: I'd love to ask my aunt if she remembers that.
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 2: She will. Poor Charles.
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 3: How many weird pop stars did they create out of
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 3: 80 soap opera dudes?
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 8: Other than John Stamos, because I only know the one.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 8: Jack Wagner doesn't count.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 3: Oh, really?
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 2: What about... Oh, God. He was in a movie. Rick Springfield?
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 2: Rick Springfield. Riff Trax did the riff on... With the
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 2: kid where they're in the future military zone with the
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 2: thing with the gun and the thing. You know, that one.
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 2: That one. You know what I'm talking about.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 3: That one guy, but not that guy.
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 2: It's like laser zone or something stupid like that. I
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 2: don't know. I've probably seen Laser Zone. I'll look it up.
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 3: It's a weird thing that they created a few. The
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 3: fact that more than.
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 8: One- Did they create them or did it just happen
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 8: because everybody that- That just became a stepping stone. They're
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 8: all guys that are like, I want to be a
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 8: rock star.
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 2: But I need to get my face out there so
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 2: people can see me. So I'm going to go on
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 2: General Hospital?
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 8: So I'm going to go on General Hospital. I mean,
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 8: soap operas kind of were a stepping stone for actors
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 8: in general. So I think the 80s just became that
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 8: weird spin of like.
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 2: And we can get these musicians in there.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 8: And then they'll already have a built-in audience of weird
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 8: girls that come home from high school.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 2: And now suddenly you're the dreamy guy they want on
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 2: their poster.
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 3: I remember as a kid, I got confused because I
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 3: liked Tom Waits, but John Waits.
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 2: Those are two very different sounds, by the way.
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 3: There was something and they were like, a new song
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 3: by John Waite. And I was like, I like Tom Waite.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 8: Tom Waite ain't missing you at all.
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 3: But why didn't he do a cover of that?
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 2: I kind of want to see that cover. Why didn't he?
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 2: I ain't missing you.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 8: I kind of would buy that right now.
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 2: Right now I would buy that.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 11: Always.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that'd be awesome. Please, Tom Waits, please do a
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 3: cover of Missing You by John Waite.
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 2: I love that guy.
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 3: So, we watched Ballad of Buster Scruggs when it came out.
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 3: Have you caught that yet?
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 2: We've done an entire episode.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 3: Was I here for that?
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 4: No.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 2: I like that you're not sure.
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 3: You were not present.
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 2: His was awesome.
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 3: I think his was so fascinating because everything was so...
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 3: so dire in all of those, but his was like
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 3: the American dream.
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 8: That's what I'm saying. Like that became my favorite one
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 8: by far.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 8: And because it was so like kind of, Like, the
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 8: little world.
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 3: And it was.
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 2: Even though, that's what I said at the die.
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 8: I was like, even though he was busy, like, looking
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 8: for paradise. I'm like, look around you, dude.
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 10: Like, this is it.
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 2: This is it.
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 3: Like, you're like, you look at when they, like, go
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 3: into his segment. And you're like, whoa, where is that?
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 2: It's like a Disney.
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 2: Like, it's like animated.
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 8: Squirrels are going to fix your hair, Tom Waits.
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 3: It was amazing. It was beautiful. But then his was like,
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 3: it totally is like the American dream. Like, it gets,
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 3: he gets crazy. What you think is killed, and he
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 3: still comes back.
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 8: He just hit guts. He didn't hit anything important.
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 3: He didn't hit anything important.
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 2: The journey absolution.
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 2: With Mario Lopez.
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 3: Mario Lopez.
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 8: Okay, that doesn't count. It's Mario Lopez.
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 2: That's what I was thinking.
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 3: Did he have a pop career?
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 2: No.
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 12: No.
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 2: He wished he did. No, but, you know, it was
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 2: one of those... I'm in a gray area. I don't
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 2: know what I am. I'm going to transition into film.
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 8: Which is what led to his career now.
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 2: I don't know what to do with myself. What if
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 2: I just host stuff good enough? Like, let's do a
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 2: B movie that I think is going to be an
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 2: A movie.
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 3: But it was really a D movie. D.
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 2: And someday I'll just stand in front of him. What
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 2: does he do now?
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 8: He's a host.
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 4: Of what?
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 2: He hosts entertainment shows now. Entertainment Tonight?
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 3: Oh, like shows talking about other things?
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Other people doing real things.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 8: Again, I'm sure he's making a good amount of money
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 8: now because he also has his radio show.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 2: What? Yeah.
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 8: He has a long-running freaking DJ job. And on top
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 8: of that, has his hosting show that he's been doing
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 8: for years now.
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 8: You never know sometimes mario lopez rolls.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 3: Good being a mark maron isn't he supposed to be like.
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah tonight mark maron is interviewing crusty the clown.
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 11: Oh god.
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 2: I'm not sold on this marion character why.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 8: Do you not like mark maron because people give him
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 8: money yeah he gets tons of funding to do a
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 8: podcast how can i not be annoyed he's like.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 2: He needs a therapist.
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 3: He does.
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 2: I think he has a therapist.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 8: I'm sure he has a therapist. But he needs a
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 8: better one.
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 3: Well, he's my therapist. I like to think of Mark
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 3: Maron as my therapist.
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 2: You know, I think he does a good job. I
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 2: think he does a good job.
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 3: I love my therapist.
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 8: He died.
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 3: So now I've got Mark Maron.
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 2: This is why you're so unstable. At the very least,
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 2: he seems to be honest, which is more than I would...
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 2: hope for most therapists uh public figures.
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 8: Yeah but it's a podcast that changes all the rules
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 8: it kind of does at this point absolutely i totally
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 8: agree but you know i feel like he's coming from
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 8: a place also getting successful usually that means you have
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 8: to totally change things.
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 3: I don't know though i guess interviews are good and
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 3: i like that they're long like we.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 2: Do You're right. That's what I'm saying.
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 8: It's a different format.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 2: This is a man who has interviewed a former president. Absolutely.
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 2: There is a business side of this that you have
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 2: to accommodate. But that said, I feel like he's coming
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 2: from a place of, you know, I am an addict
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 2: and I have gone through a transition and I am appreciative.
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 8: I think it's still because it's in this different format, though,
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 8: that he has the freedom to do that. Like, if
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 8: he became.
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 2: Meaning? What do you mean?
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 8: Well, if he became sort of successful as a TV
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 8: talk show host, I still don't think... I think you'd
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 8: have to sand those edges off. I think it would
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 8: have to be.
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 2: A little more generic. It would be a.
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 8: Little more like your normal talk shows. Like, even your,
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 8: you know... Yeah, your old school Barbara Walters interviews kind
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 8: of got serious sometimes, but... I wouldn't say they ever
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 8: edged their way into edgy the way that weird podcasts
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 8: do sometimes.
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 2: To bring ourselves full circle. For good or bad. To
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 2: bring ourselves full circle. I don't think that that's the
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 2: world that we live in anymore. In that his claim
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 2: to fame is a IFC show that made him... I mean,
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 2: his podcast was popular, sure, but his IFC show kind
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 2: of really elevated him into the current lexicon yeah where
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 2: we say oh marin or some of us who do
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 2: but you know i that that aside i i don't
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 2: think the rules that applied 10 years ago apply to
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 2: oh no i think it is definitely different he's definitely
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 2: a he's breaking new ground or broke new ground but.
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 8: Again i think about five years could have only done
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 8: that because it was the the i mean the internet
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 8: in general and then what became podcast was essentially the
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 8: Wild West at that point.
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 4: You're right.
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 2: You could do whatever you want. You're right.
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 2: That's wild. this new format.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 8: That's why he became who he did.
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 2: You're right.
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 8: That's why he latched on.
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 2: You're right.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 3: But you can't fault him for finding his way there.
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's a funny dude. He's a smart dude.
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 2: And he had... I don't just like him, really. I'm
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 2: just bitter.
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 3: I actually did not like him. When he was a comic,
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 3: I did not like him.
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 8: I still don't know that he's overly funny as a comic,
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 8: but he did find a good place for himself. He
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 8: is good at talking to people.
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 2: I feel like.
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think his interviews are very good and he
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 3: gets people to.
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 2: What I enjoy about him, just to sort of put
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 2: some perspective on it from my point of view, is
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 2: that the.
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 2: His personal journey and how that has affected his interviews
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 2: with other people, it tends to be, not always, but
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 2: tends to be a place of humility and one where
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 2: he is... Not at all.
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 4: Really?
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 2: You don't think that he has humility?
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 8: No, no, no, no.
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 3: I think that he is a people pleaser.
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 2: I think that also... God be a people pleaser and
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 2: still have some humility.
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 3: And he's good.
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 2: And by that I mean that he has learned his
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 2: relative amount of humility. Not necessarily that he is humble
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 2: by our standards, but that he has gone through a
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 2: journey for himself.
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 8: I think he also used that journey as a foot
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 8: in the door in a way that put him way
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 8: in front of other people. And I think.
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 8: And I will give him credit for that, but at
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 8: the same time, he... You know, for the reason that
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 8: he jumped in front of all these other people that
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 8: were attempting to do the same type of show, only
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 8: he knew all these people to bring on his guests.
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 8: So that gave him... a really big advantage to people
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 8: that have no connection to all these big people.
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 2: So when he started, he already had an in. He
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 2: already had a leg in. And he already knew them all.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 2: Because he was already an established persona. I was going
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 2: to say, they already had connections.
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 8: So he would be sitting there, even in the early days,
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 8: talking about, well, 25 years ago when we were in
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 8: the comedy scene together.
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 2: But can we hold it against him? But that's what
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 2: I was going to say.
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 8: I will give him both ends. I will be like,
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 8: number one, he jumped ahead of everybody because of that
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 8: and he used that to his advantage.
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 3: Which is actually smart.
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 8: Number two, he used that to his advantage because he
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 8: earned his way there in another field.
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 2: So he really did log in all that time.
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 8: He did the work. In the comedy shop to get
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 8: himself to the point where then he could use that.
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 3: It wasn't like he was somebody that's parents that had
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 3: been involved in the comedy scene and they knew the people.
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 2: So Pauly Shore?
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he didn't just show up and say, hey, I've
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 2: got a microphone.
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 3: I think of him as my therapist because I feel
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 3: like he strikes on things that are very close to
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 3: home with me. And I think listening to him talk
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 3: to people Is, like, the way that I approach things
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 3: where I'm, like, not shy, but I'm pretty, like, quiet.
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm more of an observer, but if I
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 3: can get people to talk about themselves, which people love
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 3: to do, then it, like, helps that process.
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 8: I just need a platform and then I don't shut up, obviously.
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 10: Well, I mean.
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 2: In the real world, I don't talk to anyone.
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 8: On autopilot.
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 2: I need a platform.
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 3: I'm talking about having to do art shows and things.
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 3: That's very much a thing. I'm comfortable here.
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 2: This is us.
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 3: I'm married to you for how many years now?
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 2: Wait, when did this happen? 14.
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 3: It's going to be 14 years. I've known you for
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 3: 15 years.
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 2: About as long. I don't know.
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 3: It's very comfortable, but when I have to do things
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 3: where I'm talking to people or presenting myself, the easiest
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 3: thing to do is to get that person to talk
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 3: about themselves and Keep it going.
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 2: But there are other personalities online or broadcast that do that,
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 2: but he does it in a particular way that speaks
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 2: to you.
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 3: He's very good at that, and the way he does
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 3: it speaks to me. But I guess what I'm saying
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 3: is I think that it's a thing he's hiding behind.
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 3: But I think that.
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 2: And I'm just speaking, I've been listening to a lot
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 2: of Marin lately, but I think what it is for
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 2: me is that, you know, it is that personal journey.
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 2: It is who he is and the prism that he
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 2: is reflecting all of this stuff through.
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, whatever tool he's using is genuine.
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 2: I guess that's what I. Yes, it doesn't come across
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 2: as phony, although there are mechanisms of business that he
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 2: has to employ.
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 3: Right. So anyway, what do you think of Mark Maron?
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 8: Here's my question, and this will be your way to
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 8: wrap it all up and tie it in.
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 2: We have to wrap it up.
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 8: For this week. Is this where I ask you to leave?
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 2: No, no.
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 8: This is what I ask you. Would you be willing
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 8: to go to Maron Land? The theme park that is
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 8: built around the weirdness inside of Mark Maron's head. Well,
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 8: I mean, there's... There's going to be cats everywhere. There's
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 8: separate areas.
• 1:33:57

  Speaker 2: No. Addiction land. There's Jewish land.
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 3: Well, it's kind of like our house, but without the addiction.
• 1:34:11

• 1:34:13
  Speaker 8: comedy store.
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 2: Right, right. There's 90s comedy room.
