  Speaker 1: Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Large Ner Drunk Collider podcast,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: the podcast that's all about the geeky things happening in
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: the world around us and how very excited we are
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: about them. I'm Ariel Caston, and with me is always
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: It's been delightful.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Jonathan struct Good morning, Ellen. C.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: Have you been watching classic Robin Williams comedies?
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, with like a sad sentimental edge to them.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: No, why do you ask?
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Uh just quoted one?
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Because I quoted one? Yeah, I don't know why I did.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: I think it's because I came up empty on anything else.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: A fair fair enough, Like if you're.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Gonna if you don't know what to say, just steal
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: something that Robin Williams once said.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Today's podcast is brought to you by the
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: thunderstorm that is very angry outside my house.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: So oh that means it's coming for me. I haven't
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: heard anything yet.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's right now. I like, I don't wanna
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: so like I'm not superstitious, but I'm also like, what
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: does it hurt? I mean, Jonathan might disagree with me
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: because I am a person of faith, so but.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Hey, hey, hey, I am I am giving no judgment
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: here fair.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: But I'm like, so right now, it's it's all sound
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: and no fury signifying nothing, signify hopefully signifying nothing.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: We are here, we are quoting the Scottish play if
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: if you are at all superstitious, we're just compounding it
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: as we go along.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Uh So yeah, anyhow, Uh I wasn't trying to throw
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: you under the bus or anything. Basically, I wanted to
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: say that it's right now, it's just being angrily loud
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: and like, there's sun directly in my window, but beyond
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: that is dark, gray sky. But I hope it stays
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: that way because I live among a bunch of big trees,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: and if this episode cuts short, it's because I've lost power.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, here's hoping that that is not an issue.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: I knew we were going to be getting some weather
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: later today, but I didn't think it was coming this early,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: so I was not playing attention to Well, we have
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: a whole bunch of stuff to talk about today, but
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: a lot of it is either in our thirty seconds
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: or less, or it's in our Hey, this doesn't really
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: fit our show. So the actual show content I think
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: might be the shortest section of the day. But before
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: we get to any of that, we like to talk
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: about the stuff we've watched since the last time we recorded.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: I'm just gonna go ahead and go first, because I've
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: only got the one thing that I can think of.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: May maybe I've seen something else but I can't remember,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: But I watched a couple more episodes of Harley Quinn
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: I'm in. I'm in season four at this point, and
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: so now, like Harley has spoiler alert for the Harley
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Quinn series, if you plan on watching it, then you
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: haven't really gotten into it yet. But in this season,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Harley has joined the bat family and meanwhile, Poison Ivy
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: is head of Legion of Doom, and so they're in
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: a relationship together. So they're trying to figure out how
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: to make their relationship work along with their professional lives.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: And yeah, so it's it's still very entertaining to me.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: It's really odd to see their take on classic DC characters.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Talia al Ghoul has shown up on this one, and
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: she's I guess they were like, who can we introduce
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: who's even a bigger, like nothing can phase me cool
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: character than Catwoman was. But that's all, well, yeah, but
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: ca Catwoman comes in and she's just like, nothing phases her.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: And then they're like, let's do that again, but let's
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: do it with Talia Alghol is what it felt like.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Anyway, I'm still enjoying it.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: I do look forward to getting back to watching lots
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: of other stuff, including some stuff that is related to stories.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: That we have to talk about today.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: What about you, Ariel Nice, I've done pretty well despite
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: everything this week. I've done pretty well on watching geeky media.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: So over the weekend I saw Sinners, which was it
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: was very good. I went to see it with my
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: husband and a really good friend of ours, and they
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: both liked everything without the vampires better than the vampire stuff.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: And I thought it would be the exact opposite, because, like,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: my husband doesn't like period pieces very much, and he's
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: since clarified that it's he doesn't like period pieces for
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: the sake of celebrating the period, but he felt that
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: the story was beyond that. I understand why some people
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: said that the movie, like the few negative review got
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: reviews it got or middling reviews it got, said that
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: like it was maybe a little slow and that the
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: moral didn't hit home because the first third of the
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: movie is introducing the characters, and then the second third
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: of the movie is setting up. It's not really a spoiler.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: The movie takes place at a juke joint, is kind
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: of like the central location of the movie, so it's
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: all about that, and then the third part is the
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: vampires are in other parts of the movie too, but
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: the third part is like the vampire act. I thought
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: it was really good. There was one scene that made
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: me cry and gave me shivers that I could watch
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: a thousand times over. But the cast scene was really good.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I laughed at the beginning because there's one scene since
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Michael B. Jordan plays twins where there's like an opening
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: scene where one of them rolls a cigarette, hands it
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: to the other one, the other one takes a puff,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: hands it back, and I'm like, you guys are just
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: showing off, showing off that you can do this seamlessly.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: It was a very good movie. It wasn't as gory
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: or as scary as I expected. It really wasn't like
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: super graphic in a sexy way either, which can happen
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: with a lot of like a lot of vampire movies,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: because that's a big thing around vampire lore, and I
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: think the only thing that made it not as amazing
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: as it could have been for me was that it
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: was so like built up before I saw it that
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: I went in with very high expectations, so I was
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: watching it a little critically. That being said, it was
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: a wonderful time. I enjoyed it. There are two post
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: credit scenes. The music was perfection. I also played a
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: lot of Gates boulders Gate three, although I haven't made
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: it very far, and further, I haven't made it much
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: further in the game because it's been a lot of like,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: let me spend two hours trying to do this thing
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: and then realizing it wasn't worth it and then die anyhow,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: and forgetting to have saved. I watched the first two
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: episodes of Bondsman last night, which was the Kevin Bacon
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: dies and then Hunts Demons. That was gorrier then I anticipated.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: The first two episodes don't quite feel like they know
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: the tone they want to go for, but the person
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: playing Kevin Bacon's mother and the person playing Kevin Bacon's
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: dead self handler are both phenomenal, and Jennifer Nettles is
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: in it, so she's very talented as well. And then
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: tonight I'm gonna go see Thunderbolts.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Well, speaking of like post credit sequence or mid credit sequence,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: I understand that the Thunderbolts one is the longest one yet.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Oh interesting. I hope it's better than the Captain America
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Red Hulk one because.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: I still don't know what that is because I still
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: haven't seen it.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: But I know you said nothing, Burger.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: I know that's what you've say said multiple times and
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: I still don't know, Like I have no other reference
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: for it, which is fine.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: One of these days I will watch it.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, I can tell you because it literally spoils nothing.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: If you want to, oh, it's fine, Like let me,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: let me at least have something where I can watch
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: it and go like, yeah, I look forward to seeing Thunderbolts.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm going to get a chance
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: to see it this weekend or not. I hope I can,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: but that's definitely on my list of things what I
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: want to watch. I've watched a lot of the press
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: like rounds content for it.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: With like Florence Pugh and David Harber and folks like that, and.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: The lot of the commentary I've seen is that this
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: is perhaps the darkest of the Marvel movies so far.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: I'm well, I mean, I guess, like.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: If it means that it's even darker than say Infinity
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: War where half the universe is killed.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: I mean I haven't so. First of all, it's eighty
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: eight percent fresh critically, and then like ninety eight percent
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: fresh audience. The friends, the mutual friends that we have,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: I know, you don't see their reviews on social media
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: have said that it feels like Marvel has gotten back
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: to its roots, that the quipiness is very quippi, and
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: that it handles mental illness.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: In a great way.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: So I haven't heard like, oh man, this is super
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: dark from them.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean I've only can tell you from
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: what I've seen from the press tour stuff. Yeah, I
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: still am very much looking forward to it. You know,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: I'm hopeful that it'll be a really entertaining film, and yeah,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: I I can't wait to see how it plays out. Like,
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: I love that I know a lot about it without
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: actually knowing how the narrative unfolds, which is nice.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: I know I'm going to find Red Guardian really funny,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: and I know that Yelena is going to have a
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: lot of emotional struggles because that's Florence Peugh's like Wheelhouse.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: She I think she said that she would never do
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: like anything like Midsommar again.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Though, yeah, Midsommar was hard man. That's a that the
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: opening of that movie destroys me.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Apparently it destroyed her too.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: So well.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: I mean you can tell on screen like she leaves
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: it all on screen and it's just heartbreakingly brutal. Anyway,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: looking forward to hearing what you think about Thunderbolts, hoping
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: that I get a chance to see it too, I
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: guess we should move right on into what in our notes.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: I just noticed this, even though it's been like this
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: for ages. In our notes, our lineup it says sixty
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: seconds or less. Now it does not, but we say
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: thirty seconds or less.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Even when did that happen, because like on the template
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: it's thirty seconds.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: I don't know, but weeks back it says sixty seconds
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: or less. I went back and.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Looked at a few older lineups to see because I
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: thought you had done it as like a joke or something,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: but it's been there for a while.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't I don't know. I'm going back and
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: changing it in the next couple so that it's correct
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: moving forward.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Well, okay, yeah, yeah, okay, we're gonna do our thirty
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: seconds or less and I get to go first, So
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: here we go. The Hollywood Reporter tells us that Guy Ritchie,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: the director of such uber stylized films as Snatch and
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, we'll be directing Roadhouse too. Jake,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Jill and Hall will be returning as Dalton. Plot details
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: are being kept under wraps. My hope is that this
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: is the movie where Dalton learns that pain does hurt.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: That would be a good lesson.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Revenge of the Sith recently re released into theaters and
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: much to probably ben Afflex I can't even think of
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: the word probably, making ben Afflex sad. It's made more
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: money on its re release than The Accountant two has,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: and it has now become one of the top fifty
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: highest grossing movies ever. Kind of surprising to me because
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: it's to me it's not the best star.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: Worth really well known.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: Anything outside of four or five or six is oh okay?
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Anyway.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: The Wall Street Journal published a disturbing report about how
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Metta's celebrity voiced AI chatbots can be convinced to engage
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: in some very naughty conversations, even when the person chatting
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: with the bot is underaged. Meta said the journal's testing
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: methods were quote unquote manipulative. But I call bs on
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: that since the billions of real world Facebook users which
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: surely hit every variation themselves in the real world. But yeah,
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: I would imagine folks like John Cena and Kristen Bell
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: have to be a little uneasy about all this for sure.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: In news that Jonathan added just to make me sad,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: we've hit Avatar the Last Airbender's twentieth anniversary. I can't
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: believe it. I feel like I was much older when
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: it started, But that's okay. Anyhow. To celebrate, they are
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: updating their orchestral concert series that plays the music of
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: the show, which they launched in twenty twenty four, with
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: a cinematic experience, so now you can also go on
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: as as the Hollywood Reporter puts it, a visual journey.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Actually, they're doing a whole concert tour with an orchestra
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: playing the music live in various theaters, and I just
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: bought tickets for me and my wife to go see
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: it in September.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Nice I'm surprised you didn't take that story. Then, I
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: don't know. I guess I miss I missed that part
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: because Georgia Kits so many were playing the music to
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: this movie Things with.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: The Air This is one with a traveling orchestra as
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: opposed to the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. But yeah, now, the
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: reason I didn't take it is because I don't care
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: about Avatar the Last Airbender, but my wife does, so
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: it's a present for her, all right. Dev Pattel, known
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: for his work in films like slun Dog, Millionaire and
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Monkey Man, will write, direct, and star in a period
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: action thriller film called The Peasant. The movie is said
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: to be a revenge thriller with medieval nights roaming feudal
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: India in the thirteen hundreds, which sounds dope. Thunder Road,
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: the production company behind John Wick.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Will produce In Narnia news, we've learned that Greta Gerwig
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: has cast the White Witch. She's using Emma Macki, who
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: is an actress from the Substance which I didn't watch.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: We have heard news that Greta is not focusing on
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe because that's done before,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: so I guess that leaves the other story she could
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: be doing as the Magician's nephew. I'm not mad at that.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: I like the Magician's nephew. I hope that that's the
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: movie that she's making and she hasn't just fallen back
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: into line which in wardrobe territory.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: In our first bit about plays and musicals, Casting News
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: broke about an upcoming musical adaptation of A Wrinkle in Time.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: It's set to premiere at the Arena Stage in Washington,
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: d C. And will feature Amber Gray, who originated the
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: role of Hesephony in the Broadway version of Abystown, as
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Missus Watson, and Taylor i'mon Jones, who is Katherine Parr
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: in Broadways six as Meg Murray. The show opens on
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: my fiftieth birthday, June twenty sixth.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Yay, sounds like it might be a fun show. DC
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Studios has canceled the Sargent Rock film, not a huge
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: surprise considering how well they're their comic movies have done.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Outside of Spider Man's Marvel not DC.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Well, Oh, I guess you're right. Hey, I was thinking, Sony,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: that's really where my head went. Okay, So anyhow, DC
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: has canceled their Sergeant Rock film. It's still not a
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: huge surprise because they have had a lot of trouble
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: keeping like casting the lead, and it's kind of I
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: don't know, if you are a fan of the comic,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry for saying this. It's kind of a like
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: a not super well known one.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean it's like it's like like if
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: you were to do It's like if you're doing Gi Joe,
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: but you don't have the rights to g I Joe.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, or like Inglorious Bastards but it's already been done.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Well.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: In more musical news, Bob Martin and Rick Elise, who
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: co wrote the Broadway show Smash, which is based off
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: the television series of the same name from more than
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: a decade ago, are working on a musical adaptation of
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: cult film favorite The Princess Bride. According to them, the
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: project is currently progressing with the composing team. Considering the
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: mixed response I've heard from their other shows, I am
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: concerned but hopeful.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: I was not a huge fan of Smash, though some
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: of our mutual friends are very big fans. And then
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: in our last theater News and thirty seconds or less.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: The Tony Awards have announced their nominations for the twenty
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: twenty fifth Extravaganza, including I'm sure you guys are tired
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: of hearing me talk about it at this point. Andrew
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Durand has been nominated the person who I have done
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: some theater with in Roswell growing Up as a kid.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Nominated for Leading Actor in a Musical for Dead Outlaw's
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: that's the one based on McCurdy where it's kind of
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: like the first half he's alive, in the second half
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: he's dead, So it's vaguely weakened at Bernie's ish. They
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: probably wouldn't say that, but I'm saying that I haven't
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: seen it yet, as well as it's also been nominated
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: for Best Musical A Lot with Death becomes Her Maybe
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Happy ending, which is vaguely geeky because it has.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: To do with.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Android's artificial intelligent being intelligence beings something like that. And
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: then like Oh Mary Romeo and Juliet Dorian Gray Boop,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: which is about Betty Boop. Stranger things. Lots of geeky
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: things nominated this year.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, On an appendent note to that, I saw
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: just before we started recording that Redwoods, which is the
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: musical that Idina Menzel is in, is closing on May eighteenth.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Oh wow, Yeah, they didn't get nominated for anything. So coincidence,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: not at all, not even a little bit of a coincidence. Yeah,
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: that show, like it was it was like kind of not.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: It wasn't a surprise that it was announcing its closing.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: I think the surprise was that it's closing so soon,
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: like in a couple of weeks.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think because Broadway is my understanding is Broadway
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: is coming back, but it's slow, so it's still not
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: where it was pre pandemic. So I guess the funders
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: for the various shows are like, look, if it's not working,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: we're just going to cut our losses because.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, well, if it's more expensive to run
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: it than what you're making back, then obviously or have
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: a money losing situation. This is not unusual, by the way,
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: like Tony Season, whenever the announcements comes out come out
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: about who is nominated or what shows are nominated, that
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: always has an impact on.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: The Broadway itself.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Like if a show was expecting to get nominations and
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: didn't to see support kind of fade away.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: It's not unusual.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: There are some shows that absolutely count on having tony
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: nominations announced so that they can leverage that into more
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: ticket sales. So this is not unheard of by any
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: stretch of the imagination. One show that only got one
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: nomination and I hope does not impact the show at
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: all was Pirates the Penzance Musical, because I really want
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: to see it.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: It does seem it does seem like it's got a
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: very fun cast that is having a lot of fun
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: with it, like David Hyde, Pierce and Jings Monsoon and
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: the other guy who also seems like he's having a
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: lot of fun with.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: The Pirate King. Dude.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, like I've heard nothing but fun things.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: I actually listened to.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: I found that it was a promotional video that had
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: little snippets of it, and I was surprised to how
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: much I did not recognize because I am familiar with
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: the operetta, but this is it clearly takes lots of
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: liberties with the operetta.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: Now that that's a bad thing. It just I was
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: surprised at how.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: Many little moments I was like, oh, I'm very familiar
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: with this show, but I don't recognize that exchange at
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: all interesting.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes it fun. Well, I would say makes
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: it fun. But like I hate what they've done with
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: the rewrite of the Rogers and Hammerstein Cinderella. I think
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: it's such as it's really hindered the show.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it can go either way, just like
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: anything else. Right, Like sometimes you can, you can do
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: a revamp of a show and it'll breathe new life
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: into it. Sometimes all you do is alienate the people
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: who loved that show to begin with.
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: So same as it ever was.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: But yeah, that's that's our Broadway news. Well that's enough
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: of us chatting about Broadway for the moment. Anyway, Let's
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: let's transition over to talking about some of the stuff
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: that doesn't really fit our show necessarily. But we did
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: see some trailers and stuff that we thought were kind
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: of interesting. And first up is a documentary that's going
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: to come to Amazon Prime Video, all about the Humble Octopus.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Like at the Oscars there was a short film
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: or maybe a documentary or something that won an award
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: or got nominated about Octopus. So first I thought that
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: was it, But no, this is a more fun take,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: maybe because it not just focuses on octopus experts, but
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: also octopus enthusiasts, including Tracy Morgan. Yeah, because he owns one.
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Tracy Morgan.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: I think is gonna be kind of like I don't
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: I hesitate to say the everyman, because who the heck
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: can identify with Tracy Morgan, I don't know, like besides
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Eddie Murphy, who does an incredible Tracy Morgan impression. Tracy
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Morgan is kind of the host, and the narrator is
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Phoebe waller Bridge, so another like she's done geek stuff too, obviously.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: So the trailer looks really delightful, and I think it
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: starts on May eighth, So if you have Amazon Prime,
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: you can watch the Octopus documentary starting on the eighth.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: That looks fun.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Next up it does. I would I was gonna say,
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: I I think OCTOPI are super cool, but because their
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: life is so short, I don't know if I can
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: watch it.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm pretty sure they'll live through the entire special.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: I mean it's not that short. I don't know.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if that'll be true or not, Jonathan,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: because even documentaries like drama.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well we'll see or maybe you will but other
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: people will.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: They'll have to see you have to you have to
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: go to the website. Does the octopus die?
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah? Which is which is similar to fish doorbell
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: but sadder.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah? All right?
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Well, next up, HBO has an original film coming out
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: called Mountainhead Again. This one is kind of adjacent and
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: it's it's the story of a bunch of like tech
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: bro billionaires getting together like a luxury ski cabin resort
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: thing while the world starts to burn a round them.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: A little too close to home for me right now.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Then we also have a trailer for season four of
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Wrexham. I think I'm in season three right now.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: I loved watching it because I just needed some happy,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: happy stuff and I fell off for a while, so
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: I need you back into it. This season's going to
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: have Channing Tatum and Tom Brady, one of whom I
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: love and the other of whom I do not, So
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: that'll be exciting.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: That comes out May fifteenth. That'll be on FX and
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: also will be streaming on Hulu.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Look, get Jonathan overachieving with his release date. Notes.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: I actually took notes on all these because I know
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: that I'm the person who can't remember if I watched a.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: Trailer sometimes, this time I made sure.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Next up, we have a trailer for a movie called
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: deep Cover, which appeals to me because the premise is
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: so silly, where a police officer recruits three improvisational comedians
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: to work undercover in sort of a sting operation.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: I feel like this one possibly could have made it
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: into our general notes, quite honestly, because one, improv is
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: considered a very geeky thing, and two it has a
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: lot of geek actors in it. It's got Orlando Bloom,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: it's got Sean Bean, it's got who I know have
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: They've done plenty of non geeky things, but Lord of
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: the Rings alone.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: And then it's got Bryce Dallis Howard.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Yes, who was recently in like Argyle and Dress?
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: Was she in Jurassic Parker? Is that the other one
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: Jurassic World? She was in Jurassic World?
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Was she? Or was that Jessica Chestain?
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: No, she was in Jurassic World.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's right, because she took her shoes off in
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Argyle as a joke about not taking them off in
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Jurassic World. Yes, okay.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: And Nick Muhammad, who is in ted Lasso, He's in
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: it too, Yeah, but it's it's coming out on June
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: twelfth on Amazon Prime. And this looks very silly, like
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: they make a lot of improv comedy style jokes about
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: you know, doing the yes and response to things. Very
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: silly and I'm sure it'll be entertaining. Then we have
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: a trailer for a Max Original series called Duster.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: It stars Josh Holloway who was Sawyer and Lost, along
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: with Keith David and Rachel Hilson and Sydney Elizabeth. It's
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: like a nineteen seventies heist movie set in the South.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: It feels it feels vaguely like a black exploitation sort
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: of a vibe, but not very exploitative, so maybe just
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: seventies period.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's got so Keith David's playing a criminal named Ezra,
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: and Holloway is playing his driver, Gym, so kind of
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: like drive in a way, like kind of like one
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: of those movies where you know, the main character is
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: this very competent driver, and Rachel Hilson is Nina, a
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: cop who is determined to bring Ezra down. And it's
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: actually a series, not a film, but it comes out
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: May fifteenth, so pretty soon.
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: Jjre once created the series.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: By the way, I saw like the teaser for it,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: and I don't think it made it into our lineup.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Sorry if it didn't, Jonathan, I both forgot. But yeah,
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: it looks like a lot of it looks. It looks fun,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: unlike the next thing we doesn't fit. We've got a
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: trailer for which is forty Acres. I know Jonathan's going
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: to have more to say on this, but it's it's
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: The log line is in the near future, former soldier
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: in her family make one last stand against the vilicious militia.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: And it looks terrifying to me because in my mind,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: the scariest thing are people who do bad they like
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: because people as villains like that could actually happen. A
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: vampire or a sparkle monster that may not, but like
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: vicious militia are very real, and so there's an extra
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: level of terrifying.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: So this is scheduled to come out July second. It
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: already got screenings in Canada in twenty twenty four. It
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: is a Canadian film. The title forty Acres references, or
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: at least I believe it's supposed to be a reference
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: to General Sherman, who was promising freed slaves, they would
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: receive forty acres in a mule, a promise that was
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: never delivered. By the way, here's some ironic twist to
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: that particular tidbit. Apparently when the film was shooting in Canada,
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: some of the vendors who worked with the movie ever
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: got paid. So wow, yeah, yeah, I'm like, wow, you
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: have the audacity to name your film forty acres, this
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: famous thing about you know, restitution that never happened, and
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: then you don't pay all your vendors. That seems like
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: maybe you didn't learn the lesson that she's trying to teach.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Just a little sus well.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: But anyway, yet, Haylee Freeman is the main character, or
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: at least a main character in this and she's looking
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: after her family, and she's very justifiably paranoid, like she
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: does not trust anyone outside the family and is instilling
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: that into her family, like you cannot trust anyone from outside.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: We don't want to make contact, We don't want anyone
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: knowing we're here. We want to stay cut off because
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: that ensures our survival. That's essentially the vibe that's going.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: And then, of course, uh events escalate which require interaction
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: with the outside world, which is already like decimated. There's
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: there's very few people left.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: From what we can tell.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: We don't know what the nature of the kind of
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: apocalyptic you know, sequence was like, we don't know if
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: it's climate.
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: Related or war related or disease. We don't know.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: But that's really not important. That's not really the point
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: of the story. So whether that's a dressed or not
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: in the film, I don't think really matters.
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: It looks intense.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I'm sure it's going to be very good.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: I just I it might be Children of Men level
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: upsetting to me, as opposed to the next trailer, which,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: first of all, before like I read it, I was like, ah,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: there's a Diablo movie based off the video game. It's
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: not it. It's an action film and titled Yeah I
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: watched it, could I tell you anything about it? It
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: was an action film.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: That's that's where it fell for me.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: It's a punch punch kick kick martial arts Columbian American film.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Which, you know, a punch punch kick kick film could
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: also be like the the Internal Turmoil at the Roquettes,
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: a movie about like.
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: The rockets don't punch they do kick a lot.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: If there was internal turmoil, they might it would be
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: like a West a West Side story amongst the five
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: seven Rockettes in the five to ten Rockets.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: Well you're yeah, but you're okay anyway, I don't know.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: This is a movie that stars Scott Adkins, who people
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: who are fans of martial arts know who Scott Adkins is.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: He's one of those guys who's a martial artist actor
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: who has been in tons of movies. Marco Zeror is
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: also in it, playing a one handed unstoppable martial arts
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: machine like the bad guy. And from what I can tell,
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: the plot is Scott adkins character is kidnapping the daughter
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: of a crime boss, claiming that he knew and was
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: friends with this young woman's mother. And this unstoppable killing
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: machine is sent by the crime boss to go after
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: Scott Adkins's character and kicks and sue.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: It comes out June thirteenth.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I do like I like Scott Adkins. He's a
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: very good stunt actor. So a lot of stuff I
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: like it, just it just it felt kind of generic.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: To me.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: Well that's why I didn't put it in our main
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: because I know that sometimes we put martial arts films
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: in our main lineup. But this does feel this feels
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: like it's an action movie that the action is based
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: in martial arts. It doesn't really feel like a martial arts.
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: Movie to me.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Like if you hadn't said it was a martial arts movie,
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: it would not even have even pinged in my brain
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: as a martial arts movie.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of there's a lot of punch,
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: punch kick kick in the in the trailer, just so y'all.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: Know, punch face, you can go harder. So now we're
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: into our regular regular section of the show, irregular regular,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: it's fine, where we just talk about more trailers. Yeah,
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: that's all we're going to do this week. There's no
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: video game or like other geek news. We should get
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: some of that back in at some point.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I just I haven't been jumping onto that
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: largely because there's just been so much in the film
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: and television worlds. Thanks, it's just hard to But here's
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: the thing, is that, Okay, well before we jump into
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: all of these.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: It is it really is.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: The case that twenty twenty five is a year of
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: horror projects. And I think I know why beyond just
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: like you know, people kind of kind of responding to
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: the world around them. Because clearly, when we're talking about
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: people responding to the world around them, there's lag there, right, Like,
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: you got to wait a year to really see that
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: start to crop up.
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: So I don't expect yeah, yeah, I.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Don't expect to see the reactions to what is going
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: on in the world right now really playing out for
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: another year. But I think the reason is is that
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: Hollywood and streaming both have been struggling to find a
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: revenue model that really works. And typically horror movies are
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: lower budget movies.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: And I think we've talked about that before.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're lower budget movies and they have a pretty
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: good chance of getting a decent return, although a lot
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: of the movies this year have not seen that, Like
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: this year has been a pretty crappy year for the
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: box office. But I think that's why we're seeing so
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: many horror movies. It's studios saying, look, we're not seeing
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: a great return at the box office, so let's just
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: let's pump the brakes on, say the mega movies like
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: Mission Impossible, Franchise, that kind of stuff. Yeah, but smaller stuff.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, we touched base on that being a
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: possible reason when when we talked about how horror might
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: be the thing for this year. But it does, it
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: does seem to be like that. That's what's happening. Not
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: to say that all of the horror movies have a
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: tiny budget.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: But mostly like even the big horror movies tip typically
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: have a budget that's significantly smaller than say big budget movies. Right,
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: Like you might you might still talk about a seventy
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: million dollar movie. That's a heck of a lot of money,
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: but if you compare it to something like Avengers, it's
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: it's a drop in the bucket.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, and I think we can even see that
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: in the trailer for like Netflix is to Doom twenty
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: twenty five, which is surprising the first story on our list.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: They released the trailer for their to Doom event, and
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: most of the things that are on there that at
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: least would ring geeky bells to Jonathan and I are
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: things we already know about. We maybe get like a
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: tiny glimpse at the new Frankenstein, and we maybe get
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: a a tiny glimpse at the new glass Onion, but
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: everything else is stuff we've already seen.
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, new Knives, Out.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Yes, Knives Out, the second one.
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: Well this one, this one is Wake Up dead.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: Man, same genre, the new Benua Bloc.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: There we go, yeah, yeah, yeah, So this event is
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: happening on May thirty first. It's streaming live on Netflix
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: starting at eight pm Eastern five pm Pacific, And as
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: Ariel mentioned, the teaser just gives us real quick snippets
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: of stuff. Not all of it is even new footage.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: I think some of it is from like like Wednesday
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: look to me like it might have been from the
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: first season, but I could be wrong about that. But yeah,
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: we got quick clips of stuff like Happy Gilmour two.
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: Wednesday and Wake Up dead Man, which is the Knives.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: Out film, one piece, Squid Game three, which I'm really
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: eager to see. That's going to conclude the squid Game story.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: And can I believe it could have three seasons honestly.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: Well, the second one ended in a cliffhanger, so I
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: definitely want to see what happens Frankenstein, like you said,
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: stuff like that, and so we'll get we'll get more
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: information when that goes live on May thirty first. So
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: if you have Netflix and you're at all interested in
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: those things, May thirty first eight pm is when it streams.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: I'm sure you'll be able to watch it after the fact.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: If you're just a junkie like we are, maybe you'll
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: be glued to the screen when it comes out.
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: But I usually don't remember and I have to watch
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: it later.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we also got a Last week we talked about
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: the teaser for Weapons, which didn't show much. This week
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: we got the full trailer for Weapons as is want
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: to do. You know, generally, if you get the teaser,
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: the trailers not far behind, and it shows a lot
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: more of the story of what's gonna happen without really
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: telling you much about what is actually happening. It looks intense, y'all.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it starts off. I love movies that start off
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: with something like this. But it starts off with a
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: child saying this is a true story that happened in
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: my town.
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, oh, you got me already. I love it.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: And even though it's not a true story, of that
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: is making this just for you, Jonathan. Yeah, I mean,
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: I'm a sucker for certain tropes in movies and trailers,
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: and I love that one. But yeah, so it's explained
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: that all the kids in this one class at school
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: that's you know, led by this one teacher. All of
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: those children disappear one night. They apparently wake up at
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: two seventeen in the morning. I don't know how everyone
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: knows that that's when they woke up and they leave
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: the house.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: One has a nannycamp.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's hard to tell, Like it's hard to tell
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: when this movie is set, like what the time period is.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: It could also be because the narrator of the trailer,
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: if I'm recalling correctly, is a kid at least, like
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: you said, at least for the first part, right, yeah,
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: and so maybe that's a kid that got away.
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, supposedly.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: The first time I read a synopsis for this, it
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: was like all the children except for one. So maybe
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: it's that one child did not was able to resist
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: whatever this was. But two seventeen in the morning, they
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: all just started walking out into the night and then
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: they never came back. And the trailer itself, like that's
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: already a great premise, like super creepy, and like you
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: see shots of people in the town understandably demanding that
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: the teacher tell them everything that the teacher knows, but
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: the teacher doesn't know anything, like she doesn't appear to
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: have any connection to it, but you know, obviously, like
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: that's the one thing in common between all these kids,
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: so you can understand why everyone would immediately turn to her.
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: And then you see a bunch of short clips of
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: really intense horror stuff, like like surprisingly intense horror stuff.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, like it wasn't too much for me to watch. Again,
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: I because it filmed in Georgia, I know a little
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: bit more about it.
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: Than what the trailer shows did. Did it make you
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: want to take a fork to the face repeatedly?
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: I mean so, first of all, great stunt work in
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: the trailer. You can see a woman put a.
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: Fork to her face a lot.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: A lot. Honestly, it wasn't that gory, Like that scene
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: wasn't that gory, And it was mainly a camera angle
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: because if you actually are hitting yourself in the face
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: with a fork, it's going to be impossible not to flinch.
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: So yeah, but the the it's it was more about
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: like the how the camera was cranked right, like, because
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: I don't think it was running at a smooth twenty
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: four frames per second. It felt like it was under
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: cranked to me, which gives it that kind of herky
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: jerky fast appearance at least. I mean, it's such a
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: short glimpse that you get in the trailer, but it
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: was one of those moments like I think back to
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: The Ring, Like there's a moment in The Ring where
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: there's a corpse reveal early in the film. That was
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: a really effective jump scare for me. And most of
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: the time I don't like jump scares, but that one
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: really impacted me in a way that made me impressed.
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: And this little moment in the trailer kind of reminds
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: me of that. It's not so jump so much jump scary,
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: but exceedingly unsettling.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I really I look forward. It's got a
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: great cast, and I very much look forward to seeing
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: everybody like Julia Garner plays a teacher and one of
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: the main characters, maybe the main character, and just is
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: killing it in the trailer.
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: And Josh Brolin, right, he's in.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: It, Josh Brolin, Benedic Long, Yeah, some other people, a.
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: Bunch of Marvel people.
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: But then the longer Marvel goes, the fewer actors, the
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: fewer actors out there who are not Marvel people.
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure, for sure, this movie comes out August eighth.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: I definitely want to see it. I have no idea
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: who would go to see it with me because friend
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: of the show, shay Lee, she's usually my horror movie buddy,
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: but this is precisely the kind of movie that she
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: doesn't look like. For Aerial, like, animal endangerment is a
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: huge no no. Animal endangerment and cannibalism, two big no
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: nos for Ariel. For Shae, a big no no is
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: child endangerment.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, I do care about child endangerment.
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: It's just oh sure, I'm just saying, like, for shay
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: she can't. She can't watch stuff that is centered around
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: that at all because it impacts her too strongly, which
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: I understand. I think that you know and I think
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: it you both have been educators and caretakers of children,
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: so I mean it's a big understanding there too.
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: Me.
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: I'm a heartless jerk, So I will watch child endangement
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: all day.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: I think it is just a well, I won't get
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: into it. I feel like there's a level of helplessness
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: with a lot of animals.
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: Sure, yeah, absolutely.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: There's helplessness with kids too, but it's a different it's
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: a different thing to me.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, kids, if kids are terrible. It could be very
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: easy to blame the kid for being terrible. If animals
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: are terrible, you just think, oh, somebody has done something
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: terrible to you.
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I will need to read common sense media
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: about it. I might be able to watch this one
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: with you.
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: I'll let you know, okay, because yeah, I definitely want
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: to see it. And I have a feeling Becca Becca's
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: not a horror person. Like I think I'm going to
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: be able to get her to watch Companion, which is
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: not really a horror movie.
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: It's more like sci fi thriller.
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna in fact, i'm hoping we can
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: do that this weekend too. But I don't think I'm
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: gonna be able to get her to watch this. I'm
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: not sure the trailer, and I have a feeling she's
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: just gonna nope right out.
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: But we'll see.
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So I wish I had noped out of at
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: least at the time I watched it, the Alien Earth trailer.
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so like not that it was so horrible, but
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: it was very long, and I was like, so there's
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: a thing that Tony and I do. We'll sit down
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: for dinner and we'll sometimes be like well, let's see
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: what's new on YouTube before we jump into our show,
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: because there's a lot of YouTube stuff that we both
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: like to watch. I'm not gonna mention it because it's
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: very embarrassing, but I was like, well, let's watch this
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: the new alien TV show we were told a long
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: time ago when they first announced it is focusing on
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: Waiala Utani. So I was inspiring something cool and new,
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: and instead we just watched the the birth of a
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: new species of alien. At the very end of the trailer,
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: they're like, oh, wala Utani was behind this and like
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: manufacturing this, but it really still focused on the alien,
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: and I'm like.
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you see a lot of like cells dividing, and
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: then you see beyond that, you start to see lots
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: of UI guy stuff. Like I think about the creature
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: effects that were really effective in the early alien films
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: and this really reminds me of that. But it just
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: dwells on it for way longer than the movies ever did.
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's it's it's it's not too much, it's
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: just too long.
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: I don't have a release date for this yet. I
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: tried to look it up, but most most I could
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: see was this summer on Hulu.
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: I just want to see I just I just, I
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: just I just want to see a remake of Frozen
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: where it's the Xenomorph Queen and a predator as sisters
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: in a Frozen because like when when Disney bought everything,
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: there was this like meme going around that now Aliens
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: were a Disney princess, Like the Xenomorph Queen was a
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: Disney princess now because alien because Disney owned it.
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: Now well, I mean, just the whole this is a
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: Disney princess now. Joke has has gotten kind of old
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: to me, like the fact that people are like, well, now,
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: technically Anastasia is a Disney princess.
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: I'm like, no, she's really not.
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: She's not she's better than that.
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: She No, she's not better than that.
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: The music in Anastasia is banging.
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: I know that of your generation there's a great love
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: for the anaesthesia.
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: From the bar talk with.
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: And I am not a big fan of Anastasia.
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: Did you like fern Gully?
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: No?
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: I did not like Fern Gully. I did love Tim
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: Curry singing Toxic Love.
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: But you didn't like Robin Williams is battye.
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: No oh, My God and the Robin Williams rap as Baddie.
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: No.
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: I did not like that.
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: But you see, now we've brought in your your earlier
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: comment when started the show.
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, good good morning Ellen.
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: See Yeah, clearly good morning Vietnam and Fern Gully are
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: two of the same. Well, moving on, we also got
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: a trailer. I did not realize. I'm sure, I'm sure
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: maybe we even covered it, but I had no memory
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: of it.
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: I didn't know that there was going to be another
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: fear Street movie. So, uh, fear Street.
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: A few years ago, Netflix did a trilogy of fear
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: Street films, each one set in a different year, but
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: the three films had overlapping narratives that interconnected them with
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: each other. Also, I want to say that it went backward,
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: like the first film was the most recent year, and
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: then the next film was further in the past, and
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: then the third film was like in the sixteen hundreds
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: or something.
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: I had forgotten that Fear Street was a thing, But
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: now you're talking about it. That does sound correct.
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a I watched it and it's a you know,
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: it's kind of like teens first slasher movie kind of.
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, it is r l Stein, right, it is
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: based off R. L Stein's work, Yes, and I wouldn't
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: say like when it's one of those young readers series
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: where I'm talking about like young readers in the form
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: of young adults, like teenagers, not not like for kids.
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: Like this is definitely a step above something like Goosebumps
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: or Are You a Fairy of the Dark. This is
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: more intense than that. So We've got a trailer for
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: a new fear Street film called Fear Street Prom Queen,
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: So technically this would be the fourth film in the
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: fear Street series and obviously is taking an enormous amount
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: of inspiration from nineteen eighties era slasher movies. Yeah, also
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: also taking a lot of inspiration from Carrie because it's
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: it's prom themed and you've got like the whole prom
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: thing going on. You've got the mean girl who wants
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: to be prom queen storyline going on, so you got
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: a lot of those elements too.
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: It is interesting that when you get stuff like this
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: it so often goes back to like that eighties vibe
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: of it, because I feel like, if this is focused
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: at young adults, then the people who appreciated high school
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: in the eighties are no longer that demographic necessarily.
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's again, honestly, I'm surprised it's not a
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: nineties one if I'm being Yeah, totally. But like that
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: nostalgia thing, we see that in waves too, right, Like
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: when I was a kid, one of the biggest movies
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: to come out was the film adaptation of Greece the
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: musical Grease, and that was set in the fifties, and
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: I was born in the not the fifties.
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: Did you're in the seventies, Did.
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: You relate to that high school experience of the fifties.
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: No, because I was a child.
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: I had I had no high school to relate to
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: at all.
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: I was a child who did not understand the more
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: adult themes of Greece. I would not understand them for
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: many years. But anyway, like, I think part of this
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: is that the people who are making the stuff that's
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: the nostalgia nostalgia they feel, they feel nostalgia for the
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: nineteen eighties because that's these are filmmakers who are emulating
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: the films that they grew up with. That's what I guess.
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: I guess it just I would need to talk to
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: somebody who is currently like in high school and in
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: that place where this would super be in their wheelhouse
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: if they do still relate to it despite the several year.
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: Gap, Yeah, I don't know.
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: Like, there's so many there's so many horror movies that
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: have come out over the last like five to ten
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: years that have been set in the eighties where I'm like,
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: if you're trying to appeal to young people today, do
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: they resonate with this, do they care at all? Or
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: is it just like weird for them to watch? Because
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: if you're not, then just be honest with yourself, like, no,
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: we're aiming at the gen X crowd right now.
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Hey, if you're young and you listen to this show,
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: let us know, because I'm curious.
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: If you're curious about Fiar Street prom Queen. It comes
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: out May twenty third on Netflix.
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: The next thing, I was like, as I'm going through
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: this lineup, I'm like, did Jonathan tell me not to
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: watch any of these? But no, So I did watch
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: the trailer for a series called Hell Motel that will
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: be on Shutter, which is just a bunch of people.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: It's kind of clue but scary ish, where a bunch
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: of people get put into a hotel with that a
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: very famous murder happened.
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: In Yes, so I can give a little more context.
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: So apparently it's like this sort of satanic mass murder
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: event happens like thirty years ago in this motel. And
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: it's called Hell Motel, by the way, and it is
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: not I thought it was. I well, I was just
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: gonna say it's Hell Motel.
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: It is not.
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: Related to the nineteen eighty comedy horror movie Motel Hell.
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: And neither is it related to has Been Hotel as
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: far as I can.
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: Tell, well, no, it's not related to has Been Hotel.
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: First of all, that's a hotel. We're talking about a motel.
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: Oh you know what. Yeah, but I got the M
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: and the H like confused.
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: So hotel.
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: When I saw Hell Motel, I thought for sure this
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: was gonna be a reboot of Motel Hell. And I'm like,
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: oh my gosh, they're rebooting a cult horror comedy film
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: from the nineteen eighties. And then I watched I was like, huh,
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: this doesn't seem to be connected to Motel Hell at all.
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: And then I looked at him like, oh, it's not.
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: It's just Hell Motel. They probably wanted to call it motel. Hell,
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: but that name was already taken anyway.
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: But but cult movies do get rebooted. I mean they
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: were looking at making a Clue reboot that got rebooted.
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah maniac.
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah Wood was in that one. Yeah, a little of horrors. Uh.
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: Anyway, So this mass murder happens, the Satanic mass murder happens,
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: and then years later, a bunch of influencers, like true
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: crime influencers, are invited to come to this motel which
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: is known as this famous murder site, and they're going
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: to be like streaming from there and like doing their
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: influencer thing, except then the killing start up again, which,
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: you know, not a bad premise for a film. I
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: am getting a little tired of films that have influencers
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: as a character. There have been so many of those,
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: it's it's getting a little tired, more than a little.
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: But maybe this is a good one. I haven't seen it.
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: So the trailer looks intense, lots of characters who you
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: will come to hate and root for them to be
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: next on the murder list. This one is set to
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: come out June seventeenth on Shutter.
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: So yeah, so the next thing we've got is a
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: trailer for a movie called tim Travers in the Time
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: Travelers Paradox. The teaser was a little dorky. It honestly
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: felt like a B movie passion project of a bunch
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: of geeks, Like is it Tim McHale, Joel Joel McHale
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: and Felicia Day and Danny trey Hoe Danny trey Hoe
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: and and.
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: My man, he's in here twice this today in this
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: episode Keith David.
• 54:47
  Speaker 3: Oh is it Keith David, Keith David. Isn't it man, Keith?
• 54:50
  Speaker 3: Give Keith David all the work?
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: I love him anyhow. Yeah, it's it's it's a little
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: sci fi movie about a guy who uses a time
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: machine powered by radioactive material.
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: And like, yeah, stolen plutonium.
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know if that sounds familiar to you, a
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: time machine that runs on stolen plutonium and then the
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: people who had the plutonium are coming after it.
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: Does that sound like anything?
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: Run for it, Mary, Yeah. And then like it's weird
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: because he kills multiple versions of himself going through time,
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: but then he also doesn't, but then somebody else does,
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: but then they judge them on killing the other version
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: of themselves so quickly, and I'm like so the trailer
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: felt a little unbalanced. It does vaguely, It does vaguely
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: give me vibes of like John dies at the end,
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: just from the pacing.
• 55:48
  Speaker 3: It was giving me.
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: So it was giving me mash up vibes of Back
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: to the Future and Mickey seventeen a little bit.
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: But did you watch Mickey seventeen?
• 55:58
  Speaker 3: No? But I know how it.
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: I know the deal now. But yeah, so's he tells
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: about what the time travelers paradox is, and in this case,
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: it's like, so a guy builds a time machine, uses
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: the machine to travel back in time by like a minute,
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: kills his younger self, which means there's no way he
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: could have gotten into the time machine to travel back
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: and do it. So you've created a paradox, right, This
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: person who has traveled back cannot exist because of changing
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: the causality. And so you get the feeling that the
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: film is playing off this idea and explaining that somehow
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: that's not how time travel works.
• 56:39
  Speaker 3: Because there's like a shot here.
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: But there's like twenty of Tim Travers standing around talking
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: about they just plain forgot about the plutonium.
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, And then who plays Tim Travers?
• 56:54
  Speaker 3: I don't know. That actor, like, that was the one
• 56:56
  Speaker 3: actor I did not recognize.
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh, look, it's Felicia Days, Danny Treo,
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: it's my man, Keith David.
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: Samuel Dunning. I do like Keith David. I just missed
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: that he was in it. Yeah, Samuel Dunning has also
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: done The Equalizer and or No, that hasn't come out yet.
• 57:19
  Speaker 3: Stuff. Okay, cool.
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: So this, this particular film has already played on festival circuits.
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: So this is one of those that has just recently
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: secured distribution, and it's set to be released in New
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: York and Los Angeles on May thirtieth, and then we'll
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: expand beyond that, assuming that, you know, theaters are still
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: in business at that point.
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: Apparent. I hope that's I'm going to go see good movies.
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: Apparently it started as a shortened twenty twenty two and
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: then made it to a full length. So that's interesting.
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: I like it when those work. But man, like, sometimes
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: you go to see a movie where it was inspired
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: by a short and you're just like, wow, I can
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: see where the short movie was because that was the
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: one good part of this film and the rest of
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: it was adding night Swim. What was the one with
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: the hallway where the light like whenever the light is
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: turned off, you can see the silhouette of like a creature.
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: And then we turned the light on, it's gone.
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: I know what you're talking about. And I don't remember
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: the name of.
• 58:21
  Speaker 3: It, but it was.
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: That was another like YouTube short horror movie that was
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: incredibly effective as a short film and not so good
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: as an actual feature length movie, because it turns out
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: that's a premise, not a plot.
• 58:34
  Speaker 3: It's two different things.
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you're at least for horror versions of that,
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: you are more in the.
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: Know than me.
• 58:46
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: Next up is a trailer that Ariel added to our list,
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: and it looks really sweet and sad and gorgeous.
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a Korean film. It's set in twenty five
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: fifty in Soul. Is called Lost in Starlight, which follows
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: an astronaut, an astronaut and a musician who become friends
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: and then the astronaut goes to space and it's kind
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: of just this story about like being From the trailer,
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: it looks like being supportive of each other no matter
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: how far apart you are. It looks very heartwarming to me.
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like two people who fall in love or
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: or they're on the verge of falling in love. But
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: the young woman who is the astronaut is explained like,
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: we can't get too close because I have I'm obligated
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: to go on this mission to Mars, and so like, obviously,
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: it's that idea of if we let ourselves, if we
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: let our relationship grow and become more romantic, or just
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: even we just become closer as people. It's going to
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: hurt more when I have to leave, because I'll be
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: gone for a long time.
• 59:59
  Speaker 3: It's an animated film.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: Don't know if we mentioned that, but it looks really
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: like I love I love that they're taking sort of
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: a science fiction world. But it's not a science fiction like,
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: it's not that's not the focus of the film. That's
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: just where it takes place. It's really a human story
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: that's unfolding. And it looks very very sweet.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and the animation is beautiful, it's very colorful.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: I just I like it.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's coming out May thirtieth on Netflix. So I'm
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: glad that you found this because I did not come
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: across it when I was looking at trailers and stuff.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: I found two things that you hadn't already put on
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: the list. This I mean I found the things you
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: also put on the list, but you had put them
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: on the list before I could add.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: Them, So that technically you did three things. But one
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: of them I knew was happening already. I just hadn't
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: seen the trailer, which was the third ones, the spinal tap.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, yeah.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: But but hold on, hold off on that, guys, we
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: have another trailer talk about first.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: So the there's a trailer for Now You See Me three,
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: which is a magic movie, a movie about magicians.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the subtitle is now You Don't.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, honestly, I don't know what's going on because I'm
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: not for like, I watched the trailer. I'm like, hell
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: if I know what's happening, I didn't watch the previous
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: two movies.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a So all the films are about like
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: stage magicians doing typically some sort of heist kind of
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: thing and using their skills as magicians and illusionists to
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: pull off crazy heists. And in this case, it's a
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: heist where there's this this family that is like neck
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: deep in funding various illegal activities, everything from you know,
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: military uprisings to human trafficking like all this horrible stuff, drugs,
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: all this kind of stuff, and they use diamonds. They
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: they purchase and trade in diamonds in order to launder
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: their money. And the biggest diamond, the heart diamond, is
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: kind of the centerpiece of their their fortune. And so
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: the feeling I get is that these magicians are are
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: brought together in order to pull off a heist of
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: that diamond. There are a couple of returning characters from
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: previous Now You See Me films, played by Jesse Eisenberg
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: and Woody Harrelson. Morgan Freeman is also in it. I
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: wrote this looks dumb, well because.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: Also like maybe magic's real, maybe it's not. I think
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: one of the the Redheaded Woman, is also a returning character.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's supposed to be. It's supposed to be.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: The magic's not real. That these are stage magicians, but
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: they do stuff that is literally impossible to pull off,
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: like like that, the idea is that they're using stage
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: magic tricks to pull off these effects. It's just that
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: they're doing things that are just not in the realm
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: of possibility.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: Yes, but also in this trailer for the third one,
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: they're like, oh, we're doing this heist because a tarot
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: card told us to do so. Because this magic card
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: magic said.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: I think that's just whoever wanted to put them together
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: use the tarot card as the method of delivering the message,
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: and so like, it's just the trappings of magic.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think the position of the now.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: I say this as someone who also has not seen
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: the movies, but my understanding was that no, in the
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: fiction of the films themselves, it's supposed to be stage
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: magic effects and techniques that they use in order to
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: do their various stuff, and that it's just that it
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: turns out that's not exciting enough for Hollywood, so they
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: have to crank it up to the point where you
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: would never actually see this done on stage, because it's
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: impossible to do on stage.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: Would you say that they're cranking it up to eleven?
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: I would say they were a cranking it up to
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: eleven because this one goes to eleven because eleven is
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: one louder than ten.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: Which brings us to the next story, which is Spinyl Tap,
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: the original, not the second one, which.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 3: Is also still coming out this year.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah has hit its forty first anniversary, which, first of all,
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: I love that they're celebrating their forty first anniversary because
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: it's one more than a fortieth anniversary.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 3: That's very funny.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So they've re released the trailer, which is just
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: the spinal like bits from Spinal Tap, maybe just the
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: original Spinal Tap trailer.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: Remember it is just well it's not the original Spinal
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: Tap trailer.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 3: It is recut. It's not, but it's it is.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: All the bits from or all the bits in the
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: trailer are from the film cut of this is Spinal Tap.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: Because if you ever got the special edition DVD, which
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: I did have, I don't think I own it anymore.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 3: I think it disappeared, which is unfortunate.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: There was cut footage from that that was almost long
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: enough to be a film by itself.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: Nice. Well, they've released it, they've rereleased.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 3: It's coming out.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: It's going to be a Fathom Event screening event where
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: it comes out July fifth through seventh. So if you
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: want to see this as Spinal Tap on the big screen,
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: the original comedy film, July fifth through seventh, special theaters
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 2: through Fathom Events, they are doing screening, So I hope
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: I can do that. I mean that's fourth of July weekend,
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: so I hope I'm able to do it.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: I hope you are too. I forgot that Fran Dresher
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: was in that movie.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Frand Dresher's in it, Billy Crystal's in it, Dana
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: Carvey's in it. There's a ton of people, most of
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: whom have like cameos and stuff. Yeah, but there are
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 2: a ton of people who were who are really influential
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: in the world of comedy in various ways, whether it's
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: sketch comedy films whatever. Rob Ryaner obviously in it.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 3: It's it's a.
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: It's one of my favorite comedies ever, and it's it's.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 3: Really the film.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: Like it's not like it was the first mockumentary, but
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 2: it was a film that was really successful and kind
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: of served as the template for mockumentary movies.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't see Spinal Tap, I think until I
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: started dating Tony. Potentially, I don't remember it like in
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: my adult life was the first time I saw it.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: I think I saw Waiting for duff Men beforehand, and
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: I liked that one a little better just because it
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: was the first one I was introduced to.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 3: But yeah, see, I like, I think.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: Spinal Tap is objectively a better movie.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: It's got so many quotable lines. It also, I mean,
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: like one of the one of the stage acts at
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: the Renaissance Festival lifted one of the not just one
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: of the jokes, but a song from Spinal Tap.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 3: They did stone.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: Hinge, Yeah, which is a great song if you haven't
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: listened to it.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And they included a tiny little stone hinge as
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: part of their act. They would lower it from Greenwood stage,
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: which was not very tall.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 3: Good old days, oh yeah, way back when.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm looking forward to that. If you haven't
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: seen this is Spinal Tap, I recommend it. Actually, I
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: kind of recommend you watch it like on DVD or
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: something first, only because I worry for these big screenings.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: I always worry about people going in and like shouting
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 2: out lines and stuff and like that ruins it if
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: it's your first experience, right, Yeah, for sure.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 3: Something.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: I'm shocked not to go off on our bunny trail
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 2: or anything. But I'm surprised we haven't heard about any
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: fiftieth anniversary screenings for Jaws. Yeah, me too, because that
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: movie came out literally the week I was born.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: Maybe maybe there will be and it just hasn't hit yet.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: Could be we got a couple more stories and then
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: we're gonna be all done. So next up, we saw
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: a trailer for a documentary about the making of John Wick.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: It is called Wick is Pain, and I did not
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: realize that that movie almost didn't happen.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so, like at the beginning of this trailer for
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: this documentary, they're like one of the greatest action movies.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 3: Of all time. I wouldn't say that, No, neither would I, but.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: It was the first one was a lot of fun,
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: and it was a lot of fun because it was
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: a bunch of stunt people making a movie with a
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: lot of stunts because they.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 3: Were passionate about it.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: The story was fine, but like the behind the scene
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: of what we knew at the time was the most
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: fun part. Knowing that it almost didn't get made is
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: less fun but super interesting.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, if you're at all interested in what it
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: takes to get a movie made and like the sort
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: of things that can almost derail a movie, I think
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: this documentary would be interesting to you because, like it
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: looks to me like it includes things like producers falling
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: out with each other, which there was something else that
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: we've talked about recently where producers. Oh it was one
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: of the is the next Saw movie. The next Saw
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: film is in jeopardy because the producers for that film
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: had a big falling out and apparently can't find a
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: way to reconcile. And so it looks like the next
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: Saw film is not going to happen, or at least
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 2: it's certainly not going to happen on the timeline they expected.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: So this documentary, I think is going to give a
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: little insight into the sort of things. I don't know
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: how much detail they'll go into, but it looks like
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: it'll at least kind of give you a hint at
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 2: the sort of thing that can go wrong. And at
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 2: least with John Wick's case, they were able to still
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: get the movie to come out.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it looks very interesting.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this way it's weird because it's also going to
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: be on Fandango at Home.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 3: I had never even heard of that service.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: Oh you hadn't, No, Yeah, it's I think it. I
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: think I've heard of the service. I think it might
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: have been a production of the product of the Pandemic,
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: but I don't quote me on that because I don't
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: know for sure. The last thing we have is a
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: trailer dropped for season four Resident Alien. I've only watched
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: one and a half seasons of this, so I don't
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: know what's going on, and this trailer just reaffirms for
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: me that the show is just entirely a vehicle for
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: Alan Tudic to try to act as weird as he
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: possibly can.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 3: Which I'm all in favor of.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 2: By the way, I have no objection, like it's all
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: Harley Quinn. Honestly, like every episode of Harley Quinn that
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 2: has like Clay Face in it or Joker, I'm like, oh,
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: there's Alent Tudic being weird again. So Resident Alien, yeah,
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: I have I am. I need to get back onto
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 2: watching it because I was watching I don't think I
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: even finished the first season. I got decently into it,
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: but I don't think I finished the first season.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 3: I wasn't enjoying it. It's just one of those things.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: Where it kind of like I I didn't watch the
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: next episode, and then more and more time kept going by.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 3: But uh, this trailer spoiler alert.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: If you're wanting to watch Resident Alien, they haven't gotten
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 2: into it yet, but I got spoiled, so now you
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: get to be too. I'm sorry, No, no, I didn't
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: finish the first season, so but he he is apparently
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 2: jailed on the moon. And meanwhile, another alien shape shifter
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 2: has taken on his human form and taken his place.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 3: So now.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: The original Alentutic character has been impersonated by two different aliens.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: Because like the series opens with you discovering that this
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 2: Alentutic's character is an alien and has in fact killed
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 2: a human being and taken on that human beings form.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: You later find out that human being was a really
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: terrible person, but you don't know that at the beginning anyway.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: So the alien number one, the original alien, has been
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: imprisoned on the moon. Alien number two has taken over
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: his spot on Earth, which means that you get to
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: redo all the fish out of water stuff, right yeah,
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: because that alien has slowly become more and more familiar
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: with what it is to be human. But now you've
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: got a new alien coming in, so they get to
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 2: peak crazy all over again.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: They get to be crazy. But this new alien, at
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: least from the trailer, seems like while the original alien
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: was fish out out of water curmudgeony, this new alien
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: is like fish out of water but also kind of
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: suave and self assured.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: Or how about as Beetlejuice would say, anxious.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: Maybe.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: I mean there's a moment where he's gyrating his hips
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: and talking about how sexy is he is an anxious
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 2: kind of dude.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I I there were a couple of moments that
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: made me laugh overall. To me, resident I want the
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: thing is I want to like the show because I
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: have so many friends who enjoy it. It feels like
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: it's trying too hard and it feels a little too
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: cheesy for me.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 3: I m joy it.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe I just don't have whatever that
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: block is it's I don't think it's fantastic. I don't
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: think it's the best. I don't think it's the best
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 2: thing Alan Tudik's been in. I think Alan Tudic's the best,
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 2: the best component in it. But I also think everyone
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: else who's in it is doing a great job. But
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 2: I don't I think the material is okay. The performance
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: are better than okay, Like they're better than what the
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 2: material is.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: Like the sheriff is so over the top for me,
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: it's unbelievable.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 2: Sure, I mean, like I get it is. It is
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 2: one of those things where all the situations and characters
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: are sort of heightened where you know, like if you
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 2: sit there and dedicate any thought to it whatsoever, you'd
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 2: be like okay, but no human being would ever behave
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 2: this way, And this is supposed to be a human being,
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: not an alien posing as a human being, Like no
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 2: human being would Actually, this is too cartoonish because it's
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 2: so over the top. I get that, and sometimes I
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: struggle with that too, Like it's like if you watched
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 2: someone try to take a Cohen Brother's script but they
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: were not one of the Coen brothers, and then they
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 2: tried to make the movie, you get the feeling like
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 2: they'd make the same sort of choices where things that
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 2: the Cohen Brothers can do, where people are weird and quirky,
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 2: but you still believe in them, like in a lesser
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 2: a lesser sure director's hands would probably come off as
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 2: over the top and unbelievable.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that being said, like I said, I want to
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: like it. I'm not yucking anybody's yum. I get that
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: it is a lot of fun for a lot of people. Sure,
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: the trailer looks interesting.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and Alan Tuta gets to act against himself, so
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: that's going to be fun.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I yeah, I think I agree with you mostly.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 2: I think it's like you and I are pretty much
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 2: in agreement about the series. It's just that I'm slightly
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 2: more in the I find this entertaining and you're slightly
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: less there.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 3: And that's it.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 2: Like it's just we're just like splitting the seesaw and
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 2: I'm on I'm on the side that's going up, and
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 2: you're on the side that's going down, but just barely.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: But I mean that it's usually the other way, so
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: I'm fine to be on the downside of it.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, usually I'm Debbie Downer, so that's totally totally fine.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think.
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 2: But I mean also, like I stopped watching it, so
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 2: it's obviously it didn't gets hooks into me deeply enough
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 2: for me to stick with it and catch up. Right,
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: I'm still in season one, so but the trailer looks funny.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: If you are someone who's a fan of Resident Alien,
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: I think you're going to have a good time when
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: it comes out. I didn't write down when this one
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: comes out.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 3: That's weird. I did it for everything else. Well.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: It was also a last minute add but you know,
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: if you if you don't want to google that yourself.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: You can reach out to us and we can you know.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, that's there's way less effort if you want
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 2: to reach out to us and find out rather than
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: using Google.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Jonathan tell us about that less effort.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So what you're gonna do is you're gonna go
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: to Google and you're gonna type in how do I
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: contact Jonathan Strickland.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 3: Now here's the thing.
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 2: Your computer is going to immediately shut down, and I'm
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 2: sorry to tell you this, but it will be unusable
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 2: from that point forward.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 3: So that's the bad news.
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: But the good news is you'll hear a tapping coming
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: from behind you, and you'll turn around and you'll see
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: that there is a bird perched right outside your window,
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 2: tapping this weird little tap on the glass. And then
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 2: as you listen, you'll realize it's actually a message. You'll
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 2: start to jot down dashes and dots, and then, unless
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: you're really well versed in Morse code, you're going to
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 2: need to look up the message bad news as your
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: computer just died, so you're gonna have to go get
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: your phone, find a Morse code thing and start translating it.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: This is going to spell out a long detailed message
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 2: for you, specifically on how to find me. I don't
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 2: want to spoil everything, because honestly, the journey itself is
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 2: kind of one that embraces the joy of discovery. But
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: just make sure you're wearing comfortable shoes and breathable clothing.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 2: There will be a troll and you will have to
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 2: answer his riddle. You will have one point where you
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 2: will find yourself in the actor's nightmare, where you will
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: be instructed to walk through a door and then people
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: will suddenly grab you and throw you on stage. Because
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 2: you are there to be in the centerpiece of this
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 2: play that doesn't exist, and if you're expected to know
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 2: all your lines, you're gonna have to just muscle your
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 2: way through that. It's going to take about two and
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 2: a half hours with interval. It's going to be a
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 2: very small house. And the applause you get, honestly, you
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: can tell it's out of pity and not that they
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: actually enjoyed everything. Once that's done, you're going to be
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 2: exiting out of the theater. I don't want to tell
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 2: you a whole lot more. There will be a police
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 2: car chase. You will be on the lamb for crimes
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: You did not commit plus one you did. Don't want
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 2: to spoil what that is, but your pockets will be
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 2: heavy for a reason. Once all that is done, you're
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: going to find yourself exhausted, on the brink of a
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: total collapse. And it's at that point that you're going
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 2: to see me standing there saying, Okay, I looked it up.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 3: Was it that you wanted? Was it?
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 2: When Resident Alien season four comes, I forgot? Can you
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: hold on a second?
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: And if that was too traumatizing for you, because it
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: was for me. You can reach out to us on
