Transcript
- 0:00now I'm recording we are recording we are all recording and guys I may be
- 0:06coming into possession something very soon that I know is going to make at
- 0:09least two of you jealous I may getting at least two of us
- 0:14may good to see you skills are up to scratch Oh I thought you were saying
- 0:17that you might also be jealous of yourself welcome to multiple
- 0:22nerdgasm with your hosts Matt Luke and
- 0:27Dan multiple nerdgasm your guide to All
- 0:33Things
- 0:38nerdy well no because I I I may have it I may be getting um some
- 0:44$1 coins that are Bluey special editions
- 0:50oh how are you getting those um they you know how this Royal sh M will do like
- 0:55special coins every well this one they're doing Bluey coins and had a
- 1:00ballot to go in to see you got to buy them okay I went the ballot and I think
- 1:05I won oh fantastic all right I thought I'm getting a pack of three $1 Bluey
- 1:10coins for $60 for $60 do you know how much they're going for on eBay at the
- 1:15moment $3 450 wow for a single $1 coin of Le a
- 1:21pack of three the single one 160 I don't
- 1:27anything I don't know what to do with them that's the problem did you get a
- 1:31pack of three cuz I know what you should do with them what should I do you should
- 1:35give one each to your closest friends and their children but the whole
- 1:41thing about that is that devalues it because they don't got to open the
- 1:44packet and take it out of car packaging so I yeah I'm confused send me all three
- 1:49then I guess okay look if it's anything like Ian I looked into this and it seemed like the
- 1:55the ballot was closed by the time I caught wind of it uh this is me of that
- 2:00hammer bar experience the Gnomes were sold out in a matter of minutes on the
- 2:05first day and then we $1,000 each on eBay I I despise these people who go out
- 2:11and buy it just to un sell it I thought you meant gnomes I was going to say
- 2:17Jesus no but like why do it just to on sell you just don't get to make money
- 2:22it's not yeah that's all that's why most people do most things though isn't it
- 2:28yeah yeah but I don't know go to work yeah but I find that different people like
- 2:34me you're not going to work
- 2:38to take it from someone else and charge more for it or that type of thing it's
- 2:43that scalping and ticket scalping and but that's why we're not particularly
- 2:47well off I think it's because we don't approach Finance like that I do often I
- 2:52do often think I probably be wealthier if I was a prick I think you do need to be a prick
- 2:59to become unfortunately I could done better in the film industry had I been
- 3:03more of a prick yeah but no I don't know what I'm going
- 3:07to do with them I probably will break them up and give one H to you guys and
- 3:11then one to are they different coins or are they just the same so there's like
- 3:15um one's Bluey one's the dad one's the grandmother I forget what there's one
- 3:20that's the whole family there's one that's just Bluey okay the grandmother I doubt
- 3:25it's I I don't know BL but I don't know if I actually did win
- 3:31it or not that is the problem cuz I end if you had won it they probably would
- 3:36tell you so you open this by saying you thought you had one but what you mean is
- 3:42you actually went through with entering the ballot no no I've gone further this
- 3:46time so I entered the ballot and there you could get they've got like you can
- 3:50buy a pack of three or you can buy them each individually I entered to all
- 3:55four and I got emails saying for the individual coins I got it separate em
- 4:00for each saying I wasn't successful I didn't get anything for the three pack
- 4:05but they took the money out oh so oh that sounds like success
- 4:10yeah but I'm not sure so tune in next week and we'll find out you get nothing
- 4:15and they get your money and they took money from you which is the very prick
- 4:20likee attitude that's making them rich and us poor yes well as we've discussed
- 4:26they're selling $1 coins like so 60 bucks I'm just going to
- 4:32frame this in a in in a way that I think this this actually is this bu buying a
- 4:37dollar coin for $60 um even if you plan to sell it on for $600 I mean you've you've
- 4:43essentially bought an nft right it's just an nft you can hold in your hand
- 4:47but it's the it's the same concept it's an ft because you could also spend it as
- 4:52a Tok curency I suppose I think it is actually different because there's
- 4:58actually a thing yeah token yeah as
- 5:01opposed to yeah the scen the web address that you got with an
- 5:07F yeah yeah and they're limited run right so it's not like they're going to
- 5:12be flooding these in no if you get going into circulation these are just special
- 5:18you if you buy them now you're lucky if you don't you don't so I like Bluey blue
- 5:24we're a Bluey household so I'm excited that you've got this anyway but what I'm
- 5:28most excited about is that you'll have a coin with his majesty King Charles III
- 5:33on the back cuz I've not actually seen one of those no I think they'll probably
- 5:38start they'll start rolling out soonish I think but yeah I know the blue ones
- 5:42got the there are they they're already out there I just haven't seen any yeah
- 5:45they did they did one holding off because they were like hasn't he got
- 5:49cancer just wait could this also be the fact that you don't use
- 5:53cash oh yeah it 100% what it is can't remember the last time they reprinting
- 5:58they're going to reprint the notes the coins everything right cuz the queen
- 6:02well they won't reprint but they like I mean you could you could get coins with
- 6:06the young Queen on them for quite some time they they start circling they'll go
- 6:11we're going to circle some stuff out Circle some stuff and at a certain point
- 6:14they'll just say whenever this era gets back to the bank we claim it back yeah
- 6:20right they just stops stop putting it in ATMs or whatever yeah
- 6:25yeah like they did with remember when they did away with the one and two cent
- 6:28coins and they said no not legal tender anymore yeah didn't we did we used to
- 6:33have one and $2 notes or always coins I've got a $1 note somewhere in this
- 6:38house one and $2 oh no not a $2 note just $1 note and there was no $2
- 6:44right I don't know I don't know and then they swapped the coin $1 note for a $1
- 6:49coin and then a few years later they were like [ __ ] it here's a $2 as well
- 6:53yeah I was SOC I remember the $2 coin coming out cuz it's little and yeah it's
- 6:57tiny and it doesn't it makes a Clank sound when you knock them together not a
- 7:01tingling sound like when you switch other coins
- 7:06together yeah now I've got a $1 note somewhere I've got I used to collect
- 7:10notes back notes for some reason for a very brief period as a kid called saving
- 7:14money yeah well it was money from other countries though it's the problem is a lot of
- 7:20times like you you'll do that and the money that your cuz when you do this
- 7:25I've had people like I'll swap your note CU that's the way you sort of do it and
- 7:29your note and there that money is worthless money and they'll go and you
- 7:34give me that $50 note but no this $50 note's worth money whereas you just gave
- 7:3950 here's 50 Yen yeah yeah I told you toight about my uh friend who was coming
- 7:46back from America and on the day they were going to fly back they went to this
- 7:49little convenience store because they saw a sign that said um money changer
- 7:53and they like oh let's just change all American money back to Australian so
- 7:56they went in there and they gave him like you know $200 whatever and the guy
- 7:59was handing back $200 Australian dollar and they were like no no no we're
- 8:03converting this he's like yeah 200 200 it was just you know guy was confused
- 8:08why they were and they were like would that work in the other direction as well
- 8:12he's like of course like you [ __ ] idiots so they were like so they went to
- 8:16an ATM just withdrew every dollar they had in cash and then went back and
- 8:21swapped it all for American dollars dollar for dollar oh my God just cuz
- 8:28some understand it you bankrupted
- 8:33us and that's why there's no 7- elvs anymore look I'm going to say we
- 8:38probably picked the worst day to record why we should have been recording
- 8:42tomorrow because there's going to be lots of news I want to talk about in
- 8:46about 10 hours time what's happening tonight well there's news now about I
- 8:50know but the Xbox showcase that's what I'm really excited yeah
- 8:57that's we've got a lot of other stuff this week too so we can just you know
- 9:01save that for next week yes but I I like this it's we're having
- 9:07it's still so E3 went away and the reason why E3 went away is because
- 9:11everyone was doing their own showcases well everyone's still doing their own
- 9:14showcases so we still get the same information we would have gotten anyway
- 9:18which is great yeah yeah E3 was was kind of done like
- 9:25yeah but yeah so has anyone seen anything interesting yet cuz I'm up for
- 9:29the Xbox one I've know some news that rumors for that I'm looking forward to
- 9:35civ7 announced they teased it was going to be announced it actually was
- 9:39announced as's a trailer but the trailer doesn't show the game it just shows
- 9:43things from history and then it says remember civilization there's a new one
- 9:47new one yeah yeah yeah I wonder what they're going to change cuz I do like
- 9:52the way hopefully because five was excellent and six was garbage so now
- 9:58there'll be octagon grid pieces
- 10:03yeah don't they have the plan like when they release this they like keep 30% the
- 10:07same 30% would be adjustments Lal 30% is like here's a new feature to try and not
- 10:13be like a a Madden game where it's just the same game new skin it's actually
- 10:17we're giving you new stuff to do so well they kind of
- 10:22um made it more casual the C S I guess
- 10:29yeah yeah it was it was very more broad than the previous had been L strategy so
- 10:36which is why this one's like yeah it didn't have that like other one have of
- 10:41just one more turn just one more turn that would keep you playing a one game
- 10:44for eight hours didn't have that remember one time I played it I
- 10:50actually won the game goes it went like do you want to continue and I went yes
- 10:54and I just Contin playing even though I'd won yeah you can get a victory and then just
- 11:00if you just want to kill people just to keep
- 11:04going you like that did you that's what I did for I played yeah I think it five
- 11:10I played it once for like 12 hours never played it again but just that one game
- 11:15just kept me up all night I'll say this Civ 5 the original release version I I
- 11:22think was better than when they upgraded it to the Brave New World version and
- 11:27gave it a whole lot of new Fe fees I think some of the some of the gaml
- 11:32suffered a little bit with all the different victories that you could get
- 11:36um just made it a little bit I don't know just seemed to spread it out a bit
- 11:39and maybe maybe you just had to focus on one thing too much which was which I
- 11:44didn't like compared to how it was in the past what we need to do this is a
- 11:48game we could actually play together and we should you know I've never played Civ
- 11:53uh with anyone else because it would turn into not because you can do the
- 11:58whole thing of like you have a turn and then your turn's done then you're
- 12:01waiting for someone else to turn so it it wouldn't we did that with a
- 12:04ridiculous third party service at one point if you recall buted we always
- 12:08forgot and then somebody would just forget and then it would the game would
- 12:11just stall and I'm hoping now that they've maybe fixed that that not that
- 12:15third party hopefully we can no I think you can do it in game now yeah so I
- 12:18think I we Tred again we did that with yeah I wouldn't mind trying it again did
- 12:24we I think we tried and then yeah someone just kept forgetting was
- 12:29not not anyone in particular it was just always whoever's turn it was was just
- 12:33like or whatever yeah I think in the long term once you sort of get the game
- 12:38started and you got when it's your turn you're making a lot of stuff that's
- 12:42where it'll become good at the start of the game where you can do one thing yeah
- 12:47and it's like a well whatever I think you got get days yeah you got to get
- 12:51through that that grindy part at the very start while you're setting yourself
- 12:55up and then it'll be fun it's my favorite though that's my
- 13:01which is why I actually like Age of Empires possibly a little bit more than
- 13:06Civ because when you've got nothing you've really got nothing like you have
- 13:09to cut down a [ __ ] tree to get some wood you know like in si it's just like
- 13:13okay you've got resources use them just play them because if they have
- 13:18re-released them the new version I haven't sat down and played them yet I
- 13:22should do it they're all on X Game Pass for PC
- 13:27oh I believe the other thing that got
- 13:30announced uh was the Allan Wake 2 DLC has been announced so I started playing
- 13:37it this morning ah how is it very good very good
- 13:43do do you want me to tell you what it is or I can I can hold off if if it's if
- 13:46any any information is a spoiler for someone who's just started playing I
- 13:51know that you play as characters from other games I know that in it apparently
- 13:57well so apparently the premise is cuz you know and this is in the first game
- 14:00too when you walk past a TV there's a TV show called night Springs which is
- 14:03Charity of The Twilight Zone so this is episodes of that show that you play
- 14:09right and I believe there's three in this DLC and I believe you're a
- 14:14different character different story in each and they're so unique they don't
- 14:18factor I mean it feels and looks like Alan Wake too but they're separate to
- 14:24the story because they're fiction even within this the world yeah uh and so the
- 14:29one I started playing this morning you play as the waitress at the coffee shop
- 14:32that Alan goes to in the first game and in the second game excellent I will
- 14:38you're her with the shotgun going around shooting it's fabulous it's and it's
- 14:42really tongue and cheek it's it's really good okay yeah so it's not something you
- 14:48could play it without playing the the game it's not a oh yeah I mean if you
- 14:52wanted to do this first I suppose you could but it's got nothing
- 14:56to but you you wouldn't because the game so just play the [ __ ] game which
- 15:01someone has started playing that last week had I I don't know had I
- 15:07finished I finished all the Allen wake DLC I don't know if I had done that when
- 15:11we talked last week I have done that now I finished all of it were they second
- 15:15one I enjoyed a lot more okay it is still I think more difficult than the
- 15:21main game um but I I enjoyed the second one more it was more story stuff there's
- 15:27a lot of Thomas Zay floating around talking to you and yeah okay um a more
- 15:32fun puzzly stuff yeah it was good that sounds good yeah I'm going to I'm going
- 15:37to play him I'll I'll play him but I'll just do this DLC first yeah yeah yeah so
- 15:41I I finished that and then I I did oh we could talk about I I did dive into a
- 15:46couple other things for a bit to pallet cleanse as Luke put it in
- 15:51between but um I did eventually think a [ __ ] it and I I started playing Alan
- 15:56Wake 2 just yesterday I think or maybe the day before I'm not very far I've
- 16:02literally only done the very first bit and even though I know you
- 16:06guys I'm sure you told me this and I this was in the back of my mind but I
- 16:11was still like oh [ __ ] it's Sam Lake like yeah I know you told I'm positive
- 16:17that you said yeah he's I think you're unprepared to just
- 16:20how strongly featured he is yes just a full on character this time he is right
- 16:26there in your face I where you guys said it but it's just when I saw him I went
- 16:31oh [ __ ] it's Sam Link um yeah so far it's great it's really
- 16:37interesting um I'm I've only been the FBI agent I know you do play as Allen at
- 16:41some point but yeah no that's interesting that way that plays out and
- 16:45you know I it's not spoiler to talk about the thing that happens at the
- 16:48opening of the [ __ ] game right no yeah so nighting Gale body investigation
- 16:55cool stuff yeah I like the investigation stuff I like big soft body that you have
- 17:00to control through the woods for a bit yes I was like what a bold opening for a
- 17:05game is just I'm this fat naked guy just walking around like and I have
- 17:12no context for any of this yeah I didn't even know it was nting Gale until they
- 17:16told me again later and I was like oh that's who that is yeah I know who that
- 17:19is I just didn't know that's who I was playing as but you get more and more it
- 17:23keeps getting better and better and the good thing is is with this game there
- 17:26are still points where you can go okay I'm going stop playing now like there is
- 17:32a yeah and I think it's a little it's a little there are a few more of them than
- 17:36in Alan W alen W was quite long and then here's a chapter I think here there some
- 17:40smaller ones in there as well stop you get to one name you go I'm
- 17:44going to have a break now and I'll come back to it and then when you get to the
- 17:47swapping when you choose the characters that's also a good way for you to go if
- 17:51I need a break or I want to I'll say try something else I'll say this the like I
- 17:56said I've not done any action stuff yet I'm literally just the the FBI guy agent
- 17:59walking around um yes and but I do if if
- 18:05I would just do what they say I'm leaving a lot of paths unw walked and
- 18:12and I'm not sure at this point like you can come back you can't come back okay
- 18:17cuz part of me is like well I'm I'm missing out on stuff I like to explore
- 18:20the games but but what happens as soon as I wander off she goes oh I'm have to
- 18:23look at something and and by a third of the way through the game you've unlocked
- 18:27the entire map so and you essentially can go wherever you want at any time so
- 18:32all right Co yeah you could go back to the to the forest where you the I'm
- 18:36ignoring a lot of stuff and CU when I got back when you get back into
- 18:39brightfalls I was like oh wow it's like the same like it's exactly the same like
- 18:45in a way it makes me glad that I just played the first one because I like I
- 18:48can see like this is literally the [ __ ] same across from the diner is
- 18:52that um place on the water that you go behind at one point and it's like it's
- 18:56the same yeah um you you'll find later like if you do do some exploring
- 19:00there'll be some stuff that you can't get to unless until you get further in
- 19:03the game unlock sort of stuff and things like that it cuts so you have to make
- 19:09mental know I have to come back here with the Bol Cutters and it does reward
- 19:12you like that yeah okay yeah cool but don't worry seems Seems good I think
- 19:17there's there there is sort of like an end point that'll that'll come War hey
- 19:21if you want to do more exploring go before you do it now do but that's at
- 19:25the very end very end so don't be worried explore have fun and and the exploring
- 19:32gets easier once you get but also in terms of being able to stop and
- 19:38start like in the original out Island wake any stage that you were on was
- 19:42basically W toall combat until you got to a cut scene where walk from a to to B
- 19:48and have people attack you all along the way this is not like that this is more
- 19:51like an open world game it's not but it feels more like that there'll be Pockets
- 19:56where you'll get attacked in certain areas but mostly I mean you could just
- 19:59pause it and walk away and come back and just start at the very end of the game
- 20:04CU I knew where people come out I you could actually just I'm just going to
- 20:07run past you I I know where I'm going and you can just that's not like the
- 20:12first one no you have to kill everyone before we let you continue there's still
- 20:16parts of that in the game where it's the story but one thing though I was playing
- 20:21because I've been playing a lot of I'm still playing Fallout New Vegas so I'm
- 20:25up to the part now where I've been to Vegas and I've I've talked to Mr house
- 20:30and he wants me to basically choose who is allowed to live in terms of all the
- 20:35faction so I'm going visiting all the factions now uh before I come back and
- 20:39ultimately destroy whoever I want so you going going with Mr house is your
- 20:44storyline then no what I think I'm going to do is I'm going to probably use the
- 20:49chip to I'm actually I'm playing as a real kind of goody two shoes in this
- 20:53playthrough so I'm going to favor the NCR and I'm going to I'm going to murder
- 20:58all of the the the kind of warlord
- 21:02factions and uh probably yeah I'm going to probably try to take over myself make
- 21:08myself King so we'll see we'll see what it happens I need to go back is probably
- 21:12still standing there waiting for me to return no start again don't don't play
- 21:17an old return but the thing was when I started playing because I've been
- 21:20playing that all week and then today I started playing the Allen wake 2 DLC but
- 21:23I kept hitting the top bumper to go into Vats whenever I was ENT combat which is help you
- 21:30yeah oh yeah I had some control issu so yeah so I finished the DLC for the first
- 21:36game and I did jump into I mentioned last week I felt like playing Ghost
- 21:40Recon wildlands I did play that just for a little bit uh and enjoyed it yep but
- 21:46then I went and saw a movie which reminded me that there was another game
- 21:51that I was like oh [ __ ] maybe I'll have a look at that um so I was playing the
- 21:57Mad Max game love that game it's a great game it's very good but the controls are
- 22:02[ __ ] weird and it took me a little while to I had to go into the menu and
- 22:06go what are the controls in this they're just so different like they're
- 22:09completely different to any other game where it's like yeah um see give us a
- 22:13sequel to that oh make us another Mad Max like there's well oh yeah go
- 22:20on so so I saw furiosa which is the reason that I had Mad Max on the brain
- 22:26and I saw in an interview I'll talk about furiosa in a minute but in an
- 22:30interview I saw someone asked George Miller doing press for furiosa because
- 22:34um furiosa has got stuff from the game in it and because because apparently
- 22:41what happened is um they made Fury Road and he had already written the plot of
- 22:46furiosa as kind of World building for for Fury Road and he wanted to make them
- 22:52both but he couldn't I guess couldn't get the money or whatever and so they
- 22:55focused on Fury Road making a small story kind of thing I guess it's kind of
- 22:58like I guess what George Lucas did with Star Wars pick a smaller chunk and focus
- 23:03on that or whatever but anyway so he had all this backstory about gas town and
- 23:07the bullet farm and things they mention Fury Road but you you go oh yeah
- 23:11whatever um they don't you don't know what that looks like or about any of the
- 23:17other people there and um you has
- 23:20another son called scotus who is in the game and the reason for all that is and
- 23:27dementus who Chris hems plays in furiosa is also mentioned in the game because
- 23:34they gave Avalanche all the back story notes oh and they were okay great and
- 23:39they made a game with it but then apparently George Miller was like yeah
- 23:42no that's not that's not what yeah and he doesn't like it because right
- 23:49like because they were saying would you think of game and he's like oh yeah we
- 23:53didn't wasn't really very H happy with it or whatever and I was like but it
- 23:56must it must be tough to like have this kind of brainchild story and then you give it to
- 24:01someone else and they make this thing and you go that's not really what I
- 24:03meant like yeah unless he came on board as an executive producer and called the
- 24:07shots and was the story guess I don't know how much how involved but also I
- 24:10don't know how much he when he made Fury Road he was what 70 and now he's almost
- 24:1480 like how much [ __ ] input could he have on a video game like no offense to
- 24:18him he makes like clearly like furios is evidence that he's still able to [ __ ]
- 24:25shittle over a bunch of other modern even if he wasn't like notes maybe if he
- 24:32like write the game like write more not just he some notes well he I think he
- 24:36wrot the backstory but then it's like yeah yeah there's a lot of characters
- 24:41like scrotus from from from I don't know it's [ __ ] funny name Morton Joe's
- 24:46kids Rus and scrotus is in Fury Road and um scrotus
- 24:53is in furiosa I I know why he's not in Fury Road but anyway whatever
- 24:58um but anyway uh furios is [ __ ] sick go see it it's really good it's
- 25:04um it's different okay um it's a different kind of movie it's more
- 25:10like the like like you know the road warrior MX 2 I guess and that it's not
- 25:15you know Fury Road is literally like a very short story about yeah basically
- 25:21it's yeah yeah people you love it or you hate it it's it's a big [ __ ] it's one
- 25:25action scene that goes for two hours basically that's a big car chase this
- 25:29follows furiosa from her childhood up to
- 25:34literally up to Fury Road like it literally leads into Fury Road like
- 25:39literally into the next into the the movie driving driving a car and the GPS
- 25:44says turn right onto Fury Road exctly
- 25:49right yeah so um yeah it's [ __ ] sick the only thing I would say about I I
- 25:55don't want to spoil anything it's it's great I it's not even spoilery though it's a very
- 26:00simple story it's just it's just [ __ ] Revenge story that's and it's like it's
- 26:04it's nice isn't it it is simple uh [ __ ] good action my only complaint is
- 26:10that I was like why is the CGI so noticeable in this it was in the trailer
- 26:13too right we talked about this before I'm watching it I'm going
- 26:18I trailer footage was unfinished but you're saying that's not the case no no
- 26:23this and and I was like why is this because I know they filmed I know people
- 26:26who [ __ ] worked on it I know they filmed this stuff like why does it why
- 26:30does it look like this and then I've read an article this week that I've put
- 26:33in here I think I put it in here about how apparently somebody they've
- 26:38convinced George Miller now you can use CGI just to like tweak it and so what
- 26:44he's done for this one is they did film all this stuff but then he was watching
- 26:48and he go oh why don't we move that there move these get this guy a little
- 26:51bit closer so so and we'll put we we film elements and add them in here and
- 26:56and then oh yeah and that's why I oh that's what it
- 27:00is and I I it's just a shame because I mean whatever makes him happy
- 27:05I guess but you going to film because practical effect about like my brain's
- 27:11just allergic to that stuff like I'm watching this I'm watching you know like
- 27:14the [ __ ] War rigs going down the road and the guys are jumping on stuff like
- 27:17that and then just something about it if if I pick up on the fact that
- 27:20something's not quite right my brain just goes this is not real and I want to
- 27:24know when that happen too because when I watch 80s movies which have arguably far
- 27:29worse special effects than today's movies but yeah but they it works for
- 27:36them yeah in a way like you see a puppet and for some reason your brain doesn't
- 27:41tune out takes out physical space character yeah but then if you see something
- 27:47computerized you're like H you're trying to trick me not not switch off that's
- 27:53not quite the right way to say it sucks it sucks you out yeah it's just it it's just
- 27:58different like it's a completely different experience whereas and and and
- 28:02people will say oh you know Fury Road had tons of CGI too I know that but it
- 28:06didn't have it in the same way like they still literally filmed like they CGI the
- 28:10backgrounds and put mountains in the backgrounds and stuff like that but they
- 28:13the [ __ ] cars are smashing into each other and blowing up like that's real
- 28:16they filmed it and you can tell it looks and they real they filmed some of it I
- 28:21remember reading on Canon 5DS um to use as one-offs because they would
- 28:28say we're strapping front of the car for a great shot of this car crashing in and
- 28:33then go in and dig the memory stick out of the record camera camera is gone yeah
- 28:39yeah and yeah you can tell it just looks
- 28:42so good and then this like I said it just it's a shame because like I said I
- 28:47know that they did do that stuff again but I feel like the
- 28:51fiddling like takes away from it yeah yep and I just wonder like what would it
- 28:57be like if they just hadn't done that oh and there's one really obvious shot
- 29:00that's so it's so odd they had make sur he had the money to not there's a bit
- 29:05where it's Chris Hemsworth's character and he's um Ram in a gate in his car and
- 29:12he's not in the car right but it literally just looks like someone's
- 29:16shoved a like a TV in the front window with Chris Hemsworth in it on on the TV like a flat
- 29:23comp yeah I was like how'd that make it in like it just it looks bad oh but
- 29:29still a good movie apart from that yeah yeah yeah I'm I'm nitpicking it's
- 29:33[ __ ] great oh speaking of movies I it's not in the spreadsheet because
- 29:37actually I popped it in last week and we didn't get to talk about it but one of
- 29:41the younger actors in The Top Gun sequel nobody that I knew who they were but
- 29:47just you know it's about the younger generation coming up so one of those
- 29:50guys was saying that before he starting the film Tom Cruz made him go to a
- 29:56certain Cinema or a certain day and watch this specific how to make a movie
- 30:02movie that Tom Cruz had made and paid for and stars in where thisy he's like
- 30:08hi I'm Tom crw no apparently he shows it to everyone who who's going to be in a
- 30:12movie with you have to watch this he's like I'm Tom Cruz and here's how to be
- 30:15in a movie and then uh just teaches his stuff and it's here's like here how to
- 30:20fly a plane and this is a camera like and the guy apparently goes for 4 hours
- 30:26and uh the guy was the only one in the theater he's just like I'm here to watch
- 30:29Tom Cruz's movie they're like yep okay go in yeah another one of those eh
- 30:34yeah that's all right I I would like to see that i' would like to see it but I
- 30:40don't know he he's good but bad at the same time I don't I don't can't put my
- 30:44finger on Tom Cruz he I saw photos of him for the new Mission possible he
- 30:47looks pretty jacked at the moment actually oh yeah Tom he's looking yeah
- 30:50he's looking like he's been hit I think in the way cuz he's his face is finally
- 30:54starting to show his age cuz he's he must be in his 60 right in in dead
- 30:59reckoning you look I go so I think he's been like I'm Tom Cruz like [ __ ] it if
- 31:04my face is going I'm going to get my body jacked he's 61 cuz that's never
- 31:09been his thing he's never been like big muscle or anything like that it's yeah
- 31:13fact he's really even a take your shirt off in a movie he's fit and he does
- 31:18physical stunts and stuff like that but he's not like a Ary kind of ripping his
- 31:23shirt's not a bodybuilder yeah yeah yeah exactly well I'm sure he does the same
- 31:27techniques to stay in shape but he just doesn't need to go to that level it's
- 31:31not yeah it's not about that he's going to turn 62 on the 3rd of July oh okay
- 31:35okay there you go um one other thing I want to say
- 31:38about furiosa was that another CGI thing that I thought I didn't notice right and
- 31:43then and worked really well which is again this is a good use of it there's a
- 31:46an obviously a younger actress who plays furiosa as a kid and then Ana Taylor Joy
- 31:51plays uh kind of older yeah and as the
- 31:56movie was going on I was like when the [ __ ] is Anya Taylor joy in this and then
- 32:02suddenly I just realized oh that is her and I was like what why didn't I notice
- 32:08that like like it like it sounds like I'm being silly I genuinely didn't know to
- 32:14transition and then this article talks about that too what they did was they
- 32:20slowly the the the younger actress and onella joy I guess as it got in the
- 32:25middle they both did the scenes and then they just kind of like
- 32:29together over time and they made her like face look more like Anya Taylor joy
- 32:33and that and then like I said literally at a certain point I was like oh that's
- 32:37her where and his CGI that you didn't notice yeah that was good in yeah
- 32:42incredible yeah they did B Lan's Elvis movie in the last
- 32:47scene the movie leads up to his 77 comeback tour in Las Vegas and he does
- 32:52this number on stage and it slowly morphs from the actor
- 32:58to real footage of Elvis but you never there's no moment where you go oh okay
- 33:02now we're on real Elvis and the last shot was on the fake Elvis it's it's
- 33:06like a very gradual thing probably the same thing comping Elvis on some early shots and
- 33:11then yeah right transitioning in I do want to see this good stuff looks good
- 33:17does it look like same kind of look as Fury Road with that kind of really blue
- 33:22and yellow kind of yeah stylized palette everything and also one thing I noticed
- 33:27it's I got in I went in it was it was one of the biggest Cinemas cuz I guess
- 33:30it's a like a newor release just up the road at the theater here which we have
- 33:34nice theater it's just not like you know not big fancy kind of
- 33:41oops not not in any way oh Matt left us you know what [ __ ] I'm never going to
- 33:47talk about it yeah yeah yeah just it's that bad well L gentlemen M phones died
- 33:53so uh just look now I I don't know if I'll go through
- 33:58at I do want to go to movies but I don't I think the next one for me is going to
- 34:03be aliens alien that's I'm going to wait to I'm pretty Keen
- 34:09but I mean I I enjoyed seeing Fury Road at the cinema but I also enjoyed
- 34:14watching it on my laptop so I don't give a [ __ ] how big the screen is anymore the
- 34:20only reason I go to see things now in cemas is to see them sooner not to see them
- 34:25bigger yeah there's no real I don't know is back back
- 34:31no no no so no I honestly he's not welcome
- 34:36back no no I think I think the alien and I think Deadpool and
- 34:42Wolverine oh yeah no I can wait for that no I think that's just going to be like
- 34:47a fun day out sure yeah I would agree and actually you're probably right if
- 34:53you don't see that soon I I imagine there's going to be a whole bunch of in
- 34:57jokes in there that'll be spoiled by the time it comes to streaming so maybe
- 35:01seeing that hey is back he
- 35:05back oh but he can't hear
- 35:08us no he cannot hear us no
- 35:14nothing no I can I can okay sorry about that I hope that
- 35:20doesn't affect my recording for the um well Luke's recording so should no no
- 35:26no but I'm recording no the recording I'm doing is the recording that this is
- 35:31it the website does it I need my individual recording but anyway we'll
- 35:34see what happens oh I can't help now I don't know what happened there my
- 35:36computer just disconnected from everything so um what was I
- 35:41saying sorry uh yeah you were talking about the cinema and how your Cinema is
- 35:48not the best Cinema it was it was it was it was this was in one of the nicer ones
- 35:51the big ones and it was [ __ ] loud and I noticed as soon as I the trailers came
- 35:55on I was like [ __ ] this is loud and I was like I hope it stays this loud cuz
- 35:59this is a movie that I want loud so that was yeah that was good cuz sometimes
- 36:04crushes and explosions yeah yeah sometimes they have it's like a bit too
- 36:07quiet I'm like I wish this was louder have you ever seen a 4D movie
- 36:12Matt Luke and I saw a 4D movie when we were in America I've seen a couple and I enjoy
- 36:18them they they've got smello Vision so if someone's cooking toast you can smell
- 36:23it the chair moves M I have't I'm not sure that' be a good thing to
- 36:29want you would want in next movie well maybe well yeah
- 36:34true yeah the chair moving every time something crashed into somebody would be
- 36:39would be pretty good it would be like hold a dual shock controller yeah
- 36:42Guardians was good I wouldn't want watch a drama or anything too serious 4D but I
- 36:46think I think we saw Guardians didn't we we did see the secondi I also saw the
- 36:51Solo movie as well which was oh where you find out that Han Solo isn't his
- 36:57name he just was by himself [ __ ] hell I forgot about that why' you have
- 37:04to remind me yeah um I saw a I saw an
- 37:08interview with um about to say Richard Dean Anderson that's not who I mean who
- 37:13do I mean alen dean Foster no alen Dean Foster oh yeah um talking about Splinter
- 37:19of the Mind's Eye and about how like he was pretty psyched when George Lucas
- 37:24said to him I need you to write the sequel to Star Wars because the the idea
- 37:29was if Star Wars was a failure didn't make any money they'd release this book and
- 37:36hopefully make some money back on it they'd release it anyway but if it did
- 37:39make money and they were going to do a sequel that book would be the sequel and
- 37:43so he was really this sequel Luke and Leia are not related no they are not
- 37:49that's right um and Han is not in it he's left CU they didn't think they
- 37:53could afford to get uh Harrison Ford back but they did so and then they for
- 37:58that and a number of other reasons completely rewrote it and apparently he
- 38:02was quite disappointed that they didn't use his story line yeah I
- 38:06bet um speaking of trailers and we've got some follow on from this in a way I
- 38:11saw the trailer for Beetle Juice Beetle Juice oh yeah in the
- 38:16theater doesn't look very good I'll be honest yeah I I must admit I loved
- 38:22Beetle Juice like when I was a teenager it was my favorite movie yeah and I was
- 38:26excited when one but now I've seen the trailer and I'm like I just don't know
- 38:29if we need another one especially since I just don't trust Tim buron books yeah
- 38:34he's he's good his his best films are far far behind us long behind him
- 38:39yeah um but I did notice one thing that was funny right we know we know Alec
- 38:44Baldwin's not in this and we know Gina Davis is not in this and we also know
- 38:49[ __ ] what's his name horrible Jones Jeffrey Jones is not in
- 38:53this and in the trailer I guess at the start of the movie movie they're at his
- 38:59funeral so it's like okay yeah he's definitely n this he's off molesting
- 39:04ghosts somewhere yeah the K the ghosts of kids yeah of kids that died because I
- 39:09did see because it's not Beetle Juice too it's Beetle Juice Beetle Juice which
- 39:13I think is sort of like for me that was of opening it up for a third as well yeah true
- 39:19yeah this article was been talking to Michael ke about it and he said that he
- 39:23um he found it off ping because he did Beetle Juice and since then there's you
- 39:27know there's the cartoon and then B juice has become like a actually quite
- 39:31liked the cartoon well he the character went on to do more stuff I guess and he
- 39:36just didn't know about any of that and and or he wasn't interested in it and
- 39:39now he's like you know he's doing the follow-up and he's like so what's been
- 39:42going on and he's like a I hate all this so were they canning all of that as
- 39:47Cannon are they no I don't know if it's that I think it's just that he was like
- 39:51can I I think cuz I saw an interview where he said how do I remember how to
- 39:55do this like it was so long ago and it was very you know kind of early you know
- 40:01how are they going to explain why a ghost is 30 years older now well they I
- 40:06think they've deaged him haven't they oh have they oh not not based on the
- 40:11trailer he just or maybe they're just trying to I think they the makeup just
- 40:17yeah the makeup and just cuz he didn't look young back then
- 40:20either but I think going to ignore it it's going to be it's going to be
- 40:26annoying the Plus stupid too is it go on well because um what's her name's in it Monica
- 40:33Belushi's in it as his his prev wife
- 40:38right cuz there's a gag previous wife when he tries to marry Lydia at the end
- 40:43of Beetle Juice yeah the priest says if you got the ring and he pulls out a
- 40:47finger with a ring on it and he goes don't worry she meant nothing to me
- 40:51that's who Monica Belushi plays right cuz she's in the trailer she's got no ring finger m
- 40:58interesting she comes back so anyway so what you're saying it's it's that
- 41:02Avenged Sevenfold song yes but as a movie yeah yeah without is trying to
- 41:09necrophilia that you know of maybe maybe yeah and is he trying to marry renona
- 41:13Ryder still is he now moving on to her daughter there there's definitely jokes
- 41:18about it in the trailer cuz um Jenna
- 41:22Orga is in it and like summons him back by accident in the trailer and then
- 41:28shows up and says to one wrer I'm going to make you so happy
- 41:33like yeah so yeah he's back on that he's
- 41:37like summoning me is consent it consent well
- 41:43because I mean it's less creepy now cuz they're both kind of old you know you
- 41:46get lumped in but like in the original she's pretty young right and Michael
- 41:51Keon was not that young so no oh yeah yeah still creepy she was she played a
- 41:56little girl it was a joke like in the like it was never like so serious that
- 42:01it would be a thing yeah and it's kind of a playing off of that Trope of like
- 42:05the you know the Black Knight always wants to marry the princess that's what
- 42:08he wants yeah for some reason it doesn't come up as creepy because he's a [ __ ]
- 42:11ghost like it's ridiculous yeah but that's always sort of confused me like
- 42:15even with like vampires and their old hanging out with young people yeah
- 42:20pretending to still be in high school how old are you 400 Angel was 400 years
- 42:24old trying to sleep with a 16y old like that
- 42:27yeah yeah hey mate when I'm 400 if I
- 42:34great Banas look like in in buff well even now he's still a handsome guy yeah
- 42:40very handsome look out young got the job just because he was handsome did you
- 42:44hear that interview no the there's an interview on one of the DVDs for Buffy
- 42:49it must be the first season where um they were talking about uh who to cast
- 42:54and they'd cast Buffy and you know cast Gil and stuff they were like for Angel
- 42:57we just needed someone super handsome and no one like that had come in yet and
- 43:02and then one of the woman was like there's a guy who walks his dog past my
- 43:06house every morning who's so [ __ ] hot I go out just to look at him and they're
- 43:10like bring him in and it was so the next day he just walked past and she's like
- 43:14you're not an actor are you I mean this is La every you can assume Everyone's an
- 43:17actor of course and he's like yeah I want to be she's like can you come in
- 43:22well that might explain like his first season cuz he wasn't really in it a lot
- 43:25that first season he was no he wasn't I think he got just showed up and stood
- 43:30dark doorways and yeah yeah no he would have to do he
- 43:37didn't um stuff he didn't keep up the fitness though what am I trying to say
- 43:43got a bit fat in later in later yeah like a lot of sh off scenes fitter as
- 43:50they go because they're like yeah I'm a movie star now whereas he was just like
- 43:53[ __ ] it I got job we look at um well actually funny interview with James
- 43:58Masters um uh he who does he is in good shape yeah yeah because he told Joss
- 44:05because you know they had a bit of a standoff we've talked about this before
- 44:07right Jos SC was mad because Spike was supposed to die yeah but he was too
- 44:11popular he was so popular the studio was like you got to keep him and he he took
- 44:15him aside and he said you're ruining my [ __ ] show stop it and um as it went
- 44:20on they said um you know you're going to fall in love with Buffy and you're going
- 44:24have sex scenes and stuff like that and he and he's like when are we shooting
- 44:27them he goes don't he said he told Jos don't ma blucas me you tell me when you
- 44:31want me to get my shirt off CU he said cuz cuz they did him [ __ ] dirty like
- 44:36he was just on the day by the way whip your shirt off but by the way this is a
- 44:39topess scene and he's like I haven't been working out and they're like well
- 44:41we're filming it so yeah yeah if I was going to be if I was going to be to I'd
- 44:46need a good six months notice six months good six
- 44:52years that wasn't a dig at you that was a dig at me yeah no that's fair but I
- 44:57don't even think about what my body's going to look like it's six years when I'm
- 45:0250 that I'll still be a baby a 49
- 45:07yep oh in speaking of trailers um Borderlands looks awful did you watch
- 45:14this oh no I haven't seen a new trailer before I I've not been keeping up with
- 45:18the not watching the trailering movie this is a this is a a sequence they
- 45:24thought would get people excited about the movie and it looks [ __ ] garbage
- 45:28and I just don't understand this is certainly not going to be the game the
- 45:32the the the uh movie that redeems video game I'm just watching I can't hear it
- 45:38but it just looks like it's it's a cut trap having diarrhea essentially it just
- 45:42looks like yeah yeah clap traps shooting out bullets yeah yeah but even wait wait
- 45:48till that it gets into like an action bit at the end and it's just like what
- 45:51is this it looks like some you know some fans shot it in at at a convention yeah
- 45:57Borderlands like what I'm looking at it's they look like they're like they
- 46:00inside in a very dark place Borderlands is out there in the open and bright it's
- 46:05yeah it's just such an odd choice to say here's we'll use this to promote it yeah
- 46:09yeah get excited for for this shitty and scroll down read the comments on YouTube
- 46:15everyone's like the [ __ ] is this seeing Kevin Hart is rolling just not right
- 46:19this looks like random people cosplaying as Borderlands characters really whated
- 46:24Borderlands 4 announced instead of this yeah people not looking forward to this
- 46:28I'm not going to for this no um real threat
- 46:34for see in IMAX oh that would be good yeah I could be disappointed on the big
- 46:40screen I know I think I don't think this I don't think there's ever way to make a
- 46:45Borderlands movie good it's just no it's it doesn't lend itself to that silly
- 46:51game it's over the top and no it's too
- 46:56weird and nonsensical like you can't constrain it to like the movie format
- 47:01almost do that make sense I feel it doesn't especially from one game to the
- 47:04other like the shifts that are taking place I mean I assume this is just based
- 47:09on the first game although it can't be because it's got uh characters AR in the
- 47:14just I think it's combination of all of them yeah got tiny she's not in the
- 47:20first game no no she came in and all all the characters are from the first game
- 47:27cuz the other characters are in the sequels but they are sort of a just make
- 47:32an appearance except for Tiny Tina she's only in the second one onwards
- 47:36so the only constant character is really clap crap all the others are sort of
- 47:42yeah just changeable I'll see it but I'm not going
- 47:47paying money in the movies to see it but uh on on Eli Roth news cuz he
- 47:54directed Borderlands um I thought this wasting
- 47:59too and an odd choice of Directors for Borderland I just I don't know why he
- 48:03wanted to do it and I don't know why they wanted to do it I we showed up at
- 48:06Pax and they were like Eli Roth and I was like Eli Roth all right he was on stage like
- 48:12why yeah um they're doing a hostel TV series starring Paul
- 48:19Jamari that's an odd Choice all right I mean okay yeah just told I guess he
- 48:25doesn't Star as one of the chicks that just goes to Romania on holidays and
- 48:29then ends up getting kidnapped and tortured I mean he's great I like him in
- 48:33stuff I mean I didn't watch that movie but I tried twice to watch that it's so
- 48:38bad I I gave up twice on it but it's just who can who talked him into doing
- 48:45[ __ ] [Music] hosel what that's he's one of those
- 48:52character actors that butan he's famous enough that I know his name but I can't name
- 48:57maybe I'm giv too much credit as like a highbrow kind of actor there be like a
- 49:01lot of I could understand like there's that was come out of D strike wouldn't
- 49:06there be like lots of roles that would be out there to have been from or do you
- 49:11know the movie this is an odd thing to come to mind isn't Paul Jamar and the
- 49:14lady in the water that night shamalan movie I don't know why that's the one
- 49:18that comes to mind I think I put that movie Mostly out of my mind to be honest
- 49:23yeah that's not the one where the wind is the baddy no no no no no that's the
- 49:29one it is yeah Paul Jamar and Bryce Dallas
- 49:33Howard maybe a second look remember
- 49:39that anyway maybe he wants a change maybe maybe he hated that boring
- 49:46school teacher movie as much as we did I must say I like hostel I liked it
- 49:51a lot and actually I quite like the sequels as well actually just they
- 49:56didn't promise to do anything they didn't deliver on you know what I mean
- 50:00they said did you like hostelle yet would you like to see it again with
- 50:03slightly different characters yeah okay here's
- 50:08more he didn't try to do what saw did with its 10 sequels of like trying to
- 50:13get this deep mythology going yeah cuz I I'm lost now and I think there's a new
- 50:19saw coming out too but I'm a few behind at this point isn't the new Maxine
- 50:25coming out soon yes yeah yeah yeah there's a new trailer for that too that
- 50:30looks good yeah that I'm looking forward to i rewatched x recently oh yeah good
- 50:35movie very good very good movie it it's very derivative of a lot
- 50:41of movies that I really love so that's fine you know what I mean like okay you
- 50:45stole that from nightmare from uh yeah little bit of uh check Texas Chainsaw Massacre
- 50:52andit bit of spit on your grave like just all those old Grindhouse mov mov I
- 50:57also just love it like the one that is would normally be the Survivor is not in
- 51:02this one mhm like it's does change that a bit that's true yeah that's a good
- 51:08point that's a good point you're thinking from the start yeah it's gonna
- 51:11be J Ora she's the the nice s of Reserve no
- 51:18y no she gets it theia
- 51:25um yeah she's speaking ofia and speaking of Mario not
- 51:30of M God M have you watched the Super Mario Brothers movie yet no I should
- 51:35watch that it's very good I watched it a second time a couple of weeks ago witha
- 51:39because she quite likes it okay good and um yeah she loves yeah yeah they
- 51:46just you know how we were like dinosaur
- 51:49she likes dinosaurs uh he's it's not uh yeah but there yeah I think she'll like
- 51:55it but there's the the problem is the Bowser sequences can be quite scary cuz
- 51:59Harper's now at an age she never used to be scared of stuff but now she's aware
- 52:04that things can be scary so um like she loves a Little Mermaid but I have to
- 52:09fast forward anything with that [ __ ] swampy witch with the tentacles like
- 52:14she's like that [ __ ] is scared fast forward this
- 52:18shitel it's the same with uh with Mario 2 anytime they go into like Bowser's
- 52:24world I've got I've got to skip not supped to see Mario and princess jumping
- 52:28around but we haven't yeah we haven't talked about before the movie came out
- 52:32we talked about does he do the voice or not oh yeah yeah yeah and I think they
- 52:38tackled it in the best possible way so it starts
- 52:43off a commercial for their Plumbing business right and they introduce hey
- 52:49it's AIA Mario and they talk like this then it cuts back to the real world and
- 52:54they're watching it on the TV and then their normal voices they go should we
- 52:58have done the accent he's like yeah I think it works I think it works for the
- 53:01ad and then that's it and they they never do it again yeah okay because they
- 53:07remember they made a big deal about oh he's done something really
- 53:10special yeah I don't know why why they said that yeah it's cute but you know
- 53:15what they've done and I I can see why they did it but it kind of I I don't
- 53:19think it was necessary Princess Peach is quite a big character she's not just
- 53:23some damsel you you rescue the Android she's a proper character all the way
- 53:27through but she's voiced by Anna tayor Joy right okay but they've made her look
- 53:34like everyone looks exactly like they do in the games except for peach who looks
- 53:39very much like she does except with her eyes slightly too far apart is that true
- 53:44that's funny it just made her look a little bit likey but I was like H okay that's that's
- 53:51odd it'd be like if I voiced her and they just she suddenly had a big nose
- 53:55and i' be like was that necessary yeah didn't sh had a big dick yeah yeah
- 54:00massive dick but completely impotent that's irony can't use
- 54:08it yeah um speaking of big noses uh you
- 54:13know we talked a little while about uh um that Bradley Cooper was in trouble
- 54:18for doing Jew face in that Myro movie that he was in yeah so I watched that
- 54:25movie fine not like you could just tell him see him begging for that Oscar
- 54:30but not my kind of movie necessarily but people have done I saw a comparison of
- 54:36his face and Leonard Bernstein's face and they have proven that his nose in
- 54:41the film is bigger than Leonard Bernstein's nose in real life was oh
- 54:47that's a bit uh that's a bit on the nose cuz cuz even
- 54:53his family came out and went no we're not offended by him doing a big because
- 54:57okay write it down what did we say I'm writing it down okay on the nose it's
- 55:03down the bottom and yeah but yeah and his his family said no
- 55:09we're not offended he had a big nose it's fine it's the biggest nose not that big
- 55:14he didn't not that big yeah it's also a movie I'm never going to see so it
- 55:18doesn't really affect me at all I wouldn't any Oscar movie is not for me
- 55:24did somebody watch Alex gin's new movie or is there some other news about it
- 55:28okay no no I watched it I watched it uh and I've got a few things to say about
- 55:32it number one Matt you can watch this without getting angry it is completely
- 55:38apolitical interesting it's got nothing to do with Trump in any way and I knew
- 55:44they weren't going to mention Trump by name but it's not even like it's not
- 55:47even like oh America was divided along
- 55:49these lines no parallel universe they're
- 55:54fighting interesting I thought it was about the political split in the world
- 55:58today it's not so I think it's a metaphor for that but in order for no
- 56:03one to be offended from everyone in America to want to go and see it there's
- 56:07no goodies and no baddies it makes it interesting in that the conflict itself
- 56:11is very ambiguous which you're you're like there's no good guys or bad guys
- 56:15I'm not rooting for one side or the other the main characters uh bipartisan
- 56:21they're um journalists so you follow around a group of journalists and and uh
- 56:27it's basically the entire cast of devs but as group of journalists and they so
- 56:33they don't take sides so you don't feel in Affinity with one side or the other
- 56:37and in fact there's some great scenes in it where they meet up with soldiers and
- 56:42the soldiers are like what side are you on and they're like I'm not on any side
- 56:45but you don't know what side the soldiers are on so they don't even know
- 56:49what to pretend so it's interesting and I liked it and there's some great action
- 56:53pieces and stuff like that too ultimately though I think it was a bit
- 56:56of a cop out to do it and not make any political statements so it's it kind of
- 57:02in the end leaves you just a little bit unsatisfied right it's not yeah it's not
- 57:07really saying anything yeah and and that's fine not movies don't have to say
- 57:11anything but this like it has something to say but then doesn't say anything it
- 57:14certainly seems like from the trailers that does yeah I still think Alex Gand
- 57:19is one of the greatest science fiction writers writing for television and
- 57:23movies right now and he should stick to that genre because de MAA and devs are
- 57:30astounding accomplishments he's done with directing isn't he didn't he
- 57:33announce he doesn't want to direct stuff anymore he said that's fine because the
- 57:37stuff he writes is better than the stuff he directs so so yeah fair enough but
- 57:42write some more sci-fi that's where that's where he lives Alex you write it
- 57:46I'll direct it for you watch that yeah watch the [ __ ] out of that
- 57:51yeah problem sorted look we're getting towards the end of the show but there is some Star
- 57:56Wars news and I like to put Star Wars news in the main shop I don't like to
- 58:00Star Wars behind a pay you know what I mean yeah because mostly because our
- 58:05patrons have said please don't talk about St we're not going to pay for this
- 58:09[ __ ] what's happening I know the new acolyte shows out I haven't seen it yet
- 58:13I was going to ask if you'd watched any of it l can't you watch it because I'm
- 58:16not going to watch it and I need you to tell I'll watch it and I'll give you a
- 58:19review of it next week I'm almost to the point where I'm on principle not going
- 58:23to watch any more of the [ __ ] anymore because I am I I honestly I feel like I
- 58:29feel like and I this is just how I feel about it right now but this whole
- 58:35because there's more of it now right with this whole stuff about people
- 58:38saying apparently acolyte um has a lot
- 58:44of overtly gay themes which I don't care about but I don't want that's not what I
- 58:48want discussion around Star Wars to be about like I don't care about that and
- 58:51oh then you're a bigot Matt if you don't like this it's because you hate that's
- 58:54what annoys me that's what annoys and I saw apparently people now are
- 58:59saying um if you don't like this show it's because you're a bigot right and
- 59:03they said the same thing about the other shows as well and and it almost feels
- 59:07like I said I haven't seen it so maybe this is not true it's just stupid [ __ ]
- 59:11I'm seeing online and either way all of this conversation just pisses me off and
- 59:14I don't want anything to do with it but oh they're just doing it on purpose
- 59:18now they're intentionally putting these themes in to Anno because now they can
- 59:25say even if the show's bad they get it's like free marketing because they can
- 59:30just say wellow people who don't like the show I haven't seen it but I'm
- 59:33pretty sure it's not going to be over the top things but it's going to be
- 59:36people are vocal about that and then that just leads to have you seen Black
- 59:40Swan it's that level gay I'm pretty sure they don't have a
- 59:45black s seed in the acolyte I saw someone online say be watching that that
- 59:52now Star Wars fans understand what Star Trek fans got had to go through when
- 59:58Discovery had a black female lead and I was like sorry no no no Discovery was
- 1:00:03[ __ ] that's what that's what happened nobody cared people of color and I
- 1:00:09shouldn't say that no one cared right maybe there were some racist idiots but
- 1:00:12that's not why I didn't like Discovery and I know that's not why a lot of other
- 1:00:15people like Luke Discovery was a bit [ __ ] wasn't it Discovery season one was
- 1:00:20a bit [ __ ] and it was a completely different tone to what I was expecting
- 1:00:24from St what was good about Discovery was when they brought in the Enterprise
- 1:00:29and then that got it to spin-off show new Strange New World which is amazing but it wasn't
- 1:00:35about's Michael whatever the what was the character's name Michael something
- 1:00:39the main character from Discovery wasn't her it was the show no no no no no she
- 1:00:43was perfectly fine all the casts were actually perfectly fine that's what I
- 1:00:47mean see no the problem is is is people like that it [ __ ] annoys me yeah yeah
- 1:00:53people are out there and then people go oh you don't look but no there is
- 1:00:57there's other reasons but outside of those two extremes here's the thing
- 1:01:03leaning into it and now they're like encouraging going oh yeah it is only
- 1:01:07racist bigots that don't like the things we make it's like no no no [ __ ] off like
- 1:01:12but but that's it's a a cular cular gross circular logic right
- 1:01:17because if you start making a show not because you've got a story to tell but
- 1:01:22because you've got a point to prove you're already on the back foot that's
- 1:01:26probably not going to be a good show so if then what you're doing is bending
- 1:01:30over backwards to make it outwardly diverse and that's all you care about
- 1:01:34then it's going to be [ __ ] and people are going to call you out on it but then
- 1:01:38you're going to think it's [ __ ] because think thing that's bothering me
- 1:01:43about is I think they're incentivized to do that now right they're to lean into
- 1:01:47these controversial things so that they don't have to worry about is the show
- 1:01:52good or is it bad it doesn't matter if it's bad we can say it's because they're
- 1:01:56racist or or sexist or homophobic or whatever and cuz that's and I just I
- 1:02:00just don't like that look I'm pretty sure that's not their thought going in
- 1:02:05well then people online need to just shut up cuz they're ruining for Meine no
- 1:02:09never online is just a terrible cessful look at look at any any post on Mark
- 1:02:13Hill's page on Instagram and read the comments and be
- 1:02:17depressed yeah just him posting anything so because I saw someone say as well and
- 1:02:24and like this annoyed me too cuz I'm like a weird reframing this now they
- 1:02:27said that look at what armed best went through being a black actor in Star Wars
- 1:02:32and I was like because it wasn't cuz he was black what the [ __ ] are you talking about
- 1:02:38yeah could an albino it was norian
- 1:02:43Play Still sucked because it was criticized for being a racist
- 1:02:48stereotype opposite of that like we
- 1:02:52loved Meg best we hated Jar Binks like from day one we were like this poor guy
- 1:02:59but people were horrible to him but not because he was black because the
- 1:03:04character was garbage like but but here's the whole problem that said last
- 1:03:09week there are people who are to him because he's black as well and that gets
- 1:03:14lumped in and done together like I said there's this reframing that that that's
- 1:03:19what it was about it's like no no no no no don't [ __ ] do that and then so now
- 1:03:23I'm just like now you know what I'm out [ __ ] is rul was also [ __ ] garbage it
- 1:03:29just had white people in it so agreed didn't like that y did you hear George
- 1:03:34did we talk about this already people called him out and like oh your movies
- 1:03:37just contain a bunch of white people he's like they're actually aliens they're
- 1:03:43not that's a pretty like he doesn't give a [ __ ] what you
- 1:03:48think no no he doesn't yeah he doesn't care yeah but before we move off Star
- 1:03:54Wars agree with a ruined Star Wars for me basically and and and I feel always
- 1:04:00and when I see whether they're misquoting or whatever I see Kathleen
- 1:04:03Kennedy leaning into that interview saying oh yeah there were we've had
- 1:04:06issues with a lot of racists and sex it's like no [ __ ] off no did you did you
- 1:04:11guys watch that South Park movie where Cartman gets sucked into the Kathleen
- 1:04:16kennedia verse and everybody in the
- 1:04:18world is a diverse woman of color I
- 1:04:23still didn't get that I know the me yeah
- 1:04:29yeah yeah yeah I mean it wasn't as funny the premise itself was funny than the
- 1:04:32actual episode was yeah but I think Kathleen Kennedy is buying into her own
- 1:04:37hype at the moment because she did get criticized for trying to make things too
- 1:04:41woke right that was that was what everyone said about her when I don't
- 1:04:45think that's what her intention was but I think now she's taken up arms against
- 1:04:50all the [ __ ] who are saying that but what I think I mean maybe this is just
- 1:04:55my per of it is that everyone's talking about this and it's become a thing and
- 1:04:59it just seems to me like like this is not real like but everyone's getting all
- 1:05:02whipped up about it and when you look at something like Andor right which I do
- 1:05:07think is probably the best Star Wars we've gotten in a very very long time
- 1:05:10right um possibly ever how many people were talking about that the ratings were
- 1:05:15a bit [ __ ] highly critically rated not the most talked about then something
- 1:05:21like this comes out or [ __ ] whatever where you get people going oh people
- 1:05:26hate the female lead and they hate the the gays and they hate this and that and
- 1:05:29the other and it's like now now everybody's watching this thing to see
- 1:05:33what all the fusses about like it's like encouraging them to do stuff like this
- 1:05:39like I haven't heard anything about it we're talking about really no oh no I
- 1:05:44see it everywhere I just but but nothing good just people complaining about other
- 1:05:49people like oh you want there's a big complaint that people are making this
- 1:05:54week but it's it's not because he's black it's because they don't think he's
- 1:05:57a big enough of Star Wars fan so apparently not only do you have to be
- 1:06:01white and male to be in a Star Wars but you also have to be a Star Wars nerd
- 1:06:06because uh a guy called Charlie Barnett who plays
- 1:06:13someone in acolyte um was doing an interview and was saying that his
- 1:06:19favorite part of the old Star Wars was when Anakin blew up the death star and
- 1:06:22the whole internet I've G like
- 1:06:26[Laughter] and now the internet's like he can't be
- 1:06:31in a Star Wars did he maybe get confused when Anakin blew up the the the big
- 1:06:36Starship in The Phantom Menace maybe who knew what he was confused about he prob
- 1:06:40I mean he probably a 22y old actor who like wasn't born when any of these
- 1:06:44movies were made and he's just lucky that he's in a a show that pays him to
- 1:06:49be we wer Bor tell you doesn't [ __ ] about Star Wars Harrison Ford
- 1:06:55yeah that's that's right he also loves it when Anakin blows up the death star
- 1:07:01look I will watch the acolyte next week and I will give you a review great cuz
- 1:07:05part of me was like I want to watch this just to see if there's actually is this
- 1:07:10just a bad show that they trying to whip up some controversy about to you
- 1:07:16know to get people to watch it but then I was like no I'm not going to watch it
- 1:07:20then like I'm just basically I just want to remove myself from this situation now
- 1:07:23you know what I mean yeah like yeah it just seems gross everybody everybody
- 1:07:29I see talking about online I think you guys suck all if I was I was in a crowd
- 1:07:35of people and somebody said do you like Star Wars I'd be like no I don't want to
