  Speaker 1: This is John Carroll Lynch and you are listening to
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Movie Meltdown.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: What's up? Welcome to Movie Meltdown. I am Brian.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: I'm Misty.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: I'm Jay. And we're coming to you live via digital
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: recording from the outskirts of Lexington. Home of the Lexington
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Comic and Toy Convention.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: Woo!
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: At a different time of year. We are back for
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: the second time. They have branched out into the fall category.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: That's why the sun's all in weird places.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, seasonal differences and shifting planets and whatnot. It's all craziness.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: But yeah, we are back for the fall version.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: Yes, the first time.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: They're testing out the waters. Seemed like it went pretty well. Mm-hmm.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: We had reports that it's been pretty busy this weekend,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: so that is good. Saw lots of costume people.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: It was a lot. That's how we knew that this
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: was the correct weekend.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. We were driving up, and we're like,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: are we sure we're... Nope, wait, there they are. All right.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Usually when we're coming up here for this, there is
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: a shit ton of traffic around the convention area, the
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: place where it is taking place. There's usually traffic out
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: the wazoo, and it was like, we're kind of wondering,
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: I'm like, what's going on? And then we're like, oh, Yep,
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: there they are. We're good.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Waiting at the crosswalk. There they were in their crazy
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: outfits with their capes and.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: A fucking gambit, like.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: And then someone's gonna stop a crime. Some dude, Jay says,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: dressed as Gambit.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: He was kind of Gambit-esque.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: But then he forgot something and he had to make
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: the walk of shame back from the way he just sprinted.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: But he was sprinting.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Dude, he was fucking trucking.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: He was heading to go stop a crime and throw
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: some cards at him or something. And then all of
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: a sudden he just got.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: To the other side. Maybe he forgot his cards.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: He got there and all he had was a stick.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: He was like, well, I can't throw magical cards without
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: my magical cards.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: That's for poking dead bodies.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what you get a stick for. So he
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: had to stop and wait at the crosswalk to go
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: back again.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Lame.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: He did not go back nearly as epically as he
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: went the first time.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: There was like a fanfare when he ran the first time.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: He was just trucking it across the street in superhero mode.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: I was like, holy shit, what's going on?
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: He's about to go slam evil. He's going to go
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: put the knockout on this dude and take down bad guys.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: You could see the disappointment as he realized he forgot something.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: My keys.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Probably. Probably. I don't know. The keys, the cards, anything.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: His pass.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: That could have been it. I don't know. You could
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: just see the superhero crumbled within him.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Stupid real life things. Like I didn't bring my fanny
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: pack loaded up with my stuff.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Don't forget the fanny pack.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: That's an important piece.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Of your costume. That's where he puts the cards.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: That's how Gambit does it on the shows.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Does he?
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I didn't watch 97. Me neither. I've
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: heard really good things, though. People like that. that last
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: animated series that came out I'll get around to it
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: eventually maybe no maybe but yeah so many I've realized
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: certainly many times over the years but this time in
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: particular today I was like so many girls that are
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: half animals so many ears and tails on girls that
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: I don't even I don't even know what they're tied
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: to just some sort of crazy anime half fox girl
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: or half monkey or whatever they are I don't.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Know Yeah, I didn't notice as many. I only know
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: that one dog person that we thought might have been McGruff.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: I said it was McGruff. I really don't think she
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: was McGruff and probably would have been insulted if I
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: asked if she was McGruff. And also not known who
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: McGruff was because she was probably like 20.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: If that. Yeah.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: We're losing the McGruff years. References of dying right and
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: left these days.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: You should call McGruff the crime dog to solve those.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Who killed the old timey references?
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Time.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Time. Time has killed them. As we were standing in
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: front of people earlier. Because we also, as usual, go
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: look for movies and books and random things after we're
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: done at the convention. So I'm standing in the building
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: in the corner over there. And there's a girl who's
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: knelt down looking at movies. And the other one's just
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: sort of standing there. And she goes, have you seen
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Back to the Future? And the other immediately, without missing
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: a beat, goes, no.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: How do you live in this country and have not
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: seen back to the future? Come on now, get with
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: the program. I know she's still 20, but who cares?
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Get with the program.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: It's like when I went with the toy store and
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: I was buying the, uh, punk ahead action figure. And
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: the guy was like, so is this movie worth checking out?
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: I'm like, uh, it's one of the, it's a great movie,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: but don't go into it expecting like modern day, like
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: effects and everything, you know, enjoy it.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Like Stan Winston effects. I remember.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah. You gotta expect it to be like, You're not
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: going to have, you know, CG, a lot of CG
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: and a lot of, you know, that's what I'm saying.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: You're going to have more practical things. It's going to
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: be like, it's fucking better.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: It's going to look good.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: He's like, well, I don't know. That's the problem I
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: had with watching like the first Evil Dead movies. I'm like, well, fuck.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: And you smacked him.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: I'm like, just give me my pumpkin head.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Just ring me up, bitch.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: Give me my pumpkin head and let me go because
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: you obviously don't know. I don't know. You could be
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: a nice guy, but still. The first, Evil Dead, is
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: fucking classic. And I guess because I watched it in
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: the middle of the woods by myself, I guess it
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: scared the bejesus out of me. I was terrified.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: I remember renting it that first time and just kind
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: of knowing not even that much about it. Just sort
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: of knowing it by reputation. And I think 2 was
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: already out because I think I also knew the creepy
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: eyeballs staring at you in the skull box art on 2.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: So I think I just knew them as the first
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: 2 by reputation of always being at the video store
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: and me being a sucker for old VHS box art,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: both of which are classic and awesome VHS box art.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: So I was just like, all right, I need to
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: watch these. That first one, geez, it's just, it's weird
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: and disturbing, especially having not seen anything like that. I mean,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: now it's its own franchise and we've seen a bunch
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: of movies knock that off before, but like that first
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: time things are all banging around the cabin and stuff. It's,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: it's pretty creepy.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: It's amazing.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: So, yeah.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: I got Pumpkinhead. That was the extent of my excitement
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: for me.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, at least he knew it was a character
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: from a movie.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Actually, he reached for the wrong one first. I want
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: Pumpkinhead and he went to reach for one on the
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: shelf below. I'm like, oh, that is not Pumpkinhead.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Okay, so he did smack him, right?
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: I was just like, dude, come on now.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: What was he reaching for?
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: Not Pumpkinhead.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: I was like, if he was like way off. It
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: was like some creature that had big teeth.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no. It looked like the thing that lived in
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: the crate from like a The Tales from the Dark.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Creepshow?
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: Maybe Creepshow, but it had long legs, so I don't
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: know that that was it.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: That's also creepy, but still not Pumpkinhead.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: It was very much not Pumpkinhead. I'm like, oh, no,
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: that's not Pumpkinhead.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: I do not think so. Yeah. It's a generational thing sometimes.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: I don't like to pin too much on that, because
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: I feel like that's not an excuse. Because I know
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: somebody that I've come in contact with lately, and they're
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: massively younger and they constantly are trying to pin things
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: on generations like she'll be talking and she'll have like
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: a whole big story going she'll be like well your
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: generation like she'll go into this generalization i'm like number
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: one you don't know that second of all i feel
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: like kind of half of what you're saying is just
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: generalized nonsense it's not even like i think everybody's so
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: case by case basis.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: Especially like an example of what you're talking about even not.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Like she always uses that for like so many things
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: like every day I will hear her reference different people
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: of different generations and she'll be like well you always
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: do this and I don't even know what she's talking
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: about half the time I just know she constantly generalizes
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: but I'm like especially in references like movie references now
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: that's the weird thing going into like younger generations kids
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: because like they have access to everything so they may
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: have seen Back to the Future 20 times you don't
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: know like just because it's old doesn't mean old I'm
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: using quotes old to them doesn't mean they haven't seen
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: it because now they have access to it and they
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: certainly have the means to look up everything they want
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: about any movie ever and know whatever they want so
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: I think that's part of what's changing too is like
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: kids are like learning about stuff way more than we
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: did because we didn't have access to anything I was
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: like Buying books. I know. I don't even know how
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: to read. But I was getting reference books of weird
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: movies I'd never heard of before because that was the
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: only way to find out about stuff like that. Versus now,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: kids can dive into anything and half the time can
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: just click a button and watch it immediately. So it's
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: very different these days. So I don't sell them short.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: I don't expect that they've seen old stuff that I like.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: But I'm like, no, no, you can do your homework.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: You can get caught up. Equally as much as I'm
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: supposed to be watching new stuff, and I don't always.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know the last new thing I saw.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: I still see new movies, but I'm certainly not as
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: caught up as I'm sure some kid that's watching all
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: the new stuff as it comes out. But I at
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: least try to keep up with some of the new things.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: I don't. I'm the old person. It's like, what do
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: you mean they made another movie in general?
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Get off my lawn. I'm playing with pumpkin head out here.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Dude, seriously.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I'm just going back and buying old movies.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: I do that most of the time.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: On DVD.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: As you've seen today. i bought it today and yesterday
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: i bought old movies almost exclusively so this is all
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: i've done.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah and it's like nothing in particular it's just certain
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: movies i'm like yeah you know i want that movie you.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Know i mean building up your man movie collection.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Just movies in general i mean there's movies that they're
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: movies that i can like Veg out to and not
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: have to really get into Lethal Weapon 1, 2, and 3.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Classics.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Classics. Escape from New York. Escape from L.A. Stuff like that.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: That's one of the ones I watched yesterday.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: It's just silliness I can put on in the background.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: It's one of those I forget. I've seen Escape from
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: New York so many times. But having just rewatched it,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: it had been a long time since I watched it.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: I forget how like once he's in there, like the
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: setting up the thing is so like grand scheme of like, whoa,
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: look at this like crazy police state that they live in.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: And then like the freaking president's flying over and there's
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: terrorists and like all of that kicks in. And then
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: like the plan of like how he can get in
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: there from that point on, it's so low stakes. Like,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: it's just like, he just kind of wanders around and
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: looks in some buildings and see some punks hanging out. Like,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: but like, the most grand thing that happens, I guess,
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: is they throw him in that like wrestling ring and
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: he like gets in the fight with the big dude.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: And like, that's pretty much the end of the movie.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Like I always kind of think it's a bigger, more,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: you know, high stakes kind of a thing once he's
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: in there, but the rest of it's pretty low stakes.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: It's just him trying to not die and make it
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: back with the president.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: But it's a lot of just wandering around New York
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: in the dark.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: Are we going to talk about the convention? Like, What
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: we saw at the convention other than people in costumes?
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: Most definitely.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: We saw Jennifer Stone.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: The coolest person on earth.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: She was gorgeous.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Always.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: I'm sure she still is. Always. It's not like it
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: changed within the past five hours or anything.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Every day.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: Unless she's fallen off a rock by then.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: I see her posts on Instagram every day. Every time
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: she's on there.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Gorgeous.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Oh, duh. But also, super cool. As I was telling you,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: I was like, not only is she a super awesome actress,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: she's also a nurse. And not only like sitting back
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: on the sidelines working on a specialty area that she
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: hardly has to see people. She's an ER nurse. So
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: most of her days is just covered in grossness. And
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: sometimes she will go in detail in them when she
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: posts stuff. No thanks. And yeah, grossness, dealing with real people.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: That's the worst part. She's the superhero right there dealing
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: with people all day long. But then on top of that,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: she's like super sporty. And she's constantly posting stuff where
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: she's hanging off the side of a mountain. And she's
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: going like rock climbing. And like doing death divine stuff.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: And she's just a badass. She's an all around badass.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: And she's gorgeous.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Also that.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: For anybody who doesn't know. She was on Wizard of
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: Waverly Place. With the also gorgeous and fantastic Selena Gomez.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: And is currently back on there. They just brought it
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: back around. And they're wrapping up the reboot series. And
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: she came back for the last season. Awesome.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: I haven't seen any of the new ones. I don't
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: even know that I've finished the last ones. But the
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: show was amazing.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: It is pretty damn good. As I said earlier, for
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: what is supposed to be a, I'm using quotes, kids show,
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: it is really well written and some pretty solid comedy,
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: I think, too.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: Luckily, we did not see Chris Kattan.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was going to say, I think that was
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: the balancing of the scales. Like, we were super excited
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: to see Jennifer Stone, wanted to avoid at all costs
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Chris Kattan.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: I didn't even know he was going to be there until, like, today.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: I've seen the posts, and I'm just like, hmm. I
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: was creeped out with him back on SNL days. It's
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: not gotten any less creepy these days. Just not.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: I don't know what he does these days.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: I think most of them still end up doing stand-up
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: tour kind of stuff. So a lot of them just
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: get exclusive nights at specific stand-up places and tour around
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: doing that. It seems like a lot of the old
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: SNL cast I see doing that.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: Has he done anything extra creepy or just general Chris
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: Kattan creepy?
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, maybe. If you guys want to dig into it,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to. So I'll just assume I think
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: he's generally creepy and leave it at that.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: What if he's out saving puppies or something? Maybe that's
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: why we don't see him that often anymore.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Virtual pat on the back. I don't want to get
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: that close to you. A big thumbs up. Thanks for
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: saving puppies. I'll give you one of those if that's
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: the case. If not, I'll just assume you're weird.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: I didn't say he wasn't eating the puppies afterwards.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Allegedly.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: We don't know these things.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: He would never.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: So luckily he wasn't at the table. We didn't have
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: to see him.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: Didn't get to see Mark Summer though. Mark Summers?
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: I thought he was off washing his hands somewhere.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: Was he?
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: 60 or 80 times.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: Does he wash his hands a lot?
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: He's like super OCD.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: That was like the weird thing that came out after
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: his like double dare days. Like of all people to
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: have a weird super obsessive compulsive cleanliness kind of a thing.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: It was the guy who was surrounded by slime and
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: slop and grossness and Kids shoving their hands up into
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: a giant plastic nose.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: I loved that show when I was a kid.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: It was pretty entertaining, I gotta say.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: It was. It was great. Back when TV was fun.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: Now it's just kind of, eh.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: It's on. I watch things in the background sometimes. Occasionally
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: there's stuff I actually like, but it's mostly just on.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: Are we going to talk about stuff we've watched recently?
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Have you seen things?
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: No.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: That's usually the case. That's why I was surprised. I
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: was like, you've watched a thing? Because usually you're like,
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know how to watch the game.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: You went back and watched all of them.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: I've been currently in the re-watching of American Horror Story.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: All right. Did you start from the beginning?
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: I did. I started at the beginning. I've re-watched seasons
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: that I was not excited about re-watching. I'm getting ready
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: to watch one that I didn't want to watch it
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: the first time, so I didn't. So this will be
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: my first time watching it and I've not been looking
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: forward to it.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Which one is this?
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: Cult?
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: I pretty much don't know the difference. I know some
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: of them brought in new actors that I heard about
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: were part of it along the way. But other than that,
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I just originally didn't have the channel
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: it was on and then haven't gone back to dig
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: into it since then.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, I've heard good things. My friend Mel loves it.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: And then the thing that's got me... Because I've told... Apparently,
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: I'm Instagram friends with somebody who'd worked on it. Like,
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: she did, like, the... I don't know the extent of
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: what all she did on that one. She did, like,
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: all the costume work and a lot of the character development, maybe.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: That's a lot to deal with.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: And so she's like, you have to watch it. Because
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: when I said that I was going to, you know,
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: re-watch the series, you know, I might skip some, you know,
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: I might skip some seasons. She's like, you better not
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: be skipping any of my seasons.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: I did all of that work, and you're going to
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: watch it.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: So... I just finished with Roanoke last night. So that
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: means that cult is, uh, it's queued up and I'm
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: not dick. Cause the first time around, I watched like
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: maybe the first 20 minutes of it. And it was
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: just Sarah Paulson screaming and crying about the election. And
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: I was just like, Oh my God, this is stressing
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: me out.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, she's a really good actress.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: She's amazing.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: They would give her. Yeah. Better stuff. She's great.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: A lot. She's been in like every season thus far.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: It's not till later that she like skips out on
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: a couple of seasons. I think.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: She's got other stuff to do.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: I guess. So far, I have enjoyed every season that
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: I have rewatched more this time around than the original
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: time around.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: That's good.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah. It's just hard to go into cult.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: What's your favorites of the original season?
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: I think Asylum is amazing. And I think, I mean,
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: Coven obviously is my favorite because it's got Emma Roberts
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: in it, which I mean, she's in more seasons later.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: She's also in the Delicate Condition or whatever, which is
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: not one of my favorite seasons, despite the fact that
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: it has her in it, because it has one of
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: the other things that creep me the fuck out and
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: I'm uncomfortable with, which is people being pregnant.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I keep telling people to stop having babies, but
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: they never listen to me.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: I just, I can't, like, the whole opening sequence, you see, like,
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: belly stuff moving, and I'm just like, oh my god, gross.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: Usually body horror doesn't bother me, but when it's pregnancy people,
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: I'm just like, oh my god, I can't do it.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, babies are a weird thing, let me tell you.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: They're like fucking parasites.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, literally, for nine months.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: His boyfriend's not watched any of it, I don't think.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: He's been there for a couple episodes of a couple seasons.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: I'm not watching. I'm on my phone. I got my
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: headphones in.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: But sometimes you did use it as an excuse to
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: not go to bed on time. You would come back
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: in there and kind of watch the screen. I'm like,
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: what are you doing? You were not watching. You were
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: just trying to delay going to bed.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't want to go to bed.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: You can't make me.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Being an adult sucks.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you. I try not to do as much
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: of it as possible.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: That's stupid. Well, I got to get up at like
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: 3 in the morning, so.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: That's awful.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: I've done that. It's not good.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: But getting off at noon is pretty cool.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It's not good. I've played it. I don't like
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: that schedule.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's funny. You know, I used to
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: work at a bakery.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: And it was 3 to noon. And actually, it was
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: like 3 to 1. And then I was like, I'm
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: going to go get a real job with a real schedule.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: And it was like 7 to something.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: 7 to 4?
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: 30? or something like that.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: I did one of those 7 ones yeah and I was.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Like oh cool and then I switched jobs and went
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: to this job and it was back to 3 to
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: noon because it gets so hot in there which I
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: don't work in a bakery anymore because you know I
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: was like Working in a bakery sucks and it's hot.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: I need to go find a better job. So I
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: became a welder.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, how'd that work out for you?
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's hotter. It's hotter.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: It's hotter anyway and then you're standing next to a
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: flame the whole time.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then I'm getting burned and stuff and that's all,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: you know. But yeah, now I still leave it noon now,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: you know, which is better because it's not as hot
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: during the day.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: But I eventually switched closer to a regular world schedule
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: and that part makes more sense. Like that part. I'm like, yeah,
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: I can see this. I still don't want to be
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: stuck at work. So every day I'm just like, Oh,
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: why do I have to go to work? This is stupid.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: But getting up and going, you know, normal ish hours is,
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: is more functional as like trying to have a normal life.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: But normal is very relative anyway, for the likes of me.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: So none of it really makes any sense. So have
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: you been watching something other than what she's been watching?
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Me?
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Uh, No.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: No.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: The only movie-related thing that I have is Thrashing's 40th anniversary.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: It happened at the Skateboarding Hall of Fame last weekend.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: And I got an invite to go, but we couldn't go.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: Because your girlfriend's lame and won't get on a plane.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: I know that.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: You could have had the same amount of fun that
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: Floyd did.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: What do you mean?
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: How miserable he was.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, you know what? Layovers don't bother me, though, you know,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: because I'm not.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: Me reacting to him.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, whatever. Anyways, but he brought me back an Eddie
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Raddy board signed that was one of the daggers. He's
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: one of the daggers in the movie. So that was cool.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: So other than that.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: That's pretty awesome.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's pretty awesome. So, I got that, and he
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: brought me some shirts and stuff like that.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: So that's cool. So, this was a specific theater, or
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: it just was somewhere that they.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Were showing it? No, no, they had it at the
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Skateboarding Hall of Fame. Oh, well, that's pretty cool. So, yeah,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: it's cool. No big deal. So, he brought me some
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: stuff for help watching the shop and taking care of
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: his animals and stuff like that.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: It's a trade-off.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a trade-off, so it's no big deal. But
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: other than that, no, not really. Just collecting DVDs and
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: CDs because I'm eventually going to break away from Spotify
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: just because I'm tired of paying monthly subscription fees and
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: stuff like that and going to go back to my
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: MP3 player and stuff.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's pretty much.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: I don't want to pay for any of those. And
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: I think most of them still don't deliver very good
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: music options. No, they don't. So I don't bother with
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: any of it. I might put it on a certain,
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: usually a video service that also has music. And that
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: I don't pay for because they have a free version too.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: And it's not as many ads as I expected. So
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: if I put it on anything, sometimes I'll put that
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: on at work. But for my normal life, I did that.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: I've got a bajillion CDs from the olden days. most
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: of which I've just digitally transferred over anyway, and they're
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: all on my phone. So half the time, if I'm
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: going to listen to music, I just put it on
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: my phone and randomize it out of all the stuff
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: that's already there.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Well, I used to have that on my phone, uh,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: but then I shoot a lot of video on my phone.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: So awesome skateboarding videos in case you guys didn't know already.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I do a lot of skate video stuff, but, um,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: I do a lot of editing and stuff on my phone.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: I need to actually get a laptop and start doing
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: editing on my laptop instead of using my phone memory.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: I would think it's a lot easier. I can't stand
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: doing stuff on my phone. But having done more editing
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: stuff lately on the computer, it's not bad if I'm
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: on the computer.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. Maybe I need to get back
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: to a computer because I haven't had a desktop or
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: a laptop in probably 10 years. And it feels like
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: I do everything on my phone now, like all my
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: editing and everything's done. on the phone.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: I just don't like doing it that way. But there's
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: some good options on the computer, so yeah. I think
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: laptop would be fine. Well, I have watched some things.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: There was one I was thinking you might... I was
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: wondering if you'd seen, if not, had even heard of.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: I remember when it came out, but I just got
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: a chance to watch They Will Kill You. It just
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: came out earlier this year.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: I remember hearing about that, but I have not seen it.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: It's one of those, and I was sold initially because,
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, outside of the previously mentioned guest today, there's
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: few people cooler than Zazie Beetz. Like, Zazie Beetz is
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: so damn cool.
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: I have no idea what you're talking about.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Zazie Beetz.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: Repeating it's not going to make more sense.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: If you saw the second Deadpool, which I know you did,
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: she's Domino. Okay. So, she's super cool. But she's in
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: a lot of other stuff these days, but she's in
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: this one, and it's like a weird crazy like action
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: movie and I'm like alright I want to see this
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: it's a weird tone like once you get into it
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: it takes like about.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: The first 20 minutes or.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: So to be like alright I mean I think it
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: also gets less extreme like it seems like as soon
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: as the fighting type stuff starts it's just a weird
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: way that they're shooting and way that maybe they've edited
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: it like it just seems like choppy but maybe purposefully
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: done choppy I don't know it's very weird the way
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: that they like set up the action shots especially in
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: the beginning of the movie, which is you kind of
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: coming to terms with, wait, what am I watching? But
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: I was mostly sold as it continued on how weird
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: it is. Like it is just, she goes to this
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: building and like, it's supposed to be like a hotel.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: More or less.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: And they have a housekeeper ad that like, she's kind
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: of there for other purposes, but she's pretending to go
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: get this job and she gets in there and like
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: immediately it's just like, they're people just trying to kill her.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: And then, um, as it goes on it gets into
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: weirder and weirder stuff and I'm just like you know
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: for a relatively mainstream movie this is pretty twisted so
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: yeah it's entertaining if you like a ton of action
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: but it's also relatively gory so yeah weird gory stuff
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: mixed in with action.
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: I do like my gore as long as it's not
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: pregnancy gore yeah I.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: Don't think there's any baby action going on here so
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: yeah I think it's all just standard grossness and people
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: It may or may not die. There's that. Yeah, it's weird.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it's entertaining and she kind of sells it.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: So I was on board with it.
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: Other than that, I don't think we've watched anything else.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: Have you watched anything else?
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: I did watch Dead Man's Wire, which is the end
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: of last year. Gus Van Zandt put it out. And
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: it's interesting because I think it's Indianapolis it happened in.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: So it's actually based on a true story from like
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: the 70s. And they like shot half of it. I
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: think they actually shot a good amount of it in Louisville.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: Subbing in for Indianapolis, oddly enough. Because there are times
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: when I'm like, I think that is downtown. I think that's...
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: So it's interesting that they bothered to come back to
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: his hometown to shoot something that was also taking place
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: relatively close to this area anyway. But.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: Who was in that one?
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: This one is... Let me see. Everyone's favorite Bill Skarsgård. Yeah.
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: And then, I don't know the other guy. I don't
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: even know how to pronounce that. Dacre? It's D-A-C-R-E?
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: Seems like I should know that, because he's from Stranger Things,
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: isn't he? He is. Is it Dacre Montgomery? Yeah. Because
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: he was Billy.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's the brother. I don't.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: Know if it's Dacre, like acre with a D. I
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: don't know.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure he's good in it. They're both really
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: good in it. Like it's, it is a, he's good
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: as Billy.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: Billy's just a jacket.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's the thing. Like that's how, you know,
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: he's a hell of an actor. Cause like you, you
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: wouldn't dislike Billy so much if he wasn't a good actor.
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: You'd just be like, ah, that guy's so good at
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: being just an awful person. Yeah.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: He sucks in that third season. So I'm just like,
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: what is going on here? But yeah, he's, um, they're
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: both really good at it. Like it, it, it originally
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: took place. It's a guy who was, it's sort of
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: like that. What was the money monster? The one that
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: was like a guy that was losing money and took
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: somebody hostage. But this actually happened in the seventies. So
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: he like was getting screwed out of a like real
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: estate deal. So he thought, and so he took it
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: upon himself to go to the bank and he was
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: going to take the owner as hostage to like get
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: him out of his situation and get him back his
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: like deal that he thought he was supposed to get.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: And the owner wasn't there. He was, like, off on vacation,
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: you know, doing whatever he wants because he's a rich guy.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: But his son was there running the show. And so
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: he just was like, all right, good enough. You'll do.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: And he takes his son hostage. And he, like, the
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: title is, like, he hooks up. And they showed footage
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: of it afterwards. He really did this. He hooks up
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: a wire that's from him to a shotgun attached to him.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: And so if he does anything, if they, it's also
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: connected to him as the one to the gun so
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: if they shoot him and he like drops dead like
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: it also kills the other guy so he's got this
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: like rigged up little wired system that keeps it so
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: that he's constantly at gunpoint and also they can't kill
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: him or it kills the hostage as well and he
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: really did all that shit in the 70s so it's
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: it's an interesting story and you start to kind of
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: see his perspective, but then you really, you're still pretty,
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: you feel pretty bad for the other guy who had
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: nothing to do with it. Like his dad's a dick,
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: but like he didn't have anything to do with that.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: He's just like came into work doing his job. Like,
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: so that one's pretty interesting and had a, a real
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: world tie in that was pretty, pretty surprising. And it
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: was this, you see footage of it and it's like, no,
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: they're really close. Like they, they were pretty accurate on
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: this stuff when they recreated everything. So, Yeah, I was
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: impressed with it. Just Fans Ant still knocking out good movies, man.
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: According to the internet, it is Dayker. Like, Aker with
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: a D.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: Dayker. I don't think I'd ever heard it said, so
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: I guess that's why I didn't know what to do
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: with it.
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: Well, if you had Aker, Dayker.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just saying in general. For as much as
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: he was in the spotlight, I don't remember anybody ever
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: saying it in interviews or anything.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: I don't like how they break down his last name, though. Because,
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, usually Montgomery, I'm not going to have a
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: problem with. For them to say Monta-ga-ma.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: We need all the help we can get.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: They don't even pronounce the second M. I'm so confused.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: That's still too much M.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: Monta-ga-ry.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: I think that's... That ain't how words go.
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: I don't trust you, internet. Lies, I tell you, lies.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Have you done any other interesting geek activities? Hmm.
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: Boyfriend's been skateboarding a lot, which we already talked about that.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: Have you injured yourself any?
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, I haven't broken anything.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: That's a plus.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: I busted my elbow the other day in the pool.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: I started skating pools.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: I would think harder to find those around here. Well, bowls. Yeah,
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: we're not like an in-ground pool kind of a part
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: of the country.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: No, but they've built several parks. Yeah. Uh, and they
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: have like, uh, bowls with pool coping and stuff like
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: that tile around them to simulate pools.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: Cool.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: So I've been getting into that, but I slipped, uh,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: slipped in one of them. So I had a wheel
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: kind of slide out on me and, uh, fell and
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: one of my elbow pads rode up and then I
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: busted my elbow somehow. Not sure how that happened, but
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: that's about it. You know, other than that, I've gotten
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: pretty good at knee sliding out of falls and stuff.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: That's an important thing to learn.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: The hard way, probably.
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, I've just been skating a lot, probably three, four,
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: sometimes five days a week.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: That's a lot.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: I need to probably slow down and take a few
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: recovery days, but that's kind of hard to do when
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: you don't want to slow down.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: So, you know, I'm just, it's good if you want
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: to do it though. That's the thing.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of looking at it like we're only on
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: this planet for a short time. So, and you know,
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: I'm only going to be this young for so long,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: you know, cause, and you're pushing it already.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: I'm already pushing it, you know?
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: So, uh, next year you'll be a whole year older. Yeah.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: I'm not getting any younger. So yeah, but it's, uh,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: Not really. It's inspirational, but then it's also good to
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: know that there are guys out there in their 60s
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: that are still skating. That's true.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: Occasionally, every once in a while, we'll see. There was
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: somebody else I ran across on Instagram, too. It just
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: popped up probably because I'm watching your stuff, and it's
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: now starting to link me to other things that are
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: skateboard related. But there's another dude that.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Is like, hey.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: 53, just starting to start skating again. I was like, oh, okay.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: I know that guy. Same age as me.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: I was like, here we go.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: Let's do it.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: So it's a thing.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: The good thing is that a lot of the guys
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: that I grew up skating with have now all gotten
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: back into it too.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: Thanks to you, kind of.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, kind of thanks to me. I've dragged them back in.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: They're like, no, don't make me. Yeah. My busted knees.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: My hip.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of complaining about hips and backs
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: and stuff like that and trying to get people to stretch.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: That's one thing.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: Stretching's dumb. I don't want to do that.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: Hey, stretch for the fall, you know, not the ride. So, but,
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: you know, it's been a life-changing experience. I think Misty
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: likes me better now. I'm not as a stick in
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: the mud and.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: You're wearing crazy socks now.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, whatever.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: You used to, like, talk shit about guys wearing, like,
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: crazy fun, like, quirky socks.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: No, because I wasn't a fun person. I was pretty
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: much a stick in the mud and angry and just
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: not really happy, you know.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: I've been there.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: So, yeah.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: Maybe you need to start skateboarding.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: I barely am functional at this point. There's already creaking
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: and popping and weird things going on, so I'm just
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: trying to keep moving. If I keep moving, everything will
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: keep working, but So I'm trying not to be overly stationary. Yeah. Yeah.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Movement's key.
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: But I, I, as I've discussed a lot more lately
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: and with other people getting into doing more podcasting with
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: different people and crossing over and this, this is the
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: one thing that I enjoy doing. So it's like over
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: the years I've been like, what am I doing? Why
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: am I still doing this? And then like recently I've
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: been like, no, screw it. Like this is, this is
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: what I like doing. This is what I was doing
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: before there was podcasting. I would hang out and talk
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: about movies and be geeks with other geeks. And like,
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: that's what we did. And like, then I found a
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: way to record it. I was like, Oh, this is
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: its own thing now. So now it's like this many
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: years in, I'm like, what am I going to not
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: do this? And just sit at home and be bored
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: as well as annoyed at the world. It's like, I'm
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: still slightly annoyed at the world, but like the few
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: times I enjoy myself is when I, get involved with
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: other geeks and talk about movies and talk about pop
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: culture stuff. And just that's, that's the best part of
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: life at this point. So it's like, yeah, yeah, let's get,
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: let's get together and do this. Is it just me?
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: Or have you noticed that like pop culture is kind of,
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: maybe it's just me, but I'm like pop culture kind
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: of like trying to think how to word this today
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: doesn't exist. When you think about pop culture, it's all
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: from the 80s and 90s. And maybe the early 2000s.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: But is there pop culture being created now that we
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: don't know about?
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, there is, just because you look at what
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: caught on this last year. And again, I'm mostly in movies,
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: so that's the thing. As much as I think specifically,
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: not to play the game of your generation, but Gen
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: X kids were like a dividing line. We grew up
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: watching pop culture stuff. Like, World War II kids didn't
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: have none of that. They're like, shut up and go
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: get a job.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: Or go to war.
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: These are your options. Like, they just didn't have time
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: to indulge in that. And Gen X kids came along
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: and were just like, ooh, Gilligan's Island.
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: This is awesome. Cartoons. Yes.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: Like, everything they did, like, they had just enough time.
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: They still were weird hardcore kids and they were out
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: there biking around and skateboarding and getting into trouble.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: Well, I know them and, like, millennials and maybe kids...
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: my kid's age, but a lot of her pop culture
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: stuff is my stuff. You know?
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: It is, but they're creating, again, I think most of
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: that new wave of kids has shifted internet. Everything is
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: so internet based because it's been there since they've been conceived.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: Well, no, I mean, my kid's still like, when she
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: talks about like, okay, her, she's into pop culture, but
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: she's into like, Godzilla. You know, Mystery Science Theater. Like, music, like,
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: stuff that I raised her on That, unfortunately, she can't
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: really talk to other kids about.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: I think that all factors into the parents, too. Because
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: I know so many, again, the geeks that I talk to,
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: a lot of their kids are like that. But that's
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: because they were such hardcore geeks into that kind of stuff. Yeah.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: That they just immediately, like, sometimes without even trying. Sometimes
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: without even forcing it on them. Just, like, because it
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: was always around. By osmosis, they picked up that level
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: of geekiness and that specific types of things that they
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: were into.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: But I have noticed a lot of the kids, because
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: it's funny, like, okay, now we're old because my coworkers
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: are now my kids' age. You know, people coming into
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: the workforce are now my kids' age or younger. But
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: I notice they're always, like, referencing, like, SpongeBob and stuff
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: like that, which is kind of funny because, like, I
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: watched a lot of Spongebob with my daughter growing up.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: And you're not even a stoner, is the weird one. No.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: Because that has its own group.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: But it was just so mind-numbingly stupid. And I'm into
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: some stupid-ass shit.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: It's entertaining. They know what they're doing.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: It's entertainment. Just mindless entertainment.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: They know what they're doing.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: So, like, they'll reference shit and stuff. But I get it.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: And they're like, what? You know. Just dumb stuff. You know.
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: But. See, I think that's because I ask we were
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: playing this game of like, do you know what this is?
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: is earlier yeah i was asking misty about the amazing
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: digital circus and i was like are you familiar with
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: that which i don't think you are nope still not
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: but That, I mean, it's, like, a weird thing that, like,
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: some random dude, like, I know minimal about it, but
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: I was like, I've heard other people talk about it, but, like,
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: it's a guy that just started doing this animated thing
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: on his computer, and he did it, like, pretty much single-handedly. And, like,
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: it took so long because he was doing it the
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: old-fashioned way, like, him by himself, basically. And so there's only, like,
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: eight or ten episodes out there, and it was over
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: years for him to get that long. But by the end,
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: it got picked up by Netflix, and... It had this
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: huge following with all these new kids. And then it
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: like theatrically, the last episode ran in theaters and had
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: like a huge turnout and they're selling like tons of
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: go to freaking hot topic a couple of months ago.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: And it was wall to wall digital circus kids. Like
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: it was nothing but merchandise for that thing that again,
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: adults had no idea what this was.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: I think maybe a, You've.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: Probably seen the characters and went, what the hell is that? Because, yeah,
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: it's like I saw them and went, wait, that's familiar,
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: but I don't know what it's from.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because I asked my daughter about it and she
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: wasn't into it, but she said her sisters were into it.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that girl. She's like the main, yeah, she's the
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: main focus. She's on all the merch and like, but
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: it's like kind of weird and dark from what I've heard.
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: So it's not like kid stuff. It looks like it
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: would be totally kiddified.
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: The Amazing Digital Circus?
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: Uh-huh. It looks like it would be super kiddy, but
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: like once you get into it, it's a lot of
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: like existential crisis and like again that's what kids are
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: like super serious now so they like they identify with
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: that stuff they're not dumb like they're they're ignorant sometimes
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: because they're kids but like they're the new wave of
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: kids like if you give them the right stuff they're
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: smart enough to process this stuff so it's like i
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: actually have kind of hope for the future with with
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: kids coming up because then you also look at like
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: that massive pushback in theaters and a lot of that
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: was like kids off the internet it was it was
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: obsession and it was back rooms and like both of
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: those were, like, 20-year-old kids that started doing nothing but YouTube. Like,
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: they came up on YouTube. My daughter. Because, yeah, because
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: it existed since they were born. And, like, this is
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: how they learned to express themselves. And, like, this was
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: their art form.
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: And they immediately, like, finally some network, you know, studio
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: bigwig somewhere went, oh, wait, we can make money off this.
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: Hold on. Throw them a couple bucks here. Let them
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: make something. And, like, people showed up in droves. And, like,
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: that stuff, like, especially something like, Because Obsession is just
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: like old school horror, essentially. It's well made and well acted.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: But like the back rooms is so weird and is
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: so specifically like born of the Internet that there's no
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: way this movie would have ever existed on its own.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: Like had the base not been built for a decade
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: or more on the Internet, it wouldn't have caught up
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: with all these other. again, more square people that weren't
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: all that into it were also showing up going, wait,
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: what are these kids talking about? So it's like, I
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: do see, like, there's this weird push of pop culture
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: that kids are into that is just sort of, like,
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: out of the wavelength of what, you know, grown-ups are
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: paying attention to, but, like, eventually it's getting picked up
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: just enough for them to start making money off of,
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: the important part, and then it catches on.
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: Well, the other pushback I've noticed, too, with kids is, like,
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: there's this whole movement towards physical media again.
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've seen that lately, too.
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: I'm 100% on board with that. Like, my kid's asking
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: me about CRT TVs. And I've got one, but she's
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: not going to get it. Because that's ours, you know?
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: Because she's going back and playing Nintendo 64. Is it
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: the one in the bedroom? Yeah, it's the one in
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: the bedroom.
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: That was hers originally?
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: Was it?
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: She doesn't even know that.
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I bought it. Or somebody bought it. We
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: bought it. I don't know. Either I bought it or
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: you bought it. I don't give a shit. That's my
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: Conan TV.
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: That's your sick, need your Conan medicine TV.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: For people who don't know, if I ever get sick
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: with the flu, the only cure is watching Conan the Barbarian,
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: Conan the Destroyer, and Red Sonja.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: Part three in the trilogy.
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, part three in the trilogy while being completely blitzed
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: on cough syrup and NyQuil. Usually I just drink a
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: bunch of NyQuil and then go into a weird... You
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: cocoon yourself. Yeah, I cocoon myself and sweat it out
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: like a sweat lodge and go into this crazy Conan-fueled,
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: you know, tripping balls fever dream. Yeah, it's wild.
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, that first Conan movie is pretty trippy anyway.
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: It's very art house for something that became just, let's
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: slash people up with swords. But I'm like, truthfully, it
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: had a real director. It had like actual weird visuals
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: that like you wouldn't expect for, you know, the next
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: two became way more popcorn.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: First one's pretty, pretty trippy.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: First one's great. Second one.
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: It gets a little campy.
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: I liked the second one at the time. I have
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: not watched it a million years, but it's way more popcorn.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: It is. And then, uh, Of course, Red Sonja. That's
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: a great movie. It's silly, but it's good.
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I think that's a push. I think the
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: last half of this push was like, but vinyl has
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: been a thing forever if you were a vinyl dork.
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: But like kids getting introduced to media in general, I
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: think vinyl was that first thing that were like, Oh,
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: this is what you do. This is the cool thing.
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: And using air quotes. Yeah.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: Even vinyl.
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: But even CDs have caught back on like in a point.
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: That big Sony thing recently, it's kind of kicked everybody
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: in the ass. And they were like, yeah, You don't
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: own anything you get from them. Oh, yeah.
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: That didn't help on their part. Yeah, yeah.
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: The stuff with the video games, that's really pushed kids
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: into going back to, like, the old video games that
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: their parents had that they kind of grew up with.
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: Music is another one. I noticed a lot of kids
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: are going back to wired earbuds just because they say
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: the music quality is better.
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: I just don't like... I barely use the wireless ones,
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: and I hate trying to connect them, because half the time,
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: one or the other doesn't want to connect.
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God. Dude, you have no idea how many arguments...
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. The arguments I've heard between boyfriend
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: and his headless... Headless. His wireless.
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: He's going to be headless if he don't watch himself.
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: His wireless headphones. Oh, my God. I'm like, dude.
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you. That's why eventually I just went back
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: to the wire.
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: I'm like, it's fine.
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: I'll just yank it on stuff every once in a while. Yeah.
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: The crappy thing is now is like most phones don't
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: have a.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: You got to use the bottom jack, the power jack.
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: That's the only one I use.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: But still, that's an extra dongle you got to buy.
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: You can't.
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: Dongle.
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what it's called.
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: It's called a dongle. They have a headphone jack, but
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: you can't put it in there because the case won't
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: allow it to go in all the way. Oh, yeah.
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: And it unplugs itself.
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: Again, which is why I'm going back to an MP3 player.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: You know? That, and I don't need alerts every five seconds.
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: I'm busy working, you know? And I'm getting alerts on
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: my phone, so I got to stop what I'm doing,
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: walk over and look at my phone. Just to see
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: that it's like, Sam's Club is running a special. Dude,
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: I don't fucking care.
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: Mine tells me every time some random person posted a photo,
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't, okay, fine, later I'll look at it.
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: Why do you need to alert me of this? Yeah,
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: I've muted all my notifications to that, but I still
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: get dumb texts from my coworkers.
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, yeah.
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: You know, notifications either from Sam's Club or Pull Apart
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: or Something dumb that I've subscribed to and then I've
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: got to keep typing stop. Oh, you've unsubscribed from it.
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: Then I get messages again.
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think every time I've tried to stop, they
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: still keep sending me. I'm like, what's the point of
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: offering this thing? Every time I unsubscribe to an email,
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: it still shows up two days later. I'm like, what's
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: the point? Yeah. But yeah, I mean, I think a
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: lot of that's kicked in with the last generation and
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: a half of kids that have started picking up on like, oh,
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: this way wasn't, you know, they made fun of us
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: for still doing that for a while. But eventually they
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: were like, oh, well, this part's kind of cool. So
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: they started picking and choosing which parts of it they liked.
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: And like, I think as the kids get older, they're like, well,
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: this is cool.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, that and the fact that like, if I
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: want to watch a movie, and I don't have it
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: and I go on streaming service and they don't have it,
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: then I'm, I can't watch it. Yeah.
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's, well, and I'm just so, and this
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: is a regular thing that I complain about. I'm just
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: so sick of all the ads. Like that's the, I
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: will go, but cause now you can go find, even
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: if it's like a lame DVD, it's like, you can
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: go buy a lame DVD for a buck, but I
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: can get in and out of the movie in an hour.
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: And a half versus over two hours.
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: Sometimes, sometimes it's like two and a half hours for
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: a regular movie because they, one of six ads will
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: pop up. And then 15 minutes later, one of six
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: ads again. I'm like, really? I'm like, I don't need
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: to be here all day. I've got other stuff I'd
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: like to do instead of just make this mini series
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: go on all day. Like, just let me watch the
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: movie and be done with it. And I'll be back
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: to watching an old DVD because of that.
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: So they're probably learning that the hard way too. Like,
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: why are all these ads on here?
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: Well, that, you know, um, The fact that people were
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: buying games and stuff like we had talked about before,
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: and then they just erased everybody's games.
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: Just yanked your movies out from under you.
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: You don't own it. Yeah, you don't own it. Well, yeah,
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: that's why I'm buying physical media again, so that I
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: do own it.
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: I never stopped. I never switched to digital on anything, really.
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: Everything I bought, and kind of for that reason, like,
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: I still bought CDs for the handful of new music
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: I would buy. If I could find it on CD,
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: I would buy it just so I'd have a hard
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: copy of it.
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've still got a lot of my old CDs.
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: I still listen to a majority of the same music
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: I listen to.
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: I do, too.
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: There's some stuff, though, that I've kind of branched out on,
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: like some Synthwave. I'm trying to think. There's some other
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: stuff that I don't have that I can't get that's
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: either local music or... some more obscure punk that is like, Oh,
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: it was only available on a seven inch and now
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: I can't find it. And if I do find it, uh,
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: they want like some stupid amount of money for, you know,
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: I'm still, it's like just, you know, certain things like I'm,
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to find, uh, Thrasher magazine, skate volume 10.
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: They made it on cassette and I think they might've
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: made it on CD, but my buddy, uh, Josh, uh,
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: He had it on cassette tape, and we used to
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: listen to it every day when we were skating up
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: at his house, because he lived out in the middle
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: of nowhere, but he had a paved driveway, and it
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: was a fairly large paved driveway, but what was even
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: better than that is he had a parking block out there,
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: and I don't know where he got the, he probably
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: stole it, but He had a parking block.
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: Allegedly.
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: He's dead now, so. Nobody can come back and get him.
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: But we would wax and skate that parking block for,
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: you know, just hours while he was blasting that music.
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: So that, that's gotta be early, like, Early 90s. 89
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: or 90 is when it came out, and I just
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: have not been able to find it. You found one
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: copy in Germany, I think, right?
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: I found a cassette tape.
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: A cassette tape in Germany, but then it was like,
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: what was it, like $ 60?
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was $ 30 for the cassette and then $ 30
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: for shipping.
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: $ 30 for shipping? I'm just like, eh.
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of that stuff that I... Yeah, because
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: I've noticed looking for stuff that I have... Sometimes I'll
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: have the CD and I'll be like, oh, maybe I'll
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: just see if I can find it streaming just for
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: the hell of it. See if it's on YouTube. There's
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: some stuff that just isn't. It's a weird compilation that
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: I bought on CD because I'm a weirdo. And then
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: I'm looking for it and I'm like, I can't even find...
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: No one has bothered to transfer this weird compilation from
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: 30 years ago onto CD onto YouTube.
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, somebody actually put this on YouTube. So that's the
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: only way I've been... able to listen to it. Yeah.
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: And I don't even know how I found it or
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: how I came across it, but it popped up and
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: I was like, holy shit, I haven't heard this in
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: like fucking 30 years. And I was like, now I
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: got to find it. Surely it's out there. And then
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: I went to look for it and yeah. Good luck, buddy.
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: That's the thing. I will make use of the new
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: technology because that's, I love the weird stuff, especially the like,
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: I don't want to take money from anybody. Like if
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: it's stuff that's still licensed, you know, go buy the
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: new thing. But, like, the stuff that's gone into public domain,
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: the stuff that's totally lost and nobody even knows who
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: owns Wright's Den anymore, and people stick that stuff on YouTube, like,
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: that saves it. Like, that salvages it for future generations that, like,
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: people want to hear this music and want to see
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: these movies and, like, sticking them out there and letting
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: people pull it and, like, work it into the dark
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: web that exists out there with all of our stolen material.
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: It's like, well, you know, for the stuff that's not...
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: licensed it's like i like that it saves that kind
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: of stuff so i will definitely make use of finding
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: stuff like that if if that's the situation it falls
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: into that is just lost to the ages.
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: Otherwise yeah luckily a lot of the synthwave stuff is
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: on bandcamp because the artists are so small yeah that
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: i can either buy physical copies from them because they
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: make like limited numbers of cds and they actually even
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: do vinyl too which is pretty cool because earlier in
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: the year uh magic sword and uh was it dance
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: with the dead yeah dance of the dead and magic
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: sword played in louisville and i got a dance with
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: the dead vinyl like a colored vinyl and actually got
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: everybody to sign it which was cool because at the
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: end of the show i was like hey can i
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: get everybody to sign the vinyl and they were like
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: yeah you know yes please that's awesome you know i
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: was like make it out to me because I'm not
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: going to sell it. I'm not going to put it
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: on eBay. I want it made out to me.
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: You know, that's carrying over because that's again, old man
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: that I am. But every once in a while, because
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: of random things will pop up on streaming. I will
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: find new stuff. So there is in this last eight
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: month period, I had never heard of this band, found them,
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: was like, Oh, I actually like this overall what they're doing.
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: And then like their latest album, there's like a whole
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: new aspect to it. And I'm like, this is really good.
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: They were coming to town. I went and saw them
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: in person. Everyone else there was like half my age.
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: But I'm like, I went to physically see a band
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: live because I heard of them. And like, this is
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: the way it used to go. These guys were cool.
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: And I went and saw them play live. And then
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: they were selling merchandise. They had CDs. And they were
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: all signed by the band. And I was just like,
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: this is awesome. And I bought that CD. And I'm
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: listening to it on my phone. So it's like, it's all...
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: still kind of going on. It's just a little clunkier
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: in the way that it works, but it's still for
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: anybody that's paying attention or any artists that are putting
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: an effort in, it's still out there. So it's like,
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: you just got to look for that stuff. Yeah.
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: You know, I went with my daughter because my daughter
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: got me into that music, which is, you know, it's
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: kind of funny because I had my kid, like I
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: introduced her to like kind of industrial and, uh, Some
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: of it's her mom, too. It's both of us because
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: we all listen to a lot of the same stuff,
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: but a lot of industrial, alternative, goth, stuff like that.
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: I introduced her more to the electronic stuff because I
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: was always more into club music and techno. It's not
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: really cyber goth.
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: House is a little too dancey.
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, not house, but, like, just definite, like, you know,
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: hardcore techno.
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: And then she started getting into, like, dark synth.
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: And.
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: There's such, like, layers upon layers of all of this stuff.
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like.
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: Subsections of, like, metal bands on, yeah.
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: Dark synth, and then chiptune, and then... What was the
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: other one? There's, like, some of it's, like, dream wave
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: and mall wave. And, uh, like I get into mall wave,
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: fucking love mall wave.
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: Shoe gaze was just the beginning. Yeah.
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: You know, but, uh, mall wave is really good. Chill wave, uh,
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: stuff like that. That's just, you know, relaxing.
• 56:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: She kind of, kind of got me into that. And that's,
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of cool because, you know, it's
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: like I've influenced her, in one way and then she's
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: influenced me into listening to music too.
• 56:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: And, uh, it's been pretty fun. Um, it's funny cause
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: her mom doesn't like a lot of what she listens to,
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: but it's like, so that makes it even more me
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: and me and her have a lot of the same
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: music tastes, which is kind of funny, but, uh, for
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: the most part, but she doesn't like, I don't think
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: she likes like early, early punk. I mean, she likes
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: Ramones and clash and stuff like that. Devo, but, Um,
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: she doesn't get into like, uh, uh, some of the
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: other stuff that I like, you know, I mean, she's
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: not like a suicide, early suicidal tendencies fan, doesn't get
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: into thrash metal or anything like that, but that's okay.
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: There's some kid out there that's into him. It's fine.
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: It's no big deal, you know?
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: So it's all coming back. But, I mean, that's also
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: part of what we see at these conventions, too. Like,
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: there's so many kids out there. And, like, I think
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: that's part of this wave that's changed over the last 10,
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: 20 years, too, is, like, people are physically going out
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: in the world again for specific events like this. Maybe
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: not as much as, you know, we used to back
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: in the olden days, but that's because we didn't have
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: good stuff at home to do either. So, like... there
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: is this kind of stuff that like is, is bringing
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: people out. Like there's people physically creating, you know, media
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: and people that are making these movies, making these shows.
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: And then you get people that are excited to come
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: out into the real world and meet them and like
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: shake their hand and get an autograph and take a photo.
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: And like, that's all real physical, tangible things that are,
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: like going on and are bringing people out. And specifically
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: we see a lot of kids there.
• 58:02
  Speaker 3: We did see a tiny Columbia today. Yeah.
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: It's like, there's, there's whole new generations that are getting
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: caught up in the, in the convention part of it,
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: which again is very healthy, I think, because you're seeing
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: these are real people. Like this is an AI generated nonsense.
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: Like this is people writing this stuff. This is people
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: shooting these things. Like, and then they're physical people that
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: are out there having to make a living afterwards. So
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: they do these conventions and like, this is, number one,
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: you get out and support them and that's good, but
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: you're also like giving them another way to survive and
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: like be able to live until the next movie that
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: they make. So it's like, this is all part of
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: a bigger system that like, I, I still, I'm glad
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: to kind of see new generations embracing this too. Yeah.
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: They get influenced by it. They go off and create their,
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: their own thing that's new. And then the cycle continues.
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And they all go and draw crazy art. Yeah.
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: Everybody there is like 20 years old and drawing crazy art.
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: Half girl, half animal art. Like, there's so many crazy,
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: dreamy girl stickers in there, which, hey, we bought some
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: of that, too.
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but there's, like, a lot of cryptid stuff.
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: And, like, tons of that's kicking in now.
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: Cutie, like, animals and stuff like that, you know?
• 59:09
  Speaker 3: The cutie little Cthulhu's and stuff.
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, stuff like that. I'm just like, why isn't my
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: kid at these things? But then I realize she's got, like.
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: Well, she doesn't have any social skills, but then Misty's like, well,
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: most of these people don't have.
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: Any social skills either. I was gonna say, this whole
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: place is nothing but people with no social skills. That's
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: why we're all here. We're gathered together.
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think she has... It's not her thing because
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: she has her Patreon and then she has her store
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: and everything like that. So she just sells her art
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: on her store. And she's pretty successful at that. And so,
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: you know, again, she doesn't have to go out in
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: the real world and meet people.
• 59:43
  Speaker 3: She doesn't have to leave the basement.
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: She doesn't have to leave the basement.
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: It's difficult for some kids. I might have spent a
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: lot of years in the basement. What do I know?
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: But I occasionally get out and meet people.
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, technically, she's not in the basement.
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: She's upstairs, but... But we bought stuff. You got stickers?
• 59:59
  Speaker 3: I did. I got cryptid stickers.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you got cryptid stickers.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: Adorable cryptids.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 3: They are adorable.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: And see, I'm still doing things in the 3D world
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: because I bought minifigs. So, one of which might be legal.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: The other one looked kind of knock-off-y, but I don't
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: normally get into the knock-off ones, but this one was
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: at least entertaining. But yeah, you're building things and creating
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: things three-dimensionally. These are all real-world things. So, get out
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: in the world and buy things and meet people and
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: do things maybe not all the time but every once
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: in a while leave your basement and go out and
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: do cool stuff and connect with people at conventions and places.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: Where you buy conventions like.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: Conventions like the lexington comic and toy convention So we
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: do want to thank them for letting us be part
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: of the show. They are available at lexingtoncomicon.com. So go
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: there and start booking. Normally I say for next year,
• 1:00:49
