0:49
Holdo, yeah man, Uh so we're doing a supplemental this week. We're
0:54
gonna be talking about June part two. Yeah, it's it's the big have
1:00
a good conversation. Got Chazz Viz in the in the chat or just saying
1:03
good morning and how much he hates Daylight Savings. Good morning, Chazz Biz.
1:07
Yeah you been. I am doing good. It's been a couple of
1:12
weeks. So, yeah, we have we have snow this morning here in
1:19
Michigan. Yes it is uh, it's snow. We got a dusting,
1:26
nothing major, but it's uh, you know, old man winter. This
1:30
is Michigan and and we get you know, we've had snow in April and
1:34
May and it just never wants to go away, and so you know,
1:41
I am a strong believer in the groundhog, or I had been the groundhog
1:45
promised an early winner this year on early spring. Yeah, I'm starting to
1:49
think he's a liar. Yeah, I you know, I'm starting to think
1:53
groundhog hunting might be a good idea. So I'll go that far. Perhaps
1:59
we should trust rodents for weather. Well, that that could be. Yeah,
2:02
that could be. Yeah. I just did an oil change on my
2:05
motorcycle yesterday and this is the way that I get repaid. Oh wow,
2:09
yeah, yeah, that's no good. Well, how oh, I'm good.
2:15
I'm good. We're we're at the weird point where it is literally below
2:20
freezing in the mornings and then by the afternoon it's like in the mid forties.
2:25
So it's like you have to bundle up in the mornings and then by
2:29
by the day you're you're fine. It's very weird. Oh look at this
2:34
Max Greens from Ireland. Oh well, hi there, Oh, put another
2:38
shrimp on the barbie there, Max, Abe, I don't I don't think
2:44
that's an Australian thing. Oh, okay whatever, I'm not good with countries,
2:47
but yeah, put another chamrock on the barbie. I don't know.
2:55
I just wow, I think we just assaulted two countries. I think so
3:07
sorry about that. Ireland that's the same as Scotland. Right, Oh god,
3:14
I know that that's bad. I know that. Well just lost probably
3:20
at least three listeners, yes, at least audio. Yes, it is
3:29
the international beat. We're done well, be that. This is a supplemental.
3:38
Let's get right to the entertainment news. Let's do it all right.
3:46
So our first news story comes to us. Actually it's a little bit of
3:51
sart trig news. It's from trickmovie dot com and we are finding out a
3:55
little bit more about The Cards season two thanks to Percard season three showrunner Terry
4:03
mettallis. So what we're learning is that the paraon executives team that Percard season
4:12
two was a little two star trek. So yeah, so what does that
4:18
mean? Yeah, Basically, Terry Mettella's state an interview with something called Master
4:26
Replicaly Collectors Club zoom Chat last month and we're just now getting worried about it.
4:31
Oh hey, Max is back and he says he's don't worry, very
4:36
good, very good, no international incident. Basically, Terry Mendallas was saying
4:43
that a lot of factors went into play as to what happened in Pocards season
4:47
two. H he didn't talk about. COVID was a big, big problem
4:50
for them. They would get shut down a lot because people would get sick,
4:56
and then what ended up happening is as they were getting shut down,
4:59
in would get shut down for weeks at a time. The deadline for the
5:03
show wasn't changing, right, so they had to just throw stuff together last
5:09
minute to make it work, which if you watch that season kind of fits.
5:13
It certainly does because that did feel thrown together. Yeah, yeah,
5:16
very much. He did say that they originally had some different plans for season
5:21
two, but they were kicked out by the executives. One of the plans
5:28
was to make Gynan's bar actually more of an alien hub, like all these
5:32
aliens disguised as people, so like you would go to a back corner booth
5:36
and then you could point out and see who the real aliens were, almost
5:41
like a meta, so that it would be a little bit more like the
5:44
Star Trek is actually happening, and we went to the past and we're here.
5:47
They had the same kind of bar and super Girl, So yeah,
5:50
I like that idea. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but the back got
5:54
cut out. They felt that that was too star trek e. I guess
6:00
some plotlines were also changed around. Another thing was they originally had the concept
6:04
of bringing Girardi's Borg into Pocards season three, so at the very end,
6:13
when when Picard and them are fighting the Boorg, the good Board would show
6:16
up and help out. But but it was deemed like that's kind of dumb
6:23
and it takes away from what Picard was doing to have versus Borg. You
6:29
know, I guess kind of you know. Yeah. The other thing he
6:35
admitted was like, look, if we brought Alison in Alison pill, she's
6:40
not cheap, so it's more money and never being told to reduce costs so
6:46
she's not cheap. What about Okay, I know, I know whatever.
6:49
I think he's trying to be nice, but that's that's what happened. So
6:56
I can I say this. Whenever I think about Start, whenever I think
6:59
about Card season two, I think about when when I was just a just
7:03
a fan of Trek cast, that's right before I was you know, an
7:10
Exalted post. You know, I remember listening to an episode you guys did,
7:15
and Dan made a comment it was like early on in season two of
7:19
Picard, and then Dan made a comment, He's like, you know,
7:24
it's like episode one or two. He's like, you know, this,
7:27
this storyline is fine. As long as they don't stay in this timeline the
7:32
entire season, I'll be fine with it. And every time I think about
7:36
Star Trek season two or Percard season two, that's what I think about,
7:41
because what do they end up doing. They stayed in that timeline the entire
7:45
season, and that I thought that was a mistake. And apparently that was
7:50
a giant cost cutting move because then they didn't have to build Oh sure,
7:54
yeah, right right, that's why they did that. But you know,
7:59
it's interesting that we're learning more about it. So well, we wouldn't want
8:03
it to be too Star Trekish, No, why would we dare we?
8:09
So our next story comes to us from Vanity Fair and I don't know if
8:11
you're aware, but tonight is the Oscars. Yes it is. Yeah,
8:18
So I thought we could kind of go through some of the categories and kind
8:20
of talk about him. Oh yeah, sure, let's do some of the
8:24
top ones. Best Actor. We'll go through this best Actor. We have
8:28
Bradley Cooper for Maestro, Coleman Domingo for Rustin, Paul Giamani for The Holdovers,
8:35
Killian Murphy for Oppenheimer, and Jeffrey Wright for American Fiction. I've only
8:41
seen one of these movies. I'm gonna say I recognize one of those movies.
8:46
Yeah, I haven't even seen it yet. We've seen Oppenheimer. The
8:50
Holdovers is supposed to be very very good, but I have not seen that.
8:54
Okay, Killia Murphy, but we'll see. I don't I don't really
9:00
know. For best actress, we have an at Benning for Is It Night?
9:05
Nate, Lily Gladstone for Killers of the Flower Moon, Sandra Holler for
9:11
Anatomy of a Fall, Carrie Milligan for Maestro, and Emma Stone for Poor
9:18
Things. I haven't heard of any of those movies. I've heard of all
9:22
those actors, but yeah, Kills of the Flower Moon is that is the
9:28
what is his name? He did Good Fellows, very famous director. Anyways.
9:37
Uh, that was a good, good movie about a real life.
9:41
That was Hcorse. Very good movie. So I would recommend that. But
9:48
it is a long movie, but good. I could see Lily Gladstone getting
9:54
it. She she did amazing so Okay, but that's only because that's the
10:00
the one I saw. Yeah, best director, we have Jonathan Glazer for
10:05
a Zone of Interest, Your Ghost, Lathamos for Poor Things, Christopher Nolan
10:13
for Oppenheimer, Martin Scorsese The Killers of Flower Moon, and Justin Troit for
10:16
Anatomy of a Fall. I've only seen two of these movies. I've heard
10:20
of two of these directors. So yeah, honestly, it does feel like
10:24
it's it is Nolan's year with Oppenheimer. The fact that he got eight hundred
10:31
million dollars out of a movie about a scientist, a three hour movie by
10:35
the scientist. Right, it's kind of amazing, the whole Oppenheimer thing,
10:39
Like, I feel like it's his year. And then that brings us the
10:43
best pictures which have American fiction, An Adam of a Fall, Barbie,
10:50
The Holdovers, Killers of Flower Moon, Maestro Oppenheimer, Past Lives, Poor
10:56
Things, and the Zone of Interest. Okay, I man, yeah again,
11:05
I haven't heard, like, you know, nobody's told me, Oh,
11:07
you have to see Zone of Interest. It's so good. Yeah,
11:11
I don't even know what it's about, right, right, Yeah, you
11:15
know Oppenheimer, you know that's that's a movie I want to see. It's
11:20
good. I haven't. Yeah, how did you watch it? Did you?
11:22
You must have seen it in the theaters? No, no, no,
11:24
I I waited till it was on streaming and I watched it on Peacock.
11:30
Well on Peak, Oh that's right, Okay, that's the one streaming
11:31
service I don't have. Yeah, I honestly I think Barbie could take it
11:39
because I think there's going to be a backlash from Marda Robbie not getting nominated
11:45
and we're not getting nominated. So I could see people then voting for Barbie.
11:52
Yeah. I mean it was the most talked about movie of the year,
11:54
right, hands down, So right, yeah, I can I can
11:58
stop being second. I mean they were they were going hand in hand.
12:00
People were talking about you know, they were calling it, you know,
12:03
Barbie Heimer and yeah, but I could see Nolan gets director and then so
12:09
that would lead Barbie to get Best Picture. Well, and see that's the
12:13
problem. That's what's wrong with the Oscars is well, this movie should get
12:18
this because that movie got that. And it's like it's not about it's it
12:24
for a lot, you know, for decades, it hasn't been about what
12:26
the actual best motion pictures then, or the best actual director or the best
12:31
you know, it's all been I hate people, it's all been about And
12:35
the problem with best is it's subjective, right, sure, Yeah, some
12:41
people love a movie, some don't like, Like Chaspis says, Doomed Too
12:45
will be on the list next year, will it? I guess we'll talk
12:48
about that later. Well, yeah, we'll talk about that. Do I
12:52
get to say it it? Yeah, exactly, exactly, So we'll see
12:56
the oscars are doning. I'm not sure what time. Check your localistians,
13:00
but there tonight. Yeah, and other news stories you've got, because yeah,
13:03
we got a few. There is a surprising home on the market right
13:09
now. See if this looks familiar to you. If not, I'll tell
13:11
you what it is. Does this home look familiar? Yes, it does.
13:18
You're trying to place it, like, where the hell do I know
13:20
this from? Yeah? Where? No? Yeah? I can't, Okay,
13:24
you'll you'll get at the minute I tell you. It's it's the house
13:26
that they use for the outside of Roseanne. Oh okay, yeah, yeah,
13:31
it's been done up. But that's the house and it's currently for sale
13:35
in Evansville, Indiana for two hundred and twenty five tho the actual house,
13:41
you know, a different layout than what the show is. Sure, sure,
13:43
but but this house is a four bedroom, too bath twenty three hundred
13:48
square feet plus and it looks nice inside. I think that's not a bad
13:52
price for four bedroom. Yeah right, that's that's pretty good. Looks very
13:58
stylish Indiana. That's that's that's my neighbor. So yeah, well, if
14:05
you want some TV history for just under a quarter mill, you could do
14:09
it right right, absolutely sure. But my favorite little owned tub right in
14:15
the larger room. Yeah well there's also a shower there if you kind of
14:20
look. Okay, it's like like a multi room. Yeah, I like
14:26
it. Whatever. I mean, it's for sale and not really a bad
14:28
price for what it is, So no, I don't think. Yeah,
14:31
I just thought people woul get a kick out of that. I'm really surprised
14:33
they haven't turned into an airbnb, yeah yeah, or or like a you
14:39
know, a museum front like they've done with the uh, the House from
14:43
a Christmas Story, Oh yeah yeah, or the the Full House House they've
14:48
turned that into an airbnb, oh did they? Yeah? Yeah? And
14:52
also the the Fresh Prince, the original Fresh Prince House. Oh, maybe
14:56
the new owners would do something like that. Maybe I would, Yeah,
15:01
by that stay in Roseanne's house. Sure, I wouldn't make the inside look
15:05
as much like the Roseanne Show as I could, because that seems like,
15:09
you know, unlike the unlike the other houses that you mentioned, that house
15:13
for you know, two hundred and thirty million or two hundred thirty thousand dollars
15:16
two hundred twenty five thousand dollars a payment on that, it's going to be,
15:20
you know, one thousand dollars a month, less than a thousand dollars
15:22
a month. Well, you're you're you're thinking your current interest rate. The
15:26
interest rates now are much higher. That's true. That's it's going to be
15:30
like sixteen or seventeen. Yeah so, but even so, if you can
15:33
get a couple of good weekends a month out of that, you know,
15:37
for a little bit of history. Welcome to real estate Chat, guys.
15:41
Yeah, in real estate Chat. Yeah, yeah, I can't exactly do
15:46
that with any Star Trek properties because no, I've never been a Starfleet academy.
15:54
I want to check that out. You know, I was going to
15:56
do our last new story, but I think I'll hold off on it.
16:00
It's a whole list of TV show wild conspiracy theories, and I think that
16:06
would make a fun supplemental Yeah. Yeah, let's hold on on that.
16:11
Yeah okay, yeah, so then that's all the news we get into our
16:18
supplemental spotlight and get into all right, so we are talking June part two,
16:34
Scott, you recently saw the whole Dune saga. I saw part one
16:41
on Friday at home, and I saw part two in the theater Saturday morning,
16:47
So it was I I'm a Dune virgin. I've never seen the Dune.
16:51
I've never read the books. I didn't see the original movie from eighty
16:53
four. I've never seen I guess there was series out two. I guess
16:56
it's a hugely popular. Friend it is. It is the thing that a
17:03
lot of the things we love are based on. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
17:08
I can see that. I can see that. Yeah, you can
17:11
totally see it once once you watch it. What did you I don't want
17:17
to go immediately to what did you think about it? Maybe let's let's touch
17:21
on the story a little bit. Okay, Okay, the story is quite
17:25
intricate. There's a lot going on here, as Game of Thrones in space
17:30
I can see that absolutely. There are two main houses that we focus on,
17:38
very much like houses and Game of Thrones. We have the Pharkanons and
17:41
the Treats. There's also some sort of prophecy that some messiah will come.
17:48
The whole thing is they're fighting for Aracus. Aracus is a desert planet,
17:52
very similar to Tattooining is some of the inspiration. There's a special boy who
17:59
is not Luke Skywalker. His name is Paula Treats. And everybody is after
18:03
this mineral called spice. Yes, yeah, if this is all starting to
18:08
sound a little familiar, it all sounds a little bit familiar. Everyone.
18:12
The spice will get you very high apparently, and it also is needed for
18:17
space travel, almost like a di litheum crystal, yeah, or or or
18:22
mushrooms nowadays. Yeah, And so everyone's fighting for this this property. There
18:29
are some people who live there, the Furman, and they are the local
18:34
inhabitants, and they are treated badly to get to the spice. And the
18:41
prophecy in order to keep them align is that someday some magic special person will
18:47
come the was it the sin algae or something like that? Yeah, yeah,
18:55
that he that he will come the voice from from another world, and
19:00
he will he will restore Aracus and make a Racus great again. Yeah,
19:07
and so that that's the whole premise. There's a group of magic space nuns,
19:14
very Jedi ish who kind of control and pull the strings. In the
19:17
background, there's an evil emperor who's Christopher walking and yeah, yeah, yeah,
19:26
there's a lot going on here. There is a lot going on.
19:30
Basically, what you learn throughout the story is that the prophecy is just really
19:34
there to keep the locals in line. There's no actual prophecy. That's the
19:40
point of it. Mm hmm, Right, there's some crazy things that happen.
19:45
Uh, if you really get into the we're gonna do a ton of
19:48
spoilers, guys. So I'm not seeing this. Yeah, it's been out
19:52
for a week, you know. Anyways, there is a weird thing where
20:00
the Bennet Jesuit, which is the space nuns. Basically, we're not okay,
20:07
everyone, we're not doing experts, right, This is a trick cast,
20:11
so we're both kind of just picking at this. But basically, they
20:17
they wanted a plan where they wanted the Harrikans and the trades to be united,
20:22
right. They wanted those homes houses to be connected. And so when
20:30
Paula Trady's wife, the Lady Jessica, was pregnant, she was supposed to
20:36
have a girl. That was the whole point. And apparently because she is
20:41
also a trained Benny Jesuit, she has the ability to change the sex of
20:45
her baby while it's stone in the womb. And so she was supposed to
20:48
have a girl, and that girl was supposed to be married to well,
20:53
the same Fade Ray, the Austin Butler's character, the crazy Okay, uh
21:04
yeah, those two were supposed to be married and unite the two houses.
21:08
That was the plan. But Lady Jessica instead had a boy, Paul,
21:14
and Paul became a very special boy and uh he became our our Luke Skywalker
21:19
kind of yes, And so that's what kicks this whole thing off into motion.
21:25
So yeah, uh oh, the lady does her says that it's not
21:36
his wife. They should have been married, should have married her? Oh
21:37
okay, right, right, yes, that's she's right. Jessica is not
21:45
was not married to is she talking about Jessica? Are you talking about?
21:52
He? His character even says I should have married you. And then and
21:56
later on the movie. Uh he she has called his concubine. He called
22:03
her concubine, so they are not. Okay. That cleared up one of
22:07
the big things for me that that made no sense because I thought that was
22:11
why. Yeah, and she's supposed to be Paul's character is apparently a bastard.
22:17
Okay, okay, yeah, So my my big confusion up until now
22:22
was I thought she was because she's a HARKing and you find out that's a
22:25
big spoiler. Yes, I thought, okay, well, wouldn't the houses
22:30
already be united then, because if she's working and he's okay, yeah,
22:33
that makes more sense. All right, Yeah, let's get into it.
22:37
Man. What did you think? Oh? I, I want to go
22:41
through the little bit of the cast a little bit and okay, my thoughts.
22:45
I love that we're holding off our actual thoughts. That's great. Yeah.
22:48
Well yeah, if you don't have anything nice to say. Uh so.
22:53
Uh Timothy Tam the character plays Paul, I thought he was okay,
23:03
any number of actors could have played him. We actually thought it would have
23:06
been fun if Tom Holland had played him opposite of his girlfriend, Zendia.
23:11
Yeah, Zendia is great, you know, Rebecca Ferguson. I'm a big
23:15
I love Rebecca Ferguson. She's in the The Mission Impossible franchise. Yeah.
23:26
Javier Bardon, Uh, yeah, he's He's in No Country for Old Men.
23:33
He's, you know, a great actor. Fanos himself. Josh Brolins
23:37
in this you know, I thought he did a fantastic job. Austin Butler,
23:44
Uh didn't even recognize him under the makeup. I thought they did a
23:48
I thought the makeup was really good in this movie. How they portrayed some
23:52
of these kind of what's right? Right? I don't know how to pronounce
24:00
her last name, Florence Pogue Pew. Okay, she she's the one that
24:06
played uh Black Widow sister and Black Widow and the franchise. She was good.
24:14
Uh. Dave Dave Bautista's Dras in the in the m c U.
24:25
Yeah, he plays Beast. You know, he just he he plays basically
24:30
the same character. He's an angry warrior. You know he did. I
24:33
thought he did a fantastic job. Uh. They totally underutilized Christopher Walking uh
24:38
as as the Emperor. You know who doesn't love Christopher Walking. This cast
24:45
is absolutely fantastic Scar's guard who plays Baron. Yeah, whatever, his name
24:53
is. Scar. He's famous being Eric Selvig in the m c U Yeah,
25:00
in the horror movies. Yeah, yep, could hardly recognize him.
25:03
I thought he did a fantastic job, a lot of great Oh. Doctor
25:10
Bengo was in this, that's right. Yes, yeah, he's at the
25:14
end of the first one and kind of shows up a little bit in the
25:15
second one. Okay, Babs what is his name past, I don't know.
25:22
Let me try this, Babs oh LUs Dan mo gun if he plays
25:29
Jams. Yeah, so I'm sorry, I just butchered his name. Yeah,
25:33
there are some fantastic The cast is great stack and look I got the
25:40
Rotten Tomato scores up. It's got a ninety three with critics, It's got
25:44
a ninety five with audiences. So people love this thing. It is people.
25:48
People love this. They absolutely love this. Yeah. I couldn't wait
25:53
till it was over. Okay, this was Star Wars the original trilogy.
26:00
If Star Wars the Original trilogy was set completely on tattooed right right? That
26:07
what was going on? This in my mind? And I understand I'm in
26:11
the minority on this. This was a large sweeping movie. This was an
26:17
epic tale that was for me very slow. Yes it was. It took
26:22
forever to get from one point in the story to the next. And I
26:29
feel like the director was making these grand overtures in cinematography just for the sake
26:37
of making grand overtures in cinematography. Every shot, every shot was epic,
26:44
and I'm talking about if they were just you know, going from one place
26:47
in the desert to the next place in the desert. It was a huge,
26:51
sweeping shot with a wonderful soundtrack on Zimmer I believe was the one that
26:56
said this soundtrack just to let you know. Only Devenue the director of this,
27:02
This is a huge passion project for him. Yeah, and had been
27:06
planning it since he was a kid. I bet and and the execution was
27:11
it felt like it was his passion project. So I for me, the
27:17
story was was you know, I understood it. It was. It was
27:21
complicated, but I I was able to kind of grasp what was going on.
27:25
There was there was some points where I was like who is this and
27:27
what? A lot of the times I was like why why is this going
27:32
on? And for me, I didn't feel a hatred towards the antagonists the
27:41
way that I wanted to. You know, I didn't feel the suffering of
27:45
the of the of the people. I didn't feel I mean, they alluded
27:51
to, Oh, you know, there's there's slavery, and there's the different
27:53
class systems. You know, some people live high on the hog and there's
27:56
people live in the desert that you know, sort of mine whatever. But
28:00
I didn't feel the the disconnect between the haves and the haves, and that
28:04
I didn't see the torture. I didn't see that. You know, I
28:08
thought they did a poor job in making me dislike the antagonists. Okay,
28:14
yeah, that's fair. What do you Yeah, I think I liked it
28:19
a little bit better. I appreciated all the technical aspects of making something like
28:26
this. Oh sure, I did appreciate a lot of the performances. I
28:30
thought they were great. The story I don't think is for me as much.
28:36
But I think that's because it had been stripped, mined by so many
28:40
other properties to highlight things and improve on them, right or simplify so that
28:47
when you bring in this complex story that that's a little bit of this and
28:49
a little bit of that. Because they all ripped off dune then to come
28:55
see the original. Right, Oh, well, that's kind of like this
28:57
and that those are kind of like and that's kind of like tattooing, and
29:00
that's that's steeball and for like. So it's I've had too much of that
29:07
bias, I think to really enjoy it. But I do appreciate it.
29:11
I think. I think it's a great film. It's just it's not my
29:15
wheelhouse. Yeah, I'm glad I watched it. Yeah, experience I'll never
29:21
watch it again. Yeah, I'm glad I was. I'm glad I experienced
29:25
it. I told somebody to me, it's like country music. I don't
29:30
like country music, but but I appreciate that. It takes a lot of
29:34
talent to make that happen, right, right, And that's fine, Like
29:38
not everything is for everyone, you know. Yeah, I will say this
29:45
when I learned it, because I was admittedly confused by the stories just watching
29:49
the movies by themselves. But when I went and I looked things up and
29:52
I kind of went and found a little bit more of what's going on,
29:56
then I did appreciate it more, and I I enjoyed it much more that
30:02
that really did help my enjoyment of it. But I don't think it was
30:06
crystal clear. I do. I have learned too that apparently this is much
30:11
different than the books. There there are a lot of different things, like
30:14
the the baby that that lady Jessica is pregnant with that girl apparently that's who
30:21
kills the baron that that little girl. Yeah, and instead they used her
30:26
for a reason for exposition, which fine, And from what I've read on
30:32
online, a lot of like Doom Officionado or Doune Officionados are actually really happy
30:37
with that change. That makes more sense. Now. The other thing too
30:41
is, you know, in filmmaking, it's especially in big blocks of muster
30:47
movies, we think we're following the protagonists, right. And the whole point
30:51
apparently with Frank Herbert who wrote Dune, is that Paul is not a good
30:56
guy. Paul is a cautionary tolet tale of extremely charismatic leaders, and he's
31:02
not supposed to be a good day at all. So that I don't think
31:07
is as clear till until the very very end. And yeah, and I
31:11
think that that needed to be brought up a little bit here and there to
31:17
kind of show those seeds. Yeah, you know, but it makes it
31:22
difficult to know who to root for. Yeah, and that's kind of the
31:26
thing, right, I do think too, Like it's weird for me as
31:33
as somebody who who you know, if you look at the history of Mexico,
31:40
right, Mexico and South America or basically taken over by the Kinky Stamers
31:45
right back in the day. So there's a history of colonialism down there.
31:52
And what it feels like that this movie is trying to tell you is colonialism
31:56
is great if you do it the right way, as Paul went originally to
32:01
be, Oh, I'm gonna be nice to the Furman and we're still going
32:04
to take their resources, but they're gonna be nice to them as opposed to
32:07
you know, working with them and trading with them. Right. Yeah,
32:12
So that that kind of messaging was a little bit weird to me, And
32:16
I think you could have been a little bit clearer about using that to show
32:20
that, you know, Paul is not necessarily a good guy either, Like
32:22
you could have that argument, you know, right, yeah, like I
32:27
said, give me a reason to hate the bad guys? Yeah, yeah,
32:30
it wasn't clear in this movie. Yeah, but you know, there's
32:35
there's supposed to be a part three allegedly that that's what they want to work
32:37
on. I believe it's Dune Messiah, where we would see the Sun of
32:44
Paula treads and it's the aftermath of his holy war. Apparently that sun somehow
32:49
becomes a giant worm and is way more evil than Paul. Oh. I
32:55
can't wait for that. I mean, yeah, I'll watch it, you
33:00
know. Yeah, I'll watch it too. About it. We'll do a
33:04
track cast about it at the end of Yeah. Yeah, But if I
33:08
had to give this a grade, like a letter grade in school, I
33:12
would give it a solid beat. Right. I didn't love it. I
33:15
didn't hate it, but it was all right, your grading systems in line
33:21
with me, your grading system, because I would give it a C.
33:24
Okay, Yeah, well I watch it again. Probably not. It's a
33:29
lot of time, you know, and I feel like it's kind of the
33:32
film that demands your attention, you know. Yeah, you could throw on
33:37
in the background. Yeah. So so that's that's where I'm att. I
33:43
did notice as soon as we started saying how much we didn't like it,
33:45
we did lose some of yours. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but yeah,
33:54
yeah, wait, come back. I love dude. Is awesome.
33:59
Yeah, I mean, we've got to be honest. It's true. That's
34:02
true. Yeah, So that that's where we're at with things I read.
34:07
Uh, just a couple of interesting, uh little tidbits about you know,
34:12
I always go through the I m dB and I always go through the you
34:15
know, the trivia, uh, Scars guards, body makeup for the what
34:22
was the baron? Uh he was in a fat suit. Basically. The
34:27
body makeup took eight hours to apply, two hours to remove for every day
34:32
of shooting. He didn't drink anything and took emodium pills in order to avoid
34:37
having to go to the bathroom during shooting days. Oh wow, that's uh
34:44
yeah, yeah, but yeah, it was uh, it was a I
34:55
didn't see it in IMAX. I'm told that it's a different experience and I
35:00
MAX, but I can only imagine, you know, you know, the
35:04
theater I saw it in it did have a good surround sound system, so
35:07
yeah, you know, the the sound effects along with the score was very
35:14
good. I feel like it would have been cool to watch it in that
35:17
Las Vegas sphere if they put movies in there. Oh yeah, yeah,
35:21
absolutely, to really immerse yourself in it. I think that'd be great.
35:24
Yeah, again, it was kind of like watching us the Star Wars.
35:29
It was kind of like watching Star Wars if the entire episode of most of
35:31
the episode took place on Tattoo, right right. You know, I understand
35:36
there's a there's a tonal challenge with having most of your movies set on a
35:42
on a desert planet. But also, I you know, this might be
35:46
I don't like dusty things. I don't like sandy things. I don't I
35:52
don't like movies or Sywalker. You don't like sand? Yeah, I don't
35:58
like sand. I don't like I don't you know. I spent a little
36:01
time in the Middle East and I didn't like it. So maybe that's personal
36:06
bias of vine, but I don't like Yeah, I'm not big on deserts
36:09
and sand, dust and there's a lot of dust and watching those scenes,
36:13
did you just feel hot on that? Oh? Yeah, absolutely absolutely?
36:17
Well okay, no, Well it's funny you bring that up because we watched
36:22
this in a freezing theater and it was hard to you know, I'm sitting
36:28
there shivering, and I'm like, the people on screen are really really hot,
36:31
but they're really really dry when they're not perspiring. So it's hard to
36:37
It's really hard, I would imagine as a filmmaker to show hot when you
36:42
can't show perspiration, right, you know, right, And I think that's
36:50
where maybe the special effects fell a little short. Maybe they should have shown
36:53
more of like the hot shimmering effect, you know, but it it's it's
37:00
just the nature of the beast showing hot dry, It's it's very hard to
37:05
convey that. I think they could have shown stuff like maybe some of the
37:08
animals, like dead animals on the ground that have been dehydrated, stuff like
37:13
that to let you know, like, oh, it is really hot in
37:15
here. And those special suits they wear really do help them. They told
37:19
us a hundred times about you know, conserving water and you know, don't
37:23
spit, don't throw up, don't you know. I mean at one point,
37:27
you know, somebody has sheds a tear and the person goes up to
37:30
the tear and you know, like that, like we don't waste water except
37:37
when we waste water, right for the sake of religion, right, we
37:40
have giant just wells of water that we don't touch. Yeah, it kind
37:47
of reminded me of like the Bad Max movies where it's like you know,
37:52
we have to save every single drop of gas lead, yet we're all driving
37:57
these v eight like gas and would for no reason, right yeah, yeah,
38:02
yeah it may yeah. Yeah, you know, we'll see allegedly we'll
38:13
get the part three. They're the same, like maybe twenty twenty six roughly.
38:17
Yeah, I'll be holding my breath all dead. Yeah, yeah,
38:22
you know I can't as long as the world still exists. Geez. Yeah,
38:29
but uh so let's let's probably get to feedback. Yeah, other people
38:37
have to say about it. Yeah, except in the chat. If you
38:38
guys want to tell us about how much you you did not like Dune go
38:44
wanna go ahead and explain away how that works again, Daniel, Yeah,
38:49
yeah, So we have the ability to bring people on via zoom chat via
38:54
yeah, kind of like this web chat, and we just have to send
38:58
you the link, so if you exce up in the chat, we can
39:00
send you the links so that you can join us. We also do have
39:01
a phone number for you to call and leave voicemails five seven zero six six
39:07
one zero zero zero one. And of course we are on social media just
39:13
about everywhere treck cast, TNNG and we are more than happy to get your
39:17
feedback. So absolutely, And if you go to any one of those social
39:21
media sites, you know, your facebooks and your Twitters and all that,
39:24
leave a comment, leave a like, subscribe, that all helps the algorithm.
39:29
You know. The more people that get their hands on it and their
39:30
eyes on it and like it and share it, the more the algorithm shares
39:35
it with other people. So that's the bigger you can get. So that
39:37
if you want to help out the show, like, subscribe, share all
39:40
that stuff. Yeah, give it thumbs up right now, af you're watching
39:43
the stream that helps YouTube that we're doing it. So yeah, all right,
39:49
well let's see listener feedback. All right. So our first bit of
39:58
feedback, believe it or not, is a YouTube comment. This is from
40:04
our last episode. So we took a week off, and our last episode
40:07
before was the definitive list of sci fi films. We did our ranking and
40:13
again as we said that, yoh yeah, as we said, that was
40:19
the list. If you disagree with it, you're wrong. That was the
40:24
list. I don't make the rules. This is the list. And so
40:31
somebody wrote, actually, Max, I believe the same MAXW was in earlier
40:38
two thousand and one. So space obviously two thousand and one Dune an expanse.
40:43
If you watch them, they wouldn't be solow. But I understand it's
40:45
your subjective opinion. You can be wrong again, Max. Maybe there's a
40:51
translation error. Yeah, yeah, this is the definitive list. This is
40:57
how it works. We don't make the rules. No, no, no,
41:00
this is this is the new Bible of list. That's right. I
41:05
don't know what monster would make these rules. Yeah, the sorry, yeah,
41:10
this is just what it is. Uh. Yeah. And we also
41:15
have somebody on the line, someone who wants to tell us how my bad
41:17
Dune was there. He is jazz biz. Hey it shine floode Okay,
41:28
okay, which which forgettable character was he in? It's one of the words,
41:31
I know, that's one of the word. Yeah, you got the
41:37
budget. Oh no, oh, no, you don't that. Well,
41:49
no, I have a popcorn colonel in there or something he put on children
41:55
think your family. This is such a bad design, yeah guy. Or
42:04
maybe it's the best design, of course I want Thank god, it's soft,
42:08
you know. Oh, it's not like heard plastic or what are you
42:15
what are you doing? So for those of you who don't know, yeah,
42:23
yeah, for those of you who's listening. Chasm is just sticking his
42:27
hand right into that Dune popcorn bucket, the popcorn bucket special that they had
42:37
for Dune. A lot of movie theaters were having this popcorn bucket with this
42:40
topper that resembled the giant sand Uh Civilization eating worm they had Dune and this
42:49
this, this, this creature was like it was like a Starlac, yeah,
42:55
produced Star Wars fans, only it was a thousand times aside like Sarlac.
43:00
It's a giant worm and the opening of his mouth looks like the giant
43:06
airs. It kind of looks like a whale. Yeah, the bones like
43:10
they're not nobody likes, right, yeah, nobody like. Well, they
43:15
made a bucket to simulate this, and it looks it looks bad in an
43:22
adult way. Yes, I'm trying to find the most diplomatic way to say
43:27
that. Yes. When I purchased it looks like do you want a regular
43:32
bucket with it? And I'm like, yes, I don't want to put
43:36
popcorn in there and have to dig my hand out every time. Yeah,
43:38
yeah, yeah, I would have to wash the butter off. So Tremmor's
43:47
five point oh yeah, it's a giant graboid yes, did you hate Dune
43:58
as well? I liked it. I really liked it. But I've read
44:04
all the books, okay, And so he took some liberties on this one
44:08
on on the movie, especially with Zindaia's part, Like she wasn't as paudy
44:14
in the book as she was in the movie. Yeah, she's pretty gung
44:17
ho about the whole plan, right, Yeah, but she's all like all
44:22
pissed off and everything. I'm like, no, she's no. But in
44:24
the books like her characters like, yeah, she's with them. Yeah,
44:29
like they even have a kid together, so okay. And then the Emperor
44:32
kills his kid and that's why he's you know, it makes him angrier.
44:37
So okay, yeah, yeah, read the read the books and yeah,
44:45
I've read the books. Well. They didn't mention the Spicing Guild hardly at
44:51
all, okay, because those are the guys that transport the ships and they
44:58
take a ton of and they need that spice to fold space because it's you
45:06
can take a ship and go to another planet without moving right, so you
45:09
could do it instantly. They didn't really go over that in the much,
45:15
not like at all. So they said they needed spice to I think the
45:19
only line I remember hearing from either movie is they need spice for space ravel,
45:22
but they didn't expect. The only time you probably see like part of
45:25
the Guild is the very first movie where you see the guys walk out and
45:30
have these suits on and you see kind of gas emitting from their masks.
45:32
Okay, those are probably I watched both movies right next to each other.
45:39
Yeah, but it's like just such a little bitty part that you barely you
45:43
know, you'd miss it, right. Okay, Now, if you watch
45:46
Student nineteen eighty four, you see it right off the bat. You see
45:50
one of the Guild navigators who turned into fish, and see like there's so
45:55
much spice that like it mutates you, and so they like they have to
46:00
live in a tank and have to breed nothing but spice. Oh wow,
46:07
if they you know, if the spice is gone, they're dead and they
46:08
can't navigate because in the future there's no AI whatsoever. There's no computers right
46:15
here. It's like with AI everything was supposed to be mechanical, because this
46:19
is ten thousand years in the future, probably farther than that, because there
46:22
was basically what happened was Terminator took over right, they overthrew the machines,
46:29
and then after they overthrew the machines, they banned AI. Oh ok then
46:36
they fail dimentioned to We're on that timeline right, We're waiting for a to
46:38
take over first. Yeah no, yeah no, because this is like way
46:44
past a guy they've they developed. We are currently on that. We're on
46:47
that trajectory. Yes, yeah, okay, currently yes, yes, you
46:52
know it'll be like some bad I would just like to personally say to my
46:55
AI overlords that I respect you and I treat you well, and yeah,
47:00
I'm here to serve you in any way I can't ye es you laugh.
47:07
I know, I know the computers know they remember everything. But you know
47:12
two years from now when this is Trek Cast hosted just by Scotty different Scott
47:19
in del Ron forty four or whatever. Right, yeah, yeah, chessmin,
47:25
who's your favorite Paul of Tree? Is it? Is it Kyle McLaughlan
47:29
or is it? Well, the thing is I grew up with Kyle.
47:35
That was my first introduction, and plus my first Jurnie Hallick was Patrick Stewart,
47:39
not Josh Brolind. That's right. Yeah. Josh Rowlan's character was played
47:44
by Patrick. I was a little bit I saw, yeah he was the
47:46
original Dune original. Yeah, ohneck, And that's how I knew who Patrick
47:54
speartt was as a kid. I think I think Scott's gonna be watching the
47:58
original dude. Now I don't want too, but I'm probably going to know.
48:01
Yeah, exactly. Well, the baron On there, I would say,
48:07
is more menacing. And that's how I see the Baron, like you're
48:09
talking about a menacing character. Yes, the Baron's evil, so purely evil.
48:16
Yeah, that's true, he's the bad guy. Yeah, he's statistic.
48:21
And then they left out that Chinese's mom, which would be Chinese's dad
48:27
in the book or whatever is Leah Kines. They never really mentioned that that's
48:34
the lady that oh well, she was the hired by the Emperor the planetologists
48:39
on the first one that say oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
48:43
yeah yeah, but that was her father in the in the books and the
48:47
other movies. So okay. But if he sounds like Billy Deven who kind
48:52
of like simplified a few things too, yeah, well he said he's not
48:55
plot heavy, right, and this is a very dense book that's filled with
49:00
the plot, and so you take a very plot heavy book, and you
49:05
make it visual, right, you're going to miss a lot of parts because
49:09
well and I and I listened to an interview with him where he talks about
49:13
he doesn't really like dialogue, which in something like this you kind of need
49:16
dialogue to explain. Yes, and there's a ton of dialogue in that book.
49:22
Yeah. But if you want to see, like, probably the closest
49:24
thing to it is watch the sci Fi series and it's on YouTube. Okay,
49:30
do the sci Fi done. It's three parts, and then they do
49:35
the sequels too. They do Dune Messiah and Children at Dune right after that,
49:39
and that's all you'll see like what happens immediately. Now, if you
49:45
want to wait like two years, wait two years and do that. Yeah,
49:50
I'm going to wait two years. Okay, wait two years. So
49:59
yeah, but I've watched to Do before I could do more. Yeah,
50:04
yeah, exactly. Well, the reason why he made Do Messiah because a
50:07
lot of people, when you read the book, you think Paul's the hero,
50:09
right, right, and he's not. And and the thing is,
50:14
it's like you watched other movies, he looks like the hero, Like,
50:16
yeah, he's complicated, but he's the hero. But doing Messiah, it's
50:22
like set ten years later or so, and you find out like, no,
50:25
really, he's not the hero. This is what's happening to the society,
50:29
and like this is ten years in the future and my sister's soldier.
50:35
Would it be fair to say Paul is more like Anakin than like Luke Closer?
50:40
Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't say he was this that the light went
50:45
off with stronger on that one. Yeah, that kind of makes sense because
50:51
I was only I was barely aware of like that the turning of Paul's character
50:58
towards the end of the movie, like you know, like maybe I was
51:00
getting the hint that he wasn't you know, the purest of protagonists. Right,
51:05
Well, when he took the water life, that's when he went kind
51:09
of crazy, right, you know, no man survived it. And plus
51:14
didn't show the fact that he was in a coma for like two or three
51:16
weeks. Oh yeah, yeah, he was like everybody I thought he was
51:22
pretty much dead. And the only pat the time I could ascertain from the
51:27
movie was how pregnant Rebecca heard Well, and that's the thing is like they
51:32
didn't overthorrow like she has the baby, but the baby can speak right,
51:38
because the baby inherited all the memory from the other benaj deserts over years of
51:45
breeding and so and that's the thing about why they're so pissed off at Paul
51:52
or the tradees is because she had a boy. She broke the line.
51:55
So it's to be a thousand generations to have the quizux hat her or whatever.
52:01
So right, those she jumped it by having a boy because the duke
52:06
wanted a boy and she was just to have a girl. Okay, okay,
52:10
and her mom is the reverend mother the other Let me ask you this,
52:20
would it have been better if this was Dune muppets and they were all
52:24
Muppet characters like what squiggly guys like the frog is ball and and miss Piggy
52:34
is Zda's character. I would probably watch that. That would be pretty funny,
52:44
seeing like it would be pretty great a worm, he'd be still guard
52:46
you know, God, they're just writing those worms, yeahs. And how
52:54
many names did Paul have, like fourteen or something? Yeah? That get
53:00
the worm thing cleared that up for me, man, because you know about
53:01
this step are they just subways? And that's what it seems like they were
53:06
using them as I know, it's it's it's weird. The worms like how
53:13
they they live, you know, like you have to walk without rhythm,
53:15
that's how they have to sand. Yeah, they had to do this weird
53:21
walk. I sort of understood that. Yeah, the warrants there. Yeah,
53:29
that's why I like, you know, I've seen videos of Timmy sle
53:31
dancing and he doesn't have rhythm. He doesn't need to worry about it.
53:36
You can just walk is good at it. So that whole thing about the
53:45
walking and the giants, it's like all I kept thinking is like, okay,
53:51
so you got these these giant I mean the id of looking worms are
54:00
attracted to rhythmic thumping, and I'm like, yeah, come rhythm a dancer.
54:08
You have to remember, Scott, guilty feet have got no rhythm.
54:12
So if you got rhythm, you got guilty feet. If you got rhythm.
54:16
Yeah, those words are a well okay, remember uh may easy to
54:22
pretend beetle juice when he opens up the door and they're trying to leave the
54:25
house and you see the sad worms pop out. Yeah, I guarantee you
54:29
that's where you're Oh, I'm sure that those are basically that's where you got
54:32
it. You know. Yeah, yeah, now I've got that song stuck
54:37
in my head. It's like guilty feet of Scott rhythm. Yeah. No,
54:40
it's easy to pretend. I think the only thing in my head that
54:45
was bumb boom because they use it for those of you don't know, they
54:51
use these rhythmic okay, well yeah, it's called a thumper. They put
54:55
these things in the sand that that make this you know, it make the
55:00
like they go up and down, they go thump thump against the sand,
55:02
and it attracts these giant you know, I'm gonna call them v worms.
55:07
Uh that that swallow. I mean they're they're huge, They're giant. They
55:14
can swallow up you know, uh, like this giant vehicle of many,
55:19
many hundreds of people at a time if they wanted to. And there are
55:22
of different sizes too. Some of them are you know, really big and
55:25
some are huge and uh yeah, he's right, the worms are. That's
55:31
what they're eating is warm pood pretty much. But it has it smells like
55:37
cinnamon, So I guess, yes, it's a warm sign and that's why
55:44
they always well then say in the maybe because it's called warm sign and it's
55:47
like there's warm signing somebody's coming. But there's like a spice mass and the
55:52
spice is warm pod pretty much. Well, then that explains why the spice
55:55
is only on that planet because of the worms. Yes, and like they
55:59
tried to trains for the worms to other planets, but only Aracus is attracted
56:04
to the worms for some reason, which kind of leaves the question if you
56:07
need that spice for space travel. M hmm, how did they get there
56:13
in the first place. They well, AI, they had ships that could
56:17
take them there with the banned AI and say they had to use the thing
56:22
is refugees too there they're not originally from there, and they brought a thing
56:30
called sand trout, and the sand trout turned into the worm over the millennia,
56:36
So okay, because they brought the sand trouts so they could eat it.
56:40
And then but the thing is they had no water and that's what happened,
56:45
okay, And it's it's it's weird, like it goes deeper in the
56:50
books and you're like scratching your head and like, holy crap, the dune's
56:52
very Yeah, this sounds like a lot more than you know. Okay,
56:58
we're saying it's really caught us and everything. But honestly, if you broke
57:01
down Star Trek and we're like, well, there's the Federation and then there's
57:06
a klingon if you're trying to like and that like money, yeah, yeah,
57:12
it's just as complex. So imagine if the Frangie had was given the
57:16
Federation money all right, and they controlled it and they're trying to take over,
57:24
you know, the whole world with you know, they hold the di
57:28
lithium or whatever. Yeah, to travel for their trade. That's kind of
57:31
what the Guild is. So yeah, yeah, it's like they have a
57:35
whole monopoly on that and nobody else can pretty much space travel without the Guild.
57:43
You have to have a kild navigator, so you're pretty much stuck in
57:46
your own solar system because you're going at whatever speed the ships go. So
57:52
yeah, and then that they failed to mention to the mentats. The mentats
57:55
are human computers, like in the first maybe do for whatever. He's kind
58:01
of the bigger guy that was with Duke leto his eyes like rolling the back
58:07
of his head. Yeah, like he's caulking, like the undertaker about the
58:10
tombstone somebody. Yes, he's like he's calculating because they yeah. Yeah,
58:16
let's say it's right in the future, they've mutated their minds, they've taken
58:21
spice and other things, and this is what's given them kind of powers.
58:27
So what did you think about Christopher Walkins portrayal. Yeah, let's talk about
58:31
that. I think Patrick Stewart, since he was in the first one,
58:36
should have been the Emperor. I thought that too, because I'm sitting there
58:39
thinking it's like, like you needed to have a menacing presence right there,
58:45
not not really, you know, somebody that showed bring him, let him
58:53
like he could have been something I feel like the I love Christopher Walking,
58:59
but Christopher walk is Christopher Walking in every movie that he's in. I know,
59:02
yeah, the whole time I kept on seeing him. Yeah, I
59:06
thought that the Emperor should have been like a Taiwan Lanister type character, older
59:10
but you know lot, you know, right, formidable, because I was
59:16
I'm reading here that many fans objected to Christopher Walking because he's white, playing
59:22
a role previously played by his Hispanic character actor nineteen eighty four and in the
59:32
mini series okay, this mini series. Did you I'm assuming you watched the
59:37
mini series from two thousand, mm hmm, yeah, I finished it last
59:42
night. It's on YouTube, so you can watch it on YouTube, right,
59:44
Okay, yeah, we just talked about that, So would that help
59:47
if we watched that. Yes, it would help out a lot, it
59:52
would and fill on some gaps. Okay, it would help. I'll get
59:57
to it right after, right after I get to all the other things I
1:00:00
haven't. I'm actually five episodes into a rewatch of Discovery, so I was
1:00:07
inspired by Dan. Dan said he's watching rewatching Discovery season season one, which
1:00:14
I think is incredibly noble Dan to do. He's making a sacrifice and you
1:00:20
know, if he's gonna if he's gonna stand up on that desk and say,
1:00:23
after my captain, I'm doing time to recovery exactly recovery right now?
1:00:30
Yeah, they do. I'll be glad to once the season. I'm gonna
1:00:43
try to get the entire series done by the time uh uh the season comes
1:00:47
out. And I'm, yeah, I'm it's it's I know, it's uh,
1:00:55
it's all that I'm watching while i'm you know, my lunch is at
1:00:58
work and well working out, and it's like I'm I'm I'm forsaking all other
1:01:04
programs for this month. So I'm just trying to power through discovery. So
1:01:09
I just got done with the Harry Mud episode, and that was a good
1:01:14
episode. It was Star Trek episode of the whole series. I think up
1:01:19
until that episode, it's the that's the only episode that I actually remember watching.
1:01:23
When I watched the first episode, I had almost no memory of it.
1:01:28
Yeah I remember watching. Yeah, I don't like that. I I
1:01:36
didn't. It was so forgettable for me. But also it's kind of like
1:01:40
watching it for the first time. But I also get to focus on other
1:01:45
things, like how like I don't have to focus on how horrible I hate
1:01:47
the cling on storyline. Yes, I can focus on things that I like.
1:01:53
You're not like looking at their makeup and you're like, oh my god,
1:01:57
their makeup looks awful, right, exactly. I can just get past
1:02:00
it. But yeah, because you already know, the shock is already over.
1:02:04
Who was the actor that died? He played the klingon Oh Ash Tyler
1:02:07
whatever his name is? No, no, no, I'm talking about the
1:02:09
Actually he had a Oh yeah, he last time Kenneth something. Yes,
1:02:16
that's right, I'll have to look figure out which Kenneth Mitchell. Ye,
1:02:21
yeah, he was at he was at Star Trek Chicago. Yeah he was,
1:02:25
he was, Yeah, he just and like you see him in the
1:02:30
first season, he's moving around and then the sex syson second season, that's
1:02:34
when he got diagnosed pretty much, and then it's just it was sad to
1:02:37
see that, such a terrible disease. Man. Yeah. Yeah, and
1:02:43
oh, who's Doug Jones. I listened to an interview yesterday with Doug Jones
1:02:46
and it was pretty good. He was talking about the cruise and everything about
1:02:50
such a thing. He does such a fantastic job as Saru. I mean
1:02:53
I'm watching as I'm rewatching those first five episodes. I mean, his his
1:02:59
acting range. I'm just loving that character even more the second time. Great
1:03:02
man, he's great. Yeah yeah, all right, Well, anything else
1:03:07
you want to bring up, Chaz biz, that's that's it. What's our
1:03:10

1:03:15

1:03:19

1:03:25
do that that comes out just before If I remember Recon, I was looking
