  Speaker 1: But they got rid of him and they recast the
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: two voices and Rick and Morty and they sound exactly

• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Oh no, no.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Now The Boys has debuted the final season of The
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Boys on Amimu huh and the co creator of the show,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Eric Kripke, is being interviewed and he said, it's not
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: great when the world out crazy is a show that
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: has exploding penises.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Well, I think I'd have to agree with that.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, final season of the Boys hadn't been written before
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: the election. You might think that the new episodes are
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: a bit too on the nose. I mean federal troops
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: being sent to American cities, on desirables being rounded up
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: and sent to freedom camps, white House press briefings that
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: devolve into jeering, gaslighting sessions, and leading the country is
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: a megalomaniac homelander who might be going insane. But Eric
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Kripke says, no, we didn't. We didn't plan this. This
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: is just this is just happening right in front of us.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: He says, it's not a great feeling. It's a sinking feeling,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: never a great when the world out Crazy is a
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: superhero show with exploding penises.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: The stuff that has come to pass since.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: We wrote it, including in tournament camps, sending federal troops
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: into cities, tiny references like that clown in charge of
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: the military. In the show, there's a character named General Mayhem,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: who is.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: In charge of the military.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Says, when you think of the clown currently in charge,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: the effing Secretary of War.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Because we need because.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: He needs to be extra macho with his title changing
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: from Secretary to Defense. When we were writing the season,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I swear I'm not making this up. We generally thought
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: this is.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: A little out there.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: No, actually, it's become speculative fiction now, so he apologizes.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: But watch the Boys. It's on now.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: If you have the HBO Max and you're a fan
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: of the Alien movies.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: The Alien three.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Assembly Cut just quietly dropped, no announcement. I'm not sure
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: what that is. It's the cut that David Fincher prefers.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Apparently he was the director. It's called the assembly cut
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: much longer. You know, everybody hated on Alien three, but
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: they say that the director's cut. This Fincher version, the
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: assembly cut. They say it's better. It contains extended takes
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: and deleted scenes, scenes that directly impact the plot. Ripley
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: and the inmates actually succeed in trapping the alien in
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: the toxic waste room, for instance, until one prisoner deliberately
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: sets it free. Several or all of the plot holes
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: are filled, the fates of some minor characters are relieved,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: and the chest burster that pops out of Ripley during
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: her final sacrifice and effect that was added during reshoots,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I wasn't supposed to happen.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: In this version. You're not supposed to have so they
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: deleted that part.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: But anyway, now I own this because it was made
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: available on this DVD collection that had all of the
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Alien movies in it, and I just didn't look that closely.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I just put it in and didn't even think about it.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: But it's available there. But updated versions of all the
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Alien movies are available on your HBO Max if you
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: have that. Speaking of Alien, he drinks and he Knows things.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Peter Dinklice is joining the cast of Alien Earth season two.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Ah let's see it, says casting. This is the first
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: big casting news about the show second season. It's going
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: to be filmed at Pinewood Studios outside of London, as
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: opposed to Thailand, which is where season one was filmed.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Pinewood is where Ridley Scott made the first movie as
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: well as Prometheus. But we don't know what character he's playing,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: who he is going to be, just that he will

  Speaker 1: Maxima into the pages of action comics back in nineteen
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: eighty nine. She's an alien queen who has been both
• 8:16
