  Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, Welcome to the larger nurgh On Collider, the
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: podcast that's all about the geeky things happening in the
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: world around us and how very excited we are about them.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: I'm Aerial Casting and he has always the amazing Johnathan Strickland.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: I had a wacky waxy accident today.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Oh did you accidentally fall into a vat at Madam Gissot's.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: No, No, nothing quite that extreme. I I'll show Ariel,
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: but y'all just have to trust me on this. I
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: have this this candle. It says relax on it, which
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: is ironic, and it's a three wicks. It's a three
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: wick candle and brand new. And I lit all three
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: wicks and I was letting it burn this earlier today
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: burn for about half an hour. I decided, I actually
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: don't really care for the scent it gives off, which
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: is unfortunate, and I thought I should go ahead and
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: extinguish this. Now, normally I extinguished candles, but like most
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: of the candles I get, have a lid and I
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: just put the lid on and let it let it
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: suffocate that way. This one did I have a lid,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: So I blew out the candle, but there's three wicks,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: so it needed a good gust and I didn't think, Hey, Jonathan,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: there's like a half inch of molten wax on the
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: top of this candle. And so it didn't get on me.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: But I did spray a not inconsiderate amount of molten
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: wax over my two monitors.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: I'm glad it didn't get on you. I have one
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: of those candle. I don't know why I looked at it.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: You can't see it. One of those like heat lamps
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: that you set your candle under. Yeah, and I've got
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: a lavender eucalyptus I think it is candle under it
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: right now. That was a gift from a wonderful, wonderful
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: friend of mine. And uh, it just gets so strong,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: like it gets stronger than when I light a candle.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I was surprised.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: I have a little like wax warmer thing that my
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: parents gave us, but I don't have it. Honestly, if
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: I had another thing plugged in on this desk, it
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: might become sentient. So I don't wanna. I don't want
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: to risk it. But hi, Ariel, how you doing.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I'm doing good. It was a little bit of a
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: comedy of errors connecting this morning or today, you know.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: But I'm good now. I also have some electrical interesting
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: things happening, and I don't want my wall to turn
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: into somebody from the Fire Kingdom.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: So yeah, Ariel's having kind of a Poltergeist kind of
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: day with their electricity.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's it's fine, It's all good. I had
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: a wonderful weekend at the Renaissance Festival this past weekend
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: that Jonathan visited me at, and now I have a
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: nice break weekend before I go back and do it
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: a second time.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: So which I consider. Considering that the weather forecast right
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: now saying that we might be getting thunderstorms over the weekend,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: it looks like you've got the right weekend to take
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: a break.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: We were supposed to get rain last weekend, and it
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: was beautiful performing weather.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, the weather was so nice. Like the
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: high reached around seventy now if you were in the sun,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: it felt a little warmer than that, but not bad.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Like anyone who's worked the Georgia Renaissance Festival will tell
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: you. You kill for a day where the high is at seventy.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like my only complaint of the day was it
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: was so dusty because it didn't rain that I came
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: away with garf loong.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I like I had a little bit of it,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: and I wasn't singing all day long, So yeah, I
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: definitely felt for you. I did, however, fall victim to
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: the classic trap of I visit the festival, I misperforming,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: and so now I'll be performing on Memorial Day as
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: my town ghost character, Hugo Hauntis. I even did a
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: costume check before we went started recording and found pretty
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: much everything except for a belt and gloves. So and
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: the gloves I get are like those super super super
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: cheap brown work gloves, so I can cut the fingertips
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: off and that way I have just my fingertips sticking
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: out of the gloves, and I paint my nails and
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff. So I'm looking forward to
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: coming out a Memorial Day and being a guest ghost character.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: He's a very silly character. He's not spooky at all.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: In fact, that's that's the problem, is that he aspires
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: to be spooky, but he absolutely isn't.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I look forward to hearing how your experience is as
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: a street character, because of course that's what I've done more.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: My band has performed there in the past, but more
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: more than that, I've been a street character and I
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: didn't get to experience that last.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: I heard that the cast break area the Shiny Cauldron
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: is much more impressive now, but I have not seen it,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: so I don't know what to expect.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: It is. I won't ruin the surprise. It's not like
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: a ride at disney World or anything, but it is nice.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Is it nicer than like a couple of old picnic
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: tables under a tarp?
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I can tell you if you'd like.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: No, No, it's fine. I can wait for the surprise.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: It is much more comfortable to spend time at.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: That's that's excellent. Yeah, that's both good and bad, I guess.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: But since I'm volunteering, I really shouldn't take it hard
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: on myself if I decide to take multiple breaks. It's
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: not like they're paying me.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: You should anyhow, Like I mean, I was horrible at
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: pacing myself when I worked at the Renaissance Festival as
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: a street character. But you should.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, No, that goes out to anyone who's a
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: performer at a festival, like, take your breaks. They are
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: they are needed. It's much better to take your break
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: and feel refreshed and go back out on stage and
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: spend your energy interacting with patrons rather than just interacting
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: with each other. I mean, it's something I've been guilty
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: of in the past. I can't cast shade on anyone
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: in particular. I've done the same sort of thing. But
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: your goal is to entertain patrons, not just you know,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: spend time with your work friends. So those breaks are
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: good because they do give you that needed rest in between,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: you know, going from group to group out there on
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: the site and trying to make people laugh. Although as
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: the Ghost, I never really had that problem because the
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Ghost shines so to speak, with patron interactions. Once in
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: a blue moon, I might do a bit with another character.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Well I'll pick up like their mug or something and
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: go ooh, and then they pretend they can't see me,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: and they're just wondering why their mug floats in mid air.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Like those are funny little gags. But other than that,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: I'm interacting directly with patrons.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so that'll be fun to hear how it
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: goes for you. Yeah, we aren't overlapping, but that's totally okay.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's I mean, it's also that long weekend.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Is it's a very long weekend. All right, Well, let's
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: let's go to the question, which I believe you created
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: this week.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I did, and then promptly forgot to think about it.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: But I do think I have my answer from what
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I first inspired me. So this week we celebrated May
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: the fourth and Sinco de Mayo and all these other things.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: It's also I can teach your appreciation or something like that.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but anyhow, my question has to do
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: is Star Wars. And we all know Jonathan's a little
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: cranky at Star Wars, so I tried to think of
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: an interesting one. So, if you could insert a non
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Star Wars character into the Star Wars universe, who would
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: it be? And where would you?
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Saint x Men from Battle beyond the Stars and everywhere
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: I could are my answers Saint x Men if you
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: if not familiar with that'll Beyond the Stars. We talked
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: about it in our video The Seven Sons of Seven Samurai.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: It's the space version of that where one of the
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: the seven Samurai in this version is a warrior woman
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: like a valkyrie, and she demands to join the group
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: that's fighting off this invading force, even though her ship
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: does not have particularly powerful weaponry on it, but it's very, very,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: very fast. And the character was played by Sybil Danning,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: who has huge tracks of land. She's she's and her
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: costume was very cheesecakey. And the reason why I want
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: to put her in there is like, let's get some
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: sex appeal in Star Wars, like, like, you know, you
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: had little moments of that, mostly with Princess Leah, which
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: I don't think was an appropriate character to imbue with
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: that quality. But it is weird that a lot, at
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: least the mainstream Star Wars line of stories is largely sexless.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: And I don't mean the depictions of sex on screen,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: but even like any sign of physical attraction, that kind
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: of thing, you don't really get that, and I think
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: there's a place for it. I don't think you need
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: to turn it into it being like a rowdy you know,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: sorority meets fraternity, you know, college film or anything like that.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: But I think she wouldn't. She wouldn't go out of
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: place in the world of Star Wars. So that is
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: my long winded answer to say I want I want
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: simple Danning as Saint x Men in Star Wars.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Nice. Uh, there are some sexy characters in Star Wars
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: there and not just the Swiles but at the place,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: but not not all are sexy.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Java's Palace, Yeah, the Dancer yeah.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but well.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: And Dragon confor yeah, that's not in Star Wars.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: No, you're right, you're right. So my character would be
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: our Tax from.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: The never ending story, which one is that it's the
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: horse you gotta dig them out of this quicksand first.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, well, I would put him in the Star
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Wars universe before he got stuck in the Swamp of sadness?
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Would you just have him get eaten by the sarlac pit,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: because that just seems like that would be no.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: So like, uh, there are actually quite a few equine
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: alien races in the Star Wars universe, and in one
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: of the movies, I think it was one of the
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: latest three, Like, there are these fatires it's f A
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: T h I E r s and they're exploited for racing.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: So our Tax would come in from this other fantastical
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: land and rescue them all all or or Han Solo
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: or something like that.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's in the eighth Star Wars movie
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: and is one of the I'm not I'm not gonna
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna ye here, yum, please continue.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: I mean no, I don't like the I don't like
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: those creatures being exploited, and I also don't like our
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: tax dying in the swamp of sadness. So I would
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: move him into Star Wars where obviously he will have
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: a greater intelligence and be able to save all of
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: these other animals having been saved himself. Look, I meant
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: to put more thought into the answer. That was the
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: first answer I came up with, and then I got
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: very busy.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: So well, that means we can now move on to
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: talking about what we've seen since the last time we recorded. Obviously,
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: I saw Ariel's band play. They were wonderful. It was
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: really fun to see you play live again. And you know,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: I saw a couple of other shows while I was there.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: I saw a Shakespeare Shorts show that was very cute,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: and I saw the Puppies of Pins and It's a
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Little Dog Performance show which was also very cute. Lots
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: of very funny jokes in that too, and I had
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: a really good time with all that. And I saw
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: the pub sings for the end of the day, which
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: was a lot of fun. But beyond that, I went
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: and saw the movie Hokum, just the Adam Scott film
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: where he's in Ireland, has like all the what we
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: were hoping were Irish folklore inspired spooks. Harryl. If you're bored,
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: you don't need to watch YouTube videos.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: While I'm talking, I was trying to delete something off
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: my phone that kept beeping.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Got it, well, listen, it doesn't bother me if the
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: listeners do it because I don't see them. But no, no,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: So I was disappointed in Hocum. I didn't think that
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: they leaned into the Irish folklore nearly hard enough. I
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: felt the same about The Morrigan. You know, I saw
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: that other horror movie that was based in Ireland called
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: The Morgan. Both of these I felt had the potential
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: to really lean into Irish folklore and make it, you know,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: really infused in the horror, and neither of them really
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: did that. And maybe maybe that blame chaf fall on
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: me for bringing that expectation to the movie. I still
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: thought it was a decent movie. It was weird play
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: seeing Adam Scott play a character who who is overtly
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: unpleasant to everybody. I was not expecting that, but I
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: did enjoy the movie, even though it wasn't what I
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: was hoping it would be.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: I watched another episode of Invincible. I've got three more
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: to go with this season, and that's that one. I
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: enjoyed well enough. Uh it, did you know? The Invincible
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: is one of those shows that I have to work
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: up the motivation to watch, which brings me to the
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: other show that I am expressly not watching, which is
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: The Boys. I am not watching The Boys, but I
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: am reading the recap of each episode because I don't
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: like where The Boys is going, but I'm invested in
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: it and I want to know how it turns out.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: But like, it takes me maybe less than five minutes
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: to read a good recap of an episode, as opposed
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: to sitting through one for an hour, So I just
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: read the recaps.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Now, I think that's a smart choice. I mean, if
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: you enjoy The Boys, you know that. I'm glad you
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: find entertainment in it. But I had to think of
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: the right words because that's how much it just makes
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: me feel gross when I watch.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, and that's intentional, right, Like, that's the intent.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: It's not like it's accidentally being like that. But yeah,
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: I'm growing concerned that the ending is going to be
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: a truly massive downer, and I'm just like, do we
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: really is that really what we needed? Eric, come on, man,
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: And I don't know for sure that that's going to
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: be the case. I also think it's falling into some
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: traps that a lot of other franchises fall into, which
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: is that they feel the need to show that nobody
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: is safe, but they're not ready to pull the trigger
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: on anyone who's really important. So it's a lot of
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: like notable secondary characters, but not like not like one
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: of the primary ones you would expect, especially on the
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: good guy side. The bad guys are dropping like flies
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: because Homelander is a homicidal maniac. But you know, you
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: would think, well, if you really want to impact the story,
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: you should probably kill one of the boys. Not that
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: I think they necessarily need to, but if that's what
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: you're going for, Waiting this long feels weird.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it just everybody has their favorite and we're
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: gonna lose whatever demographic watches for that specific character.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: So possibly, what about you.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: I have not watched a whole lot. I briefly tried
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: to get my husband to go watch Mortal Kombat Too
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: with me last night, but we were just too busy
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: because it comes out today May eighth, as we're recording,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: but there were some early showings but we didn't get
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: to do that. So the end of last week I
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: started watching Pole Dark, which is a historical drama romance
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: thing with Aiden Turner, and mainly I was watching it
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: because it's set in Cardiff, and that's the accent I
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: was trying to do for fair So because I didn't
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: want to do like a you know, a very over
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: the top priority sort of accent, but I wanted to
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: have it there, so I wanted to listen to a
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: bunch of different people do it with a bunch of
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: different heaviness in their speaking, and it is helpful for that.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: A bunch of people still confuse me for Irish, but
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: that's okay. They are similar. They both have rhoticars and such.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: The thing I'll say about Pole Dark, because I do
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: like historical drama romances somewhat, is that it is rushed.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: It is rushed, like they'll cover a whole book in
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: like three days, which means it doesn't feel like the
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: relationships actually have time to grow. They're all just kind
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: of clift noted. It's still good and entertaining, but there's
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: just not room to grow into caring, if that makes sense.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: I've been watching a bunch of just out of like
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: I'm tired and I'm trying to catch up on sleep,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: things that are just easy to watch, so things like smashes,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: try not to laugh, episodes which sometimes are really fantastic
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: and sometimes are really bad, or sometimes they become really
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: fantastic when I'm really tired, but are otherwise really bad. Yeah,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: I've been watching some of Cartoon Hell on Drawout, which
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: is a show it's basically like an animated podcast. So
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: there's two animators called Well and I don't remember the
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: other guy's name, and they sold their soul to make
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: a cartoon show and then died and are stuck in hell,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: and they get suggestions from people or actors as to
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: what to draw, and then they have to make these
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: characters and have like different things thrown in as they
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: draw it, and then make a show about it. It's
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: kind of fun. It's often a little bit raunchier than
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: I like, but it's easy and then I watched tast Master,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: because of course I did.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you should definitely watch the smash Pit episode where Angela, Tommy,
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: and Trevor go to visit Alvea Sanctuary because it's very wholesome,
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: I mean everything.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: I know how much you love Elvira's Sanctuary and everything
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: about it.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, they do good work, and like using the
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Twitch platform in order to spread conservation messages and to
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: limit the actual stressful impact on the animals, I think
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: is an amazing approach, right, because like I like really
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: well done zoos, like zoos that are accredited and are
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: clearly dedicated to the welfare of animals. But there's no
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: denying that it has to be stressful for the animals
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: for just like crowds of people to constantly be going through.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: And the nice thing with alves is you have a
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: dedicated staff that the animals are used to and then
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: only occasionally like the collaborators will come in, but otherwise
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: they aren't stressed out by crowds of people constantly. So
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: I like that model because you still become invested in
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: each individual animal, arguably even more so because you learn
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: about each animal and you can watch the live cams
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: twenty four to seven and just you know, watch these
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: animals as they're going about their day. So I think
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: it's a really good model. But yeah, the Smash folks
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: in particular are really entertaining, but also like Angela, asks
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: great questions and they just have a good time. So
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: I definitely recommend it.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: I haven't been a huge like Smash fan canonically, but
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: the try not to laugh is just something we threw
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: on for because a bunch of Smash people have been
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: coming on Dropout lately, so kind of gateway for my
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: husband and I. So I haven't really gotten into Smash
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: pit to try not to last or just because they're
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: so dumb that it takes no mental energy. But I
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: will definitely check that out when I will definitely check
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: that out.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah it's cute. All right, Well, let us move on
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: to our thirty seconds or last. We've got quite a
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: few this week, and so we're just gonna blast through.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: I believe I go first, so yes, Well, first of all,
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: Ted passed away this week. Turner founded station WTBS, which
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: would pave the way for cable TV channels. He also
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: founded CNN, TNT, Turner Classic Movies and Cartoon Network. Some
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: of his media decisions were questionable, like colorizing old black
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: and white films, but others were unassailable, like the formation
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: of World Championship Wrestling AKAWCW. So farewell ted.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Some people like their movies colorized, some people know, okay.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Lucas Museum of Narrative Art has announced their first exhibit,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: which of course, is Star Wars themed. It's going to
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: be Star Wars in motion, looking at the vehicles of
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: the first six films of the Star Wars saga. It's
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: going to have Luke's Landsfeeder, which is super cool, in
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Greens's wheelbike, which I don't all care about. I do
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: think that this is a cool museum that he's putting together,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: and I think I'd like to visit it if I'm
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: ever in I guess California.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. Well. On May the fourth, Disney gave some
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Star Wars fans in other words, influencers a treat by
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: screening the first twenty five minutes of The Mandalorian and
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: Grogu in IMAX. Now keep in mind these influencers tend
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: to be pretty darn positive about stuff for lots of
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: different reasons. But the early word has been encouraging though
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: one repeated note is that it feels like a bigger
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: version of a Mandalorian TV episode.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Interesting. Sorry I went down a rabbit hole because of
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: this next article, which is that Diego Luna has been
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: announced as an un as a character in the new
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: take live action Tagle movie, but they haven't said who
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: he's gonna be. Was like, is he old enough to
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: be Mother Gothl's love interest?
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: It's a new character for this for this version. Definitely.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So maybe a hedgman that she falls in love
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: with so she can get a happy ending too, is
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: my guess. I'm probably wrong. But he's forty six and
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: she's fifty two. I think doesn't matter. Hollywood doesn't care
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: about age usually in the other direction though, But I
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: like his acting and with Catherine Hanna's mother Gothel, it's
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: sure to be a fun watch.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, how to include that because of the Star Wars
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: connection there too. Anyway, While you won't find me in
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: the theater for this, Deadline reports that the series finale
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: for the Boys will screen in four DX theaters. Now,
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: in case you're not familiar, those are theaters that have
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: seats that vibrate and stuff in an effort to increase
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: immersion and to get around talent contract restrictions. The tickets
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: are free, except to get one you first have to
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: buy a concession voucher, which is sneaky. It hits May nineteen.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Netflix is making a remake of the One of the
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: One Piece anime. They're going to start with like the
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: first fifty chapters in season one, which is the first
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: part Chapter one of the East Bluth saga. But there's
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: like a whole bunch of little little chapters within one
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: big like I guess omnibus for manga and comic books.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Maybe this means that I'll be able to start at
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: the beginning of the One Beast Piece animated finally, because
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: I tried on the old one and after having watched
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: the live action, it didn't hit. But also there's so
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: much of it. Maybe starting at the beginning will be easier.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so we've got now we've got the manga, the anime,
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: the live action, and the new animated series. All right, Well,
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: Tony nominations came out this week. These are the American
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Awards for Achievements in Live Theater. Two musicals netted twelve nominations.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: The musical adaptation of The eighties vampire flick, The Lost Boys,
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: and the musical adaptation of the first season of Apple
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: TV's Smega Doon. Other geeky shows that nominations in various
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: categories include Rocky Horror and Cats The Jellical Ball.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Very interesting. I'm just blown away that Lost Boys got
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: so many gnoms. That's not one that I would have
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: thought made. It would make it good musical, Okay. Matt
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Shachman is directing a new Planets of the eight movie
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: of the OOPS movie. It is not going to be
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: a sequel to Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: He's also the guy who wrote First Steps and worked
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: on Wantavision, so hopefully it'll be a good movie.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, yet another franchise that either it gets rebooted
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: or whatever. I don't know what to call it anymore. Well,
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: good news for fans like yours, truly. NBC has renewed
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins for a second season. Now,
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: that's a show that follows a disgraced former NFL player
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: named Reggie Dinkins played by Tracy Morgan, and a similarly
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: disgraced film director played by Daniel Radcliffe. I hope the
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: show follows in the footsteps of the Office and Parks
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: and rec by getting even better. In season two.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Tim Kring, the creator of the TV show Heroes if
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: you remember that, is making a new drama series for
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: MGM plus. It is The Magnificent Seven. What a novel
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: idea about seven Gunslingers. It's never been done before. Yeah,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: except did me to talk about it earlier in this episode.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: No. I had to include that because when I saw that,
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: I was like, really again, not that like, there's enough,
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: I'll drop it. But there's enough other stories out there
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: that clearly take their inspiration from Seven Samurai, which is
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: the progenitor of all this stuff, so I believe. We
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: previously mentioned that Praamount planned a follow up film to
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: the twenty twenty four horror movie Long Legs. Now we
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: know that the studio intends for that follow up to
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: come out on January fourteenth, twenty twenty eight. Osgood Perkins
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: will write and direct the new film. Nicholas Cage will
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: appear in it, but reportedly this movie will not actually
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: be a sequel so much as a movie that's set
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: in the same universe as Long Legs.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: And a Short Skirt. If you like game Changer and
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: you've wanted to play it, but you are not famous
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: enough to get on the show. Guess what A home
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: edition has kickstarted. Don't worry. You can steal back the
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: project and it will get made because it has far, far, far,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: far far exceeded its funding goals, along with me on Odyssey,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: which is a space opera D and D game system
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: that one of my friends worked on. Now I got
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: a long list of projects you could support if you wanted,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: including the show that I'm on, Shadow City Mysteries, but
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: I will stop shilling there.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: Paris Hilton's production company, eleven to eleven Media, will partner
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: with Darren Lynn Mouseman, who directed four of the movies
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: in the Saw franchise, to create a horror film titled
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Road to Reality. The premise sound like a horror dark
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: comedy in which a long running reality TV show is
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: on the verge of falling apart as the various personalities
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: involved become more unhinged, which sounds like normal reality TV
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: to me.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, there are some properties that neither Tony are
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: not Tony Jonathan nor I care for. We've had to
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: push him back and forth on each other, and Jonathan's
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: done that to me this week because I have to
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: talk about Focus Focus specifically, they're getting a third movie.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: I did not watch the second. I only cared for
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: the first a little bit because I only watched it
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: by the last five years. So but if you like that,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: that's great news for you. It's still gonna have that
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Middler star Jessy Parker on Kathy Ninjenny.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, I could have given you this one where
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: I guess it should come as no surprise that we're
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: getting a sequel to the public domain slasher movie Popeye
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: The Slayer Man Daniel Baldwin and Ava ron Ava Riyana Rose. God,
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: I know I butchered your name, miss Rose. I apologize anyway.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: They're joining the cast and includes a bunch of people
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: that I don't recognize, but I'm sure they're really dedicated
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: and talented actors. Baldwin's going to play a mayor at
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: Rose is his daughter, who is also the founder of
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: the action group Babes Against Bullying, So it all sounds
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: really enlightening.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: We are getting a new TV series, at least in Europe,
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: called The Death of Sherlock Holmes starring rat Rath Rafe Spaul,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: which apparently will cover the years between the time that
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Sherlock Holmes dies at Reichenbach Falls and the time that
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: he comes back, because that was never really explored by
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Arthur Conan Doyle. My question is, do we need to
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: know what happened during that time? They better make it interesting.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah. The premise I've heard is that Holmes wakes up,
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: but he has amnesia and he ends up helping some
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: people in the village because his powers of observation and
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: deduction are still there, but his memory is gone. And
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: I thought people in.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: A small village if he had his memory.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well he might if the problem was interesting enough.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: That's the only thing that he really cared about, is
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: if the problem was interesting. He didn't really care the
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: scale or who it was affecting. But yeah, I think
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: so I kind of wanted to do a real quick
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: discussion about creating stories with IP that's now in the
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: public domain, because we our last two stories covered that, right,
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: we had Popeye, the Slayer Man and the Death of
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: Sherlock Holmes. So I think I like things that are
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: in the second category, like the Death of Sherlock Holmes,
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: where you have expansions on an established story and world,
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: but still, you know, still obeying the established rules of
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: whatever that character or world or whatever is. I less
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: like projects that are, in my opinion, exploiting existing ip
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: for recognition but doing it mostly for shock value. By hey,
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: let's insert this character into a situation this character would
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: never be in normally.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: All the horror, yeah, but all the horror stuff is
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: what I'm talking about. Like, for a little short comedy skit,
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: that's one thing. But to make a two hour long
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: slasher movie where Winnie the Pooh is your villain or whatever,
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: I just think that's lazy.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: I think so too. I mean, honestly, it's not the
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: same thing. But I feel the same way. We've talked
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: about it before about making villains sympathetic when they don't
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: need to be. Like, some villains are great to be sympathetic,
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: and usually when you start them that way.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but rerunning.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: History, but that's less, that's less public domain and more
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: I GIF, it's still laziness.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: I feel like, yeah, oh yeah, it's going back to
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: the well that you've already established and trying to trying
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: to get more out of it because it's a recognized asset, right.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, But I do love I do love stuff like
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: Sherlock Holmes though, because there are so many great stories
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: that get forgotten otherwise.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: No, and I don't mind the different takes on Sherlock
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: Holmes again, as long as it doesn't feel like you're
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: just taking the name and maybe some recognizable features of
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: Sherlock Holmes. But then you know he's not a detective
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: and he doesn't have good powers of observation. And also
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: it's in space, like at some point you're just like, Okay,
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: well you're not. All you're doing is borrowing a little
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: bit of iconography and name recognition in order to sell. Like,
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: the question I would have is if you if this
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: was not Cherlock Holmes, would you still make this movie?
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: Like could this movie exist if it weren't Cherlock Holmes, Yes,
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: would you make it?
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: No?
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: Well, then the answer there is you're exploiting the character. Yeah, yeah,
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: so I'm I. You know, that's just how I feel
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: about these public domain things, Like is it funny to
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: see the Steamboat Willie version of Mickey Mouse portrayed as
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: like a horror movie monster. Yeah, it's funny. I don't
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: think it supports a whole movie. And you know you're
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: legally within your right to do it, but it doesn't
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: make it good.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it should just be an internet meme and live there.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, kind of like Snakes on a Plane. Snakes on
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: a Plane was great as a meme and also as
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: a song, but not so good as a movie.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I it's a They have an amazing soundtrack,
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: but yeah, the movie was sub par.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, let us move on.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: Then.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: I just needed to get that off Chess because I
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: was like, yeah, there's a good way of doing this
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: in a bad way I think in my opinion, and
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: other people may feel differently, and that's fine. But we're
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: going to move on to a segment that this week
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: we're calling stuff that ain't PWPW laser or Shing Shing sword,
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: but we want to mention them anyway or magic.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: And the first one is a trailer for Marty Life
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: is Short. And no, this is not about the Ping
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: Pong character that Timothy Shalla may play. This is about
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Martin Short. Yes, And when I first saw you put
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: this trailer in the lineup, Jonathan, I was like, he's
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: still alive. Do we need that? But watching the trailer
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: it looks absolutely delightful.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, which is there's heartbreak in it too. He has
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: suffered lots of tragedy. His wife passed away in I
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: think twenty ten, and then he lost his daughter to
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: suicide earlier this year, and so there are certainly tragic
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: elements to his life. But the trailer shows friends and
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: colleagues of Martin Short who are just bubbling over to
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: talk about how incredibly witty and fast he is. And
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: the documentary is filled with like home movie footage of
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: Martin Short with his friends and family. And they had
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: a big premiere at the Egyptian Theater. The series or
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: the documentary doesn't come out until May twelfth on Netflix,
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: but they had a premiere at the Egyptian Theater in
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: la and it sounds like it was just a spectacular event.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So I think this looks really good. It's gonna
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: I think there's gonna be parts that are gonna be heartbreaking,
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: but I think I think overall it's gonna be joyful.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: Well even during those heartbreaking points, He's like, there was
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: it was hard, for sure, but there was still laughter.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: And I think, like the thing that's clear that Martin
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: Short really tries to bring joy to other people's lives,
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: which I feel like is an important way to live
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: your life. Although some of it I'm sure is deflection
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: from hard stuff, but it also means that people will
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: step up for you.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, things are hard for you, So.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: I think it's despite the heart it feels uplifting.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: Do you have a favorite like Martin short performance or
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: character that you can think of, Like, when I think
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: of performances, Three of Egos jumps to mind, because I
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: just love that movie.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: But I do like that movie. I'm trying to think,
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: because it's he's done so much stuff, right.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, like from his SCTV days way back when.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean like he's been in a bunch of
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: stuff that I really love, you know what, you know
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: what's really dumb. I really loved him in the nineteen
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: ninety eight Merlin.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I forgot that he was in that. That's
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: the one with Sam Neil.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: Right, yeah. And I also loved him in he was
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: the Mad Hatter in the like the Masterpiece. I don't
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: know it was a Masterpiece. It was a Disney movie.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: It was an Alison Wonderland Disney movie. It also had
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: Miranda Richardson and Gene Wilder and then Kingsley and Whoopi
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: Goldberg was the cheshire Cat and Christopher Lloyd was the
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: White Knight and he played the Mad Hatter. And that
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: version of Alice in Wonderland is absolutely delightful. It's maybe
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: my second favorite version after the one with Carol Channing.
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, JM Tamara GM yesterday. Yeah, you know that's great. Yeah.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: I also like, I mean, I also really like his
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: jim Andy Glick character, the celebrity interviewer who is just
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: constantly ignorant of whatever his guest has done and is
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: also giving backhanded compliments and insults and equal measure.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, are the blowing my house again? My house is
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: that dirty?
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna comment on that.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: We're gonna move right along too.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Well. I just want to say I never really got
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: into like his SNL characters, So I never really watched
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: Glick or the other one, Ed Grimley or anything like that.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, my muthay Ed Grimley. I liked more than his
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: his lounge singer character, who was kind of entertaining. Like
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: it's weird because if I watch the old SCTV stuff,
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, about about half of this stuff is
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: landing for me. But I think a large part of
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: that is because it's appealing to a very Canadian sense
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: of humor, which is similar to, but not identical to,
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: an American sense of humor.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, next up, we have a trailer for Tony,
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: which is a biopic about a particular dude who had
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: become a very influential chef and television personality.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Tony is about Anthony Bourdain, who honestly is a chef.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: Like I never really watched his travel show. I wasn't
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: super familiar with him till after his passing. I knew
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: he we was, but I always watched other food travel shows.
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: But this looks like an interesting because he wasn't like
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: he was an interesting character, right. He was sometimes abrasive
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: but also had a lot of respect, And this movie
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: kind of feels like it's not pulling its punches on that.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. Then the trailer, he's a young man. He's like,
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: he has aspirations of being a writer, but he fails
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: to land it's either a scholarship or a grant, but
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: he fails to land it, and it kind of throws
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: his plans out the window because he was really banking
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: on getting it and when he doesn't, it messes him
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: up and he ends up getting hired by a chef
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: who becomes kind of his mentor and then over Yeah,
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: which I didn't even recognize it, Like like I watched
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: this whole trailer and I'm like, that actor is really good.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: I wonder that, and I did not realize it was
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: Antonio Benderis until I looked at Wikipedia. That's not to
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: say that he's unrecognizable. It means that I was unable
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: to recognize him. But uh, anyway, Yeah, he's definitely very
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: acerbic and like he can be a little like definitely
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: rough around the edges. But this also shows kind of
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: like the story of him becoming interested and then obsessed
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: with creativity and innovation in food, and I think that's
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: really really interesting. The film comes out in August, and yeah,
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: I dominic Cessa plays Anthony Bourdain, a very young Anthony Bourdain.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: So I'll probably check this out when it comes out,
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: because it definitely it looks like they've really really, you know,
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: found the right balance between Okay, let's tell someone's story,
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: but let's also really like create a good dramatic narrative.
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, and I love watching I know both
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: you and I love food and creativity and food and cooking,
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: and I really love watching other people. It's the whole
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: reason I like watching the Bear, you know, is not
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: for all of the arguing that goes on. It's for
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: the food creativity and the kind like the learning how
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: to cook and all that, because it's all very truthful
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: in there. So yeah, I have chef's chefs teaching it.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: So yeah, so yeah, check that out. Be aware that
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: there's salty language in the trailer in case, in case,
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: you're curious to check it out and you don't want
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: little ones hearing certain objectionable words. But other than that,
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: I think you should check it out.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: The next oh please, no.
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: No, I was gonna say. The next trailer we have
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: is for a I think it's a I should have
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: let you do this because I don't know if a
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: movie or TV show. I think it's a movie.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's a film.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: Called Sunny Dancer, which is about what happens to little
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: Miss Sunshine when she grows up. Now I'm kidding.
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so this one also has salty language in it.
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: So this is a film. Bella Ramsey stars as a
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: seventeen year old character named Ivy, who has recently undergone
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: cancer treatments, and her parents enroll her in a summer
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: camp where it's other kids who have similarly undergone things
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: like cancer treatments, in the hopes that she will find,
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: you know, bonds of friendship and ways to heal with
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: the other people who have been in a similar situation.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: Neil Patrick Harris plays one of the camp counselors that
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: looks like and kind of like like like Anthony Bourdain.
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: She's really rough around the edges and really resistant at first.
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, but I feel like that is reasonable
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: and believable, right, absolutely, if you're a teenager and you're
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: having to deal with cancer and chemotherapy, that is rough,
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: and you know, I would not blame any kid for
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: having some salty language from that. It does look like
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: in the trailer that she does find friendship, and you know,
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: though begrudgingly, the camp does its part, right. Yeah, I mean,
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: there was no go ahead.
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: I was just gonna say, like, yeah, and I put
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: myself in the mindset of a seventeen year old, not
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: just someone who's undergone cancer treatment, but at seventeen, Like
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: any seventeen year old is going to think that they
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: are too old for summer camp, right, so like it's
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: another hurdle you have to overcome.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: For sure. There was one moment at the end of
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: this because it does have salty language, and it does
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: have which I cussed Jonathan knows that you guys probably
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: don't because I don't do it much on this podcast. Yeah,
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: but I don't supermind that. But towards the end of
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: the trailer, there was one bit where it looks like
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: a couple of kids are maybe getting their sexy time
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: on in a tent and it's absolutely not. And that
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: moment just endeared me to this movie.
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: That one moment, the reveal that what you might first
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: mistake for enthusiastic love making is not what it appears
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: to be.
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: Because that means that they're letting the teenagers still have
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: youthfulness in this.
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: They're still able to be kids. It comes out in
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: the UK and Ireland on August fourteenth. I don't know
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: if there is a USA release date yet. I did
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: not see that. I'm sure it will come over here.
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: Whether it will come over here in theaters or streaming,
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but yeah, it looks really well made
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: and I'm hopeful that it gets a really good reception.
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: Next up, we talked about this one because I watched
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: it and I still don't know what it's about.
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: Okay, it's a trailer for a movie called motor City,
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: which references Detroit. It's said in nineteen seventies Detroit, and
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: it stars Alan Mann Meet Mountain Richson as the main character.
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: And he's he's a prisoner who is being released, likes
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: he served his time. He's being released, and he's on
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: a revenge mission to go after people who wrongfully made
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: sure that he went to prison and other stuff that happened.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: I don't want to talk about. But anyway, according to Wikipedia,
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: here's something that's crazy. So it's your typical revenge movie. Right,
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: person sent to prison, they're getting out, they're laying the
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: smack down. That's tale. Is all's time. It comes out
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: July twenty fourth. That's all you want to hear. That's fine.
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: But what I found the interesting area, Yeah, this, you know, actually,
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: this part you'll actually find interesting. Though. This has nothing
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: to do with the content of the movie, but rather
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: the process of getting it made. So this film, the
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: original version of this film was to go into production
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: back in twenty twelve geez. Now, back then it was
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: not Man Meat Mountain who was going to be in it.
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: It was Dominic Cooper initially. Then Jake Jillenhall was going
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: to be the main character. Then Gerard Butler was going
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: to be the main character, but that never worked out. Also,
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: the actor who originally was to play the villain, Gary Oldman.
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: Now I'm sad, yeah, I know, right, like, you're not
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: getting Gary Oldman in this one. But anyway, I included
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: the trailer here because, like it's it does have Man
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: Meat Mountain in it, and I love talking about him,
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: even though I don't really care for most of the
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: stuff he does. He's just he's a big doodo who
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: hits things. He's smart too, but the roles he takes
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: are big dude who hits things.
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: So you keep saying big dude who hits things, But
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: I keep hearing big doodoo hits things.
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, depending upon your opinions about his acting equality. Anyway,
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: So moving on next, we get the polar opposite of
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: Man Meat Mountain. We get pretty little blonde pink princess.
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we got the trailer finally for the TV show
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: l which is a prequel to Legally Blonde, which is
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: a movie if you are unfamiliar, about a valley girl
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: who excels at law school and becomes a lawyer.
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Elle Woods is the character name. And so in
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: this trailer we see that she has this idealized, insanely
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: privileged life in bel Air, California, when her dad, who's
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: some sort of doctor, is has to relocate the whole
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: family to Seattle because of a job prospect and how
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: that's going to ruin her life. And I'm like, well,
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: you're not getting any sympathy out of me. You have
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: more money than God. I look at this house. This
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: is a fucking mansion. I am not feeling sorry for you, Missy.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, like she does in the movie too, right,
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: at least as far as I remember, I liked the
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: movie way more than I thought I would. I'm actually
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: interested in this show. But I was also a fan
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: of Clueless, even though I grew up on the lower side,
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: much lower side of the income range.
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: Right, yeah, same.
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: Some might even say at times, we're in the poverty realm,
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: but it's still fun. It's still fun because, like it shows,
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: even though she is privileged, she eventually turns it around
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: to help others.
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's nice. I'm sure Like the trailer was
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: just giving us the sense of she becomes fish out
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: of water because she goes into the whole grunge scene
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: of Seattle, and here she is this very manicured, pedicured
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: blonde obsessed with pink princess character. So there's gonna be
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: a lot of that fish out of water stuff. I
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: suspect we'll see more changes from the people around her
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: than we will with her, but that's just a guess.
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: It comes to prime on July first.
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: Based on the sequel, which has already been out.
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well like yeah, because otherwise, like if you
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: change her too much, then she can't be the character
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: that she is in the movie. But that means someone
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: else has to change, because otherwise what are you doing?
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: But anyway, that comes, like I said, July first, on Brian,
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: it looks cute. I don't think I will watch it.
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: It's not really my thing.
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: I might watch it. We'll see because I get board
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: and need just fun stuff and that looks fun.
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: Next we have next we have a trailer for This
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: Tempting Madness, which is about a girl who comes out
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: of a coma and then has issues with her memory,
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: starring Simone Ashley, who was in the star of season
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: two of Ridgerton.
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so, yeah, this character has a massive accident or
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: is it an accident? Maybe it wasn't accident till at all,
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: and as like she, like Ariel says, she goes into
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: a coma. When she comes out of her coma, she
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: finds out her husband has been arrested for under suspicion
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: that he was the one who caused her accident, but
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: since she doesn't have access to her memory, she's not
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: sure that that's true. So it could have been him,
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: maybe it was maybe she did it to herself, or
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: maybe some mysterious third party did it. And now is
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: just like skating by the fact that she can't remember
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: and the husband's in jail for the crime. Anyway, Yeah,
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: it comes out June twelfth. The trailer was very I
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: would say, like artistic, I guess is a word I
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: would use, like like there are a lot of artistic
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: camera and lighting.
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: Choices, interesting cinematography in our Yeah.
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's much better way of putting it.
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: Might be a reason just to give it a glance.
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: And the last thing we have in this category of
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: things that maybe we shouldn't even be talking about on
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: a day when we have such a time crunch, but
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: we are. Is a TV series coming out called Alice
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: and Steve where I love some of the actors in it,
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: and I don't think I like the concept.
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're calling it a wrong calm. Alice and Steve
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: are two old friends, like they've known each other for decades,
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: and Nikola Walker plays Alice and Jamaine Clement plays Steve
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: Jamaine Clement of Flight of the Concords fame, and Steve
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: is a single man and he's kind of like bummed
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: about it. Alice is married and has an adult daughter,
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: and therein lies the problem because Alice's adult daughter gets
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: a crush on Steve, and Steve gets a crush on
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: Alice's adult daughter, and so the two begin dating and
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: thus understandably create somewhat of a strain upon Alice and
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: Steve's friendship.
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: Well, you know what, I like the concept better now
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: because I guess I was only paying like seventy five
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: percent attention For some reason, I thought that the mom
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: was dating Steve, that Alice is dating Steve, and then
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: the daughter's like, oopsie, I'm taking him.
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that would be super weird. No. No, the
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: husband is still in the picture, at least accory to Wikipedia,
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: although if he shows up in the trailer, I don't
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: know who it is because it's never made clear in
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: the trailer. It looks funny, it's a weird concept. The
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: show comes out on Disney Plus and Hulu on June eighth,
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: So I am a big Jamaine Clement fan, so maybe
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: I'll check this out. But yeah, the premise is kind
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: of it's definitely toying with Ikey.
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. It also has Joel Fry in it, And
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: wasn't Joel Fry in Coupling?
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: Maybe?
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: I probably never.
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: I never. I never watched Coupling, so I wouldn't be
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: able to tell you.
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: No, he was in our flag means death. But I
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: also like he's a good actor.
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so anyway, that's the stuff. What doesn't fit now,
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: as is our wont It's time to take a hard
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: left turn down this spooky corridor into this spider shaped
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: spider door, through which we will walk into a spider
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: carpet of spiders to check out horror Hutch.
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, you know what I always deny you on this
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: and the rule of improv is to yes and so yes,
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: and I'll stay outside.
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: That's fair enough. Now before I begin, Ariel, Now, I
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: know you were like in a time crunch before we
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: were to go record, did you did you watch these
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: or did you skip out?
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: I so I thought. I watched like a tiny bit
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: of Petty Lane Is Dead a couple of days ago
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: because I was checking to see if it was something
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: to add to the line.
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: And then I was like, that's the hardest one.
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: Well, like I watched like five seconds of it, and
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: I'm like, if Jonathan wants to add it, he can,
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: but I'm out. I tried to watch Evil Deadburn and
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: I got to the fingers and was done. Yeah, and
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: I did watch Cape Fear, but now I also know
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: that I should not watch the show. All right on
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: the trailer?
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: Fair enough? Okay, Well, and those are the three that
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: I'm specifically going to talk about. Yes, I'll mention a
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: few others real quick, but uh, we're gonna take them
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: in the order that I have them there, which is
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: first up? As first up is Evil Dead Burn. So yeah,
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: this gave us a lot more information than the teaser.
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: The teaser was really just to kind of give you
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: a sense of the mood and tone of the film
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: and the amount of violence to expect. This actually gives
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: us more about the premise. It also gives us some
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: final destination foreshadowing moments, specifically when someone opens up a
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: dishwasher and pulls out the lower tray and it's filled
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: with uh, sharp implements that are pointing, pointing straight up,
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: and you just know someone's gonna end up landing on
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: that because of final destination rules, And sure enough it happens.
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: That high pitch, by the way, is aerial in case
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: you were wondering either that or my tendatus is so
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: bad that it's audible.
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: Now, oh, I just follow you around and do that.
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: That makes so much more sense now, well, uh, the
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of like, there's a lot of Evil
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: Dead DNA in this, in that the cinematography includes things
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: like really wild camera pans, and there's at least one
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: sequence where there's like a camera zooming over a forest
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: and that makes me think of like the original Evil
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: Dead cinematography where they had a camera like zooming through
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: different areas. So I thought that was kind of cool.
• 56:17
  Speaker 3: It is, but it also feels much meaner well, yes,
• 56:25
  Speaker 3: these Evil Dead movies.
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: The first Evil Dead movie is very mean, the second
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: Evil Dead movie is more of a comedy horror, and
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: then Army of Darkness is almost just outright of comedy.
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: But this Evil Dead is definitely more horror than anything else.
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: And the fingers that Ariel was talking about, a character
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: gets her fingers cut off by a door, a car
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: door slamming on her hand, and then she becomes a
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: dead height So that's not good anyway you find out
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: Apparently the pre is that there's a family that suffered
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: a loss, like a sun died somehow, and the implication
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: is that maybe someone is reading from the Book of
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: the Dead in the hopes of bringing back the sun,
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: but instead the dead Heites come in, because of course
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: they do. I will say, there is one moment in
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: this trailer that I thought had some really bad cgi
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: in it that was actually taking me out of the moment.
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: I did not like. It had someone scrambling up a
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: rooftop and it just didn't look it looked too like
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: this is a spider person, And I think it was
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: supposed to be just one of the human protagonists, like
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: kind of running away from dead heightes. But it didn't
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: look natural to me, and that threw me off, But overall,
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: I think it does look pretty effective. It comes out
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: July tenth. Next, I have the Cape Fear full trailer. Oh,
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: do you want to have something to say about Evil Deadburn?
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: Nope?
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: Okay, I don't mean to cut you off. The Cape
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: Fear mini series. It's coming up on Apple TV PLA. Now,
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: we mentioned this a couple of weeks ago. We talked
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: about how Kate Fear has been adapted a few times.
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: The thing that struck me in this particular preview is
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: that Max Katie, who is the convict character. Usually he's
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: depicted as a true psychopath and someone that lawyers helped
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: put away, either by withholding information or bringing up info
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: that they have that otherwise would not have come to light,
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: and thus sends Max Katie away. This preview makes it
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: seem like Max Katie's big problem is that he was
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: he was accused of a murder he didn't commit, and
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: that kind of bugs me. I mean, I'm assuming that
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: he's a bad person who's done other things that would
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: you know, would typically lead to him being incarcerated. But
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: in this trailer, it looks like the lawyer played by
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: Amy Adams believe had accused him and maybe even fabricated
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: evidence or something to make it seem like he was
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: the perpetrator of a murder. That's weird to me. Maybe
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: there's probably way more to it, but it just is
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: like the way it's sprained him, like he's kind of
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: justified in wanting revenge on this person, because if he
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: actually didn't commit a murder and then he was sent
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: to prison for seventeen years or whatever, he's got some
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: bones to pick. Javier Bardem is playing Katie, and he
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: does look really intimidating, and the trailer's done. The trailer's
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: really well done. But I just don't I don't know.
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, yeah, like I wanna want to watch it.
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: I never watched the old one. There the moment with
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: the cooler in the pool makes me think that that's.
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: The one where the family pet has been dispatched, Yeah,
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: because that's usually part of the story. Almost every version
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: of the story has Katie killing the family dog as
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: like the first step on the escalation of terrorization that
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: he does to the family. It comes to Apple TV
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: Plus on June fifth. I will probably check it out
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: at least to see Javier Bayerdem's performance. But if it
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: looks like it's going to be a thing where he
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: was not, like he was an innocent man who then
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: gets corrupted in prison and then seeks revenge, I'll probably
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: jump out because, like, it's hard for me to sympathize
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: with somebody who would purposefully, you know, manipulate the law
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: system so that an innocent person would go to jail.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking that he's got to be guilty of other stuff,
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: and it's just that they found they could get this
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: charge to stick to him, whereas the things that he
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: was actually guilty of they couldn't. That's what I'm hoping
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: for anyway. The third film, as we mentioned, is Penny
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: Lane is Dead. This is an Australian horror slash dark comedy.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: But as dark comedies go, this is as dark as
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: it gets.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: It is. Yeah, you can't even see the action.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: No, that's it is. Listen, this movie might be too
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: much for me. I don't know that I could watch this.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: The character Penny Lane is like a young adult woman,
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: teenager I think, who's having a sleepover party with a
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: couple of her friends, one of whom is her secret girlfriend,
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: and then her irresponsible and rowdy and drug adult cousin
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: Kat crashes the party. Kat has an ax to grind
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: against Penny Lane. She uses various drugs to spike a
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: cupcake to knock Penny Lane out, and then she essentially
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: invites her no good friends who are all like criminals,
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: to come and crash the party. And so it becomes
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: kind of a you know, the these psychopaths terrorizing young
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: women type of film. There's elements of assault, which really
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: that's one of my big triggers. I don't think I
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: can handle it. And there's elements of like revenge, so
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: kind of like the Hills have Eyes kind of thing,
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: or lots of violence and a lot of stuff that
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: we can't really talk about on a family friendly podcast.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: And like I said, it looks like it's too much
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: for me, not the kind of thing I would seek out.
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: But I found it interesting that someone was still making
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: movies like this, Like it's not quite to grindhouse level
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: as far as the content goes, but it's flirting with
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: it in a way that I thought was interesting and
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: definitely was more interesting than some of the other movies
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: that I encountered this week. It comes out in Australia
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: at least on July twenty third.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: Mind you, I've never watched grindhouse movies, but I always
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: thought they were a little bit more campy and tongue
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: in cheese.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: No, some of them are real dark and depraved. Yeah,
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: and usually, like I'll give you, I'll give you the
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: standard grindhouse formula. You start the movie with something spectacular,
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: whether that's a stunt or an act of violence or
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: some sort of you know other like like really attention
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: grabbing moment. Then you have a really long stretch where
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: people talk a lot because you don't have the budget
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: to sustain that role movie, and then you end with
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: another big attention grabbing moment. So that's typically the way
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: grindhouse films are constructed, because you never had the budget
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: to go, you know, bonkers through the whole film. Others,
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: I just want to mention real quick before we move on.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: These are ones that I'm not going to give a
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: full description to. There was a trailer for a movie
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: called Pitfall, which is a survival slasher film kind of
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: Another Most Dangerous Game variant that comes out of Go Ahead.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: Is it based off of the game, No, it is.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: Not at all based off the game, has nothing to
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: do with the arcade game or video game comes out
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: May twenty ninth. Pitfall Hungry is more based on Hungry
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: Hungry Hippos. Then Pitfall is based on a game. Next
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: is Find Your Friends, which is another film about girls
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: going out and partying and then being threatened by men
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: that comes out June twelfth. And then we have the
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: Voices of Our Mother, which is a family trauma meets
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: demonic possession horror movie that comes out on Shutter on
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: June nineteenth. And that's it. We can now emerge from
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: the spider filled spider Verse and get back into the
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: main show lineup.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: I don't want your Spider Verse to intersect with the
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: Spider Man spider Verse. I know it kind of did
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: the other.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: Week, but yeah, done, Okay, that's fair. That's fair. First
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: up in our actual lineup is a trailer for a
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: sign fiction film called Signal one.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and this it has some actors in it who
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: are legit actors like Josh Hutcherson and.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: H Dennis Quaid and.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: David David trying to think of David Thullis. But if
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: you hadn't, if I, if I didn't know better, I
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: would have thought that it was like the asylum that
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: you hate, the asylum version of Disclosure Day.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: I wrote the same thing in my notes, Yeah, I wrote, Actually,
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: I wrote, it feels like it's counterprogramming to Spielberg's Disclosure Day,
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: because it does appear to be a movie where a
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: billionaire is assembling a group of computer programmers and scientists
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: and an effort to search for alien life. So it
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: and then like how that would impact everything, right, Like
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: discovering that there are aliens and that humanity is not
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: the only intelligent species in the universe, how that would
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 2: affect us? So that's that's the core of Disclosure Day.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 2: And it looks more like this is a kind of
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 2: a much more shallow approach to treating that. I mean,
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: based on the trailer. Like again, we don't have the
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: full movie, so maybe the full movie feels different. But
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: I also put that there also appears to be some
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: commentary about the influence of billionaires, like how billionaires wield
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: so much power.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: So so the film production company behind this movie is
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: based duel based in I think la and Ontario. I
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: can definitely see kind of like that more Canadian sort
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: of a vibe to it again, but that Josh Hutchardson
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: does a lot of stuff like that, like stuff that
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: would fall closer to like the B B movie level.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't think it looks bad. I just
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: don't think it looks good either. It kind of feels
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: middle of the road to me.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: It comes out in select theaters and video on demand
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: on June fifth, which also that's I mean video on
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: demand as a debut. That's not the that's not the
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: judgment that it used to be, right, Like if things
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: went to straight to video back in the day, you
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: were like, Okay, well that's a certain quality. It means
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: that it's a notch below theatrical. These days, there's not
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: as clear a line. But I think there's still some
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: of that stigma attached.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: There is, but COVID killed a lot of that because
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: during COVID everything was direct to video.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: The next trailer we have is for Oh Horizon. I
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: had to make sure that it was not zero Horizon.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: Oh Horizon, which is about a girl whose father dies
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: and she doesn't want to let go, and so she
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: visits Zach Galifanakis and he makes an ai of her dad.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: To talk to her. It had some same vibes to
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: me as good luck, have fun, don't die with the
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: school shooting storyline.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: Is it actually Zach galifan Akis.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's actually him. He's at least
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: playing the character.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: No, I mean I didn't even realize that it was
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: him play the character. I did not recognize him in
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: this either.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: Now I'm double checking, but continue talking.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: Okay, So yeah, yeah, but yeah, she's a she's a neuroscientist,
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: and she's finding it very difficult to cope.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: No, it's Adam pal.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 2: I was like, I was like, am I going crazy?
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: It was dark in the room. I couldn't tell.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but the screen should have been lit up anyway,
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: Like you weren't there when they were filming it, were you?
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 2: If you were casting? As you have to tell me?
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: All right? No, all right? So, yeah, she she's finding
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: it difficult to cope with with the loss of her father,
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: and then once she gets this digital recreation of her father,
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: she's spending more and more time talking with this, you know,
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: essentially digital clone of her dad, and that impacts her
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: life decisions and also how she interacts with the people
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: around her, who in turn become concerned about her and
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: her reliance upon this. So it's an interesting idea and
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: it's really like it's in the realm of science fiction,
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: but not by much, right we are, We are real
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: close to this kind of stuff. So this comes out
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 2: June twelfth. It almost I almost put it in our
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: previous section, not the horror Hutch, but the one before,
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: but because it almost isn't science fiction.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I do like the fact that it seems like
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: towards the end, the Ai Dad is like it's okay
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: to not need me anymore.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: Basically, yeah, yeah, yeah, Because like a lot of stories
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 2: we've talked about over the last few year, is there
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 2: is like one of the big you know, one of
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: the central topics is grief and how to grieve. And
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: I think it's interesting that we've had so many works
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: that are in the genre field, like sci fi, fantasy,
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 2: that kind of stuff, superheroes, where grief is like a
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: one of the central pillars of the storytelling.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: That's something that is universal, unavoidable, and everybody wishes he
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: could fix. So it makes a lot of sense.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 2: It's true, very true. How do you think how do
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: you think pac Man would handle it? I mean he
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 2: deals with ghosts all the time.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, one, I think he's a cold hearted jelly
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: donut minus a whole jelly filled donut. Two, I think
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: he would up and leave town. But I guess we'll
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: find out, because we're getting a new animated short series
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: which follows pac Man is he leaves his village for
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: pack City.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 2: New pac City.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: New pac City, and it's called pac Man Snack Breaks
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: because he was, of course fueled by eating little dot
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: snacks and fruit snacks and I guess ghost snacks.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, after a power pellet munched down on some ghosts.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: So yeah, this is going to come out on the
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: YouTube channel for pac Man, and it launches on May
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: twenty second. It's two D animation, so it's not like
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: three D rendered or anything. I thought it looked cute.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I like this direction a lot better than the
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: direction that Loved Death and Robots took pac Man. Oh No,
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: not that one. There was a game shorts anthology made
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: by the same people.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the one where they took different video games as
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: inspiration for news stories. I remember. I don't remember what
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 2: that one was called, but I do remember that one
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 2: coming out. I think it was on Netflix.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: Secret level senate level on Amazon Amazon.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 2: You know, I can never keep them all straight. This one,
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: this pac Man one though much more for like all ages,
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: and it comes out on YouTube. So yeah, if you
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: got YouTube, you can watch that.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: It looks fun. Next ba Man had such a huge drava.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean there were previous cartoon series and everything,
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 2: but I yeah, it's weird to think of pac Man
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 2: still having social relevance, Like I still obviously like I
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: grew up in the pac Man era, like I remember
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: when that game came out. But yeah, I would think
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: that a kid today wouldn't have really any cultural touchstone
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: with Backman. But what do I know? Next up, this
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 2: could have gone in the horror hutch kind of, except
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: it's so silly that I feel like it fits more
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: in here.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I mean we talk about spooky stuff and
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: monster stuff in our regular show notes often, so this
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: is Models versus were Wolves, where a bunch of models
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: go into the woods and get attacked by were wolves
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: who might also be models.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and apparently it's they're they're they're going out to
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 2: a remote airbnb where a full moon. That quote hasn't
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: happened in over five hundred years in the quote takes
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: place and like the the models are are there. There's
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: one member in particular who's very witchy, so she's like, let, yeah,
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: we're gonna get back in touch with the moon and
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: you know, have the moon affect us and guide us
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: and you know, very very uh. In front of the show,
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: Shayley would be like, I see what they're doing. They
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 2: are making fun of me, is what she would say.
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 2: And there's a lot of jokes, like really easy jokes
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: about models being kind of vapid and like just absolutely
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 2: obsessed with appearance over everything else and taking selfies and
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 2: things like that and try to make content. So I
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: don't think this looks I don't think it looks scary.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: I don't think it looks really funny because I feel
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: like all the jokes are way too easy.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it almost has like a late eighties early nineties
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: sensibility to it.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think the people who are in it are
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: you know, they're doing their best. I don't think they're
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: bad at acting. I think the acting is fine. It's
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 2: the material that, you know. I think I think if
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 2: the material were better, I would be like, this looks
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: campy and fun right now. It just kind of looks
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know, it's not to the point of looking trashy.
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: It doesn't look trashy. It just looks like it could
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: have been better. That's based upon a trailer, though, as
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 2: we always say, maybe the actual film I'd feel differently about.
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 2: This is going to come to streaming on the Full
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 2: Moon Features platform, which I didn't even know was a thing,
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: and it comes out this summer. I don't have a.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: Date to go to the maybe Shaw will go.
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 2: I don't have a date when it comes out. I mean,
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 2: I also don't have a date, So Shay, if you
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: want to see it, let me know.
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: The next in Whiplash of quality, we're going to talk
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: about that's unfair. I haven't seen models versus were Wolves,
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: but we're going to talk about the trailer that dropped
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: for the Odyssey. Yeah, which makes the movie look like
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: they're trying to make it as epic as the story was.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it'll be interesting to see how well they
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: condensed certain elements of this story in order for it
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 2: to remain like a bearable cinematic experience right where it's
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 2: not like, you know, obviously it's not an eight hour
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 2: epic film. That would be ridiculous. We heard about people
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 2: buying tickets to see this like last year when they
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 2: went on sale and advanced sales for Imax theaters, So
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: this has been something that's been greatly in anticipated for
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: quite some time. Matt Damon stars as Odysseus, spider Man
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 2: is Telemachus's son. I, uh, what did you think of
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 2: the trailer?
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: So I liked it better than the teaser because the
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: teaser looked like it was all style and no substance, which, uh,
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know if he on Christopher Nolan to begin with, like,
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: I like his Batman's stuff, but some of his other
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: stuff is a little I guess inception was okay, but this,
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: this trailer made it seem like it had more substance
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: and also got let us see some of the more
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: fantastical things, which are like my favorite parts of the Odyssey.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: When there was one unfortunate moment where when they were
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: showing the people coming out of the trojan horse, the
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: first person to come out looked a little bit like
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: the horses, which made me inappropriately fifth grader laugh. Fair enough,
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: but it's an amazing cast. I'm sure they'll do great,
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: and I do like the story, it still didn't grab
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: me quite as much as I wanted it to.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I had some issues with it. I don't know
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: what I would have them sound like, but it is
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 2: jarring to me to hear people speak in a way
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 2: that seems very modern in something that is an ancient
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 2: Greek story, right, Like I think Telemachus uses the or
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: one of the characters uses the word dad instead of father,
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: and that just stuck out to me as I just
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 2: felt wrong. I don't necessarily think everyone should have English accents.
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 2: That would make no sense either. It's a Greek story,
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: but it just feels weird to hear like everyone speaking
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 2: in their normal Actually, I think Tom Holland probably speaks
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 2: in an American accent too. He's not doing his He's
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: not actually doing his English, his native English accent. I
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 2: liked Polyphemus aka the Cyclops. I thought the little bit
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 2: we saw of him looked very scary, which I think
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 2: is great for this film. I'm sure on the IMAX
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 2: it's going to be a truly effective and terrifying moment,
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 2: and that's good. That's what it should be. We don't
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 2: get to see very much of Odysseus being silvertungued, which
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 2: is what he's known as in the epic, like he's
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 2: able to talk his way out of just about anything.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 2: He's very charismatic and charming. We didn't really get to
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 2: see much of that in the trailer, but maybe the
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 2: reason for that is that the people who are cutting
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 2: the trailer wanted to really focus on action as opposed
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 2: to anything else. So I have my own misgivings about this.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 2: It has not sold me. I don't to be fair,
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 2: I've only seen maybe maybe half of Nolan's films in
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 2: the theater. The Batman Ones and Inception I certainly have
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 2: seen in the theater. I can't think if I've seen
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: any others of his in the theater. So I do
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: think out of all the directors out there, he's one
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 2: of the small group who truly knows what it means
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 2: to make something cinematic. Yes, for sure, like he knows
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 2: how to do that. But this just hasn't been And
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 2: maybe the reason it hasn't grabbed me is because I've
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: only seen the trailers on small screens. Like maybe if
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: I was at a movie theater, particularly in Imax theater,
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: and I saw this, I'd be like, Wow, this I
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 2: have to see, so I don't want to put too
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 2: much blame on anyone here for the fact that it
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: hasn't grabbed me either.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: Oh, I mean, I can't get the accent thing. I
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: have similar issues with Bridgerton, with both costume styles and
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: then language used in making it feel like it's appropriate
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: to the setting, which I understand is purposeful, but it
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: took me a while to get over. If I see
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: it as a trailer when I go to see Mortal Kombat,
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: I will let you know how I feel.
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 2: Excellent. Yeah, maybe your phrase to me will be get
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 2: over here. The Honesty comes out July seventeenth, But you
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 2: can't get tickets because they all sold out last year.
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 2: I don't know that for a fact. I just thought
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 2: it was funny to say.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: Sure. Oh, and if you want me to start every
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: every episode of our podcast with goo over here, I
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: can do it.
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 2: You know, just see where the mood takes you. We
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 2: got a full trailer for The Burrows. We talked about
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 2: this a couple of weeks ago. This is the Stranger
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 2: Things Meets, a senior center living community series that's coming
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 2: out on Netflix. Also produced by the Duffer Brothers who
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 2: brought us Stranger Things, and this trailer gives us more
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 2: of a feel for some of the characters, which includes
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 2: Dennis O'Hare's Agent of Chaos, which I love. I really
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 2: like this trailer despite myself. I didn't want to like
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 2: this trailer because it feels so similar to Stranger Things
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 2: in so many ways, but I still really liked it.
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: I agree, and that's I was like, should I put
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: this in? Did I put you put this one here?
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: Did I put this one in?
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 2: I put it in here?
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: Okay, I almost did. I know we talked about the teaser,
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: but I do feel like the trailer gives us more
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: of a feel. It does look a little darker than
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: I initially thought from the teaser, Like it's given me
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: mystery without solving the mystery. So like, I don't know
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: if the people running the facility are actually the aliens.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they get some sort of fountain
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: of youth from the aliens or can revive from the aliens.
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: There's a whole bunch of questions brought up, and I'm
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: very but also like a lot of really good comedy
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: in the trailer, and I'm very much looking forward to
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: the show. Yeah, I Kttie can't wait.
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, you nailed everything. Yeah, because there's definitely
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 2: a conspiracy element to it, right. There's parts where characters
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 2: are talking about how some other group of folks are
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 2: keeping things a secret from everyone, and there's lots of
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 2: like people making sly comments that seem to indicate they
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 2: know more about what's going on than they're letting on
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. Yeah, I I mean, honestly, this
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 2: this is actually appealing to me more than Stranger Things,
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 2: despite the fact that I love the nineteen eighties as
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 2: a setting and those kids were very much the same
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 2: kind of kids that I was back in the eighties.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 2: I only watched that first season and never felt compelled
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 2: to continue, whereas I kind of want to. Maybe it's
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 2: also because I'm I'm nearing retirement age myself that I
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 2: need to worry.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna say anything.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 2: No, you wouldn't need to. Every other co host I've
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 2: ever had would took great joy in pointing out how
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 2: old I am.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: You're still young, Jonathan.
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 2: And also ghost in a couple of weeks.
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: Here's like, those kids were great acts. There are great actors, Yeah,
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: but there is a difference between adult comedy and kid
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: comedy or even teenager comedy. And like the actor who
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: are in the Boroughs have such an established history in
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: both drama and comedy that I feel like, at least
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: in the trailer, they are really hitting like the perfect
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: tone tone.
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I And also it's interesting to me, I mean,
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 2: this could be a whole conversation on its own, that
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 2: you have similarities between kids and seniors in that when
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 2: you're a kid, no adult is really taking you seriously,
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 2: and when you're a senior you often in many cases,
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 2: seniors feel like they are being pushed to the side
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 2: because they are inconvenient to the lives of their adult children.
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 2: So it's interesting because there are other parallels besides the
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 2: fact that this tone feels kind of similar.
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: I need to go back and watch so I know,
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: like way back when Stranger Things was talking about the
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: brothers talking about we have a we have a new
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: series kind of a spiritual sister thing, that this might
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: have been it that nobody would have guessed. But I
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: really want to go back. I didn't pay attention to
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: any of the character names. What if they were all
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: the kids from the eighties retired. I'm sure people would
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: that would have blown up if that was the actual case.
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Also, they'd be retiring a little early, like they
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 2: would need to be kids in the seventies to relate. Well,
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 2: moving on, we now have a teaser, perfectly straightforward and
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 2: understandable teaser for jack Box Party Pack twelve, which Ariel
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 2: decided to put into our lineup.
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it'll just be two seconds. I like jack Box games.
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: I own all of almost all of them. I don't
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: have their After Dark and I don't have their standalone
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: Trivia Trivia Murder Party Party three, but I've got all
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 1: the Jackbox packs A Party packs, and I was so
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: excited when I saw the trailer for this one. It's
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: a long trailer. Oh great, there's a new one. I
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: loved the last one so much, mainly for the D
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: and D Trivia cooperative game. It's brilliant, Jonathan, if you
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: haven't played it, I'll have to play it with you
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: at some point.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah. We've played other Jackbox games with in group settings,
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 2: but we haven't played that one together. But they're always
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 2: so much fun to play.
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah that I was so excited to see what was
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: coming up next, because usually they give you little snippets
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: of the games, and no, this one is just weird.
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 1: It's like they smush different eras into boxes via.
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 2: Like a hydraulic press.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: Thank you, But it also feels like those eras are
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: tied to each party pack and then they all go
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: into this into the Jack box head whose name I
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: can't remember. Maybe it's Jack and that's it. That is it.
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: It's so weird. I just I couldn't help myself but
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: put it in there.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah. One element of this trailer genuinely made me angry,
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 2: which was in a weird way, the part where they
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 2: squished a rotisserie chicken. And the only it made me
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 2: mad is I thought a chicken died. A chicken had
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 2: to die, and instead of like actually eating the chicken
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 2: and not letting it go to waste, you literally squished
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 2: it into oblivion. An animal died to make that commercial.
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, I agree. They also had I think some
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: Vienna sausages in the jello.
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 2: Mold, so yeah, so that too, Yeah, right, Like I
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 2: eat chicken. So I'm not saying this as like a vegetarian.
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 2: I'm not a vegetarian, but like I eat that chicken.
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't let the chicken go to waste
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 2: and to see a fully perfectly formed rotisserie chicken get
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 2: squished made me mad because I thought some poor chicken,
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 2: it's life led up to that moment. And I guess
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 2: you could argue, yeah, but doesn't that mean that chicken
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 2: kind of got famous? And I guess.
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, like, I've seen chickens use as prompted and
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: not props and not fully eaten before, and it happens.
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: Maybe someday we'll have lab grown, not real chickens that
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 1: can be used as promis instead.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know, it just maybe it's because the Alves video.
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 2: Maybe that just set my brain into like animal rights mode.
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 2: But despite all that, despite that, like one reaction otherwise,
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 2: I thought this was a very creative and yet completely
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 2: uninformative teaser.
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: Completely unnecessary. We also got a final trailer for Minions
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: and Monsters, the one Minion movie I might actually watch.
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so basic. We get a little bit more of
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 2: the premise here, where the minions are our performers in
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 2: the golden age of cinema, you know, in the old
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 2: black and white era, and one of the minions it's
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 2: a oh see what name is it is? James? Yeah,
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 2: James one of the Minions. James is apparently a genius
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 2: when it comes to coming up with movie concepts, and
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 2: is the one that comes up with the monsters and
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 2: Minions idea. The Minions summon a little Cuthulhu like character
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 2: who then says he will help them gather up all
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 2: the other monsters to be in their movie, before ultimately
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 2: betraying them and actually trying to use the monsters to
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 2: take over the world, as is his wont And so
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 2: then it's like the Minions trying to stop all these
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 2: monsters that they unleashed in an effort to make a
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 2: movie standards off. There's some interesting celebrity voice actors in
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 2: this one. Did you look at the list?
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: I did, mainly because I was still trying to figure
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 1: out who voices Goomy, the tiny Cuthulhu on the IMDb.
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: None of them are exception of Pierre Coffin, who does
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 1: the Minion's voice, none of them are actually attached to
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: any characters.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Christoph Waltz is apparently the movie director and Jeff
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 2: Bridges is apparently the studio head. Those are the only
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 2: two names where I know what they're playing.
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 1: Trey Parker is Goomy.
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 2: Hmm, yeah, yeah, and there's other actors you were saying,
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 2: Zoe Deutsch and others.
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 1: Alison Jenny, Jesse Eisenberg, Phil Lamar, Bobby moynihan, great cast.
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 1: And that is the end of what we have to
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: talk about. And we're going to wrap up partially because
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: we have just at the end hit a giant lag.
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 1: So Jonathan, how are people going to reach you?
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 2: Well, if you go out on July first, you won't
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 2: find me because that's when Minions and Monsters comes out,
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 2: and we forgot to say that part, and you won't
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 2: find me because I'll be hiding since I'm a monster
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 2: and I don't want to get minioned. But otherwise, if
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 2: you want to get in touch with me, what you
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 2: will need to do is you will need to take
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 2: a candle that has three wicks. Light that candle and
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 2: let it burn for a half an hour, and then
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 2: blow those wicks out as hard as you possibly can,
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 2: splattering wax all over whatever is directly in front of you,
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 2: and you will see spelled out in the wax a
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 2: message from me saying, what's your question? Speak it into
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 2: the ether, Light the candle, wait thirty seconds, blow it
