That's it. I hit record.
0:01
We just had to wait a second for.
0:03
It OK, I was waiting for you to say something.
0:05
Really. Funny, I thought oh I've got
0:06
nothing, the intro was still going to play automatically, but
0:09
I guess. I don't like that anymore.
0:11
I did fix that. I think it's the intro.
0:13
I didn't fix it fix it. I just minused it from this one.
0:17
I'll. Fix it.
0:18
That's funny. So yeah, if you if you saw last
0:21
week's Oh no yeah, I might have cut it all out.
0:24
I don't know if you'll even know that it happened, but the the
0:26
wrong intro played last week. Yeah, automatically on Stream
0:28
Yard. But then also when I edit the
0:31
podcast, I don't use the Stream Yard version.
0:33
I download the original recordings.
0:35
And so it's basically just sitting there going during the
0:40
intro because at first I was like, what is happening?
0:43
And then and then I realized, Oh yeah, the intro video is.
0:46
Playing, we're just all, we're all like for a good minute,
0:50
yeah. Yeah, I was like, the fuck is
0:51
this? That was fantastic.
0:55
Welcome to Multiple Nerdgasm with your hosts Matt, Luke and
1:02
Dan Multiple Nerd Jasmine, your guide to all things nerdy.
1:14
At least got to put that off on Patreon if it's that starting
1:17
the episode. Oh.
1:18
Yeah, I could do that, actually, Yeah.
1:22
So how was everybody's Christmas?
1:24
I went and saw lots of movies. Oh, that's good, I did.
1:28
Did you put it in a spreadsheet? About that, yeah.
1:31
The ones on the spreadsheet, OK. Sort of doesn't use
1:35
spreadsheets. That's work.
1:37
Yes, I use spreadsheets for work.
1:40
I read them. I don't put stuff in them.
1:42
I should, I'll put my stuff in. One is sort of 1 here as related
1:46
to Avatar. Oh yeah, I saw fire and Ash.
1:50
So is this the third one I lost count?
1:53
Yeah, OK, right. I didn't see the second one
1:55
because the first one was garbage.
1:57
It's exactly the same movie as the second one, right?
2:01
They've just add if they added one thing into the second movie,
2:05
you don't need this three hour movie.
2:07
Another number, the number one. If they added the number one
2:11
into the second one, it would be the third one.
2:13
OK. Yeah, like it's the whole movie
2:15
is just just feels like the second one, just with a few
2:18
added. I would like to watch these is
2:22
are they as long as the first one?
2:23
Are they very long? This one was 3 hours and 14
2:26
minutes. Fucking hell, Jimmy and Jimmy
2:30
Camo, what are you doing the. Other thing is what mate what
2:34
what I liked about the first one was not the movie was how
2:37
beautiful looked in 3D the. Experience of watching Avatar
2:41
the first time was phenomenal. They're just throwing that out
2:45
the window now. There's, there's none of that
2:48
like sting stuff floating in front of you that looks really
2:51
nice. It's just.
2:52
As in they don't do it or you're bored of it.
2:55
They don't do it right. Did you see it?
2:57
Three, a certain 3D. Yeah, because they're on the
3:00
ocean. There's none of the forest
3:02
floating around, right? Water just splashing in your
3:05
eyes. But, you know, yeah, just.
3:08
But yeah, it's just honestly, they had, if they had one scene
3:11
into the second one, they don't need this movie at all.
3:14
Was the second movie as beautiful as the first movie?
3:19
Because I'll give you that. It was fucking beautiful, I'll
3:21
give you that. It's different still, still very
3:23
nice, OK. Yeah, that's all I'll give it
3:27
though. That's all I had going for it.
3:29
Yeah, I think it was an experience.
3:30
It was visually like stunning the 3D.
3:32
We'd never seen 3D done like that before.
3:34
We have now or. But yeah, and I'd.
3:36
Actually, well, I'll be honest, that much I haven't seen 3D done
3:39
like that since then either. Yeah.
3:41
I know it was a big 3D push for a little while, but it was
3:44
basically just forcing 3D into movies.
3:46
Please come back to cinemas. The first time I saw an IMAX and
3:49
I remember, I just remember that opening sequence where the, you
3:51
know, the going through space and then like Sully's like
3:54
waking up and coming out of the thing and you're in like the you
3:56
know, the what do you call the Dyson sphere or whatever it is?
3:58
Dyson sphere, Yeah, and or whatever it is and you.
4:01
Know the Miles Bennett Dyson sphere?
4:02
The Miles Bennett Dyson sphere and just the 3D of it and the
4:08
stuff floating around and just thinking like oh fuck, this is
4:11
amazing. And then, and then it was a
4:15
reasonably good science fiction movie after that.
4:17
That I've not really. Watched weeks.
4:18
Good. Well, I felt like.
4:20
Borderline shit mate, come on Christ.
4:24
At the time, I thought it was all right.
4:26
It's been a while. I was actually.
4:27
I remember thinking that I'm watching a guy riding a dinosaur
4:30
fighting a guy in a mech with a knife and I'm not enjoying it so
4:36
and I'm like so something is wrong.
4:38
Yeah, yeah. So yeah, that that was one movie
4:42
I watched. But then what's strange?
4:43
Kevin said now he held a press conference.
4:46
I can see. He no, no, no, he just that he
4:48
will. I think this is an offhand kind
4:50
of joke, but it just, it's just quite funny that he basically,
4:54
depending on how this one does, will determine if he's making
4:58
more. Because apparently four and five
5:00
have to be made together for some for reasons, whether
5:05
budgetary or just him being him. He's got to make four and five
5:10
together. And Disney's got to decide
5:12
whether they're going to allow that to happen, right?
5:14
Because it's going to cost a lot of money.
5:16
And so the performance of this film will determine whether that
5:20
happens. And what he said was, if I can't
5:22
make them, I'll hold a press conference and I'll just tell
5:25
you all what was going to happen.
5:26
What was going to happen? Amazing.
5:29
I thought that was just very funny.
5:31
This one's doing OK, apparently. OK, I've.
5:36
The box office. I can't really tell from going
5:38
from to the movies in Australia, or at least in Canberra, because
5:43
99% when I go there's me and three other people if I'm lucky.
5:47
Yeah, right. So I mean, I'm sure there's a
5:49
number of like, you know, like what do you call it box, a box
5:53
office number that that will determine whether he gets to
5:55
make more of them and. Then yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
5:58
And in fact, they've probably determined it.
5:59
It's probably a first weekend box office number.
6:01
They probably know if they're going to do it or not.
6:03
Yeah. Yeah, you need to make this much
6:05
money or you're done. 100%, yeah, yeah.
6:08
So that was one movie I watched and I also did get to see The
6:12
Avengers, Doom Day, Doomsday. I watched this year the.
6:16
Oh is it online now? I still have the.
6:18
Rogers One. It is.
6:20
I mean, there's not a lot to see, OK?
6:21
You've seen, you've seen Chris Evans before and you've seen a
6:24
baby before. It's got those two things in it.
6:27
Oh, but I haven't seen Chris Evans as a baby.
6:29
Is that what I say? It's not that.
6:31
It's not that it's not. That unless he's holding his
6:33
clone. I'll say this though, Chris
6:36
Evans to me is only a movie star because of and involved with
6:43
Marvel. I I just don't, I just don't buy
6:46
him in other things. The.
6:47
First thing I saw him in was not another teen movie, which is
6:50
fucking incredible. Yeah, OK, sure.
6:53
And he's also in, he's in Scott Scott Pilgrim, which is a great
6:57
movie too. Like he's in, he's in good
6:59
things. Right.
7:00
He's in sunshine. Danny Boyle's Sunshine.
7:02
I don't remember him from that and what that, and that's kind
7:04
of what I mean. Like, he's very, very good at
7:07
being Steve Rogers. That was the idea with hiring a
7:11
lot of these actors at where they were in their careers.
7:14
Like they were good, but they weren't quite stars.
7:16
Yeah, it is. Just them so we can pay him
7:18
nothing because you have to pay a fortune to Robert Downey
7:21
Junior and so yeah, we. Would have been a bit cheap at
7:26
the start, I think at the. Start.
7:27
He would have been, yeah, but at the start after Iron Man, but I
7:30
think. At the end he was bringing in
7:31
like 140, a movie or something ridiculous.
7:34
Yeah, it was something ridiculous.
7:35
And that's why I'll say this though.
7:37
Give him the fucking money. Like after I saw Iron Man, I was
7:39
like, right, whatever you got to do, get him back.
7:42
This is I would like to see more of this but now I'm like OK.
7:46
Yeah, probably too much now. Yeah, yeah.
7:49
Iron Man three. I think there's only the six or
7:51
seven of us that like that movie, but.
7:54
But the the trailer is just it's you see someone riding a bike
7:56
and then you see Steve Rogers hold the baby, and then it says.
8:00
Oh, Steve is holding the baby OK.
8:02
OK, yeah. And then it pops up and it gets
8:04
says Steve Rogers will return in a ventures day because.
8:07
And then really small as it says, because you guys weren't
8:10
watching these and we really. Wanted to watch because this is
8:12
how we've put it back. This is literally the last time
8:13
we're going to try this. We have spent a lot of money.
8:16
Yeah, and we if you don't like this, we don't know what you
8:17
like exactly. Yeah, so.
8:23
Well, no, I think it was the whole case with the whole Marvel
8:25
Universe was they basically got to a point where everyone got
8:29
built up to an ending, it ended, and then they kept going.
8:33
The last one even had the word end.
8:35
In the name, they just they just can't figure out what is it that
8:38
people liked about these and why don't they like them anymore and
8:42
the. Continuity was what we liked,
8:44
and you finished the story. We wrapped it up and everyone's
8:47
over it now. But yeah.
8:50
Because the whole idea that felt like it was like every other
8:52
movie was we're retiring and this is their replacement.
8:54
We're retiring. This is a replacement, which is
8:56
not what we want I think. No, that's the opposite of
8:59
continuity A. Few times is what they should
9:02
have done. Was end game stopped, waited a
9:05
couple of years, reboot with another storyline and just go
9:09
again. Yeah.
9:10
Yeah, I have Spider. Characters that don't have the
9:14
same people just complete reboot.
9:16
Just remakes. They love remakes, yeah.
9:19
Redo. I mean, if you have to do it
9:20
like the soft reboot where you you just wait a couple of years
9:22
and then you have fucking. Captain America, the First
9:25
Avenger and and Thor again. Yeah, but I mean, if you have to
9:30
have Robert Downey Junior as an old man coming in and go on,
9:33
you're the next one. OK, fine.
9:34
But then get him out of there. Yeah, well, yeah, this raises a
9:42
lot of questions that I don't actually care about because it's
9:44
stupid. But Steve Rogers showed up as an
9:47
old man and said I stopped being Captain America.
9:51
So does he. He's lying.
9:52
Will he? But the whole thing you got to
9:54
remember is but he's. Not an old man in this anymore,
9:56
right? No.
9:58
Okay, this might be said before then this might be a prequel.
10:00
Yeah, but then he lied about how he was like.
10:02
I retired and I settled down. Yes, and I never did except.
10:06
For that time, I I did fight Doctor Doom.
10:09
Who's Doctor Doom? Yeah, don't.
10:10
Worry about it. I'll tell you know Stark, Yeah.
10:13
Looks like him. Looks like him a lot, yeah.
10:17
No, I honestly. Do you remember?
10:18
Do you remember? You remember Kang?
10:19
No. Yeah.
10:20
Neither do we. So don't even talk about.
10:23
It no, it's all going to be multi version later.
10:25
That's how you get in the Fantastic Four to come across
10:28
and stuff like that. Yeah.
10:29
Do you want to see the Fantastic Four movie?
10:30
I haven't seen that yet. Fantastic Four was good.
10:32
It's on Disney Plus. And in fact, I've not even seen
10:35
season 2 of Loki, which I really liked season 1, so I should go
10:38
back and watch. I have not.
10:39
I literally I just went. I've got to stop.
10:44
I'll be honest, I've got a bit of, I've got a bit of fatigue
10:47
even. Sorry, we're talking over each
10:49
other. Sorry listeners.
10:52
Sorry Luke but no the the second season lucky is good, you should
10:56
watch it. It's not as strong as the first
10:58
one, but the ending does tie everything up.
11:01
Does it still have wow is? That guy's name?
11:06
Owen Wilson. Owen Wilson.
11:07
Does it still have Owen Wilson in it?
11:08
Actually, does he still have the mustache?
11:10
Yes. OK, because that for me was that
11:13
and the alligator were the highlights of.
11:14
Season 1 if Steve. So if they brought back Chris
11:16
Evans with a mustache, you'd be interested?
11:19
I'd be much more likely, yeah. Yeah.
11:21
With the beard he had in end game, I was all I was all in.
11:24
Oh. Yeah, that's true.
11:25
Yeah, he did look good. I must admit, and Matt, you can
11:30
tell me that I'm stupid if you'd like, but I am.
11:33
I'm even a bit fatigued about Stranger Things.
11:36
I've, I popped it on the first two episodes and I'm like, oh,
11:41
I've seen a lot of this now. Are we still going?
11:44
So I'm watching it. I've watched up to I've got 1
11:48
episode left in the current lot. So they released about this
11:51
release schedule. I mean, I know we've talked
11:52
about this, but like, what are they doing?
11:54
Why are they doing this? Like what?
11:56
Christmas Day, A New Year's Day. Yeah, well, not for us.
12:00
Boxing Day for us and in the day after New Year's for us.
12:03
Yeah, fair enough. But it's just like, what do you,
12:05
what is this? You expect people to cancel
12:07
their fucking Christmas and New Year's plans to watch this show?
12:09
Like, what do you think? How important do you think you
12:11
are? It's just so weird to me.
12:13
Like, what is the I wasn't thinking behind this.
12:15
It's really strange. But I've got one well left and
12:20
I'm enjoying it. But yeah, the other thing that
12:22
we did was we watched a recap and forgive me if I've already
12:25
said this, but we watched a recap of everything beforehand.
12:28
And having done that and watching this, it's it is
12:31
obvious that this stuff wasn't the case right back in season 1
12:38
and two kind of thing. Yeah, you know what I mean.
12:39
Exactly. And I had I, I watched the recap
12:41
too, and I yeah, I really do find we've we've come full
12:45
circle. I mean, they left the door open
12:46
a little, but like, come on. Also it's.
12:49
Not bad or anything, it's just like.
12:50
No, it's not bad. I've just.
12:51
You never mentioned that back, right, two years ago or three or
12:55
it was now 10 years ago now. I also feel there's a lot of
12:59
characters with their own fucking backstories now, and it
13:02
used to be about the kids doing their thing and now there's just
13:06
this huge group. Everyone's got their thing.
13:08
Maya Hawks become disproportionately famous
13:10
compared to everyone else, so. They've just written.
13:13
Written her in. Like just really written her in.
13:16
But no, it's just I don't know. I think it's I haven't even
13:19
started watching it, but I think it's just because it's been so
13:22
long. I think it's had of come out
13:25
when originally planned. I probably would have been a lot
13:27
more interested instead of having to go and watch a recap
13:30
to remember. Something else.
13:32
There's a bit where I won't, no one spoil anything, but there's
13:35
a date that comes up that's important and then it's like the
13:39
OK. Yeah, an.
13:42
Anniversary of something and I was like is is he only supposed
13:46
to have been one year because they are old?
13:51
They're very old. Yeah.
13:53
These children. Some of these children have
13:55
their own children in real life now.
13:58
Like, that was a weird, like, Oh yeah.
14:02
Because yeah, that's a weird thing.
14:04
But I mean, they can't help that.
14:05
It's just. I thought that was very funny.
14:06
They they. Oh yeah.
14:07
It's been one year since. It's been one year since Will
14:10
was a fucking baby. Yeah.
14:12
Talking about yeah, yeah. He had a growth.
14:15
Spurt and yet they do act like they're they're much older even.
14:22
The behaviour is different because of course they're more
14:24
mature people. And if they make sense, it would
14:27
look ridiculous if they were still.
14:28
Mummy Beckman's got me. Help me Mummy.
14:31
He was like, Will's this fucking 20 year old guy.
14:35
Yeah, I mean, he's still got the same haircut.
14:37
He's still got that bold cut. He does have the heck out.
14:38
They make a joke about it actually.
14:40
Do they excellent? Yeah.
14:42
And then there's also the discussion about how now, what
14:48
do you mean, but how Will's acting is not at the same level
14:53
as the others. I see the actor Noah, whatever
14:56
it is, and to the point where I've read stuff online and I'm
14:59
like, that's fucking mean. But.
15:02
But because he's been doing, he's not been in anything else.
15:06
And all the others have done a lot of other things and, and
15:11
once it was pointed out, I'm watching it and I'm like, yeah,
15:14
he's not great. Well, if you recall, in Season
15:18
1, all he had to do was look scared.
15:20
He didn't have any lines. Because yeah, like 2 years old
15:24
or whatever. Yeah, that's what I mean.
15:25
He was just this little kid who just had to look scared and now
15:27
they're stuck with him and they've, they've hired, you
15:30
know, fucking Sadie's sink and all these other good child
15:33
actors. Good since then, yeah, she's
15:35
she's very good. That's why I mean, you put them
15:37
in scenes together and it's just very apparent that it's just,
15:39
there's like a, you know, anyway, but with people being
15:42
really mean because he's given interviews about how he's all,
15:44
you know, I'm really excited about what comes next, SO1
15:48
replied and said like, what's next is 50 years of conventions
15:51
for you, mate. Signings of conventions is what
15:56
you'll be doing. Wow.
15:58
That means wow, Yeah, that's mean.
16:01
Power to it if he's. If he's smart, get behind the
16:03
other. I've not seen Anthony Daniels in
16:05
anything else so. And he's a good actor.
16:09
He's not talking about doing anything else.
16:10
No, he knows. He knows.
16:12
He just knew he didn't need to. Yeah, fucking retired.
16:15
I mean, he, this guy doesn't either.
16:17
None of them. They're all set up for life.
16:19
It's just, yeah, sad. Are they though?
16:22
Well, they could be if they play their cards.
16:24
Right, they're smart. Well, I I don't know if they
16:28
wouldn't have got paid a lot for the first couple of seasons.
16:32
I. Remember, I don't think they're
16:33
sitting on. I mean, they're five seasons in,
16:35
they've got of negotiate, especially the ones who have
16:38
gone on to do bigger things like.
16:39
Fucking Millie Bobby Brown does not have to work another day in
16:42
her life if she doesn't. Want to yeah, no, she's done
16:44
tons though, but. Will that Finn Wolfhark guy?
16:47
He's doing tons, all sorts of stuff.
16:49
Yeah. But but yeah, it's the other
16:50
stuff. If this is all they're relying
16:52
on, which is what? Yeah, sounds like he's going to
16:54
be relying on me. I wonder if that goes to be
16:56
funny for him, too, where they're all like, yeah, and
16:58
they're all like, yeah, we all have money.
16:59
And he's like, oh, my money turned out like, shut up, mate.
17:01
Yeah, go stand in the corner. Yeah, we're going to pay you by
17:06
the lines and you haven't got a many lines in this season.
17:09
So just he. Does this season?
17:11
Oh, does he he? Does because he's like a loose
17:14
end. Yes, right, right.
17:15
That's. What people are saying, it's
17:16
like so sad. Well, he was the Mac Guffins of
17:19
Season 1. You know, he didn't even have a
17:21
character. He never really.
17:22
It's just the. Boy who went missing or
17:23
whatever, Yeah. Yeah, anyway.
17:26
OK, what else did you see, Luke? Yeah.
17:29
The other thing I saw which I saw yesterday was it.
17:33
Yes, I saw Anaconda. Oh, OK, OK.
17:39
Now, I haven't seen a favorite for that, but I've seen a lot of
17:42
buses with posters on the side. I've seen clips yeah from it and
17:48
it looks ridiculous. It is ridiculous, but it made me
17:52
want to make movies with you guys again.
17:54
And that's you've. Seen a big snake?
17:56
Reminded you of me. No, the whole idea, the whole
17:59
premise of it is, is these guys in their 40s have all gone their
18:04
separate ways. They come back for a birthday
18:07
party, they show video of what they made when they were kids,
18:11
and then they're like, let's go remake Anaconda.
18:15
Oh what I know. OK, I am much more likely to
18:19
watch this now. And that was the whole idea of
18:22
the movie. And then they do run into a real
18:24
stake and the whole idea proves the movies.
18:27
Was these guys going and just remaking Anaconda as?
18:32
Interesting. Stuff that they used to make as
18:34
when they were kids. OK, I mean, that's cool.
18:37
I like when because this is a remake of Anaconda technically
18:41
like on paper. So I like that it's completely.
18:45
Yeah. Different direction.
18:47
Yeah, and that just made me think of like when we used to
18:50
make stuff, how cool it would be if we went off and went, yeah,
18:53
let's take three I've. Often thought about making those
18:56
things again yeah and setting the proviso that we're not
19:00
allowed to make it better it has to be like if we didn't do it
19:04
then we can't do it now it can look better but you're not
19:06
allowed to give more back story or anything the.
19:08
Back story, the one I really think we should make is what was
19:12
it, the city? Vacuum.
19:15
The vacuum, that's the one I really.
19:17
Think train overpass. Yeah, that's the one.
19:19
I'm not in that one. What a location.
19:21
Fuck you, Luke, I'm not in that. But you can be can't.
19:27
Change anything. We said you can't make it
19:31
better. Yeah, yeah.
19:33
So I'm out. Yeah.
19:34
So you. Can just come along that you're
19:37
the will of this group, if you know what I mean.
19:41
Thanks, Danny. Actually, the will of that movie
19:44
was someone who couldn't stay still for five seconds while he
19:46
tried to film it because he died like Jason.
19:51
Yeah. Oh that's true and in the end I
19:54
used a steel frame, 1 frame and just a slight pan out to make it
19:58
look like he was dead. Lie on the ground, that's true.
20:02
Not move. And he just kept playing with
20:05
grass. I mean, I'm not surprised.
20:11
And I've said odd Dick. It's a nice way to say it, isn't
20:13
it? An odd duck.
20:15
Yes. Yeah, and I think Dave murdered
20:17
him. Yep, and then also in the movie
20:22
his character murdered his character.
20:25
And then we become instant friends.
20:27
We walk off together. That's right.
20:32
And had the multiple endings. Did it like clue?
20:37
It did have multiple endings. Yeah, that's.
20:39
True, it's off ending the. Remaining clue is excellent.
20:41
And I've got to rewatch Clue. Yeah, well, I think they keep
20:45
talking about remaking Clue, so we'll see how that is.
20:47
But Clue is a. Master, nice out.
20:49
Speaking of Clue, I've got to watch.
20:50
That. It's out.
20:51
I don't watch. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
20:53
I'll have a look at it. The second one's pretty good.
20:55
Yeah, the second one's, no, I, I it's not because I don't want
20:58
to. I didn't mind the first one and
20:59
I think we should try and keep right away from Star Wars.
21:04
And I still forgot so I can excuse you for.
21:08
I think the reason I think we can all agree though, the reason
21:11
he had to make three of these, or at least three, was because
21:14
now he can be like, I've got my fucking trilogy more than a Star
21:17
Wars trilogy, but it was a trilogy.
21:19
Yeah, when I said it was a Star Wars trilogy, you thought was
21:21
actually going to be a Star Wars movie, but it's not.
21:23
It's just. Yeah.
21:23
No, no, no, no. What I was saying was Star Wars
21:27
than trilogy. Trilogy.
21:29
That's what I meant the whole time.
21:30
If you're going to watch any Rian Johnson movie, go and watch
21:32
Brick. Brick is excellent.
21:36
Just don't watch. Don't watch.
21:39
Last today, don't watch Brothers Macmillan or whatever that one
21:42
was that came out, Brothers Bloom, whatever.
21:45
Just don't, don't watch any of that.
21:47
Definitely don't watch the one episode he directed of Breaking
21:50
Bad. The worst episode of that show
21:55
guys. When all he'd made is Brick.
21:57
I was like this guy. This is the guy Brick.
22:00
He's. Incredible.
22:02
From what I understand, yeah. Yeah, he seems like a really
22:04
nice guy. Yeah.
22:07
He's just, I just don't like his movies that much.
22:10
Yeah, he said. Brick Ryan, if you're listening,
22:13
I really did like Brick I. Haven't seen I, I I I still hate
22:18
you for what you did to Luke. He means so Mark Hamill.
22:22
And him because he had to watch you.
22:24
Yes. Yeah.
22:25
Do that to Luke. Now Luke refers to himself in
22:27
the third person. Like Donald Trump strangely now.
22:33
So that's Anaconda and. Foreign Ash, and then the last
22:37
movie I watched was Snatches. Snatches.
22:39
Yeah, I've heard. Yeah, I don't know.
22:41
I. Forgot to look it up I.
22:42
Don't I? Don't I?
22:42
When you said it. You just come.
22:44
In Oh, it's an Australian movie. Yes.
22:46
And it's got based off the book and I'm going, oh, after the
22:50
movie I want to read the book. And then I realized, no, it's
22:52
based off it's inspired by the 1888 book The Body Statues.
22:57
Oh, this isn't very. Loosely inspired.
23:00
This is an older movie. Yeah.
23:01
It's like. No, this is this year 202520251
23:09
and. Oh yeah, it's a different movie.
23:11
All I can say without ruining is basically two guys, they're
23:15
having money problems, they sneak a body out of the
23:18
hospital, they're going to cut her up to sell her organs and
23:21
she wakes up. And that's all I can really say
23:23
without ruining the movie. But.
23:25
But it's good. I found it great.
23:28
You're right, Matt. It's a 2019 film that comes up
23:31
when you then you can. Actually watch it right now for
23:33
free online. Plus I found out it's already on
23:37
streaming in Australia. I think they did a limited
23:40
cinema run or something right? OK.
23:44
OK, bookmarking this all right, This looks all right.
23:47
Written, directed and starring someone called Craig.
23:51
Craig Alexander. I'm gonna say Craig Anderson.
23:54
Craig Alexander. For for a second, when I was
23:56
sitting there, I was going hold on, Craig, he said that, that
23:59
Craig No, no, it's Alexander or not.
24:01
Yeah, I mean, this type of movie, it definitely could have
24:03
been. Really, when I was watching it,
24:05
I could have seen him doing this.
24:09
I'm trying to think of. I'll sort of scroll through and
24:11
see if I know anybody really interesting.
24:13
That's what I was just doing too.
24:14
Like do I know anybody who worked on this?
24:17
I'm going that's probably not A and I don't think it would have
24:20
cost a lot to make it looks like it's like a two locations
24:23
really. Yeah, it looks very nice, Like
24:25
there's stills it looks, yes. Well shot.
24:28
Well, no, that that's that's my big recommendation from.
24:31
What I There's only eight people listed in the cast.
24:33
Are they more people? It looks like a movie.
24:35
Or is it just very small? It's very small.
24:39
The look of it reminds me of The Autopsy of Jane Doe, which is a
24:42
fucking excellent movie. Oh.
24:43
That is a good movie. That was that was one of those
24:47
sleeper hits, Yeah. Basically, there's a scene in
24:50
when they're in the hospital where there's lots of people,
24:51
but then for the rest of the movie it's just three of them.
24:54
Yeah, right. OK.
24:57
I will be watching this. This looks right up my alley.
24:59
OK. Thank you.
25:00
That's that's and I'm actually recommending a movie and it
25:04
really made me read a book until I found out it was just.
25:07
You could still read body statues.
25:09
That's Robert Louis Stevenson, right?
25:11
Yes. Go on, fucking read it.
25:14
He's a great writer. I think I have read it, yeah,
25:16
like many years ago when I used to read like, but no, the story
25:20
that old the story was based on like if it was a bit closer, I
25:24
probably would have read the book.
25:27
Yeah. Right.
25:28
Yeah, that's very, very different, Very different from
25:31
the book, but definitely worth a watch.
25:36
I will. Did.
25:37
You see the trailer for the Odyssey before anything.
25:41
No. 2 Movies OK. It's online trailer for Toys
25:44
today. Oh.
25:45
Yeah. Yeah, we can definitely talk
25:48
about that, especially since my Christmas present this year was
25:54
this little golden book of, oh, look at that, Steven Spielberg.
25:59
That's very cool. This might be the first
26:01
Spielberg movie I've liked in a while.
26:05
We haven't seen it yet, but we'll see.
26:06
Yeah. I mean.
26:08
It looks fucking great. I'll I'll say I'm all in.
26:10
I am all in if this is what I think it is.
26:13
Yeah, well, it's sort of hard to work out what it is.
26:16
Is it aliens? Is it God?
26:17
Is it? Maybe it's a bit of both.
26:21
Yeah, I did not know this was coming.
26:24
I didn't. I was like, well, I did not know
26:25
Steven Spielberg was currently directing into the.
26:27
I thought the Fable woman was like his.
26:30
I thought he was like going, you know, piercing out after that
26:32
for some. Reason I disliked the Fablemans
26:34
so much that I ended up just skipping through and watching
26:38
only the sequences where he was making a movie because they were
26:42
very interesting. The movies he was making as a
26:44
kid were very interesting. Yeah, the stuff about like, oh
26:47
God, my mum's sexy, like all that and like could do without.
26:52
Everyone is this idiot. Yeah, and Ready Player 1.
26:58
That's. Not great, it's not.
26:59
Great. Well, the the thing that also I
27:01
know about really like. About it yeah.
27:02
Bits. Yeah, there, there was no.
27:05
Thing that really got me is he sort of lost touch with what's
27:10
what people are watching now. You've got this very science
27:13
fiction movie, but you don't have like a big credit sequence
27:17
or anything that's sort of thrown in there because that's
27:20
not what he does. That's not that's not I.
27:22
Don't care about that. No, but that just appeared very
27:25
good that and that just made me feel that he's lost touch with
27:28
what the audience look at. That.
27:31
What can even Schindler's List is in here.
27:33
Fucking hell, that's a movie. Fucking hell.
27:36
I watched Jurassic Park about two weeks ago because.
27:40
Did you say Jurassic? Park.
27:41
Jurassic Park. Yeah.
27:44
I don't know why. I don't know why I said it like
27:46
that, but that's a great fucking movie.
27:53
That's all I'm gonna say about yeah.
27:54
Jurassic Park? Yeah, absolutely.
27:57
I don't know, there's movies I like, like Jurassic Park, and
27:59
then there's other movies I think are horrible, like close
28:02
Encounters. No close encounters.
28:04
Great. Some of the Indiana Joneses.
28:07
Well, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Up to sorry.
28:10
See, I don't even think about it.
28:11
Yes, the the yeah, the three Indiana Jones movies that he
28:14
made. Back in the Haiti's.
28:16
Oh, 70s and 80s, yeah, and. 80s are very yeah no, no, no.
28:20
First one is 1980 and the last one I think is 19910.
28:22
Yeah, you're right. Yeah, you're right. 80s and 90s,
28:27
yeah. Spielberg's fucking the bomb.
28:29
And I like, I love watching, trying to think of, you know,
28:31
obviously tons of video essays on YouTube about his film making
28:35
and stuff like that. And it's always so interesting
28:36
because he did used to do so many cool things that we take
28:39
for granted now too. And like, there's that one, just
28:42
there's one that's all about, it's actually mostly about
28:44
Raiders of the Lost Ark and just about the this is staging of
28:48
scenes and how information dense they are.
28:51
Like people are doing things that tells you things in the
28:54
back. And it's just like, yeah, it's
28:55
very, it's good. And then I I just stopped doing
28:59
that stuff. Yeah, I think.
29:00
You just sort of. Lost.
29:01
But then again, then there's just Munich and War of the
29:05
Worlds came out the same year. Oh yeah, what a year.
29:09
You know, Minority Report and Catch Me If You Can.
29:12
They came out the same year. Yeah.
29:16
Yeah, there's a 12 hour long. In the craft mall.
29:21
Maybe now he's kind. Of like, yeah, but don't forget
29:23
also there was as many misses as hits early on like he made.
29:28
I'm just gonna I'm gonna get the the timing right so I'm gonna
29:30
look here. So dual obviously 1971, then a
29:33
bunch of TV movies and Jaws in 75.
29:37
Close Encounters 77. The episode of Columbo.
29:40
Yeah, that was before then. 71, same year as dual, but then he
29:44
went and made 1941, which was an absolute flop.
29:47
Oh. Yeah.
29:50
Right. Then followed that up with
29:51
Raiders. Followed that up with ET.
29:52
Yep. Yep.
29:54
Then another Indiana Jones. Then he did a whole bunch of TV.
29:57
Then he did The Color Purple. That's right.
30:01
Yeah, The Empire of the Sun. Then another Jenna Jones, then a
30:04
movie called Always which I have seen and basically forgot, then
30:07
Hawk which I still think is really good but he fucking hates
30:10
it. I've read it's an article the
30:13
other day about how I was like, why did we said something about
30:15
why did we let kids watch Hawk? And I never read it because I
30:17
was like, I don't want to hear bad things about Hawk.
30:19
I yeah, I did read that. I saw that exact one too.
30:24
Yeah. Just that it's it's really grim.
30:26
It's it's it's actually really quite grim when you, when you
30:28
think about it as a kid. Yeah.
30:30
That's what movies in the 80s were.
30:32
They were just fucking dark adventures.
30:34
Yeah. Yeah.
30:35
It was the we were tough enough to watch those.
30:37
Yeah, like. That blurry episode.
30:39
Yeah, that's right. Your mums mean like seats were.
30:41
High mums were mean in the 80s. Yeah, at the time, mums could be
30:44
mean. She's whacking him with the
30:46
thong and blue. Yeah.
30:47
You're like, he's like, how's the 80s?
30:49
It's fine, yeah. That's so true.
30:52
I love that episode. I love it.
30:55
You mentioned the Odyssey very briefly, yes.
30:59
And I just want to say a couple of things about that.
31:00
Number one, yes, I'm all in. I'm.
31:03
All in, yeah. Looks great.
31:06
Actually. I thought Matt Damon was an odd
31:08
choice for Odysseus. Assuming he's an Odysseus, He
31:13
is, yeah. And he's in several Christopher
31:17
Nolan movies, but he's always a supporting role.
31:19
And I know he's been the lead in many, many films, but for some
31:22
reason him as the lead in a Christopher Nolan movie doesn't
31:25
seem right, but I trust Nolan. Was like a surprise appearance
31:28
in Interstellar at 1st and then and they hid that.
31:31
I don't know why they hid that, but anyway, whatever that was.
31:33
Just, oh man, that paid off for me when I was in the cinema.
31:37
And then he pulls off that helmet and it's Matt fucking
31:39
Damon. Yeah, that's fair.
31:42
Yeah, it's just. But it wasn't like, it's not
31:45
like he's a recurring character or anything.
31:47
He didn't have the no, he just had the.
31:48
Payoff of his no meaning. He was a celebrity that you're
31:50
familiar with. Yeah, that's right.
31:52
Yeah. It's just funny that they went
31:54
to the effort to hide it. Yeah, this looks great.
31:59
I mean, doesn't tell you a lot. I mean, we know what the story
32:02
is. It's the story of the Odyssey.
32:03
Yeah, it looks incredible. I.
32:06
Mean, yeah. And I wonder how this trailer
32:09
doesn't really give it away. I wonder how deep into the
32:12
mythology they're going to lean. Is there going to be magic?
32:15
At least a fair bit into it because I've read about.
32:19
All right, things that are filming great, like.
32:22
Creatures and whatnot. Yes, yeah, there's, there's a
32:24
bit of if, if those who don't know, there's some supernatural
32:27
stuff. Yeah, and apparently it's in
32:29
there. So basically there's context.
32:31
There's the Iliad, which comes first, which is about the Trojan
32:34
War, and then there's the Odyssey, which comes second,
32:36
which is about the voyage back. And I found out recently, you
32:42
know, the the Trojan horse, the big, big wooden horse and Greeks
32:45
bearing gifts. Not in the Iliad, not in the
32:49
Iliad stops before the end of the war and then the Odyssey
32:53
picks up on their way home. That fucking horse is only in
32:58
the Aeneid, one other book about the Trojan War.
33:01
Everyone just like combines them in their mind.
33:04
Sure. Yeah, because the story of Troy.
33:06
Totally different story. Thing I don't I don't think
33:08
people who would know what where it came from because I just
33:10
think we might. The rest the rest is history
33:12
where they're talking about is is there a Troy or was there a
33:15
Troy? And the answer is we actually
33:17
don't know. Yeah, maybe.
33:19
And maybe in some form, but definitely not in the way that
33:21
it says in the books. No, no, no.
33:23
Well, so that leaves a little bit to People are already
33:25
arguing about the Odyssey trailer because they're saying,
33:27
you know, it's not historically accurate.
33:30
Some of the stuff been a lot anachronistic or whatever, like
33:33
it's wouldn't have looked like that would have been like that.
33:35
And then but then other people are like you.
33:36
But the book isn't. The story is not it was.
33:39
And I think what a lot of people.
33:40
Rated things from his time in the story that he was telling
33:43
about the past. Yes, it's it's a myth even at
33:46
its time and I think people assume that it's set in ancient
33:50
Greece but it isn't. It was written in the Greek dark
33:53
ages before the classical period, and even when it was
33:56
written it was about the deep Mycenaean past like.
33:59
So it was, but it contained modern to them things that
34:03
didn't make sense then. So yeah.
34:05
Like if you read Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, you can't go,
34:09
well, that's not historically accurate to Julius Caesar.
34:11
It's like, no, but it is historically accurate to William
34:13
Shakespeare's. Times Caesar didn't talk like
34:14
that. Yeah.
34:17
Yeah. So it's kind of a pointless
34:19
debate in a way. Also it's not a documentary
34:22
mate, it's a movie. Yeah, yeah, it's not.
34:24
It's not historical text. I saw a great meme.
34:27
It was somebody put the tweet by someone who had made their own
34:29
sketches over it. He's like, this is what
34:31
Agamemnon looks like in the film.
34:33
This is what he should look like and somebody's written.
34:35
Well then, we're lucky that this is being made by Christopher
34:38
Nolan and not some geek on the Internet.
34:41
Because Agamemnon looks fucking sick.
34:42
Yeah, he. Looks fucking great and it's the
34:45
fucking hard ass dude from from the the Bomb movie.
34:52
The the bomb or Bond? Bomb the what's it called
34:56
Oppenheimer? Reminded me it's.
34:57
His mate. Bomb movie.
35:01
Got it, Got it. The bomb movie.
35:03
Yeah, now I'm with you. I'm too old to be able to
35:06
conjure names of things. I watch something, I'm going to
35:09
put it in there. Yeah, no, this looks fucking
35:14
great. And like I said, I don't care
35:16
about historical accuracy because it's not a true story.
35:18
It's not a documentary. It's it's, it's a movie.
35:20
It's entertainment. And if you had read this book.
35:23
Cyclops. To anyone in ancient Greece and
35:25
said, do you think this is true? They'd look at you and go, no
35:27
idiot, it's a fucking story. Yeah.
35:30
Also, do you think that this is real?
35:31
No, Graham, it's not. That's right.
35:34
Plato is just trying to teach us stuff and we don't want to hear
35:37
it. So he's gonna make.
35:38
Me irrelevant. He's trying to make it
35:40
interesting, yeah. Cool.
35:46
I mean, now that you've watched something.
35:48
Now that you've put this in there, I want to, I want to know
35:49
about Goldeneye. Yeah, I watched Goldeneye.
35:51
I've done some up to Pierce Brosnan.
35:53
I've got thoughts because it's been a long time since I watched
35:56
Goldeneye. I realized that when I put it
35:58
on. This movie is amazing.
36:02
Fucking excellent. It's fucking excellent.
36:04
Good, good. It is, however, so 90s, yeah.
36:08
I was like, it was like I was bathing in my teenage years and
36:12
all that. That first scene after the the
36:14
teaser sequence where they're where they're racing and there's
36:16
that bum. But yes, bum bum, bum music.
36:19
And it's like, what am I watching?
36:22
And and it's like it's the James Bond theme, but done No, and but
36:26
it's got that. Even the opening sequence has
36:28
that thing. This is just so 90s to me
36:31
because con air, I think sounds like this.
36:32
They all sound like this where it's like.
36:35
Yeah, yeah. Like hollow.
36:39
Yeah, yeah, Like, boom. Like weird industrial sounds and
36:42
stuff. And I'm just like, oh fuck yes,
36:44
yeah, this is good. And it's such a because the
36:47
Dalton ones are incredibly 80s. Right.
36:51
In, in in the same way. So I think I I might have said
36:56
before, because I do love the Connery ones.
36:59
I liked the Roger Moore ones more than I thought I was going
37:02
to because I always remember them being cheesy and stuff,
37:04
though they're good. And he's Roger Moore is fucking
37:07
pretty creepy as a womanizing borderline breakfast.
37:12
I'd say borderline, but the Dalton and the Brosnan ones are
37:19
pretty fucking good, I gotta say.
37:20
Right. Yeah.
37:22
So far anyway. Yeah.
37:22
Have you? Yeah.
37:23
Have you, Have you? Have you only gone up to
37:25
colonize? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've.
37:26
Got some news for you? Yeah, I think, Well, we'll see.
37:29
No, because maybe in context. No, not die another day.
37:32
Tomorrow never dies. I think he's.
37:34
I remember being pretty good. One of them is quite good.
37:39
But the world is not enough. I've never seen that in the
37:42
movies. And even that's and it had
37:43
Denise Richards in it, which I was.
37:46
Quite excited, man, yeah. And I still thought that was a
37:49
bit shit. That's the one.
37:51
That's basically Rupert Murdoch is the villain, right?
37:54
No, that's that's Torre never dies.
37:56
That's he's on the submarine or whatever and he's got, I got.
38:00
It's the next one, right? I haven't watched it again yet,
38:02
but I remember that one being all right.
38:04
It's the guy from Brazil. Yes, that actor.
38:07
Pryce, Jeremy Pryce, Jonathan Pryce, Jonathan Pryce.
38:12
He's good anyway. Golden.
38:14
I love it. Sean Bean love it.
38:17
Right as 006. Yes, Alexi.
38:20
Yeah. And he had that whole opening
38:22
sequence. It didn't give it give it away
38:24
that he's got a Russian name. I mean spoilers.
38:27
He calls him Alex. He calls him.
38:29
All right, Yeah, OK. Yeah, He just calls him Alex.
38:31
And then, yeah, the plot of it, I didn't recall.
38:34
The plot of it is a little bit like, so he was like a Cossack
38:38
and he moved to England or whatever.
38:40
And it's. I was never quite.
38:42
I'm probably wasn't paying enough attention because I was
38:45
too busy enjoying the vibe of it.
38:47
Yeah, but I was so remember thinking, I don't really
38:50
understand why he's suddenly so they were like friends, friends,
38:54
friends, and now he's like fucking die like.
38:57
And not just England, but you specifically James.
39:00
Yeah, I can hate. You James Bond?
39:01
Yeah, I never quite got this time.
39:04
Like why does he become such a cunt?
39:09
Anyway, good movie from memory and directed by the same
39:12
director as Casino Royale. Come back first Casino Royale
39:16
which I think is amazing. Also a.
39:18
Great game, yes? Great game and good.
39:21
Action and one of my favorite Bond cars, although he only
39:24
drives it for one second. The BMW.
39:27
The Z3, yeah. Yeah, he also drives the the DB5
39:32
in this at the start when he's racing the Ferrari, he's driving
39:35
the Sean Connery in DB5, which is I think the first time, the
39:38
first time they again after. And now, now everyone just knows
39:42
that as James Bond's car. Yeah, which is funny because
39:45
only Connery drove it up until then.
39:47
And then Connery only drove it in Goldfinger too.
39:50
Wasn't it like it? It didn't just happen in every
39:52
movie. Thunderball as well.
39:53
Yeah, it's in two. Thunderball had the big jets
39:55
that shoot water out the back and it was only in the opening
39:57
scene, I think in. Maybe he drives it a bit more
40:01
later, but Goldeneye was the that yes, Goldfinger was the one
40:05
he was mainly in. But anyway, I forgot that Pierce
40:08
Brosnan drove it at all. I was thinking it was Connery
40:12
and then and it got brought back for.
40:14
Because all the Connery ones, they're sponsored not by Aston
40:17
Martin but by BMW, and I think BMW told them What Car to use
40:21
for each one too. Because I think in the next one
40:22
it's just a family saloon. He's got like an M3 or
40:25
something. Yeah, I don't even know if it's
40:27
an M3. I think yeah, it's like it's
40:29
like a four door. Yeah, Yes, I think it's yeah.
40:32
What do we want to really market this year?
40:34
Yeah. Yeah.
40:36
The one that he controls with this phone, He's Nokia, yes.
40:39
That's right, yeah. Bring back the Nokia.
40:42
Which is, OK, So you're going to push those brands.
40:44
I mean, BMW is a luxury brand, but not in the James Bond sense.
40:49
Like, like when you look at Daniel Craig, he's got the Aston
40:52
Martin back, He's wearing Omega watches.
40:54
He's like, it's just like. Yeah, but even though Omega
40:57
shit, Omega's not Rolex or particularly like there's
41:00
there's there's better watches he could have on Yeah, but like
41:03
it's shows that he's. Casio for a but for a long time,
41:06
which I I loved seeing that. That's amazing it.
41:09
Hadn't occurred to me James Bond's wearing a fucking Casio
41:11
digital watch. You should technology collect
41:14
all of the Cassio James Bond watchers.
41:17
That's an attainable collection. Yeah, that.
41:20
Is. Yeah, not going to.
41:22
Not doing the amazing. But then just stop.
41:24
Yeah, exactly. Or the yeah, the Connery,
41:26
definitely. He had like submariners, I
41:28
think, throughout the different movies, and I can't afford that.
41:31
And I bet you got to keep him at the end.
41:34
Probably. Yeah, Probably did.
41:36
That'd be one of those things that's in his contract, like
41:38
with any of because I know sometimes I have contracts like
41:40
I, I get to keep the wardrobe and stuff like that.
41:42
Keep the watch and I get to keep her.
41:44
Mate, I did, I did a one day shoot with can I say I better
41:50
not say with an Australian former what's what's the rapist?
41:59
No, no, no, no, no. Wasn't a not a rapist.
42:05
Do you remember that period in the 90s and 2000s where ethnic
42:10
comedy was really, really in? Yeah, one of those guys.
42:14
Yeah, one of those guys. I won't say which one, but one
42:16
of the. One of the top three guys.
42:18
One of those guys, Vince. Colosimo.
42:20
It was Vince Colosimo. So we had Vince Colosimo for a
42:24
one day shoot and he said on 2 provisos 1 I only wear Armani
42:31
and two, I get to keep whatever I wear.
42:35
If I put something on it's mind. So we had to buy him an Armani
42:39
suit, feature that in the ad and let him take it home.
42:42
The. Reason why I even know this is
42:44
from watching a commentary on More Rats, because they got
42:49
yeah, Doherty on that and that was a big get for them.
42:52
And in one of the jackets and she was wearing Smith.
43:00
Oh, God, yeah. Can speak.
43:01
Can just a plain black jet. Can we get a star put on the
43:04
back of that? And then they did, the star came
43:07
back. And then someone came up and
43:08
went, can you not make any more changes to the clothes?
43:11
Because she's picked them out and she gets to, she wants to.
43:14
Keep them so and that was part of her.
43:17
That was part of her contract. That's how they got her to be on
43:19
it. Like going like that, buy you
43:22
clothes that you want and you can keep.
43:24
And it was like, yeah, so don't make any more alterations
43:26
without checking with us first. That's funny.
43:28
Interesting. Oh, Shannen Doherty in that
43:32
movie was beautiful. But.
43:34
And she was. Almost literally a Comic Con.
43:37
Even though years ago, even though it had Ben Affleck in it,
43:40
Shannon Doherty was the big get. It did have Ben.
43:43
Affleck, yeah. Well, he, Ben Affleck was.
43:45
I didn't even know who he was back then.
43:47
No. He was the guy with the stinky
43:50
hand. No, no he wasn't.
43:52
He gets stink. No, he was the guy who put girls
43:55
in a very. Girls in a very uncomfortable,
43:57
very uncomfortable position. Yeah, like the back of a
43:59
Volkswagen. I haven't watched that in a long
44:00
time. I thought he got stink pumped
44:03
but no he. Doesn't.
44:04
Oh, he did get stink pumped. No, didn't he?
44:06
Michael Rucker. No.
44:08
Oh. Fuck, he's in it too, isn't he?
44:10
Yeah, that's right. Yeah, You're calm or what?
44:14
Jesus, man, there's some things you just don't talk about in
44:17
public. Let's put that back on the list.
44:22
I want to watch that again. It's been so long.
44:25
It's a Silver chair song in that movie.
44:28
Yeah, what are you doing? There was a scene in it that
44:31
probably it was very good that got cut.
44:34
There was meant to be a scene where Jay accidentally comes on
44:41
Shannon Doherty. So it turns out that both kept
44:47
silent Bob and Jay's character. I think it's just Jay, Jay.
44:52
Jay Simon. Bob, you've heard of them.
44:54
Jay Simon. Bob Yeah, I just, they sneak.
44:57
Into change Jason to see her change.
44:59
And yeah, right. The shooter went, no, you can't
45:04
do it. But then are you later?
45:07
Like there's some that Mary comes out when she gets it.
45:10
And I think, I think it's a little bit different.
45:13
Yeah, yeah, he, they, he doesn't ejaculate onto Mary.
45:17
She takes it out of his hair. Yeah, if if sexual assault,
45:21
yeah, yeah. Yes.
45:25
Yeah, I mean, there is a lot of borderline sexual assault in
45:27
more rats from memory, but they. Could have been more.
45:31
Yeah, they could. He could have been more by the
45:32
sounds of it. It's just the IT was bad again.
45:35
Yeah, look, I, I consumed some media this week, but it's, it's
45:43
irrelevant what it was. But I just wanted to bring it up
45:46
because look, I'll know you'll hate this.
45:48
And Matt, I don't know what you think about it.
45:49
And I actually don't know what I think about it either.
45:52
I I downloaded an audio book on Audible as I do very often.
45:57
And at the start the narration said the following audio book
46:01
will be read by AI. And so that's a thing now that
46:07
started. I don't like it.
46:09
If they hadn't told me, I don't think I would have noticed.
46:13
It's that it's, it doesn't sound like the old like voices.
46:16
You are listening to our voice. It's not that it's a nonfiction,
46:20
right? So it's it's just very, it's
46:22
just very dry commentary anyway, so.
46:27
Yeah, right. Read by AI.
46:28
I mean that's that is how it's going to be.
46:33
Exactly a way to keep the costs. Down, isn't it?
46:35
Yeah, Yeah. Cheaper because I.
46:37
Don't think the margins on audio books are that good, especially
46:40
on Audible. And and I know what it costs to
46:42
hire recording studio time by the hour and like do.
46:47
You think that they'd own their recording studios, wouldn't
46:49
they? I don't know, Amazon, surely
46:53
they've got a studio. Yeah, but like, but you've got
46:56
to be where the like is there like a Hollywood audio?
46:59
Book it must take days to do oh it.
47:02
Definitely does, yeah. Yeah, because you've got to just
47:06
keep saying it until you say it the right way.
47:08
Right. Yeah, and there's a director and
47:10
like. Engineer.
47:11
It's also going to take the longer under listening back to
47:14
make sure it is. Correct reading.
47:17
What? Yeah.
47:18
Especially and stop spinning off.
47:21
But longer because you'd still have to listen to somebody
47:23
saying it in the first place. Like I guess somebody think it
47:27
must. Be very time consuming to
47:28
produce one of these I think with humans and still with AI.
47:32
Yeah, I think it would still be a little bit longer to listen
47:35
back because you got to because it's just going to spit the
47:37
entire thing out or unless you're doing it in segments,
47:40
whereas if you're doing it with a person.
47:42
That's true. There's no, there's no live
47:44
listening. Yeah.
47:45
Yeah. That's what I mean, Yeah, yeah.
47:46
So you can immediately give feedback, whereas with this,
47:48
you've got to go over it. Yeah.
47:51
But still. Yeah, the amount of times you'll
47:52
be going in just typing something phonetically to try to
47:55
get them to say a name, right. I mean, honestly, I think one of
47:58
the worst trends I feel, you know, sorry if you're an author,
48:01
but I think one of the worst trends in recent years has been
48:04
the authors reading their own audio books because it means
48:07
they get paid more. But sorry.
48:10
Don't do it. Get an act.
48:11
Doing that, Get an act. Some of you need to not do that
48:13
because I turn it off sometimes because I'm like, did you mean
48:18
it to be read that way when you wrote it?
48:19
Because I don't think you did. But why I?
48:23
Will even go as far as saying there's there's actors and then
48:26
there's good audio book narrators and they're not all
48:28
the same. Because I listen to David
48:30
Duchovny read his own novel, right?
48:34
And I'm like, I love you as an actor, and actually your book's
48:36
pretty good, but you should have gotten someone else to read
48:38
this. Yeah, yeah, I was at first
48:40
disappointed. I got Arnold's autobiography on
48:44
Audible and at first I was like, oh, he only reads the 1st
48:46
chapter. But then after listening to 1
48:47
chapter I was like it's for the best because you know I love
48:51
Arnie's voice but I don't want to hear him read a whole book.
48:54
No, and he knows. That for A1 liner he's good.
48:57
For an introduction. He read the first chapter and it
48:59
was good. Yeah.
49:00
Felt very authentic. And then and then someone else
49:03
who? Has A and not even no one doing
49:05
an Arnie impersonation, just an American actor.
49:08
Just did the rest. Yes, someone who has a pleasing
49:11
book, a pleasing voice, read me the book, read me the rest of
49:14
the book. And that's, that's what I want.
49:15
Yeah, like I said, some some authors, I'm like, I'm like, I
49:18
understand you get a paycheck, double paycheck almost.
49:20
Yeah. And I'm sure it's not quite like
49:22
that, but I understand why you would want to maybe do it.
49:24
As a whole thing too, I don't know because the ones that the
49:27
ones that do a good job. Paycheck because it probably
49:31
would if it gets bad reviews. Because they get loyalties.
49:35
From of the recording. I believe my understanding is
49:38
you're probably right. It is a way to get OK, get money
49:40
that you wouldn't have otherwise got because that's I don't
49:42
understand why they would do it otherwise.
49:44
On the audio version, wouldn't it?
49:46
That would, But the good sales, the good would.
49:49
Neil Gaiman, for example. And I know it's not cool to like
49:51
Neil Gaiman. No, no, but he.
49:53
Could read me reading audio but I don't want to hear anyone else
49:55
reading Neil Gaiman to me but Neil Gaiman.
49:58
British people, I think, get away there.
49:59
I listen to the audio book of Helen Lewis's new book about
50:02
genius, and I could listen to her read books all day because
50:06
but she's. Also Roll Dull reads his own
50:10
audio books, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and stuff and
50:12
they're amazing. So I guess the if you're not
50:16
British. Just don't.
50:17
Yeah. Maybe it's just if you're not
50:18
British, yeah. I couldn't listen.
50:20
I'd turn Matthew Mcconaughey's off, right?
50:22
I like Matthew McConaughey. I don't want to hear him read me
50:24
a book. Yeah, especially the book he
50:26
wrote, which I questioned the authenticity of some of the
50:30
stories. I'm like that didn't.
50:31
And I was most beautiful boy in South Carolina.
50:34
Then my dad beat me in the face until I was unconscious and then
50:38
and then I'm like, I don't want to hear about it.
50:40
And I looked up at him and I said, Dad, where's the love?
50:43
Just give me love. And if you want to send me
50:46
money, you can send it to this. Where did he become a con
50:49
artist? Yeah, well, you know, he's got
50:51
another book now that's just poetry and thoughts.
50:54
I mean, that's fine. It's just, it's the, it's the
50:56
motivational speaking, con artistry thing that.
51:00
Yeah, the guru. The guru stuff.
51:01
Yeah, anyway, I reckon that came from the ads he used to do for
51:04
he's just because. Remember the ads he used to read
51:08
for Scotch whiskeys and stuff? Oh yeah, I need to take Lincoln
51:12
automobiles. Yeah, it's like that.
51:14
I like, I think it's that sort of thought that sort of led him
51:16
into that, right? I keep just talking like that
51:19
and I can sell that. I.
51:20
Don't know man, to me he's just interstellar now.
51:24
John, Andy, Stella. He's a great actor.
51:25
He should have. Just why is he doing this stuff?
51:27
That makes me not like him. Stop it.
51:29
Like but I didn't use you to. Literally a grifter.
51:31
Now, Luke, in case you don't know, he has like, you know
51:33
those courses where he's like, oh man, we happiness.
51:36
Just you just gotta send money in and we'll send you the the
51:39
the. Stuff happiness.
51:40
Happy. Yeah, exactly.
51:42
It's like one of those telemarketry scam kind of weird
51:44
things. I might be misrepresenting it
51:46
slightly. But it is I.
51:48
Hope not as far as I'm afraid. A scam.
51:50
Yeah, I don't like those, those people that you see on like if
51:53
you you do our course, I'll make you an hour.
51:55
For us, it's a course that's probably a better.
51:58
Yeah, seeing it's a course is probably a better way to not get
52:02
sued. Thank you, Luke.
52:03
Yes the course is still a scam I believe from the ones I've seen.
52:10
I think it is. Yeah, I mean, all the courses
52:13
I've signed up to have definitely been scams, so we'll.
52:15
See, I mean, it's one of those things.
52:17
It's like that Derren Brown episode with the ghost hunting
52:19
guy if it is a scam. But if you believe in ghosts and
52:25
he believes in ghosts and it both makes you feel good.
52:28
Yeah. Who am I to?
52:30
You just scamming each other. So if Matthew Mcconaughey's
52:32
making people happy, fine, I guess I just.
52:35
Don't like it. I have seen some of these ones
52:37
we go like as full money back guarantee if this doesn't work
52:41
for you but. Define.
52:43
That, yeah. To do that, you so you have to
52:46
follow every single single little step which.
52:50
Or you can't say that you did it.
52:52
Yeah. Did it.
52:53
And even if you did it all, still don't.
52:56
Just you're wrong man. You just did it wrong.
52:58
Yeah, you should. Yeah, you should.
52:59
It's got to be Matthew McConaughey.
53:03
I saw a great meme the other day.
53:04
It was just a picture of Henry Cavill and it just said just ask
53:11
her out. It always works for me.
53:18
I could love Henry Cavill. Yeah, he's the best.
53:20
If it if it ever gets revealed that Henry Cavill is some sort
53:23
of con artist, I'm going to be so sad because he's one of us as
53:26
far as I I feel like. He's just the most handsome nerd
53:29
ever been. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
53:31
Yeah, he obviously he's he's the the alpha, but yes, he.
53:34
He's our king. We'll bow to him.
53:36
Yeah. He's our king.
53:39
Like Warhammer? Yep, building APC on fucking
53:42
stream. You're doing it wrong and not
53:45
caring. He's just like I'm just.
53:46
Yeah, he's not. He's not.
53:47
It's not performative. He's just like if anyone was to
53:49
watch me build. It how the fuck do I put this he
53:52
paste on mate and like he's just he's just real.
53:57
Yeah, yeah, just shouldn't be in movies.
54:00
Speaking of building things, I'll just quickly throw this in.
54:02
Fucking Admiral Thrawn and Urso, fucking architect of the Death
54:07
Star brothers in real life, the Mickelsons.
54:10
Yes. Build a Lego Death Star together
54:13
at Christmas this year. That's great.
54:15
Yeah, someone gifted 1 to whichever the younger brother is
54:19
the Thrawn brother. And Matt, he said.
54:22
I'll fucking come over and help you with that.
54:24
I would love to get this, yeah, like 4000 pieces.
54:29
It's a be an amazing build. Would you build it with the
54:34
Mickelsons? Yeah, they've already done it.
54:37
I think they'd be a bit over it now.
54:41
I don't know if they I would. They might be fun to hang out
54:43
with. I don't know, they might be a
54:44
bit serious. No, I don't think Maz Mccosen's
54:50
serious. No, probably not.
54:51
I've only seen Maz Mccosen is very serious, like he's a chief.
54:54
He's like, yeah, you're imagining Le Chief or maybe the
54:57
the we're. Doing yeah building the Lego and
54:59
he's like he's bleeding in the eye I.
55:01
Assume Yeah, it's nothing sinister.
55:03
See, see. Now, do you see a piece that's
55:08
two by three? Yeah, take a seat in the stool
55:11
that I've cut the yeah seat. The fucking hell.
55:15
It's not my throne though. Not my throne.
55:19
It's not my granddad, Wolf. It seems OK though.
55:21
I've seen him in a few, you know, Danish crime movies.
55:23
He was. He was in the killing.
55:25
He's very good in The Witcher, didn't he?
55:29
He Oh yes, yes he is. I want to mention something, if
55:35
I may. I won't go on about too much,
55:38
but I do really, really want to encourage people to play Dune
55:42
Awakening. Oh yes, because the Steam sale
55:44
was on. I've got G Force now and I saw
55:47
that I could play on that. And I was like, it was 30 bucks.
55:51
And I was like, I really want to play that.
55:53
When's the console release? It's fucking mid 2026.
55:56
And I was like, I don't want to wait, fuck it.
55:58
So I bought it. It is excellent, OK.
56:03
OK. I love it.
56:05
It's kernel exiles but more refined in my opinion and it
56:13
feels like basically a single player game, but I'm aware that
56:16
there are other people around building bases also, but I don't
56:20
have to interact with them. Yeah, right.
56:23
But you're playing it on a on a public server.
56:25
Yeah, playing it on the the the North American server called
56:28
Arakis because I was like, I'm picking that one.
56:31
Yeah, of course. Why wouldn't you?
56:33
Have you seen some people? Play and it does look amazing.
56:36
Yeah, it's not going to run on my PC.
56:38
But when it comes out on Xbox. Yeah, yeah, when it comes out, I
56:43
think, I honestly, I think, I think this is a game we call.
56:46
It's just so it's fucking it's, it's just what you think.
56:49
It's like you're in the fucking desert and then there's like
56:51
blocks of rock and you've got to do quests and there's like
56:53
scavengers and you shoot people and stuff like that.
56:55
And then sometimes you've got to get from 1 block of rock to the
56:58
other one. You've got to run across the
56:59
sand. And then this little noise meter
57:01
comes up and then our fucking sand work comes.
57:03
I was playing it. Without rhythm.
57:05
My daughter was like, oh, I want to watch.
57:08
So I was like, OK, I could try and do some non violent things
57:10
while she's watching and that. And then she was getting into
57:12
it. She was like, don't go on the
57:13
sand, Dad, don't go on the sand. The worms coming.
57:15
And then at one point I'm like running across and I the meter
57:19
starts to go red and then you hit and because the music and
57:23
it's great too. Oh yeah.
57:24
So like you're running across the sand and then when the when
57:26
you're making too much noise or whatever, the music starts to go
57:31
and and she's like grabs my arm and then this fucking sand worm
57:35
comes up out of the sand. And then she was like and then
57:38
she goes. I finally got to see one did it.
57:42
Kill you. No, no, no, I haven't been eaten
57:44
by a worm yet. That's the So if you die, you
57:47
respawn with all your stuff, unless a sand worm eats you and
57:50
then you respawn without all your stuff, right?
57:54
So you got to watch it fuck you today, but not.
57:55
Look looking at this it looks like a much bigger and much
57:59
well-rounded welding. What Conan was.
58:01
Not saying Conan was bad, I'm just saying he has learnt a lot
58:05
from YEAH. Conan, it's really fun in a way
58:09
that Conan was sometimes not fun.
58:11
You know, like Conan could get tedious at times where you're
58:14
running back and forth and that kind of stuff.
58:15
You do have to run around in this, but so far it's fun at all
58:20
times doing that. And the other thing story wise I
58:23
thought was cool. It's narrated at the start by
58:27
Paula Tradies, and he says, this is a version of the world that
58:32
I've seen. I'm not in it.
58:34
My parents had a daughter, Lady Jessica finished her training.
58:37
She was able to detect the plot against them.
58:39
They won the battle of Arakin and the Fremen were wiped out by
58:44
their cytokine. Like, it's just the world is
58:46
just different in in cool ways that make it so that they don't
58:49
have to stick to the world of the books.
58:53
They can do their own thing that makes it more fitting for kind
58:57
of the story they want to tell. So I was like, oh, that's cool.
59:00
I. Will wait for Xbox.
59:05
So because I can't play, as you know, I can't play a game
59:07
without achievements, unfortunately.
59:09
That's fine, it will come out eventually.
59:11
I just really wanted to say yes, it's.
59:13
Great. It's really.
59:14
Good. Looks amazing.
59:17
Yeah, I'm all in. Yeah, I've got to wait for Xbox,
59:19
my PC, and I'm going to run this.
59:21
But yeah, I'll be there. I'll be there when this comes
59:23
out. Sweet love it.
59:28
We're going to go to the after party now, and I just want to
59:31
tease a little annual tradition. We did it last year.
59:36
I don't know if we did it before then, but we're going to do it
59:38
in the after party this year, which is I'm going to tell you
59:40
what the most searched terms on Pornhub were in 2025.
59:46
Change from tread treadwife tradition.
59:49
We have tread wives last year we have.
59:51
Changed, Yep. And there's there's some
59:52
interesting, there's some interesting changes.
59:54
So OK. All right, I'm we've gone from
59:57
step step siblings to trad wise. Let's find out what's next.
1:00:02
Well, patreon.com/multiple Nerdgasm sign up $5 a month will

1:00:09
party is all about Pornhub. And some dead celebrities.
1:00:14
And some. So yeah, a whole bunch of dead
1:00:15
people. People seem to die at the end of
1:00:17
the year a lot. There's always a
1:00:18
disproportionate amount around Christmas and New Year.
1:00:22
Yeah, this can't be bothered with Christmas again.
1:00:25
That's what it is, Yeah. God I don't get Christmas.
