• 0:22
  Things nerdy so not wearing a kilt yesterday then no no I was wearing pants
• 0:27
  yesterday so I was putting on under and I start thinking see I own quite a few
• 0:32
  pairs of Star Wars underwear okay I'm wondering if that's sort of a normal
• 0:36
  thing for a person my age so I thought I'd ask you guys like how many pairs of
• 0:40
  Star Wars underwear do you own um I think just a single pair at this point
• 0:45
  right now current currently none and I feel like I've let the team down I've
• 0:49
  got like five or six I think I can go an entire week just in Star Wars underway I
• 0:53
  mean there's been times where I've definitely had Star Wars underwear for
• 0:56
  sure and when they're like like graphic boxers came into gra
• 1:03
  graphic [ __ ] graphic that you know I certainly I
• 1:08
  certainly had my share of Star Wars Prince but just cuz I was also um last
• 1:14
  week it sort of for casual day at work and everyone goes to work and they're
• 1:16
  all s of like wearing plain shirts just wearing his underwear how do
• 1:22
  you know what underwear they were wearing though no no no but I'm just
• 1:25
  saying like they're all sort of wearing plain shirts like every day that I go
• 1:30
  like it was casual I've got like some pop culture reference on my shirt or oh
• 1:35
  yeah I dress like a teenager yeah but then I go to work and it's just yeah
• 1:38
  they're casual which means yet they're just wearing a different kind of t-shirt
• 1:42
  or a polo shirt polo shirt I don't own any po polar shirt I own one and it's a
• 1:48
  Star Wars one I own quite a few actually yeah yeah but you dress like an adult I
• 1:53
  feel actually that's not you don't always you do more than we do but you
• 1:56
  don't always no that's true both of those things are true yeah I do have my
• 2:01
  adult wear for when it's required y but then I've also just got my skinny jeans
• 2:06
  and v-neck that I've just always gone to
• 2:09
  as as my costume well I wear uh this is not a paid advertisement because they've
• 2:15
  never approached is at all uh but I wear mandies and uh oh sure we will happily
• 2:20
  take your money if you want to yeah uh no they're very comfortable I recommend
• 2:24
  them but uh I have a Star Wars print of
• 2:27
  them just the one I think they do
• 2:31
  star they do oh for me for me it's just like um I'll just be Big W or something
• 2:38
  yeah we don't have those I me we have the big American chain so if if if an
• 2:42
  H&M has it and maybe H&M might have it they got some stuff you know what I'm
• 2:48
  going to check for next week next week on the podcast oh guys I'm not here next
• 2:52
  week sorry the we after to bring this up on air yeah I've got a work trip I've
• 2:57
  got a [ __ ] work trip and I don't mean I'm I'm shooting overseas I mean my
• 3:01
  colleagues and I are being forced to go away for a work weekend team building a
• 3:07
  team bonding yeah for that's a big American thing isn't it Friday Saturday
• 3:13
  Sunday Monday all of us separately have tried our absolute hardest to get out of
• 3:18
  this and it's just it's down to the wire now it's who the [ __ ] wants it who's
• 3:21
  organizing it then our boss boss the one person who wants it to happen yeah y
• 3:28
  yeah and and the person who just some reason despite what everyone tells her
• 3:32
  thinks that everyone wants this is she new oh no best not to talk
• 3:38
  about your boss yeah yeah no I just what saying like sometimes when people are
• 3:42
  new to a role this is like they they want to make like one big statement this is we're
• 3:48
  doing Luke was scared about talking about it D does not give a [ __ ] I was
• 3:54
  look I held back when I was going to make the joke that um one person forcing
• 3:58
  nine people to do something was like reverse gang rape and I held that back
• 4:02
  okay so I just want you guys to be proud of me I am proud of you I really feel
• 4:07
  like that's just that's not something we should bring up so I'm glad you didn't
• 4:09
  bring it up yeah yeah exactly Matt do you go on any team bonding things cuz I
• 4:13
  really do feel that's an American thing we do we go we have company events uh we
• 4:18
  do have the clan bake I've talked about the clan bake before haven't I yeah that
• 4:23
  sounds like a [ __ ] lesbian bar in [Laughter]
• 4:28
  Detroit thanks for the specificity there yeah no I mean it's not it's not a
• 4:33
  lesbian bar in a nice city you know what I mean Detroit's quite nice no it's not
• 4:38
  downtown downtown Detroit is quite nice there's one yeah there's one block that's nice
• 4:44
  uh yeah no we do a few things they're they're fun I have fun I mean it's not
• 4:48
  like 4 days overseas uh generally speaking for you know a day here or
• 4:54
  there or like an even you could suggest that idea I'm legitimately worried that it's the
• 5:00
  Beach oh you don't know where you're going no it's a [ __ ] surprise Matt
• 5:06
  you think it's like the beach starring uh Leonard DiCaprio you go the remote
• 5:11
  island with marijuana plants growing everywhere yeah that's right yeah and he
• 5:15
  like it's a surprise Tri trip but you're going overseas somewhere to different
• 5:19
  country um you say the beach but I think they shot that on um on either colanta
• 5:25
  or kofifi or uh some one of the Thai islands and I'm 90% sure it's going to
• 5:30
  be one of them so you're more right than you know all right fair enough yeah I
• 5:34
  couldn't be less excited about this watch out for sharks
• 5:38
  then I watched that movie recently because it's on Netflix does not age
• 5:42
  well really the beach yeah I I remember being very good yeah I remember it being
• 5:48
  like quite intense and you know a little bit philosophical as well uh no it's not
• 5:53
  I remember not watching it cuz I wasn't much of a Leo
• 5:57
  fan yeah I think that was the attitude you and McGregor took because apparently
• 6:02
  he was originally promised that role and then really yeah and then Dany Bo who
• 6:07
  had used him in all of his movies was like you know what he ain't young and pretty enough
• 6:14
  a a well he showed him we love you you now he's Oban
• 6:20
  Kenobi yeah so [ __ ] you Leo who are you everyone else I guess Danny Bo don't do
• 6:27
  James Bond then see if we get he's pulled out of that he's not doing James Bond
• 6:33
  anymore no I'm uh I'm okay with that actually yeah maybe no one should do
• 6:39
  James Bond anymore yeah I mean it's getting to that point isn't it I I
• 6:43
  almost feel like this one could be the you don't even watch them anymore Luke I
• 6:47
  would love crap if I was in it it' go back to the funay no he's in it now he's
• 6:52
  not directing it he's in it he's in it he stars as James Bond look this is
• 6:58
  probably a good opportunity I do want to dig deeper on this uh I do uh but before
• 7:02
  we do I just want to bring up that uh a listener of our podcast qu
• 7:08
  um thought we were doing a bit last week when um when we called Luke out on
• 7:14
  knowing a lot about acting because he now takes acting classes um and I just
• 7:17
  want to say to any of our listeners who also thought that that's not a bit Luke
• 7:22
  is legitimately enrolled in active lessons now I've been to three lessons
• 7:26
  so far or something okay so um what have you learned any more
• 7:31
  method uh no I I refused to take part in method okay so at the part of each class
• 7:37
  where they're like okay now we're getting into character he like well I'm going out for a
• 7:42
  smoke yeah no I no she even the the person teacher class when she doesn't
• 7:47
  like method acting oh so you're all right you're on I'm okay but we got our
• 7:51
  first script read through I don't like method acting it well she said it's not healthy
• 7:57
  for people which is probably not yeah fair enough yeah depends on what your
• 8:04
  method acting yourself into being yeah well look I mean I think
• 8:08
  um yeah sure I mean if if you're method acting yourself into being an unhealthy
• 8:14
  person I can I can see it being quite detrimental but I've got my script which
• 8:20
  I meant to read through for tomorrow night and then we'll read through the
• 8:24
  scripts and then we'll decide what we're going to perform in a month's time I
• 8:27
  wonder if that could work in a drama class you could just walk up to one of
• 8:30
  your uh you know your co- students and be like oh by the way I'm method acting
• 8:33
  as a guy who's going to [ __ ] you later tonight and they'll have no choice
• 8:38
  because that's what method acting is yeah you just have you just have to let
• 8:43
  that person do whatever the [ __ ] they want it might be a good pickup line
• 8:49
  yeah so have you been cast in your performance yet no we've just been given
• 8:55
  a script to audition well it's sort of an audition so everyone's got a with a few scripts
• 9:01
  around they've said like you read this part and then we're all just going to
• 9:05
  sit around read parts and then we're going to work out who's going to be best
• 9:08
  in what role all right they're just little skits are you allowed to tell us
• 9:12
  the the subject of the scripts I am meant to be the boss in the firing Terry
• 9:17
  Skitch okay firing Terry small shoe yeah that's interesting you should bring that
• 9:23
  in don't mention it but just use that use that as your backstory and your
• 9:27
  emotional recall on the day yep can do so what we've learned Luke don't
• 9:32
  forget about this um what we've learned from Robert patson method actor is that
• 9:37
  what you need to do is do a 180 on everything you did in rehearsal yeah so
• 9:43
  if they tell me not to masturbate that's the first thing I do they probably won't
• 9:47
  mention it because they won't just won't be expecting it and so that's what you
• 9:50
  got to do that's how you always get you've got to F character would be yeah
• 9:55
  yeah put me in a locked room I'm going to masturbate you're [ __ ] f
• 10:05
  yeah I'd watch it I'd watch that play So how do we watch the
• 10:12
  play how listeners get to see this I can invite everyone okay do we know the
• 10:18
  dates because I'll be back in Sydney uh at the end of the year is it going to be
• 10:21
  in Christmas I'll drive up to camera to watch play second of December a it's a
• 10:26
  little bit early I'm afraid yeah sorry yeah but if anyone wants to
• 10:30
  go I will email in and I'll send you the address okay podcast just throw this out
• 10:37
  if anyone goes Carol from Sydney if you're going um can you please videotape
• 10:42
  it and um and share with us there is a thing where they say no recordings
• 10:48
  okay very small have you been on the internet but I'm pretty sure that the
• 10:54
  audience can't but what's to stop me from doing it yeah well that's well
• 10:57
  you'll be on the stage though so it won't be a great View
• 11:00
  no it'll be be method method method filming yeah I'm method acting as a guy
• 11:05
  who was pirating this [Laughter] show and [ __ ] this
• 11:12
  coaster but we might be able to work something out don't sure what that means in
• 11:18
  relation to the filming I don't know either all I know was it was a good
• 11:22
  couple of days last week where I thought the Pirate Bay was gone forever but
• 11:25
  thankfully it's back where it was oh is it yeah I legitimately got worried because it
• 11:31
  was down for longer than it normally is well yeah I haven't used it in so long
• 11:36
  so yeah I don't even know any other sites anymore I'm scared to use the bar
• 11:41
  Bay here in the US you can you get arrested for that [ __ ] I think you yeah
• 11:45
  oh you I mean I don't know if you get arrested here but I mean they do arrest
• 11:49
  you for a lot of things here cuz remember they tried to yeah Australia
• 11:54
  take to court in Australia and the judge went no yeah I think that's I think
• 11:58
  that's how it works know people that have gotten cease and assist
• 12:01
  letters yeah right but I forget I forget what movie it was but yeah they wanted
• 12:06
  to go out and know when we want to charge people and the judge has gone
• 12:08
  look you can send it out but anything you send out I want to see first so I
• 12:11
  can see if you're sending out something reasonable and then they just went ahead
• 12:15
  with it and he went no not going any further now oh there you go cuz he was
• 12:18
  basically saying like you can request money but a sensible amount like the
• 12:23
  cost of the movie plus a little bit extra but they were going out stupid for
• 12:27
  going for thousands of dollars yeah right well the film cost $50 million
• 12:32
  honestly that's all I'm asking for I will happily pay the cost of each movie
• 12:37
  that I download if there was one database where everything was available
• 12:41
  that's that's what I want and that's what we were getting to
• 12:46
  that but cuz when Netflix finally came out there was a couple but now there's
• 12:50
  like everyone's got their own streaming service and we're going back to this
• 12:54
  fragmented reality which everyone hates Disney we're in a fragmented reality
• 13:00
  again this podcast has gone super philosophical now but I'm hoping Disney
• 13:07
  plus is good cuz they're going to have all of Fox's back catalog you'll have to
• 13:13
  tell us mate because you get it before not everything though right AR they not
• 13:17
  having everything well I don't know I don't know it's confusing like I see all
• 13:21
  the movies but I haven't seen much on their television
• 13:25
  yeah Matt will find out first he oh Matt will find out first okay I'll find not
• 13:30
  at all November 12th I find out yeah you'll find out that's that's like less
• 13:36
  than weeks yeah and that's when the Mandalorian start drops as well man I'll
• 13:42
  be watching exciting I need to somehow
• 13:47
  it'sand the 19th got the Mandalorian it's got the world according to Jeff
• 13:51
  gold Blum on the National Geographic Chanel I'll check that
• 13:55
  out uh into the unknown the making of Frozen 2 okay one
• 14:02
  division yeah maybe 30 seasons of The Simpsons in case I have a feel like
• 14:08
  watching all that okay and and honestly like seasons 3 through seven were quite
• 14:13
  good so enjoy yeah all those others but I've seen I've seen 37 a million times I
• 14:19
  would I maybe wouldn't mind watching one of the newer season no man they're hard
• 14:22
  to watch they really are yeah it's weird the don't think I've seen the last 20
• 14:29
  yeah I told you I read that essay about The Simpsons that was like the the good
• 14:33
  seasons were good because the Simpsons was just all the characters were just
• 14:39
  joke delivery and they didn't worry about [ __ ] consistency or like you
• 14:43
  know trying to carry plots over from episode to episode or anything like that
• 14:47
  every episode was like basically like pretend all the other episodes don't
• 14:52
  exist it doesn't matter these are the characters and they're just doing stuff
• 14:55
  and they even made episodes where that was a joke within the episode
• 14:59
  there was on where at the end they were like well I'm glad everything's gone
• 15:03
  exactly back to normal so that we can start again next week yeah but then they
• 15:07
  tried to make it every episode's got to have like a little lesson and then it's
• 15:11
  got to have you know consistency and and through plots and stuff and then now
• 15:15
  it's just look I think you're absolutely right but I just want to ask since when
• 15:19
  have you been an essayist I I didn't write the essay I uh
• 15:25
  I I read it oh okay can we scroll back I'm pretty sure you claimed to wrote it
• 15:31
  no I I said I mentioned it on the podcast that I had read it I think
• 15:34
  that's oh I see sure sure it's just bragging that he can read I definit did
• 15:38
  not write an essay I haven't written an essay since high school I I thought not
• 15:43
  sure I would you were just dropping that in there that you've been publishing
• 15:46
  essays on pop culture Luke's been his acting class I've been at my essay essay
• 15:51
  writing I I would read the [ __ ] out of any essay you wrote on The Simpsons or
• 15:56
  anything but uh you're right and what I also love about Simpsons from that uh
• 16:00
  era and I watched uh and just to be clear watched not produced a little uh
• 16:06
  YouTube video that was also on the topic of why the why the old Simpsons videos
• 16:12
  used to be so good and it was always because they weren't ever satisfied with
• 16:16
  a joke being a standalone joke there was always a secondary joke to come straight
• 16:20
  after it so it's like if you didn't laugh at the first joke if it didn't
• 16:24
  land for you then that was the setup to some other punchline
• 16:30
  yeah or one two yeah the old one two a see Luke has been learning they teach
• 16:36
  you that in drama class I I don't actually know what I'm learning in it
• 16:41
  really Jesus all right I forget how to learn things no but here's the thing
• 16:47
  Luke it's proba like the K good he's too good yeah no I reckon it's like you you
• 16:53
  probably just be painting your drama teacher's house and you know sweeping up
• 16:57
  and all that kind of stuff but I did the teacher did ask me have I done improv
• 17:01
  before after I did a little scene okay interesting how did she phrase it did
• 17:07
  she goes oh have you done improv before or or did she say have you done improv
• 17:13
  before the first one
• 17:17
  okay do do you know what improv means yeah the emphasis is is important
• 17:24
  there I um I had this this fabulous moment that um qu is
• 17:29
  really wants me to stop talking about I can't remember if I've mentioned this or
• 17:32
  not but um last year when we were in Venice we did a cooking class Pastor
• 17:37
  making class and uh this uh this big fat Italian chef called Luigi um came up to
• 17:43
  me at some point and in front of the entire class of like 20 people who were
• 17:47
  learning to cook on the you know the first and only day of a one-day cooking
• 17:50
  school and said to me be honest you you're quite an experienced Chef aren't
• 17:56
  you and I was like hey and I could just see rolling her eyes like oh [ __ ] I'm
• 18:01
  never gonna never gonna hear this I've
• 18:04
  seen you make eggs a lot yeah eggs are a
• 18:09
  thing man oh and a soup are so us you made soup a lot that soup your soup was
• 18:13
  good made I still make that soup I still make the three things I used to make in
• 18:17
  the 5 years I lived with you you never quite got making coffee right
• 18:23
  though most mornings because you hadn't had a coffee yet yeah that's right I was
• 18:28
  [ __ ] useless yeah I'm going to start drinking coffee I've decided oh you
• 18:32
  should oh it's never too late to take up a bad habit well I think it's I don't
• 18:38
  know is coffee going to be better to Mountain Jew yes I would say so yeah it
• 18:43
  depends it depends on how you prepare it cuz I have a feeling you're going to put
• 18:46
  quite a lot of sugar and milk in it true yeah and if you put a lot of chemicals
• 18:49
  in it too it might be as bad as the Mountain Dew I'm going to put a little
• 18:53
  bit of milk yeah and two teaspoons of sugar all right do you okay just I'm
• 19:00
  drinking I'm drinking black coffee right now and it's delicious and I recommend
• 19:03
  you you try try that give a try look I'm I'm using a little milk in my I'm
• 19:08
  drinking coffee right now too I don't put sugar but I put a little milk but
• 19:11
  I'm lactose andt so I use soy milk but that's that's up to you Luke that's up
• 19:14
  to you but um two spoonfuls of sugar in
• 19:19
  in a in a cup is going to be excessively sweet and if if you don't find it
• 19:24
  excessively sweet You' probably eat too much sugar uh this is
• 19:29
  have you seen how many [ __ ] nerds and runts loot consumes in a
• 19:34
  day it's a lot yeah how much sugar in Mountain ju I
• 19:40
  have cut almost all sugar out of my diet now yeah I'm trying to I do I eat a
• 19:45
  cheeky Snickers bar every now and then cuz I do like a Snickers yeah there's
• 19:48
  some things I still indulge in but for the most part I've I've yeah I'm not
• 19:53
  saying well see I still drink soda but I only drink sugar-free soda which I know
• 19:57
  has its own problems but I drink a lot of uh Selsa water Selsa yeah they call
• 20:03
  it Selsa here you know fizzy water yeah fizzy water do you drink salsa while
• 20:08
  you're eating salsa I used to drink lots of fizzy water called
• 20:12
  tonic tonic water has got a bunch of sugar in it two yeah there's about four
• 20:16
  spoons of sugar in every tonic so fishy drinks incurring High attack rate grams
• 20:22
  of sugar per 100 Mil so Mountain Jew has 13 g of sugar per 100 Mil and I drink
• 20:28
  about five cancer out a day [ __ ] hell [ __ ] hell okay I drink it for the
• 20:35
  caffeine right yeah drink coffee meu has more
• 20:39
  caffeine than any other drink out there no I don't think that's true uh I think
• 20:46
  oh that's not like an energy drink or Monster or one of those probably yeah
• 20:51
  that's just a straight soft drink more than Coke mate I love my diet red
• 20:56
  ball I like blue V blue v of course you
• 21:01
  do I guess blue v I guarantee is the one that's got the most sugar in it yeah
• 21:06
  Flav or something yeah yeah oh I'm actually at the point
• 21:12
  in my life now where I look at the um the caloric intake in beer now I'm like
• 21:17
  oh which beer has the the least carbs oh oh I don't I drink a I'm a craft beer

  Thrones yeah actually looks like they're not afraid to go into the
• 22:29
  fasy tropes that that leads us to a segue there something that happened this
• 22:33
  week do sort of yeah because there uh potentially potentially not the two
• 22:39
  gentlemen behind Game of Thrones Weis Ben benof Ben off uh they did a
• 22:46
  panel the other week at uh I think the Austin Film Festival yeah was their
• 22:50
  first public appearance weird yeah man first public appearance since since
• 22:56
  everyone got mad at them about season 8 and canceled all their appearances they
• 23:00
  was supposed to be at Comic-Con and they canceled that and then they kind of
• 23:03
  disappeared for a while and then they did this panel at Austin and they kind
• 23:07
  of just talked about how they didn't know what the [ __ ] they were doing yeah
• 23:11
  and it was really odd the they they mentioned that they had a really good
• 23:17
  pitch for the season would start yeah but that they really didn't know where
• 23:22
  they were going to take it what to do with it they even admitted they didn't
• 23:26
  really understand the books and hadn't even read everything that was available
• 23:30
  to read up until that point anyway um and then we're just making it up as it
• 23:34
  went along HBO made them film another 100 hours for the first season because
• 23:39
  they were like this is not a TV series I had read that before actually I
• 23:44
  had read that they' kind of every episode was coming in at about 39
• 23:48
  minutes and they were like guys you you are was an hour each week yeah they they
• 23:52
  they said to to meet their contractual obligations they had to film another 100
• 23:56
  hours of content and they had they in fact one of the things they mentioned
• 23:59
  was that they'd never filled the scene with um with Robert and what's her name
• 24:04
  uh Cersei Cersei yeah and then and then it's like what do you mean yeah like
• 24:09
  they just didn't think that a husband and wife a king and a queen and two of
• 24:13
  the biggest stars I don't know just odd things like that necessary to have them
• 24:17
  share the screen at any point and then yeah every scene in other words every
• 24:22
  scene with the two of them in it in the first season spoilers you won't see any
• 24:26
  with the two of them in it past the first season um will will have uh is something they
• 24:32
  reshot yeah because didn't think to put it in there and then I don't know it was
• 24:36
  just a weird panel like yeah and apparently everyone in the room thought
• 24:41
  it was weird too like why are they telling us this like this just not make
• 24:44
  them look good yeah so so just to back up uh Game of Thrones got arguably
• 24:51
  steadily worse as the seasons went on uh
• 24:56
  and season 8 was hated by just about everyone yes uh then they go
• 25:03
  and have this panel where they basically say they didn't know what they
• 25:08
  were doing and that um you shouldn't have been surprised that season 8 was so
• 25:11
  bad because weren't the seasons before that bad also which was a weird thing to
• 25:15
  say the implication was that that cuz they they basically said I don't know if
• 25:20
  they realized they were saying this but they basically said at the beginning we
• 25:22
  didn't know what we were doing so we let all the professionals do stuff and as
• 25:26
  time went on we figured this is popular that's got to be our fault and they just
• 25:30
  started taking over everything and [ __ ] familiar Geor Lucas effect and
• 25:36
  then but like I don't know if that's what the the message they were intending
• 25:40
  to to put across but that's certainly what everyone's taken away from this is
• 25:43
  that the reason it got [ __ ] is because of you guys and at the beginning the reason it
• 25:49
  was good is because you didn't know what you were doing you just stayed back out
• 25:51
  of the way and just let people do their thing how how do people who don't know
• 25:54
  what they're doing get a gig like that in the first place this white proof mate
• 25:59
  is the reason they got this it's the uh the nepotism of
• 26:04
  Hollywood yeah did they come in with a lot of money to back themselves or
• 26:08
  anything or they somehow convinced George RR Martin to give him the rights
• 26:12
  I think and it was basically HBO sold it overseas and were like well let's just
• 26:17
  [ __ ] do it and see what happens I that that's that's seemed to
• 26:21
  be what they were saying was that that even though it was a disaster at the
• 26:26
  beginning HBO were like well we've already sold the rights overseas so it's
• 26:29
  fine and then they just got lucky I
• 26:33
  guess so seemingly as a result of the
• 26:38
  abortion which is this uh panel last week um this week uh it has been
• 26:43
  announced that Ben off and Weiss have decided to pull out of their Star Wars
• 26:50
  Trilogy that they were producing and writing for Disney and the reason they
• 26:54
  cited was that um Netflix have also offered them
• 26:58
  um a series uh that they can develop themselves and they've decided to choose
• 27:05
  that over Star Wars I think I know why they might have done that go
• 27:11
  on okay Star Wars M like they've just come out of SE season 8 which everyone
• 27:16
  hates and they got crucified for right
• 27:20
  y Star Wars no matter what they do they are going to be they're going to be
• 27:26
  hated online for whatever they do with the story I don't think they want to go
• 27:29
  through that again they can't win they can't win go the safe new thing that
• 27:32
  you're creating on Netflix that doesn't have to stand up against anything yeah I
• 27:36
  also feel like probably this was well not necessarily but I think certainly uh
• 27:43
  Kathleen Kennedy and the the heads at lucasfilm aren't upset about this
• 27:48
  because they don't they don't need this [ __ ] they've had enough well yes and in
• 27:52
  fact in the face with Star Wars at this point yeah and I think I think you're
• 27:56
  probably right Luke I think a lot of that sounds plausible but there's also
• 28:00
  there's also another Fringe Theory out there that actually these guys were
• 28:05
  fired by Kathleen Kennedy the moment the
• 28:10
  final episode of Game of Thrones aired and it was so bad and the moment that
• 28:14
  they started getting criticized online that she just decided I don't need this
• 28:19
  and uh if if the fans have lost their you know she she obviously thought she
• 28:25
  was hiring two people that were fan favorites yeah and then when she well
• 28:30
  cuz you know the court of public opinion is is you know when it turns on you it
• 28:33
  [ __ ] turns on you these days so so evidently this there's also a rumor that
• 28:38
  they were fired directly after that but it was hushed up and then she basically
• 28:43
  said when you get a new deal somewhere else you can announce that you're
• 28:47
  leaving here and that it was only that the panel was so widely publicized last
• 28:53
  week that everyone went okay let's just let's just all just out this right now
• 28:59
  huh I don't know why they did that panel so such a weird thing to
• 29:03
  do well it makes sense if you know that Disney already sacked them that
• 29:10
  they're pissed off and you know that they maybe don't know where their next
• 29:15
  job's going to come from but I mean yeah but did they not realize like let's do a
• 29:19
  panel where we just kind of confirm yeah we didn't know what we were doing like
• 29:23
  yeah just seems like a weird thing to do unless they're just getting it off the
• 29:27
  chest us if the three of us wrote a [ __ ] TV show and it became the number
• 29:32
  one TV show in the world I think every panel we did would be us going we didn't
• 29:36
  [ __ ] know how we did this I've I've already come up with the idea for our TV
• 29:41
  show go on D was and battar Galactica merge together done pretty sure
• 29:47
  Battlestar Galactica was uh it's literally just Star Wars but hold back
• 29:53
  I'm not yeah yeah yeah but now let's just turn to Star Wars you got a
• 29:56
  Starship you got an X Squadron and it's called Rogue Squadron
• 30:01
  to Rog one two starring [ __ ] D I'm
• 30:07
  also very surprised that they have never done Raiders of the Lost Arc in space
• 30:14
  you're going to say Raiders of Lost Arc
• 30:17
  to Raiders of the Lost arcs yeah like a
• 30:21
  like a alien archaeologist yeah exactly
• 30:25
  B basically it's the exact plot from Raiders except that it's in a Star Wars
• 30:31
  type Universe y yeah and you know there's like an emperor character who
• 30:37
  has you know he's going to get this thing first and it's going to destroy
• 30:41
  some stuff and so this like an alien super weapon yeah
• 30:46
  exactly the fifth element's sort of of element I don't want to hear about the
• 30:51
  Fifth Element I must be the only person on this [ __ ] planet who doesn't like
• 30:55
  that movie and I don't like it a lot really I love that movie I know everyone
• 31:01
  does I'm I'm the one who's missing out because every time I've gone like go
• 31:04
  back give it a chance everyone whose opinions you respect [ __ ] loves this
• 31:09
  you've obviously missed out on something I'll watch it and I'm like what the
• 31:16
  [ __ ] it's fun it's [ __ ]
• 31:20
  garbage it's fun that's the only way I can describe that movie it's just a fun
• 31:26
  movie why do you hate Gary Man Dan why do you hate Gary
• 31:30
  Oldman what did he do to you look I don't know if um if this Benny off and
• 31:35
  Weiss being outed is the Catalyst for Ryan Johnson's confidence returning but
• 31:41
  a couple of weeks ago we we reported that Ryan had come out and said oh you
• 31:45
  know I don't think I they're going to do my trilogy but if they did I'd still be
• 31:48
  up for it um he has he has gone completely 180 on that and he has come
• 31:53
  out and going no no no no I'm still working on it and it's still official
• 31:57
  and uh yeah I didn't mean to say if I meant to say when is it still official
• 32:02
  just because Dy have not mentioned it in a while yeah they've never officially
• 32:07
  fired him because they never officially hired
• 32:11
  him cuz yeah I've has Dy ever spoken about his movies I think it's only been
• 32:17
  him I think I think they might have confirmed it like before last should but
• 32:22
  I think that's it can I just ask though why does everything have to be a [ __ ]
• 32:26
  Trilogy like can you just make one movie it's got to
• 32:30
  be like oh Ryan Johnson's Trilogy Benny offen Weiss's Trilogy like just give
• 32:35
  film and see what happens I think yes they I think they're waiting for Rise of
• 32:38
  Skywalker to S to to announce anything yeah like I mean they've got the
• 32:43
  mandalorian's going to come out that's going to teach them whether or not
• 32:46
  people will watch a series they got one more movie to come out to see whether
• 32:49
  people will watch a movie they probably will and and then this is either going to be
• 32:56
  like when The Avengers [ __ ] ended you know uh
• 33:02
  yeah and you just sort of feel yeah you're not really looking for the next
• 33:06
  thing anymore I'm done I walk away from that and I I kind of feel that I could
• 33:09
  probably walk away from Star Wars after episode 9 but this didn't have to be a Trilogy
• 33:16
  they could have just made episode seven which was pretty good and just man like
• 33:20
  there you go there's your Nostalgia picture it's a 40 it's a 40y old film
• 33:26
  people like for some reason yeah what what is the whole needs to be a Trilogy
• 33:30
  like even The Hobbit they made three MOV [ __ ] it's a 90 page Nolla they turned
• 33:36
  into a three two and a half hour movies all
• 33:41
  [ __ ] yeah I money they want money well they got some yeah but you
• 33:47
  can still make three movies did they make money off the last Hobbit movie I I
• 33:52
  I I can't imagine they did yeah I don't know oh they would yeah that was that
• 33:57
  was filmed them all at the same time the last one was the worst we are the target
• 34:02
  audience for that and I tuned out after the second one and they're lucky I even
• 34:05
  went to that after that [ __ ] abysmal effort they put into the first one no
• 34:10
  the third one was so awful well I only watched part of the third one because I
• 34:15
  went back and watched a fan re-edit the entire Trilogy down to the 2-hour movie
• 34:19
  it should have been and even that it was [ __ ] I still think they did it back to
• 34:24
  front you think they would have done the Hobbit as like a test movie to see Gage
• 34:29
  and then going into yeah except the problem trilogy The Hobbit is not as
• 34:34
  interesting as Lord of the Rings like when you're a kid got three movies when
• 34:37
  you're a kid and you read The Hobbit it's the greatest thing ever until
• 34:40
  you're a teenager and you read Lord of the Rings and you're like [ __ ] The
• 34:43
  Hobbit [ __ ] The Hobbit in the
• 34:48
  ass yeah The Hobbit is really just like high Jinx High Jinx High Jinx High Jinx
• 34:54
  oh [ __ ] Dragon the end yeah silly
• 34:59
  dwarves silly silly dwarves m.com quick
• 35:06
  followup uh on on Rise of Skywalker uh I've got my tickets that's not the
• 35:11
  followup um oh I've got my tickets I have I am not all that excited to be
• 35:16
  completely honest with you and I'm assuming I can go at a 9:00 session or
• 35:20
  something and just walk well we reported the other week because I mean we can go
• 35:24
  back find the article but the TIC there's an article the other week that said um rise of
• 35:30
  Skywalker is has outsold uh Avengers endgame for pre-sale
• 35:36
  just found the article from the other week except now they're reporting that
• 35:39
  it's having a quiet pre-sale so I don't know what's going on there so this is
• 35:43
  the article from the other week Skywalk quietly buy a lot of tickets with the
• 35:48
  launch of pre-sales just four hours ago Star Wars rise of Skywalker is already
• 35:51
  breaking records this was last week and then now they're saying uh
• 35:58
  Guy Walker tracks for a quieter opening so maybe people just went crazy coming
• 36:02
  in behind Avengers endgame this all previous one say almost doubles endgame
• 36:06
  and this one says came in just behind endgame so maybe they in that 4 hours
• 36:11
  they were doubling and it record first four hours and then it slowed down yeah
• 36:16
  fair enough but but yeah I don't we're just not having a good time sort of
• 36:20
  reporting on ticket sales lately he's saying you want to you maybe
• 36:25
  want to back that off a bit yeah yeah cuz that's we I I screwed up the Joker
• 36:31
  and now we've got the Star Wars yeah we're just not good with yeah figures yeah fair
• 36:36
  enough fair enough and we know people come here to get their news and they
• 36:40
  want us to be accurate yeah that's true can we I know we talked about this
• 36:45
  on messenger but this Mandalorian trailer everyone's excited about oh I
• 36:50
  wouldn't say everyone Matt yeah I'm pretty underwhelmed by it everyone else
• 36:53
  is going a [ __ ] Mandalorian trailer is looking [ __ ] great I the the
• 36:58
  teaser that came out a few months ago gave just enough away to be enticing this
• 37:04
  one I don't know man I think they showed a little too
• 37:08
  much I I feel like I should watch this trailer again now I'm thinking about it
• 37:12
  there I was it immediately put me off because of one thing that I know I've
• 37:17
  already brought up with you but MH no I think we all saw it I think we all had
• 37:21
  the same feeling one of the one of the very first things in this trailer is a
• 37:25
  bunch of [ __ ] carbonite Frozen people
• 37:29
  yep and bounty hunters well because and as we in the Empire always bounty
• 37:35
  hunters always capture people in carbonite or do they no they [ __ ]
• 37:41
  don't no in fact it was argued when someone suggested that in [ __ ] Empire
• 37:48
  Strikes Back that that probably wouldn't work and that and that's why they tested
• 37:53
  it on Dar Vader wanted to freeze Luke Skywalker and and they said you'll kill
• 37:58
  him and he said well then I'll test it on Han Solo and see if it works and then
• 38:02
  and the only reason he wanted to do that instead of something else was that he
• 38:06
  happened to be on besin at the time that had one
• 38:10
  freezing now hear me out so cuz this is set
• 38:15
  after the the original trilogy is it do we know that I'm pretty sure it is I
• 38:21
  could be wrong but what I think it it can be is it's not said after the
• 38:26
  original if it's got Boba fed in it well it doesn't well we don't know that
• 38:32
  everyone's [ __ ] saying it will but so solo had [ __ ] Darth Maul
• 38:37
  in it yeah okay Han Solo was hanging up in jab Hut's Palace for quite a while
• 38:43
  and it might have become a thing with gangsters out there that they wanted to
• 38:46
  hang up the people who have sort of crossed them and stuff and it might have
• 38:50
  become the trend so they bought a bunch of [ __ ] gas mining equipment in order
• 38:54
  to do it yes all right all
• 38:58
  right it is I mean but but you're focusing on one part let's just wait and
• 39:05
  see I know I know but I couldn't get past it that's what I'm saying it was
• 39:08
  the first thing in the trailer and then I was just I wasn't even I barely even
• 39:12
  took in the rest of the trailer cuz I was just in my mind just going back
• 39:15
  through it like is there any any evidence to suggest that this is a thing
• 39:18
  people do and I'm like no it's not well the exact same thing as in the prequel
• 39:24
  trilogy when suddenly the [ __ ] helmet with the blast Shield that Han just
• 39:29
  happened to have in his ship when when Obi-Wan kenob wanted to do some training
• 39:33
  with Luke and thought Oh this would be a good idea just whack this on and put the
• 39:36
  blast shield down suddenly 40 years in the past was actually just something
• 39:40
  that all little kids who train with lightsabers have to wear they had Han
• 39:45
  Solo's helmet and yeah yeah I mean they should add a line they should they
• 39:50
  should add a line back in now in A New Hope where he looks around and goes oh
• 39:54
  you've actually got a [ __ ] lightsaber [ __ ] hel training thing here on the
• 39:59
  millenum Falcon that's great luck that and the fact that that [ __ ] Obi-Wan
• 40:06
  Kenobi Ben Kenobi living in the Desert War robes cuz he lived in the desert no
• 40:10
  no all the Jedi War robes that's right they dress like him
• 40:15
  yeah no yeah yeah anyway but just got
• 40:22
  to don't get bogged down in the details that's what ruins entertain for
• 40:28
  people I thought we were Star Wars fans my
• 40:31
  mistake what I a fan I'm not a
• 40:37
  fanatic I just like to enjoy things and I want others to enjoy it with
• 40:42
  mehhh can I um can I talk about something that I enjoyed this week go on
• 40:49
  M um so I don't know what happened the first time around when I watched the first
• 40:54
  episode uh but I went back and checked
• 40:58
  out mind Hunter for uh for a second viewing uh it's [ __ ] excellent and
• 41:05
  man man I I started it on Thursday um at season 1 episode one and I'm now halfway
• 41:10
  through the second season and it's [ __ ] fantastic I love it I'm G to be
• 41:15
  legitimately sad in like two days when I have no more to watch yeah no it's a [ __ ] great
• 41:21
  show really good yeah it really is I watch I watch anything Fincher makes really
• 41:27
  yeah and I I don't know why I but I I do think that the first episode doesn't
• 41:33
  give I mean it sets the tone I guess but I find nothing really compelling started
• 41:38
  to happen until yeah maybe the third episode in so if you didn't just he's
• 41:43
  the hostage negotiation thing right with what's his name and all that it's been a
• 41:47
  while since I watched the first episode but I it was it was different because it
• 41:51
  wasn't yeah the first like the little teaser at the start of the episode where
• 41:54
  he's trying to talk a guy down that that was a great scene
• 41:57
  but then I felt it took a big step back in terms of I don't know excitement I
• 42:02
  guess and I kind of thought oh okay it's it's not really going to be that but it
• 42:06
  does get back to that it just it just kind of it ramps up yeah Luke probably
• 42:12
  wouldn't like it don't know man I don't
• 42:15
  know who knows what I like anymore yeah yeah who knows I mean I'm not sure any
• 42:21
  of them method actors but uh I would say probably not they're all pretty much just
• 42:27
  do and the David Fincher stand and speak quietly to each other yeah the camera
• 42:32
  will move when you move yeah that's right yeah and from a certain point
• 42:37
  onwards in his career Fincher decided that just everything was going to be
• 42:40
  that kind of greeny yellow color that's that's what the so this is
• 42:45
  that too yeah that's what it looks like to fin I think at one stage he got some
• 42:49
  tinted glasses and he was like yeah this that's nice
• 42:55
  yeah yep mine had to good [ __ ] good [ __ ]
• 43:00
  did someone else watch in The Tall Grass yeah I watched it did you watch it yeah
• 43:04
  actually just last night we watched it ah what did you think what's what's in
• 43:07
  the T gr uh Stephen King adaptation on Netflix it was it was all right yeah
• 43:12
  yeah actually quite liked it I I'll be honest I didn't go in with a lot of
• 43:17
  expectations because look I'm a real big fan of some of Stephen King stuff and
• 43:22
  I'm not at all a fan of other Stephen King stuff and that goes double for
• 43:26
  adaptations of his work you know so I was not sure but I thought this was
• 43:31
  pretty good pretty good yeah I liked it it was
• 43:36
  uh slow and I feel like I know it Stephen King is is tough
• 43:43
  cuz I actually watched two other Stephen King films this week I just remembered
• 43:46
  um oh which ones uh I watched it chapter 2 well actually watched chapter one and
• 43:50
  chapter 2 again oh I haven't seen that yet and uh and I watched the pet
• 43:55
  cemetery remake um um oh yeah I've seen
• 43:59
  I've seen the Remake I've seen that yeah H I feel like with with pet cemetery in
• 44:06
  particular I really loved the book pet cemetery and I feel like you can't film
• 44:12
  what I liked about it like yeah yeah does that S I think that's I think
• 44:17
  that's why no one has ever attempted or very few people have attempted to film
• 44:21
  any HP Lovecraft because what you love what's good about those books is not
• 44:26
  something can show on screen yeah like even so take the pet cemetery remake uh
• 44:33
  there a couple I liked it it was fine but it was more of a remake of the
• 44:38
  original film movie and then but then they just did a few little switcher R to
• 44:43
  to trick you like basically was like we know you've seen the other film so we're
• 44:49
  going to get you by by like doing a few little switcheroos and then well I felt
• 44:53
  the carry remake was exactly that as well yeah
• 44:58
  yeah so I don't know it was it was good
• 45:02
  it just was not just read the book because like even even you know they go
• 45:08
  to the pet Symmetry and then there's the the barrier at the back where you and the big
• 45:14
  like yeah I don't even know how to express it like you got the barrier is
• 45:19
  not just a pile of sticks that he has to climb over there's more to it than that
• 45:23
  but you can't film it like mhm it's it's yeah it's hard to explain just read the
• 45:28
  book I'm like that with the Mist you know the Mist yeah yeah yeah I love that
• 45:32
  movie I the the original movie right uh have you seen the Netflix one
• 45:38
  I'm thinking of the Thomas Jane one yeah Thomas Jane I see I didn't love that one
• 45:44
  because I I felt exactly what you've just described about in The Tall Grass
• 45:49
  it's like the in the book The my was just so [ __ ] mysterious like and I
• 45:55
  didn't see what was i w I didn't see what was in there so it could be really
• 46:00
  scary where as soon as I see a CGI tentacle I'm no longer
• 46:05
  scared yeah yeah I guess you're right I think maybe it's just because I was
• 46:09
  willing to switch off and just watch that for what it was uh well they're
• 46:14
  just different I guess maybe like the the movies can't be the same as the
• 46:18
  books because you can't capture that internal stuff on a on film like the the
• 46:23
  stuff that makes it more existential you can't film CU it's it's internal and
• 46:29
  you'll never be able to get that that's why it's hard when you do try and
• 46:33
  convert a book to move because you've gotten your head yeah what it is and
• 46:38
  then when they film it you go that's not what I what I see and then a lot of it
• 46:42
  is what the characters are thinking and feeling and you can't unless they're
• 46:45
  going to say it on the screen it's yeah cuz even I found that when I played
• 46:50
  through the force awakens I then read the book to the
• 46:53
  force awakens and that actually the the force on yeah and yeah when you're going through
• 47:00
  what's thinking anding it actually changes the story you get to experience
• 47:05
  it about more MH mhm that's but that's why Stephen King the best movie
• 47:11
  adaptations are the ones that have no Supernatural elements I think um from my
• 47:16
  point of view the sh Shank Redemption is the the only stepen King adaptation
• 47:22
  that's just absolutely solid this is a great movie nothing one that I really
• 47:27
  like was the stand yeah the stand yeah it's I mean yeah there's another one of
• 47:32
  that coming out there is yeah really yeah you know which actually you know
• 47:37
  which movie I quite liked was the langers oh yeah geez wa it for the CGI
• 47:43
  creatures at the end of yeah but that's the thing yeah yeah yeah but that's okay
• 47:46
  so was a two-parter or at least when it was on Aussie TV it was in two parts the
• 47:50
  first part [ __ ] great people on a plane everyone when they land everyone
• 47:55
  else is gone from the earth great episode 2 CGI
• 48:02
  monsters oh the it chapter 2 was good uh
• 48:07
  I liked it and it I it's been a while since I read the book I feel like they
• 48:12
  did make some changes they actually make jokes about how they don't like the
• 48:17
  endings like the [ __ ] what's his name's character the guy from X-Men
• 48:21
  Xavier his character is an author from der and uh they jokes about how he
• 48:27
  writes Bad Endings and then I mean it's not a spoiler I guess but
• 48:32
  Stephen King is literally in this film telling him that he doesn't like
• 48:36
  the ending of his book no way no way yeah that's a nice little Cho that's so
• 48:43
  good because it's very true I remember what's the um rise of the Dragon heart
• 48:48
  of the dragon eye of the Dragon I have the dragon help me out Matt I have the
• 48:52
  dragon Steve steam king no it's like a I don't know sword and sorcery one it was the
• 48:59
  first or maybe the second uh cuz I think running man I read first but the first
• 49:03
  Stephen King book I read and I was like loving it so much and they got to the
• 49:07
  end and I was like what the [ __ ] what are you doing you just forget
• 49:13
  how to be an author well he he does his uh his if
• 49:18
  you've read on writing his book about writing he Wings it like he just no he
• 49:25
  just sits down and writes from the yeah but he Wings the beginning and the midd
• 49:28
  really really well no that's what I'm saying though there's something about
• 49:31
  him like he's almost correct like he cuz he says that the story is already there
• 49:35
  and he's just a sculptor discovering the statue in the marble that the statue's
• 49:40
  there the whole time Coke yeah yeah CU he does he ties threads together and
• 49:45
  also it makes me wonder like is he full of [ __ ] does he does he do any outlining
• 49:51
  he says he doesn't but then he also calls back things you know really well a
• 49:57
  lot of times and it's like yeah like did he plan that or was he just just as he
• 50:02
  said just [ __ ] He's typing in the stories coming from somewhere else my
• 50:07
  absolute favorite thing that Stephen King does is the story that he sets up
• 50:13
  and then doesn't tell is always what I want to know more about sure you you
• 50:19
  remember dream catcher yeah okay so a group of kids or a group of young men
• 50:26
  had they catch up in this one place at the same time every year and commemorate
• 50:32
  something traumatic that happened to them when they were children and it's so
• 50:37
  interesting and you're like I can't wait to find out what this is well guess what
• 50:41
  you're not going to find out cuz you know what aliens come and that's the story
• 50:47
  now yeah it's like what resolve this [ __ ]
• 50:54
  please well that I remember and also pet cemeter there's that backstory about her
• 50:58
  sister and stuff like that like all that kind of stuff that he puts in that's
• 51:02
  like yeah uh you know like her sister had the I don't know whatever the diseas
• 51:06
  is and it's like [ __ ] that's so terrifying but also like I don't know
• 51:10
  there's call backs to it and stuff like that like do you really didn't plan that
• 51:14
  like you just made that up as you went along yeah but he probably CU it's not
• 51:20
  just he would go back and fill stuff in so he' write it split it all out and
• 51:25
  then he goes back and he do it again it's not like he does it in
• 51:28
  one go yeah or he might say he does but he doesn't he does say that he
• 51:34
  does yeah there's no way you can write all of that and then not go over it
• 51:38
  again and go change stuff I did hear just no sorry L I was just say or is it
• 51:44
  the editor goes in and does the cleaning up yeah or suggests he goes back yeah
• 51:49
  I've put some Aster is where I think you need to [ __ ] make some more
• 51:53
  story but uh I read this uh not read I listened to this interview with um Jeff
• 51:59
  Goldsmith um on the Q&A podcast back when that used to be a thing and he was
• 52:04
  interviewing the guy who wrote um
• 52:08
  Silicon Valley the the sitcom about the
• 52:12
  software developers oh yeah yes yes yes where they jerk everyone off yeah that
• 52:17
  is so good that is so good could you jerk off everyone in this room cuz I
• 52:21
  could and I can prove it so good but uh but Jeff asked him him like you [ __ ]
• 52:28
  set things up in the first season that I thought were throwaway lines that then
• 52:32
  paid off in like the fourth and fifth season how do you do it and his answer
• 52:36
  was so disappointingly simple which he's like well they're not setups they are
• 52:41
  just throwaway lines and then when I'm writing the fourth season I go back and
• 52:44
  rewatch the first season and I think of some things that I could steal from
• 52:48
  there that that we could then bring back in and it's like oh yeah I guess I guess
• 52:54
  that is how you do that but of course you want to think that everything was
• 52:59
  planned all along but it probably wasn't I I I get that but also that's what JJ
• 53:05
  Abrams does and people believe T Lessa success sometimes you know with like
• 53:10
  lost like that's how lost worked there was just a lot of it the
• 53:14
  the the creator of Babylon 5 he actually knew what he was doing throughout the entire
• 53:20
  thing so no no I'm seriously he wouldn't let people add lib because stuff he set
• 53:26
  up in season one I think in season 2 or three oh like they went back to be very
• 53:32
  they had to go back and yeah cuz it was like stuff that in season one like you
• 53:38
  have no idea what this means but it becomes clearer in season 3 yeah right
• 53:43
  when they go time traveling who no 's I love Bon 5 who's
• 53:48
  the director that gets shitty about that like just read the [ __ ] words as
• 53:52
  they're written I can't I mean I feel like maybe I was thinking maybe maybe kubri
• 53:58
  used to do that no kubri used to get the shits about people [ __ ] with the
• 54:01
  lenses and stuff I know that I think Lucas is also one of uh this is the
• 54:06
  script yeah just read the words as they're written yeah yeah faster more
• 54:10
  intense yeah no you don't get to yeah you don't get to do yeah change it up
• 54:13
  this is what I wrote this is what you read done yeah I think there's a few
• 54:18
  people out there not me I'll never always change it up somehow yeah you'll
• 54:23
  go 180 on the on the [ __ ] script just stop
• 54:29
  masturbating so okay I want to know should I go see
• 54:33
  Terminator almost said fart date because that's what's written here
• 54:37
  now thank you thank you Terminator dark F be here all week I'm going to go see
• 54:42
  it I'm not I will Luke okay you've seen
• 54:46
  it yes okay convince me that I should bother getting off my [ __ ] couch and
• 54:51
  going to see this did you like Terminator 2 I [ __ ] love Terminator 2
• 54:55
  it's one of my favorite okay well I didn't think it would be
• 55:00
  that's why I'm not going to go and see it but I've seen all the other I've seen
• 55:06
  all the other Terminator movies and they were all [ __ ] it's a lot better than everything
• 55:12
  else that came after two okay better than Terminator
• 55:18
  Genesis yes yeah not hard there one thing I was just going to say but
• 55:23
  there's one thing what about Terminator alation I one where
• 55:28
  yes there's one thing I didn't quite like about it is there's stuff in there
• 55:32
  that I wish I had have explained more okay there's just things that are a bit
• 55:36
  throw away which I I found a little annoying but and also some jokes which
• 55:41
  they just don't put jokes in Terminator movie people or a little spin on a
• 55:47
  little spin on something and I'm s it doesn't need to be there look I'll be
• 55:50
  honest like my my favorite of the [ __ ] Terminator movies is Genesis no [ __ ]
• 55:55
  not genes is salvation genis is [ __ ] garbage um because I think that actually
• 56:01
  brought all right yeah it's all right yeah okay it's all right I mean none of
• 56:06
  them are as bad as [ __ ] Terminator 3 which should never have existed rise of
• 56:11
  the Machines there is a there's an edit of Terminator 3 that's better oh really
• 56:16
  uh yeah because it doesn't have CLA Dan's in it no she's in it but it's
• 56:20
  there's no women in [Laughter] it uh it just yeah replaces them all
• 56:27
  with CGI Anie um I would watch he just plays every character every character is
• 56:33
  just an Sports Niger um no uh it's I can't remember what they named it but
• 56:39
  it's some fan edit that that's better of Terminator interes but look I will tell
• 56:43
  you right now you have paid to go see moves that are a lot worse than this you
• 56:47
  should go and see it convincing argument I adore Luke's [ __ ] quotes for movie
• 56:53
  posters here you've seen a lot of that are a lot worse than
• 56:59
  this you might as well go and see this
• 57:07
  one wonderful yeah it's sort of like a mhup of one and two okay I mean look if
• 57:13
  that's what it is if you're correct about this then that sounds absolutely
• 57:17
  fine to me mhm go see it let me know in two weeks what you think all right got
• 57:22
  Linda Hamilton in it how bad can it be yeah yeah I mean y yep she was certainly
• 57:28
  a very very good part of the second movie yeah and the first one I do like
• 57:34
  it well I mean she was just a screaming woman in the first one she didn't really
• 57:37
  have much of a character to play she she developed at the end she killed the
• 57:41
  terator she did and and then of course the second movie was all about her
• 57:45
  spoilers again um no no all good all good uh I'm excited that she's you know
• 57:51
  returned mhm mhm if if that's NE acting in general yeah well
• 57:58
  now now Arie is not in this right he is he is of course he is he not make it a
• 58:04
  Terminator movie man I I heard this touted is the first one he hasn't come back
• 58:08
  for now he's in it really no no definitely okay right yeah okay there
• 58:15
  you go he's in the trailer so like full on in it yeah okay I I'll be honest I think that
• 58:20
  I I don't I don't even know if I've watched the trailer I just don't I'm
• 58:24
  just not excited for another [ __ ] Terminator move movie directed by Tim
• 58:27
  Miller who did Deadpool Yeah Tim Miller's great it's this is so weird
• 58:32
  because yeah it is it's it just ignores everything all the movies that came
• 58:37
  after two yeah it's a sequel to two it's a sequel to two Okay yeah but yeah hold
• 58:42
  on but Genesis was supposed to only be a sequel to two as
• 58:46
  well it's um the idea I guess is uh
• 58:51
  there are alternate timelines this is a sequel to two that happens in this
• 58:55
  timeline and then they're just gonna keep making movies of a sequel to
• 59:01
  the good ones until we get it right did you like which one do you like okay this
• 59:05
  one's a sequel to that one and eventually there'll just be a series of movies that people
• 59:10
  like yeah yeah bring back Michael Bean that's all I'm going to say about it I
• 59:16
  know I think something they should maybe try and do for a terminat movie is
• 59:20
  actually just have it in the future yeah I'm surprised they haven't done that yet
• 59:25
  and story about how no no no but Salvation was like still yeah I guess so
• 59:31
  but Salvation still assumed there's already been time travel happening oh
• 59:36
  yeah I'm surprised movie leading up to how they get the time travel ability
• 59:40
  almost like a prequel but in said in the future yeah cuz I think that could be
• 59:46
  interesting like about how the humans find out about years ago would have been
• 59:51
  interesting now I don't
• 59:55
  know SP Michael bean I I uh I listened to the I've almost finished I'm I'm
• 1:00:01
  having trouble getting through it the audible Alien 3 William Gibson alien 3
• 1:00:07
  oh sure recording which is it oh you're having trouble getting through it are
• 1:00:11
  you it's it's a performance it's not just a like a reading of a book or
• 1:00:16
  anything and it's yeah I know I thought that would make it better no I don't
• 1:00:20
  know it's got easier to get through Lance Hendrickson's good in it Michael
• 1:00:24
  Bean not I don't know he just just phoned it in I don't know he phoned it
• 1:00:29
  in I think he maybe he's he wasn't ever a bad actor but he
• 1:00:33
  wasn't like I don't know he's not he's no Luke Alison you
• 1:00:39
  know MH yeah but maybe you just didn't want to do it I guess I guess and voice
• 1:00:44
  acting is different which is what this is voice acting you've got to like so
• 1:00:48
  the way that this is done cuz it's voice only they kind of have to describe what
• 1:00:52
  they're doing and then I don't know I just so it's like a radio play yeah it
• 1:00:57
  literally is a radio play yes and and I I've just found it to be a little
• 1:01:01
  bit like I don't know maybe it's just the format that I don't like and Lance
• 1:01:08
  HRI gets a pass just because but it's just yeah because because it's Lance
• 1:01:13
  Hendrickson just just his I was actually looking forward to it CU I was actually
• 1:01:17
  going to hey look maybe may like it maybe you'll like it use some of those
• 1:01:22
  credits before they expire yeah how many credit credit do I have
• 1:01:27
  now let me just check I feel like I know we talked about this but I feel like
• 1:01:31
  there was a class action lawsuit about this too the audible credits
• 1:01:36
  specifically huh the fact that they expire but people don't know that they
• 1:01:39
  expire as evidenced by the fact that Luke didn't know that he
• 1:01:42
  expire yeah it's not really clear and it doesn't really make sense why they would
• 1:01:47
  expire well because you're not you're I mean yeah I guess not well it's part of
• 1:01:52
  the terms of your subscription I guess yeah because you're paying for
• 1:01:56
  subscrition not for the not for the points no but I could understand like
• 1:01:59
  the license like the license might go away but if I haven't actually used the
• 1:02:03
  credit to buy a license because the thing is though the books don't expire
• 1:02:08
  if you cancel your subscription you still have the books that you bought
• 1:02:10
  with the credits so it's kind of weird yes yeah so why would my credits expire
• 1:02:15
  I don't know I think that well I mean that used to be common if you're the
• 1:02:18
  customer service representative at audible right in podcast multile
• 1:02:22
  nasm.com nasm on Twitter multi on Instagram and Facebook and um let us
• 1:02:29
  know why Luke can't just get whatever he wants anytime he wants when I want has
• 1:02:35
  Do It show me how many credits I have got a store maybe browse it should just
• 1:02:42
  be in the [ __ ] title bar I have five credits at the moment there you go grab
• 1:02:47
  yourself some books it's going to take you a while to read five books
• 1:02:50
  mate well the great thing is I don't even have to read them before before we move have to
• 1:02:56
  oh yeah I see what you're saying before we move into the Afterparty I do want to
• 1:03:00
  mention this uh this announcement this week uh as we talked previously people
• 1:03:06
  were mad at blizzard over there you know what happened with the with the with the
• 1:03:11
  Hong Kong uh announ you know people saying save the people of Hong Kong
• 1:03:16
  during the the Hearthstone tournament blizzard fired them and all this bad
• 1:03:20
  stuff happened everyone was mad at blizzard uh but now they've announced
• 1:03:23
  Diablo 4 so all's forgiven and Carry On never mind for forget all about
• 1:03:28
  it I must say and I'll say again from what I said about Diablo 3 when it came
• 1:03:34
  out too uh eventually um this looks really pretty and it looks just like
• 1:03:40
  Diablo I except shinier and Diablo I was a game I liked very very much when there
• 1:03:46
  weren't many games to playh he just on stuff I don't know if I
• 1:03:52
  want to just [ __ ] give my mouse and forefinger the work out that uh that
• 1:03:57
  Diablo requires yeah in the year 2019 you know but yeah it is very much hey
• 1:04:03
  we've announced this and everyone's sort of not as vocal anymore that Blizzard's
• 1:04:09
  evil yep yeah because they've got this game about
• 1:04:13
  demons yep the internet why while the internet remembers everything it also
• 1:04:19
  forgets very quickly does yeah it sure does that's why like uh I feel like
• 1:04:26
  the worst thing people can do when they get you know caught up in like an
• 1:04:30
  internet shaming [ __ ] thing is the worst thing you can do is just engage
• 1:04:35
  with it the best thing you can do is what just wait it out like projared did
• 1:04:41
  recently when when all that stuff with him happened with his his wife saying
• 1:04:45
  that he was cheating on her and everyone blew up and he was sending nudes of
• 1:04:48
  himself to fans all that kind of stuff he just went away for six months and
• 1:04:52
  came back and now everything's fine again yeah yeah
• 1:04:56
  and and on a huge kind of scale that's basically what Louis CK did as well he
• 1:05:03
  was like what people are still mad yeah they are but he just shut up didn't
• 1:05:08
  engage and now he's just kind of slowly creeping back yeah he's just announced a
• 1:05:12
  tour yeah just go away for a bit James gun went off social media he's back now
• 1:05:18
  yeah that's it yeah he's back and he got the very job he got fired
• 1:05:23
  from plus a bonus job yeah plus an extra brother one yeah y just just an extra
• 1:05:29
  paycheck blizzard just kind of ignoring everything I guess oh they they did a
• 1:05:34
  half-hearted apology that's to be fair they did say uh sorry you didn't like
• 1:05:38
  the way we handled it but they did so the one of the good things is they
• 1:05:43
  didn't actually give the guy his winnings and stuff like that yeah yeah
• 1:05:47
  but their apology was we're sorry we didn't communicate our uh opinion on the
• 1:05:53
  Hong Kong thing clearly enough with our fans so what they're saying is we're not
• 1:05:56
  sorry that we fired the guy we're sorry we're sorry you didn't know we were
• 1:06:00
  going to do that yeah we're sorry that you didn't know that we were anti that
• 1:06:05
  yeah we're sorry you didn't realize we support China it's just it's not so much that
• 1:06:11
  they support China it's just they love money yes yeah if you love money you've
• 1:06:16
  got to support China after party yeah well I mean that's all for blizzard but
