Fist Our Bumps: Project Hail Mary Review & Firefly Announcement Tease · Multiple Nerdgasm

0:00
Yes, yes, it's definitely my fault that we're late to
0:02
recording, but I had a very good reason.
0:06
Did you have a car accident? I went to the pub.
0:12
Welcome to Multiple Nerd Gasm, a comedy show about all things
0:18
nerdy. Right.
0:23
So it's worse. It's worse.
0:26
I went to a pub and I was just sitting down.
0:27
I was going to watch the football, have a couple of
0:29
beers. So I went, oh, what sort of
0:30
movies? Thinking I might go see like The
0:31
Bride or no, just something. And all of a sudden I see
0:35
Advanced Screening Project Hail Mary at 7:00 and I went, I might
0:41
go and see that. That's a wise choice.
0:45
You know what? That.
0:45
Was a wise choice. I could.
0:47
Forgive that. Yep, and.
0:50
I've heard, I've heard, I've read that it's very good.
0:54
I can tell you it's very good. OK, good.
0:58
I enjoyed it and. Excellent.
1:00
But when you were saying like those spoilers in the in the
1:03
trailers and stuff, I think the biggest spoiler is not in the
1:07
trailer at. All.
1:08
No, I agree. I agree.
1:09
Yeah, but still. There's one spoiler in there
1:11
that's. Yeah.
1:12
No, no, I know, I know. But but the the yeah.
1:17
I laughed. I cried.
1:20
Good. I mean, I'm glad.
1:23
I'm glad you cried because I didn't get to see it.
1:24
So you shouldn't be sad about it.
1:26
It wasn't an. Emotional roller coaster.
1:29
It's honestly, it's my favorite book I've read in a very, very
1:32
long time. And I know I just with the
1:35
spoiler thing, it's, I mean, we could talk about it because the,
1:38
the, the thing I'm talking about is in literally in the trailers,
1:40
it's on the poster and everybody knows because yeah, except I've
1:43
somehow managed to shield Jenna from it, but.
1:45
The most recent trailer is even more like yeah, explained it a
1:50
lot more. The existence of Rocky the alien
1:54
was a complete surprise to me when I read the book because
1:58
there's no way to know that. And, and it's, and it's
2:01
different from his other books because his other books, you
2:03
know, the Martian, so humans, Mars, it's very, you know,
2:10
Artemis, it's on the moon again, this one, it's still very
2:14
grounded in science and everything like that.
2:16
But it's got a little bit more of a fantasy feel like a science
2:20
fiction. Yeah.
2:23
And so when I was reading the book and Rocky showed up, I was
2:28
like, holy shit. Like, but I guess like we talked
2:33
about originally when the trailer came out, I guess they
2:36
didn't want to risk people going to see it and then being like,
2:40
oh. From the trailers, I think this
2:44
is a spoiler, but from the trailers that are out now I
2:46
don't think it is. It's basically the Sons are all
2:50
dying and they don't know why except for one sun.
2:54
So they send the spaceship off and Rocky Rocky's planet has
2:58
done the same thing and they made-up and stuff happens.
3:02
Yes, yeah, yeah. And so all of that I it's, it's
3:06
just that my experience that I enjoyed so much, I didn't know
3:10
any of that in advance. And so all of it was a surprise.
3:13
And so it just when I saw the trailer, which I mean, this is
3:16
how all movie trailers work. Like they want they try to hook
3:18
you. So just when I saw the trailer,
3:21
I was like, why are you giving that away?
3:22
Because like I said, I was like, I want everyone to have my
3:25
experience where I just, but I mean, it doesn't work like that
3:28
so. Just the first time Rocky just
3:32
rocks up on the ship and it's just sort of like this place is
3:35
a mess. Where's my room?
3:37
I I just loved it. Yeah, OK, good.
3:40
I'm I'm glad you gotta. Enjoy it.
3:42
I did. There was an advanced screening
3:44
here, but I, you know, I have a child.
3:48
I think it's on. I think it was on Monday
3:50
actually this week, but I just can't do it so.
3:52
Yeah, no, I just got a shock when I saw normally adventure
3:55
screenings are a lot closer to the release date than like,
3:58
yeah. Comes out here.
4:00
It comes out here Thursday. Yeah, it comes out here Thursday
4:03
as well. So like, it's still another
4:04
like, good, what, 656 days away? Yeah, well, by the time you hear
4:10
this witnesses, it'll be either tomorrow or now.
4:13
Yes, or or it's already out. Yeah, no, I I really, really
4:18
enjoyed it. Oh, great.
4:20
I'm glad. Yeah, the reviews are very
4:21
positive. That was the article I put in
4:23
here. It's just that that, yeah,
4:24
people have been very. Complimentary and also what I
4:28
noticed with the audience in there was an older audience.
4:31
Yeah, OK. When I say older, I'm talking
4:34
about our age, so we're like just teenagers and stuff.
4:37
I see young people like us, is what?
4:39
You're saying yeah, yeah, yeah. It's all young people like us.
4:42
Good, good. But no, yeah, guys say you'll
4:46
love it. I will go see it and I will love
4:50
it. I'm sure I will.
4:51
Yeah. Yeah, I might go see it at the
4:53
Alamo while we're at PAX. I'll see.
4:55
Depends on. What?
4:56
There's just one thing that confused me.
4:57
The timeline like how long it takes to get 2 places confused
5:01
me a little bit at the end but that's.
5:02
Oh, OK. Neither here nor there.
5:04
I just think that someone aged a lot more than they would have
5:10
given the time frame than it's meant to have been.
5:13
Oh, OK, interesting. I don't, I don't know.
5:19
I have to wait and see. Yeah, yeah.
5:20
It's just, it's not nothing big. It's just, yeah, just confused
5:25
me because it's about to take like 4 years to get to where
5:28
they're going because they're in like close to lightspeed and
5:31
stuff like that. And it just seems that Earth has
5:34
progressed a lot faster. But that is lightspeed though,
5:37
isn't it? Yes.
5:39
Yes. So no, that is actually correct.
5:41
So don't never mind me. OK.
5:43
Yes, that's how that works. All right.
5:47
The closer you are, the lightspeed to sort of, yeah,
5:49
you'll sort of slow down in time and that would like flight of
5:54
the navigator. Yes, that's right.
5:58
Or interstellar. Well.
6:00
Actually, that's different. No, wait, that's different.
6:02
That's different. That's.
6:02
I like myself from Flight of the Navigator.
6:06
I loved that movie when I was a kid.
6:07
It's been a long time since I watched it.
6:09
I should watch it again. I should.
6:11
I think I should as well. I think it might hold up maybe.
6:14
Yeah, I don't know. Don't know.
6:17
Just the idea of a kid flying a fucking spaceship.
6:19
Yeah, like. Yeah, make more movies like
6:22
that, I say. Well, they did.
6:24
They just made it. It's called Project Hail Mary
6:26
and we just got this guide, but he's.
6:29
Not a kid. But it's a guy who makes friends
6:32
with another alien, which is the place I know.
6:33
Flight of the Navigator. That's fair.
6:40
In other movie news, they've announced with very little
6:43
detail that K Pop Demon Hunters 2 is happening, which is not
6:47
really a surprise given the success of the first one, but
6:52
yeah. You know what's going to happen?
6:54
Like yeah, I still haven't seen. I was going to say, I was going
6:56
to ask, did you watch it? No, you should watch it.
6:58
It's good. I know, but it's it is for kids,
7:01
isn't it? It isn't.
7:04
It isn't. I think it's it's, I think it's
7:06
one of those movies that doesn't really matter.
7:09
But yeah, definitely knew that was going to get a sequel, how
7:12
popular that was across the board.
7:14
What I am surprised about is the other announcement that came out
7:17
this week that we might be getting another Conan.
7:21
Yeah. An actual sequel?
7:24
Conan. I think it's called right
7:26
without it, as in, yeah, so Arnie said this week.
7:29
I mean, he said a lot actually, He said.
7:32
According to him, they're like approaching him about all sorts
7:35
of shit. Like he said they got.
7:37
They want him to do a Predator movie.
7:39
They want him to do fucking Commando 2.
7:42
But the one that's actually announced?
7:44
And I think plausible. Yeah, is is Conan, King Conan,
7:50
and it's the writer director of the Mission Impossible movies.
7:53
What's Christopher Macquarie is? And I'm, I'm sort of from, what
7:59
do you think? Even announced?
8:00
I'm sort of all in. It's like Conan.
8:02
Yeah, why not? Let's do it.
8:04
Sat in the throne. He's been king for 40 years and.
8:08
Yeah, let's do it. So, yeah, yeah.
8:11
Crown of Iron King. Crown of Iron.
8:14
Having another predator and another commander, I don't think
8:17
that's I think. That's so we didn't talk about
8:21
this the other week, but when I watched, I watched Predator
8:24
Badlands and then there was an article I put in there that
8:26
mentioned this and I forgot to bring it up, but, and this is
8:30
something I don't like that they're doing now.
8:33
He said this. Dan Trachtenberg, the director
8:35
of Predator Badlands, also director of Prey, which is very
8:40
good. Prey.
8:41
Yeah. Prey Badlands didn't like.
8:44
He said that they cut a scene down.
8:46
There's a scene in Predator Badlands where this is right at
8:51
the start. It's not really a spoiler.
8:52
Obviously he has to go to a planet and kill something
8:55
because that's how the culture works.
8:58
The the yeah. It's basically the coming of age
9:01
is them going and guttering stuff.
9:04
And there's something about, I forget the specifics, but on the
9:09
screens something comes up related to alien or aliens.
9:16
And then that got him on track saying in the animated series,
9:22
oh, he's there. Hang on.
9:23
You know what? I'm confusing myself now.
9:24
Was this actually in the animated series?
9:27
They either did or they wanted to do this thing where on one of
9:30
the Predator planets frozen in ice, they had Annie, Danny
9:38
Glover and the girl from Prey, like the Predator had captured
9:42
them. And I was like, I hate that.
9:44
That's that's stupid. That would make no sense.
9:48
That sort of spoils the other 3 movies.
9:51
And like that was a thing he mentioned, like oh, that was a
9:53
cool thing. And I forget this may let us
9:55
know because I haven't seen the animated one.
9:57
What is it? Predator something.
10:00
Yeah, that just hunters. Hunters or something?
10:02
Those 3 movies that. Yeah, they just, they just went
10:05
back and got them. Yeah.
10:08
Let's see Annie and Ice Predator.
10:12
I'm. Going to have to go to the
10:14
animated series. Yeah, no, I'm sure it is.
10:19
But but Dan Trachterberg did both of them killer of killers.
10:25
And he thought it was a good idea to just, even though Danny
10:29
Glover, Arnie, all one the Predators just came back and
10:33
took him and went. Now it frees you.
10:37
Yeah, I hate that. I hate that.
10:39
That's stupid. Makes no sense.
10:42
Sorry, yeah, I'm so surprised that I don't like the direction
10:45
he's taking this so far because I love.
10:47
For sure after pray was so good. Pray was so good, like he did 10
10:50
Cloverfield Lane and like, I don't know, I was like, oh, yay,
10:54
he knows what he's doing. And then now, I don't know, just
10:57
got off the rails as far as I'm concerned.
11:01
But yeah, disappointing. Oh, and Speaking of going off
11:05
the rails, there's this other article in here that apparently
11:10
Zach Kreger, who did Barbarian and Weapons, both excellent
11:16
horror movies and also famous for the greatest he's the he's
11:23
the businessman who's. Shocked by the mail, He's the.
11:27
He's from what is kids, you know, he is the the person who's
11:31
like, I think it's too much. I just think it's too much.
11:35
Went on to become a director of some very good horror movies and
11:37
he's doing the new Resident Evil and apparently the script leaked
11:42
and it's very considered very likely to be the real script and
11:47
and people have been very surprised by it.
11:52
Apparently it's a it's a little comedy romp through Raccoon City
11:58
in a way that people were like, what is this like?
12:01
There was a bit that said whereas as a scene.
12:07
Come on. Okay.
12:09
According to those who read it, the story revolves around the
12:11
main character, an organ. Sorry, this might be a spoiler
12:14
of this movie. It does like spoiler walling.
12:16
Don't read ahead. So if you if you don't want to
12:20
be spoiled for this Resident Evil movie that this might be
12:22
the script for, skip ahead slightly here.
12:25
According to those who read it, the story revolves around the
12:27
main character, an organ Courier named Brian in his attempt to
12:30
reach his pregnant wife in Raccoon City.
12:32
It's very comedy heavy slapstick sort of affair with Brian racing
12:36
against time due to being infected with the T virus and
12:40
getting into a bunch of silly zombie related misfortune along
12:42
the way, including run insurance with zombie dogs, zombie
12:45
toddlers, and an overweight acid spitting zombie.
12:50
So I mean, that could be great, but it is odd given the tone of
12:56
the games now. Yes, because the games have gone
12:59
very, very. Like they are not funny.
13:02
There's nothing funny about these games anymore.
13:05
But it would be. But if you look at the movies,
13:07
the movies I stopped, I stopped out of the movies and the
13:13
direction they went after I think about 3.
13:15
Isn't there like 9 with Mila? I think there's at least six or
13:19
seven. It could be.
13:20
It could be 9 for all I know. Yeah, they got they they just.
13:23
Yeah, they went very off the rails too.
13:25
Yeah. So this could be a good sort of
13:27
reset for the movie. I could say they were very
13:30
successful though. Actually, I remember seeing a
13:32
video about like, because people were like, why did these get
13:35
made? And then it's actually they were
13:37
very successful, like really at the movies.
13:39
Yeah, people went and saw them. I.
13:41
Don't know, but this could be a nice sort of like reset for the
13:44
movie like Resident Evil 7 was for the games.
13:49
Right, yeah, but in a very different direction seemingly,
13:51
yes. I think that's the that's The
13:53
thing is that the the last couple and the new one are so
13:57
dark and you know, like not funny and this just sounds.
14:03
They could make this without throwing Resident Evil on there.
14:08
It's Shaun of the Dead. Yeah.
14:11
Like, yeah. Like I I would probably go
14:15
serious and find it amusing, but.
14:17
I mean, it's, I have faith so far that this will probably be
14:22
very good and very funny. It's just like, like I said, I
14:25
think people are just like what? And also I'm in a way, I'm glad
14:30
if this is true. I'm kind of glad it leaked so
14:33
that ahead of time we can know, like just know what this is.
14:38
I don't know related misfortunes with like the zombie toddlers.
14:42
I would go see that. Yes, yeah.
14:44
I mean, it sounds very funny and good.
14:46
I just think people who don't know are going to be like,
14:50
where's what's her name? Madame Democrat, Lady Democrats
14:54
Tresque Dematres. Well, now they're all about Leon
14:57
being back, aren't they? I've seen a lot of stuff about
15:01
Leon. Leon's in the new one, yes.
15:03
He's in the new one. Yeah, well, he's been popping up
15:06
in them. He's in?
15:07
Yeah, a few of them. I think the first one he's back
15:09
is the like since 4:00. Yeah, yeah.
15:15
OK. Well, you had listen to Leon
15:16
every 5 seconds. Yeah, so.
15:21
Can you say the president's daughter, who was just a whiny
15:23
bitch? That's right, the blonde girl.
15:27
Yeah, but although I replayed that so many times because.
15:31
I've got the remake, I've got to play it.
15:33
It just, it was a good game. It was a good game and then
15:36
because you get up the key for your weapons, New game plus, and
15:38
you keep going and finding more stuff and better in your
15:41
weapons, the game just got easier and easier but actually
15:44
just fun as well. Yeah, Dave had the chainsaw
15:47
controller for that. That was that was fun.
15:52
It actually worked quite well for it.
15:55
The new, apparently the US and evil games, Excellent.
15:57
I just don't have it. It's it's I think I talked about
15:59
it last week. It's very expensive.
16:02
Yes, I'm I'm going to wait for it to go on sale.
16:08
Yeah, and as I sent you guys a screenshot of the other day,
16:12
I've been very busy. Yes, I finally built my first
16:16
ornithopter in June Awakening so you know I don't have time was.
16:20
That an exciting time. It was very exciting.
16:23
I even this is so I don't get a lot of time to play right.
16:26
So I get a couple of hours every couple of days kind of thing.
16:29
And I got all the resources I need needed to do it.
16:34
Finally, I had to grind this this particular location a
16:38
couple times to get enough of certain things.
16:41
And then I got all the stuff I needed and I manufactured all
16:44
the parts. And then I looked at the time
16:47
and I was like, OK, And I put them all in a crate and I logged
16:51
off and I was like, next time I play that's.
16:54
The first thing you know. I'm going to log on and I'm
16:57
going to build my own ethopter and I'm going to fly.
16:58
I'm not going to do it right now just because I'll it.
17:01
It was already like like 11:30 or something.
17:04
And I was like no, the service had to roll back again.
17:07
Oh my God don't even. Oh it's another bonus resource
17:10
weekend. So they had another issue with
17:14
it. Where the in game currency is
17:17
Solari, But like, so you, you get solari as the currency you
17:21
buy things, you trade. There's like a, a market like
17:26
you know, like you can trade things with other people, like
17:29
actual as actual economy in the game marketplace.
17:32
And then I guess somebody figured out apparently this
17:35
happened once before early on and they fixed it.
17:37
Now it happened again. There was a duping issue where
17:42
something about when you go to the bank you can enter numbers a
17:47
specific way where it's like someone speculated it's like a
17:51
32 point float number and if you put a certain number in it gets
17:55
confused and it becomes a. Negative.
17:57
And then you end up with double your money back and you just
18:01
keep doing it and doing it and doing it and doing it.
18:02
And then now you go to the market and everything is like a
18:04
billion dollars and it's yeah. And it basically ruined the
18:10
yeah, trash the economy. And so they have patched it.
18:15
They have banned anybody who did it, which I thought was like,
18:20
oh, interesting, because some people might have just read
18:24
about it and given it a try. So I wonder how if there?
18:27
Was a limit to. Like there's giving it a try and
18:31
then there's doing it because they tell out of.
18:34
It, yeah, 'cause I just thought it's interesting because it's
18:36
something that like, like, I wouldn't do it because like
18:40
doesn't interest me, but I could see how like if you read all
18:43
this bug and then you just gave it a try, like yeah, so that
18:47
would. Be a shame, ruined the game for
18:49
everyone else. That's people, people unread.
18:51
So I'm not even I'm not even up to that.
18:53
I'm still making my way through the the main campaign and
18:56
everything like that. But people who were at the end
18:58
game said I'm not playing anymore until this is fixed
19:01
because it literally ruins what they're doing in the end game.
19:05
So yeah. Well, I think a ban's sort of
19:09
worth it because it's not like you're paying a subscription for
19:13
the game, so. No, no, that's true.
19:16
Like, yeah, like banning that copy.
19:18
Like if you want to play again, you're going to go buy a brand
19:20
new copy and. Yes, well that was the other
19:23
thing people were pissed off about.
19:24
So it's on sale right now if anyone's interested.
19:26
It's like 40% off for the game right now.
19:29
And people were pissed off because they this Juke bug came
19:33
out and then it went on sale. And so all these new accounts
19:37
because all the scammers are like, oh fuck yeah, let's buy a
19:39
bunch more accounts and like, well, that's it.
19:43
Like made it even worse. It's what happens with like all
19:45
the Counter Strike streamers, because Counter Strike's 5
19:48
bucks. So people, they don't, they
19:50
don't care if they can lose another 5 bucks or buy another
19:54
one. Yes, but anyway, that's all
19:58
fixed now apparently and I like I said, I've not even, I was not
20:02
even aware of it in game. I was only aware of it on the
20:05
subreddit and I'm in the discord for now as well.
20:07
Yeah yeah. Speaking of bands though, I've
20:13
got 1 here that should chill you slightly.
20:18
The top this is not an Xbox related, but the top PlayStation
20:22
trophy hunter so on on PlayStation, instead of gamer
20:25
score, you have trophies yes and the number one in the world on
20:31
PlayStation. We get the timeline straight
20:35
here. What happened is he kind of
20:38
retired last year in October because his account got hacked
20:42
and they took it. They took it and they tried to
20:44
extort him for money and so he said fuck it, you're not getting
20:47
anything. And then because he didn't pay
20:51
them or whatever, apparently they gave it back in the end and
20:57
so it. Was like, well, yeah, that's
20:59
weird. Well, so that that happened and
21:03
then he did an article like a little a little short time ago,
21:06
like maybe a couple weeks ago with I think PC Gamer mag or
21:09
whatever where he talked about it.
21:11
And he apparently because of the way he described the hacker, the
21:17
hacker got really pissed off. Hacked him.
21:20
Again and got him perma banned by sending he thinks sending
21:26
offensive messages to PlayStation support and got his
21:29
account perma banned and then said fuck you that's what you
21:33
get for talking about me like that get.
21:37
Terrible. That's sort of his.
21:41
Every now and again I do get a message that I I someone to
21:45
reset your password and I have to log in and try and reset my
21:47
password because I'm very nervous.
21:49
About it, Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't click the e-mail links.
21:52
No, I don't click the e-mail. I will go and log on through
21:55
xbox.com and there's no. Advance now you get like phone
22:00
calls and it'll literally say on the caller ID it's Google and
22:03
then. But I have to be careful because
22:06
my account's sort of getting up there and one of the ones that
22:08
people would like to. Yes, it's desirable.
22:11
Yeah, Yeah. Oh.
22:12
Oh, I've got nothing to worry about.
22:13
What? I haven't checked my gamerscore
22:16
in a while. Oh boy.
22:18
I hit 4 million. There you go.
22:22
Wait, I knew that. I liked a a post about that
22:24
somewhere. Oh really?
22:26
I think I knew that. I didn't 4,033,591 there.
22:33
You go holy crap. I think maybe it got tweeted and
22:36
I liked. It oh, maybe I'm still going to
22:37
set up my Twitter. I set that up years ago and I've
22:40
never logged onto Twitter again. Yes, I, I, I can't remember
22:44
either. It must have been a little while
22:45
ago because I don't. Anyway, whatever did not really
22:48
well, congratulations 4 million. 4 million and I'm never going to
22:53
get 50 in Australia because they're already 5.3.
22:56
Jesus. But he's.
22:58
About playing some shite. I do believe me.
23:04
I believe you. I played the same game three
23:06
times over. And don't click any links to
23:09
reset your password. No like what I played today.
23:13
I played steam punk, steam punch lost tombs 3 times.
23:18
He had 6000 gamer score. Fucking hell, it's so stupid.
23:27
And I don't know why but I can't help myself.
23:31
That's fair, all. Right, I have a problem.
23:36
So as I mentioned the other week, I play Doon Awakening
23:39
using GeForce Now, which I enjoy because $100 a year I can get
23:44
access to a pretend PC server that I can.
23:47
Play all the games that you own. Yeah, and it works really,
23:50
really well. And we talked about the other
23:52
week how it's a shame that they don't have GOG support and your
23:55
Xbox thing has GOG support and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
23:58
They listen to the show, obviously.
24:00
And so at GDC just the other day, they've announced GOG is
24:06
coming and they're going to be syncing your GOG library too.
24:10
And I'm just fucking excited about that.
24:13
That is excellent news because GOG has.
24:15
So many great games. Well, basically they're great
24:19
games because they're the games we grew up playing.
24:21
Well, that so so it's an easy win for them, right?
24:26
Because I it doesn't they haven't confirmed what games on
24:30
GOG because GOG has modern games and it also has classic like
24:34
old, old DOS games. I want them to bring the DOS
24:37
games. That's might be, yeah.
24:40
That's what I want them to do. And but that might be weird in a
24:44
way because if you have any PC in the world, you can play those
24:48
games. I just don't have APC.
24:49
Yeah, but it's also, I think would probably be an easy win
24:55
for them because you don't need a lot of resources for that.
25:00
So like, I'd be paying you full price for you to spin up some
25:04
tiny little shitty server. Yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm saying they
25:08
could make some money off me if I'm doing that versus playing
25:11
Dune Awakening where I'm maxing out.
25:12
Yeah, yeah, you're the resources.
25:15
You, you, you're playing. Yeah, they need to spin up a
25:17
486. Yeah, exactly.
25:20
Yeah, somewhere. Yeah, so I can play King's
25:22
Quest. Matt's playing King's Quest
25:25
again. Yeah, so I, I mean, I hope
25:27
that's what it is. That would be very happy.
25:30
And you can install games on there.
25:32
I haven't tried this, but I did mention it the other week.
25:34
You can pay it extra to get like a permanently attached storage
25:39
on your account. And so I think that would
25:42
probably enable you to do GOG games if they choose to let you.
25:47
Just on GOG at the moment and they're pricing games on here
25:50
really good as well. Like the old ones or new ones?
25:55
Yeah, Gog's reasonable. Like they're really.
25:57
Yeah, yeah. Gog's always been reasonable, I
26:02
feel. Yeah.
26:04
And this is yeah. If they're now on there, that
26:07
might, yeah. Maybe some Val should be scared.
26:13
That's that's not all they announced.
26:14
They announced 90FPS VR streaming so you can do VR on
26:20
GeForce Now. OK, that.
26:22
Could be weird if your connection's no good.
26:24
Yeah, because you'd notice the latency a lot more in VR, I
26:27
think. Yeah, I mean, I get my connect,
26:29
my Internet connection here is is really good.
26:32
I have very few issues, but I do have some issues sometimes where
26:36
it's like stutters and I've lost.
26:38
I've gets dropped out like twice, Yeah.
26:41
So enough, but you know, VR, you'd notice a hell of a lot
26:46
more. Just a few milliseconds.
26:48
Yeah. And it can make you.
26:49
Yeah, it can make you physically, Yeah, depending on
26:52
how bad it is, so. So yeah, that would be more,
26:55
yeah. If you have good Internet, give
26:58
that a try. Yeah.
27:01
So anyway, that's really good news for me.
27:03
I hope it's the old games and not just the the more recent
27:06
games, but we'll see. Very exciting.
27:08
I might have a break from tomorrow.
27:10
Instead of playing getting game score, I might play Wing
27:13
Commander 3. Oh yeah, good idea.
27:17
I'm tempted to. So I'm so I'm on the $100 a year
27:20
plan, which is the medium one because that does me fine Yeah.
27:25
I don't have a 4K screen. I've got an ultra wide and I
27:27
don't like playing have I said this before?
27:29
I don't like playing games on the ultra wide because it looks
27:33
weird to me. Like the the field of view is
27:36
wrong and. I don't think you really need 4K
27:39
honestly. No, so I've got basically I I
27:42
have bars at the side of my screen when I'm playing a game.
27:45
It's just normal, normal 69 in the middle and like that and the
27:52
resolution is 40 and 40 by 202180 by 1440 or something like
27:57
that. And I can do all that on the
28:00
medium plan no issues. Yeah, but I am tempted because
28:04
you get a better video card when you get the the more expensive
28:08
plan and I'm like, I wonder how much better Dune could look if.
28:12
I look. If I paid like wait $200 a year,
28:16
I think it is. I think it's there's a free
28:17
that's still a good. That's still a good price.
28:20
Yeah, and there's a free tier as well, I should say.
28:23
Like you only get like you're limited to like I don't.
28:26
Know 2 hour. Sessions or something And yeah,
28:29
more. Trial than a.
28:31
Yeah, but I just sometimes I wonder maybe. $200 a year is not
28:37
insane, but really you've got to also look at how often you are
28:41
actually playing it. But it saves me buying APC like
28:45
I don't have to buy APCI, can just do this instead like and I
28:49
would mathematically what APC would be at least $1000.
28:54
OK. And it wouldn't.
28:55
Be as good as this. That's just for your RAM now.
28:57
That's, yeah, good point. Yeah.
28:59
So I mean, it's financially for me, it makes sense because APC
29:04
would mostly just sit there. Yeah, because I saw something
29:07
like, yeah, like Steam. Why?
29:08
They asked. Coming out with their Steam box
29:11
this year. They're also screaming out we we
29:13
need memory like. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
29:16
It's getting expensive. The cost of I think next
29:20
generation of all consoles, PlayStation, Xbox are going to
29:22
be sky high just due to memory costs, not actually anything
29:26
else. Yeah.
29:28
Yeah. Well, on that note, we talked
29:30
about Project Helix last week. We're not getting that until
29:34
2027 at the earliest. Well, they're not even showing
29:37
anything until then, right? Which I think is completely
29:41
fine. Like I wasn't expecting anything
29:43
this year. No, I think just because they
29:45
mentioned it, people were like, well, let's go, let's have a
29:47
look. And it's like, no, no, no, no.
29:48
No, no. No I think they only mentioned
29:50
it because everyone was saying Xbox is dead and they were like
29:54
we should probably say something.
29:55
No, you should listen to Luke. Yeah.
29:58
Yeah, told you there was going to be another Xbox console and I
30:01
was right. But yeah, it won't be till
30:03
either late 27 or early probably.
30:07
I'm not on a main room 28. Yeah, right.
30:11
I think they might hold out to 28 just just at the cost of it.
30:17
And wasn't did we talk about this?
30:19
There was some article that said that it's going to be like your
30:25
device, it'll do Windows shit as well.
30:28
Does that say it in this article?
30:29
I can't remember if we talked about that last week or if I saw
30:31
it this week, but yeah, it's going to be like your.
30:34
It's going to be it'll do everything like that's what it
30:37
is. It's going to be play PT games.
30:39
It'll do. Steam, GOG, all that shit.
30:41
Yeah, it's got to be you want. They're doing like the opposite
30:44
of Sony. Sony's kind of of, you know,
30:48
like going all in on just PlayStation, PlayStation
30:52
exclusives. And yet actually I saw an
30:55
article where Sony were actually going to stop releasing stuff
30:57
onto PC because for a while they have been doing like well.
31:01
That's really the opposite then. Yeah, they've been doing like
31:04
we're releasing release on PC, but now they're going well with
31:07
Xbox is going to get a cut of that, then we're not going to
31:09
release the PC. So they're yeah.
31:12
So like I think Sony, you need to maybe rethink your strategy
31:16
and get with the time because even they've been saying like
31:18
Xbox is dead. The second you started going
31:20
cloud and all this, you sort of nail in the coffin.
31:23
We need the console walls and everyone's sort of over that.
31:27
Yeah, I don't know man. I'm only on the cloud now so.
31:30
Yeah, that's all. That's all new Xbox is gonna be.
31:34
Essentially it'll be, there'll be a, there'll be a the
31:39
hardware, but then they'll also be the cloud version.
31:42
Yeah, no, it's Nintendo to. Me, Nintendo.
31:46
Sounds very good to me. Yeah, you're not. 2028 I called
31:50
Switch 3 or whatever, yeah. And the five years behind
31:55
everyone else and do make a fortune.
31:59
Hey, Switch 2's good, I like it. On the topic of Sony and
32:05
PlayStation, there's also this article this week someone
32:08
noticed. Apparently Sony is testing
32:13
dynamic pricing. So when when it makes it,
32:17
someone noticed. I don't know how the fuck they
32:18
noticed this. People just check this stuff.
32:20
I guess in the in the pricing API for PlayStation games, they
32:25
added some new fields around the pricing and it like checks like
32:30
location and, and a few other things.
32:32
And like basically who knows how it's actually going to work.
32:36
But based on certain criteria, you may or may see a different
32:43
price, which I think is a bit stupid.
32:49
I hate that. I hate dynamic pricing in a way.
32:52
Sort of already sort of happens at the moment, doesn't it?
32:55
Like it'll cost countries in different countries and stuff.
32:58
That's the year. Yeah, No, I think like, well,
33:03
let's see, does it say I guess we.
33:04
Don't know what the. Criteria are.
33:07
Isn't it like Brazil still selling places?
33:09
This is just because. Different prices to different
33:11
users. So it's like on a user.
33:14
On a user level, the pricing can be different and.
33:17
That sort of sucks. Yeah.
33:20
Well, I guess it depends on how they're calculating.
33:23
If it's something like what do they call it?
33:29
Like when we went to buy tickets to the Formula One in
33:32
Silverstone in the UK, the pricing changed based on demand,
33:37
which is fucking annoying because it's like, yeah, like by
33:42
the time you get to the front, the price has gone up.
33:45
Like I think it said they originally were supposed to be
33:46
like, they're already expensive. They were like £600 or
33:49
something. And by the time we got through,
33:51
there were like thousands. And it was like, well, that's
33:53
not happening. Yeah, like I'm now just wasting
33:56
all my time. Yeah, exactly.
33:57
So that kind of dynamic pricing I, I, I dislike, I feel like
34:02
that's well, I. Could sort of see if maybe it's
34:03
sort of like, hey, you haven't posted any in a while.
34:07
Yeah, yeah, like lure you in with like a low price.
34:10
I know like on the McDonald's app here, it'll it'll pop up
34:14
with like specials that are just for you.
34:16
Yeah, OK. To try and go, hey, you haven't
34:19
been here in a while, you like Nuggets, we'll give you a deal
34:21
on Nuggets. I guess it's like a it's a good
34:25
business strategy, I suppose. It'd be really good if it gave
34:28
me just cheaper games because I buy a lot of them.
34:31
Yes. No, but they probably wouldn't.
34:33
You buy a lot. So they'll be like, well, he
34:34
doesn't need discount, he's just going to buy them anyway.
34:35
Yeah. That sucks.
34:39
It's not fair. No, that's how it would work.
34:45
I haven't used my PlayStation in ages.
34:46
I went through a period there where I used it all the time.
34:48
I was super into it. I was playing Silent Hill.
34:51
And then I just actually, I've gone back to forgetting that I
34:54
own it. Yeah, I haven't played my Xbox
34:56
in a while. It's all been handheld for me
34:58
for quite some time. Yeah, I've been playing my when
35:01
I played Star Wars Outlaws a bit.
35:03
Not so much this week, but a little bit.
35:04
But I've been playing it on my my little G Force thing, Yeah,
35:08
and just sit out there in the living room while other things
35:11
are happening in play. Yeah, just yeah.
35:14
You don't have to take up the entire living room.
35:17
Yeah, I can watch Paw Patrol on the TV while I play.
35:20
So it's Paw Patrol the new big thing at the moment.
35:22
Paw Patrol. Paw Patrol and Octonauts.
35:25
The other day, she was watching Octonauts.
35:26
Yeah. Which is.
35:27
I've heard of that. It's.
35:29
Yeah. I mean.
35:31
That's a new one to me. I know of Paw Patrol because I
35:33
play their games. So does she on the switch Funny.
35:41
Needless achievements. Yeah, Yeah, so does she.
35:44
She's she's coming for you. She could catch up.
35:51
Yeah, maybe, Maybe. Playing the wrong console
35:53
though. Yeah, true.
35:56
Well, we have Xboxes around. I have seen this which I just I
36:04
knew it was kind of becoming but I still don't know why.
36:07
Avatar 4 is very likely to still be on the cards.
36:11
Yeah. So we talked.
36:12
About his last chance. We talked about how the the
36:18
success of three would determine the fate of four, and it was
36:22
kind of up in the air. People were like, oh, I didn't
36:23
make enough money, he said. It's not official, but he says
36:30
it's very likely so. I would maybe be rewriting your
36:35
scripts a little bit and maybe start tying up some loose ends
36:38
in this one. We're not expecting the fifth
36:40
one. It does say in addition, he's
36:42
taking audience feedback into consideration for the next
36:45
installment. So your feedback would be maybe
36:47
just wrap this up. Yeah, right.
36:51
Let's just get this done. I don't think you're going to
36:54
get because how many do you want?
36:56
5 or 6. I thought he was talking about 3
37:01
at one point and that was it, but now he's fucked.
37:04
No, I always knew it was more. Than six or seven or yeah.
37:07
Yeah, and that was all he was going to do for the rest of his
37:09
life was Avatar. Well, that's changed.
37:12
He's doing the the Hiroshima movie and stuff now, so.
37:17
But I still say like he could have, you can skip the the third
37:21
one. There's no need for that movie
37:23
to exist except for one scene. Yeah.
37:28
And I think that's where he screwed up.
37:31
And I think, I think instead of having it an entire movie for
37:35
one scene, maybe, yeah, just start tying up some loose ends
37:38
and get ready because you're not getting 5 and 6 anymore.
37:40
Yeah. Everyone's over it like the
37:44
first movie wasn't good. Everyone just went to see it
37:48
because it was 3D done well. Yeah, that's amazing.
37:53
That's what I liked about it. It was just that, yeah, it's
37:56
cool. Like I went and saw it a couple
37:58
of times, not because I loved the movie, because it was like I
38:01
would experience people good 3D in.
38:03
Like it was like when you're walking around the forest and
38:06
you see stuff like just. Yeah.
38:08
It was like an it was like a an experience more than it was a
38:11
good movie. Yeah.
38:12
And three, I don't know, it just felt like they even just phoned
38:15
the 3D in. Yeah, right.
38:17
But just. It's just a thing now.
38:20
Yeah. Yeah, nothing flying out of the
38:22
screen at you. No.
38:25
I hate that. Anyway, I haven't watched two or
38:28
three. I should do that.
38:29
I suppose just for research purposes.
38:32
I should watch. I have to watch one again.
38:34
I don't remember much about it. What was I thinking about the
38:36
other day? Oh, Firefly, I have to rewatch.
38:40
Oh, OK, so update on that. Oh.
38:41
Yes. Has anything been happening
38:43
since we last spoke? Yeah, I mean, it's, it's
38:45
escalating slightly. So, so we talked about this last
38:48
week. If you don't know, you don't
38:51
know what Firefly is. Firefly is a show from the early
38:53
2000s. Science.
38:55
Fiction show? Amazing.
38:56
Don't worry about who made it. Yeah.
38:57
Incredible show. Really, really, really, really
39:00
big fan base now. But at the time when it was on
39:03
TV, they messed up the order of the episodes and then they put
39:06
it on really late and then someone like Fox just cancelled
39:08
it, so there was 14 episodes. Yeah, 14 and it was too later
39:13
when people were actually able to see the way it was meant to
39:15
be shown. And it went, oh, this is really
39:19
good. Yeah, it's it's really good and
39:21
it's got a really big fan base and and it like as in there's
39:24
nobody who says actually it was bad and should have been
39:27
cancelled. Everybody, as far as I'm aware,
39:30
says that was a mistake. That show should have gone on to
39:34
big things. That's why they got the movie
39:38
yes. So they got ready to make
39:39
serenity to the movie 2 thi One thing that's interesting.
39:42
OK, Alan Tudic is also on board for whatever this thing is.
39:47
Oh yeah. So I I skipped this part.
39:48
So if you don't know, Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudik started a
39:52
podcast called Once We Were Spacemen where they were talking
39:55
about firefighters. Relatively new, like they're
39:57
only what like. I listen to a couple episodes
39:59
in. It's really funny.
40:00
It's really. Good.
40:01
I hadn't. I could imagine both of them.
40:04
It's really. Good.
40:05
So I recommend it. And so they've been doing this
40:09
podcast and they get all the other stars of Firefly on as
40:13
well. They've had the actual state and
40:15
Zoe. Summer glow.
40:18
Summer Glow. What's Zoe?
40:19
What's his surname? Anyway, whatever, all of them on
40:23
to talk about it and stuff. And it's been very popular, too.
40:26
Yes, because no one knows what it is.
40:28
It's just. Yeah, and so, But recently on
40:31
their Instagram, Nathan Fillion has been posting videos where he
40:34
goes around to each cast member's house, knocks on the
40:36
door, and then they open the door and they say, I was it
40:38
finally time? And he says yes or something
40:41
along those lines. And then they all say OK, I'm
40:43
in. And everyone's been like what
40:44
the fuck is this? So at the time we talked last
40:49
week, we had said Adam Baldwin was not amongst them.
40:52
He is now in the Jane fucking. Bailed that out during the
40:57
episode. Oh, OK, OK.
41:00
Also Alan Tudick is in which is interesting because his
41:05
character died in the movie and. Because he's a leaf on the wind.
41:09
Yeah, so his character Wash died in the movie, but someone said
41:14
there's a couple of theories about this.
41:16
OK, well, so the main thing is, what the fuck is this?
41:19
Yeah, like what are they teasing?
41:21
Because they have to be very careful.
41:22
Because if that doesn't have you very carefully.
41:26
The most recent post on the on the Instagram, the most recent,
41:29
what I saw is that they're appearing at a convention on the
41:33
16th, which is where this announcement, there's going to
41:35
be an announcement. They've said on the 16th,
41:37
something to do with Firefly on the 16th.
41:40
They've got a post there saying be there at the convention if
41:43
you want to hear what it is, post using the hashtag.
41:47
This is the hashtag he's telling everyone to use.
41:49
Hashtag bring back Firefly. I mean, come.
41:53
On there will not be a comic book or an animated series.
41:57
He is gonna get murdered if it is not season 2 of Firefly or
42:02
something like come on. If there are announced like an
42:06
animated Series, A comic book or podcast, like that's not gonna
42:10
fly. No, no, it's not enough.
42:13
Because. Because.
42:13
He's explicitly said it's not a podcast, it's not a convention
42:16
appearance, it's not a whatever, it's not the other day, he said.
42:19
It's not bobble heads like he just keeps saying everyone's
42:23
like OK, like he knows what he's doing and this is this could
42:29
backfire pretty hard. If it's not not serious, it's.
42:33
Not fucking Firefly. And someone said too, OK, so
42:36
Alan Tudyk is in it right? There's a couple of ways that
42:40
could work. One is apparently.
42:43
I haven't looked into this, this is just someone on the Internet
42:46
saying this, but Firefly and Serenity were not produced by
42:51
the same companies. Oh, so there's.
42:54
So in theory, just serenity. Doesn't.
42:58
Be pushed to the side and this is just a continuation of
43:01
Firefly where none of that stuff happened.
43:05
That's possible, but a bit weird it.
43:08
Would be a bit weird and. The other possibility is that
43:13
one of the things Alan Tudyk is very known for in particular is
43:19
playing robots. Yes.
43:22
So that's possibility something like that where it's not
43:27
actually wash, but it's. His voice.
43:30
Voice of Serenity or something? Something like that, yeah.
43:33
Yeah, like maybe get away with that because it's something nice
43:39
to have you involved, but it needs to be.
43:43
I mean, we're gonna, by the time anyone hears what we're saying
43:45
right now, we'll know. We'll add so they'll be
43:47
listening to this guy. You guys are fucking idiots.
43:49
It's just a fucking yeah. It's like I've I've an audio
43:52
book that they're all doing the voices for.
43:54
Oh no. Even that would.
43:56
Be no, I'll be I'm I'm actually gonna actively be annoyed if
44:01
that's what it is instead of excited and I think I'm not
44:04
alone like. It has to be a movie or another
44:10
season that they're the only two things.
44:13
The level of hype that they have generated, that's the only thing
44:17
people will actually be excited. I think anything else, people
44:20
will be disappointed now they've gone too far.
44:22
Yeah, like a convention. They're very dunk conventions.
44:25
Been there, done that podcast. Yeah, whatever.
44:29
A comic book. I get annoyed when I read
44:33
articles a lot. There was an article just
44:35
recently about, hey, it's not the last time and all.
44:38
It's not the last time we're going to see him.
44:40
I open it up. Oh, yeah, there's the comic book
44:42
series that's just going to care.
44:44
Don't care. Well, it can't be my.
44:47
I think it it can't be something like that because you don't need
44:49
the actors involved. For that, no.
44:52
Really. Audio book.
44:54
Possibly. But I'd still be let down.
44:57
With the level of hype it it, it would be disappointing because
45:00
they didn't even do this for that.
45:01
But the Buffy audio books, they didn't do this level of fucking
45:05
hype for that. And like, I guess the videos of
45:10
him going to the house, it's it's like you've gone too far.
45:14
That's what this is. You're gonna you've upset
45:16
everybody. Like imagine the booze he will
45:20
get if he who was to announce a comic book or or something like.
45:24
That it's gonna be, yeah, it'll be weird, Yeah.
45:28
Do you know, they even talk about on the podcast, they talk
45:32
about he says, what's he asks Allentudic, what's a show from
45:38
your childhood that you would reboot or bring back?
45:39
And Allentudic says like Firefly and he's like, he's like, well,
45:42
that's not what I meant, but let's talk about that.
45:44
How would you do that? And then they talk about it for
45:46
a bit and they he says, oh, there's a fan came up with is a
45:50
bit of fan fiction online that they they said, we've talked
45:52
about this before. And we both agreed, yeah, that
45:54
would be cool. Is that you start this new show
45:57
and the the the somebody lands on some remote planet and
46:03
there's like a cabin there. And they knock on the door.
46:05
And then old Mal Reynolds, older Mal Reynolds opens the door and
46:08
the person says, we need you. And then he has to fly around in
46:11
his new ship and pick up all the old crew and everything like
46:15
that. And they're like, yeah, that
46:15
would be great. That would be great.
46:17
And I was listening to this going.
46:18
Is that what you're doing? Is that what this is?
46:20
Like, 'cause I don't think that that doesn't excite me that that
46:26
storyline. That is not anything, that's not
46:28
even a storyline. That's like the intro.
46:30
And like, yes, that would be cool, but then you need to like,
46:32
why do they need Mal? Yeah, like why do you need you
46:35
particular if you're off flipping on some?
46:39
But then I was like, is that why you started this podcast?
46:41
Is that what this is like? Well, I think it is because the
46:44
podcast is only new. Yeah.
46:46
Like, was this all to build hype for whatever this is, or like,
46:50
like, did they need to do this to prove there was an audience?
46:53
Like, there's just so many theories about all this stuff
46:56
now. And again, if you're listening
46:58
to this, you already know. Or you can Google right now and
47:02
you'll see. And we'll look like fools
47:04
because it'll just be something stupid.
47:06
But I hope we do get something cool because I'm, I'm, I'm
47:09
starting to look forward to even like the new Buffy.
47:12
Same, Yeah. Like it's, yeah, like, because
47:16
it's not just a reboot and it's. Like so it said to be last
47:19
night, we're talking last night someone said we're it's the 90s
47:24
are back again. You know, the US is at war in
47:27
the Middle East. Buffy's coming back.
47:29
It's like it's all in rebate. Yeah, we ignore part of the
47:34
world. We focus on the stuff we can
47:36
say. Exactly.
47:38
Yeah, we can go back to pretending the world is fine and
47:42
watching Buffy and then Firefly. Actually, I've been a while
47:49
since I watched Buffy, but I've been leaving long since I've
47:51
seen Firefly. I might stick down.
47:52
I've watched. Firefly, but that's what that
47:54
was my, that's how I got started down this track.
47:56
Sorry, listeners, I know we've done this last week as well.
47:58
But yes, I do think regardless of whatever they announced I
48:03
will. I'd like to do a rewatch of
48:04
Firefly. Yeah, and it's only 1414
48:08
episodes. The first episodes, that's what
48:11
I found. What did?
48:13
You find. Another cake show.
48:16
Another cake show. What do they do on it?
48:19
It's people. Oh, OK.
48:21
All right. Have fun.
48:22
That is by the 1st. All right.
48:27
Thanks for letting me know. Be careful with him.
48:31
Thank you, buddy. Let's stop.
48:33
Yeah, I'm guessing she likes Is it Cake?
48:38
She loves is it cake? She likes the Great British
48:40
Baking Show, Kids, the kids one, the kids Bake Off, whatever.
48:43
It is. Oh yeah, I actually watched an
48:46
episode of Is It Cake? And I didn't realize what it was
48:50
until I saw it. About how I know it is like but
48:54
how they have to like they get multiple things and so they can
48:58
scuff other stuff up to try to get the impression that this.
49:00
Yeah, it's quite good. Yeah, because if you just made a
49:03
cake and and it was on its own, it'll be obvious.
49:05
But it's amongst other items. Yeah, exactly.
49:08
You have to pick which one is it.
49:09
Yeah, it's pretty good. Yeah.
49:09
Good show. Yeah.
49:11
And the host is very strange, but, you know, entertaining.
49:15
Yep, but she's found another one now.
49:18
Apparently, yeah. I don't know what it is.
49:19
She's got her own account on Netflix and she's exploring all
49:24
the shows on there now because she's.
49:25
I'm sick of Disney Plus. So yeah, yes, Anyway, it's OK.
49:31
So yeah. Firefly.
49:33
Yep. Very excited.
49:35
So the 16th you say? Yeah, they're announced.
49:38
Yeah, they're doing a convention and and they'll all be there, or
49:42
either they'll all be there or just the two of them, I can't
49:44
remember. It doesn't matter.
49:45
They're announcing it. And yeah, all that matters is
49:47
what they announce. I don't care.
49:48
Because I'm. Not going to be there.
49:50
And it's either going to be good or Nathan feeling it's going to
49:54
be murdered. It's either season 2 or a movie
49:57
or yeah, RIP Nathan Fillion. Yes, because the fans will throw
50:02
him off the building. Yes, which is a shame because I
50:05
quite like Nathan Fillion. I, I, I haven't seen him in
50:09
stuff for a bit because I haven't watched the Rookie.
50:11
I know he's in the Rookie or most recently has been in the
50:14
Rookie. I haven't seen actually, I guess
50:16
I haven't watched Resident Alien either, but I put the first
50:19
episode of the show on and I was listening to them talk and I and
50:22
it was just like felt very like, oh, I love these guys like.
50:27
President Alien, I've seen I think the first two seasons sing
50:30
the third one out now. That's a good show.
50:32
You should watch that. Yeah, OK.
50:33
That's just out in 2D. He is very funny, like like this
50:38
podcast, even if you don't know about Firefly, I think listen to
50:41
it like the two of them are just, it's very good.
50:44
It's very entertaining. Oh, there's a great story,
50:46
actually, that they tell that you would appreciate.
50:49
When they started on Firefly, Alan Tudyk said, I was allowed
50:54
to be friends with Nathan Fillion, but it came with
50:56
requirements. And he said, I remember the
50:58
first couple of days they were on Firefly, Nathan Fillion said
51:02
to him, do you play Halo? And Alan Tudyk was like, I don't
51:06
know what that is. And he said, OK, where do you
51:08
live? And he said, I over here he
51:10
goes, OK, when you go across the bridge over to blah, blah, blah,
51:14
get off on the exit there. There's a Best Buy.
51:16
All right, on the way home, I want you to stop at Best Buy.
51:18
You're going to buy yourself an Xbox and then you're going to
51:20
buy yourself a copy of the game Halo, Halo, Halo, right.
51:23
So on your way home tonight, do that, go home, play it for a
51:26
couple hours. We'll talk tomorrow.
51:28
And then he's like, OK. And then he he was like,
51:32
whatever, It went home and it came the next day.
51:34
It didn't didn't do it. It came the next day.
51:36
And and then he was like, So what do you think?
51:38
And he's like about what? And he goes about Halo.
51:41
Hello. And he goes, oh, I didn't.
51:42
And he and he's like Alan, I can't stress this enough.
51:46
You need to stop at Best Buy on the way home tonight.
51:50
Buy an Xbox Halo. And so they all used to just
51:53
play Halo like, like big land parties playing Halo on Xbox.
51:57
And I was like, oh. Luke would love heart of one of
51:59
them. So there are people, is what I'm
52:03
saying anyway. Hopefully.
52:10
So what next week? Yes, all I'm saying.
52:13
Yes, otherwise because you get disqualified of you tease, tease
52:20
something so hard that the fan base murders you because it's
52:24
not what they. Wanted to buy?
52:25
I feel like this is, this is what Star Wars is like.
52:29
I feel like, except it's like less.
52:33
This is a very like raw and obvious example of what Star
52:38
Wars gets where everybody wants a very specific thing.
52:42
Yes, and they're not giving it to us.
52:44
Oh, I saw the trailer for The Mandalorian Grogor again tonight
52:47
and it looks terrible. That what was the fucking axes?
52:55
I'm like, no, no, no, I can't. It's not no.
53:01
ATATS that are walking up that snowy mountain and just looks
53:05
horrible, Like no, doesn't look good.
53:09
And yeah, it's just made for IMAX.
53:12
It's so confusing to me. Like I just, I know obviously
53:18
someone likes it. I I assume that's Clone Wars
53:21
stuff, you know, with the goofy huts, you know, they had a whole
53:25
bunch of different types of huts, like the goofy, like the
53:29
girl huts with like a bow in there, not hair or whatever.
53:32
It's just. If you do go back to some of the
53:35
the books, the young adult books that were a bit goofy there as
53:39
well, sure, but no. I don't know.
53:43
Like I said, I said someone put a screenshot on Reddit the other
53:46
day. It was a screenshot of the.
53:48
I couldn't know his name. I don't care.
53:49
The Hut in the arena with the it's like a the heart with the
53:53
two and I was just no, just no. Hi, OK, buddy.
53:58
Thanks. OK, goodness me.
54:05
Sorry about that. But no, yeah, just that.
54:09
And then he's going to go into the ring and fight, and maybe
54:12
Grogu's going to sit there and eat popcorn and we're all going
54:15
to laugh and it's going to be fun.
54:17
I'm not going to laugh. I'm not going to watch it go.
54:19
Watch this. I'm watching this.
54:22
The trailer does the opposite. The trailer is supposed to make
54:24
me excited to go see it. I watch the trailer and I go,
54:27
that's not for me. That is not for me.
54:31
What are they who it's for? I don't need that.
54:36
Like season 1, Amanda Laurie was great, we all loved it and then
54:41
it just I think even season 2 was season 2 was.
54:44
Right, it went up and then Boba Fett.
54:46
Came along. Yeah, Boba Fett is where I went.
54:49
Oh no, something's changed. Boba Fett came along and that
54:54
just ruined everything. Because Boba Fett was not good,
55:00
but they put stuff in it from Mandalorian so that I had to
55:04
watch it and that annoyed me as well.
55:06
It was like, not only do I not like this show, but you're
55:08
trying to make me watch it and I don't.
55:10
Like that. The thing that I found worse
55:12
about the Boba Fett was the speed of bike chase.
55:17
Do you remember that? Like the slowest chase in the
55:20
world. Yeah, that's Sophie Thatcher,
55:22
right? The she went on to do a bunch of
55:24
good movies and stuff because she's like White Lotus and.
55:27
Why am I watching this? Like this is not fast-paced Star
55:31
Wars, which is what we we love. It's that fast-paced action.
55:36
This is just walk faster than it it was.
55:39
Done by Robert Rodriguez did that and I love Robert.
55:41
I thought I did. I don't know.
55:43
It's just ruining so many things for me.
55:45
Yes. That and like the, I, I wouldn't
55:50
nitpick if I enjoyed it, I suppose, but I remember there
55:53
was like one of the early episodes where he's like
55:56
attacking the train. And so he's like, he's like with
56:00
these Tuscan Raiders and then he goes and he's like chasing this
56:03
train across the desert and it's going on.
56:05
There's a whole long action sequence and they're like
56:07
zooming across the desert and then he like, blows up the train
56:10
or whatever, and then all of a sudden the Tuscan Raiders are
56:11
there and it's like, how did they get there?
56:13
Yeah, like they just fucking. I don't know.
56:16
It's. They walk in single file to hide
56:19
their numbers. It's really fast.
56:21
Yes, yeah, faster than a speeding train and speeder bike
56:25
blasting across the desert in a high speed chase.
56:27
Yes, yeah, whatever. Yeah, No, I think that's where
56:31
it actually went off the rails is Boba Fett.
56:34
That's right for me, yeah. And then everyone, because
56:36
people are like, oh, about the rancor at the yeah, it was
56:38
fucking stupid. That's what about the rancor at
56:40
the end? Not for me.
56:43
Not stupid, I'm not going back and watching that, but I will go
56:46
and say I'll be the one that sacrifices myself to go and see
56:50
The Mandalorian, Grogu, and I'll let you know.
56:52
Thank you. I'll tell you what you might not
56:54
be able to see, and that is James Mangold's Star Wars movie.
56:57
Because somebody this week is not official or anything, but an
57:00
insider has said that apparently that's canned now.
57:05
Oh, OK, so. Well, I think a lot of stuff's
57:08
going to be key now that Kathleen's going and.
57:10
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I'll be there'll be a big
57:13
reset to, yeah. Dave Felonies in.
57:16
They'll get rid of anything that would have actually been good,
57:18
and it'll all be just garbage now.
57:20
Yeah, it's just fine. Means I can just tap out and not
57:23
have to worry about it. Just I just give it to me.
57:27
I can make it good. We'll have to retcon some stuff,
57:30
but I can make it good, I promise.
57:32
Yeah, we'll retcon just back to Return of the Jedi.
57:36
Yeah, that will be fine. Because even though I did enjoy
57:44
The Force Awakens. Yeah.
57:47
When I go back and watch it now, think about it now it's.
57:50
Just I. Know it's not actually good.
57:53
JJ Abrams is very good at nostalgia.
57:56
Yeah. He knows like there's a very
57:59
good Prey talk based before there's a very good video.
58:02
I think it's a Ted talk he did or something like that.
58:04
This first he talks about mystery boxes, but the other
58:05
thing is he shows a scene from Jaws and he talks.
58:09
He just talks about how when people do nostalgia films, they
58:14
sometimes focus on the wrong things because they don't
58:16
realize it's more about the feel than it is about specific, like
58:22
the callbacks. And he.
58:24
Yeah, he. Really got.
58:25
He really got us to feel. That's that's yeah.
58:28
It's like the vibe almost, Yeah. And he's very good at picking up
58:32
on what was the vibe of this thing.
58:34
And let's bring that into the new one.
58:36
And that's what Force Awakens felt like.
58:38
Star Wars. Yes, but then when you go back
58:41
and look at the eyes we have now, it's it's it's no, that
58:45
movie made no sense either. Right, Yeah, yeah, it's and it's
58:49
just the plot of Star Wars, but also silly.
58:51
It actually also ruins the end of Return of the Jedi because,
58:55
well, the Empire didn't go anywhere, the rebels.
58:58
They just started a new one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
59:02
They need it. That's the thing though.
59:04
But they just need it. It's just the same thing again,
59:06
because you know, that's, that's what people want.
59:08
It's just more of the same thing, like whether they admit
59:11
it or not. I can fix it.
59:13
I want to do that. I want to do The Last
59:14
Starfighter. I want to do a sequel to that.
59:18
Not a reboot, a full on sequel. I thought there's a Is there a
59:20
game? It's a comic fighter gaming.
59:22
Comic book camera I don't care. OK, that's even worse that.
59:25
Could make a great sequel to that movie because it even ends
59:29
setting itself up for a sequel. Yeah, yeah.
59:33
And it just never happened. Just make it.
59:36
Yeah. I don't know.
59:38
You just make it just. Because I don't give me, I don't
59:40
know how many, how many movies you see in there you've.
59:42
Got a webcam? I'm looking at you right now on
59:44
a webcam. Just do it.
59:45
You've got you've got a green screen behind you.
59:48
Yeah, easy. Yeah.
59:51
All right, I'll make it. I'll write the script.
59:53
What's it gonna be called? Last stuff out of two, just keep
59:56
it simple. OK, fair.
59:59
Save your brain capacity for the.
1:00:00
Rest of the story very good actually.
1:00:04
I should probably rewatch it because it's been a long time
1:00:07
since I've seen it. Yeah, I do know.
1:00:09
It just ends on a leading to a sequel I.
1:00:14
Think the last time I saw it, I saw just a bit of it when they
1:00:18
used to have it in the powerhouse Museum on the screen
1:00:20
in the in the space shuttle that's in there.
1:00:22
You know, there's a museum in Sydney.
1:00:24
People who aren't from Sydney, I don't know, they're called the
1:00:26
Palace Museum. The.
1:00:26
Museum still exists. I think it exists.
1:00:29
I think they moved it, and I don't know if that section still
1:00:31
exists, but there was a whole section of this.
1:00:33
It's a museum for like science and stuff.
1:00:35
Yeah. And they had a section which was
1:00:36
like a space shuttle that you could walk into and you had you
1:00:40
could see how they sleep and how they go to the toilet and all
1:00:43
that kind of stuff. And then the the the beds that
1:00:45
are like vertical things that they climb and strap into had
1:00:48
little TV's. And on the TV in there
1:00:51
throughout my childhood, they had the last star fighter plane.
1:00:54
There's only one thing that I didn't like in the original Last
1:00:57
Star Fighter, and that was his clone that he left.
1:01:01
I don't remember that. His clone was a bit gropey.
1:01:04
Really. I don't remember that at all.
1:01:05
Yeah, OK, I got to watch this movie.
1:01:07
Yeah. So yeah, when when he gets taken
1:01:09
off, they replace him with a clone, so no one realizes he's
1:01:13
gone, right. And the clone is sort of just
1:01:17
not very bright and just following on what other people
1:01:20
are doing. And yeah, he gets a bit gropy
1:01:21
with the girlfriend. Oh, geez.
1:01:23
And I think it turns into ooze. It's been a long time since I've
1:01:27
seen it. I kind of remember that.
1:01:30
Yeah. I guess I'll watch it.
1:01:32
Yeah, well, Speaking of ooze, let's ooze our way into the
1:01:39
after party. I don't know what I mean by
1:01:40
that. I was just trying to take.
1:01:42
Away. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:01:43
Yeah, yeah. The secret of the ooze.
1:01:45
No. All right, no ooze.
1:01:47

sure some of the kids say these days.
