  Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, Welcome to the Large Nerdron Collider podcast, a
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: podcast that's all about the geek things happening in the
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: world around us and how very excited we are about them.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: I'm Ariel Caston and with me as always is looks
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: super cool Jonathan Strickland.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: I am full of breakfast tacos.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: I am becoming full of gushers and coffee. It feels
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: like a real Friday.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, gushers and coffee the go to snack of psychotics
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: like Ariel I have.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna have a real meal after this.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Uh huh, all right, well, yeah, I'm glad. You know,
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: maybe you throw some flaming hot Cheetos in the mix
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: or something you want.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: To kill me.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying like you're already picking such terrible foods.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Uh No, I had. I had tacos from Torchies this morning.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Breakfast tacos from Torchies. I am still riding high that
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Atlanta finally has a torcheese location, because I got hooked
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: on that back in Austin, Texas whenever I would visit. Granted,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: the torcheese of today is not the same as what
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: it was the first time I went and I understand
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: there were some folks in Austin who used to be
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: big fans of Torchies who have since turned on it
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: because it has changed so much. I maintain it's still
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: pretty good at the breakfast tacos. Like, you don't get
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: a lot of breakfast tacos in Atlanta. There are a
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: couple places that do them, but not many. So yeah,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: I was happy to get breakfast tacos again.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I wonder if I could get them delivered here. They're
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: a bit far for a morning breakfast drive for me
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: unless I don't have work afterwards. But what you would
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: sound good?
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: You would think that they wouldn't come all the way
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: down here, Like I was surprised that the it's like
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: a half hour, well maybe more like twenty minute drive
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: from where I live to where the Torches is because
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: I don't I live in the city of Atlanta. We
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: don't get a lot of chains like here. Like it's
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: it's even rare to find fast food. There are some
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: in little pockets, but you're more likely to find, you know,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: independently owned restaurants, which is awesome. I love that, but
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: it does mean that if you do happen to get
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: addicted to say Torchies Tacos or Nando's Peri Pierrie Chicken,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: that when a location finally does move into the metro
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Atlanta area, you can almost guarantee it's going to be
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: at least a half hour drive to get there.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Hey, at least if you come to the Perimeter Nandos
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: you're near me, you all could be like hey, and
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: I could be like, I can also sit there while
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: you eat chicken that I cannot eat, but you could.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: You could get the You could get the so called
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: plane chicken which is still marinated and stuff, though I
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: would probably still make you sick.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean I've had Perry Perry chicken before.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: We used to have like a bone Heads or something
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: like that that was pretty good nearby, and I'd get
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: the mild. But I have become more sensitive to Pepper's
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: in general, so I'd have to be careful.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Maybe what we do is we order like a plane
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: one and then you just try a little piece and
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: see if it's something that agrees with you, and otherwise
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: we load you up on sides that aren't going to
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: affect your various allergies and sensitivities and whatnot.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: That works Also, I know we said that we likely
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: weren't recording this week. Everybody I had travel plans. They
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: have been postponed, so who knows when that's going to happen.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: A totally reasonable post moment. I'm happy to be recording today,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: but in our in our long standing history of comedy
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: of errors recording, I do instead have housework being done
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: in my house today, So if you hear background noise,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: we tried our best.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Which may or may not come from aerial side because
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: I live in a townhouse, so one of my neighbors
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: is having their roof done so today, so we have
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: construction going on both ends of the podcast. We will
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: see if that impacts us at all. Maybe we'll be lucky.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: If we had been like I can hear them right now,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: If we had planned better and known that this was
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: happening and not last minute decided to record today, we
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: could have talked about nineties nostalgia and called it the
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Home improvement episode.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Or we could have actually made attempts to meet in
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: person somewhere and record in the same space for the
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: first time in years.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: It's gonna happen. We just need to remember to like
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: talk about it. Offline.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so we're doing an episode. It's funny because I
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: was putting together stuff for next week's episode what would
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: be next week's episode, because I had assumed we weren't
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: going to record this week, so I was like just
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: putting stuff in as almost like a placeholder, because by
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: the time another week goes by, stuff that was relevant
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: often is like old news. That's how fast the world moves.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: So I was just doing it so that if there
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: were anything that happened this week, we would have a
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: chance to talk about it. Turns out like every week
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: more stuff popped up than I had anticipated, so we've
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: got quite a few things to talk about before that. However,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: we typically talk about stuff that we have watched or
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: read or listened to or whatever that we want to
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: share when we get together. So Ariel, was there anything
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: that you saw that you want to talk about?
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: I After Midnight is back. Zach O Yama from Dropout
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: was on it. Sadly like Zacho Yama, I think is
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: one of the funniest comedians on Dimension twenty and oftentimes
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: drop Out. He's got really good comedic timing and sense
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: of what is funny to say in which situations However,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: on After Midnight, I felt like the games weren't that strong,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: so he didn't really get to shine, but it was
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: still really cool seeing him on there. Because of course
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Dimension twenty and Critical Role both got featured in The
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Times recently, the Times magazine on a piece about dungeons
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: and Dragons, which is really really cool. So I watched that,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: and then I'm still working through Kevin kin f Himself,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: which is still remaining to be very good and it's
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: interesting watching people grow and how they move through the
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: story differently. And this weekend I'm going to try to
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: watch Agatha all along.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: I'm also going to try and watch that. This weekend.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: I did watch the first episode of The Penguin, which
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: of course is the spinoff series from The Batman.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Not Gotham and not Pennywise.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Just to be clear, right, not that not those variations
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: on the DC universe. We're talking about the Robert Pattinson
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Batman version of the character and the Colin Ferrell version
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: of the Penguin. Uh. I will say this, I think
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: the show is well done. Like you, you know, you
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: had real issues with the Riddler, the variation of the
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Riddler in The Batman. I have real. I like the
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Riddler in The Batman thought I thought that was an
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: intriguing version of that character.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: I know you called Dano a lot.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: I just yeah, no, I get it. But like I
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: liked the Zodiac style dark, super dark version of the Riddler,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: I thought that was interesting. I do not like this
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: version of the Penguins simply because he doesn't seem that
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: different from any standard gangster. Like there's nothing that sets
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: him apart other than he has a weird walk because
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: he's got a gammy leg and he's got a scarred
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: face that makes him a little disfigured. But he's not,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: like you know, he's not particularly intelligent. He's very cunning,
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: he's incredibly cunning, but he's not super smart. He makes
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: really bad decisions, like playing different sides against each other,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: And like anyone looking at this, if you were privy
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: to it, if you were there in the room when
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: he makes these decisions, you'd say, this is ultimately going
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: to hurt you. This is unsustainable, and when the cards
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: fall down, you're gonna be stuck and there is no
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: good outcome to what you are doing right now. Like
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: I think it's pretty clear, and so it's weird watching
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: a show where your protagonist is so deeply flawed that
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: you're really just waiting to see a Like does he
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: succeed despite himself? That might be how this ends, like
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: if he's actually going to become a power figure. The
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: one interesting thing is that he does romanticize mobsters, and
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: he thinks of them as potentially like a pillar of
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: the community, like a savior almost so in the very beginning,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: he's looking out over Gotham while the seawall is collapsing,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: because that happens in the Batman, and like he's he's
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: deeply moved by this, Like he wants to help people,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: but to do so outside the realm of law and
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: in ways that cement his standing in the community. Like
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: you get a feeling like a big part of his
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: motivation that he desires to be loved and revered.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: So like I've never viewed the penguin as a particularly
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: successful villain. I like him. I feel like the most
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: successful he has ever been, or I should say the
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: most successful the penguin has ever been was in the
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: old Adam West Batman and then in the new Amazon
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Prime Batman Caped Crusader cartoon where the penguin is a woman,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: and I feel like those are the two most successful
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: versions of the penguin. I've always considered the penguin. I
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: don't I don't know why. It's kind of not the
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: bane of the villain group, but like closer to Baane
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: than let's say, uh, Lex Luthor or the Joker.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, Baane is the bane of the villain group.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know what I mean, like kind of
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: on the lower regarded side.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: I think it depends. I think it depends on the era, right,
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: because like in some versions Penguin, like when it was
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: in the really campy phase, when Batman was like in
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: the super campy phase like the sixties and early seventies,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: then all the Batman villains were cartoon versions of bad guys, right,
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: So like.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but he was still successful there.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Right, right. But what I'm saying is that Penguin in
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: that case was a joke because like all of his
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: crimes involved trying to steal artwork that related to birds, right,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: like the jeweled statue of an eagle or something. That
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: was always the gag. But there are other eras of
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Batman where the penguin is essentially a crime boss, which
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: is kind of the story they're trying to tell in
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: the Penguin, except he's not there at crime boss levels.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: He's like foot soldier, or maybe actually a higher than
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: foot soldier. He's a kind of like middle management in
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: the crime organization. I think it's well done. I think
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Colin Farrell is doing a really good job in the
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: in the performance, I think his performance is great. I'm
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: not crazy about the character, but it's not because of
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: his performance. That's just because the way they've decided to
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: frame this character in this version of Batman. And you know,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: we had talked back when we were watching the previews
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: for this that it kind of looked like Sopranos but
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: in Gotham, and I don't think it's quite that level.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: It's it's not as nuanced as Sopranos, but it's entertaining.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: So I think it's well done. I just I'm just
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: not crazy about this version of the character.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I I also don't like I think Colin Ferrell
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: does an amazing job as the Penguin, just because he's unrecognizable.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Part of that is because they've put him in a
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: fat suit. And I also am just not a fan
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: of that so much. Like Diego in Umbrella Academy season three,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: and this isn't a spoiler, Jonathan don't worry had a
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: period of the show where they wanted him to be
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: a little overweight, and they gave him the option of
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: wearing a fat suit or trying on trying to put
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: some weight on, and since it wasn't for the entire season,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: you know, he opted for Spatsude. I think stuff like
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: that is okay. I know sometimes gaining oftentimes gaining a
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: lot of weight or losing a lot of weight for
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: a role can be detrimental to your body. And I
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: wish that people had to lose weight less for their roles,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: and the only reason that they would lose weight is
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: for their mental and physical well being if they need it.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: But I say this as a plus sized woman, But
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: also there are people the penguin is not even like
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: that that heavy. You know, they could have found an
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: actor who more embodies that physical attribute.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I can definitely see the argument there. I mean,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: it's it's tough because there's also the argument that the
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: star power is one of the selling points for the series, right, Like,
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: it's not just it's a good actor playing the penguin,
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: it's this specific actor, yeah, but you.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Can't even tell it's that specific actor. And they have
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: a lot of other star power like Clancy Brown and
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Mark Strong and Kristin Melodi.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Right, but they're not playing the penguin.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Although I did have a theory that Kristin Malodi was
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: actually going to be the big powerhouse in this series.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: She's yeah, she's It's interesting because I think they have
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: combined Sophia Falcone with Albert Falcone from the comics, because
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: in the comics, Albert Falcone is not just a potential
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: heir to the Falcone Dinah, he's also like a homicidal murderer,
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: and that doesn't seem to be the case in this version.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: But Sophia Falcone when she shows up, reveals that she
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: had been an Arkham and that she's been released from Arkham,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: But they haven't said why she was sent to Arkham,
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Like that hasn't been revealed yet, And I'm like, is
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: it going to turn out that she she's the homicidal killer?
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: But then why would she get released? Like you would
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: figure that if you're a homicideal killer, you're probably not
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: going to be released even on good behavior.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah. Also, I'm seeing in like on the IMDb
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: page versus the movie page for The Batman, that there
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: is a character in both of the both of them
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: that has been recast, Carmine Falcone.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well Carmine's dead, so dead. Yeah, so that's why
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: they don't. They didn't bring the actor back to play
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: a dead version of Carmine. They might be that they're showing,
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: like in flashbacks, a younger Carmine. Gotcha, that might that
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: might happen because I could see that because he's he
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: dies in The Batman, so you don't we don't get him,
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: at least not the same version in the Penguin. He
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: doesn't show up in that first episode as far as
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: I could recall anyway, Gotcha. There are some things in
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: that first episode that are that made me shake my
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: head a little bit, But overall I enjoyed it, So
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's the best thing ever, but it's
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: enough for me to watch the next episode.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: That's good. That's positive to hear. Because Gotham was a slog.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, I could. I tried watching Gotham in
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: about halfway through the first season. I was like, this
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: is so ridiculous, Like so over the top ridiculous. It's
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: lost me because I think it was specifically Fish Mooney.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Fish Mooney's character was just so like chew the scenery ridiculous.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: I could not stick with it.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we just had some I agree with. We've talked
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: about it before. There were just some tonal like if
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: everybody was a campy, if it was very Adam West,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: it would have been fine. But there were also people
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: who were very very mainstream. Interesting thing. The guy who
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: played the penguin on Gotham, yeah, I thought was a
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: perfectly fine actor, plays a supporting character. And Kevin kinef
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: himself and it took me a while to recognize him.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: But he's fantastic in.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: It, I know, I know. I also saw that he's
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: doing a voice in something. I can't remember now what
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: it was, but I do remember, like when I heard
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: about that, I was like, oh, it's that guy I
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: didn't know. And then the next time I saw a
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: clip from whatever it was I listened for, I'm like, oh, yeah,
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: now I can hear it. Yeah, but it was one
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: of those his voice isn't quite distinctive enough to me
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: yet for me to just be able to pick it
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: out so but yeah, that was I'd say, if you
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: have Max, go ahead and watch the first episode of
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: the Penguin, you'll know whether or not this is something
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: that you want to stick with, or if you are,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: you're like, no, I've seen enough, and I don't think
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: there's a right or wrong call on that. It's up
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: to personal preference. The one other thing I did listen
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: to this week that is geeky as I listened to
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: the episode zero of the new Adventure Zone series, which
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: is their Abnables series. So, so the idea is that
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: all the characters are anthropomorphic animal people, kind of like
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: you know, teenage mutant Ninja turtles are like that, or
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: the Cowboys of Moo Mesa or so it's like mostly
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: it's like Saturday Morning cartoon characters. Well, these are all
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: animals that are humanoid and they don't transform, no, like
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: teenage mutant ninja turtles or the Cowboys of movies Battle
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Toad or Yeah. So I listened to the episode zero
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: of that, and it was cute like Travis McElroy is
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: running the game and Griffin Justin and Clint McElroy are
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: the players, and so episode zero introduced all the characters
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: and sort of the game world, and I enjoyed what
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: I heard. I don't know, I have never stuck. The
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: only season of Adventure Zone I've ever stuck with all
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: the way through was the first one I have not
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: listened to one all the way through.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Since I really enjoyed the problem is that Griffin is
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: just such an amazing DM, and the characters that they
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: accidentally created for the Adventure Zone ended up being so
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: robust that it's hard to recreate that initial magic. Right.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: But the second one that Griffin did, the one that
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: was Monsters of the Week and very like Cryptid based,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: was also quite good. I thought. I enjoyed I think
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: both seasons of that.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: He also recently did the Adventure Zone Kills Dracula like
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: he was the game master for that one, and I
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: listened to the first few episodes, but I think the
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: game mechanics actually eventually got so bogged down that I
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: didn't care to listen to anymore.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Gotcha, I will listen to this one. I think that
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Travis becomes a stronger DM with each game that he dms,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: which is you know the case for most people, right.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: Sure, Yeah, yeah, you learn what you learn by doing
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah that his first one. His first one was a
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: little rough, but at the same time, anyone's first go
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: at being game master typically is a little rough. It's
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: a it's a it is a learning experience.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so I listen to that. Did you know
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: that the Macroroi brothers are actually doing the Boombamon Adventure
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Zone this weekend in Atlanta?
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Well, and I don't like going to the live recordings
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: that much because of the possibility for awkward interactions that
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: I find really hard to endure. Like if someone gets
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: up and like the question thing just isn't going well,
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: I just get so uncomfortable that I'm like, I won't
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: I want to be anywhere other than right here, right now,
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: So I don't like going. It's the same reason why
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: I don't like going to see stand up comedy. Like
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: I've got friends who are who have done stand up
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: and I support them one, but I have never gone
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: to see their shows because the possibility of Heckler's is
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: enough to make me want to not go. Same with like,
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: same with even my favorite improv theater. There are times
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: where I have to talk myself into going because I
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: don't know what kind of crowd I'm going to be.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: In Yeah, and I know you've had bad crowd experiences
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: even with great shows.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: Oh sure, yeah, so have I.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: And that makes sense. You're a very sympathetic, empathetic person.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: I can relate to that. I have a hard time
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: watching people be uncomfortable or yeah, or feeling embarrassed for
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: other people. So yeah, the other cool thing along with
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: the macroy brothers, I'm so happy. I was like, gosh,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: we need to get all these cool people in Atlanta
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: to do shows. They're doing them elsewhere. And now some
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: of the Dimension twenty people and some of the Critical
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Role people are in fact doing a live D and
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: D in Atlanta in October. I don't think I'll be
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: able to go, but it is really cool.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that was neat. You sent me the link
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: to that and I saw it and I was like, oh,
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: that's going to be really cool. I hope the people
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: who go have a great time. It kind of makes
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: me think of you know, we've been lucky to get
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Mark Mehir down here a few times for improvised D
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: and D, and he's also run some D and D games,
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: not in Atlanta, but he's done some of the ones
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: that are like hosted in a castle.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've had. I have a friend who's done those.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: With him, so that's really cool. I mean those are
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: super expensive. I've never done one. I like the idea
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: of it, I just have never gotten to the point
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: where I'm like, let me actually plan the logistics.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, she's she's a I mean, that's what she does,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Goblin Katie. She she does a lot of D and
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: D streams and actual plays as a character and sometimes
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: a DM, but usually a character. So yeah, that's that's
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: what she does.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: So clearly, when I finally get my D and D
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: campaign going, we should make that a real play video
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: series so that we can start doing that stuff.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: I would be for it.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: I would be for it, baby Steps. We haven't even
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: rolled up characters for that campaign yet anyhow.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, cool stuff. I love that the intersection of geekdom
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: is growing more into Atlanta.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and not just once a year when in town.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So I hope I hope that we get
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: an actual another like Dimension twenty or Critical Role actual
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: play in Atlanta because I am more likely to shell
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: out a chunk, a good chunk of money to go
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: see a show like that if I also don't have
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: to pay for travel and hotel. Absolutely, yes, yeah, but
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: uh there it's it's Brendan Lee Mulligan is running a
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: game with Zach Oyama and some other people.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: I think, yeah, and uh at dream hack and I
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: have been to a dream Was it a dream hack?
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: It was something where they were playing StarCraft. Maybe maybe
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: that was a dream hack, but it was way before
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: the pandemic. And it was a lot of fun getting
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: to watch some of the live streamers that I enjoyed
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: the comedy and commentary of and and watching people play
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: this game. You know, I don't play StarCraft. I'm really
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: bad at the clicks per minute kind of games. But
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: it was a lot of fun. I imagine this will
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: be It's it looks like it's changed a lot, but
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: it looks like it's still going to be a great
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: time if you are fee that weekend in local I
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: want to go.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It's also just a good reminder of wherever you live,
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: you know, keep an eye out to see what sort
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: of events might be comeing to your neck of the woods.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: You never know when you're going to find, like something
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: that's really special, maybe even find yourself a community to
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: belong to, like that kind of stuff. It's it's special stuff.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: It takes a lot for me to get out of
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: the house these days. I'm always thankful when I do it.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: But there's it's so hard to get past that initial barrier.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: And when you start seeing stuff like this pop up,
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: it makes it actually a little less hard, which is nice.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, for sure. And in the future, you and
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: I will have to plan to go to something together.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: We can be each other's moral support.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: That sounds great, yeah, because then we're like, hey, Ariel,
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: I need us to find a corner somewhere where it's
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: quiet and we could just sit down for a little bit.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: That's you know, I appreciate that as well. I like,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: I can do big crowds for long periods of time.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: But yeah, but even if you have a good social battery,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: it does wear out.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: So yeah, and for me, it's like just the anxiety
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: of crowds, right Like, especially if I'm in a place
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: where I'm not close to an exit and there's no
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: easy way for me to get there. I don't have
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: to necessarily take the exit. I just need to know
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: it's available and I could get there if I needed to.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: And in cases where like at Dragon cons sometimes things
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: just get so crowded, like your shoulder to shoulder, and
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: there's just there's an equal number of people who are
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: trying to go the opposite direction of where you and
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: everybody else is trying to go, and no one's moving.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Those are the situations where my anxiety starts to ratchet
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: out of control.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: That makes sense, I have. I have that anxiety more
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: now than I used to pre pandemic. But yeah, that
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: makes total sense.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: Mine's gotten worse since the pandemic too. But you know
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: what hasn't gotten worse.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: The sounds outside my house, which is a total lie.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: No, I was gonna say, the time limit of thirty seconds.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: It has remained constant and hasn't gotten it. It hasn't
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: gotten better, but it hasn't gotten worse.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: I will say it has gotten better. We used to
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: go for like two minutes on each item.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: Well, sure, but the actual time unit thirty seconds, hasn't changed.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: And that means it's time for us to talk about
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: stories what fit in thirty seconds or less?
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: All right, and I get to go first, And the
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: first thing we're going to talk about is Galaxy Quest,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: which is an awesome spoof on Star Trek. If you
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: haven't watched it do it's so good. But it's hitting
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: its twenty fifth anniversary and to celebrate, they're getting a
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: four K restoration of the movie edition with like you
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: you can get like a steelbox cover art version. It's
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: gonna have Dolby Vision, HD bar and audio and then
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: like something from the director on there and I Gaescy
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: special features and I hope that it has some outtakes
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: that we've never seen before, because that would be amazing.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: I hope it comes by grab Thar's Hammer. It appears
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: that Pure Evil has won out over the Time Bandits
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: because the Apple TV Plus series based off the Terry
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: Gilliam film of the same name, will not be returning
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: for a second season. Well, I preferred the original film's
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: style and sense of humor to the series. I thought
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: that the kid playing the main character was absolutely fantastic,
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: The settings were really neat, and Jamaine Clement's version of
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: the character Evil was a lot of fun.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Sorry to see it go, yeah, for sure. Next. We
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: had talked a while ago about Clue possibly getting a reboot.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: At the time, I think it was Ryan Reynolds was
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: looking at it or something. Well, now there is a
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: rumor big R that maybe Zach Kreeger is in talks
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: to direct a Clue reboot film and along with Shae
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Hatten to write the script. Shee Hatton worked on things
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: like John Wick Chapter three and Rebel Moon An Army
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: of the Dead. Zach Kreeger, Yeah, Zach Creeker has lately well.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: I originally was introduced to him in a sketch comedy show,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: The Whitest Kids you know, which if you're you have
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: sensitive sensibilities, you do not want to watch it. He
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: has lately been into horror movies such as Barbarian and
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: the upcoming Weapons, So it makes me really interested to
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: see what kind of Clue movie he would make. Also,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: whether it's a horror or a comedy, I should totally
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: get a chance to audition. I would kill a Clue character,
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: not literally, figuratively.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: No, you just spoiled the whole movie.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: And or maybe literally.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: Guriel did it in pre development with the critical commentary.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Sorry that was longer than thirty seconds.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's okay, what a weird I can't even imagine
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: what kind of Clue movie would come out of that.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: All right, if you've been waiting for a John Cena
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: Helm to action movie based off the classic Matchbox toy
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: cars line that belongs to matel these days, while I
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: got some promising news for you, because it looks like
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: such a project as actually in development, I'm tempted to
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: just write this off entirely. But then we did get
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: a pretty darn good Barbie movie not too long ago,
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: so maybe I shouldn't be so hasty. And Matchbox cars
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: are awesome. Those things can survive a nuclear blast, can
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: I really well, I don't know about that, but they're
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: like those die cast toy cars. They're just so tough.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: Like I used to play with those, where I did
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: the thing that all kids would do, especially in the eighties,
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: where you would build like a homemade track that was
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: designed to make the car go to approximately warp five
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: and smash into like a brick wall and they'd be fine,
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: just keep playing with it.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: Next story is that we're gonna talk more about Geek
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Dweek from Netflix later in the show. But one of
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: the things that was announced was on Twitter was a
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: bunch of people who are going to be in season
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: seven of Black Mirror. That includes Peter Capaldi, who's one
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: of the doctors and doctor who Emma Corn who was
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: the Cassandra Nova in Deadpool and Wolverine, and also Paul Giamatti,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: who has done geee stuff as well. It's it. But
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: the thing is you have to like keep pausing the
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: tweet because it goes by so quick. Is the Ray
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: is also going to be in it, and a bunch
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: of other people, and I just I didn't have enough
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: time to watch it, enough time to pull all the
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: cool names out of it.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's It makes me think of those mean things
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: where it's like pause the image to find out which
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: blah blah blah character you are, and it's just just
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: rapidly cycling through all the different images and then you
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: click the pause and you're like, pinky pie or whatever,
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: Well here's my last one. Amazon MGM has picked up
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: the rights to a film based off the video game
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: series The Sims. Kate Heron, who directed the Disney Plus
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: series Loki, is helming the project and is co writing
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: the script with Brianny Redman. I don't know how much
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: writing is actually involved, because I expect all the dialogue
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: will sound like brebopscre La La Marshall, Rushtick Shawshaw, et cetera.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: Here's hoping it's not a horror movie in which people
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: get stuck in a swimming pool and then all the
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: latters mysteriously disappear.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: For those words, did you do as Similish to English
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: or vice versa translation.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: No, I did not. I just literally was like what
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: kind of sounds are in the SIMS games without actually
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: looking any of it up.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: I expect a SIMS movie to be similar to like
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: Free Guy, where bad stuff and hilarious stuff befalls all
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: the characters.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, suddenly you can't find a toilet and you have
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: to mess yourself. That'll be great that I don't want to.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: Watch that, but I would not put it past a
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: movie nowadays. The last last story in thirty seconds or
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: last is if you like Mass Effect and you can't
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: get enough Mass Effect and you can't wait for the
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: new Mass Effect to eventually come out, well, there is
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: an official cocktail cookbook coming out that has seventy recipes
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: inspired by events and locations from Mass Effect the game.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: It's twenty eight bucks and they The cool thing is
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: they have substitutions and alternative suggestions in it, so you
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: can make non alcoholic versions of the drink. So you
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: can enjoy the recipes regardless of age.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: Nice. Cool. So that's thirty seconds or less. And now
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: it's time for us to go through a whole bunch
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: of trailers, not all of which are for scary stuff.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: No, and I had no, no, no clue on which
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: were horrors, horry, horrors.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the title I try to.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Say horror and scary at the same time. It does
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: not work.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: Horries, Yeah, I know that. Anyway. The titles run the
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: entire gamut, and some of the titles don't sound scary
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: but are and some do sound scary but aren't.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, but it's okay. I was able to watch
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: all of the trailers, only a couple of them. I
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: didn't understand.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: Our first one, though, is for an actual documentary, and
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: it's a very It's a sad story, sad and inspiring
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: at the same time. It's titled The Remarkable Life of Ibelin,
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: and it's you. If you have followed World of Warcraft,
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: you may have heard about this story. It's about a
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: young man who had a degenerative muscular condition that had
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: him confined to a wheelchair, and his family had sort
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: of resigned themselves to this idea that he was just
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: never going to have an opportunity to really make an impact,
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: Like it was just a really tragic life. What they
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: didn't know, Like they knew he was fond of computer game,
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: but they didn't know that he was finding friendships online
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: through the game World of Warcraft. And it's a really
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: sad story because obviously the young man passed away in
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: twenty fourteen, this was quite some time ago, but his
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: passing made a huge emotional impact on the people who
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: knew him in game, many of whom made the trip
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: to Norway to attend his funeral at his passing. And
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: so this is a documentary that tells that story. And
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: the trailer alone, if you're an emotional person like I am,
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: is going to get you like at least misty eyed.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, for sure, but it is it is
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: wonderful to see that you know, this person made an impact,
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: and you know, we're on a podcast. So I hate
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: to say that social media breeds a lot of bad things,
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: but social media does breed a lot of a lot
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: of bad, hard things. But it also has brought to
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: like it has given a platform to people who who
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: may have been considered less than or had families resigned
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: about their life.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: Prior isolated for some reason.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the opportunity to be like, hey, I'm a cool
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: person and I want to connect and give them the
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: opportunity to connect and touch other people's lives and help
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: maybe other people going through the same situations. So I
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: am so glad that they're doing this story.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I just recently did an episode of tech Stuff
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: about mental health and social network sites, because there's a
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: lot of there's a lot of common sense type stuff
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: that suggests that overuse of social network sites leads to
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: a bad impact on mental health. But the point I
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: was making is that while that is very probably true,
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: we don't exactly have definitive studies making that link right, So,
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: like it seems to make sense, but you can't just
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: assume that that's true. You need to be able to
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: look at evidence and make sure that what you think
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: is true really is true. And that we shouldn't forget
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: that while social networking sites can have a negative impact,
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: they can also have a very positive one, and that
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: it gets very easy for us to focus just on
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: the negative aspects and to forget about how they have
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: the potential to do things like connect people together who
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: otherwise never would have met and never would have had
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: a chance to be part of each other's lives. So
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: this trailer is, i think, again, very sad, but very inspirational.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, so I don't know how much of How
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: I Met Your Mother used to watch, but there is
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: an entire episode where the main character Ted Mosby, one
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: of mecharacters, met someone he was dating through World of
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: Warcraft and it was a huge joke. But like I
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: use my my family is currently playing World of Warcraft
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: Ascension classless, uh you know, and it's been a way
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: for me to hang out with my family and connect
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: with them.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: So well, don't let World of Warcraft dictate that. I
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: think your your family has plenty of class I I mean, I.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: Think so too. It it's but since I've started playing
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: with them, and I've only played once because time zones,
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: but but I plan on playing more with them, I
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: have been getting hit at nauseum with World of Warcraft ads.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, well, you know, I met my my partner
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: through the internet, so like, I mean, granted that was
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: thirty years ago, but it's still like that was that
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: was how I met her, and so like, I also
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: maintain that belief that you can obviously create and maintain
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: meaningful relationships online. Honestly, the thing I think that stands
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: the way more than anything else are the platforms themselves
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: and things like recommendation algorithms, Because when you get down
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: to it, the platforms are not designed to facilitate communication.
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: They're designed to try and keep you there as long
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: as possible, to sell as many ads as they can.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: So when you get that in your mind and you're like, okay,
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: well that's why the platforms exist, like that's their money
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: making strategy, then you get a better appreciation for what
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: is and isn't typical on those sites.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I've become very diligent about like is this a
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: friend post popping up? No, this is a random thing,
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: and list really hits me. I'm like, no more of these,
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: thank you?
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, well, speaking of no more of these, I
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: don't know that's kind of.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: Makes You're going to talk about a horror movie.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: No, it's it's this is a kid's movie.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: Are you sure it's pretty scary.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: I don't know that it's scary, but it definitely as
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: a extreme opening premise. We're talking about dog Man, a film,
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: a film in which the protagonist is part dog, part man.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: Dog's head on a man's body.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, not through natural ways. It's not like Sweet Tooth
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: where this character was just born like this. No, there's
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: a horrible accident and they pull some gosh darn Mars
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: attacks level surgery because putting a dog head on a
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: man's body is a way to preserve both both people.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: I guess.
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, it's a dog's head on a CoP's body,
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: and so now you've got a cop that has a
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: dog head for a head.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: Also, wasn't it like wasn't it like the dog's owner
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: or something like that.
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: Maybe I don't want to think about that too much,
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: but it is a cartoon, and it is like it's
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: using humor to kind of go through all the tropes
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: of like your typical cop action film, except that your
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: protagonist is a cop who has a doghead, and it's
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: done in a very cartoonish style. It's not at all realistic,
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: but it does look the humor does look bizarre for sure.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: For sure that I have nothing to add the premise
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: kind of creeps me out a little bit immediately.
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: When on Ariel's top five films that she's anticipating.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: List, yes, exactly. Actually, something that did surprisingly go on
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: my I'm anticipating it list is this movie Brothers that
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: is next in our list to talk about.
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so Brothers. It was kind of given me Cohen
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: Brothers vibes, like it kind of felt like a Coen
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: Brothers movie, but a little too comedic, like.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: Like Logan Lucky.
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: I was thinking, well, I haven't seen Logan Lucky, so
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: you need to fix that. I know, I know, but
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: unfortunately you have me on this New Girl assignment that
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: I'm going to have to get to, so it's just
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: gonna have to wait.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: Do do Logan Lucky is one movie? You can do
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: that first and then do New Girl.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: You can't keep moving assignments around. It is going to
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: give me executive dysfunction.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, fine, keep New Girl and then do Logan Lucky.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: Just added to the bottom of the list, all right. Well.
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: The Brothers is a film in which uh, Peter Dinglish
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: and Josh Brolin play twin brothers. Peter Dinglich's character is
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: a criminal who talks his brother into participating in various crimes.
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: Like you get the feeling that Josh Brolin's character would
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: rather not be a criminal. But he keeps getting talked
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: into it. Marissa Tomae is in this, Glenn Close is
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: in this. Like the list of the list of high
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: end actors is incredible. Brendan Fraser plays like a corrupt
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: cop in it. And the trailer, like I said, it
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: was giving me Coen Brothers vibes, like I was thinking
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: about something like Big Lebowski excepted again, this is more
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: overtly comedic, Like there's more zany comedy stuff than the
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: surreal absurd comedy you typically end up with a Cohen
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: Brothers film.
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: But yeah, and then there's this surrealness of the like
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: they know the trailer for it knows because they're like
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: Academy or Award winner, this person, award nominee, this person,
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: Award winner, this person, so they know it's ridiculous.
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but the trailer looked looked funny. I could probably
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: do without the orangutan subplot.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: Probably.
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: I feel like that's gonna just be one of those
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: things where I'm like, this feels like a Fairly Brothers
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: as opposed to a Cohen Brothers thing.
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I agree, I could. I could do without
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: that subplot. Did you ever watch Palm Springs?
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: I have not seen it.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: No, okay, it was. It was the one that had
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: I think. It was Andy Samberg and Kristen Melody as
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: people who meet at a wedding and both are really
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: like unenthused with life and then they go through like
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: a groundhog type Groundhog's Day type situation.
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: That old chestnut, that old chestnut.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: It was. It was a fun movie. This is done
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: by the same people, so that automatically made me a
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: little bit excited about it. Not gonna lie.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I like the trailer. I thought I thought it
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: was funny. No, it struck me as fairly entertaining. I
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: love Peter Dinkli's work. I think that he's he's really
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: fun actor to watch. So, uh, I'm definitely curious about this.
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: I might wait to read some reviews before I decide
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: to go see it, because if it does turn out
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: that it's going to be more like if it ends
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: up on the spectrum of Cohen to Fairly Brothers, if
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: it's more Fairly and less Cohen, I probably am not
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: going to go see it. But uh, if it's the
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: other way, then I'm more interested.
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I yeah, I look. I look forward to it.
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: I hope it hits the Palm Springs vibe, which I know,
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: you know, don't know what that is, but it is.
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: Palm Springs and Logan Lucky are kind of in between
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: Farley and and Coen Brothers, so.
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: Well, going from fun to harrowing. The next trailer that
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: we watched for our our show is for a psychological
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: thriller film called.
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: B B B I B I yeah and I I
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be real hones. They were taping up my
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: windows to paint my house when this happened, so it
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: was very, very loud, and it was really hard to
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: pay attention to this trailer. And I even read like
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: the wiki summary on what the story is, and I
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: know it's this woman who is dealing with trauma and
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: then takes medicine to deal with trauma and so she
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: can't tell what's real and not. And that's all I
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: got from the trailer. I don't actually know what's happening
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: with the carousel you see within the trailer, or the
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: cowboy guy from Dark Tower or the Little Kids or anything.
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so generally speaking, like, yeah, there's this issue of
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: kind of the unreliable narrator element where because of her
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: mental condition and the medication she's taking. You don't know
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: how much of her perception to trust. But there's also
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: kind of a stalker element to the storyline, and again
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: you don't know, like, is she being stalked. Is the
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: thing that's stalking her just a regular person. Is it
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: some sort of like supernatural entity because that's how she
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: perceives it. How much of that can you trust? What's
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: actually going on? Yeah? Is it her grief? I think
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: all of those are intentional, not just in the trailer,
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: but I'm assuming in the film itself. I mean, it's
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: always hard to tell because you have to keep in
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: mind the people who are responsible for creating trailers, they're
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: usually not the same people who are responsible for making
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: the movie. And sometimes the people making the trailers are like,
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know how to sell this film, so I'm
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: just going to cut a trailer that makes it look
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: like a totally different kind of story. And that's when
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: you get trailers that don't represent the movie properly. I'm
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: not saying that's the case here, I'm just saying that's
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: always a possibility. I thought this looked intriguing, but it
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: was not the kind of trailer that that automatically gets say, oh,
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: I have to go see that response from me for sure?
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: For sure, I agree. It's no Waves of Madness?
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: What is, in fact, what is the waves of Madness?
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: Can you seriously tell me what Waves of Madness is?
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: Yes, it is the next masterpiece in the catalog of
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: Jason Trost and Trust Brother movies apparently, which if you
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: don't know them, they did All Superheroes Must Die and
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: many FP movies, including ones that go to space with
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: space ducks. Not even kidding, I can't.
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: Even process what you're saying right now.
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: But this is a This is like a B level
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: movie about a guy who is played by Jason Trost
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: who goes onto a sh to rescue people and is
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: being attacked by Cathulian horrors. It looks like and you
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: can't tell if also it's in his mind or if
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: it's real. But the thing that they're using to advertise
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: it is that it's a side scrolling horror film, which
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: is interesting. I couldn't really get that from the trailer.
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: It didn't feel like a side scroller to me.
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there were moments in the trailer where clearly it's
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: like going into the background or coming from the background
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: into the foreground, which in a side scroller you wouldn't
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: do right, you would stay essentially on the same plane,
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: like I think of things like double Dragon, where yeah,
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: technically you could go quote unquote back, but back is
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: like a quarter inch higher than front. Yeah, so I agree.
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: I almost got the feeling like the side scrolling thing
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: ended up becoming more evident during the editing process and
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: wasn't necessarily intentional from the beginning. But I don't know. Yeah.
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's also in black and white, so it gives
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: it that very like Sin City, Sin City or Miskatonic feel.
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: I think, have you never?
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: Have you?
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: We've talked about this and I just can't remember. I
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: have too much construction noise in my brain. Have you
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: watched The FP or All Superheroes? Must I? Or any
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: of those?
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: Is the f FP the one where it's set in
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: a post apocalypse where major disagreements are are solved by
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: a duel with dance Dance Revolution. Yes, never heard of it? No, Yes,
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: I have seen that one.
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: Yes, Okay, it's dumb. It's really dumb. But I enjoyed it,
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: and I especially love it because the main characters are
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: j Trow Because the actor's name is Jason Trost and
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: l E because the actress name is Lee, but they do.
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: And the Jason Trost and his brother whose name I
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: can't remember at the moment work on a lot of
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: like really legit movies too, but their passion is making
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: these original movies. Also, Behers Must Die is actually a
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: really fun movie.
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: It just the the FP reminded that one came out
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: early in a phase where we started getting the nostalgia
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: heads right, like, we started to get films and projects
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: that were overtly tapping into nostalgia. The FP was on
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: the front end of that trend, like they were, because
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: it felt kind of like a Mad Max style movie,
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: except that dance dance revolution is the way to settle
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: all disputes and to determine who's like the leader or whatever,
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: and so it's an absurd premise. But then we got
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: like that BMX by Bike post apocalyptic movie, I can't
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: remember what the Turbokid we got, Turbo Kid we got.
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: Then we got Kung Fury, which was taking an Internet
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: short and turning it into a longer format, nostalgic Kung
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: Fu like eighties style movie, which, by the way, worked
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: way better as a short film online than it did
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: as a full project. Unfortunately, then later on we got
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: things like Stranger Things where you started to get larger
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: studios tapping into that same trend. But I would argue
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: the FP was kind of like the tip of the
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: spear when it came to that kind of esthetic and
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: that kind of approach. So the FP is the only
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: one I've seen. I haven't seen the Superheroes Must Die one,
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: but the FP was. I was impressed by the imagination
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: of the FP like that. The whole premise tickled me,
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: So that might be enough for me to give the
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: Waves of Madness a try, whereas the trailer didn't really
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: impress me much. Yeah.
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: Jason Trost, the brother Brandon Trust, is a cinematographer and
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: director who has worked on things like American Pickle and Night,
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: Bitch and Knuckles and Dear Evan Henson and Sonic the Hedgehog.
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: So like bog Yeah, these people do Future Man one
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: episode Bury one episode, very very is amazing. All Superheroes
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: must Die. It's the story is for young superheroes. I'm
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: reading this find themselves stripped of their powers by their
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: arch enemy. They thought they had defeated years earlier, and
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: they have to go through a number of challenges by
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: the villain in order to save an abandoned townful innocent
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: citizens without their powers. But the interesting thing is it
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: had Lucas Tillinett who later became an ex man, and
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: also Sean Whalen.
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: So nice. Yeah, so uh yeah. I don't know if
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: that's gonna if any of that applies to the Waves
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: of Madness.
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: But I am gonna watch it.
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: I might wait for Aeriel's review before I decide whether
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: or not I'm gonna pour time in it or if
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: it's just gonna go behind what is it? It's new Girl?
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: And then logan Lucky, Logan Lucky, He's so good. Okay.
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: Next up, we got a trailer for kind of a
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: sci fi comedy slash action slash horror movie in a
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: way I think, more less horror than the others. But
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: it's called Mickey seventeen. And as I was watching this,
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: I was like, I feel like this was heavily influenced
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: by certain types of video games, Like I'm specifically thinking
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: of things like border Lands, not for the aesthetic, but
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: in Borderlands, the way that game handles character death, Like
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: when you're When your character at that you are playing
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: ass dies, it regenerates you at the closest regeneration point,
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: and you lose some money in the process. It's deducted
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: that the cost of your resurrection is deducted from your money,
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: and then you're allowed to continue. This is kind of
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: similar in that Mickey seventeen is a story in which
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: a character, desperate to escape his situation, signs on to
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: work for a company, and the gimmick is the work
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: he does is incredibly dangerous, and if he dies in
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: the process of work, the company regenerates him and his
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: clone continues to work the job. And in this story
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: the seventeenth clone, so he's died sixteen times already. The
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: seventeenth clone avoids death and then encounters the eighteenth version
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: of his clone. But two versions of the same clone
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: are not supposed to exist at the same time, and
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: that's where the real conflict of the film kicks in.
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, definitely a dark comedy. It gave me like
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: very like Avenue five vibes.
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: It is done by h Bong Juno, who has also
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: done Snow Piercer and Parasite, which I would argue are
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: two movies very much on the opposite side of the
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: spectrum from each other.
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: Well, except that they're both like deeply, deeply satirical, and
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: they're deeply they're both commenting on society, just they're doing
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: it in wildly different ways.
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's a different reception. I feel like as well.
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: Well. I think both films are fantastic. I think Parasite
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: is a masterpiece.
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: A bunch of awards, didn't it.
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it won, It won the Academy Award, and upset
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: a bunch of ignoranemuses.
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: But I have a bunch of friends who do not
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: like Snow Piercer at all. I have not watched it.
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: I've only seen the sushi scene.
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: Oh. I love snow Piercer. I love that movie. I
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: haven't watched the series, but I have. I've watched the movie,
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: and I love the movie. I don't think it's a
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: perfect film, and I think the social commentary of Snow
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: Piercer kind of falls apart in the third act, but
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: I loved it. Tilda Swinton is as always perfect ed,
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: Harris is amazing. Chris Evans does really well on it too.
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: I really enjoy snow Piercer. I think it's I think
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: it's worth a watch.
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: I will add it to the bottom of my list. Yeah,
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: but Mickey seventeen. Honestly, when I saw the this is
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: one of the things I confused it with a documentary
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: that Disney was doing.
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: I thought it was going to be about Mickey Mouse.
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: Well, no, because they've they've got some they've got like
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: some space documentary that they've been working on or came
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: out recently years coming out soon and between the space
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: picture of that. Because the image on the trailer is
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: just Robert Pattinson's space in a space helmet, you can't
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: really tell what the movie is about. And the name Mickey,
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, this is that Disney documentary thing.
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: I'm so glad that you put it on our list
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: so I could realize that it was not that.
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't know what to expect. I saw just
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: that the trailer popped up in YouTube, and I thought,
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: I'm going to watch this and see what this is about.
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: And this is one where I want to see this
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: movie because it looks entertaining, yeah and potentially thought provoking.
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm I want to see it. I am
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: a little worried that it's going to creep me out
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: a bit, because you know, getting burned alive is even
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: if it's for comedy, which is one of the moments
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: in the trailer, creeps me out.
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: Well in that regard. It's kind of given me happy
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: death Day vibes, like and Happy Death Day. I mean
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: that's more of a Groundhog Day thing, not a clone thing.
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: But because time does continue to pass in Mickey seventeen
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: as far as we can tell, like, it's not like
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: the day gets reset or something. So it's not like that,
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: or what's the tom Cruise one that has two titles Edge.
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: Of Tomorrow slash Die diarnse repeat, Live Die Repeat, Live direpeat.
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, those are It's not like that where
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: you're reliving the same time. Time does continue, But it
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: does make me think. In Happy Death Day, there is
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: a disturbingly hilarious sequence of the protagonist ending her own
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: life over and over and over again in order to
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: get to the next the next reset faster, and it
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: would be really disturbing if it were for the fact
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: that the actress just sells it as comedy in a
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: really brilliant way, Like to this day, I'm a a
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: maze that that movie works as well as it does.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: I haven't watched it yet. I probably will watch it
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: on TV at some point, maybe this this Halloween.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: It's it's worth a Halloween watch. I think if you like,
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, it is a darker horror comedy, but I
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: think if you dig horror comedy, Happy Death Day and
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: Happy Death Day to You the sequel that one manages
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: to inject some interesting changes that I think upset some
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: people who just wanted more of the same. But I
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: really I think of Happy Death Day and Happy Death
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: Day to You being similar to Bill and Ted's excellent
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: adventure in Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: Okay, so happy so Happy Death Day to You three
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: is going to be uh Alex White and Keanu Reeves
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: in Waiting for goodo.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: Or there was a third Bill and Ted movie, so I.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: Know, I watched it. It was fine.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: It was fine. Yeah, it was fine.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: It was fine.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: They looked like they were having a good time. That's
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: that's all that really. Yeah, someone that wasn't having a
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: good time was Jonathan when he was watching the next
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: two trailers we're going to talk about, because they fall
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: into the super cheap movie category. Really yeah, No, these
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: Both of these next two films looked like they were
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: really super low budget to me, like because the first one,
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: which is Amityville Where the Echo Lives, I was getting
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: the feel of something shot on digital video, and it
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: was like the quality of digital video from like five
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: years ago.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: I didn't get that feel. But I I'm not gonna lie.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: I saw the title Amitityville, and I did my coping
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: mechanism for watching a horror.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: Trailer on fast speed. You need to just watch this one.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: You can take it because it's not true.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: I think you could. I just I forgot to go
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: back and watch it at full speed. But I've never watched.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: I'm not even familiar with what Amityville is, so okay,
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: so I've heard of it, but I don't know the story.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: So first of all, the title Amityville shouldn't matter at
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: all period, and the reason why is because Amityville isn't
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: like a trademark or anything. So tons of low budget
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: horror movies have appropriated the name Amityville because it has
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: a built in recognizable factor in the horror crowd. The
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: original Amityville, the horror film, was about a supposedly haunted house.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: It's related to the Warrens, which are these I mean,
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: I think of them as con artists, but even if
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: they're sincere, they're wrong. But they're ghost hunters. They're also
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: the ones who are They are the inspiration. I mean,
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: their characters are the inspiration for the characters in the
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: Conjuring series. It's the same people, the Warrens. So the
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: first original Amityville was about a haunted house in Amityville.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: Since then, the name Eville has been attached to all
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: these different movies that have little to sometimes absolutely no
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: connection to that original film. I get the feeling this
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: is one of those where there's really no connection whatsoever
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: to the actual Amityville series. But it is like a
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: ghost movie. It's a horror movie shot on real, cheap video,
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: and it didn't look at all scary to me.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it didn't look that scary to me either, No more,
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: no more scary than I thought. The lead actress in
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: it seemed perfectly charismatic.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: Oh sure, yeah, I don't. This is I don't want
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: to heap aspersions on the people who appear in the film.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: I'm saying, like the film itself doesn't look like it
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: works for me. Not that the actors are bad. Like,
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: I think the actors are doing a great job, or
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: as good a job as they can with the material
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: they're given, probably better than what a lot of actors
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: could do, but that doesn't change the fact that I
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: find the material to be pretty lackluster.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm I'm I do find the next trailer that
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: you lumped into this also, it kind of was lackluster
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: to me, but it didn't feel low budget to me.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: And that's for kill them All two the end, Like
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: narrator bit did feel low budget, but it's John Claude
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: van dam does family John Wick.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's the other note. I'm glad you brought
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: up the narrator thing because I forgot, like there's a
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: narrator in the Amityville trailer too, right, like and we're
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: talking like old school narrator, like in a world like
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: that kind of narrator, And that's something I meant to
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: bring up because I was like, I don't remember the
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: last time I saw a single trailer, let alone two
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: in one week for two different movies that use the
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: old narrator approach, Like that's so out of style that
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: it stuck out to me. For both of these movies.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I feel like I have seen it in something,
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: but it might have been. Like I hate that, I'm
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: about to say this a period piece for an eighties
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: or nineties theme kind of movie. I mean, I hate
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: to call an eighties or nineties movie a period piece.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well we're old.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: Shut up when I am not old.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: When they're playing music by like the Cure on the
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: oldiest station, I'm just oh gosh. Anyway, Yeah, so, like
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: I could see it being done as a almost like
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 2: a gag, like it's meant to be either a joke
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: or it's meant to evoke, like, yeah, this is like
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: an eighties retro nostalgia piece. But neither of these films
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: fall into that category. They're not they aren't set in that,
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: and they're not trying to evoke it, and yet they
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: have the the stereotypical narrative movie narrator voice type thing
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: going on. I thought this trailer looked pretty lackluster too.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: Like I've said before, I need my action movies to
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: have more going for them than just kick, punch, explosion,
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: and that's all this film seems to have. Along with
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 2: along with Jean Claude van Dam who looks like he's
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: been down way too many rough miles.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the thing. He wasn't selling me on it.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: So if he does, if I don't feel like he
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: believes it, then I don't believe it.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, and he's never been a great actor. He's
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: an incredibly gifted action movie performer, you know, but I've
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: never thought of him as a good actor. I've certainly
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: seen him in some He was in a movie that
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: was so bad that I almost wanted to go out
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: and ask for my money back. And I got to
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: see the movie for free. Wow, Like I didn't pay
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: anything for the ticket, and I was like, I kind
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 2: of would ask for my money back, except that I
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: got in for free, so wow. Wow. I can't even
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: remember what the title of that movie was. I just
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: remember it was yet another variation on Kung Fu Tournament,
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: like it was one of those type films.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's sad. It's sad for him too. I want,
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: you know, people, even if they don't put out great work,
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: put a lot of heart and soul into their movies usually,
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: and I want people to enjoy that. I'm sure there
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: are people who do. We have a few more things
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: to talk about. I Am going to be real honest.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: I hear people on my roof now.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, But if we can't hear it in the podcast,
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 2: it doesn't matter. And if we do hear it, it
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: still doesn't matter because we explained it at the beginning.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: Sure, Okay, So the next trailer we have, I just
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: I'm worried it's going to get real out, but if
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: it does, we'll leave the rest of the stories for
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: next episode. But in the meantime, the next trailer is
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: for something called time Stalker, which is a reincarnation bad
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: with romance, revenge.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: Movie, comedy, film comedy.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: Film, high high concept comedy. Is what you call it?
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I said. It's a high concept, raunchy, high concept
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: comedy where this woman is unlucky in love and has
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: developed an infatuation for a certain fellow who does not
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: return her attention and looks like he doesn't even recognize
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: that she exists. And the gimmick in the trailer is
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 2: that apparently she keeps essentially throwing herself in the way
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: of danger so that he doesn't get hurt. She dies,
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: but then is reincarnated as another variation like a century
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: l and keeps on encountering the reincarnated same guy over
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: and over again, and that she's kind of repeating the
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: same mistakes while slowly growing more aware of what is happening,
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: which is again very high concept, hard to explain. Like
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know how you what the elevator pitch is
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: for this movie, Like how do you sum up what
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: this movie's about in just like a sentence or two?
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: But I will say I thought the trailer looked real funny.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: It did, and honestly, outside of one bit, didn't look
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: super raunchy to me.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but that one bit was like at the beginning
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: and I was like, oh my gosh, is this just
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: gonna be like there's something about Mary but in period costume.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: Thankfully, it didn't look It didn't even look quite as
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: raunchy as The De Cameron, which was something we talked
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: about recently on Netflix, which one of the actresses from
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: that is in this movie, Tanya Reynolds. But yeah, it
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: looks pretty funny, it's got a good cast, it's got
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: Nick Frost in it, so yeah, I love Nick.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 2: Now, between this and Crazy House, I'm way more likely
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: to see Tom's Time Stalker than Crazy House. Ye. Crazy House,
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: which is another Nick Frost movie. I just watched the
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 2: more recent trailer for that. Did not add it on
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 2: to our lineup because it was like, I do not
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 2: want to talk about this.
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: No, I appreciate it. The first trailer I was kind of.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 2: Like, h it's worse. Second trailer is worse.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: Good to know I appreciate. I appreciate you looking out
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: for me and maybe our listeners.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: The next thing, I almost got mad at you. For
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: the next trailer we're gonna I do. I think I'm
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: going to watch Timestalker. I'm excited for it. The next
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: thing I was almost mad. I was like, Jonathan, why
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: didn't you give me a content warning for this next trailer?
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 2: Because no animals get hurt.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: No animals get hurt, no animals are endangered in it.
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: But I was real worried at the beginning. It's for
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: a movie called Runt, about a scrappy little puppy who
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: joins agility contests. I immediately sent the trailer to my
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: mom and my aunt. My aunt is a photographer for
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: agility contest. She was like, I have to see this,
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: but you're right. The dog doesn't get hurt or injured
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: or put in peril in this trailer. It just looks
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: really cute and sweet, like like Anne of Green Gables
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: or Pippy long Stalking had a family and a dog.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it definitely is giving me. This also has given
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 2: me vibes of like stuff I would find in the
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: eighties where it's kid comes across animal in need, takes
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 2: on the animal, and they develop a magical friendship, like
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: that's the that's the basis the foundation. And in this case,
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 2: it is a mut a little puppy mutt that the
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: kid begins to enter into an agility contest because the
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 2: top prize is like a quarter of a million dollars,
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 2: and the kid's family are in danger of becoming homeless
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: because they're farm like they can't afford the mortgage on
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: their land. And so there's a little bit of weve
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: got to save the rec center energy going on here too,
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: Like there's or Goonies. Like a lot of people forget
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: that the underlying story in Gooni's is that the kids
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: all belong to families that are going to get displaced
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: unless the neighborhood is able to raise a lot of money.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 2: Same sort of energy going into this. It looks adorable, Yeah,
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: it really does.
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: It looks really cute. Next, we've talked a little bit
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: about geeked week stuff already, Black Mirror, The Remarkable Life
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: of Iblin. We're going to talk about another scary movie.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: But yet. Netflix this week released all of the stuff
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: that they consider geeky that's coming out, kind of like
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: a mini to Doom, but more targeted, I feel like,
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: and theme. The theme of it, to me seems to
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: be not everything because there's a lot like there's a
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: preview for Squid Games two and Wednesday to second season,
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: and Avatar The lest Airbender second season and stuff like that.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: But it felt very much like, Hey, we're really getting
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: into anime, action action and anime.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of that. There's a Devil May
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 2: Cry was getting an anime adaptation, and we got information
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 2: about that it's gonna be airing starting in April twenty
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 2: twenty five, so we got a bit of a wait
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 2: before that series comes to Netflix. But that's one example.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: You know, There's there's some others as well, a splinter
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 2: Cell death Watch, like a lot of video game animated adaptation, that's.
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: Right, yeah, Cyberpunkchlora Croft, Castlevania Magic The Gathering is not
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: a video game, but I feel like it still falls
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: into that.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, is that one going to be animated? I guess
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: so it looks like it is. Yeah.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Rebel Moon's getting a video game that's animated, which.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: Oh I can't I can't wait for people to talk
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: about how derivative that video game is.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: True. There is an anime that I'm kind of looking
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: forward to called Soakamoto Days, which looks like it looks
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: like if if John Wick were a happy grandpa.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Wilford Bremley as John Wick.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. And then there's a kind of it's got
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: like ourcane style animation vibes. A Wolf King series.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: Based off ware World books, yeah, by Curtis Jobbling. Yeah.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: I haven't read at all.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: I've heard about them, but I also have not read them,
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 2: so I don't really have an insight into that one.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But there are two things I hadn't heard about
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: that are not anime cartoons that both look kind of
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: interesting to me. And one is it's a tie series
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: called Tomorrow and I, which has like a very do
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: Electric Sheep Dream sort of a vibe to it.
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 2: Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah. The TV show had a slightly different name
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: I couldn't remember. And then the Platform two, which is
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: a Spanish Spanish sci fi thriller that apparently had a
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: first one. Yeah, it's interesting.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 2: I don't think i've heard about the Platform. I may
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 2: have to check that out, because, yeah, I like a
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 2: good sci fi thriller, but I had not heard about
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 2: the Platform, and I'm curious about it now.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: So it's like a dystopian class based structure that people
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: live in where the very rich start at the top,
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: and once a day food is put on a platform
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: and the very rich get to eat as much as
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: they want, and the platform stops on each level of
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: the structure that people live in.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 2: Got it, So the people at the bottom just get
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: whatever scraps may be left over. So essentially, it's snow Piercer,
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 2: but instead of a train, it's a platform kind of Yeah, yeah,
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 2: spoiler for snow Piercer. But if you're in the back
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: of the train, you got it rough.
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've only seen the sushi scene.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: It is worth watching. I like Snow Piercer a lot.
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: I mean I've already said that, I don't need to
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: say it.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: Again, gotcha. And then another thing that they announced on
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: geeked week was a movie being produced by Sam Raimi
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: called Don't Move, which Jonathan says is terrifying, and I agree.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: The trailer looks absolutely terrifying.
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this falls into that categorory of woman being preyed
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: upon by predatory man, and in this case, the woman
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: in question is injected with a substance that is slowly
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: paralyzing her and that within twenty minutes she will lose
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 2: the ability to move. And it looks like it's almost done,
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 2: like the most dangerous game kind of thing, Like he's
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 2: injecting her and then giving her a head start to
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 2: try and get away and hide, knowing that as time
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 2: goes on, it's gonna be harder and harder for her
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: to do that, to the point where she's just barely
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: able to crawl. And then the trailer includes sequences where
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: she's laying motionless in different locations. There's no indication of
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: how she got there necessarily, but rest assured every situation
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 2: she's in is presented in a way where it looks
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 2: super dangerous for her. Yeah.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she runs across a couple of people and so
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: not sure why they aren't helping her if that's part
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: of the commentary of the movie.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, or if they're just like just as predatory but
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 2: in a different way or whatever.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I will say this set off in me a
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: discomfort based on my sleep paralysis, because when I have
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: an episode of sleep paralysis, I can't move, and this
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: set that off in me. And like, it's not that
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: I couldn't move, but I had that same like anxiety
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: watching it, which I guess is really great. It's evocative
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: of what they're trying to make the danger feel like,
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: so good job. It looks very well produced. Yep, I
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: think it'll be too scary for me.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah. The problem I see as far as me going
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 2: to see this film is that I could go by
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 2: myself because I know Becca will absolutely not want to
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: watch it, Like this is not her thing. She would
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: not want to see it. And the nature of the
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 2: horror is such that I don't really feel comfortable asking
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 2: any of my close friends, who are all women, if
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: any of them would want to go see the movie
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: with me, because it just feels insensitive, right, Like, Hey,
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 2: you're a woman who has to deal with the harsh
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: reality that is sometimes you're in situations with a man
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: you may or may not know that can be really
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: anxiety inducing and that's just your life. Want to go
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: see a movie where that's turned up to eleven?
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: Well, don't worry. You don't necessarily have to ask anybody
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: to go with you because it's coming out on Netflix.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: Oh that's fine. I can watch it then by myself on.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: October twenty fifth. I don't you. So that doesn't necessarily
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: mean that it won't also.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: Get a.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: Theatrical release. Some things do. I don't know if this
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: one is, because again, it was a part of Geeked Week.
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 1: So yeah, the next thing surprises me that it's happening.
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're getting an Australian version, like an Australian take
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 2: on a comedy series that has enjoyed great success in
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 2: two other versions, one for the UK and one for America.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: And it is The Office, which you know, the whole
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: point of it is is how inappropriate the boss is.
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: But this time the boss is a woman and Dwhite
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: is a woman.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 2: And I fully support both decisions because this trailer I
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 2: thought was very funny.
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: I thought the trailer was funny too. I was kind
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: of surprised because I feel like media has been moving
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: past that kind of humor. Into more situational humor lately
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: in the past five years, and The Office is not
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: situational humor. The Office I wouldn't even say it's punching
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: down humor because again it's the commentary on how wrong
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: some of this stuff is. It just yeah, it's it's
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: not what I expected to be coming out right now.
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean it's also Australia, and as we
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 2: all know, Australia is about fifteen years behind the rest
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 2: of the world, so it makes sense that grows.
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: Is that because they go backwards in time?
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's because the toilets flushed the wrong way, which
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 2: is not true. But I thought it was funny to say, yeah,
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 2: I like this. I wasn't sure what to expect because,
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 2: like the first season of the American version of The Office,
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 2: really the first few episodes, not the full first season,
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 2: but the first few episodes of the American Office are
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 2: pretty bad because they were trying so hard to essentially
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 2: copy the UK version of the Office, and once they
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 2: got confident enough to sort of go their own way
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 2: with the concept while still like still maintaining the core
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 2: idea of this this boss who is completely clueless wants
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 2: to be loved wants people to want to go to
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 2: wherek and have work be the place where everybody wants
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 2: to be for eight hours out of a day, but
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 2: is incapable of seeing how inappropriate he is. That was
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 2: still the core of the office, but everything else kind
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 2: of developed its own personality, and that's where the US
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 2: one thrived. It looks to me, based upon the little
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 2: bit we got to see in this trailer, that the
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 2: Australian version isn't falling into that same trap like they
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 2: already they understand the assignment already.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I So it's been so long since I've
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: seen the British version and I don't think I ever
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: watched it like straight through like I did with the
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: US Office. I think just because of availability right when
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: it was around. I know that part of the joy
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: in the original Office was watching Michael the Boss struggle
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: to become a better person.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that is another thing in the UK one. Okay,
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 2: I don't he doesn't even try. He's unaware, He's unaware
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 2: that he's not a good person, gotcha.
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: I feel like there are times when Michael and the
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: US version did was aware and tried to do better,
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: and I thought it made him redeemable.
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 2: There are definitely episodes where he is like the worst
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 2: human being in the world. I'm thinking about one where
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 2: he has to go to a school. That is was
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 2: one of the hardest half hours of comedy to ever
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 2: I ever watched.
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: I agree, I agree it was hard. I liked the
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: way that episode ended kind of but but yeah, that
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 1: was really hard. I wonder, I wonder if the characters
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: of the Australian version will be at all redeemable.
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 2: I know that one of the acts was then the
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 2: film version of What We Do in the Shadows. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 2: so I was pleased to see him in it. Yeah,
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 2: I think it looks funny. I don't know if we
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 2: will have access to watch this series because it was
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 2: being it was posted by the Australian slash New Zealand
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 2: version of Netflix, and not everything gets ported over to
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 2: the United States, so I didn't look into that.
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I hope, I hope it does get ported over,
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: though I would watch it. I've been I've been wanting, Oh,
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: it might come to It's not Netflix, It's Prime.
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 2: Oh, Prime, You're right, I'm sorry. I apologize.
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: Yes, Amazon Prime, the same thing applies. We may not
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: get it because right now it looks like it's releasing
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: everywhere except the US on October eighteenth, according to the
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: Hollywood Reporter. But hopefully we'll get it eventually. I can't
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: go back to my tap. Okay. The last thing we're
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: going to talk about is a movie called Sweet Pee Series.
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 1: Oh it's a series. Yeah, Oh I missed that.
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh. It's a series called Sweet Pee and it
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 2: is starring Ella Pernell, who most recently was in the
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 2: Fallout series.
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: She played the main character Lucy.
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah she is. She's rapidly becoming my next crush, Like
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 2: not surprised, you know, Anya Taylor Joy. I think it's
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 2: I think it's these actors with like big eyes, big
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 2: expressive eyes. Like that just gets me because Anya Taylor
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 2: Joy was she. I mean, I still love her. Anya,
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 2: if you're listening, I still love you. This is not me,
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 2: This is not me. Moving on. I think of myself
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 2: as a very large tent. There's room for everybody. So Ella,
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 2: come on in. But no, she's playing she's playing a
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 2: character who, like, I identify with her so much, just
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 2: from this trailer, which is like, have you ever been
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 2: in this situation where internally all you wanted to do
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 2: was strike out at somebody because they have just ticked
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 2: you off to the point where you, you know, you're
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 2: just like I wish I could just kick your butt
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 2: right now, or worse, like I wish I could just
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 2: wipe you off the face of the earth. I wish
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 2: I could just kill you leaders making me so mad.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 2: That's kind of the premise here, except that she appears
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 2: to give in to that impulse and actually does start
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 2: doing it, Like she starts to let herself kill people
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 2: who have pushed her to the point where she just
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 2: doesn't want to take it anymore. And it's presented in
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 2: a dark comedy kind of way. It's not done purely
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 2: as like horror or thriller or anything like that. And
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 2: as I was watching the trailer, I'm like, man, I
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 2: don't know that I've felt this sympathetic toward a character
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 2: who is clearly a killer since maybe Barry. Yeah.
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: It is interesting because I mean, I can't say we all,
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: but I feel like most of us, especially if you're
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: listening to this podcast, have probably been made to feel
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: less than by others. You know, I've never wanted to
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: kill anybody. I certainly have wanted to, like squeeze somebody's
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: face and she'd be like Ahi, but not to the
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: point of injury, just like, ah.
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 2: You're a better person than I am. I have I
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 2: have had. I have had those homicidal flights of fantasy,
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 2: which I never would act on. I'm a very non
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 2: violent person. I haven't even been in a fight, let
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 2: alone anything more serious than that. But like those little
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 2: moments of just like a psychotic day dream that was
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 2: sparked by some sort of negative interaction, I've definitely had those.
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: I am I hate bugs. They gross me out. I
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 1: looked at a couple of them too closely, and now
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 1: I can't. I can't plus ladybugs bite me. But I
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 1: still feel bad if I go to squish a bug
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 1: and I don't kill it on the first try. So, yeah, I.
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 2: Like.
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 1: I like fighting, like I love stage combat. I love
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: playing barbarians and aggression. But I don't like I don't. Yeah,
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: I don't have killer tendencies.
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think this is also why I like playing
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 2: bad guys, because in real life, I am not a
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 2: bad guy.
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: I don't not you're a very good guy.
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 2: I don't. I don't seek out harming other people or
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 2: or even trying to benefit at the expense of someone else.
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 2: I try very hard not to do those kinds of things,
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 2: so it but it is fun in a pretend kind
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 2: of way to engage in that. So when I saw this,
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 2: I was just like, oh, I can't wait to watch this.
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 2: It looks it looks like it's going to be darkly hilarious.
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I think it might be for
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 1: Anya Taylor Joy and also Ella Purnell. What what appeals
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: to me, and not not in a crush way, but
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 1: just in a like you seem really cool, is that
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 1: they are both very attractive people, uniquely attractive people who
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 1: that's not their stick like they they're happy to be
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 1: quirky or weird or.
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 2: You know, yeah, they're not. They're not. They're not demanding
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 2: that every project they work on makes them look like
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 2: gorgeous and glamorous and you know, uh, you know, like
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 2: untouchable or anything like that. They end up taking on
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 2: these very unusual roles that end up suiting them incredibly well. Yeah,
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 2: I always get the feeling. Well, if you ever watch
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 2: behind the scenes footage of Parnell, she just comes across
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 2: as a huge dufus And I mean that in the
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 2: nicest way. I think Florence Peugh sometimes comes across this
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 2: way too, Like, these are people who have impeccable style.
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 2: When you see them dressed up for stuff, it's insane,
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 2: like a level of style I can't even begin to comprehend.
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 2: But then you watch behind the scenes stuff and they're
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 2: just goofballs, and I'm like, I love that they don't
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 2: take themselves that seriously all the time, and that they
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 2: can cut loose and be goofy and have fun, and
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 2: that just really appeals to me.
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it is so important, And I don't
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 1: know if this is the case with them, but I
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 1: think it is so important that if you are in Hollywood,
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 1: that you don't let that become your whole personality.
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I agree. I mean, I guess it works
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 2: like for some people who still like there's only arguably
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 2: there's only a couple of people out there now who
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 2: still kind of fit the bill of movie star in
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 2: the classic sense, if you could argue Tom Cruise is
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 2: still that. But I'm cool with that. I actually kind
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 2: of prefer having real people who are also just damn
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 2: good at acting like that really is. I prefer that
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 2: to iconic persona who just plays themselves in everything they're in.
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, for sure. Like Jason Momoa pouring drinks
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 1: in Atlanta last weekend.
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah no, you sent me that and I was like what, Yeah,
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 2: apparently that's like a whole thing. It's one of those things,
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 2: kind of like how Ryan Reynolds bought a gen company. Yeah,
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 2: you know, you have like this thing where you've got
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 2: actors who have bought into various companies. And as part
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 2: of promotion, Jason Momoa is in town mixing cocktails for
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 2: this one group of fans, which cool.
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: Interesting.
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 2: I can't drink, so I guess I wouldn't get to go.
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 1: Maybe you could get a non non vodka.
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 2: Mixing Hi, mister Jason Momoa, I can't drink alcohol. Could
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 2: you make me a mocktail and maybe a huge.
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: I bet you could have asked that.
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's and he would have called you sweet pea.
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 1: There we go full circle.
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 2: Awesome, Yeah, great, great way to put a button on
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 2: the episode.
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's all we've got to talk about. And I
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: am pressing my luck before there are people staring in
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 1: my windows at me while I talk on this microphone.
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 1: So Jonathan, if people want to reach out to us
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 1: about any of the things we've talked about, or what
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 1: in geek Week they're excited about, or anything else like that.
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 1: How do they do that?
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 2: So you're gonna have to develop a high concept pitch
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 2: for a movie about the class system and how the
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 2: people in upper classes are able to enjoy a life
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 2: that people in lower classes have no access to, and
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 2: how inherently unfair that is, and that this isn't like
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 2: a meritocracy. It's not that the people who are enjoying
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 2: life deserve it because they've earned it. It's just, you know,
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 2: the luck of the draw, essentially. And you want to
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 2: find a really good metaphor to tell this story. But
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 2: you know, snow Piercer already dead, the train and the
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 2: platform already did like a structure that has multiple levels,
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 2: the top of which is the most desirable place. So
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 2: your big idea is you're going to use a carousel
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 2: to tell your story. Here's the tricky part. Carousels don't
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 2: have a beginning and an end. They're a circle. So
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 2: you're going to really have to crack the nut on
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 2: this so that you can figure out who is it
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 2: that enjoys the greatest amount of privilege. Is it that
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 2: the people who are on the outside of the carousel,
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 2: because they have access to the outside world, are actually
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 2: the highest privilege. The ones on the inside aren't. And
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 2: also the ones on the outside. If it's one of
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 2: those old style carousels, they can reach up and grab
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 2: the brass ring. If you ever heard about grabbing the
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 2: brass ring that comes from carousels, Like some of these
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 2: carousels they have a little dispenser and little plastic rings
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 2: would be in there, and occasionally not a plastic ring
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 2: would come out, but a brass ring would come out,
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 2: and as you go around, you try to reach up
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 2: and you grab it. When you pull it out, you
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 2: see if you got a brass one or a plastic one, Well,
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 2: the people on the inside don't even get that chance.
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 2: They can't even grab the ring. So maybe that's the
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 2: way you go, or maybe you're like, no, no, no,
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 2: it's the ones who are on the bigger horses, which
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 2: isn't so much on the outside. Sometimes those might be
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 2: on the inside, but if it's a bigger horse, they're
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 2: the privileged class. And if you're the one who's just
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 2: on the turtle and it doesn't even go up and down.
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 2: You're like the lowest of the low. Nobody wants the turtle,
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 2: he's stupid. Whatever it is, you gotta crack that code.
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 2: Once you get there, you're gonna take your pitch. You're
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 2: gonna schlep over to all the different movie studios. Now listen,
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be rough because you're gonna be facing a
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 2: lot of rejection that's gonna make you feel like you
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 2: want to kill somebody. And ultimately you're gonna go into
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 2: one studio and you're gonna sit there and the guy's
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 2: gonna laugh you out of the room, just talking about
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 2: how derivative and simplistic your ideas. That's when you're gonna snap.
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 2: You're gonna take the Replica Academy award that's on this
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 2: guy's desk. Turns out he'd never even want it, and
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 2: you just whack him right upside the head until his
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 2: skull cracks. And then you're gonna hear the door open
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 2: and you're gonna think, oh, no, what have I done.
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 2: I've been caught. But you're gonna say it's me and
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 2: you're gonna be like, Jonathan, I have two questions for you. One,
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 2: can you help me move this body. And two it
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 2: can be whatever it is from LLENC and I'll answer.
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 1: But he won't help you move the body.
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 2: Uh oh, I got a bad back.
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And if you're like Jonathan, you already answered the
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 1: question the highest privileges that horses that go with the
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 1: highest on the outside. Or if you're favorite carousel character
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 1: is the turtle because you can just curl up on
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 1: it and take a nap. Then you can reach out
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 1: to us on social media on Twitter where llenc Underscore podcast,
