• 2:37
  Speaker 1: in the day, that's how they used to make video games,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: and the original video games were basically you know, highlight magazine.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: You know when you look in pictures and you circle,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: you know what the differences were between the screens and stuff.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: And not only are we Wednesday pictures because we got
• 2:52

• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Learning center, one of those fake iPads back in the day,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: and I created the first file on a leap Frog
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: learning center.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: Isn't that crazy? The first file, the first ability to
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: hold things in another thing.

• 4:50
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: So I wanted somewhere to put my allowance and I
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: found a way to create files that could create that
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: could hold currency in my game Boy.
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: I was actually in the game Boy Advance.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: One of the first first actual moments of bitcoin. It
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: was completely blocked and safe and it was transferred super
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: easily on the blockchain.

  Speaker 3: as my former career and Renee Raps team asked me
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: to uh stay in the video game room to make
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: sure that everything was up to par in as it
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: relates to to her in this project. So it's been

  Speaker 1: video game, and you're so impressed and blindsided about how
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: good we are what we do. It's really awesome to
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: have you.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: It is like watching a magic trick every single day.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: Because I'll admit to you guys right now, the closest
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: I've ever come to a video game is the Amazon
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: Try it in my Room section, where you can see
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: how big a rug is in your current space. So
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: it's really exciting to you. What have you guys showed
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: be Tetris.
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: The other day?
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I couldn't.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: Believe you never played Tetris. It was amazing and you
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: were kind of calling at commands. You were kind of saying, well,
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: can you move it left? And I was like, yeah,
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: you can kind of move it anywhere, Sharon, that's the
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: point of the game.
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: Absolutely.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: I said, surely you can't move it right and lo
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: and behold you could.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Also because you bring up the Renee Raps team. Tina
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: is super funny in the room and Renee Rap in
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: the room is a fucking badass boss.
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: And that's it.
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: Wasn't there the whole time, but she would come in
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: and pitch and she was a bad ass.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: I just want to contractually get it out there that
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Tina Fey is super funny in the room and Renee
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Rap is a badass boss.
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: Did it.
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: I don't know how our team did it, but Renee
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: Rap is kind of this project now it's like kind
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: of like just hers.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Now, wait, I am I have this thing I was
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: told to read. Renee Rap is all of us for real.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Renee Rap is so cool and just like one of
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: the goals, but also one of the people because this generation.
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: Oh that's an old version. Can you change people to human?
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's Renee. Should I start from the beginning?
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah, from the top?
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: I think.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: I think it's the one that the file is titled.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Renee Rap is better than everybody, but she's also an equal.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Okay, well I have a print out, sorry file, fuck dude.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Rede Rap is just like one of us for real.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: She's so relatable and she's just like a normal people
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: like all of us. She's really funny and she's so
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: normal and so cool and I can't wait to work
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: on more video games with her.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: Okay, you didn't need to pronounce I know, I I know,
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: I'm I added two rs at the end of her
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: by accident.
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: But you didn't need to read it.
• 9:26
  Speaker 7: But I do want to, right. But that's why I
• 9:28
  Speaker 7: love done More.
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: That's why I loved More. Can I say that is
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: why I love Done More?
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Because he is He's the first guy that that movie
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: adaptations for video games. They go to him because he
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: respects the book and he respects the word.
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: And we should say that.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Sharon came in six weeks ago and we all started
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: really working six weeks to go together. But me, Dunmore
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: and Skylark, we've been doing this because it makes it
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: takes longer than six weeks to make a video.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: He does, it really does, and and uh, it doesn't
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: take longer than six weeks to confirm and prove a likeness,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: which is what Sharon's referring.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: But for us, you know, it's tough though, getting notes
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: six weeks away from the law because you kind of
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: have to go back to building character.
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: At that point. You can.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Kind to sell me like there's a lot of education
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: that needs to be done on our part, admittedly, because
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: you got to work me through the building blocks of Okay,
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: how can I give notes on something I've never even
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: seen before.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: It was tough explaining to you that characters naturally move
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: like they can walk forward and walk left and walk right,
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: and you were saying why why so complicated a lot so.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: I think it took a week to understand, uh, the
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: sort of controller, but when you put it in context
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: of this is like a remote for a television, I
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: was sold.
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: I was, yeah, that's how I.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: Think A lot of you about that, Yeah, like or
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: why can't why doesn't she move? Why doesn't she jump?
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: Why doesn't she be able to choose? And then we
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: had to just kind of explain those that's what you
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: get to do.
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: That's why we said, this is like your TVO remote.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and exactly that, and then it for me so hard.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: That is exactly what this is. It's just like this
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: except there's an element of magic and whimsy.
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: Then I'm sure you guys will get into but.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Well, I wanted to point one thing out too before
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: we get into talking about it, because I love to
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: discuss exactly what this game is. But one thing that
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: we did run into since you came on, Sharon, was
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: that you didn't like the angle we had Regina georgiad
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: because as a character, well a character, Yeah, we're playing
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: her from behind, so we're kind of seeing her, but
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: so you made us shift so we had to see
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: her front ways, which dynamically was really hard to play
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: the video game if you're only if you're basically walking backwards,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: like if the lenses backwards seeing seeing Regina's best angle.
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: Right, relaying first person from the front a video.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Game territory a video game has never seen before, and
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: we accidentally fell into groundbreaking, groundbreaking, and I.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Would say, this is not the ground we wanted to break, right,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: this is not the groundmy are looking to break.
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: A level of a video game, Yeah, it was. It's
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: like one of those level of video games where you're
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: running away from a boulder that's chasing you. That kind
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: of became the whole video game for a section of it.
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: But I think we worked around it in a nice way.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Figure.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, But it all starts with done More because he
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: has the book and he works and that's how like
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: explain that, demmr.
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: And then we'll go through the process because it is
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: pretty crazy with movie video games specifically.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, so this is the fifth adaptation of this story, right.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: It started with Queen Bees and Wannabes, which is a
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: book in the early two thousands, and then it became
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: a movie in two thousand and four, and then it
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: became a musical in the mid twenty tens, and now
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: it's a movie musical, and after that, now it's a
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: video game. So the question is which one of these
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: are we adapting? And the answer is yes, yes.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: The answer is yes. And also the answer is Renee
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: rap yes.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: And I would like to point out, you know, and
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: I would like to re emphasize the title of the
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: video game is Mean Girls. The be the musical starring
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Renee rap video.
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: It's the video game.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: But that's really small. It almost feels like you're playing
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: a Blu Ray.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: But you know what's fun is, you know, social media
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: guided us into what we needed in the video game
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: because you know, Mean Girls is one of the first
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: memified movies. So this is a game where we were
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: leading off the memes. So what are some of the
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: big moments. Of course, you get to do a just
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: dance style dance for the jingle bell rock. Of course,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: you you're passing out Valentine's to Glenn Coco. That's a
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: side quest. That's a really fun activity.
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: And we actually got the guy who does link in
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: uh Coco.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, super small. We got the super Smash Brothers guy. Yeah,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: it was awesome.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: The guy who does link just the voice of the announcements.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: I was doing an example Skylarks get we Get Wild,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: like I was doing an example.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Hey guys, can I just remind you guys, we don't
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: we don't fight vocally here. We fight on a Google doc, right,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: So if you guys have issues, just getting back in
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: the Google doc and fight.
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: Oh my god.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: I have to say, for the outside listeners, this Google
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: doc was was mean.
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: It was so mean.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: I've never seen these people go at each other in
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: a way that I've let you guys know extremely personal
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: details about each other, talking about whose toes are bigger
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: than whose toes, and who is and who's and who's
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: got a house that's built on a shaky foundation.
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: How would you know that?
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Well, share, you spend so much time rendering, we end
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: up doing all sorts of shit when you're making a
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: video game, right, you gotta wait ninety six hours for
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: one frame to settle.
• 14:35
  Speaker 7: So we're doing some weird shit over there.
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: So let's jump into what type of game this actually is?
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Skylark, this is your thing because you reatly saw it.
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: You know, when you when you're adapting a movie into
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: a video game, you know, a lot of ip just
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: goes for simplicity. You have Game of Thrones just doing
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: basically a card game.
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: You have Harry Potter.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: You know, over the years they've gotten better, but they
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: start off pretty small. And we decided to hit it
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: head on with an open world action RPG where you
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: play as a student in the Mean Girls universe and
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: you can run all over the school and into a
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: couple of people's houses. We did a spin on class
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: and faction. You can choose your favorite class, and you
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: can choose your favorite after school club. Now, as you
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: go through high school experience, you will be leveling up
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: and seeing if you become a mean girl, a nice girl,
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: a smart girl, or one of the other girls.
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: That's Skylark, Skylark.
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: It's called a plastic, a plastic. Yes, sorry, thank you
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: so much. So you'll be spending points, Skylark.
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: It's called a plastic.
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: Yes, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Don't
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: point the gun at your own head.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Please, don't point the gun at your own head.
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: Sharon, Sharon can't threaten her us, so she threatens herself.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: We all hate violence, actually.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: So we hate violence. We hate violence. And Sharon, I look,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: let's talk about it in this day and age. In
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, or Sharon was bringing a gun to
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: the office and threatening to kill herself follow drugond Sharon,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: that's not okay. I just want to bring it up.
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: Sorry, dog, I'm an old dog. I used to be
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: a p I.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: I was hunting down bad guys Okay, as a mad
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: a rap said, I want the meanest, I want the
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: doggiest dog out there to make sure that this video
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: game doesn't fuck up my ship. And you know what,
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: she got her. And I'm sorry for threatening to kill
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: my wife. I don't mean it. I'm not gonna do it.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: I just like theater.
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: Go ahead.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Our building is right next to Riot Games. We're in
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: the hardest Santa Monica and you and it is. It
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: is absolutely incredible. When Sharon Sanders pulls in in her
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: red Tesla and she comes out packing.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: It's crazy. They had to clear out Tacos del Mundo
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: once you guys ever been there, it's right there on
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: twenty six.
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and I was just scratched in my head that time.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: So anyway, your character is selectable from very many playable characters.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: But at the beginning you want to choose what part
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: of the world your parents are from. Yes, Unfortunately, no
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: matter what you choose, your character is white. So we
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: can have that trademark moment when you first show up
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: at the school where we say, wait, you're from Japan,
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: but why are you white? Or wait, you're from Kemchuka,
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: but why are you white? So it's a great opportunity.
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: We have to make the character white for the whole thing, though,
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: to make that work. It's such a blast.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: It's really fun and I want to mention too. You know,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: you are a new student north Shore High School, the
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: actual high school for me and girls. But we're not
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: going with the literal route, right. It's an open world,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: so you can make your own version of a character.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: You're not playing Katie Heron, but Katie Heron does exist
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: in kind of a wise old mentor style that you'll
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: pop into every now and then.
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: She's Yoda. She's like Yoda.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: You can visit her in the girl's bathroom. She hangs
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: out there and gives you solid advice. If you ever
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: get stuck on a quest, she can help you out.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: And yes, we've got twenty hours of playable main quest,
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: plus another one hundred hours of.
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: Side quests and achievements that you can unlock.
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: You can unlock the achievement of give the best blowjob
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: and get written up on the wall. You can do
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: the achievement of say the meanest thing to a person
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: and break them so they think about committing suicide. You
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: can get the achievement a ton of other achievement, you guys,
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: think of any other achievements, I mean.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, well, the ultimate achievement is level four when
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: you finally get to the creation of the burn Book.
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: And the burn Book we absolutely made to.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Be like a crazy world that is different than the
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: movie the musical, or the movie and the musical.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and in that way, it's yeah, go ahead, Yeah,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: the burn Book is amazing. And in that way, it's
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: just a scrap booking session, right. You basically just get
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: to sit down, and to me, it's the most soothing
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: part of the game. And I've found, we've tested it,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: a lot of teenagers that are overstimulating, over stressed spend
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: almost more time in the burn Book section just kind
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: of making the layout and making sure that the that
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: the letters line up and you're drawing these things.
• 19:06
  Speaker 7: It's very sophisticated and very soothing, and that's kind of.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Our bread and butter, because yeah, here's the thing. It's
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: it's these stark shifts from the game where it's like, wait,
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: is this more like a role playing game or now
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: this is just like more of a soothing because it
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: goes back to a conversation that we have in our
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: office at Wednesday pictures constantly is.
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: Who is this game for?
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: Is it for gamers? Is it for me and girls? People?
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: This happened to us when we did Marley and Me
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: the video game.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we didn't know.
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: It's hard to know our audience people.
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: Is it for dogs? Is it for people that just
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: lost a dog? We could not tell.
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: Is it for gamers that just want a game?
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: We located the location of where most people were playing
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: the game, and it was hospitals, but we didn't know.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: We couldn't get data beyond that, like.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Who at the hospital because the hospital is a variant
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: of different people. But that's the reason why the burn
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: book switches into a crafting area so we can have
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: a more relaxing, more of a Tetris like version.
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I like that, And I want.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: To say something I also really appreciated was and I
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: correct me if I'm wrong, But you guys were explaining
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: to me how there is a level where once you
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: achieve enough side quests, you earn Fetch status, and then
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: once you earn Fetch status, you get to start making
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: changes to the game yourself.
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: You then become an architect in the video game.
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: It's a crazy choice we made, but we just said
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: fuck it. So once you get if you do enough
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: side quest to get Fetch status, you actually get to
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: design certain aspects of the video game, like how quests
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: work and where do you know cash files go.
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: And really advanced type coding stuff.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: And I'll say it's kind of right that I'll be honest,
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: this is an interview. I know that people talk about
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: process on here. That's kind of when things got difficult
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: for us as a creative team is to take the
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: creative control out of our hands and into the player's hands.
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: We are almost like Minecraft god Mode, so you can
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: play as a Mindcraft character and then you can also
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: just become a god that floats around messing with things
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: and creating things. But instead of bricks, you actually fundamentally
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: get to break the game and enter the code. It's
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: super fun, it's super interesting. You can change the game
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: to anything you really want. If you understand code well enough.
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: You can change everything.
• 21:25
  Speaker 7: But Renee, Yeah, Renee is a block.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: But I would say it is hard to I would
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: say personally, of course, Sharon. I would say personally, it's
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: hard for me sometimes to wake up and think, what's
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: my game? Now? You know what I mean, that's what's
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: hard for me to go into the game and be like, oh,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: they're doing bumper cars, but they're dressed as Jigglypuff, Like
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: this is me and girls the video game now, I guess,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: you know. And then we have to clean it up
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: and fix it and change it and change it. And
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: then I go back to bed, and then I wake
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: up and it's a bunch of people dress like Jack
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: and Daxter jacking each other off. But when they come,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Freakazoid comes out. You know, it's like stuff like that,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: and I don't know what they're doing. I don't know why,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: and it's hard. It's hard to figure out. I would say,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: I wish we could lock it, just for me, if
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: we're speaking candidly, and I put this in Google doc
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: over and over, I wish we could lock it and
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: go back to, you know, just letting the game we
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: made settle.
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: This is actually maybe a great time to bring in
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: the the AI disaster we've been having. We built an
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: AI code let Ai into it to design Renee Rap
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: perfectly to act like Renee Rap, and now the code
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: has gotten sentient and acts as its own and kind
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: of has been taking over the game.
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: Renee Rap style.
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: So we want to say that we know where the
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: story is going. But I will say at this point,
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: there's no way to beat Renee Rap, and there's no
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: way to take down Regina George because Renee Wrap, the
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: AI has taken over.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's something we want to work on, or that
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: we've been trying to coordinate between our teams. Is it
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: appears that poetically, the only way to defeat the AI
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: Renee Rap is a one v one monoa with.
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: The real Renee Rap.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: Now, yeah, Renee is skeptical about playing this game. She's
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: skeptical about She isn't sure what could happen if she
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: debates an AI version of herself on a national stage.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: But it's one v one.
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: It is one v one.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: It is not I think this is just the fifty
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: seven and you talking about it. You're the one who
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: brought up the national stage, right, You're the one who
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: made this public. You're the one who's made this vocal.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: We can just have her come in and we can
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: set her up with the private session. We just need
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: her to talk to the AI because the A won't
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: speak to us.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: And again, I'm sorry, but Renee's time is extremely valuable.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: We have a very brief pocket in her career where
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: we are going to go balls to the wall at
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: a ten Renee raps. Team is full of a bunch
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: of dogs and.
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: Hounds who are.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: Who are pouncing on every opportunity, and we are going
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: for it. We are going to get this woman the world.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: We are going to give this woman the world, and
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: she deserves it. So if she's going to do something,
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: be it a battle of wits and strength with philosophical implications.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: It's gonna be on a national stage. I'm sorry, we're
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: not passing that up. We plan our numbers project that
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: a AI Renee rap debating the real Renee rap will
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: draw greater numbers than the DNC debate. We have the numbers,
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: We've done the polling, and we know we've already got
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: Anderson Cooper locked.
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: We've got Don Lemon locked.
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: We've got a debate style. It's all philosophical debate.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: No disrespect, no disrespect. Not hard to lock Don Lemon
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: Is also not hard to beat the current DNC debates,
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: not a hard number to beat.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: It's about four hundred thousand.
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: I think you know what, and I didn't political I.
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: Didn't come here to get political, okay, can't. I'm not
• 24:55
  Speaker 6: sure of here to get politic. I wish you wouldn't, Sharon,
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: it's crazy you think we're crazy. On our Google doc.
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: We don't fight out loud. We fight on the document.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: You guys, I've only I know you at the Rap team,
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: but the rest of you, you guys fight with knives.
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: We do fight with knives.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: We we so Renee likes to do this thing every
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: once in a while, every six months or so. It's
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: called a it's called a rap retreat, and it's where
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: we all sit, Yeah, the Rap treat exactly. And uh,
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: we each every member of her team. So we're talking publicists, agents, hair, makeup,
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: glam stylist, uh, therapist, doctor, literally everybody and me private
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: investigator of course. And we sit around in a circle,
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: each holding a knife and we have a staring contest
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: and basically, whoever blinks first is in trouble.
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: Is that our publicist guy.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: The knife is just for show and again and I
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: want to em beside all all weapons we carry on us,
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: it's purely for theatrics. But you guys, we're just so
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: we're just so happy that in this game I think.
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: We're happy and we're scared because I mean, for me
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: a little bit. We left the AI alone, we left
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: the video game alone, and it started kind of skyheading.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: It's built another video game entirely. That's kind of a
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: physical formation of a video game. It's I left the
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: video game overnight, came back to kind of a bionical
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: leg thing being built on the three D.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was weird. I my daughter was My daughter
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: was playing this game and I walked in and I said,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: are you enjoying it? And she said, well, why did
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: you make us all play a game? And I was like,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: what do you mean? She was like, I walked into
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: the high school as my character. Everybody, all the characters
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: are on their phones. And then and then she picked
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: up her phone and then she was playing basically a
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: version of Candy Crush.
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: So that's really scary. I can't even follow.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: That really strange. So you you set up your character
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: and you walk in and then now all the characters
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: world or addicted to a game that isn't the game
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: that they're playing, so they won't it's wrap Crush, and
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: they won't do the activities or the side quest, and
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: they won't set up, and the NPCs are not NPC ing,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: and so now you can just do what everyone else is.
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: But I'm sorry, video games.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: If the video game culture isn't speaking on itself, I
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: think what we're doing is huge. It reminds me of
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: when I created a cash app on a on a
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: game Boy. What we're doing is so unnecessary and doesn't
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: make sense and that and that is where true change happens.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, I told you guys this when we said no,
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: we famed up Wednesday pictures.
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: We we uh. They asked us to do a call
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: Me by your Name game and we said no, oh episode.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, called me yeah, and that was uh because
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: I we didn't want to do an army Hammer h Ai. No.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: I said yes. I said yes because I kissed that
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: guy in college. But then you guys shut me down.
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we said no, no, no, we really respect that
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: you kiss somebody in college, but we can't with army
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: hammer right now because.
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: That AI would kill people. That AI death. That's true.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: But the peach was gonna be so cute. The peach
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: was gonna be, It's gonna be, it was gonna be
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: the new uh Daxter jacket.
• 28:12

  Speaker 3: you are adapting all versions and so uh, this video
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: game is.
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: The only video game that is also a musical.
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: For what I super fun will be playing through musicals.
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: It's almost like the we have an accessible you have
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: to turn on your microphone and it becomes kind of
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: like rock band for just you score points based on
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: how well you sing and hell we you can dance
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: and it is a blast.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: It's really fun. And this was really fun to shoot
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: you because we did to use a lot of mocap
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: for this, and we haven't talked about that process. We
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: had some people come in. Lizzie Kaplan the original Janis
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: for Me and girls inexplicably signed on to do mo
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: cap for this so quickly, so quickly, and Lizzy's busy.
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: I feel like she's busy, but she emailed us.
• 29:25
  Speaker 7: I feel like, yeah, we.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: Had we had Amy Poehler and Busy Phillips trading off
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: to play the mom, which is uh a kind of
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: a Five Nights at Freddie's style. When you walk into
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: the when you walk into Regina George's mom's house, that's
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: you know, you gotta.
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: Keep horror video game. It becomes a very.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: It becomes a horror Keep an eye on the mom
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: via the camera, or she'll come in and give you
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: a breast job.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, were a breast job.
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: A breast job we couldn't legally.
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: We couldn't legally get boob job, so we have a
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: trade job. I would also love to talk about, you know,
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: the beautiful thing about this game, and like all the
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: the adaptations, is every adaptation seems to get a little
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: less funny and a little less fun and we try
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: to lean into that as much as possible. In our
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: video game, we are lightly changing the characters in the
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: dialogue and the acting to make it seem just not
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: as good we thought it would capture this beautiful trend.
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: I mean, we've all seen the trailer of this new
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: Me and Girls and we are so ecstatic because it
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: looks like they took the original and just kind of
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: made it worse, and that's really excited.
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: There were a lot of lines in this, in this
• 30:41
  Speaker 6: video game that made me laugh less, which I really appreciated.
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: You still laugh though you still still laughed. It almost
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: makes you nostalgic for how fun the original movie was,
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: you know, so.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: At this point you should miss the older, oldest version,
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Like we're like we're spinning
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: it on its head a little bit, and it's just great.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: I feel like it's really important for Wednesday Pictures to
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: be finally getting the recognition we deserve. I feel like
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: this group of people like Sharon Side and sharing, I
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: love your work, but I do feel like we've.
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: I love your work, sharing all your work.
• 31:15
  Speaker 6: And I appreciate it. And thank you for reading my scripts.
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: Thank you so much for reading look.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: In my spare time. I would love to help you
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: turn that your life into a video game. I know
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: that's what you were writing, and it's very interesting, very darkness, very.
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: Dark, but very well.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: Thank you And if you can, I mean, God knows
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: the amount of twists and turns my life is taken
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: through through various countries, various jobs. I mean, we're not
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: here to talk about me, but I would really I, Oh, man,
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: I would freak the frick out if I saw.
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: That in a video game.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: I would say, oh, I was just gonna say, I
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: think you are. I would say, it's it's a big
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: reach to get you to your life to be a
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: video game. But but I do think if you go
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: to some of those open calls, you could end up
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: being a Fortnite character. I really think I.
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: Think he could. I think you could.
• 32:09
  Speaker 7: We're Mortal Kombat or you know, a fall guys.
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: I think you could easily absolutely fall guys.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Your cheeks, your cheeks look exactly like all those fall
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: guys exactly.
• 32:20
  Speaker 6: I can't tell if this is a compliment or an insult.
• 32:23
  Speaker 7: It's lucrative. It's what it is, is lucrative.
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: It's lucrative.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: So if I'm showing up to an open call for Fortnite,
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: am I dancing?
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: Is that what it is?
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: But you have to dance quote unquote, you know, you
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: gotta shake your hands a little bit.
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: I got a couple left feet and two right arms,
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: so I'm not sure. I'm not sure what I do
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: with that, and that's for sure.
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: But you guys, I was taking a look at your
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: at your break room uh, the other day, And you
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: guys have worked on so many other video games. I
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: was blown away so many I had never heard of
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: the the March of the Penguins video game. Yeah, seem
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: to get an you have like a one star review
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: from GameStop post.
• 33:04
  Speaker 7: Well, it was.
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: Tough, but we loved it. It was one of our
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: first practices. We loved the idea, but in the playing
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: what we realized when we released it is it's not
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: that fun to just march as a penguin. At the beginning,
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: it's a blast, but doing twenty hours of just marching
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: forward from food to sea from.
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: Food, oh there's no goal.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Well no, it turns out. Yeah, it's just it's very doable.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: To be honest, it's not hard, and it's.
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: Just very slow moving and you're just marching with a
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: bunch of other penguins. And also devastating video game because
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: the whole goal of it is to make it till
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: you raise a kid.
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: And then you can just die. You get it, get well?
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, But you know, I think like with March of
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: the Penguins, it was such an easy example that like
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: adaptation can be whatever you want it to be.
• 33:46
  Speaker 6: Like my dissertation when I was in grad school. I did.
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: I made the national anthem a song into a video
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: game that.
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: Was so fun. That's why we hired you.
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: Thank you so much. Yeah, yeah, no, that is yeah.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: And it was like one of those things where it's
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: like that nine to eleven Seinfeld script went viral. So
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: did my uh my, uh what did you say?
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: My say you got it?
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: File needs more kickstart.
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: Your national anthem, your national juice pluger in?
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: Well, how did you? And and remind me how we
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: played that game again? What was that? How did you
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: play that game?
• 34:22
  Speaker 6: So you climb up the flag right.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Right, it's kind of a shoots and ladder situation.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, that's basically really it. And then when you
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: beat it, you have to hear the whole song.
• 34:33
  Speaker 7: Yeah yeah.
• 34:34
  Speaker 6: That sounds like a video game with a punishment. Yeah.
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: Well, and that's why it went viral. It was one
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: of the first video games with the punishment if you win.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: I I really love all the games we've put together.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: We have worked so hard on so many movie video
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: games that have gone or haven't gone. I'm specifically right
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: now thinking about our Birdman video game and acclaim. I'm
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: really I'm really bummed. Out because it was really cool.
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: It was mostly a game about having to memorize your
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: lines for a play. So basically what you would do
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: is you'd get a script and you could look on
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: the script on the video and turn the pages and
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: then you'd have a performance. And basically it was how
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: many lines could you get? Right?
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. It was a little more like an
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: actor simulator like where it was just felt like or
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: like a mortician when you work at a morgue or
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: something like that. It was very granular and you can
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: look at the corridor, there'd be a birdman and and
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: you'd keep going.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: Which was why I think that was our first game
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: that we started working with musicians and we had musician
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: sessions because we had these bongo drum players.
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: And it was very district.
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: We realized it was super distracting to have blasting bongo
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: music in your ear while you're trying to recite some lines.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: Which led to our Sam Smith video game, by the way,
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: which I thought was gonna go great.
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: It's gonna go great.
• 35:51
  Speaker 6: Unholy A journey through the Maze.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, unholy.
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 35:58
  Speaker 6: Then where you're going with this one?
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: This one?
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: I I know you guys have tried to explain it
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: to be a bunch of times, and I am still confused.
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: So what don't you get about it?
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's very simple. It's a very it's very simple.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: You're a little slut. You've gotta go get your mom
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: and dad from the body shop. That's all that's happening.
• 36:14
  Speaker 6: And there at the end of a maze.
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: It is the sexy part of the body shop that
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: your parents are there together? Or are you the sexy part?
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: What part of the video game is sexy? Why is
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: this rated M for mature because the maze the maze
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: has nice, lumptuous hips.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the maze has nice hips.
• 36:34
  Speaker 6: The maze a woman or cord was because.
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: The maze has nice hips.
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: We're not making any statement on the maze is gender
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: or sexuality.
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: We're just saying nice hips.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: Okay, all right, don't try and turn your eyes on me.
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: I know I'm fifty seven, But but but, but but
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: but this this could this confused me. I'm sorry, I
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: got a little spit in my mouth. I think I
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: think i'm I'm I'm as as your video game lingo
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: would say, I think a'm glitchen.
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: Oh that's good, you're learning you guys.
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: You know, I was always curious about this. How did
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: you guys get into video games?
• 37:17
  Speaker 7: How did that happen?
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: I actually got into video games because I love video games.
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: I've played video games my whole life.
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: One of my favorite games ever was the Skyrim series,
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: and I just loved it, loved it, loved it that
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: I thought, you know what, why didn't I do it?
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: Do it?
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: Do it?
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: So I kind of fell into it that way. It
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: was amazing. It was fun and amazing.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: I was a writer.
• 37:38
  Speaker 7: I loved writing, and I used to write these.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: Really extensive, complicated web series and I'd show them to

  Speaker 1: that has twenty five different options for the next link.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: And they'll be like, you have nine followers on YouTube.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna make these with you. This is extensive.

  Speaker 1: have you been playing the game a little bit?
• 38:36
  Speaker 7: I feel like you can.
• 38:37
  Speaker 5: Let's let's break it. We've all played tested it. We've
• 38:41
  Speaker 5: all played tested.
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: I want to hear how because you can each have
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: kind of like Balder's Gate three, the game kind of
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: adapts to you as you go. There's so many different
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: ways to get to the same place. I want to
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: hear what factions and classes you guys chose, and what
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: some highlights were for you guys playing this game, like
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: some of your favorite moments.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: Well, I got the Deluxe package, which is what we're selling.
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: I think only in big cities. I think in La
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: New York you can get it.
• 39:06
  Speaker 5: Only big cities can you get the Yeah.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: You can get the deluxe package just for now. It's
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: it's like a limited release. But ship if you get yeah,
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: shipping problems.
• 39:13
  Speaker 5: If you could we cannot. We write video games. We
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: do not work with physical media.
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: We're pivoting. Our distribution company is fucked. I think I
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: think they're going through a divorce or something, but our
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: distribution company is happening. It's just not who they were,
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: you know, it's not what they once were.
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: And you know what, that's just not us, that's not
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: I've gotta hook you guys up with my friends.
• 39:33
  Speaker 6: I know some teamsters out in Chicago probably.
• 39:38
  Speaker 5: Gonna thank you so much for your health care.
• 39:40
  Speaker 6: Thank you. Yeah.
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: I got the Deluxe package, which came with a pair
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: of tap shoes for for the where do You Belong number,
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: which is when, obviously, uh, when all of the clicks
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: at North Shore get divided into each other in.
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: The what click were you in? What click were you in?
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: When you got divided?
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: I did what was previously an inappropriate joke about people
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: with eating disorders. I put myself in The Girls who
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: Love Diets Click.
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: So we had to do a lot of rewriting from
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: the original movie two thousand and one to change the
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: clicks into appropriate twenty twenty four clicks. So, of course
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: you joined the Girls who Loved Dieting Click. Did you
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: have fun playing with that click.
• 40:25
  Speaker 6: I loved it.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: And I had the tap shoes which connect to the game,
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: which is our little tie in for the musical, and
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: it was so fun.
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: You would not believe how hard it is to tie
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: to make tap shoes work as a workable controller.
• 40:40
  Speaker 5: I mean again against the ground.
• 40:42
  Speaker 6: But yes, we made Scarface into a music into a
• 40:45
  Speaker 6: video game. We could do it all.
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: We legitimately did do that, and it was huge Scarface
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: trading card game, very similar to Magic the Gathering.
• 40:52
  Speaker 5: We put it all online. It's super fun.
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: I had a really good time playing. I ended up
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: getting on a seat track, which I suggest you try
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: to get on it too. I ended up playing as
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: the girl who doesn't even go here. It was it's
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: a hard secret role to get into.
• 41:10
  Speaker 6: But the kids on Reddit are already figuring it out.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and that actress came back, that actress with
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: that incredibly recognizable face that I haven't seen since and
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: I hope she's working, but she came back for us,
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: and we got her likeness down to a tee And
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: it's really fun to play as her because you get
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: a little line and you get a solo song in
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: the assembly in the gym and other than that, that girl. Also,
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: I was part of the drama nerds. That was part
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: of it.
• 41:39
  Speaker 7: Oh no, no, no no. I was an athlete, so
• 41:42
  Speaker 7: you were.
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: A mathlete because you guys want to get to the
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: mathlete level where it's math.
• 41:48
  Speaker 5: It's just math.
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: You're just doing big equations. It's just Also in this
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: last playthrough, I had a really fun time. I actually
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: went on a secret too. I became the bus driver
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: and basically the whole game for me became a driving simulation.
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: But it's really really fast and you're kind of having
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: to dodge cars. And I'll let you guys on in
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: this little secret. If you become the bus driver, there
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: are thirteen workable stations and stops you need to stop at,
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: so you have nothing to do with the school, nothing
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: to do with the drama happening there. You're just driving
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: a bus and dropping people.
• 42:19
  Speaker 7: Off until, of course, until, of course, you kill Regina.
• 42:23
  Speaker 5: And that is a very dark thing.
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: Is you have to time it perfectly for her big monologue,
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: in her big moment, and we I.
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: Really worked with you to make sure that the monologue
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: was finished, that she got enough words out of there
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: before you hit her.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: And I do want to say we changed the video
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: game a little bit and that Renee Rap does bounce
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: the the bus brakes when you hit.
• 42:45
  Speaker 7: Her right exactly.
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: Basically because she's so strong and powerful and she's an
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: independent and she's not gonna get hit by.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: But I really like what you did, Sharon, where you
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: told us that on the bus, we had to write
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: when she's breaking the bus, the US then says on
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: the windows, it says, this is the music industry and
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: she's breaking it, exactly, breaking into.
• 43:07
  Speaker 6: The music industry.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: It says, this is pop music and this is Renee
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: Rap popping in and I love it.
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, And then you do have to listen to
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: a full version of Renee raps new song, which she's
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: gonna kill me for not remembering. I am in danger,
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: you guys. I played the game, and I honestly I'm
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: more confused than ever because I got on the famous
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: TikToker Chris Olsen cameo track. Yeah, and so I was
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: sort of just sitting around in a phone until I
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: was called, upon which case I posted a sort of
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: a witty, witty TikTok about the events that were unfolding.
• 43:50
  Speaker 5: It's super fun and just like his real life.
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: You do kind of hang out with Megan Trainer for
• 43:55
  Speaker 4: about twenty hours. It is a blast and such a
• 43:58
  Speaker 4: fun playable character.
• 44:00
  Speaker 5: We entered.
• 44:01
  Speaker 6: I was confused to meet Megan. I was confused, but
• 44:04
  Speaker 6: it seems like they have a great dynamic.
• 44:06
  Speaker 5: So fun.
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: We've got so many Easter eggs that you guys that
• 44:10
  Speaker 4: the Reddit boards are figuring out already.
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: Can't wait for you guys to get in this world.
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: And please don't change it too much. I want to
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: have something memberable to come back to every morning.
• 44:20
  Speaker 6: But also get in there and find where you belong.
• 44:23

• 44:29
  Speaker 2: is just the beginning of Wednesday pictures. We're just going
• 44:33

• 45:02
  Speaker 4: Help Tina Fey punch up the book and then help
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: her punch down the musical.
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: And we should probably address the rumors that if you
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: buy the chapter book, play the movie, also play the musical,
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: then play the movie musical and play our video game
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: in the same room, something magical happens, and should we
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: say something, should.
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: We should address the rumors nothing's gonna happen. I don't
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: know who started saying that there's no there's We wouldn't
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: be able to do anything with that. And I would
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: just say take it, take a cold shower, think for
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: a second, just for what you imagine could happen.
• 45:39
  Speaker 7: Just know that it won't Happping.
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: At your comments section for even a couple of minutes,
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: I'd say general advice for anybody on these hot message
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: boards is to take a shower.
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: I would I.
• 45:47
  Speaker 6: Think I think that I think that'd be.
• 45:49
  Speaker 5: Helpful for you.
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: And also I just want to say stop treating this
• 45:52
  Speaker 4: like ready player. One I think we forgot to mention
• 45:54
  Speaker 4: is that all playable characters, everybody is in the game
• 45:57
  Speaker 4: at once, just like World of four Craft. Yes, and
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: it's been becoming its own universe and is becoming its
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: own mean high school. So guys, lay off of the bullying, please.
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: I know it's integral to the movie.
• 46:08
  Speaker 5: But each other.
• 46:11
  Speaker 6: Disabled the chat. We can disable the chat anytime we want.
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: We have buttons, we can try to disable the chat,
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: but Renee raps Ai has forbade us from doing it,
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: so we are figuring out how to disable the chat.
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: So stop being mean to each other and stop treating
• 46:27
  Speaker 4: this like your new life.
• 46:28
  Speaker 5: It's not. It's just a video game. We're so excited
• 46:30
  Speaker 5: that you.
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: Like it, though, And I did want to go back
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: one second file you said this is just the beginning
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: of Wednesday pictures, and I would just like to say
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: that I actually think it's the middle. I think it's
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: the very, very solid middle. I think we're right in
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: the middle of what we.
• 46:44
  Speaker 6: Do and more, I think we just started.
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: I think in ten years there's a chance this won't
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: even be a blip on what we do. I think, hopefully.
• 46:54
  Speaker 7: I think I think this is right in the middle.
