  Hello, and welcome to Gatesleepers, the pop culture game show that shines a
• 0:22
  spotlight onto everyone's favorite fandoms. I'm your games master and multiple generations of the
• 0:28
  same local bully Matt Watson. But a games master needs games, and games
• 0:32
  need players. So sitting in the front seat of our metaphysical DeLorean, She's
• 0:37
  a podcaster who works in stem so I assume she's already built several flux capacitors.
• 0:42
  It's Audre Stevenson. Hello. I am wearing a lab coat today.
• 0:48
  You are felt appropriate. And he is a podcaster, comic book artist,
• 0:53
  and co creator of Space Oddities, which makes him Darth Vader from the planet
• 0:57
  Vulcan. It's John Williams. Hello, pleasure to be back, Audra.
• 1:02
  John, thanks so much for being here, as as always. How are
• 1:04
  you both doing? I'm doing great. Any day where we get to talk
• 1:08
  about Back to the Future is a good day. It's a good good day,
• 1:11
  good day. Classic film series we're doing. Yeah, it feels good
• 1:14
  when we do these. I was really excited to see this on the on
• 1:17
  the docket. This one, uh, this one is special, nice,
• 1:21
  nice good stuff. Yeah, I feel like we're going to have a room
• 1:23
  full of fans today, this is this is gonna be great. So with
• 1:26
  that, Audra, are you a big fan of the franchise? When did
• 1:29
  when did you first watch Back to the Future. I watched it. I
• 1:34
  grew up watching Back to the Future as early as I can remember. It's
• 1:40
  one of those ones where it was one of the first DVDs we upgraded our
• 1:44
  VHS's of sure, yes, like we had VHS and then like we got
• 1:49
  a DVD player and it was a big deal. And one of the first
• 1:52
  things we bought was the box set Back to the Future. M hm.
• 1:56
  It was day one. So I've been a fan of this for a long
• 2:01
  time, for a long time. And John do you would you say you've
• 2:05
  been a fan of this for a longer time? I mean just by by
• 2:08
  the fact that I'm older, Yes, yeah, No, this has been
• 2:14
  in my life as long as I can remember. We we had we had
• 2:19
  a VHS of it recorded off of TV and it was it was on the
• 2:22
  same VHS as this in Pee Wee's Big Adventure. So though those movies were
• 2:27
  were were always a part of my life growing up. But I remember when
• 2:30
  somebody came over with Back the Future too on VHS when it was brand new,
• 2:34
  and it just it blew my mind. All the future stuff. So
• 2:38
  Back to the Future is infused in my DNA. I love it. It's
• 2:43
  it's one of the top series ever. It's right up there with you.
• 2:47
  Raiders of the Lost arc is like a near perfect movie. Nice. Nice,
• 2:52
  Yes, I can't cannot disagree with that. That's it, absolutely is.
• 2:55
  When you got it on VHS, were you kind of thinking, oh,
• 2:59
  wow, this this futuristic technology that I'm able to watch movies at home,
• 3:02
  that we're already living in the future. What could how can twenty fifteen
• 3:06
  be even better? Yeah? Yeah, no kidding, I yeah, I
• 3:12
  remember when DVDs came along. That kind of blew my mind a little bit,
• 3:15
  like what am I doing with a CD? But yeah, the tape
• 3:19
  made sense. How are they fitting all of that on there? It's like
• 3:23
  final again, what's happening? All right? Good stuff. I'm glad we've
• 3:27
  got a couple of fans on this side, but you'll need some opponents and
• 3:30
  sitting in the backseat of the Dolorean in our minds. He is a podcaster,
• 3:35
  fellow games master, and author find Fane where all good books are sold.
• 3:39
  He's George McFly, but from the timeline where his book arrives in the
• 3:43
  mail. At the end, it's Aaron Randolph Hey, Hello, Hello,
• 3:47
  Hello, and he's a musician, writer, games designer and studio director at
• 3:53
  Terrabit Studios. Keep an eye on the last arc and narrative thriller. But
• 3:58
  today he's here for the thrilling narrative Back to the Future. It's Matt van
• 4:00
  Hoon. How you doing great to be here and thank you for having me.
• 4:04
  Thank you for joining us Matt for the first time. Thanks so much
• 4:08
  for joining us for this Back to the Future episode. I'll ask straight off
• 4:12
  the bat, you're a big fan of Back to the Future. Oh maybe
• 4:15
  just a little bit, yes, Oh, as a model Delareu, I
• 4:18
  have all three of thom from each of the mood. That's the one from
• 4:20
  the second movie, and that's the one from the third movie with the white
• 4:24
  walls and the circuits on the hood and everything. No, I'm gonna start
• 4:29
  to show my age a little bit here, because okay, I was born
• 4:30
  nineteen eighty five, so it was very perfect. So it has this series
• 4:33
  epathus. I saw Back to the Future three at the cinema when it came
• 4:38
  out and absolutely fell in love with it. But yeah, a huge fan
• 4:41
  of the movies, you know, similar every new format they came out on,
• 4:46
  we had to have it. So it was the VHS to start with.
• 4:47
  Then it was the DVD box set, and then it was the Blu
• 4:50
  ray box set, and there was a four K Blu ray box set and
• 4:54
  everything, so every single iteration had to get it and similarly upgrade the setup
• 4:59
  specifically to do this to watch it, and it's all. It's fantastic glory
• 5:03
  and being a musician, the very first homage piece I ever wrote was an
• 5:08
  homage to the main theme of Back to the Future. So oh incredible.
• 5:12
  I absolutely love the series and I agree with all the points you guys have
• 5:15
  brought up so far, and I'm sure many more will come to pass as
• 5:17
  this cast goes on. Yes, oh, that's that's great. I'm glad
• 5:21
  to see you're such a big fan. Bringing out props memorabilia early is an
• 5:26
  excellent move. That's fantastic stuff. And yeah, just getting the formats of
• 5:30
  Back to the Future through the ages like you're moving through time, like you're
• 5:33
  a time traveler as well. Yeah, basically I mean a slightly more mundane
• 5:38
  time travel format, but you know time traveling on the last Yeah, good
• 5:42
  stuff, and Aaron, what about yourself? Welcome as always, by the
• 5:45
  way, thanks for thanks for being here, Wat Scott, Maddy, Hi
• 5:47
  own. We have to go back to nineteen eighty five, five years old,
• 5:53
  and I saw the movie for the first time and I fell absolutely in
• 5:56
  love and excellent impression. I'm going to do one in the quick fire around
• 6:01
  and it's not going to be as good as fair Enough. I won't.
• 6:05
  I am so thrilled to upstage you this early for something that's going to happen
• 6:10
  so much later. So I just wanted to. Yeah. I saw the
• 6:15
  first movie when I was five six years old and fell absolutely head over heels
• 6:21
  in love. I too, For the past ten years, have driven a
• 6:28
  big black truck. And the only reason I was ever interested in driving a
• 6:32
  big black truck is because Marty wanted one. Yeah. Really, the only
• 6:36
  makes sense and he's a cool guy. At this point, I pretty much
• 6:40
  refuse to drive anything else because I found out that I actually do genuinely love
• 6:44
  it. So yeah, yeah, yeah, Marty was on to nice.
• 6:47
  Marty was on to something. Do you have a get local cool kids?
• 6:53
  On the back of your truck, like hanging on with their skateboard and stuff
• 6:55
  like that. Is that is that a problem you face? Well, they
• 6:58
  tend to leave it alone, mostly because I've had a mister Fusion installed and
• 7:01
  there's radiation warnings. Sure, but some of them aren't smart enough to pay
• 7:06
  attention, so they do on occasion, but their hair falls out quickly afterwards.
• 7:13
  They yeah, yeah, they learned very quickly. You see, it's
• 7:16
  already done a number on you. Erin. Yeah, I was the first
• 7:21
  victim. I mean, you have to install it, so that's true.
• 7:25
  That's true if you want to travel through time. It was a sacrifice I
• 7:29
  was willing to make. Yeah. Yeah, fantastic stuff. Another fan,
• 7:33
  I feel like, generally speaking, this can be quite a positive episode of
• 7:38
  gate Leapers, because this is just such a beloved because we'll try three other
• 7:42
  episode you have is so horribly negative. Yeah, I guess. Yeah,
• 7:46
  yeah, we are pretty positive most of the time. But I think with
• 7:50
  most of the sort of fandoms or media properties, there's always like an angle
• 7:55
  to kind of roast it. And it's not to say that there aren't any
• 7:57
  negative parts back to the Future, it's just the positives are so sort of
• 8:01
  memorable and stay with us iconic, iconic, that perfect word perfect. All
• 8:07
  right, good stuff. Glad we've got a bunch of fans to play this
• 8:11
  game. But teams, you're going to need some team names because you're currently
• 8:13
  cruising through Hill Valley on your skateboards listening to Huey Lewis and the News.
• 8:20
  You're such fly dudes. So, just like HL and the N, I'd
• 8:24
  like each pair to come up with a catchy back to the future themed team
• 8:26
  name. Please, let's start with Audra and John. I have some basic
• 8:31
  ones, right. I did try to look up, like, does Biff's
• 8:33
  Gang have a name? No, it's just Biff's Gang, So we could
• 8:37
  be Biff's Gang along the lines of that. I kind of liked the pit
• 8:43
  Bulls because that's like the name. Yeah, I liked that. I liked
• 8:50
  the self drying jackets. I don't know why. I just thought it was
• 8:56
  a cool thing. Is now dry? Incredible? Very good? And then
• 9:05
  what else? I had other ones but I cannot remember those are those are
• 9:09
  some solid off the idea Calvin and Klein a law firm. I've got a
• 9:22
  few on the list. I've got of course, it seems too obvious.
• 9:26
  The butt Heads, the pin Heads, which was Marty's band, Yeah,
• 9:35
  Biff Coo, and the mother Fluxers. That that's very good. And then
• 9:43
  the last one I had, and this was I wasn't sure who I was
• 9:46
  going to be teamed up with, so this was just in case I was
• 9:48
  teamed up with you is missus Fusion. I do like that. I did
• 9:52
  remember my other team name and it was Lorraine Tannon's Tits. We absolutely don't
• 10:03
  have to go with that, but I did think of it. I didn't
• 10:07
  have to mention, Yeah, I'm I don't think I could get away with
• 10:13
  that. Yes, it's honestly, it's why I make a point to think
• 10:16
  of it, because I'm the one who can get away with those jokes.
• 10:20
  I have to utilize this unique opportunity. But I really love the mother Fluxers.
• 10:26
  Mother Flex is great. That's a good bit of business. Like they're
• 10:31
  all so good that one because of the oedipal nature so much. Yes,
• 10:37
  it works, it's great. So I don't know what your thoughts are on
• 10:41
  favorites. Sure, no, that I'm I suggested that one. So if
• 10:46
  you dig it, then of course he Yeah, mother Flex as it is
• 10:50
  lovely stuff and Aaron, Matt, do you have an idea for a team
• 10:54
  name? So it was funny. I was cycling through a few of them,
• 10:58
  but only just now one just bubbled right to the top, and it's
• 11:01
  too perfect. We should be twin Pines. That's good. It's good because
• 11:07
  I was thinking twin Densities, but because both pretty dense. I mean,
• 11:13
  rightly, I don't know. That's sort of twin Pines for me kind of
• 11:20
  floated to the top. And if if we find out that one's carrying the
• 11:22
  other, we can just change it to Loan Pine. At some point.
• 11:26
  Well, I'm really upset because I feel like the other team has ruined the
• 11:31
  team name that I came up with like five minutes before, which was which
• 11:37
  was going to be flux around and find out. But having said that,
• 11:45
  I do have some alternatives. I also thought of Jaws twenty seven because we're
• 11:50
  now in twenty twenty four, and the last idea I had was Doc Brown's
• 11:58
  lesser known sons Carl and Sagan. But I have to say I'm I'm with
• 12:03
  Matt on either the Twin Densities, which I really love, or twin Pines,
• 12:07
  which I'm cool with. Either way, both strong, both strong.
• 12:11
  Do you have a preference, Matt, I'd say, let's I like twin
• 12:16
  pines. I kind of think twin pines is good, because let's go with
• 12:18
  twin pines. Pines good stuff, motherfluxes versus twin pines. Like you say,
• 12:24
  if twin pines get a little mixed up, you can sew yourselves in
• 12:26
  half, cut down straight down the middle, eave you've run over one of
• 12:31
  us and kill us. Old man Peabody is dead by now, he won't
• 12:35
  mind. Yeah, okay, good stuff, all right. And if you're
• 12:41
  listening to this and thinking I'm a gen z piss baby whose reference point for
• 12:43
  this series is Rick and Morty, don't worry his order with a little segment
• 12:48
  we like to call pickle Sorry. Passing Knowledge Back to the Future is an
• 12:54
  American science fiction film trilogy released from nineteen eighty five to nineteen directed and written
• 13:01
  by Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gail. If you haven't heard of it, where
• 13:05
  were you when we relived the eighties and the twenty tens? But that's neither
• 13:09
  here nor there, or should I say now nor then? The story follows
• 13:16
  the time based highjinks of teenage Marty McFly played by not so teenage Michael J.
• 13:22
  Fox, as well as his eccentric scientist friend Doc Brown, who is
• 13:26
  played by Christopher Lloyd. Together, they travel back and forth through time in
• 13:31
  a Dolorean, creating just as many problems as they solve. The trilogy features
• 13:37
  themes of destiny, love, consequence, humor, wit Fordian psychology, hoverboards,
• 13:45
  steam trains, self drying jackets, and the sudden absence of Crispin Glover.
• 13:50
  Spurred by the film's dedicated fan base and effect on popular culture, Universal
• 13:56
  Studios launched a multimedia franchise which now includes video games, theme park rides,
• 14:03
  and animated television series and a stage musical, Even being indirectly adapted into things
• 14:09
  like Rick and Morty, Eh, they can't all be winners. Back to
• 14:13
  the Future is widely considered one of the greatest science fiction films and among one
• 14:18
  of the best films ever made. In two thousand and seven, the United
• 14:22
  States Library of Congress added it to the National Film Registry for Cultural, Historical,
• 14:26
  and Esthetic Significance. Also, if anyone is looking to buy a Dolorean,
• 14:33
  I would love to sell one. It has a ton of accessories and
• 14:37
  has only been driven from time to time. Let's play Gateleapers, thank you
• 14:46
  Adra. Just before we get to today's games, I've asked each player to
• 14:48
  bring in a muse, something that inspires them or something they love from this
• 14:52
  particular fandom. Back to the Future is inspiring to me because by twenty fifteen
• 14:56
  they thought we'd have flying cars. They don't even have them in twenty twenty
• 15:01
  four, but they did predict multi screen based hyper consumerism. So hats off
• 15:05
  there. That was spot on, uh oudro. We'll start with you,
• 15:09
  what's inspiring you from the world of BTTF. I have two main things.
• 15:13
  My apologies for if either of these are going to steal from somebody else,
• 15:18
  but I have both Doc Brown and the Doloreate. Oh wow, too big
• 15:24
  hitters, yeap. So they do come down to a central theme in the
• 15:30
  sense of Doc Brown was a scientist, and so I thought, growing up,
• 15:35
  science is kooky and wild and we're just inventing things and we get to
• 15:41
  make models that are not to scale and set things on. I thought that's
• 15:43
  what science was. Turns out it's a lot of paperwork, it's a lot
• 15:48
  of writing, boring things down and yeah, they deleted those scenes, all
• 15:56
  of his lab notebooks where he like does like good laboratory press practices of like
• 16:00
  a single strike through. He did inspire me, and I did end up
• 16:03
  going into science, so that's awesome. And also a DeLorean. Growing up,
• 16:07
  there was no car I wanted more than a DeLorean. I am like
• 16:12
  a six year old kid. I am ten years away from a driver's license
• 16:17
  and so many years away from being able to afford an actual vehicle of my
• 16:22
  own. That's not whatever I can get my hands on for five hundred bucks,
• 16:26
  But I wanted a DeLorean so bad, only to find out I don't
• 16:30
  think they're great cars. I don't like everything has said that they're not good,
• 16:34
  and so I think my true inspiration is just the concept of childhood delusion.
• 16:42
  That's a great lots of people are inspired by that. Being a kid
• 16:47
  and just thinking things are a lot different than they are and honestly put me
• 16:51
  in a pretty good position in my life. Yeah, definitely great thing to
• 16:55
  be inspired by. You can take the two big hit as I hope there
• 16:59
  was no one else was planning on being inspired by those two things. Yeah,
• 17:00
  I'm a scientist with a prius, so it's like as close as you
• 17:04
  can reasonably get absolutely good stuff. Good stuff. We'll move on over to
• 17:10
  your Mother Flux's team mate, John, what's inspiring you? You know,
• 17:15
  Surprisingly, it wasn't Doc Brown or the UH or the DeLorean that that Audre
• 17:19
  called out that I'm going to copy, but it was the last point she
• 17:23
  made where where I'm mine is is my belief in the absurdity of the future
• 17:29
  in these uh in these fun family science fiction movies Like I remember being a
• 17:33
  kid watching Back to the Future too, and all the talk on the playground
• 17:37
  was that hoverboards did actually exist, Like you could mattell was actually making hoverboards.
• 17:42
  You know, you just they're gonna come out at some point and they're
• 17:45
  going to cost that crap ton of money. But you know, like we
• 17:48
  actually believed that that was a real thing. So I'm taking that that absurd
• 17:53
  belief and I'm going to channel that into myself and to to you know,
• 17:57
  power up my belief in my elf and my teammate today so we can so
• 18:03
  we can win this game. Yeah, yeah, I love all of this,
• 18:07
  this childhood delusion that your team is that what the Motherfleuxes run on.
• 18:12
  I mean, I did design, design and quotes as a child, I
• 18:18
  was like, they could do it with magnets. If we just put certain
• 18:21
  types of metals into sidewalk concrete, I bet we could come up with like
• 18:26
  paths for sal yeah, or hyper conductors or something. Yeah. I'm not
• 18:33
  a scientist, but I thought that I was. I was not into my
• 18:37
  science career when I decided to work metal everywhere. That's a scientific Just magnets.
• 18:48
  Magnets will solve it. No. For a second there, I forgot
• 18:49
  it was hoverboards And I thought you were going to say that as a child
• 18:52
  you designed in a way to do time travel and it was just lots of
• 18:56
  magnets and metal. Oh, honestly, we don't know how magnets work.
• 19:00
  Then that's from a scientist. Yeah, good stuff, John. I think
• 19:03
  you've got a strong theme there that your team is unified by and inspired by.
• 19:08
  But let's see what inspires twin pines, Matt. What's inspiring you from
• 19:12
  Back to the Future. One of the things I love about the trilogy is
• 19:15
  that it just brings out the best in everybody you can. It unites the
• 19:21
  fans, and you know, the biggest sort of catalyst for this was basically
• 19:25
  the charity efforts that have come about because of MJ. Fox with Parkinson's in
• 19:29
  particular. And this was coming up to about ten years ago now, when
• 19:33
  I was still living in Australia and my father worked for the Parkinson's Association in
• 19:37
  Australia and for the twenty fifth anniversary or Back to the Future, we wanted
• 19:41
  to do a charity screening of the three films, and so just out of
• 19:45
  the blue, my father reached out to Universal and says, hey, we
• 19:48
  want to do a screening at a movie theater, and Universal turns around and
• 19:52
  goes, you know, it's just so funny. We just upscaled this entire
• 19:56
  trilogy to four K would you like us to send you the cinema master that
• 20:00
  you can project at the movie theater. And so like a few days later,
• 20:03
  I have in my hands literally a projection Master digital drive with the three
• 20:08
  each before the Blu ray was released in my hands for this charity event.
• 20:14
  And then we had hundreds of people come and it was all for the benefit
• 20:18
  of the Parkinson's Association everything and MJ. Fox and all those kinds of things.
• 20:22
  So seeing all these people come together not only as fans but ones who
• 20:27
  want to then take that energy and pay it forward to a worthy cause.
• 20:32
  Just was the most unifying thing ever. And that's just tantamount to the power
• 20:37
  of love. Sorry for throwing that it exactly And the last little little nugget
• 20:45
  from that thing was they actually brought in one of the actual film replica Doloreans
• 20:49
  that literally looked exactly like that. They sat it in the lobby of the
• 20:53
  movie theater and I started struck up a conversation with the guy who owned it,
• 20:57
  and I said, it's been a dream to always drive one. He
• 21:00
  says, do you want to? And I'm like, you kidding me.
• 21:04
  It's like, yeah, come round, this is where I'm staying. I'll
• 21:07
  throw you the keys. You could hop in and drive it. And yes,
• 21:10
  it is a pain to drive. It is a terrible vehicle. That
• 21:15
  shot where where he's driving in the Twin Pines wall and he accidentally bumps the
• 21:19
  time circuits with his elbow. I did the same freaking thing. It's just
• 21:23
  inside that freaking car. But I actually got to drive one of the actual
• 21:27
  film replica Deloreans that had the time circuits and the misdifusion everything. So it
• 21:33
  was just an amazing highlight event. So that is I mean, the first
• 21:38
  half of that might be one of the most inspiring muses we've had in gate
• 21:44
  Leaper's history in terms of the power of fandom and the positive change that can
• 21:48
  be made. Yeah, that's that's so inspiring. But then on top of
• 21:52
  that, you also drove in a deloureate it was it was the most inspiring
• 21:56
  one, followed by the most jealousy inducingcisely top marks stuff. If only I
• 22:04
  hunted out points for these segments. Oh fantastic, Matt, that is that
• 22:10
  is excellent stuff, Aaron. I'm sorry that you have to follow, oh
• 22:15
  man, but please, what is what is inspiring you? From Back to
• 22:18
  the Future? This is heavy. I I can't possibly follow that. So
• 22:30
  mine is just a song. It's just nice to song. It's uh,
• 22:36
  it's uh, it's been educational slash clock Tower. It is from the original
• 22:41
  score. It is about ten and a half minutes long, and it covers
• 22:45
  it covers the you know, Marty saying goodbye to his family in nineteen fifty
• 22:49
  five, all the way through the you know, the Dolore and hitting the
• 22:53
  wire and flashing forward time, and it is genuinely gotten me through so many
• 23:02
  college assignments, so many script rewrites, like so many projects where I just
• 23:08
  needed to have something inspiring and adrenaline inducing, because that song is a roller
• 23:17
  coaster from the start, you know, it's very soft and loving, and
• 23:21
  then it gets into kind of danger, and then it gets into tension,
• 23:23
  and then the climax finale just ramps everything up to fifteen screw eleven. Yeah,
• 23:33
  and it's so good. It is so good. Honorable mention to point
• 23:37
  of no return The Train part three from the Third movie, which I've also
• 23:42
  listened to a hell of a lot, for that same adrenaline inducing and inspiration
• 23:48
  inducing bonus. That music is very good at giving when you're trying to work
• 23:55
  creatively, I feel, oh absolutely, especially soundtracks, especially movie soundtracks,
• 24:00
  and especially very good movie soundtracks like this one. Yeah, music always a
• 24:04
  beautiful thing to be inspired by. I'm sorry I could have asked it in
• 24:08
  a different order and come to you first, Aaron, but the nuclear bomb,
• 24:15
  no clue, no clue that it would just be the most inspiring thing
• 24:18
  ever. I mean, we were hoping that you'd just be like, I'm
• 24:22
  I'm inspired by Michael J. Fox. Yeah, that's the only way I
• 24:27
  could have had one of these. If Tom Wilson was like, hey,
• 24:32
  buttheads it oh fantastic. Yes, good inspirations there, and look, I'm
• 24:40
  feeling suitably inspired. All the players have inspired me. So I think it's
• 24:44
  time to load up on plutonium and get this thing up to eighty eight as
• 24:47
  we drive into the future aka Round one, technically the future and the future
• 24:56
  is now. Round one is called pop cult Sure Pantheon. It's the trivia
• 25:00
  game that tests are players wider pop culture knowledge by the references across the Back
• 25:06
  to the Future trilogy. Have in front of me a board of twelve clues
• 25:10
  where the answer is always something or someone from pop culture. Those twelve clues
• 25:15
  are split into three difficulty categories. You've got the chicken clues, which are
• 25:18
  easy and for cowards and they're worth one point. You've got the slacker clues
• 25:23
  that are middling and worth two points, and if you answer any clues in
• 25:27
  the some serious shit category you get eighty eight sorry three points. Teams take
• 25:34
  turns picking a category until all clues have been removed from the board. Are
• 25:38
  we ready? Yeah, all right, let's begin with the mother fluxes.
• 25:44
  Would you like to pick a category? I'm not going to suggest chicken.
• 25:48
  There is an argument for some serious shit because then we'll know, like,
• 25:51
  what's the top tier. You guys do it first. You guys picked that
• 25:55
  first. Let Yeah, there's a chance at three points, and then there's
• 26:03
  like the slacker where it's like more likely we will get it right, more
• 26:06
  likely secure, secure, two points, risky three. Yeah, I remember
• 26:11
  once in the past. I think I think you and I were on the
• 26:15
  team at the time where we just went middle of the road the entire time
• 26:18
  and crushed it. But but I don't know. I'm I feel more confident
• 26:22
  with with this franchise than I do with with other ones. So maybe we
• 26:26
  do go for some serious ship to start off with, right serious ship,
• 26:30
  and if we're not feeling it, if it's if it's too tough, then
• 26:33
  then we go. Then we go slacker style. Yep, all right,
• 26:37
  time to see some serious ship. Here's your clue. Which silent film era
• 26:41
  star has his iconic stunt evoked in the thrilling third act of Back to the
• 26:45
  Future. It's it's Oh, I don't remember the actor, but I believe
• 26:51
  I remember the director. Mmm, it's a it's a Billy Wilder stunt.
• 26:57
  Yeah, I'm asking you to go back in time with this quest a little
• 27:00
  bit mind. Oh, it's hanging from the clock. They even reference it
• 27:03
  with one of the clocks in the very beginning of the movie. Uh huh,
• 27:07
  so the actor because it's it's the silent movie era of But I don't
• 27:11
  think it's I think it's the one that's not Charlie Chaplin. Yeah. I
• 27:15
  mean there was like a there was a Buster Keaton back then, but I
• 27:18
  think that was all that was all comedy. Well do you want to do
• 27:22
  you want to go for it? I would say I'm probably not gonna come
• 27:26
  up with another one other than Charlie Chaplin or Buster Keaton. Yeah, and
• 27:29
  it's not I don't think it's Charlie Chaplin. Okay, so it's a better
• 27:33
  chance than none. Let's let's go Buster Keaton. Then you go with Buster
• 27:37
  Keaton. Yeah, it is Busty Keaton for three points. Yeah, well
• 27:41
  done, good stuff. Yep, you need the stunt hanging on the arms
• 27:42
  of the clock tower. Okay, twin twin pines. Would you like to
• 27:47
  pick a category? I mean, what do you think? We almost have
• 27:49
  to go for some serious shit, don't we We have to. We have
• 27:53
  to, like we have to throw down the Goland flet and accept the challenge
• 27:57
  put forth by our Flux friends. Yeah, I like it. I like
• 28:02
  it. And if we lose the whole game, we can blame it on
• 28:04
  this one question right here. That's right, These darn things they're not okay,
• 28:15
  Well, here is your zomb serious shit clue. I respect the bravery.
• 28:18
  In the opening sequence, the device that Marty plugs his electric guitar into
• 28:22
  is labeled CRM one one four, an homage to the same sequence of digits
• 28:27
  used throughout the films of which iconic director. I think this is Steven Spielberg.
• 28:34
  He THHX eleven thirty eight. Yeah, I think so. Yeah,
• 28:38
  it's homage to Stephen Well, you know if it was also Lucas as well,
• 28:42
  who did THX so. But you know, I mean, Spielberg was
• 28:48
  the producer, so it could be easily just a little homage to him,
• 28:52
  because there's a lot of little homages to that whole sort of gang of folks.
• 28:56
  What was the what would the letters again? Letters were CRM one one
• 29:00
  four or CRM dash one one four to be exact. Yeah, like those
• 29:07
  letters aren't aren't ringing a bell? Yeah? And I can't think of any
• 29:10
  directors with the initials CRM. No, but we can go with I mean,
• 29:15
  I'll go, I'll lean towards you, I will lead to I know
• 29:18
  the Spielberger Lucas, and I'm going to sort of lean towards Spielberg. Happy
• 29:23
  you go with Spielberg. I thought it. I thought th HX eleven thirty
• 29:27
  eight was him. But I could have been wrong because didn't he do like
• 29:30
  a a like a trucking movie where that number appeared as well? Duel?
• 29:34
  Yeah, he did the movie Duel. Okay, Yeah, then I'm telling
• 29:37
  Spielberg. Yeah, Spielberg going with Spielberg. You can blame it on the
• 29:42
  question. It's not Spielberg. It's it's Stanley Cube, Stanley Kubrick. Oh
• 29:48
  okay. Oh, it's one of the devices in two thousand and one,
• 29:52
  and it's the name of the communication device in Doctor Strangelove and other things.
• 29:57
  I never would have got you were going down to real a good path there
• 30:00
  with with Spielberg and Duel and things like that. But it was the wrong
• 30:06
  path, all right, That's okay. It was a great question though,
• 30:08
  so I'm I'm not at all disappointed by that. Oh. Thanks, I'll
• 30:11
  get my disappointed. I'm disappointed by the fact that we're now three points under.
• 30:15
  But uh, we'll chlor our way back. Sure, let's let's see
• 30:19
  how things go for the mother fluxus. Would you like to pick another question?
• 30:23
  All right? So the question now, Audre is do we save the
• 30:27
  serious ship for later and and just bank some some two pointers while we can
• 30:33
  because they might be scared off of the three pointers now, so they may
• 30:37
  they may, they may go too. Yeah, and we do have the
• 30:40
  lead, so we can comfortably see if we can extend rest. Are your
• 30:45
  laurels, all three of us? It's an uncomfortable bed. So you're going
• 30:52
  with slaka, I'm down for that. Yeah, yeah, why not?
• 30:56
  Okay, see where this is at the two points soda the mcflys drinking at
• 31:02
  the dinner table in the first act of Back to the Future, it's tab
• 31:07
  tab WHOA, I'm gonna trust you. Pepsi free is the icon. It
• 31:12
  is the one that he free. Well, you gotta pay for it.
• 31:15
  So that's what's in my head. See he first asks for a tab and
• 31:21
  I know in Back to the Future too, they're drinking pepsi, but I
• 31:22
  don't know if they had that spot. I feel I feel like it's I
• 31:27
  feel like it's TAB, but I don't have that belief in the But you're
• 31:33
  right, I had forgotten that he asks for a tab first, have a
• 31:38
  tab. I can't give you a tab if you don't order anything. Yeah.
• 31:41
  Let honestly, i'd say go for tab, all right, really go
• 31:45
  tab. If it's wrong, we will share blame. You're going for tab,
• 31:48
  Yeah, Well, I can't give you a tab if you don't give
• 31:49
  me an answer. It's not tab. Just to read the clue again,
• 31:53
  it's the sort of that the mcflies are drinking at the dinner table in the
• 31:56
  first act of Back to the Future. So it's the it's the family as
• 32:00
  opposed to the dynascene. Yeah, and it was like a double bluff because
• 32:02
  it is pepsi. They are drinking pepsi damn at the table. It's like
• 32:07
  one of the few product placements in the first one compared to the massive amounts
• 32:10
  in the second month. Well, I apologize for bringing tab into it.
• 32:15
  I still feel like they can see a tab can in front of George while
• 32:19
  he's eating peanut bra I'll retroactively offer the points for sure. If you want
• 32:24
  to get a question wrong, buddy, you gotta pay for it, and
• 32:30
  with that confidence, we will throw things over to twin Poy. This is
• 32:36
  our chance to catch up, but we have to go for another serious shit
• 32:39
  question. Well not necessarily. I mean we could catch up to be within
• 32:43
  one point of them now if we go with Pepsi, right, Yes,
• 32:49
  I would have gotten Pepsi because I recognize that when he wakes up in the
• 32:52
  last scene, when the alarm clock starts playing back in time by Huey Lewis,
• 32:55
  there's a Pepsi sitting right next to his alarm clock. Okay, so
• 33:00
  I'm like, it makes sense that they would keep it in the family like
• 33:01
  they Then I will follow you. If you want to go for a two
• 33:05
  pointer, we can do a slacker question. Oh oh god, I'd say
• 33:09
  so. Yeah, let's let's tone it back. Let's let's tone back the
• 33:13
  confidence a little bit here. Let's let's let's let's close the gap. Yes,
• 33:16
  I like it. I like it, good good stuff. Here's your
• 33:19
  question for two points in Cafe eighties in Back to the Future, to which
• 33:23
  Nintendo game does Marty play in arcade cabinet form? Oh? Yes, that's
• 33:30
  that's wow? Is it? Wild? Gunman? Wild Gunman. Yes,
• 33:34
  Wild Gunman. Yeah, he's crack shot at Wild Gunman. That's yeah,
• 33:37
  you sound you both sound pretty confident. It is indeed Wild Gunman for two.
• 33:39
  I knew it as soon as Matt said it. I was like,
• 33:42
  yes, that's Wild Gunman. That's what you are literally timed as to how
• 33:49
  fast you can get the gun up and shoot the bad guy. And it's
• 33:52
  like it gets harder and harder to under one second, under half a second.
• 33:57
  Oh wow. Uh, it was very fun in arcades. But yeah,
• 34:00
  wild that that's a Nintendo game and you shoot people. Fantastic. They've
• 34:06
  they've changed a lettle over the yaes. Yeah, yeah, a little bit.
• 34:08
  The question was that that was a baby's toy. I'm just kidding,
• 34:15
  oh Elijah would okay, yeah, back on over to mother Fluxus. Can
• 34:21
  I tempt you with a chicken or you've of course, there's still two clues
• 34:23
  left in the Slacker and some serious shit. I don't know what are you
• 34:28
  feeling. Maybe because we got the first three pointer right, I getting the
• 34:35
  two pointer wrong has not yet shaken my confidence. Okay, so I am
• 34:38
  still I still think a two or three pointer. Yeah, absolutely, Yeah,
• 34:43
  there's there's no reason to go chicken unless you have to. Yeah,
• 34:47
  yeah, I mean we can. We can do another slacker and just h
• 34:53
  just build our confidence back up. Yeah, let's do it all right,
• 34:57
  going for ant of the two point now here it is, that's the last
• 34:59
  one wrong, don't bring the past. And it was a hard question.
• 35:05
  That was really hard question. I got to say. Okay, so,
• 35:07
  Harry, is your clue for two points? Which blues rock band plays the
• 35:12
  roles of a few musicians at the town Dance in part three? Oh yeah
• 35:17
  it's Easy Top. Yeah, yeah, it is indeed easy Top, straight
• 35:22
  away good stuff. Two points. Yeah, I didn't know. I didn't
• 35:25
  know that until this time around. Yeah, I knew that because my dad
• 35:30
  when we watched it, he said, is that ceazy Top? But I
• 35:32
  just remember that of him like having with us having to scroll through the credits
• 35:37
  and being like that's Zzy Tarp. Yeah, it was a very I think
• 35:42
  he took his wallet to I think that was easy Top Top, lovely stuff.
• 35:51
  Okay, back on over to Twin Pines. What is your choice of
• 35:53
  clue? We smash, it would just smashed, just try and steal the
• 35:58
  lead or we're still three points behind. So some serious ship. You're going
• 36:04
  for it up all right, right, Either that or we sew up the
• 36:08
  last two pointer. Oh okay, so we gotta we got to expire all
• 36:12
  of these right, yeah, we are going to eventually get through all of
• 36:15
  them. And okay, okay, Matt, you have been one hundred percent
• 36:19
  on the two point questions so far. Oh well we only had one.
• 36:22
  But yeah, sure, let's I mean, you knew the answer to the
• 36:25
  first. Yeah, okay, okay, you're right. You're right. We
• 36:28
  both knew the You are the strategy. You are a game master, so
• 36:30
  I will bow to your strategy prowess. Yes, let's force them back into
• 36:35
  the threes or they might go for a one. I don't know, but
• 36:37
  let's cut off cut off the two's because I feel pretty confident we can get
• 36:42
  that. Let's do it. Lovely stuff going for a two point to here
• 36:45
  it is a talking plush doll from which other Robert Zemachis film appears on sale
• 36:51
  in the Blast from the Past store, Zach Gremlins. So is that where
• 36:55
  he picks up the Almanac and the Dustbuster? Right? Yeah, was there
• 36:59
  a Teddy Rexman in there? But what movie was Teddy Rexman? In you're
• 37:02
  gonna says, I'm I'm probably the I'm not a fan of Gremlins, but
• 37:08
  I wasn't paying it. I paid attention to everything else. I saw the
• 37:10
  old Mac computer in the store window, I saw the dustbuster, I saw
• 37:15
  the whole bunch of these old little things in there. I just wasn't paying
• 37:17
  attention to the plush Matt, Can you read the question one more time?
• 37:22
  Please? Absolutely? A talking plush doll from which other Robert zon Machis film
• 37:27
  appears on sale in the Blast from the Past store? What other films did
• 37:30
  Zamechis do that had like talking little animals or no? Not other Back to
• 37:37
  the Future Part two was what nineteen eighty nine or nineteen eighty eight? I
• 37:42
  was nineteen eighty ninety three? Was eight ninety So it could have been Gremlins,
• 37:47
  And I don't know why. But that's the first thing that came in
• 37:50
  my head. It could be completely wrong, cause I don't I don't remember
• 37:53
  a talking plush doll from that. Yeah, like I could, I would
• 37:58
  understand if it was a talking plush doll of a Gremlin or of Magway.
• 38:01
  But was that his name? No? Yes, no, I don't remember
• 38:07
  gives thank you whatever, not not oldwise. Yes, yes, right,
• 38:13
  sure, sure, let's let's go with that one. I just I don't
• 38:16
  have any steak in this particular. I think I think that was a Zamaca's
• 38:22
  film, but I'm not sure. The problem is I can't I can't remember
• 38:29
  the scene, and I can't I can't picture the doll is what's bothering me.
• 38:32
  But for some reason in my when he said when you read the question,
• 38:37
  Gremlins popped in my head like that nothing popped into my head. So
• 38:40
  I'm I'm putting this in your confidence. So all right, we're gonna try
• 38:45
  it. Gremlins, please go with Glins. It's not Gremlins. I'm sorry,
• 38:50
  it's uh, it's who framed Rutger Rabbit. I can see it in
• 38:53
  my head right now. Oh god, it's that's right, god, I
• 39:00
  can Oh my god. Yeah, sorry, that's that's how this game goes.
• 39:06
  Yeah, that was my PEPSI yes, sure, yeah. Like you
• 39:09
  try to picture and the minute it's mentioned, the image just goes pop in
• 39:14
  your hand and you're just like, yeah, like the way Aaron described the
• 39:16
  gremlin, like that's exactly what it was with a tab and this is like
• 39:20
  this Mandela affect. Shit, who frame road your rabbit? Gotcha? Okay
• 39:28
  he was asking another question. Okay, we all moved back on over to
• 39:32
  the mother flexes. You've got the choice now, just between one pointers and
• 39:37
  three pointers chicken or serious shit. I don't know. Do you want to
• 39:38
  do? You want to rack up some easy points rather than take a chance.
• 39:44
  I'm down for it. Let's see. We'll see what Matt thinks is
• 39:47
  easy. All right, yeah, all right, here you go, you
• 39:51
  you yellow belly chickens. You sorry, that wasn't very aggressive. Here is
• 39:55
  your one point to what brand of famous fast food does Grandma Lorraine McFly rehydrate
• 40:01
  in twenty fifteen? That pizza Hut it is? It is indeed Pizza Hut
• 40:07
  for one point. I thought that was so cool. Yeah, geez yeah,
• 40:13
  pizza level four, please hydrate a good pizza mom. You know,
• 40:21
  we get more laughs if we just recreated the entire script. Yeah, you're
• 40:24
  right, you're right. We could do it onto every We might. We
• 40:34
  might get a we might get a copyright strike for Silvestri music. Oh that's
• 40:37
  true. All right, Back back on over to twin Pines. We're four
• 40:44
  points behind, Buddy. We gotta we gotta smash this. We gotta we
• 40:45
  gotta reclaim, we gotta get to get we gotta get one of these some
• 40:51
  serious serious ship here it is for three points. In Part three, Marty
• 40:55
  uses a boilerplate as a bulletproof vest. The same trick is used by Clint
• 41:00
  Teatwood as seen in the scene in Back to the Future Part two. But
• 41:04
  what film is it from a fistful of dollars? Yep, yep, it
• 41:07
  absolutely is. I was hoping, because there's like several that all seemed the
• 41:12
  same, that it would be quite a tricky one. But no, three
• 41:15
  boom, well played, nicely done. Okay, you've got there's one serious
• 41:30
  ship left, or there's three chickens. Do we pull ahead again or do
• 41:35
  we risk you know, being within a couple of points. I don't know
• 41:40
  if this is too risky. I would say, let's go for some serious
• 41:44
  ship, because even if we get it wrong, if they would have gotten
• 41:46
  it right, they would have gotten three points. So we're like, we're
• 41:50
  either getting three points or we're preventing a possible three points from view. Oh
• 41:53
  that's dirty. That is a scientific working, right yep. Woman in stem
• 42:00
  Yeah, all right, he's a final final three point here it is who
• 42:06
  composed the original guitar sounds that Marty plays to wake George up in nineteen fifty
• 42:12
  five? Was that I thought the tapes, said Edward Van Halen. Yeah,
• 42:15
  but I don't know if that's you know, if it's not that,
• 42:20
  then it's it's something so obscure that I've I've never heard Otherwise, if it's
• 42:23
  not Van Halen, I'm not gonna know it. Yeah, exactly, yep,
• 42:28
  So let's go van Allen. It is Eddie van Halen. I was
• 42:30
  hoping for a little another trick there with it being on the tape, and
• 42:34
  he did actually compose original sounds for it because the record label wouldn't let them
• 42:37
  use any Van Valen right sick, so he came into a studio and recorded
• 42:42
  some guitar riffs just for it. That's really endearing. I want to be
• 42:47
  a part of this. Yeah, I'll come in. Yeah, stuff for
• 42:51
  you. Okay, that's three points there for the mother flexes. Back on
• 42:53
  over to twin Pines. It's just chickens left. So should we rapid fire
• 42:58
  these chickens? That's a fun sentence, or let's rapid fire all the remaining
• 43:02
  chickens here with us. Fine, all right, well your first one for
• 43:08
  one point, which former host of The Apprentice did writer Bob Gail reveal is
• 43:13
  the inspiration for alternate nineteen eighty five Biff in BTTFP two. Oh, this
• 43:19
  isn't that like, didn't you just back to the future to alternate reality?
• 43:22
  Biff? Wasn't it just Trump? Yeah? It was? And I just
• 43:27
  take even bring him up, drum drum, that'll do. That counts for
• 43:34
  a point for sure. Yeah, for a team name. I almost almost
• 43:37
  said Biff for President, but I was afraid that. Yeah. Yeah,
• 43:43
  I I just it's still too near any opportunity. I love to refer to
• 43:49
  him as former host of the Apprentice. I just think that's a real fun
• 43:52
  thing. Yeah, okay, quickly, we'll move back on over to Motherfluxes.
• 43:57
  Here it is for one point, according to Back to the Future Part
• 44:00
  two, which film franchise is on its nineteenth film in twenty fifteen. It's
• 44:06
  it is Jos, It is Jos. There's a point shark still looks fake.
• 44:12
  And the final chicken clue here it is for twin pines, the Max
• 44:16
  Headroom style televisual avatar of which Pop Star offers diners at Cafe eighties various meat
• 44:22
  menu options. Michael Jackson, he offers beans, chicken, beb, beef,
• 44:27
  or pork the perfect Ever ever heard him saying that line where he says,
• 44:35
  like like a fahita, Peter, And then does it remind you of
• 44:39
  nobody? No one wants to be defeated from That's great, and that's also
• 44:52
  the end of the clues. All right, let's take a look at the
• 44:54
  scores. We'll ask Doc to calculate the latest scores. Oh but he's built
• 44:59
  an elaborate traption that acts as a score calculator and apologizes for it not being
• 45:04
  quite to scale or painted. It's it's honestly fine. And those scores are
• 45:08
  the mother Fluxes are on ten points, twin pines are on seven points.
• 45:14
  That's a bit. That's we're closer than I thought I thought. Yeah,
• 45:16
  awesome, all right, all right, up next is round two. But
• 45:20
  now we've got to play some ads. They're smart ads based on your algorithm,
• 45:23
  because we actually live in the future. Now, it's great, see
• 45:27
  you after this round two. It's called fan Court. It's the game where
• 45:37
  I ask our players to defend genuine, controversial fan statements I found online Reddit.
• 45:43
  It was obviously Reddit. Whether you agree with them or not, you
• 45:46
  have to take the role of someone who holds this opinion. The more convincing
• 45:50
  your argument, the more evidence you present, the more points you'll score.
• 45:53
  And I'll throw extra points in if you use legal jargon throughout, because I'm
• 45:58
  obsessed with this round being like a call room for some reason. So if
• 46:00
  you throw some of that in, more points to you. Ordre. Are
• 46:05
  you ready to kick things off with a statement here? Oh? Yes,
• 46:08
  okay, Well, the statement I've got for you is Back to the Future
• 46:12
  Part three is easily the best in the franchise. I got this, okay,
• 46:16
  you got this all right? Well, your time starts now. So
• 46:22
  if you have a time machine, one of the most fun things that you
• 46:25
  can do in media is see other drastically different time periods the people alive at
• 46:30
  the time would not have an experience of. We can see this in things
• 46:36
  like well most of the other time travel media. I've recently watched Doctor Who.
• 46:42
  You can go back to any time period and experience those. We have
• 46:46
  the benefit of the lore from the first film to create some conflict of how
• 46:51
  do we make this happen, really established world building from the first film,
• 46:57
  The second film also happened, and then we go into the third film,
• 47:01
  which, easily, without the last couple of minutes of the first film,
• 47:05
  could have been the second film, allowing for a third film to be in
• 47:08
  even a different time period. I think that it is the best one because
• 47:12
  it most adequately utilizes the lore while tapping into the most fun parts about time
• 47:21
  travel films. Oh that's your time there, but perfectly done well. Some
• 47:23
  duff at that case. I forgot to make any jokes. I forgot to
• 47:28
  do anything. I genuinely this is my hot take. Oh nice, my
• 47:36
  genuine hot take. I loved this film so much we wore out the DVD.
• 47:42
  Oh not even the tape, the DVD day like it was always on
• 47:46
  repeat. I don't know if we actually wore it out or if my parents
• 47:51
  just told me that so that we could stop watching Back to the Future three.
• 47:54
  I don't know. No, I fully agree with everything you said,
• 48:00
  and I'm bringing up the point of using a time machine to go back to
• 48:02
  iconic moments in time instead of just thirty years prior. Still obviously works for
• 48:07
  the movie, but I get it being more adventurous and feeling more like a
• 48:09
  time travel adventure. I can't give you the full five points, even though
• 48:14
  that was very well argued, because you didn't use any courtroom jargon. Serious,
• 48:16
  So it's gonna be I'm gonna give you four points for that though.
• 48:20
  Thank you, thank you. Okay, good stuff. We will move on
• 48:23
  over too. Shall I do this one team back and forth? Yeah,
• 48:27
  let's do this one team back and forth. We'll move on over to Aaron.
• 48:30
  Aaron, are you ready to defend a pop culture statement? I am
• 48:36
  here it is. I hate seeing back to the future references in other movies.
• 48:39
  It's tacky and pandering. As your statement you have to defend. Are
• 48:44
  you ready? I am prepared. Time starts now, Ladies and gentlemen of
• 48:50
  the jury. I am but a simple country lawyer, but even I know
• 48:55
  that reference humor is the lowest form of period References are lazy. They do
• 49:04
  not hold up over time. It's a bad comedy idea. Now you may
• 49:09
  object to what I've been saying, but allow me to enter into evidence.
• 49:15
  The list of movies listed as having back to the future references from fandom dot
• 49:21
  com. The Adam Project, A big fat liar Fanboys, ghost Writer,
• 49:29
  I Love You man knocked up My Favorite Martian, which starred Christopher Lord.
• 49:36
  They put that poor man through making a Back to the Future reference on an
• 49:42
  entirely different movie that I dare say that is a sin against man and God,
• 49:47
  and I rest my case. Lord's the truth. The shouting of heresy
• 49:55
  from the jury was excellent, although I do like the Avenger saying the Back
• 50:00
  of the Future was full of shit. Oh good, I loved you reading
• 50:05
  off the list of very mediocre to poor movies. The reference back to the
• 50:12
  future, you provided evidence, you used all the law jargon. I've got
• 50:16
  to give you the full five out of five because now I agree with you.
• 50:19
  Now I think those references are tacky. Yeah, yeah they are.
• 50:22
  I think we have to get into force. Wow, that's actually quite good
• 50:29
  that we've made it four seasons without a statement that I leading to that.
• 50:32
  That's pretty good. It's impressive. You got far to me. Yeah,
• 50:37
  okay, lovely stuff. All right, back on over to mother Fluxus johnnyre
• 50:42
  you ready to defend I guess I always get so nervous, like I'm I'm
• 50:46
  shaky and clammy whenever there's there's a time limit on here. I like black
• 50:51
  out. I'm glad the camera is so far away because you can't see how
• 50:53
  much I'm sweating during most of those rounds. It's very useful. Need an
• 50:59
  auto auto dry jacket. God, I do so many uses. Okay,
• 51:07
  John, your controversial statement from Reddit is they should reboot back to the future.
• 51:12
  It could be better than the originals. Okay, are you ready,
• 51:15
  John? Yep, time starts now, Your honor and ladies and gentlemen of
• 51:20
  the Court, I present to you the case of rebooting back to the future.
• 51:23
  Here we have a movie that is damn near perfect, just about as
• 51:28
  close to perfect as you can get. But what we have is the perspective
• 51:31
  of what you what it was, and what it can be. Now we
• 51:37
  can improve performances. We can put actors in roles that might do just a
• 51:42
  little bit better you never know, or at least a modern equivalent, because
• 51:45
  these movies are they're a little dated, as much as I love them.
• 51:50
  We got Tom Holland is Marty. We've got Timothy Shallomey playing George McFly.
• 51:54
  We've got Zoey deutsch Lea Thompson's daughter as Lorraine, and we can deep fake
• 51:59
  in Tom Sev Wilson or d Agent because nobody else can play Biff. You
• 52:04
  still got the bones of and the soundtrack of the original movie to work with.
• 52:07
  Then we've got a dance scene at the end where Marty makes it makes
• 52:10
  his parents kiss, and then he puts on a backwards cap. And then
• 52:14
  Marvin Durst calls his cudson cousin Fred and says that new sound you've been looking
• 52:17
  for listening. Oh god, oh no, oh no, I forgot.
• 52:28
  I forgot to mention nineteen ninety four. Oh no, no, no,
• 52:30
  no, I came. It definitely came across in it. We're definitely going
• 52:34
  back thirty years. And yeah, I think lip Biscuit was the perfect reference
• 52:37
  to one minute goes by so fast, so fast. I think he broke
• 52:45
  Aaron. Oh honestly, if I was judging the zero points, well,
• 52:52
  that's the thing. It was an excellent case was made. But John,
• 52:55
  I think you've you had the hardest statement to defend that because so much of
• 53:00
  that sounded so bad. But you did throw in legal jargon as well.
• 53:07
  I'm gonna give you four out of five for that. Four points for that
• 53:09
  one. That's as a good effort for sure. Oh sorry watching Eric like
• 53:19
  I'm I'm just imagining back to the future, Oh God, with Limp Biscuit
• 53:24
  being the musical. John chose violent controversial as George and Lorraine making out to
• 53:37
  break stuff. Okay, last, but of course not least, Matt,
• 53:45
  I've got a fandom statement here for you to defend. Are you ready?
• 53:49
  Yes, I'm ready. Here it is. The statement is without the music,
• 53:52
  these films would be forgotten. Okay, that's your highly downvoted Reddit.
• 54:00
  Are you ready? I'm ready. Your time starts now, ladies and gentlemen.
• 54:05
  Let's do this by the numbers. When that symmetrical diminished scale hits at
• 54:07
  the very beginning of each movie, you know exactly what movie you're watching,
• 54:12
  and you know you're in for a treat because that plays over a simple title
• 54:15
  block for God's sake. Also of reference, exhibit a testimony from Alan Silvestri
• 54:19
  himself. To write a theme for a movie which focus less on massive sweeping
• 54:22
  shots and panoramic set pieces and more on character heroism takes a special talent.
• 54:28
  The use of themes is a masterclass and audible storytelling. The theme is often
• 54:31
  paralleled with variations which perfectly aligns with the parallel nature of time travel, and
• 54:37
  when a movie about time travel and how the actions of an individual can have
• 54:39
  massive course and effects happen, the themes that interact with one another is amazing.
• 54:44
  Now, let's examine the notes in Exhibit B actual musical notes. Tritones
• 54:47
  in the melody presents a dissonant sound which interplays perfectly with the unnecessary you know,
• 54:52
  the uncertainty of being stuck in time. Last but not least, zz
• 54:55
  Top and Huey Lewis wrote music for it. Some of those songs went to
• 54:59
  number one one. Without the number one, it would ruin the music hits,
• 55:01
  continue him of the eighties and nineties and destroy the universe. I rest
• 55:06
  my face. Fantastic stuff that most words said in a minute maybe ever that
• 55:16
  that was the amount of music knowledge that is beyond me, but that I
• 55:22
  must take his gospel that was brought into the into the situation. There was
• 55:25
  incredible when when when I was originally gonna do that statement, my defense was
• 55:31
  gonna be it sounds really good. Guys. You've heard the soundtrack, right,
• 55:39
  What more do I need to say? Just like the timer run out?
• 55:45
  Oh good, I've got to give that the full five points it was
• 55:46
  incredible. Yeah, if there was even more legal jargon crammed in there,
• 55:51
  I might have even gone to six and broken the scale. But yeah,
• 55:53
  full five, full five points for that. That was well defended. You
• 55:58
  actually made me think, Yeah, no one would ever remember these movies if
• 56:00
  it wasn't for the music. I appreciate that. Thank you. All Right,
• 56:05
  that's it. We've all defended our cases. Good job. You can
• 56:07
  all go back to holding your actual opinions now. I remain unchanged. That
• 56:15
  is the end of the round. Let's ask Jennifer to calculate the latest scores
• 56:19
  because the writers didn't give her much else to do, so we may as
• 56:22
  well. And they were backed into a corner with how they ended the first
• 56:27
  one. I get it. Okay, it's kind of changed a little bit.
• 56:31
  Motherflux are still holding the lead on eighteen points, but right behind them
• 56:36
  on seventeen points twin pines. Yeah, that's how we like it. Good
• 56:40
  stuff. Okay, Round three next after these ads. Skip them if you
• 56:45
  want. It's like time travel, lame lame time travel back soon. Round
• 56:55
  three is called Answers in the comments, and it's a new take on old
• 57:00
  favorite. In this game, I will read our players some genuine YouTube comments
• 57:04
  found below a famous scene from the Back to the Future trilogy. Our players
• 57:07
  must individually say their name when they think they can describe which scene it is.
• 57:13
  But get it wrong, you'll be frozen out of the question, and
• 57:15
  I'll keep reading the comment for the other players to pick up and guess.
• 57:20
  Oh and the less of the comment you need to hear, the more points
• 57:22
  you'll get. So a chance to take a risk. You've got two guesses
• 57:27
  per team. All right, here is your first comments. I've changed the
• 57:30
  usernames, but the comments are one hundred percent genuine. Good question. Yes,
• 57:35
  we shout out our our personal name right now, Yes, personal personal
• 57:38
  name for this one. We'll save the team name. All four of us
• 57:43
  can shout out to snap in right absolutely. Okay, this is open to
• 57:46
  open to everyone. Can I shout out Adra to make her answer? I
• 57:51
  was just about to ask, can we shout out the other team's name and
• 57:53
  force them to answer? This is hard, John, I suppose it is
• 58:05
  probably worth knowing that if you buzz in, your teammate cannot help with the
• 58:08
  answer. Okay. This first comment comes from user great Scotland and they had
• 58:15
  to say I can't imagine the cheers and satisfied screams in the cinema theater when
• 58:21
  people saw this scene for the first time. It is almost an inverse of
• 58:25
  Empire Strikes Back. Instead of the villain admitting he is the hero's father,
• 58:30
  he boasts that he actually did kill his father, and instead of the hero,
• 58:36
  yes, Ordre, why did I say your name? I was zoned
• 58:45
  out and my eyes were just on your name, and so I just read
• 58:49
  the first thing that I saw. Ah, I think this is the scene
• 58:54
  I'll say I will with my own name. I think this is the scene
• 59:00
  in the second film where they're up in Biff's tower and they're like fighting.
• 59:06
  Marty and Biff are fighting, and like Marty's coming and he's been held by
• 59:09
  the goons and he's like, oh, yeah, but I did kill your
• 59:15
  dad. Yeah that's enough for me. Marty confronts Biff and is saved by
• 59:19
  Doc. Just the whole scene as a piece, yeah, well done.
• 59:22
  Two points. I don't know. I don't know. I'm gonna I'm gonna
• 59:24
  challenge that one because it was a different part. It was a completely different
• 59:29
  scene where that now I'm just kidding, I can challenge it. But I'll
• 59:31
  let it go because you were your your mindset was perfect, like you had
• 59:36
  you Yeah, apart from saying Aaron's name, Yeah, apart from saying you
• 59:40
  got the points, congratulations, fantastic for that. Yeah. Yeah. Actually,
• 59:47
  you know what that saves this being a We'll make that the tie breaker.
• 59:51
  I'm going to give twin Pines half a point there, because then then
• 59:53
  we know this one can't end in a tie. Incredible. Okay. Next
• 1:00:00
  comment comes from user buff Tannin, and here's what they had to say.
• 1:00:05
  Okay, here's a gaping plot hole of the movie if you think too much
• 1:00:07
  about it. We are all the product of our parents bonking at a specific
• 1:00:13
  time, causing one specific sperm to meet with one specific egg at a certain
• 1:00:17
  time. Our parents point literally one second later, then the sperm is not
• 1:00:22
  the same. So when Marty saves Peeping Dad George, he's already created a
• 1:00:27
  different timeline. I think Matt on that one. Yeah, so is that
• 1:00:30
  the scene where you know, like top like you know, George McFly is
• 1:00:35
  Pep's up in the tree and then Marty pushes him out of the way and
• 1:00:37
  gets hit by the car. Star not one of these damn kids jumped in
• 1:00:40
  front of my car. Yes, exactly that Marty saves Dad and meets mom.
• 1:00:45
  Absolutely two points there. Good stuff. Also, ill to that person,
• 1:00:51
  Yeah, I love that I don't have to make anything up for these
• 1:00:55
  rounds. And I'm like really really like yeah, yeah, just I mean
• 1:01:01
  the part about the sperms and the eggs was even longer. I cut it
• 1:01:05
  down. Find something better to do with your time. Sorry anyway, Okay.
• 1:01:12
  This next comment comes from user eighty eight sixty nine. Eighty eight sixty
• 1:01:15
  nine. Lol. Here's what they had to say. It's not pointless.
• 1:01:22
  I like to think of it as character development. In the beginning, Marty
• 1:01:27
  is afraid of rejection and that he'll never have a chance to play his music.
• 1:01:30
  Over the course of the film, he has to help George with his
• 1:01:32
  own fear of rejection. By helping George, he in turn, is learning
• 1:01:37
  to deal with his own. Getting on stage gives him this. I think
• 1:01:40
  Matt just before john is that when he finally has the confidence to get up
• 1:01:45
  and play Johnny be good in front of his in front of the audience at
• 1:01:49
  the Enchantment under the Seed dance, it is exactly that. Yeah, absolutely,
• 1:01:53
  For one point, I just tipped over into the one point section there
• 1:01:57
  in my reading, so just one point for that one. But yeah,
• 1:02:00
  I think there was people in the comment saying like, oh, it's a
• 1:02:02
  fun scene, but why like playing Johnny. He'd already saved his parents.
• 1:02:06
  Why is he playing Johnny be good? And then quite rightly, this person's
• 1:02:09
  like, because Marty's the protagonist and needs his character development. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:02:14
  because that is his arc. Yeah, yeah, It's just it was
• 1:02:16
  incredible how many people beneath a YouTube comment didn't understand. Wait, as I'm
• 1:02:21
  saying this sentence, I now understand. Yeah, yeah, okay. This
• 1:02:25
  next comment comes from user time incest of one of the one of the themes
• 1:02:30
  of the movie is what they had to say. The most dark part about
• 1:02:38
  this part is that when they had capture Marty, it's like going fishing and
• 1:02:44
  he hangs around his neck and killing him like Matt John on that one.
• 1:02:47
  I think that's back to the Future three when the gang strings him up on
• 1:02:52
  the clock tower in the Old West. It is indeed for two points,
• 1:02:55
  lovely stuff. Yeah, this this comment was a psychotic I'll finish reading it.
• 1:03:02
  And he hangs around his neck and killing him like a human slaughter to
• 1:03:06
  death for dinner, Darky dark I know, but l O L. He
• 1:03:12
  got strangled, after all, it's the weirdest placement of an L O L.
• 1:03:20
  I've slaughtered him to death. L O L. Every word in this
• 1:03:29
  comment was capitalized as well. And what is a capital letters spell? Is
• 1:03:35
  this a cry for help? Yeah? Yeah, exactly that. It is
• 1:03:39
  exactly that. Yeah, And I think this person's YouTube channel they just past
• 1:03:45
  constantly about how the world's going to end every single month. But it's nice
• 1:03:47
  that they still find time to watch Back to the Future of that comment.
• 1:03:53
  Give him a point then, yes, no, I'm on one. All
• 1:04:03
  right, this is your final comment. This is the last one. Maybe
• 1:04:06
  next time we play this, I'll prepare six or seven because this one's going
• 1:04:10
  by quite quite quick. Nice final comment from user Back three the Future.
• 1:04:15
  Okay, they could have called the third film and they had to say so.
• 1:04:20
  With this scene, they were trying to explain how Biff was able to
• 1:04:25
  get back to the same future timeline. Yes, Aaron, this is the
• 1:04:30
  scene where Doc is explaining the timeline divergence on the chalkboard to Marty, so
• 1:04:34
  Marty understands how all this happened. I like it. I like it.
• 1:04:39
  It's not it's not right, but I like it as a guess and proving
• 1:04:42
  the format of this game that you know, you can buzz in and maybe
• 1:04:45
  get it wrong. H So sorry, Aaron, I'll keep reading future timeline
• 1:04:49
  as Doc and Marty after he had just changed the timeline by giving his younger
• 1:04:54
  self the almanac. Whoa Heavy? So that is why this happens to Biff
• 1:05:00
  anyway, The bigger question is why, Yes, John, the scene when
• 1:05:03
  Biff comes back into the future and then breaks the cane and then disappears,
• 1:05:09
  you know what you said enough for me to give you this because this was
• 1:05:12
  kind of a trick question. The word I was looking for was disappears.
• 1:05:15
  Because this is a deleted scene from Me to the Future. Yes, I
• 1:05:18
  thought I'd try and throw a trick question in there, but for two points,
• 1:05:21
  Yeah, I forgot in the main movie. Yeah, he just breaks
• 1:05:25
  the cane and goes ah and shrugs off the side. But yeah, the
• 1:05:29
  deleted scene where he disappears by the dumpster. Yes, it's haunting as well.
• 1:05:33
  It is saw that scene for the first time and it's kind of dark.
• 1:05:36
  It is dark because he has created his own non existence yep, yeah,
• 1:05:44
  the dark side of time travel. I guess how it catches up the
• 1:05:48
  end of the round. Let's ask Einstein to calculate the latest scores. He's
• 1:05:54
  just a dog, but he's such a clever boy. Okay. A couple
• 1:05:58
  of questions at the end there for mother fluxes has them regained their lead for
• 1:06:01
  twenty four points. It's what the mother fluxes are on Twin Pines on twenty
• 1:06:05
  points okay and a half twenty and a half twenty and sorry, yes,
• 1:06:11
  all right, it comes down to there half point, and it may do,
• 1:06:17
  because anything can happen in the final quick fire around. But before we
• 1:06:21
  get to the quick fire around, let's talk prizes. This episode's star prize
• 1:06:27
  is the concept of density, sorry destiny, So our winners will get to
• 1:06:31
  control their own destiny and our losers will just be dense. I'm so glad
• 1:06:36
  you went with the Twin Pines name so that like I got to make that
• 1:06:41
  joke there, kind of you. But our winning team will also receive a
• 1:06:45
  creative plutonium. Yeah. Please, I don't have any more here to lose.
• 1:06:54
  Okay. Up next is our crucial quick fire around. After one last
• 1:06:58
  set of ads. Sorry, if it seems like it's a lot, but
• 1:07:00
  it's still less product placement than you'll find in Part two. BRB butt heads,
• 1:07:12
  jeezy, you keep coming down on Back to the Future part too.
• 1:07:14
  I mean they're not doing Frisbee pythons. Come on, yeah, that's true
• 1:07:18
  that popular product, although there was I didn't include it in the trivia game
• 1:07:24
  at the start, but Tabasco is pretty clearly in Back to the Future Part
• 1:07:28
  three as part of the wake up. Yes it is, and I just
• 1:07:30
  thought it was funny how it's like just a modern thing of Tabasco is just
• 1:07:33
  there. Our final quick fire around will test your broader pop culture knowledge,
• 1:07:39
  and it's called Roads. None of these babies need roads. In this game,
• 1:07:44
  I will give our players clues to a time travel device from pop culture
• 1:07:47
  history. Those clues will be in the style of Doc Brown panicking to Marty
• 1:07:53
  that way when I sound panicked doing the impression. It'll be part of the
• 1:07:57
  character. Oh and there's of course a classic a sleapers twist. You need
• 1:08:00
  to say that's heavy or that's heavy Doc after your answer. Even if the
• 1:08:05
  time device isn't heavy, you must say it is. It's quick fire,
• 1:08:10
  so you buzz in by yelling out your team name. Let's practice that now,
• 1:08:14
  twin pains. But what the hell did I just say? I heard
• 1:08:21
  hybrid? That is nothing. You should have heard the episode where Adra mangles
• 1:08:26
  whatever she shouted. Yeah, it's me saying Aaron's name to buzz In in
• 1:08:31
  a previous round. Is the most orderly my buzz in a long time.
• 1:08:40
  Ah, twin will that work? Just twelve? Absolutely? Yeah? Twin
• 1:08:45
  twins? Fine one one mother mother. It is twin versus mother. Okay,
• 1:08:50
  I'll give you a quick example of how the clues are going to go.
• 1:08:55
  If I said, great, Scott, mart you were out of time.
• 1:08:58
  Punch the date into the flux capacitor and get the hell back to nineteen
• 1:09:00
  eighty five. Try not to bunk your mother body. Yes, Aaron,
• 1:09:04
  the DeLorean from it would just be the DeLorean. That's heavy dock. That's
• 1:09:09
  heavy dock. Yes, good stuff. And I am looking for the name
• 1:09:12
  of the time machine as well. I'm not going to accept the property that
• 1:09:15
  it's from. Okay, okay, And it might have a more obvious name
• 1:09:19
  than you think as well. Sometimes, so okay, I will start the
• 1:09:24
  timer. Here we go, Great Scott Ruby, there's no time you'll have
• 1:09:28
  to take the screwdriver. Yes, Matts, that would be the tartest,
• 1:09:31
  and uh, that's pretty heavy, Doc. It is the tartest and it
• 1:09:35
  is pretty heavy. It looks pretty heavy, Great Scott. It's one of
• 1:09:40
  those infinity things and it's green. Do you have any ope? Is that?
• 1:09:45
  John? I mean I did say, yes, nice, the time
• 1:09:50
  stone that's heavy, Dock, the timestone, and it is indeed heavy,
• 1:09:56
  Great Scott. A couple of high school slackers just jumped into that glass.
• 1:10:00
  Yes, Aaron. The phone booths from it is indeed. Yes, it's
• 1:10:03
  just called the stuff nice. Nice. That really is heavy. It's a
• 1:10:09
  phone booth. Yeah, yeah, I wonder if it's heavier than the tardis
• 1:10:13
  good question, Great Scott. We found ourselves in a Victorian metaphor for the
• 1:10:17
  class system. This one's the og or HG. Yes, John, the
• 1:10:25
  time machine that's heavy, Dock. It is the the time machine, and
• 1:10:29
  that is indeed heavy. Another one that looks pretty heavy. Heavy? Oh
• 1:10:32
  yeah, great Scott. If you're going to save that big bird, you're
• 1:10:36
  gonna have to relive your school day, Harry. But make sure you don't
• 1:10:40
  know, yes, Matts, Oh, that would be the time Turner from
• 1:10:44
  Harry Potter. And that's pretty heavy dock. Yeah, yeah, a light
• 1:10:47
  object, but it is pretty heavy metaphorically speaking. There's a point good stuff,
• 1:10:51
  Great Scott. I think that beagle is from the future and he's wearing
• 1:10:55
  glasses and I think they're from a show about it. Yes, John,
• 1:10:59
  the Wayback machine. That's heavy dock. It is indeed good stuff from what's
• 1:11:04
  it what they called again? That's it from before my time living in this
• 1:11:12
  country, Great Scott, an organic living time machine. And it says here
• 1:11:16
  it's from d C. Must be to do electricity. They must mean Washington.
• 1:11:19
  I wrote two jokes there. I suppose in his world he's a superhero,
• 1:11:24
  but his ability to travel and see intil the future is two days he
• 1:11:26
  must be. Yes, Matt, uh is that? Oh my god,
• 1:11:31
  Doctor Strange. Oh it's a good guess. No, I'm not a huge
• 1:11:36
  superhot ye. Yes, Aaron, is it the flash from DC? Heavy
• 1:11:42
  dock. It's not the Flash. It's another good guess. This is quite
• 1:11:45
  a niche DC geese. Yeah, I mean, I mean a huge DC
• 1:11:48
  kid. All right, we'll pass on this one. It's a character called
• 1:11:53
  the wave Rider. The wave Rider apparently his superpower is traveling through time in
• 1:11:58
  DC. Yeah, and I know they did doctor st hints not DC.
• 1:12:00
  So no, no, it's too late. No. Oh yeah, I
• 1:12:05
  already took all your points off you met? Oh no, yeah, minus
• 1:12:10
  half point. Oh yeah, yeah, it could be a tie. Great,
• 1:12:13
  Scott, you said you'd be back Arnie, and here you are.
• 1:12:16
  Tell me that would be uh the terminator or terminator to Arnold Schwarzenegger traveling back
• 1:12:25
  in time to kill John Connor. And that's pretty heavy because the terminator is
• 1:12:28
  made of metal. Oh but what is the name of the time device?
• 1:12:31
  The time traveling device? Oh, the time traveling device. I'm sorry,
• 1:12:36
  I know you've got the right property. I can't fault you there, time
• 1:12:40
  travel device. Oh my god, give me a hint. Which movie which
• 1:12:45
  one of the terminators is? I believe it's in. It's in the first
• 1:12:49
  and second movie. Definitely the first movie. It's got a very the clue
• 1:12:54
  I'll give you. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. So you have the
• 1:12:56
  T one thousand, which traveled back in time. And then of course you
• 1:12:59
  have the te quickfire tea. What model was Aaron? What model was?
• 1:13:05
  I can't? Can I get help? Well, we'll call this I mean
• 1:13:11
  if anyone it's got a very it's got Yeah, John, I'm just taking
• 1:13:15
  a stab at aphere. It's not a chronosphere it is. It's a very
• 1:13:19
  generic corporate sounding thing. Yes, Aaron sky Nets time bubble. That's probably
• 1:13:25
  the closest one so far. I'll throw it in. I'll throw terminator time
• 1:13:30
  travel device again. Device probably pretty pretty close to time time displacement field time
• 1:13:40
  displacement equipment as well tds. They're referred to. Yeah, okay, wow,
• 1:13:46
  yeah, well know, now we'll move on to the next one.
• 1:13:48
  Okay, great Scott. These middle aged men used to be skiing teenagers in
• 1:13:54
  the eighties. Yes, mass this hot tub time machine. Nope, I
• 1:13:59
  can't give point you did. You didn't say it was You didn't say it
• 1:14:01
  was heavy, Aaron, Yes, Aaron the machine. Okay, Okay,
• 1:14:10
  just because I don't think it's going to affect the scores too much, I'll
• 1:14:12
  give you that one, Great Scott. So you say you're leaping through time
• 1:14:15
  via other people's Oh yes, Aaron, Ziggy from Quantum Leap. That's heavy,
• 1:14:24
  Doc, Definitely the was ziggy. The was ziggy the device I thought
• 1:14:29
  he was, but I could be wrong. What I have that's not what
• 1:14:32
  I've got here. That's I've got to stick with what I've got here.
• 1:14:34
  That's not what I've got that's fair. Anyone else want to take My wife
• 1:14:39
  was here, she'd know it. She loves quantum leap. I don't know.
• 1:14:43
  It's the quantum accelerator. Ah, that is what I've got there,
• 1:14:48
  quick before the buzzer, Great Scott, Mary, it runs on Steve met
• 1:14:54
  the fam. Yes, Aaron, the train time machine from Back to the
• 1:14:58
  Future Part three, Heavy Doc. It is indeed the train time machine for
• 1:15:02
  back and that's the buzzer. Oh okay, I knew that one was coming.
• 1:15:12
  Before we get to the final scores, I'd like to thank our players.
• 1:15:15
  I've had the time of my life and I hope you all come back
• 1:15:18
  in the future. That okay, dear, we will accept that less likely
• 1:15:26
  now that you've made those funds. Yes, But before we get to those
• 1:15:31
  final scores, Aaron, I've been loving the Thane audiobook production updates, so
• 1:15:38
  I just like take this opportunity on a podcast to ask how's it going?
• 1:15:40
  How things going with the thing. It's out of my hands, so it's
• 1:15:43
  going great. Nice. I'm no longer like working every single day, so
• 1:15:47
  like down the recordings we did to just give Nick the stuff he actually needs.
• 1:15:54
  Ye. So yeah, no, I'm very I'm very tired still,
• 1:15:58
  but I'm very pleased to have it completely I don't have to work on it
• 1:16:02
  anymore. So he's gone on a short vacation, but when he comes back
• 1:16:09
  he will finish up the work and we're hoping to get it out before the
• 1:16:12
  end of July. Oh wow, yeah excellent. Yeah, well I'll probably
• 1:16:16
  do then update the show notes for this episode, pefuly the link to the
• 1:16:20
  audio book as well, even if it's not available immediately when this episode goes
• 1:16:25

• 1:16:38
  thhn E by Aaron Randolph. And yeah, I've got a second book very
• 1:16:43
  much in the works. The first draft has gone out to beta readers and
• 1:16:47
  so far all the feedback has been fantastic, so I'm hoping it will lovely
• 1:16:53
  of a similar quality or better than Thine, but we'll see. Nice.
• 1:16:58
  Yeah, Thane is great. I love it. If you're listening to this
• 1:17:00

• 1:17:04

• 1:17:16
  like two hundred and twenty. Oh wow, like it insane, but it's
• 1:17:23
  you know, it's exactly this kind of stuff, which I love. So
• 1:17:27
  yeah, it's it's so much fun. I just love playing games with friends.
• 1:17:30
  It's all never not fun. It's the it's the best thing. It
• 1:17:33
  is the best thing. But of course I think that. Thanks Aaron,
• 1:17:39
  Matt, thanks so much for playing. I hope you had a great time
• 1:17:42
  joining us here. It was phenomenal. Thank you so much. I mean,
• 1:17:45
  the subject medium and you guys, hanging out with you guys, it's
• 1:17:46
  just fun. I cannot be unhappy about any of the answers, including the
• 1:17:51
  ones that we completely floundered on, because it was just a phenomenal experience with
• 1:17:56
  you all. Thanks, thanks so much. And Matt, you're a experienced
• 1:18:00
  game designer and you and your team are working on a narrative thriller called The
• 1:18:03
  Last Arc. Is there anything you'd like to share about the game? And
• 1:18:08
  where our listeners can sort of follow along for updates. Yeah sure, Yeah,
• 1:18:11
  we're a brand new studio that just decided to sort of rise like a
• 1:18:14
  phoenix from the ashes from the dismal state that is the current game industry because
• 1:18:17
  indies are the future, God bless them all. And so yeah, our
• 1:18:21
  first title is a narrative sort of thriller adventure that kind of you know,
• 1:18:26
  focuses on the sort of negative side. I mean, I was gonna say
• 1:18:29
  negative side of AI. It's all negative, but you actually get to play
• 1:18:32
  the role of the very bad, nasty AI in this game with humanities in
• 1:18:36
  your responsibility. So yes, our studio is ter a Bit Studios. You
• 1:18:42
  can check that out. That's the web address as well. And yeah,
• 1:18:45
  no, we're super excited about the game when we release for a couple of
• 1:18:48
  years. We haven't got any hard deadlines yet, but as it comes closer
• 1:18:51
  to fruition, we will definitely share more materials as they come to pass lovely
• 1:18:56
  stuff. I'll put those links in the show notes so people can follow along
• 1:18:59
  on you on your journey through the development of this game. And you're also
• 1:19:02
  a musician, are there any compositions you want to shout out that you've done
• 1:19:05
  recently. Oh yeah, I do a lot of video game soundtracks, sometimes
• 1:19:09
  in the sort of chiptune genre if we're talking retro games and things like that,
• 1:19:12
  but also some orchestral compositions for sort of more fantasy adventure games. So
• 1:19:16
  yeah, the most recent one that I just wrote the soundtrack for as an
• 1:19:19
  orchestral one is a game called Moonfire, a Seekers Saga, which is a
• 1:19:23
  nice sort of graphic adventure game that's going to be releasing very shortly. I
• 1:19:27
  know the person personally who did that game, so it's very fantastic. So
• 1:19:30
  yeah, if you check it out and then check out the soundtrack, you
• 1:19:31
  can sort of backtrack your way to me, and I'm sure there will be
• 1:19:34
  some links in the chat in the chat in the video description as well where
• 1:19:39
  you can find that music and stuff as well. Nice. Yeah, absolutely
• 1:19:42
  check out all of Matt's work. You can tell from this episode. He's
• 1:19:45
  a great, great person, great person I appreciate, Thank you. Yeah,
• 1:19:47
  I can vouch for that. I've known Matt for a number of years.
• 1:19:53
  Yes see is it excellent excellent human being, And I hope someday he'll
• 1:19:58
  be able to talk about his books because he is also an author and has
• 1:20:00
  written some excellent work that is just not published yet. Fingers cross, knock
• 1:20:06
  on wood. Yeah, I'm currently in agent. I'm currently agency represented,
• 1:20:11
  been currently in publisher limbo, so trying to get someone lined up to sort
• 1:20:15
  of get it signed up. But the good news is because of self publishing.
• 1:20:18
  I mean, Aaron has been super inspiring to me who just bit the
• 1:20:21
  bullet and went straight out with that self publishing and absolutely nailed it. So
• 1:20:27
  I'm so happy to have a close friend who is succeeding in somewhere where it
• 1:20:30
  is well deserved, and he deserves all the accolades for Thane and the upcoming
• 1:20:34
  books. So please do check out Thane. It's phenomenal. Yeah. Oh,
• 1:20:40
  that's just such kind promoing to promo your teammates stuff as honest lovely stuff.
• 1:20:45
  This is such a positive episode, guys, John, thanks as always
• 1:20:50
  for playing. I understand Space Oddities number issue three is on the way.
• 1:20:55
  Could you talk a little bit about where you're at with it. Yeah,
• 1:20:58
  it's taken forever to get here, but but I'm finishing up the art for
• 1:21:03
  the main story right now that there's gonna be a little side adventure that's in
• 1:21:06
  there as well. But we are coming to Kickstarter in August for number three.
• 1:21:13
  If you didn't read numbers one or two, we will will have tears
• 1:21:16
  there to catch up. It's gonna be probably around thirty pages of sci fi
• 1:21:24
  humor, goodness, and there will be some alternate covers, including one by
• 1:21:28
  Jason of Games. He's very excited about that, that's yeah, yeah,
• 1:21:33
  and he's he's almost too excited because he's he's working for peanuts. He did,
• 1:21:40
  but I mean, I don't know that he seems happy with it.
• 1:21:44
  So yeah, well we'll give him a few classes on negotiating his fee upwards.
• 1:21:48
  Yeah, exactly. But you know, that's that's a problem artists of
• 1:21:53
  all kinds is valuing your own work. You know, it's it's it's so
• 1:21:57
  tough to to to think know how much you're actually worth. Yeah, but
• 1:22:02
  yeah, no, we're really excited. We're we're coming back. It's been
• 1:22:06
  we've been away for a while and then with a unfortunately with key exploration of
• 1:22:11
  the podcast, we've got we've got a lot of episodes banked. We've got
• 1:22:14
  close to two hundred there, but we we haven't been doing any new ones
• 1:22:17
  for a little bit now. It's it's a lot more sporadic these days.
• 1:22:21
  But I'll put We're still around. Yeah, I'll put a link for the
• 1:22:25
  for the archive, and yeah, space oddities is the main thing, right
• 1:22:28
  In terms of following on some social I'll put some social links, put link
• 1:22:31
  to the website, and then again I might also update the copy of this
• 1:22:34
  one although we I think we might have you on again at the end of
• 1:22:38
  August. John, if we want to a last promo for that Kickstar Yeah,
• 1:22:42
  absolutely, yep, lovely stuff. Do check out all of our players
• 1:22:45
  work. It's it's just great stuff. It's inspiring to me and I just
• 1:22:49
  do this dumb game show. Yeah, we're creators of all this. You
• 1:22:55
  put a lot into this dumb game show, but not as much as the
• 1:22:58
  actual creatives that shout out the stuff. No, this is a this is
• 1:23:03
  all lovely stuff and a quick huge thank you to Ash and Adam, just
• 1:23:08
  In Dodberg, the Man himself, Aaron Randolph, and Derek and Taylor for
• 1:23:12
  their continued support. At the highest tier over at patreon dot com Forward slash
• 1:23:15
  Gates Sleepers, you are our executive producers. So if a remake happens,
• 1:23:20
  it's your fault, even the Timothy shallow May starling in it. And I
• 1:23:28
  totally skipped over because at the end I was gonna I was gonna reveal Jim
• 1:23:30
  Carrey as my Doc Brown. He can do serious, he can rein it
• 1:23:38
  in. I think down In Junior would do a great job too. Have
• 1:23:41
  you seen that face? Yeah, those those deep fakes with with I don't
• 1:23:45
  know. I can't get away from the whole iron Man Spider Man thing.
• 1:23:47
  But Tom Holland is clearly the modern Michael J. Fox. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:23:51
  yeah, that's that's fair enough. There were no arguments with that.
• 1:23:55
  But all right, let's get to our final scores. It actually ended up
• 1:24:00
  being closer at the end than I thought it did. I was very sarcastic
• 1:24:03
  to you, Aaron during the quick fire around about how far away you were.
• 1:24:06
  But yeah, yeah that was easy. I can I could be too
• 1:24:15
  lethal during the quickfire round. So Twin Pines you finish on a fantastic twenty
• 1:24:19
  five point five, but our winners, Mother Flux, has finished with twenty
• 1:24:25
  seven points. That was close. Holy yeah, very close, just in
• 1:24:28
  time. It's very good, justin justin well fun, well played, well
• 1:24:33
  played, well done, Likewise, if I if I ever need trivia partners
• 1:24:39
