  Speaker 1: Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Larger or Drunk Collider podcast,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: the podcast that's all about the geeky things happening in
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: the world around us and how excited we are about them.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: I'm aerial cast and with me, as always, is the
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: wonderful Jonathan Strickland.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Please note that there is an asterisk after my name.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: There is also special guests. The tree removal service outside
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: my window.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Often I get those on Thursdays, but we're recording on
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: a Friday, so I guess they moved over to Ariel's
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: neck of the woods.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we have. We have landscapers because I live in
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: a community with an hoa that come once a week
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: and they're supposed to come Thursday, and they've been coming
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: on Thursday and Friday and sometimes Tuesday, and I'm like,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: come on, guys, but this is an actual like tree
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: removal service. And they're right outside my windows, so they're
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: not my tree, but they're still right outside my window.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Right. We've had plenty of weather here in Atlanta, which
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: I imagine I imagine that has necessitated some tree removal
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: sometimes from across the street. Well let's get right into it, Ariel,
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: because we've got a lot to talk about. We took
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: a week off and we're back, and so we've got
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: some stuff that was on our lineup for last week
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: that we just didn't, you know, get around to recording,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: so we weren't able to use, and we got a
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: whole bunch of stuff that's new as well. And before
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: we get into any of that, we like to talk
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: about the kind of things we've watched since the last
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: time we recorded. And there's a couple because, like I said,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: it's been a couple of weeks. Weeks.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'll start with my little things because we
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: did watch something in common. Yes, we'll kind of talk
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: about that. So I've been watching through Bondsman, and the
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: first four episodes didn't super grab me.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: But this is the one where is it? Is it
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Kevin Bacon who's in this one?
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Kevin Bacon is playing a guy who died and went
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: to Hell and then Hell sent him back to hunt demons.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's like a bounty hunter for demons.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's a slightly more gory but also more
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: cheesy supernatural essentially, and the but episodes five and six
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: were really good. Episodes one through four were kind of
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: just they were fun because I was watching them with friends. Gotcha, Yeah,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: it's it's also it is done by Bluehouse, so it
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: is more gory than Supernatural. Not super but every once
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: in a while they really get me. I watched some.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: I'm caught up on Doctor Who. I'm enduring. I'm enduring
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: the current season.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: You're enduring it.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I'm enjoying the career season just much better. Apparently it's
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: could be a great great podcast episode if I can't talk,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: very funny. So I'm watching that. I'm all caught up
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: on it. I Yeah, the latest episode had to do
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: with a barber shop and it was really good. I'm
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: still playing through Balderskate three. It's really hard to play
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: a narrative game when you can only give it like
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: forty five minutes or an hour at a time, because
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: it takes some time to walk around the map, it
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: takes some time to get through the dialogue, and you
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: just don't feel like you're ever making that much progress.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: But I am enjoying it.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, especially if you enter into like a really tough battle,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: because those can take up a good amount of time too.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe the seventh time you'll succeed, which is my
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: like I'm playing a Barbarian, and I think it has
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: affected my mindset. And also it's my first time playing
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: through this game. Will I'll have a couple more playthroughs
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: with different kinds of characters and storylines and choices, but
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: this first time, I'm just trying to get through it.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: If I don't finish a second play through, I don't
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: feel bad. But I'm a Barbarian, so I'm just like,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I don't need to prepare. I'm just gonna walk in
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: and then we'll use whatever we have on hand. And
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: it doesn't often work because those are some pretty tough
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: battles and I'm on the easiest mode. But I've also
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: watched a little bit of like the It's been interesting
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: because the the storylines are way more thoughtful than I
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: expected this video game to have. Like when I went
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: into it, I'm like, I'm not going to romance the
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: annoying little vampire elf, but his storyline's actually really good
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: and thoughtful and caringly put together, so I'm enjoying it.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: But I've been watching like behind the scenes stuff because
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff interests me as an actor, and
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: then watching like the cast play D and D with
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: like abria Ainngar as the as the DM because that's fun.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: I went to see Maria Bamford and Jackie Kashin to
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: stand up this past week. That was also fun. It's
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: only geek adjacent, but it is geek adjacent to me,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: and Maria Bamford does really dark comedy. Yeah, but it
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: is also delightfully funny and makes me feel seen because
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: she does goofy things when she's feeling awkward and I
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: do too. And then I watched New Avengers, which I
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: know you also watched.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: No, I'm sorry, I watched Thunderbolts.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Oh shoot, you're right. I watched Thunderbolts. Dang. I was
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: reading my notes and I just put it put stuff
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: in wrong, that's all.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So yeah, I also saw Thunderbolts. What did you
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: think of the film?
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: I liked it. It definitely felt like it had higher
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: stakes than a lot of stuff has had recently, Like
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: there were genuine moments of me going, what's going to happen?
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: How are they going to do this?
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: My goodness, anxious for the characters. There was a good
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: amount of comedy, although not at the very beginning. Took
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: it took a bit for the comedy to come in.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I loved that they gave a couple of the characters
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: opportunity for growth, and I did feel like the team
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: came together naturally and organically, like in a believable way.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: It wasn't just like we all hate each other, we
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: all love each other. I do wish I felt like
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: the pacing was a little off here and there, and
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I do wish that they had given more characters than
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Yolena and a little bit of us Agent a chance
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: to grow because I care about those other characters, or
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I want to care about those other characters. But overall,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: I really enjoyed it. And I also loved that I
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: loved the kindness with which they dealt with Centuries' mental illnesses.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I really enjoyed it. I felt Ghost got the
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: shortest end of all the sticks.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Really really not task Master.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Well, without giving spoilers, okay, I think Ghost, here's the thing.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: To have the shortest of all the sticks, you have
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: to get a stick. Fair enough, task Master did not
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: get a stick. Task Master got stuck. Yeah, I think
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Ghost got the shortest of all the sticks. Out of
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: the members, I really just felt like she was just there,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: like we didn't didn't really. I mean, she had a
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: little moment where she reveals some of her backstory. But
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: here's the thing. If you had seen the ant Man film,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: you already know what her backstory is, right, Yeah, So yes,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: for someone who hasn't seen ant Man, that backstory is
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: necessary because otherwise you have no idea who this person
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: is or why they can do the things they can do.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: But it doesn't give you anything in addition to what
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: you've learned from ant Man. So she doesn't go anywhere.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: She doesn't have any advancement in her story arc at all.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: All of her growth with the team seems to come
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: from while I had to like and a lot of
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: the way, well, I had to come.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Back a lot of the like. This is this more
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: than pretty much any other Marvel film I have seen
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: up to this point, and keeping in mind I haven't
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: seen all of them, but this one, more than most.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: I feel is dependent upon you having seen other properties,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: not just movies, but also series. I guess Miss Marvel
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: probably or The Marvels rather. The Marvels definitely was another one,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: because with the Marvels, you kind of needed to have
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: seen Captain Marvel, Miss Marvel and WandaVision. In order to
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: really understand it, this one with Thunderbolts, you kind of
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: needed to have seen Black Widow Falcon in the Winter Soldier,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: and well, I think, yeah, I guess black Widow helps
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: because that's how you know who Red Guardian is, because
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Red Guardian does not show up in Hawkeye. Uh. Yeah,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: so this was a little weird. I will say I
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: still very much enjoyed this movie. I thought it was
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: incredibly entertaining. It's just I recognize that it's the kind
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: of movie that if you have not done your homework
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: and seen all this other stuff, a lot of the
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: details about who these characters are and why you should
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: care about them are not really dealt with in a
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: satisfying way. In my opinion, It's hard to say, because,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: like I have had the experience of having seen all
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: this other material. I liked both of the post film scenes,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: the mid credits and the post credits scenes. I thought
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: those were interesting. The post credits scene really sets up
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: something kind of neat that I wasn't anticipating.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: But I'm excited the first one or the second one.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: The post credits, not the mid credits. Okay, the minute
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: and a half long one. It sets up something interesting
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: that I wasn't expecting, and I kind of like it.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: I'm very curious to find out who belongs to the
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: organization that's mentioned in the post credits scene. Apart we
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: know who, we know one person who belongs to it
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: and that's it.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I felt like the post credit scene. I'm so
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: sorry about this background background noise, y'all. The post credit
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: scene didn't necessarily give new information, but he gave information
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: in a way that made me think about how the
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: next phase is going to unfold.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, it's trying to set things up for
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Doomsday Avengers Doomsday for one thing, and obviously a lot
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: more work has to happen for that film to be
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: set up. It's just got such a monumentally huge cast
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: and a lot of the characters have not been introduced
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: yet in the MCU, so a lot of work is
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: going to have to happen. But yeah, I overall enjoyed it.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: The other thing I watched besides Thutterbolt Slashed the New
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Avengers was Companion. I liked Companion. It was that's the
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Jack Quaid movie where he's dating a young woman who
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: has a quirky fact about herself that's revealed in the film.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: It's also revealed in the trailer, which is unfortunate because
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: I feel like the moment in the movie where it's
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: revealed was supposed to be a reveal, but I already
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: knew what the reveal was because it was in the trailer,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: and the whole time I'm watching, I'm like, Wow, they're
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: really not even addressing this fundamental aspect of this character.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: And then when it happened, I was like, Oh, it
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: was supposed to be a surprise.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Well, their marketing team, Shure, did a bad job at that.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah. No. I really was kind of irritated because I
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: thought I think I would have liked I enjoyed it
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: quite a bit, but I think I would have liked
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: it more if I had discover I've heard this aspect
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: of this character the way I think it was intended,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: rather than having found out through the movie trailer itself.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: So I think Companion is a decent kind of horror film.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: I guess horror slash thriller sort of film science fiction too.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: I think it's a decent movie. I would recommend if
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: you haven't looked into any of it, don't just watch it.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Because I think it's a better experience that way.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: How scary is it not scary?
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: It's not really scary. It's a little gory, but not super.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Gory, so not something where you'd need significant trigger warnings for.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you if like your if your typical
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: modern action movie has too much gore and violence in
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: it for your liking, then the same thing could be
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: said for this film. If you are like, oh, I
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: can and watch your typical action movie and not be
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: too upset by it, You'll be fine for this movie.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: I would say, well, that's what we done. Did have watched? Wow,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: my sentences they're great. Mm hmm, yeah, I'm good at things.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: That's what we've watched. Hey, so I think now we
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: got it. It's been two weeks. I don't remember how
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: this works, despite the fact we've been doing it for years.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: We go to thirty seconds or less.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: That's what I thought, you know, are here's the thing.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Are we make a nice little spreadsheet.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: But it's not in the order that we do it. Yeah, No,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: we maybe at some point we should like restructure the
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: the format for the spreadsheet, because the first thing we
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: do is besides the talking about what we last saw.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: The first thing we do is in the middle, the
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: second thing we do is at the bottom, and the
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: last thing we do is at the top.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: I mean the first thing we do at the very
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: very top, but kind of as an afterthought.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, this is that after we talk about well,
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: I don't even count the introduction or anything. Yeah, all right,
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: well let's talk about thirty seconds or less. I go first,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: here we go. While we were recovering, big news dropped
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: from the mouse house. The Walt Disney Company announced plans
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: to open a new theme park in Abu Dhabi in
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: partnership with a developer called Morale. This is primarily a
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: licensing deal, similar to what Disney has done in places
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: like Asia. The announcement has drawn concern from fans and
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: critics due to cultural issues that are very much at
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: odds with Disney's approach to inclusivity. But we'll have to
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: see how that pans out.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Next on things, we'll have to see how they pan out,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: but hopefully much more fun. Ryan Reynolds is apparently thinking
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: about making another Deadpool movie. I know he said he
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: wasn't gonna, but he won't be the main character. Probably
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: maybe other X Men, like for or five of them
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: at a time will be the main characters, and Deadpool
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: will be there for comedic support. It sounds fun. I
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: was a little sad when there weren't going to be
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: more Deadpool movies, because, yeah, I want him to be
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: a part of the main universe, so we'll.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: See the director of Thunderbolts, Jake Schreier, is reportedly in
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: talks to direct another big Marvel film, which would be
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: the first official X Men movie within the MCU. We've
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: been teased with various Mutants for years now, from Multiverse
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Professor X to Kamala Kahn's new mutant background to the
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: various Mutis and Deadpool and Wolverine. No word on when
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: we might expect this film that I suspect it's at
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: least two or three years down the road.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah. In news, that's only kind of sort of news.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Christian Ritter will be Jessica Jones in season two of
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Daredevil Born Again. It has been rumored for a while now,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: but they officially announced it at Disney's upfronts recently. I
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: thought Jessica Jones was a very fun character, and Kristin
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Ritter played her well, even though those tories were really
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Hard in the second season was just okay, so hopefully
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: very exciting.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Remember when killer Whales were in the headlines after they
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: seemingly targeted yachts and stuff. I'm sure you all know
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: it was only a matter of time before someone decided
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: to try and make a movie about this. Those someones
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: are writers Chris Sparling and Angel Aguno, who wrote a
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: screenplay called Black Tides Diehard. To director Rennie Harlan will Helm,
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: the picture, it's a story about a family attempting to
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: mend defenses. While you know, killer whales attacked.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Their boat, Aliens also attacked things, and by that I
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: mean xenomorph's. And so I'm going to talk about the
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: first looks from Alien Earth, and I'm not talking about
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: the very gory teaser that we got the other week.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: They've released a bunch of pictures from the show, and
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: thankfully those pictures all look like much more of the
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: corporate side of it, because when they very first announced
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Alien Earth, they were talking about how it was going
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: to really focus on Whylan Etani. And we know that
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: there is a ship that crashes, but we also know
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: that this show is going to focus a lot on
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: the five corporations that are governing the world. In twenty
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: one to twenty prodigy Wailan Utani Lynch Dynamic and Threshold.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: So I like the intrigue side of it, and I
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: hope they lean more into that than.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: The gross Together, the Body horror film co starring real
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: life husband and wife Dave Franco and Alison Brie, is
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: the subject of a copyright infringement lawsuit. Production company Studio
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Fest argues that Together lifted many elements from an independent
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: film called Better Half. Apparently, the film was offered to
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Franco and Brie, who passed on it, and then they
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: went on to make Together. For the record, lawyers for
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: the accused say the charges are without merit.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: We got a bunch of release dates for Newline Cinema,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: and the first is that Evil Dead will be coming out.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: The next Evil Dead movie will be coming out in
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: July twenty twenty six, July twenty fourth, twenty twenty six,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: and then we're getting in another m Night Shaman Chamaha movie,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: what a twist movie remain in October of twenty twenty six,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: and then maybe the I don't know. For some people,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: the most anticipated is the Hunt for Gollum movie will
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: be coming out in December of twenty twenty seven. Andy
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Circus will be both directing and acting in that. I'm
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: glad he can still get into Gollum pose because that
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: is hard for me right now. So man, I want
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: to be as fit as Andy cirkis. Also, I always
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: get hesitant when I know that the star is also
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: going to be directing.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: So yeah, but you know, he's got a lot more
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: time on his hands now that he's finished with that
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Star Wars series. What's it called?
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: And or if? But when?
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: How okay, that's good? You hit it all right? A
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: ten minute sizzlereel from the purposefully ridiculous Kung of Fury
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: the movie production has leaked. This is a feature link
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: film sequel to a short film that was released back
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: in twenty fifteen and its stars creator David Sandberg along
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: with celebs like Michael Fassbender or Schwarzenegger. The film was
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: in post production way back in twenty twenty, and then
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: a lawsuit from investors shut things down for a long time.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: The movie has reportedly been finished since April twenty twenty four,
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: but it's still entangled in legal issues. It's possible that
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: this leak is all we will ever see of the movie.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: We'll have to wait and find out.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I even saw the first one.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: I have it on DVD, and it's better as an
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: idea than as an actual short film.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Gotcha. Speaking of things that are better that as ideas
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: than films, the Godzilla versus the Godzilla x Kong series.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: The new movie has finally gotten its subtitle, which is
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: super Nova, where Godzilla and King Kong are teaming up
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: to fight UH, a threat that threatens all of Earth,
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: which means they are either super Nova. Makes me think
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: they're either gonna punch an asteroid in the face or
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: they're going to fight. Early two thousand's pop star Lisa
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Lopes for those who don't know, she had an album
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: called Supernova and a hit called Supernova. That's it's a
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: bad it's a bad well, it's a bad joke that
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: didn't age well. And even though I just made it.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Here, I was thinking that you were gonna make an
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Oasis joke because of Champagne Supernova. Anyway, a film company
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: called Altitude announced a theme park thriller movie titled hell Ride,
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: which we now know will be led by Fraser Zone
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: Kelsey Grammar. According to Deadline, the concept here is a
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: quote white knuckle survival thriller that follows a group of
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: high school seniors who break it to an abandoned theme
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: park for one final wild night, only to find their
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: nights spiraling into a nightmare. End quote. I'm hoping this
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: is another money Plane project, And if you don't know
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: what that is, it's a bad movie you really.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Want Kelsey Grammer attached to that bad of a movie.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: Kelsey Grammar was in money Plane.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Okay, Well I haven't want I take it back. Okay,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: speaking of bad decisions, I don't.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Actually don't know if this one is bad.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Max is changing its name back to HBO Max because
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: they have learned. What they say they have learned is
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: that people want better content, not more content, and that
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: the HBO Max name speaks to the demographic of subscribers
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: they have. I don't know. I just don't know.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if this has come through in
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: our various episodes of Large Nerdron Collider. But I can say,
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: at least personally, I have a dubious opinion of the
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: capabilities of Warner Brothers Discovery in general. I feel like
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: they've made a lot of goofamups. And the fact that
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: they change the name from HBO Max to Max and
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: then back to HBO Max, I think supports that point
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: of view.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: I don't even think it's gonna make a difference because
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: people who have this streaming network, no, they know what's
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: on it.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's I think it's more kind of
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: like a signal being shown of Hey, remember when we
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: open up the floodgates and flooded HBO Max with a
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: ton of Discovery stuff you didn't ask for or want. Yeah,
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: we realized now that was a dumb idea, and we're
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: gonna try and fix it. But you know what, I
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: think the damage has already been done, y'all. I don't know.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Having been part of Discovery Communications once upon a time,
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: I can't. I don't think my opinion could get much
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: lower than what it is right now.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, I yeah, I like some.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Of the programming. I just think that the people who
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: are calling the shots are more lucky than they are strategic.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: I can't disagree based on what we've seen. You know.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: I try not to talk too bad because I am
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: an actor and I don't want if we are popular
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: enough that the heads of HBO, Discovery, Warner Brothers are
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: listening to our show and like, well, we can't hire
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: her because she said we'd aren't well organized. Then we're
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: doing pretty good and I don't need them to hire me.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: But well, also I don't know why you'd want to
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: be hired by them anyway, There's a very good chance
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: that whatever project you're in never even get sees the
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: light of day and just gets shell for text actor.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: I love acting, I want to you know, but if
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: no one sees it, did you really act?
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: Yes, if you're if you're a if you're in a
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: like say a movie or a TV show, but it
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: never gets released, that you'd still find that personally rewarding.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, I would be very disappointed it never got released,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: but I would have still had the outlet of interacting
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: with all the other people who were involved in that film,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: being creative with them, which hopefully brings all of us
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: some value. And as one very one wise person once
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: told me, if you don't take the shot, you'll never get.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: It, wow, turning it back on me. Also also to
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: be fair, like you know, I say that asking like
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: in an incredulous tone. But then again, you and I
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: were both in an improvisational comedy troupe, and I famously
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: much preferred doing the workshops and rehearsals and didn't want
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: to do the actual performances. So I don't know why
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: I find it so alien the concept once we change
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: that to like a movie or a television.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Show for you know, for my finances, for my job
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: and career. Yes, I want something to be released because fiscally,
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: that's generally better. You do get paid for the days
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: you work regardless, right, but there's some form of residuals,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: even for streaming companies, so it's better. You know, when
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: I tell a story, part of the reason I act
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: is because I want to. I want other people to
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: feel seen. I want other people to have an escape
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: from maybe what's going on in their life, or an
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: outlet to deal with things that are going on in
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: their life, you know, to bring people joy and entertainment,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: because that's what film and television and acting and Renaissance
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Festival and all of that did for me. And I
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: love it, and I love telling those stories, and I
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: love making a positive impact on people's lives. That being said,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: you do that with you know, when you when you
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: do a stage play, if it's a good stage play,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: you leave that feeling like you have had such a
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: positive experience with all the other actors in the cast.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: So you're doing that as a part of the process,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: not just the end result. So yeah, yes, I would
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: want my story to be seen. I've put a lot
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: of hard work into it and I'm proud of it, hopefully,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: and you know, I want other people to be able
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: to see that story and feel from it what what
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: I was feeling from it and how it touched me.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: But it's it's you have to, especially in acting, you
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: have to love the journey.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think the thing that just trusts me up
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: over and over is that everything that is a really
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: good quality that's coming out of Order, Brothers Discovery, I
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: feel is good despite company leadership. Not I mean that
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: cause of company leadership.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: That's completely reasonable. Yeah, but you know, and I'm not
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: I'm an honest person. I agree. I don't think they're
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: well organized. I don't think they're making the best decisions.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: I'm not behind the doors, so I could be wrong,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: but it sure seems that way.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie just so I get cast and
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: again they aren't the ones making the casting decisions, and
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: they aren't listening to this show more than likely. So
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: it's fine. I was just sure it's silly.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: I sure, hope they're not. I've already insulted David Zaslov
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: to his face. I don't need to do it again.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Oh, I didn't tell you that story. I'll
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: tell you. I'll tell you someday.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Okay, cool, it's fine. I only I don't like tea
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: that much. I only needed a sip. It's fine.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean like, not that he should be insulted.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: I was. I was and still am nobody, but I
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: was definitely more of a nobody then, not as much
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: as of a nobody too, which takes me to are
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: doesn't actually fit this, It doesn't actually fit our episode.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: So we've got a whole bunch of well not a
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: whole bunch. We've got a small group of projects that
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: we wanted to touch on really quickly that don't really fit
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: our lineup. We've done this several times in the last
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: few episodes.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: I'd see it's a new segment.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll go ahead and say I'll go ahead and
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: say this. This fake segment is a we'll start with
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: Nobody Too, which is actually jumping down the list a
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: little bit, but I've already referenced it. So Nobody is
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: an action film that stars Bob Odin Kirk as a
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: kind of like a like a intelligence agencies fixer slash
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: cleaner kind of guy. Like he's the guy you call
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: in to go in and like solve a problem with
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: extreme prejudice, and he's sort of like retired, except that
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: someone targets his family and that drives him into crazy
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: killing time. Well, Nobody Too is the same, except now
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: it's road trip, so it's like National Lampoon's Vacation meets you.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Know, you aren't even kidding because they the song they
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: play throughout the trailer is Holiday Road, which I believe
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: was written for National Lampoon.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah by by one of the members of Fleetwood Mac.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: As it turns out, Yeah.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: It's a It is really interesting in this trailer because
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: I watched Nobody Want. It wasn't as good as I
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: wanted it to be, but it was passable.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: Same felt the same way.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah it was. It was a fine popcorn movie, but
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: it wasn't exceptional. It wasn't everything I wanted it to be.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: It didn't quite hit all of the right comedy notes
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: this one. They they go back and forth in the trailer.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: Some moments feel very like warm and family friendly and
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: like the family's getting in on this, and and and
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: fun lighthearted action, and some of it feels like the
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: darkest points have taken so they're gonna have to do
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: a They're gonna have to really focus on balancing that out,
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: because you can have both in a movie. It's just
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: got to be well balanced. By the end of the trailer,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: I felt like they were balancing it out, but they
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: went from light dark to lighthearted, too dark, to a
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: mix of the ball and I was like getting a
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: little bit of whiplash.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: And it is very strange seeing Bob Odenkirk playing like
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: an unstoppable killing machine who does take a lot of
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: abuse in the process. But even more silly than that
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: is Christopher Lloyd, who plays Bob Odenkirk's character's dad, also
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: being an unstoppable killing machine. Senior citizen.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: You know, I am for that. Christopher Wood was the
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: best part of the first movie.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like I agree with that. I thought
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: this was ridiculous. I guess I'm not surprised that Nobody
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: was notable enough to get a sequel. I love the
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: use of Holiday Road and the trailer, and the fact
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: that they're going to an amusement park, which again is
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: very similar to National Lampoon's Vacation. I don't know. I'm
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: sure i'll watch this on streaming. That's how I watched
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: the first Nobody. But it does come out on August fifteen.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, it is very interesting. Nobody and the Thunderbolts
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: have very similar ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, and they're good ratings.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: It's Nobody is eighty four percent Fresh critical and ninety
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: four percent Fresh audience, and Thunderbolts is eighty eight percent
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: Fresh critical and ninety four percent Fresh audience. I'm honestly
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: surprised Thunderbolts didn't get a better box office opening weekend.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Again, enjoyable film, but if you didn't, if you
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: don't have the background in the MCU and all of
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: the shows and stuff, it is a little harder to parse.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: Like there were references to Captain America, the last Captain
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: America movie, which I still haven't seen, but at least
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: that reference was pretty easy to figure out.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: But I did think Thunderbolts was way better than Nobody won.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: But also we've talked about this so much that we
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: should have put it in our main lineup. So on
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: to the next.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: One, Holy Trinity, Yes.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Which is a Western movie with Samuel Jackson.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: Yes. Samuel Jackson plays a thief criminal named Saint Christopher
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: or called Saint Christopher, and in the past, Saint Christopher
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: partnered with a guy named Isaac Broadway and the two
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: of them stole tons of gold. Isaac Broadway subsequently dies.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: I'm guessing that Saint Christopher had something to do with that,
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: and his son, Henry Broadway is now has now traveled
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: I guess, probably to pay his respects or whatever. But
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: Saint Christopher is convinced that Henry Broadway knows where all
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: that stolen gold is, and so Saint Christopher wants to
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: get into that guy's melon and find out where's that
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: juicy juicy gold. And Pierce Brosiden is also in it
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: as the sheriff of a town called Trinity. Why'd you
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: think of the little trailer?
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: I thought it looked like a fun Western Western is
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: also one of those ones that does skirt on whether
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: it fits or not, Yeah, but because period less because
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: Western shoot them up and more because period pieces, but
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: also a little bit Western shoot them up. There's a
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: lot of crossover, you know, in all genres. I thought
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: it looked like a fun little Western. It's one that
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: I might watch.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I like the actors in it. It comes
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: out June thirteenth, so it'll be out in less than
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: a month, so yeah, kind of interesting.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: Next we have I I was gonna do that one.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: Oh please please, No, it's fine.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: You probably have more to say on it because I
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: was rushing through these. Next we have Honey Don't, which
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: is like if you took Paramount Plus's Elsbeth and you
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: mixed it with righteous Gemstones, meaning that you've got like
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: a female detective kind of character who who partners up
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: with a really shady pastor type character to do heiste
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: solving slash violence.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's I think it's a crime movie.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: And Alossa Chris Evans is a total scumbag. Chris Evans
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: is playing the scumbag evangelist evangelist preacher type character who's
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: clearly a hypocrite and very likely a criminal. And Margaret
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: Qually plays the Honey The Private Eye. You also have
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: Aubrey Plaza in this, and Charlie Day is in this.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: It's in such a small part of the trailer though.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he may not have a large part in the
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: show or the film rather, but I was. I love
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: hearing his voice. Whenever I heard Charlie Day's voice, I'm happy.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: It's very quirky looking. You would not be surprised to
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: learn that Ethan Cohen of the Cohen Brothers is the
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: the co writer and director of this and it comes
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: out on August twenty second. I liked this trailer a lot.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know. It rides a line just like Righteous
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Stones rides a line as something that I don't know
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: if I can recommend to people, But I find both
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: upsetting and entertaining. Yeah, I was gonna say something else,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: and I never remember what.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: Now was it about dangerous animals?
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: No, because I did not watch that trailer, I know better.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we already we.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: Should have put don't watch it, but I think you
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: already knew.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: I wasn't gonna. We already watched a trailer for this
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: film in the in a previous episode.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: But I do know what it is. Margaret Qualley reminds
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: me of one of my acting friends so much that
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: I have to take a double take every time I
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: see her.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: Ah, I got youa well Back to Dangerous Animals. We
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: did talk about this in a previous episode. This is
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: the horror thriller film in which a psychopathic charter boat
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: captain feeds people to sharks for his own personal entertainment.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: He tapes them and labels them and yeah, this this
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: trailer just gives us more looks into how psychotic he is.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: In my notes, I wrote that it looks like Split
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: meets Jaws meets Cape Fear and it comes out June sixth.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: This is one where I know Ariel won't watch it,
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: but I don't know. Part of me kind of wants
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: to watch it, but it also just looks so sleazy
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: that I might have to skip it.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: Last in Our Doesn't Really Fit is a movie that
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: actually came out in twenty twenty three. It's South by Southwest,
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: but it's getting a theatrical release this August called Americana.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: It stars Sidney Sweeney and Paul Walter Hauser and then
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: a bunch of others.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: How housey, housy, O housey not?
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: How's you weren't telling me I pronounced how'ser.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: Wrong, not Housey.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I said Paul walter Hauser, right, all right, and Halsey,
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: he said Housey, And I thought you were telling me
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: that I misper Houser.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: Now, this is another kind of crime film. It has
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: sort of comedic undertones, sometimes tones and maybe even overtones
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: at parts, but it also feels a little Coen Brothers esque.
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: It's not by the Coen Brothers, but it feels like
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: it's heavily inspired by Cohen Brothers movies. The basic premise
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: is that there's this article of clothing of Native American origin,
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: and it's apparently very rare and incredibly valuable, and so
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: all these different people want to get possession of this
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: article of clothing, which includes like some criminals, a guy
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: who's apparently willing to pay a half million dollars for it,
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: which pulls in Sydney Sweeney's character, who she's an aspiring singer,
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: and so she's thinking like, if she can get that money,
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: that can fund her quest to becoming a famous, accomplished
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: country music singer. Also, some Native Americans want to get
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: it because it belongs to their people, and so it's
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: kind of like all these folks culminating and gathering and
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: conflict with one another in an attempt to get possession
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: of this piece of clothing. Oh, and then it includes
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: a little kid who seems to believe that he is
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: the reincarnated spirit of Sitting Bull. The white kid, a
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: white kid who thinks he's a Native American weird.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: I mean it feels like it's making fun of americanic culture.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I not necessarily indigenous culture.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: I thought the trailer looked entertaining. It did give me
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: very strong Cohen Brothers vibes, but not quite as like
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: Coen Brothers has an edge to it that this movie,
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: or the trailer at least doesn't seem to have. But
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: that doesn't mean it's not actually there in the finished product.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: That may just be the fault of the trailer.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I you know it has marks on in it though,
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: And I love him so.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: And this movie comes out August twenty second, So check
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: out the trailer see if it's something that you would
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: be interested in. I think it looks intriguing. I don't
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: know that I'll go to the theater to see it,
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: but I'll probably end up watching this at some point.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: That is, all of our doesn't really fit. But now
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: we're going to go into things that do fit. And
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: the first thing is we've been talking a little bit
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: about upfronts this episode already. Well, Fallout also had an upfront.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's part of Amazon Primes Upfronts.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and some footage from that got released. I don't
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: think it was supposed to, but it is still up
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: on the internet.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, depending on where you look, because the link that
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: was originally in our lineup led to Okay. So the
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: they showed a teaser for Fallout season two, and the
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: teaser really comes into parts. One part is a series
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: of in world commercials hosted by I think it's Cooper
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: is the guy's name, but it's Walton Goggin's character before
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: he becomes a Ghoul. Yeah, yeah, and it's kind of
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: like him having to do a series of progressively ridiculous
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: commercials for products within the Fallout universe pre bombing. And
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: then at the end there's like a thirty three second
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: bit where it's just a shot of New Vegas as
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: the Ghoul and Eloprenell's character whose name I forget now
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: are Lucy, where they're looking out at New Vegas and
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: then they walk toward it. And it's so funny because
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: the link that Ariel put in originally was not a
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: link to that footage. It was a link to a
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: twelve and a half minute video of a guy talking
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: all about Fallout and at great length. That doesn't make
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: any sense.
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: I am like, I am so sorry about that, and
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: that I didn't catch it, and that you were like, hey, Ariel,
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: are you sure this is the link? It doesn't look
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: like a trailer to me.
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: Well, I I you know, in the full interest of
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: full disclosure, I watched it this morning, like I had not.
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: I hadn't clicked on the link until this morning, and
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: then I did some searching of my own, and that's
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: when I discovered that a lot of the other links
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: to this footage have already been taken down, which is where,
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: you know, we come up with the the guess that
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: this was not meant to be released.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: We do know that Fallout season two is going to
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: come out in December. We also know this is kind
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: of to me. We also know that it's already been
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: renewed for a third season before the second season even
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: gets shown to anybody.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: I really enjoyed the first season. I hope the second
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: season is as good. It's got any acron it so,
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: I mean it's it's already got.
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: A leg up at least the at least the upfront
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: footage had Amy Acker in it.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: They better have her in it. She's she's such a
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: great comedic slash series acts.
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: But she was she was shown in the pre fallout footage,
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: so I would not hope for an extensive appearance by Abyager.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: I mean because some one did a lot of flashing
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: back and forth.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I was about to say, unless she's a ghoul
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: or in a lot of flashbacks, you're not going to
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: see her too much.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: But maybe well we know from season one. I guess
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: this is a spoiler if you haven't watched it. But
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: if you haven't watched it by now, I doubt you
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: are like a lot of the people who worked for
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: that Vault Corp, Vultco, Vault Tech, vult Tech, thank you.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: I'm not as big into the fall outlare. I love
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: the story, but then it just leaves my brain. Lived
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: in in vaults, so she could be.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: In a vault, well, she'd be two hundred years old.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: I mean she.
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: Would need to be. She would need to be cryogenically frozen,
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: which is what some of the characters have experienced.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: It is a possibility.
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, I thought, I'm excited to see season two.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: I very much enjoyed the first season. That's what That's
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: what made me fall in love with Ella Pernell Because
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: I had not watched Yellow Jackets. I was not really
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: familiar with her work, and I just love her performance
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: as Lucy. She's such so delightful, and I love her
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: interactions on press tours, like she comes across as a
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: very like fun person to talk to.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: So she also does a voice in Arcade.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: Yes, so she's gone right up there with Florence Pugh
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: and Anya Taylor Joy as my celebrity girlfriends.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: Nice nice someday celebrity.
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: Okay, Like, so Ariel is also my girlfriend, you know,
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: not really, she's she's she's female and has been my
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: friend for twenty years. But I'm just saying, you don't
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: need to become a celebrity to be my girlfriend. Ariel
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: More Seriously, we also got a although not that serious.
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: We also got trailer for season two of Peacemaker.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I will say this. The trailer for season two
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: of Peacemaker felt more upbeat, It felt more hopeful than
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: season one did. Yeah, because the main characters already had
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: some growth.
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say it does. It does feature
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: the characters kind of being a little irritated that they
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: aren't being treated as heroes after they had done very
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: heroic things in the first season. But that makes sense,
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: Like that's kind of like Peacemaker, that's a deep issue
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: for him already, Like that was kind of an ongoing
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: thing with him in season one. Yeah.
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: I when I first started watching this trailer. Spoiler for
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: the trailer, Guy Gardner is in it, who is also
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: in the New Superman movie. For those who haven't been
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: following or have put it out of their mind, Peacemaker
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: is supposed to be in the other world and not
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: a part of the main New DC universe, whereas spider
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: Man is a part of the New DC universe. Noises
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: or not spider Man, Superman, Yes, Superman, the New Superman
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: Movie is Sorry, I might the next thing is about
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: spider Man. In my brain just popped down to the
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: next line and it interspersed one s Man word with
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: another s Man word when I was talking. It was unintentional.
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: Now from other bits of the and I was like,
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: I knew it. I knew there was only so much
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: time before James Gunn made this a part of the
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: regular universe. But later on in the trailer it looks
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: like they might be dealing with some multiverse stuff.
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: So yeah, well because because in that same scene with
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: Guy Gardner, there's also Hawk Girl and Max Lord.
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: So hawk Girl is in the Superman movie too.
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: I know. That's what I'm saying, is that it's not
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: just Guy Gardner who was showing up in that scene,
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: it's also hawk Girl and Maxwell Lord. So yeah, it
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: may be a multiverse thing. Which, come on, y'all, we
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: get enough of that in Marvel already. We don't need
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: more multiverse stuff. Please stop. That goes for you too, Marvel, Like,
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: I know we're gonna get it because we know about doomsday,
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: but whatever.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: But you know what, I enjoyed Peacemaker Season one way
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: more than I anticipated that I would.
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we also, I thought.
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: It was gonna be too too much for me, but
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: I loved it.
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: We also get some shots of Rick Flagg Senior, who's
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: played by the same actor who played Rick Flagg Junior.
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: Is it Yeah, it's not.
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: The guy whoa, it's you know, it's not it's Creature Commandos.
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: It's not. It's Frank Grill. Oh, yes, you're right, yes.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: Yes, So that is also interesting. Now Creature Commandos is
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: a part of the main DC universe.
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because it was technically the first project that was
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: in the main DC U, the.
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: New main DC universe. Yeah, the James Gunn one. But yeah,
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: Frank Grillo plays Rick Flagg Senior there and will be
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: live actioning him in Peacemaker. It is interesting to me
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: because I was noticing back when I was looking up,
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: like the voice actors for the various characters in Creature Commandos,
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: a lot of them look similar enough that they could
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: one thousand percent play the live action version. That is
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: not always the case with voice actors. But I suspect
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: that we will my complete conspiracy theory, I suspect we
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: will get live action Creature Commandos and that they will
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: be the voice actors, And I think that's pretty cool.
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah. We also got another trailer for Superman. Speaking of DC,
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: and this one we actually see a lot more of
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: Lex Luthor instead of just like still shots of him.
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: He's walking and talking and being all villainy in this
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: like it appears that a lot of his motivation is
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: based on envy. I would say, like he he resents
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: Superman for various reasons, which kind of puts it similar
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: to Oh, who was it that played Lex Luthor like
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: three Superman movies? Ago? Is it Eisenberg?
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: I can't remember, but like the Superman versus Batman and
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: all that.
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, because because that was very kind of similar,
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: Like he just had this thing about wanting to take
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: Superman down a peg like that's I mean, you know that.
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: Way with Michael Rosenbaum in Smallville too.
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it kind of feels like that's that's again
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: surfacing in this We do get to see more Guy
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: Gardner slash Green Lantern action. In this trailer, we see
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: a little bit of Hawk Girl and so of the
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: other characters, but Guy Gardner has a little swipe his hand,
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: you know, dismissively and wipe out a military unit moment.
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: In the trailer.
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: You see a lot more Lois Lane, and that's an
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: interesting dynamic I didn't expect.
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I'm a little curious as to whether because
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: like she's talking to Clark interviewing him as Superman, but
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: I can't tell if he's supposed to actually, like if
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: she's supposed to know that he's Superman or if he's
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: supposed to be standing in place of Superman.
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: Interesting, I hadn't thought of that to me at came
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: across as she already knows he's Superman.
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, which is fine, I guess, Like it's not like
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: we need to have stories where she's currently unaware of
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: his identity. It's not necessary.
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: Really, this isn't an origin story.
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: No, which is also a good thing. We've seen the
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: origin story enough. But like, there are certain elements that
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: I like watching, Like I like stories where Lois doesn't
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: yet know Superman's actual identity. It doesn't have to be
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: an origin story. But I do like that element where
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: because it adds a bit of pathos because Clark can't
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: connect with Lois the way Superman connects with Lois. But
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: as Superman, he cannot, you know, have a relationship with
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: Lois because it would put her in danger. Like, I
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: like that little element to it. But we get that
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: in Spider Man too, So I don't know.
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, overall this this trailer made me hopeful.
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: I enjoyed, it hit me in the right fields. I
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: liked the back. I liked the strength of Lois. I
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: liked the warmth and kindness and upstandingness of the Kents,
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: because I know that's something that many people, including myself,
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: had issues with in like Man of Steel. The part
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: of why Superman is so good is not just nature
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: but his nurture. The Cants raised him to be such
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: an upstanding person, and in Man of Steel they were
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: kind of like, don't put yourself in danger, and in
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: this one they're right where the cants should be, and
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: I liked that.
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Same. I've said it so many times where I
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: felt one of the biggest missteps of the Snyder era
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: of Superman was that they didn't make him a hero
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: like he wasn't he didn't feel the call to be heroic.
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: It was almost like it was an obligation he didn't want,
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: as opposed to something that he embraced. And to me,
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: that fundamental difference is what made it not feel like
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: Superman to me. So I much prefer the version that
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: we're seeing in in this trailer as well. I mean,
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: it's interesting because it does look like Superman gets the
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: snot beat out of him quite a bit in this
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: which makes you wonder what the capabilities are of the
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: bad guys well.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: And also it does similarly to Justice the Justice the
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: Snider verse. You know, he is fighting a world that's
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: like you can't do these things, you shouldn't do these things.
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, similar in some ways to the stuff that
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: led up to in the Marvel Universe Civil War, right,
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: like the argument of should a hero do these things
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: because they're capable of it, or should they be you know,
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: subjected to the the laws and the direction of various
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: countries leadership. When you've got someone who's so powerful that
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: nothing the leadership can do can stop them. You know,
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: this is also tying into a lot of the postmodern
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: superhero stories that we run into, stuff like The Boys,
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: where it goes super dark with it, but you know,
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: very similar in many ways. I am curious about it.
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: I know that this movie has had rocky journey that
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: gets Obviously they had like some rough screenings. It sounds
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: like it's oh yeah, no. There were reports about a
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: month and a half ago about some bad screenings where
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: people were voice and concerns about it. And I think
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: there were some reshoots or at least a re edit.
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: I had missed all of that.
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like there was some stuff that was making it
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: sound like maybe it was going to be a misfire.
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: My hope is that anything that was an issue has
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: been ironed out at this point. It comes out July eleventh,
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: so we don't have that much longer to wait to
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: find out.
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: Next week got a trailer for Ironheart, which is the
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: kind of like the successor to Iron Man.
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Rary Williams, who was introduced in the second Black
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: Panther movie. She is a brilliant technologist young woman who
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: in that film makes her own Iron Man ish suit.
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: In this one, she appears to have an encounter with
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: a villain who is known as the Hood. He's not
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: introduced that way in the trailer, but that is.
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: Who he is. So in fact, when you if you
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: don't know and you're first watching this, you're like, why
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: is Anthony Anthony Ramos wearing a cape that looks so dorky?
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's because he's It's because he's the Hood, and
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: the Hood gives him powers like being able to turn
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: invisible and stuff.
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: For reference, if you watched What If season three, the
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: Hood was also Shang Chi's sister in his episode of
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: What If.
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: So the trailer essentially shows her really kind of being
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: convinced by the hood to potentially do some illegal stuff
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: in return for her being able to pursue her goals
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: of creating a suit that's iconic. Like, the sense I
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: get is that Reary is driven by ambition and a
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: need to be recognized for her brilliance and her work,
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: and this leads her to making really bad decisions, getting
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: wrapped up in the wrong crowd.
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: It feels more anti hero than hero.
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then she has to deal with the consequences
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: of her choices. Now. I say that because the trailer
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: has a ton of comments under it, and when I
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: looked at it, a lot of those comments were people
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: complaining of, Oh, sure, some girl being able to do
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: what Tony Stark couldn't do. Blah blah blah. She's so perfect,
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: she could do anything. Why are you even making a
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: character like this, you know, blah blah blah blah blah,
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: like arguing that she's like a Mary Suit. And I thought,
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: did you not watch the trailer, because in the trailer
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: it's very Yeah, probably not. In the trailer, it's very
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: clear she has a massive character flaw, and that's you know,
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: her dealing with the consequences of this flaw is what
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: propels the story forward, just like arguably Tony Stark. Also,
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: I didn't see people complaining about Tony Stark being incredibly
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: capable and snarky and he was a total jerk face character,
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: Like that's what people found entertaining about him. But when
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: it's Reary Williams, suddenly it's a bad thing.
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: Yep. Those I bet you ninety five percent of those
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: commenters either didn't watch the trailer at all or didn't
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: put it on but didn't pay attention to it and
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: just confirmed their own biases throughout it.
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Without actually watching it, I thought it was a
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: delightful trailer. I wasn't excited about the Ironheart series when
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: they announced it. I think mainly because they didn't utilize
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: Reread Williams quite well enough in Black Panther two. I
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: think the actress did a fine job at just this
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: story was a little bit lacking. But this trailer gives
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: me hope.
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel the same way, Like I thought the
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: trailer looked fine. Like honestly, the trailer made me think
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: this is on the higher end of the Disney plus
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: Marvel series. Like if you I would probably put Falcon
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: and the Winter Soldier like smack dab in the middle, right,
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: Like that's that's like the middle point. It's not fantastic,
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: but it's not terrible. I would put WandaVision at the
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: best of the best, yes, right, Secret Wars would probably
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: be the worst of the worst.
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: And then I think Ironheart to me looks like it
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: falls between Falcon and the Winter Soldier and WandaVision like
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: it at least based on the trailer. Now, maybe that
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: we saw all the greatest moments of the series in
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: the trailer, and maybe when we watched the series we're like, oh, yeah,
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: this was a dud. But I can't I don't think
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: you can just prejudge the whole series because that trailer
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: wasn't bad.
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: I agree, I agree, and I would put it in
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: this based on the trailer in the same spot as you. Next,
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: we have a trailer for Sorry, I'm not trying to
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: rush us, but also it is late.
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: And we've got we still have quite a few stories
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: to get there.
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, full full disclosure. We talked for a full hour
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: before we started recording, which was lovely but also put
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: us behind. So next we have a trailer for Squid
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: Game three. Squid Game Season three difference. One would be
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: a movie, one would be a TV show, and this
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: one comes with three squids and a baby.
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's there's like a baby crying and part of it.
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: It comes out June twenty seventh. It doesn't really give
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: us too much information about what's going on, apart from
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: the fact that the remaining survivors because Squid Games three
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: picks up right after Squid Games two and the games
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: are not done yet. It has like in the first season,
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: the games go all the way until there's only a
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: sole survivor left. In the second season, they do not
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: get that far, but we do see in the teaser
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: that in season three, the remaining survivors are divided up
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: into Team Red and Team Blue, which splits up some
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: of the people who have ties with one another, including
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: people who are related to each other.
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: Interesting.
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but not much else to say about it other
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: than I am looking forward to the conclusion of this
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: that comes out June twenty seventh. I don't think I
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: mentioned it, but Ironheart comes out June twenty fourth. In
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: case you were curious, let's just move on to the
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: Old Guard too now, I did not watch The Old
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: Guard and had to. I remember we talked about it,
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: but I had to go back and reread about it
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: in order to refresh my memory.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: I same, I was like, Old Guard, isn't that just
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: the female version of.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: Either?
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: Isn't that either Mila jiujoviovic b movie or The Expendables
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: but with ladies? And I was wrong in both counts.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: No, it's it's Highlander but with guns.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't remember. I remember we talked about The
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: Old Guard, but I don't remember anything about it. Apparently
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: it's a bunch of immortals that do gun stuff. But
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: the trailer for season two or the trailer for Movie Too,
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: Lord Ariel, get it together.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: No, it's fair. We have movies and series mixed up
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: this week. Usually I try and keep all the movie
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: stuff together in one place and the series together in
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: another place. But when you're talking about stuff that also
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: interrelates from franchise, it gets real messy.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So the trailer for Old Guard Too looks interesting
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: to me.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Charlie's theuran is playing the protagonist Andy. So I
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: had to look this up because I mean, it's it's
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: said in the trailer, but Andy was a mortal, but
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: somehow it wore off. I'm sure that was explained in
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: the first film. But like in the trailer, she mentions
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: that she's no longer immortal. So something happens in the
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: first film where she loses her immortality. I don't know
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: what that is because I never saw the first movie.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: And now there's like some other immortal warriors who are
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: gunning for her, literally, and that's all I can say.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: It is kind of like a superhero movie, but it's
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: based off a comic book that I've never read. I
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: will say that the first film has an eighty percent
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: on Rotten Tomatoes. However, the average the average score, like
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: eighty percent just means eighty percent of critics liked it
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: more than they disliked it. The score the average score
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: is six point five out of ten. So it's like,
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: it's like, yeah, it's not bad, that's not great. That's
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: kind of the feeling I get. But apparently it was
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: good enough to justify a sequel. This comes out July
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: second on Netflix.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: Oh well that doesn't I I was going to judge
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: it based on that, but I shouldn't because Netflix does
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: put out some very good stuff. Yeah, brother, son was
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: very good. We got a new trailer for Ballerina, and
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: You're like, You're like, isn't this the fifty thousandth trailer,
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: And yes it is, But Jonathan wanted to make a comment.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: So Jonathan the comment is that John Wick shows up
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: a lot in this trailer, and I suspect it's almost
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: as much screen time as he will have in the
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: actual film.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: And we learned that when you think of Ballerina, you
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: should think of fire. That's about it.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it comes out, comes out June sixth. We'll find
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: out if John Wick plays a much more important part
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: than I suspect. But next up, it's something that I'm
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: really curious to hear what Ariel thought about, because I've
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: read the novella that this is based off of. But
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: we got a trailer for The Long Walk. This is
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: based off a Stephen King novella. He wrote it. I
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: think this is one of the ones he wrote under
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: the pen name Richard Bachmann. And why don't you talk
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: about what The Long Walk appears to be. I'm curious
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: what you think.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: I haven't read The Long Walk. I've honestly not read
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: any I've read like one Stephen King novel that was
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: more of like a romance novel that I picked up
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: at the library when I was a teenager, and did
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: not like most of my Stephen King knowledge comes from
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: my husband. Did read a lot of Stephen King growing up,
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: not all of his stuff and not more of the
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: recent stuff. Did enjoy the Long Walk back years ago
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: because I think it was pre Strike when they first
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: talked about making this, he told me what it was about.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: And much like Squid Game or some other films, the
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: the dire and bleakness of this story does not appeal
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: to me. Sure, I mean, I've watched them a squid Game.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: I will finish it, but there's just like there's a
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: sinking darkness and like discomfort and grossness I feel watching
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: something where people know that they're going to die or
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: know that everybody around them is going to die. Yeah,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: it upsets me. It upsets my stomach.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: And so did you feel that way about like Hunger Games,
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: which is has a lot of similarities to it too,
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: I think because I.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: Went into the first Hunger Games not fully knowing for context,
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: not as much it definitely. I think. I think the
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: difference is that in Hunger Games, it was people trying
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: to stop that and avoid that and get a better outcome.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: Right in squid games, it's people not knowing that at first.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: The really upset stomach feeling came in when people went
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: back to the game in season one. Yeah, prior to that,
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: it was it was upsetting and it was horrible, but
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: like they didn't know, so you couldn't or a lot
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: of them didn't know at least, So watching this trailer,
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: I knew it would be hard. I kind of had
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: to skip through the bits of the trailer because you
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: cannot give me. The trailer starts off with very like
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: stand by me vibes, where like all the boys are
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: hopeful because they're not really thinking, or all the participants
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: are hopeful because they're not really thinking about the end
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: game of it yet.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so what is the game? Just so that this
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: could figure out.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: I'm going to get the details wrong, but basically, a
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: hundred people one hundred A bunch of people are lined
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: up and they have to keep walking, and if they
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: stop walking for whatever reason, they have to go to
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: the bathroom, or they get a leg cramp or they fall,
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: they get killed, and the last person walking gets a
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: whole bunch of money.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's essentially right. They're all young boys and
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: teenage boys, and they have to walk at a pace
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 2: of three miles per hour at minimum, and if you
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: dip below that, you get warning, and if you get
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: three warnings, you get shot.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And like everybody has different reasons for doing a
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: game like that, but it all equals out to the
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: same thing. For me, it looked well done. The acting
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: looked great in this trailer.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: I love the actor playing the bad guy.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all of a sudden, his name is Mark Hamill.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: Gosh Ariel get it together. Yeah, Mark Hamill playing the
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: bad guy is really good. However, when they started showing
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: the results of getting your warnings or dipping under the
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: three miles an hour, I had to kind of fast
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: forward through.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 2: I couldn't super grim. So Richard Bachman, the pen name
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: that Stephen King used, he often said that he would
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: the stuff he wrote under the pen name Richard Bachman
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: was like Stephen King without the conscience, and you can
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 2: kind of get a feel for that in this trailer.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: It does look just as grim as the novella. Having
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: read the novella and assuming that it's faithful to the story,
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: I know how this is going to end. It's gonna
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: be a rough watch, y'all. But I was really impressed
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: by this. I wasn't sure that this would ever make
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: a good movie. The story itself is pretty like absurd,
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: not in a funny way, but just like in a
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: can you imagine a reality where this would be socially acceptable,
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: where you know, the idea being that so many people
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: are in such terrible conditions that a sun would opt
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: to participate in this competition in the hopes of winning
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: life changing money for his family. But at least I
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: mean granted, they're young, so maybe they don't know, no,
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: like they don't really appreciate, but most everyone else if
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 2: they do win, dies.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, so there is that thing like when
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: you're young, you think you're invincible, and you're like, well,
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: this could happen, but it's not going to happen to me. Yeah, right,
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: But yes, I think that's the problem. And that's the
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: problem with a lot of like situational horror as opposed
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: to like supernatural horror. For me, as I get older
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: and I realize that a lot of these situations are
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: not as far off as I thought they were when
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: I was young. That they are a lot more plausible,
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: is why I don't have as much of a stomach
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: for them anymore.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: Sure, well that makes sense. This comes out September twelfth.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: I this is probably another one I will watch when
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: it comes to street. I'm curious because, having read the novella,
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: I want to see how it plays out on screen.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of interesting character dynamics in the novella
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 2: that I wonder if that will make it to the
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: screen version. And I also want to see Mark Hamill
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: playing like an out and out like not Jonker villain,
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: irredeemable and like dispassionate bad guy. It's not just these
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: it's not just these evil that. It's that he appears
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: to have no emotional response to any of it.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, I do need to put in before we move
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: on to our last four stories, which will go quicker
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: because I don't have as much to say about them.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: I do have some I did watch everything but the
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: one you told me not to. Speaking of novella's coming
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: to the screen, the first episode of murder Bot drops today.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: Oh yes, yes, I'll be watching that tonight. I'll probably
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: try and catch some of that this weekend before our
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 2: next recording So let's let's get a trio of supernatural
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: horror trailers out of the way. First up, we have
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 2: The Ritual. I have a negative reaction to this trailer
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: from the get go, but that's because there's misinformation in it,
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 2: which is that at the beginning of the trailer, well
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: two misinformation pieces. One it's based off a true story,
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 2: and secondly that says it's the story that inspired the Exorcist.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 2: It is not. This is not the story that inspired
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: the Exorcist. Now, if you watch the trailer, you're like, wow,
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 2: this looks a lot like The Exorcist, Like, yeah, it's
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: because they're this movie was inspired by the Exorcists, specifically
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 2: the film version. But the story that inspired the Exorcist
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: was one that supposedly happened to a young boy, not
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: a girl. The story that we see unfolding the Ritual
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: is a different possession story that came out of the
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 2: nineteen twenties, so two different instances. So the beginning of
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: this trailer automatically was wrong and I got mad about it.
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: But it does I mean to me, it just looks like, hey,
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 2: have you seen the Exorcist? We hope you haven't, because
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: then you can watch this and it'll seem new to you.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: So it does have Dan Stevens, who I love. It's
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: got a good cast.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 2: It's got al Pacino in it.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the thing, I guess the thing because I I
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: think I've seen The Exorcist, but I don't remember a
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: lot of it. In the Exorcist were there were some
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: of the religious people saying, no, what this person needs
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: as a doctor? Yes, okay.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: The priest, the young priest who was called in to
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: first conduct an exorcism, doesn't believe, doesn't have a literal
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: belief in the devil like that, Like he says the devil,
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: the devil is symbolic, not an actual entity, and so
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: he thinks that the young girl needs to see the doctor.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 2: But the problem is that by that point the mother
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: has taken her daughter to so many doctors and specialists
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: like that's actually some of the scariest parts of the
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 2: Exorcist is the parts where she's seeing medical professionals because
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: it looks horrifying, and then the supernatural stuff is also horrifying.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: But I mean, I would argue the medical stuff is
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: harder for me to watch than the supernatural stuff. So
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: that does happen in the Exorcist. In this one again
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: it's it's like the old priest and the young priest,
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: and the old priest which was Max Fon Seedaw in
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: The Exorcist and is al Pacino in the Ritual is
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: the man of faith who says, no, this is a
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 2: real entity that we must wrestle with spiritually. We are
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 2: the guardians against the darkness. Although I do like what
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: one YouTube commenter said, like this made me laugh, so
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: I had to write it down. It's like his tagline was,
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 2: say a lot to my little crucifix.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: That is pretty funny, you know, it is. It is interesting.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: I listened to a lot of saw Bones, which is
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: justin McElroy and Sidney McRoy and Sydney is a family Chochester. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: And they talk a lot about medical history and stuff
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: like this that would happen, and surprisingly how late in life.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: It happened, you know, yeah, how relatively recent things like this.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: A lot of stuff like this is where you know
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: back in like let's all go all the way back
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: to medieval days where like you had a medical ailment
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: and they didn't know what it was, so it was
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: your humors, or it was spirits or you know, I'm
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: a person of faith, so I'm not going to discount spirits,
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: but a lot of it was just misunderstanding what was
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: happening with a person. So not being as familiar with
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: the Exorcist, the idea of hey, she needs a doctor
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: was interesting to me. It's obvious in the trailer later
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: that that is not what has been set up.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because there's no there's like like, there's not a
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 2: symp tom of the measles that includes being stuck against
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: the wall, right like like like being on the wall
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: like Spider Man.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, for sure, But I found that interesting. But
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: knowing that it was ripped off the Exorcist, it's much
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: less interesting. I'm sorry, Dan Stevens cannot just get me
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: to see that movie.
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: It comes out June sixth, But yeah, I I don't know.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: To me, it's just like, again, maybe it's just the
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 2: way the trailer was cut, but it looked to me
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: like like we're just retelling the story of the Exorcist,
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: but we we don't have as good of a cinematographer,
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 2: and I don't know it just nothing about this hit
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: me as being an interesting new take on a possession story.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 2: But that's Okay, we've got two more to talk about.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the next is Conjuring, The the Conjuring Last Rites.
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: I have not watched any of the Conjuring films. It
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: was interesting that I think, going from the Ritual to
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: the Conjuring back to back, the tone of the trailer
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: is so different that it almost felt like stepping into
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: the Conjuring world was stepping into a fairy tale.
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, The Conjuring takes a much more cinematic approach,
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: a much more horror movie approach to dealing with this,
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 2: whereas the Ritual is trying to take trying to achieve
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: a more realistic kind of approach. I don't think it
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: succeeds in that, but I agree, like the tone is
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 2: very different. So the characters in the Conjuring are based
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 2: off real people, the Warrens, But I personally find the
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: Warrens to be abhorrent because I think, in my opinion,
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 2: the Warrens were both con artists and scammers and hoaxers.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: They're both dead now, so.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: But I don't know that I didn't know it was.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: I thought it was a completely fictional story.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 2: Well I would argue it is.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean, like completely fictional.
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: Right, No, so they're based off real people who, like
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: if you've ever heard of a movie called the Amityville
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 2: Horror that is based off a case that the Warrens
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 2: were involved in that later became more or less exposed
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: as a total hoax, a fabrication. Yeah, anyway, like there's
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 2: a whole conjuring universe. This is the Annabelle universe, the
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 2: non universe, like all of that stuff emanates from this
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: same group of stories or whatever. And that's why I
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 2: get my dander up about this because if it were
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: just presented as a possession horror movie and didn't try
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 2: to say, like, oh, this is based off things that
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 2: really happened, I'd probably be more kind to it. But
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 2: knowing that these were scam artists who profited off the
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 2: misery of real human beings, it just makes me angry.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, but if you're into the conjuring yet another.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: One, yeah, September fifth, So yeah, I mean, and again
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: this is my opinion. I don't begrudge anyone who finds
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: these movies entertaining. Right, if you do, that's great, Like
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: you should indulge in the things that entertain you. Don't
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: let my hang ups factor into your decisions. It's just
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: my own personal response. And our last of the supernatural
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 2: horror trio is another trailer for Bring Her Back. In
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 2: this film, a couple of kids are taken in by
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 2: a foster parent named Laura, who has apparently lost her
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 2: own daughter how long ago. I don't know this trailer.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: This trailer confuses me. It looks intense, it looks intense
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: and scary, but I'm not sure if it's going to
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: ultimately turn into a supernatural horror or a psychological horror.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 2: Like I don't know how much of the stuff we
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 2: see is supposed to actually be happening in the world
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 2: of the movie versus imagined or hallucinated or whatever.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: That's that's interesting because I did watch the first one,
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: the first trailer for this. Sadly, I also saw this trailer,
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: not because you posted it, not because I was being
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: obstinate and thought I could handle it, but because when
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: I do my over the internet group watch with my
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: friends on Amazon Prime and I'm watching a show like Bondsman,
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: every once in a while, they're like, we're going to
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: give you a commercial because you're not paying for our
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: Uber Elite Prime subscription and that's the commercial they gave
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: me last night. So I was like, nope, no, nope, nope, nope.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I want to say the first trailer made it
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 2: look like it was more of a straightforward supernatural horror,
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: but this one, Laura, the foster mother, comes across as
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: being like almost unhinged.
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but my answer to that is, Okay, why not both?
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 2: Though I mean it may be it may very well
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 2: be both. Uh, it looks intense and I am very
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: curious about it. Like it, Laura appears to have a
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 2: desire to bring her daughter back, which is why I'm
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 2: guessing the title is bring her Back, and is potentially
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: maybe looking at the foster children as being maybe a
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: vessel or perhaps a sacrifice to bring her daughter back.
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: I don't know. The trailer does not make it clear,
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 2: but it definitely made me think, like, this looks like
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 2: a very interesting horror film, more so than either the
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 2: Ritual or The Conjuring did. Right.
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: So, and Sally Hawkins plays Laura, the main character. She's
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: a phenomenal actress.
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 2: She really is unsettling, and it's weird because she's not
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 2: being threatening, she's just being weird. But it's the kind
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 2: of weird, Like she's so expressive and there's something so
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: off about the way she holds herself. It's a phenomenal job, Like,
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 2: kudos to her. This one comes out May thirtieth, so
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 2: not long like two weeks last.
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: We have a trailer for Grand Theft Auto six, and
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: I've not played any of the other Grand Theft Auto
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: video games, but my impression from that is it does
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: they don't have a lot of heart. You're mainly just
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: heisting cars and shooting people and this this First of all,
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: the cinematics in the trailer for Grand Theft Auto six
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: were quite good. I was really impressed. And then secondly,
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: they made it seem like the story for this one
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: has heart.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, arguably at least elements of some of the
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 2: stories of the previous ones have heart too, not all
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 2: of them. Like Grand Theft Auto Vice City, which was
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 2: based off the Grand Theft Auto three Engine was, you know,
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 2: really just a total ripoff of Scarface. It's really what
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 2: it was. Like. It's hard to argue against that. There's
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 2: even a big set piece that's essentially the machine gun
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 2: scene from Scarface. But like Grand Theft Auto four had
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: some heart to it, Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, Grand
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 2: Theft Auto five. They all had elements of that, but
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 2: they also like none of the protagonists were purely None
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 2: of the protagonists were completely likable, some of them were
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 2: partially likable, some of them were detestable. This one, I
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 2: want to say, the people who appear to be the protagonist,
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 2: Lucia and Jace Jason, they seem like like people you
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 2: want to pull for, Like, yeah, they're on the wrong
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 2: side of the law. They're essentially petty criminals who have
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 2: apparently each been to jail at least once, but you
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 2: feel like they're really just trying to make a go
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 2: of it.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I do get that feeling from it. I'm gonna
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: admit to my horribleness and might lose a little bit
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: of my video game. Geek cred. I didn't know there
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: were protagonist or stories in the previous Grand Theft autos.
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: I thought they were just, hey, let's do crimes, sandboxes
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: and different locations.
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 2: Really, starting with Grand Theft Auto three, really there's more
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 2: of a story. I mean argue, you could argue that
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 2: the first two had stories to them too, but I
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 2: think three was where the cinematic element of Grand Theft
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 2: Auto started to come in, and so some of those
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 2: are really good stories, like I love Grand Theft Auto
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 2: Vice City, but it's not a compelling story. It's just fun.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 2: I think this looks like a compelling story. It's back
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 2: in Vice City, which is a stand in for Miami.
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 2: It also looks like you get to go to the
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 2: Everglades and there's one location where I swear I'm like,
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 2: oh my gosh, did they put Key West in this?
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 2: Because if they did, that's where I'm going. And I'm
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 2: just gonna live in Key West. I'm not gonna even
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 2: do crime. I'm just gonna be a beach bum burnout
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 2: on Key West.
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: Legit legit option. Look in Balder's Gate three, you can
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 1: just set up your camp and just stay in your
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: camp and.
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just just chat with characters until they stop talking
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 2: to you.
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: Feed everybody alcohol and so that every after every long
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 1: rest they just wake up drunk.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 2: I did not know you could do that.
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, that's all you get in your long rest.
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 1: Everybody has a hangover.
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 2: It's something something I'm gonna have to try after we've
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 2: done with this episode. But yeah, I think it looks good.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 2: We do know now. The release date is not until
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 2: May six six, so there was hopes that this was
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 2: going to get released this year. But honestly, I know
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 2: Ariel and I have said this before, but I would
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 2: rather a game go through delays and release, you know,
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 2: in better shape, than to release at some predetermined, you know,
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 2: arbitrary deadline, but be unplayable.
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: Definitely, definitely for sure. And hey, in a year. It'll
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: be about a year, so at least it's not two.
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: But hey, that is the end of our stories. It's
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: been a long episode, of course, it is. It always is,
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: but especially when we miss a week. So let's bring
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: her home, Jonathan, how do people try to reach you?
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 2: All Right, So you're gonna take a trip down to
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 2: Key West, Florida. You're gonna go to Hemingway's house, and
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 2: you're gonna look at all the little polydactyl cats. Those
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 2: are cats that have more toes than they're supposed to have.
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 2: And you're gonna look for one that's got seven toes
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 2: on the right front paw and six toes on the
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 2: left front paw. It's gonna have a little gray cat
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 2: with a black patch over one eye, like patch of fur,
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 2: not an eye patch. They do have another one that
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 2: has an eye patch, but he's also a pirate, so
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 2: don't don't bother that cat. So you want to go
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 2: out to this gray cat with a black patch, and
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 2: you want to bend down so that you're on eye
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 2: level with this cat. Don't get too close because sometimes
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 2: these cats do well, they'll swipe at you. But get
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 2: out eye level, look that cat in the eyes and say, Jonathan,
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 2: is that you? And then you'll hear me right behind
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 2: you saying no, dummy, I'm not a cat, and you
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 2: can turn around and ask me your question. And then
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 2: after that we'll go to Blue Heaven, which is an
• 1:25:18
