  Speaker 1: around us and how very exciting we are about them.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: I am Ariel Castin and with me as always is
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: the super cool, patient, wonderful, amazing Jonathan Streetman.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: I am down Dobe do down down the Witch's Road.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: I was just combining a couple of songs there. Hey, Ariel,
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Hey Jonathan, I got a question for you.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: You know this is going to turn out poorly.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: I know because I refuse to share it with you
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: ahead of time. But this is what happens when I
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: listened to old episodes and I'm like, oh, that was
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: a good idea. Why did I stop doing that this?
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: And yes, this coffee is gonna make me have to
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: pee before we're done recording. And no, I'm not gonna
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: or your.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Question or there will be a cut sometime in this
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: episode where like, okay, I'll put in some like let's
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: all go to the lobby music or something.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: I will be like Ryan Reynolds and welcome to Wrexham,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: where he forgets to turn off his microphone.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: That will be yeah, oh my gosh, aerel. I can
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: tell you stories how many times I've had to wear
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: like a love mic on a set and think, did
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: I turn that switch off? It's I can't look now
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: because I'm busy, but.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure for sure.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Anyway, So no, your question is it is it is
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: trick or treating time you are a child and you
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: are trick and or treating, what is your favorite candy
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: to receive when you were trick or treating at Halloween?
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: What was the thing when you looked in your bag
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: you were like, that's that's like King of the Hill.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: That's the best of the best.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Gosh, it's been so long since I've tricker treated.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Longer for me than for you.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: For sure, for sure. Uh So like it changes yearly.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Right, I think, Okay, that's that's legit.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: And like I can look back and be like, oh man,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I used to love these, but this was the real
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: the bomb. Like you get a little mini Charleston chew
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: and you stick it in the freezer and that is legit.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: But that wasn't my favorite as a kid. My favorite
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: as a kid was probably a Reese's peanut butter cup
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: nice or butter fingers or butter fingers I like. I
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: like the peanut chocolate. I still like the peanut chocolate combo,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: but now it switches out with I hated mounds and
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: almond Joys and now I love them, so it switches
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: out with that, with a York peppermint patty, and with
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: like a heath bar.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Wow, you have like named all the ones that are
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: my favorites too. The only the only one that I
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: would add that you did not include because I also
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: like the chocolate, peanut, butter, chocolate, coconut and chocolate TOAs combos.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I love those, and none of those are so chewy
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: that they'll like suck the fillings out of your teeth,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: So I like those too. Butterfinger can get close. Actually,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Butterfingers probably the toughest.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: One, especially if it's older.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: But I love I mean, butterfinger used to be my
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: favorite candy bar when I was a kid. But the
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: other one that I liked was not chocolate at all.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: It was sweet tarts. Sweet tarts were because I liked
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: sour candies. But you know, when I was a kid,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: we didn't have like sour patch kids or anything. Those
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: weren't a thing yet. Heck, we didn't even have like
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: the the Warheads sour candies, yet so sweet tarts were
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: kind of where the the sour candy stuff was and
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: I really liked those, but that was also my go
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: to for movie theater snacks for trick or treating. Reese's
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: peanut buttercups probably top notch, Butterfinger right there with them.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: So yeah, like all the ones you named, York peppermint
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: patty mounds, I prefer mounds to almond Joy because of
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: that is crazy about nuts in my candy. But I
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: still was happy to get an almond Joy.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, I also like peanut m and ms.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, peanut Eminem's are good too, Yeah.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: But I don't like peanut butter eminem's and I do
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: not like Reese's pieces.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: You never have liked same, and I got them. I
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: got them for a while because there was this little
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: movie that came out and I'm actually probably gonna mention
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: the same little movie later in this episode, because one
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: of the trailers we watched essentially is this little movie
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: but with a little forest creature as opposed to an alien,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: and that movie is ET. And yeah, Reese's pieces for
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: a while, I was eating those because of ET. But
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: I don't think I ever really liked them, and I
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: think it's because the peanut butter in those doesn't really
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: taste like peanut butter.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Well it doesn't because they don't burn it. We talked
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: about this on Business on the Brink. If you, if
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: anybody's listening who has listened to that show, go back
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: and find the old Reese's episode. The thing that makes
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: it rece Peace butter Cup Peanut Butter so good is
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: that they almost burnt the peanuts and then everybody loved
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: it and they had to keep doing it.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So great answers, Aeriel, great answers.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: That wasn't too bad.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: It wasn't. And I still like Smarty. I like, I
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: like a lot of candy. There was a period of
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: time when I was young where I like, if I
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: went into a candy store, I'd get a sugar Daddy, though.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Like the yeah you would no, You'd be like, hey there, mister,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: would you like to buy me candy?
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: The lollipop with like the sugar brown sugar oh on it?
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: But now I can't stand those. But I also used
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: to like Yahoo, and I don't like Yahoo anymore. The
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: chocolate tasting drink you.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Who you who? Not Yahoo. Yahoo was a search engine
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: that's different.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I also don't care for that anymore. I loved it
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: for a time, but it keeps accidentally making itself my
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: default because of my antivirus.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: I want to say this though, this is this is
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: going down a rabbit hole, and I apologize, but it
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: just what you said sparked something in my head, which
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: is that I have always wanted to like moon pies
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: because they look like they should be delicious, but they
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: barely taste of anything.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Have you tried the different flavors?
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: No, I've only tried the regular moon pie, and you
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: know moon pie and RC cola that's like the go
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: to Southern snack combo. And I don't know. I was
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: just it never hit me. So was there a particular
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: moonpie flavor that you would you would recommend?
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, like I like moon pies pretty well,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: You're right, they don't have They don't pack a whole
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: lot of flavor, A lot of it is a textural thing.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: But I have friends who don't like chocolate, but they
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: swear by the caramel or the banana moon pies.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Okay, I would try the caramel, but banana. I'm weird
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: about banana anyway. Like I'm not a big fan of
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: banana flavor, even to the point of like fresh bananas,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: I would much I would much prefer a plantain to
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: a banana, whereas my partner is the opposite.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I like bananas. They have to still be like they
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: just have to be on that verge of like unripe
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: to ripe, where they're still a little green, so that
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: they're tart the moment they get over ripe. I hate them,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: but I love Yeah, I love myself A good a
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: good plantain, plantchain, chips, fried plantains, all of it.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Tostoneses. We should not record this around lunchtime.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: No, No, there's a really good Cuban restaurant near me.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Now now I want to.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Go, Okay, I also want to go. We'll go after
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: you'll go, and then I'll be there in spirit because
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: I'm too far away. All right, Well, let's let's talk
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: about stuff that we have seen since the last time
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: we recorded. Uh. For me, that's easy because it's only
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: two things that I can think of, which is one
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: of them being Agatha all along, which we both have
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: continued watching. And I'll ask you more about your opinions
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: on that when we get to you, so I'll be
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: in a second. The other was I mentioned this in
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: the episode from Last Time, our uber super Duper long
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: episode where it was two episodes and one I saw
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: long Legs. So I watched that with our friend of
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: the show, Shay Lee, and it was it had a
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: much stronger effect on her than it had on me.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: I liked it. I thought it was a very well
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: made movie. I thought it was very creepy, but I wasn't.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: I wasn't as as scared as she was. But I
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: do think it was well worth watching.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Nice. Nice. I don't know if I could do that one.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: It's it's I mean, it is a very like it
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: is a film that deals with Satanism, although it doesn't
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: go into super deep detail on that end, but that
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: is like the throughput for the antagonist, so for people
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: who have any issues where the storyline involves like Satanists
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: or something, and that's kind of a trigger point for Shay.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, she was brought up Catholic and so like
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: movies that deal with more so movies that deal with
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: demonic possession really are kind of touch and go for her.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: But this one like I said, it just it hit
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: her pretty effectively. I thought that Nicholas Cage did a
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: fantastic job being very unsettling in that movie.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Y'all. You need to watch Color out of Space. I do.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: That's been on my list forever and I haven't seen
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: it yet.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: So I we bought it for a friend for his
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: birthday and we all watched it together. I even donned
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: my Nicholas Cage pants have his face all over them.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: They're kind of creepy and they look very inappropriate if
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: you just look quickly, because you're wearing faces all over
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: your lower half. But regardless, I think he might have
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: left the DVD here, so I might have it. I
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: could just load it to you.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: I think it's I'm pretty sure it's on multiple streaming
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: platforms because I've seen it. It's either on Amazon or Netflix.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: I've seen. I've seen the the little thumbnail. I just
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: have never I need to make the time to watch it.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: It's I mean, it is really disturbing. Some of it
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: is very very gross, because of course it's love craft,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: but it's it is a masterclass in Nick Cage just
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: committing to a role. So and I was very just
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: concerning So.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: What have you seen since the last time?
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Uh? I watched? Did I watch? I watched Last by Hotel.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: I talked about it before, but I actually watched it
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: this week at least an episode. It's fun. It's got
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: a really clever like when someone gets eliminated what they
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: do is fun, and the challenges have kept me kind
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: of surprised at the beginning of it. I'm not super
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: into it. I love Titus Burgess. He is super hamming
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: up his role as the host slash hotel manager, which
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: for me, I'm like, good for you to just fully
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: committing to this bit. And for Tony it kind of
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: throws it turns him off a little bit to the show.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: A little too over the top.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: It's a little too over the top. But watching people
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: watching the actual cooking is a lot of fun. I
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: was speaking of cooking. I also watched the first episode
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: of Gastronauts, which is the dropout television cooking show where
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: there's a panel of three comedians and a challenge. I
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: guess is what you call a group of three chefs
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: competing for a prize and a challenge of three chefs,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: and each comedian gives the chefs a challenge, so you know,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: tune out for fifteen seconds if you don't want a
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: spoiler for Gastronauts. The first challenge was make the heaviest food.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: The second challenge was make bread and butter but fancy,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: and then the third challenge was make food I can
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: play with and then eat, So you know they are
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: they aren't challenges to make the best food, although the
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: chefs do try to make the best food within the challenge,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: and they did a pretty good job. But it is
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: very comedy based. There's better than I expected.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: It's prompts that are not typically associated with making food, right, Like,
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: it's like, because you're talking about elements that are associated
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: with food, but you don't typically seek out food specifically
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: to fulfill whatever criteria happened to be presented.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so like the make food that I can play
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: with and then eat. Everybody tried to make food action
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: figures or tableaus or whatever, but that means the food
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: isn't going to be pretty. It's not like you're making
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: a gourmet dish implating it to be beautiful. You're putting
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: together small or cheese stick people. So gotcha, Now you
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: can make them really tasty.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: But I look forward to watching I've seen little clips
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: because it started to make the rounds on social media already.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: I mean drop Out, Like a lot of Dropouts content
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: almost feels custom made to be chopped up and served
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: up in those short formats, whether it's reels or tiktoks
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: or whatever. So I enjoyed the bits I saw. They
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: seemed pretty a little low key actually for Dropout, like,
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: it wasn't as as loud and zany as a lot
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: of Dropout stuff typically is. But then again, it was
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: a tiny little excerpt, so I don't know if the
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: rest of it is a little crazy.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: It is definitely crazier. It is maybe more low key show.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: It's not like Game Changer level insanity, right, but it's
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: still got a lot of zaniness in it. Other than that,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: I'm still working my way through Welcome to Wrexham, which
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: I didn't expect to like, but I've really enjoyed. I
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: don't even like football, but I guess when you edit
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: it down to its most exciting points, it's quite palatable.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: And then I also watched Agatha all along and this
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: I think was the second strongest episode.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Interesting. I've seen some people complain about the most recent
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: episode because it's it's a flashback episode, like most of
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: the episode is a flashback for one of the characters,
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: and so there were some people who were who felt
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: that it was it was pulling a WandaVision in that
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: just as the story is really picking up, it suddenly
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: derails and does a flashback. But I'm like, I think
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: that's fine. I don't have an issue with it. I
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: didn't have an issue with it with WandaVision either, so
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: to me that that wasn't a thing that bothered me.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it didn't bother me either. I could see how
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: like WandaVision, definitely did change tone at a certain point
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: and went to a different part of the story, but
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: it was important to move the overarching plot along, and
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: I was fine with it, even though I super loved
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: the initial concept of WandaVision and I love how it ended.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: I love almost everything about how it ended too, But
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: this one, again, I think it gave us new impertinent information.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: It filled in some gaps. And so it was a
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: flashback episode, so we had seen kind of the scenes
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: that had happened before, but we were seeing them from
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: a different perspective, and I thought they did that incredibly well,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: and I was tickled pink about it.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: That part where there's the overlap between the flashback episode
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: and the first episode of Agatha All Along was probably
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: the most enjoyable bit. There are some things that are
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, none of it was super surprising, Like a
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: lot of it was just confirming people's theories about certain
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: characters in the series. I'm dancing around it because I
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: don't want to spoil anything, but the one of the
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: potential consequences of that is one I find really troubling.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: But I'll talk to you about that off, Mike, because
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: there's no way to talk about it that's not a spoiler.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's fine. I do want to hear about
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: it though. There was also a cameo in the episode
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: that just tickled me.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah. A character from Wanda Vision has a cameo.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah in the episode.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: In the overlap portion. Did you read the shirt that
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Agatha was wearing.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: You know what's funny is that I didn't notice it
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: when the episode was playing, but then I found out
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: about it afterward when I was reading an article and
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: I thought, how did I miss this? That's incredible.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: It was hilarious. It was hilarious. Honestly, I think the
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: flashback from a different perspective and kind of filling, taking
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: some time to fill in the mystery a little bit,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: even though there are potentially really disturbing side effects of
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: the storyline they're telling. I think it's more clever than
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: using the Witch's Road Song as a mcguffin every episode.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: So it only was.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Used as a as a part of the trial in
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: one episode.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: But we had to listen to them sing the entire
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: song more than once. I don't mind it popping up
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: here and there. I think that's cool, Like you know,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: like in Lost, when the numbers keep showing up. I
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: think it's cool to keep alluding to it and keep
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: having it pop up. But for it to be so
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: front and forward that close together, I think just I
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: was like, I just watched this.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: I guess it's just we should just be lucky that
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: the Salem seven didn't have to sing it to get
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: in there.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: That's true. I did watch a TikTok video with the
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: actors who play the Salem seven. Did you know each
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Salem seven character is based off a different animal?
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, I didn't. Raven and Fox and a Locust
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: and a snake. Yeah, because that's connected to their comic
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: book origins. Even though the version and Agatha all along
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: and the version of the comics are different, they're not
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: they don't have the same origin because in the comics,
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: the Salem Seven are Agatha's grandchildren.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I have not read any any of those comics,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: to be quite honest, so.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Neither of I. But I've watched a lot of New
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: Rock Stars where they break down the episode. They're like
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: eighty three easter eggs in episode four, and I'm like,
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: how is that even possible? All right, let's watch.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: But I also thought that Joe Locke, who is the
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: actor he plays Teen, don't worry. I knew I was.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: I was there with you. I appreciate you trying to
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: keep me from spoiling I think. But yeah, the actor
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: who plays Teen, I think that the last couple of
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: episodes have really given him a chance to truly shine
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: his versatility there. I don't know anyhow, Joe Locke's of
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: versatility is really impressive.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I'm enjoying where it's going. I look forward
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: to seeing the rest of the story play out. And yeah,
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: was there anything else that you saw that you wanted
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: to talk about shall we move to thirty Seconds or less?
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: The second season of Very Important People, which is another
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: dropout show how to trailer, and they are getting Bobby moynihan,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Echo Kellam who played Mister Terrific and Arrow and Nicole
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Byers this year.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: So if you're not familiar with that series, it has
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: it's a mess comedians and improvisers taking on the role
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: of a character that they create on the spot based
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: off costumes and makeup that has been applied to them.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: And then they got them being able to look at
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: it until it's done.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just revealed to them. Once it's all been applied,
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: they get to see themselves. Then they have to create
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: a character based upon that appearance, and then they go
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: on like an interview show and they have to answer,
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: they have to be interviewed, and all the episodes are ridiculous.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Some of them are transcendently funny.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Yes, and some of them annoy me to no end,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: But that's improv for you.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a mixed bag.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: It's a mixed bag. That's it.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Okay, Well, then let's segue on over to thirty seconds
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: or less.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Sure. Oh, I also watched the latest Fox Maka it
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: continues to be good. Okay, uh okay, I'm first, hey,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: do do do do do? Uh? That's not a Porky
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Pig noise, but this next story is about Porky Pig.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: First story, Lord Almighty, We're getting a Looney Tunes movie
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five, The Day the Earth Blew Up.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: It features Daffy Duck and Porky Pig, and apparently he's
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: been getting really good reviews. It was originally I think,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: supposed to be the least for streaming it, but is
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: now getting a theater release, which is surprising for multiple reasons,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: one being that Looney Tunes still and two just being
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: that Max's track record for that lately has not been great.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: So I guess that is good news.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, especially since the Wily Coyote film got shelved right
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: like it was supposed to get released, and they got
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: it was turned into at text right off, and no
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: one ever gets to see it. Well, we have known
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: that Disney has been working on both a new Freaky
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: Friday sequel that's titled, of course, Freakier Friday, as well
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: as a live action adaptation of Leelo and Stitch, but
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: now we also know when those movies are scheduled to
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: hit theaters. Leelo and Stitch will face off against Tom
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: Cruise's Mission Impossible eight on May twenty twenty five, and
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Freakier Friday is plated for August eighth, twenty twenty five,
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: right up against Leonardo DiCaprio's film The Battle of Backton Cross.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: I feel like those have completely different audiences, so it
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: should be fine.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's culture programming.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, speaking of things that are getting new life like
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: freak Here Friday and Looty Tunes, Amazon is picking their
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: God of War series back up, basically because Fallout was
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: so popular. But they are changing who's working on it,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: and they're kind of giving it like a working on
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: a fresh take and trying to make it a new
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: thing and not just redo the previous thing that they
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: were working on, Which means that Rafae Jenkins, who is
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: the executive producer for Wheel of Time, as well as
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Mark Ferguson Hawk Otsby, who are the executive producers for
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Children of Men and Iron Man, are no longer involved
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: with the project. I am excited. I know Dad of
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: War is a really popular story and watching my husband
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: play it has been a lot of fun. With how
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: well they did fall Out, I suspect that they could
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: do a really good job of it. And honestly, even
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: though I've watched all of Wheel of Time thus far,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: and I also watched Children of Men once, those didn't
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: strike me as so good. So I'm glad if someone
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: else is working on it, because it means it's a
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: better chance of me liking it well.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: The Peacocks series poker Face introduced us to human BS
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: detector Charlie Kel, who has the absolute worst luck. Wherever
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: she shows up, someone dies and then she's left to
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: figure out what happened. Season two of the series is
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: now in production, and a bunch of famous folks are
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: scheduled to guest star this season, including Giancarlo Esposito, Katie Holmes,
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: Coopmeil Nan, Johnny and John mulaney, among others. And my
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: advice to those folks is don't become Charlie's friend, because
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: that's a death sentence.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Charlie being the main character. That's great news. I'm glad
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: poker Face is getting another season for sure. Edgar Wright
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: is redoing The Running Man, which is a Stephen King
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: novel about a dude who has to survive like a
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: certain number of days being hunted by like FBI assassins
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: as a part of a game show to entertain the
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: general populace. Josh Brolin is going to be starring in it,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: and Glenn Powell is also in it, so yeah, that's
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: a thing.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: Lee Pace is also going to be in it. Oh Isy,
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah that was That was another announcement that was done
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: just before we went to record. But Lee Pace has
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: has joined the cast. Yeah, it's a It was written
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: under the pen name Richard Bachman, so it was one
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: of the Bachman novels, and really it's a novella, very
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: very very different from the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie that eventually
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: came out. The two have homeless, almost no commonality.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Honestly, I'm much happier with Edgar Wright taking a stab
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: at it, even though it's been done before. Then the freakin'
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: reality show game show they tried to do a while ago.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: That just rubbed me the wrong way.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: Really bad idea, like that's just a recipe for people
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: to get hurt. Okay, yes, Well. Tom Holland revealed that
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: he and Zendaiah recently read over a draft script for
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Spider Man four, and that while the film still needs work,
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: he thought it was a fitting and exciting continuation of
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: Spider Man's story. Holland has said he would be happy
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: to return to web Slinging as long as the story
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: is right, but that it's always a challenge fitting a
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: narrative into the larger unfolding MCU storyline, and that makes sense.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: Here's hoping we get some Spidery action in the Avengers
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: films as well.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: That would be cool. CBS is working on a show
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: that I'm excited about, which means I might have to
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: keep paramount plus longer. Good jobs, CBS. It is a
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: show called Watson, starring Morris Chetnut, Chestnut and Chetnut, and
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: it comes out on the twenty sixth of January. It's
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: about Watson from Sherlock Holmes after Sherlock Holmes gets killed
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: by Moriarty and he goes back to his medical practice
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: and helps people, but then still has to kind of
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: battle Moriarty. I find that super interesting and I'm very
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: excited about it.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: It's a weird twist because usually it's Moriarty who stays
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: dead and Holmes who comes back. Well, hey, do you
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: have kids who are too young for the Marvel movies,
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: but you still want to indoctrinate them into the world
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: of superhero so they can grow up to be good
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: little capitalist consumers. Or great news because Disney has greenlit
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: a series for Disney Junior called Iron Man and his
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: Awesome Friends. It's for preschoolers. It's set to have Iron Man,
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: iron Heart, and Iron Hulk team up and have happy
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: adventures together while locking kids into a lifetime of fandom.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: I don't hate it.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: Ah.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Lastly, yes, lastly, we got a trailer for Subnatica too.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: I am I'm going to be completely honest here. I
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: confused it with Dave the Diver when I put it
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: into our lineup, knowing that Jonathan and my husband are
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: both a fan of that game. However, Subnatica is an
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: underwater survival game. It's beautiful. Subnatica two looks really fun
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: and really scary and really beautiful all at the same time.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: I think I have Subnautica one on my medic Quest
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: two and I get motion sick. I can't even get
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: out of the starting zone because I keep getting motions sick.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I haven't played Subnatica. I've seen videos of people
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: playing it and it looks great. I just have never
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: played that game, but I am continuing to play Dave
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: the Diver, and in fact, I ended up getting into
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: some I think some DLC content when I was playing
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: last night, because I don't remember experiencing it the first
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: time I was playing through because I had played through
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: the whole main storyline previously. But the game continues even
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: after you complete the storyline, you can keep playing. I
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: just stopped because I'd pretty much done everything you can
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: do in the game, and then last night something happened
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: where I was like, I don't remember that. I mean,
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: maybe it happened and I just don't remember it. That's
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: entirely possible too, But I feel like I finally encountered
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: some DLC stuff.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Nice. Nice, that's really cool. Sub Natica too, looks pretty cool.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: I'm excited to maybe try it. I'm gonna take some
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: dramamine and try to play some Natica one again.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: I have real issues with VR games like that too,
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: Like if my body doesn't feel the motion that my
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: brain thinks I should be feeling, then my stomach's like, yeah,
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know what's happening, but everybody's got to leave
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: So part of the problem is and I get motion
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: stick at like playing co Op Portal. I get motion
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: stick playing Portal. Let me just say that Portal too.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: But we bought it on Steam to play on our
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: VR headset, and it was really slow. So there are
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: some like mods you can add to it to make
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: movement quicker, but that sometimes hurts when you're also simulating
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: being on.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: The water, I would imagine, so well.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: No problem with Beat Saber whatsoever.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: That's great, Like, yeah, I for me, VR is just
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: one of those things where everything has to work just
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: right or else I will get motion sick. And I
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: used to be like I was one of those kind
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: of kids who almost never got motion sickness unless I
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: insisted on reading in the back of the car, in
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: which case, if I did that and I wasn't careful
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: and I saw too much motion out of my peripheral vision,
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: I'd be like, uh oh, I don't feel so good.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: But yeah, these days now, like if I don't get seasick,
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: but any other type of motion sickness can definitely hit
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: me hard.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm getting motionstick just thinking about it.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: Well, let's change the subject and talk about a whole
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: bunch of different trailers and stuff that we saw that
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: we watched for this week's episode, Starting with a trailer
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: for a film that's an adaptation of a graphic novel
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: that came out in twenty eighteen. It's called The Electric State.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: I had missed that it was a graphic novel. Yeah,
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: this story, it's done by the Russo brothers and it
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: tracks a young woman as she tries to find her
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: brother who kind of disappeared during the sentient robot uprising.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: And now the robots are set in theory, sequestered to
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: like their own part parcel of land to live on,
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: and both the robots and humanity are kind of suffering.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: And it's a look on what makes you human. We
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: talked about it a little bit in our giant, humongous
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: blowout Super Sale episode.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the trailer looks great. Like it looks it's just
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: really pretty like it's really well done in that sense.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: The robot design is all over the place, very weird.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: I want to say, there was a robot mister Peanut
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: in there. It's set in the mid nineties, by the way,
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: it's an alternate mid nineties when the story takes place
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: and the description I read because I have not read
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: the graphic novel, I've only read about it. But the
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: description I read was very vague as to the nature
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: of the war that had happened. It's just that war
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: has happened in the past. The world is kind of
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: in recovery after this massive conflict. And as Ariel said,
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: the story mostly follows this young woman played by Millie
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Bobby Brown in this film on the on the lookout
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: for her long lost brother, and Chris Pratt decides to
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: help her and probably be a smart ass about it.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Probably it looked good. Through most of the trailer, you
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: don't get to hear the robots speak. They do speak
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: towards the end, and that really surprised me, and I
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: kind of laughed really hard.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's some great there's some great actors attached to this,
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: and I imagine a lot of them are providing voices
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: for the robots. Next up is the thing I mentioned
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: at the beginning of the episode, or at least I
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: was alluding to it, the Legend of Ochi, which to
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: me is e t but with Woodland cryptid instead of alien.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it gave me very strong et vibes.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, also like this this cryptid doesn't exist thing. We
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: also had another one between Et and ledgend Ofvochi. We
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: talked about, obviously Chupa which I never watched, about the Chupacabra.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember. We talked about that.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: This one looks cute. It's got a heck of a cast. Interestingly,
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: then Wolfhart is in it, but he is not the
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: lead character, which is lovely.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a supporting character in this one.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And it's it's kind of like a this this
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: girl befriends a baby werewolf esque type creature, except it's
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: not a were wolf. It just it's a hairy faint.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, kind of like if you were to cross a
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: were wolf in Bigfoot.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. And everybody else, like her dad who or
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: caretaker who is William Dafoe and such, think that they're
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: dangerous and that she can't help it, and she tries
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: to rescue it and bring it to its family. And
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: it looks heartwarming, and it looks like it would ping
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: my anxieties overrigin hard.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: Because if your thing about animal endangerment.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and animals being sad and.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I saw this and I thought Yeah,
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: there's certain movies that I feel like this falls into
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: that category, et being a big one, but also iron giant,
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: like that kind of thing small kid befriends a thing
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: that people view as either dangerous or they want to
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: be able to study it. That's a pretty common trope
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: in you know, family friendly science fiction stuff, So this
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: feels like it falls right into that category. Not saying
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: that it's not going to be good or that's not
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: going to have new things to say, I just feel
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: like it's similar enough where I'm getting those vibes.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, And if King Kong taught me anything, it's
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: that it's going to end up in a horribly depressing way.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: So well probably, I don't think it's going to end
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: up in a Harry and the Henderson's kind of way,
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: where I mean the girl heard her quest really is
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: to return the animal to where it belongs. So assuming
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: everything does work out, and I imagine it will, because
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: I don't think this is going to be a dark,
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: family friendly sci fi film. But assuming everything works out,
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: then that by nature means they have to separate at
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: the end, So it's like having to say goodbye to
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: your darling dog.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: And heartbreaking the heart breaking.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: No, that's and that's what Et was, and that's what
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: The Iron Giant was, and that's why I think it's
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: going to fall into that same category.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: I never watched Iron Giant because I was afraid of it.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: Iron Giant is so good, It is such a great
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: but it is sad. I'm not gonna lie, it's a
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: sad movie. But it is like you'll never hear the
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: name Superman the same way again. Ever interesting, it's amazing.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: I like, I I know it is, I've heard the accolades.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: I just the other option is there are two other
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: options of the way Legend of Ohi could end. She
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: can leave her new best friend that she's basically surrogate mothered.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: Her family is tracking her, so they could kill all
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: of the Ochi's.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: I don't think that's gonna happen.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: Or she could leave her family and go live with
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: the Ochi's, which is the happiest option, but not the
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: one I think that's gonna happen.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: She just gets real hairy at the end and just
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: becomes part of their group.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: She's like like Mowgli if the humans never if he
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: never encountered human society.
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: Well, I thought the trailer. The trailer looked good, but
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: it also, like I said, it was striking me as
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: very familiar. And maybe it turns out that all of
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: my guesses are wrong, which would be cool. But yeah,
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: it looks it's a good trailer. You should definitely go
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: check it out if you haven't seen it. We also
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: got a final trailer, or at least a new trailer
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: full trailer, for the second season of Arcane, and when
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: we talked about the teaser, I mentioned that I thought
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: the art style was really really compelling, and that's still
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: the case. Like this trailer. I don't know. I don't
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: know what's going on even a little bit because I
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: never watched the first season and I didn't play the game.
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: I have no clue what's happening. But holy cow, it
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: looks good.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I did watch the first season, and I can't
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: tell you a whole lot of what's going on in
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: the trailer. And it's frustrating because I also played the game,
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, I should know all of these Easter
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: eggs that I can tell are Easter eggs, but I
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: don't remember. It's been too long. But it does look pretty.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: It looks like it's going to be full of action,
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: and yeah, I will end up watching the second season.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: I look forward to seeing how they resolve this.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: I was just I was so impressed by that art style,
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: Like it's been a while since I've seen footage from
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: an animated film where the art style made that big
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: of an impression on me, and it just looks so pretty.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: Like again, I don't know, I don't I don't have
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: any idea what's happening or who these people are or
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: what their motivations are or what the threats are, but
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: good golly, that art looks great.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: It is I mean, very basic story is that v V,
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: who is the girl with the short pink hair, and
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: her sister who has the little pale with the long,
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: long blue braid, got separated as older children, and her
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: sister got taken in by a bad guy, and it's
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: them dealing with the aftermath of this in this world
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: that is fighting on whether it should accept the I
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: don't know if it's I don't remember if it's called
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: the arcane, but like basically this magical material that can
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: do all this kind of really weird stuff that they
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: don't trust. So that's that's it.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: That's the that's it in nutshell? Huh Yep, Well, I definitely,
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: I definitely feel like I definitely feel like I should
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: check it out because, like I said, I just and
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: I should watch it on my actual television as opposed
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: to my computer, because it was just so impressive visually
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: that I would hope the the writing and the performances
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: measure up to all the rest of it, because like, yeah,
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: the art was just gorgeous.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: I'll be interested to see what you think. Have you
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: done any more New Girl or did you give up
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: on it?
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: I haven't watched any New Girl yet. I haven't. Oh,
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: I haven't given up because I haven't started.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: I thought you watched some of it because you didn't
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: like one of the characters.
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: No, no, I was joke. I was joking about it
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: in a recent episode. But I and watched any of it,
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: and it's not the characters that I have an issue with.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: It's the actress.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, okay. I thought, so there is a character who,
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: like I could have sworn it sounded like you watched
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: it last week or the week before, there is a
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: character who's who is problematic and who grows to be
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: less problematic as time comes on.
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: You mentioned that when we talked about it, but I
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: had not seen it yet. You did mention that there
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: was such a You said there was a character I
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: was not going to like, but that the character gets better.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: But but that character is not played.
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the problem is that I have an issue
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: with the actor, not the characters. Do you?
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: But do you have an issue with the actor or
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: do you have an issue with the actor based on
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: a movie you didn't like.
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: It's mostly based off of the things I've seen that
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: actor in and that I was not impressed. I was
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: not impressed by that actor's performance, and in fact found
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: it to be off putting. But to be fair, that's
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: a couple of performances. It doesn't mean that that's the
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: totality of what she is capable of doing. But the
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: stuff I saw was pretty darn bad. I mean to
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: be here like ten tin Man was so bad, it's amazing.
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: I still like Allan comming. That's how bad ten Man was.
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: I agree, But also, this is nothing like that.
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: I would imagine not a New Girl. A New Girl
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: was like ten Man. I'd be like, how the heck
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: did this get made?
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: I'm choking on my own spit laughing at.
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: That, just like good lord, Like let's let's take let's
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: take ten Man, a failed mini series on sci fi
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: and turn it into a sitcom where where Dorothy moves
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: next door.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: It's better than tin Man. It's better than she was
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: in Elf.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: It would have to be. Those are the two things
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: I can think.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: Of that I've seen. So it's so much, so much better.
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: But I think it's just that she gave off such
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: like you know, there's certain actors where it's not that
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: they play the same character over and over, but there
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: are certain mannerisms those actors have that find their way
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: into everything they do. So for me, like Winona Writer
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: is a good example, Jenna Ortega is a good example.
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: Like there are actors who they can do very different parts,
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: but there's certain things that are just kind of always
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: going to find their way into their performances. For Zoey Deschanel,
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: I worry that some of it is that kind of
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: disaffected hipsterism that I find so tiresome.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: So she I mean, she is quirky, She's much like
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: Zoey Deschanel. Her character and New Girl is very tweet,
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: but she is not at all disaffected.
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: She is a.
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: Very enthusiastic, optimistic, somewhat naive, child like elementary school teacher.
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, I will get a round to it, like it'll happen.
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: I will. I probably here, I'm going to make a
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: promise here and now, in front of you and our
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: audience and everybody, that before we get to December thirty first,
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty twenty four, I will watch at least an
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: episode of New Girl, probably the first.
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: One, except for the first one is not the best one.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: But that's sorry.
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: That's I mean, if I watched it, I'm like, oh,
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: the whole shit series is terrible because I watched the
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: first episode. That's it. That's I feel like I've met
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: my part of the obligation.
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like you need to get a
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: couple episodes.
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: But if that's fair, it's all right. I'll give it.
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: I'll give it a good shot. I'll give it because
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: I joke about it. But I know the first episode
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: of any series is often touch and go.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, anyhow, I didn't mean. I just I had
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: thought that you had watched it, so that's the thing.
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I also have not watched Dune Prophecy.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: Well this because it's not out yet.
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: That's one reason.
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: Yes, did you watch Dune or did Dune?
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: I watched the first Dune. I haven't seen the Dune
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: Run run. I haven't seen that one, but I've seen
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: the first one, which I thought was good. I thought, like,
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not as I'm not as big into
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: the Dune lore as as some of our friends are,
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: who are really big fans of Dune, Like they are
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: fans of the books, they know all the lore, they
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: were really looking forward to the movies. That's not me.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: I've always been aware of it, but it was never
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: like anything I saught after. But I will say the
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: trailer for Dune Prophecy, if you want more Dune and
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: you're also kind of hoping for a Reese's Peanut Buttercup
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: kind of experience where you got your Dune on my
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: Game of Own, Hey, you got your Game of Thrones
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: on my Dune. Dune Prophecy lists like it's gonna serve
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: right up the alley for you.
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I feel I just feel like it's it's
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: Jedi meets bsg.
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: Oh see for me. I just it was giving such
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: Game of Thrones energy to me, Like I do get
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: that part of that is because it is you know,
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: it is about the Bena Jesaret, the Sisterhood, and the
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: whole purpose of the Sisterhood is to shape events in
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: order to preserve the Empire and to bring about this
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: foretold future that you know it happens like ten thousand
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: years later. So obviously it's gonna be the very Games
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: of Thrones ish because it's all about controlling all the
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: elements to make sure that this one future happens.
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe that's why it felt like BSG to me too,
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: because there's also a foretold future that people are working
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: for in that at least in the new the Sify
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: Siffy one. I mean, it looks pretty I'm interested. I
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: thought the first Dude movie was very well done. I mean,
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: I've talked about my opinions about it on the show,
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: so I won't bore y'all. I thought the second one
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: had a lot more stuff, and this one obviously isn't
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: centered all on Aracus, so you get to explore a
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: lot more of the wide world created.
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: Here's the thing is that I had forgotten that the
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: Second Dune had already been out, like like it was
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: one of those I like, in my mind it's that
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: thing that we're waiting to get released. And I remember
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: that Anya Taylor Joy isn't it? And like Florence Pugh
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: isn't it? Or something like that, and I'm like, I'm like, oh,
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: when is that coming out? Oh yeah, I guess you can.
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: It's been out and I haven't.
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: You can't watch it on streaming now.
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: I know, right, Like, oh man, I should watch it
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: on streaming because, like I said, I like the first one.
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: I thought. I thought I didn't go crazy for it.
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: It wasn't like my Cup of Tea. But I thought
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: it was really well done, and I thought it was
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: performed well, and I thought the special effects and everything
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: were really well realized, Like it all looked good. It
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: just I don't know. It's probably the same way a
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: lot of people feel about Lord of the Rings, where
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: they don't they just don't. They don't feel a connection
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: to the material and they can recognize, yeah, this is
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: big and it's got a lot of moving parts and
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: it's incredible that they were able to achieve this, but
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: still doesn't mean anything to me. I think it's the
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: same sort of thing for me.
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, June doesn't mean a whole lot to me,
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: but I am familiar with it, and I will probably
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: watch this prophecy.
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: I'll have to ask you what it's like. I don't
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: think i'm gonna watch it. I just don't think there's
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: enough for me to be interested in it. But I
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: am very curious to hear what you think about it.
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, for sure. Also, we're getting Citadel. The new
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: Citadel isn't even out yet, and we're already getting a
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: spin off, Jonathan.
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: Actually, the new Citadel is out. It came out. It
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: came out like last week. Yeah, Citadel Citadel Diana, which
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: is the Italian one, came out earlier this month, and
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: then Citadel Honey Bunny, which is the Indian spin off
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: of Citadel, comes out later this year. And so if
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: you if you don't remember, Citadel is like this big property.
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: It's kind of like a like if you wanted to
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: try and manufacture and integrated cinematic universe, just coming out
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: of the gate with brand new IP. That's what Citadel is.
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: We've already got a season of it in America where
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: it was the you know, the story about this kind
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: of like spy agency and there's all this intrigue and
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: double crosses and stuff like that. We got the Italian one,
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: which I believe is Citadel Diana. That was the one
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: that had the woman with the asynchronous haircut or the haircut. Yeah,
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: I hated that haircut. And now getting Citadel Honey Bunny,
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: which is the one set in India. I gotta say,
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: out of all the things I've seen from Citadel, this
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: is the one that appealed to me the most, probably
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: because there was a lot more light hearted humor in it.
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Citadel Honey Bunny looked really fun. It looked like
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: it had action and intrigue in humor and acting was great,
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: and I I am on board for it. It looks
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: like Citadel Diana has a five point nine on IMDb
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: and an eighty two percent on Rotten Tomatoes, So that's
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: sixty seven percent of people like the TV show. Apparently
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: that's not horrible.
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: No, it's not great, I mean, but it's not horrible.
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: Uh Yeah, that one to me looked much more generic
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: spy action movie, right Like. It looked like, you know
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: how whenever a really big film comes out and then
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: you get a bunch of movies that try to kind
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: of emulate that same thing, but they just they're kind
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: of pale imitations. To me. Citadel Diana was kind of
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: looking like, okay, well this is sort of a pale
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: imitation of like Mission Impossible. That's kind of how it
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: felt to me, or one of the I think you
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: mentioned atomic blonde when we were talking about it, and
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: it does have a very atomic blonde kind of energy too. Yeah.
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: I don't think it was for Citadel Diana though, I
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: think it was for something else, but it does have
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: a very atomic blonde energy to it. I think it
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: was for like Black Canary or something.
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, you're right, it was Black Canary. You're right. The
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: thing is, though, is that it's like, yeah, those properties
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: are incredibly similar to me.
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was like Red Sparrow, no atomic blond, no
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: black widowed, no.
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: Purple Ostrich.
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: However, Honey Bunny looks delightful. I like, I'm actually going
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: to put this on my list of things to watch,
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: provided I can watch it. Unlike the Australian The Office,
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: which still hasn't come to the US, but it's also
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: getting really good reviews.
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: That well, we really like that trailer. That trailer looked funny.
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: The next trailer does not look funny, but it does
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: have someone who's typically in like a lot of comedic
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: things playing one of the characters. He's actually playing the
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: antagonists in this. We got a trailer for an action
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: movie called carry On, which Ariel sent to me and
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: said something about it being kind of diehardish, and I said, yeah,
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: it's like die Hard in an airport, except that's die
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: Hard Too too.
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: I said it was like die Hard too. I think
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: you just missed the two.
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: I didn't see the two. I didn't see the too.
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: I just saw die Hard.
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: It's like die Hard Too if you make it less
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: heartwarming and funny, but still about Christmas.
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: Right, well, not about Christmas. It's set during Christmas. Where
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: are we going to relitigate this? We already had ours.
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: We did it with die Hard one. We haven't done
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: it with die Hard Too yet.
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: Let's relitigate. Okay, So it takes place, it's during.
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: It takes place during Christmas.
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and if John McClain was a TSA agent instead
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: of a cop.
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And so the antagonist is played by Jason Bateman,
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: who has done a lot of comedic stuff and a
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: lot of serious stuff. Ozarks, I would not say it's comedic, No,
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: it's not. It's horribly depressing but very well done. I
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: have friends in that show. And then the TSA agent
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: is played by Taron Egerton, who has also done funny
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: stuff like Kingsman.
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's funny because I don't associate Bateman with
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: like action movie stuff. But then I wouldn't have associated
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: Alan Rickman with action movie stuff either.
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: So.
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it appears that the trailer shows a storyline where
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: Bateman's character wants to get a suitcase containing something potentially
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: very deadly something through security and makes contact with Edgerton's
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: TSA agent character and says, hey, you've got to let
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: this bag through security or else I'm going to kill
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: the people you love. And then things explode and action happens.
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: Yes, I mean see it is it is Diehard too,
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: because Taron Egerton has like us, He's an action slightly
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: comedic action star who's got a squarehead. So was Bruce Willis. Yeah,
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: neither neither Rickman or Bateman are considered action stars but
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: play really good drama and villainy.
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: So yeah, but but Rickman wasn't the villain and die
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: Hard too, that was that was a different actor. Who
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: is William Sadler, who I also love William Sadler, phenomenal,
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: nomenal actor.
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: You're right, it's it's it's like, it's like if die
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: Hard had Bad the Bad Guy. It's like if the
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: Bad Guys was it from season three of Buffy when
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: she was in college, if that organization grew up.
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: Anyway, check out check out the trailer, because we've done
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: a terrible job at discarding it for such a simple concept.
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: We really circled the drain on that one.
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if you like scarry, actiony stuff, it'll probably be
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: for you. I think Red One will be my Christmas
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: movie this year, but we'll see.
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: I don't think this will be my Christmas. I mean,
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: i'll probably watch this when it's on streaming because I
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: have an issue with action films because I feel like
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: Diehard set a very very high standard for really entertaining
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: action movies where you actually care about the characters, and
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: a lot of other movies try to take the shortcut
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: to get to where Diehard was without doing the work,
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: and they just feel hollow as a result. So I
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: actually got burnt earned by action movies. I think Speed
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: got about as close as any other action film did
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: for a very long time.
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: Did you like Red?
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: Red is Okay? I've got some issues with Red that
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: are more philosophical slash tonal.
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: Gotcha, gotcha? Okay. Yeah, although I will say, for carry On,
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: if Taron Egerton does not say yippie kaye or at
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: some point entire movies wasted.
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: How can the same thing happened to a different guy?
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: Yes, well, like it's like Mattlock. You know, the show
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: or the movie exists within the world of the second Right.
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: So if they if they acknowledge that Diehard is a thing,
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: like it's a movie that the people of carry On
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: are aware of as opposed to like, yeah, if Diehard
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: actually exists as a film in that universe, I'm down
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: to that. Yeah. Let's talk about something else I'm down for,
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: which is season three of Invincible. That's a show that
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: remains very hard for me to watch, and yet I
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: keep watching it.
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: Here's the thing, so I haven't watched the second half
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: of season two, yet it's good. I know. Thankfully. This
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: trailer I don't think ruined a whole lot.
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: No, it's a very meta trailer.
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's the thing. Both like the first see
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: the first trailer for season two and this trailer are
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: just delightful. Like tonally, they don't. The show does have
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: this tone in it, but it's more sporadic because the
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: show is also very very dark.
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because people are getting getting the front of their
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: skull pushed into the back of their skull.
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, but you know, I think I think that's
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: the thing about Invincible that makes it better than The
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: Boys is that there is that humanity in it, and
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: there is a connection and there are lighthearted moments that
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: you feel good laughing at that you don't feel disgusting
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: laughing at. Well.
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because the heroes in Invincible are trying to be heroes.
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: They're not putting on the performance of being a hero
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: while just being a corporate product. That's what The Boys is, right,
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: Like the Boys, they aren't really heroes their position to
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: be heroes, but really they're corporate spokespeople. And then an
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: Invincible they're actually trying to protect people and save the day.
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: They're flawed, some of them are excessively flawed, but they
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: are trying to save people. Yeah. The teaser for Invincible
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: season three features just a discussion between two characters that
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: is not even thinly veiled. It is overtly about how
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: long it has taken to get to season three, and
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: making a promise that, unlike season two, it will not
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: be divided into two halves.
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I think it comes out in January. The thing
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: that they do, like see, like they did with the
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: season two trailer, is they break the fourth wall m
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: h and reference real life and voice acting and stuff
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: like that. So and even shows Steven Yuan in a
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: part of it, which is adorable. Uh so, Uh did
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: I say his name right? Stephen ya? Stephen?
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay. Uh, I was like, it's completely wrong, actor Ariel, No,
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: it's not. It looks really cute. I'm like, ah, season
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: three looks so cute. I'm gonna watch it and then
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna get done with season two and be like,
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I can watch it.
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: No, You're gonna get done with season two and be like,
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: oh my gosh, I gotta get season Three's got to
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: get here soon because I need to see how this
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: gets resolved.
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's good to know.
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's I mean, it's there's I'm not gonna sugarcoat it.
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: There's some rough watches ahead of you, but it's uh
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: it's a good it's a good series. Like I I
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: do think I prefer to The Boys. I've watched both,
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: and I've even watched gen V of the Boys. I
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: didn't think I was going to and then I did.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: I'm glad I did, because otherwise the last season of
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: the Boys wouldn't have made as much sense to me.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I think Invincible is better for me. I'm
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: not gonna say it's a better show, but for me,
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: it's better.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So it does get very dark and it does
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: get very gruesome. It is easier for me to handle
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: in a cartoon format too.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: Also true, Yeah, where you're not seeing real people getting
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: like debas or whatever. Well, if you want your superhero
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: action to go truly bonkers, you can watch the trailer
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: for Batman Ninja Versus Yakuza League. Because I did, and
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: I don't fully understand what I saw.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: Well, Batman's a ninja and the Yukuza are the good
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: guys who bring order.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: Well that's how they see it. Yes, yes, thecusare I
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: mean it's organized crime. Yes, organized crime does bring order.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, it seems like the Jukuza thinks is they're
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: the good guys, which to be fair makes for a
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: really good villain.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if your villain is just like I'm bad, that's
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: not very interesting.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I was about to say, like Agatha Harkness, but
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: I don't want to get lynched by all of our
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: listeners and friends.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: Agatha Harkness is though, she is like very much the
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: cackling bad guy like she lives. She plays up to that, like,
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: you get the feeling that she does have certain regrets,
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: but not so much that they are enough to make
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: her change in any significant way, like she's Yeah, she
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: just continuously goes back to being bad. Like it makes
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: me think of the story about the scorpion and the frog, right,
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: the scorpion stings the frogs like, well it's in my name,
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: I'm like, well, and the way Agatha is presented, she's
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: just by nature evil and her her own ken have
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: said that. So yeah anyway, which.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: Which could make it sad, And certainly some of her
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: attitude could be trauma based, but.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, not very not very nuanced. I mean, Catherine Hawn
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: phenomenal and performing it, but not a very nuanced character.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: Her performance is fantastic, but yeah, Batman Ninja Versus Yakuza
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: League gets animated it's like in an anime style. It's
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: in Japanese. It's subtitled. At least the version we saw
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: was subtitled. There might be a dub out there too,
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: but it involved interesting anime takes on characters too, like
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: the Flash's anime version was really interesting.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it looks beautiful.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: It does not entirely sure what's going on based on
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: the trailer, apart from apparently Japan descending upon Gotham and
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: Japan Point is almost entirely populated by yakuza. So that's
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: a thing.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: When does it come out? It comes out in twenty
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: twenty five. That's a shame. I have a friend who's
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: visiting in November, who, uh, whenever they are here, they
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: we watch some DC animated something and I was hoping
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: this would be it, but it doesn't come out till
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it looks it looks really interesting. Uh, and I'm
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: sure that you know, as a full story it makes sense.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: It's just like the trailer, it's hard to kind of
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: piece together what is supposed to be happening. It's just
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: but it is a lot of cool visuals.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, speaking of cool visuals and really interesting, this trailer
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: for The Fix. Thank you for adding it, because.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: I was worried because I thought you might find it
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: too icky.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: So there is like there is some were wolf esque
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: body horror in it. Yeah, but that's it feels, at
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: least the trailer. That's a more minimal part of it.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: It is a story about humanity is living in a
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: world where the air is not breatheable. There's a toxin,
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: and they come out with a drug to make the
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: air breathable to people. But of course that's a sale thing.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: I think maybe I misunderstood the trailer, but some people
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: try to basically recreate the drug on a more free
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: basis and it mutates the person who takes it.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 2: The sense I got is that you have this big
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: company and it's a pharmaceutical company, and they have started
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: to replicate a drug. They don't have the full formula
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: to make it safely, but they're marketing it like crazy.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: It's kind of coming across a bit like let's make
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 2: something that everyone has to have because of the way
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: the world is. So instead of fixing the world, we're
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: just creating a way to treat symptoms essentially, and that
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: we can become filthy rich through this, and the main
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: character at one point was the spokeswoman for this drug.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: She was hired because she's a model. She was hired
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: to do the advertising for it, and then ends up
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: being injected with the stuff and it makes her mutate
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: and have spiky bits that let her do things like
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: cling to walls and ceilings and stuff, and she looks freaky.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: And it might also give her like gills or something.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, or certainly lets her do things like jump further
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: and like she has. It was also given me kind
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: of vibes of like Species, the movie Species, so like
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 2: it's it's interesting. There's one point where she's wearing, you know,
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: one of the face masks that everyone has to wear
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: in order to breathe, where I was like, this looks
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: like that looks like it's a Morton Joe's Yes, Yes,
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: ask for from Fury Road.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think. I think at that point, her character,
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: again just based off of watching the trailer, had already
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: mutated and was trying to fit in. Probably didn't actually
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: need the mask anymore.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it looks interesting, like this looks like it looks
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 2: like a science fiction film that's not like every other
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 2: science fiction film. Trailer I've seen in the last couple
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 2: of years. So I'm excited about this because it does
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: look like a an original idea, which is kind of cool.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I guess something we should mention is that it
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: looks like the the issue in the movie, like the
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: problem that occurs is not necessarily because she mutates, but
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: because then the pharmaceutical company wants to basically use her
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: to to figure out how to make this pharmaceutical better,
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: and so they want to basically like use her as
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: a labrat or drain her for enzymes or something like that.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, they use the term harvest. Harvest, So yeah,
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: looks it looks good. Like Yeah, I'm hoping that it
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: lives up to the trailer because it would be cool
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 2: to have a new take, kind of sci fi horror
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: take that isn't part of another franchise. That would be nice.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: I agree, I agree. I do think it'll be a
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: little scary, but I think it'll be a handible, handleable
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: scary for me.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: However, what about our next one?
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: Probably not?
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: Oh, this one looks like this one looks like it
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: has some real dark humor in it too.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: Yes, so we're talking about Stephen King made a short
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: story called The Monkey. I think it's probably one of
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: his nearer ones because my husband, who read a lot.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: That's very old. It's in Skeleton Crew, which is from
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: the nineteen eighty. It was actually originally written in nineteen eighty.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: Okay, interesting. I had asked my husband if he had
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: read it, and albeit he hasn't read all Stephen King,
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: but he was a big fan for a while and
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: he not familiar with this one.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's part of his Skeleton Crew collection. Like it
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: was originally published in a magazine, but it got republished
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: in his anthology Skeleton Crew, because this was one that
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: I had read when I was a kid. And I
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: will say that the trailer for the Monkey goes well
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: beyond what the story does. So in the story, it's
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: about a guy who, when he was younger, found a
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 2: wind up monkey toy in his uncle's attic and the
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: toy is cursed and when it clashes its symbols together.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 2: Whenever that happens, someone close to the main character dies.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: And it doesn't matter what you try and do, Like
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: if you try and block the monkey's symbols or whatever,
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: at some point you'll hear the little clattering and it
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: means someone you know has died, and so that's kind
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 2: of how the story unfolds. But it's fairly well contained,
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: like it's all the people who are part of his
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: life that he's concerned about, including himself, and the trailer
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: makes it look almost more like a Final Destination.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: Movie, Yeah, but funnier it So. Yeah, they say that,
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: you know, if you have the Monkey, the deaths that
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: you cause will be super gruesome, and it certainly looks
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: that way. Yeah.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they are over the top and incredibly blooding, so that.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: Means it's probably won't be for me. But it has
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: a flippin amazing cast. Freaking It's got Elijah Wood, it's
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: got who was Froto, It's got Tatiana Maslani who was
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: Orphan Black and also she Hulk. It's got Theo James
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: from I know, mainly from Divergent, but he's not a
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: bunch of like Witcher and X Men voice acting. And
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: it's got Christian Convrey who played Sweet Tooth in the
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: Netflix series Sweet Tooth as one of the kids.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the trailer looks like it was well made.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: It's weird because I'm not sure if the movie actually
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 2: has that much of a dark sense of humor running
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: through it, or if this is one of those things
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: where it's cherry picked specifically for the trailer because I
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 2: couldn't really get my finger on the pulse of what
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 2: the tone of the movie is. But I'm definitely interested
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 2: because in some ways I think this is the way
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 2: an adaptation should be made. Like the adaptation has taken
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: inspiration from the source material, but it's not trying to
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 2: slavishly recreate the source material, because why would you, And
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 2: I kind of I kind of admire that like it.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: You can go one of two ways. You use it
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: as inspiration, you make something that's equally interesting but different,
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: or you try to be as as loyal to the
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 2: source material as possible to do a fitting adaptation. On
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: the one hand, if it's Stephen King, I like the
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: first version. If it's Tolkien, I like the second one.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: Gotcha, gotcha? You know what? It sounds like you're more
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: optimistic for this than you were for Night Swim, So
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: that's good.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: I'm more optimistic for this than I am for were Wolves.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: I'll say that.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, this. Honestly, I thought it was a second
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: trailer for Family Pack, which is the Netflix movie that's
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: coming out or TV series I don't remember, based on
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: the game were Wolf.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the one that's in French.
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: The one that's in French that comes out later this month.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: But it is not. It is a very b movie.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: Like it's it looks like the kind of movie i'd
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: watch on bad movie night.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, totally. Well, let me pay you to you this way.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 2: I laughed out loud when this trailer starts, because there's
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: a little text card at the beginning that said, last year,
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: a supermoon of it turned billions of people into were wolves,
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 2: and that's I lost. And I read that and I
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: was like, oh my gosh, this is gonna be an
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 2: amazing horror comedy. And then as the rest of the
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 2: trailer plays out, like, oh no, they're sincere. This is
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: not meant to be a comedy at all.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: No, which is which is why I included it. Because
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: if you're looking for something really you know, I don't
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: know if it comes out in time for Halloween, but
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: if you're looking for something really cheesy to watch, this
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: looks like it might be it.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it may. I'll tell you the kind of movies
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: that it made me think of, not that it deals
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: with the same stuff. But okay, so some of it
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 2: is like The Purge because it's about a time where
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: the Supermoon's gonna happen, and it means that any human
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: exposed to moonlight is going to turn into a were wolf.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 2: I don't understand why they have a whole thing where
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 2: they're going to try and restrain some people and volunteerarily
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 2: have them turned into were wolves. That makes no sense
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: to me.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: But you know, it does make sense. What's that Frank Grillo,
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: the main actor was in The Purge.
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so here's the connection. But the movies that
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: it makes me think of the most, honestly, from that
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 2: stupid supermoon thing where I just started laughing are twenty
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 2: twelve and The Day After Tomorrow, because those are both
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: like patently ridiculous movies, but they take themselves very seriously
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 2: and it never once felt like they were meant to
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: be taken as a joke. But I can't imagine watching
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: them in any other context. And that's kind of how
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 2: I feel about this one.
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. The other thing I was kind of
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: hoping that it would be would be the three quel
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: to Wolf Cop and Wolf Cop two, but it's not
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: I'm not recommending Wolf Copper Wolf Cop two.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: It's at least now gross. But they're not good.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: They're not good.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: The transformation sequences, at least early on, looked interesting to me,
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 2: Like I like a really good gnarly transformation scene. American
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: Werewolf in London to me still holds top honors for
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 2: that really gnarly stuff. But the werewolf design I didn't
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 2: like at all.
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: No, No, it looked, it looked pretty. The werewolf almost
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: looks like a giant version of Templeton, the rat from
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: Charlotte's Web.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, you could just hear Paul Lynde singing about garbage,
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 2: which I don't. I'm not gonna say Werewolves is garbage,
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 2: but I'm not not going to say it.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: But if they sing that song, it'll be a better movie.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, that would that would save it for me.
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: We also got a trailer for yet another Nick Frost movie,
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 2: Nick Frost. Like Nick Frost and Willem Dafoe, they've just
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 2: been in everything, everything, like they must. They must have
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: a freak out if there's a d when they wake
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 2: up and they don't have to be on a set somewhere.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: I mean that's most actors. Yeah, it's just most actors
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: have a freak out every day.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 2: That's fair. That's fair. I don't live in that world, so.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: I can't actually say that. Most actors try to get
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: to a healthy place where they're okay if they aren't
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: on set.
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, well, Nick Frost is, among all the other
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: things he's in this year, is in another horror movie
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 2: called Black Cab, and it looks to me like he's
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 2: playing a secondary antagonist, or maybe he's the primary antagonist,
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 2: but he's there's more than one in this movie where
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: it starts off looking like one kind of horror movie,
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 2: kind of like more like a psychological thriller slash stalker
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 2: kind of movie, but then turns into supernatural horror movie.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 2: So that's interesting.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: It is it feels like with each passing creepy scary
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: movie that he's getting trailers for, which is all of them.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: He must have been on a three day rotation to
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: make qual of these movies that are coming out at
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: the same time, like being in repertory theater.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: Although like some of the other ones, it's done as
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 2: like a super twisted almost like a horror comedy, this
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: one does not have any comedy elements evident in the trailer.
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: That's what I was getting to. He's trying to quickly
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: tiptoe his way into just pure.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: Horror, which I'm cool with. Like he comes across very
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 2: unsettling in the trailer here. So, the trailer shows a
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: young woman who's with a group of friends and her
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: boyfriend announces that the two of them are getting married,
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: and she looks she doesn't look thrilled about that information.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: I don't know if that was news to her or not,
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 2: but she doesn't seem like she's into it. And then
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: at the end of the night, she's getting in the
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: cab with her boyfriend slash fiance, and the cab is
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: kind of weird because the back windows are super tinted.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: They get locked into the cab. Their cab driver is
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 2: Nick Frost, who appears to know at least some very
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: important information about the young woman that her fiance doesn't know.
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 2: And then as as this bit goes, like, I was
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 2: just like, oh, this is gonna be like some sort
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 2: of cat and mouse killer but all inside a cab thing.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 2: But then there's an introduction of an element of a ghost,
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: and like the ghost is apparent, like apparently Nick Frost's
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 2: character is doing something to appease a ghost, and oh
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: this went in a direction I did not expect.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it looks interesting. It actually looks too scary
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: for me. More than likely. It vaguely reminded me of
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: Nicholas Cage's sympathy for the Devil movie that we saw
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: a trailer for.
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 2: The one where he's the one where he's being driven around.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's yeah, and he's maybe the devil.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, interesting because this one flips it around, of course,
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 2: where the antagonist is the one doing the driving. Yeah,
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 2: I would watch this. This looks interesting to me. I
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 2: don't know that it would be. It might be one
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: of those things where as the twist happens with the ghost.
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 2: First of all, I'm wondering if there's a twist, because
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 2: if it is, this is a terrible trailer, yeah, because
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 2: it does reveal that information. But I'm hoping that it's
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 2: a movie that can maintain its intensity and interest all
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 2: the way through and not just be like a thing
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 2: where I wish the film had been a different kind
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: of movie, right, Like, That's how I feel about The Descent.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: The Descent I think is really two great horror movies,
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 2: with the first half being one type of horror movie
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 2: which I actually preferred, and the second half being a
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 2: different kind of horror movie that I still like, but
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 2: I wish should have been the first one all the
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 2: way through.
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: Gotcha. I haven't watched it, so I don't know it
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: either of those two movies are.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you after we record, just in case anyone
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: out there hasn't seen The Descent and they're curious. I
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: think it's one of those movies that's better to watch
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 2: without knowing anything about it. But yeah, the first half
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 2: of that movie was exceedingly effective on me, and then
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 2: the second half was entertaining, but it wasn't what I
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: was hoping for.
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: Gotcha. Well, we're gonna We're doing pretty well. Like the
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: scary movies we've talked about this spoopy season have been
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: mostly handleable. Yeah, it hasn't been too depressing. A lot
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: of creature creature scary, which I appreciate.
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, not so much Terrifier three, which you know we
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 2: talked about briefly but I have no interest in.
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but we are ending because Jonathan is very kind
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: and arranged the lineup on a happy for everybody but
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: me trailer. I tried, no, no, no, no, I wasn't
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: giving you any sort of crap. No, this is a
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: really Disney is coming out with a movie called An
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: Almost Christmas Story.
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 2: Which is not about a leg lamp.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: No no, it's about a little owl who gets injured
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: and his dad, to keep him safe, says stay in
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: a tree. But then that tree gets cut down to
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: be the I guess a Christmas tree, maybe the Christmas
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: Tree and Rockefeller Center something like that. Yeah, something like that.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: And he falls out and meets a young girl who
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: also is separated from her family in some former fashion,
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: and they go on an adventure together. And it looks
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: like it looks like it's stopped motion made out of
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: mixed media.
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's. It looks like a very kind of innovative
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 2: approach to animation sort of it. You'll not exactly like this,
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 2: but it reminds me of like the Spider Verse films,
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 2: right where the Spider Verse gets that kind of mixed
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: animation approach. Not that this is exactly like that, it's not,
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 2: but it's just kind of or that teenage mutant Ninja
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 2: Turtles movie right like, Yeah, it's and I love that
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 2: there are all these playful approaches to animation and it's
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 2: not all cookie cutter, especially considering that this is from Disney,
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 2: and Disney does have a very identifiable style that they
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 2: typically stick with. The fact that this is not that
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 2: style is kind of cool. Yeah.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: It looks like some of the characters are made out
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: of fabrics and are made out of wood. It's very
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: pretty and I'm sure it'll be a very happy ending.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: Movie gives me like, are you my mother vibes?
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Is it John c Riley? Who's the narrator in
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 2: that trailer? I want to say it.
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: Is he's He's I think he's involved in it, so probably.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So like whenever I hear his voice, I was like,
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 2: is Reckett Ralph gonna show up?
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: That? That would sell me on this movie. I love
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: right here Ralph? Uh.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 2: Whereas I hate, well, I don't hate. I have real,
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 2: like fundamental problems with the h with both Reckord Ralph movies.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: Actually I get I get it. I can't think about
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: the story too much. But I enjoyed the journey.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the journey is fun. Like all the all the
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 2: references and stuff, those are all fun. I just the
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 2: first film seems to suggest, Hey, you need to accept
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 2: what you are in life and never aspire to be
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 2: anything else because what you are, that's what you need
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 2: to be. And I'm like, I don't like that story.
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 2: And the second one is, hey, remember when I bet
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 2: over backwards to give you the world so that you
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 2: would be happy, and now you're not happy with what
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 2: you have That I'm upset with too.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I kind of get the first one.
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: So like that is a that is a tricky line
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: because on the one hand, yes, you should aspire to
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: do good things in the world, right, but at the
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: same time, you also need to be okay, Like there
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 1: are many things that people struggle with about themselves that
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: they should be okay with.
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 2: Sure, I just feel.
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: Like maybe society has looked down on but is not
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: actually a thing to be looked down.
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 2: But the problem is that he never chose to be
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 2: a bad guy. Yeah, bad guy was a label assigned
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 2: to him. And that's the problem I have, right, Yeah, Like,
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 2: if it's if it's something that you have no control
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 2: over to say, like, just accept it. Just accept that
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 2: this is who you have to be from now on
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 2: because that choice was made for you and you have
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 2: no voice in the matter. That's where I have the problem.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: So it's hitting you more of like being stuck in
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: a caste system and not self acceptance.
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's kind of it. Like it's kind of
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 2: like the idea of Hey, you were born into this class.
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 2: You can never escape it. That's your lot in life.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 2: You had no choice in that matter. It doesn't matter
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 2: how good a job you do or what good deeds
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 2: you do for other people. This is where you're going
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 2: to be, so you should just accept that. So you
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 2: could be the best version of that to me, like that,
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 2: that's the kind of narrative that William Blake was warning
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 2: people against, saying this is this is the argument that
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 2: upper classes tell lower classes so that lower classes will
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 2: stay where they are, stay in their lane and not
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 2: threaten the status quo. I'm getting kind of deep here
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 2: about me. Well, dissection can reck it.
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: Ralph, Well, you know what I think in almost Christmas Story,
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 1: very much will not be.
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 2: That that very true, very true.
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: Like I think it is about people striving to achieve
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: something better and hopefully finding it because it's almost a
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: Christmas story unless the almost makes it super.
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 2: Dark, I don't think.
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: I think like the family. I think all of the
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: where owls, the.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 2: Owl turns into the furry creature from the legend of
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 2: og and the cycle begins anew.
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: But I I'll say, in this incredibly like quaint old
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: like cabiny feeling, I don't know why cat like yeah,
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: in this, in this cozy core almost Christmas movie, why
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: they ended it on the trailer on a p joke.
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess it's for the kids. You know, kids
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 2: find potty humor to be the peaks of comedy.
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: But I'm like, but I'm like, put it in the
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: middle of the trailer so you can end on something.
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 2: Like something uplifting or hopeful or inspiring or sweet.
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, instead of just peeing all over the rest
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 1: of the trailer at the end.
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, I mean it was so fine.
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 2: That's why we're not in marketing. I guess.
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: I guess. So I used to be.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 2: Well, then you got better. I got better.
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: I aspired to be something different and succeeded. Exception of
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: I still occasionally remember to Mark at this show. So
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: maybe there I got worse. Uh. That's that's it.
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 2: That is it. That's our full lineup. Yeah, sure, I
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 2: held I.
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: Held true to my word. I also have to pee,
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: but have not.
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's true, she did not. We didn't have to pause.
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 2: But we we are going to have to wrap this up,
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 2: but you know we can't do that until Ariel sets
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 2: me up.
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, uh okay. First I'm gonna say, well, maybe I
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: should say this later. Should I say something about the
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: next weeks now, or.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 2: Let's say it now. We're gonna say it now. So
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 2: for the next two weeks we will not be recording
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 2: because I'm going out of town before next weekend, and
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 2: then Ariel has to go out of town the following weekend.
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 2: So for two weeks we're going to be uh in
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 2: communicado because we're just not going to be able to record.
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 2: We would record on a different night if possible, but
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 2: our schedules are such that it's just really hard to do.
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 2: So you know, we will be back in like the
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 2: second week of November, but we're gonna be gone. We
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 2: do hope that everyone out there has a phenomenal Halloween
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 2: to be safe and spooky.
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, for sure, And I will try to exception
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: of when I am traveling. If there's any super cool news,
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: put it into our discord channel for people to not
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 1: miss because I know there have been many times that
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: our listeners have shared stuff with us that I'm like, oh,
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: I didn't know about that, and vice versa. So that
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: was keep up on the news. Okay. So, Jonathan, if
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: in that two week span our listeners want to contact
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: us to tell us about something they thought about during
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: this episode or the super long episode, or something that
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: we won't get to talk about, how do they reach out?
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 2: So you're gonna have to go and take like a
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 2: family friendly film, something that has a pretty substantial fan following.
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 2: Ye has a lot of good vibes around it. I'm
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 2: going to need you to deeply dissect that movie and
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 2: to really sift through it and find the cynical capitalist
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 2: heart that beats at the very center of that the
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 2: one that's giving out a message that perhaps it's not
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 2: even overt, maybe it's even subliminal, but ultimately is cow
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 2: tew to your corporate overlord's upeaws you are here to consume.
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 2: I'm going to need you to write a dissertation about
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 2: how this on the surface sweet and entertaining film is
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 2: really a treatise in order to maintain the status quo
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 2: and to keep the oppressed under the heel of the halves,
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 2: and the have nots will simply sup upon the entertainment
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 2: that has been created, and think this is in birational
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 2: as opposed to this is really kind of hammering home
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 2: the way the world has to work. Otherwise they might
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 2: realize that they in fact have the power and can
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 2: come together and topple the structures and then just defeat
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 2: the bourgeoisie and and and have everything in equality and
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 2: equal measure and no longer will this be an unfair system.
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 2: My friends, my my friends and neighbors, we can rise
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 2: up and we can take the means of production. And Okay,
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 2: I realize now that I'm asking our listeners to to
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 2: form a communist manifesto and invite me to it. Just
• 1:29:52

• 1:29:54
