• 0:26
  Speaker 1: ope wide your mouth and breathe aerial.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Well that too, uh, but you're supposed to You're supposed
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: to say and let the.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: The festival begin. Look, I I'm not a practice.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: So uh, welcome to Large Drunk Collider. We're sorry that
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: we didn't record last week. I had a a I
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: had to take a mental health day and it happens. Yeah,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: but I'm just being transparent about it, right, Like I
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: was just having I was having some issues with anxiety.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm not I'm not immune to that kind
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: of stuff. And then yeah, and so I got through it.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Lots of people very near and dear to my heart,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: like Ariel and Becca, my partner and friend of the show, Shay,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: reached out and they were all very helpful. But yeah,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: it was a rough time. But now we're back and
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: The reason I said oplied the gates was because this
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: weekend that we're coming up to the last weekend of May,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: it's also in the beginning of June, is also the
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: last weekend for the Georgia Renaissance Festival. And I actually
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: went and visited it on Memorial Day.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it was their fortieth anniversary, and they very
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: graciously invited anybody who had been there, who had performed
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: there in any capacity in the past, to come out
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: and celebrate the day, which is you know, it's delightful.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: I know Jonathan and I have talked about our qualms
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: with the direction that the fair has gone in over
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: the years, but I think that that was a very
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: kind and wonderful thing to do, So.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it was nice. I went. I had debated
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: on it. I decided not to dress up, so I
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: was just there in like shorts and a regular T
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: shirt and I was wearing the cavalier hat I wore
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: as the French villain Robert come on there, Marquis Robert,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Marquis de kemembert. I wore that, and I thought a
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: lot of other people were also not going to dress
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: up at all. I was wrong. A lot of people
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: almost everybody else did dress up. There were a few
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: others like me who slacked off. But I also explained
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: that I had gained so much weight that had I
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: tried to dress up, nothing that I own would really
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: fit me anymore, and I'd be one of those people
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: wearing an open doublet as a vest because what once
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: joined in the middle would now be rent asunder by
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: about four inches of stomach.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I feel you, I have also gained weight. There's there's
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: a possible I might have fit into one of my costumes.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: But let me tell you, guys, I still have all
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: of my old Renfair costumes. Some are better than others.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: The ones that I would have wanted to wear, either
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I would not fit into or they have seen some love.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Because even in a court dress, I they went through
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: the ringer. You know. I wasn't just all prim and
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: proper all day, because that's no fun or very entertaining.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: So yeah, and ultimately my other line was, if they're
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: not paying me, I'm not dressing up like I might
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: be going. I might be getting in for free, but
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: I'm not if they want. If they want the full admiral,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: they got a cough up, which is really just because
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: you know, it's it. I mean, it's it's Georgia in
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: late spring.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: This year has not been so bad so far, knock.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: On wood, No, but it was extremely humid because it
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: had rained heavily that morning. By the time the festival opened,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: it wasn't really raining anymore. It was still a little
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: overcast for the first hour or so, but it was
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: one of those days you remember, like it just gets swampy. Yeah.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: So yeah, but it was nice seeing a lot of
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: old timers there, people who the fact that I saw
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: people who were working at the festival when I started
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: back in nineteen ninety nine was pretty incredible. It was
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: it was nice, and so I'm glad I did it.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: There is part of me that regrets the fact that
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: I didn't dress up, because I did end up performing
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: by I did one of my stories, the story, the
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: one I'm famous for, so because one of our former
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: kings was there and he asked if I would do it,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: So I did.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: I didn't go at all, and I definitely have some fomo,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: but I didn't have costumes. I didn't want to go
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: not dressed up. Honestly, I don't know my work ethic
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: is such as like if I'm getting a ticket as
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: a guest performer, I feel like I need to perform.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: But it's okay, you know, we'll see what happens to
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: the fair moving forward.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Yes, because there's a new owner. Lancelot Entertainment LLC acquired
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Georgia Renaissance Festival earlier this year. In fact, before the
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: before the season even began, there was a new owner.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: And there's going to be some changes in management too.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm not going to go into detail
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: about that because honestly, there's no reason to.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: But I would make your cut it.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: You ed. I'm the one who edits, and I'm the
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: one who publishes it.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: I would I would bother you in.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: The other day last week, I was going to be like, well,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I could do some quick stories like Jonathan Dutt did
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: the last time I was out, But then he was like,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: I could maybe edit it, but he'd still have to
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: publish it. I really need to figure out how to
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: do that on the days you can't just to lighten
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: the loads.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but anyway, the uh, yeah, there's gonna be some
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: other changes. So we're curious to see how that how
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: that unfolds in the future. We don't know. It could
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: be it could be a great thing, or it might
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: be that there's no change. I don't know that it
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: could get much worse.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're right, I hope it gets better. I
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: really truly do. I'm I'm excited for what the future
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: holds based off of the other fairs this management company
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: owns I, you know, as much as I have fomo
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: I and I am so thankful for all of the good.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: There was some bad too, but all of the good
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: that the Renaissance Festival did. Street performing is really such
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: a special art form. It is a very special kind
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: of performance in acting, and it's an outdoor theater is
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: also very special, and I think it's such a powerful
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: tool to have as any kind of creative or actor
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: or performer. So I'm truly grateful for that. I do think,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: like I'm past I would. I don't think I could
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: ever do a full season again as a street character.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: I think I've moved on from that. But you know,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: guest performing or you know, playing one or two sets
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: is my band is still pretty tempting now.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: And then yeah, I think at best I could do
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: guest performing. Like I sat there and really thought about well.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: For one thing, I was hospitalized not too long ago
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: because of my stress levels. Yeah, I've mentioned it once
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: or twice.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Sorry, it's part of.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: My identity now, but like stress was part of the
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: reason why I ended up having to be hospitalized, and
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: so the thought of working eight weeks straight with no
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: days off is not that appealing to me from a
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: health perspective. So I would also like I would either
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: do the thing that some of our other performers have
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: done where they agree to a certain number of days,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: sometimes just one day per weekend, or the dream is
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: to do what gosh, who was it was it, Tony?
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: I can't remember. Someone in one of my first seasons,
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: I want to say it was my second or third season,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: had it written into their contract where they were killed
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: off in the in the middle joust, so that then
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: they could go. Maybe it was it might have been
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: strict Yeah is Rick, Yeah, Rick Rick had it built in.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: He was the he was the comedic admiral I want
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: to say, or something like that.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: He was he was some final year.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so he had it written into his contract where
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: he's killed. He was killed essentially before the parade.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: The p You know, I liked the parade. A lot
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: of people didn't because you're just walking from what you
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: walked to one end of the fair, to walk to
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: the other end of the fair, to walk back to
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: that first side of that. It's it was a lot,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: but I liked it.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: I did too, and I like, I know a lot
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: of patrons actually missed it because they would ask about
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: even years after we had stopped doing it, they would ask,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: when's the parade? And I kind of missed it too.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: I did understand like the issues with the parade, which
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: is that it sucked up all the characters from the village,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: put them into a line, and then it would take
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: another hour to disperse them throughout the village because everyone
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: would get backstage behind the joust, and like first they
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: would rest a bit, yeah, and then they were like,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: all right, well where are we going to go? And
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: then so they would just kind of slowly bleed out.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: And then eventually there just weren't enough people to do
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: a parade.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: That's also true, like at this point you do a
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: parade and it's like here's the beginning of the parade,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: and there's the end of the parade, and there was
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: one person in the middle.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: But again, it's part of you know, if if you
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: weren't the kind of if you liked seeing the characters
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: and you liked feeling like you're in a Renaissance village
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: as opposed to a Renaissance shopping mall, but you didn't
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: like interacting. The parade was a great way to do that.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: You could see everybody that you had missed. Sometimes you
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: could have fun little interactions that were so noncommittal that
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: even if you were like socially anxious, it's like it's
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: there and it's gone, and now you have this bright
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: little moment that cost you no energy at all for
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: a patient.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: I got a lot of hugs that way.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I gave out, Like we didn't throw
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: beads or anything, but I did give out like little
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: things here and there.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: And yeah I did too. I gave out hugs.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, I gave out like little gems and stuff.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: But yeah, fun times. I'm glad you had fun, Jonathan.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: I am too. And unrelated to that, I have a
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: question for you.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you to Pa Presence for suggesting it over
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: on Discord. We love the feedback to.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Bring the old question for Ariel back. And so your
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: question and just so y'all know, I shared this with
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: her ahead of time, and I did that because I
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: think it's way more interesting if she has a chance
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: to think about it, as opposed to putting her on
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: the spot and then she just says whatever comes to me.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: I totally thought about it today.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: So so you're you're cleaning your house, Ariel, and as
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: you're cleaning your house, you come across a talisman? What
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: is it? And what does it?
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Doue oh, I know what it does that I like
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: took it was no brainer. The talisman would be Its
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: power would be to stop, so I could nap without
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: cutting into the time I need for everything else to
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: do in the day, Like just like its own little
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: pocket dimension of napdom and come back to the same time.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: So like I need at two fifteen, I take a nap,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: and then I come back at two fifteen, And that
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: way I still have time for everything else I need today,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: because Lord knows, I don't get enough sleep. I'm trying.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: I especially need to for next week. I have an
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: overnight shoot.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: But yeah, but I think that's a good answer. I
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: like that your your use of time stoppage is to
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: take a nap and not to I don't know rob
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: a bank or I.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Mean, look, I'm a klutz and I'm also a pretty
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: honest person, So I just think i'd fail really hard
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: at robbing a bank.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, if time has stopped, you pretty much have
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: all the time of the world to get.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: It, don't But I would totally end up leaving some
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: sort of evidence that I would get tracked back to me.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: I can't even pickpocket. Pickpocket successfully involved skate three.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, that's fair.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: I think the talisman probably would be like like a nekakola.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Okay, so, yeah, you found the neck pillow of napping,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: which allows you to nap without the time passing, so
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: that you still have all those hours left in your
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: day to do whatever you need to do.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: It's the dream, I hear you.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: All right, that's a good answer.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: What about you?
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Oh well, now we're asking me.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, sometimes I'm going to ask you questions. Seat then hey, also, listeners,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: if you have a question you want us to ask
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: each other during this section, put it in the discorder,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: email us or message us or whatever.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, talk more about how you can do that
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: at the end of the show. But okay, so for me,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: I decided it would be a magic dry erase marker,
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: and anything I write on an erase board becomes true
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: until it's erased. Nice, So if I write, if I
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: want to keep it true forever, I got to keep it.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: I can't erase it, and that means it just sits there.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: And I think it has to be limited to a
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: single or maybe it's a combo. It's a single dry
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: erase board and a marker, and it only works so
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: that way. Like I can't just grab an endless number
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: of erase boards and manipulate reality. I can only do
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: like one reality changing thing at a time because I
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: want there to be limitations on my godlike powers.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't. You can't be cosmically unstoppable. I appreciate
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: your constraint, Jonathan.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't want to be the beyonder from Marvel. Yeah,
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: I think. I think that's the only fair thing. And
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: then that could get you into all sorts of hijinks,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: like I'm pretty sure I've seen both comedies and horror
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: movies with similar premises.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, for sure. That that was fun.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Well, then, now, now let's talk about since we have
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: so many segments of the show.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Now we do. I'm gonna have to rush through some
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: of them because we ended up talking about Phara a
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: whole lot before we hit record.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we gotta, we got to. We've got a bun
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: just stuff to talk about today. Well, let's let's start
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: by talking about what we've seen since the last time
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: we recorded. It's been two weeks.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: It has, and in that time, we have reorganized our
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: spreadsheet to be the order we're supposed to do it in.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So yeah, it's actually in the correct order now.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: So I got to see Sinners. I actually saw that
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: before our last recording, but I didn't get to talk
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: about it. I really really enjoyed it. I have I
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: have bones to pick with certain parts of the movie,
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: but that's like, that's just my nitpicky brain overall. I
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: first of all, the use of music in that movie
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: spoke to me on a level that felt very personal.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Like the idea of music having this supernatural power really
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: appeals to me, as does like all the different mythologies
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: and legends and folklore that relate to music and the supernatural.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: So I really love that.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Same. They even teased with like doing like like a
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: baby driver kite kind of thing where like actions were
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: hitting to the music, but they didn't really commit to that.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: That's one of my bones. I also very much loved
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: this movie, but I went in super critical because it
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: had been lauded so much before I saw it that,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe I was just being overly critical. But yeah,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: I love the use of music as well.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: I will say that I have I can understand the folks.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: I think you said that your partner felt this way,
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: but that I can understand the folks who felt that
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: the stuff before the I mean, everyone knows it's vampires, right,
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's been out forever now, but the stuff
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: before the vampires was the most interesting for some people.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: It's the opposite. I like the vampires stuff, but I
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: also felt that, I don't know, it felt like it
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: was two different movies. To me. It didn't feel like
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: it didn't feel like one was better than the other.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: They just felt like they were two different movies that
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: got smashed together, kind of like what I don't know
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: a large nerdron Collider might do if we still had
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: time to do those nationals.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Likes Donna the Dead meets Oh Brother, We're o.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Art thou That's good? Yeah, or or like Lost Boys Beats,
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: Oh brother, we at thal Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, totally yeah.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: I loved it. Also in the music. I don't know
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: if I said this when I watched it, because we
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: talked about it a little bit when I watched it
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: before you had that, you know, the the initial three
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: vampires are some dorky white people who sing Celtic music.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: And at one point during one of their songs that
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: I knew and had to stop myself from singing in
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: the theater, I then had to make sure that I
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: was not, in fact a vampire. I had to check
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: with my husband.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Was it was it? Was it all around the heather
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: or was it the h.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: It was wild mountain time. But also I know I
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: also knew Rocky Road to Doublin. The Only one I
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: wasn't familiar with that the vampires sing, because the vampire sing, sorry,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: that isn't yeah, I don't I don't know. That's probably
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: a real song. I just wasn't familiar.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: I wasn't familiar with that one. That sounded more like
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: a Southern one than an Irish ballad to me. But yeah,
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: so enjoyed it, and then I've also watched I have
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: not seen the most recent episode. But I've watched I
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: think three or four episodes of maybe even five of
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: poker Face season two. I lost track of the fact
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: that it was on again. Uh, And so then I
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: caught up last week. I started watching the most recent episode,
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: and I had to nope out and read a bit
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: of a little bit more information about it to find
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: out what was going on, because I was worried that
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: it was going to involve child death, and I was like,
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: that's gonna be way too fricking grim for this show
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: that treats death so cavalierly. Like I like poker Face,
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: but poker Face season two feels like it's way more
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: casual with the killing than season one was, so like
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: like they're treating the killing almost like it's a joke
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: in some of the episodes, and I don't feel comfortable
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: with it. I feel like it was treated a little
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: more seriously in the first season. Now that might just
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: be my perception, but it is like everything else is fine,
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: although it is wild that I feel they're taking even
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: longer to bring Charlie into the stories now, Like the
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: setup is so long it's easily half an episode, if
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: not more. For some of these episodes and then Charlie
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: finally gets brought in, so she's not even there for
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: that long to do anything anyway. It's also weird because
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: sometimes it seems like characters are picking up on the
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: fact that she's able to detect lies.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: I haven't watched it, but isn't she also like just
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: very open about.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: That she is. But there are times where characters haven't
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: had that conversation with her but appear to already understand
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: what she's capable of, so that they are carefully speaking
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: around a lie so that they're not actually lying. And
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: I'm like, that makes sense if you know what she's
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: capable of, right.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Maybe her reputation precedes her.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: No one knows who this chick is. No one knows.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: That's the whole point. She's supposed to be a nobody,
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: So I don't know. There are things about the season
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: that I think are just not being handled as well
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: as season one. It's still natash Leone is still amazing,
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: she's still phenomenal in the role. The actors and the
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: guest stars, they're getting our fund Cynthia Rivo clearly had
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: a great time playing like five different characters in the
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: first episode. But I don't think it's as well done
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: as the first season.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Personally, gotcha. I I haven't watched Today's murder Bot. I
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: technically was awake when it came out last night, but
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: I was like, I want to be fully conscious when
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: I watch it. Really loving that show. I was mad
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: last week because they ended the episode at a point
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: where I thought it was horrible to end. Because they're
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: thirty minute episodes and it's so good. I wish they
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: were longer, and they're also only releasing one episode a week.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: I've also started Ted Lasso. I'm almost through the first season.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: I hate to say I like it because I was like,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: I don't really like soccer. I don't want to watch
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Ted last It is very good. Everybody was right. It's
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: very fun. It's you know, it's it's like Welcome to Wrexham,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: but like cheeky comedy and also mostly uplifting.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, fairly wholesome, even with all the like the hooligans.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's tv Ama, but mostly for language.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: There's there's definitely some adult content in there, but it's
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: still pretty wholesome. I finished my first play through a
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Bolder Skate three last night. Congratulations, thank you, everybody had
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: a happy ending and no and no allies died during
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: the final fight. Now mind you. I had started the
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: game on normal mode Explore mode, and I I went
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: or balance mode and like, as soon as I hit
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: the under dark, I moved it over to Explore mode,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: which is the easy I just want to play this
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: fun story and not pull out my hair in these
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: fights mode, which I needed because still several of the
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: fights I had to go through two or three times
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: to figure out how to win them. My only complaint
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: with the game is that it doesn't save often enough
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: for me, so I ended up quick saving an awful lot,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: which meant that I kept running out of space. And
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: now i've I didn't label because I was quick saving,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: I didn't label my saves, so now I just got
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: to get rid of the game to play my next
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: play through. I am debating between playing like a Charisma
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: character and romancing Gale, the other character I said I
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: would never romance because it seems like a fun story,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: or playing a Dark Urge and doing the Dark Urge storyline.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know which I want to do first. I'm
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: gonna do both.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: I find playing a bar is fun because you can
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: make people do really dumb things. But it's also very
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: challenging because a bart is not a heavy hitter when
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: it comes to combat.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I so like I could play a Bart,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: or I could play like a warlock for my Gail,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: play my Gail play through. I'm not playing it to
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: romance Gale. I just think that's that's the character whose
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: story I want to see play out next.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: Did your romance anyone in this one?
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: I did. I. So here's the thing. I went into
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: the game being like, everybody stands Astorian and I'm not
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: gonna do that because I'm not that basic and whatever.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: I thought I was gonna romance will. But yeah, but
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: especially like, I was surprised how First of all, I
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: was surprised kind of what Astarian storyline actually is. It
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: has to deal with, you know, abuse and mistreatment and
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: things like that, and he did it in such an honest, real, thoughtful,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: caring way because the voice actor Neil Nubahan, worked with
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: the directors on it, and if you listen to any interviews,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: put so much care and thought into the development of
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: the character and the story being told that it's just
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: it's it's very honest and it's very beautiful. Beautiful is
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: the wrong word. It's just very honest. And I it
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: took me in a way that I did not expect.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: It touched me in a way I didn't expect it to,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: and I'm actually really glad that I did that. I
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: wish I had done that as the dark Urge because
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: apparently there's like a whole nother storyline you get with
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: a Starian if you're a dark Urge, because they have
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: similar situations that they're trying to get out of, and
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: that kind of helping each other through a bad time
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: thing is something that really resonates with me. So maybe
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: I'll romance a Storian again for that, I just know
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: I'm probably not. Maybe I will do twenty playthroughs in
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: every iteration I can possibly do. But yeah, well ended up.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I thought I was going to romance.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Well I ended up romancing Historian. And it was a
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: good story. But everybody had a happy ending. I was
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: so surprised. Like the worst ending was honestly not having
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: a weighted cure because I kept a Storry in a
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: spawn instead of ascending, and so he's still a vampire
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: and can't go out in the Sun.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: Sorry spoilers, Jonathan, Yeah, I mean I knew he was
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: a vampire, okay.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: And then uh, but that's all I knew. Yeah, and
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: then well, I don't want to spoil anything else. Anyhow,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: everybody had a pretty happy ending. It was very good
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: and I totally didn't cry the last time I patted
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: the dog or the owl bear before ending my game,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: I totally didn't. I totally didn't cry. I don't know why.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: I was like, I'm leaving these pets that I had,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: and you don't even have that many interactions with them.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: They're just kind of around your camp.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: But I don't know, well, I mean, they make the
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: dog and the olbear like so like loyal and friendly
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: to your character if you're if you're playing it, like
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: if you're playing it compassionately, that you know. I remember
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: watching a video where they talked about how characters in
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: your camp will be sad if the dog dies. Yeah,
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: and then I'm like that that is something I will
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: not let happen.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Well, which it's like you have to make specific choices
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: for Scratch the dog Scratch to die in your camp
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: because outside of the camp, you can summon him as
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: a familiar and if he gets killed in a battle,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: he just goes back to camp. Yeah, so it has
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: to be a decision you make in camp, which is
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: a decision you make because there are a few opportunities
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: to fight for fights to start in camp, especially if
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: you're playing a dark urge. But for the most part,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: those are just exposition right enrolled.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, fighting out character backgrounds and motivations and that
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: kind of thing.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: I did learn. I did not long rest nearly enough
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: in Act one, but it was a lot of fun,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: and I also did I it apparently did a bunch
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: of quests out of order, although I think I got
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: to pretty much everything. There was one quest I couldn't
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: do an Act three, but because I used a mod,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: I already had the thing I would get from that quest,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: so it wasn't a big deal. Well, oh wait, one
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: more thing I'm catching. I've caught up on Doctor Who,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: but balder Skate has been I like this season, but
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: balder Skate has been more interesting.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, then let us now turn to thirty seconds
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: or less. We've got a whole bunch because obviously we
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: skipped last week, so we kept a lot of the
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: stories that are on there. So while some of these
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: are perhaps a little on the stale side, we still
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: felt that they were relevant enough for us to mention.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: So with that, I guess we'll get started. So here
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: we go. Disney Slash Marvel announced that the two upcoming
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: Avengers films, currently subtitled Doomsday and Secret Wars, will come
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: out a little later than previously planned. Doomsday was to
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: come out on May first, twenty twenty six, but now
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: it's been pushed back to December eighteenth of twenty twenty six.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Secret Wars was supposed to come out May seventh, twenty
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: twenty seven. Now we'll come out December seventeenth, twenty twenty seven.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: So what is taking the place of Avengers Doomsday. That
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: would be the Devilwaars Prada too. I am not kidding.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: I'm not as interested in the Devil Wars product, But
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: take your time on these movies. Make them good. Other
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: things that have been pushed back are in the animation world.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: So Teenage Mutant Ninja, Turtles, Mutant Mayhem too, well, that's
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: a mouthful has been pushed from September has been pushed
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: from October twenty twenty six to September seventeenth, twenty twenty seven,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: and also apparently the legend of Aang Last Airbender has
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: been pushed back as well from January to October of
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. But Paw Patrol has been bumped up.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: So yes, so blue Skies are here again after a
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: closed beta period. Computer animation film Cartwheel is in business.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: So what's Cartwheel's bag? AI? Maybe? Yep? Cartwheel uses AI
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: to assist in and speed up the process of three
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: D computer animation. According to Deadline, Cartwheel says it can
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: take video or even text and turn it into three
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: D animations that can be edited and inserted into projects.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: Will this tech help reduce crunch time for overworked animators
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: or will it put them out of work entirely? Hmmm?
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: AI is being used elsewhere in Fortnite Apparently James Earl
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Jones voice will be used along with a Darth Vader skin.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: They have been working very closely with James Earl Jones's
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: state on this, so they have permission to do it.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: I think you also have to be like eight, You
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: have to be over a certain age to use that skin.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: I guess Darth Vader is just a little mean for something.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: Okay, Well, if you're like me. You've often found yourself
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: at a Chuck Entertainment cheese establishment, mallet in hand, prepared
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: to smash a critter back into a hole, and then
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: you think, I wonder what that little guy my story is. Well,
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: worry no longer, because Tri Star Pictures and Mattel announced
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: a live action, animated hybrid film about Whack a Mole.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: And while I'm kind of throwing shade right now, I
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: don't know, Maybe it'll turn out to be good.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: From Whack a Mole to leap Frog, uh kind of.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Conan O'Brien is voicing a character in Toy Story five.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: The character's name is Smarty Pants, apparently dealing with like
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: all of the digital toys that kids have nowadays. So
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: I'm guessing he's going to be some sort of leap
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: Frog sort of character. We don't know much more about
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: the story or exactly what it is, but it's coming.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: Here are some updates on the Hunger Games Sunrise. On
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: the Reaping casting, Elle Fanning will play Fie. That's the
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: character Elizabeth Banks played in the original film series. Ray
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: Fines is playing President Snow. Molly McCann and Iona Bell
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: will play Luella and Lulu. Other actors include Jesse Plemons,
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: Maya Hawk, Whitney Peeke McKenna, Grace and many, many many more.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: In fact, soon I expect we'll see some stories about
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: the few people in Hollywood who haven't been cast in it.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Street Fighter is also doing some casting. They're looking at
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Jason Momoa, Andrew Kogi, and Noah Centino for they're in talks.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: But apparently those talks are happening. Kityle Sakurai, I'm sorry
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: I should have looked out to pronounce it before this
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: moment in time. Who has done writing, directing and producing
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: on The Eric Andre Show is directing it. I the
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: first Street Fighter movie was so bad, but rale Julia
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: was so good eating the scenery as m Bison. I
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: I honestly don't know if they can capture the same magic.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: For me. It was a Tuesday. Have you ever watched
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: Hitchcock's classic film Psycho and thought, I wonder what this
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: would be like if I were set in England in
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: the eighteen fifties. Well, maybe the upcoming Victorian Psycho will
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: answer that question. Okay, so it's not a reimagining of
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: Robert Block's story about a motel owner with mommy issues.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: This one follows a psychotic governess as she kills her
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: way through the staff of a large manor house. Mica
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: Monroe will star as the titular psycho. I thought it
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: was just.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: Gonna be Jack the Ripper. Okay, Sesame Street. Sesame Street
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: lost its contract or ended its contract with HBO at
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: the end of twenty twenty four, but do not worry.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: It is now coming to Netflix. It be available on
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: PBS as well. They're also updating the format. Some they're
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: gonna have, like many novella stories to like ten to
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: fifteen minute episodes about specific characters which you know will
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: be interesting to see. I'm not again it.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. The live action
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: Lelo and Stitch movie broke quote all the box office
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: records end quote. According to Deadline, it racked up the
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: largest Memorial Day weekend box office at one hundred and
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: eighty two point six million bucks. It's the largest opening
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: for a PG movie in May that had the biggest
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: Tuesday box office in May, beating out Shrek the Third
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: and lots of other records to boot. Deadline also reports
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: the movie is projected to rake in settle yourself four
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: point two billion dollars in the United States and Canada alone.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Family and Horror. That's this year ninety three percent fresh audience.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Right now, I think this is the last one. Yes,
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: this is the last one for everybody who's waiting for
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: the third season of Severance, which they are working on,
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: and they do say that they aim to get it
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: out sooner than the second season. More good news, Ben
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: Stiller has ideas for at least two spinoffs in the
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: Severance world. That's all they are right now. But for
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: those who are like, surely they can't go on forever
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: in this first story, don't worry. There might be more.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: I sure hope one of those is Who's that Goat?
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: If the goats are just what they showed at the
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: end of season two, I will be very sad.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, well, let's talk about some stuff that
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: doesn't actually fit our lineup. But we've got a couple
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: of things to say about them. I put in a
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: trailer for season four of The Bear. I know that
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: Ariel watches The Bear. I do not, so I don't
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: have a lot to say about this one, because like
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: I didn't, I mean, all I could tell is that
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: people are talking about fine dining.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so once again I like the bear. People didn't
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: like season three as much as some of the other seasons,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: but I give it a lot of grace. It had
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: some very good moments, and also they were dealing with
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: it in the middle of all of the strikes, so
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: that's hard. But it looks like they are all going
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: to try to get along a little better this season. Honestly,
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: it looks like the same problems. They're running out of money,
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: they keep having fighting and it causes inconsistency and they
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: need to get past that or the restaurant's going to close.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: Maybe this season they'll actually do that. I realize they'll
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: have to find it a new stick for season five.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: If that's the case. I do like the show, but yeah,
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: it looks a little bit like more of the same.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: We also saw a trailer for a film called Caught Stealing.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: This one stars Austin Butler as like a bartender guy
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: who has he's friends with a mohawked Matt Smith.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: Matt Smith, not our friend from the Renaissance Festival, but
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: the doctor who Matt Smith.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, doctor who Matt Smith. So he's got a spikey
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: mohawk and he's a he's sort of a punk rocker type.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: And the plot, from what I can gather is that
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: Matt Smith's character is asking Austin Butler's character to look
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: after his place while he goes out of town. And
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: then it turns out that Matt Smith's character has run
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: a foul of multiple branches of organized crime, possibly stealing
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: from all of them, and now they all want to
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: call what's theirs due. I wrote that it looks like
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: if Guy Ritchie had directed The Big Lebowski.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it actually looks kind of fun there. There's a
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: lot of cute bits in the trailer. It also has
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: vaguely Keanu vibes because Austin Butler is watching Matt Smith's cat. Next,
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: we have a movie called Chief of War, which honestly
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: I confused with like an Amazon Prime show that came
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: out while.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: Again it is a series though kind of movie.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, Well, it's a trailer for a series called Chief
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: of War, which has to do with kind of the
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: Hawaiian history of colonization.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, unification and colonization. So it's set at the turn
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: of the eighteenth century. There's it's got a predominantly Polynesian cast,
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: which is great, and the lead is one of the
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: superstars of the silver screen, Bobafet Jason Momoa, I mean
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: Boba FET's also in it, yeah, but Jason Momoa is
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: obviously like the lead in it. So it comes out
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: on August first, twenty twenty five. We also have a
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: horror movie trailer that we got for Bark. Now, I
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: should say Bark actually came out way back in twenty
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: twenty three, but it had a very limited release. It's
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: now going to come out on digital video on demand
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: starting June thirteenth. The plot of Bark is that a
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: guy wakes up with his arms tied behind him around
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: a tree in the middle of the woods, and he
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: seems to be taunted by a mysterious figure. And the
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: guy doesn't have like he only has flashes of memory,
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: so he isn't even really sure why he's being treated
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: this way, and that's kind of how the film unravels.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: So it looks like a like a very low budget
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: horror movie, but hopefully one that's very thoughtful.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: I'm glad it wasn't about it wasn't just about dogs. Next,
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: we have Killing Mary Sue, which I honestly thought was
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: a Jay and Silent Bob movie at first, but it's not,
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: okay because Jay is in it. He plays mary Sue's dad.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: Yes, So it's about a young woman who when she
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: was a kid, her dad I think, gets killed in
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: a robbery attempt, like he's actually trying to rob a
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: place and gets killed in the process. Her mom remarries,
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: and the person she remarries ends up being a politician.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: At this point, he's a politician who's up for reelection.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: This young girl has grown up to be a young woman.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: She's rebellious, very punk rocker. Ish punk is having a comeback,
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: I guess, which is fine.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: I'm not against it.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: Neither of my I love punk rock. I just it's
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: just kind of funny to I'm like, we were flashing
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: back to like the nineties and getting into the two thousands,
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: but now we're going back to the seventies, okay anyway,
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: and eighties, seventies and eighties. So she she is kind
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: of like a rebellious punk type and her dad arranges
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: to have a hit step dad out on her stepdad.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: Her stepdad arranges to have a hit put out on
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: her so that he can get the sympathy vote, and
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: also she's just kind of a pain in his butt.
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: And then she proves herself to be quite adept at
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: surviving attacks from hired killers, which maybe that makes sense
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: because I mean, she is Mary Sue after all.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's got a kind of a kind of geeky cast.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: Martin Cove plays one of the bad guys who was
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: also Increase in Karate Kid, and French Stuart from Third
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: Rock from the Sun is in it, and then Sean
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: Patrick Flannery, which I swear he's done some geeky things. Oh,
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: he was in So three D.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: So this one. This one comes out June thirteenth on
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: digital platforms. It looks like it could be entertaining. I'm
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: sure it's the sort of thing, like it turns out
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: that she's really good at shooting people because she's good
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: at video games. But you're like, it's a movie called
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: Killing Mary Sue. Like, I think they're aware of what
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: they're doing.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's yeah, the concept of what you're saying is like,
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: it's the killing the concept of the Mary Sue.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: Well, I think what they're doing is they're lampshading, right,
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: They're saying, yeah, she's a Mary Sue. It's in the title,
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: Like if you come out saying it at the beginning,
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: then it takes away a lot of the power of
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: people who would use that as a criticism of the film,
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: like she's a Mary Sue. Like, yes, that's why her
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: name is Mary Sue. So you know, it's kind of
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: like that character is almost impossible to kill. Yes, that's
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: why we called him Superman. Anyway, our last one in
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: the doesn't actually fit. This one is the closest one
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: to fitting. I would think, well, because it's a horror
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: movie that has like some elements that could be natural,
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: you don't know if it's supernatural. I think it's actually
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: probably more psychological horror.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: I watched like a third two and a half of
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: this and then got too scared. But I put it
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: in for you.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: Oh gosh, I didn't think it was I think. I mean,
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: I think I'm interesting. So the movie is called The Home.
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: It has Pete Davison in it, who's playing a character
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: who's been sentenced to doing community service in our retirement home.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: It's a retirement home with a difference because this retirement
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: home has old people in it, and they, as you know,
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: are evil.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: Some of them, not all of them.
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: All of them are evil. All old people are evil.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: Good thing you and I aren't old.
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just wait, just wait for my birthday trip, because
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: once I turned fifty.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: That's not old. Sixty is the new forty. So you
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: still got at least ten more years. But it is
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: still a great milestone to celebrate. I am excited to
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: see Pete Davidson coming into his own I hope it
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: does really well. You watched one other giky thing this weekend.
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: I just or this week I just remembered what was
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: that Hard Eyes?
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: Oh? I did watch Hard Eyes? Yeah, yeah, I did.
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: I watched that last night. I forgot about that. I
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: don't know why that reminded you. I guess because it's
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: also a horror movie, but with comedians. Well, first, let
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: me say that that The Home comes out July twenty fifth.
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: It is from the creator of The Purge, which.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: Depending on how immediately scared.
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: Me, oh see, to me, I was like, I immediately
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: maybe go like, okay, well my expectations are lowered, but
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: that's because I did. I did not like The Purge
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: very much, but I know that it has a huge following.
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: So if you did like The Purge and no shade
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: on you. If you did, people like different things. If
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: you liked it, you might really like the home.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: I just it's the concept is too close to something
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: that could actually happen to make to make it be
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: anything that I could endure.
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: No, I can't ever imagine Pete Davison actually working in
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: a retirement home.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: I meant The Purge. But anyhow, back to Hard Eyes.
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, Hard Eyes. I thought it was okay. I you know,
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: Hard Eyes was an issue. I had like issues with
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: Hard Eyes, Like it was one of those hard It
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: was a horror movie that telegraphed one thing right away
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: to the point where I'm like, if this doesn't happen,
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: it's a violation of Chekhov's gun because they call it
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: out twice before it actually becomes maybe even three times
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: before it becomes a thing, which is not to give
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: any spoilers, but essentially it's a non weapon thing that
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: a character ultimately ends up using as a weapon to
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: rescue themselves at a pivotal moment in the movie, and
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: I'm like, that's gonna be the thing that kills the killer.
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: I was mostly right. I was wrong about who I
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: thought the killer was going to be. I had a
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: guess that ended up not being effective anyway, But it
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: was a very clever approach to figuring out, you know,
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: to to designating a killer. I thought it was fairly entertaining.
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: I the trappings of the film itself are such that
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: it kind of doesn't work for me, because it's it's
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: that super collapsed timeline where you have two characters meet,
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: have differences but ultimately fall for each other.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: It's making fun of a Hallmark movie.
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: For certain it is, but it's you know, it's trying
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: to be a romantic comedy and a slasher movie at
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: the same time, and it is dealing in the tropes
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: of both of those things. I thought it did the
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: horror movie part better, Like I mean, it was it
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: was making if you want to say it was making
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: fun of romantic comedies, then sure, yes it absolutely does.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: But if you were if you wanted to say it
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: was making fun of romantic comedies by also being you know,
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: h logically consistent, that's where I think it fell apart
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: from me. But I did still enjoy it.
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: Sorry, I mean, I think it just was a Hallmark
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: movie that was also a slasher I think. But I
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: was also glad to I saw it when it was
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: in theaters. I was glad too because Josh Ruben, who
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: I think is a funny guy, directed it, and I
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: know that he had been impacted by the wildfires.
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: So he also he also has a line in it. Yes,
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: he like he stands up at one moment and yells,
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: somebody called nine what what? And I'm like, oh, that
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: just took me out.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, you also had forgotten he directed it at
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: that I did.
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: I did.
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: I was so aware that I was like, of course
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: he's here.
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: I remember, well, like he did. I don't remember him
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: showing up in the Werewolf one that he also directed.
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: Maybe he did, I can't. I've only it's been a
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: while since I watched that one.
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: He played such a non character that it's no problem
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: him doing that.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: No, it just it was just one of those things
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: where he stood up. I like, hey, wait, is that
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: Josh Rubin. I'm like, oh, yeah, wait, dumb me. He
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: the one who directed this one. All right, well, let's
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: talk about some stuff that actually is on our lineup.
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: We've got quite a few things to talk about here.
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: The first of which is we got a trailer for
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: the prequel to it called it Welcome to Dairy.
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a prequel to it, but it just feels
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: like more it, I agreed, I guess unlike So like,
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: I did watch the first season of Castle Rock and
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: half of the second season, and the thing I liked
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: about it was that it took place in Castle Rock,
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: which is a place that shows up in a lot
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: of Stephen King stories. So all of those stories took
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: place in that town and had bits in there. But
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: it felt new, and it felt like a new exploration
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: and maybe some flushing out of other stuff and tying
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: it together. And I thought it was cool. I thought
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: it was well done this. I mean, the actors look good,
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: the special effects look good. It looks like it will
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: be scary to me, which is not saying much, but yeah,
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: it just it doesn't Maybe they will subvert my expectations,
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: but the trailer did not give me anything new to
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: look forward to.
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: Here's the thing that kind of blows my mind. So like,
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: in it, you find out that penny Wise essentially is
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: working on roughly thirty year cycles where penny Wise wakes
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: up feeds for some amount of time and then goes
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: into hibernation for like thirty years and then comes back. Thus,
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: in the two chapters of it that we got most recently,
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: you have the kids in the nineteen eighties and the
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: adults in present day, the same characters where thirty years
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: have passed. Essentially, this one looks like it's supposed to
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: be thirty years before that. So it's like in the fifties.
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: This is getting into the territory of when the original
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: novel version of it, when the kids would be acting, right,
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: because in the novel it was set in the nineteen
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: eighties and the backstory stuff was in the fifties with
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: the kids. So this just I agree with you. It
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: feels like more it. It feels like this is the
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: stuff that we would have gotten had the two chapters
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: of it been set in the eighties and fifties, as
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: the original novel had been. So it doesn't look bad,
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: don't get me wrong, but I do agree it looks
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: like more it. And also, I mean, since this does
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: appear to be a prequel to the movie version, we
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: already know penny Wise doesn't get killed at the end
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: because he's back in it chapters one and two, So
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: you know this is not going to end well for
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: any of those characters.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, maybe they'll all just get out.
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: But it comes out this fall. That's the that's the
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: timeline we were given on HBO Max, you know, the
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: thing that used to be HBO Max but then it
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: became Max and now it's HBO Max again.
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: It hasn't updated in my on my roku yet. But yeah,
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: also we got a foot We talked about the teaser
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: a little bit, but we got a full trailer for
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: Predator Killer of Killers, which is the animated predator kind
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: of anthology. It feels like they might be tying the
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: stories together.
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's hard to say. I like, it's hard
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: to imagine how the stories get tied together because they
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: are set in distinct time periods and locations and locations. Yes,
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: so one of them is like looks to be like
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: in feudal Japan. One is like the Viking era. I've
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: got a story about Vikings by the way today Okay,
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: all right, fine, not today, Satan and then, but it's
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: fair enough. And one of them looks like it's taking
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: place in World War two, I would imagine, so they
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: the animation styles are different for each of those entries
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: as well, So if there is like crossover. That'll be
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: really interesting because it's not a unified animation style across
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: the different entries. From what I can tell.
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: Two things. One, I love your story about Vikings. We're
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: just running late.
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: And then and it does take a very long time.
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: It does. And then two, I think I'm more interested
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: in this Predator Killer of Killers than I am in
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: Predator bad Lands.
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: Me too, Me too. This comes out June sixth, then
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: it'll be available on Hulu, so I'll actually be able
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: to watch it.
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I like that they're taking it in
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: a new direction. I hope it's good. He also got
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: trailer for season two of Fu Bar, which I forgot
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: was a thing until we got and I watched the
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: first season.
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. I was going to say nearly the
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: same thing, except I have not watched fu Bar, so
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: when this started, I thought it was a whole new thing.
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: Like I had forgotten that food Bar existed. I know
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: we've talked about it. I know we talked about but
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: I had no memory of it. I'm just like, oh,
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: this is like Red, you know, like you know the
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: movie Read with Bruce Willis, where he's not as good.
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: It's not as good, but it's it's a similar idea.
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: Like I think the first season was that Arnold Schwarzenegger
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: plays a CIA operative whose daughter is also a CIA operative,
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: but they haven't told each other that they are operatives.
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: Something like that.
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he really hasn't told his family and it weighs
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: on the family. But then she finds out and he
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: finds out. They both have they judge each other even
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: though they have similar relationship issues. Like conceptually, it's good
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: there there are there's some very dark stuff in there.
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: I didn't finish the's in one, but it had a
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: hard time finding a balance between the comedy and the action.
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: I feel like, yeah, like a slightly subpart nineties early
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: two thousand's sort of a thing. Part of it is
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: like fortune fimester Fimemster wasn't it and he her comedy
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: style just didn't fit with me like it was. It
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: was like, okay, now I'm going to drop a joke.
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: As opposed to feeling.
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: Well this season, it looks like I'll give you what
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: my impression is and you can tell me if I'm
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: just way off. It looks like it looks like Arnold
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: Schwarzenegger is living in a house filled with various like
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: secret operative agents who are all on essentially witness protection,
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: so they're not supposed to be known as secret. So
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: it's like it's like The Red but it's a retirement
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: home and everybody's a secret agent. And he he re
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: encounters a former spy for the East Germany played by
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: Carrie Ann Moss, and then the series looks like this
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: season looks like it plays out as sort of a
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: a frenemy situation between him and Carrie Anne Moss where
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: she's trying to destroy the world and he's trying to
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: stop her from destroying the world and they're both trying
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: to kind of get the get bizet with the other one.
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I honestly this is This is not to say
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: that Carrie N. Moss looks the same age as Angelica Houston,
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: but she was giving me a very Angelica Houston vibe.
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Trailer, Yeah, she looks great in the trailer, I'll
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: say it, she looks great. This comes out June twelfth
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: on Netflix, so you know, I'm probably not gonna watch
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: it because I haven't seen the first season and I
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: don't feel motivated to.
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, but it was cute.
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: It just wasn't great, gotcha? Okay. We also got a teaser,
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: a very short teaser for Zootopia too, which really a snake. Yeah.
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: It really just shows Judy Hops and Nick Wilde running
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: around with a snake and they're being chased by the cops.
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: So if I had to guess, I would say that
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: the snake is some sort of fugitive who has been
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: wrongly accused, and so Judy and Nick are trying to, yeah,
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: help him. Is the character? By the way, do you
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: know the character's name, the snake's name.
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know the snake's name.
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: It's Gary the Snake, Gary the Snake, Gary the Snake.
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: That's clever.
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: Ye, no, it's not. No, I had to say. I
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: had the same feeling of like they're they're protecting this
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: this snake.
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: For some reason.
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so he lost his grass. He's not a snake
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: in the grass.
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: Also, well, he's also the first reptile we've seen in Zootopia.
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: Like Zutopia is all mammals, Yeah, there's no non mammals
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: in Zootopia.
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: It's been a while since I've watched it. I couldn't.
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: So you remember sloths reptiles?
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: No, they are not sloths or mammals. Uh. But but
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: snakes don't have arms or left egs either, so it's
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: very weird to see a character with no arms or
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: legs in Zootopia because all the other animals obviously are anthropomorphic, right, So.
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: Which which I will share some additional thoughts.
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: Well, well, only two other little things. One is that
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: there's like a quick flash of different characters shown up
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: on screen for like a frame or two, and one
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: of them I noticed was Bell Weather, which was the
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: that's the secret villain from the first first film. So
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: she she she's shown in it, so she shows up again.
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: I'm great, that's great, and it comes out in November.
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah. We we also got a trailer for K Pop
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: Demon Hunters.
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I'm so glad you put this trailer
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: in here. I didn't know what to think when I
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: saw the title get K Pop Demon Hunters, and I'm like, oh, man,
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: she's gonna make me watch this, And then as soon
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: as it starts that was like, oh, I am one
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: thousand percent on board.
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So it's it's vaguely like honestly, i'd compare it
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: to like Gem and the Holograms a little bit.
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: I wrote down the same thing.
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: Where where it's it's a girl band and they fight,
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: I mean it's in the title they fight demons. The
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: fun bit is that the demons are the boy band.
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: They form a boy band and are attempting to steal
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: the fans of the girl band so that they can
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: drink the souls of the fans. And yeah, I thought,
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: I thought it looked like Gem and the Holograms if
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: Gem and the Holograms was a K pop band, and
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: I am here for it. It's done by the same
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: people who did the across the Spider Verse films and you.
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: Can tell, yes, which are all phenomenal.
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so both from an animation standpoint and the humor standpoint,
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: you can tell it's the same team.
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: That's what I was going to say, is like the
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: humor is it could be it could take itself too seriously,
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: It could fall too much into the tropes of of
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: like that sort of a storyline, But it feels the
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: trailer at least balances it very well.
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: There are a couple of moments that were giving me
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: serious like turning red vibes. Yes, yes, especially when like
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: fans are reacting to the pop stars. I can't wait
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: to show Beca this trailer. She's currently out of town,
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: so I have to wait till she gets back. I
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: am so excited to show it to her because I
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: know that come June twentieth, when it comes out, this
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: is what we are going to see.
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we also got a second trailer for Jurassic Park.
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: It does show us a little.
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: Bit ah Jurassic World.
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: Sorry, it's a Jurassic World.
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: Jurassic World Rebirth. I thought it was a Jurassic Park film. Like,
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: I didn't think it was Jurassic World. I thought it
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: was another Jurassic Park movie.
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: Me too.
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: It is Jurassic World Rebirth. And as soon as I
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: read the title and I was like, I was having
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: that Mandela effect where I was like, no, I'm sure
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: this was a Jurassic Park movie. It says Jurassic World.
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: My expectation sank so far when I realized it was
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: Jurassic World.
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: I think the reason why our brains did that, like
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: were I to posit A guess is that I'm using
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: all these big words today and I'm tired, so they
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: may not make any sense. Please forgive me if that's
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: the case. To make it where I to make a
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: guess I would say that though it is a Jurassic
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: World movie, we think it's a Jurassic Park movie because
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: they keep advertising that they're going back to the original,
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: like they're really trying to get that same feel across.
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: But I have here's my thoughts on this. Yea, whatever
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: the new content they show us, they have already missed
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: the mark. Maybe I am certainly acting will be great,
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: maybe the story will even be good. But part of
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: the brilliance of the original Jurassic Park. We've talked about
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: this before was the blend of practical effects with CGI,
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: so that even to this day it is it is
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: hard to tell where that line is. But in this
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: trailer for Jurassic World Rebooth Boot Rebooth Rebirth, Rebirth Trailer two,
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: they are all very at least most of them are
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: very apparently CGI. So they've already missed.
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: The mark visually. Beyond beyond that, I'm sorry, Hollywood. I'm
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: sorry that dinosaurs aren't cool enough for you to just
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: represent dinosaurs and have that be awesome. I'm sorry that
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: somehow the wonder and awe of the thought of encountering
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: a real world dinosaur is not enough, so you have
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: to go and make mutant, weird dinosaurs, including the Big
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: Bad which is called distort Us rex and looks like
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: a It looks like t Rex and xenomorph got got
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: into it and had babies.
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: That is true. Like I couldn't tell it was a
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: dinosaur at first. I was like, what the crap is
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: this thing? But that's the thing. Is like, Okay, you're
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: going back to the original where dinosaurs were cool enough
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: and you used practical effects, except for you're not using
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: You're using CGI dinosaurs. And every subsequent movie that has
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: had the Big Bad beat a new kind of mutated
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: dinosaur has not done well. So you did not learn
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: your lesson.
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, but I could be wrong.
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: I hope I'm wrong.
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: I listen I knowing that this is a sequel to
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: the Jurassic World franchise, which I have no interest in.
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: I don't. I never bothered watching the Jurassic World movies
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: because frankly, they just looked like they did not appeal
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: to me. I'm not going to go out and say
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: they're bad movies. I'm saying I would not have found
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: them entertaining, so I didn't watch them, and now I
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: don't want to watch this one because I know it's
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: a continuation of that storyline, which frankly I found stupid.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: So I enjoyed the first Jurassic World movie. It was fine.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: It wasn't Jurassic Park, but it was fine. I was
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: as close to Jurassic Park, I think as they have gotten.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: So I did enjoy Jurassic World. I didn't enjoy the
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: subsequent Jurassic World. And I never watched Domination because they
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: did not give t Rex a top hat and monocle.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: But the one thing about this trailer that I was curious,
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: and I probably could have looked it up to know,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: but I was honestly too lazy and busy, was that
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: they show a bunch of kids that they encounter in
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: the park. So are they tying in the cartoon?
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: It's it's a family that has shipwrecked on the outskirts
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: of the island. Because I looked, I looked up a
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: synopsis for like just a description of the movie, right
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: because obviously the film hasn't come out yet, so there's
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: not like a full synopsis, but there was just like
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: a kind of log line sort of thing. A couple
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: of other things I want to point out. So this
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: also goes back to Hard Eyes, believe it or not.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: One thing I found amusing in Hard Eyes is that
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: they have two cops in the film, one called Hobbes
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: and the other one called Shaw, and they do make
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: a Hobbs and Shaw joke like, oh, you mean like
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: the movie, and the two cops look at each other
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: as if to say, like, there's a movie. Well. It's
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: also funny because one of the actors, the actress who
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: played Shaw, was in the Fast and Furious series. But anyway,
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: in this one, in Jurassic World Rebirth, there's a character
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: named Henry Loomis, and I'm wondering if that Loomis name
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: is supposed to be a reference to the Loomis character
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: from Halloween that's Donald Pleasant's character, although that character's Samuel
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: Loomis different first name, but like doctor Loomis is like
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: a central character in the early Halloween films. And meanwhile,
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: there's another character named Duncan Kincaid, and I'm wondering if
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: that is a reference to Detective Mark Kincaid, a character
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: from the Scream franchise.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: Not Thomas Kinkaid who put light into it.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, you could it could be Thomas Kincaid as well.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: But I was just thinking, like, if you're already referencing potentially,
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: if you're already potentially referencing one slasher film, maybe you're
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: also referencing another slasher film.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: Maybe The next thing that we got was, and I
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: put this in quote, a teaser.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's being super man super generous. With teaser.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: We saw a screen shot with.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: Some noise, a panning screenshot of a church with like
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: bells chiming, with the final bell being extended and distorted
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: over time, and also a quote which was the wicked
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: desire the stronghold of evil doers, but the root of
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: the righteous endoors. So there you go, comes out this fall.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: That's it. I mean, I do like both knives Out
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: and glass Onion, so I am looking forward to this.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: But I like knives Out more than glass. Like Glass Onion,
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: I enjoyed while I was watching it. The more I
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: thought about it, the more I was like, well, that's
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: just dumb.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: But that's how I felt when I watched Titanic as
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: a teenager.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, except, yeah, okay, that's fair. Just wait for
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: Titanic too. So I won't.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: I will not.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: You can't make me there's a little little side trail
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: which will be super short here. Red Letter Media just
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: put up a video recently about the use of AI,
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: and in particular using AI to generate trailers, either trailers
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: for movies that don't exist or fake trailers for upcoming
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: movies that haven't released a trailer yet, which obviously we've
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: run into in the show, and one of the things
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: I talked about is, like the glut of fake trailers,
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: there are for a sequel to Titanic in which Leoonardo
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: DiCaprio's character somehow survives.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: I enjoyed Titanic the first time I watched it. I
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: went back to watch it a second time in the
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: theater and left going, this is such a stupid story.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: I nearly walked out on it, and I was in
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: a plane when I saw it.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you you were able.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: To to resist the urge to resist.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: Yes, the next thing we got maybe this one. I
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: don't know. I feel like this fits.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, No, this totally fits.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, it fits so much.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: Ariel that I also added it to the timeline at
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: the end, but then realized after I was going back
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: through the timeline you had already put it in there.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, it's a trailer for a movie called Good Fortune,
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: which is about Keanu Reeves is kind of a bumbling
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: angel who's looking for purpose in life and ends up
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: trying to help Aziz and Sorry and Seth Rogen as characters,
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: not as themselves.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the idea being that that up to this point,
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: Keanu Reeves's angel is he Gabriel I can't remember, but anyway,
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: his angel character has been getting pretty lame assignments of
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: like preventing people from texting, while that's been his big thing,
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: and he wants to actually help a lost soul find
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: its way to heaven and he thinks he's found one
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: in as He's and Sorry's character, and Seth Rogan is
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: also aware that Kila Reeves's character is an angel. It's
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: got Kicky Palmer in it as well. It comes out
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: this fall, and I will say the end gag which
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: is pretty filthy, but the endgag of this trailer made
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: me laugh.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: Was it with Keanu Reeves and a woman actress?
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: It was with Seth Rogan and a woman actress?
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, Seth. The woman actress I believe is Sherry Cola,
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: who is a hilarious comedian. She's a friend of Taylor Tomlinson.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: So she shows up on After Midnight here and then
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: here and now and then and all that good stuff.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: She's very funny and like, I will watch it for
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: her alone.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: So yeah, this looks this looks pretty funny. I'm glad
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: that we added it.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: It looks like as if. Now I didn't watch either
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: of these movies, but like, Keanu Reeves played Constantine in a.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: Movie, right yep, which is a great movie, by the way.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: I mean it's not great. Great is too strong a word.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: I really like Constantine. There are some very uh there's
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 2: some very big choices being made in that movie, gotcha.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: Gotcha. Well I haven't seen it, but to me, it's like, okay,
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: well they took because he's played an angel before, so
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: they just took Constantine and they gave it the bill
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: and ted treatment.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: Well, Constantine's not an angel though.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: Now he's he's the guy from the comics.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, he's he's a he's a he's a character
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: who gets caught up in angels and demons and stuff.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: But he himself, he himself is not an angel. Oh No,
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: he's no angel.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: He's no angel.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: You should you should take time to watch Constantine, because
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: I think there's certainly likes. Is it Scarsguard? Who's in that?
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: There's no, No, it's not Scars Guard. I can't remember
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: the act one. It's not it doesn't matter, it's none
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: of them. Uh, it's it's a different it's a different actor.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: I can't remember his name, but he plays the devil.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 2: He's so good in it. Till the Swinton is in it.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: She's fantastic in it. Like there's some great performances, and
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: they are. They are making big, big, bold choices and
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 2: that's story, Peter storm Mayer, that's it, thank you. They're
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: making huge, bold choices, and that's what I love about it.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: It's like these are not they're not playing it subtle.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: So I feel like this was on in the background
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: and I was in the room for it, but I
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: didn't pay attention to it.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: You should. You should watch it. I really think it's not.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, it gets a little gouey at times, you know,
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: like it's a little it's a little demony and gooey
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: and sometimes a little gory, but it's not. I don't
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: think it's beyond your threshold necessarily, and don't don't go
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: in expecting like a fantastic, brilliant movie. It's just I
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: think it's really entertaining.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: I liked the Constantine TV show. I like Constantine as
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: a character in the DC universe. But okay, I will
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: give it another shot. But not everything is getting another shot.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: So before we get to our last trailer, it was
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: recently announced that Wheel of Time has been canceled after
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: its season three, which many people think is the best season,
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: and Collider came out with an article saying that it
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: looks like it's the end for a high budget fantasy
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: TV shows because exception of I guess Rings of Power,
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: a lot of these fantasy TV shows have been canceled.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: I I watched the first two seasons of Wheel of Time,
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: and it was convoluted and unless you're a fan of
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: the books, and even sometimes then even if you are,
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: it's too much to follow. Like my watch group consider
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: watching season three, and so many of us are like, well,
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: we couldn't tell you what happened in the first two
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: seasons because there's too many characters, there's too much going on.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: I feel like it's less like the problem is these
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: high fantasy, high budget shows that are getting canceled, aren't
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: that great?
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: Well? I also think it's unrealistic to say that because like,
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: isn't House of the Dragon still going?
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: I think so?
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: So, I mean, like that's that's high fantasy, that's Game
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 2: of Thrones, Like you've got that, You've got the Harry
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: Potter series that hasn't even come out yet. Uh, that's
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 2: gonna be on on masks, like gonna be high budget, right, Like,
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: like I think I think this is I think it's
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: I think making that conclusion is wrong. I don't think
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: this is the end for big budget fantasy series. I
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: think like we do have some that are coming to
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 2: a close. Like The Sandman obviously is not coming back
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: because of issues with Neil Gaman, so after season two
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: that's done.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: And they also talk about talk about like The Witcher
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: being canceled, and part of that is because what's his
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: face left, Henry Cavill.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: Henry Cavill. But I think it was my understanding that
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 2: that was always planned to be like three seasons or
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: something like. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm misremembering, but it's
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: like some of these I don't think are being canceled
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 2: so much as they are hitting the end of their
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 2: stories and others I think are I just think it's
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 2: premature to say, oh, whell of Times, because I don't
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 2: think wal of Time was like a tent pole fantasy
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 2: series like I would. I would put that on Game
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: of Thrones or Harry Potter.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: And it also like so the production value was very high,
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: great special effects, beautiful costuming. It it gave me sci
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: fi vibes, like yeah, because the story was again do.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 2: You mean sci fi is in science fiction? Or sci
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: fi channel?
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: Siphy ciffy the channel. Because the story was just okay,
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: it was kind of hard to follow, and a lot
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: of the actors they had not just iPhone face, but
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: iPhone personality. Are you familiar with that? No, it's a
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: phrase that kind of briefly made the circuit where it's like,
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: you don't look like you can belong in any era
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: except for the current one. Like me, I don't have
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: an iPhone face. I look like I belong in a
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: different time period. Half the time. I am a great
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: period actor because you look at me and you go, oh, yeah,
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: I could see them in medieval times, I could see
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: them in a fantasy world. I could see them in
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: the fifties because I just have this that look. There
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: are some people who look so modern, like current cheerleader
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: kind of and that's not a bad look, but that look,
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: in that kind of personality, if you put it into
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: a fantasy or a sci fi show, takes me right out.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: It's the same issue I had with a lot of Stargate.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: I enjoyed the mood, I love the Stargate movie. I
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: enjoyed the show, but a lot of like the alien
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: actors were so Hollywood and so modern that it just
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: I didn't feel like they fit.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, yeah, I think that the conclusion is faulty,
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: but it is. You know, we never like to see
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: shows get canceled or fail to renew or whatever, even
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: if we're not really into them, unless it's a show
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: that's like promoting something that is just you know, outright
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 2: harmful or whatever. So if you were a big Wheel
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 2: of Time fan, our condolences to you and your time
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 2: of loss. Some other shows that also have either concluded
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: or are being canceled after the season, that include A
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 2: Night Court had three seasons and now it's it's canceled.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: So it's it's not just it's not just fantasy.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: That's rough for me because I was actually toward like seasons.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: I was sad to see the prosecutor go because I
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: thought she was great, even even though like a lot
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: of the material they gave her wasn't that good. I
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 2: thought she was very funny, and so I was sad
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: to see her go. But uh, you know the folks
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: that came in were great too, h I was enjoying it.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 2: Enjoying it is such a strong word actually, which is
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 2: pathetic to say that, but but I was. I I could,
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: I could justify its existence like like it wasn't just like, well,
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 2: there's half an hour of my life I'll never get back.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 2: Like there'd usually be a gag or two where I
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: was like, Okay, that was pretty clever. There's way too
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: much laugh track in that show to make it really work.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: But Sandman, like I mentioned, Frasier is not getting renewed. Uh,
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: Stranger Things is concluding Squid Game, Cobra Kai obviously, Handmaid's Tail,
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: and Door. They're all wrapping up. So nice he got me. Uh,
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: usually I'm the one who does that to you.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: I did that joke two weeks ago, but we'll pretend
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: I didn't.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: So uh so, yeah, I think, uh, you know, it's
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: just the at least for those last ones I mentioned,
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: it's that the stories were concluding. It wasn't that, you know,
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: for whatever reason, they get Copper.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: Kai had the kids were growing up. I think you
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: did the joke to me two weeks.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 2: I did well, I said, I said, I'm sorry, what
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: was that Star Wars one? And you said and or?
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 2: But then if why?
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: How? Yeah? So sorry, it's going to get old eventually.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: Uh. Maybe what I'm more awake last up, we I
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 2: keep saying that I'm going to avoid inserting trailers where
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: it's just another trailer for something we've already talked about.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 2: We've already talked about a trailer. But we got a
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: final trailer for eloh uh, and I think it's like
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: the one that gives us the biggest look at what
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: the narrative is. And it just it's very cute.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: It is it looks like he's being this. I didn't
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: know from the first time. Maybe I wasn't paying attention,
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: but from the first two trailers I didn't realize he
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: was being sending sent to like a boarding or a military.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: School or I think it's a summer camp.
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: Okay, he's one of those things.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 2: He's being sent. It's not like a military school or
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 2: boarding school. I think what it is is that Ilio
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 2: is kind of like an outcast, outsider type, and so
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: he is being sent to summer camp in an attempt
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 2: to have him make friends with other kids his age. Yeah,
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 2: and he just wants to be abducted by aliens, which
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 2: then he is, I mean.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: As a geek, well as a kid. First of all,
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: I grew up in the era where like alien alien
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: stuff was super popular. Like if you look at nineties
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: and early two thousands, a lot of people were in
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: little Green alien heads and it wasn't necessarily stoner culture
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: at that time.
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 2: You mean the the Futurama brain slugs.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: Kind of no, like the actual little Green.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: Oh, the Daly Bumpers.
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but like my friends and I always joked that
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: we were really aliens because as a kid, you feel
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: so out of place. But most kids do not, not all,
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: some kids are very popular and feel like they fit in,
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: but I bet deep down they also feel out of place.
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: So like, it's such a relatable feeling to be like,
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: I'd rather be abducted by aliens because I want to
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: be run a bunch of weirdos, and then beyond that,
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: we're geeks. We are the weirdos, or.
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 2: We were we were, Yeah, and now everyone's a geek
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 2: and now we're all talk about that. Yeah. I was
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: about to say, like, I guess, I guess it's kind
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 2: of like The Incredibles. Once everyone becomes weird, nobody is Yeah. Yeah,
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: I uh, I think this. The trailer looks cute, Like
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: there's more cute moments between him and the alien who
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: uh is the offspring of the antagonist character, who is
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 2: just very silly, uh, very Pixar, Like, it's very Pixar
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: if you watch this, But that's not a bad thing.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: It looks like it's a fun Pixar one. Like I'll
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: say this, this trailer worked for me way better than
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: the trailers for say, Elemental did or even even an
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: Inside Out too.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: I Yeah, I feel like I know what the story is,
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: and I feel like it's not a story that's necessarily
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: been rehashed fifty times.
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's one that I feel like I
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 2: can already tell where it's gonna go from the beginning,
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: but it looks like it'll be an entertaining ride to
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: get there, so Yeah, I enjoyed it. It comes out
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: June twentieth, and yeah, that's it. That's our last that's
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: our last one. Even with all that, our lineup was
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: so long, y'all. I thought this was gonna be an
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 2: hour and forty five minute long episode.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: Goodness, it's not because I made us start late.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so we we're going to wrap this up.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So my question for you, Jonathan, Yeah, if you
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: could be no, how do people how do people attempt
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: to contact you?
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 2: Well, you're gonna have to go to summer camp. Now,
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: when you get to summer camp, you're gonna be chased
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 2: around by a maniac wearing a mask with hearts for eyes,
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 2: and you're gonna have to run from this maniac. And
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 2: eventually you're gonna come across a camp counselor and you're
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 2: asleep right there in the camp, and you're gonna have
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 2: to try and wake up this camp counselor. This camp
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 2: counselor is gonna seem like, you know, all life has
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 2: left them already, but it hasn't. They're alive, they're just
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 2: really asleep. You just gon have to be like, wake up,
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 2: dead man, wake up. And once the counselor is awake.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: They're gonna explain that they can't actually help you. You're
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 2: gonna have to try and help yourself. So you're gonna
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: be on the run and you're gonna be like, you
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 2: can't help me at all, and like, yeah, I know,
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. It's fubar, and you're just gonna make a
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 2: dash as fast as you can toward the other end
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 2: of the camp that's gonna take you right through the
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 2: petting zoo, which, for reasons I don't understand, in this
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: particular camp, it's all animals that walk around on hind
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 2: legs and talk to each other and give each other
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: a hard time. You're gonna have to make your way
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: through them. And it's weird because the last couple of
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 2: animals you're gonna squeeze past are our cows that are
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 2: guarding a building, you know, the dairy. But then they'll
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: eventually say welcome to the dairy, and you'll be able
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: to go into the dairy. There you're gonna see someone
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 2: setting up a television and a shelf. They're really just there.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: They're making this their their place of residence. You know.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: It's it's it's just it's Pete Davison, You're just like,
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 2: just make yourself at home, and he's like, dude, I
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: am already there. You're gonna try to get through the
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: door and you just can't because it's locked. You're gonna turn,
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 2: You're gonna see a key sitting on a side table.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 2: You're gonna grab it. Pete Davison saying, hey, you've been
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 2: caught stealing, but you don't care. You just grab that key,
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: you unlock it, open the door, rush out. That's when
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 2: you're grabbed by the tractor beam and beamed up into
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: the alien vessel, whereupon you are jetted off to a
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 2: galaxy far far away. And when you get there, you'll
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 2: see that I'm also there. I'm in a cage. I'm
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 2: not having a good time. But you can ask me
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 2: your question, and I mean, what else am I gonna do?
