• 2:07
  Speaker 5: Ta-da! um i did watch a a movie.

• 2:20
  Speaker 4: don't know it's in in the geek circles it's got
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: a pretty big following it's it's sort of a way
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: of doing a zombie movie it's pontypool pontypool yeah it's
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: actually out of ontario and it's pretty well put together
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: i have to say it's It's maybe high-level independent film.
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: I mean, they've got a decent amount of backing. It
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: looks great. They've got real actors.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: But, yeah, they found a way to do it on
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: a pretty limited budget, and it's pretty amazing to watch.
• 2:48
  Speaker 7: Is it a different take on the whole zombie genre, hopefully?
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: Definitely.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: So, yeah, I don't know if maybe too many people
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: have addressed it, because I know Misty was up for
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: watching it. So if anybody out there listening wants us
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: to watch it, I'm definitely up for doing a whole
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: show on it.
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: But I didn't know.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: I've already heard a few shows talk about it, so
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: I didn't know if it was overplayed at this point.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Gotcha, gotcha.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: I'll leave it up to you guys and everybody here
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: if we actually want to sit down and do a
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: show on it.
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: It's pretty awesome. I'm down.
• 3:17
  Speaker 7: I've never even heard of it.
• 3:18
  Speaker 8: Did you find it at Wild and Mully?
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's out on DVD already. It's been
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: out for a while, again, in Canada, so I know
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: people had different copies from Like, the international version where
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: they were getting a hold of. But, yeah, I think
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: it's on DVD. Actually, it was on cable this past weekend.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: I guess it just made its way to one of
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: the channels.
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: What channel was it on? I think it was one
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: of the.
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: I think it was, like, the movie channel. The leftover
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: version of the movie channel, which I'm surprised still exists
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: at this point, but... yep yeah i was yeah once
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: i saw what's coming on i was like okay now
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: i'm watching this so because i've been wanting to see
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: it forever so that that was awesome let's see i
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: did watch a miami medical which i didn't that's what
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: i'm saying i don't even think i realized it was
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: a show but i saw that it was getting ready
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: to come on and they showed them rolling an alligator
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: into the hospital on a gurney and i was like
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: okay i might have to see where the hell they're
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: going with this That part was pretty cool.
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: There's a gator. He attacks people.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: He ends up taking people out. Wait, in the hospital?
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: No, this was, they were golfing and like, oh, you're
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: at a water hazard and the gator comes up and
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: attacks people. So, yeah, the gator part was awesome. But
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: as I watched the show, I was like, this is
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: the most forgettable show. Like, I could care less about
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: any of these characters. It's like, it's just another one
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: of those interchangeable medical shows.
• 4:38
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, if it makes it past, they'll probably renew it
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: for next season, but if it makes it past that,
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: I'll be surprised because it's just completely forgettable.
• 4:48
  Speaker 7: Didn't Stephen King have that one medical supernatural hospital type show?
• 4:54
  Speaker 7: Was it actually a show? Was it sci-fi?
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think so. I thought it was more like a.
• 5:01
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I didn't know if it was a mini-series.
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: I thought it was a mini-series. I'm like, because that
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: seems like it'd be a cool concept. I don't think
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: it was well-received either way.
• 5:09
  Speaker 7: People just want the cut-and-dried cookie, like, I just want
• 5:13
  Speaker 7: another frickin' ER or something.
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah. It's like, what about something a little different?
• 5:16
  Speaker 10: No.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: No, which is what this wants to be, but yeah,
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: it doesn't have any characters you really care about at all.
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it'll be awesome. Except for the alligator. Yeah, I
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: like the gator. That was the only reason I watched it.
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: I was like, I like gators.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: Rupert.
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: Here's the alligator from Eaten Alive.
• 5:31
  Speaker 9: Actually, in Florida, alligators aren't even as big of a
• 5:34
  Speaker 9: problem now as the snakes are.
• 5:37
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 5:37
  Speaker 8: Which is funny.
• 5:39
  Speaker 9: I didn't watch this, but apparently it was on the
• 5:40
  Speaker 9: Discovery Channel over the weekend. Someone was telling me about
• 5:43
  Speaker 9: how they watched it and how the snakes are an
• 5:45
  Speaker 9: epidemic in Florida.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Snakes.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Anyway.
• 5:49
  Speaker 12: Snakes.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: So, yeah, as you noticed when we sat down in
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: the studio here, the only other thing I did was
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: I did a little bit of painting yesterday.
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: Which is looking good, looking better.
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: It's slow progress.
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: That's okay. And I hate it.
• 6:01
  Speaker 7: Because it's all that trim stuff that's not easy.
• 6:04
  Speaker 8: Do you have a trim roller brush?
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: No. Yeah, they're sweet.
• 6:08
  Speaker 8: It really helps.
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: You don't want to kill yourself. So, yeah, I hate it.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: So the only thing that sort of made it tolerable was,
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: once again, throw on some more Veronica Mars. But, and
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: I want to go into that because I go into
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: that every week. But what I wanted to go into
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: is they were episodes that, back to back, starred both
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: of the kids.
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: Well, it didn't star.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: Featured both of the older kids from fucking Home Improvement. Now, yeah,
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: it was the Zachary Ty Bryan was in one and
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: the next episode, Jonathan Taylor Thomas was in. And I
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: was like, well, then I started thinking, I was like,
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: but I remember when I'm back a million years ago,
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: the sad part is Smallville was still on then. They
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: were on Smallville, too, like separate episodes, but they were
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: both on there in the span of about two seasons.
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: I'm like, do they have the same agent? Like, who
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: the hell books these same two kids for the same
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: stupid shows?
• 6:58
  Speaker 9: I think maybe JTT just can't handle that Zachary Ty Bryant.
• 7:02
  Speaker 7: Or whatever his name is.
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: I guess.
• 7:05
  Speaker 8: Gets work, and he's like, I'm gonna do this dude, motherfucker.
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: Fucking asshole.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:09
  Speaker 7: Because, like, they're constantly competing.
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: I guess so. I don't understand.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: But that led me to my other point, which I
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: want to pose this to you guys and to everyone.
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: Okay. What the hell happened to JTT?
• 7:20
  Speaker 8: I mean, I was in love with him when I
• 7:22
  Speaker 8: was in, like, fourth grade.
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: But just, like, career-wise.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: I mean, if ever there was somebody who was poised
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: to take over the world, like, of Hollywood at least.
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: I mean, he was the biggest star in the world. Yeah.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: He was on this primetime hit show. He left that
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: to go do movies. He was the hottest young actor
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: in the world and just gone.
• 7:40
  Speaker 8: He stayed only five feet tall.
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah. I think that.
• 7:44
  Speaker 7: I mean, is he really a good actor? I never
• 7:47
  Speaker 7: really got that he... you know because the the child
• 7:51
  Speaker 7: actor they grow up and what can make and break
• 7:54
  Speaker 7: them is their cuteness like if they keep their childish
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: looks that helps them but if you like turn into
• 8:00
  Speaker 7: kind of like the the wonder years kid then it
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: doesn't help and it's kind.
• 8:05
  Speaker 13: Of like i mean he's a successful producer yeah but
• 8:08
  Speaker 13: he's not an actor anymore you know most of them
• 8:10
  Speaker 13: move behind the scenes yeah yeah they realize ron howard
• 8:13
  Speaker 13: was right i should get back here and start doing
• 8:15
  Speaker 13: stuff behind.
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: The camera see and i didn't i don't i mean
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: did JTT? I don't even think he goes by that anymore.
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: I think now he's just Jonathan Thomas. Oh, Thomas.
• 8:25
  Speaker 9: In fifth grade, I had a calendar that said JTT.
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: I'm sure it did. He was banking on that JTT thing.
• 8:35
  Speaker 8: Pictures of him.
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: He had that big.
• 8:37
  Speaker 7: bowl cut feathered whatever it was monstrosity yeah they.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: All kind of did all three of those kids were
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: fucking weird looking back in the day.
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: But yeah i i just figured that he didn't make
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: the the transition from child actor to grown-up like actor
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: for whatever reason.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: But not for that reason because i've seen him and
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: stuff as he's gotten older he still kind of looks
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: the same it's not like he got horribly awkward like
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: he just looks like an older version of himself did
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: he get into drugs I.
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: Actually checked today.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: I was like, well, maybe he's just working and I'm
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: just not watching the shit. No, the last big thing
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: he was on was that episode of Veronica Mars. And
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: that was like 2005.
• 9:14
  Speaker 8: Maybe he's an accountant.
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: He did a voiceover for something and then hadn't done anything, period,
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: since 2006. I'm just like, wow. To be the biggest
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: up-and-coming star and then just disappear.
• 9:28
  Speaker 7: That big of a gap between work i think he's
• 9:31
  Speaker 7: pretty much like doomed like i.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: Don't know i blame it on i'll be home for
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: christmas i don't know i'm.
• 9:38
  Speaker 8: Sure in a couple of years we'll see a where
• 9:40
  Speaker 8: are they now.
• 9:40
  Speaker 9: Special yeah yeah and we'll find out about his life.
• 9:44
  Speaker 7: It'll be really sad if it's not even drugs or
• 9:46
  Speaker 7: anything he just he just stopped doing things i remember.
• 9:51
  Speaker 9: Like watching that a couple years ago and a lot
• 9:54
  Speaker 9: of people which i mean most of them still are
• 9:56
  Speaker 9: just like failed actors yeah the kid from uh willie
• 10:00
  Speaker 9: wonka in the chocolate factory he became a veterinarian.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: Which i mean that's fine you can get to that
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: point but that's usually for like lesser stars like the Dude,
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: that was a huge movie. Like the DJ kid from Roseanne.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: He's not a big star now, but you know what?
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: He was DJ on Roseanne. So I can see him
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: just sort of fading into the background there.
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: Didn't he get into drugs? I don't think so.
• 10:21
  Speaker 8: No, he got married.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: He's just got kids now and he's just a dad.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: Which is fine if they want to do that. But
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: it's like JTT was the Zac Efron of the 90s.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: He was poised to take over Hollywood.
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: And just, yeah, wild America. That was it. He was gone.
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: I mean.
• 10:38
  Speaker 9: It's Stephanie from Full House that got hooked on meth.
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: Oh, that's right. Yeah, that's right. Stupid bitch. And she
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: supplied it to the Olsen twins.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: God, I hated her.
• 10:49
  Speaker 9: The Olsen, one of the, it's weird the Olsen twins
• 10:51
  Speaker 9: don't work together anymore.
• 10:52
  Speaker 12: I don't know.
• 10:53
  Speaker 8: Do they like hate each other now?
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Probably.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: I mean, if you were stuck with somebody that much
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: your entire life.
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: And that you dress like them all the time.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: And you were like, then synonymously known. You know, there
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: is no version of you. It's just the twins.
• 11:05
  Speaker 7: You don't have a singular identity. I think that would
• 11:08
  Speaker 7: kind of wear on you after a while.
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: Probably.
• 11:11
  Speaker 9: I don't remember what movie it was for, but I
• 11:14
  Speaker 9: saw a cast list of some movie that's coming out soon.
• 11:19
  Speaker 8: And it's one of the Olsen twins.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: Just one of them. I think one of them is
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: doing a lot more. One of them moved into modeling
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: and is getting stuff. So I don't know if she's
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: the one that's acting now, too. But, yeah, the other one, like,
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: didn't want anything to do with it.
• 11:28
  Speaker 9: I mean, they have billions of dollars they don't really
• 11:31
  Speaker 9: need to do.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah. They shouldn't have to work the rest of their
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: lives unless somebody screws them out of all their money.
• 11:35
  Speaker 7: Well, I think that's cool. You know, they're kind of
• 11:37
  Speaker 7: doing their own thing. Like, you know, why should you
• 11:40
  Speaker 7: have to do the same thing that your twin or
• 11:43
  Speaker 7: whatever does? But, you know, I don't understand because I'm
• 11:45
  Speaker 7: not one of those twin people. Their minds work differently.
• 11:49
  Speaker 7: Always like, yeah, that kind of, like, I don't know,
• 11:52
  Speaker 7: connective thought process or whatever.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Maybe.
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: I don't know. It's all very technical.
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: So, yeah, that was just, it was barely tied to
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: what I watched this week. But it brought that up today.
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: The more I thought about it, I was like, seriously, like,
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: that's sad how big he was to go to gone,
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: just fucking wiped off the entertainment world.
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: It's like, that's crazy.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: So, yeah, that was pretty much me.
• 12:15
  Speaker 9: That movie that has Howie Mandel and Fred Savage.
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: No, Little Monsters.
• 12:21
  Speaker 8: I fucking love that movie.
• 12:23
  Speaker 9: It was on regular TV over the weekend.
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: I just didn't like Howie Mandel even then.
• 12:28
  Speaker 8: Dude, I love that movie. It's a great movie. He's
• 12:30
  Speaker 8: just annoying.
• 12:31
  Speaker 9: They, like, put saran wrap over a toilet seat and, like,
• 12:34
  Speaker 9: peanut butter on a phone.
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: It's brilliant.
• 12:36
  Speaker 8: It's a brilliant movie.
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: I don't know if those were original, but yeah, kids
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: probably thought that was pretty damn fine.
• 12:45
  Speaker 7: I mean, well, funny, kind of in that vein, the
• 12:47
  Speaker 7: only thing I really watched this week was and It
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: is a movie that my girlfriend has, and I was like,
• 12:55
  Speaker 7: I can't believe you have this, and she loves it.
• 12:59
  Speaker 7: And I saw it when it came out way, way, way, way,
• 13:01
  Speaker 7: way back when it came out in theaters.
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: Super Mario Brothers. I love Super Mario Brothers.
• 13:06
  Speaker 7: It's one of the worst movies ever in the world.
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: I own it, thank you very much. It has nothing
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: to do with the game.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Minimal.
• 13:15
  Speaker 7: And even the movie itself doesn't. doesn't really have... It
• 13:20
  Speaker 7: doesn't flow. The ideas don't connect.
• 13:24
  Speaker 8: It has Dennis Hopper and Mojo Nixon.
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: I think it kind of does. It was one of those.
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: Again, on the back of my mind, I was up
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: for watching, so if you're up for it, hey, I'll
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: do a whole damn show about it.
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: I don't know. I just saw it. We can put
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: it off a little while.
• 13:39
  Speaker 7: I just enjoyed Yoshi. When Yoshi showed up, I was like, oh,
• 13:42
  Speaker 7: that has to be Yoshi. He shot his little tongue out,
• 13:44
  Speaker 7: and I was like, Yoshi! But other than that.
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: No, I was all about.
• 13:48
  Speaker 7: Oh, I want to freaking kill myself.
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: No, I was all about the princess. Multiple times.
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: Samantha Mathis, I had a thing for her anyway, so.
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: What happened to her? Didn't she disappear? That's another one.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: Well, she was in a lot of stuff for a while, though.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: She at least had a decent run and was almost
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: getting like... big, like big budget projects and then just
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: sort of disappeared. And again, I think it was just
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: like age. Like you get to that point where once
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: you hit 30, especially as a girl in movies, it's
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: like you either become the mom roles or.
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: You go, you know what? I'm kind of done with acting.
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: So I think that's what hurt.
• 14:17
  Speaker 7: Or you show your business and let, you know, that'll
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: take you other places.
• 14:21
  Speaker 8: That used to be true, but it's not true anymore.
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: Not as much, but still, I mean, you think how
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: much it has.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: To narrow down your market at that point. You're then
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: fighting with every other actress that has decided to stick
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: with it.
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: At that age. At that age.
• 14:34
  Speaker 9: I mean, I guess, but I kind of feel like
• 14:36
  Speaker 9: anymore it's like all these people have just been in
• 14:38
  Speaker 9: the business.
• 14:39
  Speaker 8: Like Cameron Diaz and... And, like, even Angelina Jolie is, like, what,
• 14:43
  Speaker 8: 36 or something?
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but they're all still names. Like, those are pretty
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: much A-listers. So, I mean, when you're not an A-lister
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: and you hit that, it kind of kills you. I mean,
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: you can coast for an extra 10 years and people
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: don't even notice that you're 30 when you're Julie Roberts
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: and you're Cameron Diaz. You can coast on your name
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: and just your marketability on a movie poster for years past.
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: When a nobody actor would.
• 15:07
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's true.
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: That's probably it for them, but, yeah.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: So.
• 15:11
  Speaker 7: So that was basically, as far as my geek activities,
• 15:15
  Speaker 7: that was pretty much like the stint of it. And
• 15:19
  Speaker 7: I apologize for that. It should be more exciting. Mine
• 15:22
  Speaker 7: wasn't exciting. But, yeah, I mean, it was exciting for
• 15:26
  Speaker 7: me because it made me feel feelings and emotions were
• 15:30
  Speaker 7: bubbling up. anger and hatred and there was some love
• 15:34
  Speaker 7: and then more anger and confusion and yeah.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: It was just it was weird i'm one of the
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: few that thinks that's almost the way they.
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: Should go with video game movies just.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: Go off and do your own Because I just give
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: them so much credit for what they did with that story.
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: I'm not saying it's good. I know people hate it,
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: but I'm just like, at least it's not fucking Doom. Like,
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: it goes its own damn way.
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: No, but Doom was good. It was fun.
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: Doom was a good time because it was mindless.
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: It's mindless.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: I'll give you that.
• 16:03
  Speaker 7: Well, the game itself. How are you going to make
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: a freaking movie off of that game? Like, come on.
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: Same thing with Super Mario Brothers.
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: Like.
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: But that's the thing, yeah, it seems like a stupid
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: idea to make a movie out of it, but at
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: the same time, I look at the world that they created,
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: and I'm just like, the imagination that they put into
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: that weird world, that alternate world that they live in,
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: and the whole city.
• 16:23
  Speaker 7: I think if they had made The Mushroom Kingdom, that
• 16:26
  Speaker 7: would have been awesome. I would have liked to have
• 16:28
  Speaker 7: seen The Mushroom Kingdom for real, not like... Pseudo New
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: York with the Hammer Brothers tattoo parlor and stuff like oh.
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: In a way it almost needs to be like its
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: own movie like everything that's going on is kind of
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: awesome But you don't even need the Mario Brothers in
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: the middle of it because it's kind of a cool
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: story that you could just have two characters and you
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: know a wormhole opens up and they go to this
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: world and it would be a fun movie and It's.
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: Just the fact that they were trying to product tie
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: in and.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: Make it a Mario Brothers movie that's kind of the ridiculous, well,
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: the most ridiculous part about it.
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: Bob Hoskins.
• 17:00
  Speaker 7: And I like Bob Hoskins. John Leguizamo. Yeah, John Leguizamo.
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, when you think Italian, you think John Leguizamo.
• 17:08
  Speaker 7: Yeah, well, and that's what my girlfriend said. She's like,
• 17:11
  Speaker 7: I had the biggest crush on John Leguizamo because of
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: this movie.
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: She's like, I loved him. So goofy.
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: Oh, God, he's so weird. And his teeth, like how
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: he talks out of the side of his mouth or whatever.
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, right in the real world.
• 17:22
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: So that was the extent of mine.
• 17:25
  Speaker 9: Well, before we go on to mine, it weirds me
• 17:29
  Speaker 9: out that, like, John Leguizamo used to always get, like,
• 17:33
  Speaker 9: weird guy roles.
• 17:34
  Speaker 8: But lately he's like.
• 17:36
  Speaker 9: teacher dad yeah I'm like you're John Leguizamo like you
• 17:40
  Speaker 9: can't do normal like this.
• 17:41
  Speaker 7: You can't go from the defilator to yeah responsible parent
• 17:46
  Speaker 7: or whatever.
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: See the thing is I think he can I just
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: wish I almost wish he would stick to the more
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: serious role because when he does silly it's fucking retarded
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: usually every once in a while he turns in something
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: that's funny but usually.
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: It's so clown in the spawn movie.
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the violator to the past. I want to shoot
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: him for the past. God, it's annoying. Have you not
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: seen the past?
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: Oh, my God.
• 18:08
  Speaker 7: Well, and then he does like Moulin Rouge or whatever.
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and that one's kind of, he's sort of pushing
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: the edge on that one anyway.
• 18:16
  Speaker 9: What was that movie that was awful but it had
• 18:18
  Speaker 9: Zooey Deschanel?
• 18:22
  Speaker 8: It was an M. Night Shyamalan movie, The Happening.
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: Oh, I didn't see that one.
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: I've avoided The Happening. Worst movie ever.
• 18:27
  Speaker 8: I didn't see that show.
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, once again. But that's the thing.
• 18:31
  Speaker 8: He was like a teacher in that.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: Have you ever watched his stand-up? Which I won't even
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: call traditional stand-up.
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: It's just like all those performance art stuff. It really
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: is almost monologue-based, and it's just stories about his life.
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: And it kind of is... elevated above yeah.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: Like standard stand-up you know stupid jokes it's like it's actually.
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: Really serious at points and and that is.
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: Like the best thing he's done like i wish he
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: would do more of that stuff because it's so much
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: better than the stupid like slapstick movies he puts.
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah all right that's just my thoughts on it i
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: agree all.
• 19:06
  Speaker 9: Right uh well i didn't really do that much uh
• 19:09
  Speaker 9: at one point i watched another tales from the.
• 19:11
  Speaker 8: Crypt episode nice it was.
• 19:13
  Speaker 9: Uh I don't remember the name of the episode, but
• 19:16
  Speaker 9: it had the little person from Poltergeist.
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: Oh, the lady? This house is clean. Rubenstein. She just died. Yeah,
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: she did die.
• 19:29
  Speaker 8: Yeah, she was in it.
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: What was she doing? I don't remember. I've probably seen it.
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: I'm sure I've seen it.
• 19:34
  Speaker 8: I don't remember.
• 19:35
  Speaker 9: It was about child psychology and how she had this
• 19:38
  Speaker 9: crazy child.
• 19:40
  Speaker 8: She called these child psychologists and.
• 19:44
  Speaker 8: You'd have to watch the episode to understand.
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 19:47
  Speaker 9: But Saturday, I was staying at a friend's house. and
• 19:50
  Speaker 9: her boyfriend turned the TV on, and apparently it was
• 19:52
  Speaker 9: like medieval.
• 19:53
  Speaker 8: Day on sci-fi channels.
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: Sweet. All right.
• 19:56
  Speaker 9: So we ended up watching this really awful movie about
• 19:59
  Speaker 9: dragons called Fire and Ice.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: Oh, it actually comes up later. But yeah, go ahead.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: Oh, interesting. Like animated or?
• 20:07
  Speaker 12: No, no, no.
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: No, the animated was awesome. That's what I was getting at.
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: We're discussing that one in a few minutes.
• 20:11
  Speaker 7: That was for Zeta, right, I think?
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.
• 20:13
  Speaker 8: No, this was not animated.
• 20:15
  Speaker 9: It was just a made-for-TV sci-fi movie.
• 20:18
  Speaker 8: Kind of your basic sci-fi movie. I don't have cables,
• 20:22
  Speaker 8: so I.
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: Don't really get to watch.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Is it, like, recent?
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: It may have.
• 20:25
  Speaker 9: Been probably pretty recent. I mean, it couldn't have been
• 20:27
  Speaker 9: more than, like, 10 years old max.
• 20:30
  Speaker 10: Wow.
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: Maybe I avoided this one on purpose as well.
• 20:33
  Speaker 9: But it was, I don't know. I was still half asleep,
• 20:37
  Speaker 9: so I can't give you... Whether or not it was
• 20:40
  Speaker 9: like the most awesome movie ever, I don't remember it
• 20:42
  Speaker 9: being very good, but that's just me. But that was
• 20:46
  Speaker 9: pretty much all I did, so I don't have a lot.
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: To talk about.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: Well, does that round out our geek week? Shortest geek
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: week ever. All right. Well, I guess we will. Small
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: geek week. Yay. It cuts it back a little without
• 21:00

  Speaker 12: Hello, this is Peter Mayhew, listening to Movie Mountain Down.
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: All right, we are back with What's the Buzz?
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: Groovy. What is that buzz?
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: Well, do we want to start out with the big
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: one this week, which I'm not so sure I care
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: near as much about as certain dorks out there.
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: Let's start with the big one.
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the one that's all over the internet at this
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: point is Megan Fox is off of Transformers 3.
• 24:16
  Speaker 7: Oh, so, I mean, I know that pretty much they
• 24:19
  Speaker 7: hated her.
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they kind of hated each other.
• 24:22
  Speaker 7: Yeah, she was caught basically, like, calling him out or whatever.
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: Well, she was pretty blatant about it.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: I mean, caught nothing. She was, like, saying it to
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: a reporter.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: Oh, nice.
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: What did she say? She made a lot of accusations.
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: The one that they talk about on here is that
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: she compared him to Hitler and said he wanted to
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: be Hitler on his set and basically was.
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: So, yeah, that's probably not a good idea, too, T. No, no, no.
• 24:47
  Speaker 8: She wasn't really.
• 24:49
  Speaker 9: She wasn't famous before the Terminator.
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: Transformer.
• 24:53
  Speaker 8: Transformer. We were watching Terminator earlier. Let me clarify. I'm
• 24:58
  Speaker 8: not that retarded.
• 24:59
  Speaker 14: But, uh.
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: But, yeah.
• 25:01
  Speaker 8: Yeah, she wasn't anybody before those movies.
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: No.
• 25:04
  Speaker 8: So, you know, it's just like your first big job.
• 25:05
  Speaker 8: I mean, I can understand if the guy's a dick,
• 25:08
  Speaker 8: but don't lie.
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: Well, he's just.
• 25:10
  Speaker 7: He has in his mind, this is what he wants,
• 25:14
  Speaker 7: and he's going to get it, and you're going to
• 25:16
  Speaker 7: be on board or you're not going to be on board.
• 25:17
  Speaker 7: You know, kind of, you know, like you're rolling with
• 25:20
  Speaker 7: the punches or get.
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: Off my fucking set.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 25:22
  Speaker 7: And I can understand that. You're the director. You kind
• 25:25
  Speaker 7: of have that say.
• 25:26
  Speaker 10: And....
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: His movies look good. His movies make a ton of money.
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: And they make a ton of money. I don't like them,
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: but they make it.
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: I can't argue with the fact that he knows how
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: to work the system and make money.
• 25:39
  Speaker 7: And I've heard that he's a tyrant on set. And
• 25:41
  Speaker 7: he admits it.
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: He knows. Because he's like.
• 25:44
  Speaker 7: we you know we're gonna get the shot we're gonna
• 25:46
  Speaker 7: do it my way or it's you know the highway so.
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: Everything that's mentioned here of him just being a tyrant
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: on set you know that's that's okay the one that
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: i heard when it first broke though that they don't
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: even mention in the story this week was how like
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: in the beginning like for the before the first movie
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: i guess when she was still like a struggling actress
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: and was trying to get this big break of hers
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: he had her come out to his house and put
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: on a bikini, washed his cars, and he took photos.
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: You are lying to me. What a perv. Are you
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: kidding me? This is all alleged as far as I'm concerned.
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: I wasn't there.
• 26:24
  Speaker 7: Until I see shit on the internet or whatever.
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: But this was her story. This was what she told people. Now,
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: she also seems like a crazy bitch.
• 26:32
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 26:32
  Speaker 7: I can see her making or embellishing a little bit.
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah. So, I mean, but if nothing else, she did
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: feel like he was being kind of a perv, and
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: she was being very sexualized, which.
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: Granted, most men in America do that, too. Well, yeah,
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: look at you. You think you'd be used to it.
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, that, too.
• 26:48
  Speaker 9: Well, you know, I used to think she was, I mean,
• 26:51
  Speaker 9: I think she's really pretty, certain photos and certain movies
• 26:55
  Speaker 9: and stuff like that, unless you get really close to
• 26:56
  Speaker 9: her face, because she does not have good skin. But
• 26:59
  Speaker 9: something I learned about her from someone, someone told me
• 27:01
  Speaker 9: she has a clubbed thumb.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: Which is.
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: awesome oh no no.
• 27:06
  Speaker 8: I've never seen it but it's just funny like.
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: It's gross yeah no see.
• 27:11
  Speaker 8: She also has really fat calves to.
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: Be so thin see she is yeah she's the opposite
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: end of the spectrum now the the report of who
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: might be taking her place now she's awesome in that
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: same freaky way Only the good version of it.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: See, Megan Fox has the toe thumbs, which we've made
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: fun of continually on this show.
• 27:30
  Speaker 9: Gross.
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: So yeah, don't like her.
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: What they're saying who may take her place is that
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: Gemma Arterton that was in Clash of the Titans and
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: Prince of Persia, she's becoming kind.
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: Of the new it girl all of a sudden. So
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: she's awesome.
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: And I brought this up a while ago, but if
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: you hadn't heard that episode, yeah, she's awesome because she
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: was born with six fingers on her hands.
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: Both hands when she was... Yeah, when she was born,
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: six fingers on each hand.
• 27:56
  Speaker 9: So does Michael Bay have a fetish for girls with
• 27:58
  Speaker 9: fucked up hands?
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: I don't know. Yeah, really.
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: But let me tell you, I like the Gemma girl anyway.
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: She's super cute. But when I found out she was
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: born a freak. God, that's so much hotter.
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: So much hotter. Wait, so did she have them removed?
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: Does she have them? She just has spoke.
• 28:12
  Speaker 8: That'd be awesome.
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: That'd be awesome, actually. That's totally grouty.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: I would be behind that, but they weren't functional.
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: Like, they didn't have bones in them. They were just
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: like floppy. Yeah, they were just there. Get rid of those.
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: So the doctors took them off when she was born.
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: But the fact that she was born with six fingers
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: on each hand makes her so fucking hot to me.
• 28:29
  Speaker 8: What a weird coincidence, though.
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: That is awesome.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: So, yeah.
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: I'll take Gemma any day over Megan Fox. Fuck all that.
• 28:35
  Speaker 8: Can that be the name of this episode? like club
• 28:38
  Speaker 8: thumbs and six.
• 28:39
  Speaker 7: Fingers or something floppy fingers and toe thumbs well that
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: kind of sucks because i was hoping that it was
• 28:48
  Speaker 7: going to go the way that like they would be
• 28:49
  Speaker 7: shooting the movie and then they would have to kill
• 28:52
  Speaker 7: her off or something because i really wanted to see
• 28:54
  Speaker 7: like a death scene because i oh i can't stand
• 28:57
  Speaker 7: her character ever since she was like What if you
• 28:59
  Speaker 7: had to sacrifice anything in your perfect little life, Sam?
• 29:02
  Speaker 7: And it's like, look, bitch, I never said my life
• 29:04
  Speaker 7: was perfect. Like, what are you talking about? She needed
• 29:07
  Speaker 7: to be smacked in Transformers 1.
• 29:08
  Speaker 9: I've never really watched that movie, but it was on
• 29:11
  Speaker 9: once at my gym in the cardio theater.
• 29:15
  Speaker 8: So I caught a little bit of it, but.
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: uh well that's yeah i mean they still even after
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: their big thing like that was what this past like
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: six months or so ago and they supposedly taken care
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: of all that and michael bay was like oh it's
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: okay you know we'll put it all behind us come
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: back no robots will harm you during the shooting of
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: this movie.
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: How did she fucking piss on this paycheck.
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: All of a sudden he like he and the studio
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: suddenly changed their minds mind this week now of course
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: her people say she doesn't want to be in it
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: She made the call, according to her people. Michael Bay
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: and the studio both said, no, we cut her loose
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: this week.
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: They're rewriting.
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: They're quickly rewriting. Shia's still in it, obviously. He knows better.
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: He's not going to screw things up. This is his
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: only paycheck at this point.
• 30:02
  Speaker 8: He was in everything for like a minute.
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: For that first movie, by the time we hit two,
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: he was over with. Nobody cared about him. He's going
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: to be JTT of the future.
• 30:11
  Speaker 7: I don't think that it's going to take that long
• 30:13
  Speaker 7: for them to rewrite her part in the movie because
• 30:17
  Speaker 7: it's probably mindless anyways.
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: They're just finding a way for her to be gone
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: and him to pick up some new loving. So that's
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: really all they have to do.
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: Go, Sam, go.
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: And then run and avoid explosions. That's really the only
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: thing going on in these movies for humans.
• 30:32
  Speaker 7: Yell his name a few times.
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: God, they need to just cut the fucking human element
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: out altogether. I'm just going to go watch the animated show.
• 30:41
  Speaker 7: Yeah, really?
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: Fuck it. All right.
• 30:43
  Speaker 12: Well, okay.
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: Big news. That was good. That's a good big buzz. Definitely.
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: Well, actually, I'm like the least interested person in Megan Fox.
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: She's annoying to me. No, I can't stand her.
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: But yeah, bring Jim on because that might make me
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: want to see a Transformer movie. I haven't been real
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: thrilled in a long time.
• 31:01
  Speaker 11: Yeah, no.
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: Oh, so next up, this goes back to what we
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: sort of mentioned earlier. The fantasy and science fiction artist
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: Frank Frazetta just died May 10th. Oh, he did? Oh, yeah.
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: I didn't know if you heard that. Damn, I didn't
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: realize that. Yep, that was just this past two weeks ago.
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: What?
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: So, but all this was as the final pieces were
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: putting together concerning one of his biggest creations, more or less.
• 31:27
  Speaker 9: What?
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: He was mostly known for his artwork, and it all
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: ended up on novel covers and album covers. But he also,
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: at one point, worked with animator Ralph Baschke on Fire
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: and Ice, the fantastic rotoscope animation movie that was attempting
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: to bring his artwork to life.
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: It was all right.
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: It's one of those that was yeah and it was
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: it was on the list too of man sooner or
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: later we need to watch that yeah definitely so now
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: maybe we really need to because now director robert rodriguez
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: who was supposed to be here for wonderfest last week
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: and didn't show up i'm not sure what his deal
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: was but.
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: His kids probably yeah he's got.
• 32:01
  Speaker 14: 40 or 50 yeah i've lost track it's quite a
• 32:06
  Speaker 14: few i know he's got a big family he's got
• 32:08
  Speaker 14: a clan But yeah, he has announced that his Troublemaker
• 32:12
  Speaker 14: Studios has finally, has finalized acquisition of the rights to
• 32:15
  Speaker 14: make a new live action version of Fire and Ice.
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: Hmm.
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: So that seems interesting. Live action. Because I'm almost thinking
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: he sees how much Conan's going to.
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: Fail and is like, well, let's do a good movie with,
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: you know, swashbuckling and swordplay and, you know.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: Barbarian.
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: Barbarian kind of world. Yeah. So, I mean, I almost,
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: because I see that coming.
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: I mean, we've done nothing but find horrible things about,
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: you know, the new Conan movie as it goes on.
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: So maybe he's planning to be like, okay, I'm going
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: to come through when that one sucks. I'm going to
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: give you the backup and save the day with a
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: good movie. who knows i don't know he's he delivers
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: such back and forth.
• 32:54
  Speaker 7: Yeah projects work yeah.
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: So yeah they're planning on it utilizing a green screen
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: filmmaking and cgi similar to sim city so the first
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: half of that i didn't like but sim city actually
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: looks good so if they can find a way to
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: to almost like play on the fire and ice rotoscope
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: look yeah and make it like a live action version
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: of that that That would be kind of cool, actually.
• 33:15
  Speaker 7: Well, I can kind of see that. If they want
• 33:16
  Speaker 7: to try and keep Frazetta's art style in there, they
• 33:19
  Speaker 7: may be able to throw some... Kind of like filter
• 33:22
  Speaker 7: or whatever and kind of CG it enough to where
• 33:26
  Speaker 7: you can see Frazetta's style. Because the original cartoon, and
• 33:35
  Speaker 7: I saw it a long time ago, it was good
• 33:37
  Speaker 7: because you could kind of tell Frazetta's hands were on it.
• 33:41
  Speaker 7: You could see that in there. But live action, yeah,
• 33:44
  Speaker 7: I'm not sure how they're going to do that.
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: Again, if it were just going to anybody, but I know, like,
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: Rodriguez is not consistent, but when he really, like, gets
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: into something, like, he's such a geek, and that's what
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: I like about him. He does seem very similar to
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: his fans. It's like he's not just like fucking Michael
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: Bay that you have nothing in common with. He seems
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: like he's such a geek, which is why he was
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: supposed to come to Wonderfest is he wanted to come and, like,
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: buy vinyl models.
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: He's that big a geek.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: Awesome.
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: So, yeah, it's like he seems like he's got that
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: kind of, attachment to projects that you know when he
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: really gets into them he might actually be able to
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: put a lot of time and effort into it and
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: make it something cool.
• 34:22
  Speaker 7: Oh poor frisetta that sucks he was old as hell
• 34:24
  Speaker 7: though jesus christ.
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: Rest in peace so yeah we will have to see
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: what happens with that one cool Oh, let's see.
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: Now, this one and the next two sort of tie
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: into a bigger question that I guess I'll get to.
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: But first off, we'll start with making fun of McGee
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: because that's pretty easy at this point. A few months back,
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: Disney scrapped plans for the McGee new adaption of Jules
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: Verne's novel 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
• 34:52
  Speaker 10: Hmm.
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: Which I think we actually covered that when it happened,
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: and we're like, good, because Mitchie's kind of a dork.
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: Well, he's a tool, but I don't know. Sometimes he
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: can be fun. Again, it's been a long time.
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: When he crossed over and did Charlie's Angels, I mean,
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: it's retarded, but it's at least fun. But by the
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: time he tried to get serious and deliver this big.
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: Terminator movie, what the hell happened? Yeah, so... I don't know.
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: He's a weird one.
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: But this is, again, a very strange direction they're going.
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: The studio has hired a very different kind of director
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: to take on the project, and it is David Fincher.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: Who every week it seems like he picks up a
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: new project, so I don't know how he's going to
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: have time to crank all these things out.
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: I like Fincher.
• 35:35
  Speaker 7: I like Fincher a lot.
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: I really like Fincher, but again, this is like 20,000
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: Leagues Under the Sea.
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: He's out on the sea and under the sea, and
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: I'm like.
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: I don't know, I guess if it's submarine-oriented, it gets
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: a little more into his visual style.
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, if it's out like.
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: I can see it being cool. Yeah, definitely.
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: I mean, he's one of the most talented filmmakers working today,
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: so it's like giving him anything at this point is
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: going to be interesting, but I don't know. It's a
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: different type of movie for him, too. I don't know
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: if he's going to... steer clear of the family aspect
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: of it, because, I mean, it, you know, originally was
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: a Disney project, so it's like if he's gonna go
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: more of his dark, twisted version, but... They say it
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: is going to be, let's see, where is it? Yeah,
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: unlike the McG project, this version is supposed to be
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: more faithful to the novel and not go into a
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: weird prequel like they were trying to do with McG
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: and go into the Captain Nemo story.
• 36:31
  Speaker 7: Well, it would be cool in and of itself, kind.
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: Of, but... It would, but I guess, I don't know,
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: it depends on how you're trying to market it.
• 36:37
  Speaker 7: I want more of the Nautilus.
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so.
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: But what's weird is after they broke that story, it's
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: also reported that 20th Century Fox has a 20,000 Leagues
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: Under the Sea project going too.
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: But this version is set in the future. What?
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: Fox's version is being produced by Ridley and Tony Scott,
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: who like to crank out these weird projects now. And
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: they're talking to the Timber guy that did Wanted as
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: potentially director for this.
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: But yeah, they're in development. Their futuristic version of it is...
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: In space? Yeah, I guess. Which, I mean, they keep
• 37:13
  Speaker 5: doing that. 20,000 light years?
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah. They've done many of the old school stories and
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: then set it in space.
• 37:20
  Speaker 9: I think I would really love a 20,000 Leagues Under
• 37:22
  Speaker 9: the Sea movie if they did the scenery just right.
• 37:25
  Speaker 9: Because the way I'd imagine it It would look like,
• 37:30
  Speaker 9: you know, City of Lost Children or something. Like, a
• 37:32
  Speaker 9: kind of, like, steampunk look to everything, you know, like,
• 37:35
  Speaker 9: old and, like.
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: Which is what I'm thinking, giving it to Fincher. That
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: would be amazing. Like, those fit.
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: Like, that version, especially if it is, like, most of
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: it takes place on the submarine, you know, and it's all, like,
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: undersea in this weird metal environment. Like, that definitely, like,
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: ties into his old style. Maybe not the last movie
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: or two, but, I mean, he's definitely... got.
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: His roots in that. So I really, really, it reminds
• 37:59
  Speaker 5: me most.
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: Of like alien three, like the whole look of that
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: planet is very close to what we're talking about here.
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: So hopefully, I mean, he can at least draw on
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: those visuals. Maybe story can go a little different, but yeah,
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: that ties to this next one, which will make me
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: ask a different question. Um, so this one is a director,
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: Paul Greengrass, who's done the Bourne movies, uh, is recently
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: reported in being taught in talks. with James Cameron about
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: directing the 3D remake of Fantastic Voyage, but he has
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: decided to drop out of that and focus on a
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: stylized adaption of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic pirate novel, Treasure Island.
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: The new take on the classic tale of Jim Hawkins, blah, blah, blah. So,
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: I mean, basically it just makes me ask, do people
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: care about these projects? I mean, they're going with a
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: lot of, like, old-school novels, family-friendly features that... it does
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: make me wonder, are they going to keep it that
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: family friendly? Cause you know, treasure Island's one of those,
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: they make.
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: You read in school.
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: It's like, it's very geared towards like kids, at least
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: in the way it's been treated in the last, you know,
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: 50 years.
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: In the school system.
• 39:05
  Speaker 9: I really think what all these movies are going for
• 39:07
  Speaker 9: is kind of like a pirates of the Caribbean kind
• 39:09
  Speaker 9: of thing, like in a family adventure, you know?
• 39:13
  Speaker 5: That's what I was thinking.
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: I was like, they're kind of tapping into that, but
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: at the same time, have we passed that window?
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: I'm like, the first one was cool.
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: Nobody really liked the next two, and they, I guess,
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: made money, but it's not like people love them.
• 39:26
  Speaker 7: I like the Pirates movie. i really especially when it
• 39:30
  Speaker 7: got to the third one i didn't think i was
• 39:31
  Speaker 7: gonna like it as much as i did and i
• 39:33
  Speaker 7: still haven't even watched i was totally jazzed i was
• 39:35
  Speaker 7: like this is all because it was good it was
• 39:37
  Speaker 7: perfect entertainment like it was entertaining the ideas i thought
• 39:41
  Speaker 7: were cool the look of it is really cool especially
• 39:43
  Speaker 7: because um what was his name uh davy jones or
• 39:47
  Speaker 7: whatever but he was basically cthulhu so yeah that's always
• 39:51
  Speaker 7: cool but yeah i think we're kind of over that
• 39:55
  Speaker 7: that's like.
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: I mean they're still working on the fourth one so
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: i don't even know like to me i was wondering
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: if that's gonna tank especially since now they don't even
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: have the director on board but they're bringing johnny.
• 40:04
  Speaker 7: Back and but definitely i would like to see kind
• 40:07
  Speaker 7: of like if there's going to be a reassurance i
• 40:09
  Speaker 7: would like to see the old classics set in space,
• 40:12
  Speaker 7: steampunk style. I think that would be cool. Like, if
• 40:15
  Speaker 7: they're going to do something or go somewhere, I think
• 40:17
  Speaker 7: that would be... I'd be on board for that.
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: I think two of these three are going traditional, though.
• 40:22
  Speaker 5: You know, they're going to be out on.
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: Well, especially Treasure Island's going to be out on the seas, and,
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: you know, so, I mean, it's like, is that... That's, again,
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: a weird move for Greengrass to be doing a big
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: Treasure Island movie.
• 40:33
  Speaker 5: I don't know. Not that you can't do it.
• 40:36
  Speaker 7: Treasure Planet?
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, come on.
• 40:37
  Speaker 5: There we go. I don't know. Who knows? Actually, didn't
• 40:40
  Speaker 5: they do that? What was that animated thing that came
• 40:43
  Speaker 5: out years ago? Yeah, what was that? Wasn't it like
• 40:47
  Speaker 5: Treasure Planet or something? It basically was. It's like they
• 40:49
  Speaker 5: took Treasure Island and set it in space.
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 40:51
  Speaker 5: I don't even remember. I don't even think I saw it.
• 40:53
  Speaker 5: What the hell was that thing called?
• 40:55
  Speaker 11: I don't know.
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 40:56
  Speaker 9: I just don't want them to fuck up the scenery.
• 40:59
  Speaker 9: The scenery will make or break a movie for me.
• 41:02
  Speaker 9: I really like those dreamlike scenes, especially when it comes
• 41:07
  Speaker 9: to old novels and things like that.
• 41:10
  Speaker 8: That you read.
• 41:10
  Speaker 9: I want it to have that dreamlike quality. Not even dreamlike,
• 41:15
  Speaker 9: but just a good set.
• 41:17
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean, it should have the visual style to match,
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: you know, the weight of this kind of project and
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: just the mood of it.
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 41:26
  Speaker 7: The original, I thought the original 20,000 Leagues looked really good.
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: So.
• 41:30
  Speaker 5: But it's.
• 41:31
  Speaker 9: Just, like, lately they just fuck stuff up, you know, like.
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: Tell me about it.
• 41:36
  Speaker 8: The CGI and, you know, it's just, like.
• 41:38
  Speaker 5: It's a cop-out.
• 41:40
  Speaker 9: I used to look forward to the scenery in Tim
• 41:42
  Speaker 9: Burton movies and now it's just awful.
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 41:44
  Speaker 9: You know, like, I mean, the first... Willy Wonka, which
• 41:47
  Speaker 9: I know it wasn't exactly a remake. It was kind
• 41:49
  Speaker 9: of like a different version, but whatever. But like Willy
• 41:52
  Speaker 9: Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, the scenery was amazing. Tim
• 41:54
  Speaker 9: Burton fucked the shit out of that.
• 41:56
  Speaker 5: Oh, he did. Terrible.
• 41:58
  Speaker 9: And it just seems like every movie where you think like,
• 42:00
  Speaker 9: even if this movie is awful, the scenery and the
• 42:03
  Speaker 9: costumes are going to be amazing.
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: They're not.
• 42:04
  Speaker 8: They fuck it up.
• 42:05
  Speaker 5: That was my main complaint with the new Terry Gilliams.
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: Movie too i mean he's one that was known for
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: those visuals and no and it starts off pretty good
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: like the stuff in the real world but when they
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: switch to that crazy fantasy world that's going on in
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: it it's mostly cgi and it's like you lose all
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: those physical effects he used to do and he was
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: so good at delivering that stuff and yeah i just
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: wish they would realize how important that like physical element.
• 42:29
  Speaker 7: Is exactly like you lose all of that aesthetic when
• 42:32
  Speaker 7: you just kind of Like I said, I think it
• 42:34
  Speaker 7: is a cop-out. You know, you just go for CGI
• 42:36
  Speaker 7: because nowadays it's so much easier. And I think it's
• 42:39
  Speaker 7: even getting to the point where it's a lot cheaper.
• 42:41
  Speaker 11: It is.
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's got to be cheaper at this point because,
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: you know, physically building all that stuff versus go stand
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: in front of that green screen. And you pay one
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: animator or whoever, you know, however much it takes. It
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: can't be the same.
• 42:53
  Speaker 5: As the set building, you know.
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: So, yeah.
• 42:55
  Speaker 4: That's what we're coming to, but I'm hoping, yeah, they
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: realize that's not really.
• 43:00
  Speaker 5: The best way to go aesthetically, artistically.
• 43:03
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, that seems fine when you're, you know,
• 43:05
  Speaker 7: whatever director, but yeah, when you're a big name director,
• 43:08
  Speaker 7: it's like, come on.
• 43:09
  Speaker 5: Especially when you're known for those kind of visuals.
• 43:11
  Speaker 7: Well, yeah, I mean, is your heart even in it anymore?
• 43:14
  Speaker 7: Are you getting tired of your own, you know, whatever?
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you're Tim Burton, you're Terry Gilliam, you're
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: known for those visuals. So to just turn it over
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: to some animator and go, yeah, something like I used to.
• 43:26
  Speaker 5: Do 20 years ago. That's just lazy, if nothing else.
• 43:30
  Speaker 5: I'm sad for that.
• 43:32
  Speaker 4: So yeah, it was 2002 Treasure Planet. So we weren't
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: totally made up. And it was actually Disney.
• 43:36
  Speaker 5: I forgot it was Disney.
• 43:38
  Speaker 9: Really?
• 43:38
  Speaker 5: Was it DreamWorks?
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 43:40
  Speaker 5: Disney made. I'll be damned. I'll be damned. I'll be damned.
• 43:44
  Speaker 5: Damn me. Oh, Lord. Have you played Heavy Rain?
• 43:49
  Speaker 7: I have not played Heavy Rain, but it looks really
• 43:52
  Speaker 7: freaking awesome.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 43:54
  Speaker 5: Oh, they were making a.
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: They're signed on to try to make a movie of it,
• 43:58
  Speaker 4: but I hadn't played it, so I was like, I
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: didn't know the visuals.
• 44:01
  Speaker 7: I know enough that that is ridiculous because the game
• 44:04
  Speaker 7: itself is like a movie that you're playing.
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 44:06
  Speaker 7: Because it is so set up non-traditionally to where... Yeah,
• 44:10
  Speaker 7: it's like you are just playing a movie, you know?
• 44:13
  Speaker 7: Then they're going to make a movie off of that?
• 44:15
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 44:16
  Speaker 5: Stupid.
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: I don't know. It's such a fine line, making video
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: game movies, especially as the video games get closer to movies.
• 44:23
  Speaker 5: To movies, yeah. It's really hard to decide what's going
• 44:27
  Speaker 5: to work better.
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: Sometimes maybe you should just realize, I'm going to make
• 44:30
  Speaker 4: a really cool video game and not bother with the movie.
• 44:32
  Speaker 5: Bother with the movie. Like, you know, I could.
• 44:35
  Speaker 7: And I'm still waiting because I am a video game
• 44:38
  Speaker 7: geek also. I'm still waiting for the Halo movie to
• 44:41
  Speaker 7: be realized and come out.
• 44:43
  Speaker 5: It will be cool.
• 44:44
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 44:45
  Speaker 7: I can see a God of War movie being really
• 44:47
  Speaker 7: awesome and making money. And what's the other one?
• 44:52
  Speaker 14: Like.
• 44:53
  Speaker 7: I mean, I am excited for the new Resident Evil
• 44:55
  Speaker 7: movie coming out because that looks like the most ridiculous
• 44:58
  Speaker 7: of all of them.
• 44:59
  Speaker 5: But it looks entertaining.
• 45:01
  Speaker 8: That was one of the few video games, at least
• 45:03
  Speaker 8: the first one, the second one.
• 45:05
  Speaker 5: I like the third one more than I expected. I
• 45:06
  Speaker 5: like all three of them.
• 45:07
  Speaker 8: I mean, they were awful, but I was surprised.
• 45:10
  Speaker 9: That was a pretty good movie i mean there's so
• 45:12
  Speaker 9: much story in that video.
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah god yeah i mean more backstory than most movies
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: have exactly.
• 45:19
  Speaker 9: What's what's that other one that's about zombies that they
• 45:22
  Speaker 9: made a movie of and it was house of the
• 45:23
  Speaker 9: dead no that one's horrible there's another one it was
• 45:27
  Speaker 9: like about a town and a little.
• 45:29
  Speaker 4: Paradise sea or no what's the other one um rhythm
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: shit What is that one?
• 45:33
  Speaker 5: Silent Hill.
• 45:35
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Silent Hill.
• 45:35
  Speaker 5: Silent Hill was awesome. Well, I've heard the visuals are
• 45:39
  Speaker 5: really cool and then the story is crap.
• 45:41
  Speaker 7: Yeah, the video game is kind of the same way.
• 45:43
  Speaker 7: The story itself is like, hmm, it's kind of doesn't
• 45:46
  Speaker 7: really have, it's not solid.
• 45:48
  Speaker 5: It's kind of really, hmm, uh.
• 45:50
  Speaker 7: dream-like in and of itself but like the atmosphere is
• 45:54
  Speaker 7: the big thing about silent hill that like draws you
• 45:57
  Speaker 7: in and the movie captured enough of that to where
• 45:59
  Speaker 7: it's just like yes yes yes i don't give a
• 46:01
  Speaker 7: shit about the story or whatever but the visuals and
• 46:04
  Speaker 7: like you know the atmosphere was there and so i'd
• 46:07
  Speaker 7: still like to see a two you know if they
• 46:10
  Speaker 7: were going to do a silent hill two It would.
• 46:13
  Speaker 5: Have at least visuals to work with and then write
• 46:16
  Speaker 5: a decent story.
• 46:17
  Speaker 7: And I love Radha Mitchell.
• 46:18
  Speaker 5: Love, love, love, love, love. Radha Mitchell. And she was
• 46:22
  Speaker 5: a girl in Silent Hill and Pitch Black. Yeah, that's right.
• 46:25
  Speaker 7: And the movie Rogue about the giant alligator, which is awesome.
• 46:31
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 46:32
  Speaker 5: You love it. It's time for the remake of the week.
• 46:36
  Speaker 7: Haven't we been talking about remakes?
• 46:38
  Speaker 5: Well, we always talk about them. But this was the only.
• 46:40
  Speaker 4: I mean, everything else was just redoing old properties.
• 46:44
  Speaker 5: These are all making novels that people haven't read.
• 46:47
  Speaker 9: That reminds me, speaking of the old things, I saw
• 46:50
  Speaker 9: a long time ago that they were making a picture
• 46:52
  Speaker 9: of Dorian Gray, and I haven't seen anything about that
• 46:55
  Speaker 9: in a long time.
• 46:55
  Speaker 8: Have you heard anything about that?
• 46:56
  Speaker 4: No, I know they're still working on it. I think
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: I even saw like a teaser trailer for it.
• 47:02
  Speaker 9: That's one of the things that's like one of my
• 47:04
  Speaker 9: favorite stories of all times. And that's one of the
• 47:06
  Speaker 9: things that I think could be like amazing visually if
• 47:09
  Speaker 9: they got.
• 47:09
  Speaker 8: The right people.
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 47:11
  Speaker 5: I'm surprised they didn't give that to Tim Burton, actually. Thankfully, really.
• 47:14
  Speaker 8: I know, I'm glad.
• 47:15
  Speaker 5: He would have screwed it up.
• 47:16
  Speaker 8: I kind of just want him to stop.
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 47:18
  Speaker 8: Just retire.
• 47:19
  Speaker 5: Just take a breather.
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: Just pick another direction. Do something totally different without that style,
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: without your cheesy falling back on CGI at this point.
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: Just.
• 47:31
  Speaker 5: Maybe if he.
• 47:31
  Speaker 9: Just stops doing Disney movies or something, maybe? Maybe if
• 47:35
  Speaker 9: he just does something dark and weird.
• 47:37
  Speaker 7: Maybe he is hamstrung because of the contract he has
• 47:40
  Speaker 7: with Disney.
• 47:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, probably. He needs to stop.
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: So now this one, and usually we get in trouble
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: for being down on the remakes. And this one, and
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: that's kind of why I threw this one in, because
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: I think we usually complain about it for several reasons,
• 47:56
  Speaker 4: most of which is half the time it just doesn't
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: need one. Here's a property that probably needs a reboot.
• 48:02
  Speaker 5: Gidget.
• 48:04
  Speaker 4: The popular teen female character from the late 50s and 60s.
• 48:08
  Speaker 8: That one needs a remake.
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah. It's from a 1957 novel. I didn't even realize
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: it was that old. She's Gidget, the little girl with
• 48:17
  Speaker 4: big ideas. And yeah, the premise of Gidget, she's an
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: all-American girl and she's crazy about the new hot fads
• 48:24
  Speaker 4: of the time, surfing, beach boys, whatever the hell it
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: was at the time. So, now, thanks to a collaboration
• 48:30
  Speaker 4: between the producers of Forever Plaid and, wait, the producer
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: of Letters to Juliet and Piranha 3D.
• 48:37
  Speaker 5: Is that an odd combination or is that just me?
• 48:41
  Speaker 4: But yes, now Gidget is in line to be revived
• 48:43
  Speaker 4: as both a feature film and.
• 48:44
  Speaker 5: A new TV series. Gidget!
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: What? So.
• 48:48
  Speaker 5: What? And TV series.
• 48:52
  Speaker 8: Some old guy was like, Dude, I remember Gidget from
• 48:55
  Speaker 8: when I was a kid.
• 48:55
  Speaker 9: She was hot.
• 48:56
  Speaker 5: Let's do that. Let's do that. No, see, now I
• 48:59
  Speaker 5: have a whole thing on this one. But here's the thing.
• 49:02
  Speaker 4: Producer Mark Canton describes the appeal of Gidget this way.
• 49:06
  Speaker 4: With female surfing exploding across the globe, the time is
• 49:10
  Speaker 4: right to bring her back in a major way.
• 49:11
  Speaker 8: Female surfing is exploding across the globe?
• 49:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I was like, wasn't Blue Crush 2002? Seriously. So
• 49:18
  Speaker 5: this is like Blue Crush for Twilight Girls?
• 49:20
  Speaker 12: Now?
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: Is that what we're trying to tap into the new
• 49:22
  Speaker 4: market with surfing girls?
• 49:24
  Speaker 5: Oh, God.
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: But that's what I don't understand is why, if they're
• 49:27
  Speaker 4: going to go that way, if they're going to go
• 49:29
  Speaker 4: the stupid way. Because then, and once again, we usually
• 49:32
  Speaker 4: just bitch about things blankly. I'm going to give this
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: way more thought than it probably needs or anyone in
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: fucking Hollywood has. If you're going to do this, don't
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: do it the stupid way like they always do.
• 49:43
  Speaker 5: Give it to somebody who knows what they're doing.
• 49:44
  Speaker 4: And especially since it's such a fad-oriented thing. And it
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: centers around a girl and pop culture, basically. Give it
• 49:53
  Speaker 4: to somebody who knows that and knows what they're doing.
• 49:56
  Speaker 9: People who did High School Musical is what I'm thinking.
• 49:59
  Speaker 5: Sadly, I was thinking better written, though.
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: I was like, give it to Amy Sherman, who did
• 50:03
  Speaker 4: Gilmore Girls, or give it to Rob Thomas, who did
• 50:06
  Speaker 4: my newfound obsession with Veronica Mars. Both of these are
• 50:09
  Speaker 4: projects that are really tied to pop culture, but they
• 50:13
  Speaker 4: weave it into the story so that it's not really
• 50:16
  Speaker 4: jamming it down your throat.
• 50:18
  Speaker 5: The Gilmore Girls got pretty bad towards the end.
• 50:20
  Speaker 4: But in the beginning, both of those were really just
• 50:23
  Speaker 4: well done, well written, and put together, but they were
• 50:26
  Speaker 4: very current. They were very of the time period they're in,
• 50:29
  Speaker 4: but without being cheesy about it.
• 50:31
  Speaker 9: For some reason, I'm imagining this movie feeling a lot
• 50:34
  Speaker 9: like Spice World.
• 50:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well, unfortunately.
• 50:38
  Speaker 4: I actually had to be better off with that. I'm
• 50:40
  Speaker 4: afraid what they're going to do with it is they're
• 50:43
  Speaker 4: going to go the, again, they're trying to cash in
• 50:45
  Speaker 4: on the young girl market, which is Twilight. So I'm
• 50:49
  Speaker 4: afraid they're going to go with another vapid young girl.
• 50:52
  Speaker 4: Don't give us another blank canvas that Bella is that
• 50:56
  Speaker 4: has nothing to offer. It's like, this is something centering
• 50:59
  Speaker 4: around a young girl. Why not give us an intelligent
• 51:02
  Speaker 4: young girl? It's like, why not write it? So that
• 51:05
  Speaker 4: she actually has something to say and is not an idiot.
• 51:08
  Speaker 7: Well, yeah, that has personality that is kind of layered
• 51:11
  Speaker 7: like young girls are. You know, like, come on, give
• 51:15
  Speaker 7: us something.
• 51:16
  Speaker 5: I mean, there's a way to do this.
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: And that's why, I mean, it's sad that we're going
• 51:19
  Speaker 4: to the TV writers, but it's like they knew what
• 51:22
  Speaker 4: they were doing. And both of those projects were good.
• 51:24
  Speaker 4: There's probably several other ones out there. I'm afraid it's
• 51:27
  Speaker 4: going to be more of like... a fucking gossip girl
• 51:30
  Speaker 4: or it's gonna be like one of those other.
• 51:31
  Speaker 8: Like girls not bad though yeah but it's it.
• 51:33
  Speaker 4: Falls into that category of putting the the pretty people
• 51:36
  Speaker 4: up there and they don't really seem like they're investing
• 51:38
  Speaker 4: too much into individual characters but the storyline of romance i.
• 51:43
  Speaker 9: Used to watch gossip girl like when it first came
• 51:45
  Speaker 9: out and i don't i've only seen a few episodes
• 51:47
  Speaker 9: but the characters are pretty well developed they'll have like
• 51:49
  Speaker 9: serious backstories and stuff like.
• 51:51
  Speaker 4: Again that's all from the books i guess i haven't
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: yeah bothered with them but I mean I know there
• 51:55
  Speaker 4: was a lot of back material that they could draw
• 51:58
  Speaker 4: from but just in general they also like any of
• 52:00
  Speaker 4: those shows on UPN or what used to be WB
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: kind of shows that were like they would work to
• 52:06
  Speaker 4: work in whatever the band of the week was that
• 52:09
  Speaker 4: sponsored them that week or they would be working in
• 52:11
  Speaker 4: whatever trendy thing was going on that week that somebody
• 52:13
  Speaker 4: had like donated money to them to get it worked
• 52:16
  Speaker 4: into the plot line like i'm afraid they're gonna go
• 52:18
  Speaker 4: that route and it's gonna be like 90210 is now
• 52:21
  Speaker 4: you know it's just like yeah one tree hill became
• 52:23
  Speaker 4: that crap that i'm afraid that's what they're gonna do
• 52:26
  Speaker 4: with it because they're gonna try to be like appealing
• 52:28
  Speaker 4: to that market so they're just gonna make it stupid
• 52:31
  Speaker 4: and whatever they can slap on the screen that will,
• 52:33
  Speaker 4: you know, get them money to back it and we'll
• 52:35
  Speaker 4: get it out there and the kids will think it's
• 52:36
  Speaker 4: cool and trendy and bullshit. You know, I'm just like,
• 52:39
  Speaker 4: if you're gonna write something, and that's why I brought
• 52:41
  Speaker 4: this one up. It's like, this is a property that's old.
• 52:44
  Speaker 4: You know, it needs new life breathed into it. So
• 52:47
  Speaker 4: if you're gonna do it, do it right. Do it,
• 52:50
  Speaker 4: you know, make her a smart girl and give her
• 52:52
  Speaker 4: something to do. Don't just make it something stupid. That's
• 52:55
  Speaker 4: a way for you to just promote whatever the product
• 52:58
  Speaker 4: of the week is.
• 52:58
  Speaker 8: I just really don't see that's working at all. Not
• 53:01
  Speaker 8: even close.
• 53:02
  Speaker 5: So I don't.
• 53:03
  Speaker 8: Really think it matters. Do they have anybody set up
• 53:04
  Speaker 8: to play her yet?
• 53:05
  Speaker 4: No, they're just at the point of starting to write it.
• 53:07
  Speaker 5: But that's, I mean, that was my thing. And that's
• 53:09
  Speaker 5: kind of why I wanted to throw it out there.
• 53:10
  Speaker 4: I was like, it's just, we usually bitch about them,
• 53:13
  Speaker 4: you know, just generally making remakes. And I'm like, there's
• 53:16
  Speaker 4: times when things need to be remade that, that, It's
• 53:19
  Speaker 4: not sacrilege to go back when it's been long enough
• 53:21
  Speaker 4: that it really is a different idea. It's a different
• 53:24
  Speaker 4: world than it was when this came out and you
• 53:27
  Speaker 4: can do something different with it. It's just when they
• 53:29
  Speaker 4: do like me bitching about the fucking movie last week
• 53:33
  Speaker 4: where they basically took sort of an idea and just
• 53:36
  Speaker 4: slapped new people in there.
• 53:37
  Speaker 5: And that's what I'm afraid of.
• 53:38
  Speaker 4: That was a bunch of these stupid little vapid characters
• 53:41
  Speaker 4: that like had nothing to do and drove around in
• 53:44
  Speaker 4: their fancy cars the whole time. And like in the end,
• 53:46
  Speaker 4: there was nothing to it. Like there was no character.
• 53:48
  Speaker 4: There was no people at all. It was just they
• 53:51
  Speaker 4: filled in the little spots and, you know, did play
• 53:53
  Speaker 4: their part and.
• 53:54
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 53:54
  Speaker 4: I'm afraid that's what they'll end up doing with this
• 53:56
  Speaker 4: because they're so busy trying to be trendy with it.
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: God.
• 53:59
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 54:01
  Speaker 7: We shall see.
• 54:01
  Speaker 9: Speaking of Gossip Girl, Brian, I think you should just
• 54:03
  Speaker 9: watch a couple episodes of it. Not because I think
• 54:06
  Speaker 9: you'd be super into it, but I really think you'd
• 54:08
  Speaker 9: like Blair Waldorf's character.
• 54:10
  Speaker 8: She is so evil and devious and adorable.
• 54:14
  Speaker 5: Well, I do like that.
• 54:15
  Speaker 9: She always wears bows in her hair and keep dresses
• 54:18
  Speaker 9: and stuff, which is why I watched the show in
• 54:20
  Speaker 9: the first place.
• 54:21
  Speaker 5: And you like hot young girls, but that hasn't sold
• 54:23
  Speaker 5: me so far.
• 54:24
  Speaker 8: No, you'd like it because she's really evil. All right.
• 54:29
  Speaker 4: Well, continuing on into our Wookiee Fest here, we will
• 54:33
  Speaker 4: move into the interview portion.
• 54:35
  Speaker 5: And I did actually sit down and talk to Peter Mayhew.
• 54:38
  Speaker 4: And this was actually impressive for the show in general
• 54:41
  Speaker 4: because I was at this place with him.
• 54:43
  Speaker 5: And, like, later on in.
• 54:44
  Speaker 4: The weekend, I was talking to a guy who worked for,
• 54:48
  Speaker 4: it was either Chicago Tribune or Chicago Sun-Times.
• 54:52
  Speaker 5: And he was trying to get an interview, and he
• 54:54
  Speaker 5: turned him down. Ooh, that's right. And yet, I got it.
• 54:56
  Speaker 7: He did not turn us down.
• 54:59
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 54:59
  Speaker 5: Movie Mouth Down is awesome. I'm just saying.
• 55:03
  Speaker 4: And you don't want to argue with Peter Mayhew because
• 55:05
  Speaker 4: he could crush you. His hands are the size of
• 55:07
  Speaker 4: this table.
• 55:07
  Speaker 7: He'll palm your head.
• 55:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, his hands are huge. It's just weird. So yeah,
• 55:13
  Speaker 4: you don't argue with Peter Mayhew. I just thought it
• 55:16
  Speaker 4: was awesome that we actually did get to talk to him.
• 55:19
  Speaker 4: And that's sort of what leads us to the movie
• 55:22
  Speaker 4: of the week. That's what I was going into is
• 55:24
  Speaker 4: usually we'll pull stuff and we'll talk to these people.
• 55:26
  Speaker 4: And I, you know, there comes a point where you've
• 55:28
  Speaker 4: got to ask them about the big titles. But with
• 55:31
  Speaker 4: most people, like even when I talked to Billy Dee Williams,
• 55:33
  Speaker 4: I was like, okay, everybody asked you about being fucking Lando.
• 55:36
  Speaker 5: I want to ask you about, you know, blaxploitation movies
• 55:38
  Speaker 5: you made, you know, 10, 15 years before that.
• 55:41
  Speaker 4: So I think I like to just find other things
• 55:43
  Speaker 4: that people haven't beat to death. So I mean, we
• 55:47
  Speaker 4: talk a little bit about Star Wars, but I was
• 55:48
  Speaker 4: trying to go back and find something else. Peter Mayhew
• 55:52
  Speaker 4: is not really an actor. He came into it way
• 55:57
  Speaker 4: late in the game. He basically sort of got cast,
• 56:00
  Speaker 4: I think, because he fit the role. He fit the
• 56:03
  Speaker 4: physical thing that they.
• 56:04
  Speaker 5: Were looking for.
• 56:05
  Speaker 4: So there's not really a whole lot to draw on
• 56:07
  Speaker 4: in his career. There's one other notable thing that we
• 56:11
  Speaker 4: talk about. He's in Sinbad and the Eye of the
• 56:14
  Speaker 4: Golden Tiger, I think. He's the minotaur in that, in
• 56:17
  Speaker 4: the big outfit.
• 56:18
  Speaker 5: Makes sense. So that was one, and I'd be up
• 56:21
  Speaker 5: for watching that. Oh, yes, definitely.
• 56:23
  Speaker 4: But yeah, other than that, there's not a whole lot
• 56:25
  Speaker 4: to go with in this one. So we'll get to
• 56:27
  Speaker 4: his other big film role later today. For now, we'll
• 56:32
  Speaker 4: see what Peter has to say about his acting career
• 56:35
  Speaker 4: in general.
• 56:35
  Speaker 5: So, here you go.
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: So, we're here with Peter.
• 56:38
  Speaker 5: You were born in Barnes, England.
• 56:40
  Speaker 15: Did you have an interest in performing when you were younger?
• 56:43
  Speaker 5: No.
• 56:45
  Speaker 12: I just wanted, you know, I had no interest in
• 56:50
  Speaker 12: theatricals or the performing arts, up until.
• 56:56
  Speaker 10: You know, sort of, I was quite old, and just
• 57:01
  Speaker 10: the opportunity just came.
• 57:02
  Speaker 5: Along, so.
• 57:05
  Speaker 15: Yeah, you were, I guess, I think like an orderly
• 57:07
  Speaker 15: at that point.
• 57:08
  Speaker 5: And had somebody just ask you to be it?
• 57:11
  Speaker 12: They were looking for someone big for Sinbad Miata Tiger.
• 57:16
  Speaker 12: I just happened to fit the bill, did that, that
• 57:20
  Speaker 12: led to meeting other people, Star Wars came along after that,
• 57:24
  Speaker 12: you know, and it.
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: Was a gradual procession.
• 57:28
  Speaker 12: To, you know, went up, got the interview, thank you
• 57:33
  Speaker 12: very much, and the rest of it's history.
• 57:37
  Speaker 15: What was the cost here for the Minnesota War?
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: How hard was that to wear? That was fiberglass.
• 57:43
  Speaker 12: It had about 60 inches, so it was big.
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: I figured that if you could deal.
• 57:53
  Speaker 12: With that, you could deal with almost anything. Anybody could
• 58:00
  Speaker 12: throw at you, so you just went, okay, I can
• 58:04
  Speaker 12: do this, I can do this, and progressed along easily,
• 58:08
  Speaker 12: no problems. And that's how, as I say, that's how
• 58:14
  Speaker 12: it all got started.
• 58:16
  Speaker 15: And then as you got into Star Wars, they kind
• 58:19
  Speaker 15: of let you pick whether you wanted to be Vader
• 58:21
  Speaker 15: or Chewbacca?
• 58:23
  Speaker 10: No.
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: No. That's... I.
• 58:27
  Speaker 12: Dave Rouse, who now plays Vader, was offered the choice
• 58:35
  Speaker 12: of either Vader or Chewie.
• 58:37
  Speaker 3: Ah.
• 58:38
  Speaker 12: And he chose Vader because he didn't want to.
• 58:42
  Speaker 5: Become a masked character.
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: Look what happened to him. So they were looking around.
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: I get this call.
• 58:51
  Speaker 12: Go up, look at the character, think, yes, that's a
• 58:56
  Speaker 12: challenge because you try and turn it from a one-dimensional
• 59:02
  Speaker 12: character into a three-dimensional character.
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: If you can do that, you can do anything. And
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: I think I've just... proved that it doesn't.
• 59:11
  Speaker 12: Take that much to do, if the costume's right and
• 59:16
  Speaker 12: your attitude's right, you can do almost anything.
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you definitely.
• 59:24
  Speaker 15: Found a good way to express yourself clearly.
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: Exactly, exactly.
• 59:29
  Speaker 12: When we were talking, I figured the only thing you
• 59:32
  Speaker 12: can't do is talk humanly. I figured, right, this is
• 59:39
  Speaker 12: going to be a month. It's logical. And look, we
• 59:46
  Speaker 12: did it. I thought, well, you know, they will tell
• 59:51
  Speaker 12: me if I'm doing anything wrong.
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: Nobody said a word.
• 59:55
  Speaker 4: End of story.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 12: Last shots were done. Nobody had said anything. I'm just
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 12: waiting there.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 11: Done.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: Down the road. And wait for the next one.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 12: Yep.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 10: So, as I said, it was one of those things.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 10: I was very, very relieved when I got a phone
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 10: call with Planning Empire.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 12: And, you know, your character's still alive. we need you
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 12: thank you very much went back just had a ball
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 12: i knew because i knew the character i knew what
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 12: he could do what he couldn't do what we should
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 12: do because by this time you've got you've got a
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 12: lot of comments from the fans through.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: The first Yeah, yeah, exactly. Which I hadn't intended to do.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: But it was done. Yeah, we did it.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 12: And he's become one of those interesting characters that.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: People from 9 to 90 enjoy.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 12: So it's, as I say, one of those crazy things,
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 12: but it works.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 15: And then you came back to play it for Revenge
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 15: of the Sith. What was it like getting back into
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 15: the costume 20-some years later?
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: No problem.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 13: Yeah?
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 5: I knew.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 12: I think if you're mentally prepared for yourself, that you
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 12: know that costume, you know that, you literally know the.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: Costume inside out.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 12: And it was a question of, right, okay, I've done
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 12: this once, I can do it again. And we had
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 12: a great bunch, I think it was all the, with
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 12: Hayden and Ewan and Natalie, were all raised in Star Wars.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 12: You know, Sam Jackson was there and we just had
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 12: a ball.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: It was nice to.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 12: Go back and be part, you know, not be the
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 12: new shoot as I had.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 5: Been in the original.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: The early thing. Knowing what you could, knowing what.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 12: Was expected of the character, we just got in, got on,
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 12: did it, and hopefully it was in the right order
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 12: and the right way.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: I'd say so. I think we've done more.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 15: Was there any other upcoming projects you've got going?
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 12: Well, we did a movie about 18 months, two years
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 12: ago that we found has just been got a distributor.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: It's already made. It's all ready to go. That's one
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: of our projects. It should be out in cinemas soon.
• 1:02:51

  Speaker 4: He was, I'm telling you, he was eating M &
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 4: M' s and they looked like sixlets.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 7: Yeah, they were just like teeny little peas.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 5: They were. He was sitting there eating M & M' s
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 5: and it was just like.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 8: Sixlets and M & M' s are not that different.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 5: Well, these were peanut M & M' s.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 7: Yeah, they were big ones and they looked like little...
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 7: It was creepy.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 5: Oh, man.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 4: But he's an interesting guy, and he was nice enough
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 4: that he put up with me, and that's pretty awesome, actually.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 5: Good for him.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 4: And we will come back to watch one of his major,
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 4: major films in his career, Terror.

  Speaker 5: So, yeah, if nothing else, you know.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 3: Ah.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I wanted to set it up because, yeah, like

  Speaker 4: I said, there's not a whole lot in his back catalog. So, yeah,
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 4: I think you guys will be interested to see what
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 4: it is, his big role in this movie is the

  Speaker 4: starring vehicle for Peter Mayhew. So we'll invite you to
• 1:04:07

• 1:04:16
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 8: My hands feel really dirty.
