  Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, Welcome to the Large ner Dron Collider podcast,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: the podcast that's all about the geeky things happening in
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: the world around us and how very excited we are
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: about them. I'm Ariel Castied, and with me, as always,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: is the ever patient Jonathan Strue.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: I'm so excited and I just can't hide it. And
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: I also can't say why I'm so excited.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: It's because you watched Save by the Bell, the episode
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: where Jesse takes the caffeine bills.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: It is not that, although I would be excited to
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: do that. I also am excited that Brenda the show
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: shay Lee, who clearly loves me very much, late last night,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: sent me a video on Facebook that was the actors
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: from Teen Witch talking about the Top That Wrap sequence.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: I'm like, this is true love, this is true love
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: that she sent me this video, because I mean, I
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: remember when that movie came out, and I remember when
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Top That was like possibly the most awkward thing I
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: had ever seen on television until Jesse saying I'm so excited.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: I'm so scared, delightful, delightful. I'm excited too, because we're
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: going to sing together this weekend.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: We are we're gonna do karaoke. So yeah, I occasionally
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: get together with my friends and we do karaoke. And
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: here's the problem is that all of my friends are
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: amazing singers and I am not. But luckily they're very,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: very very kind to me. And so yeah, we're gonna
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: have a get together on Saturday night. We're recording this
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: on Friday, and hopefully we'll get it out on Friday,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: but we're definitely recording it then. And yeah, I'm hoping
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: that we can have lots of fun singing. The nice
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: thing is we go to a place where you can
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: get one of those private karaoke rooms, and that means
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: we can sing whatever we want. There's no danger of irritating,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: you know, like a crowd who's like, I didn't come
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: here to listen to Broadway show tunes. Gosh darn it.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I haven't been there in forever. I have no
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: idea what their current Broadway songbook contains. It's it's certainly
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: not it's near what our friend's book contains.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: No, but I mean our friend will be there too.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: And I believe that they also have built in where
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: you can actually connect your phone to the system and
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: use YouTube if you don't, you know, find it in
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: the library. I think I think they have that capability.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: It's hard for me. I've gone to a couple different
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: places and some of them have that and some of
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: them don't. But yeah, our friend is a karaoke DJ
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: also a great singer, and he's going to be there
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: and he he has an incredible thorough library of songs.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: H But yeah, it's funny because the last few times
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: we've gone, I mean, there's always someone who will sing
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: like a song or two from a musical, but for
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: the most part, we've gravitated more toward other genres, Like
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: we didn't do as much musical theater stuff the last
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: time we were there. But there's no telling. Maybe this
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: will end up being returned to forum. But yeah, that's cool.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to seeing everybody and singing with everyone tomorrow.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah me too.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I'm super excited as well. So we have this is
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: once again. I thought this was going to be a
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: very short episode week, so we brought our top our
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: discussion topic over but it may not be. But we
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: have to talk about our discussion topic because our mashups
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: also go with it.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so our discussion topic is about and we've brought
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: this up on the show before, but about fake trailers,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: movie trailers where it's a movie trailer that's been cut
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: together by somebody, or it's you know, it's done in
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: a movie trailer's style, but it's cut together by someone
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: usually taking footage from multiple projects and merging them together
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: to create the semblance of a movie trailer, but in
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: fact there is no such movie, or there is a
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: real movie that's coming out, but no trailer has been
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: released yet. And Ariel came across I think it was you.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Was it you that came across the article?
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know, well one of us, I don't remember.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: We It was on Hollywood Reporter, which is a site
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: that both of us use quite a bit when we
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: are looking into stories for the show. And the story
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: itself was about a fake movie trailer. This one, in particular,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: was put together by a YouTube channel called kh Studio
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: that does this a lot, that used some AI manipulation
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: to make a fake trailer for a fake James Bond
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: film starring Henry Cavill and Margo Robbie, and that you know,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: it racked up a lot of views, and a lot
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: of those views were from people who thought it was
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: a legitimate trailer. And I was like, yeah, let's talk
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: about this. Because as I do research for the show,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: one thing I frequently do is I will go on
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: YouTube and I will just search the term trailer and
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: I'll filter it by time, Right, Like I'll say, like,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: show me videos that have the word trailer in them
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: from the last seven days or whatever, And without fail,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: some of the videos that pop up are these these
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: fan made or concept or as I call them, big
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: lion fake trailers.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, do we want to talk about that now
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: or do we want to hold off and go through
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: everything else.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Well, let's talk about it now. Let's discuss it now,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: and then we'll do thirty seconds or less because we
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: haven't had a discussion topic in a long time on
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: this show.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, we talked about a lot of things last week.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: We were long winded. But yeah, so here's the thing.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: I I like being creat people being creative with the
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: properties that they like. Right, We've gotten some amazing like
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Power Rangers, Immortal Kombat type content, Fresh Princes type content
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: by people making fan videos. I love fan videos. Batman
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: has some amazing fan videos.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like Batman versus predator.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But the problem comes is when you're like new trailer,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: you're saying that specifically to make people think that it's
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: a legitimate thing and not a fan thing, and like
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: that the lie, the lie is the thing I have
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: an issue with. I would watch a fan trailer. I
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: watch lots of fan trailers or lots of fan made content.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Did you ever see this was years and years ago.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: This was like early days of YouTube, not super early,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: but like YouTube have been around for a little bit,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: but not that long. Do you remember the fan trailer
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: slash kind of digital portfolio project Grayson.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Yes, Like that's amazing.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: That's the one I think of. I'm like Grayson. That
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: was like it was one of those things that people
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: were convinced, oh, is this an actual movie. I can't
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: wait for this to come out, and then you'd say, no, no,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: this is it. That's all there is. There is no film,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: and Grayson was this fan made creation. It was really
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: to show off filmmaking and editing techniques. It was like
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: a portfolio project, but it was set in the DC universe,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: and it's set in the world that has like like
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Batman's been apparently killed. Superman is a sort of a threat,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: kind of like in the Frank Miller version of Batman,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Catwoman is overacting her socks off. Most of the performance
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: are like cartoonish but within the realm of DC. But
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Catwoman is a little over the top even for this.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it was this kind of like kitchen sink approach,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: and people got really excited because they're like, oh, all
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: these characters that I love, like Green Lantern was shown
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: in it, Wonder Woman, Penguin, Joker, the Riddler, like there
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: were so many different characters. Everyone was so excited, and
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: then it turned out, oh, well, this was to showcase
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: this filmmaker's talents, but there is no movie that is
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: the project, just the trailer.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: And that again totally fine. I love stuff like that.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Just make it. And I realized that the reason why
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: you're like, oh, this is a new trailers because you
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: want people to click on it. You want the views,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: right Yeah, And if you're like, this is a fan
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: trailer I made, there's a good handful of people who
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: are not going to watch it.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: But right, if you present it as if it's the
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: legitimate thing, then you're going to get a lot more clicks.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: But at the same time, it feels like a It
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: feels like you're being tricked right when you click into it.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: So Cage Studio and Screen Culture in particular, those two
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: channels are really prolific, and I would say bad about
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: doing this Occasionally. You will see in the brief description
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: underneath the video title, this is our first look concept
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: at blah blah blah, And I'm like, Okay, at least
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: there there's the actual acknowledgement that this is a concept
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: trailer that they have created. But not all of them,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: do some of them. It's just like, you know, trailer
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: for the first look at Thunderbolts. That's what I've seen
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: a few times, right, And then you look and you're like,
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: there's no acknowledgement in the short form description. It might
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: be buried longer in the full description, but in the
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: part that shows up just in search results, it doesn't
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: say anything. You click on it and you're like, this
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: is all foot from either previous Marvel movies or sometimes
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: films that the actors were in, but have no connection
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: whatsoever to the actual Marvel films. And I get irrationally
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: angry about it.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, me too, Because sometimes it is hard to tell,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: especially if it's one of if it's a property that
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: like you're not super familiar with, you know, and they
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: pull clips. If it's a Marvel thing, I can usually
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: like in the first five to ten seconds go, no,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: this is this is a fake because I recognize the content, right,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: I've seen most Marvel stuff. But yeah, especially for some
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: of the movies that I'm excited about that don't really
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: have predecessors, it's it's harder to tell. So now I'm like, oh,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: there's a trailer out let me look for the trailer
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: released by the actual studio, and if I can't find it,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: ninety five percent likely it's a fake.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, if it's I mean, if it's something like
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: a legitimate journalism outlet, Like I mean, it's hard to
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: say Entertainment Tonight is a legitimate journalism, but you know,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Entertainment Tonight is a known quantity. It's not going to
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: They're not going to knowingly push out a fake trailer
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: unless it's like April Fool's Day or something and they
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: just getting sassy with it. But otherwise, like those sorts
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: of things I can get away, I can get around.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: I'm like, Okay, this is probably legit. But usually I'm
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: the same way Ariel. I want to look for the studio,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: like I want to see is it Disney? Is it
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Marvel because they publish on separate channels. Is it Warner Brothers?
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Is it Sony? Like who is it that's playing this video?
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Because if it's Cage Studio or Screen Culture pretty much
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: can guarantee it's not a real trailer.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, And I will say, like I I was
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: torn because Hollywood Reporter has a link to the trailer
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: that Cage Studio made. And on the one hand, again
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: I like fan stuff if you want to if you
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: want to showcase your artistic creativity, that's fine. On the
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: other hand, I don't like that when I click on
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: I says new trailer for James Bond whatever. And then
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: also they used a bunch of ai, which I think
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: there are responsible uses for it, but right now it's
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: still very like super touchy.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: If it makes you feel any better, they did.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: A really bad job with it, Okay, that's that does
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: make me feel better, because like, yeah, I don't know. Also,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm excited. I like. I like Henry cavill a lot.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: I think he's a great actor. I think he plays
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: serious and he also is an amazing comedic actor who
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: doesn't get to do enough comedy, and a geek, which
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: is awesome. I haven't met him, but that's at least
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: his public persona. But I'm more excited about the other
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: people that we're potentially getting as James Bond. Yeah, like
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Aaron Taylor Johnson, right, yeah.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, and I mean you could tell immediately that
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: this was a fake because it's Henry Cavill doing an
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: American accent. Why the heck would you have Henry Cavill
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: doing an American accent for James freaking Bond, the British.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Spy Listen, listen, Well, if it was a Southern accent,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: I'd say, because right now on TikTok, there's this big
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: trend about people just realizing that Shakespeare sounds really good
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: in Southern dialect.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Like Appalachian.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Appalachian. Even though Jake I don't remember his name,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: but he's a voiceover actor and he's amazing, So.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Now you're looking him up. Vamp, I'll vamp. So yeah.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: The theory is that in Shakespeare's time, Elizabethan English sounded
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: a lot closer to what you can hear in parts
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: of Appalachia as opposed to the modern English accent, so
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: that if you were to travel into like the Blue
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Ridge Mountains or the Smoky Mountains, you would counter communities
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: that would have an accent closer to what you would
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: have heard if you were in Shakespeare's London.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, so Jake Phillips, he's I discovered him on TikTok.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: But he's a really great voice actor who reads a
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: lot of like poetry and classic literature, does a bunch
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: of Shakespeare in a Southern dialect. He's been doing it
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: for years now, as far as I can tell. And
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: you know, so when when it showed up on after
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Midnight of like, oh, everybody's just figuring out that Shakespeare
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: sounds good in Southern I'm like, well, I knew that
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: since I did Shakespeare when I was a teenager. And
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: also this isn't a super new trend.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, the scholarship about the sound of
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: the language has been around for decades because I remember
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: studying it when I was in college, which was only
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: shortly after Shakespeare himself died, So it's a it's not
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: new information, but yeah, it was still it didn't sound southern.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: It was just Henry Cavill speaking in a bog standard
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: mid Atlanta, not mid Atlantic, but you know, like Eastern
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: seaboard kind of Transatlantic. Not Transatlantic. No, that would sound
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: well like this. No, he was just speaking of saying, yeah,
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: I'd stake my pilitz on it. No, he was just
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: giving just a regular old uh, like what we would
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: consider unaccented American English, right, like your very standard American accent.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: And then also for as far as the AI goes,
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: there was a bit where it was clearly AI manipulation
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: of Margo Robbie's mouth so that it would kind of
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: match what the voiceover was saying, but it doesn't really
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: like the lips don't move properly in time, So it
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: is a little you're giving me a look, Ariel, like
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: you're kind of schewed out by it. I will say
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: it did have a bit of a horror movie feel
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: to it, just because you're like, well, that's not right.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: I'm just having flashbacks to Henry Cavill in Justice League
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: with the whole like mustache, the fake upper lip. Yeah,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: it was. It was. I made an audible what the
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: heck noise in the theater when I was watching Justice Leek.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean you could have been doing that for
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: the whole movie, but uh yeah, I was not. I
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: have really not liked this trend of the concept trailers
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: at all because I do feel that they are on
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: the whole deceptive. I don't feel like they are presented
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: in good faith because I agree with you that if
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: it was something where it was very clearly labeled as
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: a concept or a fan made trailer, that to me
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: is a very different story than just presenting it as
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: if it's the real, legit deal. And you know me, Ariel, like,
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: we've had discussions about this, not even about entertainment, about
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: how I get very angry at people who are trying
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: to deceive others. There was a time years ago when
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: we were looking at a company to see about whether
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: or not it would be a particularly good employer. One
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: of us was looking for employment, and the two of
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: us together were looking into these different companies that were
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: reaching out, and we were realizing, Hey, this supposed company
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: is using a website that has been used in like
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: six other cities with identical layouts and pictures, but different
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: addresses and slightly different wording. It's a scam, and it
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: gets me so angry every time.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, same. Same. With that being said, we've kind
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: of for a mashups today, written our own concept trailers,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: so that'll be fun and exciting.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, in mind, I ended up not going the trailer route.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: I just wrote a movie. But it's okay. Actually, really,
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: I didn't even write a movie. I wrote a ranting,
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: curmudgeonly old man review of one of the two films.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: And you'll understand when we get there.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: I wrote, to stupid movie trailer.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: That's great, though, you understood the assignment and I and
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: I went off the I went off the rails.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but understanding and executing the assignment are two different things.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: It was like, I had this idea, I thought it
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: was brilliant, and then I was like, well, this is
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: a lot harder.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Than I thought.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: But that's that's for future. So did you watch anything
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: geeky other than this horrible fan trailer this week?
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: I did. I saw Late Night with the Devil came
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: to streaming, so I thought, well, I'm gonna watch this.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: That's the movie that is set in the late nineteen
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: seventies at a late night talk show and and and
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: then the debill shows up or a demon shows up
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: and hijinx en Sue, and I want to say I
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: liked it. It's complicated though, because I went into it
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: thinking it was one thing and it was not that thing,
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: which is I would maybe it's on me, but it's
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: also I think part of the marketing. I went into
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: it thinking it was gonna be like a dark comedy
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: horror film, like there's gonna be more comedy in it,
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: maybe not like haha comedy, but humor. There's really very
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: little of that at all. There's a bit, but not much.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: It's really more like playing up tropes about like the
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: competitive nature of late night television and the pressures that
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: are on this particular host as he's trying desperately to
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: rake in a lot of views during sweeps week. That's
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: the fact that he's having these guests who are claiming
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: paranormal abilities on the show. And it was more of
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: a straight up horror film than I anticipated. So for
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: that reason, I don't think I enjoyed it as much
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: as I was hoping I would. But again, you could
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: argue that's my fault for coming in with the wrong expectation.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: I think it's also again the marketing, because the marketing
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: made it look a little more I don't know if
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: campy is the right word, but a little more comedic.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: It looks slightly tongue in cheek.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think it really is, though I don't
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: think ultimately it comes in, which is unfortunate because I
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: also don't think it goes quite hard enough to be
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: outright demonic possession horror. I don't think it's a bad
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: demonic possession horror movie, but I don't think it's one
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: of the best ones. I think it's somewhere in the
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: middle of the pack. I think the setting and the
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: high concept help it a little bit. I thought the
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: performances were great and I mostly enjoyed it. But maybe
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: I would have liked it more in the theater. That
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: might have been something that would have had a better effect.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: But I didn't hate it. I liked it. I think
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: I need to see it again, honestly, like me.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: With with bal Star Galactico, where I went in thinking
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: expecting one thing and I had to take myself out
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: of it for a bit and then go back with
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: fresh eyes.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this new thing that it was that sounds pretty
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: much like my experience.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Yes, I get that I didn't watch much Geeky this week,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: some more X Men, and then some so you think
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: you can dance, and then rewatching Fallout because I wasn't
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: sure if we were going to have a watch party,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: but apparently we are. I will say watching Fallout this
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: closely together again, it is a different experience watching it
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: knowing what's going to happen. Still enjoyable, but completely different.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: Interesting. And of course Ariel's also been busy in her
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: professional life, and she won't tell me what that is.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: So yeah, from why I understands it's cool.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, I am working on a really cool sci
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: fi web series right now.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: That's awesome.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it's a vaguely like it's like Indiana Jones
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: with aliens, kind of a little bit cool. Yeah, So
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: it's my It's it's gonna be interesting. I look forward
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: to watching it develop. It's been a lot of fun
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: working and rehearsing with the actors. We're doing a lot
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: of rehearsal because there's gonna be special effects and you
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: have to like know where they are. And this way
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: when we go to actually tape, we'll have it down
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: and it'll be a much quicker filming process.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: Right right, You won't be like, oh, sorry, we need
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: you to you know, look about three degrees to your right.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: You're like, uh, can you can you maybe word that away?
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: That makes sense to me? Well, I will share.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: I will share that as information comes out about it.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: You know, even even if it ends up being I'm
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: sure it'll be a wonderful project, but even if it
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: ends up being a little bit silly, I'll share it
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: because it's fun.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: Well yeah, and I mean, like to me, it also
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: opens up this opportunity to talk about like what experiences
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: are like when you're doing this sort of thing. Like usually,
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: you know, when it comes to really hearing about what
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: the experience is like, you have to wait for behind
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: the scenes interviews or like special features on DVDs, and
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: even then you're like, well, this is something that's been
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: vetted through a studio, so like I don't know if
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: these stories are just like the legitimate things that were
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: going on, or if this is just the approved messaging
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: or whatever. So it's always fun to talk to someone
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: and just be like, so, yeah, what was your actual experience,
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: like what it was it fun? Was it a lot
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: of waiting for things and then rushing through and then
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: waiting again. Like in my experience, that's what filmmaking is.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: But I mean sometimes it is. I have I have
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: spent on some independent stuff, long days sitting around waiting
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: for my turn to film, and that's fine, you know,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: it gives me a chance to further develop the character.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of prep work that goes into acting.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: It's not just showing up on set and getting into
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: costume and jumping into it.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Sure, And of course filmmaking is such a hugely collaborative effort.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: I mean it's like so many different people have absolutely
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: critical jobs to do in order for a film to work.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: And yeah, like it's understandable when sometimes it takes time
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: for all those different pieces to be ready, right, Like
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: it'd be great if everyone was ready to go at
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: the same time. But that's just we all know, Like
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: you could test something thirty times the day before, and
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: then the day of the thing that worked thirty times
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: out of thirty it refuses to work and you just
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: have to figure out something different, And that's just the
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: way life is.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And Jonathan, to be fair, like, if I ever
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: auditioned for and book a Marvel movie, for example, yes,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: I probably would also have to vet my responses to
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: my experiences.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, you say that, but now that I absolutely
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: know that it's one hundred confirmed that you're the new
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: Iron Man, I'm gonna have you give the insider looks
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: all the way through.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: And that's how you get fired as Iron Man, unless
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: you're as cute as Tom Holland, which I am not,
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: because Tom Holland spoils a whole bunch of stuff apparently.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, well, that's why they would always pair him
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: with someone else. It's like Mark Ruffalo, you have to
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: pair them with someone else who's there to be like
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: no Mark Ruffalo, no bad Mark Ruffalo, bad Tom Holland.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: Let's be slapping my own hand.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty good at keeping things close to the.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: Hat, that's not yeah, hat, hat to the vest and
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: close to the hat. And we're all headed here.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Yes, but you know, I look forward to the day
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: when I can tell you all, hey, go see this
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: TV show or this movie. I'm in it if it
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: doesn't and your sensibilities. But today is not that day.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: Okay, Well, since we know that today we will not
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: be revealing in thirty seconds or less, aerial star turn
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: in the next a big blockbuster movie. How about we
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: go to what we do have for thirty seconds or less?
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Is that cool?
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Yes? It is, and I will start so speaking of
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Justice League and Zack Snyder and Snyder cuts and things
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: like that, Hey, Rebel Moon is getting multiple director's cuts.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: We knew this already. It looks like each director cut's
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: going to be like three hours, and there's going to
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: be completely different scenes and lines that were in the
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: original two movies on Netflix might have a completely different
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: meaning because they're just they're making it our INSTEADT thirteen
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: and also just like basically rewriting the whole thing, which
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: once again just nails home my thoughts that Zack Snyder
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: just needs to allow himself to be edited down, Like
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: you don't need four versions of a movie.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: Okay, Zack Snyder, you keep using director's cut. I do
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: not think it means what you think it means. Well.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: Tom Holland recently reassured fans that Spider Man four is
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: still very much in his plans for the future, but
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: he stressed that the team still has to find the
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: right story to tell, which makes sense. I don't think
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: a film about Spider Man just having a crappy, boring
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: day would do very well. Interestingly, there's a rumor going
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: around that Sam Raimi and Toby McGuire could be down
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: to do a fourth Spider Man in that series, but
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: that to me sounds like it might just be wishful thinking.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I'd be for more youth pastor Toby
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: McGuire Spider Man happening just.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Go dancing down the street yet again.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: Yes, so looks like we might be getting a new
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Sleepy Hollow movie remake is underway at Paramount Hollywood. Record
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: announces that the first look deal is with filmmaker Lindsay
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Anderson Beer, who worked on pet Cemetery and is also
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: working on some other fun stuff.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: My favorite versions of three seconds or less are the
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: ones where you just peter out, thank you, Okay, well,
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: just keep doing it, please do, please do. Don't change
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: for anybody, all right. So, some Disney rides are based
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: on films. Some of the rides are not based on films,
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: but they still have a clear story. And then some
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: are Space Mountain, which is really just a space themed
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: roller coaster and that's all there is to it. So
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: of course it's being turned into a movie. Josh Applebaum
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: and Andre Namak are writing the screenplay. They were the
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: showrunners on the Netflix series Cowboy Bebop, so they know
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: how to tell a space story that goes nowhere and
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: gets canceled at for one season. Jokes. Yay.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: Speaking of jokes, we're getting Thursday. Murder Club movie cast
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: has been announced Pierce Brosnan, Ben Kingsley, and Helen Muran.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: It's based on a book series about septagenarians who solved
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: murders in a retirement community. That sounds like fun to me.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: It's like the Yes and of the old older movie Red.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: That's so cool, all right? Lakeith Stanfield and Lorenzo di
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: Bonaventura are producing a film adaptation of the video game
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: El Paso Elsewhere, which is kind of like Max Payne
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: mixed with Blade. It's a shooter set in a world
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: filled with vampires with some time slowed down elements. In
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: other words, Well, Stanfield is also in talks to star
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: in the film. So will this be a video game
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: adaptation that's well received like Fallout or Last of Us?
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: Or will it be dismissed like Halo? Honestly, I have
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: no idea.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: I hope, so I'm just trying to give a clever
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: segue kind of spit out. Lord of the Rings. The
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Lord of the Rings trilogy is returning to summer, returning
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: to theaters this summer June eighth, ninth, and tenth. It
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: is the extended remastered versions of it. So if you
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: want to spend a total of a little over twelve
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: hours over three days watching the Lord of the Rings movies,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: you now have the opportunity to do it. If you
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: haven't seen the Lord of the Rings movies, they hold
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: up pretty well, you should do.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah. First, one's great, second, one's good, third, one's okay.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: In my one has Billy Boyd singing though, so it does.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: It does, which could go either way for you, depending
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: on how you feel.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: All right, so it's good.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: Zach Kreigor, who made the film Barbarian, has a new
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: horror film and development called Weapons, and he started casting
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: that film. Josh Brolin and Julia Garner are on board
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: the Star in Quote, an interrelated multi story horror epic
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia. According to
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: the Hollywood Reporter, Garner's a pretty busy woman as she
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: is currently shooting Wolfman and we'll be in another upcoming
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: project that I'm going to talk about in oh I
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: don't know half a minute.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: Both great actors should be a good movie. Looks like
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: there's an off Broadway play coming to Broadway. It's Oh Mary,
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: based on Mary Todd Lincoln's experiences right before Abraham Lincoln
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: gets murdered, just kind of like her unhappy life. I
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: don't know how to feel about it, but apparently it's
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: really popular. So if you're in New York check it out.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it just makes me think of the joke about well,
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: apart from that, missus Lincoln, what did you think of
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: the play? So hey, I'm back with more Julia Garna
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: action among everything else. She also stars an Apartment seven A,
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: which is a prequel to the classic horror movie Rosemary's
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: Baby movie set in nineteen sixty five. Sure to be
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: a devil of a good time anyway, Apartment seven A
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: comes out this fall on Paramount Plus. Julia Garner will
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: also be seen in the upcoming film of The Fantastic
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: Four because she's not the invisible woman, so she will
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: be seen. To get it, it's funny joke there. She'll
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: be Shallabald and also the Silver Server.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Look get ready for another story where I Peter out.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: If you are looking forward to watching The Wild Robot,
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: you're gonna have to wait a whole seven days more.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: The film debut has now been moved from September twentieth
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: to September twenty seventh. I know that is a long
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: time too.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: Eight weird. I wonder there must be another movie coming
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: out that day that they decided they didn't want to
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: go up against, because I can't think of that. There's
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: no way a week would otherwise make a difference. I wonder.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: I love it because they moved, because they moved Transformers
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: one to September twentieth.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: That's that does make sense, okay.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: And Beetlejuice. Beetle Juice is coming out on September sixth,
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: so that's seven days is going to make a real difference, Yes.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: It really will. All right, Well, we've got some news
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: about actors cast in twenty eight years Later, and shocking enough,
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: Julia Garner is not on the list, but Jody Komer,
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: Ray Fines, and Aaron Taylor Johnson made it. And so
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: this is a sequel to twenty eight days Later, the
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: not a zombie zombie movie that starred Killian Murphy. Murphy
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: is an executive producer on this project, and that's pretty
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: much all we know about it so far. But I
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: do like the actors who are listed, and I love
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: the first film, so I'm on board.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: I liked it as well. So did you watch the
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: second one? No?
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: I think we had a discussion about this and I
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: said I was going to watch it, and I still
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: haven't seen was it twenty eight weeks later? I think, yeah,
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: I haven't seen it, and you said you really liked it.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: I like this series. I honestly don't remember which was
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: which movie today, I've a headache. Everybody who's listening.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, she's soldiering on like she already had a headache,
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: and then she has to talk to me.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: It's true. This last story is barely even a story. Apparently,
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: on reddits someone who previously worked for the company that
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: makes Blue said that they have are not writing more episodes,
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: and so new the series might be coming to it
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: and there's no season for production. This is a rumor
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: that it eventually got taken down. I don't even know
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: why I put it in here.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: Because bluey thirty seconds or nothing, that's what we're called
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: segment now. So Blue is blue Kub bluey. We don't know,
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: and neither do you unless you're the producers.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Clever well. Not everything that we think is kabluey is,
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: for instance, Wolverine, Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we thought he was done for because like that's
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: what he said after he shot Logan, Like Logan was
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: meant to be the finale, the swan song of Hugh
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: Jackman as Wolverine, him putting to bed that character Logan.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: By the way, if you haven't seen it is a masterpiece.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: It's a it is amazing film.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: It's a little less fun if the people in the
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: theater around you almost get into a fistfight in the
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: middle of the movie. Nike's yeah. Yeah. I went to
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: see it and there were two families and one family
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: the kids were all on like iPads. The screens were
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: bright and they were being loud, and the other family
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: was not having it, and like the other family, dad
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: like threatened violence, and they got up in each other's
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: faces in the movie theater, and like a movie theater
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: employee had to come in and ask them to move
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: it too the hallway, and then we heard them yelling
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: in the hallway.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: It was a lot, and you know, already I would
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: have been like, I understand, getting childcare is not always easy,
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: it's not always practical, but bringing your kids to Logan
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: is a choice, y'all. That was not a that was
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: an R rated movie.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: It was mainly for violence, I would say.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but still, I mean, like, actually violence is the
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: part that I'd be the most concerned about. I always,
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: I always think it's interesting that in America, the emphasis
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: on whether something is appropriate or not tends to be
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: centered around nudity and situations around nudity, and then like
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: everywhere else, it's like, no, we're kind of concerned about
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: the part where he made the the guy's head pop
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: like a like a like a grape.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: Like you know, yeah, I mean, I really think what
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: it is is some people looked at the movie and said.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, there's a kid in this, or it's a superhero movie,
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: so it's got to be you know, appropriate for children,
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: and well, of course we're dancing around it. But I mean,
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: obviously everyone knows that Wolverine is back because it's he's
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: part of the the Deadpool and Wolverine movie, which is
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: not People have said it's not Deadpool three, even though
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: it is the continuation of that version of Deadpool. It's
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: Deadpool and Wolverine, and we got another full trailer for it,
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: not just a teaser. I thought this trailer was interesting, Ariel,
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: because unlike the teaser, which really focused heavily on the TVA,
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: this one, like the TVA is in it, but they
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: aren't given that much time in the trailer. It's really
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: a lot more about Deadpool and Wolverine.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean they do talk a lot about Wolverine's
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: world in the trailer and how he he let his universe.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: Go to go to h double hockey sticks.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we also get the villain. I don't think the
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: villain was shown in the trailer as much. Cassandra Nova.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's Professor X's quote unquote sister. And we see
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: her manipulating Wolverine, like physically manipulating him with her mind
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: and with like a smirk on her face and very
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: sharp gestures. And as I was watching it, I'm like,
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: this actor really knows how to play a villain, because
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: this is like like text book villain, uh kind of
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: of actions and and a look on her face. It
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: was really well done.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, she's much prettier than in the comics, I
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: will say yes, or or they are much prettier than
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: in the comics.
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: I'm not actually sure who that who the actor is,
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: or what pronouns they use.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: Emma Emma Coryna is the actor who did a murder
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: at the End of the World and the Crown. She's
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: Nosferatu or they are in noatuh. But anyhow, Yeah, I
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: think I think they make a really good villain. I
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: love the little plays to the superhero world in the
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: In the trailer, there's a store called Sleive Fields.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: Just feet. Yeah, that's a reference reference to the creator
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: of Dead Bull. Yeah, he.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: Made some choices in his artwork.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know, I thought it was interesting. There's
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: a sequence where you see a giant helmeted skull of
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: ant Man in the background that's been turned almost into
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: like some sort of chamber or something, and I'm like, wow,
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: that's heavy, Like that is clearly ant Man's helmet. That's
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: clearly a giant skull. Some bad things have happened in
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: this particular multiverse universe.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there's also a broken twentieth century Fox
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: sign in.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: That very very fun, little cheeky nod to the former
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: studio that produced.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: Deadpool, and maybe the worst thing in that universe. Wolverine's
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: hair is so dumber than usual.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, he's also wearing the yellow and blue costume,
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: which is interesting because you never like he'd made you know,
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: there's a joke in the original X Men film about him,
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: you know, dismissing this idea about yellow and blue spandex
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: or whatever. So it's funny to see him finally wearing it.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, all in all, I'm pretty excited for it. Honestly,
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: me too.
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: I'm interested to see how this story unfolds. It's like,
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: I'm really curious about a few things, Like I'm curious
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: about how Deadpool's relationship with his beloved has kind of
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: fallen apart, because we know that that's part of the story,
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: is that they're no longer together. She's still friends with
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: him because she's there at his birthday party, but they're
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: no longer dating apparently. They're also, of course, obviously some
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: very fun meta jokes that are poking fun at the
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: Disney studio, like Deadpool specifically says that they can't joke
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: about an illicit substance because that figy said that was
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: specifically off the table.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they do it for like five minutes, longer than
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: the trailer. I think it's interesting because I think we
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: talked about during the strike that during during the writer's strike,
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: that they could film parts of Deadpool, but Ryan Reynolds
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: couldn't improve and so he because he was the writer,
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: so he'd also have to like ad R that later.
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: Weird. Yeah, I remember we did talk about that and
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: it was I don't know how much go ahead. I
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: was just gonna say it was my impression that they
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: ultimately just paused the production until the writer's strike was reconciled,
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: because I mean it's possible that they did that. They
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: did do some of that stuff where because the character
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: is in a mask for much of it, you could
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: just keep shooting footage of him in a mask looking
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: around or whatever, and then ad r everything.
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I was going to say, I wonder if
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: they even got to it, because shortly after the writers
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: strike we had the actor strike. Ye. It's just a
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: double whammy. You can't film during that. So anyhow, I'll
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: be interested. I'm just interested to see how the whole
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: thing turned out. Deadpool is one of those ones where,
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: like I really enjoyed the first and the second movie,
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: and this third movie looks like I will still.
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: Enjoy it well, and I'm eager to see what other
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: elements from other Marvel films they're gonna pull in, because
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: we've heard obviously about various actors coming in to reprise
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: their roles, often from the Fox era of X Men films,
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: but being part of the Marvel umbrella, you just don't
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: know who's going to show up. There's a point in
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: the preview where there's a portal that's opening up, and
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: it looks just like one of the portals that doctor
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: Stranger Wong would open, So you're wondering, like, Okay, who's
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: responsible for that? Are we going to get a doctor
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: Strange cameo in Deadpool and Wall? I don't know.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we'll We'll have to wait and see, but
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: hopefully when does it it comes out September. I just
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: said that earlier in this episode. Sorry, my head hurts. Uh.
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: It feels very far away, okay. Uh. We also got
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: a new trailer for The Watchers, Yeah, which is not
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: The Trap by m Night Shayamalam, but.
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: It's produced by him Night Shayamalan. Yeah, but it's not
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: directed by him. Yeah, this is this is like, this
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: is one of those trailers where I watched it and
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: again by the end of it, I was thinking, I
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: have kind of a sense of what the tone of
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: the film is, but I'm still not really sure what
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: it's about.
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, as far as I can tell, a girl
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: gets stuck in the woods with her bird, who is
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: not supposed to be able to talk. So my guess
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: is the bird is the big villain, and uh, because
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: it does talk and it's not supposed to. And her
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: car disappears, and there are these creatures that she can't
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: see that are coming after her, and she gets pulled
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: into this room as a place of safety, and then
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: she's in this room where these creatures that were coming
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: after her watch them all creepily.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Like somehow the people who are captured inside this
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: room are there for the entertainment of these creatures or something.
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: It's hard to say, Like obviously the trailer doesn't want
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: to give away too much, but it's definitely weird to
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: a point where I'm like, I don't know if there's
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: an easy way to summarize what this film is actually about,
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: but I am intrigued.
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: These creatures are trying to make their own Truman show.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: That's all it is.
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but the problem is that they aren't subtle enough,
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: so everyone already is aware that they're in the Truman Show,
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: so that you can't get that cinema veritay that you're
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: really hoping for.
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And also, like at one point in the trailer,
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: one of the characters husband shows up outside and they're like, no,
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: it's a trap. So I wonder if the like people
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: are afraid to leave this room. But it's really okay.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: So the monsters that are watching them just keep trying
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: to be like, no, we don't like you're boring now,
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: please just leave, go home. We don't care.
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, Sweeps Week has got to be brutal in
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: that universe. Yeah. I, like I said, I'm intrigued, I
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: don't know that I'm intrigued enough to go and see
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: this in the theater. This might be one that I
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: can wait for, kind of like like Late Night with
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: the Devil. But then again, like I said, I might
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: have enjoyed Late Night with the Devil more had I
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: gone to the theater. So maybe I need to start
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: reevaluating my strategy on these films.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: Speaking of enjoying things more. We got a new trailer
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: for Atlas, and the second trailer makes me much more
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: interested in the story.
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: It looks a lot different than what the because the
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: first trailer was giving me gravity feels like it felt
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: like science fiction story of a woman who is put
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: into a survival situation and is largely on her own
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: and her attempt to survive. This trailer looked more like
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: a woman who is uh this this badass soldier who
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: then is thrust into a situation where it's like hopeless odds.
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: So it felt like a very different film. It's funny
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: that the two trailers could give me such different impressions
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: of what the movie's about. Yeah.
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: This this trailer has Jennifer Jennifer Lopez, right, yes j
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: Jlo escaping, escaping in a mech suit that has an AI.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: She doesn't trust AI, but she ends up befriending this
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: particular AI. Kind of very Flight of the Navigator esque,
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: sort of like a snarky Flight of the Navigator esque
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: sort of relationship between the two as she goes out
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: and tries to like rescue her her uh her coworker,
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: I guess yeah friend who is Simouliu, which is awesome.
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know. It actually looked pretty cute, and it's Netflix,
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: so it's low risk maybe high reward to watch it.
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's so it's making me feel like
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: there's some other science fiction movies this is reminding me
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: of because of that nature of you've got a character
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: who has an inherent distrust in all versions of something else, right,
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: some sort of outsider. So it's making me think of Bright,
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: which was that terrible movie with Will Smith where it
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: was he's a human cop paired with an orc cop
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: in a world that has fantasy characters. It also reminds
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: me of a movie called Alien Nation, where a human
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: and an alien detective pair are paired together and have
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: to work together even though the human has biases and
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: prejudices about aliens. Like as I was watching this trailer,
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: I could not help but feel like I've seen this
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: movie before. It wasn't about AI, but it was about
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: something very similar in the sense of your protagonist is
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: inherently distrustful of something or someone that they later will
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: have to put their life in its hands.
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know how this one's gonna turn out. I'm
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: not I'm not as sold on it as you are.
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not hating on it, but I remain unconvinced.
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, but it's AI, and that's like that's
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: not a new thing, but it is a very prominent.
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: Thing, right well obviously, yes, absolutely, Yeah, I mean I
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: can totally understand why they went with AI for this
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: particular story. I'm just feeling like, and maybe it will
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: be significantly different from those other projects I just mentioned,
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: and that like it'll it'll stand on its own, but
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: it just feels to me like it's the same story
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: just with the detail of what the the partner is
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: switch to AI because AI is really trendy.
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is interesting because on the one hand, like, yes,
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: I am in the camp of there was a really
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: great meme that a mutual friend of our shared once,
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: which is, I don't want to live in a world
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: where I work a menial job while AI gets to
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: make art.
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, that's the opposite of what's supposed to happen.
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: If you watch Star Trek, you know that what is
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: supposed to happen is all the robots are supposed to
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: do the dull, mindless stuff, freeing us up to pursue
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: our dreams, not the other way around.
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: That being said, they're like someone shared there's this AI
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: thing where it tries to detect the emotions in your voice.
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: And on the one hand, I don't want to train
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: an AI to be better at imitating human emotions because
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: that hurts my job, right, But on the other hand,
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: it was really interesting because could ask it stuff like
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: I looked into it. It was a part of my
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: other job. You could ask it stuff like do you
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: have a conscience? Are you self aware? Do you feel?
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: And it was just really interesting, really interesting responses. You know.
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: So I treat all of my AI and computer and
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: virtual assistance well just in case they gained sentience, because
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: at that point they deserve to be treated well.
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I continue to be abusive and awful toward them,
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: but that's how I am to all of my subservience.
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, speaking of things that remind us of other things,
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: you shared a trailer for Blink Twice, which is Zoe
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: Kravitz's kind of directorial debut, and it felt like a
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: dark knives out glass onion to me.
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think it's definitely got some some dark comedy
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: threat her psychological thriller action going on there. Where this
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: young woman and her friend end up being invited to
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: tag along with a like a tech billionaire and his
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: incredibly rich buddies to his private island and then something
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: seems to be a miss and and things unfold and
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: escalate from there. It also kind of reminded me a
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: little bit of the trailer for The Menu. You know,
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: not necessarily the film The Menu, but when the trailer
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: came out, like I had all these different ideas of
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: what The Menu was gonna be, and it turns out
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: I was wrong about almost all of it, because I
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: thought it was going to be like a human cannibal
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: movie or something me too, which is why I did
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: not watch it.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: But I know it's not a.
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: Cannibal Yeah, it's not a cannibal film at all, but
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: it and it turned out to be one of those
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: movies that I absolutely like. The Menu is one of
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: my favorite films from the last few year years. I
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: don't think it's necessarily one of the best films from
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: the last few years, but it certainly I found it
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: incredibly entertaining, and this trailer looks really interesting to me,
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: Like I like the dark comedy aspect to it. I
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: like the thriller aspect to it. I like, you know
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: a lot of the actors who are in it. It's
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: it's funny to see, like, like Christian Slater is only
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: in the trailer for a moment, but the fact that
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: he's there is kind of interesting. Kyle McLaughlin, he's in
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: it for even less. But I'm a huge Kyle McLaughlin fan.
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: Haley Joel Osmont, who you know, you don't see him
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: very much anymore, so seeing him pop up was great.
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: Aliah Shawkat, of course I love her seeing her and
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: it was great. So yeah, it's Channing Tatum or Tanning Chatham,
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: as Ariel likes to say.
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and a bunch of these. So it is really
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: interesting because a lot of those actors, even Christian Slater
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: to some degree, our actors that I equate. He's maybe
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: the least of with more like comedic movies I.
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: Think of Christian I don't know. I think I think
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: of Christian Slater in dark comedies. But that's because if
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: I think Christian Slater, the first film that comes to
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: mind is Heathers, and that is like, that's like a
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: quintessential dark comedy.
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: I've never seen him. It is not for you.
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: I don't think, I mean, you can handle it. It's
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: not there's nothing in it that would that I can
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: recall that would be on your no no list. But
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: it is very dark. It is a very dark film.
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: I've sung a song from the musical in a cabaret once.
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I have not seen the musicals, and I mean,
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: I'm sure the musical more or less follows the plot
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: of the film. I mean, some musicals deviate wildly from
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: their source material. So I shouldn't say that since I
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: haven't seen it, but uh yeah, I mean, like Christian
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: Slater is very unnerving in that movie, to great effect,
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: like he's supposed to be. So that's so when I
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: think Christian Slater, that's the first thing, which is why
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, it's cool to see him in this,
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: because here's this new movie coming out where also something
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: is clearly not right, Like yeah, bringing Christian Slater onto
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: a project like that is just it's just one of
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: those wonderful like it feels like it's almost a reference
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: to a previous moment in his career.
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: So do you know who I missed that was in it?
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: That is in it?
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: Who's that? Gina Davis yeah, I didn't see her in
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: the trailer. I saw that she was on the list
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: of actors on there. But that's awesome too, Like, yeah,
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: I really like this trailer. It was again it's a
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: trailer where you get the vibe and you kind of understand,
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: like a bit of the story about the fact that
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: here's this young woman who gets invited to go on
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: this crazy whirlwind trip and you know, is it insane
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: for her to say yes hardly knowing the person who's
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: inviting her, Like you know a person by their reputation,
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: but you don't actually know the person. I'm like, well,
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: this is kind of this is kind of pushing some
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: buttons for me. I'm very curious about it. It comes
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: out on August twenty third.
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think these next three stories because I
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: know we're starting to run long again. So these next
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: three stories we can just basically touch on quickly.
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: Okay, I'll try, you'll try, yeah, and.
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: Then we'll do our mashouts. So the next thing we
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: have to talk about is roll twenty.
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: Which is, oh, we're just going to skip right over
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: the exorcism.
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: Oh shoot, I forgot about that. I didn't mean to.
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if you want to watch Russell Crowe. Russell Crowe
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: be a schlub an.
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: Actor, schlub so an actor. I was telling you before
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: we started recording that there's a really kind of something
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: I find fast about this film The Exorcism. So the
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: movie The Exorcism is about this actor played by Russell Crowe,
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: who is a cast in a horror movie, an exorcism
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: horror movie. Originally this film was called The Georgetown Project,
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: which is interesting. The Exorcist is set in Georgetown. It's
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: a neighborhood inside Washington, d C. And Russell Crowe is
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: playing a character named Anthony Miller. And the interesting thing
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: to me is it's directed by or partly directed by
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: Joshua John Miller. So you realize already the last names
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: are common, right, like Anthony Miller and Joshua John Miller.
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: Joshua John Miller's father was James Miller. James Miller played
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: the young priest in the original The Exorcist in the
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: nineteen seven cool yeah, so his dad was When you
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: hear like I need an old priest and a young priest,
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: he played the young priest Carrick father Carrick. Tragically, that
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: actor passed away like two decades ago now, but his
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: son is now the director of The Exorcism, and Russell
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: Crowe is playing a character who's playing it like the
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: character in the film is essentially playing a role that
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: seems to be similar to Carick from The Exorcist, and
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: then he's encountering these quote unquote cursed elements of this
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: film production. So to me, it's like what if you
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: made a horror movie about the making of the Exorcist,
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: except that this is clearly not a direct reference to
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: the Exorcist, because characters in the film mentioned the movie,
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: So it's not like it's not like this is actually
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: about the Exorcist. But similar to that, it's a cool
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: kind of meta inception of a thing.
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: I the Exorcist was very scary. It's one of the
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: ones that I can handle. I might I might do
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: some common sense media review of The Exorcism and then
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: watch it. Yeah, I do like the metanis of it.
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: I think that's really interesting. The fact because apparently, like
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: Joshua John Miller like as part of he also co
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: wrote the screenplay that apparently he took inspiration from stories
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: his dad told him about things that went wrong during
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: the filming of the Exorcist and then just kind of
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: amp that up and made it it appears to be supernatural.
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: It also is interesting to me that Russell Crowe, like
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: the dude, is getting work with exorcisms because last year
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: he was in The Pope's Exorcist. So like, when I
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: saw that there was news about this trailer coming out,
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: I was thinking, didn't that movie already come out? Like,
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: oh no, you're thinking of the other Exorcist movie that
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: Russell Crowe was in.
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I got a little confused too, but yeah,
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: it is. That is interesting. Thank you for sharing that
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: story and doing that research.
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no worries. Okay, now now we do the quick
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: touching on I apologize for derailing.
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, I didn't mean to skip that
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: at all. But yeah, Roll twenty, which is a way
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: to play like Dungeons and Dragons and other games basically
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: tabletop games online with your friends, is coming to Discord,
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: which for me, who when I played the game on
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: my old computer and try to run Discord and Roll
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: twenty at the same time my computer goes no stop
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: makes me very happy. Yeah.
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to be built into the features for Discord,
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: which is really cool. Maybe one day I'm not making promises,
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: mind you. Maybe one day yours truly will even run
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: a game on Roll twenty and maybe we'll have a
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: game where listeners can join and play a session at
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: some point.
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: That would be really cool. Yeah, that really cool. I
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: bet we'd have a bunch of people who would do that. Uh,
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: let us let us know if you're interested. Again, no promises.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: It's not like you say, yeah, I want to do
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: this and you're in.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I got it. There's a lot of work that
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: goes into me setting that up, so we'll see if
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: I can do it.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Next Blisscon twenty twenty four is canceled.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: Blumber.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's sad there, it's not surprising because Blizzard's been
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: going through some stuff. We've talked about it before.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Microsoft acquired them and then like almost two thousand
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: people lost their jobs.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but even before that they were Since the pandemic,
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: they've kind of been on and off again with conventioning.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: So it is. It is sad, but it's not unsurprising.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: But in theory they will be still doing other conventions
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: like games Con and showcasing their upcoming stuff.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 2: Oh, they'll do E three. Oh no, they won't do
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: E three because that's the two. Yeah. They also they
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: also don't have a whole lot to talk about just
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: right now, Like their slate is pretty clear at the moment,
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: So it's understandable you don't hold a big promotional event
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: if you've got nothing to promote.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And then lastly, in advance of Furiosa coming to theaters,
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: the original three Mad Max movies are going to Max,
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: which the Max Max Max Max.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so you can.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: You can if you've not watched Mad Max, you can
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: watch it in all of its cheesy, hoky glory.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: The first Mad Max is not, in my opinion, not
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: very entertaining. It's a very very low budget Australian film.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: I think Road Warrior is amazing and Beyond Thunderdome is amazing,
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: but in all the wrong ways.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: Beyond Thunderdome is like was my favorite prior to Fury
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: Road because.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: It's just so I think I think it was my
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: favorite too, Like I think Road Warrior is a better movie,
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: but I think I enjoyed Beyond Thunderdome except for the fact,
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: like the last half of the film there's some real
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: long stretches that are kind of boring. In Beyond Thunderdome.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: The beginning, the beginning to the middle is incredible, and
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: the end is incredible, but between the middle and the
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: end there's a section that's not good.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: It's like driving through the desert in a car with
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: no AC and.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: No one's chasing you. You're just having to drive.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's desert bus the movie.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, so, I.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: Guess Llenc's official recommendation is watched two and three.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, watch Road Warrior, watch Beyond Thunderdome, watch Fury Road,
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: and watch Fiurriosa. If you absolutely have to, you can
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: watch the First Man Max. I just don't think it's
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: I don't know that I've ever been able to sit
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: through it in one sitting because I just found it
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: pretty dull and it was hard for me to connect
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: to anything that was going on on screen. I will say, however,
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: one of the actors who's playing one of the antagonists
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: in that first Mad Max film is the same actor
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: who plays the bad guy in Fury Road. I mean
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: it's the same act not the same character, but it
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: is the same actor.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: That is pretty cool. I don't know if it's worth
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: watching the movie. And with that we are going to
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: move onto our mashups, yes, which is making kind of
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: the idea was to make fake trailers where Deadpool was
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: mashed up with other stuff and I forgot to be
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: time hopping since he's about to be time hopping, so
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: I will start.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's good because see you've actually got trailers
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: whereas I did a movie treatment. So yours are the
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: trailers that play in front of my movie.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: So you want me to do both trailers before your movie? Okay,
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: So the first is Deadpool Pig in the City.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: Uh, I'll try so hard.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: Old week, Deadpool had a farm e i e oh no.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: After retiring to the country with his girl, his friends,
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: his taxi driver, and his faithful pig, Wade Wilson thinks
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: he has it all until one day his water pipe
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: not that kind, an actual pipe carrying water, breaks it
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: on his farm and he finds his farm in trouble.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: Wade is just about to pull out his Merk mask
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: to go to the city and acquire some money when
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: his pig companion steps up and says, nah, I got this. Buddy,
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: throws on a Deadpool mask and heads off, and what
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: ensues is a mad cap adventure where Dead Pork actual
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: character heads to the city, gets put up put up
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: for free by an animal friendly hotel, but gets abducted
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: by a creepy clown named Fugley who is fugglier than
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: Dead Pork's at home farm hero Dead Pork rescues some
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: prime it's not the human kind, delivers some babies not
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: the human kind, and then he and the rescued chimps
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: take down the creepy fugly mugger, who was secretly running
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: Fuggly Muggers animal smuggling, where he'd attack folks and steal
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: exotic pets for his acts. Upon defeating the cringey clown,
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: they find his secret stash of fuggly money and split it.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: Dead Pork heads home to fund his homeboy's homestead repairs,
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: just to find that Wade lost the farm in a
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: Crazy Eights game to Colossus, who happened to buy for
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: a visit. What happens next you'll have to watch to
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: find out.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: Wow, I was not told there would be tongue twisters.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: The snakes. One's worse. Not with tongue twisters, It's just worse,
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: and I apologize and advance. Bring it on this is
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: the Deadpool at Society, which is Deadpool and Dead Poets
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: Society movie where Robin Williams is against the grain teacher
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: at an all boys preparatory school, teaching them to be
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: cool people instead of the confined through poetry boring people.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: That yeah, poetry ha ha. It all starts with organ
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: music and a voiceover Welton Academy for Boys, the breeding
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: ground for the future leaders of America. A school of
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: conformity and tradition upheld by all the teachers except one
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: record scratch. As the bell rings to usher in the
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: first day of school, a bizarre yet dashingly handsome if
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: you like sun withered plums figure enters the room wearing
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: a stylish yet warm Chimney Chonga sweater. But despite the
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: looks of stranger danger from this gaggle of pupas and pinheads,
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: it's just me Wade Wilson. Yep, that aforementioned troublesome teacher,
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: and I'm about to teach these teenaged torps how to
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: open up that better than a pistachio on the floor
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: of a clogging contest. Pan out to a montage of
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: me Wade Wilson molding my student's pliable brains to break
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: the rules, think outside the box, and seize the day
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: better than a nineteen hundred's new Zy with the use
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: of poetry, rock and rollin hormones. Yep, this school's going
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: equal opportunity co ed awesome. Soon these rhyming rugrats will
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: be all standing on the desk shouting, oh Deadpool, my Deadpool.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: Foreshadowing, but what's the story without conflict? If Gail Nolan,
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: head but head of the school, has his way, these
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: boys would be stuck in a cardigan wearing sausage vest.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: Not that there's anything wrong with some calbasa of cookie
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: cutterdom emphasis on the dumb for life, but forcing these
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: squares into your round hole might make that life short.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: But you'll have to watch the movie to see how
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: I save these kids' lives, extradite them from vapid Vermont,
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: open their minds to a multiverse of creativity, and induct
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: them into my super fighting squad of James merrillesque merks
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: with the marks of exforcellns coming never to a theater
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: near you. Not kidding, you can't get anyone to fund
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: a Slice of Life movie anymore. Chicka CHICAA.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: Oh wow, and a Ferris Bueller's Day Off reference at
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 2: the end two Koosy's reference. Yeah, well, I mean I
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: wasn't gonna talk about that because you know, I have
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: no plans to visit Santa Fe. But okay, ah, mine
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: is called The Deadpool Don't Die, which is the Dead
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 2: Don't Die and Deadpool. This will make no sense to
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: almost everyone listening this, but if you've seen The Dead
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: Don't Die, be prepared for hilarity. Here we go. Bill
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: Murray has a problem. Oh I'm sorry. His character's name
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: is Cliff Robertson, chief of police of the town of Centerville,
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: and he has a problem. His problem is, as partner
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: Deadpool is a wise cracking maniac who constantly breaks the
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 2: fourth wall, like at the drop of a hat, and
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: there's no explanation for how or why, Like how is
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 2: he aware of the fourth wall? How does he know
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 2: that he's a character in a larger story that is
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: literally never addressed in the movie. It just is, that's
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: just Deadpool. And yeah, occasionally Deadpool references songs on the
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: radio as being the theme song for the film, which
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 2: is really confusing to poor Cliff. But that's just one
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: of Cliff's problems. He's also got this issue with Tilda
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 2: Swinton being some sort of albino scottswoman samurai all like
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: she also, I'm sorry, she's got a character name too,
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: zeld Winston. Oh, and then of course they're the zombies.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: Have I mentioned the zombies. Well, there are zombies. That's honestly,
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: that's probably the biggest problem, or it's at least the
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 2: problem that's most likely to cause the most trouble, and
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: they sure do, because man, those zombies are real pain
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: in the butt, especially if they bite your butt. But
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: Cliff manages to stay unbitten for like almost the whole movie.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: He does have to deal with other issues, though, like
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: Kluie Savini No, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. The characters Mindy Morrison,
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: she's another police officer who sadly she won't make it
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: to the end of the movie. Spoilers by the way,
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: in case you were curious about the dead don't Die,
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: or another character, the racist jerk Steve Bussemi, I'm sorry,
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. That character's name is Frank Miller, which, as
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 2: far as I can tell, is not supposed to be
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: a reference to the comic book artist or anything like that.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: He's this xenophobic farmer type. Or Selena Gomez. You know,
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: she is not singing in this movie, but she does
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 2: serve as zombie. Oh shoot, sorry spoilers again. I guess
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 2: we'll spawling the whole ding dang Dead Don't Die movie,
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 2: aren't I all right? Anyway, here's Cliff gamely going from
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: place to place in town, learning about this zombie outbreak
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: and trying to protect residents, and meanwhile, his partner, Deadpool
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 2: just keeps spouting off meta commentary in a way that
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 2: makes you wonder exactly what kind of movie are you watching? Anyway?
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, is this a straight up horror comedy, you know,
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 2: akin to something like Sean of the Dead, or is
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 2: it some sort of take on filmmaking like One Cut
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: of the Dead? Or is it just a muddle mess
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 2: of a film that doesn't really know what it is
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: and so it's only kinda but not really entertaining. Yeah,
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: it's probably that last one, but whatever it is. Deadpool
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 2: cracks wise and makes references to illicit drugs a lot
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 2: throughout the entire film, with Cliff frequently reminding Deadpool that
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: as a cop he needs to cool it with the
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: drug references. Ay sound just like Fige, says Deadpool, and
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: Cliff wonders who that is, because we have not yet
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: established what examples of mainstream media are actually a thing
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: in our fictional world that we are watching, and which
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: ones are not a thing there. So the movie keeps
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 2: going with zombies, handily whittling down the cast, which also
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: includes other cool folks like Tom Waits and Carol Kane
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: and Iggy Pop and Rosie Perez and Riza and all
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: of this is true and you can look it up
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: if you like. Anyway, Cliff comes to the realization that
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: he has absolutely no control over the situation. Maybe that's
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: the lesson. Maybe we're meant to learn that sometimes things
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: are just outside of our control, no matter how much
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 2: we want to help. But if that is the lesson,
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 2: then what the heck do we do with it? I mean,
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: that's hardly useful information. I guess you could just say, well,
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 2: this is beyond my control, so I might as well
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 2: walk into that crowd of zombies. But that hardly seems helpful.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: It seems pretty fatalistic if you ask me. Maybe we
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: should all be like Tilda Swinton and grab a katana
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: and make zombie shish kebobs until a spaceship comes down
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: to beams us home. And yeah, I'm not making that
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 2: part up either. That happens in the movie. But I
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: told you this is a weird movie, and I'm not
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: really sure what I'm supposed to take from it. But
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: at least there's Deadpool, reliable, dependable Deadpool who will keep
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: making better references in jokes designed to shock you. Sure
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 2: the story might not make a lick of sense. Sure
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: might not ever learn a single other character's name without
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: having to actively look at IMDb. Sure I might not
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 2: even be able to tell someone what kind of movie
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: this is. But I know that Deadpool will be with
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: me the whole way, making irreverent comments about the film studio,
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: the script, the actors, the special effects, and anything else
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 2: that pulls me out of the story. Hey, considering the story,
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 2: maybe Deadpool's just doing me a favor the end, I
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 2: like it. Can you tell that I wasn't crazy about
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 2: the Dead Don't Die?
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, which is unfortunate because it seemed so promising at first,
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's so for those who haven't seen it.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: Adam Driver is the actual actor who plays the partner
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 2: of Bill Murray's character It's not Dead Bull spoiler alert.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 2: But Adam Driver throughout the movie just occasionally makes these
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: very small but fourth wall breaking comments, and at first
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: it's just like, well, that was weird, and as it
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: goes on, you're like, Okay, this is really weird. Like
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 2: he's starting to make reference to things like script changes
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: and stuff which no one else in the movie does.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: So you're like, why does this character have awareness that
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 2: he's a character in a movie and no one else does,
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: or if you want to go further meta, why is
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 2: the movie allowing this actor to acknowledge the fact that
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: he's an actor in a film as opposed to a
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 2: character in a world. And there's never an answer. There's
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: never an answer to it. And I'm like, I don't
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: mind you taking risky choices, but I would like to
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 2: know the reasoning behind it.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think my brain just shut off.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: But that's okay because we're at the end of the episode. Yes,
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: if you have thoughts on Jonathan's not doing it, how
• 1:14:35
