Speaker 1: The Large Nerdron Collider Podcast is a production of I
0:10
Speaker 1: Heart Radio. Hey everybody, welcome to the Large Nerdron Collider Podcast,
0:23
Speaker 1: the podcast that's all about the geeky stuff happening in
0:26
Speaker 1: the world around us today and how super excited we
0:29
Speaker 1: are about it. I'm Ariel Casted and with me as
0:33
Speaker 1: always is the super awesome Jonathan Strickland. That's that's foreshadowing,
0:40
Speaker 1: because I have a super question for you, Ariel. All right, Ariel,
0:47
Speaker 1: here's your question. So you're the next squirrel Girl, meaning
0:53
Speaker 1: that you are magically imbued with a superpower that, at
0:56
Speaker 1: least on casual glance, is useless. What is it and
0:59
Speaker 1: why you think? I want to explain to the people
1:02
Speaker 1: other who don't don't who know who squirrel Girl is.
1:05
Speaker 1: She is a Marvel Universe character who literally has the
1:08
Speaker 1: power to communicate with squirrels, And there's a running joke
1:11
Speaker 1: in Marvel that despite this seemingly useless power, she has
1:16
Speaker 1: defeated like all of the most powerful supervillains in the
1:21
Speaker 1: Marvel universe at one time or another. So I think,
1:26
Speaker 1: and this maybe this is too useful, so I have
1:28
Speaker 1: a backup, but I think it would be object permanence.
1:32
Speaker 1: So wait, are you saying that if I cover up
1:34
Speaker 1: my eyes, you don't even recognize that I'm still here? Well,
1:40
Speaker 1: more like I can I can cause people to not
1:43
Speaker 1: have object permanence, I think would be the useful way
1:46
Speaker 1: to do it. But yes, also, like if I cover
1:49
Speaker 1: my eyes, you're not there, and what's not there can't
1:52
Speaker 1: hurt me. Right, Oh wow, that's like a super powerful
1:56
Speaker 1: powerful ability. I mean when you think about it, like
2:00
Speaker 1: like you you've got like invulnerability and invisibility all worked
2:04
Speaker 1: into one. Yeah, but I mean you wouldn't think so
2:06
Speaker 1: from the name. But if that is in fact too useful,
2:11
Speaker 1: Like if if listeners go now that that's that doesn't
2:13
Speaker 1: count as a squirrel girl power, then I would say
2:15
Speaker 1: supersonic cowbell playing skills. Okay, yeah you can. I mean
2:20
Speaker 1: that falls in line with some other Marvel type heroes, right,
2:24
Speaker 1: like there are Marvel heroes who have sonic abilities. Well,
2:28
Speaker 1: for my part, my useless superpower is that I would
2:33
Speaker 1: be able to tell how much charge any battery powered
2:37
Speaker 1: device happens to have in it. That's whether there's an
2:41
Speaker 1: indicator or not. That's super useful. I don't know if
2:44
Speaker 1: it's that useful. It's not that useful if you're going
2:46
Speaker 1: up against say Thanos, but it's yeah, it's useful if
2:50
Speaker 1: you're about to, say, like jump into the shower with
2:52
Speaker 1: a a wet razor and you're about like a like
2:56
Speaker 1: an electric razor that can go in the shower, and
2:57
Speaker 1: you're about to shave your head. I don't know if
3:00
Speaker 1: this applies to anybody else, but sometimes you get halfway
3:02
Speaker 1: through and then it dies and then you have to
3:05
Speaker 1: go talk to your partner and say, hey, do you
3:08
Speaker 1: have any batteries because otherwise I'm going to have a
3:11
Speaker 1: very very special look going on for the next few days. Listen,
3:15
Speaker 1: it happens to me all the time when I try
3:17
Speaker 1: to shave my head. Okay, well it's not just me then,
3:21
Speaker 1: but I mean, like that is could be super useful.
3:23
Speaker 1: So let's say you're in a field of electronic cars.
3:28
Speaker 1: You could tell which one to take, or so if
3:31
Speaker 1: I'm a super villain carjacking cars, got it, yeah, Or
3:34
Speaker 1: if you're a superhero, you could you know, guide the
3:38
Speaker 1: super villain to a plane that doesn't have enough battery
3:40
Speaker 1: to stay in the air. More than maybe I could
3:44
Speaker 1: alert people that Ultron is going to get a little
3:46
Speaker 1: cranky because he's starting to get tired. Exactly exactly. So, uh,
3:52
Speaker 1: that is a fantastic squirrel girl. Uh type power. Jonathan,
3:56
Speaker 1: Thank you super impressed. Well, today, we've got a lot
4:01
Speaker 1: of news to cover. Yes, yes, so we're going to
4:04
Speaker 1: start with some news set isn't really news, and that's
4:08
Speaker 1: an update on the Fantastic Four. So earlier this week
4:13
Speaker 1: news was dropped, A rumor was dropped, I should say
4:15
Speaker 1: that Jennifer Lawrence was going to be playing Sue Storm
4:18
Speaker 1: in the new Marvel Fantastic Four movie. And Kevin Feach
4:23
Speaker 1: has come out and said, you know, we are not,
4:26
Speaker 1: and that they were moving to Australia and they were
4:28
Speaker 1: filming there. Now. I don't know if that's true or not,
4:32
Speaker 1: but Kevin Feach has come out and said that, you know,
4:34
Speaker 1: we are just talking to writers now. We really only
4:37
Speaker 1: have a director landed at this point. Is crazy to
4:41
Speaker 1: me that there is a director attached to a movie
4:43
Speaker 1: there's not a script there. It actually kind of reminds
4:46
Speaker 1: me there's a great Coen Brothers film called Barton Fink.
4:49
Speaker 1: It's one of their early films and in it, Barton Fink,
4:53
Speaker 1: there's a there's a point where he's meeting with the
4:55
Speaker 1: CD movie producer type and finds out that there's a
4:59
Speaker 1: move V that's already in production. There is no script,
5:02
Speaker 1: but there is a poster. That's what it kind of
5:05
Speaker 1: reminds me of. It's it's kind of crazy to think
5:08
Speaker 1: that they have already attached a director but they don't
5:11
Speaker 1: even have a writer attached yet to this thing. Uh
5:15
Speaker 1: but hey, you know what, maybe squirrel Girl will show
5:18
Speaker 1: up in it. Hey, you know what, I'm excited because
5:23
Speaker 1: the director is the guy who worked on the last
5:26
Speaker 1: two Marvel Spider Man movies and that's pretty fantastic. And also,
5:31
Speaker 1: if it is just a rumor that Jennifer Lawrence is
5:34
Speaker 1: to Storm and they haven't actually started casting yet, that
5:37
Speaker 1: means I can still throw my hat in the ring
5:40
Speaker 1: to play the thing. Awesome, because I would love to
5:43
Speaker 1: play a version of the thing Benjamina Grimm. Yes, they've
5:48
Speaker 1: already cast she hulks, so I can't do that, So
5:50
Speaker 1: I'll just be BENJAMINEA Grimm Well. And I think it's
5:52
Speaker 1: also kind of interesting that if this were all true,
5:56
Speaker 1: then it means that we've got you another actor who
5:58
Speaker 1: has played multiple uh Marvel characters, and it could open
6:04
Speaker 1: up more opportunities for multiverse type stuff, like we've heard
6:06
Speaker 1: lots of rumors about actors who have played certain Marvel
6:10
Speaker 1: characters coming back in future Marvel films as the other
6:14
Speaker 1: character they've played. And it also goes to say, you know,
6:17
Speaker 1: check your sources. There's lots of rumors out there. There
6:20
Speaker 1: was a rumor that Charlie Cox was going to be
6:22
Speaker 1: in Secret Invasion and not a lot of corroborating information.
6:28
Speaker 1: So yeah, I keep hoping for that though that I mean,
6:31
Speaker 1: that would be pretty fantastic, But again, check your sources.
6:33
Speaker 1: Just because you read it doesn't mean it's true. That's true. Now,
6:37
Speaker 1: our next story is something that is absolutely true, which
6:41
Speaker 1: is that there is a trailer for the Amazon animated
6:45
Speaker 1: series Invincible, which is based off a comic book series
6:49
Speaker 1: by Robert Kirkman. So you can actually go and watch
6:52
Speaker 1: it's it's a pretty good trailer. It gives you a
6:56
Speaker 1: good feeling of the action and sort of the story. Um,
7:02
Speaker 1: but you don't want to know too much about the
7:03
Speaker 1: story because I know the story of Invincible. It is.
7:08
Speaker 1: It is a a really interesting take on superheroes and
7:14
Speaker 1: on conflict. Uh, and it has an interesting balance between
7:18
Speaker 1: humor and some really heavy stuff in it, and I
7:23
Speaker 1: think it will be better for people to experience this
7:27
Speaker 1: watching it for the first time, as opposed to reading
7:29
Speaker 1: up on it and then seeing how well the series
7:32
Speaker 1: holds up versus the comic books, unless you just want to,
7:36
Speaker 1: you know, get into the comic books, which by all
7:38
Speaker 1: means you should. I mean, I think I'll watch the
7:40
Speaker 1: series first and then get into the comic books. To
7:42
Speaker 1: be fair, I haven't read like I watched The Walking Dead.
7:45
Speaker 1: I didn't read The Walking Dead, which is Robert Kirkman's
7:49
Speaker 1: other famous series. Um so do you think that this
7:53
Speaker 1: will be quite as gruesome as The Walking Dead, Jonathan,
7:57
Speaker 1: I mean, there's gonna be moments of some gruesome stuff.
8:01
Speaker 1: So Invincible is a hero who he's he's discovering his powers.
8:06
Speaker 1: He's a young man who is the son of another
8:08
Speaker 1: hero who is coming into his own with his own superpowers,
8:12
Speaker 1: and one of those is very fast healing. He has
8:16
Speaker 1: limited The invulnerability is the wrong word because that suggests
8:22
Speaker 1: that he's invulnerable to harm. He's not. He's very vulnerable
8:25
Speaker 1: to harm, but he's he's tough, uh, and he can
8:28
Speaker 1: heal very quickly, but that also lends itself to him
8:32
Speaker 1: getting very very badly hurt before he heals up. And
8:37
Speaker 1: there will be some elements of gruesome stuff, but it won't.
8:42
Speaker 1: I don't think it will be nearly as dark and
8:46
Speaker 1: more importantly hopeless as The Walking Dead was. Like the
8:50
Speaker 1: Walking Dead becomes misery porn to me, kind of like
8:53
Speaker 1: Game of Thrones, like it's it's it's it's an exercise,
8:56
Speaker 1: and seeing how awful the characters end up episode after episode.
9:01
Speaker 1: Invincible is not like that. Speaking of dark and hopeless, Jonathan,
9:05
Speaker 1: we have more d C EU news, but this one,
9:08
Speaker 1: this one gives me joy. Yeah, me too, me too.
9:11
Speaker 1: It was just really just a mediocre segue. So they
9:16
Speaker 1: have cast Supergirl to be in the new Flash movie. Yes,
9:20
Speaker 1: Andres Musquetti, the director gave a call to the actress
9:25
Speaker 1: who landed the role. She then uh posted to Instagram
9:30
Speaker 1: the recording of the meeting. Her name is Sasha cal
9:34
Speaker 1: and she is the first Latina Supergirl and the video
9:40
Speaker 1: is about the most wholesome and wonderful video. It doesn't
9:44
Speaker 1: hurt that the version that has shared online has the
9:49
Speaker 1: classic John Williams Superman theme slowly rising in the background,
9:54
Speaker 1: the crypton theme, and it's wonderful and I if you
10:00
Speaker 1: need to pick me up, watch her reaction to being
10:04
Speaker 1: told that she got the part. Yeah. Well, we'll have
10:07
Speaker 1: it in our show notes on our website www dot
10:09
Speaker 1: luge or drunk colider dot com, so you won't even
10:12
Speaker 1: have to search that hard for it. I will say,
10:14
Speaker 1: if one, I really like Ezra Miller as a Flash,
10:17
Speaker 1: I've said that before. If she can bring some of
10:20
Speaker 1: her her personal happiness and and effervescence to Supergirl in
10:25
Speaker 1: that movie, then um, I'm hopeful for watching it. Uh
10:29
Speaker 1: you know, because actors, they bring themselves to the role.
10:32
Speaker 1: So yeah, well, out of all the characters we've seen
10:35
Speaker 1: so far, the Flash is probably the most lighthearted, followed
10:39
Speaker 1: by Aquaman. Uh So it gives me hope that the
10:44
Speaker 1: film will be also it will also embody that that
10:48
Speaker 1: spirit of kind of hopeful optimism and a little element
10:52
Speaker 1: of fun with it as well. Um, because that is
10:56
Speaker 1: the thing that that I find I really respond well
10:59
Speaker 1: to that, Whereas like if it's just the dark gritty, like,
11:02
Speaker 1: come on, guys, we live through we don't need more
11:06
Speaker 1: dark gritty. That's why I'm not so so thrilled about
11:09
Speaker 1: the Snyder cut coming out. I'm like, yeah, but I
11:12
Speaker 1: just lived through that, you know, And I know we
11:14
Speaker 1: have listeners who really do appreciate the less uh cheerful
11:20
Speaker 1: d c e U Marvel because they've been burnt out
11:23
Speaker 1: on Marvel. Yeah, so you know, I think that there
11:26
Speaker 1: can be a good balance between high stakes and pleasant
11:31
Speaker 1: characters that could make a really fantastic film. So yeah,
11:35
Speaker 1: I I And again, if you are one of those
11:36
Speaker 1: folks out there who just really loves that that kind
11:39
Speaker 1: of dark, gritty style, there's nothing wrong with that. It's
11:42
Speaker 1: more about me just cavetching about my own personal preferences.
11:46
Speaker 1: So so don't take it too seriously. Something I take
11:50
Speaker 1: extremely seriously, however, is our next story. Oh, I have thoughts. Okay,
11:56
Speaker 1: so the next story, and I have no idea what
11:59
Speaker 1: your thoughts are, is about the Irregulars, which is Trulock
12:03
Speaker 1: Holmes meets Scooby Doo. It kind of looks like so
12:08
Speaker 1: Ariel the in in Arthur Conan Doyle's I'm sorry, Sir
12:12
Speaker 1: Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Homes stories. The Irregulars are these
12:18
Speaker 1: these characters, they're they're street urchins essentially, who run errands
12:22
Speaker 1: for Sherlock Holmes, like they help him get information on
12:25
Speaker 1: the street level, Like they can essentially cover large parts
12:29
Speaker 1: of the city and report back to him, So they're
12:32
Speaker 1: kind of part of his tool set. Holmes is tool
12:34
Speaker 1: set in getting information. The Irregulars is more about a
12:38
Speaker 1: different take on Sherlock Holmes where they're working for Dr Watson.
12:42
Speaker 1: Sherlock Holmes is apparently a drug addicted ne'er do well,
12:46
Speaker 1: and he well, he was definitely a cocaine user in
12:51
Speaker 1: the in the stories to write, but he's now a
12:54
Speaker 1: in this version, a drug addict who is given all
12:58
Speaker 1: the the adit for solving the mysteries that the Irregulars
13:02
Speaker 1: are performing. That part none of that upsets me. I'm
13:06
Speaker 1: actually like, that's an interesting take, and there have been
13:09
Speaker 1: plenty of takes where Sherlock Holmes is not the great
13:13
Speaker 1: hero that he's made out to be in Watson's stories.
13:16
Speaker 1: I mean, there are comedies where Watson is really the
13:19
Speaker 1: genius and Sherlock Holmes is a bumbling actor. So that
13:23
Speaker 1: doesn't upset me. What upsets me is the suggestion that
13:26
Speaker 1: there might be supernatural elements at play, because that is
13:31
Speaker 1: antithetical to the Sherlock Holmes universe. It's like the exact
13:35
Speaker 1: opposite of what you look forward to Sherlock Holmes story,
13:39
Speaker 1: because Holmes is all about rationality, and he's always looking
13:42
Speaker 1: for the explanation that seems to be to manifest as
13:47
Speaker 1: paranormal but in fact is completely mundane um. And I
13:51
Speaker 1: hate the tendency to go toward a more supernatural kind
13:57
Speaker 1: of depiction when it comes to Sherlock Holmes. Yeah. Yeah,
14:01
Speaker 1: and this, I mean this, this pretty heavily hints that
14:04
Speaker 1: it's going to be that. The The description is supernatural
14:07
Speaker 1: drama series with mysteries of the fantastical variety. Well, and
14:12
Speaker 1: even the article we link to suggests that potentially the
14:16
Speaker 1: Irregulars themselves are gifted humans. But I haven't seen anything
14:22
Speaker 1: else that indicates that, so I don't know where that
14:25
Speaker 1: particular author came up with that idea. Yeah, it's just
14:28
Speaker 1: it's just a teaser. We are quickly running out of
14:31
Speaker 1: time for this first segment, so let's hit our last story.
14:33
Speaker 1: Jonathan and wants to talk about this because sure, yeah,
14:37
Speaker 1: So Spike Lee is going to produce a film for
14:40
Speaker 1: Netflix called Gordon Hemingway and the Realm of Cathulhu. Directed
14:45
Speaker 1: by Stefan Bristol, and the story is going to follow
14:48
Speaker 1: a black American gun slinger named Gordon Hemingway and his
14:52
Speaker 1: adventures in East Africa in the nineteen twenties. There's going
14:55
Speaker 1: to be a lovecrafty and horror elements to it. And
14:58
Speaker 1: the reason why I wanted to include this is one,
15:00
Speaker 1: I think it's awesome that we're getting more love crafty
15:03
Speaker 1: and horror stories, but too, I think it's also really
15:07
Speaker 1: cool that the ones we've gotten recently, like Lovecraft Country
15:10
Speaker 1: and now this, are being created by people who have
15:15
Speaker 1: a totally different perspective. I mean, these are black creators
15:18
Speaker 1: who are making these these works, And to me, that's
15:23
Speaker 1: really interesting because one of the biggest problems with Lovecrafts
15:26
Speaker 1: literature is that there's a lot of stuff in it
15:29
Speaker 1: that's just playing racist. Like it is, there are harmful
15:33
Speaker 1: stereotypes of people of color in several of the Lovecraft stories.
15:39
Speaker 1: So to see this kind of mythos being repurposed and
15:44
Speaker 1: being uh expanded by people of color who are using
15:49
Speaker 1: it not just to tell great stories, but they're also
15:51
Speaker 1: using it to address things like racism, I think that
15:54
Speaker 1: that's fantastic use of source material. I agree. I agree. Plus,
15:59
Speaker 1: you know, the descripture for this movie kind of feels
16:02
Speaker 1: like very Indiana Jones, and I'm all about that. Yeah, yeah, No,
16:07
Speaker 1: I'm really excited. And when we come back, we're gonna
16:10
Speaker 1: start off with a story that's gonna let Ariel geek
16:13
Speaker 1: out like you've never heard her geek out before because
16:17
Speaker 1: I know her. But we're gonna take a break first,
16:30
Speaker 1: all right, Ariel, Uh, I want you to tell me
16:34
Speaker 1: about a place that you really liked that I never
16:38
Speaker 1: visited that was in in a spot called Pleasure Island,
16:42
Speaker 1: and it was known as the Adventurers Club. Please. What
16:46
Speaker 1: was the Adventurers Club? For the uninitiated? And what's the
16:50
Speaker 1: is it? Congluch? Yeah? So Pleasure Island for those who
16:56
Speaker 1: don't know real quick, it was like a nightclub area
16:59
Speaker 1: at Disney Kind in downtown Disney area Disney World, not Disneyland, yeah,
17:03
Speaker 1: Disney World. And within there they had a bunch of
17:06
Speaker 1: different clubs and one of those clubs was the Adventurers Club,
17:10
Speaker 1: which was like a nineteen thirties style secret society and
17:15
Speaker 1: you'd go in and you had all these characters. It
17:18
Speaker 1: was basically like the ren Fest of nineties adventuring and
17:23
Speaker 1: they'd have you'd have different rooms you'd go into where
17:25
Speaker 1: things on the wall would talk to you. You'd have
17:27
Speaker 1: different characters, uh and and a lot of the characters
17:30
Speaker 1: would stay the same but would be played by different
17:32
Speaker 1: people each night, and each person had their own sticks,
17:34
Speaker 1: and they'd have cabarets where they'd sing on stage and
17:37
Speaker 1: call you up. And it was just a wonderful, wonderful experience.
17:41
Speaker 1: Myself in my roommate at the time, may have gone
17:44
Speaker 1: often enough that we occasionally got recognized by some of
17:46
Speaker 1: the cast members. Um, yeah, so we're talking like an
17:49
Speaker 1: immersive theater experience. Yeah, yeah, And it was just really fantastic.
17:54
Speaker 1: It was before they closed down, like one of my
17:58
Speaker 1: dream jobs to work there. And just you know, you'd
18:01
Speaker 1: have like the French Maid, you'd have the Adventurer, you'd
18:04
Speaker 1: have the Forever Boy Scout. Just Samantha Sterling was the
18:08
Speaker 1: female Adventurer. She was so cool. You can't even go
18:11
Speaker 1: to Jock Lindsay's now Downtown Disney and find like little
18:14
Speaker 1: bits and hints of her and of the other adventures
18:16
Speaker 1: other places. So it turns out that they are a
18:19
Speaker 1: part of a larger story created for Tokyo Disney c
18:23
Speaker 1: called the society Floors and Adventurers and Adventurers, which I
18:30
Speaker 1: didn't know. I only knew about the Disney World stuff well.
18:34
Speaker 1: And and this, to be fair, the Adventurers Club got
18:37
Speaker 1: rhet conned into it because the Adventurers Club had already
18:39
Speaker 1: closed down before Disney Imagineers started to create this. And
18:45
Speaker 1: I honestly don't know like how organically the s e
18:49
Speaker 1: A society uh formed or if it was one of
18:54
Speaker 1: those things that like did they plan this out? Did
18:57
Speaker 1: it just sort of kind of grow just by adding
19:01
Speaker 1: new attractions and then kind of linking them, thinking well,
19:04
Speaker 1: this is thematically similar to something else. So it turns
19:08
Speaker 1: out now that through all this red conning, you have
19:13
Speaker 1: attractions like the Jungle Cruise Ride, the Big Thunder Mountain
19:17
Speaker 1: Railroad ride, um, I think Tower of Terror, the Disney
19:22
Speaker 1: World one still is. Yeah, so little elements and in
19:27
Speaker 1: places like Skipper's Canteen at Disney World, which is restaurant. Uh,
19:31
Speaker 1: you have these different places that that link to this
19:36
Speaker 1: society to the point where now there's this metaverse that
19:40
Speaker 1: kind of covers all these different elements. And it really
19:46
Speaker 1: is one of those things where it's almost to me
19:48
Speaker 1: like it's becoming, um a different version of the Hidden Mickey.
19:54
Speaker 1: I agree. I agree. Well, it's not going to be
19:57
Speaker 1: so hidden because the the rumors. At least, Hollywood Reporter
20:02
Speaker 1: reported that Disney is working on making a TV series
20:07
Speaker 1: for Disney Plus about it with Ron Moore, who, if
20:11
Speaker 1: you don't know him, he was a writer on Star
20:13
Speaker 1: Trek and Battlestar Galactica the New One, and he helped
20:16
Speaker 1: develop Outlander. Uh so he's worked on a lot of
20:20
Speaker 1: really good projects. Uh And I'm I hope this comes
20:25
Speaker 1: to Fruition because I would love to see some of
20:27
Speaker 1: my favorite characters. I think it is a much better
20:30
Speaker 1: way to incorporate your your rides at theme parks into
20:35
Speaker 1: storytelling than to have an entire, let's say, Haunted Mansion movie. Yeah.
20:39
Speaker 1: I agree. And there's a lot of groundwork that's already
20:42
Speaker 1: been laid with these characters, at least as far as
20:45
Speaker 1: lawre goes. And if you go with the Adventurers Club,
20:48
Speaker 1: there's even like some some blueprints for characters there. It
20:52
Speaker 1: could be a really fun series. I hope that they
20:56
Speaker 1: go with sort of a comedic adventure tone as opposed
20:59
Speaker 1: to I mean you would think they would have to
21:01
Speaker 1: with rides like Jungle Cruise. I mean, all the jokes
21:04
Speaker 1: are so corny. Um, But we just don't know anything
21:08
Speaker 1: more than that. But I really have high hopes for it.
21:10
Speaker 1: Well if it includes the Jungle Cruise. I wonder if
21:12
Speaker 1: it will have Dwayne Johnson in the TV series because
21:15
Speaker 1: he's in the movie. Yeah. I also wonder if one
21:19
Speaker 1: day they'll bring back the Adventurers Club. I hope, so,
21:24
Speaker 1: I hope. So it could really fit at Disney's Animal Kingdom.
21:29
Speaker 1: It would fit well right there. I agree. I agree,
21:31
Speaker 1: And maybe one day they'll even bring space into it
21:34
Speaker 1: because Joe Rode, who is a retired whal Disney imagineer,
21:39
Speaker 1: has joined Virgin Galactic to help make the experience of
21:44
Speaker 1: consumer space travel an awesome one. Yeah, this one is
21:48
Speaker 1: really interesting to me because I mean, like imagineers, if
21:51
Speaker 1: you've ever watched the documentary about imagineering on Disney, plus,
21:55
Speaker 1: you know the kind of work and attention to detail
21:59
Speaker 1: they have on even the most minute elements to try
22:02
Speaker 1: and uh craft and experience that a lot of people
22:06
Speaker 1: can enjoy. That's obviously really challenging. People are very different,
22:10
Speaker 1: so creating something that's going to hit a lot of
22:12
Speaker 1: people essentially the same way as tough. Um. I think
22:15
Speaker 1: it's interesting also because if you're talking about going to space,
22:18
Speaker 1: I would think that you would want to make sure
22:21
Speaker 1: you have as few distractions as possible, Like you won't
22:26
Speaker 1: you don't want a lot of bells and whistles, because
22:28
Speaker 1: you want to be able to enjoy, you know, the
22:31
Speaker 1: sense of weightlessness as well as being able to look
22:33
Speaker 1: at the planet and see it in its splendor. So
22:36
Speaker 1: I'm guessing that being an imagineer with it with four
22:41
Speaker 1: decades of experience, he's going to have a fairly light touch. Yeah. Well,
22:45
Speaker 1: the company says that his goal is to stimulate curiosity,
22:48
Speaker 1: guide the imagination, and anchor the virgin galactic customer experience
22:52
Speaker 1: with purposefulness and meaning. So yeah, I think the whole
22:57
Speaker 1: goal here is so that when you come down off
23:00
Speaker 1: your trip, you have a new appreciation for how interconnected
23:06
Speaker 1: everyone is on Earth, and then, because you're absolutely rich,
23:09
Speaker 1: you continue to exploit the working man until they are
23:13
Speaker 1: Maybe not maybe it'll maybe it'll foster spirit of philanthropy. Um.
23:19
Speaker 1: You know, I just I think that at least right now,
23:21
Speaker 1: going to space takes so much like training, and it's
23:24
Speaker 1: it's so intensive anyhow that that it would be overwhelming
23:30
Speaker 1: without additional experience added to it. Yeah, I just think,
23:33
Speaker 1: obviously this is going to be something that only really
23:37
Speaker 1: the wealthy will be able to afford. We know that
23:39
Speaker 1: we're talking about tickets that are in the hundreds of
23:42
Speaker 1: thousands of dollars. So, uh, it's not likely going to
23:46
Speaker 1: be something that the average person ever gets to experience,
23:49
Speaker 1: at least not any time in the near future, not
23:52
Speaker 1: without like a giveaway for a seat. I know that. Yeah,
23:56
Speaker 1: there's there's been talk on some some commercial space missions
23:59
Speaker 1: of two doing that. Yeah, I just get real cynical.
24:02
Speaker 1: But you know what, I don't get cynical about psychopathic
24:05
Speaker 1: clowns and ice cream trucks driving you to the brink
24:08
Speaker 1: of insanity. I feel like I feel like you're priorities
24:13
Speaker 1: for a little because it's already a cynical thing, and
24:17
Speaker 1: it it might just be COVID, it might just be that.
24:21
Speaker 1: I'm just so here's the thing. Twisted Metal, which is
24:24
Speaker 1: a video game that I never played, it's a PlayStation game,
24:28
Speaker 1: is now getting a TV series. It's super weird because
24:33
Speaker 1: the video game series essentially it all involves you driving
24:36
Speaker 1: a vehicle and trying to destroy other vehicles, and the
24:41
Speaker 1: vehicles all are like it kind of follows those post
24:45
Speaker 1: apocalyptic movies like Death Race two thousand and that kind
24:48
Speaker 1: of stuff. Uh yeah, and you're you're you're definitely going
24:52
Speaker 1: up against other crazy car drivers and one of which
24:57
Speaker 1: is a uh in sane clown driving an ice cream truck.
25:02
Speaker 1: And it's sort of like race, race, car and combat
25:06
Speaker 1: all wrapped up into one. And you wouldn't think that
25:10
Speaker 1: would lead itself to much of a narrative, but they're
25:14
Speaker 1: going to try, and they're going to try to make
25:16
Speaker 1: it funny. It's going to be an action comedy. Will
25:19
Speaker 1: Arnett is working on it. The writers for Deadpool, who
25:23
Speaker 1: do have a lot of experience with action and comedy intermingled,
25:26
Speaker 1: are working on it, and then writer Michael Jonathan Smith,
25:30
Speaker 1: who worked on Copra Kai, is also working on it.
25:32
Speaker 1: It's about a car thief who faces marauders as he
25:36
Speaker 1: drives vehicles and drive vehicles of destruction and mad Max stuff.
25:41
Speaker 1: It's got a fun crew behind it. It might be fun.
25:45
Speaker 1: It's not a story I ever thought I wanted, but
25:47
Speaker 1: I guess I'll wait and see. I guess you could
25:50
Speaker 1: argue that because you know, it's really if you think
25:53
Speaker 1: of the premise of the video game is just your
25:55
Speaker 1: starting point, it really means you can make any story
25:59
Speaker 1: you want, because it's not like there's a you know,
26:02
Speaker 1: a script to follow already. That's one of the biggest
26:05
Speaker 1: problems I think people have with video game adaptations into
26:09
Speaker 1: film because the video games typically have their own story
26:14
Speaker 1: that doesn't necessarily translate well to a cinematic experience. And
26:20
Speaker 1: so if you try to remake a video game as
26:22
Speaker 1: a movie, you don't really please anybody. And if you
26:26
Speaker 1: try and make a movie that's based off video games
26:30
Speaker 1: that doesn't follow one of the plots of the games,
26:32
Speaker 1: then you run into the danger of alienating the fan
26:36
Speaker 1: base of the games. But was something like Twisted Metal,
26:38
Speaker 1: where there really wasn't a story, I don't see how
26:40
Speaker 1: you would alienate anybody. So yeah, that's true, you know,
26:44
Speaker 1: And and I worry about it being dark and gory
26:49
Speaker 1: and and violent, but it's not nearly as violent I
26:52
Speaker 1: would imagine being just cars. As the next two games,
26:56
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about Diablo Too, which is getting
27:00
Speaker 1: revamped as announced at blizz Con this past week, with
27:05
Speaker 1: cross progression. Yes, yes, So that means that if you
27:09
Speaker 1: are playing it on one platform and then you switch
27:12
Speaker 1: over to a different platform, you'll be able to pick
27:15
Speaker 1: up where you left off at least four platforms that
27:18
Speaker 1: support it. And they actually said, the developers said, we're
27:23
Speaker 1: not trying to be coy here. We're literally saying that
27:27
Speaker 1: we're working on this on a case by case basis.
27:29
Speaker 1: If the platform will support this cross progression, then it's
27:34
Speaker 1: going to be incorporated into it. So that way, if
27:36
Speaker 1: you happen to have copies of this game on your
27:41
Speaker 1: PC or your Xbox or whatever, you'll be able to
27:46
Speaker 1: pick up in whatever whatever platform you're playing on at
27:49
Speaker 1: the time. So that's a cool idea. It is. It
27:52
Speaker 1: doesn't mean cross play, which is something my friends and
27:54
Speaker 1: I were talking about over the weekend. We were uncertain,
27:57
Speaker 1: but yeah, the producer Matthew cedar Quist said, as of
28:02
Speaker 1: right now, they don't have anything to announce on cross play.
28:07
Speaker 1: The other game we're gonna talk about, and this is
28:10
Speaker 1: actually going to lead into our mashup, is Mortal Kombat,
28:14
Speaker 1: because right after we recorded our last episode, the trailer
28:17
Speaker 1: from Mortal Kombat dropped and it looks so much it
28:20
Speaker 1: looks like so much fun. Uh yeah, it looks dumb,
28:23
Speaker 1: but like fun dumb. Um, I'm not I'm not expecting
28:27
Speaker 1: it to look smart. I mean, it's Mortal Kombat. It's
28:30
Speaker 1: it's a it's a tournament like it. First of all,
28:32
Speaker 1: it has been a long time since I've seen a
28:34
Speaker 1: tournament style movie. I used to watch those all the
28:37
Speaker 1: time when I was a kid. I watched all those
28:40
Speaker 1: different like the gen Claude van Damn movies, where it
28:42
Speaker 1: was always set at some form of mixed martial arts tournament.
28:47
Speaker 1: So uh, there are elements in this trailer that reminded
28:51
Speaker 1: me of the original Mortal Kombat live action film that
28:55
Speaker 1: seemed to be at least, if not a wink and
28:57
Speaker 1: a nod. There seemed to be moments where you looked
29:00
Speaker 1: at it, especially the fights between sub Zero and Scorpion,
29:04
Speaker 1: that that made me think back to that original film.
29:09
Speaker 1: It's clearly much much, much more violent and darker than
29:14
Speaker 1: the original film, but it still looks to me like
29:17
Speaker 1: it is appealing even though it's a I think it's
29:18
Speaker 1: an R rated movie. It looks like it's appealing to
29:21
Speaker 1: kind of that teenage range of ages. I know that
29:26
Speaker 1: the I know that the video games are hurt. The
29:28
Speaker 1: latest Moral Kombat video game is very very gory. Uh
29:34
Speaker 1: And I'm while this movie definitely has gore and it,
29:37
Speaker 1: I'm hoping it doesn't quite go that far, like seeing
29:40
Speaker 1: someone gets solid and half by a hat or something.
29:43
Speaker 1: I would assume. I would assume that, you know, in
29:45
Speaker 1: an effort to attract a larger viewer base, um, they
29:51
Speaker 1: might kind of balance it between the video game and
29:53
Speaker 1: then movie. That's my hope. Maybe we get something along
29:56
Speaker 1: kill bill lines. It's also interesting that Johnny Cage does
30:00
Speaker 1: not appear in the trailer. The main character is a
30:03
Speaker 1: character who is not a regular Mortal Kombat character, so
30:06
Speaker 1: it's led to a lot of people speculating that he
30:10
Speaker 1: in fact becomes Johnny Cage. We will have to see
30:13
Speaker 1: and our last story for this segment, we're just going
30:16
Speaker 1: to cover it very quickly. Is that Representative Marcus C.
30:19
Speaker 1: Evans Jr. Of Illinois has proposed a ban on the
30:24
Speaker 1: sale of all violent video games in Illinois um and
30:29
Speaker 1: in the bill, it says that any game that quote
30:32
Speaker 1: allows a user or player to control a character within
30:35
Speaker 1: the video game that is encouraged to perpetuate human on
30:38
Speaker 1: human violence in which the player kills or otherwise causes
30:41
Speaker 1: serious physical or psychological harm to another human or an
30:44
Speaker 1: animal end quote. It qualifies that they're trying to expand
30:49
Speaker 1: to things like car jacking because Chicago has had a
30:52
Speaker 1: lot of car jacking cases recently. The fine of if
30:57
Speaker 1: this were to pass and become law, then the fine
31:00
Speaker 1: for selling a game or renting out a game with
31:02
Speaker 1: violent content would be one dollars. Uh. This is where
31:07
Speaker 1: we remind you that psychological studies from reputable places like
31:12
Speaker 1: the American Psychological Association have never found any causal link
31:16
Speaker 1: between violence and video games and violence in real life,
31:20
Speaker 1: and that, uh, this is the sort of stuff that's
31:23
Speaker 1: been struck down numerous times in the past by the
31:25
Speaker 1: Supreme Court, so we don't expect to see this to
31:28
Speaker 1: go any further. But once again we see this issue
31:32
Speaker 1: pop up, and that just makes me so angry that
31:36
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna need to do a mash up
31:37
Speaker 1: between some pop culture and a violent video game aerial. Okay, well,
31:42
Speaker 1: we'll do that, but first let's uh, let's prepare ourselves
31:45
Speaker 1: and take a quick break. Okay, so we are doing
32:07
Speaker 1: Mortal Kombat. As we said before, the break and we
32:09
Speaker 1: are also doing kind of inspired by the fact that
32:13
Speaker 1: one of the Cobra Kai writers is working on the
32:15
Speaker 1: Twisted Metal show The Karate Kid Extended Universe. Yes, so
32:23
Speaker 1: so it's it's Karate Kid meets Mortal Kombat, Karate Kids
32:26
Speaker 1: Slash Cobra Kai meets Mortal Kombat. Uh Aerie, Well, you
32:30
Speaker 1: know what question I'm gonna ask you. Um. Yeah, I'm
32:36
Speaker 1: really worried we're going to be the same and I
32:37
Speaker 1: want to do mine. So if we're the same, people
32:39
Speaker 1: are just going to have to listen to mine as well.
32:40
Speaker 1: But you can you can go first, so excellent. Uh, well,
32:44
Speaker 1: do you want to give me the title of yours
32:45
Speaker 1: first before I say what the tunnel of mine is?
32:47
Speaker 1: Because my title might change mineus Cobra kime bat Oh
32:53
Speaker 1: mine was Cobra Combat with a with both both of them,
32:57
Speaker 1: big case. Okay, here's mine, so similar. Okay. Johnny Lawrence
33:02
Speaker 1: has a problem. Growing up in Rosita wasn't easy. For
33:06
Speaker 1: one thing, there's a freeway running through the yard and
33:09
Speaker 1: all the vampires walking through the valley move west down
33:12
Speaker 1: Ventura Boulevard. But that's a story for another time. Out
33:16
Speaker 1: of Nowhere, a kid from New Jersey, moves into the
33:18
Speaker 1: neighborhood and starts making moves on Johnny's ex girlfriend. Things
33:22
Speaker 1: escalate from there until Johnny and the new kid, Danny,
33:25
Speaker 1: come to an agreement they'll settle their differences in a
33:28
Speaker 1: local karate tournament. Johnny trains with his sin Say, preparing
33:32
Speaker 1: for the tournament and his upcoming revenge john Danny. But
33:36
Speaker 1: at the tournament, the unthinkable happens. Despite attempts to cripple
33:40
Speaker 1: Danny before the final round, Johnny faces defeat for the
33:43
Speaker 1: first time, and while he lays on the ground, face
33:46
Speaker 1: freshly kicked, he sees something truly strange happen. Danny lifts
33:51
Speaker 1: the trophy, his own teacher beaming at him, and suddenly
33:54
Speaker 1: the room goes cold cold in Recita. Is it those
33:59
Speaker 1: vampire No, it's not the vampires. I told you they'll
34:03
Speaker 1: show up in a different movie. Instead. A glowing portal
34:07
Speaker 1: appears and outsteps Seng Sung, flanked by the Ninja Scorpion
34:12
Speaker 1: and sub Zero. This is where I remind you that
34:14
Speaker 1: the plural of ninja is ninja. Shang Sung looks at
34:17
Speaker 1: Daniel and explains that he has been chosen to participate
34:21
Speaker 1: in a tournament that takes place every thirty four Earth years.
34:25
Speaker 1: Daniel is whisked away through the portal, which closes, leaving
34:28
Speaker 1: everyone behind absolutely gobsmacked. Flash forward thirty four years Johnny,
34:33
Speaker 1: who shed his last name and adopted a new one.
34:36
Speaker 1: Cage has become an actor. While it's been years since
34:40
Speaker 1: he had a real fight, he uses his martial arts
34:42
Speaker 1: training to choreograph fight sequences and action movies. But now
34:46
Speaker 1: that he's on the other side of fifty, the movie
34:48
Speaker 1: roles have really slowed down. He still gets the occasional gig,
34:51
Speaker 1: but it's rare that he gets more than a glorified
34:54
Speaker 1: cameo these days. Also he's on cameo, he'll send a
34:57
Speaker 1: happy Birthday message for the low low price of seventy
35:00
Speaker 1: five dollars. He hasn't had any takers for a while now.
35:03
Speaker 1: On the thirty fourth anniversary of that karate tournament, as
35:07
Speaker 1: Cage is thinking about his past, a portal opens outsteps
35:11
Speaker 1: Shang Sung, who says to Cage that as the man
35:13
Speaker 1: who came closest to defeating Danny in ages past, he
35:17
Speaker 1: is now the Earth Realms champion. Cage eager to prove
35:20
Speaker 1: himself and find out what this is all about steps
35:23
Speaker 1: through the portal. Once he does so, he discovers a
35:26
Speaker 1: world unlike any he ever imagined. He learns that sub
35:29
Speaker 1: Zero and Scorpion are in fact age old enemies. He
35:33
Speaker 1: learns of blood magic and insect ladies and big big
35:37
Speaker 1: dudes with four arms. He learns about a mysterious god
35:40
Speaker 1: of lightning who looks like he wandered off the set
35:42
Speaker 1: of Big Trouble in Little China. And he learns about
35:45
Speaker 1: the worst secret of them all. Daniel. It seems one
35:50
Speaker 1: that tournament thirty four years ago, and ever since has
35:53
Speaker 1: ruled as war Lord of the Outer Realms, crushing all
35:57
Speaker 1: those who oppose him with cruelty. It is up to
35:59
Speaker 1: Johnny Cage to take him down. We then have a
36:02
Speaker 1: training montage You're the Best Around plays ironically in the background.
36:07
Speaker 1: Cage enters the tournament. He fights his way through. He
36:10
Speaker 1: makes sub Zero chill out. He d stings Scorpion, he
36:14
Speaker 1: makes the rain go away. He does other pun like
36:17
Speaker 1: things to other fighters, until it comes down to him
36:20
Speaker 1: and Danny, the Overlord of the Outer Realms, and there's
36:23
Speaker 1: no one there to sweep the leg. This time, at
36:26
Speaker 1: the beginning of the fight, Danny assumes a familiar pose,
36:30
Speaker 1: one leg lifted up, knee bent, arms out stretched to
36:33
Speaker 1: either side. Shang Song yells fight, but Cage doesn't move.
36:38
Speaker 1: Danny looks confused. You um, you have to come to me,
36:43
Speaker 1: says Danny. No man, says Johnny. I know how that works.
36:47
Speaker 1: But uh, I can't move forward like this, says Danny.
36:50
Speaker 1: You gotta come here, Nope, says Johnny. Get over here,
36:54
Speaker 1: yells Danny. Hey, that's my line, says Scorpion Off. Scream
36:59
Speaker 1: fine as Danny, and he starts to hop awkwardly forward
37:03
Speaker 1: in the crane stance until he accidentally hops onto a
37:06
Speaker 1: rock which is kind of pointy, so he wins his
37:08
Speaker 1: and he loses his balance. Oh and I forgot to
37:10
Speaker 1: mention this fight is actually on that big pathway way
37:13
Speaker 1: above the spike pit, so he loses his balance and
37:16
Speaker 1: falls all the way down. Fatality, says Shang Sung. But
37:20
Speaker 1: you know, kind of a lame one. And that's all Johnny.
37:23
Speaker 1: Lawrence got his revenge, but his ex still won't call
37:26
Speaker 1: him the end. That was so good, Jonathan, I should
37:31
Speaker 1: have gone first. I always give you the chance. I know,
37:34
Speaker 1: I know, I know, so ours are similar, but they
37:37
Speaker 1: aren't totally the same. I leaned a lot more heavily
37:40
Speaker 1: into the karate kid Lord. You're welcome, Sarah, I know
37:43
Speaker 1: you're listening. Uh. The year is Mr Miyagi has passed away,
37:49
Speaker 1: and Crease has disappeared somewhere into the Vietnam jungle, and
37:52
Speaker 1: Johnny Lawrence Cage, his mom got remarried again, is working
37:55
Speaker 1: as a handyman after nightmares of sweep the leg and
37:58
Speaker 1: finish him at going through his head after his tournament
38:00
Speaker 1: with Daniel LaRusso have all but ruined his life. One day,
38:03
Speaker 1: while sitting on the couch, he feels a searing pain
38:06
Speaker 1: on his chest. He looks in a mirror to find
38:09
Speaker 1: a mark in the shape of his old dojo Cobra
38:11
Speaker 1: Kai's logo emblazoned on his just under his shoulder. Frightened,
38:16
Speaker 1: he lets out a few choice expletives, down to a
38:18
Speaker 1: few cores banquets for courage, and sets out to find
38:22
Speaker 1: an answer to what is going on. However, when he
38:24
Speaker 1: goes to step out of his store, he actually steps
38:27
Speaker 1: through a portal and ends up on what looks to
38:29
Speaker 1: be a mountain on an island. He hears a familiar
38:32
Speaker 1: voice behind him, Hey, Blondie, welcome to Crease's cove with
38:35
Speaker 1: a k. He turns around and there is John Crease.
38:39
Speaker 1: Chris goes on to explain that he serves the Emperor
38:41
Speaker 1: of the out World and that he has marked Johnny
38:44
Speaker 1: one of his star pupils, to fight for him. All
38:46
Speaker 1: those years ago, all that training was for this moment.
38:50
Speaker 1: Finally Johnny could prove his martial arts skills were real
38:53
Speaker 1: by competing in Cobra Kaimbat, helping to kill the Karate
38:57
Speaker 1: kids and take over the earth. For a moment, Johnny
39:00
Speaker 1: feels loved and excited for his old days of glory,
39:02
Speaker 1: until he is hit with flashbacks the echoes of Crease's voice,
39:05
Speaker 1: and he remembers why he left Cobra Kai in the
39:07
Speaker 1: first place. He shouts screw you, man and heads for
39:10
Speaker 1: the coast. Sadly, when he gets there, if he realizes
39:12
Speaker 1: he doesn't know how to get back to his own world,
39:15
Speaker 1: and is all of a sudden knocked unconscious. When he
39:18
Speaker 1: comes to, he sees Daniel lar Russo and what Mr
39:21
Speaker 1: Miyagi standing over him. W t F shouts Johnny, and
39:25
Speaker 1: Daniel says, come on, dude, calm down, and he reaches
39:28
Speaker 1: down a hand to help Johnny up. Johnny begrudgingly takes
39:31
Speaker 1: his hand, and that's when Mr Miyagi explains that he
39:34
Speaker 1: never died. He's the defender of the Earth Realm, and
39:36
Speaker 1: when he heard Crease was issuing a Cobra kimbat, he
39:38
Speaker 1: had to leave to try to stop him. Sadly, by
39:41
Speaker 1: then the challenge was issued and Miagi had to start
39:43
Speaker 1: assembling his team. As much as he loved Daniel, Daniel
39:46
Speaker 1: alone wasn't enough and kind of a schlub, so he
39:49
Speaker 1: introduced Johnny to the kids. There was, of course, Daniel LaRusso,
39:53
Speaker 1: who was I'm gonna say tank for lack of a
39:56
Speaker 1: better word. He could take a licking and keep on kicking.
39:59
Speaker 1: There is Joe was in the honorable who was able
40:01
Speaker 1: to paralyze his opponents before landing the fatal blow. Next
40:05
Speaker 1: was angry Julie Pierce, who could grow hawk talents and
40:08
Speaker 1: wings to attack her foes. Lastly was Dre Parker. You
40:12
Speaker 1: may not know him because he actually went to China
40:15
Speaker 1: to train, but he could marry any opponent's ability, and
40:18
Speaker 1: they needed one last person for their team, so Johnny
40:21
Speaker 1: could redeem himself, free himself from his nightmares and defeat Crease.
40:25
Speaker 1: Vengeance is sweet, sweeter than his hate for Daniel, so
40:28
Speaker 1: he agreed and they all headed to the match. When
40:30
Speaker 1: they got to Creases Cove, they are matched up. Daniel
40:34
Speaker 1: was matched against Terry Silver, a man who turns to
40:37
Speaker 1: silver thankfully Silver soft, and Daniel defeats him. Next was
40:41
Speaker 1: chosen who fights Snake, an actual snake man, and it's
40:45
Speaker 1: a game of who can paralyze who first. Julie faces
40:48
Speaker 1: off against Alpha Nett. Alpha Nett can multiply into a
40:51
Speaker 1: whole fraternity of angry himself and does so. Julie sprouts
40:55
Speaker 1: her talents and starts slashing her way through. Dre is
40:58
Speaker 1: against the Fighting Dragon, and Johnny comes up against Crease's
41:01
Speaker 1: new favorite Mico Bad Boys Barnes, who sprouts extra arms
41:05
Speaker 1: when he rages out and it's the new current champion
41:08
Speaker 1: of the out World since Johnny decline. Johnny defeats him
41:11
Speaker 1: using guile and the element of surprise, striking first and
41:14
Speaker 1: striking hard. They're about to deliver the final fatalities, but instead,
41:19
Speaker 1: learning from Mr Miyagi honk the opponent's noses, Chrease cannot
41:23
Speaker 1: abide by losing, and this humiliation. He shouts no mercy
41:28
Speaker 1: and jumps towards the kids, says I don't think so,
41:31
Speaker 1: and the kids take back up their fighting stances. We
41:34
Speaker 1: flash to Earth and the students of West Valley High
41:36
Speaker 1: all of a sudden get a chill down their spines.
41:38
Speaker 1: As the principal announces an assembly. Students give a warm
41:41
Speaker 1: welcome to your new pe teacher, Mr sub Zero. The
41:45
Speaker 1: water fountain in the corner of the Jim freezes fade
41:48
Speaker 1: to black. I like that you shouldn't have any Mortal
41:53
Speaker 1: Kombat characters until the end. Well, listen, listen like they
41:59
Speaker 1: so Mike mic Oh, bad Boy Barnes kind of was
42:05
Speaker 1: like the Goro because he had to Actually, I got
42:08
Speaker 1: I got the gimmick. No, but then I only had
42:11
Speaker 1: two characters from Karate Kids show up in mind so well,
42:14
Speaker 1: and Snake is a henchman in Karate Kid three and
42:18
Speaker 1: Reptile is about a henchman in Mortal Kombat. So yeah, well,
42:24
Speaker 1: here's the here's the crazy thing, Aeriel. Because Moral Kombat
42:27
Speaker 1: the more recent ones have started to include lots of
42:32
Speaker 1: different characters as DLC. Who knows, maybe maybe one of
42:36
Speaker 1: our pitches is gonna end up being incorporated in the
42:39
Speaker 1: next version. That would be awful fun. Yeah, I think
42:43
Speaker 1: I think the crane kick idea about it being unstoppable
42:47
Speaker 1: is makes it a little opie, So maybe they got
42:49
Speaker 1: to figure that one out. But we'll see. I mean,
42:52
Speaker 1: the bad guy did block it in Karate Kid to
42:55
Speaker 1: spoiler Yeah yeah, um. And I like how you had
42:58
Speaker 1: Daniels stepping on a rock and falling into a spike
43:00
Speaker 1: of pits. I imagine that's how he'd be defeated. Well, yeah,
43:04
Speaker 1: because I mean, you know, I gotta I gotta make
43:07
Speaker 1: sure that however I finish my story, that it is unsatisfactory.
43:12
Speaker 1: So I don't think I've ever had a pitch where
43:17
Speaker 1: the hero defeated the villain outright. It's always that something
43:21
Speaker 1: went wrong and the hero wins kind of by default.
43:25
Speaker 1: Maybe one day you'll surprise yourself, Jonathan. Who knows. Maybe
43:28
Speaker 1: I'll grow as a writer, but I'm not counting on it.
