Speaker 1: The Large New Drunk Collider Podcast is a production of
0:10
Speaker 1: I Heart Radio. Hey everybody, welcome to the Large New
0:23
Speaker 1: Drunk Collider podcast podcast. That's all about the geeky things
0:27
Speaker 1: happening in the world and how very excited we are
0:30
Speaker 1: about them. I'm Ariel casting and with me as always.
0:36
Speaker 1: Is this super crazy awesome Jonathan Strickland. Hey, Ariel Cohen,
0:41
Speaker 1: I ask you a question. You're going to pitch a
0:49
Speaker 1: show about historical figure Allah Hamilton. What figure from history
0:57
Speaker 1: do you pick just for comedy sake. I'm going to
1:00
Speaker 1: say the Earl of Sandwich. And it's interactive. Each act
1:03
Speaker 1: or each musical number, the audience gets another piece of
1:06
Speaker 1: the sandwich that they will build during the show to
1:09
Speaker 1: eat an intermission for their snack. I like it. So
1:11
Speaker 1: it's so it's dinner theater. It's dinner theater. I mean,
1:16
Speaker 1: I am sure there are I am certain there are
1:20
Speaker 1: much more important historical figures to write a musical about.
1:23
Speaker 1: But that just off the top of my head, that
1:26
Speaker 1: amuses me. I think that's a good answer. I think
1:29
Speaker 1: that's a good answer. Okay, Well, I would say Guttenberg
1:32
Speaker 1: as in the creator of the printing press. But some
1:35
Speaker 1: people from the Upright Citizens Brigade already did that and
1:38
Speaker 1: they did an amazing job. So that's a comedy masterpiece
1:42
Speaker 1: I can't touch. So my choice is Joshua Abraham Norton,
1:46
Speaker 1: a k a. Emperor Norton, the first of the United
1:50
Speaker 1: States of America. He's a guy who was born in England,
1:54
Speaker 1: raised in South Africa, came over to San Francisco in
1:58
Speaker 1: the mid eight hundred and after having a massive financial
2:04
Speaker 1: uh setback, I got very fed up with the court
2:09
Speaker 1: systems in the United States and self proclaimed as the
2:13
Speaker 1: Emperor of the US, and people in San Francisco thought
2:16
Speaker 1: he was amusing. And he even printed up currency of
2:20
Speaker 1: his own device and people accepted it and they celebrated him.
2:26
Speaker 1: That's that would be a lot of fun to watch
2:29
Speaker 1: musical on that. It's absolutely true and it's totally bonkers.
2:34
Speaker 1: It is very bonkers. You know. My other choice, because
2:38
Speaker 1: you know I was going to come in with my
2:39
Speaker 1: indecision at the end of it, would be Mr Rogers
2:45
Speaker 1: musical about Mr Rogers. I think hardcore gangster wrap. Mr
2:48
Speaker 1: Rogers show would be amazing. It would be amazing, you know,
2:53
Speaker 1: I'm I'm sure he'd approve, But you know, I like
2:57
Speaker 1: positive influential figures and celebrating them. And anytime there's a Mr.
3:02
Speaker 1: Rogers movie, I watch it, or a documentary, I watch it.
3:04
Speaker 1: So musical is the next logical step there? Maybe he
3:09
Speaker 1: could have a heartfelt scut discussion with your emperor. That
3:13
Speaker 1: would be that would be interesting. He could find out
3:15
Speaker 1: why the emperor was so sad and it all has
3:18
Speaker 1: to do with Rice. But that's a story for another time.
3:21
Speaker 1: What we're going to do instead is transition into our
3:24
Speaker 1: news items. And first up is we wanted to talk
3:28
Speaker 1: a little bit about the the trailer that was released
3:31
Speaker 1: for shang Xi, the next Marvel film that's about a
3:36
Speaker 1: character who has a history with the Ten Rings, the
3:42
Speaker 1: same organization that brought us the Mandarin and the Iron
3:46
Speaker 1: Man movies. This trailer was so exciting to me in
3:55
Speaker 1: a way that I expected, I don't know, something that
3:58
Speaker 1: felt more Marvel, or more Martial Arts or more Iron Fist,
4:02
Speaker 1: which was the least favorite of the Defender movies on Netflix.
4:06
Speaker 1: But instead I got something that just delighted me and
4:09
Speaker 1: excited me and surprised me in a myriad of ways.
4:13
Speaker 1: All the way through the trailer was going, oh, that's
4:15
Speaker 1: so cool. Oh, that's so cool. It's kind of it
4:17
Speaker 1: feels like Marvel's answer to Mortal Kombat. To me, I
4:22
Speaker 1: feel like it's almost like, I mean, we're gonna get
4:24
Speaker 1: Marvel's answer to Batman later on, but it feels a
4:28
Speaker 1: little like Marvel's answer to Batman in that the the
4:34
Speaker 1: bits you see about shang Chi's the character's childhood, um
4:39
Speaker 1: and what he has gone through in in regard to
4:43
Speaker 1: training reminds me a lot of stuff you see Bruce
4:48
Speaker 1: Wayne going through once he's determined that he wants to
4:51
Speaker 1: become a vigilante. And uh, it's you know, the movie
4:57
Speaker 1: doesn't give it too many details. It's a lot of style,
5:01
Speaker 1: but it's really cool style. It gives little hints of
5:04
Speaker 1: things like the history of the character, the fact that
5:07
Speaker 1: the character has had sort of a ten year grace
5:10
Speaker 1: period after training to kind of have experiences before being
5:15
Speaker 1: told that now it's time for you to assume your
5:18
Speaker 1: responsibility in your place. Um. And there's not like a
5:22
Speaker 1: whole lot of of humor in the trailer until the
5:26
Speaker 1: very very end of it, and it's it's a great stinger,
5:30
Speaker 1: a fantastic way to end your trailer, but it does
5:35
Speaker 1: just it looks really good and the fight choreography looks
5:38
Speaker 1: really good and actually makes me think of um, like
5:41
Speaker 1: the fight sequence in uh in in Winter Soldier where
5:47
Speaker 1: Captain America is in the the elevator and has to
5:51
Speaker 1: fight his way out. Uh, it makes me think of that,
5:54
Speaker 1: Like it's that kind of really physical fight choreography and
5:59
Speaker 1: you can follow the action and even just those short
6:02
Speaker 1: bits of the trailer something I really appreciate because for
6:06
Speaker 1: a while there the style of the day was someone's fighting.
6:11
Speaker 1: Someone got hit. I don't know if it was the
6:12
Speaker 1: good guy or the bad guy. Yeah. Yeah. And the
6:17
Speaker 1: other thing is it puts the pedestrians is the wrong word.
6:20
Speaker 1: It puts the civilians in the trailer into situations that
6:24
Speaker 1: I've found like very like, oh, my goodness has happened,
6:28
Speaker 1: and he just saved her from this thing. Uh. Not
6:30
Speaker 1: to be vague, watched the trailer, you'll understand what I'm
6:33
Speaker 1: talking about, but just the situations that the fights were in,
6:37
Speaker 1: the way that the people were saved, the danger that
6:39
Speaker 1: the people were in, and yeah, the moves, it was
6:41
Speaker 1: it was clear and it was fresh. You should make
6:44
Speaker 1: a great point because this is a trailer where we
6:46
Speaker 1: see a hero being heroic, which everyone who's heard me
6:49
Speaker 1: on this podcast knows. That's my biggest complaint about the
6:52
Speaker 1: DC movies is that, with the exception of Wonder Woman, UM,
6:56
Speaker 1: the d C characters are rarely shown to be heroic
7:00
Speaker 1: towards ordinary people. They're they're more like superpowered action figures
7:05
Speaker 1: fighting each other. Well and and Shane chi Is is
7:11
Speaker 1: are you familiar with them not? This is one of
7:13
Speaker 1: those like I would put this up there with Iron Fists,
7:16
Speaker 1: Like there were certain types of characters from the comic
7:19
Speaker 1: books that I just never really learned much about. So
7:23
Speaker 1: this was one where I went into it blind, not
7:25
Speaker 1: knowing what to expect, not really expecting to to have
7:29
Speaker 1: it resonate with me. But the trailer hit all the
7:32
Speaker 1: right buttons for me. Yeah, to me, like he's he's
7:36
Speaker 1: definitely more street level, like a defender, um, because he
7:40
Speaker 1: doesn't really have superpowers. He's just, like you said, like Batman,
7:44
Speaker 1: really freaking good at what he does. UM. So that
7:47
Speaker 1: also makes his heroicism to me a little bit more
7:51
Speaker 1: important in moving It is interesting to think that he
7:55
Speaker 1: has been incorporated into this because you know, the Marvel
8:00
Speaker 1: is sort of escalated throughout the process of the m
8:04
Speaker 1: c U movies coming out, and we're now at the
8:06
Speaker 1: point where we're getting into cosmic level heroes and villains, right,
8:11
Speaker 1: I mean we already are there. Thanos was one, but
8:15
Speaker 1: Doctor Strange, Scarlet, Witch, Captain Marvel. You know, these are
8:20
Speaker 1: characters who are immensely powerful in the Marvel universe, and
8:26
Speaker 1: it is refreshing to see that Marvel hasn't turned away
8:30
Speaker 1: from characters on the other side of the spectrum who
8:33
Speaker 1: have great stories to tell, but they aren't like cosmic
8:38
Speaker 1: level powerful. You know, they're not the Fantastic Four or
8:42
Speaker 1: any of these other characters. No. I mean, we also
8:45
Speaker 1: have the new Hawkeye movie coming out, and Hawkeye doesn't
8:48
Speaker 1: have superpowers. He's just really good at what he does.
8:51
Speaker 1: I would even wager that Falcon doesn't have superpowers. He
8:55
Speaker 1: has a super suit, but you know not, he's not
8:58
Speaker 1: even like Iron Man. He's fully protected in his student armor.
9:02
Speaker 1: He's he's just got some some wings and pretty wings.
9:09
Speaker 1: No spoilers not seen the most recent episode. Oh I have,
9:13
Speaker 1: but maybe not all of our listeners. I'm sorry. I mean,
9:17
Speaker 1: he does have wings, chicken wings. They're delicious. Anyhow, speaking
9:22
Speaker 1: of things that has wings. Yes, I'm speaking. We's talking
9:28
Speaker 1: about helicopters now, I guess we're just adopting a different
9:32
Speaker 1: manner of speech. No, we want to talk about We
9:35
Speaker 1: want to talk about Ingenuity, the little chopper that could
9:40
Speaker 1: on Mars. So this was like a what NASA would
9:44
Speaker 1: refer to as like a high risk experiment because there
9:47
Speaker 1: was no guarantee that it was ever going to work.
9:50
Speaker 1: Ingenuity is a little helicopter like drone that hits the
9:55
Speaker 1: ride aboard the Perseverance rover and uh. It has rotors
10:01
Speaker 1: that are very long and very lights mayle like carbon fiber.
10:05
Speaker 1: It's it weighs about four pounds here on Earth. But
10:07
Speaker 1: you gotta remember that Mars gravity is about of what
10:11
Speaker 1: Earth's is, so it's different there. But Mars's atmosphere is
10:15
Speaker 1: like one per cent the density of Earth's atmosphere, so
10:20
Speaker 1: there's less air to generate lift from. So the scientists
10:24
Speaker 1: really weren't sure if they were going to be able
10:26
Speaker 1: to make this happen. In order for it to work,
10:29
Speaker 1: the rotors have to turn around twenty four revolutions per minute. Now,
10:35
Speaker 1: by comparison a terrestrial helicopter one here on Earth. Those
10:40
Speaker 1: the main rotors turned at about four hundred to five
10:43
Speaker 1: hundred revolutions per minute, so this is like six times
10:46
Speaker 1: as fast almost, and that was just necessary for this
10:50
Speaker 1: little thing to be able to fly. So earlier this
10:54
Speaker 1: week NASA gave it a test run and yeah, it
11:00
Speaker 1: done flu. It done flu. Which is so exciting because
11:05
Speaker 1: it means that we can explore parts of Mars that
11:07
Speaker 1: we haven't been able to explore before and get all
11:10
Speaker 1: kinds of new data and pictures. And now, to be clear,
11:14
Speaker 1: this one probably not going to do a whole lot
11:17
Speaker 1: of that because it's very limited. It can it only
11:20
Speaker 1: has planned to take as many as five total test flights.
11:24
Speaker 1: That's if it can do that. It just has a
11:27
Speaker 1: camera on it. It doesn't have any like, um uh,
11:31
Speaker 1: scientific experiments on it. But this is a proof of
11:34
Speaker 1: concept that worked, so, like you were saying, arial, it
11:37
Speaker 1: means that in the future we could send up, you know,
11:41
Speaker 1: other types of aircraft that could potentially do some really
11:45
Speaker 1: cool science over on Mars. Yeah. Yeah, and I'm super
11:50
Speaker 1: excited that I was alive and aware when that happened. Uh.
11:56
Speaker 1: Somebody else who did some pretty kookie science was Dr
12:01
Speaker 1: Frankenfurter in the Rocky Horror Picture Show. And this next
12:04
Speaker 1: news article is just specifically for Jonathan and our other
12:08
Speaker 1: friends Shay, because there is a theater in Portland that,
12:13
Speaker 1: through this pandemic, has continued showing the Rocky Horror Picture
12:17
Speaker 1: Show every single week, even if there's nobody in the theater. UM,
12:23
Speaker 1: this is this is hilarious. So Nathan Williams, who who
12:27
Speaker 1: hosts the screenings, kept it going even during the pandemic. Sometimes,
12:33
Speaker 1: he said that was just for himself. Sometimes a friend
12:36
Speaker 1: would come along. So just imagine that it's two people
12:41
Speaker 1: otherwise alone in the theater watching the Rocky Horror Picture Show. UM.
12:45
Speaker 1: According to the article that Ariel found, this particular theater
12:50
Speaker 1: in Portland has been showing Rocky Horror for forty three years.
12:55
Speaker 1: It has been having these weekly screenings. And of course,
12:59
Speaker 1: if you're not familiar here with this ritual, Rocky Horror
13:03
Speaker 1: is a cult film that for some people it is
13:07
Speaker 1: a weekly experience to go to a screening. And uh,
13:12
Speaker 1: you know, over the years, people have created various callback
13:17
Speaker 1: responses to the stuff that happens in the movie. So
13:21
Speaker 1: there's a whole script that the audience can follow to
13:26
Speaker 1: UM respond to stuff that characters on screen are saying,
13:30
Speaker 1: most of which we cannot quote because this is a
13:32
Speaker 1: family friendly show. Yeah, and I will say, and I
13:36
Speaker 1: know Jonathan will probably shun me for this. Without that
13:39
Speaker 1: call in response, without that audience interaction, the movie gets
13:42
Speaker 1: a little long, and it's not near I think. I
13:45
Speaker 1: think part of the issue is that it is a
13:48
Speaker 1: love letter to the B movies of like the nineteen fifties,
13:52
Speaker 1: but with a really camp be twist. Um, and those
13:56
Speaker 1: B movies of the nineteen fifties always would drag, they
14:00
Speaker 1: always did, and this one is faithful to that tradition
14:04
Speaker 1: and it drags too. And I didn't mean that in
14:08
Speaker 1: the pun sense, but that also applies. Yes, yes it does.
14:14
Speaker 1: But you know, I just think it's delightful that, Um,
14:17
Speaker 1: they kept it going for the fifty four weeks that
14:20
Speaker 1: they were under quarantine. But now now they have they're
14:24
Speaker 1: about to open back up. Done a couple of screenings
14:27
Speaker 1: with a limited number of tickets per screening. Yeah, so
14:31
Speaker 1: they're hoping they can stick with that. I guess if
14:33
Speaker 1: if people continue to stay safe, they will. But I
14:36
Speaker 1: just you know, whether you like the movie or not,
14:39
Speaker 1: I think it's just a delightful story. Well, and and
14:42
Speaker 1: it's it's a movie that has a community around it,
14:45
Speaker 1: and that community has community activities that are centered on
14:50
Speaker 1: the movie. So in a way, I would say, like
14:53
Speaker 1: Rocky Horror coming Back is kind of a one of
14:57
Speaker 1: those indicators of people being able to reconnect. It is,
15:02
Speaker 1: you know, the movie is not so much as important
15:04
Speaker 1: as the people who come together to celebrate the film.
15:07
Speaker 1: The movie is just the conduit that brings the people together,
15:11
Speaker 1: and and that is something that is pretty exciting to see.
15:15
Speaker 1: You know, I'm kind of surprised that Mad Max hasn't
15:19
Speaker 1: had the same sort of community built around it, because
15:24
Speaker 1: I would say that is that is certainly a special
15:27
Speaker 1: series of movies as well, one that I like, although
15:30
Speaker 1: to me the first one is doesn't really count. Yeah, No,
15:34
Speaker 1: that one's a tough watch. Road Warrior is tons of fun.
15:37
Speaker 1: Um uh. You know, Thunderdome is Czar like Thunderdome is.
15:42
Speaker 1: The first half of Thunderdome is fantastic, in the second
15:45
Speaker 1: half is a little challenging to get through. Fury Road
15:48
Speaker 1: was just a giant chase movie, but it had some
15:52
Speaker 1: Fury Road to me as flawless. That is like, that's
15:55
Speaker 1: like a perfect Mad Max movie. I loved it, But
15:58
Speaker 1: now we're getting another one. They're finally gearing up to
16:02
Speaker 1: start filming the spinoff, Furious Yeah, and this one's not
16:07
Speaker 1: a sequel, it's a prequel. It's it's telling the story
16:09
Speaker 1: of Furiosa before the stuff we saw on Fury Road. Yes,
16:14
Speaker 1: and Anya Taylor Joy will be playing her and Chris
16:17
Speaker 1: Helmsworth will be in it. And they're saying that it
16:20
Speaker 1: might be one of the largest movies made in Australia.
16:24
Speaker 1: That's hard to believe. I mean, it's Australia, it's not
16:28
Speaker 1: New Zealand. I mean, but you know you've got Marvel
16:31
Speaker 1: movies that also film. Yeah, they're I mean, like I
16:34
Speaker 1: imagine there's gonna be some pretty amazing stuff. I wonder
16:39
Speaker 1: how many of the characters that we saw in Fury
16:42
Speaker 1: Road might make an appearance, Like will we see the
16:47
Speaker 1: baby nuts. Well, I'm thinking of the various warlords who
16:50
Speaker 1: were in Fury Road, if any of them will show up.
16:53
Speaker 1: Not necessarily, Furiosa might end up taking place in a
16:56
Speaker 1: totally different part, a totally different region, and only hint
17:00
Speaker 1: at how she came to be where she was by
17:03
Speaker 1: the beginning of Fury Road. I think if I recall
17:07
Speaker 1: correctly from Fury Road, and I could be wrong because
17:10
Speaker 1: it's been a while since I watched it, even though
17:11
Speaker 1: I own it um that she was stolen from her
17:17
Speaker 1: tribe essentially a group of people by Immer tant Immer
17:20
Speaker 1: Tam Joe's people, so you know, and this is I
17:23
Speaker 1: think after that time, or she would have remembered it
17:26
Speaker 1: based on a new Taylor Joy's page, So I would
17:31
Speaker 1: imagine we'd see at least assuming that she's not, like
17:35
Speaker 1: you know, on assignment far from home or something where
17:39
Speaker 1: you can avoid having to have those characters come back. Um,
17:43
Speaker 1: but yeah, I think it would be great to learn
17:45
Speaker 1: a little more part of it. Part of me thinks
17:47
Speaker 1: it's great. Part of me thinks that some of the
17:49
Speaker 1: magic of Mad Max is that you get very little
17:53
Speaker 1: explanation for a lot of the characters that you see,
17:56
Speaker 1: which allows you to kind of imagine what their backstories
17:59
Speaker 1: must be. Sometimes it gets fleshed out in additional material
18:03
Speaker 1: like comic books or whatever, or video games. But um,
18:07
Speaker 1: there's always the danger of a prequel or a sequel
18:10
Speaker 1: that really for prequels to take a bit of the
18:14
Speaker 1: magic out by trying to explain something that maybe didn't
18:17
Speaker 1: need to be explained. That being said, I am very
18:20
Speaker 1: excited to see this. I I I'm gonna have to
18:22
Speaker 1: wait till June before I can do it. I bet
18:27
Speaker 1: it will be worth the waight uh. Something that a
18:30
Speaker 1: bunch of other people were excited to see was a
18:33
Speaker 1: new series based on Avatar The Last Airbender, which got
18:37
Speaker 1: recently announced. Now it's not an animated show like Cora,
18:42
Speaker 1: like Legends of Cora, it is a fan discussion series
18:45
Speaker 1: for YouTube panel discussions where they get groups of fans
18:48
Speaker 1: together to debate different things within the Avatar universe. I
18:52
Speaker 1: watched the trailer. Things get heated, people people have opinions, um,
18:59
Speaker 1: and it funny, like it's not not not like funny
19:02
Speaker 1: in a way where I'm ridiculing people. I mean, this
19:04
Speaker 1: is part of what fandom is, right. Fandom is all
19:08
Speaker 1: about people who are very passionate about the stuff they
19:11
Speaker 1: love and having their own take on it, their own
19:15
Speaker 1: perspective on it, and then coming together and talking that
19:19
Speaker 1: out with other fans. And sometimes you find out you've
19:22
Speaker 1: got points of commonality, and sometimes you find out that
19:25
Speaker 1: your perspectives are absolutely in opposition to each other. And
19:29
Speaker 1: that's what the series seems to be about Yeah, and
19:32
Speaker 1: I think it's a great testament to the writers of
19:34
Speaker 1: the Avatar Animated series universe that they created something that
19:38
Speaker 1: so many people have different viewpoints on. UM. If you
19:41
Speaker 1: want to watch it, you can. It starts on April
19:45
Speaker 1: on the Avatar YouTube channel. UM and Jonathan and I
19:49
Speaker 1: want to talk about one of our favorite, well one
19:53
Speaker 1: of our favorite film director groups and our opinions about it,
19:57
Speaker 1: and maybe things will get heated. I guess we'll have
20:00
Speaker 1: to see. But first we're going to take a quick break.
20:14
Speaker 1: So Ariel in your memory. Do you know we're gonna
20:20
Speaker 1: be talking about the Cohen Brothers and their films and
20:23
Speaker 1: what we think about them. Uh, neither of us have
20:26
Speaker 1: seen all of them. Um, I've seen eleven of the
20:30
Speaker 1: eighteen movies that the duo have officially worked on together.
20:35
Speaker 1: There's a nineteenth that's in production now, but obviously I
20:38
Speaker 1: haven't seen that one. Um. But do you remember what
20:42
Speaker 1: the first Coen Brothers movie was that you saw? Yes?
20:49
Speaker 1: It was Brother Where Wow? Okay, so so relatively late
20:53
Speaker 1: comer to the Cohen Brothers And of course, oh Brother
20:56
Speaker 1: were dell is you know it's it's set in in
21:01
Speaker 1: the United States. Um, it's it's said in the early
21:04
Speaker 1: nineteen hundreds when radio is just starting to become a
21:09
Speaker 1: real thing and recording is becoming a real thing. And uh,
21:14
Speaker 1: and it's a retelling of the auditor. Yeah. Yeah, it's
21:17
Speaker 1: taking a mythological approach to the story. Uh. And like
21:21
Speaker 1: like most Coen Brothers movies, it has one of the
21:26
Speaker 1: most amazing soundtracks of all time. Um, fantastic movie, great visuals.
21:34
Speaker 1: I think of Oh Brother as being one of the
21:36
Speaker 1: more accessible Cohen Brothers movies, one of the ones that's
21:40
Speaker 1: easier to for the audience to follow what's happening. I agree.
21:46
Speaker 1: And you know, so I might have seen Hudsucker Proxy priorly,
21:51
Speaker 1: but Oh Brother, that was the first one I remember watching.
21:55
Speaker 1: I remember vividly watching and we're talking about gateways last week.
21:59
Speaker 1: Because so accessible, it was the gateway into their other
22:03
Speaker 1: movies and kind of eased me into appreciating their particular
22:07
Speaker 1: style of storytelling. Yeah. And and that style is really unique,
22:14
Speaker 1: which is I get it. I was being redundant, really unique.
22:17
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean anything, it was, it is unique. Um.
22:20
Speaker 1: Their their take is quirky, some might say unconventional. It's
22:26
Speaker 1: not a good word. They are really good at using
22:31
Speaker 1: metaphor an imagery to supplement their storytelling. So these are
22:37
Speaker 1: the type of movies where if you just had the
22:39
Speaker 1: script in front of you and you're just reading the script,
22:42
Speaker 1: you would only get maybe sixt of what the movie
22:45
Speaker 1: had to offer. The direction and the uh, the intent
22:51
Speaker 1: of those movies is so deep. It's the sort of
22:55
Speaker 1: thing that I began to appreciate more the more I
22:59
Speaker 1: developed to my critical analysis of movies. Not not critical
23:04
Speaker 1: in the sense of finding what's wrong, but rather understanding
23:09
Speaker 1: why the movie is the way it is and the
23:11
Speaker 1: choices that were made to make it that way. There's
23:14
Speaker 1: something of like the fairy tale as well that kind
23:18
Speaker 1: of winds its way through a lot of Coen Brothers movies.
23:21
Speaker 1: You mentioned the Hudsucker Proxy, that's essentially a fairy tale. UM,
23:26
Speaker 1: Hail Caesar is largely a fair raising Arizona another one. UM.
23:32
Speaker 1: Some of them are dark fairy tales. Barton Fink is
23:34
Speaker 1: incredibly dark. I think it's an amazing movie. I think
23:38
Speaker 1: it's also a movie that a lot of younger viewers
23:42
Speaker 1: would have real issues sitting through. It's a very deliberately
23:46
Speaker 1: paced film, but it is a very stuff. So you
23:52
Speaker 1: you post because you just recently watched Fargo, right, yes,
23:57
Speaker 1: which is in another very deliberately paid film, and you
24:01
Speaker 1: mentioned that they put a lot of fairy tale elements
24:04
Speaker 1: into their stories, and they do. Um. I was reading
24:07
Speaker 1: somebody's commentary on acting and on filmmaking and on storytelling,
24:12
Speaker 1: and they're saying that what you watch in television and
24:14
Speaker 1: film is not the in between moments. It's the exceptional
24:17
Speaker 1: moments of somebody's life. But I really feel like, especially
24:21
Speaker 1: after watching Fargo, that the Coen Brothers still like to
24:28
Speaker 1: show a lot of like the everyday life for their characters.
24:31
Speaker 1: So they put these characters in these fantastical situations, but
24:34
Speaker 1: they aren't afraid to just like sit in the mundane
24:38
Speaker 1: and and really let you feel that characters everyday life.
24:44
Speaker 1: So it almost makes the fantastical moments moments more fantastical
24:47
Speaker 1: and the characters more related. To a really interesting point,
24:52
Speaker 1: I agree. I mean, like like their movies are often
24:57
Speaker 1: films where I need to watch it a second time
24:59
Speaker 1: to really appreciate them. There are a couple of exceptions.
25:03
Speaker 1: Hudsucker Proxy is very light and fluffy and charming just
25:08
Speaker 1: on the surface, so you can enjoy it from a
25:10
Speaker 1: surface level. It's not one of their deeper films, Oh Brother,
25:13
Speaker 1: where Art Thou is extremely engaging. There is a lot
25:16
Speaker 1: of deeper stuff in it, but you don't have to
25:21
Speaker 1: be focusing on that door to get entertainment on the movie.
25:24
Speaker 1: Some of the other movies, though, like you need to
25:27
Speaker 1: be really paying attention and thinking about those things in
25:31
Speaker 1: order to get stuff out of it, and that doesn't
25:32
Speaker 1: necessarily come out of the first viewing. Like I remember,
25:35
Speaker 1: the first time I saw The Big Lebowski, I did
25:37
Speaker 1: not like that movie. It has since become one of
25:41
Speaker 1: those movies that I I can watch all the way
25:43
Speaker 1: through from beginning to end and enjoy every second of it.
25:46
Speaker 1: But that's not how it was the first time I
25:48
Speaker 1: saw it. In fact, Fargo was also that way. I
25:50
Speaker 1: didn't like Fargo the first time I saw it. Um,
25:54
Speaker 1: whereas there are other movies that they've done, No Country
25:56
Speaker 1: for Old Men became one of my top favorite movies
25:59
Speaker 1: of all time as soon as I saw it after
26:02
Speaker 1: the first time. It is a harrowing movie. Um. It
26:07
Speaker 1: is heartbreaking at times, it is phenomenal. It is one
26:13
Speaker 1: of those where I was just gripped by the film
26:17
Speaker 1: the entire time I watched it, I I watched part
26:22
Speaker 1: of No Country for Old Men. I having grown my
26:26
Speaker 1: love of the Coen Brothers over the years, I think
26:28
Speaker 1: that I need to watch it again and give it
26:31
Speaker 1: and even growing my love for Westerns. I know we
26:33
Speaker 1: talked in an earlier episode about fandoms that we had
26:38
Speaker 1: to kind of ease into, and that's one of them
26:39
Speaker 1: for me. Um, I really want to sit down and
26:43
Speaker 1: give that another watch, because I know that it's it's
26:46
Speaker 1: got quite the following and quite the acclaim, and I
26:49
Speaker 1: feel like I'm missing out for not having seen it.
26:51
Speaker 1: Speaking of Westerns, at least you need to see the
26:54
Speaker 1: Ballad of Buster Scrugs. It is. It is a masterpiece.
26:59
Speaker 1: The first sequence, so it's five different sequences, if I'm
27:03
Speaker 1: remembering correctly, Um, each one independent of all the others.
27:07
Speaker 1: The first one, uh, is a little violent, but it's
27:11
Speaker 1: it's it's like the most fairy tale ish of all
27:14
Speaker 1: of the five. And the fifth one is the most
27:18
Speaker 1: kind of gothic fairy tale ish of the five. Not
27:23
Speaker 1: not violent. The fifth one is not violent at all.
27:26
Speaker 1: All the violence has already happened. But the fifth one
27:31
Speaker 1: is my faith might be my favorite sequence that the
27:35
Speaker 1: Coen Brothers have ever done, because that that it's it's
27:39
Speaker 1: just five characters. They're in a stage coach, so it's
27:42
Speaker 1: like a bottle episode type thing. They're all in one place.
27:46
Speaker 1: They're all crammed together in a stage coach and there
27:49
Speaker 1: conversing with one another and debating with one another, and
27:55
Speaker 1: UH has a character who might very well be the
27:59
Speaker 1: def And I think that it is a phenomenal piece
28:03
Speaker 1: of filmmaking. I mean, I was super excited to watch
28:09
Speaker 1: it when they first announced it and they released the
28:11
Speaker 1: trailers and and then I heard that the first like
28:15
Speaker 1: the first segment was fantastic, and then it all kind
28:18
Speaker 1: of fizzled from there. I don't I don't think it fizzles.
28:21
Speaker 1: But the second segment is, um, it's not it's not bad.
28:26
Speaker 1: I enjoyed the second segment to the third and fourth
28:30
Speaker 1: segments are hard on you. They are um, they are
28:38
Speaker 1: they are tough. They're not bad, They're just they're harrowing.
28:46
Speaker 1: Knowing that I'm the kind of person that has to
28:48
Speaker 1: look up if a dog dies at the end before
28:50
Speaker 1: I go into a movie. Knowing that, I think I
28:53
Speaker 1: could go into it expecting it to be hard and
28:57
Speaker 1: enjoy it. I could not let my angst do you
29:00
Speaker 1: take over so much. I'm really excited to see what
29:02
Speaker 1: they do with the tragedy of Yes, Yes, yes, and
29:06
Speaker 1: I'm going to go and correct myself although people will
29:08
Speaker 1: have already yelled it there have to be six segments
29:10
Speaker 1: because I just thought of one that didn't fit in
29:14
Speaker 1: with the five that I had already imagined for the
29:16
Speaker 1: Bild to Buster scrugs. So, but that being said, yes,
29:20
Speaker 1: I agree the tragedy of Macbeth. I'm very curious to
29:24
Speaker 1: see that. And also I need to watch some of
29:27
Speaker 1: the films that you know I still haven't checked out,
29:30
Speaker 1: Like I don't think I've seen Miller's Crossing. I've definitely
29:33
Speaker 1: seen Blood Simple, which was their first film, but I
29:36
Speaker 1: don't remember seeing Miller's Crossing, which I hear is amazing.
29:40
Speaker 1: I've never seen a serious man, and I feel like
29:43
Speaker 1: I need to um some of their Some of their
29:47
Speaker 1: middle films are often listed as being kind of lesser
29:51
Speaker 1: than like The Lady Killers and Intolerable Cruelty. I haven't
29:54
Speaker 1: seen either of those, um, but yeah, I need to
29:57
Speaker 1: watch all of them, because even I think even in
30:00
Speaker 1: their lesser films, if you want to call them that,
30:04
Speaker 1: there's a lot to take away from them, Like there's
30:06
Speaker 1: a lot of of directorial style, a lot of Like again,
30:11
Speaker 1: it comes down to choices, editing choices, and directing choices
30:15
Speaker 1: and acting choices, and you can walk away from something
30:18
Speaker 1: and say, like, I have a deeper appreciation for this
30:23
Speaker 1: part of filmmaking, even if the movie itself didn't really
30:26
Speaker 1: speak to me exactly. I mean, I can go into
30:30
Speaker 1: a Cohen Brothers movie and learn an encyclopedia worth of
30:35
Speaker 1: uh things about acting. I'll go back and I'll like,
30:40
Speaker 1: I can't. I have to go back and watch the
30:42
Speaker 1: movie again without my husband because I just want to
30:44
Speaker 1: rewind and watch people's reactions and watch the little nuances
30:48
Speaker 1: they stick in. Um, it's just really fantastic. What is
30:50
Speaker 1: your all time favorite Cohen Brothers. Well, it's No Country
30:53
Speaker 1: for All Men is my all time favorite. But to
30:56
Speaker 1: be fair, like like if or if you're talking about
31:01
Speaker 1: movies that I found, like, I don't think I could
31:03
Speaker 1: say No Country for Old Men is the most entertaining movie.
31:06
Speaker 1: I think it's my favorite for for other reasons, like
31:10
Speaker 1: I have to be in a mood to watch No
31:12
Speaker 1: Country for old men, because it is it is not
31:15
Speaker 1: a movie that you know, you just throw on and
31:17
Speaker 1: grab some popcorn. Um. But if I were, if I
31:21
Speaker 1: were to say, like just for entertainment purposes, oh my gosh,
31:26
Speaker 1: that's hard, um, because Big Lebowski is way up there,
31:31
Speaker 1: Hudsucker Proxy is way up there, and Raising Arizona is
31:36
Speaker 1: way up there. Uh. Those they all three really compete
31:42
Speaker 1: for that. What about you? I would say for me,
31:46
Speaker 1: it's Hudsucker Proxy or Brother where art Thow? That's so good? Yeah,
31:52
Speaker 1: I mean it's Here's the wonderful thing when you can
31:55
Speaker 1: find a creator who makes stuff where it's a struggle
32:00
Speaker 1: for you to identify which one is your favorite because
32:03
Speaker 1: you love them all in different ways. That is phenomenal. Right.
32:09
Speaker 1: There are only a few out there, right, like Quentin Tarantino.
32:13
Speaker 1: While he's a very different kind of stylistic director, he
32:18
Speaker 1: he also makes really amazing movies. And and you know,
32:23
Speaker 1: I don't love all of them equally, but I find
32:25
Speaker 1: all of them interesting for different reasons. Yeah. Same. I
32:29
Speaker 1: guess we'll have to talk about more directors in the
32:31
Speaker 1: future and and uh what we love and dislike about
32:36
Speaker 1: their directorial and story making. Sure you heard it here first, folks,
32:40
Speaker 1: Next week we're going to talk about Neil Breen Ariel.
32:44
Speaker 1: I have such terrible things to show you. But next
32:50
Speaker 1: after this next break, we're going to do a little
32:53
Speaker 1: storytelling of our own, and maybe the Coen Brothers will
32:57
Speaker 1: make it their next movie. We'll see. All Right, we're
33:16
Speaker 1: back and we are going to mash up a couple
33:18
Speaker 1: of the news stories we talked about Reilier in the episode,
33:22
Speaker 1: specifically Avatar the Last Airbender and mad Max, one of
33:29
Speaker 1: which Jonathan has not I have not seen Avatar the
33:32
Speaker 1: Last I've seen like a couple of episodes, so full disclosure. So,
33:36
Speaker 1: my my wife loves the Avatar the Last Airbender series.
33:41
Speaker 1: I don't think she's seen Legend of Cora, but she
33:44
Speaker 1: has watched the full Avatar story, the three books. She's
33:48
Speaker 1: watched all of those, and she loves it. And and
33:51
Speaker 1: I've only seen a couple of episodes and I didn't
33:53
Speaker 1: really get into it. Um So I ended up deciding
33:59
Speaker 1: that rather than uh, totally destroy everyone's love of a
34:03
Speaker 1: of an amazing animated series and incorporate the characters of
34:08
Speaker 1: either the Avatar original Avatar TV series or the Legend
34:13
Speaker 1: of Chorus series, I would dive into ancient history. So
34:18
Speaker 1: um can I go first? Sure? This is called Mad
34:24
Speaker 1: Max the Last Chrome Bender. Uh and and and for
34:29
Speaker 1: the reference, these events would happen a little less than
34:33
Speaker 1: three hundred years before the events of the Avatar The
34:37
Speaker 1: Last Airbender TV series. So this is this is before
34:41
Speaker 1: the Hundred Years War and the Fire Nation trying to
34:44
Speaker 1: take over the world. So here we go. Max has
34:47
Speaker 1: a problem. He's navigating his way through the islands of
34:50
Speaker 1: the Fire Nation. Each island is led by a different warlord.
34:54
Speaker 1: While the Fire Nation is in name, at least a
34:57
Speaker 1: united entity, in reality, it is a collection of competitive
35:00
Speaker 1: regions that jealously guard resources, and Max happens to be
35:04
Speaker 1: in one of those resources. He has borrowed air quotes
35:09
Speaker 1: a souped up miniature Tundra tank, an experimental vehicle developed
35:14
Speaker 1: by and for a vicious Firebender named Kulin, leader of
35:19
Speaker 1: mat Inca Island. She is not known for being particularly forgiving.
35:25
Speaker 1: Max's would be captors are in hot pursuit so to speak.
35:29
Speaker 1: I mean they are Firebenders after all, and Max isn't
35:33
Speaker 1: on his home turf. As such, he finds it difficult
35:36
Speaker 1: to evade the pursuers, and while making a daring maneuver
35:40
Speaker 1: to drift around a corner and a last ditch effort
35:42
Speaker 1: to escape, he sees that around said corner are even
35:46
Speaker 1: more of Coolin's soldiers. He's out of road and out
35:50
Speaker 1: of luck. Captured, he has put into chains and forced
35:54
Speaker 1: to march back up the street. A full detail of
35:58
Speaker 1: fire Nation soldiers escorting him back to Coolan. He is
36:01
Speaker 1: forced to his knees in front of her. She dismisses
36:04
Speaker 1: her guard, who leave her alone with the prisoner. After
36:07
Speaker 1: demonstrating some terrifying fire skills, she surprisingly removes Max's chains.
36:15
Speaker 1: She explains she has a job for Max. He is
36:18
Speaker 1: clearly talented, but more importantly, he is absolutely not affiliated
36:24
Speaker 1: with Coolan. Max, Coulan explains, is to assassinate a different
36:29
Speaker 1: firebender named Rangy. Coulan explains that Rongy was her rival
36:34
Speaker 1: at the Royal Fire Academy for Girls, and that years
36:38
Speaker 1: ago Coulan was defeated and her clan disgraced because of
36:42
Speaker 1: Rongy's actions. Max is to seek out Rongy, using his
36:45
Speaker 1: survivalist abilities to get through impossible situations and take her down.
36:51
Speaker 1: Max unable to really bargain here agrees reluctantly to the proposal,
36:56
Speaker 1: as death is the least attractive option. Coolan gives Max
37:01
Speaker 1: the use of the specialized Tundra tank, and Max is
37:04
Speaker 1: off after some time, having left Coolan's territory, getting a
37:08
Speaker 1: lift on a ship to a neighboring island. Max is
37:11
Speaker 1: clearly looking for a way out. He tries to plan
37:14
Speaker 1: out a circuitous route that would appear as if he
37:17
Speaker 1: were tracking and closing in on Rangy, but with the
37:20
Speaker 1: ultimate goal of ditching the whole thing and going on
37:23
Speaker 1: the run out of the fire Nation entirely his destination
37:27
Speaker 1: the Sinland Village, a farming community and part of the
37:30
Speaker 1: Earth Kingdom. But between him and that are numerous islands
37:35
Speaker 1: and Fire Nation warlords. Max finds himself on a desperate chase,
37:39
Speaker 1: made all the more difficult as tanks are not particularly
37:42
Speaker 1: good at crossing water between islands. Before long, he is
37:46
Speaker 1: forced to abandon his vehicle to travel with the less
37:49
Speaker 1: chance of being noticed, and even then he has to
37:51
Speaker 1: use a hooded cloak to hide his features, which would
37:54
Speaker 1: be instantly alien to the Fire Nation inhabitants. Quietly, practically
37:59
Speaker 1: without speaking, I mean seriously, This movie has like very
38:03
Speaker 1: little dialogue, and almost none of it goes to Max anyway.
38:07
Speaker 1: The Wanderer finds himself hopping island to island, narrowly avoiding discovery.
38:12
Speaker 1: Kolin has found her abandoned vehicle and her soldiers are
38:15
Speaker 1: seeking out Max. In addition, each local island presents its
38:18
Speaker 1: own dangers, and just as Max is plotting his escape
38:21
Speaker 1: through his air quotes borrowing of a small boat, his
38:25
Speaker 1: plan backfires. He had used rumors of Rangy's whereabouts supplies escape,
38:30
Speaker 1: but turns out he was following just a bit too
38:33
Speaker 1: closely because Rangy herself shows up. Turns out it's her
38:37
Speaker 1: boat and she has her girlfriend with her, who just
38:39
Speaker 1: happens to be Avatar Kyoshi from the Earth Kingdom. What
38:43
Speaker 1: follows is a pretty rough butt whoopin for Max, who
38:46
Speaker 1: fails to explain his goal properly at first, But just
38:49
Speaker 1: as Rangy gets ready to roast Max, he blurts out
38:52
Speaker 1: Kolan's plan. Rangy lowers Max and her eyes narrow. Kyoshi,
38:57
Speaker 1: who towers over Max because she's rural tall, puts her
39:02
Speaker 1: hand on Rangey's shoulder, staying her from barbecuing the Wanderer.
39:06
Speaker 1: Rangy tells Max to take the boat and make his escape.
39:10
Speaker 1: Years later, the Fire Nation tells legends of a man
39:13
Speaker 1: who could control a vehicle as if it were an
39:15
Speaker 1: extension of himself, the Chrome Binder he has called, and
39:19
Speaker 1: we wait for the next sequel the end. It's a
39:26
Speaker 1: little less a joke heavy than my normal mashups, but yes,
39:30
Speaker 1: but it was really really good. So I did mash
39:34
Speaker 1: up the beloved animated series. But specific presumably you've seen it.
39:39
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot more of it. However, this is
39:42
Speaker 1: not going to be true to avatar lore. Trigger warning,
39:48
Speaker 1: I guess. So this is angiy Man Beyond the Thunder Nation.
39:56
Speaker 1: It's five years after the war with the Fire Nation
39:58
Speaker 1: has ended and all the Sans are at peace. Ang
40:02
Speaker 1: along with his team and his trusty sky bison Appa,
40:05
Speaker 1: are eating their way through the nations again out of boredom,
40:09
Speaker 1: and that's when they come across it, past the reaches
40:12
Speaker 1: of the Metal Clan, a new nation, but not heart
40:15
Speaker 1: as Captain Planet might lead us to believe. This nation
40:18
Speaker 1: was grim, lawless, a barren desert worse than anything they
40:22
Speaker 1: had ever seen before. But facing a lack of purpose,
40:26
Speaker 1: Ang decides it's now their quest to figure out the
40:29
Speaker 1: strange nation, rebuild it to glory and connect it with
40:32
Speaker 1: all of the other nations that are now at peace. However,
40:36
Speaker 1: to do so, he must find who runs the sandpit.
40:40
Speaker 1: Just as the friends settled into camp for the first night,
40:42
Speaker 1: they're attacked by marauders who tried to steal Appa for
40:45
Speaker 1: what Ang doesn't even want to imagine. Tough and Ang
40:48
Speaker 1: team up and swipe the marauders away in a massive sandstorm. Thankfully,
40:53
Speaker 1: the storm must have cleared out any other marauders, and
40:55
Speaker 1: the group are able to spend the rest of the
40:56
Speaker 1: night uneventfully. However, they all to side that if they're
41:00
Speaker 1: going to venture on, they need to disguise Appa to
41:03
Speaker 1: protect him. Seeing that the marauders came in on vehicles,
41:06
Speaker 1: the group find an old truck, gut it, and hide
41:08
Speaker 1: Appa inside. Um it's kind of a chincy disguise, but
41:15
Speaker 1: it's what they had. They travel on and the first
41:18
Speaker 1: town they come to is a settlement led by a
41:21
Speaker 1: warlord called Humongous. The settlement is destitute and no one
41:25
Speaker 1: seems to want to help Hang and his friends correct anything,
41:29
Speaker 1: probably out of fear. And that's when they see it.
41:32
Speaker 1: A small feral child, fire bending in the shadows. They
41:36
Speaker 1: go and they talk to him, and he agrees to
41:38
Speaker 1: reunite this land to the rest of the Nations with them.
41:42
Speaker 1: As they go to take the feral child out of
41:45
Speaker 1: the settlement, Humongous chases after them, entering his vehicle, and
41:48
Speaker 1: the small feral child sets the oil take on fire,
41:51
Speaker 1: exploding the vehicle and ridding the settlement of Humongous. The
41:55
Speaker 1: child stays behind to help the settlement recover, and Hang
41:58
Speaker 1: and his friends move on. Next, they come to a
42:00
Speaker 1: place with a sign in the front that says Bartertown.
42:03
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Thunderdome. Ang shouts out as Andrew Hey,
42:07
Speaker 1: who runs Bartertown, and a leader named Auntie comes out
42:10
Speaker 1: being a Barterer. She agrees to let their town rejoin
42:13
Speaker 1: the Nations and civilization if if Ang could defeat her
42:18
Speaker 1: champion in the Thunderdome. He agrees and comes face to
42:21
Speaker 1: face with a tag team duo called Master and Blaster.
42:25
Speaker 1: Air starts his airbending and knocks the helmet off. Blaster,
42:28
Speaker 1: who finally free, turns against Master and deafens him with
42:31
Speaker 1: a thunder Blast. Turns out Blaster was a pair of
42:34
Speaker 1: powerful air Airbender and the helmet was keeping his powers
42:36
Speaker 1: at Bay Blaster sides with Ang and his friends. Auntie
42:41
Speaker 1: sees she's defeated and agrees to join the rest of
42:43
Speaker 1: the nations. Hang and his team ask if there are
42:46
Speaker 1: any other leaders they need to confront their task, and
42:48
Speaker 1: Auntie says there's one other angey man and she points
42:52
Speaker 1: them to the settled Dill run by a horrible guy
42:55
Speaker 1: named Immertan Joe. The team Avatar travels on and they
43:00
Speaker 1: get there and they see that Amortan Joe has enslaved
43:03
Speaker 1: a bunch of water benders. Beyond that, Joe is unreceptive
43:06
Speaker 1: to joining the nations. He thinks he's got a good
43:09
Speaker 1: thing going on, with everybody enslaved and him having all
43:12
Speaker 1: of the milk and the water and the goods. Uh
43:15
Speaker 1: Qatar and Socca, insisting that the waterbenders can't stay with
43:18
Speaker 1: this horrible gross man, sneak the water Benders inside of
43:21
Speaker 1: oppas costume to get them out of the citadel. They escape,
43:24
Speaker 1: and the water beenders tell the team about the fabled
43:26
Speaker 1: Green Place, a place that can restore all of this
43:29
Speaker 1: waste land to its once former glory, and the team
43:32
Speaker 1: heads towards it. Joe finds out that his water Benders
43:36
Speaker 1: have been taken, and he sends his one firebender, Furiosa,
43:39
Speaker 1: after them, and also alerts the nearby Bullet Nation and
43:42
Speaker 1: Gas Clan, some rogue Earthbenders who tried to make the
43:44
Speaker 1: best of it when their land went to waste. Furiosa,
43:49
Speaker 1: the Bullet town Ees, and the Gasses all chase after
43:54
Speaker 1: Ang and his friends. At that moment, in an effort
43:58
Speaker 1: to get away safely, Appa bursts out of his disguise
44:00
Speaker 1: and flies above the Bullets in the fire and the Mayhem,
44:03
Speaker 1: furious as seeing this, realizes that all is not lost.
44:06
Speaker 1: There's still a green place in the world, and she
44:09
Speaker 1: turns sides and joins forces with the Team Avatar. She
44:12
Speaker 1: destroys the other pursuers, makes peace with Ang and his friends,
44:16
Speaker 1: and leads them all to the Green Place, where together
44:18
Speaker 1: they can bring back life to this desolate nation. They
44:21
Speaker 1: do so and work together with the towns a freed,
44:24
Speaker 1: bringing them all back to prosperity, and Ang returns to
44:27
Speaker 1: the thunder Dome to Airbend with Blaster as a new
44:30
Speaker 1: tag team duo. So you walk through Mad Max two, three,
44:35
Speaker 1: and four, but just skill the first one because it
44:42
Speaker 1: doesn't count. It's pretty just I just thought it was
44:45
Speaker 1: funny because you could have pointed out that that Morton
44:48
Speaker 1: Joe looked an awful lot like this other guy called
44:51
Speaker 1: toe Cutter from like years ago, because it was the
44:55
Speaker 1: same actor who played both characters. Toe Cutter was in
44:58
Speaker 1: the first mont. I could have, but I just imagined
45:02
Speaker 1: that Team Avatar was dealing with the fire names. Maybe
45:05
Speaker 1: that was earlier years war thing when when that first
45:10
Speaker 1: what happened. I liked it. I liked all the like
45:13
Speaker 1: I thought at first it was just going to be
45:15
Speaker 1: a Road Warrior Avatar mashup. But you you you really
45:20
Speaker 1: doubled down on that one. I really doubled down. You know,
45:24
Speaker 1: I have this habit of writing up my mashups in
45:26
Speaker 1: a way where I just cannot say any of the
45:29
Speaker 1: words correctly. No, I mean, listen that that's my style
45:32
Speaker 1: of writing too, is that I'll write things that I read,
45:35
Speaker 1: like when I'm just reading silently, it sounds great in
45:38
Speaker 1: my head, and then a human mouth tries to say it,
45:42
Speaker 1: and then it all kind of falls apart. You know,
45:45
Speaker 1: I'm kind of surprised that a human mouth tried to
45:47
Speaker 1: say any bit of this mashup, but I think it
45:50
Speaker 1: turned out well, no, it was. I didn't know what
45:52
Speaker 1: to expect when I agreed to do this one, so
45:55
Speaker 1: I'm glad it turned out the way it did. If
45:58
Speaker 1: you out there have I is for a mash up,
46:01
Speaker 1: or maybe you have your own ideas of what a
46:03
Speaker 1: man Max Avatar mashup would be, or maybe you just
46:06
Speaker 1: think that we should never touch Avatar ever again. You
46:11
Speaker 1: know Avatar, The Last Airbender, Avatar, Pandora, Avatar, fair Game, Pocahons,
46:17
Speaker 1: anyway game. If you have any of these thoughts, you
46:19
Speaker 1: should get in touch with us. Ariel. How do they
