  Speaker 1: Hi, I'm Leah Thompson, you're listening to Movie Meltdown.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: It's showtime.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: The following feature has been rated R by the Motion
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: Picture Association of America. It is intended for mature audiences
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: and parental discretion is advised.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Our nuclear reactor pumping out one million kilowatts of power.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: What's up and welcome to movie meltdown i'm brian.
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: I'm nora i'm jacqueline.
• 1:22
  Speaker 6: I'm philip and we are back once again we've survived
• 1:26
  Speaker 6: long enough to put out one more episode we'll just
• 1:29
  Speaker 6: day by day at this point we'll just like the
• 1:31
  Speaker 6: rest of the world We'll see if we make it
• 1:33
  Speaker 6: to tomorrow. So as we mentioned briefly on our last
• 1:40
  Speaker 6: Patreon episode, if you didn't hear it, you should join
• 1:43
  Speaker 6: the club. Go get on the horror club and you
• 1:45
  Speaker 6: can hear all about it. But we were discussing how
• 1:48
  Speaker 6: we kind of did a test run of talking over
• 1:53
  Speaker 6: the internets. And then I was like, I don't really
• 1:55
  Speaker 6: want to do that with our horror club.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: So we pushed that off. And then we came back
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: to do the horror club.
• 2:01
  Speaker 6: And then I was like, well, but I kind of
• 2:03
  Speaker 6: want to hear what you guys are up to. We
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: haven't sat down in months. So I was like, usually if.
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: It's been a few weeks, sometimes it's hard to pull
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: together a few things that we've watched.
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: But I figure you give it three months or so,
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: we probably watched one or two things.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: So I figured maybe we do.
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: Some sort of live and in-person geek activities. Before I
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: was checking in to see if those people were still alive.
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: You've made it here, so you're at least somewhat alive.
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: Enough that you got yourself out into the world. So,
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: now we can do live and in-person geek activities.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: So, the world.
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: Falling apart, you hunker down in the bunker, what are
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: you watching?
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: I find that I've been watching a lot of things
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: that I would not have given a chance before. Not like,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: very explicitly, like, fuck that movie, but things that just,
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: I always scroll past, like I watched Shazam, finally.
• 3:03
  Speaker 7: I would never think to turn it on.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: I'm always just like, recommend it for you.
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: And I'm like, no, not today.
• 3:09
  Speaker 8: And I did it.
• 3:09
  Speaker 9: And I was very happy.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: That I did.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: The movie, I'm assuming, not the TV. There was a
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: TV series if you go back.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: I have mostly been watching TV over movies.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: This isn't the one where Shaq plays the genie.
• 3:21
  Speaker 7: That's good.
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: I will always give Kazam a watch.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: I don't care.
• 3:29
  Speaker 9: Time of day.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: I was just getting confused.
• 3:34
  Speaker 9: That's definitely what I thought you were talking about.
• 3:36
  Speaker 7: Everyone thought I was talking about Kazam.
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: Do you think maybe that's what hurt its chances at
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: the box office? Because Shazam did not do, in a
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: world filled with superhero movies, Shazam did not make the
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: kind of money they probably wanted.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: That's a movie people have been screaming for for a while.
• 3:53
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: The Shazam movie.
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: And it's not terrible. Like, it's one of those, like,
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: it was fine. Like, I didn't think they were like,
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: oh my god, this was so much better. But I'm like,
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: it also was not bad.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: Like.
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: A lot of stuff in it was pretty solid and
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: mostly the kids' performances. Like the main and the best
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: friend kid, like their scenes together are really good. Again,
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: grown up gets almost too silly at moments. Like it's
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: a weird dynamic because he's a way more serious kid.
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: Suddenly when he becomes Zachary Levi or whatever his name is,
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: like he's gone back about four years. Like he becomes
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: very kid-like when he's the grown up, more so than
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: when he's the kid, which seems very weird.
• 4:33
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: The thing is, is that the humor in the movie,
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: the pacing of it really reminded me of like Taika Waititi.
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah. In just that it's just like, bam, in your face. Like,
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: here's a laugh.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: And I just enjoyed watching it. I mean, do I,
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: will I remember it?
• 4:51
  Speaker 9: No, I don't care.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: I wasn't sad at home, just like we all are.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: And it made me laugh for an hour and a
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: half or two hours or however long.
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: Again, that's maybe working against it is that it's almost
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: like both ends of that spectrum.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: Like it is a really good comedy, but it plays
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: pretty heavy.
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: And like there's weird dark subplot going on of how
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: everybody gets their powers. And there's these other people that
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: are being victimized along the way and destroyed and ripped apart.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: By evil creatures.
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: I'm like, it's pretty dark and heavy for something that's
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: also kind of a silly slapstick comedy at moments. So yeah,
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: I don't know. It may be so uneven that people
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: don't know what to do with it. But yeah, there's
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: a lot of really good moments in there. That's another
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: one of those that I wonder if that's like why
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: things take off and others don't. It also, you're saying,
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: it makes you to take a moment to give these
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: things a shot.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: That you wouldn't.
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: Do we think maybe, if we're pinning underhanded plots, do
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: you think streaming services are behind all of this? Everybody's
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: making use of their streaming services now.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: This is true.
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: If somebody's manufacturing a disease somewhere, it's probably Netflix.
• 6:08
  Speaker 10: I don't know.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: I'm just saying.
• 6:09
  Speaker 9: Them and Zoom.
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: They're not a sponsor.
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: If anybody benefited from this, Zoom made a fortune. Yeah.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: We're going to start investigating on these, I think. I
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: think that's something to look into.
• 6:21
  Speaker 9: FBI. Ring, ring.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: Neither of them are sponsors, so I don't care. I'll
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: call them out for killing people. So on the sort
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: of superhero tie-in, this is one that I'd heard about.
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: I think on the internets, we're passing the trailer around,
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: like in 2017, back when it came out.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: And like that first time, I was just like, what
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: the hell is this? So I think as I watched.
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: This, I was like, yeah, it's probably good just to
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: sort of reset your.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: System, recalibrate things.
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: Because we've probably watched, especially as horror fans, we've probably
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: watched a lot of like films from other countries, but
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: they're usually like indie movies that you're like, I heard
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: this was really.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: Good and watch it and it probably holds up.
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: How often do you watch really big budget movies from
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: other countries?
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: Because I watched the, well, no, the Guardians. Not the,
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: they're not from a galaxy.
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: This is just 2017's Guardians, which is a, again, even
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: though they worked the Guardians title in, they're not ripping
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: that off.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: It is such an Avengers ripoff from Russia.
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: And again, it just recalibrates things because this is like,
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: pretty high budget for any other country, other than what's
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: being cranked out in Hollywood that has tons of funding.
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: This is probably a pretty high caliber production for them
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: when they release their movies for the year, and yet
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: still kind of circles somewhere around the area of a
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: sci-fi movie.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: In our country, comparatively.
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: The effects are not quite up to speed with something like.
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: The Avengers or any of our superhero.
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: Movies so uh yeah they have your normal kind of
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: superhero people and then a bear because it's russia so
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: they're sort of like i guess the mixture of rocket
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: and groot.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: Into one character he's a giant creature and he's an.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Animal that poster art is fantastic.
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: Exactly see i'm like i saw the trailer and i
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: was like wait is one of them a bear like
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: so he's like a bear man yeah he turns into
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: like a werebear and like he's just yeah that's that's
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: what i watch.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: He's just one part away from being man bear pig.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: So yeah it's um interesting oh.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Man because the poster's great the actual picture of this
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: guy oh that's the trailer which i didn't mean to
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: go to.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: Oh, no, the trailer.
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: Really, the trailer kind of does everything you need it
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: to do. I watched it in its entirety and went,
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: I didn't get anything.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, look at that incredibleness.
• 9:18
  Speaker 7: I did.
• 9:19
  Speaker 9: What?
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Ew.
• 9:21
  Speaker 9: Why does it have abs like that?
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: Because he's ripped, yo. Superheroes always got to have abs.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: Calm down, Jacqueline. Getting a little excited about that bear.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: As far as a Russian superhero movie goes, kind of
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: realistic looking for what I would assume a ManBear hybrid.
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: It's not like a mascot from a basketball game, which
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: is kind of what you would have expected.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: That's what I was expecting.
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: If it was like the 80s, it would have looked
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: like the Roger Corman Fantastic Four.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: It would have looked like.
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: The thing, which, don't get me wrong, that has a
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: special place in all geeks' hearts. But this has definitely
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: you know, moved into the 21st century of.
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: Cheesy CG effects. And, yep, it's interesting.
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: But again, I think all you need to do is
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: go watch the trailer. Because I think the trailer does
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: everything that the movie does.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: It just takes a lot longer.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: The bear has a Gatling gun.
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: Of course. Oh, my God.
• 10:15
  Speaker 9: I mean, come on.
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: It just, oh, my goodness.
• 10:18
  Speaker 9: Yes. Why are his arms so huge and muscular?
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: Because he's a bear. Because he's ripped, yo.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: But they're like less hairy than the rest of them.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: So you can see his hot muscle arms to go
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: with his hot bear abs. Come on, man.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: I feel like this is what Lucas had in mind
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: when he created Chewbacca.
• 10:36
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: But he's like, I just, no one will believe that.
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: But he's like, Peter Mayhew's pretty skinny, so I guess
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: I gotta make him kind of skinny.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: You know, just real tall. How about that? Tall and hairy.
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: What would a shaven Chewbacca look like, I wonder?
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Disturbing it's like oh i don't feel good about life
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: anymore so is the character's name ursa major well of
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: course awesome because there's a picture here and that's the
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: caption just as ursa major that'd.
• 11:07
  Speaker 9: Be pretty great if that was a different character's name
• 11:09
  Speaker 9: and they just didn't explain it at.
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: All like they weren't paying attention oops wait what was
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: this supposed to go towards.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, again, there's not much else to it.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: There's a bad guy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: That, again, is like as generic as a random superhero
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: movie in Russia is going to make a bad guy.
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: And there's a lot of.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Well, they're all bad in Russia.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: I'm sure they don't feel that way in their own country.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: But this movie is genuinely entertaining, correct?
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah, again, it's probably wears out its welcome about an
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: hour in.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: But it's not that long anyway. It's 89 minutes. So really,
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: it's just long enough to be like, okay, I've seen it.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: I'm good. So it's fun and ridiculous.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: That's all I'm asking for with this.
• 11:57
  Speaker 11: I mean.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: That was my thing.
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: I didn't, like, when I first saw it, I didn't, like,
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: knock myself down trying to run and get to it,
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: but it showed up streaming, and I was just like, huh,
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: all right, let's watch this.
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: What the hell else have I got to do? So, Guardians.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, man, that makes.
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: You're just going to be distracted the whole time.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I apologize, you guys, but at the same time,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: not really.
• 12:27
  Speaker 9: For some reason, I've only been watching a bunch of
• 12:31
  Speaker 9: horror movies and horror TV shows.
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: I don't know what.
• 12:34
  Speaker 9: That says about me or why I'm doing that. But
• 12:38
  Speaker 9: I watched The Lodge recently that came out.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: Again, I thought about it. I saw that trailer.
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: I didn't know if we would end up doing an
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: episode on it because it did look pretty good.
• 12:51
  Speaker 9: I don't know if we'd want to, but I can
• 12:53
  Speaker 9: stop talking about it if you do want to.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: You tell me. Is it worth us discussing?
• 12:58
  Speaker 9: It's kind of slow, but generally, I liked it. It's
• 13:04
  Speaker 9: gotten mixed reviews, but the ending left me very disturbed
• 13:09
  Speaker 9: and upset.
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: Is it as disturbing as most horror movies at this point?
• 13:16
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: Because it seems like a lot of things that have
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: come out in the last few years, like weird little
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: indie horror movies, you're like, this will be fun.
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: Oh, my God. What the fuck did I just watch?
• 13:25
  Speaker 9: Yeah. I'm usually not too affected by it, but this
• 13:28
  Speaker 9: one really got me.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Now I want.
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: To watch it. It's going to mess me up.
• 13:33
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 13:34
  Speaker 8: I know. Exactly.
• 13:35
  Speaker 9: Because my friend was like, you never actually get scared
• 13:38
  Speaker 9: of scary movies. Let's watch something that might freak you out.
• 13:41
  Speaker 9: And then afterwards, I was like, great job.
• 13:43
  Speaker 8: Thanks a lot.
• 13:43
  Speaker 9: I'm not going to sleep all night. Um, but it
• 13:48
  Speaker 9: was good. It's about like, um, these two kids and
• 13:51
  Speaker 9: their parents get divorced and their mom goes out of
• 13:54
  Speaker 9: the picture in a very abrupt scene. And, um, their
• 13:57
  Speaker 9: dad starts dating this new woman who, when she was
• 14:00
  Speaker 9: like 13, um, she was in this cult run by
• 14:04
  Speaker 9: her dad and they all kind of heavens gated themselves
• 14:07
  Speaker 9: except for her.
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 14:09
  Speaker 9: So she witnessed that.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: You know how that goes. We were planning that later
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: at the end.
• 14:12
  Speaker 12: Of this episode.
• 14:13
  Speaker 9: Which, I mean, we know I love cults, so I
• 14:14
  Speaker 9: was immediately like, yes, cults!
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: What more do you want?
• 14:19
  Speaker 9: So then the dad in the dumbest decision ever is like, hey, kids,
• 14:23
  Speaker 9: this woman that you hate and blame for me and
• 14:25
  Speaker 9: your mom's divorce, why don't you guys go into this
• 14:28
  Speaker 9: isolated cabin for like a week and get stuck in
• 14:31
  Speaker 9: a snowstorm? That way you'll bond. And I'm going to
• 14:34
  Speaker 9: go back to work, but I'll be back in a
• 14:36
  Speaker 9: few days. It's just like, you idiot. So then it
• 14:39
  Speaker 9: just kind of goes from there.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Are they attacked by a Russian man-bear hybrid?
• 14:43
  Speaker 12: Let's hope.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: Because I need that in everything.
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: In every movie now. I wish.
• 14:47
  Speaker 9: No. But, yeah, so it's very, like, sometimes you think
• 14:51
  Speaker 9: the kids are jerks, sometimes you think she's a jerk.
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: There's a lot of jerks in this movie.
• 14:55
  Speaker 9: It's complex and creepy and slow-burning. There's kind of, like,
• 15:00
  Speaker 9: a dollhouse theme going on, which is very Hereditary-esque.
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, those were the ones.
• 15:05
  Speaker 9: But I think it was filmed before Hereditary came out. Hmm.
• 15:09
  Speaker 9: So it wasn't copying it, because that's what I thought
• 15:11
  Speaker 9: at first. I was like, it's a dollhouse, but apparently
• 15:14
  Speaker 9: that was kind of their own original idea.
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: Hers were very impressive dollhouses.
• 15:18
  Speaker 9: Yeah, and this is like the kids, and it works
• 15:20
  Speaker 9: very well once you get to the whole climax. It's rough.
• 15:26
  Speaker 9: It's a rough one.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: Sweet.
• 15:27
  Speaker 9: But it was good. It was on Hulu, I think. Okay, cool.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: Nice.
• 15:31
  Speaker 9: That was pretty good.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: This was The Lodge?
• 15:33
  Speaker 9: The Lodge, yes. And the girlfriend is Riley... I don't
• 15:40
  Speaker 9: know how to say her last name, but she's Elvis' granddaughter.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: Oh, wow.
• 15:43
  Speaker 9: She does a really good job.
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: Interesting.
• 15:45
  Speaker 9: And the kid who plays Bill in It Chapter One
• 15:49
  Speaker 9: is the son. So all these kids from It are
• 15:51
  Speaker 9: just embracing the creepy movies.
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: It or Stranger Things, or sometimes both, those are where
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: our entire crop of children are coming from for every
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: feature from here on out.
• 16:01
  Speaker 9: He did a good job, too. It's pretty good.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: Not a horror movie on the surface, but I took
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: a day... to watch the entire Back to the Future trilogy.
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: Back to back to back.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: And if you've never done that, I highly recommend it
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: because you get this new sense of what Marty's been
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: going through because the whole thing only takes, it takes
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: like two weeks for Marty.
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: And most of that's in the third part because he's stuck.
• 16:28
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: So everything else is in the span of about a day, basically.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Well, part one takes a week.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Part two is about probably eight or nine hours.
• 16:36
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Part three is about a week. I don't remember the
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: exact time, but when it's all done with, you're like,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: this guy's life is ruined. He's never going to be
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: able to trust anything. He's going to second guess every
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: decision he ever makes.
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: He's got to have some questions about his girlfriend because
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: she looks totally different.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Totally different. Totally different.
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: Like a whole different actress showed up and played her.
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: I'd prefer having Elizabeth Shue hanging around.
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: Me anyway, truthfully, but.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think in one sitting in my own home.
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: But I've seen all of them so much that I'm like,
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: that's one of those I don't really revisit because I
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: almost know them beat for beat.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Well, I thought so too. And then it popped up
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: on Netflix and I was like, hell yes, I'll watch
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Back to the Future. And as soon as it was over,
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: it was like, would you like to watch part two?
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, yes, I would. I didn't plan this.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: I just, I had a full day at home alone
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: and that's always trouble.
• 17:37
  Speaker 12: Obvious.
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: But this kept you out of other types of trouble.
• 17:42
  Speaker 12: For a while.
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah. I mean, I still, that first one, like, I
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: know like super artsy people want to talk bad about
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: it because it's a mainstream movie, but I'm like, pacing
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: wise like structure wise that thing is perfect like it's
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: just so well orchestrated and then the fact that again
• 18:03
  Speaker 6: i'm a sucker for time travel movies anyway but the
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: weird little spot that two falls into is so weird
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: and again the fact that they got a studio to
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: make this movie because it's massively darker it loops back
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: into its own last movie like there's so many aspects
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: that It shouldn't have happened the way it did, but
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: they just were riding that last one. And I guess
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: nobody told them no.
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: So that second one is a crazy and I still
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: think kind of amazing movie. And then you just get
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: a Western to round things out. So it's all good. Yeah,
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: I love the whole trilogy.
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: But yeah, it's one I don't sit down to rewatch
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: because I feel like it's already in my head at
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: this point.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: That just reminded me. So I recently watched, I've never
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: seen Split or Glass. And so I was like, okay,
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: so I need to watch these movies now. And so
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: I watched Unbreakable first, just to get a little refresher. Um,
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: and then I watched split and I was like split. Okay,
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: this is pretty good.
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: And then I started watching glass.
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: I was like, what is this dumpster fire? Why did
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: you set me up for failure?
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: So you say that, but have you ever actually seen
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: a dumpster on fire?
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: It's called 2020.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: It was one of the best afternoons of my life.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Oh man.
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: There's a, I mean, it's, it's, Frustrating anyway, because they're
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: all such different, like, especially like Unbreakable, especially for that
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: time was like so different than even he was doing as.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: A director, but any other movie way ahead of the
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: superhero curve, like it was just like such a weird
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: different thing.
• 19:49
  Speaker 12: Splendid.
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: Is just like creepy and weird and kind of doing
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: its own totally different thing. And then he decided to
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: connect the universes and then you get glass, which big again,
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: maybe jumps into the most traditional way of dealing with
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: that story. And also like had potential.
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: I know I, Real reviewers will tell you not to
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: do this. Screw this. This is the way I do
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: all of them.
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: I'm like, if you've got potential to do a much better,
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: or if I come up with a better way to
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: do this story, that's your fault for not writing it
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: that way. There's a way to end that movie that
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: would have been awesome and would have made up for
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: any other shortcomings because it still has some issues throughout.
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: But I'm like, if you finish this the way you're
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: kind of leading to... It'll be worth everything we've invested
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: and I want a whole nother movie out of it.
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: And then they drop the ball and none.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: Of that happens. And I'm just like, what the fuck
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: are we watching this for?
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: Like, yeah, it like had a lot of potential there.
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: And especially dealing with all these really cool characters from
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: 20 some years of making movies, which was only two,
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: but still like it could have built it into.
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: This really cool thing. And it just kind of fumbles things.
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 21:00
  Speaker 10: Yep.
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: Way to take, Samuel L. and just, why would you
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: give him that role?
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: Do you think he's just going to carry your whole
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: ass movie?
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: I mean, he does with a lot of them, actually.
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: That's kind of his job now.
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: We're like, we don't really have a script so much,
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: but we're just casting you, and you're.
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: Going to round that out, right?
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: You're just going to say a lot of things and
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: throw some motherfuckers in there, and it's all.
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: Good, right?
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: I really like Split.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: I actually haven't seen any of it.
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: And I think he's... I've heard they're good. He's good
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: as that character in Unbreakable, too.
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: Because it's so minimal that you can see potential there,
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: but we don't.
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: Hit you over the head with it. Where this one
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: is just too much. Too over the top.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: Nick, my partner, came in while I was watching.
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: I guess it might have been Glass.
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: I don't remember.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: But.
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: Or maybe it doesn't matter.
• 21:56
  Speaker 9: It doesn't matter.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: But since then, every once in a while, he just
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: comes up from behind and just starts hugging me and
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: squeezing me really hard like he's going to break my body.
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: That's fun.
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: That's a fun thing. I mean, if we can all
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: do that, can he do that with me?
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: You need some contact? You need some hugs?
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: I mean, it's been a long time, and Nick's dreamy, so,
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: you know, I'm not going to argue with it.
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: I just want a bear hug. Maybe from a giant
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: bear man with the hats and shit.
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: Definitely a hug.
• 22:23
  Speaker 9: From a bear.
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: I lost her again.
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: The takeaway from those last two movies, but especially Split,
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: McAvoy is so damn good in this. He's just, again,
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: that is one of those that you give it to
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: the right actor, they can run with it. if you
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: cast that wrong, that movie is going to be a
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: train wreck. And like he, because even then, like it
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: could go wrong, but it ends up being like a
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: really creepy story anyway.
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: And then his performance is just like amazing. So yeah,
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: that's the reason to watch Split.
• 22:58
  Speaker 7: Truly.
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: And then again, just doesn't do, what comes together is
• 23:03
  Speaker 6: like stuff we've already seen from him.
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: So it's like, You're not really treading any new ground.
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: Samuel L. Jackson's running all over the place. It's a
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: weird mixture. And Bruce Willis just, like most of his
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: roles now, is like, do I have to do this?
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: That's half of his movies now. You can see it
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: on his face. He doesn't even pretend anymore. He's just like,
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: how much are you giving me?
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: Alright, fine.
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: I'll fucking show up.
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: He just seems so unenthused about most movies these days.
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: Which is a shame, because he can be a great actor,
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: but Not so much in a lot of things these days.
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I wasn't sure with Split.
• 23:41
  Speaker 11: I just thought it was going to be kind of
• 23:43
  Speaker 11: like a run-of-the-mill psychological thriller. And I don't really know
• 23:49
  Speaker 11: a lot else about what James McAvoy had been in
• 23:51
  Speaker 11: besides X-Men at that point. And so I was not
• 23:54
  Speaker 11: expecting that kind of performance.
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: I was very impressed.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: He's impressive.
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: And I've seen him in other stuff that he's good in,
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: but that's like, an extra level there.
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: He's pretty impressive.
• 24:07
  Speaker 9: Speaking of James McAvoy, I watched IT Chapter 2. I
• 24:13
  Speaker 9: was so disappointed.
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: So do we need to put together for our Stephen
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: King series? Do we want a 1 and 2 giant ongoing?
• 24:23
  Speaker 9: I guess we could. Oh, but then I have to
• 24:25
  Speaker 9: watch it again.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Think about that. I guess I haven't seen either of them.
• 24:31
  Speaker 9: I liked the first one with the kids.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: The problem is I want to watch the first one,
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: but I'm hesitant because I'll be like, well, now I've
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: got to see part two.
• 24:40
  Speaker 9: I know.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: And everybody's like, man, part two just sucks.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: And that's why I went and saw it when it
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: came out. And I was just like, well, I saw
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: the first one. And then I saw it and I went.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: There's moments that are effective, but it's like, if I'm
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: ever going to watch one of these again, I'm definitely
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: watching the first one.
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: So why do I need this?
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: There's a curse on that story. There's a curse on
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: it that it cannot... Once it gets past a certain point,
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: it's going to be amazing, and then you're going to
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: get to the point where it does the light, and
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: then it's.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: Going to suck.
• 25:09
  Speaker 9: Even in the book, really. Reading the end of the.
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: Book, I was like, oh my god. Just stop writing words,
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: Stephen King.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: I think I had like 400 pages left, and I
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: was like, when is.
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: This going to stop? Just be a spider and get
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: it over with.
• 25:25
  Speaker 9: And at that point, you're like, I've already read this forever.
• 25:28
  Speaker 9: You can't just stop.
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: This is why I didn't start the book.
• 25:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: I watched the miniseries. I'm fine. Overall, it's still a
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: good book.
• 25:35
  Speaker 9: But yeah, the ending left a lot to be desired.
• 25:39
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 25:39
  Speaker 9: At the end of the movie.
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, to bounce around to totally different types of things,
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: I also went back.
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: I knew of the movie. I'd watched it, or I
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: knew of it because I'd watched the sequel a million
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: years ago. So even the sequel was massively old by now.
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: I watched The Hustler. Oh, nice.
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: 1961, The Hustler, which the, as a, you know, growing up,
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: I knew when Color of Money came out, it was
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: somewhat of a sequel. Again, it's like many years later
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: and only follows one of the characters, but technically.
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: Still kind of a sequel to The Hustler. but I'd
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: never actually watched that one.
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: And I knew that was one of those that like,
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: I knew Jackie Gleason was in it and I've seen
• 26:23
  Speaker 6: him in very fit, especially I saw him in like
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: some of the comedies when he got older, but I
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: don't remember him as much other than.
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: The TV show.
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: So yeah, like I was like, this will be kind
• 26:32
  Speaker 6: of interesting to see him, you know, when he was younger,
• 26:34
  Speaker 6: do something else. And then, you know, when are you
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: not going to want to watch Paul Newman?
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: So was Jackie Gleason in the sting or at least
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: one of the sting movies?
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: I mean, it's Robert Redford and Paul Newman, so that's
• 26:48
  Speaker 6: kind of the main, but I don't know.
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: If he had a smaller role. I'm not going to
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: argue with you.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: No, they were definitely dreamy.
• 26:56
  Speaker 6: But yeah, so I was like, well, let's see how
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: this one goes.
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: It's really good. Like, as a story. Have you seen it?
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: Years ago. I mean, I'm talking like when I was
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: probably 15 or 16.
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: Here's the thing I wasn't expecting.
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: Horribly depressing like it really as as a story like
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: it's not like the the acting's great and the directing's
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: great and like everything else but like basically the the
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: entire centerpiece of this story and the characters involved is
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: you're a loser yeah everything about your life is kind
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: of a waste and why are you even here and
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: like it really like it sits with that most of
• 27:42
  Speaker 6: the movie like not just not just him because at
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: least his character is really like super talented so he
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: has this one skill and like if he finds the
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: right way to use it he can make money off
• 27:55
  Speaker 6: of it you know there's some sort of hope that
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: like he can have a future with it but then.
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: Um he meets i mean he meets this girl that
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: like she so has nothing to do.
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: With her life that there's a diner in like the
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: bus station that stays open all night and that's where
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: she goes because she has nothing else to do and
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: it's the only thing open this is the like levels
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: of the wonderful life that this girl has and like
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: they really like went out of their way to like
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: not gloss over again i think the scarier thing is
• 28:30
  Speaker 6: her story because she it's also piper laurie which i
• 28:34
  Speaker 6: you barely kind of recognize i know her like as
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: the older like twin peaks era piper laurie or or
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: even like um carrie but like yeah she's she's but
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: it was one of those it's not when she's super
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: super young they also lay into that too that she
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: is not like like most normal movies the guy would
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: be like 40 and they'd cast a 19 year old
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: she's easily like in her 30s and has she lives
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: in a crappy apartment Has nothing. Is kind of taking
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: like a class or something.
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: Just like has nothing to do with her life. And
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: that weighs on her so much. Like she's all these
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: failed relationships, all these plans of things she was going
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: to do and nothing's panned out.
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: And like so much of it revolves around how horrible
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: she feels like her life is and her place is.
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: And then he comes along and like is easily as
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: much of a screw up.
• 29:26
  Speaker 6: And like in the first half, just like kind of
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: gets the wind knocked out of him, like from his
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: like talent and then just settles in with her. And
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: like this middle part of the movie is just the
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: two of them wallowing. It's way more depressing than I planned.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: It's kind of like Rocky, only a lot darker.
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: More grim, yeah.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: Because with Rocky, when those two come together, you kind
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: of have hope for him.
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: And they improve each other's situation.
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: They're both kind of at the bottom, and together they
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: can build something and grow it.
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: They're taking each other down a notch.
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: What little hope they individually had is gone because they
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: just sort of drag each other back into the muck
• 30:06
  Speaker 6: once again.
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: I don't think I'm emotionally prepared to watch it.
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: I was like, I want to see a pool movie.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: This will be fun. Yeah, that's what I thought.
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: Yep, not what I was expecting.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: Because I had gone the other way, too. I saw
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: Color of Money and thought, oh, let's see what this
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: guy was up to before.
• 30:22
  Speaker 9: Oh, dear God.
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: Oh, Lord.
• 30:24
  Speaker 6: The other thing I didn't know about it, because I
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: have a handful of movies that I know have some
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: sort of weird tie-in to Louisville.
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: Third of this movie takes place in Louisville. Really?
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: And again, of all the other ones I hear about
• 30:38
  Speaker 6: over the years, now granted, they didn't shoot a damn
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: thing here.
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: It's all shot on a.
• 30:42
  Speaker 6: Set somewhere, probably in LA or New York or whatever,
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: but the story takes a turn where he's going to
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: tour and go make money, and he's got this rich
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: guy set up in this town, which happens to be Louisville,
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: and he comes here during the derby when all the
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: money's sitting here. So that they can go to this
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: guy's basement and do some sort of underhanded pool game
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: on the side.
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: And yeah, a good portion of the story.
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: sits right there in that spot so yeah i had
• 31:13
  Speaker 6: no idea don't remember that somehow.
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah sense that if you have like this depressing life
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: and you think you're gonna make it and go on
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: tour the tour's gonna go to louisville.
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: Somehow that's what i thought was weird like of all
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: the places like midway in he's like well we got
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: this uh plan for you and i'm like wait you're
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: going to.
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: So that tells you you've hit bottom when you come
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: to louisville there's nowhere.
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: To go but up if you survive. So there's the
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: joyful movie, Iowa. I'm glad I saw it. It's great. Again, acting, directing,
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: it's all really good.
• 31:50
  Speaker 6: Jackie Cleason is pretty damn cool when he was younger. I, again,
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: I hadn't seen him not doing slapsticky, so he's got
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: a lot of weight, no pun intended.
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: He wasn't really that big then, but like, he's definitely like,
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: he's the heavy character there and like, he's, he's good
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: at it. So.
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: Oh, the other one, I don't think I even knew
• 32:09
  Speaker 6: George C.
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: Scott was in it. He is like, I am never
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: not impressed by George C. Scott.
• 32:15
  Speaker 6: As much as you feel like you know he's only
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: got that one note and he's going to hit it
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: every time, you find some other movies that he's done
• 32:23
  Speaker 6: over the years and he is not just weird range,
• 32:27
  Speaker 6: but also just, again, if anybody's the more depressing character,
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: George C. Scott is just mean and vicious and like
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: takes advantage of anyone and everyone and it's again just
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: what a grim story and great performances all around though
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: so the hustler go watch.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: It we started watching the mentalist um older tv show
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: but i put that off for years because i thought
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: when it when they started running promos for it it
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: looked like a ripoff of psych Which I enjoyed a
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: lot at the time, but it's really not.
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: It's one of all of those. Like, there was this
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: series of shows.
• 33:08
  Speaker 6: It was almost like they had a plan drawn out of, like,
• 33:13
  Speaker 6: how to make a network TV show. And it was like,
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: you've got somebody that's a cop or a detective, and
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: then you throw in somebody else that does something that's
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: not really that, but they're going to use them, and
• 33:23
  Speaker 6: they're going to be kind of like partners.
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: Right. Because, I mean, I'm watching, and it's like, tell
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: me Psyche is any different in structure to.
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: What the hell is the one Nathan Fillion was on? Oh, Castle. Castle.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, same thing.
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: Totally different guy, totally different skill set, but they're doing
• 33:41
  Speaker 6: exactly the same show, essentially.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: Here's a person who's not a cop, but he's working
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: with the cops, but somehow he's better at his job
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: than the cops who've been trained how to be cops.
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: And there was a couple more that did that same
• 33:54
  Speaker 6: thing that played that little dynamic of like.
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: Because there's a new one that just started that's kind
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: of that same idea again.
• 34:03
  Speaker 6: So yeah, what was your, what little I'd seen, it
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: was one of those I never sought it out, but
• 34:09
  Speaker 6: it was like one of those nights that there wasn't
• 34:11
  Speaker 6: anything else on opposite it, so I would end up
• 34:13
  Speaker 6: with it on, and again, performance wise, like he's really
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: good at creating that character.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: He's good, but the supporting cast is what I, and
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: of course you put Robin Tunney in anything, and Tooney,
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: however you say your last name, and.
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: And that was sort of a weird little comeback, because
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: I hadn't seen her in anything until that show popped up.
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: And I'm like, oh, she's still out there. So I
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: think she got a nice run out of that, too.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: But yeah, the supporting cast is really what makes the show.
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: It is a weird dynamic, though. That just became the
• 34:44
  Speaker 6: go-to for most network cop shows. But we're not going
• 34:48
  Speaker 6: to do a traditional cop show, so we've got to
• 34:49
  Speaker 6: shove somebody else in there.
• 34:52
  Speaker 9: If we're on TV shows, I watch season two of
• 34:54
  Speaker 9: Castle Rock.
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: Oh, okay.
• 34:57
  Speaker 9: It was really, really, really, really, really, really good. Season
• 35:01
  Speaker 9: one I liked, but a lot of people didn't, and
• 35:03
  Speaker 9: I kind of get why. It was kind of slow
• 35:05
  Speaker 9: and hard to understand at some points, but this one
• 35:08
  Speaker 9: I finished in two days.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
• 35:10
  Speaker 9: Just pushed everything else away and stayed up until 1 a.m.
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: Because I was like, I can't stop. It's so good.
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: That one's the Tim Robbins one.
• 35:17
  Speaker 9: Tim Robbins is in it. Lizzie Kaplan plays young Annie Wilkes.
• 35:20
  Speaker 9: It's kind of like her, like, origin story of how she, oh, God,
• 35:24
  Speaker 9: and she's so good. And, like, her story is so, like,
• 35:27
  Speaker 9: heartbreaking and intense. And it's just like, God. I get the.
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: Feeling everything will turn out for that character.
• 35:34
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: Why'd you worry? In the last episode, I was like, uh-uh.
• 35:39
  Speaker 9: Just, like, sat there, like, okay. But then, so there's, like,
• 35:43
  Speaker 9: her subplot. And then the other one is Tim Robbins
• 35:48
  Speaker 9: and like he has these adopted kids. Two are like
• 35:51
  Speaker 9: his nephews and then two are these Ethiopian kids that
• 35:53
  Speaker 9: he ended up adopting like in the 90s. So the
• 35:57
  Speaker 9: Ethiopian son is like building this mall over in Jerusalem's
• 36:03
  Speaker 9: lot like the next town over and so they're like
• 36:05
  Speaker 9: doing the construction and then come to find all the
• 36:09
  Speaker 9: bodies underground and then that becomes like a whole thing
• 36:13
  Speaker 9: with the Undead people. It was really good. It's very creepy.
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: Interesting.
• 36:18
  Speaker 9: But Lizzie Kaplan's storyline was the best, definitely. She's just
• 36:23
  Speaker 9: so good.
• 36:25
  Speaker 6: So does it work as its own little sub-universe of
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: his people, or is it just you've latched onto a
• 36:32
  Speaker 6: couple of good characters so far?
• 36:34
  Speaker 9: I think she was the only one that was actually
• 36:38
  Speaker 9: from one of his characters.
• 36:41
  Speaker 6: But I mean, does it hold up in the bigger
• 36:44
  Speaker 6: like world that it's creating enough that you think you
• 36:47
  Speaker 6: see more seasons coming with potential?
• 36:49
  Speaker 9: Yes, definitely. I thought this one was much better than
• 36:53
  Speaker 9: the first one. There is like one tiny little mention
• 36:56
  Speaker 9: of the kid from the first season, like Bill Skarsgård' s character.
• 37:00
  Speaker 9: So that kind of ties in, but he's only there
• 37:02
  Speaker 9: for like two minutes and then.
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: Like goes away.
• 37:04
  Speaker 9: You kind of think it's going to be a bigger
• 37:06
  Speaker 9: thing and then it's not. So maybe they're building up
• 37:07
  Speaker 9: for a season three or something, but. Still pretty good.
• 37:11
  Speaker 9: I'd say even if you tried season one, didn't like it,
• 37:13
  Speaker 9: try season two.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: Does anybody else watch Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt?
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: Okay, good, because I'm usually the only person. Have you
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: seen the new movie?
• 37:23
  Speaker 8: No, I have not.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: The Choose Your Own Adventure movie.
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: I'm just like, all the things that I've seen that
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: are like these, you know, the Parks and Rec, like
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: one-off thing, and like Saturday Night.
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: Live is trying to do online.
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: I just hate all the gimmicky shit that people are
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: trying to do right now. So I was like, I
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: love Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. And the ending made me boohoo
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: like a little baby.
• 37:42
  Speaker 5: So I don't want to ruin it. But if you
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: tell me that it's good, then.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: I'll watch it. It's very good.
• 37:47
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: Because like I say, it's choose your own adventure. And
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: I've only had the chance to sit down and watch
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: it the one time. But I want to go through
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: and explore all the different things. The nice thing about it, though,
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: is it's set up that it is fun, it is enjoyable.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: And if you make a bad decision, once it goes
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: through that, it'll be like, you know what? You fucked
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: that up, but we're going to back this up for
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: you and let you go on. So from what I understand,
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: it's really hard to not have the happy ending of it.
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: And I like the way everything is now. Because it
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: leveled the plane.
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 38:26
  Speaker 6: And now the freaking Tonight Show has the same backward-ass
• 38:30
  Speaker 6: technology that we're using right now.
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: They're still on Zoom.
• 38:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so everybody's still got horrible quality. And so, yeah,
• 38:39
  Speaker 6: all your money's not going to save you now, is it?
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what I realized, I wasn't watching The Daily Show,
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: but I saw some kind of clip of something that
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: he was doing.
• 38:47
  Speaker 5: And I was like, you're just a bad YouTuber.
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: Wait, which one?
• 38:52
  Speaker 5: Um trevor noah the.
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: Daily show so i was just like the content that's
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: on tv it's just produced well it's not good some
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: youtubers doing a better job at entertaining me right now
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: it's a weird points around show.
• 39:06
  Speaker 6: Well it's a weird dynamic because you you're it's so
• 39:10
  Speaker 6: built around having that audience there and so that's what
• 39:12
  Speaker 6: yeah watching like what's now he refers to as a
• 39:16
  Speaker 6: late show And like, he's really good at being a host,
• 39:19
  Speaker 6: but it is such a weird dynamic because he's delivering
• 39:23
  Speaker 6: the same jokes. It's like, I guess the same writers
• 39:25
  Speaker 6: are still sending stuff over.
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: And it's weird when it just is dead silent.
• 39:30
  Speaker 6: And like, I don't want a cheesy laugh track, but
• 39:33
  Speaker 6: at the same time, like with no audience to play to,
• 39:36
  Speaker 6: it's like everything is like 10 times harder to even like,
• 39:40
  Speaker 6: because sometimes I'm like, hey, that was actually well written.
• 39:43
  Speaker 6: Like it still works, but it lands so weird when
• 39:47
  Speaker 6: nobody's there to do it.
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: I think Conan could do it.
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: I think Conan could do a good job, but you
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: have to have that kind of special improv talent to
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: make it entertaining without that feedback and the forced feedback
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: from the audience.
• 40:00
  Speaker 9: One that I think did it really well is John Oliver,
• 40:03
  Speaker 9: because he's just kind of in this white room, and
• 40:06
  Speaker 9: most of the episodes have been coronavirus, and so it
• 40:10
  Speaker 9: kind of adds to this eeriness that he'll just make
• 40:13
  Speaker 9: a joke, nothing happens, and then keep going, and you're
• 40:15
  Speaker 9: just kind of like, Oh, it's kind of like existential dreading.
• 40:19
  Speaker 9: But I think it kind of works for what he's
• 40:21
  Speaker 9: talking about.
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: I mean, I like when we because again, we're in
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: our own weird little show here, but we're watching other
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: people have to create stuff like that. The people that
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: just sort of lean into the I don't know, this
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: is what we got.
• 40:36
  Speaker 6: Again, I usually try to watch Colbert. I think he
• 40:39
  Speaker 6: is really good at doing his normal version. But him
• 40:42
  Speaker 6: hanging around his house because the only people there right
• 40:46
  Speaker 6: off camera.
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: Is the rest of his family.
• 40:48
  Speaker 6: So he's got like grown sons at least because they're
• 40:51
  Speaker 6: like running the camera for him. And then his wife
• 40:53
  Speaker 6: just comes in like a couple episodes out of the
• 40:55
  Speaker 6: week like just to do, again, like somebody to help
• 40:59
  Speaker 6: do a bit.
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: And it's like it's so funny watching them together because
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: you really like, the real world chemistry is there and
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: watching him going.
• 41:06
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah i gotta do this dumb show like it's still.
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: Like moments of like this seems real and then oh
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: yeah i'm.
• 41:13
  Speaker 6: Supposed to set up this next thing all right whatever
• 41:15
  Speaker 6: so it's weird watching people force themselves into show mode
• 41:20
  Speaker 6: from their house like it's very strange but you know
• 41:25
  Speaker 6: sometimes that's what you have to do yeah.
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: Well, if nothing else, I watched Haywire.
• 41:35
  Speaker 9: What's that?
• 41:37
  Speaker 6: This is one I'd heard about. And what pushed it
• 41:41
  Speaker 6: over the edge is.
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: Again, everyone in the free world loves The Mandalorian. And
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: I watched it and went, I know her. She's like
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: a legit, she'll kick people's ass.
• 41:52
  Speaker 6: It's Gina Carano is one of the kind of main
• 41:55
  Speaker 6: recurring characters on Mandalorian.
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: And I remembered, I was like, isn't she the one?
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: Is that the warrior chick from?
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: That's probably my favorite character on the show.
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: And she's awesome on there.
• 42:06
  Speaker 6: So I was like, I thought at some point they
• 42:09
  Speaker 6: were trying to line her up to be an action star.
• 42:12
  Speaker 6: So this was kind of, I think, the first movie
• 42:15
  Speaker 6: that they kind of.
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: Gave to her. And we're like, all right, we're going
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: to pull you out. The script is like the downfall.
• 42:21
  Speaker 6: It's so generic as a sort of, espionage backstabbing government
• 42:29
  Speaker 6: agents blah blah whatever like the plot itself is the
• 42:32
  Speaker 6: most generic thing ever but it's funny like that being
• 42:36
  Speaker 6: the first real acting i think she'd done it's already
• 42:39
  Speaker 6: there it's already this like charisma that you're just like
• 42:43
  Speaker 6: yeah that yeah like this girl is legit so when
• 42:46
  Speaker 6: she comes in and like there's moments that seem clunky
• 42:49
  Speaker 6: within the story But at any given moment, you're like, no,
• 42:53
  Speaker 6: she could kick that guy's ass. She is an MMA fighter.
• 42:57
  Speaker 6: She has spent the majority.
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: Of her upbringing just beating people's ass.
• 43:01
  Speaker 6: So when she comes on screen, it is such a
• 43:04
  Speaker 6: presence that you do not question. And I think that's
• 43:08
  Speaker 6: why it works so well in The Mandalorian. Yeah, she's
• 43:10
  Speaker 6: a soldier from day one. And she will kick ass
• 43:13
  Speaker 6: when need be. So that just has such.
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: A better screenplay to it. Yeah, this one... It's all
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: just for watching that presence, which is weird because if
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: I remember, this is a Soderbergh movie.
• 43:29
  Speaker 6: You know, he does his weird back and forth. One
• 43:31
  Speaker 6: super artsy and one just sort of mainstream Ocean's Eleven fun.
• 43:36
  Speaker 6: This was one of those that like Steven Soderbergh is
• 43:39
  Speaker 6: going to make an action movie with an MMA fighter.
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: Doesn't that seem like a weird combination?
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: A little bit.
• 43:47
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: And like, that's how it plays too. It's just like,
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: this is strange. And again, had like a legit cast.
• 43:56
  Speaker 6: Cause I think like there's a minor Channing Tatum, but
• 43:59
  Speaker 6: Ewan McGregor is kind of like one of the main
• 44:02
  Speaker 6: other characters in it and is a pretty solid performance.
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: But yeah, it's just such a basic generic plot. It's
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: just kind of whatever. But, Yep, just for her performance.
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the description on IMDb does not sound.
• 44:18
  Speaker 4: It's just generic.
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, it doesn't sound bad.
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not bad.
• 44:21
  Speaker 6: It's just a generic secret agent.
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: But it's like, oh, I feel like I've seen this before.
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: Government espionage plot. Yeah, it's super generic, but yep, present.
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: It's all present.
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: Ooh, Antonio Banderas.
• 44:32
  Speaker 12: That's a thing.
• 44:32
  Speaker 8: Look at that.
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: Michael Douglas. And Michael Douglas.
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: Bill Paxton.
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 44:36
  Speaker 6: It's like everybody in it's turning in decent performances, but
• 44:39
  Speaker 6: it just needs.
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: More on the screenplay, but... yeah wow gina she's pretty
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: awesome yeah i'm trying to.
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: Think i'm sure there's something i've watched oh i've finally
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: watched uh wreck it ralph which was cute yeah you.
• 44:54
  Speaker 13: Know nothing spectacular but it was fun for an hour
• 44:58
  Speaker 13: and a half and it's another one of those situations
• 45:01
  Speaker 13: that will probably never happen again it's one of those
• 45:05
  Speaker 13: like uh roger rabbit yeah.
• 45:08
  Speaker 6: The companies involved, whatever game you're playing, whatever strings you
• 45:13
  Speaker 6: pulled to put all of the, like, you know, Roger Rabbit, like,
• 45:16
  Speaker 6: Disney and Warner Brothers are together in the same movie. Like,
• 45:20
  Speaker 6: that's impossible, would have never happened. Somehow, some miracle happened.
• 45:25
  Speaker 6: But then we'll never get that again, probably. Unless Disney
• 45:28
  Speaker 6: just buys all of the properties, then they'll do whatever
• 45:30
  Speaker 6: they want. But same thing with, like, now the video
• 45:33
  Speaker 6: game world. Like, gamers, like, that's all such different things.
• 45:37
  Speaker 6: And they pulled from whatever they wanted and all put it.
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: In this one story.
• 45:41
  Speaker 6: And so, yeah, if you're a video game person, this
• 45:44
  Speaker 6: is kind of that same greatest hits of everything that's
• 45:48
  Speaker 6: ever happened in video games and a plot to go
• 45:51
  Speaker 6: on with it.
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: I did watch a kind of interesting documentary on Netflix
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: the other night called Have a Good Trip. And it's
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: all famous people talking about their experiences with, uh, psychedelic drugs.
• 46:05
  Speaker 4: Interesting.
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: It is kind of interesting.
• 46:08
  Speaker 7: I saw that.
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: And I was like, but my immediate thought was like,
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: of course it's like a bunch of rich people who
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: will never have consequences or never get arrested for doing drugs,
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: doing a documentary. Like you need to do mushrooms because
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: of this effects of psilocybin.
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: Like, I don't know.
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: I'm just, but a lot, but a lot of the
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: stories though were from when they were, you know, college
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: age and, uh, Anthony Bourdain's on there and just tells
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: a fucked up story about a stripper that dies and
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: then comes back to life on him. Yeah, his is
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: the one that's the most intense and even starts it
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: by saying, yeah, every time you do acid stuff happens
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: to you that never happens.
• 46:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that makes sense.
• 46:51
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 46:52
  Speaker 4: So this is like a plot for a whole next
• 46:53
  Speaker 4: movie when you just.
• 46:54
  Speaker 10: Start writing, right?
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: Pretty much.
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: Acid zombie strippers, I'd see that.
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: Ben Stiller is on there. A couple people that I
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: never would have expected, like Rosie Perez is on there
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: talking about dropping acid. It's worth watching. It's not great,
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: but it's worth watching at least once.
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: I guess we're rounding out our stuff we've watched. What's
• 47:22
  Speaker 4: our other thing?
• 47:23
  Speaker 6: Has anyone come to any conclusions about being stuck by
• 47:27
  Speaker 6: yourself that you didn't really know? Any truths you've uncovered
• 47:33
  Speaker 6: that you were not prepared for being stuck by yourself
• 47:35
  Speaker 6: for months on end?
• 47:37
  Speaker 9: Turns out I'm really content just being at home and
• 47:40
  Speaker 9: not having to pay anybody.
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: Well, that's the thing.
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: I never go anywhere.
• 47:44
  Speaker 6: See, I've said that every episode since we went on this.
• 47:47
  Speaker 6: Everybody's just like, hey, how's it going? I'm like, it's
• 47:49
  Speaker 6: not any different. You're like, Because I still had to
• 47:52
  Speaker 6: go to work. So I'm like, I still went to
• 47:53
  Speaker 6: work every day. I still don't interact with people if
• 47:56
  Speaker 6: I can help it.
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: And I put together the show. That's pretty much it.
• 47:59
  Speaker 4: Those are the three aspects of my life. So like, yeah,
• 48:03
  Speaker 4: nothing really changed. But.
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: I was expecting myself to have a much harder time
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: because I'm someone who like always feels like I got
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: to be productive. I got to go like go to
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: shows and like go do things and like always be
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: active and taking advantage of life. And so I was like,
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: oh my God, I'm going to be so miserable. And
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: I was for like a week and a half. And
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: then I was like, wait, this is a good thing.
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: This is a good thing that I have to actually
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: stop and chill and not feel guilty about chilling.
• 48:31
  Speaker 7: And so I have learned to relax more.
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: Without feeling like a horrible person.
• 48:35
  Speaker 5: That's a good thing.
• 48:36
  Speaker 4: Again, there's some upsides to that.
• 48:39
  Speaker 6: There's a lot of horrible things going on. Again, I
• 48:42
  Speaker 6: never want to make light of it in any sense
• 48:44
  Speaker 6: because people are losing loved ones. But I'm always just
• 48:48
  Speaker 6: every step of this little process just looking at where
• 48:52
  Speaker 6: we are in this weird little situation we're all in.
• 48:55
  Speaker 6: stuck in that nobody could have prepared it's funny that
• 48:59
  Speaker 6: even like the beginning of this year nobody could like
• 49:02
  Speaker 6: it happened so quick that nobody could have ever.
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: I i'll admit i'm guilty of when it before the
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: quarantining started happening i remember we'll be fine things are
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: going to be okay. And then after a while, I
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: was like, yeah, we're going to be okay. The economy
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: may take a hit that may take a couple years
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: to recover from. Blah, blah, blah. We'll be fine. And
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: then suddenly one day I was like, oh, I don't
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: know about this anymore.
• 49:29
  Speaker 4: I don't know if we're going to be fine.
• 49:32
  Speaker 6: It'll be interesting to see where everything goes from there.
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: Just because it's going to have... Because we haven't even
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: really re-entered. This week is kind of the first of
• 49:43
  Speaker 4: us sort of trying to get back out and get.
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: A foothold on life. It's almost like we're sticking our
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: toe in the water.
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so it's interesting to see where all of the
• 49:54
  Speaker 4: repercussions are going to come along. What all it's going
• 49:57
  Speaker 4: to factor into down.
• 49:59
  Speaker 6: The line that we don't even realize yet. Because there's
• 50:02
  Speaker 6: so many of those minor little things... In the past.
• 50:06
  Speaker 4: Even something like, what a weird.
• 50:08
  Speaker 6: Effect that 2008 recession had on... For the next decade,
• 50:14
  Speaker 6: people would still refer to that. Or the movies that
• 50:17
  Speaker 6: came out then reflected weird stuff from that. And that
• 50:20
  Speaker 6: was like a blip compared to the things that are
• 50:23
  Speaker 6: going on in the world right now. So, yeah, I
• 50:25
  Speaker 6: can only imagine the ripple effect that this will have
• 50:29
  Speaker 6: on everything.
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: I'm curious to see the virus movies and TV shows.
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 50:35
  Speaker 4: They're coming. That's what I said. Again, all the horrible
• 50:41
  Speaker 4: things aside, it's such a perfect setup for.
• 50:44
  Speaker 6: Think how many cheesy rom-coms you could do stuck in
• 50:48
  Speaker 6: a house together.
• 50:50
  Speaker 4: You could set up such a horribly cheesy setup. Or
• 50:54
  Speaker 4: how many sitcoms of people being stuck in a house together.
• 50:58
  Speaker 4: there's just so much potential for probably bad versions of it,
• 51:02
  Speaker 4: but you know, if you give it to the right writer,
• 51:04
  Speaker 4: maybe something good, but then we.
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: Have, the idea can be good or bad depending on
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: who works with it.
• 51:11
  Speaker 6: And then like of all the cheesy virus movies we've
• 51:14
  Speaker 6: already had, like now it's just going to be, actually
• 51:18
  Speaker 6: what's funny is cause I made a joke, like the
• 51:20
  Speaker 6: second one of our zoom episodes is, that like, did
• 51:24
  Speaker 6: somebody already crank out a movie since this started?
• 51:27
  Speaker 4: That did actually happen.
• 51:29
  Speaker 6: Like somebody finished one and got it like released onto
• 51:33
  Speaker 6: streaming within the span of this happening.
• 51:35
  Speaker 11: Wow.
• 51:36
  Speaker 4: That's frightening. Like that's the world we're living in already.
• 51:40
  Speaker 4: So yeah. I don't know if it's hopeful or not.
• 51:46
  Speaker 4: People are in ingenuity. Yeah.
• 51:49
  Speaker 6: Ingenuity and dedication to their craft and I don't know.
• 51:55
  Speaker 4: It's disturbing.
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 51:59
  Speaker 4: But here we are.
• 52:02
  Speaker 6: Any other words to pass on to people as they
• 52:05
  Speaker 6: move forward with their lives?
• 52:07
  Speaker 4: Before the next wave kills us all.
• 52:10
  Speaker 9: Wear your damn mask.
• 52:13
  Speaker 4: Stay away from each other.
• 52:15
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 52:15
  Speaker 4: I think most of those things are good all the time.
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 52:19
  Speaker 6: I do feel like every time I go in a
• 52:20
  Speaker 6: store now, I'm getting ready to pull.
• 52:21
  Speaker 4: A bank job.
• 52:22
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 52:23
  Speaker 6: Because I'm not driving with it. I do see a
• 52:26
  Speaker 6: lot of people in their car driving with their mask on.
• 52:28
  Speaker 4: And I'm like, who are you protecting yourself from? You're
• 52:32
  Speaker 4: the only one there.
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: Is anyone else getting dirty looks when you wear your
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: mask from people who aren't?
• 52:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, from like boomers that are like.
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: I see it all age groups, especially the older people
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: that I'm actively trying to protect.
• 52:49
  Speaker 5: Yes, they think that you're a snowflake for wearing your mask.
• 52:51
  Speaker 4: Oh my God.
• 52:53
  Speaker 6: At this point, it's just for the sake of showing
• 52:57
  Speaker 6: that you care about other people. Even if you don't
• 52:59
  Speaker 6: buy into it, just be like, look, I'm not going
• 53:01
  Speaker 6: out of my way to be a dick. So put
• 53:04
  Speaker 6: your stupid mask on. I don't care if you think
• 53:06
  Speaker 6: it's going to do anything. I question some of the
• 53:08
  Speaker 6: science behind it.
• 53:09
  Speaker 4: I'm like, it's not airborne yet. Yet. But that's the
• 53:13
  Speaker 4: next phase that's going to kill us all. Once it
• 53:15
  Speaker 4: goes airborne.
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: But I don't think it's more likely for me or
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: someone else to get it because I have a mask on.
• 53:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 53:21
  Speaker 7: So, you know.
• 53:22
  Speaker 6: It's not hurting anything. Like, it's only going to help
• 53:25
  Speaker 6: everyone in the grand scheme of things.
• 53:27
  Speaker 4: So shut up.
• 53:28
  Speaker 12: Put your mask on.
• 53:29
  Speaker 6: But, yeah, I think it's interesting how much there's a
• 53:32
  Speaker 6: weird little power play going on.
• 53:34
  Speaker 4: I'm not wearing a mask. People with their weird.
• 53:38
  Speaker 9: My freedoms.
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 53:40
  Speaker 6: Although I will say when I, cause for a while
• 53:42
  Speaker 6: I didn't have one. So I had to like order
• 53:44
  Speaker 6: one and it took forever for the overpriced bullshit.
• 53:47
  Speaker 4: That's the other thing I'm questioning.
• 53:48
  Speaker 6: I saw the news constantly running all these people that
• 53:52
  Speaker 6: were redesigning their business so they can instead make masks.
• 53:56
  Speaker 6: I never saw one of those damn masks. Like I
• 53:57
  Speaker 6: still don't have one. I didn't see people selling them.
• 54:00
  Speaker 6: I'm like, where are they going?
• 54:01
  Speaker 4: Like these people that are like, there's just loaded Etsy
• 54:04
  Speaker 4: pages somewhere out there. I don't know, but I never
• 54:06
  Speaker 4: saw any of those. So like I finally got one.
• 54:09
  Speaker 6: The first time I put it on, the lady at
• 54:12
  Speaker 6: the grocery stopped me because she thought I was taking
• 54:14
  Speaker 6: the thing.
• 54:15
  Speaker 4: She's like, are you going to pay for that? I'm like,
• 54:16
  Speaker 4: just because I'm wearing a mask doesn't mean I'm holding
• 54:18
  Speaker 4: the place up. So, again, very first time I wore it.
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: There's no hope.
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 54:29
  Speaker 4: I think we've covered our geek activities and the world
• 54:32
  Speaker 4: at large.
• 54:35
  Speaker 6: Thank you for joining us and for surviving and still
• 54:39
  Speaker 6: listening and going on with your lives as much as
• 54:42
  Speaker 6: we all can. We'll try to continue these episodes to
• 54:46
  Speaker 6: give you something to listen to as things rebuild. Before
• 54:51
  Speaker 6: we were saying the world's falling apart, let's hope now rebuild.
• 54:54
  Speaker 6: Unless the new spike kicks in.
• 54:56
  Speaker 4: But whatever. Rebuild! Otherwise, that about does it. We will
• 55:01
  Speaker 4: chat next time, same geek feed. Thanks for listening.
• 55:06
  Speaker 8: It's time for all good men to get together with
• 55:09
  Speaker 8: one another.
• 55:09
  Speaker 10: We've got to iron our problems and iron out our
• 55:13
  Speaker 10: quarrels and try.
• 55:14
  Speaker 8: To live as brothers.
• 55:16
  Speaker 10: Try to find peace within without stepping on one another.
• 55:21
  Speaker 8: And do respect the women of the world. Remember you
• 55:25
  Speaker 8: all had mothers. We gotta make this land a better
• 55:29
  Speaker 8: land than the.
• 55:30
  Speaker 7: World in which we live.
• 55:31
  Speaker 10: And we gotta help each man be a better man
• 55:35
  Speaker 10: with the kindness that we give.
• 55:38
  Speaker 7: I know we can make it.
• 55:40
  Speaker 8: I know that we can.
• 55:41
  Speaker 7: I know darn well we can work it out.
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: Yes, we can.
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: I know we can, can.
• 55:45
  Speaker 7: Yes, we can, can. Why can't we if we want to?
• 55:48
  Speaker 8: Yes, we can, can.
• 55:49
  Speaker 10: I know we can make it work.
• 55:52
  Speaker 8: I know we can make it if we try. Yes,
• 55:55
  Speaker 8: we can.
• 55:55
  Speaker 7: I know we can, can.
• 55:56
  Speaker 3: Yes, we can.
• 55:57
  Speaker 8: We got somebody.
• 55:58
  Speaker 7: Yes, we can.
• 55:59
  Speaker 8: I know we can, can. And we gotta take care.
• 56:11
