  Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, Welcome to the Larger Ner Drunk Collider podcast,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: the podcast that's all about the geeky things happening in
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: the world around us and how very excited we are
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: about them. I'm Ariel Castin, and with me, as always,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: is the delightful Jonathan Strickland.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm going down to the Grundy County Auction.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know the rest of the words, even though
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: right before we hit record you spouted so many of them.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Me like, I've heard the song. I can't.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's podcast seption because I was reminded of an
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: old My Brother, My Brother and Me episode where two
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: thirds of the brothers were really getting into singing the
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Grundy County Auction and the other one third, the third
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: that edited the show at the time, was rousig about
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: how much of a pain in the butt it was
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: to have. You know, because there's because they record like
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: we do, we record over the Internet. Sometimes there are
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: little bits of lag or latency or whatever that obviously
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: impacts the way things sound before you get into the edit,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: and if you're lucky, you can edit it so that
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: those things are never noticeable to the audience. That doesn't
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: work out all the time or even most of the time,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: but it can happen, and Griffin is just there going like,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: y'all are mate, this is this is hell? You have
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: put me into hell?
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Uh, you know what it's It's funny because they
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: also on saw Bones, which is a sister show to
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: My Brother, My brother and Me, they also had kind
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: of podcast perception where they were on or watched another
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: podcast and then they brought it into their pod. It
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: must be the season.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well they also did that on that episode of
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: My Bim Bam. I know you didn't get a chance
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: the recent one because they were talking about the Kelsey
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Brothers and they're having a Taylor Swift onto announce her album.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: That's what it is. So the thing is, I did
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: listen to the latest episode of My Big Ma'am. I
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: had it on in the car, and I had it
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: on at home, but I was doing other things. So
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: while it was playing at my ears and my ears
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: were open, none of it got into my brain.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Right, You heard it, but you didn't listen to it. Yes, yeah,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: I listen.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Story of my life.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: There are times when I'm walking tibble I have to
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: have something playing. Occasionally I will go outside without earbuds
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: or headphones on, very very rarely when I'm walking tibbled
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: because he usually wants to go on a long walk.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: And I think, as I'm getting older, I'm getting that
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: sensory issues which I never really had when I was younger.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: I think the pandemic did a large part of this too,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: So I feel like compelled to have something playing in
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: my ears to drown out just the ambient noise around
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: me when I'm on my walk. So sometimes that's the
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: same thing with me. I'll notice that I've been walking
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: my dog for like five minutes, and I have no
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: idea what anyone's talking about at this point because I
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: haven't really been listening. But yeah, they were going on
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: and on about how they were not aware that a
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: podcast hosted by brothers could land something as big as
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Taylor Swift's next album announcement, and then they got real
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: salty about it.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's interesting you say that, like the pandemic
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: has given you sensory issues. I was chatting, this is
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: completely a side tangent, and you can decide if you
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: want to keep it in or not. I was talking
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: to my therapist the other day about how like I
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: also have. And part of this is social media, where
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: everybody's like, you might have adhd IF right, Yeah, it
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: kind of it's like googling your symptoms. But she did
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: say that things like trauma, of which you know, the
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: pandemic certainly was traumatic for many many people and kind
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: of rewire your brain to have those neurospicy tendencies because
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: it's a way of coping and surviving and adapting.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I am under constant reflection that I need
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: to go and start talking to a therapist just to
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: be able to manage my anxiety and get a better
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: understanding of what triggers it and how best to navigate
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: that into all that sort of stuff. But and we've
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: talked about this before, I'm also of the generation where
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: the concept of therapy was thought of as something you
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: did because you were a failure and that and that
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: to go seek therapy is to admit that you're a failure,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: which is not true. It is not the right way
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: to look at things, but it's so ingrained in me
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: that even rationally I know it to be not true.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: I feel that bearinger to actually seeking out help.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: And it's hard because you want to find somebody who
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: has similar enough ideals to you that they're going to
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: understand where you're coming from, but not necessarily just be
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: an echo chamber, right if you're actually trying to get
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: help with things and improve. For me, part of the
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: reason I did therapy was because I had I've had
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: a couple acting coaches who have recommended it as just
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: a place to like get a better understanding and grasp
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: and access to your emotions, you know, based on past experiences,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: because you spend your entire life being told especially well,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: not especially, but it feels like oftentimes, especially if you're
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: a woman, to not have emotions, to not be emotional right, right,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: and like in a workplace, you have to like tamp
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: it down.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Right. If you are emotional, you are unreasonable and irrational.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Like the big one being that men are allowed to
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: get angry and that's like that's like showing assertiveness and
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: you know, like you're taking initiative. But if a woman
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: is angry, she's irrational and like a hearpyt Like it's
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: again one of those social concepts, misogynistic social concepts that
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: have just been like codified.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and so it's it's just trying to work. It's
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: trying to work past that, right, because like, I'm very great,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I'm very lucky that my parents have always been supportive.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: They've never told me, don't be an actor, don't get
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: into entertainment. They've always supported me in my dreams, and
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: they've always been very understanding and kind to me through
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: my life. But you know, work, you have to put
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: on a face at work, and like you get into
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: these habits, and so I started it for that, but
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: it is very helpful because I do have anxiety, and
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I think I've had it my entire life. Oh yeah,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a bleeding heart, and my neural pathways
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: are really really apparently very strong in certain directions and
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: it takes a lot of work to rewire those. So
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: even if you do go get therapy, it's not going
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: to be like, oh yeah, that's it, because I have
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: the same issue. I'm like, logically, I know this is
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: a thing, but emotionally, I'm not getting there. And it's
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: very frustrating because I know where I want to be
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: and I know what is correct, and I know this
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: isn't a harmful situation or whatever, but like just getting
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: your body to accept that it takes. It's hard. It's
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: a lot of work, but it's worth it. Hey, really
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: deep episode.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Of yeah yeah, yeah, no, I think I think that's
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: always good though, right, Like it's it's good to give
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: folks a glimpse. Let everyone know that. You know, like
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: the folks you listen to, they have their own challenges
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: and struggles and it's okay. And you know, we don't
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: we don't ever want to fall into the trap, like
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: that whole social media trap of presenting ourselves as being
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: like like like without a care and having phenomenal glamorous
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: lives when you know, I spent a good portion of
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: this morning walking behind a dog and picking up his poop,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: so like, it's not all glamour.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: It's it's not all glamor. You know, I do have
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: a very fortunate life, but it is not all glamour.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: But you got to find the things that are good
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: and happy and lucky.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Well that's that's a great way to segue into our
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: question for this week.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: I totally did it on purpose.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: So I've shared this with Ariel ahead of time. But
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: we're not going to be recording an episode next week
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: because we're busy, you know, we're busy. I mentioned this
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: in the little solo episode I did last week, but
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Ariel's got some obligations at dragon Con, and then following that,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: I've got a vacation coming up, so two weeks are
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: going to go by without an episode. We apologize for that.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: But because dragon Con is such a big event in
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: the geek sphere, particularly here in the Southeast, specifically here
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: in Atlanta, and Ariel and I both have a long
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: history with dragon Con, my question is, what is a
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: great memory you have from dragon Con. Doesn't have to
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: be the best, but just one that you think is
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: particularly it's nice to think back on.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: So there is one moment that just brought me such
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: joy and it feels like a bragging moment, but it's
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: not really. So I used to work dragon Con. I've
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: had a whole bunch of really cool experiences through working
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: dragon Con. Some of them don't hold up as well
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: as others because there are like really positive experiences with
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: a guest who just acted very kindly. Some of those
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: guests don't act very kindly anymore. But once I stopped
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: working dragon Con, I started performing with Artsy at dragon
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Con again, and one of the years shortly after I
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: stopped working, I went to Dragon Con for the Artsy Performance,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: and it turned out that our panel, I think it
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: was right before a panel that had Hal Lublin and
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Mark Gagliardi on it. It was either right before or
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: right after their panel. Those are two voice actors who
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: I love from The Thrilling Adventure Hour. They also do
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: like film stuff and cartoon their voice actors. I love them.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: They're fantastic. They bring me so much joy when I
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: listen to them do their work. But they were in
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: the room and I was playing a monkey who had
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: been unfrozen from cryogenic sleep, basically that loses their temper
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: and goes crazy, and they were busting a gut. Now
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: it's possible they weren't busting a gut at me, but
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: it sure seemed like it because the rest of the
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: room was also laughing and having that opportunity to entertain
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: somebody who has brought me so much entertainment to kind
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: of like pay it back one you know, it was affirming, like,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I made these people I respect, but
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: too just like I was able to give back some
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: enjoyment to somebody. So that will always be a highlight
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: of my many many years at Dragon Con. That was
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: also the year that, like normally when I go, unless
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Jonathan's there, I don't hang out with many people. I
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: just kind of wander aimlessly. But that year I ran
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: into so many friends who all like brought me in
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: and I got to hang out with them. A lot
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: of times I'll see friends and they're off doing their
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: own thing, or I have friends who are there who
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: I loved yearly but have like their own other groups
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: that I'm not a part of doing their own thing
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: that I don't like want interjecting into. So that year
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: was just a really good year. What about you?
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Nice for me? I mean, I have a lot of
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: good memories from dragon Con. Like I've taken many many
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: years off. I haven't been to a dragon Con since
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: since the pandemic, so it's been many years since i've
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: blast gone. But I was at the very first one
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: because my dad was the toastmaster. My dad's a science
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: fiction author and has been a guest. I you mentioned
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: lots of conven in the Southeast, and so my experience
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: has been a little odd because for a long time
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: I was a guest due to my dad. Then for
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: a while I was a performer with the Atlanta Radio
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Theater Company and the Mighty Rassalon Art Players or RAP
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: and then and then like getting into podcasting, I became
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: a guest again, but this time on my own merit
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: being a podcaster, a professional podcaster. So but the memory
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: I have specifically is from Rap from two thousand and
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: four because that's when we performed a show that I
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: wrote and directed called The Return of the King and I,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: which obviously was a parody of both The Return of
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: the King and of musicals like The King and I,
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: And it was just fun. It was fun to have
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: something that I wrote and directed be performed in front
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: of a very appreciative and kind audience. Like the audience
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: is a dragon. Con tend to be like there already invested.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: They tend to be cheerleaders for the things that you're
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: working on. They want you to do well, and that's
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: a great audience to have. They're engaged, their reactive. So
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: it was a really fun time, despite the fact that
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: that was a year when a massive hurricane was moving
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: into Florida on that and we were performing on Monday,
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: the last day of the con, so we were concerned
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: we wouldn't have any audience at all. Because everyone was
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: gonna have to get out early in order to try
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: and beat the weather to get home wherever they might be,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: you know, coming from if they were going to fly
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: out or whatever. They didn't know if the flights were
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: going to be better later in the day, that kind
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: of thing. But we still had a really big crowd,
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: like it pretty much filled up the room, and they
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: were really appreciative. So that was a lot of fun. No, no,
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: I was just gonna say, like, it was also fun
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: writing song parodies of some of my favorite songs for
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: musicals and making them all about elves and dwarfs and
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: orcs and stuff.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it was really cool for me, who had
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: like vaguely worked with you at the Renaissance Festival that
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: to then see you do artsy and get to be
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: a part of that as well. You know, we wouldn't
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: be great friends if it weren't for all of that,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: so I'm very grateful. I also have two other really
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: good CON memories that your CON memory reminded me of,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: and one is when we did the two person science fiction.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Writer show Creation is a Circle.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Creation Is a Circle, because that was such a fun
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: show to do and it was just well it was
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: a three person show, but that was really cool.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Primarily it was me and you and Trudy was sort
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: of voiceover narrator type. Yeah.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so that was really amazing. I'm glad I've gotten
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: to perform with you all the times I've gotten to
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: perform with you, but that was really amazing. And then
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: the year that you brought me in to help you
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: present an award at the podcast in the podcast panel.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was fun. Yeah, so many great people. I
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: want to say that. Oh, Chris Hardwick was there, I think,
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: and he was there incognito because his his date was
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: either presenting or receiving an award. And I thought that
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: was kind of cool just seeing Chris Hardwick there because
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh, I've seen you on the TV. Yeah,
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: that was that was fun. So Dragon Con lots of
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: great memories, and there are tons of great memories I
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: have of just interacting with other just people at the con,
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: like not performing, or being on a panel or or
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: going to a panel, just like the interactions you have
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: with other attendees, they can be a lot of fun.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: One last one before before we transition, because it's just
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: such a perfect stupid memory where I was at the Marriott,
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: and dragon Con takes place across like five different hotels
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: in downtown Atlanta, and then Mary kind of becomes by
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: default this common area, particularly for cosplayers, Like that's like
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: where the cosplayers congregate throughout the convention. And there was
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: a guy who was dressed up as Iron Man and
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: he had like the pseudo armor that included the face
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: plate that could that could slide up like it had
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: a mechanical apparatus that he could hit a switch and
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: it would do it on its own. Super cool. And
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: a guy dressed up as Deadpool. Actually a group of
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: people dressed up as Deadpool came up right behind him.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: So there's like maybe six or seven Deadpools standing behind
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: this guy in armor who has like limited mobility because
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: of the armor suit, and they just start saying Tony, Tony, Hey, Tony, Tony, Tony,
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: and like the guy's like taking pictures with people, and
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: he's just like, hang on a second, hang on secde.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: He doesn't know who's saying it. Finally he turns around
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: and goes, ah, you guys, And I thought this this
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: is a comic accurate moment.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Yes, I you know, dragon Con has gotten so big
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: that it is stressful, especially if you're not into crowds.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, which is the main reason why I don't
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: go anymore.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And like you have to plan, Like you know,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: you can set your schedule to do something every panel
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: slot because usually there's like thirty minutes between panels. But
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: if you're doing anything bigger, you've got to like budget
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: extra time to get in mine and wait and hope
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: you get in and stuff like that. It's still a
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: great time. I mean, it's a great time if you
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: don't do panels because there are so many people like that.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: You know, there are a few bad actors at any place,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: and I've run into a couple of dragon combat. For
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: the most part, everybody's super kind. Everybody's supportive because you're
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: all there for the common joy of geekdom and and
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: you know, fellowships, so it can be overall a very
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: a very positive thing. And I love stuff like that.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: I just love people so excited to do silly things.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and that those moments are the ones that I
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: choose to remember. There are a few that occasionally slip
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: into my head where most of the time it's where
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: I witnessed something not good happening, like I didn't have
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: a whole lot of those experiences directly impact me personally,
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: but I have been present when things have happened where
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: I'm like, that was awful, and I feel badly for
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: the person that that happened too. But fortunately are those
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: are in the minority. It still does happen, and it's unfortunate.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's gonna happen whenever you get any big
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: group of people. Some of the things that happened weren't
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: even caused by another person, but just through the fact
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: that you have a lot of very warm bodies stuffed
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: into a room. I remember a day when a ceiling
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: tile collapsed in on a panel because the condensation from
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: an overworked air conditioner had been dripping onto the ceiling
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: tile for three days straight, and the ceiling toil finally
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: gave way and dumped ceiling tile and water directly on
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: a fan who was sitting there in the panel. And
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: I was doing the panel, so I got front row
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: seat to see that, and it was awful. But that
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: was a case where it was no one's real fault.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: It was the fact that we're in Georgia, it's the
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: end of summer. It's hot as get out outside, and
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: so the air conditioner has to work super hard to
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: try and keep a room full of costumed yahoos comfortable.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and sometimes it's impossible to stay cool at
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Dragon Con.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yes, it is very true. Well, let us
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: segue from that and talk about stuff we've watched since
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: our last recording. Now, for you, Ariel, that's two weeks,
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: so surely you've seen a lot of stuff.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: No, let's see here. So last week I was out
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: mainly because I went to up to upstate Michigan to
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: visit my grandma and my family, which is a lovely
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: opportunity to see my family. We did what we did,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: introduced my mom and my dad and my aunt to
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: murder Bot, So that was fun. But other than that,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: I've just been trying to catch up. So it's been
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: I've watched some drop out. I watched the season finale
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: of Game Changer, which was a doozy. The new season
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: of Gastronauts just dropped, and that's a lot of fun.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: That's where three really good chefs are given really ridiculous challenges,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: like Brendan Lee Mulligan wants. His challenge in the first
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: season was make the heaviest food because to him, nutrition
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: balanced out with weight and heft. This season, the first episode,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Katie Maravich was one of the panelists in the first episode,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: and her challenge was to make the blandest food aka
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: the whitest food, which is pretty funny. Yikes, but they
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: made great food. There's always one chef that at least
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: at least that I'm like, I have to try their
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: food someday. So that was good. I've been watching a
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: lot of Task Master because it's just something I can
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: put on. I guess there's more than I thought about.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: But I also finished season four of Love, Death and Robots.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, for me, the only thing I really think
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: that Merritt's discussion is I did watch episode one of
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: season two of Peacemaker, so I watched it. It is okay,
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: It's very good. It's very adult. In that one first
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: episode on season two, you have instances of violence, lots
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: of foul language, drug use, and who pus news.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: That's good to know because I think season one was
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: also very adult, but I don't know if that was
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: all of that in one episode.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I'll also say like, so there's been some some
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: questioning about how does this how does this intersect with
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: the DC Cinematic universe that's now being established by Superman
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: and other properties. They get to that in the opening
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: of the first episode, like they do not waste time
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: about introducing the concept of portals, And honestly, it taps
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: into something from season one that just didn't occur to
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: me because there's so much that happens in season one
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: that I didn't even really think of this one thing
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: and like, oh, well, of course that makes sense. So yeah,
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: I was impressed by that. I'm looking forward to seeing
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: where this goes. The episode ends in a pretty jaw
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: dropping way, so I'm invested. But I'm telling you it
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: is not for kids. This thing is like mature is
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: I mean mature in the sense of mature material. It
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: is not at all mature in tone.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I was kind of hoping, based on
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: the trailer that it would pull back on some of
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: that from the first season. Also from where like I
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: know Peacemaker, the character of Peacemaker started to where he
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: ended in season one. I was kind of hoping that
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: they could write a little bit more on the story
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: and less on that other stuff.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: Well, it's it's essentially that he's he's struggling because he
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: was hopeful that after the events of the first season,
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: people would start to view him as being heroic, but
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: that has not yet happened. Andy, he is discouraged that
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: his life hasn't really changed other than all the bad
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: stuff that happened in season one, right, like that's still
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: a thing. So he's it's kind of like him falling
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: off the wagon, like he's seeking he's seeking comfort in
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: the form of illicit substances. And let's just call it
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: a naked party.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Gotcha. Good to know that I should have something else
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: to keep my attention during the naked party.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and that takes up a good chunk.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Oh gosh, oh lord, Okay, maybe I'll just read the
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: synopsis of the first episode.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: It gave it gave me. I don't know how much
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: of The Boys you watched, but it gave me kind
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: of like, oh, yeah, this is kind of like that
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: one episode of The Boys.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: I watched that. So I've watched the first two seasons.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: There was an episode like that, but it was briefer,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: and I think the first season has started off with that.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: I did not watch the season three though, with the
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: really bad dot.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: So well, I will say I think it's great. I
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: do think it's like it's excessive to the point where
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: So I was watching it this morning before work in
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: my in my office, my home office, not my office office.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: I was watching it and I was sitting there thinking, Gosh,
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: if my wife walks in at this moment right here,
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to explain that I'm not watching an
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: adult movie. I'm watching Peacemaker.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm gonna. I'm gonna. So there was
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: a little bit of nudity in the first season of Peacemaker,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: but outside of the first episode, it wasn't a whole lot.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: I I find that a little disappointing.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Well you might if you're a fan of full frontal
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: of both genders. Get ready, because there's gonna be plenty
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: of it.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, for the warning.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: That's that's what I watched. Now it's time to move
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: on to talk about our shows for thirty seconds or less,
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: and I think or our news items, and I think
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: I'm first. Is that correct? Okay? Here we go. This week,
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: we found out that Kristin Wigg, whom I know best
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: from her years on Saturday Night Live, will be playing
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: a character in the upcoming he Man movie. And you
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: might be thinking, wait, isn't that movie in post production,
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: And yes it is. Wig is actually providing the voice
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: for a character called Roboto, which in the original toy
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: line and cartoon was a robot with a transparent torso
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: so you can see all the gears moving. I'm still
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: processing this information.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Well, I guess you're not as advanced as Roboto, then processing. Okay, Highlander,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: We've got some Highlander remake cast announcements. We've got one actually,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: and it's that Karen Gillen will be playing the highlanders
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: mortal wife. Heather is a Highlander being played by Henry Capell.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: So you know, I like her work. I like her
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: as Nebula it guards to the Galaxy, and I like
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: her Namungie, and I like her Doctor Who, So I'm
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: looking forward to it.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: Brian Bertino wrote and directed his first film, a horror
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: film titled Vicious that stars Dakota Fanning, and originally this
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: movie was supposed to come out this month in theaters,
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: but last year the studio moved the debut to February
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: twenty eighth, twenty twenty five. It didn't come out then
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: the studio actually took the film off the calendar entirely
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: in an effort to try and find a better release window,
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: but that unfortunately never happened. So now the movie will
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: be coming to aaramount plus on October tenth and not
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: get a theatrical release at all, which is a pretty
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: tough break.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Interesting. Apple TV has announced that they are upping their
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: monthly feet It's going from nine ninety nine to twelve
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: ninety nine. To some people that's not much, and to
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: some people that's a whole lot, So just be aware.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well they better make three dollars more per month
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: of severance, is all I'm saying. The Mission Impossible account
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: on x declared that quote the mission was compromised and quote,
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: and that they decided to release everything. So the new
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: Mission Impossible movie became available in full on YouTube. But
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: if you go to that link, you'll discover that the
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: script is in fact on YouTube. It's just been encoded
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: into Morse code. I checked it out. There is a
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: lot of cursing in that movie, because all I could
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: hear were beeps.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Very funny and also kind of cool. Well, Vicious may
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: not be getting a theatrical release, but guiermel de Toro's
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: to watch me stumble through that name every time. His
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: new movie, his new retelling of Frankenstein, will be getting
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: a theatrical release after all. I guess they aren't waiting
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: to see how lining the Witch and the Wardrobe will do,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: or it's not even that how the Chronicles of Narnia
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: movie that Gretiger Worg's working on will turn out. But
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: if you want to watch Frankenstein in theaters, you can
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: do so October seventeenth. If you want to wait till Netflix,
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: you'll have to wait till November seven.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: Finally, the Once the Naked Gun got a reboot, I
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: figure it was just a matter of time for other
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: screwball comedies to follow suit. So now we can expect
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: a reboot of the scary movie franchise. The Wayans Brothers
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: have written a new script, Michael Tibbas is going to direct,
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: and both Anna Faris and Regina Hall will return to
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: uppear as their characters in the movie. If I had
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: to guess, I'd say there's gotta be a weapons reference
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: in that when it finally comes out. We'll see when
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: it comes out next year.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, here's the thing, though, I thought I never
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: I just assumed that Scary movie was still making movies,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: like they never stopped.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I honestly, I stopped paying attention after the second one.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: I think I may have seen the third one, or
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: at least bits of the third one, but I don't remember.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: I remember the first one was raunchier than I would prefer. First, Like,
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: I like a screwball comedy, but I don't need it
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: to be a sex comedy, right like like to me,
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: those are two different things.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, like the first episode of Peacemaker.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: I did, but that's not a screwball comedy. That's that's
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: a superhero saying it's not screwball. It's not screwball comedy.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Now, I'm just kidding. I'm just being silly.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: I gotta watch Naked Gun or Airplane or something like
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: that anyway. Uh. And I remember that Scary Movie too
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: had moments in it that I thought were really funny.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: They're incredibly offensive, but I also thought they were funny. Uh.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: And then I kind of fell off. And I want
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: to say they did like maybe as many as six
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: scary movies, but I didn't pay attention after the second one,
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: so I was kind of like you a reel. I
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: was like a reboot. Did they stop or I just thought,
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: like every couple of years we got one, Yeah, because.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: Also we had like Date Movie and things like.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: That epic movie. And yeah, I joked once upon a time,
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: this was years and years ago, that they should stop
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: trying to call these things like Date Movie to be
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: a parody of all the teenage romance comedy films out there,
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: that kind of thing. First of all, parodying a comedy
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: is stupid because it's already a comedy. You're supposed to
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: parody something that takes itself very seriously. Anyway, I said
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: they should just start making it generic parody movie and
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: then put the year and then just release a new
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: one every year that just has references to movies that
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: came out, you know, previously, in a window that is
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: sliding year to year, and just do that because a
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: lot of those movies didn't have jokes in them. They
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: were just like references, kind of like a really bad
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: episode of Family Guy.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: So you want them to make annual pop encyclopedia in
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: a movie format, might.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: As well, because that's essentially all those movies ended up being.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: It's like, again, like I tried watching I think it
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: was epic movie. I tried watching it. I think that
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: was the one that had Alison Hannigan in it, and
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: I love Alison Hannigan. So I tried watching it, and
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: I'm like, this is unwatchable. That's how bad this movie is.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: And normally I try and avoid saying that a film
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: is bad, and I just say like, I didn't enjoy it.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: I feel confident in saying that movie was bad.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: I did not watch it. I've not made it through
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: any of those movies. I've probably seen a full one,
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: but never like straight through, if that makes sense.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: Sure, Yeah, yeah, yeah, Well like they none of them,
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: in my opinion, reached the level of quality that you
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: would get from like an Airplane, even an Airplane two,
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: or the Naked Gun movie, or even something like Top
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: Secret or hot Shots hot Shots. By the time you
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: get the hot Shots, the quality has already dipped pretty low,
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: but it still had bits of brilliance in it. Yeah.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, let's let's talk about stuff that's not
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: actually a fit for our show, because I think that
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: might be our longest segment for this episode.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, sorry that we're leaving you on a shorter geeky
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: week for for uh before our tiny hiatus.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: Well yeah, but that's that's kind of like the industry
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: in general tends to go on vacation August through September.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: My auditions have been slow, but that's the industry is
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: slower than people expected. But also that's also normal, so
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: like it's hard to tell.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: Same in the publishing industry. It's like, I think it's
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: because a lot of entertainment is based out of New York,
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: and New York is just miserable in August, so everyone
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: just wants to not be there.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: I know several people who just are like, nope, I'm
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: out until school starts. Okay. So the first thing that
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: we have that doesn't fit is a movie called Swiped,
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: and like this one could tangentially fit. It's about make
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: it's about the making of Tender and Bumble. But you
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: know that's tech.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so's it's tech related. It's it's really following
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: the story of Whitney Wolf heard, a real woman who
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: was one of the co founders of Tender. She ultimately
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: would sue Tender for sexual harassment. Uh, and then a
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: bit later, I think in the movie it feels like
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: she leaves Tender specifically to go and found Bumble, a
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: rival internet like dating app, but that's not actually how
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: it all happened. She left and then she had to
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: be convinced a bit later to kind of get back
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: into working on an app in the dating scene, but
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: she eventually did. She would become the youngest female billionaire
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: by doing that, so like it worked. I don't know
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: how realistic or accurate this film is going to be.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: It looks super slick, yeah, and it definitely looks like
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: it's documenting the excess of tech bros and startup culture.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: Comes out September ninth. What did you think? Did you
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: think did this trailer appeal to you at all? Or
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: is it one of those where you're just like, eh, okay.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: It looks well done. And I like Lily James because
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: she's the main character.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: Not correct, yep.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: I think she's a great actress, so I know that
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: it will be acted well. I've never used Bumble or Tinder.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: I got out of the dating game before most of
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: the current generation dating apps were really our last generation
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: dating apps were a thing. I mean there was online
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: dating at that point. I just never did it. But
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: the story doesn't interest me. It does look like it's
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: well done. It was more interesting than I anticipated when
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: I clicked on the link, but the story doesn't interest me.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: That's fair. I got married in the last century, so
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: it was the twentieth century when I got married, not
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: the twenty first century. So I was not like there
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: were no dating apps, Like there were no apps because
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: they were no smartphones, so like this was a world.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: Even when I had to write about it, it was like, Okay,
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: I'm writing about this clearly as an outsider because my
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: wife really discouraged me from dating after we got married,
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: so I really never got a chance to use them,
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: and that's just me being silly. But yeah, so I
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: never same sort of thing, Like I don't have any
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: personal attachment to Tender or Bumble because I never used
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: them and never made a profile for them. But I
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: think it looks like it's an interesting story. I think
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: it's probably going to fall into the same traps. There's
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: a lot of biopic type stuff, which is that they're
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: going to for the purposes of telling a story, they're
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: going to have to simplify things and fudge a bit
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: on details. That doesn't necessarily matter if the story itself
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: is really interesting, and I think this potentially has that,
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: but yeah, it's not. I don't think this is one
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: I'm going to make time to go see. If I
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: catch it, it'll be because it's streaming.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The next thing we're going to talk about is
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: a movie coming out called The Ballad of a Small Player, which,
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: if you read the synopsis for this movie doesn't feel fantastical.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: It's about a guy who's kind of hiding out and
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: gambling and losing. Like he's in a lot of debt
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: and he's hiding out is given a second chance by
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: some I can't even really explain it in a way
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: that I find super interesting, But the trailer is so colorful.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: It feels like if Anderson and Sofia Coppola decided to make.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: A noir said in China in Casinos in China. Yeah. Yeah.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: So the it's based off a novel, and the story
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: is that there's this guy who is posing as an
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: English lord who is just gambling in China. It turns
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: out he's not an English lord. That's a lie, and
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: that I think he's I think he's got like a
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: like a massive guilt complex, and so he's actually seeking
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: out losing, Like it's not that he necessarily wants to lose,
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: but that he's almost compelled to gamble until he loses,
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: Like it's almost like it's a punishment for himself. Some
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: of the synopsies mentioned things like hauntings and ghosts, but
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know if that's just supposed to be metaphorical,
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: Like it's not that he's literally being haunted, but that
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: he's haunted by his past. Right, I don't know. It's
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: hard for me to say. The trailer does not give
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: any indication of like supernatural stuff at all, so I
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: don't know. It comes to theaters on October fifteenth, and
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: it comes to Netflix October twenty ninth, so this is
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: another one of those that has, you know, a very
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: limited release and then goes straight to streaming. Colin Ferrell
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: is playing the main character, and he looks like he's
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: acting as socks off, so it looks like it looks
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: well made.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: It looks well made. I like watching it. I'm interested
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: until this. Swinton plays a private investigator, so I will
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: probably watch this one. If you had just told me
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: about the movie, I would be like.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, But the trailer does look really compelling, so I agree. Like,
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: if I had just heard the log line of this,
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: I'd probably be like, oh, it's another drama, But this
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: looks really like the filmmaking looks like it's really energetic
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: and not in a way that I find jarring. Like
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: sometimes when I say energetic filmmaking, I mean shaky cam.
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: It's not that.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it looks interesting to me. We also had
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: a trailer for is it a show?
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: It's a six part like, it's a six part series.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: So yeah, called Riot Women.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I loved this trailer. It's a story about five
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: middle aged women who are all slightly unhappy for different reasons,
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: Like they each have their own reasons for why they're
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: kind of disenchanted, and they kind of find each other
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: to create a rock slash punk rock band. I think
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: initially they do it so that they can enter a
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: talent competition, but then they realize they actually like being
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: in a band together, and so they name their band
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: Riot Women instead of Riot Girl, which is fantastic for
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: people of my age, where the whole Riot Girl movement
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: is something that I remember, you know, really well. This
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: is fantastic. Also, one of the actresses in it is
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: Tamson Gregg and I always think of yeah, and I
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: always think of her as Fran from Black Books, and
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: I always love her performances. So this comes out on
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: BBC in October, and yeah, I really dug this trailer.
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: What did you think?
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: I also liked it? I don't. In my head canon,
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: it's like the Dairy Girls.
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: Grew up now, Yeah, I think also that wasn't there
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: another BBC It was like a I want to say,
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: there was a BBC series where it was like a
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: group of young women from a Muslim community who had
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: created a punk rock band, and I was I started
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: watching that series and I really liked it. I fell
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: off not because of the series but because of life events,
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: but I really enjoyed that too. So I'm I'm a
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: sucker for punk rock. So yeah, they already had me
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: just from the music genre that they picked. But then
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: like I look at the story and I'm like, oh,
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: this looks great.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it looks really good. I'm very much
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: excited to watch it. Something I'm less excited to watch
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: is a movie called Runt. And there's nothing wrong with
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: it if it's a story about a little a little
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: runty dog who gets rescued and does great things. Alla
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: Charlotte's Web or Babe Pig in the City, or you
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: know something like that.
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: You name two pig movies.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: But it's a bubby I is there. A Beethoven doesn't
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: feel as mad cap as Beethoven, Petty long Stockings esque,
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: like it harkens back to a simpler time of happy
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: adventure movie. I just don't like animal movies.
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: This one, the animal is not gonna be put into danger,
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: so you should be able to watch it.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: I still don't like animals, but it's fine, you're.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: Gonna you're gonna you're gonna really love one of the
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: horror Hutch movies that I'll be talking about later.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: I didn't watch that one.
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh So. The basic premise here is that there's
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: this family in Australia. They're a farmer family, and they're
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: on hard times, like there's been a drought. They are
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: in debt, and meanwhile their daughter loves to try and
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: fix things. She says that brings her happiness when she
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: tries to fix things. And she encounters this little dog
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: and adopts it, and then they discover that there's this competition,
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: this dog training competition. So she wants to enter it,
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: and I think it takes place in England, so it's
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: on the other side of the world, and she's entering
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: her mutt dog runt into this prestigious trained dog competition
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: and the implication is that by winning, they'll get enough
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: money to get out from under the problems that they
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: are in. So it looks very cute and father is
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: played by Ji Courtney aka Captain Boomerang from the Suicide Squad.
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: So this movie actually came out last year in Australia.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure when it's coming out here. It's one
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: of those where like the trailer for American theaters just
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: just popped up this week, but I don't know when
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: the actual release date is.
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but if you're looking for something cute and happy
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: and wholesome, keep an eye out. Which is a juxtaposition
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: from the Last not Fit Thing that We've Got, which
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: is a series series.
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's another limited series. Yeah. So Black Rabbit follows
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: two brothers played by Jude Laws, who's like the responsible
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: brother who owns like a nightclub in New York City
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: and Jason Bateman plays the screw up brother who is
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: deep in debt. Another gambling debt type thing where he's
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: got a debt from a loan shark who wants to
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: call in that debt has pulled in Jude Law's character
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: as a result, because Bateman turns to Law for help,
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: and apparently Jude Law is not smart enough to recognize
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: that this is probably a bad thing for him, I
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: mean it is family. So he agrees, and then some
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: dramatic shenanigans ensue. I say dramatic because this is not
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: it's not framed like a comedy. It's framed like a
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: thriller drama type thing. And this comes out September eighteenth.
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: It's on Netflix.
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it looks it looks fine. Well, the story of
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: Black Rabbit seems like kind of a darker one, So
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: let's go even a little bit darker and venture into
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: John Boy's horror Hutch. I watched two of the trailers
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: this week.
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: By the way, Ah, I'm guessing it was Keeper and
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: Beast of Warror.
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: Yes, because there is one that he said definitely don't
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: watch it, So I definitely did not watch it.
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: Because we've talked about your animal thing already, all right,
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: So Keeper a really interesting trailer. It follows a couple.
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: The couple's name, there's Liz and there's Malcolm, and the
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: trailer has each of them deliver the same monologue, So
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: for the first half of the trailer you get Liz's
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: perspective and the second half is Malcolm's, but it's the
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: same speech. It begins with, why does it always have
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: to end? Is there any way to keep love alive?
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: So the characters then question if they even really know
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: their partner, and the trailer has lots of creepy images
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: suggesting that there's either supernatural or psychological horror elements coming
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: to play. It's hard to say because it's not a
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: very straightforward trailer. It's really conceptual and a little bit surreal.
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: It's difficult to classify. I find it really intriguing. It's
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: directed by Ozgood Perkins, and Osgood Perkins has directed some
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: of some movies that I think are truly phenomenal, like
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: The Black Coat's Daughter. If you if you like creepy
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: movies and you haven't seen The Black Coat's Daughter, see it.
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: Don't read anything about it, just find The Black Coat's
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: Daughter and watch it. It is slow, so I'm gonna
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: warn you that right up front. It is It is
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: a slowly paced movie, but I think it's brilliant. He
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: also directed The Monkey, which I have yet to see,
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: but that's still on my list. But this movie comes
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: out in November fourteenth, and I will definitely be trying
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: to see this in theaters.
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: Do you want to know what my impression of it was?
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: Sure?
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: One, I have no idea who's the villain or where
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: the villain is. It feels like they're set up for
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: one of the couples to be It felt like if
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: they did misery in the style of the last five years.
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: Okay, I yeah, except that, like, I don't know if
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: misery is.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: The right the right Like at the very beginning, when
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: Liz was standing over Malcolm starting the monologue, it felt.
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: That way, gotcha, Yeah, But then you get the monologue
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: from Malcolm's perspective and it's the exact same it's the
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: exact same words.
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: Definitely an interesting concept.
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And again I don't know if that is going
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: to like it. That could be completely separate from whatever's
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: in the movie, right, Like that monologue may not appear
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: in any way, shape or form in the actual film itself.
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's just there to give you a feel like
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: a feeling, which I'm totally cool with too. Like, if
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: it appears the movie, that's great. If it doesn't, I
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: think that's great too. I'm sold. Next up is the
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: trailer that Ariel did not watch and is the horror
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: movie equivalent of Runt is a movie called good Boy,
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: and good Boy has a super cute dog as the
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: protagonist of the movie, but it is a horror movie.
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: It is a supernatural, haunted house horror film from the
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: perspective of a dog. And the dog's name is Indy.
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: And that's, by the way, that was the name of
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: my very first dog, was Indy. In fact, my dog's
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: my first dog's name was Indiana Bones, but he just
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: called him Indy. Uh. And then that was before we
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: found out that Indiana Jones was named after the dog,
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: Like this was before Indiana Jones. Uh. And you know
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: the whatever the grail one was called, I can't remember now.
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: But anyone who has had a dog has probably had
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: the experience where a dog just stares at like a corner.
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: Timblet will stare at a corner of the ceiling in
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: our house and we joke that it's him looking at ghosts. Well,
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: in this movie. The premise is that the dog is
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: able to see ghosts that humans can't perceive, and it's
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: a story about the dog and the dog's devotion to
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: his owner and his desire to protect his owner from
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: a threat that his owner cannot see. It's just seventy
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: two minutes long, so it's a short horror movie. It
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: debuted it south by Southwest this year. It gets a
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: release on October third. I will definitely have to see
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: this movie, but I have a feeling that I'm going
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: to be by myself because I can't think of any
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: of my friends, with the possible exception of Crispy, who
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: would go and see this movie because they'd be scared
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: for the dog.
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I can't. The dog is very cute, though,
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: from which First of all, I looked up Good Boy
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: just so I could see some screenshots of it, but
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: it brought me to a twenty twenty two movie that's
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: a psychological horror about a man who keeps another man
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: in a dog body. It was really disturbing looking, so
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: I regret.
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: That as you should. Indie, by the way, is the
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: filmmaker's dog, also named Indie, which makes sense because that
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: way this dog would you know behave properly? Apparently, like
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: all the reviews out of south By Southwest were raving
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: about how expressive this dog was and that the dog
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: did a phenomenal job, and I'm like, well, great, he
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: even won an award.
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: Nice. I was curious because I've talked about it on
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: the show My Mom's acquaintances with some of the people
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: who have dogs who perform in movies and commercials and
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: TV shows that we've seen. Yeah, so I was curious
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: where the dog came from.
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: Me. Well, yeah, it looks super interesting, like it's a
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: new take on horror movies. It kind of makes me
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: think of like how the Blair Witch Projects sort of
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: ushered it. Not that it was the first found footage movie,
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: but I think it was the first, like mainstream successful
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: found footage movie. Like it makes me wonder if we're
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: going to get a bunch of like copycats or copy dogs.
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: Well, so I have a question about the next trailer.
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: Okay, Beasts of War or Beast of War?
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: Beast of War? Is this the same story that Quinn
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: tells in Jaws.
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: It's so funny because I actually wrote in my notes
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: that this feels it feels like it is the telling
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: of the USS Indianapolis. It is not, or at least
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: not literally, because it's about an Australian ship in World
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: War Two, so it's the Australian Navy that's involved in this,
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: not US, because of the USS Indianapolis was a US ship.
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: It's true story. They were delivering the bomb to you know,
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: one of the atomic bombs that dropped on Japan, and
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: then subsequently they were attacked and the ship sank. This movie,
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: the trailer makes it look like it is that specific incident,
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: but clearly it's not because it's an Australian ship. But
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: it's much the same, like it's a ship in World
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: War Two gets attacked by the enemy, sinks. Sailors are
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: left floating in the ocean. They're adrift. The currents are
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: pulling them further away, so it makes it harder for
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: rescue missions to find them, and in the meantime they're
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: being stalked and attacked by at least one shark. In
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: the Indianapolis story, it's it's hundreds of sharks, but in
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: this it looks like it's one really hungry graat white
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: but there are there's imagery in this trailer where it
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: looks like, wow, this is that specific moment that Quin
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: talks about in his speech about what happened to him
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: and his fellow sailors when they were when their ship
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: was sunk. So I, even though it's not literally a
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: retelling of the Indianapolis, it feels like it in this trailer.
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: For sure. For sure, I will skip it.
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: This one appear only came out already, like apparently it
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: came out August eighth, but I put it in here
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: because the trailer I found came out this week, so
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: it may be that it had just a very limited release.
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: I will see this because Jaws is my favorite film
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: of all time and that speech is a big part
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: of what makes it one of my favorite films. In speech,
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: it is a great speech. Yeah, and apparently it was.
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: It was largely written by Slash improvised by Shaw himself,
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: so that's incredible. But but yeah, I will definitely make
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: an effort to try and see this. But it does
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: look like it is an animal attack horror story version
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: of an almost identical scenario as was you know, mentioned
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: in Jaws.
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: Side note, I feel like YouTube is often punking me because,
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: like I tried to put in a trailer this week
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: for something you talked about last week, but they were like,
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: trailer came out eight hours ago. And there's so many
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: things where they're like, oh, here's the teaser for this
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: thing that you got the teaser for two months ago,
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: and here's the actual trailer when you just got the
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: actual trailer last week, and I don't know what's happening.
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: Part part of the problem is that there are so
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: many channels out there that are just reposting trailers, like
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: because you know, people search for movie trailers a lot,
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: We do it every single week, and there are channels
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: out there that only exist to repost someone else's stuff.
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: They're not making anything original, uh, and they're they're getting clicks.
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: It works like they get they get money for it
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: as long as their stuff isn't you know, taken down
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: and if it's marketing. A lot of times studios won't
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: take down stuff because like the wider the reach, the
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: more tickets they sell. So but yeah, you were talking
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: about Dead of Winter. I think, right, the Emma Thompson thriller. Yeah, uh,
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: that it looks good. I mean I think that looks
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: like a really intense movie. And I've never seen Emma
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: Thompson act in a movie quite like that. There was
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: one she did with Kenneth Brannaw way back in the day,
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: but that was like a melodramatic thriller that is goes
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: off the rails. Yeah, yeah, all right, well that's the
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: horror hutch. So let's go into our lineup. Oh there
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: was one other thing that I think you added, or
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: maybe I did, where it was the trailer for the
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: video game adaptation of Halloween. Yeah, so Games Colm was
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: this week. I originally had a thing in here about
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: news that came out of Games Colm, but frankly, there
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: was so much that we just there's no way for
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: us to go into it. There's just way too many
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: projects were announced. But one of them was an adaptation
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: of Halloween that looks like it's a a like a
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: asynchronous competitive game where you have a one kind of
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: like Dead by Daylight, where you have people playing victim
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: slash survivors and then another person playing the killer in
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: this case Michael Myers. It looked okay. I actually didn't
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: really like the character models very much. They looked they
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: looked like they were about five years out of date
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: to me. But when the music started I loved it.
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: Is is it a big studio that's doing the Halloween
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: game or a little one?
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: I honestly don't know. I like it's it's hard to
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: think that it would be teeny tiny simply because you know,
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: you have to pay for that license, right, Like, yeah,
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: you can't just you can't just make a Halloween games because.
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: I know, sometimes smaller, smaller studios need to release a
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: game while it's in production, and that between the time
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: when they first start marketing it and trying to get
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: buy in and the time that it actually comes out,
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: those those character models can change.
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I also I don't have a problem with games
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: that are purposefully low fi, right like games that are
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: evoking an earlier era in games. But it has to
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: feel like that was a deliberate design decision and not
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: something that was just done because of you know, lack
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: of resources or time or whatever it may be. And
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: this just felt like it wasn't a deliberate choice. Yeah.
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, fun fact the video game, so the actual play
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: that I talked about that I'm doing, the Shadow City
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: Mysteries is a companion piece to a video game, and
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: that so that was a games con That's cool.
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: Well, let's let's talk about some stuff that's in our lineup.
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: And first up, we got a trailer for a new
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: animated comedy series called Haunted Hotel.
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's about a family that moves into a hotel
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: where the clientele are like ghosts, and it looks pretty raunchy.
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: Well it's from the same people who made Rick and Morty.
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, I haven't watched Rick and Morty, so.
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: Well you should probably at least be aware of the
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: reputation of fricking Marty.
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: I've seem like you have an episode.
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, So it's like a single mother of two
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: who moves, who takes over this hotel that happens to
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: be haunted, and apparently her brother, who is now a ghost,
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: is one of the ghosts at this hotel. That's the
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: one who's voiced by what's his face? Who I think
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: from Saturday Night Live? Oh, what's his name? I can't remember.
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: Not Bill Hayter anyway.
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: I was about to say Bill Hater.
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: Dated It's not Bill Hayter, but anyway.
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: It's It looks Will Forte.
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: Will Forte. Yes, it looks very silly. The log line
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: actually is a single mother of two struggles to run
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: a haunted hotel with the help of her estranged brother,
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: who is now one of the ghosts haunting the hotel
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: and thinks the other ghosts have some pretty good ideas.
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: It comes out September nineteenth.
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: I So here's the I love the voice cast. It's
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: got Skyler Gizondo, who was Jimmy Olsen in Superman, Well forte,
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Simpson who has played many great characters, but I
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: really liked him in psych And Eliza Coop who who
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: was a character in Future Man and also the Resident,
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: and I like her acting a lot as well. When
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: I first saw this trailer, I'm like, did they just
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: make the TV show Ghosts into a cartoon?
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah? No, I had a very similar reaction. I was like, Wow,
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: this feels very similar to the basic concept behind Ghosts.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: Ghosts is not quite as Rauchie.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: I would say, no, not at all. It's not even close.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: No. But then the other thing it reminded the other thing.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: The second thought I had was a little while ago
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: we had talked about I think it was a TV
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: show that Max is coming out with called The Parenting
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: that had Lisa Kudrou and Edie Falco and Brian Cox.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: I think it's a live action Yeah.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I was like, did they just decide that
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: they needed to turn this into a into a cartoon,
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: because that's a family that moves into a house and
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: discovers that it's inhabited by a four hundred year old boltigeist.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So a lot of similar ideas, I guess are
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: circulating and all getting produced. But this, I mean, I'll
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: probably check out an episode just to see if it
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: appeals to me. Like the trailer honestly didn't do a
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: whole lot. I didn't laugh at all in this trailer.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: I thought I could see where the humor was. It
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: just didn't. It didn't provoke laughter from me. So but
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: I will probably give the episode a shot just to,
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: you know, see if if I'm vibing with the characters
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: and the writing and all that. Because like I I've
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: watched Rick and Morty, although I'm not caught up on it,
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: but I have watched it.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: My new group watch now that we're done with Love,
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: Death and Robots might be Venture Brothers.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: That's a fun series.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: I don't think I ever finished it.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: I did not finish it either. There's at least a
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: season that I have never seen. And then they did
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: the movie that kind of wrapped things up, and I
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: haven't seen that either. But next up, we have a trailer.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: This actually came out of Games Calm, a trailer for
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: Fallout season two. And did you watch the Fallout series?
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I love it.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: I really enjoyed it too. So Fallout Season two it
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: is clearly going to take place in large part in
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: New Vegas, which was the setting for Fallout New Vegas.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: That was the entry that was actually made by a
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: different game studio, but you know, fully licensed in everything,
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: but New Vegas is one of those games. Like if
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: you ask fans of the Fallout franchise which game is
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: their favorite, not everybody, but a lot of people will
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: say New Vegas. And this is not a retelling of
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: the story that plays out in New Vegas, but it
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: does look like it's going to touch on a lot
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: of the things that were featured in that game, like
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: like the lore and characters and stuff. Based upon what
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: we see, I'm thinking that it has to happen before
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: the events of Fallout New Vegas for reasons I'm not
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: gonna go into.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've not I've not played the Fallout games past
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: the maybe it was the first one of the second
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: one where I couldn't get out of the vault and
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: I was getting attacked by roaches. We all know that
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: I've harped on about that forever. So I won't know
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: if it follows the the like how well it connects
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: to the game, and that's probably going to be a
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: good thing, honestly, Like I won't get some of the
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: Easter eggs, but I also won't be like, oh man,
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: I wish they had done this. I think the second
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: season looks really good. When Fall one happened, I was like,
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: why can't more Amazon shows be like this? The writing's good,
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: the production's good, the acting's good, like all around solid story.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: Season two looks that way as well. I'm super excited
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: from the clips that they showed of Maximus because his
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: character arc was one that I thought was super interesting
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: and I look forward to seeing where he goes next.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: And honestly, like, I feel like this is the most
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: subdued performance of Walton Goggins I've seen in a while.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: Like it's very grounded, which is a weird thing to
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: say when he's playing a radioactive apocalypse school.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I agree with that. I thought that the
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: bits I saw were all like, they all fell in
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 2: line with what I loved in the first season. You know. Also,
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: I love the fact that you get a little glad
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: death claw, which are monsters that are really hard to take.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: Down, and those areaches.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: What's that? No death claw? No? Right, no, the death claw.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: The death claw looks like a bourog. The death claw
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: looks Yeah, death claws are these huge like reptilian things
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: that are really hard to take down. In the Fallout games,
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: the roaches also for Aerial are very hard to take
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: down because she doesn't use her VAT system properly. Uh, but.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I might be better at it now. To be fair,
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: I played that before. I was playing many video games
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: like Skyrim was the other thing that I played, And
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: you don't ever have to shoot anything with an arrow.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: So yeah, well, well that makes things way easier because
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: it's it's where it essentially it stops time and you
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: can choose the body part you want to shoot, and
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 2: well it makes I don't know, you've got some real
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: bad random number generation or something, but yeah, this looks
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: it looks really fun. There's actually a moment in the
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: trailer where I'm like is this kind of like a
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: sly nod to the VATS system. It's not actually VATS,
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 2: but it like is kind of evoking that I already
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: knew I was gonna be watching this because I love
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: the first season so much. It comes out December seventeenth.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 2: I can't wait.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: I can't either. It's almost happy birthday to me.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a little late for your birthday.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: Apparently is my catchphrase for anything coming out in December.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: We also got a trailer for Seca Row No Defeat.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: It looks really pretty as an anime. But Jonathan, I'm
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: gonna be real honest, I don't know much about this story.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: So this is based off a video game. This is
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: another one that the trailer came out during Games Calm,
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: So Securo is a brutally hard game. It's kind of
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 2: similar to things like Dark Souls, like that style where
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: you have to learn and enemy's patterns to be able
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: to do things like dodge or perry and know when
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: to attack and when not to attack. So this is
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: essentially a retelling of the story that is in that
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: first in that well, there's only one second Row game
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: so far, but in the second Row game, I made
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: a joke in my notes it said, I imagine it's
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: not going to require you to rewatch episodes dozens of
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: times before you can get good enough to move on
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: to the next episode, which means already the show's not
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 2: accurate to the game. Because that's the big joke, is
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: that you would fight a boss like two dozen times
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 2: just to try and learn how to avoid the boss's
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: attacks so that you had a chance of taking the
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: boss down, because again, brutally hard. This is a series
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: that's coming to crunchy roll next year, so in twenty
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: twenty six. I agree. The animation looks great. I think
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: if you are big into Sekero and you want to
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: see kind of a straightforward narrative take on that story,
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: this is the one to go with.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: For sure. If you want to watch more Colin Farrell,
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: you're in luck. We've got another trailer with him.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's not he's not a gambler in China
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: in this one.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: I mean he might be a gambler. I don't know.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, he's not in China.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: Might go to China.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: That's also true. Okay, what is it?
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: It's a big, bold, beautiful journey and it's Colin Farrell
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: and Margot Roby kind of meet up I get. I
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: don't know if it's on a first date or anyhow.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, some somehow they get to talking in a diner
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 2: and we don't know if that's their first encounter or
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: how it got started, but that's the what we see
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: in the trade.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then as they travel together, they come across
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: these doors that open up to like moments from their
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: past that they can then share with each other.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's like they're reliving like key memories and
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: the other person gets to be there and witness it.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: There's a great one from Colin's school days where there's
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: just a fantastic joke about Margo Robbie's age that made
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: me laugh so hard when I watch this trailer.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's Colin ferrell is walking through. They go
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: into his the doors that lead to his high school,
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: which he sasn't about because high school, and one of
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: the teachers is interacting with him, and I guess because
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: it's from his past, the teacher views him as his
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: past self. So a teenager, he's like, how old am I?
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: I'm like thirteen. Margot Robby asked how old am I?
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: And he's like forty something. I don't think Margot Roby's
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: forty in real life.
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: No, but she She's like, I will kill you. It's
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 2: very funny. But I wrote, they learn about themselves and
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 2: each other along the way? Will they learn to open
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: up and trust maybe even love? I don't know, I'm
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: being flippant, but this actually looks like it's a pretty
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 2: interesting movie. However, I did write to Ariel when I
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 2: discovered this trailer. I sent her the trailer and I said,
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 2: if it weren't for the fact that there is a
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: voiceover at the end that reads out the name of
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 2: the movie and then says coming to theaters on September nineteenth,
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: I thought I would have thought it was a really
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: strong trailer. But I hated the voiceover so much. It
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 2: felt so cheesy to me.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Like I guess if they I wonder if
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: they had had like a previous concept of giving the
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: trailer like a in a world kind of a thing. Yeah,
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: did you ever praped it?
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 2: Did you ever see those those recut trailers where people
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: would take a it wasn't even a trailer. They would
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 2: they would take a movie and cut it to make
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: it a trailer. But in a totally different style of movie.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 2: So there's one that's called Shining that is reimagining the
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: Shining as if it's a like father son dramedy. Yeah,
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: and like they put in like like Peter Gabriel music
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: in the background and everything, and this is what that
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: felt like when I heard that voice come on and
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, shut up. Yeah.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But overall, I think the movie looks cute.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: I will.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: It's one of those ones where I'm like, I'm gonna
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: say I will watch it because I'm interested, But it
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: depends on when it comes out and where I am
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: in life, because it's not one of those ones where
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I have to run to see.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: It comes out September nineteenth, I don't have to.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: Run to see September might be busy for me, I don't, Yeah.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: I I this is when I feel like I could
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 2: watch streaming. I don't feel like I need to go
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 2: to the Like maybe if I were early into a relationship,
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: like this feels like it could be a date movie
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: kind of thing, but but my relationship is very well established.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: I don't need to take my wife to a movie. O.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: How sad.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 2: If she wants to see it, then we'll go see it.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying like, like it's I don't I don't
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: feel like this is something I need to watch in
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: order to try and make a stronger connection with my partner,
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: because our connection is like solid.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah no, But I mean to be fair,
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: like I still want to see sketch and I haven't
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: gone to the I want to see it in the theaters.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: I haven't gone yet, just because.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: I haven't been traveling and working.
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: Traveling and working, and then like the people who really
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: want to see it haven't been available when I've been available.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: So well, last we have a trailer for Futurama season thirteen,
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 2: which I wrote said my notes was looks like more Futurama. Yeah.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: I had the same feeling. And I don't know why
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: I get salty about it, because we've had myriad seasons
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: of The Simpsons, and I don't get salty the same
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: way about the Simpsons that I do about Futuramama. I
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: think it's just because Futurama starts and ends so much,
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: and so it feels like they're trying to be a
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: thing when I'm just like, Okay, more Futurama.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: Well, it's kind of wild because like I remember the
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: first revival, right, like I remember when it ended on
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: Fox and it got revived on Comedy Central. I remember
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: that because I watched then, and I remember getting irritated
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: because there were so many especially in that first episode back,
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 2: there were so many jokes about Fox being a crappy
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: company because they canceled them the first time, And I
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: was like, Okay, I get it, you're working at your frustrations,
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 2: but I would really like you to write funny stories
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: about these characters now, please, and stop just using this
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: as a platform to grouse about how poorly you were
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: treated at your previous platform. So I wasn't a huge
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: fan of the revival episodes of Futurama. I love the
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: very first run. I thought it was brilliant. I thought
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 2: the revival kind a bit fan servicey and meta that
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: in ways that I just found irridating. Like I was like,
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: this feels like you're writing it for yourself and not
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: for your audience, and I, honestly I didn't. I lost
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: track of it. So I didn't even know about the
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 2: second revival, or if I had heard about it, I
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 2: hadn't really paid attention to it, like it was off
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: the air for ten years before it was revived again,
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 2: this time by Hulu. So I haven't watched any of
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: the Hulu episodes, though I might change that because now
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 2: I have Hulu, so I might actually start watching Futurama again.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's a bad thing that it's more Futurama.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 2: It feels very similar to the tone of Futurama from
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: when I watched it the first time around. It comes
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 2: out on September fifteenth on Hulu, so I'll probably watch this,
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 2: but I'll have to do a lot of catching up
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: because I don't think I watched all of the Comedy
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: Central years.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: But is it one of those shows that you have
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: to catch up or can you just jump back in?
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 2: I think it could just jump back in. But I
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 2: do know that there are characters who have like established
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 2: relationships now that when I was watching it they didn't.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 2: Like Fry and Leela are clearly in a relationship, and
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I seem to recall that I might have
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: seen the final episode that aired on Comedy Central, the
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: one before it was on like a ten year hiatus,
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 2: and I seem to recall that they ended up together
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 2: in that episode. But it's been you know, it's been
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: more than ten years since I've seen it, so I
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 2: don't know. Maybe I'm wrong about that, so I will.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: I will say there was one moment in the trailer
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: that did make me laugh, okay, is when they said
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: USB what's that? Oh, I think it's what happened after
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: the USA failed?
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right, that was a little bit. It's a great
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 2: as a Professor Farnsworth joke. Farnsworth, without a doubt, has
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 2: the best jokes in the series, like his his character
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: is crazed scientist senile old Man character is probably my favorite,
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: followed closely by Zoidberg.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so I do like Futurama.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 2: I just I don't know.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: It's also had I'm expecting too much.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 2: It's also hard to have a trailer for an animated
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: series that each episode is episodic right there. It's not
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: a serialized story, so like what clips do you show
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: from which episodes? You know, it's it's a weird thing
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 2: to show a trailer for. So that's part of the
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: issue I have. At least by Yeah, I'll probably check
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: it out because again, I have a lot of catching
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: up to do, and I genuinely do enjoy Futurama. I
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: think it was especially that first run. Those first cup
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 2: few seasons when it was still on Fox were really strong.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: There's still jokes that were made from that first run
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: that my wife and I will reference. Yeah, the big
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: one being like I'm gonna build my own amusement park
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: and I will not finish that quote because this is
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 2: a family show.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: Thank you. But we are finished with our lineup.
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we are. That's it. We are done, and we
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 2: will be done for the next two weeks. But currently
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: we do plan on having another episode come out September twelfth. However,
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: I'll be coming back into the country on September tenth,
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: so Ariel is gonna be doing a lot of the
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 2: prep work on that one. So my apostle, So, okay, you've.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: Been doing so much of the prep work, Jonathan.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: I look forward to you picking out the horror movies
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: that are gonna go into John Boys Horror Hatch.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: Look, it's gonna be like Jurassic Park and Jellatubbies and
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: Teletubbies and Killer Clowns from outer Space. Those are all
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: very frightening movies.
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: Killer Clowns from Outer Space is not a frightening movie.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: It was so scary to me as a kid, and
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: it still gives me nightmares.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 2: It's a comedy and it has a great soundtrack by
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 2: a punk rock band called the Dickies.
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 1: Okay, well we're really do mean it? That is it
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: for today, Jonathan. If people want to reach out to
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: us to affirm that they also agree that Killer Clowns
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: from out of Space is a comedy and not a horror,
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: how do they do?
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: So, what you're gonna have to do is you're gonna
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 2: have to go on a road trip. I know a
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 2: lot of these end up having you go on a
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 2: road trip. My apologies. That's just how you have to
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 2: get in touch with me.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: Are you just telling people to touch grass?
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 2: That is also important. But what you're gonna do is
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 2: you're gonna you're gonna have to find like some nice
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: isolated country roads through like rolling meadows, nothing, nothing you know, uh,
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: malicious or scary. I'm talking like picturesque, like like the
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: scenic route, and you're gonna be driving through that until
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 2: you spot in the middle of a field free standing
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 2: a doorway. It's just gonna be a little round, green
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: door with a brass knob right in the middle, just
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 2: free standing now no building around it. So you're gonna
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 2: have to pull off to the side of the road
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 2: and walk out into the middle of that meadow and
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 2: open up that door and step through. You will find
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 2: yourself in the Hobbit. Like the film The Hobbit, you
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: have just walked through bag ends front door and now
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 2: you're in the Hobbit. And your job is to make
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 2: that movie worth watching. And once you do, I will
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: show up and thank you, and then you can ask
• 1:20:03
