Speaker 1: The Large Nerdron Collider Podcast is a production of I
0:10
Speaker 1: Heart Radio. Hi everybody, Welcome to The Large Nerdron Collider Podcast,
0:23
Speaker 1: the podcast that's all about the geeky things happening in
0:26
Speaker 1: the world around us and how very excited we are
0:29
Speaker 1: about them. I'm Ariel Casting and with me, as always
0:32
Speaker 1: is Internet darling Jonathan Strict. I'm a darling an Ariel.
0:37
Speaker 1: I got a question for you, Okay, Ariel, here's your question.
0:47
Speaker 1: Kirk Picard, Pike, Cisco, Jane Way or Archer. And I
0:54
Speaker 1: know I could have added more in there, but I
0:56
Speaker 1: gave up. Um. I have a better card with this,
1:03
Speaker 1: oh with the close second of Cisco, because Steep Space
1:07
Speaker 1: nine is my favorite series. I thought, I thought for
1:10
Speaker 1: sure you were going to pick Cisco. I was. I
1:12
Speaker 1: thought for sure, I was. I was. I was really
1:16
Speaker 1: betting on it. I kind of had a crush on Piccard.
1:20
Speaker 1: So okay, so you've got the things. That's what I mean, Ariel.
1:26
Speaker 1: I'm married, so I mean no like because Patrick Stewart
1:31
Speaker 1: is very endearing and kind of dramatic, and at the
1:34
Speaker 1: time he was younger, so he wasn't that old. I mean,
1:37
Speaker 1: all these things you're saying apply to me too, Ariel.
1:40
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, this is our Valentine's Day episode.
1:43
Speaker 1: If you've got something to say, just say it, you know,
1:47
Speaker 1: I mean, Jonathan you I love you as a friend,
1:51
Speaker 1: my friend. Okay, who is your favorite? Um? You know
1:55
Speaker 1: what I think? I think? Um? I think I'm also
1:59
Speaker 1: going to go with Picard. Uh like I I like Kirk. Um.
2:05
Speaker 1: I thought Cisco was interesting. Um. I didn't watch too
2:09
Speaker 1: much of Voyager or Enterprise, So while I put Jane
2:13
Speaker 1: Way and Archer on there, I couldn't really pick them
2:16
Speaker 1: in good conscience just because I haven't seen enough stuff
2:19
Speaker 1: with them as captain. So I guess I'm gonna go
2:22
Speaker 1: with Piccard as well. I thought Picard was fantastic. He
2:25
Speaker 1: was fairly consistent in the Next Generation, writing like he
2:31
Speaker 1: he was mostly of the mind who of someone who
2:35
Speaker 1: follows the rule of the law, you know, he he
2:38
Speaker 1: doesn't break outside of it. He's very uh uh, very
2:44
Speaker 1: strict and that in that way, like he doesn't want
2:47
Speaker 1: people to go outside of the rules of the Federation.
2:50
Speaker 1: And then there's a bit of a turn, you know,
2:53
Speaker 1: kind of after he gets borgafied spoiler um, where he
2:58
Speaker 1: gets he gets a little more fast and loose with
3:00
Speaker 1: some of the rules and even challenges them at times,
3:04
Speaker 1: but mostly he was fairly consistent. Every now and then
3:06
Speaker 1: you've got an episode where you're like, I don't feel
3:08
Speaker 1: like the person who wrote this one has ever watched
3:10
Speaker 1: any other Next Generation episodes. But that was the exception,
3:15
Speaker 1: not the rule. I mean, I think, I think that's
3:17
Speaker 1: exactly it. You know, I one, he was my first captain.
3:21
Speaker 1: I did watch some original series as a kid, but
3:24
Speaker 1: Next Shan was what I grew up with first. But
3:27
Speaker 1: he he could Shennan when he needed to, and that's endearing.
3:32
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about fictional crushes later on in
3:34
Speaker 1: this episode, and a lot of mine are a little
3:37
Speaker 1: bit a little bit zany and and up for the Shenan,
3:41
Speaker 1: So I like the rogue types. I can't wait till
3:44
Speaker 1: we go through that list and reveal embarrassing truths about ourselves.
3:49
Speaker 1: But before we get to any we've got some headlines
3:52
Speaker 1: to get through, right, yes, And the first one is
3:56
Speaker 1: what is a headline I didn't expect to be excited about,
3:59
Speaker 1: but I'm very, very excited about it, which is Marvel
4:03
Speaker 1: Studios now has a writer for their new Blade movie,
4:09
Speaker 1: and that writer is Stacy O. Sayfore and uh, she
4:15
Speaker 1: is notable because not only is she the first black
4:18
Speaker 1: woman to write a Marvel movie for the m c U,
4:22
Speaker 1: but she wrote the recent miniseries Watchman, which was phenomenal. Yes,
4:28
Speaker 1: she is a notable playwright as well, so she's got
4:32
Speaker 1: a long history in writing for performance. We do not
4:36
Speaker 1: yet have a director attached to this project, but we
4:40
Speaker 1: do know that the Marvel seems to be taking real
4:45
Speaker 1: steps to try and actually walk the walk when it
4:49
Speaker 1: comes to promoting diversity in their projects. We're seeing this
4:55
Speaker 1: reflected in a lot of different Marvel titles which spoiler
4:59
Speaker 1: not alert, but you know, news alert for everybody. That
5:02
Speaker 1: was not the norm for superhero movies for like decades.
5:08
Speaker 1: It was essentially white dudes who were writing and directing films,
5:13
Speaker 1: whether or not the protagonist was white. It was very
5:16
Speaker 1: rare that you had someone who wasn't a white dude
5:19
Speaker 1: writing or directing one of these movies. So we're starting
5:21
Speaker 1: to see that change, and I'm really excited because when
5:26
Speaker 1: you bring more voices to the table to be able
5:30
Speaker 1: to tell these kind of stories, you get news stories.
5:33
Speaker 1: You're not retreading the same stuff. We've seen a billion times.
5:38
Speaker 1: So I think that that's a fantastic change and one
5:42
Speaker 1: that's going to benefit tons of people, um, you know,
5:46
Speaker 1: at least of all like the audience. I mean, we're
5:48
Speaker 1: gonna get some pretty cool stories. I think. Yeah, I
5:52
Speaker 1: do too. And you know, I'm I'm excited about Blade
5:55
Speaker 1: because it's been a long time since we got the
5:57
Speaker 1: first Blade movies, which we're kitchy and fun. Um. And
6:02
Speaker 1: I also like Mirshela Ali who is playing Blade, and
6:05
Speaker 1: so I just I think that this is a really
6:09
Speaker 1: jack pot team to put this story together. I just
6:12
Speaker 1: hope they cast more professional wrestlers as like the heavies,
6:16
Speaker 1: you know, like Triple H or Edge or something, and
6:20
Speaker 1: get some more big, big, big beefy dudes to get
6:24
Speaker 1: hacked to pieces by Blade. That's what I'm hoping for.
6:28
Speaker 1: That would be fun. Uh. So our next story is
6:33
Speaker 1: also Marvel And that's for anybody who watched the Super
6:36
Speaker 1: Bowl or wait, wait, anything around it. Wait wait wait
6:41
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. I thought it was the superb Owl.
6:47
Speaker 1: Six of one, half a dozen of the other. No
6:51
Speaker 1: wonder I didn't see anything just because the weekend's dance
6:56
Speaker 1: crew looked like the Court of Owls from Batman doesn't
7:00
Speaker 1: make the entire event Owl theme. I'll take your word
7:03
Speaker 1: for it. All I know is Tom Brady won a game.
7:05
Speaker 1: That's all I know about. But but but I do.
7:09
Speaker 1: I have watched the trailer that you're you were desperately
7:13
Speaker 1: trying to set up as I was derailing you. And
7:16
Speaker 1: that trailer, of course, is for the Falcon and the
7:18
Speaker 1: Winner Soldier. Uh. It's a series that is coming to
7:22
Speaker 1: Disney Plus. It was originally supposed to come out before
7:24
Speaker 1: one Division, but but it got pushed back due to
7:28
Speaker 1: covid or delays in the production, and now we're going
7:32
Speaker 1: to see it come to Disney Plus March nineteenth. We
7:35
Speaker 1: got a trailer during the superb Owl and it was,
7:40
Speaker 1: you know, a more expansive trailer than what we saw
7:43
Speaker 1: with the teaser. And honestly, this one got me more
7:47
Speaker 1: excited for the series than the teaser did. That's what
7:50
Speaker 1: I was going to ask, because I know after we
7:51
Speaker 1: watched the teaser, both you and I felt kind of
7:54
Speaker 1: lukewarm on the series, both having expected to be super
7:58
Speaker 1: excited about it. This one had a lot more humor,
8:00
Speaker 1: it had a lot more excitement. We saw Baron Zumo
8:04
Speaker 1: come in uh, and then Peggy Carter's Charter, Sharon Carter,
8:09
Speaker 1: Sharon Sharon Carter come in and so we know a
8:12
Speaker 1: lot more of the players. We got to see a
8:14
Speaker 1: lot more of the back and forth. I'm much more
8:17
Speaker 1: excited about this series now. And and you know the
8:20
Speaker 1: fact that we get characters who the last time we
8:22
Speaker 1: saw these characters were Captain America Civil War, so it was,
8:25
Speaker 1: you know, quite some time ago in the Marvel Cinemaic
8:28
Speaker 1: Universe timeline, because you've got to remember that five years
8:32
Speaker 1: passed between h the Infinity War and Endgame, so quite
8:36
Speaker 1: a bit of time has passed. You get to I'm
8:38
Speaker 1: assuming we're going to get to learn how these characters
8:42
Speaker 1: have been navigating their worlds. Sharon Carter apparently has been
8:46
Speaker 1: largely in hiding since Civil War because you know, she
8:49
Speaker 1: kind of did some things that her nation would think
8:52
Speaker 1: of as treasonous in helping Captain America during that time.
8:55
Speaker 1: So I'm very very eager to see more about this.
8:58
Speaker 1: The humor, as you point out, look like, you know,
9:02
Speaker 1: it looked more on form. One of the interesting things
9:04
Speaker 1: I saw when I was reading up on the series
9:08
Speaker 1: was that there appeared to be some sort of um
9:12
Speaker 1: response to two fans who for some reason weren't big
9:17
Speaker 1: fans of One Division. They felt like it was too
9:19
Speaker 1: much of a departure, and this looks like it's more
9:21
Speaker 1: of a return to form for m c U. To me,
9:24
Speaker 1: that's why I liked One Division so much, because it
9:29
Speaker 1: was new and different, whereas I don't mind the return
9:31
Speaker 1: to form. But that to me is not a positive.
9:34
Speaker 1: It's more like, I like this even though it looks
9:37
Speaker 1: like more of the same. I agree. I I feel
9:41
Speaker 1: like wand Division was a nice like a moose bush
9:46
Speaker 1: to refresh my palette from eating a lot of macaroni
9:49
Speaker 1: and cheese. I love macaroni and cheese, but if I
9:51
Speaker 1: eat too much of it, I get really tired of it.
9:54
Speaker 1: So she was, so, Wan Division is just like this
9:56
Speaker 1: nice light break. Well it's not really light, but this
10:01
Speaker 1: nice break from it before we go back in. Uh,
10:06
Speaker 1: something else that I hope will be a nice, fun
10:09
Speaker 1: departure from the normal Marvel Mille. You is this upcoming
10:17
Speaker 1: spinoff series that's being pitched, Jonathan, Why don't you talk
10:20
Speaker 1: about this because because I know the guy, because you
10:24
Speaker 1: know the guy. So we're talking about Stephen Ford, who
10:28
Speaker 1: is an actor a writer and a director. He uh
10:31
Speaker 1: is someone that I've met at a ce S a
10:34
Speaker 1: few years ago. We have a mutual friend, and um,
10:37
Speaker 1: he was hanging out with this mutual friend when I
10:40
Speaker 1: came by to hang out with this mutual friend. So
10:42
Speaker 1: by force of association we got to know each other.
10:45
Speaker 1: Cool dude. And he tweeted about how he thought Jimmy Woo,
10:50
Speaker 1: the the FBI character who is in Aunt Man and
10:53
Speaker 1: also in One Division, should get his own spinoff series
10:57
Speaker 1: in something along the style of the X Files. So
10:59
Speaker 1: some and who's investigating weird phenomena in the Marvel universe.
11:05
Speaker 1: And I responded immediately, I was like, this to me,
11:08
Speaker 1: sounds like a slam dunk because it reminds me a
11:12
Speaker 1: lot of Agent Coulson. How that character started as a
11:16
Speaker 1: supporting character, fans really started to latch onto him, and
11:20
Speaker 1: he ended up becoming the lynchpin for the Agents of
11:23
Speaker 1: Shield series. And this could be kind of a successor
11:26
Speaker 1: to Agents of Shield in that regard, following a a
11:30
Speaker 1: normal human character navigating the strange, supernatural, and super powerful
11:37
Speaker 1: world of Marvel. And so I was totally on board.
11:40
Speaker 1: And it turns out that apparently just by making that
11:43
Speaker 1: tweet and being related to the the industry, he ended
11:47
Speaker 1: up getting uh some interest from Marvel and it was
11:52
Speaker 1: apparently invited to pitch his idea more formally, and so
11:55
Speaker 1: this past weekend that's what he was working on. I
11:59
Speaker 1: don't know any more details. I haven't chatted with him
12:01
Speaker 1: about it. In fact, I didn't even know that it
12:04
Speaker 1: had gone that extra step until you Ariel had put
12:08
Speaker 1: this story in our lineup, and you didn't even know
12:10
Speaker 1: that I knew the guy. I didn't. But I'm also
12:13
Speaker 1: excited because Randall Park, who plays Agent Wu, is totally
12:17
Speaker 1: on board for this. So I really hope it happens.
12:20
Speaker 1: I realized some people might go, like we're saying not
12:24
Speaker 1: more general Marvel feel. Some people might go, I've had
12:29
Speaker 1: enough X Files feel shows. But I think it could
12:32
Speaker 1: be really baller. Yeah. And I mean, like, there's no
12:36
Speaker 1: telling how what kind of tone this would have. You
12:39
Speaker 1: figure that there would be some sort of, you know,
12:41
Speaker 1: kind of lighthearted nature to it because the character of
12:44
Speaker 1: Wu has got that kind of of of feel about him,
12:49
Speaker 1: like he always seems pretty upbeat and kind of funny
12:53
Speaker 1: while also being a little geeky. Um, So I really
12:58
Speaker 1: love his his portrayal of the character are both in
13:00
Speaker 1: the ant Man films and in one division, he's I
13:03
Speaker 1: think he's one of the bright spots consistently and uh,
13:07
Speaker 1: and so I would love to see a full series
13:09
Speaker 1: with him as the starring role. I agree. And our
13:14
Speaker 1: final story for this new segment is about a series
13:18
Speaker 1: that I like with a central character that I like,
13:20
Speaker 1: Mass Effect. Yeah, and Mass Effect is coming out with
13:24
Speaker 1: a new legendary edition of all three of the game's
13:27
Speaker 1: original games. Yeah, not the not the follow up that
13:31
Speaker 1: got absolutely lambasted for all of the the bugs and
13:37
Speaker 1: and glitches and story elements, but the original trilogy of
13:42
Speaker 1: Mass Effect games. And apparently in this new remaster, some
13:47
Speaker 1: of the scenes are going to be uh, you know,
13:50
Speaker 1: not not as not as gratuitous in the the lingering
13:55
Speaker 1: on certain attributes of the human body or sometimes alien body.
13:59
Speaker 1: So I guess, uh, the show, the series is no
14:02
Speaker 1: longer going to be as Effect. Yeah, they said, well,
14:06
Speaker 1: they weren't super concerned with the camera angles. They also
14:10
Speaker 1: figured that gratuitous butt shots didn't really match up with
14:15
Speaker 1: audience and it didn't hurt the story. I need to
14:18
Speaker 1: just the cammer angle just a little bit. Yeah, I
14:20
Speaker 1: kind of okay, So I kind of want to see
14:23
Speaker 1: the same treatment given to We were just talking about
14:27
Speaker 1: the m c U some of Marvel films, because whenever
14:29
Speaker 1: there was a Marvel movie featuring Black Widow, you could
14:33
Speaker 1: guarantee that there was going to be at least a
14:37
Speaker 1: half dozen shots that really focused on her rear end um,
14:42
Speaker 1: especially the Joss Whedon ones. Uh. So I actually, as
14:47
Speaker 1: it was happening, I was like, this is a little unnecessary.
14:51
Speaker 1: I can see exactly what's going on here, and I
14:54
Speaker 1: don't think it's really needed. Uh And I'm not a
14:56
Speaker 1: prouder or anything. I just thought like, this is kind
15:00
Speaker 1: of this feels kind of creepy to me. It feels
15:02
Speaker 1: a little sleazy. So the same sort of thing here.
15:05
Speaker 1: I think it's this idea that that the way that
15:10
Speaker 1: we depict characters and media is undergoing a massive change
15:15
Speaker 1: and over overdue change because of changing sensibilities, and this
15:21
Speaker 1: is an opportunity to kind of address some things that. Again,
15:24
Speaker 1: like you were saying, Ariel, it's not that it was
15:26
Speaker 1: over the top. It wasn't like zooming in. It wasn't
15:29
Speaker 1: like one of the one of those beach volleyball games
15:32
Speaker 1: or anything. Like that, but it was probably not really
15:36
Speaker 1: needed the way it was framed up, it wasn't And
15:39
Speaker 1: some of it is just like based around. For instance,
15:41
Speaker 1: if you play a female shepherd and you decide to
15:43
Speaker 1: wear a dress, is that character when you sit in
15:45
Speaker 1: a chair, you sit in a chair the same way
15:47
Speaker 1: that a male shepherd sits in the chair, which is
15:50
Speaker 1: with your legs. Splite, open man, spreading, flattering, ma'am spreading.
16:01
Speaker 1: But you know it doesn't because unlike a movie where
16:03
Speaker 1: they'd have to reshoot or pick a different camera angle
16:06
Speaker 1: for this, they can't change the animations, but they can
16:09
Speaker 1: change where the visuals focus. Just moving it up a
16:13
Speaker 1: little bit makes it so much more flattering. I look
16:15
Speaker 1: forward to it this game. The remastering looks beautiful. I
16:20
Speaker 1: don't really need to play all three games again, but
16:22
Speaker 1: I'm really really tempted by this. So yes, Well, that's
16:27
Speaker 1: our our final story for this this headline section, although
16:30
Speaker 1: we are going to mention before we go to break
16:32
Speaker 1: because this will come back to play when we do
16:34
Speaker 1: our mash up at the end of the episode. One
16:37
Speaker 1: other quick item is that Cinderella, the Rogers and Hammerstein
16:42
Speaker 1: version the musical that Brandy did many years ago with
16:47
Speaker 1: Whitney Houston as well is coming to Disney. Plus, we
16:52
Speaker 1: thought it was important we mentioned it because she's going
16:54
Speaker 1: to show up again in our mesh up. Yes, but
16:57
Speaker 1: first we're gonna take a quick break. Aerial, Yes, Jonathan,
17:13
Speaker 1: So you know our next episode comes out after Valentine's
17:17
Speaker 1: Day right now, it's before it comes out before. No. No,
17:22
Speaker 1: our next episode, our next episode comes out after Valentine's
17:28
Speaker 1: not the one we're not, the one we're recording right now, ok.
17:34
Speaker 1: I mean the one, the one that we'll sit down
17:36
Speaker 1: and record next Monday, comes out after Valentine's Day, which
17:40
Speaker 1: means that we are doing our Valentine's Day episode a
17:43
Speaker 1: few days early. You know that that's on Sunday. We're
17:45
Speaker 1: coming out on Wednesday. But we thought that some a
17:48
Speaker 1: fun discussion, potentially fun discussion, would be to go over
17:53
Speaker 1: five crushes that we have had on fictional characters. Originally,
17:58
Speaker 1: Aerial had pitched the idea of animated characters. But I'm
18:02
Speaker 1: not a weirdo, so I've never That's that's that came
18:06
Speaker 1: out wrong. I have never, as far as I know,
18:08
Speaker 1: I've never had a crush on an enemy. Maybe Jessica Rabbit.
18:12
Speaker 1: But let's be honest, I was going through a special
18:15
Speaker 1: time in my life when who Fred Roger Rabbit came out,
18:18
Speaker 1: So I'm not going to count that one. So we're
18:20
Speaker 1: gonna go with fictional crushes, which may or may not
18:24
Speaker 1: be animated minor all live action. Um, who would you
18:29
Speaker 1: like to go first? Do you want me to go
18:30
Speaker 1: first or do you want to go first? I'll go first,
18:32
Speaker 1: tell you what. I'll go first for this and you
18:34
Speaker 1: go first for the mashup when we get to it. Okay, okay,
18:37
Speaker 1: But first I want to say, having a crush on
18:40
Speaker 1: a cartoon character is not necessarily creepy. You know, I
18:43
Speaker 1: know so many of my guy friends said that when
18:46
Speaker 1: they were young they had a crush on Gadget from
18:48
Speaker 1: Rescue Rangers or Penny from Inspector Gadget. It was Nydrey Keenny.
18:54
Speaker 1: Come on, they were children, they were children watching the
18:58
Speaker 1: show who had a little child crush this other child
19:02
Speaker 1: that you're gonna tell me it was gonna be that
19:04
Speaker 1: that rabbit from Space Jam? Um? No, but that too, Lola. Yeah, okay,
19:09
Speaker 1: I've never I've never seen Space Jam. So alright, so
19:12
Speaker 1: my first two crushes, I'll do my first one, but
19:15
Speaker 1: my first to so you know, I've ordered these sort
19:17
Speaker 1: of chronologically when I encountered them, but the first two
19:22
Speaker 1: I bot I I saw when I was a little kid,
19:25
Speaker 1: but the I went ahead and order them chronologically as
19:28
Speaker 1: to when the properties came out. So my first crush
19:32
Speaker 1: is mary Anne Summers from Gilligan's Island. Of course, yeah,
19:36
Speaker 1: she's the only Summers, So Buffy, sorry about that, you
19:40
Speaker 1: don't make the list. Mary Anne Summers makes the list
19:43
Speaker 1: as she was Girl next Door, a girl from Kansas
19:48
Speaker 1: who wins the contest. That's why she's on that three
19:51
Speaker 1: hour tour on the Minnow, which of course ends up
19:56
Speaker 1: being uh washed up on a shore of a uncharted
20:01
Speaker 1: desert isle and uh. And she was sort of the
20:05
Speaker 1: the grounded, sensible character in the show. She was the
20:10
Speaker 1: more sensible foil to Ginger the movie star, and had
20:16
Speaker 1: that had that farm girl girl next door kind of
20:19
Speaker 1: appearance to her that as a kid I just thought
20:23
Speaker 1: was I thought she was the most beautiful woman I
20:25
Speaker 1: had ever seen, and I had a massive crush on
20:27
Speaker 1: her as a child. She she is gorgeous and I
20:32
Speaker 1: loved her character the best on Gilligan's Island myself. I
20:34
Speaker 1: didn't have a crush on her, but I loved her
20:37
Speaker 1: because she didn't have ulterior motives. She was very genuine
20:41
Speaker 1: in her actions. So great choice. Okay, your person, I'm
20:45
Speaker 1: judging you, but great choice. I'll be judging you going
20:48
Speaker 1: back and forth. Um, okay, So I'm going to start
20:54
Speaker 1: with the three that I'm certain of, because there's a
20:56
Speaker 1: whole bunch that I like. I have this long list.
20:58
Speaker 1: My crushes changed so much throughout my childhood and young
21:02
Speaker 1: adult years, and I guess even now I crush on characters.
21:06
Speaker 1: So um, my first one is going to be Rosencrantz
21:10
Speaker 1: from Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. The one with Tim
21:12
Speaker 1: Roth and Gary Oldman because he was just adorable and
21:17
Speaker 1: sweet and creative and always like experimenting, and he was
21:21
Speaker 1: a cuteie. I've had have such a crush on that
21:24
Speaker 1: character that I still think Gary Oldman is cute to
21:28
Speaker 1: this day because he played the character. I was about
21:31
Speaker 1: to ask you which of the two that was, because,
21:34
Speaker 1: like like the the movie, it's hard to tell them apart.
21:38
Speaker 1: But in the film that's a that's an ongoing gag too.
21:41
Speaker 1: That's true, and it's It's even interesting because I was
21:44
Speaker 1: in Hamlet and some of the lines that Guildenstern and
21:47
Speaker 1: Rosenkrantz have in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead are transposed
21:50
Speaker 1: from who says it in Hamlet as well. So uh,
21:55
Speaker 1: basically I had to go look up online and go
21:57
Speaker 1: which one was Gary Oldman again, because that's the one
22:00
Speaker 1: I had a crush on. The other one was a
22:01
Speaker 1: little bit too snippy. Um nothing against Tim Roth for
22:06
Speaker 1: his acting abilities, but that character was less kind and innocent,
22:11
Speaker 1: and so yeah, Rantz was the He's My favorite of
22:14
Speaker 1: the two is the is Guildenstern, although my favorite character
22:18
Speaker 1: in that in that play is the leading player who
22:21
Speaker 1: Richard dreyf has played him in the movie. Um, fantastic,
22:25
Speaker 1: fantastic choice. All Right, so you fun fact I was
22:29
Speaker 1: Rosen Cranston Hamlet. Fun fact Rosenkranston Gillenstern are Dead as
22:35
Speaker 1: one of the only plays I ever dropped out of. Okay,
22:38
Speaker 1: so my next crush crushed Number two, which I had
22:42
Speaker 1: concurrently with Mary Anne Summers, was wonder Woman as played
22:47
Speaker 1: by Linda Carter. I don't know that I need to
22:51
Speaker 1: explain why she was amazing. She kicked, but she was
22:57
Speaker 1: competent and intelligent and never back down from any of
23:02
Speaker 1: the bad guys. And she was gorgeous as well, so
23:05
Speaker 1: like all of those things together. Plus she could change
23:09
Speaker 1: her outfit just about twirling in place. You know, I
23:12
Speaker 1: tried that as a young girl, was not as successful
23:15
Speaker 1: as Wonder Woman was. Does your crush extend to Wonder
23:18
Speaker 1: Woman beyond Linda Carter? No, it's specifically the Linda Carter
23:22
Speaker 1: version of Wonder Woman? Gotcha? Gotcha. I really like Wonder
23:26
Speaker 1: Woman because she is such a competent warrior. She's she's
23:31
Speaker 1: she's very like, go get them, So I really like
23:35
Speaker 1: she can also be very kind. But I like that
23:38
Speaker 1: she is sometimes interpreted as just sorry for the language,
23:43
Speaker 1: a badass. I mean, I said as effect earlier. I
23:46
Speaker 1: think you're okay, who's your number two? Fair enough? Um? Okay,
23:52
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna say doctor Who. I'm gonna say it's
23:59
Speaker 1: the for Eccleston one, yes, yes, uh. And I think
24:05
Speaker 1: that's because okay, so for me, doctor Who should not
24:09
Speaker 1: the doctor should not be a romantic character. Whenever they
24:14
Speaker 1: uh bring in a romantic plotline, I always get really
24:18
Speaker 1: bored with it. I like, I like that character to
24:20
Speaker 1: be kind of outside of it. That being said, while
24:23
Speaker 1: tom Baker was my first Doctor, I remember watching Eccleston
24:27
Speaker 1: was the first of the new series, and just I
24:29
Speaker 1: think that excitement of here's this character that I love
24:33
Speaker 1: that I want to go, like, I want to go
24:35
Speaker 1: on these wonderful adventures with him. It looks like so
24:39
Speaker 1: much fun came back in. Eccleston just had this great
24:43
Speaker 1: balance of quirky with solemnness that just was really brilliant.
24:47
Speaker 1: I like the moment that he reached out and grabbed
24:50
Speaker 1: Rose's hand in the first episode and and said come
24:54
Speaker 1: with me, Like that was just like, ah, yes, I
24:57
Speaker 1: am into this, and um yeah, I loved him. You know,
25:02
Speaker 1: Christopher Egilson ain't bad looking, but it was just he's
25:05
Speaker 1: he's got this really great charm about him, and it's
25:09
Speaker 1: just a story I already loved. Kind of along those
25:13
Speaker 1: lines Peter Pan, although Peter Pan is a much meaner
25:18
Speaker 1: spirited character, but that whole idea is like, yes, let's
25:22
Speaker 1: go away and adventure is very appealing to me. I
25:25
Speaker 1: was not. I was not on board with Doctor like
25:28
Speaker 1: I you know me, I tried to watch Dr Who
25:30
Speaker 1: and I was not getting into it until there was
25:34
Speaker 1: an episode where the doctor figures out a solution where
25:39
Speaker 1: he realizes he can save everybody and he actually, you know,
25:43
Speaker 1: gets excited and says, everybody lives. And it was that
25:46
Speaker 1: moment where I actually got emotionally invested in the character
25:50
Speaker 1: because it was the first time that I saw the
25:52
Speaker 1: doctor seemed to actually care about people and not just
25:57
Speaker 1: we're going on a crazy adventure. But he you learned,
26:00
Speaker 1: he genuinely cares for people. It's just that he's kind
26:03
Speaker 1: of built up defenses around that and hasn't let on
26:07
Speaker 1: to that. But when at that moment when he realizes
26:09
Speaker 1: he can save everyone, all of that comes crashing down,
26:12
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, then that is one of
26:18
Speaker 1: my favorite episodes. You know, the laws of time travel
26:21
Speaker 1: are a cruel cruel mistress, so I could only imagine
26:24
Speaker 1: it would take a toll on an individual. All right,
26:27
Speaker 1: My number three Dana Scully from The X Files. Yeah,
26:33
Speaker 1: so here's the thing about Scully that I loved. She
26:37
Speaker 1: well multiple things, capable, incredibly intelligent, She knew, uh like
26:46
Speaker 1: the procedures. She was of a very critical thinking kind
26:49
Speaker 1: of nature, very skeptical to me, The most frustrating thing
26:52
Speaker 1: about X Files is that Dana Scully was consistently giving
26:59
Speaker 1: the rite in for Nation the right answers, the right procedure,
27:02
Speaker 1: and was consistently wrong. And that's what drove me nuts,
27:06
Speaker 1: is because she was doing everything a critical thinker should do.
27:09
Speaker 1: It's just that she happened to inhabit a universe where
27:13
Speaker 1: the supernatural was real, and the only thing they got
27:17
Speaker 1: frustrating was that season after season you started to say, Okay,
27:21
Speaker 1: I get that she's a critical thinker by nature. However,
27:25
Speaker 1: she also has been through multiple years of crazy stuff
27:28
Speaker 1: going on around her and she still is of the
27:31
Speaker 1: mind to say, well, that's just not possible. I'm like,
27:34
Speaker 1: come on, lady, You've seen people climb up walls and
27:39
Speaker 1: control stuff with their minds. That probably get a little frustrating,
27:43
Speaker 1: but the way that character was presented was really appealing
27:47
Speaker 1: to me. Nice. Nice. I don't have much to say
27:50
Speaker 1: on that. I didn't watch X Files, but I think that, yeah,
27:56
Speaker 1: that's a great choice. Okay, you're number three. Okay, my
28:00
Speaker 1: number three is Jack Kelly from newss. Is he the
28:04
Speaker 1: one who's going to Santa Fe. He's the one going
28:07
Speaker 1: to Santa Fe. He's a rogue with a heart of gold,
28:10
Speaker 1: and he can sing and dance like it doesn't. It
28:13
Speaker 1: can be Christian Bale, it can be any of the
28:15
Speaker 1: Broadway actors. It is entirely character based, not at all
28:20
Speaker 1: actor based. I just I wanted to live in the
28:24
Speaker 1: news He's world. It's not a great world to live in.
28:26
Speaker 1: But I know when Mr Hurst is around, you're not
28:30
Speaker 1: going to have a good time. That is true. Okay
28:33
Speaker 1: number four, Okay, yeah, I'm moving right along. Willow Rosenberg
28:37
Speaker 1: from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Willow was the one I
28:40
Speaker 1: had the crush on, not Buffy. I thought Willow was adorable.
28:45
Speaker 1: She was smart, she was vulnerable, She grew as a character,
28:49
Speaker 1: became more capable, more self confident. I didn't always agree
28:54
Speaker 1: with some of the choices that the writer's made in
28:58
Speaker 1: developing her character. I felt that some of them were inconsistent,
29:02
Speaker 1: or they weren't really you couldn't really support some of
29:06
Speaker 1: the choices based on the the earlier stuff from that character.
29:11
Speaker 1: That being said, I really like Dallison Hannigan's portrayal of
29:15
Speaker 1: the character. I loved her sort of awkward nerdiness um
29:21
Speaker 1: and I loved her sense of humor, and she I
29:24
Speaker 1: had a huge crush on that character, clearly not a
29:27
Speaker 1: crush on the actress. She has played other characters that
29:30
Speaker 1: I found absolutely abhorrent, so so it's literally that character.
29:35
Speaker 1: So at least I recognized the difference, right, because there
29:37
Speaker 1: are a lot of actors who have stories about fans
29:40
Speaker 1: who have crushes on a character they played, and they
29:43
Speaker 1: just project that that character is the same as the actor. Um,
29:47
Speaker 1: you're number four, okay, My number four is Dmitri from
29:53
Speaker 1: Anastasia slash Kale Tucker from Titan A. Is that the
29:57
Speaker 1: bat No, it's the romantic interest and the lead character, respectively. Oh.
30:07
Speaker 1: I had dore bar talk, but I did not have
30:09
Speaker 1: a crush on him. I've wanted to put him in
30:12
Speaker 1: my pocket and carry him around for comedic relief, but
30:15
Speaker 1: I didn't have a crush on him. But the reason
30:17
Speaker 1: why those two are slashed together is because at the
30:20
Speaker 1: time those two came out, I remember me and my
30:22
Speaker 1: friends would always go, it's the same character, just with
30:25
Speaker 1: different colored hair. They're both rogue ish, they both have
30:28
Speaker 1: have a snarky sense of humor, and they look kind
30:30
Speaker 1: of similar. Looking back now, I can tell that they're
30:34
Speaker 1: different character types, largely except for in profile, but yeah,
30:38
Speaker 1: just more rogues. Okay, so you got a type, is
30:41
Speaker 1: what I'm learning. Um My fifth and final is and
30:45
Speaker 1: this is a throwback to our earlier discussion about the
30:48
Speaker 1: m c U Peggy Carter, uh, Peggy Carter from Captain
30:52
Speaker 1: America slash Agent Carter, because once again we have an
30:56
Speaker 1: incredibly intelligent, incredibly capable woman evident in her abilities. Uh.
31:02
Speaker 1: She she is aware of people's perceptions of her and
31:08
Speaker 1: can often use that to her own advantage. So while
31:12
Speaker 1: she is constantly and consistently faced with unfair situations, she
31:17
Speaker 1: also knows how to maneuver within those to get to
31:20
Speaker 1: her goals, even though it's unfair that she should have
31:23
Speaker 1: to maneuver through them. Um. I really admired the character
31:28
Speaker 1: and I also I mean, you know, again, absolutely gorgeous character,
31:33
Speaker 1: like those hairstyles and everything that just that I'm a
31:36
Speaker 1: sucker for him. So and that red hat, oh, that
31:40
Speaker 1: red fedora that was such so pretty. I'm not a
31:43
Speaker 1: fashion guy typically or a costume guy that much, but
31:46
Speaker 1: but they really picked great looks for the character, and um, yeah,
31:52
Speaker 1: it's just a fantastic realization of that character. On screen. Yeah,
31:57
Speaker 1: I mean I have a crush on her outfits um,
32:01
Speaker 1: and the red hat reminds me of Carmen san Diego
32:03
Speaker 1: a lot um. Alright, my fifth crush. I really struggled
32:08
Speaker 1: with this one because I didn't know if I wanted
32:09
Speaker 1: to go new or old, because new would be lowkey.
32:13
Speaker 1: But I think Burt from Mary Poppins beats out Loki
32:16
Speaker 1: any Day too? Are so similar? Are they? Well? I
32:22
Speaker 1: mean they've both been reality. They do, but one does
32:27
Speaker 1: so out of kindness and goodness and the other one
32:30
Speaker 1: does so out of being a little meani head. Burnes
32:35
Speaker 1: is the goodness kindness. Lokis the meani head one. I
32:38
Speaker 1: know Loki as are deeping. I really like that character.
32:40
Speaker 1: But no, Burt, Burt from Mary Poppins. He's so sweet,
32:43
Speaker 1: he's so fun. And Dick van Dyke when he was
32:46
Speaker 1: young was quite the cutie. So terrible accent, terrible accent,
32:52
Speaker 1: terrible accent. But but if if Loki sings a song
32:55
Speaker 1: about Chimney sweeps in the new series, I will be
32:58
Speaker 1: on board for that too. M hmm, that would be good. Well,
33:02
Speaker 1: we've got our fictional crushes done. If you guys have
33:06
Speaker 1: your own fictional crushes you want to send, don't be creepy.
33:08
Speaker 1: You can do so in our email which is l
33:11
Speaker 1: n C at I heart media dot com. When we
33:14
Speaker 1: come back from the break, we will be mashing up
33:17
Speaker 1: a beloved fairy tale character with a musical that is
33:23
Speaker 1: my no joke, my favorite musical of all time. But hey,
33:27
Speaker 1: I will not be singing this time, so that's something.
33:30
Speaker 1: But that's after this break. Okay, So we're back, and um,
33:51
Speaker 1: we have chosen to mash up together Cinderella the fairy
33:56
Speaker 1: Tale with a Little Shop of Horrors, which was originally
34:01
Speaker 1: a Roger Corman produced low budget horror comedy that was
34:06
Speaker 1: essentially made on a bet where there was a bet
34:10
Speaker 1: place that can you make a film with this low
34:14
Speaker 1: of a budget? Uh, which Roger Corman did manage to do.
34:17
Speaker 1: He produced that film, mostly notable for Jack Nicholson having
34:22
Speaker 1: a really odd cameo. If you've seen the musical, he
34:25
Speaker 1: plays the same character that Bill Murray plays in the
34:29
Speaker 1: the film musical. And then Ashman and Mancoln, the same
34:33
Speaker 1: team behind Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast for Disney,
34:37
Speaker 1: wrote a musical version that was that took the film
34:40
Speaker 1: and adapted it for the stage, which then, of course
34:43
Speaker 1: got adapted into a film directed by Frank oz Uh.
34:46
Speaker 1: They changed the ending because they the original ending is
34:49
Speaker 1: a downer, so they changed it to be more of
34:51
Speaker 1: a happy ending. Um, and that's the story behind Little
34:54
Speaker 1: Shop of Hers. I don't think we really need to
34:56
Speaker 1: explain the origin of Cinderella pretty much a universal Yeah,
35:01
Speaker 1: I will agree. Little Shop of hors is one of
35:02
Speaker 1: my favorite musicals. It's also a great love story, which
35:05
Speaker 1: is why I picked it for this mash up. Yeah,
35:07
Speaker 1: less so in the version that I did. But okay, okay, Well,
35:14
Speaker 1: since I agreed to go first on this, this is
35:16
Speaker 1: Center Shop of Horrors, a twisted tale of plants and romance.
35:20
Speaker 1: In a small village in the region of York, there
35:22
Speaker 1: lived a poor young man named Seymour Krell Bornella Lord.
35:27
Speaker 1: After his parents died, he was stuck living with his
35:30
Speaker 1: step uncle mush Nick Krell Boornella, and his brother's stepbrothers
35:34
Speaker 1: or In Arthur. His uncle and stepbrothers treated him like
35:38
Speaker 1: dirt and called him a slob. They forced him to
35:40
Speaker 1: live and maintain their family flower shops, sweeping the floor
35:43
Speaker 1: and delivering orders. The same flower shop also happened to
35:47
Speaker 1: be a favorite place for the royal family to purchase
35:49
Speaker 1: their flowers for any royal event. One day, the Princess
35:53
Speaker 1: of the Kingdom, Her Royal Highness Christina Ruperta Gwendoline Goslin,
35:57
Speaker 1: Carla Alexandra Francis, Regina Ansela Audrey, Yes Audrey Audrey, Geraldine Jane,
36:04
Speaker 1: was having a ball. She stopped by the flower shop
36:07
Speaker 1: to pick just the right foliage for the event herself.
36:10
Speaker 1: She had never been to the flower shop before, but
36:12
Speaker 1: this was the first ball that was all hers. When
36:15
Speaker 1: she and Seymour locked eyes, it was instant chemistry. She
36:19
Speaker 1: ordered the flowers from Seymour and gave him an invitation
36:21
Speaker 1: to stay for the party to help her care for
36:23
Speaker 1: the flowers during the Galah. Of of course, however, Or
36:27
Speaker 1: and Author, who also took to the princess, insisted on
36:29
Speaker 1: helping deliver the flowers themselves, despite the fact that they
36:32
Speaker 1: had never actually done so before. No matter, Seymour would
36:36
Speaker 1: get to see the princess again, and that's all that
36:37
Speaker 1: mattered to him. Her face was as exquisite as a rose,
36:41
Speaker 1: she was as dainty as a daisy, and her gait
36:43
Speaker 1: was as graceful as a bird. However, when the day
36:46
Speaker 1: of the flower delivery and the ball came, the brothers
36:49
Speaker 1: trashed the flower shop so that Seymour would have to
36:51
Speaker 1: stay in clean up. They tossed him a broom and
36:54
Speaker 1: left cackling. Seymour was distraught, but started cleaning. When he
36:58
Speaker 1: opened the door to sweep all the dirt from the
36:59
Speaker 1: broken pots into the backyard. At the shop, he noticed
37:02
Speaker 1: three songbirds circling and tripping loudly and frantically near a tree.
37:06
Speaker 1: When he went to look at their what there to
37:07
Speaker 1: do was all about? He saw nothing. He was about
37:10
Speaker 1: to go back and back into the shop and opened
37:13
Speaker 1: his own little corner of the store when something that
37:15
Speaker 1: his toe. He looked down and there was a knee
37:18
Speaker 1: high plant. He wasn't sure how he missed it, but
37:20
Speaker 1: that wasn't the oddest thing. The oddest thing was that
37:23
Speaker 1: the plant opened up his mouth and started talking. That's right, boy,
37:27
Speaker 1: it said, I'm your fairy godflower, your friend, your genie.
37:30
Speaker 1: You want to get it, then listen to me. He
37:32
Speaker 1: unfurled a plan for Seymour to bring the flower plant,
37:36
Speaker 1: very godflower thing to the ball, leaving it in the courtyard.
37:40
Speaker 1: Then he would go into the ball, Seymour would avoiding
37:43
Speaker 1: the princess and tell his brothers that they had left
37:45
Speaker 1: a plant back at the shop, and without it, the
37:47
Speaker 1: Princess's order would be incomplete, and then the plant would
37:50
Speaker 1: take care of the rest. It seemed impossible, but so
37:53
Speaker 1: did a talking plant, And so Seymour daft and dewey
37:56
Speaker 1: eyed dope that he was put on a fresh, clean apron,
37:58
Speaker 1: his best one and the plant, and headed nervously to
38:01
Speaker 1: the gala. Uh. It was a lovely night at the ball,
38:04
Speaker 1: I mean, really, a finer night I know you'd never see.
38:07
Speaker 1: He placed the plant in the courtyard by the steps
38:09
Speaker 1: of the palace and went to follow the fairy godflowers plans.
38:13
Speaker 1: When Seymour told the brothers of their mistake, they were mad,
38:15
Speaker 1: and they dragged him out to the courtyard with them.
38:18
Speaker 1: How could they have missed something, and how could he
38:21
Speaker 1: have the gall to call him out on it. However,
38:24
Speaker 1: as they were doing so, the princess looked in that direction, and,
38:26
Speaker 1: thinking she saw a glimpse of Seymour, followed shortly behind,
38:29
Speaker 1: dodging her way through the guests. When the brothers and
38:32
Speaker 1: Seymour got to the courtyard, the plant got fairy godflower
38:36
Speaker 1: opened up and ate the brothers. Seymour was so frightened
38:39
Speaker 1: that he grabbed the plant and ran away, dropping the
38:42
Speaker 1: plot pot at the plant was in as he did. Uh.
38:46
Speaker 1: He went to retrieve it, but he saw the princess
38:48
Speaker 1: coming out of the castle and he didn't want to
38:49
Speaker 1: be caught with murder charges of his brothers, so he
38:52
Speaker 1: left and slipped away before she could see him. When
38:55
Speaker 1: the princess reached the courtyard, there were no brothers and
38:58
Speaker 1: no Seymour, only one and flower pot. When Seymour got
39:02
Speaker 1: back to the shop, he threw the flower into the
39:03
Speaker 1: yard and locked the door behind him. Distraught, the next day,
39:07
Speaker 1: the princess ventured to the village to return the pot
39:10
Speaker 1: to the flower shop to see if it was his,
39:12
Speaker 1: and in hopes of seeing Seymour again. She saw the
39:15
Speaker 1: fairy godflower laying in the yard of the shop and
39:17
Speaker 1: placed it in the pot. It fit perfectly, and she
39:19
Speaker 1: knew that it was Seymour. She glanced at the ball
39:22
Speaker 1: just then, however, the plant reared up to eat the princess. Thankfully,
39:26
Speaker 1: Seymour was on his way out of the shop just
39:28
Speaker 1: at that moment to destroy the plant. And caught him
39:31
Speaker 1: trying to eat the princess. Knowing that a fight would
39:34
Speaker 1: add and badly for everyone, Seymour made a deal with
39:36
Speaker 1: the plant. He would let the plant take over the
39:39
Speaker 1: shop and the village if the plant would let Seymour
39:41
Speaker 1: escape with the princess. The princess was so in love
39:44
Speaker 1: with Seymour that she agreed, and together they abandoned the
39:47
Speaker 1: village to the mean green mother and fled to somewhere
39:49
Speaker 1: that's green to live happily ever after. Wow, my story
39:54
Speaker 1: is a little darker than yours, so prepare yourself. Um. Also,
40:01
Speaker 1: I have a pun in mine that I am so
40:04
Speaker 1: proud of that I just I'm gonna take a moment
40:08
Speaker 1: to bask in how great the pun is and how
40:10
Speaker 1: thankful I am that you didn't steal it. So here
40:12
Speaker 1: we go. Okay, We open on a cottage on skid row.
40:18
Speaker 1: The inhabitants of said cottage are Lady mush Nick, her
40:21
Speaker 1: daughter's Grazella and Anastasia, and her stepdaughter sinder Krellborne, so
40:26
Speaker 1: called because she must make her bed in the cinders
40:29
Speaker 1: of the fireplace, which is very hot and Bernie. Lady
40:33
Speaker 1: Mushnick barely tolerates her stepdaughter, forcing her to do tons
40:36
Speaker 1: of chores and to serve as the physical laborer for
40:39
Speaker 1: the family's meager business, a pumpkin shop. Sindor Krellborne has
40:44
Speaker 1: no real education, no prospects, and no ambition, because when
40:48
Speaker 1: you live on skid Row, ain't no such thing. She
40:52
Speaker 1: sings out her feelings with a tune in my own
40:55
Speaker 1: little corner of skid Row Downtown. Her stepsisters tell her
40:59
Speaker 1: to shut up. Cinder crew Born hears that the local
41:03
Speaker 1: palace is to throw a magnificent ball in order for
41:05
Speaker 1: the resident prince to meet all suitable well suitors. She
41:10
Speaker 1: dreams of getting to see the palace, to wear a
41:12
Speaker 1: magnificent gown, and to perhaps even catch sight of the
41:15
Speaker 1: Prince himself. But of course she's a lowly orphan working
41:19
Speaker 1: in a pumpkin shop on skid Row. However, she does
41:23
Speaker 1: have one thing going for her. A few weeks earlier,
41:25
Speaker 1: she had been at the village market looking at pumpkin
41:28
Speaker 1: plant cuttings to try and help create stronger pumpkin plants
41:31
Speaker 1: for the shop. Back home, when there was a total
41:34
Speaker 1: liclipse of the sun, which we hear about in a
41:37
Speaker 1: song called Bippity Boppity Dadoo. After a weird flash of
41:42
Speaker 1: light and a sound as if something from another world.
41:45
Speaker 1: There's a big golden pumpkin plant sitting where Sinder Crewbourne
41:49
Speaker 1: was sure nothing had been before. But the old man
41:52
Speaker 1: running the shops sold it to her anyway for a
41:54
Speaker 1: dollar ninety five, and she took it back home. She
41:58
Speaker 1: called it the gust gust Us in honor of Gus
42:01
Speaker 1: Gus the bouse. The pumpkin was like no other, with
42:05
Speaker 1: a mouth and teeth and stuff very odd. Sindor Crelbourne
42:10
Speaker 1: takes the pumpkin plant out and puts it on display,
42:13
Speaker 1: and it quickly starts to get the attention of the neighborhood.
42:17
Speaker 1: On the one hand, Lady Mushnik is thrilled she suddenly
42:20
Speaker 1: has customers and the money starts to enter the family coffers.
42:24
Speaker 1: On the other hand, she supremely irritated that Sindor Crelbourne
42:27
Speaker 1: is getting more attention than her own daughters, and she
42:30
Speaker 1: consistently finds excuses to push Sindor Crelbourne into the background.
42:35
Speaker 1: And the ball is getting closer. Sindor creelbourne step sisters
42:38
Speaker 1: both plan on going, but Sindor Crelbourne still has no
42:41
Speaker 1: plans of her own, and then one night after the
42:44
Speaker 1: shop closes and sinder Crelbourne is crying in the cinders
42:48
Speaker 1: because her stepsisters have been cruel and she has no
42:51
Speaker 1: hope of going to the ball Gus Gus Gus, the
42:54
Speaker 1: pumpkin actually speaks to Sindor Crelbourne. It asks her to
42:58
Speaker 1: feed it, and Sindor crell Born doesn't know what to do,
43:01
Speaker 1: but then the plant launches into a song called Impossible
43:05
Speaker 1: about a talking plant. In the middle of the song
43:08
Speaker 1: is a big dance number with the mice, but gust
43:10
Speaker 1: Gus loses his balance and as he falls, Gus gust
43:13
Speaker 1: Gus manages to chomped down on his namesake. Sindor Crelbourne
43:17
Speaker 1: is at first horrified, but then the plant grows much
43:20
Speaker 1: bigger before her eyes and promises her that if she
43:22
Speaker 1: feeds it, it will make her dreams come true. It's
43:25
Speaker 1: her fairy gord mother, and it fulfills her. What follows
43:32
Speaker 1: is a montage of sinder Crelbourne feeding her animal friends
43:36
Speaker 1: no mice and birds and stuff to the hungry pumpkin,
43:40
Speaker 1: which chomps down in those little suckers like their hallopennial poppers.
43:43
Speaker 1: At t g I f Soon the pumpkin plant is
43:46
Speaker 1: the size of a carriage, and it tries to convince
43:49
Speaker 1: Sindor Crelbourne to feed it larger critters, something Sindor Crelbourne resists,
43:54
Speaker 1: and the night before the ball, Cinder Crelbourne is caught
43:57
Speaker 1: out by her two step sisters, who find her arguing
44:00
Speaker 1: with gust Gus Gus. They crow over their discovery and
44:03
Speaker 1: then complain that Sinder Crewlborne gets all the luck by
44:06
Speaker 1: finding a magic plant, and they sing the step sister's lament,
44:10
Speaker 1: and at the peak of their song, Gus gus Gus
44:13
Speaker 1: eats them both, leaving only their feet behind. Sindor Crelborne
44:17
Speaker 1: is horrified and relieved at the same time, and the
44:20
Speaker 1: toughest choice she now has to make is does she
44:23
Speaker 1: take Drasilla's dress or Anastasia's dress. Gust Gus Gus tells
44:27
Speaker 1: her to go with Grazella's outfit, but Anastasia's shoes, which
44:31
Speaker 1: are still on her dismembered feet. Sindor Crolborne goes to
44:34
Speaker 1: the ball and meets the Prince. They share a dance,
44:37
Speaker 1: but just then she spotted by Lady Mushnik, who is
44:40
Speaker 1: looking for her own daughters, who are supposed to be
44:42
Speaker 1: at the ball. Mushnik tries to confront Sindor Crelborne at midnight,
44:46
Speaker 1: who then turns tail and runs home, which happens to
44:49
Speaker 1: be supper time for gust gust Gus. Another song. The
44:54
Speaker 1: Prince follows behind Sinder Crowlborne gets home with Mushnik right
44:57
Speaker 1: there with her. She confronts Sindr Cralbo, but then sees
45:00
Speaker 1: how big gust gust Gus has grown and is amazed.
45:03
Speaker 1: She tells Cindr Crelbourne that she'll release her from her
45:06
Speaker 1: duties if Sindor Crelborne just explains how to take care
45:10
Speaker 1: of the plant. Cinder Crelbourne, seeing no other option, lures
45:14
Speaker 1: mush It closer to gus gus Gus, who then promptly
45:16
Speaker 1: eats Cinder crelborne stepmother, just as the Prince comes in.
45:21
Speaker 1: The Prince sees gust gus Gus slurp down Mushnik's leg
45:24
Speaker 1: and screams, at which point gus gus Gus grabs the
45:27
Speaker 1: Prince and eats him too. Charming, says gus gust Gus.
45:32
Speaker 1: Sindr Crelbourne, horrified, grabs a nearby axe and leaps into
45:36
Speaker 1: the pumpkins, gaping, maw helping hoping to rescue the prince,
45:40
Speaker 1: and we fade to black as we hear the last
45:42
Speaker 1: song that Don't Feed the plants Waltz the end. Huh.
45:50
Speaker 1: I was about to stay with the original Indigo Little
45:53
Speaker 1: Shop I can tell, I can tell, and and kind
45:56
Speaker 1: of the more original Cinderella story too. Yeah, feet uh
46:01
Speaker 1: horrible nous. I was gonna say, that's closer than we've
46:04
Speaker 1: gotten on almost any other mashups so far, though. Yeah,
46:09
Speaker 1: I decided to also have a few Rodgers and Hammerstein
46:14
Speaker 1: nods in mind, just as you did yours. I picked
46:16
Speaker 1: up on those, so that was fun because of course,
46:19
Speaker 1: you know, we also had nods to the Disney version
46:23
Speaker 1: of Cinderella, so that was fun. But yeah, you can
46:26
Speaker 1: you can understand why I won't be writing any treatments
46:29
Speaker 1: for Disney's fairy Tale division anytime soon, but you might
46:33
Speaker 1: have a future with Marvel. But dear listeners, if you
46:38
Speaker 1: have a better idea of how Little Shop of Horrors
46:41
Speaker 1: and Cinderella should be mashed up, or if you want
