nerdy so Luke's not with us this week no he's he's really sick apparently which
0:56
is not funny I guess but I don't know why I laughed is that what you derived
1:00
from this text message I've been throwing up the lady hour yeah I think
1:04
he meant the last hour that's not what he said though I've been throwing up the
1:07
lady hour yeah so you have to interpret his messages sometimes yeah you really
1:14
do I'm uh I'm house sitting and I I got up this morning I realized that there's
1:18
no coffee machine or anything here there there's no coffee in this house so
1:23
because it's God I mean it's it's fairly early here it's not as early as we've
1:26
had to do things in the past it's it's like 8:30 a.m. but I got up at about
1:31
6:00 and I was you know to get ready and stuff and then mhm I was like oh got to
1:36
look your best that's right for this audio podcast yeah uh so I was like oh
1:41
[ __ ] I got to find coffee there isn't any so I had to go for a drive and uh
1:45
the only thing open was a 7-Eleven so I'm drinking a delicious okay 7-Eleven
1:50
coffee M now that didn't happen to cost less than 75 cents did it no it was like
1:55
a a130 but I got a large one it's not it's not that bad it's it's coffee they
2:00
don't do uh lates and things here as much so it's just brw coffee it's hard
2:05
to screw it up I don't mind that Matt to be honest I am a big fan good Brew yeah
2:11
it's hard to screw it up really yeah yeah some are better than others I uh I
2:16
was denied entry to a cinema yesterday cuz I was holding a soy iced vanilla
2:22
latte from Starbucks they were like no no
2:28
wankers yeah that's right no metrosexuals what' you see I know what
2:35
the answer is but uh yeah I'm going to ask cuz the listeners don't know I saw a
2:39
little movie called alien Cove and ant um independent fil which uh was yeah
2:45
yeah didn't see the ant but I guess it's cuz they're quite small uh I'm not going
2:51
to talk about this at all before you see I'm sorry I asked then well I mean it's
2:56
kind of your fault I I'd be blabbing but uh you haven't seen it I actually did go
3:02
to the movies yesterday but I didn't see that what did you see what did you see
3:07
that you thought was going to be better than alien Covenant I saw again I saw
3:10
Guardians 2 again okay well I can't really fult you for that that's also a
3:14
great movie yeah and cuz Jenna was working so I just with a friend to see
3:19
it again cuz I was like [ __ ] yeah I'll watch that again don't say with a friend
3:23
like that and have it and expect it not to sound like dodgy Jenna was away so I
3:29
went with a friend all right I went with Gareth did I ever tell you uh when my
3:34
bank called me after hours one night and the woman told my ex that uh she was a
3:40
friend instead of just [ __ ] saying she worked for the
3:44
bank that's weird yeah so it's about 8:00 in the
3:49
evening and uh the phone rings she goes to answer it and I just hear this no
3:55
[ __ ] tell me who you are and I'm like what and then she comes into me she's
4:00
like uh there's a friend on the phone for you Chucks me the phone and storms
4:05
out I'm like [ __ ] who is this yeah hi this is uh the whoever the [ __ ] my name
4:10
is from the bank what so I sorry to call you after hours we just you know finally
4:15
figured out this blah blah blah blah blah like when you call my house can you
4:18
not say to my [ __ ] girlfriend oh it's a a friend yeah that's in a weird creepy
4:24
way that's [ __ ] weird why would you say that don't [ __ ] do that oh it's
4:28
just friend never met or spoke before yeah future friend I won't won't tell
4:33
you my name friend to be yeah hopefully good
4:37
friends it's [ __ ] weird well what did you think of of alien Cove and ant uh
4:44
generally speaking okay so I really really enjoyed it mhm there's some great stuff in
4:50
there tonally it couldn't be more different to Prometheus and I don't
4:56
think I was expecting quite as much a departure it's as different from
5:00
Prometheus as aliens was to alien oh like it's a totally different tone of
5:06
film that's interesting but it does uh it answers a lot of questions it asks a
5:13
lot of new ones right and anything I could say beyond that would be a spoiler
5:17
so um I'm G to I'm going to leave it at that I liked it okay I'm going to see it
5:21
this week uh definitely so uh so next
5:25
weeks I'm interested to hear uh how you
5:29
feel about it I did really like it yeah but I could also understand if
5:36
somebody was disappointed by it okay well I'm one of the people that likes
5:40
Prometheus which apparently more and more people now it's kind of actually
5:44
pissed me off a little bit cuz all these articles start like it they're like oh
5:48
yeah actually in you know in reviewing it before alien Covenant Prometheus
5:52
wasn't that bad I'm like yeah I know it [ __ ] wasn't I liked it when I saw it
5:55
[ __ ] great yes we saw it together we were like well that was the best thing
5:59
ever and we on the Internet it's like [ __ ] Ridley has ruined the alien
6:02
franchise like no it was pretty good actually it was different it was you
6:06
know I already saw alien I didn't need to see it again yeah well you'll see it
6:11
again here all right cool well it's been a little while since
6:16
I watched alien original so yeah no this is definitely closer to the first alien
6:20
in tone Oh okay cool but ah anyway just
6:25
watch it um I we said we would wait for Luke to talk about Guardians 2
6:30
uh but he's not here now and I I kind of want to talk about it a bit because I
6:35
actually I saw it again yesterday and I also when I got back last night I
6:38
watched the first one again oh okay because I I just [ __ ] love those
6:44
movies but also cuz Guardians 2 is really good and I was like you know how
6:51
we had said I thought I thought the first one was maybe better but I wasn't
6:55
sure if it was just because it surprised me so much when I saw it cuz I didn't
6:59
really know anything about those characters and and the tone of it was
7:04
just different to the other Marvel movies it was just very refreshing yeah
7:08
exactly and so I rewatched the first one last night and [ __ ] it's so good yeah
7:14
they both are but I I think the first one is still my like still my favorite
7:18
of them like it's [ __ ] really good no I haven't rewatched the first one but in
7:23
my head it's excellent yeah in my head it's the best still like the characters
7:29
are less kind of defin in a way I think rocket has more to do in the first one
7:34
than he does in the second one I think uh but think some of the funny moments
7:40
and like you know the introduction of Drax and everything it's all just so
7:44
good plus has uh this big spaceship battle at the end yeah there's a lot
7:48
going on in that first movie the second one feels smaller to me somehow it feels
7:54
more contained yeah even though the the scale of things is a lot I won't spoil
7:58
it then even though the scale of things is larger in number two technically
8:01
speaking like like literally the the stakes are a lot higher uh yeah it feels
8:07
more personal that's what I like about it I think it because it is this big kind of
8:13
Disaster Movie in a way like it's a a summer blockbuster but it's not really
8:17
it's it's more about the people they've all got [ __ ] going on not I mean you
8:23
know the the Galaxy is going to be destroyed but it's really about how some
8:28
guy feels about his dad right and two sisters and their relationship and and
8:32
yeah and and rocket and uh and yondu and you know like rockets he's
8:38
insecurities but uh when I I knew that I wanted to watch it right and and cuz I'm
8:42
here I've been here since uh Thursday and uh so I didn't I didn't have it on
8:47
hand and I was like how can I get a copy of it to watch without ideally without
8:52
without having to Pirate it because I you know prefer to support James gun
8:57
yeah and uh so I was looking on the various digital stores and I
9:02
noticed uh I I don't know what made me think of it but I thought you know what
9:05
I might like to listen to the director's commentary for for for this film cuz I
9:10
actually haven't haven't done that in so long I used to love director's
9:13
commentary that's true like as a film geek that was a thing I really used to
9:17
enjoy was just sitting down with a beer and watching a film the director's
9:21
commentary absolutely but they don't they don't have them the digitals
9:26
anymore well yeah right no they do there you got to buy the Blu-ray oh they they
9:31
still do them on the Blu-ray yeah and then so so that led me to to kind of
9:36
Google and now I'm a bit I guess I guess worried just like is that going to are
9:42
they going to be like a casualty of the digital digital thing cuz I guess people
9:46
just aren't as interested in them like like we're interested in them but the
9:49
the general Public's probably not going to do that well the thing is they only
9:53
put that [ __ ] on DVDs to get people to buy a DVD instead of renting D but then
10:00
that well that I I'll buy them now cuz I was like you know what that is that is a
10:04
good reason for me to buy Guardians of the Galaxy on D on on Blu-ray versus
10:09
yeah some other platform but that was always the reason yeah it it's just to
10:14
to to increase the value yeah of that and make it more valuable to you to buy
10:18
than to rent yeah and I guess you're now faced with that same thing yeah yeah
10:24
that's right well cuz Netflix doesn't have it and uh you know even if I obtain it I me
10:30
[ __ ] you can't buy DVDs or Blu-Rays here right you just cannot don't sell them
10:35
anywhere they do not no no I was I was going to buy Rogue one on Blu-ray just
10:41
because I've got all the other Star Wars on Blu-ray couldn't ended up having to
10:45
get it from iTunes and thankfully that did come with special features but yeah
10:49
they just don't have the commentary track which is weird right cuz they
10:51
could just include it you can change audio tracks it could just be another
10:54
audio track yeah it wouldn't cost him a thing so yeah I don't know but can buy
11:00
uh and this is the one I'm going to get is you can get in the case of Guardians
11:04
of the Galaxy it's it's the 3D Blu-ray which I don't care about but it comes
11:08
with the 3D Blu-ray a normal Blu-ray and then a digital copy which you can claim
11:13
on either iTunes or uh several other platforms your preference so I like
11:20
that's pretty good yeah it cost like a I think it's it's
11:25
$25 vers instead of you know like if you if you buy just the standard version I
11:31
think it's like 15 but then that doesn't have the bonus stuff too sometimes well
11:35
there you go when you claim your digital copy can you only unlock that one time
11:41
so once you've made your decision say you choose iTunes that's it you're done
11:46
I think so I'll report back I'm going to or does it give you because I me you've
11:52
bought you've bought the film you've bought the rights to watch that film by
11:56
purchasing the Blu-ray yeah maybe it just unlocks everything and now you've
12:00
just got the rights to watch that everywhere yeah probably not though you
12:04
know what I'll say this Matt I'll say this watching alien Covenant in the
12:09
theater yesterday made me remember and and I remember this every time how much
12:15
I [ __ ] hate Cinemas nowadays yeah
12:20
like the cinema I was in they didn't even Turn All the Lights Off there were
12:25
still some pretty bright lights like on the edge of the chairs and stuff and
12:29
like when I was in when I was a kid in the cinema it used to be dark yeah and
12:33
it was like turn your [ __ ] phone off it was like a like a ritual almost and
12:39
they hadn't decided back then and somewhere along the line they made the
12:42
decision that Subzero Antarctic temperature was the way to go I know
12:48
it's terrible I don't [ __ ] understand like I rugged up and this is not a
12:52
country where people [ __ ] wear like long sleeves but I was rugged up and I
12:58
was still too cold to properly enjoy the film yeah so I know for years they've
13:04
been talking about day and dat simultaneous release and when they
13:08
eventually do start doing that with new release movies I'm not going to the
13:12
cinema anymore yeah but that's the thing that's why they that's why they haven't
13:15
done it is cuz the the theaters you know lose their [ __ ] cuz yeah well you know
13:21
what all they have to do is not be so [ __ ] yeah I know but but you can have
13:25
like a giant screen at home you can have like suround sound at home now like
13:29
yeah you know what I don't even have a giant screen or surround town I still
13:33
prefer to watch it at home yeah same I mean my screen's fairly large compared
13:37
to the compar to the [ __ ] TVs we had when we were you say so yourself yeah
13:42
yeah yeah and they're also not square and they don't kind of Bulge out of the
13:47
center just a little bit with rounded Corners um speaking of I have two things
13:52
that I want to lead into uh and I don't know which one to go with first but
13:57
while we're talking about Cinemas did you see uh this guy is suing his
14:03
date uh he took a girl on a date I guess I don't know whether he knew her
14:08
beforehand or if he met no he didn't apparently they met online and this was
14:12
their first date right right was a 37y Old Gentleman Brandon vmar from Austin
14:19
Texas and I believe they were at the Alamo Draft House uh which is a oh okay
14:23
[ __ ] excellent Cinema uh don't forget and uh the Alamo Draft House would never
14:29
forget it I saw a rival there [ __ ] top movie Top theater uh but he's now
14:34
suing his date for $17.31 which is the price he paid uh for
14:40
the ticket for a 3D showing of Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 because uh his
14:45
date a 35-year-old woman was texting the
14:49
whole time during the film and uh he eventually had to go at her and said why
14:55
don't you go do that in the lobby and so she was like fine I will and she just
14:59
left and never came back no stranded him stranded him
15:04
like but yeah stranded him at the cinema and so uh so he's now suing it for the
15:09
price of the ticket which I think is [ __ ] stupid but uh well he's making a
15:13
point and you know well he go from making a point but then it got into the
15:17
newspaper obviously and and now now it's been spread around the internet quite a
15:22
bit and uh and somebody one of the one of the some
15:26
journalist uh contacted her and said oh you know what's going on with about this
15:31
lawsuit and she was like oh my God this is [ __ ] crazy yeah which it is cuz he apparently
15:37
I mean he contacted her her younger sister trying to get trying to extort
15:42
money for the ticket from her as well what yeah seems like okay so this
15:47
is not just a stunt this guy actually literally did try to get money back from
15:50
her I think maybe he's just crazy okay I've suddenly switched teams yeah I know
15:56
but uh even James gun knows about this and uh and he he said why stop it suing
16:02
she deserves jail time well you know even the alamoo Draft
16:07
House have issued a public statement right did you see this Tim League the
16:11
founder and CEO has said this quote I'm conflicted on one hand I'm concerned
16:17
about our courts being clogged with Superfluous lawsuits but as VMA states
16:21
there is a threat to civilized society in order to save the time of the courts
16:26
the Alamo is willing to help put this to bed and he
16:38
[Music]
17:30
yeah wow he's clanking all these [ __ ] plates and cups as he's rushing over
17:35
that's right going you are causing a nuisance but like how how is this woman
17:41
able to to text the whole time during the film if that's that's how they
17:44
handle things I don't know yeah true she's covert about it perhaps but were you
17:50
in like a special part of the Alamo
17:53
Draft House I don't think so like if you can order food does that mean you were
17:59
in the uh the Gold Class no I think you can just do that at the Elmo Draft House
18:03
really that's that's the impression I you pay more you like you didn't pay $25
18:07
ticket or anything no no no I mean I had to pay for the food but but no yeah no
18:12
no no you okay as far as I understand it you go in there and then you you went in a big
18:17
armchair uh the seats are pretty comfy it's a nice theater there a reason
18:23
it's uh it's you know it's Quenton Tarantino's favorite theater it's like
18:27
people cuz you uh there's a menu there and if you want something like another
18:31
beer or something cuz they bring you beer and and drinks and stuff you just
18:35
write it on a little ticket and stick it in a there's a little slot like uh you
18:42
know the paper sticks up in front of you and then they'll see it come over grab
18:45
it and they bring you what you wanted and then at the end they bring
18:49
around a a check and you pay for it well I must say that's that's pretty cool hey
18:54
do you remember when we were in San Francisco and we went to the Castro
18:57
theater to see 2001 Space Odyssey yeah that was cool yeah
19:01
coincidentally right uh someone I work with now who I hired as my associate
19:08
producer her boyfriend is the curator at
19:13
the Castro and it was him that selected that movie that we watched that night
19:18
that's cool yeah oh well good choice yeah everyone good choice of film or
19:23
good choice of boyfriend both good choice for me hiring an associate
19:27
producer who has a cool boyfriend both I think all yeah all of the above all of
19:33
the above um and the other thing I wanted to to Branch off from from what
19:38
we were talking about with the director's commentary is uh my my my
19:43
Googling online to see because I was trying to see if if there were any
19:46
Digital Services that include the commentary which apparently there are
19:50
not really none none uh but I found an
19:54
article about uh just coincidentally a bunch of funny
19:59
you know uh director's commentaries that are worth listening to and I found I
20:04
don't know if you have ever heard this the director's commentary or it's not
20:09
even director's commentary it's Ben Affleck's commentary for
20:12
Armageddon oh and the article says uh I didn't know this but
20:18
apparently after he got quite famous Ben Affleck also had kind of an alcohol
20:23
problem and he went to rehab but just
20:26
just before that he did the uh he did a commentary track for the Armageddon
20:33
DVD and I want to play you a clip now from apparently this is on the DVD or it
20:39
used to be I don't know if they they changed I don't know why they would put
20:43
this on here but this is Ben Affleck uh his commentary for
20:47
Armageddon I asked Michael why easier to train oil drillers to become astronuts
20:53
than it was to train astronauts to become oil drillers and he told me to
20:56
shut shut shut the [ __ ] up that was the end of that talk she like you know Ben
21:01
just shut up okay you know this is a real plan all right I was like you mean
21:06
it's a real plan at Nasa to train oil drillers he like just shut your
21:12
mouth see here's where we demonstrate that because Bruce is going to tell the
21:15
guys that they did a bad job of building the drill
21:19
tank he did a py he's a Sal of the earth guy and the NASA neron knuts don't uh
21:26
don't understand his salt to the Earth ways his Rough and Tumble ways yeah
21:31
that's right well that's because your cans are like somehow they can build
21:34
rocket ships but they don't understand like what makes a good
21:39
[ __ ] we've had training for eight
21:41
months fantastic oh man oh that is great
21:46
uh there's a certain sarcasm in that that is also present in one of the two
21:53
commentary tracks on the Evil Dead DVD you remember sure like
21:59
because uh yeah first of all you you watch it with Sam Ry and um who's the
22:03
producer of that movie uh Rob tap it tap
22:07
it that's it you watch theirs and then
22:11
you watch it again with Bruce Campbell basically just saying now they'll tell
22:17
you this but that is not what happened that's right yeah and I love they point
22:23
out all the mistakes on it too like Oh there's uh there's one of the grips in
22:27
shot good work right well that scene where his um his feet he's going down to
22:33
the basement the first time and his feet are coming down the stairs in a closeup
22:36
and he's like yep those moccasins I'm wearing were chosen specifically because
22:40
Sam Ry thought these are the one shoe that will never go out of
22:44
style yeah see commentaries are great I know mind you I used to have a lot more
22:51
time on my hand yeah I I thought that too actually I was like how the [ __ ] did
22:54
I watch so many of them I guess I just didn't didn't do anything else little else to
23:01
do yeah I was yeah little else to do and just dreamed of one day doing our own
23:06
director's comment is he going to do commentary for the tail
23:09

23:15
could do it he what what day does this
23:18

23:25

28:04
sure I point out this is a very old article but it's oh is it yeah look at
28:09
it how old oh [ __ ] 2009 still it's funny
28:15
oh man okay so this guy who's like [ __ ] 20 something years old
28:20
now um has this expired is this too old to talk about I'm disappointed whatever
28:25
it's funny see it's funny because I I ran this through snope just to make sure
28:30
that it wasn't a hoax this definitely does look like something that could
28:34
potentially be fake news and I already had to delete something from the
28:38
spreadsheet this week because it was fake news uh on the internet come on
28:44
this is an article about a kid who by
28:48
pure chance the acne on his face spells
28:51
out the word ass a r s e on his forehead
28:58
oh man and the look on this kid's
29:02
face cuz I wondered if uh I mean it's been a while since I had bad acne thank
29:08
goodness but I wondered if if if he had like or somebody had drawn something on
29:12
his head like and in in chocolate yeah or whatever and then it had like his
29:19
acne had formed oh you it doesn't say that but yeah theant was I don't know
29:25
why because honestly this looks like [ __ ] four letters right yeah you know
29:31
it looks like the word ass it says Ass poor guy
29:37
terrible I like this comment 2009 though we probably had a fringe that covered
29:40
his forehead I know I did yeah that's bad for acne though isn't it yeah I
29:46
guess so I don't know it's been a while since I've had bad skin too it's been a
29:49
while since I've had enough hair at the front to have a fringe so don't be like
29:53
that you could go out right from the back all the way over eventually I'm sure I will
30:00
yeah I like this comment stay strong dude it's easy for people to laugh at
30:04
stuff like this it's harder to keep your chin up and stand firm you'll be strong
30:07
the stronger man anyone who ribs you for it can rot Karma will see to them geez
30:12
all right [ __ ] yeah that's right come on
30:16
I mean it's it's pretty funny uh this this article is just from the other day
30:22
uh this kid Davis kpe uh which is an odd name name Davis
30:29
Harry Potter character surely uh he sadly has passed away uh at
30:36
16 years old due to caffeine induced
30:39
cardiac event causing a pro probable
30:43
arhythmia and when I saw this it terrified me because I drink quite a lot
30:48
of coffee uh generally speaking I've been trying to cut down but I haven't
30:52
been that successful because I just I forget that I'm trying to cut down
30:54
sometimes and I'm like I'm drinking it again um that's it's not a joke get up
31:00
I'm like that with my sex [Laughter] addiction but this uh this kid uh
31:06
drank a McDonald's latte a large Mountain Dew and then an energy drink in
31:12
just under two hours and I'm sure I've I've also [ __ ] me man that is
31:16
terrifyingly not much because I I've
31:19
done that for sure yeah I've uh I've definitely gone over my daily
31:26
recommended dose of red yeah and I didn't die I've drunk too
31:32
much energy drink like say coffee and I I don't know couldn't can't remember
31:38
what combo is but it's happened you know a couple of times in my life where I've
31:43
become concerned by my jitteriness and I was like you know what I have had too
31:49
much caffeine cuz I feel like I feel [ __ ] crazy right now yeah yeah and as
31:54
I get older that number is smaller and smaller
31:58
yeah but uh I've never died obviously uh
32:04
so this is terrifying yeah now I'll point out some doctors have said ah he
32:10
probably had a pre-existing heart condition I don't think you can uh the
32:14
article says he had no pre-existing heart condition but some well a
32:18
journalist did know more than a doctor yeah some other articles about it the
32:24
people were skeptical of that cuz they're like well I don't know medal
32:28
Community have kind of come out in chorus saying couldn't be that yeah he
32:33
uh it must have been something else cuz you have to drink to die you have to
32:40
drink a lot of caffeine like you can feel awful mhm for drinking too much of it
32:47
but you you unless you've got something wrong with you know your heart or
32:50
whatever probably not going to die I don't think then again I'm not a doctor
32:54
so no that's true but we are journalists so we weigh in on this I do have a lot
32:59
of also say this well that's a kind of evidence Davis KP are you looking at
33:05
this picture of him here just just look at the picture yeah does this or does
33:09
this not look like some dude who would have hung out with our group oh in the
33:14
late 90s absolutely if if this guy had arrived at one of our parties with Owen
33:20
for example yeah and ow had said this is my friend Davis kbe like this guy would
33:24
have fit right in with us yeah he's got an full of energy drinks and he's going
33:29
to drink them all we would have been like [ __ ] what a badass he's going to
33:32
he's going to come in he's going to take off his trench coat and he's going to
33:35
put his s of energy drinks down yep connect up to our land Y and
33:41
then dive a heart attack
33:46
yeah yeah so yeah this terrified me well hasn't terrified me enough to to stop
33:53
drinking coffee but yeah maybe I should cut down a bit well no come on the
33:58
coffee here is not as strong though you just have your one 7-Eleven brand coffee
34:03
a day you'll be fine yeah normally I have more than that actually i' been
34:07
drinking um Java Monsters which I know I shouldn't drink the [ __ ] is a Java
34:13
monster it's a Monster energy drink but it's like a coffee one it's like
34:17
a like it's actually like you know got like milk and coffee in it oh yeah oh
34:23
sounds terrific yeah they're delicious but I'm sure they're probably really bad for me
34:28
yeah but what isn't Matt good point do we have any happier
34:34
happier news happier stories what we got happy
34:39
stories new girls been renewed for another season well it sort of has uh
34:45
and it almost wasn't um cuz I've said before on the show I'm a fan of New Girl
34:50
and uh I convinced you to give it a shot and yeah you got into it begrudgingly I
34:55
gave it a shot and then got into it although I think I am a series or so
34:59
behind now okay well the the the season
35:03
six I think just aired and uh it was good and it kind
35:10
of it ended at a place that apparently Fox thought was probably fine to just
35:16
end it and uh and then everybody involved in the show was like oh are you
35:21
[ __ ] serious no and so they apparently went back and forth on it and
35:24
it it basically Pard me it basically was cancelled uh
35:29
until eventually they they pitched and pitched and pitched and now they've been
35:33
approved to do a eight episode final
35:38
season that set three years after season 6 cuz that's apparently that's the only
35:44
way they could convince him to let him wrap the story up and so they had to
35:48
come up with you know cuz yeah there's a few a few
35:52
threads kind of uh not wrap up but kind of meet at the end of season six and so
35:59
yeah I guess they were like oh that'll do so cuz they canceled a bunch bunch of
36:03
[ __ ] uh recently well I mean it's kind of up to the network and not the actors
36:08
when shows get started and cancelled yeah so I think uh they they they
36:12
convinced them to let him do do this ending thing uh it's a shame because I
36:17
think it's a good show it's funny I like it and it uh it's a nice nice show but
36:22
uh so I'm happy we get an ending of sorts I've said have I said I'm sure
36:26
I've told you this I don't know I've said it on the podcast though I think we
36:29
were talking about in New York whenever I see um what the [ __ ] is his real name
36:36
uh Jake Johnson the guy plays Nick Miller Nick yeah every time I see Jake
36:41
Johnson in something for some reason my brain thinks that he's Nick Miller and
36:48
cuz I don't want to spoil it but it's it's not the kind of thing that that you
36:52
need to worry about he writes a book in season six like he kind of becomes an
36:57
author and so you know cuz you know he's in Jurassic world as well as a bitp but
37:02
he's in the new Mummy uh yes and he's in the trailer and
37:07
when I first saw that trailer I was like oh he's he's doing well off the success of his
37:13
book and then I was like no [ __ ] he's not his character but I I can't
37:17
separate them for some reason and even like he did a little independent comedy
37:21
film and I was like I want to see Nick Miller's new film it's not Nick
37:25
Miller I don't know what I don't know why just whenever I see that guy he just
37:29
is the character he's too good he's too good at it he's too good at Nick Miller
37:35
y I'm looking forward to seeing the
37:38
mummy because I mean it looks awful
37:42
right but Tom Cruz usually makes fairly good decisions when it comes to choosing
37:47
films yeah yeah also I found out recently because obviously this is the
37:54
mummy uh as
37:58
was was a [ __ ] me can I just not talk I've infected you whatever with
38:04
whatever I can't do it now let's go again this is all staying in the
38:11
uh Universal Studios in the 1930s came out with a movie about The
38:16
Mummy one about Frankenstein one about Dracula one about the wolf man right
38:20
yeah and in this age where it's all about franchise movies and uh Marvel are
38:26
doing all of their movies and tying all their universes together and [ __ ] you
38:30
know Warner Brothers doing all their DC rebooting and tying all these movies
38:35
together Sony are doing the same with all their X-Men and Stuff Plus they're
38:40
they're now rebooting Spider-Man with the Spider-Man you've seen in the
38:43
[ __ ] other ones and anyway yeah the only franchisable property that univers
38:49
will have are their monsters yeah and so expect to next see either a Frankenstein
38:55
a wolf man or a Dracula yeah absolutely but I also did you know Dr Jackal and Mr
39:02
Hyde is in the mummy I didn't know that yeah I I was
39:07
reading some article the other day let me just pull it out like as in in this
39:10
this film it's in yes huh
39:13
yes first look at Mr Hyde in the mummy um right I don't want to spoil
39:19
everything here but it's an Australian act by the name of uh Rasel
39:25
Crow I knew he was in it I didn't know that's who his character was oh yeah
39:29
yeah he plays [ __ ] Dr Jackel and Mr Hyde so they're really going for it now
39:35
I will say this when I was a kid [ __ ] loved movie monster crossovers oh yeah
39:40
so you know too quickly remember van
39:46
Hing unfortunately I do um that just reminded me I mentioned
39:52
uh arrival earlier cuz I saw it at the Alo Draft House I also listened to uh
39:56
the Q&A with Jeff Goldsmith recently for arrival oh yep it's good podcast
40:01
listeners if you're into film uh and he was talking to the screenwriter of
40:05
arrival whose Name Escapes me but he told this story of how he uh
40:11
wrote he was writing a screenplay uh and when he was trying to pitch it to
40:15
Studios they said oh okay so uh what What's it based on what existing
40:20
property in or franchise is it part of and he was like oh it's not and they're
40:23
like oh we're not interested so he went uh he he decided
40:29
to create his own kind of link to it he
40:33
made a website uh that kind of set it was a horror film and he he made a
40:38
website that was like a a fake uh true
40:42
story of the film that he had written and he updated it all the time and he he
40:49
got kind of it apparently just blew up on on the internet at one point and then
40:53
that's how he was able to sell that script so he just in they were like
40:57
what's it based on nothing so he went away and just invented the thing that it
41:01
was based on yeah wait arrival no no no not arrival convinced the studio that
41:06
[ __ ] arrival was really happening no no no not arrival the horror a horror
41:10
film that he did before arrival arrival is an adaptation short story sure which
41:14
uh which apparently also they couldn't uh sell to anyone oh yeah he told this
41:17
story uh you've seen arriv rival yeah I have listeners if you haven't seen it
41:21
you won't understand this but if you have you you will apparently a producer
41:26
he he sent the script to them and one of the notes he got from from some studio
41:30
he didn't say who it was said you need to take out the
41:40
flashbacks he was like he was like did you did you read the whole
41:46
thing yeah yeah you have not understood this film at
41:53
all yeah I watched a movie recently all
41:58
right while I was on a plane that was an excellent movie MH
42:04
that I had not seen for many many years and think that in my head remembered it
42:10
as being not as good as it actually is
42:13
right sure I'm talking about The
42:18
Bodyguard with Kevin Cosner mate this is
42:22
a great film for starters it's written by Lawrence kdan right author of The
42:28
Empire Strikes Back and many other great films right and the man can write a
42:33
script yeah like this is a solid [ __ ] script and there's levels and levels of
42:39
[ __ ] in this movie that I never picked up on when I was a kid you know he he
42:44
goes to take it to a Samurai movie your Jimbo which is it's Japanese for
42:48
bodyguard like there's just all this [ __ ] in there you know just little things I
42:54
never realized like that she's this kind of R&B chick and he's this cowboy and
42:58
then she hears the song at the Cowboy bar and that's the song she sings at the
43:00
end like it's just it's such a [ __ ] well-made movie
43:05
huh but like in my head it's just some shitty [ __ ] romantic it's not [ __ ]
43:10
romantic right it's not romantic at all they [ __ ] once and then he gets all like
43:16
we shouldn't have [ __ ] and then she gets pissed off at
43:21
him I don't know I don't know that I've seen too make you watch it it came out
43:27
perfect time for you to watch this now I know it came out when I was young like I
43:30
was too young to watch it when it came out I'm sure yeah I think I probably
43:33
watched two but I really liked Kevin Cosner oh yeah yes listeners there was a
43:37
point where Kevin Cosner was my favorite actor yeah it's because of Robin Hood
43:42
yes Prince yes it is yes which I'm
43:46
scared to rewatch I'll be honest someone at work the other day I don't know how I
43:51
don't know what they were talking about I was walking through the lunchroom and
43:54
someone said oh I can't remember the name of bloody um
43:58
[ __ ] Christian slat's character in in Robin Hood prince of Thieves and I was
44:01
like you will scarlet and he went yeah that's it I uh but I also love that
44:06
there's a guy at your work that just [ __ ] out of the blue starts talking
44:09
about [ __ ] characters he's forgotten about from '90s movies well yeah see I
44:14
don't know what the conversation was before that but uh that was that was my
44:18
contribution but honest to God The Bodyguard [ __ ] watch it all right I
44:22
will yeah it's it got director's commentary and I hope so who's it directed by don't
44:29
even know hold on hold on when you typ in The
44:34
Bodyguard I amdb into uh into
44:39
Google The Bodyguard is the third one that comes up what is the what are the
44:45
others two other foreign language films come up before it does interesting okay
44:51
The Bodyguard is directed by somebody called Mike Jackson huh which is uh
44:56
Michael conning yeah oh we uh we posted this on the
45:02
Facebook earlier in the week but uh they're making a Witcher Netflix series
45:07
yeah I saw that so I'm going to have to pull my finger out and actually play
45:09
this goddamn game well it's not it's not related to the game it's uh based on the
45:13
books so you don't have to wait The Witcher is based on a book yeah the
45:18
witch is based on a series of books oh polish they're polish books uh
45:23
I can't pronounce his name and
45:26
Andre Ki wrote the books sure that's it he wrote the books and when they
45:32
originally approached him C Project R approached him and they said we'd like
45:35
to buy the rights uh to would license it to make a video game and he was like
45:40
fine and they said do you want uh do you want money up front or do you want
45:46
royalties and he was like well video games are [ __ ] stupid so I want money
45:50
now and they paid him a pittance here's your 200 bucks and now he's like a [ __ ]
45:57
[ __ ] the [ __ ] biggest video game ever yeah you know I think that's that's
46:04
probably worked the right way and the wrong way in equal numbers you know yeah
46:09
like you always hear about oh George Lucas was smart enough to to you know
46:13
not get paid up front and to only get you know points off the back end of the
46:18
of the merchandising rights but honest to God the very next guy that tried that
46:23
ended up bankrupt I guarantee it right because they pick up on it they're like
46:28
they they just they like oh okay that didn't work out well for us so they'll
46:31
just change it a little bit but yeah so it's going to be a
46:35
Netflix series uh based on the books we don't know a huge amount about it but it
46:39
reminded me that they had announced that there was going to be a Witcher film
46:43
coming out this year 2017 yeah that's right they did talk about that like a
46:47
bunch of times happening now no well when you Google wit a movie all the
46:52
there are a bunch of Articles from like you know over the last couple of years
46:55
saying 2017 switch a movie and then just nothing so I don't know what's going on
47:00
there like is this instead of that I presume it
47:05
ises because city project red wouldn't be able to make a movie right yeah
47:11
that's right they would have they would have the rights to make a video to make
47:14
video games and then sekowski would retain the rights to everything else I
47:20
presume yes unless when they negotiated the rights to the book they
47:25
negotiated excl exclusive rights and therefore if somebody wants to make a
47:30
movie they have to license the movie rights from them right well because
47:36
they're not involved series at all so oh is that right well there you go there's
47:40
your answer yeah so guess not [ __ ] I hope they do it properly then you know
47:47
yeah this could go Game of Thrones or this could go um Zena Warrior Princess
47:53
yeah I wouldn't think so I cuz he's subas is involved and he's very he's
48:00
very serious like the books are very serious they're good they're actually
48:05
really good I recommend them if you the first one in particular The Last Wish
48:09
it's a collection of short stories about geralt okay and uh yeah it's it's really
48:15
good so they haven't started this yet they're they're shooting it now
48:19
apparently they've they've begun uh begun production actually not
48:24
shooting but begun production that's great H it's
48:29
happening Matt have you watched
48:33
Riverdale no I've heard of it oh man
48:37
okay I this is he I [ __ ] hope he is I
48:41
think he mentioned it honest to God Matt
48:45
I when I heard they were doing a
48:49
modernday reboot of the Archy Comics I was like yeah I couldn't be less
48:54
interested in this right that's why I haven't watched it
48:57
and and then when I when I heard it was like this [ __ ] dark and gritty
49:01
[ __ ] teenage D was like oh ywn
49:06
right but then I saw a promo for
49:10
it that that compelled me to take a look
49:14
and yes it's a bit cheesy well no not cheesy that's the wrong word it's tongue and cheek
49:21
right the only way I can describe this
49:25
is if TN
49:28
Peaks had the cast of
49:32
Archie like it's a murder mystery set in
49:35
a small town right and like I said it's a bit tongue and cheek but
49:41
also it's it's kind of it's kind of pretty cool H like I really didn't want
49:48
to like this mat but you were and it made me like it
49:53
anyway all right and the funny thing is cuz I'm a few episodes in now I'm about
49:57
four episodes in all the adults in this
50:01
the actors used to be teen stars back in
50:05
the '90s really right yeah yeah so it's got um like it's got Luke Perry's in
50:11

51:00
watch did you watch this trailer for for the
51:04
AAL mate I I I saw just the the thumbnail for the trailer and decided I
51:10
have literally no interest in it uh yeah it so I didn't I didn't even
51:17
click on it I just this is not for me I don't think I was like oh a Star Trek parody
51:23
with Seth mcfallen and then yeah nah doesn't look very good to me CU
51:30
here's the thing I I don't like Seth McFarland now I I like Family Guy but I
51:35
don't want to see this guy's face I find it very unfunny right he's not a very
51:41
good actor like I mean not I mean great
51:45
making Family Guy yes he's a good voice no one can ever take that away from him
51:51
but he was in um I think he was in two episodes of Gilmore Girls and and he was
51:56
[ __ ] awful in both of them yeah he's terrible he's just not I mean yeah he's
52:01
a funny guy but uh yeah yeah I'm not not

into it no I didn't watch that Western he made either no I did
52:11
not or uh Ted where he was the bear haven't seen those no didn't watch that

52:24
comedy yeah sure you know what I mean like I'll watch an action comedy I'll
52:29
watch a horror comedy I'll watch a Sci-Fi comedy but if something just says

55:18
enjoying it I'm quite far in it now uh I've been playing over the last couple
55:21
of days but have you found the voice acting to be a bit [ __ ]
55:28
yeah like not it doesn't it doesn't worry me but I've just there's a couple
55:32
times where it's limited isn't it and and not only that the the they they
55:37
don't even the text is on the screen and they even say the wrong thing or the
55:41
wrong emphasis sometimes yeah yeah I I must say I noticed that too in fact at
55:48
one point I started thinking like were they like really like short of cash when
55:54
they came to do this is this around their office I I would have volunteered
55:58
you know professional podcaster here I know they they did audition people uh
56:03
it's just that yeah some of the lines they like um it's just like like the line
56:08
is the like on the screen it's no way I'm touching that but the performance is
56:13
no way I'm touching that like it's like what the [ __ ] it
56:18
just it just confused me I'm like but and cuz wouldn't you just say no no do
56:23
it again like I I just confused you paid
56:28
for one take and one take is all you will get I was just confused by
56:34
it I'm I've noticed that I do things from from doing the
56:39
podcast like uh like keep calling out the listeners no no no just like speech
56:45
mannerisms and I think I've I've stopped myself from doing some but the they'
56:50
been things that that I do uh and then some that I wasn't aware of until Jenna
56:54
was like yeah I edit out every time you go um uh before every [ __ ] sentence I
57:00
go um she edits that out cuz she's cuz she's nice she doesn't want to punish
57:06
the listeners but yeah so I try not to
57:09
do those things and uh and just oh when I used to what I used to say all the
57:15
time interesting interesting like the [ __ ] stop saying
57:18
interesting after everything someone you if someone says something interesting
57:23
interesting well some things are interesting Matt that's true and
57:26
apparently I felt compelled to point that out
57:29
often now I've noticed I say tops or uh not tops uh something else I've been
57:36
saying too anyway yeah podcast's good for
