Speaker 1: The Large Nerd Drunk Collider podcast is a production of
0:10
Speaker 1: I Heart Radio. Hey everybody, welcome to The Large Nerd
0:22
Speaker 1: Drunk Collider, the podcast that's all about the geeky things
0:24
Speaker 1: happening in the world around us and how very excited
0:27
Speaker 1: we are about them, especially this holiday season. I'm aerial
0:30
Speaker 1: casting and with me as always is jingle jangle Jonathan Strickland. Yep,
0:38
Speaker 1: that's right, got my spurs on. I'm ready to ride
0:40
Speaker 1: out into the sunset. It's a oh wait, you mean
0:44
Speaker 1: the other kind of jingle jiang ship. I got the
0:46
Speaker 1: wrong hat on listen. You can, you can, you can
0:49
Speaker 1: wear both. You can put a Sanda hat on top
0:51
Speaker 1: of your cowboy hat. It's all good. I tell you
0:56
Speaker 1: you're gonna get cold and hot lid and you're stuck
0:59
Speaker 1: and uh, how you doing Arial, I'm doing well. I
1:04
Speaker 1: am enjoying the slightly cooler weather in Georgia for the
1:07
Speaker 1: beginning of December. Yeah, I mean the weather is changing,
1:11
Speaker 1: Ammonia fumes are in the air. You're going to have
1:16
Speaker 1: to explain that one to our listeners. Jonathan. Okay, before
1:20
Speaker 1: we get to Ariel's question, which is coming, don't worry
1:23
Speaker 1: uh in my near where I live in Atlanta, Georgia.
1:28
Speaker 1: There was a facility that used to be at like
1:31
Speaker 1: a distribution center for frozen foods, and they have this
1:36
Speaker 1: huge refrigeration system obviously to be able to do that,
1:39
Speaker 1: and they were using ammonia as a refrigerant and which
1:45
Speaker 1: is you know, sometimes used in industrial refrigerants. Well, they've
1:48
Speaker 1: they've moved out of the facility and a crew came
1:51
Speaker 1: in to try and start converting the facility over so
1:54
Speaker 1: that some other tenant can take over the space. And
1:56
Speaker 1: in the process they accidentally cracked a valve on an
2:00
Speaker 1: enormous vat of ammonia, which is an incredibly toxic and
2:04
Speaker 1: caustic chemical, and they spilled twenty thousand pounds of it.
2:10
Speaker 1: And then the city of Atlanta issued a shelter in
2:13
Speaker 1: place order for everyone in my part of town twice
2:18
Speaker 1: right just they they know the shelter in place was
2:23
Speaker 1: only it was shortly after the the accident was reported.
2:28
Speaker 1: I didn't find out about it until it was an
2:30
Speaker 1: hour after the accident happened. But I was inside and
2:35
Speaker 1: fortunately didn't have the HVAC system running because that would
2:37
Speaker 1: have been pulling air potentially out from the outside in
2:41
Speaker 1: uh and I didn't have any windows open or anything
2:42
Speaker 1: like that, so it was okay. I had already taken
2:46
Speaker 1: Tible the Wonder Pub for a walk earlier, so we
2:49
Speaker 1: were fine. My wife was down over at her job,
2:52
Speaker 1: which isn't a totally different part of Atlanta. She was fine,
2:56
Speaker 1: and then like maybe fifteen minutes after I found out
2:59
Speaker 1: about it, the elder in place order was lifted. So
3:01
Speaker 1: the hats off, my cowboy hat and Ma Santa hat
3:05
Speaker 1: off to the fire department for for controlling that spill
3:09
Speaker 1: so quickly. But you know, if we sound like zombies
3:13
Speaker 1: the next time we record a podcast, that's because the
3:15
Speaker 1: apocalypse has started from the ammonia leak. Also, I want
3:19
Speaker 1: to apologize. I just realized that my randeer antler that
3:22
Speaker 1: I have forgotten to take off all day have jingle
3:24
Speaker 1: bells on them. Can you hear them, Jonathan? Not yet,
3:27
Speaker 1: but I'm sure I will once I get you laughing right,
3:30
Speaker 1: all right, there we go, So if you hear jingle bells,
3:32
Speaker 1: that's what it is. Now. I can't hear it a
3:34
Speaker 1: little bit, so but that's okay because we're probably gonna
3:37
Speaker 1: hear Timbot barking too, so it'll just be a festive
3:40
Speaker 1: fest festive episode all the way around. But before take
3:44
Speaker 1: them off, here we go. Okay, and okay, that's there's
3:49
Speaker 1: that's a whole production. Okay, all right, Well okay, now
3:54
Speaker 1: after all of the hullabaloo, I got a question for you,
4:04
Speaker 1: Ay Ariel, Yes, what's your party trick? Blowing air bubbles
4:11
Speaker 1: out my eye? Wow? That's hardcore? I mean it is.
4:19
Speaker 1: It really happened. I had a cold and I was
4:21
Speaker 1: underwater at the pool back when I was a kid
4:23
Speaker 1: or a stuffy knows. It probably wasn't a full on cold.
4:25
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have been at the pool if I had
4:26
Speaker 1: a cold. I've been home in bed. But uh and
4:29
Speaker 1: I kind of sneezed underwater and air air bubbles came
4:32
Speaker 1: out my eye. And that's just a thing that I
4:34
Speaker 1: can do now. So in theory, I guess I could
4:37
Speaker 1: like slip milk up my nose and squirted out my eye,
4:40
Speaker 1: but I've been too much of a chicken to try that.
4:43
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, what about you, child, that's good to have goals.
4:49
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say juggling, so I'm boring. Yeah,
4:53
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a juggler, have been juggling since I
4:56
Speaker 1: was probably I don't know, ten or eleven. My parents
5:00
Speaker 1: got me a book Juggling for the Complete Klutz, and
5:03
Speaker 1: I taught myself how to juggle. And I'm decent. I'm not.
5:07
Speaker 1: I'm not brilliant. Um I could do I can do
5:10
Speaker 1: three object manipulations pretty well. Four I'm okay at I
5:14
Speaker 1: never got the hang of five. I just didn't stick
5:17
Speaker 1: with it. But I can still do lots of three
5:20
Speaker 1: ball juggling tricks. So if you ever see me in
5:23
Speaker 1: there's some bean bags nearby or something, I'll show you
5:26
Speaker 1: a finger. Two. Just always carry three bean bags on you.
5:28
Speaker 1: People always carry you. Never know when you're gonna encounter me,
5:32
Speaker 1: and you know if I drop when you get a wish. Okay,
5:36
Speaker 1: So let's talk about some news, and our first item
5:41
Speaker 1: is that there is yet another new Matrix trailer. What's
5:46
Speaker 1: the title of this movie? Again? It's not just Matrix
5:49
Speaker 1: Matrix Resurrected. Is that what I mean? Um? So resurrections again?
5:59
Speaker 1: I want the trailer. It is interesting, and that it's
6:02
Speaker 1: tying stuff back to the mostly the original movie. The
6:05
Speaker 1: first one be the best one. Yeah, because I'm sure
6:11
Speaker 1: I've said this on previous episodes. I've only seen the
6:14
Speaker 1: first two Matrix movies because the second one disappointed me
6:19
Speaker 1: so much that I never bothered to watch the third one.
6:22
Speaker 1: I've only ever seen the first one more than well, no,
6:26
Speaker 1: I've seen the second one twice because I saw it
6:28
Speaker 1: once in the theater thinking out there was no way
6:30
Speaker 1: I was going to hate it, and then I was
6:33
Speaker 1: scheduled to see it with my wife at the Chinese
6:36
Speaker 1: Theater in Los Angeles, and because I told her, I'm like, Oh,
6:39
Speaker 1: it's gonna be fine, I'm gonna love it. I'm sure
6:42
Speaker 1: i'm gonna want to see it again. And then I
6:43
Speaker 1: went to see it, I was like, oh, then I
6:47
Speaker 1: had to go watch it a second time. Um. Yeah,
6:50
Speaker 1: but yeah, this trailer actually looks Honestly, it just makes
6:55
Speaker 1: me have a lot of questions, like, how the heck
6:58
Speaker 1: does it connect to the final trilogy? Yeah? How does
7:02
Speaker 1: it connect to the original trilogy without being just a
7:04
Speaker 1: complete redo? Um? I it's the Matrix Directions has had
7:10
Speaker 1: a few trailers, and the first one was kind of
7:12
Speaker 1: fun because I had, you know, the White Rabbit song. Um,
7:16
Speaker 1: but this one actually kind of got me because mainly
7:20
Speaker 1: I want to see how they want I want to
7:22
Speaker 1: see whether they're taking old clips from the first movie
7:25
Speaker 1: and integrating them into this new movie since they are
7:27
Speaker 1: tying so much together, or if they're using c g
7:30
Speaker 1: I to make the actors look younger, because from the trailer,
7:34
Speaker 1: the younger actors look really, really good. But I'm pretty
7:39
Speaker 1: sure that's just from the because Hugo Weaving I don't
7:42
Speaker 1: think is credited at all is the new movie, and
7:47
Speaker 1: yet he shows up in the trailer. Um, So yeah,
7:51
Speaker 1: I think that that that's just them taking literally just
7:54
Speaker 1: taking clips from the original film. Uh. I see part
7:58
Speaker 1: of this is that because I never saw the third movie,
8:00
Speaker 1: I've got questions about what the heck was accomplished, because
8:05
Speaker 1: I feel like between Matrix One and Matrix To the
8:08
Speaker 1: purpose of the heroes changed because my at least my
8:12
Speaker 1: impression in the first film was that they wanted to
8:17
Speaker 1: get Neo on their team because the ultimate goal was
8:20
Speaker 1: to overthrow the robot overlords, like that was the ultimate
8:23
Speaker 1: goal in free humanity, and then through the second movie
8:27
Speaker 1: it felt like, no, it's more like we just want
8:30
Speaker 1: to keep this small community of humans who are not
8:33
Speaker 1: currently connected to the Matrix to remain free. But we're
8:37
Speaker 1: not necessarily trying to free everybody, and that really lost me.
8:42
Speaker 1: And I never saw the third one. So when the
8:44
Speaker 1: fourth one starts showing things where the robots are still
8:47
Speaker 1: sucking down humans and everything, I'm like, what was the
8:51
Speaker 1: point of the first three? So the first the third
8:55
Speaker 1: movie ends and I'm taking this off Wikipedia, it's been
8:58
Speaker 1: a while since I've watched it. Where the Matrix is
9:00
Speaker 1: reboot booted and the arch architect meets the oracle in
9:03
Speaker 1: the park and they come to like a tenuous piece
9:06
Speaker 1: as long as it can last, and that any humans
9:09
Speaker 1: who want to leave the office the matrix will be
9:11
Speaker 1: able to um and that's where they kind of leave it.
9:16
Speaker 1: Uh so I guess it kind of it sounds like
9:20
Speaker 1: they're back at war with the machines. I guess the
9:22
Speaker 1: third one left it where peace will last as long
9:24
Speaker 1: as it can, So maybe it has finally ended. I'm
9:29
Speaker 1: kind of glad I didn't watch the third You know what,
9:32
Speaker 1: the fourth movie looks that the trailer looks slick. I
9:36
Speaker 1: am not going to see this movie. I feel pretty
9:38
Speaker 1: confident saying that I will watch it because it doesn't
9:42
Speaker 1: have the same like pretty for pretty sake stuff that
9:46
Speaker 1: the second third movies had so, Um, it makes me
9:50
Speaker 1: more interesting. It makes me feel like it's more for
9:52
Speaker 1: the story and less for the special effects. And for that,
9:56
Speaker 1: I think if I felt more confident about the story
9:58
Speaker 1: being worth telling, I would feel more strongly about this.
10:02
Speaker 1: I mean, and I could totally be wrong, I could
10:04
Speaker 1: be completely off base, but yeah, the Matrix, I think
10:08
Speaker 1: it lost me after the first film, unfortunately, and they're
10:10
Speaker 1: not quite able to get me back. But someone who
10:14
Speaker 1: is going to be potentially back in a role that
10:18
Speaker 1: we loved him in is Charlie Cox with the m
10:22
Speaker 1: c U. Now, Charlie Cox played Daredevil in the Netflix
10:26
Speaker 1: Daredevil series as well as the Defenders series, and there
10:31
Speaker 1: have been fans calling for Charlie coxes Daredevil to show
10:35
Speaker 1: up in the m c U. Ever since that that
10:38
Speaker 1: first season of Daredevil air, there's been a groundswell of
10:41
Speaker 1: support among fans to have him in there. Much like
10:44
Speaker 1: The Matrix, the first season of Daredevil was the best season. Um.
10:49
Speaker 1: But yeah, people were even saying that he was going
10:51
Speaker 1: to show up in the New Spider Man movie, which
10:54
Speaker 1: you know hasn't come out yet, so we don't know
10:55
Speaker 1: for certain. Yeah, there's been a lot of rumor that
10:59
Speaker 1: held show up in that and that Kingpin Wilson Fisk
11:04
Speaker 1: will show up in the Hawkeye series that's currently streaming
11:07
Speaker 1: on Disney Plus. Uh, which I still haven't started watching yet.
11:11
Speaker 1: I need to. I did, and you and I know
11:13
Speaker 1: somebody in the first episode, and then the second episode
11:17
Speaker 1: there's laping, and so I was screaming at my television screen, well, yeah,
11:21
Speaker 1: I know someone who's in the LARPing scene because she
11:23
Speaker 1: keeps sharing it on Instagram. Um, but I was pretty
11:28
Speaker 1: sure I would know at least someone in that sequence
11:30
Speaker 1: because I knew they shot it, you know here. But
11:33
Speaker 1: Kevin Fighi has said that if and when Daredevil appears
11:38
Speaker 1: in the mc U, it'll be Charlie Cox. Now, the
11:40
Speaker 1: way he said it was very noncommittal in the sense
11:43
Speaker 1: that it could be entirely possible that there are no
11:46
Speaker 1: plans to bring Daredevil to the m c U, right
11:50
Speaker 1: to the Cinematic Universe. That is still a possibility if
11:54
Speaker 1: they bring in Daredevil. They said they wanted to be
11:56
Speaker 1: Charlie Cox, but there's no there's no commitment to Daredevil
12:00
Speaker 1: actually being in a future product. But boy, are all
12:04
Speaker 1: the media channels saying Charlie Cox is going to be back. No,
12:08
Speaker 1: it's just they're saying they aren't going to recast him
12:10
Speaker 1: if they bring that character back. Now, the reason why
12:13
Speaker 1: they think Kingpin is gonna show up in the Hawkeye
12:15
Speaker 1: series is because they've introduced a character named Echo, who
12:17
Speaker 1: we also know is getting their own show on Disney Plus,
12:21
Speaker 1: and she is the adopted daughter of the Kingpin. So
12:25
Speaker 1: it would be difficult not to bring him back, at
12:29
Speaker 1: least in mention. And I can only imagine if they
12:32
Speaker 1: aren't recasting Charlie Cox, they won't recast Dinofros either. Well,
12:38
Speaker 1: they could always just change the Echoes origin story and
12:44
Speaker 1: past and relationships, because that's what they did with Taskmaster.
12:48
Speaker 1: The Taskmaster in Black Widow is not the same character
12:52
Speaker 1: as Taskmaster from the Marvel comics, so that is true.
12:55
Speaker 1: They do pick and choose a lot of stuff. But yeah,
12:57
Speaker 1: I'm hopeful that he will show up. I still hope
13:01
Speaker 1: that he shows up as Peter's lawyer in Uh No
13:06
Speaker 1: Way Home. I think that would be a lot of fun.
13:09
Speaker 1: I think that would be a lot of fun. Something
13:10
Speaker 1: else that I think is going to be a lot
13:12
Speaker 1: of fun is the sequel that we're getting to Shuan
13:14
Speaker 1: Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Um, because
13:18
Speaker 1: that that movie is still on the top of my
13:20
Speaker 1: list of movies that I love from Marvel. I still
13:24
Speaker 1: haven't seen it, Jonathan here' plasing watching it soon. It's
13:28
Speaker 1: just that's been busy. But yes, we know that Dustin
13:31
Speaker 1: Daniel Creton, who's the director of the original the first
13:35
Speaker 1: Song Chi movie, has been signed to an exclusive deal
13:38
Speaker 1: with Disney and we'll be producing not just not just
13:41
Speaker 1: writing and directing the next Chong Chi movie, but also
13:44
Speaker 1: we'll be producing some uh some series for Disney Plus
13:48
Speaker 1: and Hulu and Hulu yeah, with Onyx Collective, which helps
13:52
Speaker 1: to tell stories for demographics that are often overlooked by Hollywood,
13:59
Speaker 1: and that that's kind of his goal, and I think
14:01
Speaker 1: that's super awesome. Uh. We do know that he's working
14:04
Speaker 1: on American Born Chinese for Disney Plus, which is a
14:07
Speaker 1: graphic novel, but I don't think it's a Marvel novel. No,
14:12
Speaker 1: this was the Marvel stuff. We still don't know anything about.
14:16
Speaker 1: But this will be a live action action comedy. I
14:20
Speaker 1: thing live action. It's definitely going to be an action
14:22
Speaker 1: comedy series that is that is going to be under
14:27
Speaker 1: the Disney brand. If it's anything like shan Chi. I
14:30
Speaker 1: know I'm gonna super duper love it. Uh something else
14:34
Speaker 1: I know that I am going to super duper love
14:36
Speaker 1: is Spider Man Across the Spider Verse. Yeah, we got
14:39
Speaker 1: to watch a trailer for that and uh yeah that
14:44
Speaker 1: so Into the Spider Verse was so good, and Across
14:48
Speaker 1: the Spider Verse already looks like it's going to win
14:52
Speaker 1: me over big time. Yeah. Yeah, I and it's part one.
14:58
Speaker 1: That made me more excited because I didn't know it
15:01
Speaker 1: was a part one when I pushed play and when
15:03
Speaker 1: I watched the trailer and then it says part one
15:05
Speaker 1: at the very end, I was like, oh, yeah, we're
15:08
Speaker 1: gonna get do of them at least. Yeah. Yeah, I
15:12
Speaker 1: really hope that this one. So, the first Spider Man
15:14
Speaker 1: Into the Spider Verse, it got a little bit of
15:17
Speaker 1: press before it came out, but it kind of flew
15:20
Speaker 1: under the radar to me. Um, you know, it got
15:24
Speaker 1: a couple of trailers, but it wasn't making huge headlines
15:26
Speaker 1: on every media station. Um. And this again, this trailer
15:30
Speaker 1: kind of flew under the radar as well. And I
15:34
Speaker 1: hope it gets a lot more steam because yeah, those
15:37
Speaker 1: those movies were fantastic. Other than the fact that the
15:39
Speaker 1: art style made it feel like I should have been
15:41
Speaker 1: wearing three D glasses part of the time. Um, just
15:44
Speaker 1: fantastic storytelling. I love the crazy art style of that
15:49
Speaker 1: first film, and the second one looks like it's going
15:50
Speaker 1: to be bringing a lot more of that back into it.
15:53
Speaker 1: To me, it was just so innovative, like there was
15:56
Speaker 1: a lot of innovation going on, and the the characters
16:00
Speaker 1: were spot on, very heartfelt, and also like there was
16:04
Speaker 1: just the right amount of humor in there and a
16:07
Speaker 1: lot of drama in there as well. So yeah, I'm
16:10
Speaker 1: I'm really curious to see this personally, since it looks
16:16
Speaker 1: like this is a story in which Miles Morales is
16:18
Speaker 1: going to go into the dimensional portals that connect the
16:23
Speaker 1: various Spider verses together, I would love to see. To me,
16:28
Speaker 1: this would be the brilliant way to introduce live action
16:31
Speaker 1: Miles Morales in a segment and just have it be
16:35
Speaker 1: a segment in this movie, and that's how we get
16:38
Speaker 1: our live action Miles Morales in the m c U.
16:40
Speaker 1: I was thinking the same thing I was wondering, and
16:44
Speaker 1: this is probably not how it's going to work, But
16:46
Speaker 1: the this new, this new Across the Spider Fish versus
16:50
Speaker 1: Miles is a little bit older. It looks like he's
16:52
Speaker 1: in college now. Um, And I was wondering if they
16:56
Speaker 1: would just pour the voice actor Schmik more Over to
17:00
Speaker 1: play him, but Smick Morris twenty six, Um, so I
17:04
Speaker 1: you know they definitely, Hollywood definitely does cast people order
17:07
Speaker 1: to play younger, but I don't know if that will
17:09
Speaker 1: be one of them. Yeah. Well, we've got a big
17:14
Speaker 1: conversation coming up about movie trailers, since we were just
17:18
Speaker 1: talking about a couple of them in this segment. But
17:20
Speaker 1: we're going to do that after we take this quick break.
17:34
Speaker 1: All right, so we're back, and you know, we talked
17:37
Speaker 1: about Spider Man Across the Spider Verse and and those
17:40
Speaker 1: those movies kind of flying under the radar only having
17:43
Speaker 1: a couple of trailers. But that's not the trend for
17:46
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of movies, and specifically a
17:49
Speaker 1: lot of m CU movies. We have been getting like
17:54
Speaker 1: if it almost feels like daily trailers for a lot
17:57
Speaker 1: of Disney movies lately. Yea trailer overload. That's kind of
18:02
Speaker 1: what we wanted to talk about, was this this trend
18:05
Speaker 1: of releasing too many trailers for a property, Like I
18:11
Speaker 1: get the feeling that if you aren't hooked after the
18:15
Speaker 1: first full trailer, Like if the teaser didn't get you,
18:19
Speaker 1: in the first full trailer didn't get you, that's it.
18:21
Speaker 1: You don't stop trying to sell to that person because
18:25
Speaker 1: they're not buying right, you're not convincing them, You're not
18:28
Speaker 1: gonna win them over. Um it's I think about movies
18:33
Speaker 1: where the trailer spoiled something important in the movie and
18:38
Speaker 1: it's a terrible trend that was going on for a
18:41
Speaker 1: long time. Like the one that always leaps to my
18:44
Speaker 1: mind is Star Wars Fantom Menace, where they give away
18:49
Speaker 1: the fact that Darth Maul has a double bladed lightsaber,
18:52
Speaker 1: something that had never been seen in a Star Wars movie,
18:55
Speaker 1: and they gave it away in the trailer, and it's
18:57
Speaker 1: one of the coolest moments in movie that otherwise is
19:01
Speaker 1: desperate for cool moments, and they gave it away in
19:05
Speaker 1: the trailer, and um, yeah, I think because like, imagine, imagine,
19:10
Speaker 1: if you will, if in Avengers End Game, if the
19:15
Speaker 1: trailer for it showed Captain America picking up Muelner and
19:19
Speaker 1: wielding it like that would have been like, I don't know,
19:23
Speaker 1: you don't waste that. That was one of those moments
19:25
Speaker 1: in the theater where the entire audience comes alive and
19:31
Speaker 1: is like shouting and celebrating because it's such an awesome
19:35
Speaker 1: payoff to the character. Um. That's one of the dangers
19:39
Speaker 1: you fall into. But the other one is just that,
19:42
Speaker 1: you know, you start to get burnt out. Like Ariel,
19:44
Speaker 1: I lost count of how many Eternals trailers there were. Yeah,
19:49
Speaker 1: me too. So there's a couple of problems. One is
19:52
Speaker 1: that right now it's harder to get people into the
19:54
Speaker 1: movie theaters, which was already a problem pre pandemic a
19:57
Speaker 1: little bit, but it's more so now. So they're really
20:00
Speaker 1: trying to grab people and as many possible ways as
20:03
Speaker 1: they could. Um, To give somebody something that says, oh,
20:06
Speaker 1: I want to see that on the big screen, like
20:08
Speaker 1: Darth Maul's two bladed lightsaber, right, hoping that that will
20:13
Speaker 1: give people enough interest to come into the movie, even
20:16
Speaker 1: if it's a spoiler. Um and too, because there's so
20:19
Speaker 1: many characters that nobody knows they're trying to introduce them.
20:22
Speaker 1: I just like you said, if if it doesn't grab
20:26
Speaker 1: you in the first couple, it's unlikely to I'm sure,
20:29
Speaker 1: there are some people who are grabbed by the subsequent
20:31
Speaker 1: subsequent ones. But for me, I just got kind of
20:34
Speaker 1: burnt out on the movie before I even saw it,
20:37
Speaker 1: because now I've just seen so many clips that mean
20:39
Speaker 1: little to nothing to me that it starts building in
20:42
Speaker 1: my mind that this whole movie is going to mean
20:44
Speaker 1: little to nothing to me. Yeah, yeah, I yeah, I
20:49
Speaker 1: agree with what you're saying. I think it's better to
20:53
Speaker 1: err on the side of caution now. I will also
20:55
Speaker 1: say something else that ties into this conversation is that
20:59
Speaker 1: we sometimes get trailers from movies where the trailer is
21:03
Speaker 1: a bad representation of what the movie is. Watched, Suicide
21:08
Speaker 1: Squad jumps to mind. Yeah, but then you had you
21:12
Speaker 1: had Suicide the first Suicide Squad movie that one. Of course, famously,
21:17
Speaker 1: the studio took it away from the director and handed
21:20
Speaker 1: it over to the trailer studio to recut it, to
21:25
Speaker 1: recut the film, and so you ended up with a
21:27
Speaker 1: movie that made about as much sense as your average trailer. Um.
21:32
Speaker 1: You know what, I there's another discussion we should have
21:35
Speaker 1: at some point. Did you ever watch the fan made
21:41
Speaker 1: quote unquote trailer. It wasn't really a trailer because there
21:43
Speaker 1: was no movie, but it was called Grayson and it
21:47
Speaker 1: was a story of grown up Dick Grayson former Robin
21:52
Speaker 1: who uh you know the in the In the trailer,
21:55
Speaker 1: it's revealed that Batman is dead, and it's this long
21:59
Speaker 1: sequence where the trailer plays out where they're their implications
22:03
Speaker 1: of Superman being a kind of a bad guy, and
22:07
Speaker 1: the Joker and the Penguin and Catwoman, like all these
22:11
Speaker 1: different iconic characters show up in it, and the trailer
22:14
Speaker 1: is one of those things where you watch it and
22:16
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, man, that looks so awesome. I wish
22:17
Speaker 1: they would really make this. But then you think about
22:20
Speaker 1: and you're like, there's no way to make a movie
22:22
Speaker 1: that includes all those sequences and still haven't makes sense
22:26
Speaker 1: and not make it last six hours long. Like yeah,
22:29
Speaker 1: you'd have to Snyder cut it, or you'd have to
22:31
Speaker 1: do like what Dune does did and make it multipart um.
22:36
Speaker 1: I did see it. It has been um a little
22:40
Speaker 1: bit of time. I think, oh yeah, that's one of
22:42
Speaker 1: those you know, that was one of those like projects
22:46
Speaker 1: that went viral early in the era of YouTube, like
22:49
Speaker 1: that is it's been around for ages and it was
22:52
Speaker 1: really more or less a a kind of a almost
22:55
Speaker 1: like a real for the people who worked on it
22:57
Speaker 1: to kind of show what they could do. It was.
22:59
Speaker 1: It was never tended to be like, yeah, we're going
23:01
Speaker 1: to make a full link feature yea. And this was
23:04
Speaker 1: also pre DC uh like like the current DC movies. Yeah,
23:09
Speaker 1: it was. It was more like a pitch. I mean
23:11
Speaker 1: there was also a trailer like that for Moral Kombat
23:14
Speaker 1: with where Jerry Ryan was one of the characters. It
23:17
Speaker 1: wasn't a trailer, I ca. It was like a mini series,
23:19
Speaker 1: um yeah, where they give you a little bit of
23:22
Speaker 1: story and then leave you wanting more, as opposed to
23:24
Speaker 1: something like Eternal Suicide Squad where they're like, Okay, we've
23:28
Speaker 1: got too much story to tell, so we're just going
23:31
Speaker 1: to give you fifty trailers to explain half the movie
23:35
Speaker 1: before you come in. Yeah, that doesn't give you a
23:38
Speaker 1: lot of confidence about the film, right, Like you might
23:40
Speaker 1: feel like this film has got too much to explain,
23:44
Speaker 1: and by the time it's done explaining things, there's not
23:47
Speaker 1: enough time to actually tell a story with that, Like, yeah,
23:50
Speaker 1: that's the concern you have with any film that has
23:53
Speaker 1: a big cast of characters like Eternals, where you don't
23:57
Speaker 1: have the luxury of having uh introduced them in their
24:02
Speaker 1: own individual films. You have to do it all at once.
24:05
Speaker 1: And these are characters that all but the most dedicated
24:09
Speaker 1: to Marvel fans have no knowledge of. So you've got
24:13
Speaker 1: a big hurdle there. Um. Yeah, I don't think. I
24:16
Speaker 1: do not like Disney's marketing strategy when it comes to
24:19
Speaker 1: those sort of things. Uh. You know, Eternals was a
24:22
Speaker 1: particularly egregious example, but we've even like I saw it
24:26
Speaker 1: for Hawkeye too, where Hawkeye was getting these short, like
24:29
Speaker 1: thirty second spots, and they they typically fall into the
24:33
Speaker 1: category of Disney picks, like the marketing department picks a
24:37
Speaker 1: word that the trailer is supposed to be representative of,
24:41
Speaker 1: like resilience or you know, heroism or whatever. And uh
24:46
Speaker 1: and I'm like, how about restraint? Can we can we
24:50
Speaker 1: show some of that? Yeah? Yeah, you know. And I
24:53
Speaker 1: thought of this topic the other day because I was
24:55
Speaker 1: I was asking my husband if he had seen the
24:57
Speaker 1: new Matrix trailer and he goes, which one I've seen,
24:59
Speaker 1: like twenty and I'm like, yeah, you're You're right, Like
25:02
Speaker 1: so it's not just Disney, it's not just Marvel. Um.
25:05
Speaker 1: A lot of people are taking this, but I do
25:07
Speaker 1: think there is a way that you can release a
25:09
Speaker 1: lot of UM content in an effort to get people
25:13
Speaker 1: excited and not ruin the story. I think Free Guy
25:16
Speaker 1: is a great example of that because they released UM
25:21
Speaker 1: a bunch of trailers that were within the world of
25:23
Speaker 1: the movie, but had nothing to do with the actual
25:26
Speaker 1: plot of the movie necessarily UM, like the one where
25:30
Speaker 1: Deadpooling Cord we're talking about the movie, So that way
25:33
Speaker 1: you're still being reminded, Oh, yes, the thing is coming out.
25:36
Speaker 1: I want to be excited about it without getting all
25:39
Speaker 1: of those spoilers or or feeling like you're burnt out
25:42
Speaker 1: on the plot. I think, uh. I think there are
25:46
Speaker 1: other marketing efforts that can go a long way to
25:50
Speaker 1: that UM, but it's a different scale. Like I think
25:55
Speaker 1: back to Blair Witch Project, which ended up being a
25:58
Speaker 1: film that was marketed not just from movie trailers, but
26:01
Speaker 1: from a website that continued the fiction that this was
26:06
Speaker 1: all real footage that was discovered and it had all
26:10
Speaker 1: this additional material that supplemented what was in the film,
26:15
Speaker 1: and if you took the time to go through and
26:17
Speaker 1: explore stuff, then it made the movie just part of
26:21
Speaker 1: a bigger story. The movie could stand on its own,
26:23
Speaker 1: but it was also part of a larger narrative. And like,
26:27
Speaker 1: those are really creative ways of marketing a movie that
26:29
Speaker 1: I think are interesting, and they don't give away too
26:33
Speaker 1: much about the film itself. However, what works for Blair
26:37
Speaker 1: Witch Project isn't gonna work for every single movie. Blair
26:40
Speaker 1: Witch Project was a tiny, little independent, low budget movie,
26:44
Speaker 1: so any success at all was going to be a profit.
26:47
Speaker 1: It just turned out to be, you know, like a
26:50
Speaker 1: landslide profit for them because it did so relatively well
26:53
Speaker 1: considering how low budget it was. You can't do that
26:56
Speaker 1: with a Marvel film. I understand that, but it just
26:59
Speaker 1: tells me I would like to see more creativity when
27:02
Speaker 1: it comes to marketing and and less of a shotgun
27:06
Speaker 1: approach of let's make yet another trailer and reveal yet
27:10
Speaker 1: another moment that would have been special in the theater.
27:12
Speaker 1: But now you've already seen it. But probably you've already
27:15
Speaker 1: seen it on your phone or on your computer. Yeah,
27:18
Speaker 1: because after the first second trailer you're you're like, I'm
27:20
Speaker 1: not watching anymore. I don't want spoilers generally, yeah, yeah,
27:24
Speaker 1: or I'm like I don't want to see this, so
27:26
Speaker 1: I mean either way, you don't need to keep inundating
27:30
Speaker 1: me with trailers. I guess maybe the thought is you
27:33
Speaker 1: never know if people are going to see the first one,
27:36
Speaker 1: just because of the different distribution channels, right, like not everyone.
27:40
Speaker 1: I don't watch TV, so I don't see commercials on television.
27:44
Speaker 1: I don't go to the theater, so I don't see
27:47
Speaker 1: previews for movies in front of films anymore. I do
27:50
Speaker 1: watch YouTube. So maybe the approach is like, let's make
27:54
Speaker 1: a lot of trailers that we can release on YouTube,
27:57
Speaker 1: knowing that YouTube's recommendation now of them isn't likely to
28:01
Speaker 1: recommend all of them, but if we put enough of
28:03
Speaker 1: them out, then you'll end up seeing at least one
28:05
Speaker 1: of them. Problem is, I do see all of them.
28:08
Speaker 1: I don't watch all of them, but they all do
28:10
Speaker 1: pop up for me. Yeah, yeah, you know. I it's
28:14
Speaker 1: a rule for improv and I think you should be
28:15
Speaker 1: a rule for marketing as well. And I know this
28:18
Speaker 1: doesn't work all the time. I haven't seen the algorithms,
28:20
Speaker 1: so I don't actually know how much this excessive um
28:24
Speaker 1: trailer marketing brings. More like I don't know the ratio
28:28
Speaker 1: of trailers to people that brings into the theater. But
28:30
Speaker 1: I think, you know, a three trailer for a movie.
28:34
Speaker 1: Maybe that's old school of me, but I think three
28:35
Speaker 1: trailers and you're done for a movie less if you can't,
28:38
Speaker 1: if you can't do it without giving away huge plot points.
28:41
Speaker 1: And I mean, like, they're always gonna be fans who
28:43
Speaker 1: are gonna want more. But that's why you've got the
28:45
Speaker 1: super fans who will do things like they'll track down
28:47
Speaker 1: the international trailer so that they can see a slightly
28:50
Speaker 1: different cut, you know. And I think having those is fine,
28:54
Speaker 1: but serving up endless trailers, it really does diminish my
28:59
Speaker 1: enthusiasm them for seeing something. And that's the opposite reaction
29:03
Speaker 1: of what you want. Yeah, yeah, I would have to agree. Well,
29:08
Speaker 1: we're curious what you think about movie trailers. Will give
29:11
Speaker 1: you the email address at the end. I'm going to
29:13
Speaker 1: give it to you here now too. It's Ellen c
29:15
Speaker 1: at I heart media dot com. So if you have
29:18
Speaker 1: your own strong thoughts about trailer's chipping, I would love
29:20
Speaker 1: to hear more thoughts about it. We're going to take
29:22
Speaker 1: a break and when we come back, we're gonna have
29:25
Speaker 1: a pretty far out mash up. So Ariel Yes, Jonathan
29:47
Speaker 1: we uh, we got ourselves a mash up, which I
29:50
Speaker 1: understand was a suggestion. Yes, thank you, Clara. Clara has
29:54
Speaker 1: written in a few times, always with great conversation and
29:59
Speaker 1: and uh wonderful mashup suggestions. Um. I think this is
30:02
Speaker 1: actually the second one of hers that we're doing. We
30:04
Speaker 1: do actually have a couple other Um. I think at
30:09
Speaker 1: least two more of our mashups for the month of
30:12
Speaker 1: December are also listener requests. So if you send them in,
30:16
Speaker 1: we'll do them. This time it's Sailor Moon and Stargate
30:20
Speaker 1: and you go, but wait, aren't those two old properties?
30:23
Speaker 1: And you would be wrong, because in December ten and
30:28
Speaker 1: then in January there will be two separate Sailor Moon
30:31
Speaker 1: musicals available for international viewing. You would also be right
30:35
Speaker 1: because they are old. They're old like I am. Old, Okay,
30:40
Speaker 1: but relevant. So we typically explain what these are. Two people,
30:45
Speaker 1: I would love to hear you explain Sailor Moon. Well,
30:49
Speaker 1: here's where I'm going to say. I have watched plenty
30:51
Speaker 1: of Sailor Moon. Thank you to my old roommate Jen
30:54
Speaker 1: and my good friend Matt, who both like it. Sailor
30:59
Speaker 1: Moon is there's this girl who lives in Japan, Tokyo.
31:03
Speaker 1: Her name is Usagi Kino. I'm bad at names, and
31:07
Speaker 1: she lives with her talking cat Uh who gives her
31:11
Speaker 1: magical broth brooch, and she transforms into Sailor Moon And yes,
31:13
Speaker 1: I am reading part of the stuff of Wikipedia, but
31:16
Speaker 1: basically she was the daughter of a queen who sent
31:19
Speaker 1: her to Earth along with all of these other Sailor
31:22
Speaker 1: Guardians to protect Earth and a couple of cats um
31:25
Speaker 1: and then the princess is true love Prince all right
31:29
Speaker 1: Enginemian who became one of their friends, and then turns
31:34
Speaker 1: into this character called Texedo Mask who wears a suit
31:36
Speaker 1: and a mask and a top hat, well, a texedo
31:39
Speaker 1: and a mask and a top hat and has a
31:40
Speaker 1: rose um. And then they fight space villains who are
31:43
Speaker 1: all very evil, and then there are more like You're like, okay,
31:47
Speaker 1: surely we've gone through all of the planets for the
31:49
Speaker 1: Sailor Scouts or the Sailor Guardians, depending on where you
31:52
Speaker 1: are from. But no, there's always more more of them.
31:55
Speaker 1: There's even a cheeby Sailor Moon ump, cheep cheep. I
32:02
Speaker 1: think is you're saying a lot of words, and I
32:07
Speaker 1: faith that they under that they make sense. So yeah,
32:11
Speaker 1: I mean really, it's just these girls transform into uh,
32:17
Speaker 1: superheroes with like planet powers and fight people aliens planet like,
32:25
Speaker 1: like what's the planet power? Listen, I don't know. But
32:30
Speaker 1: they're called Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury Sailor. Like it's one
32:35
Speaker 1: of those things I like. I like. I like watching anime.
32:38
Speaker 1: I really do. Try Gun and Evan Gelian and Sailor
32:41
Speaker 1: Moon and a few others, but it can't Cowboy Bebop
32:45
Speaker 1: I would. I have a really hard time explaining the
32:49
Speaker 1: plots of any of those to you, Like I just
32:51
Speaker 1: have to go along for the ride. Yeah. I get that,
32:54
Speaker 1: because whenever I try and watch any anime, I get
32:58
Speaker 1: the feeling like I am not the right agin. So
33:00
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's bad, not at all, not by
33:02
Speaker 1: a long stretch of the imagination, but that I'm not
33:05
Speaker 1: the right audience for it because my brain just don't
33:08
Speaker 1: work that way. My brain is too too, too geared
33:13
Speaker 1: and mired in the Western storytelling tradition, and and that's
33:18
Speaker 1: my you know, that's my downfall. That's not a downfall
33:21
Speaker 1: of the anime. It's just that when I try and
33:23
Speaker 1: watch anime, I'm like, well, this just don't make no sense.
33:27
Speaker 1: That's kind of how I end up walking away. So
33:29
Speaker 1: let me explain Stargate, a which I am only going
33:33
Speaker 1: to explain in the context of the original movie because
33:37
Speaker 1: that's the only thing out of Stargate I ever saw.
33:40
Speaker 1: I saw it in the movie theater when it came
33:43
Speaker 1: out in I saw it in the theater, and I
33:47
Speaker 1: never watched any of the TV series that came out,
33:50
Speaker 1: or any of the sequels that came out afterwards. So
33:53
Speaker 1: Stargate the original movie is a story where some uh
33:59
Speaker 1: a military opera, aation has uncovered these stones, these mysterious
34:03
Speaker 1: stones that have hieroglyphics on them, and a archaeologist comes
34:08
Speaker 1: to look at this stuff, you know, and it's all
34:11
Speaker 1: part of like a United States Air Force mission or
34:15
Speaker 1: a project highly classified, and he looks at and he
34:19
Speaker 1: says it says Stargate on it. And when they put
34:22
Speaker 1: the stones together, there's this sudden innerdimensional portal that's created,
34:27
Speaker 1: and when they go through it, they find out they
34:29
Speaker 1: go to a planet that looks a whole lot like
34:31
Speaker 1: ancient egypt Um, and that in fact, it's inhabited by
34:35
Speaker 1: aliens who have technology that makes them appear godlike, and
34:40
Speaker 1: in fact that they have outfits that make them appear
34:45
Speaker 1: similar to the gods depicted in Egyptian mythology. So the
34:48
Speaker 1: idea here is that these aliens came to Earth, and
34:53
Speaker 1: in fact the pyramids were a result of their technology,
34:57
Speaker 1: that they enslave some humans who are now living on
35:00
Speaker 1: this distant planet through this portal, and the story unfolds
35:04
Speaker 1: from there. Um, it's not good, it's not bad. It's
35:09
Speaker 1: not bad, but it's not James Spader famously said that
35:13
Speaker 1: he read the script and thought it was terrible, but
35:15
Speaker 1: when he met with Roland Emerick, who directed it, he
35:18
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, it's terrible, but it's gonna be insane,
35:22
Speaker 1: so I have to be in it. So so I
35:25
Speaker 1: I love Stargate uh s g one and the movie
35:29
Speaker 1: Atlantis a little bit less. So though, that's where we
35:31
Speaker 1: all learned about Jason Momoa. Um. And then I didn't
35:34
Speaker 1: watch the latest Stargate series. Um. I watched a couple episodes,
35:38
Speaker 1: but not the way through. But you mentioned powerful stones.
35:41
Speaker 1: That is a through line, because there are powerful stones
35:43
Speaker 1: in Sailor Moon. Ok, there are these crystals that only
35:49
Speaker 1: like people of of the like only certain people can
35:54
Speaker 1: use and they give you a lot of power. Um,
35:56
Speaker 1: And you asked what planet powers were, So like Sailor
35:59
Speaker 1: Moon can use like her are pieces and throw hairpins
36:01
Speaker 1: and do like sonic wave things. I think Sailor Mercury,
36:05
Speaker 1: Sailor Mercury can manipulate water just like mercury Mercury. Sailor
36:10
Speaker 1: Jupiter can do electricity and thunder. Yes, and then Sailor Venus, Um,
36:19
Speaker 1: you know she they have like supernatural fighting solar system
36:25
Speaker 1: accessory powers accessory powers because like Sailor Moon can like
36:30
Speaker 1: yell through like her hairpins and get like extra amplification.
36:33
Speaker 1: So I think it's probably because it has like pieces
36:35
Speaker 1: of the crystal in it. I don't know. I think
36:37
Speaker 1: I think calling them Blennet powers as being a little
36:41
Speaker 1: lucy goosey with the word planet, especially since one of
36:44
Speaker 1: them is a moon. Um. But you know what, let's
36:47
Speaker 1: just get to our mashups, Shelly. You can you can
36:52
Speaker 1: guess how amazing they're going to be. Um. I do
36:55
Speaker 1: like watching Sailor Man, but it's hard to explain. Okay,
36:57
Speaker 1: how about I go first, because I gotta tell you, uh,
37:00
Speaker 1: I I knew nothing about Sailor moon. Going into this,
37:04
Speaker 1: I feel like I know even less now than I
37:06
Speaker 1: did before. Um, and I'm not. I'm not particularly proud
37:10
Speaker 1: of this one, but I gave it a shot. Okay,
37:14
Speaker 1: mine's called Sailor Gate. Okay. Daniel Jackson has a problem.
37:20
Speaker 1: He's an archaeologist who believes that the ancient Pyramids of
37:23
Speaker 1: Egypt weren't built by humans, which honestly is more than
37:25
Speaker 1: a little insulting. I mean, such a cliche idea that
37:28
Speaker 1: the pyramids were too grand precise for ancient humans to
37:31
Speaker 1: have built the darned things, as if we only recently
37:34
Speaker 1: figured out how, you know what into the hammer we're
37:36
Speaker 1: supposed to hold that. Daniel Jackson's a jerk, I tells you.
37:40
Speaker 1: But that's that's not his problem, or rather, that's not
37:43
Speaker 1: the problem that he concerns himself with. His problem is
37:47
Speaker 1: that he is late to an official classified meeting held
37:50
Speaker 1: by the United States Air Force. A woman named Katherine
37:53
Speaker 1: Langford has invited him there to take a look at
37:56
Speaker 1: something and lend his expertise on ancient Egyptian languages and architecture.
38:00
Speaker 1: So he shows up late, and already you can tell
38:03
Speaker 1: that the stiffs in uniform aren't impressed by him. Colonel
38:06
Speaker 1: Jack O'Neill in particular seems irritated that Jackson is even
38:10
Speaker 1: breathing the same air he is. Anyway, Catherine shows up
38:14
Speaker 1: and guides Daniel Jackson over to an area that has
38:18
Speaker 1: these massive stones that have these strange higher glyphs on them,
38:21
Speaker 1: and he looks and he figures out the order of them,
38:23
Speaker 1: and he translates the stones to read sailor gait, which
38:26
Speaker 1: makes no sense. I mean, these were found in the
38:28
Speaker 1: middle of Egypt, not anywhere close to a port. So
38:32
Speaker 1: Daniel oversees the stones being arranged to fit together properly
38:35
Speaker 1: so that they spell it out correctly, and when they interlock,
38:38
Speaker 1: there's this glowing portal thing that appears in the middle
38:40
Speaker 1: and then suddenly vanishes, and the only thing left behind
38:43
Speaker 1: is a small piece of jewelry approach, and Daniel Jackson
38:46
Speaker 1: goes to look at it and finds it odds as
38:48
Speaker 1: there's writing on it, but it's not Egyptian, it's Japanese.
38:53
Speaker 1: And suddenly there's the swirling light and bubbles and a
38:56
Speaker 1: rock and song, and Daniel Jackson's body lights up and
39:00
Speaker 1: the next thing you know, he's standing there in a
39:02
Speaker 1: Sailor Unitard with a little blue miniskirt and his hairs
39:05
Speaker 1: and braids. Daniel Jackson has transformed into Sailor Moon, and yes,
39:10
Speaker 1: this does mean you should be imagining James Spader dressed
39:14
Speaker 1: as Sailor Moon. That is a requirement for this mash up.
39:20
Speaker 1: Needless to say, the rest of the team at this
39:22
Speaker 1: classified meeting are stunned. There are a lot of attempts
39:26
Speaker 1: to say something, but honestly, it's just hard to figure
39:31
Speaker 1: out where to even start. But then Sailor Jackson Moon
39:35
Speaker 1: points that Colonel O'Neil and next thing you know, O'Neil
39:37
Speaker 1: goes through this weird transformation and turns into Sailor Mars.
39:41
Speaker 1: And then Catherine also goes through a weird transformation becomes
39:44
Speaker 1: Sailor Mercury. And after this strange series of events, this
39:48
Speaker 1: portal opens up again. It's clothing and with a strange
39:51
Speaker 1: sense of conviction, Sailor Jackson Moon says, we must go
39:54
Speaker 1: through for justice, and the other sailors agree, so they
40:00
Speaker 1: go through, and on the other side they appear on
40:02
Speaker 1: a planet that looks a lot like ancient Egypt, only
40:04
Speaker 1: there are these aliens that were outfits to make him
40:06
Speaker 1: look a lot like the gods of ancient Egypt who
40:08
Speaker 1: use science fiction guns and stuff to keep human slaves
40:10
Speaker 1: in line. I will use the power of the moon
40:13
Speaker 1: to punish you, says Daniel Jackson, which I looked it
40:16
Speaker 1: up is an actual line from Sailor Moon. But the
40:22
Speaker 1: Aliens don't understand English, and they can only speak ancient Egyptian.
40:25
Speaker 1: And despite the fact that Dr Daniel Jackson the archaeologist,
40:29
Speaker 1: claims that he can translate spoken ancient Egyptian, the fact
40:33
Speaker 1: is no one actually knows what ancient Egyptian the spoken
40:37
Speaker 1: language sounded like. Because they didn't write vowels. All the
40:41
Speaker 1: vowels are left out of their writing. There is no
40:44
Speaker 1: way to know what ancient Egyptian sounded like. That always
40:47
Speaker 1: bugged me about Stargate But anyway, so then Daniel Jackson
40:51
Speaker 1: touches his head and yells for no real reason, moon
40:54
Speaker 1: Tiara action. And then I see, you know, the little
40:57
Speaker 1: tiara he was wearing, a sailor Moon turns into a
41:00
Speaker 1: tron disk or something, and he hurls it and he
41:02
Speaker 1: zaps a few aliens into oblivion. But they're like, you know,
41:05
Speaker 1: loads of these guys. That's just the beginning, and so
41:08
Speaker 1: then what we get is a series of fights between
41:10
Speaker 1: the Sailor gang and the head alien raw his forces,
41:15
Speaker 1: and like, there's some comedy stuff in there too, plus
41:18
Speaker 1: Tuxedo Mask shows up at some point to make a
41:20
Speaker 1: snide judgmental comment, but mostly it's just the good old
41:23
Speaker 1: military sci fi anime beat him up for I don't know,
41:26
Speaker 1: like seventy minutes or so. And at one point, Sailor
41:29
Speaker 1: Mars O'Neill uses weird alien technology to teleport a bomb
41:32
Speaker 1: onto ras ship, which seems to work, and after that
41:36
Speaker 1: the whole gang returns through the portal back to Earth,
41:38
Speaker 1: where they form a team of heroes sworn to defend
41:41
Speaker 1: the planet from existential Egyptian threats, which honestly seemed like
41:45
Speaker 1: it was gonna be pretty easy gig for a while.
41:47
Speaker 1: But then the Stargate TV series got greenlit, but that's
41:50
Speaker 1: a story for another time. You know, you always say
41:54
Speaker 1: that you're worried you're going to just do an episode
41:58
Speaker 1: that has already or a concept that has already been
42:01
Speaker 1: done by one of our mashup properties. I am certain
42:03
Speaker 1: that is not the case here. Actually I'm not certain,
42:07
Speaker 1: because Stargate was on Sci fi. They might have done
42:11
Speaker 1: that for a really long time. James Spader was not
42:15
Speaker 1: in the television That's true. He was not. He did
42:18
Speaker 1: not make the transition to the television shows. Character was
42:21
Speaker 1: Daniel Jackson was still a character in the s g
42:23
Speaker 1: One that was played by a different actor. Such a cutie. Um,
42:27
Speaker 1: but I did really enjoy that. You gave yourself far
42:29
Speaker 1: too little credit. Um. I would watch that episode of
42:34
Speaker 1: either Good to know. I want to hear yours now.
42:38
Speaker 1: All right, this is called Sailor go Old, go Old, Um.
42:43
Speaker 1: For some reason, when I read it, it's harder to
42:45
Speaker 1: say all right. It had been a year since the
42:47
Speaker 1: Stargate team returned from their first adventure on Abbados, defeating
42:50
Speaker 1: raw and freeing the people of that world from the gold.
42:54
Speaker 1: With the villain defeated, they set up the Stargate program
42:56
Speaker 1: to start exploring different worlds. Did they know there was
43:00
Speaker 1: a threat right here on Earth? You see, one day,
43:03
Speaker 1: upon returning from the far off planet of Kimmoku through
43:06
Speaker 1: the through a stargate that they found in Tokyo, something
43:08
Speaker 1: weird started happening. Sees very these girls in the Jawan
43:12
Speaker 1: district of Tokyo that had exceptional powers that like a
43:15
Speaker 1: normal person wouldn't have uh, and they have been known
43:18
Speaker 1: as local heroes called the Sailor Scouts. But once the
43:21
Speaker 1: Stargate team arrived back on Earth, the girls started acting weird. Tilk,
43:25
Speaker 1: being a Jafa soldier who held a larva gula old
43:30
Speaker 1: Uh and then who defected from his system lord to
43:33
Speaker 1: help free as people, was the first person to put
43:35
Speaker 1: the puzzle pieces together. He determined that these girls had
43:38
Speaker 1: been infected by gua Wuld themselves, who were then trying
43:41
Speaker 1: to use the girl's powers to subjugate the people of Earth.
43:45
Speaker 1: The team went to confront the girls, and the girls
43:47
Speaker 1: dashed through a stargate. The team of course followed, and
43:50
Speaker 1: when they came out the other side, they found themselves
43:52
Speaker 1: in what Tilk recognized as the Dark Kingdom, and they're
43:57
Speaker 1: in front of them was one of the most notory
44:00
Speaker 1: s ori of all of them. Queen Mataria an Ori
44:03
Speaker 1: is an ascended being used this technology to get non
44:06
Speaker 1: ascended beings to worship them. They're kind of worse than
44:08
Speaker 1: the Google. They slaughtered a whole bunch of the gooah
44:10
Speaker 1: w old Uh. Things were worse than til can the
44:13
Speaker 1: team expected. You see, Queen Mataria had gained her power
44:16
Speaker 1: by siphoning the life and energy from all of the
44:18
Speaker 1: Gooa Old System lords until she became a creature of
44:21
Speaker 1: pure dark power. The Goo Gua world that had infected
44:24
Speaker 1: the Sailor Scouts were the few that had betrayed their
44:26
Speaker 1: race to form a tenuous alliance with Queen Mataria to
44:29
Speaker 1: take over and destroy Earth and all sentient lifeforms on
44:31
Speaker 1: all planets. The Scouts surrounded the Queen and postured to fight,
44:36
Speaker 1: and that's when Daniel, another member of the Stargate team,
44:39
Speaker 1: all of a sudden began to transform. The team was
44:42
Speaker 1: in shock because soon in front of them was not
44:44
Speaker 1: Daniel but Tuxedo Mask, a Java who had been a
44:47
Speaker 1: sleeper agent. To learn about this plot and stop it,
44:50
Speaker 1: Daniel pulled from his pocket a compact alien weapon powered
44:53
Speaker 1: by the mineral found on Abados that they had found
44:55
Speaker 1: in the movie. He turns out this mineral was a
44:57
Speaker 1: fragment of the Silver Crystal, which was the most powerful
45:00
Speaker 1: objecting in the universe. He shot it at Queen Mataria,
45:03
Speaker 1: dissipating her energy and darkness. The Guau Wuld had who
45:06
Speaker 1: had infected the Sailor Scouts left their hosts because the
45:08
Speaker 1: power of the Moon Kingdom was extremely painful to them.
45:12
Speaker 1: So the Sailor Scouts now freed and the s G
45:14
Speaker 1: One team then teamed up to scour the universe to
45:17
Speaker 1: find the other Oriy and make sure they were not
45:19
Speaker 1: also working with the gua Wold to take over the
45:21
Speaker 1: Planetary System and the Planetary Scouts. The end, again, I
45:30
Speaker 1: understood most of the words. I'm gonna trust that it
45:36
Speaker 1: made sense. So if you like Stargate and you also
45:39
Speaker 1: like Sailor Moon, this will make total sense to you.
45:41
Speaker 1: You get all the references. If not, I'm sorry. That
45:44
Speaker 1: explains everything well. Before we run too long, let's wrap
45:48
