  Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, Welcome to the Larger Ner John Collider, the
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: podcast that's all about the geeky things happening in the
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: world around us and how very excited we are about them.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: I am Ariel Caston, and key, as always is the
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: amazing and wonderful Jonathan Strickland.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: I would like to quote Frosty the Snowman by saying,
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: happy Birthday.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: It's your birthday, Jonathan.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: It's your birthday, Ariel, at least when we record this.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: By the time the episode goes live, who knows.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's my birthday. Jonathan wrote a very long, snappy,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: wonderful post on my Facebook that made me get a
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: little misty eyed.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: It was as an awesome friend. We've known each other.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: We've known each other for more than twenty years at
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: this point. We've been in multiple shows together. I've been
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: in multiple podcasts together. Yeah, so like that's a friendship.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Like honestly, Ariel, I think out of my group of
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: friends who are my close friends, like not just people
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: I know, but like friends I actually actively seek to
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: spend time with. You're the friend I've known the longest
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: out of all the close friends. Yeah, like everybody else
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: I met after I met you.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know you. You used to have some closer friends,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: but I guess you fell out of touch with them, well.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: A lot of them. A lot of them got they
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: did this thing that really makes it hard to stay
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: friends with people, and that they got pregnant. Ah, and
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: then a kid happens. And I don't know if you
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: know this, but sometimes when people have kids, they suddenly
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: become much harder to get in touch with and hang
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: out with and stuff. Yeah, that happens, particularly if you
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: don't have kids, and you also are not interested in
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: doing kids oriented activities.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, See, that's the real trick. Is you just
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: need to never be available for anything anyhow, and so
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: all your friendship is online.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: I can't do it anymore. It's not enough, the online
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: friendship thing is. I find it unsatisfying. Yeah, and it
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: drives it drives me bonkers.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I know, like you need real human interaction.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Not indeed online stuff. Now, what I also need, Ariel,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: is perhaps for us to be able to do an
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: episode of Large Nurtron Collider that is shorter than two hours.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Okay, I don't mind doing that today. I'm sorry we've
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: been running long.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: No it's it's entirely my fault. I added the thing about, hey,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: let's talk about every show and movie coming out in
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: the not every, but lots of shows and movies coming out.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Which, by the way, I read an article saying that
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Jurassic Park Rebirth is going to go back to closer
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: to like the original three movies in its tone.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: So well, yeah, that's one third good news. Yeah yeah,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: because the other two and three I never was a fan. Well, actually,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: I don't think I ever watched the third one. The
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: two one was terrible, but but it was cheesy. I
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: mean it was. It was cheesy, which you could argue
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: is fine because the first movie was also cheesy. It
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: was just novel as well, so it had the benefit
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: of being new.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, the second one was passable, but I can't
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: tell you I've watched the second and third. I've watched
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: all but Jurassic Park dominion. At this point, I think,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: and I can't tell you what happens in most of them.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: They're dinosaurs.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Well, Ariel, before we get any further and we start
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: talking about what we've watched this week, I have a
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: question for you.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Okay, so it's your birthday.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Uh huh, you ask my age, I'm not answering.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: That's not what I was going to ask you. A
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: gentleman knows better, and so do I. So my question
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: for you is what is a What is a geeky
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: gift you have received at some point in your life,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: whether for a birthday or otherwise that means a lot
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: to you.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Well, I had this really great friend give me a
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Kermit the Frog shirt once from Disney.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just before you were told to throw all your
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: clothes away.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I kept it.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Anyhow, I was very pleased with that.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that that meant a lot. Gosh, I guess also.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Like the.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: It's hard, gifts mean a lot to me, regardless of
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: whether geeky or not, or big or little, because it
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: really is the thought.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: That counts, right right, It's a demonstration of someone's care
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: for you as a person.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, But I mean I'll also say, like getting
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: to go see Beetlejuice on Broadway was a really cool gift.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: That's fantastic. It's a great option.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, choice, Yeah, exponential stuff is kind of fun.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Special breaks, yeah for sure. And then I got you
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: can't see it in my background. I don't think but
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: I got a really cool Lego film camera last year,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: which was fun. Yeah that's what the meat nice and
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: there's a little guy inside. Yeah, but I mean it
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: really is the thought that counts. Like I still have
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: cards from my students from when I taught daycare.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: That's cute.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so they my students don't remember me anymore because
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: it's been so long. Oh dear God.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: But yeah, but you can brandish the card and say
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: you you wrote this to me.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, Well, like I did an artsy performance?
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Was it?
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: When?
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Was it for?
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Was it for a Dragon Con?
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Artsy? By the way, is Atlanta Radio Theater Company?
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: It was? It was around Halloween and I did an
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Atlanta Radio Theater Company show And one of my former
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: students is now a full adult and was in that
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: show with me.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Wild Yeah that's where you're like, the passage of time
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: is a cruel, mischievous jerk.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: The thing is like if like when you say our
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: friendship is twenty years, it does. It's not like it
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: feels like our friendship is new or only like five
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: years old. It feels like we've been friends for a
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: very long time. But that very long time, to me
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: is not quantifiable. Because if you've had a twenty year
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: mark on it, that just doesn't seem right.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, and technically more than twenty years, because but
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean. But yeah, but like also
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: in the post I mentioned, and I think we've talked
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: about this before, is that you know, we first met
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: on the cast of the Georgia Renaissance Festival, but that's
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: not where we really became friends because we just didn't
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: hang out at all. We were both on cast, but
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: you know, I was mostly hanging out with either people
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: who had been on cast for years already or with
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: other people who are in the Shakespeare and otherwise I
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: wasn't like fraternizing with the the newer members of the cast. Yeah, yep,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: but technically we met like twenty four years ago.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it only just a couple of years for
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: us to like connect and be friends.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, Well let's talk about stuff that we've
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: seen since the last time we recorded. And it's easy
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: for me because I ain't seen nothing. I if I did,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: I don't have any memory of it. I was going
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: to I was going to joke and lie to you
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: and tell you I went and saw Craven the Hunter,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: but Ultimately I was like, no, I can't back that up.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: I would have grilled you about it.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. And then I was like, oh, I can't.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: I could lie for maybe thirty forty five seconds before
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: it would all fall apart. Yeah.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I did watch some stuff. Largely, it's been like
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: After Midnight, which is a late night show on CBS
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: where they bring on panelists and they talk about stupid
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: internet memes that because who hosts that, Yeah, it's Taylor
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Tomlinson and it oddly has had a lot of volap
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: with a lot of dropout guests recently. And then Pete Holmes,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: who has also been on Dropout but is also just
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: flip and hilarious. Vinnie Thomas and Pete Holmes are like
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: my favorite and Maria Bamford are my favorite panelists on
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: that show.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: That's great.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but so a lot of After Midnight. But I
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: did watch the first episode of Skeleton Crew, which is
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: the the Goonies meets.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Star Wars, Yes, which your friend which our mutual friend
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Crispy said, it's so much more than Goodies meets Star Wars.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: It probably is. I I haven't gotten past the first
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: episode yet, not but not for a lack of wanting
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: just for a lack of like time time time to
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: like sit down, and like, I I've had time to
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: watch other things, because I've watched two other things, but
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: it's like I want to sit and I want to
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: pay close attention that. But also sometimes I'm like, well,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: I have this amount of time and so I want
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: to fill that. So I do plan on watching more
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Skelting Crew. It was fun. It was good. It definitely
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: like it starts off pretty action packed and a little
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: bit scary, and then it goes to very like kitty
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: K K I D D I E not K I
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: T T Y very few cats.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: It was when the run Tom Tugger showed up, I
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: was really confused.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it was fun. I watched the latest Time Quangle,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: which is the dropout Dimension twenty touring show where everybody
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: rolls basically like they have like a little bingo cage
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: and whatever ball comes out is what character they've played
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: from a past campaign that they're playing in this game.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: So they're mixing and matching characters from different campaigns and settings.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yep, and it was funny and it was good.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: It was the best one of the time Quingles so far,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I think because it it fit together the best, and
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: I feel like you could enjoy it even if you
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: hadn't watched those campaigns. And then last night I watched
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Red One.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Ah, that's the UB forty documentary, right, Red Red Woe
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Stay close to Me.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: No, it's it's the JK. Simmons Dwayne Johnson Christmas movie. Yeah.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: So I first of all, I really enjoyed the movie.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: It suffered a little bit from like I had to.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: I had to take a couple of breaks, so it
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: but just just because I had I got pulled away.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: But it was delightful. It was fun. It was funny
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: and heartwarming. The beginning in the end was Santa Claus.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Like normally I'm like, get past Santa Claus, get to
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: the action. I had the exact opposite reaction this time,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: like the bits of Santa Claus were amazing, glad, phenomenal.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it. I have
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: a feeling this is one of those that I'm probably
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: not going to catch unless someone else has it on
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: in the background or something.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, I like Christmas movies, and you know,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: I like action movies, and it has a good cast,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: and then it's also got like people like Nikki Garza
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: and j Peterson in it. So that's awesome.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: That is awesome. Well, that's cool. I'm glad that you've
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: had some fun viewing experiences. Like I said, I can't
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: think of anything that I've watched, Like everything I've watched
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: has been just stuff I've already seen before, usually because
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: I'm doing something else and I don't want to have
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: new material on because all that will happen then is
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: that I'll be like, what wait, what did they just say?
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: And I'll scrub back like forty five seconds and I'll
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: just it'll be like I watched the same movie twice
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: in a row. So I didn't do it twice in
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: a row. I did it twice at the same time
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: because I had to keep going back and seeing the
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: last scene and I don't want to do that to myself.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: And for those who are wondering, like why has Jonathan
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: so list listen and directionless, it's because my partner is
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: in Europe with her mom and I'm all alone here
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: with my dog and without someone else to talk to
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: and to bounce things off of, I'm starting to go
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: a little bit squirrely.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm busy this weekend and can't hang out
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: to help.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: It's okay. I'm going to an extremely exclusive party today,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: an extremely exclusive party, yeah, my niece's birthday. And then
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: I'm going to hang out with a couple of friends
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: and we're gonna sing karaoke.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: That sounds like an amazing day, so.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Should be nice. Well, how about we just mosey our
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: way on over to the thirty seconds or less area?
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Sure, and I will start. My first news article is
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: that the team behind Wallace and Grammat and Chicken Run
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: and Sean the Sheep and all of that is coming
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: up with a new Pokemon thing. They're doing like a
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: stop motion animated Pokemon thing. This won't be the first
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: stop motion Pokemon thing that came out earlier with Pokemon
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Concierge on Netflix, but it'll be Ardman, which is the
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: group behind Wallasey Gramas. It'll be their first venture into
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: this genre.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Wild Okay, Well, you know a lot of podcasts have
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: advertised for Casper mattresses, but Casper was just a ghost.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: What if you wanted to sleep like a vampire, Well
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: now you can with the Nosfaratu sarcophagus bed yep. It
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: looks like a large sarcophagus straight out of Nosfaratu. It
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: weighs more than two hundred and fifty pounds. The lid
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: is foam, so you don't have to worry about being
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: prematurely entuned, and it'll just set you back around twenty
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars. Sweet dreams, you've filthy animals. Thanks.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: I hate it if you thought that after two years
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Warhammer forty k was dead the TV show, not the game,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: because the Kate will never die. Well, you're in luck.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: It is not. There was a mini room, according to
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: sources recently where they talked about the creative direction for
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: the Warhammer series and that it has been greenlit. They
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: still don't have a show runner yet, but that is
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: great news for Henry Cavill, Henry Cavill's fans and people
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: who enjoy Warhammer m HM.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: The Hollywood Reporter says that Jeremy Allen White, star of
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: The Bear and the Iron Claw, is set to play
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: a character in the upcoming Star Wars movie The Mandalorian
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: then Grogu. Namely, he's rumored to play Rata the Hut,
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: son of Jaba the Hut Sadly, it doesn't sound to
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: me like they're just gonna have him show up as
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: a human and say, yo, I'm Jaba's kid, But instead
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: he'll actually be doing voiceover work for like a CGI hut.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: That is interesting. That's really interesting. If you are wondering
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: when I was talking earlier about Red One, how I
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: was able to stop it a couple of times, it's because, well,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: it has already come to Prime video. It is still
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: in theaters, but now it is also free to Prime
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: subscription members. I heard somewhere that it was originally going
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: to be a streaming movie, so this may not be
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: a big move or a sign of it not doing well.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: It has made one hundred and sixty five million dollars,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: which puts it in the top thirty five grossing movies
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: of this year. However, its budget to make it was
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: more than that, So I hope that's not a litmss
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: of how well it performed.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, maybe it'll have legs. Well. Before there was
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: the good Suicide Squad movie, there was the not so
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: good Suicide Squad movie. And now the story goes that
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: the studio interfered with director David Ayers cut of the
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: movie so much so that a studio that was better
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: known for making movie trailer made the final edit, and
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: in a response to fans who have been calling for
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: a director's cut of the original Suicide Squad movie, David tweeted,
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: I hope my real film can be shared one day,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: but don't hold your breath because no one on the
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: studio side has actually said anything about it so far.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Maybe James Gunn will say, like, you know what, no
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: skin off my nose. Let's release it.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: As long as it's not five hours. I I think it,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: like if I recall it didn't perform well in screeners.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Uh no it didn't. But like also James Gunn directed
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: the good Suicide Squad movie, So.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, for All Mankind, I don't know why I
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: started it that way. That's not where it needs to start,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: so Verytt Carnahan, who plays young John Crease in Cobra Kai,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: is going to be in season five for All Mankind,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: where he plays a high school student on Mars. It's
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: it's kind of a story about if you if you
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: are not familiar with it, it's on Apple TV about
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: humanity didn't stop the space race and now we're on Mars.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: I didn't know it was in season five, so.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: That's fun.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: But if you like Mars and you like Copra Kai,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: well maybe maybe that actor will pull out a little
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: martial arts.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Who knows on Mars where you can jump, where you
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: can jump three times as high Marshal's art. Oh very good.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: I was just going to make a joke about how
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: the gravity on Mars is one third that on Earth.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, Craven the Hunter is out now, after
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: being in previews and pulling in around two million bucks.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Early early reaction has been let's say, mixed at best,
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: and it now sounds like Sony is ready to throw
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: in the towel on their expanded Spider Man cinematic universe.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: The av Club reports that anonymous sources within Sony have
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: admitted that most of the movies in the universe just
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: aren't very good, and that the studio will stop pushing
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: secondary characters as protagonists and just focus on the next
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: Spider Man movie in the short term.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: That might be good. I don't know so. Mike Flanagan,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: who did the Hunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: and some others that I don't remember because I haven't
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: watched them, is onboard to make a Clayface movie for
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: DC Studios. It'll be a feature film. It's officially gleek greenlit.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: It's going to be a horror thriller tragedy, which Clayface's
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: story kind of is a tragedy if you watch outside
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: of the Harley Quinn story wise. Yeah, so that will
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: be interesting.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Okay, Well, The Hollywood Reporter says that Marvel is preparing
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: a series of one shot comic book issues in which
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: the various iconic Marvel characters face off against a different
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: icon namely Godzilla. So apparently Godzilla will take on such
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: heroes as the Fantastic four thor the X Men, and
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Spider Man in upcoming comic books next year, with the
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: stories themselves taking place in different time periods in the
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: Marvel universe. So this isn't just about a rowdy weekend
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Godzilla had over in marvel Land.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: I have no clever segue. Austin Butler is going to
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: be playing the titular character of Patrick Bateman in a
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: new version of American Psycho by director Luca Guadagnino. It
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: is not going to be a remake of the Christian
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Bale American Psycho it's going to be a new imagining
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: of it. I haven't seen the original, so I feel
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: like I have to watch that before I can watch
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: a new one.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: I no, okay, I would say it's not for you, Ariel.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Okay, I trust you, but I don't have to. I
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: take it back. I don't have to watch it original.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: I'm sure you could handle it. I just don't think
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: you would enjoy it very much. All right. Well, we've
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: talked about intimacy coordinators a few times on this show.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Their job is to ensure that films and series that
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: include elements like nudity or simulated sex are done in
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: a safe and professional manner, and that no one ends
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: up feeling pressured or coerced into doing something that they're
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: not comfortable with. One story we did not cover when
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: it happened is that they have officially joined the SAG
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: after a union, which means coordinators will have more job
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: security and access to benefits. Solidarity.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Nice if you heard the car horn out there that
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: was also in solidarity, honk.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: If you support intimacy coordinators.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Honk, honk okay. So, there was a pair of ruby
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: slippers that were worn by Judy Garland and the Wizard
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: of Oz that were stole like twenty years ago, stolen.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: They were stole twenty years again, they weren't just still
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: they done got around got stall that were stolen around
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: twenty years ago. I'm assuming they got recovered. But they
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: sold at auction for twenty eight million dollars, which is
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: ridiculous for some old beat up, sequined red shoes. They
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: only estimated that they would sell for three million dollars,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: So that's huge.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the second most expensive pair of shoes I
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: ever heard. So. The Game Awards were this week, and
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: taking home the top prize for a Game of the
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: Year was the platformer Astrobot, which I have not played,
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: but I have heard really great things. It won a
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: lot of other awards too, but other games that went
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: home with some trophies included Metaphor Refundasio for Best Narrative
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: as well as Best Art Direction, Final Fantasy, vin Rebirth
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: for best Score and Music, Hell Divers two for Best
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Ongoing Game, and Balatro for Best Independent Game, plus Best
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: Mobile Game in a couple of others I think. Plus,
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: there were tons of teasers, trailers, and announcements, and twenty
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: twenty five is looking to be a really big year
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: for video games.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: That's awesome because video game news kind of wasn't quiet,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: But I will say, at least for me, wasn't interesting
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: for a good while.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I think I think part of it is
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: that there's a I think part of it for me
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: is that there's this shift that's been happening toward independent
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: studios and independent game makers that it's really interesting to
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: me because I there aren't that many Triple A title
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: games that I find that compelling right now, Like they're
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: all most of them are like sequels to long standing franchises,
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: with a few exceptions like Naughty Dog has a new
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: ip called Intergalactic that's coming out. It's not like a
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: continuation of Last of Us are in Charted or anything
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: like that. But a lot of the Triple A games
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: are like Grand Theft Auto six or you know, the
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: next Assassin's Creed game or Call of Duty or whatever.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: And I'm not as interested in those because while I'm
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: sure they'll be great, they'll look fantastic, they'll sound fantastic,
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: they'll have interesting gameplay, it's not like a new idea,
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: and I don't, you know, and I particularly don't like
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: the the meta storyline of the Assassin's Creed games. I
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: find it convoluted and confusing, so I would prefer to
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: see new stuff. So the flip side of that, though,
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: is that if you're looking at these little independent games,
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: most of the time they're not making headlines unless the
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: game just becomes like virally popular. So if you look
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: at the video game news, you're like, h it seems
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: like nothing's going on, But in fact, a lot's going on.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: It's just going on at really interesting, smaller development studios. Yeah.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and like they're having games that come out that
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: I like. I like, I'm packing I cannot play because
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: I would die immediately and get so frustrated. But I
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: enjoy watching Seafoo.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: So I like Vampire Survivors. That's a great game. Do
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: you like that game, Vampire Survivors. Yeah, yeah, it's a
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: really great game. Yeah. It's really simple. Okay, So Vampire Survivors,
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: these survive vampires kinda I mean, it's more like various
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: undead things. So the way the game works is you
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: get your your It's like it's like almost like one
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: of those eight bit or sixteen bit style games, Like
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: it has the retro style of graphics. Your character automatically
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: fires whatever weapon it is that they have, and different
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: characters have different weapons, but they automatically fire it on
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: a recurring timed scale, and that time can actually increase
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: as you pick up different power ups, like you can
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: fire more frequently if you pick up the right kind
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: of power up, or you do more damage, or you
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: shoot more whatever it is that you shoot. And the
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: whole game is all about surviving wave after wave after
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: wave of enemies, and if you can survive for thirty minutes,
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: you ultimately get killed by death because you can't survive forever.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: But time, each time you make a run, you can
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: unlock stuff that gives you access to new characters and
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: new levels and things like that, and so really the
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: game is all about maneuvering, like you're just really just
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: trying to move your character in such a way that
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: you're not going to get cornered and swamp swarmed by
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: all the bad guys while you're automatically firing your weapon,
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: and you know it, it's like a lot of those
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: style games. When you first start playing, it's a little
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: frustrating because it, you know, it takes you a while
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: to kind of get the hang of it. Plus, you
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: don't really have access to any of the cool stuff,
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: but as the game goes on, you get access to
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: the cool stuff and it comes real fun.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Nice, nice, So it's a Rogue liked Rogue.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: Light sort of the game. The levels are not procedurally generated,
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: they're all pre rendered. They're endless. I mean, you could
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: keep walking in one direction forever and you're never going
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: to get to the end of the level. They might
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: loop around, although I don't think I've ever done that.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: I don't think I've gone far enough for that to happen.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: But it's kind of roguelike in the sense that you know,
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: you do gradually unlock other abilities and the capability of
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: giving characters a boost from the get go, Like like
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: you're like, oh, if I spend my points here, then
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: whatever character I choose is going to have twenty percent
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: more health next time. That kind of thing, gotcha.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Well, it sounds fun. I probably would stink at that game,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: but it sounds fun.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: It's actually it's actually not that hard. Once you play.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: You have to play a few rounds to kind of
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: get the hang of it. But after that I got
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: to a point where I had unlocked a combination of
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: things where it's literally you could walk away from the
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: game like you could just your character's untouchable because anything
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: gets even close to you, it just gets obliterated. Well,
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: I played the game until it stopped being fun because
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: there's no point. I mean, it's like, where's the challenge?
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well that's cool. Yeah. I like indie games.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: I should pay more attention to indie game news. I
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: sometimes I tried to. We sometimes try to sneak indie
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: game news into this podcast, but it's it's hard.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Other other games you should check out, in particular
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Aerial that I think you would dig Dredge. I think
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: you would really like Dredge okay, which is a love
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: crafty and fishing game.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I've heard of that.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Dredge is great. And then the other game that
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: actually has a tie in with Dredge, Dave the Diver.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: I've seen I've not played, but we've had Dave the
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Diver played in my home.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: So it's a great game. That's half of it is
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: catching fish and the other half is running a sushi restaurant.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: I uh, I think that's delightful. I also want to
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: play along that line. I want to play Subnotica. It's
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: on my VR headset. It's we modited it, and now
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: it's very smooth, which means that it moves too fast,
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: and I get very motion sicko.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: I have real problems with motion sickness with VR. I
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: never thought I was going to be that guy, because
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: for the longest time I felt like I was ironclad.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: But then I thought back to when I was a kid,
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: and I remembered, Oh, yeah, I remember that swimmy feeling
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: I would get if I were reading in the back
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: of the car for too long.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I get motion sick pretty easy with video games,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: like even playing Portal, I have to take a drama meine, So.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: I mean I get it like it. That's how I
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: am now too. And I'm worse with simulated rides, like
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: rides that have screens, like even stuff that's relatively smooth
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: and simple, like Soaring at Disney World. If I've ridden
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: another simulated ride before I write, sorein, sorein is enough
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: to put me over the edge of that point.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Start Star Toars will get me sometimes, Yeah, that's that's
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: the worst of it. Or the really old ride that's
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: no longer there, the Body's ride, when you got caught
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Body Wars, when you get caught in the heart beat.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was like it was like, hey, how about
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: star Tours, but also we're gonna punch you in the kidneys.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah. I did ride Mission to Mars recently and
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: came out that one. Fine, so that's good.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: Well, did you ride the orange side or the green side?
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: The orange side.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: Okay, the wood that doesn't rotate, then that's no.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Sorry, I rode the one that rotates whatever.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: I thought that was the orange side, but I could
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: be right.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I just assumed that orange meant danger
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: and green meant go, so.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: That would make way more sense, honestly.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: So, but I read, I read. I rode the actual
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: simulation simulation.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: So yeah, the one, the one that gives you the
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: G forces and stuff. Yeah, yeah, I've only ridden that
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: I think maybe twice with the G forces one. And
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: and it's true what they say. If you do ride
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: that ride, keep looking forward, don't look to You're gonna
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: sit there. You're gonna want to look to the side
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: because everyone's told you don't do it. You're gonna want to.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: But that will that will ruin the next like two
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: hours at least of your Epcot experience, because you'll just
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: be like, I need to find a bench and I
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: need to lay down.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: They I mean, they pretty much put vomit bags directly
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: in your face when you go in it. So you
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: should just listen to them.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they they're not kidding around.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's fun. We didn't we weren't intending to
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: talk about a lot of video game news.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we actually didn't include any of the video game
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: trailers because we figured that if we had started doing that,
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: this episode would be three hours long. Because they did
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: a lot of trailers at the Video Game Awards this week.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: I will say, if you are a fan of the
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: Witcher series of video games, the trailer for the Witcher
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: for I thought was spectacular.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there was also a game. Was it a part
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: of the Video Game Awards or separate thing that like
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: the Cozy Core games that all came out recently.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: I think that was like I think I think that
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: was specifically released to be kind of in conjunction with
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it was an official like partnership
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: or anything, but I know that it was essentially trying
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: to capitalize on the fact that the game awards are
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: this week?
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Gotcha? So many Capaberry games, so many.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Games, capit bar bar Uh. Let's talk about stuff that
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: we did we put in the lineup, sure.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: The first of which is we got a trailer, not
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: just a teaser in the What's coming out from Marvel
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: thingy stinger, but an actual trailer for what of season three?
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: They say it's the final eight episodes, So I guess
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: this is the final season for now. Anyway, for now,
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: it feels a little weird because there there's definitely some
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: like some through line in the on series, but a
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: lot of it is standalone episodes and you can do
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: those at nauseum infinitely. Maybe it's the last eight series
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: for the current characters.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Maybe I I still haven't seen series two. I haven't
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: seen season two of one. If I saw them, I
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: saw the first one and I really enjoyed it. I
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: just haven't watched season two yet. It's it's on my
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: list along with New Girl, which honestly, I should have
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: started watching that this week. So yeah, I haven't, I will,
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: I haven't. Yeah, I haven't seen season two, but I
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: did notice that in season one, like the last couple
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: of episodes did have like like it started off as
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: all being very self contained episodes, but by the end
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: they're starting to bleed into each other, So I guess
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: maybe that's it. But honestly, I think when they say
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: these are the final eight, it's it's you should take
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: that with a grain of salt, because assuming that the
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: Marvel Cinemat Universe persists, there will be opportunities to tell
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: other stories that did not happen in the MCU. Maybe
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: they just don't want to spend all their multiverse credit
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: in an animated series and they want to keep some
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: ideas reserved for potential live action movies.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: I mean that makes sense. I did see in the
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: what If season three trailer that there was I don't
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: remember her name, Kat Dennings, Cat Dennings. Yes, there was
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: Darcy and Howard the Duck, which just grabs me immediately.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: It's definitely Kat Denning's voice in it.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then I think we saw Hory again, which
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: was the Native American the mohawk hero that they introduced
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: last year, which you haven't seen yet, but it's a
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: really fantastic episode.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: And they also teased a you wielding Storm.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: Yes, I'm for that. I am for getting some X
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: Men back into my Marvel. I really enjoyed the most
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: recent X Men cartoon.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but we've had a mutant in Marvel for a
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: couple of years now. That's true because Ms Marvel was
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: revealed to be a mutant, despite the fact that she
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: has no connection to.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: Mutine Scarlet Witch. Scarlet Witch and her brother are mutants,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: and they introduced those all the way back in Egypt.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: But they're not. They weren't even Lissa as being altered
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: like that. You never really find out where their power.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, presumably Hydra ended up experimenting on them and
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: creating them, but you don't really know.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, but definitely there are immunes because like,
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: aren't her kids also X Men at certain points her.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: Oh like uh Wiccan and whatever the fast kid's name
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: is or whatever.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: Keep wanting to say SPEEDB. But that's a different Marvel.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: Totally different character.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, totally different, A very sad character.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: But what if looks good? I like the trailer and
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: it makes me want to actually get off my button
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: watch season two, and I will once my partner returns
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: home from Europe.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, next we're going to talk about Okay, so not
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: only is it my birthday today. It is also Dick
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: Van Dyke's birthday. You know, everybody's like, who do I
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: share a birthday with? That is the coolest person I
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: share a birthday with is Dick Van Dyke, who turned
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: ninety nine today.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: I also share it with Steve Busimi.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, Steve A. Chevy's cool. But Dick Van Dyke
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: went out a little bit.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, sure.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: But he recently, in preparation for his ninety ninth birthday,
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: he and his wife produced a seven minute long kind
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: of music video retrospective about family with Coldplay, where he
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: dances and they're singing and all of his family is there.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: And I personally find it absolutely touching and what a
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: beauty full gift to give to his family.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was very heartwarming and wholesome and also funny.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: Dick Van Dyke's a very funny guy. Like he made
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: fun of his own age. They asked him to close
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: his eyes and think of loved ones and he said,
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: if I do this, I'm going to fall asleep at
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: my age. That's what happens. And he was just very
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: funny about it. He said, maybe I should I should
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: just not off in the middle of this but yeah,
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: it was really cute. He even did a little bit
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: of a dance where it was kind of a throwback
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: to his old Dick Van Dyke show. And yes, it
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: is really wholesome.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and also inspiring because Dick van Dyke, I mean,
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: he does sometimes use a wheelchair or a cane or whatnot,
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: but he stays active and he takes care of himself,
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: and shouldn't we all aspire to be me.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: He's ninety nine and still cracking jokes like I can
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: only I could only hope I make it to that,
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: And am you know, just as sharp and funny and active.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, I like this a lot. It was
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: really sweet. I had seen it come up earlier in
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: the week but had not watched it, so I didn't
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: watch it until you put it on our lineup. And
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: I'm glad that you did because it made me watch it.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: I really enjoyed it.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: I'm glad I recommend it to everybody. I in a
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: reverse turn of events, saw like all week, maybe the
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: last two weeks. This not the last two weeks, but
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: all week. The trailer time has no meaning. The trailer
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: for the Gorge. Yeah, the George, the George, The George,
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: hor The Jorge, The Garrage, No, The Gorge, which stars.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: On You Taylor Joy and Miles Teller.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Miles Teller. And I was like, I don't
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: want to watch this trailer, and then Jonathan put it
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: on the list and I'm kind of glad I did
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: because it looks really fun to me.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, I put it. I put it. It's
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: like how to flow by sniping at each other because
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: we talked about this. I remember we talked about this
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: when we had heard the concept for it, but we
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: had not seen anything about it, and we thought it
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: was a wild concept. But they Anya, Taylor Joy and
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: Miles Teller each play snipers who are stationed at towers
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: that are across from each other with a gorge in
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: the middle, and their orders are not to shoot at
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: each other, but rather to guard against things that are
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: in the gorge and trying to get out. So there's
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: some sort of monstrous thing or things that's inside the gorge,
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: and they are the first line of defense against anything
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: crawling out and potentially threatening humankind. And meanwhile, they start
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: to interact with each other in the limited ways that
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: they can, considering that they're both you know, apart from
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: each other because a gorge is in the middle, and
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: it looks kind of cute.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: It does. They aren't supposed to talk with each other either,
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: but they totally.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: Do because I mean, you're going to be by yourself
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: every day, day and day out. Eventually you're going to
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: be like, hey, so what's your view like?
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah. One of the people who gives miles toward the
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: mission says that the gorge is the gate to Hell.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: And when I was a kid, I read the Cooper
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: Kid Adventure series by Frank Peretti, which where a bunch
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: of like sci fi means Bible book fantasy sci fi books,
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: and one of them was the military guarding the gate
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: to literal Hell and these kids finding their way down there,
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: and it was kind of scary and kind of fun.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: So this gives me that sort of vibe, but you know,
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: not in a religious aspect.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so it sounds fun. I think it looks
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: like it's such a weird high concept. But one, you know,
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: y'all know how I feel about my girl Anya Taylor Joy.
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: She can do no wrong in my eyes, and I'm
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: curious enough about this, and it does look like I
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: don't know, at what point in the film, maybe the
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: third act, things really start to pick up on the
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: action front. But I'm all for the longest protracted meet
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: cute in history as two snipers start to very slowly
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: interact with one another without being able to talk to
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: each other because they're too far apart.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: I think, I think this sort of story, and I
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm not the writer or director, and I
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: haven't looked at it. I would assume that it would
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: do better by like a two act sort of a
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: premise as opposed to a three act. So I know
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: that the Act one is going to be them getting
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: their Act two is going to be them developing a relationship.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: In Act three is going to be the drama. But
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: I think I think if they brought drama in a
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: little earlier, like at the halfway point, I would give
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: both sides a chance to breathe.
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, we saw the gorge, We saw hints
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: of a hellish landscape hidden by fog and the depths
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: of a chasm. We also got a trailer for a
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: different vision of hell, the latest in the twenty eight
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: Days Later series, the trailer for twenty eight years Later.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I've talked about previously. I enjoyed twenty
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: eight days later. It was definitely hard and very scary,
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: but I thought it was a really clever take on
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: the whole zombie trope. I don't really remember. I feel
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: like I watched twenty eight weeks later, but I don't
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: really remember it. There's a chance that I just told
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: myself I watched it to call my completionist brain.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: I was not.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: But I thought I was prepared for this trailer, and
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: I was not. This trailer is creepy.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah. No, they did a great job, especially with the
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: recitation of the poem in the background. Yes, it's Rudyard
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: Kipling's Boots. Boots, Boots is the poem. It's a poem
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: that is, it was about a specific group of British
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: soldiers and their experiences on forced marches. And the poem
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: goes from just the monotony of doing the same thing
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: over and over again, in this case marching, to the
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: point where how that monotony starts to impact your sanity.
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: And meanwhile, you're watching all these very this escalation of
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: dramatic and sort of horrifying clips related to the movie,
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: while that poem just gets louder and louder and man,
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: it was so effective.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: So effective. Whoever that voiceover artist is who read that
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: and completely went on that dive of sand loss deserves
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: an oscar. And the thing is, I'm not as familiar
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: with Rudyard Kipling's boots, so I had to look up
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: what it was, and at first I thought it was
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: someone just losing their mind. So that's how effective it is.
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: Like even without knowing the source material, it still hit
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: me hard.
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, you know what. I also was thankful for
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: a trailer that was so psychologically effective without making use
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: of the trope of let's take a children's song, slow
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: it down, move it to a minor key, and make
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: it creepy.
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, for sure. We know that from the trailer
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: and articles as well. We know Cillia Murphy will be back. Yes, Killian,
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: Killian Murphy. I'm so sorry. Killian Murphy will be back.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: We think we see him as like an emancipated rage monster.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: But you mean an emaciated rage monster.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: Emancipated I don't know either way.
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, I mean he could have been it could
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: have been otherwise kept in captivity and now has been emancipated.
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: But he's definitely emaciated. Yeah, that it's possible that there's
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: this one shot of a dramatically emaciated figure. And there's
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: been a lot of speculation that that, in fact is
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: supposed to be Silly and Murphy. And I'm like, since
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: that's how you pronounce it, Killian Murphy. And I was like,
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: I hope that's not true, only because if it is true,
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: I think it's a terrible, terrible mistake to include it
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: in the trailer. It should be it should be left
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: as a surprise in the film if that is supposed
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: to be Killy and Murphy's character. Also, I think it's
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: sad because I mean, I really want that character to
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: have made it.
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: Me too, I have heard, I've written some articles I
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: haven't heard. I've written some articles that it is not
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: It looks similar to Killian Murphy, but it is not
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: his character. And again, I hope that's true as well,
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: because after going through the full events of twenty eight
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: days later, you would hope that he would have a
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: better idea of how to survive.
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, totally, because this is the issue I have
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: with follow ups and sequels and stuff like. Yeah, you
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: could argue it's realistic that ultimately, at some point or another,
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: he would have contracted the rage virus and that you know,
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: maybe he went for a really long time before that happened,
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: but ultimately that's what happened, and maybe that is realistic
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: and everything. But I typically hate watching a film where
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: whatever was accomplished in the first film is wiped out
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: in the subsequent film. This is, by the way, total
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: bizarre comparison for me to make. But this is one
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: of the big problems I have with Ralph rex the Internet,
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: because or Ralph breaks the Internet. Because Reckett Ralph is
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: all about him. Once he gets past his own needs,
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: it's all about him getting Vanelope back into sugar Rush.
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: And then in the second movie, she's like, yeah, I
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: don't want to be part of this game anymore. And
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: I'm like, are you freaking kidding me? We did a
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: whole movie about how you need to be in the game.
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: I hope in this third movie, I hope that they
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: keep it at a trilogy and that they find the
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: cure because in the second movie, I know this only
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: from reading Wikipedia, because as I mentioned earlier in this episode,
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: I don't remember the second movie, they had some people
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: who were carriers but did not suffer the effects of
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: the rage virus and therefore we're hoping to find a
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: cure and I hope they do.
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: Which is also similar to lots of other zombie stories
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: see also Well, I guess I shouldn't say because it's
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: technically a spoiler and maybe some people haven't seen the
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: series yet, but some series that relate to zombie like folks,
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: there's similarities there is all I'll say.
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: Like with with like mushrooms and stuff.
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, you know, like sometimes sometimes it's all
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: involving Pedro Pascal because he's a fun guy.
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, I follow.
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: It's just fun, fun guy.
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: I get it. It's very funny.
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: I'm laughing, just silently so it doesn't mess up the audio.
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: I appreciate that. I appreciate your incredible self control.
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: Oh I failed. We also get a trailer for the
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: season three of Invincible. I still haven't watched season two.
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. It's so good.
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: It's much the second half of season two.
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: It's you definitely need to see it. I mean, it
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: is what Invincible always is, which is that it gets
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: pretty grim and exceedingly violent, but it's Also, I think
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: well done. This trailer seems to suggest that uh gosh,
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: I can't even remember the character's name, apart from Invincible
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: being the the what people refer to him as. But
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: it seems like he's he's finally had enough and he's
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: not going to allow himself to be manipulated by the
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: government anymore. And meanwhile the government's like, no, we seriously
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: need to manipulate you. Stop resisting so much.
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yep, that's what I g that's again, not having
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: seen the second half of season two, that's what it
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: feels like to me too.
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: And his little brother has grown up quite a bit?
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: Is that the little brother that his dad had with
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: the alien.
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: The purple The purple kid who is in the trailer
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: is his infant brother because the species that Omni man
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: mate it with ages at a much more accelerated rate
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: than say, humans do.
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: Gotcha?
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: Interesting? Sorry for anybody who that's a spoiler for, but
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: I wanted to know. And it's my birthday and.
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: It's from the comic books too, so yeah, it's this
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: looks good. Invincible season I gotta say more excited about
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: Invincible season three than I am with the Boys Season
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: five I think now.
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, especially after Kripke said the rails are off
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: and anything goes I'm like, I can't imagine where you're
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: going to go from that.
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I my my willingness to endure more like misery
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: only goes so far, which is why I like I
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: bailed off Game of Thrones too, right? Was that? Like
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: I get to a point where I'm just like, I
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: don't need a story that's just about how miserable people
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: are and that anyone who is decent is a goner
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: for sure, because it's a miserable world. Like, I don't
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: need that, y'all. I need some hope. I mean, it's
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: fine for the people who find it entertaining. I'm not
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: yucking anyone's yum. I'm just saying for me personally, I
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: need to have some hope in there or else I'm like,
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: what am I even doing?
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: So you are not looking forward to the Return of
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: the Living Dead next Christmas?
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: Oh No, I'm absolutely looking forward to the Return of
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: the Living Dead. That's different because Return of the Living Dead.
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: Have you ever watched Return of the Living Dead the original? No?
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: I haven't even watched Night of the Living Dead. I've
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: seen bits of it and I need to watch it.
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was want to say, Ni the Living Dead,
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: you could do. It's really not that graphic. It's you know,
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: and it's like all of Romero's works are really more,
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: in fact, a lot of what a lot of zombie
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: works are about. It's more about how humans interact with
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: each other, that is about the ghules or zombies.
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: But that's the thing is I find humans interacting with
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: each other poorly so much more upsetting and scary than
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: any monster.
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think it's just like, you know, you need
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: to have an outside threat to force people together who
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: normally would not choose to be together, and then see
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: how the dynamic plays out. And I get what you're saying.
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: Like some things, like I think Neither Living Dead did
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: it really well. I think some shows like The Walking
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: Dead went to such extremes that nothing could bring me back.
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: It was just too gritty and pessimistic and cynical. I
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: just couldn't do it. Return of the Living Dead is more.
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: There's some comedy in it. It's not an outright comedy,
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: but there's like a lot of over the top absurd
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: stuff that happens in Return of the Living Dead. And
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: it's done on purpose. It wasn't like they weren't trying
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: to be absurd. Again, it's not an outright comedy, but
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: there's a lot more comedic elements to it, and it's
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: a silly movie that also happens to be very gross
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: and filled with zombies and stuff. So I am curious
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: if what we're getting is going to be more of that.
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: The interesting thing to me is, I just assumed when
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: you put Return of the Living Dead teaser in our
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: lineup that it was going to be a remake. It's not.
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: It's not a remake or a reboot. It's a direct
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: sequel and it's set in nineteen eighty five, so it's
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: technically a period piece.
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: You can't say that, Jonathan.
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: I know, and yet it's true.
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: This is another trailer that I thought found very effective.
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: It was super creepy.
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah with very little Yeah. Yeah, this one you just
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: see you don't even really get a great look at
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: the zombie. But it's a zombie slowly dragging a Christmas
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: tree into a cemetery.
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: That may or may not have a human body in it.
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I just figured it was a tree, but maybe
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: there was a human body.
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: I thought I saw a face, and I went back
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: and I looked like three times that I couldn't tell.
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: So great job a visual department.
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it was very effective. At second, it makes
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: me wonder, actually, how much if any of the humor
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: will make its way into the final film, because I'm like, well,
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: on the one hand, this is kind of an interesting juxtaposition,
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: like you have this snowy cemetery and a zombie pulling
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: a fully lit Christmas tree into the cemetery until the
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: extension chords give out. So there is some kind of
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: like dark humor potentially going on there. Nothing overt, but
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: the possibility of it. I just don't know if that's
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: what's going to make its way into the film or not.
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: I hope so.
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: I hope so, because gritty, like you said, gritty without
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: some levity or some humanity is.
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: Hard. Yeah, it grinds you down, Like you know, at
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: the end of the day. It's not like I feel
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: that all entertainment needs to be lighthearted and have a
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: happy ending and be joyful or whatever, but some of
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: it should be, Like I just I can't if it's
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: if everything is dark and grim and foreboding, then I
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: don't know. Where I turned to in order to soothe
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: my brain.
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: You turn to Star Trek section thirty one. I don't
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: think I do, so, you know, maybe you're right because
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: Star Trek Discovery did have some very dark motifs, especially
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: in the earlier well, I guess all throughout, but especially
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: in the earlier seasons. Section thirty one focuses around Michelle
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: Yeoh's character in the alternate universe, where she's started off
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: as like a badass dictator kind of a character and
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: not a good person at all, and maybe had a
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: change of heart and now is building her own suicide squad.
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this this trailer.
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: For it maybe look better than the first trailer for it.
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: This one made it feel like it had a bit
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: more stakes and through line than just come.
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of like a dark operative, you know,
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: setting within Star Trek. I guess there's nothing wrong with that,
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: and I hope that people who dig it really get
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: a lot out of it. I'm one of those old
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: fogies who I miss the days of Star Trek also
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: being like optimistic and aspirational and sure there are times
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: where we fall fall short and we fail, but ultimately
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: we're striving toward goodness, and I have real problems with
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: all the Star Trek that's like, let's do that, but
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: dark and gritty.
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: So I really feel like especially the later seasons, like
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: maybe season three and on at least the last two
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: for certain of Discovery very much were there, very much
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: were there?
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they lost me in the first season. That's that's
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: the problem is that I just I was like, I'm
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: not buying what they're selling.
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: The final two seasons I absolutely loved and I really
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: enjoy Strange New Worlds, although it does ping pong back
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: and forth kind of like orvild it between like the
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: fun episodes and the heavy episodes, but still it does
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: hold on to some of that optimistic og Star Trek feel.
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I again, like I said, I hope that other
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: Star Trek fans, you know, the folks who really dig
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: this kind of direction for the series and the franchise.
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: I hope they really like it. It looks like it's
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: very well made. It's just again like it's hard for
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: me to get excited about it because it's such a
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: huge departure from what I think of as Star Trek,
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: which is not to say that what I think of
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: as Star Trek is the right or only way. It's
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: just because that's what's ingrained in my head. It's very
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: hard for me to go along with other stuff that
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: has the Star Trek name but so different to me.
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: And that is a big thing that Star Trek has
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: been dealing with because they have been keeping their fans
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: very loyally, but they aren't getting new fans, so they
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: have to tell stories that will bring a new generation
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: into Star Trek while still trying to appease the older generation.
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: But they just don't enjoy the same kind of stories. Often,
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: not always. Sometimes we have stories that everybody enjoys, but
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: it is it has been one of the things that
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: Star Trek has been struggling with is how to bridge
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: that gap.
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: So I think it's also they figured out it's also
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: a bigger ask for your audience to buy into the
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: idea of the future being a time where we've solved
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: all of our problems and now we're focused on exploration
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: and discovery, when right now, for a lot of people,
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: when they're looking into at least the near term future,
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: it's really stressful, I agree, and so it just makes
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: it hard to be like, well, how am I supposed
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: to believe in a world where we don't need money.
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: You know, everyone's healthcare is taken care of you. You
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: have the freedom to pursue whatever you want. You don't
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: have to do anything as for a living. You can
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: get on a ship and go into space and discover
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: brand new worlds and all that. Like, it's hard to
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: even imagine that as a possibility when you might be
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: worried about things like you're how secure you are and
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: having a home or whether or not you're gonna be persecuted.
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: Yep, yep. Fun times, fun times. Times that might make
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: us all feel a little curmudgeony, Which brings me to
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: our next trailer for Old Guy.
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, this is this is where Jonathan reveals that
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: he's definitely an old guy. Yeah, so Old Guy. It's
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: a trailer. It's got Christoph Waltz in it and Lucy
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: Lou and Waltz is playing uh and at a a
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: over the hill hit man and Lucy Lou I believe
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: is supposed to be a handler. I think so. And
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: the problem is that Waltz's character, as he ages, he's
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: encountering some physical limitations to his capabilities that are impacting
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: how well he done kills people to death, so he's
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: then assigned a younger hit man to train up in
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: the ways of hit mannerness.
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: Honestly, this just reminds me of Lethal Weapon, but where
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: Myrta is the main character. H yeah, he's getting dual
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: for this.
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. I was thinking like that that
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: could have been the alternative title.
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, this, Yeah, it looks cute. It didn't, it didn't.
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: It's just the first trailer, but it didn't quite hit
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: the comedy punches that I wanted it to.
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: Agreed, Yeah, I was like, how odd because the premise.
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, it's similar to other movies we've seen, right,
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: like Red, the film with Bruce Willis and Helen Mirren
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: and Morgan Freeman and you know, etcetera, etcetera. John Malkovich, Yeah,
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: those movies dealt with aging operatives who are still capable
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: of taking care of business even when the younger folks
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: are sent after them. And I was hopeful that this,
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: even if it even if it didn't prove that he
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: was super capable even as an old man, that it
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: will at least have a kind of sense of humor
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: that was a bit more lively because as I watched
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: this trailer, I had the same feeling. I was like,
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: I like the idea behind this, I like the premise,
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: but the execution doesn't feel like they quite nailed it.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: But again, like you said, it's first trailer.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: First trailer. You know, I enjoyed the D and D movie,
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: where as the trailers made me think I definitely would not.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: So trailers can be misleading. Same thing with like Suicide
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: the First Suicide Squad. Hopefully the same thing with Harley
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: Quinn season five, because I watched that trailer and I'm like,
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: haven't I seen all of this already?
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I still have only seen the first season of
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: Harley Quinn, which I enjoyed, but like so many other things,
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: I just need to sit down and watch the rest
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: of it. The big move in this trailer is that
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: Harley and Poison IVY decide that Gotham maybe is a
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: little too like on Fire and covered in giant rats
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: for their likings, so they're going to at least temporarily
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: relocate to Metropolis.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I will. I like, there's more I could say
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: about it, but I don't. I don't want to spoil
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: it for you. If you go to watch in the future.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: So if the series, yeah.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: Have they gone to Metropolis before, you can say.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: That they haven't. But like Harley's had a bit of
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: a job shift poison Ivy, I think in season four
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: already makes the mistake of working for Lex Luthor, So
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: why is she doing it again? Stuff like that.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I I mean it still looks funny, it still
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: looks irreverent as crazy. Like you know, the first season
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: was raunchier than I expected. Not that I was turned
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: off by it. I wasn't like upset by it, but
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: I just wasn't. I had not prepared myself for that eventuality.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: And then once I did, I was like, oh, I
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: can get into this. It's pretty funny, It's well written.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: I'm enjoying the wild takes on some of these characters,
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: especially clay Face. He's probably my favorite. Yeah, yeah, although
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: King Shark is way up there.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: Though clay Face and King Shark are delightful. I will
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: say that as the seasons go on, they also are like, well,
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: how are you going to top ourselves? Let's be a
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: little more raunchy, so got it? Which is less for me, but.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, something that I think is for you is
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: heart felt expressions of wanting to help other people. And
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: we got that in a very irreverent form when we
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: got a thing that Ryan Reynolds created where he's he's
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: raising money for Sick Children's Hospital in Canada, and he
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: did it with a video of him as Deadpool. And
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: then there's Kidpool in the back of a sleigh which
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: has a jingle bell truck balls on it, and they
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: realize that they are the wrong spokespeople to try and
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: raise money for children because they are our rated characters
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: and they need they need someone who's who's wholesome and
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: family friendly to help them out. So who goes to
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: save them?
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: Linda Carter for w which, for anybody who doesn't know,
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: was the original TV wonder Woman.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and they that Ryan Reynolds has the very playful
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: as Deadpool has the playful what a wonder full woman?
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because she's DC and their marvel and so like
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: she tries to put on the wonder Woman costume and fails.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah she Lin Carter can still get it.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, she's good lord like that woman, gorgeous,
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: gorgeous woman. And if she wants to transform into wonder
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: Woman letter but no, she turned she gets into a
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: giant like onesie ugly sweater type thing. Yeah, but it
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: was very cute. It was such a cute little moment.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: And of course, like they have the link that people
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: can follow in order to donate to six Children's Hospital,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: and they at the end there's a little notice that
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: says that Ryan and Blake will match the first five
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars in donations as long.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: As they're made before midnight on December twenty fourth.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 2: That's true, Yes, thank you.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so, yeah, it's great, it's really cute. I love
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: that Ryan is working with his daughter again as Kidpool,
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: and uh yeah, it's just such such a good way
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: to take such a dirty character and make it a
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: little more joyful.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I love this man. I would have marked out
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: if Wonder Woman had shown up next to Deadpool. I
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: would have been like, Okay, if this is all I
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: ever get of Marvel and DC crossing over, it's working.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. Yeah.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: I enjoyed it a lot. I enjoyed the the presentation
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: of the piece. Uh did you enjoy the trailer for
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 2: the next movie on our list?
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: Novacane?
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: So. In Novacane, Jack Quaid is a person who can't
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: feel pain and therefore puts himself in dangerous situations. Allah,
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: a superhero kind of like super or kick Ass or
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: something like that. Yeah, to rescue a girl.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: I think it. I think kick Ass didn't. Wasn't that
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: a thing for that character too? Is that?
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Same? So?
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: Well kick Ass could feel pain, but I think.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: I couldn't remember. I thought that the whole reason why
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 2: he decided he could become a superhero was that his
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: ability to feel pain was diminished. Like he can definitely
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 2: feel out of breath and everything, but I couldn't remember
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 2: because it's been a long time since I've seen that movie,
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: if I'm being honest.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: But he has a delayed reaction.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: Got it, got it pain? So this is a real thing.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: There are people who lack the ability to feel pain,
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: and it's also a real thing that many of them
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: don't make it to adulthood because pain is our body's
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: way of alerting us to danger, and if you are
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: unable to feel pain and you're in a dangerous situation,
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: you could end up becoming unalive because you were unable
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: to avoid it. So there is a moment in the
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: trailer where one of his someone who's known him for
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: a long time, sees m and expresses surprise that he's
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: not dead. Yeah, and he's.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: Watching some of this stuff he does in the trailer.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised that he's Yeah.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he he doesn't like because he doesn't feel pain.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: He doesn't have a sense of hesitation to do things
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: that are result that result in severe bodily harm, like
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: up to and including reaching into a fryar to retrieve
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: a gun that's in the bottom of molten hot oil.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: And that's the thing is like, at one point he
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: punches his already bloody fists into some broken glass to
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: become like Wolverine. I think that's cool. That's a great
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: use of the power. You're gonna have some cut up knuckles,
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: the sticking, like fully cooking your hand. You don't recover
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: from that, yeah, without regenerative superpowers. Yeah.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: He talks about how he also grabs a cast iron
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: skillet that's been on a cooktop for a while and
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: uses that as a weapon, and a guy grabs it
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: and then he starts screaming and he's like, yeah, you've
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: got some third degree burns in your hands. You should
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: run that under cold water. And I'm sitting there thinking like, no,
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: you also have third degree burns on your hand. Just
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: because you can't feel it doesn't mean that your hand
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: hasn't been incredibly damaged.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: Also, not cold water, cool water. You don't want to
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: You don't want to put ice on a third degree
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: burn because you'll kill those cells even worse.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but anyway, Yeah, it's it's entertaining and jack Quade
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: is great in it.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I think it'll be fun. I think it'll be
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: super bloody and messy, and that might be hard for me,
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: but I think the concept in the execution will be fun.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: I need to addend him to my addendum. Kick Ass
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: got severely beat up in his rehabilitation. They put a
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: bunch of metal plates in his body and that caused
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: him to be able to take traditional meetings because it
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: they absorbed a lot.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: Of I see. Okay, okay, Well, I also want to
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 2: mention that Jack Quade. If you are a big fan
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 2: of Jack Quade, he's appeared in a couple of videos
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: for Red Letter Media over the last year or so,
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 2: and that includes him sitting down to talk about the
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: movie Galaxy Quest in an episode called Review. They did
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: a review of Galaxy Quest and that was very entertaining.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: Seems to be a super charming guy, and it's just
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: kind of cool to Like. I've been following the Red
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: Letter media guys forever and I just think of them
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 2: as like filmmakers and YouTubers, but like filmmakers on the
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: level of tiny, little experimental films, nothing like major And
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: then Jack Quaide shows up to hang out with them,
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, oh my gosh, it's the guy for
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: the boys.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: And from Lower Decks and all that stuff. Yeah, we
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: have two more stories. We are hitting close to an
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: hour and a half, so let's pole through these.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, like ten minutes. That's going to go away,
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: because that's when I had to get up and go bathroom. Okay,
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: but no one of them is the We got a
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: trailer for the Looney Tunes, the film The Day the
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 2: Earth Blew Up. I know what I think about this,
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 2: but I'm curious what you think about it.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: I don't understand why this is getting a theatrical released
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: when Coyote in Roadrunner did not, because this, to me,
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: Loney Tunes has always been a little bit of reverent
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: and raunchy at times. This feels closer to run and
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: stippy than Looney Tunes for me.
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 2: I think the problem I had was that I felt
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 2: like Daffy Duck is a little too zany. Like the
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: Daffy Duck cartoons that I love the most are the
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: ones where he's cantankerous and cranky and he's usually pitted
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: against bugs Bunny, and it's that like he just is
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 2: so upset that Bugs Bunny has really good fortune, and
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 2: he always has bad fortune, even though he brings it
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 2: on himself. So to see him as more of a zany, weird,
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: like high energy, absurd character, even though I know that
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 2: that's kind of how they portrayed him, and say, who
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: Framedert Roger Rabbit or whatever, it does like there's a
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: disconnect because that's not who Daffy Duck is in my mind. Yeah.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: Also, Porky Peg and Daffy Duck sounded awful similar.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well the mel Blank has long gone unfortunately, but
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: I know, yeah, I feel the same. I'm like, I
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: wish you had kept Acme or whatever it was called
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 2: the Coyote Movie because everyone who saw that said that
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: they thought it was really good. And of course it
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: will never be released because Warner Brothers Discovery famously wrote
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 2: it off for taxes.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, maybe this will be good too. Maybe I'm
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: not giving it a fair shot. I'll I'll see what.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: Maybe I don't know that I'm gonna watch unless I
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: hear from my friends like, no, you really need to
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: see it. The trailers didn't do it justice. I don't.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 2: I think I'll probably give this one a pass.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: Same same. What I will not give a pass is
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: a revival of Malcolm in the Middle, because I really
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: enjoyed that show.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if you did. The ones I
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: saw I thought were great. I was never like a
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: hardcore fan where I had to catch every episode, but
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: the episodes I saw were really entertaining and I that's
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 2: where I thought that Brian Cranston was a brilliant comedic actor.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: And it wasn't until I saw him in Breaking Bad
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: where I was like, holy crap, this guy can do everything.
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: Same same. I didn't come into Malcolm in the Middle
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: until later on because my husband was a fan of
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: the show. But yeah, I really enjoy it. This new
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: revival will be the fortieth anniversary of the Brian Cranston
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: and Brian Cranston's character and his wife's character's marriage. They're
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: inviting the kids back, and Frankie will be showing up.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: Frankie Munis's character will be showing up with his wife
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: and daughter and maybe the other kids too, although the
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: youngest kid, Dewey, retired from acting several years ago.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 2: So interesting. Yeah, it's supposed to be a four episode
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: any series. It's going to be on Disney Plus. And yeah,
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 2: they did a very short video promoting it, like or
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: really not even promoting it, just announcing that it was
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 2: going to be a thing. That was just a cute
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 2: little like meta announcement sort of deal. I really am
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 2: curious about it. I can't wait to see Brian Cranston
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 2: acting in an overtly comedic role again. And gosh, I
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: hope I hope they slip at least one or two
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: breaking bad references in there somehow.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: Me too, that would be amazing. Maybe getting Aaron Paul
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: in there.
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: Maybe, or maybe maybe giving Frankie Munez his kids like
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 2: Blue Rock Candy.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: As a trump that would be amazing.
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 2: Like, there's so many things you could do without it
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 2: being overt. But you know, there's a sly little nod
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: to the audience. I mean, it's Disney plus, so they're
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 2: not going to talk about meth I imagine, but I would.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: Not probably not fun. Fact, I went to a Hanson
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: concert once in Georgia and Frankie Munitz was there, and
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: I know that because everybody kept screaming up into the balcony.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: We see you, Frankie.
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: So that was fun.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: Years ago.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: That's That's a story, is what that is.
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: That's a story for sure. That's also all we have
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: to talk about this week.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we got through it all.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: Mm hmm, yeah, only an hour and a half this time,
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: not even that yet, not even that close close though. Yeah,
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: so this has been a lot of fun. We will
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: not be around next week. I don't know about the
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: week after. Jonathan and I have to kind of connect
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: and see what our schedules look like. But next week
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: I will be traveling and not available to record.
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 2: So yeah, we're just gonna We're gonna wish you all
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: happy holidays, whatever you observe or celebrate, and I hope
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: that when we come back, you know, it'll probably be
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: close to the new year, if not the new year,
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 2: and we will have a whole another twelve months of
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: geekiness to look forward to.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: I hope for that too. In the meantime, if people
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: do want to write to us to wish us happy
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: holidays or to talk about something they're excited for the
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: coming year, how do they do that? Jonathan?
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 2: Well, if you want to get in touch with me,
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 2: what you have to do is first you've got to
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 2: reflect on the fact that you have so many relationships
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 2: in this life, only one or two will last. You
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 2: go through all the pain and strife. Then you turn
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 2: your back and they're gone so fast. Oh yeah, they're gone.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 2: They're gone so fast, so fast. So hold on to
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: the ones who really care, because in the end they'll
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 2: be the only ones there. When you get old and
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 2: like me, you start losing your hair, can you tell
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 2: me who will still care? Can you tell me who
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: will still care? Mbopop boom, yeah yeah. And once you
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 2: finish reflecting on that, then you can turn around and
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: you'll see me in a little blonde wig posing behind
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: some drums, and I'll say I'm the youngest one. And
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: if that doesn't turn you off, you could ask me
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: your question.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: Uh, man, you really planted a flower? Planted a seed,
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: a flower arose Jonathan?
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: If I loved that.
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: Song and ironically, I love that song.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: Start Start eighty four. I used to play a version
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: of it where they would put in like other things
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: like feel good and like Kermit the Frog and all this.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: It was amazing. Anyhow, if you want to reach us
