• 1:08
  Speaker 2: we're talking about right there?
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: What's the premise on this one?
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: So it's it's about a guy who invented this cold
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: fusion technology that was intended to be used for free
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: energy for the world, but the government wanted to weaponize it,
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: and uh, you know, a few tweaks here and there,
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: something that was gonna be very good for the world
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: turned into something that could be very bad. So he
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: took it and he went into the into the woods,
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: into hiding, and he's been living off the grid for
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: five years.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: And oh wow, I think that's what really really, you know,
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: I love that about the script.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: When I first read it, as this guy was just
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: he's completely unplugged, living this life that's as basic as
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: you can get, and it's very innovative, and his gadgetry
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: felt very uh very mcguiver.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I like and I like that. So that's
• 1:56
