Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, Welcome to the Largen or drunk Ladder podcast,
0:16
Speaker 1: the podcast that's all about the geeky things happening in
0:18
Speaker 1: the world around us and how very excited we are
0:20
Speaker 1: about them. I'm Ariel casted and with me as always
0:25
Speaker 1: is uh, well not as always is my cat Harvey,
0:29
Speaker 1: who is looking over my shoulder right now, but then
0:31
Speaker 1: also my wonderful, amazing friend and co host Jonathan Strickland,
0:35
Speaker 1: and Ariel. I am so excited. I can't wait for
0:37
Speaker 1: us to get through this episode because I have this crazy,
0:41
Speaker 1: uh new source book for Dungeons and Dragons that I've
0:46
Speaker 1: created and it's gonna be like a huge success and
0:49
Speaker 1: I'm so I'm so jazz to talk about it. Well,
0:53
Speaker 1: we will talk about that a little bit later in
0:55
Speaker 1: the episode, um, because you might you might want to
0:59
Speaker 1: hold up. There's a whole bunch of stuff going on
1:01
Speaker 1: with the D and D Open gaming license right now,
1:06
Speaker 1: as probably most of our listeners know. Yeah, yeah, well
1:10
Speaker 1: we'll have our take on that, and yeah, I was
1:13
Speaker 1: just being a cheeky little monkey to talk about such things,
1:19
Speaker 1: but yes, we will definitely be dedicating a little bit
1:21
Speaker 1: of time to talk about that. It's an ongoing, developing story.
1:25
Speaker 1: So obviously we're not going to uh definitively state our
1:32
Speaker 1: thoughts one way or the other, because um, you know,
1:36
Speaker 1: it's a it's flexible. Yep. And we do have a
1:39
Speaker 1: thirty seconds or less to start this episode off with.
1:41
Speaker 1: But before we do, I just want to say thank
1:43
Speaker 1: you to listener Sean for reaching out and telling us
1:46
Speaker 1: that we were derelict, but in a much nicer way
1:50
Speaker 1: to not include Doctor Who in last week's list of
1:53
Speaker 1: things that are upcoming, because yes that we're getting the
1:56
Speaker 1: new doctor this year, and the trailer for the special
2:01
Speaker 1: with um uh Donna Noble and the doctor tenth doctor
2:07
Speaker 1: uh David Tennant and um Neil Patrick Harris, it just
2:11
Speaker 1: it looks bonkers. It looks delightful. So thank you Sean. Yes,
2:15
Speaker 1: yes see, I disagree. We don't have a new doctor.
2:19
Speaker 1: We have an old doctor, so to me it's just
2:21
Speaker 1: a real But we have an old doctor followed by
2:23
Speaker 1: a new doctor I think anyhow, that is something I
2:27
Speaker 1: am excited for in So thank you Sean for reminding
2:32
Speaker 1: us and calling us out. Even if Jonathan's a little
2:34
Speaker 1: cranky about Doctor Who. Usually I'm cranky about everything, okay,
2:39
Speaker 1: but now I'm gonna give you give you my crankiness
2:42
Speaker 1: in short bursts, because it's time for thirty seconds or less,
2:47
Speaker 1: and I have the first story, so I will get
2:50
Speaker 1: started now. So we've heard that Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis film,
2:56
Speaker 1: which is a science fiction film, or at least a
2:58
Speaker 1: film that has science fiction tones to it, is currently
3:02
Speaker 1: in trouble. It's shooting here in Atlanta where Ariel and
3:05
Speaker 1: I are, but a whole bunch of the crew has
3:08
Speaker 1: walked off. The creative team was fired. People are talking
3:12
Speaker 1: about this being similar to the Trouble's Coppola ran into
3:16
Speaker 1: with Apocalypse. Now, so who knows, Maybe we'll see a
3:20
Speaker 1: documentary that's better than the movie done. Uh yeah, well
3:23
Speaker 1: we'll see. It could be brilliant, it could be horrible. Okay, next,
3:27
Speaker 1: are you ready, Jonathan, Yes, go all right. William H. Macy,
3:31
Speaker 1: who I just watched in the latest episode of The
3:33
Speaker 1: Connors last night, delightful show. Uh It has joined the
3:36
Speaker 1: cast of the upcoming Planet of the Apes movie, Kingdom
3:40
Speaker 1: of the Planet of the Apes. It takes place after
3:42
Speaker 1: the last one that happened, which I think was War
3:44
Speaker 1: for Planet of the Apes in two thousand and seventeen. Um,
3:47
Speaker 1: I'm not caught up on the movies. I really did
3:49
Speaker 1: like the first one, UM, and I like William H. Macy,
3:52
Speaker 1: so I'm sure whomever he's playing, which we don't know yet,
3:55
Speaker 1: will be brilliant. Yeah. The thing I like most about
3:58
Speaker 1: these movies how many of those they can fit into
4:03
Speaker 1: a title. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes of
4:08
Speaker 1: the Yeah, yeah, you're like, come on, okay, I'm sorry,
4:13
Speaker 1: my next one and I'm ready to go. The Internet
4:18
Speaker 1: is wondering if Kristen Ritter is going to reprise her
4:22
Speaker 1: role as Jessica Jones in the upcoming Daredevil series, because
4:26
Speaker 1: Miss Ritter recently took some selfies of her at the
4:30
Speaker 1: Gem while wearing a Daredevil T shirt and kind of
4:34
Speaker 1: hinting that she's getting ready for something, which, of that's
4:37
Speaker 1: enough to to fuel speculation, but of course, we have
4:40
Speaker 1: heard no word as of yet, and if it is true,
4:43
Speaker 1: Marvel is probably pissed at her. Okay, yeah, I like
4:47
Speaker 1: her care, I like her portrayal Jessica Jones. I don't
4:49
Speaker 1: necessarily need a Jessica Jones series, but I'd be happy
4:52
Speaker 1: to see her and they roll again, all right. I mean,
4:55
Speaker 1: I love I love her version of Jessica Jones. I
4:57
Speaker 1: would actually like to see street level characters in MC.
5:01
Speaker 1: U like more of them because I think I think
5:05
Speaker 1: that would give them opportunity to explore a lot more
5:09
Speaker 1: stories rather than these huge, galactic, multi dimensional ones. I agree.
5:14
Speaker 1: I agree, Um, Okay, we're getting a little bit out
5:16
Speaker 1: of thirty sex. We'll bring it back in a second. Everybody, Uh,
5:19
Speaker 1: I agree. I really liked her in the first season
5:22
Speaker 1: of Jessica Jones. It was very difficult to watch, so
5:24
Speaker 1: not everybody could watch it. I have multiple friends who
5:26
Speaker 1: said just the content was was too much for them. Um,
5:31
Speaker 1: I think she did great. I thought the second and
5:33
Speaker 1: third seasons of her standalone show We're not great, and
5:37
Speaker 1: um so I do want to see more street level characters.
5:40
Speaker 1: I don't know if she warrants her own entire TV show,
5:44
Speaker 1: though I would be totally up for getting more defenders. Agreed. Yeah,
5:49
Speaker 1: everything I've I've only watched the I think I've only
5:52
Speaker 1: watched the first season. Maybe I tried to watch the
5:54
Speaker 1: second season, but yeah, I think that it's pretty universal
5:57
Speaker 1: that the first season was great and or at least
6:01
Speaker 1: was really well done, because as you say, it is
6:04
Speaker 1: incredibly traumatic storyline. But yeah, I've gone way too long now,
6:09
Speaker 1: and I apologize to all of our listeners out there
6:12
Speaker 1: for violating the thirty seconds or less rule? Ariel, are
6:15
Speaker 1: you ready for your next one? I am? Okay, go
6:19
Speaker 1: all right. So we are getting a new try Gun show,
6:23
Speaker 1: try Guns Stampede. We might have talked about it, or
6:25
Speaker 1: we might have cut it from a previous lineup. However,
6:28
Speaker 1: we just got news that Johnny Young Bosh, who was
6:31
Speaker 1: the English voice actor for Vash the Stampede in the
6:33
Speaker 1: previous TV series, will be coming back to play Vash again. Uh.
6:37
Speaker 1: If you are not familiar with try Gun, it's it's
6:40
Speaker 1: a fun like Western anime series. Uh and um. The
6:45
Speaker 1: voice actor also was Adam Park, the second Black Ranger
6:48
Speaker 1: in Mighty morphin Power Rangers. Cool, okay, I'm next up
6:53
Speaker 1: and here I go. Giancarlo Esposito is tired of playing
6:57
Speaker 1: bad guys and he wants to be a good guy.
6:59
Speaker 1: Nows and thank you've done well, that's not thirty seconds.
7:04
Speaker 1: He apparently has talked he would like to be Professor X.
7:07
Speaker 1: He's apparently talked with marble Um executives, though nothing like
7:12
Speaker 1: about being in the m c U and has put
7:14
Speaker 1: it out there that he would like to be Professor
7:16
Speaker 1: x UM. There's fan casting of him as Professor X.
7:19
Speaker 1: I remember that distinctly when people were first talking about
7:23
Speaker 1: the X Men coming to the m c U. Who
7:25
Speaker 1: could play what? And he was one of the names
7:27
Speaker 1: that fans were bandying about as a potential Professor X.
7:30
Speaker 1: I think it's brilliant. I agree, and I'm totally behind
7:34
Speaker 1: him saying, you know, I've played it. He plays a
7:35
Speaker 1: lot of villains and I can get him. Get behind
7:38
Speaker 1: him saying, yeah, we'll play a good guy for once.
7:40
Speaker 1: And also Professor X is it's not always good. He's
7:43
Speaker 1: usually good, but he's not always good. Um. But he
7:47
Speaker 1: also he's complicated. He's called you know, as people are um.
7:50
Speaker 1: Gian carl Esposito also does want a Gus Spring prequel
7:53
Speaker 1: for Breaking bad Um, which is what he I think
7:58
Speaker 1: is most known for. I would be for Guest Spring
8:00
Speaker 1: is a really dynamic character with a lot of backstory
8:03
Speaker 1: that we don't get much of. So yeah, we we
8:06
Speaker 1: only get a hint of the things that happened in
8:08
Speaker 1: South America before he came to the United States and
8:11
Speaker 1: built up his Fried Chicken and meth Amphetamine Empire. Yeah, okay,
8:17
Speaker 1: apparently we did. You know, some weeks, guys, we do
8:20
Speaker 1: really good at picking our thirty seconds or less, and
8:22
Speaker 1: some weeks we do really bad. This is the second.
8:25
Speaker 1: Well that's okay, because this next one we could we
8:27
Speaker 1: could dedicate an entire episode to this next thirty seconds
8:31
Speaker 1: or less, but we will. We will do our best.
8:35
Speaker 1: So Ariel, are you ready? I am ready? Go all right.
8:39
Speaker 1: Brendan Frasier Brendan Fraser stepped out of UM the entertainment
8:44
Speaker 1: industry after some horrible, horrible things that happened to him
8:48
Speaker 1: that we're not his fault, um and is. But now
8:51
Speaker 1: he's making a comeback and he's brilliant, and he has
8:54
Speaker 1: said in an interview that he would be up for
8:56
Speaker 1: playing being in another Mummy are uh Mummy movie or
9:01
Speaker 1: to get that franchise back going and being a part
9:04
Speaker 1: of it, um if. I don't know if he could
9:07
Speaker 1: play the same character, but I would be. He's such
9:11
Speaker 1: a good actor, and he's from every everything I've heard
9:13
Speaker 1: about him and all the people that tertially that I
9:16
Speaker 1: know that have worked with him. That's I may not
9:19
Speaker 1: have used a word correctly there Um he's delightful and
9:22
Speaker 1: I'm all for him doing anything and everything he can cool. Yeah,
9:26
Speaker 1: I mean, I wish him all the best and to
9:30
Speaker 1: get incredible roles and to continue to work. I mean,
9:35
Speaker 1: to me, Brendan Frasier is sort of the definition of
9:38
Speaker 1: the working actor. Like he has that kind of mentality,
9:41
Speaker 1: like he loves to work and he's always looking at,
9:45
Speaker 1: you know, what his next gig could be. And that's
9:48
Speaker 1: kind of his approach. Like there are different ways to
9:50
Speaker 1: approach acting, and I feel like he takes a very
9:53
Speaker 1: sort of pragmatic, kind of practical approach to landing jobs
9:58
Speaker 1: and getting work done. That doesn't mean that he doesn't
10:02
Speaker 1: care about it, but that he views it. He views
10:05
Speaker 1: it as I mean, that's his job, and um, you
10:07
Speaker 1: know it's he is. He has made such entertaining films
10:12
Speaker 1: in the past. I would love to see him in
10:14
Speaker 1: more stuff, whether it is heavy dramatic stuff or more lighthearted,
10:19
Speaker 1: adventurous kind of stuff like he used to do back
10:22
Speaker 1: in the I mean, right now, you know he's in
10:25
Speaker 1: Dooom Patrol and he's in he was just in the
10:27
Speaker 1: whale Um and you know this is it's great to
10:31
Speaker 1: see him making a comeback because he spoke out. I
10:33
Speaker 1: think it was uh, he experienced some sexual abuse as
10:38
Speaker 1: a young actor and spoke out against it and kind
10:40
Speaker 1: of got blacklisted for a while and is still sticking
10:42
Speaker 1: by his his morals and um, I think he boycotted.
10:46
Speaker 1: Was it the Golden Globes that just happened? So um,
10:49
Speaker 1: you know, I really appreciate UM an actor that really
10:54
Speaker 1: stands up for what's right before UM taking advantage of
10:58
Speaker 1: opportunities for themselves ELFs. And you know, he, like he said,
11:02
Speaker 1: he's very versatile. He can do super dramatic, he can
11:04
Speaker 1: do light hearted and fun. So I'm I'm very excited
11:07
Speaker 1: he's back and making more content. Yeah something Now we're
11:12
Speaker 1: ready to move into our news story something that I'm
11:14
Speaker 1: excited about. But boy howdy, did this most recent trailer
11:19
Speaker 1: really nailed down how dramatic this film is going to be?
11:24
Speaker 1: Was the new ant Man film that's coming out this
11:26
Speaker 1: year Man, the Quantumnia film where we're going to get
11:30
Speaker 1: Kang reintroduced. He was originally introduced in the Low Key
11:35
Speaker 1: mini series spoiler if you haven't watched that. But yeah,
11:39
Speaker 1: I guess, like if you're the kind of person who
11:41
Speaker 1: just watches bits and pieces of Marvel Entertainment. You're probably
11:46
Speaker 1: left wondering what the heck is going on most of
11:49
Speaker 1: the time because they have really interwoven these stories together. Yeah,
11:54
Speaker 1: this new trailer, honestly, I was worried it was going
11:58
Speaker 1: to be way too spoiler. There's so but it seems
12:00
Speaker 1: like there's so much going on in the Quantum Verse
12:02
Speaker 1: for this new ant Man movie that I don't think
12:04
Speaker 1: it was. Um Personally, it looks interesting. It does look
12:09
Speaker 1: a bit more dramatic, but it's an ant Man heist movie.
12:11
Speaker 1: They're all his movies, so I'm sure it's going to
12:14
Speaker 1: have some fun in there. Um. Maybe they'll meet the
12:17
Speaker 1: real Bobba Yaga in the Quantum Verse. Okay, Yeah, First
12:20
Speaker 1: of all, I have a whole thing about Bobba Yaga,
12:22
Speaker 1: but I'm not going to bring it up because we
12:24
Speaker 1: don't have a John Wick story in the lineup. But
12:27
Speaker 1: it would have to do with the fact that they're
12:29
Speaker 1: using the wrong word because Bobba Yaga is different from
12:32
Speaker 1: what they're trying to say than John Wick movies. But anyway, Um,
12:37
Speaker 1: they know. I was gonna say though that the the
12:41
Speaker 1: the feeling I got when I walked away from seeing
12:43
Speaker 1: this trailer was that some heavy stuff is about to happen,
12:47
Speaker 1: like kind of like how we were saying with Guardians.
12:50
Speaker 1: It looks like not everyone's going to make it out
12:52
Speaker 1: of Guardians. I'm not convinced that there won't be at
12:55
Speaker 1: least a couple of deaths in ant Man quantum Mania.
12:59
Speaker 1: Like they're setting up the big, big bad for this
13:03
Speaker 1: series of phases. So, if I had to guess, it
13:06
Speaker 1: looks to me like the critical uh problem in Quantum
13:13
Speaker 1: Mania is that Kang wants to get out of the
13:15
Speaker 1: Quantum Verse, wants to use uh ant Man and his
13:20
Speaker 1: compatriots as the way to escape the Quantum Verse and
13:24
Speaker 1: thus begin his reign of terror across the multiverse, and uh,
13:30
Speaker 1: you don't do that without breaking a few years. I
13:34
Speaker 1: agree it honestly, Like King, they've sent King up to
13:39
Speaker 1: be such an interesting character. I really like Jonathan Major's
13:42
Speaker 1: in Um Lovecraft Country. I thought he was a phenomenal
13:45
Speaker 1: actor Um, very very nuanced. Um really made me feel
13:50
Speaker 1: for him as King. He is like and part of it,
13:54
Speaker 1: I don't have a lot of a lot of you know,
13:57
Speaker 1: content to go off of. He was at the very
13:59
Speaker 1: end of low Key where he was all over the place, uh,
14:03
Speaker 1: kind of like a theater kid. And then in Quantum Mania,
14:07
Speaker 1: where he changes motivations within the trailer, or at least
14:12
Speaker 1: it seems that way. Um, it feels to me like
14:16
Speaker 1: he is playing Kang from the tiny bits we've seen
14:19
Speaker 1: the way that ghost looked visually in the second Aunt
14:24
Speaker 1: Man movie. Um, kind of the woman who was phasing
14:27
Speaker 1: in and out where she just kept like getting all
14:29
Speaker 1: these ghost images of herself, you know, hence the name. Uh.
14:32
Speaker 1: And like I feel like Jonathan Majors is playing all
14:36
Speaker 1: of these ghost images of the character of Kang, and
14:40
Speaker 1: I'm really intrigued to see what the central motivation and
14:46
Speaker 1: character of this person will be. Well, yeah, because in
14:48
Speaker 1: the in the comics at least, and this has explained
14:52
Speaker 1: a little bit in low key. Uh, there there's a
14:55
Speaker 1: Kang and all these different multi verses, like in all
14:58
Speaker 1: these different individual universes, and they kind of seek each
15:04
Speaker 1: other out to try and become like the master Kang
15:09
Speaker 1: of everything and everyone like like like there's a Kang
15:12
Speaker 1: that's specifically going around murdering other Kangs in an effort
15:16
Speaker 1: to stop a cataclysmic event, that kind of thing, And
15:21
Speaker 1: you get the feeling like this is the king that
15:24
Speaker 1: you definitely don't you don't want to let them out
15:28
Speaker 1: of the cage. And I mean, obviously he has to
15:30
Speaker 1: get out of the cage because otherwise the rest of
15:32
Speaker 1: the phase five and six don't happen. So in my
15:36
Speaker 1: brain immediately when you're talking about the one King running
15:40
Speaker 1: running around killing other versions of himself, I'm like, Okay,
15:43
Speaker 1: so he's playing a game of Highlander by himself. But
15:45
Speaker 1: then I went one King to rule them all, um
15:50
Speaker 1: the Highlander, it was different immortals. It's more like he's
15:53
Speaker 1: playing a version of the one the jet leads. Okay, yeah, fair, fair,
15:58
Speaker 1: But now we've got a couple great mash APD tour list.
16:03
Speaker 1: That's true. That's true, the now in future King. Uh
16:09
Speaker 1: so we've also I was just gonna say, could could
16:11
Speaker 1: you say that he is causing a disturbance in the
16:13
Speaker 1: Force of the mc U Oh nice, nice. I was
16:18
Speaker 1: going to do a much closier segue, but yours is better.
16:22
Speaker 1: So so, yeah, we got a trailer for a documentary
16:26
Speaker 1: that's called a Disturbance in the Force that's about one
16:28
Speaker 1: of the great lost works of entertainment. Uh piece that
16:34
Speaker 1: a lot of people know about, some people have bootleg
16:39
Speaker 1: copies of, but was has long since been disavowed by
16:44
Speaker 1: the powers that be. Reportedly, the guy behind the whole thing,
16:49
Speaker 1: ultimately behind the whole thing, wanted to destroy every single copy.
16:52
Speaker 1: We are, of course, talking about the immoral class immortal classic,
17:00
Speaker 1: the Star Wars Holiday Special. Yeah. Yeah, so now we
17:04
Speaker 1: get you didn't want it to be made, you didn't
17:07
Speaker 1: want to watch it. Well, maybe you did, maybe you
17:09
Speaker 1: regretted it, maybe you loved it, But now you get
17:12
Speaker 1: to see all of the turmoil behind it. I love
17:14
Speaker 1: that the trailer for this documentary starts off with um
17:19
Speaker 1: with an interview with Harrison Ford where he just denies
17:23
Speaker 1: remembering making it and then um like strangles the host
17:28
Speaker 1: for asking him about it. It's very funny. I hope
17:30
Speaker 1: that was a bit and not actual anger. I'm sure
17:32
Speaker 1: it was a bit. Oh, it was, clearly it was
17:34
Speaker 1: definitely a bit. But yeah. There there's there's a lot
17:37
Speaker 1: of little clips of people directly connected to Star Wars
17:40
Speaker 1: who were, you know, actually talking about it. Uh, And
17:44
Speaker 1: then the rest of the trailer goes into you know,
17:47
Speaker 1: all these different folks talking about the making of the
17:50
Speaker 1: Star Wars Holiday special. How did this become a thing?
17:53
Speaker 1: How did the decisions to incorporate like television stars of
18:00
Speaker 1: the late seventies to just play various random characters within
18:04
Speaker 1: the Star Wars universe like b Arthur um and and
18:08
Speaker 1: you know it's just Harvey Corman, those kind of folks.
18:12
Speaker 1: It's very weird special. If you've never seen it, I
18:17
Speaker 1: cannot recommend watching it. There's it's probably all on YouTube
18:22
Speaker 1: at this point. But I don't recommend watching it simply
18:25
Speaker 1: because it's not a so bad it's good kind of thing.
18:29
Speaker 1: It's just it's a slog to watch that it is, Yeah,
18:33
Speaker 1: the MST three. Okay, guys, don't even like touching it.
18:36
Speaker 1: But if you do watch it, watch it with friends. Um.
18:39
Speaker 1: And that's the only way to get through bad slog movies.
18:42
Speaker 1: If you just need to be get that Chivo right
18:46
Speaker 1: and be ready to to ride that fast forward button,
18:49
Speaker 1: because there are sequences where you're just like, this is
18:54
Speaker 1: this is just pain? Like either that or maybe you
18:57
Speaker 1: like take that time to ask each other how they're
18:59
Speaker 1: doing and what ambitions they have for the year or whatever,
19:03
Speaker 1: because trust me, you do not want to actually watch
19:06
Speaker 1: what's happening on the screen. There are some people who
19:10
Speaker 1: love The Holiday Special Jonathan for what it is, not
19:14
Speaker 1: for for being um something we don't know if we're
19:20
Speaker 1: going to love or not. Because I'm gonna move on.
19:22
Speaker 1: We could just get into this back and forth. I
19:24
Speaker 1: don't think The Holiday Special is good, but um, I
19:27
Speaker 1: did have fun watching it for certain definitions of the
19:31
Speaker 1: word fun. Uh, we don't know if we're going to
19:34
Speaker 1: have fun however, watching the Borderland's movie because original director
19:38
Speaker 1: Eli Roth has stepped off to move on to his
19:40
Speaker 1: next next project, and we're getting a bunch of reshoots
19:43
Speaker 1: from Tim Miller, who if that name sounds familiar, it's
19:48
Speaker 1: because he's the director of Deadpool, right, So reshoots are
19:53
Speaker 1: not unusual. It often happens with movies where you get
19:57
Speaker 1: to the edit and you realize, oh know, we need
20:02
Speaker 1: a little more material here because this isn't clear in
20:05
Speaker 1: the film, like the film no longer makes sense, or
20:10
Speaker 1: we need another scene here to to carry the energy forward.
20:16
Speaker 1: You know, there are a lot of different reasons, or
20:17
Speaker 1: it may just be that, uh, you know, we could
20:19
Speaker 1: do that better. Sometimes even that's the thing. So re
20:22
Speaker 1: shoot does not necessarily mean a film is in trouble. Uh.
20:26
Speaker 1: And bringing in a different director sometimes as an indicator
20:30
Speaker 1: that a movie studio has lost faith in the original director,
20:34
Speaker 1: but in this case, it really does seem like it's
20:37
Speaker 1: more of a matter of scheduling deadline. The The The
20:43
Speaker 1: News outlet stated that this was not a case of
20:47
Speaker 1: eli Roth being fired from Borderlands, but rather that it's
20:51
Speaker 1: a scheduling thing. So with all that in mind, there,
20:55
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any reason yet to worry about
20:58
Speaker 1: the quality of the film. You know, we still haven't
21:02
Speaker 1: seen anything like even a teaser for this yet, really
21:04
Speaker 1: not really, and um yeah, I think I think it's
21:08
Speaker 1: too early to make a judgment. Honestly, the most ominous
21:12
Speaker 1: thing to me is that I for like, this movie
21:15
Speaker 1: was talked about and then kind of fell off the radar,
21:17
Speaker 1: and now they're like reshoots. So when like, you forget
21:20
Speaker 1: a movie is even happening and then you hear about reshoots,
21:23
Speaker 1: it can it can feel a little bit um ah, unstable,
21:30
Speaker 1: I guess, But there's there's no reason to believe that.
21:33
Speaker 1: That's how I feel about the d n D movie. Right,
21:36
Speaker 1: Like the d n D movie kind of we got
21:39
Speaker 1: that one trailer that was very goofy, and then it
21:44
Speaker 1: kind of dropped off the face of the planet for
21:47
Speaker 1: I mean for a little bit. I think we have
21:49
Speaker 1: the trailer like five or six months ago. Um. But
21:52
Speaker 1: after we talked about this last week, Jonathan, I went
21:54
Speaker 1: online to look to see if anything else had been
21:57
Speaker 1: brought up about it, and they have like released all
22:00
Speaker 1: like behind the scenes and snippets about different characters or
22:03
Speaker 1: things with the cast. So they have been releasing some
22:06
Speaker 1: some more content. It just hasn't been more trailers. Yeah,
22:09
Speaker 1: because I haven't been seeking it out. I haven't been
22:12
Speaker 1: seeing it, which is weird because my YouTube algorithm keeps
22:16
Speaker 1: trying to share with me, uh, men's rights videos, which
22:21
Speaker 1: is about as far away from the person I am
22:25
Speaker 1: as you can get. And I'm wondering if YouTube is open.
22:27
Speaker 1: I mean probably not. They probably aren't. Um. Now that's
22:34
Speaker 1: that's weird. Every once in a while, I'll just get
22:36
Speaker 1: like this long string of ads that I'm like, why
22:39
Speaker 1: is this? Why are these ads? I'm getting something that
22:43
Speaker 1: fell off of everybody's radar and then came back and
22:46
Speaker 1: then fell off, and then came back and then fell off.
22:49
Speaker 1: Is the Community movie. Because it's been talked about for
22:52
Speaker 1: a long time and hasn't made any traction. Well, it
22:56
Speaker 1: didn't make traction for a long time, but now it
22:58
Speaker 1: appears that it really, most sincerely is going to be
23:02
Speaker 1: a thing. Joel McHale was on a talk show and uh,
23:06
Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel, I believe, and Jimmy asked him about the
23:09
Speaker 1: possibility of the community stuff and he says, we're shooting
23:12
Speaker 1: in June, so it looks like it looks like all
23:16
Speaker 1: systems are go. You know. The last we heard there
23:19
Speaker 1: was there was a a kind of a gentle commitment
23:23
Speaker 1: on the studio side to produce a community movie that
23:25
Speaker 1: would be meant for Peacock, so streaming on Peacock, but
23:30
Speaker 1: we there was no word of a script yet. Dan
23:33
Speaker 1: Harmon had said that they needed to get a script together,
23:36
Speaker 1: and we didn't know which of the actors were going
23:40
Speaker 1: to come back. We know now that most of the
23:44
Speaker 1: actors are definitely signed on, but still Donald Glover and
23:47
Speaker 1: et Nicole Brown Are and Chevy Chase are among those
23:52
Speaker 1: who have not been confirmed to return. And I know
23:57
Speaker 1: that I know for a lot of people, Uh, without
24:00
Speaker 1: Donald Glover and and Evan it would be really it
24:05
Speaker 1: just wouldn't feel right like it wouldn't feel like community
24:08
Speaker 1: so much. So here's hoping they're able to be brought
24:11
Speaker 1: on as well. And again, this one's going to be
24:14
Speaker 1: for Peacock, So yeah, I guess we're I guess we're
24:17
Speaker 1: really doing this. If they don't get Donald or Evan back,
24:21
Speaker 1: are you going to still watch the movie? I'm sure
24:23
Speaker 1: I will. I mean, I watched the sixth season, the
24:25
Speaker 1: Yahoo season, so I watched the entire season that pretty
24:30
Speaker 1: much didn't have them in it, and it's it has
24:34
Speaker 1: its moments, it's still funny, and the characters are still
24:38
Speaker 1: the characters I like, but but obviously the chemistry is
24:42
Speaker 1: different because Donald Glover in particular, really brought an energy
24:47
Speaker 1: into that cast that no other character is able to bring,
24:53
Speaker 1: Like it's it's it's you, you miss it when it's gong.
24:59
Speaker 1: Donald Glover is an amazing actor, and I'm sure that
25:01
Speaker 1: he could step back into the role of Troy, but
25:04
Speaker 1: he's also I mean, everybody is so much older now
25:07
Speaker 1: and he was definitely one of the younger characters, so
25:09
Speaker 1: I wonder if even the character would lose some charm
25:12
Speaker 1: with him stepping back into it now these these years later. Yeah, yeah, like,
25:16
Speaker 1: how would you treat the passage of time for that character,
25:19
Speaker 1: would he have lost some of the naivete and the
25:24
Speaker 1: kind of um thickness because he he he constantly gets
25:31
Speaker 1: things wrong or misunderstands things, so presumably some of that
25:35
Speaker 1: would have faded away. How would that manifest in the character,
25:40
Speaker 1: you know, like ten years later? Um? Because you, like
25:44
Speaker 1: you say, Ariel, you don't want you don't want everyone
25:46
Speaker 1: to be static because that that's that doesn't feel like
25:50
Speaker 1: that's a good choice. But if you change them too much,
25:53
Speaker 1: then you run into the risk of potentially losing the
25:57
Speaker 1: thing that had everyone fall in love with the series. Yeah, yeah,
26:01
Speaker 1: well regardless of what they do. I only have a
26:04
Speaker 1: few months now to catch up on Community. Um, but
26:08
Speaker 1: I'm adding it to the end of my list. I
26:10
Speaker 1: have mainlined that series. I think I've watched the whole
26:14
Speaker 1: thing all the way through at least three times. I
26:17
Speaker 1: think I'm only in season two or three. Um on Netflix.
26:21
Speaker 1: But speaking of adults playing teenagers, uh, we got great
26:29
Speaker 1: first look at the trailer for the new Pink Ladies
26:33
Speaker 1: television series. The Pink Ladies, if you are not aware,
26:35
Speaker 1: were the like the Girl Gang in Greece. Yeah. See
26:40
Speaker 1: now the Pink Ladies packed is to act cool, to
26:43
Speaker 1: look cool, and to be cool until death. Do they
26:47
Speaker 1: part think pink that actually comes from Greece too? Did you? Yeah?
26:53
Speaker 1: You remember that? Real well, Jonathan, I don't. I don't
26:56
Speaker 1: think you're a good fit for the Pink Ladies, though
26:59
Speaker 1: I own Greece too on Blu Ray. Now ask me
27:03
Speaker 1: if I own a copy of Greece. Do you own
27:06
Speaker 1: a copy of Greece? I do not. That's that's interesting
27:09
Speaker 1: because I did enjoy Greece better than Greece to um
27:13
Speaker 1: to Greece too. I enjoy Greece to the way you
27:15
Speaker 1: say those Star Wars fans enjoy Star Wars Holiday Special. Look,
27:20
Speaker 1: I get it, I get it, And you know, to
27:23
Speaker 1: be fair with this trailer, obviously, it is definitely not
27:27
Speaker 1: the same actors from the original movie in this new
27:29
Speaker 1: TV series. And I don't even know if it's adults
27:32
Speaker 1: playing teenagers in the in the series because I haven't
27:34
Speaker 1: looked up the actor's ages. Hollywood's real good about hiding
27:38
Speaker 1: stuff like that. Um, but it looks like it's This
27:42
Speaker 1: show is also for Paramount Plus, it looks like, you know,
27:45
Speaker 1: a musical retelling of of how the Girls got together.
27:48
Speaker 1: It feels very true to the original stories. Yeah, I'm
27:53
Speaker 1: not sure if it's even supposed to be. I mean,
27:56
Speaker 1: maybe it's supposed to be the Pink Ladies of the
28:00
Speaker 1: first Grease film, but it's set four years before Greece,
28:05
Speaker 1: so nine. So if they're freshman, then yes, that would
28:08
Speaker 1: be the same group, right, because by the time, as
28:12
Speaker 1: we know, at the end of Greece, everyone we've met graduates,
28:17
Speaker 1: so with apparently the exception of Frenchie, but everyone else graduates.
28:23
Speaker 1: And so if this is n four, does that mean
28:26
Speaker 1: that these are four freshmen who formed the pink Ladies
28:30
Speaker 1: or is this an earlier class where they create the
28:34
Speaker 1: pink Ladies and the pink Ladies becomes kind of this
28:38
Speaker 1: mantle that gets passed down from class to class. And
28:41
Speaker 1: I don't know the answer to that either. So looking
28:44
Speaker 1: at the Coming Soon dot net article, it looks like
28:49
Speaker 1: the main characters are Jane, Olivia, Cynthia, and Nancy and Hazel.
28:53
Speaker 1: So my guess is that it's a group that founds
28:57
Speaker 1: the pink Ladies and then later brings in yeah everybody else, right,
29:03
Speaker 1: because either that or they either that are in the
29:06
Speaker 1: process they end up giving each other nicknames like Rizzo
29:08
Speaker 1: and Frenchy. But yeah, we will have to. I assumed
29:12
Speaker 1: Rizzo was like the last name of the character. I
29:14
Speaker 1: should know this because I'm such a big Broadway fan,
29:18
Speaker 1: and of course Greece was a Broadway show before it
29:20
Speaker 1: was ever a movie. But I have never ever seen
29:24
Speaker 1: the stage version of Greece, which I understand is raunchier
29:29
Speaker 1: and uh has slightly different songs than the film version. Yeah. Yeah,
29:36
Speaker 1: there's an entire article, um actually question about this in
29:40
Speaker 1: one of their musical episodes about what songs actually carry
29:44
Speaker 1: over from one to the other. Originally, um, which is
29:47
Speaker 1: not a lot? Not a lot? Um. Okay, Uh, we're
29:52
Speaker 1: now entering into uh, Jonathan's favorite in my least favorite
29:56
Speaker 1: part of any lineup, the spoopy such section. Yeah, turns
30:00
Speaker 1: out there were a few horror related stories, and so
30:05
Speaker 1: I put them all together, and first up, we have
30:08
Speaker 1: a trailer for Evil Dead Rise. Now. Evil Dead is
30:11
Speaker 1: a series that has kind of an identity crisis because
30:15
Speaker 1: you have the original Evil Dead movies. The very first
30:18
Speaker 1: one was meant more or less to be a serious
30:22
Speaker 1: horror film, but because of the low budget, some elements
30:26
Speaker 1: of it are slightly comedic. Not because of the subject matter,
30:31
Speaker 1: but because the execution. Then you get to Evil Dead too,
30:35
Speaker 1: and the slapstick element gets played up a little bit
30:39
Speaker 1: more and it's more of a it's more of a
30:41
Speaker 1: borderline horror comedy. You get the Army of Darkness. Now
30:46
Speaker 1: you're in comedy with horror because it's it's definitely playing
30:50
Speaker 1: up the slapstick big time and Army of Darkness. Then
30:53
Speaker 1: you get to like the Evil Dead versus Ash series,
30:57
Speaker 1: you get to the Evil Dead reboot. The Evil Dead
30:59
Speaker 1: Reboot strips any humor away and becomes more of a
31:03
Speaker 1: demonic possession horror movie. Now we have Evil Dead Rise,
31:07
Speaker 1: and I think this one just said hold my beer
31:10
Speaker 1: and went even harder for like demonic possession horror. Yeah, Like,
31:16
Speaker 1: visually a lot of it gave me very Evil Dead feels.
31:20
Speaker 1: Even though I've only watched parts of the original UM movie. Um,
31:25
Speaker 1: I've watched all of Army of Darkness, and then I
31:27
Speaker 1: watched the first episode or two of the television series. UM.
31:33
Speaker 1: I I don't know. I feel like you really need
31:39
Speaker 1: the comedy to call it an Evil Dead movie. I
31:43
Speaker 1: don't disagree. UM that's not to say that I think
31:46
Speaker 1: that this is going to be a bad film. It's
31:49
Speaker 1: one where I would change the branding on it. I
31:52
Speaker 1: feel the same way like whenever you have any Hollywood
31:55
Speaker 1: project where they're taking advantage of a known property and
32:00
Speaker 1: they're putting out a new film or TV show or
32:03
Speaker 1: something like that, and it has this known name to it.
32:06
Speaker 1: But then you watch it and you think, this is like,
32:08
Speaker 1: in no way similar to the original other than maybe
32:13
Speaker 1: the basic premise. Yeah, perfect example, perfect example. So yeah,
32:19
Speaker 1: I never like that. It always bothers me. And the
32:26
Speaker 1: trailer looks like it's going to be a pretty intense
32:30
Speaker 1: horror movie. So if you're into intense horror movies, this
32:34
Speaker 1: might be right up your alley. But I agree with you, Ariel.
32:37
Speaker 1: I think I think I would. Actually this trailer would
32:40
Speaker 1: have hit harder for me if it weren't called Evil Dead. Yeah,
32:43
Speaker 1: I agree. I agree. Um, it looks kind of interesting
32:48
Speaker 1: if you separate it from that. Uh. Another scary movie
32:51
Speaker 1: coming out is one called Sick. Is about going to
32:55
Speaker 1: a cabin during I guess the pandemic or a pandemic
32:58
Speaker 1: because people are very into asks in quarantine, and then
33:03
Speaker 1: a scary guy comes and ruins the teenagers getaway. You know, Um,
33:08
Speaker 1: it's done by the same person. I think, who did
33:11
Speaker 1: they write or direct scream? I think they I think
33:14
Speaker 1: it was the direct the writer. Rather, Yeah, it was
33:17
Speaker 1: the writer because the original screen was um Wes Craven
33:22
Speaker 1: who directed. I think maybe I'm mixing it all up.
33:25
Speaker 1: See I'm a bad horror fan. Um, but I really
33:30
Speaker 1: like this trailer. I like the premise, the idea because
33:33
Speaker 1: you always have to come up for a reason to
33:35
Speaker 1: have your characters isolated, right, Like the Cabin in the
33:39
Speaker 1: Woods trope is a big one in horror. I mean,
33:42
Speaker 1: that's why Josh Weed did the Cabin in the Woods movie.
33:45
Speaker 1: And the trope requires that your characters be cut off
33:50
Speaker 1: from civilization so that they don't really have anywhere to
33:53
Speaker 1: turn to when the bad stuff starts happening. And in
33:56
Speaker 1: this case, what a great way of doing it where
33:59
Speaker 1: it's the two characters who are they're they're going to
34:03
Speaker 1: quarantine in this remote, enormous cabin. To call it a
34:07
Speaker 1: cabin is being ridiculous. It is a yeah, it's or
34:13
Speaker 1: a lodge. Maybe a lodge would be a good name
34:15
Speaker 1: for it too, because it's it's big, um, and it's fancy.
34:18
Speaker 1: It's not like it's not like a little log cabin
34:21
Speaker 1: out in the woods. It's a fancy place. Um, it's
34:23
Speaker 1: the kind of place I would love to own if
34:25
Speaker 1: I were wealthy. But so they they are going to
34:31
Speaker 1: go there to isolate and to party, essentially, And it
34:35
Speaker 1: looks like one of them is a little more conscientious
34:37
Speaker 1: about trying to be safe than the other. And it
34:41
Speaker 1: seems like the premise is that, uh, the the willingness
34:47
Speaker 1: to abide by rules is part of the the push
34:54
Speaker 1: of the storyline, and maybe sometimes that an over reliance
34:58
Speaker 1: on rules can get you into trouble as well. And
35:00
Speaker 1: but I don't know, I think it looks it looks
35:03
Speaker 1: to me a lot like a slasher film like Scream,
35:07
Speaker 1: mixed with maybe a little bit of social commentary about
35:11
Speaker 1: about social rules, like like when we had mask mandates
35:16
Speaker 1: and stuff. Because the the end, the end beat was
35:19
Speaker 1: like the hardest hitting beat of the entire trailer for me,
35:21
Speaker 1: when a girl is asking for help and she can't
35:24
Speaker 1: because she isn't following the She isn't getting it because
35:26
Speaker 1: she isn't following those social rules, and it's like, what
35:29
Speaker 1: level of well being do you put top priority? Um?
35:33
Speaker 1: I yeah, it looks interesting to me. I obviously can't
35:38
Speaker 1: watch everything Blumhouse does, but he does do that. That
35:40
Speaker 1: production company does do a lot of things that have
35:44
Speaker 1: more to it than just the scarier the blood or
35:46
Speaker 1: the violence. You know, um, good stories or interesting twists
35:50
Speaker 1: or things like that, And I definitely feel like this
35:52
Speaker 1: falls into the more interesting story or twist category, maybe
35:57
Speaker 1: even a little bit more suspenseful than just flat out gory,
36:00
Speaker 1: at least from the trailer. Yeah. Well, for one thing,
36:02
Speaker 1: at least in the trailer, they don't introduce that many characters,
36:06
Speaker 1: so it can't be that glory. I mean, I don't know.
36:11
Speaker 1: I watched candy Man. Uh and in the original candy Man,
36:14
Speaker 1: I remember sitting there going that person doesn't have that
36:17
Speaker 1: much blood. There's three characters. The original candy Man stands
36:23
Speaker 1: as one of the great horror movies and social commentary
36:27
Speaker 1: horror movies of that era, and the reboot also, um okay, Well,
36:33
Speaker 1: next up, we have we got a trailer for a
36:36
Speaker 1: series called Lockwood and Company Company or Lockwood and Co.
36:41
Speaker 1: Which I was not aware of. I I realized now
36:44
Speaker 1: that it's a series of young adult books, but I
36:48
Speaker 1: had never heard of it before. Um, and it's kind
36:51
Speaker 1: of fascinating premise, this idea that ghosts are a thing.
36:56
Speaker 1: They have become a very troublesome thing, and the way
37:00
Speaker 1: the world has responded is they have formed all these
37:03
Speaker 1: these official agencies where they have people trained to go
37:07
Speaker 1: out and take care of ghosts so that they stopped
37:11
Speaker 1: haunting people. But that there's an element of corruption there,
37:16
Speaker 1: like of bureaucracy, and I get the It starts to
37:20
Speaker 1: give me the sense of the idea when when fire
37:24
Speaker 1: fighters were um like sponsored by specific people, and so
37:31
Speaker 1: you had like this competitive nature and firefighting where you
37:35
Speaker 1: had different firefighting crews rushing to put out a burning
37:38
Speaker 1: building because they would get the reward if they if
37:41
Speaker 1: they were first on the scene. And we're doing it.
37:43
Speaker 1: I get the feeling like that's kind of what's happening here.
37:47
Speaker 1: But the main characters are young young people kids really,
37:52
Speaker 1: who form their own ghost fighting agency. UM. And despite
37:57
Speaker 1: being a y A novel or based on y novels,
38:01
Speaker 1: UM this trailer it didn't hit too much of a
38:06
Speaker 1: of a cheesy this is too young for you, why
38:08
Speaker 1: a feel for me? UM. I really enjoyed it. Of course.
38:12
Speaker 1: Joe Cornish, who's the director, also did attack the Block
38:16
Speaker 1: and The Kid Who Would Be King, which were also
38:18
Speaker 1: why A stories that really appealed to me. Um, just
38:23
Speaker 1: because the concept is executed very well. Yeah. Yeah, Attack
38:27
Speaker 1: the Block is amazing. If you haven't seen it, seek
38:30
Speaker 1: it out. It is well worth a watch. You get
38:34
Speaker 1: John Boyega in that movie, you get Nick Frost as
38:37
Speaker 1: a weed obsessed character in that movie. Um, it's it's
38:42
Speaker 1: definitely worth watching. So this trailer I thought looked great.
38:46
Speaker 1: It also kind of hints at issues we see in
38:49
Speaker 1: a lot of zombie entertainment, that being that sometimes the
38:56
Speaker 1: most pressing threat isn't the supernatural threat, but it's other
39:00
Speaker 1: people that seems to come across in this trailer too. Yeah. Um,
39:05
Speaker 1: so we're gonna we We've talked a lot about streaming
39:10
Speaker 1: companies cutting back on on the amount of entertainment that
39:14
Speaker 1: they're putting out, but I feel like, at least the
39:17
Speaker 1: last and I know Netflix is still making way more
39:19
Speaker 1: content than I want to watch or could even possibly watch.
39:23
Speaker 1: But I don't know, I feel like since they've cut
39:26
Speaker 1: back on some stuff, the things that I'm getting the
39:29
Speaker 1: trailers for look better to me. I don't know. Yeah,
39:33
Speaker 1: it may be that there they're being a little more
39:38
Speaker 1: careful with their decisions, although honestly, I would be surprised
39:43
Speaker 1: if that if those those decisions were already starting to
39:47
Speaker 1: manifest this early in the year, because we know that
39:50
Speaker 1: these series are frequently there like a year behind before
39:55
Speaker 1: they come out, right, Like when you're when you're making it,
39:58
Speaker 1: you're making something that's not going to come out for
40:00
Speaker 1: another year typically, So it might might be a little
40:04
Speaker 1: bit longer before we really start seeing the consequences of
40:09
Speaker 1: of streaming companies reckoning with these production costs and pulling
40:14
Speaker 1: things back. Uh So, I don't know, but I will say, like,
40:19
Speaker 1: this looks good. Like I didn't know anything going into it.
40:23
Speaker 1: I had no expectations. By the end of the trailer,
40:26
Speaker 1: I thought, everyone looks like they're doing a great job.
40:29
Speaker 1: The Ghost design I love. I love the Ghost disagree,
40:33
Speaker 1: and I'm intrigued about the world. So I'm probably gonna
40:37
Speaker 1: check this out. Yeah, with no more lock and Key
40:39
Speaker 1: and with Umbrella Academy coming to a close, I'm excited.
40:42
Speaker 1: Hopefully this will pick up, Hopefully people will watch, Hopefully
40:45
Speaker 1: it'll be good, and people will watch it to the
40:47
Speaker 1: end of the first season so that it gets a
40:48
Speaker 1: second season. Also so that you know the actors can
40:52
Speaker 1: get paid because um, the streaming streaming royalties for actors
40:58
Speaker 1: and for crew are just a mess. Um, so sometimes
41:01
Speaker 1: that factors into how long a show stays on a
41:05
Speaker 1: streaming service like um. Anyhow, regardless, hopefully this will be good.
41:12
Speaker 1: Uh Paramount Plus Man, Paramount Plus is just coming out
41:14
Speaker 1: with all this stuff. Apparently they're getting a D and
41:16
Speaker 1: D series two. Yeah, so there's going to be Uh
41:20
Speaker 1: well then, ow, there's a D and D series that's
41:22
Speaker 1: actually an active development and it's dedicated or it's it's
41:27
Speaker 1: going towards Paramount Plus and Ross and Marshall thurber Um
41:32
Speaker 1: has written the pilot script and is supposed to direct
41:37
Speaker 1: the first episode of this series. And yeah, I don't
41:44
Speaker 1: know how to Well, we don't know enough, right, I don't.
41:47
Speaker 1: We don't know enough about what this series is. We
41:49
Speaker 1: don't know what its tone is gonna be. Um, we
41:53
Speaker 1: don't know if it's going to be just strictly set
41:56
Speaker 1: within the fantasy world of D and D or if
41:59
Speaker 1: it's going to be a meta thing where you've got
42:01
Speaker 1: players and characters. We don't know anything. So um, I'm
42:06
Speaker 1: not I'm not ready to make any kind of guests
42:09
Speaker 1: as to what this is going to turn out to be.
42:12
Speaker 1: But I I'm curious, especially since I know I keep
42:16
Speaker 1: going back to the dn D movie Aerial and I'm sorry, well, no,
42:21
Speaker 1: it's fine because one is producing both. So yeah, but
42:25
Speaker 1: when when I saw that trailer last year, I was
42:29
Speaker 1: not super enthusiastic about it, Like, it looked okay, but
42:36
Speaker 1: it didn't. In some ways, it didn't look any better
42:39
Speaker 1: than the really bad D n D movies we got
42:41
Speaker 1: several years ago. Right, it looked, it looked bad, but
42:45
Speaker 1: in different ways. To me, it wasn't. It wasn't an
42:48
Speaker 1: apples to apples thing, but it didn't look like it
42:50
Speaker 1: was gonna be Like. I didn't think this is gonna
42:54
Speaker 1: become like Willow Right, like this is gonna be one
42:57
Speaker 1: of those movies that I have to own so that
42:58
Speaker 1: I can occasionally watch it. It didn't come across like
43:01
Speaker 1: that to me. And I seeing that and thinking that,
43:04
Speaker 1: I'm like, so what led them to think, Hey, let's
43:07
Speaker 1: double down and make a series. I mean, Dungeons and
43:12
Speaker 1: Dragons is super popular right now. I do feel like
43:15
Speaker 1: um as much as I watch like Dimension twenty and
43:19
Speaker 1: Critical Role and or listen and then like listen to
43:22
Speaker 1: like Critical Role and Adventure Zone and stuff like that.
43:24
Speaker 1: I do feel that playing D and D has a
43:28
Speaker 1: similar issue to making it cinematic as like LARPs, which
43:32
Speaker 1: is the immersion. Right, when you're immersed into a situation,
43:37
Speaker 1: it's so much cooler than necessarily watching from the outside
43:40
Speaker 1: because you're feeling all those emotions, and so it's a
43:42
Speaker 1: little bit harder to bring that to people who are
43:45
Speaker 1: just watching the story. Um. That being said, Ross and
43:49
Speaker 1: Marsha Thurber wrote Made Red Notice on Netflix, which was
43:54
Speaker 1: the Galgado Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds heist movie, which was
44:00
Speaker 1: very action e and very funny. And I feel like
44:02
Speaker 1: that's what you need in D and D. You need.
44:04
Speaker 1: You need the snark, and you need the ironic situations,
44:09
Speaker 1: because that's to me what you can play a very
44:12
Speaker 1: serious D and D campaign, but having those comedic moments,
44:15
Speaker 1: in those moments of like ridiculous failure or success or
44:19
Speaker 1: what separated from Lord of the Rings or the Wheel
44:22
Speaker 1: of Time or anything like that, to me, it's just
44:24
Speaker 1: there's a level of fun there. Yeah, I agree, I
44:28
Speaker 1: need that element in my D n D. I need
44:31
Speaker 1: it because there are moments when you're playing D and D,
44:36
Speaker 1: it's just inevitable. There are moments when you're playing when
44:39
Speaker 1: you step outside of what's happening at the table at
44:43
Speaker 1: that moment and you're just kind of evaluating what's going
44:47
Speaker 1: on from a meta perspective, and you're like, this is
44:49
Speaker 1: a bunch of grown adults pretending to be fantasy creatures
44:55
Speaker 1: arguing about the best way to open the door, whether
44:58
Speaker 1: it's to kick it in or not. Like, this is
45:00
Speaker 1: just it's it's patently ridiculous. There are moments when that
45:04
Speaker 1: happens right where you just again you step outside and
45:06
Speaker 1: you're like, this is ridiculous, But within the fiction of
45:10
Speaker 1: the world it's not. So when you start adding in
45:13
Speaker 1: humor and comedy into D and D, I feel it
45:17
Speaker 1: helps take a little of that edge off that it
45:20
Speaker 1: encourages people to be more playful, because that, to me,
45:24
Speaker 1: is one of the biggest barriers two Dudgeons and Dragons
45:28
Speaker 1: is convincing people to be playful because we all have
45:31
Speaker 1: that that feeling inside of us that oh, that's childlike,
45:34
Speaker 1: that's childish, that's I'm gonna look like an idiot. I
45:38
Speaker 1: don't want to look like an idiot in front of people,
45:40
Speaker 1: So I don't wanna engage in this. And to me,
45:44
Speaker 1: that's one of the reasons why humor should always be
45:48
Speaker 1: a part of Dungeons and Dragons. It doesn't have to
45:51
Speaker 1: be the pivotal part, it doesn't have to be the
45:54
Speaker 1: main thing, but I feel like it needs to at
45:57
Speaker 1: least be present. Yeah, I agree. And and you know,
46:00
Speaker 1: just from from a scripted acting side of things, if
46:03
Speaker 1: you are looking at the dramatizing it, there's an entire
46:06
Speaker 1: line of thought and I agree with it that even
46:08
Speaker 1: in the most serious situations, you have to find the
46:10
Speaker 1: comedy so like, because that makes everything hit just a
46:15
Speaker 1: little bit more true. And so you know, if you
46:18
Speaker 1: have this ridiculous comedy everybody taking big risks in D
46:21
Speaker 1: and D, it makes the losses that much more poignant too.
46:25
Speaker 1: It makes just for a better story. So yeah, um,
46:29
Speaker 1: I you know, if they can do it, great, Um.
46:33
Speaker 1: I I love watching live plays, you know, so if
46:38
Speaker 1: someone can figure out how to capture that in a
46:41
Speaker 1: television series or a movie, I am for it. Yeah.
46:44
Speaker 1: And obviously, you know, we've got plenty of examples of
46:47
Speaker 1: other fantasy based series, you know. The D and D
46:51
Speaker 1: has tons of different novels set in various dungeons and
46:54
Speaker 1: dragons worlds that are incredibly popular. You've got all the
46:58
Speaker 1: other fantasy based stuff, um Lord of the Rings to
47:01
Speaker 1: Game of Thrones too, you know, slightly less successful titles
47:06
Speaker 1: out there, But but we have examples of it working,
47:10
Speaker 1: so it I don't think that there's something inherently impossible
47:16
Speaker 1: about making a good live action D and D property.
47:20
Speaker 1: I just think that it so far it hasn't fallen
47:25
Speaker 1: into the correct hands to make that something that I
47:29
Speaker 1: personally find satisfying. And if other people find it great,
47:33
Speaker 1: like if other people go to the D and D
47:35
Speaker 1: movie with Chris Pine and they think this was really entertaining.
47:39
Speaker 1: I loved it. I can't wait to see it again.
47:41
Speaker 1: That's phenomenal. That's amazing. So I'm not here to yuck.
47:44
Speaker 1: Anyone's young and maybe I'll be that person and maybe
47:47
Speaker 1: it was just trailers that didn't hit with me. So
47:51
Speaker 1: we'll have to see. Yeah. But unfortunately, D and D
47:55
Speaker 1: might be falling into less people's hands to experiment with
47:57
Speaker 1: because of the ages that Wizards of the Coast is
48:02
Speaker 1: making to their open gaming license. So um, Jonathan I
48:06
Speaker 1: have talked about this a little bit on business on
48:07
Speaker 1: the brink um maybe a lot. We had an entire
48:10
Speaker 1: episode about D and D. But the role twenties system
48:15
Speaker 1: that D and D is based off of, for for
48:18
Speaker 1: many many years has been in open gaming. It has
48:20
Speaker 1: been in an open gaming license so that people can
48:22
Speaker 1: create their own worlds, their own contents there, their own games,
48:26
Speaker 1: their own um settings within D and D using that
48:30
Speaker 1: based rule set. But now now they're looking at how
48:35
Speaker 1: to uh monetize that better for the owner company, and
48:41
Speaker 1: it is ruffling a lot of feathers and I can't
48:43
Speaker 1: say completely unwarranted Lee. Yeah, yeah, so full disclosure, we
48:51
Speaker 1: have not had chance to read the full updated license yet.
48:54
Speaker 1: So well, because he keeps it keeps changing, like all
48:57
Speaker 1: the news about it keeps changing too. As we've been
48:59
Speaker 1: on this U recording this podcast, I've had three articles
49:02
Speaker 1: pop up in my D and D groups chat about
49:06
Speaker 1: what Pathfinder is going to do now, what Wizards of
49:08
Speaker 1: the Coast are saying, now, what this is. So it's
49:10
Speaker 1: changing a lot. So so by the time you even
49:12
Speaker 1: hear this, there may be significant changes from when we
49:16
Speaker 1: were recording. But generally speaking, like one of the neat
49:19
Speaker 1: things about the open gaming license, open game license is
49:22
Speaker 1: that it allowed lots of other creators to build their
49:28
Speaker 1: own supplemental materials and even sell them, like even you know,
49:33
Speaker 1: create a market for them. You probably have seen uh
49:37
Speaker 1: various source books that were written by not Wizards of
49:41
Speaker 1: the Coast but by others that are meant to augment
49:45
Speaker 1: D and D in some way, and sometimes it's like
49:48
Speaker 1: addressing stuff that D and D really hasn't in order
49:51
Speaker 1: to give you rules to guide you for certain scenarios
49:54
Speaker 1: that you might want to explore, but the base source
49:58
Speaker 1: books from Wizards of the Coast don't touch on that.
50:01
Speaker 1: And in some two cases it's to introduce all new realms,
50:05
Speaker 1: like Critical Role has done that. They've released books that
50:09
Speaker 1: introduced the worlds that that Critical Role takes place in.
50:13
Speaker 1: So I mean the entire role playing game Pathfinder is
50:17
Speaker 1: based on. So the problems here is that by updating
50:25
Speaker 1: the license and putting in more restrictions and putting in
50:30
Speaker 1: things like reportedly there are passages that would give Wizards
50:36
Speaker 1: of the Coast uh the rights to the work you create,
50:40
Speaker 1: so that they could end up exploiting those creations you've
50:45
Speaker 1: made for their own um revenue, or that they can
50:50
Speaker 1: take a cut of your revenue, if you are making
50:53
Speaker 1: more than a certain amount per year from your your books,
50:58
Speaker 1: and like, ah, if it hadn't been for the open
51:05
Speaker 1: game license, maybe I'd feel about this differently. But the
51:09
Speaker 1: fact that there was an open game license that had
51:11
Speaker 1: such flexibility to it and that that led to incredible
51:16
Speaker 1: creativity in the space. Uh, the fact that that's now
51:19
Speaker 1: being tweaked and changed is what is really upsetting because
51:24
Speaker 1: otherwise you could say, well, they made the stuff, and
51:28
Speaker 1: if you are creating things based off of their stuff
51:32
Speaker 1: and then you're making huge amounts of money, should some
51:35
Speaker 1: of that money also go to the original creators? And
51:37
Speaker 1: that gets into a very complicated conversation. Yeah, because one
51:44
Speaker 1: of the things in in in the new license that
51:46
Speaker 1: people are up in arms about and might change because
51:49
Speaker 1: because people are up in arms about, is them saying,
51:51
Speaker 1: if you create anything under the new license, uh, we
51:55
Speaker 1: can use it for whatever we want. We don't have
51:57
Speaker 1: to pay you to use it because you're using our system.
52:00
Speaker 1: So uh, it's not like they're buying the company, is
52:03
Speaker 1: not like they're partnering with the company. They're just saying,
52:05
Speaker 1: you've made the successful thing off of our open game license,
52:08
Speaker 1: so we can do whatever we want with it, and
52:11
Speaker 1: well not illegal. That feels just kind of crappy to me. Yeah,
52:15
Speaker 1: well it's not good business. Relation. It reminds me of
52:19
Speaker 1: how things can happen on YouTube, right where let's say
52:22
Speaker 1: that you make a YouTube video where you are critiquing, um,
52:28
Speaker 1: a specific editorial choice in a movie, and so you have, uh,
52:33
Speaker 1: some clips from this movie and you're pointing out the
52:36
Speaker 1: editorial choices that you are critiquing, and under you know,
52:41
Speaker 1: most most people's opinions, this would probably fall under fair use.
52:47
Speaker 1: That you're making use of copyrighted material in order to
52:51
Speaker 1: educate and to comment upon it and to critique it,
52:55
Speaker 1: and as long as you are not using very much
52:58
Speaker 1: of it, and that stuff you're saying has substance that
53:03
Speaker 1: should reasonably be considered fair use. Well. On YouTube, a
53:06
Speaker 1: lot of times you'll hear stories about how creators had
53:10
Speaker 1: the monetization of their videos switched so that let's say,
53:15
Speaker 1: the movie studio that made the movie is now collecting
53:18
Speaker 1: all the money being made off that video because they
53:21
Speaker 1: owned the source that you were referencing, and that we
53:29
Speaker 1: hear these stories all the time over with YouTube creators
53:32
Speaker 1: where they have to fight to be able to get
53:34
Speaker 1: back their monetization because they're they're making a very valid
53:38
Speaker 1: point of No, this isn't I'm not exploiting their work.
53:44
Speaker 1: I'm using their work to explain this concept and to
53:47
Speaker 1: make this point, and and that does fall under fair
53:51
Speaker 1: use and I should be able to do that. Um.
53:54
Speaker 1: It reminds me a lot of those kinds of situations.
53:58
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, um, but this is still unfolding, and you know,
54:04
Speaker 1: I'm trying not to be too distracted. I've now turned
54:06
Speaker 1: off my D and D group chat because you know,
54:08
Speaker 1: they're like, well, they were going to do this, but
54:10
Speaker 1: now they're going to dial it back and slowly work
54:12
Speaker 1: up to it so people don't get upset. But um,
54:14
Speaker 1: hopefully they will figure out a way to not completely
54:21
Speaker 1: screw over people who are creating things. Yeah, not to
54:26
Speaker 1: alienate their entire fan base. Yeah yeah, Um, but you know,
54:30
Speaker 1: maybe we'll talk more about this as everything unfolds and
54:34
Speaker 1: as it um settles and we know what the end
54:37
Speaker 1: result is going to be. Um, we just have a
54:41
Speaker 1: couple of more stories ago. In fact, we probably could
54:44
Speaker 1: have thrown these under the thirty seconds or less. But
54:46
Speaker 1: the first up is, if you are a subscriber to
54:50
Speaker 1: HBO Max, which we know is going to have its
54:52
Speaker 1: name changed. At some point, you likely received an email
54:56
Speaker 1: I know I did, learning you that you will be
54:59
Speaker 1: paying a little bit more for the privilege of watching
55:02
Speaker 1: HBO Max. They're hiking up the monthly subscription feed by
55:06
Speaker 1: a dollar. Yeah, they're you know, they're as much as
55:11
Speaker 1: HBO has been cutting a bunch of stuff, and and
55:13
Speaker 1: whatever reasons good or bad, they are doing that. Um.
55:17
Speaker 1: They say that this increase is to help them create
55:19
Speaker 1: new and awesome content. Um. And it's not unheard of
55:23
Speaker 1: a lot of most of the streaming services are bumping
55:26
Speaker 1: up their monthly fee, which sucks because there's so many services,
55:30
Speaker 1: and that can add up. If you've got twenty streaming services,
55:33
Speaker 1: that's twenty extra bucks a month or more. Um. But yeah,
55:36
Speaker 1: it's also understandable and reasonable and it's only a dollar.
55:39
Speaker 1: So ask me again in twelve months when I suspect
55:43
Speaker 1: we'll all be watching stick figure theater versions of DC
55:48
Speaker 1: superhero stories because that's all they can afford. It's all
55:52
Speaker 1: David zas level pay for. And you'll just be like, well,
55:56
Speaker 1: that one's supposed to be Batman. If you look really closely,
55:59
Speaker 1: you can see there's little points on the top of
56:01
Speaker 1: the stick figures head. I was to say, if it's
56:03
Speaker 1: got little points on top of its head, if it's
56:05
Speaker 1: it's Batman, if it's got a cape and underwear, it's Superman's. Yeah, um,
56:12
Speaker 1: I mean, I honestly I get it. Like, the streaming
56:19
Speaker 1: business model is a very tricky one. How the heck
56:23
Speaker 1: do you make it profitable? If your strategy is to
56:28
Speaker 1: bring people over to your service by producing premier content,
56:34
Speaker 1: it gets really hard, Like it's really I mean, Netflix
56:37
Speaker 1: didn't start off by making premiere content. Netflix started off
56:40
Speaker 1: by just being really the biggest game in town when
56:44
Speaker 1: it came to streaming stuff, and most of the stuff
56:47
Speaker 1: they streamed, in fact, all the stuff they streamed originally
56:49
Speaker 1: belonged to other studios, right, And then you would just
56:52
Speaker 1: like it was like a mail in Blockbuster. Yep. Well yeah, originally,
56:57
Speaker 1: before they even got to the streaming stuff, it was
56:59
Speaker 1: mail in Blockbuster. And it's only that the studios started
57:04
Speaker 1: to get worried that Netflix was going to get too powerful,
57:07
Speaker 1: and they started to create these other streaming services that
57:11
Speaker 1: you know. To to this day, we're still seeing that
57:13
Speaker 1: play out that it got to a point where everyone,
57:16
Speaker 1: in order to stand out, has to make their own unique,
57:20
Speaker 1: uh content that no one else has, and that gets
57:25
Speaker 1: really expensive and no one has figured out how to
57:27
Speaker 1: do that in a way that sustainable. So from that respect,
57:31
Speaker 1: I totally get it. It's hard to argue as a customer,
57:35
Speaker 1: like you were saying, Aerial, It's tough, man, I mean,
57:38
Speaker 1: especially when you're going into economic uncertainty, like you start
57:41
Speaker 1: asking what what things am I do I need? What
57:46
Speaker 1: things do I want? And what things can I say
57:48
Speaker 1: goodbye to? And uh, I feel like a streaming services
57:51
Speaker 1: are gonna a lot of them are gonna get hit
57:54
Speaker 1: by this over the next you know, several months or yeah,
57:58
Speaker 1: they're or they're going to combine like WB Discovery and
58:01
Speaker 1: HBO is doing, um which I don't know. There are
58:05
Speaker 1: too many people didn't like cable where you got everything
58:08
Speaker 1: in one, but then you still have to buy extras.
58:10
Speaker 1: People don't like all the different streaming services. There's got
58:12
Speaker 1: to be a middle ground somewhere. Um Well. The thing
58:16
Speaker 1: that people wanted was they wanted to be able to
58:18
Speaker 1: pick and choose the content right like like almost like
58:22
Speaker 1: imagine that you've got a streaming platform but it's blank
58:27
Speaker 1: and you get to put whatever you want into that
58:30
Speaker 1: streaming platform. So you say, oh, well, I definitely want
58:33
Speaker 1: the Daredevil series in there, so I'm gonna take that
58:36
Speaker 1: from Netflix. I'm gonna put it in there. And I
58:38
Speaker 1: definitely want severance from Apple TV, so I'm gonna take
58:41
Speaker 1: that and I'm gonna put it in there, and so
58:43
Speaker 1: on and so forth, until you have your own personal
58:46
Speaker 1: library of stuff that you want. That's what everyone was
58:49
Speaker 1: dreaming of. Yeah, how do you how do you monetize that? Well,
58:53
Speaker 1: you can't. I mean you would have to have like
58:54
Speaker 1: some sort of you would have to do something kind
58:56
Speaker 1: of like as CAP does with with songs right where
59:00
Speaker 1: you have a general license and then all the studios
59:04
Speaker 1: get a cut of all the license fees. But that
59:07
Speaker 1: would not support this model either. You wouldn't have the
59:10
Speaker 1: money to put on these prestige series and films. So
59:15
Speaker 1: I think I think we're just gonna see probably a
59:17
Speaker 1: pretty tumultuous couple of years while folks really figure out
59:23
Speaker 1: what's the long term plan with streaming and uh and
59:28
Speaker 1: and exclusive content for streaming platforms, because I don't think
59:32
Speaker 1: we figured it out yet. Yeah, I mean, I will
59:35
Speaker 1: as a as a person who is hoping to make
59:37
Speaker 1: a living off the entertainment industry, Like I also cancel
59:42
Speaker 1: my various streaming services between the series that I want
59:44
Speaker 1: to watch because I can't afford them all and the
59:47
Speaker 1: things I want to watch are not all the same.
59:48
Speaker 1: So I am I am a part of the problem.
59:51
Speaker 1: Uh all right, I am. I am not a part
59:55
Speaker 1: of the problem. I am stuck within the problem. They
59:57
Speaker 1: are all trying to figure out. Um. Yes, yes, but
1:00:01
Speaker 1: we have one, one last little thing. This is a
1:00:04
Speaker 1: happy thing. Um, it's not a problem. It does come
1:00:06
Speaker 1: from Netflix, which is they have released Teenage Mutant Ninja
1:00:10
Speaker 1: Turtle Shredder Revenge for iOS and Android, so you can
1:00:16
Speaker 1: now play the video game on your phone. I it's
1:00:19
Speaker 1: funny because you your headline is TMNT Shredder's Revenge comes
1:00:22
Speaker 1: to Mobile, and I'm like, arial, I've already been playing
1:00:26
Speaker 1: it on mobile because I have that on my stream
1:00:29
Speaker 1: deck on my steam deck. Yeah, so I I have.
1:00:35
Speaker 1: I Shredder's Revenge is one of two games that I
1:00:38
Speaker 1: regularly play on my steam Deck, which is a mobile
1:00:42
Speaker 1: gaming PC. The other one being uh, Cult of the Lamb,
1:00:47
Speaker 1: which is acute and disturbing game about creating a cult.
1:00:54
Speaker 1: But yeah, Shredder's Revenge is total is a total throwback.
1:00:57
Speaker 1: If you're not familiar with it, It's a total throwback
1:00:59
Speaker 1: to the side scrolling beat him up teenage meeting in
1:01:02
Speaker 1: Turtles games of the nineties to complete with like some
1:01:05
Speaker 1: of the same effects and some of the same outcomes,
1:01:09
Speaker 1: Like you can end up throwing bad guys towards the screen.
1:01:13
Speaker 1: So you see this little cartoon guy get bigger and
1:01:16
Speaker 1: bigger as he as he splats across the screen in
1:01:19
Speaker 1: front of your eyes. Uh. It's a great game. Highly
1:01:23
Speaker 1: recommend it. It's got fantastic music and voice acting. The
1:01:28
Speaker 1: animation is wonderful, the character designs are great. It really
1:01:32
Speaker 1: does feel like a genuine nostalgic throwback to those arcade games. Yeah, so,
1:01:37
Speaker 1: um check it out. I've got you know, the team
1:01:40
Speaker 1: and t game on one of my gaming consoles and
1:01:44
Speaker 1: I enjoy it. Um. I like, so you can play
1:01:47
Speaker 1: this one with random party people, like random people can
1:01:51
Speaker 1: join your party and you can play it, yeah, virtually,
1:01:54
Speaker 1: but I like. I like it on my gaming console
1:01:56
Speaker 1: because I can sit with four people in a room
1:01:58
Speaker 1: and co op together and that hasn't happened for a
1:02:01
Speaker 1: game for me for a while, and it's exciting. Yeah. No,
1:02:05
Speaker 1: those are great, Like the same screen type games. Um
1:02:09
Speaker 1: it's rare to encounter now because everything has been shifted
1:02:12
Speaker 1: to online play. But there's there's a communal joy that
1:02:19
Speaker 1: comes out of playing games in the same physical space
1:02:21
Speaker 1: with each other and sharing the same screen. That is
1:02:25
Speaker 1: you just can't replicate that online now. Granted they're also
1:02:29
Speaker 1: obviously times where you don't want to have that experience,
1:02:33
Speaker 1: like if there's a surge in COVID, for example, but
1:02:38
Speaker 1: it's it is one of those experiences that you just
1:02:41
Speaker 1: can't you cannot perfectly capture with any other experience. And
1:02:46
Speaker 1: I really love those two out of curiosity. Who's your
1:02:49
Speaker 1: go to character? Michael Angelo? Interesting? Okay, so my go
1:02:55
Speaker 1: to is Casey Jones. That doesn't surprise me, but like
1:02:58
Speaker 1: my car was my named Michael jelo Wazowski and the goofball.
1:03:02
Speaker 1: It's not because of his skills or his abilities or
1:03:04
Speaker 1: anything like that. Um. I also like April O'Neil. She's
1:03:07
Speaker 1: she's my second choice. Yeah, it's cool that you can
1:03:10
Speaker 1: choose to play those characters because, of course, in the
1:03:12
Speaker 1: original nineties games, you were limited to the four Turtles.
1:03:16
Speaker 1: That's it, like those were the only characters you could play.
1:03:19
Speaker 1: So having the ability to to play these other characters
1:03:23
Speaker 1: is it's fun. It's a nice, little, uh, you know,
1:03:26
Speaker 1: addition to the game so cool that you can now
1:03:29
Speaker 1: play it on mobile devices like Android and iOS devices.
1:03:33
Speaker 1: The review I read suggested that the on screen controls
1:03:37
Speaker 1: are okay, but it's better to pair a controller with
1:03:41
Speaker 1: your phone and use the controller as your input device.
1:03:45
Speaker 1: It just works better from what it doesn't surprise me. Uh,
1:03:48
Speaker 1: But that is the end of everything we wanted to
1:03:50
Speaker 1: talk about. If you are fair and fine friends and listeners,
1:03:55
Speaker 1: have any thoughts you'd like to share with us about
1:03:58
