• 1:22
  Speaker 5: What's up and welcome to Movie Meltdown.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: I'm Brian.
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: I am Ben.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: And we are sitting here in the middle of Wonderfest.
• 1:40
  Speaker 7: We are coming to you live via digital recording from
• 1:42
  Speaker 7: our table at Wonderfest.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Once again, I'm still piecing this together.
• 1:47
  Speaker 7: I'm going to have many, many episodes, I'm assuming, because
• 1:50
  Speaker 7: we've got a lot of people to talk to. And
• 1:52
  Speaker 7: we've roped Ben back into sitting in with us this week.
• 1:56
  Speaker 6: Thank you, Brian.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: In addition, we have a nice tie-in.
• 2:01
  Speaker 7: For those of you who've been listening to all the
• 2:03
  Speaker 7: subliminal messages and or promos I've been playing for that Tower.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Of Technobabble thing... If you haven't, you're stupid. You should
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: really be listening.
• 2:11
  Speaker 7: But if you have, then you will recognize the person
• 2:14
  Speaker 7: we're about to introduce.
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: Mr.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Dave, would you like to say hello to people?
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: Well, hello, people. This is Dave.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Conduit.
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: Hello.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: The Conduit to you.
• 2:23
  Speaker 8: And you know, actually, since there's two people from Technobabble
• 2:25
  Speaker 8: and only one person from Movie Meltdown, I think technically
• 2:28
  Speaker 8: this is a Technobabble episode.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: Welcome to Tower of Technobabble Season 3, Episode 21.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: You don't even know what episode you're on. Don't lie.
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: We don't.
• 2:36
  Speaker 8: It's 20A, I suppose, now.
• 2:38
  Speaker 7: If that's the case, you have to put this out
• 2:40
  Speaker 7: on your feed. I think that's how it comes down.
• 2:42
  Speaker 7: So if you're claiming it and putting it out there,
• 2:45
  Speaker 7: that's fine. That means somebody's got to do the editing
• 2:47
  Speaker 7: besides me.
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: Oh, no, we're not going to do any editing. That's
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: what I thought. Welcome to Movie Meltdown, edited by Brian. Damn.
• 2:56
  Speaker 8: We will step back into respectable distance.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Put that right into place.
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: Welcome. Welcome to my world.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: The slacker, I'm not going to edit anything. I feel
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: for you, Dave.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Not it.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: You have to deal with this all the time.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: Well, hey, I got to say right up front, I'm
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: a little bit disappointed in the convention. I went to
• 3:20
  Speaker 6: the website, and the first thing you see is a
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: picture of Leigh Merriweather, Catwoman herself. I thought I was
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: coming to a cat convention today. I was told I
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: was coming to the Meow Mixer 2013, and I get
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: down here and there's nothing but spaceships and Yodas and
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: shit everywhere.
• 3:38
  Speaker 8: I told you that was next month.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: He's easily confused.
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: Cats. They should do a convention about cats. That's all
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: I'm saying.
• 3:44
  Speaker 8: Check their calendar. That's all I have to say.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: You're thinking they don't do a convention for cats. Have
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: you not seen Cat Fancy Magazine?
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: No.
• 3:52
  Speaker 7: There is an entire magazine devoted to cats. You're telling
• 3:54
  Speaker 7: me there's not a convention out there for them?
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: I did.
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: I just figured it's hard to get cats to do anything,
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: just to have a whole convention of them.
• 4:03
  Speaker 8: Just open up a bunch of cans of tuna and
• 4:04
  Speaker 8: see what happens.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just sit them around. Before you know it, they
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: show up. You're crawling with cats, literally.
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: So tell me, have you painted a picture of where
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: you're sitting? Have you explained what you're looking at right
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: in front of you?
• 4:17
  Speaker 7: I believe last time we mentioned the Lost in Space
• 4:20
  Speaker 7: robot and the fact that there's a dewback, which I
• 4:22
  Speaker 7: figured you would be quite excited about.
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: I was, and... It was built by army men, I believe.
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: Like real life army men.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Not Imperial Troopers?
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: No, I was actually down there talking to the guy.
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: And the scales are made out of the rubber mats
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: that army guys sleep on. But then he got a
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: phone call and I didn't get to ask him anything.
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: The big question that was on my mind. Darth Vader calling.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Roger that, Lord Vader. I'll be right there.
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: Because this thing is actually like a life-size puppet, and
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: it takes a couple of guys to get in, and
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: they can actually move it around and stuff.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I didn't know it moved. That's awesome.
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and they've got a life-size stormtrooper that they can
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: put on the back, but they don't have him sitting
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: on the back right now because our ceiling is too
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: low here.
• 5:08
  Speaker 8: Also, he's looking for droids.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: I had a huge question. I didn't get to ask him.
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: Does the top of the dewback have a trapdoor that
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: you put the feet of the stormtrooper in? I would
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: assume so.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Or does he straddle it? I mean, how else would
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: you get on a dewback? You have to go through
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: the trapdoor.
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: But you did point out that his feet are the
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: CGI reimagined.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's... Bindley-legged dewback.
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: It isn't the old classic elephant feet.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I prefer that in my dewback. I have.
• 5:39
  Speaker 7: I think I even got the redone version, but I
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: don't even know if I took it out of the
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: box because I like the old ones.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: So I have my old ones. If I'm putting one
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: on the mantle like a dork, that's the real do-back
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: for me is with the real feet, not those spindly things.
• 5:54
  Speaker 8: You have your company do-backs, but that's your day-to-day personal do-back.
• 5:58
  Speaker 7: My everyday back-and-forth do-back. I don't want to wear out
• 6:01
  Speaker 7: the good ones. I keep the good one in the garage.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: I always wonder how they got their name, Dewback.
• 6:07
  Speaker 8: Especially on a desert planet, there wouldn't be a lot
• 6:09
  Speaker 8: of Dew.
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: I know. I'm not sure I would want to sit
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: on something that has moisture coming up.
• 6:14
  Speaker 8: I mean, do you hop up on it and just go, ugh?
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Well, you probably would anyway, really.
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: I figure you get on and you slide right off.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: It's a little slippery back there. That's why they had
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: to put that big saddle up there.
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: There you go. How do they keep the saddle on?
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Dew glue.
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: Anyway, so.
• 6:33
  Speaker 7: Considering George let his children name most of the stuff
• 6:35
  Speaker 7: in the prequels, I'm afraid something like that happened. It
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: was like his sister-in-law used to say something was a
• 6:42
  Speaker 7: do-back or I don't know, some funny thing happened.
• 6:44
  Speaker 8: That would explain the booger butt.
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah. That would explain Walrus Man.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: He was one of the characters in the cantina. Yeah.
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: Oh, my gosh. Well, how's the recording been going on today?
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: Have you been meeting nice people?
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: Yeah, we've actually talked to a lot, probably more than
• 7:00
  Speaker 7: a normal convention we go to. Again, I think this
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: one brings in a different crowd. To me, it's a
• 7:06
  Speaker 7: much more homey kind of convention, and it's a little
• 7:09
  Speaker 7: more family-oriented, so I think you're not quite... Like, a
• 7:11
  Speaker 7: lot of the horror ones we end up at, Sometimes
• 7:14
  Speaker 7: people are just a little too cool and like, you know,
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: they have to be in their very gothy persona.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, explain that.
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 7:21
  Speaker 7: So, you know, I think here people are just a
• 7:23
  Speaker 7: little more, you know, they're their normal geeky selves like
• 7:26
  Speaker 7: we are and like we have a kinship.
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: When people are in their... gothy persona are they in
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: character or is it just even the fans wearing everyday
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: clothes that are just kind of a little bit.
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: I think it depends on how cosplay you are if
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: you really want to get all into it I guess
• 7:42
  Speaker 7: you can have a character but I think even every
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: geek there in a black t-shirt which granted that's me
• 7:47
  Speaker 7: a lot of times.
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: Too People at home, he's wearing a gray t-shirt right now.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Today, I'm wearing a gray. Which is light black. I've
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: tried to branch out. Even half the shirts we've done
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: now are gray. So I'm really, it's like a rainbow
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: around here. Black to gray to light gray to really
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: light gray. I mean, we really branch out here at
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Movie Meltdown.
• 8:09
  Speaker 8: Colorblind rainbow.
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: It's beautiful, man. Speaking of the cosplay, I'm actually surprised
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: that I'm not seeing more. cosplay i've seen a lot
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: of stormtroopers.
• 8:19
  Speaker 7: They're a little toned down here again because the people
• 8:21
  Speaker 7: aren't so over the top about it they're just kind
• 8:23
  Speaker 7: of like fans of movies and sci-fi and you know
• 8:26
  Speaker 7: that kind of stuff so i think it's they're not
• 8:28
  Speaker 7: as like hardcore about that element and a lot of
• 8:31
  Speaker 7: the stormtroopers i think are that.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: 501 whatever that.
• 8:35
  Speaker 7: Group is that i think they've been coming here for
• 8:37
  Speaker 7: years so i think most of that is like officially
• 8:39
  Speaker 7: through them because the yeah.
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: The most i've seen are stormtroopers i saw one I
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: saw one Gorn. A guy actually wore a Gorn costume.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: He was trying to get in the door over here.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: We told him no. We said no entry for Gorns.
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: This is a warm-blooded affair, sir.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: We don't like your kind around here.
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: Did he pick up a giant paper mache boulder and
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: try to smash the window?
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: He did, but it bounced right off.
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: Poor Gorn.
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: Poor Gorn.
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: And I've seen a lot of Ghostbusters, too.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: That's any convention you go to.
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: And also, I've seen... Yeah.
• 9:08
  Speaker 7: Cat Fancy Magazine convention or the Civil War reenactors, also Ghostbusters.
• 9:14
  Speaker 7: It was the craziest thing.
• 9:15
  Speaker 8: Well, Civil War did create a lot of ghosts.
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: I've actually seen a lot of policemen walking around, and
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: I don't know, are they actual cops or are they cosplayers?
• 9:24
  Speaker 8: That gun looks real.
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 9:26
  Speaker 7: See, at the Horror Winds, I keep trying to convince, like,
• 9:28
  Speaker 7: everybody that is a cop should just get, like, a
• 9:31
  Speaker 7: big cowboy hat and just go as Rick. I'm just
• 9:34
  Speaker 7: here to shoot all these damn zombies roaming around this thing. Like,
• 9:37
  Speaker 7: if you had the uniform, why would you not be
• 9:39
  Speaker 7: using it?
• 9:39
  Speaker 8: Have you seen Carl?
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: He's not in the house, I can tell you that.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Little bastard wandered off again.
• 9:44
  Speaker 8: Where the hell's Carl?
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Am I supposed to be watching him?
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: What am I, his mother?
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: The best cosplay story I've ever heard is, um, You've
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: heard of the Renaissance Faire. You're familiar with this.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: I'm geek enough to know it, but not geek enough
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: to understand it.
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: Have gone yeah me too brother yeah and uh.
• 10:03
  Speaker 8: Paul and i are by the way going to get
• 10:05
  Speaker 8: been to a run fair at some point during our lifetime.
• 10:08
  Speaker 7: Yeah i don't i don't curse those who go it's
• 10:11
  Speaker 7: just i haven't gotten to that point yet i haven't
• 10:12
  Speaker 7: had anybody that wanted me to go enough for me
• 10:15
  Speaker 7: to actually go faces fear hi.
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: But but anyway um Whenever you go down to the
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: Ren Faire, apparently the people running it, they're in costume,
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: and they stay to the part. They stay in character
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: no matter what. If you are a leather mug maker,
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: if your dress is a leather mug, you are a
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: leather mug maker. It's your life. Yeah, and you do
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: the whole huzzah, avast you. You stay in character no
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: matter what. What's up, G?
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: What's up, G?
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: It's sort of like.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Is that not okay?
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: It's not okay.
• 10:48
  Speaker 8: What is that strange talking box you're talking to?
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 10:52
  Speaker 8: What manner of spirits are talking to you through that box?
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: It's sort of like when you go to Buckingham Palace,
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: as we all do, and you try to get the
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: British guards to break their straight face. You just can't
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: do it. The best story I ever heard, a bunch
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: of guys cosplayed, or they got a bunch of authentic
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: Star Trek costumes. And they went to the Renaissance Faire
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: and they were pretending that they were actually from Starfleet
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: and they've gone back in time to some Renaissance planet.
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: And so it was like this nerd standoff because the
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: people at the Ren Faire were staying in character. And
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: they were trying to be like, what be these strange
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: sky gods that have come? And the Star Trek guys
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: were staying in character. What are these creatures? They were
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: doing the tricorder captain. These seem to be natives.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: These backward-ass people. I think we need to shoot a
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: few of them and see what happens.
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: It was like trying to see which group of nerds
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: would flinch first.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Out-nerd each other.
• 11:53
  Speaker 7: I think what we need to do then is we
• 11:56
  Speaker 7: need to do, again, another joint project. We all need
• 11:59
  Speaker 7: to go there and try to record an episode there
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: so that it would be nothing but.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Us going, Hi, how's it going? What is this you're
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: holding in front of me?
• 12:07
  Speaker 7: It'll just, everyone will just, nothing but like an hour
• 12:10
  Speaker 7: of complete confusion.
• 12:11
  Speaker 8: Of, what is this?
• 12:13
  Speaker 7: What may I say be that that ye be holding?
• 12:17
  Speaker 9: What?
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: Well, you know, Brian.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Dude, where's the pretzels? I want a big salted pretzel.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Is that somewhere?
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: You had actually. Maybe yonder. You had actually floated the
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: idea that Movie Meltdown and Tower of Technobabble take a
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: joint field trip to the Creation Museum.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: I'm all for that.
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: And I think stuff like that might happen if we're there.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: I think we need to do that. And we can
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: both take recorders and both be recording simultaneous episodes.
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: That's how you get stereo.
• 12:43
  Speaker 7: And then you can listen to them at the same
• 12:44
  Speaker 7: time and be like, what the hell's wrong with these guys?
• 12:48
  Speaker 7: I'm sure that will be the reaction most people have.
• 12:51
  Speaker 8: Well, one of our episodes needs to end on a cliffhanger,
• 12:53
  Speaker 8: and then the other one.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: That's how you do it.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 12:56
  Speaker 7: We'll be cornered by the crazy religious fanatics, and they'll
• 13:01
  Speaker 7: be about ready to kill us. Tune in next time
• 13:04
  Speaker 7: to find out if our heroes survive.
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: Will Jesus come and save them?
• 13:10
  Speaker 8: Will Ben be eaten by the pterodactyl that didn't exist?
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Or will they ride off on a triceratops? Find out
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: next week. I do believe in dinosaurs.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: I do believe in dinosaurs. Alleyoop was real.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: I think this should all happen.
• 13:22
  Speaker 8: I don't even know if we need the Creation Museum, actually.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: We could just pretty much fake it. We could just
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: sit around and do that.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: We probably would anyway, really.
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: Go to any, you know, snake handling church and see
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: what happens, you know. Well, can you get the organ
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: music on these mics? Is it bleeding through? People at
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: home who can't see this, on the other side of
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: the room, there is a, I guess it's a Phantom
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: of the Opera, Boris Karloff. Not the sexy Phantom of
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: the Opera. This is your proper black and white silent
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: movie Phantom of the Opera.
• 13:58
  Speaker 8: Yes, one side of his face wasn't just a little
• 14:00
  Speaker 8: messed up.
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: It was pretty messed up all over.
• 14:03
  Speaker 8: It was tore up.
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: And they've got this life-size diorama of the figure standing
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: in front of a pipe organ. And we keep hearing
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: pipe organ music kind of shooting at us. It's making
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: me feel like I should talk like this, Brian. I
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: don't know.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: I don't hear any difference. Don't you always talk like that?
• 14:21
  Speaker 8: Do you always have organ music around you?
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah. Don't you always hear organ music?
• 14:25
  Speaker 8: That's my personal soundtrack, man.
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: So, hey, you were going to be interviewing the Bowser Galactica.
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: Who's this guy that you're.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Going to be talking to? We will be talking to Mr.
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: Eric Chu, who those who have been listening to our
• 14:40
  Speaker 7: show are probably very familiar with Eric.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: He was on last year, and he had some very.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Kind things to say about our movie choice? Explain that.
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: Explain that.
• 14:55
  Speaker 7: We reviewed the Tim Burton Dark Shadows. And we all
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: had issues with it. Let's put it that way.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: True, yes.
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: And he's actually worked with Tim indirectly. He actually used
• 15:07
  Speaker 7: to do animation for the Beetlejuice series.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: Really? Yeah.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Which I brought up because I thought it was awesome,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: and he was just like, oh, that show.
• 15:14
  Speaker 7: That was like the scourge of his resume. Brought up
• 15:17
  Speaker 7: his porn past. I was just like, yeah, basically, he
• 15:20
  Speaker 7: was just like, oh, that thing, no. So, yeah, he
• 15:24
  Speaker 7: was not thrilled that I... And I continued, like, the
• 15:27
  Speaker 7: entire time. He told me how much he didn't like
• 15:29
  Speaker 7: the show and what he... thought was wrong with it
• 15:31
  Speaker 7: and by the end i was like well you're wrong
• 15:33
  Speaker 7: but i know it's your life and like your you
• 15:35
  Speaker 7: know work in the past but no you're wrong.
• 15:37
  Speaker 8: You're mistaken about your life sir yeah i thought so
• 15:40
  Speaker 8: you're too close bo's back you want to say hi
• 15:43
  Speaker 8: hi hey.
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: Bo hello bo has i believe the sexiest voice in
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: podcasting today i must.
• 15:50
  Speaker 10: Say do i now you do oh thank you.
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: I'm getting lost in your eyes now that i can
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: see you usually i have to stare at my ipod
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: and think What does he look like? But now I
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: see him. It's like creating this... It's too much, man.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: Pull back.
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: I need an adult.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: No, no.
• 16:06
  Speaker 11: It's going to get kind of weird because, I mean,
• 16:07
  Speaker 11: the mics are kind of phallic as it is. And,
• 16:09
  Speaker 11: you know, we're having this really bromosexual sort of like
• 16:11
  Speaker 11: moment here. Just right out in the middle of Wonderfest.
• 16:14
  Speaker 11: Nobody's going to ask any questions. Especially when you say
• 16:17
  Speaker 11: you're going to Wonderfest. I mean, it sounds kind of.
• 16:20
  Speaker 8: There are so many rooms right above our.
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: Heads, guys. Yeah. Stuff just happens.
• 16:26
  Speaker 10: Is this something you're even going to be able to use?
• 16:27
  Speaker 10: You're going to have to cut it right out, aren't you?
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: You know how our show works, right?
• 16:32
  Speaker 10: What, are we supposed to be talking about movies or something?
• 16:35
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: What is our topic today?
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: What is our topic today, Brian?
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Hanging out at Wonderfest.
• 16:41
  Speaker 7: That's how all of these go.
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: I have a good movie topic I can throw out.
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: What are your favorite Starship designs and movies?
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 16:52
  Speaker 12: All right.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Do you need to get in on this now? favorite
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: starship designs?
• 16:58
  Speaker 11: In the way of favorite starship designs, I really like
• 17:00
  Speaker 11: the Sulaco from Aliens, just because it looks so utilitarian.
• 17:04
  Speaker 11: I mean, there's nothing sleek about it whatsoever. I mean,
• 17:08
  Speaker 11: it looks very much like an oil rig floating in space.
• 17:11
  Speaker 11: I mean, I'm like, that looks plausible. If you're actually
• 17:13
  Speaker 11: in an era to where you have businesses going back
• 17:17
  Speaker 11: and forth trying to harvest different cores and materials from
• 17:21
  Speaker 11: other planets, I mean, you aren't going to have these
• 17:22
  Speaker 11: really pretty looking spaceships. I mean, They are just going
• 17:25
  Speaker 11: to look very clunky and almost patched together and scrapped together.
• 17:29
  Speaker 11: I mean, that's kind of up there with the Millennium Falcon, too.
• 17:32
  Speaker 11: I know that's sort of probably a cheesy one to pick,
• 17:34
  Speaker 11: but the fact that it's a spaceship that doesn't ever work.
• 17:37
  Speaker 10: It's like my car. I like that for that reason.
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: Why do you guys think whenever spaceships first started being
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: shown in movies, they were always completely sleek? you know,
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: completely white, shiny, no seams at all? Why is that?
• 17:52
  Speaker 7: Because that's what the UFOs look like when we started
• 17:55
  Speaker 7: seeing them.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: You believe in all that stuff.
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: Go ahead.
• 17:59
  Speaker 11: I was going to say also, too, probably back then,
• 18:03
  Speaker 11: just less of an understanding of aerodynamics and that. It
• 18:07
  Speaker 11: probably just more the mentality of thinking it has to
• 18:09
  Speaker 11: be shaped like a flat-out rocket. Because, I mean, that's
• 18:13
  Speaker 11: the type of thing you're going to be able to launch.
• 18:14
  Speaker 11: So it's just assumed that all spaceships, even once they're
• 18:16
  Speaker 11: in space... have to be when, you know, as time's
• 18:20
  Speaker 11: gone on, it's gotten more of the understanding. It's like, no,
• 18:22
  Speaker 11: you can pretty much have any shape once you're in
• 18:24
  Speaker 11: space because there's not going to be anything to, you know, like,
• 18:26
  Speaker 11: prevent you from moving.
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: You know, there's an old movie serial called, I think
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: it's Commander Cody or something. It's basically one of these
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: rocket men rip-off concept things. And in the show, they
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: go to the moon and they have a rocket, you know,
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: and as they're going to the moon... you never see
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: them leave the blue atmosphere and clouds and all that.
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: And I think that they were assuming that in space,
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: between the Earth and the moon, it would just be
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: the same atmosphere, you know?
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: You wouldn't know any different, really. You'd get up there.
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: No one had actually been there except maybe dogs, and
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: they weren't really, you know.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Or speaking Russian.
• 19:10
  Speaker 11: Wasn't it the Aztec mummy who fought Commando Cody in
• 19:13
  Speaker 11: the series?
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: Probably.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: I think so, yeah. Sounds about right. If not, we'll
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: go with it.
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: But it was just really interesting that it showed the
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: rocket still going through clouds and blue. Well, it was
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: gray sky like Brian's shirt. But, you know, the assumption
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: was it was blue sky and you never saw black
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: space or stars. And I can see where people would think, well,
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: obviously it's daylight and there would still be clouds in
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: space and blueness. I don't know.
• 19:40
  Speaker 8: It's just very clear.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: Well, let me ask you this, boat do you think
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: that alien you know do they kind of they kind
• 19:48
  Speaker 6: of started the trend maybe of getting away from the
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: super sleek spaceship getting more hands-on and gritty and dirty
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: do you think that it's kind of ruined it now
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: where it's like that's all you ever see people are
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: Whenever people make spaceships now, it always looks like an
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: industrial park in space pretty much. They've kind of gotten
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: away from the prettiness. I mean, what do you think?
• 20:13
  Speaker 8: The dump truck syndrome.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: So I'm trying to think.
• 20:16
  Speaker 11: I mean, in the way of most recent spaceships that
• 20:19
  Speaker 11: I thought had unique designs, it sort of got away
• 20:20
  Speaker 11: from that. Sunshine had a really, really cool one.
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: Sorry, what? Sunshine, the Danny Boyle film.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Did you ever see that? No, I've kind of forgotten
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: what that one looks like.
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: Paint the picture in our minds here.
• 20:32
  Speaker 10: Basically, it's just a huge mirror.
• 20:36
  Speaker 8: It kind of looks like a mushroom.
• 20:39
  Speaker 11: The mirror basically protects them from the sunlight as they
• 20:41
  Speaker 11: get closer and closer to the sun.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Really, it's just.
• 20:45
  Speaker 11: Extremely thin, extremely narrow, almost like just a chain of
• 20:49
  Speaker 11: rooms or compartments as you go along that's just directly
• 20:53
  Speaker 11: behind it. And they can, like, refract the sunlight if
• 20:56
  Speaker 11: they need to to help the plants grow that are
• 20:58
  Speaker 11: inside that are providing the oxygen. It's very much like
• 21:01
  Speaker 11: just a science lab that's floating towards the sun. I mean,
• 21:04
  Speaker 11: that's a really cool design that they have in that. But, yeah,
• 21:09
  Speaker 11: now that you mention it, yeah, everybody has kind of
• 21:11
  Speaker 11: gone in the opposite direction where it's like everything is industrial.
• 21:15
  Speaker 10: I don't know really who could have started that. It
• 21:20
  Speaker 10: might have been the Alien series.
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: Well, was it Star Wars, maybe? No, Star Wars. I
• 21:25
  Speaker 6: can't remember what came first.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Star Wars was first.
• 21:29
  Speaker 11: Silent Running kind of had a utilitarian look to it
• 21:32
  Speaker 11: as well, the ship and that. I can't think of
• 21:34
  Speaker 11: the name of it.
• 21:35
  Speaker 6: I don't know. That's a good question.
• 21:37
  Speaker 10: What is that first spaceship that sort of tipped the scales?
• 21:40
  Speaker 6: That broke the mold of the super sleek kind of.
• 21:45
  Speaker 7: I mean, I guess popular-wise, Millennium Falcon. But yeah, Nostromo
• 21:48
  Speaker 7: is pretty close. I mean, that one makes it not
• 21:50
  Speaker 7: cool at all. It is a big tanker just rolling
• 21:54
  Speaker 7: along in space.
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: You know, the thing about the Falcon, when I was
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: a kid, I always thought it was mind-blowing. I did
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: not understand why the control center, the cockpit, if you will,
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: was on the side of the ship. And it didn't
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: make any sense to me, but I knew that I
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: loved it. I didn't know why. It was so different.
• 22:18
  Speaker 11: The instant you said that, here in the future, once
• 22:20
  Speaker 11: this episode's uploaded, every single sci-fi geek who's a hardcore
• 22:24
  Speaker 11: Star Wars fan is going to be like, well, according
• 22:26
  Speaker 11: to the expanded universe, the reason that exists is done.
• 22:29
  Speaker 11: They're going to start twitching.
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: It's like, you fool.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: If they'd been here, they would have been like, son
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: of a bitch, give me the microphone.
• 22:35
  Speaker 11: They would have explained it.
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: Because I want to know, how did he turn the
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: Falcon left? You know?
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: One of those cool cameras.
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: He's got a textbook blind spot on his left side.
• 22:46
  Speaker 8: That's what Chewie was for.
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: It didn't make any sense to me.
• 22:49
  Speaker 8: He looks out the other side.
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: Well, that's for turning right. How do you turn left?
• 22:53
  Speaker 11: Maybe that's why the thing never worked. He was just
• 22:55
  Speaker 11: constantly colliding with asteroids.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: That could be a very good reason.
• 22:59
  Speaker 8: While we're on Starship Geometry, why is the Enterprise Bridge
• 23:02
  Speaker 8: on top of the saucer section right where it's hittable?
• 23:06
  Speaker 8: It's like you put it in the middle of the
• 23:08
  Speaker 8: ship somewhere.
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: And it's at the middle of a big circle, like
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: a target, if you will.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Bullseye.
• 23:13
  Speaker 8: Just curious.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Bad design.
• 23:16
  Speaker 8: There might not be an answer, but I'd put it
• 23:17
  Speaker 8: in the guts of the ship where you'd have to
• 23:19
  Speaker 8: go through a lot of ship to get to it.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Put it at the tail end. I mean, nobody shoots
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: for the ass end of it.
• 23:24
  Speaker 11: If you didn't have it right there, then when they
• 23:26
  Speaker 11: blow out the sky dome every time they have a fight,
• 23:29
  Speaker 11: you wouldn't have anything to come falling down on them.
• 23:31
  Speaker 11: How would you know they're in battle unless you had
• 23:32
  Speaker 11: just shit flying everywhere? Which has always amazed me that
• 23:35
  Speaker 11: on Star Trek, it's like, you can have sparks and
• 23:37
  Speaker 11: just pieces flying everywhere.
• 23:39
  Speaker 10: It's like, Haven't they punctured the hull?
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: No.
• 23:44
  Speaker 8: Well, it goes to the whole thing about why don't
• 23:45
  Speaker 8: they have surge protectors on their control panels. I mean, jeez.
• 23:48
  Speaker 8: I mean, they've got shrapnel coming right out of the
• 23:50
  Speaker 8: control panel. Just have some sort of circuit breaker on it.
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: You know, if Starfleet wasn't a bunch of space liberals,
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: I think they should have kept the bridge.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: This is where we need Paul Brokaw here again. It's
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: just like, Captain Obama, Starship Enterprise.
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: Oh, we don't use money in the future. We've evolved
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: past that. How did they ever get out of the
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: 20th century? Eye roll. If I had been creating starships,
• 24:17
  Speaker 6: I would have kept the bridge at the top, but
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: it would have been a dummy bridge. It would have
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: been like.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Pretty sneaky.
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: I would have even painted a giant arrow on the
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: hull of the ship. Bridge, do not hit.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Bridge, do not hit.
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: And then have the actual sneaky actual bridge way down
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: at the back end where no one would think to
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: hit it. And like, this starship's unstoppable.
• 24:40
  Speaker 8: They think they destroyed the bridge.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: You guys are so lame.
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: Idiot Klingons, I swear.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Speaking of the bridge, I better head back. But I'll
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: keep stopping by.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Back to the command post.
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: Let's go to the beach each let's go get a
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: wave they say what they gonna say have a drink
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: clink found a bud light bad bitches like me it's

  Speaker 6: And don't get.
• 25:22
  Speaker 8: If you want more, more.
• 25:26
  Speaker 12: Then here I am Starships were meant to fly Hands
• 25:32
  Speaker 12: up and touch the sky Can't stop, cause we're so
• 25:36
  Speaker 12: high Let's do this one more time Starships were.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Meant to fly.
• 25:49
  Speaker 12: And touch the sky let's go one last time we're
• 25:58
  Speaker 12: higher than a mother f * * *.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: Er Uh, yes, sir. May I help you?
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: Oh, I'd like two of those, please.
• 26:22
  Speaker 8: Hot dogs?
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: Yes, sir.
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: And three of those.
• 26:25
  Speaker 8: And one of those.
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: And five bars of these, and a cup of a
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: nice hot liquid.

  Speaker 6: You, sir? Oh, that's all right.
• 26:45
  Speaker 9: My saucer's just outside.

  Speaker 5: They come from miles to enjoy our intermission.
• 26:51
  Speaker 12: ¶ ¶.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: All his life, he only cared about one thing, himself.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: But now, the best hotshot pilot in the galaxy was
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: playing babysitter to an old man, a green kid, two robots,
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: and a princess. Han Solo really had his hands full.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: Han Solo is back. Star Wars is back. Star Wars.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: Rated PG. Parental guidance suggested.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: Hey guys, look what I've got. Check out these awesome
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: earbuds I'm using right now.
• 27:33
  Speaker 8: Look at that.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: That's wood right there. That's actual wood.
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: Why would you use wood to make technology?
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Because they're... It's like... They're steampunk.
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: Is steampunk really wood?
• 27:45

• 27:48
  Speaker 1: the brass together. These are the fancy high-end steampunk versions

• 29:43
  Speaker 7: So you're listening to this episode, and it sounds pretty good, right?
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: That's because we're using our new mics from the Doo-Wop Shop.
• 29:51
  Speaker 7: We are using the VLH SM2000s that are made specifically
• 29:55
  Speaker 7: for the Doo-Wop Shop. And if you want one, you
• 29:58
  Speaker 7: can go get one yourself. They are actually only $ 65
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: if you want to buy one, or they rent everything
• 30:03
  Speaker 7: in the Doo-Wop shop, so you can go there and
• 30:05
  Speaker 7: get it for as little as $ 5 a month. So
• 30:07
  Speaker 7: you too can be out there using your microphones to
• 30:10
  Speaker 7: record a show, or interview people, or, I don't know,
• 30:13
  Speaker 7: most people probably have, like, bands and, you know, rent
• 30:15
  Speaker 7: instruments and stuff, which they also do. They have a
• 30:17
  Speaker 7: huge selection.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: Of instruments, so... Anything you need for any type of event,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: whether it's a music show or a business meeting or
• 30:25

• 30:27
  Speaker 1: everything covered. So if they are located in Louisville, you
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: can go to the Highland Store at 1587 Bartstown Road
• 30:35

• 31:30
  Speaker 3: Listen if you dare.
• 31:38
  Speaker 13: It's part of your problem, you know.
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: You haven't seen enough movies.
• 31:40
  Speaker 8: All of life's riddles are answered in the movies.
• 31:43
  Speaker 6: And now, on with the show.
• 31:56
  Speaker 8: You a G, you a G, G, G.
• 31:57
  Speaker 9: My name is a nigga, you can call me nigga.
• 32:09
  Speaker 12: Moments of love Can't stop and touch the sky Can't stop,
• 32:14
  Speaker 12: this is so hard Let's do it one more time Starships,
• 32:19
  Speaker 12: moments of love Can't.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Stop and touch the sky.
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: Well, Dave, what are your favorite starship-y designs? What do
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: you like?
• 32:54
  Speaker 8: And as a kid, it's weird, but I always loved
• 32:56
  Speaker 8: the Y-Wing fighter in Star Wars. I don't know why
• 33:00
  Speaker 8: that one really connected with me.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: It's funny that it wasn't the popular one. Because that's
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: the thing.
• 33:05
  Speaker 7: I always remember playing with the toys, and the X-Wing
• 33:07
  Speaker 7: got all of them, because I guess Luke flew it.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: But when you go back and watch the movie, the
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Y-Wings are equally as much involved, and nobody cared that
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: much about it.
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: They always seemed bulkier. They weren't really... navigating the vacuum
• 33:19
  Speaker 6: of space as easily as the x-wing well.
• 33:22
  Speaker 8: You know they were older than it was it was
• 33:24
  Speaker 8: the later it was the earlier technology but i always
• 33:26
  Speaker 8: kind of i don't know i dug them.
• 33:29
  Speaker 6: I always wanted the toy i didn't have the toy
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: i i like the way that the toy had the
• 33:34
  Speaker 6: ability for you to put figures in and and oh
• 33:38
  Speaker 6: no well of course you could do it in the
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: x-wing i mean you could You could put a droid in.
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: You couldn't do that in the X-Wing toy.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: You didn't have a trap door.
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah. Hey, in the future, it's all trap doors, man.
• 33:52
  Speaker 13: It's all trap doors.
• 33:52
  Speaker 8: Trap door technology took leaps and bounds.
• 33:54
  Speaker 6: It's trap doors and ball bearings in the future. That's
• 33:57
  Speaker 6: all it is.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: That's how it runs, all this stuff.
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: Industrial parks and space. Oh, wow. What do you like, Brian?
• 34:06
  Speaker 7: The sad thing is I've asked this question before. So
• 34:10
  Speaker 7: I think I also answered it at that time. But
• 34:12
  Speaker 7: for anyone who doesn't remember a long, long time ago,
• 34:14
  Speaker 7: it's been a good year and a half at least.
• 34:17
  Speaker 7: I was always, and while we're in the nerdy Star
• 34:20
  Speaker 7: Wars universe, I was always partial to the A-Wing fighter,
• 34:22
  Speaker 7: which you never even see. But since we brought up
• 34:26
  Speaker 7: the clunky other ships versus sleek, to me, it's the
• 34:30
  Speaker 7: most cool sports car ship in the Star Wars universe.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: Everything else is so clunky and weird.
• 34:37
  Speaker 7: And even the X-Wing is like, That one is just
• 34:40
  Speaker 7: like a sports car.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: It happens to be a spaceship.
• 34:43
  Speaker 8: Actually, it looks a lot like the Jedi fighters in
• 34:45
  Speaker 8: the prequels.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: They ripped themselves off is what you're saying.
• 34:51
  Speaker 8: It's an homage to a better time.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: A backwards homage.
• 34:56
  Speaker 6: I would really like to talk to someone who's really
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: just gone a little bit too far into the fan
• 35:01
  Speaker 6: reasoning on why things work the way they do. Why
• 35:05
  Speaker 6: does having the X-Wing wings open up into that X formation,
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: make them more formidable than like your Y wing on
• 35:13
  Speaker 6: the side.
• 35:13
  Speaker 13: You know.
• 35:13
  Speaker 6: Battle ready.
• 35:19
  Speaker 8: Would you like me to go down the rabbit hole?
• 35:20
  Speaker 6: Please do. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, God.
• 35:22
  Speaker 8: Well, the Y-Wing was designed as a bomber more than
• 35:25
  Speaker 8: a tactical fighter, whereas the X-Wing has a better field
• 35:28
  Speaker 8: of fire when the S-Foil is in an attack position.
• 35:31
  Speaker 6: The whole idea of bombers in space, there is no
• 35:33
  Speaker 6: down in space. You don't drop bombs down. You throw
• 35:36
  Speaker 6: them real hard. But isn't that just like shooting something?
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: It slowly wanders towards your target.
• 35:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 35:44
  Speaker 8: Well, we were going about half the speed of light,
• 35:46
  Speaker 8: so we should have released it three days ago.
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: Got it.
• 35:49
  Speaker 9: Oops.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: This battle's all messed up.
• 35:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah, like, you know how they have compasses in real aircraft?
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: I don't think that works in space.
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah, in space they have a compass that shows which
• 36:06
  Speaker 6: way's up and which way's down, so they know which
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: way to drop their bombs. Exactly.
• 36:10
  Speaker 8: It would be embarrassing to drop it up.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: Stupid Klingons.
• 36:14
  Speaker 6: As far as.
• 36:17
  Speaker 8: Direction goes, there was an episode of Star Trek where
• 36:19
  Speaker 8: they said something about the western section of the galaxy.
• 36:23
  Speaker 8: I don't remember which one it was, but I just
• 36:25
  Speaker 8: remember it.
• 36:25
  Speaker 6: Well, I'll just agree that this way is west. Got it.
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: Moving on.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: Manifest destiny. We are taking over the universe.
• 36:33
  Speaker 6: The reason I'm asking about starships and stuff is we
• 36:36
  Speaker 6: were in one of the other rooms and there's just
• 36:40
  Speaker 6: little spaceship models everywhere and I... love little toys i
• 36:44
  Speaker 6: i can't help it it's just uh and there were
• 36:48
  Speaker 6: starfleet designs i had never heard of i mean i
• 36:51
  Speaker 6: think really some of these guys will take the the
• 36:54
  Speaker 6: basically the the round starting piece of your basic star
• 36:59
  Speaker 6: starship enterprise and they'll just start gluing on engine pods
• 37:02
  Speaker 6: and whatever okay yeah this is the uh arcadies class
• 37:06
  Speaker 6: and uh yeah and they just go on and That's.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: The wonder of making your own models.
• 37:11
  Speaker 6: You can do whatever the hell you want. Is that
• 37:13
  Speaker 6: where the wonder fest comes from?
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: The wonder.
• 37:15
  Speaker 8: Where does the fest come from?
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: Look how festive this is. We are quite festive.
• 37:21
  Speaker 8: Ask and answer.
• 37:23
  Speaker 6: Oh, that's great.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, that's the beauty of making these models is
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: you can do whatever you want.
• 37:28
  Speaker 8: As long as your nacelles keep the warp geometry correct.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: There you go. Science. It's all about science. Hard space
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: fictional science.
• 37:35
  Speaker 6: Well, actually.
• 37:36
  Speaker 8: Hard space science.
• 37:37
  Speaker 6: We were talking about this the other day, actually. Like,
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: Dave and I could not fix a car engine to
• 37:44
  Speaker 6: save our life. We couldn't change out a spark plug.
• 37:46
  Speaker 6: But for some reason, if anyone was to ask us,
• 37:48
  Speaker 6: how does warp theory work? Where you... Yeah. Geeks.
• 37:53
  Speaker 12: Anyway.
• 37:54
  Speaker 8: Well, you've got to keep your dilithium matrix clean. Otherwise,
• 37:56
  Speaker 8: it'll fracture and then you're just S.O.L.
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: Anyway....
• 38:03
  Speaker 8: We put the babble in Technobabble of Tower of Technobabble.
• 38:06
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: That is true.
• 38:08
  Speaker 6: There's also a lot of model weapons over there, too.
• 38:11
  Speaker 6: I saw an original Colonial Blaster from the 1978 Battlestar Galactica.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: I didn't see any lightsabers.
• 38:20
  Speaker 8: Well, sure.
• 38:21
  Speaker 6: I didn't see any lightsabers over there. It's all guns.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: Mostly guns. People like guns.
• 38:26
  Speaker 6: This is like space NRA over there. The SNRA.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: We're not in enlightened age, I hate to tell you.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: We are clumsy.
• 38:39
  Speaker 6: How did we ever get out of the 21st century?
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: We are random and clumsy. That's what we are.
• 38:43
  Speaker 8: Yeah, Obi-Wan, we saw the prequels. They were not a
• 38:46
  Speaker 8: better time.
• 38:47
  Speaker 6: I know.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: So much doesn't make sense.
• 38:51
  Speaker 8: The more civilized age my ass.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: Bunch of idiots then, too.
• 38:57
  Speaker 8: Yippee and sand and stuff.
• 38:59
  Speaker 6: Screw you. Screw you, future.
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: Past.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: Future past.
• 39:03
  Speaker 8: Future past.
• 39:05
  Speaker 6: Roundabout future and we we uh dave and i went
• 39:08
  Speaker 6: to a convention a while ago and there was a
• 39:10
  Speaker 6: lot of uh steampunk stuff i'm not seeing that here.
• 39:15
  Speaker 8: Not quite as much no they have better power sources
• 39:18
  Speaker 8: here now they're hardcore on steam.
• 39:20
  Speaker 7: They yeah they have to pay lithium crystals to keep
• 39:22
  Speaker 7: this stuff going they.
• 39:23
  Speaker 6: Don't need that what are your thoughts on the whole
• 39:26
  Speaker 6: steampunk thing that's going on now in pop culture, Brian?
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: I think it was like two or three years ago.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: But anyway, I'm right on the pulse of things, Ben.
• 39:36
  Speaker 6: My Tandy can only take in so much before it.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: Just craps up. My favorite comment, and I won't take
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: credit for it, but I was just like, look, it's like.
• 39:47
  Speaker 7: The goth kids found brown. And I was like, wow,
• 39:51
  Speaker 7: you are exactly right. I was like, it's the same
• 39:56
  Speaker 7: group of people, more or less. But they're like, what
• 39:59
  Speaker 7: if I glue some brass shit on my head over
• 40:01
  Speaker 7: here and get a lot of leather?
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: It's just a variation, because it's sort of the same
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: group of people.
• 40:08
  Speaker 8: You know what this vampire costume needs?
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: Goggles.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: Goggles and... A gun that shoots steaks at them. That's
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: what I need. A steam-powered gun that shoots steaks at them.
• 40:17
  Speaker 6: So what you're telling me now is steampunk is passe,
• 40:19
  Speaker 6: and I'm a complete idiot for even bringing it up.
• 40:21
  Speaker 13: Is that it?
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't say complete idiot.
• 40:24
  Speaker 8: Stan, you were stuck at 89% forever.
• 40:26
  Speaker 6: Oh, my God. This must be how trendy teenage girls
• 40:31
  Speaker 6: feel when they're wearing something that, oh, my God, that
• 40:34
  Speaker 6: is so two months ago, and you feel like a
• 40:37
  Speaker 6: complete idiot.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: You are so three years ago.
• 40:40
  Speaker 6: I am not just... I don't have... I'm not red
• 40:42
  Speaker 6: with embarrassment. I'm bronze with embarrassment over here.
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: Well, at least you're getting it.
• 40:47
  Speaker 13: Yes.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: At least you're grasping the essentials.
• 40:51
  Speaker 8: Ben finally feels like a teenage girl.
• 40:53
  Speaker 6: I'm finally.
• 40:53
  Speaker 8: We've been waiting for this day.
• 40:54
  Speaker 6: I'm blossoming.
• 40:55
  Speaker 7: I believe Paul always feels like a teenage girl. That's
• 40:59
  Speaker 7: a Tower of Technobabble joke. You guys should be listening
• 41:01
  Speaker 7: to both. You understand now, right?
• 41:03
  Speaker 8: You won't get it unless you listen to every episode.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: Every episode.
• 41:06
  Speaker 6: So what is the big thing going on in pop
• 41:08
  Speaker 6: culture today? now that I won't latch onto until two
• 41:11
  Speaker 6: years from now.
• 41:12
  Speaker 8: Get ahead of the curve for once in your life.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: That's the thing. Help me.
• 41:16
  Speaker 7: As you were saying that, I was trying to think
• 41:18
  Speaker 7: what stepped in and replaced that. I don't know if
• 41:20
  Speaker 7: there is any specific look now. It's just gotten more...
• 41:24
  Speaker 7: I think it's more professional. I've noticed in those three
• 41:28
  Speaker 7: years how many people... It is almost their job cosplay.
• 41:34
  Speaker 7: There are people that that is their thing.
• 41:36
  Speaker 6: And we.
• 41:37
  Speaker 7: have one that's a friend of the show and like
• 41:39
  Speaker 7: constantly she's uploading new pictures.
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: And I'm just like, how do you finance all this stuff?
• 41:44
  Speaker 7: Like, I just, I don't like, I can barely afford
• 41:46
  Speaker 7: to make this gray shirt that I'm wearing right now.
• 41:48
  Speaker 7: So it's like how this, like every other week there's
• 41:51
  Speaker 7: an entire new outfit with new special made accessories. And
• 41:55
  Speaker 7: like so much of it seems like it takes a
• 41:57
  Speaker 7: good amount of money to put together. And that's, I'm like,
• 42:00
  Speaker 7: are they getting like sponsors? Is it going to be
• 42:01
  Speaker 7: like NASCAR cosplay? They're going to have like a big,
• 42:04
  Speaker 7: patch on the side of their bell dress or something?
• 42:07
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: It's like, I don't know what it's going to do.
• 42:08
  Speaker 6: And wouldn't that break it? I would think.
• 42:10
  Speaker 7: Wouldn't that ruin the authenticity of your costume is that
• 42:13
  Speaker 7: you have to have a lube company on the side
• 42:16
  Speaker 7: of it?
• 42:17
  Speaker 6: Have you ever cosplayed as the kids say?
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: Not in the normal sense.
• 42:23
  Speaker 7: I did organize a movie-themed art show, and then I
• 42:27
  Speaker 7: encouraged everyone to come dressed as their favorite movie character.
• 42:30
  Speaker 7: That's probably the only time I've ever dressed up.
• 42:33
  Speaker 6: I was at that, and I recall a certain jacket
• 42:35
  Speaker 6: that you were wearing.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was in a full outfit. Thank you very much.
• 42:39
  Speaker 6: Well, I don't like to look below the waist, though.
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: Well, you should have because those pants were awesome.
• 42:43
  Speaker 6: So it was brown pants with the yellow stripes. Yeah,
• 42:47
  Speaker 6: he was Empire Strikes Back.
• 42:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I wasn't just Han Solo. I was specifically the Empire.
• 42:53
  Speaker 7: Because that's the better outfit.
• 42:55
  Speaker 6: I have a problem with the name of that on
• 42:56
  Speaker 6: the action figure cards. They always call it Bespin outfit,
• 42:59
  Speaker 6: but he was wearing that before he got to Bespin.
• 43:02
  Speaker 8: That's where he stopped wearing.
• 43:03
  Speaker 6: It, though.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, then they put him in the cool sleepy time
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: gear that he gets. He gets his night shirt.
• 43:09
  Speaker 8: Yeah, they took his jacket away. You can't freeze somebody
• 43:11
  Speaker 8: in a jacket.
• 43:12
  Speaker 6: That's crazy. That would completely deflect the... Carbonite that was
• 43:17
  Speaker 6: coming at him.
• 43:17
  Speaker 8: It was a really good jacket.
• 43:18
  Speaker 6: It wasn't just a windbreaker. It was a carbonite breaker.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: It had fensilate, which also insulates you from carbon.
• 43:24
  Speaker 6: It was that frog gear. It was breathable, but it
• 43:27
  Speaker 6: would keep him safe.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: He knew what he was doing when he put that
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: jacket on.
• 43:31
  Speaker 6: It's space. You've got to protect yourself, man.
• 43:34
  Speaker 8: Feels a little carbonite-y out there today.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: A little nippy. I've got to put this on.
• 43:39
  Speaker 7: So that was my costume, and that was about it, really.
• 43:44
  Speaker 7: After that, I was like, yeah, this is kind of cool,
• 43:46
  Speaker 7: but I've got stuff to do at all these events,
• 43:47
  Speaker 7: so I don't.
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: Have time to wear my blaster and be knocking stuff over.
• 43:51
  Speaker 6: Did you make it yourself, or did you buy it? No, God, no.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: Again, that's the other thing.
• 43:56
  Speaker 7: I'm like, I don't have the commitment or the finances
• 43:59
  Speaker 7: or the know-how to put together all those elaborate costumes
• 44:02
  Speaker 7: they do. I was like, do they make a Bespin Hanse?
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that one. I want that one.
• 44:06
  Speaker 6: You bought it off of... Off the rack? That's amazing. Yeah.
• 44:11
  Speaker 7: I mean, there's a lot of dorks out there that
• 44:12
  Speaker 7: want to dress up like Han Solo. I am just
• 44:14
  Speaker 7: one of many.
• 44:15
  Speaker 6: Dorks of all shapes and sizes.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: That's true.
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 44:18
  Speaker 6: Yeah, was it pricey, would you say?
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 44:21
  Speaker 7: Not as pricey as many other things I've seen out there. But,
• 44:24
  Speaker 7: you know, for me, who is poor, it was pretty pricey, actually.
• 44:30
  Speaker 8: Some have more apparatus than others.
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: I suppose.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
• 44:34
  Speaker 6: I can eat or I can get a Bespin jacket. Jeez.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: I was hungry, but damn, that jacket looked good.
• 44:39
  Speaker 8: And it's fitting better all the time.
• 44:43
  Speaker 7: Luckily, I bought one size down, because I'm not going
• 44:45
  Speaker 7: to eat ever again.
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: Spent all my money on this vintage blaster.
• 44:49
  Speaker 6: Pew, pew.
• 44:53
  Speaker 7: Actually, it makes a weird... It's broken. Like, it looks awesome,
• 44:56
  Speaker 7: but it makes like a whirring noise. Like, whatever is
• 44:59
  Speaker 7: supposed to make the right noise, it just kind of goes.
• 45:01
  Speaker 6: Oh, is that the toy from 1970? Yeah. Okay, I've
• 45:04
  Speaker 6: got it too in... I actually took it apart once
• 45:06
  Speaker 6: to check it out. And there's this little white spinning
• 45:10
  Speaker 6: wheel with these notches in it. And when you press
• 45:15
  Speaker 6: the button, it starts spinning. And when you pull the trigger,
• 45:18
  Speaker 6: the trigger actually makes this little piece of plastic come
• 45:21
  Speaker 6: down and hit into the cogs. And it makes this sound.
• 45:25
  Speaker 8: It's not electronic.
• 45:26
  Speaker 6: Which is laser.
• 45:27
  Speaker 8: It's practical effects.
• 45:28
  Speaker 6: It's almost like steampunk.
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: It's the real world.
• 45:31
  Speaker 8: That's probably because you didn't have enough steam in your.
• 45:32
  Speaker 12: It's.
• 45:33
  Speaker 6: Mechanical and cogs and whatnot.
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: It's true.
• 45:36
  Speaker 6: Nice. I just love how I'm years late to the
• 45:39
  Speaker 6: whole steampunk party. That's great. Like, were there ever steampunk Borg, like,
• 45:43
  Speaker 6: cosplay steampunk, you know, walking around?
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: Isn't that sort of, like, cancels itself out?
• 45:47
  Speaker 8: I mean, they're redundant. They're more hydraulic than steam, but,
• 45:49
  Speaker 8: you know, same deal.
• 45:51
  Speaker 6: Just picture this big smoke stack on the top of
• 45:53
  Speaker 6: the board.
• 45:54
  Speaker 7: There's got to be, because I've seen, and I know
• 45:56
  Speaker 7: I've seen a picture of a steampunk Boba Fett. So
• 45:59
  Speaker 7: there has to be a steampunk Borg.
• 46:01
  Speaker 6: Here comes the Borg Queen.
• 46:02
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 46:04
  Speaker 6: Oh, that's great.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: Quick, throw more coal into the back of her.
• 46:10
  Speaker 6: You know, also walking through the little area where you
• 46:13
  Speaker 6: see all the models and stuff, I am continually amazed
• 46:17
  Speaker 6: at the amount of TNA in sci-fi modeling.
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: And this is a subdued.
• 46:23
  Speaker 7: They specifically have a ruling that it can't be overtly.
• 46:28
  Speaker 7: get over the top and explicit.
• 46:31
  Speaker 8: On the slave layer scale, is it?
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: I've seen a few that are borderline. I don't know
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: if I haven't been over there. They used to have
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: a separate little section that was a closed off room
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: that then you could do whatever you wanted.
• 46:43
  Speaker 6: Really?
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: And I've seen one or two that kind of went there.
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: because i got.
• 46:47
  Speaker 8: Here late so we just basically made a beeline here
• 46:49
  Speaker 8: so i haven't seen this yet.
• 46:50
  Speaker 6: Oh wait till you see well there's there's this one
• 46:52
  Speaker 6: table it's just like i swear it's genie from i
• 46:56
  Speaker 6: dream of genie flashing her gazongies and it's got little
• 47:00
  Speaker 6: bitty stickers over the nipple part see if they do
• 47:03
  Speaker 6: that they can get away with it okay really yeah
• 47:06
  Speaker 6: but and i'm just looking at this and in over
• 47:08
  Speaker 6: and over you're just seeing you know okay dave we
• 47:11
  Speaker 6: were just talking about how boob armor is not really practical.
• 47:15
  Speaker 6: Did you hear this?
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: Actually, I saw that post and the next day listened
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: to your episode about it.
• 47:19
  Speaker 6: Yeah, because, you know, boobs are sort of, they sort
• 47:22
  Speaker 6: of focus the spear point into the wrong area. Yeah,
• 47:26
  Speaker 6: it doesn't help you really.
• 47:26
  Speaker 8: Ben is pointing at his sternum after miming boobs.
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: The motion of a weapon going towards the boobular area.
• 47:35
  Speaker 8: You have a 50-50 chance of either deflecting them away
• 47:37
  Speaker 8: or deflecting them into the sternum.
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: Or going straight into your heart. Not a good idea.
• 47:41
  Speaker 8: Not where you want a sword.
• 47:42
  Speaker 6: No, not really. So over there, there are all these
• 47:45
  Speaker 6: little models of very busty, ass-endowed warrior women, you know,
• 47:51
  Speaker 6: with the spears and the swords and nothing else. And
• 47:54
  Speaker 6: I'm like, you never see any, like, well-endowed, overly muscular
• 48:01
  Speaker 6: male warrior things with any... With a little sticker covering
• 48:06
  Speaker 6: up their little area.
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: There's a special room for that, probably.
• 48:09
  Speaker 7: We just haven't been there, but somewhere I bet there's
• 48:12
  Speaker 7: a convention just for that. And by the way, speaking
• 48:16
  Speaker 7: of being late to the game, you're just noticing that
• 48:19
  Speaker 7: Sci-Fi and Fantasy likes TNA?
• 48:23
  Speaker 6: I didn't have... I was shocked. Shocked, I tell you.
• 48:25
  Speaker 6: I didn't have cable growing up. I didn't have cable
• 48:28
  Speaker 6: growing up. Just now.
• 48:30
  Speaker 8: It is a wonderful world out there that I am
• 48:32
  Speaker 8: just now noticing.
• 48:33
  Speaker 6: Well, that's just it. It's like whenever you come to
• 48:35
  Speaker 6: one of these things, they sort of take everything and
• 48:37
  Speaker 6: focus it into one area. And it's like just extreme.
• 48:41
  Speaker 6: Like I've seen so many Millennium Falcons today. I've seen
• 48:44
  Speaker 6: more Millennium Falcons today than I've ever seen in my life.
• 48:47
  Speaker 6: I've seen more fake sci-fi boobies today than I've ever
• 48:50
  Speaker 6: seen in my entire life. Don't lie. Outside of my basement,
• 48:56
  Speaker 6: I've seen more fake sci-fi boobies.
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: This is, oh my gosh, it's great. That was Belle Dee.
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: She's like two tables down.
• 49:06
  Speaker 6: I was just thinking that.
• 49:06
  Speaker 9: I was like, it kind of looks like a Belle Dee.
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: It's Belle Dee.
• 49:09
  Speaker 9: Hi.
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: Hi, welcome to Movie Meltdown.
• 49:11
  Speaker 6: What's your name?
• 49:11
  Speaker 9: My name's Carrie.
• 49:12
  Speaker 6: Carrie, what brings you down to Wonderfest?
• 49:14
  Speaker 9: Friends.
• 49:15
  Speaker 6: Friends?
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: And to see this amazing Belle D shirt.
• 49:18
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 49:20
  Speaker 9: I actually just purchased a crew shirt that she did.
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she's awesome. It took a couple years.
• 49:25
  Speaker 6: Can you paint a picture for the people listening of
• 49:27
  Speaker 6: what you're looking at?
• 49:30
  Speaker 9: It's kind of like a Betty Boop, but a little
• 49:35
  Speaker 9: more childlike in nature and a very vibrant red vest
• 49:41
  Speaker 9: jacket with the movie Meltdown logo. It's pretty awesome.
• 49:46
  Speaker 6: Have you ever heard of movie Meltdown?
• 49:48
  Speaker 9: I have not. No, I have not.
• 49:50
  Speaker 5: I'm a new fan, I guess.
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: This is the episode to start with.
• 49:55
  Speaker 6: Wait a minute.
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: With this set up, I don't know. We'll go back
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: and pick you out a good episode.
• 50:00
  Speaker 6: Hold on. We're picking gold here.
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: What? We are movie-themed. Many group conversations, some of which
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: may lead nowhere.
• 50:11
  Speaker 6: Can I ask something real quick? Courtney, you're wearing a... Carrie,
• 50:16
  Speaker 6: I'm sorry. Oh, it's Countess Carrie. I thought it said
• 50:19
  Speaker 6: Courtney Carrie. You're wearing a Ghostbusters shirt.
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 50:23
  Speaker 6: And are you wearing Ecto-1 earrings?
• 50:26
  Speaker 9: Actually, no, but they're Hearst earrings, actually.
• 50:28
  Speaker 6: Nice.
• 50:29
  Speaker 9: Kind of the interest that I was going for there,
• 50:31
  Speaker 9: so nice catch.
• 50:34
  Speaker 6: See, girls, I notice these things.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: That's why you're married.
• 50:38
  Speaker 6: I'm the.
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: I don't notice anything.
• 50:41
  Speaker 6: I'm the enlightened podcaster.
• 50:44
  Speaker 8: He's sensitive.
• 50:46
  Speaker 6: What has been your favorite thing that you've seen so far?
• 50:50
  Speaker 9: Actually, there's a dragon model over on the other side
• 50:53
  Speaker 9: that's pretty wicked.
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: Just like vinyl kit?
• 50:55
  Speaker 9: It's about 18 inches tall, and it looks like a pet.
• 50:58
  Speaker 9: It looks like something you would have sitting on your
• 50:59
  Speaker 9: living room floor, and your child would play with it.
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: They put together some good stuff, I have to give
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: them credit.
• 51:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's pretty awesome. Are you thinking of purchasing Cedric?
• 51:07
  Speaker 9: If I could paint, I surely would.
• 51:08
  Speaker 6: Oh, it's a kit.
• 51:11
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it's a model kit. Yeah, it's pretty neat.
• 51:14
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's sort of the beauty of this show also
• 51:16
  Speaker 7: is like they've got the display models, but a lot
• 51:18
  Speaker 7: of them you can go get the kit in the
• 51:20
  Speaker 7: other room and like you can do your version of
• 51:22
  Speaker 7: it at home.
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if you have the skill.
• 51:24
  Speaker 9: If you have the skill to paint, definitely.
• 51:26
  Speaker 6: I don't.
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: That's why I don't do any of that.
• 51:28
  Speaker 8: Or you can be utterly disappointed when you get home
• 51:30
  Speaker 8: and can't make it work right.
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 51:32
  Speaker 6: Where's the table where you purchase talent?
• 51:35
  Speaker 8: I learned that.
• 51:36
  Speaker 9: When the models are $ 300, the last thing you want
• 51:38
  Speaker 9: to do is take it home and give it a go.
• 51:40
  Speaker 6: Where's his back leg?
• 51:41
  Speaker 7: I learned my lesson with my Star Wars van snap-together model.
• 51:46
  Speaker 7: When I couldn't snap it together and get it to
• 51:48
  Speaker 7: work right, I was just like, yeah, this is probably
• 51:50
  Speaker 7: not my area.
• 51:52
  Speaker 8: This frame is bent.
• 51:53
  Speaker 9: You were into the layer of skin, you know, when
• 51:55
  Speaker 9: I was gluing it together.
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: I have it, but it still has glue on it
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: to this day.
• 51:59
  Speaker 6: Hey, Countess, let me ask you one more thing. Sorry,
• 52:03
  Speaker 6: I'm taking over here.
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: Feel free.
• 52:05
  Speaker 8: Just stand back. He does this.
• 52:07
  Speaker 6: Are you, have you seen anything today that you would
• 52:11
  Speaker 6: find offensive, that you maybe think, ooh, that's too far?
• 52:14
  Speaker 5: Don't touch that.
• 52:20
  Speaker 9: Actually, I haven't seen it today, but I haven't been
• 52:21
  Speaker 9: in the model room. But they had a bust last
• 52:25
  Speaker 9: year of basically a severed head.
• 52:27
  Speaker 6: Nice.
• 52:28
  Speaker 9: And it was, it was CSI. detail it was extremely.
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: I remember that because it was human it.
• 52:37
  Speaker 9: Was very human like it looked like if you saw
• 52:40
  Speaker 9: it in a bag in an alley you would think
• 52:42
  Speaker 9: that it was a human head it was pretty.
• 52:44
  Speaker 6: Incredible and how much was that thing going it wasn't.
• 52:48
  Speaker 9: For sale it was actually in the contest i'm sure if.
• 52:50
  Speaker 7: You add how much would you pay if you threw
• 52:52
  Speaker 7: enough money at him he would probably.
• 52:53
  Speaker 9: Part with it and i would say it would probably
• 52:56
  Speaker 9: go in the in a thousand or up Probably.
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was like.
• 53:01
  Speaker 6: Arm and a leg, right?
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: Well, no, it was like movie-grade quality. It was movie-grade, yes.
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: Probably that is their job on the side.
• 53:07
  Speaker 8: Are we sure it wasn't just a human head lemonade?
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: Or it could have been a human head.
• 53:11
  Speaker 9: Dipped in something and set up on a pedestal, yeah.
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: I tried to enter one of those one time, and
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: they wouldn't let me.
• 53:16
  Speaker 6: Isn't it funny how movie-grade... the movie grade standard changes
• 53:20
  Speaker 6: throughout the years. Like, say you're Vincent Price, House on
• 53:24
  Speaker 6: the Hill. It's just a skeleton held together by wires.
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: Look at this realistic blood.
• 53:29
  Speaker 6: And that was technically movie grade, quote unquote.
• 53:32
  Speaker 8: That's true.
• 53:34
  Speaker 9: Yeah, when you think about all the props they used
• 53:37
  Speaker 9: in Star Wars and things like that today, and you're like, wow,
• 53:41
  Speaker 9: we go to great lengths.
• 53:42
  Speaker 6: Dave actually has the camera light thing handle thing that
• 53:48
  Speaker 6: they use as the lightsaber.
• 53:49
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it's an external flash from, I think it's from
• 53:53
  Speaker 8: the 60s.
• 53:53
  Speaker 6: I found it at a yard sale. How did you
• 53:54
  Speaker 6: find it?
• 53:55
  Speaker 8: I found it at a yard sale for five bucks
• 53:56
  Speaker 8: and I grabbed it and paid for it before I
• 53:57
  Speaker 8: told them what it was.
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: And then you told them as you were getting ready
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: to run out of the yard.
• 54:02
  Speaker 6: By the way, it's a lightsaber. Bye! That's great.
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go put this on eBay for $ 4, 000.
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: Bye!
• 54:07
  Speaker 8: Boy, that's prying out of my cold dead hand is.
• 54:10
  Speaker 3: What it's doing. Nice.
• 54:13
  Speaker 5: That's cool.
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 54:15
  Speaker 6: Well, we don't want to take up any more of
• 54:16
  Speaker 6: your time here.
• 54:17
  Speaker 8: We've already ambushed you enough.
• 54:18
  Speaker 6: Well, how often do you get to have a countess
• 54:21
  Speaker 6: on your podcast?
• 54:23
  Speaker 9: It's true.
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: We appreciate you.
• 54:26
  Speaker 6: Tell her where to find this so she can hear
• 54:29
  Speaker 6: herself on the internet.
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: MovieMeltdown.com, but assuming you don't remember, you can take one
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: of these flyers.
• 54:33
  Speaker 9: Oh, isn't this nice?
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: It's original artwork.
• 54:37
  Speaker 7: We had that done. I keep making people do artwork
• 54:40
  Speaker 7: for us.
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure why. I'm not sure if anybody else cares.
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: But we, Bill D, this is Eric Chu. I keep
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: making people do artwork.
• 54:47
  Speaker 6: And I can only draw boobs. That's why you never
• 54:49
  Speaker 6: ask me.
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there is a reason I haven't asked you.
• 54:51
  Speaker 9: Yeah, you just bring the personality, right?
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: That's what we call it, personality.
• 54:56
  Speaker 6: Oh, we should give her one of our cards. This
• 54:59
  Speaker 6: is our podcast.
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: That's cute.
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say sister show, but I don't know. See,
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: thanks for work.
• 55:07
  Speaker 6: See, thanks for work.
• 55:08
  Speaker 5: Yay!
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: This isn't the Christmas special.
• 55:12
  Speaker 9: Short circuit comes alive.
• 55:15
  Speaker 7: He's my favorite guy on the show, by the way.
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's these other guys, but he's my favorite.
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: Towerbot's the best guy. I'm telling you.
• 55:21
  Speaker 8: He doesn't leave the tower because of the 50-foot extension
• 55:24
  Speaker 8: cord thing.
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: Well, neither does Ben.
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: Thanks, guys.
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: Have fun.
• 55:29
  Speaker 6: Thank you.
• 55:31
  Speaker 8: Ben's actually running on reserves right now.
• 55:34
  Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: His battery winds down eventually. And then he gets sad.
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: There are only two modes with Ben. I've seen the
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: sad Ben. It's just like a space bomber.
• 55:42
  Speaker 6: It's either up or down.
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 55:44
  Speaker 7: And you better get your direction right because you don't
• 55:46
  Speaker 7: want to be there when it's coming down.
• 55:47
  Speaker 8: Space bombers are like Ben's moods.
• 55:49
  Speaker 6: Well, let me ask you guys this. Since we're sitting
• 55:51
  Speaker 6: here with all the spaceship models and everything, are there
• 55:54
  Speaker 6: any spaceships in movies that you looked at and you're like,
• 55:57
  Speaker 6: that's just dumb. I don't like that.
• 56:00
  Speaker 7: I have to say, well, that initial time I saw
• 56:04
  Speaker 7: the Borg ship, I went, what the hell kind of
• 56:06
  Speaker 7: ship is that? I mean, as time's gone on, I've
• 56:09
  Speaker 7: realized it doesn't matter. It can be a big cube
• 56:11
  Speaker 7: flying through space. But initially, I was just like.
• 56:13
  Speaker 8: What?
• 56:14
  Speaker 6: That's not a ship.
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: You stupid steampunk bastards.
• 56:18
  Speaker 7: So, yeah, I was just like... That one struck me
• 56:23
  Speaker 7: as odd initially, I'll have to say. As time's gone on,
• 56:26
  Speaker 7: I think the Borg are pretty awesome, but that ship
• 56:27
  Speaker 7: still seems kind of like an odd.
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: Way to go.
• 56:29
  Speaker 8: See, it's so unnatural.
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: It is. We're not used to it with our space
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: shuttles and, you know... Our Mercury. That's not how we
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: build things at all.
• 56:39
  Speaker 8: Our Geminis.
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: Our Geminis.
• 56:40
  Speaker 6: And our Apollo.
• 56:42
  Speaker 8: Oh, wait, we're out.
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: We don't make ships anymore.
• 56:43
  Speaker 8: Our nothing.
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: Anyway.
• 56:46
  Speaker 8: Our theoretical ships that we don't have.
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: Our pretend ships.
• 56:48
  Speaker 6: You know, it's funny. When I was a kid, for
• 56:51
  Speaker 6: Christmas or something, I got like a weird red-colored space
• 56:56
  Speaker 6: shuttle toy thing. Probably something you get at like a
• 56:59
  Speaker 6: dollar store now. I mean, it was really, really cheap.
• 57:01
  Speaker 6: It was just like a stocking stuffer thing. And I
• 57:03
  Speaker 6: was telling a kid on my street, That I had
• 57:06
  Speaker 6: got a spaceship that looked like the thing that Buck
• 57:09
  Speaker 6: Rogers was flying. I'm talking about the Gil Gerard 1980s
• 57:13
  Speaker 6: Buck Rogers. So he was all excited thinking I had
• 57:15
  Speaker 6: one of the little star fighters. And when he saw it,
• 57:19
  Speaker 6: he basically said the seven-year-old equivalent of what? hell is
• 57:23
  Speaker 6: this and i was trying to explain it's the ship
• 57:26
  Speaker 6: that buck rogers was flying in before he got sent
• 57:28
  Speaker 6: to the future you know and you know ranger seven
• 57:31
  Speaker 6: the last space probe and he was not buying it.
• 57:33
  Speaker 7: And if it takes that much explanation you're not gonna
• 57:36
  Speaker 7: impress a kid you're not selling it a kid's gonna
• 57:38
  Speaker 7: be like dumb moving on.
• 57:40
  Speaker 6: Oh my god but okay i've a spaceship i found
• 57:46
  Speaker 6: i didn't like and i apologize i was not excited
• 57:51
  Speaker 6: about the a-wing fighter because to me it's... You're wrong. Well, yeah,
• 57:56
  Speaker 6: but to me it seemed to be.
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: I'll be cruising around in my sporty A-Wing and.
• 58:00
  Speaker 6: You'll be, you know.
• 58:00
  Speaker 8: Puttering around in the B-Wing.
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: Clunking along in your Edsel.
• 58:04
  Speaker 6: And it's because I think between the time period between
• 58:08
  Speaker 6: Star Wars and Return of the Jedi came out, you
• 58:11
  Speaker 6: may recall when I saw the Millennium Falcon, I was like,
• 58:13
  Speaker 6: why is the control pod on the side? That doesn't
• 58:17
  Speaker 6: make sense. By the time Return of the Jedi came around,
• 58:20
  Speaker 6: I was like, it's stupid to have the cockpit right
• 58:23
  Speaker 6: in dead center. Why don't they do something more imaginative?
• 58:26
  Speaker 6: And why is it all smooth and stuff, you know?
• 58:28
  Speaker 6: It's like I'd been ruined, I guess. I don't know.
• 58:31
  Speaker 8: Staying in this realm. The B-Wing fighter never made sense
• 58:34
  Speaker 8: to me.
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll give you that one. I always thought that
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: was weird.
• 58:37
  Speaker 8: You talk about the Falcon having an off-center control. I mean,
• 58:41
  Speaker 8: that whole ship swung around. How did it land?
• 58:46
  Speaker 6: It's like the selling point for the toy was whatever
• 58:49
  Speaker 6: position you put it in, the cockpit will always be
• 58:51
  Speaker 6: right side up. But that only works in gravity scenarios
• 58:57
  Speaker 6: as you're playing with it. But in space, yeah, I know.
• 59:00
  Speaker 7: While we're in that universe, how about the podcars? What
• 59:04
  Speaker 7: if you don't like your stupid guy that you're stuck with?
• 59:06
  Speaker 8: And I'm like, I'm stuck with Jimmy.
• 59:10
  Speaker 6: Shut up, Jim. You mean the twin pod cloud?
• 59:14
  Speaker 7: Yeah, the whole cloud cars just look kind of girly
• 59:18
  Speaker 7: to me.
• 59:18
  Speaker 8: As a youngster.
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: Why do you need two pilots? That's what I'm saying.
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: I'm like, it doesn't make sense.
• 59:22
  Speaker 7: Either you need one and make it just a smaller ship,
• 59:25
  Speaker 7: or if you needed to carry more people, wouldn't you
• 59:27
  Speaker 7: just make it a bigger ship that you could, like,
• 59:29
  Speaker 7: load things into? But it's just, it's like a motorcycle
• 59:32
  Speaker 7: with a sidecar.
• 59:33
  Speaker 6: Did you have that toy?
• 59:35
  Speaker 7: No, because I thought it was, it looked like a
• 59:37
  Speaker 7: girly toy to me. I was just like, what is
• 59:39
  Speaker 7: this cloud planet?
• 59:40
  Speaker 8: It was a blind orange.
• 59:41
  Speaker 3: What?
• 59:41
  Speaker 7: Girly twin, yeah, I wanted, you know, I wanted Slave 1,
• 59:45
  Speaker 7: damn it. That was my ship. And I had that,
• 59:48
  Speaker 7: and it was awesome.
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: And it's weird.
• 59:50
  Speaker 7: It doesn't make any sense why it's like that. It
• 59:52
  Speaker 7: gets in this way and flies this way, and it
• 59:54
  Speaker 7: pops up to the top.
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: And I'm just like, I don't care. It's awesome.
• 59:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I love that. And I thought that the A-Wing
• 59:59
  Speaker 6: was too much like a conventional aircraft, I guess. And, like,
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 6: Slave I was weird. I still don't know which way
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 6: is up, technically.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 8: Well, it's a fire spray class vehicle, by the way.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 6: Please explain. Well, it shoots a lot, anyway. It shoots
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 6: a lot.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: It shoots a lot.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 8: It sprays fire. It's right there in the name.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: He is Boba Fett, damn it. That's what he does.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 8: Fire is sprayed by it.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 6: Well, anyway, I was down here earlier with my good
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 6: lady wife, Eddie, and we were walking through the room
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 6: over there, and we were kind of surprised at stuff
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 6: we didn't see. We didn't see anything for Game of Thrones,
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 6: which is kind of all the rage right now, and
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 6: We only found, we found nothing for Buffy the Vampire Slayer,
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 6: which is kind of her favorite thing, except for a
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 6: library play set for $ 125. And no action figures included,
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 6: by the way, on that.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: Well, of course.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 6: And so it's, I guess this is tiered more toward,
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 6: this convention is more towards kind of a.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: It's a little more old school.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 6: Like a spaceship-y kind of.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: Well, it's like classic sci-fi and horror. That's usually more
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: of what they end.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 7: Up focusing on is just stuff that's really old school.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 7: And then it just sort of spills over because we're
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 7: geeks and we like a lot of different stuff.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 6: So there isn't a lot of sword and sorcery stuff.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 6: This is mainly technological sci-fi, right? There's some of that.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: In the modeling.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 7: If you go there, you'll see some Konins and you'll
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 7: see a lot of that kind of stuff that gets
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 7: worked in. It definitely has a fantasy angle to it.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 7: But I think it just sort of goes in waves.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 7: Like some years I think it's more. It is weird,
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 7: the Game of Thrones. Because like Buffy just seems like
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 7: it's on a downward wave now. Because it's been so
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 7: long in the series that every once in a while
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 7: you'll see one of them turn up at a convention.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 7: But other than that, it's not a whole lot of focus.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 8: On that anymore.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 6: Because I've seen a ton of Voyage to the Bottom
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 6: of the Sea stuff.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: See, that's old school.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 6: Which just surprises me.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: That's old school.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 6: And I guess it's because they had a cool ship.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 6: Buffy didn't. It's true.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 8: There's no Buffy mobile.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 6: Why wasn't there a Buffy mobile?
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: The Scooby gang should have had a mystery machine, really. Truthfully.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 6: Why was there no Malibu Dream Castle?
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 8: Well, everything in Sunnydale was so close together, everybody just
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 8: ran to where the bomb was.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 7: They did only have one street. That became the joke
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 7: of the series. So we're going to go out on
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 7: the street and shoot this scene.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 8: Do it from the other direction. It looks like a
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 8: different street.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: It's a totally different street.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 3: Oh, God.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 6: Oh, man. You know, okay, when I was a kid,
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 6: I also, again, going back to spaceship designs, that didn't
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 6: make sense. I never really understood the whole alligator on
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 6: the skis configuration for the Battlestar Galactica, for a Battlestar,
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 6: you know, because I never could figure out where the
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 6: launch tubes were. I always thought maybe they came out
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 6: of the front.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: I think that's personal, Ben. I don't know if you're
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: supposed to be asking these kinds of questions.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 6: But I don't think that's where the launch tubes were.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: You stay out of my launch tubes, okay?
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 6: So now on the reimagining, this is something I may
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 6: want to ask Mr.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: Chew.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 6: Where are the launch tubes? Because I think maybe they
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 6: come out of the side of the pod.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 8: Yeah, they come out of the side of the pod.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 6: But shouldn't they go forward? Forward, not sideways? Like on
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 6: an aircraft carrier, they launch them off the front. They
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 6: don't go sideways.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 8: No, but the Battlestar comes off and shoots off the side,
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 8: so it can throw more fire a longer.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 6: Oh, like a broadside. Yeah, a broadside.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: I see.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 8: See, and you want to shoot the... vipers out, but
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 8: if you're in a fight, you want to be able
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 8: to get them back pretty quickly. That's why the pods
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 8: are so you can land multiple fighters at the same time.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 6: We've got to get Dave and Eric two together. I
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 6: think they're on the same wavelength here.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 8: I just love in the reimagining that the, I guess
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 8: it would be the starboard pod was still a gift
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 8: shop throughout the entire series. It was a museum slash
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 8: gift shop.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 6: Nice.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 8: That was a nice touch, I always thought.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 6: How do you guys feel about sound in space when
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 6: you see it in movies?
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: No one can hear you scream.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 6: But they can hear a TIE fighter go by.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: That's because it sounds cool.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 6: It's not screaming.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 8: It's howling.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: That's the science behind it. Cool is more important.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 6: Cool trumps science. Absolutely.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 8: If they switched to the outer space and there was
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 8: no sound, people would be yelling, Sound! Where's the sound?
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: Something's messed up!
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 6: I want my money back!
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 7: Go up to the popcorn guy and tell him this
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 7: isn't making any noise.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 6: That's why they had to go to classical music in 2001,
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 6: because people would be like, where's the sound?
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: This is broken.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 7: So yeah, I guess we've rambled on enough for this episode.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 8: We've had our ramble quotient.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 6: I have no idea what you're going to call this one.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 6: Boobs in Space or something? I don't know. What are
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 6: you going to name this one?
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 8: Ben feels like a teenage girl.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 6: Steampunk is back, bitch.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: Ben is so passe.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 6: Ben's Tandy only goes up to 2009.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 8: Reluctantly.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 7: So, not that we didn't already play it, but tell
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 7: people where to find you guys on the interwebs.
• 1:05:16

• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: And he's pretty good at it, I have to say.
• 1:05:52
