- 0:00[Music] welcome to multiple
- 0:03nerdgasm with your hosts Matt Luke and
- 0:07Dan multiple nerdgasm your guide to All
- 0:13Things
- 0:17nerdy so guys I uh I had a dream the
- 0:21other night that I had was that good you weren't you weren't there actually uh oh
- 0:27no the the dream was that I got to Dan sadly no man uh that's my dream every
- 0:33other night of course but uh this particular night I dreamed that I got an
- 0:38advanced screening to episode 8 The Last
- 0:41Jedi right so uh obviously this doesn't give us any insight into what the film
- 0:47will actually be but do you guys you want to you guys want to know what
- 0:51episode 8 was in my dream yeah yeah what's your dream tell us about it yeah
- 0:57so um so in my dream
- 1:00episode 8 was actually a prequel right to
- 1:06what so it was uh it was a prequel to
- 1:11episode 4 right mhm it was about a Youngy you just fall asleep watching
- 1:17Rogue one no it was before that it was about Luke Skywalker around 15 years old
- 1:22right and he obviously knew nothing about the force knew nothing about Jedi
- 1:28knew nothing about Ben Kenobi and all that kind of stuff but he still actually
- 1:33uh I guess because of his naturally High mlan count he was able to manipulate the
- 1:38force he just didn't understand it right but he had always known that he could do
- 1:43these subtle little Force Maneuvers it focused on that and it focused on one
- 1:47particular Adventure that he went on as a younger man it was almost like a
- 1:51western he went to this kind of outpost town in tana and he had this
- 1:56station that's right yeah maybe it was and uh he was trying to pick up some
- 2:01power converters no but he had uh there was this kind of gangster in the town
- 2:05and uh it was it was like a Weston right he was trying to set these gangsters off
- 2:08each other kind of like uh what's that that Samurai movie that ripped off that
- 2:13cowboy movie you know what I'm talking about no fist full of dollars right
- 2:18there was an alarming amount and even in the dream I was shocked there was an
- 2:22alarming amount of hardcore sex in the
- 2:27film what yeah like at one point uh there's this kind of like well before we
- 2:32go on what's an alarming amount of sex for a Star Wars movie any right but I
- 2:39but don't forget that in this dream I'm just sitting in a cinema watching a film
- 2:43right I'm just musing to myself Fu there there's this one scene where Luke uh
- 2:48there's this kind of gun battle in the street and Luke Ducks down behind this
- 2:51kind of old rusty uh I'll say car but you know that's only for the purpose of
- 2:56some kind of speed speed or something right yeah um and then he looks in in
- 3:00inside is a transvestite and an alien having sex
- 3:07right right yeah and the transvest is like deep throating this little alien
- 3:12penis and I remember thinking even in the dream this is a bit much for a Star
- 3:16Wars movie I remember I was thinking just before has there ever been a film
- 3:21where I've thought this is an alarming amount of sex and and all I can think of is the
- 3:26room oh yes absolutely when that's scene just goes on for way too long and it's
- 3:32and it's just not it's boring yeah that's right yeah and only one of the
- 3:38actors seems into it and they seem way too into it and then the same sex scene
- 3:43is just in it again later yeah now I haven't seen the room is the person
- 3:48that's enjoying the sex scene is that the writer/director oh yeah correct yeah
- 3:55had a feeling it might be him and the other one's just a poor actress who
- 3:58regrets agreeing to it yeah no I haven't seen I know I need to
- 4:02and it's like the best worst movie but I don't know the guy just seems like a
- 4:06dick and I just don't want to give him money look it's very fun you do want to
- 4:10see it but don't just download it and watch it at home right you've got to go
- 4:15to a cinema that is playing it as like a midnight screening or something they'll
- 4:19give you if go to theum or something yeah cron Orum the chromium chromium y
- 4:25throw spoons at the screen Chuck a football around it's worth it
- 4:30it's great yeah it's well worth it I will see it at some point but yeah I
- 4:34need to see it with people oh yeah yeah yeah the only problem with seeing it
- 4:38that way first is that you will miss some of the funnier moments because
- 4:43everybody's talking and yelling stuff sometimes that's true like my tastes
- 4:47some of the funniest moments in the room aren't you know leg slapping com not the
- 4:52leg slapping funny bits it's just the atrocious acting and delivery of lines
- 4:57just like really amuses me and uh sometimes you miss those because people
- 5:02are laughing cuz he's just really is yeah awful Next Level awful but he
- 5:06doesn't the thing is he doesn't think it's awful does he I don't know what he
- 5:11thinks like the impression I've got from one of interviews I've seen he actually
- 5:15thinks it's still a legitimate good movie we'll put it this
- 5:19way Luke this guy had such a little understanding about how the medium of
- 5:24film worked that he knew he wanted to release it both at the cinema and on
- 5:28video so he shot it simultaneously on two cameras a film camera and a video
- 5:35camera what yeah the cameras were side by side at all times he's he's actually
- 5:41like a a pretty baffling human being so there's actually two versions of the
- 5:46movie pretty much I guess so yeah even though you have them side by side they
- 5:49would still be slightly different like the the movie doesn't even make sense
- 5:53like and it's not it's not like it's a convoluted complex story it just just
- 5:58scenes happen and two characters are doing something and it'll cut somewhere
- 6:01else and one of those characters is now in that scene doing something and then
- 6:05it cuts back and they're still in the other scene like it doesn't make any
- 6:07sense well it made him money so that's true it eventually did do we lose Dan
- 6:12did Dan go away no sorry I'm here I'm here I think he's just in shock yeah
- 6:16he's just too busy thinking about Tommy waso yeah I was actually thinking more
- 6:20that if if you haven't thought that a movie had an alarming amount of sex then
- 6:26you obviously haven't watched nyom
- 6:29maniac by Tria in which you see in full
- 6:35detail shff [ __ ]
- 6:38people but I would be expecting that when I was watching that so I I don't
- 6:44think I would be alarmed by the amount of sex I was alarmed by seeing Shila
- 6:48Buff's penis yeah but you saw it before you watched the movie why just by
- 6:54Googling it yeah yeah we on this very podcast
- 7:00I think I blocked that out of my memory how's the weather where you guys
- 7:06are stable um yeah for Dan it doesn't change for me we're in a heat wave at
- 7:13the moment yeah that's what I thought yeah I'm I'm not saying that just
- 7:15because we' run out of other things to talk about I just wanted to mention that
- 7:18um for for the very first time uh I've been experiencing blizzards it's kind of
- 7:22fun blizzard so you've been playing uh Diablo I yeah that's right you haven't
- 7:28gone back to World of Warcraft have you no no no no no no no no this is uh this
- 7:32is the the uh I guess the climate that the those games were based on snow falls
- 7:38from the sky I don't know you guys probably aren't familiar with that where
- 7:41you where you live actually Luke you get snow sometimes in camber yeah oh very
- 7:45very very rarely yeah well we've got a [ __ ] ton of it outside it's actually it
- 7:50doesn't sound fun to me I get to I have to work from home on days cuz I can't
- 7:55get to work wow and they just accept that as an excuse they just like oh well
- 8:00no one can get here no it's not not even an excuse no no no my my work is
- 8:03actually really good about it he says you know don't come in if you're not
- 8:06comfortable driving don't still put in a full days worth of work oh yeah of
- 8:11course that's why we've got laptops I think it's sometimes easier to work from
- 8:15home I agree sometimes always easier to work from home like you don't have to
- 8:19deal with people it's more for me that I can actually do tasks from start to
- 8:25finish yeah sure without just constant distractions you can start no
- 8:29distractions there's no interruptions here I go I'm going to work on this I
- 8:33haven't experienced it at the new job but at my old job yeah people can't just
- 8:37walk up and ask you to do something else yeah exactly and I think employeers
- 8:41should realize that too like if I work from home I get a day's work done as in
- 8:45a day's worth of work in about 3 hours well the other thing is you sort of even
- 8:50if you do work like a full-time like the whole 8 hours you're sort of still
- 8:56saving an hour of your own time because you don't have to travel any anyway yeah
- 9:00you don't have to shower anything you just get up don't have to change yeah
- 9:06never have to shower again and that's very [Laughter]
- 9:11important I hate showering uh one thing I got that I mentioned I got a laptop I
- 9:16got a I got one of the new MacBooks it's got one of those little touch bars on it
- 9:19so how is that touch bar it's cool yeah it's it's a little gimmicky cuz uh not I
- 9:25mean cuz I I'm a programmer so I don't have a whole lot use for it you know
- 9:31just program it to do stuff Matt it's not magic I probably should uh it's
- 9:35fancy in that if I've got Spotify playing then a little Spotify logo
- 9:40appears on it if I tap that it'll come up and I can control a bunch of stuff in
- 9:44Spotify that would normally have to click into the app to do so like skip
- 9:49tracks I can even scrub through tracks from the from the little touch bar it's
- 9:53cool so what is it cuz like I don't know Max at all anymore so what's the touch
- 9:58bar okay so uh on my laptop uh there's the keyboard and then where the you know
- 10:04the F F1 F2 Etc keys go function keys yeah yeah where the function keys
- 10:08normally are I have a little touchcreen that uh
- 10:13changes where your function keys well they're on there if I push the uh cuz on
- 10:19a Mac the function keys are actually kind of hidden anyway
- 10:23like the function keys control things like uh the volume or the brightness and
- 10:28then when you hold down the the the function button which is at the bottom
- 10:30left of my laptop keyboard then they become F1 F2 F3 and then on on the new
- 10:36one if I hold down the F the function key then those function keys pop up on
- 10:41the touch bar does that make sense I just yeah just couldn't imagine living
- 10:46living without function keys that's all what do you use them for though seems
- 10:49weird to me I use them a lot for my work oh okay all right I can't remember the
- 10:53last time I used a function key quite honestly yeah I mean I do to quick save
- 10:57and quick load in video games from time to time okay yeah like for programs I
- 11:02use like it's a lot like f8 is like activating stuff so it's oh okay well I
- 11:07mean they're still there it's just you've got to hold down you know like a
- 11:11another key to get them to pop up but it's pretty cool I can see uh a lot of
- 11:16the Apple stuff uses it more effectively uh so I think if you use logic you know
- 11:21it's got a bunch of Handy shortcuts on there and Final Cut I think has that too
- 11:26they've implemented it and I'm sure other stuff will
- 11:29uh it's a little gimmicky at the moment but it's cool um I think where gimmicky
- 11:36stuff can sometimes take off or can go nowhere like um sure I know like the Wii
- 11:40U I'm going to use as an example like that was great for Nintendo but no one
- 11:46else really took no third party developers took it up so I wonder if
- 11:50it's going to be the same for the Apple yeah it could be could be well Spotify
- 11:55uses it uh to pretty good effect and hopefully other apps will too but yeah
- 12:02it's it's it's cool it's handy uh it's not as I don't know when I first saw it
- 12:06and people were complaining oh the function keys are gone no they're not
- 12:09they're still there m they're not just takes one more button push and they're
- 12:13back well on a it's the same anyway yeah yeah the MA's a bit differently so it's
- 12:19actually the same really it's just that they're not physical Keys it's like a a
- 12:23little LED display kind of like like a mini little tiny iPad on the top of your
- 12:28key board oh okay it's like they wanted to do a touch screen and then just
- 12:33couldn't commit to it well they said they tried touch screens which was I
- 12:36thought was interesting cuz it means that that they obviously did make them
- 12:39cuz they they had them and they tested them out and they just said nah we don't
- 12:43want that it doesn't capture what what we think is interesting about touch so
- 12:47they made the touch bar instead cuz to be fair I've never wanted a touchscreen
- 12:52laptop I don't I just don't care maybe they're onto I actually have one and I
- 12:56don't care for it yeah I don't know anyone who used I don't use don't use
- 13:00the touch screen I use I've got a keyboard that I've attached to it and
- 13:04that's what I use yeah so maybe there you know what this reminds me of I mean
- 13:07because you can you can customize this yourself right yes yeah yeah yeah you
- 13:12can uh you know the same as you know when you've got uh the you know the icon
- 13:15bar on a on an Apple say in Safari or in whatever you can customize the buttons
- 13:20that appear you do the same thing for the touch bar yeah I think that's quite
- 13:23good actually and it's uh and even within certain applications you can map
- 13:28out what you want to have handy on that on that touch bar it reminds me a
- 13:33lot do you guys remember a really really old console called the intelvision yes I
- 13:39certainly do yeah so it had a controller that was just plain buttons but every
- 13:45game came with a skin that you slid over the top of it I think there's one in
- 13:49this house which was a great idea it was amazing because it meant that like is
- 13:53there any television in this house you think you might just have one console
- 13:57from the late 70s early te there's a kico vision oh the kico vision no they
- 14:03have a kico vision here oh sure it's probably the same thing well this
- 14:07reminds me of that just in the way that like now if I'm pushing say I'm using
- 14:11Final Cut Pro if I'm pushing the cut I'm not just pressing B I'm I'm actually
- 14:17pressing on the little blade tool you know yeah right little razor blade don't
- 14:22C well I've actually had all mine removed from my home by my
- 14:28psychiatrist what you let him in yeah oh he in into my heart while he was there
- 14:34he stole all the razor then he committed suicide did you see this article made me
- 14:41laugh dark this article about the uh the Indian
- 14:45textbook that uh AB bit of flack this is
- 14:49a this is a children's textbook called our Green World environment studies uh
- 14:56which I guess they Ed to teach kids about science uh in school in India mhm
- 15:02uh this is a quote uh from the book it's talking about a little experiment that
- 15:07the kids can do at home this is what it says living things need air to breathe
- 15:12no living thing can live without air for more than a few minutes you can do an
- 15:16experiment take two wooden boxes make holes on the lid of one box place a
- 15:21small kitten inside each box and then close the boxes after some time open the
- 15:25boxes what do you see the kitten inside the box without holes has
- 15:30died one one pissed off cat and one that's
- 15:36dead wow yeah so
- 15:41uh also point out something else here if you look down to the bottom right corner
- 15:46you'll notice this is page one of the book wow little where do it go from
- 15:53there yeah so right from the start you're you're killing animals yeah yeah
- 15:58the book's publisher is proed that that snippet will not appear in the next
- 16:01version but I love the uh I love the the puzzle above it write two differences
- 16:05between living and non giving things um oh right one moves and one doesn't yeah
- 16:11one's living and one's not living can only think of one no things can move
- 16:15when they're not living car moves not not on their own though yeah I mean two
- 16:21differences between living non living things in a given space I mean that's
- 16:23quite a lot to ask from a child yeah but I could sort of I can sort of understand
- 16:27where this book was coming from from like how what's a way to explain how
- 16:31important air is I think you could probably just explain it right hold your
- 16:35breath see how it to me all right Luke um if you if I hold my
- 16:41breath I'll pass out no you won't I dare you to hold your breath until you pass
- 16:46out well I won't but children that's a young children will hold their breath
- 16:52until they pass out [ __ ] eventually you just have to take a breath no
- 16:57children will have Tantrums where they will hold their breath until they pass
- 17:00out has a has child ever successfully done that see I'd be a terrible parent
- 17:04because I would be like you just do that if iuck can see where that gets here I'd
- 17:08be impressed if my kid could do that children do it yeah exactly right I'd be
- 17:11impressed if anyone could do it and I don't believe it I'd be like you know
- 17:14what you've earned my respect son you can come out of the closet right I'm
- 17:18Googling it now I know it's true suffocating children just pop them in a
- 17:23little box one with holes and one with yeah if you've got two kids pop them in
- 17:29each box but yeah they yeah they promised that that this experiment will
- 17:33not appear in the next edition of the uh of the book and not only that I I think
- 17:37they've kind of almost based this on schro Theory but the point wasn't to
- 17:44kill one and let one live no you know he was he was he was proving a hypothetical
- 17:50yeah if he' known what he was trying to achieve at the beginning he could have
- 17:53solved this pretty quick one or the
- 17:57other where is he getting all these cats and why is no one asking him all these
- 18:02questions I need another cat okay you got quite a few cats at home now no no
- 18:06no only the one so yeah don't uh don't you guys ever accidentally you
- 18:12know Murder an animal by not putting holes in the the box or anything like
- 18:16that I don't know that I have no I can't say I have but I have just posted a link
- 18:22under segments kids health.org that talks about kids holding their breath
- 18:26for their pass out it say spells is this like magical the kid magical children
- 18:31spells why is this under spells spells yeah breath holding spells breath
- 18:37spells Luke what is this Luke what do you need to cast
- 18:42this types of breath holding spells Matt look Luke if you if you
- 18:47thought you were going to cast any spells then you should have told me that
- 18:50you needed that in your inventory before we left look at this little kid up the
- 18:54top look at him he's like [ __ ] you I'm going to hold my breath in a minute
- 19:00[Laughter] minute shy little [ __ ] he's like I'll do
- 19:05it I've done it before and I'll do it again [ __ ] little smirk on his face I
- 19:10will give myself brain damage yeah I will put my life at risk
- 19:16to prove this point but have you read these do pass
- 19:21out in most cases breath holding spells can be predicted all right fine so I guess kids
- 19:27can do that crazy there you go I don't think I ever did that I don't I I don't
- 19:32know anyone who has I know I haven't but I like my breath let them pass out then
- 19:37they'll be quiet oh it's Dan's having one now
- 19:42yep he's casting a little breathing spell on his lungs
- 19:46mhm I'll be right in a sec you guys made me laugh too much oh sorry yeah thanks
- 19:53all I've ever wanted we have been doing that for like the last 4 hours so yeah
- 19:57if the listeners care we were just playing a uh game of edge of the Empire
- 20:03yeah we worked out I'm not allowed to make decisions anymore what did you guys
- 20:07think of edge of the Empire by the way we haven't done any board game type
- 20:10stuff and I guess that's sort of related it's like a it's tabletop it's uh if
- 20:14you're not familiar with it it's the the Star Wars role playing game it's like
- 20:18Dungeons and Dragons uh but a bit bit different I I quite like the uh the
- 20:23mechanics in it to be honest I do too actually I'm starting to get hang of it
- 20:27now like the dice were confusing to start off with but they make a lot of
- 20:30sense now they do I almost want to play a game of Dungeons and Dragons using
- 20:33these dice now you know using this mechanic it's very it's very
- 20:37straightforward yeah and it gives you a little bit more scope than Dungeons of
- 20:41dragons does yeah exactly it's cool yeah you can have uh listeners if you're
- 20:45familiar with role playing games sorry if this is uh I we'll keep it brief in
- 20:50Dungeons and Dragons you you generally you have like a number that represents
- 20:53your ability to do something you roll a dice or a number of dice to see if you
- 20:58suc Ed based on the numbers and that's kind of it you the pass or fail whereas
- 21:02in edge of the Empire you have a pool of dice that you assemble based on various
- 21:07factors and when you roll them some of them are good some of them are bad and
- 21:11the result can be something like you fail but something good happens anyway
- 21:16you you succeed but something bad happens or like all sorts of variations
- 21:22on that and it's it's a cool creative way of playing yeah no I I enjoy it but
- 21:28yeah as I said like I I should not make decisions and why does everyone keep
- 21:32letting me talk first uh cuz it's hilarious yeah that's true it is and I
- 21:38will never ever sensor you like I drank some blue milk I took a hostage I fell
- 21:43in love with a hostage I tried to shoot that hostage in the back because you
- 21:46were making rash decisions based on your you found love for her the hostage was
- 21:51calming me down it was settling me down it was going to be great yeah you went
- 21:55[ __ ] nuts after after she died I just had to get my frustration out and that
- 22:00may have included shooting you I think what we need to do is is after we do
- 22:04these campaigns that maybe we take turns but somebody needs to write them up in
- 22:08narrative form um yeah Jenna Jenna's actually already doing that great
- 22:15awesome we had the same idea but it's it's I think it's it's worth putting
- 22:19there out as legitimate fan fiction she's looking at me funny now like she's
- 22:23looking at me like what the [ __ ] did you just say I'm
- 22:26doing but I actually enjoyed that so much I've already brought my
- 22:30specialization cards I'm going to be a pilot and I'm going to just shoot more women in the
- 22:36back you're going to be a [ __ ] road you sh other women just thought the ones
- 22:40I fall in love with you fall in love with all women yeah well that's the plan
- 22:45watch out Hannah feel that's going to be a you until you stop shooting him in the
- 22:50back whichever one's Left Alive at the end of the day that'll be the one for me
- 22:56well while we talking about Star Wars we've got as always we've got some
- 22:59[ __ ] Star Wars news we can't go a week without
- 23:03[Music]
- 23:14it this cosplay one is actually really cool uh cuz it's predates cosplay
- 23:19technically you're talking about the kid that made boot bootleg Darth Vader masks
- 23:24in the 70s that's right uh and they pretty good
- 23:29wow they're [ __ ] awesome considering he made these from memory and sketches
- 23:35he made in the dark while going back to see this the film again at the
- 23:40cinema and this would be before cosplay was a thing yeah well it was certainly
- 23:46before Star Wars cosplay was a thing because this was before any Star Wars
- 23:50merchandise was even conceived of how much was he selling these for 20 bucks
- 23:55at school how much would they be worth now yeah 20 bucks cuz these are good Matt do
- 24:02you want to take us through this story because this is really I find this
- 24:05really interesting and if somebody's not going to make a documentary on this kid I call
- 24:13dips at the time you could pre-order merchandise for Star Wars but you
- 24:18couldn't buy it yet cuz uh they kind of pre-sold all the action fig the whole
- 24:23empty box Christmas this kid I guess came up with the idea of just making the
- 24:29Darth Vader helmets himself uh and so he just went and saw the movie like a like
- 24:34a bunch of times and he even he tried to uh sneak a camera in at one point and a
- 24:38roll of film so that he could try and take
- 24:41photos to base his models off but he got scared so Not only was he did he invent
- 24:47Star Wars cosplay he also invented [ __ ] bootlegging bootlegs that's
- 24:53right no but he got scared uh and so instead he just took notes and uh and
- 24:58collected images from magazines and stuff but he said it was hard because
- 25:01all the magazines used the same promo images that didn't have the detail that
- 25:05he needed because he only saw certain aspects but he uh yeah he made them from
- 25:11um like a a plastic vacuum molder that he had in his basement uh that he built
- 25:18it from a vacuum cleaner plywood and a hot plate that he could use to make these [ __ ]
- 25:23things and uh it's kind of amazing amazing to be honest and like they're
- 25:30not they're not great but they are great given the story yeah absolutely I mean
- 25:37these look a bit wonky right they like they look like a like a slightly not
- 25:42quite right Darth Vader but uh but a child made them in his basement yeah
- 25:48yeah so considering all of these factors and considering he didn't have so much
- 25:52as a magazine cut out to really get a a
- 25:56model off you know these are remarkable he did it from memory from seeing the
- 26:01movie a bunch of times yeah genius uh his name Bill
- 26:06Kowalski and he's a he's now a risk management executive in the insurance
- 26:11industry he didn't go he's being sued by Lucas
- 26:15film yeah maybe I guess looking at it he still got one of these which is cool oh
- 26:21wa it says here better uh some of the masks have survived but the IRS took the
- 26:26molds because after he left the business his brother got into some financial
- 26:30trouble with the IRS the molds were stored in his shop and the IRS cleaned
- 26:34the place out and them off wait the IRS they can't auction them off I hope they
- 26:41P tax on it it says they cleaned the place out and auctioned it all off I
- 26:44hope Disney go after them selling bootleg molds they went after that guy
- 26:50who made the stormtrooper helmet molds if you remember remember he he had the
- 26:54original molds cuz he'd worked on the film and they went after him cuz he was
- 26:58selling replicas that he' made they were pretty good replicas yeah yeah well they
- 27:03were spot on yeah but that it just seems so weird that IRS would auction that off with
- 27:10something that they don't have the rights to just making some money what
- 27:14you got to do man yeah what do they care they just want their money back I'm
- 27:17looking up the name of this documentary that we watched by the way man yeah while while
- 27:23we are mentioning documentaries I caught up on the Batman Ontario Batman
- 27:29documentary oh yeah little we discussed last week but that I hadn't seen yet I've now seen
- 27:34it and I agree with you I think uh it's
- 27:38it's equal parts awesome and sad at the
- 27:42same time yeah yeah it's a little bit
- 27:45like however having a black Batman is kind of awesome yeah that's true you
- 27:52know I don't think we even mentioned that because I I mean suppose it's not
- 27:54super relevant but uh yeah I thought that was cool too Al so that guy was
- 27:58[ __ ] ripped yeah he was and he was a ninja yeah yeah we watched a documentary
- 28:04this week uh it's on Netflix it's called El's tree 1976 and it is a Star Wars
- 28:10documentary on Netflix yes I want to see that I wonder if it's on Netflix here
- 28:14I'm going to check right now it's uh it's pretty interesting they they talk
- 28:18to a bunch of people uh mostly who some of them some of them you would know like
- 28:24David prow uh who I've met
- 28:28uh when I was a child and uh the guy who was uh Boba Fett I'm sure Luke knows his
- 28:34name Jeremy Bullock Jeremy Bullock uh and then also a bunch of people who are
- 28:39just extras or background characters and it's really interesting because they
- 28:42talk about oh and the guy who was bigs is on there and uh the other guy in
- 28:48those scenes that got cut out with bigs he's on there but they're all kind of
- 28:52background actors and you know extras and stuff and it's funny because they
- 28:58talk about how how they got involved and how they got to be in Star Wars and that
- 29:02kind of thing and then you know for a while it was cool and it all went away
- 29:05and then more recently because of the conventions and stuff they've all kind of become
- 29:10celebrities and it's interesting to see like the difference in personalities
- 29:16between these people like there's some of them that just [ __ ] love it and
- 29:20like they just suck it up the attention because they've obviously they wanted to
- 29:24be actors and they were all kind of just you know extras and bit actors and stuff
- 29:28and and now they're just loving it cuz they get all this attention and then
- 29:31there's others like this one guy in particular who uh he was a stormtrooper
- 29:36and he was also like an X-Wing pilot in the briefing room in in A New Hope and
- 29:41stuff like that uh and he they convinced him to do a couple of conventions and
- 29:44stuff and he hated it because he was like ah I'm not I'm not I'm not no
- 29:48nobody I'm just I was just an extra I was just there stupid I don't people
- 29:52paying me it's embarrassing it's ridiculous and so just all these
- 29:55different kind of attitudes about it yeah that that must feel weird right
- 30:00because I mean you must know you're nobody you just happen to Star in Star
- 30:04Wars and that excites people right yes so even though there's dozens of Storm
- 30:09Troopers in that movie if you say you were one people are going to be like
- 30:12[ __ ] Yeah there one guy who has a bit of a winge at one point because he's in a
- 30:17New Hope quite a bit as a rebel alliance guy uh and he's annoyed because people
- 30:21like is it Jeremy Bullock the Boba Fett guy yep yeah he he's he's annoyed he has
- 30:25a bit of a rant about how um he on the screen you can see his face but everyone
- 30:29loves Jeremy bulock because he was Boba Fett and he has like a bit rant about it
- 30:33it's like shut up that's funny yeah he definitely watch
- 30:40it sounds like Ricky Jes and that other dude in extras you know why a guy in it
- 30:44line yeah there's a guy in it who no [ __ ] reminds me of of Ricky jaes because
- 30:49he looks a bit like him and he behaves like a Andy milman David Brent kind of
- 30:54crossover he's like you know he he he is that kind of guy it's a good documentary though
- 31:01that's awesome you know there's another documentary that I've bookmarked that I
- 31:04want to see called The Lion King that's line L I N E the line King which is
- 31:11about queuing up for Star Wars movies oh really yeah and it's it's
- 31:17about people I could say cuz the original movies or from the prequels
- 31:22both so I think yeah I think it's about all those people that queued up outside
- 31:26of like man's Chinese Theater and all of that back in the' 70s for the first Star
- 31:31Wars and then it goes for all those people that queued up for The Phantom
- 31:34Menace remember uh what was the name of that dog puppet that Triumph the Wonder
- 31:40doog Triumph the Wonder doog that's it yeah who just went and insulted people
- 31:45he's in there I like him remember when Eminem punched him but like all admit
- 31:51like there was a a website countdown. comom that was basically website create
- 31:57I think it was dedicated to people outline of episode
- 32:02and I remember going there and watching people lining up and reading the story and then I
- 32:06just so depressing to have wasted so much of your life doing that for episode
- 32:11one yeah I know the disappointment you've made not lining up
- 32:17for things in art though Luke it's what I do you know that's not
- 32:22a new thing Matt I'll say this Luke now is far more successful at not having to line up
- 32:28um now that he has a wheelchair because people just go okay fine you're not
- 32:32lining up it's fine but I remember when we were 17 or 18 and we were in the
- 32:37Burger King at uh I know this [ __ ] hell there was
- 32:44clearly a line and there were two tills but only one was open right so only one
- 32:49had a line behind it Luke took it upon himself to start a new line in front of
- 32:53the closed till and then just refused to move
- 32:59people lined up behind me yeah and the staff kept saying people stop lining up
- 33:03behind this man he knows well and good that this is not a line they served me
- 33:08in the end yeah they did but by that point we had reached the front of the
- 33:12queue in the real queue bought our meals gotten our food went outside eaten it
- 33:18and then eventually you came out all proud that uh they'd eventually let you
- 33:23through I still count that as a win yeah yeah I guess looking back you won that
- 33:30one he broke them before we move off Star Wars news
- 33:36uh there's some Star Wars Battlefront news for all those people who enjoyed
- 33:40Star Wars Battlefront I'm looking forward to souls Battlefront 2 a lot
- 33:45more than the last one I like yeah last one we played look Battlefront cuz this
- 33:50one's kind of single player yes it's a great game it was pretty fun for a bit
- 33:55but there was nothing that kind of made me go back it after a couple of weeks of
- 34:00owning it and playing it right but now there's a single player campaign which
- 34:05is going to be great well I mean I don't know that but I I feel I'm going to
- 34:09enjoy that more than just random random death matches you know that's well I
- 34:15actually did log on to it the other day and it was really hard to find a game
- 34:21yeah yeah like really hard hard not on like I tried to play the one of the down
- 34:26the DLC for for the Cloud City stuff could not get a game mhm yeah which is
- 34:31quite depressing cuz it's a good game but this is why games need to stop being
- 34:35multiplayer only yeah that's right yeah yeah not that it wasn't fun it was
- 34:40really fun playing multiplayer but as we know you've you've really got to to play
- 34:45it with people you know you got to play it regularly you got to have the time
- 34:49and these things the excitement about these things just wears off over
- 34:53time what I think like some multiplayer games do quite well because they keep
- 34:57updating releasing stuff whereas this the game didn't really change they
- 35:02released a few levels and that took a year to released like four MH map packs
- 35:08yeah I was well going by that and by that stage everyone's moved off yeah one
- 35:13other thing that I find interesting about this announcement is that you are
- 35:17going to be able to play campaigns in multiple Star Wars
- 35:22eras and that I find intriguing yeah right what I'm
- 35:27interested to if they bring in like episode 1 2 and three at all or if they
- 35:33gloss over them a little bit yeah they left those out on purpose I think yeah
- 35:38or maybe maybe you play Old Republic stuff maybe maybe it's those yeah well
- 35:43that would be cool that stuff's not Cannon anymore is it the Old Republic
- 35:46stuff it's all it's legend legend is that their official stance on it is it
- 35:51bloody God that's what it is all the books extended universe is now the Star
- 35:55Wars Legends oh my God
- 36:26[Laughter]
- 36:39[Laughter]
- 36:58J lloy got screwed over well look I mean how old was JLo
- 37:03you can hardly blame a 9-year-old kid for a performance they did in a badly
- 37:08written badly directed film I know exactly oh what yeah like that's why I
- 37:13feel bad for him cuz you heard like George Lucas's directing style is
- 37:19faster more energy more intense that's he's more intense like that's all he's
- 37:24getting he's 9 years old and then also has to play one of the most famous
- 37:30characters ever and he got not only he was at a severe disadvantage absolutely
- 37:37yeah yeah I mean that other kid on the behind the scenes was clearly better but
- 37:41you know whatever but they would have ruined him too I
- 37:45reckon absolutely someone would they would have made him ruin it I mean even
- 37:50look um Hayden christensen's not a bad actor I've seen him in other things Life
- 37:54as a House is a great movie and he is great in it not liked any movie he's
- 37:59ever been in but he's not as bad in anything else as he is in those Star
- 38:03Wars films no everybody think is a good example N pman is a great actor yeah
- 38:10she's good she's not terrible yeah cuz the dialogue is just terrible terrible
- 38:15yeah and it really felt like they weren't allowed to act read these lines
- 38:21yeah not only that but the lines were wrong as well as anyone who's seen other
- 38:26Star Wars movies nose like Anakin wasn't a self-righteous little [ __ ] from age n
- 38:32all the way through he was a warrior a strong and trusted friend and compatriot
- 38:38of Obi-Wan who eventually was seduced by the dark side not just a prick that they
- 38:45came up and said hey you're a bit of a prick I think the dark side would suit
- 38:48you yeah right you want to join us over here yeah CU he really was just an
- 38:53arrogant prick the entire thing yeah yeah and for some reason they let him
- 38:57get away with a lot Why did no one tell George
- 39:02no just no I mean they let Anakin get away with a lot no I'm talking George
- 39:07Lucas away far too much let him write the script in one go yeah on that
- 39:13notepad that he has there's this quote here as well from Mark Camel uh about he
- 39:18almost got he says horn swoggled into that documentary he means the people versus George
- 39:24Lucas and they weren't calling it that when approached him and they didn't tell him it was
- 39:31negative see he says that he he almost did it but then um they started asking
- 39:36him all these kind of leading questions about you know trying to trash George
- 39:41and uh and so he he he walked away but I also in the in the other documentary
- 39:47Ellsworth the one I was talking about before David PR mentions that he's not
- 39:50invited to all the Star Wars events anymore but he doesn't really say why uh
- 39:56and I looked it up again because I was interested and apparently part of it is
- 40:02that David PR was interviewed for the people versus George Lucas and did say
- 40:06some negative stuff and apparently that's what got him
- 40:10banned oh okay interesting to Mark Hill's credit he's never said a bad word
- 40:17about George Lucas other than in like he's always said he keeps telling George
- 40:22you know you can write this [ __ ] but you can't say it and all of that stuff but
- 40:26he's never actually criticized George Lucas in any way that I've ever heard I
- 40:30mean we've made silly jokes about Mark hill before but I I think Mark Hill's
- 40:35probably genuinely a really really nice guy like from from what I know of him
- 40:41also why the [ __ ] would he slag off the
- 40:45man who singlehandedly made his career yeah well it's not like he has the
- 40:51greatest career out there well he's not
- 40:54doing too bad man I mean I know it's the you know people always saw him as Luke
- 41:00Skywalker but come on he still did three more four more films plus the new you
- 41:06know these new ones plus all the other stuff plus he's the Joker yeah but there
- 41:12a lot of really there's not a lot of other stuff in between yeah but isn't
- 41:17that good you have a bit of a do that mean a good career I only get out of bed
- 41:21every five years and they give me millions of dollars every time I do yeah
- 41:25I think he's doing all right he gets to pick and choose his roles I don't think
- 41:28he was making millions though like I know he's doing well but he's not doing
- 41:34great I don't think he's sitting back with millions of dollars in bank I
- 41:40really don't I reckon Star War like the opposite he's the opposite of Harrison
- 41:45Ford he did went to video games for a while Harrison Ford needs to stop M heml
- 41:50needs to do more just lazy he's just
- 41:55lazy I reckon he's fee for even his short appearance in episode s would have
- 42:02bought him a new house oh definitely sure oh no but I'm
- 42:07saying the in between part is the part where he's probably struggled now he's
- 42:11great he's even carry Fisher Carrie Fisher was starting to do conventions
- 42:16before yeah that's true they brought her back for episode seven yeah and thank
- 42:20God she did cuz it was [ __ ] awesome yeah I know you know what that's that's
- 42:24true yeah I think the fact that we got to to see her before she went was you
- 42:31know something that we would have regretted had we not done it oh
- 42:34absolutely very happy we did go now cuz I was yeah close to not going cuz it's
- 42:39out of the way and then I went and then I went I won't get an autograph oh I'll
- 42:43get one and then I won't get a photo I'll get one you're like I won't sleep
- 42:47with her oh [ __ ] it I'll sleep with her just the ones that's all it takes I
- 42:52won't film it I'll film it did any of you guys read princess
- 42:57Diaries I I have it I haven't read it Luke did you say you were reading that
- 43:01yes I actually started reading it I got up to the part where she's finally going
- 43:06to put it in her diary and then she passed away and then I haven't brought
- 43:11myself to go back to it so I thought you were saying that you
- 43:15got up to the part in her diary where she passed
- 43:21away no so yeah no I was really enjoying it was really interesting but then it's
- 43:27just I don't know going back and knowing that this is the last thing she'll ever
- 43:32ever write it's sort of hard qu's reading it right now and we went to get
- 43:36it from Kakuna recently and they tried to tell us it was out of print and I was
- 43:41like no no no no no no it's a brand new book and she's just passed away there's
- 43:46absolutely no way this is out of print and the guy's like I know what to tell
- 43:50you I'm like I think you mean out of stock yeah this why I've actually just I
- 43:55just got unkindled yeah took me two seconds and it was there well not Kindle
- 44:00you know just ebook yeah I do want to read it I've got it just uh got to find
- 44:04some time for reading got to learn to [Music] read I know it's just I think it's just
- 44:10hard to read when you know that's it yeah I'm like that with any dead author
- 44:15you know I can't I can't read William Shakespeare without thinking oh he's
- 44:19dead yeah but you never met him I'm kidding you never seen him you don't
- 44:25know that [ __ ] speak for
- 44:30me did somebody watch arrival is that what's going on in this I watched it last
- 44:37night look I was I was a little confused why there was a you know Alien Invasion
- 44:43sci-fi movie up for an Oscar this year but uh when I watched this I understood
- 44:49why this is a wonderful and thought-provoking and really original
- 44:55take on the Invasion
- 44:59genre and I really enjoyed this movie I don't know anything about it when did
- 45:04this come out it's very recent and it wasn't publicized very well I would say
- 45:10because uh I had it was not even really on my
- 45:15radar but it's probably going to get more publicity now that it's it's up for
- 45:20eight Oscars including best picture so hopefully people will get a chance to
- 45:24see it Matt did you did you see it yeah I saw it at the Alamo Draft House and I
- 45:29[ __ ] loved it yeah great huh yeah it's uh it's really clever it's really
- 45:35thought-provoking I I'll say this if I have one criticism of it and this is not
- 45:39even really a criticism there's a part at the end that I I won't spoil Matt but
- 45:45there's I'm not going to do it because honestly if you know about this film
- 45:49before you see it you're not going to enjoy it as much so just let it watch it with
- 45:55nothing watch it knowing nothing about it and you'll get the full enjoyment
- 46:00that that is intended yeah absolutely but there was a part towards the end
- 46:04that I thought I understood but I felt the film didn't back it up enough for me
- 46:10to be confident that I understood it and of course I went on Wikipedia later read
- 46:13the synopsis and went okay yep I was right everything I thought happened had
- 46:17happened but but I felt I I couldn't trust my own brain that it had figured
- 46:22it out and I had to kind of go to the internet to make sure that other people
- 46:26had interpreted it the same way I had Matt did you have that experience or or
- 46:31or do I just lack confidence I I think yeah maybe but although I actually
- 46:35didn't do that because I I mean maybe I could to to double check but I was kind
- 46:40of content to leave it yeah okay yeah it's tough cuz I don't want to say I
- 46:45don't want to I really don't want to spoil anything because it is very very
- 46:47very clever uh uh and like it got me
- 46:51arrival you get me yeah I tell you one thing I started watching recently
- 46:57the experence oh that's on my list I want to see that oh my God I just
- 47:02started watching this show is freaking amazing [ __ ] yeah is that the one on
- 47:07Amazon is this on Netflix or do I have to go to Italy for this Netflix oh it's
- 47:10on Netflix okay it's weird like season one's on Netflix it looks like season
- 47:142's not okay I'm bookmarking this right now but it's just it's like three
- 47:20separate it's a one story but it's happening in three separate areas and
- 47:24you're just sort of watching people find out what's happen happening and I don't
- 47:29actually know where it's heading towards it's it's great it's rare these days and
- 47:33it's not a comedy and it's not silly is that the one with Thomas Jane in it I
- 47:38don't know who that is the Punisher he was The Punisher in the one with John
- 47:41Travolta yeah the other one it might be look if we're talking about Sci-Fi TV
- 47:47shows on the internet Shane yes it is him okay good everyone do yourself a
- 47:51favor and don't even bother clicking on the first episode of the OA it is absolute
- 47:58trite arrogant self-indulgent [ __ ] I pushed on to the end because I've heard
- 48:03great things about it and uh yeah it uh it started nowhere and went nowhere okay
- 48:10thank you cuz I was actually going to move on to that next you would hate it
- 48:15this uh this is a show that is so far up its own ass that I swear people just say
- 48:20they like it because they don't understand it and think that it'll sound
- 48:23smarter if they say they like it and that's com from
- 48:29[Laughter]
- 48:34me well I it's very rare that I watch anything you guys tell me to watch so
- 48:38I'm definitely going to watch something you tell me not to right yeah yep
- 48:42reverse psychology except it's not reverse psychology it's just you just
- 48:46don't do what anyone says ever regardless yeah yeah that's right it's
- 48:50just that he watch it don't watch it doesn't listen either way he
