This is Chuck's canteena podcast where anything and everything is up for discussion. And
0:15
now here's your barman, Chuck O'Donnell, I got me a radio mic.
0:20
I canna hear it too? Is it good? Oh yeah, it's a
0:25
loud but you I mean, it's but it's your own ardument. That's good.
0:30
Okay, very good. Jesus are you spending money on? Hey,
0:36
how's it going. I'm trying to take my job? Well, you see,
0:41
I mean, well, let me tell you about this job. There's
0:44
no pay. Oh man, so I'm on the little meter. Sometimes it's
0:52
spiking red? Is it like coming across? Is like really bad? Oh
0:55
no, no, that's normal, Like and we'll just take it live here,
1:00
especially with a new mic, I had to say to like break it
1:02
in a little bit. But like that's just how it is. And here's
1:06
the thing though, it doesn't matter if you're I mean, if you're obviously
1:07
continuously going red words stained read, that's a problem. But like any podcasts
1:15
like this one, you would hope people would edit shit, yeah, exactly.
1:21
Like like for example, like there's only been I talked about, but
1:25
there's only been a select few. There's only been a select few times on
1:30
here that I've cut stuff out. That might be because someone who might not
1:34
be of like no like a known variety, you know, their last name
1:38
might actually be said or maybe just like dead air, you know, like
1:44
sometimes things happen like you know, we're doing this on we're techically doing this
1:47
over the internet, so like you know, there might be dead silence something
1:51
like that where someone gets cut out for a minute or two. Especially you
1:53
go back with another podcast, you can hear what was on. I just
1:56
continue to ramble on when it's like I feel like he should be done.
1:59
Not that I don't ramble, as my wife likes to say, but and
2:02
I know I rambled. Oh my god, Oliver right now. No,
2:06
he's trying to We've we've done a lot of like cleaning in the house,
2:10
so she's been in Germany. Like we've done like a lot of I'm trying
2:13
to get stuff done here. Yeah, and uh, right at my office
2:16
is kind of like the storage room, so there's plastic like everywhere. Oh
2:23
no, he's a plastic wrese. Oh god, I love my cat to
2:30
dead. He's almost ten years old, but continues to eat plastic and getsoos
2:35
to throw it up and go about to say, come on, you think
2:37
you learned by now, No, of course not. You know, cats
2:40
and dogs are supposed to be smarter than his humans, but you can't learn
2:46
that Jesus Christ. But yeah, so anyway, getting down with the show.
2:51
How are you? It's been a while, shag Zilla shak Zilla back
2:54
in the house with a new mic, very good mic. I've been good,
3:00
honestly, like things that have really been been getting getting sunny over on
3:07
my end. Yeah, I'm happy to be back. It's been too long
3:13
and quite frankly, just not my cat is come on, they hear each
3:16
other Charlie, Yes, oh yeah, hey baby for everyone who doesn't know,
3:24
my cat's name is Charlie. But with an l u y you're one
3:29
of those I'm kidding all your cat's adorable. What was I was saying?
3:32
Happy to be back? I should be free around more so that's good.
3:39
You know, maybe maybe a little more podcasting, that's fine. I mean
3:43
I plan to pick up podcasting a little quickly. To hear a little housekeeping
3:46
on my head. Actually, first, before I get the housekeeper, are
3:47
you drinking anything? I'm not? Actually I just finished dinner too since it
3:54
is, you know, bar themed. I made the internet since hitting Value
4:00
Ranch crack burgers, and I must say I was very pleasantly surprised. It
4:12
was delicious. I'm saying you wouln't think Hidden Valley and Burgers would be like
4:15
a thing, but so I I was skeptical for the very reason, and
4:24
I was kind of worried. So I love ranch, but I was.
4:28
I was pretty worried it was gonna be pretty ranchy. And it didn't taste
4:31
ranchy at all. It's weird. Whatever seasonings are in in that uh season
4:39
packet, only the seasoning came out in flavor and it just it added so
4:46
much to the burger. That's weird. Yeah, it was very weird that
4:49
I think. That's part of why I was so surprised. Was I wasn't
4:54
really expecting that. I thought it to have more of a ranchy taste,
5:00
but no, it was. It was literally whatever herbs are in in the
5:02
seasoning, it did something with the meat and it made it pop good.
5:08
M hm. I just since I mean, I've said a couple of weeks
5:12
ago, and again I think you were enjoining us. I do a pod.
5:15
I know it's been a what another techically eisode that come out last week
5:17
that was an era on releasing on my end. Yeah, just like with
5:26
the podcasts and like food, like I've been trying to. Last time we
5:29
were on here, I told about this diet I started doing. Really nothing's
5:33
changed other than like I'm just not eating reader carbs. I'm you know,
5:36
I'm doing minimal because you know, shockingly, ladies and gentlemen, your body
5:41
does need carbs. Yes, you can't cut anything out except processed sugar,
5:47
right, processed sugar. And I've been doing that, and like, just
5:53
like the change I've seen the last like four weeks have I mean, I'm
5:56
saying it's like it's like one of those things like look at it, you
5:58
might not notice, but like I feel fantastic. I've only done two cheat
6:02
meals, not days meals. The first cheat meal I did, after I
6:06
ate it, I had like a carb like overdox like we're no, no,
6:14
but I literally felt so bloated. I'm like, oh, I had
6:15
it was a bun on my burger. I had no cheese, nothing,
6:17
I said, a bunch of cooked vegetables on it. I literally thought like
6:20
I was gonna explode because of how like bloated, I felt, and then
6:27
this here's the thing. Especially my wife knows this and a few of my
6:30
friends. I am a burger fanatic. I love my burgers. Every time
6:34
I go to a burger joint, I always try a different kind of burger
6:38
because the classic American style cheeseburger I have my place I go to for that.
6:42
It's my favorite burger place in the world. I don't ever stay it
6:44
on here because I want them to raise the prices. That's why I believe.
6:55
Damn. Anyway, that's a lot. That's a lot of cars.
7:00
Anyway, So last weekend I went to a really good front of ours.
7:05
Emily. Her family does a thing every year called Christmas in July. And
7:10
really quick, you're not drink anything. I'm drinking Lacroix orange because I just
7:13
did a random grab in my fridge. That's when I grabbed. So I
7:18
went to this christ of July thing. We've done it. We go to
7:20
it every year. They invite, gracefully, graciously invite us every single year.
7:25
Very appreciated about it, and it would be hard for me because every
7:30
night when we do the Christmas thing, the main course is pizza, delicious
7:35
choice. Very delicious choice. Now them being sweethearts, they asked me,
7:42
Hey, we heard you're doing this diet. Is there anything you want us
7:45
to like do to like substitute And I'm like, no, I've been saving
7:47
it. I will do this for my cheatmail. They order from and I
7:51
can't remember the name of a place. It's not like a Domino's, but
7:54
it's like a smaller kind of dominds it's a change place like you've definitely I
7:58
want to say, like I said about than the a place from the office.
8:03
I'll say because I just Drew taught me, don't say brand names unless
8:05
are not almost pain exactly. So we we got this and I grabbed two
8:11
big I grab two pieces of pizza, okay, two pieces of pizza.
8:18
Emily and a few others said, we were concerned of how happy you looked
8:26
when you were eating that pizza, to the point where the Venus her Venus
8:33
Sweet, one of Caitlyn's actually Kaitlyn's made about her one of her best friends
8:37
in the entire world. She had her sister go grabbing her. Nan asked,
8:41
as I was eating my pizza because she knew what was coming, and
8:45
I was being probably I'm only gonna have two. And then we had a
8:48
few notes shows like oh we got these actual pieces of pizza, And as
8:50
soon as I heard oh, no, we have, I'd even hesitate.
8:54
You gotta take one for the team. There, I took two for the
8:56
team. And to say that, before that antacid hit that I felt like
9:01
absolute hell. Was it from like the greasy? I want to say it
9:07
was more so from the girl. Actually, no, I don't want to
9:09
see the greasy because these were, like I want to, I don't want
9:13
to. These weren't like your classic tavern style. These weren't your classic triangle
9:18
cut style. These were like your Detroit set were They're kind of thicker and
9:20
square. Yeah, so I want to say it was a combination of the
9:24
grease and the carbs. But once I asked it, I was fine.
9:28
I will say my tolerance I think has gone down a little bit because again
9:31
I've only had I've only drank on two occasions. You have one drink on
9:37
two occasions since I started. Although, but I mean, you know me,
9:39
I really don't drink that much like Jesus Christ, Like I guarant if
9:41
you were go through the entire history of this episode, this is Earth Show
9:45
this one sixty seven. I would be shocked if I heard at most a
9:50
twenty five percent of the time I've actually I'm having alcohol on here. I
9:54
just I don't drink alcohol that much. I really don't, like I'll go
9:56
most actually during the week. Well yeah, but like if I'm out,
10:00
like if I'm out of dinner, I'll have a you know, I'll have
10:01
a beer or I mean, as people have heard, I've been dabbling like
10:05
martine espressing martinis and always I'll always do something bourbon. But yeah, no,
10:09
like I've like I was last weekend, I was with my dad and
10:13
I love your dad, and we were I go visit. I've been I've
10:16
been up north in a long time. And as I'm little driving up there,
10:18
like not even forty five minutes out, I'm like, hey, anything,
10:22
He's like, yeah, need to get here quicker, Like what's something
10:24
goes? My My basement's flooding. So to say that we earned a drinker
10:28
or that was a vendor statement. And then yeah, last week and I
10:31
just had I had a couple uh sevens and sevens, and I was feeling
10:33
it. Man, Oh dude, I've had a seven and I you know
10:37
what it was one of those drinks, like of all the drinks I had
10:39
gone through my head. I'm like, well, I don't know, I'm
10:41
a drink this weekend and someone just hand me a seven and seven. I'm
10:43
like okay, and oh yeah, oh yeah it hit. And then I
10:48
had not not joking, I had one beer. Having that beer, I'm
10:54
like, this is a mistake, so bloated, I can feel it.
11:00
It was. It was a low car beard so like. But then we're
11:05
on though, it's like one of those things like oh man, because I
11:05
mean, you know, I don't drink that much. It is, but
11:07
I was like, oh man, this is really good. I will say,
11:13
though I like a baby that first night. Anyway, we went on
11:16
to the point. But yes, no, it's good to have you back.
11:18
It's good to be back. It is. It really is one to
11:22
quickly say this too. I've been saying it for a long time. I'm
11:24
gonna have other people from other places on the show, and so okay,
11:28
I mean I did have a couple of guests here and there. Had JB.
11:31
Hilliard Award winning author. I had a Melee from New York who was
11:35
doing a last I heard, you know, she's doing kind of like a
11:37
Baseball New York Yankee style, a little one production show, and it's gone
11:43
extension. So clearly it's just being successful. And now actually I have a
11:46
bunch of other things coming. We're to the point where not I'm not gonna
11:50
say I like an I'm gonna being busy. I'm not like Dwayne Johnson busy,
11:52
but to the point where I had to open a calendar and having people
11:56
I know, it's a good problem they have. So it is gonna be
12:00
a lot of podcasts here in the next couple of months. You're gonna have
12:03
to start a drinking here in the week. I know, God, I
12:05
know what am I gonna do? Scott her Brandy, Oh my god,
12:09
I'm at to wake up earlier and work around in the morning. Shit.
12:15
A little quick discosure before we get to the Slurp review here this time last
12:20
year actually a little yeah, a little little after, but around the same
12:24
time last year, I announced that I would be not taking a hiatus.
12:26
Essentially there would be podcasts coming out that might sound a little off basu,
12:30
because I would be traveling same things last year. I'm gonna be traveling here
12:33
in a couple of weeks, can we be going on to visit my wife
12:35
in Europe? So the month of August, there will still be a podcast
12:39
every single week. However, in case something timely happens and doesn't seem like
12:45
I'm talking about it for super reason, that is why. So do apologize
12:48
for that, because I remember I we got asked by someone last week or
12:50
like, are you gonna do a you can do an episode about the attentph
12:54
last weekend. I'm like, no, I used to used to clear politics.
13:01
Oh yeah, oh yeah, not that. Look I have I'll talk
13:05
about vers like anytime. All these people I talked about, they're like,
13:07
hey, what's the one thing you don't to talk about. I'm like,
13:09
I don't care if you come on here and talk about mental health. I
13:13
don't care if you come on here and talk about your say yeah, I
13:16
don't care about any of that. Second I hear political shit, yep,
13:22
I'm not doing it. I'm not call you on the podcast. I don't
13:26
care, like I'm just I'm not doing it. I don't got time for
13:28
it, and I don't get the page just I have even like Kitlyn knows,
13:31
I don't like politics because I just I don't care like people, if
13:37
like like, if you care much, if you want to care that much
13:39
about the politics, especially with what's coming up here in a few months,
13:43
and especially with the news. I kind of just broke today recording. It's
13:46
about seven o'clock Central on July eighteenth. You can go on any podcasting website
13:52
type politics. You're gonna find gone knows how many, because you know,
13:56
if the whole phraserone has a podcast is understatement and just him an email?
14:00
How do you think I'm connected with all these other shows? Right now?
14:03
That the time to do some collaboration. I just say, you know what,
14:05
I'm going to reach out to all the podcasts I probably shouldn't have reached
14:09
out to, or I should have reach out to a long time ago.
14:11
Well, I'm gonna go on too dizzy adult podcasts. Why because fuck it,
14:15
click clack, go out and make fun of me. Don't give a
14:18
shit anyway. But yeah, no, I still steer clear of politics.
14:22
I can't remember the individual's name. The person who did the logo for the
14:26
show for Chucks canteena goes and I gotta reach I don't even know they're around
14:31
anymore. Went by the name Nuclear Heat. Graphics, and prior to him,
14:41
I reach out to a different individual to do the logo. They they
14:46
said, look, I'm just gonna kind of take a ween at it,
14:50
like essentially like they said, like, hey, that's how I do with
14:52
all my clients. I take a wing at it, kind of give you
14:54
like a basic drawing, and then after that I go crazy with them like
14:56
okay, great, And he said, what what are like, what's like
15:01
the one thing you want to buy on your show. I'm like, there's
15:01
me personally politics. I'll never forget. He sent me this trucks canteena podcast
15:05
logo. It was okay, it was okay, just I'm just being honest,
15:09
but like, right at the very bottom, he kind of did like
15:11
a barstool, not like not like the not like the company bars, but
15:15
like a kind of like an actual barstool, like actual stool, and like
15:18
right on the seat he put no politics. And I'm like, like,
15:22
that's that's literally just calling out like yeah, come on the show, no
15:26
politics, and like if you're an asshole, you're gonna be like, yeah,
15:28
I'm gonna call unless I know I'm gonna talk about politics. No.
15:31
I think that that sounds like a fun idea. Just I'm not gonna it
15:35
was. But here's the thing. It was one of those things where if
15:37
you would have seen it, I might still have it somewhere on my computer,
15:41
like one of my socials where I connected with some of these graphic artics.
15:46
It was by the way for anything like like that's why, that's why
15:48
different all the show, the show, the intro, the christ the logo
15:54
and everything like that. I went through online and didn't hire some like insane
15:58
giant company. I and then fund independent contractors essentially small business owners and you're
16:03
through them, although I do any work out to them. I know I
16:04
do work on transitions on the show for like just commercially that that's on me.
16:08
But anyway, yeah, and I just if you would have seen it
16:11
like he put every like they put, you know, everything and everything's up
16:15
for discussion, sports, movies, drinking yet like all that was there,
16:18
but just the way that no politics was there, maybe it look as the
16:21
catchphrase almost I mean, welcome to Chuck's Cantina. Politics. I feel like
16:29
that a bar could definitely do that, like anything can go in the bar,
16:33
but no talking politics, you know, right, like don't don't harsh.
16:36
Someone's five. Here's how much I don't think about politics. I love
16:40
Drew, but Drew knows hate is a strong word, and he knows I
16:45
have that word for a certain team that he supports. I even allow that
16:52
to be discussed in this cantina. Yeah, much respect, Hill. You
16:57
and I have done a couple of NFL Yeah, we've done a couple of
17:00
NFL Draft and we we had the season coming up, but we could talk
17:07
a whole episode on well to do a preview. I mean, I'm excited,
17:11
That's all I'm gonna say. Me too, me too. You have
17:14
reason to be excited. It'd be nice and once in a generation if you
17:18
want to get fucking lucky at the quarterback. But hey, hey, teacher
17:22
their own. But I'm also really excited for the Bears. I am.
17:26
But again, if we go down this road or but all right, we'll
17:30
get to the actual point here. But anyway, yet, so can they
17:33
have a lot of stuff coming out? Please check Chucks Canteen on your socials,
17:40

18:06
So yes, talk, you know talking is cool anyway, So yes,
18:12
So again, I want to think you ever join us today, think all
18:15

18:26
we'll get there. Why we're here today, so full disclosure. As we
18:30
always say anytime we do a slip review on this podcast, spoilers are not
18:33
to be uh what's that word? Oh yeah, they're gonna Spoilers are assumed.
18:38
If we're listening to a SLURP review, we are going to do spoilers.
18:41
If there's going to be a non spoiler review, that's called a preview.
18:45
And by the way, I don't do previews. Why who cares if
18:52
you want to do it? If you want to if you really want to
18:53
learn, you know, you know what you know what it's called. You
18:56
want a preview is? It's called uh right, when you turn on We're
18:59
Gonna Starts Acolyte. When you do turn on Star Wars Acolyte, you know
19:02
what they do the week before? You know what they show you before the
19:03
star starts. It's called the recap aka preview. That's not what we do
19:08
here. So we're going to do a full serp review on all eight episodes.
19:12
No, are we going to cover every single episode? Probably not?
19:15
Why we always do? We talk about what we like, but we didn't
19:17
like where we think we're going, why everyone hates it, or why everyone
19:19
loves it? Spoiler everyone hates the show? I don't know. Uh,
19:22
I mean I see why, but other points it's a spoiler. Stop pitching.
19:32
Oh are you getting emails? No? I have no believe or not.
19:36
I got one of those a long time ago. Play spot far I
19:41
can't remember. Actually, I'm pretty sure it was for No Way Home.
19:47
I'm pretty sure it's for Home because we had done quite a few podcasts leading
19:52
up to that. I'll never forget. Someone said you didn't put spoiler review
19:56
and it's like not like we did like five previews shows before that, now,
20:00
like we did literally analysis of fucking trailers. I was like, oh,
20:03
do you see the part where that lizard thing all of a sudden his
20:07
head gets down. I haven't seen it, that part where the lizard while
20:15
he's jumping that spider man for some reason, he gets hit by something invisible
20:18
in the face. Gee, wonder what that? You know what I mean,
20:22

everyone, it makes sense now Yeah, okay, shower was Lezzie Headland and
21:08
uh where do we begin? Well, I'm just gonna I'm not gonna bury
21:15
the lead. I give it a six point five to seven and that writing
21:21
is strictly entertainment value. I'm not a Star Wars Lord guy, as much
21:27
as I would love to learn it, so it's not anything based on that.
21:30
It's just pure entertainment. I know. I texted you a couple of
21:36
times, especially at the start of how rough it was? Uh that that
21:41
definitely brought the score down. But for everyone it's the dialogue. To me,
21:48
it's just writing. Was Yeah, this show's best friend, both in
21:55
dialogue and with predictability. Now, I don't want to be jumping from start
22:02
to finish, but I have to be honest. You saw my text.
22:07
The last two episodes did have some plot twists that I truly didn't see coming,
22:14
so you know, I have to give credit where credits due. That
22:17
was a very nice change of pace, and it was refreshing to kind of
22:22
not be able to predict three episodes ahead based on one scene. So out
22:34
of all of I'll say, come out right and say it, out of
22:37
all the Disney plus Star Wars for the actual not okay, And I'm not
22:41
one of those ones. Oh you can't count the cord too. It's because
22:44
actually they actually are cannon of all the live action things. This definitely for
22:49
me was the weakest. And believe me, if you've listened to my sort
22:53
of review of Boba Fett, I was very critical of that writing and some
22:59
of the action as well. This show did get better as it went on.
23:06
The problem was some of the dialogue was really poor. Also, here's
23:12
the thing too, As us two lads here have gotten older, we also
23:18
have gone a little more well, not entirely. Sometimes we'd be pretty stupid,
23:25
especially coming from a disny adult over here, we've gone a little more
23:27
financially self conscious. This was a show that had a budget of two hundred
23:33
million dollars and I'm like, what, thank you what? There have been
23:40
some Star Wars things on Dizzy. Plus I'm pretty sure Mandalorian was cheaper.
23:47
That looked ten times better than this now I looked. But like, I
23:51
mean, there was some very bad just editing and some like that. Another
23:57
But first, I'm gonna come bright and say, the choreography, the fights
24:00
awesome. Oh yeah, badass like John Wick, like with a lightsaber,
24:04
shit like awesome shit, which for me, I think for me seeing a
24:08
lot of the show, the story like, Okay, here's the thing.
24:11
If I were to just read the story of us and she like of I
24:15
mean, I mean, here's a plot a hundred years prior to everything Anakin
24:21
Vader related or Luke Vader related. A bunch of Jedis are getting randomly murdered.
24:26
We're trying to figure out who they introduced the murderer. She kills Trinity
24:30
from the Matrix, which no one expected because she was the main person advertised
24:33
for the show. In the first five minutes, she gets murdered by this
24:41
woman or by this girl, and then all of a sudden, we find
24:44
out that she has a twin who they did a good job like showing it
24:48
like she was a different person. Actually the way they like, the way
24:51
they think like oh, like like, oh, this girl just killed the
24:52
Jedi. Now she's on the ship to show it's like, actually, no,
24:55
it's a twin, Like oh, okay, they did a good job
24:56
showing that. And then uh oh yeah. So they're trying to figure out
25:03
what happened. They figure out the twins alive because they thought the twin that
25:07
killed the Jedi was actually dead. It wasn't. Then they tried to figure
25:10
out why she alive. You figure out that some stranger that's the guy's name
25:14
as a Sith. He's training her, heaving her killed Jedi because she was
25:18
wrong by the Jedi on their planet because apparently her and her twin are not
25:22
actually were not born twins. They were created by some kind of force,
25:23
and the force by some space witches and shit and go, and like okay,
25:30
like that's it's pretty easy to follow. Yeah, but there were some
25:33
times It's just like it could like the entire concept could have been so insanely
25:42
cool that like just conceptually, but again, it just it just kind of
25:49
flopped. Like well, like I was so hyped for act and and I
25:57
like I didn't look at anything. I had only seen the trailer and just
26:03
like the name, you know, ALCOHOLI like that sounds pretty fucking cool,
26:07
right, So I was hyped as fuck to to watch it. And during
26:14
episode one I was so disappointed. I was just like, this is this
26:18
is lame for me. I wasn't disappointed at that. I was disappointed halfway
26:21
through because I'm just like it didn't get better for no, because it got
26:26
predictable. I mean, I'm the plots was the thing that happened, Like
26:30
what happened to I didn't that I didn't expect, but I look at that
26:36
in a second. But it was also like one of those scenes where I'm
26:38
just like, even in this podcast, well enough, you like as and
26:44
as I have said, you can literally try to make Star Wars could try
26:48
to make a character like a Pizza the Hut from Space Balls, but instead
26:53
as a character of just shit, and Renee and I would try to find
26:56
a way to justify it because we're that literally to this franchise, I mean
27:02
so much so that we both really have tattoos of this stuff on our bodies.
27:07
The point being, though, it's just like sometimes it's just like the
27:11
problem with Star Wars right now is just the inconsistency because you have things like
27:14
mandaloriin and and Or, which are award winning shows that people to call some
27:18
of the best even better in some of the original Star Wars stuff like that,
27:22
but then you have stuff like this And as I said, Boba Fet
27:26
which I mean I really did I enjoy Bubba Fat the most, or let
27:30
me or Obi Wan We're we want started off so strong, and then all
27:33
of a sudden they thought, hey, we'll have We'll do the hide Leia
27:37
in your coat trick, even though you have a giant ass hump on your
27:40
left leg. Nowah, the problem is there's no consistency, and they've made
27:47
changes in the last couple of months to try to justify that. And I
27:48
think it was just like the show was already done. But I just remember
27:51
the hype for this show was insane because it was something we had no we
27:55
had no clue about because they've not done anything like this before, Like they've
27:59
done video games like oh this took place ages ago or stuff like that,
28:03
and they never said if it's can or not. But this is legitmly the
28:07
first thing outside of the Skywalker saga, literally, and the hype for it
28:12
was real because I said it was gonna be a Sith show, which it
28:15
was, but it could it could have used a lot more Sith. It
28:21
could use a lot more Sith, which some people like hated the way the
28:22
Sith were portrayed because like, like just which I don't know why, like
28:26
this said they're not supposed to be, like like like when the guy called
28:30
himself Sith, it's like, well, that's what he is, Like he's
28:32
not he's supposed to. He's supposed to like essentially say I want power and
28:34
that's who I am. That anyway. Yeah, it's just probably put it
28:41
for every thing. But they did every single episode out of five decisions they
28:47
made. You know, usually, you know, if you want to you
28:48
know, if you have five decisions to make, usually three out of five
28:52
it's passable. The problem was it was two out of five at most every
28:57
episode. Now for me, towards the end got a lot better. But
29:00
like for me, also towards the end, it became more of okay,
29:04
not that we're gonna end this show with a band, it's we're gonna end
29:07
this show with you're gonna want to watch season two when I don't even know
29:10
if they are going to get a season or two. Yeah, the ending,
29:14
I mean, with how it kind of got much better at the end
29:19
and the way that it ended, I think a season two would be great
29:25
if they can just get right into the action. You know, she starts
29:29
training, she has to go kill people. You know, you don't have
29:32
to do all this develop the storyline. You know why why this good girl
29:38
ends up turning evil? Yeah, spoiler the good the good twin she finds
29:45
out that the Jedi Killer family, even though they were kind of defending her
29:48
and away, it was kind of like it was kind of like everyone was
29:48
wrong in their own way kind of thing that j was doing what they thought
29:51
they're supposed to do. And so she joins the Evil Twin and the Sith
29:56
guy and yeah, sorry, go on, well no, no, I
30:00
mean that's pretty much it, like you know, they can just get right
30:03
into training, you know, action all Sith type stuff right right, And
30:10
I need to bitch about this really quick too, okay, so yeah,
30:15
get right to it. Okay, So I mean that. Okay, here
30:18
there I have two gripes with like one gripe with Star Wars fans, my
30:22
people, and the second with the show. Let me go with the show
30:23
first, okay before I get actually, let me go with let me go
30:26
with the Star Wars scene first, because not many people are gonna get this.
30:29
You might not even know this, Okay. The amount of people I've
30:33
seen online bitching about why did the Star Wars change from blue to red?
30:38
This is stuff they've explained many times. Not in the movies, I'll give
30:41
you, yeah, in games, books, news, uh, TV shows
30:51
like the like the like, the cartoons like the fucking Legends and Shiit Kyber
30:56
Crystals can bleed. This has been established for a while. I've seen some
31:02
shows where it was like, oh my god, Diard Star Wars fans are
31:03
like, how did the how did the lightsaber change? It's like, I
31:07
remember you talk about how cool it was that it bled. But of course,
31:10
because you just want to join the paray on hating the show so much,
31:12
you're just gonna forget the fact that you actually know this ship. That
31:15
shit pisses me off. Moving past that now, the honestly, as bad
31:21
as some of the writing was, Okay, here's the full describe, here's
31:25
too Sometimes we don't know what things were like post production. Uh. Case
31:30
in point, there's a reason Ryan Reynolds continues to makes fun of what's one
31:33
of the funniest jokes in uh, one of the dead Pool movies. You
31:37
know, someone said, oh, I never saw green lantern and what's his
31:40
response? Neither did the editor bag? Oh, you know what I'm saying.
31:56
Fucking fucking smooth that anyway, move on. Uh. The other biggest
32:04
issue with these shows and and or improved. You can do this and your
32:07
show can be badass even though you don't have to have action every two seconds.
32:12
These shows are too fucking short. Yep, there is no reason actually
32:17
want. I'm gonna check this really quick, and I apologize. I know
32:21
this is clicking e clack skimmick. There was no reason. What did I
32:23
say? The budget for the show was, it's about two hundred okay,
32:28
two hundred million, and that's not including marketing, because the general rule is
32:31
whatever you see the budgeted, you gotta times about one point five. According
32:35
to yeah acording's pretty much they just wordscording. Wikipedia budgets about one eighties,
32:38
so you could probably go about two hundred seventy to two hundred. Okay.
32:43
I'm gonna look up a pretty good show right now. It's called The House
32:45
of the Dragon. You might have heard of it. Yeah, there's just
32:49
a little another season currently out the moment. So I'm gonna go to the
32:53
House of the Dragon, and I'm gonna guarantee you this budget, if not
33:01
more, is not by much. I guarantee it. The problem is,
33:07
I don't understand how they have And here's the thing. It's not like they're
33:09
hiring these like insane actors who are like you know, like DiCaprio or like
33:17
Dwayne Johnson, like who costs thirty five million minimum for like you know what
33:21
I mean, And stuff like that. Okay, hold on, let me,
33:24
I'm pull up the budget right now. Apologies, But the point I'm
33:28
trying to make is there is no reason that these shows should not be that
33:31
long or shouldn't be that short. I get forty five minutes at most.
33:36
Hell, I get if you just have an episode of just action packed lightsaber
33:39
shit, it's thirty five. But some of these episodes I understanding here,
33:43
and here's problem with too with stars. Sometimes these episodes start to get really
33:45
good, it ends, yep, what has been the Game of Thrones?
33:51
Bread and butter for the this entire time? It's an hour long, and
33:55
when the ship's really good, like, oh my god, what's what that
33:58
happened? Then it ends. It makes you want to watch the final week,
34:00
and then you start off right away with a banner yep. Unlike with
34:04
some of these episodes, you're like, okay, we're moving along. Du
34:07
We're not going to do anything in this episode, absolutely nothing. We're gonna
34:12
show you some more of the world, and that's that's it. According to
34:16
this, House of the Dragon has a budget, so it's about twenty million
34:20
episode, which is a lot, but with ten episodes, so it brings
34:22
a budget around t so pretty much the exact same except ten verse eight and
34:28
ten minimum an hour. Yeah, there isn't an it's not like this is
34:34
a small you know, it isn't a small studio. This isn't someone making
34:38
a movie with eyemovie. Yeah, we'll also think of how much uh cgi
34:45
are for how detailed the dragons are, right like that, you can't tell
34:51
me a dragon A single dragon would be easier than all the lace they were
34:58
seen put together. And by the way, most of Star Wars, there's
35:00
not there's never been that many lightsabers in one scene. Yeah, which was
35:05
cool, like it was badass, but it's just like I mean, then
35:07
you can sow one up it and then you can look at the episodes where
35:10
there's multiple dragons or dragon fights, right like all crystal clear detail, you
35:17
know, like a lot of moneys go into that. Like I have,
35:21
I haven't seen any of the season yet because I'm wit until it all comes
35:22
out to watch it probably for the best, to be honest. Yeah,
35:28
but I mean i've heard I heard it's been a weaker than the last season.
35:30
But from what I've heard, like all the scenes where there's like obviously
35:32
a lot of c is used nothing but phenomenal. Yeah, and it's just
35:36
like and he's I don't know if they use the thing the volume thing where
35:38
it's like giant screen in the background. I think they're actually kind of getting
35:42
away from that. So like but even you could tell like something like some
35:45
of they they they use practical effects like actually going to location and stuff like
35:50
that, and like it's still really good, but it's just like, how
35:52
does this cost that much? Like I just I don't and I don't know
35:55
if anything. That's what I need to do. I need to reach out
35:58
to of all these people connecting. I need to find like a guy into
36:00
finance in movies and be like, what do you mean why this causes this
36:04
much? It looks like it's probably the whole cast and crew, like you
36:07
know, that's probably one to two hundred people date that songs like House of
36:12
the Dragon, which have award winning app That's that's what I was thinking of,
36:15
how yeah, I mean not that, not that, not that act
36:20
like they didn't have people with you know, like the guy Soul he's from
36:22
the movie Bonding Hole Best Picture winner, and he's also he also got Trinity
36:28
for five minutes. But yeah, I just they need to get more to
36:35
say it what they need. And again, there's a lot of things you
36:37
can say about Kathleen Kennedy, but you can't deny her success. But they
36:42
need a Kevin Figgy. They need they need someone who is going to go
36:45
here's what we're doing, and that it's my way, the highway. The
36:50
problem is she does by all accounts, she is like her my ware the
36:52
highway to a point, but it's own. But she doesn't think big pictures.
36:58
She just isn't for that specific thing. It's like, no, where
37:00
are we going. It's like, no, see what you want about the
37:02
Rape and Kylo Red movies, it's been proven they didn't make a planet first.
37:07
Yeah. I like the movies a lot, but it's I've said last
37:10
Jedi is one of my least favorite Star Wars movies. Why because they literally
37:14
discredited to me, they discredit half of what happened to Provie prior, and
37:16
so many of the characters had stys that were completely pointless. Yeah. Yeah,
37:22
I mean, when you're doing something that people are this passionate about,
37:25
this invested in like, and something that has this much lower like, you
37:32
have to have a big picture. You have to make it make sense,
37:36
you have to make it feel relatable, like otherwise it's just you know,
37:43
a dumpy take on what sorrow should be. Right it Like, there were
37:51
rumors a couple of years ago with the whole Shapepack Eiger disneything, that Figy
37:54
was looking to potentially like not i mean, not leave, but potentially stepped
37:59
down because it was I mean, it was reported years it was announced that
38:02
he was gonna produce a Star Wars movie, and people were thinking this might
38:05
be his way to be like I'm done, like I'm gonna go do Star
38:07
Wars. I'm gonna go run Star Wars now, because apparently he's a bigger
38:10
Star Wars NERD than Marble, which is pretty freaking weird to say out loud,
38:19
especially, I mean, the monetizer's about vin five yeah here, But
38:22
now apparently with like movies like Deadpools like that come out, he's like,
38:25
oh, they're like, oh, that's not gonna happen. He's fully he's
38:29
fully got, he's fully energetic again. He's back, he's got the he's
38:31
got the creative juices flowing again. Like of course he does, because he's
38:35
got Ryan Reynolds in his back pocket. But yeah, it's just it's just
38:39
like, what, like, where are they going? I guessually I don't
38:43
want him to continue out with the Skywalker stuff and it's done great, Just
38:45
give me a bunch of other things because you want. Okay, here's the
38:49
problem, if anything, this is the issue. What is Lord of the
38:52
Ring's biggest problem right now? Not content? Oh you're talking Amazon, Well
38:59
no, that's literally the problem is not of concept. But the problem is
39:02
they're trying to figure out ways. Now obviously it all revolves around the rain,
39:06
which makes sense, but they are trying to find all these little ways
39:08
to make it go. Here's the Shire or here's riven Dale. It's like,
39:14
just give me a story in that universe, in that lore. Yeah,
39:19
because that's been Star Wars' problems, Like they slowly are making this giant
39:22
galaxy smaller and smaller every single day they make little hod's like oh yeah,
39:27
like Hans Sol, look you said, Hansul. It's like, like,
39:29
dude, you're in a giant galaxy. Why do the people love the game
39:32
so much? Because you're taking people to other planets and other things where like
39:36
they don't mention any of these fucking dudes, and it's all actually connected.
39:40
They say, yeah, this is all part of the universe, like we
39:43
consider this can and stuff like that, and that's why when, by the
39:45
way, spoiler the game came out like five years ago, sue me.
39:51
When Darth Vader appears at the end of Jedi Survivor or falling Overder, what
39:53
happens, the entire world flipped the fuck out aways in a for two minutes.
40:02
The entire planet freaked out because it was one of those things like less
40:07
is more, but it's like, oh, hey, we're not gonna shove
40:08
this down your throat. And AD's a problem with lowd of the rings like
40:10
if you watch the Amazon show, Oh yeah, that's uh, that's not
40:16
there's there's other things wrong with it. There's other things wrong with it.
40:20
There's a reason, there's a reason we didn't do a sort of review for
40:23
I was literally just about to say, like I was trying to think,
40:27
did we do we did not. I'm like, I think I think we
40:32
texted a bit about it. Yeah, not doing it by time. But
40:38
and now apparently they're trying to course correct and make the show different but also
40:44
more intriguing, and the problem with Star was like like, and that's why
40:47
everone's so hyper show, because it's like it's something completely different. It's something
40:51
out of the walm. It's weird. It's not We're not gonna be like
40:52
like if anything I enjoyed, like obviously okay, spoiler, yes, yodamate.
40:58
It came out the end shocking. The guy who's six thousand years old
41:01
when he dies makes a cameo when he's five thousand years old or five thousand,
41:06
nine hundred years old. Shocking. But the problem was, I can't
41:09
tell you I lost count the thing. I hate it, and I get
41:13
why they did it. I get why they did it when all these book
41:15
up conn with the jetting go one of the days days one of these jets
41:19
and overpower all of you and take over everything. We heard it five times.
41:23
Yeah, the repetition, like it's one of those little things like we're
41:28
men're referencing man again. It's like, we know, stop and here's the
41:32
thing, Like it's been proven like that just doing political shit in shows,
41:37
which is funny. Now if anything was kind of foreshoting with us about politics
41:39
doing the political shit in shows. It can't work, Okay, people,
41:44
I know people who think that like the show of Sopranos is just a show
41:46
where people are getting whacked every fucking episode. It's not, if anything,
41:51
it was a big fucking deal. I think it was only like seven people.
41:54
If so, you think like ten seasons seven people, it's not a
41:58
lot. I think Tony only killed six people the entire show, which is
42:04
in sane he killed them, like yeah, but you know what, like
42:06
look at fucking John Wick. He does that, and he does that when
42:07
he sneezes. Yeah, he does that in half a scene, does it
42:12
in half a second. But like Zaprino only killed like six people. Otherwise
42:15
it's a bunch of like like not like bullshit, like like talking and like
42:17
arguing stuff like that. And yeah, people get whacked every now and then.
42:21
But show indor why is it so good? Because it's less is more?
42:23
And then when it's a time for a big giant hes stealing chips extravaganza,
42:30
it's fucking fantastic or mandalorian. Sure, it's more of an action paced
42:34
show where there's fights and blast toys and shit like that, but like when
42:37
you learn like why things are happening, it gets you more. I mean,
42:42
if anything, that's why I mean, other than the fact that Grogo
42:44
looked like baby Yoda in the fucking first place. That's why people got so
42:46
invested in as a little fucking baby thing, because other than the fact he's
42:49
adorable as hell, it's like, what is the point of this? Like
42:52
why are they trying to take him? And you learn the story and it
42:53
gets you more invested, but also there's no reference to fucking Luke Skywalk or
42:59
anything. Sure, yeah, he shows up later and later, way later
43:01
in the show, but guess what, because they didn't mention his name five
43:04
thousand fucking times to see him like Dervator and Fallen order. What happened?
43:10
Everyone freaked the fuck out and now here we say nothing's wrong. There was
43:15
a camera which I'll talk to you about in a second, where I'm gonna
43:20
say twenty five percent of the audience freaked out, including myself. Yeah,
43:24
I I was a friend of mine texting me who the fuck is that?
43:30
And come on? And then I literally sent him the Palpatine gift where he
43:37
looks to the left and he goes he goes like oh no ship, yeah,
43:42
fucking dog plays motherfuer come, which about I did not I expected.
43:52
I want to say, I'm not gonna say expect a Palpatine. I expected
43:53
some kind of reference because I'm like, well, let me kind of makes
43:55
sense. We're kind of like getting the know it's assist show. We're in
43:58
that timeline, but like it's as I saw the hand, I'm like,
44:00
na, they're not gonna have the balls to do it. And then then
44:05
and again, here's the thing. I'm a guy who I don't like when
44:12
and I get why places do it. I don't like when places use cameos
44:15
as a way to like try to make a show better unless it affects the
44:17
story. In this case Yoda and Plagas, it can't affect the story if
44:21
they could tune down the story. I thought it was tasteful. Yes,
44:24
and that's why I was happy, because like, even if they weren't in
44:27
this episode, I still would have liked the finale. I mean not as
44:30
much, but like I mean, obviously edded some liking I head to it,
44:35
but to me, it's just like, as much as I like the
44:38
finale, it also discrewed. To me, Oh, this is just a
44:40
giant ploy of wait for season two. When it's like, is there gonna
44:44
be a season two? They kind of have to honestly know with how they
44:49
ended. They have to Yeah, manager, they never talk about this accolite
44:53
thing again. Managine they just say, Nope, we're moving on pretty big.
44:59
What's the word? Oh, what do you call it? When you
45:02
end a season with a Cliffhainder? Pretty big? I literally want to say,
45:06
what's what's the cliff Fader called pretty hid? Cliff Fader? At the
45:07
end of you go gee, I wonder what they're gonna do next, because
45:10
here's the thing. You can't just be like, Okay, cool, we're
45:13
gonna do this ray movie now, which takes place like two undred years after
45:15
this. It's like, what happened with plagis I, with the Twins?
45:17
We've been with everything else? What happened with the Jedi? Literally lying to
45:22
the Senate saying, uh uh yeah the Jedi. I didn't know anything wrong
45:24
here, when actually they did a lot wrong with good intentions. Yeah.
45:30
Well, my thing was, uh, what is it Minestra, Finestra the
45:37
Green Lady, Uh it is Finestra or something like that. It's gonna hold
45:42
on. I literally have it up right here, yeah, Vernestra, Yes,
45:47
Yeah, Like I was trying to figure out without looking it up.
45:52
I mean I might have to not unless you know it. Like I was
45:54
trying to figure out like who she was in the story because like the entire
45:59
time, like you knew she was powerful because of her position and how she
46:04
like never did anything, like she was always like too powerful to do anything,
46:07
that kind of thing. But then obviously she fought her padawan, which
46:15
Plague is turned or is training whatever the stranger guy. Oh yeah, yeah.
46:22
But then you know at the end when Yoda's shown and she goes master,
46:27
like it seemed like she was at the top of the Jedi order,
46:30
but then she calls Yoda Master. Like you know, I was trying to
46:35
figure out who she is, so I mean just based on like rankings again,
46:39
I guess she just would be like a senior member and then Yoda obviously
46:43
is a master, but maybe he's like the grand Master and she's just like
46:47
the highest ranking person below that. Yeah, like if anything, like what
46:51
is it is a journal which one's higher general or colonel general general? Just
46:55
Yoda's general and she's a colonel, you know what I mean? Yeah,
47:00
like you you're not gonna you're not gonna have You're not gonna have you know,
47:02
uh lieutenant or uh you know or you know, rookie. Essentially,
47:07
you know, go to the general, go hey, I have this idea.
47:09
It's like, no, you gotta you gotta, you gotta, you
47:10
gotta talk through the grape vines. You know, you gotta pass it on.
47:14
Somehow it works here, which is a little weird though, because considering
47:19
that, like essentially, like in the movies, like the Jedi councils just
47:22
everywhere and wee go talk to remember how they want. Yeah, so stage
47:28
are back one hundred years prior. But do you know the muffin Man.
47:32
No, No, like Plagus and the Stranger because like obviously the rule too,
47:42
right, right, but if you're learning, come on, dude.
47:47
But like if Stranger takes on Osha, right, then there's three. Right.
47:54
But what always happens with any with any Sith, they always turn on
47:58
each other. Yeah, so kill strangers because because it's the intention. Hm
48:02
hmm yep. Okay, we'll train you and they we're gonna go kill our
48:05
master together and then we'll take a role. I mean, that's just that's
48:07
just how it is. Them. Sith don't like each other. They don't
48:12
they don't like they don't even like each other. They don't even like themselves.
48:20
Yeah, I mean, here's the thing, the fight scenes, and
48:22
that's the thing with as obviously as time has you know, continued on like
48:27
the choreography and just not even just Star Wars, and everything's gone way better
48:30
because like you know, like watch like like I talked about it before,
48:32
there's that famous video the guy like recreated the ben Kenobi Darth Vader fight from
48:37
New Hope where you like added like you know, he added like actual like
48:40
insane lightsaber battleships in between just a little like the whethery're like they're like generally
48:47
touching their lightsaber tips for twenty minutes compared to now. But I mean,
48:54
I will say though, there were some scenes throughout the series where you could
49:04
see one of the people literally freeze in order to like let the other person
49:10
do something cool. Yeah, and that that bugged me. Yeah, there
49:15
were definitely some like pro wrestlings, it's like, all right, now,
49:17
you do your move, I'll through my mind. It was like, no,
49:20
like just do And that's the thing. There is some giant inconsistencies,
49:24
a monst words amongst like these projects because like not even okay, not even
49:35
just like just like the looks like obviously you can shoot them differently. But
49:37
it's just like if I were to give someone, if you were to show
49:43
someone a movie from Marvel, Okay, let's you know, obviously, like
49:46
you you can have Okay, let's say let's do like Guardians of the Galaxy
49:50
and uh Captain America two Couplearly different stories can require completely different like styles and
49:58
effects. However they look like they're made by the same exact people because they
50:02
are. Yeah, but with some of these Star Wars projects, it's just
50:06
like you look, it's just like quality and like camera and over with other
50:09
things, you're just like, wait, what this looks? This looks so
50:12
honestly, there's some familiarity with with like the higher production value, right,
50:16
but with with somebody Star Wars shows, there isn't and it's just like what's
50:20
going on here? Yeah, no, they gotta they gotta figure that out.
50:27
I mean, it's like, hey, it is what it is with
50:30
some of this shit, unfortunately. But like at the same time too,
50:35
it's like you guys, just here's here's the thing with Star Wars and there's
50:39
a fair argument they can make. They get criticized now because they they they're
50:44
known as like Okay, go on in and make an announcement just for you
50:46
to cancel it later on, which I assume they're trying to get away from,
50:51
which you hope they would. But yeah, it's just like it's just
50:57
patience or anything. But like the problem is, like people don't have pain,
51:00
and it's like why should we even known how much stuff? And yet
51:04
it just keeps getting canceled or it never gets made, or if it is
51:07
made, it's half assed money grow right. I mean, yeah, some
51:12
people like it, you know what I mean, Like, but it's entertaining.
51:15
But the problem is is like Star Wars is supposed to be like a
51:20
think where it's like no matter what, it's like, oh, this is
51:21
gonna be good. Yeah, but not not only that point, like that's
51:24
a great point, but also I am not texting anyone hey go watch the
51:31
show. Oh god no, it's not like it's not like wait, okay,
51:36
perfect example, How's of the Dragon? There are literally I can think
51:42
of three different occasions where you can go on social media and there's literally people
51:47
like in New York Chicago. I think mainly New York is the fame or
51:51
famous one where literally a guy is outside his apartment building in New York City,
51:55
nine o'clock at night and he's recording his building, and every single window
52:00
is open, and every single TV is on, and they're all changing colors
52:04
the exact same cloud everything to go. Why because they're all watching Thrones.
52:12
You don't hear that with Star Wars anymore. Now here's the thing. They're
52:15
going more towards going back to the theaters, which they should. That's the
52:16
bread and butter. But like the problem and this is, and this is
52:21
what Marvel's now trying to do, thankfully, is like the quality of your
52:27
Obviously, the quality of productions be different regardless of you do on TV or
52:30
a movie, no matter what that's given. But in terms of your storytelling,
52:35
that should still remain the same. Like if you're a top notch company
52:37
like a HBO, every time I turn that thing on, I know I'm
52:43
at least getting above half ass. Yeah, with some of these Star Wars
52:47
shows, you don't know anything. I like them. I like them all.
52:50
I Like I said, for me, this was the weaker of all
52:52
of them. So that's why I'm gonna have my opinion, Like kind of
52:54
like a down opinion on it. But I can also say that, like
52:58
I, I was a low disappointed with how we want to bat turned out.
53:01
But there's a lot more. There's a I liked it a lot more
53:04
than in parts I didn't dislike. I'm shock the fact that people don't talk
53:07
to the fact the fact that Darth Vader literally pulled the kid out of the
53:08
window the force and stamped his neck. Yet yet people freak out when Game
53:15
of Thrones when the first episode spoiler a kid gets pushed down the castle because
53:19
he finds some very disturbing Yes, yes, if you if you're not,
53:27
you know, I've seen the first episode, you know, think I would
53:29
so doing step brother. Yeah, I was trying to think something that would
53:38
be safe to say. Hey, like I said that Fat's really safe.
53:44
Fine here trying not to make it too obvious, but yeah, there isn't
53:49
there's there's a that's a problem with him. There's a huge inconsistency because,
53:52
for example, and Or and I'm a couple of times, and in this
53:54
show, you watch and Or, then you watch the show back to back.
53:58
It looks like two littly different shows made by two complete different companies.
54:02
And it's just like what, Yeah, it's different takes on what Star Wars
54:07
should be rather than it being Star You can't have different like styles and takes.
54:12
But like and the story, like you could really kid say, like
54:15
what what's the story of Echo? If it takes place for anything? True?
54:20
But like the story itself, here's okay, here's the problem with the
54:22
show. This is an eight This was an eight episode series that was in
54:28
mostly like what forty minutes tops. I think the longest one was like forty
54:31
four This this literally could have been two episodes. You could have done this
54:36
entire show. You could have done this show. You could have done this
54:37
show in an hour and a half movie. You could have. Yeah,
54:43
and because there were some parts on like like like there were some episodes where
54:46
it's like okay, we were like I really I don't need to know for
54:51
I don't need to know for the fifth time that what the whatever the hell
54:53
that weasel animal thing was was in the ships? We get it. I've
54:58
seen them six times. It's a little it's a little fun comedy effect.
55:00
But like the sixth time, like he appears like I have a corner.
55:02
It's like, okay, so I know, like we opened with our ratings.
55:09
But honestly, like once you talked about making a movie, I've been
55:15
thinking like if this was a two to our movie and they treated it like
55:21
a Star Wars movie, or like, you know, what are they doing
55:25
with the shit the Blue guy Thane the thron It's like kind of what they're
55:34
doing with like his movie where it's going to be a movie, right,
55:37
but it's going to give us the story and kind of set it up slash
55:43
connect it to the overall Star Wars universe. Like if they had done something
55:46
like that with the Alcoholite, I think that would have been a lot better
55:51
than the show. And I truly believe that, you know, we would
55:58
have kept the cool say scenes and probably even maybe honed up some of the
56:04
the issues we were talking about earlier. But also I feel like the dialogue
56:07
and just the connectivity within that story would have been more congruent, and then
56:15
they probably would would have been able to kind of connect it to the greater
56:17
Star Wars universal a little better as well, with you know those cameos or
56:22
with like maybe slightly more eluding to like the tastefully eluding rather than you know,
56:31
like you said name bombing here. Yeah, like again, like they
56:36
showing Darth players should be like that. They're like people didn't freak out,
56:38
Like that should be a bigger deal than it's it's been. I was literally
56:44
eating for that scene and I almost missed it because I looked down to grab
56:47
my food. Well because again it's like five seconds. Yeah, but like
56:52
it's one of those things where like again I hate to say, it's like
56:54
a suit like I was just like because I was like, all right,
56:59
like I'm thinking, like, okay, are they in the show? Like
57:00
where are they gonna go with the twins because obviously they're going to We're going
57:05
to the big final battles scene. And it was like darth Plagus came.
57:07
I'm like, you know, we can do a season two Yeah there it
57:12
is, Yeah, like you can. I guess, I guess you can
57:15
come over. I guess, yeah you don't. Let's sprinkle a little bit
57:20
of Yoda too, a little little green guy. Yea. Anyway, all
57:24
right, so no, and here's the last thing we'll say, because then
57:30
I appreciate you coming on a little bit later your time. They are making
57:37
a focus back on the movie theaters, which is good because movie theater industry
57:42
is booming. I don't, you don't, you don't. Like again,
57:45
there's a reason that why I think it's it's a twenty twenty five or IM
57:49
pretty sure it's twenty six. Like I know I've joked about here that there's
57:53
no ideas and how anymore because now they're doing like a Shrek, they're doing
57:55
Truck five, Toy Story five. But I'm like, m there's a reason
58:00
why they're all putting these movies in the theaters is because they know they're like
58:04
a fuck load of money. But like Star Wars blonds in the theater and
58:09
like what's gonna interesting unfortunately is like they announce so many things that end up
58:13
don't go on production. It's like what does get into production? And that's
58:15
why I think again it's like I think Marble's going back to the like the
58:17
less is more quality over quantity, as I said, which is what Marvel
58:23
needs to do. Star Wars need to kind of go more with the quality
58:25
or the quantity because like the problem well here's the thing, Ah well let
58:30
me finish only finish way you can say, well, the quality right now
58:32
isn't great. You have the problem is the quantity themoditor thin gets announced that
58:36
actually comes out is fucking stupid. Okay, I give you that. No,
58:40
here's the thing. I hope these things are coming out are good.
58:44
I really do, because here's the thing we have the I think and the
58:46
next thing I've come out this year is that Skeleton Crew show, which is
58:49
supposed to be like the Star Wars version of the Goonies, and people are
58:52
like, wait, star Wars version the Goods. I don't like. I
58:54
feel like that could be fun, like you know what I mean, like
58:58
it could bear this I'm gonna say, but having like like like having a
59:00
bunch of misfit like kids trying to go steal some ship, like come on,
59:04
like that's all like every show Okay you're saying, you're saying every fucking
59:07
episode does need to be fucking Jedi. M hm. You know what,
59:10
you know, what if these fucking kids having the walk across fucking Luke Skywalker
59:14
episode? Fine, but every episode where it's like, all right, have
59:16
my lightsaber, here's the force, like we get it again. It's why
59:22
love andor that's why I love Mandalorian. There's not much Jedi shit and it's
59:28
extra cool ye right again, less is more, just get take the jet.
59:32
You know, the Jedi need to take a break, cool off,
59:35
go away, going going xil for a while, and then when we bring
59:37
you out in like five years from now for the Race Skywalker movie. Okay,
59:42
this is cool. So with me, I don't think actually get my
59:46
rating, So I will I said, this was the weakers of the shows
59:50
for me from terms of Disney Plus shows. So I will give this.
59:58
I'm gonna give this show five Sith interrupted baths out of head only if people
1:00:09
will get that. So but the Mantic, but the Mantic a fucking bath.
1:00:16
I will say, Yeah that, Uh, we're pretty lined, you
1:00:21
know, in that middle middle tier range, right, I mean like for
1:00:24
me, like the choreography, like again it was just some of the dialogue,
1:00:28
Like I honestly like hm hm to me, it was just so and
1:00:30
he was like like the episode three for me, like I was like,
1:00:36
this was not needed. I get telling the lore of where they came from.
1:00:38
I get all that, but like you could have done that in five
1:00:44
minutes. Yeah, flashbacks one flashback scene or you know holng I literally had
1:00:47
right your home loan was this episode? Was that the thirty six minute one?
1:00:52
I think it was? Yeah, honestly, Yeah, if you're making
1:00:57
a TV show that's not strictly thirty minute, it's you need to at least
1:01:01
hit forty five, right bare minimum. Yeah, I know they, like
1:01:07
I said, they need to obviously, like the biggest thing the guy figure
1:01:09
out is the writing. But also like again these episode these shows being like
1:01:15
Okay, I would rather watch an hour episode that sucks than a third twenty
1:01:21
five minut episode where I'm like, oh, here we go, it's something.
1:01:22
Oh wait, it just got started because I honestly that was a probable
1:01:27
effect. It started like some of so it started to get really good.
1:01:29
It's like oh in we're crying out. Yeah, especially when you're only released
1:01:32
in one episode a week, right, which I'm all for. I'm all
1:01:36
for one episode a week, but ye, like I'm sorry, Like like
1:01:38
literally, here's the thing. It's not just Game of Thrones HBO literal lid
1:01:44
out the blueprint. You want good television, make it an hour. Oh
1:01:47
you can't think of it, But it gives your writers time to tell a
1:01:52
story in every episode, which builds on the grad story because they're in some
1:01:57
episodes like it's sarch like like with like the third one especially like trying to
1:02:00
playing like the Twins, Like you're trying to rush an hour of story in
1:02:01
twenty minutes, but you'll show us ten minutes of credits. Yeah, oh
1:02:08
what they need credits, last thing, and then won't really get out of
1:02:12
here. If you old bitching about the song, shut up. That sounds
1:02:16
a banner. Yeah, Twins song, that's as a banner. Oh there's
1:02:22
pop music in here. What the fuck do you think they can't see?
1:02:25
This song was fucking forty five fifty years ago. Yeah, that was,
1:02:30
you know, a hot take, and now look at it, it's iconic.
1:02:34
Yeah, that song was a banner. I liked it a lot.
1:02:37
It's on my Playlist's a drude is on my playlist Because you lose, like,
1:02:38
wait till you see the credits. I'm like somebody happening to guess this.
1:02:42
Listen to the song and I'm like, okay, this isn't John or
1:02:45
Ludwig. Yes, I know the composers. I'm like, okay, Like,
1:02:49
oh, it's actually actually there's actually a pop song with words like okay,
1:02:52
I we're going on this road. And it was good. But you
1:02:55
know, if you actually listen to the lyrics, it makes sense. To
1:03:00
star about twins. What's a show about twins, Twins, Basil Twins,
