[Music] welcome to multiple
0:02
nerdgasm your destination for all things
0:07
nerdy here we are again can't get rid of us you just God you wish it could you
0:14
wish it didn't Auto download on iTunes but uh here we are again I think we're
0:19
semi behind in releasing stuff but uh rest assured there are there are many uh
0:25
many podcasts in the can so uh you're probably going to get this in a few
0:29
weeks which by then will mean all the news we just talked about will be
0:33
irrelevant that's true but look if if you're a listener and and and you're a
0:37
little disappointed that the podcasts don't come out more regularly then um you edit
0:43
them and that's all I have to say about that our listeners will complain about
0:46
pretty much anything but they'll never lift a finger to help yeah the thing
0:50
that they the listeners maybe don't understand is that that while what they
0:53
get at the end of the process you know nice to listen to and funny and hahaa
0:58
it's not all that way it doesn't start out that way does it Dan no no it
1:02
doesn't you miss out on the arguments the racist swearing uh you know the uh the
1:08
seemingly endless conversations that go round and round and lead nowhere y it's
1:13
just it's awful in fact if we released an unedited episode you would never
1:18
listen to us again rest assur we could maybe we could do that one day maybe it
1:23
could be this one day maybe it could be this all right well everyone just keep
1:25
it tight keep it together don't make any racist slurs and maybe we can can yep in
1:31
all fairness Dan you're the one who's only making the races
1:35
slow look you getting
1:40
you all right two minutes in and we're uh we're already hitting racial
1:44
slows so uh without further Ado uh Matt do you want to kick us off with some
1:48
news buddy well there's an urban legend uh about a game called ET for the Atari
1:54
2600 that I remember it well I remember it well yeah well it it's notoriously
2:01
the worst game ever made it was developed in a very very short period
2:05
and rushed and um the guys famously said the guy who designed it said I I I
2:11
did my best did he have like two weeks I that's the quote on
2:18
game the game I did my best yeah it's just not good enough they also do
2:24
something crazy like they made more copies than there were consoles yeah cuz
2:28
they thought they were going to a [ __ ] T of new consoles but they didn't
2:34
so what did they do with them what did they do with all these cartridges that
2:37
they couldn't sell well the legend was
2:41
that um they buried them in New Mexico
2:45
in the desert in in the desert in
2:48
landfill uh 1983 I think they did this uh and it's been an urban legend of
2:55
sorts although I mean there must have been someone that knew like that it was
3:00
true so they could have well I are you more than willing to advertise your your
3:05
professional fuckups to the world hey you know that ET thing that was all my
3:10
problem I [ __ ] ordered way too many I made a horrible mistake well 30 years on
3:16
they have they have dug them up they've dug them up who who dug them
3:23
up who did this yeah um it was a documentary that was funded by Microsoft
3:29
okay St that's going to appear on one of the Xbox One channels
3:35
right yeah well so they yeah they' they've dug them up and yes there are a
3:40
shitload of these cartridges buried in the desert that's so good and I'm
3:44
looking at some screenshots of the game now and this looks woefully [ __ ] yeah
3:50
even for 2600 I I've played it it's bad and if you fall into a pit and get stuck you
3:56
can't do anything you have to turn the game off like that's it that's great you
4:00
don't die you just that's back in the day where there's no checkpoints there's
4:04
no going back it's oh can I read a quote from uh the designer please
4:09
do uh he's now a psychotherapist FYI right so I've been carrying right I've
4:14
been carrying this thing the theoretically worst video game of all
4:18
time for 30 years now it was a game that was done in 5 weeks it was a very brief
4:24
development I did the best that I could and that's okay a
4:30
giving himself a little hat on the back look has somebody done an emulator of
4:34
this is there somewhere I can play it yeah dude you can get a00 M anywhere and
4:39
uh just download the ROM great it's got a cool roms.com and uh download
4:46
away this was sort of the first game first movie timeing game ever and it
4:50
really set the trend for every movie timeing game after that didn't it it
4:54
really did it really really did uh with the exception of some very few commodor
5:00
64 games like the Batman uh game uh that was a great game it was awesome it was
5:07
[ __ ] awesome uh there have been very very few uh movie to video game
5:11
conversions that have been even remotely decent uh it's uh it's unfortunate thing
5:16
but uh usually they are rushed uh to meet the film um and they end up being
5:21
universally terrible so um they found sometimes actually keep plots secret
5:26
from even the people making the game and it's pretty obvious you know what that
5:31
actually makes a lot of sense Luke because there's quite a few movie tie-in
5:35
games that I used to have for the omiga 500 that that would explain a
5:41
lot no no I used to wonder as a kid like why isn't this more like the film oh
5:47
right yeah and that's probably it with this actually some Lucas film games uh
5:53
like the Indiana Jones games which weren't really based on the movies more
5:57
just based on the characters the UN verely terrible I mean they're just
6:02
awful um just awful it's it's like a running joke in the video game industry
6:07
now it's like h no surprise the game sucks like yeah it's well it's like the
6:11
new the new Spider-Man game that came out for the um Amazing Spider-Man 2
6:17
there's these suck I've seen some hilarious animated
6:22
Gifts of of just Spider-Man just stuck in a fire hydrant spinning
6:27
uncontrollably and like apparently it's almost unplayable wow that's bad y
6:34
that's bad so they they found these cartridges seemingly probably quite a
6:38
few of them uh in the landfill um and they've dug them up uh and uh they're
6:43
just basically had to show that hey this is not an urban legend this actually
6:46
happened yep which is pretty cool actually buy one of
6:50
these let I bet they still work those are T cartridges are [ __ ] hardcore
6:55
too are they selling them yeah everyone who worked on the crew is going to get
6:58
one and then they're going to auction off the rest God [ __ ] oh I guess that's
7:04
pretty funny I could dust off my Atari dust it off these games are a
7:10
couple filthy fil they came from a landfill
7:17
take it in for some vaccination before you insert this cartridge bet it still
7:21
works in Mexico bet it still works yeah yeah I'm surprised the groundwater
7:26
didn't get to them they just they're looking pretty good Nick maybe they was
7:29
still packaged um one thing a lot of people are also claiming that this is a
7:35
hoax oh really they yep that they weren't really there and I think um
7:41
Major Nelson Larry yeah he was there there's a photo of him at the site and
7:46
because he's got wearing one of the hard hats it just looks like it's been
7:49
photoshopped on M Nelson yeah dream of
7:54
Genie know from Microsoft yeah right I maybe his name his charact
8:00
handle is based on that it might be I never knew where his handle came from
8:04
yeah no I didn't either until you said that and then that makes sense though
8:08
yeah I'm trying to find this picture of him I yeah oh yeah I'm trying to find it
8:14
myself yeah that that does look photosho it's just because it's so high up on his
8:18
head yeah it does it looks stupid that's just a man who's never
8:23
done physical labor in his life and that's why it doesn't suit him I think
8:27
yeah there's several no there pictur yeah oh wow
8:32
okay well I want to play it now well you'll get your chance for about one
8:37
minut been five minutes after this uh podcast and uh you can get yourself a
8:43
emulator in the room FY it's terrible You'll Play for 30
8:47
seconds and go I can't I just can't I just can't what have I done yeah while
8:52
we're on the topic of Amazon H I read a funny story this week
8:59
um when I found out that the author of The Vampire Diaries has started writing her own fan
9:05
fiction as it a joke no does that does it count if it's her own her own
9:12
property well it isn't her own property and that's the point of the story so
9:17
basically the uh The Vampire Diaries uh bunch of novels from when Matt you like
9:24
these don't you early 90s I think they're I think they're from the early '90s maybe late
9:30
so um basically the author LJ Smith didn't conceptualize uh this series of books
9:37
what happened was a publisher commissioned her to write
9:42
three books with a brief of make and rice for
9:47
kids and so she went away she wrote um
9:52
the three novels and they were published and she was paid under a work for hire
9:57
contract which is basically she doesn't own the copyright she doesn't own any
10:03
licensing rights and she doesn't own the property because got [ __ ] she just
10:08
work for hire um now that kind of deal happens quite a lot in the industry
10:14
except that when it happens usually it's happened under strict negotiations with
10:21
agents and um you know those kind of things require quite a big fee if you're
10:26
officially giving up your extended rights yeah but she was just an emerging artist
10:32
and nobody thought this was going to go Gang Busters like it did right or but
10:37
didn't it didn't 20 years later own show and now everybody's gone back and
10:40
reading them um but well you would be furious yeah and I'm sure she is after
10:46
she wrote the initial three um they just got their team of writers to write the
10:50
rest of the books so all the other books are just written by a miscellaneous host
10:55
of Staff writers amazong now have a feature where
11:00
you can self-publish
11:03
fanfiction and um right right and get get the money from it if anybody decides
11:10
to download is that only if Amazon owns the rights to yes I would assume so
11:15
because otherwise that would just be illegal yeah so but yeah it would have
11:18
to be properties that that Amazon have purchased um certain copyrights for yeah
11:24
but why you would want to buy anyone else's fan fiction I don't know except
11:27
that TJ Smith author of the
11:32
original Vampire Diaries novels has taken that as an opportunity to continue
11:37
writing her stories so if you want you can go on to
11:43
Amazon and buy the official unofficial
11:47
offire di Vampire Diaries right huh
11:51
that's interesting that's hilarious it's also a little sad though yeah coming is
11:58
absolutely no surpr W to anyone else uh Microsoft finally realized that the
12:03
connect is in fact a piece of [ __ ] and no one wants it and they have relented
12:08
and now they're going to be selling the Xbox One Sans the device that was so
12:13
integral to the Xbox One experience so uh there you have it so does that mean I
12:19
can unplug this thing yes at some point yes it's getting patched it probably
12:23
will be an update yeah yeah coming out oh but it won't work without it oh yeah
12:28
yeah that's right it won't about it yeah there's actually talk that they might
12:31
actually be able to boost some performance now for [ __ ] sake well it
12:35
doesn't it use like 12% of the CPU or something like yeah because and because it's
12:41
always on so even though I might be playing a game I could still go Xbox
12:46
watch TV yeah yeah and it take me out of game take me to television now I know uh
12:50
I know [ __ ] Luke's being dying to hear about this DCS black shark oh we've
12:55
all been dying here we uh well I uh I had a bit of time and uh on a weekend I
13:00
I was just I thought you know what um going to play me some [ __ ] DCS black
13:04
shark got got me old joystick all plugged in configured uh took about 40
13:09
minutes um got into the game thought uh I'll just warm up with some instant
13:15
action you know just get in there um just uh fly around for a bit um get into
13:21
the game Crash to desktop oh that's weird jump back in the game load it up
13:27
again jump in
14:31
all right well on to some more interesting news I um I recently my work
14:35
just bought some Dev kits for the Ulus Rift so um uh I've been having a play
14:41
and uh can I just say until you've used
14:46
it you don't understand how [ __ ] awesome this thing is like I was playing
14:52
with some of the basic demos and it's so [ __ ] immersive it's incredible like
14:57
there were moments where I was stand up when I was on the roller coaster that if
15:02
I almost fell over like it it literally is just it's so hard to explain the
15:09
experience it's just it's so immersive that your body gets confused because
15:13
your body thinks it's moving and yet your inner ear is is not telling you
15:18
that you're moving so you just you start to just lose all sense of where you are
15:22
and what's going on it's it's just [ __ ] incredible like I cannot wait
15:27
till the consumer version this is released I almost went and just bought a
15:30
second dev kit cuz I thought I just have to have this like I just have to have it now
15:36
um and that was just the first gen dev kit so once we get our second gen ones I
15:41
God knows like [ __ ] hell I can't wait this is uh it's a game changer Maddie
15:46
it's a game changer you reckon oh yeah you reckon yeah yeah H yeah it's it's
15:51
pretty cool they did release recently someone made an Oculus Rift game where
15:57
you're in a room and you can pick up up a virtual like a Game Boy and you can
16:03
play Game Boy games on the virtual Game Boy so you play as someone playing a
16:08
game yeah yeah and you go into a room and you pick up the Game Boy and you can
16:13
play Game Boy games on it which is weird and crazy but still cool so that's
16:20
pretty cool yeah that was uh that was that was pretty awesome so uh uh I just
16:26
wish they'd [ __ ] hurry up because I just they're going miss their window if
16:29
they don't hurry up soon because you need to get people's interest in this
16:32
now they need to get people start supporting it it's is it what we've been waiting
16:36
for I think it is man I think it is I only had to play with it for an hour but
16:42
in that hour I was just like [ __ ] I it's just so immersive that I'm just I just
16:48
just picturing playing a horror game on it just [ __ ] made my back all tingle
16:53
up and I got chills just thinking about it it would just be terrifying like yeah
16:58
why I don't think I will ever be getting that to play a horror game then why is
17:02
that L I played out Outlast on the weekend oh great game I played that for 10
17:08
minutes screamed and turned it
17:13
off really good then and it was at like the very very very
17:18
first scare I walk through a door and there's just a swinging
17:23
body you couldn't dead body hanging from the ceiling and I've just no couldn't
17:28
play it you're not even oh Luke
17:33
really that's that's I was that's sad that's sad you're going to miss out on
17:38
such an amazing experience cuz you're a big scaredy cat [ __ ]
17:45
that what about it it's so scary to you I don't understand you've played
17:49
seemingly hundreds of horror games yes yeah I don't I think it's CU I did it
17:55
with the lights out headphones on yep that's how you meant to play it
17:59
I had the turtle behind me mhm and he just kept making noises that
18:06
I could sort of here and I think that was freaking me out a little bit wait
18:09
the turt your turtle's making weird noises yes cuz one of them is trying to
18:13
kill me that is true yeah confirm I can confirm that one of them is trying to
18:17
kill him right okay so that just put me on edge a little bit as well
18:23
mhm [ __ ] hell well Luke's uh Luke's never going to use Dave I played
18:29
something this week you'll be you'll be happy to hear that I gave I gave this
18:32
another go because I was um I was a little bored yesterday I was home I was
18:36
home alone and uh wanted to play a game but I didn't want to start something new
18:41
because couple of games I want to play coming out this week CU we' got
18:45
Wolfenstein coming out tomorrow and we've got uh Watch Dogs coming out next
18:50
week and so I didn't want to start something new uh and then just have to
18:54
stop so I'm like ah what have I just got sitting on here that I never really gave
18:57
a chance and then I I realized that I hadn't really played much of Far Cry
19:03
blood dragon oh yes so I jumped back in I started again and um yep played much
19:09
more of it than I ever did the first time and it's actually pretty fun
19:15
ridiculous yeah fun yes so you I just want you to get to
19:20
the part where you get to ride well yeah I definitely haven't ridden one
19:25
yet I just I just want you to see that part because it's so
19:32
spectacular so you got to finish it cuz it's only what 6 hours right yeah yeah
19:36
no I'll keep I'll keep doing I'm sure I'll get distracted
19:39
um when wolf ins sign comes out does
19:43
anyone else think that looks I saw well look I saw some of the videos and I read
19:49
an interview with one of the developers and I saw some uh twitch gameplay of it
19:54
and I thought that actually looks like yeah looks really good
20:00
like yeah it looks really [ __ ] fun um
20:05
I'm probably going to get it too yeah yeah have you guys seen the videos for
20:09
um for this game have you seen them Matt Luke no no seen a bit of gameplay for it
20:14
do yourself a favor man on the fence go go watch some twitch streams or
20:19
something of someone playing it it looks really [ __ ] fun um okay which is
20:24
strange to me cuz I thought the Wolfenstein franchise was long dead like
20:27
I think there there was two games that I never even bothered playing at the
20:31
offenstein franchise that I was just like I thought it was you know flogging
20:34
a dead horse here but um looks pretty impressive H yeah um you know what I
20:40
wasn't impressed by though that movie that had will and to foe in
20:44
it that I went and saw at the at the cinema um what what movie is that I
20:50
don't I don't even remember the name it's got a really long name and it's by
20:54
that Wes Anderson guy Hotel Grand
20:59
yeah I just I don't get his films they're always just so quirky and
21:05
offbeat I just I just I find them I'm like ah just they insist upon themselves
21:11
don't they they just you like you like
21:17
times I just I don't I don't understand why there so
21:22
universally actually so you went to the movies or were you in Italy no no no I
21:27
[ __ ] I did not pay the [ __ ] I thought it was
21:31
hilarious yeah I just H all the way through I was like they want me to like
21:37
this film they just want me to like it I mean the St is willing to F didn't say a
21:43
word you can say about any film this film wants me to hate it no no but he's
21:48
right some films don't give a [ __ ] if you like it or not you know what I mean
21:51
like the latest evil does not care if you like it it only cares if you it
21:56
really doesn't yeah yeah
22:02
whereas yeah I just I sat till the end so you know um I just
22:08
oh I I just couldn't get into we saw it saw
22:13
outside we saw it outside in the cold and it was out of sink and the wind was
22:19
blowing the screen around and I still loved it where the [ __ ] did you watch
22:25
this Africa it we went to the Moonlight Center it was good it was I I I really
22:31
enjoyed it apparently it wasn't because the [ __ ] wind was blowing the sound
22:34
was out of sink and the screen kept fling I still likeed this movie saying
22:39
right yeah same right what about uh you know you slept with my mother I thought
22:43
I was a [ __ ] [ __ ] yeah you're a
22:46
bisexual that's funny when you say
22:51
it I don't know I just I just was like H
22:56
I wanted to see um that film with Johnny Depp but apparently I was saving myself
23:02
the grief and didn't have to because apparently it's any film made after 1995
23:06
that has Johnny Depp in it is terrible that's the you know what film are you
23:10
talking about that's not hyperbole I think that is literally a safe
23:13
assumption except for the first parts of the Caribbean movie I think that
23:17
is the most boring actor in Hollywood and it's such a shame because he used to
23:22
be interesting and he used to take risks and now he's just like a director I used
23:28
used to know who just uses him in everything precisely it's like they
23:32
destroyed each other's careers yeah it's it's somebody once
23:36
described it as it's like After High School finished the nerd and The Jock
23:41
somehow became friends and just decided they didn't need anyone
23:45
else that's so true that's so true I
23:49
just oh awful just awful just trying to think Dave what movie was it in the only
23:55
one I can think of lately 22 Jump Street which is coming
24:00
out [ __ ] hell see that no it was gets the transhumanism one the one that is
24:07
about transhumanism looks amazing okay yep the one is it's um
24:13
Cronenberg isn't it I don't even know I don't know I don't we don't even know
24:17
the name of the film apparently Transcendence that's it isn't
24:21
it Transcendence yeah is it is it the Cronenberg one someone should go to that
24:26
website where they surely there's a website out there that has like a
24:29
chronological sort of you know in-depth analysis of pretty much every it's
24:34
Direct that's not
24:38
yeah is a
24:42
dop the Batman movie
24:46
Inception yeah right so uh yeah there you go even great cinematography can't save a film
24:53
apparently apparently it's ter every review I read everywhere premise sounded
24:59
great but that trailer was just boring I don't think I even made it to the end of
25:05
the trailer and I just couldn't I couldn't
25:09
handle Johnny Depp's smug voice talking
25:13
to me for a you know we're speaking of movies are we
25:19
going to talk about Batman oh yeah so we've seen him right you've all seen
25:25
him I think it looks pretty cool
25:30
no I I actually don't think that Christian bal's Batman looked all that
25:37
good as a Batman I thought it was fine yeah but I think this one looks better
25:44
no I think I think you've lit upon something Dan I think when you saw in
25:47
the Dark Knight the second one uh the
25:50
the suit in in light it looked [ __ ]
25:54
ridiculous like it looked stupid so I don't know I've only seen one picture of
26:00
this fat man that you speak of he's big isn't he he's a bulky bulk of a man I I
26:06
I think that works I think that works for Batman I mean the man's a thug but
26:10
he I think he looks fat like I actually honestly think he look and everyone at
26:13
work said I was crazy I'm like he just looks fat and now apparently there's
26:18
like a joke on the internet about fat man like so I'm not the only one
26:22
obviously um there's also rumors cuz obviously this picture is in black and
26:26
white but there's rumors that this this Oh I thought you me picture is in the
26:32
midor this photograph is in black and white um so people are speculating as to
26:39
whether this suit is actually in Blue and Gray and I would love that I would
26:45
love a blue and gray Batman I have heard that rumor well um as in like the the
26:50
cartoon series cuz the even the symbol looks very like the cartoon series
26:55
symbol so I don't know maybe and especially since he's going next to
26:59
Superman I think an oldfashioned blue and gay Batman would be
27:03
great but looking at this suit it looks like Superman suit yeah you mean the
27:09
texture and everything yeah yeah which doesn't make much sense within his own
27:14
world that he's created and also Man of Steel I thought was pretty shitty so I
27:20
don't know I don't know [ __ ] awful there's a Batmobile I left the
27:27
cinema I don't know how the movie ends there's a Batmobile there in the
27:32
background I love that casual statement from M there's a Batmobile there in the
27:38
background I can see it there they've tried to hide it by putting you in front
27:41
try to distract but I've spotted it yeah I've spotted it and it looks like again
27:46
it looks like it I don't know it just all looks like Man of Steel stuff and so
27:53
I'm just a bit not excited look I'm more I I'll say it again though I still think
27:57
even in this little bit that I can see of it this looks better than the
28:01
previous Batmobile I was so disappointed by the Batmobile or lack thereof in the
28:07
noan Batman well for starters it explodes into a into a [ __ ]
28:11
motorbike doesn't explode into a motorbike stop it yeah but bring bring
28:16
back a classic Batmobile that doesn't explode into a motorbike that's common
28:21
sense Common Sense speaking of not fantastic and just for effort did uh did
28:26
anyone see Carrie who saw I saw Carrie did you saw I watched it on
28:32
um on the cruise ship actually oh um Matt on a cruise ship what has this woman done to
28:38
you hey it was fun man I bet it was I've always wanted to go on a cruise you
28:43
should I recommend it I won't all
28:47
right cuz [ __ ] you man I just won't what if I don't like it where am I
28:53
going to go you don't think Beck would like you to take on a cruise well I just
28:57
don't know but what if what you get a lot of points for that I know
29:00
but what if I hate it and I'm just I'm stuck on it I'm stuck on the boat I
29:05
think something as fundamentally fun as that even you would have to enjoy yeah
29:11
you don't have you can just do whatever you want I could just get drunk the
29:14
whole time time you're on there you could yes and someone would just have to
29:19
clean up after you well this that's usually what happens when he gets drunk anyway
29:25
yeah well it wouldn't have to be one of us for a I can attest to that first hand
29:30
yeah um Dave NOS exactly what I'm yes I
29:34
do yes I I asked them this might interest you then I asked them what they
29:39
do with people who get a bit too drunk and are uh Troublesome we throw them
29:43
overboard no they um they confine you to your cabin with a security guard and
29:47
then when they stop at the next Port they throw you off what if you're like
29:51
in French Polynesia and you have no passport uh well you would have your
29:55
passport because you would be on the ship and they would put you off with it
29:59
and then arrange for you to be sent back home at your expense oh that's kind of
30:04
or live in French Polynesia exactly yeah [ __ ] yeah which also would be nice so
30:09
either way you Dave there you go so um so Carrie someone saw carry I watch I
30:14
watch car you've seen it too Luke yeah only this podcast could focus more on
30:18
where the person was when they watched it than the actual film itself yeah
30:22
that's right yeah because our reviews never extend past yeah I liked it it was
30:26
pretty good and here's the cast is and sometimes sometimes the cast gets
30:31
a little uh little jingle sometimes they don't oh my God we mentioned will before
30:37
nothing happened Jingo Jingo Jingo Jingo [ __ ]
30:43
Jingo I know I know I know there's a the can we retrospectively do the jingle man
30:49
we always retrospectively do the jingle do the
30:52
[Laughter]
30:57
jingle all right and that was uh that was half
31:02
an hour ago so uh Carrie uh sorry Carrie
31:07
is it I thought it was car car Carri car it k e r
31:13
y [ __ ] off gee am I the only one who pronounces it that way you
31:19
say don't know now Carrie Fisher yeah how do you pronounce it Luke Carrie
31:24
Fisher really I think Carrie is like
31:28
Carrie once again old at the focusing on some minute
31:34
detail sry man that's my fault please give me a
31:40
review I didn't think it was very
31:48
good to go with you all right that's it from now on we don't even do
31:55
reviews we can hardly call these reviews
32:00
I thought it was uh it didn't do enough different Matt don't feel you need to do
32:06
any more on this review than Dave did on his Grand okay oh there are a few bits where
32:12
I giggled but mostly it was [ __ ] wanted me to like it the director wanted me to
32:16
like it she was like come on and I was like no Luke where were you when you saw
32:24
this I I was just um at my home I wasn't right special you were you mean you were
32:29
in Italy yes you were on the Piaza yeah
32:33
in the Pia now can I ask did you both watch this movie because you believe
32:38
that the young Chloe morrettes is a little bit sexy no that's not may have
32:42
had something to do with it for me who is Chloe
32:45
Moretz she's um she's K Carrie K child
32:50
actor car she's uh hit girl from um that
32:56
movie I'm and if I'm going to find out
32:58
how old she is now born
33:05
1997 there is something fundamentally
33:07
wrong with you too me I've said
33:15
no I watched it because uh he wanted to see comp CU I I don't want to do the
33:21
maths yeah she's 18 now she has to be is
33:25
she 1997 I don't think she is Marvel at how we can't do basic
33:31
math she's still 17 she's 17 right there you go so in America technically if she
33:37
came here you could do it look I didn't think I didn't think I
33:44
think they changed enough about the film it's been 20 minutes m
33:47
still I want I just want to say I didn't think they did enough to make it any
33:52
different to the original but they just kind of made it a shitty version of the
33:56
original right I find the original has dated fairly poorly I yeah I didn't
34:02
think the original was that great a movie yeah I didn't see it like I've got
34:07
no Nostalgia for the original and when I saw it as an adult I just remembered
34:12
thinking maybe obviously this was received better at the time okay well I
34:17
mean I I didn't think any of the characters were very particularly
34:20
interesting in this and there was some weird some plot stuff that was just I
34:24
don't know there's just a guy the guy in a in correct me if I'm wrong but in the
34:27
original the guy who takes it to the to the prom is in on it right yeah oh yeah
34:34
yeah yeah okay in this he's not he's just for some reason he's just so nice
34:38
that he's doing this to make her feel better oh right and so somebody does
34:42
like her yeah two people actually one girl who feels sorry for her and then
34:47
her boyfriend one girl feels sorry for her gets her boyfriend to take take her
34:50
to the prom and I don't know it's just it was just wasn't Carrie the whole
34:53
point about like how bullying creates monsters and like yeah yeah yeah this
34:58
was more like well kind of there was just one awful over-the-top [ __ ] girl
35:04
who was like ridiculously over the top and her over top boyfriend who was like
35:08
I don't know was just it all very silly well you know what's not silly and and
35:14
has been rebooted and is
35:17
amazing the television series
35:22
Cosmos what they've rebooted it they have
35:26
redone series by Carl Sean and they have gotten Neil deg
35:32
grassy Tyson um everyone's favorite Junior
35:37
Tyson that's the name of this podcast let me write that down Jun
35:43
Tyson um and now the interesting thing is this this uh executive producer is
35:48
Seth McFarland um of Family Guy fame um
35:53
and all Seth has done is essentially fronted the cash and Neil Dey Tyson is
35:59
so good um and the series production values are so awesome that it's it's
36:05
thoroughly enjoyable to watch it's really really really good and it's going
36:11
to inspire the next generation of young scientists it's it's that good it's hope
36:17
so well researched it's so well done the the actual CG in it is just amazing for
36:22
a television series it's [ __ ] fantastic all I've heard about it is the
36:28
maim ban boys saying that there's an episode where he gets into a tiny
36:32
spaceship and goes into a woman's vagina
36:37
yes well I'm I'm I'm in yeah that alone it doesn't it doesn't pull any
36:43
punches it doesn't fall any punch oh I was worried it wouldn't
36:48
include that but no it did yeah yeah no it's it's they skim over that aspect of
36:53
space yeah you guys have to watch it cuz it's not just about space it's about no
36:58
clearly not about biology speaking of inspiring new scientists yeah uh
37:02
Japanese company has come up with an idea of inspiring the next generation of
37:06
astronauts is this something you're going to almost sign up
37:11
for no there's a jepanes company that is going to be the first people to
37:15
advertise on the moon oh oh what are they going to what are they going to
37:20
advertise yeah what are we what are we talking here a soft drink of course it
37:24
is now we're not going to be able to see it from Earth
37:28
of course we're not it's only people on the moon that they're going to try look
37:32
don't drink that [ __ ] that you've brought with you that NASA Moon dust why
37:36
you dring of that [ __ ] that's exactly what they're doing
37:40
they are firing off I think it's only available in Japan it's if firing up in
37:46
can Will land on the moon it's going to last for 20 years and it's some soft Dr
37:51
they've got over there so you're saying they're going to litter
37:55
yes they're to fire those golf balls everywhere up there I suppose there no
37:59
different we could fight some ET cartridges up there [ __ ] you think that
38:04
was a cost effective solution that sent him to the Moon well I'm not I'm not sure
38:11
avertising that no one will see is a cost effective solution to anything
38:14
exactly I know I guess see the meaning they're like so you how many people are
38:18
we advertising what's our reach zero zero people people hm yeah what what the
38:25
last 30 years no one's been there yeah Japan is like all those people
38:30
around the moon going how many people still live on moon um none I don't think
38:36
oh oh awful never mind yep just awful H
38:41
so everyone should really watch Cosmos it's
38:46
amazing go on watch it oh yeah cool no I will everyone who's listening right now

41:38
movie there was a jingle probably was there let's insert it here yeah I don't

41:53
my notes again and I've Just Seen to gry Junior
41:59
so good so good um is it de is it
42:04
degrass or degy I thought it was degrass that's why when he saying it I couldn't stop
42:09
giggling now how do they say it on Cosmos he never says his name he never says his
42:16
name oh I'm going to Google it how do you
42:21
pronounce Neil
42:26
degress you couldn't not say
42:36
it you know on um Wikipedia how it has pronunciations but it uses this really
42:41
weird format yeah phonetics yeah but but it's not that uses the phonetic alphabet
42:47
which is different from just spelling something phonetically like it's got no
42:51
it's that's that's what phonetics is hold on oh if you highlight it it say
42:57
says you as in syrup
43:03
what are you talking not his full name just the
43:08
letters if you highlight ne's name it says you like
43:15
syrup [ __ ] are you talking about I thinking myself a hole here Jing guy
43:22
okay um R is in Ry
43:28
a as in bad I as in s the
43:34
gr the G the
43:40
the what is [Laughter]
43:46
this I'm trying to educate us here I'm not cutting any of this
43:52
out in all right if you know what it is
43:57
right in want to get back to the segment could you email Dave at
44:04
mle I'd really appreciate if someone could tell me how to pronounce his [ __ ]
44:08
name Matt ham
44:12
penis you got it yeah there you go it
44:16
works oh well no one's ever emailed me
44:21
all
44:24
right I can't honestly say I'm surprised [Music]
44:30
all right Dan take it away with Dan
44:35
sigment Yeah so basically this is I can't believe it's not a movie mhm and
44:41
uh this is in response to kind of all the uh the old properties um being
44:46
licensed and turned into new films reboots remakes and so I decided to uh
44:53
make a little segment where each week I would throw out three existing
44:57
properties to uh the rest of you and you have to decide how we're going to turn
45:03
this into a movie this could be a books games it could be uh anything really
45:08
awesome um stuff from our childhood maybe so the first one um so we've had
45:14
um you know we've had some board games be turned into uh films now Battleship
45:20
being a famous One um but I'd really like you guys to uh nut out connect for
45:26
the movie connect for the movie okay let's just take the simple premise of
45:33
Battleship and just reverse engineer that formula all right so the simple
45:38
process of Battleship was that they just replaced the the enemy team in
45:42
Battleship with aliens so I think we should probably just do the same thing
45:46
here uh I I I'm thinking the one thing that they really took from Battleship
45:51
was they had the whole like E7 they actually were able to corporate in inate
45:57
that into the movie look the connect fall I was speaking more of a spy movie
46:01
The Connect Four being that they've have to break through a code or something
46:06
they have to connect something along those wa think they've got a secret code
46:11
that it's so easy to break you have to align four colors in a row no no no
46:16
you've got to overline yourself only four people can uh can get through the
46:22
the code and of the same color you mean the same race obviously
46:27
oh I like this all right let's continue with that mat I think you're I think you and Luke
46:33
have lit upon something here let's uh let's let's Hammer this out what if it's
46:37
what if it's okay uh it's it is like a spy kind of film and there's a there's a
46:42
guy who's um he's he's got a gymnast right and he gets called in and he
46:49
doesn't know why because you know the government takes him in and they like
46:52
you the only man who can save us uh there's a bomb under the president under the
46:57
under the president and um to disarm the bomb someone needs to to solve this
47:04
puzzle here uh we've got our we've got our three best gymnasts on the case but
47:10
um we need four we need four and you're the only man who can do it and so they
47:14
have to um arrange themselves in the correct position to uh to free the
47:20
presid and it has to be a few different positions with a certain time frame so
47:24
yeah well the dial spins right and they've got they've got like I don't
47:28
know what how long do you you're integrating twister into this is this
47:30
this is what's happening now you know what I am cuz I've gotten the two
47:35
confused think a twister yeah I'm thinking a twister wait you got twister
47:39
confus four I literally did yeah that
47:43
makesense let's re It Anyway let's
47:48
just look tell you what let's just do that idea but they're naked and it's a
47:52
porno yeah bestseller done all right uh we'll move on second intellectual
47:58
property today is a book um books get changed into movies all the time it's
48:03
probably the oldest uh reference source for film scripts I'd say um so this time
48:09
I'd like you guys to nut out advanced Dungeons dragons book of challenges
48:13
rooms puzzles and traps the movie right oh [ __ ] there's so many they tried to
48:18
make a Dungeons and Dragons movie Once which is terrible um yeah I don't know
48:22
why they was there a cartoon series in the'80s where these guys get transported
48:26
into the world of D and D yeah yes there was why don't we just why don't we just
48:30
blatantly rip that off just rip that off while we're at it yeah yeah now they go
48:35
on a roller coaster at a theme park and then they seriously it yeah yeah they get in
48:41
a roller coaster and it transports them to
48:45
[ __ ] Dragon Land yeah yeah had nothing to do with the game as far as
48:50
I've ever played it but okay so well that's because no little dragon boys got
48:55
bled in their throats slit yeah that was the most epic game of DD
49:02
ever all right so well I mean is it going to be like an
49:07
U ball style fantasy where Dolph lren gets sent back in time uh he's a Marine
49:13

50:03
long-haired blond man yep that's do y
50:06

51:10
going to do the whole day magically transported to the land of d and d and
51:13
they have to complete um all the actual quests that are in the little quest
51:17
guide book um y uh we should throw a spanner on the works though um at some
51:22
point they lose the book um which was giving them a lot of inside information
51:26
and they have to learn how to band together despite their differences to uh overcome
51:32
adversity right that's a good that's good re I like that got a simple one two
51:37
three act structure I think we're good to go with this I've put a little link
51:41
there so you can have a look at uh want to see this picture Let's uh can we
51:43
green light this Dan yeah let's uh let's put into motion [ __ ] yes the this the
51:49
cast yeah there they are there is a [ __ ]
51:54
racist is it more RAC to include a black girl or to include a
52:01
token black girl do you know what I mean I don't even know anymore Dan it's such
52:05
a crazy world man I don't even know anymore because you always hear
52:10
complaints about ethnic Marvel characters for example oh they just
52:15
threw him in there as a token black guy and it's like yeah but what would be
52:18
more racist not having any people of color and I still don't quite know what
52:24
the answer is a probably for another podcast guess yeah I don't know I don't
52:28
