  Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, Welcome to the large Ner Drunk Collider podcast,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: the podcast that's all about the geeky things happening in
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: the world around us and how very excited we are
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: about them. I'm aerial, caston and with me all way.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Who is with me as always is the delightful Jonathan Strickland.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Don't walk Away. All you Gotta do is stay?
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Is that a reference to something?
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: It's a It's a lyric from a song called Don't
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: walk Away, which is from one of the greatest movie
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: musicals of all time. I'm talking about Xana Do.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I've never seen it.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: I an ironically love Xana Do, and I call it
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: one of the greatest movie musicals of all time. That
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: is ironic it is. It is a cheesy, corny movie.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: It's Gene Kelly's last film. Olivia Newton John is in it.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Is it Starlight Express in the Australian Desert?
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: No? No, it's not set in Australia at all. Oh okay,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Olivia Newton John is Australian, but she is in this
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: She's not Australia. And she's a muse like a Greek muse.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: And great film from nineteen eighty Great in quotes. I
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: guess I love it onironically, but I recognize that it
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: is a cheesy film and that nostalgia probably plays a
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: huge part in this. But Electric Light Orchestra did a
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: lot of the music for the movie. And the reason
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: why it's even on my mind at all is I
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: was watching an old interview that had a Pedro and
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Bella from the Last of Us having a little conversation.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: This was from when they were doing season one, so
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: this was a few years ago, and the question that
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: was posed to the two of them was if your
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: friendship was a song, what would it be? And immediately
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Bella was like, Xanna do all that's.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Delightful because Bella's you know, at least gen Z, maybe
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Jen Alpha, probably gen Z. I don't know their age.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Apparently they picked it up from Pedro, who genuinely
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: loves the song, and they revealed that when Pedro got
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: a new phone, Pedro texted Bella and said, this is
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Pedro and to prove it, sent a link to Xana.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Do I like the music the song? Xana do on
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: like YouTube or something.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Based off of his I was about to say, you know,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: that seems like his mo O, but yeah, I don't
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: know him. So that's based off of what Pedro Pascal
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: puts out into the public that at least fits his
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: public persona well.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: And he's he's a general excerpt, right, So he and
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: I are are very close, very close. Oh yes, he is.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: He and I are very close in age. We're like,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: we're very close in age. And so I'm like, well,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: of course he loves Xana do He was the right
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: age to fall in love with such a cheesy movie,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: as was I, And so yeah, I was like, oh,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: that totally makes sense to me.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: There's this weird like mi asthma that happens to me
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: with gen X, Millennial and gen Z. And I don't
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: know if it's just because of like the verbal mash at,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: like shipping mashups we've given to them, like Zenial and
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Zenial which sound very similar, but the three generations kind
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: of run together for me. And maybe it's because I'm
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I'm in the theater world and I have friends across
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: friends and peers across a broad spectrum of age rages,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: and because we're peers that it only really shows up
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: when you're talking about like pop culture stuff that someone
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: doesn't know.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean for me, like most of my friends
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: are millennials.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: So cause you're young at heart.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: I'm young at heart.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: But the problem is that also young, Jonathan. I'm not
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: gonna let you click Letya.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: I turned fifty this year.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Sixty is the new forty. You're fine, So you're like
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: the new thirty.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, considering that almost died last year, It's
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: it's gonna take a while for me to feel young,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: I think. But yeah. The the thing that always strikes
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: me is when my friends start to reference something that
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: was big in their childhoods. Often it's something that either
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: I have not experienced or just doesn't mean the same
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: thing to me because I was too old when it
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: came out for me to have that connection. So here's
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: an example. This is something I actually have seen and
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: I do enjoy, but I don't feel a great connection
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: to it. The Goofy movie. That's something that my millennial
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: friends are or Newsi's two things that my millennial friends
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: think are really cool and I'm like, totally missed me.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: They they definitely like those are pivotal in my childhood,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: and not just because I had a crush on Christian
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Bale at the time, or because he played Jack and
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Newsi's and he also played Laurie and Little Women, so
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: like you know, that's gone by the wayside. But also,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: oh gosh, what's his name? I used to have a
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: crush on Jason Marsden, Not James Marston or James Marster's,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: but Jason Marsden.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: The guy who did the voice for of Matt Mafee's
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: son Matt.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because I mean he was also in like Full
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: House and stuff like that, and a super cutie. I
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: used to have a thing for.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say short kings, but I don't think
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: that's it. I used to have a thing for short guys,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: and I think he short.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: That explains why you got you had a crush on
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: my character at the Renaissance Fair, not me, y'all. Ariel
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: didn't have a crush on me. She had a crush
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: on my character, which I think is important to have
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: the distinguishing feature there. And it was just it was
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: just because my character was such a goofy Disney villain
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: type character.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's this thing that and I've done it too,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: where when you're playing a character, you have a level
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: of confidence and I'm not saying that you, Jonathan, do
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: not have a level of confidence. But I've noticed this
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: that characters that actors play, especially in things like the
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: improv theater and stuff like that like Renfest, tend to
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: have a charisma about them because you have a level
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: of confidence because you can be bold and you don't
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: have to worry about the consequences.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Well yeah, and if you get rejected, it's not you
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: that got rejected, it's the character that got like. It's
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: it's a it's a security blanket. And it's same thing
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: that we see at Halloween, right, like, yeah, you, Halloween
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: is like the amateur you hear about people who drink
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: a lot saying like Saint Patrick's Day is amateur hour.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: That's what actors look at Halloween as because it's where
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: everybody puts on a costume and they get to pretend
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: to be something that they're not. It gives them an
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: extra layer of confidence. And actors mean while going like yeah,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: this is me all the time, but.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Don't sell yourself short, Jonathan, you are a cute e patuity,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: So thank you.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: I appreciate that. Yeah, it was anyway, The point being
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: that I feel at Pedro Pascal a lot of like
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: his qualities that I have at least observed. Now granted,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: I've of course, only observed what he has presented to
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: various forms of media. I don't know him personally, obviously,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: but the stuff that he's presented, I'm like, I get
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: the feeling that Pedro and I would get along pretty well,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Like like we'd have a laugh, it would be pretty fun.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Not that I think that would ever happen, just that
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: I feel like the energy he gives off and the
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: stuff that he seems to like it's very much in
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: alignment with kind of my personality and the things that
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: I like, which is just cool. I know, I'm not
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: saying I'm ever going to meet Peedlo Pascal. I'm not
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: going to say that I even would desire for that
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: to happen. The man is very busy. Just it's just
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: nice to think about, Like when you see someone that
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: who's work you admire and then you figure, oh, this
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: actually seems like a person that I would genuinely like
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: it in a you know, if we were hanging out
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: in the real world at the same time. That's just cool.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, but you never know it could happen one.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Day, Yeah, you never know. I mean I occasionally do
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: conventions and stuff, and I mean I did see him
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: on Broadway before I even knew who he was what
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: he was in king Lear. He played Edmund, the bad guy,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: one of the big guys in king Lear, and he
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: was great. Nice.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: I just saw an interview with the person that I
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: know from Community Theater where we are, who's on Broadway,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: who I talk about all the time, Andrew Durand, talking
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: about his Dead Outlaw experience because that's going to Broadway now.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it just it just opened.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's a lot of fun. It's a lot
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: of fun to hear him talk about it because for
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: the first half he's alive and apparently he's playing Edwin McCurdy,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: who actually does have like an IMDb page, and the
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: second So the first half he apparently in this interview,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: he does a whole bunch of singing back to back
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: to back to back to back, and then the second
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: half he's dead and like he has to like figure
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: out when people are passing him so he can blink
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: on stage. He talked about and things like that. I'm like,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: why aren't you playing dead with your eyes closed?
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I think he's I think he's actually propped
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: up in a coffin. Yeah, on stage. Yeah, I actually
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: saw so. I One of the subreddits that I subscribe
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: to is the Broadway subreddit, and there's a current discussion
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: on there of people hoping beyond hope that they do
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: a cast album for that show because they love the
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: music so much.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's getting really good reviews and it just looks fun.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: It's like a wild West. I don't know it's based
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: on a true story, but Wildless Weekend at Bernie's. To me,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: I would like to get up and see it. I
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: don't know if I'll be able to during the run,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: even if my friend weren't in it, because we aren't.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: You know, we aren't that close. We did community theater
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: together years ago when we were both teenagers, and we're
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Facebook friends now, but we aren't like super close. I'm
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: more close with our mutual friends than I am with him.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: But sure, I.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Would still like to support him because he's a phenomenal performer.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: I would want to see the show anyhow, because it
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: just looks like it's a.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Lot of fun. Yeah. Now that's on my list, along
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: with like Operation Min's Meet and Oh Mary. There are
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: like a few shows up in Broadway plays and musicals,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: you know, John Proctor is the Villain is another one.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: There are a few shows that I really would like
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: to see, And there's something to be said, like, I've
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: only ever seen one show with the original cast. Everything
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: else I've seen, you know, people have been replaced or whatever.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: But there is something kind of special about seeing a
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: show with the at least the original like Broadway cast.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Sometimes by the time a show makes it to Broadway,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: it's a totally different cast than what was you know,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: in development or whatever.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but when it's in development, those people have such
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: a connection with the material because they've worked on it for.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: So long that right, and they've they've been usually been
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: through like evolutions of it too, like they've been you know,
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: if they've been with the production long enough, they'd be like, yeah,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: this barely resembles what we started off with.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I really enjoyed back when I was on my
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: not that I am not still on a beatle Juice
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: the musical Kick, but now that I've seen both the
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Broadway with some of the original cast and the touring,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: like I can ease off my excitement a little bit,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: But I really enjoyed watching them through all the work
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: shopping of it as well.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: So yeah, Well, speaking of watching stuff, let's talk about
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: some of the things we've seen since the last time
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: we recorded an episode.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Awesome. I haven't watched much, neither of I. I finished
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: the current season of Harley Quinn Cool. I watched the
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: first half of the first episode of the new season
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: of Doctor Who You Go? Why didn't you finish it?
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Because I was doing it during my workout and then
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: I've had a bunch of life stuff that has precluded
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: me from working out the past, like a couple of weeks,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: largely which I'm very upset about. So I've only watched
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: the first half, but I will watch the second half
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: probably tomorrow. I like it. I really like the new companion,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: the Doctor. I have some friends who are like, I
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: really like Judy Gatwa as the as the Doctor, but
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: he cries every episode and it kind of was bugging
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: me too. He does cry in this episode, but in
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: this episode it feels really appropriate and really warranted, So
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: I like that. Sometimes it's like I get it, but
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: you've seen so much and like he can you can
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: be an emotional doctor, but like when you've got the
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: close up on the tier. Every episode loses it's it's
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: uh poignancy.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: I guess, yeah, yeah, it's not effective.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I watch that, but I'm enjoying it so far.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: I'm playing a lot of Boulder Skate three. I just
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: got to Act three last night. I'm watching Connors and
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: I'm watching drop Out. The second episode of Game Changer
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: was not as insane as the first episode, but it
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: was still a lot of fun. And it's the kind
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: of episode I would love to be in because I'm
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: a perfectionist and I always think I can do better.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: And that's all I'll say about it, because I don'tant
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: to spoil it for people.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: I'm guessing based upon clips i've seen, this is the
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: one where let's say, does vertical jump take a Yes? Okay, yes,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: I have seen a clip from this, so I know
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: what the gimmick is. But I also will not ruin it. Okay.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: I mainly didn't want to ruin it for you, Jonathan, so.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: I appreciate it. But we have listeners out there who
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: are just as important as I am, so I do
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: not want to ruin it for them. I will say
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: that the bits I've seen are very very funny.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: They are very funny, and it's it's a weird like so,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: like Brennan has this thing he does on Game Changers,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: and I have some friends who are like they feel
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: for him because he acts like he's so upset at
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: the game, especially when like the game is kind of
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: like a poke at Brennan, like you're so competitive, so
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: we're going to poke at that. But I do think
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: part of it is an act, and this episode really
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: clinched that for me, because he started off kind of like, oh,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: you're so proud of yourself, Sam, and then genuinely had
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: fun and went through all of these different states of
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: being in the episode.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Now, I figure like there's at least there. I think
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: of it the same way I think of like what
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: a lot of pro wrestlers said about their personas is
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: that you know, the personas that worked best for them
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: was a version of themselves but then dialed way up,
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: like intensified. And I feel that that's kind of similar
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: to the persona Brennan has on these Like there's some
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: there's definitely truth to it, that's not the core, but
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: it's it's emphasized. I think, well, I watched I finished
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: season three of Harley Quinn, so I'm still well behind,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: but I did finish because the last episode of season
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: three was like a forty minute long Valentine's Day special,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: so that took a while for me to get through,
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: and then I watched I finished Mythic Quest, and I
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: have lots of thoughts and feelings about it, because of
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: course Mythic Quest was canceled, so they weren't. They had
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: planned on doing a fifth season. The original ending of
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: season four was a cliffhanger. Then Max canceled the or
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Apple TV rather canceled the series. I can never keep
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: straight what series is on which streaming service, but their
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: series got canceled, but they were given the opportunity to
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: re edit the episode to give it more of a
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: conclusive ending, although I think they were only partly successful
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: in doing that, and that unfortunately, there are just a
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: lot of loose ends that it would have been impossible
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: to tie up even with a re edit, and unless
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: they just cut that section entirely, then the episode would
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: have been five minutes long. So that's really unfortunate because
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: I feel like a lot of the stuff I wanted
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: to know more about I never will know more about.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Because it got canceled, and I feel that the ending,
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: while it doesn't have a cliffhanger anymore, it's also not
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: a very satisfying ending. So I think they were just
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: in a super tight spot where there was no good solution,
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: and it's unfortunate because I really I continue to enjoy
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: the show. I know some fans felt the first two
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: seasons were really strong and they didn't care for seasons
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: three or four. I actually liked all the different seasons.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: I liked how the show could have hit some pretty
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: emotional spots and even have like episodes where comedy is
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: taking a back seat and it's really much more about
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: telling a very emotional story. So I really much enjoyed
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: the series. I wish it could have gotten another season
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: to conclude kind of on you know, going into it
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: knowing that this is going to be the final season,
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: because they could have paid off all those different setups.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: There was also one setup that I swear I saw
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: it and I was like, oh man, when that pays off,
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: it's going to be huge. This is gonna be it's
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: gonna be a lot to this one character. It's going
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: to be really dramatic, and nothing ever happens of it,
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: and that was something that I felt was a missed
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: opportunity because it was something that happened earlier in the season,
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: and so they could have paid it off by the
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: last episode and there was no reason for it to
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: continue on to become a season five thing, Like if
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: they did that, chances are they would drop it anyway.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: And I was like, what a terrible missed opportunity because
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: this would have been a dramatic character development element. That
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: being said, I still think it's worth watching. So as
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: much as I have issues with the final season of
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Mythic Quest, I think it's something that if you are
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: a fan of the show, you should go ahead and watch.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: And then I watched the beginning of like maybe even
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: the first third of Companion, that's the movie with Jack
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: Quaid in it, where he has a like the trailer
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: gives way, and I kind of regret that because as
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: I was watching it, I was like, wait, did I
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: mix this up with a different movie, because this doesn't
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: seem to be the thing I thought it was, And
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: then ultimately like, oh, no, it is the thing I
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: thought it was, But boy, wouldn't it have been better
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: for me to find out just by watching the movie
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: and not having seen the trailer at all.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: But would you have watched the movie if that hadn't
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: been included in the trailer.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know, but I told my partner.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: I told Beca. I was like, I think you would
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: like this, which is that's why I stopped watching it.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: I didn't stop watching it because I didn't like it.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: I actually quite liked it.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: That was my question.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: Next question, Yeah, I want to watch it with her.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: So I want to sit down with Becca and be
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: able to watch the whole thing from start to finish.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: And so that's why I stopped it. Was I mean,
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: I got pretty decent, a pretty decent amount into the
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: series or into the movie, but I don't think I
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: quite I don't think I got halfway. But yeah, I
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: will watch it. I'm just gonna watch it with her
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: because I think she would enjoy it too. A lot
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: of the stuff I watch I don't think would really
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: be her style, like her vibe, but this I was like,
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: oh no, I think she would enjoy this. Like she'd
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: get mad at parts, but those are the parts that
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: are designed for you to get mad at.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, A couple other things on our list today I
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: actually sent to my husband because I was like, I
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: think you might enjoy watching this. There's one thing that
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: I haven't watched that I am watching this weekend. I'm
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: going to go see Sinners Awesome.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's still on my list of things to see.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: I get it consistently gets great reviews, and I definitely
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: would love to see that too.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Like, so it doesn't get it's not like one hundred
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: percent positive reviews, and the negative reviews people tend to
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: think it's a little slow paced and boring and maybe
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: doesn't hit its moral well enough. But the yeah, the
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: fact that it's still ninety seven ninety eight fresh after
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: what one and a half two weeks is unheard of
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: for a monster movie.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Really Yeah, yeah, Well I love when I when we
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: discover stuff that our partners will also kind of vibe with,
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: especially if it's something that you know, we can share
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: with them, because you and I have both had the
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: experience of finding stuff where we're like, well, I really
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: want to see this, but it's not really their thing,
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: so I guess I'll just do it on my own.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: And there's nothing wrong with the time or yeah, or yeah,
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: if you're like me and Becca. You're like, let's let's
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: put it in our calendars when we're both at home
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: at the same time. Yeah, yeah, Well, let's let's move
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: on and talk about some quick news items in our
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: thirty seconds or less. And I forget did I put
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: myself first?
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: You did?
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: Okay, Well, let's get going. Then. The Academy of Motion Pictures,
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Arts and Sciences has adopted new voting rules for the Oscars.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: So earlier members of the Academy were merely encouraged to
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: watch all the works nominated in whatever category they were considering.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Now they are technically required to do that sort of.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's not like someone's going to be standing
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: over their shoulder making sure they watch everything. But in theory,
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: this is a good thing.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Something I don't know if it is so good. If
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: it's your thing, I'm sorry, I'm about to rain on it.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Sidney Sweeney and Michael Bay are making a movie version
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: of the nineteen eighty six game Outrun, which it sounds
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: I've never played, but sounds like the boring version of
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Crazy Taxi because you're just avoiding traffic and trying to
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: get to a destination before the clock runs out. So
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: you're running late for work. They haven't shared the details
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: of the script or of the plot yet, and that's
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: probably because the plot of the game is, to me
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: not that exciting.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's you could argue non existing. It's essentially a
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: racing game, all right. Anyway, Scream came back. I know
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: what you did last summer is coming back. So what
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: other nineties horror movies are due for a comeback? Well,
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: how about Urban Legends, which originally starred folks like Jared Leedo,
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Michael Rosenbaum, and Tara Reid. Sony thinks it's time for
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: Urban Legends to return, and so it's in early development
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: with Chanra Wakefield writing the screen link. So what's next?
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: The faculty? Please please make the faculty again.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: I haven't watched either. So we got news that a
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: new Star Wars show is in development. Show that movie
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: checked this time, and this time it's being headed up
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: by Carlton Qes who was the showrunner for Lost in
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Bates Motel and Jack Ryan in the Stream and Damon
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Off who worked on Watchmen and The Leftovers. If they
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: mean the TV show Watchman, which I didn't check prior
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: to recording this, I am in I enjoyed Lost for
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: all of its rambliness and not best ending, and I
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: Watchman still remains one of my favorite TV shows, So
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: I'm excited to see what happens with this and where
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: it goes.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Actor Tony Todd became a beloved figure in the horror genre,
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: appearing in such movies as The Final Destination Series and
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: The Original Candy Man. Sadly, mister Todd passed away last year.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: One of his final movies, a sci fi film titled
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: The Bunker, will be coming out in the not too
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: distant future, though we don't actually have a release date yet.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: The film deals with an alien threat, mind control, and isolation.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: It also stars Tobin Bell, who's best known from the
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Saw franchise.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know who that is, uh, the show Saw franchise,
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: not to but no, I'm kidding, I know both, but anyhow,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: And Nola Holmes three is happening. Yeah. I thought Millie
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Bobby Brown outgrew it as well, but I guess the
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: character he can grow with the actor. In addition to
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Millie Bobby Brown, it's also going to have Henry Cavill
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: again and Helen and Bottom Carter. I haven't watched the
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: previous two. But I have a lot of friends that
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: like it, so we'll see.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm always a big fan of More Holmes fan fiction.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: In nineteen ninety nine, a teen comedy loosely inspired by
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew hit theaters. It was
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: titled Ten Things I Hate About You and it starred
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: folks like Keith Ledger and Julia Stiles. Now that story
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: is destined to become a stage musical with songs scored
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: by Carly Ray Call Me Maybe Jepson and Ethan Griska.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: Lena Dunham is on the writing team. Christopher Wielden will direct,
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: and I am genuinely curious about this too.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: That sounds like a great team for that movie to
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: go to stage. We are getting a prequel to the
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Hunger Game series. I guess it's Cannon in the original stories.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: It's called Hunger Games, Sunrise and Reaping. I think we've
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: had other prequels. I kind of watched the first two
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Hunger Games and then fell off the boat. Anyhow. This
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: one stared as stars Joseph Zada, who will be playing
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: basically Woodie Harrelson's character from the original movies, and then
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Whitney Peak, who will be playing his girlfriend. So yeah, there's.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: That, there's that, and there's thirty seconds or less to da.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: Now we can move on to our unofficial official segment
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: about stuff what doesn't quite fit into the lineup, although
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: Ariel made an argument that one of these could have I.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Guess two of them do the very first one.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so we talk about drop Out. Ariel talk about
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Dropout a lot, and we got a trailer this week
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: about a live tour that Dropout is doing, So if
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: you happen to be in the western or midwestern US,
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: you might have an opportunity to catch them live. Yeah.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: I think the closest they're coming to US is Kentucky,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: even though every time Sam Reich posts about it on
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: social media, I'm like, please consider coming to Atlanta. You
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: would have a huge audience because I know a bazillion
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: people who watch drop Out in Atlanta and would go
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: to see improv from it. But still fun and exciting.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: I like that they are at least expanding from their
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: previous tour, so still holding.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: Out hope, and it is an improv comedy tour, so
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: it's it's not like necessarily game changers or anything. Like that,
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: although they might do.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: That it's short form improv.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I hope that it is a incredibly successful tour.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: I love seeing drop Out continue to do well. Like
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: it's it's a business model that people were not sure
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: about when they moved to what they do now, which
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: is that you know, primarily it's a subscription based service
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: that you can you can become part of and then
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: watch all their content and then occasionally they'll release either
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: parts of or sometimes an entire episode on other platforms
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: like YouTube. There wasn't any guarantee that that was going
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: to work. There were other services that had tried similar
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: things in the past that did not work. But so
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: far it seems to be doing well.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they are. They haven't raised prices in a long time,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: so they actually in May are raising their prices just
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: a little bit a dollar a month or ten dollars
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: for the year. But they also give absolutely they have
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: no qualms with you sharing your subscription with other people,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: so I think it's completely reasonable for them for and
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: they also believe in paying their actors and crew affair wage,
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: so reasonable and I'm fine us agreed.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: We also we got a trailer for a comedy action
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: movie called Heads of State, in which John Cena plays
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: a former action movie star turned President of the United States,
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: Idris Elba I believe, is supposed to be the Prime
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: Minister of the UK, and the two of them get
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: wrapped up in an action movie style series of events
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: where John Cena mostly shows that he is completely incapable
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: of dealing with real action movie type situations that you know, yeah,
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: he's an actor, but he's not. He's not good at
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: doing the real thing. And it looks silly, it looks.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: It looks a lot of fun. Honestly, I I think.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: I think in the trailer at least, John Cena and
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Nidris Helba have a really good chemistry and playoff, play
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: off each other's comedics dealings very well. I will I'm
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: gonna watch this one. I every once in a while
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: get a craving for like a nineties early two thousands
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: level like action movie, and this really hits hits that spot.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think this actually looks more entertained to me
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: than Jack Pott did, which actually watched. That was the
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: Aquafina John Cena film with the whole lottery subplot. Simoulu
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: in it too. I thought that movie had great actors
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: and performers in it and was just okay, this to
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: me looks like it could be fun in that nineteen
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: eighties style, over the top action movie way like the
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: Diehard era. Speaking of die Hard, we also have a
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: trailer for an action comedy movie that is obviously playing
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: off of die Hard as well as films like Bridesmaids,
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: because it's called Bridehard.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It stars Anna Camp and Rebel Wilson. Rebel Wilson,
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: thank you. I don't know why her name escape me.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: She's doing a lot of stuff recently, including the Juliet
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: and Romeo thing, Alex, this one doesn't hit me as well.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: I wasn't a huge fan of Bridesmaids, though I really
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: do like Anna Camp. I think Anna Camp is incredibly funny.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: So yeah.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: The gimmick here is that Rebel Wilson is playing a
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: secret agent slash spy type character but is also a
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: maid of honor at her friend's wedding and then has
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: to ditch on some of the maid of honor stuff
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: in order to do her spy stuff, which she obviously
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: can't talk about. And meanwhile, all of her fellow bridesmaids
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: and the bride herself are all like, why can't you
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: be there for her? She's your best friend? Why do
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: you have to be like that? And so then she
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: has to, you know, try and be the maid of
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: honor while also being a spy and Shenanigans ensue. Yeah,
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: it looks it looks silly, But this, I said, this
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: looks like it came straight out of an LLNC mashup.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: Like if we had done a mashup of Bridesmaids and Diehard,
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: this is kind of what would have happened.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: And I'm gonna be real honest, I would only actually
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: watch like twenty five percent of the mashups, right.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: I mean same Like most of the time, I use
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: the mashup as an excuse to tell a totally different
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: joke than whatever the mashup.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: Yes, that is true.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: That is true.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Oh uh reminds me jack Pot and Bridehardt and all
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: this stuff reminds me. I did watch Everything Everywhere, all
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: at once for the first time this past weekend.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Oh wow, why do you think I thought it was
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: really good?
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: It was a lot because I had heard that it
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: was very like thought provoking and moving, but it was
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: a lot funnier and fun that more funny and fun
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: than I expected.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's when you get into that last like twenty
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: minutes or so where it starts getting real heavy.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. I still am am on the fence on
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: whether Ki Hakwon makes a really good action star. But
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: he made a very good, like Bogart level suave guy.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I also kind of like him as very earnest
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: and sincere because he comes across just so sweet in
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: those things too.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, phenomenal actor. The action stuff, he's not. It's not
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: that he's bad at it, it's it's because he is
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: so sweet and sincere. It doesn't quite have that edge. Yeah,
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: but then I saw that edge in the alternate universe
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: where where MICHELLEO is playing herself and ye and he's
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: playing the mist love in an alley with a cigarette.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Like I said, Humphrey Bogart basically brilliant, brilliant, a lot
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: of fun, much like well, not anything like, but also
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: the brilliant Paddington.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: Which is a lot of fun and is brilliant, but
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: otherwise it's not much like everything everywhere ever once. Yeah,
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: so we got news this week that Paddington is being
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: and it's well into the process. It's being adapted into
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: a stage musical, which is going to be staged in
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: the West End in London later this year, I believe
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: in November, and they had a very sweet Did you
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: see the teaser trailer that was released?
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: I didn't. I missed it. Is it a Are they
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: using a puppet?
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: No? No, Apparently in the workshops it's been a child
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: in a suit. From what I hear, I have not
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: seen anything. No, the trailer isn't like, it doesn't anything
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: of the stage. It's literally a reveal of the logo
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: and then says he gets a new home in London.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: I'm like, oh so sweet. It's like, dear London, dear London,
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: please take care of this bear.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: I'll have to look that up. I don't know how
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: I feel about a kid in a bear suit.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know either, Like, and I don't know
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: if that's all they're going to keep it or not, right,
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: Like probably if they're this far along, I think it
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: would be hard to restage beyond what they've already done.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: Like if they're I mean, November is a good ways away,
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: so you could do it. But it's also dependent upon
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: how the show is written, Like is the kid also
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: voicing Paddington. I don't know.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, but like I, well, Paddington has such a
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: grown up voice to him, even though he is young.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: I don't cha. Yeah, I just don't know. I don't
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: know how they're going to go about it, like uh.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: And and also nothing I've seen has been firsthand. Everything
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: I've seen has been reports about the work.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: But you know, I didn't think I would be into
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: a Paddington movie, and they completely won me over. So
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: I'm I hope it's I hope it's awesome. Uh.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: And then one last little bit and the stuff that
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: doesn't quite fit I added it at the last second.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: I don't even know. Did you get a chance to
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: watch this?
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: I did. It felt very like Stepford Wives meets Laguna Beach.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's We're talking about a series coming out on
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: Netflix called Sirens. U has Kevin Bacon and the supporting
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: role Julianne Moore is playing a kind of a cult
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: of personality sort of figure. The idea here is that
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: there's a young woman who works for Juliane Moore who's
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: kind of like her right hand woman. Think of like
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: who was it was? It was DearS Prada well, yeah, yeah,
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: I was thinking of the other actress who in Devil
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: Wears Prada, who was like the second in command before
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: Anne Hathway comes in. Is it Emma Stone, No, Emily.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: Blunt, Emily Blunt? Yeah, I was about to say.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: But yeah, essentially it's like Emily Blunt's character, like she's
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: she's like the the the person who makes sure all
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: the stuff is going off without a hitch that Juliane
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: Moore can do her Julianne Moore thing. And then her
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: sister shows up, and her sister is very upset with
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: her because she appears to have kind of turned her
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: back on her the rest of her family. And then
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: the dawning realization that this, this julian More character is
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: kind of like a cult leader, like to all intents
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: and purposes, like it's it's not like a cult like
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: Jonestown or something, but maybe like Gwyneth Paltrow and Goop
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: that kind of cult. And yeah, it looks interesting to me,
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: and that's why I threw it on here. But it
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: doesn't quite fit the genre, like it's it's not to
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: the point of cult, to the point where it becomes
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: a genre film or genre series.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: Rather man this is Julian Moore does a really good
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: job at playing low key creepy people.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, she's well, she's just great in general. But yes,
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: I agree. Uh so, yeah, that's that's the stuff that
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: doesn't fit. But now we've got plenty of things to
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: talk about that actually fall into our lineup for realsies.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and the first thing comes from Thunderbolts, which is
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: coming out, you know, in a couple of weeks, if
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: even that. And we haven't reported on a whole bunch
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: of like they've been releasing so many clips. Honestly, I
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: don't even watch half of them because I don't want
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: spoiler more spoilers for the movie than I've already got
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: from the trailers.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: But they released leave something for the film.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but they released I hope this isn't a spoiler
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: from the film. They released a commercial of David Harbor
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: as Red Guardian as I guess whatever Red Guardian's not
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: superhero name, is running a limo company, and it's like
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: a retin link level bad commercial.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's done as if it's local cable access
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: television commercial. And his limos service has two whole cars
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: in it, and it's very cheesy and silly, and at
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: the end of it there's a phone number. And before
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: we recorded, I asked Ariel if she had bothered to
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: call the number. She had not, but I did.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: I use I used to call those numbers more when
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: it was like when like you had a landline and
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: you actually had to pay for calling those numbers. I
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: don't know why I stopped anyhow, what happened when you
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: called it?
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: So it's a recorded message of the Red Guardian, David
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: Harbor as the Red Guardian, thanking you for calling about
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: the Red Limo service and going into the spiel a
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: little bit about it, and then says, oh, you should
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: also buy a ticket to see Thunderbolts, And when you
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: buy your ticket at the theater, tell them I sent you.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: It'll still be the same price, but they'll be really impressed.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: And it made me laugh. I loved it.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: That's amazing. I will have to tell my friends to
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: call that number now, but not tell them.
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: Why it's it's it's a pretty funny little little bit,
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: but yeah, it's a cute promotional video. It's and I've
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: met David Harber and had a conversation with him and
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: like this is like right up his alley. It's just
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: like his kind of sense of humor too.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: So the next trailer we is it's actually a second
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: trailer for the Apple TV movie show.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: It's a it's a film.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: Film, Fountain of Youth. We don't always do second trailers,
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: we do if we've missed the first trailer. But I
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: think we talked about Fountain of Youth previously. But this,
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: this trailer actually makes me want to watch it.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: It's got a lot of it's got a lot of
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: kind of like Indiana Jones slash uncharted energy going on with.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: It, yeah, with a little bit of Jim from the Office,
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: because John Krasinski isn't it adorableness? Like, I feel like
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: this trailer really gives you a look into the character's
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: personalities and gives you something to care about beyond just
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: the generic adventure plot line of finding the Fountain of Youth.
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: So yeah, like in this trailer, we find out that
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: John Kazinsky's character is kind of like art thief slash
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: archaeologist slash adventurer, so very similar to like a Indiana
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: Jones vibe. Is doing what he's doing in large part
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: to get his father the recognition he feels his father deserved.
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: So again very Indiana JONESI ish right with like the
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: Holy Grail and Indiana's father so but it has a
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: kind of national treasure Uncharted tomb Raider Indiana Jones vibe
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: going for it Mummy to some extent gave me the feel. Yeah, yeah,
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: all of those sort of things. You can say that
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: that's the genetic material that makes up Fountain of Youth.
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: And of course you've got like the secret Society that's
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: apparently guarding the secret of the Fountain of Youth and
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff going on to someone else
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: wants it and they'll do anything to get to it.
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: It doesn't look like it's going to break the mold
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: on that kind of film, but it looks like it's
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: a decent like version of that.
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: It looks like it'll be a fun popcorn way to
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: spend an afternoon. We also got a second trailer for
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: uh is Like it feels like everything's a two or
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: four this time. We got a second trailer for Toxic Avenger,
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: which I don't think we talked. We got like a
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: little teeny tiny teaser. I don't think we talked about
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: the first trailer.
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: We might have, but it was such a such a
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: weird little tea like Toxic Avenger. This is the movie
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: where Peter Dinglig is playing the lead of Toxy the
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: Toxic Avenger.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: The original was like a woe budget B movie.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: W Yeah, from Trauma Pictures, Trauma film which James gun
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: came out of. James Gunn did Trauma way back in
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: the day. But this is something that's been in the
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: can for a very long time, and there were questions
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: for a while about whether or not it was ever
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: going to see a release, and now we're finally getting
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: like trailers and stuff for it, And in this one
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: we actually get some of the character before he makes
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: his transformation into Toxi, where where he's a a essentially
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: a janitor at this company that, among other things, deals
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: with caustic chemicals, and that he this character has become
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: sick and he's looking to get support from the company
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: so that he can seek treatment for his illness, which
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: is obviously caused by the chemicals he comes into contact with.
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: And that's kind of the full extent of the trailers.
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: You know, you do get to see a little bit
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: of him as Toxy in it at the end, but
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: it's mostly kind of setting up the elevated but human
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: side of the story.
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The thing that I found interesting because I'm not
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: I've seen some trauma stuff. I'm not a huge fan.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: It's not like it wasn't super my Wheelhouse back in
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: the day. The thing that is really interesting to me
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: about this trailer is obviously they have a budget for
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: it now, with Kevin Bacon and Peter Dinklin, Jene Elijah
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: Wood and all of the people that are in it.
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: Elijah would or the other one, Daniel Radcliffe. I don't
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: remember anyhow one of those two is in it.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: That I love that you say those two because they
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: have each talked about how they've been mistaken as the
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: other one.
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I just don't remember offhand. But the trailer
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: still has a very B movie feel to it, with
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: like the cuts, some of the sound quality. The fact
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: that a lot of the movie doesn't have like a
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: score or like music underneath it in the trailer at
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: least gives it still that very B level movie feel.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: And I wonder if that's to like hit on this
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: nostalgia of the people who are true fans of it
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: from the original.
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: Could be I mean it could very well also just
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: be a byproduct of a genuinely low budget. It's hard
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: to say, but yeah, I will probably watch this when
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: it comes out. You know what. I've seen a couple
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: of Trauma Pictures films, but I have never actually watched
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: the Toxic Avenger.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: I fell asleep during the Toxic Avenger, which is sad
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: because I think it's less like I've seen like three
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: quarters of it. It's probably the one that's most up
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: my alley. The other one I saw was Tromeo and Juliet,
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: and I don't think I can recommend that to anyone.
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: It was James Gun's film.
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean just not my cup of tea. It
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: was a little too crass for me.
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, that was back in James Gun's edgy period
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: where he was making he was making edgy statements and
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: leaning on those for jokes, and then later on he said, yeah,
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: you know that was stupid. It just wasn't It wasn't funny,
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: and it was just me trying to trying to be
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: funny but just being a jerk. Yeah. Well, we also
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: got a trailer. I alluded to this in the thirty
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: seconds or less. We got a trailer for the reboot
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: of I Know What You Did Last Summer. It's actually
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: a sequel because they have two of the excuse me,
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: I got a hiccup. Two of the stars of the
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: original film are in this.
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Freddie Prince Junior and Jennifer Love HEWITTT correct, Yes, yeah,
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: I got it right.
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: Did you know that? They also asked Sarah Michelle Geller
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: if she would come back.
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that. But don't they show her picture
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: on a grave in the trailer?
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: Well? Yeah, she dies in the movie. She's so apparently
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: apparently in the.
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: I've not watched this, look, I've barely met I've just
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: this year watched Scream three last year.
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, and I spoiler alert for I Know What
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: You Did Last Summer. Sarah Michelle Geller's character does not
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: make it out. She gets killed, and apparently the director
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: slash screenwriter for this reboot or the sequel reached out
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: to see if maybe Sarah Michelle Geller would be interested
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: in coming back. And she's like, Wow, the character's dead.
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: Like you see her on Ice. She's as dead as
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: dead can be. I'm Sarah dead Geller.
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, but okay, but she's also played Buffy the
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: Vampire Slayer, so she knows that death is not always well.
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: And I think that was the point, was that the
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: writer was like trying to do mental gymnastics to figure
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: out a way to justify bringing her back. But eventually
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: Sarah Michelle Geller is like, no, it just doesn't make sense.
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: It wouldn't it wouldn't serve the movie.
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: Well her secret twin sister.
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe, but anyway, this does follow new characters. The
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddy Prince Junior are playing supporting roles,
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: So it follows new characters who clearly do something, probably
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: a hit a guy in their car at night, who
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: then ends up wreaking vengeance upon them, because that's what
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: happens in the first I Know What You Did Last Summer.
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: The trailer looks like it's gonna be a pretty inventive
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: slasher movie, Like the kills look like they're gonna be
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: pretty brutal and nasty. So if that's your thing, like,
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: if you like movies that do that, like the Halloween
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: films or Friday the Thirteenth movies or whatever, this is
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: probably gonna be up your alley.
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: This is it's not up mine. I it's I think
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: Scream made fun of I Know what You did last
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: summer and a bunch of US slasher movies. But I
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: think that's about as far as I can go.
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: Scream also had a one of the Scream sequels had
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: Sarah Michelle Geller in it.
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, well, I say that's as far as I
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: could go. However, we did get a teeny tiny teaser
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: for weapons, which is the news at Kreeger Film. I
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: guess the last film that he was super like hitting
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: the news for was Barbarian, which was too scary for me.
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: This one is. The teaser is very interesting and it
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: piques my curiosity.
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the sort of the logline for the film is
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: that one night, all the children save one in this
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: town disappear, and so there's a mystery element of why
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: did the children disappear? Why did this one child not disappear?
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: Where did the kids go? Are they okay? But the
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: teaser we get is just of little children kind of
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: Naruto running at night, like they're not bent over, but
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: their arms are flung back as they're running. Yea, and
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: you hear you have some like voiceover stuff going on,
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: and it's very creepy. And mysterious, like there's not a
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: whole lot to hold on to as far as like
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: a storyline goes, but it is very effective in creating
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: an atmosphere and a feeling.
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: And at the end of the at the tea of
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: the end of the little teaser, there's a there's a
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: bit where they're like the URL for the movie is
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: have you seen so and so or something like that,
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: so it's not even like weapons the movie or whatever,
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: which I think is interesting that that goes back to
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: that old style of like advertising, that like the more
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: viral advertising that Jonathan and I have said that we've
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: liked in the past.
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: So oh yeah, no, I love it when people come
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: up with clever ways to advertise stuff. I mean not
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: to go off on a huge tangent, but some of
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: my fondest memories of going to science fiction conventions when
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: I was a kid would be collecting stuff that was
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: distributed as promotional material for movies. Like you don't really
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: see that that much anymore unless it's something that's like
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: done in conjunction with like a happy meal at McDonald's
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: or whatever. But at conventions you would get you know,
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: buttons like pins to wear that would have, you know,
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: movie logos and slogans and stuff on them. You get
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: movie posters. I had a Buckeroo Bonzai headband. I still
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: have it, like the kind that they wear in the movie.
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: I've got a Buckeroo Bonzi headband from Team Bonzai. And yeah,
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: that was kind of stuff that I loved because it
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: was this tangible object that helped promote this movie. Or
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: the case that I think is the most brilliant ever
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: was at a screening of a movie where at the
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: end when people were coming out, some of the cars
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: that were in the parking lot had black video cassettes
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: just sitting on them, and if you went home and
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: put the video cassette in your VCR, it would play
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: the video from the ring as a promotion for the ring.
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: And like, what a brilliant idea, how creepy that would be.
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: So whenever anything like that happens, whenever anyone gets creative
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: with the way that they promote their film, I get excited.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I because I'm an actor in Atlanta where this films.
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: I have a little bit of like insight into the movie,
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: not enough to spoil it for me, so I'll still
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: need to read the common sense media review, but again
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: enough to pique my interest. You can bet on that.
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: Ah, A nice segue. So our next story is for
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: a series. It's based off I think manga series, but
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: it's called bet and the premise here is the setting
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: is a prestigious like boarding school where lots of movers
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: and shakers go, and this young woman is attending there.
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: Her parents attended there, but her parents had both been
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: murdered and she's determined, she is certain someone from the
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: school is responsible, so she's determined to find out who
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: it is and to get her revenge. Meanwhile, this school,
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: very elevated, like very magical in some ways, has like
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: all these crazy weird archetype type characters, like the children
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: of like criminal warlords and politicians and stars and stuff
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: like that.
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: I think it's important to say that this is not
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: just a prestigious school for movers and shakers. It's supposed
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: to be a prestigious schools for like the powerful bad guys.
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, specifically. And it turns out that the social strata
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: in this school is largely determined by gambling, and if
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: you are really good at gambling, then you tend to
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: rise up the social ranks of this school, and so
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: this young woman who is now attending the school and
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: is searching for her parents' killers, is attempting to move
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: up the ranks and to infiltrate and take it all
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: down from the inside. And it definitely is very it's
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: not realistic, like it's it's not a realistic thing, but
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: it looks fun.
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: It does. I can't like part of it. It's like, oh,
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: it's too teeny bopper teenmy soap drop drama for me.
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: And the other part of me is like, this feels
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: very like Scott Pilgrim.
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say. I would say it's like a
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: mix between Scott Pilgrim and on the far extreme Battle Royale,
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: but it's it doesn't look nearly as grim as Battle Royale.
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: It looks like it's violent, but not like like but
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: in it she yes, not distressingly violent the way Battle
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: Royale was.
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I actually have interest in this. It's going
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: to come out on Netflix. I will probably watch it.
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll say, like, the little trailer makes the lead
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: look very charismatic. I liked what I saw. I love
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: like there's a little sequence where she's winning at different
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: games and it starts off with poker where she's like
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: Royal Flush and then Blackjack and then Bingo, and she's
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: so excited about getting Bingo, and I was just like,
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: I love this. I don't I assume that that's the
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: character putting on an act in order to get to
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: get under her enemy's skin. But it's thinker is.
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: Such an interesting one because that's that's a very hard
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: game to rig, yeah, or cheat at.
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: Well, and most of the time, most of the time,
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: there's no logic to this. It's like people are good
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: at gambling just because they're good at gambling.
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, she's a good guy pretending to be
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: bad in theory, So let's talk about traditionally bad guys.
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: What are getting a sympathetic treatment.
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, at least half of them are. We got a
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: trailer or a teaser for Predator bad Lands. I call
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: it more of a trailer than a teaser. It was
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: longer than what I yea and in it we see
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: that there is there's a there's a conflict between at
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: least two predators. We don't know what the nature of
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: that conflict is, but there's a predator who is walking
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: around in large part in this teaser without his helmet
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: and also seeking out stuff. Looks like it's on an
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: alien planet of some sort. Humans are involved, or at
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: least humanoid. Yeah, it was about to say might be robots.
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: It's hard to say.
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: That's someone who looks like a human played by l Fanning.
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought the trailer looked exciting.
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: Me too. I you know, I never really needed a
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: sympathetic Predator, but I'm excited to see what they do
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: with it. The it's by the same team who did Prey,
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: which was the Predator prequel that everybody I know who
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: watched it absolutely loved it, and the same team behind
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: the Predator anthology series. We're getting kind of so I'm interested.
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, me too. I still haven't seen Prey, so me neither.
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: In fact, I've only seen the first two Predator movies.
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: I don't have any real recollection of the second one.
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're all kind of the same for the
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: most part. I've been told exception of like maybe it's
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: one of the alien versus Predator movies. But they really
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: missed out on having the second movie be called Eat
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: in the third movie be.
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: Called Love, Oh Pray, Eat Love as opposed to Okay.
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: So when you said second movie you mean following Pray God. Yes,
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: yeh yeah. Well, moving on from that joke, let's talk
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: about something that is deadly serious. That is Oh, that
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: is the teeny bop musical horror mash up sequel Zombies
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: four Dawn of the Vampires.
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm kind of we haven't really talked about Zombies
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: two or three, so I'm kind of surprised we're talking
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: about four. But it is a musical camp way. It's
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: zombies for but it's about.
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: Vampires and day walkers, so two different types of vampires.
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and like there was a previous Zombies that also
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: I think had wear wolves in it.
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know, Yeah, because I mean it turns out
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: that zombies themselves are not that interesting, and after a while,
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: you've got to introduce other types of monsters into your story. Yeah,
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: it is done like a Sleepway camp type show or film.
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: I'm assuming it's a show. I don't even know really,
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: But with the day walkers versus vampire storyline, I'm like, oh,
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: is this like the rich kids across the Lake versus
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: the Camp of Misfits kind of storyline, except you've changed
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: it to vampires and day walkers.
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah. That would be funny. That would be funny. Yeah,
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: that would actually be funny.
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know that I would watch it, but
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: I like it as a concept.
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: Same said, I like his concepts. That I haven't watched
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: as well are most of season one of Wednesday, but
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: we finally got a teaser for season two.
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I also haven't watched the first season of Wednesday.
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: I've heard I've heard like mixed things about it, you know,
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: like like Jenna Ortega is good in it, but the
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: the some of the other characters and storylines and stuff
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: were less interesting to a lot of people. So Jenna
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: Ortega shown in a in something that wasn't as good
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: as she is.
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there were a lot of cool things
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: in it, some of the plotlines were a little men like.
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: I've watched about half of it, I would say, and
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: then I just there were other things that I was
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: more interested in, and I intended to go back, and
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: I just never did. I do.
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: Like.
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: I love Catherine Zada Jones. She feels not. You wouldn't
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: think so, because she plays she plays Martitia Adams, and
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: you think that would be right up her alley. But
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: for some reason, just her and God who plays Gomez,
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: was it Louise Guzman. Yeah, her and Louise Guzman. While
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: they have a good chemistry, they don't have that fun
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: like eff spark, which is weird to say about goth people,
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: but yeah, yeah.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: But Raul Julia and Angelica Houston like they could set
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: the screen on fire if they had wanted to.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, And there was just like a little bit
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: of impish quirk to them that I feel is not
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: quite there in season one of It Wednesday. They're both
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: phenomenal actors, so I was I was very disappointed by that,
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: but I didn't get to some of the more fun
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: characters like Fester or anything like that in the series.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: I am. I will probably go back and finish it
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: and watch it simply because Jenna Ortega has had a
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: much bigger hand in season two, co producing it with
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: Tim Burton and like. Reports have said that they've taken out,
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: like some of the love interest storylines because that's not
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: important to the character, and refocused on some other stuff,
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: and I am very interested interested to see how the
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: show has changed with her taking more of a guiding
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: role in the show.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: I've also heard that there was some behind the scenes
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: issues too, that I don't want to get into because
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: I don't I honestly am not really familiar with it.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: But apparently there were some accusations against one of the
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: actors who played one of the romantic interest characters from
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: what I understand, but again I haven't friend of the show.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: Shay Lee tipped me on to that, but I haven't.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: I haven't personally looked into it. Yeah, so I don't
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: know what that is. But obviously that would have an
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: impact as well, and from what she was saying, it
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: was like one of those unfortunate things where again I
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: haven't watched the first season, so I don't know how
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: any of this shakes out. But apparently there like two
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: potential romantic interests, one of whom turns out to not
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: be a good character and one that does. But like
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: you're misled earlier on in the series as to which
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: is which, and unfortunately, the one who turns out to
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: be the quote unquote better choice at the end of
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: the season was apparently played by someone who did some
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: bad things. But again I haven't looked into it personally,
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: so this could all be from me misunderstanding what shay
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: was saying. So I don't want to put it on her.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: It's not her fault. I had not looked into it.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: But obviously if something like that is the case, then
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: that would be another good reason to remove romantic storylines
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: from your plot, because you don't want to deal with that.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's not that Wenesday. I don't know. In
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: the original series to Wednesday ever have romantic.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: Not really no, I mean like in Adam's Family Values
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: there's a young Nebbish boy who who kind of gets
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: a crush on her at camp and she is sort
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: of interested in him, but is it's kind of despite herself,
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: And then in the stage musical there's she has a
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: love interest, but generally speaking.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: No, Yeah, so I don't even think you need it, Like,
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: I get that people want that, you know, and me too.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: I fall I'm like, you don't need a love you
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: can just have friendships. But then, like, I'm totally a
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: romantic oftentimes and I'll rail against it, but I do
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: like the love stories, but I don't think it's necessary.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: And yeah, like I appreciate your caution with discussing it,
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: because this isn't this isn't like casting aspersions on anybody.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: Because I have very good friends and I do it
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: myself too, where I'll read a headline and pass something
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: on and then like it's misleading. So I always like
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: to look into stuff myself before.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and since I haven't done that, I probably shouldn't
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: even mentioned anything, but just thinking that sometimes behind the
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: scenes stuff can play a part two. We also got
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: an actual trailer for Love, Death, and Robots season four.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: We talked earlier about a teaser that gave very brief
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: looks into some of the different animation styles and stories
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: that we'd be seeing, but this one we got a
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: little bit more, and yeah, it looks intense.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: It does, though, I mean we got away a lot
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: of the same stuff that was in the teasers. In
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: the trailer, there's like some more. Honestly, they flesh out
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: the cat character from the teaser a lot more, which
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: is interesting for them to focus on the thing that
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: struck me in the trailer versus the teaser. Is is
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: it Reese Darby? Yes, Reecee Darby is just flat out
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: in this animated anthology as a real live action human
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: and it hurt my brain.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I mean there certainly have been plenty of
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: cases of mixing live action and animation in the past,
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: like whether you're talking about rotoscoping or you're talking about
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: actually incorporating live action and animation in the same frame,
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: Roger Rabbit being a big example, or you also have
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: the tradition of cartoon network showing live action programming instead
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: of cartoons and making my brain break because I'm like,
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: that's not what your network says.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it just it surprised me. Yeah, but I
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: get it. You know, You've got all these different artists
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: who want to tell different stories different ways, and this
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: is their platform. My friends love it. They're trying to
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: get us to watch it for the group watch. I'm
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: trying to get us to watch a Bondsman and then
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: we're gonna see if everybody buys Apple TV to watch
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: murder Bot. But if I start watching this, I will
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: let you know.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I have a feeling there's going to be quite
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 2: a few of the entries in this lists that are
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 2: not really your cup of tea.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: Me too, which is why I haven't watched it previously.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, I think all the animation and stuff
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 2: looks incredible. I expect that the stories are pretty, you know,
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 2: remarkable in different ways. But I feel like if you
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 2: don't have a high tolerance for the sexy schexy stuff
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: or the super violent stuff. It's gonna be a rough
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: time for you.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: I can do some super violent in cartoons, like I
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: do watch Invincible, though I haven't watched the latest season.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: And I did watch Secret Level, which is also I
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: think done by the Love Death and Robots people.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah's the one where it's all the different video game
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: characters being reimagined in different ways.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And the art it was a lot of CGI,
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: so I would say it wasn't as diverse in its
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: you know styles media. Yeah, the animation styles were different
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: for some of them, not all of them. The stories
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: were very hit or miss for me in Secret Level,
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: but like, the violence didn't bother me. One there was
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: one thing that I was like, huh, but I handled it.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: It was fine. But yeah, I'm not I have only
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: a moderate tolerance for sexy SCHMEXI I realized that that
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: sounds weird from a person who has seen several seasons
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: of Outlander and Bridgerton.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: But well, our last story is a bittersweet one. There
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: is a two part documentary coming out in just a
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: few weeks for about Pee Wee Herman it's called Kiwi
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: as himself and Paul Rubins participated in this documentary before
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: his passing. This was when he knew about his diagnosis.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 2: So when he passed away, he actually he actually had
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: a statement apologizing for the fact that he had not
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: shared his health status with the wide world. Like he
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: said that it was a pleasure making art for you
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: and like his very sweet heartfelt goodbye.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: You know, he's not like he was a public figure,
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: but he's not required to share his personal health stuff
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: with people.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, absolutely, But it was more like I think
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: he was apologizing because he figured that this was something
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: that was going to take a lot of people by surprise.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 2: And when you heard about more about him, he sounded
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: like the kind of person who was just truly remarkable
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: to his friends. Like there were people who said, like, yeah,
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: like he would remember your birthday and every year he
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: would send you a message on your birthday to usually
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 2: in a weird and silly way, to wish you a
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 2: happy birthday. That kind of stuff, like just very sweet things.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 2: And this documentary goes into the good, the bad, and
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 2: the ugly of his life, like everything from his time
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: with the Groundlings where he developed the pe wee Herman
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: character or originally to you know, obviously his great success
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: as that character, to when he was doing other stuff
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: as well as like his run ends with the Law.
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I think it's gonna be a compelling watch.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: I am very much looking forward to seeing it. I
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: got a little emotional watching the trailer.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I got a little bit like there was a
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: period of time where he was, like I was famous,
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: so I lost my anonymity and that was when they
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: were showing clips from his run ins with the law,
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: and it felt a little bit like he he did
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: say he didn't want to play the victim, and like
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: I had mixed feelings about that, because, yeah, it is
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: very hard when your your life is under a microscope,
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: especially if you are a person who, as Jonathan pointed
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: out in some of our conversations about it, because you know,
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: we chat throughout the week, if you're a person who
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: maybe is not anti standard human being, no gotcha?
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well yeah, Like you know, he was very private
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: in many ways, Like he had a very public facing persona,
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: but he was a very private person well on a
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: personal level. And you know, it's I'm sure that the
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 2: documentary will take a fairly positive view of him overall.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 2: I don't I can't see this as being like some
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 2: sort of smear campaign now, But I mean, he was
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: a human being, Like any human being, he made some
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: decisions that were probably not the best, but you know,
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: in the grand scheme of things, especially when you look
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 2: at Hollywood, certainly don't rak among the worst. I mean,
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 2: there were suspicions about him that were certainly among the worst,
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: right like the bad, bad stuff, But none of that
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 2: ended up being substantiated, at least not to a point
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: that would meet a legal standard. So whether the documentary
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 2: goes into deep detail about that or not, we'll have
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: to see. But you know, as someone who was a
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: very gifted entertainer and appeared to be like a genuinely
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: good friend to people, I think it'll be an interesting watch.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 2: I also I got a little caught up when they
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: showed clips from his original HBO special from the early
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: nineteen eighties, because that was when Phil Hartman played the
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: part of Captain Carl and that remains one of my
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: favorite comedy specials of all time. Is that original Pewee
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 2: Herman HBO special. This was before he had the Kids show.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: It's presented like it's a kid's show, but it's not
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: for kids, it's for adults. And Captain Carl was one
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 2: of my favorite characters. And just seeing Phil Hartman, you know,
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: footage of Phil Hartman again got me a little weepy.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 2: So I'm very much looking forward to the documentary. I
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 2: look forward to learning more about this complicated person. Yeah,
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: and their their journey. I mean, like, I still like
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: a lot of his stuff he did that wasn't pee
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 2: weee like I mean, still, I think the best part
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 2: of the movie version of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: I agree. I was just about to bring that up.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: I did like pee wee Herman's Playhouse the actual kids show.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: I don't, Yeah, yeah, I don't. I don't think I
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: was allowed to watch the HBO version, you know, kind
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: of like a kid friendly version of Andy Kaufman.
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, very performance and he talks in the in
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: the trailer for the documentary about how he wanted to
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: be a performance artist so very much in the in
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: the lines of an Andy Kaufman.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But like I loved him in Buffy the Vampire Slayer,
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: and even though his character was gross to me and
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: mystery men, I thought he was very funny as the Spleen.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: The Spleen he was in Batman's Returns and Flight to
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: the Navigator and a bunch of stuff. I you know,
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: I did like I did like the things that I
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: saw him in. I thought he was very funny. And
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: it is interesting because he does mention in the trailer
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: that like it is. It was weird for him to
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: participate in this documentary about himself without him leading it,
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: because he wasn't. He's not the person who ended up
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: editing it or saying yes, this gets to stay, this
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: gets to go, don't talk about this. He just participated
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: in it. So I agree. I think it will be
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: a kind and honest, but kind homage to what he
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: brought to the world of comedy and entertainment.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't. Again, maybe in the future will
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: get a different one which will be a little bit
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: more you know critical.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: Do we need that? Though?
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 2: I don't think so, Like I mean, assuming that he's
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: actually innocent of the more you know, sinister accusations, then
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: I don't think we need anything like that. But part
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: of me worries, like you know, you worry, like you're like,
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: did it turn out that all this time, I'm enjoying
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 2: the work of and maybe to some extent, idolizing someone
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: who did some things that I find repugnant. As far
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 2: as I know, that's not the case, but you know,
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: you worry because, like, Hollywood is full of people who
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: did terrible, terrible things, and when you find out about
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: you're like, gosh, I used to like your stuff.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, that is true. I've had this conversation, especially
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: in the last ten years, has been a more prominent conversation.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: I kind of came to the my friends kind of
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: came to the realization that, like, it is not to
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: say that I am I am glad that Paul Rubens
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: is dead, because I'm not, But it is easier to
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: enjoy someone's portfolio of work separate from the person that
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: they were once they have passed on.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that becomes literal death of the author at
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 2: that point, because death of the author describes that ability
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 2: to separate the person from the art that they create.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 2: And I don't know that that's always merited. Like in
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: Paul Rubins's case, I mean, you know, you enjoy his
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 2: stuff and not a penny of it's going to him
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: because he's passed on. With other people. Obviously, it's more
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 2: complicated if they're still alive. Like you might be able
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: to separate the art from the artist, but if your
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: enjoyment of the art means that you're benefiting the artist
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 2: who continues to be a bad person, that's tough.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, for sure, that is all we have
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: to talk about. And before we get into a whole
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: diatribe about death of the author, I think we should,
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: which is my fault. We should probably wrap it up
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: for today.
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: That sounds good to me. Let's wrap it up.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: Let's wrap it up, Jonathan. Yeah, how do people attempt
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: to contact you?
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 2: Okay, so this summer I hadn't planned on doing this,
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 2: but now, like I kind of got roped into it.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 2: If you want to get in touch with me, you're
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 2: gonna have to go to this little summer camp out
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 2: in the woods. It's gonna be really irritating because the
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: closer you get, the more you're gonna realize, oh my god,
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: everyone's singing, and I bet there's choreography. And as you
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 2: get closer, it's sure enough it's gonna be the case.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: Not only that, but you're gonna see like everyone is
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 2: waving their hands around in the air as if it's
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: doing stuff, and you realize, oh, no, they're all pretending
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: to be wizards or monsters or something. You're gonna have
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 2: to wade through all of these people. By the way,
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 2: most of them are gonna be in there, like early
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: to mid twenties, but they're gonna pretend like they're teenagers.
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 2: And you're gonna have to get through all of this
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 2: stuff listening to a lot of songs that are frankly
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: just okay at best, and you're gonna have to get
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 2: to the guidance counselor cabin. When you get there, it's
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: very important here you need to knock four times before
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: opening the door. And they're in the darkest corner of
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 2: the cabin. You're gonna see a pair of shoes and
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 2: you're gonna walk up and you're gonna say Jonathan, and
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: then from behind you're gonna hear, what do you want?
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: And you got to turn around there I am sitting
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: there without my shoes on. Turns out, yeah, the shoes
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 2: were just poking out of the corner at the base
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: of a chair and it wasn't actually me. And then
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 2: you can ask me your question.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: Very interesting if you don't want to do that. You
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: can reach out to us on social media. The thing
• 1:17:22
