  SPEAKER_00: How are you doing today?
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_00: Good.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_00: I'm excited to go on this because it's been years.
• 1:03
  SPEAKER_00: It's been a long time coming.
• 1:04
  SPEAKER_00: Years in the making.
• 1:05
  SPEAKER_00: You were one of the first people.
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_00: I think you're one of the first people I asked, and then you were like, I need to find the perfect movie.
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_00: It's been a wild ride.
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_00: There were so many films where I was like, I could do that film, and then I rewatched it.
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_00: I was like, no, I cannot do that film.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_00: At least three or four, I think.
• 1:19
  SPEAKER_00: Can you remember what they were?
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_00: One was The Perfect Score, which is the heist, the kind of SAT's heist movie with Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson.
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_00: And I was like, oh, I remember that being fun when I was a teenager.
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_00: And then watched it, and then like there's a first shot, like one of the first scenes is like a guy, one of the main characters looking up Scarlett Johansson's skirt.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_00: And like actually showing the panty shot.
• 1:42
  SPEAKER_00: It's like, what the hell is this?
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_00: Nope.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_00: Nope.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_00: Can't defend that.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_00: You're not doing that anymore.
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_00: Cannot defend that.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_00: No, I I remember loving that movie when I was a teenager.
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_00: But then like I haven't seen it since then, so like if I was to go back and watch it, I'd probably feel the same now.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_00: It is a fun idea.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_00: Breakfast Club meets heist.
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_00: It should work, but it doesn't it doesn't quite.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_00: Have you seen uh the movie 21?
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_00: Oh I guess you've not seen it.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: Oh it's really surprising actually considering it's a poker movie.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_00: No, it's a blackjack movie.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_00: The blackjack movie, yeah.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_00: I haven't seen it.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_00: I've seen a lot of poker movies, actually, a lot of bad ones, but some somehow I've just missed 21.
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_00: Uh maybe I'll go back and watch it.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_00: I was gonna say because it's kind of it's in a little bit similar to the pr uh Perfect Score, but like I think it's better.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, probably is better.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_00: Perfect Score is not a well-received movie by critics or fans.
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_00: No, it's not.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_00: But I was on TV when I was a teenager and I was like, oh, I enjoyed that.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_00: Uh do you remember any of the other films?
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_00: Um I think I briefly want to defend in time.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_00: Is that what it's called?
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_00: The one with Justin Timberlake.
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_00: Justin Timberlake, where time is money.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_00: Literally, someone thought, Time is money, let's make that into a film.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_00: I think it is a good movie for like 30 minutes and then it just derails so much.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_00: There's that has a poker scene in it where he bids his all his life years, whatever, yeah, on a yeah, on a hand.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_00: I don't remember liking that at all.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_00: No, it's not good.
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_00: I remember the I'm thinking, oh, this could be a good movie, but no, no.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_00: It's a good premise, but Yeah, yeah.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_00: Again, like all of these movies that you you chose are good premises that just executed badly.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_00: No, terrible.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_00: Bad.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_00: Also, like he Olivia Wilde plays his mum, and it's really weird because she's like younger than him.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_00: But in the universe it makes sense, but it just feels really weird to watch.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_00: He's like, he's like, that's her mum.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_00: That's my mum.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_00: I love my mum.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_00: She's just this young, young woman.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_00: It just doesn't work.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah, because Amanda Seifried is the is the love interest, isn't she?
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, she is.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_00: Ah, that's right.

  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_00: I can't remember who the baddie is.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_00: It's the guy from oh, it's I think it's Vincent Cartiser.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_00: I think he's the baddie.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_00: At the height of his career.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, what a good time.

• 5:29
  SPEAKER_00: Just he was doing every show at two North Down, so I just saw like Oh yeah, that makes sense.

  SPEAKER_00: I think I saw maybe ten versions of it or something like that.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_00: I it's crazy.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_00: I really enjoy watching the same show over and over again, at least like three or four times.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_00: I I usually do, but it was the fact that it was like I think it was like twice a week.
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_00: So I was just seeing it constantly.
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_00: Same one.
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_00: Wow.

• 6:18
  SPEAKER_00: I never do, but uh you never go full hermit.
• 6:20

• 7:04
  SPEAKER_00: I hated it.

  SPEAKER_00: It was all 18-year-olds.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_00: Must have been so busy.

  SPEAKER_00: It was all like 18-year-old actors in there.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_00: Oh dear.

• 8:24
  SPEAKER_00: Same old.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_00: Flowers aren't showing up, great.

  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, there's a lot of that.
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_00: A lot of.

  SPEAKER_00: Oh, is your tech not working?
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_00: Cool.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_00: Mine either.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_00: What a life.
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_00: What a time to be alive.
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_00: What a time to do comedy at the fringe and spend thousands for a subpart experience.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_00: So you're not going up at all this year, and you're not going to go for like two days to do this.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_00: I looked into it last year and it was like so.
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_00: You were considering it last year.
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_00: It's so expensive to book anywhere.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_00: Even like the cheapest Airbnb would be like 30 minutes away, it's still like 100 quid a night.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_00: It's like, what?
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_00: I was just like not having it.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not paying 100 quid a night to go up there.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_00: And then plus trains, plus all the food, plus shop.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, the food is one of the things I couldn't believe how expensive it was.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_00: That was probably the thing that cost me the most up there.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_00: You just end up eating a lot.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I was trying to eat like Tesco mealed it was every day.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_00: And even then it still is.
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_00: How many times have you done it?
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_00: Solo shows three three shows.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_00: And then I've be I was up there for some amount of time between 2010 and 2019.
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's too many.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_00: It's just like it became part of my life.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, I'm gonna spend a month at the fringe every year, no matter what.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_00: I was talking to Jordan Brooks the other day, and he was like He said he's 12 years into stand-up now.
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah.
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_00: And he's not like he's got no plan to take a show up this year.
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_00: Just because it's just like he's like he's got no need to anymore.
• 10:02
  SPEAKER_00: Trevor Burrus, Jr.
• 10:02
  SPEAKER_00: No, he's finally uh over it.
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_00: Which makes sense.
• 10:06
  SPEAKER_00: But now he's directing stuff.
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, directing is a good racket.
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_00: I might get into it.
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_00: I think my agent asked me about, well, would you like to direct?
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_00: I think you'd be a good director.
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_00: I think I'd be good if uh if I really cared about the actor.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_00: Then I'd just be like, oh whatever.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I think you've got to pick someone that you like.
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_00: What I really want to do is not not direct, but just be a mental coach, life coach for Life Coach.
• 10:28
  SPEAKER_00: And I think that would actually be more valuable than my director.
• 10:31
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, honestly, like some half the comedians need it.
• 10:34
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they they really do.
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_00: They just completely unravel in Edinburgh.
• 10:37
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 10:37
  SPEAKER_00: Whereas Whereas I've I've I've set up a thing where you're like, come to me every day.
• 10:43
  SPEAKER_00: Just each act will come in.
• 10:45
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_00: You give them advice.
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_00: I did that.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_00: That would be great.
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_00: That would be great.
• 10:50
  SPEAKER_00: It funds your time up there.
• 10:52
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I think that that is that isn't there's a demand for that, I think.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, there definitely is.
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_00: A lot of comedians fall back on on the techs as as they're like, Yeah.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_00: And the tech is just like, I'm a tech.
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_00: I don't like I'm a tech.
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_00: I get a lot of it, but I don't mind as well.
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 11:10
  SPEAKER_00: I quite enjoy that.
• 11:10
  SPEAKER_00: Well you because you s you you know the world so well, you'll you you'd be quite useful as uh like a but it also isn't in your re it isn't like you're not being paid for that.
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_00: That's fine.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 11:21
  SPEAKER_00: I think it's half a tech's job, to be honest.
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_00: It's like the support act on a tour.
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, the support act must get a lot of that.
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_00: Emotional support.
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_00: Have you had a support act before?
• 11:31
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 11:31
  SPEAKER_00: Uh when I did I only did a small tour and I just thought, what's the point?
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_00: Like you're s it's so expensive anyway.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_00: Have you been a support act?
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_00: Only only not like not for like a whole tour.
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_00: I've only for like one one gig because I th Oh Hal Crutenden was with the same agent as me.
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_00: And it was very much like, oh, just put anyone on the books as my support act because I just don't have anyone.
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_00: And it yeah.
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_00: It's not quite the same as someone handpicking you.
• 12:00
  SPEAKER_00: That's alright though.
• 12:00
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's alright.

  SPEAKER_00: Terrible.
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_00: You've told me Cambridge is the is the worst place to gig.
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_00: Well, this is when I came off stage and the venue manager was like, yeah, these people suck.
• 12:17
  SPEAKER_00: The audience suck here.
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_00: They really they really hate comedy.
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_00: I was like, good.
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_00: Cheers.
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_00: Did you say Oxford was a good place though?
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_00: Oxford, I uh Oxford, I've not done any tour shows in Oxford actually.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_00: Um but Oxford is generally quite good for comedy, right?
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_00: Because they have um the uh what do you call it?
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_00: Jericho Comedy.
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah, of course.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_00: I used to do a lot of their gigs and they were great.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_00: And they once did a little like a There was one, they did a Mind Mind G a Gala for Mind, which where every actor had to do five gigs across a day.
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_00: And that was really nice.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_00: All the gigs were really nice.
• 12:52
  SPEAKER_00: And the big one at the end was like, that was a really nice gig.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_00: Oh nice.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_00: So Oxford, yeah, good.
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_00: Also good Cambridge bad.
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_00: Cambridge bad.
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_00: But also you've probably got like memories of Cambridge and everything as well.
• 13:06
  SPEAKER_00: That's true.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_00: Do you not enjoy your time there?
• 13:11
  SPEAKER_00: Uh I didn't enjoy my uh year of studying.
• 13:16
  SPEAKER_00: Of course it was only a year.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but I did comedy there afterwards for like six years, I think, in Cambridge.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_00: Six years I did comedy in just in Cambridge.
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_00: Uh you were living there the whole time.
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, because I grew up in Cambridge, so I didn't know home and then I was renting a place and then I moved to London.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, right.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so that's why I was the uh that's why I was able to do comedy there.
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_00: Because I didn't discover it when I was studying.
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_00: So I was just living there doing comedy.
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_00: It was great.
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_00: I mean the gigs were amazing in the student scene.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_00: You my first gig was to probably a hundred people and like twenty-one and the same the same reference points as you, the same age as you.
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_00: They're pretty subortive.
• 13:55
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it was a good gig.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_00: What good what got you into comedy then?
• 13:59
  SPEAKER_00: I just signed up on the way.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_00: I I was at there's a really good gig in Cambridge called the Wolfson Howler, which used to be run by which was set up by an agent or someone who became an agent at Avalon.
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_00: I think it might have even been Chris Lander.
• 14:14
  SPEAKER_00: I think Chris Lander set it up.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_00: The famous Chris Lander, yeah.
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_00: Uh and um it just has a really good rep because of that, and it's been going for like twelve years.
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_00: And when I first saw it, Ed Gamble was comparing and he was like the resident compare, despite not really having connection with it with Orson in any way.
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_00: Um and it was Chris Addison was headlining.
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_00: Oh nice.
• 14:41
  SPEAKER_00: And Phil Wang was uh still in his second year and doing a set, and he was incredible.
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_00: And Liam Williams was doing a set.
• 14:48
  SPEAKER_00: I think he just graduated, he was coming back.
• 14:50
  SPEAKER_00: And it was just an incredible gig.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_00: First gig?
• 14:53
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so I saw that gig.
• 14:55
  SPEAKER_00: And then I was I happened to be sitting next to a guy who runs a gig in Cambridge, uh who I met, his name was Charlie, and he ran Clare Comedy, and he was like, Oh, come along to Clare Comedy, so I did.
• 15:07
  SPEAKER_00: And then they were like, uh, there's a sign-up sheet for comedy for new acts at the back.
• 15:12
  SPEAKER_00: If you want to sign up onto the mail list for as a new act, just put your email down.
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_00: And I was like, okay, I'll do it.
• 15:19
  SPEAKER_00: So that that whole series events.
• 15:21
  SPEAKER_00: I guess seeing seeing someone like Phil, who's also Chinese on stage, definitely like helps enforce subconsciously, I think.
• 15:30
  SPEAKER_00: I never really made the connection, but like subconsciously, it's definitely like, oh, okay, I could do that.
• 15:34
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 15:34
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 15:35
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, that's really cool.
• 15:36
  SPEAKER_00: Pretty cra pretty random.
• 15:37
  SPEAKER_00: I think I only went to see that game because Chris Addison was headlining.
• 15:40
  SPEAKER_00: And it was here in the loop came out.
• 15:42
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, I was gonna say, like, how I wondered how you knew him in the loop.
• 15:45
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I guess.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_00: The same year in the it was only a few weeks after In the Loop came out.
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_00: So I was like, wow, oh, uh Chris Allison's headlining.
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, let's go see let's go see it.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, absolutely.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_00: That was like such a key moment in comedy as well.
• 16:00
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_00: So impactful.
• 16:02
  SPEAKER_00: Complete chance.
• 16:03
  SPEAKER_00: Because if I didn't go to that gig, I probably would have never started.
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_00: And if I hadn't been sitting next to Charlie, I don't think I would have ever started.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_00: There's a lot of things that went well, like just happened to like land.
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_00: I kind of have that as well, where I um I my friend asked me to go to a UCB show and then like because I went to that uh to see like just a random show, I was like, oh, this is cool.
• 16:24
  SPEAKER_00: I like this.
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_00: That's really cool.
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_00: But then like I just kind of just started watching more improv stuff online.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_00: Uh and then just got into improv and then from there I just like progressed slightly into everything else.
• 16:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's it's so s some people they're like, I want to be a stand-up since I'm 13, but I was already like 21 and I had no idea.
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_00: I think a month before the gig I had no idea stand-up was even really a thing.
• 16:49
  SPEAKER_00: Had no idea I was gonna do stand-up.
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_00: I remember one only at my uni, only one guy from my uni was doing it at the time I remember.
• 16:57
  SPEAKER_00: Um I don't know if he still does it actually.
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_00: Interestingly enough.
• 17:01
  SPEAKER_00: I I won't say his name because he doesn't do it.
• 17:03
  SPEAKER_00: Jimmy Carr.
• 17:04
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it was Jimmy Carr.
• 17:05
  SPEAKER_00: He's a I'm that old.
• 17:09
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 17:11
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, origin stories.
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_00: It's weird.
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_00: Because I don't think I yeah, I don't think I would have been doing it.
• 17:17
  SPEAKER_00: I don't think I would have considered it even.
• 17:19
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 17:19
  SPEAKER_00: It's weird.
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's weird to think, oh, if I had it went a slightly different way, completely different person, different life.
• 17:26
  SPEAKER_00: And now like all my all the people I know are from comedy and my whole life.
• 17:30
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, exactly.
• 17:31
  SPEAKER_00: Even in the last two years of like since the pandemic and everything, since coming back into it, like everyone I know is just in stand up now.
• 17:39
  SPEAKER_00: It's just weird.
• 17:41
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 17:45
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 17:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 17:48

• 18:26
  SPEAKER_00: Oh nice.
• 18:28
  SPEAKER_00: Joe Mandy came on to talk about Rocky Four.
• 18:31
  SPEAKER_00: Is that the one with the Russians?
• 18:33
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 18:35
  SPEAKER_00: Is it Dolph Lundgren?
• 18:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's Dolph Lundgren.
• 18:37
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.

  SPEAKER_00: No way.
• 18:41
  SPEAKER_00: I th Oh wow.
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_00: It was good.
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_00: I enjoyed it.
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_00: I haven't seen it in a long time.
• 18:46
  SPEAKER_00: I haven't seen all of it.
• 18:47
  SPEAKER_00: It's one of those ones which is on TV and I've seen bits.
• 18:51
  SPEAKER_00: It's yeah, it was basically it's it's a good movie, but it's also one-third of the movie is montage.
• 19:00
  SPEAKER_00: Like someone worked it out.
• 19:01
  SPEAKER_00: It's a 90-minute movie and 31 minutes is montage.
• 19:04
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I think I saw a bit on TV maybe when in a hotel somewhere.
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_00: There were a lot of montages.
• 19:09
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_00: Oh great.
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_00: Fantastic.
• 19:18
  SPEAKER_00: Really, yeah.
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_00: But Dolph is great.
• 19:21
  SPEAKER_00: He's so good in it.
• 19:23
  SPEAKER_00: I bet.
• 19:25
  SPEAKER_00: I couldn't believe um Stallone was like in his late 30s in it as well.
• 19:29
  SPEAKER_00: Oh wow.
• 19:29
  SPEAKER_00: Which is really surprising because you don't he doesn't seem it.
• 19:32
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 19:33
  SPEAKER_00: And he's been around so physically or just physically like that.
• 19:38
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 19:39
  SPEAKER_00: I mean he looks good now, I guess.
• 19:41
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 19:43
  SPEAKER_00: I would have seen that at 70.
• 19:44
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know actually.
• 19:46
  SPEAKER_00: He might still be younger than that.
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_00: I reckon he's probably 70s.
• 19:50
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, probably 70s, because Rocky was like 50, 50 almost 50 years ago now.
• 19:54
  SPEAKER_00: 76.
• 19:55
  SPEAKER_00: Wow, he looks good then.
• 19:57
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he doesn't.
• 19:57
  SPEAKER_00: He looks good for 76.
• 20:01
  SPEAKER_00: Um So today, you you've come on to talk about Super Mario Brothers, the original, not the new one.
• 20:11
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 20:12
  SPEAKER_00: 1993.
• 20:14
  SPEAKER_00: 1993, yeah.
• 20:15
  SPEAKER_00: What a time.
• 20:16
  SPEAKER_00: What a time.
• 20:17
  SPEAKER_00: You sent me a message the other, like, was it two days ago?
• 20:20
  SPEAKER_00: It was two days ago.
• 20:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it was like two days ago.
• 20:21
  SPEAKER_00: It was like at 3 a.m.
• 20:22
  SPEAKER_00: as well.
• 20:22
  SPEAKER_00: I surprised you were awake.
• 20:24
  SPEAKER_00: I'm always awake late.
• 20:25
  SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah.
• 20:25
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I was awake because I'd just finished a movie.
• 20:29
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know why I started it at 1 a.m., but I did.
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_00: What made you watch it?
• 20:33
  SPEAKER_00: Was it the fact that the new one the new one had just come out?
• 20:35
  SPEAKER_00: Someone, I think someone I know posted a video essay about the there was a sc script that was never version of it which was really good and never got released.
• 20:46
  SPEAKER_00: So I was watching that and I was like, oh, maybe I'll just watch the original movie.
• 20:48
  SPEAKER_00: Why not?
• 20:49
  SPEAKER_00: Did you so this script that never got released, uh did you were they talking about the whole thing then?
• 20:54
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I didn't finish the video yet, actually.
• 20:56
  SPEAKER_00: Um but the because the film I think this film had went through so many rewrites.
• 21:00
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's what I've been reading.
• 21:01
  SPEAKER_00: Back and forth.
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_00: The the whole law behind this is crazy.
• 21:05
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 21:05
  SPEAKER_00: It's ridiculous.
• 21:06
  SPEAKER_00: So it's got um twenty-nine percent on tomatoes from the critics and from the audience.
• 21:14
  SPEAKER_00: Ooh.
• 21:14
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, audience hate it.
• 21:15
  SPEAKER_00: It's one of those double uh double scores.
• 21:18
  SPEAKER_00: Audiences Audiences are usually a lot higher on movies.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_00: So for 29%.
• 21:25
  SPEAKER_00: I remember hating this movie when I was younger.
• 21:29
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 21:29
  SPEAKER_00: Went back and rewatched it last night.
• 21:31
  SPEAKER_00: Not as bad as I remember.
• 21:32
  SPEAKER_00: No, it's not bad.
• 21:33
  SPEAKER_00: It's not as an awful movie.
• 21:35
  SPEAKER_00: It's actually like an okay movie.
• 21:37
  SPEAKER_00: It's perfectly fine.
• 21:39
  SPEAKER_00: It's it's that's why I'm so surprised.
• 21:41
  SPEAKER_00: That's so low everywhere.
• 21:43
  SPEAKER_00: Like IMDB, it's a 4.1.
• 21:45
  SPEAKER_00: It's not a 4.1 movie.
• 21:46
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 21:46
  SPEAKER_00: No, it's it's like in a size six.
• 21:50
  SPEAKER_00: It's quite solid.
• 21:51
  SPEAKER_00: Like it's there's nothing particularly wrong about the movie and the way it's shot.
• 21:55
  SPEAKER_00: Like you watch some movies from the 90s.
• 21:57
  SPEAKER_00: Like, have you ever seen Johnny Mnemonic?
• 21:59
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_00: It's so badly shot.
• 22:01
  SPEAKER_00: And even that's quite fun, but like that's so bad incompetently made.
• 22:06
  SPEAKER_00: And you watch Super Mario Brothers, actually, this is quite a competently made movie.
• 22:09
  SPEAKER_00: The camera, the camera work is generally good.
• 22:12
  SPEAKER_00: The cinematography is generally good.
• 22:13
  SPEAKER_00: The acting is generally good.
• 22:15
  SPEAKER_00: The special effects in it for the time are good.
• 22:18
  SPEAKER_00: Are good.
• 22:18
  SPEAKER_00: It looks like a mid-late 90s movie.
• 22:21
  SPEAKER_00: The only thing is, it came out um like a week or something before Jurassic Park.
• 22:26
  SPEAKER_00: Jurassic Park, that would have hurt it.
• 22:27
  SPEAKER_00: What is this like when you see those dinosaurs and you see these ones, you're like, oh, okay, I understand that.
• 22:32
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 22:32
  SPEAKER_00: But obviously Jurassic Park is like the movie.
• 22:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 22:36
  SPEAKER_00: In one of the movies that is touted to have held up in CGI.
• 22:40
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 22:41
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 22:41
  SPEAKER_00: That is a movie that still warms up.
• 22:43
  SPEAKER_00: I'm glad you felt the same because when I watched it, I was like, how is this a 4.1?
• 22:48
  SPEAKER_00: And I guess the the the curse of it is that it is a terrible Super Mario Brothers movie.
• 22:53
  SPEAKER_00: I think that's what the biggest issue is.
• 22:56
  SPEAKER_00: It's not about a Mario movie.
• 22:59
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 22:59
  SPEAKER_00: It doesn't work as a if you're like, oh, I want to see a movie based on my favorite video game franchise about a cute little plumber who jumps up and downs gets bigger squammer, goes around a cartoon colorful world, and rides a cute Yoshi.
• 23:13
  SPEAKER_00: No, you're not gonna get that.
• 23:14
  SPEAKER_00: You're not gonna get this at all.
• 23:17
  SPEAKER_00: Did you so um the the one the script that they were talking about in that in that uh video essay?
• 23:25
  SPEAKER_00: Video essay, was it the one about the one where they're going on a road trip?
• 23:29
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe it was.
• 23:30
  SPEAKER_00: I actually I can't really remember.
• 23:32
  SPEAKER_00: Uh yeah, because they've gone so many different ways with it.
• 23:36
  SPEAKER_00: Apparently that was the first version of it.
• 23:37
  SPEAKER_00: Um it might not have been the first one.
• 23:39
  SPEAKER_00: I think I the only thing I remember of the video essay so far is that it wasn't actually finished, the script, because a guy showed up and was like, you have to deliver script now or or you've lost the job.
• 23:50
  SPEAKER_00: So he just he just gave over what he had of it, which was like 90%, it had no ending.
• 23:57
  SPEAKER_00: The original script was um, let me find his name.
• 24:00
  SPEAKER_00: It's it's the guy that wrote Men in Black.
• 24:02
  SPEAKER_00: Oh.
• 24:02
  SPEAKER_00: Who wrote that?
• 24:03
  SPEAKER_00: Um it's a really good writer.
• 24:05
  SPEAKER_00: He's a really good writer.
• 24:05
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 24:06
  SPEAKER_00: Ed Solomon.
• 24:07
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 24:07
  SPEAKER_00: And he's like he's quite active on Twitter as well.
• 24:09
  SPEAKER_00: So I feel like if any of us reached out to him, he would like speak about it.
• 24:13
  SPEAKER_00: It might be that one.
• 24:14
  SPEAKER_00: I need to watch this full video, yeah.
• 24:16
  SPEAKER_00: Uh yeah, he's he's a really good writer and he's like, he's written uh let me find else what else he's written.
• 24:22
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he's because he wrote the so he wrote this original whatever it is.
• 24:26
  SPEAKER_00: Interesting.
• 24:27
  SPEAKER_00: Bill and Ted, he wrote.
• 24:28
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, that's fun.
• 24:29
  SPEAKER_00: That he he would have made a good probably still not a good Mario movie, but uh an interesting one.
• 24:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 24:35
  SPEAKER_00: So he wrote Bill and Ted, then he wrote um He wrote for Gary Shanling Show.

  SPEAKER_00: What a film.
• 24:54
  SPEAKER_00: So he's he's like He's a move he's a move and shaker.
• 24:57
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 24:58
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 24:59
  SPEAKER_00: He knows how to write a script, isn't he?
• 25:02
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 25:02
  SPEAKER_00: Whereas these two these two writer directors that got given.
• 25:06
  SPEAKER_00: A married couple, yeah.
• 25:07
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 25:08
  SPEAKER_00: Apparently the worst couple in the casts set have said.
• 25:13
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 25:14
  SPEAKER_00: So you did do your you did your research.
• 25:16
  SPEAKER_00: I did a bit, yeah.
• 25:16
  SPEAKER_00: Dennis Hopper said they were awful.
• 25:18
  SPEAKER_00: Dennis Hopper.
• 25:18
  SPEAKER_00: Well, they all said they were awful.
• 25:21
  SPEAKER_00: I think all the casts really.
• 25:23
  SPEAKER_00: John Leguizama got continuously drunk because of them.
• 25:26
  SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah.
• 25:26
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 25:27
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 25:27
  SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah, they were just drinking before every take.
• 25:31
  SPEAKER_00: They're all good in it.
• 25:33
  SPEAKER_00: All the actors are good in it.
• 25:34
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I've got no issues with any of the actors.
• 25:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 25:36
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, great.
• 25:37
  SPEAKER_00: The thing is, like, they would be a good set of actors in a real Mario movie if it was like written as Mario.
• 25:44
  SPEAKER_00: I would enjoy that with all of them.
• 25:46
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 25:46
  SPEAKER_00: It's interesting because yeah.
• 25:49
  SPEAKER_00: Dennis Hopper's a great actor.
• 25:52
  SPEAKER_00: I think he's good in this.
• 25:53
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he is good.
• 25:54
  SPEAKER_00: I think he's probably the best one in this.
• 25:55
  SPEAKER_00: Probably, yeah.
• 25:56
  SPEAKER_00: He's always reliable as a villain.
• 25:57
  SPEAKER_00: Like, what's uh speed?
• 25:59
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, he's so good at speed.
• 26:00
  SPEAKER_00: And that's that's a year after this.
• 26:01
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
• 26:02
  SPEAKER_00: It's the same role, really.
• 26:05
  SPEAKER_00: Just a madman.
• 26:07
  SPEAKER_00: I think what helped as well is he didn't know what he was like, he didn't know the character or anything.
• 26:12
  SPEAKER_00: He just like didn't know.
• 26:15
  SPEAKER_00: He just played the character.
• 26:16
  SPEAKER_00: Um But also it kind of worked for Mario and Luigi.
• 26:20
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 26:21
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 26:21
  SPEAKER_00: They did they also didn't know what they were like stuck up to.
• 26:25
  SPEAKER_00: You just have like quite a nice brotherly pair who have quite a fun rapport, really.
• 26:32
  SPEAKER_00: It makes no like it makes no sense in the Mario world though.
• 26:38
  SPEAKER_00: Like he he uh sort of like like do you Are you able to kind of like give the basic premise of the movie?
• 26:47
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, I'll try.
• 26:47
  SPEAKER_00: I'll try.
• 26:48
  SPEAKER_00: Um so they're just plumbers working in uh New York and In Brooklyn, Brooklyn.
• 26:53
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, Brooklyn, New York.
• 26:55
  SPEAKER_00: And they meet uh Princess Daisy, who was dropped as a issue number one.
• 27:00
  SPEAKER_00: Issue number one, yeah.
• 27:01
  SPEAKER_00: Uh dropped as a baby and got born out of a dinosaur egg.
• 27:05
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 27:06
  SPEAKER_00: Uh that's not explained, really.
• 27:08
  SPEAKER_00: It's not, it's really not.
• 27:09
  SPEAKER_00: She's, I guess she is dinosaur who evolved.
• 27:11
  SPEAKER_00: I guess all all the human dinosaurs are just humans.
• 27:14
  SPEAKER_00: They're dinosaurs, but they look completely human, basically.
• 27:17
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but one one thing that doesn't make sense.
• 27:19
  SPEAKER_00: I guess we'll kind of talk about it later, actually.
• 27:21
  SPEAKER_00: I'll go into it later when we explain like more stuff about it.
• 27:24
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, yeah, let's do that.
• 27:25
  SPEAKER_00: Um and then she's they're trying to kidnap her because she's the daughter of the king, and she also has this rock which will uh merge the two worlds of dinosaur world and earth, uh, which they want because the dinosaur world is truly fucked.
• 27:42
  SPEAKER_00: It's uh it's a real dystopia and kind of Mad Max-esque sort of demolition man future where everything sucks.
• 27:51
  SPEAKER_00: And I kind of like that.
• 27:52
  SPEAKER_00: I kind of like how it the the world is just the set is great.
• 27:54
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, the set is the whole that's I missed that from the 90s.
• 27:58
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 27:59
  SPEAKER_00: Real sets.
• 27:59
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 28:00
  SPEAKER_00: Real sets, all that set, all the production design is really good.
• 28:03
  SPEAKER_00: The fungus, the little tiny dinosaurs, all the like different technology, like the the the rocket, the rocket, the boots, boot boots, the uh the guns, the bomb, uh all that is is fun.
• 28:19
  SPEAKER_00: It's fun.
• 28:19
  SPEAKER_00: It's like, oh we they put effort into this.
• 28:21
  SPEAKER_00: They want to do it fucking around.
• 28:25
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 28:25
  SPEAKER_00: I like the the shocking, like the little guns which shock people mildly.
• 28:31
  SPEAKER_00: There's no uses, but they're the things that are never in any Mario game.
• 28:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, no, nothing to do with Mario whatsoever.
• 28:39
  SPEAKER_00: I kind of like that.
• 28:39
  SPEAKER_00: I kind of respect all that, you know?
• 28:41
  SPEAKER_00: Why not?
• 28:43
  SPEAKER_00: I don't really have an issue with those, but like again, it it's only if it's only the fact that it's not.
• 28:50
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 28:50
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 28:50
  SPEAKER_00: If this was not called Thomas Brothers, it would be anything else.
• 28:54
  SPEAKER_00: It would be a fine movie.
• 28:55
  SPEAKER_00: No one would have any issue with it.
• 28:57
  SPEAKER_00: And I think people like like you did, if they rewatched it now, they'll be like, actually, yeah.
• 29:02
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, comparatively compared comparatively to the compared to the other uh like video game adaptations, it's not bad.
• 29:10
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 29:10
  SPEAKER_00: It it it's some real bad ones compared to this.
• 29:13
  SPEAKER_00: They've made a movie.
• 29:15
  SPEAKER_00: They've made quite a solid act uh action adventure, really.
• 29:19
  SPEAKER_00: It has a venture.
• 29:19
  SPEAKER_00: It's like adventure all the way through.
• 29:21
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 29:22
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 29:22
  SPEAKER_00: It's funny at times.
• 29:24
  SPEAKER_00: It's quite exciting.
• 29:25
  SPEAKER_00: Oh I guess I guess the main thing that makes it work is Alan Silvestri's soundtrack.
• 29:30
  SPEAKER_00: I think it's really good.
• 29:31
  SPEAKER_00: I think it just adds a it just kind of works in its own way.
• 29:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 29:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 29:37
  SPEAKER_00: Again, like nothing to do with Mario.
• 29:39
  SPEAKER_00: No, nothing.
• 29:39
  SPEAKER_00: Nothing.
• 29:40
  SPEAKER_00: It's just its own own thing.
• 29:42
  SPEAKER_00: But also I don't think the Mario soundtrack would like the would work in this.
• 29:47
  SPEAKER_00: You couldn't make a a live-action Mario movie, so you might as well make it completely different.
• 29:52
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 29:52
  SPEAKER_00: But imagine trying to stay true to in a live action.
• 29:57
  SPEAKER_00: Imagine trying to make it.
• 30:00
  SPEAKER_00: Have you seen the new one?
• 30:00
  SPEAKER_00: Not yet.
• 30:02
  SPEAKER_00: I've heard mixed things.
• 30:03
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I've heard it.
• 30:05
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 30:06
  SPEAKER_00: It's yeah, it's very average, apparently.
• 30:08
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it was just a disappointment.
• 30:10
  SPEAKER_00: You kind of wish it was very bad or it's just an average.
• 30:14
  SPEAKER_00: But it's made so much money.
• 30:16
  SPEAKER_00: It's made a ridiculous amount of money.
• 30:18
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, apparently it will be the highest grossing.
• 30:21
  SPEAKER_00: Animated of the year.
• 30:24
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, fair enough.
• 30:25
  SPEAKER_00: Fair enough.
• 30:27
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe I'll see it.
• 30:29
  SPEAKER_00: I'll see it at home.
• 30:29
  SPEAKER_00: I won't I won't pay to go so much.
• 30:31
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I've got all these everyman tickets that I need to get rid of.
• 30:34
  SPEAKER_00: So I I I got the Everyman membership years ago, which is seven free tickets for like 90 quid.
• 30:43
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, okay.
• 30:43
  SPEAKER_00: Which is like slightly cheaper than the Everyman's not cheap.
• 30:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, exactly.
• 30:47
  SPEAKER_00: It's like it's like, okay, and then you get a bit of discount, and also you get uh half price Mondays if you bring a friend.
• 30:52
  SPEAKER_00: So on top of that.
• 30:54
  SPEAKER_00: But because of that, I never really I've been falling behind using up all my tickets.
• 30:59
  SPEAKER_00: So I'll get to the end of the year and I'll be like, oh, I still have a few tickets left.
• 31:02
  SPEAKER_00: And if you don't renew your membership, you will lose all those tickets.
• 31:05
  SPEAKER_00: I'd be constantly trying to chase those tickets.
• 31:08
  SPEAKER_00: And now I have about 15 at the moment.
• 31:11
  SPEAKER_00: So they never run out then.
• 31:13
  SPEAKER_00: Not if you renew.
• 31:14
  SPEAKER_00: So you have to keep renewing, but then you'll get another seven.
• 31:16
  SPEAKER_00: So I have to, I'm chasing that.
• 31:18
  SPEAKER_00: And now I'm trying to get rid of those so I can finally be free of the membership.
• 31:25
  SPEAKER_00: It's so bad.
• 31:27
  SPEAKER_00: Every time uh they just add seven on, I'm like, ah.
• 31:30
  SPEAKER_00: And what's bad is also um if you if you don't renew, they they by default they actually get rid of all your tickets if you don't renew immediately.
• 31:41
  SPEAKER_00: But every time I have to beg them to kind of reactivate the tickets, and they always do, but I have to beg them.
• 31:46
  SPEAKER_00: I have to be like, oh, can you actually reactivate all the tickets, please?
• 31:50
  SPEAKER_00: And they're just like yes, even though in their fine print, it's like you will lose the tickets if you don't renew.
• 31:54
  SPEAKER_00: What is it to them?
• 31:55
  SPEAKER_00: It's like it's one person, isn't it?
• 31:57
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, one person.
• 31:58
  SPEAKER_00: And they'll get my custom.
• 31:59
  SPEAKER_00: They'll get 90 quid eight.
• 32:01
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, exactly.
• 32:02
  SPEAKER_00: So that's quite funny.
• 32:04
  SPEAKER_00: Um although I did I did try to use two for John Wick the other day in the Everyman in Broadgate, and uh the woman thought I was giving her a comp card rather than membership card.
• 32:16
  SPEAKER_00: A comp card is just the card which says two free tickets.
• 32:19
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 32:19
  SPEAKER_00: And she took it and gave me g booked the tickets and then just threw my comp threw my membership card in the bin.
• 32:27
  SPEAKER_00: And then and I was like, oh my membership uh did you did you throw what do you do with my membership card and she was like, oh I I I thought it was a comp card, I threw it a bin.
• 32:35
  SPEAKER_00: So she just got it out and it was it was fine because there's nothing else in the bin.
• 32:38
  SPEAKER_00: And then she was like, oh yeah, in that case, I won't I won't take the card I won't take the tickets up.
• 32:45
  SPEAKER_00: I just got two free tickets, and just throw it in the bin.
• 32:50
  SPEAKER_00: So I thought I'm happy to get those, but also I want to get rid of these tickets.
• 32:55
  SPEAKER_00: So that was two free tickets to dumb away.
• 32:57
  SPEAKER_00: That was quite funny, really.
• 32:59
  SPEAKER_00: I love that you're never gonna catch it.
• 33:01
  SPEAKER_00: I will know eventually.
• 33:02
  SPEAKER_00: I saw Dungeon Dragons last week.
• 33:04
  SPEAKER_00: How was that?
• 33:05
  SPEAKER_00: It was good.
• 33:05
  SPEAKER_00: It was good, it was enjoyable.
• 33:07
  SPEAKER_00: It wasn't it wasn't ever amazing, I think.
• 33:09
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 33:09
  SPEAKER_00: It was like, at max, a good film.
• 33:11
  SPEAKER_00: Is it too meta?
• 33:13
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 33:13
  SPEAKER_00: That's my concern.
• 33:14
  SPEAKER_00: No, I don't think it is actually very meta at all.
• 33:16
  SPEAKER_00: It's quite marvelousque.
• 33:17
  SPEAKER_00: It's quite it has a view quipp quipp.
• 33:20
  SPEAKER_00: No, yeah.
• 33:20
  SPEAKER_00: I think it's quite straight.
• 33:22
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 33:23
  SPEAKER_00: It's all right.
• 33:24
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 33:24
  SPEAKER_00: It's got really good reviews.
• 33:26
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 33:26
  SPEAKER_00: I think it it is uh it feels like a a solid Marvel movie, really.
• 33:30
  SPEAKER_00: It's like it's it like 95% or something like that, something crazy.
• 33:33
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 33:34
  SPEAKER_00: It's really hard.
• 33:34
  SPEAKER_00: But my all the reviews are like three and a half stars.
• 33:38
  SPEAKER_00: So it's like it's everyone thinks it's a three and a half star movie or B a better.
• 33:42
  SPEAKER_00: That is the issue with the Tomato scores.
• 33:44
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 33:44
  SPEAKER_00: And I agree.
• 33:45
  SPEAKER_00: I think it it c I j I I was watching it thinking, oh, this c this I wish this was better at every point, but it is fine.
• 33:53
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 33:53
  SPEAKER_00: I w I wish there were just more a better, a smarter plot or smarter smarter writing.
• 33:58
  SPEAKER_00: But it just Because those guys did Game Knight and that Game Night was.
• 34:01
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, Game Knight's so good.
• 34:02
  SPEAKER_00: I don't think it's as good as Game Knight.
• 34:03
  SPEAKER_00: I'm I think it was interesting.
• 34:05
  SPEAKER_00: I wasn't expecting it to be as good as Game Knight.
• 34:07
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not probably not rushing to re-watch Dungeon Dragons at any point because nothing in it was like, oh, I really want to re-watch that again.
• 34:13
  SPEAKER_00: But it's got to be better than the original Dungeons Dragons.
• 34:16
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
• 34:16
  SPEAKER_00: I I yeah.
• 34:17
  SPEAKER_00: It's it's generally a good movie and it's a fun watch.
• 34:20
  SPEAKER_00: That was my introduction to the whole world of Dungeons and Dragons was the original movie.
• 34:24
  SPEAKER_00: That's interesting.
• 34:25
  SPEAKER_00: That's an interesting way to that that's what I thought it was.
• 34:28
  SPEAKER_00: How old were you when you saw that?
• 34:29
  SPEAKER_00: Uh whenever it came out, so I was like 12.
• 34:32
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, 2000 or something, right?
• 34:33
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I was like 11 or 12.
• 34:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, it was 2000, I think.
• 34:36
  SPEAKER_00: So I was just like, this is not my thing.
• 34:38
  SPEAKER_00: Is Jeremy Irons in it?
• 34:40
  SPEAKER_00: I can't remember.
• 34:41
  SPEAKER_00: I just remember Marlon Waynes is in it.
• 34:42
  SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah, Marlon Waynes.
• 34:44
  SPEAKER_00: The only character I remember.
• 34:45
  SPEAKER_00: See, that looks much that's that film looks like ass now.
• 34:50
  SPEAKER_00: Right, it just looks su uh such yeah, it just it just doesn't look good now.
• 34:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 34:56
  SPEAKER_00: Films like that, they're just they they they just were terrible.
• 35:01
  SPEAKER_00: But speaking of those, like it's interesting because you you are a real gamer in terms of like board games and like video games.
• 35:09
  SPEAKER_00: So is that kind of what uh like did you see the Super Mario movie when you were young?
• 35:14
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I I had on video when I was five.
• 35:16
  SPEAKER_00: Oh you had it on video?
• 35:17
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, five, I think.
• 35:18
  SPEAKER_00: Oh right.
• 35:19
  SPEAKER_00: I played a lot of Super Mario when we got on the SNES.
• 35:22
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, me too.
• 35:23
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 35:23
  SPEAKER_00: I had Super Mario World, it was probably my favorite, and Mario 3 was decent.
• 35:28
  SPEAKER_00: Super Mario World is still my favorite game to this day.
• 35:30
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's great.
• 35:31
  SPEAKER_00: It's so good.
• 35:32
  SPEAKER_00: There's just so many different things in it.
• 35:33
  SPEAKER_00: Cape.
• 35:34
  SPEAKER_00: When you first learned how to fly as a five-year-old, I couldn't crack it for ages.
• 35:38
  SPEAKER_00: And I was like, oh, you know that's because it doesn't teach you how to fly.
• 35:41
  SPEAKER_00: No, it doesn't teach you anything.
• 35:43
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 35:43
  SPEAKER_00: I'm surprised anyone could learn how to fly there.
• 35:45
  SPEAKER_00: It's so unintuitive.
• 35:47
  SPEAKER_00: It's not yeah, because in Mario 3 you just like flap up and down on the uh is it the raccoon tail.
• 35:53
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
• 35:54
  SPEAKER_00: I've never really gone through Mario 3.
• 35:56
  SPEAKER_00: It's good.
• 35:57
  SPEAKER_00: It's good.
• 35:57
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, like I'm sure it is now, yeah.
• 35:59
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 36:00
  SPEAKER_00: And now like I've now I've got the switch and I go play back and play all the old like emulator versions on there.
• 36:05
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they're good.
• 36:06
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 36:06
  SPEAKER_00: Good games.
• 36:07
  SPEAKER_00: They're really good.
• 36:08
  SPEAKER_00: What other Mario games does I have?
• 36:10
  SPEAKER_00: Uh I had Mario Paint.
• 36:16
  SPEAKER_00: What do you have to do?
• 36:17
  SPEAKER_00: Just like just paint them.
• 36:18
  SPEAKER_00: You can just do whatever you wanted.
• 36:19
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's not even a game.
• 36:20
  SPEAKER_00: It's just it's just software, really.
• 36:23
  SPEAKER_00: It's just called Mario Paint.
• 36:24
  SPEAKER_00: Sticking his name on it.
• 36:25
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 36:25
  SPEAKER_00: Well, it was Yoshi's Island.
• 36:26
  SPEAKER_00: Yoshi's Island was a really good one.
• 36:28
  SPEAKER_00: That's fun with a gun.
• 36:29
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 36:29
  SPEAKER_00: That was the other one I I used to rent that a lot, I remember.
• 36:32
  SPEAKER_00: Which is weird.
• 36:33

• 38:59
  SPEAKER_00: Can't make a game to that schedule.
• 39:01
  SPEAKER_00: I'm surpr I'm kind of surprised that they didn't do some kind of like tie into this Mario game uh movie.

• 42:25
  SPEAKER_00: So I think the BFI funded sponsored them and funded that.

  SPEAKER_00: Very normal.
• 47:22
  SPEAKER_00: Very normal.
• 47:23
  SPEAKER_00: I always veer off.
• 47:24
  SPEAKER_00: It's me going on to like different topics.
• 47:27
  SPEAKER_00: Um we'll talk through the movie then.
• 47:29
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 47:30
  SPEAKER_00: Um Honestly, there's not a huge amount to talk through, but like we'll talk we'll kind of go through it.
• 47:34
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 47:35
  SPEAKER_00: Um Yes.
• 47:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, let's do it.
• 47:36
  SPEAKER_00: Let's analyze it.
• 47:38
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so it opens opens with like this ominous theme music.
• 47:42
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 47:43
  SPEAKER_00: And then it like kind of cuts into like the sort of Mario style music.
• 47:48
  SPEAKER_00: It like fades into that.
• 47:50
  SPEAKER_00: So it's weird because it's like it wants you to think it's creepy, but then it also doesn't it doesn't it doesn't really know what it wants.
• 47:55
  SPEAKER_00: It doesn't commit.
• 47:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
• 47:57
  SPEAKER_00: And then it goes to a voiceover from uh from uh who does a voiceover?
• 48:00
  SPEAKER_00: It's quite a random actor.
• 48:03
  SPEAKER_00: But the actor, yeah.
• 48:06
  SPEAKER_00: It's someone big.
• 48:07
  SPEAKER_00: I was surprised that, oh, that person's doing the voiceover, but isn't it?
• 48:12
  SPEAKER_00: Um, it is someone quite interesting.
• 48:15
  SPEAKER_00: It's someone very interesting.
• 48:17
  SPEAKER_00: It's quite someone quite interesting.
• 48:18
  SPEAKER_00: It's like what It makes no sense.
• 48:20
  SPEAKER_00: Why have they done the voiceover?
• 48:22
  SPEAKER_00: Where is it?
• 48:23
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm trying to remember.
• 48:24
  SPEAKER_00: Dan Castellonetti.
• 48:26
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's it.
• 48:26
  SPEAKER_00: Homer Simpson.
• 48:27
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, Homer Simpson's doing it.
• 48:28
  SPEAKER_00: And it's like he has nothing else to do in a movie.
• 48:31
  SPEAKER_00: No, he just he has a voiceover for about 30 seconds at the start and then never again.
• 48:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 48:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 48:37
  SPEAKER_00: That was definitely added in post that.
• 48:39
  SPEAKER_00: Do you think so?
• 48:40
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it just feels like someone went, oh, we have to kind of explain dinosaurs.
• 48:45
  SPEAKER_00: People are like, what is this?
• 48:46
  SPEAKER_00: I don't understand.
• 48:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 48:48
  SPEAKER_00: There's not not enough exposition in this movie.
• 48:50
  SPEAKER_00: No, there's actually a a a a massive lack of exposition for the first like 25 minutes that about what will happen.
• 48:59
  SPEAKER_00: There's a lot of exposition about Mario and Luigi's life, which is quite nice, but it it does it does start very slowly.
• 49:05
  SPEAKER_00: It does, yeah.
• 49:09
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, the start is not really anything.
• 49:11
  SPEAKER_00: Nothing's happening.
• 49:11
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 49:12
  SPEAKER_00: Um there's a few things being dropped, but not really.
• 49:14
  SPEAKER_00: It can get it could skip a lot of the start.
• 49:18
  SPEAKER_00: But also, like they do the voiceover.
• 49:20
  SPEAKER_00: He does the voiceover, but it doesn't explain who the baby is getting dropped off.
• 49:24
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 49:24
  SPEAKER_00: So at at first you're like, oh, that's Mario.
• 49:26
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 49:27
  SPEAKER_00: I wrote that I even wrote down I don't remember Mario being in an egg.
• 49:30
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 49:32
  SPEAKER_00: It ain't.
• 49:32
  SPEAKER_00: It it's not the princess.
• 49:35
  SPEAKER_00: So it's the princess.
• 49:35
  SPEAKER_00: It's 20 years ago in Brooklyn.
• 49:37
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 49:38
  SPEAKER_00: She's left to these nuns.
• 49:40
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 49:42
  SPEAKER_00: Who take her in and the egg hatches and you see the baby born.
• 49:47
  SPEAKER_00: And they don't question that.
• 49:48
  SPEAKER_00: They don't question it, no.
• 49:49
  SPEAKER_00: It's like, yeah.
• 49:50
  SPEAKER_00: It's normal.
• 49:50
  SPEAKER_00: For some reason it's normal in this.
• 49:52
  SPEAKER_00: Well they make the news at any point.
• 49:54
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, it's a baby who was born out of an egg just dropped our doorstep.
• 49:58
  SPEAKER_00: Let's just keep that under abs forever.
• 50:02
  SPEAKER_00: And then it yeah, i I wrote down why is Mario an egg, because that's not in the Mario Law.
• 50:10
  SPEAKER_00: Although actually, is it in the Mario Law?
• 50:13
  SPEAKER_00: It's in Yoshi's Island, actually, isn't it?
• 50:16
  SPEAKER_00: It comes from an egg, doesn't it?
• 50:17
  SPEAKER_00: He gets hatch from an egg, isn't it?
• 50:19
  SPEAKER_00: No, wow.
• 50:20
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 50:20
  SPEAKER_00: Because when you're playing as Yoshi, you run along and then you um you try and save so when you save him, when he like falls away or whatever, you save him by like breaking the egg.
• 50:30
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 50:31
  SPEAKER_00: So maybe he is.
• 50:32
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe.
• 50:32
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 50:34
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know either.
• 50:35
  SPEAKER_00: I don't really remember, but like, yeah.
• 50:36
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe yeah.
• 50:38
  SPEAKER_00: I feel like Yoshi's Island is not a canon.
• 50:41
  SPEAKER_00: I think everything hatches from eggs in Yoshi's Island.
• 50:45
  SPEAKER_00: Um But then yeah, so it comes to present day and uh Marion, you see Marion and Luigi, they're broke plumbers.
• 50:51
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 50:52
  SPEAKER_00: They're down on the luck.
• 50:53
  SPEAKER_00: Down on their luck because they're a fun story in that sense.
• 50:55
  SPEAKER_00: It's like oh yeah, they're just shitty.
• 50:56
  SPEAKER_00: Their lives are so shitty.
• 50:58
  SPEAKER_00: It's so bad, yeah.
• 50:59
  SPEAKER_00: They're just Luigi's obsessed with like mystery.
• 51:01
  SPEAKER_00: Mystery UFOs.
• 51:02
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, mystery UFO UFO programs.
• 51:05
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 51:05
  SPEAKER_00: Um and they got rivals with their rivals are Scapelli, who are like these big plumbers.
• 51:12
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 51:12
  SPEAKER_00: I guess.
• 51:13
  SPEAKER_00: I had no idea.
• 51:14
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I couldn't tell who Scapelli was.
• 51:16
  SPEAKER_00: It means like I thought it was the the mayor at some point.
• 51:20
  SPEAKER_00: Is he it's nothing to the story.
• 51:22
  SPEAKER_00: It doesn't need to be in there.
• 51:23
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 51:23
  SPEAKER_00: There's a lot of setup for Scapelli.
• 51:25
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 51:25
  SPEAKER_00: Uh which will pay off eventually.
• 51:27
  SPEAKER_00: I mean not really.
• 51:29
  SPEAKER_00: It doesn't need to be.
• 51:30
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 51:31
  SPEAKER_00: Like they could have very well done that with just Cooper could have done the stuff that Scapelli does.
• 51:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 51:36
  SPEAKER_00: Um And then you see Daisy, you meet Daisy, and she's dig she's like um uh what's the term?

  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, she's looking they're looking for dinosaur bones in this in this construction site where the sc Scapellis are actually like build on it, however.
• 52:06
  SPEAKER_00: Again, makes no sense because I thought they were plumbers.
• 52:08
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 52:09
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know if they are plumbers.
• 52:10
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know what they are.
• 52:11
  SPEAKER_00: I thought Scapelli was like a mayor or something.
• 52:15
  SPEAKER_00: I thought he was the mayor.
• 52:16
  SPEAKER_00: I thought he was the rival plumbing company.
• 52:19
  SPEAKER_00: Trevor Burrus, Jr.
• 52:19
  SPEAKER_00: I thought he Yeah.
• 52:20
  SPEAKER_00: I can't tell, actually.
• 52:22
  SPEAKER_00: They never really make it clear.
• 52:23
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 52:24
  SPEAKER_00: Scapelli.
• 52:26
  SPEAKER_00: Scapelli gets there first, basically.
• 52:28
  SPEAKER_00: So Mario Mario and Luigi are called out on a job to go there.
• 52:31
  SPEAKER_00: And Scapelli.
• 52:32
  SPEAKER_00: And Scapelli gets there first.
• 52:34

• 52:36
  SPEAKER_00: You don't call two plumbers out there.
• 52:39
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.

  SPEAKER_00: I didn't realise she was even in stuff back as far back as this.
• 58:10
  SPEAKER_00: No, me neither.
• 58:12
  SPEAKER_00: So funny.
• 58:12
  SPEAKER_00: Because I think of her as being from uh um what's it called?
• 58:21
  SPEAKER_00: Why am I forgetting everything?
• 58:24
  SPEAKER_00: Uh Harry Potter?
• 58:25

• 58:26
  SPEAKER_00: Um Killing Eve.

  SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah, she's Aunt Pretunia.
• 58:45
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 58:46
  SPEAKER_00: I didn't even think of her as that.
• 58:48
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 58:48
  SPEAKER_00: I've not gone back and watched Harry Potter in a long time, do I?
• 58:52
  SPEAKER_00: I watched them all relatively recently, like five years ago.
• 58:56
  SPEAKER_00: Because I'd never seen them all properly.
• 58:59
  SPEAKER_00: I saw them when they came out and then I never went back to them.
• 59:01
  SPEAKER_00: They're not very good.
• 59:03
  SPEAKER_00: No, I don't know.
• 59:04
  SPEAKER_00: They're not very good.
• 59:05
  SPEAKER_00: Uh some of the films are okay occasionally, but even the good ones aren't that good.
• 59:12
  SPEAKER_00: And the last four I really hate.
• 59:14
  SPEAKER_00: I just can't.
• 59:15
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, interesting.
• 59:15
  SPEAKER_00: I remember enjoying the last ones more than the first ones.
• 59:18
  SPEAKER_00: I think they're quite boring and bleak.
• 59:20
  SPEAKER_00: And I just can't I I enjoy the first four quite a lot more than the last one.
• 59:25
  SPEAKER_00: Well, number three is still my favourite.
• 59:26
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, number three is obviously Quaron, so he knows how to do it.
• 59:29
  SPEAKER_00: He knows what to do.
• 59:30
  SPEAKER_00: But I hate the time travel stuff.
• 59:32
  SPEAKER_00: I hate films where it's like, oh, it was you who did that thing earlier in the movie.
• 59:36
  SPEAKER_00: I shudder.
• 59:37
  SPEAKER_00: Obviously.
• 59:38
  SPEAKER_00: I hate that.
• 59:39
  SPEAKER_00: It doesn't make any sense.
• 59:40
  SPEAKER_00: None of it makes any sense.
• 59:43
  SPEAKER_00: So nothing mattered.
• 59:44
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 59:45
  SPEAKER_00: Nothing could have changed that.
• 59:47
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, okay.
• 59:47
  SPEAKER_00: So no no one had any agency.
• 59:49
  SPEAKER_00: Cool.
• 59:50
  SPEAKER_00: Doesn't make any sense at all.
• 59:53
  SPEAKER_00: I like it when they time travel, but you can't change anything in the past.
• 59:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 59:56
  SPEAKER_00: So it has to always happen.
• 59:58
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 59:58
  SPEAKER_00: It just has to be this way.
• 59:59
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 59:59
  SPEAKER_00: Great.
• 1:00:00
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:00:00

• 1:00:04
  SPEAKER_00: Um yeah, Fiona Shaw.
• 1:00:06
  SPEAKER_00: Fiona Shaw's in it, yeah.
• 1:00:08

  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I think Lena is one of the I think Lena is the in Super Mario World, I think it's the female It's the girl character girl boss in one of them.
• 1:00:26
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 1:00:26
  SPEAKER_00: Girl boss.
• 1:00:28

  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:00:34
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.

  SPEAKER_00: That makes sense.
• 1:00:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:00:36
  SPEAKER_00: I'm surprised they didn't make Daisy Peach.
• 1:00:39
  SPEAKER_00: I don't really understand why.
• 1:00:40
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:00:40
  SPEAKER_00: Because Daisy is a character, but like she's not one of the bigger.
• 1:00:44
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe because Daisy's a woman's name.
• 1:00:46
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:00:47
  SPEAKER_00: Peach is less of one.
• 1:00:48
  SPEAKER_00: They just call it.
• 1:00:49
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.

  SPEAKER_00: That's the way it's like, I'm Mario.

  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:01:23
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:01:23
  SPEAKER_00: The other comedy, it still works.
• 1:01:25
  SPEAKER_00: It's not like terrible.
• 1:01:29
  SPEAKER_00: I realize I keep going off track, but like uh Yeah, so Mario that Daisy's digging for the bones.
• 1:01:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 1:01:37
  SPEAKER_00: The co the goons go after her.

  SPEAKER_00: But yeah, they're wrong woman.
• 1:01:43
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they get the wrong woman, but they go they follow her, but they like but m Luigi helps her by taking her, like giving her a ride.
• 1:01:50
  SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah, that bit, yeah.

  SPEAKER_00: Which is how they first meet, and then they um he's like obsessed with yeah, he's obsessed with her.
• 1:01:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:01:57
  SPEAKER_00: He's he's he's unable to talk.
• 1:01:59
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:02:00
  SPEAKER_00: But okay, because they're young and hot.
• 1:02:04
  SPEAKER_00: He ends up asking her on a date.
• 1:02:05
  SPEAKER_00: They go on a uh they go on a double date to an Italian restaurant, because of course.
• 1:02:10
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:02:10
  SPEAKER_00: Mario's got a girlfriend as well.
• 1:02:12
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 1:02:12
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 1:02:12
  SPEAKER_00: Uh Daniella.
• 1:02:14
  SPEAKER_00: Daniela, yeah.
• 1:02:16
  SPEAKER_00: Could have been Peach.
• 1:02:17
  SPEAKER_00: Could have been Peach.
• 1:02:19
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:02:20
  SPEAKER_00: Could have been Peach.
• 1:02:21
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:02:22
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 1:02:23
  SPEAKER_00: But having said all that, I think the all the female characters are reasonably strong in this movie.
• 1:02:28
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:02:28
  SPEAKER_00: And I think I have no issue with the actual characters, it's just the name.
• 1:02:31
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I think I've read somewhere that they they specifically added more female characters and made them quite uh 3D.
• 1:02:37
  SPEAKER_00: And I think that was quite quite a rare move in 1993.
• 1:02:40
  SPEAKER_00: In 93, yeah, definitely.
• 1:02:42
  SPEAKER_00: You have quite a lot of good female characters in it.
• 1:02:44
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:02:44
  SPEAKER_00: Who are quite strong and capable.
• 1:02:46
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's it's Daisy, Lena, and and uh Danielle.
• 1:02:49
  SPEAKER_00: Daniela.
• 1:02:50
  SPEAKER_00: Big Bertha.
• 1:02:51
  SPEAKER_00: Big Bertha.
• 1:02:52
  SPEAKER_00: Big Bertha, which we should go on to later.
• 1:02:54
  SPEAKER_00: Great, amazing character to be honest.
• 1:02:57
  SPEAKER_00: Fucking love Big Bertha.
• 1:02:59
  SPEAKER_00: She's great.
• 1:03:00
  SPEAKER_00: She's so cool.
• 1:03:04
  SPEAKER_00: So basically what happens is they go on the dumpled date, but then uh Daniela gets kidnapped and Daisy gets kidnapped as well.
• 1:03:11
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 1:03:12
  SPEAKER_00: Um no, sorry, Daisy gets kidnapped later.
• 1:03:15
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 1:03:15
  SPEAKER_00: Daniela gets kidnapped first and then.
• 1:03:17
  SPEAKER_00: She gets kidnapped first and they they don't So this is one issue, like they don't even think about it.
• 1:03:22
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 1:03:22
  SPEAKER_00: No, they just see it home.
• 1:03:24

• 1:03:39
  SPEAKER_00: They run to they run to Mario to say, can you help us fix this?
• 1:03:42
  SPEAKER_00: That was a bit I just never could understand what was going on in that scene.
• 1:03:46
  SPEAKER_00: Just like It's very chaotic.
• 1:03:47
  SPEAKER_00: As a kid, I was like, what the hell has happened here?
• 1:03:49
  SPEAKER_00: Who who are those people?
• 1:03:51
  SPEAKER_00: They just run off.
• 1:03:53
  SPEAKER_00: It makes no sense, yeah.
• 1:03:55
  SPEAKER_00: That whole plot thread just never made any sense as a kid.
• 1:03:59
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:04:00
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:04:01
  SPEAKER_00: I mean they could have had it that the four of them just went there.
• 1:04:03
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:04:04
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:04:04
  SPEAKER_00: No, discapellies.
• 1:04:06
  SPEAKER_00: Um get to do some plumbing.
• 1:04:07
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:04:08
  SPEAKER_00: You get to do some hardcore plumbing.
• 1:04:10
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:04:11
  SPEAKER_00: But they basically they end up jumping through the like the rock sand porcelain thing.
• 1:04:20
  SPEAKER_00: Um but I wrote down here there's so much ADR in this scene.
• 1:04:24
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
• 1:04:24
  SPEAKER_00: Because it's all like it's all off-screen.
• 1:04:26
  SPEAKER_00: You can just hear them talking, but you can see you can tell that it's all like recorded separately.
• 1:04:30
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:04:30
  SPEAKER_00: So you can't see them.
• 1:04:31
  SPEAKER_00: You don't see their them talking, you just hear it.
• 1:04:34
  SPEAKER_00: Magic of the thing.
• 1:04:34
  SPEAKER_00: It's really bad.
• 1:04:35
  SPEAKER_00: Magic of ADR.
• 1:04:37
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 1:04:37
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:04:38
  SPEAKER_00: Um why not?
• 1:04:40
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:04:40
  SPEAKER_00: This is like still before the film has properly started.
• 1:04:43
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's true.
• 1:04:44
  SPEAKER_00: This whole section, yeah, you don't need it.
• 1:04:46
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:04:47
  SPEAKER_00: The weakest part of the film, definitely.
• 1:04:49
  SPEAKER_00: It's definitely the weakest part.
• 1:04:50
  SPEAKER_00: But you find out that um basically 65 million years ago, uh the dinosaurs were exiled to this other world.
• 1:04:57
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 1:04:58
  SPEAKER_00: Um and Cooper wants the King Cooper wants the meteorite back from Daisy.
• 1:05:04
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 1:05:04
  SPEAKER_00: Uh because that will help.
• 1:05:05
  SPEAKER_00: The rock.
• 1:05:06
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:05:06
  SPEAKER_00: The rock.
• 1:05:08
  SPEAKER_00: He's the only one that calls it a meteorite, and everyone else calls it a rock.
• 1:05:11
  SPEAKER_00: Where's the rock?
• 1:05:14
  SPEAKER_00: But basically, by getting that back, he'll merge the two worlds again.
• 1:05:18
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:05:19
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 1:05:19
  SPEAKER_00: Which is honestly like fair enough to him.
• 1:05:21
  SPEAKER_00: Fair enough, yeah.
• 1:05:23
  SPEAKER_00: It's been speculated for 65 million years.
• 1:05:25
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he hates it.
• 1:05:26
  SPEAKER_00: It's horrible.
• 1:05:26
  SPEAKER_00: I wouldn't want to live in that world.
• 1:05:27
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 1:05:28
  SPEAKER_00: There's fungus everywhere.
• 1:05:30
  SPEAKER_00: Goddamn fungus.
• 1:05:31
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, he's the reason for the fungus.
• 1:05:33
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, he is the reason for the fungus.
• 1:05:34
  SPEAKER_00: He should probably shouldn't have made all the fungus.
• 1:05:36
  SPEAKER_00: In hindsight.
• 1:05:37
  SPEAKER_00: In hindsight, yeah, and he could just reverse it.
• 1:05:39
  SPEAKER_00: I love the campaign posters of Cooper where he's holding the baby.
• 1:05:45
  SPEAKER_00: It's so cool.
• 1:05:46
  SPEAKER_00: That kind of stuff.
• 1:05:47
  SPEAKER_00: They put a lot of detail in.
• 1:05:48
  SPEAKER_00: They put a lot of detail in that.
• 1:05:50
  SPEAKER_00: You know what it reminds me of, actually, is um it's like it's two movies.
• 1:05:53
  SPEAKER_00: It reminds me of Judge Dredd.
• 1:05:54
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, Judge Dredd.
• 1:05:55
  SPEAKER_00: It's a better Judge Dredd.
• 1:05:56

• 1:05:57
  SPEAKER_00: Judge Dredd.

  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:07:33
  SPEAKER_00: For plumbing or something, they say.
• 1:07:35
  SPEAKER_00: I can't even remember.
• 1:07:37
  SPEAKER_00: It's not that important.
• 1:07:39
  SPEAKER_00: They just get arrested.
• 1:07:40
  SPEAKER_00: I think it might be because of Toad.
• 1:07:42
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:07:42
  SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah, because he's uh he's protesting.
• 1:07:45

  SPEAKER_00: Mojo Nixon.
• 1:07:56
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, yeah.
• 1:07:56
  SPEAKER_00: It's such a random casting.
• 1:07:57
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:07:58
  SPEAKER_00: Love it.
• 1:08:00
  SPEAKER_00: Why not?
• 1:08:01
  SPEAKER_00: At no point does he ever look like Toad the character.
• 1:08:04
  SPEAKER_00: No, no, not even close.
• 1:08:06
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I can see why if you're as a Mara fan, you'd be really angry at like this Toad character and what happened to him?
• 1:08:15
  SPEAKER_00: Toad doesn't look like the character, uh Lena doesn't look the character, Iggy and Spike don't look like the character.
• 1:08:21
  SPEAKER_00: Bowser doesn't look well.
• 1:08:23
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, well here's the thing King Cooper is the original name for Bowser.
• 1:08:29
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:08:29
  SPEAKER_00: In the Japanese version.
• 1:08:31
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 1:08:32
  SPEAKER_00: But there's also a Bowser in this.
• 1:08:35
  SPEAKER_00: Who's the Bowser?
• 1:08:36
  SPEAKER_00: Bowser is Daisy's father.
• 1:08:37
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, B that's Bowser?
• 1:08:39
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's Bowser.
• 1:08:40
  SPEAKER_00: Really?
• 1:08:40
  SPEAKER_00: That's King Bowser.
• 1:08:41
  SPEAKER_00: They say that.
• 1:08:42
  SPEAKER_00: I didn't know that.
• 1:08:43
  SPEAKER_00: They're listed as Bowser on this.
• 1:08:45
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:08:45
  SPEAKER_00: That that is wild, to be honest.
• 1:08:47
  SPEAKER_00: Which is weird.
• 1:08:49
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:08:50
  SPEAKER_00: So wait, Cooper.
• 1:08:51
  SPEAKER_00: There's Cooper and Bowser, but they're the same person.
• 1:08:53
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:08:54
  SPEAKER_00: But they're also like rivals in this.
• 1:08:56
  SPEAKER_00: Classic.
• 1:08:56
  SPEAKER_00: Classic translation madness.
• 1:08:59
  SPEAKER_00: It's like how Street Fighter, every all the characters.
• 1:09:04
  SPEAKER_00: That's been on this as well.
• 1:09:05
  SPEAKER_00: That's been on the podcast.
• 1:09:05
  SPEAKER_00: Athena could only have defended that.
• 1:09:07
  SPEAKER_00: I would have defended Street Fighter to us.
• 1:09:09
  SPEAKER_00: You would have.
• 1:09:09
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:09:10
  SPEAKER_00: Fun fun.
• 1:09:11
  SPEAKER_00: It's bad, yeah, but it's fun.
• 1:09:13
  SPEAKER_00: It's not.
• 1:09:14
  SPEAKER_00: When was the last time you saw it?
• 1:09:16
  SPEAKER_00: Uh two years ago.
• 1:09:17
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 1:09:17
  SPEAKER_00: Fair enough.
• 1:09:18
  SPEAKER_00: That was the last time I saw it.
• 1:09:19
  SPEAKER_00: To us, I just enjoy bad movies quite a lot.
• 1:09:22
  SPEAKER_00: Fair enough.
• 1:09:22
  SPEAKER_00: I enjoy them more than like the average bad movie from like the noughties or the tens.
• 1:09:27
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:09:27
  SPEAKER_00: The average bad bad movie from the 2010s, terrible.
• 1:09:31
  SPEAKER_00: Unwatchable.
• 1:09:32
  SPEAKER_00: To be honest, yeah, these are much more watchable.
• 1:09:34
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:09:34
  SPEAKER_00: There's something there's always like at least some kind of coherence to plot, at least.
• 1:09:38
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:09:39
  SPEAKER_00: And the like the fight scenes are fine.
• 1:09:42
  SPEAKER_00: Ryu kicks ass.
• 1:09:44
  SPEAKER_00: She shredded down.
• 1:09:45
  SPEAKER_00: It is fun, but it's just bad.
• 1:09:47
  SPEAKER_00: No, it is a bad movie.
• 1:09:48
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 1:09:48
  SPEAKER_00: It's definitely not a good movie.
• 1:09:50
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:09:50
  SPEAKER_00: But I don't hate watching it.
• 1:09:52
  SPEAKER_00: Whereas the right thing I'd rather watch that than The Street Fighter from 2009 or something.
• 1:09:57
  SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
• 1:09:57
  SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
• 1:10:00
  SPEAKER_00: But then yeah, so basically they're all in jail, and then this is the scene where we get Mario Mario, Luigi Mario.
• 1:10:06
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's a great scene.
• 1:10:07
  SPEAKER_00: Fantastic scene.
• 1:10:08
  SPEAKER_00: And then Cooper King Cooper pretends to be.
• 1:10:11
  SPEAKER_00: That's a fun scene.
• 1:10:11
  SPEAKER_00: He doesn't need to do that, but he's not.
• 1:10:13
  SPEAKER_00: No, it's cool, because then you get you get to understand him as a character.
• 1:10:17
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and he's like, he calls himself an evil son of a bitch.
• 1:10:21
  SPEAKER_00: They're both like slagging him off as well.
• 1:10:23
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he goes them and slacking him up and starts like beating the shit out of him.
• 1:10:28
  SPEAKER_00: It was great movie.
• 1:10:30
  SPEAKER_00: And then he sends them to the uh machine where he like Yeah, the evil.
• 1:10:34
  SPEAKER_00: Well, what was the name of the law firm he pretends to be at?
• 1:10:37
  SPEAKER_00: It's just a really it's like something Sauros and Co.
• 1:10:43
  SPEAKER_00: It was something really long, wasn't it?
• 1:10:45
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, long, but one of the names.
• 1:10:46
  SPEAKER_00: It's like it sounds like a normal law firm, except one of the names sounds like a dinosaur.
• 1:10:52
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:10:54
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:10:54
  SPEAKER_00: Because we also learned that Cooper evolved from a T-Rex.
• 1:10:58
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, yes, he did.
• 1:11:00
  SPEAKER_00: Which is why he's kind of like this, the whole he's like kind of got his arms shorter a little bit the whole time.
• 1:11:04
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he's a T-Rex, just a classic T-Rex.
• 1:11:07
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:11:07
  SPEAKER_00: But we um Cooper de-evolves Toad.
• 1:11:10
  SPEAKER_00: Umba, yeah.
• 1:11:14
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:11:15
  SPEAKER_00: Uh which is where you get He looks insane, but I love it.
• 1:11:20
  SPEAKER_00: All the Goomba design is amazing.
• 1:11:22
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's really cool.
• 1:11:23
  SPEAKER_00: Really off-putting.
• 1:11:24
  SPEAKER_00: So it's like a tiny, tiny head, but like massive body.
• 1:11:27
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, mas huge body.
• 1:11:29
  SPEAKER_00: Amazing like for aesthetics.
• 1:11:30
  SPEAKER_00: They're about like two or three feet above everyone else, aren't they?
• 1:11:33
  SPEAKER_00: And some of them have different shaped faces.
• 1:11:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, some of them have got like crocodile faces, and then some of them have got like round.
• 1:11:40
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know, it's like almost monster-esque sort of faces.
• 1:11:43
  SPEAKER_00: But like Toad is the fa my favourite looking one because he's so he's so dim as well.
• 1:11:48
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he's just so confused.
• 1:11:49
  SPEAKER_00: I I love those kind of characters where it's like really dumb but nice.
• 1:11:53
  SPEAKER_00: It's like puppy dog almost.
• 1:11:55
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:11:56
  SPEAKER_00: Um they but they'd knock him they end up knocking Cooper into the machine.
• 1:12:03
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 1:12:03
  SPEAKER_00: And then they what they do is like they put him back one one one one evolution.
• 1:12:08
  SPEAKER_00: One evolution, but it doesn't make a difference to him.
• 1:12:10
  SPEAKER_00: No, it doesn't really.
• 1:12:11
  SPEAKER_00: Which I don't understand why that happened.
• 1:12:12
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:12:13
  SPEAKER_00: I thought they were actually doing something to him.
• 1:12:15
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know if he escaped in time or something.
• 1:12:16
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, maybe.
• 1:12:18
  SPEAKER_00: Um But yeah, like at this point you uh they steal a police car, they go on a chase.
• 1:12:24
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:12:25
  SPEAKER_00: That's a really good action.
• 1:12:26
  SPEAKER_00: It's a really good set piece.
• 1:12:29
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:12:29
  SPEAKER_00: And the whole argument about which way they should go.
• 1:12:31
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:12:32
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:12:32
  SPEAKER_00: Because you get to see like the whole uh world as well.
• 1:12:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:12:36
  SPEAKER_00: Um they're driving through.
• 1:12:38
  SPEAKER_00: And the weird thing is they have those police cars, but they've all got the um uh like the rails attached to the crazy.
• 1:12:43
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they're attached to the rails.
• 1:12:45
  SPEAKER_00: But they all have I thought they were I thought they broke that off, but then you see like all the police cars have that.
• 1:12:50
  SPEAKER_00: Uh yeah, I don't know.
• 1:12:51
  SPEAKER_00: So I don't really understand.
• 1:12:52
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 1:12:53
  SPEAKER_00: But it's cool.
• 1:12:53
  SPEAKER_00: I like it.
• 1:12:54
  SPEAKER_00: It's a good chase, isn't it?
• 1:12:55
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's a solid chase scene.
• 1:12:57
  SPEAKER_00: And then they end up on top of another car.
• 1:12:59
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that bit's good.
• 1:13:00
  SPEAKER_00: So many good bits, actually.
• 1:13:02
  SPEAKER_00: It's a yeah, impressive set piece for all the set pieces in this are really good.
• 1:13:07
  SPEAKER_00: It's not easy to make a scene like that.
• 1:13:10
  SPEAKER_00: They're not they're not they're not fucking around there.
• 1:13:12
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 1:13:15
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:13:17
  SPEAKER_00: Um find out.
• 1:13:21
  SPEAKER_00: Forty-eight million in 93.
• 1:13:23
  SPEAKER_00: That's a lot, yeah.
• 1:13:24
  SPEAKER_00: That's one of the most expensive movies of the state.
• 1:13:26
  SPEAKER_00: That's a very expensive movie.
• 1:13:27
  SPEAKER_00: There's like the probably the only ex more expensive movie is like Terminator 2, really.
• 1:13:32
  SPEAKER_00: Do you know what it grossed worldwide?
• 1:13:33
  SPEAKER_00: Uh like 35 million or something.
• 1:13:35
  SPEAKER_00: 20.
• 1:13:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:13:37
  SPEAKER_00: Uh I thought it made a profit.
• 1:13:39
  SPEAKER_00: It did not.
• 1:13:42
  SPEAKER_00: Not even half its budget.
• 1:13:43
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:13:43
  SPEAKER_00: No one wanted to see that.
• 1:13:45
  SPEAKER_00: Wow.
• 1:13:45
  SPEAKER_00: No wonder it took until this year for it to go over another one.
• 1:13:48
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:13:48
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:13:48
  SPEAKER_00: They were so tainted.

  SPEAKER_00: Video game movies, they just didn't they didn't sell.
• 1:13:53
  SPEAKER_00: No, they did not sell.
• 1:13:54
  SPEAKER_00: Not enough people were playing video games back then.
• 1:13:58
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:13:58
  SPEAKER_00: I think if they'd done it another five years later, it would have been much bigger.
• 1:14:02
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:14:04
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's true.
• 1:14:05
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 1:14:05
  SPEAKER_00: And also if the trailers were good, I guess.
• 1:14:11
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:14:12
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 1:14:13
  SPEAKER_00: But yeah, so Cooper's uh Cooper's in his uh like mud bath.
• 1:14:20
  SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah.
• 1:14:21
  SPEAKER_00: Which is quite a funny scene.
• 1:14:23
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:14:23
  SPEAKER_00: It's him and Fiona in there.
• 1:14:24
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:14:25
  SPEAKER_00: Um and then he puts the he puts Iggy and Spike into the machine and makes them advanced.
• 1:14:31
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they're just like ridiculously smart now.
• 1:14:33
  SPEAKER_00: That's fine.
• 1:14:34
  SPEAKER_00: I like that.
• 1:14:34
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:14:35
  SPEAKER_00: Character development.
• 1:14:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:14:38
  SPEAKER_00: And we find out that Daisy's mother smuggled her and smuggled to Earth and you get to meet Yoshi for the first time.
• 1:14:44
  SPEAKER_00: Yoshi, who's this little little creature.
• 1:14:46
  SPEAKER_00: Just a dinosaur.
• 1:14:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, just a little dinosaur.
• 1:14:48
  SPEAKER_00: Tiny dinosaur.
• 1:14:49
  SPEAKER_00: But he's very sweet.
• 1:14:50
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I like Yoshi.
• 1:14:51
  SPEAKER_00: But he looks terrifying.
• 1:14:52
  SPEAKER_00: No, yeah, he's not.
• 1:14:53
  SPEAKER_00: He's not cuddly like.
• 1:14:55
  SPEAKER_00: He's not like the real Yoshi.
• 1:14:56
  SPEAKER_00: He does nothing with his, he doesn't have the tongue or anything.
• 1:14:59
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:15:00
  SPEAKER_00: He does.
• 1:15:02
  SPEAKER_00: He uses his tongue, but he doesn't have like that.
• 1:15:05
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's a it's a long tongue.
• 1:15:08
  SPEAKER_00: I remember Mario cartoons as a kid, and there were definitely some where Yoshi could talk and some.
• 1:15:13
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:15:13
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:15:15
  SPEAKER_00: There were, weren't there?
• 1:15:16
  SPEAKER_00: There were a lot where Yoshi could talk, and they were quite fine.
• 1:15:20
  SPEAKER_00: It's cute Yoshi just talking.
• 1:15:22
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, yeah, you don't really back then you weren't really gay other than like babe.
• 1:15:27
  SPEAKER_00: I can't really think of like talking animals.
• 1:15:29
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 1:15:29
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 1:15:32
  SPEAKER_00: This was pre-babe.
• 1:15:33
  SPEAKER_00: They don't think can we make this animal talk?
• 1:15:37
  SPEAKER_00: They're more focused on making human hybrids of animals.
• 1:15:44
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so they basically like they go to the club to find Bertha.
• 1:15:51
  SPEAKER_00: He charms her.
• 1:15:52
  SPEAKER_00: And it's like it's yeah, Mario is a charmer.
• 1:15:55
  SPEAKER_00: It's like and he says uh No woman can resist the charm of a Mario.
• 1:16:00
  SPEAKER_00: And it's true.
• 1:16:02
  SPEAKER_00: She can't because she punches him in the face.
• 1:16:04
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:16:05
  SPEAKER_00: And then he's like, okay, I'm going to go back for round two.
• 1:16:07
  SPEAKER_00: And he's like, can you punch me again?
• 1:16:08
  SPEAKER_00: Again.
• 1:16:08
  SPEAKER_00: And he's like, okay, fair enough.
• 1:16:11
  SPEAKER_00: Let's do that.
• 1:16:12
  SPEAKER_00: Mario's intermediate.
• 1:16:14
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:16:15
  SPEAKER_00: It's canon now.
• 1:16:16
  SPEAKER_00: It's totally canon.
• 1:16:18
  SPEAKER_00: He just loves getting here.
• 1:16:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:16:22
  SPEAKER_00: But they dance and he takes it.
• 1:16:26
  SPEAKER_00: What's the lyric?
• 1:16:27
  SPEAKER_00: It's like something dinosa it's got dinosaurs.
• 1:16:30
  SPEAKER_00: No, no.
• 1:16:30
  SPEAKER_00: First of all, it's like a really sexy kind of song.
• 1:16:33
  SPEAKER_00: And then when he gets it back, that's when they cut to like the dinosaur song.
• 1:16:37
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, dinosaur song.
• 1:16:38
  SPEAKER_00: I remember that song very well from childhood.
• 1:16:40
  SPEAKER_00: It's a song I always hated.
• 1:16:45
  SPEAKER_00: It wasn't written for this, was it?
• 1:16:46
  SPEAKER_00: Don't think so.
• 1:16:47
  SPEAKER_00: I think it's just a dinosaur.
• 1:16:48
  SPEAKER_00: They just looked for a song which had dinosaur lyric, and they're like, let's play that in the let's play that in a club.
• 1:16:54
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:16:54
  SPEAKER_00: Because it doesn't make any sense why they were because they are all dinosaurs.
• 1:16:57
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, like if we were like just in the club playing like a song about humans, the lyrics are all about humans.
• 1:17:10
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so they escape with the boots, he puts on the boots, and then they it cuts and you see them put on the iconic Mario outfits.
• 1:17:18
  SPEAKER_00: Well, that's not yet, is it?
• 1:17:20
  SPEAKER_00: That's when they're in the tower.
• 1:17:22
  SPEAKER_00: I must have missed out some points.
• 1:17:23
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:17:24
  SPEAKER_00: Must have been like, this isn't important.
• 1:17:25
  SPEAKER_00: I think they probably get into the tower quite quickly after that.
• 1:17:27
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, there's nothing I don't really right now.
• 1:17:30
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, basically they just escape and they put on the boots.
• 1:17:32
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:17:33
  SPEAKER_00: But this Yeah, right, they escape into the tower, put on the iconic outfits.
• 1:17:37
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, they're fun.
• 1:17:38
  SPEAKER_00: And they do this hand thing, which is never explained, but it's quite nice when they go gla.
• 1:17:44
  SPEAKER_00: I used to think of that as a kid.
• 1:17:48

  SPEAKER_00: Has no relation to Mario.
• 1:17:52
  SPEAKER_00: Nothing.
• 1:17:53
  SPEAKER_00: But it's quite nice that it will occasionally go with each other's hands.
• 1:17:57
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it'd be nice if they added it into the games.
• 1:18:00
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, then the the outfits and that bit is classed to us.

  SPEAKER_00: That's harsh.
• 1:18:33
  SPEAKER_00: It's very sad.
• 1:18:34
  SPEAKER_00: I was always saddened by that.
• 1:18:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:18:37
  SPEAKER_00: It's quite tough.

• 1:18:57
  SPEAKER_00: And he's like, yeah.

  SPEAKER_00: The toad, when he goes on fire and the way he flips the food, it's just so comical.
• 1:19:06
  SPEAKER_00: Oh no.
• 1:19:06
  SPEAKER_00: But in a way you do feel sad for Toad.
• 1:19:10
  SPEAKER_00: Toad's on fire.
• 1:19:10
  SPEAKER_00: I do love this toad.
• 1:19:12
  SPEAKER_00: The thing is, I love this toad, and I don't like Toad in the games.
• 1:19:16
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, in the games.
• 1:19:17
  SPEAKER_00: You don't like it?
• 1:19:17
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not a fan of Toad in the fine.
• 1:19:19
  SPEAKER_00: Why is that?
• 1:19:19
  SPEAKER_00: I always find him annoying.
• 1:19:21
  SPEAKER_00: He's a bit arrogant, isn't he?
• 1:19:22
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:19:23
  SPEAKER_00: I always find him really annoying.
• 1:19:24
  SPEAKER_00: I don't like when people kick him as well.
• 1:19:26
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I mean he's very powerful in Mario Kart.
• 1:19:28
  SPEAKER_00: He's very uh very strong.
• 1:19:29
  SPEAKER_00: He's too good.
• 1:19:30
  SPEAKER_00: He's too good.
• 1:19:31
  SPEAKER_00: I don't really know what Toad's defining features are in the game, to be honest.
• 1:19:34
  SPEAKER_00: Can you play him in Mario Know you can't play him in Mario 2, I think.
• 1:19:40
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe.
• 1:19:41
  SPEAKER_00: I don't remember.
• 1:19:42
  SPEAKER_00: Mario 2 is a weird game.
• 1:19:43
  SPEAKER_00: I only remember him in Mario Kart.
• 1:19:45
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:19:48
  SPEAKER_00: And then like being around Mario 64.
• 1:19:50
  SPEAKER_00: And like when you talk to him in Mario 64, he's really annoying.
• 1:19:57
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 1:19:57
  SPEAKER_00: Again, I had the SNES.
• 1:19:59
  SPEAKER_00: Classic.
• 1:20:02
  SPEAKER_00: It holds up today.
• 1:20:02
  SPEAKER_00: They didn't have any consoles between like SNES and Xbox One.
• 1:20:06
  SPEAKER_00: But it genuinely holds up.
• 1:20:08
  SPEAKER_00: I bet.
• 1:20:10
  SPEAKER_00: It really is, yeah.
• 1:20:11
  SPEAKER_00: And I bet it is.
• 1:20:13
  SPEAKER_00: I bet it is.
• 1:20:14
  SPEAKER_00: I think it was there was Do you know the magazine Edge?
• 1:20:17
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:20:18
  SPEAKER_00: Did you ever read it?

  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I remember that.
• 1:20:19
  SPEAKER_00: I never I remember they were very they had a thing that they never gave out ten out of tens, except I think at the time when I was young, there was only like four games which got ten out of ten, and one of them was Mario 64, I think.
• 1:20:33
  SPEAKER_00: Do you remember what else?
• 1:20:34
  SPEAKER_00: I can't remember what the others were.
• 1:20:35
  SPEAKER_00: Mario Galaxy, I think, did get 10 out of 10.
• 1:20:38
  SPEAKER_00: I can't remember what the other ones were.
• 1:20:40
  SPEAKER_00: There were a few controversial ones, but there were very few.
• 1:20:47
  SPEAKER_00: Probably, yeah.
• 1:20:48
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:20:48
  SPEAKER_00: They did never get because it was they did a point system.
• 1:20:52
  SPEAKER_00: You could get 9.5.
• 1:20:55
  SPEAKER_00: But they just never gave 10 full 10 except occasionally.
• 1:20:59
  SPEAKER_00: That would be an interesting list, what I got.
• 1:21:01
  SPEAKER_00: Can you look that up actually edge a 10 out of 10 games?
• 1:21:04
  SPEAKER_00: There was one which was really controversial, I think.
• 1:21:07
  SPEAKER_00: And it was just like, no, that that isn't that isn't a 10 out of 10 game.
• 1:21:11
  SPEAKER_00: Because they get them so rarely.
• 1:21:13
  SPEAKER_00: Oh well, you're right.

  SPEAKER_00: It's not a 10 out of 10 game.
• 1:21:34
  SPEAKER_00: The orange box, which I've never heard of.

• 1:22:11
  SPEAKER_00: No, it's not quite.
• 1:22:14
  SPEAKER_00: Five makes sense because you can use so much and it's still playable to this day.

• 1:23:20
  SPEAKER_00: That's really not that many.
• 1:23:21
  SPEAKER_00: That's only like 30 games.
• 1:23:23
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, exactly.
• 1:23:24
  SPEAKER_00: It's a big thing.
• 1:23:25
  SPEAKER_00: Halo 3 shouldn't be on there.
• 1:23:26
  SPEAKER_00: No, there's quite a few that should not be on there.
• 1:23:28
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:23:29
  SPEAKER_00: Rockman 3 should not be on the box.
• 1:23:32
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's not the most trustworthy 10 out of 10.
• 1:23:35
  SPEAKER_00: Half-Life 2 was all was pretty good at the time.
• 1:23:37
  SPEAKER_00: I never played Half-Life.

  SPEAKER_00: They're good.
• 1:23:39
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they're great.

  SPEAKER_00: Half-Life 1 is better than Half-Life 2, I think.
• 1:23:42
  SPEAKER_00: Fair.
• 1:23:43
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:23:44
  SPEAKER_00: Half-Life 2 was pretty amazing at the time because it was the first time there was physics in a game properly.
• 1:23:50
  SPEAKER_00: And they had the gravity gun and you could just pick stuff up.
• 1:23:52
  SPEAKER_00: But that was just so innovative.
• 1:23:54
  SPEAKER_00: You could pick stuff up and throw it from the environment.
• 1:23:57
  SPEAKER_00: It was like, okay, cool.
• 1:23:59
  SPEAKER_00: And then after a while it was like, wait, that's not actually that fun to do.
• 1:24:04
  SPEAKER_00: It's not more efficient than shooting someone to pick up a box and shoot it at someone.
• 1:24:09
  SPEAKER_00: But when you did it, when you first played it, you were just every time.
• 1:24:12
  SPEAKER_00: It was just like, okay, I'll pick up this crate from over here and throw it at them.
• 1:24:16
  SPEAKER_00: It's taken me like twice as long as shooting them, but it's fun.
• 1:24:22
  SPEAKER_00: Physics.
• 1:24:23
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:24:24
  SPEAKER_00: What a time.
• 1:24:25
  SPEAKER_00: 2004, whatever.
• 1:24:29
  SPEAKER_00: Let's like rush through this uh the end of this turn of this uh movie, because there's not a whole lot that happens from that.

  SPEAKER_00: The music in that scene is great, actually.
• 1:24:48
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:24:49
  SPEAKER_00: And we're like the spike and Iggy are like, oh we'll leave her alone.
• 1:24:54
  SPEAKER_00: Spike and Iggy like get once they become smart, they redeem themselves.
• 1:24:58
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they have quite any quick redemption art.
• 1:25:02
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:25:02
  SPEAKER_00: They're like, oh wait, this is actually pretty dodge.
• 1:25:05
  SPEAKER_00: Oh we skip past a bit the way they were they they get caught in the desert.
• 1:25:10
  SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah.

• 1:25:19
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 1:25:20
  SPEAKER_00: And then you realize it's um it's the fungus.
• 1:25:24
  SPEAKER_00: You can save it.

  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's like all the scenes are just.
• 1:25:44
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, exactly.
• 1:25:45
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not yeah, I'm thinking about it, it's like these scenes are really easy to watch.
• 1:25:49
  SPEAKER_00: They've advanced the plot, there's nice category.
• 1:25:51
  SPEAKER_00: It's a really fun movie to watch.

  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's really fun.
• 1:27:32
  SPEAKER_00: It's really fun.
• 1:27:33
  SPEAKER_00: It's like for a movie about Marrow, there's a lot of New York-centric jokes.

  SPEAKER_00: It looks like the cannon, but it's tiny, and he puts it in the boot and just like Yeah, wrecks him.

• 1:29:24
  SPEAKER_00: She's the hair gets frosty.
• 1:29:26
  SPEAKER_00: But then uh she tries to merge the two dimensions together.
• 1:29:28
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and she can't because only Daisy can.
• 1:29:31
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we learned she's she's the once.
• 1:29:33
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:29:33
  SPEAKER_00: She's the one with the power.
• 1:29:34
  SPEAKER_00: Um They Oh yeah, I wrote down only Daisy has the force, which is what they say.
• 1:29:40
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:29:40
  SPEAKER_00: Which is quite funny because then later on in like Star Wars, they're Daisy with the force.
• 1:29:45
  SPEAKER_00: Ah, ooh, Daisy Ridley.
• 1:29:47
  SPEAKER_00: It's all it's all prophetic.

  SPEAKER_00: She was the original, right?
• 1:29:52
  SPEAKER_00: Um Strong female character.
• 1:29:54
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, strong female character.
• 1:29:55
  SPEAKER_00: She has the power.
• 1:29:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:29:56
  SPEAKER_00: She's in charge there.
• 1:29:59
  SPEAKER_00: He's all like the force.
• 1:30:03
  SPEAKER_00: And she's like, no, hold on to my hand, that's fine.
• 1:30:06
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:30:06
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, yeah.
• 1:30:07
  SPEAKER_00: They do some plumbing.
• 1:30:08
  SPEAKER_00: They do a lot of plumbing in this game.
• 1:30:09
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they do it, they do.
• 1:30:10
  SPEAKER_00: It's a great movie about plumbing.
• 1:30:12
  SPEAKER_00: They do more plumbing in this movie than they do in the game.
• 1:30:15
  SPEAKER_00: There's no there's no actual plumbing in the games.
• 1:30:17
  SPEAKER_00: He just climbs through pipes.
• 1:30:19
  SPEAKER_00: He does very little plumbing himself, but he just likes going through massive pipes.
• 1:30:23
  SPEAKER_00: Whereas here, they're they're plumbing all the time.
• 1:30:26
  SPEAKER_00: There's always he's always talking about his tools.
• 1:30:27
  SPEAKER_00: He's like, Yeah, you've got to trust your tools.
• 1:30:29
  SPEAKER_00: Like it's a lightsaber.
• 1:30:32
  SPEAKER_00: He's a good mentor.
• 1:30:33
  SPEAKER_00: He's a great mentor to his brother.
• 1:30:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, exactly.
• 1:30:36
  SPEAKER_00: Luigi's the apprentice.
• 1:30:38
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:30:38
  SPEAKER_00: How big is the age gap?
• 1:30:39
  SPEAKER_00: It must be quite massive.
• 1:30:41
  SPEAKER_00: It's like not like uncommon.
• 1:30:42
  SPEAKER_00: I want to say Luigi's like 20s.
• 1:30:44
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:30:45
  SPEAKER_00: Like early 20s, and Mario is like 40s, yeah.
• 1:30:49
  SPEAKER_00: It's not clear, it's not explained why, but it does work.
• 1:30:51
  SPEAKER_00: It does work.
• 1:30:52
  SPEAKER_00: Like the game, clearly they're not they're both grown men.
• 1:30:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:30:57
  SPEAKER_00: But Luigi's a grown man in the game.
• 1:31:00
  SPEAKER_00: Um But is Luigi just a child, basically?
• 1:31:03
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:31:03
  SPEAKER_00: I think it's to show that he's like he is the younger brother too.
• 1:31:10
  SPEAKER_00: It's like whereas like if they were if they were the same age, or like roughly the same age, it'd be weird having like the tall Luigi looking at the great dynamic.
• 1:31:22
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so basically like the world start merging.
• 1:31:25
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:31:25
  SPEAKER_00: That bit is crazy.
• 1:31:27
  SPEAKER_00: Crazy.
• 1:31:27
  SPEAKER_00: Can we talk about the Twin Towers disappearing?
• 1:31:29
  SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah, the Twin Towers cut into Cooper Towers.
• 1:31:31
  SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah, that was a nice moment.
• 1:31:33
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, okay.
• 1:31:35
  SPEAKER_00: It's like, oh, that does not hold.
• 1:31:36
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 1:31:37
  SPEAKER_00: No, they get they get they get dissolved into Cooper Towers.
• 1:31:41
  SPEAKER_00: Great bit.
• 1:31:42
  SPEAKER_00: Great bit.
• 1:31:42
  SPEAKER_00: Great great little bit.
• 1:31:44
  SPEAKER_00: Um Skipella gets monkefied.
• 1:31:46
  SPEAKER_00: Skipetti turns into a monkey.
• 1:31:48
  SPEAKER_00: You get the evolved into the monkey.
• 1:31:49
  SPEAKER_00: Um uses the mushroom as a as a shield.
• 1:31:54
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:31:54
  SPEAKER_00: Trust the fungus.
• 1:31:55
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he says trust the fungus.
• 1:31:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:31:56
  SPEAKER_00: That's the first time they probably use the mushroom.
• 1:31:58
  SPEAKER_00: It's such a weird way to incorporate the mushroom from I quite like it.
• 1:32:02
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I like it.
• 1:32:02
  SPEAKER_00: I love it.
• 1:32:03
  SPEAKER_00: But it's like I can see why people hate this, because it's like But what do you want them to do?
• 1:32:06
  SPEAKER_00: Do you want them to eat the mushroom and like turn big?
• 1:32:09
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 1:32:09
  SPEAKER_00: It's just like, oh.
• 1:32:11
  SPEAKER_00: It's like they got a note to incorporate stuff in the game, and they're just like, yeah, let's incorporate it, but in the in the least, in the way they'll hate the most.
• 1:32:18
  SPEAKER_00: But the thing is, like the directors wanted to make a dark movie, and then the studio wanted them to make a family movie.
• 1:32:24
  SPEAKER_00: So I think this is the best of both words.
• 1:32:27
  SPEAKER_00: Well they ha they fired them and rehired them many times, didn't they?
• 1:32:30
  SPEAKER_00: I kept surprised.
• 1:32:32
  SPEAKER_00: I think they fired them and then these new writers came on and they fired those writers and just got them back.
• 1:32:38
  SPEAKER_00: So they were kind of like, oh, no one else can make this movie.
• 1:32:40
  SPEAKER_00: Great.
• 1:32:42
  SPEAKER_00: It's an impossible task.
• 1:32:43
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:32:44
  SPEAKER_00: It really is.
• 1:32:45
  SPEAKER_00: The mushroom.
• 1:32:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so uh basically they uh they go back, Toad helps, uh Toad helps them, and then they de-evolve Cooper at this point.
• 1:33:02
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, shoot him with the tender guns.
• 1:33:05
  SPEAKER_00: But he turns into like sludge.
• 1:33:08
  SPEAKER_00: Sludge, yeah.
• 1:33:08
  SPEAKER_00: He devolves so much.
• 1:33:09
  SPEAKER_00: I really like that scene though where he's like a half dinosaur for a bit and he's like But also why do the guns de-evolve people?
• 1:33:17
  SPEAKER_00: I think that they're the guns he's he's got.
• 1:33:19
  SPEAKER_00: So like he was planning to de-evolve everyone.
• 1:33:21
  SPEAKER_00: Oh right, so he's just slowly.
• 1:33:23
  SPEAKER_00: It was his plan to de-evolve all the mammals.
• 1:33:26
  SPEAKER_00: Got you.
• 1:33:26
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 1:33:29
  SPEAKER_00: For fun.
• 1:33:30
  SPEAKER_00: I guess it's it's quite a slow way of taking over, but it's quite fun.
• 1:33:34
  SPEAKER_00: Um but he yeah, he blows up into sludge.
• 1:33:37
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:33:37
  SPEAKER_00: Um and then we and then Daisy's dad just like comes back to the code.
• 1:33:41
  SPEAKER_00: Which makes no sense.
• 1:33:42
  SPEAKER_00: Doesn't make any sense.
• 1:33:43
  SPEAKER_00: And it's Lance Lance Henrickson playing the king.
• 1:33:46
  SPEAKER_00: Um why not for one line.
• 1:33:50
  SPEAKER_00: One line.
• 1:33:51
  SPEAKER_00: Unclear why.
• 1:33:53
  SPEAKER_00: But fair enough.
• 1:33:55
  SPEAKER_00: He's going from aliens to this.
• 1:33:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 1:33:57
  SPEAKER_00: He did aliens, and they're like, hey, we want to play Guy Comes Back from Fungus.
• 1:34:01
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 1:34:01
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 1:34:02
  SPEAKER_00: Sure.
• 1:34:03
  SPEAKER_00: Fantastic.
• 1:34:04
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, I forgot the bit where he sets the ba-bomb and it walks slowly.
• 1:34:07
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
• 1:34:07
  SPEAKER_00: And goes all the way under.
• 1:34:08
  SPEAKER_00: I realize it comes back up and it explodes.
• 1:34:12
  SPEAKER_00: Explodes.
• 1:34:13
  SPEAKER_00: That's just really my suspense.
• 1:34:17
  SPEAKER_00: It's a ba-bomb.
• 1:34:18
  SPEAKER_00: And everyone's so scared of the ba-bomb in this world.
• 1:34:20
  SPEAKER_00: They all know it what it is.
• 1:34:21
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they're like, oh, it's a ba-bomb.
• 1:34:23
  SPEAKER_00: Or the cars are driving, oh shit-up.
• 1:34:27
  SPEAKER_00: It's so great.
• 1:34:30
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so but basically but basically like Daisy decides to stay behind.
• 1:34:33
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 1:34:34
  SPEAKER_00: Because she has unresolved things.
• 1:34:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:34:37
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:34:37
  SPEAKER_00: That plus like she wants to help everyone.
• 1:34:39
  SPEAKER_00: She is the princess of the world.
• 1:34:42
  SPEAKER_00: And then it cuts to So she stays, Luigi's upset, but they have a kiss.
• 1:34:47
  SPEAKER_00: They can visit.
• 1:34:50
  SPEAKER_00: Do long distance.
• 1:34:51
  SPEAKER_00: It's not that long distance.
• 1:34:52
  SPEAKER_00: It just goes through the TV portal.
• 1:34:54
  SPEAKER_00: I think they close that up, maybe.
• 1:34:55
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 1:34:56
  SPEAKER_00: Probably would close that up, right?
• 1:34:58
  SPEAKER_00: No, we don't want dinosaurs coming here.
• 1:35:00
  SPEAKER_00: But it cuts to three weeks later.
• 1:35:02
  SPEAKER_00: And it's so stupid.
• 1:35:05
  SPEAKER_00: It just cuts to three weeks later and there's a knock at the door.
• 1:35:08
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:35:08
  SPEAKER_00: And it's Daisy.
• 1:35:10
  SPEAKER_00: She's like, You have to help.
• 1:35:12
  SPEAKER_00: You never guess what's happened.
• 1:35:13
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:35:14
  SPEAKER_00: You never guess what's happened, and we don't find out.
• 1:35:16
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 1:35:17
  SPEAKER_00: You know what I would do?
• 1:35:18
  SPEAKER_00: I I I uh when I was a kid, I was like, there's got to be more movie.
• 1:35:22
  SPEAKER_00: Nope.
• 1:35:23
  SPEAKER_00: Well, there is a end of credit scene.
• 1:35:25
  SPEAKER_00: There is an end of credit scene, but again, it's not really anything.
• 1:35:28
  SPEAKER_00: But I thought there'll be just Iggy and I would leave the VHS running expecting there to be more movie.
• 1:35:34
  SPEAKER_00: Nowadays there would be a setup to something.
• 1:35:36
  SPEAKER_00: But apparently what they were trying to do was like a back to the future style thing.
• 1:35:39
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:35:42
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:35:42
  SPEAKER_00: Hey, if the film had made money, I would have loved to see I think it would have made great sequels.
• 1:35:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they would yeah.
• 1:35:49
  SPEAKER_00: That would have been a great trilogy.
• 1:35:50
  SPEAKER_00: Summario 2, Summario 3, the world gets crazy.
• 1:35:54
  SPEAKER_00: None of them would sign up again.
• 1:35:55
  SPEAKER_00: No, they would not.
• 1:35:57
  SPEAKER_00: Bob Hoskins would not come back with this.
• 1:35:59
  SPEAKER_00: Uh yeah, nope, he would not.
• 1:36:01
  SPEAKER_00: Who would you get to play Mario?
• 1:36:03
  SPEAKER_00: Danny DeVito.
• 1:36:04
  SPEAKER_00: Danny DeVito, yes.
• 1:36:05
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 1:36:06
  SPEAKER_00: I used to think Danny DeVito and Bob Hoskins were interchangeable, Mario.
• 1:36:10
  SPEAKER_00: I was like, surely they're the same person.
• 1:36:13
  SPEAKER_00: Danny DeVito is Mario.
• 1:36:15
  SPEAKER_00: That would be quite fun.
• 1:36:16
  SPEAKER_00: That would be fun.
• 1:36:16
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:36:17
  SPEAKER_00: I think there was a point where they're trying to get him.
• 1:36:19
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:36:19
  SPEAKER_00: Who would you get now?
• 1:36:21
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, do you know what was funny?
• 1:36:23
  SPEAKER_00: Um so uh it was supposed to be I think Luigi was supposed to be Tom Hanks.
• 1:36:30

• 1:37:00
  SPEAKER_00: And then Forrest Gum.

  SPEAKER_00: Oh, I didn't know that.
• 1:37:43
  SPEAKER_00: They were dating, but she I think left him to be with River Phoenix, who I think again, him and John Louisiana are very similar.
• 1:37:53
  SPEAKER_00: They're very similar people.
• 1:37:55
  SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah, yeah.
• 1:37:58
  SPEAKER_00: I think she was with River Phoenix when he passed away.

  SPEAKER_00: Right, okay.
• 1:38:02

• 1:38:26
  SPEAKER_00: Every single uh, but I've got loads.
• 1:38:31
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, no.

• 1:46:01
  SPEAKER_00: It's not a video game like world.
