welcome back to me we didn't know how to start last week without you we were lost
0:06
there's one question that the listeners are almost certainly asking themselves
0:10
right now and that is how do you feel Luke I don't
0:14
know welcome to multiple
0:17
nerdgasm with your hosts Matt Luke and
0:21
Dan multiple nerdgasm your guide to All
0:27
Things nerdy
0:32
I'm I'm trying to work just work out if it's wearing off yet or if it's in my head
0:38
or you got to normalize for that one week I was great loved it then came the
0:45
I don't remember it yeah you were like a
0:47
Zen monk you were calm centered at peace with the
0:53
world just wake up watch some television go to sleep but the only bad part is
0:58
every 2 hours had get my blood pressure checked oh really that makes her
1:04
very makes even though I did a lot of sleeping I was still very tired I think
1:08
that's what they do in Guantanamo as a torture don't they they wake you up
1:12
every two hours no they apply pressure I think sorry yeah I mean that's certainly
1:17
what my daughter does to torture me I was going to say Luke's experience
1:21
mimics why I I mean I obviously I didn't have to wake up for it but they kept
1:25
coming in to check on Jenna after we had after I say we had lra after she gave
1:30
yeah yeah and and I love how he also preed this by saying I mean it didn't affect me
1:35
yeah he started this off by saying I had a similar experience and then proceeded
1:41
I watch someone else have a similar experience while I was awake when I was
1:45
asleep obviously I didn't notice it is cuz sometimes it would take a little
1:48
while to actually knob back off at night and then finally off and then not you
1:52
got to wake up again and it's not like a then going to check your blood pressure
1:56
and so that's waking you up it's not a yeah non invasive she said the same thing
2:02
she'd get to sleep and someone come in and go you're all right she like yeah I
2:04
was [ __ ] off was I just remember when um the day after Harper was born one of the
2:10
nurses came in and went what are you both doing awake and we're like what and
2:15
she was like one of you needs to be asleep at all times because you will
2:18
never be awake at the same time again that's
2:23
right yeah I mean that was certainly a thing for a period I didn't in his house
2:28
um Harper did something seriously annoying the other day um Matt I
2:32
remember you saying that you guys had gotten quite disheartened by cooking
2:36
delicious meals um for your daughter only to have her just spit them out in
2:40
disgust yeah um well Harper's taking that to the next level now right I
2:45
didn't even put it in front of her I prepared a meal and was bringing it over
2:48
to her and I said do you want this like I was just kind of holding it up for her and she
2:53
went that just I don't even know how she knows
2:58
that that's how you like insult somebody's food yeah you
3:03
know she just made the kind of spew face yeah exactly like that looks [ __ ]
3:07
disgusting to me dad um never give him the option here is
3:14
what you get oh it's not an option it's just lra now I don't know where she
3:19
picked this up it must be at daycare or something now instead of like when she
3:22
says no she she actually goes no she goes Mo and like shakes her head when
3:26
she instead of saying yes she goes uh-huh and like yeah so I'm encouraging you now and
3:33
I don't know where she learned it but then the other day I got her out of the
3:35
bath and she was wrapped in a towel and I put her down on the changing like mat
3:40
thing and I got a diaper and I stood up with it and she looked at it looked at me and went
3:46
uhoh and I said what I said did you pee
3:50
in the towel and she goes uh-huh I was like all right I can't be
3:56
mad at this it's too funny I know yeah uhhuh I like it when think she might
4:02
have gotten that from you when peeing in tows you peeing a lot of tows yeah
4:06
peeing tows yeah I've been away holidays with Matt
4:11
before it's it just a vacation thing I'm V
4:16
vacation wherever I want I was lying there in my towel and Luke came over
4:20
with my clothes and I went uhoh and lukee was like you peed in your tow
4:24
didn't you and you're like uh-huh uh-huh and you can't get bad at that it
4:29
it's funny when they say words they've never said before because you're like
4:32
did you just learn that just now or have you only known that and only now decided
4:37
to start using that word you know like she woke up the other night crying and I
4:42
was just going to go and give her a little cuddle settle her down and put
4:44
her back in the cot right but I'm like giv her a cuddle she popped the binky
4:48
out of her mouth and then just whispered in my ear milk and I was like she's
4:52
never said that before cuz she never had to I always just bring her milk when
4:54
it's milk but I was like oh you you know what this is called all right I'll get
4:59
you some milk that's fine it's not a not a big have you had anything where
5:02
they've tried they're trying out a new word and I don't know if it's the right
5:05
context yet I don't know about that actually she uses the same word for a
5:09
couple of things usually but you have to kind of figure it out via context which
5:13
one she's talking about yeah all fruit is apples to Hara so when she says Apple
5:18
you've got to guess which fruit she
5:22
wants is water or milk or sure um so
5:29
Diddy is Bluey but Diddy is also her B
5:32
Donkey Kong's son yeah that's too but then she said I I told you this aray she
5:38
says she started asking Diddy Diddy I was like Diddy what's Diddy and then I
5:43
like so and she's pointing at the cupbo St the cupboard oh she has a Bluey cup
5:47
she wants water Bluey water yeah I'm like that's that's quite clever that is
5:52
yeah yeah that's how language is constructed yeah [Laughter]
5:58
yeah never thought about it yes well last week we talked about
6:04
typical family station wagons for 40 minutes baby words yeah I think I put in
6:11
the show notes we talked about cars for way longer than Luke would normally
6:15
allow yeah um my sister Sarah she did mention that oh she did okay she went
6:21
I've listened to half the podcast so far and all theyve done is talk about
6:26
cars sorry listeners well it's like it's like when when I'm not on and I listen
6:30
back there's no movie news it's it's it's just game news you know what I mean
6:34
it's like we always just lean into whatever the one person who's not there likes the
6:40
least well I'm going to jump straight into movie news this we go on yeah
6:44
there's quite a bit lot I went and saw a movie oh did you oh I went and saw
6:49
Avatar too oh did you did you yep okay
6:54
drum roll okay uh it's better than the first one okay okay
7:00
actually I think it was better than the first one it's very long M okay and I
7:05
know they've cut Parts out cuz sometimes you're watching it and there'll be a
7:08
scene and then it'll cut to another scene it's all like why are we here
7:12
right like you know that there's been a conversation cut or there's been yeah
7:18
right but it could you could cut that movie down to an hour and a half easy
7:23
right yeah Luke could instead of the three hours it is I did of the three
7:28
hours I did read an article today that said he's already submitted a I don't
7:31
think it's yeah yeah exactly 9h hour cut of Avatar 3 and he's told them I want
7:37
all the special effects done so I need more money before I cut it down and then
7:41
I'll start cutting it down like what a [ __ ] cheeky bastard and they'll let
7:45
do I can and yeah and I do believe it because it is yeah there as I said there
7:50
are scenes where it's like cut and it's no you you've missed something not not
7:54
like anything huge but I know that he had something else there okay um the the
8:00
big bad guy from the first one this might be a little bit of a spoiler but
8:04
it's the start of the movie he's back oh okay that he he's now an avatar as well
8:10
he's a clone oh oh all right which I just thought was a bit weird I knew he
8:15
was back when they run out of ideas they always go for Clones look at Alien
8:19
Resurrection yeah so all the all the bad sort of um marine guys they're all back
8:25
and they're all clones one of them is quite weird cuz as an avatar I don't
8:31
know did they grow her Avatar with the tattoos or did she go and get tattooed
8:35
after they oh interesting put her in like that was a bit
8:38
weird but so there's that um Sor W had
8:43
sex with a planet a planet that's my theory I don't think that's coming out
8:48
for another movie or so hold on all right wh this back is is Austin Wells
8:54
the voice of the planet they're my favorite planets yeah I missed the very
8:59
start of the movie I'd watch a Wells as a planet [ __ ] SE
9:04
Weaver but there was possible meaningless meaningless so s weav is not
9:10
really in it okay she's she's got like a few like where is she and somebody goes
9:15
oh off [ __ ] a planet probably but I I she had a daughter
9:20
where is she always and that no one knows who the father is the daughter has
9:25
Unicron conne know who the is right but they don't go into any further
9:32
detail I think they're sort of setting that up for future movies all right okay
9:37
um is in this still he's still in it right oh yes is he in it a lot oh yes
9:42
and this is this is part of thing I don't understand so they bring the
9:46
Marines back to go after Sam worthy who's ahead of the rebels things mhm but
9:52
Sam worthy then leaves John Su leaves with his family and goes into hiding and
9:57
then we don't hear about the rebels ever again oh we're just focused on getting
10:02
Jake Sul still oh okay oh I see I see what you're saying he's no longer in
10:07
that position but they still want to yeah okay that's that's still what the
10:10
whole movie is about is going after him and there's a new it's not unobtanium
10:16
that this movie is about this time oh they've obtained that it's K get K
10:20
gum there are these whale like creatures
10:24
oh yeah that are intelligent that talk to the na'vi
10:30
and they in their brain is a drug that
10:33
stops humans from aging okay just
10:37
completely that's convenient yep so it's in other words Cameron read Dune and
10:44
went what if the spice was literally in
10:46
the wom yeah yeah and yeah look I thought it was better than the first one
10:52
I I think the first couple of weeks are going to do well because and I think
10:57
it's going to be an older audience cuz this been to the movies in a long time
11:00
where the the audience was older right
11:04
like they were sort of 60s and did you did you pull them
11:11
yeah age how old are you though I just the crowd felt older
11:18
there were a lot of older they felt older it was dark but they felt older
11:22
they felt older s things weren't quite as high as it used to be not as taught
11:26
yeah yeah so and that's why I think but I don't think it's going to I think it's
11:30
going to drop off very quickly cuz I don't know I think it's the big
11:36
pool is the 3D the 3D was still great okay I ask you see better than the 3D in
11:42
the previous or the same it the same the same okay which was better than every
11:46
other 3D but cuz it's a movie made for 3D it wasn't a movie that made 3D put
11:53
camera that has two lenses like you can't get more 3D like it's not it's not
11:58
fake that's so it's got to be well I guess they still have to do the CGI so
12:03
they still have to but it's still it's C in that same same format yeah
12:10
yeah okay but that's what they should do they should if they if they want to be
12:12
something it shouldn't be let's make a movie and then make it 3D it's look
12:16
we've got this Vision this would look good in 3D like Avatar and then make it
12:19
that way yeah or even I remember doesn't have to be everything during that phase
12:23
where everything was in 3D and cartoons were in 3D and and reg just regular
12:29
movies were in 3D and it was ridiculous
12:31
um I did go and see Final Destination 6
12:36
or something and I was like this is the only kind of movie I want to see in 3d
12:42
like unless there's a knife or blood coming out at the screen at me I don't
12:46
care I don't care I'm not going to watch something that stars Cameron Diaz and
12:51
you know what I mean and and have her be in 3D I I just want spectacle if I'm
12:56
going to see 3D the there were scenes where there was like dripping down and
13:00
every now and again I go like that cuz it did feel like it water dripping front of my
13:04
face but no look I like one of the elderly people that he was
13:10
feeling look go see it I don't think you'll be going it's not going to be
13:14
like last time where you going I need to go see it again I don't know that I will
13:18
go see this I don't know that I will be able to I'll be honest I'm not sure how
13:22
I go see it and I'm not sure that I would bother sorry James Cameron like I
13:29
needs more money though
13:31
I feel I've only got limited movies I
13:36
can see in their cinematic form and I'm saving mine for Oppenheimer oh did you
13:42
see the the the preview leaked did you watch it no I tried to find it I
13:47
couldn't see it oh I watched it does it exist yeah yeah doesn't look good no no
13:52
no it it looks very good okay good I was like [ __ ] I'm going to have to watch
13:55
this yeah and I'm going to have to watch it an IMAX because he apparently there's
14:00
stuff and I don't know what it is but he he's like you have to watch this in IMAX
14:06
and I think it's got something to do with the explosion I saw a article this
14:09
week that said that he they recreated a
14:12
the first the test explosion yeah with only practical effects but the article
14:19
like that makes me nervous yeah well the article did was like non-committal about
14:24
like wait did they set off a nuke or not that's what you're implying know you're
14:29
doing it and you're very carefully not saying that but is that did they just
14:33
film a nuke yeah I don't think so but all practical effect can you have a
14:37
nuclear bomb and then just not have it Go nuclear you know what I mean I'm
14:42
doing the air quot has there been any well it could be that has any country
14:48
been testing nukes lately cuz it could have just been hey China we need to get
14:52
some I don't think you're supposed to be Boll yeah no I think what France was him
14:59
not long ago wasn't you say not long ago you're talking about mua in the '90s
15:02
aren't you 30 30 years ago the I do like the idea that
15:09
Christopher Nolan could get like a permit yeah if anyone could it would be
15:13
Christopher Nolan we've got some uh some paperwork here it says they want to s a
15:17
new absolutely not the new Christan film oh sorry well hang on let's have a chat
15:21
yeah that's right let him explain it I might not get it but can I can I have a
15:27
walk walk on roll in the film maybe I'll maybe I'll sign it depends on when he
15:31
filmed it if he filmed it um sort of in the last decade if he was friends with North
15:37
Korea then maybe I mean I hope he's not I hope he's not too maybe it's like six
15:42
degrees of separation like maybe he's friends with Rodman and Dennis Rodman
15:46
like got him an in I know what he can film a nuke yeah
15:51
yeah I got you mate um speaking of uh Nolan Matt some followup after last
15:58
week's I go watch the other half of
16:01
tenet um loved it very much uh I feel jipped if we're still allowed to use
16:08
that word I was going to say are we allowed to say that I feel what I mean
16:12
there's what's what's another word we can say in front of it in front of it
16:16
instead of it ripped off cheated ripped ripped off I feel yeah I
16:21
feel like and I don't want to sound like Luke this should have been a series this
16:27
one movie is not enough to tell this story there's so much more I need to
16:32
know and it's annoying because I know that he's not going to do a sequel or a
16:36
prequel where you see more he's just going to be like that's it it's all
16:39
there for you all the clues are there and I'm like all the IDE I had but I
16:43
want that's right I want to see everything
16:47
else mhm I think a lot of movies now would be better off as series instead of
16:53
oh even like that don't have to be a long series even like go for like a do a
16:57
5our movie SPL up five segments we've got well speaking of
17:03
things that are a series I I thought this was a movie but we've got some got
17:06
some Henry caval news yeah Oh Henry Cav so you should have listen to us poor
17:12
Henry he's had a rough week and well this seems like it's maybe a a nice end
17:17
cap to the week for him so but we else too but yeah go ahead we'll start at the
17:23
beginning Henry caval will not be playing Superman again he had a meeting with James G
17:29
and James gun told him I'm writing a new Superman movie with scrap and everything
17:34
else I'm writing it and he's younger
17:36
than you so you're fired yeah
17:42
verbatim end quote so no apparently they apparently it was you know it was all
17:48
amicable and everything well amicable Henry K then posted on Instagram and
17:51
said despite telling me I should announced this and quit my [ __ ] other
17:55
job at Netflix they've now told me I'm not doing this anymore so so he was
17:59
certainly bummed about it yeah yeah that was that that was a nice he was having a
18:04
goal with them but he was yeah it was it oh I completely understand especially
18:09
because the thing like good luck finding another actor who loves being Superman
18:15
as much as Henry gaval does like like
18:19
set aside the fact yeah I mean true and
18:23
like he is the look of Superman without even having to try you know what I mean
18:28
like is perfect as Superman and I'll still
18:32
say he he didn't ever get to live up to that challenge because the movies he
18:38
played Superman in were all very flawed and I would have loved to have seen him
18:43
in a James gun presents Superman movie I can actually see why James gun might be
18:49
doing this because James gun is now control of setting up the DC Universe
18:54
now yes and if you're going forward and trying to make something for the future
19:00
Henry C sort of at the end of his getting to the end of his time being
19:03
Superman just with his age and it kind of muddies the water a bit too if you're
19:07
saying now this is a reboot and it's like well that's the same guy like is
19:11
this or is this not connected to the other movies I've seen where Superman
19:14
behaved differently kind of thing yeah yeah it's it could be a bit confusing
19:18
and yet it's still unclear who the Batman will be in this universe as well
19:24
because there's certainly rumors that Matt Reeves the Reeves p Batman is is
19:29
coming across shut down I've got yeah I've got that in here somewhere James
19:34
gun says J shut down is there a chance
19:38
it'll still be Ben Affleck cuz I also don't feel he got a fair go at doing his
19:45
yeah I'm actually more upset that he didn't get a chance to be Batman well
19:49
not only that they've got the the other thing that happened is Wonder Woman 3
19:52
got canned with um Patty so there was a bunch of stuff floating around it's
19:57
definitely cancelled the first article said that she wrote a treatment and it
20:02
was in in there was garbage and the studio said try again and she said I
20:07
will not try again and they said all right then we're done no worries then
20:10
off you go she yeah she says that's not what happened I would have I would have
20:15
had another go but they just said let's just call it quits yeah so yeah I think
20:20
it it it would have been she presented a treatment it wasn't in line with the
20:25
direction and it must have been very very not in line with it
20:29
and uh and they said actually this isn't going to work you know what yeah so I
20:34
guess that means galado probably isn't Wonder Woman anymore either I mean this
20:38
is and this is a great opportunity to get rid of [ __ ] Ezra Miller so yeah yeah
20:43
although I I read an article this week that said the flash is as good as
20:49
Spider-Man no way home it's got Michael Keaton in it which
20:53
excites me I watched Batman Returns it also may have multiple flashes in it too
20:57
right yeah I heard I did hear that yeah cuz this is also it's definitely Ezra
21:02
mills's last time being the flash it's got to be right last time being [ __ ]
21:06
anything surely I can't imagine James gun saying no no we've decided to keep
21:10
Ezra Miller despite the bad press yeah so yeah yeah we fired galad do but we're
21:16
keeping Ezra Miller have they fired her no no not necessarily no but I mean seems likely
21:23
right she is so vanilla blando that I think they could easily replace her with
21:29
somebody with with any Charisma she like visually does a great job right visually
21:35
spot on great oh she's beautiful for sure no but even like her her
21:39
physicality everything is great it's just that she's not she's not a she's
21:43
not an actress yeah she's not she never claimed a be actress she's a model I
21:47
reckon I'll keep galado I reckon they keep it too I Robbie 100% keep Mar
21:52
Robbie she's already transcended one Paradigm Shift anyway from Suicide Squad into
21:59
yeah um who else I'm excited about this Flash movie now despite Ezra want to see
22:05
it else now because of Michael gon to be honest I just I'm excited to see that oh
22:11
yeah we we and um will he revive through
22:16
re-shoot or whatever is he considering the back go movie they've already filmed
22:21
D apparently they said he had a meeting with the directors I don't know what
22:24
that means but yeah can we fix this maybe
22:29
um there's the I mean we'll get back to Henry Cav's week but this after this DC
22:34
rapbit hole but there is some other news that might be upsetting to Luke M uh the
22:39
rock might be in trouble of some sort because
22:44
apparently well Black Adam is uh a bit of a flop it seems it's going to lose 50
22:50
to100 million for Warner Brothers did any of us see it luk you luk you're the
22:55
most likely to have seen it and you okay so this is a superhero movie staring
22:58
your favorite actor and you still didn't go and see it and you are still the only
23:04
cinemao Patron here Among Us and you didn't even see this this is why this
23:08
movie is a flop even even like the flash we just talking about is meant to be
23:12
like really really good I'm probably not going to go see that one I don't care
23:16
fish Universe I don't know I I don't know Black Adam from The conomics I I'll
23:23
he's not on my radar at all it's not I mean as far as I'm aware he's not one of
23:28
the big ticket DC superheroes and so I was a bit surprised that The Rock was
23:33
talking him up so much cuz he made a big fuss about how it was the Adam cuz he
23:38
thought caval was done he thought Superman was done and I know that he was
23:41
upset about this caval announcement coming back yeah a couple of weeks ago
23:47
and then the article I read the other day the reason he's in trouble or may be
23:50
in trouble is uh apparently he or his people may have
23:56
misrepresented financially uh how Black Adam did in the beginning
24:01
to secure um kind of more funding and advertising dollars and stuff like that
24:07
and so there's some talk basically Warner executives are saying
24:12
allegedly they lied to us about some of these numbers to make it look like this
24:16
film was more successful than it was right which is not good well because I
24:23
think genuinely I think if that's true he probably thought it was going to be
24:27
more successful just gamed and lost why would they be getting their numbers from
24:32
The Rock and not they're the distributor publisher it's his production company
24:38
right that does that that made it presumably right like Warner Brothers
24:40
paid for it but I'm guessing I maybe I'm wrong but I mean that's certainly what
24:46
the article said was that the Rocks people had misrepresented some
24:49
financials to do with the film in order to make it look like it had been more
24:53
financially successful than yeah his company's called seven bucks Productions
24:57
h CU that's all he had in his wallet but they found out it cost well over
25:03
$7 that's right yeah dozens of dollars
25:08
more look I maybe I'll watch this when it comes on Disney plus I like I'll
25:13
watch anything where P DC movie comes on Disney plus oh is that how that works in
25:18
Australia I just realized as they said that maybe they are on there no and
25:22
actually I realiz that's not what I meant where did the DC movies go they want to go
25:27
to a shotter Gun there's not a one station for them this isn't in the
25:32
spreadsheet either but I think some of them were going to HBO Max but like HBO
25:36
Max is oh man butchering they are butchering [ __ ] now I don't understand
25:40
what's going on they've thrown Westworld in the trash
25:46
completely [ __ ] you yeah you don't get any of the seasons now so I don't know
25:50
what's going on over there Warner Brothers just got insane so weird yeah
25:55
not not only Westworld there were other shows too but that was the big one that
25:57
I was like what what they're just not even going to let us watch the old
26:00
season forget it what are you talking about like what do you lose by letting
26:05
me watch season one of West I don't understand I don't understand um if not
26:11
to get off black you watching it or are you upset that you can't no no I've been
26:14
watching I I've watched Westworld all the way along I I'd watch West one day
26:20
oh no no interest in going back no actually that's not true I I did want to
26:24
go back and watch season one because it's it's so good and it drops off like
26:29
steeply after that from very very good to just quite good but um just bringing
26:36
it back to Henry caval by way of Black Adam I do want to watch Black Adam
26:41
eventually because I'll watch anything where Pierce brosen has a beard because
26:45
they they're the kind of movies I like I like Pier brosen with the beard movies
26:48
is Henry caval in this movie I've heard rumors that he is at least in a post CR
26:53
scene yeah yeah okay um good good I like
26:58
that that's good um and also just in terms of Avatar before we get off that
27:04
completely sure if I don't see this at the movies which I probably won't I will
27:10
never see this because as far as I'm concerned there's no reason to watch
27:13
this not in 3D cuz as you say Matt this is made to watch in
27:18
3dh so watching it in 2D would be like me just reading the book of it well
27:22
there are ways to do that I don't I'm not fully across all that but I think I
27:26
think our listener Nate has a 3D TV correct me if I'm wrong Nate you can't
27:31
just invite me to Nate's house to watch movies at his house I've just have so
27:36
well Nate I'll be place at some point soon when it comes out on streaming yeah
27:42
for being a three-hour movie I you have to
27:45
buy yeah watching it at home in 2D 3
27:50
hours is a very long time because a lot of a big three episodes of a TV show to
27:56
be all right what's that phenomenon there's got to be a name for that
28:00
there's an article about that the other day actually I know we'd already talked about it
28:05
though read the article and I was like oh they've stolen this off Luke that was
28:08
his thing what's the psychology of that but it's it's so like I won't watch a
28:11
movie over two hours but I will watch four 1 hour episodes of something back
28:15
to back back it's got to be something about the way they're structured with
28:20
like the cliff speed of consumption where it's like oh you finished one you
28:24
start a new one it feels like a new thing where it's 2 hours you're like
28:27
[ __ ] halfway through this like well it's also when you're sitting down to
28:32
start like if you cuz with a 1 hour show if there's four you've got an out if you
28:37
decide stop any time what oh you you watch the whole thing but you've got
28:42
that 1 hour sitting down to watch 1 hour that's fine sitting down to watch 2
28:46
hours that's a bit more of a commitment sure yeah yeah I
28:50
can it's a TV show yeah well back on Henry kavl he uh there was some
28:56
speculation after the an announcement that maybe he'd be able to go back to
29:01
The Witcher cuz there's you know a lot of talk about the reason he dropped out
29:04
of The Witcher is because he was told he was going to be Superman so uh he will
29:09
not be returning to The Witcher they're proceeding as planned um don't really
29:14
know if if he called them to ask like
29:18
well yeah this is was it was he looking for an just so just so you guys know
29:23
he's he's he's done with us we're not yeah cuz I don't know if he'll super
29:28
happy there no no I know there well there was that too he he he he wasn't
29:33
from what I understand also been a bit of an out for him at the same time but
29:39
just it seems so weird for them to cuz for him to have been leaving and then to
29:44
get a replacement there would have had to have been conversations about him
29:48
going to be Superman it wouldn't have just been like a no he said on Instagram
29:52
they told him you need to announce this yeah to make it official and then they
29:57
and then James G called him and said yes sorry about that so I wonder how much
30:00
money he gets paid to not do anything yeah question there'll be a compensate
30:06
him yeah because there's got to be millions in that well there a couple of
30:10
days there where we were all feeling bad for Henry Cavell and I Ian I still do
30:16
it's not a nice thing to have happened and and just I just I don't know why I
30:19
just like Henry the other thing I read too was yeah me too maybe even worse
30:24
there was talk about maybe he could do James Bond except he was up for James
30:27
Bond when Daniel Craig was but they told him he was too young and now they're
30:32
looking for someone younger for the new James Bond he's too old it's like oh
30:37
another kick in the face like I think he'd be great win I think he would too
30:43
but like yeah they go because apparently they want somebody for 10 years like
30:47
they want to lock someone into a 10 year which is which is my thing about
30:50
Superman as well that's why they're probably going young so they can keep
30:53
him on lock someone in whereas cuz he's been Superman for about that now right
30:58
yeah and I don't think he's got another 10 years looking like
31:02
Superman I don't know man he's an inred shape yeah yeah but he's getting to that
31:08
age where that becomes a bit harder to keep up yeah but he's he's got a really
31:12
big I don't look like that it's just how old is he he's he's I think
31:18
he's nearly 40 he's 38 or something born in 83 okay yeah so he's almost 40 yeah
31:24
yeah and if you look for another 10 years that means he'd be coming up like
31:28
yeah that's a a 50y old playing Superman but he could do James Bond for 10 years
31:33
James Bond could be starting off at 40 and ending up at 50 that's essentially
31:37
agree with actually and you know what that'd be more appealing to me anyway
31:40
because I'm an old man now yeah or are they going young like they aiming for
31:44
something in their 20s or something well do you remember the '90s cartoon show
31:48
James Bond Jr where it was uh James James Bond junr it was his uncle yeah it
31:54
was his yeah even though James Bond 100%
31:57
does not have a brother in the cannon um especially not one that he's close to
32:04
his brother's kids and then passes missions to occasionally even though
32:07
he's in college Canon I think you mean Walter PPK
32:12
oh um but I yeah no I would watch Henry caval as Bond any day and I think they
32:18
could make it a little bit more campy but not broen campy they could just make
32:24
it the same kind of Comedy that the wi is cuz I think that's the perfect mix of
32:30
comedy and action is The Witcher like it is very funny and it's funny to watch
32:37
him take something very seriously in a very strange situation but then you'll
32:41
watch an action sequence and it's legitimately the best action you've ever
32:45
seen you guys didn't watch all the season to did you I'm going to go back
32:48
and watch it now cuz I miss him already some stuff in the later episodes
32:53
some good action stuff so I don't know Season Two just didn't grip me like the
32:57
first season I'm going to try to let it grip me I'm going to put it right in
33:00
hand first I had to watch twice to get oh yeah but but in a good way right
33:07
like blew my mind when I realized that how that multiple timeline thing worked
33:11
yeah that was one thing they needed to make that a lot clearer when we're
33:15
jumping forward and backwards I read the book I kind of already I knew but yeah
33:20
but like thinking about it afterwards I was like oh okay yeah that probably was
33:23
confusing so couple of days where we we were feeling sorry for him and and even
33:28
people celebrities online were you know kind of making jokes about it and um
33:34
someone we all admire Ro Coley uh said jokingly he's also a big Warhammer 40K
33:40
fan known for figurine painting as Henry caval is and he tweeted at him and said
33:45
hey man if you just want to hook up and make a warmer 40,000 movie or something
33:48
I'll be up for it and then then mysteriously the next day Henry caval
33:53
was like well actually I am making a a 40K TV series M with
33:58
Amazon and uh and R had to come out and say I didn't know about that I'm not in it
34:04
don't to say stop speculating stop specul you come and be in my
34:08
show he was like no I didn't know about I was just joking I'm not in it don't
34:12
print the Articles saying I'm don't read into it um okay so a number of things
34:17
here uh awesome and I still love I think Luke is right that that is kind of
34:21
partly why we love Henry caval is because he's a [ __ ] hot actor jock
34:27
body Builder but also complete nerd I get joy out of what I watched the
34:32
entirety of that 1 hour clip online of him just building his own PC like that
34:38
was amazing he has a YouTube or he has or he had a YouTube channel where he did
34:43
you know he be doing doing his workouts in his garage and then he he likes to go
34:47
bike riding he's got like a a bike stuff like that and I'm like this guy's just
34:51
[ __ ] cool yeah there's [ __ ] you can watch videos of him just painting
34:54
Warhammer figures yeah that's what I mean yeah he's but I also I love watching his workout
35:00
videos too have you have you ever watched his like him working out with
35:04
his trainer it's it's not like you know when you watch even Schwarzenegger right
35:07
when he works out has like this [ __ ] ugly intense face he puts on and you can
35:12
say like C looks like it's [ __ ] easy he loves it he does it like a ballet
35:17
dancer practicing some beautiful routine like
35:22
every part of his body is perfectly held in position and I'm watching him do
35:27
reverse sit-ups you know the ones where you lock your legs in and then you go
35:30
from incline to to flat and I mean I've never done them but but I know you know
35:36
you've yeah yeah I've only seen Henry Cav every now and then I watch YouTube
35:40
videos of how to work out just to remind myself so you're just watching he will
35:45
work out you're not joining you no what am I going to do what am I going to do
35:50
um but days where I feel like I want to be someone who does work out I watch
35:54
those videos and then I'll for that's right yeah and then I'll order some
35:57
supplement online and put them in my in my pantry and a
36:01
pizza yeah oh I had a good pizza last night I got crusted and actually they
36:05
sent me the wrong pizza and I was like oh this is the wrong pizza oh I don't
36:09
care it's still delicious I'm actually like with this
36:12
warmer 40K though that they're actually going a series not a movie listen to you
36:17
cuz yesterday I was told it was a movie you be better off as a series now
36:21
suddenly they're reporting it's a series yeah I think it's going to be better as
36:25
a series cuz it's and this is I think remember the World of Warcraft movie
36:31
that's so that's what I was going to ask terrible that dunan Jones wasn't it it
36:34
was dun Jones I think could been better as a series and I think this is the same
36:38
cuz like awful we need more of it no no
36:41
no but what I mean is it's because you got a bit more time can't do enough in
36:47
the movie Set up a story and stuff whereas it seems counterintuitive but
36:53
you are right yes yeah you can do more like if they made West world just movie
36:58
like it wouldn't have it's like when they adapt games and the game like a
37:02
game 100s but P that movie next series like yeah a video game that takes you
37:08
100 hours to play they'll go oh here's a 2hour movie it's like what the [ __ ] yeah
37:12
come on yeah yeah yeah whereas I'm not saying it needs to be like a 20 hour
37:17
thing but just having little bit more time
37:21
epes wacky scenarios each week speaking of which you know what I popped on the
37:26
other day I don't know what what what brain Rabbit Hole train of thought got
37:30
me here yeah just relaxing Liv his best
37:34
life he looks like when uh at8 Falls
37:39
over cuz he yeah exactly he looks like tied up by a speed even oh I mean we've got Star
37:46
Wars news too if we want to quickly segue to that too Ryan Johnson is still
37:50
talking about his his Trilogy um is anyone else he's come disne he has said
37:57
he will reluctantly step down if required
38:02
but he's not happy about it he said I think the quote was it wouldn't be the
38:07
end of the world if I didn't get to do it but it would be very sad but I would
38:10
have a sad life from then on yeah I would feel like a failure yeah so can
38:16
Disney just just keep ignoring this I just hope he just loses interest I don't
38:23
think they have ignored it I have to fire him oh that was the other thing too with
38:28
the Patty Jenkins thing right was that apparently the reason that they the
38:31
reason Rogue Squadron got canned is because she said oh I'm going to do
38:35
Wonder Woman 3 instead and so they [ __ ] canned her movie Her Star Wars movie and
38:39
now they've [ __ ] canned the Wonder Woman movie who is Patty Jenkins outside of
38:43
Wonder Woman what has she done oh I don't uh do I know do did she
38:50
do some else yeah no no no that that's who I'm thinking right no Katherine
38:56
Bigalow did that Catherine big used to be married to James Cameron we were all
38:59
thinking of that same wrong person yeah she did something before has Pat J ever
39:04
made a good movie because I don't I don't believe the Wonder Woman's are good
39:09
movies no uh oh monster she did monster
39:13
what oh not the one with um I mean I don't remember that was good I remember
39:19
I know I saw it at the time with sh's
39:21
there on and Christina Richi but um rest development
39:27
the rest of Development episodes there you go yeah okay right so no not knew
39:33
Ron Howard yes and Brian Glazer not a bad
39:38
group to people Entourage five to killing betrayal yeah her first movie
39:43
was Wonder Woman yeah okay wow all right so we might never see her again um
39:48
speaking of Netflix TV series which is like The Witcher uh just briefly wanted
39:52
to mention I'm watching Wednesday and it's uh I didun
39:58
okay it's good it's I you know I was a huge Tim Burton fan yes early on bit
40:03
disappointed by the things he's done of late but this is fun okay I attempted to
40:09
watch it in hospital and then realized after I had the first episode playing I
40:15
didn't watch any of it so I was going to try and watch it
40:20
now I'm not even watching this I'm just I'm just jerking
40:24
off yeah no it's funny it's it's will it rekindle my love timton because I'm like
40:31
you Matt he there was a time where I would have said Tim Burton is my
40:35
favorite director yeah yeah yeah absolutely I hands down favorite
40:41
yes my favorite director I would have said Tim Burton easily because I know we
40:46
talked about this the late 0s through to the mid to late '90s it was just I know
40:53
but when I was 9 years old my dad took me to see Batman and it B my [ __ ]
40:57
mind and I was like Tim Burton is my favorite director Danny Alman is my
41:01
favorite composer Michael Keaton is my favorite actor like like that's yeah
41:06
Prince is my favorite pop star it influenced all the stuff I like
41:11
about Kim Binger is my favorite one night stand that won't go
41:17
away yeah no no no but you're right and then retrospectively you go back and you
41:22
watch Beetle Juice and it is an absolute classic film and then you build on from
41:27
there he does Edwood which is one of my favorite movies of all Ed amazing yeah
41:33
Batman Returns I loved I know people are mixed on that I [ __ ] love that movie
41:36
I'm coming around on that I must admit I still love it on recently well well uh
41:42
it Batman Returns is silly right I'm watching I watching again the other week
41:45
and I was like yeah no this is silly but I'm just used to it um Wednesday is also
41:49
silly MH but I think it's good and it makes it very clear at the beginning of
41:54
the show how silly it's going to be right because like the opening sequence
41:58
she gets kicked out of the school that she's at because she puts piranha in the
42:01
in the pool and they and they chew a kid's testicle off okay yeah sounds
42:08
Adams Family the tone of this Sil it's just a strange and sort of hard to
42:13
judged cuz I'm trying from just watching that opening scene it's s like is it
42:18
real world is it not because it's not because the town that that this the
42:23
boarding school she get sent to is near this town the the sheriff knows that
42:26
they were aware and he knows this and that it's like it's all yeah maybe this
42:32
was kind of tonally similar to Riverdale but it doesn't sound like necessarily
42:37
that's a good analog either no I don't think so it's just uh what does it s
42:43
yeah that's CU that's what I originally thought it was going to be that r i
42:46
don't like Ral but I thought it was going to be like that real world just
42:49
taking the sort of character sort of is very high type of thing I don't know the
42:53
first season of Riverdale was very good it really dropped off after that though
42:57
yeah now this this has got it's got vampires werewolves creatures of that
43:02
sort in it people know about them and it's not you know it not I don't think
43:06
everybody in the world knows about them but are the ad Family themselves
43:10
Supernatural or are they just Goths well thing is in it right okay it's something
43:16
interesting about thing right that I learned recently okay M what is thing
43:21
it's a hand he's a hand no wrong okay up until The Adams Family movie in the '90s
43:26
thing was was not a disembodied hand came yeah but he wasn't a hand in a box
43:33
he was an entire being in a box who only stuck his hand out that was the gag and
43:38
the gag was he was so hideous they could only show you his hand and then the
43:45
movie made it just a disembodied hand oh okay well he's a disembodied hand in
43:49
this yeah sure but the um the other thing that I learned recently about The
43:54
Adams Family that I that blew my mind in the Comics right the characters didn't have
44:00
names their last name wasn't Adams the guy who drew them's name was Adams it
44:05
was the Adams Family right oh interesting okay people started
44:10
referring to them as The Adams Family and so when they did the TV show they
44:14
were Mr and Mrs Adams but they also didn't have first names and they let the
44:19
actors choose them oh so John Austin
44:23
chose Gomez as his name why not yeah H well I recommend checking it out it's
44:30
good it's I've saw that the numbers on it are going gang busters
44:34
people good yeah I keep seeing everything coming up about her dancing
44:39
for some yeah I haven't seen that bit yet man she's very good in this she's
44:42
very funny like as Wednesday like her performance is is good so you
44:47
occasionally look up from jerking off at the performance is what you're saying
44:52
sure yeah yeah I saw an interview with her where she said that um she she did
44:57
her best not to Blink and apparently um she would stop takes she no I blinked we
45:02
have to do it again no like she's not heard of editing they could just cut
45:06
away to another scene where she wasn't anyway yeah it's good good performances
45:11
is funny um it's very that kind of dry humor that's like it's silly like she's
45:17
she's ridiculous and she's like the best at everything but it's I don't know it's
45:21
done well I liked it so I've liked it so far I've not watched all of it so far
45:24
it's good I'll give it a go yeah I want a little go of it I've been watching
45:28
random stuff recently and I I kind of started talking about it before and then
45:31
got derailed but this week I watched an episode in fact I watched the first
45:36
episode of Gilligan's Island Gilligan's
45:42
Island right because it popped into my head it popped into my head that there
45:46
was an entire sitcom that went for like 10 years or something where people were
45:49
on an island admittedly only 3 hours from the coast of America right yeah and
45:55
I'm like how did they come up with a show where every episode they manag to not be
46:02
found or not get off the island so I watched the first episode
46:07
where they they actually do get marooned um and and evidently and they build a
46:13
raft to like sail away and I'm like yeah okay well I mean this makes sense right
46:18
why isn't that every episode or why isn't this only a one episode thing
46:21
right um but sharks eat the raft while they're on it they're four days out at
46:27
sea sharks eat the raft they're on and so they get Shipwrecked back on the same
46:32
Island the island what are the [ __ ] chances it's pretty funny though I
46:38
laughed out loud more than once I'll say that you'll appreciate this I was at
46:44
trivia last night and the the picture
46:47
round was movie and TV license plates and there was one I was like oh I'm
46:54
familiar with that Robin one was one of the license plates nice the Magnum PI
47:00
Ferrari license plate mhm and Robin 2 is the Audi oh I haven't gotten that far
47:06
yet oh yeah oh is that the one that Higgins drives Higgins drives the Audi
47:11
yeah yeah okay although at one point at one point Higgins prevents he forbids uh
47:16
Magnum from driving the the Ferrari anymore and so mag drives the AUD a
47:22
little bit yeah I love I love how much
47:25
they this gag That No One Believes he
47:29
would drive a Ferrari yeah like um yeah everyone I mean there's there's
47:35
like characters will say it to his face but then there'll just be little gags
47:39
like he'll pull up at like at a club and a a valet will go thanks sir I'll I'll
47:45
I'll keep it clean for whoever actually owns this and stuff like that just
47:49
little and there's this one bit where he gets rear ended by an old lady on the
47:54
highway and he gets out and she's like oh I'm so sorry please apologize to
47:58
whoever owns this car like complete stranger doesn't believe it's his
48:05
car yeah it's a good show it's an excellent show I'm sorry it's excellent
48:11
I'm even tempted to watch the Remake it's ridiculous but it's where Higgin is
48:14
a is a beautiful woman before I want to talk about this
48:19
is a Christmas episode guys in oh it is too you want to wear this this will come
48:22
out just before Christmas so this will be our Christmas episode and we
48:25
don't Merry Christmas we have a lot of stuff to talk about so I don't want to
48:29
take too long but I did want to do a little christmy thing and I want to talk
48:33
about two Christmas traditions that I I'm not sure we've talked about these
48:36
before and I thought they were
48:38
interesting the first is uh I don't know
48:44
uh you guys have been to Japan I believe are you both been to Japan I have not
48:47
was it Christmas when you were there no
48:49
no apparently back in the 70s KFC did a
48:55
big ad campaign MH called Kentucky for Christmas and it's since then it's like
49:00
actually become a tradition in Japan to get KFC for Christmas wow that's the
49:05
thing like you for Christmas you you get KFC that's a huge thing in Japan and
49:11
they don't celebrate Christmas as such right they just as a as a you know an
49:15
interesting Western thing they do it why the [ __ ] would they but you know like
49:20
but uh but Kentucky for Christmas apparently people they'll line up around
49:24
the block for it which I just thought was so funny me about that cuz she lived
49:27
there when she was studying and yeah that's it is a thing like it is it was a
49:32
marketing thing that just took off and that's yes a marketing success of
49:36
extreme proportions yeah it became a tradition that's wonderful MH I love it
49:41
that they arbitrarily placed that on the holiday of a foreign culture and then
49:46
embraced it like like can we do that like should we should we get Hungry
49:50
Jacks every devali from now on you know what I mean like imagine but imagine
49:55
they tried that I imagine the backlash if if [ __ ] Burger King came out and said Hungry
50:01
Jacks in Australia came out and said celebrate Valley this people be like [ __ ]
50:06
you back off I think yeah there was a bit of backlash even about um KFC with
50:11
the cricket a few years ago oh really get while you're watching the cricket
50:17
yeah I remember those ads yeah but I think they had was some do the Indian
50:21
cricket I can't remember it I shouldn't have brought it up cuz I cannot remember
50:24
the controversy h I was trying to think now Indians can eat chickens well the
50:29
ones who are vegetarian I thought that too actually I was like yeah you know
50:32
what's funny when you go to India there are cows everywhere they are in the
50:37
streets and you are not allowed to like cut them off you have to just stop and
50:42
wait for that cow to go CS if you're a shop like a food store and a cow just
50:47
comes in and starts eating you have to you have to just let it eat you should
50:50
have shut the door mate yeah if you didn't want that cow in there yeah they
50:54
could just wander into a building and theyve got right away yeah that was one
50:57
of the two things that I thought was probably not true that was true and the
51:01
other one was the Shaky Head thing oh I've seen about how yeah and about how like
51:07
talking to them and they're just doing this yeah yeah and and as I mean not
51:11
even westerners just as people who haven't been doing it their whole lives
51:14
you're not doing it right it's one of those things correct like trying to
51:17
pronounce you know like Asian language words and things like that is you're
51:20
doing it wrong you don't know that you're doing it wrong because you can't
51:23
tell for some reason I still know if if it's a yes or a no when I'm talking to
51:28
him and I'm asking a question with yeah a somehow it's more of an
51:33
acknowledgement yeah or maybe it's a context or maybe it's like how in
51:37
Italian CH means both goodbye and hello
51:40
but you never get confused yeah
51:44
yeah so the other tradition that I wanted to mention and I'm I'd be
51:49
surprised if Luke doesn't know about this and again I don't think we've
51:51
talked about this before is this is Swedish tradition do you know about the
51:54
Swedish Christmas tradition that would be particularly of interest to you lukee
51:58
getting joked off by a swed it's called K Anka K Anka which is Swedish for
52:05
Donald Duck and this is I mean I'm this article
52:11
is very in-depth uh and I'll share in the show notes but apparently this is a
52:15
thing uh ever since
52:18
1959 every Christmas in Sweden they play
52:23
at the same time uh it's Disney thing called from all of us to all of you it's
52:29
a Walt Disney Christmas special oh yeah or in Swedish they call it Donald Duck
52:34
and his friends wish you a Merry Christmas uh and it's a Christmas
52:38
special with a whole bunch of sketches and cartoons I watched this the other
52:42
day really there you go and well and the predominant thing in it is a Donald Duck
52:48
sketch yes so Christmas sketch yeah yeah exactly right it's a Christmas thing and
52:53
they play this on all channels at once at the same time as you're saying it has
52:57
been played uh I think it's just on one channel but it's been played every year
53:02
on December 24th at 3 p.m. and as of the Year this article was written roughly
53:09
50% of the whole country will sit down and watch this and it's they take it
53:13
very seriously everybody stops what they're doing sits down watches Donald
53:17
Duck as the world should you don't talk over it they they take it very and then
53:24
this this article says that they just sit there and then like this person who
53:27
wrot this arle sat down with the family and all they did every now and then was
53:30
just kind of like you know you you kind of repeat or you yeah yeah say the words
53:34
as the character saying them because you know it so well that kind of thing they
53:37
took very seriously this person was like the [ __ ] are we doing right
53:41
now wow that's great so yeah that's like [ __ ] how many years is that 1959
53:48
that's like 50 60 years you know what's funny too is that I I I popped that on
53:53
it's on Disney plus the other day and we saw like oh it's a Christmas thing we
53:57
we'll put it on yeah right um TV we we must have watched like if if we saw any
54:04
Disney cartoons at all when we were kids a they were broadcast on analog um
54:10
pal uh like broadcast television yeah
54:14
that was a Bea cam Master taped off of some other beam Master taped off some
54:21
film stock that was scanned from some old and Ted Like I thought this must
54:26
have been new because it was so high def but and then it's like oh no no this is
54:32
from the 50s right they they that's not new he's dead yes but
54:38
yeah but there's still Disney things that come out there you can still watch
54:42
a Donald Duck show that's new but this just isn't one this is very old but um
54:47
there's one scene this is this is one of those ones where it's got It's got the
54:50
little ducks Hy JY and Louie but they're not in their like classic colors and
54:55
stuff that they will eventually known ductal but there's one scene that
55:01
like you can't you can't ignore it where they sit down to eat a Christmas turkey
55:07
and it's like these are ducks these are birds with a bird on the table like it's
55:14
really disturbing it's a turkey it's not a duck if they eat to a duck and it
55:19
might be a little different this tweet the other day someone was like my secret
55:22
skill is that I can identify birds and someone replied with a picture and said
55:26
oh yeah what's this then picture and can't fool me that's a
55:33
bird [ __ ] yes that's amazing you nailed it that's like there was a a fast
55:39
forward sketch um where they had the years ago where they had um one of these
55:44
fake talk shows where they're like this guy can talk to the animals and they're
55:48
like how long have you been able to talk to animals he's like since I was a kid
55:50
they're like wow and it goes on and on and on and on and they like talk to this
55:54
this duck or something and he talks to it and then it's just this long pause
55:56
he's like they've never talked back
56:02
though that's like how I can name the capital of any city capital of any
56:06
country go ask me okay Sweden ask me Sweden
56:13
s right very good so anyway I thought this was a Christmas tradition that would be right
56:20
of You Luke and I I think you should adopt it I think I
56:24
might now I want disne it's easier yeah
56:28
exactly it is yeah it is so listeners at 300 p.m. on Christmas Eve stop what
56:33
you're doing sit down and watch Donald Duck with Luke and half of Sweden yes at
56:40

56:44

56:49
become a patreon at the at the required tier and you can join us in the
56:55
Afterparty for yes more show every every
56:59
single week um so do that um but before
57:03
we do head over there uh James Cameron has said that he feels that he through
57:09
Avatar has empowered women and the same way as as Marvel has empowered women I
57:15
think he said infinitely better than Marvel sure yeah okay I was giving him I
57:20
was giving him the benefit of the doubt but Luke would you say that's the case
57:23
would you say that this is a feminist film not
57:28
really I mean there are women in it I I I suspect there are women in it and it's
57:34
not like they're weak or anything but the the the leaders I think I know one
57:39
of the characters he's talking about so when they go to the Sea Village to live
57:44
there there's the the [ __ ] Village there's the male leader and he
57:49
goes oh bit worried about talking to this guy but I was more worried about
57:51
talking to his wife who's but and they all look at each other and go women
57:56
women yeah nag nag nag eh anyway enjoy [ __ ]
58:03
[Laughter]
58:07
Village sorry sorry I did
58:16
here oh no he's not going to repeat it I'll tell you that isn't that what you said I no no
58:22
just ripping on your it is it is it is yeah yeah I suddenly thought maybe I
58:27
misheard you and then I
58:33
just sorry sorry but just on a on a similar note just to end on um Jennifer
58:39
Lawrence has come out this week and said she she would like some praise and some
58:45
recognition for being the first female
58:48
star of an action movie and um and it's great Ridley Scott has come out and said
58:54
yeah he based uh Ripley in alien on on
59:00
Jennifer Lawrence's performance in The Hunger Games very
59:04
good yeah like that's a big call to come out when it's very I saw there was some
59:10
followup from her where she said oh that's I didn't that's not what I meant
59:13
it was a bad I spoke yes it was yeah yeah you did don't get me wrong she did
59:19
very well in that I think they're garbage movies but um she does perfectly
59:23
well maybe she has seen a lot of movies thought she was there's heaps of young
59:28
girls who yeah well it's like how kids always think that their favorite songs
59:32
aren't covers of old May is she maybe talking about that more mainstream that
59:36
for younger audience cuz remember aliens wasn't for remember remember when George
59:41
Lucas said that red Tales was the first film ever that with a little old black
59:46
main cast and it was like no mate it's not lots of those really not it it might
59:52
be the first made by a white person yeah possibly probably not even but yeah
59:57
maybe well it's it's like I I if you if you're playing the drinking game Dan's
1:00:01
about to talk about auson Wells again for a sec um but Austin Wells
1:00:06
meaningless put on this play uh called Voodoo McBeth which he put on in Harlem
1:00:11
in the 20s and it was the the first all black Shakespeare that had been done in
1:00:17
the mainstream and it was very very relevant and got a lot of press but what
1:00:22
they don't talk about today necessarily is that when the lead actor occasionally
1:00:27
couldn't go on he was sick or something Aon went on in
1:00:36
blackface [ __ ] off unironically we're just polish up
1:00:43
and on must go on
1:00:47
yeah just a dager before me just do
1:00:54
anything just do anything so funny I'm glad you put those
1:00:59
clips in cuz I loved hearing those again and I hadn't heard the Shatner one and
1:01:03
that was so good sh's good okay yeah I'm pretty sure I nailed it exactly the way
1:01:09
you said just amazing the one thing I was going
1:01:14
to note with this James Cameron so Luke there's a pregnant character in this
1:01:19
who's a warrior yeah MH he's called that out and then he actually then calls out
1:01:24
uh Wonder Woman Captain Marvel all these amazing women come up but they're not
1:01:28
moms and they're not pregnant while they're fighting fighting evil and it
1:01:30
just made me think he probably doesn't know this but I think galado was
1:01:35
literally pregnant when they filmed one of the Wonder Woman movies cuz they made
1:01:38
a big deal about it so I was like I mean it's not in the film so he's not wrong
1:01:42
but it just made me think of that and I was like yeah I bet he doesn't know that
1:01:45
otherwise he wouldn't have used that as an example that's great yeah but to
1:01:49
bring this full circle he was married to Katherine Bigalow who did make the H
1:01:53
locker and Zero Dark 30 that we talked about before and thought that was Patty
1:01:56
Jenkins P Jenkins that's the circle of logic you get on this podcast he was
1:02:01
married to um why can't I think of a [ __ ] name you know who I mean Sarah
1:02:05
Connor mhm oh um Linda Hamilton she also
1:02:09
based her performance on on Jennifer
1:02:13
