Latest / Multiple Nerdgasm / Getting Animated: Firefly Animated Series & Buffy Reboot Scrapped
Transcript
- 0:03Welcome to multiple Nerdgasm, a comedy show about all things
- 0:09nerdy. I finished watching the bunnies
- 0:14win. It was a very tough game.
- 0:17Bunnies versus the turtles. Versus the Tigers.
- 0:21The Tigers. So Bunny beating a tiger, That's
- 0:24pretty something to write home about.
- 0:26Did anybody get eaten? No.
- 0:29No. But some of the tigers got hurt
- 0:31and it's never good to see when they'll be out for some time.
- 0:33But also made me. Realize it got hurt?
- 0:35See. That's counterintuitive.
- 0:36But it's also made me realize how much damage I've done to my
- 0:40ankle. Well, you were playing, were
- 0:43you? No, I wasn't playing, but
- 0:45they've been talking about like doing your ATL and stuff and
- 0:47that could take you out for six months and things.
- 0:49Yes. Oh, I've actually really damaged
- 0:53myself. You've done that and just not
- 0:55just shrugged it off. Yeah, yeah, but no, I'm quite
- 1:00happy with the bunnies. We've got the highest Sky try
- 1:04scorer ever, right, Which beat a record that has been around for
- 1:09many, many years and no one thought anyone would ever beat
- 1:12it. Is that like per game or just in
- 1:14his life? In his life.
- 1:16Fuck all right, How many has he scored?
- 1:18214 now I think. OK, I mean, it sounds alike a
- 1:23lot. I don't watch.
- 1:25Football since I was a kid, or should say rugby league.
- 1:29Do they call it rugby league now?
- 1:30No. It's still.
- 1:31Footy, Yeah, yeah, but the official name is Rugby The.
- 1:34Official name is rugby league. Yeah, we call it the footy,
- 1:37yeah. No, no.
- 1:38And then AFL fans call their game the footy.
- 1:41Yeah, Yes, we do. Yeah, I haven't watched the AFL
- 1:45actually. Every year I pay for the the
- 1:51thing to watch it overseas, which is I think 150 bucks.
- 1:53And then we, yeah, it's on, it's on it like stupid clock and then
- 1:57we have a child and we're busy and then we don't watch it.
- 2:00And then every year I go, why am I spending the money on this?
- 2:02I'll just. Because you might watch it.
- 2:04I can, we can there's ways to watch them for free if we get
- 2:06the time to watch them. So I'll just figure that out
- 2:10you. Know, they're not quite legal
- 2:11ways, but there's ways. Oh.
- 2:13You can VPN, they just put them up on the AFL website if you're
- 2:16in Australia, which I can be. Yeah, well, the same way it
- 2:20depends on. Not all games are though.
- 2:27I don't know if they feel you know.
- 2:28What I don't, I don't know for sure.
- 2:30With rugby league they have certain games that are like
- 2:33every game, like Friday night game and the Sunday game, but on
- 2:37Saturday none of them are on free to air.
- 2:40Oh, OK. You got to pay.
- 2:42Pay for Yeah, there's an elephant in the room with us,
- 2:49where it's an elephant shaped like a spaceship speaking,
- 2:54shaped like a Firefly. I am.
- 2:56I'm going to be honest, I'm pissed off as I said I would be.
- 3:02OK, yeah, that's fair. All right.
- 3:04Explain. OK, so hang on, let's clarify
- 3:06for anybody who who for some reason has stumbled onto this
- 3:08and doesn't know what the fuck we're talking about.
- 3:10Yeah. So Nathan filling in has been
- 3:12going around, started a podcast, has been going around to the
- 3:15other actors from Firefly going making little skits and they're
- 3:19going. Is it time?
- 3:20Yes, it's time. And I said if he announced
- 3:25anything other than a live action thing, I was going to be
- 3:29upset. So if the comic book, animated
- 3:31series, anything like that. And what did he announce, Matt?
- 3:36They've announced Firefly will continue Season 2 as an animated
- 3:42series. Yeah, well.
- 3:44Maybe. It, it might continue.
- 3:47I should clarify that actually there's been some
- 3:49miscommunication about that too, I think.
- 3:51I think yes. Yeah, so he got.
- 3:55Evidently they got permission or well wishes from Joss Whedon.
- 3:59Who? Yes, but who is not involved?
- 4:02For obvious reasons, they do not want him involved, but they
- 4:05probably want him involved. But he shouldn't be involved.
- 4:08Disney, who owned the license, have agreed to it.
- 4:12They're not going to put any money behind it.
- 4:15Apparently not, no, but they've said you can do it if you want
- 4:18to. Yeah, if you can find someone to
- 4:21pay for it. Yes.
- 4:24And I think that's a lot of what the hype was to try and show
- 4:27that, hey, there isn't interest in it and I would watch it.
- 4:30I will watch it if it does come out.
- 4:32Yeah, but they've got everything's lined up.
- 4:35They've got all the caster involved, the ones who are still
- 4:37alive, all of the They've got a animation studio ready to go,
- 4:44even the. Writers are a married couple who
- 4:48met on Firefly, so it's all. Very like, yeah, so apparently
- 4:55everything's ready, except no one's picked it up yet.
- 4:59And he's got a Nathan Fillion's got to go pitch it to studios to
- 5:04some, like someone's got to pay for it.
- 5:05That's the that's the the crux of it.
- 5:08And yes. So which is not a minor hurdle
- 5:12because as we've seen this week with the Buffy news, even if you
- 5:17get someone to pay for a pilot, that doesn't mean anything.
- 5:20No. So although an animated series
- 5:23is different. It's, I think it should be.
- 5:25I think it's 'cause and it can work around 'cause you don't
- 5:29need all the actors in one spot at one time.
- 5:32They can record their stuff whenever and not.
- 5:34Only that I mean, I mean, we could kind of tie this in, I
- 5:37suppose, because it's very related.
- 5:38OK, so the Buffy reboot is not happening.
- 5:40No, which I'm a bit sad about 'cause I was starting to get
- 5:44excited for that. Yeah, yeah, me too.
- 5:47But then there's stuff coming out now about like maybe it
- 5:52wasn't actually very good and that's why they going ahead with
- 5:55it. Like the scripts leaked,
- 5:56although and then Sarah Michelle Gellar was like, oh, don't read
- 5:58those scripts. They're not the final scripts.
- 6:00And also, if the even if the pilot leaks, don't watch the
- 6:03pilot because the pilot is not the show.
- 6:06It's not. We didn't do a season.
- 6:08We just made a pilot to kind of give A and it's like, but you
- 6:10were trying to pitch it to a studio.
- 6:12Like, surely this pilot is supposed to represent what it.
- 6:16Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
- 6:17So you're saying you're telling the audience shouldn't watch it
- 6:19because it's not very good? Like I'm just I I understand
- 6:23she's passionate about it but I'm confused about why she
- 6:27wouldn't want people to see it. Yeah, it was like, you'd be
- 6:30good. But a lot of times you hear
- 6:32actors talk about we made this pilot and I wish I had a con
- 6:35somewhere. Yeah.
- 6:36No, I mean pilot and no, you don't wanna watch that.
- 6:40Yeah. What would it be Good Sarah?
- 6:42What's the why can't we watch it if it leaks?
- 6:46But anyway, so and the difference with this too is that
- 6:50the Buffy reboot doesn't did not have anybody except Sarah
- 6:54Michelle Gellar. And apparently, according to the
- 6:55leak script, she's not she wasn't in it very much anyway.
- 6:58It was like, that's. Going to be like the terrible
- 7:01thing. Like remember there was a like a
- 7:03last season of scrubs. Yes.
- 7:06And it was all different how Zach Braff or anyone you know,
- 7:09they made, they made an appearance, but it wasn't about
- 7:13them. And everyone went wild.
- 7:14No, no, that's, that's what they said.
- 7:15And and apparently the, the, the feedback from the studio on the
- 7:20script at first was you've, you've aimed this too young.
- 7:25The people who will watch this are older.
- 7:28You need to to to direct it at those people.
- 7:31Apparently that's the studio feedback.
- 7:33And then they made the pilot and then the studio apparently again
- 7:36said no. Again, you've you've targeting
- 7:40seemingly the wrong people, aged it up and then they went, you
- 7:43know, actually don't worry about.
- 7:44It yeah, we'll spend too much money on this and you're not
- 7:48getting the hint that your audience is.
- 7:51Your audience is in their 40s now.
- 7:54Yeah, yeah. Unless they were like, oh, we
- 7:55want to target young people and it's like.
- 7:58I mean young people, the only young people who will enjoy it
- 8:03are the ones whose parents have shown it to them and.
- 8:06Yeah. Enjoyed it with them and even
- 8:10those children are going to be grown up now as well.
- 8:15And I think, I don't know, I, I wonder, like if you showed a
- 8:19modern teen like somebody who was somebody the age we were
- 8:24when we watched Buffy in the 90s, would they like it?
- 8:28No, God, no. It's pretty janky but like.
- 8:32Especially like season 1. Right.
- 8:34But yeah, but, but all shows were then, and it had like
- 8:42cultural influence in a way that, like now I don't know that
- 8:47it would because the culture's changed so much.
- 8:50So I like the whole thing about aiming at the older people.
- 8:55Would you then alienate younger the younger audience?
- 8:58Because you do want the younger audience?
- 8:59I. Think there's a way you you
- 9:01could do it? Yeah.
- 9:02You probably need to realise like you want.
- 9:06What we want is just a a show about Giles.
- 9:10Yeah. Oh fuck yeah.
- 9:10That's what we want. Get Anthony Stewart head back,
- 9:13Yeah. Yeah, and about Stewart?
- 9:16Head. Why do I say it like that?
- 9:17It's Anthony Stewart Head. Head.
- 9:18I call him Anthony Stewart Head. Like Stewart, Head is one word,
- 9:21anyway. Whatever.
- 9:22But like, I'd like to see a show about that, about the sort of
- 9:26what he's going through. Yeah, the watches and then still
- 9:30have like your Scooby gang or whatever they're gonna call him
- 9:33as still there, but more of him going.
- 9:36What the fuck are they doing now?
- 9:40Yeah, I mean, I would watch it, but but Firefly has something
- 9:46that like the Buffy Ruby doesn't, which is it's got all
- 9:49the original cast. It's got every.
- 9:50It's basically it. It's except for the Shepherd.
- 9:54I can't remember the actor's name.
- 9:55Yeah, he he, he died. In my life 2016 I.
- 9:58Think so. They don't have him, but they've
- 9:59got everybody else, so it literally could be.
- 10:02In theory I could. Oh yeah.
- 10:04So it's set between season 1, which got cut short, and
- 10:09Serenity. So Wash is still alive.
- 10:11And if you look at Serenity, Serenity, you could see there's
- 10:16a lot of stuff that Serenity Saul spoke about, hinted at.
- 10:18And you go, he had a lot of stuff planned out that was going
- 10:22to lead up to that. Yeah.
- 10:26Yeah, it's such a bummer that I mean, we don't have to litigate
- 10:29this. We've been talking about this
- 10:30for what, 20 years now? It got canned for no, like no
- 10:32good reason. And they talk about on the
- 10:34podcast about how they, I think they said that they think they
- 10:38know who the executive is, the person who made the call to
- 10:42cancel the show. But apparently nobody owns up to
- 10:45it because it is broadly considered to have been a stupid
- 10:48decision because the show was clearly good.
- 10:53And it makes no sense. Like Josh Whedon, who at the
- 10:57time everyone loved. Was not just at the time we
- 11:00weren't aware that he was touching anybody.
- 11:03We weren't aware that he wasn't allowed in a room with some
- 11:05young girls. Exactly.
- 11:07We didn't know, didn't know any of that.
- 11:08We just liked his shows. He had three very successful
- 11:12shows back-to-back and then he comes out with this and they go
- 11:16now, now we're gonna change the revenue.
- 11:19He Dollhouse. Dollhouse was successful.
- 11:20It wasn't. Like Dollhouse was 4 Firefly,
- 11:22wasn't it? Was it?
- 11:25I think it's a question. You might, you might be right.
- 11:27Dollhouse before Firefly can't type listeners, you'll be
- 11:42shooting your part of the foxes. Dollhouse 2008.
- 11:46No, I think. No, no.
- 11:48Tough Goodness me, Dollhouse. Not to confuse Dollhouse.
- 11:56Dollhouse was come on, what year?
- 11:58Yeah, 2009 and then Firefly TV series 2002.
- 12:07So. For some reason in my head,
- 12:09Dollhouse was before Firefly. Yeah, No, no, no, like actually.
- 12:14And it makes sense because Alan Tudic is in Dollhouse.
- 12:17Yes, so and that was later, but but yes, you're right.
- 12:24And he's gone. So he had a six, two successful
- 12:27shows before that and then one afterwards.
- 12:28And then what else did he do after that?
- 12:30There's another just Whedon show after that, right?
- 12:32What am I am I not thinking of? Show I know he went off do like
- 12:36Marvel movies. Yeah, and the comments he did a.
- 12:38Lot of did he do ADC movie? Did he do that?
- 12:45He did. The agents.
- 12:46Oh, Doctor, horrible. Fuck, I forgot about that.
- 12:49Well yeah, Doctor Horrible was done during the writers strike.
- 12:54Yes. That's right.
- 12:55So he went out and went like, we're just going to make
- 12:57something for fun and show that you don't need.
- 13:02Yeah, big productions. OK, Dollhouse is the last big TV
- 13:08show he did. OK, looks like, Oh, the Nevers.
- 13:11So that's the one I'm thinking about.
- 13:13The Nevers, which I guess was not that successful.
- 13:17No, but look, he came off like 2 very successful TV shows that
- 13:22made people a lot of money and then he'd let him make 14
- 13:27episodes, release him out of order and then cancel it like.
- 13:32Yeah, nuts, but they to the end. OK, yeah, I know you are upset
- 13:39that it's animated and. They said I would be.
- 13:41In a way, but I mean, it does make sense because they're 20
- 13:48years older now, so the only way they can go back and do it
- 13:52before Serenity is to not physically be in it because
- 13:58nectophilia just doesn't look like that anymore.
- 14:01Well. Even summer glow.
- 14:04Right. They'll just they look diff.
- 14:05They're older, they look different.
- 14:06Except the doctor, actually, he looks exactly the same.
- 14:08Yeah. But yeah, like they've aged.
- 14:11It's been a long time. Like 2002?
- 14:13That's what, 24 years ago? Yeah, yeah, it's ridiculous.
- 14:18So I think I just. Got my hopes up that.
- 14:21Yeah, and because it it means Wash can be alive, they can.
- 14:25They can just pop the story, you know, continue season 1 where it
- 14:28left off and they can if they want to.
- 14:30They don't have to, but they could have someone else do the
- 14:33voice of. Do the voice shepherd.
- 14:34Yeah, Shepherd. So he could also be in it if
- 14:36they wanted. To and I also like the fact that
- 14:38like even though Shepherd, I would have loved to have known
- 14:42what his story was, even in Serenity, they basically went
- 14:45not you never had to worry about it.
- 14:47Yeah. So yeah, they're not going to.
- 14:51Well, Serenity had the I know Serene is different, right?
- 14:55People talk about how the tone of it's different and it kind of
- 14:59it, but it it had to do a different job because it was a
- 15:01movie and you had to like people who had not watched the show go
- 15:07see movies. And so it kind of like it was
- 15:10like a weird thing where it's it's wrapping up this TV show
- 15:16that we all were familiar with, but also they had to be
- 15:20watchable by people who just wanted to go to the movies and
- 15:23see a science fiction adventure and didn't give a shit about.
- 15:25Any of this. They had a TV show, lots of
- 15:27stuff to try and close off a story that.
- 15:30Yeah, but also not overload. Overload don't give a shit
- 15:34because they didn't watch the TV show, they just want to watch a
- 15:36movie. Yeah, and going out and seeing a
- 15:37movie and that's it. Yeah, so I can understand.
- 15:40That my God. Christina Hendricks was hot in
- 15:43it, though, and. 55 yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm not going to argue
- 15:50with that. So yes, it's maybe.
- 15:56Happening. Oh, interesting to see if
- 15:59Christina Hendricks comes back in it.
- 16:02That would be interesting, yeah, because.
- 16:05Her character was sort of like a reoccurring actually right
- 16:08there, not not. I'm going to Did you look at
- 16:11this? This is, I thought this was very
- 16:12interesting three years ago on Reddit, there's a there's a
- 16:17Reddit subreddit called Leaks and Rumours where people, I
- 16:20guess, post stuff from studios that hasn't been announced or
- 16:23released yet. And three years ago, somebody
- 16:27posted unannounced Shadow Machine production.
- 16:30Shadow Machine is the animation studio that's lined up to do
- 16:34this Firefly series. Three years ago somebody posted
- 16:38these, I guess I don't know, they're concept arts or, or like
- 16:41animation stills or whatever that, you know, I think it's
- 16:43concept art, yeah. And it's Firefly.
- 16:46It is the Firefly animated series.
- 16:48Three years ago. A little scary that three years
- 16:53ago they've been trying to get this.
- 16:56They've been working. On this running.
- 16:57Yes. I know.
- 16:58And they still don't have anyone going.
- 17:02Yeah, they're going to pay for this.
- 17:03Yeah. Slightly concerning, the reason
- 17:05I segued specifically is if you look at the second page of art,
- 17:09there is on the top right a red headed lady.
- 17:16So I don't know if that's her or somebody else, but there is a
- 17:20red headed lady. Maybe that's her.
- 17:24And it wouldn't make sense for her to come back because I think
- 17:26she was leaning up to be that sort of recurring.
- 17:31Yeah. Oh yeah.
- 17:32Incurring characters like she is definitely.
- 17:34I would say so. Yeah.
- 17:41I, I, I mean, I'm excited about it, but so the reason for all
- 17:46the hype, yeah. And I know that the hype, you're
- 17:49not the only person who was annoyed that it wasn't literally
- 17:52a live action Firefly continuation.
- 17:55But and, and I was like, oh man, they're going to piss so many
- 17:59people off doing this. Why are they doing this?
- 18:00Well, OK, now I we know why they're doing it because they
- 18:04need people to get excited about it.
- 18:08So the studio will go, Oh, there is an audience because if they
- 18:11just kind of fart it out and don't hype it up, maybe it'll
- 18:15never happen. And So what they said was this,
- 18:18a lot of people are going to do rewatches now.
- 18:20This is what people have been saying on Reddit.
- 18:21If you're going to rewatch Firefly you might have Blu rays
- 18:25and stuff, which yeah that's the best way to watch it.
- 18:28But fucking don't do that mate. Watch it on Hulu because then
- 18:32they can see that people are watching it.
- 18:34Watching it, Yep, you see, I'm now actually a little bit more
- 18:37scared that it's not going to be made honestly.
- 18:40Oh. Me too.
- 18:42It very well may not be made. Yep.
- 18:45This was a stunt. Like, let's be honest and and I
- 18:49completely understand why they did it, but this was a stunt.
- 18:52Worked well. Yes, yes, it had the effect they
- 18:56they wanted to show. People would watch this
- 19:00basically because I assume the sentiment was that people would
- 19:06not. Yeah.
- 19:08They were concerned from the studios.
- 19:09Pissed off with you, and I'm going to be even more pissed off
- 19:12if this doesn't happen now. Yeah.
- 19:16Which is a chance that it won't. Yeah, yeah.
- 19:19Because I mean, they might be able to do it if they've got all
- 19:22the permission and stuff, if they can get enough money
- 19:23together, maybe they could do it on YouTube or something.
- 19:25But that's just that's but. And that wouldn't be nothing,
- 19:28but that's not but. You know, even that there's,
- 19:31there's money, it's the you still got a lot of money behind
- 19:34it to for it to. Be to pay the studio and the
- 19:36animators and stuff like that. Like, even if the actors did it
- 19:39for free, someone's going to animate it, yeah?
- 19:40And the actors be honest, they're not going to do an
- 19:43entire season voice acting for free.
- 19:45I. Wouldn't have thought so.
- 19:46They're all very successful now. Yes, so I'm.
- 19:51Except Adam Baldwin. I don't know what Adam Baldwin's
- 19:53up to. They did drag him out.
- 19:55In fact, that's probably the most controversial part about
- 19:59it. They said just Sweden's not
- 20:00going to be in it. But they have got Adam Baldwin.
- 20:03You know, I mean, he didn't I. Still think that he's.
- 20:06Assault anybody, But he has been controversial.
- 20:08He's been controversial, but I also think he's been a bit quiet
- 20:11lately. Yeah.
- 20:12Oh yeah. Like for quite a few.
- 20:14Years. I don't even know what he's been
- 20:16doing since I saw him in Chuck. That show Chuck, which was I
- 20:21like, right? I didn't mind Chuck.
- 20:23No, I didn't mind Chuck and Zach.
- 20:25Levi's also same thing. He's come out as very right wing
- 20:29and Yep, been a little bit of. A but I also think.
- 20:35Not a good sell for for. Serious that both of those
- 20:40people could be brought back to the middle.
- 20:44Maybe I mean. Middle ground.
- 20:46I mean, Baldwin went pretty hard.
- 20:49He did, but I think he has come back a little bit.
- 20:53Oh, OK, He's been, he was in SWOT, that TV show SWOT, and
- 20:57he's been doing some show called 911 Lone Star.
- 21:01OK. Which is look how with Gina
- 21:06Torres well. She's working together still.
- 21:12Yeah, OK, interesting. So he was on that show with Rob
- 21:15Lowe. Gina Torres is on the poster, so
- 21:18she must be a main character, all right?
- 21:20And he's been in that. So he's been doing stuff.
- 21:22Just stuff that I watch. Anyway, yeah, I don't really
- 21:26watch a lot of like cop TV shows there.
- 21:30No, I don't watch a lot of TV shows in general unless someone
- 21:32specifically tells me I should or I get interested for some
- 21:35reason. But I know people, like people
- 21:39who listen to this show. You know who you are have said I
- 21:43don't know about it if Adam Baldwin was involved, which is
- 21:45fair enough. He went pretty hard.
- 21:47He did, being a Dick head. But I also think he rolled it
- 21:51back, which is something to also consider.
- 21:54That's fair. Yeah.
- 21:55Yeah. Did he roll it back?
- 21:58Do we know that? Well, I haven't heard of anyone
- 22:00complaining about him recently. Well, that that just means he
- 22:03stopped talking. It doesn't mean he rolled it
- 22:04back necessarily. I'm just not doubting you, but
- 22:07doubting you a little bit. He was in Half life too.
- 22:11And Halo ODST, Halo 3. See, you like him.
- 22:19You love Adam Baldwin. Scram.
- 22:21Do. As his little Twitter catch
- 22:24phrase scram when when lefties came at him he would say look.
- 22:30I've always been a fan of like people may go off the rails a
- 22:35little bit, but what we think he's off the rails.
- 22:38Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He thinks he was arguing with a
- 22:40bunch of people who are all going off the rails.
- 22:42That's what he thinks I'm assuming.
- 22:44But there's also you have if they start to not do that, you
- 22:49have to let them back, otherwise pushing people away.
- 22:53I agree, but that's that's not how it works.
- 22:56Broadly speaking, people tend to write people off pretty quick.
- 23:00On the Internet, I do agree for that.
- 23:02If somebody gets convinced, you should, you know, say OK, good
- 23:09and like welcome them back. Yes.
- 23:13Yes, because that's people getting, we don't have to get
- 23:17too much into this, but I think yes, a lot of the people getting
- 23:19radicalised is because they do get so pushed so far away that
- 23:24they they're lost almost. Even sometimes people want to
- 23:27have an honest conversation, but even starting that conversation
- 23:30is, Oh no, you're against us. Yeah, yeah, there's we don't
- 23:36have to go specifics, but there are topics that I've seen where
- 23:39it's it's almost like it's off limits.
- 23:42Yes. But I feel like clearly that's
- 23:45not working because we have all these fucking idiots out there
- 23:48who go really hard on them in the other direction.
- 23:51And they use the fact that like they won't let you talk about
- 23:54this as a kind of. Let's go to something else,
- 23:57let's go to something else. Let me go back.
- 23:59And I need to apologise yet again about how wrong I was
- 24:04about June. Oh.
- 24:07Yeah. I thought, wait.
- 24:11Have you finally watched it? I still haven't watched it, but
- 24:15they are making the third movie and I'm sort of I was, they were
- 24:19going to make the first one. It was going to flop.
- 24:22No one was going to see it. They will make.
- 24:24It was fucking excellent. And here we are now, and the
- 24:30June 3 trailer and posters are out.
- 24:34It's it's. I was so wrong.
- 24:37Do you know So I know you haven't read the books.
- 24:41No, because all I know is he sits in the room.
- 24:46Yep, that happens at one point. Yep, June Messiah, the third
- 24:54book. Is sorry the second book.
- 24:56Jesus, they're confusing me now. Second book is was controversial
- 25:01when it came out. Yeah.
- 25:02Yeah, because Dune happened and everyone loved Dune.
- 25:06And then Frank Herbert, who wrote it, said, no, no, you got
- 25:12it wrong. He's not the Messiah.
- 25:14He's a very naughty boy. No, he's he's not the Messiah.
- 25:17The whole point is that they took advantage of, of people and
- 25:23set up this thing. And yeah, yeah, it's not, he's
- 25:25not polar trade. Is, is not supposed to be like a
- 25:28white saviour kind of Messiah person.
- 25:31And he's saying you, you, you got it wrong.
- 25:34That's not the message I was trying to send.
- 25:36And so he was annoyed. And so the second book do
- 25:40Messiah is very different and it's set like 1520 years later.
- 25:45And it was supposed to just show how it all went to shit kind of
- 25:48thing. And people didn't like it
- 25:50because they were like, oh, I thought he was going to be like,
- 25:53you know, leading them to victory.
- 25:55And then he's like, that wasn't the fucking point.
- 25:57You missed the point of what I was telling you.
- 26:01So I was interested to see what this film will be because it's
- 26:07they, he's basically taken Dune and Dune Messiah and kind of he
- 26:11already smushed them together a little bit because it was stuff
- 26:14in Dune Part 2 that would have been a Messiah and they jiggled
- 26:18them around. Doesn't someone turn into a
- 26:20worm? We're.
- 26:21Not going to get to see that. That's later.
- 26:24Yes, yes. And we're getting closer to
- 26:27there maybe being a movie where that happens, but it's not this
- 26:30movie. It's not this movie, OK?
- 26:32But I'm this looks. Like it looks great and it looks
- 26:35like a bigger action kind of movie.
- 26:40Like it's got a lot from what they've said and from the
- 26:42trailer it looks like it's got a lot of action stuff in it, which
- 26:44is interesting because it's been a little bit since I read the
- 26:47book. But my memory of the book is
- 26:48that it doesn't have a lot of that.
- 26:51It's more. I get not political.
- 26:57But like it's just not a big action movie, action book kind
- 27:01of thing. So I'm just interested to see
- 27:02where they're going with it. And and they're saying the
- 27:05conclusion to the Dune trilogy, which is interesting because
- 27:08it's not a trilogy it. They're making it a trilogy.
- 27:12Everything. I guess they're going to wrap
- 27:13this up because. The book also.
- 27:16Doesn't wrap everything up. It like introduces some more
- 27:21things and then there's more books after that, and my memory
- 27:24of it is that it does not wrap things up.
- 27:26Particularly, this is. This is pretty much him saying
- 27:29like, I'm done after this 10. He's already said that.
- 27:32Yeah, he's out. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 27:34I mean, fair enough. If this one is successful, as it
- 27:39probably will be, he definitely should stop because there will
- 27:42come a point where one of them will be shit.
- 27:44Like it just always happens and. He's probably smart to go.
- 27:49Look, I'm out of this one, but yeah.
- 27:53Someone else might take. Over the studio?
- 27:56Well, they're not saying. That.
- 27:57But yes, you're right. Yeah.
- 28:00Studio is like the money. They're not going to adapt.
- 28:04God Emperor of Dune where? Where someone?
- 28:09Yeah, they've got. A They've got one book, I think.
- 28:12In between children of. Dune, but they're not going to a
- 28:17lot of books. About 1.
- 28:18Room, Yeah. Yeah, just recognizing.
- 28:24Footsteps. Yep.
- 28:26That's what they're all about. They've made a trilogy of movies
- 28:29about someone walking into a room.
- 28:31Yep. And and they made a.
- 28:33Video game about it which? I'm still playing and loving
- 28:37gets in. Trouble for having.
- 28:38Their back to the door. Yep.
- 28:41Flew my own nathupta down. To the shell.
- 28:44This is the radioactive part of the map.
- 28:46Got myself a radiation suit. I found a little spot that's not
- 28:49not too bad, not too radiated, but a little bass down there,
- 28:52but a little bass down there. So you got a little.
- 28:53Bit of go to, you can store some resources down there, yeah.
- 28:56Fly it back in back to my main base of my ornithopter.
- 28:59I want to play it. Fucking great.
- 29:03It's really. Good.
- 29:05I've just it's coming. To console soon.
- 29:06That's all I'm going with. It's coming.
- 29:08I've been playing it with this. Too in preparation.
- 29:10Not in preparation, but just because I, I work all day on my
- 29:14computer and then and then I stop and then I play that and
- 29:16I'm like, I'm gonna get RSI. So yeah, I need to move away.
- 29:20From a keyboard and yeah, so in. Particular two different yeah,
- 29:24whenever I'm driving a vehicle of any kind in that game now I
- 29:28switch to the controller when I'm building Sometimes I still
- 29:30use a keyboard and a mouse. I can see why building.
- 29:32Would be a bit easier with a mouse, yeah.
- 29:35Yeah, and the combat is easier for me currently because I've
- 29:40got muscle memory because I've been playing with the keyboard
- 29:43mouse, so I can switch like switch weapons with the number
- 29:47keys and stuff. Like I know like my drill shot
- 29:50is number 1. My my assault rifle is number 2.
- 29:54Whereas on the controller I have to hold Y wait for a little bit
- 29:58the wheel pops up. And it's just like.
- 30:01Yeah. Whereas with the buttons I can
- 30:05just. Instantly switch to the drill
- 30:06shot, which is. If you've played with games,
- 30:09you'll know why that's. Required.
- 30:10Sometimes and I'll play with you.
- 30:13I'll build my little shitty base next to yours.
- 30:16Bring down the price market in your neighborhood.
- 30:19There's no room mate. My server got crowded because I
- 30:22picked I, because I, I picked the server a Ruckus because I
- 30:26was like, well, that one's going to be.
- 30:28That one's not going to go away. So I picked that one.
- 30:32And then I picked, I forget which siege I picked.
- 30:35There's like when you join a server, you also join like a,
- 30:38it's a like a siege, like a. You don't know what that is, but
- 30:41it's like a freeman base from a community.
- 30:44And it's not like I'm gonna need a.
- 30:46Lot of room. Let's be honest.
- 30:48No, in fact, you could. I've got room for you in my
- 30:51base. My base is fucking enormous at
- 30:53this point. Yeah, I don't need.
- 30:56A big base. I just need to tutorial little
- 30:59box and I'm done. I was.
- 31:02Working on my base a little bit last night and I have like a
- 31:05whole wing of it that is just empty so you you can just live
- 31:09there if you want to Thank you and I'll just.
- 31:12Go and mind shit great. Works.
- 31:15Yeah, you can use the buggy. I'll give you a buggy to use.
- 31:19They're going to be your. Ornithopter you can't mine.
- 31:22Directly from an ornithopter, the buggy has a laser in it a
- 31:25mining. Laser in it.
- 31:26I mean you can. Borrow an ornithopter, Yeah, but
- 31:28just what happens to blows? Up So The funny thing.
- 31:32About this game is sorry to talk about this game again listeners
- 31:34isn't too bad. There is no like vehicle damage
- 31:42from crashing or anything. So and I think I assume it's
- 31:48because I actually don't know why technically you get vehicle
- 31:54damage, wear and tear as you drive them about And then if
- 31:57people are shooting at you, you'll take vehicle damage.
- 32:01But you can literally so my, my base is up on top of a Cliff.
- 32:05Yes. And I've you, you come up this
- 32:09hill and and then you're in my kind of driveway and the garage
- 32:12is over here. That's where all the vehicles
- 32:14get parked And then I have a big balcony out of the Cliff and
- 32:17there's a gap that I left because you can get in the
- 32:20buggy. Alright, so up top on the Cliff
- 32:23where I am is where the aluminium and basalt are and you
- 32:26mine those and some copper and some other stuff.
- 32:29But if you need iron or some other stuff that's down on the
- 32:33sand down below, on some of the outcroppings down there, So what
- 32:37you can do because there's no vehicle damage from crashing or
- 32:40whatever, just get in the butt, drive off and you just drive off
- 32:43my balcony and then. You fall for like.
- 32:47Oh, hi, yes you can. Wow, where did she come?
- 32:51From she came from bed hi. Oh, love you.
- 32:58I did not see her. Walking, walking in the door.
- 33:02I love you. Bye bye.
- 33:06Now she's snuck in. She's been very good.
- 33:09Oh, what's up? Oh, thanks honey, thank you, My
- 33:16hat says multiple nerdgasm. She does not know what.
- 33:24That is, yes. You just drive the buggy off the
- 33:29balcony, Yeah. And then away you go, do your
- 33:32stuff. Yeah, but then you've got to.
- 33:33Drive back up, but that's drive back up.
- 33:35That's the. Long part, but I picked.
- 33:37Up. I picked a spot where it's not
- 33:39too big of a deal, OK. Yeah.
- 33:42Well, I can do that. Yep, then I was.
- 33:44Going to mine. Stuff, drop it off, go mum some
- 33:47more, Great, I enjoy. That it's.
- 33:50Very relaxing I find. No it is.
- 33:52I did a. So before bed I didn't have a
- 33:54huge amount of time. So Jenna's away, she's in
- 33:57Romania, as you do and. Lucky her.
- 34:01She went to Romania with her sister and so it's just me and
- 34:05the kiddo at the moment and we watched Sonic 3 last night talk
- 34:09about, oh, how is that It's. Fucking awesome.
- 34:12I do because what? Sonic 2 introduced Knuckles and
- 34:16Tails and. Sonic and Tails.
- 34:18And Sonic Three I think introduces Shadow, yes, played
- 34:21by Keanu. Reeves.
- 34:25It's really good first one. And I really.
- 34:27Enjoyed it. I need to see the next two.
- 34:29Oh yeah, no, look the. 1st 1 was great.
- 34:31The second one I I would, I would should rewatch it.
- 34:34I the second one was not I didn't like as much.
- 34:36The third one last night, I really enjoyed it.
- 34:38I mean, it's ridiculous, but like in a good way, like it just
- 34:42it's ridiculous. No, I really liked it and it's
- 34:48yeah, she loved it too. Jim Carrey's very funny.
- 34:53What can I say? Hey, it's got Kristen Ritten
- 34:55now. Kristen Ritter in it.
- 34:56You like her, I assume. Kristen Ritter, you don't.
- 34:59Know who that is, people. Like her, I just assumed you
- 35:01would. She's Jessica Jones in Jessica
- 35:07Jones. Oh yo.
- 35:10Yes, yeah. You know her vice visually?
- 35:15Yeah, she's. In it.
- 35:17I think I. Think I know who I'm talking
- 35:18about? Let me just double check.
- 35:19Jessica Jones, Robotnik's assistant, is.
- 35:22In it a lot. He's very they're really.
- 35:24Oh, no, I, I do, yes. I do.
- 35:25I do quite like her, yes. OK.
- 35:30She was in. The bitch from Don't Trust the
- 35:33bitch from the James Vanderbeek from Yeah, Vanderbeek.
- 35:38I. Think she's very funny?
- 35:39I haven't seen her anything serious, but I think she's very
- 35:42funny. Well, this is not serious, so.
- 35:44So this will work. It's a fucking movie about a
- 35:46hedgehog. From space, so I'm happy.
- 35:50So happy that they changed the way that Sonic looked from that.
- 35:54Initial. Hideous.
- 35:56Thing. That whatever that was, I mean,
- 36:00it might have worked out, but. I don't think it would have I.
- 36:02Don't think we would have had the third movie if they hadn't
- 36:05kept it as that original, yeah. Maybe not.
- 36:10Maybe not, but Jim Carrey's really funny in it and Keanu
- 36:13Reeves is great. It's just Keanu Reeves.
- 36:15It's like there's some Keanu Reeves jokes in it.
- 36:22Like if you know, you know, kind of thing.
- 36:24Like he'll shadow does a thing and you go, oh, that's John Wick
- 36:26and it all, all that's neo or whatever kind of thing.
- 36:29Like it's yeah, it's good. It's very funny.
- 36:32And yeah, I liked it and I was looking.
- 36:36I gotta say I was impressed by the visual effects because.
- 36:42The little cartoon characters. In the world, right?
- 36:46Like even if the first like Sonic's looks ridiculous, yes,
- 36:49but like you get used to it. Yeah, and in this one in
- 36:53particular, I was just like fucking great visual effects.
- 36:56Like it just looks it looks great.
- 36:59Put the actual timing. As opposed to some other movies
- 37:01that are just starting the phone?
- 37:03Yeah, yeah, there's some stuff in.
- 37:04This, that's just like, man, that's a great visual.
- 37:06Like, like it just. Yeah, it's good.
- 37:09Yeah. Excellent.
- 37:10No, I should get around to watching the two because yeah,
- 37:13the first one was great and I wasn't expecting that from A
- 37:17Yeah, 2's good, I remember. I just, it does.
- 37:21I didn't feel like this about like the the the third one I
- 37:24watched last night and I was just like, that was really good.
- 37:27Yeah, the the second one I was like, yeah, that's fine.
- 37:29I think, yeah. Wonder if we're going to get
- 37:33more? Yes, Sonic 4 comes out.
- 37:35Next year. Oh, there we.
- 37:37Go then that was actually lira the teaser trailer.
- 37:40Because she had some questions about certain things.
- 37:44And I said, oh, I think you'll find you don't have to worry
- 37:47about that. And I showed her the teaser
- 37:48trailer and she was like, oh, I won't spoil anything, but yeah,
- 37:52there's yeah. I will go and see at the.
- 37:56Movies, because I'm going to the movies a lot more often.
- 37:58I'm going to go to the movies on Monday.
- 38:01What do you see on Monday? Ready or not, here I.
- 38:04Come, oh. That's the second one of that.
- 38:07Series, right? Yes.
- 38:08Starring Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
- 38:10Exactly. Sarah Michelle Gellar's In It.
- 38:13And whose daughter is she? The.
- 38:14First one? I haven't seen the first one.
- 38:15She was seen the first one, no? OK, I forget.
- 38:17Whose daughter? Is a star.
- 38:20She's Australian Margot Robbie. Stop, Margot.
- 38:24Robbie not possible. Not possible.
- 38:25She's too. She's too old.
- 38:28Is it? I didn't know she was
- 38:29Australian. She looks like Margot Robbie.
- 38:31That's why I said that. And they've been photographed
- 38:34together. Really not.
- 38:37Samara weaving. Oh.
- 38:42I know that name. Yes.
- 38:44And who was her father, Ready or Not 2000?
- 38:5119. Mother.
- 38:55Sara weaving it's. Trivia.
- 38:58We've got some trigger weaving. Oh fuck, of course yes.
- 39:05OK. From the name.
- 39:07I'm saying that. I actually did not know that.
- 39:09So she's Hugo Weaving's daughter.
- 39:11Yes. All right.
- 39:14And I think she's great in what she.
- 39:15Does. From what I've seen her in.
- 39:19Which I mean, he's, he's great. So yeah.
- 39:23There you go, she was in 200% wolf.
- 39:28Never heard of that. That is.
- 39:30Me neither. Oh, it's an.
- 39:31Animated movie that looks interesting.
- 39:35My daughter would probably. Enjoy that, it's got Jennifer
- 39:39Saunders in it anyway. Whatever, I'm kidding.
- 39:41But yeah, no, basically IMDb rabbit.
- 39:43Hole the. First, the first.
- 39:45Really, you know, is she's about to spoil her.
- 39:47She's about to marry into a family and then play a game as a
- 39:51sort of introduction to the thing.
- 39:55And it can be like a very simple game, or it's a hide and seek
- 39:58game where everyone tries to hunt her and kill her, right?
- 40:03And evidently. The sequel is, well, because she
- 40:07stayed alive, she now has to be haunted by the rest of the
- 40:11cousins and stuff or something. OK.
- 40:15All right. And then?
- 40:16She inherits everything OK I'm guessing.
- 40:20I guess maybe I should watch the 1st.
- 40:21Was it good? The first one I could.
- 40:23I enjoyed it, yeah. All right, I'll watch it.
- 40:25Yeah. Maybe, maybe, maybe I'll get
- 40:26around to it, but I'll watch the Snookel on Monday.
- 40:30Because I'm cheap and it's only 10 bucks.
- 40:33There's a movie coming out that I'm.
- 40:34Interested in, I didn't know this was happening, but I've
- 40:36seen the trailer. They now they released the
- 40:38trailer the other day and I was like, oh, I didn't know they
- 40:40were doing that. It's Jack Ryan.
- 40:43I enjoyed that series on Prime. I think it was on Prime with
- 40:48John Krasinski as Jack Ryan. And then I watched all of it and
- 40:53it ended and I was like, oh, could have been more.
- 40:56Of that they kind of set. Up some stuff.
- 40:58Well, now we get it. They're doing it, and they're
- 41:01doing. It as a movie?
- 41:02Yeah. Jack Ryan.
- 41:04Ghost War. So that comes out on May 20th.
- 41:07Oh, quite soon. Yeah.
- 41:10Yeah, I I guess, I don't know, maybe this was known that this
- 41:12was happening. I didn't know, No.
- 41:15I mean, they they don't. Often call me up just to tell me
- 41:18they're making them, but no, they should I.
- 41:20Was not aware. They should be calling us.
- 41:25Yeah. I'll watch it.
- 41:28And you get. To tidy up the end, because I'm
- 41:30guessing this is the end of it all.
- 41:32Must be. It's got to be, yeah.
- 41:33Yeah, yeah, this is 1 I watch on my own.
- 41:35Jenna will not give a shit about this.
- 41:38This is. This is the type of.
- 41:39Thing that I wish a lot of movies, TV shows had sort of
- 41:43built into their contract. Like we can make stuff, but if
- 41:46you end up early, we're allowed to go make a movie, right?
- 41:49To tie up the loose ends. Yeah, I think that.
- 41:53Would be good for some. TV shows that just don't get
- 41:55renewed. I think that's probably too big
- 41:59a financial commitment for a studio, though.
- 42:01They like, you've never cancelled you.
- 42:03We're cancelling you. Yeah, but I just.
- 42:06If you're smart, get that building to your contract.
- 42:08If you cancel us, we can make a movie to tie things up.
- 42:11Give it a go. See if they'll do it.
- 42:14Yeah, the Academy Awards happened.
- 42:19Oh, they did. God, yeah, I that is how much I
- 42:22attention I paid to them that I didn't even know they happened.
- 42:26Yeah. Now I knew they were happening.
- 42:29I didn't watch them or anything. I kind of just was like, Oh
- 42:32yeah, what happened? So I mean, we can just quickly
- 42:34quick run through if it's interesting, Best picture 1
- 42:39battle after another, which I actually do really want to
- 42:42watch. That's the what's his name
- 42:45Leonardo DiCaprio movie by so always.
- 42:49Fox or Bear? The Revenant.
- 42:53I don't think he fucks them there.
- 42:55One battle after another. Who directed this?
- 42:57This is Paul Thomas Anderson. I knew him or all of the
- 43:01nominees. I've seen one of them and I
- 43:03think that should have won and that was F1.
- 43:05Do you? Think F1 should have won?
- 43:08Best Picture? Yep, because the only movie.
- 43:10You've seen out of all of them, and I know that the award, these
- 43:13awards are not for me. I was rooting.
- 43:15For Sinners, because Sinners is fucking excellent and you gotta
- 43:20watch Sinners. F1 was a great movie.
- 43:23F1 was fine. What are you trying?
- 43:27Best picture? Come on, Best Picture.
- 43:30It was good. It was like a.
- 43:32Throwback actiony movie. I want best.
- 43:36Picture I'm looking forward to see.
- 43:38I'm looking forward to the sequel.
- 43:40Look just for next time. I just there was no way that was
- 43:44going to win. Let's just so use the temp for
- 43:46those expectations next time. I honestly I'm surprised it's on
- 43:50this list. I can only go off.
- 43:51What I've seen, that was it. That's the one you've seen.
- 43:55You haven't. Watched Frankenstein.
- 43:57Frankenstein was too long. Yep, as soon as is.
- 44:02Excellent. And I thought it was gonna.
- 44:04I was hoping it was gonna win. It did not win, but it won some
- 44:08stuff. Michael B Jordan won Best Actor
- 44:11for Sinners. Which?
- 44:13Yeah, he was fucking great. He was two people in it and you
- 44:17know, there's not easy to do although.
- 44:22Slight spoilers. Jim Carrey was two people in
- 44:25Sonic Three. He didn't win an Academy Award,
- 44:28So how's that feel? That was never going to be.
- 44:31Nominated. F1.
- 44:37I like the F1 movie. Let's be clear.
- 44:40Best director Paul Thomas Anderson won battle after
- 44:43another, you know, fair enough. It won Best Picture and Best
- 44:46Director. Best.
- 44:49Actress Jessie Buckley for Hamnet.
- 44:53I don't know who she is and I. Don't haven't seen that.
- 44:56Movie. And I've just googled and I'm
- 44:58not familiar with her, but you know, no reason no doesn't.
- 45:01Mean she can't win. Clearly, just because I don't
- 45:04know who she is. Best supporting actress Amy
- 45:06Madigan for weapons. I need to see that.
- 45:10Weapons is very good. That's good.
- 45:14Yeah, she was good in that best supporting actor Sean Penn 1
- 45:17battle after another best animated feature K pop Demon
- 45:21hunters Makes sense. There was a little controversy
- 45:26about that. Oh, really only OK.
- 45:29So they K Pop Demon Hunters won best animated picture.
- 45:33They got up to do the speeches and I think one of the one of
- 45:36the the ladies who the singing ladies from it just talked and
- 45:40then they tried, they went to switch over to somebody.
- 45:43It's one of the crew, I don't know, the director or an
- 45:45executive producer somebody. Anyway, they cut them off in the
- 45:49middle of the speech. Right.
- 45:51And songwriters of Gold, the songwriters of Golden, we're
- 45:57accepting their oh, it's not even that one.
- 45:59OK, sorry, I've gotten this mixed up.
- 46:01Best Song, right? It was when Best Song won Golden
- 46:07from K Pop Team Hunters won Best Song.
- 46:09They got to accept the award for that.
- 46:11And they cut off while the songwriter was about to say
- 46:14something and people were like, you, What are you cutting them
- 46:17off for? Except they always do that
- 46:22because there's you've got it in a lot of time.
- 46:25And so the Disney exec, OK, what's his name, came out and
- 46:29said like, yeah, it's unfortunate.
- 46:31But like they get told beforehand, you've got this huge
- 46:35time and we've got a show to get through.
- 46:38So we can't just let people go up there and talk and it
- 46:41normally goes over. Every single time, because they
- 46:44got to play the music and they give you, they give you a
- 46:46warning, I think like, yeah, this is what they said.
- 46:50This is Walt. Disney Television's Rob Mills.
- 46:54One thing, as we postmortem for next year, will be to look at
- 46:56how we're handling speeches. You win the Oscar, you go on
- 46:59stage. It could be one person, it could
- 47:01be 5 or 6 people. Immediately you'll see the
- 47:04allotted time you have. Yeah.
- 47:07And So what he's saying is they had a whole bunch of people up
- 47:10there and they all wanted to talk.
- 47:12You don't all get. You don't have.
- 47:14Time for that like. Yeah, it's and it's unfortunate
- 47:16that it was like, I think, I think because they're Korean, I
- 47:22think it got taken in a weird way like, but I just don't think
- 47:27that's got anything to do. I don't think it's got anything.
- 47:30No, they they play. People off all the time for not
- 47:33like, let's wrap this up. It's a whole thing, yeah, so.
- 47:38I don't know, it's just it's a little weird.
- 47:41Oh, so OK, when they weren't, I'm not I wasn't wrong when they
- 47:45won best animated feature, they also got cut off.
- 47:48Oh so. They're saying like, you've cut
- 47:50us off twice. What's going on?
- 47:52Yeah. And they're.
- 47:54Saying shut up, you've got a lot.
- 47:55Of people up. There and you don't have.
- 47:57We didn't allocate time for you all to come up and say something
- 48:00like you get a certain amount of time and then you got to get off
- 48:03the stage so we can keep going because it's a show we're doing,
- 48:05so they're going to make it a bit clearer.
- 48:06By having like a countdown in front of them and I think though
- 48:10which? Makes sense?
- 48:11Online people were like. Oh, they're being racist?
- 48:14I don't think so, I think. But of course.
- 48:20K Pop David Hunt says We're going to win because it's
- 48:23fucking great. What else were they?
- 48:25Up against let's. Have a look.
- 48:30I've closed that tab now. Because I got bored.
- 48:32I got bored of talking about it. Zootopia 2 is apparently very
- 48:34good. Best score was Sinners.
- 48:39Ludwig Garinson went for that. Makes sense.
- 48:42Good school, fucking great soundtrack.
- 48:43Oh, you're going to. You're going to love.
- 48:44The music in Project Hail Mary, by the way, I forgot to tell
- 48:47you. I know who did that and I can't.
- 48:51Remember, I think. You're going to enjoy it.
- 48:55Who did project? Hail Mary.
- 48:56I know the answer to that already.
- 49:02Project Hail Mary. It was just something I noticed.
- 49:05During the movie, I went, yeah, I was gonna like this.
- 49:08Oh, the soundtrack's. Out there you go.
- 49:11Oh. Daniel Pemberton.
- 49:12Right. Yep.
- 49:13Yeah, he did Into the Spider verse and stuff.
- 49:16He's very good. Yeah, I actually, actually
- 49:18listening and I went. No, I think Matt's gonna enjoy
- 49:20the soundtrack to this best animated film.
- 49:23Where is it animated? Best animated.
- 49:28Feature cable view How does? Arco never seen it.
- 49:30Elio never heard of it. Little Amelie or character of
- 49:33Rain, never heard of it. Zootopia 2 So OK, I'll call you.
- 49:37Bullshit on something I just saw go on best visual effects avatar
- 49:42fire and ash. You saw that phone?
- 49:46That in what? Was it?
- 49:47That was probably one of the worst of all the avatars.
- 49:52That's some of the worst visual effects of all those movies.
- 49:57Yeah, Avatar. Phone Ash F1 Jurassic World
- 50:03Rebirth The Lost Bus. I don't know that it's in
- 50:05Sinners. It's interesting.
- 50:06Sinners. I don't quote.
- 50:10I don't know. I don't think they're they're.
- 50:13There, it doesn't seem like a category for them.
- 50:17It's weird, right? Visual.
- 50:18Effects are so interesting to think about now because you're
- 50:22not supposed to notice them. So I'm looking at these and I'm
- 50:26going, I have a tough fire and ash.
- 50:28Obviously that's got a little visual effects because it's
- 50:30literally digital people. F1 I was like, like, what were
- 50:34the visual effects in F1? I don't even know.
- 50:36But then that doesn't mean they're not there and that
- 50:38doesn't mean they weren't very good.
- 50:39Because the fact that I don't even know what was visual
- 50:41effects is good, right? Jurassic World Rebirth,
- 50:46Obviously there's dinosaurs. There could have been aliens.
- 50:50With the original script as I keep saying glust.
- 50:54Bust then orders and sinners sinners had Does visual effects
- 50:58mean digital or does visual effects mean just like makeup
- 51:03effects and stuff too? Because my sense is that it had
- 51:07a lot of and. Stuff.
- 51:10So makeup's got their own thing, yeah.
- 51:12I'd get again, sinners. I don't know what the visual
- 51:13effects were in that oh wait, Michael B Jordan was 2 fucking
- 51:18people and it was seamless. So I I feel like they did have
- 51:24very good visual effects that probably should have won.
- 51:26Over Avatar, which was just. The same thing over.
- 51:33Because I'm just realising. Yes, there's literally scenes
- 51:35where Michael B Jordan is talking to himself and handing
- 51:38himself things back and forth and it's like it.
- 51:42And that's hard to. Do really impressive at. 1st and
- 51:45then you forget that that's not two people.
- 51:47That's how good it is. Because normally.
- 51:50When you see that their their eye line is off, like there's
- 51:52something that's always slightly off with that, the more I think.
- 51:56About it, the more I'm like, I didn't see Avatar, but I do
- 52:01think the Sinners is very impressive now that I think
- 52:03about it, because it's not noticeable.
- 52:05Yeah. But then when?
- 52:07Now that I'm thinking about it, yeah, they had to shoot
- 52:09everything twice. That's what you want for.
- 52:12Me is you want it to be unnoticeable and that's what you
- 52:15want. Best sound F1.
- 52:19Yes, I did see that. Yeah, yeah.
- 52:21I mean, I, I heard that. I heard that movie when I
- 52:23watched it. Zoom Best sound.
- 52:30Sinners don't know what about life?
- 52:32You know, I didn't see Frankenstein, man.
- 52:34Frankenstein. I haven't seen it.
- 52:37I wanted to like that. Well, you'd like it.
- 52:38It's. Got me a goth in it.
- 52:40You'd love that. Oh Shyla buff's.
- 52:45Oh yes, we need to talk about him.
- 52:47Again. Yeah, I forgot to put that in.
- 52:50He's on the loose. Yeah, he's.
- 52:53Really lost people in a fucking hotel.
- 52:54In his underwear or something anyway.
- 52:58Yeah, Anyway, so that's it kind of me.
- 52:59What's happened? That's some of it.
- 53:02And again, it's just lots. Of movies that I have no
- 53:05interest in. Some that I do.
- 53:10There's a couple. That I knew some of them this
- 53:13time. That's that's very rare.
- 53:16That's a good point actually. There's some years where I'm
- 53:18like, I don't know, I haven't seen any of these movies because
- 53:21the thing. About like the Oscars, They're
- 53:23not for us. They're not.
- 53:25I really go and. See Movies.
- 53:27Because young people are like. What even is this?
- 53:30Who cares about this? But like, yeah, this is about
- 53:33yeah being. Recognized by your peers and
- 53:36stuff. That's what it's about, yeah.
- 53:38It's like a. It's like.
- 53:39A industry event? Yes.
- 53:41Like, yeah, that just happens because it's full of
- 53:44celebrities. Yes.
- 53:46Oh, Speaking of celebrities, I I found this.
- 53:48I didn't. I know this is old now because
- 53:51James Van der Beek was on it and he was looking healthy.
- 53:55Have you seen Under a Rock with Tig Notaro?
- 53:59No do. You know Tig Notaro.
- 54:01I know Tig, she's great. Yeah, so she has.
- 54:04It's only two seasons of it. It's very, and they're not long.
- 54:06She had a little talk show on YouTube where she doesn't watch
- 54:11anything. She's doesn't follow pop culture
- 54:14and she's had a lot of apparently embarrassing
- 54:16experiences where she just doesn't recognise celebrities
- 54:18because she doesn't she's not involved in any of that stuff.
- 54:21And so like, for example, her story that she told about this
- 54:26was that she was once at an event backstage at some some
- 54:31event, or it was after they'd finished shooting something and
- 54:33she was at a wrap party, I think, or something.
- 54:35Anyway, someone came up to her and said, oh, Tig, hi.
- 54:38And she was like, hi and then chatting to this person.
- 54:41And then the person was like, hey, sorry, no, we met once
- 54:44before, you know, at a thing. And Tig was like, oh, OK.
- 54:47And then one was like, yeah, I'm Anne Hathaway and and.
- 54:53She was like. OK, play.
- 54:56Yeah. And then went home and told her
- 54:58her wife about it. Oh, she calls her her husband
- 55:01and she said, Oh yeah. She said, Oh yeah.
- 55:04We met once before at this. I'm I'm Anne Hathaway from the
- 55:08the after party of whatever. And her wife said, oh, she
- 55:10didn't say I'm Anne Hathaway from Anne Hathaway, like.
- 55:15So anyway, she's a talk show. With like two seasons of very
- 55:20short episodes on YouTube where it's called Under a Rock and
- 55:22it's basically it's Tig Notaro and a celebrity comes on and she
- 55:26has to figure out who it is. And it's it's really.
- 55:30Funny because, and the one I first one I saw was Glenn
- 55:33Houghton from It's Always Sunny. Yeah.
- 55:37Yeah, and then she, he. Comes in and you can tell every
- 55:39time they come in, they're like looking to see does she know who
- 55:43I am? And she does not.
- 55:46It's and it's really funny. I think I'm gonna have to watch.
- 55:49That because I'd, I do like to like, I think she's, she's very
- 55:54quick. She does.
- 55:54She's very funny, yeah. And she's very, yeah, it's, it's
- 55:58very endearing. I loved her in like.
- 56:01What was that zombie movie that she got recast?
- 56:04Because not just recast. GI did the movie they like
- 56:09pasted her over that guy that was and she did a great job
- 56:12with. That, but I love she's in Star
- 56:14Trek. Like, Yep, that's what it was.
- 56:16It was a Star Trek. Wrap party.
- 56:18You just reminded me there was a Star Trek wrap party she was at
- 56:20with Anne Hathaway. And she and Anne Hathaway came
- 56:23over and she was like, oh, sorry, were you in Star Trek as
- 56:26well? And she was like, no.
- 56:29Why are you here? Security.
- 56:31Yeah, exactly. Very funny.
- 56:36Yeah, watch that. It's.
- 56:36Good. It's called Under a Rock, and
- 56:40the Kaylee Cuoco 1 is very good too.
- 56:42And James Vanderbeek, the very first episode is James
- 56:44Vanderbeek. And it's especially funny
- 56:45because you can tell James Vanderbeek is not used to not
- 56:50being recognized and he's finding, he finds it really and
- 56:54and entertaining because he's giving her clues and he's like,
- 56:57are you fucking serious? You don't know who I am.
- 57:01Like this doesn't happen like I'm known.
- 57:04For one thing, and he's. Very, very famous for it, yes.
- 57:11Yeah. Yeah, he's like cackling at
- 57:12times. He gives her a clue and she's
- 57:14like, OK. He's like, I'm so upset that he
- 57:17died. Yeah.
- 57:20Yeah, it's sad mate, we've got a young age.
- 57:23For the after party, this. Week I've I've got a Sophie's
- 57:28Choice for you. I think I, I have a feeling I
- 57:30know what you're going to do, but this is going to be a tough

- 58:40I'll tell. That story in the after party.
