  Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, Welcome to the Large ner Droun Collider podcast,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: the podcast that's all about the geeky things happening in
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: the world around us and how very excited we are
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: about them. I'm Ariel Caston, and with me, as always,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: is the amazing Jonathan Strickland.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: I was working in the lab late last night.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Many Something Something Something.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Site always always quick on the draw to pick up
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: those lyrics, so good at them. Yeah, I am obviously
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: continuing my journey toward enjoying the the spookiest of spooky seasons.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: So I'm reveling and I'm sad that before long we
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: will transition from spooky season to thankful season.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah that's well, I like thankful season.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: But okay, I oh, I like thankful season, and now
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: I'm thankful that I just remembered I need to look
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: into where I'm going to order food.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: That is a good idea, yeah.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Because we're not like we're going to visit my parents
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: for Thanksgiving, and the idea is that we want to
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: keep the whole actual cooking to a minimum, because ain't
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: nobody want to spend all day cooking. So there are
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: quite a few restaurants in Atlanta that do great like
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: takeaway meals where you order it before Thanksgiving and then
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: you just heat it up on the day, although I
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: have to make sure I get one that has already
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: cooked the turkey and it's not just a raw turkey,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: which I could buy for much less money at a
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: grocery store.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I you know my household always does.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: We cook a lot.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: We've finally started like reaching out to the people who
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: usually come in town to be like, hey, are you
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: are you visiting? So we're slowly pulling that together. But
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I can't even look at like I I was gonna say,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: I just do the baking, but I don't. I also
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: make butter, and I make cranberry sauce, and I make
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: punch and then I make some desserts.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you you thrive on people loving your food.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: It's just the actual work that's tough. So you you
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: bring this on yourself.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Cast in I do. I do, but I haven't even
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: started yet. The problem is I do love baking like
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: I like. I love the work too, which is because
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I'm dealing with a sore back right now.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: It makes it harder harder.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, doing all the because my kitchen is not I
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: have a lot of really good space, but it needs
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: a renovation, like the there's a whole bunch in my
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: house that's made for Like my house was built in
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the eighties and so it's all a little bit shorter
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: than modern houses, which is great for short people. But
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I am not a short people.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: No, as Ariel is famous for saying short people got
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: no reason to live.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: That is not at all true. But I am five ten,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: which means that if I have to bend over to
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: wash my hands and my back is hurting, then I'm
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: doing a plea to wash my hands, and it's really awkward.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: What we need to do is get you like some
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: sort of very high chair on casters where you can
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: just wheel around, like it's like some sort of science
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: fiction setting.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: I love sitting in high chairs. I can pretend I'm
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: a dollic, a dolic making gallic rules.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Now sorry, yeah, it would be dollic bread. Yeah, but
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: with a lot of garlic on it.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: So yeah. So I like Thankful Season. I also like
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: spoopy season. I finally finish decorating my front door.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Well for for season. Yeah, we had we've had pump
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: the pumpkins that the jackal enterns that Becca designed years ago.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Like you know, we have like the foam pumpkins, uh,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: and and Becca ended up making a whole bunch of
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: different themed pumpkins or Jacca entterns, and we always put
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: those out. And my plan since I got candy, my
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: plan is to sit outside, uh, assuming that the weather
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: is cooperative, and in case anyone sees me, they can
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: come up and get candy. Because if I don't sit outside,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: our courtyard is so dark that I don't think anyone's
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: gonna come to the to the door. And and I
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: even thought about replacing the light that's on our porch,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: but uh, this is just me covetching.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: We live in like a modern townhouse. And one of
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: the brilliant decisions that the architects and the designers made
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: was to make sure that no two light light fixtures
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: use the same kind of bulbs. Oh now, so I
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: would need to actually go out, take out the bulb
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: that's in there and look at it to see what
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: I would need to order in order to get the
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: right one to reinstall, because it's not your typical light, right.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: And that's the same way like our even our bathrooms
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: have different, different light fixtures. So I can't just get
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: the same bulbs for all the bathrooms because and it's
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: all the lights that are above the mirror. They're different,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: they're different kinds, they have different bases. So I can't
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: just get the anyway, that's not that's neither here nor there.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: I don't need to dwell on that. Instead, I'm going
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: to ask my good friend Ariel a question.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Your question totally spend a lot of time thinking about.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Well, I at least gave you the heads up. Yeah,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: but we're we're continuing our Halloween themed questions, and my
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: question for Ariel was does she have any seasonally appropriate
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: movie recommendations? They don't have to be like super scary
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: or anything, but something that kind of is evocative of
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: the spirit of Halloween.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So I am always a huge fan of It's
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, great choice, I got a rock.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: It's I really like Charlie Brown and Snoopy. I loved
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: the little comic strips growing up. I haven't watched the
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: more recent movies, but I just it's a nice way
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: to look at all the things that people deal with.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: It's something that's very accessible I feel like, but it's
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: a really great, fun, like not spooky Halloween story. Also,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: this isn't necessarily a Halloween movie, but it is a
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: fun monster movie that I came out a while ago,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: and I I just want to remind people it exists
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: because I enjoy watching it anytime I remember about it.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Super eight, Oh wow, I haven't seen that in years.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, So like I like it. It's not super scary.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: It's a little tense because it's a monster movie.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: But I think of that as almost like a gateway,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: like you know, kind of like how Gremlins can be
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: a gateway movie to horror. Super eight, I think is
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: gateway to like sci fi thriller slash sci fi horror.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm not huge in horror. There are hor
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: like Tony and I are watching through the screen movies
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: for Halloween. We've done hocus Pocus because I didn't watch
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: it until the last couple of years. We might do Weapon.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: We're going to watch Weapons this spooky season. I don't
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: know if we're going to do it on Halloween proper.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: So what Weapons is great? You're gonna really find it,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: like as an actor, you're really gonna love the performances.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: The performances are phenomenal for sure.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: And then there's a lot of like suspenseful movies I like,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: but none of them are coming to.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: My brain right now, that's fair, that's fair, So okay,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: out of curiosity because we you and I are a
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: little older than the generation that grew up with Hocus Focus.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: I'm a lot older. You're a little older. What is
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: your opinion on Hocus Focus?
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: Eh?
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, see, I feel the same way. It's like, like,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: I get it that when it came out to the
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: kids of that generation, it could be, you know, more effective.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: But honestly, by the time I finally watched it, I
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: was like, this is what all the fuss is about.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: This is But then I thought, there's probably movies that
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: I love that I grew up with that adults at
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: the time we had the exact same reaction, right like,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: I don't want to hold myself above anyone else. I
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: don't think that is fitting. But yeah, I was, I
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: don't know, maybe not underwhelmed, but just whelmed.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: I also didn't watch Nightmare before Christmas until like last
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: year or the year before, and I watched it at
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Christmas time because everybody says it's a Christmas movie. For me,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: that's a Halloween movie. And that's another one that just
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: like it was built up so much and I understand,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: like stop motion is a fun thing, but the storyline's
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: kind of crap.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's I think it gets by on a lot
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: of charm from like Danny Elfman's music, all of the songs.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: If you go and listen to the songs individually, there's
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: only a couple that are really, I think, kind of fun,
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: and they're all clunky there. None of them are. None
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: of them feel like they were incredibly well put together.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: And when you put them together, it has that rock
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: opera issue where there's a lot of repetition.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well I'm okay with that. But yeah, I I
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: feel like Nightmare before Christmas. I enjoy that movie, but
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: I enjoy it more for the esthetic and character design
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: and the artistry of the stop motion animation than the story.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: I do feel the story is it's very tim Burton.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's just such a Tim Burton kind of
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: feel to it. But so when I was thinking about this,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: I was imagining what if I were to host like
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: a Halloween weekend. Sometimes I do this thing where Becca
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: and I will rent like a cabin someplace, and we'll
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: invite a bunch of our friends. Ariels been to a
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: couple of these where we will get a cabin with
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: enough bedrooms so that most people have a place to
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: sleep without having they certainly don't need to share a bed,
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: but usually there's at least some people being roomies for
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: a weekend. But I was like, if I were to
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: do a Halloween weekend where we were getting together and
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: eating like, you know, stuff, tasty fall themed stuff, and
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: watching Halloween ish movies, what would I pick? And I thought,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: being the crazy person I am, I would want to
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: have four different types of movies for that weekend that
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: span four different subgenres of halloween slash horror. But I
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: didn't pick just one of each. So I've got a
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: lot of choices here. So if you are looking for
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: something to play during Halloween or around the Halloween season,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: here are some of my suggestions. And this is just
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: even though it's a long list, it's just a relatively
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: small list out of my beloved horror genre. So first up,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: if I were doing this, my first choice would be
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: fall into what I'm calling the family friendly slash cringe category.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Because some of these are not good, like they are
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: very much not good. They're very cringey, but that's kind
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: of why I love them. So in the real cringe category,
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: I have Teen Witch, which is truly cringe, and The
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Worst Witch, which is also pretty cringe. That's the one
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: that has anything can Happen on Halloween song that Tim
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Curry does. Then I also have Coraline, which I think
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: kind of gets you into that spirit night remember before
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Christmas is on that list, Para Norman, Franken Weeney, and Muppets,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Haunted Mansion. All those I don't think are cringe, but
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: I think they're in that family friendly zone, so that's
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: kind of easing you in. But then you put the
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: kiddies to bed and we go straight to slasher movies.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: So for slasher films, my recommendations are the Original Halloween,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: which you know you can watch it. I don't think
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: has the same impact as it did when it came out,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: but you can certainly appreciate it for how influential it
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: was in creating the slasher genre. Candy Man, the Original
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: candy Man, which I think is still an incredibly effective
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: horror movie.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: One of my first three horror movies I ever watched,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: and I was too young to watch it. I got permission.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I'm sure everybody's heard this before I got permission. My
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: parents said, you can because you asked, we don't recommend it,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: and they were right.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Now I'll say the more recent Candy Man film
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: is also good. Like it's not bad. I just really
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: like the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Also like the original
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which I would say, if you're watching it,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: you're watching it more to get an appreciation for the
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: very early days of the slasher genre. I don't think
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: it's a particularly good movie, but it's an important one.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: House of a Thousand Corpses also not a good movie,
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: but really entertaining. Friday the Thirteenth Part four. If you're
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: gonna watch a Friday the Thirteenth movie, I recommend either
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Part four Part ten aka Jason Goes to Space if
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: you just want to laugh, or the Friday the Thirteenth remake,
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: which is a decent slasher film. Black Phone another good option,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: or screen the original screen. Then after slasher films, we
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: move into the spooky scary subgenre like ghosts and witches,
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: so in that I would recommend The Black Coat's Daughter
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: by Osgood Perkins. By the way, these are movies where,
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: like the previous one, the slasher film, you can have
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: like fun conversations while the movie's playing. That kind of thing.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: These are the movies where if you're really going to
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: try and enjoy the movie, people have to kind of
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: pay attention, Like it can't just be on in the background.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: That's not that type of movie. But yeah, so Black
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Code's Daughter very much one where you need to pay attention.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: The Witch the movie made by Robert Eggers, or Nosferatu
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: also by Robert Eggers, The Changeling by Peter Medek. That's
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: like a nineteen eighty ghost movie Suspiria. And you might say, wait, Jonathan,
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: do you mean the nineteen seventy seven Dario Argento movie
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: or do you mean the twenty eighteen Luca Guadagino movie.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: And my answer is yes, both of them. They're They're
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: both kind of it's like if you took the same
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: basic idea and then went in two directions with that
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: basic idea and they're both amazing. They're both worth watching.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Hell House LLC. If you want to see a more
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: modern spooky film, which I think is fairly well done.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: The Exorcist is still a classic, or The Exorsis three,
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: which is a very different movie but I think is phenomenal.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: And then finally, the last sub genre I just call fun.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: These are fun horror films. They're not meant to be
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: taken seriously. A lot of them are horror comedies. And
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: I'm starting off with one that Ariel thinks is an
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: actual horror movie. Oh God, Killer Clowns from Outer Space. Yep,
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: it is not a horror movie. It is a stupid
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: movie and it's great and it's got amazing music by
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: the Dickies. And Ariel is wrong. It's not scary. She
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: is entitled to her incorrect opinion and she just saw
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: it at the wrong time because it's I mean, they
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: are grotesque looking clowns, but they don't look real.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: It's like the so like the popcorn bit and then
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: the bit where they wrap people up in cotton candy
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: and suck out their innards like that upsets me. I'm
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: not even afraid of clowns. The movie upset me.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Well, they're not sucking out their innards, they're sucking out
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: their blood. They're just vampires that look like clowns and
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: they're from outer space.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: I still don't like it.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, I recommend too. I recommend it or Sean
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: of the Dead Trick or Treat, which is a fantastic
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Halloween movie. It's an anthology Halloween movie, so there's like
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: multiple short films kind of all collected in a bookend
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Tucker and Dale Versus Evil is a fun horror comedy
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: slasher movie Ready or Not, which is the kind of
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: the the hide and seek themed horror movie from a
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: couple of years ago. Zombie Land is another good one.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: The Frighteners is great. Jeffrey Combs is so entertaining in
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: that movie. What we do in the Shadows very fun.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about the film here, not the series, but
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: both are great. Evil Dead two One Cut of the
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: Dead I cannot recommend that highly enough and it's the
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: kind of movie that you need to see without reading
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: anything because part of what makes the movie so fun
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: is discovery. I will say it's not scary. One Cut
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: of the Dead is not a scary movie. It is
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: a joyous movie, but don't read anything about it because
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: it will ruin what makes the movie special. Happy Death
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Day is another good one. American Werewolf in London is
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: one of my favorites. It's a little more probably lands
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: a little harder on the horror side for a lot
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: of people, but I like it as a horror comedy.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Little Shop of Horrors if you want to have a
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: musical horror movie, or Beetlejuice.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: So see, I love the musical. I didn't put the
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: movie on my list because the movie's just.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: Okay to me, the movie musical, the movie Beetlejuice.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Oh oh, Beetlejuice. Oh okay. Yeah, I thought you were
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: talking about Little Shop of Horrors. I was like, you
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: could have, because you could have been talking about the
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: original Roger Korman movie that had Jack Nicholson in it.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, the musical version is the way to
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: go with work moranas. Uh, there are a few more,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: you've you've jogged my memory. There are a few more
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: I want to add to the list of recommendations. Sure,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Warm Bodies m M, which is a zombie retelling of
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Romeo and Juliet with Nicholas Holt, so wonderful. Fido is
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: that the one where John Cleese plays a zombie.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I have not seen Fido.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Yes, so Fido is. It's like a society. It came
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: out in two thousand and six, a society where humanity
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: has narrowly won a war against a zombie outbreak and
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: technologily allows for zombies to be used as working slaves
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: or pets. And John Cleese plays the predominant zombie. It's
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: a very fun movie.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: I remember, I remember I might even have this on
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: DVD somewhere, but I have never watched it.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: I remember.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: Learning about that.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: I think you should watch it. I think you would
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: enjoy it. For Evil Dead, I am more of a
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: fan of Army of Darkness.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Well, Army of Yeah, Army of Darkness is a sillier
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: movie than Evil Dead two is silly. Army of Darkness
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: is even sillier. Yeah, But it's also it's also almost
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: more in action fantasy than horror, even though the bad
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: guys are all these kind of like undead creatures.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, for sure, but like I don't know, fantasy
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: monster movies still fit into that genre for me, But
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: I'm not a huge like horror horror fan.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: And then if you want something interactive and you have
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: a game cube or you can get access to a
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: game cube, the video game Eternal Darkness. My favorite thing
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: I used to watch on Halloween was a friend playing
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: through the game for the first time.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because when that's a game where your character sanity
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: is a game mechanic, and as your character sanity decreases
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: due to various things that happen in the game, stuff
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: happens that is meta, that's outside the game itself, Like
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: it may suddenly look like, why is my television volume
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: going down for no reason? And it turns out it'll
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: be with you, yeah, or it'll it'll act like it
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: just kicked you out into the menu, usually just as
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: something is attacking you.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it'll it'll turn off the screen. There's also the
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: one where like your control stop working correctly.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll it'll inverse all the controls. Yeah, I had
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: that game. It was it was one of my favorite
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: games on that system.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: And it's it's delightful to watch either someone play through
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: it for the first time. And I've mind you, I've
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: never played it. I've only watched people play it or
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: watching other people watch other people play it who have
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: never seen it before. It's just a light.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's got some really fun gimmicks to it.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: And the story gets real confusing, but it's a it's
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: a yeah, it's not really the point. Yeah, there's a
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: lot of like jumping into different historical time frames and
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: inhabiting the body of different characters, but the predominant storyline
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: you're playing as a woman who did she inherit the house?
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: I can't remember, I think, so, yeah, anyway, she's she's
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: going to a house that I believe belonged to one
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: of her relatives and is uh kind of gets involved
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: in a whole curse situation.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so those those are my added recommendations.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: Good ones. Okay, well, then let us transition to talk
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: about stuff what we've seen since the last time we
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: talked with each other. And I'll just go quickly because
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: I look to see but I haven't really picked anything
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: up since Marvel Zombies, And the only thing I've really
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: watched is I just started watching Elementary. I never watched
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: it when it was on. You know, I think some
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: people fell into either you were a Sherlock fan or
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: an Elementary fan, and some people were both, but there
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: were largely two camps. And at the time I was
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: a Sherlock fan, but after series two it alienated me
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: and I stopped being a Sharlock fan and I never
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: jumped onto Elementary. So I've just started watching and I
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: think it's okay. I don't think it's bad, but I
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: don't think it's great. And it may just be that
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: I'm so early into the series that it hasn't fully
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: clicked with me yet.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: For me, I'm continuing to watch task Master. I'm on
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: series five. It's just dropped because I'm watching it backwards.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: It's the first it's the last series before they bumped
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: up to ten episodes, so it's going much quicker now
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: and I'll get through it very fast. I'm still watching
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: through Venture Brothers and we just start.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: I started the Fall of Theazi Fang, which is campaign
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: for critical Role. Some of my time is taking up
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: rewatching my actual place, which is I love doing them
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: and it's a nightmare for me to rewatch everybody else
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: does a great job. I'm just very critical of myself.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: It's something that I need to get over, so it's
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: a good thing to do. But also to pull social
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: media eclips because I've offered to do that, so that
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: takes up a good bit of my time. But we
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: just started watching the pit on HBO. It's not necessarily
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: a geeky but it's really.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Good medical procedural. Yeah. I've heard good things. I have
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: not watched it yet.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's I mean some of it is hard. It
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: is definitely hard because they do deal with death, and
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: they deal with the pandemic, and they deal with all
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: kinds of hard situations like you would in a trauma
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: er center, especially in Pittsburgh. Like it kind of gets
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: the tone, right.
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: I'm not from there, but my husband is, and it
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: kind of gets the tone of the city, right. And
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: like we were watching the first episode, my husband's like, see
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: that's the PPG building and I'm like, yeap, yes it is.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: But it is basically Er meets twenty four. Each season
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: is one day, twelve hours, a twelve hour shift. Yeah,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: and it's really cool because it doesn't just stay with
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: the same person, so it does jump around person to person,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: But each episode is one hour of that twelve hour shift,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: or at least for season one, season two, I don't
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: know how long it is. But it does a really
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: good job of balancing the serious with the humorous, so
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: there are delightful moments of levity. The cast is amazing.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Apparently the lead in the Pit was one of the
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: leads in ER. I never watched ER, but like even
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: I listened to saw Bones, which is Justin McElroy and
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: his wife Sydney smirl McElroy talking about medical history, and
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: she loves it too, and she's a general practitioner. So
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: I'm like, well, it's got a medical person I likes approval.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's got the seal of approval from doctor Smurle McElroy.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: So yes, so that's what I've watched.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: That's great. Well, then let us move along to our
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: thirty seconds or less, which is I think our longest
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: segment this week. But of course each piece in Theory
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: will only be thirty seconds, so we should blast through it.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: Am I first, I don't have the spreadsheet, open your first, Yes,
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: I'm first, Okay, here we go. As of this recording,
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: Paramount has made two unsuccessful bids to merge with Warner
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: Brothers Discovery, and the Writer's Guild of America hopes to
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: keep it that way. Representatives from the WGA say that
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: the giant movie studio mergers would decrease competition and eliminate jobs. Generally,
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: that does tend to be the case, so the WGA
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: plans to work with regulators to try and keep this
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: merger from happening.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Next, the Broadway strike that we had talked about earlier
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: is currently not happening. Musicians reached a tentative deal Thursday
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: at four point thirty in the morning, just before everybody
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: was about to go on strike. That is very fortunate,
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: as Jonathan and I have a friend currently in New
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: York was seeing one of her favorite shows that day.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: Yesterday.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Wow, Lena was in New York to see Chess on Thursday.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: Oh it makes sense. I should have guessed it was
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: Lena and it was Chess because she's seen it in Europe.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, not a big surprise. That's the one. Okay,
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: this is going to be out thirty seconds or less
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: because not the Sten we talk about Chess. I'll be
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: very curious. You'll have to relate to me what her
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: opinion is, because I'm not on social anymore. But you
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: have to relate to me what she thought because I
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: know the book of that musical is very different from
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: previous versions of it, so I'm curious to hear what
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: her thoughts are. Okay, back in twenty twenty two, a
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: stage musical adaptation of the nineteen eighty four film The
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: Karate Kid, played in Saint Louis, Missouri. Now that show
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: is about to go on tour in the UK before
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: moving on to the West End. Robert Mark Kahman, who
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: wrote the original film, also wrote the book for that show.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: Drew Gasparini wrote the music and lyrics, and I sure
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: do hope they have a musical number and dance sequence
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: to wax On wax Off.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: I have so many mixed feelings about that. But something
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty chill with is the announcement that Coleman Domingo
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: will be voicing the cowardly Lyon in the second part
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: of the new Wicked movies, Wicked for Good. People were
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: thinking that that voice actor was going to be revealed
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: during the Red Carpet, but he just announced it on Instagram.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: I'm not hugely familiar with Colman Domingo's work. I'm sure
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: he'll do a great job. I wonder how similar it'll
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: be to the real coward Lee Lion.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: If you're going to make a popcorn bucket, why not
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: do it with some style. Yep, and celebration of the
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: Back to the Future fortieth anniversary cumine making Old Man
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: Noises AMC will have a DeLorean popcorn bucket on sales
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: starting on October twenty sixth. It'll set you back forty bucks,
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: but just think back in nineteen fifty five, that would
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: be just thirty dollars thirty cents. So the wheels on
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: the DeLorean flip down a lab back to the future. Two.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: The goal wing doors open up, and that's where the
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: popcorn tray is inside, and to me it looks like
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: it could hold maybe one fifth of a bag of popcorn.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, sometimes that's all you want.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Johnny Depp is going to play Ebenezer Scrooge in a
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: horror version of A Christmas Carol. I'm assuming it's a
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: horror version because it's being done by Ty West, who
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: did ex Pearl Maxine, which was kind of an action horror.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: I believe it is going to be titled Ebenezer a
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Christmas Carol. I just hope he doesn't sound too much.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: Like Jack Sparrow.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Everything sounds like Jack Sparrow. Exception of is Willy Wonto,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: which I didn't super care for.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, even his Tonto and the Lone Ranger kind of
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: sounded like Jenck Sparrow, I got to get back in
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: time travel discussions, but in this one I'm talking about
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: a British sci fi comedy film called Time Travel Is Dangerous.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: The movie has already had a theatrical run in the UK,
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: but it's going to open in the US and select
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: theaters and also video on demand on November twenty first.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: That follows an English couple who use a time machine
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: to go back in time in order to steal stuff
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: so they can sell it in their modern day vintage shop,
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: which is a very very English plot and I am
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: totally here for it same.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: I am sad to say that the USh Australian version
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: of the Office, which came out a little under a
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: little over a year ago, was not renewed for a
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: second season. It got great critical review, but it didn't
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: get great audience review, which is sad because I know
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Jonathan and I were both hoping that we'd be able
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: to watch it at some point.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, here's hoping that maybe we'll still get like
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: a distribution of it at some point. In nineteen eighty three,
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: there was a movie titled The Big Chill. It follows
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: a group of baby boomers who get together after one
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: of their friends has died. Well more than forty years later,
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: there's a horror comedy movie now in the works called
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: The Big Kill, and it takes on a similar premise,
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: except now we're talking about jen xers coming together after
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: a friend's death and they get targeted by a serial killer.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: The movie is in production with folks like Skeid Olerich,
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: Alicia Witt, and Pete Holmes starring, so it's a horror comedy.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: Sounds like this movie was made for me, and that's
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: mostly because I'm old.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: I love Pete Holmes. So Yes, Stranger Things. The series
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: finale will be getting a one night theater release I
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: guess maybe one and a half night theater release at
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: the same time as it gets dropped on Netflix. It's
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: a two hour series finale. It'll be in three hundred
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: and fifty movie theaters on December thirty first, starting at
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: five pm, and play through January first. It is interesting.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: I like the reason behind it, which is that the
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: creators are like so much time and effort is put
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: into the sound effects and the visuals that you should
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: see that on the big screen, to see all the
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: detail and all the hard work put into that, and
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: I think that Stranger Things has some really great special effects,
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: so I'm fully behind that. I don't know that I'll
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: go to the movie theaters on the thirty first or
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: first to see it, because I tend to be a
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: homebody on New Year's Day, but I hope it does
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: really well.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: In an interview with in Style magazine, Elizabeth Olsen shared
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: her feelings on theatrical releases, and she said she really
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: likes the communal experience of going to the cinema to
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: see a movie with a group of other people, and
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: that if she can help it, she will try to
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: avoid projects that are meant just to go straight to streaming,
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: though she did indicate that independent films sometimes don't have
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: an option. She also said she loved playing Wanda in
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and if the project is right,
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: she would gladly come back. So the balls in your court,
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: Kevin FIGI.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: I also like theatrical releases. All the last few that
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: I've been to like haven't been full. Like That's the
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: thing is, you even need to go with a really
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: full audience who's all very into it, so you don't
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: have any drunk audience members who are just talking through
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: the whole thing, which happens about sixty five percent the
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: time For me when I go to see a movie
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: when it just freshets.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: I will say, when I saw Weapons, it was not
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: with a sold out crowd. Same with Sinners. It was
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: not with the sold out crowd. But it was a
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: good crowd, Like people were engaged, they were paying attention,
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: they weren't on their phones when stuff happened in the movie.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: You could hear the reaction in the audience. That's ideal,
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: but I admit, like it's it was luck that I
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: landed in those audiences as opposed to ones where you know,
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: it's almost like people just came to the film so
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: they could get a couple of hours of air conditioning
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: and hang out on their phone and stuff like. That's
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: really frustrating to me. I would rather just stay at
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: home and watch the movie if that's the case. But
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: when it's a good experience, it really does, I think,
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: elevate the whole viewing experience, right, which is why I like,
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: that's another thing about that Stranger Thing screening. I think
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: if you're in a theater filled with fans of the
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: series who have all been in vas in this series
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: for like, you know, five full seasons that span you know,
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: way more years than that. Then hopefully it's a really
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: good experience. It reminds me when the last episode of
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: Buffy the Vampire Slayer came out. I actually saw that
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: the premiere of that final episode, not really premiere, I
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: saw it when it aired in Los Angeles. I flew
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: to LA and went to a big group watch of
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: Buffy the Vampire Slayer's last episode, and that was tons
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: of fun. Now, granted that was a group that was
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: guaranteed to be engaged. It was it was like a
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: niche audience, but yeah, it really does make a difference.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: I like when I saw Superman and when I saw
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: Thunderbolts and things like that, the audiences were less full
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: than I wanted. They were good audiences and they were responsive,
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: Like Barbie had a great audience where people were respectful
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: but laughed and was huge, huge, same with Honestly, the
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: Dungeons and Dragons movie, which is kind of wonderful. Sinners
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: was a mixed bag because we did have two kids
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: who tried to find seats using their cell phone light
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: and also I think we're theater hopping and didn't have
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: assigned seats because when other people would come in to
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: sit down, they would move the seats they were sitting
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: in and go to two different seats, which was really
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: frustrating and very distracting. I also had a couple sitting
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: next to me who were talking during the movie, but
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: it was about the movie in the excited way that
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: you're like, Okay, this is because they're so excited about
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: what just happened. I can't be mad at that, right,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: especially if it resonates with them. Similar with like when
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: I saw The Martian, there was a dad and a
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: little girl sitting next to us who talked to the
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: whole movie, but it was because the little girl was
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: asking her her dad questions about the movie, like science
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: y questions, and he was answering them and it was
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: very cute. So like, if you're engaged, yes, if you're
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: like the couple who sat behind me at Deadpool two
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: who were drunk and talking about football loudly the whole time,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: less into that.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, it's that's when you wish that the theaters
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: that you go to would have the same policy as
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: the Alamo Draft House, where they will kick your butt
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: out if you are being disruptive.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: If if you're brave enough to to rat out the
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: people sitting next to you who are being annoying, which
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: happened during Hard Eyes. I had a couple sitting next
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: to me. Now we're being loud, but I was really
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: afraid to turn them in.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: I understand. I'm just like usually with I think Alamo
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: Draft House, they occasionally even have ushers like coming in
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: and checking on the theater to make sure that everybody's
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: like minding their p's and q's. And I'm all for that.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: And that's how you can tell when somebody knows they're
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: doing it wrong, because they'll hush up when the ushers
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: come in and then they'll start talking again. Yeah.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, let us move on to talk about stuff
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: what ain't genre, but we're gonna talk about it anyway.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: That's what we call this segment this week.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: So uh as opposed to stuff that doesn't fit?
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I change it frequently, not every week, but frequently.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: So it is interesting because there's one movie in here
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: I do think does fit pretty.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: Are you thinking Stone Cold Fox? No? Interesting? The Old
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: Woman with the Knife? Yes? Okay, yeah, I was like,
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: both of those are action films, so I guess those
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: could fit. But before we can get into either of those,
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: we have to talk about a merry Little x muss
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: ex hyphen m a S.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is fun because it stars Alicia Silverstone and
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: CLERSI explains it all just immediately. For Melissa Joan Hart.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: Is jan Hard in this?
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: Okay? Is she playing the is she playing the friend?
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: Okay, now you've got me questioning myself.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: Well, okay, I wrote down notes, but I didn't write
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: that down, so that's why I was surprised.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: Also, Jamila Jamil from Good Places in it as well.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: This is one of those hallmarky Christmas y couple breaks
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: up but they still do Christmas together because family and
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: making each other jealous with new love interest kind of movies.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, one of those. You know, it's not actually Hallmark,
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: but it is Netflix, which shouldn't become as a surprise
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: because Netflix is like neck and neck with Hallmark and
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: trying to produce these kind of things. I think Hallmark
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: goodness knows how many Christmas movies are going to have
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: this year. It seems like every year they up the number,
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: Like usually it's more more films than there are days
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: in December. But in this case, Yeah, Alicia Silverstone's playing
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: a recently divorced who is coming to visit her family,
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: and her ex is also coming to visit the family
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: because they've agreed to share custody of their children and
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: they're trying to keep it amicable so that the kids
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: continue to have like a stable kind of life. But
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: she discovers that her ex husband is now in a
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: relationship with Jamila Jamil's character, who is of course younger
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: and a little bit snooty ish. So that prompts Selicia
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: Silverstone to kind of cast her eyes upon a hunky
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: dude with a sharp sense of humor. Who That's where
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: we get into the whole make each other jealous kind
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: of thing. All I was going to say is that
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: it's hitting Netflix on November twelfth.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: That's say. It looks less cheesy than Hot Frosty.
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: It looks maybe you can't get over that.
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: It looks like maybe more fun than a traditional Hallmark movie.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: This one looks like it's got a lot of comedy
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: in it. But it is by Steve Carr, who has
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: done like Freaky Friday movie forty three and do a
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: little Doctor Doolittle too, and Paul Blart Mall Coop, which
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: I've not watched, but people have very different opinions about
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: So I.
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: Don't think people have different opinions about it. I think
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: most people have the same opinion about it.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: Which is there what the macaroys like like it or something?
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: No, they watch They have to watch Paul Blart Mall
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: Coop two every year until they die. That's not someone
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: that's not what they're doing. They're not doing it, and
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: they're doing it with the guys from the worst idea
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: of all time where they tortured themselves by watching Grown
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: Ups two every week for a year and then graduated
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: to other movies like Sex and the City too. So
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: these are not people who are in their right mind.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: No, But I mean this one does look cute to me.
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: For like, I would put it above a lot of
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: more generical movies because it's pretty funny with actors.
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: I like, I would say this definitely looks like it's
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: significantly better than some of those other movies you listed
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: under Steve Carr's resume, But his involvement does not fill
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: me with a lot of confidence.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: Fair enough, Okay, So.
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: Next up we get Stone Cold Fox, which was the
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: movie I thought Ariel meant could have fit into our
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: normal lineup because it is an action film and the trailer.
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: I don't think the movie is gonna be done this way,
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: but the trailer was designed in such a way to
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: make it kind of look like a late seventies maybe
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: early eighties action movie, Like they put the filter on
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: there and everything, and the graphics, like the title was
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: in that big, blocky seventies era style. But the story
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: is about a woman named Fox played by Kiernan Schipka,
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: who escaped from a commune, but she goes back to
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: infiltrate it because her sister is still in that commune.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: And she also apparently gets involved with another woman who's
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: a drug dealer who's played by Kristin Ritter. I think
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: is like part love interest, part antagonist. And then there
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: is a crooked law man played by Kiefer Sutherland and
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: action Shenanigans ensued. This one comes out November seventh. Why
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: did you think of the trailer?
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: You covered it all. It left me feeling okay. I
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: really like the cast. It's got, you know, that very
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: seventies feel to it, like seventy film.
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: Quality Field too.
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it feels to me like someone trying to emulate
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: Tarantino a little bit, but not yeah, but not having
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: Tarantino's style for sure.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: For sure. The next one we got is a trailer
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: for hr All Out. And it took me a second
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: because I read the title and I'm like, I don't
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: I watched the trailer ten minutes ago. Well really it
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: was like an hour and a half ago, I don't remember.
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: But it's actually an announcement for a Broadway show.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So there was a Broadway show called all In
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: that was earlier this year, and there's a writer who
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: created a whole bunch of stories about love. The writer's
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: name is Alex Tembers. He wrote several short stories about
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: love and then they invited groups of four actors and
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: comedians to come up and read out these stories, and
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: the cast rotated, so it wasn't the same for every
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: single performance. So that was earlier this year. Now they
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: have hr all Out and it's a similar idea. It
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: will be groups of four actors and comedians out stories
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: written by Alex Timbers, but this time it'll be stories
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: that are on things like career and business and ambition
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: and like work life, balance and that sort of stuff
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: from a like New Yorker's perspective, and the list of
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: people who are going to be participating in this is
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: really impressive.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: It is. I can't remember any of them at this
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: exact time.
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: I can list some off for you. Jim Gaffigan, Eric Andre,
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: John Stewart, Ben Schwartz, Wayne Brady, Cecily Strong, Sarah Silverman,
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: Jason Manzukus, Craig Robinson, and lots more and Lawrence the
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: band Lawrence will be playing songs in between the stories.
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: The trailer is actually hosted by the founders of the band,
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: Lawrence Clyde and Gracie Lawrence, their siblings and Gracie Lawrence
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: in particular. Really freaking funny.
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah for sure. Oh, Mike Barbickli, isn't it too? Yeah,
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: I'm very excited about this. I probably won't get to
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: see it because I'm not in New York often, but
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: it's a really cool thing.
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It's a very very limited run. It starts on
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: December twelfth, and it looks to me like they're only
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: doing like one show a week. The last show is
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: on March third, so very limited run.
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The next thing we've got is the old woman
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: with the knife, which is the one that I was like,
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: this could possibly fit in to into our normal lineup.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: It's about an older This is a Korean movie. It's
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: about an older woman who used to be an assassin
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: and people kind of think that she's losing her touch,
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: and she proves them wrong.
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she typically would kill people with a poisoned tempt
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: poison tipped ballpoint pen, but she's an adept assassin with
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: all sorts of different weaponry. And it's based off a
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: novel and it's the basic story is that she was
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: orphaned as a child. She's taken in by a family
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: and it turns out that the loving father of this
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: family's actually an assassin and belongs to an organization that
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: targets criminals. So she takes on that job as well,
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: becomes this incredibly well respected assassin, but she gets disenchanted
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: with the organization because it starts to become more like
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: an assassin for higher thing as opposed to we are
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: justice right. So then she's being targeted by various people
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: for various reasons, and she's killing her way out of
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: the problem. This was a film that already has had
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: a release in Korea, but is coming to digital and
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: physical media here in the US on November twenty fifth,
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: and the trailer looked like it's pretty action packed.
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the kind of movie I would watch. The
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: next trailer for doesn't really fit. It could tangentially fit,
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: I guess. Also is for Crime one O one or
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: I like to call it the Unavengers or the closest
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: thing to a Marvel d C crossover we'll ever get.
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: I'm calling it I'm feeling thor.
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: It's a I mean, it's like an intrigue, actiony movie.
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: It feels very generic, but it has Chris Hemsworth who
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: is Thore, it's got Mark Ruffalo who it's got Barry
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: Kyog who is in the Eternals, and it's got Halle
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: Berry who was Catwoman Marvel d C crossover.
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: One of the worst DC movies ever made. That Catwoman movie,
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: Holy cow was that bad.
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: Anyway, So it's weird for sure.
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: So Crime one on one the basic premise is Chris
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: Hemsworth is playing a thief who is very good about
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: not leaving behind DNA evidence at his robbery sites, and
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: Mark Ruffalo is the detective who's investigating a string of robberies,
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: and he has he suspects that at least some of
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: those robberies were committed by the same person who always
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: seems to target his places or people along the one
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: oh one Freeway in California, Like all of his target
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: sites are close to the one oh one Freeway, so
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: apparently that's how he makes his getaway is through the
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: one oh one. Anyone who's been in Los Angeles knows
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: that's ridiculous. The freeways are always busy all the time.
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: But this is a movie so we can have some
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: fantasy in it. And halle Berry plays a woman who's
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: an executive at an insurance company, and the insurance company
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: specializes in ensuring high valued materials like paintings and jewelry
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: and that kind of stuff. So what he's doing is
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: trying to to enlist her in a conspiracy to target
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: the clients of this company in order to steal from them,
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: and she would get a cut. And you know, he's
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: using this as a way of saying, you've worked for
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: this company for a really long time and you've dedicated
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: you know, your talent and skill to this company and
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: they have yet to recognize that, like you are not
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: you're nowhere near a lot far enough along in your
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: career based on what you've done, so don't they owe
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: you something? The whole idea of tempting her to help him.
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: So it looks like it's like an interesting thriller where
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: you've got these three you know, main parties here. You've
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: got the thief, you've got the potential insider, and you've
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: got the investigator, kind of all converging.
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it could be fun.
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It's based off a novella by Don Winslow. It
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: comes out February thirteenth. I thought the trailer looked it
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: didn't like sometimes there are action movie trailers that I'll
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: watch and I'm like, yeah, I really want to see
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: this this one. I'm like, it's not that I really
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: want to see it. It's more like if it was on,
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: I would watch it.
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it looks generic but good, good enough.
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and like you know, they've got some charismatic actors
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: in it, so I'm sure it'll be entertaining.
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Chris Hemsworth is a very good actor. I enjoy
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: him quite a bit. I enjoy his work quite a bit.
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: The last trailer we have for doesn't really fit is Malice,
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: which is David d'oveny's family brings in a tutor nanny
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: guy who turns out to be pretty dang creepy.
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, played by Jack Whitehall, which is hilarious because I
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: just know Jack Whitehall as a goofball comedian on British
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: talk shows, like I've seen him on things like The
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: Graham Norton Show and stuff, so it's like, weird to
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: see him playing a sinister character. But this is a series,
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: and it's it's coming to Prime video and it's six
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: episodes in total, comes out November fourteenth, and yeah, basic
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: premises David Coovny's playing a guy named like I think
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: it's James Tanner, so it's the Tanner family, but not
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: the one from Full House. I was really sad to
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: learn that. I was like, if this is a Full
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: House extended lore Fell series, I'm totally in. It's not,
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: but the Tanners. Tanners are in Greece. There nanny becomes
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: mysteriously sick and this charming tutor play by Jack Whitehall
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: kind of ingratiates himself and becomes essentially invited to work
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: for the family, and then it turns out he's he
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: seems to be up to No Good. Yeah, six episodes
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: November fourteenth. If if I were to watch it, it would
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: specifically be to watch Jack Whitehall be creepy.
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: Fair enough, fair enough. It didn't really appeal to me,
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: but if you watch it, let me know what you
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: think we'll do.
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, let's let's move on to John Boys
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: Horror Hutch. I just got two and only one of
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: them's a trailer, although I could talk about the other trailer.
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: It's the first is the Beldam so beld Ham if
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: you were to spell it out b E L Dham.
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: It's technically a psychological horror movie that was first released
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: in festivals in twenty twenty four, but it's finally getting
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: a US release on November seventh. According to Wikipedia, there's
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: an alternate title for this movie, which is The House
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: at hellow End, though I didn't see that reference anywhere else,
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: but chances are it's correct. The story follows a new mother.
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: She is named Harper played by Katy Parker, and she's
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: headed to stay at her mother's house and her mother
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: has like a living boyfriend played by Corbin Burnson. Patricia Heaton,
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: who is the mom from the middle, plays Harper's mother, Sadie,
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: and Sadie is worried about Harper's mental health. Her mental
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: state appears to be deteriorating, and so she's worried about
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: the safety of our grandchild. Meanwhile, Harper is suspicious of
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: her mother and feels like there is a supernatural threat
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: in her mother's house that her mother may very well
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: be in cahoots with, and that that is the threat
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: to her and her child's safety. And so it seems
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: to me like this might be playing on. Is Harper reliable?
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: Is she an unreliable narrator? Is it actually all in
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: her head because her mental health is deteriorating, or is
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: there a supernatural element going on? Or both could be?
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: Why not both? So I guess what have to wait
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: till November seventh to find out. But it looks interesting.
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: Don't know that, I mean, no, I do know. I'm
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: not gonna go out and see this, but I would
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: probably wait and watch it if it were on streaming.
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: The other one is Hollywood Hell's, which potentially could have
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: fit in our thirty seconds or less. But this is
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: a horror project, so I've put it in here. So
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: Hollywood Hell's is a thriller that follows the story of
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: a young actress who's trying to make a name for
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: herself and she goes to an industry party in Hollywood
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: and she encounters some power broker people who share the
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: twisted common interest of producing snuff films. So, in other words,
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: a movie where the person on camera actually is killed, right,
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: that's the plot, and that she then turns the tables
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: on these power brokers, so it seems like it's kind
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: of a revenge film sort of feel to it as well.
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: The New Zealand company Black Mandala has jumped on board
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: this project and will be shopping it around during the
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: upcoming American Film Market. That's an industry event where independent
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: films often look for distribution, so there's no guarantee that
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: this movie's gonna get wider distribution. There is a trailer
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: on Vimeo for it, and I watched it and it
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: felt like a very low budget horror movie to me,
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: like the clearly shot on digital video, and it didn't
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: look like it was. The trailer itself was not good.
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: I tried to avoid using phrases like that, but I
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: just felt it was a poorly constructed trailer that doesn't mean,
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: the movie's bad, but man, they needed to get some
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: other black Mandala needs to hire a trailer house to
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: cut their trailers because they did not do a good job.
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: I watched it. I was like, Wow, this looks terrible.
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: It just doesn't look like a good movie. But hopefully
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: the actual film is better and it'll find distribution. But
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: that's it for the horror Hutch.
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: I don't like anything at I don't like anything that
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: plays with the snuff film.
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: I mean that as an actor, I can understand why
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: you would be reluctant to watch a movie about actors
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: getting killed.
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't even like the concept, Like, just
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: the idea of that happening is so creepy.
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: Well, if it's any consolation, the concept of snuff film
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: is pretty much a fictional thing and not a thing
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: that's in reality.
• 57:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't like it.
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: You can add that to my list of nos. So
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: now we've got four trailers, so this will be a
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: reasonable length episode almost yes.
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: And one of the mist trailer for something we've already
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: talked about, so we want I don't think we're going
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: to have a lot more to say about it.
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: I'll have a little bit to say about it, Okay,
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: not too much. The first trailer though, is for troll Too,
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: and this isn't Trolls two. It's a sequel to the
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: Norwegian troll film from nineteen twenty two, twenty two saying
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: great this from nineteen twenty two, that would be.
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: Amazing silent film with a card coming up saying rare
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: ar Yeah, no, twenty twenty two movie. Yeah. When you
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: said nineteen I was like, say what now I more coffee?
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah. So it's a like you said, Norwegian movie.
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: And that first film follows the story of a group
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: of people who are trying to to stop an enormous troll,
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: like a mountain sized troll as it's going on in
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: destructive spree. The troll is awakened by a drilling team
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: that's trying to build a tunnel through a mountain, and
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: they awaken the troll and it goes on a rampage.
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: This one, I don't know exactly what's happening, but apparently
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: there's a group of scientists who have a mega troll.
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: It looks like to me that the mega troll is
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: a lab creator, bad guy troll. And then that they
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: come across another troll who might be the good guy
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: troll and then they have like cong versus Godzilla Troll
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: like fights. Now I'm gonna be real honest. I didn't
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: watch the first Troll movie. I wanted to, but it
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: almost looked more like a horror to me at the time.
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's what it ended up being. But
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: this one, this trailer definitely has a very different vibe
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: to it.
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's I think it's a giant monster movie,
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: which I guess you could argue is kind of adjacent
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: to horror or a subgenre of horror. I don't know
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: how horrific it was, but yeah, I have the exact
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: same note. My note is like not sure if Mega
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: Troll is a cyborg control or not, but Megatroll goes
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: up against another troll a la Godzilla versus Kong, so
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: we had the same idea. Yeah, I have not seen
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: the first one either. I did watch Troll Hunter, which
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: I thought was a thinking of that's a great movie.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: It's and it's also I mean, it's got some horror
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: elements to it, but it's it's like a horror comedy,
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: more on the horror than the comedy. But there is
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: comedy in it. I really like Troll Hunter quite a bit.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: I haven't watched troll which is a separate movie. It's
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: not the same, folks. But this comes out on December
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: first on Netflix, so you can, I imagine, watch the
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: first troll movie on Netflix and then follow it up
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: with the sequel if you wanted to.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the sequel does at least know what it is.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: They even reference it in the trailer, which I don't. Yeah,
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: it's a good thing or a bad thing.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they make meta commentary about sequels and stuff, and
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: there does seem to be like a scientist comedy comic
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: relief kind of character in this.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The next thing we got we talked about. This
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: is the one we talked about before. We got a
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: teaser for a show called Pluribys coming to Apple TV.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: But we just got the full trailer and I think
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: it looks really good.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I wrote that this feels like it could be
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: a sister series to Severance in some ways.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: I shared this with my friend, who I also know
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: likes Breaking Bad because it's Vince Gilligan, the same creator,
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: and she said the same thing. She goes, it looks
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: like a reverse Severance.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it feels to me like they are spiritually connected.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: Like this would be Vince Gilligan's take on something akin
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: to Severance, except instead of instead of everything being sort
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: of dull and morose and in praise of this one
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: mythical business leader, it's everybody is happy and content and
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: seemingly almost like a hive mind except for a couple
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: of exceptions. It does look like there's more than one
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: exception though. Like the original teaser made it look like
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: the protagonist was the only person in the world not affected,
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: this makes it look like maybe there are others out
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: there too.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The premise on Wikipedia says it follows author Carol Stirka,
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: who is seems to be the only person immune. But
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: seems is a very strong word. But the thing that
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: is interesting to me is if it's a virus that
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: makes everybody content and optimistic, where is everybody? Because we
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: see the main character go to the store and go
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: on a plane, and it seems like there's just not
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: It doesn't say it kills everybody, but where don't optimistic
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: happy people also have to shop?
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, maybe it's supposed to be that they I
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: don't know. It's hard to say, because like it feels
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: to me like the idea is that whatever it has
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: done to people, it has also satisfied their needs in
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: some way where they're not doing like your daily activity
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: stuff anymore. Like it's kind of like zombies in a way,
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: except in so them being aggressive and trying to eat you,
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: they're just trying to assimilate you. This it's interesting because
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: it's already been renewed for a second season and the
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: first episode hasn't even come out yet. It comes out
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: November seventh, and the first season will have nine episodes
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: in that the first two episodes drop on November seventh,
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: so we'll get a two episode drop on day one.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 3: I'm so excited about this.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: It might also be that they've sequestered her away to
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: her own area so she doesn't affect the other people,
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: if it.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: Is, like that's true, like a quarantine of some sort.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because you know there does seem to be
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: a power player, and if that person is trying to
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: domineer or obtain maintain control, then you you know, you
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: try to get rid of things that threaten that. Yeah,
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: we'll see. It's it raises a lot of quiet since
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: it looks very good.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 3: I'm so watching this.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then we're going to finish up with two
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: projects that I don't want to put words in anyone
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: else's mouth, but I have a feeling neither of us
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: are greatly anticipating either of these two.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the first one, I don't know. The first one
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: is a trailer for Altered, which is a superhero movie,
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: kind of.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: Superhero sci fi superhero film.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, starring.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 3: The Tom Felton, Tom Felton, who.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: Was the Draco Malfoy in the HP series, playing someone
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: in a wheelchair. So immediately I was a little bit like,
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: I don't super care for Like, I understand why they
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: do it on Broadway sometimes, like in Wicked when one
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: of the characters, Nessa, is able to get out of
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: a wheelchair, though they've since looked at that again and
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: don't necessarily always do that, you know, because if you've
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: got someone who is stuck in a wheelchair, who is
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: a wheelchair user. Not all wheelchair users are confined to
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: their wheelchair, right, but if you have someone who is,
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: then it would be hard to make them stand if
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: you want that to be a part of your play,
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: which I guess is why they used Tom Felton because
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: he also needs to be the superhero character.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: But I'm always a little bit like, well, yeah, he's
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: got a suit that gives him like Iron Man like powers.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: Except for it looks like task Master.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: The suit design is not good. Yeah, it would have been.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: You would have had to cast two different actors if otherwise,
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: because you just unlet or one of them would have
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 2: to be all cgi right. So the setting is a
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: futuristic world where there has been some sort of calamitous disaster,
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: but the world has rebuilt itself, and there are two
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 2: broad categories of people. They're the wealthy haves aka the genetics,
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: who have used genetic alteration to give themselves different appearances
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: and abilities. And then there are the quote unquote specials,
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 2: which is everybody else who are the have nots. And
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: so Tom Felton's character is one of those specials, one
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: of the have nots, and he ends up engineering this
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: suit to help fight against this oppressive regime and the
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: segregation that happens in society because of it. And it's
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: from a Finnish filmmaker. It had a theatrical release in
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: Russia already and it's getting a limited theatrical run in
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: the United States on November twenty first, I wrote that
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: this quality wise, it looks like it's a step above
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: Asylum Pictures films, but not a huge step above.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen any Asylum Picture films. I will say
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: that like it. It looks like it and maybe this
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: is purpose It could be purposeful. It looks like it
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: might suffer in figuring out what tone it wants to have,
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: because it starts off a little dark and then it
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: brings in some sorry, my cat is deciding to do
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: extreme sports in here while I record, So if you
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: hear any background noise and Jonathan isn't able to get
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: it out, that's why Like there was the trailer started
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: off a little gritty, and then it went to a
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: place that felt like Free Guy, because it almost seemed
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: like it was going to be a jokey, funny movie.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: And then it went to a place that felt like
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: Jupiter Ascending, which was not a good movie. Well, some
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: people may disagree. I did not enjoy it because it
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: dealt with people with different genetic changes.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: Sibling movie I think haves.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: And have nots, So like it feels like maybe just
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: too many concepts put together like I could be behind
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: any one of them potentially, but it didn't super grab me.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: Though.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: Then you said I had a finished director, and now
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: I might need to give it a second thought.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: Okay, sure, yeah, because Finnish people can't make bad stuff.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: They can, but hey, if you want to waste a
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: couple of hours of your life watching this, feel free.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 2: I just think it looks like a lackluster sci fi film.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: I was happy to see Tom Felton in something, but
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: I don't think this was a good use of his
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: talent personally based upon the trailer. I mean, maybe I'm wrong,
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: maybe it's just a bad trailer and it'll be fine.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: But it doesn't even look like he's a horrible actor
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: in it.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 3: It just doesn't.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: It is weird hearing him do an American accent though.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 2: Then we have another movie that I think is just
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: a step above Asylum quality called cotton Mouth. But the
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: thing that the reason why I put cotton Mouth on
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: here because it's a Western and normally I would be like, oh,
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: maybe this goes into the doesn't quite fit category. I
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 2: put it here because as I watched the trailer, I
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: clocked what it was and I hadn't even looked at
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: character names. If you look at the character names and
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: you know your classic literature, you'll clock what it is
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 2: right away. But as I'm watching, I'm thinking this is
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: a Western but I it this is the plot of
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: the Count of Monte Cristo. And then I looked at
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: the character names, and sure enough, the protagonist is ed Dantes,
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 2: which that's a direct reference to the Count of Monte Cristo,
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: the Alexandre Demas novel. And we talked about how there's
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: another kind of Count of Monte Cristo inspired project where
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 2: it's the Countess of Monte Cristo. It takes a different,
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: a totally different spin on the story. But this is
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 2: a Western version of the Count of mon money Christo.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: And the reason I was interested in even watching the
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 2: trailers because Ron Pearlman is in it, and I like
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: Ron Peerlman a lot. But y'all, I cannot say that
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 2: this trailer gives me any confidence in the quality of
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: this movie.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I love when Ron Pearlman gets to be Ron
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: Peerlman and not behind a whole bunch of prosthetics, kind
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: of like the same with Doug Jones whenever, because sometimes
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: that can lead. It's worked better for n Perlman for
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: being like leads, I feel like, but it's nice to
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: be able to see him rock his full self. It
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: also stars Jonathan Lipnicki, who is the little kid in Stuart,
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: Little Jerry Maguire and Little Vampire.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's interesting, Yeah.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: Who is like if you knew, you could recognize him
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: as an adult because he's thirty five now huh. But
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: I had to look up the cast list because I
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: didn't look at the character names. I like the County
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: of Money Cristo. It doesn't take enough space in my
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: brain for me to recognize the names right away. But
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: that is interesting. That almost makes it feel more interesting
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: to me.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: Well, for me, it was just like watching the trailer.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: I was like, Okay, a guy is about to get married,
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: some other people are lusting after his fiance. He gets
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: framed for a crime, he gets thrown into jail. He
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: meets someone in jail who helps him both escape and
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 2: plan his revenge. That's Count of Monte Cristo. That's what
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 2: that story is. And so, like I said, it wasn't
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: until I looked at the names where like at first
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 2: I was just like, oh, they've adapted The Count of
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: Monty Cristo as a Western and then when I saw
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: the names, I'm like, oh, they're not even They're not
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: even being subtle about it, They're directly referencing it. I
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 2: wish it looked better it does. It just looks to
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: me like it's a load to mid budget film shot
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 2: on digital video. It's the digital video that really does
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: it for me. Like sometimes if it's a low budget
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 2: shot on digital video, that makes it look even cheaper
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 2: to me. Yeah, like you could have been shot on film,
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: I probably would feel better about this. But also I
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 2: don't think it's a very well done trailer. It's the
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 2: same issue I've had with the other ones I've talked
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: about on today's episode. But this does come out on
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: Amazon and November fourth, so if you have Amazon Prime,
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: you'll probably be able to watch it, you know, in
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: just like a couple of weeks.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: I do think I'll I do think I'll skip it.
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: Like the trailer did not grab me. I just didn't
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: catch them at Count Mona.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 2: Krysta thinks, yeah, yeah, yeah, I wish I had more
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: exciting things to add into our actual lineup part, but
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 2: we're real kind of in the dregs right now, because
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: we've already all the Halloween stuff has already happened. We're
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: getting a little bit of Christmas stuff, but not that
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: much yet, oddly enough, normally we would have had more.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm sure, I'm sure we'll be getting more
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 2: of those in the next couple of weeks. But then
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: we get into the real dregs aka January. That's where
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 2: studios go to dump the stuff they don't know where
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 2: else to put.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe we'll have to pivot and either watch all
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: the things that we're excited that are coming out in
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: November and December and catch up on that and talk
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: about it, or.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 3: Oh maybe fill it up with mashups or something, or we'll.
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: Talk about things that have been out for years and
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 2: years and years but we're just now getting around to
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 2: seeing them alat Elementary.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 3: Or The Shine.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'll finally watch The Shining.
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: That's a great movie as long as you're watching the
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: Stanley Kubrick one and not the terrible made for TV
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 2: one with Stephen Weber awful.
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, even though that one.
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 2: Had Stephen King's blessing and Stephen King famously did not
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 2: like the Kubrick version. But I maintain it's superior in
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: every way.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: I am very hit or miss on Stephen king properties,
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: and I don't I've been told that he doesn't always
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: make the best literary choices, but I don't know, because
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: I don't read a lot of his stuff.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: Well. To be fair, a lot of his writing for
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: a lot of his career was powered by his nose.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: Gotcha. But I did read on IMDb the other day
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: that The Dark the Mike Flanagan Dark Tower series is
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: still in the works.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 2: So is it? Gosh? Yeah, because after that last adaptation,
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: I just figured that there'd be no hope for trying
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 2: to do it again.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: I so this didn't even pick up. It's going to
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: be a Netflix series, didn't even pick up until after
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: that last adaptation. But yeah, as of a week ago,
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: there was news that it is still in the works,
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: that he is working on it.
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, Mike Flanagan is now the go to guy
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 2: to adapt Stephen King works. Right, Like, even the stuff
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: he did that wasn't directly a Stephen King adaptation feels
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 2: very in line with like King's aesthetic, so it totally
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 2: makes sense.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'm excited about that. I meant to put
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: it in last week, and these two weeks have been crazy.
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: Next week should be a little bit calmer for me,
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: So then Jonathan won't have to do all the work
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: because Jonathan is amazing. But that's it for today. So Jonathan,
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: if people want to get in touch with us and
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: be like, oh, hey, you missed this cool thing, or
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: here's what I think about. Here are some great recommendations
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: for Halloween movies. How would they try to reach you?
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 2: Well, you're going to be heading over to the train station.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 2: You're going to get on a train, and as the
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 2: train starts going, you're going to realize that the train
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 2: itself is sentient and it's also we love. It's gonna
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: be taking you rapidly through the landscape, and it's your
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: job to figure out a way of stopping the train
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 2: and getting off. Assuming you do that, what you're gonna
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 2: find yourself at is a beach that is completely infested
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 2: with these giant lobster critters. They are saying things like
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 2: data chuck and data chow, and uh, you're gonna be
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 2: careful because you're gonna, I hate to tell, you're gonna
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: lose some fingers in this process. There's just unavoidable. You're
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 2: gonna lose like a couple fingers off your right hand,
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: so you know, make your plans accordingly. And once you
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: get through that, you're gonna come up to this town
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 2: where there's this weird wizard dude who's just really all
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 2: up in your business. It's gonna be really irritating. You're
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 2: gonna have to work your way through that. Eventually you're
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: gonna find yourself coming toward this tall spire where everything
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: seems to be connected to this spire. You're gonna pass
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 2: by Stephen King because he's written self into this, even
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: though I told him, please don't do that. You're gonna
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: keep going beyond the ability for me to describe the
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: Dark Tower series anymore, because I stopped reading after the
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: fourth book because I got so fed up with it.
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: But we'll assume other stuff happens, and then eventually you're
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 2: gonna find me sitting on a throne. I'm the man
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: behind the curtain, and I'll be like, well, clearly, whatever
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 2: you have to say is really important, because you put
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: yourself through a lot of trouble just to get here.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, maybe I'll answer it.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: Wait, is Dark Tower just Wizard of Oz.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, yes, there are Wizard of Oz elements to
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: Dark Tower. Yes, like it's okay. The Dark Tower is
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: either Stephen King's greatest work if you are a certain
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: type of fan, or it's his most exasperating, self conglaberate,
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 2: conglatiatory mess of a work if you're.
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: Me I have I have a lot of friends who
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: really like the beginning of the series and don't care
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: for the end of it. But yeah, if you also
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: haven't read The Dark Tower, so you missed half the
• 1:18:12
