• 4:19
  the last season, right season. I'm about halfway through season four, and
• 4:26
  I just I've been on the same episode for like three or four days.
• 4:30
  I keep falling asleep in the same spot, and and you know, part
• 4:32
  of it is, Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna take my night cull and
• 4:35
  lay on the couch and watch some Star Trek and you know, serving seven
• 4:40
  minutes later there, I am. Yeah, but but but what stinks is
• 4:46
  you know you go to restart an episode and and it shows you where you
• 4:50
  left off, and it's like, this is where I stopped it and rolled
• 4:54
  over and went to sleep. Let me back it up a little bit,
• 4:56
  so you know, you back it up like three or four minutes earlier.
• 5:00
  So I'm watching. I've watched the same three or four minutes like six times
• 5:04
  in a row. I'm like, when am I going to get to some
• 5:08
  new content? Michael crying? We used to joke about it, but as
• 5:12
  I'm rewatching, I'm like, you know, all the time the couch pointed
• 5:15
  out to my wife, she's crying again. She's crying again. I was
• 5:17
  like, she's crying again. Like, yeah, she's crying again. Yeah.
• 5:23
  Scott's sitting there in Michigan and he's like, where's the phone. I
• 5:26
  got a call down. They have to have like a tray of like eye
• 5:30
  drops nearby so you can put it into tears. Oh absolutely, yeah.
• 5:40
  Yeah. Well, speaking of tears, let's get see the news star Trek
• 5:46
  News. All right, so our first news story has a bit of breaking
• 5:51
  news coming into us from a Trek Central dot net and apparently, uh,
• 6:00
  Scott, you had this question last week about starting Prodigy season two exists.
• 6:04
  Well, apparently it's out. It's out in Loving a Baby. It is
• 6:08
  out in France. It has been posted to France dot tv, which is
• 6:14
  their public television similar to our PBS. We we yeah, it is out
• 6:19
  in love and every minute of it. It was released yesterday. It looks
• 6:24
  like all the episodes are out and and it's like a streaming service. I
• 6:28
  guess over there, all twenty episodes of Prodigy season two are out and yeah,
• 6:34
  so it's there. What are they waiting to dub it in English or
• 6:40
  I don't know, man, but it is out in France America? Right
• 6:46
  everything first? No, no, no, no, no, the French
• 6:48
  apparently there are fine. Yeah. People are calling it a leak, but
• 6:56
  I mean it's the public television streaming service. Like, I don't, is
• 7:00
  that really a leak? Yeah, it's either like an okay leak or they're
• 7:06
  gonna face a massive lawsuit, right right, or like somebody put the wrong
• 7:11
  data when the files go live and oops. Yeah right, so whatever,
• 7:15
  but it's out, so there you go. I'm sure that'll be hitting a
• 7:18
  streaming service or a certain bay for pirates. I'm sure that'll be on their
• 7:24
  sin. Yeah. Yeah. Our next news story comes to us from Variety.
• 7:30
  Earlier this week, there was a announcement of a basically a private equity
• 7:36
  firm called Apollo who put in a bid to purchase Paramount. They put in
• 7:42
  an eleven million dollar bid, and so we are now getting reaction from Sherry
• 7:46
  Redstone. Shrey Redstone is the majority owner of Paramount. She has most of
• 7:51
  the stock and she just basically boffed at this eleven billion dollar bid and it
• 8:00
  is basically denying it and not really interested in it. It's not enough.
• 8:05
  So so right now Paramount still remains for sale, and just not for eleven
• 8:11
  billion dollars probably a little bit. How we doing, uh, how are
• 8:16
  we doing on the KOFE account? We have all right, so we've got
• 8:22
  some room for improvement. That's right, That's right. I guess I guess
• 8:26
  what I'm saying is, if you guys out there in podcast land really want
• 8:31
  us to write this ship, we're gonna have to. We're gonna have to
• 8:35
  plunk some cash down, that's right, and purchase the fleet. So yeah,
• 8:39
  maybe we could pull our money with other like Star Trek podcasts. Yeah.
• 8:43
  Yeah, no, no, no, no, we're not sharing.
• 8:46
  We were check cast. Keep it up with the Kardiathians. They're fund raising.
• 8:54
  Yeah, I'm very leary of a private equity firm purchasing paramount. Yeah.
• 9:01
  Just what tends to happen with those kinds of situations. Basically, that's
• 9:05
  what happened to Toys r Us and Sears and to Kmart is these firms come
• 9:11
  in, they settle the business, they buy with a ton of debt,
• 9:15
  then they declare bankruptcy and pay for that debt for pennies on the dollar.
• 9:18
  They all cut themselves checks and that's it. So yes and no. There
• 9:28
  it's a little bit different. It's a little bit different talking about a retail
• 9:33
  store as opposed to IP star. I'll see what I mean. What I
• 9:45
  mean is Kmart is essentially worthless right now. Star Trek as a as an
• 9:52
  IP will never ever ever be worthless. They can always do another movie,
• 9:58
  do another show, crank out some more merch. Yeah. Yeah, I
• 10:05
  just I wanted to be in the hands of somebody who cares about it,
• 10:09
  I guess, is where I'm getting at. Well, I think what's more
• 10:13
  likely is for them to to you know, buy paramount snap Star trek Off
• 10:18
  and resell it to someone else who maybe writes something amazing. Right, it
• 10:26
  depends on who's like in charge as far as like, you know, there's
• 10:28
  a difference between the being counters, you know, the accountants and the creative
• 10:33
  consultants. It depends on you know, who's got more influence, more sway.
• 10:41
  You know, are they interested in you know, in the properties.
• 10:43
  Because I understand this is all just a money game, but people didn't Some
• 10:48
  of these people didn't get into this business just for the money. They couldn't
• 10:52
  have because there's a lot of great content out there that that can't be created
• 10:56
  by accountants. Right, So there's got to be people out there with influence
• 11:01
  that love what they're making and love what's coming on that love Star trek that
• 11:07
  have some influence on what's going on. I mean, you could buy something
• 11:11
  of value without caring about it at all. I sell it and sell it
• 11:18
  to someone who does love it. You know, I'll give you the perfect
• 11:22
  example. You know, you guys know I go thrifting all the time.
• 11:26
  Oh yeah, and you know I look for g I Joe's he Man transformers,
• 11:31
  all the things that I'm interested in. However, when I see a
• 11:35
  box of my little Ponies, I have zero interest in those. But I
• 11:39
  know there are people out there who want them, So I will plunk down
• 11:43
  the three dollars for that box of my little Ponies and then spend hours on
• 11:48
  the Internet learning about my little pony. Yes, just so I know which
• 11:54
  pony I have that, so that I could sell it to some forty three
• 11:58
  year old woman who wants friendship pony to remind her of nineteen eighty three or
• 12:03
  whatever. See, Daniel, and I know truth, we know. The
• 12:07
  reason why you're in that van right now is because it is completely decorated with
• 12:11
  little I am laughing because so I used to work in the office building.
• 12:16
  In the lower portion of the building was an independent movie theater, and I
• 12:20
  was friends with the owner of that independent movie theater. Oh, I thought
• 12:24
  you said, I thought you said intimate movie theater. No, independent,
• 12:28
  not part of a chat. I'm thinking they still have those. That's right,
• 12:33
  This is the story is going to take a turn. It was just
• 12:35
  his apartment. It was really weird. Yeah. Anyways, he would rent
• 12:41
  out that movie theater on on Saturday mornings to a group of Bronis and they
• 12:46
  would watch my little Pony on the big screen. Oh my god, yeah,
• 12:52
  jazz Biness Pony upon there you go. Yeah. Anyways, so yeah,
• 12:58
  so that's what's going on with Paramount Our. Next news story comes fust
• 13:01
  from trekmovie dot com and the mythical star Trek Section thirty one. Film has
• 13:07
  wrapped, so that means they are done filming. You know. We had
• 13:11
  somebody in the group say that they were suspicious because of how quick the filming
• 13:16
  went. Well, they did start filming on January thirtieth, so what that.
• 13:22
  That's a couple of months. So yeah, it's about time. And
• 13:26
  it is a TV movie. It's I was just gonna say, it's a
• 13:28
  yeah for TV movie. Yeah it's yeah, it's not The Avengers. So
• 13:33
  yeah, it's not gonna take months and months and months. They shot the
• 13:37
  majority of it, probably on the volume, and yeah, they're gonna probably
• 13:39
  edit it and cut it. Honestly, we could probably see it by the
• 13:43
  end of the year. But yeah, do we know for sure other than
• 13:48
  what's her name? Michelle? Yeah, Michelle? Yeo, do we know
• 13:54
  who's in this? They announced the cast, but it wasn't anyone. I
• 14:00
  was familiar with, and when I went and researched him, most of them
• 14:03
  didn't have like big backgrounds, so I couldn't say off hand in this story
• 14:09
  they don't list everybody, but I mean, the last time we saw her,
• 14:13
  she was headed back to well, they didn't say the twenty third century,
• 14:18
  but they said a time when the timelines weren't so diverged, right,
• 14:24
  right, isn't that the way they said it? Oil Alert? Watching it?
• 14:26
  Yeah, there you go, people show. I don't I don't see
• 14:33
  uh, asked Tyler? Is he in this? Yeah? I don't see
• 14:35
  him on there either? So oh did you not like that character? Did
• 14:43
  you not? Did you not? Did you hear? Did you not just
• 14:46
  see me? Call him? Asked Tyler? Yeah, that's right. He
• 14:50
  was my favorite. So you know what I mean. I know we're here
• 14:54
  to talk about Ghostbusters, but this is treck cast. So you know,
• 14:58
  Scott, what do you think watching it again? Five years later? Okay?
• 15:03
  Yeah, I was hoping to bring that up. I really enjoyed the
• 15:07
  first two seasons. The third season, I'm starting to remember why we started
• 15:15
  to go, we have to watch this or I understand why you guys were
• 15:18
  like, what I gotta watch this for the show. This is homework.
• 15:22
  You know. I watched it this morning on my you know, on my
• 15:26
  Apple watch. Didn't really care whatever. You know, It's the whole thirty
• 15:33
  ninety third century thing is a little bit old. I'm getting real sick of
• 15:39
  watching the nas cells detached im. It's getting it's I don't like it.
• 15:46
  I don't like it. I I don't like it either. I don't mean
• 15:50
  to be a you know, the the disco hater all the time, but
• 15:58
  I really did. I really did go into it thinking I'm going to give
• 16:03
  this a fresh try, you know. And I mean I watched three and
• 16:07
  a half seasons this You guys know how I feel about this show. And
• 16:11
  you know what I've said about the show over the last five years. And
• 16:14
  I went in and rewatch just about the whole thing. So I don't think
• 16:18
  anybody could say he didn't give it an honest, you know, an honest
• 16:22
  goh. But I found a lot of a lot of things that I disliked
• 16:27
  five years ago. I'm just not over them. Yeah, you know,
• 16:32
  and I think, I you know, and I thought to myself, well,
• 16:33
  maybe the second time through it won't be such a big deal. They
• 16:37
  fumbled the Klingons so bad, so bad, so badly. Yep, And
• 16:45
  I know it's five years later, but I'm looking at this going why who
• 16:49
  thought this was a good idea? Yeah? Who thought? I mean I
• 16:53
  did a fundamentally change everything we've ever seen about one of the most popular factions
• 17:02
  in in Star Trek. You weren't here on the show for it, but
• 17:06
  we did a news story I think last week from Terry Mettalis. We talked
• 17:10
  about the card season two and how they kept telling them it's too star Trek
• 17:15
  rewrite it. Yeah, yeah, a Star Trek series, is it?
• 17:19
  Yea to Star Trek. That's kind of the mentality. So that sucks.
• 17:25
  And our last news story comes to us from tech explore dot com, and
• 17:32
  this is kind of interesting. Some top computer scientists say that the future of
• 17:37
  artificial intelligence is similar to that of Star Trek. So yay by the headline,
• 17:41
  but actually boo when you read it. But they're saying, no,
• 17:47
  the borg and it'll be like a hive mind type thing. As computer intelligence
• 17:52
  continues to grow, it'll be more and more like a giant hive mind that
• 17:56
  will be harder to control. So neat uh So that's where we're headed.
• 18:02
  Yeah, it's getting scary, it really is. Have you seen the video
• 18:07
  that I forget which company made it, but they made a robot that's powered
• 18:12
  by chat, GPT or GP four I think they're up to now and you
• 18:18
  can interact with you. This is someone that's folding laundry and yeah, yeah,
• 18:25
  yeah, and it can do multiple tasks while it's talking to you.
• 18:27
  And and and you know what they did. They added what do they can't
• 18:33
  remember what they call them, but those words that you use in regular speech
• 18:38
  when you're pausing, like yeah, just adding to the speech pattern of these
• 18:45
  things, and they sound so much more intelligent and natural. Yeah, but
• 18:51
  adding a mistake to a to that is that a good I don't get it.
• 18:56
  It's like addie lens flairs, you know, seriously, I mean a
• 19:02
  lens flair is a is a is a visual like it's a mistake. It's
• 19:06
  a mistake. You know. Why would you add to a robot or an
• 19:11
  and writer? That's you're adding a mistake. I get it to make it
• 19:14
  more realistic. But all you're going to focus on are the the the ms,
• 19:19
  right, you know they probably have an algorithm do with everything. Fifteen
• 19:23
  year olds or something, right, Yeah, lens flair. Well, well,
• 19:29
  I mean there was an algorithm to make data's eyes blink at a natural
• 19:37
  system. What's that, the Fourier system. Yeah. I didn't want to
• 19:41
  Yeah, I didn't want to sound like a douche, So Daniel, I
• 19:45
  think that deserves the Oh yeah, I was already reaching for it. Okay,
• 19:48
  warning warning, NERD alert, NERD alert. Indeed. Indeed, Yeah,
• 19:57
  I love it, always here to take us over and kill us all
• 20:03
  yeah, take our jobs. That's fine, Yeah, that's fine, just
• 20:10
  whatever. You know, it's getting it's getting crazy though, because you look
• 20:18
  at all these different aspects of it, so that you know, they can
• 20:22
  create these photorealistic two dimensional images now just just with just with text based prompts.
• 20:33
  They can write, they can write based prompt well, yes, and
• 20:37
  they can make videos now, and you know soon they will be photorealistic.
• 20:45
  You won't be able to tell the difference. There's still there's still you know,
• 20:48
  things that you can you can pick them on. But I mean,
• 20:52
  how far are we from computer right? A write a story in the style
• 20:56
  of Sherlock Holmes, with a with the villain with the capability of defeating data
• 21:02
  right off my mind? Keeps going out. We talked about on the show
• 21:08
  before when we were talking about AI and writing, you know, like movie
• 21:12
  length or episode length things. You know, they're they're able to do short
• 21:15
  videos. Right now, we're less than ten years away from me saying,
• 21:22
  you know, hey, chat GB whatever. I want to see a forty
• 21:26
  two minute long episode that is a continuation of Star Trek p Space nine season
• 21:30
  seven. Yep, guy, and maybe I'll give it a couple of parameters.
• 21:34
  You know. I want to see Cisco like this. I don't want
• 21:37
  to see them like this. I want to see Major Care like this,
• 21:40
  not like this. I want to include these characters and not these characters.
• 21:44
  I spend like a minute and a half saying what I want to see,
• 21:47
  and then boom, it gives me, you know. And then the more
• 21:49
  you do that, the more it knows you. It starts making episodes stories
• 21:53
  based on what you know. So it's it's worse than that. Okay,
• 21:57
  computer, uh create a video podcast in the style of trek Cast circa twenty
• 22:06
  twenty four, reacting to the latest Ghostbusters movie that was released yesterday. Sure,
• 22:12
  and the computer will watch every episode of trek Cast and then recreate us.
• 22:22
  Oh, Yeah, it's except it's gonna it's gonna like see the two
• 22:26
  of you and then and then the bottom screen in the video podcast is gonna
• 22:30
  be some sort of algamation of like me and Chad and some sort of marriage
• 22:37
  of the two. It's like a Jed I had kid like oh SD,
• 22:40
  it's like a two vix. Don't worry, you're going right, You're going
• 22:42
  right out the airlock. It's the only way. It's sad. Dan,
• 22:47
  I just typed in your prompt that you just gave and I got the video
• 22:51
  there it is. That's the direct podcast reacting. So it's so lifelike.
• 22:59
  It's amazing. Yeah. I love the part where it throws turns at the
• 23:03
  list right. For those of you listening, you're gonna have to watch the
• 23:06
  show. Just see the you know trek cats. Oh boy. Yeah,
• 23:14
  all right, Well, did we have did we have a topic? Yeah,
• 23:18
  we should get to that. Let's go all right, So for our
• 23:29
  supplemental spotlight, we've got a review of the Ghostbusters Frozen Empire, just released
• 23:36
  this weekend. Yeah, what's uh, what is Ghostbusters? What is that?
• 23:41
  Very very very excited, Yeah, eighties franchise that is making a revival
• 23:48
  okay, basically ghost Excriminators. Is that the one with the gorilla. That's
• 23:53

• 24:00
  Ghostbuster. Yeah, okay, all right, sorry, I got you got?

• 24:14
  so I got a I got a cup at uh it's it's got Ghostbusters on
• 24:18
  the front with the main villain and the ecdomobile and then a little uh Ghostbusters
• 24:22
  emblem topper on the top. Yeah. So uh, Dan, do you
• 24:32
  want to summarize the movie? I want to summarize the movie. You know
• 24:36
  I have a great memory. All right. So this this movie picks up
• 24:42
  about three years after Ghostbusters. After life, the Spangler slash Gruberson, Gruberson
• 24:49
  family have moved to New York City. They're living in the Ghostbusters Firehouse.
• 24:53
  They are working as Ghostbusters. Winston and his company are the benefactors. They
• 25:04
  provide the funding, and the family busts the ghosts. Someone else gonna have
• 25:12
  to feel my voice my voice, yes, I could feel it already.
• 25:18
  The inspiration for this episode or this show movie was the original cartoon The Real
• 25:25
  Ghostbusters. So very much had that feel, at least in my mind.
• 25:29
  I wasn't a big real Ghostbusters stand but Dan is nodding, so I imagine
• 25:33
  he agrees. Yeah, you know. The the whole storyline is they basically
• 25:38
  accidentally unlock a horrific ghost demon thing that has been unleashed upon New York and
• 25:45
  plans to basically kill all the humans, and so it's up to the Ghostbusters,
• 25:49
  both are new and are original from the eighties, to band together to
• 25:55
  stop this threat. This film is currently sitting at eighty four percent Rotten Tomatoes,
• 26:00
  with an audience score well with the critics. So definitely it is the
• 26:06
  people's movie, which kind of is is good for Ghostbusters because they are the
• 26:11
  people's Yeah, they'refore the people that. Yeah. I don't think anybody ever
• 26:17
  accused Ghostbuster, any of the Ghostbusters movies of being critically acclaimed, right right,
• 26:22
  right, No, no, And I mean there's aspects of these movies
• 26:26
  that are just downright silly. Yeah. The villain at the end of the
• 26:30
  first one is a giant marshmallow man. A plot point from the second one
• 26:34
  is, hey, let's bring the statue of Liberty to life and walk it
• 26:37
  down Fifth Avenue. Right, you know, you know these aren't serious,
• 26:41
  these are series, not at all. I did I did notice one of
• 26:45
  the things. Uh, they made sure to reference Ghostbusters too. Yeah all
• 26:51
  the times. Yeah, a couple of times in this movie. And for
• 26:53
  people who don't know, the reason for that is there is a lot of
• 26:59
  discussion after After Life came out. People weren't sure if Ghostbusters two was canon
• 27:07
  or not because there's nothing there's nothing in Ghostbusters Afterlife that references Ghostbusters two,
• 27:17
  and it was kind of a sillier movie and it was less well received than
• 27:21
  the eighty four film. And there's actually things that don't match up in After
• 27:26
  Life don't match up with with Ghostbusters two. You know, Ecto one shouldn't
• 27:32
  be Ecdo one, it should be CTO one A. So was that a
• 27:37
  different car? Did they have multiple cars? I don't know. Yeah,
• 27:41
  I'm trying to think some of the other some of the other things that didn't
• 27:44
  quite match up there, they're slipping my mind right now. But they did.
• 27:48
  They did reference in this movie. They did show a news broadcast with
• 27:52
  the Statue of Liberty when they were in the laboratory. If you look in
• 27:56
  the background, they were experimenting with the line blower from Ye Ghostbusters too,
• 28:02
  so they made sure to they made sure to reference it. I would have
• 28:07
  liked to have seen the painting from the end of Ghostbusters too, absolutely,
• 28:12
  well, no, that doesn't exist anymore, the painting at the end of
• 28:15
  the Ghostbusters. With all the Ghostbusters. Yeah, there were a couple of
• 28:19
  scenes with Trevor and Slimer up in the attic. You know, it would
• 28:25
  have been great to just see this thing leaning there. Yeah, it's like
• 28:29
  it's not hanging anywhere, but we didn't throw it away. We still have
• 28:33
  it. That would have been great. Yeah. So this film was made.
• 28:37
  According to Wikipedia, was made with a one hundred million dollar budget.
• 28:40
  It is currently sitting at sixty one point six million box office internationally, so
• 28:47
  pretty good. You know, it's looking positive, on track to do well.
• 28:53
  Yeah, the movie was what did you think, guys think of it?
• 29:00
  I loved it, yea, My wifey it. I enjoyed it.
• 29:07
  It was a good mesh of the old and the new. You know.
• 29:11
  I was talking with my son on the ride home and I said, you
• 29:15
  know, there's a lot of Ghostbusters now. In the end scene, they
• 29:18
  were like, they're like ten people standing around jumping in to do this and
• 29:22
  realistically, that's if this was a real business, a real you know thing
• 29:29
  that happened. It's not. It's not four guys in a car. You
• 29:33
  know. In the very the very first movie, they were like, we
• 29:34
  need some help. We need to hire another guy, you know, the
• 29:38
  merchandise he writes alone. Yes, yeah, yes, they would need more
• 29:45
  than just Janine to handle all. Yeah, some of some of the stuff
• 29:51
  didn't quite make sense to me, like like when they say things like,
• 29:56
  oh, let's go see a guy, I know a guy or however,
• 29:59
  however was that they end up meeting with Venkman. He is the least scientific
• 30:07
  person. That why it didn't make sense that they met up with him to
• 30:11
  go evaluate this. What was his name, the fire the fire guy,
• 30:18
  the fire Master, you know, I mean he does have PhDs in psychology
• 30:25
  and parapsychology, so he's also a shyster. He is aster, but he's
• 30:30
  a doctor. Yeah, I guess, I don't know. I think of
• 30:37
  the same name, Like what valueses he had? I'm like, okay,
• 30:40
  he he is smart. He's just a goofball, right, yeah, I
• 30:45
  think it would be more realistic. It would have been more realistic to just
• 30:52
  a throwaway line something to the fact of, you know, Peter Peter never
• 30:57
  gave up his third of the company. Mm hmm. You know, Winston
• 31:02
  is the is the is the money behind the Ghostbusters. But it was originally
• 31:08
  a company started by three guys, and no matter how down on their luck
• 31:14
  they may have gotten over the years, Peter Peter never sold his third of
• 31:18
  the company. That's all you would need to have there. You know,
• 31:22
  Ray Ray is a total failure. His you know, his bookstore is a
• 31:26
  failure. He you know, he's he's got nothing. Winston basically supports him,
• 31:32
  but you know, Peter still has his third of the company. I
• 31:36
  think that would have been more realistic to get him into the movie and then
• 31:41
  let's go see Peter Venkman for some science stuff. Right. Yeah, I
• 31:47
  did like I did like that it was the same calendar from uh yeah first
• 31:52
  movie. Yeah yeah, yeah that I The more I think about the movie,
• 32:02
  the less I enjoyed it. Yeah. I definitely have some issues with
• 32:07
  it. Let's hear it, Okay. I think it was a very good
• 32:12
  first draft. I think had they worked a little bit more, had more
• 32:15
  time with it, I think they could have made something really special. So
• 32:20
  some of my issues are it's more structural in a script, like the main
• 32:27
  villain. Right. Typically in a movie, you want your villain to be
• 32:31
  built up throughout, the villain throughout the movie, and you want that threat
• 32:36
  to get more and more built up. Right. So, as an example,
• 32:40
  in Endgame, right Avengers Endgame, we start out with Thanos, he
• 32:45
  fights Kulk. We see that he's just a threat just on his own,
• 32:49
  right. Then he gets a couple of Infinity Stones. Now he's a bigger
• 32:52
  threat. Then it ends the movie with he has all the stones. He
• 32:55
  is a ginormous threat. Right. Whereas with this villain, it's it's trapped
• 33:00
  in the ball. It gets released, and they do make a point of
• 33:05
  mentioning that they took the horns off this thing and and once it got you
• 33:07
  know that weekend it and we were able to stop it. Well, then
• 33:10
  you know, once it's released, almost immediately it gets its horns back.
• 33:15
  I think you needed a fight with without the horns where you could see like,
• 33:20
  okay, the Ghostbusters have a chance against this thing. Right, Then
• 33:23
  it gets the horns and somehow like oh my god, now it's worse,
• 33:28
  right, and you see it somehow visually that it's stronger and way worse,
• 33:32
  you know, and if they could barely handle it, then how are they
• 33:36
  going to take that on now? So then yeah, I think it keep
• 33:43
  talking, keep yeah, yeah, it needed it needed stuff like that,
• 33:49
  right. I think bringing in the fire Master was an interesting concept. I
• 33:55
  think that that outfit needs a complete redesign, you know, but it's interesting.
• 34:02
  I do like the idea of different cultures having Ghostbuster type people, and
• 34:09
  I think that could have been a throw away line like yes, specifically in
• 34:13
  this culture, that's those people, but and like rattle off a few because
• 34:16
  then you could use that in other movies in the future. Right. We
• 34:20
  met up with the with the Japanese versions of what Ghostbusters used to be.
• 34:23
  Yah, we learned techniques from them, and that'll give you stuff to play
• 34:27
  with later, Right, things like that that they could have done that had
• 34:31
  they had more time with the script. I'm sure it would have been apparent,
• 34:36
  you know, if I'm just thinking about in Idaho, I'm sure they
• 34:37
  were sitting around writer's room thinking about these things. Right. But Dan's like,
• 34:44
  you're right, No, you are, You're right. Yeah, what
• 34:49
  did you what did you guys think about the return of Walter Peckton. He
• 34:55
  was the mayor, right, is that what they were insinuating? Okay,
• 34:59
  yeah, I mean he was there to be the bad guy, you know,
• 35:04
  Yeah, there he was there as a I mean that was an extended
• 35:07
  cameo. Yeah, basically what that was. And honestly, I don't know
• 35:15
  how else you could get him into that movie. He worked for what the
• 35:19
  Environmental Protection Agency Agency in nineteen eighty four, So even if that was his
• 35:23
  first day on the job in nineteen eighty four, he would have retired around
• 35:30
  two thousand and four, Yeah, two thousand and fourteen at the latest,
• 35:36
  you know, so he's not at the EPA anyway. But you know what
• 35:39
  do some government workers do after they conclude their government career. They go into
• 35:44
  politics. So I mean, I guess, yeah, yeah, I'm surprised
• 35:49
  we didn't get that get Yeah, I'm supposed we didn't get a Sigourney Weaver
• 35:53
  in there. You know. Yeah. I think she's I think she you
• 35:59
  know, she's a bigger star. Yeah, I think I think she gave
• 36:02
  them her cameo last time, and and that's you know, that's it.
• 36:08
  I was really hoping for Rick moranis Yeah, I was hoping he let us
• 36:14
  down again something I know he would be the credit. Yeah, I even
• 36:21
  like they didn't even show like even like U in the the I just had
• 36:29
  a blank when they're showing video of the previous films. Yeah, flashbacks,
• 36:34
  thank you? Okay, uh the flashbacks they didn't even show. You know
• 36:38
  that that would have been an opportunity unless that went a wit, you know,
• 36:42
  against like his wishes. I don't know, it would have been nice
• 36:45
  to see. I mean, if it sounds like they're going to keep making
• 36:47
  these movies, it sounds like they're they're setting this up to be an ongoing
• 36:52
  franchise. And if that's the case, they can bring him whenever he's ready,
• 36:55
  they can bring him in. I mean, the character is an accountant.
• 37:00
  Winston has a multimillion dollar corporation. At any point there you go,
• 37:05
  at any point, he could be reintroduced as the head of accounting or you
• 37:09
  know that weird guy who works in accounting, and for some reason Winston will
• 37:15
  let us fire him. They could What did you think about Egon Light that's
• 37:21
  running the research lab. The girl get his name, but yeah, the
• 37:29
  guy all the the guy English? Yeah, Yeah, he was okay,
• 37:35
  who looks kind of like Egon from the cartoon, right right, yea with
• 37:38
  the blonde hair. Blonde blonde hair. He's wearing the blue jumpsuit instead of
• 37:44
  the tan jumpsuit. Yeah, he got for the cartoon. The cartoon.
• 37:47
  Yeah, yeah, I mean it was a fun movie. You know.
• 37:52
  They had to find a reason to get the kids from Oklahoma or wherever they
• 37:59
  were, wherever there from to get them to New York. So, I
• 38:02
  mean, oh, I just remember contrived. But yeah, I just remember
• 38:07
  another thing that I was thinking about during the movie that they could have fixed.
• 38:10
  So, so, what's her name's ghost Friend? The ghost Melody,
• 38:16
  the ghost Friend. Let's discuss the ghost Friend? Go ahead, Yeah you
• 38:21
  first? You first, My thought was okay, So one of the things
• 38:25
  they mentioned with the ghost Friend is that she cannot pass over right for whatever
• 38:29
  reason, She's still tied to the earth and she wants to pass on to
• 38:32
  the next whatever. Yeah, I think they had it was all right there.
• 38:38
  They just needed to string it together where she mentions that she accidentally killed
• 38:44
  her family in the fire and they've all moved on. She wants to be
• 38:46
  with them, but she's tied. All she had to do is realize it's
• 38:50
  that guilt that's keeping her. And so when she finally does help the Ghostbusters
• 38:53
  at the end to defeat the villain, that could have been like what finally
• 38:59
  releases And you could have mentioned that, like the guilt was keeping her.
• 39:02
  She's finally overcome that something along line is like I couldn't protect my family,
• 39:07
  but I'm gonna help save yours. Yeah, and that's what releases her,
• 39:10
  and now she can move on and that her yeah, tied it together better.
• 39:15
  Yeah, So I have a thought on that character. So as I
• 39:24
  was watching their interactions, I thought for sure they were gonna turn this into
• 39:31
  a romantic relationship between her and Phoebe. And I was I was sitting there
• 39:37
  on the edge of my seat, kind of gritting my teeth a little bit,
• 39:40
  because this is supposed to be a family friendly movie and you know,
• 39:46
  once again, Hollywood is is gonna go all woke. And so I was
• 39:52
  pleasantly surprised when they did not go down that route. Yeah, However,
• 39:59
  that doesn't mean that they didn't film those scenes right, And this was a
• 40:06
  decision made in post production that we're not gonna we're not gonna go down this
• 40:09
  road. You know, we don't think it's a good idea or whatever.
• 40:13
  It was vague enough that you don't read it either way you want. Yeah,
• 40:16
  And a lot of times, a lot of times when they have to
• 40:22
  delete storylines in there, there's dialogue that goes along with it, right,
• 40:25
  So you know, it could be that there was more to the story with
• 40:32
  her and her guilt and and the things that you touched on. But when
• 40:37
  they took the romance storyline out of it, a lot of that stuff went
• 40:39
  with it, So you were definitely there. Yeah, Yeah, I do
• 40:45
  also think that like as a kid that age, you know whatever, that
• 40:50
  girl's age is, like sixteen, you do stupid things for your friends because
• 40:53
  your friends are like all that matter to you over your family, you know.
• 40:58
  So I think it's very much open to to read it however you want.
• 41:00
  And you're probably right. They probably did maybe shoot scenes that way,
• 41:05
  but who knows, maybe they cut it for whatever reason. But yeah,
• 41:09
  that's all I'm saying is that there there are the elements for a great film
• 41:15
  were there. I just don't think they had the time to finish it.
• 41:19
  You know. It's telling my sister, she was asking me about it,
• 41:22
  a big film like this. A lot of times it's really hard to delay
• 41:27
  because you've got the toys are made that all the other merchandise, seeing the
• 41:30
  fruit snacks with Ghostbusters on it, the betting everything right, it's a machine,
• 41:37
  right, so you don't have time to delay at six months, so
• 41:40
  you can retool the script. You know, this thing is on a it's
• 41:45
  a train, and we gotta we gotta get on the tracks. Although if
• 41:47
  they delayed it six months, it would be a Halloween film. I know,
• 41:52
  yeah, crazy, I would thinking the same thing. You're right,
• 41:54
  Why wouldn't they just I don't know, maybe just because the time, well
• 41:59
  they didn't and put it in the summer. Summer would have made sense,
• 42:01
  Yeah, to remind everybody. Why we you know, because everybody's like,
• 42:07
  it's cold out, it's in the in the in the film, it goes
• 42:10
  from summer frozen, you know. Yeah. Yeah, So I don't know.
• 42:15
  I don't know. They make they make weird decisions like that sometimes.
• 42:19
  If you watch Batman Returns, Batman Batman Returns is set during Christmas. Yes,
• 42:27
  and the movie came out in June of nineteen ninety two. Yes,
• 42:31
  I always I always found that weird. Yeah, I don't know, I
• 42:37
  don't know, so I can one thing that I noticed. You know,
• 42:44
  I have a I have a you guys know, I have a Proton pack
• 42:46
  that I bought from has Lab a few years ago. Apparently the production company
• 42:55
  was thinking ahead and just bought a bunch of those, because what I'm seeing
• 43:00
  in all the Ghostbuster Facebook groups I'm in is that those aren't props that they're
• 43:05
  walking around with. Those are off the shelf Hasbro has Lab packs that they
• 43:10
  have modified to make them screenworthy. Oh wow, So yeah, so I
• 43:17
  thought that was I thought that was cool that they thought, yeah, which
• 43:22
  I mean, it makes sense that has Lab pack is based on actual production
• 43:27
  model stuff that they use to make these movies. So you now have a
• 43:31
  mass produced version of your prop. You might as well go the other direction
• 43:38
  now and use that mass produced prop. I mean, the same thing happened
• 43:42
  in later episodes of Star Trek Enterprise. The phasers and communicators they were using
• 43:49
  were the toys that Art Asylum was putting out because they had made that.
• 43:52
  They had made them to such exacting detail that it made sense, right,
• 43:58
  Yeah, jazz business. And did you get the breath the brass one,
• 44:00
  which is the plot point in the movie, which well, it brings up
• 44:06
  something else for me too, and I'm trying to piece it together from my
• 44:10
  one viewing of the movie. So the original packs, right, and they
• 44:15
  have the original packs, and then Winston's company design redesigned the packs. Right
• 44:22
  now, they the redesigned packs are the ones that first went up against the
• 44:29
  Frozen Demon and didn't work. And then it was the old school packs that
• 44:32
  they had re built with brass parts that did kind of work. Do I
• 44:38
  have that right? I think so. Now My question has nothing to do
• 44:44
  with what I just said, But my question is what did you think of
• 44:46
  the redesigned packs that Winston's Company put out? Because I thought they looked way
• 44:52
  too close to the original I figured a redesigned pack would have looked they were
• 44:58
  a little bit more like more of that black finish. They were a little
• 45:02
  bit smaller. I think the packed a little bit smaller too, But I
• 45:05
  would have expected and I'm sure everybody would have hated the design no matter what
• 45:09
  that design would have been. But they looked like the original ones. The
• 45:14
  original ones are forty years old. Like the packs and the the pull,
• 45:21
  the actual guns themselves, they looked I couldn't really tell a difference they looked
• 45:25
  kind of the same. Well, the original were put together. He literally
• 45:30
  just threw them together using spare parts. I would have figured that the redesigned
• 45:35
  ones would have had like molded handles. And you know, well, I
• 45:38
  can tell you they are very similar because all of them. I'm in a
• 45:44
  Facebook group called uh has Lab Modters. Okay, it's for specifically for people
• 45:51
  who purchased the has Lab, the has Lab pack and wand and then they're
• 45:57
  modifying it for for whatever reason. And there are a lot of people who
• 46:00
  as soon as these trailers came out, they started taking stills and modifying their
• 46:06
  pack to look like to look like the new one. Yeah. So it's
• 46:09
  that close. They're they're that close to each other that you could take an
• 46:14
  old one, Yeah, slap some parts on it and paint this part,
• 46:17
  repaint that part. Uh. The bumper that goes across the back of the
• 46:22
  cyclotron the new one. They refer to it as the bikini bumper because it
• 46:25
  looks like a bikini. It's got three it's got three things instead of the
• 46:30
  two, and it's yellow. So, I mean, they are that close
• 46:35
  that you can I think it's funny they introduced that that arm cannon thing that
• 46:37
  the Janine had, which basically kind of breaks the idea of a proton pack
• 46:44
  because if she can shoot the beam with just a small little device on her
• 46:47
  wrist, there too having a whole backpack and you know, well, well
• 46:52
  here's the thing. The packs they can't shoot forever. They overheat and they
• 46:59
  have to and they have to cool off. So I'd imagine that that smaller
• 47:02
  one that she has can shoot a beam for an even shorter period of time,
• 47:07
  like thing like more like it's it's like a handgun as opposed to a
• 47:13
  rifle. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I also wonder if that was
• 47:16
  like a practical thing for a seventy some odd year old act oh for sure,
• 47:22
  who didn't want to wear you know, because to make those packs look
• 47:25
  realistic, they got to have a little bit of he to them. I
• 47:28
  would I would imagine the props are probably still pretty heavy. It's that it's
• 47:32
  it'll give us another thing to sell. It's it's all of it combined.
• 47:37
  That was my point. Another thing to sell, and that's a good point,
• 47:39
  is the redesigned packs. That's another reason why I'm surprised they didn't.
• 47:45
  You know that Winston's company didn't design them differently, same fundamental thing, a
• 47:52
  backpack with a hose that goes to a gun. Yeah, but a redesign
• 47:55
  to make them look more stylish so they don't look like they're from bare parts.
• 48:00
  Is you can sell the toys and the and the the new props and
• 48:04
  the new Yeah, I think you have to be careful with how much you
• 48:07
  change it. Okay, in that every iteration of the Enterprise that we've ever
• 48:15
  seen, it's a saucer, it's a neck, it's a primary hull,
• 48:21
  it's two pylons and two NA cells. That's it. That is always going
• 48:25
  to be the Starship Enterprise. There will never be anything that looks like the
• 48:30
  Defiant that is called the Enterprise. It always has to have that basic configuration.
• 48:37
  So I think they can update things, but they're gonna it's it's still
• 48:42
  got to resemble the old one. Yes, Scott, don't don't worry.
• 48:45
  If they get another movie, they're gonna redesign the backs again because they're gonna
• 48:50
  have all new product to sell again. I hope. So they're gonna,
• 48:53
  Yeah, Scott's just Scott's just trying to decide when am I gonna jump in?
• 48:58
  Which kind of pack trying to pack you do I want, right?
• 49:01
  I just I expected something that would that would come out of like maybe the
• 49:05
  Apple Store. You know. I figured it would be like a sleek LEDs
• 49:08
  you knows, because maybe they would make their own camera flares, you know.
• 49:15
  Yeah, I was just expecting something a complete redesign that didn't you know,
• 49:22
  or I know, I'm beating a dead horse. I just thought I
• 49:23
  was gonna see something different. Well, just say I love the old packs.
• 49:28
  Just so you know, some of these motors are are fully engaged in
• 49:32
  the process of converting one of those popcorn bucket traps into a drone that will
• 49:39
  actually fly. Of course, that is how nerdy some of these guys are.
• 49:44
  Yeah, that's great, that's great. That's why would be You know,
• 49:46
  when when the last movie came out, they were slapping them on r
• 49:52
  C cars and you know, driving them around comic con parking lots. So
• 49:55
  yeah, it's great, it's great. God, it is severely nerding out
• 50:01
  and it's awesome, which reminds me. We got a comic con coming up
• 50:06
  in April twelfth through the fourteenth. I'm hopefully going to be there all three
• 50:10
  days. So if you're in the Kalamazoo area. Hit me up on Facebook.
• 50:15
  Maybe we can do a meet up. Nice. Cool, Well,
• 50:21
  I'll have to check if I'm going to be in Kalamazoo that weekend. Yeah,
• 50:24
  I'm gonna check. It's only what a twelve hour drive something like that.
• 50:30
  Okay, that could do it a lot longer for me. Yeah,
• 50:36
  but yeah, so that was the movie. We should probably get feedback,
• 50:43
  Yeah, listener feedback? All right, So let me put the link in
• 50:53
  the Facebook group or in the in the chat so people can join us.
• 51:00
  Yeah, so let's see any feedback going. No, I don't have it.
• 51:06
  Do you guys get any feedback this week? I did not. I
• 51:09
  don't have a receptacle for feedback, so I might. I might have to
• 51:14
  work with that. I'm going to see if there's a right I'm going to
• 51:20
  see if track cast uh me centric related Gmail account that could be taken.
• 51:29
  Yeah. Yeah, I don't want to mention any of my ideas for one
• 51:34
  because I don't want, you know, thousands of dollars for one feedback.
• 51:39
  So here we go. There he is in the car, He's right next
• 51:45
  to me. This is amazing, right next to Dan right now. Yeah,
• 51:52
  I've been quiet this whole time. That's right, I've been not in
• 51:57
  my head and I uh huh uh huh. Yeah, he's in one of
• 52:00
  discussed discoveries, like ninety five different shuttle craft that they have there. You
• 52:04
  go, don't don't crash. The show is not that important. I'm not
• 52:08
  in Great Britain either, So I got the White drive in and it's kind
• 52:15
  of scary. Oh good, did you watch the is she is? She
• 52:22
  gonna say hello to the to the viewers, Hello, we're going to an
• 52:29
  earlier movie and she's like, I did not do my hair, don't put
• 52:31
  me on here. Nice? You guys need to go see Sleepless in Seattle.
• 52:40
  Okay, oh cool, you know we're we're reviewing that next week.
• 52:46
  Yeah, that next week. Yeah, it's the director nor e pron Uh.
• 52:52
  I guess we'll do a whole nor Fron movies. So there, there
• 52:57
  you go. Yeah, you've got mail and when Harry met Sally so mm
• 53:01
  hm oh right on, that's cool. That's cool. Yeah, So what
• 53:07
  do you think of Ghostbusters? I liked it, but my my complaint is
• 53:12
  too many characters. Yeah, you didn't have enough time to flesh out the
• 53:16
  protagonists or anything. Because you're you know, showing everybody that recently was in
• 53:23
  other movies, you know, because everybody wants to see what everybody's up to,
• 53:27
  you know. And if they could have made the movie a little bit
• 53:32
  longer, they probably could have done that, but being was it under two
• 53:37
  hours, just under? Yeah, yeah, you're right, half the characters
• 53:44
  could have not been there, and you wouldn't have. You did need to
• 53:47
  bring the friends from Oklahoma. Probably, you didn't need podcasts. You didn't
• 53:54
  need the older brother, you didn't need the older brother's romantic interest. You
• 54:00
  didn't because the mom didn't. Mom didn't do much, although she had kind
• 54:07
  of had to be there for the and I I liked I kind of liked
• 54:10
  where they were going with the whole. I don't know what my role as
• 54:15
  stepdad is. Yeah, I think they could have buttoned that up a little
• 54:20
  bit better instead of like her accidentally calling him dad and going, oh,
• 54:23
  I'm sorry, I men't I don't think it was I don't think it was
• 54:27
  an accident. And I think she desperately wants a dad. She's never had
• 54:32
  a dad, and she's never had a lot of purpose and then played it
• 54:38
  off like an accident. Yes, and a lot of families, uh,
• 54:45
  where there isn't a dad present. You know, the grandfather steps in a
• 54:51
  lot of times and raises his grandkids and he is the positive male role model.
• 54:55
  She didn't have that either, right, Yeah, you know, Egan
• 54:59
  is gone, her dad is gone. She has no positive male role model.
• 55:04
  And then here comes this Grubersen guy and hey, he's you know,
• 55:07
  he's a scientist like me. So yeah, I don't think that was an
• 55:12
  accident. Yeah, I kind of wish, you know, if you're gonna
• 55:15
  stick with the family, they should either stuck with the family more or added
• 55:21
  some of the other characters that I don't know. That's the thing was just
• 55:24
  too many and it was just hard to if you really wanted to. You
• 55:31
  could have broken this up into two movies in that you you end this first
• 55:37
  film where like the what was the name of the main bad guy? I
• 55:40
  forget gon or Well that's the thing. I thought the bad guy was cool
• 55:45
  and I thought Kummel John does own job. Yeah Frozen, Yeah, no,
• 55:50
  you could have so, so what you could have done is maybe this
• 55:52
  movie they take out one of its generals, right, but but you end
• 55:58
  the movie where it gets its lawrence. It's unleashed the ghost Army, you
• 56:02
  know, and all the ghost again. Yeah. Yeah, that's what that
• 56:09
  guy revioded, right. I would have liked if they just met a haunted
• 56:13
  house. But the haunted house is the Ghostbusters house. Yeah, okay,
• 56:16
  like they're moving back in there and they got to do something to containment unit
• 56:20
  because it's leaky. Yeah, just come back there and have to figure out
• 56:27
  building. The next movie, then you bring in those side characters that that
• 56:30
  you didn't really have time for, just kind of threw them in, but
• 56:32
  like basically we need to help, and then you call in those other guys.
• 56:37
  And then the next movie is they take on the Big Monster and its
• 56:40
  ghost. Yeah, and then and and Vin Diesel because when they all when
• 56:46
  they all grab the proton pack at the end and the ghost like a family,
• 56:51
  everybody gets their corona at the end of the movie as a barbecue.
• 56:54
  And then they go to Olive Garden and then they tune the Ecto one and
• 57:00
  put some types on it one yeah yeah, and the Eco one with with
• 57:09
  nitrous would be amazing. Yeah, it wouldn't be able to stop. But
• 57:13
  no, never, it's got like probably drum break all the way around.
• 57:17
  I know this is. I know this is sacrilege. I know there's there's
• 57:21
  gonna be some Ghostbuster nerds who are gonna hate me for this. Create Eco
• 57:28
  one what they need? They need new vehicle. Yeah, you know it's
• 57:31
  a sixty year old CAU. I love it though, I love it all.
• 57:36
  God, I want an ectopt cruiser. Yeah. I want like a
• 57:42
  modern like a modern s u V all tricked out. That's that's what I
• 57:45
  want. Yea cyber one. You know, the cyber truck. Is that
• 57:52
  what you said? Yeah, you need something kind of funky looking. That
• 57:55
  would really be I think the cyber truck would be great for uh if they
• 58:00
  read you back to the future. Oh yeah, you think Winston's character could
• 58:06
  have donated a vehicle to them. He has this whole nice center and everything,
• 58:10
  well he had he had Acto on, you know, he brought it
• 58:14
  to Maco Dodge super And I thought that part was kind of messy too,
• 58:29
  because you had, uh, you know, you're spending too much time with
• 58:35
  Winston's little place, and then you're you know, you gotta add screen time
• 58:39
  on that, and then you gotta add screen time on the family, and
• 58:43
  then screen time here, and you're under It was it two hours, and
• 58:49
  you don't have time to flesh out the antagonists and the protagonists because she's sidelined
• 58:55
  pretty much to the whole movie. Right there wasn't a main character like No,
• 59:00
  I wish I wish her and Ray, you know, because Ray,
• 59:05
  you know, dan Ackroyd's so crazy with Ghost right now, and you tell
• 59:08
  he was into the movie, super excited. I wish they would have focused
• 59:14
  on his character more because I don't know, he's so goofy, you know.
• 59:21
  And then maybe Phoebe. Yeah, it should have been a Ray and
• 59:24
  Phoebe movie, yes, yeah, and then you bring the other two in
• 59:28
  at the end. Because Bill Murray he just took a paycheck. He didn't
• 59:32
  care. Yeah yeah, Bill Murray just threw pencils at Kumel and was like,
• 59:38
  yeah, that's what I'm doing today. Yeah, so yeah, that
• 59:45
  could have been a c G I Bill Murray nobody. Yeah, honestly,
• 59:51
  again, I'm gonna get the hate. But they didn't need him, no,
• 59:55
  because he they didn't need him at all. No, if you're not
• 1:00:00
  going to show up and act like you care, you know, you're like,
• 1:00:05
  ah, I'm here. Whenever you're e mailed to trek cast TNDT Gmail
• 1:00:08
  dot Well, I love attention Dan in the subject line that's fine, Yeah,
• 1:00:15
  that's fine. Yeah, I enjoy I enjoy looking at these movies sometimes
• 1:00:21
  and applying lot and applying logic to certain things, and then chuckling to myself,
• 1:00:27
  like we know from the last movie that Egan stole Ecto one, all
• 1:00:30
  the packs, all the traps and moved to Oklahoma. Yeah, so now
• 1:00:37
  I'm just imagining Egon in Ecto one on this like old style Route sixty six
• 1:00:44
  road trip, you know, all the equipment. Yeah, here's Oklahoma for
• 1:00:47
  you, say, oh Oklahoma. You know. I was like, how
• 1:00:53
  are you gonna get all your friends to New York too and live there?
• 1:00:59
  Yeah? It was like everybody uproots from here and moves to New York because
• 1:01:02
  it's super cheap in New York City. Really. Yeah, it's like podcast.
• 1:01:12
  That that really confused me, because Podcast is a minor. He's just
• 1:01:15
  gonna be Yeah, he's a miner in the basement of Raise, a cult
• 1:01:19
  bookstore. That's yeah. When you were fourteen, if you went to your
• 1:01:23
  parents say hey, I'm gonna go live in this strange man's basement for the
• 1:01:27
  summer, really, she should have well, podcasts should have been invited over
• 1:01:34
  for the summer whatever. Yeah, you know, and that would have made
• 1:01:37
  more sense than him with three. Yeah, because he's a minor with an
• 1:01:43
  old man and it's kind of weird. So I was like, where are
• 1:01:47
  you living at? What are you doing? I have no idea, So
• 1:01:53
  it made more sense to have your friends come to New York and like,
• 1:01:57
  hey, I need you, you know, for backup, because they sideline
• 1:02:00
  in me because he won't let me work, and so they got to do
• 1:02:02
  the busting on their own because they're young. And that's when you get the
• 1:02:07
  older brother that could drive and do things, and you focus on the kid
• 1:02:10
  the research institute. Yeah, yeah, that didn't make any sense. Also
• 1:02:16
  the love interest of the older brother too. Yeah, I'm looking it up
• 1:02:22
  right now. Yeah, I think that's her name. Yeah, but uh
• 1:02:27
  yeah, Lucky, Like I didn't understand, well, you know, based
• 1:02:30
  on the conversation of the last movie you know where He says, where are
• 1:02:34
  you from? And she says, I don't know. He says, let's
• 1:02:37
  find out. Wait a minute, that was another franchise. Yeah, it
• 1:02:39
  just it was weird that she she was like, who are you? You're
• 1:02:44
  gonna work for? Me now, yeah, Winston, I did. I
• 1:02:49
  didn't understand the connection there, Yeah, yeah, yeah, No, it
• 1:02:52
  would have been better picking picking them up at at LaGuardia in the Ecto one.
• 1:02:57
  Yeah, because there because it's summer, it's supper and we're going we're
• 1:03:01
  going to New York City for the time. And they're there and they're like,
• 1:03:06
  wow, what did I was in the last movie? I'm here now?
• 1:03:12
  And that's it? Yeah, like inviting the kids for like an internship
• 1:03:16
  or something, or like what they really need. All they needed to do
• 1:03:22
  was have Ray Uh turn to Gruberson and say, see if podcasts can delay
• 1:03:30
  his return to Deep Space nine this mission, and that's all you need.
• 1:03:34
  That's all you need, all you would need. They need to wharf that
• 1:03:37
  ship. That's it. Yep. Yeah, yeah, well I could kind
• 1:03:46
  of see why you know, Ivan Rightman's son like didn't direct the movie because
• 1:03:52
  he probably saw the script and he's like, man, I can't think the
• 1:03:54
  script write it, but they probably go, yeah, they probably added so
• 1:04:01
  much crap in there that he couldn't finish it, so he's like other stuff
• 1:04:06
  to do. He was just like, all right, someone else can do
• 1:04:09
  this movie. Yeah. I was glad to see Obviously, I was glad
• 1:04:13
  to see Anni Potts. She's a national treasure. I loved her. Did
• 1:04:15
  you guys notice the other minor character that was in there that was in the
• 1:04:20
  very first movie. He was the manager at the library. Yeah, say
• 1:04:25
  that library was fantastic. I loved it. Well. I was hoping they'd
• 1:04:30
  call the mayor dicklus or whatever the guy's name is. So somebody said that
• 1:04:33
  somebody in the crowd yell, yeah, okay, which which Which is the
• 1:04:41
  most New York thing you can do? There's not enough? You see.
• 1:04:46
  Did you see the TikTok of the guy. He's walking down the street.
• 1:04:50
  He runs into uh let's who was the mayor, and he's like hey,
• 1:04:59
  hey, and the two of them were posing. He goes, hey,
• 1:05:01
  hey, thanks for sucking up the city, asshole. That's amazing. That's
• 1:05:12
  correct. This man has no dick. So what he yelled when he yelled
• 1:05:15
  at him, I was like, that is the most New York City thing
• 1:05:18
  you do. That's awesome, all right. It was like, well,
• 1:05:27
  we just ruined that day. We've got a mature rating now, it's fine.
• 1:05:36
  That was something I was gonna mention about the old Treck cast episodes.
• 1:05:40
  It's you guys pursed a lot back. Yeah, yeah, there were a
• 1:05:44
  lot of bombs, oh for sure. Oh my goodness. Right, all
• 1:05:51
  right, Jazz, there's anything else you want to bring up? That's it.
• 1:05:55
  I got to say this movie because I'm all right, good luck,
• 1:05:57
  alright, go go the bucket. Yes, it will be the Empire building,
• 1:06:09
  all right. I did ask the Facebook group one of the things you
• 1:06:14
  guys did back in the day was you guys were talking about your favorite Chad's
• 1:06:20
  and your favorite Dan's, and your favorite you know, daniels, and you
• 1:06:24
  guys talked about mostly for Chad was Hanging Chad. Everybody loved Hanging Chad.
• 1:06:30
  And your favorite Dan was Danny LaRusso Daniel, of course. So I asked,
• 1:06:34
  what's your favorite Scott? I got a couple of them here. Dan
• 1:06:40
  Lombardo uh gave a reference to Michael Scott from the Office, also Scott toilet
• 1:06:45
  paper, thank you, and then Tim Lamb uh gave back to the Future
• 1:06:51
  reference. The saying of Great Scott was one of his. So I like
• 1:06:57
  it. I like it. It's a good tram print right there, yep.
• 1:07:04
  So what do we have coming up in the near future. So next
• 1:07:12
