  Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, Welcome to the Larger and a Drunk the
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Lighter podcast, the podcast that's all about the geeky things
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: happening in the world around us and how very excited
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: we are about them. I'm aerial casting and with me
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: as always is like spoopy season, Jonathan strict light. When
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: it's cold and lonely in a deep dark night, I
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: can see paradise by the dashboard light that. I'm sorry
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: it's cold and lonely for you in the deep dark night, Jonathan. Yeah,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: it's spoopy season. Kind of goes with the territory. Just
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: you know, you gotta do what you can and let
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: mother nature do the rest. Are you still quoting meat Loaf? Yes?
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I am, Yes, that's still from I mean, apparently spend
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: the dashboard light as a song that's like eight minutes long.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: You can you can quote from it a lot? Yes,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: that I mean that is true. I I can't quote
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: from it a lot because though I've listened to it
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: a few times, I have retained little to none of it.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: But well, don't worry. Next karaoke night, I'll make sure
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: to treat you to a full rendition. Usually Lucas ends
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: up getting up there and singing the the leading female role.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: So Lucas and I just rock out a dashboard light.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to it, and I'm also looking forward
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: to the spoopy season. Thank you everybody for sticking with
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: us through our our few um uh scheduling I guess,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: uh hiccups as as Jonathan and I have been out
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: of town and and you know, it would not be
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: a Spooky l n C season if we weren't dealing
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: with technical issues. So this episode is coming out a
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: little late, a little early. I was lost at sea,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: you were because of Hurricane Ian, uh, and I was
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: out of town and I'm about to be out of
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: town too, So this episode was supposed to come out
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: last week when all of this news broke. Instead, it's
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: coming out a little bit late her. But like I said,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: whether you consider it a little late or a little early,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: it's glass half full because we'll be back on schedule
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: after this week. Yeah, at least until the next holiday
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: MUCKs things up again. I'm looking at you Thanksgiving. Uh. So,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: one thing we definitely wanted to touch on was that,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: you know, as part of Spooky season, we don't have
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: a mash up for this episode, we have way too
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: many news items to cover. In fact, we don't even
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: know if we're going to get through all of them,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: so we didn't do a mash up, but we do
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: hope to do some spooky mashups for the rest of
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the month if we can, because we both love Halloween season,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: although Ariel loves it from more of a distance than
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I do because she's got a lower threshold for the
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: spookies than I do. That's true. I like, I'm growing,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: I like suspense, and I'm learning to like some more
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: scary stuff through fictional podcasts or like I've recently watched
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: It and I've watched Cabin in the Woods, and both
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: of those are extremely scary, but I made it um.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: But the more slash of stuff is definitely not my
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: cup of tea. I don't like Halloween, I don't like
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Freddy Krueger Um and like so the first two scary
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: movies I ever watched in fifth grade were Nightmare on
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Elm Street and The Candy Man Um, which I was like, My,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: if you've listened to the show long enough, I'm sure
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I've told this story before, because this is how much
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: it's stuck with me. My parents said, we'd prefer you
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: not to, but because you asked, we're gonna let you.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: And I did, and I regretted it. And now I
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: can look back and and at least see the commentary,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: like the social commentary that Candyman was trying to do,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: and appreciate that, even if the movie genre doesn't sit
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: well with me. But like I don't like Nightmare in
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Elm Street, I like Stranger Things season four, which has
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: a lot to do with Nightmare on Elm Street. And
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I love Robert England. He is he has always been
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: very sweet to me whenever I've crossed his path at
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Dragon Con. But Collie, those movies they just my my
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: suspension of disbelief is too mighty. Yeah. Well, well, it's
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: also a very odd franchise because, like a lot of franchises,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: it starts one way, and then as you get into
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: later entries in the series, it starts to change. And
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: so like the very early Nightmare in Elm Streets were
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: more straight up horror, and then as you go on
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: there there's more and more humor inserted into them, to
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: the point where some people complain that Freddie turns into
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: kind of a cartoonish character. Um. I'm also not huge
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: on slasher movies simply because I don't find them very compelling. Uh.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I do like the original Halloween, where the fact that
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: you know next to nothing about the the shape Mike
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Michael Myers as he goes through and starts to kill people,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: uh plays a big part in the terror um and
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: in some sequent movies they try and explain more and more,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: which to me takes away the scary factor that works
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: so well in the first film. Uh. So, slasher films
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: in general, I think they're tough to do and pull
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: off in a way that's really intriguing. I like movies
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: where the the tension gets turned up and that you're
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: just waiting for that release and you don't know how
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: when it's gonna come, you don't know how it's going
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: to manifest. Those to me are the really effective ones.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: So like the horror movies I love are ones like
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: The Change Link, which I think I've talked about before,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: the first two thirds of The Change Link are a
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: brilliant ghost movie, and the last third goes way the
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: heck off, the rails Um, the the Witch, or the
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Vich if you prefer I like, I like, I like
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: that one a lot. I think that movie is astounding
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: in the way it deals with tension. So those are
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: the kind of movies that resonate with me the most.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: I like a good cheesy horror movie too. Like the
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: the movies I think of as a kid that kind
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: of introduced me into horror are things like The Gate,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: which was that that one was made for I would say,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: like tweens, like that was kind of the age group
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: they were kind of aiming at. Um. It was a
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Canadian film, as I recall, and it is. It's got
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: some really freaky imagery and it will never forget the
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: eyeball in the palm of the hand of one of
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: the characters. You have very creepy stuff, but really affective,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: but still kind of like kind of like Twilight Zone
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: level of horror. It doesn't get too intense, but it's
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: like it's really testing limits for like a teenager's boundaries
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: for that kind of thing. That was one that I
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: really loved. And then like Gremlins, which was really more
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: of a horror comedy I have seen. I have seen Grimlins.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I can handle that one, although I still get scared
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: by like Jurassic Park in Jaws, which are not classic
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: horror movies. No, Jaws is my favorite film of all time.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Jaws is like my number one favorite film of all time,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: but I mean part of it. So like I am
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: happy to do scary season mash ups, I might need
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: to cliff notes the movies instead of watching them, or
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: have you, as you have offered before, to write me
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: a synopsis that I can then telephone my synopsis off of.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Because in addition to just being a scaredy cat, I
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: could sleep paralysis. And so like that combination of thinking
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: things might actually happen with not being able to move
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: certain times at night is not a good combination. Yeah,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: So for those who have never experienced it or aren't
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: familiar with sleep paralysis, this is a phenomenon that happens
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: when your brain and your body are on two different
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: schedules when it comes to waking up, and like parts
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: of your brain are starting to become more aware, but
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: not the parts that are in charge of doing things
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: like making your limbs go all over the place and
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: move on your own accord. So you're laying there and
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: you have some level of alertness, but you're incapable of moving,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: and frequently sleep paralysis, not always, but it frequently can
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: be accompanied by hallucination. That's because it it usually edges
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: right up against your R. E. M sleep, which is
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: when you dream m hm. So have you experienced that.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Have you experienced the hallucination aspect of sleep paralysis. Yeah,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: the first time I realized what was going on, um, uh,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: it was it was as like a teenager adult. Um.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: A lot of times sleep paralysis, they say people don't
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: get it often. I get it not all the time,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: but I would say more often than i'd like. Um,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: it's not just a once or twice occurrence for me. Um.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: The first time I had it, I was like a
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: young adult teenager and I was laying in bed and
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: I heard a loud drum crash in an apartment where
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: there were no loud drums or anything that can make
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: a loud drum crash, and everybody was asleep, and uh,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: it was so vividly real. But there are times like
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: I will see things out of the corner of my eye. Um,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: the other night, I I've had like a run of
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: sleep paralysis just recently, where I'll hear like skittering or um,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: someone calling my name, and it's again probably just it
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: is certainly just like the tail end of maybe a
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: dream I'm having, but I'm also aware that I'm awake
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: and I can't or I think I'm awake and I
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: can't move, and it's just it's really uncomfortable. Nowadays, I
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: can usually say, oh, this is about a sleep paralysis,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: but still that inability to move and that inability just
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: to double check that that's what's happening is still very
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: um anxiety driving. Yeah. I've only experienced it really once,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: and it was when I was recovering from COVID, So
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: I was um. I was hanging out in the very
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: room i'm in now, my office. I was quarantining myself
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: from my dog and my wife to make sure I
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: didn't get either of them sick, and so I was
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: spending all my time in my office, which has a
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: bathroom attached to it. So it wasn't the worst thing
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: in the world for the clarification, well, because otherwise, you know,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: there's a corner I just don't go into anymore. Yeah. Uh,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: But there's also like a little futon in my office
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: that is one of the most uncomfortable pieces of furniture
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: I own. But it also had to had to serve
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: as my bed for that that like ten day period
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: where I was sick and there was one night where
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: I woke up and part of it is that you know,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: I wasn't in my normal bed, so that was playing
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: a part. Part of it was probably because I was sick,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: but I woke up unable to move and I had
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: the sensation that there was a presence in the room
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: with me, something looming just at the edge of sight,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: which is an interesting because a lot of sleep paralysis. Also,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: if you read up on historical accounts, this is where
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: you would sometimes hear it referred to as like a
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: night hag syndrome, where people would imagine a witch like
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: figure perched on top of their chest. Uh. This is
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: also where some people suggest the the concepts of succubus
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: and incubus came from um and they're more recently have
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: been suggestions that that sleep paralysis might play a part
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: in certain people's accounts of their experience of alien abduction.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: That kind of thing, that all of these could be
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: different manifestations of the same basic physical phenomena. It's just
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: that our experience is shaped based upon the time we
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: are in and the sort of things that we would
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: associate with not being able to do. Thankfully, I've never
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: experienced knock on wood, uh a witch hag sitting on
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: my chest sucking out my breath, although I have experienced,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: you know, shortness of breath from just anxiety and not
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: being able to move. It's always stuff peripheral. Um. Yeah,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: but yeah, it's really interesting because this is something that
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: feels very traumatic and like, other than lack of sleep,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: physically doesn't harm you at all, Like yeah, yeah, I
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: mean it could, like I assume, if you had other
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: underlying health conditions, it could be that kind of anxiety
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: could perhaps prompt something more serious, But on its own,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: it's more of a an inconvenience and anything else. And
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: it's something that can also convince you even if you
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: slept solidly all the way up to the point where
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: you had sleep paralysis, it could convince you that, oh man,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: I didn't get any sleeping last night. I feel so tired.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Kidding when you think you're like, I've been awake all night,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: but no, you've just constantly been in that state of
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: like half awake. Well, but thankfully, there are things you
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: can do if you have this issue and you weren't
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: sure what it was if you sleep on your side,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: you are less likely to get sleep proalysis. You can
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: still get it. I can attest to that, but it's
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: less likely. Yeah yeah, I uh, I don't ever want
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: to experience it again, and I hope that you don't either.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Arial that you you you are spared the experience and
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: just have nice RESTful sleep, just like our listeners. Our
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: listeners are going to have a nice RESTful sleep as
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: we go through news that they're already aware. Yes, so,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: uh we hope this Lelo buys you to come fee time,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: although the first story maybe not because a whole bunch
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: of people are really upset at the Super Mario trailer.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah, so I guess this is less news and
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: how do you feel about it? Right? So, so, in
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: case you didn't see it, which I think is pretty
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: low in the likelihood range, it's a teaser that starts
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: with King Bowser laying siege to a castle filled with
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: penguin like critters, who then proceed to throw snowballs ineffectively
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: at him. And then the second half, really, it's not
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: even half like the last bit of the teaser has
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Mario waking up in the Mushroom Kingdom. And we hear
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: a little bit of Chris Pratt's voice, and obviously, when
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: it was first announced that Chris Pratt was going to
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: provide the voice for Super Mario, that we were not
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: going to get like an over the top stereotypical Italian
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: American accent. As a result of that, there was a
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: lot of backlash. Uh, And partly I think because Chris Pratt,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: there's this perception that he was being cast in every
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: role in every movie, and so people were getting a
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: little tired of that, especially for like the animated stuff.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: UM My reaction was, I was never like super connected
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: to the Super Mario franchise. I never owned a Nintendo
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Entertainment system or Supernintendo. So for me, it was just
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: like I wasn't likely to have seen this before knowing
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: who was in it. I'm not likely to see it
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: knowing except for the fact that, like the supporting cast
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: has got incredible voice actors. Yeah, I guess that is
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: one of the dress I also did not I like,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: I like Mario and Super Mario and all that stuff. Um,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: I also didn't own a game system that I've got
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: so many of them now, but I would play, like
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: play Mario when I was with my friends or babysitting
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: or things like that, and there are a whole bunch
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: of people who are super into Mario laur and fan fiction.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: It's all over TikTok right now. Um, But I guess
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: the All Star cast is like the biggest adult draw
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: if you fall into the same camp as Jonathan and I.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's enough of a draw, though,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: I am not upset by Chris Pratt's voice. Look if
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Chipp and Dale consent sounds like Andy Sandberg and John mulaney,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: I don't care if Mario sounds like a regular dude. Yeah,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: I yeah, I feel pretty much the same way. I
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: will say, like the humor for the King Bowser segment
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: and the teaser was cute. I thought it was very cute,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: and it was the kind of thing that I found appealing.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: It's not the sort of thing I would ever go
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: to the movie theater to experience. I could totally wait
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: to watch it on streaming at some point. I mean,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: if I had a kid, i'd probably bring them, but yeah,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: just for myself, it's not movie theater uh worthy. At
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: this point, I will say I found it funny because
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: yesterday I saw an article where they're like, look, if
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: they could fix Sonic, they can fix fix Mario. And
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: apparently they don't think his booty's juicy enough. So I
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: guess Mario needs to do more squats down those down
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: those pipes. Talking about juicy booties. Our next news story
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: involves two guys known for their juicy booties. Uh. So,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: one of the news items that broke well while we
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: were gone, while while I was Lost at Sea actually
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: was that Ryan Reynolds did a cute little reveal video
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: about Deadpool three, talking about the challenges of creating Deadpool three,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: particularly within the realm of the m c U, because
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: of course, this is the first Deadpool movie to be
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: produced with disc the owning Fox Studios, so it changes things.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: And he makes a joke about not having any ideas
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: except for one, which is to ask Hugh Jackman to
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: come back as Wolverine, and Hugh Jackman's passing by in
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: the background. He says, sure, I'll do it, and it's
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: a cute little reveal. So that uh ended up sparking
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: a lot of crazy reactions from people who were overjoyed
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: for the most part to hear that Hugh Jackman was
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: coming back after having previously apparently retiring the role of
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Wolverine slash Logan in the two thousand seventeen movie Logan.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, people can be excited, I get that, but
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: do people really want X Men three to be in
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: the m c U. I mean it's weird because, like
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: because Wolverine, the character Wolverine has been in so many
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: different movies, spanning different versions of X Men, that there's
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: almost like a multiverse going on just in the films
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: that Wolverine has been in, right, I mean, heck, Deadpool
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: showed up in a Wolverine movie already. How was it
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: really Deadpool? Though? I mean it was Deadpool in Nane
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: It was played by Right and Red, but it was
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: a very different character, Like they took his mouth away literally,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: so he couldn't be the Deadpool that we know and love,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: and was very very different from the character of the
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Deadpool movies. So I'm sure that they'll have a ton
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: of fun with just that, like that alone would be
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: So I'm guessing there's going to be some multiverse shenanigans
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: going on here. Maybe not. Maybe they will refuse to
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: explain how it all worked out, which I honestly think
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: would also be really funny. Yeah, if they if they
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: don't explain it, they're going to joke about not explaining it,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: which is fine. Uh. I will say that I am
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: currently just because we don't have any information on Deadpool three.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Uh in three is usually where trilogies go off the rails.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: I am, well, I'm not super excited about Deadpool three.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: I absolutely love the meta odd couple verse that they've
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: created between Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. Um. Yeah, so
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: I'm excited to watch more of that as they start
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: advertising the movie. Yeah. To see that kind of chemistry
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: transition to a big on screen role would also be
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: a lot of fun. So I'm looking forward to it.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: I've I've enjoyed the Deadpool movies. I am very curious
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: to see what a Deadpool movie in the m c
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: U is going to look like. If if they're going
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: to smooth out those edges or is this is going
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: to be one of the outliers, Like I expect Blade
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: to be a bit of an outlier. Rimsey, you, I
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: would not be surprised for Deadpool to also be an outlier.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: I agree, although you know they did make a PG
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: thirteen Princess Bride version of Deadpools, so it is possible. Yeah. Well,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: our next story is something where we also are kind
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: of like a little a little confused about how this
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: is gonna play out, which is that the Agnes Coven
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: of Chaos series is still coming up. And we heard
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: that Emma Caulfield, who was in One Division, she played Dottie,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: the kind of the queen b woman of the neighborhood,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: sort of the perfectionist who judges everybody else. She shows
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: up in Agnes as well, apparently. Yeah, so now you
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: and the rest of the internet can go back to
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: your theories that she is really Mephisto. Yeah, I mean
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: why not, Like we spent a lot of time doing
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: that during One Division. Didn't pay off, But maybe this time,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Maybe this time, I am I really like the character
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: of agnes I until the very end of One Division
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: and then, like mc us chronic problem, the resolution was blacklist. Yeah.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: The big, the big battle. The big battles typically are
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: the least least memorable things for me, because they usually
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: end up devolving into a c g I fest where
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: it looks like it looks like the cut scene from
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: a video game. Um, and yeah, I agree. I think
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: everything leading up to that moment was great, and then
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: the moment itself was typical MCU, which is not that's bad,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: it's just not memorable, right, And um, yeah, and we're
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: very curious to see, like, what is an Agnes series
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: when you don't have Wanda because spoiler alert for those
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: who have not seen Doctor Strange too, she is indisposed
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: possibly dead. Yeah, And also, like Agnes in the comics,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: I know she had a bigger role, but a massive
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: part of her role was training Wandas. So I guess
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: maybe we'll get We know there's a multiverse of Wandas,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: maybe we'll get a different one, or maybe we'll get
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: the same one. It will turn out that she just
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: kind of took a little time out under eight tons
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: of rock to kind of, you know, regroup and rediscover herself. Yeah.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Maybe maybe, And maybe if we get fights will be
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: better because I do like the fights that were in
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Miss Marvel and I like the fights that have been
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: in She Hulk this far, so um, maybe they're getting
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: better looking forward to that resolution of She Hulk. Oh,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: I just caught up last night. I think we mentioned
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: when in our our previous attempt but failed attempt to
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: record this episode, which we did try and do last week.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Y'all it just didn't work out. Um, I think you
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: and I mentioned like the only issue we have is
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: come on, give Jen a win for goodness sakes. Yeah, well,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: she deserves a win. I agree. Also, exception of this
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: latest episode, I feel like the episodes are a little short.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: I feel like they end in the middle of an episode.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: They don't resolve super well, but they are aware. That's
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: all I say. I don't want to spoil or anything.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: They're aware of that. It's a choice they make. So yeah, well,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: moving on. The next bit we have is a story
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: we added specifically for this week, which is that we
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: got a release date for the next season of Doom
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Patrol as well as a ridiculous trailer for the season.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: This trailer for look Doom Patrol is ridiculous anyhow, Like
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: this trailer is the penaltimitude. That's a word. Now, if
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: it wasn't before of ridiculousness, I can tell you it
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: wasn't before it is now You're welcome English language, it is.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: This trailer is off the rails. Yeah, it's It's rare
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: when you get a trailer where you have it's hard
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: to describe what they are in a way that's not
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: disgusting lee awful. But I mean when you see a
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: bunch of essentially monsters singing a musical number from the
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: music Man, there's something special going. So we know what
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: are They talked about it in season three. They have
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: a name. I haven't seen season three. Well, then I
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: won't say that name for you, ah, but yes, it's
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: it's a monster that has come up a couple of
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: times in Doom Patrol and I feel like if they
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: overuse it, it will no longer be funny. But you know,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: maybe they haven't done it yet. They haven't done it yet. Yeah,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: but it's like the entire thing looks ridiculous. I'm very
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: much looking forward to it. We're going to get most
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: of Doom Patrol into what We're going to get some
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: do Patrol in December and the rest in January and
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: then like six more episodes later. So it sounds like
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: they're doing a split season. Yeah, I think. Uh. I
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: think it's great to see d C still support series
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: like Doom Patrol and Peacemaker, where you've got these um,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: these these characters that can have more humorous stories, they
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: still tend to have a pretty serious foundation, Like these
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: are characters who are typically undergoing some pretty tortuous personal
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: growth and personal loss, but you do have like these zany,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: weird humorous things worked into it, because that's something that's
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: sorely lacking everywhere else in the d C universe. I agree,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: it's really interesting because the first time I watched through
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Doom Patrol unlike, this show is ridiculous and funny, and
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: going through and watching it again with friends because many
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: of my friends don't have HBO Max, so we're doing
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: kind of like a watch party thing. Um, now that
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: we're getting to the lesser side of the pandemic, I
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: guess going back and watching it because I know where
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: the humor is. Like, Yeah, this the show deals with
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: a lot of trauma. It's got a really good balance
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: of humor and serious but there is a lot of
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: serious in there. Yeah, I agree. I think they do
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: a pretty good mix. Alright, so uh, on the lighter side,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: I guess maybe maybe this will also be a good
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: mix of humor in drama. Net As has released the
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: trailer for Slumberland, Uh, which is about a little girl
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: who wants to find her father and goes on adventures
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: through sleepy Time. Uh. It's based off of like an
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: very old French comic called Little Nemo, where they'll put
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: on different animal skins and turn into different characters, kind
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: of like Super Mario. Um. Actually, I just found this
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: out looking into it. There was a previous Little Nemo
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Adventures in Slumberland movie in Huh. Yeah, I hadn't seen
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: that one. The this one has some interesting casting in
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: it because you've got Jason Momoa a k a. Aquaman
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: who's posing as a pan like figure of chaos and fun,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: who is acting as sort of a guide for the
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: young girl who's on this quest to to seek out
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: her father. Yeah, the young girl is Nemo. Honestly, it
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: feels like the perfect casting choice for Jason Momoa. He's
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: at least the public face that he puts on a
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: lot of times is very fun and in a little chaotic.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, I think they're actually calling her Nema
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: in this version in the m A yeah, because Nemo
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: is actually the father. So in this case, Nemo had
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: previously gone on adventures in Slumberland. If I'm if I'm
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: interpreting the synopsis properly, and now he's gone and it's
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: his daughter Nema who's seeking him out. Um and uh yeah,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: we also get like Chris O'Dowd, isn't it he looks
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: that I love Chris O'Dowd. Yeah, yeah, definitely. I think
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: of him from the I T crowd, But he's been
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: in lots of stuff and um, yeah, I'm hopeful that
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: this will be kind of a fun family adventure film,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: almost like with little hints of Terry Gilliam's dial fantasy,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: like the kind of stuff you would see and say
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Baron Munchausen. Yeah, yeah, like Baron Munchausen meets bed knobs
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: and broomsticks. Yeah. Yeah, that's a good way of putting it. Yeah,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to it. I know, I said, like
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Super Mario, I probably wouldn't go to the theater unless
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: I had kids. Slumberland I will watch, but it's also
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: on Netflix, so it's a lot easier for me to
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: ingest Netflix. It was a little bit on a roll
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: with their child friendly trailers because they also released one
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: for Ony Thunder thunder God's Tail. Yeah. Yeah, this one
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: is a story that is clearly rooted in like Japanese
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: folklore and mythology. Uh, and it looks absolutely adorable. Like
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: you you see shots of the main character sitting in
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: a classroom with a bunch of other figures, some of
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: which seemed to be animal based. At least a couple
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: seem to be vegetable based, but they're all anthropomorphic, and
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know if any were mineral based. I don't know.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Maybe maybe Kurg's in there, Crog's in there, maybe he's
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: in there, but we don't know. But yeah, it's the
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: trailer looks really charming, and uh, there's a lot of humor,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: like gentle humor, I would say, woven into it. Yeah,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: it's it looks stop animation. I'm not sure if it
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: actually is, but it definitely looks it. Yeah. Yeah. Whether
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: it's computer generated to make it look that way or
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: it actually is stop motion animation, I'm not sure, but
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: it definitely has that look. Yeah, I'm actually I might
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: watch it. I honestly still don't know much about the story,
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: but um, I'm sure we'll get at least another trailer.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: If it's not already out, it might already be out,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, because it's been a long time
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: since we've tried to record this episode, so who knows it.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: It might have been out, been reviewed, got awards. We
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: don't know. It's been too long. It's been too long.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: We also got a trailer Reese Li for Velma, which
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: we knew was going to happen, and we knew that
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: they were going to we I think we talked about
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: it on a previous episode. Um, yeah, Velma being the
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: character from Scooby Doo. Yes, uh, and that they were
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: going to basically do like adjusted Scooby Gang maybe before
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: they were the Scooby Gang. It's got Fred and Velma
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: and Daphne and then Norville, which apparently is Shaggy's real name. Uh.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: And they they are the The trailer is overtly aware
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: about the changes they're making, and the entire trailer is
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: making fun of people who don't like changes in their
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: original source material in a very very aware way. Yeah,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: which I can like. Yeah, because this this Velma is brown.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah she sounds that's like the big joke. Yeah. And
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: then Norville is black. Um. And there's no Scooby in
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: this series, uh, which is like all of my friend's
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: biggest complaint is there's no Scooby. But it's not it's
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: called Scooby Doo, it's called Velma, so I'll allow it. Honestly.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: So it very much riffs on Scream, the original Scream,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: like the opening number, which was also very aware. Right, Um,
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: But I don't know if this new trailer, in trying
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: to do the same thing, is so overtly aware that
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: it's annoying or whether it's going to be a lot
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: of fun. I don't know. I mean, I'm getting those
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: Harley Quinn vibes, and I enjoy Harley Quinn, so yeah, yeah,
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: I also enjoy Harley Quinn. Um, I'll give it a shot.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: It's on HBO Max and I have HBO Max, so yeah,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: if you want to watch it, keep an eye out. Uh.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Going back to Netflix again, well like a boomerang. Uh.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: We also got a trailer for a new series called Blockbuster. Yeah.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: It's a sitcom and it's uh hilarious because it's it's
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: focusing on the final remaining block Buster video in the
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: United States. Randall Park plays a character who's the manager
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: of this blockbuster Melissa Fumero, isn't it She was in
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: Brooklyn nine nine. Um, and you know it's kind of
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: about this this character the Park plays who has a
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: genuine fondness for his workplace. It seems like he takes
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: pride in working at a Blockbuster, which is something that
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: all of his employees think is absolutely insane. Um. And yeah,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: I thought it was funny to see this. First of all,
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: I thought the trailer looked really charming. It has kind
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: of that same sort of goofy humor that Brooklyn nine
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: nine has, which is written by the people who did
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Brooklyn nine nine in Superstore. Yeah, so so you're getting
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: what you would expect. But I think it's funny because obviously,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: like in the narrative of Blockbuster Video, Netflix is often
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: pointed at as being the company that killed Blockbuster. Now,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: first of all, that's not really true Blockbuster killed Blockbuster.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: Blockbuster made some really dumb choices, for example, that chose
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: not to buy Netflix when they had the chance. But
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: but I think it's funny because in the context of
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: the sitcom, it's possible that Netflix will be pointed at
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: as the bad guy and it's on Netflix. Yeah. Yeah,
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: I was watching the trailer. I had some friends over
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: the house when I was and there's a moment where
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: one of the Blockbuster employees says I've always thought of
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: myself as a forty something at heart. She's obviously much
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: younger than and my friend who just overheard it was
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: very very confused. I said, I think she's just discussing
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: why she likes Blockbuster, even though she is technically too
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: young to like Blockbuster, and it also injured me to
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: my core. Yeah, I, um, I'll probably check this out
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: because I like I like the actors involved. The trailer
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: I thought had some funny little bits in it. I
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: think a lot of people are going to look at
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: this and maybe say like, oh, this isn't edgy or
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: anything like that, and I totally get it. Those are
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: legit criticisms. If you want your edgy comedy, this does
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: not look like it's going to scratch that itch. But
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: I'm my psyche is at a point where I kind
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: of need a soft, fluffy comedy. I agree. I agree,
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: there's enough edgy out there. I like stuff that just
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: genuinely feel good, and um, I'm very much looking forward
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: to it. Uh. Something else that Ariel is looking forward
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: to I know because I tried to strike it off
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: of our of our our show notes and she demanded
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: I keep it on. Is that the folks behind the
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Lyle Lile Crocodile film are now apparently working on a
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: movie musical adaptation of the classic computer game Oregon Trail. Yes, so,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: if you aren't wear Lelele Crocodile is a family movie
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: about a crocodile name Lyle. It's musical. It filmed in Atlanta.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: It just recently came out. Um. The team that is
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: working on it says that they like Organ Trail because
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: it's serious, Like it's serious subject matter, like the traveling
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: the Organ Trail was very dangerous, but they also think
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: it's funny because of all the ways you could die
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: in the video game. Yeah yeah, yeah, it was almost
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: you were almost guaranteed to die before you got there,
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: which was reflective of the actual experience, like a large
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: percentage of people who set out along the Oregon Trail
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: did not make it. Uh. And so one of the
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: if you've never played this computer game, especially like the
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: classic Apple to E version from back in the day, uh,
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: doing something as simple as trying to cross a river
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: could kill you. Like you could break your ankle, get
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: an infection and die. You could die of dysentery, you
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: could uh, you could die from starvation. There were lots
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: of ways to die, and it was all is mostly
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: about resource management and making good choices whenever you were
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: presented a choice. But the problem was you weren't always
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: sure which choice was the good one. I mean, sometimes
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: there aren't good choices, and that was reflective in the
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: game too. I actually have like an emulator for the
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: original game which you can get it could get it
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: target a couple of years ago. And I also have
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: the card game where you build the trail and if
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: you die, everybody gets to write your epitaph for you. Um.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: It's really it's really funny. Um. It is interesting because
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: I have seen so there's this internet group called Mega
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: six C four Um ye yep, I'm familiar with them.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: So if you watch like their series, it is definitely
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: not for everyone. It's very low budget and you can
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: have some pretty blue humor in it. But they did
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: a bunch of shorts where they would just kind of
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: go out and punk people in public, like acting out
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: video games. And one of the video games they acted
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: out was Oregan Trail and it's so funny because they
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: would just fall down dead in the middle of public
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: and like have these different different things like died of
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: snake Bite, died of boredom, died of and they like
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: Acted Out. It's very funny. Um, So if they do
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: something similar in this movie and they make it a musical,
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: it'll kind of be like a mix between Mega sixty
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: four and Cannibal the Musical. Wow, you just named two
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: different comedy groups, both known for their very crude humor.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: But this won't be crude. It'll be family friendly. So
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: everything I want in a rocket can I think. I think,
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: what's you know? Like, my first reaction to hearing turning
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: Oregon Trail into a movie musical is to be incredibly skeptical.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: But then I think, dude, one of your favorite comedies
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: is Clue, and that's based off a board game. So
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: it's brilliant. It is. It's one of the best. It's
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: one of the best, like forest comedies that I've ever seen. Yeah,
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, but legitimately, if they can take the humor
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: that I've seen of people re enacting the Oregan Trail
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: video game, makes it with music that is catchy and
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: make it not super crude, that's I'm all for it. Cool. Well,
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: something that not everyone's going to be all for because
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: there's some pretty tough age restrictions is being the next
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: James Bond. So if you want to be James Bond
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: and you don't happen to be British or thirty something,
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: I have bad news for you because, according to one
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: of the producers, the next James Bond is going to
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: be a thirty something James Bond. That also means that
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: certain favorites, like fan favorite UM Suggestions, are right out
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: because they're either too young or too old like Idris Elba, Sorry,
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: you're not in that thirty something category, or or the
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: same goes with UM. How say Daniel Radcliffe, but that's
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: not right the guy who plays Peter Parker spider Man,
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: Tom Holland. Tom Holland, Yeah, because he's too young. Yeah.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: I mean they have reasoning behind it. They want this
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: James Bond to be in it for the long run,
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: you know. They want to get I think at least
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: ten movies out of the actor, which I don't know
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: if the contract will require that or if that's just
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: a a stretch goal. I'm torn up that being thirty
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: something means Harry Styles can't do it. I mean I'm
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: more for it than Harry Styles but oh no, I'm like,
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: if I can see him spit on more celebrities at
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: public places, I'm all for it. Really, I can't tell
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: if you're joking or not over the of course I'm joking. Yeah,
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: I got I got upset when Harry Styles showed up
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: in the m c U. Yeah. Yeah, I have largely
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: not seen that. I've only seen like tertiary bits of
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: that drama. But yeah, you shouldn't spit on fellow actors.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: You just shouldn't do it. You shouldn't spit on people.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: That's not nice, don't. Yeah, but we're not talking about
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: spitting on people. We're talking about spitting on actors. Jonathan,
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: I will reach through this microphone and to to to
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: quote zero must tell actors aren't people? Have you ever
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: Readen with one? Um? You know, I wonder what is
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: Richard ao Aoti? Is he in his thirties. There's no
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: way you're gonna get him as James Bond? Are you
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: thinking of him as que brilliant? You could just do
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: both parts like they did in Parent Trapped. Um, I'm
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: pretty sure that that's more of a Johnny English. That's
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: like a Rowan Atkinson kind of thing. Um, now, I
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: think that's right out. I Uh, I don't really have
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: a I don't really have a dog in this fight,
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: so to speak, because I'm only I've only I've only
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: seen like maybe four or five James Bond films. They're
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: just not for me. That's I. I can appreciate the
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: filmmaking that goes into them and the coordination that's required
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: to create the stunts and all that kind of stuff.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: I just find it really hard to care about a
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: spy who was so bad at his job that he
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: introduces himself everywhere you go. I mean, I get that.
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: The old ones, like there's some nostalgia there. They also
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: really do not hold up. Um no, they don't know
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: as well, particularly if you're viewing them through the lens
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: of someone who you know, values women as human beings.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: The old ones do not hold up. And a diversity
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: of people as well, honestly, Um yeah, right, Bonds fault.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: That was the movie maker's fault. Well, yeah, because a
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: lot of the bad guys ended up being you had shot.
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: They could be an old white dude, or it could
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: be a person of color that was kind of could
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: be an old white dude playing a person of color.
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: That's also true also, Okay, um, but I mean I
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: really liked Casino Royale Um, which is one of the
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: newer ones, and then beyond that, I kind of I
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: fell off. If they can do something with the franchise
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: and make it fresh and new and fun, I'll watch more.
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: I I like spy thrillers, so uh, you know, I
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: really don't like spy thrillers. But that being said, like
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: I have watched say, the Mission Impossible series, and I
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: can really appreciate what those movies are doing, and I
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: actually find them entertaining when I'm watching. I just have
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: no desire to ever go back and watch them again.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: So that's just I think it's just not my thing.
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: So again, it's not it's not a commentary on the
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: quality of the movies so much as me recognizing that
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: this is not hitting enough switches in my brain for
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: it to really qualify as like I gotta see this,
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: so um, you know, hopefully whomever they get ends up
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: being a spectacular choice for the role. I've heard a
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: lot of interesting again, a lot of interesting uh proposals
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: from fans, including people of color and and women. Uh.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: As a potential James Bond and I don't know if
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: they're ever going to go that route, like if they're
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: ever going to take a step as far as a
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: doctor who did. But you know, we thought they were
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: in the last James Bond movie, but then she just
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: ended up being uh a bonus character essentially. Um, yeah, yeah,
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: to just hit that unlock Cooke. Yeah, but I think
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: I read somewhere, maybe it was just in a rumor blog,
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: that they were not going to make the next James
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: Bond a woman. Um, it would not shock me. I
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: would be in fact, I would be shocked if they did.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: I feel like that they're going to feel like that's
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: just a step too far that, you know, especially the
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: way that James Bond is typically portrayed as sort of
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: this unfeeling, womanizing kind of of character who ah, doesn't
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: let himself get emotionally close to anyone because whenever he
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: does do that, they ultimately die in the next movie.
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: So yeah, speaking of stereotypical, Stephen King's come out with
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: another story about a kid who goes to a fantastic land.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah it must be Tuesday. Oh yeah, it's um it's
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: called fairy Tale. And also you'll you'll never believe this
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: because this is really unusual for Stephen King too. It's
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: already been optioned and uh put into production to make
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: a film adaptation of this book. I mean, I do
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: actually find it a little interesting because in my brain
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: as someone who is coming to Stephen King newly, right, like,
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: Stephen King has been out since I was a child,
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: and I didn't read a lot of his stuff, and
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: I didn't watch most of the stuff. I didn't watch
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: Stand by Me until the beginning of the pandemic. This
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: is a great movie. Like, in my mind, they don't
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: make movies of his books until they are already a
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: giant hit. And I just heard about fairy Tale, so
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: in my brain it's not a giant hit yet. So
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: for it to already be optioned for a movie is
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: a little bit weird to me, even though I realized
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: that it's not weird to the rest of the world. Yeah, well,
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: and this is this is not your typical Stephen King
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: story either, right, This is not mm primarily a horror
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: story the way most of the stuff we think of
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: that Stephen King's written as being horror, right, like Stephen
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: King's written in other genres before too. It's not like
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: he's only written horror, but that's why he's primarily known
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: for um and this is not one of those. This
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: is more of a you know, potentially somewhat dark fantasy,
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: but a fantasy story. So that will make it interesting
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: as well, because I feel adaptations of Stephen King's work
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: in general is real hit or miss. Like the hits
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: are great hits, but man, they're the misses are no delay.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: Uh well, I have issues with the Dark Towers. I
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: love the first four books in the Dark Tower series,
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: and then I pretended to and then Stephen King got
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: hit by a van, and then he wrote himself in Look,
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: I understand I haven't read them, but I've heard enough
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: people go off about the end of the series to understand. Yeah,
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: I I probably wouldn't have worded it that way, but
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: it probably would have thought of it that way. Stephen
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: King got into a like he was walking through some
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: trails and he got hit by a van and got
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: very seriously injured. And that's absolutely horrible, and thankfully I
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: think he's largely recovered now. It was a while ago,
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: but he did after years and years ago. He did
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: after the fact right himself. Stephen King as a character
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: into the Dark Tower series, which yeah, like it gets
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: about as Mary Sue as you can get right to
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: write yourself into your own fiction. And I mean he
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: was already incorporating characters and and landscapes from his other
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: works into the Dark Tower series. It was kind of
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: this thought of a nexus. We're getting off of track here,
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: but yeah, you watch It's all about that nexus. Yeah.
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: So the books, the books went off the rails, but
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: the movie was, even for a movie, was a terrible adaptation,
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: which is unfortunate because, like I said, the beginning of
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: that series I really liked. Um. But there are other
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: adaptations like stand by Me, the Green Mile Shawshank Redemption
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: chapter one, it chapter one, not so much it chapter two. Yeah,
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: that's a good one. UM, the Tim Curry It's series,
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: which is not great but is really entertaining. I would say,
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: like like like the original fire Starter of the original
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: Carry to some degree, the original Christine. These are all
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: kind of fun adaptations. It was a great movie, but
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: it wasn't It wasn't fun, No, but it was a
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: great adaptation. UM The Shining. If you're if you're not
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: a it's Stephen King purist and you you have talked
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: about Stanley Kubrick's The Shining was a great movie. Stephen
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: King didn't like it because it was not a faithful
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: adaptation of his book. Yeah, well, and like I even
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: liked the first season of Castle Rock. The second season
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: really went into the misery storyline, which again less for me.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: But the first season was very like spooky, supernatural suspense ish,
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: very well done. Um the first season. So we'll we'll
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: look to see health fairy Tale measures up in the
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: great pantheon of Stephen King adaptations, and whether or not
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: it's going to be a Dream Catcher, which is about
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: as bad as you can get, or if it's gonna
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: be I don't know what would you consider to be
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: the best of the Steve stand by Me, okay, stand
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: by Me, which was called The Body when he wrote
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: the novel. And we are also getting another we talked,
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: we talked about it in previous episode. I think if
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: we didn't cut it, We're getting another Stephen King adaptation,
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: but as a TV show by the Russo Brothers of Talisman,
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: which he co wrote with another author, which is about
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: a kid with a bad family life who goes on fantastical,
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: scary adventures. So if you don't like one, maybe you'll
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: like the other. That's true. Yeah, you'll have options. Uh.
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: One of the next thing we want to talk about.
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: So we mentioned the teaser trailer for Bones and All
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: in a previous episode, but we got a longer trailer
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: and this is the Cannibal Love Story Road Movie with
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: Timothy Champagne Shallow Shamal Shamal a yeah him. So it's
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: interesting because yeah, I watched the beginning of this trailer
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: and I was like, Jonathan, why are you making me watch? This?
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: Is so scary? I like, it's cannibals. I don't like
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: cannibal stories. Um. And then I was like, is it zombies?
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: Is it candle? I don't know because it's but it
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: looks more interesting than it ought to be. Uh, it's
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: it's it's interesting because the teaser gave it more of
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: like a teenage angsty romance movie with really downplayed the
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: kid nable part, whereas the trailer really focuses on the
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: cannibal part. And it makes me sad because I think
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: they should have stuck with their original title, which was
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: What's Eating You? Was that really the original title? Of
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: course not. You can't believe anything I say are I
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: believe a lot of what you say. You're not a
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: big old liar liar pants on fire. Well, I usually
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: don't admit it, but you called me out on microphone,
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: so um no. But yeah, this trailer, I can't figure
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: out if I'm interested in this movie or not. I
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: feel like it's geared towards a different age group than
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: on what I'm currently in. Um Like, I'm not young
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: enough to really resonate with it, but it is an
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: interesting premise it is. I would be more interested if
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: if I would be more interested in it if it
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: were a zombie story as opposed to a cannibal story,
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: because I feel like there's someone call me on this
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: if I'm wrong. But I feel like one is a
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: choice in another is largely something that happens to you. Well,
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: I think in the movie, based upon the trailer, it
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: seems like the people who are cannibals really don't have
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: any Like it's not like they've made and they haven't
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: made a choice. It's just it's literally how they are,
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: Like they can smell other cannibals, which is what maybe
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: what if it was like a supernatural zombiesque type of thing.
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: I think they're just kind of avoiding explaining the mechanics
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: behind it. They just exist, kind of like how in
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: Highlander you've got the quickening. It's just a thing that happens,
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: it doesn't You don't really have an explanation for it
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: until you get to later movies. That totally ruined the franchise.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know. Like I feel like if
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: you want a movie or a book, because the movie
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: I'm about to reference is based off a book. In
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: the book is fantastic. If you want a book where
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: it's set in a world where there's this sort of
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: cannibal zombie issue there and it makes you think differently
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: about the whole thing, I recommend The Girl with All
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: the Gifts. Uh, phenomenal book. I actually haven't seen the
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: film adaptation, but the book is great and so very
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: quickly I've heard good things about that, so that's yeah,
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: definitely have to look at that one. I don't know
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: if I'm gonna watch Bones at all, it might be
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: too scary. Something that I know Ariel is not going
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: to look at is Cabinet of Curiosities, the Guillermo del
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: Toro series, where you have different people coming together to
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: tell spooky stories, some of which look like they're going
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: to be quite graphic in nature as far as gore
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: and violence. Yeah, so that's the thing. I I like
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: Twilight Zone. I even like some Guiermo del Toro, Like
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: I love Pam's Labyrinth, right, I liked Shape of Water
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: was also him, So like, there's certainly some he's good
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: at storytelling and he's good. It's scary in a way
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: that I think is thought provoking. But um, yeah, it
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: looks like it might be a little much for me.
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: I like like the casting. It's another all star cast.
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: There's definitely like some people are like, oh, they got
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: that person for this show. And it looks like some
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: interesting stories, but it does like a little too close
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: to like scary stories you tell in the dark. Um
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: it's it's there's at least one that's a direct adaptation
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: of an HP Lovecraft short story called Pickman's Model. Uh
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: so that that one is like they and people have
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: been talking about del Toro being involved with a love
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: crafty and stuff for ages because del Toro is is
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: a huge Lovecraft fanboy. When it comes to those kinds
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: of monsters, he really loves those. But you can tell
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: if you watch any of his stuff. You can see
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: Lovecraft's influence. So I think it looks like it's incredibly
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: well produced. U and I am eager to see it,
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: and uh write up a synopsis for areas and it's
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: an anthology. What you can do is you can tell
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: me the episodes that are less gory and those are
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: the ones that will watch or less um viscerally upsetting. Um. Yeah,
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: I will do my best, because yeah, I think I
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: got a good handle on where your threshold is. But
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: I'll try and I'll try not to be I'll try
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: not to air too far in either direction. I do
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: appreciate things like Cabinet of Curiosities and what we've heard.
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: House of Usher will be as well, where you can
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: take some scary stuff. And because it's anthology, I can
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: still dabble in it. You know. I can pick stuff
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: that maybe I think will be for me without watching
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: the entire series and feel like I'm missing out. So
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: hopefully something else that I I mean, I don't know
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: if I'll watch this, um, because I don't know if
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: I will think it's worth watching. But is the Five
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: Nights at Freddie's film adaptation, which is thought to probably
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: come out sometime next year. We now know that that
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: Emma Hammy is directing this UM. She's directed some episodes
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: of Into the Dark UM and a couple of other
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: things as well. She's also been a producer on various series.
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: But yeah, it's interesting for her to take on this part,
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: which is a you know, if you're not familiar with
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: Five Nights at Freddie's, it's a it's a computer game series,
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: very kind of low fi computer game series, where you
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: take on the part of typically you're an employee of
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: this show biz pizza slash Chuck e Cheese kind of place,
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: and it's your job to make sure that the the
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: animatronic figures don't run around in rampage because it turns
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: out they like to eat people. Uh, so you use
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: these various game mechanic things to keep an eye on
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: what's going on and prevent them from getting you. Essentially
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: is what it turns into. And uh, you might say, ha,
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: that sounds like that Nicolas Cage movie that came out
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: not too long ago. Yeah, where he didn't talk at all. Uh,
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: And you'd be right. That was very much obviously inspired
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: by the Five Nights at Freddie's games. It was not
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: officially a Five Nights at Freddie's adaptation, but there's no
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: way it wasn't influenced by that also terrible movie, don't
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: watch it. I was about to ask if you watched it,
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: but I I remember you talked about, like, if you
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: want to watch a Nick Cage movie, watch Mandy, which
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: is very scary and gory from what I understand. Oh yeah, no, Mandy.
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: Mandy is like ridiculously violent. It's got a lot of
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: uh like hallucinogenic kind of imagery in it, because there's
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: there's a whole storyline about hallucinating um. But it's Mandy
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: is like a work of art, and the Wonderland film
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: or whatever it was was absolute garbage. Now I'm I'm
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: surprised that you aren't interested in this Five Night at
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: Freddie's adaptation because Jim Henson's creature shop is working on it.
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: That okay, Yeah, that part does have me interested in
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: the creature work, right, Like I want to see what
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: they create because I know it'll be spectacular. But that
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean the like again, I shouldn't be so dismissive.
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: Clue Again was a movie based off a board game
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: that has next to no story whatsoever. I should not
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: be so dismissive about an adaptation of a computer game series.
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: It's just that, like, while I know there's some lore
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: at the Five Nights of Fredday's franchise, the actual games
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: have very there's not much of a story to them
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: at all. And maybe that's what's got me. I feel
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: like the latest video because again or the latest game
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: which came out the last couple of years, it was
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: again huge on TikTok when it came out, has a
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: little bit more of a storyline, But I've never played
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: them because it's all it's all about the jump shop scare,
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: and that's not for me a video. Yeah, yeah, really,
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: that's what it's all about, is like you're focusing really
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: care fully on the game and then you get a
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: jump scare, which just makes it more effective because you
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: were you were focusing so hard when the thing jumps
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: out at you that it scares the heck out of you.
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: If I'm going to play a game with jump scares,
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: I'm just going to go back to the old classic
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: Eternal Darkness. That's a good game. Um Is that the
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: one that messes with you by telling you that things
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: like your volume on your TV is like you'll have
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: a bug crawling across your screen, but it looks like
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: a real bug crawling across your screen, or like it'll
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: be like reboot and it hasn't actually rebooty, but it
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: looks like it rebooted your entire system, right right. That
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: was for the one of the Nintendo systems. That was
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: a brilliant game. Yeah, because it messed with you. It
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: messed with your character in games, so there are definitely
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: things you had to deal with in game, and then
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: it messed with you as a player out of game.
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: At Halloween time, back before all of my friends had kids,
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: we used to all gather at somebody's house, drink pink drinks,
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: eat pizza, and watch somebody play through Eternal Darkness. Oh gosh,
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: man Young an insight into the party girl history of
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: one Aerial Casting. There is one. We couldn't find it,
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: so we like searched through every single game stop to
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: find a used version of it so that we could
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: play it last minute. I can't tell you how many
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: times the cops were called out on Aerial for having
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: a party that was so out of control that that
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: is me Aerial extrovert. Party Girl casting Yeah, let's get
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: some pink drinks, pizza and play some outdated Nintendo titles.
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't know if it was Nintendo. It
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: might have been, it doesn't matter. I think it had
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: to be I think Eternal. I think it only came
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: out for the like GameCube or something, but I might
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: be it might be GameCube, right, that might be my confusion. Um, Okay,
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: we have one last trial and we want to talk
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: about because this episode is going a little bit long,
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: not too long, but a little bit long. Uh. And
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: that is there's a Christmas shoot him up movie coming
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: out called Violent Night. I find. We're gonna go into
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: what it is, but I just need to preface this
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: with I find it I'm using in my own psyche
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: because the trailer for this movie looks like so much fun,
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: while the last season's shoot him up Santa movie Fat
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: Man absolutely did not appeal to me at all. Yeah,
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: this one was giving me flashbacks to the fake uh
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: movie within a movie and scrooged. I think it was
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: the Night the Reindeer Died or something like that. I
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: think that's what they called it. But yeah, it's it's
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: applying a lot of like action movie type stuff to
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: this to this holiday thing with David Harbor, friend of
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: the show, David Harbor playing Santa Claus. If you speak
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: it, it it will happen. I have met him twice, so
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna call it nice rocking David Harbor, friend of
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: the show. Yeah, it feels to me like die Hard,
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: which is a great Christmas movie. Shut up, Jonathan's listen.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: It's for the purpose of this, this explanation. I know
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: you don't think it's a You don't have to shut up.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: I know you don't think Diehards a Christmas movie. We've
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: thought about it before. Um, it's like die Hard meets
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: Home Alone meets Last Action Hero meets the Santa Claus,
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: Santa Claus. Yeah, like I think this movie, I think
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: what it is is in the trailer there's a young
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: girl who kind of is like Santa's sidekick by accident.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: And because this young girl is rooting for Santa, even
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: though Santa is just blowing up bad guys, it cuts
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: some of the edge of just being a malicious shoot
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: him up movie. There's also I think there's also a
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: touch of bad Santa in there too, right, because you've
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: got David Harbor Santa Claus is clearly burned out on
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: being Santa, Like there's there's The opening of the trailer
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: has them sitting at a bar, drinking like whiskey and
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: talking about starting the whole Santa thing and and uh
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: because he's yeah, he's saying things that are true, but
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: other people are just taking as jokes, like being funny
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: jokes because he's dressed as Santa. Um and that it
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: feels very bad Santa. Not nearly as crude as Bad Santa,
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: but kind of kind of that same sort of of
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: of slant to it, I think. And uh, yeah, I
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: thought the trailer looked crazy. I love David Harbor's work.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: I think he's I think he's a incredibly entertaining actor,
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: so I am. I am down with this. And he's
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: got a lot of experience melding action, um, like high
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: energy action with comedy. If you look at hell Boy,
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: if you look at Stranger Things. So yeah, I think
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: I think it's perfect casting. Um. He's also really good
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: with kids, so I think, like perfect person to play
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: a badass Santa. Um. Yeah, yeah, I can't wait to
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: see that one. That one is is way up on
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: my list of films like there are a couple of
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: movies that are coming out where I might venture out
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: to the theater like I've only done that once since
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: the Pandemic, and that was for a movie that really
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: I don't in retrospect, I don't think I needed to
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: go see in the theater um which was whatever that
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: one was with the house with the secret basement thing,
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: and now I can't even remember what the title of
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: the movie is. That's how nable it was. Barbarian, that
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: was it. UM. I was very disappointed in Barbarian. Uh.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: I thought, I thought that performances were great, but otherwise
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: it was disappointed in that movie. The two that I'm
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: looking at being released within the next few months that
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: I really think I'll go and see Wakonda forever. I
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: can't imagine not going to see it because it just
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: looks like it's going to be a very powerful experience. UM.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: And then Violent Night being another one I think I'll
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: have to watch. I'll have to get a group of
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: friends to go to Violent Night. I have been to
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: the theater a few times, sometimes it's not of it.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: I saw Multiverse of Madness and thor Love and Thunder
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: at the theater Um and I also saw Bullet Train,
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: but all of those we waited until it had been
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: out a little bit, and then we picked a showing
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: in a theater at a time when there was nobody there, so,
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: you know, and we didn't talk about Bullet Train. But
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: that's a movie that's got a whole lot of controversy
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: around it because it's based off of Japanese storyline, and
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: there were a lot of accusations about the film whitewashing
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: or otherwise removing Japanese actors from consideration for that movie.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: I hadn't heard about that. That's really sad, because it
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: was a very entertaining movie. I was about to ask
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: if you what you thought, because like the I saw,
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: the reviews were pretty middling. But I have not seen
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: the movie before knowing this before knowing this drum but
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: this controversy, um, because I saw it not knowing UM.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: I thought it was a ton of fun. I thought
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: it was a lot of fun. They're definitely Lee was
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: a wide range of casting, and there there were a
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: couple of of Asian actors in it, but the majority
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: of the cast was an Asian unless like the majority
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: of the main characters weren't Asian. I would say they
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: kind of came from all over. Um in the story,
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: it made sense. So it wasn't like in Rema Williams
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: where they cast Joel Gray as an Asian man. Um.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but yeah, so they had a Russian but
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: had a Russian person. Bad Bunny played a Latino character,
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: Zazi played a German. Yeah. Yeah, there are a couple
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: of people who played Russian. There are a couple of
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: people who were British. Um, there are a couple of
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: people who are American. Um. I would not have known
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: if you hadn't told me, because I thought it was
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: a very fun movie. I didn't know anything about until
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: I literally came across a clip today. I think, actually,
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: maybe it was last night where I came across the
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: clip from the Movi V and didn't I was like,
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: I hadn't even heard of this, because of course I'm
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: completely out of the loop. I don't get commercials anymore,
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: so I don't see when things are coming out unless
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: I'm doing research for the show. And um, I thought, oh,
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: this is kind of an interesting thing, and it immediately
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: made me think of the film Smoke and Aces, which
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: should have been way more entertaining than what it was.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: That movie is not good, y'all, but it is about
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: a bunch of assassins all descending to try and take
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: out the same target at the same time. So it's
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: kind of like it has some similarities to Bullet Train.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: Not exactly the same thing, but it means that you
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: have a bunch of scenes where you have assassins trying
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: to take each other out, which is similar to Bullet
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: Train and U. But yeah, Smoke and Aces can't recommend
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: it um, apart from there's one sequence in a hotel
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: room that's both uh gross and hilarious. Good to know.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: I don't like gross, so I'll probably forego the hilarious too.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's I'll tell you about it off off Mike. Okay, Well,
• 1:07:08

• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: obviously was new. And the Netflix, the Blockbuster trailer for Netflix,
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: Netflix trailer for Blockbuster, that thing, the the thing about
