0:14
the timing of how we do the podcast now that the three of us are in I was going
0:19
to say we're all in different hemispheres we're not let that be
0:23
clear but uh we are in different hemispheres than we always used to be
0:28
yes uh and I jumped in the shower about 5 minutes ago thinking I had nothing
0:32
else to do tonight uh suddenly remembered and uh jumped out just in
0:37
time to get on the air with you guys but um your pants comment is redundant

1:43
urethra multiple nerdgasm your guide to
1:48
All Things
1:54
nerdy there you go feel
1:57
better thank you for listening well I'm in America how about you guys I
2:04
I'm still just in Australia I'm still just in Singapore but um yeah America M
2:11
the United States thereof drinking some coffee that came from a little uh you
2:16
one of those coffee filter machines oh yeah have they handed you your gun yet
2:22
no not yet been there a day and what did I tell you I had one request of you buy
2:28
a gun on your first day there it is your right as an American I don't know if I'm
2:32
allowed to just yet I'm not technically American I don't think allowed to comes into it
2:38
Matt I got to say this was the easiest immigration experience I've had here
2:44
like normally you know you'll line up and they ask you a bunch of questions
2:47
and all that kind of stuff I think all that all those questions were answered
2:51
by whatever was in that top secret envelope that I had to give
2:55
them right they sent out they sent me an envelope that had a bunch of paperwork
2:59
in it and they they said don't open it um hand it to the guy you get there and
3:04
I got I cuz I didn't know which line to get in for my specific visa and so I
3:08
asked somebody and they said oh just come with me he took me straight up to a
3:10
desk handed the guy the thing he opened it and he went all right have fun
3:15
huh prev vetted kind of yeah which is annoying it was actually annoying because they told
3:21
me to allow hours for them to process
3:25
everything um so we did and then we just waited for hours for the next flight 6
3:31
hours actually oh yeah but if you hadn't have played for that I know I know
3:36
something would have gone wrong of course yeah I'm here now it's warm oh
3:41
it's warm is it yeah it's some all right
3:47
sorry well it's some of here it's warmer than it I assume it's cold there in cber
3:50
L wait so you moved all the way to America and it's it's hotter there than
3:56
Australia you must be so annoyed it it is but it's going to be like this for a
4:02
much shorter period and then it's going to be freezing a lot colder for you yes
4:06
cuz it's going to snow where you live is oh yeah oh yeah yeah it gets into the
4:10
negatives well that's one negative not for me I like it so I'm not
4:15
in a whole new country but it's as if my country is a whole new place now because
4:20
something happened this week that changed everything I have an idea what it is
4:26
Suicide Squad well we'll get to that no gentlemen I'm talking about the fact
4:32
that Pokemon go is now live in Asia yeah as of this weekend so I'm officially
4:38
calling [ __ ] on all of those stories were reported on in the past where
4:42
people like in Korea were going into the DMZ and catching Pokemon [ __ ] they
4:47
didn't have Pokemon yet they do now we
4:49
all do it's it's [ __ ] nuts yeah I've
4:54
actually stopped playing have you yeah the thing is Luke I mean I remember your
4:59
comment about when does it start being fun and I I
5:03
will say the game itself it's not it's not that fun there's not a lot to it
5:08
game but the fun is the fact that for some reason my Saturday night this week
5:14
entailed walking around my [ __ ] neighborhood for 3 hours right looking
5:19
for these Pokémon bumping into other people coming out of whole crowds of
5:23
people huddled around street corners G have you found it yet there's a squirel
5:28
here yeah yeah we've got uh there's two very um popular areas for hunting
5:34
Pokemon around here in Rhode irand uh East Greenwich uh the main
5:40
street of East Greenwich I I don't know if it's popular we we like it there's a
5:43
lot of Poké stops uh and there's you know a lot of good cafes and things so
5:47
that's a good area and then there's Oakland Beach which is kind of a Beach
5:51
area with a very famous seafood restaurant and uh some delicious food
5:56
and a lot of Pokémon at the beach I was uh in my local
6:00
Telecom provider today uh updating my plan and I was sitting at his desk and I
6:06
had to say to him like mate do you play Pokémon go he said no I haven't haven't
6:10
got it yet I'm like mate you should download it because they are all over
6:13
your desk there were about six of them on his
6:18
desk so have you got out and brought an extra battery pack for your phone yet no
6:23
I haven't but and and I'm really still learning to play this game because it
6:26
doesn't really give you much in the way of tutorial right no handing and I have
6:32
never played a Pokémon game in my life of any kind I didn't even have aagi
6:37
right and all that kind of stuff is far into you right my head to the point where I
6:44
fast rang out of pokeballs because I are they called Pokéballs I've been calling
6:47
them that right I fast ran out of pokeballs because I didn't know you had
6:52
to spin that thing to generate more oh no one told me that if it told me on
6:58
screen I missed it no I don't did no so
7:03
anyway figured that out eventually by mistake well you you're lucky in a way
7:09
because well they fixed a lot of bugs I think during the the initial releases
7:14
like here and in you know in um in Australia and everywhere there's a lot
7:19
of bug fixes have been made uh it doesn't crash constantly now it crashes
7:25
sometimes and the screen doesn't freeze up all the time only sometimes
7:30
and uh they've introduced once or twice apparently people were getting catching
7:36
Pokemon and then when they were checked in their backpack they had different
7:39
Pokémon to what they had actually caught oh so it would like swap them out at the
7:44
last minute and uh yeah there's a couple other things that have been happening
7:48
but about the lawsuit that's happening at the moment what's that well there's a
7:53
classx lawsuit that's sort of been put forward because play the jingle oh
8:00
[ __ ] I'm not ready I want a new laptop by the way talk about that later
8:06
nice not ready at all what editing's for
8:11
we can just pretend we heard
8:19
it
8:22
proceed okay so um yeah you well you know we've reported how that guy moved
8:28
into a church and po well the class action is of a bit
8:34
around that about having Pok stops on private property ah cuz it's getting
8:40
somebody is saying you're digitally trespassing no well it's not digitally
8:45
trespassing it's because the Pokey stops there people are actually trespassing to
8:49
get there right wow and so they're putting forward this lawsuit to go look
8:53
we didn't ask for these people and it's because of you that they're here so give
8:57
us some money well I good luck with that that because we've talked about the I
9:01
think people don't understand how things got to be like that and you know like
9:07
there's a reason that certain things are Poké stops and and gyms and that's
9:11
because in the previous game they were tagged it's not like Niantic went out of
9:16
their way to [ __ ] with these people yeah it's like no no but but I also love the
9:21
fact that it'll give you a little bit of information about where you are yeah
9:24
know I like that too actually and it encourages you to explore and find
9:28
things in your neighborhood you might not have realized we there I would have
9:31
liked it if it was up to date yeah there was one stop where I went through and
9:36
it's to be a little picture of this guy painted onto a bin the bin is
9:41
gone in fact a few years ago they painted it and then last year they
9:44
removed it yeah right there's a few um where I worked in Sydney that were like
9:49
graffiti that were just not there anymore but I mean that's fine is it is
9:55
it really no probably not probably I should probably sue them
9:59
you guys want to go in on a class action lawsuit with me play the jingle again
10:05
[Music]
10:11
that so that's been my life for the last 48
10:17
hours I will admit when I first came out I played it like nonstop for a week
10:20
after about a week though you sort of realize there's nothing to it I don't
10:26
want to go on about Pokémon go too much but I will say this there there is a big
10:31
difference between the Pokémon that appear in in either different countries
10:36
or different areas because when I was in
10:39
Sydney I was overrun with bloody do Duos
10:44
I don't is that the same in camber l oh no I I drew with rats and bats really
10:50
okay cuz yeah I like the DU Doo I I put on the Instagram at one point as a joke
10:57
not a joke it actually happened my my bag was just full of them I couldn't get
11:00
rid of them like that's all we had and here I have not seen a single do Duo and
11:07
people have said oh we've never seen one I've never seen one you haven't no yeah
11:13
okay yeah I keep getting uh what's the owl called Pidgey keep getting Pidgey oh
11:18
yeah yes we have Pidgey here we have uh we have a lot more speos here and we
11:24
have a lot of uh weedles oh yeah yeah got a couple of
11:27
weedles yeah but yeah no do Duos I not a single one so there are seemingly some
11:34
Regional Pokemon we found there was a website we could go to that could help us with this
11:40
well there's not anymore they took them what well there used to be so you
11:45
wouldn't have experienced this this little bonus either for a little while
11:49
you tell me what I would and wouldn't have experienced dare you um but I don't know
11:54
you you also wouldn't have had the tracking feature too right when it first
11:57
came out you know how down in the bottom right you've got a picture of all the
12:00
Pokémon that are nearby tells you what's around right it used to have little
12:04
Footprints underneath them that would tell you how far away they were kind of
12:08
and then you could tell if you were getting closer or further away because
12:11
the number of footprints would decrease
12:13
or increase right right and using the
12:18
API application programming interface the a company made this
12:23
website called Pok Vision which would tell you literally where the Pokémon was
12:29
and how long they would be there so you could you could just go there and get
12:32
them like it mapped it all out for you you know there's a squirtle right here
12:38
and just like a week ago a couple days ago uh Niantic disabled all of that
12:44
because they said we're launching in more countries and these these websites
12:48
are killing our servers like we can't support
12:52
it so up until like it's a few days ago or like a week ago Luke that they yeah
12:58
it wasn't long ago at all yeah they they killed them all and they said no no more
13:02
and and they've removed that feature from the game Al together cuz they said
13:05
it's just too too much load on the servers well that feature stopped
13:09
working about 3 days in yeah that's what I mean yeah just they couldn't support
13:13
it I I think one of the other reasons they might got rid of that tracking
13:16
feature on the the phone so the footsteps is because people were walking
13:21
into stupid spots yeah you seen the video of like people running across a
13:25
highway and I think that's the reason they got rid of it
13:30
man people are stupid I mean there is a little bit of that in the game though
13:33
you know what I mean like I mean we We snuck into the ground of a Baptist
13:37
Church last night right and we weren't the only ones in
13:43
there yeah it is funny when I mean I don't think I I don't think I've been anywhere
13:49
ilite but uh I have been like wandering around and then you know in that car
13:54
park that you'd think could be abandoned at that time of the night and then
13:58
there's just a bunch of other people there as well like all looking at their phones
14:03
yeah speaking of uh Regional yes Pokémon
14:08
being slightly different I was in China
14:12
week before last and I saw a a man walking towards me Chinese man uh and he
14:19
was walking a labrador uh just normal looking Labrador you know nothing
14:25
nothing weird about it except when I got up close and saw its
14:30
face it looked a little bit Chinese I thought you were going to say
14:34
it had a human face but that was funny anyway no but you know what I mean like even the
14:41
dogs dogs in China look a little bit Chinese look like their
14:45
odors maybe it's that yeah how does that work though is that just bias you
14:52
thinking that well I mean maybe how would they
14:56
have features well [ __ ] I'm I'm not a scientist Matt
15:02
okay let's let's just let's just say that right now I'm not a scientist no no
15:06
no no we can we can come out with with a hypothesis for that maybe they breed
15:09
them you know with a preference towards those features because they're more
15:13
familiar there you go sure like the ones that look more
15:18
chinesey will get picked from a from a litter of puppies
15:24
sure yeah yeah survival of the cutest is this a good probably not you want to
15:30
abandon this do you want to just abandon this and cut and we
15:35
back to be honest it's more something I've just been meaning to tell you guys
15:40
since it happened because I was literally I was like do look a bit
15:47
Chinese so you haven't bought a gun in America Matt what have you bought uh
15:52
well I had to buy new power adapters for our Xboxes uh my Xbox actually uh will
15:59
Xbox we we shipped one so that'll be here in in a month or two uh it's on a
16:03
ship on its way here yeah that's what shipping means y good thanks for
16:07
clarifying all right good just making sure yeah uh the other one was in my
16:11
carryon bag because we wanted to have one while we were we carried on an Xbox
16:17
that is dedication we wanted one for couple of weeks before we left and we
16:21
wanted one for the month or two that were here without all that stuff so it
16:24
was in my duffel bag and uh I didn't have any problem s
16:29
at all until we got to LAX and I was we're just trying to board the the
16:32
flight to here and then they flagged the bag cuz they
16:36
said the guy he was very cool about it he was nice nice guy TSA guy mhm but he
16:42
said we uh yeah know we've going to have to check we have to check all the Xboxes
16:46
um because you know they could be bombs so I recommend in future you don't you
16:51
don't carry on your Xbox and I was like look I'll be honest yeah that's fair
16:56
enough I probably won't be coming back this way with this probably the probably
17:00
the only time I'm going to want to do this cuz it's it is pretty annoying
17:03
carrying this thing around but uh yeah so they swabbed it and all that kind of
17:08
jazz and it got x-rayed and obviously it was fine because it's just an Xbox um
17:13
but the power here in America is different uh as you may or may not know
17:19
they're 110 instead of 240 volts and for some reason the Xbox One does not have
17:25
the universal power adapter like a lot of devices do so you literally can't use
17:29
the the Australian power supply it'll it'll blow
17:32
up so um we have to buy two new power supplies and I looked online and you can
17:39
buy you know kind of cheap knockoff ones for you know like 20 bucks but I thought
17:43
that seems pretty stupid I not be risking that no and so I asked actually
17:47
went to a Microsoft store and they said oh no we don't sell
17:51
them and I was like oh that's weird they said go to GameStop so uh GameStop if you don't
17:57
know is basically just EB here uh so we went in and they said yeah yeah
18:02
we can we can organize them they're pre-owned uh but we have we have a bunch
18:06
of them I was like that's fine okay and they wanted 60 bucks for them each and I
18:12
was like you know what that's pricey but I don't want to risk getting a cheap one
18:18
I want a legit Microsoft one so that if something goes wrong it's all covered
18:21
and everything so ordered two of them uh they had to come from the warehouse so
18:25
they shipped them from Texas they arrived here one of them's fine one of them
18:29
uh was probably about $20 off eBay right when the person bought it so
18:35
I I called them up and the the man in um in the Philippines told me wasn't much
18:40
he could do so I uh took it back
18:44
in and they said yeah we we'll take it back and we'll ship you another one but
18:50
there's no guarantees it's not going to be a third party one
18:53
again well that's what you're buying because they don't distinguish between
18:57
yeah know I said to him if you charge $60 for these things you're probably
19:02
going to have to make sure that they're the real thing otherwise what are you
19:05
doing is not my responsibility to make sure the things I'm selling are the real
19:10
thing thank you sir good day I'm telling you now this one that they sent out it
19:14
was a piece of [ __ ] like this power supply it like it didn't it didn't even
19:18
weigh remotely the same didn't have any Xbox logos or anything on it it was just
19:23
like it was did you just explain to him like look if you send me another one of
19:26
them I'm coming back again and he said no the the people in the store were
19:30
really nice about it and they said look I'm so sorry there is no way for me on
19:34
this system to to to determine whether this thing I'm sending you is actually a
19:40
legitimate Microsoft product or if it's some bodgy thing that someone brought in
19:44
and trade it with their XBox unfortunately so the basically
19:49
what's going to happen is they're going to there's no way to check apparently
19:52
they just don't distinguish between them they have they've got like a pile of
19:55
power supplies like you could distinguish between them so OB L to the
19:59
naked eye it was clear but they don't have a way on the system to communicate
20:04
make sure this isn't some piece of [ __ ] one we want to a legit one but I mean
20:08
why they why are they not filtering these garbage things out anyway yeah I
20:12
was about to say why why isn't that just a prerequisite cuz I said to him the goods
20:18
merchantable quality and they understood and I said what happens if I plug this
20:22
in and it kills my Xbox like this it's a cheap piece of jum so and they're like
20:27
oh I wouldn't plug that in mate exactly so yeah
20:33
anyway well you've got time you don't need that second one for a while anyway
20:37
no that's right we don't luckily so um
20:41
yeah the uh the new one will arrive probably in a couple of days and we'll
20:47
see H well keep us updated but uh you'll be happy to know
20:53
that that the Xbox that we have here is all working fine everything's going
20:57
great and I've been playing
21:59
we got any other video game news since I just kind of seg wait I don't know if we
22:02
do I haven't played much I sort of do I because me and Matt we tried to
22:08
record all last week and I couldn't because of work yeah it was terrible it
22:14
was awful I wept I managed to keep my achievement streak going thanks to my
22:19
Windows phone cuz I did not get back to the hotel at a decent time to play the
22:22
Xbox at all you took your Xbox hot mysterious yeah I took my Xbox of course
22:27
I did did you carry it on or did you put it in your check luggage were you
22:31
overseas I always just I check baggage I always do oh so you just chucked in a
22:37
suitcase yeah you want to just back up a sec and tell me where the [ __ ] you
22:41
were oh I was in Brisbane oh I was in Brisbane for work right getting very
22:47
mysterious but then again you are a spy ex Jenna you might have to beat that so
22:53
it sounds like you said it's going to sound far worse yeah I got back yesterday and then I
23:00
drove Hannah to Sydney and back uhhuh and then today was I had to get a lot of
23:06
cheap to stay in the
23:11
competition but I managed to do it I'm still in the trueachievements.com
23:16
competition for gamer SC oh really cool
23:20
yep it was close but I managed to do it you love that
23:25
thing don't know why I'm just addicted to it
23:30
oh well how many people left in the competition there
23:35
are how many 361 left now is that
23:41
all yeah wow well obviously I hope you win but
23:47
I'm biased so I think the hardest part's going to be in about six five six weeks
23:52
time what was that when you're
23:55
erect when I'm in America of course yeah see how is that going to you're you
24:02
got to get an achievement every day right yes so yeah how's that work with time
24:07
zones well it's still going to be based off the Australian time zone oh because
24:12
that's where my account is registered so I still just have to fit in with that
24:16
yeah you have to make sure you keep an eye on that guys speaking of time zones
24:21
right yes I was in Manila last week and
24:25
you know what I saw time zone
24:29
the arcade oh yeah right cool I actually
24:36
going really there's it made me smile to
24:40
know that somewhere in the world people still go to time zone I think there's
24:46
one still one in Sydney yeah in right yeah Below on George Street below the
24:52
the movies there there was a time zone I saw it yesterday must be two of them
24:56
there's still a Time Zone on George Street yes wow mind blown so you actually in
25:02
Sydney Sydney yes oh cool how how is it horrible yeah how is it haven't been
25:08
there for a while I mean I liked it when I was there but all right yeah pretty
25:13
good I like the nice quiet I know suburbs I live in yeah and then I drive
25:19
to Sydney and it's terrible it's I mean it's only been a week but I do miss it a
25:24
bit CRA is very picturesque I'll say that it's very quiet I had no idea and I
25:30
thought I'd been there but I hadn't I realized when I went to cber
25:35
Luke the most recent time to see you that the last time I was there was our
25:39
high school trip and you don't really give a [ __ ] if something's a picturesque
25:43
little town when you're in high school you just like right am I going to get to
25:46
[ __ ] one of these chicks the answer was
25:51
no camber chicks no way no I mean one of the chicks from from our school that
25:57
were you know didn't really care you didn't really
26:02
care who you [ __ ] the female you care if they were
26:09
female yeah that doesn't surprise me cuz I got
26:13
[ __ ] um I sent you guys a Snapchat during the week that nobody responded to
26:20
and it's possibly because I hit send when I meant to hit text and I was going
26:24
to put a little caption and I didn't so it was probably too out of context to
26:30
even really understand but you know how
26:33
they say no child is born racist and
26:37
racism is something that we all learn right I can now officially say that's
26:42
not true right okay okay so I was um I was at an
26:49
orphanage and uh we were doing a shoot there and one do you think you
26:55
liked
26:57
yeah um one of the crew members on our
27:02
team was black right right mhm MH and uh we came in we sat down we're getting
27:08
introduced to everyone and this Little Orphan girl wandered
27:14
over came up to guy looked at him really
27:17
confused looked at us wandered off came back with her paints and very politely
27:24
and naively proceeded to paint his face white
27:32
Jesus well I mean it it's cuz he's different to you
27:39
to to her like you know I mean it depends she knew how he was meant to be I mean
27:46
kid yeah maybe they're not born racist in that they you know they don't hate
27:50
them and you know like no but she knew it was a bit wrong you know you know
27:55
what I'm saying it's different it's different and did he let her
28:02
continue pting he did but the look on his face was uh was not amused no he's
28:09
like oh not this again he like if only God had done
28:15
[Laughter]
28:19
this oh dear uh well speaking of uh
28:23
speaking of there's a Rocketeer reboot in the works I see
28:28
and uh apparently we're we're assuming people are going to be really asking for
28:32
a new Rocketeer movie oh no I'll say I love Rocketeer oh yeah great I love
28:37
Rocketeer and what I love most about The Rocketeer movie was that they didn't try
28:41
to set it modern they kept it set during the Nazi times like it was in the comics
28:47
so it still made contextual sense MH but uh they seem to now just be uh trying to
28:54
see how far they can piss off the internet H it must be a personal
29:00
challenge because they have decided that uh instead of the usual uh casting they
29:06
are going to cast a black female as The
29:12
Rocketeer so I'm just waiting for this to get ugly yeah see I don't I don't
29:18
really care either way except that as you mention context I'm not sure that
29:24
like storywise I mean if this is an attempt to to be somewhat historically
29:29
accurate I'm not sure how that's going to work I mean well for starters I'll
29:33
say I doubt very much in 2016 they're allowed to still make oh they I suppose
29:38
they' made Wonder Woman a period movie uh maybe I'm wrong yeah I was going to
29:42
say they're probably going to change the context right no well I mean in Wonder
29:47
Woman if you notice from the trailer they've got B planes and things um
29:52
except the soldiers look like Nazis so it's it's kind of right I think it's a
29:58
bit ambiguous when Wonder Woman is supposed to be set cuz Banes and stuff
30:02
is World War I but the nais is World War II like so it's kind of this weird it is
30:07
World War I she's fighting in well I mean okay well they look a bit different
30:10
then perhaps they HS yeah but uh I don't
30:15
know this is set six years after the original Rocketeer which was what the
30:21
40s I guess uh no it have to be late 30s yeah it says um a sit behind the
30:27
backdrop of clamor Hollywood in the late
30:29
1930s okay all right well I mean I don't give [ __ ] but I can see yeah people are
30:35
going to be annoyed about wait so this is a sequel yeah
30:40
yeah interesting and I like how they they're sort of doing it they're saying
30:44
like the original Rocketeer Cliff he's disappeared right yeah while fighting
30:51
the na disappeared fighting Nazis and then she fires the backpack and then
30:55
defeats a Nazi spy okay so it's uh the Force
30:58
awakens yes yeah basically okay well I like that and I like The Rocketeer so
31:04
that's great it could work I might watch this again actually I do love The
31:08
Rocketeer yeah I don't think I've seen it since oh Manan it's great oh it'd be
31:14
at least 25 years I remember it being great hopefully it's still great I
31:18
remember I remember uh Jennifer Connelly being great in it oh yeah yeah remember
31:24
her being great in I remember her her breasts being absolutely Immaculate in this
31:30
movie I'm going Italy right
31:34
now Jennifer
31:40
Connelly wallpaper archive um breasts
31:45
[Laughter] Immaculate oh dear yeah well look I love
31:51
I love any movie where people fight Nazis cuz you know I say any movie where
31:56
they have Immaculate breast that's too but yeah Indiana Jones uh
32:02
Hellboy all of that it's all good stuff Captain America they're the two movies
32:07
about fighting the Nazis that you go
32:10
to what not war movies right
32:15
no shut up no no no no I love it you just named two of my favorite movies
32:20
[Laughter] Matt oh dear well speaking of Indiana
32:26
Jones for a loose segue uh that actor also played Han Solo and they're making
32:33
a Han Solo movie they've announced the actor and apparently he's locked in for three
32:39
movies okay now I heard about this this isn't guaranteeing there's going to be
32:43
three MOV no no no they're just preparing in case they want to make
32:47
him y there's a certain irony in that because Hans H solo like he's a real
32:52
[ __ ] person Harrison Ford was the only cast member in the original Wars
32:58
who was not contracted to sequels oh really yes in fact that's why Lucas had
33:05
alen Foster was it alanan Foster Foster yeah Splinter of the
33:10
Mind's Eye right Splinter of the Mind's Eye which doesn't feature Han Solo in
33:13
case he couldn't convince him to come back for a sequel huh that was a great
33:18
book yeah it really was it was one with the crystals in it right KY Crystal yep
33:23
yeah oh do you know who wrote The Force awakens the novel novelization
33:28
Foster yes I tried to read it I kind of shock when I saw that I tried to read it and
33:34
then I was like I've seen this let's watch the movie yeah exactly yeah so
33:39
they're they're pumping out these Star Wars movies you know we'll see how that
33:44
goes we're guaranteed one a year for the next four years or five years or
33:47
something I don't know if that's a good thing or not but we'll see I know I I
33:52
think this is the next one to come out um I've completely blanked on the name
33:59
of it Rogue one Rogue one I think that's
34:02
going to be the big big thing that shows how it's going to go yeah if people
34:07
actually like these spin-offs or not cuz this is the first time that there's been
34:10
a well no it's not the first time there's been a spin-off movie caravana
34:14
courage one of my favorite movies battle for indor yep look
34:20
ah I just worry I mean maybe it's just that I'm like more picky now than I used
34:27
to be cuz i i find I dislike a lot more films than I used to like I kind of just
34:32
used to like all movies yeah but now I'm I'm I'm very
34:38
picky but like I said I didn't like the new Star Trek very much although I'm
34:42
like maybe that was my expectations I don't know I didn't like the previous
34:46
Star Trek very much no well everyone keeps saying this is the best of the new
34:50
ones and I'm like oh maybe maybe if I rewatched the others I wouldn't like
34:54
them as much either I didn't like the second one the first one the first one
34:57
was great the first great movie I thought so but yeah I don't know I like
35:04
Star Wars but I just worried that they're going to [ __ ] ride this thing
35:07
into the ground like DC's doing DC they just need to stop I
35:13
haven't seen stop everything they're doing and start again I haven't seen
35:17
Suicide Squad yet but [ __ ] no I don't think any of us have seen it yet right
35:22
evidently it's still doing well and making money but it's not getting good
35:27
reviews no it's not no but none of them get good reviews well I mean the Marvel
35:32
ones so I [ __ ] sorry I hate to do that fuing go on Matt I shouldn't Ang I
35:38
shouldn't have come give Marvel a big hug Civil War got pretty good reviews
35:44
yeah Civil War was a good movie yeah I'll give you that I mean and they've had has there
35:50
has DC had a good review for any of their movies yet no not
35:55
really that's all the Batman movies that
35:59
were [ __ ] awesome oh yeah
36:02
right and new Batman we're bat flick I don't mind batfleck I'm on team batfleck
36:09
man I know I think he's going to be a great Batman I can't wait I rewatched
36:14
Batman movie I rewatched Batman versus Superman B of Justice on the flight
36:20
because it was there and I was like I wanna well see again like for something
36:26
I like it even less it's it's just like even if you turn it off before
36:32
doomsday comes in well I didn't that's my plan from now on to just turn it off
36:39
there I don't think it helps it's just not very good even and like if Batman
36:43
kills way more people than I even remembered just [ __ ] murders
36:47
everyone like it's just it's just not
36:51
can I ask a question sure because I mean
36:56
bad Fleck is in Suicide Squad however briefly right so does that mean if they
37:02
ever do Batman versus the Joker in this universe and we already know Batman has
37:07
fought the Joker because we saw that little Easter egg yeah Batman vers
37:13
Superman does that mean that the Joker he fights is the Jared Leo Joker yeah I must
37:20
be it has to be right yeah I mean yeah logically you would think so right but I
37:27
don't know it's already cannon in that that
37:30
universe that that's who the Joker is so
37:34
it's Joker is now see the thing I get about watching the Batman and from what
37:39
I've seen the S side I don't feel like I'm watching a comic come to life no
37:45
you're watching the opposite a comic go to
37:48
die yeah yes uh yeah I did want to see
37:54
I'm seeing Suicide Squad during the week actually I've already I've already got
37:56
my tickets yeah I do I want to see it cuz I got to know going to see it I'm
38:00
looking forward to it look I suspect there's things I'm going to like about
38:03
it you know even if there's a lot I don't like about it yeah Harley
38:09
Quinn yeah so that I went saw the Jason
38:15
Bourne movie yesterday oh did you probably didn't need to make another one
38:19
of them probably probably should have put that script on the same shelf they
38:24
put the latest James Bond movie on just quietly yeah right I still enjoyed it
38:28
but I mean honestly is there a point that was just that wouldn't another
38:32
paycheck with that one yeah yeah and you know how the cuz I I actually really
38:37
like the Jason bour movies and you know how every single one has a really good
38:41
hand toand combat fight scene in it yeah this one doesn't this one he can
38:46
literally about four separate occasions during the movie he knocks out someone with one
38:52
punch [ __ ] that's annoying yeah um I watched
38:57
two movies two other movies on the plane because that's on a plane yeah one of
39:02
them or should I say one of them I've been I put off for a little
39:08
while uh and I finally got around to watching it and I'm going to play this
39:13
this jingle right [Music]
39:20
here I'm not going to play the whole jingle cuz it's way too long that'll do
39:24
but were you play good at all I didn't hear any of it so uh
39:28
for us no no playing of them oh I've been playing
39:34
them been huming you oh well I apologize for that I need to check the setup on this
39:40
laptop uh I'll sort that out for next time anyway I was playing the James Juan
39:44
jingle because I watched James Juan's fast seven or furious seven I think it
39:49
might be actually I think it's called the very quick and the very
39:53
angry cool did you get a little teary at the end uh oh yeah when uh Paul Walker
39:59
drives off in a flaming car seriously there Matt what did you
40:05
think of this movie yes I've seen it seen [ __ ] loved
40:09
it I haven't seen it yet it's so [ __ ] ridiculous I loved it yeah yeah yeah I'm
40:15
so glad you liked it Matt I'm so glad you liked it I didn't even expect it to
40:19
be as ridiculous as it was I know and I've not seen another fast and furious
40:23
movie right I have and they were not this ridiculous wow so it took James
40:28
Juan to take this to the next level I mean some of them I feel like they've
40:32
they've gradually like kept ramping it up and then at the point where as the
40:36
season as the movies have gone on they've just got that little bit more
40:39
crazy and crazy and crazy every time when any other director would have said
40:43
I don't know where we can go from here James ju was like I know exactly can go from
40:48
here yeah I mean the more we talk about him the the more excited I am for
40:54
Aquaman you know so okay there's a number of action set pieces in this that
41:00
I would I just want to watch over and over again yeah and they're all set up
41:04
in such a ridiculous way where it's like you know this is going to be stupid but
41:09
it's amazing my favorite obviously was uh where they have to break in to this
41:16
Penthouse in Abu Dhabi on the top floor of this enormous skyscraper and steal a
41:21
hard drive out of a car all right no this makes any sense no cuz it's always
41:26
got to be in a car I
41:28
know muscle even like foreign criminals
41:33
that they've got nothing to do with also love cars that's right now spoiler
41:39
warning sorry I'm going to spoil some stuff here because I mean it doesn't
41:42
matter it's not the plot is not the point of this movie at all I don't even
41:46
remember what the plot was really no I don't is there actually a plot yeah the
41:50
plot is driving yeah the the plot is they've got to set up all these action
41:56
sequences and then do stupid [ __ ] in cars so obviously when they get up into
42:01
the penthouse things go wrong Michelle Rodriguez has to fight Ronda Rousey in
42:05
10 minutes yeah which was amazing in toughest chicks in the world yeah in
42:12
like sexy dresses and then um and then obviously they have to drive the car out of a
42:18
skyscraper uh by jumping it to another skyscraper it's what you do Matt come up
42:24
with a better way to do it no I don't think I can no you can't I actually I was like cuz I
42:31
it got me though cuz I was like what are they going to drive it down the side of
42:33
the building what are they going to do and then yeah like isn't that someone
42:38
fire a rocket launcher that like boosts it so it's literally drives AC like out
42:44
the window of the skyscraper and they're like what like 100 stories up and then
42:49
they jump it in and land just happen to land you know on the floor in the next
42:54
building I think they keep going don't they to a third building of course they do
42:59
mat and then obviously um they dive from the car and that at that point and it it
43:04
continues out crashes amazing yeah yeah World Class Cinema and
43:10
then actually I think possibly my my most favorite moment in the whole film
43:15
is when The Rock is in hospital because he's Jason's and has beaten him up and
43:19
his arms broken in a cast and his daughter's there and he sees on the news
43:23
that all this chaos is happening in the city because there's a [ __ ] drone
43:26
shooting up the City that they have to kill with their cars um and he he gets
43:32
up out of the hospital bed and he says Daddy's got to go to work and he flexes
43:36
and the cast bursts off his arm yeah but let's also remember that the reason he's
43:42
wearing a cast is because he was blown up in an explosion and flung out the
43:47
window of a building and then when you cut to his what you assume is his dead
43:51
and mangled corpse it's just him in a hospital bed watching TV eating a jelly
43:56
with I'm in a cast it's so
44:00
good yeah I just love that it he just this whole movie just doesn't care about
44:05
that stuff it's like a balls out action movie yeah like it's ridiculous like Vin
44:11
Diesel should have been dead so many times just he crushes his car like head
44:15
first into Jason stam's car several times like it's a running gag in the
44:20
film where they just have a head-on collision and then get out and they're
44:23
like all right that's fine I mean it's such a coincidence that
44:29
STM even has a car like that or likes cars like that yeah I know I know and
44:34
like why are they all such good drivers yeah yeah I mean I I didn't even
44:41
know the rock was in these movies right I knew that Vin Diesel was but I didn't
44:44
know The Rock was in them he wasn't in them from the start right no he came in
44:48
I think there must have been some point where he rang his agent and said I've
44:51
been watching these Fast and the Furious movies this is the kind of [ __ ] I should
44:54
be in surely yeah and I love that there's a little bit of foreshadowing at
44:59
the start where the kid like P Walker's kid's playing with a car and he's like
45:03
like fly through the air and Paul Walker goes kid cars can't fly and then later
45:09
on they have to drive the cars out of an airplane oh it's
45:15
ridiculous like it's it's literally ridiculous but I love yeah it's [ __ ]
45:19
stupid but in a good way will it make you go back and watch the others I don't
45:24
know man and if James Juan didn't direct him I don't think
45:28
I feel like I because I've seen I've seen the first one and the second one
45:33
and I think I watched on a previous flight here I watched like maybe four or
45:39
five uh and I know I've seen that clip of one it might be six where they've got
45:45
to stop the tank have you seen that clip I think we've talked about it on the
45:49
show where Michelle Rodriguez goes flying out of the the front wind screen
45:53
and Vin Diesel crashes his car and flies out of his wind screen catches up
45:57
[ __ ] stupid but again amazing so maybe I should watch him maybe anyway
46:04
yeah thumbs up James Juan you're still my favorite director at the moment just
46:08
amazing and something else I watched that was also amazing was Zoolander to
46:13
have you seen it no but I must say Matt I was never even a fan of the first
46:18
Zoolander oh really yeah I was and I
46:22
know everybody was I there it's it's me there's something wrong with me
46:27
I enjoyed it when I first saw it that movie has dated terribly yeah maybe yeah
46:32
well I mean this one's got a lot of very uh very topical jokes in it so okay I
46:39
don't know if it'll hold up but man this movie got terrible reviews and so I kind
46:43
of held off but I watched it on the plan because Jenna watched it first and then
46:47
I was watching I think I was watching um Furious 7 and then I finished and I was
46:53
like oh man that movie was great and she said I just watch Zenda to and you need
46:56
to watch it cuz it's hilarious and uh yeah it is man I really
47:01
enjoyed it I don't know whether it was cuz delirium from the uh you know the
47:06
the eight hours I'd already been on the plane but uh yeah I really enjoyed it so
47:10
I've got this problem at the moment after I finished watching stranger
47:13
things Luke you uh given that a go yet uh not yet I will I'm still working on
47:19
it but talk away okay no I'm not going to spoil anything from it even though I
47:22
know you don't believe in spoilers anyway I'm just going to say I I just
47:27
want everything to be stranger things now right it it's ruined literally
47:31
everything else for me um so I'm trying to only watch things now that resemble
47:37
stranger things so I'm working my way through Spielberg's early films right
47:42
how long has it been since you two guys have seen ET the
47:47
Extraterrestrial I haven't seen it since the guns turned into walkie-talkies and
47:53
I actually realized seen walkie talk I've only seen it once as a
47:57
at the cinema that might be true as well
48:00
for me I don't remember watching it again I know yeah no I don't I don't
48:07
think I've watched it recently guys this movie is [ __ ] dark
48:13
you could not make a kids movie like this these days and Luke I assure you
48:17
the guns are back to being guns it's okay ah they're back but you can kind of
48:21
understand why they changed it like if you watch this movie now you go put all
48:25
this [ __ ] in the kids movie like there's one like let's go get ET and then it
48:29
just cuts to a closeup of a cop just [ __ ] cocking a shotgun you know what
48:34
I mean yeah well yeah but it's an alien I
48:40
know but when that alien gets sick man it [ __ ] hits you in the gut a like
48:47
this movie took it out of me emotionally all right well maybe I'll
48:52
try and watch that this week yeah it's got a young Drew Barrymore in
48:59
it doesn't it yeah yeah and she's Charming she's very Charming the the kid
49:04
in the lead is amazing Elliot Elliot yeah not his real name
49:10
but probably not but he's great he's
49:14
just really good speaking of kids right yes Matt did you happen to see that the
49:19
kid who plays DUS in stranger things did the what stranger things character are
49:24
you quiz and got Dustin I [ __ ] love that kid he's great how
49:29
good is that though oh man Dustin is he a [ __ ] I feel weird asking this is he on
49:36
Instagram or something cuz I that kid's just hilarious I need more Dustin yeah
49:41
maybe we should try to get him on the show that would be
49:46
amazing imagine that oh man you got to watch this show look it's
49:50
great I will I will I promise [ __ ] don't promise US mate promise yourself
49:56
promise Dustin there more CH for me doing if I promise you guys I promise me I'll just
50:02
L to myself try and hold you accountable
50:07
um I saw that this week uh you know Harrison Ford famously broke his leg
50:13
while they were shooting force Awakenings and I saw this article that said the
50:19
producer uh in charge has played guilty to negligence because you know they
50:24
admitted that it was uh it was they messed up but did you read this about
50:30
what happened like it's I didn't no so
50:34
so how for sued them oh no no no no no no they I don't think so they just
50:40
because it because it happened they have to you know oh no he's he's plad guilty
50:44
to criminal charges so somebody has pressed charges well I don't know maybe they're
50:49
obliged to no sorry the UK's health and safety regulator suit Disney right wow
50:55
because well on the Millennium Falcon set they built that you know the big
50:59
door that the that opens and then chewy and hard run in the main door to the
51:04
Millennium Falcon I guess effectively chewy we're home well they built it
51:09
right and they built it in a badass way so that it kind of slammed clothes
51:13
really quickly in a cool Star Wars kind of way right right instead of suddenly
51:18
the film speeding up like it did in the old films yeah well the power of the
51:22
doors drive system this is a quote was comparable to the weight of a
51:27
small car and uh Harrison Ford said uh I
51:33
think on Jimmy Kimmel or something he said now we had a lot of money and
51:37
technology and they built a [ __ ] great hydraulic door which closed at
51:41
light speed and somebody said oh I wonder what this button does and then
51:45
the door came down and hit me on my left hip because I was turned to the right
51:49
and then it flung my left leg up and dislocated my ankle drove me down into
51:53
the floor my legs slapped on the ramp up to the millennium Falcon and broke both
51:57
bones in my left leg oh
52:01
[ __ ] yeah so uh and then they're saying that if um if it oh here we go the only
52:08
reason for didn't sustain more injuries or die was because the person operating
52:13
the door pressed the emergency stop button Just in Time Imagine That imagine
52:18
he'd been killed by the Millennium
52:24
Falcon oh guys that I I would by going out by being killed by the Milan Falcon
52:30
I'll keep that in mind Luke we'll figure out something we'll figure something out
52:34
yeah I was like [ __ ] that's brutal I had no idea and like it made me wonder
52:39
because I knew that he broke in his like but I kind of forgot and you know the
52:41
scenes you know especially during the um the battle scenes on um you know when
52:46
they're outside maz's place when he's moving around but he's like moving a bit
52:50
stiff like he looks like he's he's not comfortable moving around I thought it
52:55
was just cuz he'd got on in age but maybe he you know his leg was just
53:00
crushed under a [ __ ] car basically Jesus so I'm surprised he was moving
53:05
around the way he was yeah so yeah I was wondering if
53:09
that's why he looks a bit stiff in the film uh I mean probably not he's old anyway
53:16
but that this wouldn't have helped no cuz I remember when they said he broke
53:21
it it wasn't like no they didn't say that it got crushed like no wasn't that
53:26
big a thing like here he's broken his leg we're still filming yeah it'll be F
53:31
which producer has been charged it can't be Kathleen Kennedy surely no uh
53:36
somebody else has taken the
53:45
fall it looks like the production I don't think it's an actual person yeah
53:49
you might be right it says producer pled guilty but Kathy Kathy Kennedy is the
53:54
producer of of this and all the other stuff was yeah yeah then it's if I read
53:59
on to another page got foodal Productions limited has today pleaded
54:03
guilty to filing to protect actors so it looks like it's the company what happens
54:07
particular person when you when when you we might have talked about this on the
54:10
podcast before but when you decide to make a film you start a company that
54:15
that is the production company of that film and that film alone they do this
54:19
for every single movie made in Hollywood and it's so that if anything happens on
54:23
that movie and somebody sues they can only Sue from the profits of that movie
54:27
yeah so and they they also do that so that the movies aren't profitable so
54:32
they can avoid paying royalties to certain people yeah yeah that's just a that's
54:37
just a side effect a nice nice little byproduct of that for the exec for
54:43
example if you're the author of the original story from gravity or something
54:47
like that speaking of authors of Original Stories I think we have some
54:52
followup here of a court case we've discussed on this podcast before yeah
54:58
aism now I haven't seen this uh this other film lockout that we're talking
55:03
about here uh but I have seen Escape From New
55:07
York obviously because he great movie we
55:12
talked about this before uh Luke Besson produced a film uh I don't know that he
55:18
did he write the film or anything um he certainly produced it a
55:24
film called lock out starring Guy Pierce from
55:28
Australia uh and bloody Pierce mate yeah
55:31
M and John Carpenter saw the film and went hang on a minute that's the same as
55:37
my film that I made
55:41
uh he also B the film twice true now I
55:46
mean this is a weird one right because the film I mean they're not really the
55:50
same they're sort of the same it's a dystopian future where the president or
55:55
the president's order or somebody gets taken into a you know a high Maximum
56:00
Security Prison in the future that's every film made in the 80s that's what I
56:04
mean in in lockout it's in space right in in Escape From New York it's
56:09
literally New York they turned Manhattan Island into a prison
56:13
and I mean and not only that this film lockout was a
56:17
flop like it's it's not a good film it's not like they made a bunch of cash off
56:21
it but uh John car sued them for copyright infringement and he's won wow
56:28
they've had to pay you almost never win these kind of
56:31
litigation yeah there's always someone who usually says reasonably someone else
56:38
could have come up with this idea as well yeah and I mean I'm sure I mean
56:41
Fortress is another one that's I mean is it the fact that it's [ __ ] love
56:46
Fortress Yeah Fortress is great that's cuz it's got Christopher Lambert in it
56:49
man is his best role outside of Highlander well okay apparently it says
56:55
here one aspect helped Carpenter in this case uh was the fact that it was a wide
57:01
relase Hollywood project uh not a
57:03
lowbudget thing like the Asylum make um
57:08
and I think is it is it a presidential related person that he's got to
57:14
rescue in which one well in in Escape From New York it's literally the
57:19
President right he has to rescue yeah in this one uh president's order from an
57:25
outer space prison yeah so it's kind of
57:30
the same but not really I mean it's only as the same as every movie where a
57:34
[ __ ] cop has the Mob kill his brother and now he's out for Revenge
57:39
yeah or or like everything's been done before yeah I mean or you know a
57:44
baseball team have to go up against the you know the best team in town and they
57:49
you know they've got a lot of heart so they end up winning yeah or the hockey
57:53
team or the you know whatever team or the boxer or the school all the same movie
57:59
yeah yeah so the funny thing is though I've I've just gone onto IMDb to look up
58:04
lock out right yeah um to answer your question was Luke basson credited as a
58:10
screenwriter yes he was but also him and two others lupas on
58:15
screenplay James ma screenplay Steven lier screenplay original idea by Luke
58:21
bong maybe that maybe that credit is
58:26
what just pissed off uh carpenter
58:30
carpenter yeah yeah it could be and he was like look if you just [ __ ] said
58:36
we wrote this script but the fact that you pointed out this was an original
58:40
idea by you I'm not having that yeah I think that's fair well look he didn't get all the
58:47
money he wanted he was suing them for two and a half million he got up to
58:52
95,000 right which is probably not it's not going to buy him a house but he
58:58
could put in a really nice kitchen yeah exactly yeah so it's just a weird one
59:04
because yeah I mean obviously they're very similar but I mean a lot of stuff
59:09
similar these days yeah if you know everything's a copy of
59:15
something now it's very difficult to be completely original yeah hopefully this
59:21
doesn't mean you know every film that comes out now is just going to get sued
59:26
cuz then we won't get any more films come on guys we want more films don't we
59:30
don't we well I'd like more good films I don't know if that's going to
59:34
happen l no that's depressing that's all for this week thank you for listening
