• 0:50
  Speaker 1: me at the end. Oh goodness, oh good. You know
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: I've had some listeners right in saying like they're running
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: out of paper airplanes and those op sides were dead ends.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Thanks Greg Gregory. Yeah, well, oh I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: I just had to kick this, uh, this weird impish
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: fellow out from the microphone. Man. You get up to
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: do one quick bio break and the next thing, you know,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: all the riff raft move. Look, I thought it was
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: going to bring like a whole new leg Joan a
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Vive to the show. But that's fine. I'm glad to
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: have you back, Jonathan. I will jouave all the viv
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: you won. Okay, it's no one replaces the Strickland. That's
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: that's true. That's true. Uh so you're you're doing some
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: piraty stuff. Is that Is that because you got all
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: these like sea shanties stuck in your head? Yes, it is,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: if I'm being honest, it is. I'm in fact, I
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: went through about eight sea shanties before Ariel logged on.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Uh I was. I was in the middle of leave
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: her Johnny Lever when she when she connected and she
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: finished the chorus for me. But yes, I in fact
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: have been because I watched and it's one Night's scene before.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: But I watched one of the Breaking News Network videos
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: where at the point where you know, they try to
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: hang the news anchors out to dry. The concept behind
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: this show it's it's from college humor. It's that the
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: people posing as news anchors are reading off teleprompters, but
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: they have no idea what the teleprompter is going to say.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: They occasionally have to improvise and the goal is to
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: try and get through the newscast without smiling or laughing,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: and then whoever smiles and laughs the most loses. And
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: the one I saw I had a bit where one
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: of the news anchors got the the the blind prompt
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: of singing a cea shanty, but she did it so
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: way to go. Yeah. Yeah, I like Breaking News Network.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I've watched all of it now, but it can get
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: a little bit like too potty humor for me. I
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: think the more potty humor it gets, the more delightful
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: I find it. Honestly. It's also like it becomes it
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: becomes a vehicle for specific writers to mess with specific
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: like people on the show, like you, you start to
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: see Grudge's form, I mean, like that metapart if it
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: is fun, it's just I don't like a lot of
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: blue humor. But that's the easiest way to get someone
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: to laugh. Oftentimes, it seems like, at least within the
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: College Humor crew, so the dropout crew, I don't know
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: what to call him now, I guess yeah, well, they'd
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: still do College Humor branded stuff too, so But anyway,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: all of that is just to lead us into the
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: fact that we've got a little bit of geek news.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: We first thought we weren't going to have very much
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: at all because this was one of those weeks where
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: we just hadn't uncovered a lot of stories. We added
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: a few more today, but before we get into any
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: of that, we of course have our beloved segment Seconds
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: or Less and first up as Ariel. Yes, so we
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: have someone set to helm the episodes of wonder Man
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: that Marvel is putting out in Disney plusts putting out
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: one of the series of up and coming. Her name
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: is Stella Meggie. She previously directed a photograph. I'm not
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: very familiar with her, but I am excited for this series.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: She'll be working along with Daniel Dustin Kretton, who has
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: worked on things such as Shang Chi in the Legend
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: of the Tender Rings, and Andrew Guest who worked on
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Thirty Rock. So a team like that makes it seem like,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: you know, we don't know much about this show yet,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: but I think it's going to be a lot of fun.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: And this is just a rumor right now. Marvel hasn't
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: commented on it, but it's like I suspect that it's true. Yeah,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: this is one of those series about a character I
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: know very very little about. Also, we'll talk more about
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Marvel when we get into stuff that we've seen recently,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: because it prompts some questions I have based upon what
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: I have heard of the most recent Marvel film, but
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: we'll put it aside. I'll talk about something else that
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Marvel's doing, and that is Thunderbolts. So Thunderbolts is the series.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: It's about like anti heroes who are formed into a team.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: The MCU version has characters like Winter Soldier, Red Guardian,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: yell Enough Belova from The Black Widow. And now we
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: know that Stephen Jung is joining the series. We do
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: not know what character Stephen Yuan is playing. He was
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Glenn in The Walking Dead, and yeah, it just sounds
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: like they're really rounding out the cast, but we still
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: don't know very many details. Yeah, it's funny to me
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: because like the article on Hollywood Report says shady characters,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: and then it names three people who are a little shady,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: and then a bunch of people I would have just said,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: we're straight up bad guys. So yeah, well, interesting at
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: least in some of the cases, like like both with
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Ghost and with Taskmaster, you're talking about people who have
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: been either forced into it or manipulated into it, like
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: they had no other alternative kind of thing. So US
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: agents ProAb it's just a stupid face. He's just a
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: stupid face. I mean beyond just a stupid face. He
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: outright murdered one of the flag smashers. Yeah, yeah, he anyhow,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: maybe he can redeem himself. Okay, on to the next thing.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: This is another rumor. I think it's the last like
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: actual rumor rumor that we have. The Express the Sun
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: in the UK has said that Bridgerton is removing corsets
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: from their costumes. A bunch of actors who were kind
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: of complaining about uncomfortability and they were worried about damage,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: like short term and long term damage from wearing the corsets.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: I Hollywood is rife for making people wear things that
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: are uncomfortable or even dangerous. If you go back and
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: you watch, like who wisarming laws or you're a whole
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: bunch of problems with those costumes and makeup and things
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: like that. But but as a person who has spent
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: eleven years in corsets and has had no maybe a
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: little bit of temporary comfort, but no lasting damage. The
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: worst I've had her some like bodice or corset bruises
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: that have gone away in a couple of days. Like,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like it's not I don't
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: feel like it's necessary, especially for regency stays, which are
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: really just supportive garments. They aren't. They're like, I have
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: braws that cause more damage than regency stays. It's not
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: like not like not like a whalebone corset that's cinched
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: super tight. Yeah. Yeah, so you know, I'm sure there's
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: some discomfort, and I know you want to be comfortable
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: as an actor, and actors go through so much to
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: get a good shot, whether it's comfortable or not. I
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: don't know if this is true. It feels kind of
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: silly to me, but I am biased. I do want
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: to say something though, Ariel said. She said that she
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: never suffered any really serious harm from wearing corsets for
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: all those years. Y'all, she didn't, but you should have
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: seen the broken hearts in her wake. She caused so
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: much damage just walking through the fairgrounds of the Georgia
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Renaissance Festival. Sure it didn't affect her directly, but let
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: me tell you the loved ones of those poor men
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: and women who found themselves just completely lost after she
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: passed by. You're incredibly kind, Jonathan. We should move on
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: to the next story, all right, we'll do so. The
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: next story is that HBO Max has signed a deal
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: to make Welcome to Dairy. This would be a prequel
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: to it, almost as I would take a prequel to
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: the it crowd that's like Welcome to Dairy where they're
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: all act us intolerant. Okay, sorry, well the three seconds
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: this is the prequel to it. We had actually kind
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: of mentioned the possibility of this earlier. Now it looks
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: like it's going to become a reality, and I think
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Ariel and I probably still have the same opinion of
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: do we need this? Mm yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. All right,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: that went well over thirty seconds. So this next one, um, okay.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Netflix is changing prices. They're lowing prices for many um
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: areas of sale all of a sudden, they can't remember
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: the world for that a lot of a lot of
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: their um they're they're lowering prices in a lot of
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: different countries, not in the US. They are they know
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: that they're going to take a loss. Per Basically subscriber
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: for it, but they're hoping that they'll make up for
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: it in getting more subscribers in those areas. In the US,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: we had a price increase, but then they also gave
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: us like an ad supported tier that is cheaper. So
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: six of one kind half a dozen of another. Yeah.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: I like to think of this as we'll make it
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: up in volume. Yes, which didn't work so well with
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: content creation. No. No, we'll make it up in volume.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Sometimes works but rarely, but well, we'll see. Yeah. I
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: mean they have to try stuff right because everybody's still
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: trying to figure out how to make streaming work. I
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: don't think streaming is a bad idea, we just haven't
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: found this sweet spot for it. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, like
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: it was. As someone who worked or at one point
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: for Zaslov under the Discovery under the Discovery umbrella, I
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: will say that, you know, working at that company where
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: I got to listen to so many different meetings that
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: were really focused on the cable side, which made sense
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: because that was the major part of Discoveries business, was
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: the cable side of the business. That the long term
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: strategy for the longest time was get into more homes.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: But eventually you hit saturation and you just can't get
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: into more homes because you're like pretty much everyone who
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: wants it has it, and everybody else doesn't want it.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: So if that's the only way you can continue to grow,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: and because growth is one of the most important metrics
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: for a company, especially a publicly traded company, you've run
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: into a brick wall and you got to figure out
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: something else. So Netflix is probably saying, well, how can
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: we move the needle on subscriber growth? And one way
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: to do that is to bring the price down, at
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: least in some markets. Yeah, yeah, you know. You go
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: on to the next story, which is not about running
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: into brick walls, but maybe features some characters who could
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: run through brick walls. Sure, yeah, we didn't need a
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: segue for three seconds or less, but I did it. No,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: you're welcome. This one's gone off the rails. So we're
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: talking about the Marvels that are originally was supposed to
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: come out July twenty eighth this year, but Disney has
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: now pushed that back. It will now come out November tenth,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: and instead of the Marvels that July twenty eighth, spot
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: is going to the Haunted Mansion movie, which is actually
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: moving up from an August Gate. Not really any talk
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: about why this happened, so we just know what's happening. Mike.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: My guess is maybe just editing and production and special
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: effects on one is moving faster than the other. Possibly,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: it's also possible, like we're going to get into it,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: it's also possible that this was a specific decision to
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: space apart the Marvel movies a little bit more. But
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: we'll talk more about Well, we talked about that a
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: little bit last week too, so yeah, that's true. I
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: think we're gonna keep talking about it because you know,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: when Disney announces seventy three Marvel movies for one year,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: you gotta start asking questions. Not that many, it's not
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: that many, Okay. So this past week we got another
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: little clip from Dungeons and Dragons on Our among Thieves
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: that's coming out in March, and this clip finally finally
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: made Jonathan go, oh, maybe there's something here with this movie.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: It's uh, Chris Pines, he's a bark character is talking
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: to a corpse to try to get some information. And
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: when you speak with the dead in D and D,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: you have a limited number of questions and it's it's
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: very like three Stooges level comedy. Um, I thought right
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: on my level, Yeah, I saw this coupe, I'm like,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Jonathan would like this, and sure enough, keeping me, who's like,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: I saw this clip, I actually kind of like it.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, And just to explain, because it's thirty
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: seconds or less, but go ahead and listen. We the
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: corset thing went about three minutes, so so I'm going
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: to go ahead and take a little bit more time here.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: So this D and D promo. The reason why it
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: appealed to me is not because I thought the comedy
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: played out within the context of this fantasy film. It
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: I actually feels very corny for a fantasy film, like
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: the old joke of you have five questions and then
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: you end up wasting them because you're not thinking properly
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: before you phrase your questions. That's not why I liked it.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Why I liked it is because as I was watching it,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: I could imagine the real world gaming session where players
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: are trying to figure out the five questions they're going
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: to ask him. Because of the way they word things,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: and because the game master is kind of a jerk,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: the game master ends up having them waste all their
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: questions because they're not being careful enough. And I'm like,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: I can get this from a meta level, Like, from
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: a meta level, this joke works for me. I'm not
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: sure it works within the context of the film. The
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: game is saying that they don't want to do a
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: lot of meta, but I think it's one of those
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: things where it's like, it's a situation that multip people people,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: multiple people have run into with their characters, so they
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: can relate to it on a character level. But it
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: does make me feel like the previous the previous advertisements
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: for it maybe just and I've said this before, so
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to harp on it, just take the
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: jokes out of context. You don't have the build, build
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: or the relationship around it, which is what makes them work, yeah,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: or the situation around it. All right, we have one
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: less thirty seconds or maybe three three minutes or less. Yeah,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: it's so you remember Rogers, the musical from Hawkeye, that
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: series where they end up going to New York and
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: seeing a broad musical based on the Avengers, and even
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: aunt Man's there, despite the fact that aunt Man wasn't
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: there in the actual story. That are depicting well, now
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: we're going to get a one act version of Rogers
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: the Musical, but only at Disneyland. So if you go
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: to California Adventure this summer, there will be a limited
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: number of performances of Rogers the Musical, And yeah, you
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: bet it. I'm gonna do my best to get out
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: there and see this nice. I can't wait to hear
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: your review on it. Uh. Speaking of reviews and Marvel movies,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: I saw it aunt Man quantum Mania or whatever the
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: title is this. It's the quantum Maniacs. There's Yako, Whacko
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: and Dot, there's there's h Yeah that's correct, Yes, listen, Okay.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: There were times where Modoc looked awesome, and then there
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: are times where I was like, I'm looking about and
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: I'm like why why um? But uh no, I thought
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: they did it well. Um. The storyline, they're real quick.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: My my high level view, because I don't want to
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: ruin anything for anybody. I enjoyed Quantum Mania. I did um.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: The stakes didn't didn't feel super high. It wasn't because
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: they weren't high stakes. There was a lot of set
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: up for King. If you like King, it's great, you know.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: I liked King. I know, Jonathan like King. My husband
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: like King the conqueror who is being set up for
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: the villain. Um, he does some really cool stuff. I like.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: I actually like some of the fights in this movie.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of great humor. Um. It just there's
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: the characters don't have a lot of growth, and that's
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: it's not that they necessarily needed. A lot of these
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: people are established and so like they're like, Okay, here's
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: my experiences, here's what we need to do. Let's do it.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: And that's kind of the storyline, you know. There's it
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: makes them feel a little one note, which can kind
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: of make you divest. But the comedy, the visuals, the
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: it was my favorite Star Wars recent Star Wars movie. Um. Yeah,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: when she said that to me, I thought that she
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: made a mistake. I'm not the only person who like
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: there are articles about people saying that it's a Star Wars,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: it's Marvel's Star Wars movie, and people are like what
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: and had the same reaction as you, Jonathan. I didn't
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: see those articles until after I said that it was
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: my favorite recent Star Wars movie, and then my husband
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: shared them with me. But yeah, I mean I just
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: thought it was fun. I just thought it was fun.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: What was the tone of the film, because I remember
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: when we first started watching the trailers a couple of
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: months ago, we were worried that it was going to
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: be another kind of grim story where maybe not everyone
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: makes it out kind of thing. Um, I don't think
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: that's the case. There's there's there's definitely some darker stuff.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: I really it's hard to do. I feel like even
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: though there wasn't character growth, the acts that they put
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: within the movie were good. The way that they started it,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: the final fight and then the end I thought were
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: really great choices throughout that there was I mean, there
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: was a lot of action. There's a lot of like,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: you know, here's this big bad that's that's attacking people.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: And you know Kang is in the comics, he destroys
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: a lot of galaxies. Um, if you have you if
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: you haven't been watching, if you aren't familiar with the character,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: you know he's not um Galactus is that the right one? Yeah? Yeah, yeah,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: but you know he does. He's got multi versions, multi
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: verses and versions of himself and he reeks havoc and
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: he kills lots of people. And it's it's unlike Thanos
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: or something like that, at least in the comics. You know,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: it's yet to be seen in these movies. And I'm
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: not going to spoil anything from aunt Man and the
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Quantum Mania acts. But uh, you know, to me, Kang
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: is what I know about him has always seemed much
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: more self serving. There's there's like not that nobility behind
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: it um, which might also have make it harder for
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: some people to like connect with the story. But um
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: so there are some darker moments, but no, it was
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: just rather enjoyable. I enjoyed it. Did he feel like
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: the same Kang from Loki or did it feel like
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: a very different king? Well, I can't tell you that, Jonathan.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: It would ruin things. How would that ruin things? So
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: I'm just asking about his personality. He felt different, he
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: felt different? Okay, Yeah, he is a different king, right, yeah,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: because the King and Loki dies like that's i mean,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: spoiler alert for someone who hasn't watched Loki. That's like
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: a couple of years old now. But that version of
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Kang is like that's the pivotal moment at the end
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: of the series. So he does feel different. He also
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: feels the same. Jonathan Majors has a very specific way
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: of acting. It's not that it's disingenuous, but he acts
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: through his mouth. There's actually a creator on TikTok and
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Facebook who does like mouth impressions of different of different actors.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: And I think he's a great one because he emotes
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: a lot through his mouth and he acts through his
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: mouth and his expressions. And it's not that again they're
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: they're earnest and they're honest. But to me it comes
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: across like, I don't know, melodramatics the wrong word, but
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: he very much wears his heart on his mouth. Um
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: and uh and so like that carries across all of
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: his all of the two versions of King um. But
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: but but I like it. Also, Tony was like he
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: kind of felt like a Shakespearean villain, which is great
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: because he first showed up in Loki, where Tom Hittleston
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: is a Shakespearean actor. So who better to put against
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: a Shakespeapearian anti hero than a Shakespearean villain. So great,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: great casting choice, Seraphine, I am curious about this, uh
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: as it stands ant Man in Quantumnia of Solace or
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: whatever the hell it's called. Um it's it's um. It's
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: it's rating at around forty eight percent Rotten Tomatoes. That's
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: but that's that's with um critics, it's got a higher
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: It always has a higher with audience score, unless unless
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: it's a press film, unless it's a prestigie. Yeah, but
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: I tend to side with critics more than I do
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: general audiences because I think about the movies I watch.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: I had said that it was like my favorite Phase
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: four movie, but it's actually in the beginning of Phase five.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: But I liked it more than Love and Thunder. I
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: liked it better than UM Multiverse of Madness and Home
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: m Speaks Volumes. Yeah. Well I liked No Way Home,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: so I liked it better than you, Jonathan. Um. I
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: actually quite liked No Way Home. Like the biggest thing
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: for me was that, like I was dealing with a
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: sick cat at that time last year or two two
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Christmases ago, um, and so that tempered things. But I
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: enjoyed the movie. I didn't think it was the strongest
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: movie this. I think it's it's I think you might
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: enjoy it more, Jonathan. And the nice thing is, like
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: I went to a theater, I went on President's Day.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: I did go to a theater, but we were like
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: the only people in there that day. And I don't
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: know if it's the poor reviews or because most people
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: work in the middle of the day on President's Day
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: and I had it off. I was very, very lucky.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: But um, yeah, So it was a nice, quiet, empty
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: but delightful viewing experience. I am. I mean, I'm sure
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: I will go see it. I just I don't know when.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, maybe this will be another one that I
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: just wait for to come to Disney Blush. The things
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: I have heard from friends and from critics kind of
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: have set my expectations much lower. I feel like I
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: think you should go in with low expectations. I feel
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: I feel like this this whole. Like I defended the
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: approach of Phase four a lot, because I was like, listen,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: you've got to set the stage before you can build
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: all the way up to the epic confrontation. Like we
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: didn't get Thanos at the end of Iron Man, right,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: that didn't That wouldn't have made sense, and that even
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: when we started to see then so we would just
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: get a little glimpse in a post credit sequence and
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: then the next movie wouldn't mention them at all. It
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: was just to build toward what would become the penultimate
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: and ultimate Avengers movies in those phases. So I was thinking,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: of course, we have to do the same thing, like
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: we have to rebuild, because you can't just keep building
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: on top of something as epic as those Avengers movies
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: because you top out, you can't go any bigger and
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: then what do you do. But that being said, they
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: just has failed to really gain the kind of traction
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: I feel like the movies are missing a lot of
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: the charm. I feel they are getting a little not
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: literally cookie cutter, but you start to recognize the beats
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: in each of these movies and you start to like
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: you're like, oh, yeah, here's the I know what's going
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: to happen now because it's following the playbook. And I'm
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: kind of um, I mean, I'm kind of burnt out,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: like which I wish I weren't, which is why we
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: talked about last week Kevin Fish. Kevin Figi said that
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: he's going to one of these. Look, it's it's first
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: year making bets on whether I'd get an email address
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: out there, and now you can take bets on how soon.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: I will remember to look up how to pronounce his
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: last names, that I give this man justice and whether
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: whether you remember it week to week. Yeah, yeah, anyhow,
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: that's why he said, you know, we talked about it
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: last week. They are both going to make less Marvel stuff,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: which are still a lot of Marvel stuff on the slate,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: but it's also going to be more spaced out because
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: and I think, I think much like video games where
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: we talk about video games that maybe and and Captain
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Marvel that are delayed because they aren't ready yet. You know,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: I think if they take some more time to really
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: figure out how to make each of these scripts stand
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: out as their own unique thing, or at least own
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: unique um, you know, franchise or section within the Marvel verse.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: You know, so like all the thor is a certain way, um,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: not that it has to be because that can get
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: cookie cutter too. I think I think it'll be beneficial
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: and you know, so going back to Captain Marvel, maybe
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: it's a good thing there. Well, before we move on
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: into the news, let's talk a little bit more about
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: some of the stuff we've seen. How far along on
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: the Last of Us are you now? I just finished
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: episode three, Thank You, I'll never be. It was super
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: sad because it's a super relatable sadness in that episode, right,
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: it still didn't leave me with no hope like Children
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: of Men did well I would. I would say episode
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: three is sad, but it's also beautiful. It's beautiful, but
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: it's one of those situations that I go, I couldn't.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: I could not be in that situation. I hope I
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: am never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever ever in that situation.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah you know, wait, wait till you hit episode five. Okay,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: so yes, you're really building it up for me, Jonathan.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: You watch I mean, while I watched Last of Us,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: I got to I watched episode six. Um it a breather?
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Was it a breather? Kind of like there's some there's
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: some really heavy interpersonal drama in episode six, but nothing,
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: nothing is harrowing. I would say, as what you get
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: in episode five? Um, but I watched that. Um I
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: uh here for I catch up on on Night Court.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: I watched about two thirds of episode seven and I
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: turned it off because I didn't like it so much.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: I was like, I'm not finishing it. I haven't watched
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: this week's I've been so so busy. It's I mean,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: it's not that it's okay, it's just extremely middle of
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: the road sitcom material like it's it's so I feel
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: so bland and uninspired to me that I turned it
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: off because I was like this, just I feel like
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: this isn't worth the time it takes to watch it,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: which is saying something considering some of the stuff I
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: will watch and rewatch um. So I bailed on that,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: but uh yeah, so really last of Us was trying
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: to think there's anything else I've watched that falls into
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: the geeky category this past week, but I think I
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: haven't yet. No, I have not, But so I like
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: to watch Severance, but I need to watch it on
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: my own because my wife's not watching it, so I
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: have to find time when I've got time and she's
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: not like I'm not doing stuff with her, and I
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: just haven't put aside more time to watch more. But
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: I will because that first episode I loved it, so
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward to to following along. I just
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: haven't done that one yet. No. I I've mostly been
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: watching stuff that doesn't really fall into the geek category,
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: and the big one being Brooklyn nine nine. I never
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: really watched that show when it was on the air.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: I saw like maybe two or three episodes and I'm
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: kind of binging it now. Yeah, I had to go
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: back to Brooklyn nine nine the first time. I'm sure
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: I've said this on the show before. The first time
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: I watched it, I didn't care for it, and then
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: the second time I watched it, absolutely adored it. So, yeah,
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: it's really fun to watch Stephanie Beatrice Rosa and think
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: this is also Mirabelle from Incanto Kanto. Yeah, yeah, she
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: her her her Rosa persona is fantastic. And you know, um,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: so we've watched a lot of stuff, and you know,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: we've talked about Marvel spreading stuff out, but also pilot
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: season is getting spread out. Um And part of the
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: reason we didn't know if we were going to have
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: a lot to talk about is because pilot season usually
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: starts in February in la and kinda in Georgia. Georgia
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: has less of a pilot season where everybody's like making
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: new content. But this year it's all we hit an
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: all timeload that I think there's only like thirteen pilots
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: that are getting picked up. And part of that is
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: just because of the success of off season pilot launches.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Part of that is due to just streaming networks trying
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: to figure out what they want to do. You know,
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of stuff that's getting renewed because it's
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: already proven to be effective and profitable or at least
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: get get people who want to watch it all the
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: way through. And then part of it's because the Writer's
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Guild of America's contract three year agreement expires on my
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: first and so they're going into negotiations for a new
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: contract on March twentieth, and that means that we might
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: be there's talk of a possible writers strike. I honestly,
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know much about it, but you know, they're
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: they're they're gonna work on things like increasing basic wages,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: streaming and streaming residuals, and work for fight back against
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: smaller writer's rooms because as people cut us or like, well,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: you know that cuts everywhere, right, Yeah, downsizing is a
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: legit thing across all industries. Um, that sucks. Uh so,
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: and then you know again, this whole streaming thing, it's
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: it's I had to stroke about or almost struck about
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: this or they did strike, or they did they actually
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: go on strike. I can't recall now, a few couple
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: years back there was a brief strike. Yeah, and so
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: like you know, just it's the it's the way of
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: the industry. Um. But thankfully, you know, we do have
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: some great new content coming out still, um that we
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: want to talk about. Yeah, a little bit more just
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: on the writer strike just for a second before we
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: move on. The last time we had a major writer
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: strike was in two thousand and seven, and if you
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: were paying attention to content back then, you probably remember
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: there were lots of shows that had kind of like
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: an early end to them or a late start, and
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: that you kind of had some half seasons because as
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: writers were on strike for part of the time when
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: they would have been writing for these shows. It's also
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: when we got Doctor Horrible Singalong blog because Joss Whedon
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: and his brother and others were you know, they had
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: nothing going on, so they just decided to do their
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: own little independent web based series and we got that,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: which was a fun twist on the super villain origin
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: story kind of thing. Fun in quotation marks because of
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: course being a weed in project and ended up having
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: a sad turn at the end because no one's allowed
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: to be happy in a weed in verse. So it's
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: possible that we could get stuff like that again, But
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: obviously you would much prefer for the negotiations to go well,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: for the writers to get the considerations they want, for
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: the industry to treat the writers properly moving forward, and
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: then having no interrupt shit whatsoever in content creation, because
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: this affects everybody obviously, not just the writers, like it's
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: important they get what they deserve, but also in the
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: course of a strike, it means that all the people
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: across the industry end up being out of work for
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: as long as it takes to resolve that well, including
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: the writers. So that's the thing is, it's there, you know, strikes.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Strikes are not just to stick it to the man,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: but it's because you're you're giving up something yourself to
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: try to get better conditions for everybody in the future. Right,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: So um yeah, So hopefully they can get you know,
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: I know, I personally would love it if they could
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: get everything worked out in their new contract and not
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: strike because you know, as an actor, I need writers
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: because exception of lanc I don't like writing my own content.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: I love collaborating with others and I love the creative process,
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: but being a writer is not my strong point. So
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: content creation all by myself outside of llanc is not
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: really my jam. So yeah, so yeah, selfishly, I hope
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: they work it out. But also for these other people,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: I hope they work it out because nobody wants to,
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: you know, take a hit to their income or you know,
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: their jobs. So yeah, Well, let's move on to talk
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: about some of the news that we have this week.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: First up, Ariel found a little behind the scenes promo
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: for john Wick four, which was a party. Like, so,
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: I am kind of hot and cold on John Wick.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: I've talked about before about how the movies make it
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: seem like every single person in the universe of John
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: Wick is a professional killer and there's no such thing
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: as just a bystander, like everybody is in on it.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: But the behind the scenes look was really charming because
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: it looked like actors were having the time of their
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: lives doing these crazy choreograph fights and stunts and just
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: having a real fun time and you know, living in
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: the universe. Yeah yeah, so I haven't been excited about
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: John Wick four. I enjoyed the I really enjoyed the
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: first John Wick and then the subsequent subsequent ones have
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: all been they've been okay, but they haven't been that
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: first one right. And I'm not super excited about john
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: Wick four. I honestly could care less about the story.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: But watching all these people work hard and have fun
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: and collaborate on the stunts, that speaks to my heart
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: and I love that, And so I don't know, I
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: might be excited about john Wick four again. Again, not
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: like if I go, if I watched the movie, I
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: will be watching completely for like the technical how how
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: did they do this side of things? But also like
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: I enjoy watching that behind the scenes and then comparing
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: it to what I've learned in the couple of I'm
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: hoping to take more, but in a couple of like
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: firearms for film classes, I've taken on how you work
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: with guns and what your form is and how you
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: enter a room when you think there might be armed people.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: So it's really cool and it's interesting on a very
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: technical level. Well, yeah, the choreography in the John Wick
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: movies has always been really impressive, especially when the camera crew,
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: the cinematographer, the director are all determined to show how
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: fight scenes play out in a way where you can
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: follow the action. That's always been my biggest pet peeve,
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: and in more recent action movies, and by more recent
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: I mean like the last twenty years really, where you
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: have a lot of action movies where the camera is
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: so frantic or the lighting is so poor that you
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: can't tell what the heck is going on and you're like,
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: I don't even know who just got punched. I know
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: there was a punch, but I don't know who threw
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: it or who got hit by it. I hate those
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: like I like being able to see those scenes play out,
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: especially when you sit there and think like people trained
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: for months to get ready for these choreograph fight scenes.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: If you can't see what they're doing, it feels like
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: it's an insult to the amount of time and effort
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: they put into that sequence. So John Wick tends to
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: be pretty good about that, although the fight scenes are
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: also equally ridiculous because they involve a lot of gun
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: fights where you're about, I don't know, eight feet away
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: from your opponent and yet there's a lot of missing Yeah. Yeah,
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: I mean I can't speak to that. I've never actually
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: fired a gun. I feel like I should. I need
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: to take at least gun safety class. Sure, yeah, I agree.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: I think I think that's important for you to take
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: both as an actor and just as a person to
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: know how to safely handle a firearm. I say that
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: as someone who has not done it myself. I'm also
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: notoriously not a fan of firearms, so I mean, I
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: don't want to own one, but you know, if if
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: I'm around one, I want to know how to be
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: around it safe safely, more than just a for film.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: And then also, like you know, it's it's it's important anyhow.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: But if john Wick four was too subdued for you, yeah,
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: if you were thinking, man, john Wick had more decapitations
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: and dismemberments, knife directly through ahead, Yeah, correctly, like forget
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: that skull skull what m Yeah, I know that knife
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: just sliced right through the skull like it was but
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: a yeah, the studio behind john Wick has said yes,
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: and with a movie called Sisu or if you are
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: not familiar with that, it's it's a term. It's a
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: finished term. Finished people are known to have sisu, which
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: is like a heartiness and a stick with itness. Yeah,
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: like that, like a courage and a desire to fight
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: on even in the most adverse circumstances you can imagine.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: And the movie essentially is a very violent Nazi bashing
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: in in Finland, which it honestly feels a little more
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: like Inglorious Bastards to me, maybe just because of the
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: content than John Wick. Yeah, I felt like that the
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: violence depicted had a very tear and Tino kind of
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: feel to it in the sense of, like I think
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: of the Tarantino over the top violence that you would
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: see in an Inglorious Bastards or The Hateful Eight, right,
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Like those were movies where the blood and the gore
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: and the over the top violence reached hyper realistic levels,
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: like it was no longer realistic violence at all. Is
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: over the top. This trailer has nothing but that in it. Essentially,
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: the plot is you have this this guy who is
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: a gold miner and also a former soldier, and the
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: Nazis are retreating across Finland. That's set in nineteen forty four,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: but they're doing a scorched earth kind of a policy
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: as they retreat, and they happen across him as he
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: is trying to take his latest spoils from mining to
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: a place where he can store it, and they steal it.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: From him and then he goes rambo all over their
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: Nazi butts. Yes, you know, I don't. I don't know
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: if I'll see this. It might just be too too
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: much violence for me. However, anybody who knows me, I
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: don't know if I've probably said it on this podcast,
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: but people who know me in like out on the street,
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: out on the streets Aerial, uh know that I love Finland. Uh.
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: My great grandparents on one side of my family came
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: over from Finland. Um so, and anything that's Finland's a
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: really cool country. Anything that's Finnished. I'm like, I'm super
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: into um and this is not. There have been a
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: bunch of like independent movies and like other things that
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: have been focusing on like Finnish people and Finnish culture lately,
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: and I'm kind of like, all for this possible, like
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: Finnish revolution in media. Yeah, I uh. I had a
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: similar reaction in that when I watched this, I thought, yeah,
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: this is a little much even for me, Like I
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: used to love violent movies. I was, you know, I
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: found it very entertaining. And I was telling friend of
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: the show Shay Uh that this one Like as I
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: was watching, I'm like I'm not getting entered. I'm not
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: getting as much entertainment now of this as I would
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: have like ten years ago. Even seeing him fight undeniably
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: evil characters with this over the top violence, I was like,
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: this is a bit much for me. And maybe it's
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: because just seeing even ridiculous, almost cartoonish violence enacted on people.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'm just so tired of people getting hurt that
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: watching that kind of violence doesn't it's not entertaining to
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: me anymore, even though the people who are receiving it
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: out completely deserve it. Yeah, for me, it goes back
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: to that. I know that they often say in storytelling
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: you should show and not tell because that's more intriguing,
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: But sometimes I need things left to my imagination. You
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: don't need to see someone explode after they've stopped online
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: and they can flying in the air. You can lead
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: every once in a while, because we're getting a couple
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: of trailers. There was some violence that made me laugh
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: out loud. But but you know, every once in a while,
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: it's okay, But you don't you don't have to follow
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: through all the time. You can you can fade to
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: black on some of that. Yeah, well this was I
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: think it's the glorification of violence that is the thing
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: that I balked at, and that's not you know, not
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: everyone balks at that. And I'm not saying anyone's a
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: bad person if they really enjoy violent movies. I'm not
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: saying that at all, saying that I have changed. And
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: for me now, movies that are glorifying violence are not.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: They don't seem fun to me anymore. And and that
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean the movie's bad or that people who enjoy
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: it are bad. It just means I'm different than I
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: used to be and changes. Okay, look I've changed because
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: the new trailer for the movie The Power is a
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: movie anyhow, Yeah, we talked about it a few weeks ago.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: The new trailer looks really good and interesting to me,
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: whereas the old trailer left me kind of mat Yeah.
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: This is the story about how girls around the world
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: seemingly spontaneously developed the ability to emit electricity like they're
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: able to zap stuff. Some of them are able to
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: do it more effectively and at greater distances than others.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: But it isn't isolated to a single person or even
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: apparently a single group of people, but more like spread
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: throughout the world. And so the trailer that we saw
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: shows how certain characters react to this power manifesting within
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: these girls. Like some of the girls are clearly using
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: the power now to their own advantage or to punish others.
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: There's one in particular, she's kind of set up to
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: look like she's going to be kind of an antagonist,
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: where she's kind of reveling in the ability to use
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: her power to cow others and to kind of turn
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: the tables on men in particular who previously had been
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: kind of the oppressors. And then there are others who
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: seem to be using it mainly for like to defend
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: themselves or in some cases they don't really want to
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: use it at all. It just kind of happens, and
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: it is really intriguing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and you know
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: it shows like what like systems in power, how they
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: might respond to that, you know, systems currently in power
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: might respond to this new power. This new trailer is
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: really good. Um, it's got John Legazamo in it, and
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: I already like him much better than in Violent Knight
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: in this trailer. M yeah, but I mean he's nowhere
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: near as good as he wasn't the menu, right, I
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: haven't watched that yet. Oh it's so good, I know,
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: but I have to be in a mood because again,
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: there's just a lot of like mean spirited violence in
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: it from what I understand, Like I wouldn't call it
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: mean spirited you say with that gro howl in your voice, Jonathan,
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: but doesn't instill a bunch of they all deserve it.
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: Still Still, um, I will watch it. I just haven't.
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: It hasn't. I haven't been in the correct mood for
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: it yet. We also had a trailer for The Machine,
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: which this is the trailer that I watched, and some
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: violence and it made me laugh because this this I
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: don't even want to spoil the moment in the trailer,
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: but this guy tries to shoot someone and he misses
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: and it causes a chain reaction that is so ridiculous
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: that I just laughed incredibly loud, out loud. Yeah, it
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: makes him more effective than James Bond, but only by accident. Yeah,
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: and the story and John can correct me if I'm wrong,
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: But is about like this comedian or this guy who
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: who accidentally befriended the Russian mafia and then this movie
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: picks up where he's kind of older and I guess
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: he has a family and his dad doesn't believe him.
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: But then the Russian Russian mafia calls on him again. Um,
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: it looks so dumb. Yeah, So the story behind it
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: is in case you've never seen so Bert Kreischer is
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: the comedian and he has this routine he does called
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: the Machine where he tells this story about how when
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: he was in college he went on a class trip
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: to Russia. He took Russian in college, was not a
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: very good student at all, Like this is part of
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: the routine. Barely speaks any Russian at all, hardly anything.
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: In fact, the only thing he really can say is
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: I am the Machine and on a train his class
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: ends up essentially hiring a member of the Russian mafia
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: to be kind of a guard for the class, to
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: make certain that they're able to pass safely through different
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: parts of Russia. And then the story goes that he
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: ends up befriending the mafia. They end up bringing him
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: on is almost kind of like a mascot. He ends
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: up getting incredibly drunk with him. They end up taking
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: him on a on an escapade to rob the train,
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: and he ends up participating in a train robbery with
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: the Russian mafia. This is all part of his comedy routine,
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: and it's a very funny routine. And then the movie
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: is a fictional version where like like Ariel was saying,
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: consequences from that train robbery from his college days come
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: back to hit him. And honestly, the bright spot for
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: me this trailer was just Mark Hamill being crazy. M
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: that was good. That was good. Um yeah, So Jonathan's like,
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: we can drop this if you want, but it looks
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, it just looks like a fun movie. And
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: it's not a superhero movie. You may not call it geeky,
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: but it's got yeah, Mark Hamill, so it counts. Yeah,
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: Mark Hamill. And for comedy geeks out there, it's a
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: movie that was inspired by a routine, a comedian routine,
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: last stand up comedian. True. So yeah, check out the trailer. Um,
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: it's it's like if John Wick were absolutely goofy uh.
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: And now we get to the part of the show
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: where Jonathan made me watch a scary trailer. Yeah, it's
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: it's almost as regular a segment as thirty seconds or
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: less at this point. Yes, this one though, I expected
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: to hate it, and I didn't it's for the movie
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: The Pope's Exorcist, which stars Russell Crowe. I was really
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: upset because I thought originally this was going to be
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: about the Pope taking aerobics. That's an exercisest. Yeah, or
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: I didn't read it properly. Well, you could have also
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: thought that he was like an ex orchist, or I
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: could have thought that he was that his job is
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: to actually exorcize the Pope, like he's there to banish
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: the Pope like every every two and a half years,
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: sup Pope just needs a little tidy up. Um. Yeah,
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: you just see some smoke above the Vatican. You're like, huh,
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: they got exercised again. Yeah, so this is this is
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: about um uh. They say it's it's based on on
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: like true events, but I'm not familiar with the events.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: So it's based on files in the Vatican, which I
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: can might as well say this is based on you know,
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: random stuff. Anyhow, this guy, he's an exorcist. But like
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: at the beginning of the trailer, they actually say a
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: good number of people he recommends go to like specialists
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: like mental like mental and physical healthcare providers, which is
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: pretty cool. Um, but every once in a while, there's
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: just something that's really evil, and he goes about him
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: like fighting this evil and hunting this evil and this
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: evil evil wanting to uh, uh god, what is it?
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: It's not not exercise him. They don't possess thank you. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: it's it's un folds in the trailer that this one
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: particular demonic force uh specifically wants to confront this this
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: priest and that he the or he the it, the
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: demonic presence specifically has a plan for this Exorcist, and
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: that that it's a trap essentially, that it's it's an
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: attempt to get the Exorcist to come to this location.
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: And I don't like, there's definitely gonna be scary stuff
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: in it, and there's definitely gonna be gross stuff in it,
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: because there can't not be right. Yeah, but it kind
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: of like the trailer kind of gave me almost like
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: an Indiana Jones or Da Vinci's Notebook or like a
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: legend of King Arthur Field to many portions of it
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: that intrigued me. It definitely, So there were clear nods
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: to the film The Exorcist, like the the Linda Blair
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: movie that yeah, yeah, definitely, Yeah, like you see stuff
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: and like, Okay, well this is like a reference to that.
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: So is this so to the point where there were
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: so many elements in the trailer where I was thinking,
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: this looks like they decided to take some of the
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: most effective moments in the Exorcist and rather than have
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: a very slow movie. Because The Exorcist is a long
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: and slow moving film that's all meant to build tension
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: throughout the film, but it's not fast moving. This one
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: looks like it's gonna be way faster, and I'm not
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: sure that that means better. Maybe for some audience, as
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: it will, but for me it doesn't work so well because,
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: like you, I felt like there was almost like, take
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: the Exorcist and mix it with an epic fantasy film
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: and yeah, something like this. And as I was watching
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: and I was like, I don't know if I'm gonna
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: like this one. I love the Exorcist though. That's the thing.
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: It's like, it's the Exorcist and The Exorcist three, two
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: very very different movies, both of which I think are masterpieces.
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: I haven't should never be watched. I have not watched
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: The Exorcist three. The Exorcist, I think it is a masterpiece.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: I also, pardon me, would never watch it for fun. Um,
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: it's not fun to me, but this one seems fun.
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: So but you know, that's why we have different kinds
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: of movies, because something's appeal to you and some things
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: appeal to me. And I think I said Da Vinci's Notebook,
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: but I meant the Da Vinci Code instead of instead
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: of the a cappella band. Yes, yes, yeah, speaking of
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: things that are scary, Actually this is not scary at all. Um.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: I came across an article looking for Things this week
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: where James Cameron kind of compared himself to Tolkien and
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: Peter Jackson and with his Avatar series, and I kind
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: of I came to this party to gripe, but I
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: think his efforts and his mindset are good, even if
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: he himself said it might be a little cheeky to
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: compare himself to Tolkien and to Peter Jackson, who created
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: the Lord of the Rings in the Hobbit movies, and
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: Hobbit movies should have only been one movie if that.
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: But and I love the Hobbit. But he was talking
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: about like how he wants to create this expansive world
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: in this long ranging story and to do that, he can't.
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: He can't be Peter Jackson without being Tolkien first, Like,
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: he's got to create this world. He's got to create
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: these stories that people invest in and this great expanse,
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: and then he can create a great expansive movies. He
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: doesn't want to just create movies to create movies. He
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: wants it to be something. I really I think that's
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: a noble goal. And I really wish that his Avatar
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: stories appealed to me. Yeah, I see what he's saying
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: in the sense that Peter Jackson took pre existing epic
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: literature in the form of Lord of the Rings, created
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: by a linguist who was hell bent on creating a
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: fantasy world where his various invented languages could inhabit, and
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: in the process created an extremely fleshed out mythology that
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: was very, very deep, far deeper than what you get
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: in Lord of the Rings. Even just reading the regular books,
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: not alone like the movies, have a good amount of
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: the mythology. The books have more, the pendices to the
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: books have even more, and then things like the Summarellian
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: and the Unfinished Tales have tons more material. Right, So,
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: so Peter Jackson had a lot to draw upon when
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: he was making the Lord of the Rings movies, and
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: James Cameron's point is, well, i'm making this. I have
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: to make the world and everything first, and then I
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: can make the movies adapted from that. It's just that
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: there's not a previous published version of the story because
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: I'm making it all up. And I get what he's saying,
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: and I agree with you, like I wish the Avatar
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: films appealed to me. That being said, you know, Avatar
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: still is the top grossing film of all time and
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: Avatar two is number three. Like, yeah, these are movies
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: that even in the United States, there hasn't been as
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: strong a fan base. Globally, these movies do great, and
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: I have theories on that, the big one being this
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: is a fully fictional universe that James Cameron has created,
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: and it doesn't take place on Earth, so nobody on
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: Earth is the like Earth humans are the bad guys.
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: But it's just humans are bad guys, not the Russians
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: are bad guys or the Koreans are bad guys. It's
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: nothing like that. So like, you can literally market this
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: anywhere on Earth and no one feels like they're being
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: singled out and being told they're the bad guys, and
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: therefore they have huge swellings of fans. And also, let's
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: face it, these stories are not complicated. They are not
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: complex story, so it's easy to translate them and localize
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: them across the world. Yeah, so I can't, you know,
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: I haven't watched Avatar Way of Water. I almost said
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: water World, Yeah, but I haven't watched it. And it's
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: it's not even that I don't want to give him
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: more opportunities to tell a good story because he might
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: get there. It might just not be there yet for me, right,
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: Like there might be a hook that he finds that
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: he digs into that is really really cool, and I
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: hope so. But the movies are so long, But that
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: is so much time investment for me for something that
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: like is more pretty than anything else. The first movie
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: to me, like, the story was okay, but it was
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: very pretty. But that's not enough for me to invest
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: two hours into. So I hope he gets there. I
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: really do. I think, like, I think it's a good
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: mindset to have. As much as you and I have
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: ragged on Avatar a little bit, you know, like you said,
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: it does well, I think I think that's a good
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: mindset to have. Um. Yeah, I think I think there's
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: no danger that you and I are going to even
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: even come close to impacting the bottom line for James
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: Cameron's cinematic universe. I don't think we will, but you know,
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: I want to. I want to make sure we're creating
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: a space for people to be excited, you know, for
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: for for the people who do listen, you know, to
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: be excited about the Avatar, if that's something they're excited about,
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: the excited about Avatar, and you know, and as a creator,
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: I want to encourage people to create things. And I
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: think I want to be encouraging and uplifting when I
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: think it's due. It's not always due, but when I
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: think it's due. So that's that's all it is. Well,
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: that's speaking about Token and speaking about Lord of the Rings. Yeah.
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: One of the news stories to break from Hollywood Reporter
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: was that Warner and New Line Cinema are planning on
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: creating more Lord of the Rings films. At first, I
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: thought this meant that they were going to reboot Lord
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: of the Rings and make a new Fellowship Two Towers
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: and Return of the King, which would have been interesting,
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: like they don't necessarily need it. But at the same time,
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: I'm like, well, we've seen other stories be remade like
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: more frequently than that, so if they really want to
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: do it, they can. I don't know that they're going
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: to come close to what we got with the original trilogy,
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: but sounds more like they're just going to make movies
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: set in the Middle Earth world. Maybe not even just
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: Middle Earth, because like it all depends on what age
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: you're talking about. Middle Earth is specifically like third age.
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: But you know, we're gonna get more movies. They can't
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: do series because those rights are owned by Amazon, but
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: they can do they can do films, and we're going
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: to get some more films. This shouldn't come as a
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: surprise because we already knew that Zaslov was really looking
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: for franchises that could just be licenses to print money
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: and existing franchises, yes, because you don't want to have
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: to establish one. That's hard. Don't establish a franchise, yeah,
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: I mean just extend an existing one like Harry Potter
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: or Lord of the Rings that's well, or Batman. I
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: can't like I will see most Batman movies, so I
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: can't be completely judge here, but I do think that
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: I think that things like Lord of the Rings specifically,
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: I think Harry Potter has run its course for a
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: multitude of reasons beyond not liking JK. Rowling. But you know,
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: I think Lord of the Rings thrives on having characters
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: that you you feel like you like. The movies to
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: me did so well because I had been on that
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: journey with those characters, and now I'm getting to like
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: be in that journey with those characters. The TV show
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: only kind of did that for me. I feel they
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: can do it, but I feel like it's going to
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: take a lot of I think it's going to take
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: a lot of work. It's going to basically be establishing
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: whole new, whole new people to invest in. You know.
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: It's it's gonna take a lot of work for it
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: to not feel like generic fantasy. Yeah, I think I
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: think you're right on the money there. Like I think
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: adapting Lord of the Rings had huge advantages over just
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: creating more material that happens to take place in the
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: same universe. That huge advantage is that you already had
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: the Lord of the Rings books, so you had a
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: base of people who were familiar with those books, and
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: the fans of those books became like the evangelists who
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: promoted this this movie and got lots of excitement out
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: about it because they were really excited about the film.
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: I remember when that first teaser trailer came out where
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: you saw the Fellowship Crest that Hills theaters broke out cheering,
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: so right, so good. The first time I saw it,
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: I was in the theater where like they tore the
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: roof off, and this wasn't just a teaser before we
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: even get to whatever movie we were watching, and um,
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: but that was the sort of thing where if you
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: were in that space and you were not already familiar
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: with Lord of the Rings, but you heard that reaction,
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: you'd be like, I have got to check this out.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: This is this amount of love for this thing. There's
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: got to be something there. And it's a lot harder,
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: even when you're building upon this existing world to bring
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: folks in if if you're not basing it off of
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: an actual established work set in that world, because the
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: fan base is going to be more suspicious, right they're not,
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: they're not automatically on board because it's a Middle Earth work.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: If it's not a direct adaptation of a Tolkien story.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: They're going to be a lot more cautious. They aren't.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: They aren't automatically infested. Suspicious might be the wrong word,
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: but they don't. That's fair. Well, I don't know suspicious
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: works for me. I don't want to project on the
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: everybody else. That being said, you know that being said.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: I if they are successful at this great because I
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: love I love the Lord of the Rings trilogy, I
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: love the Hobblit, I love Middle Earth. I actually enjoyed
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: Rings of Power for the most part, even though I
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: couldn't tell you half of their names, much like Avatar.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: Hey oh, but you know, if if it's successful, I
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: am excited. I am I am tentative on whether it
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: will be successful. But before this episode becomes epic Hobbit lengths,
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: we have a few more stories we should probably go
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: through a little bit quicker than we've been going. Sure,
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: So next up, we have info on one of the
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: casting choices for a live action adaptation of the Disney
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: animated film Leelo and Stitch. Zach Gallafanakis has been cast,
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: although we don't know as what. We don't know what
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: part he is playing, since Zach Gallafanakis. I'm assuming he's
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: one of the aliens, because it would be miscast of
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: epic proportion if he's playing a Hawaiian. Yeah. So, um,
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: I haven't talked about this because you know, in the
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: in the acting world, you don't you don't share information
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: that's not public knowledge. Right, there's lots of indias. I'm
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: not under ndia for this. I was not ever. I
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: didn't get to audition for Lelo and Stitch, but I
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: did see the casting call to come through because they
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: had a very wide casting call to find people who fit,
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: you know, people to fit the characters. I suspect that
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: he's going to be like the big dude, the big
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: alien dude. He could also be Plinky or whatever, the
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: one eyed guy. Yeah. Kevin McDonald played as the voice actor.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: So I like Lelo and Stitch and I am super
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: excited to have more more representation of that culture in films. However,
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: very much falls into that why is this live action?
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: Over half the characters are not. It's kind of like
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: when they had the quote unquote live action Lion King
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: and you're like, okay, well these are real, real uh landscapes,
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: but the animals are all cgium. I yeah, I don't.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: You know me, I am not a big fan of
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: these live action remakes of animated films. I am excited
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: about Lormer made because I was just abo That's the
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: one exception so far, because I feel like the changes
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: that they've made are ones that are interesting and they
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: intrigue me, and I'm excited about it. Leelo and Stitch, Like,
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: I love that cartoon. It's one of my wife's favorite
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: Disney movies. Stitch is probably her favorite Disney character. And
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: maybe that's it. Maybe I'm just maybe I'm too much
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: of a fan of the original and therefore any like
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: desire to remake it, just like the why. We already
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: have that movie and it's great. But who knows, maybe
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: this will be one of those live action remakes where
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: ultimately I'll say, you know, I don't think we needed it,
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: but it was good. I just it's rare for me
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: to say that. I agree. I like Stitch. I think
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: Stitch is one of my husband's favorite characters. Um, although
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: he did kind of Stitch did take kind of a
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: dip for me when they replaced Alien Encounters at Disney
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: World Magic Kingdom with the stitch experience, which is not that. No,
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: you much preferred the experience scary one that didn't fit
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: within the park. But yes, I did you get to
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: watch Alien Cruelty as a alien is terribly mangled in
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: a teleport machine. I mean I think I think it.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: I think the aliens retribution was called for um but
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: but um, yeah, maybe it'll be good. I just want
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: to go back to a little remating real quick for
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: anybody who is Anne of Green Gables or Anne of Avonlea.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: Fans like they're tiny brief got it Like a new
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: trailer recently is about it. I don't remember if we
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: talked about it last week where we got to see
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: a tiny little clip of Melissa McCarthy as Ursula, we
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: got to see a tiny little clip of Prince Eric.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: Prince Eric was given off like serious Gilbert blythe vibes
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: from like Anne of Avonlea. If you're a fan of that,
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: go back and watch it. You'll see it. And Ursula
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: you get to see just a little a little bit
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: of her face because her tentacle is going across and
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: blocking like half her face, and you get to hear
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: the laugh. But the laugh was perfect. Yeah, I got
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: to see that so on the small screen watching that trailer.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: The only thing like that hasn't gotten me is the
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: Mermaids Like top. They've changed it, admitted a little bit
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: more modest, which I'm totally fine with, but it just
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: feels cgi to me. It feels weird. It doesn't feel
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: quite right to me for some reason. But that trailer
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: on the big screen holds up. It is so good,
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: so good. Yeah, okay, three more quick stories. Call of
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: Duty is coming to Nintendo. Tell us why jan for
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: the next ten years. Okay, so I'll do the short
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: version of this. Microsoft last year announced that it was
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: going to acquire Activision Blizzard, which is a big video
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: game publisher. Activision Blizzard makes lots of different stuff, including
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: the Call of Duty series. Now over in the European Union,
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: there are some regulators there who are opposing the Microsoft acquisition.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: They could actually block it from happening, and the reason
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: for this is largely because Sony has been campaigning against
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: the acquisition. Sony doesn't want to see Activision Blizzard become
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: a Microsoft property, and the argument Sony has made is
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: that if this happens, they could turn all those titles
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: into being platform exclusive, and then we'll never get access
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: and it'll hurt competition in the industry. Microsoft has said,
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: that's ridiculous. We're going to keep selling these titles on
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: every console we can. We're not just going to keep
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: it to x Box. You don't have to worry about it.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: And Sony kept staying strong on this to the point
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: where that this deal is in very much real danger
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: of not going forward. So perhaps as a way to
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: try and steal some of the thunder from Sony, Microsoft
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: and Nintendo signed an agreement where Microsoft has guaranteed that
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: for the next ten years, the Nintendo platform will also
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: get every Call of Duty game the same day that
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: it comes out for every other platform like Xbox or PC,
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: and that it will have access to all of the
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: same content, it won't get a watered down version. And
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: this is really meant more to try and convince regulators, hey,
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: we want to play ball. In fact, we've invited Sony
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: to come and sign a similar deal, and they just
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: they won't answer our calls. So this is a bad
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: faith argument that Sony is making just to prevent us
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: from making the acquisition we want to make. So it's
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: very political and ultimately could end up being one of
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: those things that hurts gamers in the long run. I
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: don't know at this stage whether that acquisition is going
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: to be allowed to go through or not. It's it's
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: still a big question mark. Yeah. Also in Gaming News,
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: Sony gave us a state of Play with a lot
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: of looks at a lot of their games coming out,
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: including Destiny Too, Resident Evil four, which is bringing back
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: mercenaries mode, which I'm not familiar with because I haven't
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: played at Balder's Gate three, which yeah, Balder's Gate, but
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: also looks kind of like Diablo to me, and like
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: a new look at the Suicide Squad Killed the Justice
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: League video game, and Street Fighter six and a whole
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: bunch of good stuff. Honestly, the game that looked most
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: interesting to me is called The fog Lands, which is
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: described as a hunted first person shooter because it's got
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: a really interesting art style. Is that one of the
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: VR games? Yes? Yeah, because they had a lot of stuff.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: So the VR is kind of Sony's trying really hard
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: to regain the ground on VR because when they announced
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: the price tag for the VR two, it's like five
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty bucks for that, and you know that's
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: in addition to having a PlayStation five. It's really expensive,
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: and a lot of people heaped criticism on Sony, saying
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: this is making VR a really tough sell, but the
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: titles hopefully will help those who can afford to drop
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: a thousand dollars on a gaming system and a VR
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: peripheral to push it forward. That's one of the biggest
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: problems with VR is that it's just hard for developers
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: to justify making games because so few people in comparison
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: own the systems. I will say real quick, Suicide Squad
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: looks terrible to me. It does. Yeah, all the characters
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: seem to have very similar abilities, to the point where
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: besides their skins, they largely be behave the same way,
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: so you'll almost ask why do you bother? Plus, it
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: looks like they're floating in the air forever. Harley Quinn
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: for some reason, is able to grapple like she's Spider Man,
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: even if there's nothing for her to grapple onto. I
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: don't get it. It does not look it's sticky grease paint.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: Um uh. You know, if you want to watch the trailers,
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: will we'll post the i R. You can google it
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: or We'll post the IG article on the IGN article. Yeah,
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: the IGN article even um on our website www dot
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: large cider dot com, along with all of our show notes,
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: um aerials trying to barrel through because we've been over
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: an hour now. But I'm just gonna say one other thing,
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: which is that Balder's Gate three had spits where you
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: got to see a twenty side die on the screen
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: and made me happy. Yes, I mean, I think it
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: looks fun, but it also kind of looks like Diablo
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: to me. Okay, uh, I've never played Balder's Gate, but
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: I'm you know, I'm watching through the eyes boo, go
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: for the eyes. I'm watching three vox macha right now.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: Even though dn D has had a bunch of people
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: really met at them, I still enjoy the content. I
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: feel guilty about it. Yes, but show notes will be
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: on that website probably sometime a few days after you
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: listen to this, if you listen to it when it
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: comes out. I work on it this weekend, yes, um.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: And then Mortal Kombat twelve is coming out this year. Yeah.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: And this we found out in a way that's not
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: the typical way you find out through about big video
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: game releases. Typically, a video game company will hold an
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: event and then unveil it and then that gets gamers
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: all excited. In this case, the news was spilled by
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: David Zaslow of himself the zaz Daddy, as he was
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: on an earning call. Yeah, zazz Daddy was on an
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: earnings call with investors, and in the process he let
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: the cat out of the bag and explained that later
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: this year, Mortal Kombat twelve will launch. And I feel
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: like this is just one of those things where David
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: Zaslov doesn't have a real appreciation for how these these
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: projects typically get announced that because it takes it takes
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: like all the all the surprise out of it now,
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: And you know, I feel for everyone who was working
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: on Mortal Kombat twelve who was looking forward to a
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: big reveal surprising the fan base. I totally get that.
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: I totally get it from like a creator and being
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: passionate about it. But it's also Mortal Kombat twelve. Yeah,
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: but did you see the person that they said they
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: hinted could be in Mortal Kombat twelve. I didn't Homelander.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: Oh no, okay, cool for people who are excited about
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: that awesome I don't like the character of Homelander. Well,
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: that's why he's perfect for Mortal Kombat. Like, you want
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: to play a character who can beat up on Homelander.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: I guess so, I guess so. Um. If you have
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: thoughts on that or anything else we've talked about, you
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: should write us and tell us if you've made it
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: to Mount Doom with us, which is the end of
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: this episode, No mordor no Mount Doom. Yes, that's correct.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: I'm wasting so much time going back and forth in
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: my head, Jonathan, how can they reach out to us? Well,
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: are ya, how can they reach out to us? The
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: pirate thing is so an hour and fourteen minutes ago. Okay, fine.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: They can go and shop at their local store that
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: sells new and used vinyl, and you'll thumb through the
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: boxes until you find a strange blank vinyl sleeve that's
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: not of any particular color. You wouldn't be able to
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: name the color at all, but you'll know that that's
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: the right one, and you must go and purchase this vinyl.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: And if they charge you anything more than seven dollars
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: and seventy seven cents, you've you've been robbed, my friend.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: But then you take this vinyl home if you put
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: it on a turntable. If you do not have a
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: turn table, you're going to need to buy or borrow one.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: And you will place the needle the stylus of your
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: turntable on the third track on side B of this
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: blank disc, and there you will hear further instruction that
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: will lead you down the path where there is no
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: turning back. There is no way for you to atone
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: for the things that you must do once you follow
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: this path, So you better be certain when you start,
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: and at the end of it you will find me
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: and I will answer your questions. And if that just
• 1:14:37
