Speaker 1: The Large nerd Drunk Collider Podcast is a production of
0:10
Speaker 1: My Heart Radio. Hey everybody, welcome to the Large ner
0:21
Speaker 1: Drunk Collider Podcast, the podcast that's all about the geeky
0:24
Speaker 1: stuff happening in the world around us and how very
0:26
Speaker 1: excited we are about it. I'm Ariel casting and with
0:30
Speaker 1: me as always is we don't talk about Jonathan Strickland.
0:36
Speaker 1: I'm super thanks for asking. Oh man, Actually I like
0:41
Speaker 1: talking about you. You're my friend and I'm very proud
0:43
Speaker 1: of your accomplishments. Before we started recording, we were in
0:47
Speaker 1: a deep discussion about the Oscar broadcast version of We
0:52
Speaker 1: Don't Talk About Bruno, which uh, fittingly we will not
0:56
Speaker 1: be talking about in this podcast. But before we starts
0:59
Speaker 1: say and not talking about things, I have a question
1:03
Speaker 1: for you, Ariel. Okay, this week's question is a multiverse
1:12
Speaker 1: portal opens up. Who do you hope comes through the portal?
1:19
Speaker 1: So if I think about this too hard, I'm going
1:20
Speaker 1: to change my answers too many times. So I'm just
1:22
Speaker 1: gonna say doctor who like the ninth doctor doctor who
1:26
Speaker 1: like the Christopher doctor who, but not Christopher Eccleston, The
1:32
Speaker 1: Christopher Eccleston doctor who number nine that's who I want
1:36
Speaker 1: to come through. Um. Still one of my favorite two
1:40
Speaker 1: parters of Doctor Whoever, which is uh the Empty Child
1:43
Speaker 1: and the Doctor Dances. There's tons of like real people
1:47
Speaker 1: are fictional people I would love to meet, you know,
1:49
Speaker 1: but um, I think that's like, that's the that's the one.
1:53
Speaker 1: It appeals to my whisked away by an impish character
1:59
Speaker 1: Peter pay and complex thing which Aerial has had ever
2:03
Speaker 1: since I met her, which was it's true, It's true,
2:07
Speaker 1: which is more than twenty years ago at this point. Yeah. Yeah, Um,
2:12
Speaker 1: you know I thought about like maybe saying like Madeline Con,
2:15
Speaker 1: but she's passed away and I'm worried that, like you know,
2:19
Speaker 1: along Genie rules, if you're not very specific, I'd get
2:21
Speaker 1: like a zombie Madeling Con and that would be a
2:23
Speaker 1: lot less fun. I mean, it is multi verse, so
2:26
Speaker 1: multi multiverse could include could include a zombie verse, because
2:31
Speaker 1: I wouldn't seen that with the m c U anyhow.
2:33
Speaker 1: Who is your favorite character, Jonathan? Oh No, The person
2:36
Speaker 1: I would want to come through that multi multi verse
2:39
Speaker 1: portal that that there would be Kepta in America because
2:43
Speaker 1: I think we could really use like a a hero
2:47
Speaker 1: with a strong sort of moral center, and it would
2:50
Speaker 1: be nice to have America's asked me something that I
2:53
Speaker 1: don't mind looking at. I like it. That's clever. That's no,
2:59
Speaker 1: that's clever. And I can't argue. Um, I can't argue,
3:04
Speaker 1: but like, okay, So like the comic version or the
3:07
Speaker 1: Chris Evan version, or really just any version. I mean,
3:09
Speaker 1: it would have to be. It would have to be
3:11
Speaker 1: one of the versions, one of the versions where Captain
3:14
Speaker 1: America comes across as having like that super firm moral
3:20
Speaker 1: center where he's determined to do the right thing that
3:22
Speaker 1: he listens like. It has to be that one. It
3:25
Speaker 1: cannot be like like a new Center. No, um, but
3:31
Speaker 1: it has to be that one. It can't be like
3:33
Speaker 1: the Captain America in the more like one of the
3:35
Speaker 1: more recent runs where he appears to be a servant
3:40
Speaker 1: of Hydra like I don't want Like I get that
3:43
Speaker 1: that became a long con type thing, but I don't
3:45
Speaker 1: want that Captain America. You see, I just thought you
3:47
Speaker 1: were like saying, like a super firm, but is what
3:51
Speaker 1: I thought you were going to say. Chris Evans definitely
3:53
Speaker 1: falls into that category from what I understand. So let's
3:56
Speaker 1: just say it's the Chris Evans one. Okay, I mean
3:59
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't honestly don't know. I've not seen
4:01
Speaker 1: the dudes, but I've only seen a costume. Okay, moving on,
4:06
Speaker 1: we are going to talk about some fun news. We
4:09
Speaker 1: decided we weren't going to talk about the Oscars this week,
4:12
Speaker 1: but then there was kind of a tangential story that
4:16
Speaker 1: we couldn't resist. Yeah. So obviously all y'all out there
4:20
Speaker 1: know all about the slap because that became news as
4:23
Speaker 1: soon as it happened, and we we knew that this
4:26
Speaker 1: would not be the right place for us to chat
4:28
Speaker 1: about it. For one thing, we record on Tuesdays and
4:31
Speaker 1: we publish on Thursdays, which means that there can be
4:34
Speaker 1: other things that developed between when we record and when
4:37
Speaker 1: it publishes that make our takes, which are already not necessary,
4:41
Speaker 1: even more out of date. However, the tangential news is
4:45
Speaker 1: really cool, which is that we found out that Troy
4:48
Speaker 1: Coat served, the actor, the deaf actor who won an
4:53
Speaker 1: Academy Award first performance in Coda, also played a role
4:58
Speaker 1: in the Star Wars univer first that we weren't aware
5:01
Speaker 1: of until this week. Yeah, he played a Tuscan raider
5:05
Speaker 1: on the Mandalorian and he helped develop their sign language. So, um,
5:12
Speaker 1: when when you get to the point in like the
5:14
Speaker 1: Book of Boba Fett where Boba Fett is learning the
5:17
Speaker 1: sign language of the sand people, that's a language that
5:20
Speaker 1: was in part created by Troy Kutzer, And I'm like,
5:26
Speaker 1: that's that's fantastic. It gives like some legitimacy to the language.
5:32
Speaker 1: One of the things I always wonder about science fiction
5:36
Speaker 1: in general, and the Star Wars universe in particular, is
5:40
Speaker 1: how much actual structure is there to the fictional languages,
5:45
Speaker 1: Like are there actual rules and grammar and vocabulary in
5:50
Speaker 1: place or is it just you know, babbling for most
5:55
Speaker 1: of the the alien races, I honestly don't know the
5:57
Speaker 1: answer to that, But for this we know that there's
5:59
Speaker 1: some legit like language behind it. Yeah, I mean it
6:03
Speaker 1: seems like a lot of the languages that have really
6:06
Speaker 1: picked up do you have some rules? If you look
6:08
Speaker 1: at Klingon or I guess High Valerian is the one
6:11
Speaker 1: from Game of Thrones. I mean you can do those
6:14
Speaker 1: courses onto a lingo, so they obviously have some sort
6:17
Speaker 1: of grammatical rules. Um. Yeah, I don't know so much
6:20
Speaker 1: about the Jaws, though, like, I know who ten that's
6:23
Speaker 1: about it. Uh, people will say that there's grammatical rules
6:28
Speaker 1: for that or iwakis um you know, I I know
6:32
Speaker 1: that you you're a huge ring of the fan of
6:34
Speaker 1: You're a huge ring of the Lord of the Rings.
6:36
Speaker 1: You're a huge fan of the Lord of the Rings,
6:37
Speaker 1: and um, Like, I'm pretty sure there's a bunch of
6:42
Speaker 1: Tolkien was very, very detailed in everything, so I'm sure
6:48
Speaker 1: that his languages are legit. Well, he actually was a linguist,
6:51
Speaker 1: so he came to writing from the perspective of someone
6:55
Speaker 1: who studied and loves languages. So all his languages do
6:59
Speaker 1: have their own own rules and vocabulary. So yeah, that's
7:02
Speaker 1: that's definitely the case there. Yeah, but I love this,
7:05
Speaker 1: and especially because Mr Katzer said he did not want
7:08
Speaker 1: it to be a s L so he created a
7:10
Speaker 1: completely new sign language. And I just have been really
7:13
Speaker 1: loving the prevalence of deaf characters and signing in television
7:18
Speaker 1: shows and movies lately. Um, it's always something that's been
7:22
Speaker 1: interesting to me. It's never something that I've I've learned
7:25
Speaker 1: as fluently as I wanted, but it thrilled me when
7:29
Speaker 1: the Tuscan Raiders signed to each other to communicate. That's
7:33
Speaker 1: just amazing. Yeah, No, it's great to see more representation
7:39
Speaker 1: of these sorts of of cultures, even when they're the
7:44
Speaker 1: fictional versions of them. And like you say, we've seen
7:47
Speaker 1: more depictions with with deaf characters, often with deaf or
7:54
Speaker 1: hard of hearing actors placed in the roles. And obviously
7:57
Speaker 1: the more we see of that of people who come
8:00
Speaker 1: from that actual kind of experience representing it on screen,
8:04
Speaker 1: the better so that you have, you know, a legitimate,
8:07
Speaker 1: authentic representation and not just someone who's trying to copy it. Yeah,
8:13
Speaker 1: Like I'm super excited for Echo to come out that
8:15
Speaker 1: actress is actually deaf, she teaches children sign language, and
8:20
Speaker 1: she's also an ampute So like, just so much coolness there. Yeah,
8:29
Speaker 1: something something that I don't know. It was less cool
8:32
Speaker 1: to me, but maybe it wasn't to you. Jonathan. Is
8:34
Speaker 1: this deleted scene that's been released of the Joker from
8:39
Speaker 1: The Batman? Yes, now I still have not seen The Batman,
8:43
Speaker 1: but I've had something spoiled for me, like the fact
8:46
Speaker 1: that the Joker shows up in it um briefly at
8:49
Speaker 1: the end, But the Joker originally was going to have
8:52
Speaker 1: a longer sequence. It's like a five minute scene that
8:55
Speaker 1: was cut, and the the context is that the Batman
9:00
Speaker 1: had previously encountered the Joker or a man who is
9:05
Speaker 1: becoming the Joker. He's in the process of becoming that character,
9:08
Speaker 1: but isn't fully the Joker yet, and that man is
9:12
Speaker 1: incarcerated at Arkham. The Batman goes to visit him in
9:17
Speaker 1: an effort to get his perspective on the Riddler case.
9:21
Speaker 1: And the reason why I wanted to talk about this
9:24
Speaker 1: wasn't so much the idea of this version of the
9:27
Speaker 1: Joker appearing up in the Batman. I thought it was
9:29
Speaker 1: an interesting version, very disturbing, but that I thought this
9:37
Speaker 1: was yet another example of the Batman wearing its inspiration
9:43
Speaker 1: on its sleeve, because I think anyone who's seen the
9:48
Speaker 1: movies can tell you that Matt Reeves must have drawn
9:52
Speaker 1: a lot of inspiration from Zodiac, because the Riddler looks
9:57
Speaker 1: and behaves a lot like Zodiac. Uh. He must have
10:01
Speaker 1: drawn a lot of inspiration from Seven, and he must
10:05
Speaker 1: have drawn a lot of inspiration from Silence of the Lambs,
10:08
Speaker 1: because the sequence where the Batman goes to interview the
10:11
Speaker 1: Joker feels an awful lot like Jodie Foster's character going
10:16
Speaker 1: to talk to Hannibal Lecter. Yeah. So so I did
10:21
Speaker 1: see The Batman. Um uh and in the movie, since
10:28
Speaker 1: we've talked about the Joker does show up, it's it
10:30
Speaker 1: feels very inconsequential to me when he does in the movie,
10:35
Speaker 1: um and like, which is fine. The problem is, I
10:40
Speaker 1: love Silence of the Lambs. I think it's a fantastic movie.
10:43
Speaker 1: It's not it's it's a psychological thriller. Like it's scary,
10:47
Speaker 1: but it's not gory. It's not so and it has
10:49
Speaker 1: the potential to be. Um but I really like that movie. Seven.
10:54
Speaker 1: I haven't watched all the way through because of course
10:56
Speaker 1: it's very scary to me, and so do you act
10:57
Speaker 1: the same? Those movies are all very frightening and gripping,
11:02
Speaker 1: and I just found The Batman very very slow. Like
11:06
Speaker 1: it had good concepts, but everything was executed so slowly
11:09
Speaker 1: that even the salt like moments that they show in
11:11
Speaker 1: the trailers, by the time anything actually happened, I was
11:15
Speaker 1: so resigned to it happening that it didn't give me
11:19
Speaker 1: any sort of adrenaline rush whatsoever, which I think it
11:23
Speaker 1: didn't give me any sort of like feeling I guess, well,
11:29
Speaker 1: and and since I haven't seen it, obviously I don't
11:31
Speaker 1: have a reaction to it. It was more about me
11:35
Speaker 1: looking at the materials that I have seen and saying,
11:39
Speaker 1: I don't think I've seen a movie like this where
11:42
Speaker 1: I was so able to recognize the influences like this,
11:48
Speaker 1: like it doesn't hide it right, Like you watch this
11:51
Speaker 1: and you think, well, anyone who seen Zodiac is going
11:54
Speaker 1: to recognize that influence on The Riddler, anyone who's seen
11:58
Speaker 1: Silence of the Lambs is going to recognize the influence
12:01
Speaker 1: on that deleted Joker sequence, Like it's it's you know,
12:06
Speaker 1: you don't have to have gone to film school in
12:08
Speaker 1: order to recognize that, which is often the case. Like
12:11
Speaker 1: I'll watch videos where people are are deconstructing a scene
12:15
Speaker 1: in a movie and they start listing out the influences,
12:18
Speaker 1: and most of the time I'm like, uh, I never
12:20
Speaker 1: knew that this one. I'm like, huh, anyone would know that? Yeah? Yeah, um,
12:26
Speaker 1: it is interesting that, you know, they say that this
12:28
Speaker 1: is Batman's early days, which is obvious in the movie,
12:31
Speaker 1: and that it's it's kind of like an origin tale
12:33
Speaker 1: for the Rogues Gallery, except for when my husband and
12:36
Speaker 1: I watched this deleted scene. Having seen the movie. It
12:39
Speaker 1: feels like that's an origin story we'd want to see,
12:41
Speaker 1: And this scene makes it feel like they've skipped it
12:43
Speaker 1: a little bit, like they've skipped the interesting bits leading
12:47
Speaker 1: up to this point. Yeah, the commentary I've seen is
12:50
Speaker 1: that he's not the Joker yet. He has fallen into
12:53
Speaker 1: the acid, which explains his appearance and his deformities, but
12:58
Speaker 1: he hasn't adopted the Joe per persona yet. But yeah,
13:02
Speaker 1: I agree, like you're you're missing out on I mean,
13:05
Speaker 1: they're the That's a double edged sword, right, because on
13:08
Speaker 1: the one hand, we've seen a lot of origin stories
13:10
Speaker 1: for characters. Where do we need to see yet another
13:14
Speaker 1: one for that same character? But when it comes to
13:16
Speaker 1: the Joker, I think the only origin story we have
13:19
Speaker 1: is the the Tim Burton Batman film, um and all
13:23
Speaker 1: the others. Joker just shows up already a fully formed character. Yeah, well,
13:28
Speaker 1: I mean in in the heath Ledger version, so Batman
13:31
Speaker 1: begins said it. Anyhow, the Joker that heath Ledger played,
13:35
Speaker 1: he talks about his origin story, but much like Joker
13:38
Speaker 1: in the comics, it always changes. So I feel like
13:43
Speaker 1: I feel like unlike any other character. Albeit he's a
13:46
Speaker 1: very dementic character, and I often don't like his origin stories,
13:49
Speaker 1: like there is so much material to go with that. Uh,
13:55
Speaker 1: it's not like watching Uncle Ben die in Spider Man
13:58
Speaker 1: for the tenth time. Can always have a new Joker
14:02
Speaker 1: origin story. Yeah, I should also add that I I
14:04
Speaker 1: clearly left out Joker, which is another movie that gives
14:07
Speaker 1: us a Joker origin story that I forgot about. I
14:11
Speaker 1: heard a theory that that was not the actual Joker,
14:13
Speaker 1: but someone who is inspired by the Joker, but I
14:16
Speaker 1: haven't watched it. I heard it was No, it's no,
14:19
Speaker 1: it's a it's a movie. To me, that's just it's
14:22
Speaker 1: just another separate like it's it's like an offshoot kind
14:26
Speaker 1: of tale about a character who appears in in DC
14:29
Speaker 1: films but not meant to be part of the overall universe. Well,
14:33
Speaker 1: we've got a lot more stories to cover, so we're
14:36
Speaker 1: gonna have a double news segment in this episode. Before
14:38
Speaker 1: we get to that, let's take our a quick break. Okay,
14:53
Speaker 1: we're back, and we have one more piece of superhero
14:56
Speaker 1: news before we go onto some other interesting sort of stuff. Uh,
15:00
Speaker 1: and that's that Sharon Stone is going to be in
15:04
Speaker 1: Blue the Blue Beetle movie that's coming out, so one
15:06
Speaker 1: of the DC movies I'm actually really excited about. She's
15:10
Speaker 1: going to be a bad guy. We don't know which
15:12
Speaker 1: bad guy, but she's going to be apparently the primary villain,
15:16
Speaker 1: Victoria Cord, Who's I think she's a new villain. I
15:22
Speaker 1: somehow missed that when I read through that the news item.
15:25
Speaker 1: I looked through the whole thing and like, I guess
15:26
Speaker 1: we just don't know yet, but I stand corrected. Yeah,
15:31
Speaker 1: from the Hollywood reporter, Stone, who's character of Victoria Cord
15:34
Speaker 1: is a new creation for the film, previously journeyed into
15:37
Speaker 1: the realm of d C with the role in the
15:38
Speaker 1: ill fated two thousand forward Halle Berry film Catwoman. See
15:42
Speaker 1: that's why, That's why I don't remember reading it, because
15:44
Speaker 1: my my brain rejected everything once I saw Hallie Berry Gatwoman. Yeah,
15:50
Speaker 1: so we haven't heard a whole lot about Blue Beetle.
15:52
Speaker 1: That's far far other than Zolo May and Duanna um
15:58
Speaker 1: enya Um. Didn't look up how to pronounce his last
16:01
Speaker 1: name before we came on the show. I'm so so sorry.
16:05
Speaker 1: That's about on my part. He was he was He's
16:07
Speaker 1: the main character in Copra Kai. One of the main
16:08
Speaker 1: characters is playing Blue Beetle, but it's just Blue Beetle
16:14
Speaker 1: is a fun character. The the aesthetic that had gone
16:19
Speaker 1: for it is kind of like Neon Blade runnery and
16:23
Speaker 1: I'm I like that change from the from like the
16:28
Speaker 1: Justice League dark dark, dark, dark, shades of gray and brown.
16:33
Speaker 1: Yeah see the CPL League. Um, yeah, yeah, yeah, I
16:41
Speaker 1: I am a Blue Beetle fan. From the Justice League
16:44
Speaker 1: International days where the stories were really kind of zany.
16:48
Speaker 1: He and Booster Gold would get up to all sorts
16:51
Speaker 1: of shenanigans. Um. I don't know if the movie will
16:54
Speaker 1: go quite that silly as the comics, but if it does,
16:58
Speaker 1: I'm totally on board. I would love to get a
17:01
Speaker 1: Booster Gold in there. That would be great. I'm really
17:04
Speaker 1: hoping that the bat Girl series in this that they
17:08
Speaker 1: all kind of take a new and the Supergirl that
17:10
Speaker 1: they all take kind of like a new more young, younger, hipper, upbeat,
17:14
Speaker 1: sort of a take from what we've gotten thus far. Um. Also,
17:18
Speaker 1: I've got like a new appreciation for Sharon Stone. I
17:21
Speaker 1: recently finished Murderville on Netflix and she is hilarious. Oh
17:26
Speaker 1: past her denying phase. That's on my list of things
17:31
Speaker 1: I have to watch. But I've been stuck on our
17:34
Speaker 1: Flag Means Death and I haven't haven't finished that yet.
17:37
Speaker 1: So are you enjoying that? Because I know the first
17:40
Speaker 1: episode left you wanting a little bit. I'll say that
17:43
Speaker 1: the first two episodes, I was like, I'm not sure
17:47
Speaker 1: about this. Like I I enjoy the humor, but I
17:50
Speaker 1: feel like it's not going far enough. It's not hitting me.
17:54
Speaker 1: It's not hitting my funny bone the way what we
17:56
Speaker 1: do in the Shadows does. Then the third episode hit
18:00
Speaker 1: and it turned around for me. And the fourth episode
18:04
Speaker 1: I was a huge fan. Like the fourth episode that
18:09
Speaker 1: was where I was like, okay, okay, they were just
18:12
Speaker 1: doing kind of a slow build, Like it was still funny,
18:14
Speaker 1: there are plenty of jokes, it was kind of a
18:16
Speaker 1: slow build into the story, and by episode four I thought,
18:20
Speaker 1: all right, I'm on to use upon. I'm on board
18:23
Speaker 1: the rest of the way. That's good to know. Um,
18:27
Speaker 1: I was waiting to hear your thoughts on it before
18:29
Speaker 1: I tried it. But I'm definitely going to add that
18:31
Speaker 1: to my short list of things to try. I enjoyed Murderville. Um,
18:36
Speaker 1: they definitely go to some like blue based humor here
18:39
Speaker 1: and there, but overall it was quite enjoyable and fun
18:43
Speaker 1: um especially having come from an improv background and seeing
18:48
Speaker 1: seeing the things that they do, so um, yeah, I
18:51
Speaker 1: look forward to it. Something else I look forward to
18:54
Speaker 1: is getting a Dolly Parton vehicle, whether it's a a
19:00
Speaker 1: stage musical or a movie musical, because she's expressed interest
19:04
Speaker 1: in having that become a thing, and in fact was
19:06
Speaker 1: actively working on creating a stage musical before COVID. But
19:12
Speaker 1: she she fully admits that, you know, she's it's a
19:15
Speaker 1: difficult thing to do and she had not um completed
19:20
Speaker 1: it to her satisfaction, and I was thinking it might
19:22
Speaker 1: be better as a movie. And she even has someone
19:25
Speaker 1: in mind to play herself, which is Christian Chenowith, which
19:31
Speaker 1: I understand, but at the same time, Christian Channwith is
19:35
Speaker 1: usually when people cast other actors as themselves in a movie,
19:39
Speaker 1: which apparently Nick Cage wanted to do for the Unbearable
19:42
Speaker 1: Wait of Immense Challenge or whatever it is as well,
19:44
Speaker 1: but they didn't go for it. You usually cast a
19:47
Speaker 1: younger actor so they can portray young you, and then
19:49
Speaker 1: you age them up to portray older you. Christian Channwith
19:52
Speaker 1: is a gorgeous, talented lady, but she is definitely older,
19:56
Speaker 1: so I don't know she could play young Dolly Parton. Well,
20:01
Speaker 1: I mean, but I don't like. I don't think she
20:03
Speaker 1: could play Ryan Stone era Dolly Parton could do amazing things.
20:09
Speaker 1: Have you seen more? Bis? I mean, come on, I know,
20:13
Speaker 1: and I don't plan on it. Hold on, So Dolly
20:15
Speaker 1: Parton seventy six and Christi Kristen, this is happening. Yes,
20:25
Speaker 1: you guys, oh this is this is gripping, gripping audio.
20:29
Speaker 1: She's fifty three, so she is, you know, almost twenty
20:32
Speaker 1: years younger. But again, maybe Dolly's just starting with her
20:36
Speaker 1: her more adult years. I really like the woman I
20:39
Speaker 1: am Dolly Parton. I also would be looking forward to this.
20:43
Speaker 1: I would love to see who they had cast, assuming
20:45
Speaker 1: that they do the era where she was doing lots
20:48
Speaker 1: of collaborations. I'd love to see who they had cast
20:51
Speaker 1: as Linda Ronstadt because they were very close and were
20:56
Speaker 1: did did several albums together, and I think that could
21:01
Speaker 1: be a really interesting part. Although I mean her her
21:04
Speaker 1: life has had so much in it that it's kind
21:08
Speaker 1: of hard to pick and choose which bits you want
21:11
Speaker 1: to highlight in a biopic, So honestly, it's it's interesting
21:18
Speaker 1: to think about. I'm very curious what she views as
21:20
Speaker 1: being the pivotal moments of her life because she's famously
21:26
Speaker 1: self deprecating, very humble, um makes lots of jokes at
21:31
Speaker 1: her own expense, and she does so much community outreach
21:37
Speaker 1: work that I wonder like, like, how does someone who's
21:41
Speaker 1: like that, who you know from from at least everything
21:45
Speaker 1: I've heard, is not the kind of person to put
21:47
Speaker 1: herself out there in that way? What story does she tell?
21:52
Speaker 1: And that really is what fascinates me. Yeah. Yeah, if
21:55
Speaker 1: they were to cast Linda run Stat, I would think
21:57
Speaker 1: that it would either be Mila Kunitz if they're going
21:59
Speaker 1: to cast from actors I know as opposed to somebody
22:02
Speaker 1: knew Meli Kunitz, Valerie Curry, who was Dot in the
22:05
Speaker 1: latest version of The Tick for Amazon Prime, or the
22:08
Speaker 1: girl who um who's kind of young but she was
22:11
Speaker 1: in Koda and she was also the main daughter in
22:15
Speaker 1: um Lock and Key because she kind of looks like her,
22:19
Speaker 1: but she's a little young to be playing against Christian chenwith.
22:23
Speaker 1: It's it's a tough call because she's such a powerhouse
22:27
Speaker 1: singer to Lenda Ronstadt or she was um once she
22:32
Speaker 1: she got ild, that kind of part of her life
22:35
Speaker 1: was over. But a phenomenal singer. Um. Yeah, I am
22:40
Speaker 1: very curious about this, and of course I love I
22:42
Speaker 1: love Dolly Parton. So that's why we had to include
22:45
Speaker 1: this one in our Gee podcast. Yes. Uh, she's does
22:49
Speaker 1: so much good work. I love her too. Something else
22:52
Speaker 1: we both loved, I think is the good Omens TV
22:54
Speaker 1: show that Amazon Prime also did, Sure did. Yeah, and
23:00
Speaker 1: we know they're getting a season two, which I think
23:02
Speaker 1: at first was not the plan. And now Neil Gaiman
23:06
Speaker 1: is maybe teasing a season three as well, which what
23:11
Speaker 1: we don't even have season two yet, right, They've shot
23:15
Speaker 1: season two, but they haven't released it and there is
23:17
Speaker 1: no release date as of yet when that will come out.
23:21
Speaker 1: As as you say, Aerial, it was a surprise that
23:23
Speaker 1: we even got a season two because season one, uh,
23:27
Speaker 1: we just thought was just going to be a mini series,
23:29
Speaker 1: not a season that it was literally an adaptation of
23:32
Speaker 1: the book, which has an ending, and that's where the
23:37
Speaker 1: mini series ended. And so there's and in fact, you
23:40
Speaker 1: we got a little extra material in the mini series.
23:42
Speaker 1: There was some stuff that was added in that was
23:44
Speaker 1: not in the book. That was adorable, um, but there
23:49
Speaker 1: was no expectation for continuation of the story, and then,
23:53
Speaker 1: to our surprise and delight, we found out we were
23:55
Speaker 1: getting it. And now someone has essentially seen a message
23:59
Speaker 1: on Twitter to Neil Gaiman saying what are the chances
24:03
Speaker 1: that you have enough material to do a season three?
24:05
Speaker 1: And he says the chances are very very good. And uh,
24:08
Speaker 1: I don't know how many people out there are familiar
24:10
Speaker 1: with the way Neil Gaiman communicates, but he's the kind
24:14
Speaker 1: of guy who if you asked him will there be
24:17
Speaker 1: another season and there was no chance he would straight
24:20
Speaker 1: up tell you that, you think, oh, yeah, No, Neil
24:25
Speaker 1: Gaiman is the kind of person who would say, like,
24:27
Speaker 1: we've told the story we wanted to tell, and it's
24:30
Speaker 1: time to turn to other things. He's not the kind
24:32
Speaker 1: of person to push for sequels if he doesn't think
24:36
Speaker 1: there's more story to tell, and in fact he is.
24:40
Speaker 1: He has expressly done the opposite where he said, no,
24:44
Speaker 1: that story is told and anything beyond that is best
24:47
Speaker 1: left up to each individual person, rather than, you know,
24:51
Speaker 1: forcing another sequel, which I do appreciate because initially I
24:55
Speaker 1: thought not being as familiar with Neil Gaiman. I initially
24:59
Speaker 1: thought that maybe he just didn't want to detract from
25:01
Speaker 1: the excitement of season two. Um, but the article on
25:05
Speaker 1: screen Rant seems to think that they might pull from
25:07
Speaker 1: ideas that Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman had for another
25:10
Speaker 1: book that never got published, which is very exciting. Yeah.
25:15
Speaker 1: That's always odd to me where authors take work that
25:18
Speaker 1: it may be completely unconnected originally two uh to a work,
25:24
Speaker 1: and then adapted so that it becomes a sequel. Uh.
25:27
Speaker 1: I imagine that's got to be very challenging to do
25:30
Speaker 1: in a way where it feels like a natural fit. Yeah,
25:34
Speaker 1: I would agree, but I guess we'll just have to
25:36
Speaker 1: wait and see. I do look forward to watching season
25:38
Speaker 1: two and season three if it actually ever comes out. Um. Yeah,
25:43
Speaker 1: and also Sandman, which is being worked on. So yes,
25:46
Speaker 1: I'll be a Netflix series that I'm excited to see.
25:49
Speaker 1: One last thing I want to talk about with you, Ariel,
25:52
Speaker 1: that's the trailer for a duel. Do you l because
25:58
Speaker 1: I watched this trailer, Jonathan, did you Uh? That's exciting
26:04
Speaker 1: because it looks like like it looks like my cup
26:06
Speaker 1: of tea. I don't know how you feel. About it.
26:08
Speaker 1: It is a science fiction dark comedy concept and it's
26:15
Speaker 1: it's a strange one. Uh. It's set in a world
26:19
Speaker 1: where it's like a near future where human cloning has
26:24
Speaker 1: become a thing, and apparently there is now kind of
26:28
Speaker 1: a cultural acceptance at the thought of buying yourself a clone.
26:35
Speaker 1: Let's say that you get um diagnosed with a terminal illness.
26:39
Speaker 1: You can purchase a clone of yourself to take your
26:43
Speaker 1: place after you pass away, presumably to ease everybody else,
26:48
Speaker 1: like to two, so that there's like an unbroken experience
26:53
Speaker 1: for all the loved ones in your life. Even though
26:55
Speaker 1: you yourself will be dead. This is not a case
26:57
Speaker 1: of you having your brain scooped out and put into
27:01
Speaker 1: a clone body. You will still be gone. Yeah. And
27:04
Speaker 1: in the trailer, the woman Karen Gillen, who finds out
27:07
Speaker 1: she's going to die and buys a clone, then finds
27:09
Speaker 1: out that she isn't going to die. And this is
27:12
Speaker 1: why I said, are you sure it's d u a L.
27:14
Speaker 1: Because then the rule is, apparently by the people who
27:18
Speaker 1: make the rules in this world, that you can't have
27:21
Speaker 1: the person and the clone alive, and so there has
27:23
Speaker 1: to be a battle to the death a d U
27:25
Speaker 1: E L. Yes, and uh, it looks so good. It
27:31
Speaker 1: looks really dark, like dark comedic. Like it's not dark
27:37
Speaker 1: as in like dark and gritty, but like, I mean,
27:39
Speaker 1: that's a pretty heavy concept, right, this idea of you
27:42
Speaker 1: have to fight yourself to the death because society says
27:47
Speaker 1: there can't be two of you because and I quote
27:49
Speaker 1: the trailer here, that would be weird. Yeah, yeah, it
27:55
Speaker 1: does look dark. It also looks funny. It gives me
27:57
Speaker 1: vibes of like Asthma or Heinlin or any of the
28:01
Speaker 1: the science fiction writers I grew up on, just because
28:04
Speaker 1: they did have like really dark premises and really engaging stories. Um, yeah,
28:11
Speaker 1: I get serious hind line vibes off this. M hmmm.
28:17
Speaker 1: And not just because we're both in All Use Zombies,
28:19
Speaker 1: which is a woman who herself and has her own baby. Yeah. Well,
28:27
Speaker 1: spoiler alert, every character and All Use Zombies is the
28:30
Speaker 1: same person, every single character. Yeah, it's just the same
28:33
Speaker 1: person in different parts of the timeline that I'll get
28:35
Speaker 1: mixed up into a paradox Um, what if this movie
28:39
Speaker 1: is actually All Use Zombies and they just didn't want
28:42
Speaker 1: to rut route the story with the time. It seems
28:47
Speaker 1: pretty different to me, but yeah, we'll have to check
28:49
Speaker 1: it out. I am looking forward to that. Something else
28:52
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to in the very near future is
28:55
Speaker 1: our mash ups. When we come back, we'll explain what
28:58
Speaker 1: we picked and why. But first let's take a quick break, okay,
29:18
Speaker 1: ariel Uh. One of the two things we picked to
29:23
Speaker 1: to mash up today is More Bious because we're starting
29:28
Speaker 1: to hear early reports of of reviews of More Bious
29:34
Speaker 1: that are, let us say, a bit critical. Um. And
29:37
Speaker 1: by the time this episode comes out, the movie will
29:40
Speaker 1: be out the following day. It's it's released date is
29:43
Speaker 1: April one, um. And yeah, early word has not been positive. No,
29:49
Speaker 1: it's it's been like it's not even like so so
29:52
Speaker 1: like eternals. It's just the movie has been hanned. This
29:56
Speaker 1: is one of those times where not being able to
29:58
Speaker 1: see the Tomato rating ahead of time is probably I
30:01
Speaker 1: don't even know if it would help on Rotten Tomatoes
30:04
Speaker 1: because of how much this movie has It's gone around
30:07
Speaker 1: that this movie isn't good. It's just apparently has suffered
30:10
Speaker 1: from bad edits bad writing, bad times, bad c G.
30:16
Speaker 1: I I've talked about this before. Jared Letto might be
30:20
Speaker 1: perfectly fine, but I don't care for his version of
30:22
Speaker 1: method acting. Um. Yeah, let's let's say that he's controversial
30:26
Speaker 1: and leave it at that. Yeah. Also, I mean it's
30:28
Speaker 1: it's the first time I've seen people specifically call out
30:32
Speaker 1: mid credits and post credits scenes as being equally bad
30:38
Speaker 1: or in some cases verse. Yeah, that's like ten seconds
30:42
Speaker 1: you need to make good. It's that's That's the astounding
30:46
Speaker 1: bit to me, because I do like the other the
30:49
Speaker 1: other bits that have been in the Sony universe. I'm
30:53
Speaker 1: really surprised that the credits are not liked um and
30:57
Speaker 1: I'm saddened by it. But the other um item we picked,
31:04
Speaker 1: we picked specifically because of a character who has a
31:08
Speaker 1: name that sounds like Morbus. And then Ariel remembered that
31:11
Speaker 1: we also could have added Loki in here and had
31:13
Speaker 1: Mobius in the mix, but we were talking about the
31:15
Speaker 1: matrix with Morpheus. H But we also have another news
31:19
Speaker 1: item that plays into this, because one of the news
31:22
Speaker 1: items that we considered covering in the beginning was that
31:26
Speaker 1: there's word that Marvel is developing a project about the
31:31
Speaker 1: the comic book character Nova. Whether it's a mini series
31:35
Speaker 1: or a movie, we don't know. And Ariel, what did
31:38
Speaker 1: you say? I said, I was sure that we knew
31:41
Speaker 1: that they were working on a Nova story, Like I
31:42
Speaker 1: thought we got that news after Guardians of the Galaxy
31:45
Speaker 1: to maybe when Disney did their giant pre d Plus
31:50
Speaker 1: event on Everything, Marvel, Everything, Star Wars, Everything will Owe, Everything,
31:54
Speaker 1: everything else that we are getting on Disney Plus, like
31:57
Speaker 1: I thought for sure Nova was in the mix, like
32:00
Speaker 1: I thought it was Echo and Nova and then there
32:03
Speaker 1: was one other who I can't remember at the moment.
32:05
Speaker 1: So apparently I am just I'm in the Matrix and
32:08
Speaker 1: I'm glitching. Um yeah, the Little Black Cats is crossing
32:13
Speaker 1: our path over and over again. Um yeah, maybe you
32:16
Speaker 1: were thinking of Warlock because he was in well he's
32:20
Speaker 1: referenced and Guardens the Galaxy too, like I was thinking
32:25
Speaker 1: of like the helmet like with the red half star
32:28
Speaker 1: on it. Yeah. Well, uh, we're not going to talk
32:32
Speaker 1: about Nova, but we are going to talk about the
32:34
Speaker 1: Matrix and mash those up. And um, who would you
32:38
Speaker 1: like to go first? Ariall? I will go first because
32:42
Speaker 1: mine's shorter, real quick. If you aren't familiar with more Bus,
32:46
Speaker 1: he gets a blood disease. And then if you haven't
32:48
Speaker 1: watched your trailers. He injects himself with that something and
32:52
Speaker 1: then he becomes a vampire. We talked about a living vampire,
32:57
Speaker 1: and we talked about um. We've talked about Matrix enough
33:00
Speaker 1: that you can just go back and watch one of
33:01
Speaker 1: our other episodes if you want. I'm sorry if you're
33:05
Speaker 1: just open your eyes because that those cultural references are everywhere. Yes, yes,
33:12
Speaker 1: the title has nothing to do with my mashup, but
33:14
Speaker 1: it's called All Aboard the Morphebious Strip like Mobius strip,
33:21
Speaker 1: mainly because I almost wrote Mobius asaid Morpheus at the beginning. Okay,
33:25
Speaker 1: so one day Morpheus was in the Matrix trying to
33:29
Speaker 1: find the One and fighting machines and all of that
33:32
Speaker 1: stuff that he normally did when he encountered a glitch
33:35
Speaker 1: that he never had before, and by that I mean
33:37
Speaker 1: Agent Smith bit him. Morpheus was confused by this seemingly
33:41
Speaker 1: non legal attack, but seemed no worse for wear after
33:44
Speaker 1: escaping the agent and went about his task of finding
33:46
Speaker 1: the One. As he searched, he started feeling sick, but
33:49
Speaker 1: he didn't let it deter him. Surely it was just
33:51
Speaker 1: nerves from the oddity of being bitten by an agent.
33:54
Speaker 1: Once his target was acquired, he pulled out the normal
33:57
Speaker 1: red and blue pill to offer the potential save here.
33:59
Speaker 1: But this time there was a third pill pill that
34:01
Speaker 1: appeared in his hand, and this one was pale with
34:03
Speaker 1: a dark liquid inside. Between feeling sick and this new
34:07
Speaker 1: pill variant, Morpheus couldn't take it anymore. He quickly had
34:10
Speaker 1: Tank pull him out of the matrix, but when he
34:12
Speaker 1: came to aboard the Nebuchanezar, he realized he still had
34:15
Speaker 1: three pills in his hand. Tank said, Uh, you don't
34:18
Speaker 1: look so good, are you okay? And Morphys said, yeah,
34:20
Speaker 1: of course, and he quickly pocketed the pills and dashed
34:22
Speaker 1: to his bunk. That night, when the rest of the
34:24
Speaker 1: crew was asleep and the ship was docked in Zion,
34:26
Speaker 1: Morpheus sat awake in his bunk, eyes hurting from the
34:28
Speaker 1: fluorescent light of the room, staring at this new pill,
34:31
Speaker 1: wondering if maybe this third option was better than reality
34:34
Speaker 1: your life in the matrix. It would have to be,
34:36
Speaker 1: wouldn't it. Maybe it was just the feverishness talking. Morpheus
34:40
Speaker 1: pocketed the pill again, and in the morning, when he
34:42
Speaker 1: wasn't looking or feeling better, he was taken to a
34:44
Speaker 1: doctor in Zion who was able to determine that Morpheus
34:47
Speaker 1: had acquired a nannite blood disease from Agent Smith's bite,
34:51
Speaker 1: and sadly, there was no cure and Morpheus was sent
34:54
Speaker 1: back to his bunk to rest. However, when he got there,
34:57
Speaker 1: that's not what he did. Instead, now with nothing to lose,
35:01
Speaker 1: Morpheus pulled out the third sickly looking pill and downed it.
35:04
Speaker 1: He instantly felt better, and not just like not sick,
35:07
Speaker 1: but fully better, better than he had ever been before.
35:10
Speaker 1: His hearing was better, he had quicker than normal reflexes,
35:13
Speaker 1: which was his reflexes were already pretty good. I mean,
35:15
Speaker 1: it was Morpheus, and that's as far as he got
35:18
Speaker 1: before he passed out. When he came to, he wasn't
35:21
Speaker 1: in Zion, and he wasn't on the Nebucannezzar. He thought
35:24
Speaker 1: maybe he was in the matrix, but something seemed different.
35:29
Speaker 1: He was in New York City, and with each person
35:32
Speaker 1: he passed, he got hungrier and hungrier, until he realized
35:35
Speaker 1: he was thirsting for their blood. He saw a bad
35:37
Speaker 1: guy breaking into a bank and thought it was a
35:39
Speaker 1: good opportunity, so he dragged the bad guy into an
35:41
Speaker 1: alley and quenched his thirst It's then that Morpheus realized
35:45
Speaker 1: the morbidity that he was a vampire. He changed his
35:48
Speaker 1: name to Morbus and started a new life and mostly
35:51
Speaker 1: only killed bad guys. What he never found out and
35:53
Speaker 1: never knew, was that he was still in the Matrix,
35:55
Speaker 1: and he was v one, and he was infected with
35:58
Speaker 1: nannites to thirst after the life course of everything the
36:00
Speaker 1: machines held dear, and that he would one day single
36:03
Speaker 1: handedly liberate Zion once and for all. C end do
36:09
Speaker 1: not have time to super research, Morbius. Okay, well you wait,
36:14
Speaker 1: wait till you hear mine, because my lack of research
36:17
Speaker 1: is part of my story. Um No, I liked it.
36:20
Speaker 1: I like the fact that there was also the crossover
36:22
Speaker 1: into like a different uh New York, because I also
36:27
Speaker 1: have a multiverse element in mine. Up. Mine is titled
36:32
Speaker 1: Going Back in the Matrix. Dr Michael Morbius has a problem,
36:39
Speaker 1: and it's that his movie is apparently not very good.
36:42
Speaker 1: I mean, when people complain about the mid and post
36:45
Speaker 1: credit sequences, you know you're in trouble. So here's our protagonist,
36:50
Speaker 1: a living vampire, trying to keep his spirits up while
36:52
Speaker 1: reading lots of negative early reviews, and one day while
36:56
Speaker 1: doing his best to you know, do vampire and stuff.
36:59
Speaker 1: While not thinking about a score of his film on
37:02
Speaker 1: Rotten Tomatoes, he notices weird things in the world around
37:05
Speaker 1: in Sometimes he sees bats but they're flying backward, or
37:09
Speaker 1: the same black cat just keeps on going past him
37:11
Speaker 1: over and over and over again. It's almost like almost
37:14
Speaker 1: like he's seeing little glitches. And it's on one of
37:17
Speaker 1: those days when a bunch of goons sent by doctor
37:20
Speaker 1: who are after him. Uh, because Matt Smith is in
37:25
Speaker 1: more obous, a bunch of hoogoons are after him. So
37:29
Speaker 1: he ducks into a cave and he comes across something
37:31
Speaker 1: unusual in the cave because it's like a phone, you know,
37:34
Speaker 1: like an old fashioned telephone, complete with a wire that
37:38
Speaker 1: goes into the cave wall. And the phone's ringing, so,
37:41
Speaker 1: you know, he picks it up, because that's what you
37:43
Speaker 1: do with these old phones. He picked them up, and
37:45
Speaker 1: on the other end he hears a voice. Listen carefully,
37:49
Speaker 1: says the voice. You have a choice to make. You
37:51
Speaker 1: can either run out of that cave right now, dash
37:54
Speaker 1: into the woods, follow the path that leads to a
37:57
Speaker 1: cliff's edge and leap off, or you could be caught.
38:02
Speaker 1: That doesn't sound like much of a choice, says morbious.
38:06
Speaker 1: But he can hear that the hoogoons are closing in
38:08
Speaker 1: on him, so, resisting the urge to ask who the
38:11
Speaker 1: heck is on the phone, or how the heck the
38:13
Speaker 1: phone got into a cave, he just hangs up and
38:15
Speaker 1: runs out of the cave, and he does so just
38:18
Speaker 1: as the coons happened to be looking the other way,
38:20
Speaker 1: so his escape is unnoticed at first, and he plunges
38:23
Speaker 1: into the woods, immediately spotting a path with his heightened
38:25
Speaker 1: vampire senses, which I assume he has, but I don't
38:28
Speaker 1: know because I haven't seen the movie. And he runs
38:31
Speaker 1: down the path, and in the distance he can hear
38:33
Speaker 1: that the goons have figured out he's not in the cave.
38:37
Speaker 1: The path leads him to a cliff's edge, just as
38:39
Speaker 1: the voice on the phone had said, and he runs
38:41
Speaker 1: right up to the edge, and then he stops himself teetering,
38:44
Speaker 1: debating about this, and the bottom of the cliff is
38:47
Speaker 1: nothing but jagged rocks and brush, But he can hear
38:50
Speaker 1: the goons organizing in the distance, so he backs up
38:53
Speaker 1: a few paces, takes a moment to steady himself maybe
38:56
Speaker 1: he takes a breath, but I don't know, because he's
38:59
Speaker 1: a vampire. Maybe he doesn't breathe, but he's a living vampire,
39:02
Speaker 1: so maybe he does. Anyway, he takes a running leap
39:05
Speaker 1: off the edge, and he leaps out pretty far, and
39:07
Speaker 1: we see this happen in slow motion, probably blurry slow
39:11
Speaker 1: motion based on the reviews I've read, and I bet
39:13
Speaker 1: there's some really bad c g I mixed in there too.
39:16
Speaker 1: And then there's this weird shimmering effect as the arc
39:18
Speaker 1: of his jump leads to him falling, and he vanishes
39:21
Speaker 1: in midair with a weird digital flash effect. Morbus finds
39:25
Speaker 1: himself falling a short distance to a perfectly white floor,
39:29
Speaker 1: which knocks the breath out of him, unless he doesn't breathe,
39:32
Speaker 1: in which case it doesn't. Anyway, he gets up and
39:34
Speaker 1: he looks around and he's in this featureless white void
39:37
Speaker 1: of a room. But part of the white void splits open.
39:40
Speaker 1: It's it's actually a door that's opening up, and into
39:43
Speaker 1: this white expanse steps a man dressed all in black
39:47
Speaker 1: with black sunglasses and a cool haircut. Hello, Morbous, says
39:51
Speaker 1: the man. My name is Mio Neo. Sorry got confused,
39:56
Speaker 1: and he pauses if this is supposed to mean something
39:59
Speaker 1: to more be As, but Morbus is clearly not in
40:01
Speaker 1: the loop here. Okay, never mind the Neo stuff. Long
40:05
Speaker 1: winded philosophical monologues were never my bag. We need you, Morbius,
40:09
Speaker 1: says Neo. We says Morbius, Well, the Earth humans, like
40:16
Speaker 1: everyone whoa, we need you. We've had, let's call it,
40:20
Speaker 1: a recent opening in our ranks, and we could use
40:23
Speaker 1: someone of your particular abilities on our side, says Neo.
40:26
Speaker 1: I'm still not following, says Morbius. Well, of course you're not.
40:30
Speaker 1: I'll try to explain. There are numerous realities, all existing
40:33
Speaker 1: very close to one another but not quite touching. Yours
40:37
Speaker 1: is the one that recently folded onto another reality, says Neo.
40:42
Speaker 1: All right, says Morbus. I bet that's why at least
40:45
Speaker 1: one of my credit sequences covers. But I'm not about
40:48
Speaker 1: to give spoilers here, so I can't say for certain,
40:50
Speaker 1: but it seems like a pretty good bat our reality.
40:54
Speaker 1: This reality is another one, says Neo, one that doesn't
40:58
Speaker 1: quite intersect with you words. But here in this reality
41:02
Speaker 1: things are complicated. Well, things are pretty complicated back home too,
41:07
Speaker 1: says Morbious, who doesn't quite seem to believe the spiel easiering. Indeed,
41:12
Speaker 1: says Neo. Here most of humanity is cut in a
41:15
Speaker 1: virtual simulation of reality created by a network of machines
41:19
Speaker 1: that use human bodies as a source of energy. Well, see,
41:24
Speaker 1: that just doesn't make sense, says Morbous. I mean, when
41:26
Speaker 1: you factor into how much energy you need in order
41:29
Speaker 1: to keep a human alive, the net output that you're
41:31
Speaker 1: bound to get is going it is going to be
41:34
Speaker 1: less than what you're putting in there just to you know,
41:37
Speaker 1: support the person. So you're actually operating at a net
41:39
Speaker 1: loss from an energy standpoint. And even if you could
41:43
Speaker 1: get a net positive, humans would be a really bad
41:47
Speaker 1: choice because they'd be likely to resist this. It would
41:49
Speaker 1: literally make more sense to just wipe out humanity and
41:53
Speaker 1: you know, use your energy source with I don't know, cows,
41:58
Speaker 1: because you could just create like a virtue, the reality
42:00
Speaker 1: of a field for cows and you'd be fine. Yeah, Okay, sure,
42:05
Speaker 1: there's enough room to criticize both of our worlds in
42:07
Speaker 1: this mash up, says Neo. But what I'm really getting
42:10
Speaker 1: at is that a small group of humans have broken
42:12
Speaker 1: free of the simulation the matrix, if you will. And
42:16
Speaker 1: we are attempting to either free everybody else all of humanity,
42:20
Speaker 1: or just strike up a ceasefire with the machine so
42:23
Speaker 1: that a few of us can live in peace. It
42:25
Speaker 1: really depends upon which movie in the series you're pulling from. Gotcha,
42:29
Speaker 1: says Morbious, And you're hoping I can help. Well, that
42:33
Speaker 1: suited a nutshell, So you've got a choice. And then
42:35
Speaker 1: Neo turns and there's a table with two speakers of
42:38
Speaker 1: liquid in it. Drink the blue blood and you go
42:41
Speaker 1: back to your world where you're hated and hunted. Drink
42:45
Speaker 1: the red blood and you'll see how deep the rabbit
42:47
Speaker 1: hole goes. And Morbious looks at the beakers, both of
42:51
Speaker 1: which are filled with red blood. Um blue blood. Yeah,
42:56
Speaker 1: says Neo. One of these is filled with aristocratic blood.
43:00
Speaker 1: It I actually don't know which is which, but we
43:04
Speaker 1: have to eat the rich, and Morbius says, so, so
43:07
Speaker 1: this is like a coin flips situation here, huh, And yeah,
43:12
Speaker 1: I hadn't really thought this out. I should have at
43:15
Speaker 1: least put a label on it or something. So then Morbius,
43:18
Speaker 1: just wanting to get out of this conversation, picks up
43:20
Speaker 1: a beaker and guzzles it down and his eyes go
43:23
Speaker 1: all glowy and we see c G I smoke effects
43:25
Speaker 1: and stuff, and then he's still there's ah, must have
43:29
Speaker 1: been the Red Blood, says Morbius and Neo size and relief.
43:33
Speaker 1: And then we get a crazy montage of Morbius getting
43:36
Speaker 1: kitted out in cool matrix gear like a leather vampire
43:39
Speaker 1: outfit and branded sunglasses which will totally sell his merchandise
43:44
Speaker 1: once this movie launches, and we see Morbius getting an
43:47
Speaker 1: upload of all the different fighting styles and stuff that
43:50
Speaker 1: makes them way more effective. And then we get the
43:53
Speaker 1: super cool movie where Morbius does all these crazy effects
43:57
Speaker 1: heavy action sequences one after another, and in the end
44:00
Speaker 1: it looks like the humans have won at least a battle,
44:03
Speaker 1: if not the war, because we can't actually end the
44:06
Speaker 1: story here, so it's just like they look like they
44:09
Speaker 1: made a little bit of incremental progress. And then we
44:12
Speaker 1: get it. Morbous looks to Neo and says, hey, hang on,
44:16
Speaker 1: if I'm not from this reality, then this body I'm
44:21
Speaker 1: in is actually my physical form. It's not a virtual
44:23
Speaker 1: representation of me, because I don't have a computer connection
44:26
Speaker 1: in my spine that you can use to upload me
44:29
Speaker 1: to the matrix. So there was actually no way for
44:31
Speaker 1: me to learn all that stuff or even access the
44:34
Speaker 1: matrix in the first place. What gives and Neo says,
44:39
Speaker 1: uh credits post credit scene, it's me as director saying,
44:45
Speaker 1: I am here to apologize for what you just saw.
44:49
Speaker 1: I know it wasn't good. You know it wasn't good,
44:52
Speaker 1: but hey, chances are it's still better than more obvious
44:56
Speaker 1: the end heard. No, that was hilarious. I that's the
45:05
Speaker 1: movie I want to watch. I mean, you know me,
45:11
Speaker 1: at this point, mash ups are really just an excuse
45:14
Speaker 1: for me to rant about movies for like ten minutes. Yeah, okay,
45:21
Speaker 1: so complete Honestly, I'm probably complete complete honesty. I'm probably
45:25
Speaker 1: going to actually watch more bous, but I'm gonna wait
45:28
Speaker 1: till it's free on some streaming service I already own.
45:32
Speaker 1: And I've got nothing else to do unless one of
45:34
Speaker 1: you all reach out and make us watch it. Yeah,
45:38
Speaker 1: I don't don't do that, don't make us watch it.
45:41
Speaker 1: I look, I still haven't seen either of the Venom movies.
45:46
Speaker 1: I have no interest in the Sony part of the
45:51
Speaker 1: the m c U multiverse apart from the Spider Man films.
45:56
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's just I think I think I
45:59
Speaker 1: just kicked get past the idea of the character Venom
46:04
Speaker 1: not having a connection to Spider Man like that still
46:09
Speaker 1: just drives me nuts. He looks like Spider Man, but
46:12
Speaker 1: there's no connection to Spider Man, and there's no explanation
46:14
Speaker 1: as to why he looks kind of like Spider Man.
46:17
Speaker 1: So I know it's that's my that's my burden. I
46:22
Speaker 1: get it, it's on me. I thought I was going
46:25
Speaker 1: to have that issue as well, but I didn't. I
46:27
Speaker 1: liked I liked the first one. I thought it was
46:29
Speaker 1: a solid, fun, entertaining movie. I haven't seen the second one.
46:32
Speaker 1: I didn't hear as many good reviews about the second
46:34
Speaker 1: one and the one I heard about the first one.
46:36
Speaker 1: We're mixed, so I'm not going to like pressure you
46:38
Speaker 1: to watch it. But I thought the first Venom was
46:41
Speaker 1: a fun use of my lazy afternoon. Uh. If I
46:45
Speaker 1: ever find myself with nothing left on my list, then
46:49
Speaker 1: I'll definitely consider checking it out before I play some
46:52
Speaker 1: computer games or something. But yeah, I uh, I, based
46:57
Speaker 1: upon what I've read about more bus, I just feel
46:59
Speaker 1: like I feel like I don't want to give that
47:03
Speaker 1: movie any money because I don't want to invite more
47:06
Speaker 1: of it. I understand that. Um, And I'm not super
47:11
Speaker 1: excited about craven Um, although I am excited about some
47:16
Speaker 1: of the other characters that might pull over. Um. Yeah.
47:20
Speaker 1: But if you're excited about more Bus or have a
47:23
Speaker 1: way that you'd want to work Movius into our Morbius
