  Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, Welcome to the Large Nerd on Collider podcast,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: the podcast that's all about the geeky things happening in
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: the world around us and how very excited we are
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: about them. I'm aerial casting and with me is always
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: is the amazing John and then Stricklin. I got the tingles, yeah,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: because I almost did the intro in ASMR. One of
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: these days I'm going to fully commit and do the
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: entire intro in ASMR. I've tried a couple of times,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: and I always make myself laugh.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, if you do that, then I might
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: mess with the I don't know if I can do
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: it in audacity or not, where I can mess with
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: the panning. So I can have it go into like
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: left ear and then right ear, and then.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: I'll just set up another microphone and I'll just talk
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: into two different microphones because you might be getting a
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: little bit of that effect right now.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: That would be It would also be challenging because I
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: would have to have your track be in stereo, all
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: minds in mono, and then it would all mix down. Well, honestly,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: I don't even know if it would work. Maybe it would,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: I haven't tried it, but welcome everybody where. We didn't
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: skip a week, which is nice. I thought that would
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: mean Ariel that we would have like a manageable amount
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: of stuff to talk about, but.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Do their job so well we might Yeah.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: If I weren't paying attention to industry news, maybe, Yeah.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: It's like I get.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: A daily email, I do, I do check. I actually
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: did check it ad stuff this week.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: So yeah, No, there's quite a bit in here from
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: both of us. And it's just one of those weeks
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: where you know, news just kept coming out and that
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: was you know, at least geek adjacent, if not outright geeky,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: most of it's outright geeky. So yeah, we got a
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: lot to chat about, so much so that I actually
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: went through and deleted some stuff are our section where
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: you know it's industry related but not necessarily geek related.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: I took some of those stories out simply because we
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: just had so much.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, which is good. That's good. It's good that the
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: industry is booming.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, let's boom away with our question of the week,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: because I actually remember to write one this time. Granted
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: I wrote it this morning. It's not like we had
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: a whole lot of time to think about it. But
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: if you could cast yourself in any geeky property, which
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: would it be and who would you play? And I
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: told Ariel earlier this could be specific, like you could say, oh, well,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: if they were to like if I were to go
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: back in time when they were making such and such,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: I would play this character. Or it could be more
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: general than that, such as if they made another such
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: and such movie, I would want to play so and
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: so on. So what was your answer?
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: I would be as Mystique in X Men.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay, Well that's a that's an interesting choice because
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: you might not be on screen that much.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: No, I know, well, I don't know, like Rebecca Romaine
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: was in on screen quite a bit when she played.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it just means like with the with that
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: particular character and the ability to shape shift, there's a
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: good amount of time where the person playing Mistique might
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: not be you.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: So listen, you gave me this question this morning. I'm
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: sure there are tons of characters that I've been like, oh,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: I would love to play this character if they ever
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: do it. I wanted to play Sheetholk And then they
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: cast somebody else who is who is tiny, which makes
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: a lot of sense.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: You know, yeah, they have like the the juxtaposition of
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: the tiny person turning into like the eight foot tall
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: green woman.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And then in X Men specifically, I was like, Okay,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: well I can't play Mistique. Who do I want to
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: play next? Because I've already cast her and now I'm
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I'm plus sized, so I'd probably be closer to like
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: a big Bertha or something, not a big Bertha. But
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: you know, there are some some theftier women in comic
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: books that I would more suit right now. But I
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: just went back to the og because like every time
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I want to play this person
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: and X Men, they would cast somebody as that character.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, now I can't work up to being
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: that character.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: So well, there's there's there's no there's no wrong answers here.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: I was just teasing because I was like, oh, you
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: picked the character who specifically turns into other people.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's just my rogue brand. I'm playing a rogue
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: and I'm playing a changeling in one D and D game,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: so maybe it's just stuck in my head to be
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: able to shape shift. Maybe I'd also love to be Nightcrawler, but.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: You know, well, yeah, that's you have to gender flip
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: the character. My my answer would was, I would cast
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: myself as Captain Hook in a version of Peter Pan. Nice, like,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: it doesn't really matter what version. And it's funny because
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: I sit there and think, like, well, I'm not that
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: tall or intimidating, but then I'm like, but Dustin Hoffman
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: did a great job as Captain Hook in Hook, a
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: movie that I otherwise do not care for. But I
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: love his performance, and I love the score, the John
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Williams score. But other than that, I'm actually not a
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: fan of Hook, which is kind of sacrilege to a
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: lot of people who were like you, Yeah, a lot
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: of millennials. Millennials love that movie, and I thought it
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: was okay.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Which is interesting because, like, I would think it would
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: speak more to Gen X because or even earlier, because
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: it's about, you know, a guy outgrowing being Peter Pan
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: and finding that youth again. And I watched that as
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: a kid, so it was not something I could relate
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: to at the time.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: I get it. But if you're gonna do that, don't
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: cast Robin Williams to be restrained for two thirds of
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: your movie. I thought he did so good I don't.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: I do not, because like the thing about Robin Williams
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: is he plays, you know, that that hyper super fast
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: thinking character incredibly well, and that would have suited a
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: version of the story where maybe for one third of
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: the movie you're this buttoned down adult and then for
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: the other two thirds you're kind of this whimsical, like
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: fast talking, fast thinking character.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: But he also does play really amazing serious roles like
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: look at Goodwill Hunting.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Yes, Hook is not a serious role.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: No, but he was playing a serious, straight laced character.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. Though it was like like if
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: you're well, just because you didn't like it, I appreciate that.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: I am trying to express my opinion. Your opinion is
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: that you thought he did a good job. My opinion
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: is that he did not. That is my opinion. I don't.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: I do not like. I largely don't like the script,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: and I don't think so. I don't think it's entirely
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: his fault. I think the script does not serve Robin
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Williams well. I do think Hook comes out looking great
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: in that script, but I don't think Peter Pan does
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: very much.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: And to be fair, I wasn't trying to say that
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: your opinion was wrong or invalid. I was more saying like,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: because it came from a point of like Robin Williams
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: should play quirky characters, and I would. It just brought
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: to my mind that he has played some very good,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: serious characters. I wasn't trying to negate your opinion of
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: sure moving, sure am, I apologize.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: I agree, like I also have complex thoughts about Robin
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Williams's serious roles, more so from the perspective of me
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: as an older person and many years further down the line,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Like I look back on certain roles and I think
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: this is bordering on two saccharin of a performance for
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: certain certain shows, certain movies. I wouldn't put hook in there,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: But like, like I loved Dead Poet Society when I
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: was young, and you know, feeling these very strong feelings
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: and all this kind of stuff, and then as an
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: adult I live back in and go like that's a
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: bit much. And I say that as someone who was
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: an English lit major, right, Like that was my focus.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: But I can't take that movie as seriously today as
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: I did when it first came out.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Uh. I get it, because like I have the same
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: thing with musicals Le Miz or Phantom of the Opera.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Yes, I feel the same way about those two.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: No, I always hated Rent but uh same same.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: But yeah, like I I loved ley Miss. The way
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: I met my wife was partially because of l Miz
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: and uh, and so like I loved that, but now,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: like I can't imagine sitting through that musical now, I
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: just think it would be too much m Yeah.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So like I definite get that, and I definitely
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: feel like how you like it's an over correction sometimes.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, And like later on, like some of his
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: later dramas, I found them to be truly incredible, like
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: like you know, Goodwill Hunting, it's still an amazing performance,
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: and or or like twenty four Hours, like that's terrifying performance.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: But some of his early drama outings, I think a
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: lot of people were impressed that someone who was so
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: associated with comedy was doing drama that And plus I
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: think it was probably just a different like set of
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: of priorities or set of like cultural appreciations, whatever you
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: want to call it at the time. But these days,
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: when I look back, I'm just like, that's much.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I do think that I have a little
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: bit of an over zealousness for actors who I who
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: I view as successfully crossing genres, especially ones who tend
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: to get type cast. So I tend to be incredibly
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: supportive those kind of roles. Now, that wasn't my mindset
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: when Hook came out. So I just genuinely like Hook
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I wanted.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, like I saw Hook when I was I
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: mean whenever it first came out, like I was whatever age.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: But like I liked parts of it, Like I said,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: I loved the score, and I loved Hook, and I
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: love me. I didn't really care for Peter Pan or
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: the like. I remember the scene that where it lost
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: me entirely was the feast scene. I was just gone
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: at that point, the whole like imaginary feast bit. Oh,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: I hated it so much. And yeah, I just it
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: just didn't work for me. I felt like it was
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: a little I don't know, there was something missing for
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: me that for that movie to work. But again, I
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: don't think it was necessarily Robin Williams's fault. I think
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: it was a problem with the script and maybe with
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: the direction. I don't think it was a performance thing
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: so much so. The the style of direction and story
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: dictated what happened because you could tell that he was
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: rained in, Like, yeah, if Robin Williams isn't rained in,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: that's when you get insanity. Well, you know you're gonna
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: have to shoot for five hours to get half an
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: hour worth of material, but it's gonna be incredible.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: They do that for task Master too.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: And just to go back, I could be a night Crawler.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: I could be his daughter because he had a daughter
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: with Scarlet Witch named Nocturn.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: How did vision feel about that?
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. I don't know the timeline
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: super well, I really I ran into Nocturn years ago
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: when I was looking for X Men characters to cause
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: play at dragon Con who hadn't been done forever, and
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: I picked Blink because she hadn't been really done at
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: that time. She's kind of pink and has pink are
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: She's since been done in various TV shows and movies,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: but at the time, no one had done her.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: So I remember you being pink because I remember you
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: being pink.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I left butt prints all over dragon Con
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: because the back of my legs were painted pink as well.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Because she wears. She wears like that split dress thing
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: that like, it's similar to mystique was why.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: I like you. Well, now now that I've offended all
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: of our listeners by my putting down of hook Like,
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: I don't think there's anything wrong with liking it. It
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: just didn't work for me.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: But I think you make an imagine a lord, an
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: amazing captain Hook I would have.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know that I would do a good job,
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: but I would have so much fun. It's one of
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: my favorite villains. He's just so so flamboyant and can
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: be menacing depending upon the version, or it can be
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: largely comedic. It really just depends upon the type of
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: story you're telling. All right, Well, let's let's move on
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: to stuff that we watched since the last time. What
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: have you been watching since our last week, our last recording?
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Not a lot. I've been playing some more Dredge. I
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: briefly took it off of passive mode and then remembered
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: why I don't because I hate the steering mechanic. So
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: I just I'm not getting attacked by monsters. But that's fine.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: I went and I saw he Man, and I loved it.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: My husband had one gripe, which is that he wished
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: that he Man was maybe a little bit less of
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: a comedic presence at times because he's always like, I
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: don't want to spoil it for people, but he's the
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: butt of the joke a lot. But I thought it
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: was great. It was some of the best fight correography
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: I've seen in a movie in a while. And I
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: just watched Mortal Kombat too as well, So I was
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: gonna say Mortal Kombat too, but I watched Mortal Kombat
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: too as well.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Uh Kombat too also.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: But it wasn't just people jumping around CGI. I mean,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: obviously there was some of that, right, because you're in
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: these big fantastical landscapes. You've got these people with these big,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: fantastical physical abilities that are not irreplicable by a human.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: But for the most part, I thought the fight choreography
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: was clever, engaging, fun, kept me like invested in what
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: was going on. The soundtrack and scoring was really good,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: similar to the way that they do like Guardians of
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: the Galaxy, but I feel like even better because they
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: used it specifically to pinpoint moments and not just putting
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: fun songs in here and there a soundtrack, so I
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: thought it was really well done, and the beginning of
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: the movie, it's incredibly cheesy. The jokes don't always land,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: but they are setting up for later in the movie,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: and then they land them all and it all brings
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: it all home and it's really good. So I absolutely
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: loved it. There are several post credit scenes. I know
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: that this movie is not doing well, but I still
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: hope they find a way to make another one because
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: they did it with Mortal Kombat, and I really enjoyed
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: this movie and I want to see the next chapter
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: so very much.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the movie that's gotten really decent reviews, particularly
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: from like you know, like not like film critic with
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: capital F, capital C, but like the folks who are
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: either you know, kind of in the nerdy space, and
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: including ones where I'm like, well, I know for a
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: fact these guys were not contacted and paid off to
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: give a good review, because they'll say critical things as well,
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: but the overall they enjoyed the movie. And I wanted
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: to go see it last night so badly, but as
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Ariel knows, we were under a tornado watch last night,
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: so I didn't feel comfortable leaving my dog alone at
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: home in the case of a really nasty storm, so
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: I stayed in.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I still think if it is in theaters near you.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: It's still in some theaters this weekend and you are
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: able to go out and see it, that seeing it
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: in the theater is worthwhile, as long as you don't
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: see it at the theater I was at. I'm not
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: gonna name names because I like that theater, but the
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: last two movies that I've seen there, their surround sound
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: wasn't working. It was all up front, which ruins some
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: of the immersiveness. But I still really enjoyed it. I
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: recommend it, especially if you're a fan of like hey
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Man or the old Masters of the Universe movie or
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: anything else. They knew what they were doing and they
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: did it well. I've also watched a bunch of like Dropout,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: so like Game Changer and VIP and Smarty Pants and
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: all that, because it's easy. I'm through two of the
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: three Dalton Abbey movies right now. I said I didn't
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: watch a lot, but I guess I did. I'm still
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: not up to full Go Go Go Aerial yet. I'm
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: watching Fox Macina. There was I think like episode five
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: was a heist episode, and that was a lot of fun.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: And then I've just started getting into the Guy Montgomery's
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: spelling Bee clips where Sam Campbell.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Those story they started getting served up to me and
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: I meant to share one with you because when I
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: saw it, I was like it was one of the
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: ones with him. There were a couple. There's more than one,
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: but if you're thinking about like, there's one where it's
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: the Timekeeper, was that the Yes, Yeah, it's weird because
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: you and I both got served up that particular clip,
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: you know. But when I saw it, I thought, oh,
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Ariel would totally be into this because it does have well,
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: one it has someone who has also been on Dropout,
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: but two it has a lot of the same kind
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: of humor sensibilities of something like a game changer or
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: even a task master. And also uh. Guy Montgomery is
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: one of the co hosts of the once a year
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: podcast Till Death Do Us Blurt with the mceilroy Brothers.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: It's the Mceilroys, and it's Guy Montgomery and it's Tim
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Batt who together Guy and Tim hosted Worst of Idea
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: of All Time, where they watched Originally they watched Grown
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Ups two every week for a year and they have
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: since gone on to watch other terrible things. So I
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: was thrilled to see that.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So the reason that it got served up to
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: me is because I've watched all of the task Master
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: that's in English that there is to watch, and Sam
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Campbell was on task Master. In fact, he won his season.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: He was on a season also with Lucy Beaumont and
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: a couple other people were the first couple of episodes,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: I'm like, these this, I must be having a fever
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: dream because these people are not real. But throughout it,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Sam Campbell has become like one of my favorite comedians.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: He is so funny and he usually keeps it pretty clean,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: which means when he doesn't, it's a shock. And it
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: is also funny. Yeah yeah, and he's just so it
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: doesn't always land because he is really out there. But
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: I I truly enjoy his presence in his comedy. And
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: so that's why I got served up to me because
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: I'm a big Sam Campbell fan.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: And also keeper I was gonna say, like, I also
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: love how he is that he is very funny and
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: makes big choices, weird, strange choices, but he also is
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: very willing to throw it back to somebody else. So
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: like it becomes like it's not just about him, and y'all,
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: if you're ever in improv or any other form of
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: like group comedy, that is so rare to find someone
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: who is both great at making original choices but also
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: fantastic at supporting fellow comedians, and at least a little
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: bits I saw he was he was doing both.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: He tends to do that in all the things that
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: I've seen him in, which again is mainly tast master
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: in the second season of Last One laughing, but like,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: I've gone to watch him with his earlier stand up,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: like some of his Australian and stand up, and it's
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: okay because it is just him on a stage being awkward,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: which means the pacings a little off. But yeah, he's
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: he's very supportive and and makes bizarre choices and just yeah,
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: I just I just I love them. So yeah, that's
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: that's why I And the first time I turned it on,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: I didn't stay on the clip because I was like,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: it's a spelling bee and it's just Sam Campbell being weird.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: But the timekeeper and then the one where he is
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: dressed up like Pennywise at the kids party is also amazing,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: and that one doesn't have Demi at Juy and it
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: has Phil Wang who was also in Task Master.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: So yeah, uh, it makes me want to watch that
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: whole series. I read up on all the different not
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: all the different. I read up on the selection of
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: the different games that they play within that Spelling Bee,
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: and it just gets it's very, very silly, like the
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: little mini games are all. It's really just an excuse
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: for comedians to be funny, right, and also for Guy
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: to torture Guy and Sam to torture each other and
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: the contestants. So they really hit on a great format
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: for that show. Yeah, well, let me talk a little
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: bit about what I watched.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Yes, please, I'm so sorry.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: No, it's fine. I always dominate these conversations. You're allowed
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: to talk and I'm allowed to shut up. I just
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: don't do it much. So you mentioned Dredge. That got
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: me back into Dave the Diver, which is funny because
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: I had completed that game, but I had DLC that
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: hadn't really played through that much. And then more DLC
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: had been added since the last time I played. So
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: one was bringing in characters from Yakuza, like a dragon,
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: and so I have that one, but one just released
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: this we called In the Jungle, which has a whole
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: new like as a freshwater lake, and a whole new
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: set of fish, and a whole new community that you're
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: working with. And it's a totally different restaurant, like it's
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: like it's like it's almost a new, slightly smaller version
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: of the game the main game. So I started playing
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: that and it's fun. It's also frustrating because, for reasons
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: that make sense, you are not allowed to bring all
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: the stuff you've accumulated in the main game, so like
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: all my souped up weapons and stuff I don't have
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: access to.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: That would make me so frustrated.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: But they do give you. So in Dave the Diver,
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: you have your primary gun, which is your harpoon gun.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: That one is still it's well now it's it's promoted
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: all the way as high as it can go, but
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: it doesn't have any special abilities to it, and as
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: far as I can tell, they don't have that in
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: this DLC. Like in the regular game, you can find
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: the like flames or electricity or something like that to
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: give your harpoon extra powers. I haven't found that so far.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: In the Jungle. Lake doesn't mean it's not there. I
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: just haven't found it. But your secondary weapon, that's something
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: that you have to find the materials for you build
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: and then you can build different ones. You could have
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: like a sniper rifle or a shotgun, but my favorite
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: was a net gun that would fire this big metal
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: net that could capture all but the largest creatures and
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: then you could capture them alive, which meant that you
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: would get more meat from them for your sushi restaurant.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: You could also potentially you could also potentially breed them,
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: so you could have like a fish farm. Well, all
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: those secondary weapons are gone and instead you get a
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: jungle gun that can morph into each of those, So
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: instead only carrying one secondary weapon, you get to carry
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: essentially four. But you know, if you want to upgrade,
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: you have to upgrade each sub form of the gun.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: You can't just upgrade the gun as a whole. You
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: have to, like for me to upgrade the net, I
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: have to go into the net one and just upgrade
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: that version that form of the gun.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: So is this because you're just hunting fish, right and
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: fish like creatures.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: For part of the game. Yeah, there's a whole lot
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: more to the game now too, Like.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: I know that you hunt fish and then you have
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: a sushi restaurant, but do you go after other animals?
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Are you just literally shooting fish in a barrel?
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: Well, there are all sorts of fish that are extremely dangerous,
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: like piranha, and there's also like crocodilians in this lake,
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: so you got to be I haven't been able to
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: take on any of those. They're way too powerful. There's
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: an electric eel that like I can just barely take
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: but it's real close, and like, my character's got oxygen
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: in this game is your health. My character's oxygen tank
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: is as upgraded as it possibly can be, and even then,
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: like it's a touch and go situation with most of
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: the more dangerous fish. So obviously I have to progress
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: further to upgrade my gun to make it easier for
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: me to take on these creatures. Anyway, been having a
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: lot of fun with it. There's also a ton of
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: other stuff that's going on in the village itself, so
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: you actually have to split your time between doing stuff
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: in the village and swimming around in the lake. You
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: can't just do one or the other, or else you'll
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: lag behind. But beyond that, I also last night I
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: was gonna go see he Man, but then we got
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: the Tornado watch, so I didn't, And I'm frustrated because
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: the theater that's closest to me, I knew for a
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: fact that last night was the last time they were
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: going to show He Man before it moved out of
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: that theater, so I missed out. Didn't get to see
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: it in the theater. Maybe I'll go to a theater
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: that's much further from me to check it out. This weekend.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: I'm on my own, so like I need to do something.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: But what I did do is I watched two movies
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: that we've chatted about on this show that have been
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: out for a while. So I watched They Will Kill You,
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: which is the one with the Zazzi beats, where you
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: know she's going to going to a weird building where
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: everyone's out to killer, but she's really good at fighting back.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: That movie ended up being way different than what I
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: thought it was going to be.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Okay, I was interested in it.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: I liked it. I didn't love it. I liked it.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: I liked it largely because I had a lot of style,
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: but I also kind of felt that that was a
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: downside as well, because there were points where I'm like, oh,
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: you might want to lay off the camera tricks just
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: for a little bit, because it's starting to feel it's
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: starting to feel a little bit like Bram Stoker's Dracula,
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: Oh now, where like every five seconds you got a
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: different camera trick. But I had a lot of stuff
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: like long shots where a camera would go down a hall,
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: go around a character, and then start going back up
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: the hall, but still be focused on that character's front side.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: So just like when you see those things, you start
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: to think about the mechanics of actually getting that shot,
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: and it kind of takes well, at least for me,
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: it takes me out of the movie because I'm thinking about, oh,
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: that's interesting. You know, they must have used a steady
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: cam this kind of stuff, And I'm like, now I'm
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: thinking about the making of the movie instead of the movie.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's just me twenty four to seven, anytime
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: I watch anything nowadays.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: But yeah, well, there was one element about the movie
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: that I did not so I hadn't read up on
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: this at all. I just had seen the trailer and
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: thought it looked cool. So I start watching it and
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: something happens very very early in the movie. Where I'm like, huh,
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: this is not what I thought it was, okay, which
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: is just that if you don't mind me spoiling, if
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: you don't want to be spoiled on, they will kill you.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Skip ahead like thirty seconds. So the the building has
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: a pact with Satan. Essentially all the people who live
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: there have made this deal with the devil, and they
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: are immortal, so you can shoot them and stab them
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: and everything, but then they resurrect. They come back, so
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: like even if you were to blow their head off,
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: they will regrow their head. So that's what I didn't
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: realize when I started watching it was that like she
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: outright kills like four people early on in the movie,
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, wow, they're gonna really run, Like I
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: can't believe they killed off Tom Felton that fast. But
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: then then he recuperates and I'm like, oh, well, that
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: makes more sense, because why would you pay to have
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: this actor in your or Heather Graham, like, why would
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: you pay to have her in the movie and then
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: kill her off that fast? So that really surprised me. Overall,
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: I enjoyed it, didn't love it. I did feel like
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: it was it was being a little too stylish for
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: its own good. And then the other movie I watched
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: was the Peter Dinglich Toxic Toxic Avenger movie, which again
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: I liked, did not love, really like the sense of humor,
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: appreciated the over the top gore because it was never
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: done in a truly like serious way. It was always
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's gross, but it's it's made. It's made
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: like that juvenile gross out humor type of thing. Okay, Like,
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: don't get me wrong, it is gross, but I never
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: took it seriously because you can't. It's so ridiculous. But
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: the jokes in it are really corny and silly, which
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: I appreciate. Like every time there was an establishing shot,
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: the name of the place would come up, and it
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: was always something silly like ye oldie spooky forest like that.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: That would be like the name of the location, that
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: kind of thing.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: And I was it more corny humor like that or
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: more childish gross out humor.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: I'd say, equal parts, Okay, yeah like it. I don't
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: you know, I think probably a little bit more of
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: the corny jokes than the gross out humor, but not
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: by much. It was like like sixty forty percent kind
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: of thing. I would recommend. I would recommend it, especially
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: for a group watch. It's nowhere near as crass as
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: some of the other Toxic Avenger movies, but it's so
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: that's interesting because it doesn't feel like it's quite as
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: crass and and grungy as the earlier Trauma stuff, but
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: it still has elements of it.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: Gotcha, gotcha. Yeah, I'm not big into that kind of humor,
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: but maybe I'll give it a group watch at some
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: point in time.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: It's it's a heck of a thing. Like it's also
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: like the supporting seeing Elijah Wood at it. It's really
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: weird and he plays a really strange character too. Uh. Yeah,
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: I think it's worth watching. I don't think it's a
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: great movie, but I was entertained.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: I did forget one thing. There is a chance I'll
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: go see Disclosure Day this weekend if I don't end
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: up being a Blottro widow because my husband has started
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: playing Polattro.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: And yeah, that's a The game is a time suck. Yeah, no,
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: I I was. I didn't even get as far into
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: it as a lot of people did. I got decently
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: far where I was unlocking some of the special decks
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: and stuff but there's so much of that game. I
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: finally had to walk away from it. I was like,
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: I'm playing this too much, and like my and I
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: had reached a point where my progress had slowed down significantly,
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: like there were still tons to unlock, but I just
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: wasn't good enough to make real headway into unlocking that stuff.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: And I got to a point like I think I plateaued.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: I think I've reached like my skill level with this game,
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: and so I kind of backed off of it.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I haven't played it. I used to play
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Night at the Inventory. So I like card games, video
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: card games. I like regular card games too. I don't
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: think I'm going to get into it. I have too
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: many other games to finish. We moved our PS four upstairs,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: so that's what I'm playing Dredge on, and then because
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: we bought a PS five, but now we have the
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: you know, you have the old system still, and so
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: it's where I'm playing Dredge, and I might redownload Mass
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Effect Andromeda and actually try to finish it this time,
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: because it's that's on our old Xbox which never gets
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: turned on anymore. So, but at some point I might
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: be like Tony if you can play Biletro on the four,
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: do it so I can go down and play my games.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: I can go down and play my games anytime. It's
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: just I don't so.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: I'm actually I'm actually toying with the idea. Not that
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: I think I'll get one, because I'm sure they'll sell
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: out before I can even place an order. But I
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: don't know if you saw, but during the whole Games
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: Fest thing, you know, Xbox revealed that they're having a
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: special addition Xbox Series X come out that's clear green
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: plastic so you can see through to the circuit boards
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: and stuff. And I don't own a Series X, so
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: I am debating on trying to get one now. Grant
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: they're going to be expensive as heck because graphics cards
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: are hard to come by thanks a lot Ai, But
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: I may have to try and do that. I don't
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: know when they go on sale. They might be on
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: sale by now already.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Also, like, I guess, would it be just so that
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: you have that game system because it's cool, or like
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: because Xbox has stopped making exclusive games and even some
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: of the games that were exclusive, like South Midnight, have
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: since come to PlayStation.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there are a few titles that they've announced I
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: think that are at least initially going to be exclusive,
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: but large largely it's also so that I can play
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: things like GTA six when it comes out, because like
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: I don't have a current system, and I've always preferred
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: Like I don't, I don't have a like a deep
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: abiding loyalty to either PlayStation or Xbox I own. I
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: think I own a PS four and an Xbox one.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: Like I don't have anything current. I don't have the
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: current systems. But as far as controllers go, I always
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: have preferred Xbox to PlayStation. The PlayStation controller has always
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: felt cramped to me, so I tend to prefer the Xbox.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: Not because I think the games on PlayStation tend to
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: be better, especially the exclusives, but for the for my comfort,
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: I prefer the Xbox controller.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Legit. The only reason we got a PlayStation, and we
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: got the PlayStation four and then needed to upgrade is
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: because Tony wanted to play Final Fantasy seven, the new
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: version of it, and you can't play all of it
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: on four. Some of it you have to play on five,
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: So that was really clever of them.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the third part is coming out soon
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: like it's the third and final part of the remake.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and they've done really well with that. But then
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: also like he got the PS four so he could
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: play the first part of it, which was years ago,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: you know, there was a big gap in time, and like,
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: so that would be the system that we would take,
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: Like if we spend a week at an airbnb, we'd
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: take that system so we could play games on it
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: and leave the Xbox here. But we have also been
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: more of an Xbox house, but now it seems like
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: the games we want to play are more coming out
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: on PlayStation, like Balder Skate and you know, since we
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: needed it.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: The God of War series, that kind of stuff.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and since we needed the PS five for to
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: finish the Final Fantasy series. It's like, well, I'll just
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: get everything I want to play on the PlayStation. Not
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: that I could have, but now I can again, Like
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: South of Midnight was Xbox. We don't have the latest
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: Xbox either. We have the one.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: So yeah, so one.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: To three sixty.
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I haven't played a console game in a
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: very long time on either console. Like my gaming has
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: been almost exclusively actually it has been exclusively on PC
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: or my phone. I guess not exclusively, but my phone,
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: I'm playing little bitting mobile games. I'm not playing any
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: of the like any of the the A Triple A
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: tier games that have been you know, optimized for phone use.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: I haven't done any of those. It's always been like
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: make this paper playing go far Like.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I my my my my gaming pc, like
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: my desktop, is very very old. It eventually aged out
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: of being able to play like the latest graphics on
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: things like Elder Scrolls and World of Warcraft. Yeah, and
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: my my laptop is a work computer. So we got
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: it so that I could do my job, and so
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: it can play games like I can play Minecraft on
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: it no problem. And I can do Wow Ascension or
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: Elder Scrolls online. But I have to like take a
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: bunch of stuff off with the computer for it to
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: do that. So yeah, not someday, I might get another
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: gaming pc.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: My gaming pc is a laptop, but I only have
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: a couple of games active on it in any given time.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: For the same issue, like, you know there's limited drive space.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: Well we have gone forty minutes. We've got a long
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: episode still ahead of us.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: Let's zoom through.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we have thirty seconds or less and literally, there
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: are enough stories here for it to be ten minutes
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: if we were to keep every single one of these
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: to thirty seconds or less. So I know it's going
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: to be longer than that. Let's get going and you go.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: You are up first with a sad story.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So Dave, Davey, Chase, d v Chase, just me.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know how to pronounce her name, who was
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: famous for doing the voice of Lelo in the original
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: animated series. And also I think being the girl in
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: the ring has passed away from complications and meningitis. She
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: was only thirty, So that is very very sad.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're broken up about that. Moving on, there's a
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: Verizon ad making the rounds featuring Doctor Evil from the
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: Austin Powers movies, which made some folks wonder if perhaps
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: we might see the spy spoof character return to the
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: silver screen, and Meyer's response when asked about that was yes.
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: The question is whether that's a threat or a promise.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: Maybe both. Chris Sanders, who co directed and co wrote
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: and co created the original Lelo and Stitch animated movie,
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: is on board to do the Lilo and Stitch live
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: action also kind of animated sequel. It is still being
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: executive produced by Ryan Halprin and produced by John Urt
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: And yeah, that's what I got to say about that.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, the first one made a billion dollars. No
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: big surprise here. I've seen lots of folks praising Widow's
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: Bay and I definitely enjoyed the first episode. I look
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: forward to binging the rest over the fourth of July weekend.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: But there is great news for folks who want more
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: of it. Apple TV has greenlit a second season of
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: the show. So for those unfamiliar, this is a hot
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: horror comedy series that takes inspiration from seaside horror stories
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: and Lovecraftian type stories, you know, stuff like Midnight Mass
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: and mixed it with a bit of Parks and Rex
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: style comedy.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: I look forward to watching it eventually too. The Deffer
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: Brothers are doing a movie, and to do so, they
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: left Netflix for Paramount because Paramount promised them the big screen.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: We don't have a lot of details about it yet,
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: but we do know that it'll be coming out in
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: November of twenty twenty eight.
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: Back in twenty twenty two, Universal was going to produce
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: an action comedy film titled Shots, Shots, Shots, but ultimately
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: chose to drop the project. Now Amazon MGM has scooped
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: it up, and Jason Momoa is in talks to produce
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: and star in it. The Hollywood Reporter says that it
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: has quote tones of James Cameron's True Lies, Liam Neeson's
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: Taken franchise, and recent paramount Hit the Lost City end quote,
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: which is not what I would associate with family centric.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: No, but also does fit the vibe of everything we're
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: going to talk about in this episode. For me, everything
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: feels like something else. For fans of Floribus, I know
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: when the season one ended and they didn't know when
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: season two came out, everybody was really worried that it
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: was going to be another Severance Severance kind of a
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: situation where it's going to be several years. Well, good news.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: They are halfway through writing the second season and are
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: really getting stoked about the storylines. Don't worry. They do
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: know where they want the story to go. But of
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: course writing episodes is different than writing a story.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: Ard that's so cool. The Insider reports that Mark Hamill
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: will join the cast of Twisted Metal for season three.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: The show is an adaptation of a car based shooter
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: video game, series and is, in my opinioning but not
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: necessarily great storytelling. Rumor is he'll be playing the psycho
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: clown Sweet Tooth's father, but no confirmation on that just yet.
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: The series is on Peacock. If you are curious, If.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: You're nasty, Andy Taylor Joy entered started. Didn't he give
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: you a gist to respond? Any Taylor Joy?
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: No, go ahead, go ahead, No no, no, I was
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: just gonna say, like appropriate.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Andy Taylor Joy entered in death ring with God
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: what is his name? Andy Serkis and defeated him and
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: now will be the new Gollum and Hunt for Gollum. No,
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: but she will be joining the cast as an elf.
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: Big surprise.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I love, I love. Your reaction was the exact
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: same as mine. That was like, when I saw that
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: she had joined the project, I'm like, it's an elf. Right.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: Here's the thing though, Like she has a very interesting look.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: I could see her being another creature, like another whatever
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: creature Gollum is deformed Tobbitt.
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, well they're Yeah, they're supposed to be
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: from the same like line of ancestors.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's that's not a dig on her looks
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: at all. But like when you look interesting, you can
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: be put into a bunch of different roles like that.
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: So yeah, well, there's a Dead by Daylight film adaptation
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: that's in the works, and now we know the creative
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: team behind it. The screenwriters are David Leslie, Johnston mcgildric
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: it's a name, and Alexandra Aha or Asia maybe Aja,
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: while the director is Thorda Halson. The game is asynchronous
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: and competitive, with one player taking on the role of
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: a killer and the others trying to survive and escape.
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: So I'm gonna guess they're going to try and flesh
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: that out that plot.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: Just a little bit, just a little So this this,
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: this story might have a tiny bit of spoilers. So
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: if you are one of my friends who I told
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: to watch Four Seasons and you aren't at the end
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: of season two yet, skip ahead about a minute. Four
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: Seasons has been renewed for season three. It is a
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: story about three groups of friends and some peripheries go
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: on vacations each season together. It is every season is
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: eight episodes, two seasons, two episodes being in each season
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: of the year, so spring, summer, fall, and winter. Season
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: three also has David Tennant who if you did watch
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: season two, showed up in the last episode.
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: Well. BBC Studios is tackling a live action remake of
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: the classic Studio Ghibli movie Peeky's Delivery Service. The beloved
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: film is based off books by Ko Kadano and follows
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: a thirteen year old girl who sets out to make
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: her way in the big city. The remake will be
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: a series of ten episodes at thirty minutes each and
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: has yet to be written, much less shot, So I
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: am not exactly sure when it's going to come out.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: I'm also not sure when shang Chi, the sequel to
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, is
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: coming out. But for everybody who is worried that it
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: might have gotten scrapped, apparently it is still in development.
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: It was a rather successful movie, considering it came out
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: during the pandemic.
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: Hey, how's that Blade movie coming along? It isn't Las
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: Vegas is shivering, Las Vegas is shivering in Antissa, say
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: it patient. That's because we got word this week that
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: the Rocky Horror Picture show, that cinematic classic from nineteen
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: seventy five, will be coming to the Las Vegas sphere
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: next year. At some point. The Sphere is a venue
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: with more than seventeen thousand seats and has a sixteen
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: k wrap around led screen inside and four D effects.
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: I'm actually a little scared of what Rocky is going
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: to bring to that.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: So much things that are larger than I want to
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: be seen that large.
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: I imagine, I imagine when Frankenfurter throws the drink at
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: the camera, everyone's going to get a little splash.
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm glad you said a little splash it not
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: a little wet.
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: Paddington the Musical is now.
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: I wish now, I wish I had said a little wet.
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: Paddington the Musical. It's great segue. It's coming to Broadway.
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: We all anticipated that it was going to happen, and
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: we know it's going to happen. Previews begin March thirtieth,
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven, with an opening of April eighteenth. I
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: have every clip I have seen from this musical. I
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: adore the villain has an amazing song. The puppet is wonderful.
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: I cannot wait.
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that the Mulan Rouge production team left
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: a gave a really sweet message to the Paddington Dday yeah,
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: because it's the same theater. Mulan Rouge will be moving
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: out and Paddington will be moving in. So they said,
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: you know, we hope you enjoy our Marmalade because they
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: had Lady Marmalade. It was very sweet. So YouTube is
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: struggling to find the best way to combat aislop on
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: the platform, and one recent adjustment has had unintended consequences
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: on legit content creators. So the recommendation algorithm now favors
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: videos that incorporate human faces on the video, and that
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: ends up penalizing creators who might do narration style video
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: essays but they don't actually show up on screen. So
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: we see, yet again another way that AI and our
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: response to it can actually hurt creatives.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: We're getting another Grinch. Maybe Jim Carrey and Ron Howard
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: might be making a sequel if it goes through. It
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: will be written by alec Berg who wrote for Barry
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: in Silicon Valley, and Jeff Schaeffer who did Life Larry
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: in the Pursuit of Unhappiness in David Mandel, who wrote Veep.
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: Wow, Yeah, what an interesting things. Those are all very
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: adult series.
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, and I get like they tried to do
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: a Looney Tudentes thing with like The Grinch and stuff
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: like that, where they had a good amount of adult
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: in kid humor and the kids wouldn't get the adult humor.
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: But I just don't think we need we keep getting
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: new versions of The Grinch and the Cat in the
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: Hat because Doctor SEUs tell stories that are very accessible
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: to kids. But I don't know that we need to
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: revisit this one personally agreed.
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: Fox Corp. Which is the owner of Fox News and
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: Fox Business, not to be confused with Disney's twentieth Century Fox,
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: announced a twenty two billion dollar acquisition deal to nab
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: up Roku in the wake of the paramount Warner Brothers
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: Discovery merger. This has some folks concerned we're seeing more
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: consolidation in the entertainment industry and potentially more political bias
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: as well. So if this deal goes through, it should
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: close in early twenty twenty seven.
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: That's my response to that news, and also the next news,
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: which is The Burrows on Netflix is not getting a
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: second season. They while they had really good views the
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: first week, they didn't have great views the second week.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: I feel like nine point five million views is still
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: pretty good, and I hope that somebody else picks up
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: the second and third season because they had a three
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: season arc planned. It's such a good show, it's so
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: much fun. It's so different from Stranger and yet you know,
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: fun still fun, sci fi monster vibes. Yeah, that's what
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: I can say about it.
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: Well. In the category of conflict of interest, you decide,
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: Amazon MGM was producing a film about Sam Altman, the
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: CEO of Open Ai, starring Andrew Garfield, but now the
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: studio has dropped that film, which maybe possibly has something
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: to do with the fact that Amazon also recently invested
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: fifty billion with a B dollars into open Ai this year.
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: Who's to say. Anyway, an Amazon spokesperson told The Hollywood
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: Reporter that they're looking for another studio to pick up
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: the project.
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: Stop trying to make Clea happen. No, that's really burying
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: the lead of this next story, which is the muppets
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: are coming to Marvel Comics. The only reason I said
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: that is because Cleia, who is I guess Doctor Strange's sister,
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: will be in one of the comics along with the
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: Sweetish Chef. Honestly, reading the mashups, it does make a
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: lot of sense, like Bunsen, Honey Dew and Beeker working
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: with Bruce Banner and Hank pim Uh or Pigs in
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: Space meeting Rocket Raccoon and Groot. I'm kind of into it.
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean it's silly, but then Marvel Comics
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: has had a long history of very silly stuff, like
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: Howard the Duck was meant from the beginning to be
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: a comedy comic book and included lots of crossovers with
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: other Marvel characters, primarily Spider Man. So well, that's it
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: for thirty seconds or less or ten minutes or more
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: as the case may be. But now we've got into
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: the we need to move to the section of things
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: that I don't know why they're here. That's what we're
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: calling the section this week.
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: Do you want to cut them then if you don't
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: know why they're here?
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: No, No, we can have them in here because I've
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: already written down stuff about them. First up as a
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: trailer for a summer camp comedy called The Floaters.
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is about a couple of friends who go
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: to teach at a summer camp for Jewish kids, and
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: one of them is apparently not much of a rule
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: follower and kind of beats to her own drum, and
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: therefore it gets all of the troublemaker kids that do
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: the same and it looks pretty heartwarming.
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I said that it feels like a real throwback
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: to the summer camp comedies of the nineteen eighties, and
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: that it also feels a bit like the kind of
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: movie that what Wet Hot American Summer was specifically poking
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: fun at one thousand. Yeah, partly because like a lot
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: of the performers on Wet Hot American Summer are also Jewish,
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: there were some Jewish jokes in there too, so you know, yeah,
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: you've got like you've got all the earmarks of a
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: summer camp comedy. You know, you've got the group of
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: outcasts who don't really fit in with anyone else at camp.
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: You've got the rival summer camp that is challenging them
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: to some sort of competition. Like it's all incredibly tropeish
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: in a way, still looks cute, and it comes out
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: July tenth.
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: Yes, and again, I said, in thirty seconds or less,
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: almost every movie we talk about whether it's in the
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: stuff that we don't know why it's here, the stuff
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: we do know why it's here feels like something else
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: we have seen recently or a lot. So the next
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: one is the new generation of dude, where's my car movies.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: It's called Nimrod's a Green Day Movie and it's about
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: some kids who get asked to open for a Green
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: Day and then go on a road trip and the
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: lead guide meets Grace McKenna and she hits on him.
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: So there's probably some more stuff in there, but yeah,
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: that's the general gest of it. It's like these guys
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: are in a band and they get the incredible, the
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: incredible opportunity to open for Green Day at like a
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: festive And it's got a lot of people in it
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: besides McKenna Grace, like Fred Armison's in it, Bobby Lee,
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: Jenna Fisher, Yeah, it's okay, Sean Gunn Green Day of
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: course are in It comes out August fourteenth. Trailer looked
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: like again, it looks like a like a road trip
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: movie like it you know again, like you were saying,
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: it does remind you of dozens of other films. Doesn't
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: mean that this is going to be bad or not entertaining.
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: It just does feel like, I don't know, I'm feeling
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: like some of these movies are kind of leaning pretty
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: hard on formats and tropes that have been very well
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: established for years and years.
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: Nostalgia still does well like it always does well. It
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily bring in new audiences, so we'll have to
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: see if this one does.
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, man, Nostalgia isn't what it used
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: to be, you know what.
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: You're right, and you know, I'm tired of all the
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: people who are nostalgic about Pompeii. It's all I ever
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: hear about Pompeii, Pompeii, Pompeii, It's the new Roman Empire.
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: It's it's definitely, it's definitely all I heard about while
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: I was in Pompeii. But that's understandable.
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So that's all to say that we're getting a docuseries,
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: a short docuseries about POMPEII with Tom hitdlestin where he
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: kind of looks at what I guess the life was
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: the day that Pompei was exploding, and evidence that there
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: might possibly have been survivors, which doesn't like super surprise me.
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: But nobody ever talks about it because of course that's
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: that's overshadowed by the Great tragedy.
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you have, you have the record of all the
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: people who died, Like with all these these preserved, you know,
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: ash remains essentially of Like I saw tons of them
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: when I was in POMPEII, some of which were extremely moving.
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: Like it's very sad to see because you just, you know,
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: you can't help but project yourself back there and think
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: about what that must been like. But yeah, this is
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: exploring what things might have been like for the society
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: of the time when the eruption happened. It is called
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: Pompei Out of Time in its entirety, it's a national
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: geographic mini series. They'll be coming to Disney Plus on
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: July twenty second. I thought it looked interesting, but I
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: also felt that it looks like it's going a little hard, Like, yeah,
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: it's doing some of like the Minority Report, you know,
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: holographic display things where the people on screen are pretending
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: like they can actually see stuff that clearly has been
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: added in post Yeah.
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it is an interesting concept. I like
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: the idea that they're trying to present the people of
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: POMPEII in maybe a little bit more of a relatable.
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: Way, you know, and not just not just like a
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: footnote in history or something.
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, a lot of documentaries will have people re
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: enact things, but not necessarily in a way that it
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: helps you, you know, empathize with them. However, POMPEII is
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: one of those things.
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: There.
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: There are a few, more than a few, but there
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: are a few specific events, tragic events in the history
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: of the world that I really can't dive into because
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: I get too sad about them, because I empathize too
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: much with them. Sympathize, I'm not sure which the right
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: word is. POMPEII is one of those. Like if I
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: sit and I start to think about it, like I
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: could never visit there. I think it's so cool that
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: you did, and I think this is a cool project.
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I'll watch it because it might
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: just be too much for me.
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: I think. Once you get to the brothel, things start
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: to have a different feel to it, Like and you're
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: seeing the list of services made in in illustrations on
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: the wall, you start to think, Okay, this is this
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: is removing a bit of the tragedy for me, but
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: only because it's so weird to like that that's one
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: of the that's still preserved. Yeah, no one of I
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: should say, one of the brothels. It was not like
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: there was only the one.
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: It's still tragic though.
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes it was. You know at those prices you're
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: telling me so, uh, that's just a joke. I'm just
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: trying to make, just trying to lighten the mood.
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: Whoops, my internet went out again.
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: So last up in stuff of how did that get here?
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: We have The Room returns now The Room. I'm sure
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: everyone out there knows. The Room one of the films
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: that often gets listed among the worst ever made, but
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: one of the entertaining bad, not like just bad bad,
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: an entertainingly bad movie, like a whole cult film following
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: has sprung up around the Room. In fact, Ariel was
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: going to see screenings of The Room. You know, not regularly,
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: but you saw it a few times, right.
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: Okay, So Lena and Jen and Melinda and I have
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: shirts that are the Golden gate Bridge. When we stand
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: next to each other, the Golden gate bridge goes from
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: one end to the other. So I'd say we saw
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: it more than once or twice.
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've only ever seen it in the theater one time,
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: and the whole time because everyone was already kind of
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: shouting stuff. So I didn't feel badly about it. I
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: just kept saying what and why. There are no answers
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: to either of those questions. That's the only time I've
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: ever seen it in the theater. But now we're getting
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: an interesting remake of the room. This is for charity.
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: I want to stress that that this is like a
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: charity event. But it was a twelve hour filming session.
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: They did the whole remake in twelve hours, and they
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: got actors to redo the room, and they weren't given
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: a script. All they had were teleprompters that told them
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: what to say and gave them stage directions and that
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: was it. And Bob Odenkirk is playing Tommy Wisso's role.
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: And there's also Bella Heathcote and Kate Siegel in there,
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: and Greg Cestoro who was in the original the Room.
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, so, like I read the write up on this
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: and they're like all of these world class actors really
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: doing their very best and like making it Shakespeare or something.
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: Greg Cystostero. Though Greg's distosterone, I don't know if he
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: falls like I'm not gonna, I said. I like when
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: actors get outside of their type casting or their pigeonhole.
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: But I haven't been greatly impressed by his work thus
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: far that I have seen.
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: The work that I like most from him is his
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: book about the Room. That's The Disaster Artist, which obviously
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: was also made into a man.
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: Maybe this book is really well done.
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: The book is better than the movie. I highly recommend
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: it if you have not read The Disaster Artist. If
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: you want to read the story behind one of the
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: craziest films ever made, check that out. Anyway, this The
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: Room Returns premieres on in LA on June twenty sixth,
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: and proceeds will go to the Foundation for AIDS Research
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: and Blue Collaborative, which helps bring stage works to film,
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: like from like you know, new playwrights and stuff. So
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: that's kind of cool.
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's cool. I hope it's something that
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: we get to watch.
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Next up, we're going to take a little turn here.
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: We're just gonna go, oh, this room looks just like
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: the last room. Well, we're gonna keep on. No, now
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: the next room looks like the last two rooms. Let's
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: just keep knowing.
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: I want to go back to the other room.
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: Okay, Well, now there's just a wall there, but well
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: you can take a left here, no same room.
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: Well, while we're stuck or platform eight.
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: Who knows, but but I guess we haven't found enough
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: enough anomalies. Anyway, while we're stuck here, let's go ahead
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: and talk about what's in John Boys Horror Hutch this week.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: First off, Ariel, did you watch any of these trailers? Well,
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: there's only two, but the third one is just a story,
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: it's not a trailer.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: I watched The Last House, and before we get into it,
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: it looked good to me. But it looks like some
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: other stuff we've been seeing recently.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, kind of makes you think of the end of
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: the road. Yes, like a little bit. So I think
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: they oh yeah, yes, Shelby Oaks, they're all they're all
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: the same movie. Not that, No, no, no. So the
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: Last House. I think we may have chatted about this before,
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: or we looked into it and thought about including it.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: Either way, the premise is you have the suburban family
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: and they discover that they are trapped inside their house.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: They can't get out. They can't and even break a
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: window to get out. All the windows are unbreakable, which
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: just maybe go into Kimney Schmidt. But they also they
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: also see that like their neighbors across the street are
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: in the same situation and there's something that's outside, not
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: that it matters because they can't get out anyway. They
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: have to figure out how to survive in their house
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: without access to the outside world, like how do they
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: get food? That kind of thing. It looks interesting. The
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: trailer goes through multiple years based upon the little description
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: at the beginning of each little scene. It's it's really
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: more of a sci fi thriller than a horror movie.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: But I put in here because there are some horror
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: elements as well.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: Definitely unlike, oh gosh, why can't I remember it? It's
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: we talked about it. Let the end of Oak Street.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: Unlike the end of Oak Street. It doesn't look like
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: it's dinosaurs, right, yeah, it looks like it. It looks
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: like it might be a yeah yeah, And you know,
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: it seems like the premise is that they locked everybody
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: in their home just to wait for them all to
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: die out. But obviously at least this family learns to survive,
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: and we learn in the trailer at least one other
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: person does briefly.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah. This comes to Netflix on August seventh,
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: so you know you won't have to leave your house
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: to check it out when it's out. Because Netflix infamously
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: does not want to do theatrical releases, as Burial was
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: alluding to earlier, well, occasionally, I think a filmmaker gets
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: enough clout to be able to demand that in their agreement.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: I don't think that Netflix, if it was just totally
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: up to them and only up to them, that they
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: would really do it very much, which is one of
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: the reasons why, like, there was so much opposition to
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: Netflix acquiring Warner Brothers, not that I think. I still
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: think that would have been better than Paramount acquiring Warner Brothers.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: But even better than that would be no one acquiring
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: Warner Brothers.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: Well, just having them die. No, I'm kidding. I don't
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: want them to. I like the stuff they do. I
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: like the media that, the stories that they create, the
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: movies they create, a lot of my love them. Obviously,
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know why I did that, but Netflix did.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: Do you know Frankenstein in the theater? They're doing The
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: Magician's Nephew in the theater. They have put K Pop
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: Demon Hunters in the theater a thousand bazillion times. At
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: this point, so it's something that they are getting more into.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: But yeah, it's not like the norm. But also, I'm
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: happy to hide in my house to watch a movie
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: about not being able to leave my house, so that
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: when I'm too scared to leave my house after watching
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: the movie, that I don't have to leave my house.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: Makes sense? Yeah, you don't have to travel back from
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: a theater to get to your house. All right. Well,
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: next up we have lock Box, which you did not watch, right,
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: you didn't watch this trailer? Okay, so I miss this one. Technically,
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: this trailer came out last week, but I did not
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: see it, so I thought I would cover it early quickly.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: This is based off the narrative horror podcast series called
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: Knife Point Horror. So that's cool that you know. This
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: is a podcast that then has been adapted into a
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 2: film based upon the trailer. I am not familiar with
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: this podcast, by the way. I just think it's cool
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: that it's being adapted, but based on the trailer, it's
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: about a man named Winthrop who is accused of murdering
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: a neighbor. Winthrop denies responsibility. It appears there's some sort
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: of evil presence that's capable of possessing people and making
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: them do horrifying things. Not much beyond that kind of
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: general vibe from the trailer anyway, there's a lot of
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: creepy imagery in It comes out on July third in theaters.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: I thought that the imagery looked good. I thought, like,
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 2: it doesn't. I don't know that it's doing anything new,
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 2: but what it's doing, it looks like it's doing pretty well.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: Like it's done by capable people.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so not something that I would necessarily rush out
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: to see. And finally, this is just a story. It's
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: not a trailer yet, but Glenn Danzick, this could have
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: been in thirty seconds or less, but it was going
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: so long. I was like, I'm just pigging in the
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: harr hutch. Glenn Danzig has already made two films. I'm
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: being very generous with calling them films. One is called
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: Vertica and the other is called Death Writer and the
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: House of Vampires. And I found both of them to
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: be nearly unwatchable. But maybe his next movie, which is
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: an adaptation of his own graphic novel Hell Mask, will
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: be different. It's set in medieval times, but not medieval times.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: The themed restaurant and entertainment venue rather just in the
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: general era of medieval times. And it goes into production
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: in August. And what I have to say to Glen
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: Danzig is fool me once, shame on you for me
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: three times, and I'm gonna have to call my mother,
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: which is only only funny if you know Glen Danzig
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 2: did that song.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know that he did that song, but.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, yeah, anyway, that's it for the hard Hutch.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: Oh oh, sorry, turns out I just kept on turning
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: around instead of like going straight, and we've actually it's
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 2: just a room, all right, let's just go out.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: Well that's that's delightful. But we've spent so much time
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: in there that it's a brand New Day and the
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: sun is high and all the Britain now. But I'm
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: not going to go into the doctor horrible song.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: And there's a Spider Man's and there's.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: A Spider Man's. We got a trailer for Spider Man.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: Brand New Day shows a few more bits of what's
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: going to be in the movie.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: Yep. We see some scorpion action, which was cool. I
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: like that, And we saw an introduction of a mysterious
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: antagonist and I'm sure someone somewhere has talked about who
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: this person is or what they are, and luckily I
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: have it. So to me, I'm just like, huh, I
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: have no idea who this is.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: I have seen it, but I've seen like three three
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: like not a definitive this is who it is. I've
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: seen positing on it could possibly be three different characters.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: And I won't share with you because you said you
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: didn't want to know, but we also.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: No, No, I'm happy at being a mystery. I'm hoping
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: that when I see it that will still be the case.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: You still see some more Frank Castle, and we see
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: some more Hulk, and we see some more Hand.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, it looks like it looks like that Peter
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: Parker is kind of developing the same sort of Spider
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: mutation that his Altar Dimension counterpart has. I was about
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: to say the Sam Raimi version.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, where I was going to say Ben
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: Riley from Spider Noir.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: Also true. Yeah, he also has the same thing right
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: where it's not like makechnical web shooters, it's organic webshooters. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: it was kind of interesting. You're wondering, like, Okay, is
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: this like is this a byproduct of the whole multi
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: dimensional adventure of the fun the Last Spider Man movie.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: We also see him interacting with his former friends, former
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: friends because they no longer remember him because of the
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 2: events of the Last Spider Man Movie where he he
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: did a control a delete on everyone's memory of him.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: Same with Bruce Banner. He doesn't remember Peter Parker or
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 2: Spider Man anymore. So, But what do you actually think
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: of this trailer?
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: I thought it looked good. Spider Man has been one
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: of the ones that I thought has been consistently fun
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: to watch, even if like the overall story is not
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: the strongest. I thought the journey has been fun for
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: every Spider Man movie we've had in this Tom Holland era,
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: I really like in this trailer. Maybe this is a
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: just me thing, but it felt like there was something
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: so integral about his friendship. And I think they say
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: it in the trailer about his friendship with his friends
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: that don't remember him, that they almost there's something in
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: there that's trying to get them to remember, you know,
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: or get back to that point, like it's a fixed
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: point in history or something.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it gets very doctor who ish. Yeah, I like
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: this trailer. I agree entirely with what you said. I
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: think the first Spider Man film is still my favorite
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 2: of the three that already exist. I thought the second
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: one was really good, and then the third one. I
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 2: liked moments of the third one, but overall I felt
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: the third one was really messy, not bad, just messy.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: But the first two I think are are pretty strong,
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 2: and I'm hopeful that this one will be strong as well.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: It's I agree also that I think the Spider Man
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: franchise has been the one to take the least amount
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: of damage from the post Avengers kind of slump that
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: Marvel's been in. So here's hoping that this follows suit.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 2: It comes out July thirty first, and then next up,
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: we got a trailer for Star Trek Strange New Worlds,
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: and I'll let Arie'll talk about it because I've never
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 2: watched this show.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I like Strange New Worlds way more than I
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: thought I would. Actually is one of my favorite current
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: Star Trek shows. That's the only ones remaining, honestly, And
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: this trailer looks like they're setting up Spock to move over,
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: because we know that he moves over to Captain Kirk's crew. Right,
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: like that's Cannon and it looks like they're setting up
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: that story in that friendship, which is pretty cool. I'm
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: excited for it. I'm super excited for it. I'm excited
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: for the fact that once this is done, maybe we'll
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: get a new original series.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: So a new Star Trek the original series, except'll be
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 2: Star Trek the Original series the reboot. Yeah. I that's
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: the only part about the teaser that really got me
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 2: at all is I was like, Oh, they're doing the
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 2: small belt because we already know where this story's going,
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: so they're playing off of that with all this foreshadowing
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: that's not really foreshadowing because we've already seen that story. Yeah,
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: but but it's it's like a cheap and it kind
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: of makes me think of improv scenes where you reincorporate
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: something that you introduced earlier in the scene. Like whenever
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 2: you do that on stage, the audience thinks it's magic,
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 2: and all it really is is just remembering what you
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 2: already did.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, but there's there, you know, and I know
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: that there is a like a skill to that because
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: it's active listening, which is what makes improv thrive. Partially
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: an improv scene, but also like things get bonkers and
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: sometimes there's a lot of offers and it's hard to
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: remember everything or or if you do remember it, to
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: incorporate it in an interesting way.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 2: So yeah, and like we were saying earlier, like there
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: are you know, there are are people who are very
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: funny who are not great in provisors because they lack
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 2: that skill of listening. And what they're doing is they're already,
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: like their brain's already going on a million miles a second,
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 2: thinking of the next way to be funny, which is
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 2: a valuable part of improv. But if that's all you're doing,
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: then you're not really paying attention to what's going on
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: around you, and you're not building toward anything. You're just
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: having little moments. I have been on stage with performers
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: like that, and it is, it is challenging. I'm right here,
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 2: not you. I was thinking of someone who's someone who's
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: someone who's notoriety goes beyond improv.
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: I know, I know, Yeah, it can be challenging, but
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: it is. It is hard because you you do as
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: people like we try to foreshadow our own lives, right,
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: and especially if you have any sort of like ADHD
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: or anything like that, you're anticipating what's going to happen next,
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: so you can prepare for a lot of times. So
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: that's it. It is a hard skill to turn off
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: to be able to be an active listener or do
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: both at the same time. They can hinder your creativity.
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 2: But something that's not hard to do is to make
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: reference to something you know is going to happen because
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 2: it happened more than fifty years ago, which is what
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 2: That's the thing I was referred to with the Star Trek,
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: the Star Trek making a foreshadowing, but it's like, not
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 2: really foreshadowing because we got the original series back in
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 2: the sixties.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: See, I thought you were segueing into the next thing.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: I'm like, Shrek is not fifty years old.
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: No, no, we've got a teaser for Shrek five, that
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: is the next story. That was not what I was referencing,
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: but we can move on to it. So I have
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: only I think only ever seen the first one. Maybe
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 2: I've seen the second one, but I have no memory
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: of it. I know i've seen the first one. So
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 2: when I was watching this as like, okay, it makes
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: sense that Shrek and Fiona have kids. They look like
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: they're teenagers at this point in Shrek five, so the
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: only things I took away were that Shrek and Fiona
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 2: have teenage kids, the gingerbread Man has a Jerry rig
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: butt made out of gum drops, and they do a
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: dig at Frozen by having a grubby snowman makeing oloff
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 2: joke essentially.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's about it. I have seen the first
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: two Shreks and knew that they made some like Puss
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: and Boots movies. I don't think i've seen the last two.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: I definitely haven't seen four. I didn't even know they
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: made a four. I may have forgotten they made a three.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: I enjoyed the first one.
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: Did they introduce Puss and Boots in the second one movie? Yes,
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: then that I have seen that one because I have
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 2: seen the Puss and Boots character, and I've not watched
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 2: any of the standalone movies. So I have seen the
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: first two Shrek films. Yeah. I've never been the biggest
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 2: Shrek fan, largely because at least the first one, I
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 2: felt that it was leaning way too hard on reference
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 2: in general and jabs at Disney in particular, and like
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 2: largely the whole movie was fueled by Katzenberg being really
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 2: upset about how he was treated at Disney, and he
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: was treated badly. Don't get me wrong, but like when
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 2: your whole movie is fueled by Spie, it's like it
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 2: doesn't It doesn't always work for me, and I'm one
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 2: of the kind of like hook Shrek just was never
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 2: for me. I could appreciate little bits and pieces and
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: I didn't think it was badly done, but it wasn't
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 2: for me, so I've never really stuck with it.
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: I feel like Shrek. Shrek's soundtrack gave birth to like
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: Guardians of the Galaxy and things like that, sensibility wise
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: a little.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 2: Bit well, except that I feel like the Guardians of
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: the Galaxy incorporates the music way better than Shrek did.
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 2: Like like to me, like to me, like the stuff
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 2: in Shrek most of the time, with a few exceptions,
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, little Drop of Poison I think was incorporated
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: well in Shrek. But most of the time it just
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: felt like, let's just do a song here.
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: I do love the Fairy Godmother singing holding out for
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: a Hero, because I had forgotten that song existed, like
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: I had heard it, but I did did my memory
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: after that point.
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 2: It doesn't help also, like because I don't remember even
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 2: that part, but I do remember that holding Out for
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: a Hero became a huge song like a year ago
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: because it was being featured in like two or three
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: different geeky properties at some point. I can't even name
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: for you all the ones that it was in, but
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 2: it was in a couple and I was just like, Oh,
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: the song's having a renaissance. Okay, Oh, I meant to
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: ask you for he man? Did they include, uh, what's up?
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 2: By four non blondes?
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: Do you do you want me to give you these spoilers?
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna see it until it comes to streaming
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 2: or unless you could.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: Convince friend of the show Shade and take you this weekend.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if she wants
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: to see he Man.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: It's so fun, though.
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 2: I just I've I've seen the behind the scenes stuff
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: where their lip syncing to the disco version, but I
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: didn't know if like the actual song shows, because like,
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: if it does, then that song's also having a renaissance
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 2: because it's also featured in the Street Fighter movie trailers.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: Scroll away for twenty seconds if you don't want to
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: hear this, Yes, it does, but they the way that
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: they integrate it is freaking brilliant.
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 2: Okay, I was hoping that it would be just because
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 2: I was like, you know, it was such a great meme. Anyway,
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: Shrek five, we could go.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: Any song, any song that you think should be incorporated
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: in a fun way, or in a cheeky or in
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: a spoofy way into he Man has been in the
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: best way possible.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 2: Okay, Well, hopefully I'll be able to experience that before
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 2: I have to, you know, wait for video on demand
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 2: or whatever. But Shrek five comes out summer of twenty
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 2: twenty seven, so this was just a little teaser. We
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: were getting nothing that convinces me that I need to
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 2: see it. Like the whole jabbing at Disney thing has
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 2: gotten so old. I mean, first of all, you don't
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 2: need to Disney is doing its best to jab itself.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: All the time, so yeah, yeah you can.
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: You can just sit back and let them do.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: It for sure. And our next thing falls all into
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: the category of we've done seen this, which is a
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: trailer for HEXT.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 2: I actually love this trailer, so I don't disagree that
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 2: it's stuff that we've seen before, but I love this trailer.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: It looks cute, but it looks like it looks like
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: they're like, oh, this is popular, and this is popular,
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: and this is popular and this is popular. Let's mash
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: it together. It looks like owl House and Turning Red
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: and Miss Marvel and.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: Boy there's conto there. Yeah yeah, I okay. So Hext
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 2: is a story about a high school student she discovers
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 2: she has witchy powers, and she gets sucked through a
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: vortex into a magical world called Hex. Comes out November
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: twenty fifth. I thought I thought it looked really charming. Honestly,
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: I think I'm excited to see this. I also thought
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 2: I wrote to Shae and I said, Shay, this is
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 2: the most shade coded trailer I think I've ever seen.
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: There's a Fleetwood Max song playing over witchy stuff. I'm like,
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 2: you need to watch this trailer because I feel like
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 2: they made this movie specifically for you.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: I just I think it looks charming. It could be
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: a really fun story. I wish the trailer didn't focus
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: on so many points that felt key that have also
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: been key in other movies from this company.
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's fair. Like I get what you're saying.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 2: I just it was one where I was like, I
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 2: could dig on this. I have a feeling that this
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: will be one of those surprise movies that I find
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 2: really entertaining, Like Turning Red. I didn't expect to like
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 2: nearly as much as I did, for sure, But I
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 2: really enjoyed that movie and Kanto the same, right, I didn't.
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 2: I didn't think, yeah, Boots and Cats and Boots and Cats,
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 2: I didn't expect to love in Kanto, and I came
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 2: away from that film like destroyed, but in the best way.
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 2: So Yeah, I'm really hoping that HEXT. I hope HEXT
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 2: is more than what the surface level appears to be.
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 2: I'm hopeful for that. But even if it's just the
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 2: surface level, I think I'm going to be okay with
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 2: this one. Like it looks more interesting to me than say,
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 2: Strange Worlds did.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that is that is true. That is true. It
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: looks cute. I might be jaded. This week, the next
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: trailer we have is for a movie called Kill Code,
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: which reminded me a little bit of Blade Runner.
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this movie was actually shot back in twenty twenty two,
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: which suggests that maybe it ran into some issues because
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 2: that's a long time between shooting and release four years.
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 2: That's a long time. So it's a dystopian future sci
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 2: fi story, and I wrote, apparently a businessman has created
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 2: a technology to turn criminals into law enforcers via a
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 2: deadly watch that will only be removed if the criminal
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 2: meets certain expectations. It stars Harvey Kaitel, Peter storm Ayer,
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 2: Frank Grillo, Isn't It, Tyrese Gibson, Isn't It? But to
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 2: me this came this felt to me like a straight
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 2: to video kind of movie.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like it's definitely got that. I hate to say it,
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: because he's definitely moved past it, but like that Frank
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: Grillo B movie feel to it, but with a higher
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: production value on the CGI. So maybe that's where the
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: delay came in. Yeah, Originally I was gonna say, I'm
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: delighted that he has time to do this in the
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: middle of all of the DC stuff he's doing, which
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: I guess it's true. But this movie is full of
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 1: actors who don't need to make B movies, so they
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: must really enjoy it or like the crew, or like
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: the story.
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah it's or yeah, or twenty twenty maybe back in
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty two, things were slow, you know, because it's
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 2: been a few years.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: They were definitely slow.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 2: Bad. Yeah. This comes out on video on demand on
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 2: July twenty fourth, So it really is kind of a
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 2: made made for video kind of movies. Just now made
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 2: for video is made for streaming, right, Like it's that's
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 2: the new model. I don't think. It didn't really strike
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 2: me as something like I actually didn't think it looked
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 2: very good. Maybe I shouldn't say it in absolute terms
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 2: like that. It didn't look appealing to me. It felt
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 2: like it had all the pieces, but it wasn't quite
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 2: fitting together, right, And maybe that's just the trailer. That's
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 2: also a possibility. I always say, like, it's entirely possible
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 2: to write to make a bad trailer of a decent project,
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 2: So that could be the case. Yeah, that's a great example.
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 2: Like the first trailer for Dungeons and Dragons, I was like,
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 2: there were moments where I was like, I sure hope
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 2: the movie is more like this and less like the
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 2: rest of the trailer. And fortunately, for a large part,
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 2: it was more like the stuff that I found really appealing. Yeah.
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they cut out the funny parts of the joke
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: for the trailers, but they were funny in the movie.
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: Something that I think will be fun and funny is
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: the French version of Zoro.
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and by French version, ariel literally means it is Zorro.
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 2: It's not like the French counterpart to Zorro. It's the story.
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 2: It's a story of Zorro, but it's made by a
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 2: French company in French, but it's set in Lass Angeles.
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 2: The characters are all, you know, Spanish, not French. But
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 2: I was. I was skeptical when you sent this to me,
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 2: and then within like thirty seconds of watching the trailer,
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 2: I was on board because it feels like they capture
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 2: the fun, adventurous spirit of Zorro with plenty of good
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 2: humor in it, without it being like, it's not slapsticky,
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 2: it's not zany. It's just really amusing stuff like the
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 2: fact that Zorro is maintaining his secret identity from his
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 2: own wife and it's creating marital issues. Yeah, but in
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 2: a funny way.
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: It's stars Jean Jardin, who was amazing in The Artist,
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: which is another movie that I absolute French. Was it French? No,
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: it was black and white. Anyhow, it's a movie that's
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: absolutely amazing and wonderful and kind of follows the journey
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: of early film. So I love his work.
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the basic premise here is that Don Diego de
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 2: la Vega aka Zorro, Zorro's alta our ego. This is
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 2: twenty years after the events of the normal Zorro story,
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 2: so he's retired as Zorro. He is now the mayor
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 2: of Los Angeles. However, he recognizes there are some problems
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 2: that the city faces that cannot be solved through you know,
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 2: normal means, that can only be solved with a masked vigilante.
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 2: So he brings Zorrow out of retirement. And so you've
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 2: got this guy who's like twenty years past his prime,
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 2: but he's still quite capable and very swashbuckley, trying to
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 2: to to take on these these problems in Los Angeles
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 2: and to restore like people's belief and love of Zorro.
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 2: And I gotta say, like, the little bits of swashbuckling
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 2: we get to see in the trailer look great. I
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 2: really loved the look of it me too.
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: And something I should say is, and I didn't realize
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: this till just now maybe you already did, is that
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: this came out in twenty twenty four in France, and
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 1: the reason why it's hitting our metrics now is because
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: it's streaming in the US in August.
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 2: Awesome. I'm glad you looked that up because I actually
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 2: was about to say, you know what, I didn't. This
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 2: is one where I missed it. I didn't write down
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 2: when it.
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: Comes out, Well, sorry, it will. It will actually premiere
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: June thirtieth, twenty twenty six, on MHz Choice and then
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: run through August eleven to twenty twenty six. I want
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 1: to watch it. I don't have MHC Choice. I'm not
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: sure where to get MHC Choice, but I'm going to
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 1: look into it.
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say, like, I've never even heard
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 2: of that platform, but yeah, this trailer, I mean, it's
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 2: definitely a throwback to those ro mantic swashbuckling series in films.
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 2: You don't really see those very much anymore. So it
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 2: was fun to see it, and I think they looks
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 2: like they did a great job. So hopefully this is
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 2: a case where the whole series is able to live
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 2: up to the trailer. It's the opposite of what I
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 2: was talking about earlier, and the trailer isn't just here's
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 2: the best moments and then everything else is kind of
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 2: a drag. Yeah yeah.
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: Apparently it's a subscription streaming platform specializing in foreign language dramas.
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 2: Well. Next up, we have a short film that is
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 2: also being treated as kind of a proof of concept
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 2: for a possible feature length project further down the line.
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 2: It is called Violet and marlow Rob a Bank, and
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 2: it's stop motion animation about some bunnies robbing banks to
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 2: steal carrots from a greedy company. CEO.
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this one gave me vibes of how to rob
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: a bank.
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, except with bunnies. Uh yeah. The whole the
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 2: whole thing here is that you know, you've got this
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 2: this corrupt business leader who has stolen carrots and carrot
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 2: seeds and like demands to be the sole source for
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 2: carrots in the bunny world. And so Violet and Marlowe
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 2: take it upon themselves to be kind of like Bonnie
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 2: and Clyde and become full key ros as they are
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 2: stealing from the bank. I will warn you the whole
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 2: thing is available on YouTube. Like it's it's a short film.
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 2: I'll warn you that it has a tragic ending. Yeah,
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 2: I didn't like it, you didn't like the ending, or
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 2: you didn't like the whole thing.
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 1: Wasn't a huge fan of the whole thing, although I
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 1: liked the art style, but no, I definitely didn't like
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: the ending.
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 2: I didn't Well, I like it. It's bittersweet but mostly better.
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it's it's. The whole thing is available on
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 2: YouTube to watch if if you want to check it out.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 2: But again, like I said, the filmmaker kind of treating
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 2: it as sort of a proof of concept of possibly
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 2: fleshing it out for a full length film. And you know,
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 2: we've seen that happen on YouTube a few times, sometimes
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 2: too not great effect, where it turns out that whatever
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 2: the central idea was for the YouTube short film couldn't
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 2: really support a feature length. So there's the question of
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 2: whether this could do that. But then again, also, animated
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 2: features can be shorter than live action, Like you could
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 2: get away with a seventy minute animated film.
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that is true. Speaking of animation, do you miss
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: gravity falls? Do you miss like the sensibilities of gravity falls?
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 1: Because if so, Disney's got a new cartoon for you
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: called The Doomies.
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I have a feeling this will be the thing
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 2: that my dad will talk about at length next time
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 2: we hang out. Yeah, this animated series is coming to
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 2: Disney pluss. It follows a team of kids who are
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 2: attempting to save the world from a supernatural doomsday, mostly
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 2: doomsday monsters. I think there's probably gonna be like a
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 2: Monster of the Week kind of theme going for this series,
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 2: if I were to guess. But it looks very well done,
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 2: like it's got some It's got some great writing and
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 2: voice acting. So and I like the animation style.
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it looks cute. I enjoyed Gravity Falls. I
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: liked tak gravity Falls animation style a little bit more
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 1: than the Doomies because it's slightly cleaner, same style, slightly cleaner.
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 1: But the story looks like a lot of fun. I
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 1: like Monster of the Week kind of stuff.
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I was like, there's a little bit of
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 2: love crafty and sensibility sewn into that as well, So
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 2: that'll be fun. Comes out June twenty sixth. Definitely feel
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 2: like this is aimed at the same people who like
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 2: stuff like Gravity Falls. Like you said, I think that's
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 2: hitting the nail on the head.
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I put this into the lineup,
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 1: and I don't even know how to talk about it.
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 1: Our next thing is a trailer for hot Spot, which
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 1: is a movie about gets kind of similar to Kill Code,
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 1: about a group of people trying to fight back against AI.
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and robotics and cybernetics and stuff. So this is
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 2: a Polish production, although I think it was all shot
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 2: in English, but at least it looks like everyone's speaking English,
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 2: although that could have been changed by AI, right, Like
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 2: they could have been speaking in Polish and then had
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 2: it translated in AI, masking the lips to be English.
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but.
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: I hope not.
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I hope not too. But it's a Polish director
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 2: and Polish at least some of the actors are Polish,
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 2: but they're all like European. It seems to follow a
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 2: detective who, at least in the trailer comes across as
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 2: a total jackass. Yeah, like it's like eurotrash jackass. But
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 2: he's told he has to investigate a refugee center, as
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 2: is said in like a dystopian future. And in that
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 2: center there's a woman who's accused of being a quote
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 2: unquote cyber witch, and she says, you could call me
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 2: a witch. But I'm not cyber, so cringe. Yeah. And
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 2: then like she talks, there's a point where she's she
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 2: says that she has made the detective her animal, and
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 2: then we get a couple of shots of the detective
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 2: behaving like an animal that's also very cringey. It looks
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 2: really weird, I wrote, I said, this looks weird, comes
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 2: out August twenty. First, it kind of looks like if
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 2: David Lynch had done Blade Runner and then didn't have
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 2: editorial control.
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, to me, it feels one. It also feels
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 1: a little bit like, and I know you haven't watched
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 1: this night watch the European scene. It like it looks
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 1: a little cleaner and a little prettier, even though it's
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 1: still a gritty looking movie. The interesting thing to me
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 1: is it's gotten Naomi replaced in it. Who. I don't
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 1: know a lot of the actors, but I know her.
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 1: She was in Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Sherlock Holmes, Prometheus,
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 1: Dead Man Down, Alien Covenant like Stockholm, tons tons of stuff, right,
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 1: she plays the non cyber witch. Yeah, and she's not Polish, so,
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 1: but I don't know, maybe she speaks Polish.
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 2: Well. Yeah, like I said, some of the actors were
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 2: European but not our European, not was European. Some of
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 2: them are European but not necessarily Polish, So yeah, I
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 2: don't I feel like this was a Polish production, but
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 2: not necessarily you know, completely staffed by people of from Poland.
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 2: But it's it's weird looking. I don't know if it's
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 2: weird looking enough for me to watch it, but I'm intrigued.
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 2: I worry that it'll be one of those that I'll
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 2: start watching and within twenty minutes be like, nah, this
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 2: isn't for me, and I'll but maybe not. I don't know.
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm intrigued. It might be a bad movie
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 1: night watch for me. Even if it's not a bad
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 1: movie night, it might relegate it to those realms.
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 2: It's one of those where I almost feel like I
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 2: would need to screen it first myself before inflicting it
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 2: on other people, like, because it could be where it's
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 2: like good enough, where it doesn't really merit bad movie, right.
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 2: But then, to be fair, your definition of bad movie
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 2: is different from mine, because I know at least once
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 2: you've talked about something being on your bad movie night,
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, but that's not a bad movie.
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 1: I wish I remembered which movie that was, but.
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be someone like Big Trouble and Little China
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 2: or something.
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 1: Oh. I think that's a fun movie. But it is
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 1: also a bad movie.
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 2: It's a great movie, but a bad movie. It's it's
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 2: a perfect movie, but not a bad movie.
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 1: Here's the thing. I'm not dissing it. I love it.
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 1: It's just cheesy, schlocky, but.
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 2: It But that's the thing is that it intended to be.
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 2: That's why, Like, to me, a bad movie is one
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 2: where it tends to do one It wants to do
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 2: one thing and stead ends up doing another thing. It
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 2: doesn't it doesn't achieve what it sets out to do.
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 2: Whereas I would feel that Big Trouble in Little China
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 2: one hundred percent understood the assignment.
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 1: I mean I feel the same way about Hudson Hawk.
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 2: So it's another I feel like, really I feel Hudson Hawk.
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 2: Really I feel that movie Hudson Hawk got it like
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 2: ninety percent, but there's like a ten percent there where
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 2: I'm like, well, maybe they understood the assignment. But man,
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 2: that greats on.
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 1: By the way, never watch Remo Williams after Hudson Hawk
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 1: because it will it is a bad movie. But after
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 1: Hudson Hawk, it's so boring.
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 2: See. I love Rema Williams, except for the fact that
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 2: Joel Gray's performance is incredibly racist.
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 1: I fully agree. We watched but I did a bad
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 1: movie night with some friends and it was Hudson Hawk
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 1: and then Remo Williams. But Hudson Hawk is so goofy
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 1: and fast paced.
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and Rema Williams is a slower moving nineteen eighties
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 2: style sci fi action movie.
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah that is still well when you look at it nowadays.
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 1: Dumb as bricks, but fun.
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Misogynist and racist but also fun.
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 1: Yes, So, But we've got one more story to talk about,
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 1: one more trailer to talk about. Do you all remember
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 1: the time that John Krasinski tried to be Indiana Jones? No,
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 1: I barely do either.
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 2: Let's be fair. What we're talking about is Tad and
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 2: the Magic Lamp. And this is from a long standing
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 2: series that we're not familiar with because it's a Spanish
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 2: language series. Okay, so we don't. We are not familiar
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 2: because in Spain it's Todayo Todeo Jones, not Tad Jones. Okay,
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 2: but it is essentially an Indiana Jones ripoff, so you're
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 2: one hundred percent of money.
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 1: And the main character looks like John Krasinski. It's animated,
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 1: but the character design looks like John Krasinski, who recently
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 1: did Fountain of Youth, which has a very similar divibe
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 1: to Indiana Jones and to Tad Jones and.
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 2: The magic Lamp, Magic Lamp. No.
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 1: I think it looks cute it, but it doesn't look original.
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 2: It absolutely isn't. I mean it's very clearly, like, for
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 2: one thing, with the surname Jones, you can tell they're
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 2: more than leaning on Indiana Jones here, Like the aesthetic
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 2: is all over it, like including his outfit. It's very
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 2: Indiana Jones coded, right. But this is a series of
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 2: there are a series of I want to say, comics
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 2: or books maybe, but also or maybe it's just animated.
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but it's there's a whole series of
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 2: these things that are Spanish language films and shorts, and
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 2: this is obviously an English version of one of those
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 2: Spanish ones. It looks very cute, like you were saying, Ariel,
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 2: does not look original at all. The premise here is
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 2: that Tad Jones has a couple of apparently ancient Egyptians
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 2: hanging out with him, and they get a magic lamp,
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 2: and then one of the ancient Egyptians wishes to go
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 2: back to their their time and place. Although it looks
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 2: to me like they end up in like Aztec or
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 2: incin times, it's not. It's not an Egyptian pyramid. It's
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 2: like an Aztec pyramid. Anyway, it it's very silly. Stuff
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 2: kind of reminds me a little bit of Disney slash
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 2: Pixar in the sense of the sense of humor we see.
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 2: I don't I don't know if that carries over through
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 2: like compelling storytelling, but the humor reminded me of that.
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: Also pokes a little bit of fun at Disney.
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, yes, yeah, with a little bit lad and
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 2: jokes there. But yeah, I thought I thought this looked cute,
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 2: but otherwise not terribly remarkable.
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So here's the thing, Like most of the things
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 1: we talked about reminds me of other stories we've gotten
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 1: recently or we have had a lot of, and some
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 1: of them just are because there's sequels or remakes or whatever.
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 1: It's not necessarily a bad thing. I just like when
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 1: we have a few more very original things peppered in
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 1: like last week with I Frank Elda, which I also
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 1: love that these international properties are getting American play now
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 1: because I feel like, yeah, there's not enough of that, right.
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 1: There are so many great storytellers, and we get it
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 1: such a small fraction of.
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 2: Them here, Yeah, like you like, like like, for the
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 2: longest time, if you wanted to talk about like a
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 2: Spanish speaking, you know, filmmaker, it was pretty much Guillermo
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 2: del Toro and that was it, right, But there's so
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 2: many more out there who have told great stories. Like
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 2: I feel like in the horror field, we've done a
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 2: little better than other genres, maybe because just horror is
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 2: easier to translate, you know, the whole concept, like the
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 2: stuff that's scary to us is also scary to lots
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 2: of other people around the world and vice versa. So
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 2: horror I think has done a little better, like Japanese horror,
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 2: even French horror. But yeah, in other genres, like it's
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 2: been pretty piecemeal. So seeing more of these get us
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 2: distribution is cool because like, I want to know what,
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 2: you know, what's resonating elsewhere around the world. In some
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 2: cases it's going to be stuff like this where it's
• 1:40:26
  Speaker 2: clearly piggybacking off of stories that have already been told
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 2: in America. But in other cases it's going to be
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 2: stuff that we've just never been exposed to, and that's
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 2: kind of cool.
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. So even though I was ragging on
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 1: it a little bit for not being original, I'm super
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 1: into us getting story, you know. I know we occasionally
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: try to include movies that are premiering other places that
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 1: maybe aren't getting marketing here as well, but you can
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 1: eventually find because yeah, let's get past the stuff that's
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 1: rehashing and move into some fun original content. Agreed, But
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 1: the landscapers are telling me that it's Margarita time, so
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 1: we should wrap this up. Sounds good, Jonathan. Yeah, I
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 1: know you've got quite an editing journey ahead of you
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 1: because it's been, as a standard for us, a bit
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 1: of a fraught recording process. So do you have time
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 1: to tell people how to reach you.
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 2: I have all the time in the world, aerial because
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 2: I'm not working today. So if you want to get
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 2: in touch with me, the best way to do that
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 2: is to first reach out to mister Glenn Danzig and
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 2: to say what you really need to do is write
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 2: a tiny part like essentially a cameo in Hell Mask
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 2: for Jonathan Strickland. Now you should know that Jonathan Strickland
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 2: has said some pretty critical things about your movies. So
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 2: our request is that you to kill Jonathan Strickland on
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 2: screen in whatever humiliating or disgusting way you see fit,
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 2: and he will totally do it because while he does
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 2: find a lot to criticize about your movies, he also
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 2: is not proud and would love to be a viscerated
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 2: on screen. So if you need someone to be a
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 2: viscerated on screen, reach out to Jonathan Strickland. Once I
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 2: get that email from Glenn Danzig saying I'm welcome to
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 2: be part of the production, I'm happy to answer any
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 2: questions you might have.
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 1: And if you aren't interested in being in a horror movie,
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 1: though I don't know why, because they're really fun to
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 1: perform in, you can reach out to us the standard
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 1: methods on Facebook and Instagram and threads. We're Larger Drunk
