  Discount, the podcast that always outsources its gags. This week we are Hitter
• 0:43
  review episode h ab F one zero. It is Kiss Kiss Bang Bangalore,
• 0:48
  And I'm guy who's the guy who always plays hard to milk. How good
• 0:52
  is outsourcing things? Man? I say that as somebody who lost his job
• 0:56
  due to outsourcing, But hey, if I didn't lose my job due to
• 0:58
  outsourcing, oh wouldn't be here. Make you're living talking to you and talking
• 1:00
  about the Simpsons. That's correct, And you know, we're keeping it in
• 1:03
  the house for the most part. We're outsourcing a few tasks now and then,
• 1:07
  but generally speaking, we're we're keeping in house. But there's something to
• 1:11
  be said for outsourcing. Certainly, yes, I mean, I mean,
• 1:15
  I'm when it comes to jobs, I'm not pro outsourcing. But the thing
• 1:19
  is, it's hard to have a solid argument about being prouts against outsourcing when
• 1:26
  you shop at Kmart and you shop at Target and everything is made in China.
• 1:30
  It's like you want to complain and you want to fight the good fight.
• 1:34
  But then you go and you go like, well, there's ten dollars
• 1:36
  ship at Target. I'm gonna go shit there instead. And this is actually
• 1:40
  some very nice homewares. This rug is quite delightful and so inexpensive. And
• 1:46
  kids are like kids like, I know that's you know, I locally produced
• 1:49
  t shirt, But the one that Target has Lightning McQueen on it, I
• 1:53
  want that one. Growing up in the Europe that I did as like,
• 2:00
  oh you're shopping at Target. Oh you're shopping at Chema. Good let pa
• 2:04
  though you go there, I mean the love of the reason. I like,
• 2:07
  I'll be going over there week. Some new item of the house where
• 2:10
  from Cama. That's definitely from Chema. I'm like, that's really good.
• 2:15
  And that's like the new Bunnings. Go there, you go there to buy
• 2:19
  something, you leave the twenty things you've had no intention you need that you
• 2:21
  needed absolutely and I mean, oh, I'm look, I'm not a snob
• 2:24
  when it comes to my clothing or anything like that, but when I've been
• 2:29
  going to Cama. That led Zeppelin two shirt actually looks pretty cool and it's
• 2:34
  got the led Zeppelin. Yeah, it's legit or great for just licensed shit
• 2:38
  and just like mass producing it. And it's like, you know, everyone's
• 2:40
  going to have to own this shirt. It's not going to be unique in
• 2:43
  anyway. But I want a led Zeppelin shirt. Yeah. Or I've still
• 2:46
  got a like a a Star Wars Japanese poster one that I got from Target.
• 2:52
  That's fantastic. I wear that to this day. And I got let
• 2:54
  like for Christmas maybe ten to fifteen years ago. I remember buying it when
• 2:59
  I was like sixteen. I was like yes please Yeah, and Japanese,
• 3:04
  so it's a little bit cooler. Yeah. And now they've got they've got
• 3:07
  a Space Invaders one in a Target with it's like the old it's like an
• 3:12
  old magazine. Now it's like the Ultimate Gaming Experience or something like that with
• 3:15
  an old Space Invaderson And I'm like twenty five bucks. Think I made shout
• 3:20
  out to our shout out to our pals a Kmart and Target. Yeah,
• 3:23
  if you want to enter into some kind of a note sponsorship deal, but
• 3:28
  I mean to do so, talk to Dan. Make it happen. By
• 3:30
  the way, this other podcast is brought to you by our friends at super
• 3:31
  Over pop Culture can Mention Expo where we are. We went up with Jim
• 3:36
  Cummings back a couple months ago, didn't we you? We did? Indeed,
• 3:38
  yes, um Dando and I walked among the nerds, not feeling a
• 3:44
  bit like Richard Dean Anderson. I might feeling like stars in our own right,
• 3:47
  but yeah, the one stop shop for all things I don't know,
• 3:52
  nerdy, dorgy, geeky and just pop cultural. It's good times to be
• 3:55
  had. M hmm. All right, So we're here to talk about Kiss
• 3:59
  Kiss Bang Bangalore, another one of those Simpsons go to episodes, And honestly,
• 4:02
  I don't think I had ever seen this one right, and I'm not
• 4:08
  gonna lie. I tend to give these ones a mulligan, you know,
• 4:11
  a free hit, because it's that I'm a bit of a stickler for continuity
• 4:15
  to an extent, not so much as that much of there used to be.
• 4:17
  I like there to be some sort of logic, but I know with
• 4:19
  these ones here, logic tends to get thrown out the window. It's just
• 4:21
  the Simpsons go somewhere and a bunch of local gags are made. Shit happens
• 4:26
  right when you take that all into into account. I didn't mind this.
• 4:29
  I particularly liked the Temple of Doing the final act. I was like,
• 4:31
  there's gonna be a lot of people like the probably haven't seen Indiana Jones and
• 4:34
  Temple of Doing that don't get any of this. And I read some reviews
• 4:38
  online and I'm like, yeah, these people don't know Temple of Doing because
• 4:40
  like why was home even dressed this way and all this? And I was
• 4:42
  like, that's a temple of doing. Reference guys, it's clearly what he's
• 4:45
  what he's dressed up. But I didn't mind it. I particularly though enjoyed
• 4:49
  the B plot with Richard Dan Anderson. I thought that was an awesome guest
• 4:54
  appearance. I think that was probably what I enjoyed more Yet all honestly,
• 4:58
  I liked the the Indian storyline. I mean, it's hard to call him
• 5:01
  even A plots and B plots. I mean, if I think if you
• 5:03
  dive it up the times they've probably got oh yeah, India's probably got the
• 5:08
  edge on it just a little bit. But they felt very even handed and
• 5:12
  in all honesty, Yeah, I think I like the Yeah, the RDA
• 5:15
  plots probably a bit more. I just found it kind of fun and yeah,
• 5:18
  primarily because yeah, Anderson just really went for it. He was like,
• 5:25
  Okay, yeah, I know I'm sort of the butt of the joke
• 5:28
  here, but I might turn it around a bit and have a bit of
• 5:30
  fun with it. And he had a lot of fun with it, and
• 5:32
  so did I as a result. Yeah, it was. It was really
• 5:34
  good. Apparently that's played to a bit of truth. Apparently he doesn't really
• 5:38
  like mcguiver and he much prefers Stargate SG one. I mean, I love
• 5:41
  STARHG one. But there's apparently in the episode or in the Children of Gods,
• 5:46
  which is at the first episode of Stargate and anyway, an episode of
• 5:48
  Stargate in Children of the Gods, the episodes called Sorry Children of the Gods,
• 5:53
  his character becomes visibly annoyed when another character talks about how they had to
• 5:57
  mcguiver a control system for Earth Stargate, so when they set the term a
• 6:00
  giver, he looks at him and gets annoyed. But apparently he said it
• 6:02
  like conventions and stuff that he much prefers start at HUE one. But I
• 6:06
  think now he's probably come around, because like for a while they mcgiver was
• 6:10
  sort of like not the butt of jokes, but it was just sort of
• 6:12
  like, no, was it was it like laying like mcgiver, mcgiver saying
• 6:15
  is cool. I don't think it was ever seen as cool. I guess
• 6:19
  that's why they had Patty and someone like mcgiver, because it was meant to
• 6:21
  be there. Oh my god, she's like a guiver. It wasn't.
• 6:25
  It was sort of in the middle ground. I mean, it wasn't like
• 6:27
  Miami Vice or anything like. There wasn't groundbreaking or anything. But at the
• 6:31
  same time, it wasn't completely dorky. It was just like, oh,
• 6:35
  this is one of those action shows. You're watching a you know, it's
• 6:39
  Thursday, it's seven thirty. It's time for mcgiver to meek into them miraculous
• 6:43
  escape. It's like, yeah, yeah, cool. You don't have to
• 6:45
  really pay much attention to it. You can probably you fold your laundry or
• 6:46
  whatever while it's happening. Was it kind of like Scooby Doo where like,
• 6:50
  you know, ship goes down, he solves it, he gets out of
• 6:53
  a situation, and at the end he explains how he did it. It's
• 6:57
  I never really watched mcguy form that much. Obviously, I never watched the
• 7:00
  version. I didn't watch the new version. I mean there was a version
• 7:01
  that was out just a couple of years ago. I think went for something
• 7:03
  like four seasons, four or four seasons. Good for that, I mean
• 7:08
  I love that. There are you know, we're always talking about press DG
• 7:11
  TV and it's like, oh my god, have you watched you know that's
• 7:15
  TV show. Yeah, I'll get to that. Yeah, that's really funny.
• 7:18
  But yeah, something like Barry Um whereas you know on channel nine,
• 7:24
  Channel ten, Channel seven here in Australia or ABC, NBC, CBS and
• 7:28
  the States whatever, you know, there are show the Blacklist is just wrapping
• 7:31
  up after ten years. Yeah, you know that their brand dead TV people.
• 7:38
  Man, that's actual an interesting article where it's like people are still watching
• 7:43
  these shows, Like lots of people still watching these shows. No one's watching
• 7:46
  Barry, no one's watching Succession. Despite the fact how much the media telling
• 7:49
  how great these shows are, people aren't watching them. Well yeah, I
• 7:54
  mean, something I've always said is you can't make good criticism without good art.
• 7:58
  So, you know, people who want to write about TV. I'll
• 8:00
  tend to want to write about something that's got a little bit of meat on
• 8:01
  the bone and something that you know, has a storyline that's ongoing, characters
• 8:05
  that kind of developed, whereas opposed to something like mcguiver, which is very
• 8:09
  much how's mcgever going to get out of it this week? And I ain't
• 8:13
  got out of it this week, so there's not much you can say about
• 8:16
  it, so it doesn't get as much a publicity. But yeah, I'll
• 8:20
  guarantee that, yeah, ten to twenty times more people, probably two hundred
• 8:24
  times more people are watching an episode of Say well, this leads into what
• 8:28
  you were saying about Barry. I linked on my Facebook recently this terrific article
• 8:33
  in New York magazine about the current state of TV with streaming, with press,
• 8:37
  DHTV, with PayTV, cable, all that kind of stuff, and
• 8:39
  now it's basically a real shit show at the moment. And this agent said,
• 8:43
  people watch Two and a half Men, or they watch Young Sheldon.
• 8:46
  None of the writers I represent to want to write for those shows. They
• 8:50
  want to write for Barry. Nobody's watching Barry. Everybody's watching Young Sheldon.
• 8:54
  We get paid if we get paid, right, right that stuff. Yeah,
• 8:58
  yeah, And I mean also with those shows, I mean they have
• 9:01
  the real to the best of my understanding, I mean, I think Al
• 9:03
  Powell, Matt Selman might I've talked about this, and also Bill locally talked
• 9:07
  about this. They've got the writer's room kind of set up where you can
• 9:13
  learn how to well you learn how to be a better writer for interacting without
• 9:16
  the writers. But you want to get a chance to move up the ladder
• 9:18
  as well. You become a show runner, become a producer, all that
• 9:20
  kind of stuff. But I don't know, it's an interesting interesting times.
• 9:26
  How do we get it to be talking about this again? M Yeah,
• 9:33
  But I think I think the thing between say mcgeiver and Stargate with Richard dan
• 9:37
  Anderson, I think the star, the star of Stargate was the Stargate or
• 9:41
  was the the setup, Whereas with mcguiver it was kind of like he's mcgeiver
• 9:48
  and he's played by Richard dan Anderson, Whereas it's Richard dan Anderson in Stargates,
• 9:52
  if you know what I mean. The guy like Richard Daz and Jack
• 9:56
  in Jack O'Neill was his name is Stargate. He was the star, he
• 10:00
  was the Captain Kirk of Stargate. Okay, well that, yeah, I
• 10:03
  imagine he was a pretty big get. For example, the Stargate in Stargate
• 10:05
  was the Enterprise in Star Trek. Okay, because I mean, there were
• 10:09
  so many Stargate shows, weren't there. I mean there was SG one,
• 10:13
  this one, that one, there was Star Greak Universe, wasn't there.
• 10:18
  Maybe I lost touch after SG one phinih and I started Atlantic As I think
• 10:24
  maybe I'm not sure, but SG one was like a sci fi show that
• 10:26
  even like little eight year old down I could understand and appreciate, enjoy.
• 10:30
  But I think you know, if the show is named something named a character
• 10:35
  and you're playing that character, then you know, if you're a fan of
• 10:39
  that show, you're going to be like, it's like, wow, you
• 10:41
  actually met the Stargate. No, no, you met you met Richard the
• 10:45
  Nants. But yeah, I mean, but going on, going back to
• 10:50
  what we were saying, I really liked him in this. I thought it
• 10:52
  was great fun. Yeah, I mean one of those guys that I really
• 10:54
  have a lot of. I mean, I could probably pick him out of
• 10:58
  a lineup. But at the same time, we're like, who are you
• 11:01
  in to my generation, he's Jack O'Neill, and to your generation, here's
• 11:05
  mcgiver as well as as Jack O'Neill. But we were too young for mcguiver.
• 11:11
  It was done. It was finished. Anyways, I knew what mcguiver,
• 11:13
  even heard of mcguiver was because of the Simpsons. I've never I've never
• 11:16
  seen an episode of it, only not because of the Simpsons. And I
• 11:18
  know I know the concept because he gets out of situations. I've heard about
• 11:22
  that mcguiver something. But Stargate SG one that was the thing for me,
• 11:26
  and I think that's what when he goes to a con now, I think
• 11:28
  that's what most people still absolutely it's the guy from Stargate. He's awesome a
• 11:33
  guy when they play into that here, Yes, people have come around with
• 11:37
  mcguiver now, I think like, oh yeah, mcguy, but that's awesome.
• 11:39
  I feel like now it's sort of people are just a seed as a
• 11:43
  cool concept as opposed to of that show from the eighties. Yeah, well,
• 11:46
  I think there's original mcguiver. There's the remake of mcguither, but there's
• 11:50
  also the Saturday Out Live spin off Gruber Yes, which became like the movie
• 11:56
  of that is a real cult classic. I mean, okay, oh yeah,
• 12:01
  I mean, and I'm trying to remember that some really high end director
• 12:05
  likes it a lot of thing. It might be Christopher Nolan thinks it's like
• 12:09
  like because I mean, you've got all these really prestigious film directors and every
• 12:13
  once in a while and I'll say, oh, I really like that movie.
• 12:15
  Like Terrence Malick is one of the great American filmmakers. He's like,
• 12:20
  he's made like maybe ten movies in a career that spans about fifty years.
• 12:22
  But everyone's like, oh my god, this guy's an absolutely Gene's in.
• 12:24
  One of his favorite movies is Zoolander. Yeah. Yeah, So it's like
• 12:30
  but yeah, Christopher Noel apparently likes mcgruber and a whole lot of other people
• 12:33
  do. And there was this spin off TV series as well. Because it
• 12:35
  became it sort of flopped in cinemas, but it gained this whole second life.
• 12:39
  So yeah, I think that's the reason mcguiver is still partially in the
• 12:43
  public consciousness. Of course, with just patting and Sell mccarring continue to carry
• 12:46
  the porch. It's kind of like it in the nineties, when you know,
• 12:50
  before geeked m was a thing, and now everyone likes Marvel and things
• 12:54
  like that. But now in the nineties when some really cool celebrity be like,
• 12:56
  oh yeah, I like Star Wars and everyone's like, ah, he
• 12:58
  likes Star Wars too, just like one of us. One of us.
• 13:03
  Well that's funny. I mean, because Dane I are hard workers. It's
• 13:07
  a public holiday austraight, but we're still recording folks birthday on a day that
• 13:13
  is not the King's birthday in what the hell come on, Charles? But
• 13:18
  anyway, happy quote unquote birthday too. You know, um, we're initially
• 13:22
  going to record um an episode of Tales of Future Uma Anthology episode the next
• 13:28
  episode, yeah, anthology interest one with a very geeky um supporting cast,
• 13:33
  including you know, the creator of Dungeons and Dragons. I think when that
• 13:37
  episode came out, like, well you're really out dragon out some ner classics,
• 13:41
  aren't you, Whereas nowadays be like, oh my got that guy,
• 13:45
  they got the guy, they got the High Master like carry guy gags and
• 13:50
  everyone tells me the Dungeons and Dragons. The movie is apparently awesome. I
• 13:54
  really enjoyed it. Yeah, it's find of like eighties family adventure fun is
• 14:00
  what someone described a bit like that. It's got his tongue slightly in his
• 14:03
  cheek, but not so much. It's like, hey, guys, we're
• 14:05
  sort of doing your Dungeons and Dragons movie. It's like, no, you're
• 14:07
  just having a good time. Yeah, but no, it's really funny.
• 14:11
  It's got a good sense of humor, got a great cast, you know,
• 14:15
  Chris Pines a leap from the good Chris. It's got the good Chris,
• 14:18
  everybody's favorite Chris. It's got Hugh Grant is just really really funny.
• 14:22
  Hugh grantson there is the villain, but he's stilling a fantastic That's solved me
• 14:26
  already because Hugh Grant is having some sort of renaissance at the moment, don't
• 14:30
  you reckon? He honestly is. Yeah. Yeah, between this and the
• 14:33
  he was in a couple of guy Ritchie movies and he's really good in life.
• 14:37
  What the one? It was like a it was like a mob movie.
• 14:39
  It's kind of snatches kind of vibe. It was about three years ago,
• 14:43
  I reckon, Yeah, one called The Gentleman. That's the one.
• 14:46
  That's the one, yeah, with Colin Farrell's in it, and yes,
• 14:50
  Matthew McConaughey. Yeah, and Hugh Grants in it, and because normally he's
• 14:54
  like, oh, well you know I think I well, I'm sorry,
• 14:56
  but I think I might be in love with you, that kind of thing,
• 14:58
  and he's that's what people remembering for him. Now he's just really steering
• 15:03
  into playing like really sleazy Zon at times it just doesn't give a work anymore
• 15:07
  either, like the way he just takes people out in the Red carpet,
• 15:09
  just snipes them. Oh my god, that was hilarious at the Oscars.
• 15:13
  Yeah, everyone and everyone was like hating on him for it, and I
• 15:16
  was like, not stupid question. This woman doesn't no shit. He's just
• 15:22
  like he's just basically just watching Carried It a few years ago. He's just
• 15:24
  making a mock y of always like this is a solid joke. What are
• 15:26
  we doing here? So yeah, Dungeon Dragons by me and check it out.
• 15:31
  I believe it's um available to rent or buy on your very streaming services.
• 15:37
  So yeah, give it a well, yes, let's do that.
• 15:39
  But but yeah, overall, so you enjoyed the episode, I'm not gonna
• 15:43
  lie I enjoy this one. I thought it was fine. Yeah, look,
• 15:45
  I mean I'm not. I don't know, if you're a huge fan
• 15:48
  of the Simpsons go to episodes. I mean, I thought this one was
• 15:52
  taken very possible. A lot of them are very sort of I didn't think
• 15:58
  this one is really did into that direction, but a lot of them.
• 16:00
  Two can also feel kind of dated if they have a bunch of celebrity cameos,
• 16:03
  but this one didn't have celebrity cameos. It was more than culture side
• 16:07
  of things, Like for example, when they went to England, all the
• 16:10
  references were very timely of the time. You know, you had the primary
• 16:12
  pop and cool Britannia when yeah, where this one just felt like still in
• 16:17
  twenty twenty three, what a lot of the world perceives India to be,
• 16:19
  like to be sad and racist, but that's just that's not a lot the
• 16:23
  stereo style jokes. Yeah, yeah, I don't think it was racist so
• 16:26
  much as just like when we're trotting out the stereotype, which I guess is
• 16:30
  racist. I mean, I think the maybe the most dated thing is that,
• 16:37
  you know, clearly a tank doing the boys, but now he's transferring
• 16:41
  it to what was Carvy Carvey. Yeah, yeah, but then he's doing
• 16:48
  a variety of others. Favorite one of my favorite moments. I thought it
• 16:51
  was very funny. Queen Queen Mamma jump actually wasn't too bad, but it's
• 16:56
  like, oh, well, you're going to go for it, you might
• 16:57
  as well in for a penny, in for a pound hand. I love
• 17:00
  it when you answered the phone like, how are you doing, sir?
• 17:03
  My name is Steve. I'm like, your name's like Steve. You've never
• 17:07
  bet of Steve in your life. It also felt like, I mean,
• 17:14
  particularly with the closing sort of Bollywood dance number and all, that felt like
• 17:17
  it was more that felt paid tribute and paying a much. I felt a
• 17:19
  mid pandering, but I also felt like just felt it came out of nowhere.
• 17:23
  It's like I didn't even sort of lead up to that kind of moment,
• 17:26
  just sort of like, and here's the Bollywood game, because you know
• 17:29
  Bollywood. And I was like, I get it, but it just didn't
• 17:30
  really do much for me. I'm just a sucker for those kind of dance
• 17:34
  numbers. I haven't really watched a whole lot of Bollywood in them, but
• 17:37
  the stuff that I have is really energetic and everything in a really great way.
• 17:42
  It feels like oh, we're throwing everything in here, but it all
• 17:47
  kind of worked together nicely. What I think they knew the remake of the
• 17:51
  Light the live action Aladdin did very well. I thought they captured the vibe
• 17:55
  of Bollywood in the Aladdin story so well. Just that was so bright.
• 17:59
  I thought, dare I say it? There will never be another Genie Robin
• 18:03
  Williams as Jenny. But I thought the song numbers in the live action a
• 18:06
  Aladdin, just the music and itself, not so much the acting because Robin
• 18:10
  Williams as Jenny singing the song fan like me so much better than will But
• 18:14
  the music was just had so much more omph to it. It felt so
• 18:17
  much more Bollywood esque. I thought they did a great job with with the
• 18:19
  live action Aladdin. They did end in more unified theory of Simpsons and four
• 18:25
  Finger discount Who directed that a Ladin remake? Guy Ritchie, Really I did
• 18:29
  not know that you Yeah, I mean it seemed like a really unexpected choice.
• 18:33
  But like I suppose, he's done his fair share of stuff about you
• 18:36
  know, Larrikins on the streets and transferred to wherever Aladdin took place. They
• 18:41
  once called them street rats, but now you know as I say that anymore.
• 18:47
  At the start of the old Aladdin, it's like this movie does not
• 18:51
  represent us message. Disney put the message up saying some of the themes in
• 18:56
  this movie, no, really aren't legit. Don't worry about it, guys,
• 19:00
  we don't believe in it either, but just you know, we didn't
• 19:02
  want to touch And I appreciate that at least they haven't tampered with the original.
• 19:06
  They put the notice up that's fine, but don't tamper with the movie
• 19:10
  itself. It's funny because I don't know if they're doing it here in Australia,
• 19:14
  but certainly in the US Hulu, which is the Disney Plus kind of
• 19:18
  spinoff or the more adult one they show. They have the rights to the
• 19:23
  classic seventies crime movie The French Connection. Okay, and in that Gene Hackton
• 19:30
  plays his cop who was just like a very good cop but a very very
• 19:33
  bad person and one of his traitors. He's a bit of a racist,
• 19:37
  but there's one stage where he drops a vile racial slur that we will not
• 19:42
  say on this on this podcast. They've edited that out, and they apparently
• 19:48
  did it with that sort of notification of like they didn't notify the director or
• 19:52
  anything like that. They just sort of cut it out, which is understandable
• 19:55
  in these enlightened times. At the same time, but it's the whole point
• 19:56
  of him saying it meant to emphasize how much of a dirt back is he
• 20:00
  is. I mean, this is a guy who's like a really dedicated copy
• 20:03
  wants to take down drug rings. He'll do whatever it takes to get the
• 20:04
  job done. But at the same time he is dropping in words left and
• 20:07
  right and all this kind of business. Someone pointed out it's okay, so
• 20:12
  they kind of it, kind of saying saying a racial slur, But he
• 20:15
  also was kicking the shit out of everybody without due process or anything like that.
• 20:21
  So they're keeping in all the police brutality, but they've knocked out the
• 20:23
  naughty word. Um, I don't know. Look, I love, I
• 20:27
  love I would love it if they actually add it to the point where you
• 20:30
  actually start firtypathy for the guy. So he did nothing wrong, we're talking
• 20:33
  about it. A great guy, a good cup stand up for this.
• 20:37
  I mean, I don't I don't mind places like Disney or any place sort
• 20:42
  of having a thing up the front saying this was made a while back.
• 20:47
  Some of these things, you know, they don't really fly these days.
• 20:48
  You know, that's fine. I don't know. We're resenting it in its
• 20:52
  original form, just so you know it's got this in it. Yeah,
• 20:56
  just be aware. This isn't how it should be. This is not our
• 21:00
  views anymore, you know. Yeah, so when your kid comes home and
• 21:02
  say, I called here street rats, you shouldn't do that. Well,
• 21:06
  it's like they put out the start of the Junger Book, right, and
• 21:08
  Nicholas like, what is in the Junger Book that could possibly, you know,
• 21:14
  be seen as like racist or anything like that. And I'm like,
• 21:15
  yeah, King Louis guys kind into jazz and he's a monkey. Yeah that
• 21:21
  might be it. She's like, oh, they wouldn't have meant that though,
• 21:29
  And I was like, oh no, it's a pretty deliberate decision to
• 21:30
  make that guy the monkey. But you know that we love the Jungle Book,
• 21:37
  we love King Louis, we love our man Gym commings. Certainly do
• 21:44
  love a man Jim coming. Yes. But yeah, but getting back to
• 21:45
  the also, the the rd A plot, I just thought it was a
• 21:51
  very fun spin on the obsessed fan angle. Well, usually it's the fans
• 21:55
  stalking the celebrity, but at this point where the fans make the celebrity real
• 22:00
  lies. Oh wait, I do appreci I do appreciate my previous role to
• 22:03
  the point where he sort of wants to just outlive it, like live every
• 22:06
  every single day, to the point where he sort of becomes an obsessed not
• 22:08
  a fan of himself. Almost doesn't he very much? So yeah, I
• 22:14
  mean he's using Patty and Selm where it is kind of like the mirror for
• 22:17
  him to just to get a bit of reflected glory. Absolutely, Hey,
• 22:22
  my favorite. What were your favorite moments from the episode? Though everyone knows
• 22:26
  I'm a big fan of a collar tug, so it was nice, and
• 22:30
  also a big fan of monkeys, so you combine those two. In the
• 22:34
  final fight between the elephant and the monkey, where the monkey goes, hey,
• 22:38
  nice elephant, you wouldn't hurt a monkey. I wish I was home,
• 22:41
  and I was like, I wish this monkey had glasses. For some
• 22:44
  reason, you wouldn't hit a monkey in glasses, would you look a bit
• 22:49
  of an insensitive gag, But is also the gag on home where he's like,
• 22:52
  I'm sorry him lead I was doing Karnac with my bodyguard. Now,
• 22:56
  of course me and the sentence where I was a probably the only one you
• 23:00
  get carn necked these days. But it was a rip. It was the
• 23:03
  Johnny Carson. What does he do? It's when Bart's watching it. Yeah,
• 23:07
  and he puts the puts the envelope to his head and yeah, it's
• 23:11
  like Jeopardess Chief we can bub quartet. Yeah, it's like, what's it
• 23:19
  like? What is hindu? Oh it's the it's the moisture on your hin.
• 23:26
  It so not unfunny, but yeah, RDA with the I liked everything.
• 23:30
  But when he's got the real captive crowd of the star Gate convention exactly
• 23:36
  a star Gate to a great convention. What he definitely used that line before
• 23:45
  in reality. Oh it's such a hello Cleveland. What does he say?
• 23:51
  He's aware, he's aware of where we exist, man, So yeah,
• 23:57
  I like that a lot. What did you enjoy out of this? I
• 24:00
  enjoyed, Yeah, that exact moment of Richard Dean Anderson. I liked that.
• 24:03
  I'm just gonna look for a man with medium heart, dark complexion,
• 24:06
  brown eyes, and black hair, as well as on the second go fine,
• 24:11

• 24:15

• 28:47
  Slash four figure discount link is in the description of this podcast. The original
• 28:52
  airdate of Kisskiss Bang Bangalore was April ninth, two thousand and six. The
• 28:56
  top three films is the Davis at the US Box Office to week episode d
• 29:00
  were Talladagan Knights, The Ballad of Rick Bobby Ricky, Bobby Barnyard, The
• 29:04
  CGI film Was It This classic animation that was cause in CGI? Was it
• 29:08
  Barnyard. It was just classic. I don't think I've ever seen Barnyard,
• 29:12
  but I think it might be cgi. I'm confusing it with Home on the
• 29:15
  Range. Just look that up. Actually Barnyard, Barnyard film? Who's in
• 29:19
  Barnyard? Because it doesn't sound Barnyard. That sounds like one of those ones
• 29:22
  that was not made by one of the big animation companies bought of animation stuff
• 29:29
  where and we've got access to someone who used to be on Saturday Night Live
• 29:32
  Paramount Pictures. And it stars Kevin Generals, Kevin James Costas, Oh my
• 29:37
  God, Courtney Cox, Sam Elliott, Danny Glover, Wonder Sykes, Andy
• 29:41
  McDowell, and David kirk Kirkner ken So someone a well known Australian actor once
• 29:51
  compared me to David Keckner. Look at he's Champ kind from Manka man Oh.
• 29:56
  I don't know is that a good or a bad thing? I wasn't
• 30:00
  happy with it. I'm like, I don't really see it, but like,
• 30:02
  if God wants to be this way, I'll say yes. I'm like,
• 30:06
  I don't. I don't. I don't got not as much, not
• 30:10
  much hair. Both sort of relatively heavy set people with bald heads. Yeah,
• 30:14
  that's that's it. Yeah anyway, and you're far funnier than that guy.
• 30:18
  Jesus thanks. But yeah. So that was made by Paramount Pictures,
• 30:25
  that film, and it did well the box office budget to fifty one box
• 30:27
  office of one hundred and eighteen million. Man, it's money back and then
• 30:32
  something it's short. And the third film was Pirates of the Caribbean. Dead
• 30:36
  Man's Chest was that the second one? Would it was the second one because
• 30:40
  the second one was two days four I think, wasn't it. Yeah,
• 30:42
  because it's Curse of the Black Pearl dead Man's Chest at World's End and then
• 30:49
  people stopped carrying and then people stopped. I was thinking about this the other
• 30:52
  day because there was like a fifth one. Yeah, there really was five
• 30:56
  of them. I can't believe that. Yeah, there was five of them,
• 30:57
  and I'm like, I mean I've seen the fifth one once. I
• 31:02
  think I've mentioned this on the show in the past, but I mean Parts
• 31:03
  of the Caribbeans is a franchise I wish I liked more because I got I
• 31:07
  got a double whammy of like a flu shot and a COVID booster. The
• 31:11
  other day, I was like, now I just want to lie down and
• 31:15
  let the let the bacteria do its work. I just want to. Like
• 31:21
  some times on this I wish I had like a saga that I could enjoy,
• 31:26
  but I don't think it too heavily invested in Lord of the Rings feels
• 31:29
  like a real conduct. I don't have twelve hours of a Lord of the
• 31:30
  Rings. Yeah, but every time, and I'll put on parts of the
• 31:34
  care I don't like it as much as I want to. Many times you
• 31:40
  watch those ones, I'm sure a lot. Yeah, that's right, but
• 31:41
  you gotta stop it three because otherwise, I mean, wait, there's more.
• 31:45
  I know, I know, I'm kind of I don't know about Dial
• 31:48
  of Destiny. I'm kind of looking forward to it. But at the same
• 31:49
  time, so I think everyone's excited for it, and there'll be a bunch
• 31:53
  of criticism about it, and then ten years ago buy and we'll go that
• 31:56
  wasn't as bad as we thought it was. That's just that's that's gonna be.
• 32:00
  That's gonna be how this film goes down. The problem is four is
• 32:02
  so shit that it would be hard to sort of watch them. You don't
• 32:05
  you don't want to buy the box set of all them. You want to
• 32:07
  spend money on that. Yeah, it's like going to be buying the trilogy
• 32:13
  and then the extra one. But yeah, I'm excited for it as well.
• 32:15
  Yeah, but anyway, Yeah, dead Man Chest is the second one
• 32:20
  in the original trilogy, and I think maybe the best. I kind of
• 32:22
  like it when Johnny Depp was still flying high and what a fourth from Grace
• 32:27
  Johnny Depp's He's become the new RDJ, right, Oh well yeah r DJ
• 32:32
  before iron Man. Yeah, I mean he's yeah, yeah, it's a
• 32:35
  real shame and all. Well, I mean if he's if he's a dirt
• 32:38
  bag, then it's not that much of a shame. But I don't know,
• 32:40
  just a toxic situation around from what I can gather, But yeah,
• 32:45
  it's a real like a picture of Dorian Gray kind of thing because he was
• 32:49
  so beautiful for so long and then all of a sudden, just like his
• 32:52
  face just fell. This episode was actually written by Dan Caslaneta and his wife
• 32:58
  Debby, so now they co wrote that. Really shit, Um what episode
• 33:04
  was? It was the Forest Gump take off? Was it called what was
• 33:07
  it called? Oh Gump Roast? That's right, that was a bad episode.
• 33:12
  That was no good episode. Stick to the acting. Yes, this
• 33:16
  one wasn't This one was much better. But it says here that Richard did
• 33:20
  and Anderson voiced the animation animated version of himself as a return of the favor,
• 33:24
  so to speak, because Dan guest starred on Stargate SG one the previous
• 33:30
  year. Um and Anderson's character on Stargate Jack O'Neill, is known to be
• 33:34
  a big fan of the Simpsons and often makes references to the Simpsons on STARGAHD
• 33:37
  one. How about that? Yes, apparently their buddies the sort of returned
• 33:43
  the favor. But anyway, nice and yes, it was directed by Mark
• 33:45
  Kirkland. So the episode kicks off also the cash gag as well here and
• 33:50
  also there was the couch gag with one with Homers you think it's home or
• 33:52
  anyway dealing the cards out the family because he says wooho at the end.
• 33:55
  How because they did that not long ago, didn't they. Yeah, feel
• 34:00
  like they've re used the cash gags a lot lately. Yeah, definitely.
• 34:02
  The episode kicks off with the family watching TV. I believe the birds are
• 34:07
  showing a movie at work, that's right, And then he's sitting at the
• 34:09
  back because he doesn't want to get sore eyes. And I'm like, there
• 34:13
  was a chance to make an eye gag there and they didn't do it.
• 34:15
  Oh that's right, Yeah, he shouldn't get something in his eyes. Yeah.
• 34:19
  I'm like, well, clearly that's what you got. U. No,
• 34:21
  you're making nuclear waste gag. I'm like, that's it. Sounds like
• 34:22
  you were setting yourself up for the easy, obvious gag, which would have
• 34:27
  made far more sense. But you know he's sitting there nuclear waste than Burns
• 34:30
  wants to pay tribute to people have lost their lives, and we just wants
• 34:32
  to see the movie, and we get a pro outsourcing video which I thought
• 34:36
  was very funny, actually was pretty good. I'm tired now I got more.
• 34:40
  Don't to play the lottery? Good ching. Yeah, as someone,
• 34:45
  as I said, who lost their job when I worked at Forward Right and
• 34:46
  they outsourced all of their work over to China. You know, everyone's to
• 34:52
  constantly complain that Dando please get her called ja. They are people still complain
• 34:59
  all the time, you know time and I'm not doing the shit anymore.
• 35:02
  And the second they take their jobs away, you can't take our job,
• 35:06
  GiB Yeah, you win all day. You take shortcuts all day. You
• 35:12
  do nothing all day. You literally you're supposed to be working. You're playing
• 35:15
  candy Crush like you don't do anything. What do you hate more work or
• 35:21
  poverty? Yea working out. But you haven't watched the episode of South Park
• 35:28
  recently. You have the where the dick dickon Bouse was a called where south
• 35:31
  Cartman makes his own um restaurant, where he's saying, and it's guy saying,
• 35:37
  you take the myobs. So basically they bring the guy back because basically
• 35:40
  Cartman's trying to hire people and because of the pandemic, they want mental health
• 35:45
  days and all these other days. And they're like, oh, we can't
• 35:47
  offer you all that stuff. You mean you take them my job. It's
• 35:51
  fucking so funny. It's so good, just like post pandemic work mentality.
• 35:55
  But we on going down the South Park. We've got the originally took our
• 36:00
  Jibs episode coming up? Is it? Yeah? I think it might be.
• 36:08
  I'm sorry, I just love this is our Simpsons episode of course,
• 36:12
  where this is full thing. It is getting We always somehow get back to
• 36:15
  south Park. But I feel like South Park's taken over. It's kind of
• 36:17
  leaching it and bleeding it. It's just so fun to watch South Park.
• 36:21
  It's so good. Oh yeah, but how all those phrases have just sort
• 36:24
  of end of the vernaculum and we're like America, We're about We're about this
• 36:30
  is America is like the best. But I I didn't realize we're about to
• 36:36
  review today after we finished this one, the Succubus Succubus right episode of South
• 36:39
  Park. That's where dirp right, so the dep right, but derp started
• 36:45
  in basketball. I didn't know that they created the word dirph for I knew
• 36:50
  they created it, but I didn't realize I was in basketball. So whenever
• 36:52
  there was something stupid, they go doop dop and they created the word dirp.
• 37:00
  I love it. We had to review basketball as well, by the
• 37:05
  way, we have to Oh, oh no, we're going to do this
• 37:07
  is the four Finger Discount Network. Guarantee you folks, we're going to do
• 37:10
  all the Parker and Stone movies. We're gonna do Team America, but also
• 37:16
  the early stuf. We're gonna do Cannibal the Musical or Gasmo. That'll be
• 37:21
  a fun episode. And while it's not a Parker and Stone movie, they
• 37:25
  only start on it, but we're going to do basketball as well. Did
• 37:29
  they not write Basic Ball? I thought they wrote it. No. No,
• 37:30
  it's directed by the guy who did like Flying High and No Ship,
• 37:34
  so they didn't. They didn't write it at all. I look, I
• 37:37
  imagine they threw a lot of their own stuff into it. I always thought
• 37:40
  it was their movie. I had no idea. It was definitely sold as
• 37:45
  a Parker and Stone movie. Sorry, I'm just looking up Basketball nineteen ninety
• 37:49
  eight movie. Yeah, written by David Zucker a screenwriter with a great name
• 37:53
  of Robert Locashum, Jeff Wright, and Lewis Freedman. Would have to have
• 38:00
  some say in the writer because it just feels it feels too Tray and Matt
• 38:02
  for all. You know what I mean? Yeah, all them, Yeah,
• 38:07
  all the cartmanesque stuff, that's it. I remember seeing him do the
• 38:09
  Cartman voice, like when the moving when he does it's like yeah gas,
• 38:13
  and I was like, it's like as a kid seeing him do that,
• 38:15
  it was like so cool, Oh god, Yeah, it's like him,
• 38:20
  he's the guy. He does the voice and he's doing motions to make him
• 38:24
  look like a person. As we talk about on on our Gym, Cummings
• 38:29
  podcast. It's just a magic to voice acting, isn't that where now you
• 38:34
  just as if it feels like it's the big companies that the studios focus on
• 38:39
  which name we can put on the poster as the poster, which is the
• 38:42
  best voice. Absolutely, the magic of voice acting is slowly just disappearing,
• 38:47
  isn't It's like voice actors are being pushed aside for just actors, just just
• 38:52
  a voice as opposed to voice actors. And I think we got to,
• 38:55
  you know, sort of throw a bit of the blame Disney's way to some
• 38:59
  degree. And in yeah, they started with I guess Lion King, I
• 39:02
  reckon Aladdin even but who was the who was the idea of Robin Williams?
• 39:07
  Yeah? Yeah, And then you know with Toy Story, I mean it's
• 39:09
  sold as well as it's got Tom Hanks and Tim Allen. Now everybody lums
• 39:14
  Tom Hanks and Tim Allen. Well, everyone loves Tom Hanks. But Lion
• 39:17
  King was the year before Toy Story, that's true. But I mean when
• 39:22
  he was Aladdin, that was like ninety two ninety two. Yeah, But
• 39:25
  who else was in Aladdin besides Robert Williams, Well, really just Robin Williams
• 39:29
  but it was. It was very much sold as starring Robin Williams as the
• 39:31
  gene Gene Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean there's not there aren't really.
• 39:35
  I suppose there are big names in The Lion King, but they're more
• 39:37
  sort of like I mean, Jeremy Irons, wasn't you want to ask about
• 39:42
  that stage, I guess so, yeah, James el Jones, James gold
• 39:45
  Whoopie Goldberg. Oh yeah, she's one of the Lionas. Jonathan Taylor Thomas
• 39:51
  was the top of the world at that point. He was simber. That's
• 39:52
  oh j Matthew, Betty Rodrick Yeah yeah, um and who was now the
• 39:59
  Nile was played older alum anyway was played by She was in the first season
• 40:02
  of The West Wing. Oh was it more Tianney. She's got a very
• 40:06
  unique voice like the entire main cast. But or Roland Atkinson exactly, Ronandkinson.
• 40:10
  I was going to get too. That's a boy, ra Kelly.
• 40:14
  My apology Kelly to Nathan Lyon. Nathan Lyon was to moan Nathan Lane.
• 40:17
  Yeah, Nathan Lanes, Nathan Lane. Yeah, Well for coming to America
• 40:21
  fans. Yes, it was James el Jones, a mathas and Med Sinclair
• 40:24
  as Sarabi who was also his wife and coming to American and the voice of
• 40:30
  Pumba was the fat Nacker guy in the Seine Fowl Subway episode. Yes,
• 40:35
  exactly, so you know he said, it's got a couple of names the
• 40:38
  entire cast. Fine, fine, hey Dandy, you know we're not talking
• 40:43
  about too much. The Simpsons. Kiskis bang and Bengal. We rejourn to
• 40:50
  Kiss Bean Bangalore already in progress. Yes, basically, this whole thing here
• 40:53
  is about the fact that Birds is going to be outsourcing the work to India,
• 41:00
  and I've got here. This feels like it could have been a really
• 41:04
  solid story for potentially the Simpsons movie. I don't think there was enough focus
• 41:08
  on the impact that all these jobs being outsourced was having on Springfield as a
• 41:13
  whole, because so many people are employed in Springfield and the power plant.
• 41:15
  We're gonna get that one scene in most which I really enjoyed the fact that's
• 41:20
  sort of taking the piss out of their own TV Japanese American that's the American
• 41:25
  doesn't work. It doesn't work. Yeah, But I just think and I
• 41:29
  like that, But I don't think they cut back to Springfield enough showing the
• 41:31
  effect it was having on Springfield. You're right, I mean, like I
• 41:36
  said, this episode felt very fifty fifty in a lot of ways in terms
• 41:39
  of like how much time was delegated to each storyline. I don't know,
• 41:44
  maybe a storyline We've got no jobs could be a little depressing, I believe.
• 41:49
  I think if you did more of an episode about it than you could,
• 41:52
  you'd have to put a bit more work in or like, well,
• 41:54
  what are we going to do now that the plant's closed? And take out
• 41:59
  the Richard deane An some plot and put that in a different episode, because
• 42:00
  they didn't intertwine them at all. That was literally just an eight plot that
• 42:05
  did not connect in any way. So take out that b plot and put
• 42:08
  it in more focus on the impact that out Because outsourcing jobs is a huge
• 42:13
  and very important story, right like that, that's a topic that is very
• 42:16
  very controversial. You need to show the pros and cons of it, you
• 42:21
  know what I mean. So now I like the way they wrapped it up
• 42:22
  with Homer sort of telling all the people over there that you know that you
• 42:27
  know that Smoco breaks and things like that. The thoughts a very funny spin,
• 42:30
  you know, bringing bringing that great sense of American entire the rest of
• 42:34
  the world now that's exporting it was very, very good. Um, But
• 42:37
  I just think the whole outsourcing taking away their jobs needed to have more focus
• 42:42
  on the impact that was having locally. You're right, yeah, I mean,
• 42:45
  yeah, there's a lot, there's a lot of fruit that you could
• 42:50
  pick from this particular storyline, because what would be call would be This is
• 42:53
  what I'm saying is someone from experience that whilst it was terrible that we all
• 42:58
  lost our jobs, what it did was light the fire under all these people,
• 43:01
  all these men right who were in their forties fifties, who all assumed
• 43:06
  this is what they're going to be doing for the rest of their lives.
• 43:07
  It put them in a situation where they had no control of it, where
• 43:10
  they had to go out and do something about it. They had to go
• 43:14
  back to school, that their own businesses, that they had to find a
• 43:17
  new way to make a living. Had they not outsourced our jobs, that'd
• 43:22
  still be sitting at the end of that conveyor belt in a factory, miserable
• 43:25
  of their lives, unhappy, right, complaining about their jobs, and just
• 43:30
  just living on repeat, rinse and repeat day in day out right, a
• 43:34
  lot of them went out and I can't remember. I can't don't think I've
• 43:37
  ever actually spoken to someone since Ford's closed that is less happy than what they
• 43:40
  were than when they were at Fort. At the time, they were all
• 43:43
  scared. I think the world was scared. Everyone wasn't like angry. They
• 43:45
  were just scared of what was to come. But they all were put in
• 43:49
  a situation to force themselves to be better people, and they all did it.
• 43:52
  So I think that would have been cool to see in Springfield, Lenny
• 43:57
  Carl all these people that work at the power plant had to go out and
• 44:00
  make new jobs and make a new living, and that would have been a
• 44:02
  cool concept. Actually, yeah, it could have been a fun episode with
• 44:06
  everyone sort of yeah, trying some projects with different with varying levels of success
• 44:10
  and putting varying levels of effort as well. And then and then you could
• 44:14
  end it with, for example, you know, the jobs come back.
• 44:17
  I'm bringing the plant back. Initially they go, no, I don't want
• 44:21
  that, and all of a sudden it was like, oh, but I
• 44:22
  did like getting paid to do nothing. And then the Americans throw in all
• 44:29
  these good work they've done because I just want to sit around getting paid to
• 44:30
  hea donuts all day. That's how you end of the episode. Well played
• 44:34
  down a very good, very good alternate episode that you've created there and should
• 44:37
  have just wing that on the spot. But anyway, that's not what we
• 44:42
  got. What we did get was Homer catching the bouquet. So he's the
• 44:45
  one American who gets sent to run the plant apparently because it's always Homer.
• 44:51
  And Homer's telling the family at dinner and they've painted on the phone and the
• 44:53
  thumb stat on the wall and whatever and random acted night gag. Basically,
• 44:58
  he's going to be moving to India, packing up shop and going over there.
• 45:00
  You think the family would be going with him. But anyway you think,
• 45:04
  but they do do a bit of ask covering with him thinking, oh,
• 45:08
  I'm not going to Indiana. Yeah, he can think that, Oh,
• 45:12
  okay, I go work for the work and I come home for the
• 45:14
  weekend. But the family would still know, right, the family are well
• 45:15
  aware for India is the family will be going a week going with your dad
• 45:17
  or you're just gone forever. Anyway, don't don't think, don't ask questions.
• 45:23
  Richard Dean Anderson arrives at the convention, but it's only because he's looking
• 45:27
  for a way to get out of there to the Stargate SG one con which
• 45:30
  is across the road at the coliseum or whatever. And SG one that would
• 45:34
  have been going for what seven nine years was still won't have been a TV
• 45:38
  in two thousand and six. Let's have a look. That's a good question,
• 45:42
  I mean, because the movie was nineteen ninety four. Yea started at
• 45:45
  ninety seven. When did it go to ninety seven through to two thousand and
• 45:51
  two thousand and seven? So yeah, so it was on a sort of
• 45:52
  last last season or two. How many TV shows were there? How many
• 45:55
  were there? Let's go to the Stargate franchise. Shall we start franchise?
• 46:00
  So we've got SG one in Atlantis in two thousand and four, then Universe
• 46:02
  in two thousand and nine, and then a prequel web series called Origins in
• 46:07
  twenty eighteen. There's Infinity as well. It's an animated one, is there
• 46:12
  really I don't know, two thousand and two animated series Stargate Infinity. Okay,
• 46:15
  there you go. Yeah, So there's I mean, and a couple
• 46:19
  of and a couple of movies as well, a couple of director video movies.
• 46:22
  If you want to make money in the sci fi world, start your
• 46:24
  franchise with the word star and you'll be fine. Dot dot dot prophets that
• 46:32
  two year two question. We get this straighted by South like a game.
• 46:45
  Damn it, tray and amuse. Oh, Richard Dan Anderson, you finally
• 46:52
  came to our convention. No, I'm looking for the convention for my new
• 46:58
  show, Stargate SG. You won that it's over there. Say you're into
• 47:07
  mcgiver. That show was so stupid. Oh, I'm a diver. I
• 47:13
  can make a bomb out of a banana peal and a toaster. That show
• 47:17
  was just a paycheck to me and nothing more. No, how could he
• 47:25
  say that mcgiver is my world? Richard Dean Anderson just pissed off the wrong
• 47:32
  Richard Dean Anderson fans. It is guaranteed to have been in moments like this
• 47:37
  where an obsessed fans come up to somebody and they're like, I don't give
• 47:39
  a fuck about that video game I was in, and I reckon Jim Company's
• 47:42
  probably done that from time to time. Here's the voice of the character from
• 47:45
  that video game from nineteen ninety six, and he's like, it was just
• 47:47
  a paycheck and nothing more. I a family, mean, no, but
• 47:52
  this is the thing for some people, that's what it would be like something
• 47:57
  they shows themselves have an impact on the eyes. But to the actors,
• 48:00
  not every role is going to be as important to them as what the role
• 48:05
  is to us. You know, acting as of course, you know,
• 48:07
  a wonderful expression of creativity and art and all that, but it's Yeah,
• 48:10
  for people who do it professionally, it's a job. It's just a job.
• 48:14
  Yeah, it's like a pause that doesn't fall in love with every person
• 48:16
  they sleep with. Do they wait? Wait what man? No one,
• 48:22
  if she's getting back to my messages, get back to me, Tory Black.
• 48:27
  I love that you just know a name straight away. I don't think
• 48:30
  I know any Jenna Jameson. That's I don't know what he wants that name,
• 48:37
  but anyway, so yeah, so he's just a paycheck, nothing more,
• 48:38
  and he's broken their hearts. But anyway, it's a Q and A
• 48:40
  now at the SG one con and I just loved this. This is every
• 48:45
  Q and A at every convention. Chard Dean Andrew Chin. The four Star
• 48:51
  franchises Wars, Trek Geek and Search Geek is easily my third favorite. I
• 48:58
  get that a lot. Question SG one, how would your character Major General
• 49:02
  Jonathan Jack O'Neill react to appearing at the Springfield started it fan first? I
• 49:07
  feel like I've just gone through the Starrogate to one heck of a convention.
• 49:15
  He's a world of us and another thing. When you're at those things,
• 49:21
  even it's like a sporting event or whatever, they do it at the wrestling
• 49:22
  caught Off and they make a local reference and you know they're pandering. It's
• 49:25
  got concerts do it as well, but you just buy into it because it's
• 49:29
  part of the experience, isn't it. Of Course you know they say the
• 49:31
  same thing at every city, but doesn't matter. Just hearing your favorite band
• 49:36
  say, you know Melbourne or Geelong is like, whoo, why are we
• 49:40
  suckers for? Why do we as humans just for some reason just love the
• 49:45
  fact that they are saying where we're from and because we're we're tribal animals and
• 49:50
  we love recognition. It's that That's pretty much it. I mean, particularly
• 49:53
  come from a relatively yeah I was about to say a small town, but
• 49:58
  we're a regional city talking about Geelong. It can very be very easy for
• 50:02
  a place like us to feel sort of overlooked in the grand scheme of things,
• 50:05
  you know what. I'm like, everybody knows Melbourne, but if you've
• 50:07
  heard of Geelong, so yeah, so if you know a rock star comes
• 50:13
  to town or whatever, it's like, hey, you know, I played
• 50:15
  in towns all over the world, but well there's nothing quite like Geelong.
• 50:20
  Yeah. Nicol Lake actually got me the other day because we're watching some Simpsons
• 50:24
  on the weekend and I was like, I don't think I've loved her anymore.
• 50:28
  We're driving through town. I was like, Oh, these guys skyscrapers,
• 50:30
  like big building because compared to what Jelong used to be, all these
• 50:32
  big hotels a holiday and they all getting built and I'm like, fuck,
• 50:36
  there's so much happening in Gelong right now. Nikola goes, would you say
• 50:38
  it's a city on the Grove? I was like, Nicola, I've never
• 50:40
  loved you more. I love city on the Grove. It's one of the
• 50:45
  most city on the grow grow that is that is pretty cool for that's good
• 50:54
  stuff, which she very pleased with us all. She was pretty proud.
• 51:01
  I would hope. So they kidnap him though, don't they Patty and someone
• 51:07
  they shut the lights off and he's gone missing. The nerds think there must
• 51:09
  be a starget in this stadium, and then there's a girl in the audience,
• 51:14
  let's look for her instead, And then they think Willie is the girl
• 51:16
  who's wearing a cult And it's the closest I'll ever get two thousand and six.
• 51:21
  But are still Wickavenger still perceived this way in two thousand and six sweaty
• 51:25
  virgins who think because I feel like Iron Man changed everything, didn't it?
• 51:31
  I think so. Yeah. I really think it was post iron Man,
• 51:35
  the start of the MCU. That because I mean even though there were big
• 51:38
  comic book movies prior to them, I mean, you know, there was
• 51:42
  the Toby Maguire Spider Man, there were the X Men movies, there was
• 51:45
  Batman begins. Yeah, I don't think it was really till MCU sort of
• 51:51
  really started to put its foot on the gas that was like, yeah,
• 51:54
  that's good a camic can They're gonna be shore new trailer, isn't Oh they're
• 51:57
  going to reveal who's going to be playing Captain America or thought or something like
• 52:00
  that. It's like, yeah, it started to become news. Yeah,
• 52:05
  so before this is very much kind of like, what's that smell in here?
• 52:09
  It's the odor of Dork. But then RDA, he wakes up at
• 52:14
  patty Is Someone's house and they say it's gonna be a two on one mcgiver
• 52:16
  con that will never ever end, and start off by signing these autographs,
• 52:21
  and I was like, damn, you can write help me all you want.
• 52:25
  That's very funny. We're now at the airport. Homer is called to
• 52:31
  his chair to get his call for boarding. March gives him a book about
• 52:35
  management. Yeah, the cereal was what it? Damn it. I didn't
• 52:40
  write down the name of the book, but I've seen so many ere you
• 52:45
  go to an airport, the self help and business self help section is always
• 52:50
  there's so many of them. They've always got times like this. It is
• 52:54
  the cereal is the prize, which is actually not a bad title. No,
• 53:00
  it's like it makes sense. But as I haven't said, it's just
• 53:01
  like except it doesn't make sense. When it's it's enough to get you to
• 53:07
  pick the book up. It's like, oh wait a minute, I've been
• 53:10
  I've been, you know, searching for the wrong prize all this time.
• 53:15
  You've been putting in your mouth the entire time you can taste the success.
• 53:22
  I feel like you'd be a sucker. I feel like you'd be a sucker.
• 53:24
  For a self help book, I feel like you've inflation. I really.
• 53:29
  Yeah. My sister bought me Tony Robbins one a few years ago and
• 53:31
  I still haven't read it. But I'm like, I reckon, if I've
• 53:35
  read that, I'd probably be inspired to do something. I think the biggest
• 53:37
  ones it can't be a fluke or it can't be that much of a con.
• 53:40
  Now, you must be helping some people, like people must be benefiting
• 53:45
  from your from your talks, because how are you how are you selling out
• 53:47
  stadiums? You know what I mean? Correct? Yeah, I mean,
• 53:51
  look the great Pta. There's a sucker born every minute, and you know
• 53:54
  he was probably right. But at the same time, that hasn't stopped me
• 53:58
  from you know, I've got a copy Tools of Titans here that remains uncracked,
• 54:02
  and a few others. But Nichol and I have been start started.
• 54:07
  We've recently started the Barefoot Investor and that's going well for us. Oh yeah,
• 54:09
  Barefoot Investor is great finances. I've certainly done that. Yeah, I'm
• 54:14
  just like, actually, we're saving money. I don't feel like I'm doing
• 54:17
  anything different. I'm just not spending on useless shit like I used to,
• 54:22
  which I guess is different, but like, I just I don't feel like
• 54:23
  I'm missing out, you know, I don't feel like going out. I'm
• 54:25
  just being better with my money. And when you feel like you're bettering yourself
• 54:30
  and you're achieving something, it's just like, oh wow, this ship's working
• 54:34
  and it feels like it's so easy. But you needed someone to tell you
• 54:37
  to read if you really do. Yeah, no, I mean I was.
• 54:40
  I had a copy of The Barefoot Investor forever and then just like,
• 54:44
  well, I've bought it, I certainly don't need to read it now.
• 54:45
  Everything just gonna go my way. I'm like, I don't I don't even
• 54:49
  anything from some damn book. If this guy has sold ten million copies,
• 54:53
  is going to be able to teach me anything. So I'm fucking hippie without
• 54:57
  shoes, forget about it. I remember it. At some stay, I
• 55:00
  was like, I've got funck all money in the bank and I got bills,
• 55:05
  I'd better sort my shit out. And at my lowest point, and
• 55:09
  that was the bad investors. Like that makes sense. The lowest point.
• 55:15
  I started a podcast with Dander. It's like I said it before and that
• 55:19
  was yesterday, but radio going, actually this makes sense and yeah I could
• 55:25
  probably do that. So you started opening a few extra bank accounts and like,
• 55:29
  okay, now you got to open this and one in this one and
• 55:31
  yeah it works. Well. Still broke, but not as much as I
• 55:35
  want be. Going on holidays is loved as Luise now, so that's all
• 55:37
  that matters, right, That's why I'm broke. Before you read the book
• 55:43
  at any met Luise, absolutely not the game. I think the last time
• 55:50
  we went on holiday was the Barley where you know, everything is cheap,
• 55:52
  including life, and now we're going to the States where everything costs triple Yes
• 55:57
  it does indeed, yeah, it's um it depends where you go. Being
• 56:00
  in American I'm like, you guys sold me on the fact that your food
• 56:04
  was cheap. This shit ain't cheap, and I gotta tip you. I'm
• 56:07
  gonna pay this guy. What money do you mean the business isn't paying you.
• 56:15
  I have to pay for the food and your employees. What does that
• 56:20
  make here? This is a crazy country. You're going here? Good coof
• 56:23
  you, no one of your own source into India. Homer has never been
• 56:28
  less angry to receive a book than sixty five hours later, he arrives in
• 56:31
  India, which he thought he could confused for Indiana. So he thought India
• 56:36
  was Indiana, which he confused for Illinois, which can then confuse the Cubs
• 56:38
  for the Dodgers. By the way, I did like the Leo Coca founder,
• 56:43
  the serial is the prize definitely dot dot dot useful. If you've worked
• 56:46
  as a reviewer or a critic or anything like that, you'll see that.
• 56:49
  It's like, definitely not useful, but it will take out the knot and
• 56:53
  like that's your bull quote. There was a point where I felt like self
• 56:58
  help books it was almost like embarrassing to reading them. It's like, oh,
• 57:00
  you need self help book, but now it's just a complete opposite is
• 57:02
  and it's like, no, you want to help check out this book.
• 57:05
  Well I did the same thing and it worked for me. It is a
• 57:07
  massive industry. Yeah, yeah, which is good, go ahead and help
• 57:13
  themselves. It's you know, you don't have to take every speck of advice
• 57:17
  they give you, and no, you gotta throw them and you find some
• 57:21
  that resonates with you, and that's you know, that's probably enough for motivation
• 57:23
  to turn things around. Hello, it's me. I'm in trouble. Come
• 57:30
  down, dad. What happened? The CoA took my iPod and I punched
• 57:35
  it? Do I have to? Okay, okay, I'll show the cow.
• 57:44
  I adore it. M Oh baby, who did you lose weight?
• 57:51
  Oh? Come on, baby, don't please hurt your milk. He's looking
• 57:58
  for a poo's cousin. Carvey finds him straight away. Finally, then the
• 58:04
  Richard and Anerson. He escapes or he has escaped, and Patty's padding's I
• 58:07
  can't face jail and sorry. Salmon says that because she's got the baby.
• 58:10
  But then Patty She's like, I can wow. Then he explains that he
• 58:19
  escaped because he used his Blue contacts to hide his Latino heritage? Is he
• 58:22
  actually Latine though, let's let's find that out. Is that is happened to
• 58:25
  be a joke or is that like a little tidbit of information about the man
• 58:29
  that may may I'm out may well be the case. I mean, I
• 58:31
  don't think it's something they would make fun of him than they do sort of
• 58:35
  notoriously racially insensitive on Richard Dean Anderson. American actor Ricardo descended, No,
• 58:43
  no, no, no, um, you're happy for was like, wow,
• 58:46
  Ricardo, No, he's definitely taking the piss because he is not according
• 58:52
  to Wikipedia, which would not lie to us it um, he is of
• 58:57
  Norwegian, Scottish, Finnish, Swedish in its German Swedish and possibly mohawk descent.
• 59:02
  Wow. Oh yeah, so everything, he's got everything but understanding.
• 59:07
  Yeah yeah, or Latino. I'm always curious about that. I mean,
• 59:10
  whether listeners who are either up on this or of this particular nationality or creed
• 59:21
  or whatever Hispanic Latino tell us what's what. I don't want to insult or
• 59:25
  appear insensitive. We're now in. He wants to be tied up again so
• 59:30
  we can trying to scap again because he's never going to love the passion for
• 59:31
  it. My guy ever lives and not just on the two Am, not
• 59:36
  just two am on the US. I love how when they do Patty and
• 59:40
  Selma Julie because it's Julie Kavner. Yah, how she's basically doing Harvey Firesteam
• 59:47
  from Independent. Oh I gonna tell my mother. Oh finally I need you
• 59:57
  to make me a woman finally. Oh my god, he's awesome. He's
• 1:00:04
  awesome, missus day. He is fucking fantastic. I love. We need
• 1:00:10
  to do we need for Patreon. We need to go back and revisit um.
• 1:00:15
  When Homer gets his hair and he plays Carl Harvey Firestein. Oh yeah,
• 1:00:19
  because he is so awesome as Carl. That's one of my It's one
• 1:00:22
  of my favorite bits in all where he goes to the tailor and you know
• 1:00:31
  you disguise it. Oh if you had a tailor. That so brilliant.
• 1:00:43
  Let's go shopping up in That's a great episode. Yeah, I think we
• 1:00:49
  should, Yeah, find someone who wants to talk about that other than us.
• 1:00:52
  Yeah, yeah, get him on board. Let's do it is so
• 1:00:54
  good. But now back in India and Burns randomly comes out of the um
• 1:01:00
  the basket like a snake, just because he wanted it, because he's a
• 1:01:02
  showman. I was like, what is this Burns character? Now? Like?
• 1:01:07
  What is he? Yeah? There's no really, I mean I know
• 1:01:08
  we're sort of say continue, but I don't think they even know who he
• 1:01:14
  is anymore. One episode he's a cruel guy. One episode he's like helping
• 1:01:15
  Lisa. Next episode, he's a showman. I'm like, I didn't you
• 1:01:19
  even know who he is anymore? He's just lost all sense of who the
• 1:01:22
  Bird's character is. And we yes, human beings are you know, large,
• 1:01:25
  they contain multitudes, all that kind of stuff, and he's probably got
• 1:01:29
  many fasts to his character. But I think for the sake of I don't
• 1:01:32
  know, good storytelling, certain characters should stay in certain lanes. Yeah,
• 1:01:37
  it's just like the the way they handled the Burns selling the plant in Burns
• 1:01:42
  the cuff and the craft work where he sells it to the Germans, and
• 1:01:45
  you know, at first, it's like, you never take my plan away
• 1:01:47
  from me. It's been in my family and I've built this up. And
• 1:01:50
  they show him like a hundred million dollars on a little piece of card.
• 1:01:52
  He's like, who, Like he sells it? Like like, I just
• 1:01:54
  feel like the Burns in that episode. It's so much different to the Burns.
• 1:01:59
  Obviously that was three, but Burns here just feels like a blithering old
• 1:02:01
  man who's in charge of a power player actually has no idea what he's doing.
• 1:02:05
  As Smith is the entire time is like he's sure it's a good idea,
• 1:02:07
  sir, Are's sure, it's a good idea. Show shut up Smiths.
• 1:02:09
  And I'm like, I don't know, just it's kind of sad seeing
• 1:02:14
  where Burns has ended up now this snake bit coming out of the bus and
• 1:02:16
  I was like, not even was that went forever? Okay? I like
• 1:02:22
  the look of it, and there was ever and like I'm a showman,
• 1:02:23
  I'm like, that's the punchline for that. I don't know, it was
• 1:02:28
  weird. Yeah, I don't think there was even that. Yeah, I
• 1:02:30
  like the idea of him coming out like a snake. I think that's kind
• 1:02:32
  of funny. Yeah, but there was, but it didn't pay off at
• 1:02:35
  all. It doesn't pay off at all. But I just think it's a
• 1:02:37
  nice visual gag because I mean, he is sort of evil and snakes are
• 1:02:42
  representative of evil and all that kind of stuff. But yeah, for Smith's
• 1:02:45
  to say, what was that planning of that, It's like, yeah,
• 1:02:49
  I don't know. You meant to be echoing in the audience here, because
• 1:02:51
  you know, Dando's clearly asking that we're out in mos and we get them
• 1:02:57
  pointing out all the different things that aren't American, TV, Japanese whatever,
• 1:03:00
  and the gun misfires and mow and I like that. I thought it was
• 1:03:02
  very funny. I needed more of this, you know, back in the
• 1:03:06
  Springfield. It's like there's a reason that people around source. Yes, that's
• 1:03:10
  the thing. Yeah, And that's what the Simpsons used to be so good
• 1:03:13
  at. Was and Southpike do a good I'm not gonna get in the South
• 1:03:15
  Pub. But they get a really controversial topic and they show the pros and
• 1:03:17
  cons of both of both arguments and then you can decide for yourself. They
• 1:03:22
  never usually sort of sland on one side or the other. Where now just
• 1:03:25
  feels like Simpsons aren't very good at showing both sides. It's just like that.
• 1:03:30
  I don't know this episode. It was a weird, like I enjoyed
• 1:03:32
  it, but it was just there was certainly much room for improvement. But
• 1:03:36
  we get Burns here introducing Homer as the new manager of the plant over in
• 1:03:40
  India. He talks about he was playing Karnac with the bodyguard and I'd want
• 1:03:45
  the moisture on him. And then Homer has no idea what to say,
• 1:03:49
  so he gets Marge's book out of the bin. Because you know, he's
• 1:03:52
  not a very nice person. He threw her book in the bin and he
• 1:03:53
  beats off something and this was a good gag. Maybe if we cheer,
• 1:03:57
  we can get back to work. The old yea and burns his soul.
• 1:04:01
  What he thinks that he's went over the people and smithers s talk about an
• 1:04:05
  arranged marriage. Marriage again. He's never mentioned again. It's just weird.
• 1:04:09
  I mean, that's another box arranged marriages. They do arrange marriages in the
• 1:04:13
  let's let's do that. Who would be awkward to have an arrange marriage?
• 1:04:15
  The gay guy? The gay guy. But then calls Homer and this was
• 1:04:20
  also I didn't get this. You know, He's like, yeah, yeah,
• 1:04:25
  he just went Homer to say, just outsource our source. That's the
• 1:04:28
  gay Homer is saying to outsource everything. But it's like there's a new bullet
• 1:04:30
  and he's in the house and he's like, just the outsource. It hangs
• 1:04:31
  up, and I'm like he comes across like a real shit dad does stuff
• 1:04:39
  like that, Like I get that. I don't know, Like, yeah,
• 1:04:42
  he's he's essentially lazy, yes, and he's fallen out of the spell
• 1:04:45
  of adsourcing thing. Well, you know, it's an answer to all that
• 1:04:47
  all my problems at least, Yeah, including the ones that don't really aren't
• 1:04:51
  really sold by adsourcing. But you're right, it's it happened too quickly.
• 1:04:58
  Yeah. Yeah, between the whole reading our bits from you know, the
• 1:05:01
  serials a prize and they're like, oh, oh, so outsourcing is the
• 1:05:03
  thing. I mean, you needed a scene in between where he realizes,
• 1:05:06
  oh, if I delegate worked with everybody else, I don't have to work,
• 1:05:11
  but I'll get all the credit. Yeah, you need that, yes,
• 1:05:14
  but you know we didn't get that in here, and we're supposed to
• 1:05:16
  sort of accept this scene where yeah, Barts on the phone saying this has
• 1:05:21
  happened. Well't outsource that? Yeah, I don't. By the way,
• 1:05:25
  who's that bully? Meant to be? Looked like Slugo from the Nancy cartoons,
• 1:05:28
  and it looked like an old man, look like it looked like the
• 1:05:34
  guy that played the Hamburgler that haven't beats up from behind. I just one
• 1:05:42
  of my favorite things bits of animation in the history of the Simpson is the
• 1:05:45
  Hamburgers Little little Finger. We that's the Hamburgler. Come. I just think
• 1:05:50
  it's so good. But for carved dows on various phones but using his different
• 1:05:55
  accents and Kazari, they're just showing off his now of the basis gags is
• 1:06:02
  early racist because yeah, Brian from IBM and the concierge at the Dallas Fault
• 1:06:08
  with Marriott and Queen Mambo Jumbo, Oh boy, but I am. But
• 1:06:12
  I enjoyed it because yeah, you just know when when you're talking to an
• 1:06:15
  American, there's never an American talent market to calling the shy. It's and
• 1:06:19
  that's the thing. It's like, why you pretend to be an American?
• 1:06:23
  Like, just pretend just talking your voice. I don't care. I'd rather
• 1:06:26
  just be you tell them tell me about you. I just imagine you getting
• 1:06:31
  your call. It's like, it's just the real you. Come on on,
• 1:06:35
  Steve next. Okay, here's the plan. You lock me in the
• 1:06:44
  trunk of a car and park it under the pier at low tide. All
• 1:06:47
  I need are these everyday objects, a nail file, a farmer's almanac,
• 1:06:51
  a gun with no bullets, some bullets, and three of my mcgib riders.
• 1:06:56
  Sounds great. Can we do it during lunch? No? The last
• 1:07:02
  thing was my favorite. Three mcgiver riders. I like that's awesome. I'll
• 1:07:06
  just love that he's give me a now file a farmer's almanac and go without
• 1:07:10
  bullets, some bullets and three er. I didn't get that bit cover without
• 1:07:16
  bullets and bullets. That's that's funny stuff like this. This whole B plot
• 1:07:20
  was awesome, It really I could. I don't think it's worth of an
• 1:07:24
  entire episode, but it didn't need to be in this one, you know
• 1:07:29
  what I mean? They could have, yeah, more comic con related A
• 1:07:32
  plot and then have this one as I have, like him coming to the
• 1:07:34
  comic con for whatever the A plot is, and then that branches off into
• 1:07:39
  this B plot where they get him from that con. I think that would
• 1:07:42
  have been funnier. Yeah. I mean, we've talked in the past about
• 1:07:45
  oh God, you've taken two undeveloped ideas and smushed them together because you know
• 1:07:48
  neither would fill a full episode, and that feels definitely the case here because
• 1:07:51
  as you said, these two aren't related in any way, they don't intertwine
• 1:07:57
  with one another, but the ap more, I think the A plot could
• 1:08:00
  have been a full twenty two minutes for sure. Of the whole hoursource ye
• 1:08:03
  didn't shot. You think it could have been a movie, And I don't
• 1:08:06
  think you're incorrect, but um, but yeah, the b plot is one
• 1:08:10
  of the better handled celebrity cameos. Always subtly guest in a while, I
• 1:08:14
  reckon, I think so. I think so. Going back to what you
• 1:08:16
  were saying, man, I mean, well what I was saying, what
• 1:08:18
  you originally said about this being a movie, I think that'd be fantastic about
• 1:08:21
  how if you have like a full length feature film episode of The Simpsons.
• 1:08:29
  Yeah, Burns is outsourcing his stuff all over the world. He's like,
• 1:08:33
  yeah, yeah, First he sends it to Mexico, is like, I
• 1:08:35
  can you know, get things done for you know, twenty cents on the
• 1:08:40
  dollar. And it's like, wait a minute, I just found I can
• 1:08:42
  get it for fifteen cents on the dollar in this place. Yes, over
• 1:08:45
  the some one side, Like, I can get it even gem if I
• 1:08:47
  do it, you know, in the worst place on Earth. I was
• 1:08:50
  like, if I relocate to Antarctica, not the worst place on Earth,
• 1:08:54
  but you know, I can do it for minus ten cents. And you
• 1:08:57
  know, so they end up in but they go all over the place,
• 1:09:00
  and that's what you want from a movie, yes, yeah, and then
• 1:09:01
  somehow they all they all find out about the benefits, the American benefits like
• 1:09:05
  Smoco breaks and you know, over time and things like that, to the
• 1:09:09
  point where it's just like it's cheaper to just do it in America. I'm
• 1:09:12
  going back on America. Yeah, I think that write the second since the
• 1:09:17
  movie Let's do it, Let's do it, take this episode never existed and
• 1:09:23
  just you know, and just go over this story. It definitely is there
• 1:09:27
  is something there for sure. Yeah, Bill, Matt, I'm sure you're
• 1:09:30
  listening. You know, we're buds now after you did, you have done
• 1:09:32
  an episode, um down and I will write this for a reasonable amount of
• 1:09:38
  money and of course a fair chunk of the back end. Speaking of lunch
• 1:09:41
  breaks though, pattyon someone suggests can we do this on that lunch break?
• 1:09:44
  And he's like, no, now, star entitlmed Homer is now output in
• 1:09:48
  ten times the power that the plant was back in back in Springfield. Um.
• 1:09:54
  He quotes the book and Burns misinterprets it to think that, you know,
• 1:09:56
  he doesn't need us here at all. It isn't it us here at
• 1:09:58
  all. We're just leaving with ultimate power, absolute power. So it doesn't
• 1:10:01
  that corrupt? Yes, And he says, I have to leave a dinner
• 1:10:05
  enjoy my scooped out monkey head before it gets cold. And I was like,
• 1:10:09
  is that a Temple of Doom reference? That's a Temple of Doom reference.
• 1:10:12
  I'm pretty sure the Temple of Doom reference. And that was the scene
• 1:10:14
  that used to scare me a lot when I was a kid a lot.
• 1:10:17
  The worker then shows the various gods of India and homes, and the whole
• 1:10:25
  transition to him thinking he's a guy just felt very rushed as well, didn't
• 1:10:28
  it, Because they didn't they didn't allow enough time for all all these little
• 1:10:31
  things to sort of bridge the gap to these moments. You're right, I
• 1:10:33
  mean, we love the b plot in this, we love the Richard Dona
• 1:10:38
  dance and stuff. But yeah, either cut it out completely and just make
• 1:10:41
  this all a plot, yeah, and stretch it out a little bit.
• 1:10:45
  So yeah, because I mean, Smithers a los to it with that Line's
• 1:10:48
  like, sir, it doesn't absolute power corupt absolutely? Yeah. It's like,
• 1:10:53
  yes it does, and but you give us a moment. Yeah,
• 1:10:55
  it's missing bridging scenes. Yeah, I realized, oh wait a minute,
• 1:10:59
  I've got absolute pour and give us a second to show him being corrupted before,
• 1:11:02
  don't just skip to the end immediately. It's a weird thing because usually
• 1:11:08
  I don't think we've ever had a Simpsons go to episode where they have a
• 1:11:11
  second plot. It's always just the family go to a country and that's the
• 1:11:15
  story and things happen, Buch, just stuff happens and they go home again.
• 1:11:19
  Is this the first Simpsons go to episode where they've had a b plot
• 1:11:23
  that's been completely unrelated to going to the said country. I think it might
• 1:11:28
  be. And it's weird because it's almost like they went, well, we
• 1:11:30
  need to have celebrity cameos. Oh wait, we can't find any celebrities to
• 1:11:35
  having a show. All right, well we've got a cameo Richard Dan Anderson.
• 1:11:39
  Let let's just work that into this story. But I just don't I
• 1:11:41
  don't think this episode needed any celebrity cameos. I think it like the whole
• 1:11:45
  transition here where's coming up with Homer is just um, you know, he's
• 1:11:48
  now a guide and they're like worshiping him, and he's like they've painted a
• 1:11:51
  planned and he's cut himself off from the free world. We didn't see any
• 1:11:55
  of that. It was just explained with one line with Smith saying or burn
• 1:11:58
  saying he's cut himself off from the the from the world, and I'm like,
• 1:12:00
  when did that happen? We didn't see it happen, Like it's just
• 1:12:03
  sort of it was really the last sort of like act was very rushed.
• 1:12:08
  I enjoyed it, but just felt very rushed. There's a lot of you
• 1:12:11
  having to fill the gaps yourself as a viewer. Yeah. But yeah,
• 1:12:14
  but so Homer wins the free soda and that's why he thinks he's a god.
• 1:12:16
  Then burns his floating down the Ganges and Smith says it's not a good
• 1:12:19
  idea, and then he's surrounded by corpses. But then we come back for
• 1:12:23
  some reason, Hommer has brought Linnean Karl to India. Yeah, and it's
• 1:12:28
  a whole apocalypse now kind of shout out as well with the end with the
• 1:12:31
  doors and you know, going down the river like that. I mean,
• 1:12:33
  that's very that's yeah, straight up apocalypse now rip off, which is came
• 1:12:38
  by me. That's yeah, fine movie to deliver from. So why did
• 1:12:41
  why did he send for Linny and Carl? He said, they go,
• 1:12:44
  Homer brought us over the India. It's like why Yeah, And I don't
• 1:12:48
  know. It's weird these disciples, you know that the whole multi arms a
• 1:12:55
  visionary who's got the multiple arms. I'm not big on my Indian gods because
• 1:13:00
  because a Pooh says in the song we put the spring in Springfield, he
• 1:13:03
  says the extra arms on Vishnu. Yes, he had fun. You learned
• 1:13:08
  a little something to m Yeah, the Vishnu gag doesn't work without you know,
• 1:13:11
  Lenny and Carl or without having some friends there or what of them.
• 1:13:13
  But before we get to all that moment, though, we have Richard dan
• 1:13:15
  Anderson now or dressed up. He's gone former guy. He's now pretending to
• 1:13:17
  be mcguy. W's with the wig on and everything and wig He's met guiver
• 1:13:20
  burgers which were made from slim gyms and cheese grater and some rubber bands to
• 1:13:24
  hold it all together. And then then they get a great idea to get
• 1:13:27
  him to leave as they start showing their own slides, and they bore him
• 1:13:30
  to death and he jumps out the window and I'm assuming dies because you just
• 1:13:34
  see it whack. I think Julie just did a great job with that narration.
• 1:13:42
  The slide shows the various carriages. That's a landout. Sorry sorry,
• 1:13:47
  sorry, sorry, very good. Then there's a he lets a note on
• 1:13:57
  the window sill in grape juice and tears, saying that I think kidnaped,
• 1:14:00
  which is or whatever? And that's it for Richard dan Anderson. But now
• 1:14:01
  the Simpsons that ran me on the boat with Burns and smithers that the pockets
• 1:14:05
  now like floating down the river. And he says home, he's gone mad.
• 1:14:09
  He's cut himself off from the outside world. And then they arrive and
• 1:14:12
  I'm just like, what's happening? When did this happen? This is this
• 1:14:15
  is escalated in the space of a minute. If you boil it right down,
• 1:14:23
  there's some if you gave it like an elevator pitch, it's like the
• 1:14:26
  plant outsources to India. Homer goes to run it by accident. He becomes
• 1:14:30
  really good at his job, and you know it, gets a high opinion
• 1:14:33
  of himself. And because he's an India, he starts thinking he's a god,
• 1:14:38
  because you know there's more than one god. He's like, oh,
• 1:14:40
  well, if there's more than one god, then you know there's room for
• 1:14:42
  one more. We need to see more of the workers appreciating him before they
• 1:14:45
  we saw them worshiping him, you know, that's it. Yeah, so
• 1:14:49
  I don't know, when you're boiling right down, it's like, Okay,
• 1:14:53
  you've got an idea, you've got a good idea here, but you just
• 1:14:55
  don't expand on all that. Yeah, he just needed more time. You
• 1:14:57
  shot yourself in the foot with which you Dan Anderson subplot, which was great
• 1:15:00
  plot. You put it in a different episode for somewhere else. Yeah,
• 1:15:02
  exactly. So they arrive and immediately when I heard the chanting, I was
• 1:15:06
  like, this is definitely feeling like Temple of Doom. And then you see
• 1:15:12
  him and he's like, oh wait, what's the guy's name from Temple of
• 1:15:14
  Doom? The leader? Mola m that's the one. Yes, terrify me
• 1:15:18
  as a child, like that movie is scary man love for a kid,
• 1:15:21
  like, let me watch that. It's pretty gnarly. I mean, Raiders
• 1:15:28
  has got some gross stuff in it as well, but yeah, Templa doing
• 1:15:30
  ramps it up though. Yeah that I think it was discussed before. The
• 1:15:33
  dude with a heart beating heart and gets put into the burning into the pit,
• 1:15:39
  but even just the you know, well, the feast is pretty gross.
• 1:15:42
  I mean, I know you the chill monkey brains does a view.
• 1:15:45
  What does it for me is the big snake and they cut it open,
• 1:15:46
  all the little snakes around. It's like, I'm gonna do this. And
• 1:15:49
  then the bit where the guys fall off the bridge at the end they get
• 1:15:53
  eaten by the crocs. Yeah, but also even just gross slimy bits,
• 1:15:58
  like you know, he's Willie Scotts going to reach into that thing and it's
• 1:16:01
  got the huge, big praying mantis or something like that. But then you
• 1:16:04
  think back to Raiders and you know there's a bit at the start where it's
• 1:16:08
  like he's got a spider on his back. Turn around. Oh my god,
• 1:16:11
  you've got so many spiders any back. Yeah. Up on Disney Plus
• 1:16:15
  this week, it keeps saying, you want to watch these movies, And
• 1:16:17
  I'm like, you know what, I do want to watch these movies.
• 1:16:20
  But I want to watch these movies. I'd interrupt it. So kids go
• 1:16:23
  to bed, Nicola go to bed to Nicholas never seen Indiana Jones and any
• 1:16:29
  of them for real, Nicholas never seen them. Oh my god, I'm
• 1:16:32
  actually looking forward. I'm actually going to make her watching moviney I want to
• 1:16:35
  see someone watch him for the first time. Yeah, funny. I watch
• 1:16:41
  Raiders with with lou And and two of her kids or two sons. There's
• 1:16:47
  a bit near the end where Indians fighting that Nazi mechanic the big the big
• 1:16:53
  game plane. Yeah, yeah, he gets propeller at the end. Up,
• 1:16:58
  but he's this big, sort of big guy with a bald. Loo's
• 1:17:02
  youngest son. We said, hey, it's you. That's that's not I'll
• 1:17:10
  take that big. It wasn't. He meant it as a burn, but
• 1:17:14
  it was kind of cute. Yes, it's like, hey, there's you.
• 1:17:18
  I remember the first time I was like a teenager, realized that Temple
• 1:17:21
  of Doom was a prequel. I was like, whoa, that's right,
• 1:17:29
  yeah, because yeah, I think at that stage we'll be useful. Well
• 1:17:31
  a sequel. It's a sequel. It happened. You have to win.
• 1:17:33
  This happened before. Wow, Spielbergs done it again, hold up money backs.
• 1:17:45
  What was it more to say about this? Basically, so they're chanting
• 1:17:48
  abu shabai, which means vote union. Um, you know, because he
• 1:17:51
  explained him that they've started following him because he told him all the secrets and
• 1:17:56
  that was a good payoff. I really like that. That was Like if
• 1:17:59
  this episode had all time and this all made a bit more sense, that
• 1:18:01
  would have been a killer way to wrap it up. I think it's like
• 1:18:03
  a really fun pay he told us about over time, and I'm just like,
• 1:18:06
  huh, you guys don't get any of that. That's that's and the
• 1:18:11
  fact that it's called a secret, like only Americans, like the Western world
• 1:18:15
  gets that, you know what I mean, Like all these guys work't their
• 1:18:17
  asses off, like they outsource all our work to their because they keeped all
• 1:18:23
  these extra things a secret over time and been at all these extra benefits,
• 1:18:27
  which I thought was just very very very well handled. Ending This man told
• 1:18:31
  you about these things. Yes, in fact, he gave them to us.
• 1:18:35
  Your a binding contract. A bomb shabay means vote union until no I
• 1:18:45
  was with you, even the beast and beast combat that had potential. But
• 1:18:51
  tweeting employees like human beings, that is madness. Oh you up here,
• 1:18:57
  ill Tabe. Maybe it was your tacat personality. Dick would have mine.
• 1:19:00
  Yeah, runs, but I reckon I've all had a boss that would definitely
• 1:19:05
  believe this. Oh but a homer at least it's proud you have dad,
• 1:19:13
  You've become the first minute outsource of the American workers sense of entitlement and privilege.
• 1:19:16
  And then we get a really stupid weird line that's like, what's like,
• 1:19:21
  how's chief Wigham? He was gravely wounded in a bay shoot out?
• 1:19:26
  He's funny. Yeah, what happened to do with any of this? No
• 1:19:31
  point to that. There was no need to have that at all, none
• 1:19:35
  at all, Burns and fires them all two months severance. Then we get
• 1:19:43
  a random Bollywood sung and dance at the end, and Smithers joins him because
• 1:19:45
  Burns knows he wants to join in because hey he's gaya. The guys love
• 1:19:50
  her dance apparently. Yeah, and that's the end of the episode. So
• 1:19:55
  there is definitely a I would dare say, a classic episode within this somewhere.
• 1:20:00
  Oh yeah, I think I think we did a good job sort of
• 1:20:02
  reshaping and excavating it. Yeah. If this was like in like season four,
• 1:20:06
  I've guaranteed this would be one that we look back on and is love
• 1:20:10
  I guarantee, because there's definitely such a good story in there somewhere. It's
• 1:20:14
  just a shame that they bloated the episode with the Richard Dean Anderson's story instead
• 1:20:18
  of leaving that for something else, and didn't allow themselves more time to flesh
• 1:20:21
  this one out and have it make more sense, because it was nice for
• 1:20:26
  them to have a Simpsons go to episode that wasn't just a bunch of a
• 1:20:29
  bunch of stuff happening and then the Simpsons go home again. No, there
• 1:20:31
  was a story, There was a story, and there was a reason to
• 1:20:34
  do this. Yeah, a strong for sure. What do we learn,
• 1:20:39
  Palmer? Just watch a lean from the episode, mister Davis, don't get
• 1:20:42
  yourself locked in the trunk of a car without a nail file, a gun
• 1:20:47
  without bullets and maybe some bullets that I can't believe I missed that gay That
• 1:20:51
  is gun without bullets and some bullets. That is good. Did I learned?
• 1:20:59
  Well, I haven't written anything. I'm just gonna try to think of
• 1:21:00
  something right here on the spot. Let me think of something. Let me
• 1:21:01
  never look skin through my notes. That dander one guy could probably write a
• 1:21:05
  decent Simpsons movie if we were given proper financial incentive. I feel like if
• 1:21:12
  we were given three months to come up with something good, we could produce
• 1:21:16
  classic ear Simpsons. I really do. Like it's just we're not the only
• 1:21:20
  ones. I feel like there are a lot of people out there. It's
• 1:21:23
  almost like it's weird. I don't know that the Simpsons writer's room is such
• 1:21:28
  a coveted thing where it's almost like, I don't know, but it feels
• 1:21:32
  like it's a hard room to get into, to the point where it's almost
• 1:21:36
  like now you have those and I'm not saying this is true, but it's
• 1:21:40
  almost like no one's allowed to come in in case you should outshow us,
• 1:21:43
  like yeah, yeah, outshine us. It's almost like there are so many
• 1:21:46
  people out there that are so talented that you just know would come up with
• 1:21:50
  great stuff, who were raised on The Simpsons, who care about their characters
• 1:21:54
  and want the show to be what it once was, and they're just not
• 1:21:58
  letting them have that opportunity. From this knee forward, your name D'll be
• 1:22:04
  all right, mister Davis did this time for the Guy David's New Name Championship.
• 1:22:09
  The current leaderboard stands at this in first position, Luke McKay on thirteen
• 1:22:14
  points, in second position, Adam Wollhouse and Heath app will be both on
• 1:22:16
  ten points, and in third position. We have grown Harrow Hill and Karl
• 1:22:19
  Muldoon both on nine points. What have we got for this week? Okay?
• 1:22:25
  Then one point goes to the outsource's apprentice. That would be one Justin
• 1:22:31
  Williams, who also got the one point last week as well. So well,
• 1:22:34
  don't Justin. That puts you now on four points. Good stuff,
• 1:22:38
  nice one justin two points four the dope jeeling limited? Not bad. Oh
• 1:22:45
  that's our man, Luke McKay. He's now climbing further ahead, and I'm
• 1:22:48
  fifteen points now watch out everybody, okay flying look and three points go to
• 1:22:55
  I thought this is a really good one. Subcompetent. Oh he could,
• 1:23:00
  Oh okay. So this one was from Clever Kyle, and Clever Kyle was
• 1:23:04
  in third position, tied with Garrode Harry Hill. But now Clever Kyle is
• 1:23:09
  outright second position on twelve points. All right, so third position is still
• 1:23:15
  is now Adam Worehouse and Heat that will be both on ten points. That
• 1:23:16
  were second. Then our third. We've got Kyle Muldoon now outright second on
• 1:23:20
  twelve points, and Luke McKay is three points ahead of Kyle on fifteen points.
• 1:23:25
  Now. This is the seventeenth episode of season seventeen. I believe there'll
• 1:23:29
  be twenty two episodes this season. Let's just double check Simpson's season seventeen.
• 1:23:33
  How many weeks left? We've gone twenty two, so there are five more
• 1:23:36
  episodes left in this season, five more weeks to try and get three more
• 1:23:41
  points to catch up Clever Kyle, and you know Adam Worehouse and Heath that
• 1:23:44
  will be a couple of three points you'll be catching up as well. It's
• 1:23:45
  very tight at the top of that our leaderboard there, so Luke McKay on
• 1:23:48
  fifteen, Kyle mule Doon on twelve, Adam Worehouse Heat that will be on
• 1:23:51
  ten, and Grode Harry Hill on nine. Very close. You can do
• 1:23:55
  it, Goes, you can do it. Indeed, all right, mister
• 1:23:58
  Davis, let's say it's time we get into that mail bag, reaching deep
• 1:24:00
  and see what we can fish out here. First question near Andrew JP.
• 1:24:08
  As always, he's got a top contributor badge on our exclusive Facebook community as
• 1:24:12
  well. By the way, guys want to be a part of that,
• 1:24:13
  Just going to be a supporter on Patreon two dollars per month gee access to
• 1:24:16
  not only some exclusive podcasts, but also our Facebook community. So this one
• 1:24:21
  here, He says, what's your favorite continuation slash remake of an old TV
• 1:24:26
  show? I really enjoyed that nineties show. Despite the glaring Batman Forever mistake
• 1:24:29
  that Dawn they pointed out on Twitter. It had a good mix of nostalgic
• 1:24:32
  fan service and new characters. Wow. I didn't mind the Willing Grace one
• 1:24:38
  once they got over the Trump gags. They were so heavy, so Trump
• 1:24:41
  heavy for the first season, to the point we were just like, I
• 1:24:43
  don't want to think about politics when I'm watching my sitcoms. Just fuck off
• 1:24:46
  with that stuff. Yeah, they got too clever with it, but it
• 1:24:49
  was nice to see. Yeah, it was nice to see those characters return.
• 1:24:53
  Though. What else that nineties show? It was fine and I do
• 1:24:58
  agree like it was nice fan service, but I maybe need to give it
• 1:25:00
  another go. I want you to watch it later at night. So I
• 1:25:02
  was tired, but it just felt too dumbed down for me. What about
• 1:25:08
  you? What's the show that's sort of been remade or continued on that from
• 1:25:12
  an earlier time. That's a really tough one. I'm having trouble thinking one.
• 1:25:15
  In all honesty, I've heard the Connors is good. Oh yeah,
• 1:25:19
  no, I never really, I haven't got I don't know where to watch
• 1:25:23
  it in Australia. Is it on Disney pluts? Not on Disney Pluts.
• 1:25:27
  I don't know if it is. I have not seen it on this do.
• 1:25:30
  Maybe it is. I'm not too sure, but I've heard the Connors
• 1:25:31
  is good. I've heard The Fuller House does a good job of sort of
• 1:25:35
  continue on the full House kind of vibe. I'm think pretty sure it's been
• 1:25:39
  canceled now after like five seasons, but you know, to get five seasons
• 1:25:42
  out of a show like that's a pretty good run in my opinion, especially
• 1:25:44
  in twenty twenty three. Anything else that comes to my mind, I can't
• 1:25:46
  really think of anything that comes to mind now. I think you can see
• 1:25:50
  the Connors own ten view in the okay, in a stream. I mean
• 1:25:57
  you've got to watch those pesky ads though, oh Man and Magan, so
• 1:26:01
  you can't skip me. Then I'm like, oh god, But that's enough
• 1:26:06
  answers anyway, all right, Next question my Boston Burchess. He says,
• 1:26:10
  who is your favorite cult hero? Favorite cult hero? Wow? Well,
• 1:26:15
  cult hero? What defines a cult hero? Cult hero? Yeah? That's
• 1:26:18
  a really good question. I'm going to google best cult hero is. Who
• 1:26:21
  it comes up to might give me an idea best cult heroes. Let's have
• 1:26:26
  a look. I guess always a sport sporting people. Yeah, a writer,
• 1:26:30
  musician, artist, or other public figure who was greatly admired by a
• 1:26:33
  relatively small audience, who was influential despite limited commercial success. Okay with that,
• 1:26:40
  Yeah, absolutely, there's a guy named Nick Drake for me. He
• 1:26:44
  was a UK sort of singer songwriter. Died at a very young age.
• 1:26:49
  It was either a drug overdose or accidental or deliberate. But he made like
• 1:26:55
  three albums and they're just really good and you can sort of see and feel
• 1:26:59
  his influence for a lot of stuff. But there's a good biography. Well
• 1:27:02
  there's a biography amount now. I don't know if it's good yet, but
• 1:27:04
  I'm going to pick it up for my travels and read it on the plane.
• 1:27:06
  But Dick, Nick Drake, here's my guy. Alrighty, Justin Williams,
• 1:27:12
  is there a staff from one of your favorite shows growing up that you
• 1:27:14
  would like to meet Brucie Baby? Well yeah, yeah, I mean I
• 1:27:17
  would have loved to have met Bruce Beck in his sort of although I wonder
• 1:27:21
  doesn't want to speak ill of people who are going through roughish times at the
• 1:27:26
  moment. Bruce was apparently a bit of a prickly character on occasion, but
• 1:27:30
  I would have loved to have met Bruce. Yeah, every of you was
• 1:27:33
  a prick. It's like he's doing the thing he's doing that. Bruce was
• 1:27:38
  a prick too, who was someone that I would like to meet from much
• 1:27:42
  haild as well. Speaking of our man Jim Cummings, he may not be
• 1:27:45
  the one on the show, but he essentially, as people say, voiced
• 1:27:48
  our childhood for those of us that grew up in the nineties. So getting
• 1:27:51
  to our do work with Jim has been an honor. Really, you know,
• 1:27:56
  he's this man is a dare we say god in the Disney world.
• 1:28:00
  He's um no, he voiced so many of the iconic characters from my childhood.
• 1:28:02
  So it's that was pretty well. What's nice is that you know,
• 1:28:05
  when you meet Jim, he's exactly how you would hope he would be.
• 1:28:10
  Isn't he very affable fellow, very very quick witted, but very friendly with
• 1:28:16
  it? Dear, you don't feel intimidated at all. He's he's a bit
• 1:28:20
  of a warm hug of a human being, if if he wouldn't mind me
• 1:28:24
  saying that if when the poo was a human being, it would be Jim
• 1:28:27
  Cummings. There you go correct. Finally, here Alice Kayley Burton, she
• 1:28:30
  says this is one of her favorite episodes from the later seasons. Our union's
• 1:28:33
  a big thing in Australia. Yep, yep, this is quite apt for
• 1:28:42
  those of us in the UK. There are so many strikes going on at
• 1:28:44
  the moment. Yeah, Australia used to be particularly Geelong. Geelong used to
• 1:28:48
  be so heavily based with manufacturing, didnaturing. But you know the thing is,
• 1:28:54
  taking all that away from Geelong hasn't impacted Geelong in the sense that Geelong
• 1:28:59
  just feels like it is just booming now because we're no longer a blue collar
• 1:29:03
  town, are we? We were for so long in the place were a
• 1:29:06
  blue collar, sleepy hollow. Nothing's happening down there. It's where shit got
• 1:29:11
  made. Yeah, it's where she got made. It's now the opposite,
• 1:29:14
  isn't it. Yeah, it's becoming a lot more white collar. Like we're
• 1:29:17
  almost an India and there are like a lot of places are outsourcing there.
• 1:29:23
  Yeah, they're there cortisines are like, hey, we can build offices in
• 1:29:28
  Geelong and pay half the rent, if maybe even less, And we can
• 1:29:31
  pay them less because the cost living is less, you know. So it's
• 1:29:34
  like, yeah, people are starting to realize, Hey, that Geelong place,
• 1:29:38
  that's a good thing we can take advantage of. It's a city on
• 1:29:42
  the grow. Yeah, but yeah, the whole Union aspect. Really,
• 1:29:46
  I appreciate a lot more having gone through my job being taken away from me
• 1:29:50
  due to outsourcing, so I definitely appreciate it that that angloist. Wish they
• 1:29:54
  handed it a little more thoroughly. Finally, he actually this more more,
• 1:29:59
  Glen Gomez says. He says, which actors have you seen in a show
• 1:30:01
  where you've also seen him in a previous show and you can only all you
• 1:30:03
  can do is envision him on their previous show. For me, whenever I
• 1:30:06
  see somebody from a big sitcom, usually like a you know, Sean Hayes,
• 1:30:10
  for example, He'll always be Jack. He'll always be just Jack,
• 1:30:13
  won't he. Yeah, he just wanted he just wanted a Tony for his
• 1:30:16
  work on Broadway. So yeah, congratulations Shawn Hays. But Towarus, You'll
• 1:30:19
  always be just Jack. Yeah. And you know, for example, even
• 1:30:24
  dare I say Mark Hamill, people see him it's like it's Luke Skywalker.
• 1:30:27
  Oh yeah, to the point where he I feel like it maybe one of
• 1:30:30
  the reasons why he delved into voice acting, because then you wouldn't see his
• 1:30:32
  face and think, oh, it's Luke Skywalker. It's we grew up with
• 1:30:36
  him voicing the Joker. I didn't realize it was Mark Hamill until I was
• 1:30:41
  much older. But he is so good at it, and I think that
• 1:30:43
  as he benefited from not being able to see his face because it was such
• 1:30:47
  an iconic role, He'll always be seen as Luke Skywalker. So I think
• 1:30:50
  voice acting was such a huge positive for him. Yeah. Absolutely. I
• 1:30:55
  mean it still happens to some small degrees. I mean Predera Piscal is obviously
• 1:31:00
  doing quiet well, he's got various gigs. But you know, I think
• 1:31:04
  Mandalorian for me, though I sent the message he's not in the suit anymore
• 1:31:09
  correct ye, Like he's doesn't seem like it should matter, But for me
• 1:31:15
  it matters. Oh yeah, like it really matters. For me. I'm
• 1:31:17
  just like, oh, he's just voicing. Oh, it doesn't feel the
• 1:31:19
  same anymore now that I know that, you know, I mean not that
• 1:31:23
  the last season was any good really anyway, I feel like that The Mandalorian
• 1:31:26
  has really lost it lost. I tuned out halfway through. I think I
• 1:31:30
  watched maybe three episodes, and I think the last one I saw was where
• 1:31:33
  little Baby Yoda not gonna call him grog Baby Yoda. Yeah that calling grogu
• 1:31:39
  baby Yoda, that's his name, did the backflips and won the little sort
• 1:31:43
  of sparring content, like you know what, not for me anymore. I
• 1:31:48
  watched The Way Indoor season two. I'm like halfway through the season, and
• 1:31:54
  I'm like, how have they fucked this up? Yeah? The Mandalorian,
• 1:31:59
  it would it was like a thing that could go on forever. It's just
• 1:32:01
  like Space Sheriff goes from town to town clean shit up. Yeah, how
• 1:32:08
  have you fucked this up? You know why? Because you're so infatuated with
• 1:32:12
  a fucking universe that you tried to incorporate it into a Bob fat and you're
• 1:32:15
  so focused on creating a fucking Star Wars MCU, like a Star Wars version
• 1:32:19
  of the MCU, that you have to watch everything to stay over complicated it.
• 1:32:25
  Like you said, it. Literally, it's just sheriff goes to town
• 1:32:27
  and fixes the issue. That's all it needed to be. And you've made
• 1:32:30
  it too. You've just fucked it. You've sucked it. You played yourself.
• 1:32:33
  Yeah all right, but anyway, that is enough. Let's wrap up
• 1:32:38
  this from S. Davis of the Kisskis Bang Bangalore Review. Hope you guys
• 1:32:42
  enjoyed it. I am, Yeah, definitely. This is one of the
• 1:32:44
  better the Simpsons go to episodes because it's not just the Simpsons go to episode
• 1:32:46
  just could have been could have been much more detaining and much more you know,
• 1:32:51
  revered, if handled with a little more care, could have been a
• 1:32:55
  little titter. Yeah, tast episode though from season seventeen that we're reviewing is
• 1:32:59
  the wetter story he's ever told, So looking forward to get into that one.
• 1:33:01
  I don't remember that one at all, so interested to see what they
• 1:33:04
  can throw at me for that episode. But this has been our review of
• 1:33:06
  Kiss Kiss Bang Banglare. By the way, we didn't meage what this the
• 1:33:10
  titles are play on what is it, mister Davis? Well, um,
• 1:33:14
  yeah, there's one of my favorite movies is called Kiss Kiss Bang Bang,
• 1:33:18
  which came out a year prior to this episode he did starring Robert Downey Junior
• 1:33:24
  and Val Kilmer. But I want to see if I've got this right,
• 1:33:28
  because I believe that Kiss Kiss Bang Bang was also the Japanese title of didn't
• 1:33:36
  the guy that from Predator make? Yeah? That's yeah, that's Shane Black.
• 1:33:41
  Yeah, yeah, did did he? Did he direct the original Predator
• 1:33:44
  or the new one? He was in the first Predator? He was,
• 1:33:48
  he directed the new one? Yeah, he's the guy who tells the pussy
• 1:33:50
  jokes, yes, yeah, and he also did a bit of a He
• 1:33:54
  also did a bit of on the on the set riding and yeah. Then
• 1:33:58
  he did the Predator a few years ago, which was not good. It
• 1:34:01
  was um the theme song for Thunderball or there's a Sorry, there's a lot
• 1:34:10
  of confusing information about this, but essentially there is a James Bond song called
• 1:34:14
  mister Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Okay, so that's where it comes from as
• 1:34:17
  well. I'm just looking up here. So do you know how much money?
• 1:34:21
  Kiss Kisskiss Bang Bang made something like ten fifteen million dollars, so it
• 1:34:27
  cost fifteen and it may back fifteen point eight. Yeah. Not good,
• 1:34:31
  not good, But you find that happening a lot, especially now is so
• 1:34:35
  many good movies and not making money at the box office anymore. It's just
• 1:34:39
  we're now viewing habits are changed. I don't think you can take box office
• 1:34:42
  taking this into account as a true reflection on what people think of a movie
• 1:34:45
  anymore. And it's really no, everything's going to streaming and video on demand
• 1:34:51
  so fast, I mean fast X. The Lays Fast and the Furious movie
• 1:34:55
  was in cinemas for maybe three weeks. It's add on video on demand now
• 1:35:00
  you could watch the Poe. I think you've got I think it now has
• 1:35:03
  to change for movies from like let's say twenty twenty two on, what's twenty
• 1:35:06
  twenty one onwards? Maybe, but from the pandemic where you don't put up
• 1:35:11
  the box office taking to take box office plus video streaming. So I felt
• 1:35:15
  the streaming costs need to be out accumulated into the money that the film has
• 1:35:18
  made. Look, these are really interesting and turbulent and challenging times for the
• 1:35:26
  entertainment industry because you know, streaming, Yeah, no one wants to pay
• 1:35:30
  for ship. I mean, whether it's streaming or piracy or whatever, it
• 1:35:33
  has really kneecapped a lot of things. You know, and like we were
• 1:35:38
  saying, art is creativity and expression also, but it's also you know,
• 1:35:44
  you've got to make money doing it because that money goes back into other projects.
• 1:35:46
  Dare I say the money has gone back into television? True true movies
• 1:35:51
  do well at the box office, but I feel like the ones that make
• 1:35:54
  the most of the ones that people like Netflix are willing to pay to have
• 1:35:58
  the rights to, or he said, to have the rice for example,
• 1:36:00
  like a Game of Thrones and things like that, Like that's where you're making
• 1:36:03
  your money now, right, I think. So. I was talking about
• 1:36:06
  this with a friend of mine long ago. I mean one of my one
• 1:36:09
  of my heroes, one of my guys, as Ben Affleck, because he
• 1:36:11
  strikes me as a really smart guy. And he did this long interview recently
• 1:36:15
  around the time of the release of Air, the movie about the their Jordan
• 1:36:18
  Sneakers at that which he directed, and he sort of formed this production company
• 1:36:24
  to finance it and all that kind of business, and he was talking about
• 1:36:28
  he seemed very savvy about the way the business was organized and how you know,
• 1:36:30
  he had one of his old movies of the town that he sold it
• 1:36:34
  had been on other streaming services but then he sold it to Netflix or a
• 1:36:36
  license of Netflix, for fifteen million dollars. And he makes the kind of
• 1:36:41
  movies that it's like Sunday night, there's too many options. I can't keep
• 1:36:45
  streaming. I know that movie. I recognize that movie, and it's going
• 1:36:47
  to go down easy. I was like that the other night. I mean,
• 1:36:49
  I had so many options to watch, and I'm like, I'd seen
• 1:36:54
  Air maybe three weeks earlier. I'm like, I can't be asked looking for
• 1:36:57
  more stuff. I remember liking this, and there's probably that I've missed the
• 1:37:00
  first time. Let's just watch this again. And that's the kind of movie
• 1:37:02
  that will keep making money again and again and again and again. Yeah,
• 1:37:06
  but I don't know, Like I said, interesting times, challenging times.
• 1:37:11
  What's the thing also with streaming now is that we're so blessed with how much
• 1:37:15
  content is out there, but the fact that there's so much content out there
• 1:37:18
  now that it's hard for something to be made, appreciated and remembered because you
• 1:37:24
  just forget it the second you start watching the next show, Like how many
• 1:37:28
  shows have you watched? And you have so absorbed in and then a month
• 1:37:30
  later you forgot that you even watched it. You're like, oh, yeah,
• 1:37:32
  that show. That was really guys. I dedicated fifty hours and I
• 1:37:34
  love to watching that. I haven't thought about it since. Yeah, Tarantino
• 1:37:39
  said something about this recently. I mean, you know, he's sort of
• 1:37:41
  got called out Ryan Reynolds, but he said, yeah, the reason I
• 1:37:45
  make movies and put them in cinemas is so you'll remember the experience of going
• 1:37:48
  to the movies and seeing it. Ryan Reynolds makes like makes all these moves,
• 1:37:53
  and Netflix like Red Notice or The Adam Project or Whatever's like I I've
• 1:37:58
  watched both of those recently. I'm like, hey, was that did that
• 1:38:00
  happen in that movie or that movie? I just know it was Ron Reynolds
• 1:38:03
  sort of you know, smoking and dropping one liners and ship. Yeah.
• 1:38:08
  So yeah, I mean they make a lot of stuff. That is something
• 1:38:12
  I read. Really that struck a chord reasently. It stopped being up when
• 1:38:15
  you started calling content because that's when you know machines could make it. Yeah,
• 1:38:21
  it's good for the like for us to consume it because we've got We're
• 1:38:25
  so blessed. I was trying to explain to Eliot yesterday because I said,
• 1:38:29
  go to bed, We'll take the footy for it. He goes, what
• 1:38:30
  does tape it mean? I was like, fuck, you'll never You'll never
• 1:38:33
  understand what that means. I was like, we're gonna save on the He
• 1:38:36
  gooes, okay, so it'll be on the TV. I'm like, yeah,
• 1:38:39
  you'll be on the TV's like okay, but like the idea of having
• 1:38:42
  to say something. But I was explaining to him about the video stor because
• 1:38:44
  I said to Nicola, we have this joke whenever we drive down Shannon Avenue,
• 1:38:47
  the gym sure the gym on the corner was video easy. I must
• 1:38:53
  always say, do you know when I was going used to be video?
• 1:38:55
  I'd say every time, just to annoy Nikola. It's just a joke,
• 1:38:57
  right, And now it goes, what's the video shop? And I was
• 1:38:59
  like, that's where when Daddy and Mummy were your age, we used to
• 1:39:02
  have to go to the shop if we wanted to watch a movie and it
• 1:39:05
  wasn't at the movies and we didn't have it at home, we didn't buy
• 1:39:08
  it from the shop. We could go to this shop and they would have
• 1:39:10
  all the movies, and if they still had it there, someone else hadn't
• 1:39:13
  borrowed it. We could borrow it, watch it and take it back.
• 1:39:15
  He guess what did you have to take it back for? I said,
• 1:39:17
  so someone else could watch it. He goes, didn't that TV have it?
• 1:39:20
  I was like, it's like, it's like and made me realize how
• 1:39:26
  lucky kids aren't there and they don't really understand the concept of having to just
• 1:39:30
  appreciate the three movies that you owned on tape, like summer holidays, you
• 1:39:33
  own five fucking movies and you just watch the shit out of them, right,
• 1:39:36
  and yet you where like now kids they can't sit through a movie anymore.
• 1:39:41
  They're like because there's just too much there to just We'll at a party
• 1:39:45
  on Friday for one of my cousins and the kids were sitting there and it
• 1:39:48
  got the fucking YouTube up through the PlayStation or like Elliott's age, and they're
• 1:39:53
  watching like thirty seconds one video. No, the next one, they're watching
• 1:39:56
  two. Let's put a diff one and put that one. I saw that
• 1:39:59
  one. They got from video to video to video to video. I'm just
• 1:40:00
  like, they can't sit still, they can't focus anymore. Well, that's
• 1:40:04
  funny. I mean that that thing about you know, short attention spans.
• 1:40:10
  That's been going on forever. Yeah, but it seems that the window seems
• 1:40:14
  to be shrinking with each generation. Like Elliott watches this channel, well I
• 1:40:17
  don't let him watch it anymore. But it's called Fun Squad, right,
• 1:40:20
  And it used to just be a family they have like five kids just making
• 1:40:25
  home movies, just being fun, like you know, cooking challenges and things
• 1:40:29
  like just having a bit of fun and have clearly been like I feel like
• 1:40:31
  bought out by somebody because now you're watching and it used to feel like a
• 1:40:35
  home video. But the fact that it felt like it was a home video
• 1:40:38
  was the charm of it. But now I timed it the other day.
• 1:40:42
  It doesn't go more than five seconds without a zoom in or a cut to
• 1:40:45
  something and a cut to this, and I'm like, no, one of
• 1:40:48
  kids have no attention span. They're fucking they can't concentrate on this. Some
• 1:40:53
  very savvy person at a YouTube or some consulting firm has gone the algorithm tells
• 1:41:00
  us that they're like this, this, this, and this, Please include
• 1:41:01
  all these things in your next view and don't go any longer than eight minutes.
• 1:41:04
  Yeah, oh okay, So it's just like like like they're talking there
• 1:41:10
  and then like closes it close up of his face and it zooms out and
• 1:41:13
  it's close up of her face and then like a wacky twelly thing, and
• 1:41:15
  I'm just like, this has been ten seconds. We've had like six camera
• 1:41:17
  changes. Why can't they just why can't they give to have the camera?
• 1:41:21
  I could literally get a headache watching it. Allie's just like I like it,
• 1:41:25
  and like he's getting more addicted to it. I'm like, that's it,
• 1:41:28
  plug pulled. You ain't watching this shit anymore. But enough about round.
• 1:41:32
  We've gone forever we haven't. This has been a long ass episode,
• 1:41:36
  but I hope you guys enjoyed it. I feel like I was actually talking
• 1:41:39
  to one of our one of our patrons recently, is like, you know
• 1:41:41
  what I like the most about the show now is when you guys just sort
• 1:41:44
  of just just talk about shit. He's like, no, the Simpsons is
• 1:41:46
  great, but like the Simpsons season seventeen isn't really the four finger discount show
• 1:41:50
  by season seventeen isn't really the reason I listened to you guys. I'm listening
• 1:41:55
  to you guys review the episodes. It's more just having you guys in my
• 1:41:58
  life. So I'm just like, I'm not gonna stop us from doing tangents
• 1:42:00
  anymore. And obviously I'm not gonna go this long every time. But occasionally
• 1:42:04
  in previous episodes he'd be like, sometimes, you know, it became for
• 1:42:08
  him, this guy Andrew Swansey's name, love him. He's happened us with
• 1:42:12
  a discord. He said to me, it almost became like a drinking game
• 1:42:15
  where guy would go off on a tangent and after a couple of minutes you'd
• 1:42:17
  go. But anyway, back to the episode, it's like see the Lion
• 1:42:19
  Dando. It's like you'd constantly kind of guy from the tangents. He's like,
• 1:42:23
  just let guy go, Just let him go off on these tangents and
• 1:42:27
  if it doesn't work, delete it. But I'm like, you know what,
• 1:42:29
  I'm gonna sit back now, let guy go. And I feel like
• 1:42:30
  some of the conversation with go today have been a lot of fun. Race
• 1:42:33
  yourself for a lot of tangent that don't work, or you'll never hear that.
• 1:42:39
  They never hear this conversation anyway goes thank you all right, that's it
• 1:42:50
  with a reviewed kiss Kiss, Bang Bang Glow. The next episode is the
• 1:42:54
