LNC Asks Did Dropout TV Make a Rookie Mistake? · Large Nerdron Collider

  Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, Welcome to the Largener John Collider Podcast, the
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: podcast that's all about the geeky things happening in the
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: world around us and how very excited we are about them.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: I'm Ariel Caston and with me is always is the
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: delightful Jonathan Strickland.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Rah rah rah Roma roma ma gaga oo la la
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: want your bad romance?
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: So a baby who wants tomatoes is looking for love
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: at a sports game.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: You're gonna have to talk to the lady in the
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: meat dress to get more information.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Rah rah mama oogaga roma bad romance. Yeah, baby at
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: a sports game craving tomatoes and looking for love.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Maybe I I'm quoting that because our question of the
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: week this week is to talk about a bad romance movie.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Last week we talked about our favorite romantic movie, and
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Ariel totally nailed the one that I had thought of
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: and I had even after some searching for a working pen.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: All this was cut out of the episode. I wrote
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: down my answer at Ariel knew exactly what it was
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: before even opening her mouth, so it was Princess Brian.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: But I thought, what about a bad romance movie? And
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: that could in my mind, that could be one of
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: two things. It could be a movie that's intended to
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: be a romantic film, but it's just not, in your opinion,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: not very good. I suspect Wuthering Heights would fall into
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: that category for me. Or a movie in which a
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: romance itself is bad or falls apart, like a relationship
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: doesn't work out. And sometimes those can be sad movies.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Sometimes they can be melancholic. There could be comedies. So
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: is there like a bad romance movie you could think
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: of that you liked?
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Yes, mind spans both categories For me. I know I'm
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: going to catch some flak, but I don't think that
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: this is a new opinion on this show. Titanic.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, the Leo DiCaprio Kate Winslet feature with mister Jimmy
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Cameron on the director's seat.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. I watched it twice in the theater. The
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: first time I was like, oh, I love that. The
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: second time I watched, I'm like, no, wait a site,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: this is horrible. Like the story itself and the romance
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: in the story are both bad.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Me to me. The fascinating thing about Titanic is how
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: so many people, myself included, were convinced that this was
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: going to tank James Cameron's career because it had gone
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: so wildly over budget that you just assumed it was
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: going to be like one of the all time flops.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: And instead it goes on to become at the time,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: the top grossing film at the box office.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, like it was impressively done. It was well acted,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: and the cinematography was great. The way they did the
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: effects was really good. The poor Kate Winslet having to
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: stay in freezing cold water. But yeah, just like the
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: story itself is when you think about it.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: No, I just want to say, sure, Kate Winslet, but
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Leonardo DiCaprio had to stay in freezing cold water longer
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: because she left him there. I mean, and there was
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: room on that door.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: That is true, That is true, But I mean, and
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I feel like she had to stay
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: on the door in the cold water longer than Leo
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: had to stay in the water next to the door
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: for filming actual filming purposes. Right, And then have you
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: ever I'm sure you have where you get into a
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: pool and it's cold, but then you get out of
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the pool and it's even colder, Sure, and you're wet
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: and you're freezing, like that's that's what she had to
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: go through. So maybe it was colder in fully in
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: the water, or maybe it was colder on the door.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: I don't I don't envy any actor who has to
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: go through that kind of process. Like I I realize
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: that I often downplay acting, even as someone who's done
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: plenty of acting myself, I downplay it because I'm like, yeah,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: you play pretend for a living crime a river, but
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: if you're like having to be in really tough conditions
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: and put on a believable performance, that's tough.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: It is. I studied Udah hog In for a while
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: and I still I still use a lot of what
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I learned. But one of the things that she taught well,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, her big thing is like being familiar enough
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: with the environment around you within the scene and your
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: moment before, in your moment after and all of it
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: that like you're you're comfortable with all of it. You're
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: not thinking about anything, You're just in living it right,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: which is what acting is. And she just has some
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: steps to help you. But one of the things was like,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: if you're sick, think about how that affects you. Physically,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: but you don't want to actually be sick. Think about
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: how you'd act if you're drunk, where you over enunciate
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: so you don't sound drunk, but don't actually be drunk.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: And so like when it's like you need to be
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: freezing cold in this water. I'm sure it helped her
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: get there, right, she's cold in this water. But sometimes
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: those physical effects distract you from the story going on
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: because you can't stop thinking about how cold you are.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I feel the same for like actors who
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: have to do a lot of wire work, you know,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: because that's a very unnatural kind of situation to find
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: yourself in, and you have to Depending upon the situation,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: you may have to you may have to act terrified,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: which might not be much of an act depending on
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: how good the fly crew is, or you might have
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: to act like you're in control. And you know, if
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: it's like a Marvel film where you're you know, you're
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: doing the epic rising off the ground and your eyes
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: start glowing. Moment, yeah it looks cool, but in the
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: moment it probably feels real uncomfortable.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, for sure, unless you're Cynthia Arrivo in Wicked,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: part one because apparently she took to that like a
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: duck to water.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, also, I guess it depends on the
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: rig and everything and your body type. It's a lot
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: of different factors.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Well, I think that's a Titanic. I think is a
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: decent one. I mean, you know, we don't even have
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: to touch on what our opinions are of the decision
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: to throw the diamond into the ocean at the end.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Anyhow. And then a lot of my bad romance actually
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: goes to plays, but that is neither here nor there,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: because you asked about movies. What is your bad romance movie?
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Mine is a little romantic comedy called Midsummer. Oh well,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: it's about a relation that's a toxic, codependent relationship that
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: ultimately becomes like the source of a lot of horror
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: later on in the film, right, because you've got this
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: woman who has experienced a devastating personal loss to the
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: point where, like the first time I tried to watch
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Mid Summer, I had to turn it off because Florence
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Pugh's performance was so viscerally tragic and upsetting that I
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: felt so much empathy I could not continue. It was
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: too much for me. But the relationship she's in. She's
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: in a relationship with a guy who you get the
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: feeling like he should. He feels like he should break
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: up with her, but he feels like he can't because
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: that would make him the bad guy, and so he
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: would He wants to avoid being the bad guy, and
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: so instead he just stays in this relationship he doesn't
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: want and continues to treat this woman poorly. I'm assuming
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: for the hope that she'll be the one to end
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: the relationship, so she'll be the bad guy. So it's
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: a pretty I mean, it's very toxic, and that's that's
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: the foundation for the horror that continues and the transformation
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: that Florence Pugh's character goes through. So yeah, I would
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: say that's a real bad romance.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, we're going to talk about a couple more
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: bad romances in our at least one more bad romance
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: in our actual show notes today. Yeah, in my opinion,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: but like a lot of like Romeo and Juliet, No,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: that's not a great love story.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Well, but it makes sense though, in the sense of
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: like if you're if you ever had a crazy crush
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: when you're young, you know you can mistake that for
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: being deep abiding love, right, And so from that perspective,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: like as an adult looking at Romeo and Juliet, you're like, yeah,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: this is a tragedy because it's these two people who
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: have interpreted their attraction to one another as this deep love,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: which maybe it could have developed into that. It certainly
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: feels more like it's a primal attraction based upon the play.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Maybe it could develop into a stronger relationship down the line,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: but because you have this feud between these two families,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: it's doomed to start. And so I don't whenever I
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: read Romeo and Juliette, I don't get the feeling that
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Shakespeare was trying to position Romeo and Juliet as truly
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: meant to be together. Maybe he was, but that's not
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: the interpretation I come to when I read it. I
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: come to two people who are just like really really
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: into each other, and unfortunately it's a situation where that
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: ultimately leads to the tragic end.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: I think my landscapers agree with you, because if just
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: decided to blow it outside my window. Yeah, so apologies
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: to our listeners they had moved on this morning, but
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: I think they just they really agree with Jonathan's viewpoint
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: of Romeo and Juliette.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: I mean it's I often have the same thing happen. Typically,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: our landscapers come on Thursday for the townhouse area that
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: I'm in, but occasionally they come in on our Friday,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: so I've been there too. And I don't think our
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: listeners will hold any grudges because we had no control.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: I something we do have control over that I wanted
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: to talk to you about was what have you watched
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: since our last recording a full seven days?
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Hence, Gosh, what did I watch? Oh? I watched Good Luck,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Have Fun, Don't Die?
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: What did you think?
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: I really enjoyed it. It was At first I was saying,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: it feels like a fresh sci fi, like a fresh
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: story that's not a rehash or redo. I know we've
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: had a ton of movies about AI, but it just
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: it felt fun, It felt original. The acting was great. Yeah,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: you could tell a couple of the plot points in advance.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: The interesting thing was from the trailer, I thought it
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: was going to be Bonker's Cuckoo with a ton of
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: like bizarre AI creatures and a whole bunch of stuff
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: like in the Network and stuff like that, and there
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: are definitely those things, but it just followed a slightly
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: different path than I expected. It wasn't bad, and I
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: didn't enjoy it less for that, but it did surprise me.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: It was interesting because there were some teenagers sitting directly
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: behind me, and they kept talking during the movie, but
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: it was in response to what was happening in the movie,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: like it was engaging them and they were excited about it.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: So it was a little annoying, but I'll give it
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: a pass.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it wasn't. It wasn't like like, so, what are
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: we doing after this or anything like that.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, like the time I went to Deadpool two
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: and the people behind us were talking about the foot
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: ball game on their phones loudly and drunk. Yeah, it
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: was not that. I've also watched a bunch of Shrinking.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: I'm almost done with season two. You know, it's an
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: adult show, but it is fun and heartfelt and very well,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: very well done. And I watched episode three of Fallout
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: season two.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Okay. I was hopeful that I would be able to
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: go and see at least a movie or two this
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: weekend because originally my partner was going to go out
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: of town, and I thought, oh, you know, I'll just
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: go catch a couple of movies because it can be
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: challenging for the two of us to find movies that
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: we both want to go see. Yeah, but it turns
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: out she's not going out of town. So unless I
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: do convince her to go see a movie, I'm guessing
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to get that chance. And there's quite
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: a few that I want to see, and I don't
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: even know if they're all still playing. But one of
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: them is the one you saw, which I still have
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: not seen. One of them is like Scream seven, although
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: I kind of feel like I need to see Screams
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: four through six first and again. I may have seen
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Scream four, but I don't remember it. I know i've
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: seen one through three.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: It definitely feels like it's a continuation of at least
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: all the NEV Campbell vehicles.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I need to There's another Heart. What was
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: the Oh Send Help? I don't even know if that's
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: still in theaters, but I really wanted to see that.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: I think it's in select theaters still.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So there's quite a few things that are still
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: on my list, but I have not been to a
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: movie theater in about a month.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: But might be able to do good Luck, have fun,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: don't die. It wasn't There was a little bit of blood,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: but it wasn't too gory. Yeah, it wasn't too sexy.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: I was trying to convince her to go and I
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: might still be able to do it because I was like,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: I was like, this is giving me vibes. I don't
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: think it's like the same thing, but it's giving me
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: similar vibes to everything everywhere, all at once, where you're like,
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: this movie is going to be entertaining in ways that
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: will surprise you. But she's not a Sam Rockwell fan,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: and I don't know what's wrong with her.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: You know. I was trying to see it with my
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: friends in Florida, and one of my friends is also
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: not a Sam Rockwell fan, and I was just like, Okay,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: he didn't like He didn't like it once he started
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: playing jerks.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: I just love Sam Rockwell. I think he's a very
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: great actor, and I love when he dances.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: What I will say is this movie gave Tony at
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: least more of a sorry to Bother You vibe than
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: a everything everywhere, all at once vibe. Okay, but better
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: than Sorry to Bother You? He liked Sorry to Bother
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: You more than me. It lost him later on me.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: I just thought it was too arty.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Throughout.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: It was hard to follow the storyline because of it.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: I appreciate it for what it was. It was well
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: done and there was I like the message, and there's
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: some really interesting stuff, but it was the composition of
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: it was not for me.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Got it well. The only thing I've really watched is
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Becca and I finished Superstorey. We got through the final season.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: The last episode is kind of sweet, kind of sad,
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: also kind of like you get the feeling that they've
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: really had to wrap things up pretty quickly the whole
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: final season. I'm not going to give them any much
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: away in case there are other people out there who
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: just haven't watched it but have been thinking about watching it.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: The whole final season is a little challenging because one
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: of the important characters has left the show at that point,
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: so it changes the dynamics. But I still enjoyed the
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: final season, and I was still kind of bummed to
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: see it end, even though this show has been over
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: for years. But I enjoyed it. I thought it was good.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: I need to watch the finale for a night of
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: seven Kingdoms. I have not yet done that. I just
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: haven't found the time, but partially because a couple of
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: games came out with updates that have consumed all my
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: spare time because I've fallen into those which games specifically,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: well one of them, they're both older games, well one
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: of them technically is not even in full release yet,
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: and that's Fields of Mystery, which is very much a
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Starduo Valley kind of clone, like to the point where
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: I'm like, y'all, this is like lifting so much from
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Stardoo Valley but still kind of fun. And they did
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: an update where they're one update away from having the
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: full release of the game, so it's been an early
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: access for like years. But they introduced a whole bunch
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: of new new material on Monday or Tuesday. On Tuesday,
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: and I'm ashamed to say I've worked through almost all
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: of it already, oh wow, because I was like, my
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: character is at a very advanced level in the game,
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: so a lot of the quote unquote challenging things weren't
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: really challenging for me because I had played like so
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: far beyond what you need to play, like, I just
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: kept going. It's like, think of it like an open sandbox.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: I just kept going and I didn't need to the
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: other one, I think was actually not a new game.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: It's an older game too. It's Graveyard and Keeper, which
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: is also kind of Stardo like, but with a kind
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: of a grim twist. And I can't decide if I
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: like it or not. I've played a lot of it,
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: but I don't know if I like it because the
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: crafting system is so obtuse in that game.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Interesting. I did actually play some Minecraft with my parents
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: this week, so that's fun. I haven't done that in
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: a while.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: I haven't touched Minecraft in years.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: And they started a family server, which is delightful because
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: it means eventually my nephew can join us, though I
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: am worried he is young enough that he might just
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: destroy all of our stuff.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: I put a block of lava down at the top
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: of your building.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, well, yeah, he loves lava. And then I
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: watched some pit Tony has started Expedition Clare Obscura Expedition
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: thirty three, so I've seen.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: A little bit of the French JRPG.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Yes, it's interesting. I'm trying not to watch too much
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: of it because I do think I'm also going to
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: play it.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm just not I'm not a fan of JRPGs. Like,
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: they just have never appealed to me. I can understand
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: their popularity with other people, but it's just one of
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: those where I've tried to get into them and it
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: just I don't know, it just doesn't work for me.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: But that being said, like, I'm also, you know, obviously
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: a Starduo Valley fan. I'm really excited about the next
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: bad Epe game, the Chocolateeer game that's been in development
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: for ages. Take your time. I'll be glad to play
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: it when it comes out. I'm not one of those
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: people who's saying, like, hey, where is it, because Goodness Dows,
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: that guy gave us so much content through Stardow Valley
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: that I think he deserves a pass.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah for sure, Well that's fun. I do hope you
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: get to see some movies this.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Week, and yeah, maybe we'll see I mean, right now, Ariel,
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: you know what the plan is for this weekend. It's
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: to get together with some friends and do some singing.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: For sure, whether or not we get to do it
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: is I mean, I'm not the one in charge. I
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: was just the one who asked that we do it,
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: but I'm not the one in charge, so I'm not
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: the one who's made like reservations or anything. And as
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: far as I know, no reservations have been made yet.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: And the place we like to go to does private
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: karaoke rooms, so here's hoping there's availability.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I mean I don't know about reservations. I
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: know that, like a final headcount was mentioned yesterday.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't think they were. I think they're
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: only open on maybe Thursdays, but definitely like Fridays and Saturdays.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: It's one of those places that does not stay open
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: for the full week.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, but they are fun. They've got a good catalog.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you can connect through to YouTube. If they
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: don't have the song you want, you can use their
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: app and find a karaoke track on YouTube. You can
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: do it that way too.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: They used to not have that. They used to say
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: they had that and they didn't, but now they do
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: and that's pretty cool.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah. All right, Well, then are you ready for us
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: to segue seamlessly into our thirty seconds or less section?
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: As ready as I'll ever be.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: All Right, Well, I start off, and of course, what
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: story could we start off? With but this week Paramount
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: made an offer WBD couldn't refuse. That's Warner Brothers Discovery,
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: and Netflix has now chosen to walk away from the
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: proposed acquisition. In return, Warner Brothers Discovery, we'll have to
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: fork over two point eight billion dollars to Netflix for
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: canceling the deal. Paramount's acquisition still has a long road ahead,
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: but if this does go through, there are a lot
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: of uncertainties involved, such as the fate of networks like
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: CNN and HBO.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: On Paramount, though they are full into some Turtle power speak.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Is that right? Yes, because Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mutant
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Mayhem's sequel will arrive on August thirteenth, twenty twenty seven.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: You can still watch the first season series. It's a
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: little confusing on Paramount right now.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I believe they actually moved that date up. I
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: think it was originally a little bit later in the summer,
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: So that's kind of cool. Adam Winguard, who was attached
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: to direct a sequel to the John Travolta Nicholas Cage
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: high concept action film Face Off, has exited the picture.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Amount has been trying to get a Face Off sequel
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: going since twenty nineteen. Windingard himself was attached to direct
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: since twenty twenty one, but for whatever reason, things just
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: haven't worked out, and it's back to the drawing board.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: I guess to save base.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Second verse same is the first, a little bit longer,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: a little bit hopefully not worse. We talked about the
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: television show Robinhood coming to MGM plus a little while
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: back on the show and now it looks like it
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: was super popular. They're getting a second season and it's
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: going to be expanded. That's great. At first, I was like,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: these people are young to be playing Robinhood and made Marion,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: But I realize that's just because in my brain when
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: I was a kid, robin Hood was always like forty
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: and these actors are like twenty nine, but then probably
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: be closer to the age they would be.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah in real life, Yeah, it's hard to be a
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: spry archer in your forties, trust me. Well, last week
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: we talked about how Ryan Coogler was actively casting for
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: his reboot slash reimagining of the classic sci fi mystery
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: series The X Files. Well, now Hulu has ordered a
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: pilot for this new show, which will feature Danielle or
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Danielle dead Weiler as one of the leads. Dead Weiler
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: previously starred in The Woman in the Yard and I
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: saw the TV glow. No word yet if Jillian Anderson
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: will be involved, but fingers are crossed.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Tom Hanks is breaking new ground by playing an American president.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: You'll be playing Abraham Lincoln in Oh Gosh, in Starburn
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Industries Lincoln in the Bardo. He's also helping to produce
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: it. It is interesting because it's coined as a live action,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: stop motion animation hybrid movie, which is interesting. He will
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: be live action, I'm guessing everybody else will be animated
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: stop motion, which is maybe how they'll make him seem
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: as tall as Abraham Lincoln was.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, now that I have to make him seem younger
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: because Tom Hanks is thirteen years older than Lincoln was
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: when he was assassinated. But anyway, in news that we
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: find a bit disheartening, we learned this week of another
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: company focusing on AI and animation. This business is called
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: AI Spasia, which claims to be quote pioneering the ethical
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: and artist driven use of artificial intelligence and animation end quote.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: The founder, Jordan Goldnadle says he intends to keep animation
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: a human centric effort, just with the benefit of AI tools,
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: So we shall see.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: I guess maybe they'll have the person draw the thing
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: and then AI.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: Help stitch the animation together.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't know. Also, it would be great
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: if it wasn't taking up so much water and energy.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: That would also help ethically. Sorry, I will reserve the
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: rest of my feelings to myself. Sony is thinking about
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: doing a new live action Spider Man movies, a some
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: new live action Spider Man movies, and when they do it,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: they will be doing new casts. That's interesting because I
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: do think that Tom Holland is slated for another Spider
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Man movie.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: I don't think this is the Tom Holland Spider Man stuff.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: I think this is the extra Spider Verse stuff like
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Venom and Craven and that kind of thing.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess it says that, Yeah, it'll be a
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: reboot to the live action Spider Man universe and it
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: will have a new cast. So I guess they're wiping
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: the slate clean and trying to do it again and
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: maybe learning some lessons. I hope so, because like the
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Spider Verse stuff is really cool. It's animated, but it's
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: really cool.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see and then we're getting the live action
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Spider Noir, so like it's weird. I think the issue
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: is that Sony is like, it's really hard to do
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Spider Man stories without Spider Man in them. Yeah. Yeah,
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: Stream seven just came out, and here we are already
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: talking about Scream eight. Kevin Williamson, who wrote the screenplay
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: for Scream, Scream two, Scream four, and Scream seven, says
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: he and Nev Campbell had been brainstorming ideas for what
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: could come next, and apparently Nev had an idea that
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: got some traction. So if Scream seven does well, it
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: sounds like ghost Face will be back again.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Interesting. I think you've heard the last story. Yes, lastly,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: there are rumors that Villain's Land at disney World is
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: going back to the drawing board and becoming more family friendly.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Among those rumors is that they're going to turn the
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Maleficent Scary roller coaster into a more friendly Emperor's New
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Groove coaster, and that Melpica will be moving to a
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: different ride. And the interesting thing to me is that
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: the rumor also says that there's going to be a
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Hades dinner show instead of a Madam Medusa dinner show, which,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: according to the article, like I don't know anybody who
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: would make a Rescuer's dinner experience. Yeah, yeah, So this
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: is why I'm lumping it all in as rumor, because.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: Like, yeah, there's also a rumor that they're going to
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: have a third ride that'll be more like a Carnival
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: flat ride that will be Ursula themed. If I had
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: to guess, I would hate to see this just because
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: it would be the fourth one in the park. But
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: I would guess something akin to like Dumbo.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: That's what this article says it's going to be.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: But again, there's three of those already, because you have
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: Lad's Carpets, you've got Dumbo, and you've got the rockets,
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: the retro rockets, right.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I was honestly kind of excited for
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: a slightly more YA and adult section to the park.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: It's in Hollywood Studios.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah or no, no, this is Magic Kingdom. Okay, this
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: is Magic Kingdom.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: I can't understand why they would make it more family
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: friendly there, but I was looking forward to a slightly
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: more YA level.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: I can get that. I can understand that, and you know,
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: part of me is like, man, I would like something
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: with a little bit more of an edge to it
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: with Disney villains. But at the same time I can
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: respect that Disney, you know, like their their target audience
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: or families, and the Magic Kingdom, well specifically of the
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: Magic Kingdom. Yeah, but like I think, I think there
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: are a lot of Disney adults who and I use
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: the terms loosely, who are are really upset about this
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: because they wanted to have like something super dark and edgy,
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: you know, they wanted to have once upon a time
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: like that once show. They wanted to have, you know,
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: that kind of level of villainy and and and over
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: the top campiness and stuff. And I just don't know
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: that that that Magic Kingdom is the place for that.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: I agree. I mean, I did love the Alien experience
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: that they then replaced with the Stitch experience. I hated
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: both of those they then took out, but I understand
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: how it didn't fit the thing with villains, And I
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: understand Magic Kingdom is the park that is completely kid geared, right.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: The other parks do have more thrill rides, they are
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: a little bit more geared towards older kids and adults,
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: but like, I have very little reason to go to
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: the Magic Kingdom anymore. I've done those rides, and unless
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: I'm feeling nostalgic, I prefer the other parks. Also, the
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Disney villains are a little scary. I don't feel like
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: they're already more kid friendly around the rest of the park.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: But I don't want to make them too sympathetic or
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: too kittied down.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Mind, I don't mind the goofy ones, right, Like, if
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: you have villains who are goofy and you because like
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: Gaston is mostly goofy until you get to like his
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: brutality toward the end of the film, right Or Captain
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Hook is very goofy as well, even though he's intent
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: on killing Peter Pan, he's still ultimately kind of a
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: silly villain. Hades is silly, you know, Isma is definitely silly. Yeah,
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: So there's like there are certain ones that I feel
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: benefit from that. There are others like Ursula I don't
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: think is she gets pretty menacing, like scar is pretty menacing,
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: but and Maleficent is pretty menacing. But we'll see, Like
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: I'm not ready to write it off yet. I mean
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: I do kind of wish that there were a park
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: that was like the Dark Universe equivalent for Disney's Villains,
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: because I think that could be a lot of fun.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: But again, I don't think the Magic Kingdom would be
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: the right place for that. It just would feel weird
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: to have a section of the park that was not
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: super welcoming for kids.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I get I do get that. I get that.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: My brain just keeps putting Villains Land in Hollywood Studios,
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: which would be great.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they just Hollywood Studios just doesn't have the space
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: for it though, Like they don't have the ability to
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: expand quite as much as oh I thought they did.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, they'd have to rip out some stuff like
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: employee parking and stuff like that to be able to
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: expand the park and then figure out where they were
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: going to put things. Like they they definitely expanded quite
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: a bit when they shut down the studio part of
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: Hollywood Studios. And there was a time, once upon a time, y'all,
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: let's go back into the wayback machine here where Hollywood
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: Studios was specifically called MGM Studios and it was a
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: working you know, live action studio space. But those days
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: are long gone.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: I remember going through and getting a studio tour and
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: seeing them working on Aladdin. Yeah, yeah, said he knew
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: one of the animators.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: The animation the animation area specifically. Yeah, I remember seeing
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: them working on and a couple of different movies including
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: I want to say Lion King, which at the time
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: I was like, who's going to see this and it
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: turned out the answer to that was everybody.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: And they also used to have like a backlot tour
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: which has been turned into other stuff.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: But never been to Radiator Springs, so that's interesting.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: That's yeah, that's out in disney Land.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Oh I thought there was one in They're not done
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: the car stuff at Disney World.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: They haven't built it yet. That's why the Car's Land
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: is also being built at Magic Kingdom. That's one of
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: the two lands that's expanding in Magic Kingdom as Cars,
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: which is where the Tom Sawyer Island used to be
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: and the Rivers of America used to be. They drained
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: the Rivers of America. They've done a whole bunch of
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: landscaping and building over what on what used to be
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: Tom Sawyer Island. That's going to be the Car's Land,
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: and then back behind where the Haunted Mansion is is
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: where the Villain's Land is going to be, So there's
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: still a lot of work to be done, but you know,
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: I'm definitely looking forward to it. I've been going to
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: the park since I was a little kid. Magic Kingdom
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: is still my favorite park. Like I recognize that, like,
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: if you want a thrill ride, you should probably go
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: to one of the other parks, unless you don't mind
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: the fact that Tron lasts like slightly longer than your
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: average sneeze because it's a thrilling ride, but it does
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: not last very long, you know. But that's not why
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: I like going to Disney World. I like going to
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Disney World. You know. Pirates of the Caribbean and Haunt
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: and Mansion are my two favorite rides ever, like, not
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: just at Disney, but period, So I like to re
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: experience those, although I probably have gone a little too
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: frequently and it would probably benefit me from taking a
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: little more time off between visits just to be able
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: to appreciate it more.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I get that. I get that. I remember when
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: I used to go to Disney on the occasion as
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: a young adult, and uh, it was like, these people
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: are not happy. I think my mom mentioned it this
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: woman looks so unhappy to be here. She doesn't have
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: to be here.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, it's one of those things also, right where
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: you feel like you're supposed to be having a good time,
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: but it's expensive. The weather can be very hot, it
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: can get very crowded, your family might be having struggles, like,
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: especially if it's really hot and crowded. Like, there's a
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: lot of things that can impact your time. And meanwhile,
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: the whole time, in the back of your head, you're thinking,
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: I'm supposed to be having the time of my life,
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: that's what this is all about. And that can just
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: sabotage your whole vacation. And it's unfortunate that the easiest
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: way to get around that is to be someone like
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: an annual pass holder where there's no pressure, Right, you
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: can just go and experience one or two things and
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: leave if you want. But such a tiny percentage of
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: the population is able to afford that, not to mention,
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: live close enough to make it practical, right. Yeah.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: As much as I love Disney World, I fully recognize
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: the limitations and flaws, like, especially when it comes to affordability.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: It's so expensive, yeah, and I know that, like, and
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: it's it was expensive back in twenty twenty, the last
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: time I went. Yeah, so I went February, right before
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: the world shut down. And then it's even more expensive now.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: And I understand if you're going to go to Disney
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: a bunch, it's more financially reasonable to get a season pass,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: but also.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: That's a huge, huge chunk of money and not every
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: like again, like we live in Atlanta, which is if
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: you're driving, it's a good seven eight hour drive away
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: from Orlando. If you're flying, then that obviously adds a
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: ton more expense to your trip. Then you've got hotel,
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: you've got food, like, all that stuff adds up. And
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: even if you can afford the annual pass being able
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: to justify all right, how many times do we need
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: to visit for this annual past to have made sense? Right?
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: We have to visit at least like seven or eight times.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: And how realistic is that for most people? I don't
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: think it is. So it's hard.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: And then it's still several hundred dollars for hotel gas.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: Yep, unless you're unless you're insane and you're part of
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: the Disney vacation club. But what kind of crazy person
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: would do that?
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: Me, Yeah, you've enjoyed it.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: It's true. I've used it. I've used it every year.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: I have never missed using it.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: And they bring out look on the DVC nights, they
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: bring out all the characters.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, like I've met I've met power Line. You know,
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: I've met I've met Phineas and ferb and now.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: A few years back, I went with my friend's family
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: and we bumped up against a DVC night. We were
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: leaving as it was starting, and we got to see
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: like Monterey Jack from the Rescue Rangers.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: Like, yeah, yeah, I've seen some of the characters from
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: Ducktails before, but we don't. That's the other thing, man,
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: I don't mean for this to become a Walt Disney
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: World DVC podcast, but as a member of DVC, often
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: I just don't see the notifications of when those nights
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: are happening. So for me, it literally ends up being
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: chance that I happen to be going while something is
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: going on, because they usually only do a couple events
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: per year. So like, again, if you don't live in
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: the Orlando area. First of all, if you live in
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: the Orlando area, I don't know why you would be
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: a DVC member because you could just commute there. But
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: if you live there, then you could take advantage of
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: these things more frequently. But if you live somewhere else,
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: you're like, am I going to plan a whole vacation
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: on this particular date just so I can maybe get
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: a picture with dark wing duck or something? Then? Yeah,
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm just not that person.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: So anyhow, off of Disney and onto things that fit
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: even listen to our podcast.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's Mark on the section this week. First up
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: is a trailer for a movie called Is God Is,
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: which is an adaptation of a stage play.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: Oh, I did not know that is the stage play
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: by the same name. Yes, it is about two sisters
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: who are charged by their mother, I guess, on her
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: deathbed to go kill their father because their father is
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: a horrible person who set their mother on fire and
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: apparently a little bit of one of the sisters.
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: Both of the sisters actually, but it's just that one
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: of them has visible scarring on her face and the
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: other one typically at least in the play, has scarring
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: on her back and arms. But yeah, it's in the
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: play from what I understand. Have not seen the play.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: I've only read up on it. The sisters, who are twins,
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: do not realize that their mother is still alive. They
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: believe themselves to be orphans. They find out they get
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: a message that their mother is alive but is dying
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: and wants to see them. They go to visit her.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: The mother says, your father's what is who did this
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: to us? And he deserves to die? And then the
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: sisters set out in a journey to find their father
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: and punish him for what he did when they were children,
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: assuming that that's all true, right, Like this is assuming
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: that the mother is telling the truth, and I don't
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: know if that's true or not, but it's a revenge movie.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: And it's also complicated by the fact that their father
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: has now formed a life with a different woman and
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: that life looks much more stable. So it's like the
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: sisters are struggling with this reality that they had a
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: really super frickin hard life and this other family ends
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: up having like a nice life and they're like that
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: adds complications like why why why do they get that?
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: And we got what we got right and the meanwhile,
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: the whole movie, like the style made me think like
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: seventies grindhouse mixed with Tarantino.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I got I super got kill Bill vibes from
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: the trailer. Yeah it's not a Tarantino movie though, No,
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: that's not. The cast is phenomenal.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: No, it looks I mean it looks like it's incredibly
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: stylish and well done. Like again, I have not seen
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: the play, but the reviews I read of the play
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: were all very glowing reviews. And having not seen the
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: play and having not seen the movie, I can't confidently say, oh,
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: this is like a really good film adaptation of a
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: stage show. But that's what that's the vibe I'm getting,
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: and I'm hoping that that's actually what happens.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: Me too, me too. Yeah it looks really good.
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it comes out May fifteenth.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: Next, we have a trailer for Pretty Lethal, which is
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: like John Wick Ballerina, but if it's a bunch of
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: actual ballerinas and they are raised to be assassins but
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: rather fall into.
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: Kicking butt, kicking butt, or mostly kicking faces. But yeah,
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: I think it was originally titled I looked at this too.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: I think the original title was something like Ballet Overload
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: or Ballerina Overload.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: Amazing.
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: But yeah, the plot is that there's this ballet troop,
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: and like the members of the troop are all kind
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: of frenemies, they're not. They don't all get along, but
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: they do perform together. And they're invited to compete at
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: this conference that happens in Budapest in Hungary, and on
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: the way there, their vehicle breaks down and they seek
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: shelter in this big old house and then for some reason,
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: people keep trying to kill them. And I don't know
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: what's happening, but Uma Thurman's there.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and one of the girls from the Mean
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: Girls movie that came out recently, she's also, Oh is she?
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: I did not know that. I just the only person
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: who I recognized was Uma Thurman doing a really weird accent.
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: Apparently that role was originally going to Lena Hetty.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: Oh interesting, I think than is better for that. I
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: mean it again also vaguely killed Bill Vibes for some reason.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: It gave me John Wick vibes. But yeah, So anyway,
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: there this troop of ballet dancers. They're using their athletic
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: and dancing skills to try and fight their way out
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: of a kind of a hostage situation, and it looks
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: absolutely ridiculous, but it also looks like the kind of
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: movie that knows that it's absolutely ridiculous. Not that it's
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: like nodding and winking to the audience, but it's just
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: embracing that, and part of me really respects that.
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah for sure. Other notable names are Mattie's Eigler,
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: who I think was a dancer for the Sia. She
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: was a dancer for and on one of the stance shows. Yeah.
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: So yeah, it looks bonkers, but in a way that's
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: meant to be really entertaining. It comes to Amazon Prime
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: on March twenty fifth, so you can just stream it
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: at home if you want. I might actually check this
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: out because it does look like ridiculous, but in a
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: way that was intentional.
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah for sure. Something else that looks ridiculous is the
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: trailer for Influenced.
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a film that takes a character created
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: by comedian Jill Kargman. She created this character during the pandemic,
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: and it's this mom influencer type named Zanielle dz A
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: n I E l L E. Zanielle who who who
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: like curates this huge following online for her mommy influencer
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: content And she seems like pretty shallow and obsessed with
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: like fame and influence, and meanwhile it's possibly not actually
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: the best mother to her two children for sure. I
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: but it's a comedy.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: It is a comedy. It's got Jason Biggs in it,
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: so that gives you kind of the tone.
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: And Drew Barrymore and Gwyneth Paltrow both appear as themselves
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: in the movie.
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there are some funny moments in this trailer. Overall,
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: I feel like it's probably one of those things that
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: I would enjoy more as a little social media clip
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: than a full guess movie.
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, like I it could turn out to
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: be really entertaining. It makes me think a little bit
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: of like films that are based off SNL sketches, right,
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: Like sometimes those work not all the time, you know,
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: for every Blues Brothers or Wayne's World also get An
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: it's Pat or Stuart saves his family. So I'm not
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: saying that it's going to be a knockout of the park.
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: I will say, like, they just had a screening of
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: this here in Atlanta because it was part of the
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: Atlanta Jewish Film Festival, and that was like two days
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: ago when we were recording this, so I know that
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: they're planning a wide or at least a wider release
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: for this film later in the spring, but I did
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: not see any actual dates.
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: Gotcha. I would say it doesneally it would be fun
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: to be and for sure.
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'm sure that it's like if it
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: were for the fact that I have such frustration and
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: anger directed at some of the people in this movie
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: who are actually peddling the kind of stuff that's being
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: satirized in it, I might be more keen to go
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: see it, for sure.
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: For sure, Well, are you keen to watch Sunny Nights?
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: This one I'm curious about too. So this is a
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: series and it's an Australian series, but it features a
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: couple of American actors. That's got Will Forte and Darcy
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: Cardan as siblings who are wanting to start up a
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: spray tan business in Australia and they get wrapped up
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: in some weird criminal dealings for reasons that are not
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: clear in the trailer, but they do look very funny.
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is a comedy. It's a dark comedy, but
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: it feels a little bit, I don't know, at the
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: same time more serious that I'm used to seeing. Will
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: Fortier Darcy cardin play. That's not true. They've both played
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: serious characters. But I don't know.
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, it looks like it's definitely more comedic than say,
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: Better Call Saul, right, get Better Call Saul. Has comedy
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: in it, but you would never call it a comedy.
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: This I would call a comedy.
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I think it looks pretty interesting.
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: I do too. It comes out on Hulu on March eleventh.
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: I think it's yet. It already premiered in Australia, so
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: our friends down Unda have already had a chance to
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: see it. If you are down Unda, let us know
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: what you thought of it. But make sure you turn
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: your email upside down because otherwise we can't read it.
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: Don't turn your email upside down. I've been able to
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: read your emails just fine.
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I'm just going to say it. I haven't
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: been able to read any of your emails.
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: You are on our email.
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: Account, yep, but I've got a filter.
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: Oh. I do share them all with Jonathan.
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: So she does. I try to avoid it, but boy,
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: they get to me anyway.
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: He loves that you're a part of our geeky community.
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: I do. I'm just being a grouchy old man for
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: the fun of it. I don't mean what I'm.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: Saying, I'm I'm just clarifying.
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: But yeah, Sunny Nights looks like like it could be
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: a funny sort of crime series, a much more lighthearted
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: take than something like a Better Call Saul, or way
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: more lighthearted than The Ozarks, or.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: More lighter light hearted heist than The Christophers.
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: The christopher is not really a heist.
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: But it's not a heist, but it is a.
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: Con Yeah, it's another like kind of dark comedy drama film.
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: So The Christopher's is a movie that's coming out on
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: April tenth, and it stars Ian McKellen as an artist
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: who's kind of become increasingly grouchy and curmudgeonly and reclusive
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: since entering into his elder years. And it has Mikayla
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: Cole I believe as as a restore restoration artist, like
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: her job is to help restore paintings, but she's also
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: a talented forger, and she is hired by the artists
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: adult children James Corden plays one of them, to find
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: and complete some unfinished paintings that their father has done,
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: known as The Christopher's. It's a series of paintings, to
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: finish those paintings, to learn his style, finish those paintings
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: so that when their father inevitably dies, they're able to
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: make millions of dollars off of these works that otherwise
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: he's not going to finish. He has shown no interest
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: in finishing, And so it ends up becoming this interesting
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: story where she is hired on to be his assistant.
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: He is not completely fooled by what's going on. And
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: you also find out that there is a past relationship
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: between the two in that he did something in the
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: past that derailed her artistic career, so she has like
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: an axe to grind on top of all of these things.
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: I've read some reviews, and everything I've read says like
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: the interplay between the two leads is really the whole
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: reason to see this movie.
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: It does look like they have a good chemistry playing
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: off of each other, for sure.
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's a film that explores things like, you know,
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: art and commerce and things like experience, ambition, how fame
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: can sometimes lead someone to torpedo people coming up behind
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: them for whatever reason. It might be out of you know,
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: concern that you're going to be displaced. It might be
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: just you know, kind of spite. It's interesting because like
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: it makes me think of like Simon Cowell on all
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: those talent shows where he would be super critical and
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: people saying, like, you know, you're like you might be
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: legitimately ruining someone's chance at a career and it's not
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: that they're terrible, it's just that you're getting you know,
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: karma points or whatever, clout points for being a jerk
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: on TV.
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because you know, some of those people may not
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: be there yet, but they might get there eventually, but
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: if you discourage them from trying, they never will.
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then we're all poorer for it.
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this movie does interest me. It looks pretty slow paced,
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: but it does look pretty good.
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah. This looks like the kind of movie where if
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: I wanted to go see it, I would want to
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: see it in the right group of people. Like if
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: I went to a theater, I'd want it to be
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: a thoughtful audience. They are there to really see. I
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: could see me seeing watching this and say the Plaza
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: right like that kind of theater. But otherwise I would
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: just wait to be able to watch it at home.
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: It's not going to be a spectacle movie. You're not
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: gonna be like, man, did you see the part where
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: Ian McKellen's painting explodes. That's not going to happen.
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know for certain, but probably.
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: I feel pretty confident.
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: Well, that's all we have for things that don't fit.
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess it's time for you to grab six
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: extra arms and throw them on so that we can
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: blend in with all the spiders who live in John
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: Boys horror Hutch.
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: You know, maybe I'll just go pee while you talk
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: about your whore stuff.
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: Curious if you watched any of these trailers.
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: I I did one of them. I'm like, oh, I
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: wouldn't have put this in. It's gonna be hard to
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: talk about on our show.
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: Well, it's curious which one you're talking about, because touch
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: Me and teenage sex and death that tough.
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: But the middle one, especially, I'm touched.
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: That's more.
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: That's more schmesy than I would normally put into our lineup.
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: But it's your horror Hutch. So well, I did watch,
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: but I did watch the trailers.
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: I will, I will, I will justify my inclusion of
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: each of these. But first up, we have a teaser
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: for the back rooms. Now this is based off a
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: creekypasta meme from like twenty nineteen, where's this idea of
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: this extra dimensional space that looks like a bunch of
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: pretty mundane nondes script rooms with like industrial lighting that
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: just appears to stretch on forever, and if you were
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: like the implications that if you start to explore it,
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: you're going to get lost there and never be able
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: to find your way back. And there have been lots
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: of things that have been built around this idea, either
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: directly or obviously inspired by this idea, this whole liminal
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: space kind of thing. But now we're getting a movie
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: that is based off this idea. The teaser doesn't give
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: us a whole lot. We get some voiceover, and we
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: get a lot of shots of weird, increasingly weirder looking
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: rooms as it goes down level by level by level.
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: But the story I saw is that I think it's
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: a therapist or maybe a psychiatrist who's patient goes missing,
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: so she starts to look for him and finds herself
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: lost within the back rooms. As a result comes out
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: May twenty ninth. I mean, I have no idea if
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: the story is going to be compelling or not.
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: I the trailer looks interesting. I'm scrolling through images from
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: Creepy because I'm not familiar with creepy pasta.
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: Really, yeah, it's creepy pasta is all so it's it's
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: kind of a taking the words copy paste and making
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: it creepy pasta because it's all about it. It's like
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: the internet message board era version of folklore.
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: Gotcha? I mean that could be interesting. I probably will
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: end up being too scary or weird for me, but interesting.
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: The trailer was definitely palatable.
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, like, if it's done well, I
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: might really enjoy it. But I the capacity for people
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: to do, you know, very half asked approaches to meme
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: based stuff is pretty high. Like slender Man is another
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: great example, right, Like it's you could make an interesting film,
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: but obviously reality also played a part in that, where
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: we had the real life tragedy around the whole slender
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: Man's story that made it difficult, if not impossible, to
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: make a good movie. I don't think they would have
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: made a good movie anyway, but definitely after that happened
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: and they changed the film that it had no chance.
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: Next time, we have a trailer for a truly weird
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: movie called Touch Me. The story is that you have
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: this couple of friends. There's a woman and a man.
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: Man's gay, the woman straight. They have a need to
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: relocate because the apartment they're staying in has had a
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: plumbing disaster and they need to live somewhere else while
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: that gets addressed, so the young lady says that her
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: ex has offered to let them stay at his place,
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: and the gay boyfriend gay best friend rather is like,
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: you had nothing but bad things to say about this guy,
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: but okay, but they go and stay and then it
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: turns out that the boyfriend looks human, but it's actually
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: an alien, not just an alien, but the tentacle kind
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: of alien, but looks human unless it's time for things
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: to get a little steamy, and then the tentacles come
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: out literally. And it also turns out that this alien
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: is able to through touch ease anxiety, like anxiety just
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: flows away. And so the gay best friend decides that
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: because he's very anxious, that he's seeking out that kind
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: of relief as well. He enters into a relationship with
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: this alien who's also a narcissist. And so it's a
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: story where it's got aliens, it's got co dependency, it's
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: got narcissism, it's got gore, it's got.
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: The horror portion.
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: Partly, I would argue, yeah, the gore is probably more so,
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: but yeah, it looks very strange, and I included it
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: because I was like, this is the kind of story
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: that I can't imagine being made in any other format
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: other than a movie, Like like.
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: I really make a manga.
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I like I like when someone tackles a
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: project where you're like, oh, this needed to be in
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: this format as opposed to why did you choose this? Right? Like,
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: there's sometimes where you see something like, oh, this could
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: have been a series, or this could have been you know,
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: a comic book or whatever, and it would have been
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: better this. I feel like, man, this feels like this
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: needs to be this format to tell this story. It
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: looks weird, but the reviews I read sound like it
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: doesn't quite live up to its potential that it could
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: have been, like one of those truly weird movies that
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: stands the test of time to cause it so strange,
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: but doesn't quite stick the landing. It comes out March
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: twentieth for a theatrical release and April second for a
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: digital release, So I'm kind of bummed that the reviews
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: are kind of middle of the road at the moment,
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: because I think it looks like it had the potential
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: to be very strange. Fortunately, we also have teenage sex
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: and death at Camp Miasma.
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: Which is very strange. It's looking it. I think it's
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: an art piece, much like the TV Glow.
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I saw the TV Glow. It's written by
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: the same person who did I Saw the TV Glow,
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: which is you know, we're going to keep mentioning that
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: apparently in this episode. But yeah. The premise is that
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: a filmmaker, young woman who is queer, has been given
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: the chance to erect a movie that's in a horror
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: film franchise, and the horror franchise is called Camp Miasma,
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: So it's like a Friday the Thirteenth kind of horror franchise, right,
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: And the filmmaker wants to to use the actress who
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: is in the first of those movies. She played the
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: final girl in the first of those films. She wants
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: to find that person and bring her into this project.
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: That character is played by Gillian Anderson, secondary now a woman. Yeah,
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: and but but then as they work together, things start
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: turning kind of dream like and then nightmare like. And
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of like psycho sexual imagery in this trailer,
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: Like it's not subtle. If you watch the trailer, you're like, yeah,
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: I see what you're doing here. It looks really weird.
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: And it comes out August seventh, and I am intrigued
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: because again, it's not your typical horror movie, like it's
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: weird looking.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll be interested to hear your reviews on them
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: if you watch them. I'm not they are not for me.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: No, this is not an aerial thing. I knew it
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: when I saw it. I was like, this is not
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: for Ariel, but I am intrigued. Also, I just want
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: to mention a couple of trailers that I watched, but
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: I don't plan to really talk about. Faces of Death
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: has a trailer out now, but we mentioned during the
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: teaser kind of an overview of that. Ariel sent me
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: a trailer for In a Violent Nature too, which I
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: never saw. In a Violent Nature, But this looks to
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: me like your very typical backwoods slasher film, like a
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: killer is stalking people. Yeah, killer stalking people in the woods.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: Maybe I'm wrong about that, but that's what this looked like.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: It didn't give me like there was nothing about it
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: that made me think, oh, this is a new take, right.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: And then Refuge is one I saw just before we
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: started to Acord, which is a story about a group
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: of four men who go on a fishing trip together,
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: but then one of the four drugs and then binds
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: the other three and it turns out that his I
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: believe his daughter was killed and that he believes one
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: of these men was involved in that, and so he's
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: determined to get to the truth, and so it becomes
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: kind of a torture movie, like a torture hostage movie situation,
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: where he's trying to find the truth and like he's
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: been just driven to extreme violence and an effort to
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: find out what happened to his daughter. So those are
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: also those trailers are out there if you want to
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: check those out. But I'm not gonna chat about them anymore.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: Let's talk instead about stuff that's actually in our show. Notes.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad to run headlong out of your horror
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: hutch and into some slightly less horrific.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: Need to take off those extra arms because those are rentals.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: Oh they're already back.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: In the Oh, okay, cool, cool?
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: Do I have more? Do I have two sets of
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: extra arms?
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: Crap? Those are just the spiders on you? Let me
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: just you know, I just it's fine, It's fun.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: Okay. Anyhow onto slightly less horrific actual show notes.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, starting off with we got a little teaser
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: video that really just is a casting announcement for Wednesday
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: season three.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It starts off with Lurch and Lurch light dancing
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: the tango to reveal all of the people that are
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: coming back to the season and all of the new
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: people that they've cast. Uh. Why Nona writers in the season?
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: She I don't think she's been in a previous season.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: She is not. She plays a character called Tabitha. Eva
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: Green is also for season three. She is aunt Ophelia.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: She will be Mortitia's sister. Chris Sarandon was listed as Balthazar,
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: and I don't remember this because I haven't watched Adam's Family,
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: the film from the early nineties and so long. But
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: apparently Balthazar is referenced in that movie as a cousin,
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: and that Gomez and Mortitia met at Balthazar's funeral, and
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: that Gomez may have actually been responsible for Balthazar's demise,
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: but don't know if it's the same Balthazar.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: Time will tell. It also shows that they show the
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: card for Enid, who is Wednesday's roommate and friend at
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: her academy, burning in a fireplace. I looked into this
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: and Enid will be in season three, but largely in
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: her Werewolf form, so that's interesting.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I have not watched any of the Wednesday series.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: It's one of those things that friend of the show,
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: Shaye Lee, has told me that I probably should just skip,
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: simply because not because she thinks I would be upset,
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 2: but just that I would be frustrated, like I would
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: want it to be better than what it is.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: Yes, season two is better than season one, but I
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: fully agree I wanted it to be better than what
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: it was.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, I'm sad because I like Jenna Ortega a lot. Like,
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: if if Jenna Ortega does just a couple more roles
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: that really resonate with me, I'm gonna have to make
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: her my girlfriend.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: No, she's too young. She's too young, Like I do
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: like her as well. I just I think that this
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: Wednesday show is not We're not the targeted demographic.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, which is fine again, but uh, we don't actually
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: have a release date for when Wednesday season three will
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: come out. Some people are suggesting that it may be
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty seven when this season drops. So it's kind
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: of funny to get a casting drop like this because
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: you're like, if it's going to be that long before
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: the series is ready to air, then was there a
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: real point to drumming up excitement this early. I guess
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: maybe to get people to watch the first two seasons.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, to try to get some more views on it. Which,
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: speaking of, we've got a trailer for All Mankind Season five,
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: and I forgot that there was a show called for
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: All Mankind, not to mention four seasons of it.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 2: I didn't even I mean, if I did know, and
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: it's possible that I did, it had completely left my
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: mind because I was like, oh, wow, this show looks
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: really interesting. But man, it feels like they dropped you
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: right in the middle. And I was like, oh wait,
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: this is for five. They didn't drop me in the middle.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: I dropped into the middle. Yeah. Do you know the
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: basic premise of the show.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the space race never ended and now we're colonizing Mars.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: Well, and the Soviet Union was the first to land
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 2: on the moon, not the United States, and so that
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: changes the entire geopolitical landscape and the development of both
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: the Soviet Union and the United States from that point forward.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: So it's an alternate history kind of show. And each season,
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: from what I understand, takes place about a decade after
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: the previous season. So we're now up to the twenty
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: tens in season five, and at this point there is
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: a colony on Mars. It seems like the colony on
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: Mars is rebelling against the US government and its control
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: over the colony. Meanwhile, the US government is being like
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: real jerkfaces about it, Like it looks very similar, like
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 2: an analog to the independence, well know, the United States
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: declaring independence from the United Kingdom or England.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: I should say, I feel like maybe we have talked
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: about this, but it was I don't know. Being colonized
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: on Mars sounds more exciting than just this Russia landed
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: on the.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: Moon first, I see. To me, I find it fascinating
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: because I have looked into the space race so deeply,
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: like there really was this incredible political push to be
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 2: the first right and it's a story that is in
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 2: some parts inspiring because it allowed scientists and engineers to
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: tackle tremendous problems and find solutions, which is really cool.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: But in many ways it's very cynical because it's also
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: about displaying superiority against an opponent in a cold war,
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: And you're like, it kind of stinks that it required
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: this animosity for this incredible human achievement, Right, wouldn't it
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: be nice if if we did it just because we
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: wanted to do it, as opposed to we need to
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: do it before those other yahoos do it?
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, Or even if it were a we both
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: want to do it, let's come together, kind of like
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: the marsh the ending of the Martian.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So I do feel like I should check this
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: out because I have a feeling that it would be
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: interesting to me. It's a little intimidating knowing that it's
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: already got four full seasons behind it, and there are
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: other stuff on Apple TV that I still need to watch.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 2: But this season five comes out March twenty seventh. I
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: will say like, it looks like it's pretty well done,
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: and I don't think it looks the most compelling out
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: of all the Apple TV things I've seen, but it
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: looks it doesn't look bad.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it look's well done for previous seasons. Isn't as
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: intimidating to me because if my husband also wants to
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: watch it, we'll just plow through in like three weeks.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, and it also seasons aren't the same as
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: what they used to be, right, Like, we're not talking
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 2: about twenty two to twenty six episodes.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, unless you're the Pit. The Pit hit hits like
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: thirteen episodes a season, and I love that it's that long.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: I wish it were longer, honestly.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: But yeah. Next up is what I'm going to let
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 2: my beloved co host handle because it involves one of
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: her very favorite entertainment outlets.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so news dropped that News dropped that drop Out TV,
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: which is the college humor turned streaming platform making their
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: own content streaming service, and the aby C show The
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: Rookie are having a crossover where Nathan Fillion and his partner,
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: who are both cops, end up at the Dropout studios
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: because of some crime that happens there. And it features
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: a huge amount of like the Game Changer cast and
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: Sam Reich and who I guess is also cast but
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: he's also the owner of Dropout TV, working with the Cops,
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: Nathan Fillion and his partner. And I watched the trailer
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: like conceptually, I'm like, yay, more work from the Dropout
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: actors that I love, And then I watched the trailer
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: and it just felt to me like a weird mashup.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: Like it didn't they didn't integrate seamlessly together. And that
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: could have just been the clip from the trailer. It
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: could have been that Sam rai delivery when he was
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: being interviewed just did not fit the tone of the
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: show and the rest of the trailer for me. I
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: don't know what it was, but it I hope that
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: people have a lot of fun with it. I hope
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: that it garners a whole bunch of more jobs for
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: those actors at drop Out that I love, because I
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: know at least some of them could use some more work.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: And I don't know, it just it's a weird mashup
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: and it didn't grab me the way I hoped it would.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah. The community has also had a pretty divisive response
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: to this because a lot of the community around Dropout
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: TV identifies as left leaning, and some of them identify
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: the Rookie as what they would call Kappa Ganda, as in,
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: it's a show that puts police in a particularly heroic
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 2: and positive light when the realities that we face often
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: that's a different experience than what people typically encounter. And
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: I can see that. I can understand that criticism. On
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: the flip side, you know, it is a show. It's
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: a show, so like, I get that too, but like,
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: I don't want to dismiss people's concerns out of hand.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: And I also think that giving opportunities to a streaming
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: entertainment service on a you know, legacy broadcast TV series
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: is kind of interesting.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is interesting. You know, I do understand both
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: sides of it. I I went down a deep rabbit
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: hole on the people who are upset about it and
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: the people who weren't and why they were or weren't.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: And you know, some people are like, well, it's at
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: least in the Rookie the cops are trying to do
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: good things and be good guys and that's you know,
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: and like great, And some people are like, it's not
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: as bad as like a some of the other procedurals
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: that are out there that show cops doing bad things
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: that people are like, yeah, that's okay, they did that.
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, like you think of things like twenty four,
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: which glorify torture.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: And I enjoyed twenty four. And you know, as an actor,
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: I have auditioned for procedurals. I will audition for them
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: again because it's telling a story, whether it's a story
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: of what actually happens or a story of what I
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: wish would happen, you know. But really, I just hope
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: that the people who do want to watch it have
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: fun watching it well.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: And the show. The episode's titled Fun and Games, and
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 2: it airs on March second, so very soon next week.
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 2: And you know, I like Nathan Fillion as an actor,
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: and you know, I think he's a very funny person
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: as well. Also, just anecdotally, I know he enjoys improvisational comedy.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: He would go to Dad's Garage theater here in Atlanta,
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: and he was guesting at Dragon Con. Because I remember
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: actually being in the in the audience when he was there.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: I didn't know who he was at the time, and
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: I don't I don't think I saw him. I just
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 2: heard from one of the improvisers later, like, oh, you
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: know who was in the audience Nathan Fillian, and I'm like, wow,
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: who's that. Of course I know who he is now,
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: but back then I had no clue.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: Well, and it has Zako Yama, who I love, as
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: an improverb.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: So yeah, A couple of the dropout folks show up
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 2: in episodes of Superstore, which is kind of fun, as
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: as does a member of the State, as does a
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: well one of the one of the principal characters is
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: played by a member of Kids in the Hall, but
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: later on a separate Kids in the Hall performer is
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: in an episode, So there's a lot of fun comedy
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: people who show up in that show.
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a drop out I mean drop out people
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: show up everywhere in insurance commercials. Lisa Gilroy's in Twisted Metal,
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: Give Me a Befoornia is in a an elementary you know,
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: there's a bunch.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: Of I saw Jacob Waizaki and something like a young
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 2: Jacob Waizaki in something like just a clip that played
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 2: for me on YouTube not too long ago, and I
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 2: can't remember what it was now, but I remember looking
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 2: and it was it might have even been Superstore. I
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: think it was Superstore, honestly, And I looked at him, Like, WHOA,
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: I think I know who that dude is.
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean I love it because I like
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: seeing people who make entertainment that I enjoy make more
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: entertainment that I will hopefully enjoy.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, So here's hoping that that show brings people
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 2: entertainment and you know it doesn't ruffle to many feathers,
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 2: and that you know we're able to all kind of
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 2: pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and move on. Next
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 2: up is a trailer for something that I could not
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: get through. So I'm going to let Aeriel take this
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: one too, because this is this is Jonathan kryptonite what
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: you put on this So like the horror Horror Hutch
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 2: is Aerial kryptonite, this is Jonathan kryptonite you put on
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: this list.
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: So a while ago, there was a TV show called
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: The Jury and it starred James Marston, I believe, and
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: it everybody. It was kind of a mockumentary about the
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: process of being on a jury and a trial. Lisa
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: Gilroy was in at too, and and everybody was an
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: actor except for one person who was was asked if
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: he would be willing to be on a be considered
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: for a jury for a documentary and agreed, and then
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: ended up being selected for the fake jury for the mockumentary.
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: And at the end he got treated really well and
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: he really enjoyed the experience, but then he was put
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: into a really bizarre like all of these actors had
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: like the office level personalities and encounters and like actions,
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: and the guy at certain times is like, this cannot
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: be real.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So the whole idea is that the guy who's
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: the non actor is not told that this is all faked.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 2: He's going into it thinking that he's part of a
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 2: real situation with real people, one of whom happens to
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 2: be actual Hollywood actor James Marshy James Marson.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I really enjoyed the series. There were some
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: very cringe worthy moments. But then watching the making of
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: it afterwards, because there's a whole episode about like the
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: behind the scenes. At the end of the series, everybody
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: really like the actors. One felt bad anytime they did
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: something that upset the non actor, for sure, and then
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: the crew was and the production company was super careful
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: to take care of the non actor's mental well being
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: and welfare.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, which I think, honestly, you can trace this back
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 2: to an earlier prank show that used improvisers called Joe Schmo.
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 2: If you remember Joe Schmo from the early two thousands.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 2: The idea was that he was invited to be on
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: like a reality TV competition show that was kind of
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 2: like a you know, sort of like a Big Brother
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 2: slash dating kind of thing, and everyone on that show
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 2: was an improviser except for him, and Kristin Wig was
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: one of the improvisers on that way back in the
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: day pre SNL Christin She got a concussion on that show,
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 2: but yeah, he It was one of those where it
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 2: was originally framed to make the one the person that
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 2: was being pranked. It was made to make him look
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 2: like a dufus, except that he was so genuinely earnest
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 2: and compassionate toward other players that it quickly became clear
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: that if they went down that route, they would all
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 2: be villains. Like yeah, the audience would detest everyone else.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 2: So they pivoted and they turned it into a show
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: where they were making sure that he was gonna win
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 2: and that he was going to feel good because he
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: seemed to be an actual, decent human being. So I
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 2: get the feeling that the choices made in the Jury
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: were largely informed by previous shows that had a somewhat
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 2: similar setup where you've got a person who's not in
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: the know, and then everybody else is in on the joke,
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 2: and you don't want to make the person who's on
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 2: in the know feel like they're the punchline.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and they definitely did not make in the original
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: Jury Duty the guy the punchline. You know, they put
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: him in a very positive light. They ended up all
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: really liking him, and I think he stayed in touch
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: with some of them afterwards. Like the way that they
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: treated the production made me like what I watched more.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: The thing I this new one is a guy's hired
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: at a company to help with the company retreat. That helps.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: Like with Jury, they had to be subpoenaed and put
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: away so they wouldn't be in touch with like social
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: media to get other people's opinions about which actually does
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: happen on Jury's It was just weird how it happened
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 1: in this show, because like they went out to a
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: restaurant one night and it was like a Margaritaville or something,
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: and it was really weird and it did things that
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: you wouldn't normally do on a jury, but if you
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: aren't informed, you may not know that, or you might
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: just be like, well, this is a special case or whatever.
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know how they're doing this. Again, this new
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: guy is hired at a company and his first job
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: is to help with the company to retreat to make
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: sure nothing goes wrong, and it feels a lot more
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: like the actual Office.
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of like there's a lot of
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 2: cartoonish characters, like, yeah, there's the there's the CEO who's
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 2: who's preparing to hand the company over to his son,
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 2: and the son is like a total frat bro kind
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 2: of vaping jerkface sort of character, like like entitled jerkface
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 2: and again cartoonishly so. And meanwhile, the the CEO occasionally
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: is like a Michael Scott kind of character who says
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 2: dumb things and then is called out by like, you
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 2: really nailed it. It really is like the Office the
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 2: bits that I saw, But I bailed on this trailer
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 2: because I was like, I empathized too much with the
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 2: person who's not in on the joke, and I don't
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 2: find enjoyment in this because I don't like that the
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 2: whole entertainment is let's put someone in a truly absurd
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 2: situation without telling them that's what's happening, and see what happened.
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 2: I'm like this just I get that. You know, you
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 2: might be treating them well, they might have a good time,
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 2: but I can't get past the feeling that this is
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 2: exploitation and I hate it.
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: And that's reasonable. The main thing I want to know
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: is how they were able to pull it off a
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: second time without someone, especially in today's day and age,
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: being super like aware of what's going on.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I general you have trouble with pranks anyway. Most
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 2: of the time, I feel like most pranks, like ninety
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 2: percent of them just come across as really mean spirited
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 2: to me, Like especially those videos on YouTube where it's
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 2: maybe like a couple who are just doing a prank
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 2: war like those just always look so mean, and you know,
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 2: I get like, they're doing it for the views and whatever,
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 2: and they're making money and you shouldn't feel bad for
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 2: them whatever. I don't know. I just don't like seeing
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 2: that help in the world, y'all. I want to see
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 2: more nice things. And I get it, I get it.
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 2: I'm a wimpy gen x er, you know. No one
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 2: should listen to me. It would be a first time
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 2: for everything if someone did listen to a gen X
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 2: er for a change. But I'm okay, I.
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: Didn't say any of that stuff about it.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, you didn't at all. I'm just saying, like, ok,
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 2: gen X in general is like the overlook generation. It's
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 2: all boomers and millennials who never hear about gen X. Yeah.
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 1: I guess I hear about gen X a lot or
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: I have in my lifetime, but maybe I pay more attention.
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 2: You're also friends with people who are slightly older than you.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: That is true. Next, we have a teaser for the
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: Netflix Pride and Prejudice.
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't even know this was going to be
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 2: another thing, Like I didn't know that Prime Prejudice was
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 2: going to be adapted into yet another series. I'm like,
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 2: what the Colin Firth one. I'm like, no, those in
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 2: the nineties Ancient Dinosaur. This is a new one.
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 1: This is one of those things that we talked about
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: in thirty seconds or.
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 2: Less and went, yeah, So Emma corn is playing Elizabeth,
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 2: Jack Loudon is mister Darcy, Olivia Coleman is Missus Bennett,
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 2: and Rufus Sewell is mister Bennett in this.
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't get to see half of them in
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: the trailer.
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 2: It still is a teacher. Yeah, yeah, it makes it
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 2: look like it's a little more it's laying a little
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 2: harder on the romantic longing aspect. Not that that's a
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 2: bad thing. Like I don't feel like this is going
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 2: full weathering heights, Like it's not triggering me to the
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 2: point where I'm like, this is clearly not actually an adaptation.
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: The repression is what makes Pride and Prejudice. So yeah, yeah,
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: so I like Pride and Prejudice. I will give this
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: a shot.
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't write down when this comes out, so
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 2: I apologize. I did not check that. Are you gonna
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 2: look for me Aeriel while I can you look for
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 2: the release date for Pride and Prejudice? Because I like
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 2: I like the Austin stuff, you know, I like I
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 2: like these stories. I think that they're very witty and
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 2: they have a lot of insight, so I enjoy them
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 2: as well. Fall Fall, It just is fall. Yeah, all right,
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 2: Either that or it's just telling me that I'm gonna
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 2: trip in a minute, we'll see.
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: That's telling me I'm going trip. I'm the one who
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: looked it up. Geez, thanks John.
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 2: Sorry, Well, at least next time we can now talk
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 2: about a movie about a guy who has a real
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 2: problem making a decision.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, another bad romance guy ga Tomato sauce. So we
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: had we had seen a teaser for this. It is Hamlet,
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: done I think by the BBC, and it's a primarily
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: Indian cast Pakistani Pakistani. Sorry, there's some Bollywood looking stuff
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: in there.
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, there's there's definitely some elements drawn from Bollywood
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 2: as well. But it's set it's Hamlet, but it's set
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 2: in modern day London. So this is not Denmark. It's
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 2: not you know, else, nor Castle or anything like that.
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 2: But it is the the story of Hamlet told with
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 2: a new approach and visuals and things like that. And
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I thought it looked I thought it
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 2: looked really interesting. Hamlet is my favorite of the tragedies,
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 2: and I have like very strong feeling about that play,
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 2: and I have very strong feelings about adaptations of that play,
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 2: and this one is intriguing to me.
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: Same same we did talk about the teaser when it
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: came out. I don't know if you're mem.
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 2: I do remember that because I remember when the teaser
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 2: came out, because I remember one of the things we
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 2: mentioned was that at the time there were some very
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 2: distressing and racist comments left under the teaser. I will
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 2: say that, at least for the trailer that that I
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 2: selected the link I selected, that the most of the
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 2: comments that I saw thankfully did not follow suit.
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, but this trailer does show us more of
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: like the beat by beat of the actual story of
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 1: Hamlet and every moment of it that they handle in
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: a unique way. I love, I am I have been
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: over Hamleted in my life, but I am super for this.
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 2: I like that he is doing the two be or
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 2: not to be speech while behind the wheel of a
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 2: car and contemplating driving into oncoming traffic. Like I'm like,
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 2: if you want a visceral depiction of Hamlet in his
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 2: existential crisis where he is contemplating taking his own life,
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 2: this very much shows that that's what he's saying, because
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of people have heard the words
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 2: and have no context as to what Hamlet is actually saying. Yeah,
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 2: they've all heard two b or not to be that
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 2: is the question, but they don't understand what it is
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 2: Hamlet's actually trying to process and what he's what he
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 2: is saying is is it better to be alive and
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 2: to endure all of the troubles that life throws at you,
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 2: or is it better to end your life without knowing
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 2: what actually comes next?
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's a you know, it is a super
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: fun and difficult monologue to jump into.
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I love doing that monologue. I think about every
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 2: five or ten years, I do a video of myself
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 2: doing that monologue just for my own purposes, and I
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 2: change how I do it every time, and it really
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 2: shows that as you age and get a different appreciation,
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 2: which is ironic because Hamlet's a young man in the play.
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 2: But as I get much too old to play Hamlet,
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 2: I have a different take on how I would do
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 2: that speech. At best, I could manage a Polonius or
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 2: Claudius these days.
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it depends on the rest of the casting,
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: for sure. I mean I think it would be great
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: to have a gen X overlooked Hamlet.
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 2: This version, though, comes out April tenth, it's already been
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 2: out in the UK. I should have looked to see
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 2: how it's been received so far, because I don't know
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 2: what the reviews have been, but it does come to
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 2: here the United States in April.
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing it in April when
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 1: it comes over here. Get over here. When it gets
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 1: over here, there we go.
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 2: I found that's great, a fantastic segue, because obviously the
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 2: only way to follow up Hamlet is.
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: With Mortal combat. I mean, he is trying to shuffle
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: off his mortal coils.
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 2: So it's true. That's true. That's in that speech. Uh yeah,
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 2: so Mortal Kombat too. We talked about, you know, we
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 2: got an earlier, shorter trailer a while back, we got
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 2: a longer one, very much Johnny Cage centric.
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 1: Well, when you cast Carl Urban, you have to Yeah.
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 2: Well, let me ask you something. Did you notice something
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 2: that I noticed that was in very short supply in
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 2: this trailer. There's a there's a character from the first
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 2: movie who plays a pretty pivotal role, you might even
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 2: call him the protagonist. And he he shows up in
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 2: a blink and you miss it moment in this trailer
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 2: and other is not in it at all.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: I thought he gave like one line and then showed
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 1: up in the background in another moment.
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 2: In the first trailer, he showed up and I think
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 2: three different little sequences and this one he's in one
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 2: where he appears to be sparring with Lou Kang, but
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 2: it's it's it's Cole Young, the protagonist that was created
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 2: for the original Mortal Kombat. In this one he's barely
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 2: in it at all, which is got some fans speculating
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 2: that Cole Young is not long for this Mortal coil.
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, which is sad because I like the actor who
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 1: plays him, Lewis Tan. But yeah, just the story feels
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 1: so pretentious to say it, but the story in the
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 1: first New Mortal Kombat movie just felt like it was
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 1: trying way too hard to be way too many things.
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 1: I agree I needed to be was a fight movie.
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 2: I feel sad for him because it's not his fault
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 2: that you know. Like I thought, it was a weird
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 2: choice to go with a new unknown character to be
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 2: the protagonist for Mortal Kombat when the last movie came out,
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 2: And honestly, I think it would have done better had
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 2: we been following anyone else, like lu Kang or Kano
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 2: or something, or not Kano but lu Kang's cousin or whatever.
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: But yeah, especially when you start off the entire movie
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 1: with the eternal feud between some zero and Scorpion, and
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 1: it's so amazing.
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they do. They do tag it to
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 2: Cole Young as being like the descendant of Scorpion. But still, yeah,
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 2: I I feel weird that they kind of sidelined that character,
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 2: Like it almost feels like this is It's Mortal Kombat too,
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 2: but it kind of feels like moratl Kombat one point
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 2: five where they're saying just ignore and we're kind of
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 2: start over here. That being said, I'll say this, the
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 2: action sequences in the trailer look like they're pretty kinetic
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 2: and fun and well choreographed.
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah. This, this trailer looks closer to what I loved
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: about the original Moral Combat movie. Yeah. I loved I
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: love the actors. It just the plot was trying to
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 1: be too plotty. Yeah, uh yeah, it should have taken
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 1: like the Street the Street Fighter trailer. Method of just knowing.
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 2: What it was for me was Tuesday. Uh yeah. This
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 2: this movie comes out on May eighth. I think it
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 2: looks like it's going to be entertaining. It's just one
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 2: of those things where I feel like, oh, maybe this
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 2: is even the filmmaker saying our first film didn't quite
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 2: reach the heights we were hoping for, so we're kind
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 2: of doing a new one with Johnny Cage as the
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 2: audience insert slash protagonist.
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch it because I want to love it,
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 1: knowing that I can fall back on the New Street
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 1: Fighter if.
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 2: Not, I will say I identified with one part of
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 2: it where we see Johnny Cage clearly at a fan
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 2: convention sitting in the Hall of Fame, just waiting for
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 2: people to come up and talk to them. Because both
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 2: you and I have bid to Dragon con numerous times,
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 2: we know what that's like.
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, And for my over sympathetic heart, it is
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 1: so hard to walk through the Walk of.
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 2: Fame, yeah, or the or the human Zoo as read
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 2: letter media calls it. Yeah.
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 1: Well, and also see people who are just sitting at
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 1: a table completely alone, because I want to go up
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 1: and talk to them, but then my social anxiety is.
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 2: Like, yeah, you get You'll see certain people get like
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 2: this huge line and then like two tables over there's
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 2: just someone just kind of sitting there waiting for the
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 2: time to pass, and you're like, oh that sucks.
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Show love to those actors if you
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 1: see them and you enjoy their work. Yeah, even a
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 1: little conversation. Also, you know what you can find at
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 1: Dragon Con legos and Batman's. I was going to say
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 1: so many Batman's.
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 2: That's true. You can find way more Batman's than legos, hopefully, but.
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you can find a Lego Batman cosplay.
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And the reason you bring this up is why.
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 1: Because we got a cinematic trailer from Lego Batman Legacy
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 1: of the Dark Knight, which I think is a game,
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 1: not a movie.
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a video Lego Batman movie. Yeah, but the
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 2: cinematic is a recreation, not totally faithful, but pretty close,
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 2: a recreation of the scene from Tim Burton's Batman movie
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 2: where the Joker and his gang break into an art
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 2: museum in order for the Joker to menace Vicky Vale.
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 2: And it's set to what was my favorite song in
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 2: the original Batman soundtrack. I'm not saying it's a good song.
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 2: I'm saying it's my favorite party Man. By now, if
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 2: you don't remember, Prince did the whole like soundtrack for Batman,
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 2: the first Batman movie and bat Dance, I don't think
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 2: is a good song at all. And party Man, I'm
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 2: not sure is a good song, but I love it
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 2: so much.
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 1: It is a fun little trailer. I haven't played a
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 1: Lego Anything game. I think it played like Lego Star
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 1: Wars a long time ago and got stuck. But yeah,
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 1: I'm not.
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 2: It's they're deceptively difficult, like the the initial play, like
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 2: playing through one is not hard at all, But if
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 2: you want to unlock everything, Holy cow, maybe difficult is
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 2: the wrong word. It can get tedious because you'll be like,
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 2: I'm missing one thing and I can't find it in
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 2: any of these levels, and I know it's just one thing,
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 2: and if I can just track that one thing down,
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 2: I will unlock this thing I've been trying to. And yeah,
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 2: I have thrown my hands up in defeat numerous occasions
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 2: and Lego titles. However, you know the fact that they
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 2: were referencing that the Tim Burton Batman movie so directly
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 2: and playing that kick Butt song, I had to throw
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 2: it in here.
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a lot of fun and a great
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 1: way to cap off our episode. We will put that
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 1: link if you want to watch it and don't want
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 1: to have to try to google it in our show
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 1: notes on our website.
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 2: After this releases, yes, and that's it. Yeah, we're done.
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 2: Aren't you supposed to do like a whole outro thing anymore?
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 1: No, we can. I Jonathan could.
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 2: Swear that last week we did a whole outro thing.
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 1: I think you're in some liminal space where that's not happening. No,
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 1: we will do an outro. So, Jonathan, if people want
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 1: to talk to us about the things that we talked
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 1: about this episode, and they want to talk to you specifically,
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 1: how do they do that?
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 2: Well, they do have to track me down in a
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 2: liminal space. But here's the thing. It's called the front rooms.
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 2: So you got to find the front rooms, which just
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 2: look like a Starbucks. And I'm over in the corner,
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 2: and I mean, you can buy me a coffee too.
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 2: I always appreciate that it's not necessary, but if you know,
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 2: it'd be nice. But yeah, you can find me in
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 2: the front rooms, which will look like a Starbucks. Honestly,
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 2: what's weird looks like a Starbucks in Kansas City. And
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to tell you which one, but one
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 2: of the two Kansas cities, it's a Starbucks there. And
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 2: if you can just find me in the corner, you
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 2: can ask me your question. I'll be glad to answer.
• 1:37:39
