  Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, Welcome to the Largener, Drunk Lighter podcast, the
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: podcast that's all about the geeky things happening in the
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: world around us and how exciting we are about them.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: I'm Ariel cast In. I've got a burp and with
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: me as always is the gonna cover it.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Jonathan Strickland, you don't know how it feels to be me.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know how it feels to be you, only
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: only what you've told me.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we've We were talking before recording about karaoke and
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: I was joking about singing that particular song, which is
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: a Tom Petty song. Doesn't matter. We're gonna talk about
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: geeky things now, and none of them, none of them,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: as far as I know, relate to Tom Petty, but
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: they do relate to us. And that includes stuff what
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: we have done since the last recording that falls into
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: geek territory. And Ariel says, here, you watched our sun
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: get devoured in the sky, Yes.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: But only very poorly. I didn't actually have glasses, and
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: technically the fullness of the eclipse in Atlanta, Georgia hit
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: at a time when I had already started work. But
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: I did watch it. That's probably the geekiest thing I
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: watched all week.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I went outside at around two forty to forty five,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: which was about fifteen minutes before we got to a
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: little bit more than fifteen minutes before we got to
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: the fullness that we would get, which was around eighty percent,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: so we kind of got like crescent moon kind of
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: status with the sun and sat outside on a little
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: lawn chair and watched it. I did have some eclipse glasses,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: so I was able to watch the whole thing. Liked it.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: It was great. It was obviously not nearly as impressive
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: as the totality we got in twenty seventeen, but it
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: was still cool to watch. And my partner was up
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: in Erie, Pennsylvania seeing it. In totality, that was pretty
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: much the only geeky thing you watched was the eclipse.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: We're doing, so I've talked about my friend's watch party
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: that we do. We've been doing weekly since the pandemic,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: and it looks like it might be coming to an
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: end because I don't know if I talked about this
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: last week, stop me. If I did. Amazon at first
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: rolled out there. You have to pay a little bit
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: more if you don't want ads in our streaming service,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: which yeah, whatever, I mean, wasn't super happy about it,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: but I also am like, I'll just deal with the ads.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: And then they made it so that you could only
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: start our host to watch Party if you bought the
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: without Ads service. Now it's not very expensive to upgrade,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: so we had a couple of friends who did. Now
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: neither of those friends can start watch Party. It looks
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: like without this has kind of been in the news,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: so you probably already know about it. Without really any warning,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: they've gotten rid of that capability. We knew they were
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: getting rid of it on Twitch, but they haven't really
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: been like, oh, we're getting rid of watch Party altogether.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: And so my friends who bought the no ad service
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: to help us watch the watch Party are a little frustrated,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: and we tried to go to teleparty, but teleparty is
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: not suited to deal with everybody getting ads at different
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: times and some people not having ads, and everybody's trying
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: to figure out what's wrong, when really it's just paused
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: because one person's watching an AD, and then everybody else
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: is trying to start it again, and it just gets
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: very frustrating.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: So got it.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: We're finishing up boxmak Kinna. We'll probably tomorrow do something
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: where we all put it on Amazon and on Discord
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: go three two one, start and then just talk about
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: it at the end.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: It's like watching tracks, yeah, yeah, the old Riff tracks
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: where you would just get the audio file and it
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: would q you when to start the movie with audio
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: file and.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, pretty much. But I don't know if we're
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: going to continue trying to do that afterwards. I'm fine
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: with it. At least one of my very good friends
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: who attends it does that on the regular because teleparty
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: doesn't work for them. But we will see, and I guess.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: During lunch today, I was watching the latest episode of
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Fantasy High junior year for me.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: I watched all of Fallout last night, all approximately, well,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: it's definitely more than seven hours. I don't know if
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: it's all the way up to eight, but I watched
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: the whole thing, yeah, eight episodes. Some of the episodes
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: are not an hour long, some of them are closer
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: to like thirty five to forty minutes, but most of
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: them are right around an hour or so. And I
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: watched the whole thing start to finish, and I have
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: lots of thoughts on it mostly positive. I liked the show.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: I thought the set design and the costume design was
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: out of this world. I thought those designs were phenomenal.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: I was surprised at the amount of gore, although I
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: shouldn't have been, considering that Fallout even has a perk
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: you can get that makes everything gorrier, like people explode
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: when you shoot them and stuff. But there was quite
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: a bit of gore that I was kind of surprised by.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: And while there was humor, I didn't feel like there
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: was as much humor in the series as there happens
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: to be in the games, and that it takes a
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: while for the humor to really start coming through, Like
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: there's some very dry humor in the first two episodes,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: but the weird stuff doesn't start coming in until later.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: That's unfortunate because the trailer sure made it look like
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: it was going to be I mean, dark but also
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: a comedy kind of.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: To me, yeah, I mean it was. It was entertaining.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: They did use a lot of the music from the games,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: so a lot of the songs like that you would
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: hear on the radio station in the games, A lot
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: of those were songs that were used. They used most
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: of those up by the first like five episodes, though,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: so by the last three episodes, I'm like, oh, well,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: this is a song that's from that era and it's
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: in that kind of style, but it's not one that
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: I recognized from one of the games, but they use
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: like the By that time, around the episode five or six,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: I started noticing the actual score from the game making
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: its way into the show, and I didn't notice it
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: in the early episodes, So that was interesting. And the
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: only thing that I'm not going to give any spoilers
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: I think I can't even really talk about the plot
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: because the plot, like early on, there's a spoiler that
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: is kind of the important element for the whole plot,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: so I'm not going to talk about that. I'll say
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: that it was very Fallout ish. There were a couple
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: of specific references to things that have appeared in Fallout games,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: beyond like general ideas, right like beyond certain factions or
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: certain kinds of monsters, whatever. One character from an actual
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Fallout game has a cameo in the series, which I
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: thought was cool. And then a really important location in
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: one of the Fallout games is hinted at at the
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: very end of the final episode, and that was cool.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: So I really liked the fact that it was a
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: show that catered to fans of the series. Like, if
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: you were a fan of the series, you're like, oh, well,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: this isn't retelling one of the games. It's a new story,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: but it very much feels like it's set in that world.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Do you need to be familiar with those references to
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: enjoy the show? Because as I have said before, i've
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: played Fallout. I spent hours making my character and then
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: could not get out of the bunker because cockroaches kept
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: killing me. That's comedy, you guys, But that's the amount
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: of Fallout references that I understand.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Clearly, you need to work on your VATS training because
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: VATS will get you out of pretty much any fight
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: because you don't have to do it manually. If you
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: use VATS, it's way easier.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: But remember what VATS is.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: That's it's kind of like bullet time in a way.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: It lets you, it lets you specifically target a monster
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: in particular parts, and it freezes everything. It pauses everything,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: so you're not you're not shooting in real time.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I tried to do that. I tried to do that.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: If I recall correctly, I use that, and that's how
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: I get through all of the Mass Effect games that
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: allow me to do it. I don't remember if all
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: of them allowed me to do it, but I played
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: all the Mass Effect games, and it's largely by freezing, aiming,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: and going, and sometimes it's by like pausing the game
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: because I can't freeze it, just to see where it is,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: and then unpausing and aiming and then pausing again making
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: sure it's right, unpausing shooting because I'm really bad at that.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: I've gotten better, I'm still not great at it. But
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: the thing is, the conquages were so fast and I
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: couldn't find my way out, and they kept responding, and
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: like I'd shoot one in fat time, the other one
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: will just s gray up and kill me. I hated it.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'm sorry you had such a frustrating experience.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: But No, to answer your original question, you do not
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: have to have played the games to really understand, because
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: they introduce tons of concepts and character not characters, but
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: like organizations and stuff that are intrinsic to the games,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: But they do so in a way where you understand
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: what they are just in the series. You don't need
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: to have played the games, so like Vault Tech is
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: a great example. Vault Tech is the company that made
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: the Vaults. Obviously that company plays a huge part in
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: the story of this series, but they do a really
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: good job of introducing what Voltech is, in fact, more
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: so than I would argue some of the games due
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: so they also answer some really big questions that have
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: been open questions in the Fallout game community. So if
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: you take the series as cannon, they actually solve one
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: of the longest standing mysteries of the Fallout universe. Again,
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: no spoilers, I don't want to spoil anything for anyone,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: but I really appreciated that. So while I had some
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: issues with the tone and I had some issues with
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: the appearance of and nature of humor, sometimes it felt
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: like it just really was out of place, but then
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: that can happen in the games too, overall, I thought
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: the series was an incredible achievement. Nice.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Nice, Oh I did forget one geeky thing I did.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: I've been playing beats. I don't know if I was
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: doing that last week.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: You were, Yeah, you had started playing it last week,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: I remember, So are you enjoying Beatsaber.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: I am. I've kind of gotten off of the campaign
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: mode and I'm just playing solo play now, and I
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: like some of the songs. There's a Lindsay Sterling song
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: that's just really a lot of fun to play, and
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: it's very zenny. And if you put the Dragon Force
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: song on like normal, it's and then you also put
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: yourself on no fail mode it's pretty good, which is
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: actually what one of like the commentators on how to
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: play Beat Saber better said was like, put a song
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: on a difficulty, put it on no fail, and go
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: through it because you won't. That way, you'll learn the
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: song and you'll get better at it. If you don't
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: get through the song the first time, you're not going
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: to know what's happening. Right, So I don't know. I'm
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: enjoying it. Yeah, I need to buy. We got it
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: on Steam specifically so we could get some like fan
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: made songs like ductails and stuff. So we gotta set up.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: But right, yeah, I've seen I've seen videos on YouTube
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: of people playing Beat Saber and they're playing songs where
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: I'm like, oh wow, did they license that song? That's incredible?
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: And then I looked into like, oh no, that was
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: a mod that they did where they were able to
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: take other songs and then create beat Saber like like
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: the Courses or whatever with that music. Oh that's really cool.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: I realized that that the mod the motters are walking
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: a fine line, because that's a licensing nightmare if you're
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: the company behind Beatsaber.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I also plan on buying. They do have
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: a lot of fun songs impacts that you can buy
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: through Beatsaber, just like with Guitar Hero Rock Band or whatnot.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: So I do plan on getting those as well. But
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: there's just like one or two songs. I was like,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: if if beat Saber had this song, I would buy
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: it from beat Saber.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Totally, totally no I And there's no judgment here because
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: goodness knows, like I've had so many where there's some
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: form of media that I would love to have access
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: to but there was like no legal way to do
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: it in the United States, and I would sit there
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: and say, do I do an ill illegal access and
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: then just get My goal is to pay for it
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: as soon as it's legally available, or do I just
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: go without? And I'm not ashamed to say that occasionally
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: I've engaged in a little shady skull duggery in order
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: to watch or access something that I really wanted.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: I generally, you know we've talked about I generally say
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: pay for your media, right but if it's something that
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: you need to pay for obviously, like you're listening to us,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: and you can just do that because out of the
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: goodness of our hearts right now, but not the goodness
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: our hearts always. But you know, I have like when
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: I was paying for BBC specifically as a channel, I'd
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: watch Doctor Who, and then my friend had like the
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: extended version that you could get in the UK but
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: not here, so occasionally I would watch that. I think
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: that's not as much of a thing anymore now.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: For me, it was things like so the thing that
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: I always think about, Well, there's two Battle Royale, which was,
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: you know, a Japanese thriller kind of horror movie about
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: a bunch of kids forced to fight each other to
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: the death. It's really grim. For a long time, was
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: not available in the United States at all, Like it
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: was just you couldn't get it, And so I got
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: a bootleg copy of that so I could watch it,
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: and then as soon as it became available in the
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: United States, I went ahead and bought the DVD. And
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: another example is the Mitchell and weblook because it was
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: available on Netflix for a while, but then the licensing
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: expired and it went away and I could not get
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: an American version of it, like it just didn't exist,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: and so I ended up watching episodes on YouTube for
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: a while until I was finally able to buy British
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: versions of the DVD, and then I bought a region
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: free DVD player so that I could, because otherwise, you know,
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: it wouldn't work because the regions are different. So, like,
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: I get really frustrated when media companies don't make it
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: easy to access stuff legally, because that's what really encourages piracy.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying piracy is right. I'm saying that it's
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: totally understandable if you really want access to something and companies,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: for whatever reason just do not make it available, and
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: if you're willing to pay for it and you still can't,
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: then a lot of people will take that extra step
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: to pirate it. And while it's not right, I do
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: understand it.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, speaking of monopolies, let's get to our thirty
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: seconds and less.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because we got a whole bunch of them, and
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: we've got some news stories to go through, and then
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: it is the return of a long lost friend to
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: the show. That being mash ups. Yes, folks, we will
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: have mash ups at the end of this episode. So
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: that's something for you to either look forward to our dread.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: But in order to get there, we got to do
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: some thirty seconds or less. And I think Ariel Europe first.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, And I kind of alluded to what I
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: was going to talk about. Margot Robbie, with her company
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Lucky chap is producing Monopoly, the board game.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: The movie.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: She's working with Hasbro to do it. You know, we've
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: had a will they won't they relationship with a Monopoly
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: movie in a big while I personally don't think that
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: she can beat the last Monopoly movie. I watched the
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Big Short, but if it's as good as Barbie, I
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: will give it a watch.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Well, she was in the Big Short, so you know,
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: maybe she'll bring some of that energy over. Although if
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: she spends the entire film of Monopoly in a bubble
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: bath with Champagne, they're gonna sell a billion tickets. So
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: all right, for those of y'all out there, itchin for
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: a John Snow spin off a game of Thrones. I've
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: got some bad news. Kit Harrington and played Snow and
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: the TV series says the project is now quote off
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: the table, end quote and essentially dead in the water.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: As for the reason, Harryton says that the development team
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: could never find the right story to tell, which is
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: weird because I thought it was obvious. I mean, Snow
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: goes to kindergarten, so he can finally know something.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: That's funny. He is in Henry the Fifth for with
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: National Theater. If you've got that subscription and you want
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: to watch him know something. This one is really short.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: I'm not really gonna say a lot on it. Jonathan
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Major's did finally get sentenced for the accusations of domestic
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: abuse that had been filed against him. He doesn't have
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: jail time, but he does have a year long in
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: person domestic violence counseling program that he needs to complete.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: And then Grace Schabari, his ex girlfriend, does have a
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: protection order sanity. So it looks like this chapter of
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: everything is coming to a close.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: Yep. Then it'll truly come to a close when we
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: find out whatever the heck Marvel is doing in the
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: wake of all that. Okay, many years ago, Arnold Schwarzenegger
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: starred in a very very loose adaptation of Stephen King's
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: The Running Man, and it barely resembled the source material.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: And currently, Edgar Wright, the genius find films like Sean
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: of the Dead and Baby Driver, is going to direct
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: a new adaptation, and Glenn Powell, whom I know as
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Trader Number one in the Dark Knight Rises, is starring
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: in it. Right co wrote the script. So I'm hoping
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: that there's going to be a cornetto cameo in the
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: new film.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Interesting, I do like Edgar Wright. Okay, Prince of Persia
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: is getting a new game. This time it's being developed
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: by the Dead Stells studio Evil Empire. I said that
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: Poorley Dead Cells if you couldn't understand me the first time.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: It's got a really cool kind of not quite but
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: almost Samurai Jack feel to it. It's two The trailer
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: at least makes it look like a true two D platformer.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: It looks pretty cool. Yeah.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: I love that series and I love every different iteration
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: they've done, So that's cool. All right. Well, I remember
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: watching the Blair Witch Project back in nineteen ninety nine
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: and being thoroughly creeped out. Not from the movie, but
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: there was this guy sitting two seats down for me
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: who took his shoes off at the movie theater. Anyway,
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: there have been a few attempts to turn the film
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: into a franchise or to reboot the whole thing, and
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: now we're doing it again. Lionsgate and Blumhouse will produce
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: the film. No word yet if it will be a
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: found footage film or a more standard movie. I'm so scared.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: I never watched that. And also, I did not take
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: my shoes off near you. I wouldn't do that to
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: poor people in a theater. Fumi games unfailed their trailer
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: for their game Mouse, which features a steamboat willis kiro.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: It feels very cuphead. It's a first person shooter. The
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: weirdest thing to me is that while the character has
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: many mouse powers, it also has a pop eye power
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: in that it can eat, power up, spinach, and get stronger.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: So it's an interesting mix of old ip.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, why worry about logic when you don't have
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: to pay for anything? So if you missed seeing Dune
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Doom Akaa Dune Part two in the theaters, don't worry.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: We now know when it's coming to your home if
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: you want it to. Starting April sixteenth, the day after
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: your taxes are due here in the United States, you
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: can rent or purchase the film digitally. If you prefer
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: physical media, then you just have to wait until May
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: fourteenth to get it on Blu ray or DVD. There
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: will be lots of special material for those formats of league,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: tons of behind the scenes footage and who knows, maybe
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: some sand.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: I like sand.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: You know, it makes you different from Anakin Skywalker.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, hopefully it will keep me from getting burned
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: in lava. So David Lynch, you know, wants to make
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: a children's cartoon called The Snoots Snoop World. It's called
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Snoop World, and Netflix said, no, we don't want it.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Lynch thinks it's because the story is kind of more
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: old fashioned fairy tale esque where the jokes aren't right
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: at the top of it, which who knows what that means.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: You could interpret that a thousand different ways, but I
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: will just read the plot of the film as Lynch
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: describes it. According to Collider dot com, it takes my
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: breath away, HOWACKI it is. The Snoots are these tiny
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: creatures who have a ritual transition at age eight, at
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: which time they get tinier and they are sent away
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: for a year so they are protected. The world goes
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: into chaos when the snoot hero of the story disappears
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: into the carpet and his family can't find him, and
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: he enters a crazy, magnificent world feels vaguely Doctor Susian.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I the I re arranged their thirty seconds
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: or less so that Ariel would have to talk about
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: David lynch animated film after Dune, because you know, Lynch
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: once directed a version of Doune.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: I liked that.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: You like that version? Oh, some people really do, and
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: there's nothing wrong with that is very weird statements in.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: It, maybe not in its entirety, but I liked it.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: So yeah, all right. Well, once upon a time there
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: was a Nintendo switch emulator called Yuzu, and u Zu
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: would let you play switch games without a switch, among
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: other things. But Nintendo sued Uzo off the face of
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: the Earth, and two other emulators called sue U and
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: Sudaci have been exiled from Discord and their lead developers
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: have had their Discord accounts disabled. One does not threaten
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: the IP dominance of Nintendo, it would seem wow.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: And lastly, as I said, I'm watching Legend of Vox Macina.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: We are currently in season two or two episode episodes
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: away from the end of season two. I've seen it before,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: but we'll watching again. We have no actual word when
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: season three is going to come out, just that it's
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: really really good according to Liam O'Brien. However, if you
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: are Jones and for your Voxmachina fix. In the meantime,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: they have come out with a vinyl of the soundtrack
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: from season two. The discs are really pretty their gold
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: with some purple in there, and they have some cool
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: artwork in the bifold trifle whatever it is, the thingy
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: that holds the vinyl disc. So if you got a
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: record player and you like Vox Macina and that venn
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: diagram of geek, enjoy.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: All right, and that's our thirty seconds or less. Now
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: we can talk about trailer.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, most of which are not really for me,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: and a couple of them might be on the verge
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: of not kid friendly, just as a fore warning.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, we do, we do horror movie trailers all
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: the time, but this time. Yeah, there's there's one in particular,
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: that's about an industry that is definitely not kid friendly.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: But maybe I shouldn't give that warning. Just sometimes it's
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: less that I never It's not that I don't always
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: think we need it. It's just sometimes I forget.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: But we'll start with one that is less salacious, and
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: that is Fly Me to the Moon, which is an
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: upcoming comedy film about NASA and the Space race and
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: the Moon landing, and it follows a PR expert who's
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: brought and to kind of hush up NASA's public image
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: in order to get the American public to really buy
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: into the moon landing. And it stars Scarjoe and.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Also Tating Channing Tatum I think is correct. I actually
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: really like him. I think he's a he's got amazing
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: comedic timing, and he's also a very sincere actor. So
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: I just there was a spoof on his name once
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: in a bit on a late night TV show, and
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: now my brain always second guesses it when I say it.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: It's kind of like Benedict Benedict cumber Batch, Like for
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: the longest time, no one would say his name correctly,
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: and until it got to a point where that joke
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: was so overused that only old people like me still
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: do it.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I think the trailer for fly Me Through
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: the Moon looks delightful. I liked Hidden Figures, which is
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: certainly a much more poignant story. Yes, then, I mean
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: to the Moon is where the problem is. Hey, the
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: people who are working on the moon landing are not charismatic,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: and we need to hire pretend people to be them.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then even fake the moon landing itself like
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: that as a backup in case the actual moon landing
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: doesn't happen or doesn't go well. They've got the studio
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: made version of the moon landing, which obviously that's been
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: like a conspiracy forever, and they even make a Stanley
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: Kubrick joke about it, because Kubrick at one point was
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: rumored to have actually overseen the filming of a fake
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: moon landing. This case, we don't get Stanley Kubrick. We
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: get Jim Rash, which I'm all for because I was.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: I loved him on Community, so.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's super funny. This looks cute. It looks like
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: it would be just a fun, easy way to spend
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: an afternoon.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, this doesn't look like it's a real thinker,
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: but it might be entertaining and diverting, they might say,
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: Whereas our next trailer, which is for a film called
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: Crazy House, feels like it doesn't quite know what the
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: film is. This is a movie starring Nick Frost, and
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: the way it starts off is it starts off like
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: it's a sitcom. It maybe think of too many cooks, honestly,
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: if I'm gonna compare it to anything, but it looks
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: like a sitcom. And then it unfolds that the sitcom
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: is not what is actual reality, I guess, and instead
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: it's like some sort of home invasion thing and things
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: escalate from there, and I don't really know what to
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: think of it.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I like Nick Frost, and I like the idea
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: of I mean, it's not completely undone, it's been done
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: well and poorly, the idea of being in a pretend
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: world to escape from the reality happening. The worst example
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: I've seen of that is Sucker Punch, but no offense.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: If you like sucker Punch out there and you're listening,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: I'm glad for you.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: It was not for me.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know it just it didn't grab me. I'm
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: touchy on religious humor in general, and it just didn't
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: feel very clever to me. I did like a joke
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: where Nick Frost mentioned Santa Claus because he has played
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Santa Claus and Doctor Who. So that was the highlight
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: of the trailer for me.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: It made me think of a series. I don't know
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: how many people actually watched this, and I'm gonna have
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: to censor myself because the title of the series has
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: an explotive, but Kevin can bleep himself. And in that series,
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: it was a really weird decision. They made cool like
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: it they'd made it on purpose, but it was a
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: weird decision where from one character's perspective, the show is
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: presented like a multi camera sitcom, and from a different
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: characters perspective, it's presented as a single camera drama, and
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: so it shifts back and forth between these two different
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: totally different perspectives and tones and styles to tell these
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: different stories. And that's kind of what the beginning of
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: Crazy House made me think, because it looked like it
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: was playing with that perception deal. But I don't actually
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: know what's going on, Like I don't know if in
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: the context of the film itself, it's supposed to be
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: a show, or if like a character just imagines their
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: life like a show. I don't know.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I do feel like we won't do it.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: But I feel like in talking about not knowing what's
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: real and what's not, we should be talking about joker
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: Folia dude. Next, but well that's three away.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: We will get there. Yeah, Instead next, what we're going
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: to talk about, So, Ty West is a filmmaker who
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: is from Atlanta. In fact, a lot of the people, yeah,
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: a lot of people I know have worked with Ty
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: West on various projects. But Ty West has a trilogy
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: of films that started with a movie called X and
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: then the second film was a film called Pearl, And
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: now we're getting the third of those films called Maxine
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: and it's max scene with three x's, which should be
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: the indication that this is the very much not kid
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: friendly portion of the discussion we're having. But she a
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: it's a character who has wanted to be a star,
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: wanted to be famous, and she does through the venue
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: of adult entertainment and looks like there's like a stalker
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: element to it. So this looks like a like a
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: slasher slash stalker kind of horror thriller film, and it
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: looks extremely atmospheric, which ty West is known for. Ty
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: West is like, if there there's one thing I can
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: say about his films that is consistently impressive, it's that
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: he's very good at creating a specific feel for each
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: of his movies.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: I don't think I've seen a Tye West movie before. Honestly,
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: I was confusing X with Triple X, and I didn't
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: know Pearl was related at all. And I kind of
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: thought that Maxine was the female reboot of Triple X.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: No, none of those.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: Until I watched the trailer.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Vin Diesel does not show up in any of these movies.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: He does not play some sort of crazy James Bond
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: esque spy in any of these films. For people who
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: want to check out Tye West movies and you want
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: to know a good place to start, I would say,
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, it depends on how patient you are, because
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: you need to like movies that have very slow pacing,
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: which I do like. I like movies that are very
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: deliberately paced, not slow, but they're deliberate. And House of
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: the Devil and The Innkeepers are both very good, but
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: they're all They're both also very deliberate and slow paced,
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: and so like I could see like modern hot horror
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: audiences who are more used to things like jump scares
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: and stuff not being entertained by these movies because that's
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: not the kind of films they are. But if you
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: like really atmospheric stories that slowly crank up tension, I
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: think those are great films to start with. The X
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: and Pearl and Maxine films. At least X and Pearl,
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: I can tell you that ratchets things up significantly, So
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: maybe start with Innkeepers or House of the Devil.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: Gotcha? Is Maxine supposed to be a horror It kind
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: of looked like true detective met pulp fiction to me.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: I honestly, I don't know. It could be that they
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: make it more of a thriller than a horror city
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: or something, because like, but I can tell you this,
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: X and Pearl both well. X certainly is a horror
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: movie that's done in the slasher style, but there's a
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: twist to it. Pearl is kind of a film about psychosis.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: I would argue Pearl focuses on a character who was
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: in X, but it's it's a it's essentially a prequel.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: It happens like fifty years before X does, and uh,
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: they're brilliant movies in their own way. But yeah, it's uh,
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: it's definitely for people who are big into horror and
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: they're they're big into storytelling in horror, not like the
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: jump scare style horror. And I'm not saying there's anything
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: wrong with jump scare horror, by the way, there's some
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: I love some of those movies, but that's not what
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: these are.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: My favorite kind of horror. I guess it's not even horror.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: It's more like psychological thriller or suspense.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: Well, you also like monster movies.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: I do, but I don't. I wouldn't consider and maybe
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: I'm just misremembering, but like Bram Stoker's Dracula was neither
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: jump scares nor to gory for me, Frankenstein was not
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: like the really old like creature from the Black Lagoon.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Maybe had a couple jump scares, but again they weren't
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: super gory, they weren't super jump scary.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just think of them. I just think of
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: those as sort of a subgenre under Like, I think
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: horror is a pretty big genre and there's lots of
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: little subgenres around under it, and some of them were
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: things like supernatural horror, or you know, you got your
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: slasher horror, you got your thriller type horror films. Thriller
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: can also fall under drama or action. But yeah, I mean,
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: it just kind of it's all how you categorize and
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: organize stuff, and I think it kind of comes down
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: to personal preference. I generally do it the way old
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: school video rental services do it right, like you would
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: go in like, oh, I found Little Shop of Horrors
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: and it was in the horror section when really it
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: should be in comedy. But okay, yeah, yeah, or musicals.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: Comedy and musical don't always go together.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: True, in fact, they often do not.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: So what would you what kind of horror would you
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: categorize our next trailer under? In fact, the trailer is
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: called Under Paris.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: I'd put it under Monster Movies. I said that Under
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: Paris is essentially Jaws goes to France, which is pretty accurate.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: Like the story is that some giant shark has been
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: swimming up the Sand River and it's now essentially in France.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: And of course this is just when there's going to
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: be this big swimming event along the Sand River. And
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: so it really yelled out Jaws to me because Obviously,
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: one of the big plot points and Jaws is the
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: mayor of Amity refuses to shut down the beaches because
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: it's their big summer and they don't want to lose
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: tourist money. I feel like there's almost an identical example
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: here where you've got this big sporting event and even
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: though the people in charge know that there's a predator
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: in the water, they're like their hubris tells them they'll
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: be fine and that they can't afford to cancel this event.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: I'm feeling like that's part of this story. But yeah,
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: there's a The trailer is okay, Like, you know, it
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: doesn't have the janky charm of Jaws, which I honestly
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: worked in that film's favor. These a lot of cgi sharks,
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: But you know, it was one of those things where
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: I was like, I can dig that they are clearly
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: inspired by Jaws. Whether or not anyone ever like admits that,
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but it's obvious to me.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: I feel like the biggest inspiration from Jaws is they
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: show a woman screaming and bleeding in the water, which
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: was the very most frightening part of the original Jaws
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: to me and therefore told me that I probably should
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: not watch under Paris. I watched some scary shark movies,
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: but I like swimming in the ocean too much.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: Also, it's all in French, so either understand French or
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: there are subtitles in the trailer.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, go understand French, you plead I uh uh, jubilarismos,
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: it's not for me. I Jaws is my favorite film
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: of all time. It's my top film. If you it's
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: my number one, I think it's I think it's almost
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: a perfect movie. And the only reason it's almost perfect
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: is because the shark gimmick did not work most days
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: when they were shooting, and it forced them to be
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: very creative with the way that they presented the horror.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: I love this story of Jaws, and I love Jaws
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: in concept, but I do not enjoy watching it. I
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: watched it as an adult in the movie theater on
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: one of those retro nights, and it's still scared the
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: Jesus out of me.
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: So I went to Florida and was staying at a
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: hotel on the beach and they showed it on a
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: floating screen over the ocean.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: That's mean, that's mean, that's uh. Nope, Nope, I would nope,
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: pride out of there. I'd be like, I'm never leaving
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: my hotel room again.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: Well, next up, Finally, after so much teasing, we've been
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: teasing this teaser for the entire episode, Ready to talk
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: about Joker fully? Adieu.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: I thought you said French wasn't for you.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: It's not. I did a terrible job saying that. So.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So I watched this trailer with my husband when
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: it came to Night Amount, and we had very different
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: opinions on it. To me, it kind of almost felt
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: more like a Batman Joker DC movie than the previous
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: one ever seemed to be to me, hmm interesting, which
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: is not very helpful for anybody who hasn't watched the trailer.
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: It's yeah, I mean it's it's a teaser, it's not
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: a full trailer. Uh, but you get you get the
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: character who is the Joker in this version, talking about
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: finding someone so he's no longer alone, and of course
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: he's alluding to Harley Quinn. We get a bit of
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: Lady God God's Harley Quinn. I think her aesthetic works
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: in terms of this version of the Joker. I don't,
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: I don't really I mean it's very different from the
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: Harley quinns we've seen before, but that's not necessarily a
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: bad thing. It's just different.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: And uh yeah, yeah, I mean there is a there
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: is one point where she has a closer to traditional
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: Harley Quinn aesthetic.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, for the most part, she looks quite different. But again,
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: so does Joker, so it's not I just think of
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: them as interpretations on the character. You don't really get
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: that big of an indication about it being a musical.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, there are little indications, they're little hints and stuff,
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: but it doesn't it doesn't fly out at you. It's
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: kind of like in the more recent trend of musicals
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: downplaying the fact that they're musicals.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, there's a moment where Lady Gaga is singing
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: in a choir with other people I guess at Arkham Asylum.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: And then there's a moment where Joker and Harley are
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: dancing on stage. Much like in the first Joker movie,
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: where you spend much of the movie going in and
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: out of reality between what Joker is making up in
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: his head and what is actually happening. It looks like
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: this movie also plays a lot on what is real
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: versus what is imagined.
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and again you know that's understandable. It's a
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: way to try and convey the madness of the Joker
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: as we still are in this era of playing up
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: bad guys whose villainous trait is that they are mentally unwell,
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: like that was a big part of the first Joker film.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: But it does it does create issues, like with the
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: stigma around mental health. So that's but that's a conversation
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: for another time, I guess.
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, but it is interesting because like again, when
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: my husband watched The Joker, he didn't ever view Joaquin
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: Phoenix's character until the very end as a villain. He
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: was the victim, right, and it was the victimization that
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: drove him to be a villain. So it is, but
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: it also it also plays on some real sketch area
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: of making of I can't think of the word all
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, but basically giving excuses to make something okay,
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: I do think that writing villains as insane as lazy.
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: Yes, agreed, And it's also obviously dangerous, right like if
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: you if you write villains that way, then again you
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: can you can continue to push a stereotype or a
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: trope that doesn't actually reflect reality and yet still can
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: shape people's opinions about folks who do have struggles with
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: mental health. So yeah, there's there's that too. I mean,
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: that's been an issue with like villains for a really
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: long time. I mean, it's a very kind of shortcut
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: way to describe a villain. Plus, you don't ever have
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: to describe a villain's motivations that way, right, You never
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: have to give any real good motivation because they're just
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: quote unquote crazy. But that's kind of the whole point of.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you can also but you can also have mental
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: illness or struggles or whatnot or diagnoses and not be
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: bad because of that, but be pushed to a breaking
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: point because of the way treat people treat you because
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: of that. So again, this could be a whole conversation.
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: But I do have a theory about this movie, which
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: is that all of the stuff, all of the relationship
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: between Joker and Harley Quinn is made up in his
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: mind because he saw her once.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it would follow spoilers, It would follow
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: in the footsteps of the first film in that case.
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: But yeah, we'll have to obviously, with just a teaser
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: we're gonna have to wait a while longer to get
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: more material. I think most folks, if they've seen the
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: first film, they already know whether or not they're going
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: to see this one. Like, to me, this is one
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: of those movies where you don't even really need to
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: market it apart from telling people when it's out.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree for me, I much prefer the joker
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: that his villainousness comes from toxic chemicals.
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: So well, I mean, there's a there's the great Allan
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: Moore version where he was a failed comedian who is
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: then pressured into entering into a life of crime as
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: the Red Hood and then is pushed into the vat
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: of chemicals and that so it ends up being the combination, right,
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: because he's failed comedian who gets pulled into crime through
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: no choice of his own. It's not like he chose crime,
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: it's that he had to do it. And then on
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: top of that, he ends up having this terrible mutilation.
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: So then you get the best of both worlds. So
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: it's so good.
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: Chef's kiss I yeah, okay. Next we have a trailer
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: for Dark Matter, which is an Apple TV show starring
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: Joe Edgerton and Jennifer Jennifer Connolly, I don't know why
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about it. It's a thirty second or last thing.
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: I didn't know this was happening. A lot of Apple
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: TV stuff. They make a lot of stuff, and some
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: of it gets under my radar. But this feels it's
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: about a guy who is dabbling in the multiverse based
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: on like decisions you make. In each decision you make
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: creates a new multiverse. He dies and wakes up in
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: another universe and then goes down the rabbit hole. It
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: feels also kind of fringe to me, this trailer.
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's a whole thing where it sounds like
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: he's been kidnapped by himself and that like another alternate
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: version of himself has gone to take his place in
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: his world, which is lifting directly off of a fantasy
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: novel called Moon Dreams by this guy named Brad Strickland
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: who's my dad. But you know, I'll overlook it.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: No, it's I mean it is pulling directly from the
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: book Dark Matter by Blake Crouch.
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, science fiction thriller series clearly copied Brad Strickland. Who
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: is I'm just kidding you did not. I'm not saying
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: that possibly, no, there's possibly.
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know when their various books came out.
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: This is an idea that I think would be very
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: easy to come about when you start thinking about parallel universes,
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: that kind of thing. And it looks like it's also
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: got a little bit of the sort of the low
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: fi approach to the science fiction elements, which I'm all for.
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: It makes me think of a Primer, which was a
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: time travel movie that was very low fi with its
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: special effects and stuff, but still told a really compelling story.
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: That's what this kind of looks like to me, Like
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: it looks like this nondescript block of a building that
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: is the gateway to the to whatever their version of
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: the multiverse is, which is kind of neat. So I
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: am all for more series that are using science fiction
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: to tell compel stories like I'm still waiting for Severance
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: season two because Severance also is a is using a
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: science fiction idea, and the science fiction, I mean, it
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: plays a part. It's important in the series, but it's
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: not the focus of the series. It just enables the
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: story to be told. And I cannot wait for season two.
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: So like Apple TV in particular has been kind of
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: catching my attention with these sorts of projects.
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I agree that they're they're trying, they're trying
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: to corner a market, whether intentionally or not. They're they
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: seem to be. Is Severance getting a season two.
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: Yes, which is good because they they're left off with
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: a cliffhanger. But the last I heard like there was
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, obviously it got delayed during the strikes, so
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I know, I saw not too long
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: ago an update about when they were hoping to at
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: least finish the series, if not launch it, but I
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: can't remember what that was.
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, everything is still a little like back
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: when the strike ended, I was saying, it was being
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: said that like things would ramp up quickly, but that
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: hasn't been the case. Things have kind of slowed back down,
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: at least in Atlanta, partially because we might be looking
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: at a Nazi strike, so you know. But I was
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: just more curious because I know, I'm sure, I know
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: there are things that were getting developed pre strike that
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: then got slashed post strike, so.
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: I hope that's not one of them. Yeah, I think
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: Severance is still on track, but I have not looked
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: into it, so maybe by next week I will have
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: done my homework and I will be able to answer that.
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: As long as that the homework that you didn't know
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: you had.
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, as long as that homework also doesn't include having
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: to watch the first two seasons of Bridgerton, because I've
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: never watched an episode, and you put the trailer for
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: season three on here.
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I don't think it would be.
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: For you, Johnathan.
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's not romance.
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: There's lots of people dressed in fancy clothes or sometimes
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: undressed in them, being all fancy and stuff and being
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: all romancing on each other.
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: It does this weird like it's a period drama, but
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: it's not period accurate. It's not like Dunton Abbey that
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: went more for accuracy. I think I'm not super well
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: versed in that time period, so there's a lot of
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: like anachronistic stuff, kind of kind of like a Night's Tale,
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: which maybe it's me. That wasn't my favorite thing, but
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: I do like I do like Bridgerton. It's a light,
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: popcorny watch. Sometimes.
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: Did you go to the big Bridgerton experience that was
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: here in Atlanta when they were doing that.
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: I did not want to have to pay for a
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: Bridgerton dress, to go, pay to take pictures to post
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: on Instagram, and have a drink and dance at a
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: party by myself.
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was right across the street for me. I
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: could have gone with you. Then you wouldn't have to
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: dance with yourself. You could dance with me, you know me.
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: I cut a rug, I shake a leg.
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I don't modern cut a rug. If they
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: were doing actual dances, regency dances, I would be all
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: about it. But I don't think that was primarily the dance.
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: I think it was primarily DJ danced. For people who
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: like those experiences, it's great. I haven't really done many
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: of them, because again, it's a kind of high price
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: point for it has to be. It has to be
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: more than an Instagram dive for me.
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I get you. Yeah, No, there's so many. We've
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: talked about this because when I talked about the Balloon Museum,
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: I talked about how there are a lot of those
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: Instagram museum experiences or whatever where it all does seem
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: to just be engineered for social media, where the value
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: you get out of it isn't actually going to the
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: thing or experiencing the thing. It's capturing your experience of
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: the thing. And at that point, I'm just like, y'all,
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: I know I'm old. I know it. You don't have
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: to tell me. I realize I'm old. My body reminds
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: me on a daily basis. But I just don't go
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: in for that kind of stuff.
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: There are experiences that also are highly instagrammable, but the
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: experience itself is something that even if you don't get
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: a single picture, you're going to remember it. Yeah, Miyahwulf
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: to me yes is one of those. And you know,
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: I'm in a photography scavenger hunt that I do, like
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: every three months there's a new one, and I pay
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: five bucks for it so I can make my own
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: instagrammable pictures. The problem with something like that is if
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: I go to like now, I know a lot of
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: people who have had fun at the Balloon Museum, and
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: that's fantastic. I bet if I went, I'd have fun.
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: I'm just a cheap skate. But you know, if I
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: take my picture in front of the same wall with
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: fifty balloons that somebody else does, unless I have a
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: story to go with it, it's yeah, it's paying for
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: a picture with Santa Claus.
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: The Balloon Museum, I justified only because I knew that
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: that consisted of exhibits that actual artists had put together
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: with artistic intent, and it wasn't just something thrown together
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: to again appeal to social media. Although it definitely falls,
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: it's closer to that category than say, going to the
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: High Museum of Art, certainly by a mile. But I
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: was like, I'm willing to give this a shot because
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: of what it is, and I thought it was fine,
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: and I enjoyed the experience for what it was, and
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: I did take a couple of pictures, but I don't
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: have social media accounts where I post pictures anymore really,
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: so for me, it has to be an experience that
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: I'm going to enjoy all on its own, without the
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: social media component, because I don't do that anymore.
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: So well, and like an art exhibit would be that
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: I go around and I look at Christmas lights every
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: year because I enjoy the experience. I probably enjoy a
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: lantern festival or you know, going through nights of lights
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: or whatever. So I totally get that, and that's totally valid,
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: and I forgot that the balloon exhibit was also an
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: art exhibit that makes it much better.
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, it definitely does still fall into what
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: you were saying though, Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you.
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, no, I was just going to bring
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: us back to Bridgerton.
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: Yes three, yes, because other stuff.
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so this season three. Each season kind of follows
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: the pairing up of a different sibling of the Bridgerton
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: family or child of the Bridgerton family, and this season
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: deals with Colin and his longtime childhood friend Penelope, who
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: comes from a less affluent but much more trying to
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: be a fluent family and Colin has snubbed Penelope through
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: the previous two seasons, and this is kind of where
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: Penelope gets her glow up, as to say, like, she
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: dresses better and learns to have more confidence. It's it's
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: kind of an ugly duckling story, but all along she's
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: been a power player. It's just been more undercover. And
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: then Colin kind of learning to be a cool dude
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: instead of kind of a butt dude. Yeah, the costuming
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: is a lot of fun.
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: A butt dude, a butt he was being a butt Okay, okay,
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: I think being a butt is different from being a
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: butt dude, but well, who am I.
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: To judge, okay, from being a jerkface. Is that better?
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: Okay, got it? Now you're speaking my language.
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: Okay, And and sort of their romance. I do think
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: it's it's a little funny. It was recently in the
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: news that Nikola Coughlin, who plays Penelope Featherington, she was
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: also in Dairy Girls if you recognize the name, agreed
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: to do this season if she could get a PG
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: cut to share with her parents.
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: That's funny.
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: I think it's delightful. If you like romance and you
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: like a Night's Tale, you'll probably like Bridgerton. I'm not
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: normally a romance girly, but I don't know. Yeah, it's
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: an easy watch.
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: I was worried while watching the trailer that it was
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: going to turn into one of those let's let her
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: hair down and take off her glasses. Now suddenly the
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: girl is like stunning, But it's not handled so heavy
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: handed as that in the trailer, at least so that
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: that is somewhat reassuring.
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, she's very smart through the entire series,
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: and I think she's I think Nicoloa Cofflin's gorgeous. She is,
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: you know, it's it's more it's more that learning that
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: confidence in self assuredance. I was gonna say something else,
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: but now I don't remember.
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: I'm very good at hijacking the conversation.
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: No, no, that's good. No, I'm looking forward to it. Oh.
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: I really did like Queen Charlotte, though I think I
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: talked about that when I watched it, which was an
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: offshoot because in the Bridgerton series, Queen Charlotte is the
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: reigning monarch. She was married to King George who went mad.
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: The Madness of King George is a really great old movie.
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it holds up, but it's a
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: great old movie. It's not that old, but you did
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: have mental illness what.
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: I said, it's not that old. But yeah, I said,
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: it's not that old. But that's because I remember when
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: that movie came out in theaters.
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: It was in the nineties, right, yeah, yeah, it's not
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: that when Helen Mirren was considered young.
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: She's still hot, though I'm not gonna she is.
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: She is. Look, I don't think age and attractiveness go
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: hand in hand. I love The Madness of King George
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: the third. I thought it was a good movie. It
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: could probably use a slight update. But regardless, I thought
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: that the Queen Charlotte series, while still a romance series,
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: dealt very well with a spouse dealing with another spouse
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: who is struggling with mental illness, and it was in
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: that time period, and so I found it very moving.
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: Actually I cried, here's here's hoping that for Bridgerton fans
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: that they get a season that stands up to the
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: other ones. They already enjoyed the trailer. Like, I don't
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: have a point of reference, So I'll say that the
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: trailer looked like it was very well produced, but it
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: didn't to me, simply because that's not that's not my world.
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: So that's not a judgment on the series itself. It's
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: just that I have no point of contact with that show.
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then we were going to talk about a
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: whole bunch of things that were hitting the news, Nosferatu,
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: Wicked or LANs, Deadpool, and Wolverine. But really the only
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: news is that news outlets are saying, hey, we got
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: to go to CinemaCon and you didn't. So we saw
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: cool stuff and you don't get to see it yet.
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, Like all of this stuff was stuff where
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: people were expressly told not to take their phones out
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: and shoot footage of it. In fact, Hugh Jackman as
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: Wolverine apparently had a profanity laced filmed statement about how
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: that was not allowed. It sounded like it was hilarious,
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: But we didn't get to see that either because no
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: one was allowed to shoot, so we just got descriptions
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: of everything after the fact.
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, which is frustrating when I'm seeing a bunch of
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: articles going first looks at Nosparatu and then there's nothing. Yeah,
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: ar Like if you go on the IMDb page, there's
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: a couple of things, but it's not what they were eluding.
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: Right, It's like it's theater of the mind. They're just
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: describing it and you have to imagine it. There were
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: a couple of things, like images released and stuff that
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: we did get to see, Like I think it was
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: Bill Scarsguard who's playing the vampire Orlock not in nos Faratu,
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: Like there's a picture of him as Orlock, but we
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: didn't get to see the nine minutes of footage they
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: showed of Deadpool and Wolverine, for example. But Yeah, it
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: sounds like there was a lot of impressive stuff. I
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: would have liked to have seen more like reactions from
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: various folks who did go just to kind of get
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: a feel for what worked and what didn't. But yeah,
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: I'm sure it was cool to have been there.
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the reactions I saw for nos Faratu were that
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: it was very good and it's going to be very
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: genuinely skied.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: So that's good. Then be able to handle it, sure
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: you will. You can just sit there and go like,
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: this is just like bred Stoker's Dracula.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: That wasn't scary.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. If you could just say that
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: over and over again, you'll be fine.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: With my eyes close and my ears plugged, and so
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: it will. Actually I'll just be I'll actually be watching
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: bram Stoker's Dracula just in the theater. For Nosparato.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, I wouldn't put it past someone in some
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: of the theaters I've been in, So.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that is true. Although I will say the last
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: movie I went to go see, Ghostbusters, ended up having
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: a really like respectful audience in it.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: It was delightful, nice.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was super great. Nobody was on their phone.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: The only time people were talking were like laughing a
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: little bit. It was it was a wonderful experience. It
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: wasn't a super full theater, unfortunately, but everybody there was
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: super cool.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: Speaking of super emphasis on the super.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: Did you like Heroes?
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: Uh? I, so you're talking about the television series Heroes. Yes,
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: I watched the I like the first season of Heroes,
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: but it was one of those shows where the longer
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: the season went on, the more it was clear that
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: the show creators had an idea for where they wanted
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: to go, but they had not really plotted it out
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: because there was a lot of like stalling it felt
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: like to get to you know, because they did a
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: lot of establishing first up. Because the whole concept of
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: Heroes is that normal people start to manifest superpowers, and
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: not everyone gets them, but the people who do get them,
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: they don't know what connects them or why they've suddenly
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: got superpowers, and some of them decide to embrace their
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: superpowers and become heroes, some of them become villains. Them
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: tried to ignore the fact that they have powers entirely,
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: and it was a really interesting concept. This was before
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: we got to the explosion of superhero content that would
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: follow in further years, right, like, we did not have
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: the Marvel Cinemac universe when Heroes came out, And the
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: reason we brought it up is because the creator of
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: that series, Tim Kring, is planning on doing a new series,
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: not a reboot either or not exactly. It's supposed to
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: be new characters in that same world from what I gather,
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: so that's interesting.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, although they said some of the villains might be
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: the same, and I think that that might be a
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: mistake because I think the biggest problem because I watched
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: one of the later seasons of Heroes, they ended up
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: going to a carnival and really clear the cheerleader was
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: one of the only over arguing characters, and I feel
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: like it was a mistake to have old characters come
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: through to the new story. I also watched the spin
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: off that they had later that had like a video
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: game girl in it, but it had hero from the
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: original Heroes in it, and that was okay. But again,
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: when you're trying to put your old, convoluted story into
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: a new story and make it make sense, it just
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: gets messy. So I hope they come up with new
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: villains for it, and I'd enjoy the original series.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: It's also weird because now, of course, we do live
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: in a world where we have a glut of superhero content,
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: both from Marvel and DC, and then other stuff that's
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: not necessarily directly connected to Marvel or DC but still
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: kind of falls in that superhero genre. And I'm very
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: curious if there will be as much of an appetite
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: for a new heroes series when at least for some people,
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: there's still this perception of there's nothing to go see
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: in the theater except superhero movies, because that seems to
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: be like the most popular genre in theaters year after year.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: It's a little less so this year than it has
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: been in years past, like Marvel has chilled the heck
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: out at least for as far as film releases. I
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: think Deadpool Versus Deadpool and Wolverine is like the only
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 2: one we're getting this year, I think, whereas in most years, I.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: Think they're advertising Fantastic four.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: Sure, but we're not getting it this year, right, Like
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: there are some years where we were getting three or
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: four MCU movies.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I personally feel like there's a difference with
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: heroes though, because it's not in a world that is
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: set up to have superheroes.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess. I mean it's interesting because I would say,
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 2: the first Iron Man felt that way to me, right, Like,
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: there was no indication in Iron Man that all these
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: other heroes had already existed, Like you didn't know about
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: Captain Marvel or Captain America. Even in that first Iron
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: Man movie, there was no reference to them. So like,
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: as far as you could tell, iron Man was like
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: and of course he doesn't actually have superpowers. He builds
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: a suit that gives him those powers. But you know,
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: iron Man was like an anomaly and it was only
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: later that you started to find out. Oh no, actually,
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: this universe has a rich history of superpowered individuals. Let
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: me introduce you to the Eternals and then you can
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: walk away because that is boring as heck.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: But wasn't there like a like an Easter egg in
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: the Norton version of The Hulk?
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, at the very end of The Hulk? Well yeah,
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: because that because that movie is in the Marvel Cinemac universe.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: The Hulk is the second film in the Marvel Cinemac universe.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: The first one is The Iron is iron Man, and
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: the second one is is.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: The Whole The Help come out after iron Man?
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: It did it came out first? No, it came out
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: after because Robert Dunny Junior as Tony Stark shows up
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 2: at the very end and talks to Thunderbolt Ross. Yeah,
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: that's like, that's like Iron Man's first. And I know
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: this because I own the Phase one through four DVD
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: sets and they are organized chronologically by release date, not
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 2: by when the film takes place, but by release date.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 2: So I did too. Like when I sat there and
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: thought back on, I was like, Oh, the Hulk came
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: out and then they decided they were going to do
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 2: this big interconnected universe. Nope, The Hulk was movie two
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: in the series. Just it was a movie that hardly
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 2: anyone went to go see, which is why it was
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: such a big deal. When they recast the character with
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: Mark Ruffalo coming in, that was a big big thing.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: And Robert Donney Junr at that comic con came out
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: and hyped up the crowd to introduce Mark Ruffalo, knowing
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: that there was already this like her to get over
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: because he wasn't the guy who played the Hulk in
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: the film.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: So interesting things that, you know, every geek has their
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: blind spots. That was one of mine.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: I mean I only know it because I looked it
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: up well after the fact, because I was the same
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: as you. I thought the Hulk came out before Iron
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: Man and then it was only like retro fitted to
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: be kind of sort of in part of the timeline.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I didn't hate it. I didn't hate that
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: Ed Norton Hulk. Well, and I know that we've gotten
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: tim Roth in like she Hulk as the Abomination.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, And there's I think there's talk of some
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: of the other characters from that Hulk film potentially showing
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: up in other Marvel movies down the line, but we'll
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: have to have to see. And yeah, I don't think
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: I ever even finished the movie. I started watching it
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: because I again, I own it in that DVD set,
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: and I think I got two thirds the way through
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: and then something came up and I turned it off,
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: and I never bothered turning it back on, which tells
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: you how much it grabbed me.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: I do that with a lot of movies. I do
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: that with more TV shows, and I hate it because
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: I'll like the TV show and then I'll get distracted
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: because there is so much media out there. As an actor,
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: I love it, but as a viewer it's sometimes hard.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: And then that TV show gets canceled because enough people
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: didn't watch the first season to the end, and I'm
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: a part of the problem.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: Well for me. For me, it happens with shows that
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: just stay on the air and then I get further
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 2: and further behind to a point where I am intimidated
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 2: to jump back in. Like Bob's Burgers is a great example.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: I love that show, but I paused watching it like
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 2: five or six years ago, and now there's all those
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: episodes and I'm like, I really need to get back
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 2: to it. And the longer I wait, the more there's
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: going to be to watch. But there's so much already.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah. See that's I I'm I've taken a break, but
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: I'm watching through Community and King of the Hill and
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: there was I'm starting after they finished, but there was
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: there's a lot to get through.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: So I understand, Well, we still have something to get
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: through too, even though our show's running a bit long.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: And that is we promise y'all a mash up, and
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: we've got it. And the two properties we decided to
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: mash up were Dune and Spice World, the Spice Girls movie.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this was Jonathan's idea. I know that some of
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: you are not as big of a fan as the mashups.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: A lot of you guys have said we want mash ups,
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: so this is your fault. This was Jonathan's idea, but
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: we do have your suggestions that have come through on
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: discord an email to work to go through as we
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: continue to do mashups. Is just for the first one,
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: we wanted to lob like an easy like a softball.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah, we have to. We have to shake
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: the ring rust off because we haven't done the in
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: a long time. So Ariel, do you want to go
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 2: first or shall I?
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: I can go first because it's shorter. If everybody should
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: know what done is, because we've talked about it a
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: bunch on this show. If you aren't familiar with Spice World,
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: it is a movie that the Spice Girls made. The
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: Spice Girls Well, I'll explain it in my mashup. So
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: we didn't actually compare titles. So if I've taken your title, Jonathan,
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: I'm very sorry. This is called Spice Up Your Spice.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: I love it, so Spice up your life. Okay, So
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: the girls were at it again. You know the Spice Girls,
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: that sexy britpop band from the late nineties early two thousands,
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: and by again I mean they were gearing up to
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: do a reunion tour to once more take London and
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: the world by storm. They loaded into their double decker
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: bus and headed on their adventure. But for those who
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: are familiar, adventure for the Spice Girls was rarely without danger,
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: and it was no different this time, I'm sort of.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: As soon as they started on their tour prep, the
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: earthquakes started, never massive, but enough to take note of.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: Earthquakes are not unheard of in London, but they weren't
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: super common either, and that's when the girls noticed it.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: A shadowy figure with glowing blue eyes watching them. The
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: girls upped their security and locked the doors, but everywhere
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: they went the same thing happened. Earthquake, shadowy figure with
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: glowing blue eyes. Yet the figure never did more than
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: be a creeper. Then, one day, while the Spice Girls
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: were at their final sound check for their tour, they
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: had had enough scary. Spice, being the bravest, marched right
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: up to the figure and demanded an explanation for its
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: stockery behavior. The figure apologized and introduced themselves as Lido
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: to a tradees. He said that the Spice on their
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: planet was becoming scarce, largely due to the disappearance of sandworms,
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: and he had gotten a signal that there were spiceworms
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: on a distant planet called Earth, so he had his
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: navigator send them to Earth pronto. Unfortunately, Lito was dismayed
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: to find out that the signal was misinterpreted interpreted, and
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: that spice worms were actually spice women. But he had
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: also noticed the earthquakes and so followed the women to
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: see if there was any truth at all to the
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: original assumption, and sadly, up to this point his efforts
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: were turning up nothing. Scary was admittedly confused, but relayed
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: the info to the other girls, and, being such chill
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: and cool folk, while they couldn't help Lito, they did
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: invite him to their concert that night, and that is
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: when things took a turn for the weird. I have
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: a typo here where my computer instead, things took Saturn
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: for the weird. By the way, at the concert that night,
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: as soon as they began to play, a massive earthquake hit,
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: rending the floor of the concert hall. Something or some
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: things was coming right for the girls. They called for
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: the hall to be evacuated, and that's when they saw them,
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: the five most massive sandworms to ever exist, accidentally transported
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: to the center of the Earth and called forth by
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: the massive good vibrations of the Spice Girl's music. They
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: had a Lito too, tried to save them, but it
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: was too late. The sandworms devoured the Spice Girls and
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: all seemed to be lost. But in a magic sailor
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: Moon esque turn of events, the girls in the sandworms
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: were merged together into some sort of symbiote. Leedo knew
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: this was a fate foretold for him, but now that
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: he saw it, he was real glad it happened to
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: someone else. The Spiceworm Girls, however, never to be stopped,
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: took their new forms and stride. Their new more wormy
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: bodies provided a soul vibrating addition to their music that
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: had never been heard or felt on Earth before, calling
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: to the hearts of all music connoisseurs. The band continued
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: their tour, launched their own line of spice based products,
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: and merched to sell to both Earth and Oracus and
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: the rest of space, saving multiple planets, bringing a new
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: vibe to the music industry and securing trade throughout the galaxies.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 2: The End Wow okay, well you as always. Before we
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: started recording, Ariel expressed the concern that perhaps, despite the
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: fact that we do not collaborate at all when we're
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: working on our mashups, that we might have created the
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: same story. I can rest I can you can rest
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: assured we did not. That was great. Okay, that was great.
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: Uh mine, I'm gonna call it Spice World sealed with
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 2: Erra Kiss instead of a Racus, but it is Era Kiss.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 2: Here we go.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 2: Spicy Paul has a problem, well, he's got a lot
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 2: of problems. For one thing, his Spice Daddy got all murderized.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 2: And by Spice Daddy, I mean his actual father, not
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 2: some sort of special friend. Spice Daddy's demise means that
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 2: Spicy Paul has inherited the Spice World and managing baby Posh, Ginger,
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 2: sporty and scary has been quite the task. Not only
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 2: are the five Spice Girls all independent women getting it done,
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 2: they've all become a little frustrated by the fact that
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 2: the fremen on Spice World aren't so into their brand
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 2: of bubble gum pop, which means their concerts typically end
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: up being for a couple of Rocks and the odd sandworm.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 2: What's worse is that Nick Maxford Harkenin seems determined to
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 2: end their careers once and for all. And boy howdy
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 2: has hearkened and tried for one thing. He's the guy
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 2: responsible for the murderization of Spicy Paul's Spice Daddy. I
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 2: know he's a terrible person, but our Spice five aren't
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 2: ready to lay it all down just yet. They have
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 2: a big plan to win the fremen over with a
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 2: free outdoor concert in the sand Bowl, which is the
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 2: name for the outdoor amphitheater on Oracus. It's down to
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 2: Spicy Paul to get all the details just right, and
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 2: he sure does have his work cut out for him.
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 2: It's hard to convince his five charges to wear their
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 2: still suits. For example, eck no, I won't put that
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: thing up my nose. Ginger would say, you'll die without it,
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 2: argues Spicy Paul. If I wore it, I would immediately
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: die from shame, posh, I replied, and ultimately Paul had
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: to settle on the girls, making significant changes to the
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: suit's design, almost all of which negated the purpose for
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 2: wearing it in the first place. In fact, most of
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 2: his days were spent scrambling up what little water there
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 2: was just to keep the girls alive. Now we pause
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: the film so that we get the Spice Girls singing
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: Saturday Night Sandworms. Okay. Meanwhile, Nick Maxford Harkenin gets wind
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 2: of the concert plans, and he says, we must destroy
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: Spicy Paul and his Spice Girls. And he bellows this
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 2: to no one in particular, and soon he develops a plan.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: He will send a CD photographer named Richard O'Brien, who
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 2: also was Riff Raff and Rocky Horror Picture Show. And
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 2: Richard O'Brien's gotta go and sneak up on the girls
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 2: and take pictures and videos of them during unflattering moments,
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 2: all in an effort to discredit them in the eyes
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: of fans. Also, he would send Peter da Frees, who
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: is an evil mentos and upon contact with Diet Koke,
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: he explodes, and it would be Peter Deviree his job
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: to take out Spicy Paul. So then we have to
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: pause the movie again because now the Spice Girls have
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: to sing I'm the leader of the Fremen open Bracket,
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 2: I am closed bracket. Then we cut back to Spicy Paul,
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: who's running into issues with the plan forgetting the group
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: to the sand Bowl on time because the girls keep
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 2: asking for time off so they can spend it with
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 2: their ben ages are at friend Nikola, who is expecting
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 2: and is due any day now, but Spicy Paul keeps
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 2: denying them. He's worried about distractions leading up to the
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: sand Bowl, as well as the fact that mc maxford
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 2: hearkened in his intent on destroying them all. But the
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: girls do slip away and they find themselves out in
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 2: front of a crashed ornithopter in the middle of the desert. Yeah,
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: do you remember when we did a gig it and
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 2: it's very crashed, soight when we would just starting out,
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: says Scary Spice. I do, I do? I do, says
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 2: Baby Spice, And then Sporty Spice says something that's not
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 2: very funny and just reminds every one of that time
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 2: that she was on Big that Quish the year and
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 2: no one liked her Anyway, the girls run into Nikki
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 2: and they decide it's time to go dancing. Just as
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 2: they get into a groove with a cool song called
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 2: Fear is the Mind Killer, Nikola goes into labor, and
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 2: there's this hilarious sequence where they try to get her
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 2: to a hospital before they realize there aren't any hospitals
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 2: on Spice World that aren't under direct Hearken in control.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 2: So Nikola gives birth in the desert to a little girl,
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: and that plot gets to go away now, but then
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 2: we pause the film so that the Spice Girls can
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 2: sing if you want to be my Quizot's Hadarak, And
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: then the girls suddenly realize that they're running late for
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 2: that concert, so Spicy Paul is sure gonna be miffed,
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 2: and we do a smash cut to Spicy Paul who's
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 2: murdering the heck out of Peter Devrees by pouring a
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: two liter of diet coke down his throat, which causes
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 2: him to blow up. As I mentioned earlier, smash cut
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: back to the girls who run into Richard O'Brien, but
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 2: then they convince him to stop being a creep and
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 2: instead maybe go to do another sequel to Rocky Horror
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: Picture Show, you know, like Shock Treatment, And O'Brien sighs
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: and says fine, and on his way out he ends
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 2: up blackmailing mcmxford harkenin with photos of him romping around
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 2: with some floozies and this big, oily, nasty ooze pit
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 2: that he likes to bathe in, So that plot can
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 2: go away now too, and we pause the movie again
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: so that the Spice girls can sing. The lady is
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 2: a reverend mother and also a vamp. Then the girl's
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 2: song attracts the attention of a sandworm, which they quickly wrangle,
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 2: and then they ride the sandworm in a frenzied attempt
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: to get to the sand Bowl on time for the concert,
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: and at one point apropos of nothing with no setup whatsoever,
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 2: Baby Spice discovers there's a bomb on the worm why
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 2: who knows? Probably won't come back anyway, so the worm
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 2: gets to the venue just in time, though some Fremen
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 2: Highway patrol are really miffed about the traffic violations, but
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 2: formerly fortunately rather with some eyelash batting from Baby Spice,
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 2: the girls are able to get through and they get
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: to the Sandy Bowl, which is just packed with Fremen
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: because Spicy Paul has done a great job promoting the
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 2: event and they have a fantastic show, but unfortunately it
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 2: attracts like twelve more sandworms and everyone gets eaten. Also
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 2: at the very en, the bomb sand worm explodes and
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 2: it's really gross the end, But over the credits we
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 2: get the song, the final song, which is called Dune
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 2: Spice Up your Life. It goes a little something like
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 2: la la la la la, la la la la. When
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 2: you need to fly through space, will throw spice right
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 2: in your face. You will feel that you will change
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 2: when you dose with our melane fremen, raise your fists,
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 2: Spice up your life, mintets with a twist, Spice up
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 2: your life. Hearkenin's in your midst Spice up your life.
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 2: Ah ornithopteris to the lift if you're having a good time.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 2: Sandwich to your right, if you know that you feel fine,
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 2: Bna jesert to the front. Hah, go round and then
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 2: like all the girls in the audience will start singing
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 2: this while the credits are going, and it will get
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 2: in your head and it will give you a migraine
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 2: and you're really good. Friends will ins on singing it
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: at karaoke and it's clear they're having a fun time,
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 2: and that's good. Like that should happen. You should be
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 2: supportive of the fact that your friends are just enjoying
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 2: themselves even though it is killing you to sit through
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 2: that experience. The end, I love it.
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised you didn't full out sing, but oh okay.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 2: It's partly because I forgot how the tune goes. Like
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 2: it's one of those things where like I thought before
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 2: we started recording, like I should probably listen to the
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 2: song just to remember how itll But like, honestly, that
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 2: bit about the karaoke thing is real in that sometimes
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 2: at karaoke sometimes that song gets picked and the women
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 2: in the group love to sing it, which is fantastic.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 2: I do not wish to yuck their yum or deny
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 2: their joy. And by singing, I really am being kind
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 2: because it's more like screaming it. And by the end
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 2: of it, I'm just like I need I need a
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 2: quiet place for a little while.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: Uh. Full disclosure. While I liked the Spice girls, I
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: didn't enjoy their music till kind of after they stopped
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: being in prominence. But you said nobody liked Melanie c
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: Sporty Spice. I didn't watch her on that Big Fat
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: Quiz show. Is that what it's called?
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's actually actually it was Scary Spice who was
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 2: on the Big Fat Quiz Show. That was me making
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 2: a mistake in my script, okay.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: Because I would saying I don't know much about any
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 1: of the Spice girls other than that Victoria Beckham is
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: Posh Spice is married to a soccer player. Yeah, but
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: Melanie c did play an amazing Mary Magdalen in Jesus
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: Christ Superstar just blew it out of the water.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yeah, so the the Yeah, it was mel
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 2: B who was in Big Fat Quiz Show, So I
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 2: should have said Scary Spice, not Sporty Spice. That was
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 2: on me. That is sloppy writing on my part, But
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 2: in my defense, it's two people with the almost identical names.
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 2: What's also funny is that I didn't know this either,
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 2: because full disclosure, I've never seen Spice World all the
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 2: way through. I've seen bits of it, but I didn't
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 2: remember until I actually watched the preview for the film
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 2: that by this point they weren't going by Baby Posh
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 2: and Ginger, they were going by their names. So that
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 2: was something that I had already but already written that part,
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 2: and it's like, no, they're going to keep it with
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 2: Baby Posh ginger, scary and sporty.
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: I don't remember that at all. I think I do
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: remember baby Spice being like, this is kind of weird
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: that I got to be a baby in that. I
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: might also be.
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 2: Making that up in my head in the trailer, at
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 2: least they the voiceover references them by like Emma and
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 2: you know Melby and Melcy and et cetera.
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: So gotcha. Well that is it for our show. We
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: got to wrap things up.
