  Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, Welcome to the Large and or Drunk Ladder podcast.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: The podcast it's all about the peeky things happening in
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: the world around us and how very excited we are
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: about them. I'm Verial cast in and with me as always,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: is the incredibly patient Jonathan Strickland. Yeah.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: I have to be incredibly patient because taking all those
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: thumping noises out of the audio is really hard.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to fix it, my friend, What was happening
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: till just now?
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know it's well, it's because it's very difficult
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: to hear during the actual recording process. Like I never
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: notice it while we're recording. I only notice it when
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: I'm editing and I'm like, oh, something is like shifting
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: and hitting a microphone or something. But you know, those
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: are just that's just a peak behind the curtain to
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: what it's like to produce podcasts. Y'all.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: All right, I think I've fixed it, but if I haven't,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: yell at me and I will fix it again.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, no worries, No worries. This wasn't meant to be
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: like calling it. Listen, there have been most of the time.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: What the noises I'm taking out are me sniffing. That's
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: because I've had like a slight, like low cold for
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: like two months on top of everything else.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Fun fact, last week my husband had was under the weather.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: We're guessing like a mild flu because he's vaccinated against
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: the flu, right, and I was like, oh man, I
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: dodged getting sick. And then this week, like all weekend
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: we're both feeling fine. He was completely covered, and then
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: this week I have been fighting a cold.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: So yeah, well, I mean it happens like and even
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: with me, like, well, I would say that I don't
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: get out much, but I've definitely been into a ton
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: of doctor's offices recently, and I don't know, I guess
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: it's weird. I never really thought about it, but it
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: appears like doctor's offices like there's like a higher than
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: average number of sick people in them, so uh something. Anyway,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: that's not what we're here to talk about. What we're
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: here to talk about is things water geeky and that
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: we love them.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Yes, and per usual or at least usual post our
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: last break, we're going to start with things that we've watched,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: and per my promise of last week, I did, in
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: fact watch Spider Man across the Spider Verse.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Oh, I thought you were going to say you watched
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: the superb Owl.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: I also watched the superb Owl.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Well, what did you think about Spider Man? Because I
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: still haven't I still need to watch that.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I really liked it. I felt highly inadequate that I
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: couldn't recognize all of the all of the references. But
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I've never been like a huge like I liked Spider Man,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: but I never like followed it hugely hugely, so it's reasonable.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, and they they introduced so many different variations
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: of Spider Man over the years that I mean, if
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: I were getting real like cynical, I'd be like, yeah,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: of course, because they were trying to make more money
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: and it didn't really matter if if it made sense
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: from a story perspective or not. So I definitely wouldn't
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: recognize all the variants because I've really only you know,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: casually followed the Peter Parker Spider Man story.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Well, and like every time I'm like, well, that surely
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: was just made up for the movie. It wasn't, but
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: it was really it was really good because it started
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: a little slow. I will say like it started a
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: little slow. There was a lot of like emotional stuff
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: and it was still good. But when the movie picked up,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: it was fantastic. The villain ended up being quite scary
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: to me, which I enjoyed. And I thought that punk
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Spidey was going to be my favorite character, Hoby, but
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: he wasn't. PUV was my favorite character, which was.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: The Eastern Indian Spider Man. Yeah. The only reason I
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: know that is because I play Marvel Puzzle Quest and
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: that version of Spider Man was introduced as one of
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: the one of the characters you can collect, and I
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: got him.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Just absolutely delightful. Just but it was really well done.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: The voice cast is always is amazing in that I
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: quite enjoyed it. The end was surprising and wonderful.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: How did it stack up against the first one.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: That's a hard question because I I can't I can't
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: really compare them. Again, I think it. I think it
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: was a little bit the story. The scenes were not
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: slower in the beginning, but the story was slower in
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: the beginning kind of. It took a while to really
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: get a good good momentum. I you know, it wasn't
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: as new, it wasn't as new of a thing, right.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so the joy of Discovery. You had already experienced
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: that with the first one.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think I liked it just as much.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: That's cool, awesome. Well, I'm so I'm so pleased to
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: hear it. Like I said, I still need to see it,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: and obviously, I'm sure most of our listeners have seen,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: like saw this like months ago at this point, but
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: I'm really looking forward to it. Maybe I'll actually give
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: it a shot. I'm supposed to take a little bit
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: of time off in another week or so, so maybe
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: I can set some of that time aside for watching that,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: because it I've been looking forward to it. Instead, what
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: I did was, you know, i'd only watched the first
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: episode of season four of True Detective until this week,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: and then I binge the other four episodes that are
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: out now. The sixth episode comes out on the eighteenth.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: We're recording this on the sixteenth, so I have not
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: had a chance to watch the final episode of season four,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: And you know what, the things that I had issues
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: with from the first episode, I still have issues with now,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: even though I went ahead and binged the other four episodes.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: But more so, like I don't know, I don't know
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: if they're going to really finally say yeah, there's some
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: sort of supernatural element here, or if they're going to
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: attempt to kind of hand wave it away, which would
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: seem really weird considering a lot of the stuff that
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: has been unfolding in the series, or they're just not
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: going to bother to explain it at all, which is
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: what I suspect they're going to do and I feel
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: will be the least satisfying. But I guess I'll see
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: there's actually a lot of stuff they need to wrap
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: up in the sixth episode in order for it to
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: have a satisfying conclusion, because I mean, there's the main mystery,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: it's actually a pair of mysteries that are at the
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: heart of the story of the season, But then there
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: are all these other subplots that they've introduced, and I
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: question whether they can bring everything to a satisfying conclusion
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: in a single episode and not have it feel rushed
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: or artificial. I want to have enjoyed this season more
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: than I have, but I consistently find it vexing.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: I get that, and you know what, I think, I
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: think them ending with not explaining anything, if it isn't
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Lovecraft inspired, is.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Accurate. I mean, yeah, it's because, like in the first season,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: there was this sort of supernatural subtext at the very
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: least in the first season, but you could you could
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: walk away saying, all right, it had a lot of
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: super supernatural subtexts, but nothing was overtly supernatural, and it
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: totally could have taken place in a real world. You
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: don't even need magic realism. You just need people who
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: are delusional for one reason or another. Maybe they're mentally unwell,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: maybe they have been drugged, maybe they've been brainwashed, whatever
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: it is, right, and this season, I feel like there
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: are fewer ways to just kind of shrug it off
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: and not explain it unless you argue that you know,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: it's set in Alaska, and it's set in the winter,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: when it's far enough north in Alaska where the sun
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: sets and it stays dark for several weeks. Right, So
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: maybe your argument is this is the psychological toll that
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: takes on people when there's no sunlight for days on end.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: That maybe what they go with. But I don't think
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: it would be a very satisfying answer. It wouldn't satisfy
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: me anyway. I don't know about the average viewer.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, is this the do have they announced whether
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: they're planning on another season or if this is their final.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: I haven't heard, but I wouldn't be surprised if they
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: planned another one, because it's one of those things where
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: it's a prestige title that gets a lot of attention.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Most of the reviews I've seen for season four have
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: been pretty positive. A few of them have taken the
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: same issue that I have, which is that a lot
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: of the stuff feels like it's filler or that it's
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: a distraction, and that it's purposefully holding back progress on
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: the main mystery, because if they dedicated the entire attention
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: to the main mystery, you'd be done in like two
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: and a half episodes, so they have to have all
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: this extra stuff to pad it out a bit. But
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: the problem is that the padding starts to kind of
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: take center stage, and it's not as interesting as that
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: central mystery is, and so you can get frustrated, but
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: that doesn't necessarily mean it'll prevent them from doing another show,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: And if it gets continues to get critical acclaim, then
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: there are a lot of reasons to do another season.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: So I haven't heard anything about season five, but I
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: wouldn't be surprised about it, whether they would whether they
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: would do another one that was inspired by Chambers work.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know, because this one feels like it's like
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: the first season felt that it was heavily inspired by
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: chambers work. This one feels like it's none as directly
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: inspired by chambers work because they haven't referenced the King
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: in Yellow or Carcosa or anything like that. But they
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: have referenced the image of the spiral, which was first
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: introduced in season one of True Detective. They've they've referenced
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: that a ton in this season. So maybe they would
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: go to another season where it ends up feeling more grounded,
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: because that's what they did with seasons two and three.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Gotcha? Gotcha? And then you know, I watched the superb Owl,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Yes Jonathan did not, but watched a lot of commercials.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: I did watch a lot of commercials just because I
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: don't know, I don't do it the rest of the year.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: So look, there's so there's an art form to commercials
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: and a lot of times, maybe not for the Super
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Bowl commercials, but I know for like a lot of
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: more like local ads, there's a lot of collaboration between
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: the actors and the writers, which is kind of cool
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: because they don't always have the big staff that like
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: a TV show or a movie does. So I like
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: the art form I enjoy, but also apparently a lot
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: of the superb Owl commercials that I enjoyed critics did not.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: So we will spare you that.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: You know, it's funny because Ariel was mentioning some of
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: her favorites and I was like, uh uh, you know,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: according to this other article that I have access to,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: those are the same same commercials that they did not like.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: And uh, not to put shade on Ariel, but just
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: like I felt that the critics, because I didn't watch
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: all of these commercials, but I felt like the critics
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: who were specifically calling those out seem to have like
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: no sense of humor or joy because some of the
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: up some of the ones that I thought were genuinely
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: funny were being flagged as oh, this didn't work, like
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: the Michael Sarah one for Sarah V. Moisturizer. I thought
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: one it was a great send up of those styles
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: of commercials in the nineties, like the Calvin Klein ads
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: that kind of stuff, you know, those those obsession for
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: men kind of ads where it was all very arty
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: and vague, but also it was obviously Michael Sarah poking
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: fun at himself, and I just thought it was hilarious.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: And the ones I was looking at were like, nah,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: this didn't work at all, Like are you dead inside?
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: What happened?
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah? I mean and some of them, like some
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: of them are dumb funny, but you know what, I
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: like dumb funny commercials. If you can't make me chuckle
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: or go oh that's clever, you're not going to grab me. Yeah,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: But a lot of a lot of the commercials that
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: are worth talking about our trailers, so we will talk
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: about them.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, or they were trailers for trailers.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Yes, which we talked about this last year. It annoys
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: me to no end because if you're actually watching this game,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: which I do, mind you, the first half was boring,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: and after the halftime show, which was delightful, it picked up.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: And was a really good.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Game in the second half. But like, I don't if
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I'm watching the game and I'm watching the commercials, I'm
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: not gonna leave. So I have to like get on
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: my phone and make a note to go look at
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: the commercial later because I'm not gonna leave. Like door
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Dash also did a sweepstakes where you could win everything
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: that was advertised during the Super Bowl, which is a
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: really cool thing, including like an Uber Eats gift card.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: I know this is not really dorky, but I find
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: it cool. But you had to enter in this incredibly
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: long URL, which meant you had to watch the commercial
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: over and over or be like the best speed typer
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: ever to enter. And I'm like I started, and I'm like, no,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: I want to I gotta finish. I gotta watch the game.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: So yeah, that's how they get you.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: That's how they get you.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I I I find the I find the
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: trailers for a trailer to be really irritating. I don't
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: that that's an that's like a nine on the irritating scale.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: The ten for me is when you start a trailer
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: on YouTube and it starts with like a five second
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: like preview for the trailer you're already about to watch.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: That's the worst. Stop doing it. If it's like a
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: pivotal moment in the trailer that's going to be a
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: wow moment, don't show me at the beginning. I want
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: to see it as it unfolds in the trailer. That's irritating.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Stop it.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the trailers for trailers are on a trailer in
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: YouTube as a commercial are frustrating, which so we've talked
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: about before. I'm not anti commercial because it pays if
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: you don't want to pay extra price for your media,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: that's how they can afford to still make it. But man,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: when I turn on a short four minute YouTube video lately,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: and then I have to watch four minutes of commercial
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: to get to the YouTube video, it's frustrating.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so like, I'm I'm subscribed to the YouTube,
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: so I'm pay Because I was subscribing to a different service,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: it got pooreded over to YouTube, which means I don't
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: get commercials on YouTube unless I seek them out, So
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: I don't experience that. But it's funny because when I
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: watch a long form video where there are pauses that
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: have been inserted in, I'm like, oh, this is where
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: commercials would have gone if I if I had not
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: subscribed to YouTube. But otherwise I'm I'm unaware of it,
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: so I don't encounter that. But I can totally see
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: how that can be frustrating. It's kind of similar to
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: how on the web when pop ups started to become
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: a thing, and those were incredibly obnoxious, especially pop ups
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: that would auto actually start playing audio or video and
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: you'd have to like hunt around to be able to
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: close them out. The worst or the ones that still
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: happen where you'll go to a website and you start
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: to try and read something and the top margin suddenly
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: scrolls down and covers like three quarters of the screen. Stop. Stop,
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: you're just making us resent whatever it is you're advertising.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: It doesn't work, especially if you can't then close it now.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: I will say like front loading the ads works on
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: longer YouTube videos. So like let's say I'm watching a
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Critical Role or Dimension twenty or whatever. I don't watch
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: to Mention twenty on YouTube anymore, but when I did,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: it does work better for that because then I can
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: watch all the commercials at the beginning and get an
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: uninterrupted stream. Yeah, but are a less interrupted stream. But
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: on short videos it doesn't quite work as well.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: We could talk at length that YouTube's various advertising strategies,
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: but we've got a let's see, it looks to me,
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: based upon my estimation, a buttload of stuff to talk.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: About, yes, and not a buttload of time.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: So I think it's time for us to move to
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: our favorite segment and yours. I don't know if that's true,
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: but it's thirty seconds or less and I'm first, So
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: here we go. You can't keep a good pair of
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Charlottan's down. We're getting another and presumably final film in
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: the Conjuring series. Michael Chavez, who has directed movies in
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: that universe, already, is in talks to direct. David Leslie
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Johnson McGoldrick wrote the screenplay once he finally finished writing
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: his incredibly long name on the contract. It starts shooting
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: in Atlanta this summer, so maybe we'll see Ariel as
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: a giga ghost.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: That would be awesome. So Chune Rader one through three
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: has been mastered if you wanted to play those lovely
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: polygonal games. But in the remastering, the gaming company Crystal
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Dynamics has decided to not take out the harmful stereotypes
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: that were put into the first three great games, and
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: rather add a disclaimer at the beginning which says, rather
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: than removing the content, we have chosen to present it
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: here in its original form, un altered, in the hopes
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: that we may acknowledge its harmful impact and learn from it.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: I personally I understand if they don't want to change
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: the game that much. But at the same time, when
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: you're playing the game, you're probably not necessarily learning from
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: it unless they put subtitles like this is harmful, this
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: is why it's harmful as you're playing.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Maybe, But I mean Disney does the same thing for
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: some of their cartoon content that has not just cartoon content,
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: but some of their stuff that was made specifically, like
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: in the nineteen fifties and nineteen sixties and like the
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Muppets and stuff, Yeah, and the Muppets in the seventies
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: and eighties, where there's been some stuff that in our
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: modern approach to media we would recognize as being harmful
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: and should not have happened at that time. I don't know.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: I have feelings about this. I think I think it's
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: responsible if you acknowledge it and you allow people to
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: still make the decision as to whether or not they
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: consume that media. But to your point, I do understand,
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: like when it's happening, it's not like it's not like
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: you can have a deeper discussion about why was this
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: wrong then, and what have we learned since, and what
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: would be you know, the appropriate thing to do.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, maybe I don't know. Maybe a middle ground
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: would be if there's like a specific stereotype or injustice
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: that is shown, to put a little blurb about that
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: with a learn more here click, either at the beginning
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: or at the end.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: That's true in games, you can do that kind of thing,
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: So that is a possibility. All right, I apologize I
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: derailed it this this time. Here we go. So in
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: last week's episode, I mentioned that Leitsch had been tapped
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: to direct a new Jurassic World movie, and now he's
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: been untapped, so reportedly there was a difference in vision
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: between Leich and Universal. As a reminder, this new entry
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: in Jurassic World is said to be an entirely new take,
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: which suggests we will not have returning characters show up
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: trying to prevent the military from weaponizing dinosaurs, which is
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: good because that was dumb.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: I wonder if they're not going to be returning dinosaurs
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: in it.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it'll be Jurassic World, but no dinosaurs. It's
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: just the it's just the flora, none of the fauna.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: It's just the plants.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Well, it could be like all wooly mammi mammoths.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: That's too Jurassic Jurassic's too early for wooly mammoths though.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Jurassic Park no longer Jurassic.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Well, to be fair, like half the dinosaurs, more than
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: half of the ones that appeared actually came from like
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: the Cretaceous period, not the Jurassic period. But that's that's
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: an argument for a different time.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Yes, I derailed it this time, okay. Next Disney has
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: released art for and a release a premier date for
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: their original series Renegade Mel, which is about a young
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: woman who finds herself framed for murder and becomes an
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: outlaw in eighteenth century England and then you know, makes
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: friends with himpish characters and life gets crazy from there.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: No trailers yet, it looks delightful. It comes out on
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: March twenty ninth. This is something I'm looking for. Also,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: the artwork on the poster. The girl looks vaguely like
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: our friend Shay to me, so friend of the show Shay.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: All right, the show say she's legally changed her name.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, all right. Dan Trachtenberg, who directed Pray, is
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: in talks to direct a new predator film called bad Lands.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: This one is not connected to Pray, but it is
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: supposed to have a woman take on the lead role,
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: and it's also supposed to take place in the future.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: So apparently Pray really reinvigorated the franchise because now they're
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: a rumors of multiple Predator projects that are in early development.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: So could we get a Predator Cinemac universe please know?
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah? This second movie is going to be called Eat
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: and then the last one is it Love Stool Love.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I love that Predators Predators Eat Pray Love Trilogy.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: It's Pray Eat Love. It's anyhow Okay. Lastly, in our
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: thirty seconds or less, there is a John Wick Experience
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: coming to Area fifteen in Las Vegas, which is right
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: next to a Mega mart, which Jonathan and I have
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: talked about before because it's super cool. In front of
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: the show. Shay is also visiting.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she went there yesterday.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I always say that because Jonson told me yesterday.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: It's going to be kind of it sounds like it's
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: going to be like a mix between like the Stranger
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Things interactive experience and a murder mystery because or where
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: you get like assigned to character and you go in
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: and you interact with the other characters and go on missions.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Or something like that, or like the Spy Museum or
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: something like that. It sounds pretty cool. Hopefully you won't
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: have to, you know, shoot anybody in the face.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think. I think the setting is supposed to
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: be the Continental, which is the hotel that is featured
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: heavily in the various John Wick films. And yeah, I
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: guess by the end of it, you too will be
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: convinced that absolutely every single person who coexists in the
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: world with you is also a highly skilled, highly trained assassin.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: That's the best way to live life.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, John. The John Wicks series just is absolutely ridiculous.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: I love the action, but I'm like, how does the
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: economy of this world work because apparently everybody is a
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: trained killer? Yep, yep.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Gotta gotta send in those body count tokens yep to
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: do your laundry. Now we're on to our regular news,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: and we're gonna start with a very sad story.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, very sad story. Tragic, tragic story. It's actually personally tragic.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: It has has ripped a hole in Aeriel's heart because
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: while she is missed thing, she is not the thing. Yeah.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The fantastic forecasting has been announced and I am
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: not in it. I didn't even get an audition, but honestly,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. I like the lineup. Eben mossbackering
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: is like how I just like slid through his name
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: because I couldn't pronounce it correctly with my cold is
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: The thing which we kind of talked about was a
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: rumor last week. Joseph Quinn, who was Eddie in the
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: season three Stranger Things, is Johnny Storm, Pedro Pascal is
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: mister Fantastic, and then Vanessa Kirby. Vanessa Kirby is Sue Storm,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: who I I'm not as familiar with. I haven't seen
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: the stuff that she's been in, but I'm sure she'll
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: be great.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm actually quite excited about the casting.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: One of our friends or one of my friends anyway, commented,
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: I saw it on the Book of Faces that that
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: he was not super jazz to hear about Pedro Pascal
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: because he said he's over exposed to me. And I said,
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: would you say he was stretched thin? Because then it's
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: type casting.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: I you know, I was my only my only thing
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: that we keep me thinking from thinking Pedro Pascal is
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: totally something that I don't want put on me as
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: an actor, which is that his body type doesn't scream
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: mister fantastic to Me'm kind of more built for me.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: It's it's also the fact that we've already seen mister
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: Fantastic as John Krasinski. And you know, you could argue, yeah,
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: but that was a multiverse thing, right, Like, that was
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: a different multi that was different universe within the multiverse,
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: and in that universe he is read Richards. But I
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: would argue, maybe, but why are the other characters played
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: by the same actors where it's like the variations of
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: the different like characters, but they're played like like like
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: Captain Carter is still played by at well, So like
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: I don't get it.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, so it could be that John Krasinski didn't
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: have time or didn't want to be mister Fantastic, you know,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: mister fantastic all of a sudden, my brain just shorted
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: out there. Yeah, full time. And I know that, like,
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: which I would expect more in earlier days of the
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: MCU when they were putting people into these very long contracts, right, yeah,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: which we had talked about earlier, that they aren't doing
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: as much. You know, there's a myriad of reasons that
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: he could not be doing it. It could be that
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: they want to want a fresh start. It could be
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: that he went through a radiation field and got darker
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: and gruffer. But that being said, Pedro Pascal has like
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: has such a vast range of goofy, too serious that
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: I think he will do well in acting the role.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: Oh, I agree, I think he'll do a good job.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: It's it's no shade on Pedro Pascal. I really like
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: his work. I mean, I've seen him perform on stage.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Didn't even know it was him at the time. Nice
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: and yeah, he was in king Lear and I really
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: like his work. I enjoy his projects. But it's just
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: one of those things where it just kind of irks
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: me where they've already established an actor in a role.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: But then also, I got to get over myself. Marvel
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: has recast roles multiple times, so it's not like it's
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: not like I should really be upset about it, Like
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: they've done this in the past already, and so yeah,
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: I'll get over it. I'm sure. What I'm really excited
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: about is that we're finally going to get a Fantastic
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: four film. My hope is that we'll see a lot
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: more care given to crafting this film so that it's
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: an entertaining story. And I really I don't know why
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: I'm hoping this, considering the nature of the Fantastic Four
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: as powers, but I'm really hoping it doesn't ultimately lead
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: to a giant like PS three computer generated you know,
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: spectacle at the end where you don't feel anything because
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: nothing feels grounded or real.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I hope so too into your Marvel recasting thing.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Marvel also used to say that if you played one
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: character in the MCU, you couldn't play another. This is
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: another example of that being changed because Eben moss bachrec
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: has played Microchip in The Punisher, so, which is now
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: technically a part of the MCUH.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: So the Netflix series The Punisher. You mean, yes, okay, yes,
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: not like not like one of the terrible film versions
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: that were done before the Netflix series. No, which they don't,
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: they don't count in the MCU. They are. They were like,
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: it's kind of like the old Captain America movies and
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: stuff like that. They just that's before the MCU era.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: You say that, but I feel like nothing is off
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: limits because.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: I feel like you could see a reference to it
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: occasionally either sometimes I wonder if they are referencing very
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: old Marvel film moments, because there was one where it
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: was Henry Salinger's kid. I can't remember his name, but
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: he played Captain America. And the gag that I've I
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: remember is that he would fake illness in order to
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: get to draw people away from a car so that
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: he could then run onto the car and steal the
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: car and drive off. And he does it like twice
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: in the movie, and uh, and it's ridiculous. And I
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: want to say that in Captain America Winter's Soldier, there's
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: a scene where he does that, and I was sitting
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: there thinking like, is this just coincidence or are they
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: actually kind of tongue in cheek referencing this almost forgotten
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: about in Captain America movie.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: I bet it was. I bet it was purposeful. But
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: you know, the the X Men, I think when they start,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: like the X Men movie started pre MCU, and those
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: are being pulled in to the MCU.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: Now, yeah, yeah, we even we even got references I
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: remember in the first way back in the first X
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: Men film, not even before the days of Future Past stuff.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: When you get to the first X Men film, they
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: referenced the cartoon series, which we will chat about toward
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: the end of this episode, but they referenced the because
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: they had one of the characters from the cartoon series
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: who was not in the comic books in order to
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: have a character that they could very quickly kill off.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah. But speaking of X Men meshing with
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: MCU and all kinds of things being brought in, we
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: did get a trailer for the Deadpool in Wolverine trailer
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: doing the drinks to per Bowel, which means we actually
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: got a Deadpool in Wolverine trailer.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I thought this. I mean it was interesting.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: They pull in the Time Variant Authority, the TVA that
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: we saw in the Loki series, so they appear to
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: have a big part in this, and it seems like
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: at least part of the reason is because Deadpool does
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: have this ability to break the fourth wall, which makes
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: him not unique because She Hulk also does it, but
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: unusual and so first, for one reason or another, the
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: TVA has decided to visit Deadpool. Maybe it's because of
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: the way Deadpool two ends, which it has a little
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: bit of time traveling shenanigans in it. Yeah, that might
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: be why. But yeah, I'm.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: Does that possibly cause branches?
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: So yeah, absolutely so maybe that's going to be the thing.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: I still haven't seen Loki season two. I really need
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: to because I want to see how that TVA storyline progresses.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: I yes, I there are references to the end of
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: the series. I don't remember if it's in the Deadpool trailer,
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: but in something that I saw recently. So it's a
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: little slow. There are some episodes that are really good.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: There's some bits that are really good. I feel like
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: King's character in season two talks so slow that it
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: I get why he did it, but I just I
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: desperately wanted him to finish a sentence.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Well, if it makes you feel any better, he finished
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: his career with the MCU.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know what I'm going to say, that
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: doesn't actually make me feel better. I wish that he
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: hadn't done the things that he did so that he
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: could still have a career, because I don't like seeing
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: anybody fail.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, anyway, what do you think of the
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: Deadpool and Wolverine trailer? What was your reaction?
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: I loved it. I thought it was hilarious. I liked
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: how self referential it was. I was honestly surprised by
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: how much of the Disney MCU was pulled into it,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: though I shouldn't have been. And there was one like
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: very brief cameo appearance that I asked my husband. I
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: was like, is that And my husband's like, I don't
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: think so, but it was, And I was right.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't want to doom this conversation. But
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: was it a Doctor of certain malevolent renown? Yes? Yes,
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: I was wondering if that was Doctor Doom when I
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: saw the image of the armored masked man in a cowl,
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: and I thought, that doesn't look like Doctor Doom's mask.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: But this being a multiversal kind of movie, that totally
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: could be a Doctor Doom. Yeah.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So like I don't know for certain obviously, but
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: like some of our mutual friends who watch a lot
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: of movies also are postulizing that.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: So yeah, And here's the nice thing is that they
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: could totally. Well, first of all, you would expect a
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: Doctor Doom to be pulled into the MCU at some point,
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: because we are getting a Fantastic Four movie and that
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: Doctor Doom is traditionally their biggest villain that they face
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: off against. But also like Doctor Doom would not be
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: a bad shout if you wanted to either segue away
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: from Kang or just have something to supplement Kang so
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: that it takes a little of the sting out. Because
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: my guess is they're going to just do a full
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: recasting and that's and Kang is still going to be
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: the big bad for the end of this phase or
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: the end of these phases, because otherwise they have to
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: completely go back to the drawing board.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've heard recasting rumors. I hope that either in
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: Deadpool or the new Fantastic Four movie, doctor Doom has
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: a malfunction with the speaker function of his mask, so
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: he sounds like doctor Doom and the Roger Korman Fantastic Four,
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: which will forever be the best version.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: Of four, which is story. If you thought Bain was
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: difficult to understand, you haven't seen anything, because he really is.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: It does sound like someone speaking into a tin can
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: if you watch that Roger Corman produced Fantastic Four movie.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: And I agree, Ariel, that's genuinely an entertaining film. I'm
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: not even saying ironically entertaining, because they were clearly so
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: sincere with their approach that it is. It's really charming.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: Like it's super low budget. You got to get past that.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: The effects are not impressive.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: And there's a lot of tonal changes, but it's fun.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: It's a fun movie. Like when I first watched it,
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: I was like, this is better than the Fantastic Four
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: films that were coming, like the one that Chris Evans
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: was in, for example, I was like, this is better
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: than that. Yeah.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I quite enjoyed it, and not only because half
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: the time I felt like they were about to break
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: into song even though they didn't.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it did feel like it had the musical energy, right.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, But I'm very excited for this new phase
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: of Marvel. Like, well done, Marvel. Now I'm excited again.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: Speaking of I don't remember if I said this in
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: last week's episode. At one point in time, I thought
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: that the actress who plays Kamala Kon was in driving Dolls.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: That's not actually the case. It's an actress from Miracle Workers.
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: So if I that on the episode, I apologize profusely
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: for confusing them. They have similar eyebrows.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: But next up, So we got tons of teasers for
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: trailers during the Super superb Owl, and the next one
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: was I put it in our notes as trailer of
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: the Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes of the
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: of the because there's just so many of us but
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: no Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. We got
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: a trailer for it. And you know what, Ariel, this
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: is a series that I've just let slip that I
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: have not watched, even though I've heard lots of folks
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: that I really trust and I often agree with, talk
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: about how compelling and exciting these movies are, and seeing
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: this trailer, I was thinking, Man, it might be time
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: for me to finally like go back and start watching
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: these movies, because this trailer looked really good. Yeah.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: First of all, I want to say, even though obviously
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: the quality of these movies has improved, when I look
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: at the new overarching path of these Planet of the
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: Ape movies, I feel like I'm watching the same characters throughout,
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: So from the first one to this one, I don't
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: inside my heart, I don't feel like a tonal visual shift,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: which is really cool. Even though obviously the graphics have
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: gotten better. In the CGI, I agree the story looks cool.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: I'm very excited for this Witcher crossover. One of the
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: main human characters is Siri.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: From the Witcher.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: But even in the like the like the articles in
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: the log line I've seen for this trailer, they're like,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: the director has breathed new life into this franchise, And
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: you're right, it feels really good. Also, wasn't this story
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: done way way way back, long ago?
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, this feels like it's finally catching up
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: to the Planet of the Apes classic films, right, because
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: the Planet of the Apes films we've received so far
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: were really about how we get to a point like
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: how did that? How did the series of events happen
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: that would lead to a planet where apes are the
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: dominant species and humans have been reduced to being essentially
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: from the Stone Age, And so the the movies we've
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: seen so far were largely about the ascension of the
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: apes and the gradual decline of humanity. And this is
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: starting to feel like it's almost set the stage for
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: what would happen from those classic films where we have
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: astronauts coming back to Earth and realizing that something very
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: weird has happened.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Now I'm very excited about this. I think
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: I'm going to have to pick up the films I
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: did watch the very first Planet of the Apes, and
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: I liked it. Of the new series, the.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: One with Gollum in it, Andy serkis thank.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: You, it's the It's I had a cold this week
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: and even though im feeling much better, like I'm still
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: turning to all the synapses back on.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mean, we all know you're a blonde
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: at heart, So that's true. It was a terrible joke.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: I have to deeply apologize for making a terrible stereotypical joke.
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: I don't actually believe that, and I sincerely apologize it
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: was a dumb one.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: Look, I'm people also stereotype me as a redhead, even
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: though it's you know, not what comes out of my
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: head naturally. Don't tell anybody. But speaking of blondes, we
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: also got a trailer for Wicked.
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: That's true, and that show has a blonde joke right
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: in the middle of a song, right at the beginning
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: of a song, and it's a it's an undeniable blonde joke. Yeah,
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: we got the Trailer's what seemed weird to me, Ariel
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: is that having seen the stage show, knowing that this
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: movie is actually a pair of films and that the
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: story has been broken into two halves. There was an
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: awful lot of imagery that I saw in this trailer
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: that seemed to me like it would most likely belong
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: in the second half of the story, not the first half,
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: which made me wonder, why is it in this trailer
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: unless they've decided to go with kind of a non
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: linear storytelling where they're going to be jumping around in
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: the timeline, I don't know.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: Interesting. So I'm gonna be completely frank. I've never actually
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: seen Wicked. I've listened to the musical. I did see
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: one TikTok reviewer who hasn't seen it yet obviously just
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: watched the trailer talk about how they hoped that it
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: wasn't going to be the first half in the first
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: movie in the second half in the second movie, because
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: the second half of the musical is a slog you
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: sit through it is because you just got through defying gravity.
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it definitely doesn't have like the energy of the
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: first half, like all the big energy numbers are in
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: the first half, and the second half is it is
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: much dark, but it isn't like it it's not as fun.
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: So yeah, it would be kind of like, well, you
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: got all your fun moments in your first film, so
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: come watch the really agonizingly slow second film. I mean,
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: we've also both talked about how we don't understand how
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: there's enough material there to do two films. I guess
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: you could argue if you were adapting the original novel,
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: maybe there's two films worth of story there. But this
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: isn't the original novel. This is adapting the musical. Maybe
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: they bring in some elements that are in the novel,
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: but they can't do too much because I'll tell you,
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: the novel and the musical totally different, both in the
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: storyline and in the tone.
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: Well look, if as people know, I am soon going
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: to go watch rosenkres Gildon standard did in Canada, and
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: that is an almost three hour play with two intermissions,
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: and they made that into one movie. So if that
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: can be made one movie.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think. But then they made The Hobbit,
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: a story that you could read over the course of
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: a couple of nights, into three films, two of which
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: I saw on your birthday. So sorry, so sorry, neither
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: did I neither did I? We we would for Ariel's
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: birthday twice to go see The Hobbit two different years,
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: and and and it was so the second one was
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: so discouraging we didn't do it the third time. Yeah.
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: Well, look, it's just because Star Trek movies weren't coming
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: out on my birthday anymore. Because it was it was
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: the Lord of the Rings trilogy and Star Trek that
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: were coming out in December, which is great for me.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: It was great for me. I loved it. It was
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: a great tradition, and then it fizzled. I'm also gonna
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: say for the casting of Wicked, I am sure everyone's
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: going to do a great job. They cast a lot
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: of really powerful singers and actors and comedians. I think
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: doing Jeff Goldbloom as the Wizard is inspired.
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: They've got a lot of performers from the West End
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: who are taking up some of the some of the
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: many of the roles.
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But and this is not saying that she won't
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: do a phenomenal job. What they showed me of Ariana
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: Grande as Glinda in the trailer does not make me
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: feel like she is embodying the Glinda that I know
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: exists in the musical. She looks so sweet and kind
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: in the trailers of what we see of her that
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: like maybe she's a ditsy, unknowing blonde. But she doesn't.
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: They don't show any.
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: Of that pep like the mean girl popular one, the
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: character who is really picking on Alphaba for like the
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: first forty minutes of the play.
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: She seems anti Heather.
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was not blown away by what I saw
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: of Ariana Grande either. It didn't like I was giving
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: her the benefit of the doubt because I know she's
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: wanted to play this role forever. She even incorporated some
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: of the song Popular into one of her songs that
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: she did with Mika, you know, the one who did
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: the you know I Could Be Brown, I Could be
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: Blue that whole you know, she does a song with
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: him where they incorporated some of Popular into it. So
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: I knew that she had this long standing love of
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: the musical and a desire to play the part. But again,
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: based on what I saw, I was not impressed. Now,
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: we should also remind ourselves and everybody else that a
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: performer's performance in a film is a collaborative effort, because
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: the director and the editor also play a big part
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: in what we end up seeing. So this isn't to
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: suggest that she's a bad performer. I know she's not
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: she's done. She's done tons of acting. Before she became
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: big as a singer, she was doing acting. So I
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: don't want to suggest that she couldn't do the part,
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: but I was not impressed with what I saw.
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that isn't even saying that she isn't going
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: to do the part brilliantly. It's just the editing of
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: this first trailer, that's true. Now, she started on Nickelodeon
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: as like the comedic like the comedic best friend. After
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: I stopped watching that level of show. Yeah, so I
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: kind of missed her Nickelodeon face. I have gone back
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: and watched clips and she's very, very funny. But again
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: it seems more of like a sweet, genuine clueless funny,
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: which could work too. So this is not me. She
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: might do brilliantly. The first trailer just didn't show me.
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: That same something else we saw. This trailer really sucked
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: people up into the air. Yeah, we saw trailer for Twisters,
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: the sequel to the classic Helen Hunt vehicle Twister. Like
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: carry El Wes was in that movie. You know, there
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: were a lot of people who were you know, was
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: it Philip Phillip Seymour Hoffman. I think was in it too.
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: I haven't watched Twister in a very long time. It
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: has been years.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: You remember, you remember a lot more than I. And
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: I saw Twister at a drive in with the original
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: Jamungie while a thunderstorm inconvertible, while a thunderstorm was brewing
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: in the background. Wow, so that's my memory of Twister.
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: Times you had like the four D experience, like like
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: you would get at an amusement.
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: Park, which I've also done the Twister ride at Universal,
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: which I have not done that. Yeah, so a couple
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: of times less scarier than it was at the drive in.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: But I remember very little of the movie. I remember
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: someone tying themselves to a drainage pipe so they wouldn't
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: get sucked away. But it looks it looks like Twister.
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: I was gonna I was gonna say the same thing.
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: It looks like Twister, but with two.
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and with you know, obviously updated effects and stuff.
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: There appears to be a plot about potentially deploying a
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: technology that, if it works properly, could diffuse a tornado
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: so that it would disperse and no longer recavoc I
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: don't know if the tornadoes in this movie are going
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: to appear to be somewhat ch Yeah, because I was
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: getting that feeling in the trailer, right, like not that
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: they were going to be called out as sentient, but
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: because of the behavior of the storm that you start
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: to question, like, well, how would this work unless the
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: storm was actively going after someone Allah the day after
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: Tomorrow where you had the cold front chasing people down
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: roadways and stuff like. It was starting to feel like
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: there was a little anthropomorphism going on in the trailer
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: to me. But again, I could be reading way too
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: much into this.
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: I'll have to ask my niece, who is very wants
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: to be a meteorologist, if she's and recently took training
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: to be a storm tracker, like for the National Weather Service.
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: You can you can be like a you can be
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: like it on the ground citizens storm reporter. You see
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: something bruined, like if that's something like it could it
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: could just be completely coincidental.
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: Sure, but if it keeps happening throughout the movie, then
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: you start to question things. Right. But anyway, the it
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: does like it feels to me kind of like a
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: film that belongs in the nineties, Like it has a
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: lot of the elements I would associate with disaster movies
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: that came out in the nineteen nineties, just like you know,
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: Roadhouse would get in the reboot of Roadhouse and you're like,
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: and you're thinking, is this just another mark of nostalgia
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: where you start looking at properties that broke through like
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: thirty years ago, and now we're going to do them again,
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: but with maybe hopefully a better script and improved special effects. Yeah.
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, Lisa Frankenstein is well, it's an original story,
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: but it's based off of like the eighties stuff. Yeah,
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: I wonder we don't need we don't need a bunch
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: of that, But I understand why people want to refresh
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: properties for newer audiences. I do think that the Twister
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: franchise really missed the mark when they didn't call this
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: new movie Twisted Sisters. Yeah, Twisters.
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: I guess they're not gonna take it anymore. And what
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: we're gonna take next is another trailer, and this one
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: is turning the damsel in distress a metaphor on its head,
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: and it's called Damsel, Yes, and.
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: It we've talked about it before, but there's a new
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: trailer that just shows a little bit more of Bobby
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: Brown being super badass.
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well while trying desperately to avoid turning into a
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: shish kebab.
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So, if you didn't hear us talk about it before,
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: it's a Netflix movie that's coming out very soon about
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: this girl who it looks like from the second trailer.
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: Her father betrothed her to a prince because the village
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: or the family needs it or whatnot. And she goes
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: to marry the prince and they get her all ready
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: and they're like, we're gonna do this marriage ritual and
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: they throw her into a pit which contains a dragon
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: that they've done every so often to princesses to maintain
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: the safety of their village, which is not a new trope.
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: Right, there's right. Yeah, this is the plot to a
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: nineteen eighties era fantasy film called Dragon Slayer, where the
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: story is that they hold a lottery every year and
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: the person whose name is drawn from the lottery is
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: chosen as a sacrifice in order to appease a dragon
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: to not destroy their village a year after years. So
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: there's stuff in here that does harken back to other stories,
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: but obviously the big difference here is that the woman
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: chosen to be the victim ends up turning the tables
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: and is not going to go quietly and is not
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: going to take it lightly. Like she feels very strongly
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: that the people who decided to sacrifice her should be
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: held accountable for their decision. Yeah.
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: I was chatting with my husband about it, and he
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: was feeling like the trailer and maybe it's because pardon me,
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: there's not enough time in a trailer, but that the
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: trailer didn't show enough of her, like starting off as
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: maybe a more naive person. I'm like, she may not
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: have been. She might have been like the Bell character
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: of the village and the dad's like, no, you have
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: to marry this prince. We need it, you know. So
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: she might have already been street smart and just doing
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: what she was supposed to. But I guess we'll see.
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah we don't. Yeah, the trailer doesn't show us all that,
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: but then that's not the trailer's job. I think I
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: think it looks like it could be a fairly entertaining film.
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, even if it's treading ground that we've seen before,
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: especially if you're old like me and you've been around
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: long enough to watch movies like Dragonslayer, which I did
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: again just like two years Ago. Then maybe then you'll
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: kind of roll your eyes a little bit. But I
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: think it looks like it's well made, and I'm always
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: in favor of fantasy films that aren't necessarily a spin
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: off of Game of Thrones.
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: So you don't think that this is a sequel to
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: Princess Bride where Princess Buttercup has now grown up to
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: be the evil Queen.
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, even though it may be played by the
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: same actress, I hope that's not the case, because if
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: it is the case, then I do expect a nearly
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: dead ancient woman to show up and go boo boo,
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: you threw her ride that pit.
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: Although you say that isn't a spinoff of Game of Thrones,
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: there is a moment in the trailer where Robin Wright
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: as the evil Queen says you know nothing, yeah, and
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: she goes on to a different sentence. But I expected
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: her to say, John, yeah.
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: Well something that I don't know if you even watched it, ariel,
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: because I warned, okay, I warned you about it before
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: we we went. I saw a trailer for a Sasquatch Sunset,
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: which is it feels almost like a Wes Anderson film
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: about a group of bigfoot like a family of bigfoots,
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: big feats. But yeah, it's a it's a comedy, but
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: it's a raunchy comedy somewhat about these sasquatches. And I've
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: only wanted to put it in here because I was like, Wow,
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: this is unusual and it has to do with sasquatch
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: and cryptids can be a source of interest for among
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: the geek community. I don't believe in them, but lots
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: of other people do. But this looks like it's kind
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: of like a weird slice of life sort of comedy
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: feet turing these sasquatches as they are going through their lives.
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: And again, it does have a sort of Wes Anderson
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: sort of feel to it, although there is a very
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: raunchy joke very early on in the trailer that it's
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: one of those moments where like a narrator is speaking
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: a somber and deep thing and then suddenly it cuts
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: to two sasquatches attempting to make a third sasquatch. If
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: you get my drift, yes.
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, which honestly I expected it to be. I
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: felt it was an unnecessary joke. I understand why it
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: was there, but also it wasn't as bad as I
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: was anticipating, So yeah.
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: I only put it in there because I was just like,
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know this tone is. It immediately struck a
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: bad chord with me because it's not the kind of
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: thing I respond to, like, oh hah, funny, that's a
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: really funny gag that you did where you subverted expectations
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: by a quickly segueing from this sort of poetic experation
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: to a very non poetic moment. But it just reminded
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: me of like raunchy comedies from the early two thousands
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: that I never wanted to see. But the rest of
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: it felt more kind of wistful to me.
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, and it's also got a large cast of
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: very good actors who are not unrecognizable.
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, I couldn't tell who any of them were
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: until like who Riley was. Yeah, and when they when
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: they announced it, You're just like, I mean, maybe it
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: could also be someone else and I would never know.
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, there's like one person who is like, okay,
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: I can see it, but there are other people like no, no,
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: that's that's the guy from the the Guico commercials.
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Yeah, Well, we got tons of more
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: stuff to get through because so many trailers. Let's talk
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: about the very short but new Showgun trailer. I watched
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: it thought it looked good, like as in very well made,
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: Like you could tell a lot of money was spent
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: making this thing.
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: Yes, did it make you fearful? Of the things we
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: talked about last week about it being a white savior story.
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: There was only one shot I saw that seemed to
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: actually have the white character in it as far as
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: I could tell, So I would say this didn't. This
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: didn't increase my fears or anything. It didn't assuage them either,
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: because it's such a short trailer that I don't even
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: really have an appreciation of what I saw, apart from
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: I mean I expected to see some sort of vaguely
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: medieval Japanese military action.
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I am surprised that I am the most excited
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: person about this show in my household, but I am so.
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: I will definitely watch it, and if you don't, I
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: will give you reviews on it.
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: Awesome. I appreciate that. So moving on, because we've got
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: so many of these trailers, we're still got like we'll
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: pick it up. Yeah, we got like a dozen or
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: so to get through Godzilla x. Kong. We got a
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: new trailer for that. Ariel, you are the person on
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: this podcast who absolutely loves monster movies. What was your
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: take on this trailer?
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: So very very initially, I was like, why is this
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: coming out? Because it's Godzilla minus one had such brilliant reviews.
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: Why is why?
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: But it is completely different. It's a different world. It's
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: not in the same thing. The Godzilla versus Kong was
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: so dumb. It was fun. They were fun moments. I
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: loved seeing fighter jets being thrown like darts, but it
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: was a dumb movie. This one feels equally kind of dumb.
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: But I'm also like vaguely into it. I do like
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: the concept of this, this deaf girl being able to
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: communicate with Kong. I think that's great. She was great
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: in the last movie She's I'm sure she's gonna be
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: wonderful in this movie. The fact that they give him
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: like a mecha.
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: Fist, yeah, he becomes cyber Kong.
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: He becomes Cybercok is ridiculous. I I worry about there
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: being some like Son of Kong tropes in there, because
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: they show young young like apes and stuff, But this
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: does because this movie features Godzilla and King Kong fighting
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: together against the evil and it also has Dan Stevens,
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: who I love from Downton Abbey and Legion and a
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: bunch of other stuff. It leads me to hope that
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: the next one will be a lethal weapons style Godzilla
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: Kong buddy cop movie.
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: I watched this and I thought, this looks like a
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: chaotic mess and I'm not gonna see.
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: Yes, I mean, I will probably watch it at home.
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, this feels like if it's if you're gonna
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: watch it, it feels like you kind of should go
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: to the theater because it's a big spectacle movie. But
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: I'm not a fan of spectacle anymore. Like I need
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: more than spectacle to bring me to the theater. Like
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: I get people who say, oh, it's incredible filmmaking, like
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: it's so it's so in your face or whatever. They'd
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: make such good use of it. But for me, I
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: need a really good story. I don't care about the spectacles.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, the spectacle might be like I was impressed,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: but I'm not going to talk about it later. It
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: just doesn't. It doesn't stick with me.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: You didn't watch Pacific Grim either, did you?
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: I actually tried to. I literally tried to because I
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: noticed that was on one of the streaming services. I
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: can't remember which one, but I was going through and
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: I started watching it, and I got maybe half an
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: hour into it. I got to the point where the
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: young woman is chosen to be his partner and then
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: is summarily chosen to not be his partner, and then
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: I turned it off and I did not turn it
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: back on. So it didn't do much for.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: Me, gotcha, Yeah, I mean that I enjoy it, but
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: Ron Pearlman and Charlie Day really were like the shining
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: bits of that movie.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: To Charlie Day was the most entertaining part that I saw.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: But it seems like a similar level of story. I
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: can get behind you, spectacle. I wish this story had
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: a little bit more for me to hold on to,
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: but maybe maybe it will.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: And now, some horror movies, but they're not at the
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: end of the episode this time.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: Yep, that's good.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: I did group them all together, but it didn't put them.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: At the and you sandwiched sandwiched. This is not me
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: giving you crap for this at all, but you did
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: sandwich the one that was most acceptable to me between
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: the other two that are like my severe x.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: Well Ariel doesn't like apparently cannibalism or spiders, So no,
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: not first. Our first one is called Cold Meat, which
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: I said Cold Meat for all your Wind to Go
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: horror film needs, because it's a story that appears to
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: have like couple of people get caught in the middle
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: of like a frozen wasteland where they don't really they're driving,
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: and then they get run off a road and they're
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: not able to extract their car from the snow bank
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: they run into, and they're not able to like continuously
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: run the car, and meanwhile there's this incredibly cold storm
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: hitting outside. There's also some interpersonal drama moments. There's some
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: like violent people moments in there, and the narrator talks
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: about this whole legend of this spirit that drives someone
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: to consume someone else, which sounds very much like the
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: Wind to Go mythology. And I don't know, the trailer
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: looks it looks like it's an intense one. It does
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: fall into that genre of person is stuck in frozen
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: place without any real shelter. Like it reminds me of Gray,
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: it reminds me of Oh, there's a couple of these
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: that I've seen, and their names are escaping me. But
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: it falls into that kind of category. I don't know
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: if it's going to stand out, but the reviews that
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: they sit on the trailer Surprise Surprise, are really encouraging,
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: But then they're not likely to show ones of I
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: was bored to tears or it made me want to
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: eat my own foot off.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: I'm glad there's not that one. But it did look
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: it did look well, made it look suspenseful, but.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: It's not the one that was most acceptable to Ariel.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: For that. We have to go to a movie that
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: is inspired by the Pied Piper of Hamlin.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's called The Piper, and it's about this. It's
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: about Julian Sand's being a crazy, evil composer and when
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: he passes, one of his students takes over his work
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: and finishes his musical score and when you play it,
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: you go mad.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And so first off, rip to the late great
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: Julian Sands. He's the actor we lost last year. He
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: got lost while hiking. Very tragic into his life, but
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: he is someone you would recognize because he's been in
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: so many different movies. And when I saw him in
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: this trailer, I thought, oh oh, I didn't even know
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: there was another project that had him in it that
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 2: had not yet released here in the States. I thought
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: this trailer looked like it was trying real hard, but
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: it didn't do much for me, like I understand where
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: it's going from, like I can again, like you start
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: to if you watch enough horror movies, you start to
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: see kind of broad categories that horror movies can fall into,
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: like subcategories of horror. And this one feels like a
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 2: certain subcategory that I've seen a lot of, and very
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: few of those movies and that subcategory ever rise to
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: above mediocre. But maybe The Piper is one of the
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: ones that does it. We'll have to wait and see.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: Yep, we'll have to wait and see something that only
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: Jonathan will wait to see. Is the movie stick?
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: Come on, this is like a horror comedy. You'd love it.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: I tried to watch this trailer and the first time
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: they showed a spider on somebody, I went, I can't.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: Oh wow, so you didn't get to see the part
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: where the spider crawls into a person's mouth. Oh ha,
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: it's a big one too, A big spider that has
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: not a big mouth. I mean, it's a sizable spider.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: So this this is like a horror comedy, Like there's
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: definitely some comedic bits in the In the trailer, it
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: actually gave me a rachnophobia vibes, Like, do you remember
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: when we got like spider horror comedies for no reason?
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: We got a rack noophobia and we got eight legged
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: freaks like that was a thing for a while. Well,
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 2: this feels like it's again tapping back into that nostalgia stuff.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: It feels like it's tapping into that. And while there's
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: no one who stood out as overtly comedic as the
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: John Goodman character in Iraq Noophobia, there did feel still
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: feel like there's some comedy when Sting. So the basic
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 2: premise is that a young girl ends up capturing a
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: spider and puts it in a jar and befriends it
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: and names it Sting and even teaches it not to whistle.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: She whistles to it, and that it somehow is able
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: to vocalize and replicate the little tune. But then it
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: grows and then it gets out, and then your eight
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: legged terror ensues, And I don't know, I thought, I
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: like the trailer. I don't think it's going to be
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: a great movie, but I think it could be a
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: really entertaining movie if you are not totally creeped out
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: by spiders.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: Have I shared why I'm totally creeped out by spiders
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: on this podcast? I feel like I have.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: You might have. So. Ariel had to audition for a
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: movie and the casting director was a spider and was
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 2: really mean to her.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: No, no, no. I used to work as a janitor
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: and I had to clean the like a spider web
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: out of a doorway and there was like an egg nest.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: So I took the breastpam dustpam in the broom and
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: I squished it and it was I guess ready about
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: ready to hatch because it opened up in hundreds of
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: baby spiders crawled up my arm and the mom bit
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: me and took forever to heal, And it was just
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: I felt like I was covered in spiders for a while.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: I had the same thing happened to me, but with scorpions.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't like those either.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, it was it shoe.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: But but it does hit close to home because my
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: best friend my sister keeps jumping spiders, which are. They
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: can't bite you. They're not going to hurt you. Their
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: teeth are so small, right, I won't touch them. I
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: have learned to love them vicariously through her. I can
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: look at pictures of them without being freaked out. But
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to going to hold them and touch
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: them or whatever. But they will frequently catch jumping spiders
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: out in the wild, and so the story of a
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: girl catching a spider in the wild and then it
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: turning killer is could happen. It could happen to my friends.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: I don't want that to happen.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: John, Well, let's move on to something that definitely is
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: not going to happen, because neither of us know anyone
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: with superpowers. We also got a trailer for Invincible season two,
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 2: Part two. They broke the season into two halves with
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: a long hiatus in the middle, and the second half
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: is coming to us soon. And we got a trailer
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: where we got to see a little bit of a
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 2: hint of stuff that's coming up, including Omni Man being
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: held accountable by the Vitruvians for his failure to prepare
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: the Earth for conquest. You get to see some stuff
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: that's going on back at Earth with the superhero group
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 2: and we get to see what appears to be a
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: funeral for perhaps Invincible himself.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, which all of that sounds pretty grim. Honestly, this
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: trailer made it seem like the second half was going
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: to be happier than the first half.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, don't know why. We'll have to see because
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, it could just be they took the bits
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: that were the most comedic and left everything else out
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: for us to see. But uh, you know, we've both
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 2: been watching Invincible, We've both been keeping up with it,
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: so I'm still I'm very eager to see how season
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: two plays out. Like knowing the comic books a little bit,
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: I haven't read the comic books, but I read up
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: on them. There are elements of the story that was
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: told in the comic books that I'm very curious to
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: see if they are touched upon or if they play
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: out in the series.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, Something else I'm looking forward to seeing is
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: Disney's a limited Disney's limited series. I think it's a limited.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 2: It is Awaji, Yes, I don't know, like because they
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: don't say it in the trailer, Like I was wondering,
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: I was trying to find the pronunciation it's it's a
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 2: Nigerian story. It's said it's set in a futuristic Nigeria
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 2: that's very reminiscent of Wakanda in the Marvel films. It's like,
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 2: you know, much more advanced technologies, and uh, yeah, it
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: looks like it's a it's a an adventure story that
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: mostly follows a young girl who gets wrapped up in
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 2: some some criminal shenanigans, only because this crime boss has
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: I think a deep interest in her father. Yeah.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it looks really cute because it looks it looks
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: like it looks like Black Panther, but it also looks
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: more like Slice of Life, maybe a little bit parts
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: of it.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 2: It's it also features a robotic lizard that is capable
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: of turning into like one of the ThunderCats.
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but also the lizard has interest in eating, so
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: maybe it's like a cyborg.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe it's a Yeah, it could be a same
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: board lizard. I think it looks cute. It's I like
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 2: that Disney is trying to tell different kinds of stories. Now,
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: they obviously had some mixed results with that, but I'm
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 2: glad to see them trying, even though I'm sure that
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: this comes from a very corporate decision making process, but
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: it's still the result is still good. I want to
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 2: see more stories about communities that typically don't get this
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: kind of treatment in mainstream media.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, same. Something I didn't think I was going
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: to be excited for, but it turns out I'm very
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: excited for is the X Men ninety seven show.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: Yes, this is a continuation of the animated series that
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: was on in the nineties, and we got a trailer
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: for the return of this, so it's it's you know,
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 2: it's not taking into account any of the X Men
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: stories from the films or anything. It's literally picking up
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: from the animated series that aired in the nineties, and
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 2: so we're getting, uh that series. We knew about this
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 2: because it had been announced already, but now that we've
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: seen the trailer, it really does feel like an updated
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: version of that style of animation.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it still has the charm enough so that
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: I still have a crush on Oh my god, I
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: was gonna just left my head Gambit. Yeah, Bit, I
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: have it. I have a crush on Gambit and I
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: loved Jubilee was my favorite, so I was very excited.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, both of them show up in the trailer.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: Yes, it makes it makes me happy. Lastly, uh, kind
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: of Lastly, Xbox in Dune are doing some collaborations. So
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: we talked last week about how people are kind of
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: worried about Xbox being in some trouble, and they've done
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: some stuff to make people believe.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 2: That everybody's worried about Dune because of the popcorn bucket
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 2: that I fight because of them that I finally saw,
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: and now I understand, and now you understand.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: However, Microsoft is doing two things as a Dune collaboration.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: One is there's a levitating Xbox controller, which I can
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: only imagine is going to get knocked off of people's
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: end tables by so many cats.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's clearly using magnetic levitation in order to
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: have the Xbox sit on a little platform that hovers
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: above a base a pedestal. Very cool effect, Like it's
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 2: something that you like. It makes me think of stuff
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: you would see in like the Sharper image or whatever.
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 2: But it's that sort of thing. And they're running a
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: contest actually where you can win one, and I thought
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: about entering it until I saw that in order to
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: enter it, you have to go on Twitter and you
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: have to follow them and retweet something. And I'm like,
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: I quit Twitter ages ago because it turned into to
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: a really hateful place and I don't want to do that.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 2: So I got out and I read the rules just
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: to see if there was an alternative way to enter.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: As far as I could tell, there's not. Like, Nope,
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: I'm not doing the Twitter thing. Don't judge anyone who does.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: If you want to do it, that's that's totally cool.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: It's just I am not going do Yeah.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The second bit of Dune Microsoft crossover is there's
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: a free expansion for Microsoft Flight Simulator, which I didn't
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: even know still existed. Yeah, where you can learn to
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: take off land in free fall in Pauly Tranty's ornithopter
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: from Dune, the like the dragonfly looking aircraft before.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: Going on a bunch of missions, and that you're actually
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: flying over a simulated aracus. Yeah. So the Microsoft Flight
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 2: Simulator it has enjoyed a huge resurgence because Microsoft put
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: in so much work to make very realistic simulated models
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: of airports all around the world, so you can learn
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 2: how to fly different types of aircraft and actually take
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 2: legitimate flight routes between airports and in real time pilot
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 2: your craft. So if you wanted to do a flight
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: from Atlanta to Los Angeles, you could do that and
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 2: it would look a lot like what it would really
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 2: look like if you were flying it.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you definitely shouldn't get behind the wheel of
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: a plane after you do that because you can't account
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: for things like wind shear.
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 2: And I mean, they simulate it, but it's also you're
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: not feeling any of the turbulence when you're you're playing
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 2: a simulation. Also, you're likely, unless you've spent a lot
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: of money, you're likely not using the uh, you know,
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: realistic controllers and display systems that you would encounter in
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 2: an aircraft, so you're using, you know, obviously the simulated
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 2: versions of that. And anyway, I thought that they are racus.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 2: Thing was really cool. It was a neat, neat sort
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 2: of a collaboration. Not something that I was expecting, and
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 2: I watched the video of it and it was it
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 2: was neat.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I look forward to them adding more stuff like that.
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: That's about it that we have for now. We might
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: be taking another couple of weeks of breaks just due
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: to some travel that we're both doing. But if you're
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: wanting geeky stuff during that time if we aren't able
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: to do episodes those weeks, just giving you a heads
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: up for the next couple of weeks. I told you
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: guys earlier about my friend's game, Shadow City Mysteries A
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: Clockwork Noir that they're building. Well, now it's on Steam.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: You can put it on your wish list and the
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: elevator pitch for it is. Shadow City Mysteries a Clockwork
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: Noir is a single player, third person narrative adventure game
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: that is Blade Runner by way of Lovecraft Country set
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: in Frank Millerson City with a new game plus twist.
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: It looks really cool. I know the people like I
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: personally know the people who are working on it. They
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: are freaking amazing at game theory, at game rules, at creativity.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: I've larped with them, I tabletop with them. One of
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: them even wrote the class of character that Erykah played
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: on World Beyond Numbers like legit. I am super excited
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: about this game. I normally don't like promote stuff, but
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: put it on your wish list because it'll help them
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: If it sounds like something that is interesting to you,
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: so you can look into that.
