  Speaker 1: Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Large and Her John Collider Podcast,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: the podcast that's all about the geeky things happening in
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: the world around us and how very exciting we are
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: about them. I'm Ariel casted, and with me, as always,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: is the delightful Shoonathan Strickland.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: I'll co host your podcast for three thousand dollars, but
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: I'll edit and post.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: It for ten dollars. Ten dollars. I'll take it ten
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars. Well, guys, this has been great. It's
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: the last episode. We're gonna stop right now. I don't
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: have ten thousand dollars.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Making I'm making a goofy reference to a movie that
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Ariel and I both watched because we were in the
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: same room while it was on. But that that actually
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: leads me to a question I have for you, Ariel.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, golly, one of these days I'm gonna get you all.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: You didn't say anything, so I went ahead and wrote one.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: This one, This one I have not shared with Ariel beforehand,
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: so it's okay if it takes you a moment.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: To think about it taking one year.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: But we did have a weekend with several of our
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: mutual friends in celebration and early celebration of my fiftieth birthday.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: And so my question to you is what was.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Your favorite thing or moment during the birthday cabin weekend.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: That's so hard because it's like almost picking like my
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: favorite person. Well, clearly that's me because it is it
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: is my birth it is your birthday. And also you
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: are my longest standing friend out of everybody there, so
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I have two. It's hard because, like, I really enjoyed
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: when we got to do things with everybody, but outside
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: of watching Jaws, which you know, I like, I like,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: but I don't love, Uh, there wasn't anything that we
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: all been together. There was, like we had meals together
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: and stuff, but oftentimes there's one person off doing something else.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: So I liked getting up in the morning and having
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: time to chat with you because you were the earliest
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: riser and I was the second earliest at like consistently.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: And everybody else would be in bed for another like
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: two hours.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, and you know, we don't get to hang
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: out in person a whole whole lot because of busy schedules,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: So it was just absolutely delightful. But I also really
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: liked we played several games and I really enjoyed playing
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Just One. I also loved Rings and Things, but Just
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: One was easy and delightful, whereas Rings and Things was challenging.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, So Just One is a game in which
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: each player has a little a little stand that also
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: serves as a whiteboard, and when it's your turn, you
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: draw a card and you don't look at it. You
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: put it on the stand so it's facing away from you,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: and the card has five word choices on it, and
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: you just choose a number between one and five. That
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: number represents whichever word is on that card. The other
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: players have to provide a one word clue to the guesser,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: and they have to write it down on their little placard,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: and we have to do it independently of everybody else.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: And if in that process two people have picked the
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: same clue, they cancel each other out. They can't show
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: that clue to the guesser, so the guesser then opens
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: their eyes, reads the clues, and then gets one chance
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: to guess whatever the word is. We actually were pretty
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: good at it.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I think it helps that we're all the
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: same kind of nerd. And then honorable mention was any
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: time that I was cooking in the kitchen and other
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: people were also cooking in the kitchen. I know that
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: can be infuriating for some folks, but I love cooking
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: with other people, and so while I enjoyed cooking for
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: other people, if other people are also cooking, it feels
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: like community and I love that. Yeah, we did.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: We fortunately didn't have any instances of people getting in
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: the way of anyone else, because if that happens when
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: I'm in the kitchen cooking, I mean, you know, my
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: demeanor changes rapidly. I like, ripped the skin off my
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: face and have a fiery skull, and I'm like, why
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: do you task me?
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: And then we use his head as a habachi girl?
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a little barbecue. Yeah. Yeah, it was fun. It
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: was a nice cabin. The views were spectacking, beautiful.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: The hot tub was fine. I used it twice, but
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: as a group, we only really used it once.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: I wanted to use it again, but you used it
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: in the morning and then we didn't have time at night,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: because I honestly think that we could have used a
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: few more days there.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just to get if I had realized I didn't
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: realize it at the time. I didn't think about it
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: that it butted up against the June nineteenth Juneteenth, and
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: I get Juneteenth off from work, so I could have
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: gone one day earlier, and I could have made the
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: reservation last an extra day. Although considering how much well,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: considering how much food I brought up, and because we
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: didn't know how bad their drive up to the cabin
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: was going to be, so we didn't want to have
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: to go back down the mountain if we didn't have to.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Ariel actually did do a grocery store run. I loved it.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: I got to drive through Blue Ridge. It was delightful.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Everybody had to listen to my show tunes out of
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: my sun roof.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: But you know, when we were like, we weren't sure
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: that we wanted to do that over and over. So
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: I tried to bring as much enough food to last
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: us for six people for the entire weekend. And the
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: thought of having to add another couple of meals on
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: top of what I brought is I love to to say,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: like that would.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Not have been fun. I think if that had happened,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: I would have offered to cook a couple more meals.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I probably already should have.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Beca tells me that next time we have to have
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: it where each person takes a turn.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Either each person takes a turn and or like I
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: think we could you guys, I don't know if this
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: is interesting to any of your listeners, but we're gonna
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: talk about it anyhow. So haha, we probably could have
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: skipped breakfast just because everybody wakes up at such a
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: different time. I love communal breakfasts. I think the last
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: time we did a cabin trip, I did waffles for everybody,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: but it ends up hitting around lunchtime, like a little
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: early for lunchtime, so it ends up being a late breakfast,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: early lunch, and then a late lunch early dinner, and
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: then it's late. Yeah. So we only had two meals
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: a day a couple of those days. Yeah. So I
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: think having like a fend for self like Becca. Becca
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: made the awesome breakfast cast roles, So something like that
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: where like you can just eat it when you get up,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: no prep needed for breakfast would be good. Maybe, like
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: so was.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Supposed to when I was doing the pancake assembly line.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Which was delicious. Oh my gosh, you're such a good
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: pancake maker, and I was so grateful for it. But
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: it's a lot of work, I get it, and then
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: maybe for like lunches doing like sandwiches or easy.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the tricky part for me is that, like I
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: would love to have done sandwiches and just gotten like
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Deli meat or whatever, but I can't have that because
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: it's got too much sodium in it. So that's where
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: the trick is is that if I'm not making the food,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: it's always riskier for me, just on sodium levels.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: How do you feel about like egg sandwiches with lettuce
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: and tomato.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're great if you can put salt on
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: them there. If you can't, then it's like, oh, thank
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: you for the sulfur sandwich you.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Just handed me. Yeah, I mean next time, next time
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: people can take a turn. I'm happy to my car
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: handled it fro My AC went out that week again,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: but it had nothing to do with the dirt roads.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: It had a faulty compressor. So I'm happy to make
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: runs because I like off roading.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the rest of us were a little less enthusiastic about.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: It, but but yeah, it was a really wonderful time.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: What was your favorite moment?
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: I think I think you know, well, there was lots
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: of them, because, like you say, it was hard because
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: we didn't really have a time where all six of
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: us were engaged in something at the same time. It's
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: usually four or five of us, and then one or
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: two of us would all be doing something else, like,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: for instance, karaoke. It was most of us except for
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Becca because Beca doesn't do karaoke, so we did karaoke.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: That was a lot of fun.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Jack Box, it was even fewer of us, Like I
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: always think jack Box works best if you have at
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: least five people, but we only had four.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I wish. I wish your partner had not
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: been taking a nap because they're very good it jack Box. Yeah.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm glad that people got a chance to rest
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: and recuperate. And that was kind of the whole point
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: of the weekend was for it to be a pretty
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: chill affair, and we had lots of different things as options,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: and we only tapped a few of them. But honestly,
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: that's fine, Like it would have been better than if
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: we had only had two things to do and no
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: one was really into it.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: It just means now we need to have a game
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: day to play some of those other games of folks.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Friend of the Show Shay, who was there, has suggested
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: that she might host such a game day in the future,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: so we'll keep our eyes.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Out for that. I'd also be happy to host. I
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: might have a little more space than Shay, that would
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: be cool. All right, Well, let's move on from the question.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: And now now I ask you, because I didn't see
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: it in the document, did you watch anything geeky ish?
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: I added it as we were talking. So, yes, we
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: watched Jaws because it's Jonathan's favorite.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: And it's also fifty years old, just like Meze.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Yes, it's also fifty years old. I love the filmmaking
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: of Jaws. I think Spielberg did a great job with it.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Speelwork right, Yeah. I just the idea of being attacked
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: by a shark and no one helping you is scary.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: So the beginning of the movie is less for me.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: But I really like a lot of the interplay. I
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: like talking over each other stuff like that. So for
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: the most part, I enjoyed it. And then I watched Love,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Death and Robots my group watch finished up season one
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: of that. Because I've never seen it. A bunch of
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: my group has, but it's been forever and they're all short,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: so you forget them. There was an episode in it
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: called Phish Dreams in which someone gets eaten by a shark.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I've already watched Jaws this week by a
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: ghost shark. But it's fine. That show is. I did
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: not like It's Love, Death and Robots. I didn't expect
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: it to be as an as adult on the love
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: side of things as it is. I expected some of it,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: but a couple of the episodes were a bit much
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: for me. I'm not gonna lie. I've also been keeping
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: up with Cloudward ho which is the Dimension twenty dropout
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: actual play. It's steampunk ish steampunk air travel exploration. It's delightful.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: I'm absolutely loving it. The first episode is a little monkers,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: but it's very good. The characters are great, there's some
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: great bits, the world building is wonderful, and the air
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: the air battle is fun. And then I watched this
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: week's episode of Smarty Pants, also on Dropout, which is
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: basically the improv game of slideshow but funny and Demi.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Demi because I've heard his last name.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: But unless I'm looking at it and I don't have
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: it pulled up, I can't pronounce it correctly. DEMI did
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: a presentation on on rebooting the movie Big, and it
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: was hilarious because it was really commentary on nostalgia banking
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: in film and how we should let people have their
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: own discovery in film. But it was but it wasn't.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: But it was also like, hey, I also love Big,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Let's remake it in this horrible, funny, hilarious. It was
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: just very good. It was just very very good. Yeah,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: it was fun a movie that has a truly problematic
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: element to it. Yes, well, which he did address address.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you have to. It was hilarious. It was
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: just it's very funny. I recommend I recommend his season
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: two Smarty Pants presentation. Yeah, and other than that, I've
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: been playing a little bit of balder skate and kept
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: catching up on some housework.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: So yeah, Jaws obviously for me too. My favorite part
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: of this most recent viewing of Jaws is if you've
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: seen it, you know what I'm talking about. But it's
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: the moment when Hooper jumps into the water in snorkel
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: gear to look at a boat that is a drift
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: in the ocean, and as he's looking into a hole,
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: the decapitated head of one of Jaws's victims floats into view,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: and friend of the show Shay, freaked out so hard
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: that it reminded me, oh, yeah, this is a scary part.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Because I've seen that movie so many times. I'm not
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: scared by it at all. I'm still scared by it.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: I'm still scared by Jurassic Part two.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Well, I've seen.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: It so many times that that doesn't it doesn't phaze me.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: But so I enjoy it for the performances in the
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: movie making. I don't find it tense or scary because
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: I've just seen it too many times. But I still
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: really love the movie. But yeah, that was just a
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: reminder of, oh yeah, this movie is scary. She didn't
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: know that was gonna happen. The other thing I've watched
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: is the first two episodes of season three of Squid Game.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: So there's six episodes total. I've got four more to go.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: It's I mean, it's a harder watch than it ever
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: has been before, and it was really easy one.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say that's that's quite the accomplishment.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, like, so if you watch Squid Game
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: season two, you know that the season ends before the
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: games have ended. And so season three picks up where
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: season two left off, And so you've got a dwindling
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: number of players, which means that the remaining people you
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: care about and the remaining people that you really hate
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: are kind of concentrated. You don't have as many, just
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: like other random folks thrown in there. Right, So I
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: am happy to say that in episode two, one of
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: my two least favorite characters did bite it.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: The other one is still around.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: And actually, I guess there's three that I really don't like,
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: but and two of them are technically still around. But yeah,
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: I I'm curious where this is gonna go. So I'm
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: trying to avoid spoilers, but I've already run into one, unfortunately,
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: and which is wild because I'm not even on social
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: media anymore. But just doing research for this show means
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: that sometimes I'm popping on sites that have a headline
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: that it contains a spoiler. By the way, that's a
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: spoiler for one of our stories today. But anyway, Squid
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Game episodes one and two of season three were compelling.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: I look forward to finishing out the series. But that's
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: about it. Everything else I've been I've just been really
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: busy working or you know, watching like you two videos
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: or whatever, nothing particularly geeky.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Recovering from our vacation.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, recovering well, Like the vacation was a lot of fun.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: If I hadn't had to cook so much, it would
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: have been more relaxing for me.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: It wasn't bad.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Like, I don't want to say that I was stressed
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: out the whole time, but like, I want to make
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: food that people enjoy, so I put a lot of
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: pressure on myself when I'm making food, and I feel that. Yeah,
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: I think everything I made was okay at least okay
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: to pretty good.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Right, So everything you made was delicious, Jonathan, thank you.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: But anyway, yeah, it is kind of a come down
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: to come back. But the nice thing is I had
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: so many leftovers that I haven't had to make anything
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: this week.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: That's really nice. I have had to cook this week.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: I brought home some leftovers, but not not a huge amount.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: But hey, hey, in one more weekend. It's another long weekend,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: that's true. Yeah, it's a fourth of July and the
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: beaches will be open. Woo. Just just to have your shark.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Repellent, yeah, have your bat shark repellent, have your bat
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: shark repellent.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Have you ever watched the nineteen sixties Batman movie, the
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Adam West Yes movie, Oh yes, yeah, because he has
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: he has the bat shark repellent in that one. It's
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: also that's also the one where he has the line
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: that's something like, you know, some days it's just impossible
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: to get rid of a bomb or something like that.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: It's great. No, I was just gonna say that version
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: of Batman has my favorite Riddler, so of course I've watched. Yeah.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, let us move along to thirty seconds or
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: less because we have a huge number of stories for
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: thirty seconds or less. But the nice thing is we
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: won't be dwelling on them. We will we will go
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: through as quickly as we can.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Yes. So the first I start, huh because Jonathan put
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: me first. There's no really holl about it. Okay. So
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: the first is that we're getting a new TV show,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Very Young Frankenstein, based off of mel Brooks's Young Frankenstein,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: which is a hilarious movie. If you haven't watched it,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: it's one of my favorite of his. Honestly, it is
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: going to be the showrunner is Stephanie Robinson. And the
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: pilot director is Taiko Atiti, which is in Garrett goshkir
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: the team behind what we do in The Shadows. So
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: that's exciting because that's also a very fun show that
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: deals with kind of spoopy stuff. I don't think it's
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: going to be mel Brooks as a young guy, younger guy.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: The current theory is that it's going to be like
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: the grandson or whatever of not mel Brooks, the grandson
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: of Gene Wilder's character, so Frederick Frankenstein. Yeah, so I'm
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: tentatively excited about it.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Well, The Hollywood Reporter published an article revealing that John
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: the Punisher Burnhal will be joining the cast of Spider
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Man Brand New Day. This is interesting because Brenthal has
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: vocally argued that The Punisher should be an R rated character,
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: you know, someone who's willing to inflict extreme violence. That
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: doesn't seem to mesh that well with Spidery in my opinion.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: So there are also rumors that this one could feature
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: multiple villains in the story and maybe even a Hulk
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: or two.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Exciting if if you don't like New School Spider Man
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: but you like old school, well you're in luck because
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Fathom Events is bringing the Sam Raimi Spider Man's back
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: to the theaters. You can see Spider Man one, two,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: and three on concurrent nights, so either the twenty sixth,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: twenty seventh, and twenty eighth of September or October third, fourth,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: and fifth. I couldn't have said that in a more
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: awkward way. The very interesting thing is that the second
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Spider Man will actually be Spider Man two point one,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: which is a four K extended cut, that it's going
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: to be debuting in theaters for the first time ever.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: So I remember seeing the original Sam Reimi Spider Man
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: in theaters and it was exciting because it was kind
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: of like new at that time. So yes, when it
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: came out, it was new, you know what, like the
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: whole like swinging through the buildings. It was so well
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: done and anyhow, it was quite an experience. I may
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: go back and watch them actually, because that sounds like fun.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Switching to DC, James Watkins will direct the Clayface live
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: action feature, and Welsh actor Tom rees Harris will play
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: the titular role.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: The Ruber plot is that a workhorse actor in B
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: movies injects himself with an experimental substance to stay relevant,
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: you know, like in the Substance, and that turns him
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: into a monster, you know, like in the Substance. So
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: why didn't they just get to me more?
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: She's already done it. Why didn't they just name the
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: substance Clayface? James Bond's new director has been announced. It's
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: no longer Broccoli is VILLAINO Phillip Dennis Dennis v of
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Dune and Arrival and Blade Runner fame. I can't talk today.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: That's how often can I talk on the show anyhow. Yeah,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: he's going to be directing the new Bond. I think
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: I really loved Arrival. Of all of his films, that's
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: my favorite that I've seen. I hope that he's able
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: to make it less slow than his normal pacing though well.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Captain Kirk will be resurrected for a comic book series
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: called The Last Starship. This is the Kirk who previously
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: shuffled off the Mortal Transporter back in Star Trek generations.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: That Kirk's been dead since nineteen ninety four, with all
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: other Kirk stories being prequels. So what brings him back
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: to life? Meets me, But he wakes up to find
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: the Federation on the verge of collapse. So he commented,
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: there's a starship with an all new crew to fix
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: things or die try and again.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: BBC got into a little bit of hot water is
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: not the right word. People were upset at them because
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: one of their headlines gave away a plot point, a
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: minor spoiler, minor major. I don't know, it was minor
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: to me about the end of Judy Gatt was doctor
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: who he retired after this current season in the finale,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: and there was a reveal and they ended up putting
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: that reveal in a headline. They've now said that they
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: will be more mindful, but they also said, like, we
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: trust our reporters and if it's important, we're going to
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: put in the headline. So it was kind of like
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: a salty apology.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they not to dance around the issue.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: They gave away who the doctor regenerated into. So yes,
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: the actor who's playing the Yeah, anyway, Yeah.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: We don't always still don't have a huge amount of
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: what's of information on that. Yeah.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: Sarah Michelle Geller gave an interview to Vanity Fair about
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: the upcoming Buffy reboot. Geller will reprise the role of
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Buffy and there will be a new Slayer played by
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Ryan Kira Armstrong. Geller says her dream is to quote
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: bring back everyone who has died quote from the original series,
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: so that could include and this is a spoiler alert
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: if you haven't watched Buffy, Aunya, Tara, Joyce, Cordelia, Winifred, Jenny,
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: and hey, do you notice how all those names are
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: for women? Joss Whedon? What a feminist? Sorry, I had
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: to take a second to move on from that frustration.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Okay, Noah Gardner and Aiden Fitzgerald are writing Magic the Gathering,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: the movie I previously have worked on, apparently a Power
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Rangers movie, and an Aquaman spinoff called The Trench, and
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: a thriller The Patient, and a TV show called Trancelors.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: I tried to look up their IMDb because often that
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: helps me figure out what else they've written, and I
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: either didn't find the right ones or they don't have
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: a lot of credits, which is not a bad thing
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: to me. I like lesser known talent really getting their shot.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Here's hoping they can make a cool movie out of
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: the game.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: In an interview with Rolling Stone, James Gunn shared his
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: opinion regarding why the film industry is having some trouble.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: He said, it's dying not because people don't want to
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: see movies, but because quote, people are making movies without
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: a finished screenplay end quote. I think you can look
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: at Marvel and see some of that going on. You know,
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: movies get greenlit before a story's actually finished. Sometimes that
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: can work out anyway, but most of the time it doesn't.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: So I'm with gun on this one. Me too. Steven
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Spielberg often doesn't have problems with people seeing his movies,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: and that's good because he has said at a recent
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: theater dedication to him that he never, ever, ever, ever
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: ever plans to retire. He's going to be come back
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: as a zombie and continue making movies. Forty seconds yeap.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: Legendary Entertainment is producing a live action Street Fighter film,
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: and so far the cast is well that as diverse
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: as the video game series is.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Actually.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: Orville Peck, the masked country music star and recent MC
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: and Cabaret, is set to play Vega. Jason Appuaman Momoa
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: is playing Blanca. Noah Centennial is ken w w e
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Wrastler Roman Reigns is a Kuma and Rapper fifty cent
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: has been tapped to play pro boxer Balog Kital Sakurai
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: will direct, and I am intrigued me too.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Sadly, no Ral Julia rest in peace. Disney has reported
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: they're making Li Lo and Stitch to live action. This
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: is not a surprise. The movie did very well, although
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: some people at our weekend cabin were a little salty
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: about the live action version of it, to say the least.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: I still haven't seen it. I hope that. I think
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: the cartoon had a couple of sequels. I kind of
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: hope they tred new ground. If they're making a second
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: live action se well.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: Considering how the live action film ends, they've got a
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: lot to answer for.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: But I we'll go into it further.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: Well, it's been forty five years since the first Friday
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: the Thirteenth film came out, and that's the one where
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: Missus Vorhees sought revenge for her not quite drowned son Jason.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: Of course, Jason would become the focus of all the
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: future films all the way up to the two thousand
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: and nine reboot, but he has rested easy since two
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: thousand and nine, but not anymore.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Mike P.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: Nelson announced he has filmed as short titled sweet Revenge
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: that we'll see Jason return on the Jason Universe YouTube
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: channel late this summer.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: That is it for our thirty seconds or less? Yeah,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: a whole bunch of stories.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: So we've got a munch also in the stuff that
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: doesn't fit category, and some in our movie lineup, some
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: of which are are our lineup rather some of which
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: I would argue would better fit in the stuff that
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: doesn't fit category?
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Do you want to move any of that over?
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: No, We're gonna do it the way it's written, and
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: I'll just be I'll just be a jerk about it. No,
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: it's because there's some stuff that's like I don't like.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: There's there's an adaptation of a historical fiction novel that
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: is it is a historical fiction, but it's not like
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: fantasy or science fiction. It does have some elements to
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: the filmmaking that kind of evoke those feelings, but it's
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: not supposed.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: To be magical. I think I know what you're talking about,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: and I will have a rebuttal for you. The only
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: one that I think could have moved into stuff that
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: doesn't fit and I meant to move it there because
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: I was just adding stuff quickly.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: Was the trailer for Roofman, but Roofman definitely could fit
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: in there. Yeah, all right, well, well it doesn't matter.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: We're gonna go with what's already written down because I've
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: got my notes in that order, and if we change it,
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: I'll have to scroll back and forth. So first up,
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: I put in a trailer for The Strangers, chapter two.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: So chapter one came out back in twenty twenty four.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: The original The Strangers, I think came out in like
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: two thousand and eight.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, But in my brain, I'm like, either either the
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: original came out a lot later or this one has
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: already come out, because I feel like we've talked about
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: the first one more recently than this.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: We talked about chapter one because that trail because it
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: came out last year. So one, Chapter one came out
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: last year, and I was complaining at the time that,
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: at least based on the trailers, chapter one looked like
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: it was pretty much the same as the first The Strangers.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: Which is also weird because if the first one should
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: be called chapter one, this should be chapter three.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Well, actually it'd be more than that, because there were
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: other direct sequels to The Strangers, the one that came
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: out in two thousand and eight, so this is kind
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: of a reboot trilogy. This is the second one in
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: that reboot trilogy, although the director has said no, it's
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: set in the same like timeline as the others. So
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: apparently there's something in the water at this remote rural
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: location that just drives young people to becoming sociopath killers.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: But yeah, so if you're not familiar with The Strangers,
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: the basic premise of both the original film and The
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: Strangers Chapter one, two different movies. The basic premise is
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: that a couple is in a house and they are
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: terrorized by three young people who are like total sociopaths
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: who are torturing and killing them for no reason. Like
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: they literally say, the reason we're doing this is because
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: you are here.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: And you know, from like a meta textual level, it's
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: kind of like looking at the world in a post
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: nine to eleven lens, where you know people are dying
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: for what seems to be no reason, and that's what
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: this film is kind of about. Well, Chapter two sees
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: the female character from the first chapter from chapter one,
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: uh waking up in a hospital, but the hospital has
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: now been mysteriously emptied of hospital staff and instead there
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: are psychopaths stalking the halls, And as I watched this trailer,
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: I was like, this looks dumb to me.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Thanks, I hate it.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't find it particularly scary. I also didn't
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: find it compelling. I just find it like like, it
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: makes me ask lots of questions, like, how do you
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: get to a point where you can empty a hospital
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: of everyone unless it's literally an abandoned hospital and you've
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: somehow managed to get hold of the unconscious person and
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: brought them to a different place than where they were
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: supposed to go.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: Hey, you figured out the movie. That's possibly it. I
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: don't know. The film is quote unquote coming soon. Yeah.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: You also put in a trailer for train Wreck balloon Boy,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: which is about so back in the annals of history,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: not that two thousand and nine recent history. Right after
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: The Strangers came out, there was a guy who made
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: a giant, like giant UFO looking weather balloon and launched
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: it into the air and then said that his six
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: year old had climbed up inside it. It was in
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: this balloon and the balloon was not being controlled, So
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: that was a pretty scary thing. And then it turned
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: out to be a hoax, and now there's a documentary.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so this is part of the train Wreck series.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: There's actually a few different train Wreck documentaries that are
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: on Netflix already, so this is one of the most
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: recent ones. It's coming out on July fifteenth.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: And yeah, so.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: There was this whole thing where the police were investigating
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: after the balloon finally came down to the ground, but
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: there was no child found aboard it, which scared people
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: again because people were wondering if maybe the child had
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: fallen out at some point, and like the whole nation
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: was focused on this, like this was dominating the twenty
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: four hour news cycle over the hours when it was happening.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: Like I remember people at work taking time to watch
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: this story instead of doing work because it was so like,
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: you know, you were hoping that the kid's okay, and
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: it turned out the kid was hiding in the attic
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: the whole time.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: And then.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: The kid later actually essentially said to police that the
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: idea was he was supposed to hide in the basement
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: and this was all for it, quote unquote the TV show.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: And so this ended up having like an investigation going
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: to the parents and accuse them of misleading public officials
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: and all that kind of stuff. The parents pled guilty,
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: and then later the dad recanted that that he had
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: been pressured to plead guilty, and then the wife had said, no,
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: like here's proof, here's like instructions that he wrote down.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: Then he says, oh, I wrote that down after the fact,
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: Like it's just a bunch of crazy misinformation stuff going
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: back and forth.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: A train wreck.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: Would you say it was a train wreck? And so
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: that's what this documentary is tackling, is not just the
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: story of the initial like spectacle, but the fallout that
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: happened as a result of it.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so that'll be interesting if you like documentary shape stuff.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Less interesting to me, honestly, is the trailer for Ice
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: Road Vengeance, because you would think for a sequel to
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: Ice Road, you would have icier roads. There is an
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Icy Road at the end of the trailer, Yes, but
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: it should be I also name your sequels better, so
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: this one should be Ice Road less Icy, No, nicy.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: I didn't even know this was a sequel. I didn't
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: know there was a previous film called Ice Road.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: Maybe maybe there isn't. I thought for sure that Lee
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: so it stars Liam Neeson, and I thought for sure
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: that he did some other ice based Taken type movie.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: I mean he was, he was in that Wolf movie.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: But oh there was The Ice Road, a twenty twenty
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: one action thriller that was an hour and forty three
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: minutes from all of those pictures. It's a very icy landscape.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: Was Liam Neeson in that one too? Yes, he started
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: that one I had, so it is a sequel. I
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: had no idea to that movie. I saw this trailer
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, this has Taken meets Speed,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: and the original Ice Road looks like Taken meets Ice
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Road truckers, so gotcha.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this looks dumb, like dumb, dumb, dumb, like not
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: even fun dumb. It's it's coming out. Well, it came
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: out today, June twenty seventh, is one recording, and it
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: came out today and some quote unquote select theaters comes
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: out on video on demand on July first, which should
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: tell you everything you need to know.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: I mean we didn't see anything about it prior.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I just I watched this trailer and I
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: thought this, it's reminded me of all these other movies
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: like Taken, Speed and Nobody, the Bob Odenkirk movie.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: It reminded me of that.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: Too, and none of it didn't look like it was
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: doing anything better than those movies have done.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: So maybe I'm wrong.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's just a trailer that doesn't resonate with me,
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: but I think this is one I'll be giving a miss.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: I just wanted to include it because I thought it
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: was so ridiculous.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, for sure, Like I said, ice, ice road
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: less icy no nicey. Yeah.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: Next up, we have a trailer for a movie, and
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: I told Ariel not to watch this trailer. So Ariel,
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: did you watch this trailer?
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: So going through before we started, remember you watching everything
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: or watching the new stuff, because we'll add stuff last
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: minute sometimes and throw each other off. I clicked on
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: it and got five seconds in before I went nope, nope,
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: this is the one I wasn't supposed to watch, and
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: I turned it off. So okay, good. I know it
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: affected the adults and not the children, and that's it.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: Yes, okay, so you know a bit of the premise.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: So this is Please Don't Feed the Children is the
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: name of the film. It's a to be original. It
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: also comes out today and I told Ariel not to
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: watch it because she has one of her ick factors
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: is cannibalism, and there appears to be some cannibalism in
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: this movie. It's at least hinted at if it's not cannibalism.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: The trailer is incredibly misleading, but it's like a post
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: apocalypse picture where some sort of pandemic has swept at
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: least the region that this film is taking place in,
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: and it affects adults but not dren and so some
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: of the adults who have survived this pandemic now blame
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: children for being like carriers but not suffering from it.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: Like they said, the children are the reason why this
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: is happening. So this group of kids makes an escape
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: from where couldn't say, but they're making an escape, and
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: they come across a secluded house run by a pleasant
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: english woman or a seemingly pleasant english woman, who welcomes
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: them in even though she says she's not supposed to
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: let children inside her house, and then she proceeds to
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: drug them and plan to do awful things with them,
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: potentially grinding one of them up into meat, which she
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: then serves in pies.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: So it's vaguely handseling, gretelish, and vaguely sweeny toddish.
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it looks like she views one of the
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: young girls, young women, as a potential replacement for her daughter.
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: Like that seems to be a part of it too.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: Giancarlo Esposito plays a supporting character in it. I have
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: to say, Okay, so I watched this, and you know,
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: to be originals tend to be pretty darn low budget,
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: you know pictures, they're not really that that elaborate. And
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: keeping that in mind, I watched this and thought, this
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: trailer doesn't look terrible to me. I don't know that
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: I'm going to watch it, but it looks like it
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: could be at least a decent horror picture.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: But I'll have to watch it. I could do it today.
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: I have to watch it if I want to find
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: out have fun with that one. The last one, though,
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: I thought, was one that you might find interesting.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: Definitely, and it's one that I think, based on our metrics,
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: should belong in our normal show notes.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: It could go either way. I debated on this one.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so it is for a movie called A two.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: And if that sounds familiar, it's because it's about putting
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: on a really bad like Julius Caesar kind of play
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: a director who can't watch his own play because he
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: thinks it's so so bad and also thinks his wife
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: is having an affair with the lead actor in it.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: But there's more bizarre and nefarious stuff actually going on. Yeah,
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: so this is a dark comedy thriller film. Lou Diamond
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: Phillips plays the aggrieved director who who finds he makes
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: me think of the director from Noises Off, who's just
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: becoming increasingly frustrated with his cast, who he feels are
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: butchering Shakespeare. He's like, there, we need them to do
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: something that is worthy of the play of Shakespeare and
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: theater general. Also, Malcolm McDowell is in it. He plays
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: a janitor who appears to have some dark like advice
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: for Lou Diamond phillips character. I love Malcolm McDowell. So
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: as I was watching this, it was like, I can't
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: quite get my finger on how much of a of
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: a comedy this is. Like, there may just be a
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: lot of dark humor and it's not really a comedy.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: The feeling I get is it might be somewhere in
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: the heathers category. Yeah, I think so too. So this
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: premiered back in twenty twenty three and did the film
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: festival circuit. So the reason we're talking about it now
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: is because it's getting an actual release.
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, on July twenty fifth. It's a digital release, so
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's going to theaters. I think it's
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: going to be video on demand. But it comes out
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: July twenty fifth. I think it had some very limited
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: release in some theaters, but it didn't come.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: Here select theaters starting on July twenty fifth for showing
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: dot net, So I guess we'll have to see. Yeah.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: But yeah, that that one I think looks appealing to me.
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: I like the trailer.
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it looks. It looks it looks thrillery but
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: also fun. Yeah, not a heart wrenchingly horrific. Yeah, which
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: is a very different metric for Jonathan and I so
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: like to take true.
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it takes a lot to wrench my heart. Actually
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: doesn't take a lot. It just takes the right thing.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: Like if it's like, if it's something where it's like
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: a sweet story about you know, a child and their pet,
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: then forget it. I'm gonna the water works are coming
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: on immediately, So for sure. Well let's let's move on
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: to what is in our actual lineup. And keeping in
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: mind that the barrier between that and the stuff that
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: doesn't fit is getting hazier with every episode. But we
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: start off with another trailer for I Know What You
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: Did Last Summer? I know that. I We're supposed to
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: kind of avoid just talking about trailer variants after week,
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: but this one gave a bit more information about our
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: potential victims. Yeah, no, young people who did a stupid
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: thing by running down either yet another supernatural fisherman or
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: perhaps the same one from the original films.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: We don't know. Yeah, I did, really what this It's like,
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: it's like those old fairy tales. And I had a
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: friend recently tell me that current generations don't know fairy tales,
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: and I refuse to believe that's true. But it's fairy
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: tales were originally a cautionary tale, Like we're cautionary tales
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: if you didn't know, And so this is a cautionary
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: tale of if you do something wrong, fess up to it.
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, don't try to hide it and run from it.
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: So in both the I Know What You Did Last
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: Summer original film and in this reboot, it has a
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: group of young adults or teenagers kind of hard to say,
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: because I mean everybody who's playing a teenagers in their
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: mid to late twenties. Anyway, They're in a car and
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: they're not really paying attention, and they hit someone who's
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: walking on the road who's dressed in like like like
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: period New England fishermen gear, like not the kind of
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: stuff you would see a typical modern person wearing. And
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: then they they make it a hit and run. They
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: flee the scene, and then like the next year, they
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: get messages saying I Know what you did last summer
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: and they're being stalked by this unstoppable killing machine. We
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: also got to see a lot more of Freddie Prinz
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: Junior and Jennifer Love Hewitt, who were both in the
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: original I Know What You Did Last Summer, so they
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: were apprising their roles. They're playing the same characters, to
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: the point where Jennifer Love Hewitt even does a new
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: take on her famous line what was it like what
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: are you waiting for?
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: Line?
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: As if you're asking, as if I know I was
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: asking because I was trying to jog my own memory.
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: Okay to say I did not watch the first I
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: will not watch the second. It's it was also parodied
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: in scary movie and Scream, right, no love Scream. Honestly,
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: Scream came first, and then I Know What you did
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: last summer was kind of writing on the coattails of Scream.
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: So Scream kind of brought in a new era of
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: slasher movies, which had largely kind of been dormant before
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: Scream came on. And then you had a lot of
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: different movies that tried to cash in on that same
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: kind of aesthetic and story, and I Know What you
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: did last summer was one of many that did that.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: And I've always maintained that It's It's it does not
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: compare well to Scream. Scream is a better movie and
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: a better movie franchise generally than I Know What you
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: did last summer. That being said, I still got a
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: soft spot in my heart now what you did last summer,
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: because they had some fun kills in it, and you
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: had some great like actor Sarah Michelle Geller was in
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: one of those. So yeah, yeah, I do like, I
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: do like the cast. I just I haven't. I didn't
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: watch Scream until like the last five years. We put
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: it on for a Halloween movie. So now I've seen
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: Scream one, two, and three, three. He's my favorite. Yeah,
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: so you saw it. You saw it in the last
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: five years.
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: Does that mean you watch the movies backwards and then
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: you are half the movies backwards, you watch the other
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: half of the movies forwards and it meet in the
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: middle as the last five years.
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: Joke, I probably could for as much as I follow them.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: Uh, that's a joke for our musical theater fans out
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: there and everybody else.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: I apologize, And I realized it's controversial to say I
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: like the third Scream the best, but it's the goofiest,
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: so it's the least scary, so it's it's the most
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: fun for me. It's the last.
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: It's the last one I've seen. I haven't watched the
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: more recent maybe that maybe I saw four. I can't
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: remember if I saw four or not. I know i've
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: seen the first three. I will I will try to
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: watch some more of them.
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: I am gonna have to start doing like parental review
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: or something like that, just to make sure that I
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: do that for scary movies to determine whether I can
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: watch them or not, like, because it will outline the
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: scary things that happen, and I can determine whether or
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: not those are going to upset me too much or not.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: But yeah, so I did. I thought I thought Scream
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: was because I know what you did last summer came out,
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: So thank you for correcting me. Yeah.
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: So yeah, it looks okay, like you know, I guess
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: if you're into that kind of slasher movie stuff, this
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: looks like I mean, it certainly looks like it's a
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: well produced movie. I can't say that it's it's grabbed
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: me enough for make me want to watch it, because
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: I just feel that I feel like there's not enough
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: to those films to really pull me in, to hook
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: me to was a pun. I don't think there's enough
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: to hook me to watch. I know what you did
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: last summer, but I do think it's it looks like
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: they spent some decent money on making it, so there's
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: that at least. We also got a trailer for season
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: two of Wednesday, which was kind of cute.
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's again like we've got a few things
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: that it's not the first trailer of. And I know
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: he said, like Johnas said, we weren't going to do
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: much of those, but the ones this time at least
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: give more information. So this one is actually kind of
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: like a commercial for the Academy that Wednesday goes to
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: Nevermore with the new head of the Academy, who is
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: played by Steve Bushmi. I want to say, he looks
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: less awkward the.
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: Older he gets. Yeah, his character name is apparently I
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: think Barry Dort is what he says. I didn't have
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: credit close caption on, so I'm not entirely certain, but yeah,
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: and he talks about how he wants to return the
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: school to its outcast roots, and I thought it was cute.
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: I thought it was weird because it feels like the
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: entire trailer is done in adr like. I don't think
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: any of that sound was picked up on set. It
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: seemed like everything was a recorded line that was matched
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: to the mouth movements of the original take. Maybe I'm
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: wrong about that, It just felt that way to me.
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: I still watched the first season of Wednesday, and the
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: people I talked to who have seen it tell me
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: they're like, the performances are fun, but the story. They
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: didn't like the story very much, And so I just
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: haven't gotten around to watching it. But I'm hopeful that
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: the second season will be better. I know that Jenna
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: Ortega took a much more active role in developing the
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: story for season two.
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm excited solely for that reason because I watched
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: about half of the first season. The storyline was fine.
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: It was generic GoF teenager academy drama, which I say
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: because we also got like Sabrina and you know, a
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: bunch of other stuff like that. So the storyline was okay.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: The acting was good exception of Mortitia and Gomez, which
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: those are two phenomenal actors, and I just felt like
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: their chemistry was lacking.
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: Which is like, that's like you've got to have that
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: lightning chemistry between those two because you have to be
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: convinced that they would literally do anything for each other.
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: And it's it's not even that I didn't believe that
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: they wouldn't do that. I believed that those characters love
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: each other. And I think that the two actresses who
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: are two actresses, the two actors who played them are
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: like I said, very very good. I think it's maybe
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: it was missing like some quickness, quippiness, or some verve
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: or just just lacking. There wasn't a comedic edge there.
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm curious about season two. Maybe I'll watch it
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: and not even bother watching the first season, or maybe
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: i'll like read like a synops. I know that One
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: of the other things one of my friends said was
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: that in in fact, I think it was Shay who
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: had said that there was some behind the scenes issues
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: with one of the actors, and uh, like there was
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: like a love triangle thing set up, and like there's
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: two potential love interests, and the one that ends up
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: being the bad guy ended up being the actor who
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: is actually a pretty decent person, and the one who
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: ended up being the actual love interest ended up being
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: an actor who did some things that were not decent,
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: which means that unfortunately, like the casting of that means that, well,
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: you've got to figure out what you're going to do
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: in season two if you're not bringing that actor back
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: and you've dispatched the actor who was it was a
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: decent person, but playing the bad guy.
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's Wednesday, it's Adam's family. You can undispatch somebody.
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: But that is unfortunate to hear. I do, I do.
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: I didn't hear any of those rumors about bad behavior
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: on set, so I do believe them.
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I to be clear, this is also like third
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: hand information at this point, Shaye told me something, and
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: I could be completely misremembering, so I don't want to
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: throw her under the bus either. I could be misremembering that.
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: I do remember reports saying that Jenna Ortega didn't feel
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: there was a need for a romantic interest or storyline
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: or something like that in season right now, that I agree.
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: I agree with that. I agree with that too. That
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: also could have changed since that article came out, but
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: I guess we will have to see or at least
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: read about it. We also got a second trailer for Weapons,
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: which is the new Zach Kreeger movie.
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is the one where the children get out
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: of bed in the middle of the night and then
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: go running out across town with their arms spread off
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: to the sides and turn Yeah. It turns out it's
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: seventeen children who all belonged to the same classroom at
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: the local school, and those are the only ones who disappeared.
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: So of course suspicion turns on the teacher, who seems
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: to be innocent and just as concerned about what's happening
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: with the children as everybody else. But of course she's
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: the one who's in the crosshairs because she's the common
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: point between all these children. This trailer looks pretty spooky
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: and scary. We also get to see another person who
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: wants to turn their face into hamburger using a fork,
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: so it's not just the female character. There's a male
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: character who's doing it in this one.
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: Yep. I I like that these trailers are doing a
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: good job of slowly releasing like little bits of tidbits
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: more about the story to let to give you a
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: better idea of what's happening with it. Doesn't feel like
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: it feels like they aren't ruining the story. Yeah, they haven't.
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: They haven't given.
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: Away the secret right Like, yeah, I I still feel
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: like I could go and see this and still be
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: surprised by the reveal. Same same, except you'll never go
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: see it.
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: I acted this one.
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: I might, Oh, Okay, I was just gonna say, like,
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: no one's going to see this one. I know Shay
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: won't because it has children being put into.
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: Danger, so I I will have to do a parental review.
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: And then you can get back to me. So this
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: one comes out August eighth, so we've got a little
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: time to determine. I think I'm gonna watch it. I
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: also liked in this trailer, there was a moment where
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: there's like, assuming this all happens in the same span,
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: because you can never tell a trailer's right. They can
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: splice together different things and make it look like it's
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: one scene when it's really two separate parts of a movie.
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: But it looks like there's two adults just kind of
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: staring motionless down a hallway, and then there's a line
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: of salt between them and a young boy who is
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: slowly moving to cross the line of salt. And I'm like, well,
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: that's kind of interesting that have the line of salt
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: because obviously that's like a common trope in supernatural stories, right,
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: that that salt provides a barrier of protection between you
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: and a supernatural evil. So I thought that was interesting
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: to have that little detail thrown in there too.
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that Yes, I'll chat more with you about
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: this movie afterwards so we can determine if I want
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: to see it with you.
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: Sure, I don't blame anyone for I mean, this looks intense.
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: It looks like an intense film.
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: So I know it also looks very like suspenseful. Yeah.
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: Becca's not going to see it with me.
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: She noped out after the first trailer, Shaye's not going
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: to see it with me because I wouldn't want to
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: torture her.
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I have friends who nope out over completely
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: different reasons for movies, one of those being any movie
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: directed by Yes, You're the most thank you. Yeah. Another
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: name I have to pull up so I can pronounce
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: it correctly. Uh yeah.
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: So Yorgos Lanthomos, who directed Poor Things and Kind Kinds
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: of Kindness, has a new film coming out, Bogonia, and
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: like Kinds of Kindness, it has two of the actors
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: who appeared in that movie, Emma Stone and Jesse Plemmons.
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: They were both like, I'm getting the feeling that Lanthomos
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: is another one of those actors who kind of accumulates
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: a roster of actors that he just really likes to
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: work with, Because, like Willem Dafoe has been in multiple projects,
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: Emma Stone's been in like four of them at this point.
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: She was in The Favorite, she was in Poor Things,
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: she was in Kinds of Kindness.
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: Was she in the Lobster? No, I don't.
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: I don't think she was in the Lobster, but she was.
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: She's been in four Wait, if you count Bogonia. So
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: do you do you want to take a stab at
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: saying what do you think this movie is about? Based
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: on the trailer, Uh.
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: It's it's about you guys who believe that the CEO
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: of the powerful female CEO of a comfort company is
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: actually an alien and so they abduct her. Yeah.
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: So Jesse Plemons plays one of those two guys. Emma
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: Stone plays the CEO character. There's some narration from Jesse
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: Blemons about worker bees and queen bees, which is interesting
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: because at least in bee colonies, those are all female
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: only the drones are male. Yeah, and yeah, the whole
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: alien thing is wild. It looks like it's another sort
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: of either a thriller with some dark comedy elements, or
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: you might just call it a dark comedy. It's it
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: looks weird, but then so does all of Lanthamos's stuff.
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: Like Lanthimos just makes weird movies.
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and not necessarily very uplifting, although some people
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: would argue that some of them are. I the only
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: one of his movies that I have personally watched is
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: Poor Things, Because I and that movie. You would say, Ariel,
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: that movie's not really for you, and you would be right. However,
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: from a acting standpoint and listening to Emmastone talk about
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: the way that she developed her character and had to
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: go about acting her character, I felt like I needed
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: to watch it as an actor, as like a educational experience,
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: and it was really impressive.
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: She also came up with her dance in that she
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: does in Kinds of Kindness while she was working on
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: Poor Things, because she talked about she did this, I
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: think it was on Fallon. She talked about how in
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: between shots she'd be in a different room just waiting,
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: and she likes to keep her energy up by still
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: moving around a lot, like not to sit down because
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: then she has to get her energy back up for
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: shooting scenes and stuff. So to move around she would
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: just do stuff like like just do a wacky dance
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: or whatever. And her friend caught her doing it on
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: camera while she was in Poor Things costume, makeup, hair,
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: all that stuff. And then if you watch that video
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: which she shared on Fallon, it's almost exactly what she
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: does in the Kinds of Kindness scene, Like if you
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: watch the trailer for that, you probably saw a sequence
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: of her dancing in a parking like like a little
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: parking lot and I was just like, oh, Lanthamos apparently
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: saw the video and said, we're gonna put that in
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: the next movie.
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: Nice. Nice, I didn't see kinds of kindness. I have
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: to read.
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: That's a wild one. It's so it's three separate stories
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: with actors playing different characters, but it's the same actors, right,
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: So like Plemon's plays three different characters at least three,
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: as I recall, and the stories are only of connected.
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: So it's almost like a h An anthology of three
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: independent stories. And they're all I mean, they're all Lanthema's stories.
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: They're all weird. H yeah, yeah, uh. Interesting fun fact
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: from watching drop Out. Krtey Katie Merovitch's favorite movie is
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: like the Killing of the Sacred Deer, Killing of a
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: Sacred Wow, that's that's hard to watch. I think. I
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: think I'm recalling that correctly.
• 59:29
  Speaker 3: Wow, that's I mean, props, props, I guess. But that
• 59:33
  Speaker 3: is another one I haven't. It talks about an animal dying,
• 59:38
  Speaker 3: so obviously I have not watched it.
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: Well, it's it's more complicated than that, but yeah, I'm sure,
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: I'm well, it's it's anathemas. It certainly is more complicated
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: than that. Uh, but yeah, very interesting, but the log
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: line for it is interesting to me. I'm not gonna
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: lie I include it because aliens.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I mean totally. Like Lanthemos is a director
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: that I feel like I should like his work more
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: because it's so it's very it's visionary, and it's bold, right,
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: Like it's not it's not your normal stuff, but it
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: also does. It's also it's challenging, which is not a
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: bad thing, but sometimes I feel it's directly challenging you
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: to like it. Yeah, Like I dare you to like
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: this movie.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't know that I'm up for that.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: Dare Yeah, Now I I have to I have to
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: double check myself about Wow, well yes she is, she
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: is public Okay. I wanted to make sure that Killing
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: of a Sacred Dear was Katie Marriwch's favorite movie because
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: I said it was and it is. Anyhow, the next
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: movie we have is called The Roofman. Uh, Fighter of
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: the Floor Man. No, it is called the Roofman, but
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: it has nothing to do with always Sunny Day Man
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: nightmaan No, but it is based off a true story.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: About kind of like a convict con man who is
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: not very good at it but is also very smart,
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: who escaped prison and hides out.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so this is a story about Jeffrey Manchester. And
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: if you were watching the news back in the day,
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: Jeffrey Manchester made a name for himself because he would
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: he would break into places by cutting or drilling a
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: hole through the roof of the place, us getting the
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: nickname the roofman, and dropping into places, and typically it
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: was a McDonald's like he did. He robbed a lot
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: of McDonald's, like I think, like a couple of dozen
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: different McDonald's locations over the course of his criminal career,
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: and he would hide and wait for the morning shift
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: to come in and wait to hear things were going
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: before he would pop out with a gun. He would
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: strive to be non violent and apparently very polite, but
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: he would ussure people to go into the walk in
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: freezer and lock them in there, even asking making sure
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: that they were dressed warmly so they wouldn't suffer. Then
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: he would rob the place blind and then make a
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: break for it, and they called him the roofman because
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: he was always coming in through the roof. He eventually
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: got caught sent to prison, he escaped prison, this is
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: all true, and then he ended up moving into a
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: Toys r Us. He was hiding out inside the Toys
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: r Us and essentially slowly robbing the Toys r Us
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: while also planning robberies elsewhere while incorporating himself into the
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: local community. And this film is essentially a retailer of
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: that story while taking some, you know, some some dramatic liberties. Personally,
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: my favorite thing about this trailer was Peter Dnklidge.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah it does. It stars Channing Tatum and Peter Dinklage
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: and Gosh, I can't remember the Thord person. I mean,
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: stealing is bad, right, you shouldn't you shouldn't steal, you
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: shouldn't armed rob things.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: Kirsten Dunst. Kirsten Dunst is the person I was trying
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: to think of. I was like Claar Dain's, No, that's
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: not who it is. It's Kurston dunt who is in
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: Spider Man the Original. Uh, the Samuraimi. I don't know,
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: there's probably Spider Man's before that, but the Samurai Spider Man.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: She was in that. She was Mary Jane.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, don't stealing is bad? Armed robbery is bad, but
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: if you're gonna do it, I mean, I can't understand
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: why they've made a movie about this, because it is
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: an interesting story. You know, one being a super night
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: like you're robbing, but you don't want to hurt people.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: You are hurting people by stealing from them. You're hurting
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: the corporations, but you don't want to hurt individuals, right,
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: and then moving into a toys r us It is
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: a bonker's story. I completely understand why they would have
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: made it. Sure, but it's also interesting because Channing Tatum
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: also did Logan Lucky, which is also about stealing from
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: a corporation. It's a very good movie. I highly recommend Logan.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: We should remember that when we're talking about McDonald's, you're
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: stealing from the franchise e. Yeah.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not stealing from the McDonald's corporation. You're stealing
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 2: from yeah whichever business person. Yeah again, I am not
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: condoning stealing now. Granted, if they could just get those
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: gosh darn ice cream machines working, maybe we wouldn't target
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: them so much.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: Those freaking freakin' ice cream machine gremlins.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: I actually did an episode about that in tech stuff
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: to say, to talk about why those machines are never working,
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: and like that's a I mean, that's a whole nother racket, y'all.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: It's interesting. But yeah, this looks like it's taking a
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: slightly tongue in cheek approach to telling the story and
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: considering again that he tried to avoid violence as much
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: as he possibly could, and that his crimes were not
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: directed at like, you know, ripping off little old ladies
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: who you know, were living off their pension checks or whatever.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: I think it's fine to have that kind of fun
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: sort of angle to it. Manchester, the real guy is
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: still in prison to this day. His second I want
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: to say, he was sentenced to forty five years in
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 2: prison after after being caught the second time around, and
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: he has attempted to escape at least two or three
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: times since then.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: So goodness, this movie looks interesting to me. I honestly
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: think I'll probably watch it.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: And then next up we have a series, a trailer
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: for a series on Hulu. This is the one that
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: I was saying I could have put in the other
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: section as well, but you said you had a defense
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 2: for it. It's Washington. Black is the name of the series.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's about a young slave on a Barbados plantation.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: I'm reading the log Lane who scapes and goes on
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: a globe spanning adventure and the reason why I feel
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: First of all, yes, the trailer makes it feel fantastical
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: a little bit in the way they portray the adventures,
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: But to me, Gulliver's travels around the world in eighty
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: days are all things that I would put into a
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: geek category.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: Of like.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: Adventure and fantasy and exploring new worlds. And I don't
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: know how deep they'll dive into it, but it very
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: gave me. It very much gave me that sort of
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: a vibe.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is based off a novel that was written
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: I think twenty eighteen, I think is when this book
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: came out as a Canadian author who wrote this, and
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: I'm vaguely familiar with the novel. I don't know how
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: closely the movie is going to adhere to the book,
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: but based on the trailer, it looked pretty faithful. I mean,
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: I'm sure it's going to have to compress a lot
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: of stuff in order to tell the story, but it
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: looked like it was following the general beats of the
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: story that I remember from the novel, and I think
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: it looks like it's very well made. I'm glad it's
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: a series and not just a movie, because if it
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: were just a movie, I think I may have even
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: said that a second ago, but like, if it were
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: just a movie, then you'd have to leave so much
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: more stuff out.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I I am very much interested in this.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: It looks great. Sterling K. Brown is in it, not
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: as the titular character because that's a young young adult,
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: older child, but also executive produces it. Again, it just
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: follows into that period adventure geekdom. Also, I guess twenty
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: thousand Leagues Under the Sea I would put into that category,
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: even though that is definitely more fantastical or journey to
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: the Center of the Earth. It looks really good to me.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: I mean it looks again, it looks like it's incredibly
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: well made. So I'm certainly interested at least to hear
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: your take on it. Like, maybe I'll watch it too,
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: because me, like I said, I'm familiar with the novel,
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: so it'd be interesting to see how they adapt it.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 2: And like I said, based on the trailer, it looked
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: like they did a pretty darn good job like nothing
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: stood out to me as being Oh, well, that's different.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: You say you're familiar with the novel in a positive
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: or negative way.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think it was well written, like it's
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe if it had been a little
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: more on the fantastical side, it would have resonated with
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: me more. But then I don't know that it would
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: have been as emotionally impactful. So it's hard to say
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 2: like I didn't I didn't feel that it spoke to
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: me on a deep level. But also it's in a
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: while since I've read it.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: So gotcha, gotcha something.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: And I don't know if you know this, arial but
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: between when I read it and now, I had a
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: little medical whoopsie.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: Oh I mean that's that's fine. Time has no meaning
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: to me. So thank you for clarifying that. It just,
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: you know, everything up there got scrambled a little bit,
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: is all I'm saying. Yeah, Hash Browns. Anyhow, if Historical
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: Adventures is your jam, maybe check it out. This next trailer.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: We've talked a little bit about this. This one is
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: not for me, oh wow, because I saw this and
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh, this is the one that sold me. Really,
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think So the trailer is for The
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: Toxic Avenger, which is a Trauma film, one of James
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: gunns earlier's earlier works. Back. We've talked a little bit
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: about this on the show before, back when he was
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: trying to be like super edgy.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: To be fair, James Gunn and Trauma did Tromeo and Juliet.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: He didn't do the Toxic He didn't do the Toxic Adventure. Okay,
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 2: Tromeo and Juliette.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: I did not like. I did see it. I can't
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: recommend it, but you know, uh, it's it was an edgy, weird,
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: kind of grody film. I would say that is getting
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: a remake. And all of the teasers up to this
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: point have felt super low budget, kind of like the
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: original did because they were B movies at the time,
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: for sure, But this trailer brings the budget up the
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: most ridiculous. So Peter Danklish plays a toxic toxic Oh whoo,
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: the Toxic Avenger Adventure. Yes, Toxic Avenger, thank you. I'm
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: putting a D in there. I don't know why.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: The Avenger. He's an ad man with a difference. He
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: john hams it up all over the screen.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so he's a janitor who's struggling to take care
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: of his kid. He's not getting paid enough, and he
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: realizes the company he's working for is doing some shady
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: stuff and gets turned into uh like the toxic Avenger.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know how else to put it. And yeah,
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: it's got a bizarre cast. Yeah it does.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, like, you know, you've got like Elijah Wood
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: playing a really creepy character makes me think of a
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: little bit of his character from Sin City, though he's
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: much more visually creepy in this.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: He looks like Danny DeVito's the Penguin in it kind of.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got bald on top and long, stringy black hair,
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 2: and but yeah, he's reminding me of is what gosh,
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: what was his character name in Sin City? I camera,
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: like a normal name, like Frank or something. I can't remember,
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 2: but it was.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: Going to look it up. I was going to, but
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: it's taking my computers being dumb. But Kevin, Kevin, that's I. Yeah,
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: it was a very normal name. I thought.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: I thought this trailer looked great. I thought that the
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: violence was particularly gratuitous in splattery in a way that
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 2: makes me think of classic trauma. So I found this
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: one pretty entertaining again, like Peter Dinklin was a highlight
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: for two different trailers for US this week, and this
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: comes out August twenty ninth. This was a movie that
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: for a while people were wondering if it was ever
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: going to come out, because like they shot this movie
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: like four or five years ago at least, So for
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: it to finally come out, it's pretty exciting.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It also has Kevin Bacon as one of the
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: bad guys. I think Elijah Whit is his lackey. Yeah,
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: I think so. Yeah. So I'm definitely gonna watch this.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know that.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: Like, I'm hoping it's good and the trailer is not
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 2: just a collection of memorable moments and that's all it
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: has going for it.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: I hope that's not the case. I hope they don't
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: Phantom menace. This is what I'm saying, gotcha, gotcha something
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: I will see. We also have a final trailer for
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: Fantastic Four. Again. I added it because there's a bunch
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: of stuff in it that's not in the previous trailers.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: Hopefully it won't Hopefully it won't spoil the movie. Hopefully
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: those aren't all the good bits. But this last trailer
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: shows it quite a bit more comedy.
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 2: I would say, Yeah, it's got a lot of people
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: trying to set Ben Grem up to say it's Clober
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: in time, and he proclaims that he doesn't actually say that,
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: it's just something that's in the cartoon. So I love
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: that there is a cartoon version of the Fantastic Four
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: in this MCU, you know, multiverse variant.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: Also we get to see a little bit more personality
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: from Johnny Storm, which I think is nice, with mostly
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: him teasing Ben Grim, which is right on brand. Yeah. Yeah,
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: the more I see of this movie, the more into
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: it I am. It comes out really.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: Soon, so yeah, July twenty fifth. We got to see
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 2: a bit more of the Silver Surfer. We got to
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 2: see a lot of shadow and over the shoulder shots
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 2: of Galactus, but nothing showing.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: His face yet. Yeah.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought, I really like the aesthetic of this movie.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: I think the aesthetic is corgeous. That retro futurism.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: I love it. Yeah. They've also recently done some edits.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: I read this on Yahoo this morning. They've done some edits.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: So it was going to be slightly over two hours.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: Now it's slightly under two hours. I'm kind of a fan.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: Hopefully it holds up. I am a fan in general
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: of movies that are under two hours, provided you can
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: tell your story in that time. Yeah, I.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 2: Like I like a movie to not have too much
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 2: padding or to feel like it's treading water, just so
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 2: that it can get to the point where the climax
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: can happen, because sometimes, like sometimes that's so noticeable that
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: you can articulate it right. You could say there's no reason,
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 2: like while you're watching it, at least if you're me.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: While you're watching the movie, there can be moments where
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 2: you're thinking, there's no reason for this scene to exist.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 2: You know, it's not developing the plot, we're not learning
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 2: anything new about the characters.
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: It's just there.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 2: Why it must be there, because there must have been
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: a moment that the director or the editor particularly liked.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: But if it's not adding anything to character or story,
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 2: I don't think it should be there necessarily. And I
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 2: I like the idea that maybe they tightened us up
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 2: a little bit, because some of the Marvel films do
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: come across as being a bit indulgent, and only a
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 2: few of the Marvel films feel like they have earned
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: the right to be indulgent.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, for sure. But anyhow I am. I am
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: optimistic for this one. I love the aesthetic, I love
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: the cast. So even though I'm not ben Grim, I'll
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: get over it.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: Well, there's always there's always variants.
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: There's always variants. Now I've got my eyes focused on,
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: you know, the new D and D television show coming
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: to Netflix. So yeah, maybe I'll start a viral camp
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: for that. It will go so well. The last thing
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: we got so a couple of weeks ago, Jonathan asked
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: me a question about what classic monster I would want rebooted,
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: and we both and he would want rebooted. We both
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: agreed the Creature from the Black Lagoon and James Wand
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: is working on a reboot for that, but we don't
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: have anything on that. We do have another Creature from
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: the Black Lagoon esque film that is coming out, has come.
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: Out, is coming out coming out July twenty fifth. July
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 2: twenty fifth, another one of those busy days. Like I
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 2: think last week we talked about how like mid to
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: late July is just packed with releases that are coming out.
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: Some of them are coming out to just straight to digital,
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: some are going to the theaters. This one is called well,
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 2: the English title is Monster Island. Apparently there's another version
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 2: of it where it's called All Wrong. Ikon and Shutter
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 2: has picked up at least the distribution for here in
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 2: the States. And it's a film that's set in nineteen forties,
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: so World War two era in the South Pacific, and
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: there are these Our protagonists are a disgraced Japanese soldier
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 2: who has been deemed a trader as being transported back
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 2: for essentially a court martial. A British prisoner of war
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 2: who's been captured by the Japanese. They've been shackled together,
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 2: but then the ship that they are on, the Japanese
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 2: ship they're on, is hit by a sub attack. Submarine attack,
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 2: and the two of them, I guess are the only
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 2: survivors from what we see in the trailer, and they
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: wash up on an island, only to find that this
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 2: island has an inhabitant in it that's like a gill
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 2: Man style monster that toats wants them both dead.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's inspired by the creature from the Black
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: Lagoon as well as Malaysian folklore. And the one of
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: the producers is Mike Wallawan, who also worked on Crazy
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: Rich Asians, which I love that movie.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: Interesting to me because while I like the creature from
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: the Black Lagoon, I don't know if I can't get
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: from the trailer whether this creature is inherently violent or
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: if it's also misunderstood.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: It looks like it might be more of the first
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: than the second, just based upon the fact, like you
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 2: look at it's like it's designed to have really long
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 2: fangs for example, which you don't typically see that and think, oh,
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: this is a monster that's just been misinterpreted. Like it
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 2: looks more like, no, this is supposed to be it's
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: a predator. I mean that's what those teeth are for us,
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 2: for latching onto and hurting and or killing prey. So
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 2: we'll have to see. Like I thought that it was
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 2: an interesting trailer. The Shutter Like to Be is another
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: one of those companies that can that puts out a
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 2: lot of stuff. Either Shutter produces it or they get
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 2: the distribution rights to it, and some of that stuff
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 2: it slips under the radar, but it's like legit good.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 2: It's just it's low budget but still really good. Some
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 2: of that stuff you watch and you think ooh, this
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 2: is like a borderline asylum movie, and the asylum pictures
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 2: films are are pretty bad, yeah, and cynical, like there's
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 2: there's cynical cash scrabs and they're they're trying to take
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 2: advantage of better known material and to kind of cash
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 2: in on that in a way that's just blatant and
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 2: disgusting in my opinion.
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: So this doesn't look like that. By the way. It doesn't.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: I don't get that vibe.
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 2: I just don't know what the level of quality is
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 2: for this, but I wanted to include it because we
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 2: both like monsters Ariels a Monster Girl, and we both
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 2: like Creature from the Black Lagoon in particular, and I
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 2: was like, obviously there's some element of reference there.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, I mean, and I this looks like
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: it would be on the horror scale, a good movie,
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: whereas like some of the water based horrors I have watched,
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: monster movies have not been like Dagon or Oh I
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: love Dagon. I mean, it's such a B movie. It's
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: so silly.
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 2: Dagon is very silly. Like, yeah, I don't know that
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 2: I could say Dagon's a good movie, but I found
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 2: it very entertaining.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: And then there was like a I don't know if
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking of the right movie she creature. I'm not
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: familiar with this one, which is a mermaid who actually
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: turns into like a a creepy angler. She's a seductive
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: movie mermaid and she turns into like a creepy angler
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: creature to kill people. And it's I think a remake
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 1: of like a really old, like fifties movie, but it's
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: also kind of B level.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if you are if you're a Lovecraft fan of
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 2: the literature, not the racist novelist. If you're a fan,
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 2: if you're a fan of you're a fan of Lovecraft's literature, uh,
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 2: seek out Dagon at some point and watch it because
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 2: it is. I'm not saying it's a good movie, but.
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 1: I found it.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 2: So I was really impressed because, like I was taking
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 2: it into account with how low budget it was. So
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 2: I was like, all right, I'm going to give this
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 2: movie yards and yards and yards of slack because they
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 2: clearly don't have a budget to make what they want
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 2: to make. But I felt it was very sincerely and
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 2: I really enjoyed it remarkably.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: So it's one of those movies that I'm like, oh,
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: we're having a bad Movie night. Oh you haven't watched this.
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: I mean it's been it's been at least twelve years
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: since I've watched it now, probably about the same for me.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: So I don't know if it holds up or if
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: I would enjoy it as good on the third or
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: fourth watch it. I don't know how many times I've
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: seen it, but it is definitely one of those. I
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: got a contribution to my Bad Movie Night that is
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: both fun and horrible at the same time.
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 2: Well, I have to say this is not in our lineup,
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 2: but I did notice on to be honestly, I think
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 2: it was toob Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was to
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 2: be that they have available a little movie called Blood
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 2: Salvage from nineteen ninety.
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: That we are gonna have to watch.
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 2: We're gonna have to get a group together and watch
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 2: Blood Salvage because the Strickland family are extras in it.
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 2: And so there's a moment like it's the second scene
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 2: in the movie where if you know where to look,
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 2: you can see me and my mom and my dad
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 2: and probably my sister, though I had trouble picking her
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 2: out this most recent time when I was watching the beginning.
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: I mean if you want to check about movies on
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: two B. I'm also in a movie on two B,
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: The Perfect Mother, which I did in twenty which came
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: out in twenty twenty four.
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 2: It's a tiny, tiny bit part. Yeah, mine's not even
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 2: a part. I'm just literally one person in a in
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 2: an audience at a po dunk beauty contest in a
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 2: Georgia carnival setting.
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: I don't I like. On the one hand, I want
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: to support you and watch you be an extra in
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: the thing. On the other hand, it looks like it
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: would be too scary for me. It is so not scary.
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: I mean it is.
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 2: It does have some gory moments in it, right. I
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 2: don't want to I don't want to just completely discount it,
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 2: but it is. I would say it's more of a
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 2: comedic horror movie. It's not an outright comedy. It is
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 2: a horror movie, but it's got enough comedic elements in it.
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 2: Like I'll tell you my favorite line. It's a shame
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 2: to spoil it, but here's my favorite line.
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: In the movie.
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 2: Is a point where the bad guy Jake has kidnapped
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 2: a young woman who is has to use a wheelchair
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 2: to get around, and so he's Jake, is kind of
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 2: a self taught DIY surgeon, mad scientist guy, and he's
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 2: been injecting this young woman's spine with spinal fluid and
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 2: has managed to actually regenerate some of her motor functions
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 2: purely by chance. And she tries to make an escape
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 2: and he catches her. He's taking her, he's carrying her upstairs,
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 2: and the line is I make you walk again, and
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 2: the first thing you do is run out on me.
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, that is such a.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: Good line, so good.
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 2: I just anyhow, maybe Ray Walston is in it. He
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 2: played my favorite Martian in the TV series, My Favorite Martian.
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 2: I do enjoy Ray Walston.
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: I can't guarantee I'll make it through, but I will
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: try for you. The bad Guy.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 2: The bad Guy used to do commercials for Kate's Pickles,
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 2: and there are actual references to Kate's Pickles commercials.
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: In the movie. I don't think I know what Kate's
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: pickles are.
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 2: So like the commercials had this kind of you know,
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 2: old hic type character played by the guy who plays
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 2: Jake and Blood Salvage, who would say things like why we.
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: Talk so much about pickles?
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 2: Whether there ain't nothing else to do or something like that,
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 2: Like it's like very kind of folksy, Southern type stuff.
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 2: And there are references to those commercials peppered into Blood Salvage,
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 2: which just delights me to no end. Like it's it's
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 2: a movie that feels very much rooted in rural Georgia,
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 2: and since that's where I grew up, I think it
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 2: speaks to me on a special level because of that.
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: Gotcha, gotcha, Well we will have to find time to
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 1: do that along with a game night. Yes, we'll update
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: all of you, dear listeners, who I know care so
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: very much whether or not I made it through the movie.
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe maybe you can tell us what you thought
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 2: when you were watching it on two B and you know,
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 2: taking a break every twenty minutes for more commercials.
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: Yep. But until that time, we have reached the end
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 1: of our lineup. Super looking forward to July, I'm I'm
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: getting excited about superheroes again. Sorry, just had to add
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: that because Superman and Fantastic for It both July. Okay,
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: back to it. We're at our end of our of
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: our episode, which means we tell you how to get
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: in touch with us. So Jonathan take it away.
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 2: So what you're gonna do is you're going to look
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 2: for a one of those those gander buckets that's on wheels,
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 2: you know, the yellow ones that you know you see
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 2: in places like schools and stuff. It's in the hallway.
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 2: But you're gonna need to look for one that is
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 2: filled with a sort of glowing green liquid and you're
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 2: gonna dip a mop into that, and this is going
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 2: to actually mutate the mop, And you're gonna sit there
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 2: and think, like, how can a mop be mutated? That's
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 2: how dirty this mop was had enough organic material in
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 2: it so that it could actually mutate upon touching this
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 2: seemingly toxic material within this bucket. Now that mop is
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 2: going to become sentient and you're going to have to
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 2: have a long conversation with it. Not first, all the
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 2: mop's going to do is scream because it's just horrified
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 2: at having sentience. You're going to have to work your
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 2: way through that. I suggest being real casual about it,
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 2: like don't go and show the mop TikTok or something,
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 2: or that's never gonna stop screaming. You got to be
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 2: careful and.
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 1: Gentle with this. But you've got to get to a
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: point where the mop's going to be more understanding and
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: outright friendly eventually, and you can have some pretty deep
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: conversations with this mop. Heck, you might even be able
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: to ask it the question you want to ask me,
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 1: and the Mop's not going to tell you the right answer,
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: but it'll be an interesting one. So, this relationship between
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: you and the MOP, it's going to take a few
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 1: weeks for it to really develop into something strong enough
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 1: for you to get to the point where you can
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: ask it where I am, because the MOP actually knows,
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: but it doesn't feel right telling you because I'm famously
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: pretty private, so it doesn't want to just spill the beams.
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 1: You do need to get to a point where you
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 1: have built a level of trust, like take the MOP
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 1: out on various outings like whether you go maybe hiking
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 1: or to the movies, or maybe you go dancing and
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: you need a partner, maybe you need someone to stand
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: in as your best man or maid of honor. Well,
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: you know, the MOP is waiting for this opportunity, and
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: the more you show the MOP that you value its friendship,
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 1: the more likely the MOP is going to tell you
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 1: how you can get in touch with me. Once you
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: do you're going to need to bring them up with
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: you to me so that you can ask your question
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 1: and I will answer you while I burn the mop.
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 1: And if that is too sad a story for you,
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 1: it shouldn't have told you how to find me. It's
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 1: not that talking mop is scary, it's that Jonathan is vicious.
• 1:30:11
